KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Pentagon has released footage of what it says is a Russian aircraft conducting an unsafe intercept of a U.S. Air Force surveillance drone in international airspace over the Black Sea.
The 42-second video, released Thursday, shows a Russian Su-27 approaching the back of the MQ-9 drone and beginning to release fuel as it passes, the Pentagon said.
The U.S. military said it ditched the MQ-9 Reaper in the sea Tuesday after the Russian fighter jet poured fuel on the unmanned aerial vehicle and then struck its propeller.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley have spoken to their Russian counterparts about the destruction of the U.S. drone following the encounter with Russian fighter jets.
The calls with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of Russian General Staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov on Wednesday were the first since October.
While intercept attempts are not uncommon, the incident amid the war in Ukraine has raised concerns it could bring the United States and Russia closer to direct conflict.
That the two countries’ top defense and military leaders were talking so soon after the encounter over the Black Sea underscored its seriousness. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/ap-international/pentagon-shows-footage-of-aircraft-dumping-fuel-on-us-drone-2/ | 2023-03-17 02:59:49 | 0 | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/ap-international/pentagon-shows-footage-of-aircraft-dumping-fuel-on-us-drone-2/ |
Colleagues and loved ones are mourning the loss of Dylan Lyons, a television journalist who was shot while covering an earlier shooting in Orlando, Fla.
Spectrum News 13 is remembering the 24-year-old as "a motivated and talented professional who was living his dream in Orlando" and "will not be forgotten."
The Philadelphia native had lived in Florida since college and started at the station as a multimedia journalist in July 2022, according to his biography. It says his journey to the profession "was fueled by his desire to tell stories that impact local communities."
Lyons was part of a news crew reporting from the Pine Hills neighborhood on the fatal shooting of a woman in her 20s that had happened earlier on Wednesday. The day ended with two others dead and two critically injured.
Orange County authorities said the suspect in the first killing returned to the scene and opened fire, hitting two reporters, who Spectrum News 13 has since identified as Lyons and photojournalist Jesse Walden. He then walked to a nearby home and shot a woman and her 9-year-old daughter, who also died.
Police announced later Wednesday that they had detained that suspect, 19-year-old Keith Melvin Moses, who they say was an acquaintance of the first victim but does not appear to have connections to the others. Authorities have yet to determine a motive and say it's not clear whether he knew Lyons and Walden were members of the media because their vehicle was not clearly marked as a typical news van.

The tragedy has sent shock waves across and beyond the Orlando community, with condolences pouring in from local law enforcement officials, state politicians and the White House even before Lyons' identity was released.
Now Lyons' loved ones are sharing more personal tributes, emphasizing how much he loved his job, his community and his family — which has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral expenses.
The organizer, who identifies herself as Lyons' older sister Rachel, describes him as a loving fiancé, devoted son and acting father to his niece and nephew.
"Dylan would have been 25 years old in March," she wrote. "He was a happy soul and wonderful person in life. My brother was our baby. He was taken too early from us."
Remembering an enthusiastic and ambitious reporter
Lyons moved south to attend the University of Central Florida, where he studied journalism and political science while reporting and anchoring for the student-run news station.
His first job was working as a reporter and anchor for WCJB TV20, an ABC affiliate in Gainesville. Lyons was awarded the best "Politics/Elections Series" by the Florida Association of Broadcast Journalists in 2020 and was a finalist for investigative reporting the following year.
Lyons' station biography says one of the most impactful stories he covered was about the murder of a 13-year-old girl.
"The story was especially moving for Dylan because it illustrated the importance of ensuring proper protections for the most vulnerable in our society," it reads.

His friend Josh Miller, a Spectrum Sports 360 reporter, told the outlet that Lyons loved his career and took it very seriously. Even outside of work he was often "talking about how much he wanted to succeed at his job, talking about how much he loved Orlando."
"He loved the community, telling the stories of people, reporting on the news, and he was just passionate about what he did," Miller said.
Megan Turner, who said she was one of Lyons' editors in college, said he inspired her and always rooted for those around him. She called him a "hero" and shared old videos and articles of his on Twitter on Wednesday.
"If you knew Dylan, you knew he embodied journalism," she wrote. "Integrity. Passion. Ethics. Speed. He meant so much to so many people."
Lyons also loved his partner and his family, with Miller telling Spectrum News 13 that he was close with his mom and would express his gratitude for her publicly in posts on social media.
Lyons' fiance, who goes by Casey Lynn on Twitter (and who Lyons tagged in adoring posts and videos), shared the GoFundMe link asking for support for her family.
"The love of my life was murdered," she wrote. "I will never be the same person ever again."
The tragedy highlights the dangers of journalism
Lyons' death has drawn attention to the dangers that local journalists can face, and rattled many in the industry.
"This is every reporter's absolutely worst nightmare," said WESH2 journalist Luana Munoz in a tearful report from the hospital that has since gone viral. "We go home at night afraid that something like this will occur, and that is what happened here ... There are other media people who are kind of corralled together and standing in solidarity tonight as one of our own has just passed."

Local news outlets have been shrinking and struggling financially for years, which many noted on Twitter makes incidents like Wednesday's shooting even harder to stomach.
"You work egregious hours for incredibly low pay, because you care about the community you serve, and you love being a storyteller," wrote Jon Alba, a journalist with digital streaming service FITE TV. "To have your life end on the job, senselessly nonetheless ... it's a total, unfathomable tragedy."
Mike Chitwood, the sheriff of Volusia County in Florida, tweeted that Lyons was "gunned down doing a tough and often thankless job."
"[Spectrum News 13] and all news crews you are in my heart tonight," he wrote. "I need you to know we care and appreciate the hard work you do and the sacrifices you make. This is a tragedy that should never have happened."
The Committee to Protect Journalists called it "deeply disturbing that a journalist was killed while covering the gun violence that has become a sickening reality of living in the United States."
And it notes that the shooting comes less than six months after Las Vegas Review Journal investigative reporter Jeff German was fatally stabbed (a local official that he had reported on has since been charged with his murder).
Wednesday's shooting is another reminder that journalism is a dangerous business, said the National Press Club, with the risk of violence coming both from subjects of reporting and outside critics.
"We urge all reporters in the field to take extra precaution and redouble efforts to work safely," it said. "We call on those who use hateful rhetoric against journalists online to carefully consider the consequences of their actions."

Power Plays of a Capricorn Moon
Everything that happens will happen because of a relationship, not necessarily a smooth one. Obstacles, many of which come in the form of frustrating people, will ultimately be the secret to developing incredible powers of focus. Just remember this quote: “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get into the zone of being at once relaxed and aware. You approach common activities with uncommon grace. At the heart of good manners, best practices and success at so many things: paying attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In theory, your feelings happen inside you and therefore independent of the behaviors of others. But of course, it doesn’t work this way. You’ll be surprised and comforted by the ways in which you’re connected to others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Image matters, but how much? Just like everyone, you’d like to be seen in a certain way, though you’re usually too busy actually being that person to worry much about it. People will know you by your actions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can get a little wild when you let yourself. If the wildness in you were predictable, it couldn’t be called wildness. It’s not something you cultivate, it’s something you get to know. Sit back and observe and admire.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone gives you a tall order. What makes it challenging is the fact that you’ve never done it before. It won’t be difficult, just new. Don’t be too proud to ask questions. This will be your success key.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As you get older you care less and less about being liked. You still do likable things, but it’s because they are the right, fun, easy and in many cases automatic thing to do. Likability is in your nature.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are two people you know who simply must meet. You could affect destiny by making the introduction. Just think about the implications, strange but true: The world is forever altered by people meeting people.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a battle of wills going on, but it’s so subtle it’s possible that only the insiders can detect it. You know better than to underestimate anyone. The gentle, sweet people can put up the toughest fight.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are reasons you’re not inclined to ask directly for what you want. Trust your ability to read the room. You may still get what you want without asking. Your desire is obvious and there are many helpers around.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will want to do things for you today. You can ask the hard questions, enlist help with tedious tasks and get people to sign up for the race, contribute to the cause or buy what you’re selling -- all thanks to your irresistible charm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one is perfect. Accepting faults is about more than grace and forgiveness; it’s about saving time. Who needs the drama of warring against reality? When you avoid pettiness, you give yourself the gift of time and energy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be invigorated by the creativity flowing through you today, which you’ll apply to creating an easier, more harmonious and lovely experience for yourself and others.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3). You won’t be the only one making sure your plans come to fruition. A powerful benefactor will speed things along. Efforts made in the name of love, like traveling to be with someone or finding novel ways to celebrate, will energize your world. What you give won’t just be reciprocated, it will lead to legendary experiences. Aries and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 4, 11, 19 and 15.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, Jrue Holiday scored 29 points and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-102 on Friday night to improve to 8-0, the best start to a season in franchise history.
Bobby Portis Jr. added 18 points off the bench for the Bucks, the NBA’s only undefeated team. Milwaukee started 7-0 in both 2018-19 and 1971-72.
“I feel like we’re building the right habits, playing the right way, winning in different ways,” Holiday said. “It feels good to be 8-0.”
Minnesota has dropped three straight to fall to 4-5. Anthony Edwards paced the Wolves with 24 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 11 rebounds.
“They’re a high-level team, obviously, a championship level team,” Towns said. “There’s a lot to learn in these games like this. Just continue to find ourselves getting better every night throughout the season.”
The Timberwolves couldn’t overcome a 22-point third-quarter deficit. Minnesota cut Milwaukee’s lead to eight at 97-89 on Naz Reid’s transition dunk in the fourth quarter after Reid blocked Antetokounmpo at the other end.
Antetokounmpo came alive after that. He threw down a thunderous dunk, and later hit a 3 from the top of the key that pushed Milwaukee’s advantage back to 13. Two possessions later, including a finger roll by Antetokounmpo, the Bucks led 108-91.
His triple-double was his first this season and 30th of the two-time MVP’s career.
“I think he picked his spots well,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said.
Plenty of Bucks fans were in attendance at Target Center for Friday’s border battle, with many sporting Antetokounmpo’s No. 34 jersey. At one point, a “Bobby!” chant erupted for Portis. He hit a corner 3-pointer to stop a brief Wolves threat late in the third quarter, and connected from nearly the same spot with just over a minute to go in the third.
“That was crazy,” Portis said of the chants of his name. “That was cool, but definitely humble in victory, get ready for another big game tomorrow to try to extend the streak.”
Timberwolves fans found multiple occasions to boo their team after Minnesota fell behind big in the second half. Those same fans came to life briefly in the third when Jalen Nowel’s layup capped a 10-0 Wolves run.
Holiday led the way in the first half, scoring 16 points to lift the Bucks to a 61-54 halftime lead.
Milwaukee extended its lead to 18 midway through the third quarter thanks to a 17-6 run that included five points from Holiday to open the second half.
This was Milwaukee’s first look at Minnesota since the Wolves acquired big man Rudy Gobert in the offseason to pair next to Towns. Gobert grabbed 13 boards but had just seven points in the loss.
The Bucks outrebounded Minnesota 51-47.
The Wolves turned the ball over 16 times, which turned into 22 Bucks points. Jaden McDaniels committed four of Minnesota’s 12 turnovers.
D’Angelo Russell shot 3 of 15 for Minnesota, including 2 of 8 from deep.
BIG GAME FOR BEAUCHAMP
Rookie guard MarJon Beauchamp, playing in his fifth NBA game, hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half. He had made just two field goals all season prior to Friday night. Beauchamp finished with a career-high 14 points off the bench.
“He’s just kind of getting a better feel, getting more confident. We’re getting more confident in him,” Budenholzer said. “He’s just got a competitiveness, a pureness that I think his teammates enjoy him and are excited for him.”
TIP-INS
Bucks: Forward Jordan Nwora landed hard after trying to contest a layup in the second half of Milwaukee’s win. Budenholzer said Nwora was ultimately OK after the fall, if not a bit sore.
Timberwolves: Edwards and Gobert were listed as questionable due to illness, but both started. … Gobert airballed his second 3-point shot attempt of the year. … Towns fouled out with 1:54 remaining in the game.
UP NEXT
Bucks: Host Oklahoma City on Saturday night.
Timberwolves: Host Houston on Saturday night.

Cyberint is listed in Gartner Reports: Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Security, and Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Adoption Growth Insights in Digital Risk Protection Services. Also listed as a Sample Vendor in three categories in Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2022
BOSTON, Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyberint, the leader in impactful intelligence, recognized as a Sample Vendor in three categories; External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS), and Threat Intelligence Products and Services (TI), in the 2022 Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations. Cybeirnt has also been listed in the DRPS, and EASM categories in two other Gartner reports - Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Security, and Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Adoption Growth Insights in Digital Risk Protection Services. Gartner's recognition strengthens Cyberint's position as the leading impactful intelligence provider.
"Security operations technologies and services defend IT systems from attack by identifying threats and exposure to vulnerabilities." Gartner 'Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2022' aims to help security and risk management leaders strategize and deliver effective responses and remediation. Gartner reports, 'Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Security' and 'Emerging Tech: Adoption Growth Insights in Digital Risk Protection Services' address the necessity to secure new environments and protect against expanding attack surfaces. The reports also detail the use of automation-driven efficiency and the demand for DRPS providers to tailor offerings to each client individually.
"TI products and services are applicable in every industry because every organization has a unique threat landscape." States Garner in the 'Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2022'. "Security leaders have an obligation to understand the organization's threat landscape."
With real-time intelligence from the deep, dark, and open web, Cyberint clients gain greater visibility into their digital assets and threat landscape, enabling security leaders to take accurate and targeted action against potential and current threats.
According to Gartner, "The DRPS end-user spending is estimated to be approximately $600 million in 2021 and expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2025." The projected economic growth indicates the increasing importance of DRPS within the cybersecurity field. Rapid investment growth in DRPS and EASM proves the significant impact that both cybersecurity services have on organizations by increasing their visibility into the security of external-facing assets and increasing knowledge about digital landscapes, ensuring organizations are prepared to counter potential threats in real time.
Gartner warns, "With an increasing number of services that citizens can reach online, government-sector digital initiatives are increasingly at risk from malicious actors." The adoption of DPRS is still incredibly low. "Government, media and finance industries demonstrate higher mind share of DRPS, but the adoption of DRPS was the highest in the finance vertical in 2021, representing 41% of the total adoption data." From reading these reports, it is our understanding that enterprises concerned with brand image, reputation, and protection put the most value on DPRS and are particularly interested in mind-sharing on this topic.
Cyberint offers a holistic approach to TI, DPRS, and EASM. With a service tailored to each organization, clients enjoy real-time actionable threat intelligence alerts with nearly zero false positives. The fusion of a comprehensive SaaS platform, coupled with highly skilled analysts, gives Cyberint a distinct competitive edge over its competitors, resulting in recognition from the media as a reliable intelligence source and now by Gartner.
"Cyberint aims to drive constant and consistent innovation in the cybersecurity industry, bringing our clients the most impactful solution on the market." Says Yochai Corem, CEO of Cyberint. "I am incredibly proud of the Cyberint team, whose hard work and dedication to improving our offerings have resulted in recognition by Gartner."

Four bears - two grizzlies and two black bears - were euthanized in June, according to wildlife officials, due to issues at residential properties.
The first, a black bear, was captured and euthanized near Swan Lake on June 22nd after approaching homes and breaking into unattended buildings.
Then, a three-year-old female grizzly, was captured and euthanized on June 23rd south of Libby after returning to a Silver Butte residence where it originally killed chickens.
A second grizzly, a yearling male, was euthanized on June 27th after traveling across the Flathead Range and frequenting homes along Lake Blaine.
The last, a female black bear, had been visiting properties off Blanchard Lake near Whitefish.
This bear appeared to have health-related issues and was getting into garbage.
It was euthanized on June 29.
As a precaution, wildlife officials are asking property owners to secure food attractants and to carry bear spray when outdoors.
Here is the full press release:
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks bear management specialists are busy responding to reports of bears accessing unsecured food attractants on residential properties across northwest Montana.
The conflicts commonly involve unsecured garbage and chicken coops. FWP staff have also seen an uptick in conflicts involving bears going onto residential porches where outdoor freezers or refrigerators are stored.
As a reminder, bears can still smell food in outdoor refrigerators and freezers and can often gain entry. FWP recommends freezers and refrigerators to be stored inside garages, sheds, or other secured buildings to avoid attracting a bear.
On June 23, FWP staff captured and euthanized a female grizzly bear south of Libby in the Silver Butte area. The bear, estimated to be 3.5 years old, was first captured in summer 2021 after killing unsecured chickens in Whitefish and relocated to the Puzzle Creek area near Marias Pass.
FWP received a report from a homeowner in the Silver Butte area that their chickens had been killed. FWP staff responded and captured the female grizzly bear at the property. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff relocated the bear. Within two days, the bear traveled more than 10 miles to a residence near the original conflict site where it killed chickens, attempted to explore the home’s porch, and was sprayed with bear spray. The bear also returned to the original site, where it continued to show interest in the chicken coop, which was now secured.
The decision was made to euthanize the bear in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and by Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee guidelines.
“This bear traveled from the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem to the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem. We want bears to travel between both ecosystems because it’s good for recovery in the Cabinet-Yaak and good for the long-term health of both populations,” said Kim Annis, FWP bear management specialist. “But these bears won’t be successful if they get into conflict with unsecured food attractants, like small livestock.”
On June 22, FWP captured and euthanized a male black bear near Swan Lake. The bear, estimated to be two years old, was previously captured north of Columbia Falls after eating chickens on residential property. The bear was moved into a remote section of the forest but began approaching residences and breaking into unattended buildings, including a home. The bear was food conditioned and habituated to people.
On June 27, FWP captured and euthanized a male grizzly bear near Lake Blaine north of Creston. The bear was originally captured near Vaughn and moved to the Marias Pass area earlier this spring. The bear, a yearling, traveled across the Flathead Range, swam across Hungry Horse Reservoir and began frequenting residential properties along Lake Blaine, accessing garbage and chicken coops. Due to its food conditioning, FWP euthanized the bear in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
On June 29, FWP captured and euthanized a female black bear that was frequenting residential properties off Blanchard Lake near Whitefish. The bear, estimated to be six years old, appeared to have health issues related to tumors in its mouth and was getting into residential garbage cans.
Montana is bear country. Preventing a conflict is easier than dealing with one.
- Bear spray is a highly effective, non-lethal bear deterrent. Carry EPA-approved bear spray and know how to use it.
- Remove or secure food attractants. Bear-resistant containers and a properly constructed electrified fence are proven effective at deterring bears.
- Don’t let bears linger in your yard or in close proximity to home or other structures because this can lead to habituation. Call an FWP specialist to help deter bears if you are not comfortable or able to do so.
- Loud noise, such as banging pots and pans, using an air horn or your car alarm, or shouting, is an effective way to deter a bear on private property.
- Notify your neighbors if you do observe a bear in the area to help make others aware.
- Never feed wildlife, especially bears. Bears that become food-conditioned lose their natural foraging behavior and pose a threat to human safety. And it is illegal to feed bears in Montana.
- Always keep a safe distance from wildlife. Never approach a bear.
If you see a bear near your residence or need to report a conflict, please call your local bear specialist: https://fwp.mt.gov/conservation/wildlife-management/bear/contact [fwp.mt.gov]. | https://www.kbzk.com/news/local-news/bears-euthanized-after-frequenting-residential-properties-accessing-unsecured-attractants | 2022-07-08 20:03:16 | 0 | https://www.kbzk.com/news/local-news/bears-euthanized-after-frequenting-residential-properties-accessing-unsecured-attractants |
Nikki Finke, sharp-tongued Hollywood columnist, dies at 68
NEW YORK (AP) — Nikki Finke, the veteran reporter who became one of Hollywood’s top journalists as founder of the entertainment trade website Deadline.com and whose sharp-tongued tenacity made her the most-feared columnist in show business, has died. She was 68.
Finke died Sunday in Boca Raton, Florida, after a prolonged illness, according to Deadline.
A famously reclusive blogger, Finke began writing LA Weekly’s “Deadline Hollywood” column in 2002 and made it essential reading for gossip and trade news. Four years later, she launched Deadline Hollywood Daily as a website.
Blogging at Deadline.com, Finke made a pugnacious media empire of scoops and gossip, renowned for her “live-snarking” award shows and story updates that blared “TOLDJA!” when one of her earlier exclusives proved accurate.
Finke’s sharp-elbow style earned her plenty of enemies in Hollywood. But the Long Island native’s regular drumbeat of exclusives proved her considerable influence with executives, agents and publicists. In 2010, Forbes listed her among “the world’s most powerful women.” Finke was unapologetic, declining to soften her approach for the most glamorous stars or the most powerful studio executives.
“I mean, they play rough,” Finke told The New York Times in 2015. “I have to play rough, too.”
Finke did it all largely from the confines of her apartment in west Los Angeles, not schmoozing at red-carpet premieres or cocktail parties. But from her reclusive remove, Finke could ruthlessly skewer executives whose decision making she disapproved of. She once called Jeff Zucker, then-president of NBC Universal, “one of the most kiss-ass incompetents to run an entertainment company.”
“I can’t help it!” Finke told The New Yorker in 2009. “It’s like meanness pours out of my fingers!”
In 2009, Deadline Hollywood was purchased by Jay Penske, whose company, Penske Media Corporation, would later also acquire Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Finke often quarreled with Penske, particularly after his purchase of the Deadline rivals. She departed the site in 2013 after months of public acrimony, but remained under contract as a consultant. “He tried to buy my silence,” Finke wrote at the time. “No sale.”
“At her best, Nikki Finke embodied the spirit of journalism, and was never afraid to tell the hard truths with an incisive style and an enigmatic spark. She was brash and true,” Penske said in a statement Sunday. “It was never easy with Nikki, but she will always remain one of the most memorable people in my life.”
After her departure, Finke played with various projects but never returned to entertainment journalism. Her deal with Penske reportedly prohibited her to report on Hollywood for 10 years, though she at one time threatened to go solo again with NikkiFinke.com. Instead, she debuted HollywoodDementia.com, with fictional showbiz tales instead of real ones.
Before her notoriety with Deadline, Finke had spent years as a reporter for The Associated Press, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, the New York Post and the New York Observer. She inspired a 2011 HBO pilot that starred Diane Keaton as reporter Tilda Watski.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's State Board of Elections directed county election officials on Monday not to engage in signature matching when reviewing absentee ballot envelopes this fall after a judge rejected the GOP appeal of a state board ruling prohibiting the practice.
According to a directive sent to county election directors from the board's legal counsel Paul Cox, the judge's ruling maintains the status quo outlined in state law, which requires that all absentee voters fill out their ballots in the presence of two witnesses or a notary. Absentee ballot request forms in North Carolina must also include a date of birth and either a driver’s license number or the last four digits of the voter’s Social Security Number.
The North Carolina Republican Party had filed motions in Wake County Superior Court last week, asking the court to block the state board from enforcing its declaratory ruling that prevented county election officials from comparing signatures on absentee ballot request forms and return envelopes with the signatures included in voter registration records.
Superior Court Judge Stephan Futrell ruled from the bench Monday afternoon, denying the party's motion for a temporary restraining order and preventing the use of signature matching in the 2022 general election, state board spokesperson Pat Gannon said.
“Under state law, absentee voter identity is confirmed via the confidential personal information provided by the voter in requesting a ballot, the voter’s attestation on the ballot envelope and the attestation of two witnesses or a notary that the voter voted the ballot,” Cox wrote in a directive obtained by The Associated Press.
The board's Democratic majority in July had rejected an initial signature matching proposal introduced by Republicans, citing concerns that it could create unequal voting access and allow partisan bias to contaminate the electoral process.
Republicans, for their part, argue signature verification is another necessary element of electoral transparency. In addition to pushing for its adoption, they are also fighting the state board's proposed restrictions on party-appointed poll watchers.
“When we have those signatures on file, it is ludicrous not to be able to use them,” said North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley. “This is a very common sense tool, and I think it's inexplicable that the board had instructed not only that the boards don't have to use it but that they can't use it.”

Key Trump attorney says he’s departing legal team as Mar-a-Lago probe intensifies
By ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A key lawyer for former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was leaving the legal team, a move that comes as a special counsel investigation into the retention of classified documents shows signs of being in its final stages.
Timothy Parlatore told The Associated Press that his departure had nothing to do with Trump and was not a reflection on his view of the Justice Department’s investigation, which he has long called misguided and overly aggressive, or on the strength of the government’s evidence. He said he believed he had served Trump well.
Other lawyers, including former Justice Department prosecutor James Trusty, are continuing to represent Trump in Washington investigations.
CNN earlier reported Parlatore’s departure.
Parlatore has long been a key member of the team representing Trump in an investigation by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith into the possession of hundreds of classified documents at the former president’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago as well as into possible efforts to obstruct that probe.
A grand jury over the last several months has heard from a broad array of witnesses close to Trump. Federal prosecutors in March questioned another of Trump’s lawyers, M. Evan Corcoran, before the grand jury after successfully piercing attorney-client privilege. Parlatore testified voluntarily in December about efforts to recover classified documents in response to government demands.
Last month, Parlatore and other lawyers for Trump issued a letter to the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Turner, laying out a series of defense arguments of Trump and saying that the Justice Department should be “ordered to stand down” in its investigation.
Besides the Mar-a-Lago probe, Smith has also been investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, with former Vice President Mike Pence among the grand jury witnesses in that probe. Manhattan prosecutors charged Trump in March arising from hush-money payments made to a porn star who said he had an extramarital sexual encounter with her years earlier.
In Georgia, prosecutors in Fulton County are expected to announce in coming months the results of an investigation into attempts to subvert Trump’s election loss to President Joe Biden in that state.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTRA) ("Kintara" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new solid tumor cancer therapies, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.
CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- Announced that three posters were accepted for data presentation at the 2022 Society for Neuro-Oncology ("SNO") Annual Meeting. The 2022 SNO Annual Meeting will be held from November 16 through November 20, 2022 in Tampa, Florida (September).
- Received a Study May Proceed letter from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to begin a 15-patient study evaluating REM-001 Photodynamic Therapy ("PDT") for the treatment of cutaneous metastatic breast cancer ("CMBC"). This study is intended to aid in the design of a planned Phase 3 registrational study (August).
- Entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park"), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $20.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the agreement as well certain limitations contained therein (August).
- Received notice from the FDA that the Company was granted Fast Track Designation for VAL-083 for the treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed, unmethylated glioblastoma ("GBM") (June).
- Received written notification from the Listing Qualification Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") granting the Company's request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. The Company has until November 28, 2022 to meet the requirement (June).
- Announced that the Company's first European site, University Hospital Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland, had been activated for the VAL-083 treatment arm in the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research ("GCAR") registrational Phase 2/3 clinical trial for GBM, titled Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment ("GBM AGILE Study") (May).
"This last quarter was a very productive quarter - on the financing side we put in place a $20.0 million equity facility with Lincoln Park to help bolster our balance sheet. On the regulatory front we received our second Fast Track Designation from the FDA for VAL-083 and the GBM-AGILE Study continues to exceed our expectations," commented Robert E. Hoffman, Kintara's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Moving our REM-001 CMBC program back into the clinic is also an important step for us to deliver on our mission of serving cancer patients where there is a clear unmet medical need. We believe we remain on track to start enrolling patients in the CMBC study around the end of September 2022."
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
At June 30, 2022, Kintara had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.8 million. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed two registered direct offerings for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $21.6 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, Kintara reported a net loss of approximately $22.7 million, or $0.52 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $38.3 million, or $1.60 per share, for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decreased net loss for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the year ended June 30, 2021 was largely due to the recognition of $16.1 million of non-cash expenses related to the acquisition of in-process research and development costs associated with the Adgero transaction in August 2020.

ABOUT KINTARA
Located in San Diego, California, Kintara is dedicated to the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. Kintara is developing two late-stage, Phase 3-ready therapeutics for clear unmet medical needs with reduced risk development programs. The two programs are VAL-083 for GBM and REM-001 for CMBC.
VAL-083 is a "first-in-class", small-molecule chemotherapeutic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers, including central nervous system, ovarian and other solid tumors (e.g., NSCLC, bladder cancer, head and neck) in U.S. clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute ("NCI"). Based on Kintara's internal research programs and these prior NCI-sponsored clinical studies, Kintara is currently advancing VAL-083 in the GBM AGILE Study to support the development and commercialization of VAL-083 in GBM.
Kintara is also advancing its proprietary, late-stage PDT platform that holds promise as a localized cutaneous, or visceral, tumor treatment as well as in other potential indications. REM-001 therapy has been previously studied in four Phase 2/3 clinical trials in patients with CMBC who had previously received chemotherapy and/or failed radiation therapy. With clinical efficacy to date of 80% complete responses of CMBC evaluable lesions, and with an existing robust safety database of approximately 1,100 patients across multiple indications, Kintara is advancing the REM-001 CMBC program to late-stage pivotal testing.

(CNN) — When it comes to artificial intelligence, Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t sound like he’s willing to just “Let It Be.”
In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s “Today” program released Tuesday, the legendary musician and former Beatle was asked about AI and how it’s been used to make his voice sound younger – and to resurrect the voices of fellow band members John Lennon and George Harrison who died in 1980 and 2001, respectively.
And he revealed there’s a “new” Beatles tune coming, thanks to the technology.
“When we came to make what will be the last Beatles record – it was a demo that John had that we worked on and we just finished it up, it will be released this year – and we were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI,” McCartney said. “So then we were able to mix the record as you would normally do.”
While McCartney’s not on the internet much, he said, he’s aware of AI being used to do things like have Lennon sing one of his songs – which he said was “kind of scary.”
“It’s something we’re all sort of tackling at the moment and trying to deal with,” McCartney said.
According to McCartney, AI was used to isolate Lennon’s voice from a demo track for the Peter Jackson directed 2021 docuseries “The Beatles: Get Back” about the making of the Beatles’ 1970 album “Let It Be.”
There’s “a good side and a scary side” to AI, McCartney said, so “we’ll just have to see where that leads.”

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 litigate securities class actions. 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, the registration statement supporting the IPO was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company would restate certain financials; (2) the Company's internal controls were inadequate; (3) the Company downplayed and obfuscated its internal controls issues; (4) as a result, the Company would engage in an independent investigation; (5) as a result of the investigation, the Company would, among other things, retain independent counsel and consultants, and delay its quarterly filings in violation of NYSE requirements of listing; (6) following the commencement of the investigation, the Company's CEO and CFO would leave the Company; and (7) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. Also according to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company's internal controls were inadequate; (2) the Company downplayed and obfuscated its internal controls issues; (3) the Company did not properly construct or remediate its inadequate and ineffective internal controls; (4) contrary to the Company's statements, the Company was not remediating its internal controls; (5) as a result, the Company would engage in an independent investigation; (6) as a result of the investigation, the Company would, among other things, retain independent counsel and consultants, and delay its quarterly filings in violation of NYSE requirements of listing; (7) following the commencement of the investigation, the Company's CEO and CFO would leave the Company; and (8) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

(The Hill) – The restaurant chain Taco Bell filed a petition on Tuesday to end the chain Taco John’s trademark of the phrase “Taco Tuesday,” arguing that it should be available for all who sell tacos.
Taco Bell said in a release that the trademark, which has been in place since 1989, has put companies at risk of legal action if they want to use the phrase. It said the chain is not seeking any damages or trademark rights but wants “common sense for usage of a common term.”
“Taco Bell believes ‘Taco Tuesday’ should belong to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos. In fact, the very essence of ‘Taco Tuesday’ is to celebrate the commonality amongst people of all walks of life who come together every week to celebrate something as simple, yet culturally phenomenal, as the taco,” the release states.
Taco Bell has also started a petition for “fans and taco lovers” to support the efforts to remove the trademark.
“In filing the legal petitions, Taco Bell is honoring people’s right to come together and celebrate the joys of tacos, on Tuesdays and every other day,” the release states.
In response to the petition, Taco John’s CEO Jim Creel denounced the effort in a release on Tuesday, saying “No más, por favor!”
It said that Taco John’s is rolling out a deal of selling two tacos for $2 every day from Tuesday through the end of May through the mobile app for rewards members.
“I’d like to thank our worthy competitors at Taco Bell for reminding everyone that Taco Tuesday® is best celebrated at Taco John’s®,” Creel said. “We love celebrating Taco Tuesday® with taco lovers everywhere, and we even want to offer a special invitation to fans of Taco Bell to liberate themselves by coming by to see how flavorful and bold tacos can be at Taco John’s® all month long.”
CNN reported that the process for determining an outcome to the case could take up to two years. Taco John’s must respond within 40 days of the petition being filed, and a discovery period in which the companies request documents and present evidence if they do not reach an agreement. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/taco-bell-petitions-to-end-trademark-of-taco-tuesday/ | 2023-05-17 01:11:19 | 1 | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/taco-bell-petitions-to-end-trademark-of-taco-tuesday/ |
Angels fire manager Joe Maddon during 12-game losing streak
Maddon had a 130-148 record as manager of the Angels
The Los Angeles Angels have fired manager Joe Maddon as the team is in the midst of a 12-game losing streak, the team announced on Tuesday.
Third-base coach Phil Nevin has been named interim manager.
The Angels got off to a hot start to the season – surging to a 24-13 record – but Los Angeles has now lost 13 of its last 16 games, dropping to 27-29 on the season and sitting 8.5 games back of the first-place Houston Astros.
Maddon was in the third and final year of his contract with the Angels, and was hoping to lead Los Angeles to its first playoff appearance since the 2014 season. Maddon leaves the Angels with a record of 130-148.

Through the "Chile on Board" campaign, which will run until November 9th, the country will be able to promote two of its most important products: salmon and mussels.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ProChile, the institution in charge of promoting Chilean exports, set up a partnership with Giant Eagle, a leading food, fuel, and pharmacy retailer, to boost seafood consumption in the Northeast and Midwest regions.
The "Chile on Board" campaign will run until November 9th in Giant Eagle stores throughout Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The initiative will focus on two of the most relevant Chilean products at the international level: salmon and mussels.
"Seafood is a common product on both coasts of the United States, but not so much in the hinterland of the country. With this campaign, we want the consumers unfamiliar with these foods to get to know those that Chile can offer and their benefits," said Alexander Grabois, representative of the ProChile commercial office in Philadelphia.
Grabois explained that "thanks to Chile's geography and vast water from the Pacific Ocean, the Chilean seafood industry offers a great variety of food that is remarkable in terms of freshness and quality."
"Giant Eagle is proud to partner with ProChile," said Giant Eagle Director of Seafood Rich Castle. "We will be running a sales contest sponsored by ProChile, with the winning Team Members earning an educational and fun trip to Chile salmon and mussel farms. The winning Seafood Team Leaders will experience the pristine marine environment and sustainable efforts that will allow them to educate our guests about salmon and mussel farming in Chile."
The U.S., the leading market for salmon
Grabois explained that, in the case of salmon, Chile is the second-largest exporter in the world and that the United States is the leading market for this product. "Given the conditions of the southernmost sea in the world, the Chilean salmon has unparallel characteristics in terms of freshness," he said.
According to him, "Chilean salmon is a food with a high content of protein and unique flavor that provides a highly nutritious, healthy, and sustainable diet. Besides, it is easy to cook and quite versatile."
Food innocuousness and sustainability are other features of this product. "More than 70% of the salmon companies in Chile are certified for their good practices," he added.
The ProChile representative stressed that "this industry plays a key role in the development of the South of Chile, not only due to the jobs that are created —70 thousand people work in this sector— but also due to the innovations of the goods and services that are exported to the rest of the world."
Meanwhile, the Chilean mussel is a high-quality product that is 100% natural, hatched in the cleanest and coldest South Pacific waters that come from Antarctica. "It is a healthy, nutritious, and delicious product that represents the best of the Chilean shellfish," said Pedro Ovalle, president of the Commercial Committee at AmiChile, the mussel farmers association.
"Just like salmon, most companies that produce mussels have innocuousness and sustainability certification," added Ovalle. He also highlighted that "the U.S. market leads the industry's export growth, with a 3.7% annual rise between January and July of 2022, compared with a 12.7% drop in global terms."
Grabois invited people who live in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia to visit the nearest Giant Eagle to learn about the more than 30 available products, among them fresh salmon, frozen salmon, Coho salmon, ready-to-eat salmon, dressed salmon, stuffed salmon, and mussels.
"Both salmon and mussels can be cooked and eaten with other Chilean products that are very well-known worldwide, such as olive oil, wine, and fruits," said the ProChile representative.
ProChile is an institution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that promotes the sale of Chilean goods and services worldwide.
Through a network of more than 50 international offices and 16 offices in different regions of Chile, teams of specialized professionals work to strengthen the country's position in international markets, spread opportunities to invest in Chile, and promote tourism. ProChile has 11 offices in North America that provide top-level information to Chilean importers and exporters to generate ties and detect new opportunities.

Tens of thousands of migrants have cases thrown out of immigration court, as docs not filed
Migrants are released into the U.S. with notices to appear in court at a later date
Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants had their cases thrown out by immigration judges after documents were not filed in time by Department of Homeland Security officials, according to newly released data.
Data obtained and analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, found that 63,586 cases were dismissed in FY 2022 as of the end of September because officials, mainly Border Patrol agents, are not filing the Notice to Appear (NTA) in time.
Migrants who are apprehended by Border Patrol after entering the U.S. illegally in many cases are released into the U.S. with an NTA, which gives them a court date and address to appear for their immigration hearings. NTAs are typically submitted to the immigration court by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) using data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
With a massive surge of numbers at the southern border that began in the Spring of last year, the number of NTAs being given and migrants being released into the U.S. also surged, often overwhelming Border Patrol agents and officials. Agents were then given the authority to use a scheduling system that schedules the hearing at the court, while producing a copy to the migrant.
RECORD 856 MIGRANTS DIE AT SOUTHERN BORDER IN FISCAL YEAR 2022: CBP
TRAC, which obtained the numbers via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, found that numbers spiked from less than 1,000 incidents of no NTAs being filed in February and March 2021 to more than 5,000 a month in late 2021 and 2022. In April 2022, more than 7,000 cases were thrown out.
The research center says that the amount of cases being thrown out is not only wasteful of the court’s time, but also problematic for the immigrants involved — who may turn up for a court date only to have the case dismissed, and be left in limbo as to their status and what to do next.
Austin Kocher, research assistant professor at TRAC, said that on one hand he empathized with the agency due to the administrative burden it was facing with the increased numbers and increased processing. But he said the issue had arisen by allowing DHS officials to schedule the hearing in court when creating the NTA. That hearing could occur before the NTA has made it into the court system.
"The issue is, if you schedule a hearing three months out, and it takes longer than three months to actually file that NTA on the courts … then that immigrant is going to show up in court, and the judge isn't going to really have any record of that case. So essentially nothing can happen," he said.
EL PASO'S MIGRANT DATA DASHBOARD GIVES GLIMPSE INTO ONGOING MIGRANT SURGE
He said it was not unusual for NTAs to take time to get placed onto court systems, but what is different now is the scale.
"It's not as if it's entirely unprecedented, they have had issues in the past," he said. "It is unusual at the scale that this is happening and the regularity in which it's happening right now."
A DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital that those who are released from custody are under strict requirements to report in regularly.
"If a Notice to Appear (NTA) is unavailable, insufficient, or in need of correction at the time of the immigration court hearing, it is a regular practice to correct the deficiency and resubmit, or issue a new NTA so that cases may resume and migrants can continue with their obligation to appear before an immigration court at a later date," they said.
DHS said that it has matched an "unprecedented challenge" with "unprecedented border security solutions" — including 23,000 more staff, greater investments and anti-smuggling efforts and regional cooperation.

Meanwhile, DHS says ICE is working with CBP and USCIS to ensure NTA forms are properly completed to reduce any such incidents. Additionally, when migrants are released, they are told to check in with ICE, including reporting changes of address and to receive further information about their cases.
However, it still raises the risk of migrants getting lost in the system, given the complex U.S. immigration system and the large number of migrants being processed into the U.S.
"The one outcome we know is confusion, that's for sure," Kocher said. "And confusion within a system that is already this complicated is a bad thing." | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tens-thousands-migrants-cases-thrown-immigration-court-docs-filed | 2022-10-25 23:20:01 | 1 | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tens-thousands-migrants-cases-thrown-immigration-court-docs-filed |

NEW YORK (AP) — Elliot Mintz, a longtime insider with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, will release a memoir next year that will weave in behind-the-scenes moments with the famous couple.
The U.S. publisher Dutton and British publisher Transworld announced the deal with Mintz, who first met Lennon and Ono in the early 1970s and remained close to Ono after Lennon's murder in 1980. The book is currently untitled.
“I have waited fifty years to share my experiences with Yoko and John," Mintz, 78, said in a statement Tuesday. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. It is a privilege to share my odyssey and include the reader in intimate portrayal of my two dearest friends.”
Mintz, a spokesperson and radio and television host, has worked on various Lennon-Ono projects over the years, including hosting the radio documentary series “The Lost Lennon Tapes,” which featured unreleased recordings by the late musician. He has also served as a spokesperson for numerous other celebrities, from Bob Dylan to Paris Hilton. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/longtime-lennon-ono-insider-elliot-mintz-writing-17903293.php | 2023-04-18 10:08:09 | 0 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/longtime-lennon-ono-insider-elliot-mintz-writing-17903293.php |
(The Hill) – ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” has made charter schools its boogeyman.
The popular sitcom, now in its sophomore season, is wrapping up an arc in which the titular institution, a chaotic but whimsical inner-city Philadelphia school, faces off against the big, bad charter company down the street, Legendary Schools, which is actively seeking to incorporate it.
“They don’t even require all their teachers be certified,” one Abbott educator laments of their rival in an episode that aired earlier this month.
“Yet they take our funding, not to mention the private money from wealthy donors with ulterior motives,” another replies.
Later in the same episode, a former Abbott student returns after having been kicked out of the Legendary charter, apparently for dragging down its test results.
“They don’t see students, they see scores,” an Abbott teacher says.
Biden Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, for one, sounds like a fan. Speaking with The Hill on Sunday, Cardona said that while he doesn’t “have a particular statement around charter schools,” he emphasized: “I love what ‘Abbott Elementary’ has done.”
“I think I want to see an episode about how some states are trying to privatize schools. That’s the episode that I would want to be — have them hone in on because I think that’s an issue that we really should be worried about,” Cardona said.
And the plot line has not gone without notice from education advocates and the larger public, including a glowing essay in The New Yorker on Thursday that called it “an artful, sustained, and hilarious polemic against the privatization of public schools,” though the story has also drawn considerable pushback from supporters of the charter movement.
“We obviously don’t like charter schools being vilified or mischaracterized, and no one likes being vilified or mischaracterized,” Debbie Veney, a senior vice president at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, said in an interview with The Hill. “However, we try to take it with somewhat of a grain of salt, because it is a comedy, and there is hyperbole and exaggeration built into the device of satire.”
Veney added that “one thing that really stood out to me and kind of made me feel a little bit better” was the show’s depiction of how the head of Legendary Schools, played by Leslie Odom Jr., was “inspired by the great education” he received as a child, including from one Abbott teacher who particularly touched him.
“He was inspired by her in the way that she loved and cared for him and educated him to come back to his hometown and to create schools that really mirrored that type of experience that he got, and he will not settle for things that give kids less of an opportunity than they deserve,” she said.
Not all charter school advocates, however, are taking the story line in stride.
“It’s pathetic when fewer than 20% of Philadelphia students can even read, write or spell at grade level that there’s a show on television that has the nerve to criticize the schools that succeed, and the people that help them,” Jeanne Allen, founder and CEO of the Center for Education Reform, tweeted earlier this month.
“This has TEACHERS UNION written all over it,” she added, prompting the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers to respond that it “has no involvement in writing or production of the incredible @AbbottElemABC.”
In another tweet last week, Allen said that Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary’s” creator and star, “is from West Philly and attended charter schools her entire education.”
“She reportedly loved it at the time, heaped praise on it. Once upon a time. Guess money talks,” Allen said.
Brunson replied in a tweet that Allen is “wrong and bad at research.”
“I only attended a charter for high school. My public elementary school was transitioned to charter over a decade after I left. I did love my high school. That school is now defunct- which happens to charters often,” she said.
ABC declined multiple requests for comment from The Hill.
For the series, it all came to a head in the most recent episode, which saw the Abbott faculty band together with a festival and a petition to defend their turf, rallying parents and the rest of the community behind keeping the school out of Legendary’s hands. With three episodes left this season, it remains to be seen if Legendary has been completely vanquished or will again rear its head.
“Abbott Elementary’ resonates with educators and parents across the country because it accurately and humorously depicts the real situation in America’s public schools,” said National Education Association President Becky Pringle.
“It discusses the real challenges our public schools face, including the lack of funding and resources, and how for-profit charters and vouchers divert funding out of our public schools,” Pringle added.
Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, says that TV “comedies have dealt with major political issues” since the 1970s, but what makes “Abbott” interesting is “you’ve got this popular show” essentially serving as “a delivery system for information” on a topic that many people don’t know much about.
“We can’t, however, expect it to do this issue with all of its nuance, just like you’re not going to watch ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ if you want to learn … how to do emergency surgery,” Thompson said.
But, in his opinion, “it’s done a pretty noble job of dealing with this subject,” albeit from a very particular perspective.
Thompson said “Abbott Elementary” is “so earnest, and it’s so sincere, that even for those who disagree, it’s a lot harder show to hate on.”
Veney, of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, may or may not agree there, but she does not appear to have lost her sense of humor on the subject. At the end of the day, she points out, it is just a TV show.
“There is satire, there is poking fun at it. And I think it’s — it’s not healthy for us to always take ourselves too, too seriously,” she said.

Country music legend Dolly Parton is known for her work as a philanthropist — and she just got a lot more for the charities of her choice.
Parton is the latest recipient of the Bezos Courage and Civility Award, a $100 million prize for "leaders who aim high, find solutions and who always do it with civility," Jeff Bezos' partner Lauren Sanchez said in a speech posted to social media.
Parton can donate the sum as she sees fit.
"The woman you’re about to meet embodies these ideals so thoroughly, she gives with her heart," Bezos said, presenting the award. "What she’s done for kids, literacy and so many other things is just incredible."
The star's philanthropic work includes her Imagination Library, which has gifted more than 193 million books to kids around the world, and a $1 million donation to help fund Vanderbilt University's COVID-19 vaccine research. Her Dollywood Foundation also provides numerous scholarships.
"Wow! Did you say $100 million dollars?" Parton said when she was called to the stage. "When people are in a position to help, you should help, and I know that I’ve always said I try to put my money where my heart is."
Parton's recent accolades include a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.
“Everyone knows her music,” Eric Isaacs, president of the Carnegie Institution for Science and a member of the medal selection committee, recently told the Associated Press. “They might know Dollywood for entertainment, more broadly. But now they’re going to know her for her philanthropy, which I’m not sure they have before.”
Forbes says with a net worth of more than $124 billion, Bezos is one of the richest people in the world. Previous recipients of the Amazon CEO's award are CNN commentator Van Jones and chef José Andrés. | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/dolly-parton-gets-100m-award-from-jeff-bezos-for-charity/507-3ffc8252-10c3-4fc3-9773-55e8fe41196d | 2022-11-14 02:04:17 | 1 | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/dolly-parton-gets-100m-award-from-jeff-bezos-for-charity/507-3ffc8252-10c3-4fc3-9773-55e8fe41196d |
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran hanged two men Monday convicted of blasphemy, authorities said, carrying out rare death sentences for the crime as executions surge across the Islamic Republic following months of unrest.
Iran remains one of the world's top executioners, having put to death at least 203 prisoners since the start of this year alone, according to the Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights. But carrying out executions for blasphemy remains rare, as previous cases saw the sentences reduced by authorities.
The two men executed, Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli Zare, died at Arak Prison in central Iran. They had been arrested in May 2020, accused of being involved in a channel on the Telegram message app called “Critique of Superstition and Religion,” according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Both men faced months of solitary confinement and could not contact their families, the commission said.
The Mizan news agency of Iran's judiciary confirmed the executions, describing the two men as having insulted Islam's Prophet Muhammad and promoted atheism. Mizan also accused them of burning a Quran, Islam's holy book, though it wasn't clear whether the men allegedly did that or such imagery was shared in the Telegram channel.
Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, who leads Iran Human Rights, decried the executions as exposing the “medieval nature” of Iran's theocracy.
“The international community must show with its reaction that executions for expressing an opinion is intolerable,” he said in a statement. “The refusal of the international community to react decisively is a green light for the Iranian government and all their like-minded people around the world.”
It wasn't immediately clear when Iran carried out its last execution for blasphemy. Other countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, also allow for death sentences to be imposed for blasphemy.
The streak of executions, including members of ethnic minority groups in Iran, comes as monthslong protests over the September death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest by the country's morality police have cooled. Already, at least four people charged over alleged crimes from the demonstrations have been put to death. The protests, which reportedly saw over 500 people and 19,000 others arrested, marked one of the biggest challenges to Iran’s theocracy since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In 2022, Iran executed at least 582 people, up from 333 people in 2021, according to Iran Human Rights. Amnesty International's most-recent report on executions put Iran as the world's second-largest executioner, behind only China, where thousands are believed to be put to death a year.

China to punish internet users for ‘liking’ posts in crackdown after zero-Covid protests
By Laura He, CNN Business
Internet users in China will soon be held liable for liking posts deemed illegal or harmful, sparking fears that the world’s second largest economy plans to control social media like never before.
China’s internet watchdog is stepping up its regulation of cyberspace as authorities intensify their crackdown on online dissent amid growing public anger against the country’s stringent Covid restrictions.
The new rules come into force from Dec. 15, as part of a new set of guidelines published by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) earlier this month. The CAC operates under the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission chaired by leader Xi Jinping.
The new rules have gained attention on social media in recent days and will take effect just weeks after an unprecedented wave of public anger started sweeping the country. From Beijing to Shanghai, thousands of demonstrators protested in more than a dozen cities over the weekend, demanding an end to the country’s draconian Covid restrictions and calling for political freedoms.
Internet users are taking screenshots of content related to the protests to preserve them and using coded references in messages to evade censors, while the authorities are scrambling to scrub the internet of dissent.
The regulation is an updated version of one previously published in 2017. For the first time, it states that “likes” of public posts must be regulated, along with other types of comments. Public accounts must also actively vet every comment under their posts.
However, the rules didn’t elaborate on what kind of content would be deemed illegal or harmful.
“Liking something that is illegal shows that there is popular support for the issue being raised. Too many likes ‘can start a prairie fire,'” said David Zweig, professor emeritus at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, referring to a Chinese expression about how a single spark can start a far larger blaze.
“The threats to the [Chinese Communist Party] come from an ability to communicate across cities. The authorities must have been really spooked when so many people in so many cities came out at the same time,” he added.
Very concerned
Analysts said the new regulation was a sign that authorities were stepping up their crackdown on dissent.
“The authorities are very concerned with the spreading protest activities, and an important means of control is to stop the communications of the potential protesters including reports of protest activities and appeals of joining them,” said Joseph Cheng, a retired professor of political science at the City University of Hong Kong.
“This cyberspace control is an important lesson absorbed from protest activities like the Arab Spring,” he said, referring to protests that washed over Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and the eastern province of Saudi Arabia in 2011.
“What is important to note is that in the wake of the [China] protests, we will likely see more aggressive policing of Chinese cyberspace, especially if the protests expand,” said Isaac Stone Fish, founder and CEO of Strategy Risks, a China risk consultancy firm based in New York.
In recent years, China has gradually intensified its censorship of social media and other online platforms, including launching crackdowns on financial blogs and unruly fan culture. This year, the country’s strict zero-Covid policy and Xi’s securing of a historic third term have sparked discontent and anger among many online users.
But under the increasingly strict internet censorship, many voices of dissent have been silenced.
More rules
According to the regulation, all online sites are required to verify users’ real identities before allowing them to submit comments or like posts. Users have to be verified by providing their personal ID, mobile phone, or social credit numbers.
All online platforms must set up a “vetting and editing team” for real-time monitoring, reporting, or deleting content. In particular, comments on news stories must be reviewed by the sites before they can appear online.
All platforms also need to develop a credit rating system for users based on their comments and likes. Users with poor ratings dubbed “dishonest” will be added to a blocklist and banned from using the platform or registering new accounts.
However, analysts also questioned how practical it would be to carry out the newest rules, given that public anger is widespread and strict enforcement of these censorship requirements would consume significant resources.
“It is almost impossible to stop the spread of protest activities as the dissatisfaction continues to spread. The angry people can come up with all sorts of ways to communicate and express their feelings,” Cheng said. “The major deterrent lies in the perception that the (Communist) Party regime is still in control and the sanctions are severe.”
Chongyi Feng, an associate professor in China Studies at the University of Technology Sydney, said that it is “extremely difficult” now for the Chinese public to voice their grievances and anger.
“Cyberspace policing by Chinese authorities is already beyond measure, but that does not stop brave Chinese citizens from challenging the regime,” he said.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) – A shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News Friday afternoon sent a female teacher to the hospital, police and school officials confirm.
The school is located at 205 Tyner Drive, off Jefferson Avenue.
Dispatch received the first call about the incident at 2 p.m.
The teacher is being treated at Riverside Regional Medical Center, but police have not released the extent of her injuries.
NNPS said the person responsible for the shooting is in police custody. Sources from NNPS tell WAVY it was a first grade student who shot the teacher.
No students were injured in the shooting.
The school system sent information to Richneck families in a phone call and email, and posted it to social media about an hour after the incident.
NNPD Chief Steve Drew spoke with the media Friday afternoon.
He said all the children were moved to the gym after the incident and are safe. This is no longer an active shooter situation.
Chief Drew confirmed there was one location where a gunshot was fired, and evidence was recovered from that location.
“We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,” Chief Drew said.
There are counselors at the school talking with the students.
Police said they are working to reunite parents with students at this time. That is taking place at the Richneck gym door. Parents and guardians must present a photo ID to pick up their child.
They are dismissing students by grade level, Chief Drew said.
“The number one priority for me is to check on our victim at the hospital and get all these students back with their families,” Chief Drew said.
WAVY spoke with Richneck parent Joselyn Glover who told us, “My heart stopped. I was freaking out. I was very nervous just wondering was that one person my son?”
The school was on lockdown for about an hour before it was lifted, according to NNPS.
The police department’s response was “almost immediate, very, very quick, within minutes,” said Drew.
This is breaking news. Keep refreshing this post for updates.
** The viewer video below shows police responding to the shooting incident **
Upon hearing the news, Sen. Mark Warner tweeted, “Deeply disturbed by this report and closely monitoring the situation. My thoughts go out to all families and first responders.”
Sen. Tim Kaine also issued a statement, saying, “I’m monitoring this situation closely and praying for the safety of the students, teachers, staff, and first responders at Richneck Elementary School.”
There was a school shooting in Newport News in the fall of 2021, at Heritage High School. In that incident, a student fired several shots in a busy hallway. A 17-year-old boy and girl were wounded by the gunfire. Jacari Taylor was 16 years old when a judge sentenced him to 10-years for the shooting. | https://www.wane.com/news/teacher-shot-at-newport-news-elementary-school/ | 2023-01-06 22:15:46 | 0 | https://www.wane.com/news/teacher-shot-at-newport-news-elementary-school/ |
How much range do you need in an electric vehicle and at what price? This was the contention surrounding the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck winning The Car Connection Best Car To Buy 2023 award. The truck’s merit is undeniable but its price, fueled by three price hikes last year, was unsettling.
Ford increased the price of the base F-150 Lightning Pro by nearly 40%, from $41,669 (including the whopping $1,895 destination fee) to $57,869 as of last month.
Ouch.
Since truck buyers paid about $60,000 on average in 2022—the cost of a well-equipped Lightning XLT with the smaller pack—the 2023 F-150 Lightning is still within reach of most shoppers, however. The fully loaded Platinum that crests just under $100,000 is another story.
The F-150 Lightning outshined dozens of contenders for this year’s award, largely because of how it makes a paradigm shift so utterly familiar. It’s quicker, quieter, cleaner, better optimized, and as—if not more—capable than everything that’s preceded it. But how we would equip it is not so simple.
The F-150 Lightning can be had two ways, essentially: With a 98-kwh standard range battery pack that makes 452 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, and has an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles; or with a 131-kwh extended range pack making 580 hp and 775 lb-ft, and with a range of 320 miles.
All Lightnings have front and rear permanent-magnet motors for all-wheel drive, an independent rear suspension, a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, a crew cab, and a 5-foot-6 bed that carries over from the F-150 so owners can transfer their accessories between gas and electric F-150s. From the cab back, its pretty much the same F-150. But the Lightning’s frunk stores 14.1 cubic feet, carries 400 pounds, and doubles as a cooler or power source. It’s easier to load and unload big box runs than the bed, and it’s waterproof and secure. That alone gives it the edge over gas-powered F-150s.
The base F-150 Lightning Pro comes well equipped, as well, with 18-inch alloy wheels, vinyl seats, heated front seats, cruise control, a 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.0-inch touchscreen that fits better on the dash and is underscored by climate dials and buttons. We prefer it to the 15.5-inch all-in-one touchscreen that dominates the center stack on top grades. Every Lightning comes with automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and blind-spot monitors. Adding the charging cable ($500) and a 9.6-kw onboard generator ($1,200) brings the price to just over $60,000. The towing packages add another $3,000 or so.
But that’s for the standard pack. Only fleet customers who purchase at least five Lightnings and are certified by Ford as a fleet buyer can get the Lightning Pro with the extended range pack. The cheapest version that normal customers can buy with the extended range pack is the XLT grade, but it’ll cost $17,500 more ($12,500 for the pack, $5,000 for the XLT upgrade). The XLT trim adds running boards, a surround-view camera system, cloth seats, and the F-150’s clever interior work surface that turns the console into a mobile desk. The total is just shy of $84,000.
Ouch again.
So, a non-linear math question: Is a 40% price increase ($84,000 vs $60,000) worth a range increase of 33% (240 miles to 320 miles)? Only you can answer that, based on your wants and needs. Since we would be towing infrequently, we would opt for the base F-150 Lightning Pro. For owners who tow regularly, and log a lot of longer-distance trips, that upcharge for the extended range pack would seem to be worth it. But we’re basic. Or we’re cheap. That’s one reason why the Ford Maverick won our Best Car To Buy 2022.
We couldn’t fault you for going big, with the battery pack and the finer grades of the Lightning. The future is exciting, and it’s here. For a price.

Fred VanVleet bet on himself, and the Houston Rockets are the beneficiaries.
On an opening night of free agency where most big names — Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, Kyle Kuzma and more — stayed put, VanVleet is headed to a new home. He agreed to a three-year deal Friday with the Rockets that’ll pay him about $130 million, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.
ESPN first reported the agreement between VanVleet and the Rockets.
VanVleet — who famously uses the phrase “bet on yourself” to describe his career trajectory from undrafted player to NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors — will make about $525,000 per game over the next three seasons.
That nearly matches what he made as a rookie in Toronto, total — about $550,000.
“Love seeing guys getting paid,” Boston star Jayson Tatum tweeted.
Irving and Luka Doncic are going to try again together in Dallas. Green is going to chase more championships with Stephen Curry in Golden State, just like Middleton is alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee.
And Jerami Grant is staying put in Portland, for serious money. All those decisions came quickly Friday night as free agency in the NBA got off to its traditional fast and free-spending start — with roughly $1.5 billion in deals getting struck in about the first three hours alone.
The biggest deals, in terms of total value, had to wait until after midnight EDT — when the calendar flipped to July 1 for the start of a new league year.
ESPN first reported that Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton and Memphis’ Desmond Bane both agreed to max extensions that will begin in the 2024-25 season; exact figures won’t be known until next season’s salary cap is released, but based on projections, they’ll be worth at least $207 million for five years.
Haliburton’s deal, ESPN said, could be worth $260 million if it goes to a supermax based on his making an All-NBA team. Haliburton was an All-Star this past season for the Pacers, and Bane had a breakout year — averaging 21.5 points for the Grizzlies.
Irving agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal to remain with the Mavericks, who acquired him in a splashy move in February but sputtered down the stretch and missed the playoffs. A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press, the deal taking quite possibly the biggest name in free agency off the board.
The Mavs had made clear that keeping Irving was their top priority — and got it done in the first hour of the NBA’s free agency window that opened at 6 p.m. EDT.
“DA11AS,” Irving tweeted, using his traditional jersey number in there.
Grant is getting $160 million over the next five years, part of a plan that Portland hopes keeps Damian Lillard happy enough to not ask for a trade. Grant is staying put, as is Kuzma in Washington and Cam Johnson in Brooklyn.
Kuzma essentially doubled his annual salary, agreeing to a $102 million, four-year deal with the Wizards. Green got a new contract that’ll pay him $100 million over four seasons with the Warriors. Both of those deals — first reported by ESPN and subsequently confirmed to AP by people with knowledge of the negotiations — got done very quickly once the offseason player movement window opened.
Kuzma had opted out of a contract that would have paid him $13 million in Washington this coming season; he’ll now average $25.5 million over the next four years after scoring 21.2 points per game this past season.
Green staying put keeps him alongside Curry and Klay Thompson with the Warriors, where they have won four titles over the last decade. He opted out of a $27.6 million contract for this coming season, and now is under contract for more years.
Middleton also traded bigger salary in the short term for more years. He could have made $40 million this coming season; instead, he agreed to $102 million over three years to stay with Antetokounmpo and a Bucks team that’s only two years removed from an NBA championship.
Johnson — who flourished and averaged 16.6 points in 25 games with Brooklyn after getting traded there this past season — is getting a four-year, $108 million deal from the Nets, agent Steve Heumann of CAA confirmed to AP.
Toronto kept sought-after center Jakob Poeltl (4 years, $80 million) and New Orleans also saw one of its key players stay put; defensive standout Herb Jones agreed to a four-year, $54 million contract.
The reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets lost a free agent they wanted to keep, with Bruce Brown agreeing to sign with Indiana, a person with knowledge told AP, on a two-year deal that could be worth $45 million. There is an option affecting the second year.
There was simply nothing the Nuggets could do to compete with that offer — they could only offer Brown $7.8 million for this season. Brown will average nearly three times that much over the next two years.
The team that Denver beat for that title, the Miami Heat, also lost a key player from their club. Gabe Vincent agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal to join LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers — who went to the Western Conference finals before falling to the Nuggets. The Lakers also kept Rui Hachimura on a three-year deal worth about $50 million.
The Eastern Conference champion Heat are retaining Kevin Love — who quickly became a locker room leader after arriving in Miami — and brought back former Miami guard Josh Richardson. Love is getting $3.7 million this season; both he and Richardson have an option for 2024-25 as well.
Meanwhile, Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero has a new veteran with him in Orlando; Joe Ingles agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal to join the Magic. And Tre Jones will sign a two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs to play alongside No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama, agent Kevin Bradbury said.
And once VanVleet picked Houston, the Raptors moved quickly to fill their point guard opening and agreed with Dennis Schroder on a two-year, $26 million deal, according to his representation at Priority Sports. Another point guard was on the move not long afterward; 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose agreed to a deal with Memphis — the city where he played his one season of college basketball — in a deal first reported by SNY.
Shortly before the 6 p.m. window opened, the NBA confirmed the financial particulars for the coming season.
The salary cap that goes into effect Saturday will be $136.021 million — the highest in league history, as expected. The tax level is $165.294 million.
All teams will have to commit at least $122.418 million in salaries for the coming year. The first apron level is $172.346 million, the second apron has been established at $182.794 million, the midlevel for non-tax teams is $12.405 million, for taxpayers it is $5 million, and the room mid-level is $7.723 million.
Most deals cannot be officially completed until July 6, when the league’s offseason moratorium is lifted.

Greek stationmaster arrested after crash kills at least 36
TEMPE, Greece (AP) — The stationmaster in the city of Larissa was arrested, Greek police said Wednesday, following a head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train outside a nearby town that flattened carriages, killed at least 36 people and injured some 85.
A police statement identified the suspect only as a 59-year-old man. Another two people have been detained for questioning. The cause of the collision was not immediately clear.
Before dawn the next day, rescuers searched through twisted, smoking wreckage for survivors. What appeared to be the third carriage lay atop the clumped remains of the first two.
Multiple cars derailed and at least three burst into flames after the two trains ran into each other at high speed just before midnight Tuesday, near the town of Tempe in northern Greece.
Many of the approximately 350 people aboard the passenger train were students returning from Greece’s raucous Carnival, officials said. This year was the first time the three-day festival, which precedes Lent, was celebrated in full since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
“This is a terrible tragedy that is hard to comprehend,” said Deputy Health Minister Mina Gaga. “I feel so sorry for the parents of these kids.”
On Wednesday, the government declared three days of national mourning.
“This is an indescribable tragedy,” government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou said, adding that 500 workers from emergency services were at the scene of the crash.
After sunrise, rescuers turned to heavy machinery to start moving large pieces of the trains, revealing more bodies and dismembered remains. Officials said the army had been contacted to assist.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was to visit the scene later in the day.
Costas Agorastos, the regional governor of the Thessaly area, told Greece’s Skai Television the two trains collided head on at high speed.
“Carriage one and two no longer exist, and the third has derailed,” he said.
The trains crashed just before the Vale of Tempe, a gorge that separates the regions of Thessaly and Macedonia.
Survivors said the impact threw several passengers through the windows of train cars. They said others fought to free themselves after the passenger train buckled, slamming into a field near the gorge, about 380 kilometers (235 miles) north of Athens.
“There were many big pieces of steel,” said Vassilis Polyzos, a local resident who said he was one of the first people on the scene. “The trains were completely destroyed, both passenger and freight trains.”
He said dazed and disoriented people were escaping out of the train’s rear cars as he arrived.
“People, naturally, were scared — very scared,” he said. “They were looking around, searching; they didn’t know where they were.”
Eight rail employees were among those killed in the crash, including the two drivers of the freight train and the two drivers of the passenger train, according to Greek Railroad Workers Union President Yannis Nitsas.
Greece’s firefighting service said some 66 people were hospitalized, including six in intensive care.
“The evacuation process is ongoing and is being carried out under very difficult conditions due to the severity of the collision between the two trains,” said fire service spokesperson Vassilis Varthakoyiannis.
More than 200 people who were unharmed in the crash or suffered minor injuries were transported by bus to Thessaloniki, 130 kilometers (80 miles) to the north. Police took their names as they arrived, in an effort to track anyone who may be missing.
A teenage survivor who did not give his name to reporters said that just before the crash he felt a strong braking and saw sparks — then there was a sudden stop.
“Our carriage didn’t derail, but the ones in front did and were smashed,” he said, visibly shaken.
He added that the first car caught fire and that he used a bag to break the window of his car, the fourth, and escape.
Rail operator Hellenic Train said the northbound passenger train to Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, had about 350 passengers on board.
Hellenic Train is operated by Italy’s FS Group, which runs rail services in several European countries.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Tuesday’s hearing consisted of testimony from a senior aide to the former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who says she was disappointed with what she experienced.
“The President said something to the effect of I’m the effing president. Take me up to the capitol now,” Cassidy Hutchinson said.
Tuesday, Hutchinson described how former President Donald Trump became aggressive when his secret service refused to take him to the Capitol on January 6th.
“The President reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel…Mr. Engel grabbed his arm he said sir you need to take your hand off the steering wheel…Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge toward Bobby Engel,” Hutchinson said.
In the build-up to the riot, the committee said DC Metropolitan Police spotted multiple individuals with firearms.
During the hearing, audio played: “And underneath the blue jean jacket, complainants both saw stock of an AR-15”, “That subject’s weapon on his right hip”, “I got three men walking down the street in fatigues carrying AR-15.”
But Hutchinson said Trump was upset that metal detectors were used to prevent armed supporters from attending his rally.
“I don’t effing care that they don’t have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me. Take the f’ing mags away,” Hutchinson said.
While watching the riot play out on television, Hutchinson said Meadows was unemotional.
“He almost had a lack of reaction,” Hutchinson said.
But, Hutchinson said she was disgusted when Trump tweeted that former Vice President Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.
“It was unpatriotic. It was unamerican. We were watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie,”
Hutchinson also said Meadows did seek a pardon from the former President. | https://cw33.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/surprise-jan-6th-hearing-featured-former-white-house-aide-testimony/ | 2022-06-29 02:45:44 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/surprise-jan-6th-hearing-featured-former-white-house-aide-testimony/ |
Ozempic is divisive and creates "a huge class divide"? Well, bariatric surgery is pure quackery, and drugs are garbage. There's an association "to Advance Fat Acceptance"? That's not cool. The New York City ban on discriminating based on weight is fine. Compassion, therapy, nutritional counseling, access to healthy food, are all fine. Drugs are not. We should all take responsibility for our weight and for our health and seek help when we need it. We could advocate for our grocery stores and restaurants to not sell so much junk food.
Healthy food may seem more expensive than junk food, but it's really not. A pound of cherries for $2-$4, a pound of spring mix for $6? That's cheap stuff.
Health and nutrition should be taught in school. After all what's more important than our bodies that we're inside of? And let's stop trying to be druggies.

Ivanka Trump says she won't be involved in her father's presidential campaign
PALM BEACH, Fla. - While Donald J. Trump announced his third bid to run for president, his daughter, Ivanka, was not on stage with him.
This week, the former president's oldest daughter told FOX News she does not plan to be involved in his campaign this time around.
"I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics. While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena," she said. "I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our administration’s accomplishments."
WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 22: Ivanka Trump (R), daughter and assistant to President Donald Trump, plays with her daughter Arabella Rose Kushner (L) in the Rose Garden during a Congressional Picnic on the South Lawn of the White House June 22, 2017 in Was
Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have three children — Arabella, 11, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 6. The couple moved to Miami after spending four years in Washington D.C.
"They are at critical ages, and we are enjoying these moments with them… Time is fleeting, and every parent will tell you it really does go by so quickly," Ivanka said. "We’re happy where we are right now, and we will continue to support my father — as his kids."
Neither Ivanka nor Donald Trump Jr. attended their father’s announcement ceremony at Mar-a-Lago. Instead, Jared Kushner and Kimberly Guilfoyle attended to show their support.
Ivanka explained she is "extremely close" with her father.
"That hasn’t changed and will never change," she stated. "I’ve had many roles over the years but that of daughter is one of the most elemental and consequential. I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life."

She served as a senior advisor in the Trump administration, emphasizing she "never intended to go into politics."
"I’m very proud of what I was able to accomplish," she said. "I left it all on the field, and I don’t miss it."
A source close to Ivanka told Fox News Digital she is always transparent with her father, saying the decision to stay out of politics is not one she made "yesterday."

DENVER — This season hasn’t gone according to plan for Oliver Bjorkstrand, but it’s been far from one note. On Sunday, his shot’s clang off the inside of the right post was the sweetest sound the Kraken bench could imagine.
Bjorkstrand was one of two Kraken forwards who had appeared in the first six games of the Colorado series without scoring. He went on to provide all of Seattle’s scoring in Sunday’s Game 7, including arguably the most important goal in the young franchise’s history — the “2” in a 2-1 victory against the Avalanche.
“Throughout the series, I (would have) liked to contribute with goals and offensively, but I tried to stick with it,” Bjorkstrand said.
“Game 7, I didn’t want to go out not being able to sleep at night because I didn’t perform well. So, I tried to give it a push. Some nights you just kind of feel the puck better, and I feel like this is just one of those nights.”
The third line consisting of Bjorkstrand, Yanni Gourde and Eeli Tolvanen was a resource the Avalanche often didn’t have an answer for. Gourde was rooting pucks out of corners and exchanging shoves and words, all during the same shift. Tolvanen scored the first goal of the postseason and had two of the best chances in Sunday’s first period.
“The biggest thing is they never went away,” coach Dave Hakstol said. The confidence never wavered. The compete level never wavered. Their willingness to go back and play in that role never changed.
“That group collectively drew a lot of real rough minutes against great players. Best thing I can say is they did the job. That’s the best compliment I can pay them.”
Tolvanen saw Bjorkstrand revving up and pitched it up the boards to his linemate on Game 7’s deciding goal.
About four minutes earlier, Bjorkstrand did a sharp turn along the boards to duck his cover and flipped a puck toward the goal mouth, where it went in off an Avalanche defender to make it 1-0 Kraken.
Hakstol said afterward that Bjorkstrand “could have had five tonight.”
“He’s blocking shots, winning races, winning battles, shooting the puck,” said Gourde, who assisted on both goals. “It’s probably his best game of the year.”
That said, third-line winger probably wasn’t the vision many in Seattle had for Bjorkstrand. He steadily put up top-six numbers with the Columbus Blue Jackets and was brought in via trade to continue that trend. He was a huge get last summer as Columbus was shedding salary.
He started the season drifting between Seattle’s top two lines and netted a goal in his first Kraken game — then slipped into a career-high, 17-game goal drought. He’d score a beauty, or two or three in quick succession, and encouraging teammates would drop the old sayings — “monkey’s off the back,” the rest are about to start falling.
But they never dropped consistently until after the All-Star break. He landed sixth on the Kraken in goals (20) and seventh in points (45), missing just one game when his son was born.
The third-line trio first played together the day Tolvanen made his Kraken debut, Jan. 1, and has rarely separated. The preseason forecast was thrown out — chemistry ruled the day.
And it’s not like that line wasn’t contributing offense. Everyone on the Kraken was. That’s kind of their thing.
“Any line can score on any given night,” Bjorkstrand said. “Defensemen, forwards, whatever. It’s how we have success as a team.”
Next up for the Kraken are the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference’s second round. Game 1 is Tuesday in Dallas (6:30 p.m., ESPN).
Rather than buckets of goals, Bjorkstrand’s two-way play was celebrated this season. He showed off his range with that snipe midway through Game 7’s second period.
“I think it’s huge. For us (as a) team and our confidence as a group, bouncing back from last season,” Bjorkstrand, who wasn’t there last season, empathized.
“Obviously, for the city of Seattle. You feel excitement there and how much they want to back us up. It’s fun to be a part of.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/kraken/oliver-bjorkstrand-produced-in-a-big-way-for-kraken-when-it-mattered-most/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-05-02 03:52:14 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/kraken/oliver-bjorkstrand-produced-in-a-big-way-for-kraken-when-it-mattered-most/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

Heavy flooding in Haiti has left at least 42 people dead and 11 missing, the country's disaster response agency said Monday after a weekend of storms.
More than 13,600 homes were lost because of the torrential downpours and mudslides. The worst of the storm hit Haiti's western region, including the capital, but tens of thousands of residents across the Caribbean nation were affected.
Though the weather has since improved, the damage has been done. Crops were affected, rivers burst into roads and major health care centers and schools were heavily damaged.
Aid agencies are trying to assist in providing food and shelter, but the country's prime minister has asked for international help.
Before the storm, nearly half of Haiti's population had already been in need of help because of the country's humanitarian crisis, worsened by gangs, a lack of food and cholera. Its $720 million Humanitarian Response Plan was underfunded, with only 20% of its budget received before the storm further worsened the crisis.
And this is just the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season for the area that's been hard-hit with natural disasters in the past. In 2010, more than 200,000 people died in an earthquake. In 2021, a 7.2 earthquake left at least 1,297 dead, at least 5,700 injured and displaced thousands more.
"I am particularly concerned by this situation at a time when the Haitian population is already highly vulnerable," said Jean-Martin Bauer, Haiti's acting humanitarian coordinator.

MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince put together a ranking of postseason lineups and put the Yankees at No. 5.
Here’s the sample lineup he used:
- RF Aaron Judge (R)
- 1B Anthony Rizzo (L)
- 2B Gleyber Torres (R)
- 3B Josh Donaldson (R)
- DH Giancarlo Stanton (R)
- LF Oswaldo Cabrera (S)
- CF Harrison Bader (R)
- SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R)
- C Jose Trevino (R)
The reason given behind this low ranking is that it is “Judge-centric” being that Judge created 21.7% of the Yankees’ runs.

The Yankees may get some good production from rookie Oswaldo Cabrera, who The Athletic’s Jim Bowden recently named as a candidate to be a playoff breakout star. Cabrera is batting .247/.312/.429 with six home runs and 19 RBI. The switch-hitting infielder may be able to spark something with his dynamic talent in case Judge is having an off day.
The Yankees will play next Tuesday against either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series.

As Southern Californians prepare to flood local beaches in anticipation of the Fourth of July holiday and an oncoming heat wave, experts are warning beachgoers to be vigilant about a surprising hazard: biting sea lions.
As of Tuesday, sea lions had injured at least two people at beaches in Orange County. Channel Islands Marine and Wildlife Institute, which serves Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, has recorded five recent incidents of animals biting beachgoers, including a surfer, paddle boarder, diver and two people on the beach, according to the facility’s executive director, Sam Dover.
So what is behind this unusual behavior — and what should you do if you’re bitten?
The marine mammals have been experiencing seizures or sickness by the hundreds because of an ongoing bloom of toxic algae, experts say.
But “it’s not like this is a rabid sea lion running down the beach chasing people and biting them,” said Dr. Alissa Deming of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach.
“They’re either running into surfers if they’re seizing erratically and accidentally biting them,” she said. “If someone touches them, they can be hyper-reactive and reflexively fly their head back. It’s not like they’re attacking — they’re in a comatose state and if they’re spooked or bump into something, they may bite.”
High concentrations of domoic acid — a neurotoxin produced by the marine algae Pseudo-nitzschia — were first found in waters near Santa Barbara and Ventura counties before making their way south to Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to Deming, the vice president of conservation medicine and science at the mammal center, which serves Orange County.
This algae bloom is one of the largest ever seen in the county, resulting in the most stranded sea lions the facility has dealt with, Deming said.
“This is the worst domoic acid event I’ve ever seen,” she said, “and I’ve worked here for over 10 years.”
Domoic acid events were first documented in the 1990s and have become increasingly common, more severe and longer-lasting in recent years. Algae blooms have historically been driven by climate change and ocean warming, particularly in El Niño years, when the ocean is warmer, and during years with a lot of rainfall, which results in the runoff of fertilizer, feeding the algae.
The algae, which grow during the spring and fall when the upwelling of water results in nutrients from deeper water rising to the surface, builds up in the food chain. Sea lions and dolphins eat the fish that consume the algae, resulting in brain damage, seizures and even death in the marine animals. The toxin doesn’t usually affect humans unless they eat contaminated food.
Deming recommends that, going into the holiday, the public be vigilant at beaches and try to stay at least 50 feet — the length of about four to six cars — from sea lions and other marine mammals. She also urged beachgoers to leash their dogs in case they were to approach any sickened sea lions and to follow the instructions of lifeguards.
“If people give that animal space,” Deming noted, “the chances of them getting bitten is very low.”
But some people frolicking in the water might not be aware of a sickened animal nearby. “Swimmers and surfers are more at risk,” she said.
If you’re bitten, Deming said to seek medical attention immediately. Bites can became infected with bacteria from the sea lion’s mouth or the ocean, and antibiotics could be necessary.
Humans aren’t at risk of getting sickened from domoic acid from a sea lion bite — they would have to consume it to be affected. This can happen through the seafood that is captured in areas during blooms. The California Department of Public Health routinely monitors the coast to sample shellfish such as clams, mussels and scallops to test for domoic acid toxins. Commercial shellfish harvesters are required to provide samples every week to the department for analysis.
Among the recent documented incidents was a boy who was bitten Monday by a sea lion at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point. The child, who has not been publicly identified, was wading in the water about 20 feet from shore, according to Danielle Kennedy, a spokesperson for O.C. Parks. He was treated by lifeguards, released to a guardian and referred to urgent care for treatment. Lifeguards closed the water out of caution.
Another injury caused by a sea lion was reported at Strands Beach at Salt Creek later that day, Kennedy said. The person declined to be treated; lifeguards then closed the water.
Salt Creek Beach was reopened Tuesday morning, and Strands Beach was reopened Wednesday morning. The public has been advised to contact a lifeguard if they see any sea lion, seal or other “aggressive marine mammals” in the area.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that more than 1,000 marine mammals in Southern California have gotten sick or died this month due to the toxic algae.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has teamed up with the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, which serves Los Angeles County, to set up a triage space in the center’s parking lot that will allow the organization to care for an additional 20 animals at a time.
John Warner, the chief executive of the mammal care center, said during a Tuesday news conference that L.A. County had seen “high numbers” of sea lions stranded on its beaches because of domoic acid since the beginning of June.
The Marine Mammal Care Center is at capacity, with 113 animals — about 70 of them are sea lions with domoic acid toxicity. The rest of the animals are from pup season and aren’t ready to be released.
“That’s put additional strain on our capacity,” he said, “which in regular years is enough to care for the marine mammals stranded here.”
To care for the animals still stranded on beaches, Warner said the mammal center had partnered with city and county officials to set up a sea lion resting zone on Venice Beach to keep the animals sequestered from beachgoers.
The Pacific Marine Mammal Center has rescued four to six sea lions a day, and it is approaching capacity, Deming said. There are about 70 animals there now, with more than half of them sickened sea lions; there’s space for about 10 to 15 more.
The center is working on setting up pens to accommodate 10 to 15 more animals with the hope that that would be enough for the Fourth of July weekend.
Dolphins have also been affected by the bloom of toxic algae, Deming said, but the poisoning is usually so severe that by the time rescuers get to the beach, the dolphins have died or are unresponsive to seizure medication and have to be euthanized.
The Pacific Marine Mammal Center has euthanized one dolphin and has responded to about eight to 10 dolphins that were already deceased or died while rescuers tended to the mammals.
When people come across a beached dolphin, Deming urges them to leave it alone even though their instinct may be to push it into the water. The dolphins beach themselves, she said, so they don’t drown during seizures.
Deming said the Pacific Marine Mammal Center had asked the city’s public works department and lifeguards to call the organization about deceased dolphins. The center has only three trucks and often is unable to pick up all of the animals about which they are alerted. In those cases, the center instructs public works employees to remove the dolphins from the beaches.
“Were prioritizing live animals,” she added, “which is understandable.”

HARWOOD, N.D. (AP) — A fire at one of southeastern North Dakota’s oldest churches is being investigated as “suspicious.”
The blaze at Maple Sheyenne Lutheran Church near Harwood was reported about 8 a.m. Friday by a passing motorist who saw smoke coming out of the windows.
West Fargo Rural Fire Chief Steve Baron was first on the scene. He says there was smoke inside the historic church and a propane tank outside the building.
Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says the initial investigation shows “some things that are suspicious.” State and federal agents have joined in the probe.
The church was founded about 150 years ago. It is located about 10 miles northwest of downtown Fargo | https://www.kxnet.com/news/top-stories/fire-at-historic-fargo-area-church-deemed-suspicious/ | 2022-06-17 23:56:30 | 0 | https://www.kxnet.com/news/top-stories/fire-at-historic-fargo-area-church-deemed-suspicious/ |

MERRILLVILLE — The Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority has completed its work defining the boundaries of development districts around seven commuter railroad stations, putting them on track for approval by the State Budget Committee as early as this fall.
In a series of unanimous votes after a Thursday public hearing, the RDA board approved Transit Development Districts around seven South Shore Line and West Lake Corridor stations: Michigan City 11th Street, Portage/Ogden Dunes, Miller, East Chicago, Hammond Gateway, Munster Ridge Road and Munster/Dyer Main Street.
“These districts will enable the RDA to accelerate development and support public infrastructure investment around commuter rail stations in Northwest Indiana,” RDA President and CEO Sherri Ziller said in a statement after the meeting. “We are already seeing hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of projects get underway in Hammond and Michigan City that are directly related to the West Lake and Double Track projects, and in the coming decades we expect billions more in development. This means thousands of new jobs in The Region as well as vastly better access to high-paying careers in Chicago.”

The opportunity to designate TDDs was created by the state in 2017 in anticipation of the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District’s West Lake Corridor and Double Track projects. Within each district of roughly one-half square mile, the incremental growth in property and local income taxes will be collected and used to support further development within the district.
A TDD is officially established with the approval of the State Budget Committee. At that point, baselines are established for property and income tax revenue. In future years, the incremental growth will then be collected in a manner similar to Tax Increment Financing districts.
An outstanding issue that may require resolution by the General Assembly involves the income tax portion of the TDD — whether the taxes it applies to are taxes paid by people employed in the district, or to taxes paid by residents of the district.
The Department of Revenue has ruled that the applicable taxes are those paid by people who work within the district; local officials would prefer it apply to residents, whose numbers are expected to increase significantly with the anticipated transit-oriented development.
David Reynolds of Policy Analytics, the RDA’s financial consultant, said discussions have begun regarding a shift to the local preference, which could require a legislative fix during the next General Assembly. Reynolds noted, though, that the bulk of the TDD revenue will come from the property tax increment.
That anticipated increase in property value has been foreshadowed in the early plans in Michigan City and Hammond that Ziller noted.
The Hammond Gateway Station district stretches south from the railroad into downtown. Plans there include renovating the former Bank Calumet building at 5231 Hohman Ave. to include over 100 residential units and 7,000 square-feet of retail; construction of the Tailor Row apartment complex with 208 units, a bottom floor filled with commercial space and an outdoor plaza on an underutilized parking lot off Hohman Avenue; and construction of Madison Lofts, with about 55 residential units and 87,000 square feet of retail, at the northeast corner of Sibley Street and Hohman Avenue.
In Michigan City, plans for the once-and-future 11th Street Station site call for a 12-story mixed-use development with 208 apartments, more than 10,000 square feet of commercial space and a 558-space parking garage. Other plans include a multi-use development with 200 apartments at the corner of Eighth Street and Michigan Boulevard, and a mixed-use multi-family development project on West Michigan Boulevard, with an eight-story, 180-room hotel and a seven-story, 150-condo building.
“Michigan City used to be a hub of transit,” said Director of Planning Skyler York. “It seems fitting that now we have this opportunity with the TDD and the development that’s happening to reposition Michigan City as a new transit center for the Region.”
“We’re ready for this growth," he said. "We’ve been preparing for 10 years for this growth.”
The TDDs can be doubled in size in the future. They will expire no later than 2047. Maps of them, along with other documents, including the presentation given at Thursday’s meeting, are available at www.in.gov/rda/documents.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnam’s health minister and the mayor of the capital Hanoi have been arrested as part of an expanding investigation into massive price gouging of COVID-19 tests, state media reported.
Nguyen Thanh Long was dismissed from his ministry post and Chu Ngoc Anh, who previously was the science minister, was fired as Hanoi mayor, Tuoi Tre online news outlet reported Tuesday. They are being investigated for abuse of power, according to the Ministry of Public Security, and have been expelled from the ruling Communist Party.
An investigation concluded earlier that mismanagement in the science and health ministries had allowed Viet A Technology Corporation to inflate prices for test kits supplied to hospitals and health centers in Vietnam.
Nearly 60 suspects including ministry officials, public health leaders and military generals have been detained or are being investigated for involvement in the price gouging, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
The report said the two officials’ violations had harmed Vietnam’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and were costly to the state budget.
A deputy science minister, Pham Cong Tac, also was arrested Tuesday and accused of violating regulations on managing state assets.
Viet A took in $172 million for supplying its test kits in 62 localities. Its general director was arrested in December and allegedly admitted his Ho Chi Minh City-based company had inflated the selling price of a test kit to about $20, or 45% more than the original, to earn a difference of $21.5 million.
Phan Quoc Viet allegedly confessed to investigators that he paid illegal kickbacks worth $34 million to his state-owned partners who bought his test kits at the inflated prices. | https://cw33.com/health/ap-health/vietnams-health-minister-arrested-over-covid-test-gouging/ | 2022-06-08 23:36:09 | 1 | https://cw33.com/health/ap-health/vietnams-health-minister-arrested-over-covid-test-gouging/ |
- MSC Seascape, the second ship in the Seaside EVO class, enters final phase of preparation for inaugural season in the Caribbean in four months
- The innovative ship will feature elegant dining venues and immersive entertainment options, all while bringing guests closer to the sea
GENEVA, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MSC Seascape successfully completed her first intensive systems tests at sea during a multi-day trial from August 17-20. This will be MSC Cruises' fourth Seaside-class ship and second in the Seaside EVO subclass built by Fincantieri in Italy, which is one of the world's largest ship building groups.
The Seaside EVO ships are an evolution of the innovative and popular Seaside class with striking design features, stunning public spaces, and exciting new experiences for guests. MSC Seascape pays tribute to the beauty of the ocean and is designed to help guests enjoy new horizons at sea.
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President, MSC Cruises USA, said: "Seeing our new U.S. flagship achieve another major milestone on the way to delivery is incredibly exciting for all of us here at MSC Cruises. Guests love our ongoing commitment to bring the newest and most advanced ships to the U.S. because it gives them access to the very best cruising has to offer. MSC Seascape takes everything that's fantastic about our Seaside-class ships and makes it even better, and sending her to gorgeous destinations like Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve creates an unbeatable vacation experience—on land and at sea."
The 169,400 GT ship will be delivered to MSC Cruises in late November and will come into service in December 2022, sailing year-round from Miami to the Caribbean. Following MSC World Europa, MSC Seascape will be the second MSC Cruises ship to launch this year.
Cruise lovers can be first on board by sailing MSC Seascape's delivery trip across the Atlantic. The MSC Grand Voyage will depart Civatavecchia (Rome) on Saturday, November 19 and make stops in Spain, Portugal and Bermuda prior to arriving in New York City on Monday, December 5—making it a memorable way to spend Thanksgiving at sea.
The naming ceremony for MSC Seascape will take place in New York on December 7, 2022, at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. The new ship will offer two different seven-night itineraries:
- Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve and Nassau in The Bahamas, San Juan in Puerto Rico, and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic
- Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Cozumel in Mexico, George Town in the Cayman Islands and Ocho Rios in Jamaica
As with her sister ship, 65 percent of MSC Seascape's public spaces have been completely reimagined from the original Seaside class design. These spaces will bring the guest experience to the next level and offer beautiful venues and locations to discover new horizons at sea:
- 98 hours of live entertainment per cruise, 7,567 square feet of dedicated kids' space, and cutting-edge amusement options
- 2,270 cabins with 12 different types of staterooms and suites with balconies, including coveted aft suites
- 11 dining venues—plus 19 bars and lounges—with plenty of options for dining and drinking outdoors
- Six swimming pools, including a stunning aft infinity pool with incredible ocean views
- The MSC Yacht Club will be one of the largest and most luxurious in MSC Cruises' fleet, offering more than 32,000 square feet of space with sweeping ocean views from the foredecks of the ship
- An expansive waterfront promenade even closer to the water, stretching nearly 1,800 feet
- A spectacular glass-floored Bridge of Sighs on deck 16 with a unique view of the ocean
The ship will feature the latest environmental technologies, which include selective catalytic reduction systems on each of the four Wartsila 14V 46F engines to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90 percent by converting the gas into harmless nitrogen and water. MSC Seascape's hybrid exhaust gas cleaning system will remove 98 percent of Sulphur Oxide from its emissions.
MSC Seascape is fitted with best-in-class wastewater treatment systems with purification standards higher than most wastewater treatments facilities on land. The vessel is equipped with advanced waste management systems, ballast water treatment systems approved by the United States Coast Guard, the latest-technology systems for the prevention of oil discharges from machinery spaces, and various energy-efficiency improvements – from heat recovery systems to LED lighting able to save energy.
The ship will feature an underwater radiated noise management system to reduce and isolate the potential effects on marine mammals.

The history of television began long before millions of people gathered in front of their black-and-white sets and fiddled with the antenna and horizontal hold to watch Lucy, Uncle Miltie and Howdy Doodie.
"Everybody thinks TV started in the '50s or the late '40s. Almost nobody knows it existed before World War II and even goes back to the '20s," said Steve McVoy, 80, the founder and president of the Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus.
The museum holds a large collection of televisions from the 1920s and 1930s, and scores of the much-improved, post-World War II, black-and-white sets that changed the entertainment landscape. There are also several of the first-generation color sets developed in the early 1950s.
“The original idea for the museum was to deal with the earliest television technology,” McVoy said. “The sets got pretty boring after 1960, just these big things in plastic cabinets.”
The collection is one of the world's largest, rivaled in North America only by the MZTV Museum of Toronto. About 180 television sets are on exhibit, arranged in chronological order, with another 50 in storage.
“So many of the sets were incredible to see in their original form,” said Doron Galili, a research fellow in media studies at Stockholm University and author of “Seeing by Electricity: The Emergence of Television, 1878 – 1939” (Duke University Press).
He visited in 2016, and said the museum gives visitors "a better sense not only of the technological aspects of television history but also of its place within popular culture, and modern design and material culture.”
THE BACKSTORY
McVoy’s personal history with television also goes back many years. When he was 10 and living in Gainesville, Florida, he was fascinated by his family’s first set. “I tinkered with it, much to my parent’s dismay,” he said.
He pulled a little red wagon around the neighborhood with a sign that advertised free television repairs.
“Nobody accepted my offer,” McVoy said, adding it was unlikely he could have repaired a set if anyone had asked.
A few years later, he began working in a television repair shop and learned those skills. He opened his own shop, Freedom TV, in the mid-1960s, repairing sets and installing antennas atop apartment buildings and motels. Soon after, he formed his first cable-television business, Micanopy Cable TV, followed by Coaxial Communications and Telecinema. McVoy sold his cable holdings in 1999 and, looking for something to do, decided to start collecting old television sets.
“I never collected anything before,” he said.
The first set he bought, on eBay, was an RCA TRK 12, which was introduced at the 1939 World’s Fair and retailed at $600, a princely sum at the time.
“I think I paid about a thousand bucks for it,” McVoy said, adding that it was in disrepair and missing several parts. “A complete one would have cost five or six thousand; the pre-war sets are very valuable.”
He refurbished the TRK 12, and began collecting more old sets and visiting other collectors who shared his growing passion.
“All their collections were in their basements and attics,” McVoy said. This, plus his wife’s annoyance at all the old sets cluttering up their living room, hatched the idea to start a museum.
The Early Television Museum opened in 2002 as a non-profit foundation. It’s housed in a large former warehouse. Each room features an audio guide, narrated by McVoy. Press another button on some of the sets and and a few old shows appear.
Until a few years ago, McVoy helped restore many of the museum’s televisions himself. “My eyesight and the stability of my hands makes it difficult now,” he said.

The idea for transmitting pictures goes back to the 1880s. “The problem of television … has not yet been solved,” The New York Times reported on Nov. 24, 1907.
The first crude mechanical televisions were developed in the mid 1920s by John Logie Baird in England and Charles Jenkins in the United States, and relied on rotating discs to transmit pictures. According to the museum, by 1930, “television was being broadcast from over a dozen stations in the U.S., not only in the major cities such as New York and Boston, but also from Iowa and Kansas. Several manufacturers were selling sets and kits.”
The screens were small and the picture quality extremely poor, with lots of “fading and ghosting.” Programming was limited.
Television made what McVoy calls its “formal debut” on April 30, 1939, at that World’s Fair in New York. President Roosevelt’s speech to open the fair was broadcast live, as an NBC mobile unit sent signals to a transmitter atop the Empire State Building. From there, the signals “went out to visual receivers within a fifty-mile radius in the metropolitan area,” reported the New York Daily News.
RCA and General Electric introduced television models at the World’s Fair. A total of about 7,000 sets were made in the United States in 1939 and 1940, and only about 350 still exist, according to the museum.
World War II halted the production of TV sets in the United States. Engineers who learned about radar and aircraft communications then applied that knowledge to TV technology after the war, when a boom in sales and programming began.
There were about 200,000 sets in the U.S. in 1947, and 18 million by the end of 1953, according to McVoy’s research. Audiences loved “I Love Lucy” (which began airing in 1951) and “The Honeymooners” (began 1955).
The color revolution came in 1954. Sales were initially slow, due in part to cost. It wasn’t until the early 1970s that color sets outsold black-and-white ones.
“We have (an example of) virtually every set that is available,” McVoy said.
SEEKING PHILO FARNSWORTH
At the top of his wish list? A set made by electronic-television pioneer Philo Farnsworth in the late 1920s or early 1930s.
“Only three still survive as far as we know and they’re all already in other museums," McVoy said. "If a fourth ever shows up, we’d go to our donors and would be able to get it.”

Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, who has previously expressed his reluctance at amassing wealth, is giving away his company.
The outdoor apparel company will now be in the hands of a trust and a nonprofit organization. All future profits will be donated to help fight climate change, the company announced Wednesday.
"It's been a half-century since we began our experiment in responsible business," Chouinard, 84, said. "If we have any hope of a thriving planet 50 years from now, it demands all of us doing all we can with the resources we have. As the business leader I never wanted to be, I am doing my part."
He added, "Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth, we are using the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source. We're making Earth our only shareholder. I am dead serious about saving this planet."
The Patagonia Purpose Trust will control all voting stock of the company (2%), while the Holdfast Collective, a climate change nonprofit, will own all nonvoting stock (98%).
Chouinard, who is currently a board member, said in a statement that while trying to fight climate change, he realized his company was contributing to it. So he had been thinking about what to do with the business.
One option was to sell it and donate the money, but Chouinard said he was concerned new owners might not hold the same values or keep the same employees. The other option was to become a publicly traded entity.
"What a disaster that would have been," he said. "Even public companies with good intentions are under too much pressure to create short-term gain at the expense of long-term vitality and responsibility."
The company will continue to give 1% of its earnings to grassroots environmental groups, and the leadership will not change.

The Bills have been among the best teams in the AFC for the last three seasons, but they have not been able to finish the job in the postseason.
Losses in Kansas City ended the 2020 and 2021 seasons and the Bills’ misery was extended with a 27-10 drubbing at the hands of the Bengals this year. This loss took place on a snowy day in Buffalo, so nabbing the home field advantage the Bills had been chasing didn’t turn out to be much help to the cause.
The run of unhappy endings may have some people wondering if the Bills can keep trying the same things if they want to get a different result. After Sunday’s loss, however, Bills head coach Sean McDermott did not sound like someone who thinks this team’s window to win a championship is closing.
“This is a good football team and you learn from things like this ,” McDermott said, via the team’s website. “You keep knocking on the door. That’s what you do. You stay steadfast in your focus and your approach. You work your tail off. Again, that’s a good football team we just played, and they played better than we did. They coached better than we did. And we’ve got to learn from this and make the proper adjustments so we can continue to move this organization forward because that’s the direction we’re heading. That’s what we have to do if we want to continue to knock at this door and move beyond where we were this year. So the goal hasn’t changed and won’t change for this organization. And we’ve got to continue to do everything we can to get there. That’s the goal.”
Every offseason brings changes and the Bills have used the last couple to try to find the missing pieces of their championship puzzle. That hasn’t worked out and now we’ll see if the next few months feature a different approach to their attempt to scale the final mountain. | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcdermott-you-keep-knocking-on-the-door | 2023-06-30 11:41:38 | 0 | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcdermott-you-keep-knocking-on-the-door |
Milliman PPFS plans hit funding shortfall of $1.63 trillion as of December 31 due to market losses
SEATTLE, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today released the results of its annual Public Pension Funding Study (PPFS), which explores the funded status of the nation's 100 largest public defined benefit pension plans.
As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate funded ratio of the Milliman 100 PPFS plans dropped to an estimated 72.6% from a study high of 85.5% a year earlier. Aggregate plan assets stood at approximately $4.35 trillion at the end of 2022, while liabilities totaled an estimated $5.98 trillion on that date. Market performance drove this result, as the plans experienced estimated investment losses of 11.6% during calendar-year 2022. Current market return expectations now slightly exceed plan investment return assumptions for the first time since the PPFS began in 2012.
"Going forward, if the 'new normal' for inflation and interest rates continues to remain above 2019 levels, there may be some upward movement in the plans' expected investment return assumptions," said Becky Sielman, co-author of Milliman's PPFS. "But if inflation and interest rates revert back to their very low pre-pandemic levels, plan sponsors are unlikely to raise their return assumptions."
The PPFS results are based on Milliman's independent analysis and data from the plans' most recent fiscal year-end reports (measurement dates as of June 30, 2021, for three-quarters of the plans in our study).

Which farmhouse end table is best?
Farmhouse furniture is a popular style that gives your space a cozy, down-home feel. It celebrates the aesthetics of simple rural living without forfeiting modern comforts. If you’re looking to furnish your room in this decor, adding some farmhouse end tables can add true rustic charm. Many farmhouse-style end tables are made out of distressed wood and come in light or neutral colors.
If you want a lovely two-toned piece, Laurel Foundry Modern Farmhouse Isakson Tall Trestle End Table is a top pick.
What to know before you buy a farmhouse end table
Farmhouse style elements
Farmhouse decor prioritizes function and practicality, which is why furniture in this style aims for simplicity over ornamentation. Many favor natural materials, such as reclaimed wood, wicker, metal and stone. The upholstery is often made of cotton, canvas or linen. Colors are also natural and neutral, highlighting earth tones, grays, whites and beiges. You’ll usually see accent colors in light blue, green or yellow.
Uses
An end table is a small table you can place next to your couch, sofa or comfy chair. They’re about the same height as the arm of a chair, making it easy to reach a book or a cup. End tables are also a great spot for a decorative vase, table lamp, clock or a candle.
Material
Most farmhouse end tables are made from wood. Natural wood showcases the grain, though some manufacturers paint their wooden end tables. Distressed or weathered wood is a popular look. You’ll also see end tables made from antiqued metal, such as bronze or iron, which have a vintage look.
Shape
End tables come in various shapes, often using a square, rectangular or round tabletop. Select end tables come in a drum or barrel shape. The main consideration when choosing a shape is that it’ll fit in the space you’re placing it. Farmhouse style focuses more on a mix-and-match style instead of a coordinated look, so don’t try too hard to match your end table with existing furniture.
Size
Most end tables measure 18 to 24 inches in height. You want your end table to be within 2 inches of the height of your sofa arm. Also, you don’t want an end table that’s lower than the sofa or chair you’re placing it next to. And you want it wide enough to place your items, ideally around 20 inches wide. Before purchasing an end table, check its dimensions to ensure it fits in your space.
What to look for in a quality farmhouse end table
Storage
For added versatility, select an end table that has storage. Look for tables with shelves beneath the tabletop for open storage or, if you prefer closed storage, one with a drawer or cabinet.
Nesting
Nesting farmhouse end tables come in a set of two or more tables. Each table fits beneath one another in descending sizes. This is a good option in small spaces because you can pull out the extra tables when you need them or leave them under the primary end table when you don’t.
Legs and accents
Most farmhouse end tables feature the traditional four legs. You may also see curved legs or a single, pedestal-style leg. While simplicity dominates the farmhouse style, you may also see minimal accents such as a scalloped apron or crossbuck.
How much you can expect to spend on a farmhouse end table
Quality farmhouse end tables vary in price depending on materials, size and brand. They start at $60 and can cost upwards of $200.
Farmhouse end table FAQ
Where does farmhouse style get its name?
A. Farmhouse style is influenced by the original homesteads in the rural U.S. when function and practicality were more important than frills. The early settlers sourced materials from one’s immediate surroundings, either through repurposing or relying on natural resources such as timber.
Can I use a farmhouse end table as a nightstand?
A. Absolutely. Many end tables have similar dimensions to a nightstand. Look for one with a drawer or cabinet to place by your antiqued bed.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA, UAA) today announced the release of its 2021 Sustainability & Impact Report, outlining a new sustainability framework, goals, and targets that will guide the company's work to reduce the environmental footprint associated with its products and operations while accelerating its social and community impact.
Aligned with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainable Accounting Standard Board (SASB) industry standards, the report outlines 23 goals and targets designed to drive company progress across three key pillars – Products, Home Field, and Team – and underscore Under Armour's core values, including 'Act Sustainably' and 'Stand for Equality.'
"As a global innovator and leader in athletic performance apparel, footwear, and accessories, we believe Under Armour has an important role to play in addressing impending challenges facing our society, industry, and planet. This belief informs our innovation methods and compels us to rethink, reinvent, and reimagine our products and how we make them in our work to support athletes and protect people and our shared planet," said Colin Browne, Under Armour Interim President and CEO. "Mindful that lasting change will require global cooperation across communities and industries, our new report conveys our renewed commitments to continuous improvement, industrywide collaboration, and transparent communication with our stakeholders in our ongoing sustainability journey."
Under Armour's sustainability approach, What's Under Matters, reflects the company's mission to make athletes better by focusing on performance-driven innovations that utilize more sustainable materials designed for recyclability and more efficient production processes in its delivery of durable, quality, high-performing products athletes know and trust.
"The details underlying a company's sustainability strategy are foundational to its longevity and ability to generate lasting impact. For this reason, Under Armour has worked diligently over the years to finalize our approach and take concerted action before releasing this report," said Michael Levine, Under Armour VP and Chief Sustainability Officer. "We're pleased to share our accomplishments and perspective on our future goals, and we look forward to providing updates on our progress."
A selection of report highlights within each pillar follows:
Products – Through 10 goals, the company is embracing material innovations that will enable less waste and more durability, setting the stage for circular systems by 2030, including:
- Prioritizing recycled and renewable materials and reducing single-use plastic brand product packaging by 75% by 2025.
- Implementing sustainability and circular design principles in at least half of its products by 2027 and developing chemistry and processes that can enable a circular footwear program to be launched in market, at scale, by 2030. At the end of 2021, approximately 40% of fabrics used in the company's apparel and accessories were made from materials capable of being recycled.
- Supporting innovation that reduces fiber shedding from textiles and targeting 75% of fabric to be made of low-shed materials, as defined by industry-leading guidance on fabric shedding that the company will work collectively to shape by 2030.
Home Field – The company is working to reduce its overall environmental footprint and do its part to protect the planet through seven goals, including:
- Eliminating 100% of biocides and fluorine DWR in its products by 2025.
- Reducing absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and increasing renewable energy in owned and operated facilities to 100% by 2030.
- Advancing low-impact manufacturing, reducing the environmental impact of its materials, and targeting net-zero emissions by 2050.
Team – The company is supporting its people and communities through six goals that build upon longstanding efforts, including:
- Continuing to invest in teammates' health, safety, and well-being – including through initiatives to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion and develop underrepresented talent at all levels.
- Protecting workers' human rights and well-being in its supply chain through comprehensive programs and audits.
- Working to create opportunities for millions of youths to engage in sports by 2030.

NEW YORK (AP) —
Walmart reported strong third quarter profits and revenue as more Americans seek to cut spending in face of high inflation.
Also on Tuesday, Walmart agreed to pay $3.1 billion to settle lawsuits nationwide over the impact of prescriptions its pharmacies filled for powerful prescription opioid painkillers. The agreement must still be approved by 43 states to take effect, but company shares jumped 6% before the opening bell.
The settlement is similar to those already announced by CVS Health and Walgreen Co.
Walmart, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, lost $1.79 billion or 66 cents per share for the quarter ended Oct. 31, including the opioid settlement. That compares with a profit of $3.11 billion or $1.11 per share. Adjusted per share results were profit of $1.50 which handily beat analysts’ estimates for $1.32 per share.
Sales rose 8.7% to $152.81 billion, above estimates of $147.7 billion, according to FactSet.
Sales at stores opened at least a year rose 8.2%, higher than the 6.5% in the previous quarter. , Online sales rose 16%.
Walmart is the first major retailer to report fiscal third-quarter results and is considered a barometer of spending given its size so analysts carefully parse through the data.
Walmart benefited in the early days of the pandemic as shoppers spent heavily to outfit their homes during the pandemic.
But American spending has shifted since the pandemic, away from casual clothes and TVs, and more on necessities. Elevated inflation is also presenting challenges for Walmart and other retailers as low-income shoppers trim spending.
Investors were rattled in July when Walmart lowered its profit outlook for the second quarter and year, saying rising prices on food and gas are forcing shoppers to cut back on discretionary items, particularly clothing, that carry higher profit margins. The last time Walmart lowered its profit outlook mid-quarter was in October 2015.
Amazon said late last month that it returned to profitability in its third quarter after two consecutive quarters of losses, but also posted weaker-than-expected revenue and disappointing projections for the current quarter.
The good news is that inflation has begun to moderate. Consumer inflation reached 7.7% in October from a year earlier and 0.4% from September, the Labor Department said earlier this month. The year-over-year increase, a slowdown from 8.2% in September, was the smallest rise since January. Food price increases also moderated. By contrast, energy prices rebounded last month after having fallen in August and September.

Eric Brown, a lieutenant with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, told reporters Monday that the crossing where the accident happened was uncontrolled and did not have lights nor a stop arm to warn drivers of an oncoming train.
"It's an uncontrolled crossbuck intersection on a gravel road. So no lights, no electronic control devices, things such as that," Brown said. "A lot of your rural intersections are that way."

The Walt Disney Co. will start cutting about 3% of its global workforce this week as part of a "strategic realignment" of the company.
Disney announced the layoffs in February as part of a targeted $5.5 billion cost-cutting initiative.
Disney CEO Bob Iger sent an internal memo this week to employees, saying the company plans to slash about 7,000 jobs over the next few months.
"This week, we begin notifying employees whose positions are impacted by the company’s workforce reductions," Iger said. "Leaders will be communicating the news directly to the first group of impacted employees over the next four days. A second, larger round of notifications will happen in April with several thousand more staff reductions, and we expect to commence the final round of notifications before the beginning of the summer to reach our 7,000-job target."
SEE MORE: Why is Gov. DeSantis ending Disney's special status?
The cuts affect several divisions of the company, including Disney Entertainment, ESPN, and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
The announcement cited "further deterioration" of economic conditions as one of the reasons for layoffs.
Disney, which owns Hulu, Marvel and Pixar, said it plans to focus more on its core brands.
"I am committed to positioning this company for a new era of growth," Iger said. "Our strategic restructuring will return creativity to the center of the company, increase accountability, improve results, and ensure the quality of our content and experiences.”

BERLIN (AP) — Climate activists in Austria on Tuesday attacked a famous painting by artist Gustav Klimt with a black, oily liquid and one then glued himself to glass protecting the painting’s frame.
Members of the group Last Generation Austria tweeted they had targeted the 1915 painting “Death and Life” at the Leopold Museum in Vienna to protest their government’s use of fossil energies.
After throwing the liquid on the painting, which wasn’t damaged, one activist was pushed away by a museum guard while another glued his hand to the glass over the painting’s frame.
The group defended the protest, saying in a tweet that they were protesting “oil and gas drilling,” which they called “a death sentence to society.”
In a video of the incident, which the group posted online, one of the activists can be heard shouting that “we have known about the problem for 50 years — we must finally act, otherwise the planet will be broken.”
“Stop the fossil fuel destruction. We are racing into a climate hell,” he added.
After the attack, police arrived at the museum and the black liquid was quickly cleaned off the glass protecting the painting, Austria Press Agency reported.
Despite thorough controls at the museum’s entrance, the activists succeeded in bringing the liquid inside by hiding it in a hot water bottle under their clothes, the agency reported.
The museum’s restoration team said later that while the painting itself hadn’t been harmed, the damage to the glass and security framing, as well as to the wall and floor, was “evident and significant,” APA reported.
Hans-Peter Wipplinger, the director of the Leopold Museum, told APA that the concerns of the climate activists were justified, “but attacking works of art is definitely the wrong way to implement the targeted goal of preventing the predicted climate collapse.”
He appealed to the group to find other ways to make their concerns known.
Austria’s culture minister also expressed understanding for “the concerns and also the desperation” of the activists, but criticized their form of protest.
“I do not believe that actions like these are purposeful, because the question arises whether they do not rather lead to more lack of understanding than to more awareness of the climate catastrophe,” Andrea Mayer said.
“From my point of view, accepting the risk of irrevocable damage to works of art is the wrong way to go,” the minister added. “Art and culture are allies in the fight against climate catastrophe, not adversaries.”
The Klimt work is an oil on canvas painting in the Art Nouveau style depicting death on the left side and a group of partially naked, hugging people on the right side. It’s one of the latest pieces of art to be targeted by climate activists to draw attention to global warming.
Different activist groups have staged numerous demonstrations in recent months, including blocking streets and throwing mashed potatoes at a Claude Monet painting in Germany.
The British group Just Stop Oil threw tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” in London’s National Gallery last month.
Just Stop Oil activists also glued themselves to the frame of an early copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, and to John Constable’s “The Hay Wain” in the National Gallery.

Psychiatrist says Sandy Hook parents fear for their lives
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The parents of a Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victim live with a complex form of post-traumatic stress disorder and a constant fear that followers of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones will kill them, a psychiatrist testified Monday at Jones’ defamation trial.
Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, have sued Jones and his media company Free Speech Systems over the harassment and threats they and other parents say they’ve endured for years while Jones and his Infowars website claimed the 2012 attack that killed 20 first graders and six school staffers was a hoax or faked.
“The overwhelming cause of their pain is what Jones is doing,” said Roy Lubit, a forensic psychiatrist hired by the plaintiffs to review the trauma faced by the parents.
The post-traumatic stress disorder the parents suffer from is not based on a single event, but on constant trauma, and is similar to that endured by soldiers in war zones or child abuse victims, Lubit said.
Heslin and Scarlett Lewis are consumed not just with the memory of their son’s horrific death, but the denials and attacks on them and their son’s legacy they’ve endured for years. He noted the security the parents hired to protect them at the two-week trial.
Lubit said Heslin has had guns fired at his home and has been accosted on the street. Scarlett Lewis told Lubit that she installed sophisticated surveillance equipment at her home and sleeps with a gun, a knife and pepper spray at her bedside.
“They are very, very frightened (that) someone, some follower of Jones is trying to kill them,” Lubit said.
Jones’ attorney Andino Reynal tried to attack the credibility of Lubit’s testimony and whether he is biased in favor of the parents, who are seeking at least $150 million in the case. He noted that Lubit briefly ran for Congress in Connecticut as a Democrat in 2018.
“You don’t like Alex Jones, do you?” Reynal asked.
“I don’t like what he does,” Lubit answered.
Monday’s testimony also included videotaped depositions from an Infowars reporter who said that at the website, there was no fact-checking, source-vetting, verifying information through second sources or training about journalistic standards.
Jones, who has attended only some of the trial, was not in the courtroom for Monday morning’s testimony. Heslin, Lewis and their older son J.T. Lewis, who was in middle school when his younger brother Jesse was killed, might testify in the afternoon.
The trial is in Texas because Jones lives in Austin and his media company, Free Speech Systems, is based there. The company filed for federal bankruptcy protection, though defense attorneys say that should not disrupt the trial, which is in its second week.
Free Speech Systems, which operates Infowars, listed $14.3 million in assets. That includes almost $1.16 million in cash and almost $1.6 million in property and equipment, as of May 31.
It also listed $79 million in liabilities, with a $54 million debt owed to PQPR Holdings.
Sandy Hook families have separately sued Jones over the $54 million debt listing, arguing that PQBR is a Nevada-registered company owned by Jones and his family through shell entities. That lawsuit in state court is still pending.
Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax involving actors aimed at increasing gun control. In both states, judges issued default judgements against Jones without trials because he failed to respond to court orders and turn over documents.

EUGENE, Ore., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Association for Recorded Sound Collections announces a no strings attached "genius grant" of up to $10,000 to persons who are advancing the field of historical sound recordings on their own time and their own dime.
The ARSC Award for Independent Initiatives recognizes individuals who, through their self-directed and self-financed pursuits of knowledge and know-how, have become innovators and experts in the field of historic audio. They are collectors assembling specialized private libraries; inventors developing technologies to better protect and preserve our audio heritage; scholars illuminating recorded sound's technological history and cultural impacts; enthusiasts educating the public about historical recordings. The lessons these individuals can offer the field are potentially significant. Yet too often their innovations and expertise go unrecognized and unutilized.
The ARSC Award for Independent Initiatives celebrates such initiatives, independently undertaken by individuals outside of their professional duties, which are yielding exemplary outcomes and promising to yield more. The award materially supports such initiatives and elevates them as exemplars. It acknowledges these innovators and disseminates their expertise for the benefit of all.
ARSC is now accepting nominations for the award. Anyone can nominate a candidate. Individuals who are materially and avocationally contributing to the preservation, availability and appreciation of sound recordings will be seriously considered. Individuals may not apply for the award on their own behalf. However, ARSC wants to hear from those who believe their personal initiatives are worthy of consideration. Awareness of such work may lead to future nominations.
Nominations are being accepted through the end of this year. Recipients will be selected and notified early in 2023 and announced at ARSC's annual conference, May 17-20 in Pittsburgh, PA.
The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings—in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods. In addition to an annual conference, ARSC publishes a peer-reviewed journal and offers grants for recorded sound preservation and research. ARSC is unique in bringing together private individuals and institutional professionals—everyone with a serious interest in recorded sound.

Which Dino Ranch toy is best?
If your kid is a fan of “Dino Ranch,” you will be ecstatic to learn the show has inspired a number of toys. Now, your child can take the characters they love and create their own wild “pre-westoric” adventures.
The best Dino Ranch toy is one that includes your child’s favorite character, whether it is a Rancheroo or a Dino. The Dino Ranch Blitz Plush is a favorite because it lets your child carry and cuddle the popular Blitz, a lightning-fast velociraptor. If you’re not familiar with the characters, it’s important to learn who is who before making a purchase.
What to know before you buy a Dino Ranch toy
What is “Dino Ranch”?
“Dino Ranch” is an animated TV series on Disney+ that is about life on a farm that raises dinosaurs. The show is designed to entertain kids 2-5 years old and features a cast of vibrant characters committed to doing what’s right. Each fast-paced episode is filled with adventure, thrills and just a little peril. Some of the dinosaurs are loud and aggressive, which may be upsetting for younger children, but the episodes always have happy endings.
Who are the main “Dino Ranch” characters?
Although there are adults and many dinosaurs in the series, “Dino Ranch” mainly revolves around three kids and their dinosaurs.
Jon Cassidy: Jon is the 10-year-old leader of the three Cassidy siblings. He is athletic and aspires to be a great dino-trainer like Pa.
Blitz: Blitz is Jon’s super-fast velociraptor.
Min Cassidy: Min is the 8-year-old middle child of the Cassidy clan. She is in training to become a dino doctor, and she uses her medical knowledge to care for sick or injured dinos.
Clover: Clover is Min’s kind-hearted brontosaurus.
Miguel Cassidy: The youngest member of the family is Miguel. At just 6 years old, Miguel is an accomplished inventor who builds many things.
Tango: Tango is Miguel’s powerful and helpful triceratops.
Individual Dino Ranch toys can be assembled to form a larger playset
Dino Ranch toys are not your average toy dinosaurs. Besides featuring the main characters from the series, both human and dino, there are playsets that include vehicles and buildings as well. Each playset is designed to combine with other playsets, so your child can have an ever-growing Dino Ranch.
What to look for in a quality Dino Ranch toy
Type of playset your child likes
There are four main types of Dino Ranch toys currently offered by Jazwares: people, dinos, vehicles and playsets. If your child had their heart set on a plush Blitz and you purchased a Dino Hatchery playset, they might not be as happy as you hoped. Talk with your child before purchasing a Dino Ranch toy to find out which type they would most like to have.
How much you can expect to spend on a Dino Ranch toy
If you want a Rancheroo and their dino, that will cost less than $10. For a playset that includes multiple characters, building fronts and other special items, you will be looking at around $20.
Dino Ranch toy FAQ
How many seasons has “Dino Ranch” been on?
A. While Dino Ranch is extremely popular, the show has only been on for one year (20 episodes). The series has been renewed for a second season.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rosie Torres of Robstown, Texas, is no Washington lobbyist, but she’s been making the long trek to Capitol Hill for some 13 years, knocking year after year on lawmakers’ doors. Her mission: Alert them — convince them — that something awful has been happening to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans as a result of constant exposure to toxic military burn pits.
Torres’ husband, Le Roy, suffers from constrictive bronchitis, a respiratory condition that narrowed his airways and made breathing difficult. Rosie is sure it’s from his exposure to burn pits on his base in Iraq. But last week, even with the Senate just hours away from boosting health and disability benefits for veterans like her husband, she still wasn’t sure she had won over lawmakers, despite earlier votes indicating the bill was on the right track.
“It was still too good to be true,” Torres said. “Even when my senators voted, I said, ‘Something is up.'”
Torres was among the veterans and family members camped out at the Capitol last week, refusing to leave until the Senate passed the bill by a final vote of 86-11. That vote, lopsided at the last, was a momentous victory for a movement that has been years in the making but gained serious traction only during the current Congress.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to sign the bill into law on Wednesday.
The White House ceremony culminates an effort that began with the vets themselves and their harrowing stories, eventually amplified for public attention by comedian-activist Jon Stewart and personally embraced by the president, who has voiced his suspicion that burn pits led to his elder son’s death.
In the end, the bill received unanimous support from Democrats and a majority of Republicans despite its hefty price tag, estimated at roughly $280 billion over 10 years.
‘LET'S FULL-THROTTLE AND GET THIS GOING'
Another Texan, former Marine Tim Jensen, who served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005, was also part of the gathering outside the Capitol last week. He said he lost his best friend, Sgt. Frank Hazelwood, to lung cancer, and two other battalion colleagues to illnesses he attributes to serving near burn pits.
“They were all cancers of the brain and the lungs, and these were not cancers typical of that age group,” Jensen said.
He got actively involved some four years ago after a phone call with Torres, who had started an advocacy organization with her husband — Burn Pits 360. The organization serves as a clearinghouse for grim stories related by veterans and their families about the impact they believe burn pits have had on their lives.
What are these burn pits? Big, smelly and nothing anyone would want to breathe, they were commonly used by the military until several years ago to dispose of such things as chemicals, tires, plastics and medical and human waste.
Former Marine Jensen said a pivotal moment in the quest for federal help occurred when Stewart joined the effort, bringing the publicity that comes with celebrity attention.
“Rosie Torres and Burn Pits 360 have been working on this for over 10 years and they were getting very little traction," Jensen said. "They needed some bigger push, right, to get it into a national conversation.”
Then the White House invited Danielle Robinson, the widow of Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson of Ohio, to attend Biden’s State of the Union address in March. During the address, Biden raised the possibility that being near burn pits led to the death of his son Beau.
“We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops,” Biden said in the speech. “But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.”
Jensen said, “That’s when we knew we now have the attention and let’s full-throttle and get this thing going."
“That certainly energized Democrats in the Senate and the House to move,” said Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
On the House side, Rep. Mark Takano, chairman of that chamber’s Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, announced in early 2021 that helping veterans who experienced toxic exposure would be one of the panel's priorities for the coming Congress. That was not long after Biden had taken the oath of office.
Takano, a California Democrat, recalled on the House floor last month how he briefed the president. He said Biden leaned over and started talking about Beau, who died from brain cancer at age 46. He had served in Iraq for about a year in 2008 and 2009.
“It was during that meeting when I knew I had a partner in President Biden," Takano said.
The congressman was intent on avoiding a piecemeal approach. He didn't want the legislation to pit vets from one war against those of another in a fight for limited Department of Veterans Affairs resources.
The bill not only expands health and disability benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans but contains provisions to aid more Vietnam-era vets exposed to Agent Orange. It also provides support to veterans exposed to water contamination at North Carolina’s Camp LeJeune and to radiation in Palomares, Spain, site of one of the largest nuclear disasters in history, and Enewetak Atoll of the Marshall Islands, where the U.S. conducted numerous nuclear tests.
The House passed the first iteration of the bill in March. The vote was 256-174 with most Republicans opposing. They cited costs and the strain it would cause on a VA already struggling to meet current workloads.
‘DO YOUR DUTY AND PASS THIS’
A few weeks after the House vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., joined Stewart, veterans advocates and Danielle Robinson for a news conference in which she described what it was like being with her husband, for whom the bill is named, in his final moments as he died from lung cancer.
“I ask you to do your duty and pass this,” she implored.
Schumer promised the bill would get a vote in the Senate. “Everyone is going to have to show where they stand, and whose side they are on,” he said.
The Senate was at work on its own version of the bill. Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, said the veterans groups were clear that the bill was the panel's No. 1 priority.
Tester had cooperative partners in Moran and Republican John Boozman of Arkansas, with their discussions focused on making sure the VA would be ready for the workload.
“We were talking with the VA. ... Are we setting you up for failure? Is this something you can deliver on?” Tester said. “And they assured us they could. There were a few changes we had to make and we made them.”
Those changes included staggering the start for some of the benefit enhancements and providing more flexibility for hiring staff. The changes also helped trim tens of billions of dollars in spending from the House version, giving more Republicans reason to support the final product once it went back to the House.
The slightly trimmed bill ended up passing both chambers with significant bipartisan support. But then lawmakers discovered it contained a revenue-related provision that had to originate in the House, requiring a do-over for a technical fix.
That’s normally a formality, but the do-over was complicated when Republicans unexpectedly blocked the burn pits bill from advancing last month. That was shortly after Schumer announced he had reached agreement with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on a party-line health and climate package paid for in part with higher taxes on corporations. Republicans were angry about that. Veterans were angry, too, that their burn pits bill was blocked, some felt, in retaliation.
Many would spend the next days camped out at the Capitol, taking shifts in Washington’s oppressive humidity and thunderstorms. They got a celebratory ending last week when the Senate passed the measure after giving Republicans a chance to vote on amendments, all defeated.
Moran said the vote reaffirmed to him the Senate could work.
“I’ve never worked or been a United States senator when the Senate functioned well. I missed the days in which that was the case,” he said. “It’s a pleasing circumstance that every so often there are issues and people that come together.” | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Burn-pits-recognition-for-veterans-took-decade-of-17360761.php | 2022-08-09 04:53:31 | 0 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Burn-pits-recognition-for-veterans-took-decade-of-17360761.php |

SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
You won't see it in the Russian news, but there is unrest in Russia over that country's invasion of Ukraine. Over 15,000 people have been detained since the start of the war - some just for holding up a blank piece of paper or waving a copy of Tolstoy's "War And Peace." Among those detained is Vladimir Kara-Murza. He's a prominent opposition politician and activist. He was arrested on April 11, a day after he called Vladimir Putin's government a regime of murderers. We're joined now by Evgenia Kara-Murza. She's a project manager of the Free Russia Foundation, and she joins us now from metropolitan Washington, D.C. Thanks so much for being with us.
EVGENIA KARA-MURZA: Thank you very much for having me here today.
SIMON: May we ask if you've heard from your husband one way or another?
KARA-MURZA: My only contact with Vladimir is through his lawyer in Moscow. I do not have any direct contact with Vladimir. I have not had any direct contact with him for almost two months.
SIMON: Hmm. Do you know - it's a ridiculous question in some ways. But you know how he's doing in a Russian prison?
KARA-MURZA: He's doing as well as you can do in a Russian prison notorious for torture, humiliation and all kinds of mistreatment of inmates. Yesterday, Moscow's Basmanny court extended Vladimir's pretrial detention until August the 12th, which did not come as a surprise, of course. But it does not make the entire case against my husband less odious.
You mentioned those 15,000 people who have already been detained since the beginning of the war, and that number is growing daily. The Russian Duma adopted a law criminalizing any form of dissent, punishable by up to 15 years in prison for disseminating - as the government calls it - knowingly false information about the use of Russian armed forces. So this is what we're dealing with in Russia nowadays. This is the reality of today's Russia.
SIMON: Your husband, I gather, suspects he's been poisoned at least twice. And obviously, that has happened with other dissidents. Yet he returned to Russia after the start of the Russian invasion. May I ask, did you have a family discussion about why he would do that?
KARA-MURZA: Vladimir has always identified himself as a Russian politician. He is a patriot. He's a true Russian patriot. In my husband's view, he would not have the moral right to call on Russians to continue opposing the regime, standing up to Putin, if he himself were somewhere safe, if he himself were not sharing the same risks and the same challenges faced by Russians back home. This is my husband, the man I admire for his position and his principled stand, and I will always support him 100%.
SIMON: I have to ask, is it realistic to think that the Putin regime will be ousted or will disappear or will be voted out of office?
KARA-MURZA: Every dictator in the history of the human race believed himself to be invincible. And every dictator eventually fell. And I believe that with this unprovoked and bloody war in Ukraine, Mr. Putin signed his - what is the expression? - death warrant. And we do believe that Putin cannot be allowed to win this war.
SIMON: Mmm-hmm.
KARA-MURZA: He cannot be allowed to represent anything as a victory in this war because as it happened before, had he been punished for his previous military interventions, I believe this war would not have happened.
SIMON: Ms. Kara-Murza, I think I have to ask this weekend, what do you say to those Americans who might feel very deeply for the way you and your husband have suffered and the price you've paid for your beliefs, but they just don't want to get involved? Inflation is at a high now in part because of the cost of Russian oil. And they say, look, it's terrible, but that's Russia's business, not of ours.
KARA-MURZA: This is not only Russia's business because internal aggression always leads to external aggression, as it happened with the regime of Vladimir Putin. And so I believe that silence is complicity, and I believe that we cannot be silent in the face of something as monstrous as the regime of Vladimir Putin.
SIMON: That's Evgenia Kara-Murza. She's a project manager of the Free Russia Foundation, and she is married to Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is in a Russian jail as we speak. Thank you so much for being with us.
KARA-MURZA: Thank you very much for having me here today.

NANTICOKE — After touring the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 163’s Advanced Technology Center on Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said he came away very impressed at what happens there.
“After seeing this facility and hearing about the programs offered, I can say our workers are ready and our region is ready to meet the demands of our growing economy,” Casey said. “It speaks to what these workers mean to our community and our economy.”
Casey, D-Scranton, visited IBEW Local 163’s Advanced Technology Center at 41 West Church St., Nanticoke, to announce $92,880 in federal funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The IBEW Local 163 Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee will be able to train and place an estimated 60 trainees in jobs as Qualified Electrical Workers within three years.
The funding was awarded with a 50-50 match, meaning that ARC provided a grant worth $92,880 that was matched by $92,880 in local funds for a total project funding amount of $185,760. The grant award will be used to purchase supplies and equipment needed to train apprentices at the new Advanced Technology Center (ATC).
John Nadolny, Training Director, IBEW Local 163, said the IBEW Local 163 training facility houses night class training to local electricians to prepare them for full apprenticeship and successful graduation to full-time work in their new trade.
Nadolny said there is a growing demand for the apprenticeship programs at IBEW Local 163 JATC and there are no comparable electrical apprenticeship programs in Luzerne County.
“More than 100 individuals apply for the apprenticeship program each year, which is open to residents of Luzerne County, as well as parts of Wyoming, Sullivan, and Bradford counties,” Nadolny said. “Upon completion of the apprenticeship program, participants can become a Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) wireman earning $37 per hour or more plus benefits.”
Nadolny said the training program takes five years to complete/ He said participants get on-the-job training and the attend classes two nights a week.
“Our participants learn skilled trades,” Nadolny said. “If you want to become an electrician, this is the place you want to be.”
Raymond Sipple, a 2007 graduate of the program, praised the program and he said he learned everything he needed to know to have a successful career.
Casey said the demand for licensed electricians has never been higher than it is right now.
“And here we have a facility to give people the opportunity to be trained on the latest technology available,” Casey said. “And you can earn while you learn.”
On Nov. 18 of last year, Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Director of Workforce Development Initiatives Gwen Ross visited the facility to highlight the Wolf Administration’s commitment to creating apprenticeships and workforce training opportunities.
“These programs are vital to Pennsylvania’s economy and ensure that a pipeline of well-trained, Qualified Electrical Workers will enter the industry,” Ross said.
On Sept. 21. Gov. Tom Wolf was at IBEW 163 to announce a $297,000 grant through DCED’s Pre-Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship grant program to provide training for 30 apprentices in northeastern Pennsylvania. The project was also supported with a $600,000 Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant to improve the interior and exterior infrastructure of the training facility to ensure complete success.
“Investing in apprenticeship programs, where participants can earn a wage while learning a valuable new skill, is one way we can ensure there is a strong pipeline of new talent for these key industries,” the governor said during his visit.
Nadolny said that in 2023, apprentices will also have access to IBEW 163’s new Advanced Technology Center where they can gain skills to work in green industries such as solar and electrical vehicles.
Also attending Wednesday’s tour were John Olejnik, IBEW Local 163 business manager and Nanticoke City Council Members John Telencho and Michael Marcella.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's government has written to the country's NATO and European Union partners and the head of the United Nations, asking them to formally condemn increasingly aggressive talk by officials in neighboring Turkey and suggesting that current bilateral tensions could escalate into a second open conflict on European soil.
In the letters, copies of which were seen Wednesday by The Associated Press, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said the behavior of his country's historic regional rival — and NATO ally — should be censured by the three bodies.
“By not doing so in time or by underestimating the seriousness of the matter, we risk witnessing again a situation similar to that currently unfolding in some other part of our continent," he wrote, in an allusion to the war in Ukraine. "This is something none of us would really wish to see.”
The letters dated Monday and Tuesday come at a low point in relations between the two neighbors, who are separated by centuries-long enmity and contemporary disputes, including Aegean Sea boundaries and immigration. Greece and Turkey have come close to war three times in the last half-century.
On Tuesday Turkey’s president reiterated a thinly veiled invasion threat made over the weekend. Athens responded that it’s ready to defend its sovereignty.
In the letters to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, EU foreign policy head Josep Borrell and U.N. chief Antonio Guterres, Athens quoted Erdogan's references to Greek “occupation” of Aegean Sea islands that have been part of Greece for decades, and to the Greek people as “vile.”
“The Turkish leadership has apparently chosen to present future aggression as already prepared and, more importantly, as a justified action,” he said. “Unless seen in its true dimensions and properly dealt with by the international community, this Turkish attitude risks destabilizing our wider region and causing consequences of which the gravity is hard to assess.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that Turkey could “come all of a sudden one night” in response to perceived Greek threats, suggesting a Turkish attack cannot be ruled out.
Ankara says Greece is violating international agreements by keeping a military presence on islands close to Turkey’s Aegean coastline. It has also accused Greek air defenses of locking on to Turkish fighter jets during NATO exercises over the eastern Mediterranean.
Greece says it needs to defend its eastern islands — including tourist hotspots Rhodes and Kos, which are much closer to Turkey than to the Greek mainland — against its larger and militarily stronger neighbor.
Dendias on Tuesday accused Turkey of carrying out 6,100 Greek airspace violations this year, including 157 overflights of Greek territory.
Greece almost daily scrambles fighter aircraft to identify and intercept Turkish military planes and often simulated dogfights break out, which have led to several fatalities in the past decades.
“The Turkish attitude is a destabilizing factor for NATO's unity and cohesion, weakening the southern flank of the alliance at a moment of crisis,” Dendias wrote to Stoltenberg.
Both Greece and Turkey face crucial elections next year. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Greece-warns-allies-of-Turkey-conflict-danger-17424655.php | 2022-09-07 16:50:11 | 1 | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Greece-warns-allies-of-Turkey-conflict-danger-17424655.php |
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s president called on NATO on Sunday to “do their job” in Kosovo or he says Serbia itself will move to protect its minority in the breakaway province.
The fiery televised address to his nation by President Aleksandar Vucic followed the collapse of political talks between Serbian and Kosovo leaders earlier this week mediated by the European Union in Brussels.
Serbia, along with its allies Russia and China, has refused to recognize Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence. A NATO-led intervention in 1999 ended the war between Serbian forces and separatists in Kosovo and stopped Belgrade’s bloody crackdown against Kosovo’s majority Albanians.
The EU has overseen years of unsuccessful talks to normalize their ties, saying that’s one of the main preconditions for Kosovo and Serbia’s eventual membership in the 27-nation bloc.
“We have nowhere to go, we are cornered,” Vucic said. “We will save our people from persecution and pogroms, if NATO does not want to do it.”
He also claimed that Kosovo Albanian “gangs” need to be stopped from crossing into northern Kosovo, where most of the Kosovo Serbs live. He offered no proof for the claim.
There are widespread fears in the West that Russia could encourage its ally Serbia into an armed intervention in northern Kosovo that would further destabilize the Balkans and shift at least some world and NATO attention from Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Nearly 4,000 NATO-led peacekeepers have been stationed in Kosovo following the 1998-99 war and any armed intervention there by Serbia or Russia would mean a major escalation of a simmering conflict in Europe.
Following the collapse of the EU-mediated talks, NATO peacekeeping troops in Kosovo have been deployed at main roads in its north, saying they are ready to protect the freedom of movement for all sides.
Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo soared anew last month when the Kosovo government led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti declared that Serbian identity documents and vehicle license plates would no longer be valid in Kosovo’s territory. Serbia has been implementing the same measures for Kosovo citizens crossing into Serbia for the past 10 years.
Minority Serbs in Kosovo reacted with anger to the proposed changes, putting up roadblocks, sounding air raid sirens and firing guns into the air and in the direction of Kosovo police officers. No one was injured.
Under apparent pressure from the West, Kurti postponed implementation of the measure for a month to Sept. 1, when more trouble is expected if a compromise is not reached by then.
Vucic said Serbia will “work hard” to reach a “compromise solution in the next 10 days” and accused the Kosovo leadership of “only being interested in abolishing any trace of the Serbian state in Kosovo.”
Vucic also claimed, again without proof, that Kosovo’s government wanted “the final removal of the Serbian people from Kosovo” — something that has been repeatedly denied by Kosovo officials.
Kosovo Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla on Sunday visited Kosovo police units stationed near the northern border with Serbia, saying that he hopes there will be no trouble when the new measures begin on Sept.1.
“Our common interest here is that this land is ours and we will not give it up at any price,” he said.

Tampa Police Chief placed on administrative leave after traffic stop
TAMPA, Fla. (WWSB) - Tampa Police Chief Mary O’ Connor is facing controversy after a video of a traffic stop surfaced. O’Connor has been placed on administrative leave after the video appeared to show her and a passenger bieng pulled over in a golf cart without a license plate outside of a residential neighborhood.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor announced Friday that she has placed O’Connor on administrative leave. Assistant Chief Lee Bercaw will serve as acting chief pending the outcome of the investigation.

The bodycam footage show O’Connor and her husband on Nov. 12 in a golf cart. O’Connor can be heard asking the deputy if his body camera is on.
Following that, O’Connor tells the deputy she’s the Tampa police chief and flashes her credentials.
O’Connor has since apologized for what she called “poor judgment.”
Mayor Castor said that O’Connor “will go through the due process and face appropriate discipline” in an earlier statement.

LONDON (AP) — The Church of England formally apologized Friday for its treatment of LGBTQ people, even as it said that same-sex couples still won’t be allowed to marry in its churches.
The apology from the church’s bishops came in a report following five years of debate on the church’s position on sexuality. The report will be delivered to the church’s national assembly, the General Synod, which is meeting in London next month.
“We want to apologize for the ways in which the Church of England has treated LGBTQI+ people – both those who worship in our churches and those who do not,’’ the bishops said in a statement. “For the times we have rejected or excluded you, and those you love, we are deeply sorry. The occasions on which you have received a hostile and homophobic response in our churches are shameful, and for this we repent.’’
Nonetheless, the Church of England’s stance that matrimony is restricted to unions between one man and one woman will remain in place. It has instead proposed offering same-sex couples the chance to have a church service with prayers of dedication, thanksgiving or for God’s blessing after they have a civil wedding or register a civil partnership.
Same-sex marriage has been legal in England and Wales since 2013, but the church did not change its teaching when the law changed.
Church leaders described the decision on church services as a significant change that acknowledges the lived experience of some faithful Christians. But deep divisions remain, and the bishops acknowledged that some clergy will choose not to use the new prayers to bless the unions of same-sex couples.
Among them will be Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church. He described the introduction of the prayers as “a moment of joy and celebration” but said his role in the Anglican communion makes his primary task to work for unity among some 85 million members.
“Because of my pastoral care and responsibility of being a focus of unity for the whole communion … I will not personally use them in order not to compromise that pastoral care,” he told reporters.
Jayne Ozanne, a prominent campaigner for LGBTQ people in the church, expressed disappointment with the stand of the bishops, arguing that God did not discriminate — and “neither should we.”
“We’ve had apology after apology after apology, and this one frankly, sounds hollow and cruel,” Ozanne wrote on Twitter. “Because if you apologise and then carry on with the abuse, it is akin to domestic abuse. The fact that the bishops don’t see that is what angers me.” | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-church-of-england-apologizes-for-treatment-of-lgbtq-people/ | 2023-01-20 13:38:49 | 0 | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-church-of-england-apologizes-for-treatment-of-lgbtq-people/ |

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Two men have been indicted by a federal grand jury in New Hampshire on multiple fraud charges alleging that they falsely applied for $5 million in federal CARES Act loans for companies and misused some of the proceeds, including one man's purchase of a Rolls Royce.
One man was based in Northwood, New Hampshire, and the other initially was in the state and later moved to Irvine, California, according to court documents.
Prosecutors allege that the two applied for over two dozen loans for at least seven companies during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, submitting fabricated tax documents that inflated their size and payroll.
The California man was arrested in Hawaii on Thursday, according to court documents. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
The New Hampshire man was arrested, released, and faces a July 8 hearing.

The 4th Annual Aftermarket Benchmark Study from Vendavo & Copperberg Identifies Manufacturers' Aftermarket Regression and 2023 Growth Prospects
DENVER, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vendavo, the global market leader in B2B price management and commercial excellence solutions, today revealed more manufacturers did not realize the full benefits that a robust aftermarket services business can deliver to the bottom line in 2022. The global 4th Annual Aftermarket Benchmark Study, conducted by Copperberg, found 65% of respondents reported aftermarket revenue represented less than 29% of their total company revenue – the most at the lowest contributing threshold in the four years of the study.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being highest, the majority of respondents ranked the degree of change taking place at their organization a 7. That change manufacturers are experiencing was not for the positive in aftermarket services however as over the span of the four years of study, manufacturers who realized aftermarket profits as more than half of their total organization profits decreased to its lowest point in 2022 at just 17 percent.
"While the unfortunate regression in the aftermarket business can be at least partly attributed to the global volatility we've seen over the last 4 years, it can also be considered a missed opportunity because we know a strategic aftermarket services business drives revenue and profitability," says Mitch Lee, Profit Evangelist, Vendavo. "And now, more than ever, manufacturers are looking for a profit boost."
The aftermarket business includes the sale and delivery of spare parts, maintenance, and other value-added services. According to McKinsey & Company, one analysis across 30 industries shows the average earnings-before-interest-and-taxes (EBIT) margin for aftermarket services was 25 percent, compared to just 10 percent for new equipment. In today's volatile economic landscape, aftermarket services deliver higher margins. Price improvement delivers greater profitability - a 1% price improvement results in an 8.7% increase in operating profit.
Other findings from the 4th Annual Aftermarket Benchmark Study include:
- The number of manufacturers operating their aftermarket business under a Break/Fix model increased to its highest point in 4 years (33%)
- Inflation has had some or a significant impact on manufacturers' service operations margins (86%)
- Cost-plus pricing models surged as a primary pricing strategy in 2022 (62%), up from around half who used the base-level price optimization levers in the previous three years (50%)
- Robust aftermarket services require advanced digital transformations and more manufacturers have made progress in developing a digital strategy either partially (37%) or they now have one (31%)
- Bigger technology budgets are in plan for the majority of responding manufacturers. The top planned spend is remote diagnostics (61%) followed by e-commerce platforms (42%) and service automation (41%).
"The perception and significance of the aftermarket business relative to overall business growth has greatly diminished over the last four years," says Lisa Hellqvist, Managing Director, Copperberg. "In times of financial downturn, we tend to focus on our existing customer base, and hopefully with the investments made in digital strategy and technology, we should see an improvement of those forementioned numbers as the industry has geared up for a more insightful and data driven aftermarket and service function. But only time can tell if those investments will be fully leveraged."

CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Moldovan police said on Sunday they have foiled a plot by groups of Russia-backed actors who were specially trained to cause mass unrest during a protest the same day in the capital against the country’s new pro-Western government.
The head of Moldova’s police, Viorel Cernauteanu, said in a news conference that an undercover agent had infiltrated groups of “diversionists,” some Russian citizens, who had been promised $10,000 to organize “mass disorder” to destabilize Moldova during a protest in the capital, Chisinau. Seven people were detained, he said.
Separately, police said they arrested 54 protesters on Sunday, including 21 minors, who exhibited “questionable behavior” or were found to be carrying prohibited items, including at least one knife.
The protest Sunday is one of several held in recent weeks organized by a group calling itself Movement for the People, which is backed by Moldova’s Russia-friendly Shor Party, which holds six seats in the country’s 101-seat legislature.
The demonstrators are demanding that the government fully cover the costs of winter energy bills and to “not involve the country in war.” They have repeatedly called on President Maia Sandu to step down.
Police said that four bomb threats on Sunday, including one at the capital’s international airport, had been registered, which they called “an ongoing part of the destabilization measures” against Moldova, a former Soviet republic with a population of about 2.6 million.
Moldova’s border police also said Sunday that 182 foreign nationals in the last week have been denied entry into Moldova, including a “possible representative” of Russia’s Wagner Group, the private military company that is fighting in Ukraine, Moldova’s war-torn neighbor.
The police announcement Sunday comes just days after U.S. intelligence officials said they have determined that actors with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to use protests in Moldova, a European Union candidate since last June, as a basis to foment an insurrection against the country’s government.
On Saturday, Moldova’s national anti-corruption agency said that it has seized more than 220,000 euros ($234,000) during searches in a case of alleged illegal party financing of the Shor Party by an organized criminal group.
The agency said that car searches of “couriers” for the Shor Party discovered the money stuffed into envelopes and bags in various currencies, and that it was earmarked to “pay for the transport and remunerate people who come to the protests organized by the party."
The Shor Party’s leader, Ilan Shor, is a Moldovan oligarch currently in exile in Israel. Shor who is named on a U.S. State Department sanctions list as working for Russian interests. The United Kingdom also added Shor to a sanctions list in December.
Cristian Cantir, a Moldovan associate professor of international relations at Oakland University, says that while it's difficult to determine how the alleged plans to topple Moldova's government would play out, “Russia has always sought to undermine pro-European governments.”
“I think the concerns are legitimate, it’s difficult to tell what the exact nature of the threat is and how dangerous some of these groups might be," he told The Associated Press, “but it’s absolutely a realistic concern.”
The Shor Party also organized a series of anti-government protests last fall, when Moldova’s government asked the country’s Constitutional Court to declare the Shor Party illegal, in a case that is ongoing. Around the same time, anti-corruption prosecutors also alleged that the protests were partly financed with Russian money.
Last week, authorities in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria, which has close ties to Moscow and hosts Russian troops, claimed it had thwarted an assassination attempt on its president allegedly organized by Ukraine’s national security service, the SBU, but did not provide evidence.
The SBU rejected the allegation, saying it “should be considered exclusively as a provocation orchestrated by the Kremlin.”

Deshaun Watson’s legal team takes on the NFL on Tuesday in front of a retired judge to determine his immediate future with the Cleveland Browns.
Former U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFL Players’ Association, will hold a hearing to determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline.
The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed to settle 20 of 24 civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct, but he’s still facing a significant penalty. A person familiar with the NFL’s position told The Associated Press last week the league is seeking a lengthy suspension for Watson based on the number of sexual assault allegations and conversations with the 11 women who were made available for interviews. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the hearing have not been disclosed publicly.
Watson’s side, led by renowned attorney Jeffrey Kessler, will try to argue there’s no basis for a long suspension. Two separate Texas grand juries declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints stemming from the allegations. Watson has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name.
The NFL has punished several players for violating the league’s personal conduct policy without criminal charges. In 2010, Ben Roethlisberger received a six-game suspension after being accused of sexual assault by two women. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell later reduced the suspension to four games. Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott got six games in 2017 for domestic violence incidents.
On Monday, a woman who previously sued Watson filed a lawsuit against the Houston Texans, alleging his former team provided him with resources to enable his actions and “turned a blind eye” to his behavior.
This will be the first hearing for Robinson, who was the first woman Chief Judge for the District of Delaware. Previously, Goodell had the authority to impose discipline for violations of the personal conduct policy. Still, Goodell holds considerable power. If either the union or league appeals Robinson’s decision, Goodell or his designee “will issue a written decision that will constitute full, final and complete disposition of the dispute,” per terms of Article 46 in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
That means Goodell could ultimately overrule Robinson's decision and give Watson one year or even an indefinite suspension due to the potential for more cases.
In April, Major League Baseball suspended pitcher Trevor Bauer two full seasons following the league’s investigation of domestic violence and sexual assault allegations made against him. That suspension didn’t include the 99 regular-season games the Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander missed after being placed on administrative leave on July 2, 2021.
Asked whether MLB’s handling of Bauer’s case has been discussed, a league official told the AP it’s difficult to compare the two but stressed the accusations against Watson are serious enough to warrant an “unprecedented punishment.” The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Robinson hasn't heard the case.
It's unknown how long it will take Robinson to make a decision, but the Browns should know Watson's availability before training camp. NFL discipline typically begins the week leading into the first regular-season game, so Watson would be eligible for camp unless a potential punishment stipulates otherwise.
The Browns traded a slew of draft picks to acquire Watson and gave him a five-year, $230 million guaranteed contract in March.

Sleeping 12-year-old hit by stray bullet when 80-100 shots fired at nearby club
By Jessica Willey, Roxie Bustamante and Brhe Berry

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A 12-year-old boy is recovering from serious wounds after he was hit by a stray bullet from a shootout that happened at a club across the street in northwest Harris County, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
The victim’s mother told ABC13 that her son, Corderro Stevenson, underwent surgery Thursday evening and he is recovering well.
Shovanna Clark said a barrage of bullets came flying into their apartment when they were sleeping early Thursday morning.
Officials said between 80 to 100 shots were fired outside a club in the 7300 block of Alabonson around 2:30 a.m. Directly across the street are the Inwood Grove apartments.
Corderro, a 6th grader, was asleep on the couch in the living room of the family’s first floor apartment. His 8-year-old brother was next to him. Their mother was in the bedroom when everyone was shaken awake.
“There was nowhere for us to run. It was coming straight through everywhere,” Clark said in an exclusive interview. “He said, ‘Mom, I can’t move.’ So I had to move the covers and I realized my son was shot.”
Clark said nothing vital was hit and doctors did not remove the bullet in order to prevent further possible damage.
“We got to pray because our children are in danger,” Clark said. “When they are supposed to be asleep, getting ready for school, they are supposed to be safe. It’s not supposed to happen.”
“Last week, the shooting death of a teen over the shoes he wore. Today, the shooting of a teen as he slept in his apartment. This should not happen and we’re pissed about it,” Sheriff Gonzalez said on Twitter. “We’re going to do everything we can to get those responsible for it.” Investigators recovered pistols and an assault rifle. A neighbor’s surveillance camera captured the frightening sound of multiple rounds of gunfire as well as possible suspects.
As many as five people may have been involved.
“There are suspect(s) on the run, armed with assault rifles, that shot a teen. They pose a serious threat to public safety. Help us identify them and bring them to justice,” Gonzalez said.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office at 713-221-6000 or 713-221-TIPS (8477).
Editor’s Note: An earlier version reported the brother’s age as 7.

PHOENIX — Jordan Luplow homered twice to back Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Minnesota Twins 7-2 Friday night.
Byron Buxton hit his 19th home run of the season on the second pitch of the game, a 446-foot blast to the back of the left-field stands for Minnesota. The Twins failed to score later in the inning when Luis Arraez’s deep drive to left-center with two out bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double and runner Gary Sanchez had to return to third. Jose Miranda was retired on a fly to center, ending the inning.
Jake Hager had three hits in his first career multi-hit game for Arizona. Luplow’s sixth career multi-homer game drove in the first three Arizona runs and gave him nine homers for the season.
The Diamondbacks scored three more in the fourth and another in the fifth against Twins starter Devin Smeltzer (3-1). Arizona was helped by some erratic Minnesota defense, with Smeltzer fielding a bunt by Hager and throwing it away, allowing two runs to score. Later in the inning, a popup on the first-base side dropped between Smeltzer, catcher Gary Sanchez and first baseman Jose Miranda. Given new life, Carson Kelly singled to drive in Hager.
Smeltzer lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing nine hits and seven runs, six earned.
DEBUT
Infielder Buddy Kennedy made his major league debut and picked up his first career hit, a single against Smeltzer in the fifth inning. He was 1 for 3 with a walk and scored a run.
The 23-year-old Kennedy was the Diamondbacks’ DH on Friday. He was batting .296 with four homers at Triple-A Reno. He replaced OF Jake McCarthy, who was optioned to Reno earlier in the week.
Kennedy is from Millville, New Jersey, the same town as the Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout. Kennedy’s grandfather, former Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Don Money, was in attendance at Chase Field on Friday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Twins: 2B Jorge Polanco (lower back tightness) was placed on the injured list for the first time in his nine-year major league career. The move, retroactive to Monday, came after Polanco hadn’t noticed any improvement since feeling something during his first at-bat Sunday against Tampa Bay.
The Twins recalled Alex Kiriloff from St. Paul to replace Polanco. The outfielder-first baseman was batting .385 with 10 homers in 28 games at Triple-A after beginning the season with the Twins. He was sent down after a .172 start in 10 games. Baldelli expects that Luis Arraez will get most of the time at second base, with Kiriloff among those filling in at first base.
Diamondbacks: 2B Ketel Marte was out of the lineup Friday, and the team was awaiting results of an MRI exam on his left hamstring. “We’re pulling him back for the right reasons,” Lovullo said. “We need him for the entire season.”
Marte was limited to 90 games last season with a hamstring injury.
