The Elevate Prize Foundation announced 12 winners Monday, instead of the usual 10, because there were so many strong candidates the selection committee couldn’t narrow the field further, foundation chairman and founder Joseph Deitch told The Associated Press. Each winner will receive a $300,000 unrestricted grant to continue their work and $200,000 in support services to help them reach a wider audience, as part of the foundation’s goal to “make good famous.”
“I realized I couldn’t not have them all,” Deitch said. “I want to work with them. I want to go on this journey with them. I just want them to reach their potential and they all just have massive potential and passion and purpose.”
Cindy Eggleton, co-founder and CEO of Brilliant Detroit -- a nonprofit dedicated to providing early childhood development programs to kids in their own neighborhoods – said the Elevate Prize comes at a time when her organization is poised for a national expansion.

“We’re at such an inflection point and winning this, literally I was shocked and full of tears,” Eggleton said. “It’s such an honor.”
Brilliant Detroit, which started in 2015 with 50 children under 8 years old, now supports 16,000 people including children and their families in 14 neighborhoods, where they have seen significant improvements in students’ reading levels. The plan is to expand to 24 Detroit neighborhoods next year, while also helping programs start in other cities, including Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cleveland. Eggleton said there are currently 21 cities on the waiting list for her programs, which focus on a holistic approach to helping children by providing them and their families with health, education and other support services at a house in their neighborhood.
“We’re on to something because this is a different kind of model,” she said. “What we hope to do with the Elevate Prize Foundation is work on how we going to scale this.”
Initially, Deitch said he thought Brilliant Detroit was “too local” to be considered for the Elevate Prize, which seeks to attract attention for solutions to global problems.

Then, the more he looked at the nonprofit’s processes and their results, he said he thought, “Cindy for president!”
“We’re all ‘Cindy for president!’,” added Carolina García Jayaram, Elevate Prize Foundation’s CEO.
“This model that she’s created -- which seems so oddly simple – is brilliant,” Deitch continued. “When people are so full of common sense and clarity, they make it look so easy, but she’s extraordinary.”
Eggleton, like the other 11 Elevate Prize winners, was chosen by a panel of leaders in academia, activism, business and the media, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, who received the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award last year for her work inspiring social action.

Jayaram said one of the criteria for selecting the winners is whether they bring a unique point of view to the group. “It’s magical what happens when we bring them together,” she said, adding that several past winners are now collaborating. “The diversity yields many benefits to us and to the winners. In terms of the ‘make good famous’ piece, the story just gets richer and richer by virtue of the fact that they’re coming from such different places in the world.”
In addition to Eggleton, this year’s Elevate Prize winners are:
— Nelly Cheboi, of TechLit Africa, a nonprofit that uses recycled computers to create technology labs in schools. Cheboi was selected as part of The Elevate Prize Foundation’s partnership with CNN Heroes. (Kenya)
— Crystal Echo Hawk, of IllumiNative, a nonprofit project that amplifies contemporary Native voices, stories, and issues to increase the influence of Native peoples. (United States)

ALLEN PARK -- The Lions allowed a league-worst 31.1 points in the first seven games of the season. They’ve allowed 19.8 points since. It has been one of the most stunning turnarounds in the league this season, and it has helped save their season.
We start there with the mailbag this week. Thanks again to all who fired off questions. Those can always be tweeted here, or emailed to kmeinke@mlive.com.
Q: I notice there’s no draft questions for you here (yet) which must be wild for a December mailbag! Lions D has obviously gotten better since the bye but is there any area in PFF gradings etc, where this is really emphasized? Or has everyone improved some way, making the sum better? -- @DenisKelly_Real
A: Considering this is the latest into a season the Lions have been anywhere but dead-last since Jim Caldwell -- yes, Jim Caldwell -- was still their coach, yes, having something at stake besides tanking for the draft is something new. Make no mistake, their postseason chances are slim -- around 5-10% depending on which analytics nerds you trust -- but at least being in the conversation, again, is something new.
As for the defense, the turnaround has been spectacular. They were the worst in the league at almost everything, from points allowed to yards allowed, passing yards allowed, yards per pass allowed, completion percentage allowed, quarterback rating allowed, rushing yards per game allowed, third-down defense and so on. The totality of their demise was unmatched.
Then they fired defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, made some schematic changes, benched a handful of veterans, and the results have been stunning.
In the last five weeks, a defense that had been allowing the highest quarterback completion percentage in the league has now allowed quarterbacks to complete just 57.4% of their passes -- the lowest clip in the league. Just stunning.
In the last five weeks, a defense that had picked off the fewest passes in the league has picked off seven passes -- the highest clip in the league. Again, just stunning.
In the last five weeks, a defense that had been allowing the highest passer rating in the league has allowed quarterbacks to compile a rating of 74.9 -- the second-lowest clip in the league. Say it with me: Just stunning.
So to your question: What’s going on here? The benchings have helped. Defensive lineman Michael Brockers and cornerback Amani Oruwariye both look like they’re in their final weeks in Detroit, and their replacements have far outplayed them. Replacements like John Cominsky, Josh Paschal and Isaiah Buggs have played well up front, while Jerry Jacobs is teaming up with Jeff Okudah to give Detroit its best cornerback combination in a long time. And in the back end, Kerby Joseph has really grown into the starting safety role that was vacated by the Tracy Walker injury. Walker’s initial replacement, JuJu Hughes, was a disaster in the loss against Minnesota.
I also think there’s something to be said for just how much natural development has occurred. Young players will make mistakes, and that’s a given across the league. What separates the good players from the bad ones is the ability to learn from mistakes, and the Lions have gotten that growth across the board. Aidan Hutchinson is a great example. He had the three sacks against Washington, but there were a lot of mistakes from him in the early weeks of the season, and even those three sacks were teed up by others. Now, that guy has cleaned up a lot of his issues (especially with containment) while making a lot of plays of his own -- so much so he was just named NFL defensive rookie of the month. Now he’s creeping into the conversation for defensive rookie of the year.
Rookie linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and rookie pass rusher James Houston have also come a long way. Houston didn’t even play in the first couple months of the season. Now he has the second-most sacks of any rookie in the league.
The pass rush still isn’t where it needs to be, but it’s come a long way, and that always helps the coverage. But I think it’s worth mentioning just how few blown assignments there are in the back end, too. If you’re talking about improvement from the start of the season until now, there might not be a more dramatic change than that. I still remember watching Kirk Cousins drop back to pass in the final minute in Minnesota, Detroit clinging to a three-point lead, and seeing K.J. Osborn streak toward the end zone completely unmarked. That sort of thing happened so many times early in the season and throughout last year.
When I asked Dan Campbell what he wanted to see out of his defense after firing Pleasant, I don’t think it’s any coincidence he said: “I just want to see us all on the same page, and if we’re going to get beat, it’s because maybe we’re getting outrun or we’re not quite in phase, but at least we’re kind of there. We’ve got to cut our mental (errors) in half.”
At this point, safe to say they’ve achieved that and then some. Because the worst passing defense in the league has figured out how to become one of the best. Say it with me once more: Just stunning.
Q: With all of the rookie playtime happening, which of the freshmen do you see already or anticipate most likely hitting the wall at this critical time. Take it easy, man -- nmgelfond
A: The rookie wall is a real thing, and I’ve seen it before. The NFL game is not only bigger, faster and more physical than anything these guys saw in college, but longer too, and now longer more than ever because of the 17th game. To this point, I haven’t seen any obvious signs of wall fatigue from the rookie class, although we’re now getting into the part of the season where it does happen. And I do wonder about Aidan Hutchinson.
The first-round pick has already logged 707 defensive snaps this season, which not only is 165 more snaps than the next-closest rookie defensive linemen (George Karlaftis), but ranks third among all linemen, period. Only Las Vegas’ Maxx Crosby (767) and Carolina’s Brian Burns (719) have played more than Hutchinson this season, and those guys are in their fourth seasons.
All told, the only defensive rookies who have played more snaps than Aidan Hutchinson are all defensive backs: Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen (817), Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (789), Texans safety Jalen Pitre (769) and Titans safety Roger McCreary (727).
Needless to say, this is a uniquely heavy workload for a rookie lineman. Heck, Hutchinson has already played more snaps than any Lions defensive linemen all last year. So while Hutchinson has continued to play better this season, not worse, I think it’s fair to wonder whether there is a wall coming. Because he’s already logged more snaps than any Lions rookie defensive lineman since those statistics began being tracked online more than a decade ago, and there are still five games to go.
Q: Is Logan Stenberg that bad? -- @HiMyNameIs275
A: Appears so. He’s the worst-graded player on offense, according to ProFootballFocus. Now he’s played just 28 snaps since Week 2, which is stunning considering all the injuries at guard. Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Tommy Kraemer haven’t played this season because of back injuries, while Jonah Jackson and Evan Brown have both missed multiple games because of injuries too. There was one game where Vaitai, Kraemer, Jackson and Brown were all unavailable. Yet Stenberg still didn’t play, with Detroit opting to go with an offensive tackle (Dan Skipper) and a recent signing from Philadelphia’s practice squad (Kayode Awosika) instead.
Which leaves me with the question: If Logan Stenberg can’t see the field when four guys are down at his position, then why exactly is Logan Stenberg even on the team?
Q: What do you think the chances are DJ Chark comes back to Detroit next year? Do you think Detroit wants him back? Can they bring him back with the guys they currently have? Depending on how he plays the rest of the way, does he leave and maybe get a bigger contract somewhere else? Any idea what price range he could be in the market for? Three weeks ago I would have said “not much,” but if he can do this a few more times it could be a much different answer. -- Matthew
A: Great question, and I think you danced with all the right moving parts in that discussion. The bottom line is the Lions would probably welcome his return. Yes, Chark has been a disappointment this season. But now he’s healthy and turning into the vertical field-stretcher they always thought they were getting. And you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what kind of impact that had on the offense. With Josh Reynolds, Amon-Ra St. Brown and D’Andre Swift also healthy, Jacksonville simply couldn’t defend everybody, and didn’t.
“We were joking about it earlier this week, like calling it we had our horses back,” quarterback Jared Goff said. “You could feel it on Wednesday with Josh and DJ, and obviously Swift with his progression now, where he’s at now. Those guys make a huge difference. They’re some of our best players, and getting them on the field and getting them the ball typically results in good things, and makes my life a lot easier when they’re on the field.”
Indeed. What’s scary is the offensive explosion came with Jameson Williams operating as a decoy. Get that guy healthy and up to speed, and man, the possibilities are endless.
Then again, Chark has to actually want to come back, and at the right price too. And there’s no telling whether he’d want to. He’d be competing for snaps and balls with Jameson Williams, and that might not be attractive to a guy who came here to up the kind of numbers that would help him land a big-money, long-term contract. He won’t get that kind of contract next offseason either after battling more ankle issues, so maybe the Lions can convince him to come back on another short-term deall. More likely, Chark will look for a better opportunity elsewhere.
Q: James Houston needs a good nickname. -- @oppsopps
A: What do you have against “Da Problem?” Which to my mind, is already one of the best nicknames on the team.
“Some of the announcers (at Jackson State), they just kind of came up with it,” Houston said. “I was kind of wreaking havoc throughout my fourth game -- I think I had about 10-11 sacks -- and they came up with ‘Da Problem.’ You know, ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”
Q: As I’m finishing my 2nd glass of kool-aid this morning, with our defense seemingly progressing and apparent depth at pass rusher, who of the elite DT’s coming out who fits in with an Aaron Glenn defense -- @WhoAmI_1976
A: Do you need me to call you an Uber? While the pass rush has developed a pulse, I would not go so far as to call what they have “depth.” Yes, Aidan Hutchinson is developing rapidly. So too is James Houston, although he needs to come a long way and play a lot more before we know exactly what he is. But with Charles Harris flaming out after signing a two-year deal, Michael Brockers riding the bench during his final days in Detroit, the uncertainty of Levi Onwuzurikie’s long-term health and even Julian Okwara now likely out for the season with another injury, there is still a big need for help in the pass rush.
Having said that, I think Georgia’s Jalen Carter is the sort of puzzle piece that would not only fit into what the Lions already do, but would unlock more potential from the players around him too. With Carter joining the likes of Alim McNeill and Josh Paschal, boy the Lions would really be onto something no matter what happens with Onwuzurike.
Q: Lots of folks (myself included) feel like the lions need to upgrade at QB in the draft, but Brad Holmes has shown zero interest in doing so up to this point. Regardless of what you think the right answer is, what are the odds he actually does it?-- @sgk81
A: There are too many unknowns in that equation. But throwing a dart at the board, I’ll go 60-40 they pull the trigger on a new quarterback.
I think they genuinely love Jared Goff, and wanted to give him a legitimate shot to show he could be the guy. That approach would give the Lions time to build out the rest of the roster to support whatever young quarterback took over, and hey, if Goff proved he could be the guy along the way, they could just proceed with him under center.
At this point, Goff has played well enough to be in the conversation. Given the high risk of drafting any quarterback, I can see a scenario where the Lions determine their best path forward is to roll with the sure thing, even if he does have limitations, and use that top-five pick (at least for now) to add another playmaker around him. Throw another pass rusher into the mix with Aidan Hutchinson, for example, and baby, they just might be onto something.
But the bottom line is this: If your goal is to build a consistent winner capable of competing for the Super Bowl every year, and that is their goal, you usually need a better quarterback than the one Detroit has. Look at what Josh Allen did to Detroit on Thanksgiving. The Lions played so well, even took a late lead while draining all but 23 seconds from the clock, and still lost. Because Buffalo has Josh Allen, and Detroit has Jared Goff.
One more thing to consider: The Lions just invested heavy resources into Jameson Williams, one of the most dangerous deep threats in college football. Yet the deep ball is among Jared Goff’s biggest weaknesses. I do wonder whether Detroit will need to invest in a different quarterback to maximize the value of a guy like Jamo.
Q: Any news on Tommy Kraemer? Will he make a comeback this year? -- @mayerpeter47
A: Asked that very question, Dan Campbell said: “I do (think he’ll play this year). He’s another one that we’re just gauging his progress right now. I could see him being back at some point here over the next few weeks possibly.”
Campbell, by the way, said that on Oct. 28. A few weeks later, Kraemer still isn’t playing. Maybe that means his return is imminent, maybe that means there was some kind of setback, I’m not sure. Probably worth asking him about it this week.
Q: Since the vote of confidence in the team ... the Lions have been vastly improved. Do you think that had an effect on them? -- @constrictor_14
A: No. The upswing has coincided with Sheila Hamp issuing her vote of confidence in the leadership, but that was mostly to quell the growing restlessness around the team. Within it, I’ve never sensed a wavering in Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell. Hamp’s words were largely for the public, and had little, if any, effect on the team itself.
But a couple weeks later, Hamp looks very right, doesn’t she?
Q: Being a top-10 offense with Jared Goff at the helm do you see any parallels between drafting a rookie QB in 2023 and firing Jim Caldwell? Thanks -- Lionsleto
A: I think that’s a fair comp. Jim Caldwell was good at his best, but wasn’t always at his best and that was holding back that rebuild. The Lions ultimately determined good was no longer good enough, and fired Caldwell in an effort to take the next step. It didn’t work, but that had more to do with who Detroit hired to replace Caldwell rather than its decision to replace him in the first place.
I think a lot of that holds for Jared Goff too. He’s a good player at his best, but needs a lot of help to be at his best, and often isn’t. In the end, I think the Lions will determine they need a different player to take the next step. The trick, of course, is finding the right replacement. Because if you blow that decision, it could set back the organization for years. Again.
Q: Any idea what the succession plan might be for Ben Johnson’s eventual move to HC? -- @larrymoreorless
A: Duce Staley is already the assistant head coach and has a coordinator-type role organizationally, so perhaps he’d be a seamless transition. Then again, Dan Campbell reached down for Ben Johnson -- then a tight ends coach -- for help with designing the passing game last year, then promoted Johnson over Staley for the full-time job this year. I never heard anything about Staley getting a look, either.
I think the smart money is on Ben Johnson returning for another season, but should he go, Campbell likely will look externally for a replacement.
Q: That damn tie is going to be the difference isn’t it? -- @bracketbeard
A: The Lions beat fellow NFC wild-card hopefuls New York and Washington, and thus hold head-to-head tiebreakers over both. But then the Giants and Commanders tied each other over the weekend, which means unless Detroit ties a game down the stretch, the tiebreaker won’t come into play. In other words, Detroit has to beat both outright in the standings. With just five games left, yeah, that tie could be the difference.

Which phone camera lenses are best?
Smartphones have made some pretty impressive advancements in camera lenses over the years. However, there’s always room for improvement. That’s where a phone camera lens comes into play. What your phone lacks in wide angles, up-close image quality and slow focus can be made up for with a specific lens attachment. Phone camera lenses are great for creating high-quality photography from the convenience of your pocket.
The best phone camera lens is the Xenvo Pro Lens Kit which has a wide-angle lens for 45% more coverage, a macro lens for up-close shoots and even a mini LED ring light attachment.
What to know before you buy a phone camera lens
Lens types
Three lens types are most popular when it comes to phone camera lenses. First, we have a wide-angle lens, increasing the amount of coverage your original phone lens can view. Next, there’s the macro lens that adds more detail to close-range photos. The third most popular type of lens is the fishbowl lens. This unique lens turns an ordinary photo into a rounded-edge image with slightly distorted edges. While less popular, you can also find telephoto lenses that go the distance for long-range photography.
Accessories
A good set of accessories can make your phone camera lenses genuinely worth the buy. If you’re buying a set of lenses, you’re going to want to ensure they come with a carrying case to secure and transport all the pieces safely. You’ll also want a soft cloth to clean the lenses when they inevitably get smudged or get debris on them. Some cases also include lanyards that let you carry the case around your neck instead of simply holding it in your hand while you’re trying to shoot.
Clip-on lenses
Phone camera lenses are clipped on your existing phone using plastic clips. These clips can vary in quality depending on how much you’re willing to fork out and they can make or break a lens. Be sure to read reviews on the lenses you’re shopping for to ensure they come with high-quality clips. Ultimately, you want a clip that’s sturdy and fits snugly against your specific phone type. Remember, built-in phone lenses vary by shape and size, so each attachable lens may not fit.
What to look for in a quality phone camera lens
Dedicated phone case
Some high-quality lenses have dedicated phone cases that help the lens stay better attached. This is a massive advantage for those that don’t want to remove their phone case every time they want a quality photo. These phone cases work in tandem with the lens to close any light gaps that may appear between your phone lens and the additional lens. If any light makes its way into your actual phone lens, it can cause the image to be less clear.
Lens options
There are usually two different ways to go when shopping for a phone camera lens. You can buy a less expensive set that includes a wider variety of lenses or you can focus on one singular high-quality lens. Or, if you’ve got the extra money to spend, you can do both. Having lens options is great if you’re a versatile photographer who likes to take wide-angle shots, up-close portraits and experimental fishbowl photos. If you’d rather go the opposite route and purchase a single high-quality lens, you can rest assured you’re going to get clearer and more print-worthy imagery.
LED light
Some detachable phone camera lenses cover the built-in flashlight on your phone. This can be burdensome for any night owl photographer. Thankfully, some lens kits come with LED lights which are ideal for nighttime shoots. These lights are usually in a ring design, making them great for lighting up your surroundings for wide-angle shots. This style of lighting is also suitable for exposing a face during a portrait shoot.
How much you can expect to spend on a phone camera lens
Phone camera lenses cost anywhere from $26-$130.
Phone camera lens FAQ
Are phone camera lenses easy to use?

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The man hit and killed while working on his broken-down vehicle near Coalinga on Monday was identified by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday.
The victim was named as 76-year-old Geoffrey Balzer of Coos County Oregon.
CHP says around 11:00 p.m. Balzer was standing in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5, tending to his broken-down vehicle on the right shoulder.
According to CHP, a man in a 2015 Peterbilt tractor-trailer was traveling at around 55 miles-per-hour, approaching Balzer. The driver of the Peterbilt did not see the pedestrian in the roadway, and as a result, the Peterbilt hit the pedestrian.
Geoffrey Balzer was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Peterbilt reported no injuries. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/identified-oregon-man-killed-in-crash-near-coalinga/ | 2023-06-08 00:19:11 | 1 | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/identified-oregon-man-killed-in-crash-near-coalinga/ |
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Britain’s immigration minister said Tuesday that people who arrive by unauthorized means should not be allowed to claim asylum in the U.K. and she vowed to press on with a contentious plan to send some asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman acknowledged that a legal challenge to the policy means it’s unlikely anyone will be deported to the east African country this year.
Under a deal signed in April, Britain plans to send some migrants who arrive in the U.K. as stowaways or in small boats to Rwanda, where their asylum claims would be processed. Those granted asylum would stay in the African country rather than returning to the U.K.
The British government has said the policy will deter people-trafficking gangs who ferry migrants across the English Channel. Human rights groups say it is unworkable and inhumane to send people thousands of miles away to a country they don’t want to live in.
Braverman was appointed last month by new Prime Minister Liz Truss. Speaking at the ruling Conservative Party’s annual conference Tuesday, she said she would make the Rwanda policy work and was seeking to strike similar agreements with other countries.
She said she also would try to change the law so people who arrive in Britain by means other than established refugee programs can be deported.
“If you deliberately enter the U.K. illegally from a safe country, you should be swiftly returned to your come country or relocated to Rwanda,” Braverman said.
Tim Naor Hilton, chief executive of the group Refugee Action, said such a move would be “a blatant breach of the international refugee laws that the U.K. proudly helped create in the first place.”
Clare Mosley, founder of refugee charity Care4Calais, said it was “barbaric, untruthful and unnecessary.”
“If this government truly wanted to stop small boat crossings it would offer safe passage to those who have a viable claim for asylum,” she said.
Britain has already paid Rwanda 120 million pounds ($145 million) but no one has been sent there as part of the deal. The U.K. was forced to cancel the first deportation flight at the last minute in June after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”
Braverman railed against the ruling. “We cannot allow a foreign court to undermine the sovereignty of our borders,” she said, though she has dropped an idea suggested by the previous government of pulling Britain out of the international human rights court.
Several asylum-seekers, aid groups and a border officials’ union took legal action against the government in the British courts, with a hearing due later this month.
Thousands of people a year try to cross one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes in dinghies and other fragile craft in hope of a new life in the U.K. More than 35,500 people have made the crossing so far this year, up from 28,000 in 2021.
Dozens have died in the attempt in recent years.
The crossings, and how to stop them, are a source of friction between the U.K. and France. Braverman said the U.K. was committed to working with France to stop the smuggling gangs.
She said French authorities were stopping between 40% and 50% of boats trying to leave.
“That’s not good enough but it’s better than nothing,” she said.

The Michigan hockey team’s final trip to Minnesota last season ended in jubilation, with the Wolverines defeating the Golden Gophers for the Big Ten Tournament title.
Michigan’s first game in Minneapolis in this year ended in anguish. The eighth-ranked Wolverines allowed the tying goal with four minutes, 20 seconds remaining and then lost in overtime 4-3, giving up a power-play goal to Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Matthew Knies with nine seconds left.
Knies also gave No. 2 Minnesota (18-6-1, 12-2-1 Big Ten) a 2-1 lead at the 16:14 mark of the second period, but Michigan (13-9-1, 5-8-1) answered almost immediately. Freshman forward Adam Fantilli, a projected top-five pick in the upcoming draft, tied it 43 seconds later on a cross-ice feed from Gavin Brindley, and then Brindley put the team in front 15 seconds afterward, beating goalie Justen Close with a wrist shot off the post and in.
Fantilli also picked up an assist and is tied for the NCAA lead in points per game.
But the Wolverines couldn’t survive a Minnesota flurry in the third period. Michigan goalie Erik Portillo came up with several big saves and also got some help from the post a few times, but the Gophers broke through on a one-timer from Jackson LaCombe.
Both teams traded chances during the five-minute three-on-three overtime, but a Jackson Hallum hooking penalty with 1:37 to play put the Wolverines shorthanded.
Michigan, who entered Friday sixth in the Big Ten, was on the verge of earning a tie, but Minnesota had one last late push on the power play. Logan Cooley’s initial shot from the slot was blocked by Fantilli, and the puck squirted right to Knies, who had a wide-open net.
Both goalies were on their game early, making several big saves. It appeared the teams were headed for a scoreless first period, but a five-minute major penalty to Michigan forward Mark Estapa, the Big Ten’s penalty minutes leader, at the 19:12 mark gave the Gophers’ potent power play a prime opportunity.
They capitalized 12 seconds into the man-advantage as forward Jimmy Snuggerud, a 2022 first-round pick of the St. Louis Blues, buried a fortuitous bounce.
For the Wolverines, the opening game of their weekend series’ continues to plague them. Since mid-November, the team is 0-5-1 in the first night of a two-game series and is 4-1 in the finale.
They will look to rebound again Saturday in Minneapolis to wrap up the series. | https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2023/01/no-8-michigan-blows-late-lead-falls-to-no-2-minnesota-in-final-seconds-of-ot.html | 2023-01-21 04:31:32 | 0 | https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2023/01/no-8-michigan-blows-late-lead-falls-to-no-2-minnesota-in-final-seconds-of-ot.html |

LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A Democratic U.S. Senate candidate makes a stop in Lima to talk to small business owners and employees about what Washington can do for them.
Tim Ryan says that small businesses are the backbone of the economy, so he wanted to ask them how national lawmakers can help their businesses succeed. He also touched on inflation and how it is impacting the lower and middle class. During the pandemic, many people decided to be their own boss and start their own business, and he says the federal government need to be supportive of their efforts.
“The younger generation too, is very much into entrepreneurship and innovation so these are the things we need to start teaching in our high schools,” says Ryan. “Get kids ready to go to start their own businesses, make sure the capital is available. But I think the next version of the American middle class is going to have a lot more small businesses and so we need to make sure we are doing everything that we can permitting. You know the government is a real pain in the butt to deal with a lot of times and for small businesses that means they can’t make money and so the government needs to get its act together.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an unannounced stop in Taiwan today. She is the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit the self-ruled island claimed by China, Her visit has ratcheted up tension between China and the United States.
“I, you know, have had my disagreements with Speaker Pelosi, but I am fully supportive of her being in Taiwan,” adds Ryan. “And I think it is a great move. I think more American political leaders need to be aggressive with China. We are still the world's superpower. They are trying to displace us economically, they are not a free society and we as a country are the carrier of that torch of freedom.”
Ryan is taking on Republican challenger JD Vance in the November general election.

Dual tragedies over the weekend on opposite sides of the country left multiple students dead at the universities of Virginia and Idaho, authorities said.
Three people were killed and two were injured following a shooting at the University of Virginia late Sunday night, campus police and university president Jim Ryan confirmed early Monday.
Police said the suspect, Chris Darnell Jones, was still at large early Monday. Police said he is armed and have ordered students to shelter in place. Jones was listed on the university's athletics website as a football player in 2018.
"This is a message any leader hopes never to have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia," Ryan said, adding that classes were cancelled Monday.
In Moscow, Idaho, police there said they are investigating the deaths of four University of Idaho students found Sunday in a home near the campus. Police have called the deaths suspected homicides.
"The Moscow Police Department gives our heartfelt condolences to family members, friends and the Moscow community," police said in a statement.

The Daily’s official summer 2023 movie guide
Nobody wants to spend their vacation in the Texas sun, but plane tickets are expensive and there’s only so much to do in Denton. Don’t fret — there’s still a way to beat the heat for the low price of approximately $10 (unless you go to Alamo Drafthouse): travel the world with the following list of flicks.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”
After a five-year hiatus, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) finally returns to the big screen in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
In the latest addition of the “Spider-Verse” franchise, a teenage Morales is reunited with Gwen Stacy, who introduces him to the protectors of the multiverse — the Spider Society. Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld and Oscar Issac return to the big screen for the animated action-adventure along with newcomers Brian Tyree Henry, Jason Schwartzman, Andy Samberg and more.
Swing over to the theater near you and immerse yourself in the Spider-Verse. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is slated to release in theaters on June 2.
“Asteroid City”
In this quirky sci-fi comedy set in 1995, citizens are drawn to the desert town of Asteroid City for the annual Junior Stargazer convention.
Among the cast of Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” is Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Carrell and Maya Hawke. Though the film’s plot is still somewhat of a mystery despite its trailer, Anderson draws movie-buffs in with “Asteroid City”’s dreamy pastel color palette.
It isn’t far-fetched to predict the film will be worth seeing for its cinematography alone. “Asteroid City” is slated to release in select theaters on June 16.
“Barbie”
Sick of the real world? Ditch the crocs, grab your high heels, and take a trip down Barbieland.
Greta Gerwig’s live-action “Barbie” follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) on an adventure of a lifetime as they navigate the wonders of the real world: existential crises, prison and flat feet. In addition to Robbie and Gosling, the star-studded cast features Will Ferrell, Michael Cera Simu Liu, and more.
Out of all films on this list, you won’t want to miss this one. Remember — you’re never too old to play with dolls. “Barbie” is slated to release in theaters on July 21.
“Oppenheimer”
After walking out of “Barbie,” stretch your legs, refill your popcorn, and settle in one theater over for a screening of “Oppenheimer.”
Christopher Nolan’s latest film depicts the story of theoretical physicist and “father of the atomic bomb,” J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), and his work on the Manhattan Project during World War II. Written and directed by the genius behind “Inception” and “Interstellar,” and starring Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Florence Pugh, this biographical thriller is unlikely to disappoint.
“Oppenheimer” is slated to release in theaters on July 21.
“Problemista”
Saturday Night Live writer and comedian Julio Torres co-stars alongside Tilda Swinton in this A24 comedy.
The film, which premiered at South by Southwest on March 13, follows the journey of aspiring toy designer Alejandro (Torres) who finds himself working for Elizabeth (Swinton) after being fired from his job at a cryo-freezer company. With time on his work visa running out, Alejandro has no choice but to accompany the eccentric art critic on her mission to recover her late husband’s artwork.
“Problemista” had movie lovers laughing and crying with its unconventional jokes and unexpectedly heart-warming story. “Problemista” is slated to release in theaters on August 4.
Whether you travel to Barbieland, Asteroid City or New York, NY, enjoy your stay, and don’t forget to bring your roller skates.

Clouds will Linger at the Coast, Inland Sunny and Warm
High pressure will build in as we approach the weekend. As a result, temperatures will warm significantly inland and the marine layer will be compressed at the coast. The shallow marine layer will mean a higher chance of fog—in fact, fog is expected Saturday & Sunday mornings for coastal areas and nearby valleys. Coastal temperatures will bump up slightly, but the shallow, stable marine layer will remain cool.
Then, everything changes early next week as an area of low pressure approaches from the west. Models are showing it pumping moisture into the region from the south which could lead to rain chances here locally starting Monday through at least Thursday. These chances will be highest over the inland mountains. A lot could change in the meantime, so stay tuned to the forecast.
AIR QUALITY: Good
Overnight: Increasing low clouds for the coast and inland valleys. Breezy for inland valleys initially, then tapering off. Coastal lows in the low 50s with mid 40s to low 50s inland.
Friday: Becoming partly cloudy on the coast with clearing on the north side of the bay and sunny inland during the afternoon.

Superior Board of Trustees member Paige Henchen announced her resignation Monday evening, citing increased responsibilities at work that required her immediate departure from the board.
Henchen was elected to a four-year term on the board in 2020.
Trustee Tim Howard said he learned “an awful lot” from Henchen, and praised her for how she ran her campaign.
“You’re a fantastic asset that we can all benefit from,” Howard said.
Trustee Ken Lish also praised Henchen.
“I think you made me a better Trustee,” said Lish, who announced that he would not be seeking reelection this November. “I encourage all residents who might be interested in running for the board to please consider it.”
Mayor Chris Folsom thanked Henchen and praised her for being thoughtful and careful in her approach during a particularly tumultuous time in the city, citing the pandemic and the Marshall Fire.
“You’ve definitely served during a very challenging period during your term, and handled it all very well,” Folsom said.
“I appreciate the members of this community for electing me to serve,” Henchen said. “I’m grateful to the rest of the board and to the town staff for working so hard to serve the residents of this town.” | https://www.dailycamera.com/2022/07/25/superior-board-member-paige-henchen-resigns/ | 2022-07-26 04:50:57 | 1 | https://www.dailycamera.com/2022/07/25/superior-board-member-paige-henchen-resigns/ |
Just in time for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, Pillsbury has launched a new American flag cookie dough that helps military families in need.
New Pillsbury Salute to Service Sugar Cookie Dough is created in partnership with Operation Homefront, an organization that helps military families transition back to civilian life after they are discharged from the military. The cookies come ready to bake and are decorated with an American flag, making them perfect for patriotic barbecues this summer.
Now through the end of August, Pillsbury will make donations to Operation Homefront for every package of dough purchased, up to $150,000. To make sure your package of cookie dough leads to a donation, head to Pillsbury.com/mission and enter the code on your package. For each code entered, Pillsbury will donate 10 cents. There is a limit of five codes per household.
One package of dough makes 20 pre-cut cookies that are ready to drop on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven. The Salute To Service cookies are available for a limited time at stores nationwide, like Target.
A handful of other products also raise proceeds for military families, including Franzia wine, which just launched a limited-edition patriotic box that’s decorated with stars and stripes. The box celebrates Franzia’s commitment to Fisher House Foundation, which supports military and veteran families who need housing near a hospitalized loved one. It’s available nationwide from Memorial Day (May 30) through Independence Day (July 4) while supplies last.
Franzia will make a donation through the “Salute to Franz” promotion, which gives $1 for every 5-liter or 3-liter box of wine up to $25,000. It will also contribute all profits from the sale of Franzia’s Patriotic Collection, which includes clothing items and accessories, from May 1 to July 31.
You can also donate to military families through the Red Cross, which supports military families and veterans, provides emergency communications to service members, helps service members obtain emergency financial assistance and supports military families through the challenges of deployment.
If you’d like to donate directly to Operation Homefront, you can do so on their website. You can choose a monthly or one-time gift or donate to a specific need. If you’d rather volunteer, they are also looking for help.

CONCORD, N.C. (WBTV) - From Cabarrus County Schools: North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper visited Concord High School on Thursday, Oct. 13th, to celebrate Jump Start Jobs Week -- a community-wide event to connect local employers with high school students in the Jobs for North Carolina’s Graduates (JNCG) program.

TRAVERSE CITY — Michele and Jeff Joubran both have deep ties to the downtown Traverse City business community.
The Joubrans became a bigger part of that family when they opened Sweet Pea, a children’s clothing and accessory store, at 205 E. Front St. in 2009. The Joubrons became a bigger part of the downtown business community on Thursday as the winners of the 2022 Lyle DeYoung Award.
Jeff and Michele Joubran were surprised with the award on Thursday at the Downtown Traverse City Association’s annual dinner at the City Opera House.
The Lyle DeYoung award has been awarded by the DTCA for nearly 30 years. It is given to “a community member or members who have made a significant contribution to the vitality of downtown Traverse City” and is named for DeYoung, a long-time business owner and downtown leader who died in 1992.
“I was surprised; that was real cool,” Jeff Joubran said of the honor. “What an honor. As a young kid I went to DeYoung’s and knew the DeYoung family.
“How cool is that? It’s kind of the legacy of downtown.”
Jeff and Michele Joubran have their own downtown retail legacy.
Jeff Joubran said he grew up at his parent’s downtown stores, The Nutcracker and Country Christmas. The daughter of Mayor Richard Lewis, Michele Jourbran previously worked at Captain’s Quarters for about a decade.
Jeff Joubran is also treasurer of the Traverse City Downtown Development Authority board of directors.
“Jeff and Michele are excellent examples of servant leaders,” DDA CEO Jean Derenzy said in a release. “They are admired by their peers in the business community and are deeply involved in the community at large. We are thrilled to be able to give them this honor after their years of hard work to improve the downtown we all love.”
Jeff Joubran said being identified on the same level as his peers and receiving the award from many of those business owners and previous award recipients is “almost eye opening now.”
“You look up at the board and see all those names, and it’s incredible to be a part of something like that,” he said in the release announcing the 2022 award. “It’s a great honor.”
Michele and Jeff Joubran had one child, Grace, when Sweet Pea opened and second daughter, Lily, arrived two weeks later.
Now the Joubrans have six children as the couple awaits their seventh child in January. | https://www.record-eagle.com/news/business/michele-jeff-joubran-win-2022-lyle-deyoung-award/article_55a01bb2-5949-11ed-9253-c3b7cc04ad81.html | 2022-11-02 19:25:27 | 0 | https://www.record-eagle.com/news/business/michele-jeff-joubran-win-2022-lyle-deyoung-award/article_55a01bb2-5949-11ed-9253-c3b7cc04ad81.html |

YORK COUNTY, Pa. — The Lancaster Conservancy announced Tuesday that a new nature preserve is officially open to the public.
Wizard Ranch Nature Preserve is ready to welcome the public with two recently completed looping trails and a parking area while stewardship efforts continue, according to the Conservancy.
The 200-acre nature preserve was acquired from the Boy Scouts of America in 2019. Since then, the over 50-year-old nonprofit land trust's Stewardship Team and volunteers have worked resolutely to remove invasive species from the preserve and prepare trails for visitors.
Restoration of Wizard Ranch Nature Preserve has been a priority for the Conservancy for the greater Hellam Hills Conservation area. When the land was first acquired, the unhealthy forests were suffering canopy collapse due to unchecked invasive plants and insects.
The Conservancy's Stewardship Team worked to remove the invasive species. Staff and volunteers trimmed and pulled plants like multiflora rose, bittersweet and bush honeysuckle and used forestry mowers to reduce the impaired forest to a savanna-like habitat.
In 2023, the organization implemented the first-ever prescribed burn on a Conservancy preserve at Wizard Ranch to further manage the invasive plant growth.
“With the recent success of the prescribed burn, we are now ready to provide the first iteration of access and trails, which includes two loops of a planned 5-mile trail system," said the Senior Vice President of Stewardship at the Lancaster Conservancy Brandon Tennis.
"These trails will allow the public to enter, traverse, and experience the significant management changes at Wizard Ranch that have taken it from a heavily compromised ecosystem to now a nature preserve well on its way to restored habitat and recreational trails through robust investments of me, materials, and expertise by our staff, contractors, and volunteers," he continued.
However, the Conservancy’s work stewarding Wizard Ranch Nature Preserve is not done yet. More trails and amenities to assist in community education and engagement efforts are being developed at Wizard Ranch, and restoration efforts, including intensive work to restore the preserve’s wetlands, will be ongoing.
Wizard Ranch Nature Preserve is part of the Hellam Hills Conservation Area, which runs from north of Wrightsville to Codorus Creek and is the largest contiguous forest in the triangle between the cities of York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg. | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/outdoors/york-county-nature-preserve-opens-public-two-completed-looping-trails/521-08a3152f-408f-414f-8b2d-2892405d24d1 | 2023-05-02 23:05:44 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/outdoors/york-county-nature-preserve-opens-public-two-completed-looping-trails/521-08a3152f-408f-414f-8b2d-2892405d24d1 |
OREM, Utah, Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports nutrition and lifestyle brand Bucked Up debuted its "Bucked Up Endurance" line today, further expanding and diversifying its already robust product portfolio. The expansion will also allow the company to reach a whole new demographic of customers.
The new endurance line features two uniquely-formulated products, Full Bore and Long Range — both aim to increase efficiency and performance in endurance athletes, including cyclists, runners, swimmers, skiers and more.
"As with all of our products, we are committed to providing consumers with the best, most cutting-edge ingredients available in order to help them achieve their health and fitness goals," said Bucked Up CEO and Co-founder Ryan Gardner. "We did that with our pre-workout, and this is no different. We look forward to seeing customers try the new line of products, so they can experience the benefits firsthand."
Backed by state-of-the-art formulas, Full Bore and Long Range leverage innovative, clinically-proven ingredients to push endurance athletes past their boundaries, allowing them to achieve maximum performance.
Full Bore contains:
- Peak O2 Blend - A combination blend created from mushroom extract used to increase endurance and stamina, fight muscle fatigue and support cardiovascular function
- L-Citrulline + Agmatine Sulfate - Powerful nitric oxide boosters that promote better blood flow to the body, brain and central nervous systems
- Beet Root Extract - A nutrient-rich anti-inflammatory that promotes cardiovascular function and performance
- Betaine Anhydrous - A naturally occurring chemical that supports cellular hydration and function
Long Range includes:
- A precise 0.8:1 ratio of fructose to glucose with electrolytes, including sodium, calcium and potassium, that maximizes fueling and allows athletes to rehydrate their bodies while doing strenuous exercise and long events
- A formulation, including Vitamin C, to support consumers' immune systems by reducing the number of immune cells lost during exercise
Full Bore and Long Range are now available for purchase at buckedup.com and in Bucked Up brick-and-mortar stores located across Utah and Idaho. Full Bore currently comes in Tropical Punch, while Long Range comes in Blood Raz and Lemon Lime. More Bucked Up endurance-specific products will be available to consumers later in 2023.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: New York, N.Y., November 27, 2022. Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Enviva Inc. (NYSE: EVA) between February 21, 2019 and October 11, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Enviva securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Enviva class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9162 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enviva had misrepresented the environmental sustainability of its wood pellet production and procurement; (2) Enviva had similarly overstated the true measure of cash flow generated by the Company's platform; (3) accordingly, Enviva had misrepresented its business model and the Company's ability to achieve the level of growth that defendants had represented to investors; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Enviva class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9162 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Looking to reinvigorate their offense that has become stagnant, the Washington Commanders are turning back to Carson Wentz at quarterback for a crucial late-season game with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance.
Coach Ron Rivera decided to go with Wentz over Taylor Heinicke for his team’s next game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, citing the veteran QB’s play in relief at San Francisco and a better command of the offense than earlier this season.
“Where we are right now, I’m looking for a little bit of a spark, a little something different,” Rivera said after practice Wednesday. “And I think now’s a good opportunity for it.”
Wentz replaced Heinicke during the fourth quarter of Washington’s loss at San Francisco and went 12 of 16 for 123 yards and a touchdown pass. The 29-year-old with the strong arm gives the Commanders a higher ceiling than Heinicke, whose success running the offense sputtered after winning five of his first six starts.
“I felt like we were on a roll there for a little bit, and got ourselves in a position to make the playoffs,” Heinicke said. “Obviously you want to play, but it’s out of my hands now. They’ve made a decision and I’m going to try to be the best backup I can be to Carson.”
Rivera told several veteran players about his decision before naming Wentz the starter, which was the most likely outcome not only given the move to bench Heinicke and the Commanders’ three-game winless stretch but also the assets the organization gave up to acquire Wentz last offseason. He went into training camp as the unquestioned starter before getting injured.
Months later, Wentz’s performance against the 49ers tipped the scales in his favor, despite going 2-4 in his first six games with Washington.
“Now he’s had a little bit more of an opportunity to see the rest of the offense, feel the rest of the offense and I think that’s a big part of it,” Rivera said. “He’s more comfortable with what we’re doing. That was evident in the game. In spite of the fact that they knew we were going to throw it, they kept coming, and I thought he handled those situations very, very well.”
This will be Wentz’s first start since Oct. 13 at Chicago when he broke the ring finger on his right, throwing hand and had surgery, landing on injured reserve. He was in uniform again and backed up Heinicke in a home loss to the New York Giants on Dec. 18.
“It’s exciting for me, personally, but I think at the end of the day it’s exciting for this team,” Wentz said. “We all know where we’re at. We all know what we’re capable of and what we’re up against.”
The Commanders are 7-7-1 and can clinch a playoff spot with a win and with losses by Seattle, Detroit and Green Bay. They host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18.
They can also be eliminated with a loss to Cleveland and wins by the Lions and Packers. Improved defense would help after a rough showing at San Francisco, but Wentz is now being tasked with using the skills that made him a No. 2 pick and multiyear starter to help Washington stay in contention.
“We know how talented he is: He’s really big, great arm strength, can make a ton of plays off schedule,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. “Coming off of the injury, I think he looks healthy, and he looks fresh. He did a lot of nice things.”
Wentz also brings something fresh to the Commanders after they went 0-2-1 in their past three games.
“I feel like we can use some type of change or something to spark our offense,” rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. said. “I feel like we’ve been kind of doing the same things over the last however many weeks. It’ll be nice to kind of have something new.”
NOTES: S Kam Curl said he feels good after missing the 49ers game with an ankle injury. He was a limited participant in practice, along with CB Benjamin St-Juste, who has also been hampered by a sore ankle. … RB Antonio Gibson (knee/ankle) did not practice and is in danger of not being available against Cleveland.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — For Kyle Shanahan, the chance to coach the San Francisco 49ers against the Dallas Cowboys in a playoff game is a throwback to when that rivalry was the biggest in football.
Shanahan’s formative years were spent watching his father, Mike, as offensive coordinator in San Francisco battling the Cowboys in three straight NFC title games.
After the rivalry went dormant for more than a quarter-century as the proud franchises rarely enjoyed success at the same time, it is having a rebirth with San Francisco set to take on Dallas for the second straight postseason when they meet Sunday in the divisional round.
“That’s how rivalries happen,” Shanahan said Wednesday. “You guys knew it from the ’80s when it started out. I remember so much from my childhood from sixth grade to ninth grade, because I was here ‘92 to ’94, so it was the biggest rivalry in football to me growing up. Then usually that goes away when you don’t meet in the playoffs a bunch and we had a big game last year, we have a big game this year, so the more you do that, the bigger it gets again.”
This will be the ninth time these franchises have met in the postseason, tied for the most of any matchup in the Super Bowl era with San Francisco against Green Bay and Dallas against the Rams.
But with six of the previous matchups coming in the conference title game, few rivalries have had as many big games or star players such as Roger Staubach, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Steve Young, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin.
The 49ers-Cowboys playoff history is a rich one from back-to-back conference title games in the early 1970s, the iconic “Catch” in the 1981 season and then the heated rivalry in the 1990s when the Cowboys won the first two meetings on the way to Super Bowl titles and then the Niners took the third game.
“None of us were around for that,” Niners fullback Kyle Juszczyk said. “So the rivalry is really what we’ve done recently. We played them last year in the playoffs. I think that is more of our fuel as opposed to those other games.”
The series took a long playoff break before resuming in the wild-card round last year when the 49ers held off the Cowboys 23-17. The game ended in dramatic fashion with Dak Prescott scrambling to the San Francisco 24 in the closing seconds.
Dallas scrambled to get to the line and waited for the officials to set the ball. Prescott then spiked the ball in hopes of getting one more play off but the clock ran out.
Here’s a look at the history of the playoff rivalry.
AMERICA’S TEAM
The teams squared off in the first three years after the merger with the Cowboys beating the Niners for the NFC title game in 1970 and ’71 and again the next year to help launch their status as “America’s Team.”
In the first meeting at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, Dallas used 143 yards rushing and a TD from Duane Thomas and two interceptions of John Brodie to win 17-10.
Dallas’ defense dominated again the next year with three more interceptions of Brodie in a 14-3 win that led the Cowboys to their first Super Bowl title.
The next meeting in the divisional round at Candlestick Park helped Staubach earn the moniker of “Captain Comeback.”
Staubach entered the game in the fourth quarter with Dallas down 28-13 and led the team on three scoring drives. He threw a 20-yard TD pass to Billy Parks with 1:20 left to cut the deficit to 28-23. After a successful onside kick, the Cowboys won it on a 10-yard TD pass from Staubach to Ron Sellers with 52 seconds left.
THE CATCH
The Niners fell off after that three-year run, but got their revenge with a late-game comeback of their own to launch a dynasty in the 1981 NFC championship game.
San Francisco took over at its 11 with 4:54 to play trailing 27-21 when Montana took over. He picked apart Dallas’ Doomsday Defense with a quintessential West Coast offense drive.
Then the Niners faced a third-and-4 at the Dallas 6 with less than a minute to play when Bill Walsh called “Sprint Right Option.” Montana rolled right and couldn’t find an open receiver immediately. Then with Ed “Too Tall” Jones and the Dallas defense closing in, Montana launched a high pass that seemed headed out of the end zone.
But Dwight Clark leaped over Everson Walls in the back of the end zone and came down with “The Catch” to give San Francisco a 28-27 lead.
The win was sealed when Danny White lost a fumble and San Francisco won its first of five Super Bowl titles in a 14-year span two weeks later.
“Start of a dynasty,” former 49ers president Carmen Policy said. “I don’t let myself go down the road of what would have happened if he doesn’t make that catch.”
HOW ‘BOUT THEM COWBOYS
While the Niners dynasty was launched with that win, it was the start of Dallas’ demise under coach Tom Landry. The Cowboys bottomed out with a one-win season in Jimmy Johnson’s first year in 1989 before beginning a steady rise.
That helped lead to the Cowboys making it to the 1992 NFC title game in San Francisco against a stacked Niners team led by Steve Young and Jerry Rice.
But the young Cowboys didn’t flinch, getting two TDs from Smith to build a 24-20 lead and then Aikman helped seal it with a 70-yard pass to Alvin Harper to set up another TD.
The rematch the next season wasn’t nearly as tight with the Cowboys building a 28-7 halftime lead on the way to a 38-21 win after Johnson guaranteed victory earlier in the week. Johnson punctuated both wins with his “How ’bout them Cowboys!” proclamation in the victorious locker room.
“I’ve been talking all week,” Johnson told his team. “If you’re gonna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk. Thanks to you guys, y’all did the walkin.”

YOUNG’S BREAKTHROUGH
After those two losses raised questions if Young would ever win the “big one,” the game the next year helped establish him as one of the greats.
Eric Davis got it started with a pick-6 on the opening possession. Two more turnovers helped San Francisco break out to a 21-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
“Spotting them a 21-point lead was like spotting Carl Lewis 20 yards in a 100-yard dash,” Smith said.
Young did the rest with two TD passes and a TD run and went on to win Super Bowl MVP two weeks later.
“To answer that pressure is one of the great feelings in sports,” he said after that win over Dallas. | https://www.kron4.com/sports/cowboys-49ers-rivalry-set-for-record-tying-9th-playoff-game/ | 2023-01-19 18:10:58 | 1 | https://www.kron4.com/sports/cowboys-49ers-rivalry-set-for-record-tying-9th-playoff-game/ |
AUSTIN (Nexstar)— The race for lieutenant governor is one of the top races we’re watching in the November 2022 election.
Dan Patrick and Mike Collier are running against each other for the second time.
We’ve seen their political ads all over TV for weeks now. But who are these two candidates? This matters, because whoever wins will have a huge influence over Texas’ legislative policies, and outlining the state’s budget.
It’s a rematch of the closely contested 2018 election. Collier—the Democratic candidate—lost to Republican incumbent Patrick by just five points.
Collier has campaigned almost nonstop for the last three years, focusing on public education, fixing the power grid, and criminal justice reform.
“As I drive around the state and talk to people, are we better off than we were four years ago or eight years ago with Dan Patrick, as Lt. Governor? The answer is absolutely no,” Collier said. “We have a grid that doesn’t work…property taxes that are exploding, public education that’s underfunded. 65-70 percent of teachers are thinking about doing something else.”
Patrick has run most of his campaign on property tax relief, securing the border, giving parents a choice in their kids’ education and raising teacher pay.
“Under my leadership, we have put more money into public education than any lieutenant governor in history,” Patrick said. “The other side does not line up with the values of West Texas, Central Texas and rural Texas.”
Both are confident in their ability to win.
Patrick did not grant our request for a one-on-one interview for this story. We used quotes from an interview he did with our sister station in Lubbock.
School safety is top of mind for both candidates after Uvalde. Patrick is honing in on the importance of securing campuses, while Collier points to gun safety policies. | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/texas-politics/why-you-should-care-about-texas-lt-governor-race/ | 2022-10-23 21:26:52 | 1 | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/texas-politics/why-you-should-care-about-texas-lt-governor-race/ |
Tony Boselli looked out at all the teal-colored jerseys in the crowd and screamed: “Duuuuval!”
Finally, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Boselli, the first pick in Jaguars history, was among eight members of the Class of 2022 enshrined Saturday at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
“I thank God for football and I thank God for the people of Jacksonville,” Boselli said before shouting the fans’ rallying cry, the name of their county.
The Jaguars played the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL preseason opener Thursday night, so No. 71 Boselli jerseys filled the seats.
A five-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro left tackle in seven seasons in Jacksonville, Boselli saw his career cut short by injuries. But his dominant performance earned him a gold jacket.
“It’s a profound honor,” Boselli said.

In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia
Linebacker Sam Mills, defensive back LeRoy Butler, defensive linemen Bryant Young and Richard Seymour, wide receiver Cliff Branch, coach Dick Vermeil and longtime head of officiating Art McNally joined Boselli in a class of guys who waited several years — some decades — to get the call.
Young delivered the most emotional speech when he broke down honoring his son, Colby, who died of pediatric cancer at age 15 in 2016.
“We assured Colby we would keep his memory alive and we would continue speaking his name,” Young said. “Colby, you live long in our hearts.”
Young, who excelled at defensive tackle in an era filled with talented players at the position, had 89 1/2 sacks and earned four Pro Bowl selections in a 14-year career spent entirely with the San Francisco 49ers.
Vermeil gave the longest speech, blowing past the 8-minute limit by 15. The former Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs coach seemed to thank everyone who helped him reach the stage.
He credited players for his success and specifically pointed out fellow Hall of Famers Kurt Warner and Isaac Bruce, who were on Vermeil’s “Greatest Show on Turf” Super Bowl championship team in St. Louis.
“Gosh darn, I just wish I had time to go through everyone,” Vermeil said.
And then he did, anyway.
Vermeil wrapped up the ceremonies. Butler kicked everything off.
The four-time All-Pro safety leaped in with the same enthusiasm he celebrated big plays at Lambeau Field.
“DJ Khaled said it best: ‘God did,‘” Butler began, referencing the song. “When you play for the Green Bay Packers, a lot of doors open up. When you win a Super Bowl, more doors open up. When you’re picked for the Hall of Fame, football heaven opens up. It’s rare company.”
Butler drew cheers from Jaguars fans in attendance to see Boselli’s induction when he mentioned growing up in Jacksonville.
“Thank you, Duval,” Butler said. “My mom, growing up in poverty, she made us think rich every day because it’s not about what you have on or what you have, it’s how you act.”
Butler helped restore Green Bay’s glory days during a 12-year career. His versatility as a safety set the standard for a new wave at the position and earned him a spot on the league’s All-Decade team of the 1990s.
Butler originated the “Lambeau Leap” and had a key sack in Green Bay’s Super Bowl victory over New England. He fell just short of becoming the first player in league history to finish his career with 40 interceptions and 20 sacks.
Mills, the 5-foot-9 linebacker nicknamed “Field Mouse” during his 12-year career with the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, and Branch were inducted posthumously. An inspirational figure, Mills overcame tremendous odds to even reach the NFL.
Mills played Division III college football and was not drafted. He was cut by the Cleveland Browns and Toronto Argonauts of the CFL and began his professional career with the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars. Jim Mora, who coached the Stars, brought him to New Orleans in 1986 and Mills never looked back.
“He was told he wasn’t good enough to play college football or big enough to play professional football and at the age of 27, he wasn’t young enough to play in the NFL and yet here we are today celebrating,” said Melanie Mills, Sam’s widow.
Mills became an assistant coach with the Panthers after his retirement. He was diagnosed with intestinal cancer before the 2003 season but kept coaching during his treatment and made what is known as his “Keep pounding” speech on the eve of the club’s Super Bowl matchup with New England at the end of that season.
Mills died in April 2005 at age 45. His “Keep pounding” remains the Panthers’ tag line.
Branch, who died just over three years at age 71 of natural causes, was one of the best deep threats of his era with some of his biggest performances coming on the game’s biggest stages, helping the Raiders win three Super Bowls.
Branch made the first of his three straight All-Pro teams in his first season as a starter in 1974 and scored 67 touchdowns through the air.
“Clifford was delayed. He was not denied,” said his sister and presenter, Elaine Anderson.
In a year with no first-ballot candidates, the inductees endured long waits to make the Hall.
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour didn’t wait too long to taste success in the NFL. He was part of three Super Bowl championship teams in his first four seasons with the New England Patriots.
Seymour pointed out the defensive stalwarts on those teams but didn’t mention Tom Brady by name.
“We had a young quarterback, but we made it work,” Seymour said, drawing chuckles from the crowd.
Seymour had 57 1/2 career sacks in 12 seasons, the first eight in New England before finishing his career with the Oakland Raiders.
“I’m overwhelmed with humility because it’s not about what this says about me but what it says about we and what we can do together,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed with gratitude because I didn’t get here alone. None of us did. None of us could have.”
The 42-year-old Seymour choked up thanking his wife, Tanya.
“Football is what I do, but family is who I am,” he said. “Thank you for everything you added to my life. This day belongs to my family. Scripture teaches your riches are in your family.”
Seymour called his three children his “greatest joy.”
“Of everything I accomplished, there’s no greater honor than being your dad,” he said.
Seymour praised Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former Raiders owner Al Davis and his son, Mark Davis.
He credited his success to the lessons he learned from Patriots coach Bill Belichick: work hard, be meticulous in your preparation, support your teammates and respect your opponents.
“This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Coach Belichick,” Seymour said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania's top-ranking state elections official said Tuesday a new U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding how rules for the state's mail-in ballots had been applied in a county judge election doesn't change her agency's guidance about counting them.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman said county elections officials should count mail-in votes that arrive in exterior envelopes with inaccurate or nonexistent handwritten dates, despite a requirement in state law.
The U.S. Supreme Court earlier Tuesday had declared as moot a decision in May by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that had said mail-in ballots without a required date on the return envelope had to be counted in a 2021 Pennsylvania judge race.
Chapman issued a statement saying the high court decision did not affect a separate, previous ruling by state Commonwealth Court in favor of counting ballots without properly dated exterior envelopes.
The new decision, Chapman said, "provides no justification for counties to exclude ballots based on a minor omission, and we expect that counties will continue to comply with their obligation to count all legal votes.” Chapman works in the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat.
The Third Circuit had said state election law’s requirement of a date next to the voter’s signature on the outside of return envelopes was “immaterial.” That lower court had said it found no reason to refuse counting the ballots that were set aside in the Nov. 2, 2021, election for common pleas judge in Lehigh County.
Those votes were enough to propel the Democrat, Zac Cohen, to victory in the race. He has since been sworn in and the new U.S. Supreme Court decision is not expected to reverse the results of Cohen's election contest.
In the latest decision, the justices ruled 7-2 that the Third Circuit must “dismiss the case as moot.”
Joshua Voss, a lawyer who represents the losing judicial candidate in the Lehigh County race, Republican David Ritter, said in a phone call Tuesday he believes the effect of the new high court ruling is that state law goes back to where it had been.
“The Department of State certainly should update their guidance,” Voss said. “But at the end of the day, elections are administered by counties and counties will need to assess what the state of the law was.”
Adam Bonin, a lawyer for Cohen, said voters should not leave anything to chance.
“Voters should still be careful to follow all of the instructions,” Bonin said, including the use of a security envelope and signing and dating the exterior return envelope.
Voss had argued to the Supreme Court that the Third Circuit ruling was already being cited in other cases but should be declared moot.
He said it's possible that more litigation over the undated envelopes might occur if there is a close race in November and a candidate wants to seek a court review.
“I don't know about ‘likely’ because it would require a close race. So, possible? Yes. Likely? I don't know. Remember, these ballots made the difference in Ritter's race, which is why the case existed,” Voss said.
Pennsylvania allowed only limited use of absentee mail-in ballots until 2019, when a state law OK'd them for voters who did not otherwise qualify from a list of acceptable excuses.
A lawsuit by Republican lawmakers challenging the mail-in voting law is pending in state court, while in August the state Supreme Court upheld the law against a separate challenge.
More than 2.5 million Pennsylvanians voted by mail during 2020′s presidential election, most of them Democrats, out of 6.9 million total votes. Chapman said Tuesday that more than 1.1 million absentee and mail-in ballots have been requested for the fall General Election. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/politics/elections/us-justices-reverse-pennsylvania-mail-in-voting-law-decision-harrisburg/521-c533f198-369e-426e-bb96-5030e21c78f8 | 2022-10-11 20:56:04 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/politics/elections/us-justices-reverse-pennsylvania-mail-in-voting-law-decision-harrisburg/521-c533f198-369e-426e-bb96-5030e21c78f8 |
Mike Ross risked his own life to save a cat as Hurricane Ian battered Southwest Florida.
A video posted online shows Ross wading through the storm surge to get to the cat, which was perched atop an air conditioner near Bonita Beach.
The cat appeared to cling onto Ross as he carried it inside.
Speaking to The Washington Post, Ross said the cat "looks healthy" and will be staying with his family for the foreseeable future or until they find its owners.
Ross's girlfriend posted a video on Monday of the cat, which they renamed "Storm."
"It’s clear from her stealth mode behavior she is still very scared/traumatized, but she’s starting to come around," she said.
Ross sold The Post that he has lived in Florida his entire life and Hurricane Ian caused the most destruction he's seen.
He added that his house was badly damaged in the storm. | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/man-caring-for-cat-he-rescued-during-hurricane-ian | 2022-10-03 17:52:22 | 1 | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/man-caring-for-cat-he-rescued-during-hurricane-ian |

Former President Donald Trump says he's testifying Wednesday in NY investigation
Video above: No 'heads up' about the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search, White House says
Former President Donald Trump will be questioned under oath Wednesday in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his dealings as a real estate mogul, he confirmed in a post on his Truth Social account.
Trump’s testimony comes amid a flurry of legal activity surrounding him, taking place just days after FBI agents searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as part of an unrelated federal probe into whether he took classified records when he left the White House.
The New York civil investigation, led by Attorney General Letitia James, involves allegations that Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, misstated the value of prized assets like golf courses and skyscrapers, misleading lenders and tax authorities.
“In New York City tonight. Seeing racist N.Y.S. Attorney General tomorrow, for a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, invoking his oft-repeated claims about James, who is Black, and the investigation.
“My great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides," Trump added. "Banana Republic!”
Messages seeking comment were left with James’ office and with Trump’s lawyer.
Trump’s testimony is happening at a critical point in James’ investigation, midway through a pivotal week in his post-presidency.
In May, James' office said that it was nearing the end of its probe and that investigators had amassed substantial evidence that could support legal action, such as a lawsuit, against Trump, his company or both.
The Republican billionaire’s deposition — a legal term for sworn testimony that’s not given in court — is one of the few remaining missing pieces, the attorney general’s office said.
Two of Trump’s adult children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, testified in the investigation in recent days, two people familiar with the matter said. The people were not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity.
The Trumps’ testimony had initially been planned for last month but was delayed after the July 14 death of the former president’s ex-wife, Ivana Trump, the mother of Ivanka, Donald Jr. and another son, Eric Trump, who sat for a deposition in James’ investigation in 2020.
On Friday, the Trump Organization and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, will be in court seeking dismissal of tax fraud charges brought against them last year in the Manhattan district attorney’s parallel criminal probe.
James, a Democrat, has said in court filings that her office has uncovered “significant” evidence that Trump’s company “used fraudulent or misleading asset valuations to obtain a host of economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions.”
James alleges the Trump Organization exaggerated the value of its holdings to impress lenders or misstated what land was worth to slash its tax burden, pointing to annual financial statements given to banks to secure favorable loan terms and to financial magazines to justify Trump’s place among the world’s billionaires.
The company even exaggerated the size of Trump’s Manhattan penthouse, saying it was nearly three times its actual size — a difference in value of about $200 million, James’ office said.
Trump has denied the allegations, explaining that seeking the best valuations is a common practice in the real estate industry. He says James’ investigation is part of a politically motivated “witch hunt” and that her office is “doing everything within their corrupt discretion to interfere with my business relationships, and with the political process.”
“THERE IS NO CASE!” Trump said in a February statement, after Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that James’ office had “the clear right” to question Trump and other principals in his company.
While James has explored suing Trump or his company, the Manhattan district attorney’s office has long pursued a parallel criminal investigation.
That probe had appeared to be progressing toward a possible criminal indictment, but slowed after a new district attorney, Alvin Bragg, took office in January.
A grand jury that had been hearing evidence disbanded. The top prosecutor who had been handling the probe resigned after Bragg raised questions internally about the viability of the case.
Bragg has said his investigation is continuing, which means that Trump could invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and decline to answer questions from James’ investigators.
According to the subpoena issued by James’ office, Trump was to appear in person at the attorney general’s office, located in a Manhattan office tower that has doubled as the fictional conglomerate Waystar Royco’s headquarters on HBO’s “Succession.”
As vociferous as Trump has been in defending himself in written statements and on the rally stage, legal experts say the same strategy could backfire in a deposition setting because anything he says could potentially be used against him or his company in the criminal investigation. No former president has even been charged with a crime.
In fighting to block the subpoenas, lawyers for the Trumps argued New York authorities were using the civil investigation to get information for the criminal probe and that the depositions were a ploy to avoid calling them before a criminal grand jury, where state law requires they be given immunity.
Last summer, spurred by evidence uncovered by James’ office, Manhattan prosecutors filed charges against Weisselberg and the Trump Organization. Prosecutors said Weisselberg collected more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation.
Weisselberg and the company have pleaded not guilty.
Weisselberg and Eric Trump each invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 500 times when questioned by James’ lawyers during separate depositions in 2020, according to court papers.
The former president could choose to do the same, but it’s likely “he’ll claim lack of knowledge on many questions,” New York University law professor Stephen Gillers said.
That could be a successful strategy, since Trump is known as more of a “big-picture guy” Gillers said. “So he’ll answer the big-picture questions and those answers will be general enough to keep him out of trouble, or so his lawyers will hope.”
“On the other hand, his impetuosity makes him a lawyer’s nightmare and his overconfidence may lead him astray. Whoever questions him will encourage that,” the professor added.
Once her investigation wraps up, James could decide to bring a lawsuit and seek financial penalties against Trump or his company, or even a ban on them being involved in certain types of businesses.

DALLAS (AP) — Joe Pavelski made a quick impact in his return for the Dallas Stars, scoring two goals in the first period of their second-round playoff series against Seattle on Tuesday night after missing the final five games of the opening round while in concussion protocol.
Pavelski scored on a 25-foot wrister only 2 1/2 minutes into the game to put the Stars ahead 1-0 in Game 1. He scored on his first shot, on a pass from Mason Marchment. Max Domi got the secondary assist
After Seattle got even, Pavelski scored again, about 10 minutes after his first goal. The second one was from about the same distance with a redirect of Thomas Harley's shot.
The two goals extended Pavelski's record for U.S.-born players to 66 career playoff goals.
Pavelski was on the ice for the game's opening shift, though he wasn’t immediately inserted back on the top line. He was with Marchment and Domi, like he was when he went through a full practice Monday.
Tyler Seguin, who scored four power-play goals in the six-game series against Minnesota, stayed on the top line with Jason Robertson and NHL playoff scoring leader Roope Hintz. Seguin had moved up to that line after the 38-year-old Pavelski got hurt.
Pavelski had just cleared the puck midway through the second period of Game 1 in the opening series against Minnesota on April 17 when he took a big hit from defenseman Matt Dumba. Pavelski banged his head hard on the ice when he fell.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyryse, a transportation company building the future of general aviation, has appointed Will Fulton as Vice President of Product and Marketing. At Skyryse, Fulton will lead strategy, execution, and growth of its FlightOS product, which makes flying safer and more accessible. Fulton joins Skyryse from Airbus Helicopters where he served as Head of Marketing for North America.
Skyryse's mission is to transform aviation safety for all pilots and bring interoperability across aircraft platforms. FlightOS replaces the complex controls in a typical cockpit with touchscreens and a joystick, alongside fly-by-wire hardware and software that automates most actions. The technology removes many of the complexities of flying and safely manages the aircraft through emergencies and almost all weather conditions.
"We are on the cusp of generational transformation in transportation. Skyryse's technology is unlocking safer and more accessible flight, and Will's unique background as a military helicopter pilot, an aerospace engineer, and a leading aviation marketer will be instrumental to Skyryse's next phase of growth," said Dr. Mark Groden, Skyryse's founder and CEO. "Will's leadership will help drive the FlightOS product roadmap and deliver a drastic leap in aviation safety to more aircraft through its advanced automation and revolutionary user-friendly design."
A West Point graduate with a degree in Mechanical Aerospace Engineering, Fulton served in the U.S. Army for seven years as an Apache Longbow helicopter pilot. He subsequently joined Bell Helicopters, a global producer of military and commercial, vertical-lift aircraft, as an R&D Project Engineer while also receiving his MBA from Texas Christian University.
"Skyryse's world-class team has figured out how to make flying both safer and simpler," said Fulton. "The significance of that technological leap cannot be overstated. I'm excited to work alongside the incredible innovators at Skyryse to make safe, joyful flying a daily experience for aircraft operators."
Skyryse has tripled its headcount over the past year, which included hiring its first Chief Financial Officer and appointing a new Chief Operating Officer earlier this summer. To date, Skyryse has secured partnerships with numerous of the world's largest fixed wing and rotorcraft original equipment manufacturers, which collectively produce over half of the world's new general aviation aircraft. Most recently, the company has partnered with Air Methods, the leading American air medical transport company, to retrofit more than 400 single-engine helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft in the Air Methods fleet with FlightOS.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, Skyryse is a transportation technology company built by transportation experts from Airbus, Boeing, Ford, General Atomics, JetBlue, Moog, SpaceX, Tesla, Uber, the U.S. Military and Zoox.

WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Young climate activists from African nations have high demands but low expectations for the U.N. climate conference which begins Sunday in the Egyptian coastal resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Observers and organizers of the COP27 summit have made much of its location, branding the conference as an “African COP” where the positions of African countries on issues like finance for adapting to climate change or moving to renewable energy sources will be central to the talks.
Activists hope that’s true.
“For COP27 to be the ‘African COP’, the needs, voices, and priorities of the African people need to be reflected in the outcome of the negotiations,” Kenyan climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti told The Associated Press. “COP27 is a chance to bring justice to the most impacted countries through global solidarity and cooperation.”
Analysts point to sticking points between richer and poorer nations, such as questions around whether vulnerable countries should receive compensation for climate-related catastrophes, known as “loss and damage” in climate negotiations, as hindering progress at previous summits.
Some youth activists, like Wathuti, say that the continent should be looking to rich nations for massive emissions cuts and for compensation for loss and damage caused by climate catastrophes. Africa is responsible for only 3% to 4% of global emissions despite having 17% of the world’s population but it is more vulnerable than most places as many people, especially those outside urban centers, are less able to adapt.
“Financial delivery is fundamental to enable the development of Africa,” Wathuti said. “The African population is growing rapidly and securing energy for people will be crucial to combat poverty and create opportunities for a higher quality of life.”
Others say African countries need to look inward as developed nations have failed to keep their promises.
Hounaidat Abdouroihamane, an activist from the Comoros Islands said Africa should stop relying on developed countries for funding.
“Why should we beg the polluters for answers and money when we know so well they will not provide it and if they do, it will be in the form of a loan?” asked Abdouroihamane, adding the continent should “put in adaptation measures that are easy and less costly to implement” such as better management of water resources and reforesting and restoring land.
Developed nations have already failed to fulfill pledges on climate change funding, including a $100 billion-a-year pledge that is two years past its deadline and hasn’t yet been fulfilled.
Wathuti said that the negotiations should be about “accountability” and hoped the conference will address the “delivery of promises made but not met.”
Ugandan activist Vanessa Nakate agreed that financing from developed countries was central for the continent to achieve its aims.
“The $100 billion promised is no longer enough. There needs to be additional finance,” Nakate told the AP, adding there needs to be a separate fund for loss and damage.
116 million people in Africa’s coastal states and islands face sea-level risks and by 2050 African nations are projected to spend $50 billion annually on climate-related impacts, the U.N. weather agency said.
“We know what needs to be done about climate change. But what we lack is political will to actually do something,” said Nakate, adding that vulnerable communities direly need funds to help prepare for climate-related disasters.
Wathuti, Nakate and Abdouroihamane are part of a growing number of young people in Africa and around the world who have been running grassroots projects in their respective countries and call on national and international governments to do more on climate change and biodiversity loss. Abdouroihamane is actively involved in waste management projects, Nakate spearheads the installation of clean cookstoves and solar panels in schools in her native Uganda, and Wathuti leads a forest restoration project in Kenya.
Although activists have long been part of the conversation, many feel that they are not listened to. Increasingly, climate campaigners particularly in Europe have started taking drastic measures to make their arguments heard, including throwing food at famous paintings or gluing themselves to roads to a mixed reception.
“There are efforts to increase youth participation, but more often than not, young people are put in meetings to fill a seat,” Wathuti said. “For youth participation to be truly meaningful, young people need support to navigate the intricate spaces of climate negotiations.”
She added: “Young people have not caused the situation we are in, but young people are the solution. That is why participation of youth is key in high level forums like COP27.”

When fighting broke out on April 15 in Sudan's capital between the country's armed forces and tens of thousands of militia fighters loyal to a rival general, Khartoum's residents had to make a quick and painful choice: Stay or leave?
For those who chose to leave Sudan, most headed north and crossed into Egypt. For those holding foreign passports, many headed east to Port Sudan, where naval vessels carried people across the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia. Thousands of others have crossed into Chad, South Sudan and other neighboring African countries. In total, more than 350,000 people have fled Sudan since the fighting began around six weeks ago.
Lives changed overnight. There was no time to obtain passports for newborns or renew expired passports. There was no time to request visas or pick up passports from embassies that abruptly shuttered and airlifted diplomats out. There was no time to withdraw money from the bank. There was no time to wait for parents, siblings, nephews and nieces to sort their affairs.
Over the course of two weeks in late April and May, NPR's Dubai-based correspondent Aya Batrawy traveled to four cities where people from Sudan have sought safety and refuge. Here are brief dispatches from each.
Port Sudan, Sudan
Soon after fighting broke out in Khartoum, the city of Port Sudan — more than 500 miles away — was thronged by thousands of people trying to leave the country. Most who took this route out were foreigners or Sudanese with second passports from other countries. (Port Sudan is now also a hub for humanitarian aid flights).
From there, it's a roughly 12-hour journey across the Red Sea to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. To observe the evacuation effort of foreigners from Sudan, I made the round-trip journey, starting in Saudi Arabia, aboard a Saudi naval vessel called the Al-Jubail.
We approached Port Sudan around midnight in a tugboat since the warship was too big to dock.
At the port, it was quiet. Families — women and children — waited patiently in line, exhausted and dragging whatever luggage and personal items they could fit in a suitcase and handbags. Sudanese soldiers patrolled the port, which was well-lit, unlike other parts of the country facing electricity cuts.
A Saudi officer, seated on a plastic chair on the sidewalk, checked people's passports against a piece of paper bearing a handwritten list of names. Another Saudi officer briskly searched people's bags. Saudi commandos were on-hand to help children, people with disabilities and seniors with their footing as they carried their luggage onto tugboats.
U.S. Embassy officials stood off to the side, monitoring the evacuation of around 200 Americans departing that night, many of them Sudanese dual nationals. Other Sudanese families, some with Saudi nationality, and a handful of Chinese workers were also among the evacuees on this night.
Sulafa Abdelrahman, with her daughter and three grandchildren, was heading toward a tugboat to take them to a Saudi warship waiting in the distance. It was one of two Saudi naval vessels evacuating people that evening.
Tired but smiling, Abdelrahman said: "We are hopeful, God willing."
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Saudi ships and military flights have evacuated around 8,500 people from Port Sudan.
Female Saudi officers handed out flowers to people and bags of candy to children as they disembarked from the ships and boarded buses in Jeddah.
For the kingdom, this was an opportunity to showcase to the media gathered at the ports Saudi Arabia's leading role in evacuation efforts — and its foreign policy approach as a mediator in Sudan and beyond.
Among the evacuees there is grief, as well as relief at being in Saudi Arabia. Many have left behind their homes, family and friends, not knowing if they will ever return or see them again.
"It's pretty tough," says Mohammed Kodak, a Sudanese-British father of two at the Jeddah port. "Even saying goodbye to people is pretty tough. I left both my mother and father, and my brother."
Seated a few rows behind him on a bus at the port is Ghalia Satti. Tears stream down her face. The mother of four had been living in Sudan for over a decade after moving there from the U.S.
Now, she's returning to the U.S. with her teenagers. They'll stay with her sister. She's in shock at how quickly her life has unraveled.
"Thank God we are safe, but we are scared that the people that we love, we left them there, and we don't know if we can meet them again or not," she says, referring to her husband and father.
This route to leave Sudan was not open to all, though. Saudi Arabia offered evacuees short-term visas and does not host refugees. Most Sudanese who do not carry foreign passports have had to make harder journeys across borders — like Egypt's.
Aswan, Egypt
This ancient city along the Nile is a popular tourist destination, but it's also become one of the first stops in Egypt for thousands of Sudanese fleeing the conflict since mid-April.
Ibrahim Mudasir, whose father is from Sudan and mother is Egyptian, came to Aswan from Cairo to help people arriving from Sudan procure train and bus tickets, and local SIM cards.
"When things happen in Sudan, it touches Egypt because of Sudan's proximity to Egypt's strategic red lines," he said, referring to the national security risks posed to Egypt by instability in Sudan.
"It's blood that flows between the two countries, not just the Nile River," he said, referring to shared Nubian tribal links.
In towns and villages across the province of Aswan, homes have domed roofs and walls are painted in colorful patterns characteristic of Nubian culture. Sudanese music, with its blend of African drum beats and soulful Arabic singing, plays loudly on Nile boats.
Volunteers lead much of the effort to help Sudanese in Aswan. Sameh Hassan, a travel operator living in the beach town of Sharm el-Sheikh, came to Aswan to help with things big and small — like passing out water bottles and helping people find apartments to rent. He says he felt a need to help in any way he could because Egypt and Sudan are so close, both geographically as well as culturally.
At the sparse Kar Kar rest stop in Aswan, dozens of Sudanese buses are parked. It's as far as they're allowed to go after crossing into Egypt.
For the weary Sudanese families who've reached Kar Kar, it's often after a long and difficult journey that's included dodging shelling and gunfire in Khartoum's suburbs, passing through multiple army and paramilitary checkpoints and spending days waiting in Sudan at the border, with few services.
Some of the evacuees have arrived with wounds from the fighting. Local authorities say Egypt is providing free hospital care in Aswan to Sudanese in need, for now.
At Kar Kar, volunteers with local charities pass out hot meals of Egyptian dishes like koshary, packed with rice, pasta and lentils. They've also installed showers in the Kar Kar bathrooms, brought mobile medical clinics to offer checkups and expanded snack and juice stands.
The welcome at Kar Kar, however, does not extend to allowing Sudanese to camp out here. It's each person's responsibility to find their own accommodation in Egypt.
Cairo, Egypt
Egypt's relative proximity to Khartoum compared to South Sudan, Chad and other border countries has made the country the top destination for Sudanese fleeing the conflict. According to Egypt's Foreign Ministry and the United Nations, more than 150,000 people have crossed into Egypt from Sudan since the fighting began, though there are reportedly some visa restrictions on Sudanese males of a certain age.
Egypt is already home to some 4 million Sudanese migrants, according to the International Organization of Migration.
Among the newcomers is Sheza Breima, who fled with her husband, mother, sister and newborn baby, Rafid. It took them six days, waiting at the border, before they were authorized to enter Egypt because her son, who was just a week old when the fighting broke out, didn't yet have a passport.
With no time to withdraw cash from the bank, she had to sell some of her gold jewelry to make the journey into Egypt. The family is now in a rented apartment in Cairo, where they watch Arabic news channels broadcasting images of the fighting back home.
Before the fighting, Breima was a trauma counselor with the United Nations, working with displaced people in Sudan. The idea that she may now be a refugee herself and may need support buying diapers and formula for her baby is hard to comprehend, she says.
"I mean, I'm not that person yet. I mean, let me cry if I think about it," she says.
There are others in need of much more. A privately run Sudanese school in a rundown building in a poor neighborhood of Cairo is serving as a temporary shelter for a handful of migrants from Sudan. There are a few mattresses on the ground in what are normally classrooms.
I meet a family of five, the youngest child still in diapers. The father, Anwar Dafala, tells me he has no income. He was earning by the day in Sudan. He shows me a doctor's report from a clinic in Cairo that says he needs an MRI for swelling in his stomach that's made him unable to stand on his feet for very long. He can't afford the scan.
He can apply and register as a refugee with the U.N. refugee agency and get some assistance. But most Sudanese in Egypt are not officially registered as refugees and enter on visitor visas that can be extended.
They've entered a country in the midst of an economic crisis, with food inflation around 60%. The fridge in this school is bare: no eggs, no dairy, no meats. Families staying here make do with water, bread and fava beans delivered by Egyptian volunteers.
For families like Dafala's, fleeing Sudan and reaching Cairo marks the start of a new set of challenges and uncertainties.

WASHINGTON — The COVID-19 pandemic spared no state or region as it caused historic learning setbacks for America’s children, erasing decades of academic progress and widening racial disparities, according to results of a national test that provide the sharpest look yet at the scale of the crisis.
Across the country, math scores saw their largest decreases ever. Reading scores dropped to 1992 levels. Nearly four in 10 eighth graders failed to grasp basic math concepts. Not a single state saw a notable improvement in their average test scores, with some simply treading water at best.
Those are the findings from the National Assessment of Educational Progress — known as the “nation’s report card” — which tested hundreds of thousands of fourth and eighth graders across the country this year. It was the first time the test had been given since 2019, and it’s seen as the first nationally representative study of the pandemic’s impact on learning.
“It is a serious wakeup call for us all,” Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, a branch of the Education Department, said in an interview. “In NAEP, when we experience a 1- or 2-point decline, we’re talking about it as a significant impact on a student’s achievement. In math, we experienced an 8-point decline — historic for this assessment.”
Researchers usually think of a 10-point gain or drop as equivalent to roughly a year of learning.
It’s no surprise that children are behind. The pandemic upended every facet of life and left millions learning from home for months or more. The results released Monday reveal the depth of those setbacks, and the size of the challenge facing schools as they help students catch up.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said it’s a sign that schools need to redouble their efforts, using billions of dollars that Congress gave schools to help students recover.
“Let me be very clear: these results are not acceptable,” Cardona said.
The NAEP test is typically given every two years. It was taken between January and March by a sample of students in every state, along with 26 of the nation’s largest school districts. Scores had been stalling even before the pandemic, but the new results show decreases on a scale not seen before.
In both math and reading, students scored lower than those tested in 2019. But while reading scores dipped, math scores plummeted by the largest margins in the history of the NAEP test, which began in 1969.
Math scores were worst among eighth graders, with 38% earning scores deemed “below basic” — a cutoff that measures, for example, whether students can find the third angle of a triangle if they’re given the other two. That’s worse than 2019, when 31% of eighth graders scored below that level.
No part of the country was exempt. Every region saw test scores slide, and every state saw declines in at least one subject.
Several major districts saw test scores fall by more than 10 points. Cleveland saw the largest single drop, falling 16 points in fourth-grade reading, along with a 15-point decline in fourth-grade math. Baltimore and Tennessee’s Shelby County also saw precipitous declines.
“This is more confirmation that the pandemic hit us really hard,” said Eric Gordon, chief executive for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. To help students recover, the school system has beefed up summer school and added after-school tutoring.
“I’m not concerned that they can’t or won’t recover,” Gordon said. “I’m concerned that the country won’t stay focused on getting kids caught up.”
The results show a reversal of progress on math scores, which had made big gains since the 1990s. Reading, by contrast, had changed little in recent decades, so even this year’s relatively small decreases put the averages back to where they were in 1992.
Most concerning, however, are the gaps between students.
Confirming what many had feared, racial inequities appear to have widened during the pandemic. In fourth grade, Black and Hispanic students saw bigger decreases than white students, widening gaps that have persisted for decades.
Inequities were also reflected in a growing gap between higher and lower performing students. In math and reading, scores fell most sharply among the lowest performing students, creating a widening chasm between struggling students and the rest of their peers.
Surveys done as part of this year’s test illustrate the divide.
When schools shifted to remote learning, higher performing students were far more likely to have reliable access to quiet spaces, computers and help from their teachers, the survey found.
The results make clear that schools must address the “long-standing and systemic shortcomings of our education system,” said Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of Los Angeles schools and a member of the National Assessment Governing Board, which sets the policies for the test.
“While the pandemic was a blow to schools and communities, we cannot use it as an excuse,” he said. “We have to stay committed to high standards and expectations and help every child succeed.”
Other recent studies have found that students who spent longer periods learning online suffered greater setbacks. But the NAEP results show no clear connection. Areas that returned to the classroom quickly still saw significant declines, and cities — which were more likely to stay remote longer — actually saw milder decreases than suburban districts, according to the results.
Los Angeles can claim one of the few bright spots in the results. The nation’s second-largest school district saw eighth-grade reading scores increase by 9 points, the only significant uptick in any district. For other districts, it was a feat just to hold even, as achieved by Dallas and Florida’s Hillsborough County.
Testing critics caution against putting too much stock in exams like NAEP, but there’s no doubt that the skills it aims to measure are critical. Students who take longer to master reading are more likely to drop out and end up in the criminal justice system, research has found. And eighth grade is seen as a pivotal time to develop skills for math, science and technology careers.
For Carr, the results raise new questions about what will happen to students who appear to be far behind in attaining those skills.
“We want our students to be prepared globally for STEM careers, science and technology and engineering,” she said. “This puts all of that at risk. We have to do a reset. This is a very serious issue, and it’s not going to go away on its own.” | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/test-scores-covid-setbacks/507-78dfac59-2c0b-4d4a-9126-0a363fb0ba37 | 2022-10-24 14:13:06 | 1 | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/test-scores-covid-setbacks/507-78dfac59-2c0b-4d4a-9126-0a363fb0ba37 |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – An investigation into deaths in jails and prisons has lawmakers calling for more transparency and accountability.
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., say in a new report that the Department of Justice failed to count and report the deaths of nearly 1,000 people in prisons and jails in 2021. They held a hearing on Tuesday to present their findings and hear from witnesses who have been impacted by those deaths.
Belinda Maley was one of the witnesses. She says her son Matthew died from heart problems after being in jail in Chatham County, Georgia.
“It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever had to endure and I don’t want anyone else to have to do that, to have to go through this,” Maley said.
Vanessa Fano shares that tragic connection with Maley, and also testified in front of lawmakers at the hearing. Her brother Jonathan died by suicide while he was in a Baton Rouge, Louisiana prison.
“People who are going into those prisons are coming out in caskets,” Fano said. “My brother needed support, needed medical aid, needed psychiatric care and he received none of those.”
Senators Johnson and Ossoff says the deaths are part of a problematic pattern of uncounted deaths.
“The American people deserve the truth here,” Johnson said.
Sen. Ossoff says the DOJ not accurately recording who is dying and how it’s happening makes it impossible to implement life-saving reforms.
“What the United States is allowing to happen on our watch in prisons, jails and detention centers nationwide is a moral disgrace,” Ossoff said.
While it’s too late for Jonathan and Matthew, their families want their stories to inspire change.
“Because your government is supposed to be watching for your best interests,” Maley said.
“Acknowledging that there are flaws and pushing for changes to occur so that those flaws don’t continue taking other lives,” Fano added. | https://www.wdtn.com/news/washington-dc/doj-didnt-count-hundreds-of-deaths-in-prisons-and-jails-new-report-says/ | 2022-09-20 23:05:16 | 0 | https://www.wdtn.com/news/washington-dc/doj-didnt-count-hundreds-of-deaths-in-prisons-and-jails-new-report-says/ |

Listen: There are a lot of Uncle Ruckus acolytes in the sunken place monastery, but almost none of them preach the shuck n’ jive ministry with as much zeal as Ruckus Rev. Jason Whitlock of the Church of Run n’ Tell Massa’ And Latter Day Sambos. (That’s probably not a real church.)
How is it that, when it comes to literally anything involving Black people, Whitlock manages to find the absolute worst possible take a person can find? (Only Candace Owens rivals him in that department. But even the tap-dancing queen of WAPlessness had the right take on Megan Thee Stallion that one time.)
Recently, Whitlock sat down with the Fox News’ grand wizard of white male grievances and weird M&M cartoon fetishes, Tucker Carlson, to express the most nonsensical, presumptuous, and, of course, anti-Black opinion on the death of Tyre Nichols. Somehow, Whitlock heard about a story in which five Black Memphis police officers allegedly beat a Black man to death while he called out for his mother—in an incident that was captured on video—and his reaction was to twist himself into a wannabe-white nationalist pretzel and blame Black-on-Black crime and single Black mothers for the incident.
“They don’t want us focused on reality,” Whitlock told his brother from another massa’. “Hey, if they want us to devote an hour of coverage to this and weekend coverage to this and they want to take us to a good place, I would examine the racial element of this. Because there is a racial element. And this is a story about young Black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way. Everybody involved in this, on the street level, was either 24 to 32 years old. Everybody, it was a group of young Black men, five-on-one. It looked like gang violence to me. It looked like what young Black men do when they’re supervised by a single Black woman, and that’s what they got going on in the Memphis Police Department.”
Ironically, Black people have been saying police represent the largest gang in America for decades now. Leave it to the Clayton Bigsby of Steven A. Smiths to present the sunken place upside-down version of the concept as an actual argument. Notice though, that Whitlock never had a smidgen of the same energy for the police officers who murdered and helped murder George Floyd, the white men who lynched Ahmaud Arbery, the white officers who beat the hell out of Rodney King, or the non-Black cops involved in the countless other cases of police brutality against Black people. Whitlock has never and will never challenge the culture of whiteness in any of these cases because that’s not his job. Whitlock’s purpose is to protect whiteness at all costs. And since those costs only really involve Whitlock going out of his way to throw Black people under the bus in front of largely white (supremacist) audiences, he probably thinks the price is pretty cheap.
The other question is—why does Whitlock hate Black women so much he’s just arbitrarily coming for single Black mothers who have nothing to do with the story, outside of joining non-single Black mothers in mourning Nichols and identifying with the excruciating pain his mother must be experiencing? How would Whitlock even know whether all the Black officers accused of killing Nichols were raised without fathers?
It’s almost as if Whitlock knew he finally came across a police brutality story that was so heinous even he couldn’t twist to blame the Black victim, but he wasn’t going to let that prevent him from conjuring an anti-Black culture narrative, even if it means throwing Black men in blue uniforms under the same bus he gleefully tosses us all under.
“They’ve elected—or put some Black woman in charge of the police force, and we’re getting the same kind of chaos and disunity and violence that we see in a lot of these cities that are run by single mothers,” Whitlock continued, in reference to Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis. “If we want to discuss the breakdown of family that leads to disrespect for authority, that causes you to resist the police and run from the police and not comply with the police, because you resist authority at all times, because there was no male authority in your home, let’s have that discussion.” (Oh, I guess Whitlock actually isn’t above blaming Nichols for his own death. Bringing Black mothers into it is just putting the icing on his MAGA-minstrel cake.)
“But that’s not where they want to take us. They want to take us down the path of saying, ‘You know what? This is Tucker Carlson’s fault. This is some random white—this is Donald Trump’s fault,” Whitlock continued despite the fact that no one blamed Nichols’ killing on Carlson, Trump or anyone else from his fantasy white nationalist football team. “It’s not. It’s the breakdown of family and the buying into all these left-wing things that have nothing to do with promoting family.” (imagine having this racist non-sequitur of a take while accusing the “left” of bringing up “things that have nothing to do” with other things.)
R&B singer Ciara tried to talk some sense into Whitlock, calling his remarks “irresponsible,” but she should have known the real-life version of Stephen from Django Unchained was just going to double down and erroneously blame Nichols’ death on “baby-mama culture” and accuse her of being in “denial” for, well, being rational.
Whitlock really is just the worst of sunken place Blacky-lackeys. I mean, we know all skin-folk ain’t kinfolk, but no other Black person goes this far out of their way to be an enemy to their own people like this. (Again, except maybe Candace. But that’s another story for another day.)

FOSHAN, China, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese property developer Country Garden (02007.HK) released its interim results for 2022 on August 30, 2022. Against the backdrop of profound changes in China's real estate sector and a cooling market, the developer continued leading the industry by showing resilience in its performance as a result of an improved balance sheet and abundant cash flow.
According to the report, Country Garden achieved contracted sales of approx.185.1 billion yuan (approx. US$25.9 billion) and contracted sales volume of approx. 23.48 million square meters during the first half of 2022, ranking the company first in the industry. Total payment collection reached 170.3 billion yuan (approx. US$23.8 billion), with a collection rate about 92%, having exceeded 90% for seven years in a row.
During the reporting period, Country Garden posted operating revenue of 162.36 billion yuan, gross profit of 17.21 billion yuan and core net profit of 4.91 billion yuan, which indicates a positive earnings despite the market slump and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, demonstrating the company's outstanding resilience.
Country Garden president Mo Bin said that in the first half of 2022, the firm further optimized its debt structure by using operating cash flow to pay back some high-cost, short-term financing, with a focus on ensuring a balance between cash flow, the balance sheet and profit.
At the end of the first half, Country Garden's net operating cash flow stood at 5.25 billion yuan with total loans outstanding having dropped to 293.68 billion yuan, down 7.6 percent from the end of last year. The gearing ratio was 48.1% at the end of the reporting period, having been maintained at less than 60% for several years. The rate is significantly lower than the country's gearing ratio threshold of less than 100% and well within the lower range for the industry. At the end of the reporting period, the company's available cash amounted to 147.98 billion yuan. Cash flow to short-term debt ratio stood at about 2x, with no burden on short-term debt repayment.
Country Garden has ensured timely delivery of projects while maintaining a sound financial position. According to available statistics, in the first half of this year, the developer completed the construction of and made available to the market more than 250,000 units (in 1,070 lots) in 214 cities throughout China, fully in line with what had been promised and far exceeding that of its peers. Management confirms that the firm plans to deliver 500,000 units during the second half of this year, roughly double that of the first half.

BERTHOLD, N.D. (KXNET) — A high school football player was seriously injured in a game and is now on the road to recovery.
At a normal Friday night football game, Berthold football player Martin Heberlie would experience something far more than normal.
On a kick return, Martin was going after the ball when he got hit in the chest.
“It was nothing I’ve ever experienced before, it was a crazy night, it was scary for all my coaches and teammates and my mom and my friends and it was crazy, it was hard to process all of this happening to me,” said Berthold Football Player, Martin Heberlie.
Martin would be escorted off the field in a stretcher, suffering from a severe spinal cord injury.
Doctors have given him a six to 12-month recovery time, but he is determined to be 100% sooner.
“I’ve been doing a great job with rehab and occupational therapy and just working hard and pushing through because that’s what I’ve been taught and learned how to do is to always work your butt off and achieve what you should be able to achieve and just put in enough effort as you can,” added Heberlie.
During his recovery and therapy, Martin received a personal message from a North Dakota football icon, Carson Wentz.
Words of encouragement from the professional athlete is just another spark of inspiration for this Berthold athlete.
“Heard about the injury man and I just wanted to say I’m sorry and just wanted to say that I’m praying for you and I know a lot of people are praying for you,” said NFL Quarterback, Carson Wentz
“I will be fighting just as hard for him and everyone else in my community and I’ve been using that as my motivation too and it’s just crazy and great and I’m so grateful that he was able to send that to me,” added Heberlie.
A tale of a true teammate and champion is defined by what they do off the field.
Martin has created a goals list to get him through his recovery and has since already crossed one off of his list, the goal was to hug his coach standing up. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/berthold-athlete-gets-inspiration-from-carson-wentz/ | 2022-09-14 23:42:44 | 0 | https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/berthold-athlete-gets-inspiration-from-carson-wentz/ |
The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein's estranged husband is drawing a line in the sand.
According to court documents obtained by E! News, Lenny Hochstein officially filed for divorce from Lisa on May 20, less than a week after he confirmed they were going their separate ways. The two were married for 12 years and have two kids, Logan, 6, and Elle, 2.
Lenny, 55, cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce, noting that his marriage to Lisa, 39, is "irretrievably broken, and there is no present hope for a meaningful reconciliation." The pair agreed to split "at least a month ago," per the filing.
The documents also show that Lenny requested he and Lisa both be granted "frequent and substantial time-sharing" of their children, along with his intention to pay spousal support as part of a prenuptial agreement the former couple signed before their 2009 wedding.
These details echo the statement Lenny shared with E! News on May 16. "Lisa and I are getting a divorce," the plastic surgeon said. "This is something we have been discussing for years but hoped to avoid it for the sake of our children."
Lenny continued, "Lisa and I have been living separate lives for months and I have been sleeping in a separate bedroom. We made the decision to get divorced last month."
In the same statement, Lenny also confirmed his relationship with model Katharina Mazepa, 26. The pair was spotted outside a Miami club on May 7 in a TikTok video.
"After the decision was made, I began seeing Katharina," his statement continued. "I was honest with Lisa about my intentions and she was aware of everything I was planning to do before I did anything. Our lawyers have been negotiating since we made the decision and we will be filing shortly once there is an agreement in place."
Lisa didn't appear to be on the same page, though. That same day, a spokesperson for the RHOM star exclusively told E! News, "With two young children involved, as a mom I'm going to focus all of my energy and time on them. I'm blindsided by his behavior and reckless handling of the situation."
Lisa has been open about her marital struggles on The Real Housewives of Miami. During the season four premiere, she revealed that after having trouble getting pregnant years before welcoming their two children, they almost got a divorce.
"It was devastating," she said. "During this separation, Lenny had this emotional affair with some two-dollar hoe."
The couple ultimately reconciled and appeared to be stronger than ever as recently as December 2021, when Lisa exclusively told E! News, "We've been together for 14 years, almost 15 years, and that's like a lifetime in Miami. Just like everyone else we go through issues, we've had our ups and downs. But we stuck by each other's side and we just never give up."
"I just feel like everyone thinks the grass is always greener [on the other side] and it's not," she continued. "You're going to have another set of problems with another person, so my philosophy is stick it out with the person that you love, the person that you created a family with, the person you have history with and make that your love story."
At the time, Lisa claimed she and Lenny were even open to having more children. "[I'd] love a big family, so we're definitely considering it, but at the same time we're very happy with our family of four right now."
The U.S. Sun was the first to report Lenny's filing.

Musk says he’s granting ‘amnesty’ to suspended Twitter accounts
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — New Twitter owner Elon Musk said Thursday that he is granting “amnesty” for suspended accounts, which online safety experts predict will spur a rise in harassment, hate speech and misinformation.
The billionaire’s announcement came after he asked in a poll posted to his timeline to vote on reinstatements for accounts that have not “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.” The yes vote was 72%.
“The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”
Musk used the same Latin phrase after posting a similar poll last weekend before reinstating the account of former President Donald Trump, which Twitter had banned for encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Trump has said he won’t return to Twitter but has not deleted his account.
Such online polls are anything but scientific and can easily be influenced by bots.
In the month since Musk took over Twitter, groups that monitor the platform for racist, anti-Semitic and other toxic speech say it’s been on the rise on the world’s de facto public square. That has included a surge in racist abuse of World Cup soccer players that Twitter is allegedly failing to act on.
The uptick in harmful content is in large part due to the disorder following Musk’s decision to lay off half the company’s 7,500-person workforce, fire top executives, and then institute a series of ultimatums that prompted hundreds more to quit. Also let go were an untold number of contractors responsible for content moderation. Among those resigning over a lack of faith in Musk’s willingness to keep Twitter from devolving into a chaos of uncontrolled speech were Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth.
Major advertisers have also abandoned the platform.
On Oct. 28, the day after he took control, Musk tweeted that no suspended accounts would be reinstated until Twitter formed a “content moderation council” with diverse viewpoints that would consider the cases.
On Tuesday, he said he was reneging on that promise because he’d agreed to it at the insistence of “a large coalition of political-social activists groups” who later “broke the deal” by urging that advertisers at least temporarily stop giving Twitter their business.
A day earlier, Twitter reinstated the personal account of far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which was banned in January for violating the platform’s COVID misinformation policies.
Musk, meanwhile, has been getting increasingly chummy on Twitter with right-wing figures. Before this month’s U.S. midterm elections he urged “independent-minded” people to vote Republican.
A report from the European Union published Thursday said Twitter took longer to review hateful content and removed less of it this year compared with 2021. The report was based on data collected over the spring — before Musk acquired Twitter — as part of an annual evaluation of online platforms’ compliance with the bloc’s code of conduct on disinformation. It found that Twitter assessed just over half of the notifications it received about illegal hate speech within 24 hours, down from 82% in 2021.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean court on Tuesday ordered the government to pay 30 million won ($24,000) to a Vietnamese woman who survived a gunshot wound but lost several relatives when South Korean marines rampaged through her village during the Vietnam War in 1968.
In awarding the compensation to 62-year-old Nguyen Thi Thanh, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed the government’s argument that it was unclear whether South Korean troops were responsible for the slaughter in the village of Phong Nhi.
The court also rejected the government’s argument that civilian killings were unavoidable as the Korean troops were dealing with Viet Cong guerrillas who often blended with locals, according to Thanh’s lawyer, Lim Jae-sung.
The ruling marks the first time a South Korean court found the country’s government responsible for mass killings of Vietnamese civilians during the war, and could potentially open the way for similar lawsuits. Then ruled by anti-communist military leaders, South Korea sent more than 320,000 troops to Vietnam, the largest foreign contingent fighting alongside U.S. troops.
South Korea’s Justice Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a query whether the government will appeal.
According to U.S. military documents and survivors, more than 70 people were killed and around 20 others injured after South Korean marines allegedly fired at unarmed civilians during search operations at Phong Nhi and the nearby village of Phong Nhut in February 1968.
Thanh, then 7 years old, was treated for gunshot wounds in her stomach while five of her family members died, including her mother, sister and brother. She filed the lawsuit against the South Korean government in 2020 and testified at the Seoul court last August.
The trial also included the testimonies of other Vietnamese villagers and South Korean war veteran Ryu Jin-seong, a member of the marine unit linked to the attacks in Phong Nhi and Phong Nhut. He provided a first-hand account of how the Korean soldiers shot at unarmed civilians, many of them children and women.
Thanh, who awaited the ruling in Vietnam, said she was “overjoyed” by her court win.
“I think that the souls (of those who died in Phong Nhi) were always with me and supported me,” she said in a video message translated by her legal team. “I am overjoyed because I think that the souls can now rest easy.”
The South Korean government had argued there was no conclusive evidence that South Korean troops were responsible for the killings, even suggesting that the aggressors may have been Viet Cong fighters disguised in Korean uniforms and attempting psychological warfare.
The government also insisted that even if Korean soldiers were involved, their aggressive response was understandable when they were facing constant threats from Viet Cong guerrillas, who often hid themselves among locals and actively recruited young women. | https://phl17.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-court-says-south-korea-responsible-for-vietnam-war-massacre/ | 2023-02-07 14:39:11 | 1 | https://phl17.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-court-says-south-korea-responsible-for-vietnam-war-massacre/ |

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees have a hearing Friday to determine the three-time All-Star’s salary for the 2022 season.
Whatever gets decided, the verdict has already come down in the Bronx:
Judge is going to be worth every penny.
The steady, 6-foot-7 slugger lined a game-winning single on the eve of his arbitration showdown, capping a four-run ninth inning that included Aaron Hicks’ tying three-run home r off closer Ryan Pressly in the Yankees’ 7-6 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday night.
Batting with two on against Ryne Stanek, Judge smoked a 3-0 splitter into the left-field corner to score Jose Trevino from second base. It was the Yankees’ ninth walk-off win in 70 games this season — their most since 1943 — and one that seemed mighty unlikely when they entered the last inning with only two hits.
“There’s a sign on the way out to the dugout that says, ‘Do Your Job,’” Judge said. “That’s what I tried to do in that situation.”
A job with an unknown salary, for now. The 30-year-old will have an unusual in-season arbitration hearing Friday — rulings are usually made in the offseason but were pushed past opening day this year due to the sport’s labor lockout.
Judge is asking for $21 million. New York has offered $17 million. The three-person panel will be charged with picking one salary or the other — nothing in between.
The hearing comes after the sides failed to reach agreement on a long-term contract prior to Judge’s opening-day deadline this spring, meaning No. 99 could leave the Yankees to chase a free agent deal elsewhere after the season.
Asked about Friday’s meeting, Judge smiled and said only “we’ll talk after.”
“We always hope the best for our guys in arbitration and stuff like that,” Hicks said. “We want him here as a Yankee.”
New York took the opener of a highly anticipated four-game series between the American League’s top two teams, winning for the 19th time in 22 games to improve to 52-18 — the third-best 70-game start in the majors since 1930.
New York also extended its home winning streak to 15 games, the team’s longest since 1961.
The Yankees entered Thursday tied for the major league lead with 20 comeback victories. No. 21 might top them all.
Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a three-run homer in the first inning, led off the ninth with a walk against Pressly, and Gleyber Torres drew another during a plate appearance that included a lengthy delay because Torres had something in his eye.
The switch-hitting Hicks then dug in from the left side and crushed a no-doubter to right field, just the third hit for the Yankees all night and first since Stanton’s homer.
Hicks’ third homer of the season sent the crowd of 44,071 into a frenzy.
“This was a playoff atmosphere right there,” Judge said.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa followed with an infield single but was thrown out trying to steal second — a close call upheld via replay.
Trevino lined a one-out single, prompting manager Dusty Baker to pull Pressly (1-2), a two-time All-Star who entered with a 5.71 ERA in 18 career appearances against the Yankees, including the postseason.
Stanek walked DJ LeMahieu, then fell behind Judge 3-0 as fans serenaded the slugger with “MVP!” chants.
“I knew I was gonna get the job done,” Judge said after his third career walk-off hit and second this season.
“That’s when this game’s at its best right there, moments like that,” he added. “Crowd’s on their feet, game’s on the line. They’re the moments in your backyard you dream about.”
Miguel Castro (4-0) worked a hitless inning for the win.
The Astros’ Alex Bregman and Stanton exchanged three-run homers in the first inning, and Houston’s Yordan Alvarez cracked another three-run drive in the third against Yankees starter Jameson Taillon.
Astros starter Framber Valdez steadied himself after a rocky first inning. Jose Altuve had three hits and right fielder Kyle Tucker robbed a potential homer in the eighth for Houston, but the Astros fell to 43-26 on a rare down night for the majors’ leading bullpen.
“Things started unraveling and we couldn’t put it back,” Baker said.
Valdez struck out seven over six innings, allowing just the three runs on two hits, both in the first inning. He looked primed to go deep in the game until Anthony Rizzo grinded out a 16-pitch walk in the sixth. Valdez was pulled after 101 pitches.
Héctor Neris pitched a perfect seventh, and Tucker helped Rafael Montero get through the eighth by leaping at the wall to catch a drive Rizzo thought was a surefire homer.
Taillon allowed a season-high six runs, interrupting a stellar first half after years of being hampered by health woes. Houston had 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings against the right-hander.
Alvarez, who homered twice against the Mets on Wednesday night, smacked a low, 113 mph line drive into Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch in the third. Alvarez’s 22 homers trail only Judge’s 27 for the major league lead.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: SS Jeremy Peña (thumb discomfort) worked out on the field, and Houston planned to evaluate him afterward. ... OF Jake Meyers (left shoulder surgery) rejoined the team after completing a minor league rehab assignment but was not activated.
Yankees: Traded RHP David McKay to Tampa Bay for cash, optioned RHP Clarke Schmidt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and added RHP Albert Abreu to the active roster.
UP NEXT
Astros ace Justin Verlander (8-3, 2.30 ERA) pitches at Yankee Stadium for the first time since Game 5 of the 2019 AL Championship Series, a 4-1 Houston loss. He’s 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA in 10 career starts at the ballpark. He’ll oppose New York RHP Luis Severino (4-1, 3.27) on Friday night.

ATLANTA (AP) — A New York real estate investment firm has pulled out of redeveloping Atlanta's shuttered civic center, raising questions about the plans.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Tishman Speyer withdrew this week. The Atlanta Housing Authority had late last month contracted with Tishman Speyer and Atlanta-based H.J. Russell & Co. to build a mix of affordable and market-rate housing on the 19-acre (8-hectare) property.
The company told the housing authority that Tishman Speyer “determined that the project is not right for us at this time,” said Atlanta Housing Authority President and CEO Eugene Jones.
“Despite Tishman Speyer’s sudden withdrawal, Atlanta Housing remains committed to its mission and will ensure the Civic Center site is developed with a strong affordable housing component, which will also advance Mayor Andre Dickens’ goal of creating 20,000 units of affordable housing in the city of Atlanta,” Jones said in a statement.
Tishman Speyer last year withdrew from a similar mixed-use plan to remake The Mall West End in Atlanta. The company has built a Buckhead office tower and is planning a large project in Atlanta's west midtown neighborhood.
H.J. Russell is still involved, but Jones said the housing authority is reviewing its requirements for selecting a redevelopment team.
The city closed the civic center in 2014. A previous private developer withdrew in 2016. The housing authority bought the site for $31 million in 2017.
The latest proposal would transform the civic center into a large retail space that preserves the site’s plaza and performing arts center as well as 1,300 housing units. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Real-estate-firm-exits-Atlanta-civic-center-17219617.php | 2022-06-04 16:37:09 | 0 | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Real-estate-firm-exits-Atlanta-civic-center-17219617.php |
Just Listed: Modern Traditional Extended Trinity in Fairmount
The furniture, kitchen, trim and main-floor wallpaper of this spacious double trinity all say “traditional.” But its amenities and features all scream “modern.”
You may recall that a few Trinity Tuesdays back, we featured a trinity on North Judson Street in Fairmount that was built at a 45-degree angle to the street because it makes a 45-degree turn right at the point where the house is located.
The owners of its next-door neighbor to the south put their house on the market at the end of the week that article ran, and one of them wrote me asking if I would give their house the same treatment.
Glad to oblige, Amber Mallon.
Unlike that house, this one has a standard rectangular footprint and extends further back on its slightly larger lot.
The agent marketing this house informs me that this is an extended trinity, but to be honest, it looks to me like all traces of trinity-ness got removed from it at least one renovation ago, if not more. In fact, I strongly suspect the house has had this footprint from the beginning, especially after viewing the primary bedroom.
But if so, that’s a good thing, if what you want is a spacious, attractive house with room for relaxation, entertaining, work and intimacy.
For this Fairmount extended trinity house for sale has all of those attributes.
The open main floor contains the spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Up front, a comfortable living room contains a wood-burning fireplace.
And next to it and the stairs, a dining room with a modern traditional chandelier lets you dine and entertain in style.
Behind all this is a kitchen equipped to prepare a feast. It has a Viking gas range and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances, including a built-in microwave. Traditional farmhouse cabinetry gives the room that traditional look, but again, everything about this kitchen is up to date.
Its location next to a brick-paved rear patio means you can relax, entertain and dine indoors and out. (There’s also room for a grill on the patio.)
Mallon especially enjoys putting this floor to good use. “I think our favorite feature of our home is the living room fireplace,” she writes in an email. “We love to sit in front of it, night after night, throwing another log on the fire, sharing stories of our day — typically over a cocktail. Another contender is my Viking range. How I love this stove!”
The second floor contains two bedrooms and a hall bath. Like the first floor, it has an original hardwood floor that has been refinished to a high gloss.
The rear bedroom is totally open to the hallway and stairs. Because of this, it makes an ideal home office.
Mallon didn’t mention this in her paean to this house, but I will wager she and her husband enjoy throwing logs on the working fireplace in the primary bedroom suite every bit as much as they do the one in the living room. The full-height brick fireplace and soaring vaulted ceiling add an element of style and drama to this room that many primary trinity bedrooms lack.
The primary bedroom suite also includes the most modern feature this house has: Its bathroom.
This one is sumptuously outfitted with a jetted tub and a shower stall containing dual handheld shower heads with body sprays.
Not only is this house very nicely outfitted, but it’s also very nicely located. “Our proximity to Whole Foods allows me to walk there several times a week for the best the region has to offer,” writes Mallon. And that’s not all you can walk to from here. It’s just a stone’s throw from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Eakins Oval, and neighborhood shopping near that Whole Foods on Pennsylvania Avenue and Brandywine Street.
Fairmount Avenue’s restaurant row, the Waterworks and the Schuylkill River Trail also lie within walking distance. All this means you can get your daily exercise in without having to go to the gym unless you need to bulk up your muscles.
With all this Fairmount extended trinity house for sale has to offer, I’m sure the Mallons aren’t looking forward to leaving it. But because they are leaving, you now have a chance to own a true gem of a house in a great location.

TRAVERSE CITY — Earlier this month a 52-year-old man was found dead in his truck at the Crossing Circle shopping center, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office reported. On Tuesday morning they identified him as Michael Charles Martin.
His last known address before his death was in Traverse City, but he had permanent addresses all over the country, Lt. Brandon Brinks said.
The investigation into Martin's cause of death is still ongoing, but at this point the medical examiners said there are no signs of foul play.
On March 4, a concerned passerby called dispatch and reported that she had seen Martin's truck in the same spot for the past month.
Sheriff's deputies reported that they found Martin dead once they arrived.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol treated President Joe Biden and fellow dinner guests to a rendition of Don McLean's "American Pie" at the White House Wednesday night.
A member of the right-wing People Power Party, Yoon ran on a platform of deregulating the economy and restoring unity in the country. He also appealed to anti-feminist voters, particularly young men, by vowing to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family during his campaign.
Over the last year, Yoon has deepened the relationship between South Korea and the United States, which seeks in South Korea a partner against economic competition with China and an ally amid tensions over Taiwan.
He's also, apparently, a decent singer. For a brief moment, the White House became a noraebang, which means karaoke spot in Korean — the phrase literally translates to "song room." Here's his full performance from the reception dinner Wednesday night:
What's the big deal? Yoon is on a six-day tour of the United States (no, not for a cappella). His trip marks the first time a South Korean head of state has visited the U.S. in 12 years, and comes at a time of rising nuclear tensions on the Korean peninsula.
Biden said in a joint press conference with Yoon on Wednesday that a nuclear attack on the U.S. or its allies, which includes South Korea, would mean the "end of whatever regime" at fault.
Yoon has also met with members of the private sector, including Tesla boss Elon Musk, as South Korea seeks deeper investments in semiconductors, batteries and electric vehicles. Korean Yonhap News Agency reported that during a meeting Wednesday, Yoon asked Musk to invest in South Korea and consider it a candidate for the company's next gigafactory.
What are people saying? Yoon addressed a joint session of Congress on Thursday, touting the deep relationship between the U.S. and South Korea that began 70 years ago. He also dropped several cultural references in speech, which he delivered in English.
"Culture is helping to further deepen our understanding and friendship. Nationality and language differences are no longer barriers," Yoon said, mentioning the Oscars success of films Parasite and Minari, and mentioning K-Pop groups BTS and Black Pink. "BTS beat me to the White House, but I beat them to Capitol Hill," he quipped.
But at home, the South Korean president has been experiencing lower levels of support for championing a closer diplomatic relationship with Japan despite its colonial, imperialist past.
So, what now?
Yoon has also scheduled meetings with Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Yoon is expected to visit Harvard University and MIT on Friday before leaving for Seoul on Saturday.

Report: Trump employees moved boxes of documents before Mar-a-Lago search by feds
(CNN) - More is being learned about what supposedly happened at Mar-a-Lago before federal agents showed up at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home last year.
On Thursday the Washington Post reported two Trump employees moved boxes of papers at Mar-a-Lago a day before the Justice Department came to collect classified documents.
According to the Post, investigators view the timing as a potential sign of obstruction.
The newspaper reported authorities also said they believe Trump may have conducted a “dress rehearsal” with his team for moving sensitive papers before they were subpoenaed in May 2022.
The Post stated that the lawyer of one of the employees told them his client did not know what was in the boxes and was just there to help Trump aide Walt Nauta.
Prosecutors have questioned Nauta on the motive for moving the boxes and he had said in one interview it was at Trump’s direction.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson is retiring from full-time racing and will turn his focus toward spending time with family.
He figures his future schedule will include no more than 10 bucket-list events, but the 47-year-old had no idea Monday what that schedule will look like.
Johnson told The Associated Press he was excited to announce “I’ve got a blank sheet of paper, and we can now see what opportunities exist and start making a calendar.” Carvana has already told Johnson it will back whatever racing he pursues.
Johnson took two weeks from the IndyCar finale — with a weekend spent in England with Ganassi teammates Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti at the Goodwood Festival of Speed — before finalizing his decision to scale back. He told the AP he didn’t really need the time to ponder his future.
“It’s been an interesting process to feel so fulfilled with the experience and then also try to make a decision,” Johnson said. “In the big scheme of things, there is so much life-planning going on with the kids. We’ve always had an idea of trying to live abroad for a year or two. We love Colorado and want to spend more time there, and there’s just so much swirling personally and professionally that I just wanted to take some time and make the decision not on the back of a positive or negative experience on the racetrack.”
So what is Johnson, who retired from NASCAR in 2020, thinking?
LE MANS
The 24 Hours of Le Mans would be part of the NASCAR and Hendrick Motorsports special “Garage 56” entry. Johnson has said from the start he wants to be part of the three-driver Le Mans lineup, even though its an exhibition for the Next Gen and the car will be alone in its class.
He’d been awaiting the 2023 IndyCar schedule to see if he’d even be available, but will ensure his schedule is clear should NASCAR want its future Hall of Famer to be part of the project.
INDYCAR
Johnson for sure won’t return for a second full IndyCar season with Chip Ganassi Racing. He raced only the street and road courses in 2021, added the ovals to run the full 2022 season and now isn’t even sure if he’ll run IndyCar at all.
“We are fully supportive of Jimmie. He has been a valued member of our team and if we can find a way to continue working together, we would like to do so,” said team owner Ganassi.
Johnson struggled on the street and road courses over two seasons, with his best performances on ovals — the discipline he dominated for nearly two decades in NASCAR. He finished an IndyCar-best fifth at Iowa, and although he ultimately crashed out of his Indianapolis 500 debut, Johnson turned laps at over 240 mph in a dazzling qualifying performance.
“I do have a desire to go back, it’s just at this point, I know what’s required to do a full schedule, and I don’t have that in me,” Johnson told AP. “I don’t have that passion that I need for myself to commit myself to a full season.”
BIG IDEA
Johnson has said since his 2020 NASCAR retirement that he’d race again in the series in the right opportunity, and is now entertaining the idea of doing “The Double” — the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
Kurt Busch was the last driver to attempt the 1,100-mile, two-state odyssey in 2014. Busch fell 200 miles shy of completing it when his engine failed in the NASCAR closer. Tony Stewart, who twice attempted both races, is the only driver to complete all 1,100 miles. John Andretti and Robby Gordon both made attempts before Busch.
Johnson would like to give it a try: He won the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway four times, including three consecutive victories from 2003-2005.
“You know me and endurance sports, and the double sounds awesome,” Johnson told AP. “I’ve always had this respect for the guys who have done the double. I would say it is more of a respect thing than a bucket-list item, and I’d love to put some energy into that idea and see if I can pull it off.”
The other NASCAR event that’s caught his attention? Next year’s inaugural race through the downtown streets of Chicago and the All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. Johnson noted as a past winner, he’s got an exemption into both the All-Star race and the exhibition season-opening Clash at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
WHAT ELSE?
The future in sports car racing is an unknown for Johnson after this weekend’s IMSA season-ending Petit Le Mans. He’s spent the last two seasons running the endurance races in a joint entry with Hendrick and Action Express, but does not expect enough inventory next year when IMSA adopts new cars for Johnson’s project to continue.
He told AP he would consider racing in a lower IMSA category, such as LMP2, and is even curious about the six-race World Endurance Championship. But the WEC Series intrigues him because of its exotic locales — Monza, Italy, Fuji Speedway in Japan, Bahrain — and the love of international travel he shares with his wife and two young daughters.
He and Chani Johnson have explored enrolling their girls in school in either England or France for a year for the experience, and as a hands-on father, Johnson takes an active role in shuttling his daughters to and from their full schedule of sports and activities. Chani Johnson is also a successful owner of an art gallery and is looking to expand her businesses.
“Chani has always supported me to the nth degree and also at the same time had her objectives, desires and pursued her pathway and her career. I think she’s optimistically cautious I follow through with this plan,” Johnson told AP. “But these decisions are based around family needs and demands, and I think it gets tricky and a bit more complicated on my schedule if we can some traction on travel and living abroad.
“But those are decisions that will come about in the next few months. And so I go into this I would say with no regrets. I look back and definitely learned lessons from what’s happened, good and bad. But I don’t have any pit in my stomach of something left unfinished, or any regrets I might have.” | https://www.pahomepage.com/sports/jimmie-johnson-to-retire-from-full-time-racing/ | 2022-09-26 16:52:03 | 0 | https://www.pahomepage.com/sports/jimmie-johnson-to-retire-from-full-time-racing/ |

Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in U.S. history, swamped southwest Florida on Sept. 28, turning streets into rivers, knocking out power to 2 million people and threatening catastrophic damage farther inland.
In the days before Ian made landfall, a social media post claiming a screenshot of a tweet allegedly posted by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in August 2019 was “real” went viral on Twitter. The tweet has garnered over 21,000 likes since it was shared on Sept. 26, 2022.
“I see people are rushing out to fill up their cars for this hurricane at the gas station. This wouldn’t be an issue if they had electric cars. If the power is out for a week how are they going to get gas? We need to start planning ahead and moving forward,” the Aug. 30, 2019, tweet purporting to be from Ocasio-Cortez said.
THE QUESTION
Did Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweet about electric cars being better than gas during hurricanes?
THE SOURCES
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Twitter page
- Archive.today, webpage archive
- Politwoops, an internet tool by ProPublica that tracks politicians deleted tweets
THE ANSWER
No, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not tweet about electric cars being better than gas during hurricanes.
WHAT WE FOUND
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the tweet on Aug. 31, 2019, when she told former White House aide Sebastian Gorka that she did not post it, a screen capture of the exchange on Archive.today shows. The original tweet also does not show up on Ocasio-Cortez’s profile on Politwoops, an internet tool by ProPublica that tracks politicians’ deleted tweets.
In addition to Ocasio-Cortez debunking the false claim herself, the font in the phony tweet does not match the way posts on Twitter normally look. For example, “retweets” and “likes” are both in all caps in the fake tweet but in real tweets, the words are stylized in sentence case. The date is also displayed wrong — in real Twitter posts, the time is shown before the date with a dot icon separating the two.
VERIFY found that the claim has been circulating on social media since at least late August 2019, when Hurricane Dorian was gaining strength off the coast of Florida. Many gas stations in the state were overwhelmed as evacuees rushed to stock up before the storm made landfall, VERIFY sister-station WTSP reported at the time.
VERIFY contacted Ocasio-Cortez’s press team for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.

North Carolina surprised just about everyone last year when a talented team led by first-year coach Hubert Davis parlayed a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament into a run to the national title game.
The Tar Heels won’t be sneaking up on anyone this year.
With four starters back from the team that lost to Kansas in New Orleans, the Tar Heels are the runaway pick as the preseason No. 1 in the AP Top 25 released Monday. They earned 47 of 62 first-place votes from a national media panel to easily outdistance Gonzaga, the top preseason team the past two years.
“As they opened up their lockers for the first practice of last year, there was a picture of the New Orleans Superdome in there. I wanted them to see where we were headed in April,” Davis recalled last week. “The hard work and preparation, the practice that had to be put into place to put ourselves in position to do that. t’s the same approach this year compared to last year. The only difference this year is the outside noise.
“Last year,” Davis said, “the outside noise didn’t think we had a chance. The outside noise this year thinks we do.”
Gonzaga received 12 first-place votes while No. 3 Houston had one and fourth-ranked Kentucky the other two. Houston has its highest preseason ranking since 1983, when the third of the Cougars’ Phi Slama Jama teams reached its second consecutive title game. Kentucky has its best preseason rank since 2019, when the season ended amid the pandemic.
There was a tie at No. 5 between the Jayhawks, who raised their latest national title banner inside Allen Fieldhouse earlier this month, and Big 12 rival Baylor, which raised its own championship banner the previous season.
It is the 10th time that North Carolina has been preseason No. 1, breaking a tie with Duke for the most in the history of the AP poll. Of those 10, two Tar Heels teams have gone on to win the NCAA title: the 1981-82 team coached by Dean Smith and featuring James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Michael Jordan, and the 2008-09 team coached by Roy Williams and featuring Tyler Hansbrough, Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson.
A third team, Williams’ 2015-16 squad, lost the final to Villanova on Kris Jenkins’ buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for our team’s potential,” Davis said of securing the top spot in the poll, “but the only way for us to reach any of our dreams and goals will be to improve each and every day by our commitment to preparing, practicing and playing to the best of our ability.”
Caleb Love, one of the four returning starters for North Carolina along with R.J. Davis, Leaky Black and Armando Bacot, said the focus will be on getting better daily ahead of the ACC grind.
Duke, where Jon Scheyer replaced Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski, was ranked seventh and UCLA eighth. Creighton has its best preseason ranking at No. 9, followed by Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, TCU and Auburn.
“You don’t pay a lot attention to it when you’re picked ninth,” Bluejays coach Greg McDermott said of their preseason ranking in the Big East last season. “You go to work every day and try to get better every day. It’s important we approach it the same this year.”
The No. 13 Hoosiers have their first ranking since January 2019 and highest in the preseason since 2016.
Villanova, where Kyle Neptune is taking over for Hall of Fame coach Jay Wright, is No. 16, the lowest preseason ranking for the Wildcats since 2008. They were followed by Arizona, Virginia, San Diego State and Alabama.
The final five are Oregon, Michigan, Illinois, Dayton and Texas Tech.
“When I was in school as a player, I never bought into the rankings, what the media would say about our ball club. You still got to go out and play the game,” Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson said. “Hell, my senior year we were ranked No. 1 and we didn’t get it done. So at the end of the day I guess it’s kind of nice for our players who haven’t experienced that. Again, you got to go out and play. I mean, you got to prove it on the basketball floor. That’s when it counts.”
CONFERENCE WATCH
The Big 12 and SEC lead the way with five ranked teams. The Big Ten, Pac 12 and ACC have three apiece and the Big East has two. The West Coast, Atlantic 10, Mountain West and American Athletic conferences each have one team in the poll.
OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
Texas A&M was the first team outside the poll, followed by UConn, which appeared on 24 of 62 ballots. Miami, Purdue and Saint Louis were also eyeing a spot in the Top 25 when the first regular-season poll is released Nov. 14.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR
The season begins for most teams Nov. 7, but as usual, the first meeting of heavyweights will be the Champions Classic on Nov. 15 in Indianapolis: No. 4 Kentucky plays Michigan State, unranked in the preseason poll for the second year in a row, before No. 5 Kansas plays No. 7 Duke in the nightcap.

Wild winter storm envelops US, snarling Christmas travel
MISSION, Kan. (AP) — A wild winter storm continued to envelop much of the United States on Saturday, bringing blinding blizzards, freezing rain, flooding and life-threatening cold that created mayhem for those traveling for the Christmas holiday.
The storm that arrived earlier in the week downed power lines, littered highways with piles of cars in deadly accidents and led to mass flight cancellations.
The storm was nearly unprecedented in its scope, stretching from the Great Lakes near Canada to the Rio Grande along the border with Mexico. About 60% of the U.S. population faced some sort of winter weather advisory or warning, and temperatures plummeted drastically below normal from east of the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians, the National Weather Service said.
Freezing rain coated much of the Pacific Northwest in a layer of ice, while people in the Northeast faced the threat of coastal and inland flooding.
The frigid temperatures and gusty winds were expected to produce “dangerously cold wind chills across much of the central and eastern U.S. this holiday weekend,” the weather service said, adding that the conditions “will create a potentially life-threatening hazard for travelers that become stranded.”
“In some areas, being outdoors could lead to frostbite in minutes,” it said.
Adding to the woes were power outages that by late Friday were still affecting more than a million homes and businesses, according to the website PowerOutage, which tracks utility reports.
As millions of Americans were traveling ahead of Christmas, more than 5,700 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled Friday, according to the tracking site FlightAware.
Multiple highways were closed and crashes claimed at least six lives, officials said. At least two people died in a massive pileup involving some 50 vehicles on the Ohio Turnpike. A Kansas City, Missouri, driver was killed Thursday after skidding into a creek, and three others died Wednesday in separate crashes on icy northern Kansas roads.
In Canada, WestJet canceled all flights Friday at Toronto Pearson International Airport, as meteorologists there warned of a potential once-in-a-decade weather event. While in Mexico, migrants camped near the U.S. border in unusually cold temperatures as they awaited a U.S. Supreme Court decision on pandemic-era restrictions that prevent many from seeking asylum.
Forecasters said a bomb cyclone — when atmospheric pressure drops very quickly in a strong storm — had developed near the Great Lakes, stirring up blizzard conditions, including heavy winds and snow.
Even people in Florida were braced for unusually chilly weather as rare freeze warnings were issued for large parts of the state over the holiday weekend.
Activists were rushing to get homeless people out of the cold. Nearly 170 adults and children were keeping warm early Friday in Detroit at a shelter and a warming center that are designed to hold 100 people.
“This is a lot of extra people” but it wasn’t an option to turn anyone away, said Faith Fowler, the executive director of Cass Community Social Services, which runs both facilities.
Emergency weather shelters in Portland, Oregon, called for volunteers amid high demand and staffing issues as snow, freezing rain, ice and frigid temperatures descended upon the area.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said she was deploying the National Guard to haul timber to the Oglala Sioux and Rosebud Sioux tribes and help with snow removal.
“We have families that are way out there that we haven’t heard from in two weeks,” said Wayne Boyd, chief of staff to the Rosebud Sioux president.
On the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Harlie Young was huddled with five children and her father around a wood stove as 12-foot (3.6-meter) snow drifts blocked the house.
“We’re just trying to look on the bright side that they’re still coming and they didn’t forget us,” she said Friday.
Calling it a “kitchen sink storm,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency. In parts of New York City, tidal flooding inundated roads, homes and businesses Friday morning.
In Boston, rain combined with a high tide, flooded some downtown streets on Friday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C (AP) — Jerry Richardson, the Carolina Panthers founder and for years one of the NFL’s most influential owners until a scandal forced him to sell the team, has died. He was 86.
Richardson died peacefully Wednesday night at his Charlotte home, the team said in a statement.
Richardson became the first former NFL player to own a team since Chicago’s George Halas when he landed the expansion Panthers in 1993.
A former teammate of Johnny Unitas who caught a touchdown pass in the Baltimore Colts’ victory over the New York Giants in the 1959 NFL championship game, Richardson only spent two years in the NFL before venturing into the restaurant business. He used his championship bonus money to open the first Hardee’s in Spartanburg, South Carolina — close to where he had attended Wofford College.
He went on to make his fortune in the restaurant business, becoming chief executive officer of Flagstar, the sixth-largest food service company in the country at the time.
The Spring Hope, North Carolina, native spent years trying to persuade the NFL to put a team in the Carolinas, ultimately succeeding through a relatively original concept of funding a new stadium through the sales of permanent seat licenses.
“Jerry Richardson’s contributions to professional football in the Carolinas are historic,” current Panthers owner David Tepper and his wife Nicole said in a statement. “With the arrival of the Panthers in 1995, he changed the landscape of sports in the region and gave the NFL fans here a team to call their own.”
Richardson said in 2018 his greatest mission in life was bringing the NFL to the Carolinas.
The Panthers began play in 1995 and Richardson quickly built Carolina into one of the league’s model franchises, while becoming a powerful figure in the NFL. Richardson served on several high-level owners committees, playing a key role in labor negotiations with the players’ union.
But Richardson’s reputation took a tremendous hit when he announced he was selling the Panthers on Dec. 17, 2017, — the same day Sports Illustrated reported that four former Panthers employees received significant monetary settlements due to inappropriate sexually suggestive language and actions by Richardson. It was also reported he used a racial slur directed toward a team scout.
He sold the team to Tepper, a hedge fund owner, in May 2018 for a then-NFL record $2.27 billion. The following month the NFL fined Richardson $2.75 million for alleged workplace misconduct.
Richardson never addressed the allegations against him publicly.
After purchasing the Panthers, Tepper said he was “contractually obligated” to keep the statue of Richardson, flanked by two panthers, outside of the downtown Charlotte stadium that Richardson built.
But in June 2020, the Panthers removed the statue, saying they were concerned there may be attempts to take the statue down due to protests and unrest following the death of George Floyd.
The team said that “moving the statue is in the interest of public safety.” It has never returned.
Although Richardson once promised the Panthers would win a Super Bowl “within 10 years” of beginning play in 1995, they never did. The team reached the Super Bowl in the 2003 and 2015 seasons, but lost both times.
The lack of consistency was a source of irritation for Richardson, as Carolina failed to put together back-to-back winning seasons during his 23 seasons as owner despite hiring four coaches: Dom Capers, George Seifert, John Fox and Ron Rivera.
“I will always be grateful to him for the opportunity to coach the Carolina Panthers & for his patient, steadfast leadership during 7 seasons,” Rivera said on social media.
Richardson was well liked by his players.
Former tight end Greg Olsen posted a four-minute video on Twitter, saying when Richardson learned his unborn son had a serious heart defect he insisted on flying his family to Boston Medical Center in his own personal jet so they could receive the best medical advice.
Olsen and his wife Kara later named the child Trent “Jerry” Olsen after Richardson.
“We got love from a man that was my employer, my boss, not a close personal friend at the time,” Olsen said. “And he went above and beyond to bring comfort to a family at its toughest time.”
Quarterback Jake Delhomme, who led the Panthers to their first Super Bowl in the 2003 season, recalls getting a phone call from Richardson a couple of days after enduring he endured a disastrous four-turnover performance in a 33-13 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the 2008 playoffs.
“He calls and says, ‘Jake, the sun came out today at my house, did it come out at yours?,’” Delhomme told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I said, ‘Yes sir, it did.’ He said, ‘that’s a good thing — everything will be OK.’ And then he hung up the phone.”
When linebacker Thomas Davis retired in 2021, he thanked Richardson for believing in him and keeping him on the roster despite having suffered three torn ACLs in the same knee.
Conservative by nature, Richardson once cautioned Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton against getting tattoos and piercings after drafting the quarterback No. 1 overall in 2011 for fear it would impact his image.
He also had a policy where fans weren’t allowed to remove their shirts during games.
And during Richardson’s tenure as owner he always made sure the NFL logo — instead of his team’s — was at midfield of Bank of America Stadium.
Richardson’s tenure was marred by off-field issues.
He fired both his sons — Mark, the team president, and Jon, the director of stadium operations — following a sibling squabble at the stadium in front of other employees while he was recovering from a heart transplant in 2009. It was expected at the time one of the boys might inherit the team, but that never happened. Jon Richardson died of cancer in 2013.
In 2000, wide receiver Rae Carruth, a former first-round draft pick, was convicted on a murder conspiracy charge in connection with the drive-by shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend. Carruth was imprisoned for 16 years.
And in 2014 star defensive end Greg Hardy was placed on a commissioner’s exempt list after he was accused of allegedly throwing his girlfriend on to furniture and threatening to kill her. Prosecutors dismissed domestic violence charges against Hardy after they said the accuser in the case couldn’t be found.
Richardson is survived by his wife, Rosalind, son Mark and daughter Ashley Richardson Allen.

Attendees of annual radiology forum can try emtelliPro at emtelligent booth 4449
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- emtelligent, a leader in the development of clinical-grade natural language processing (NLP) software for healthcare organizations, today announced the continued expansion of its emtelliSuite™ family of apps on the eve of RSNA 2022, the Radiological Society of North America's annual global forum being held Nov. 27 to Dec. 1 in Chicago.
The emtelliSuite collection of apps is designed to improve patient safety and care quality by unlocking hard-to-reach medical data. emtelliSuite leverages emtelligent's emtelliPro® NLP engine, a proprietary and purpose-built, enterprise-scale platform that enables actionable clinical insights from unstructured medical text.
RSNA 2022 attendees will be able to try emtelliPro and emtelliSuite apps at emtelligent's booth 4449 in the South Exhibit Hall at McCormick Place.
emtelliSuite apps and the emtelliPro medical NLP platform improve efficiency and effectiveness for care providers, researchers, and administrators. Along with its existing apps, including smart searching, report reading, patient summary tools, some of the radiology-specific apps now included in emtelliSuite are:
- AI Concordance – Classifies radiologist reports as positive or negative for specific pathologies, for comparison with image analysis AI model output to quantify and track the accuracy of AI models over time
- Case Auditor – Identifies case results as positive or negative for their stated indication, to track referring physician accuracy for assistance in implementing decision support and ensuring high-quality care
- Critical Results Auditor – Identify cases by diagnosis where the radiologist has not included a statement of critical results communication to ensure adherence with departmental guidelines
- Follow-Up Detector – Automatically flag actionable recommendations or incidental findings from within radiology reports to ensure timely adherence and follow-up
- Indication Auditor – Find reports with low-quality indications to have evidence for providing feedback to referring clinicians to improve quality of care
- MRI Screener – Find patients with medical devices or other conditions that may be ineligible for MRI procedures before they get to the MRI suite to prevent un-filled timeslots and ensure high equipment utilization rates
- Trainee Scoreboard – Automatically tracks the number of actual diagnoses (rather than just exam counts) seen or made by a trainee to 1) improve educational outcomes and 2) ensure that knowledge "blind spots" are avoided.
AI Concordance Reporting
As vendors are now widely selling AI models with promises of high accuracy, hospitals, clinics, and AI vendors are discovering the need to track AI model performance. Differences in imaging equipment, image protocols, and patient factors can mean a significant gap between as-advertised and real-world performance of AI models. Tracking performance of these models in production settings is important to ensure value and patient safety.
emtelliPro can automatically classify radiologist reports as being positive or negative for specific pathologies, and these results can be compared to AI model output to produce concordance reports. These can be run regularly or on-demand to accurately assess AI model performance in a hospital or clinic's real-world environment while helping to ensure patients are getting the care they need and creating added value for the medical imaging department.
"Radiologists struggling with high volumes of work and limited resources need help in quickly finding relevant clinical information for their patients," said Dr. Tim O'Connell, emtelligent CEO and co-founder and a practicing radiologist in British Columbia. "emtelliPro and emtelliSuite give them the technology tools to improve patient safety and quality of care. We're excited to have RSNA attendees try our solutions at the show."

A pilots’ union president has told Congress that Southwest Airlines’ December meltdown happened because the airline grew too fast during the pandemic and didn’t update critical technology, then botched the recovery including operating 500 empty flights while passengers were stranded over the holidays.
In prepared testimony for a Senate hearing Thursday, a top Southwest executive apologized again for the fiasco and said the airline is taking steps to avoid another breakdown, but he provided few new details about the breakdown.
The comments were contained in prepared testimony submitted to the Senate Commerce Committee, which took aim at Southwest as it began to probe disruptions that affect millions of air travelers every year.
“We know this won’t be the last snowstorm to hit this country. So let’s figure why Southwest’s operations collapsed and what needs to change so this never happens again on Southwest or any other airline,” said the committee chair, Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
Southwest and other airlines were hit by a winter storm on Dec. 21, but Southwest failed to recover when other carriers did. It canceled nearly 17,000 flights over a 10-day stretch, causing customers — likely more than 2 million of them — to scramble for other flights or cancel their travel plans. The breakdown has cost the airline more than $1 billion.
Chief Operating Officer Andrew Watterson said in prepared remarks that Southwest drew up a plan for an expected winter storm, but it was worse than forecast. Southwest struggled with deicing equipment and jet bridges in Denver and Chicago, eventually canceling most flights at those airports, which rippled out nationwide.
By Dec. 24, as the storm moved east, Southwest’s ability to reschedule crews was in tatters, and pilots and flight attendants were stranded just like the passengers. It took another week for the airline to recover.
Watterson said Southwest has updated crew software and increased the ratio of employees to planes, and the airline is confident it will do a better job if hit again with mass cancellations.
Casey Murray, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, said the debacle was avoidable. He said unions had warned company leaders about problems with crew scheduling — it broke down during a smaller crisis in October 2021 — but failed to make necessary improvements. When the storm hit, Southwest didn’t know where employees were, he said.
Murray suggested that the company was more focused on growth — adding 18 new cities during the pandemic.
“Managers’ overconfidence in their planning and a systemic failure to provide modern tools to employees doomed SWA’s recovery before the first snowflake hit the ground,” he said.
Murray also criticized the Dallas-based airline for giving $8.8 million in stock options to seven senior executives last week. He pressed Congress to make Southwest give a deadline for fixing its crew scheduling and provide details around its pledge to invest more in technology. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/senate-panel-probes-holiday-meltdown-at-southwest-airlines/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2023-02-09 16:32:30 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/senate-panel-probes-holiday-meltdown-at-southwest-airlines/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business |

Artificial intelligence, Web3 and robotics top the list of emerging technologies CIOs, CTOs and other technology leaders seek to implement in the next three years
MENLO PARK, Calif., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology leaders still have work to do when it comes to balancing their ambitious innovation strategies with organizational priorities and a host of business challenges, according to a new Protiviti survey of more than 1,000 CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other senior technology executives around the globe.
As technology leaders navigate the hype cycles of emerging technologies like Web3 and the metaverse, they are also contending with obstacles such as technical debt, a shortage of talent and skills, and a turbulent global economic environment that is prompting companies around the world to examine their broader innovation strategies along with their spending on new technologies.
While the Protiviti study, titled, "Global Technology Executive Survey: The Innovation Vs. Technical Debt Tug of War," found that most (79%) organizations reported having defined innovation goals, only 54% of organizations responded that they have a clear innovation strategy in place, raising the possibility that many companies have yet to think through how to align their investments in innovation with broader business objectives.
"When it comes to developing smart innovation strategies, technology leaders must ask themselves if they're innovating to achieve a specific business goal," said Kim Bozzella, global leader of Technology Consulting, Protiviti. "It's easy to fall into the trap of innovating for the sake of innovation. This is especially important as the uncertain economic outlook prompts companies to scrutinize every dollar of spending to ensure it benefits the bottom line. Creating a roadmap that measures immediate and long-term innovation progress and how these investments map to business objectives is critical to navigating the current business environment."
Obstacles to Innovation
Technical debt, the accumulated cost of maintaining and supporting legacy IT systems, is a leading obstacle that impacts nearly 70% of organizations' ability to innovate – and is expensive to tackle. On average, surveyed organizations invest more than 30% of their IT budget and devote more than 20% of their resources just to tame technical debt.
The talent war, one of the top risks facing organizations today, is also affecting technology teams, challenging leaders to attract and retain top talent. Complicating matters is the need to ensure that new hires and current technology employees have the necessary skills for the next generation of emerging technologies. Among respondents, the largest talent gaps organizations face are in the areas of design thinking (37%), solution architecture (37%), enterprise agility (35%) and technical knowledge (31%).
Strategies for Driving Technology Adoption and Innovation
While cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become table stakes for organizations, the pace of their adoption is showing promising signs for other emerging technologies. Among the top technologies organizations are planning to implement in the next three years are:
- Web3 (41%)
- Robotics (38%)
- Low code/no code platforms (38%)
"Companies need to ignore the noise of buzzwords, and instead focus on understanding the capabilities that emerging technologies bring. Rapid technology innovation is here to stay and will have a profound impact on business in the coming years," said Christine Livingston, a managing director in the Technology Consulting practice at Protiviti. "Companies also need to realize that emerging technologies are not optimized without enabling and upskilling the right talent, who will educate themselves and experiment with the new technologies in order to understand them well enough to use in the service of broader business goals."
When it comes to the use of innovation strategies, according to the survey, 94% of organizations are employing agile development and 65% have found it delivers the results they wanted, while 90% of organizations are using design thinking and 57% have found that strategy delivers desired results.
Survey Methodology
Protiviti surveyed 1,050 CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other technology executives and leaders at organizations across a broad range of industries globally. The majority of respondents' companies had revenues of $1 billion or more. Respondents were asked about their innovation strategies, which emerging technologies they find most promising, and how they are coping with a wide range of challenges. The study includes survey results broken out by industry, role, size of organization and country, along with practical calls to action.
Survey Resources Available
The survey findings, an executive summary and an infographic are available here. Protiviti will host a complimentary webinar on April 20, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PDT to explore the implications of the survey's results. Speakers include Livingston who will be joined by Protiviti Managing Directors Sharon Stufflebeme and Samir Datt. Please register for the webinar here.

Meghan Trainor made a splash with her “Mother” music video, which features the famous mom-ager Kris Jenner.
Kris takes a starring role in the video as the two channel old Hollywood glamour. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star lip syncs to the feminist anthem while sashaying around in an exquisite white dress and diamond necklace in one scene.
Another scene sees the ladies wearing black velvet outfits, and showing off their eye-catching diamonds and jewelry.
The singer said in a statement about her latest offering, “This song is my response to being in the industry for almost a decade now and still finding myself in situations where I am talked down to or made to feel like my opinion isn’t valid.”
“It’s for anyone who is in a situation where they feel like they are being mansplained to and want to take their power back,” she added.
The song samples The Chordettes’ 1954 hit “Mr. Sandman,” as Meghan sings about putting men with a “God complex” in their place. “Yeah, your opinion’s so strong/ Even when you’re wrong/ Bet that feels like power to you,” she muses before reminding them they “must’vе forgot who you’re talking to.”
She also gives a shout-out to husband Daryl Sabara in this new offering, singing, “Y’all need a masterclass from my man/ Learn how to satisfy like he can/ Ain’t tryna control me and own me/ Like an old man on C-SPAN/ Bet you wish you could wife this/ Stay mad, that’s priceless.”
“Mother” is one of three new songs featured on Meghan’s deluxe version of her album Takin’ It Back, which is out now.

Talk about a storybook ending.
Author Jamil Jan Kochai searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung — the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier. And on Saturday night, in one of those "life is better than fiction" twists, the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
"I pretty much learned how to read and write in English because of her, and if it wasn't for Mrs. Lung, I don't know what would have happened to me," Kochai, who still finds it difficult to call his former teacher by her first name, told NPR.
"I feel like everything that I've done up to this point — all the success that I've had, the fact that I'm a novelist today — it all started with Mrs. Lung all the way back in 1999, when I was 7 years old," he added.
Kochai is the author of 99 Nights in Logar, a finalist for the Pen/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel. He is currently promoting his second book, The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories. His work has been published and praised in many of the nation's most esteemed publications. But for much of his early life, he could hardly speak English.
The writer was born in a refugee camp for Afghans in Peshawar, Pakistan, and his family moved to California when he was just a year old. At home, they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi, so by the time he reached first grade, Kochai said, he was at a total loss.
As a result, he said, "I associated school and learning with punishment and with exclusion."
He fell further behind during the summer of 1999, when the family spent several months in Afghanistan.
"I fell in love with my parents' home village in Logar, but pretty much everything that I learned in first grade, I ended up forgetting by the time the summer was over," Kochai explained.
The magic of Mrs. Lung — and all the devoted teachers out there
Then came Mrs. Lung, who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School, both academically and socially.
"I could see he was sharp as a tack, but it was hard for him," Lung told NPR.
"Not only did he have to deal with forgetting all the English that he knew, but he had to deal with the kids who couldn't understand him."
The two got to work, meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school. By the end of the school year, Kochai said, he was winning reading-comprehension competitions.
Thinking back on the experience, Lung said it's not an especially unique situation.
"There are many thousands of teachers doing the same thing all over, and they're doing it for the love of it. Not for any kind of kudos but because we have a passion for it," she said.
Lung added: "It's just incredible to see their literacy grow by leaps and bounds. To see when they're able to communicate with their little friends, which I think is a big part of learning English or any other language."
The problem with not being on a first-name basis with your elementary school teachers
Lung and Kochai lost touch at the end of their year together. Kochai's father got a job in another city and the boy moved on, albeit with a voracious new love of reading and writing. By the time he reached high school, Kochai's parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her. But despite his efforts, he failed to track her down.
"Part of it was that I didn't know her first name. She was always just Mrs. Lung to me, so when I called places to ask about her, they couldn't find any records of her," he said, laughing.
But Kochai kept trying through college and afterward. Still, he came up empty.
Then, while promoting his first novel, he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life. Lung's neurosurgeon happened to read it, and during her next visit, the physician asked the now-retired educator, "Did you ever teach at Alyce Norman Elementary School?"
It was Lung's husband who ultimately found Kochai. "He found me on Facebook and reached out to me out of the blue," Kochai said.
They made plans for a phone call that same night.
"I finally got the chance after all these years to express to her how much I still thought of her and how much she meant to me," Kochai said, adding that he also managed to get both of his parents on the call. "She was just the same Mrs. Lung. Just as sweet and kind and warm as ever. And we were all tearing up. It was a really emotional, lovely night," he said.
It was the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and they promised to meet in person as soon as things returned to normal. But as life does, Kochai said, one thing after another seemed to get in the way, and the reunion never materialized.
Reunited and it feels so good
"Again, it was my husband who had the idea, to go to the reading on Saturday," Lung said.
Lung's husband had seen a Facebook post about Kochai's new book and suggested they make the drive to a reading in Davis, California.
"I had no idea they were going to be there," Kochai said, sounding absolutely delighted.
"I don't know how I didn't see her before, but Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. I mean, it had been 20 to 22 years since the last time I'd seen her," he reasoned.
They hugged and he gushed, and she asked him to sign her copy of his first novel.
"And I got to leave a little note for her explaining how much she meant to me. And it was a really lovely evening," Kochai added.
They exchanged numbers again, and now they've made a new plan. "We're going to have a big family dinner next week!" Kochai said.
In the meantime, Lung has some homework: "I am part of the way through his first book and I just got his second book at the reading, so I'll be reading that when I'm finished."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)Aliyah Boston missed the second half of No. 1 South Carolina’s game against Hampton on Sunday with her right foot in a walking boot, but reserves Bree Hall and Ashlyn Watkins scored 14 points each in an 85-38 win.
Kamilla Cardoso added 11 points and 14 rebounds for South Carolina. It was the 6-foot-7 forward’s eighth career double-double.
”You take out arguably the best player in the country (Boston) at 6-5 and you put in somebody 6-7,” Hampton coach David Six said. ”You need to take a ladder out so you can combat their size.”
Staley said Boston was questionable going forward but the team doctor ”wasn’t too, too concerned.” The reigning Associated Press Player of the Year will be examined Monday before deciding if she’ll play against No. 20 UCLA on Tuesday night.
Boston took a hard fall on a drive to the basket late in the second quarter and needed several moments to stand up. Soon after, she headed to the locker room before the period ended.
Boston did not come out for the start of the third quarter, returning to the bench midway through the period with a walking boot on her right foot. Boston spent the rest of the game cheering on her teammates, who improved to 6-0 this season and 5-0 all-time against the Pirates.
”It’s always tough to see somebody go down,” said Laeticia Amihere, who came as part of the top-ranked recruiting class in 2020 with Boston. ”We just have to send prayers up for her that she’ll be fine the next game for us.”
Hall, a sophomore, has set career highs in two of her past three games. Staley said she and freshman Watkins injected life into the team after a sluggish start to the third quarter with Boston absent.
”I brought in the young guns,” Staley said. ”I knew they’d bring energy.”
The Gamecocks hadn’t played at home since the opener Nov. 7, when they unfurled their NCAA Tournament title banner and received their championship rings. A productive road trip followed, with victories at No. 14 Maryland and at No. 2 Stanford in overtime.
South Carolina easily dispensed of Hampton in front of an appreciative home crowd, scoring 20 straight points and dialing up its trademark defense to lead 22-4 after the first quarter.
Hampton, of the Colonial Athletic Association, led 2-0 on Camryn Hill’s bucket 45 seconds in. The Pirates missed their next 14 attempts to fall way behind.
Hill led the Pirates with 16 points.
THE BIG PICTURE
Hampton: The Pirates were overmatched. They shot just 15% in the first half (4 of 25) and South Carolina scored 17 points off their nine turnovers in the first 20 minutes.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks are deep in the middle – they have six players 6-2 or taller – and had no trouble pulling away from Hampton without Boston. They’ll likely need a healthy, active Boston to stay on top of the Southeastern Conference and repeat as NCAA champions, though.
UP NEXT
Hampton travels to Norfolk State on Thursday night.
South Carolina continues its homestand with No. 20 UCLA on Tuesday night.

This summer is all about sharing wine and feeling fine for Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough.
The best friends launched their own wine label in 2019, with their company Fresh Vine Wine offering premium, lower-carb and lower-calorie bottles that are produced in Napa, California. Years into their business partnership, Dobrev, 33, and Hough, 34, are closer than ever, with Dobrev exclusively telling E! News that the pair "clicked immediately" when they were introduced through their mutual hairstylist more than a decade ago.
"We ended up going on a little friend date," Hough continued, "and have not left each other's side."
So what is the secret behind their special bond?
"We're very similar and very different at the same time," Dobrev explained. "We're strong in ways that the other isn't. In a weird way, we complete each other, which is really nice."
When it comes to their similarities, The Vampire Diaries star shared, "We're both really outgoing. We both love drinking wine. We love dancing and sharing experiences together and laughing and going deep."
Which is what inspired them to start Fresh Vine, with the pair hoping to share the experiences they cherish together with the world. And no, they had no concerns about two stepping into business together.
"You've heard it for years, right, not to work with family and friends?" the Dancing With the Stars alum explained. "But when it's the right partner, friends and family can be incredible. You have to respect each other. It's the best because you get to share in creating something really powerful that you can share with the world. There's nothing better than sharing something that you love with somebody that you love."
Another passion Dobrev and Hough share is maintaining holistic yet balanced lifestyles, which was why they prioritized making their wines lower in calories and carbs without sacrificing its taste.
"We really like going to classes, dancing and doing things," Dobrev said. "But at the same time, we love to laugh and go out and have fun and balance is really the key. We wanted to create a really balanced wine that doesn't make me feel horrible to drink it. It doesn't make you feel guilty when you have it."
Acknowledging their company helped fulfill "a personal desire" for the BFFs to have access to a wine that served their own needs, Hough said that they noticed a growing desire in the market for options that could be part of an active lifestyle.
"People are more conscious about what they're putting into their bodies and they probably want to have two or three glasses and not feel so bad about it," Hough continued. "Yes, we did it for ourselves because that's what we love, but we also thought, wow, this is the way the world is shifting and it would be really great to create something that is beneficial to how people are shifting their own lifestyles and not compromise on the fact that it's really beautiful, premium wine."
Given the warmer temperatures and late summer nights, Dobrev said it was the "perfect time" to launch their latest wine, a $20 Sauvignon Blanc, calling it her "new favorite."
"It's really light and refreshing, so it is perfect timing," she raved "When it's hot outside, you want to unwind with something that will cool you down and the Sauvignon Blanc is really special because it's got aromas of key lime, fresh melon and citrus blossoms."
Hough explained it was important to make their wines affordable, wanting to help customers create special occasions without breaking the bank "so that each experience felt like a luxury and moment where you can create a memory and make it really special."
One such event is coming up in Hough's future: brother Derek Hough and soon-to-be sister-in-law Hayley Erbert, and she expects to see Fresh Vine Wine being served at the wedding.
"I have demanded it," Hough said. "That is a joke, but kind of not."
One thing you can definitely count on is finding Dobrev and Hough on the dance floor, making memories one sip at a time. | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1341021/how-bffs-nina-dobrev-and-julianne-hough-were-able-to-mix-friendship-and-business?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-08-06 11:03:34 | 0 | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1341021/how-bffs-nina-dobrev-and-julianne-hough-were-able-to-mix-friendship-and-business?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories |
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Halloween is here, and while goblins, ghouls and vampires are scary, there are things even more terrifying to Floridians.
While some of the things on this list may go bump in the night, others can have you sitting in traffic for hours, smelly something fishy or sweating it out with no relief in sight.
1. Broken A/C
While many areas up north are enjoying cool, fall temperatures for their Halloween celebrations and trick-or-treating festivities, the same can’t be said for here in Florida. The high temperature here in Tampa this Halloween was a warm 87 degrees! If the air conditioner in your car – or even worse, your home, isn’t working, just opening your windows might not offer too much of a relief. Terrifying!
2. Hurricanes
With the devastation of Hurricane Ian only just a little over a month behind us, it’s safe to say hurricanes are always a worry on a Floridian’s mind, no matter where you live in the state. From the stress of preparing for the storm, to watching spaghetti models change with what can seem like every update from the National Hurricane Center, to hunkering down not knowing how your area and home may be affected, hurricanes are one of the scariest things in Florida.
3. Gators
If you come across a body of water in Florida, including swimming pools, always assume there may be an alligator swimming or sunbathing nearby and look before you leap! And if you’re a University of Florida fan, “Gators” may be especially scary for you this season!
4. I-4 Traffic
Some days, it doesn’t matter what time you leave to head to Plant City, Lakeland or Orlando, I-4 is always backed up for one reason or another. Heading to Disney World with a car full of excited kids ready to see Mickey Mouse and you’re trapped in what feels like a parking lot near Champion’s Gate? We understand your fear.
5. Sharks
While you might not need a bigger boat, many species of sharks call Tampa Bay area waters home, and they’re a fear for many beachgoers. From black-tipped sharks, to bonnet head sharks found in Tampa Bay, to bull sharks, hammerheads and whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico, it’s very possible you’ll see a fin in the surf here in Florida.
6. Love Bugs
Sometimes, the most terrifying things in Florida come in pairs, and that means love bugs. The species of march fly come around twice a year in April and May, then again in August and September. Love can be in the air… but it can also be splattered all over your car, too. When it’s time to face your fear, be sure to check out our guide on how to protect your property and get things clean from love bugs.
7. Spring Breakers
While usually most Tampa Bay area school districts go on spring break at the same time of the year, there’s always northerners to think about from all districts and colleges, too! If you’re looking to head to a Florida beach or a theme park in the months of March and April and you’re terrified of crowds, be wary of spring breakers!
8. Pollen
When you’re living in Florida, it seems like there’s no escaping pollen season. From oak and pine season, to grass pollen season, ragweed and more, if you’re prone to allergies, pollen might be what you’re most afraid of here in Florida, if you can stop sneezing long enough to be scared, that is. | https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/8-things-floridians-fear-the-most/ | 2022-10-31 22:42:50 | 0 | https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/8-things-floridians-fear-the-most/ |
New series and feature films span the globe with titles from France, Wales, Iceland, Italy, Germany and MHz Choice's first series from Japan.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MHz Choice has upped the ante this fall with a powerhouse slate of programming aimed at delighting TV connoisseurs with the best series the world has to offer. Leading the way this September is Paris Police 1900 (Studio Canal), an eight-part historical French crime drama set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century during the tumultuous time of the Dreyfus Affair. The growing antisemitism in France in this period is woven into the backdrop of a police investigation into the murder of an unknown woman found in a suitcase floating in the Seine. The young and ambitious Inspector Antoine Jouin (Jérémie Lahuerta) ends up investigating more than a murder as he uncovers state secrets and corruption. Jouin's dramatic pursuit of justice is peppered with depictions of real events and historical figures set against the opulence of La Belle Epoque.
Fast forwarding in time from the early 1900s to the 1970s and '80s, MHz Choice premieres a pair of retro French comedies replete with floppy hair, aviator sunglasses and computers that come in sizes big and bigger. Debuting this September, UFOs (Studio Canal) is set in 1978 and starts with a literal bang as space engineer Didier Mathure (Melvil Poupaud) watches helplessly as his expensive government funded rocket explodes on takeoff. The launch debacle pushes Didier's career to the edge of a cliff, but he is given one last chance to make his way back into the good graces of the national space program as the head of an eccentric research group tasked with finding scientific explanations for all UFO sightings! Didier's disdain for his new role only sharpens his scientific approach, and the facts lead him and the show into the realm of an unexpected government conspiracy thriller with quirky characters and even quirkier comic edges.
Later this fall (November) is Cheeky Business (Mediawan), set in the Parisian suburbs in the early 1980s, is a fictional tale of the invention of the first adult messaging service using the Minitel - a videotext online service accessible through telephone lines in France. In the space of ten half-hour episodes, three unlikely friends and college students stumble upon the idea to pose as women who exchange erotic messages with men over the Minitel network for a fee. Simon (Arthur Mazet) is the quintessential nerd who manages to tap into the potential of a nationwide messaging network, Stéphanie (Noémie Schmidt) is a budding entrepreneur in desperate need of tuition cash and Toni (Paul Scarfoglio) is bold enough to get the whole thing started. Pimps and prostitutes also get involved as the business goes national, right under the noses of Simon's seemingly traditional parents - whose attic becomes the business' unofficial headquarters for a while. Friendship, rivalry, sex, and false appearances are the early hallmarks of what becomes the internet age, and all hilariously collide in this funny and addictive series.
Rounding out September are two new dramas from Italy and Wales. Based on the novels by Massimo Carlotto, The Alligator (Rai Com) is a modern Italian Noir that begins with Marco Buratti (Matteo Martani) being released from prison after seven years for crimes he didn't commit. A former blues singer, Marco's time in prison gave him a newfound passion for justice. Now on the outside, Marco embarks on a career as a private eye, using his hard-earned skills and underworld connections to good advantage.
New from Wales, Fflam (Videoplugger) stars Gwyneth Keyworth (Hidden, Black Mirror, The Crown, Game of Thrones) as Noni, a young woman with a tragic past who is preparing to move into her dream home with her loving partner. A chance encounter with a man she believes to be Tim, her late husband who was killed in a fire, risks destroying the new life she's worked so hard to build. As a central figure, Noni is not a quintessential victim of her past or a passive bystander to the events around her. Gwyneth Keyworth describes her complexity as a reason she enjoyed playing Noni. "Yes, she is brave, stubborn and does what she wants, but people still take advantage. She's not completely innocent either." The central mystery of Noni's sighting plays out over six half-hour episodes.
Moving well beyond the pre-internet era to the present day are two new series which explore modern friendship and connection. Premiering this October and the first series from Japan to appear on MHz Choice, Pension Metsä (Videoplugger) takes place in and around a one-room guest house nestled in the Nagano larch forest. The guest house is owned by Tenko (Satomi Kobayashi), who finds herself in deep conversations with her visitors who are often lost or at a key turning point in their lives. It may seem like the guests are the ones learning new things about themselves, but in the end it's Tenko who finds a fresh direction in life. Each 30-minute episode features a single guest star, including an appearance in Episode 6 by actress Tôko Miura, who played the young chauffeur Misaki in the Oscar-winning feature Drive My Car.
The fast-paced comedy series Ordinary People (REinvent Studios) hails from Iceland and centers around the friendship of Vala (Vala Kristin Eiriksdottir) and Júlíana (Júlíana Sara Gunnarsdóttir). Best friends since drama school, Vala and Júlíana have taken different paths in life with Vala in unsuccessful pursuit of an acting career while Júlíana has stepped away from acting to have two children with her husband Tómas (Halldór Halldórsson). Decidedly in the "Me Too" era, Vala has a disastrous encounter with studio bros who are looking to paper over their past reputations with a female-lead production. They end up inviting both Vala and her "funny friend" Júlíana to host their own TV show. Rather than co-hosting a talk show, Vala ends up relegated to a sidekick character. Everything is tested – friendship, marriage, motherhood, ambition – as success is unevenly distributed between the two friends.

Bill banning ‘Carolina Squat’ passes South Carolina Senate
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) - A popular vehicle modification seen in Horry County may soon be outlawed statewide.
The South Carolina Senate gave final approval Tuesday to a bill that would ban what’s known as the “Carolina Squat.” It’s typically defined as being when the front end of a truck or SUV is higher than the back end.
A similar bill was brought before state lawmakers in the last General Session, but it didn’t make it to Gov. Henry McMaster’s desk.
The Senate-passed bill would ban modifications “that result in the motor vehicle’s front fender being raised four or more inches above the height of the rear fender.”
FULL BILL | Senate Bill 363
It also passed with an amendment stating that only tickets would be issued as penalties for the first 180 days after the bill takes effect, a suggestion that was made by Myrtle Beach Police Chief Amy Prock last month.
If signed into law, it would also call for $100 fines for first-time offenders and $200 for the second time after the 180-day period.
The bill also calls for those with three or more offenses to face more fines and even potentially have their driver’s license suspended for a year.
It’s unclear when the South Carolina House of Representatives will take up the legislation. Similar bills were also pre-filed in the House prior to the current General Session.
It’s also already banned in North Carolina and Virginia.

Elden Ring is one of the biggest games ever made, and that's a great thing. It's one of the only major blockbusters gamers have gotten to sink their teeth into so far this year. Alongside other notable titles like Horizon Forbidden West and Pokemon Legends: Arceus, however, Elden Ring launched in the first quarter of 2022. It's been a dry few months since -- but thankfully, that's about to change.
The second half of 2022 has many offerings for gamers of all interests, whether it's uber-long RPGs, online shooters or horror adventures that are your thing. There are an unfortunate few games, however, that were meant to hit shelves by the end of the year but which have been delayed. Starfield and Hogwarts Legacy are among them.
Here are all the gaming release dates of 2022 you need to know.
Saints Row
Release date: Aug. 23
Saints Row is getting a reboot; the fifth game in the series will simply be known as Saints Row. It'll have the same open-world sandbox that the series is known for -- set in an approximation of the US' southwest -- but will strike a more serious tone than the wild and wacky Saints Row IV.
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Release date: Sept. 1
September is a big month for Lord of the Rings fans. Amazon Studios' The Rings of Power series will launch, and then there's Gollum. The unsightly rascal is the star of his own game, where he'll use stealth to outmaneuver orcs -- and occasionally overpower them -- in his quest to retrieve The One Ring. We haven't seen a deluge of footage yet, but the game is slated for a Sept. 1 launch on PlayStation and Xbox, followed by a Switch version on Nov. 30.
Last of Us Part 1 Remake
Release date: Sept. 2
Last of Us Part 2 took Naughty Dog's horror franchise into the stratosphere. It sold over 10 million copies, and recieved overwhelming critical acclaim. That's renewed interest in the first Last of Us, which originally hit the PlayStation 3 in 2013. The Last of Us Part 1 is getting the remake treatment, with updated graphics and controls, plus integration of PS5 goodies like DualSense functionality and 3D Audio.
The Last of Us' remake has gotten some blowback from gamers, who've called it an unnecessary money-grab -- it'll retail for $70, and comes after the game was already remastered for PS4. One of the game's animators, Robert Morrison, rejected that criticism via a tweet. He called it "the most meticulously built and crafted project that I have ever seen or been a part of."
Splatoon 3
Release date: Sept. 9
Splatoon's high concept is genius -- and extremely Nintendo. It takes the traditionally violent first-person shooter and flips it on its head. You're shooting paint, not bullets. You don't score points for shooting enemies, you score points by shooting the environment itself. Splatoon 2 is one of the Nintendo Switch's essential family fun games, though it soon may be usurped by Splatoon 3, which hits the Switch on Sept. 9.
Overwatch 2
Release date: Oct. 4
Overwatch rules, we all know this. Overwatch 2 tweaks the format, making the squad-based shooter a 5v5 affair instead of the original's 6v6. It also adds co-op gameplay, in case you want to shoot with your buds instead of against them. The biggest change is that you won't have to pay to play Overwatch 2. Blizzard is shifting to a free-to-play model with battle passes and new content every season. Players will get a new hero or map every nine weeks, with the developers committing to updates in perpetuity. The hope is that the new model will combat the content drought that plagued the original.
Overwatch 2 launches on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, the Nintendo Switch and PC.
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope
Release date: Oct. 20
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle was a brilliant game, melding the two beloved franchises with surprisingly deep strategy gameplay. Sparks of Hope takes the cast of characters out of the Mushroom Kingdom and into outer space, though the scenery isn't the only change. The game will add a heavier dose of combat into its strategy gameplay, as seen in a recent trailer, but hopefully will retain the charm that made the first one so lovable.
High on Life
Release date: Oct. 25
In a year filled with Gods of War and Calls of Duty, it's nice to mix some new IP in. High on Life is a first-person shooter devised by Justin Roiland, the co-creator of Rick and Morty. The trailer makes the game look exactly like you might think: a quirky, colorful sci-fi adventure. High on Life is exclusive to Xbox, though it'll be available on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S.
Gotham Knights
Release date: Oct. 25.
The Suicide Squad game was delayed until 2023, but DC fans aren't completely out of luck. Batman is apparently dead in Gotham Knights, which means others need to fill the Caped Crusader's shoes. With no Batman, you'll play as Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood and Batgirl are in charge of protecting Gotham. This open-world RPG sees you play as all four chracters, each with different strengths and weaknesses, and encourages co-op play. It's out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on Oct. 25.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Release date: Oct. 28
It feels silly, at this point, to write a little blurb about what to expect from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It's the 19th game in the illustrious franchise, and takes the series out of Vanguard's World War 2 setting and sets it in... modern warfare.
If you like Call of Duty games, the next one is out on Oct. 28.
God of War: Ragnarok
Release date: Nov. 9
Ragnarok is a followup to God of War, one of the PlayStation 4's best games. There's a lot going on in Ragnarok: The world is potentially ending, Kratos is seeking the Norse God of War, and a very angry Thor is hot on his track. It's the second and final God of War set in Norse mythology and was originally meant to hit the PS4 and PS5 last year. It'll be one of the year's highlights if it can recapture the greatness of its predecessor.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Release date: Nov. 18
Pokemon Legends: Arceus was clearly a pivot by Nintendo. It's no surprise that the next Pokemon games, Scarlet and Violet, adopt the real-time action template of Legends: Arceus -- but it is a big surprise that we're getting the new Pokemon games so soon. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet hit the Nintendo Switch on Nov. 18, about 10 months after Legends: Arceus. We don't know too much about the games yet, other than some sneak peeks into its starter and legendary Pokemon, but that's nothing a surprise Nintendo Direct presentation can't fix.
Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core Reunion
Release date: TBC (2022)
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is the long-awaited sequel to 2020's Remake, and will hit the PlayStation 5 next winter. To give fans a little something while they wait, Square Enix is bringing out a remake of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7. Crisis Core, originally released for the PSP in 2007, is a prequel to Final Fantasy 7, and focuses on Zack Faire, a mentor to Cloud Strife. The remake is a big deal because Square Enix has been uncharacteristically coy about remastering the game, or porting it to any other platform. If you've wanted to play Crisis Core in the past 15 years, you needed to own a PSP. That'll change with Crisis Core Reunion, which hits PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, the Nintendo Switch and Windows late this year.
Delayed to 2023
Many games that were promised for 2022 have been delayed to the next calendar year.
Hogwarts Legacy
Release date: February, 2023.
Hogwarts Legacy is an ambitious game. It's open world, and set in 19th century Hogwarts, many years before the emergence of He Who Must Not Be Named and The Boy Who Lived. Harry Potter fans are understandably excited at the prospect of exploring a living, breathing Hogwarts, learning spells and taming magical beasts. Partially due to those high expectations, the game was delayed from its original 2021 release window -- twice. It's now set for a February, 2023 launch on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. A later release on the Switch is planned too.
Starfield
Release date: First half of 2023
Starfield was one of the most hyped games of the year. A new IP from Bethesda, creator of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, it's been described as "Skyrim in Space." But ambitious games take time. Originally slated for a November release, Starfield is now scheduled to hit Xbox One, X and S, and PC in the first half of 2023.
Redfall
Release date: First half of 2023
Redfall is a team shooter from the company that brought you Dishonored and Deathloop. It's centered around a zombie invasion of the town of Redfall, Massachusetts, and will be first-person, open world and best played with friends. The trailer hints at a game brimming with charm and character -- but we'll have to wait until 2023 to experience it properly.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Release date: First half of 2023
In 2021 the Guardians of the Galaxy got to shine. This year was meant to be the Suicide Squad's turn, but Kill the Justice League is now delayed until 2023.
Featuring the baddies from the recent flicks, including Harley Quinn, King Shark and Deadshot, you'll act as a team to take down the Justice League. The most recent trailer saw the Suicide Squad's attempt to neutralize The Flash. The dynamic combat looks extremely dope.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
Release date: 2023
It's the sequel to one of the best games of all time, and Nintendo said it would come out in 2022. We all knew, deep down in our hearts, that might not happen. In March it was made official: Breath of the Wild 2 is a 2023 game. | https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/game-release-dates-of-2022-the-biggest-titles-still-coming/ | 2022-08-15 02:14:29 | 0 | https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/game-release-dates-of-2022-the-biggest-titles-still-coming/ |
BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Legends Collective announces the launch of CAlegends.com, a NIL platform that empowers UC Berkeley student-athletes to secure name, image, and likeness income opportunities. This platform, created in partnership with Beastmode Marketing, will allow Cal fans, alums, supporters, and brands to peruse its site loaded exclusively with Cal athletes to book players and teams for various services. Utilizing proprietary PlayBooked.com technology, the fully customized and secure online platform also allows the California Legends Collective to manage all aspects of its collective needs in one place.
"We've been working hard to create something we could all be proud of," said Kevin Kennedy, president, founding sponsor, and co-executive director of the California Legends Collective. "It was important to us that this be done the Cal way—in full compliance with NCAA regulations and empowering all our student-athletes to take full advantage of the vast opportunities presented by attending the world's No. 1 ranked university. We decided the best university in the world deserved the best Collective, and that's what we've created."
By partnering with Beastmode Marketing, the California Legends Collective has engaged with former Cal running back, NFL star turned entrepreneur Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn Lynch stated, "I'm always open to finding ways to help current and future Bears, and this is a really special opportunity that I had to push play on. This partnership is gonna be hella fun, and it's not just about NIL money. Our focus is also on education and sharing our experiences to help Cal athletes with financial literacy, staying healthy, brand building, being a pro, and staying connected with your community."
Kevin Kennedy said, "To have this kind of exclusive connection to a Cal legend and one who is currently running a major sports and lifestyle brand, and marketing company is amazing and something no other school will be able to replicate. And Marshawn's industry-leading role in ensuring athletes make smart investment decisions and maximize their personal brands makes him an ideal person to spearhead our efforts. We are so grateful to have him as our partner."
But Marshawn Lynch isn't the only Cal great involved with the California Legends Collective. The Collective's founding advisory board members include football star DeSean Jackson; Layshia Clarendon, a WNBA all-star and Cal's 4th all-time leading scorer; and Val Arioto, Cal's greatest women's softball player ever. "They are all true legends, and we are so fortunate to have them," said Stephanie Rivera, co-executive director and one of the Collective's founding sponsors.
"There isn't a Cal fan, or an NFL fan, who doesn't know who DeSean Jackson is and doesn't remember his play for Cal. So to have his involvement and his unique tie-in to the Southern California football community is incredible."
Using CAlegends.com, fans can purchase California Legends Collective merchandise, book a live chat or video shout-out with a student-athlete, subscribe to support various teams, or make financial contributions. The site also empowers businesses and charities that want to hire a Cal student-athlete for marketing campaigns or to promote an event can now easily do so. "We wanted to create maximum flexibility for our student-athletes and fans," said Kevin Kennedy. "Fans can go onto CAlegends.com and choose which Cal team, position group, or individual player they want to support financially. They can do this in various ways, by subscribing to that team, group, or player at various dollar levels and receiving unique benefits depending on the subscription amount. Do you want to attend a Cal football game with Marshawn Lynch? Well, we can make that happen for you. Fans just log on and select how they want to participate."
The California Legends Collective's mission is always to place the student-athlete interests first. Stephanie Rivera stated, "My husband Ron and I were both student-athletes at Cal, so we know what a platform like this will mean for the students. Being a student-athlete at a school like Cal is itself a full-time job. These students don't have the time to hold part-time jobs, and with the new NIL regulations, they can now realize the full benefits of their association with Cal. It was essential for our Collective to allow all of Cal's student-athletes, no matter their sport, to have these opportunities. At Cal, inclusivity and diversity are some of our core values, and we wanted our Collective to reflect that."
About the California Legends Collective
Founded by a dedicated group of UC Berkeley alumni and fans, the California Legends Collective is an independent NIL collective. The CAlegends.com digital platform connects fans, supporters, businesses, and charitable organizations with the University of California student-athletes while empowering each athlete to monetize their name, image, and likeness. We are not formally associated with or sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley. To learn more, go to CAlegends.com.

As Alex Murdaugh sits in prison cell, legal woes continue
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Alex Murdaugh may be serving a life sentence for killing his wife and son, but the legal system is far from done with him.
As he sat in his South Carolina prison cell this week, Murdaugh’s lawyers dealt with large financial claims against him.
They told an insurer looking to force him to repay $3.4 million it awarded in a wrongful death settlement over Murdaugh’s housekeeper that he lied about the circumstances of her death. Murdaugh’s first version of events was designed to force the insurer to pay, the lawyers said. The imprisoned Murdaugh now says he doesn’t remember the events of five years ago.
Meanwhile, Jim Griffin, who helped lead the defense in the murder case, is asking Judge Daniel Hall to release an additional $160,000 from Murdaugh’s retirement account to pay for his appeal of his life sentence because the six-week trial exhausted the $600,000 they were initially given.
Murdaugh, 54, was convicted in March. Prosecutors said he stole millions of dollars and found himself teetering on financial disaster, which led him to shoot to death his 22-year-old son, Paul, and 52-year-old wife, Maggie, at their Colleton County home.
Also pending against Murdaugh is a lawsuit filed by the family of Mallory Beach. They say she was killed when Paul Murdaugh drove a boat into a bridge piling while he was drunk in 2019. Her family sued the Murdaughs and the owner of the convenience store that sold the underage Paul the beer.
According to media reports, Greg Parker’s lawyer argued Wednesday that he and his stores should be dismissed from the lawsuit because Paul Murdaugh had a duplicate of his older brother’s driver’s license and the clerk did quickly glance at it. Parker also showed footage from a Netflix documentary that showed Paul’s friends discussing how he liked drinking when driving the boat and that Beach knew the risk when she hung out with them.
Almost all of Murdaugh’s assets are frozen as courts sift through claims from the clients whom he allegedly stole from and others who have sued. But he was allowed to pay his attorneys though $600,000 out of his 401K retirement account since that money was legitimately earned.
The officials appointed to control Murdaugh’s money are against giving his lawyers more. But Griffin said the six-week murder trial was more complex and longer than expected.
Murdaugh’s lawyers are also fighting a lawsuit against him filed by Nautilus Insurance Co., which paid out nearly $4 million to settle claims in the aftermath of the death of his longtime housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield.
Satterfield’s family said they never received the money. Eric Bland, the family’s attorney, said Murdaugh never told them about the settlement and pocketed the money after convincing Satterfield’s sons to use a lawyer as their representative who was a family friend. Nautilus is suing in federal court to get the money back.
Murdaugh’s lawyers suggested Nautilus take legal action against Satterfield’s family members, saying they collected more than $7 million in settlements and other fees. However, Bland said Nautilus has no claim against the family because they didn’t receive the insurance money.
Its investigators should have looked more thoroughly into Murdaugh’s account of Satterfield’s death — which changed recently — before paying, Bland said. Murdaugh previously said Satterfield died in a fall but now says he doesn’t remember.
“This is nothing but noise,” Bland said. “Just gutless people trying to continue to victimize Gloria’s siblings and children.”
Murdaugh is awaiting trial on over 100 other criminal charges, including insurance fraud for trying to arrange his own death and money laundering. He also is charged with tax evasion. From 2011 to 2021, Murdaugh made about $16 million as a lawyer, while stealing about $9 million from his law firm, settlement money for clients and other places, according to indictments.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Republican state lawmaker has been charged with a felony crime of being in control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol following his October arrest outside an Edmond, Oklahoma, bar.

Article continues below this ad
Rep. Ryan Martinez, 37, was charged Thursday in Oklahoma County with actual physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated, court records show. If convicted of a felony, Martinez would be prohibited from serving in the state Legislature. The charge against Martinez was first reported by the online media organization The Frontier.
Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could speak on Martinez’s behalf and a message left with his office seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Edmond police were dispatched to the Patriarch bar Oct. 26 after someone reported seeing Martinez stumble while getting into a vehicle, according to a police affidavit. When police arrived and found Martinez in the vehicle, he admitted to officers that he had between three and four drinks. Martinez did not submit to a breathalyzer test, but appeared to be intoxicated during standardized field sobriety tests, the affidavit notes.

By JOHN FLESHER and ED WHITE
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A jury on Friday acquitted two men of all charges in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer but couldn’t reach verdicts against the two alleged leaders, a stunning defeat for the government after a weekslong trial that centered on a remarkable FBI sting operation just before the 2020 election.
Whitmer did not immediately comment on the outcome, though her chief of staff was critical, saying Americans are “living through the normalization of political violence.”
The result was announced on the fifth day of deliberations, a few hours after the jury said it has been struggling to find unanimity on the charges in the 10-count indictment. The judge told the panel to keep working, but jurors emerged again after lunch to say they still were deadlocked on some counts.
Daniel Harris, 24, and Brandon Caserta, 33, were found not guilty of conspiracy. In addition, Harris was acquitted of charges related to explosives and a gun.
The jury could not reach verdicts for Adam Fox, 38, and Barry Croft Jr., 46, which means the government can put them on trial again for two conspiracy charges. Croft also faces a separate explosives charge. They’ll remain in custody.
No juror spoke publicly about the mixed result.
“Obviously we’re disappointed with the outcome. … We have two defendants that are awaiting trial and we’ll get back to work on that,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge said.
Harris and Caserta embraced their lawyers when U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said they were free after 18 months in jail awaiting trial. Family members moments earlier gasped and cried with joy when the verdicts were read.
Their arrests in Michigan came amid upheaval in the U.S.; The year had started with pandemic lockdowns then shifted to armed Capitol protests over COVID-19 restrictions ordered by Whitmer and other governors. By late May, anger over racial injustice and the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police erupted into demonstrations in cities nationwide.
In a Grand Rapids courtroom, during 13 days of testimony, prosecutors offered evidence from undercover agents, a crucial informant and two men who pleaded guilty to the plot. Jurors also read and heard secretly recorded conversations, violent social media posts and chat messages.
Ty Garbin, who pleaded guilty and is serving a six-year prison sentence, said the plan was to get Whitmer and cause enough chaos to trigger a civil war before the election , keeping Joe Biden from winning the presidency.
Garbin and Kaleb Franks, who also pleaded guilty and testified for the government, were among the six who were arrested in October 2020 amid talk of raising $4,000 for an explosive to blow up a bridge and stymie any police response to a kidnapping, according to trial testimony.
Prosecutors said the group was steeped in anti-government extremism and furious over Whitmer’s pandemic restrictions. There was evidence of a crudely built “shoot house” to practice going in and out of her vacation home, and a night ride by Croft, Fox and covert operatives to check the property.
But defense lawyers portrayed the men as credulous weekend warriors, often stoned on marijuana and prone to big, wild talk. They said FBI agents and informants tricked and cajoled the men into targeting the governor.
During closing arguments a week ago, Fox’s attorney, Christopher Gibbons, said the plan was “utter nonsense,” and he pleaded with jurors to be the “firewall” against the government.
Harris was the only defendant to testify in his own defense, repeatedly telling jurors “absolutely not” when asked if he had targeted the governor.
“I think what the FBI did is unconscionable,” Caserta’s attorney, Michael Hills, said outside court. “And I think the jury just sent them a message loud and clear that these tactics — we’re not going to condone what they’ve done here.”
Gibbons said the acquittals of Harris and Caserta demonstrated some serious shortcomings in the government’s case.
“We’ll be ready for another trial. … We’ll eventually get what we wanted out of this, which is the truth and the justice I think Adam is entitled to,” Gibbons said.
Meanwhile, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist said the “outcome is disappointing.” Whitmer’s office released a tough reaction from the governor’s chief of staff, JoAnne Huls.
“The plot to kidnap and kill a governor may seem like an anomaly. But we must be honest about what it really is: The result of violent, divisive rhetoric that is all too common across our country,” Huls said. “There must be accountability and consequences for those who commit heinous crimes. Without accountability, extremists will be emboldened.”
Deliberations resumed earlier Friday with a court employee handing jurors a large plastic bag containing pennies, known as evidence exhibit 291. The pennies were requested before jurors went home Thursday.
Pennies taped to a commercial-grade firework were intended to act like shrapnel against Whitmer’s security team, according to the government.
The trial covered 20 days since March 8, including jury selection, evidence, final arguments and jury deliberations. Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, wasn’t a trial witness and didn’t attend. She rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to “surprises” during her term that seemed like “something out of fiction” when she filed for reelection on March 17.
She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.
The pool of 50-plus juror candidates were drawn from a 22-county region of western Michigan that is largely rural, Republican and conservative.
A jury of six women and six men heard the case, as well as four alternates. Little is known about them. Citing privacy, Jonker ordered that they be only identified by numbers. Two jurors were dismissed during the trial because of illness.
The jury pool was drawn from a 22-county region in western and northern Michigan that is largely rural, Republican and conservative. Several people were dismissed after saying they had strong feelings about Whitmer — positive or negative — or the government.
Matthew Schneider, a former U.S. attorney in Detroit, believes prosecutors “could have done a better job” of learning about the backgrounds and personal views of some jurors who were called up near the end of the all-day selection process.
“The government had laid out its case. The jury didn’t believe it,” Schneider said of the verdict.
Separately, authorities in state court are prosecuting eight men who are accused of aiding the group that was on trial in federal court.

Flogistix to open El Reno Campus
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mims Talton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Flogistix, is pleased to announce the expansion of the company's manufacturing capabilities with a new facility located in El Reno, Oklahoma. With this addition, Flogistix will have 259,000 square feet of manufacturing space for vapor recovery units (VRU) and other compression technologies and will scale up to a facility workforce of more than 150 people.
"With this new facility, Flogistix will be able to meet the high demand for our products," said Talton. "Our VRUs and data-driven technology are crucial in helping the oil and gas industry reduce methane emissions, increase revenue, and stay compliant with increasing government regulations."
The addition of the El Reno campus is in direct response to the rising demand for Flogistix's vapor recovery units and a strong commitment to meeting customer needs. It also signals confidence in the oil and gas industry and the El Reno community. The new facility is slated to open in July with an open house scheduled for August 4.
Vapor recovery technology reduces the need to vent and flare because the emissions that would have been burned or released are captured and sold. Flogistix provides atmospheric solutions that are an effective tool for decarbonization and crucial to providing reliable and affordable energy to the world.
"We are fortunate to have a company like Flogistix expanding into our community providing good quality jobs to our citizens," said Mayor Matt White. "The city of El Reno is happy to be partnering with Flogistix on this endeavor and knows the resources available including our outstanding CV Tech will provide support and opportunities to this project."
"As a company headquartered in Oklahoma, we are dedicated to this state," Talton said. "We are proud to invest in El Reno and its people, and we are committed to a long-term presence in the community."
Real Estate specialist Travis Mason of Cushman Wakefield and landlord OKC West Industrial Park helped finalize the deal.
A leader in production optimization and atmospheric solutions, Flogistix specializes in well-head compression, vapor recovery applications, and methane detection. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Flogistix operates in nearly every major U.S. shale play and basin and provides service through 14 regional field offices and warehouses located in 7 states.

Biden to nominate Julie Su as next US labor secretary
President Joe Biden is nominating Julie Su, the current deputy and former California official, as his next labor secretary, replacing the departing incumbent, former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.
Su, a civil rights attorney and former head of California’s labor department, was central to negotiations between labor and freight rail companies late last year, working to avert an economically debilitating strike. She also has worked to broaden employee training programs and crack down on wage theft. If confirmed by the Senate, Su would also be the first Asian-American in the Biden administration to serve in the Cabinet at the secretary level.
Biden, in a statement on Tuesday, called her a “champion for workers.”
“Julie is a tested and experienced leader, who will continue to build a stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive economy that provides Americans a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead,” he said. “She helped avert a national rail shutdown, improved access to good jobs free from discrimination through my Good Jobs Initiative, and is ensuring that the jobs we create in critical sectors like semiconductor manufacturing, broadband and healthcare are good-paying, stable and accessible jobs for all.”
Su was considered to lead the department when Biden won the White House but instead became the department’s deputy. Walsh announced his intention to leave the administration earlier this month to lead the National Hockey League Players’ Association. Su will serve as the acting secretary until the Senate acts on her nomination.
Biden had been under pressure from the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and other Asian American and Pacific Islander advocates to select Su to head the department. This administration was the first in more than two decades to not have a Cabinet secretary of AAPI descent, despite its regular declarations that it was the most diverse in history. Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai are of AAPI descent but don’t lead a Cabinet department.
Su, if confirmed, would also expand the majority of women serving in the president’s Cabinet. She was confirmed by the Senate to her current role in 2021 by a 50–47 vote.
Su’s nomination drew swift support from Democrats on Capitol Hill, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer saying she would be “phenomenal” in the job.
“The president couldn’t have picked a better nominee,” he told reporters. “I’m really excited about her, and we’re going to move to consider her nomination very, very quickly.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who will preside over Su’s confirmation hearing as chair of the Senate health, education, labor and pensions committee, praised the selection. Sanders had urged consideration of Sara Nelson, the president of the flight attendants union, but made clear Su had his strong support.
“I’m confident Julie Su will be an excellent Secretary of Labor,” he tweeted. “I look forward to working with her to protect workers’ rights and build the trade union movement in this country.”
In a tweet, Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., who chairs the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, praised the selection and thanked Biden for “nominating your first AAPI Cabinet Secretary!”
“I am elated that President Biden is nominating Julie Su to be our nation’s next Labor Secretary,” Chu wrote. “She’s eminently qualified to lead the Department and will successfully deliver results for our workers on Day 1.”
Her nomination also comes at a key moment for labor unions, which have been facing a decline in membership for decades. Unions gained some momentum as workers at major employers such as Amazon and Starbucks pushed to unionize. But Biden — an avowed pro-union president — had to work with Congress to impose a contract on rail workers last year to avoid a possible strike.
The Labor Department said just 10.1% of workers last year were union members. That figure has been cut nearly in half since 1983 and could fall further, as younger workers are less likely to belong to unions.
“There’s no one more dedicated and qualified to defend the fundamental rights of working people than Julie Su,” said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. “It’s her life’s work.”

Two astrophotographers have teamed up to produce an out of this world photo of the moon, capturing over 200,000 shots to create a single image.
Andrew McCarthy and Connor Matherne collaborated last November to push their photography skills to the limit. Their finished product was posted online Saturday, and is currently gaining lots of attention on Reddit.
The two stargazers first connected over Reddit and then Instagram, sharing and commenting on each other's work over the past three or four years. After recognizing one another's strengths in photography, they decided to team up for a photoshoot of Earth's moon.
"When he and I put our heads together we were able to make something a little off brand for both of us, which is cool," McCarthy told NPR. "The whole thing is assembled like a mosaic, and each tile is made up of thousands of photos."
McCarthy said he specializes in detailed photographs, taking tens of thousands of photos to capture the geographical features on the moon's surface. Matherne, who prefers to shoot deep space photos, specializes in colors.
Over the course of a single evening, McCarthy shot over 200,000 detailed photos of the moon from Arizona, while Matherne shot another 500 images from Louisiana to capture color data. They combined their work by stacking the photos on top of one another to create a detailed image of the moon in spectacular color.
"Andrew aimed purely for the detail side whereas I aimed purely for the color side," Matherne said. "That allowed us to get the full moon."
They spent the next nine months bouncing edits and ideas off one another about the edits, using photo editing programs to help produce the best image possible.
Matherne and McCarthy said though their work is technical, it's not out of reach for other photo enthusiasts. All that's required is a camera, tripod and a star tracker. Aspiring astrophotographers can take their work to the next level by purchasing a telescope, but the two said it's best to develop basic photo skills before taking that next step.
But astrophotography isn't as simple as point and shoot. One of the most difficult parts of the job, McCarthy said, is practicing patience.
A successful shoot relies heavily on clear skies and limited light pollution. Most nights McCarthy walks away empty handed, but that makes successful shoots all the more meaningful.
"If you can't handle that, then you're not going to get to the point where you're getting these great pictures," he said. "Anybody can do it, but it takes a special temperament."

BERLIN (AP) — A German woman who allegedly abused a Yazidi slave while in Islamic State-held territory in Syria has been charged with crimes against humanity and other offenses, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
The woman, identified only as Jalda A. in keeping with German privacy laws, was arrested upon her arrival back in Germany on Oct. 7. Before her repatriation, she had been held captive by Kurdish forces since late 2017.
She was charged with membership in a foreign terrorist organization, crimes against humanity, war crimes and being an accessory to genocide, prosecutors said in a statement.
The suspect traveled in April 2014 via Turkey to Syria, according to prosecutors, where she quickly married an IS fighter and gave birth to a son the following year. When her first husband died, she married two other men in succession.
She lived with the third man in and near the Syrian city of Mayadin from September to October 2017, prosecutors said, adding that the husband kept a Yazidi woman as a slave and regularly raped her with the suspect’s knowledge.
The suspect also physically abused the woman “almost every day,” according to prosecutors. She allegedly punched and kicked the woman, pulled her hair, and slammed her head against the wall, and on one occasion hit the woman in the head with a flashlight.
In addition, prosecutors said, the suspect constantly watched the woman and repeatedly told her to pray according to Islamic custom, an act that “served the stated goal of the IS, to eradicate the Yazidi faith.”
The indictment was filed last month at the state court in Hamburg, which will have to decide whether and when to open a trial. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/german-court-charges-is-returnee-over-alleged-slave-abuse/ | 2022-04-12 19:34:16 | 0 | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/german-court-charges-is-returnee-over-alleged-slave-abuse/ |
Sprint car driver helps 80 people as organ donor after dying at racetrack
LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (WXIX/Gray News) - A sprint car racer will help dozens of people waiting for organs after he died at a racetrack in Indiana.
WXIX reports that 26-year-old Justin Owen died last weekend at the Lawrenceburg Speedway.
“I knew he was going really fast, and the impact was violent,” Justin’s father, Scott Owen, said. “He couldn’t steer after impact and just went straight to the wall.”
Justin Owen was competing in the USAC AMSOIL sprint car international championship when the crash occurred. His vehicle flipped multiple times.
“It’s been awful. It’s the worst thing that I could ever imagine,” Scott Owen said.
Justin Owen was recently promoted at work, engaged and coming off his best racing season winning the Lawrenceburg Championship.
His father said he is devastated after losing his son.
“I wake up, and the next thing you know, you’re just lying on the floor crying,” Scott Owen said.
Racing was part of Justin Owen’s life from a young age. His father said the two raced every weekend since his son was 6.
“It was what he loved,” Scott Owen said. “It was his passion.”
Now, Scott Owen wants people to remember his son for what he did off the track, the way he made people laugh and brightened every room he entered.
According to his father, Justin Owen will also help others in death by being an organ donor.
“He is helping 80 people,” Scott Owen said.
The Owen family said a funeral for the 26-year-old is scheduled for Thursday at the Spring Grove Cemetery.
“He joked and said, ‘If I die, I want to die in a racecar,’” Scott Owen said. “We were obviously kidding around and never thought it would happen.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sounding alarms about artificial intelligence has become a popular pastime in the ChatGPT era, taken up by high-profile figures as varied as industrialist Elon Musk, leftist intellectual Noam Chomsky and the 99-year-old retired statesman Henry Kissinger.
But it’s the concerns of insiders in the AI research community that are attracting particular attention. A pioneering researcher and the so-called “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton quit his role at Google so he could more freely speak about the dangers of the technology he helped create.
Over his decades-long career, Hinton’s pioneering work on deep learning and neural networks helped lay the foundation for much of the AI technology we see today.
There has been a spasm of AI introductions in recent months. San Francisco-based startup OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed company behind ChatGPT, rolled out its latest artificial intelligence model, GPT-4, in March. Other tech giants have invested in competing tools — including Google’s “Bard.”
Some of the dangers of AI chatbots are “quite scary,” Hinton told the BBC. “Right now, they’re not more intelligent than us, as far as I can tell. But I think they soon may be.”
In an interview with MIT Technology Review, Hinton also pointed to “bad actors” that may use AI in ways that could have detrimental impacts on society — such as manipulating elections or instigating violence.
Hinton, 75, says he retired from Google so that he could speak openly about the potential risks as someone who no longer works for the tech giant.
“I want to talk about AI safety issues without having to worry about how it interacts with Google’s business,” he told MIT Technology Review. “As long as I’m paid by Google, I can’t do that.”
Since announcing his departure, Hinton has maintained that Google has “acted very responsibly” regarding AI. He told MIT Technology Review that there’s also “a lot of good things about Google” that he would want to talk about — but those comments would be “much more credible if I’m not at Google anymore.”
Google confirmed that Hinton had retired from his role after 10 years overseeing the Google Research team in Toronto.
Hinton declined further comment Tuesday but said he would talk more about it at a conference Wednesday.
At the heart of the debate on the state of AI is whether the primary dangers are in the future or present. On one side are hypothetical scenarios of existential risk caused by computers that supersede human intelligence. On the other are concerns about automated technology that’s already getting widely deployed by businesses and governments and can cause real-world harms.
“For good or for not, what the chatbot moment has done is made AI a national conversation and an international conversation that doesn’t only include AI experts and developers,” said Alondra Nelson, who until February led the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and its push to craft guidelines around the responsible use of AI tools.
“AI is no longer abstract, and we have this kind of opening, I think, to have a new conversation about what we want a democratic future and a non-exploitative future with technology to look like,” Nelson said in an interview last month.
A number of AI researchers have long expressed concerns about racial, gender and other forms of bias in AI systems, including text-based large language models that are trained on huge troves of human writing and can amplify discrimination that exists in society.
“We need to take a step back and really think about whose needs are being put front and center in the discussion about risks,” said Sarah Myers West, managing director of the nonprofit AI Now Institute. “The harms that are being enacted by AI systems today are really not evenly distributed. It’s very much exacerbating existing patterns of inequality.”
Hinton was one of three AI pioneers who in 2019 won the Turing Award, an honor that has become known as tech industry’s version of the Nobel Prize. The other two winners, Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun, have also expressed concerns about the future of AI.
Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal, signed a petition in late March calling for tech companies to agree to a 6-month pause on developing powerful AI systems, while LeCun, a top AI scientist at Facebook parent Meta, has taken a more optimistic approach.

Personal loan interest rates soar for 3- and 5-year fixed-rate loans
Our goal here at Credible Operations, Inc., NMLS Number 1681276, referred to as "Credible" below, is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your finances. Although we do promote products from our partner lenders, all opinions are our own.
The latest trends in interest rates for personal loans from the Credible marketplace, updated weekly. (iStock)
Borrowers with good credit seeking personal loans during the past seven days prequalified for rates that were higher for both 3- and 5-year loans compared to the previous seven days.
For borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender between Oct. 27 and Nov. 2:
- Rates on 3-year fixed-rate loans averaged 13.52%, up from 12.45% the previous seven days and up from 10.88% a year ago.
- Rates on 5-year fixed-rate loans averaged 16.54%, up from 15.90% the previous seven days and up from 14.19% a year ago.
Personal loans have become a popular way to consolidate and pay off credit card debt and other loans. They can also be used to cover unexpected expenses like medical bills, take care of a major purchase or fund home improvement projects.
Personal loan interest rates surged over the last seven days for both 3- and 5-year fixed-rate loans. Rates for 5-year loans rose by 0.64 percentage points, while 3-year loans saw a larger increase of 1.07 percentage points. In addition to today's increases, interest rates for both loan terms are higher than they were this time last year. Still, borrowers can take advantage of interest savings with a 3- or 5-year personal loan right now. Both loan terms offer interest rates significantly lower than higher-cost borrowing options like credit cards.
Whether a personal loan is right for you often depends on multiple factors, including what rate you can qualify for. Comparing multiple lenders and their rates could help ensure you get the best possible personal loan for your needs.
It's always a good idea to comparison shop on sites like Credible to understand how much you qualify for and choose the best option for you.
Here are the latest trends in personal loan interest rates from the Credible marketplace, updated monthly.
Personal loan weekly rates trends
The chart above shows average prequalified rates for borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender.
For the month of October 2022:
- Rates on 3-year personal loans averaged 12.26%, up from 11.65% in September.
- Rates on 5-year personal loans averaged 15.84%, up from 15.60% in September.
Rates on personal loans vary considerably by credit score and loan term. If you're curious about what kind of personal loan rates you may qualify for, you can use an online tool like Credible to compare options from different private lenders. Checking your rates won't affect your credit score.
All Credible marketplace lenders offer fixed-rate loans at competitive rates. Because lenders use different methods to evaluate borrowers, it’s a good idea to request personal loan rates from multiple lenders so you can compare your options.
Current personal loan rates by credit score
In October, the average prequalified rate selected by borrowers was:
- 9.90% for borrowers with credit scores of 780 or above choosing a 3-year loan
- 29.90% for borrowers with credit scores below 600 choosing a 5-year loan
Depending on factors such as your credit score, which type of personal loan you’re seeking and the loan repayment term, the interest rate can differ.
As shown in the chart above, a good credit score can mean a lower interest rate, and rates tend to be higher on loans with fixed interest rates and longer repayment terms.
How to get a lower interest rate
Many factors influence the interest rate a lender might offer you on a personal loan. But you can take some steps to boost your chances of getting a lower interest rate. Here are some tactics to try.
Increase credit score
Generally, people with higher credit scores qualify for lower interest rates. Steps that can help you improve your credit score over time include:
- Pay bills on time. Payment history is the most important factor in your credit score. Pay all your bills on time for the amount due.
- Check your credit report. Look at your credit report to ensure there are no errors on it. If you find errors, dispute them with the credit bureau.
- Lower your credit utilization ratio. Paying down credit card debt can improve this important credit-scoring factor.
- Avoid opening new credit accounts. Only apply for and open credit accounts you actually need. Too many hard inquiries on your credit report in a short amount of time could lower your credit score.
Choose a shorter loan term
Personal loan repayment terms can vary from one to several years. Generally, shorter terms come with lower interest rates, since the lender’s money is at risk for a shorter period of time.
If your financial situation allows, applying for a shorter term could help you score a lower interest rate. Keep in mind the shorter term doesn’t just benefit the lender – by choosing a shorter repayment term, you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan.
Get a cosigner
You may be familiar with the concept of a cosigner if you have student loans. If your credit isn’t good enough to qualify for the best personal loan interest rates, finding a cosigner with good credit could help you secure a lower interest rate.
Just remember, if you default on the loan, your cosigner will be on the hook to repay it. And cosigning for a loan could also affect their credit score.
Compare rates from different lenders
Before applying for a personal loan, it’s a good idea to shop around and compare offers from several different lenders to get the lowest rates. Online lenders typically offer the most competitive rates – and can be quicker to disburse your loan than a brick-and-mortar establishment.
But don’t worry, comparing rates and terms doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process.
Credible makes it easy. Just enter how much you want to borrow and you’ll be able to compare multiple lenders to choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

PARIS — (AP) — The Olympics is on track to be back in business with millions of visitors coming to Paris for the 2024 Games.
The French capital has the expert experience to stage the event and welcome guests for the first Olympics of the post-pandemic era.
That should be a relief after a chaotic lead-in to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and uncertainty from postponing the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 with no guarantee it would eventually happen one year later. It did, but in almost entirely empty venues.
Organizers, athletes and fans preparing for competitions in Paris — and regional French cities like Lille and Marseille, plus the far-away surfing venue of Tahiti in the South Pacific — can be confident the show will go on.
Here’s a look at what we can expect from the 2024 Paris Olympics:
About 10 million tickets were made available for the Paris Olympics with 329 medal events in 32 different sports spread across 18 different days of competition.
Close to 7 million have already been sold with one year to go before the opening ceremony on July 26.
The system for selling tickets has been streamlined through the organizing committee's own online sales point and a new hospitality program run by American company On Location.
Organizers are directly selling about 8 million tickets with the promise that 1 million will be available for all sports priced at 24 euros ($26), and many more costing 50 euros ($55) or less.
Would-be buyers had to register for the chance to be allocated tickets in the first two sales phases but the current wave is first-come, first-served for events in cities outside Paris.
That could mean seeing arguably France’s two biggest stars: top NBA draft pick Victor Wembanyama in Lille and soccer great Kylian Mbappé in Marseille and Nice.
Lille, about three hours northeast of Paris, will stage all the group games in basketball at its soccer stadium. The cheapest seats at 50 euros ($55) remain for women’s games but expect now to pay 120-200 euros ($133-$221) to see a men’s game.
Mbappé wants to play for France as one of its three overage players in what is an under-23 tournament for men, and seats for 30 euros ($33) were available this week for its two scheduled group games in Marseille. The first is on July 24 when Olympic events start two days ahead of the opening ceremony. Expect to pay at least 50 euros ($55) to see France in Nice on July 27.
Soccer games will also be played in Bordeaux, Lyon, Nantes and Saint-Etienne as well as in Paris, at the Parc des Princes.
Those city authorities have an allocation of tickets among the remaining 2 million of the 10 million that also includes the hospitality program, plus the “Olympic Family” — national sponsors of Paris and global sponsors of the IOC, broadcast rights holders and sports bodies.
Hospitality prices start at 85 euros ($94) and run to 11,000 euros ($12,200) for a prime spot by the River Seine to see the athletes sail by in the opening ceremony.
With general tickets to that riverside ceremony already sold out, “the only way to attend these events will be through the official hospitality program,” On Location said this week. That's also the case for sailing races in Marseille.
Also sold out are hospitality tickets at iconic venues for judo — staged next to the Eiffel Tower in a temporary venue and featuring one of France’s greatest modern athletes, Teddy Riner — and equestrian in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles.
Paris touted its large and diverse accommodation options — everything from campsites along the River Seine to some of the world's most famous luxury hotels — when it was bidding for the Olympics, boasting that it has "more than sufficient accommodation" to host France's first Summer Games in a century and millions of visitors.
The Paris region has France's greatest concentration of hotel accommodation, its 160,000 rooms making up one-quarter of the country's total of 640,000. Nearly 90% of Paris region hotels are classed two stars or above. Adding rented accommodation, campsites and other options, the Paris tourism office says the region has a total of 261,800 rooms for the Olympics, which is considerably more than it had in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the pandemic ebbed, Paris once again became a top tourist destination. Visitor numbers so far this year are now very close to their pre-pandemic levels.
The city’s tourism office predicts that up to 15.9 million people could visit the Paris region during the July-September period that includes the Olympics and Paralympic Games.
That would be busier than Paris has been used to since the pandemic but not ridiculously so. The tourism office expects the region will still have rooms available, predicting occupancy rates of between 56% and 76%. That would be either a little bit less or somewhat more than the 61% occupancy at the same period in 2019.
“There is not going to be an accommodation crisis. There shouldn’t be people arriving and saying, ‘My God, we can’t find a place to stay in Paris,’” said Pierre Rabadan, City Hall’s vice mayor for Olympic planning.
Many Parisians leave for summer vacations in July or August and officials expect the same to happen next year, further helping to make space.
Some Parisians are hoping to make a mint by renting out their homes. On Airbnb, many hundreds of dollars per night are being asked for apartments. In the 11th district of Paris, a 1-bedroom apartment with two beds that was asking for 99 euros ($110) per night for four people this summer from July 26 to Aug. 2 is asking 877 euros ($972) per night for the same period during the Olympics.
The Olympics and Paris' transport network upon which the 2024 Games are relying have an intertwined history dating back over a century. The city's first Metro service, Line 1 from Porte Maillot in the west to Porte de Vincennes in the east, was opened during the 1900 Paris Olympics as part of the World Exhibition that the French capital hosted that year.
Next year, public transport is again expected to play a starring role. Organizers are counting on spectators to rely overwhelmingly on the Paris region's dense network of Metro lines, suburban trains, buses and other transport to help the Olympics reach its target of halving its carbon footprint compared to previous editions.
Some of the transport promises that organizers made have fallen by the wayside.
They shelved a pledge that ticketed spectators would travel on public transport for free to competition sites in Paris and beyond, opting instead to save themselves an estimated 44.7 million euros ($50 million).
An express train they said would whisk visitors from Paris' main international airport, Charles de Gaulle, to the center of the city in 20 minutes is not now slated to open before 2027.
Another line under construction, Metro 17, that organizers said would transport athletes in 30 minutes from the airport to their accommodation in Paris' northern outskirts also won't be ready, with a first stretch not now scheduled to open before 2026.
But a newly extended Metro service, Line 14, from Paris' second major airport, Orly, to an Olympic hub in the northern outskirts that includes the athletes village, main stadium and an aquatics center remains on schedule to open a month before the Olympics.
Transport operators are gearing up to carry between 600,000 to 800,000 Olympic visitors per day, “it’s like being in a permanent rush hour,” said Transport Minister Clement Beaune.
Paris' regional transport operator is promising extra trains as well as shuttle buses where needed, including for people with disabilities, for the 31 competition venues in the French capital and its surrounds.
“It's a major challenge. We've never had an operation like this,” Beaune said. “We will be ready.”
Paris is also using the Olympics to further its progress as an increasingly bike-friendly city, adding more lanes to its cycle network. City Hall says there will be at least 3,000 more bikes for hire and spaces to park 10,000 bikes close to venues.
World record heat has been a global theme in July 2023 and the European summer does not figure to cool down next year.
Measures to control extreme heat were not much on the minds of Paris officials when bidding for the Olympics in 2017. They are now.
“Obviously since the candidacy, we have worked a lot on these subjects,” organizing committee CEO Etienne Thobois said this month, “because we now realize that it’s becoming a near certainty that we will have high temperatures in the summer of 2024 in Paris.”
Thobois said organizers must be “very, very vigilant” to find a balance between compensating for the heat felt by athletes and workers against the need to control the games’ carbon footprint.
Air-conditioning was not planned in the design of the $1.1 billion athletes village being built in Saint-Denis, though that is not unusual for a city in central or northern Europe.
Paris temperatures have peaked at 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) this July and often rose to 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).
When similar temperatures hit the first week of the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, the actual heat index on the field of play was higher.
On the tennis court in Tokyo, the temperatures felt like 37 degrees C (99 degrees F) and heatstroke forced Paula Badosa to retire from her women’s singles quarterfinal match and leave the arena in a wheelchair.
Asked last week about a Parisian heatwave, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach noted “we have some very good experience with our heat mitigation measures in Tokyo where we were already facing these problems.”
For Tokyo, the IOC pressed World Athletics to move the marathons out of the city and seek cooler early mornings in coastal Sapporo.
The Paris marathons will start and finish in the city and take runners on uphill sections toward historic Versailles.
Students of the history of France, Paris and sports itself can feast on the places the Olympics will take them.
While the marathons will head to Versailles, equestrian events will actually be held in the grand grounds of the royal palace where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette lived and the victors of World War I led by U.S. president Woodrow Wilson gathered in 1919 and redrew many borders on the global map.
Place de la Concorde, where both Louis and Marie Antoinette were beheaded, will stage the Olympic debut of breakdancing, and other urban youth sports skateboarding, BMX freestyle and 3-on-3 basketball.
One hundred years after hosting track and field plus other sports at the 1924 Paris Olympics, Colombes Stadium in the northwest suburbs will this time stage field hockey.
Colombes is one of two 2024 Olympic venues to have staged soccer’s biggest game, the men’s World Cup final. Its turn was in 1938, while Stade de France saw the host nation triumph in 1998. Stade de France will stage track and field, rugby sevens and the Aug. 11 closing ceremony.
The Eiffel Tower will dominate the opening ceremony on July 26 as thousands of athletes are carried on fleets of boats along the Seine river toward the city’s defining landmark.
