MANCHESTER, England (AP) — After the most prolific season of his career, Marcus Rashford committed himself to five more years at Manchester United on Tuesday. The England forward ended speculation about his future by signing a new long-term deal that will keep him at Old Trafford through to 2028. Rashford scored 30 goals in all competitions last season, with his form helping fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit in November as he established himself as a key part of a United team which qualified for the Champions League and won the English League Cup. “I joined Manchester United as a 7-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honor of wearing the shirt,” Rashford said in a statement released by United. “I’ve already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.” Rashford has made 359 appearances for United since rising through the club’s youth academy. He has scored 123 goals. His return to form last season under United manager Erik ten Hag came after a year battling with his fitness, which saw him lose his England place before being recalled for the World Cup last November. “As a United fan all my life, I know the responsibility that comes with representing this badge and feel the highs and lows as much as anyone,” Rashford said. “I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.” Also Tuesday, United signed experienced defender Jonny Evans on a short-term deal so he can take part in upcoming preseason games in Edinburgh and San Diego. Evans, an academy graduate, had been training with United’s under-21s while considering his options following his departure from relegated Leicester at the end of last season. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.wivb.com/sports/ap-sports/ap-rashford-signs-new-deal-at-man-united-after-most-prolific-season-of-career/	2023-07-19 07:57:28	1	https://www.wivb.com/sports/ap-sports/ap-rashford-signs-new-deal-at-man-united-after-most-prolific-season-of-career/
ATLANTA, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The AH Board of Commissioners today authorized Atlanta Housing to negotiate a master developer agreement with a joint venture, Bowen District Developers, for the redevelopment of the 74-acre Bowen Homes site. The selected development team, which includes McCormack Baron Salazar, The Benoit Group, Coleman and Associates, and JG Consulting will also serve as the "Housing Implementation Entity" in Atlanta Housing's application for a $40 million Choice Neighborhood grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "This is a transformational project for Northwest Atlanta that will bring affordable homes and a vibrant neighborhood back to the community," said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. "I'm excited that Atlanta Housing has identified a development partner and can now pursue the catalytic Choice Neighborhood grant. The City of Atlanta looks forward to partnering in the development of this inclusive neighborhood." In December 2020, HUD awarded a Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant to AH to create a Neighborhood Transformation Plan (NTP) for the revitalization of the former Bowen Homes and the Brookview Heights neighborhood, the adjacent Carey Park, and segments of James B. Jackson Parkway and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway--collectively referred to as the Bowen Choice Neighborhood. The BCN is located in NPU-G, Council District 9. "With an experienced development team and a comprehensive plan for investment in affordable housing, neighborhoods and people, Atlanta is poised yet again to be selected for a Choice Neighborhood grant," said Larry Stewart, chairman of the Atlanta Housing Board of Commissioners. "This project will be transformative for Northwest Atlanta and will leverage millions more in investments, jobs and opportunities for Atlanta residents." The development team's plans are consistent with goals established in 18 months of consultation with residents of the surrounding community, former residents of Bowen Homes and other stakeholders in creating the NTP. The community vision includes increasing connectivity; preserving and enhancing the natural environment; prioritizing affordability and viability; and including and honoring the "memory of place." Specifically, the Neighborhood Transformation Plan contemplates more than 2,000 rental and ownership units; several acres of improved greenspace; a green storm water management system; preservation of the natural environment and an improved street network supporting a mixed-income development with retail and community amenities. Over the next few months, the Bowen District Developers team will work with the Atlanta Housing team and the community to finalize site programming, including the total number of planned market and affordable housing units. The development team won the top recommendation from a diverse eight-member evaluation committee that carefully evaluated two short-listed proposals following an April 2022 request for proposals. Bowen District Partners was recommended as the best overall value for Atlanta Housing. Bowen Homes was constructed in 1962 and razed in 2009. The 74-acre site is in a sparsely populated area of Northwest Atlanta bounded by Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and James Jackson Parkway. The development concept will transform the former Bowen Homes site into a true interconnected neighborhood. Retail and community amenities surround a new central square, which serves as the heart of the neighborhood. A mix of uses provides opportunities for local residents to open businesses in affordable commercial space, entrepreneurship support, and job training opportunities at a Community Resources Center and Innovation Hub. The concept plan builds on ideas generated in the NTP to address environmental and natural assets of the site. A pedestrian green street and linear storm water park connects through the site east to west, creating green infrastructure to reduce flooding. The A.D. Williams Creek Trail will connect to the residential development and surrounding community assets. Atlanta Housing and the City of Atlanta will further work with Atlanta Public Schools on the revitalization of the A.D. Williams school site as part of the redevelopment. Bowen Homes holds a momentous place in the history of Northwest Atlanta, public housing, African American art and culture, and the personal histories and lived experiences of the thousands of former residents who built their lives there. Led by President and CEO Eugene Jones, Jr., the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta, Georgia (AH), is the largest housing authority in Georgia and one of the largest in the nation. AH provides and facilitates affordable housing resources for nearly 27,000 low-income households comprised of approximately 45,000 people, including AH-owned residential communities, tenant-based vouchers, supportive housing, and homeownership opportunities. Programs are funded and regulated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Visit AH at atlantahousing.org or follow us on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn at @housingatlanta.

Gleaves will celebrate 50 years of bus ministry today at Bible Baptist Church, 7501 W. Lee. Lee Gleaves will celebrate 50 years of bus ministry at 11 a.m. today at Bible Baptist Church, 7501 W. Lee. Gleaves began picking up kids at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Altus under pastor Hoyt Lemon. After moving to Lawton in 1975 to run the respiratory therapy department at Comanche County Memorial Hospital, Gleaves joined Lawton Baptist Tabernacle. Before too long, he was bringing children to church in his pickup camper, so Pastor Bob Warner decided to give him a bus route. In 1994, Gleaves and his family joined Bible Baptist Church under Pastor Gene Burnham, and he once again ran a bus route. The route was disrupted in 2020 by COVID-19. It is estimated that Gleaves has brought thousands of children to church on his bus routes, with many giving their lives to Christ. At age 13, he trusted the Lord as his Savior at First Baptist Church in Berlin, Oklahoma. His best friend took him to church to hear the gospel. This experience in his early years instilled in him the need to take young people to church so they could hear the gospel.

Fresh off of an amazing Easter Sunday Verzuz celebration, Darlene McCoy-Jackson spoke to Mary Mary‘s Erica Campbell about the amazing event. Seizing the moment where Gospel music would be shown on a major, worldwide platform was not lost on Erica’s mind. Darlene spoke with Erica about the similarities between the two groups, including being siblings, breaking into the mainstream, awards, and of course, amazing vocal ability. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM & TWITTER. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE. Campbell describes the event and working with the Winans, saying “that night felt like the faithfulness of God. It felt like listening to music in the car, wishing and dreaming. And it actually came to life on Sunday on Easter night.” Hear more from Erica and Darlene below: STAY INFORMED!

Read some of the amazing conversation below: Erica: What I love is not only did I get blessed, the people listening to people in the room, the number I heard that we were trending number one in the world above Coachella, which was amazing. And I think that’s great for the genre, you know, so this is what this was our agenda. We didn’t want it to just be good for us. We wanted them to see what the genre of Gospel (music) looks like in this space, to know that it can, you know, that we can, we can stomp in that area, too, you know, what I’m saying? Darlene: It does, because, you know, I was actually in the chat, and the kinds of people that were chatting in the chat, I was so excited, you know, because it shows you there is no music, like gospel music anywhere in the world. Like, we’re actually the only platform and genre that can house every genre. Erica: Yeah. And our job is to draw people to God. It’s not to compete with mainstream or hip-hop, it is simply to draw people to Jesus. It’s supposed to lift the people (and) encourage the people (to) carry the people, this music is literally a vehicle that you can get inside and be transported to places of faith to places of peace, to places of deliverance, you know, places of joy after a hard time in life. And to see so many people posting and crying and posting and remembering was like, Yes, God, this is what we want it to be. Darlene: That’s what it is. And then the beauty of it is, you know, I think about Paul, when he was writing, you know, the Scriptures. He wasn’t writing for generations to come. He was writing his truth at that time. And to see, you know, Mary Mary and BeBe and CeCe Winans, you guys weren’t writing to be on Verzuz, you guys were writing songs and doing your songs to give God praise. And then the result is you have people like the nice. You have the toy. You’re lucky. Kelly Rowland? Yeah, everybody in the Verzuz. Erica: Amazing. them singing along, and even watching my children. So the whole left side was basically my family. They gave us tickets. And I was like, Oh, I can pass out some to my friends. But 50 of them tickets were all immediate family like my sisters and Atkins cousins and Campbells. But they’re young, and they were on the front row singing our music and theirs, too. And I just thought that was so so cool. My little nephew was in the front, he thought he was giving us the playlist. It was so cute. You know, I know. Looking like just beaming with so much pride and joy. It was just watching Stevie Wonder get up and dance. And God and me like it was just, it was oh.

HONOLULU — Two people died in what officials believe was a mass fentanyl overdose over the weekend involving five people in a hotel room in the Hawaii tourist mecca of Waikiki. Honolulu police said the 53-year-old man later died at the hospital. Police said fentanyl was found at the scene. Outrigger spokesperson Monica Salter told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser the resort is working with authorities and was unable to share guest information for privacy reasons. Fentanyl is an opioid painkiller many times more powerful than heroin, and typically is prescribed to treat severe pain. It frequently appears as an illegal street drug mixed with other substances, such as heroin. Experts say the growing prevalence of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply is a top driver of the increasing number of overdose deaths in the U.S. It’s a growing concern across Hawaii. In May, police on the Big Island became the first department in the state to release fentanyl statistics.

Dianne Feinstein is well underway, but as California’s senior senator has missed nearly 60 votes over the past two months, some liberal Democrats are calling for her to resign. Feinstein, who is recovering from shingles, said she plans to serve out her term and has received the support of party leadership. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said this past week that he hoped she would return soon. Feinstein released a statement saying she plans to return to Washington when her doctors say it is safe for her to travel. With a narrowly divided Senate, questions have arisen about the options for Democrats if Feinstein does not return to the U.S. Capitol but does not resign. Why do some Democrats want to oust Feinstein when she has already announced she won’t seek reelection in 2024? The 89-year-old, the oldest member of the Senate, has been facing questions in recent years about her cognitive abilities and fitness for the post. Her supporters argue that these questions are ageist and sexist, pointing to male senators who served into their twilight without such criticism. But the dynamic changed once Feinstein announced March 2 that she was hospitalized with shingles, a viral infection related to chicken pox that is painful but not life-threatening. At the time, she said she hoped to return to the Senate by the end of March. Her continued absence is critical for two reasons: Democrats have narrow control of the Senate, 51-49, and Feinstein sits on the powerful Judiciary Committee. With her absence, the panel is divided 10-10 between Democrats and Republicans, stymieing the Biden administration’s judicial appointments. The committee last voted on a nominee in mid-February, and its chairman told CNN that he can’t put Biden appointees forward because of the tied membership. This conundrum prompted Feinstein to ask Schumer to temporarily replace her on the committee with another Democrat until she returns to the Capitol — a move that was blocked by Senate Republicans. Can the Senate remove an incapacitated senator from office? There’s nothing in law specifically for this situation. In the past, when senators have been absent for extended periods due to illness, the Senate has proceeded as normal with a vacant seat. Prior examples include the late Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota, who suffered a stroke in 1969 and was absent from the Senate for three years without resigning, and President Joe Biden, who during his Senate tenure was absent for seven months in the 1980s after he underwent two surgeries for brain aneurysms. The Senate can, in theory, take action to remove a sitting senator for certain reasons. But the upper chamber has never done so because a senator was sick or incapacitated. “Unless a senator chooses to resign, the only way to remove them from office is by a two-thirds expulsion vote,” said Molly Reynolds, senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, a bipartisan Washington think tank, in response to emailed questions. Is removing a senator for other reasons a realistic option? It has happened in rare occasions, and not for more than a century and a half. In its 234-year history, the Senate has expelled 15 members: one for treason and 14 because of their support for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Since the last expulsion, in 1862, there have been 13 failed attempts to remove senators on myriad grounds, from corruption to election fraud to being a Mormon (Utah’s Reed Smoot in 1907). These senators either survived the expulsion vote or resigned. Under the U.S. Constitution, senators cannot be recalled from office by voters in their state, according to the California secretary of State. How is a Senate vacancy filled? Each state has its own rules on how to replace a senator before the regular election cycle. Under California law, a senate vacancy may be filled via an appointment by the governor that does not require confirmation by the California Legislature or the U.S. Senate. The governor also may call for a special election to fill the vacancy. If there is a vacancy, California voters at the next general election would select a senator to serve the remainder of the six-year term of the person who vacated the office. In January 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to fill the Senate vacancy created when Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president. In November 2022, the ballot had two senate elections: one about who should serve the remainder of Harris’ term in the Senate, which would have ended in January 2023, and one about who should serve the subsequent six-year term. Padilla easily won both. Given the thin partisan divide in the Senate, it’s likely that Newsom would move quickly to appoint a fellow Democrat to fill any vacancy to ensure his party remains in control of the upper chamber. If a senator resigns, dies or is expelled from office, does the replacement automatically fill the Senator’s committee assignments? No. There is no guarantee the replacement will fill their predecessor’s committee seats. “Once there is a new senator sworn into the vacant seat, he or she only gets committee assignments after the Senate adopts a simple resolution,” Reynolds said. Opponents can in theory hold up that process with a filibuster — continuous, often unnecessary debate on the floor to cause a prolonged delay to a vote. It would take 60 votes to end a filibuster. For Feinstein, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, that question is particularly important. Even if she left office, Republicans could prevent her successor — or any Democratic replacement — from filling her seat on the Judiciary Committee, under current Senate rules. That said, taking such a step would be unprecedented and highly provocative. Democrats could pass a rule change to ensure that Republicans cannot block new senators from committees by requiring a simple majority instead of 60 votes, said Jim Manley, who spent 21 years in the Senate working for Democrats including the late Harry Reid, the former Senate Majority Leader from Nevada. But Manley noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham , the leading GOP senator on the Judiciary Committee, said in a recent CNN interview that Republicans would follow precedent if Feinstein resigns. What conundrum does Newsom face if Feinstein retires early? In 2021, Newsom pledged to appoint a Black woman to replace Feinstein if she retired early. This promise came after his decision to appoint Padilla to replace Harris when she was sworn in as vice president. Harris’ departure meant there was not a single Black woman in the Senate. This pledge has created a dilemma for the two-term governor. There are three top candidates vying for Feinstein’s seat: Democratic Reps. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank, Katie Porter of Irvine and Barbara Lee of Oakland. Newsom has declined to weigh in on the race; a senior aide told The Times, “There are three extremely qualified candidates in the race that have displayed the courage it takes to fight for California values in Washington, D.C.” Lee, who is Black, is beloved by liberal Democrats as the sole member of Congress to vote against giving President George W. Bush authorization to use military force after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. When Newsom pledged to name a Black woman to Feinstein’s seat if she resigned before her term was over, Lee was one of the likely choices. However, with an active Senate race underway, such an appointment would be viewed as the governor putting a thumb on the scale in the 2024 election and could irk the others in the race who are popular with Democratic voters across the nation.	https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/feinstein-has-vowed-to-return-to-washington-but-what-happens-if-she-doesnt/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all	2023-05-01 01:56:36	0	https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/feinstein-has-vowed-to-return-to-washington-but-what-happens-if-she-doesnt/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all
College baseball player has leg amputated following horrific boating accident, family says GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN/Gray News) – A prospective college baseball player had his lower leg amputated following a horrific boating accident that left him severely injured. Parker Byrd has undergone numerous surgeries since the accident on Bath Creek on July 23. Byrd was one of two people who fell off their tubes. Byrd’s friend safely got back on the boat, but as Byrd was approaching the boat, the ski rope got caught in the propeller and pulled Byrd toward it. Byrd was hit by the propeller and seriously injured. Byrd has committed to playing baseball at East Carolina University as a freshman. His mother Mitzi Byrd posted on social media confirming that her son had surgery to amputate his right leg below his knee. According to the post, doctors may have to perform another amputation above the knee. “This is hard. I’m not going to lie, this is REALLY hard,” Mitzi Byrd wrote in another Facebook post. “Parker is trying to process it and we are trying to process it. I begged God to provide a miracle but we have to trust his plan.” Parker Byrd underwent another surgery Friday morning to clean up and close some areas following the amputation. His mother said that marks surgery number nine. Copyright 2022 WITN via Gray Media Group, Inc.

Aaron Judge is going to get paid. It’s just a matter of by whom and for how much. The New York Yankees right fielder rejected a seven-year, $213.5 million contract before Opening Day and will become a free agent after the season. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports “One Yankees person was heard to remark recently that just five other teams can reasonably afford Judge — the Mets, Dodgers, Giants, Cubs and Red Sox. Though they shouldn’t make assumptions — who saw the Rangers, Twins and Tigers spending huge? — the Yankees are probably right in viewing the Giants as the most logical threat.” Want to bet on MLB? See the best NJ Sports Betting sites Heyman lists the New York Mets as the Yankees’ top challenger for Judge, and why not, with Steve Cohen’s deep pockets and Billy Eppler’s roster built for postseason contention. But Heyman cautions the Mets might be “reluctant to start an intracity war.” No. 2 is the Los Angeles Dodgers with the Red Sox No. 3. However Boston has to deal with shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who is expected to opt out of his deal after the season. Heyman has the Chicago Cubs at No. 4 with the Giants at No. 5. San Francisco might actually make the most sense since Judge grew up a couple of hours from the Bay Area. Judge is in the midst of a walk season for the ages. He leads MLB with 22 home runs and an OPS of 1.055.

JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid stood side-by-side Thursday and declared they would not allow Iran to become a nuclear power. They parted ways, though, on how to get there. Biden, in a joint news conference after a one-on-one meeting with the Israeli leader, said he still wants to give diplomacy a chance. Moments earlier, Lapid insisted that words alone won't thwart Tehran's nuclear ambitions. While Biden suggested his patience with Iran was running low, he held out hope that Iran can be persuaded to rejoin a dormant deal intended to prevent it from building a nuclear weapon. “I continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome,” Biden said on the second day of a four-day visit to Israel and Saudi Arabia. He also stressed on his first trip to the Middle East as president the importance of furthering ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Hours before Biden was set to become the first U.S. leader to fly directly from Israel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's General Authority of Civil Aviation announced early Friday “the decision to open the Kingdom’s airspace for all air carriers that meet the requirements of the Authority for overflying.” It signaled the end of its longstanding ban on Israeli airliners overflying its territory — an incremental step toward the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel that builds on the strong but informal ties the erstwhile foes have developed in recent years over their shared concerns about Iran’s growing influence in the region. “President Biden welcomes and commends the historic decision by the leadership of Saudi Arabia to open Saudi airspace to all civilian carriers without discrimination, a decision that includes flights to and from Israel,” U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement early Friday. Biden’s emphasis on a diplomatic solution on Iran's nuclear program contrasted with Lapid, who said Iran must face a real threat of force before it will agree to give up on its nuclear ambitions. “Words will not stop them, Mr. President. Diplomacy will not stop them,” Lapid said. “The only thing that will stop Iran is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program the free world will use force.” Lapid suggested he and Biden were in agreement, despite his tougher rhetoric toward Iran. “I don’t think there’s a light between us,” he said. “We cannot allow Iran to become nuclear.” Biden, too, said, “We will not, let me say it again, we will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi lashed out at the U.S. and "its regional allies” for stoking instability in the region, state-run IRNA news agency reported. “Any mistake by the Americans and their allies in the region and the world will be met with a harsh and regrettable response,” Raisi said. Biden warned that his patience is wearing thin for Iran to rejoin the nuclear deal, a day after saying he'd be willing to use force against Tehran as a last resort. The president said the U.S. had laid out for the Iranian leadership a path to return to the nuclear deal and was still waiting for a response. “When that will come, I’m not certain,” Biden said. "But we’re not going to wait forever.” Resurrecting the Iran nuclear deal brokered by Barack Obama's administration and abandoned by Donald Trump in 2018 was a key priority for Biden as he entered office. But administration officials have become increasingly pessimistic about the chances of getting Tehran back into compliance. Israeli officials have sought to use Biden’s first visit to the Middle East as president to underscore that Iran’s nuclear program has progressed too far and encourage the Biden administration to scuttle efforts to revive the deal. Israel opposed the original nuclear deal because its limitations on Iran’s nuclear enrichment would expire and the agreement didn’t address Iran’s ballistic missile program or military activities in the region. Instead of the U.S. reentering the deal, Israel would prefer strict sanctions in hopes of leading to a more sweeping accord. The one-on-one talks between Biden and Lapid marked the centerpiece of a 48-hour visit by Biden aimed at strengthening already tight relations between the U.S and Israel. The leaders issued a joint declaration emphasizing military cooperation and a commitment to keeping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. In the joint statement, the United States said it is ready to use “all elements of its national power” to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. Iran announced last week that it has enriched uranium to 60% purity, a technical step away from weapons-grade quality. The joint declaration could hold important symbolic importance for Biden’s upcoming meeting with Arab leaders in Saudi Arabia as he seeks to strengthen a regionwide alliance against Iran. The U.S. president, who is set to arrive in Saudi Arabia on Friday, said he also stressed to Lapid the importance of Israel becoming “totally integrated” in the region. Israel during the Trump administration signed on to the Abraham Accords, declarations of diplomatic and economic normalization signed by Israel, Bahrain, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates that were signature foreign policy achievement for the Republican president. For Israel to come to such an agreement with the Saudis, an economic and Islamic epicenter in the Mideast, would be even more significant. Lapid asked Biden to deliver a message on behalf of Israel to the Arab leaders he'll meet with in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: “Our hand is outstretched for peace.” “Your visit to Saudi Arabia is important for Israel and for the region,” Lapid added. “For our security and for the future prosperity of the Middle East.” The president will visit Saudi Arabia after calling the kingdom a “pariah” nation as a presidential candidate and releasing a U.S. intelligence finding last year that showed the kingdom's de facto leader, Mohammed bin Salman, likely approved the 2018 killing of of Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S.-based writer. Biden declined to commit to mentioning Khashoggi's murder when he meets with the crown prince. “I always bring up human rights,” Biden said at the news conference. “But my position on Khashoggi has been so clear. If anyone doesn’t understand it, in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else, then they haven’t been around for a while.” He did not reiterate his position. Thursday's appearances with Lapid could provide a boost to Israeli prime minister, who is serving in an interim capacity until elections in November, the fifth in less than four years. His main opponent is former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Lapid's joint appearance with Biden could help burnish his credentials as a statesman and leader. Biden met briefly behind closed doors with Netanyahu, with whom who he's had a rocky relationship. Biden didn’t mention Israel's upcoming election during the public portion of Thursday's meeting with Lapid, but told reporters “we had a good beginning of a long, God willing, relationship.” Biden and Lapid also participated in a virtual summit with India and the United Arab Emirates, a collection of countries called the I2U2. The United Arab Emirates announced it will help finance a $2 billion project supporting agriculture in India. The president was also honored with Israel's top civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Honor, from President Isaac Herzog. Biden finished his day with a stop at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium to greet U.S. athletes competing in the Maccabiah Games. Also known as the “Jewish Olympics,” it’s the country’s largest sporting event and held every four years for Israeli and Jewish athletes from all over world. ___ Megerian reported from Washington.

Will Nico Iamaleava jersey be No. 8 or 12? Here's what Tennessee football quarterback said Tennessee football fans, don’t change the number on your newly purchased Nico Iamaleava jersey yet. The 5-star freshman quarterback is No. 12 in spring practice, but that might be temporary. Iamaleava wore No. 8 in high school. And when he enrolled early at UT and participated in Orange Bowl practices in December, he wore No. 8. But in spring practice, he’s donned No. 12. So will Iamaleava wear No. 8 or No. 12 during the 2023 season? “We’ll see,” he said Thursday. YOUTH MOVEMENT ON UT DEFENSEWhy these Tennessee freshmen should excite fans as much as Nico Iamaleava TENNESSEE VS NC STATEVols to play Wolfpack in Charlotte in 2024 It’s common for UT early enrollees, both freshmen and transfers, to wear one number in spring practice and another in the fall. There’s a notion that they must earn their preferred number. That’s likely the reason that Iamaleava has an unfamiliar number, and he alluded to it. “Yeah, 8 was just my number in high school,” Iamaleava said. “They gave us the opportunity to choose our numbers for (Orange Bowl) practice. So I pretty much went with 8. “But in spring practice, I got 12. So it’s my job to go do work." Vols already have a No. 8, but that's not a problem No. 8 appears to be available. Cornerback Brandon Turnage wears No. 8, but duplicate numbers are very common. Last season, there were 34 numbers shared by two different players on UT’s roster. There are 33 pairs of duplicate numbers on the spring roster. In most instances, one player with the number is on offense and the other on defense so they wouldn’t be in the game at the same time. That would be a penalty. In spring practice, Iamaleava and defensive back Tamarion McDonald both wear No. 12. UT’s other quarterbacks include No. 7 Joe Milton, No. 13 Gaston Moore and No. 21 Navy Shuler – who dons the same number as his father, former UT star quarterback Heath Shuler. Expect the Vols to add another quarterback via the transfer portal after spring practice. Iamaleava jerseys should be popular at Neyland Stadium, sooner or later. In December, fans celebrated his signing as arguably the top UT recruit in about 25 years. For now, Iamaleava is learning behind Milton, the presumed starter. But there are no other scholarship quarterbacks on the spring roster, so Iamaleava could play early in his freshman season. So his jersey number should be recognizable – that is, once it’s permanent. Here's who else has worn No. 8 for Tennessee If Iamaleava gets his high school number, he'd join a long line of UT quarterbacks to wear No. 8. In the 1970s, Jim Richardson, Randy Wallace and David Rudder were No. 8. Jeff Joslin and Dirk Gentry wore it in the early 1980s. Andy Kelly was No. 14 as a freshman in 1988. But UT fans remember him as No. 8, which he wore his final three seasons and finished as the Vols' career passing leader. He now ranks sixth on the list. Mike Grein and Jeremy Bates wore No. 8 in the mid-1990s, and Joey Mathews had it from 1998-2001. Jonathan Crompton was No. 8 from 2006-09. Tyler Bray got it in 2010 and wore the number while passing for 7,237 career yards, fifth-most in program history.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate U.S. Soccer has introduced a Safe Soccer program that will require comprehensive vetting of individuals involved in the sport as the federation continues to address its investigation into coach misconduct in the National Women's Soccer League. The Safe Soccer program announced Monday aims to overhaul the criteria for participation in the sport from the youth level to the professional leagues. It includes safety training, background checks and annual reviews. The rollout will start with a pilot program involving U.S. Soccer staff but eventually will reach “all participants in the soccer ecosystem,” the federation announced. The process is expected to take several years. “We want to make sure that we’re getting bad actors out of our game. But we also want to make sure that we’re incentivizing, motivating and rewarding people who are doing the right thing. In a perfect world, that would get all the way down to, quite frankly, every single adult in our game," said former U.S. national team defender Danielle Slaton, chair of U.S. Soccer's Yates Implementation Committee. “The challenge is how we do that and I think a lot of that is going to be up to the (participant safety) task force, up to our membership and up to all of us working to pull in the same direction on that front,” Slaton added. Both U.S. Soccer and the NWSL pledged to implement recommendations made in two scathing reports on systemic abuse and misconduct in the nation's top professional league. U.S. Soccer published the results of its investigation, led by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, in October. A separate report commissioned by the NWSL and its players union was released in December. Both sides look to both expand and adopt measures to ensure player safety in the new year. Among the Yates report recommendations was a requirement that teams disclose coach misconduct to the league and USSF to ensure coaches aren’t allowed to move between teams. It also called for timely investigation into allegations of abuse and meaningful vetting of participants. Mana Shim and fellow former NWSL player Sinead Farrelly came forward in 2021 with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion against longtime league coach Paul Riley. He was among five of the league's 10 coaches who were fired or resigned that year amid claims of misconduct. He denied the allegations. Shim is now chair of the USSF's Participant Safety Taskforce, which aims to implement safeguarding measures across soccer in the United States. Shannon Boxx, a U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer, also is on the task force. The implementation committee has proposed amendments to the federation's professional league standards for all affiliated leagues, including Major League Soccer, the NWSL, United Soccer League and others. The proposed changes include prohibiting the use of nondisclosure and non-disparagement agreements that hide information about abuse allegations. The standards would also require teams to designate a player safety officer, provide training and education on abuse and misconduct, and produce annual safeguarding reports to U.S. Soccer. Those changes must be approved by U.S. Soccer's Board of Directors, which meets in March. The Yates report made 12 overall recommendations “aimed at preventing abuse in the future, holding wrongdoers accountable, enhancing transparency, addressing safety in youth soccer and fostering a professional environment where players are treated with respect.” U.S. Soccer has either implemented or is acting on the recommendations. The federation is also working closely with the NWSL to make reforms. “As we’ve said from the beginning, this remains of the highest priority for our federation and we are dedicated to cleaning up our sport and making things better," Slaton said. "And the committee is eager to continue to grow and evolve and support the task force that’s going to be led by Mana Shim going forward, that already has been and will continue to be, because we truly remain dedicated to this work. This is not a one and done thing. This is not a committee thing that we’re putting a stamp on and saying we are finished with this work. We know there is a lot of work still that remains to be done." ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/us-soccer-announces-program-to-ensure-player-17752044.php	2023-01-30 21:07:33	1	https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/us-soccer-announces-program-to-ensure-player-17752044.php
MARION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJRT) - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is continuing to investigate a deer that remains at a Saginaw County retreat center. The DNR recently saw a deer named Zoey inside an enclosure and told Ronda Mau, who runs Deer Haven Spiritual Retreat, to release the deer because the animal was getting too big. Mau said a DNR conservation officer told her the deer would be killed if she didn't release it into the wild. She said the officer gave her a one-day deadline to let Zoey go on Monday. But Mau still had the deer on Wednesday while the DNR continued investigating the matter. Mau has kept Zoey for a full year as a therapy animal for children and adults in the area. She said Zoey's mom was hit by a car and Zoey somehow ended up in her driveway in Saginaw County's Marion Township. Mau has been working with the Michigan DNR on rehabilitating fawns and she has a license to do so. The DNR released the following statement on the situation: "We have received reports of an illegally held deer at a rehabilitation center located in Brant Township, Saginaw County. We are currently gathering relevant information to assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action. White-tailed deer are wild animals that can behave unpredictably. They should never be treated as pets and should be held in captivity only by those with appropriate licenses to do so. We understand the public's concern regarding this issue. This is an ongoing investigation, and we will provide additional information when it becomes available."	https://www.abc12.com/news/local/embattled-deer-remains-at-saginaw-county-retreat-center/article_0ce6fbe0-057c-11ee-8675-57b00931b4b1.html	2023-06-08 13:59:29	0	https://www.abc12.com/news/local/embattled-deer-remains-at-saginaw-county-retreat-center/article_0ce6fbe0-057c-11ee-8675-57b00931b4b1.html
Deal Involves 500+ Acres and 84+ MW of Community Solar Projects in New York ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SolaREIT, a solar real estate investment fund, has executed agreements totaling $12.2 million for solar land with developer Norbut Solar Farms. The deal involves four projects across 500+ acres of land in New York on which are sited more than 84 megawatts (MW) of community solar. SolaREIT, which launched in late 2020, provides an innovative model for financing solar land and offers options to compensate landowners for utilizing their land to host solar farms. "We're excited to work with Norbut Solar Farms to grow their business by financing their land holdings. Dave Norbut and his team have been developing projects throughout New York for more than two decades and are one of the most well-respected developers in the state. Solar projects require large expanses of land and lease payments that tie-up capital and increase costs for developers. Now more than ever, developers need financial flexibility, so they can focus on doing what they do best—develop solar projects," said Laura Pagliarulo, President of SolaREIT. "SolaREIT is providing valuable financial innovation and flexibility to the solar development industry. We are accessing capital through this deal, which will fuel the expansion of our early-stage solar development efforts across New York. Financial innovation has helped expand residential solar over the past decade; now SolaREIT is bringing innovation to community solar development," said Dave Norbut, Norbut Solar Farms. Community solar development is land and capital intensive. SolaREIT can offer alternative options to developers and project owners that free up capital or reduce their lease costs. Last year, SolaREIT announced their "Pre-Paid Solar Land Lease" allowing solar developers to provide landowners with up-front payment for up to 30-years of lease payments. About SolaREIT: SolaREIT, based in Rockville, Maryland, focuses on making investments in acquiring, developing, and managing climate-friendly solar assets that support the transformation to a low-carbon economy. We aim to provide unique products to clients while generating attractive returns for our investors. For more information, please visit www.solareit.com.

ORANGE, Calif., Feb. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Reset Summer Camp has recently launched a new app, aimed at helping teens improve their life skills. In case you are unfamiliar with Reset Summer Camps, it will enter its 6th summer this year. As a 4-week residential Digital Detox & Life Skills program for teens, we are now expanding to Canada and in talks with licensees in Egypt, the U.K., Thailand and Australia. It seems there is no limit to the need for screen addiction support for kids these days. Considering the pandemic, kids today are even more in need of socialization and in-person real-world interactions. Their social skills have been seriously depleted and their dependence and addiction to screens is worse than ever. The Reset staff does a fantastic job with the kids who attend the 4-week digital detox and life skills program. But there has been a struggle to reach more kids, especially during the off-season when they are (or should be) in school. So Reset came up with an idea for an App. The Life Skills App is very basic and specifically intended to NOT have kids on their devices all the time. Other than the daily message and a few video clips, there is nothing to actually do on this App. Rather, its intention is to provide daily suggestions and recommendations for teens (and their families) to help them live better lives. The Life Skills App offers help on everything from getting enough sleep to how to deal with sextortion, from doing your own laundry to how to write a resume. The Life Skills App is free for the first week, then $3.99 per month thereafter, and is available on both iPhone and Android. Every day users can expect a message which, if followed, can help a teen live a better life.

Company to employ 80 Albertans and add over $120 million to Alberta's economy via value-added agribusiness processing of yellow peas CALGARY, AB, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Phyto Organix Foods Inc. is pleased to announce that it has executed a letter of intent to purchase 15 acres of land in the Town of Strathmore, Alberta from the Western Irrigation District as the location of its new, state-of-the-art, net zero emission plant protein processing facility. The $225 million facility will be the largest-ever capital investment in Strathmore and provide a base for Phyto Organix to innovate and grow its plant protein business. When operational in 2024, Phyto Organix will use proprietary wet fractionation technology to annually process 40,000 metric tonnes of yellow peas, grown in close proximity to the facility, into soluble and insoluble protein isolates, processed fibre and starch, and high-quality dietary pea hull fibre. "This is an exciting time to be an Albertan," said Chris Theal, Founder, President and CEO of Phyto Organix. "Our $225 million investment will generate over $120 million of annual GDP, employ 80 Albertans and yield tangible economic diversification in the Town of Strathmore and the Province of Alberta. Our team has designed a net zero facility to produce food products that embody our core values of health, wellness and sustainability. We are energized to lead the plant protein industry in Alberta." As part of the new facility, Phyto Organix received $1 million over two years, cost-shared by the federal and provincial governments through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, to support engineering costs and the purchase of equipment. "Alberta's food processing sector is a key driver of our economy, and consumer demand for Canada's responsibly produced plant-based protein is rising worldwide," said the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. "This investment in Phyto Organix's new, net-zero facility supports local growers, protects the environment and increases our capacity to meet global demand for our high-quality, sustainable food." "Plant-based protein is an emerging sub-sector with significant potential for growth and diversification of the agri-processing industry in Alberta. With demand for high-quality plant-based products increasing dramatically in recent years, Alberta's government is pleased to support companies like Phyto Organix that will work with local producers, create jobs, and help grow Alberta's economy." Nate Horner, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development "Today's announcement is a win for Alberta's agriculture, innovation and cleantech sectors," said Rick Christiaanse, CEO of Invest Alberta. "Invest Alberta is excited to help support Phyto Organix with its high-value investment journey in Alberta, as the province continues to be a destination of choice for exciting new operations that create jobs, support sustainability, and have big economic impact." Phyto Organix has engaged with technology, construction and engineering leaders in designing its state-of-the-art facility. The Company will employ proprietary, integrated processing technology from SiccaDania A/S and has engaged Bird Construction and GHD Engineering to lead the design and construction of the facility and 3D connectivity to the processing equipment. SiccaDania is a Denmark-based, global leader in protein extraction technologies; Bird and GHD are proven leaders in building food and protein processing facilities in Canada. Phyto Organix's 100,000 square foot facility will be the first net zero plant protein processing facility in North America. Key attributes of the plant include: - situating it in the yellow pea heartland of Alberta, with annual crop production of over 5 times the facility's processing capacity grown within 75 kilometres of the facility, minimizing emissions from transporting peas supplied by local farmers; - employing industry leading water recycle/reuse technology, allowing the facility to recycle 75% of its process water; - industry leading heat integration reducing overall energy consumption and emissions; and - powering the facility with low emission energy sources. Phyto Organix's plant proteins and co-products will be marketed under the brand Phyto Optimate, notable for being high in purity, distinctively white and odourless featuring G85 globulin (meat alternative) and A85 albumin (dairy alternative) protein isolates and having strong functional attributes for food applications. "Phyto Optimate harnesses the confluence of our differentiated product quality, our sustainability pedigree and the passion our team has in researching and developing processed ingredient solutions for the rapidly growing health and wellness-conscious food consumer segment," said Theal. "We are well-advanced on significant Phyto Optimate offtake agreements with consumer-packaged goods companies and global distributors and expect to finalize initial commitments in the coming months." Phyto Organix Foods Inc. is a privately-held, independent Calgary-based innovator, processor, developer and distributor of sustainably processed plant-based proteins, starch, fibre and pea hull fibre for the food and beverage industry. Phyto Organix's wet fractionation facility in Strathmore, Alberta will produce high purity yellow pea protein isolate with optimal functionality for use in food formulations for a diverse group of alternative meat and dairy consumer packaged goods companies who share our vision of sustainably processed foods.

Dear Smiley: I thought you might get a kick out of one more steak story. After being married for two weeks, I wanted to have a special dinner to celebrate my husband's first paycheck. I bought a beautiful T-bone steak, about an inch-and-a-half thick. I put the steak in an egg mixture, then in bread crumbs to fry. In three to four minutes we were ready for dinner. You can imagine what happened … blood everywhere. My mother told me what meat to fry, so after being married a month I bought two pork chops. I put them out to thaw. When I went to start dinner, I found one missing. Hearing a chewing sound under the bed, I found my cat gnawing on the chop. I cleaned it off. I am not as sweet as my husband, so I put a toothpick in the gnawed chop so I knew which one it was. My husband didn't know he shared a pork chop with our cat. My cooking didn't kill him; we have been married almost 63 years. FAY WEILBAECHER Covington Expensive meeting Dear Smiley: The story about the man who found the stranger at the LSU football game brought up a funny memory for my husband, Ross. He was standing in line at the Edward Jones Dome (former home of the St. Louis Rams, now the Dome at America's Center), people-watching while he waited to order his adult beverage. In the throngs of strangers strolling past he spotted a guy he hadn't seen in years. "Hubba, is that you?" Ross called out. The guy stopped, greeted him enthusiastically, and said, "It's great to see you, but man! You just cost me 25 bucks! I bet my friend that nobody here would know me!" LUCY PERRY Kansas City, Missouri Lost river Dear Smiley: Mention of the Mississippi River reminded me of two trips we made to see its headwaters at Lake Itasca in Minnesota. We were in the visitors center, looking at the huge display of the entire course the river took, when we noticed there was no Atchafalaya River included. The second time we went, we took some printed information with us and gave it to them. They had never heard of the Atchafalaya River, but we took care of that. LINDA WHITMAN Denham Springs Going to pieces Dear Smiley: My late father, Earl “Poppa” Deare, from Jeanerette, was raised during the Depression when times were hard. To stretch the budget his mother made ground hamburger meat go farther by adding some flavorful ingredients, including egg, stale French bread, and onion. Once, while living in married students’ apartments, my husband Isby and I were invited to a “bring your own” hamburger cookout. I figured I’d wow the neighbors with my "Poppa Hamburgers," which at home were fried on the stove in a black iron skillet. But on the barbecue grate they quickly broke apart and fell into the charcoal fire! JULAINE DEARE SCHEXNAYDER New Iberia Paint your party Dear Smiley: I had an idea come to me while on a walk with my mother-in-law. As we passed several fire hydrants that looked like they could use a coat of paint, I told her, "We could start a competition in this city, where if you were a supporter of a certain party you could paint blue as many fire hydrants as possible. Similarly, if you were a supporter of a particular party you would paint red as many fire hydrants as possible. Setting off this competition would result in all the fire hydrants being expeditiously painted at no charge to the public purse." Smiley, what do you think? Does the plan have merit? STEPHEN DIXON Baton Rouge Dear Stephen: Sounds OK to me, with this one addition: If you are undecided about which party to back, you can paint your fire hydrant purple.	https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/smiley_anders/article_64f84f4c-1e77-11ed-908e-5b0f15573284.html	2022-08-19 21:14:53	1	https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/smiley_anders/article_64f84f4c-1e77-11ed-908e-5b0f15573284.html
Which cookie press gun is best? If you are a die-hard baker who routinely turns out tray after tray of intricately-designed cookies, you already know how challenging it is to make your baked treats uniform every time. Even for the occasional cookie baker, a cookie press turns a frustrating chore — rolling and shaping cookies — into a peaceful ritual. The best cookie press gun is easy to use and clean, produces consistent results and is made by a trusted brand. The Oxo Good Grips 14-Piece Cookie Press Set ticks all the boxes and is a great choice for bakers. What to know before you buy a cookie press gun Manual vs. electric cookie press guns Cookie presses can be operated manually or by plugging in. Manual presses can be operated anywhere, but some people with hand pain find them difficult after a dozen or more cookies. Manual presses use one of the following systems to press cookies: - Trigger system: Like a gun. - Compression: Uses pressure from the whole hand. - Turn: Easier on arthritic hands. On the other hand, electric cookie press guns are easy to operate and can be used by the youngest and oldest bakers, but they require a power source and are more expensive. Capacity If you plan on making large amounts of cookies, you want a cookie press with a high capacity for dough. This means you won’t need to stop and refill every dozen. Commercial presses hold two cups or more. Material Cookie press guns come in two main materials: plastic and metal. - Plastic: A plastic cookie press is lightweight and easy to use. The plastic should be BPA-free. These are usually more affordable and dishwasher-safe. - Metal: Metal cookie presses are more expensive but are the choice of professionals for their durability. They are usually not dishwasher-safe and must be dried completely before storing to prevent rust. What to look for in a quality cookie press gun Extra discs The more discs that are included with your cookie press gun, the more options you’ll have in terms of cookie designs. Spritz cookies are most common, but with additional discs, you can press seasonal designs that are ready for decorations in no time. Piping tips Tips expand the use of your cookie press gun into the decorative arts. Use these to create intricate frosting designs. Clear barrel A clear plastic barrel lets you plan ahead. It’s easy to see how much dough is left for pressing. How to use a cookie press gun Creating perfect cookies takes some practice. Here are a few tips to make it easier. - Instead of simply packing the dough into the barrel of the press, roll it into a log first. - Refrigerate the dough for best results. It doesn’t need to be completely cold. If it is, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. - As you add dough to the barrel, press down to remove air. - Do not add nuts, dried fruit or chips to your cookie dough. This makes dough impossible to press. - If you press a cookie and it doesn’t come out quite right, scrape it off and try again. How much you can expect to spend on a cookie press gun The price will vary depending on the material of the press, whether it’s electric or manual and what’s included in the set. In general, expect to spend $20-$100 on a set with a gun and at least 10 discs. Cookie press gun FAQ Can children use a cookie press? A. One of the best ways to spend a rainy afternoon is baking with your children. Unfortunately, some cookie presses are not designed for small hands. If you plan to bake with your children frequently, invest in a cookie press that is slightly smaller to fit tiny hands. Additionally, look for an ergonomically designed trigger or compression function that slides easily. You may also consider investing in an electric cookie press. How do you care for a cookie press? A. Each press will be different, so check with the manufacturer’s directions before cleaning. In general, plastic presses are often dishwasher-safe. Disassemble them as much as possible, placing the smaller parts in the silverware basket and the clear tube in the upper rack. Once they are clean, make sure they are completely dry before storing. Metal cookie presses should be washed by hand with hot, soapy water. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. Rinse the soap off completely, and dry the press thoroughly to prevent rust before storing. What’s the best cookie press gun to buy?

NEW YORK (AP) — Social platforms have learned to remove violent videos of extremist shootings more quickly over the past few years. It’s just not clear they’re moving quickly enough. Police say that when a white gunman killed 10 people and wounded three others — most of them Black — in a “racially motivated violent extremist” shooting in Buffalo Saturday, he livestreamed the attack to the gaming platform Twitch, which is owned by Amazon. It didn’t stay there long; a Twitch spokesperson said it removed the video in less than two minutes. That’s considerably faster than the 17 minutes Facebook needed to take down a similar video streamed by a self-described white supremacist who killed 51 people in two New Zealand mosques in 2019. But versions of the Buffalo shooting video still quickly spread to other platforms, and they haven’t always disappeared quickly. In April, Twitter enacted a new policy on “perpetrators of violent attacks” to remove accounts maintained by “individual perpetrators of terrorist, violent extremist, or mass violent attacks,” along with tweets and other material produced by perpetrators of such attacks. On Sunday, though, clips of the video were still circulating on the platform. One clip purporting to display a first-person view of the gunman moving through a supermarket firing at people was posted to Twitter at 8:12 a.m. Pacific time, and was still viewable more than four hours later. Twitter said Sunday it was working to remove material related to the shooting that violates its rules. But the company added that when people share media to condemn it or provide context, sharing videos and other material from the shooter may not be a rules violation. In these cases, Twitter said it covers images or videos with a “sensitive material” cover that users have to click through in order to view them. But later Sunday, Twitter changed course on how it was treating material related to the shooting. In a subsequent emailed statement, the company said it is “removing videos and media related to the incident” and “may remove” tweets disseminating the shooter’s writings. Earlier, the company’s statement said it “may” remove material produced by perpetrators. “We believe the hateful and discriminatory views promoted in content produced by perpetrators are harmful for society and that their dissemination should be limited in order to prevent perpetrators from publicizing their message,” Twitter said in a statement. At a news conference following the attack, New York Gov, Kathy Hochul said social media companies must be more vigilant in monitoring what happens on their platforms and found it inexcusable the livestream wasn’t taken down “within a second.” “The CEOs of those companies need to be held accountable and assure all of us that they’re taking every step humanly possible to be able to monitor this information,” Hochul said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “How these depraved ideas are fermenting on social media – it’s spreading like a virus now.” Hochul said she holds companies responsible for “fomenting” racist views. “People are sharing these ideas. They’re sharing videos of other attacks. And they’re all copycat. They all want to be the next great white hope that’s going to inspire the next attack,” she said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that investigators were also looking into a diatribe the gunman posted online, which purports to outline the attacker’s racist, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic beliefs, including a desire to drive all people not of European descent from the U.S. Police said the suspected gunman, identified as Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York, shot 11 Black and two white victims in a Buffalo supermarket, echoing a deadly attack in a German synagogue that was also streamed on Twitch in October 2019.. Twitch is popular among video game players and has played a key role in boosting the spread of esports. A company spokesperson said the company has a “zero-tolerance policy” against violence. So far, the company hasn’t revealed details around the user page or the livestream, including how many people were watching it. The spokesperson said the company has taken the account offline and is monitoring any others who might rebroadcast the video. In Europe, a senior European Union official with oversight of digital affairs for the 27-nation bloc said Sunday that the livestreaming on Twitch showed the need for administrators to continue working with online platforms so that any future broadcasts of killings can be quickly shut down. But Margrethe Vestager, who is an executive vice-president of the European Commission, also said it would be a stiff challenge to stamp out such broadcasts completely. “It’s really difficult to make sure that it’s completely waterproof, to make sure that this will never happen and that people will be closed down the second they would start a thing like that. Because there’s a lot of livestreaming which, of course, is 100% legitimate,” she said an interview with The Associated Press. “The platforms have done a lot to get to the root of this. They are not there yet,” she added. “But they keep working and we will keep working.” Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said Sunday that it quickly designated the shooting as a “terrorist attack” on Saturday, which triggered an internal process that identifies the suspect’s account, as well as copies of his writings and any copy of or link to video of his attack. The company said it has removed the video of the shooting from the platform and added that instances of it still being shared are through links to streaming sites. These links, in turn, are blocked and “blackholed” by the company, meaning they can’t be uploaded again. But new links created as people upload copies to outside sites would have to be individually blocked in a game of cat and mouse — unless the company choses to block an entire streaming site from its platform, which is unlikely. Jared Holt, a resident fellow at Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, said live-content moderation continues to be a big challenge for companies. He noted Twitch’s response time was good and the company was smart to watch their platform for potential re-uploads. “It would behoove other video hosting platforms to also be aware of this content to the extent that it may have been recorded – may also be republished on their own products,” Holt said. __ AP technology reporter Barbara Ortutay contributed to this story from Oakland, Calif.; AP reporter John Leicester contributed from Paris.	https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/social-media-yanking-shooting-videos-faster-if-not-by-much/	2022-05-16 19:36:49	1	https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/social-media-yanking-shooting-videos-faster-if-not-by-much/
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin police are investigating how private photos and video of members of the school’s national champion women’s volleyball team were circulated publicly without their consent. Wisconsin’s athletic department issued a statement Wednesday saying players contacted campus police after they became aware the photos had been made public. The statement didn’t indicate when or where the photos or video were taken. The Wisconsin State Journal reported that photos were taken from inside the team’s locker room. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said one photo appeared to be taken after Wisconsin clinched the Big Ten championship last season. The statement indicated police are “investigating multiple crimes, including sharing sensitive photos without consent.” Wisconsin said “the unauthorized sharing is a significant and wrongful invasion of the student-athletes’ privacy, including potential violations of university policies and criminal statutes.” University of Wisconsin police spokesman Marc Lovicott confirmed the investigation Thursday. Lovicott declined to share additional details because it’s an active investigation. The volleyball players aren’t being investigated for wrongdoing. “Our top priority is supporting our student-athletes, and we are providing them with the appropriate services and resources,” Wisconsin’s athletic department said. Wisconsin won its first national title last year, beating Nebraska in the championship match. The Badgers (13-3, 7-1 Big Ten) are ranked fifth in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll heading into Friday’s home match with Michigan State.	https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Wisconsin-female-athletes-notify-police-over-17522335.php	2022-10-20 16:37:50	1	https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Wisconsin-female-athletes-notify-police-over-17522335.php
(The Hill) – The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued heat-related advisories for millions of Americans this week as a heat wave creates warmer than usual temperatures in large areas of the United States. At least 28 states issued heat warnings on Wednesday, as states like Oklahoma and Texas recorded temperatures as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Beyond the two states, areas in Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri all experienced temperatures more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages for this time of year, according to maps posted by Tropical Tidbits based on NWS data. The data shows higher than average temperatures will continue hitting areas like the Midwest into the weekend, when large temperature anomalies will move eastward and cause heat waves in the northeast and in states like Virginia, Maryland and Ohio. NWS has issued a heat advisory for areas where more than 75 million Americans live as of Wednesday evening, and more than 14 million Americans are under the more significant excessive heat warnings. The excessive heat warnings include parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. The heat advisories include areas like the southeast and much of east coast, including cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston. The advisories include parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The United States isn’t the only country facing extreme heat. Parts of Europe are also facing a major heatwave, with countries like the United Kingdom forecasted to potentially record record temperatures this week. President Biden on Wednesday traveled to a former coal plant in Somerset, Mass., where he described climate change as an “emergency” but did not formally issue a national emergency on climate change after weighing the move. “As president, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that is what climate change is about,” Biden said.	https://www.wane.com/news/where-the-scorching-july-heatwave-is-hitting-the-us-hardest/	2022-07-21 10:52:14	1	https://www.wane.com/news/where-the-scorching-july-heatwave-is-hitting-the-us-hardest/
NEW YORK (AP) — Food writer Julie Powell, who became an internet darling after blogging for a year about making every recipe in Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” leading to a book deal and a film adaptation, has died. She was 49. Powell died of cardiac arrest Oct. 26 at her home in upstate New York, The New York Times reported. Her death was confirmed by Judy Clain, Powell's email and editor in chief of Little, Brown. “She was a brilliant writer and a daring, original person and she will not be forgotten,” Clain said in a statement. ”We are sending our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Julie, whether personally or through the deep connections she forged with readers of her memoirs." Powell's 2005 book “Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen” became the hit, Nora Ephron-directed film “Julie & Julia,” with the author portrayed in the movie by Amy Adams and Meryl Streep as Child. Her sophomore and last effort — titled “Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession” — was a bit jarring in its honesty. Powell revealed she had an affair, the pain of loving two men at once, of her fondness for sadomasochism and even a bout of self-punishing sex with a stranger. “People coming from the movie ‘Julie & Julia’ and picking up ‘Cleaving’ are going to be in for some emotional whiplash,” she told The Associated Press in 2009. “I don’t believe it’s going to be a Nora Ephron movie.” Powell began her affair in 2004 as she was putting the finishing touches on her first book, a time she writes when she was “starry-eyed and vaguely discontented and had too much time on my hands.” By 2006, she had landed an apprenticeship at a butcher shop two hours north of New York City, which offered an escape from her crumbling marriage and a place to explore her childhood curiosity with butchers. “The way they held a knife in their hand was like an extension of themselves,” she said. “I’m a very clumsy person. I don’t play sports. That kind of physical skill is really foreign to me, and I’m really envious of that.” The book explores the link between butchering and her own tortured romantic life. At one point, while cutting the connective tissue on a pig’s leg, she writes: “It’s sad, but a relief as well, to know that two things so closely bound together can separate with so little violence, leaving smooth surfaces instead of bloody shreds.” Her book tapped into the growing interest in old school butchery and her experience slicing meat actually resulted in her eating less of it. She was an advocate for humanely raised and slaughtered animals. “People want to get their hands dirty. People want to participate in the process. People want to know where their food is coming from,” Powell said. “People don’t want the mystery anymore.” She is survived by her husband, Eric. ___ Mark Kennedy is at http://twitter.com/KennedyTwits Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s legislature was preparing plans Monday to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy should the Ukraine president decide to come to Brussels to attend an EU summit later this week. Two sources in the parliament, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said such plans are only meant to prepare the legislature to host Zelenskyy if security conditions permit him to attend Thursday’s meeting. “When he would come, we would be ready,” said one of the sources, stressing that because of security concerns any decision could only come at the last moment. EU leaders from 27-nation bloc will be gathering for Thursday’s summit in Brussels, enabling Zelenskyy to meet all major leaders of the bloc in one day. Zelenskyy has often addressed EU summits only through video calls from Ukraine. Zelenskyy has long had an open invitation to come to Brussels if he chose to. It remains unclear whether Zelenskyy would be able to travel as Russian forces are keeping Ukrainian troops tied down with attacks in the eastern Donbas region amid concern that of a new Russian offensive could be in the offing. EU Council President Charles Michel and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv last Friday where they told Zelenskyy he had the bloc’s unrelenting support in Ukraine’s fight against Russia. The only trip outside Ukraine that Zelenskyy has made was a visit to Washington in December to seek further aid for the war and to thank Ukraine’s major financial and military back for its support. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine: https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine	https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/ap-eu-parliament-planning-for-possible-zelenksyy-visit-in-days/	2023-02-07 15:02:26	0	https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/ap-eu-parliament-planning-for-possible-zelenksyy-visit-in-days/
WASHINGTON (AP) — The arrest of actor Jonathan Majors has upended the Army’s newly launched advertising campaign that was aimed at reviving the service’s struggling recruiting numbers. Majors, who authorities said was arrested Saturday in New York on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment, was the narrator of two ads at the heart of a broader media campaign that kicked off at the start of the NCAA’s March Madness college basketball tournament. Army leaders were hopeful that the popularity of the star of the recently released “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,” would help them reach the youth audience. In a statement Sunday, the Army’s Enterprise Marketing Office said that the Army was aware of Majors’ arrest and was “deeply concerned by the allegations.” It added that while Majors “is innocent until proven guilty, prudence dictates that we pull our ads until the investigation into these allegations is complete.” New York City police said the actor was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman. “The victim informed police she was assaulted,” a police spokesperson said in a statement. A lawyer for Majors, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement Sunday there was evidence clearing Majors and that the actor “is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.” The Army ads, titled “Overcoming Obstacles” and “Pushing Tomorrow,” are part of the plan to revive the Army’s “Be All You Can be” motto. They highlighted the history of the Army and some of the many professions that recruits can pursue. The “Be All You Can Be” slogan dominated its recruiting ads for two decades starting in 1981. A nearly two-minute preview video, made available before the campaign rollout in early March, featured soldiers jumping out of airplanes, working on helicopters, climbing obstacle courses and diving underwater. A voiceover said: “We bring out the best in the people who serve, because America calls for nothing less.” In the Army’s worst recruiting year in recent history, the service fell 25% short of its goal to enlist 60,000 recruits in 2022. The new ads were a key element in the Army’s drive to find creative new ways to attract recruits and ensure that the service has the troops it needs to help defend the nation. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said the Army has set a difficult goal for this year: aiming to bring in 65,000 recruits, which would be 20,000 more than in 2022.	https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national/army-pulls-recruiting-ads-after-jonathan-majors-arrest/	2023-03-26 22:38:24	1	https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national/army-pulls-recruiting-ads-after-jonathan-majors-arrest/
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — When North Dakota restricted what bathrooms transgender students can use in public schools and universities this year, the school district in the state's largest city promised to ignore the new rules. A Republican legislator then called for confiscating its state funding, but the law doesn't include that possibility. The defiance in Fargo shows that it's not exactly clear how bathroom laws will play out in local communities after being enacted in at least 10 states with Republican-controlled legislatures. Kansas' GOP attorney general planned to discuss his state's law Monday, five days before it was to take effect. His view is likely to be challenged. Even Florida's law, allowing the state to threaten the licenses of educators who don't comply, says a transgender student or staffer must first be asked to leave a restroom and refuse. Some schools already have gender-neutral bathrooms and changing spaces or allow trans students to use staff restrooms. In others, trans students try to make it through the day without using a restroom. Advocates for transgender people worry that bullying will increase. “Especially in smaller towns where, say, that bullying could be really bad because transgender individuals are really misunderstood,” said Caedmon Marx, outreach chair for LGBTQ+ advocacy group Dakota OutRight and a 23-year-old nonbinary Bismarck State University student. While the laws focus mostly on transgender students, critics believe they also encourage harassment of trans adults at work and while they're shopping and eating out — and even harassment of cisgender people, or those whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. “By men, I get harassed for going into a women’s restroom because people think that — the way I look, the way I dress, they way my hair is — that I’m a man,” Kansas state Rep. Susan Ruiz, a Kansas City-area Democrat and a lesbian, said during a debate over the Kansas bathroom measure. “This is going to just open up the doors for that.” North Carolina Republicans enacted a bathroom law in 2016, but rolled it back following protests and economic boycotts. A new wave of anti-LGBTQ+ measures began building in 2020, when Idaho enacted the nation's first law barring transgender athletes from girls and women's sports. State lawmakers across the U.S. considered hundreds of proposals this year. Supporters argue that bathroom laws protect the privacy of cisgender women and girls. They've also pitched the laws as safety measures, without evidence of threats or assaults by transgender people against cisgender women or girls. In North Dakota, Republican state Rep. Robin Weisz, chair of a committee that handled bathroom legislation, said some lawmakers worried about "being taken over by a radical agenda” on gender identity. A GOP colleague, state Rep. Bill Tveit, said: "Our whole society is catering to it and encouraging it, and I don’t think that that’s where we’re at, nor should be.” States' laws vary in their sweep. Florida and North Dakota are applying their restrictions to state universities and prisons. Arkansas is making it a misdemeanor for transgender adults to be in any public changing room associated with their gender identities if a minor is present and the purpose is "arousing or gratifying a sexual desire." Kansas' law applies not just to restrooms and locker rooms, but to rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, prisons and other detention centers. State laws also differ in what they say about enforcement. If an Oklahoma school violates that state's 2022 law, its district can lose 5% of its state funding, though none have so far. Florida schools and universities must have policies for punishing students who don't comply, and educators who flout the law could risk losing their state licenses. Starting in July 2024, the state attorney general can sue schools that don't comply. Arkansas mandates a minimum fine of $1,000 for defiant educators, and Iowa residents can file complaints with the state's attorney general. Arkansas, Idaho, Oklahoma and Tennessee allow private lawsuits against schools. But laws in Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky and North Dakota don't spell out any enforcement regime. Transgender, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming people and LGBTQ-rights advocates predict that states will rely on “vigilante” enforcement by private individuals. Sarah Warbelow, legal director for the Human Rights Campaign, expects lawsuits from people “dedicated to making life impossible for transgender people.” All of the laws permit schools and other institutions to make special accommodations for trans students, such as providing gender-neutral bathrooms, so long as they aren't allowed into facilities associated with their gender identities. In Kansas' largest school district in Wichita, schools already have worked with individual students and their parents to make accommodations. In northeast Iowa, the Decorah school district sought guidance on what the signs outside its single-use restrooms should say. “We're following the law,” Superintendent Tim Cronin said. “We're not trying to editorialize on any of this.” In Des Moines, Iowa, the school district already had been preparing for a bathroom law for several years and “the facilities were in place” when the state's law was enacted, spokesman Phil Roeder said. The Shawnee Mission district in the affluent Kansas suburbs of Kansas City is adding gender-neutral restrooms, too, with most of the work completed. But in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Al Stone-Gebhardt, an 18-year-old transgender man, recently graduated from a high school that didn't have gender-neutral restrooms. After using the girls restroom during his junior year, he planned to use the nurse's but was turned away the first day of his senior year. His mother, Erika DuBose, acknowledged “flipping out” when her son texted her about it. She sent an email to school staff that demanded, “HOW DARE YOU DENY MY CHILD THEIR BIOLOGICAL NEEDS?" To avoid using any restroom at school, her son was wasn't eating or drinking much. The school became more accommodating, they said. “It is literally putting trans students at risk,” Stone-Gebhardt said. “Having to choose between being hydrated and being outed is extremely traumatic and inherently problematic as well.” Warbelow said states can expect some “civil disobedience." In the liberal community of Lawrence in northeast Kansas, the home of the University of Kansas' main campus, the local district attorney declared that she wouldn't prosecute violations of the new state law. And in Fargo, one of North Dakota's rare politically blue places, the school board backed Superintendent Rupak Gandhi's public statement that, "We will not participate in anything that we think is going to subject students to further discrimination or increase their self-harm.” That prompted Tveit to email fellow state lawmakers, suggesting the district lose its state funding. But North Dakota's Legislature won't be in session again until 2025. “I think any law that goes into place needs a specific penalty,” Tveit said, “because without a specific penalty, then you have this defiance.” ___ Hanna reported from Topeka, Kan., and Murphy, from Tulsa, Okla.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- "Working with brides is such a high-stakes thing. It is one of the most important days of their lives so if the dress is wrong, then I've really failed," says Amanda Vereb, the owner, designer, and seamstress at The Iron Horse Atelier. "It's really important to me to be a really great part of their special day." At just three years old, Amanda was sewing alongside her great-grandmother. Later on, she turned her passion into a career, selling her motorcycle to purchase an industrial sewing machine and later opening The Iron Horse Atelier. The premier tailor studio specializes in bridal alterations and suit tailoring. On rare occasions, Amanda also designs wedding gowns. "Hannah has been my client since I opened up my doors in 2016," Amanda says. And upon seeing her work, Hannah knew immediately that Amanda would be the one to make her gown. A few years later when Hannah was engaged, they got to work designing her unconventional bridal gown in a bright floral print that encapsulated Hannahs's eccentric personality. "I think Amanda is what makes The Iron Horse really special," Hannah says. "You're not just coming to a tailor that's going to raise your hem two inches, you're coming to somebody that knows the best way to make you look really, really good and bring your vision to life." Amanda gives credit to Hiscox Business Insurance for helping her achieve her dreams. "I think it's really important for me to get Hiscox Business Insurance so that I can protect my machines, all of my belongings that made my business successful." She goes on to urge other women who want to start their own businesses to "never be afraid and be creative." She concludes, "You really might surprise yourself (with) what works."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The death of a pilot who fell from a small airplane in flight in North Carolina in July has been ruled an accident, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The autopsy states that the death of Charles Hew Crooks, 23, was likely the result of falling from the back of the plane while vomiting, The News & Observer reported. “Based on the autopsy findings and circumstances surrounding the death, as currently understood, the cause of death is listed as multiple blunt force injuries. The manner of death is classified as accident,” the report states. Crooks sustained extensive injuries, including several broken bones and fatal internal injuries. Two pilots had been flying skydivers out of Raeford West Airport on July 29 and were descending toward the airport for a third run when a hard landing occurred, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board released in August. The other pilot assumed the flight controls and directed Crooks to declare an emergency and request a diversion to Raleigh-Durham International Airport for landing, the report stated. The other pilot told investigators that Crooks became upset about 20 minutes into the diversion, opening his side cockpit window and “may have gotten sick,” the report stated. Crooks then lowered the ramp in the back of the airplane, indicating that he felt like he was going to be sick and needed air. The report said the co-pilot “got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door.” Early reports and 911 calls said Crooks “jumped” or “exited” the plane, but the autopsy found that the fall was accidental. “Upon review, it was concluded that the decedent had gone aft, likely to vomit from the open ramp, and accidentally fallen from the aircraft,” the autopsy report said.	https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/nc-co-pilots-death-in-fall-from-plane-ruled-accidental/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world	2022-12-01 20:43:21	0	https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/nc-co-pilots-death-in-fall-from-plane-ruled-accidental/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world
Willie Nelson inhales the love at 90th birthday concert By ANDREW DALTON AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Are there any more real cowboys?” Neil Young sang Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl on a rare evening when he was neither the headliner nor, at age 77, even close to the oldest artist on the bill. Providing an instant answer, Willie Nelson, wearing a cowboy hat and red-white-and-blue guitar strap, slowly strolled on to the stage on his 90th birthday, bringing the crowd of more than 17,000 to its feet. Nelson sat in a chair — one of the few onstage concessions he’s made to age — and joined Young for the rest of their 1985 duet, “Are There Any More Real Cowboys?” “I want to thank all the artists who came out tonight to help celebrate whatever it is we’re celebrating,” said Nelson, feigning senility and getting a laugh. The moment came three hours into the first of a two-night celebration of the country legend at the open-air Los Angeles amphitheater, where generations of stars sang his songs in tribute. “As a kid growing up in Texas, it seemed like there was nothing bigger than Willie Nelson,” said Owen Wilson, one of the evening’s emcees along with Helen Mirren, Ethan Hawke and Jennifer Garner. “And looking out at the Hollywood Bowl tonight, it still feels like there’s nothing bigger than Willie Nelson.” After Young, Nelson brought out George Strait, a country superstar of the following generation, for their self-referential duet, “Sing One With Willie,” followed by the Willie perennial, “Pancho and Lefty,” with Strait singing the part once played by the late Merle Haggard. Nelson then shouted, “Come out and roll one with me Snoop!” Strutting out came rapper Snoop Dogg, sitting next to Nelson as they launched into their stoner anthem, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.” Perhaps fittingly, each seemed to forget the words at times. The two friends looked too happy to care. “Somebody make some noise for the legend Mr. Willie Nelson!” Snoop shouted mid-song. The parade of partners illustrated one of the night’s themes: Willie brings people together. “All of the sudden, it didn’t matter if you were a hillbilly or a hippie, everyone was a Willie Nelson fan,” Wilson said of Nelson’s late-blooming emergence as a singing superstar when he left Nashville, Tennessee, and returned to his native Texas in the 1970s. “Even the Dalai Lama is a Willie Nelson fan. It’s true.” The crowd, which ranged from small children to seniors, illustrated the point. The stands were dotted with cowboy hats while hippies danced in the aisles and weed smoke wafted in the air. Miranda Lambert thrilled them with a rousing, sing-along version of “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” Nelson’s 1978 hit with Waylon Jennings. The Chicks blazed through 1970’s “Bloody Mary Morning” at the same break-neck pace that Willie and his Family Band played it live in their prime. Nelson has outlived nearly every member of that band, which backed him for decades of constant touring and recording. His little sister and piano player, Bobbie Nelson, died last year. She got her own tribute from Norah Jones, who banged the keys through the younger Nelson’s saloon-style solo song, “Down Yonder,” from Willie Nelson’s definitive 1975 album, “Red Headed Stranger.” While many of the women who took the stage played rousing rockers, most of the men went in for quiet emotion. Chris Stapleton kept his guitar at his side through a soft, reflective rendition of “Always on My Mind,” Nelson’s biggest solo hit of the 1980s. Nelson’s son Lukas sang “Angel Flying Too Close to The Ground” alone with his acoustic guitar, his voice a dead ringer for his dad’s. Another surviving member of the Family Band, harmonica master Mickey Raphael, was part of the weekend’s house band, led by Don Was, which backed almost everyone. Nelson also has outlived most of his classic collaborators. But an essential one, his 86-year-old Highwaymen bandmate Kris Kristofferson, made it to the stage to join Rosanne Cash, the daughter of another Highwayman: Johnny Cash. Rosanne Cash was singing Nelson’s “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)” when Kristofferson, who wrote the song, came out and harmonized with her on the choruses. Nelson’s musical diversity was another evening theme. “He blends and bends genres,” Mirren said from the stage. “His timing and categories are his own.” Leon Bridges’ “Night Life” showed off Nelson’s affinity for the blues, as did Jones’ jazzy trip through “Funny How Time Slips Away” from 1961, when Nelson was known primarily as a songwriter of hits for others. Ziggy Marley sang “Still Is Still Moving To Me,” which Nelson recorded in 1993 and later sang with Toots and the Maytals in one of his occasional forays into reggae. Marley shouted “Wee-lay!” in his Jamaican accent during the song. Sunday’s night show will feature a whole different range of acts including Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris. Young first took the stage with his early collaborator Stephen Stills. The pair played a revved up version of “For What It’s Worth,” swapping guitar solos on the classic hit they made as members of Buffalo Springfield in 1966. Nelson brought out all the evening’s artists to join him for the Carter Family’s 1935 song, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” a longtime live favorite of his and the classic closing song for all of country music. It was clearly intended to be the end, as Hawke took the mic and started to thank everyone for coming. But the 90-year-old wasn’t ready to stop. He interrupted and broke into Mac Davis’ “It’s Hard to Be Humble,” which Nelson and his sons recorded in 2019. It was a funny choice for a final song, but its chorus was a perfect comic coda for a man who had been drowned in adoration all night: “To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man. Oh lord, it’s hard to be humble. But I’m doing the best that I can.”	https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/04/30/willie-nelson-inhales-the-love-at-90th-birthday-concert/	2023-04-30 12:22:51	1	https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/04/30/willie-nelson-inhales-the-love-at-90th-birthday-concert/

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democratic-backed Milwaukee judge won the high stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday, ensuring liberals will take over majority control of the court for the first time in 15 years with the fate of the state’s abortion ban pending. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated former Justice Dan Kelly, who previously worked for Republicans and had support from the state’s leading anti-abortion groups. It’s his second loss in a race for Supreme Court in three years. The new court controlled 4-3 by liberals is expected to decide a pending lawsuit challenging the state’s 1849 law banning abortion. Protasiewicz made the issue a focus of her campaign and won the support of Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights groups. The court is also expected to hear a new challenge to Republican-drawn legislative maps. Protasiewicz ran as a critic of the current maps, calling them “rigged.” The court came within one vote of overturning President Joe Biden’s win in the state in 2020, and both major parties are preparing for another close race in 2024. With so much at stake, the race became the most expensive contest for a state Supreme Court seat in U.S. history. Protasiewicz will begin her 10-year term in August. She replaces retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin voters were deciding the outcome of the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history on Tuesday in a heated contest that will likely determine the fate of abortion access, the future of Republican-drawn legislative maps, voting rights and years of other GOP policies. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has been under conservative control for 15 years, serving as the final word on a wide array of Republican policies enacted by the GOP-controlled Legislature. The court came within one vote of overturning President Joe Biden’s narrow win in 2020. Democratic-backed candidate Janet Protasiewicz, 60, faces Republican-backed Dan Kelly, 58, in a contest that has nearly tripled the $15 million cost of a 2004 Illinois tilt that had been the most expensive court race in U.S. history. After polls closed Tuesday, all eyes were on the outcome of a race that will determine whether Democratic-backed justices take control of the high court for at least the next two years, including the run-up and aftermath of the 2024 presidential election. Four of the past six presidential elections in Wisconsin have been decided by less than a percentage point and Trump turned to the courts in 2020 in his unsuccessful push to overturn his roughly 21,000-vote loss in the state. Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee County judge, largely focused her campaign around abortion, saying she supports abortion rights but stopping short of saying how she would rule on a pending lawsuit challenging Wisconsin’s 174-year-old ban that was enacted a year after statehood. She called Kelly an “extreme partisan” and claimed that if he wins, Kelly would uphold the ban. Kelly has not said how he would rule. Kelly has expressed opposition to abortion in the past, including in a 2012 blog post in which he said the Democratic Party and the National Organization for Women were committed to normalizing the taking of human life. He also has done legal work for Wisconsin Right to Life. Kelly is a former justice who has also performed work for Republicans and advised them on a plan to have fake GOP electors cast their ballots for Trump following the 2020 election even though Trump had lost. He is endorsed by the state’s top three anti-abortion groups, while Protasiewicz is backed by Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights advocates. Protasiewicz called Kelly “a true threat to our democracy” because of his advising on the fake elector scheme.. Kelly was appointed to the state Supreme Court by then-Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, in 2016. He served four years before being defeated in 2020 on the same ballot as the Democratic presidential primary. Kelly was endorsed by Trump that year. Trump did not endorse this year. Protasiewicz’s endorsements include Hillary Clinton. Kelly tried to distance himself from his work for Republicans, saying it was “irrelevant” to how he would work as a justice. He tried to make the campaign about Protasiewicz’s record as a judge, arguing that she was soft on crime and accusing her of being “bought and paid for” by Democrats. The Wisconsin Democratic Party gave Protasiewicz’s campaign more than $8 million, leading her to promise to recuse herself from any case brought by the party. Kelly refused to promise to step down from any case brought by his supporters, which include the state chamber of commerce. In addition to abortion, Protasiewicz was outspoken on Wisconsin’s gerrymandered legislative maps, calling them “rigged.” Kelly accused her of prejudging that case, abortion and others that could come before the court. The state Supreme Court upheld Republican-drawn maps in 2022. Those maps, widely regarded as among the most gerrymandered in the country, have helped Republicans increase their hold on the state Legislature to near supermajority levels, even as Democrats have won statewide elections, including Tony Evers as governor in both 2018 and 2022 and Biden in 2020. The winner will serve a 10-year term starting in August replacing retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack. She is part of the current 4-3 conservative majority.	https://www.wearegreenbay.com/election/judge-janet-protasiewicz-wins-wisconsin-supreme-court-race/	2023-04-05 04:03:55	0	https://www.wearegreenbay.com/election/judge-janet-protasiewicz-wins-wisconsin-supreme-court-race/
(The Conversation) – Shortages of basic goods still plague the U.S. economy – 2½ years after the pandemic’s onset turned global supply chains upside down. Want a new car? You may have to wait as long as six months, depending on the model you order. Looking for a spicy condiment? Supplies of Sriracha hot sauce have been running dangerously low. And if you feed your cat or dog dry pet food, expect empty shelves or elevated prices. These aren’t isolated products. Baby formula, wine and spirits, lawn chairs, garage doors, butter, cream cheese, breakfast cereal and many more items have also been facing shortages in the U.S. during 2022 – and popcorn and tomatoes are expected to be in short supply soon. In fact, global supply chains have been under the most strain in at least a quarter-century, and have been pretty much ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began. I have been immersed in supply chain management for over 35 years, both as a manager and consultant in the private sector and as an adjunct professor at Colorado State University – Global Campus. While each product experiencing a shortage has its own story as to what went wrong, at the root of most is a concept people in my field call the “bullwhip effect.” What is the ‘bullwhip effect’? The term bullwhip effect was coined in 1961 by MIT computer scientist Jay Forrester in his seminal book “Industrial Dynamics.” It describes what happens when fluctuations in demand reverberate and amplify throughout the supply chain, leading to worsening problems and shortages. Imagine the physics of cracking a whip. It starts with a small flick of the wrist, but the whip’s wave patterns grow exponentially in a chain reaction, leading to the tip, a snap – and a sharp pain for anyone on the receiving end. The same thing can happen in supply chains when orders for a product from a retailer, say, go up or down by some amount and that gets amplified by wholesalers, distributors and raw material suppliers. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to lengthy lockdowns, massive unemployment and a whole host of other effects that messed up global supply chains, essentially supercharged the bullwhip’s snap.How the bullwhip effect works. Cars and chips The supply of autos is one such example. New as well as used vehicles have been in short supply throughout the pandemic, at times forcing consumers to wait as long as a year for the most popular models. In early 2020, when the pandemic put most Americans in lockdown, carmakers began to anticipate a fall in demand, so they significantly scaled back production. This sent a signal to suppliers, especially of computer chips, that they would need to find different buyers for their products. Computer chips aren’t one size fits all; they are designed differently depending on their end use. So chipmakers began making fewer chips intended for use in cars and trucks and more for computers and smart refrigerators. So when demand for vehicles suddenly returned in early 2021, carmakers were unable to secure enough chips to ramp up production. Production last year was down about 13% from 2019 levels. Since then, chipmakers have began to produce more car-specific chips, and Congress even passed a law to beef up U.S. manufacturing of semiconductors. Some carmakers, such as Ford and General Motors, have decided to sell incomplete cars, without chips and the special features they power like touchscreens, to relieve delays. But shortages remain. You could chalk this up to poor planning, but it’s also the bullwhip effect in action. The bullwhip is everywhere And this is a problem for a heck of a lot of goods and parts, especially if they, like semiconductors, come from Asia. In fact, pretty much everything Americans get from Asia – about 40% of all U.S. imports – could be affected by the bullwhip effect. Most of this stuff travels to the U.S. by container ships, the cheapest means of transportation. That means goods must typically spend a week or longer traversing the Pacific Ocean. The bullwhip effect comes in when a disruption in the information flow from customer to supplier happens. For example, let’s say a customer sees that an order of lawn chairs has not been delivered by the expected date, perhaps because of a minor transportation delay. So the customer complains to the retailer, which in turn orders more from the manufacturer. Manufacturers see orders increase and pass the orders on to the suppliers with a little added, just in case. What started out as a delay in transportation now has become a major increase in orders all down the supply chain. Now the retailer gets delivery of all the products it overordered and reduces the next order to the factory, which reduces its order to suppliers, and so on. Now try to visualize the bullwhip of orders going up and down at the suppliers’ end. The pandemic caused all kinds of transportation disruptions – whether due to a lack of workers, problems at a port or something else – most of which triggered the bullwhip effect. The end isn’t nigh When will these problems end? The answer will likely disappoint you. As the world continues to become more interconnected, a minor problem can become larger if information is not available. Even with the right information at the right time, life happens. A storm might cause a ship carrying new cars from Europe to be lost at sea. Having only a few sources of baby formula causes a shortage when a safety issue shuts down the largest producer. Russia invades Ukraine, and 10% of the world’s grain is held hostage. The early effects of the pandemic in 2020 led to a sharp drop in demand, which rippled through supply chains and decreased production. A strong U.S. economy and consumers flush with coronavirus cash led to a surge in demand in 2021, and the system had a hard time catching up. Now the impact of soaring inflation and a looming recession will reverse that effect, leading to a glut of stuff and a drop in orders. And the cycle will repeat. As best as I can tell, these disruptions will take many years to recover from. And as recent inflation reduces demand for goods, and consumers begin cutting back, the bullwhip will again work its way through the supply chain – and you’ll see more shortages as it does.	https://www.koin.com/news/butter-garage-doors-and-suvs-why-shortages-remain-common-2%C2%BD-years-into-the-pandemic/	2022-10-01 20:52:11	1	https://www.koin.com/news/butter-garage-doors-and-suvs-why-shortages-remain-common-2%C2%BD-years-into-the-pandemic/
Adam Scott ranks 45th on the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging 305.2 yards off the tee. On Saturday, however, Scott hit a drive that traveled just 35 yards. Let Scott explain: "Yeah, I tried to cut one off the creek, and I pulled it, and it hit the tree right off the tee and just dropped in front of the tee box. It's a long par 4 that way." Scott still had 440 yards to the hole after his tee shot. His next shot traveled 310 yards but missed the fairway right. Scott had to navigate the tree line with his third shot, which didn't reach the green either, coming to rest just outside of 15 yards from the hole. And up-and-down bogey followed, as Scott made a 3-footer. Despite the unfortunate finish, Scott shot 4-under 67 with six birdies to move into a share of third at 11 under, five shots back of leader Wyndham Clark. Full-field scores from the Wells Fargo Championship Scott entered the week No. 133 in the FedExCup, and though he hasn't missed a cut in eight starts this year, he also owns just one top-30 finish in a full-field event, a T-12 at the Sony Open. "I feel like last year I really worked hard to kind of climb myself back into a good spot, and this year has been slow to get going, calendar year-wise certainly," Scott said. "This is the best performance for three days of a tournament so far, so I'm looking for a really good back half of this season. It's been hard not to be frustrated because there isn't one thing that I can really put my finger on why I'm not getting better results. "I play OK every week and OK kind of sucks on the PGA Tour, so I'm nowhere with anything. This business is all about results, so that's what I'm looking for tomorrow."	https://www.golfchannel.com/news/adam-scott-hits-35-yard-drive-quail-hollows-18th-hole-still-fires-67	2023-05-07 02:46:06	1	https://www.golfchannel.com/news/adam-scott-hits-35-yard-drive-quail-hollows-18th-hole-still-fires-67

WASHINGTON — As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues with no end in sight, NATO's much-celebrated unity faces fresh strains when leaders gather for their annual summit this week in Vilnius, Lithuania. The world’s biggest security alliance is struggling to reach an agreement on admitting Sweden as its 32nd member. Military spending by member nations lags behind long-standing goals. An inability to compromise over who should serve as NATO’s next leader forced an extension of the current secretary-general's term for an extra year. Perhaps the most difficult questions are over how Ukraine should be eased into NATO. Some maintain admitting Ukraine would fulfill a promise made years ago and be a necessary step to deter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. Others fear it would be seen as a provocation that could spiral into an even wider conflict. "I don’t think it’s ready for membership in NATO," President Joe Biden told CNN in an interview airing Sunday. He said joining NATO requires countries to “meet all the qualifications, from democratization to a whole range of other issues.” He said the United States should provide long-term security assistance to Ukraine — "the capacity to defend themselves" — as it does with Israel. Bickering among friends is not uncommon, and the current catalogue of disputes pales in comparison with past fears that Donald Trump would turn his back on the alliance during his presidency. But the current challenges come at a moment when Biden and his counterparts are heavily invested in demonstrating harmony among members. “Any fissure, any lack of solidarity provides an opportunity for those who would oppose the alliance,” said Douglas Lute, U.S. ambassador to NATO under President Barack Obama. Russian President Vladimir Putin is eager to exploit divisions as he struggles to gain ground in Ukraine and faces political challenges at home, including the aftermath of a brief revolt by the Wagner mercenary group. “You don’t want to present any openings,” Lute said. “You don’t want to present any gaps or seams.” By some measures, the war in Ukraine has reinvigorated NATO, which was created at the beginning of the Cold War as a bulwark against Moscow. NATO members have poured military hardware into Ukraine to help with its counteroffensive, and Finland ended a history of nonalignment to become NATO’s 31st member. “I think it’s appropriate to look at all the success,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky told The Associated Press. “So I think the invasion has strengthened NATO — exactly the opposite of what Putin anticipated.” He noted Germany’s shift toward a more robust defense policy as well as increase in military spending in other countries. The latest test of NATO solidarity came Friday with what Biden said was a "difficult decision” to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine. More than two-thirds of alliance members have banned the weapon because it has a track record for causing many civilian casualties. The U.S., Russia and Ukraine are not among the more than 120 countries that have not signed a convention outlawing the use of the bombs. As for Ukraine's possible entry into NATO, the alliance said in 2008 that Kyiv eventually would become a member. Since then, little action has been taken toward that goal. Putin occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014 and then tried to capture the capital in 2022 with his invasion. “A gray zone is a green light for Putin,” said Daniel Fried, a former U.S. ambassador to Poland who is now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called for a unified signal from NATO on Ukraine and for his country to join the alliance. “It would be an important message to say that NATO is not afraid of Russia,” Zelenskyy said through a translator in an ABC interview, when asked whether he would come to Vilnius. “Ukraine should get clear security guarantees while it is not in NATO. And that is a very important point. Only under these conditions our meeting would be meaningful. Otherwise, it’s just another politics.” The U.S. and Germany insist that the focus should be on supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, rather than taking the more provocative step of extending a formal invitation to join NATO. Countries on NATO's Eastern flank — Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland — want firmer assurances on future membership. NATO could decide to elevate its relationship with Ukraine, creating what would be known as the NATO-Ukraine Council and giving Kyiv a seat at the table for consultations. Also in the spotlight in Vilnius will be Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the main obstacle to Sweden’s attempts to join NATO alongside neighbor Finland. Erdogan accuses Sweden of being too lenient on anti-Islamic demonstrations and militant Kurdish groups that have waged a long insurgency in Turkey. Sweden recently changed its anti-terrorism legislation and lifted an arms embargo on Turkey. But a man burned a Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm last week, and Erdogan signaled that this would pose another hurdle. He equated “those who permitted the crime” to those who perpetrated it. Turkey and the U.S. are also at an impasse over the sale of F-16 fighter jets. Erdogan wants the upgraded planes, but Biden says Sweden’s NATO membership has to be dealt with first. McConnell said in the AP interview that he supports the sale of the fighter jets to Turkey “provided that the membership of Sweden is settled.” Underscoring the prominence of Turkey at the upcoming summit, Biden held a lengthy call with Erdogan aboard Air Force One on the way to London. During the conversation, Biden "conveyed his desire to welcome Sweden into NATO as soon as possible," according to the White House. It’s not the first time that Erdogan has sought to use a NATO summit for Turkish gain. In 2009, he held up the nomination of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as secretary-general but agreed to the move after securing some senior posts for Turkish officials at the alliance. Max Bergmann, a former State Department official who leads the Europe Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said there's growing frustration among allies toward Erdogan, building on concerns about his ties to Putin, democratic backsliding and sanctions evasion. “They’ve tried playing nice," Bergmann said. “The question is whether it’s time to get much more confrontational.” Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, is also delaying his country's approval of Sweden’s membership. In response, Idaho Sen. Jim Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is blocking a $735 million U.S. arms sale to Hungary. “We don’t want members who aren’t interested in doing everything possible to strengthen the alliance rather than the pursuit of their own or individual interests,” Risch said. “I’m just sick and tired of it." But he rejected the idea that these disagreements are a sign of weakness within NATO. “These are kinds of things that always arise in an alliance," he said. “The fact that we’ve been able to deal with them and will continue to deal with them proves that this is the most successful and strongest military alliance in the history of the world.” At least one potentially difficult issue is off the summit agenda. Rather than seek consensus on a new NATO leader, members agreed to extend the tenure of Jens Stoltenberg, who's held the job since 2014, for a year. It's his fourth extension. Most members wanted a woman to be the next secretary-general, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had been considered a favorite. But Poland insisted on a candidate from the Baltic states because there had already been two Nordic secretaries general in a row. (Stoltenberg was a Norwegian prime minister and Rasmussen was a Danish prime minister.) Others are skeptical of accepting a nominee from the Baltics, whose leaders tend to be more provocative in their approach to Russia, including supporting Ukraine's desire to rapidly join NATO. More disagreements loom over NATO's updated plans for countering any invasion that Russia might launch on allied territory.	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/nation-world/nato-unity-will-be-tested-at-upcoming-summit/507-86c2bf5b-544d-4beb-8208-aa10842f1656	2023-07-10 04:39:22	1	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/nation-world/nato-unity-will-be-tested-at-upcoming-summit/507-86c2bf5b-544d-4beb-8208-aa10842f1656
