DENVER, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (NYSE MKT: GLV) (the "Fund"), a closed-end fund, paid a monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0597 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2023. The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the current distribution as well as the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund. x PLEASE NOTE: the January 31, 2023 19(a) notice identified "Net Investment Income" as the source of the $.0597 per share dividend distribution to shareholders. This classification should have been identified as "Return of Capital or other Capital Source." The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last business day of the month prior to distribution record date. Fund Performance & Distribution Information Past performance is not indicative of future results. ^ Based on the Fund's NAV as of January 31, 2023. +Cumulative distribution rate is based on distributions paid to date for the period November 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023. *Cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights offering were exercised, for the period November 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023. **The 5 year average annual total return is based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and that all rights in the Fund's rights offering were exercised, as of the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date. While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan. Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund. ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. FINRA Member Firm.

Clouds filled into the Treasure Valley Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Sunshine tries to peak through during the afternoon, followed by cloud cover and scattered showers and storms later in the day. Gusty winds and heavy downpours will accompany the stronger storms. Friday is going to be a shock to the system with highs only topping out in the 40s and 50s with numerous showers and thunderstorms around. The heaviest precipitation will take shape in eastern Oregon where up to an inch of rainfall is possible. As a low pressure system moves through, snow levels begin to fall lowering to around 6000 feet by Saturday morning. Throughout the weekend, temperatures remain on the cooler side and we will be dodging showers. The weather pattern looks to remain unsettled but gradually becoming warmer next week.

STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina utility said Tuesday that an electricity substation was damaged by gunfire but that it caused no power outages. The damage comes after a gunfire attack on multiple substations in Moore County in December that knocked out power to more than 45,000 customers. There have been no arrests in those shootings. EnergyUnited said in a news release that an alarm early Tuesday alerted it to an equipment problem at the substation in Randolph County, north of Charlotte. It said that crews found damage to the substation from an apparent gunshot and that law enforcement was notified. Power equipment in Washington and Nevada also has been vandalized in recent months. “EnergyUnited continually strives to deliver safe, reliable energy to its members,” said Steve McCachern, its vice president of energy delivery. “While we are glad that our members did not experience any service interruptions, we take this matter very seriously and are currently investigating the incident.” EnergyUnited Electric Membership Corporation serves customers in parts of 19 North Carolina counties.

SHENZHEN, China, June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the economy rebounds, novel consumption trends and consumer behaviors are beginning to take shape, prompting major brands to increase their investment to tackle challenges and seize opportunities for future growth. These circumstances set the stage for the 70th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Established in 1954, the Festival has become a global stage where marketing and advertising professionals converge to celebrate creative excellence and inspire business collaborations. This year, Tencent Marketing Solution (hereafter referred to as TMS) is making waves by unveiling its Joint Business Partnership (JBP) with dentsu. Embracing Evolution and Innovation for Future Growth On June 20th, Ethen Zhang, Deputy General Manager of Channel Sales at TMS, and Rob Gilby, APAC CEO of dentsu, jointly stamped a scroll inscribed with the Chinese characters "Lian Meng," symbolizing "Union". The exchange of "Dunhuang" artwork ornaments - symbols of "heritage, innovation, technique, and responsibility" - marked the commencement of this strategic partnership. Ethen Zhang announced at the ceremony, "We aspire to harness dentsu's comprehensive strengths and global network resources, while fully capitalizing on the synergies of both our ecosystems. Together, we aspire to offer our clients more enduring and higher return on investment solutions." At the ceremony, Rob Gilby shared "In today's hyper-competitive and customer-centric world, we need to know the most about customers and harness innovation and resources to continue to manage and meet expectations while also driving growth for business. Today, we are honoured and delighted to be strategically aligned with Tencent, a leader in China to shape the customer experience of the future and cultivate long-standing brand loyalty and trust." Innovation and Collaboration: Adding Value to the Marketplace Building on a strong track record of collaboration, the enhanced JBP will concentrate on four core areas: integrated marketing solution development, copyrighted content cooperation, marketing technology and measurement, and charity and social responsibility. - Integrated Marketing Solutions Development: Over the past three years, marketing has transitioned from a focus on immediate conversion and effectiveness to a greater emphasis on long-term value, acknowledging the crucial role of brand building in business growth. Dentsu will leverage its resources and expertise in creative, media, and customer experience and capitalize on the Tencent (00700.HK) ecosystem to create a platform for sustainable growth for its clients. - Copyrighted Content Cooperation: Tencent's ecosystem incorporates a variety of platforms such as Tencent Video, Tencent Sports, Tencent Games, among others, supported by a robust distribution network. Concurrently, dentsu boasts a rich content portfolio and copyright configuration, including animation, cartoons and eSports. The partners will explore potential collaborations in areas such as copyright cooperation, content introduction and expansion into global markets, as well as joint marketing and operations. - Marketing Technology & Measurement: The influence of branding marketing on businesses and content marketing on brand building remains a pressing issue. By amalgamating Tencent's measurement and data product, RACE, with dentsu's profound insights across a multitude of markets and industries, the alliance will facilitate collaboration in marketing measurement, offering a more comprehensive and scientifically grounded perspective to their clients. - Charity & Social Responsibility: In 2022, dentsu launched their "2030 Sustainable Development" plan, which strongly aligns with Tencent's vision of "Tech for Good". The two companies agreed to employ their respective resources and strengths to foster sustainable development alongside their partners. CEO of dentsu China, Deric Wong, stated, "Consumers demand quality choices in today's digitally-savvy market and dentsu's strategic partnership with Tencent teams us together - leveraging innovations, resources and our leading business positions to help brands predict, plan and move forward for what's next. At dentsu, we think global and act local, to understand each market better. Collaboratively with Tencent's unparalleled Internet value added services in China, we look to create tomorrow's experience, today!" . Tommy Li, President of Amplifi, dentsu China, also expressed, "Dentsu's history of innovation have enabled us as Business Producers to help global brands expand their footprints into Mainland China. Together with Tencent, as a leading investor and innovator for IP in China for its video, gaming platforms and robust network… we look to creating great opportunities through our international network and strategic alliances, to bring our capabilities to China and beyond." Xiaoke Li, Senior Director of the Channel Sales Department at TMS, stating, "Dentsu is a marketing partner with a century-old heritage. We have carried out fruitful cooperation in fields such as creativity and marketing science exploration. And look forward to the upgrade of this partnership to bring more inspiration to the market." Maxxie Qi, dentsu Cooperation Lead of the Channel Sales Department at TMS, remarked, "We eagerly anticipate fully leveraging dentsu's robust capabilities in content, creativity, media, and consumer experience within Tencent's ecosystem. Our aim is to deliver more sustainable and integrated solutions to our global clientele." As we navigate these VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) times, embracing change and daring to innovate requires unyielding belief and tenacity. TMS is committed to ongoing collaboration with the dentsu, welcoming further possibilities for innovation with an open and win-win mindset, and jointly propelling the continuous evolution of the marketing ecosystem.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brittney Griner stood for the national anthem before her first regular-season WNBA game since being jailed in Russia. Griner was outspoken for social justice in 2020 and didn’t take the court during the pregame anthem. But nearly a year behind bars in Russia changed her. “I was literally in a cage and could not stand the way I wanted to,” she said. “Just being able to hear my national anthem and see my flag, I definitely want to stand.” Griner had 18 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots Friday night for the Phoenix Mercury in a 94-71 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. “Not good enough, didn’t get the dub,” said Griner, who nevertheless couldn’t be down in defeat. “I appreciate everything a little bit more, all of the small moments, like, ‘Oh, I’m so tired I don’t want to go to practice today,’ that has changed, honestly,” she said. “Tomorrow is not guaranteed, you don’t know what it’s going to look like. I feel a lot older somehow, too.” The 32-year-old center’s immediate goal is to play an entire game by the All-Star break in mid-July. She played 25 minutes Friday. “I hope to be exactly where I want to be,” Griner said. “Just getting back to how I was before all this happened.” Griner made an immediate impact against the Sparks. She fired a pass to Moriah Jefferson, who hit a 3-pointer for Phoenix’s first basket. Griner grabbed a couple of rebounds and scored twice in helping the Mercury to an early lead. “How good did she just look? Unbelievable,” WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert told reporters at halftime. For the first time since last season, Phoenix coach Vanessa Nygaard opened her pregame comments without announcing how many days Griner had been jailed. Griner has been free since December when she was part of a high-profile prisoner swap. “Until the day we got the news in the morning that she was on her way home, no one thought that it was going to happen,” Nygaard said. “We did our jobs probably with less joy than professional athletes do. It was heavy every day.” Not anymore. “Today is a day of joy,” Nygaard said. “An amazing, amazing thing has happened.” Griner and the Mercury were greeted with a standing ovation when they came on court for pregame warmups, although the biggest cheers were reserved for the Sparks. “Just taking it in but staying focused because at the end of the day I’m at work,” Griner said. “Can’t get caught up in the moment. Kind of feel it, but put it to the side and feel it a little bit later.” Griner hugged Vice President Kamala Harris and first gentleman Doug Emhoff as they left the court after Harris was presented with a No. 49 Sparks jersey. Earlier, Harris posed for photos in the Mercury’s locker room. “It was nice to be able to see her face-to-face and thank her for everything,” Griner said. She patted her heart and applauded in return during a brief video welcoming her back to the WNBA. “It was nice to be back on the court for a real game,” she said. “The love from the fans when we came out was amazing. I definitely feel it.” Griner scored 10 points in 17 minutes in an exhibition loss to the Sparks last week. It was her first game action since she was arrested at a Moscow airport in February 2022 after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. “We brought back this Black, gay woman from a Russian jail and America did that because they valued her and she’s a female athlete and they valued her,” Nygaard said. “Just to be part of a group that values people at that level, it makes me very proud to be an American. Maybe there’s other people that that doesn’t make them proud, but for me, I see BG and I see hope and I see the future and I have young children and it makes me really hopeful about our country,” the coach said. Fans arriving early to Crypto.com Arena wore T-shirts with Griner’s name and jersey number on them. The 6-foot-9 Griner stopped to photo-bomb a group of young girls posing courtside before the game. Billie Jean King and wife Ilana Kloss, who are part-owners of the Sparks, were on hand for the opener, as was Magic Johnson, Pau Gasol, Byron Scott, Robert Horry, Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham and South Carolina women’s coach Dawn Staley. Since her release, Griner has used her platform to advocate for other Americans being detained abroad. She was already an LGBTQ+ activist since publicly coming out in 2013. “She stands for so many people, so many different kind of people who can be undervalued in our society,” Nygaard said. “She stands with pride and confidence and has never once has shied away from who she is.” Griner announced in April that she is working with Bring Our Families Home, a campaign formed last year by the family members of American hostages and wrongful detainees held overseas. She said her team has been in contact with the family of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is being detained in Russia on espionage charges. “She’s an amazing person on and off the court,” Phoenix teammate Jefferson said. “I think her energy just inspires everybody every single day to show up and be the best version of themselves.” ___ AP Sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s elections Sunday will be a battle between two leftist and two rightist parties that are teaming up to form potential coalitions. Here is a glance at the four leaders of those parties. Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s prime minister since 2018, is facing reelection with recent ballots and most of polls against him. The Socialist party leader has steered Spain through the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to a successful vaccination program and dealt with an inflation-driven economic downturn made worse by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But his dependency on fringe parties, including separatist forces from Catalonia and the Basque Country, to keep his minority coalition going and his passing of a slew of liberal-minded laws, may cost him his job. Sánchez, known for his dashing looks and his progressive credentials that include having more women than men in his Cabinet and a strong environmental policy record, has boosted Spain’s status in Brussels. The 51-year-old is also fluent in English, a skill his predecessors lacked. But the snap election called after the Socialists and their far-left coalition partners took a beating in local and regional elections in May may be an all-or-nothing gamble. Sánchez has embarked on a flurry of interviews in Spanish media and held rallies across Spain, hoping that he can pull off yet another surprise and stay in office. His chances will depend on mobilizing a demoralized left. A former basketball player and economics professor, Sánchez and his wife have two daughters. Tipped to lead his right-wing Popular Party to victory, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has had a meteoric rise in popularity since he took charge of the party in April, 2022 following an internal feud that toppled his predecessor, Pablo Casado. A former civil servant who won four consecutive regional elections in his native northwest Galicia — a traditional stronghold for the Popular Party — Feijóo was initially portrayed as a moderate. But with elections suddenly called and the far-right Vox party making inroads, he has moved notably to the right, promising to repeal many of the leftist government’s laws and being more aggressive in his campaign to unseat Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Feijóo, 62, has been accused of fudging on whether he will form a coalition with Vox, lying about the Popular Party’s record on pensions, and trying to play down ties to a Spanish drug trafficker with whom he was photographed sunbathing on a yacht some years ago. Bespectacled and with the look of a bank manager, Feijóo is heir to the late Manuel Fraga, a fellow Galician and one-time top politician in the former Franco dictatorship. Fraga founded Alianza Popular, the Popular Party’s predecessor. Experts speak of Feijóo’s affable manner, sense of humor and talents as an organizer. But others say he demonstrated an irritated and somewhat superior attitude when cornered by one of Spanish television’s top journalists, Silvia Intxaurrondo. Feijóo has also served as director of the state health service and national postal company. He and his partner have one child. Santiago Abascal, the 47-year-old leader of the far-right Vox party, likes to style himself as an outsider who has arrived on a mission to save Spain’s soul. He was a lifelong member of the Spain’s mainstream Popular Party until he broke with the conservatives for what he considered their “cowardly” handling of the separatist movements in Catalonia and his native Basque Country. It was the failed secession bid by Catalonia in 2017 that fueled Vox’s rise. Founded in 2014, it entered Spain’s Parliament in 2019 when tensions in the streets of Barcelona and across Catalonia were still common. Bearded and barrel-chested, Abascal always wears suits while attending Parliament. He embraces the classic, even the kitsch, symbols of traditional Spanish culture. While the country slowly turns away from bullfighting, he and Vox defend it. While most parties hail Spain’s transition to democracy from the dictatorship of Francisco Franco in the late 1970s, Abascal defends the nationalistic values of the regime. While the rest of Spain’s political parties unite against gender violence, Abascal’s Vox wants to repeal gender violence laws and slams feminism. Critics also accuse him of fearmongering about unauthorized migration. Add some mild anti-European Union sentiment, and Vox is allied with other far-right movements on the rise in Europe. Abascal is now on the cusp of what would be his greatest victory: becoming a deputy prime minister of Spain and placing some of his other hardline cohorts in ministerial roles. To do so, Vox will likely need to remain the third-largest force in Spain’s Parliament and hope that the Popular Party wins the elections but falls short of an absolute majority. Abascal, who holds a degree in sociology, is married for a second time. He has four children, from both his first and second marriages. The only woman among the main four candidates in Sunday’s election, Yolanda Díaz, 52, is the daughter of working-class, trade union and anti-Franco dictatorship activists. She hails from the small northwestern Galician town of Fene. Cutting a dashing figure with her mane of dyed blond hair and stylish clothes, she has been labor minister since 2020 and in 2021 became second deputy prime minister to premier Pedro Sánchez. A labor lawyer by training, she is known for her ability to broker agreements such as the industrial peace deal she forged with unions and business groups, as well negotiating increases in the minimum wage and a special furlough scheme for companies during the coronavirus pandemic. She is consistently ranked among the country’s most popular politicians. Believing that her Unidas Podemos far-left group — the Socialists’ partner in the governing coalition — had alienated many supporters, she formed a broad civilian movement called Sumar this year that has since managed to bring 15 small leftist parties, including Podemos, under its umbrella. She showed she has a tough side by refusing to include her colleague and friend, Equality Minister Irene Montero, whose reputation was severely marred by a sexual consent law that inadvertently allowed more than 1,000 convicted sex offenders to have their sentences reduced, and over 100 to gain early release. Díaz’s aim is to finish in third place Sunday so that Sumar can help the Socialists form another leftist coalition. Polls place Sumar slightly behind far-right Vox. Sumar proposes more tax for big businesses and the wealthy, a state-funded 20,000-euro payment (about $22,000) for everyone turning 18 to help with studies, and measures to help hard-pressed people get to the end of the month. Díaz is married with one child. ___ Joseph Wilson and David Brunat contributed from Barcelona, Spain.

MEXICO CITY — The Mexican national newspaper La Jornada said Saturday that its staff reporter in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit has been found dead. The body of journalist Luis Martín Sánchez Iñiguez was found on the outskirts of the state capital, Tepic, La Jornada reported. Sánchez Iñiguez, 59, had been missing since Wednesday and an appeal had been made to find him, the Nayarit state prosecutors' office said. The journalist's wife reported him missing, along with a computer and his cellphone. The office said later Saturday that relatives had identified Sánchez Iñiguez's body, and said he had been dead for one or two days before the corpse was found. "The body was found with signs of violence, and two handwritten signs were found on it," prosecutors said in a statement, but did not reveal what the messages said. Handwritten signs are frequently left by drug cartels with the bodies of victims, but the office said the motive in the killing was still under investigation. Sánchez Iñiguez was last seen in Xalisco, a Nayarit town that has long been linked to the smuggling of heroin and opium. He would be at least the second journalist killed in Mexico this year. In February, news photographer José Ramiro Araujo was stabbed and beaten to death in the northern Mexico border state of Baja California. The year 2022 was among the deadliest ever for Mexican media workers, with 15 killed. Just two days after Sánchez Iñiguez disappeared, another journalist was abducted in the same area. Jonathan Lora Ramírez was abducted on Friday by "armed, masked men who arrived at his home in Xalisco, forced open the door and took him away," state prosecutors said. Lora Ramírez was found alive and in good condition Saturday, prosecutors said. The prosecutors' office said a third media worker, identified as Osiris Maldonado, has been missing since July 3. Maldonado apparently worked in graphic design at La Jornada. Prosecutors said they were investigating the possibility the abductions and killing were related to the journalists' profession. The Committee to Protect Journalists said it "strongly condemns the killing of journalist Luis Martín Sánchez Iñíguez, correspondent of newspaper La Jornada, in the state of Nayarit, and calls on Mexican authorities to immediately and credibly investigate."

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (WFLA) — A truck was destroyed by a fire Saturday night after discarded fireworks re-ignited, according to the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District. The fireworks re-ignited from a nearby garbage can, officials said. While there was water in the can, it wasn’t high enough to cover all of the fireworks, according to officials. “Even after they’ve exploded, fireworks are still dangerous until they cool down,” officials said. People disposing of fireworks should place disposed fireworks in a metal container filled with enough water to cover all fireworks inside, and the can should be placed away from any homes or vehicles. Watch the container until the fireworks are cool.

HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) — As law enforcement officials went silent Tuesday while piecing together what led to the killing of seven people in rural Oklahoma, family members of those slain recalled the controlling nature of one of the dead, who was a registered sex offender. Since the bodies were found early Monday, authorities have released scant information on who was killed, how they died and who killed them. But two relatives said all the victims were shot to death. Janette Mayo, whose daughter and three teenage grandchildren were among the dead, said the controlling behavior of her son-in-law, Jesse McFadden, was concerning, but that the family didn’t learn about his criminal history until a few months ago. “He lied to my daughter, and he convinced her it was all just a huge mistake,” Mayo, of Westville, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “He was very standoffish, generally very quiet, but he kept my daughter and the kids basically under lock and key. He had to know where they were at all times, which sent red flags up.” Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said the bodies were found on the property where McFadden lived near Henryetta, a town of about 6,000 about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City. Rice said the bodies included two missing teens, Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 16, along with McFadden. Rice said the state medical examiner would have to confirm the victims’ identities. Mayo said the sheriff’s office notified her late Monday that the other four victims were her daughter, Holly Guess, 35, and her grandchildren, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17; Michael James Mayo, 15; and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13. Mayo said Tiffany was close friends with Ivy and Brittany, who were spending the weekend with the family. While Rice declined to provide details of how they died, Mayo, 59, said the sheriff’s office told her that her daughter and grandchildren died from gunshot wounds. Ivy’s father filed a missing person report with the local sheriff’s office when she didn’t return home Sunday night after spending the weekend with McFadden, Guess and her children. Justin Webster said he thought the children went with McFadden to spend some time on a ranch where he was working near McAlester. He said law enforcement officials also told him that all of the victims suffered gunshot wounds, that some had been lined up and were located across the property. Webster echoed descriptions of McFadden as controlling and unusual, but said he had no idea about McFadden’s criminal background. “I would say he was weird,” Webster said. “He was always getting into his kids’ phones and reading all their snap messages and all that. It wasn’t in a way of a concerned parent. It was more of keeping tabs on the kids.” The missing endangered person advisory issued early Monday said Webster and Brewer had been seen traveling with McFadden, who was on the state’s sex offender registry. Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison records show he was convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and released in October 2020. McFadden had been scheduled to appear in court Monday for the start of a jury trial on charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor and possession of child pornography. Court records show he was communicating with a then-16-year-old girl using a contraband cellphone while he was incarcerated at a state prison near Muskogee. The teen’s grandfather reported their communications to prison officials, according to an affidavit from a Department of Corrections investigator. Justin Webster hopes this whole ordeal leads to harsher criminal penalties for sex offenders, especially those who target children. “The sexual (offender) registry doesn’t work,” he said. “I think there needs to be action taken. There needs to be repercussions, and someone needs to be held accountable. They let a monster out. They did this.” McFadden’s attorney in that case has not responded to a phone message left Monday evening. The grim discovery in Oklahoma keeps the U.S. on a torrid pace for mass killings in 2023 and could push the number of people slain in mass killings past 100 for the year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in a partnership with Northeastern University. In speaking to reporters Monday, Rice acknowledged another gruesome homicide case last fall in in Oklmulgee County. The bodies of four men were found Oct. 14 in the Deep Fork River in Okmulgee, a small town about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of Henryetta. Joseph Kennedy, 68, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder. “We’ve had our share of troubles and woes, but this one is pretty bad,” the sheriff said. Brittany Brewer’s father told KOTV in Tulsa that one of the bodies discovered was his daughter. “Brittany was an outgoing person. She was actually selected to be Miss Henryetta … coming up in July for this Miss National Miss pageant in Tulsa. And now she ain’t gonna make it because she’s dead. She’s gone,” Nathan Brewer said. At a Monday night vigil, Brewer told hundreds of people: “It’s just a parent’s worst nightmare, and I’m living it.” He said his daughter had aspired to be a teacher or a veterinarian. “I am just lost,” he said. Ivy Webster’s mother, Ashleigh, described her daughter as a great kid who loved animals. “She loved softball. She loved people, animals. She was just a genuine good person. She really was,” Ashleigh Webster said. Mayo described her daughter, Holly Guess, as a doting parent. “She was a fantastic mother. She loved her children beyond belief. She was overprotective,” Mayo said. “She was supportive if they wanted to do something. She’d go out 100%.” Granddaughter Rylee Allen “had a talent with a paint brush,” she said. “Rylee wanted to be an artist and wanted to be a doctor so she could help people.” Michael Mayo ran track and cross-country, and when he wanted to play football, his mother went out and bought the family T-shirts and sweatshirts to support the team, Mayo said. Tiffany Guess also ran cross-country, she performed in the choir and had just tried out for the cheerleading squad. “She was the sweetest, most loving girl you’d ever met,” Mayo said. “We called her ‘Tiffasaurus’ because when she’d get mad at you, she’d growl.” Henryetta Public Schools said the community is grieving the loss of several students. “Our hearts are hurting, and we have considered what would be best for our students in the coming days,” the district said in a message posted online. ___ Associated Press data journalist Larry Fenn and researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate fell below 5% for the first time in four months, days after the Federal Reserve jacked up its main borrowing rate in an aggressive effort to get inflation under control. The 30-year rate tumbled to 4.99% from 5.3% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday. A year ago, the rate was 2.77%. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, fell to 4.26% to from 4.58% last week. “Mortgage rates remained volatile due to the tug of war between inflationary pressures and a clear slowdown in economic growth,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “The high uncertainty surrounding inflation and other factors will likely cause rates to remain variable, especially as the Federal Reserve attempts to navigate the current economic environment.” Last week, the Fed ratcheted up its main borrowing rate by three-quarters of a point, the second such increase in less than two months. The central bank also raised its benchmark rate by a half-point in May, beginning its aggressive pivot to try to stifle four-decade high inflation. Consumer prices have soared 9.1% over the past year, the biggest yearly increase since 1981. The Labor Department’s producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose by 11.3% in June compared with a year earlier. Rapidly hiking rates risks pushing the U.S. economy into a recession, but it’s the Fed’s most powerful tool to get price increases back to its 2% annual target. The government reported last week that U.S. economy shrank from April through June for a second straight quarter, contracting at a 0.9% annual pace and raising fears that the nation may be approaching a recession. The decline that the Commerce Department reported in the gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of the economy — followed a 1.6% annual drop from January through March. Consecutive quarters of falling GDP constitute one informal, though not definitive, indicator of a recession. Higher borrowing rates have discouraged house hunters and cooled a housing market that's been hot for years. The National Association of Realtors reported last month that sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed for the fifth consecutive month in June. Home prices have kept climbing — albeit at a slower pace than earlier this year —- even as sales slowed. The national median home price jumped 13.4% in June from a year earlier to $416,000. That’s an all-time high according to data going back to 1999, NAR said. Layoffs in the housing and lending sectors have already begun. Among those reporting job cuts in recent months are the online mortgage company loanDepot, online real estate broker Redfin, and Compass. The nation’s largest bank by assets, JPMorgan Chase, laid off hundreds from its mortgage unit and reassigned hundreds of others.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Abortion clinics in Louisiana can continue operating while a lawsuit challenging the state’s near total ban on abortions is resolved, a state judge ruled Thursday. The preliminary injunction issued by state district judge Donald Johnson in Baton Rouge is the latest development amid a flurry of court challenges to state “trigger” laws that were crafted in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established abortion rights, which it did June 24. For weeks, access to abortion has been flickering in Louisiana where there are three clinics. A statewide abortion ban has taken effect twice and been blocked twice since the Supreme Court’s ruling in June. Johnson had entered a temporary hold on enforcement July 11, pending arguments in the case that were heard Monday. Johnson’s new ruling allows clinics to continue providing abortion procedures while a lawsuit filed by a north Louisiana abortion clinic and others continues. The order gives attorneys on both sides 30 days to develop plans for a trial on whether the law should be permanently blocked. The state could appeal his order, however, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry has said he expects the case to wind up at the state Supreme Court. Johnson did not immediately release reasons for the decision but said they would be forthcoming. Landry did not issue an immediate comment but was expected to address the issue at a Thursday morning meeting. The lead plaintiff in the case is a north Louisiana clinic that has continued abortion care in Shreveport under Johnson’s temporary order. Clinics in Baton Rouge and New Orleans had stopped operations pending Johnson’s decision on the injunction. A spokeswoman for those clinics said both were open Thursday, scheduling patients for counseling and abortions. “With this decision, Chief Judge Johnson determined that we are likely to succeed on the merits of our lawsuit,” Joanna Wright, an attorney for the clinic, said in an email. “We are prepared to prove our case and hope to obtain a final ruling that the trigger bans are unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.” The plaintiffs in the lawsuit don’t deny that the state can now ban abortion as a result of the Supreme Court ruling. Instead, they contend that Louisiana now has multiple, conflicting trigger mechanisms in the law. They also argue that state law is unclear on whether it bans an abortion prior to a fertilized egg implanting in the uterus. And while the law provides an exception for “medically futile” pregnancies in cases of fetuses with fatal abnormalities, the plaintiffs noted it gives no definition of the term and that state health officials have not yet provided a list of conditions that would qualify as medically futile. In Louisiana, there is little question that an abortion ban will eventually be in effect in the state where the Legislature has long been dominated by abortion opponents. But the court case has resulted in more time for the state’s three abortion clinics — in Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans — to stay open. ___ Associated Press writer Kevin McGill in New Orleans contributed to this report.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces killed a 17-year-old Palestinian in the occupied West Bank Thursday, Palestinian officials said, as troops operated in the area a day after an attack killed a military officer. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Odai Salah, 17, was shot in the head, although the exact circumstances behind his death were not immediately clear. The Israeli military said forces were operating in the hometown of two Palestinian gunmen who killed the Israeli officer in a shootout on Wednesday and were then shot and killed by Israeli soldiers. Troops were preparing the gunmen’s homes for demolition and making arrests in the village of Kufr Dan, near the city of Jenin, a bastion or armed struggle against Israel. Israel says it demolishes the homes of attackers as a way to deter future violence, while critics say the tactic amounts to collective punishment. Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people. Israeli fire has killed dozens of Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2016. The Israeli military says the vast majority of those killed were militants or stone-throwers who endangered the soldiers. But several civilians have also been killed during Israel’s monthslong operation, including a veteran journalist and a lawyer who apparently drove unwittingly into a battle zone. Local youths who took to the streets in response to the invasion of their neighborhoods have also been killed. Israel has rounded up scores of Palestinians, holding many without trial or charge in what’s known as administrative detention. Israel says it uses administrative detention to thwart attacks and to hold dangerous militants without revealing sensitive intelligence. Palestinians and rights groups say the system denies due process, with some detainees held for months or years without seeing the evidence against them. Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks and prevent future attacks. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state. Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

For Wausau Pilot & Review WAUSAU – Despite trailing early, the Wausau Woodchucks baseball team was able to make it happen again Friday night at Athletic Park, taking down rival Madison 5-2 in Northwoods League action. Madison (5-7) scored the first two runs of the game in the second inning off two different RBI singles to take before Wausau would answer with one in the second off an RBI single by Dalton Pearson (Georgia State), scoring Mike Adair (Dayton). From there it was all Wausau (8-4), as it scored two in the fifth and two in the sixth. Despite this, Madison threatened with bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, but would not see a runner come across. The first out being on fielder’s choice, and then pitcher Christian Clack (Alabama-Birmingham) came into the game and struck out two, keeping Madison scoreless. Adair went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI, the biggest coming off a two-RBI single in the sixth. Clack went 2 2/3 innings with five strikeouts while only allowing one hit in relief for the Woodchucks. The Woodchucks head to Wisconsin Rapids for the first of another two with the Rafters. First pitch Saturday will be at 6:35 p.m.

Southern Miss baseball beats Penn to win NCAA Tournament's Auburn Regional AUBURN, Ala. — Dustin Dickerson stood for a beat and watched the ball fly before he sauntered around the bases. He slapped Scott Berry's hand as he rounded third, celebrating a three-run homer that helped secure at least another week on the job for the retiring Southern Miss baseball coach. Dickerson's sixth-inning home run was the critical blow in an 11-7 victory for the No. 2 Golden Eagles over No. 4 Penn in the Auburn Regional's decisive game Monday at Plainsman Park. With its victory, USM (45-18) advances to the NCAA Tournament's super-regional round for the second year in a row, where it will take on Tennessee (41-19). The location and schedule for that best-of-three series has yet to be announced. While Dickerson's homer gave the Golden Eagles the lead for good, it did not put an end to the drama. A hit-by-pitch, two hits and an error got Penn (34-16) back within one run in the next half inning before Southern Miss called on Will Armistead out of the bullpen. He struck out two batters to strand runners on second and third and preserve the lead. Armistead did not allow a run the rest of the way, and USM added three big insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to ease the pressure. The fourth straight do-or-die victory marked the first time in program history that the Golden Eagles have won a regional after losing the opener. FULL UPDATES:Southern Miss baseball score vs. Penn: Live updates from Auburn Regional's deciding game BEHIND THE SCENES WITH BERRY:A legend's victory lap: What Scott Berry's legacy looks like inside Southern Miss baseball DICKERSON:How Dustin Dickerson made good on a prediction and helped Southern Miss baseball beat Auburn Golden Eagles erase early deficit Southern Miss encountered its largest deficit of the postseason when Penn exploded for a three-run top of the fourth inning that gave the Quakers an early 5-1 lead. In response, the Golden Eagles hopped aboard the merry-go-round. The first seven batters in the Southern Miss half of the fourth singled, walked or got hit by a pitch. The Golden Eagles had the game tied at 5-5 before Penn recorded its first out of the inning. But Southern Miss couldn't turn a big inning into a huge inning. Slade Wilks popped out to second base and Christopher Sargent grounded into a double play, forcing USM to settle for parity and do more work later. Southern Miss hands the ball back to its starters As it did in last season's regional, the Southern Miss coaching staff gave the ball to ace Tanner Hall to start the decider. Hall, who threw 123 pitches Friday in USM's regional opener, allowed two unearned runs in two innings of work. After the Quakers touched up rarely used USM bullpen arm Luke Trahan for three runs in an inning, Golden Eagles pitching coach Christian Ostrander handed the ball to Billy Oldham, who started Saturday and threw 81 pitches. Oldham pitched brilliantly, holding the Quakers scoreless in three frames of work, allowing just two hits. David Eckert covers sports for the Clarion Ledger.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Mexico’s capital Sunday in a show of support for President Manuel López Obrador, who before assuming the presidency had led some of the country’s biggest protests. The “people’s march” marked four years in office for the leftist leader and was a response to a large opposition march two weeks ago to protest López Obrador’s proposal to reform the country’s electoral authority. The president himself led Sunday’s march through central Mexico City, which was accompanied by mariachi music, singing and a festive atmosphere. Many participants had been bused in from provinces across Mexico in trips organized by the ruling Morena party, unions and social groups. “Effective suffrage, effective democracy, and no to re-election,” he said in a speech after the march in which he repeated his slogans of favoring the poor and fighting the oligarchy. The opposition insisted that many participants were forced to join the march, but López Obrador said he had not put “a penny” of the federal budget into the march. Demonstrators questioned said they had come voluntarily. But in many cases the transportation was provided by local governments or politicians who wanted to be well thought of inside the ruling party. Gaby Contreras, a former Morena mayor, brought a group from Teoloyucan, north of the capital, and was the only one of her group authorized to speak. “We are here to support the president.” Pedro Sánchez, a bricklayer who came with his wife from the Tehuantepec isthmus in southern Mexico, said his municipality organized everything. Hundreds of buses that had brought participants lined nearby streets. “I come from Sonora by plane and I paid for my ticket,” said lawyer and López Obrador supporter América Verdugo. Nelly Muñoz, an administrator from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said “it’s called ‘organization’ and and believe it or not, it’s what we’ve been doing since 2006.” That date was a reference to the year López Obrador came within 0.56% of the vote of winning the presidency and denounced his loss as fraudulent. Many supported him, launching a mass protest movement. López Obrador was elected to the presidency 12 years later and his Morena party won four of six races for governor in last year’s midterm elections, giving the ruling party control of 22 of Mexico’s 32 states, an important advantage heading into the 2024 presidential elections. But the government has been criticized for its increased use of the military, laws whose constitutionality has been questioned in the courts, and its support for controversial mega-projects, Some people who support the president are now are his critics. Clara Jusidman, founder of INCIDE Social, an NGO specialized in democracy, development and human rights, said that what is important isn’t the number of participants in the march, but “why they participated.” She said many Mexicans feel compelled to participate because they receive money transfers from the government, which is its main way of supporting those in need. Others want to be in the good graces of the party ahead of the 2024 local, state and presidential elections. The leading contenders to replace López Obrador as Morena’s presidential candidate in 2024 appeared in the march. But there was no shortage of fans of Mexico’s president, who maintains a high approval rating. Alberto Cervantes, who traveled from Los Angeles to join the march, had the president’s face and “AMLO 4T” tattooed on his arm. AMLO is the popular acronym for López Obrador’s name, and 4T refers to the “4th Transformation,” which López Obrador says he is carrying out in Mexico. Lorena Vaca, who waved a flag of the LGBTQ community, said she came to ask for more attention for women and transgenders. “There are things we don’t agree with… but that doesn’t mean we don’t support the Fourth Transformation process,” said Aurora Pedroche, a member of a critical sector within Morena who questions the party’s leadership but supports the president. Mexico’s opposition had called a massive march because they feared López Obrador planned to use his proposed reforms to compromise the electoral institute’s independence and make it more beholden to his party. López Obrador repeatedly criticized the march and days later said he would call his own march. “You can’t make a change overnight and Andrés Manuel is not infallible,” Pedroche said. “But we have worked hard and what we don’t want is for this to be reversed.” ___ AP journalist Mark Stevenson contribution to this report.

Family alleges 93-year-old woman poisoned at San Mateo assisted living facility SAN MATEO, Calif. - The family of a 93-year-old woman who was poisoned and died at an assisted living facility in San Mateo filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging elder abuse and wrongful death. Trudy Maxwell was one of two residents who died in this incident. Maxwell's daughter, Monica, said the purpose of the lawsuit is to shed light on her mother's case. She hopes to prevent this from happening to anyone else. "She was a strong woman having had 9 children, the matriarch of the family," Maxwell said as she described her beloved mother as a well-respected member of the community. She said her mom was resilient, bouncing back when she fell and suffered bruises. "She would heal from this stuff," Monica Maxell said. "We called her Wolverine because she'd heal herself all the time. That was the nickname we had for my mom." But there is now anger and sadness at the way Maxwell died Aug. 29. The lawsuit comes two days after an employee at Atria, an assisted senior living facility in San Mateo gave her and two other residents a commercial grade cleaning fluid to drink during breakfast. "The time we had with her was really, really precious. Losing her like this and so suddenly was just devastating," said Maxwell. The Maxwell family shared these photos which showed the severe damage they said the detergent did to Maxwell's mouth and throat. "They gave her something that was more toxic and more corrosive to her body than Drano would have been," said Niall McCarthy, the family's attorney. He said an employee poured the cleaning fluid into a smaller container and left it in the kitchen. Another worker poured the liquid into cups for residents to drink, the suit alleges. "Their job was to keep her safe and they snuffed out a life," said McCarthy. KTVU reached out to Atria but have not received a response. In addition to Maxwell, another resident, a 93-year-old man also died after drinking the cleaning fluid. A third resident survived. The lawsuit said four days before the incident in San Mateo, a resident at Atria in Walnut Creek drank an unknown liquid left unattended in the kitchen. He became ill and died nine days later. Maxwell said the lawsuit is to get Atria to make changes, including how they train and staff, to prevent this from happening again. "This should have never happened to my mother or to anyone, so yes, I'm very angry, but I'm trying to put my anger into action," said Maxwell. McCarthy said the case will likely go to a jury trial in about a year and a half. KTVU checked in with the San Mateo County District Attorney regarding criminal charges, who said the matter is under investigation and he'll have a decision in a month or two.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Relatives of a late Black businessman who helped popularize Juneteenth in San Diego are suing a cemetery after his remains were reported missing from the family’s burial plot. Greenwood Memorial Park and Mortuary informed the family that Sidney Cooper’s body and casket were not in the plot where he was supposed to have been buried more than two decades ago. Cemetery staff discovered it was empty as they prepared to bury Cooper’s wife, Thelma, who died in March. Staff said they did not know the whereabouts of Cooper’s remains, their daughter, Lana Cooper-Jones, told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I was absolutely distraught,” Cooper-Jones said Friday of the moment she learned her father’s body was missing. “It was like losing my father again, as well as my mom.” Greenwood said it was working to rectify the problem. “While the placement of this family’s loved one occurred over 20 years ago under previous ownership and management, we recently discovered an issue with placement and are diligently working to confirm the placement of the loved one,” the cemetery said in a statement. “Our hope is to reunite the loved ones as intended as soon as possible.” The lawsuit filed Friday seeks to force the cemetery to find the patriarch’s remains and compensate the children for damages. The court filing was aimed to coincide with Saturday’s Cooper Family Foundation Juneteenth Freedom Festival at San Diego’s Memorial Park. Cooper, who was 71 when he died in 2001, promoted Juneteenth for decades in his unofficial and affectionate role as “Mayor of Imperial Avenue,” near where ran businesses including a barbershop and a produce store. The family’s Juneteenth celebrations grew from small events in the parking lot of Cooper’s store to larger gatherings at a city park. After his death, the family created the foundation to carry on his legacy and celebrate the Juneteenth festival. The June 19 holiday marks the day in 1865 when word that of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached the final slave holdout of Galveston, Texas, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the order freeing enslaved Black people. Cooper-Jones told the Union Tribune that when her father died, they held a graveside service, but they didn’t witness his casket being lowered into the ground. Cemetery officials have said they might have an idea where his casket was buried, according to the family’s attorneys, Eric Dubin and Annee Della Donna.

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. (AP) — Michael Barrows wore his Grateful Dead T-shirt and Jerry Garcia face mask for opening day of recreational marijuana sales in New Jersey on Thursday, one of dozens of people who lined up before dawn to join the celebratory scene. “It’s pretty amazing, exciting, and if I get pulled over on the way home and I’m ever asked if I have any drugs in the car, now I’m allowed to say only this,” Barrows said, holding up the canister of marijuana flower he had just purchased. Possession of cannabis is legal now in New Jersey, though driving under the influence is still prohibited. Barrows, 60, joined a steady stream of other novelty seekers, longtime marijuana users and medical patients at RISE in Bloomfield, near the state’s biggest city, Newark, and not far from New York City. With soul music blaring, free doughnuts in the parking lot and a balloon arch at the entrance, New Jersey’s cannabis kickoff for people 21 and older had the feel of a fair more than a store opening. Hagan Seeley, 23, said he had just found out a day earlier that recreational sales were starting and decided to see what the scene looked like. He was impressed with the venue, decorated with an old train station-style tote board and long wooden tables featuring products under glass globes. “It feels right. It feels safe. It feels like everything you’d want it to be rather than anything you could get anywhere else,” Seeley said. The start of the recreational market comes a week after Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy announced that state regulators had cleared the way for recreational sales at seven “alternative treatment centers” that had already offered medical cannabis. The seven centers operate 13 facilities across the state. New Jersey is among 18 states, plus the District of Columbia, with legalized recreational marijuana markets. Thirty-seven states, including New Jersey, have legalized medical marijuana. New Jersey is first among its closest neighbors to begin recreational sales. New York is moving forward with a recreational market but sales are not expected to start until the end of the year, state officials have said. Neighboring Pennsylvania has medical cannabis but not recreational. Some cities, including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, passed ordinances to decriminalize marijuana or make it a low law enforcement priority. Legislation to permit recreational marijuana in Delaware was defeated in March. Ben Kovler, chairman and CEO of Green Thumb Industries, which operates the Bloomfield dispensary, was at the opening Thursday. He said he expects demand to grow since news of the start of sales had only been known by the public for a week. “It’s a moment in time in American history where prohibition 2.0 is lifted,” he said in an interview before the opening. To get regulatory approval, the facilities told regulators they would not interrupt access for medical marijuana patients. Ziad Ghanem, the president and chief operating officer of TerrAscend, which operates centers in Maplewood and Philipsburg, said to accommodate patients, the centers would have a “narrower menu” to start for recreational users. The centers also are required to meet social equity standards, such as providing technical knowledge to new marijuana businesses, especially social equity applicants — those located in economically struggling parts of the state or people who have had cannabis-related offenses. New Jersey’s tax revenues are expected to climb, but it’s not clear by how much. Murphy’s fiscal year 2023 budget is pending before the Democrat-led Legislature and estimates revenues of just $19 million in a nearly $49 billion budget. In 2019, as legalization of recreational marijuana was still just pending before voters, he had estimated about $60 million in revenue. Legislation governing the recreational market calls for the 6.625% sales tax to apply, with 70% of the proceeds going to areas disproportionately affected by marijuana-related arrests. Black residents were likelier — up to three times as much — to face marijuana charges than white residents. Towns can also levy a tax of up to 2%. In a memo to law enforcement officers across the state, acting Attorney General Matt Platkin reminded police that unregulated marijuana continues to be an illegal substance. State regulators say dispensaries are allowed to sell up to the equivalent of 1 ounce of cannabis, which means an ounce of dried flower, or 5 grams of concentrate or 1,000 milligrams of edibles, like gummies. Perishable items like cookies and brownies are not available.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Tears flowed amid heartfelt embraces as Mexican families were allowed brief reunions at the border Saturday with relatives who migrated to the United States. As a mariachi band played the popular song “Las Mañanitas,” about 150 families passed over the Rio Grande to meet with loved ones they had not seen for years. Margarita Piña could not hide her emotion as she waited to greet her son, whom she hadn't seen since he left home two years ago in the middle of the pandemic to seek a better future in the U.S. “It’s very hard because we don’t know what they’re suffering over there,” Piña said. Knowing their meeting would be limited to only five minutes, Piña said she would take advantage of the limited time to tell him “that we still love you very much.” It was the 10th edition of the “Hugs, not walls” event, which was organized by humanitarian groups near the Casa de Adobe Museum in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, which sprawls across the border from El Paso, Texas. Unlike at earlier reunions, a strong guard of U.S. officers was present at the event, which came just days before Washington will lift Title 42 asylum rules imposed for the pandemic that allowed the U.S. to expel more than 2.8 million migrants since March 2020. The end to the provision Thursday is expected to encourage a surge of migrants toward the border, and U.S. authorities have beefed up security, including stringing barbed wire fencing. The government has said 1,500 troops will be sent to El Paso, in addition to 2,500 National Guardsmen already at the border. “We have never had a border as militarized as today,” said Fernando García, head of the Network in Defense of the Rights of Migrants. “There is a war against migrants, refugees, against us border crossers,” he added.

A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others by driving an SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year wants to represent himself in a trial that is scheduled to begin in a little more than a week. Darrell Brooks Jr.’s public defender, Jeremy Perri, filed a motion in Waukesha County Circuit Court on Thursday requesting that he and assistant public defender Anna Kees be taken off the case because Brooks wants to represent himself. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Tuesday. It’s not clear what impact the motion, if granted by Judge Jennifer Dorow, might have on the Oct. 3 start date for Brooks’ trial on six homicide counts and about 70 other charges. Four weeks were set aside for the trial. The motion is the latest development in a case that has seen some twists and turns. Brooks changed his not guilty plea in June to not guilty by reason of mental disease and defect, but two weeks ago withdrew the insanity defense. When questioned by Dorrow, Brooks offered little explanation, saying, “I have my own reasons why.” He confirmed he discussed the change with his attorneys. According to a criminal complaint, Brooks drove his SUV into the parade in Waukesha on Nov. 21. Witnesses said he was swerving and appeared to be intentionally trying to hit people. He was arrested minutes later as he stood on the porch of a nearby house asking the homeowner to help him call a ride. Police said he had fled the scene of a domestic disturbance when he turned into the parade, although officers were not pursuing him at the time. Last month, Dorow refused a defense motion to have the case against Brooks dismissed because of a July search of the defendant’s jail cell. Investigators and prosecutors were looking for information related to Brooks’ recent decision to change his plea. At one point during the motions hearing, Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper asked the judge to note that Brooks appeared to have been sleeping during the proceeding. Dorow ordered a break and when the parties returned to the courtroom, Brooks lashed out and yelled at the judge before he was surrounded by three deputies and taken from the courtroom.

The SEC’s 2024 football schedule was released Wednesday night, and there some games you’re going to want circle on the calendar. Sixteen teams. Eight conference games. No more divisions. “I think this is one of the most exciting, meaningful, seminal moments in the history of the Southeastern Conference,” Paul Finebaum said during the SEC Network’s coverage of the schedule release. ... “I just remember two weeks ago, it feels like a year, we were in Destin and listening to all the critics and all the cynics say, ‘the SEC blew it. They didn’t do the right thing by going to nine.’ I want to see nine. I think most people do. But they did an amazing job. I think they shut everyone up.” The opponents were determined using this formula: - As reported, existing conference school will play either Oklahoma or Texas. - No school will travel to a location it went to in 2023. - The conference opponents were determined by two factors: traditional opponents and balance of schedule strength. The look at the schedule went back 10 years. Here’s the who and the where. We’ll have to wait on the when. In-state rivalries will remain apart of the schedule. Alabama-Auburn, Mississippi State-Ole Miss and Tennessee-Vanderbilt are on the schedule. Other notable games include Alabama-Tennessee, Florida-Georgia, Auburn-Georgia and LSU-Arkansas. But what is the most notable game on each team’s schedule? Alabama The Tide hosts Auburn, Georgia, Missouri and South Carolina. Nick Saban’s crew goes on the road to LSU, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There’s one that stands head and shoulders above the rest: Georgia. As Finebaum said, “This is really the headliner. We are talking a lot about Oklahoma and Texas, and we should be, but, nationally, people are saying Georgia and Alabama are playing some time during the season and we don’t know when. When that game is will be critical. It will be the game of the day. It will be the game of the year. Furthering the point earlier about the SEC coming under criticism for not going to nine, that one game shuts it up. “Because what we are talking about is the CFP, and they are going to have an impossible time penalizing the SEC’s two best biggest teams. That game speaks for itself.” Arkansas The Razorbacks host LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas, then take to the road for Auburn, Miss. State, Missouri and Texas. Like Texas, renewing that old Southwest Conference rivalry - in Austin, mind you - will cue the nostalga. Auburn Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt come to Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers hit the road for games at Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri. “The Auburn reaction is I don’t see LSU, but it’s OK. They replaced it with OU at home. You going to play Alabama and UGA on the road. Not really favorable,” Takeo Spikes said Tuesday night. While the idea of Oklahoma coming to campus will have fans excited, there is still an Iron Bowl on the schedule. Florida The Gators host Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. They hit the road for Georgia (Jacksonville), Miss. State, Tennessee and Texas. Plenty of rivalry games remain on Florida’s schedule, but none more important than Georgia. Georgia Kirby Smart’s team has Auburn, Florida (Jacksonville), Miss. State and Tennessee on the home slate, then get Alabama, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Texas on the road. Best game? That’s easy. It’s Alabama. Kentucky Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina and Vanderbilt head to Kentucky, but the Wildcats head to Florida, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas. Going to Austin will be exciting for fans, obviously, that Tennessee game means a lot to fans. LSU LSU hosts Alabama, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. The Tigers get Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina and Texas A&M on the road. The Sooners will experience SEC football under the lights of Tiger Stadium, but LSU has the Alabama game circled on the schedule. Oklahoma The Sooners have home games against Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas (in Dallas), while they travel to Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and Missouri. While Nick Saban coming to town is a big one, you can’t ignore the return of former coach Josh Heupel when he brings his Volunteers to town. Ole Miss The Rebels host Georgia, Kentucky, Miss. State and Oklahoma. Ole Miss travels to Arkansas, Florida, LSU and South Carolina. Lane Kiffin’s team hosting Georgia is too good to pass up here. Miss. State The Bulldogs get Arkansas, Florida, Missouri and Texas A&M at home. They travel to Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas. How can you not be pumped for the Scott Strickland Bowl. The Gators travel to Starkville for the first time since 2018. Missouri The Tigers host Arkansas, Auburn, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. They travel to Alabama, Miss. State, South Carolina and Texas A&M The Big 8 gets renewed when the Sooners come calling, but it will be a big one. South Carolina The Gamecocks host LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri and Texas A&M. South Carolina travels to Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. South Carolina headed to Norman? Yeah, that’s a big one for the Gamecocks. Tennessee The Vols host Alabama, Florida, Kentucky and Miss. State. Tennessee heads to Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. Most of the games are annual games for the Vols, so, like Oklahoma, we celebrate the return of Heupel to Norman here. Texas The Longhorns host Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State, then travel to Oklahoma (in Dallas), Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Playing the Sooners in the Cotton Bowl is always a hit with fans, but that’s the problem. It’s an annual rivalry. We give the nod to the old Southwest Conference when the Horns face Arkansas. Texas A&M The Aggies host Arkansas, LSU, Missouri and Texas. They hit the road for Auburn, Florida, Miss. State and South Carolina. Texas A&M hosts Texas. Enough said. Vanderbilt Vanderbilt hosts Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, while the Commodores hit the road for Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Missouri. They are all big for the Commodores, but the Longhorns in Nashville has a nice ring to it.

LITTLE CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Many children in the Fox Valley had off school today for the snow. At Heesakker Park in Little Chute, families spent the day sledding down the hill. Village native Erica Daily took a half day at work so she could take her two children, Grant and Elliot, along with Grant’s friend Michael, sledding. She says, “In Little Chute, we don’t really get too many snow days, and especially this year, there has been no other opportunity. It’s a way to get out, get some physical activity and a breathe that fresh air.” Originally, the Dailys’ planned to go somewhere else to sled, but Grant says “you can go a little bit faster and this one is a lot longer.” Also sledding were the Vanveghel family. Chris Vanveghel is a construction worker who had the day off from the snow. He took his children Charley and Dominic, along with Charley’s friend Morgan Vanderheiden, to the park. He says, “I told them, I used to do this when I was a kid all the time. It was our only thing we could do. We didn’t have Playstations. We enjoyed ourselves so, I said ‘let’s go try it.’” We asked each of his children and Morgan what they liked most about sledding. Dominic, 7, said “It’s just fun to be outside.” Charley, 12, stated “It’s really fun to spend time with friends and family.” For Morgan, she was just glad not to be cooped up inside: “It’s just fun getting outside more because sometimes on snow days, you’re just stuck in the house because it can be rainy snow, but if it’s regular snow, then it’s really fun to come out here.”

They took down one of the favorites in Class 4A. They put the underdog in its place. For their finale of the Tournament of Champions on Saturday, the St. Michael’s Lady Horsemen notched a win over a Class 5A team. Behind strong serving at key moments and solid play from Maya Pino and Carmen Pacheco, St. Michael’s rallied from another opening-game slump and downed the Los Lunas Lady Tigers, the favorites to win District 5-5A, by a 17-25, 26-24, 25-20, 25-22 count in the tournament’s finals at Santa Fe High. At 9-0, St. Michael’s has more than established itself as the team to beat in 3A — it is one of the best teams in the state regardless of class. It already boasted wins over Albuquerque Hope Christian, ranked No. 3 in 4A, and an underrated Capital team with a perfect record heading into Saturday’s semifinal. St. Michael’s swept the Lady Jaguars to get to the championship match. Beating a team the caliber of Los Lunas (2-4) didn’t go unnoticed by Lady Horsemen head coach Valerie Sandoval. “Los Lunas is up there,” Sandoval said. “They have a great program, they have great hitters, a great setter. Their passing is really good. For us to come back against a team like that says a lot.” The Lady Horsemen won because they valued their serve more than the Lady Tigers. When Los Lunas libero Lauren Shiplet dumped her serve into the net on match point in Game 4, it represented the 14th service error by the 5A school. On the other end, St. Michael’s had just four. Add to that some strong service runs from the likes of Marissa Sandoval-Moya, Carley Gravel and Victoria Victorino, and the Lady Horsemen showed how important holding serve can be. It proved essential, as St. Michael’s struggled at times to slow down Lady Tigers outside hitter Riley Luther. The junior recorded 20 kills to lead all players, including her last one that brought Los Lunas within 24-22 in the final game. She opened the match with five kills in the opening game, as Los Lunas appeared to be in control. The Lady Tigers also benefitted from the savvy of sophomore setter Mia Mendoza, who collected four of her seven kills on quick drops that caught the St. Michael’s by surprise. “We had to shift a couple of things a couple of times,” Sandoval said. “I think that frustrated them a little bit because those same shots weren’t open every time. Our defense, I am so proud of them. They had a great weekend.” The Lady Horsemen hitters had almost as good of a tournament. The attack against Los Lunas was led by junior outside hitter Rebekah Bagwell’s 11 kills. Four of her kills came during a crucial 11-2 run that turned a 16-12 deficit into a 23-18 lead. Not to be forgotten was junior middle hitter Mia Duran, who had consecutive blocks to end the run. “All of us across the front row are really aggressive,” Bagwell said. “We all want the ball, but we work really well together.” There was also sophomore Maya Pino, who had nine kills, and Carmen Pacheco, who added eight. It was her block-kill combination that halted an early 5-0 start in Game 4 by the Lady Tigers and helped St. Michael’s rally to tie the score at 6. “Marissa and Carley did a great job of spreading it out,” Sandoval said. “We kept talking about going outside, going middle, go right. Mix it up, and they did a great job of just mixing it up every time so their defense wasn’t sure what was coming.” That’s just a taste of what the rest of the opponents for St. Michael’s have to face. In the third-place match, Pojoaque Valley swept Capital, 25-19, 26-24, 25-20.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow visited jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday, just weeks after a Russian court rejected her appeal of her nine-year sentence for drug possession. State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a tweet that the American representatives "saw firsthand her tenacity and perseverance despite her present circumstances." Price said the Biden administration is continuing to press for the immediate release of Griner and Paul Whelan, who was sentenced in 2020 to 16 years in prison in Russia on espionage-related charges that he and his family say are bogus, and "fair treatment for every detained American." White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Griner "is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances" and that the administration was working "to resolve the current unacceptable and wrongful detentions" of Griner and Whelan." Griner was was convicted in August after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. Her arrest in February came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington, just days before Russia sent troops into Ukraine. At that time, Griner was returning to play for a Russian team during the WNBA's offseason. She admitted at her trial to having the canisters in her luggage but testified she packed them inadvertently in her haste to make her flight and had no criminal intent. Her lawyers have called the punishment excessive. The United States regards Griner and Whelan as wrongful detainees and has been trying to negotiate with Russia for their release. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said over the summer that the U.S. had made a "substantial proposal" to Russia to try to get both home. People familiar with the offer have said the U.S. wanted to swap Whelan and Griner for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. There have been no outward signs of progress since then in the negotiations. Jean-Pierre told reporters traveling with the president to New Mexico that "despite a lack of good faith negotiation by the Russians, the U.S. government has continued to follow up on that offer and propose alternative potential ways forward with Russia through all available channels. This continues to be a top priority." ____ Follow Eric Tucker on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/etuckerAP ___ Follow AP's coverage of Brittney Griner at: https://apnews.com/hub/brittney-griner

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — A former NFL player was arrested on a misdemeanor driving under the influence charge after troopers say his vehicle rear-ended a pick-up truck that was on the side of a South Florida highway because of a flat tire, injuring the truck’s driver who had been standing outside. Vontae Davis, 34, smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes and could barely stay awake while being interviewed by a trooper after the accident early Saturday on the Florida Turnpike in Hollywood, Florida, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol. According to troopers, Davis lost control of his Tesla sedan and it collided with the parked pickup truck on the side of the turnpike. The impact of the collision sent the pickup truck spinning into a concrete barrier, and the truck struck its driver who had been waiting outside. The driver was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries, the report said. Davis refused to provide a blood or urine sample and wouldn’t agree to perform a field sobriety test, the report said. He told the trooper that he had consumed two drinks at a club. No attorney was listed for Davis in an online court docket. Davis is perhaps best known for announcing his retirement in 2018 in the middle of a game between his team at the time, the Buffalo Bills, and the Los Angeles Chargers. Davis also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins.

Autopsy finds North Carolina man died of 'sudden cardiac arrest' during police confrontation Raleigh, N.C. — A man who died after police officers in North Carolina's capital city repeatedly used stun guns on him died from "sudden cardiac arrest" related to cocaine intoxication and the police confrontation, according to the state's autopsy report released Wednesday. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also labeled the Jan. 17 death of 32-year-old Darryl Tyree Williams a homicide. The autopsy report listed the cause of Williams’ death “as sudden cardiac arrest in the setting of cocaine intoxication, physical exertion, conducted energy weapon use, and physical restraint.” A toxicology analysis in part detected cocaine and a chemical that's contained in marijuana in his blood, the report said. The Raleigh Police Department said its officers were trying to arrest Williams around 2 a.m. for possession of a controlled substance. Several officers were placed on administrative leave, and the State Bureau of Investigation conducted a probe into what happened. The SBI has submitted its case file to Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, who will determine whether criminal charges are appropriate, SBI spokesperson Angie Grube said. Williams’ family has called on officials to fire officers and charge them in his death. In a news release, attorneys for the family said that the autopsy confirms that “Darryl’s death was a direct result of excessive and unreasonable police force.” “We will work tirelessly to ensure that those responsible for this senseless loss of life are held accountable" and that there are “meaningful changes" implemented to prevent similar future deaths, the release said. An email to Raleigh police spokespersons seeking comment on Wednesday and the status of the officers placed on leave wasn't immediately returned. Police have said they were trying to arrest Williams after they found a folded dollar bill with white powder in his pocket. Police said two officers stunned Williams with a Taser a total of three times as they tried to take him into custody. The autopsy found injuries on his back consistent with stun gun use. Williams, a Black man, can be heard in body and dashboard camera videos released by police in February protesting that he didn’t do anything and warning that he had a heart problem. Medical records showed he had a history of an unspecified irregular heartbeat, Wednesday's report said. Obesity and “hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease” also contributed to his death, the report said, adding that Williams also had a “known medical history of obesity and substance (tobacco, marijuana, and cocaine) abuse."

Kochevar, also below right, is a graduate of Fruita Monument High School who was previously the defensive coordinator at Colorado State University-Pueblo. Other new coaches this year included Mike Mendoza, below left, who took over the wrestling team. Colorado Mesa football coach Miles Kochevar, who was hired only one week before national letter-of-intent day last winter, believes the Mavericks have grown this season. “I think this thing is coming together,” he said Thursday. Flanked by his wife, Krista, and their sons, Santino, left, 6 months, and Anthony, 2, Miles Kochevar, the newly hired head football coach at Colorado Mesa University, answers questions from reporters during his introductory press conference at Brownson Arena on the CMU campus. Kochevar, also below right, is a graduate of Fruita Monument High School who was previously the defensive coordinator at Colorado State University-Pueblo. Other new coaches this year included Mike Mendoza, below left, who took over the wrestling team. Colorado Mesa football coach Miles Kochevar, who was hired only one week before national letter-of-intent day last winter, believes the Mavericks have grown this season. “I think this thing is coming together,” he said Thursday. Miles Kochevar knew he had to leave home so one day he could return home. Ten years after watching the introductory press conference of former Colorado Mesa football coach Russ Martin inside Brownson Arena, Kochevar was center stage just outside the arena the final day of January when he became the Mavericks’ head coach. “Things happen for a reason,” Kochevar said that day. “It was almost exactly 10 years ago today, I was lucky enough to be retained on Russ Martin’s staff when he came in. ... My wife (Krista) and I sat there, we were not married at the time, and I said, ‘I want to be a head coach, and I want to be a head coach back here at CMU.’ ’’ He grew up in Grand Junction, a star athlete at Fruita Monument High School, and spent 10 years learning all he could at several stops as an assistant coach. Kochevar replaced Tremaine Jackson, who abruptly resigned on Jan. 3, only two years after taking over for Martin. Jackson, who coached only 13 games, was hired as the head coach at Valdosta State (Georgia), which was coming off a national runner-up finish. The search committee put an emphasis on finding a football coach who had a desire to call western Colorado home, not as a stopover destination, and that’s exactly what Kochevar wants to do — he and Krista want to raise their two sons in the Grand Valley. The initial season wasn’t easy for Kochevar, with roughly 40 players either graduating or leaving the program via the transfer portal. The Mavericks went 4-6, losing several games because of costly turnovers or giving up late scores, but an overtime in at Chadron State and then a 20-point win at home over New Mexico Highlands to wrap up the season sent them into the offseason with some momentum. For one, he and his coaching staff have had a full season not only to create the blue-collar culture Kochevar brings, but to evaluate and recruit for the future, primarily though the high school ranks, but using the transfer portal to address immediate needs. “It’s been a little bit of everything this year, but I wouldn’t trade it,” Kochevar said after the season finale. “We learned a lot about who we are as players and coaches alike, so we’ve got a lot to build on. Now we know what it’s going to take for us to go out and be at the top of the RMAC year in and year out.” Football wasn’t the only coaching change for the Mavericks in 2022 — longtime wrestling coach Chuck Pipher announced his retirement in October, just before the season began. Assistant coach Mike Mendoza was promoted, with Pipher’s nephew, Bo Pipher, a three-time state champion at Paonia who wrestled at Penn State, promoted to fulltime assistant. Chuck Pipher had been the only coach at CMU since the program was resurrected in 2006. Men’s lacrosse coach Vince Smith resigned over the summer to take a job as the dean of students at a private school in Florida, with assistant coach Troy Moyer being promoted to replace him, and Jen Mathe was hired in October as the triathlon coach, replacing Kinsey Laine, who left to start a triathlon program at Cal Poly-Humboldt. Also, longtime baseball assistant coach Steve Woytek resigned when he was promoted to athletic director at Grand Junction High School. CMU coach Chris Hanks hired Mark Vig, who most recently was the pitching coach at Metro State, as an assistant.

Rent stabilization measures win in US midterm election SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ballot measures in the U.S. to build more affordable housing and protect tenants from soaring rent increases were plentiful and fared well in last week’s midterm elections, a sign of growing angst over record high rents exacerbated by inflation and lack of homes. Voters approved capping rent increases at below inflation in three U.S. cities: Portland, Maine, and Richmond and Santa Monica in California. Another measure was leading in the vote count in Pasadena outside of Los Angeles. In Florida, voters in Orange County, which includes Orlando, overwhelmingly passed a rent stabilization measure but a court ruling means it’s unlikely to go into force. There were also dozens of proposals on the Nov. 8 ballot raising money for and authorizing construction of affordable housing, said Diane Yentel, president and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Many passed. “Housing is a winning campaign issue. It’s one that voters show up for and it’s one that should cause policymakers at all levels to act,” said Yentel, adding that even a loss can be a win. “The act of organizing itself builds strength, it builds power, and it builds connections and it builds momentum,” she said. Calls for more affordable homes and policies to keep tenants housed have been growing as homelessness increases even in places outside coastal urban centers such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. Moreover, teachers, police and other public servants say they cannot afford to live in the places where they work, resulting in nightmare commutes and staffing shortages. Backers say rent control policies are needed to curb sharp increases that put tenants at risk of eviction. They say protections are especially needed now as more corporations snap up rental housing for profit. As of 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau found businesses owned nearly half of rental units. “The market is out of whack, the government needs to step in and regulate it so there can be stability,” said Leah Simon-Weisberg, a tenants rights attorney and chair of the rent board in Berkeley, California. Opponents say rent control increases costs for landlords, the majority of whom are mom-and-pop operations with a handful of units each. Restricting rents will spur disinvestment in rental stock and discourage construction of affordable housing. “Decades of empirical research have shown this policy does not help the underlying cause of the housing shortage that we have now. If anything, it makes the housing challenge more acute,” said Ben Harrold, public policy manager at the National Apartment Association. Most states preempt cities and counties from enacting rent stabilization, the result of lobbying by the real estate industry in the 1970s. Still, in cities accustomed to rent regulation voters approved stronger rent caps and more tenant protections. The California cities of Richmond and Santa Monica easily approved measures to tighten existing rent increase maximums to 3%, significantly less than the state cap of 10%. In Oakland, across the bay from San Francisco, voters expanded eviction protections for tenants. In Portland, Maine, 55% of voters approved a measure to slim down an existing rent cap, from 100% of the consumer price index to 70%. The proposal also dictates a host of other tenant protections, such as limiting security deposits to one month’s rent and requiring 90 days notice for a rent increase or lease termination. A ballot measure in Pasadena to cap annual rent increases at 75% of the consumer price index had more than 52% of the vote late Tuesday, and the campaign declared victory. The campaign’s finance coordinator, Ryan Bell, said organizers went all out to reach voters but also, the timing was right. “The pandemic really made it clear that people who are renting their housing are insecure by definition. Their housing could be taken away from them in some cities for no cause and a massive rent increase is functionally an eviction,” he said. “There’s just more and more stories.” Meanwhile, the rent cap overwhelmingly approved by voters in Orange County, Florida, is on hold. A court ruled it didn’t meet what it acknowledged was an “extremely high bar” set by a state law that requires a housing emergency be identified before a rent cap can be put in place. Nearly 60% of voters approved the measure after rents jumped 25% between 2020 and 2021 and another double-digit increase this year. The Board of County Commissioners in Orange was scheduled to meet Thursday to decide whether to appeal. Tenant advocates and landlords do agree on the need for more affordable housing, and cities and counties in Arizona, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas and Ohio were among those that approved bond measures for more units, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. In Colorado, voters approved a sweeping measure to set aside roughly $300 million a year for programs that curb homelessness and promote affordable housing. But in Denver, where Zillow data shows median rental prices jumped $600 in two years, 58% of voters rejected a $12 million proposal to expand free legal counsel for all tenants facing eviction. The eviction fund would have been financed by a $75 annual fee on landlords. For Drew Hamrick, vice president of government affairs for the Apartment Association of Metro Denver, the opposing argument “that resonated the most was that this $12 million tax was going to end up being paid for by the consumer regardless of what political outlook you have.” —— Michael Casey in Boston, Patrick Whittle in Portland, Maine, and Jesse Bedayn in Denver contributed. ___ Bedayn is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

By ILAN BEN ZION Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) — Installing an elevator doesn’t normally involve a 2,000-year plunge into an ancient city’s history. But in Jerusalem, even seemingly simple construction projects can lead to archaeological endeavors. Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem say they have made numerous discoveries, including an ornate first-century villa with its own ritual bath, after a project began to increase access for disabled people to Jerusalem’s Western Wall. The villa, located footsteps from where the biblical Jewish Temples stood, was uncovered during several years of salvage excavations in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem’s historic Old City. Archaeologists perform salvage excavations to make a scientific study of ancient artifacts and buildings before they are removed to make way for modern construction. Jerusalem’s Western Wall is the holiest site where Jews can pray and millions of worshipers and tourists visit it each year. But to get to the site from the adjacent Jewish Quarter, visitors typically have to descend 142 steps, or take a long detour around the city walls to one of the nearby gates. In 2017, the Jewish Quarter Reconstruction and Development Company got the green light to begin construction of two elevators to let visitors make the 26-meter (85-foot) descent with greater ease. The location was a narrow sliver of largely undeveloped slope abutting the existing staircase on the eastern edge of the Jewish Quarter. “The Western Wall is not a privilege, it’s elemental for a Jew or for any person from around the world who wants to come to this holy place,” said Herzl Ben Ari, CEO of the development group. “We have to enable it for everybody.” However, like modern development projects in other ancient cities, such as Istanbul, Rome, Athens and Thessaloniki, archaeological finds slowed progress to a crawl. “This plot of land where the elevator is going to be built remained undisturbed, giving us the great opportunity of digging through all the strata, all the layers of ancient Jerusalem,” said Michal Haber, an archaeologist from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Five years into the undertaking, the archaeological work is nearing completion, but the elevators are only expected to be brought online in 2025. During their dig, the archaeologists carefully peeled back successive layers of construction and debris that had accumulated over two millennia, over 9 meters (30 feet) in total. Historical waypoints included Ottoman pipes built into a 2,000-year-old aqueduct that supplied Jerusalem with water from springs near Bethlehem; early Islamic oil lamps; bricks stamped with the name of the 10th Legion, the Roman army that besieged, destroyed and was afterwards encamped in Jerusalem two millennia ago; and the remains of the Judean villa from the final days before the ancient Jewish Temple’s destruction in the year 70. Archaeologist Oren Gutfeld said they were surprised to uncover traces from Jerusalem’s reconstruction as the Roman city of Aelia Capitolina in the 2nd century. Fragments of frescoes and intricate mosaics from the villa indicated the wealth of the home’s occupants. But upon reaching bedrock, Gutfeld and Haber’s team made one last find: a private Jewish ritual bath hewn into the limestone mountainside and vaulted with enormous dressed stones. Haber said the most significant thing about the bath, known as a mikveh, was its location overlooking the Temple esplanade. “We are in the wealthy neighborhood of the city on the eve of its destruction,” she said. While the elevator project is less contentious, development or archaeology excavations in Jerusalem, a city is holy to three faiths, often take on a political dimension. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their hoped-for state, while Israel considers the entire city as its eternal, undivided capital. Israel captured east Jerusalem, which includes the Old City and holy sites to Jews, Christians and Muslims, in the 1967 war. It later annexed east Jerusalem in a move unrecognized by most of the international community. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

IDYLLWILD, Calif. (AP) — Two rock climbers were found dead near a Southern California peak after rescue crews responded to reports of injuries, authorities said. Rescuers were called around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to Tahquitz Rock near Idyllwild following a distress call, the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department said on Twitter. A team managed to climb into the steep, remote area and found both unidentified climbers dead at the scene, the department said. A small amount of rain fell in the area earlier in the day, but officials didn't immediately say if weather was a factor in the deaths. Tahquitz Rock, with its steep granite cliffs, is a popular destination for climbers. Two climbers from Los Angeles fell 200 feet (60 meters) to their deaths on the rock in 2000, according to the LA Times.

Nordic combined, which uniquely tests skiers on jaw-dropping jumps and heart-pounding trails, has been a part of the Winter Olympics since 1924. Its time might be up. It is the only Olympic sport without women and the International Olympic Committee is due to make a decision later this month about whether to allow women to compete in Nordic combined at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo Games. There is the possibility, however, that Nordic combined is dropped entirely from the Olympics, according to athletes and advocates. “What I heard loud and clear in back channels is that the solution to take care of the gender equity dirty secret is to take men out of the program for 2026,” said Billy Demong, a five-time Olympian in Nordic combined and member of USA Nordic’s board of directors. “To take away one of the original sports from the first Winter Olympics would be tragic, short-sighted and misguided.” The IOC said final decisions on the 2026 Olympics program of medal events are scheduled to be decided at a June 24 meeting of its executive board, chaired by president Thomas Bach. “We’re seeing sports such as ski mountaineering added and I’m hearing the IOC does not want to increase the number of athletes and the solution is take men out of Nordic combined,” Demong said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. Men in the Nordic combined have been publicly pushing on social media and elsewhere for women to be included, adding a mixed team format as another Olympic medal event, and are now bracing for their future as athletes on the world’s stage. Jasper Good, who competed for the U.S. earlier this year at the Beijing Olympics, said he was “blindsided” by the possibility. “Information is trickling to us from athlete groups from around the world and national governing bodies, and most of us didn’t realize the sport is in jeopardy,” he said. International Ski Federation Nordic combined race director Lasse Ottesen said he has not heard officially from the IOC about men potentially being eliminated from the Olympic program. “We do hear speculation from different sides,” Ottesen said Wednesday. “If the IOC, for some reason, would make a decision not to include women for the ‘26 events, what would happen with the men’s? Would that be sort of a signal to say you’re on for the ‘26 events, but for ‘30, we are thinking gender equality and then the men are out.” Nordic combined skiers must have finesse and fearlessness for ski jumping while training to have the strength and stamina necessary for a 10-kilometer cross-country course. The athlete who wins the ski jumping stage starts the cross-country race in the front of the pack, followed by the rest of the competition in their order of finish and then they race to the line for gold. While Nordic combined is a fringe sport in the United States, it is very popular in parts of Europe and Japan. “It’s really big in countries like Norway, Germany and Austria,” U.S. Olympic Nordic combined skier Jared Shumate said. “Those three countries usually dominate the world cup podiums, and Olympic podiums. And obviously, we don’t have quite the same fame.” Annika Malacinski is one of dozens of women around the world who have sacrificed a lot of time and money to go for Olympic gold. The 21-year-old Malacinski, who has American-Finnish dual citizenship and competes for the U.S., had high hopes of competing in China dashed in 2018. The IOC executive board considered denied an application then that would have allowed her and other women to compete in Nordic combined at the Beijing Games. IOC sports director Kit McConnell said then that development in terms of the universality, competitiveness,and following was needed. During the 2022 season, nearly 40 women competed at the highest level of the sport in a successful follow to the debut World Cup season for women a year ago. “There’s no reason that we shouldn’t be in the Olympics,” said Norway’s Ida Marie Hagen, who finished No. 2 in the World Cup standings. “The level is getting higher. There’s also a lot of athletes from different continents.” The IOC is proud to point to improvements made toward gender equality, saying the Beijing Games set new marks for female competitors by increasing participation to 45% from 41% in 2018. The 2024 Paris Games are expected to be the first Olympics with as many women as men competing. Alas, the Olympics’ Instagram post to point that out led to another round a flurry of responses calling for women to be included in Nordic combined. “It makes it just so much more intense, especially when the decision is only a week away,” Malacinski told the AP. ___ AP Sports Writer Graham Dunbar in Geneva contributed. ___ Follow Larry Lage at https://twitter.com/larrylage ___ More AP Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/winter-olympics and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Patrick Rodgers shot a 1-under 71 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Valero Texas Open, with his first PGA Tour title and Masters spot at stake. Making his 235th tour start, the 30-year-old Rodgers had a 12-under 204 total at the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio. Canadian Corey Conners, the 2019 Texas Open winner, was second after a 69. Matt Kuchar was a shot back on the 18th tee, but he made a double bogey for a 69 to end up third at 9 under. “I think we all know what’s at stake out here with a win,” Rodgers said. “There’s a lot of guys chasing, and great players out here. There’s no better place to be than to have an advantage, but it’s going to take a great round in order to get it done.” Chris Kirk (69) and Sam Stevens (68) were 8 under. Kuchar was one of three notable names to crawl up the leaderboard Saturday. Three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, at age 51, parred his first 10 holes, then shot a back-nine 32 for a 68. He was 7 under. Former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama was 6 under after a 68. Rodgers led by three coming into the third round. Rodgers and Conners each birdied the drivable 331-yard 17th hole when they chipped close with their second shots. That left Rodgers up by two, but he pushed his tee shot at 18 behind a tree and made bogey from a greenside bunker. Conners could have tied, but missed an 8-foot birdie putt. “I like a lot of the things I did today,” said Conners, who has not won since his Texas Open trophy from four years ago. “I made some birdies on the back nine today and have some good momentum from that.” Rodgers has a 54-hole lead for the fourth time on the tour. He has three second-place finishes. Kuchar was one shot back after driving the par-4 17th green and almost holing a 37-foot eagle putt. It was a stretch of three birdies in six holes, but on the 18 tee, Kuchar pulled his drive shot into a cactus bush. He lost a stroke with an unplayable lie and finished with the double bogey on the par 5. “I paid the price with a poor tee shot on the last,” Kuchar said. “This is tough golf course, one that it’s easy to go wayward, easy to make some big numbers.” Along with Harrington, Byeong Hun An (68), Harry Higgs (72), Lee Hodges (69), Augusto Nunez (69) and Sam Ryder (68) were five behind Rodgers. “It was a decent day,” Harrington said. “Maybe a low one tomorrow will get us in the hunt.” ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

‘They’ll be greatly missed’: Couple together for 57 years die in house fire PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WTAE) - A couple who were together for more than a half-century died in a house fire early Monday morning. ‘They’ll be greatly missed. My heart is broken,” said Lenise Anderson, the couple’s daughter. Lenise Anderson is one of three children belonging to 76-year-old Larry and 74-year-old Charmaine Anderson who had called their house in the Beltzhoover neighborhood home since 1972. “They died together, 57 years. One wouldn’t have been without the other,” Lenise Anderson said. It was around 5:30 in the morning when neighbors said they saw flames engulfing the Anderson home. Fire crews said they got to the house within four minutes, but the couple did not survive. Now, the couple’s loved ones are remembering the legacy they left behind, including their love of music. “My grandfather played the guitar all my life, played the bass, the piano. My grandmother was a singer. They had a group for years,” said Christo Washington, the couple’s grandson. The family said the two left a legacy of love that included their loved ones and the community. “They loved their family; they loved their community. This was always a house where anybody could get love as they always gave their love to everybody,” Brandi Anderson, a cousin, said. The family said they will continue the couple’s loving legacy after their death. “It’s a legacy. They left a legacy that I’m proud of and I’m proud to carry on,” Washington said.

NEW YORK, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Berman Next Generation Connectivity Fund Inc. (NYSE: NBXG) (the "Fund") has announced a distribution declaration of $0.10 per share of common stock. The distribution announced today is payable on August 31, 2022, has a record date of August 15, 2022 and has an ex-date of August 12, 2022. Under its level distribution policy, the Fund anticipates that it will make regular monthly distributions, subject to market conditions, of $0.10 per share of common stock, unless further action is taken to determine another amount. The Fund's ability to maintain its current distribution rate will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and stability of income received from its investments, availability of capital gains, and the level of other Fund fees and expenses. There is no assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay a distribution of any particular amount or that a distribution will consist of only net investment income.

In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a notice would be provided for any distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income. The notice would be for informational purposes and not for tax reporting purposes, and would disclose, among other things, estimated portions of the distribution, if any, consisting of net investment income, capital gains and return of capital. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions paid in 2022 will be made after the end of the year.

CENTERVIEW ALSO DOMINATES THE QUALITY OF LIFE RANKINGS, RANKING NO. 1 IN 16 CATEGORIES, INCLUDING COMPENSATION, HOURS, WELLNESS, WORK/LIFE BALANCE, BUSINESS OUTLOOK, AND OVERALL SATISFACTION LOOP CAPITAL SWEEPS THE DIVERSITY RANKINGS FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, RANKING NO. 1 IN OVERALL DIVERSITY, RACIAL AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY FOR WOMEN, AND LGBTQ+ DIVERSITY NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vault releases its Banking 25 Rankings for 2023, with Centerview Partners ranking as the "Best Investment Banking Firm to Work For." It's the fourth year in a row that Centerview takes the top spot. Meanwhile, Evercore remains No. 2, and Moelis & Company remains No. 3. Rounding out the top five of the Banking 25 are Morgan Stanley, which holds steady at No. 4, and Lazard, which again ranks No. 5. The rankings are derived from the annual Vault Banking Survey. Conducted in the fall of 2022, the survey asked more than 3,000 banking professionals of all levels to assess their peer firms on a scale of 1 to 10 based on prestige (they were unable to rate their own firms and asked to rate only firms with which they were familiar). They were also asked to rate their own firms in various quality of life categories, including compensation, hours, firm culture, business outlook, training, wellness, work/life balance, and overall job satisfaction. A weighted formula, which includes external prestige scores and internal quality of life scores, was applied to this data to create the Banking 25. The 10 Best Investment Banks to Work for Based on Vault's Annual Banking Survey Are: - Centerview Partners - Evercore - Moelis & Company - Morgan Stanley - Lazard - PJT Partners - Perella Weinberg Partners - Guggenheim Securities - William Blair - Greenhill No. 1 Centerview Is an "Impressive Franchise" That Offers "Insane Pay" In addition to ranking No. 1 in the Banking 25, Centerview ranks No. 1 in an impressive 16 workplace categories: Business Outlook, Client Interaction, Compensation, Culture, ESG Practices, Firm Leadership, Formal Training, Hiring Process, Hours, Informal Training, Internal Mobility, Promotion Policies, Quality of Work, Satisfaction, Wellness, and Work/Life Balance. The firm also ranks No. 5 in Prestige, with bankers at peer firms calling Centerview "hands down the best firm on the Street," an "impressive franchise" that offers "insane pay," and, simply, "the GOAT." Meanwhile, Centerview professionals tell us that the firm's "apprenticeship model" offers a "unique opportunity to learn from and work with some of the smartest, hardworking, talented bankers in the world." In addition, Centerview bankers rave about the "strong deal flow" and "high quality of work," which means working alongside "high profile clients" on "high profile deals." Add to that "the highest comp on the Street" and it's no wonder Centerview has a stranglehold on the No. 1 spot overall in our rankings. No. 2 Evercore Is a "Nimble," "Elite," "Top-Tier Boutique" Evercore again ranks No. 2 overall and holds onto its No. 4 ranking in Prestige. In addition, it ranks No. 2 in Formal Training, No. 3 in Racial and Ethnic Diversity, and No. 3 in Hiring Process. Peer bankers say Evercore is a "top-tier boutique" offering a "great overall experience" and "good comp." Peer bankers also call Evercore "elite," "exclusive," "nimble," "creative," and "a strong competitor." Meanwhile, Evercore insiders tell us that the firm is filled with "ultra-smart, talented, ambitious people," and has a "culture of excellence." Evercore insiders also tell us its junior bankers are treated to "a lot of early responsibility," "excellent deal experience," and "outstanding compensation." No. 3 Moelis Is a "Top 5 Boutique" and "Premier Restructuring Firm" Moelis impressively holds steady this year at No. 3. overall. It also ranks No. 1 in Relationships with Managers, and No. 2 in numerous workplace categories, including Benefits, Business Outlook, Informal Training, Internal Mobility, Promotion Policies, Quality of Work, Satisfaction, Wellness, and Work/Life Balance. In addition, Moelis again ranks No. 7 in Prestige. This year, peer bankers tell us that Moelis is a "top 5 boutique" and "premier restructuring firm" that offers "good exit opportunities." Meanwhile, Moelis insiders say the firm has "great people" and "a collaborative team-oriented culture," and offers junior bankers "access to senior leaders," "many growth opportunities," and "top-tier compensation." Loop Capital, "the Most Diverse Team on Wall Street," Ranks No. 1 in All Four Diversity Categories Chicago-based Loop Capital Markets, which ranks No. 18 overall, sweeps our Diversity Rankings for the second year in a row. Impressively, the firm again ranks No. 1 in all four of our diversity categories: Overall Diversity, Racial and Ethnic Diversity, Diversity for Women, and LGBTQ+ Diversity. According one Loop Capital insider, "I believe we have the most diverse team on Wall Street. Our CEO is an African-American male, our Head of HR is an African-American female, our Head of Corporate Investment Banking is an African-American female, our Head of APAC is an Asian female, our Head of our Short-Term Desk is an Asian female, and our Head of Public Finance is an African-American male." Another Loop Capital insider tells us that this year Loop "partnered with a program for young, high-achieving first generation students called ATLAS Fellows, which provides scholarships and internship support." Lazard and William Blair Also Win Big in Our Quality of Life Rankings New York-based Lazard ranks No. 1 in International Opportunities, and Chicago-based William Blair ranks No. 1 in Benefits as well as Vacation Policies. One Lazard insider tells us that they were "given the opportunity to transfer overseas for a year, giving me exposure to new ideas, clients, markets, and cultures." Meanwhile, William Blair insiders tell us that "maternity and paternity leave is very much supported and you're encouraged to take it," and "senior leadership is very serious about vacations and protected time out of the office." Top Investment Banks Address Junior-Banker Burnout 2021 was one of Wall Street's busiest and most profitable years in history. It was also a year during which many junior bankers felt overworked, underappreciated, and burned out—and weren't afraid to speak out about it. Judging by the results of our recent Banking Survey, top investment banks got the message—and made changes, improving their perks and benefits as well as how they approach work/life balance. According to the more than 3,000 banking professionals who took our survey this year, on average their Satisfaction with their Vacation Policies rose by 8 percent versus last year and their Satisfaction with their Wellness Benefits rose by 5 percent. In addition, their Satisfaction with Working Hours rose by 4.5 percent and Satisfaction with Compensation rose by 6 percent. Further, according to many bankers who took our survey, now it's common that their firms offer protected weekends (preventing senior bankers from giving juniors work on certain weekend days). It's also common that juniors are encouraged to use all their PTO. In addition, many firms now offer an extensive suite of wellness benefits. Here's one banker who took our survey speaking about the wellness offerings at their firm: "The firm provides a free benefit for telehealth therapy through a provider. There are wellness rooms to decompress, and taking mindfulness breaks is encouraged. Regular trainings and seminars are hosted by the firm. During Covid, bankers and management took a lot of interest in employees' mental health." And here's another junior banker at a different firm: "Our staffers work to build genuine rapport with us and watch out for signs of overwork or burnout, intervening well before the needle hits red." Our new banking company profiles include many more direct quotes from banking professionals about hours, work/life balance, overall satisfaction, compensation, benefits, training, wellness, diversity, business outlook, and more.

Writers strike looks to be a long fight, as Hollywood braces LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood writers picketing to preserve pay and job security outside major studios and streamers braced for a long fight at the outbreak of a strike that immediately forced late-night shows into hiatus, put other productions on pause and had the entire industry slowing its roll. The first Hollywood strike in 15 years commenced Tuesday as the 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America stopped working when their contract expired. The union is seeking higher minimum pay, more writers per show and less exclusivity on single projects, among other demands — all conditions it says have been diminished in the content boom of the streaming era. “Everything’s changed, but the money has changed in the wrong direction,” said Kelly Galuska, 39, a writer for “ The Bear ” on FX and “Big Mouth” on Netflix, who picketed at Fox Studios in Los Angeles with her 3-week-old daughter. “It’s a turning point in the industry right now. And if we don’t get back to even, we never will.” The last Hollywood strike, from the same union in 2007 and 2008, took three months to resolve. With no talks or even plans to talk pending between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios and productions companies, there is no telling how long writers will have to go without pay, or how many major productions will be delayed, shortened or scrapped. “We’ll stay out as long as it takes,” Josh Gad, a writer for shows including “Central Park” and an actor in films including “Frozen,” said from the Fox picket line. The AMPTP said in a statement that it presented an offer with “generous increases in compensation for writers as well as improvements in streaming residuals” and was prepared to improve its offer “but was unwilling to do so because of the magnitude of other proposals still on the table that the guild continues to insist upon.” The writers were well aware that a stoppage was likely. Yet the breakoff of contractual talks hours before a deadline that negotiations in previous years have sailed past for hours or even days, and the sudden reality of a strike, left some surprised, some worried, some determined. “When I saw the refusals to counter and the refusing to even negotiate by the AMPTP, I was like on fire to get out here and stand up for what we deserve,” Jonterri Gadson, a writer whose credits include “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” said on a picket line at Amazon Studios as she held a sign that read, “I hate it here.” All of the top late-night shows, which are staffed by writers that pen monologues and jokes for their hosts, immediately went dark. NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” Comedy Central’s “Daily Show,” ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live,” CBS’ “The Late Show” and NBC’s “Late Night” all made plans for reruns through the week. NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” which had been scheduled to air a new episode Saturday, will also go dark and air a rerun, and the two remaining episodes in the season are in jeopardy. The strike’s impact on scripted series and films will likely take longer to notice — though some shows, including Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” have already paused production on forthcoming seasons. If a strike persisted through the summer, fall TV schedules could be upended. In the meantime, those with finished scripts are permitted to continue shooting. Union members also picketed in New York, where less known writers were joined by more prominent peers like playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner (“The Fabelmans”) and “Dopesick” creator Danny Strong. Some actors including Rob Lowe joined the picket lines in support in Los Angeles. Many striking writers, like Gad, are hybrids who combine writing with other roles. Speaking from his acting side, Gad said of his fellow writers, “We are nothing without their words. We have nothing without them. And so it’s imperative that we resolve this in a way that benefits the brilliance that comes out of each of these people.” The other side of his hyphenated role could be in the same space soon, with many of the same issues at the center of negotiations for both the actors union SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild of America. Contracts for both expire in June. Streaming has exploded the number of series and films that are annually made, meaning more jobs for writers. But writers say they’ve been made to make less under shifting and insecure conditions that the WGA called “a gig economy inside a union workforce.” The union is seeking more compensation for writers up front, because many of the payments writers have historically profited from on the back end — like syndication and international licensing — have been largely phased out by the onset of streaming. Galuska said she is among the writers who have never seen those kind of once common benefits. “I’ve had the opportunity to write on great shows that are very, very popular and not really seen the compensation for that, unfortunately,” she said. The AMPTP said sticking points to a deal revolved around so-called mini-rooms — the guild is seeking a minimum number of scribes per writer room — and the duration of employment contracts. Writers are also seeking more regulation around the use of artificial intelligence, which the WGA’s writers say could give producers a shortcut to finishing their work. “The fact that the companies have refused to deal with us on that fact means that I’m even more scared about it today than I was a week ago. They obviously have a plan. The things they say no to, are the things they’re planning to do tomorrow.” ___ Jake Coyle and David Bauder in New York, and Krysta Fauria and Jonathan Landrum in Los Angeles, contributed.

Medicare expert and host of The Matt Feret Show authors updated guide CHICAGO, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medicare expert Matt Feret, a respected author and host of The Matt Feret Show™ (www.TheMattFeretShow.com) – which provides lifestyle and financial information for seniors – is releasing the second edition of his popular book Prepare for Medicare – The Insider's Guide™ To Buying Medicare Insurance. Medicare enrollment season can be stressful for the more than 65 million senior adults enrolled in the program and the more than 11,000 individuals turning 65 each day. Now available, the new book answers important questions such as: - Do I buy Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement? - How do I avoid Part B and Part D penalties? - What do I do if I am working past age 65? - What should I know about the new 2023 Medicare Advantage maximum-out-of-pocket limits? - Should I make my Medicare insurance selection on my own or use an insurance company or agent? "Each fall, older adults face a daunting number of choices as they make important financial commitments and medical predictions for the coming year when selecting their Medicare plans," says Feret. The book is designed to help enrollees select the best plan for them—without the pressure of a sales pitch. "Most Medicare plans change prices, benefits, prescription drug formularies and doctor networks annually," adds Feret. "A plan that fits well this year may not next year. Making the wrong choice can cost thousands of dollars in premiums and/or out-of-pocket expenses." The latest version of Prepare for Medicare - The Insider's Guide™ To Buying Medicare Insurance also helps Medicare beneficiaries: - Understand the three main ways people can "consume" their Medicare benefits - Navigate the new and improved Medicare government website - Clarify why you should "shop" your Medicare insurance annually "Wading through the onslaught of advertisements and mailers can be overwhelming," said Feret. "However, if you're not shopping your Medicare coverage every fall, you're probably paying too much." With more than 20 years of expertise in the Medicare insurance industry, Feret also offers a workbook, newsletter and blog with valuable insider information about Medicare. Feret has a master's degree in health administration from Washington University School of Medicine. He is available for media interviews to discuss the complexities of Medicare.

Comedian Jay Leno recently appeared on the “Today” show to discuss the accident that left him with burns on his face, chest, and hands. Leno was injured when flames erupted while working on his 1907 White Steam Car on Nov. 12. He stayed at the Grossman Burn Center for 10 days for treatment of third-degree burns and was released Nov. 22, with doctors expecting him to make a full recovery. The former “Tonight Show” host explained the events of the accident in an interview with “Today” show host Hoda Kotb, which airs in full Dec. 14. Leno said he was working on the White with friend Dave Killackey when the accident happened. EXCLUSIVE: Jay Leno @jayleno opens up to @hodakotb in his first broadcast interview about the terrifying fire that caused severe burns to his face, chest and hands. pic.twitter.com/FFpreRA7u1 — TODAY (@TODAYshow) December 14, 2022 “The fuel line was clogged so I was underneath it,” Leno said in the interview. “And I said, ‘Blow some air through the line,’ and so he did.” “Suddenly, boom, I got a face full of gas,” Leno continued, “And then the pilot light jumped and my face caught on fire.” Steam cars use a pilot light to ignite their fuel, which is used to heat water in a boiler, turning it into steam to propel the vehicle. Killackey pulled Leno out from under the car and smothered the fire. The comedian was then rushed to the hospital with what Killackey described in the interview as “horrific” burns. Killackey called 911, and doctors told him to go to a burn center, but he drove home instead. He then went to the burn center. Leno wasn’t concerned about any permanent cosmetic damage. “When you look like me you don’t really worry about what you look like, ” he said. “If I’m George Clooney, that’s going to be a huge problem, but they said it would be alright.” Some reconstruction was required, including around one ear, but Leno noted that doctors “saved all of the original parts.” He also spent eight hours a day in a hyperbaric chamber as part of the treatment, which he described as a “glass coffin.” In the interview, Leno looks to be fully healed. Images shown by the “Today” show during the interview show the extent of the damage at its worst. After his stay in the burn center, Leno was able to resume his routine of public appearances and standup comedy after being released. “The most expensive part of the operation was the gasoline,” he quipped. “We’re in California! It’s seven bucks a gallon!” Related Articles - Jay Leno released from hospital, should make full recovery - Bradley Cooper tipped to play Frank Bullitt in Spielberg sequel - Lamborghini delivers final Aventador coupe - Jay Leno burned by erupting car, in hospital - 1968 Mercedes-Benz 600 owned by Jay Kay up for auction

Higher water temperatures have ravaged the Great Barrier Reef, causing the worst coral bleaching ever recorded by scientistsImage: Greg Torda/Arc Centre Of Excelle/AAP/epa/dpa/picture alliance Great Barrier Reef should be on 'danger' list: UN experts 37 minutes ago Despite Australia's efforts, the Great Barrier Reef is in peril due to climate change factors. An official "in danger" label would risk removing it from the UNESCO World Heritage list. https://p.dw.com/p/4KCj1 Advertisement Conservation experts working with the UN warned on Monday recommended that the world's largest coral reef be added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites. But if the UN decides to designate the reef as endangered, it puts the Australian government on notice that the site could be removed from the World Heritage list altogether. What did the experts say? Eleanor Carter at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and UNESCO representative Hans Thulstrup said the reef was "significantly impacted by climate change factors" despite Australia's efforts. "The resilience of the property to recover from climate change impacts is substantially compromised," they said in a report based on a mission to the Great Barrier Reef. The report added that Australia lacked clear climate change targets and noted that some measures the country had pledged were not fully implemented, especially concerning fishing and water quality. What has Australia done to protect the Great Barrier Reef? In January, the Australian government announced a billion-dollar package to protect the reef. That announcement came after Australia narrowly avoided a UNESCO heritage list downgrade threat. Environmentalists have described the fund announced this year as putting "a Band-Aid on a broken leg."

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel and Turkey agreed to a fresh start in ties Thursday, according to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. Relations between the former allies became icy under Netanyahu's term in office. He is now expected to return to power soon as head of Israel's most right-wing government ever. Relations were already on the mend under outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid who met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in New York in September, the first meeting between the countries' leaders in 14 years. But Erdogan's relations with Israel under Netanyahu were particularly frosty, especially over recurring wars against Gaza's militant Hamas rulers and the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid by the Israeli military, also during Netanyahu's rule. Erdogan had shown a willingness for warmer ties since Netanyahu was ousted after 12 consecutive years in power last year. Thursday’s statement signaled that the ties could continue to improve under Netanyahu. Netanyahu’s office said they vowed to cooperate and start afresh in a phone call between the two leaders Thursday. Netanyahu is in the process of trying to form a government following national elections earlier this month. “The two leaders agreed to work together to launch a new era in ties between Turkey and Israel,” according to a statement from Netanyahu's office. There was no immediate comment from Erdogan's office. Over years of strained relations, Erdogan has been an outspoken critic of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. Israel, in turn, has objected to Turkey’s embrace of Hamas. The once-close regional allies withdrew their respective ambassadors in 2010, after Israeli forces stormed a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians that broke an Israeli blockade. The incident resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish activists. But following Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s state visit to Turkey in March and other signs of a thaw, the two countries agreed to exchange ambassadors. They still share various strategic interests, including containing Iran.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Taylor Swift scored a 10 out of 10 as she became the first artist in history to claim the top 10 slots of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with tracks from her new record “Midnights." Billboard reported Monday that Swift surpassed Drake, who had held the previous record with nine of the top 10 songs for a week in September 2021. “10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES,” the pop star tweeted Monday. The new album came out Oct. 21 with both a 13-track standard release and a deluxe version with another seven bonus tracks. It has had one of the biggest album launches in nearly seven years. Billboard also reported that Swift now ties with Barbra Streisand for the female artist with the most No. 1 albums. The No. 1 spot belongs to “Anti-Hero,” whose lyrics “It's me/hi/I'm the problem/It's me” have quickly become a TikTok trend. The other top 10 songs include “Lavender Haze,” “Maroon,” “Snow on the Beach,” “Midnight Rain,” “Bejeweled," "Karma," "You're on Your Own, Kid" and "Question...?" The numbers are for the week Oct. 21-Oct. 27. This isn't the singer's first time setting a record with her new album. Within one day of the release on Oct. 21, "Midnights" became Spotify's most streamed album.

Brother of suspect in California family’s killing arrested SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The younger brother of a man suspected in the kidnapping and killings of an 8-month-old baby, her parents and an uncle, was arrested on suspicion he helped his brother destroy evidence, authorities said Friday. Alberto Salgado, 41, was arrested late Thursday and accused of criminal conspiracy, accessory, and destroying evidence, the Merced County Sheriff’s Office said. He’s booked in the Merced County Jail — the same place where suspect Jesus Salgado, 48, is being held on kidnapping and murder charges. It wasn’t clear whether either brother had a lawyer who could speak on their behalf. The bodies of Aroohi Dheri; her mother Jasleen Kaur, 27; father Jasdeep Singh, 36; and uncle Amandeep Singh, 39, were found by a farm worker late Wednesday in an almond orchard in a remote area in the San Joaquin Valley, California’s agricultural heartland. Jesus Salgado — a convicted felon who tried to kill himself a day after the kidnappings — had worked for the family’s trucking business and had a longstanding feud with them, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told The Associated Press Thursday. He was treated at a hospital before being taken to jail. Warnke had said detectives were also seeking a person of interest believed to be his accomplice. Relatives of the victims and fellow members of the Punjabi Sikh community, meanwhile, were shocked by the killings. At a vigil Thursday evening in downtown Merced, hundreds of people held lit candles and formed a circle of around enlarged photos of the victims. Religious leaders of different faiths opened the ceremony with prayers for the family, the Merced Sun-Star reported. “Tonight was the community coming together and showing the Singh family that ‘we’re here with you and we will be here with you for as long as you need us, and we will remember the names of those we lost,’” family friend Priya Lakireddy told the newspaper. The city of Merced, where the family lived and had their trucking business, will hold evening vigils in their memory through Sunday. The older Salgado was previously convicted of first-degree robbery with the use of a firearm in Merced County, attempted false imprisonment and an attempt to prevent or dissuade a victim or witness. Sentenced to 11 years in state prison in that case, he was released in 2015 and discharged from parole three years later, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He also has a conviction for possession of a controlled substance, the department said. Relatives of Salgado contacted authorities and told them he had admitted to them his involvement in the kidnapping, Warnke told KFSN-TV on Tuesday. Salgado tried to take his own life before police arrived at a home in Atwater — where an ATM card belonging to one of the victims was used after the kidnapping — about 9 miles (14 kilometers) north of Merced. Efforts to reach Salgado’s family were unsuccessful Friday. The victims were Punjabi Sikhs, a community that has a significant presence in the trucking business in central California where many of them drive trucks, own trucking companies or other businesses associated with trucking. Public records show the family owns Unison Trucking Inc. and relatives said they had opened an office in the last few weeks in a parking lot the Singh brothers also operated. The feud with Salgado dated back a year, the sheriff said, and “got pretty nasty” in text messages or emails. Other details about Salgado’s employment and the nature of the dispute were not immediately available. Warnke said he believes the family was killed within an hour of the Monday morning kidnapping, when they were taken at gunpoint from their business. Their bodies were found near the town of Dos Palos, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Merced. Warnke on Thursday would not discuss the condition of the adults’ remains in the orchard but said it was unclear how the baby died. Warnke said the child was the only one with no visible trauma and an autopsy will be conducted. Surveillance video showed the suspect — later identified as Salgado — leading the Singh brothers, who had their hands zip-tied behind their backs, into the back seat of Amandeep Singh’s pickup truck. He drove the brothers away and returned several minutes later. The suspect then went back to the trailer that served as the business office and led Jasleen Kaur, who was carrying her baby in her arms, out and into the truck before the suspect drove them away shortly before 9:30 a.m. Hours later, firefighters on Monday found Amandeep Singh’s truck on fire in the town of Winton, 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Merced. Police officers went to Amandeep Singh’s home, where a family member tried to reach him and the couple. When they were not able to reach their family members, they called the sheriff’s office to report them missing. They were likely already dead. ___ Dazio reported from Los Angeles.

Supreme Court ruling takes side of doctors convicted of pain pill schemes WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday ruled for doctors who face criminal charges for overprescribing powerful pain medication in a case arising from the opioid addiction crisis. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the court that prosecutors must prove that doctors knew they were illegally prescribing powerful pain drugs in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act. The ruling came as the U.S. has been seeing record numbers of drug overdose deaths, many from the highly lethal opioid fentanyl. Evaluating the convictions of two doctors who are each facing more than two decades in prison, the justices ruled on a subject on which advocates for patients and doctors had urged the court to distinguish between criminal behavior and medical errors made in good faith. It did so in the ruling. Prosecutors, Breyer wrote, “must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knowingly or intentionally acted in an unauthorized manner.” Fear of aggressive prosecution already has led doctors to avoid prescribing opioids “against their best medical judgment,” the National Pain Advocacy Center told the court in a written filing. But the justices did not throw out the convictions of two doctors whose appeal was heard in February. Instead, it ordered federal appeals courts to take a new look at their cases. The court ruled on appeals from Xiulu Ruan of Mobile, Alabama, and Shakeel Kahn, who practiced medicine in Ft. Mohave, Arizona, and Casper, Wyoming. Ruan is serving a 21-year federal prison term. Kahn is in prison for up to 25 years. They will get another chance to argue that their convictions should be overturned. Ruan and a partner, James Couch, were convicted of overprescribing medications at their Physicians Pain Specialists of Alabama clinic and a pharmacy. Kahn was convicted of conspiracy to unlawfully distribute and dispense controlled substances resulting in death, including oxycodone, an opioid pain reliever, and fentanyl, a synthetic opioid. Jessica Burch, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, was a patient of Kahn’s who died from an overdose in 2015. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

JERUSALEM, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hadassah Cancer Research Institute (HCRI) at the Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, announced today that it is leading CancerRNA (www.cancerna.info), a global consortium that aims to apply RNA-based therapeutics to successfully unlock anti-cancer immune responses. While RNA-based therapies, namely mRNA vaccines, shined during the pandemic and saved millions of lives, they have yet to be successfully tested in cancer therapies. The HCRI hosted the opening meeting and workshops of CancerRNA in Jerusalem this month to plan, collaborate and advance the aims of this groundbreaking international consortium to impact the future of cancer treatment. The CanceRNA team, led by Professor Michal Lotem, MD, Head of HCRI, the Center for Melanoma and Cancer Immunotherapy, and Prof. Rotem Karni Department Chair at Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, will focus on two main goals. First, will be harnessing the modulation of RNA processing to increase the immunogenicity of "cold" cancers which lack genomic mutations, to exploit abnormal transcripts and evoke immune response; and second, enhancing the activity of the immune system by retargeting immune effector cells, modulating RNA splicing of key immune receptors and developing personalized mRNA vaccines. This multi-disciplined team is composed of international leaders in the fields of RNA research, clinicians and biotech-pharma experts in RNA processing, RNA drug design and delivery, biocomputing and immuno-oncology: Wolf Prize Laureate Prof. Lynne Maquat of the University of Rochester; Prof. Maria Carmo Fonseca of the University of Lisbon; Prof. Juan Valcarcel of the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona; Prof. Tanja DeGruijl of the University of Amsterdam; Prof. Niels Schaft of the University of Erlangen; Erez Levanon of Bar Ilan University; Seth Salpeter of Immunyx; Pablo Menendez of Jose Carreras Leukemia Institute in Spain; Evelien Smits of the University of Brussels; and Regine Shevach, Simon Geissler and Daniel Helman of Merck. "CanceRNA will initially focus on two cancer types, acute myeloid leukemia, relevant for pediatric cancer, and uveal melanoma, both of which harbor splicing factor mutations and that are generally refractory to immunotherapy," said Professor Lotem. "Our hope is to utilize RNA-based therapeutics to overcome what until now, have been key barriers to successful anti-cancer immune responses. " "The combination of experts from all over Europe in the fields of RNA biology, immunology, bioinformatics and drug transport will propel the development of the next generation of immunotherapy cancer treatments," added co-CanceRNA leader, Professor Rotem Karni, Chair of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School. Visit www.cancerna.info, for more information on CanceRNA. About CanceRNA: CanceRNA aims to impact the future of cancer treatment by developing and validating novel RNA-based therapeutics. This three-year project comprises multi-disciplinary activities to assess in-vitro and in-vivo validation, bioinformatics, delivery, and safety based on new and effective modalities of immunotherapy for cancer treatment. The CanceRNA team of researchers and scientists will be harnessing the modulation of RNA processing to enhance the accessibility and immune susceptibility of the tumor and its microenvironment, while working to enhance the activity of the immune system by retargeting immune effector cells, modulating RNA splicing of key immune receptors and developing personalized mRNA vaccines.

About the Hadassah Cancer Research Institute: Hadassah Cancer Research Institute (HCRI) is a translational research arm of Hadassah Medical Organization and Sharett Cancer Center in Jerusalem. Discoveries made in HCRI labs are a driver of clinical progress and beyond. With advanced labs focused on excellence areas of research in: Immuno Oncology, Cancer Epigenetics, Early Cancer Detection, Cell Therapy, Bioinformatics and a Biobank, our physicians and researchers are developing a multi-disciplined, multi-institution approach to discovering the next-generation treatments to fight cancer.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate MOSCOW (AP) — A fire in a cafe in the Russian city of Kostroma killed 15 people and injured five others on Saturday, local authorities said. The blaze erupted in the early hours after someone apparently used a flare gun during a dispute, authorities said. Rescuers were able to evacuate 250 people. The governor of the Kostroma region, Sergei Sitnikov, said five people were slightly injured and received medical assistance. The roof of the cafe collapsed during the fire. A criminal investigation has been launched, and the police are searching for the person who used the flare gun. Kostroma, a riverside city of 270,000, is located roughly 340 kilometers (210 miles) north of Moscow. It wasn't the first time that pyrotechnics caused a deadly fire at a recreational venue in Russia. In 2009, more than 150 people were killed in a blaze at the Lame Horse nightclub in the city of Perm that erupted after someone set off fireworks.

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — After cheerleaders welcomed him, after receiving the largest ovation of any Yokohama player at the start of the game, Trevor Bauer delivered what was expected on Wednesday in his debut with the Yokohama DeNA Baystars. Bauer pitched his first official game in just over 22 months after the Los Angeles Dodgers released him earlier this year following claims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Bauer, scattered seven hits in 7 innings, allowed one run, struck out 9 and threw 98 pitches in a 4-1 victory against the Hiroshima Carp before 33,202, which the team said was a record. The highlight might have been Bauer’s batting. Pitchers still bat in Japan’s Central League, where the DH is not used. Bauer grounded out once and put down a perfect sacrifice bunt in the fifth, which led to Yokohama’s go-ahead run. He also struck out. The only blemish was a a bases-empty home run in the second to fellow American Matt Davidson, who played with Bauer with the Cincinnati Reds in 2020. “My ex-teammate got me,” Bauer said. “I don’t know how far it went. I talked to him before his next at-bat and I said: ‘Why do you have to do that to me?’” Bauer’s first game has been long awaited in Yokohama, which has not won the Japanese season championship since 1998. Bauer is expected to deliver with the team now leading the Central League. Osaka club Orix leads the Pacific League. “I felt great,” Bauer said. “I just felt normal, the body felt good: command, velocity, results. All good. It was a great day.” He even tried a few words of Japanese, addressing the fans after the game. Roughly translated he said: “I win in Yokohama.” Fans applauded and understood immediately. He said teammates were teaching him. “I have to make sure they’re not telling me to say something wrong,” he said. Bauer was asked by Japanese reporters what he was thinking about just before the game. His reply suggested he was feeling some pressure. “My nose started bleeding,” he said. “That’s what was on my mind coming to the field.” Yokohama signed Bauer for a reported $4 million, and he also gets millions more in termination pay from the Dodgers. Billboards all over town announced his arrival, including a seven-story poster that went up Wednesday on the side of a Yokohama department store. Bauer arrives with a baseball pedigree as the 2020 Cy Young Award winner, and also claims of sexual assault and domestic violence that have kept him out of playing in the majors for almost two years. Bauer was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers this year after an arbitrator reduced his 324-game suspension to 194 games for violating the domestic violence and sexual assault policy of MLB and the players’ association. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred suspended Bauer in April of last year after a San Diego woman said he beat and sexually abused her in 2021. Bauer disputed her claims and said everything that happened between them was consensual. He was never charged with a crime and a California judge found the woman’s claims “materially misleading.” Bauer could have joined any MLB team for this season, but no teams wanted him — or if they did, they didn’t sign him. Bauer, as he has before, lauded the atmosphere at Japanese stadiums, where there is a constant din of chants, songs and drums beating with fans always participating. “The atmosphere in the U.S. doesn’t compare to here at all,” Bauer said. “The only time it comes anywhere close is sometimes in playoff baseball. I played in a World Series in 2016 and the Cleveland stadium was very loud. But the sustained energy here is just so much different.” His debut came after three appearances with Yokohama’s farm clubs, where he had 17 strikeouts in 16 innings with a 2.25 ERA. Japanese fans have welcomed him, women have not organized to protest his presence, and he’s being given the benefit of the doubt For his part, he’s talking up every aspect of playing in Japan. “I just want to win,” Bauer said. “I want to contribute to that. I want to pitch well. I want to entertain the fans.” Yokohama fan Shohei Horikawa stood inside Yokohama’s stadium and summed up what many Japanese feel. “I know he had some issues in the past, but he was not convicted,” Horikawa said, wearing a Bauer No. 96 jersey. “I want him to reset himself in Japan without any prejudice and to do his best.” ___ Associated Press video journalist Koji Ueda contributed to this report. ___ Follow Japan-based AP Sports Writer Stephen Wade on Twitter at http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP ___ AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/apf-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Dog electrocuted at holiday light show, owner says PUYALLUP, Wash. (KOMO) - A fun night looking at Christmas lights at the state fairgrounds turned to tragedy for Vyctoria Sanchez. “It was a huge safety hazard, and they didn’t even recognize it until my dog was dead,” she said. The Gig Harbor woman was with her dog, Maverick, a service dog in training, on Friday at the Holiday Magic event. She claims her friend first felt an electric jolt before Maverick was electrocuted near one of the light displays. “He fell to the ground and started crying for me to help him, and that’s when fair staff immediately called medics to come over there because he wasn’t moving. He was just crying. And I wanted to help him so bad,” Sanchez said. Medics gave oxygen to the 9-month-old dog, but he never recovered. Sanchez is calling out the fairgrounds, saying they should have done more to make sure all areas of the facility were safe before opening their event to the public. “With an event, especially like that, you have a lot of lights, you have a lot of kids and people bringing their families. You should’ve done the proper safety checks to ensure something like this wouldn’t happen,” Sanchez said. A spokesperson with the state fairgrounds confirmed an investigation found an issue with an underground wire. She added they have done a comprehensive review of the grounds and added additional enhanced safety measures, adding safety is their top priority. But Sanchez said she’s left broken, helpless and angry. “It’s not enough to just offer me your condolences. I mean, nothing could be done in that moment, but something could’ve been done prior to prevent what happened,” Sanchez said. Copyright 2022 KOMO via CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.

("Sema4" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SMFR) securities during the period from March 14, 2022 through August 15, 2022 inclusive (the "Class Period"). Sema4 shareholders may, no later than November 7, 2022, move the Court for appointment as a lead plaintiff of the Class.

Maniskas, Esquire toll-free at (844) 291-9299 or to sign up online, click here. According to the complaint, on August 15, 2022, the Company announced changes to its research and development leadership team, including that Eric Schadt was stepping down from his roles as President and Chief R&D Officer. The Company also disclosed that it was eliminating approximately 13% of its workforce as part of a series of restructuring and corporate realignments. During the related conference call, Sema4 revealed that it had "reversed $30.1 million of revenue this quarter related to prior periods," in connection with negotiations with "one of [Sema4's] larger commercial payors regarding the potential recoupment of payments for Sema4 carrier screening services rendered from 2018 to early 2022." On this news, Sema4's stock fell $0.80, or 33.3%, to close at $1.60 per share on August 16, 2022.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana’s House gave final passage Friday to a bill banning the social media app TikTok from operating in the state, a move that’s bound to face legal challenges but also serve as a testing ground for the TikTok-free America many national lawmakers envision due to concerns over potential Chinese spying. The House voted 54-43 in favor of the measure, which would make Montana the first state with a total ban on the app. It goes further than prohibitions already put in place by nearly half the states — including Montana — and the U.S. federal government that prohibit TikTok on government-owned devices. The measure now goes to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, who declined to say Friday if he plans to sign it into law. A statement provided by spokesperson Brooke Metrione said the governor “will carefully consider” all bills the Legislature sends to his desk. Gianforte banned TikTok on state government devices last year, saying at the time that the app posed a “significant risk” to sensitive state data. TikTok spokesperson Brooke Oberwetter promised a legal challenge over the measure’s constitutionality, saying the bill’s supporters “have admitted that they have no feasible plan” to enforce “this attempt to censor American voices.” The company “will continue to fight for TikTok users and creators in Montana whose livelihoods and First Amendment rights are threatened by this egregious government overreach,” Oberwetter said. TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese tech company ByteDance, has been under intense scrutiny over worries it could hand over user data to the Chinese government or push pro-Beijing propaganda and misinformation on the platform. Leaders at the FBI and the CIA and numerous lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, have raised such concerns but have not presented any evidence that it has happened. Ban supporters point to two Chinese laws that compel companies in the country to cooperate with the government on state intelligence work. They also cite troubling episodes such as a disclosure by ByteDance in December that it fired four employees who accessed the IP addresses and other data of two journalists while attempting to uncover the source of a leaked report about the company. Congress is considering legislation that does not single out TikTok specifically but gives the Commerce Department the ability more broadly to restrict foreign threats on tech platforms. That bill is being backed by the White House, but it has received pushback from privacy advocates, right-wing commentators and others who say the language is too expansive. TikTok has said it has a plan to protect U.S. user data. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, whose office drafted the state’s legislation, said in a social media post Friday that the bill “is a critical step to ensuring we are protecting Montanans’ privacy,” even as he acknowledged that a court battle looms. The measure would prohibit downloads of TikTok in the state and would fine any “entity” — an app store or TikTok — $10,000 per day for each time someone “is offered the ability” to access or download the app. There would not be penalties for users. The ban would not take effect until January 2024 and would become void if Congress passes a national measure or if TikTok severs its connections with China. The bill was introduced in February, just weeks after a Chinese spy balloon drifted over Montana, but had been drafted prior to that. A representative from the tech trade group TechNet told state lawmakers that app stores do not have the ability to geofence apps on a state-by-state basis, so the Apple App Store and Google Play Store could not enforce the law. Ashley Sutton, TechNet’s executive director for Washington state and the northwest, said Thursday that the “responsibility should be on an app to determine where it can operate, not an app store.” Knudsen, the attorney general, has said that apps for online gambling can be disabled in states that do not allow it, so the same should be possible for TikTok. ___ Hadero reported from New York.

(WWLP) — Batman Day is celebrated each year on the third Saturday in September: honoring the films, TV shows and comics in the Caped Crusader’s 83-year existence. This year, Cinemark theatres are showing three Bat-sterpieces in most U.S. states on Sept. 17. Fire up the Batmobile and head to the theater! The schedule for films are all in local time: - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) — 2:15 p.m. This big-screen extension of the beloved “Batman: The Animated Series,” finds Bruce Wayne/Batman taking on a new threat in Gotham — the mysterious and ghoulish Phantasm. Which of Bruce’s acquaintances hides behind the shroud and why are they targeting some of the city’s most powerful people? Did you know? “Mask of the Phantasm” was a commercial flop upon its release but has generated a fierce cult following in the following decades. Cinema news outlet ScreenRant named it the best animated Batman movie of all-time just this year. - Batman (1989) — 4:30 p.m. It’s the live-action film that truly began Batman’s silver screen reign (though it’s not the first live action “Batman” movie). Director Tim Burton puts extra goth in Gotham all while centering Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) against his arch-nemesis, the Joker (played by a properly over-the-top Jack Nicholson). Some of the series’ most signature aesthetics originate with 1989’s “Batman,” as does a soundtrack by Prince. “Batdance,” anyone? - Batman Returns (1992) — 7:25 p.m. This year marks the 30th anniversary of this triple-header of the Bat, the Bird and the Cat. In his second (and so far final) appearance, Keaton reprises his role as Batman and takes on not one but two villains, the nefarious mayoral candidate Penguin (Danny DeVito) and the mischievous bombshell Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer). “Batman Returns” — sometimes cheekily considered a Christmas movie — is the final entry by Burton in the franchise. These Batman Day special releases will be screened Sept. 17 in all states (and Puerto Rico) except Hawaii, Nebraska, Missouri, Vermont, and Wyoming. Washington D.C. residents will also have to wait for a chance to see Danny DeVito ride a giant rubber duck through the sewer. Tickets are on sale now at participating theatres. Batman in the movies All-in-all there have been 15 major-release Batman films, in addition to at least 49 direct-to-video outings. In a ranking based on critical reviews, 2008’s “The Dark Knight” is consider the “top” Batman film, with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s followed by 2017’s animated “The Lego Batman Movie” (second), “The Dark Knight Rises” (third), “The Batman” (2022, fourth), and “Batman Begins” (fifth). Entertainment and gaming site IGN also ranked the Christopher Nolan-directed “Dark Knight” as the best batman movie this year.

WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) — In the morning before school starts, Richard Chamberlain finds his bus, goes through his list of safety checks, and hits the road to pick up students along his route. "Overall, it's very enjoyable," Richard Chamberlain said. "Very satisfying." He started driving in April last year because he wanted to help with the bus driver shortage in Clark County. "I'm thankful to be able to do it," he said. "I'm glad they put up with me and trained me and now I'm part of a team." It took about four months to get his CDL license and to be trained for the job. As a part-time sub, he could be driving one of 20-30 routes in Clark County on any given day for students K-12. Therefore, he is given a route sheet that has addresses he needs to stop at along the way to help him navigate. The job is quite a departure from his career as an OB/GYN. He delivered more than 10,000 babies over his 35 years as a doctor before retiring in 2019. "When you're practicing as a doctor, you're actually serving people," Dr. Chamberlain said. "And then, I wasn't serving as much and so this gives me an opportunity to serve because the true joy in life is actually serving. When you serve people that's when you get true joy and happiness in life." "I think it empowers the community," Clark County Schools district and community relations coordinator, Sylan Mayes, said. "I think Dr. Chamberlain is selfless for doing this. I think it sets the tone for how we want to — as a district — look at our community and how we give back." Anyone interested in applying to be a bus driver in Clark County can do so here.

Saudi Arabia shows no sign of backing down in the face of U.S. pushback to its decision to cut oil production, part of Riyadh’s strategy to flex its foreign policy influence more forcefully. Saudi officials insist that the highly criticized decision to cut oil production to keep prices high is purely economical, pushing back on attacks they are siding with Russia over its war in Ukraine. Democrats have furiously called to freeze military sales and cooperation with the kingdom as Republicans largely remain quiet, saying U.S. ties to the powerful Gulf nation are too strategic to risk. Experts say Riyadh is trying to find a balance between the U.S. and Russia, concerned that Washington is retreating from the Middle East but cautious to avoid severing the relationship completely. “The Saudis have tried to thread the needle between the Americans and the Russians, in part because they are distrustful of the United States,” said Samuel Ramini, associate fellow at Royal United Services Institute. “I don’t think it’s going to be a long-term rift, it’s just going to be one of those major ups and downs in the American-Saudi relationship, and, today, here’s another down.” President Biden’s highly publicized fistbump with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah in July did little, in Riyadh’s eyes, to make up for his campaign comments pledging to treat the kingdom as a pariah in the wake of it killing Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi, experts say. And the administration’s pursuit of reviving the nuclear deal with Iran — as well as lingering upset from the Trump administration over what the kingdom viewed as an insignificant response to Iranian drone attacks on the Aramco oil facilities in Abqaiq — have hardened their position. “They’ve been really interested in strategic diversification, in reaching out to other powers,” said Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. “Over the last 10 to 15 years, [Riyadh] slowly developed this sense that the U.S. is checking out, even though it has this huge military apparatus in the region, it’s sort of checked out in a way.” Saudi Arabia is America’s largest foreign military equipment customer, amounting to about $100 billion in sales between 2009 and 2020, a relationship that benefits the U.S. for the influx of investment, but also allows the U.S. and Saudi militaries to work closely together on security concerns. Approximately 2,700 U.S. troops are stationed in the country. Selling U.S. military hardware to Saudi Arabia is also meant as a bulwark to prevent Russia and China from gaining a foothold. The Saudis have welcomed efforts from the Biden administration to smooth over some rocky parts of the relationship. This includes closer consultation about the administration’s intent to revive the nuclear deal with Iran. Saudi moves, such as allowing Biden to fly from Tel Aviv to Jeddah in July and opening up its airspace to Israeli flights, are viewed as the kingdom showing the soft side in its relationship with Washington. But they are resisting pressure to publicly open relations with Israel, and the OPEC+ decision last month, in which the members of the group agreed to cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day, is a further sign the kingdom is not too concerned with Washington’s opinion. “Our decisions on production levels are strictly determined by supply and demand and market fundamentals,” Fahad Nazer, spokesperson for the Saudi Embassy in the U.S., told CNN on Monday. “So political issues, political considerations do not take effect, they do not have a role.” Aaron David Miller, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said that economic argument may be true, but bin Salman likely didn’t care about political implications with the U.S. “The Saudis could not have been this obtuse not to understand that weeks before a midterm — that’s going to turn on inflation, and a large part of that is scarcity of crude oil and rising gas prices — that this would not be perceived as a political blow against the president,” Miller said. The OPEC+ decision triggered fury from the White House and Democrats, who accused Riyadh of siding with Moscow, saying the high price of oil will continue to fuel Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ability to conduct his war in Ukraine. Ibish said that any benefit to Russia is not a concern in Riyadh. “The key thing I think for the Saudi’s is, Russia is really important because of the OPEC+ deal. They have this crucial national security issue that is not really appreciated here enough, which is they have about 25 years to transform their economy,” he said. “In the context of the Ukraine war… [it] looks like helping Russia, that’s not the way they’re thinking about that. They’re thinking about their own plans, which is dire for them. But it looks to the Western world like ‘Oh you’re backing up the Russians.’” Saudi officials say their actions have made clear they support Ukraine, even as they maintain relations with Russia. “We have actually been in touch with the leadership of Ukraine and with Russia, we have offered to mediate between the two because we do maintain good relations with both,” Nazer said Monday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not issued any criticism. Riyadh helped broker a prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia earlier last month, and then announced $400 million in humanitarian assistance for Kyiv a week ago. Riyadh also points to its votes at the United Nations General Assembly, rejecting Russia’s referenda of Ukrainian territory on Oct. 12 and condemning its invasion during a vote held in March. Zelensky spoke with bin Salman and thanked him for “supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity, resolution at the UN General Assembly” and that the two “agreed on the provision of [Saudi] macro-financial aid to Ukraine.” Days later, the Saudi Foreign Ministry tweeted a photo of Ukraine’s ambassador to the kingdom meeting with the Saudi Deputy Minister for International Multilateral Affairs, saying the two “reviewed bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Ukraine and regional and international developments of common interest.” While Biden is facing blowback from Democratic lawmakers, the administration is unlikely to punish Riyadh severely. White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby on Thursday said the administration’s review of its relationship with Saudi Arabis “ongoing,” but would not put a timeline on taking action. “We’re not going to rush this.” Jon Alterman, the director of the Center for Strategic & International Studies’ Middle East Program, said the administration is unlikely “to be punitive for the sake of being punitive.” “But the Saudi strategy is a strategy of getting a lot of the benefits of being closely aligned with the United States while having increasingly close ties to adversaries of the United States. And in times of war, that’s a hard gap to straddle,” Alterman said.

(KXNET) — In 2021, there were more than 2,000 sexual assault cases reported in North Dakota. Being a survivor of sexual assault is tough and having to tell, someone, like an officer or official your story is even tougher. Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard a bill that aims to assist sexual assault victims in our state and get past the set time limit they have to seek justice. Senate Bill 2282 aims to extend the statute of limitations in civil cases for those alleging sexual assault, sexual abuse, gross sexual imposition, or childhood sexual abuse. In simple terms, would open a two-year window for survivors of these crimes who were previously unable to pursue civil actions due to the statute of limitations law. The bill was put to work by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and although they rejected a two-year window clause, an expansion was added. Senator Jonathan Sickler, who sits on the judiciary committee, says the thought behind this is that minors at the moment sometimes are not aware that they are victims. “Adults would have nine years from the underlying act to bring a civil action,” explained Senator Jonathan Sickler. “There is a bill that the house has passed nine to zero that would extend the criminal statute of limitations to seven years. The thought is that the criminal action would proceed, and then there are another two years for the alleged victim to bring civil claims after that. For minors, if somebody has a claim from when they were 15 to 18 years old, they would have 21 years after that act to bring a claim. If they’re under 15, that 21 years doesn’t start until they hit age 15.” He also shared that this is one of the toughest issues the committee has dealt with in their sessions by far. “We have heard testimony from women with very strong claims,” stated Senator Sickler. “Things that have happened to them, in some cases decades ago, that they want to be able to seek justice for by bringing civil claims against those folks for the alleged wrong actions,” Although he says this bill does not help them with that directly, it’s more about policy. And that’s what this committee work was all about, giving victims a longer time period to bring forth claims. “When you start to go back in time and try to correct specific cases that maybe didn’t turn out the way that we think,” explained Senator Sickler, ” you may seek justice, or think that you’re getting justice. And even if you do, this opens up other cases that may not have the same justice or injustice. There’s the possibility of stale evidence or people that have died. If you’re talking about entities, their employer may have changed, and people may have changed, too. The committee discussion recognized that this doesn’t fix all the problems to any extent.” The bill was voted on unanimously, giving it a do-pass recommendation. The amended version of the bill will now go to the Senate floor. If adopted, it will move on to the House.

For those folks who may be finding that holiday cheer is harder to come by this year, there is an alternative to the cheery decking of the halls. There is an available option to celebrate a holiday and maintain a healthy dose of grumpiness. That's right, there is Festivus. December 23 is Festivus, a day reserved in history for all who feel that the normal holiday traditions don't quite fit the bill this year. Festivus is a special holiday that in pre-pandemic times was reserved for those more apt to want to embrace their inner "bah humbug" than their Christmas spirit. It's a fair guess that more of us may be in that camp than ever before and the antidote, or at least an outlet that might prove cathartic to us this year, is Festivus. Festivus harks back to sitcoms of years past. The farcical holiday was birthed on the TV show "Seinfeld" on December 18, 1997, when George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, revealed that his father (played by the late Jerry Stiller) created the day to contrast the religious and commercial aspects of the traditional December holidays. Jerry Seinfeld, the protagonist in his namesake show - which ran on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998, with nine seasons and 180 episodes - takes an interest in the holiday and its peculiar rituals. And if we're getting really technical, Festivus may have roots dating back as early as 1966 when "Seinfeld" writer Dan O'Keefe, who introduced Festivus into the plotline, first heard his father dream up the holiday. "Festivus for the rest of us!" is the tagline that caught like wildfire following the episode. The holiday comes complete with a set of traditions befitting this third year of a pandemic and dreariness otherwise, including a drab pole instead of a brightly lit tree. Perhaps most poignant, Festivus tradition also calls for a special ceremony known as the "airing of grievances," where you get to tell the people in your life how they disappointed you. I'm sure if "Seinfeld" were still producing new episodes, they'd expand the Festivus parameters to allow you to complain about the pandemic and everything else that's upside down in your life. I, for one, will happily gather around a scrappy, salvaged pole and complain my head off. I feel better just thinking about all the complaining, about letting 2022 out in one fell swoop of verbal run-ons, all in the name of Festivus! And then I hope I'll feel better and be grateful my family is doing OK, and my toddler will have more fun ripping wrapping paper and playing with the box containing the toy that took forever to arrive. I know that airing my gripes could be cathartic, but too much complaining, like too much of anything, might not be so good for me. When it comes to celebrating Festivus, "The trick to doing so in an emotionally healthy manner is to distinguish between two types of grievances - those we can't do anything about and those we would actually like to resolve," said Guy Winch, a renowned New York-based clinical psychologist who has a following as Dear Guy on TED and as the co-host of the Dear Therapists Podcast, via email. If your grievances are over things out of your control, like not being able to see loved ones or catch the latest movie or dinner out, then "by all means, stand around that pole and vent," Winch said. But if you have some control over the grievance, yelling at a ragged pole with others listening might not be the answer. Opt instead to address the grievance with them directly, or "scream into an abyss but don't create tension and fights that could ruin what would otherwise be a lovely (tongue-in-cheek) celebration of pettiness, misery, whininess, and victimhood," Winch said. Just complaining isn't a helpful strategy, according to Tina Gilbertson, a Denver-based psychotherapist and author of "Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings by Letting Yourself Have Them." "Airing your grievances is only half the battle when it comes to feeling better," she said. "Make sure someone validates the emotions behind each grievance, or do this for yourself. For example, if you say, 'I hate feeling trapped at home,' give it a response like, 'Yes! It's terrible to feel trapped at home.' Every grievance needs a compassionate witness to be healing." For those wanting to get really into the letter of the Festivus law, the pole and grievances are followed by an attempt to literally pin down everyone around you. It could be cathartic to wrestle your housemates and let out some of that extra tension, so long as no one gets hurt. Go ahead, put up your pole and air your grievances. Just maybe leave a tiny pinch of room for positivity if you can, because even George Costanza's father smiled once in a while.

CALIFORNIA, USA — This story was orignally published by CalMatters. The state is moving forward with licensing two dozen nursing homes whose primary owner’s companies have a lengthy track record of problems – as uncovered by a CalMatters investigation – despite a new law designed to provide better oversight of the facilities. The nursing homes in question are owned by Los Angeles businessman Shlomo Rechnitz, who owns dozens of California facilities through a web of companies. One of his main companies, Brius Healthcare, has been scrutinized for poor quality care and inadequate staffing, according to federal and state inspection reports, plaintiffs’ attorneys and press accounts. By 2015, government regulators decertified or threatened to decertify three of Rechnitz’s companies’ California nursing homes, a rare penalty that strips facilities of crucial Medicare and Medi-Cal funding. One of those facilities, Wish-I-Ah Healthcare & Wellness Centre near Fresno, was closed following the death of a 75-year-old resident from a blood infection after staff left behind in her body a foam sponge used in dressing her mastectomy wound. Investigators also found toilets brimming with fecal matter and other serious problems, according to the state’s accusation. The State Auditor’s office in a May 2018 report spotlighted Brius for its higher rate of federal deficiencies and state citations, compared to the rest of the industry in the state. It was via bankruptcy court that Rechnitz scooped up 18 Country Villa-branded nursing homes in 2014. Per state law, he then filed change-of-ownership applications seeking licenses to run those homes. The state didn’t approve or deny them, instead leaving them pending. In the meantime, Rechnitz continued to run the nursing homes for years without a formal license in his name – which isn’t technically illegal. A new law was supposed to close that loophole. But that law, co-authored by Democratic Assemblymembers Al Muratsuchi of Los Angeles and Jim Wood of Santa Rosa, doesn’t go into effect until July 1 — and it focuses on new license applications, rather than those that have been operating in the legal gray area for years. The California Department of Public Health, which oversees the state’s nursing homes, defended the new licensing settlement with Rechnitz, which includes tools for the state to monitor the nursing homes’ performance. The department noted the settlement allows the nursing homes to continue operating, instead of closing and forcing hundreds of residents from their homes. “This settlement resolves longstanding issues we have had with this provider and provides our department stronger enforcement tools to ensure the provider is delivering reasonable and appropriate care to its residents,” Dr. Tomás Aragón, director of the Department of Public Health, said in an emailed statement. “With this settlement, we will continue to monitor the facilities involved with a focus on maintaining that level of care.” Under the settlement announced this week, the state health department agreed to approve license applications for 24 skilled nursing facilities owned by Rechnitz – once the department receives all necessary documents to complete the process. The settlement includes some oversight provisions, including a two-year monitoring period. The health department is to meet with each facility every six months to review the quality of care residents are receiving, and each facility is to provide a slew of documents before the meetings. Deficiencies in care are to result in heightened oversight, including daily phone calls. Failing to comply with those parameters is to result in a fine of $10,000 per failure. An attorney representing Rechnitz’s company Brius did not respond to a phone call or an emailed request for comment. Tony Chicotel, a staff attorney for California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, called the state’s move to license Rechnitz’s nursing homes “sad.” “There’s been longstanding, systematic problems in nursing homes run by this chain,” he said. “We think this is a message to residents of nursing homes in California that their welfare just isn’t all that concerning to the state.” Not all of Rechnitz’s applications had been left pending – some were denied outright. In denying his licensing application for Windsor Healthcare Center of Oakland in 2016, the Department of Public Health said staff at the facility neglected to treat the skin ulcers and pain of six different residents — including a paralyzed resident who was left covered in feces and then hospitalized for sepsis. That facility is now one of the 24 the state is moving toward licensing under the new settlement. The two-dozen facilities also include 13 of the 18 Country Villa properties Rechnitz purchased in 2014. Another one of Rechnitz’s nursing homes was in hot water recently. Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre in Riverside, owned by Rechnitz, and its management company, Rockport Healthcare Services, agreed to pay the state and federal government some $3.8 million over allegations they provided kickbacks to doctors. According to the U.S. Justice Department, Alta Vista gave doctors extravagant gifts – including expensive dinners, limousine rides and massages – in exchange for referring patients to their nursing home between 2009 and 2019. That facility is not included in the new licensing agreement. Chicotel said he’s “disappointed but not surprised” the state is moving to license Rechnitz’s facilities. It was clear that the law taking effect July 1, which he opposed because he said it lacked teeth, would not take existing facilities away from bad operators, he said. Assemblymember Wood’s spokesperson, Cathy Mudge, said he was not aware of the settlement and would not be able to comment on it yet. “This is an important issue to him and he will be asking CDPH for more information,” she said in an email. Assemblymember Muratsuchi’s office did not respond to an email seeking an interview. The new law still has value going forward because it will apply to new cases, said Dr. Michael Wasserman, a geriatrician and chair of public policy for the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine. “I think (it) was meant to keep the type of licensing issues that have occurred in the past from ever happening again,” he said.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro has drawn surprised comments after a gust of wind revealed that he carries a gun tucked in his belt. Ziobro was laying a wreath at a monument to victims of mining disasters in central Poland on Monday when the Glock pistol came into view. Poland, like most European Union countries, have strict rules about acquiring guns and very few people are allowed to own them or carry them in public. Critics on social media commented that the minister mustn’t be confident in the protection he receives as a state figure, but supporters note that Ziobro, who is also prosecutor general, has received death threats. Ziobro said at a news conference on Tuesday that he obtained permission to have a gun after it was revealed some years ago that an organized crime boss had called for his assassination. The man, identified only as Jan S., has been detained for several years and his trial is underway. Ziobro said that he has victim status in the case. “Like any citizen, I have every right to use means that guarantee security to me and to my family,” Ziobro said. At a separate news conference, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that all citizens, including the justice minister, have the right to try to obtain permission to have a gun. Earlier, Ziobro said that he practices shooting at a range on weekends as a hobby. He said he had the gun on him because the alternative was to leave it in the car, which isn’t allowed, as he stopped at the ceremony on his way back to Warsaw at the start of the working week. He said he doesn’t carry the weapon all the time. Ziobro, 52, is head of a small party in the ruling conservative coalition and has strong views, including support for the death penalty. He authored changes to the justice system that have put Poland on a collision course with the 27-nation EU.

Alan White, longtime drummer for Yes, dead at 72 SEATTLE (AP) — Alan White, the longtime drummer for progressive rock pioneers Yes who also played on projects with John Lennon and George Harrison, has died. He was 72. White’s death was announced on his Facebook page by his family. The post said he died at his Seattle-area home Thursday after a brief illness. Just days earlier Yes had announced that due to health issues White would not take part in the band’s upcoming tour of the United Kingdom to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic album “Close to the Edge.” White joined Yes in 1972, replacing original drummer Bill Bruford. In a band noted for frequent lineup changes, White was a constant and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017. Though he didn’t play on “Close to the Edge,” he performed on every subsequent Yes studio album over nearly five decades, including the band’s latest release, “The Quest,” which came out last year. White stayed with the band through its many iterations. A trailblazing act in the progressive rock scene in England that grew in popularly in the early 1970s alongside bands like Genesis, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, Yes was especially know for its intricate arrangements and the musical skill of its individual members. When progressive rock fell out of fashion in the late 1970s many of the bands associated with the genre struggled. Following another lineup change, Yes, with White still behind the drum kit, reinvented itself in the 1980s as a harder edged band that appealed to younger listeners more attuned to heavy metal and the visual cues of music videos. In 1983 Yes released the smash hit album “90125.” A longtime Seattle-area resident, White was born in Pelton, County Durham, England, in 1949. His family said he began piano lessons at age 6 and playing the drums when he was 12. White played with bands in England throughout the 1960s. In 1969, he was asked by John Lennon to join his Plastic Ono Band. In an interview with The Seattle Times in 2021, White said he thought the call from the famous Beatle was a prank. “A voice announced, ‘Hello, this is John Lennon,’” White said. “I thought it was a mate pulling my leg, put the receiver down, and went back to the kitchen.” White played a 1969 concert in Toronto with Lennon’s band, which also included guitarist Eric Clapton. White also played with another Beatle, contributing drums to George Harrison’s 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass.” In the statement announcing his death, his family wrote: “Alan was many things to many people: a certified rock star to fans around the world; band mate to a select few, and gentleman and friend to all who met him.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

Ke Huy Quan gave the 80th annual Golden Globe awards the redemption moment it so desperately needed. Accepting the very first award of the night, as best supporting actor in a film for his standout work on the action/fantasy/comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once, Quan recalled how he thought for years his acting career might never match his early work in movies like The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. "For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer, that no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid," Quan said tearfully, moments after thanking director Steven Spielberg for casting him in Indiana Jones. "Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me. They remembered that kid. And they gave me an opportunity to try again." Ever since the Globes announced plans to return to NBC after a prolonged scandal over a lack of diversity among members and allegations of corruption, cynics wondered: Why should anyone care about this awards show again? Quan's tearful acceptance speech – a moving moment from an actor of color who is making a triumphant return to the craft when his career seemed to be over – provided a perfect answer. If only these Globes could have come up with a few more moments like that. Instead, Tuesday's Globes were an odd hodgepodge of expected awards (Cate Blanchette as best actress in a film drama for Tar; Steven Spielberg as best director of a film drama for The Fablemans), awards that didn't make much sense (the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon as best TV drama over Better Call Saul and Severance?), and awards that were cool, but still kind of head-scratchers (Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams as best supporting actor on a TV show over Severance's John Turturro or Barry's Henry Winkler?) In the end, the Globes had to make three arguments Tuesday: that it has survived its past scandals to become a better organization; that it still matters as an important benchmark in an awards season topped by The Oscars. And that it's still Hollywood's coolest party - the tipsy, uninhibited yin to the stuffy, traditional yang of The Oscars. This year's program showed they've still got a lot of work to do on every front. Here are a few reasons why: When you pick a host for a show that bills itself as Hollywood's "party of the year," maybe hire someone who actually wants to party? I get why Jerrod Carmichael started the Globes by telling everyone to be quiet while he walked them through a sardonic story on how he decided to take the host's job. He even dropped a few great lines like: "One minute, you're making mint tea at home, the next, you're invited to be the Black face of an embattled white organization." But ultimately, that was a bummer of a way to start an awards show whose original claim to fame was that it was a wild, fun party. And Carmichael never really found his groove after that awkward, biting, sometimes funny-sometimes-not monologue – telling the audience to be quiet so much, he sounded more like a hall monitor than somebody trying to encourage everyone to have a good time. Worse, some of Carmichael's attempts at edgy humor weren't quite funny enough to get past the edge to be entertaining. Like his joke about taking the three Golden Globes Tom Cruise returned – he gave them back in protest during the Globes' scandals – and trading them for the wife of the Church of Scientology's leader (critics of the church, of which Cruise is a longtime member, have alleged she has been missing for years.) Though I did love the moment when Carmichael told Spielberg he watched The Fablemans with Kanye West and the movie was so good it changed Ye's mind about his anti-Semitism. In an odd way Carmichael's uneven performance summed up the confused spirit of the show — which couldn't quite decide if it was going to party on in hopes people forgot its past scandals or offer up a show so smart and incisive all would see they had transcended them. Diversity among some winners brought powerful moments, but ... The Globes tried mightily to showcase diversity. The first three winners of the night were non-white performers: Quan, Williams and Angela Bassett as supporting actress for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Quan's Everything Everywhere co-star Michelle Yeoh finally got her flowers for a 40-year career navigating Hollywood's often-terrible treatment of Asian performers and women of a certain age. "When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true...until I (got) here," she quipped, jokingly threatening to beat up producers if they tried to play her off with music before her speech was done. "Someone said to me: 'You speak English?'...I said, 'Yeah, the flight here was about 13 hours long, so I learned.'" Producer/director Ryan Murphy, accepting the Carol Burnett award for TV achievement, used his acceptance speech to highlight LGBTQ performers he had worked with who had been pressured to hide their identities, like Pose stars Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Jeremy Pope and Billy Porter. "My mission was to take the invisible, the unloved, and make them the heroes I long to see but never did in pop culture," he added. Still, even with all these wonderful moments, there were too many great performances and projects by people of color left out – from movies like Till and Nope to TV shows like Reservation Dogs, Atlanta and Pachinko. Which left a feeling that the Globes have only just begun to make up for their past missed opportunities. Playing winners off with music during emotional acceptance speeches kills one of the biggest elements of the show. This is a mistake too many awards show producers make, including those at the Globes. Early in the night, Carmichael and a few presenters seemed to take their time, eating up precious minutes and throwing the show off schedule. This forces producers to curb the amount of time winners have for their speeches so they can end the show on time for the broadcast network – even during showcase moments like Yeoh's long-awaited win, Spielberg's acceptance of the best film drama award for The Fablemans or Quinta Brunson's win as best TV comedy for the show she created, Abbott Elementary. They even played off filmmakers trying to talk about the struggle for democracy in Argentina (Argentina, 85). Worse, the show had a pianist onscreen who was getting blamed for playing people off, but the music was pre-recorded and coming from the producers, as the pianist herself explained on Twitter. I would never play piano over people’s speeches!! I’m only playing when you see me on camera! #goldenglobes — Chloe Flower (@ChloeFlower) January 11, 2023 Bottom line: emotional, eloquent acceptance speeches are what viewers love and what critics like me talk about the next day. Setting up a situation where you're rushing big winners through their moment helps no one – especially the onscreen pianist unfairly blamed for the music. Making fun of weather emergencies is rarely wise Because some celebrities chose not to attend the Globes on principle – like nominee Brendan Fraser (The Whale) – the show went out of its way to tell the audience when a celebrity wasn't present because they were working or otherwise indisposed. These announcements could lead to some suspicion and snark, including when Regina Hall made fun of the idea that inclement weather trapped Yellowstone star Kevin Costner in Santa Barbara and kept him from accepting his award as best actor in a TV drama. But Costner had released his own video on social media explaining that heavy rain had washed out the roads in his area and he truly had intended to attend the ceremony – which highlights the dangers of snarking before you know all the facts (and yes, I snarked too, until I saw Costner's video). .@goldenglobes @Yellowstone pic.twitter.com/e1ysn2o02k — Kevin Costner & MW (@modernwest) January 11, 2023 Even when his acceptance speech is just a few minutes long, Eddie Murphy knows how to bring down the house. To be honest, I was hoping Murphy would speak longer during his acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille award – a lifetime achievement honor for one of the most influential comics in film or TV. But he offered a short, serious speech where he thanked family, friends and colleagues, before ending with three things he said were the key to success and happiness in Hollywood. "Pay your taxes. Mind your business. And keep Will Smith's wife's name out your mother f—ing mouth!" Now that's the kind of in-your-face, irreverent funny bit that the Golden Globes could have used a lot more of.

Which winter boots for men are best? Winter is right around the corner, so it’s almost time to break out your cold-weather clothing. Protecting your extremities is crucial, so you’ll want to ensure you have a reliable pair of boots. There are many to choose from, but the best, such as the Sorel Caribou Boots, offer excellent water protection and long-lasting comfort. They’re also packed with plenty of insulation to keep your feet warm in extreme weather. What to know before you buy winter boots for men Size Wearing the correct size is essential to prevent injury because if winter boots are too big, there’s a greater risk of tripping or falling. On the other hand, boots that are too tight can cause discomfort and make it difficult to walk. Boot size varies depending on the model, as some run large or small, but keep in mind that if you want to wear thick socks for warmth, it’s best to get a pair slightly larger than your regular size. Boot height The shaft height of your winter boots is entirely up to you, but it’s best to wear a pair that extends well above the ankles for colder temperatures. However, taller winter boots are bulkier than low-cut boots, so a low ankle cut is good for mild winter days with minimal rain or snow. Commuting boots vs. work boots Work boots are much bulkier than standard winter boots you might use for commuting to work or school. They have a sturdy build that protects your feet from moisture and a toe cap for added safety from collisions and heavy objects. Some work boots are lightweight enough to wear for commuting, but if you want something more fashionable, it’s best to look for traditional winter boots. What to look for in quality winter boots for men Materials Winter boots that can handle inclement weather have a sturdy build and are made with high-quality materials that don’t wear out or tear easily. Nylon and synthetic leather are commonly used for the upper, providing excellent moisture protection. Insulation If you live where temperatures drop below 30 degrees, you’ll need adequate protection for your feet. Some winter boots don’t have any insulation, making them suitable for milder days, but keeping your feet warm in freezing weather requires boots packed with at least 200 grams of insulation. For frigid weather, you can opt for boots with 400 or 800 grams of insulation. However, these boots are unsuitable for mild or moderate winter days since they can make your feet sweaty and uncomfortable if you wear them for extended periods. Comfort You may not wear your boots for a long time during the day the same as you would athletic or office shoes, but they should still provide enough comfort to prepare you for any situation. Look for boots that offer sufficient arch support to make standing and walking for extended periods easier, as well as removable insoles with plenty of padding. Traction Walking over an icy or wet surface can be hazardous as it makes it easier to slip or fall, so your boots must provide you with enough grip to walk safely at a normal pace. Winter boots have a thick rubber outsole with a treaded pattern that offers excellent traction on varying surfaces. How much you can expect to spend on winter boots for men You can get a reliable pair of boots for $50-$100. However, if you don’t mind spending the money, durable boots made with premium materials can cost up to $250. Winter boots for men FAQ How can I clean my winter boots? A. You can use a wet or dry cloth to remove salt and other stains from your boots and a brush to get rid of sticky debris. How durable are leather winter boots? A. Leather winter boots should last you at least a few years before they need replacing. However, it’s best to monitor the leather’s condition, as it can crack and let in moisture over time.

Supreme Court considers Harvard and University of North Carolina’s use of affirmative action. Here’s what you need to know By Ariane de Vogue, CNN Supreme Court Reporter The conservative Supreme Court will meet Monday to consider whether colleges and universities can continue to take race into consideration as a factor in admissions, a case that could diminish the number of Black and Hispanic students in higher education. Hanging in the balance is the future of admissions plans at hundreds of schools that have relied on court precedent for decades in order to achieve the educational benefits they say flow from student body diversity on campus. Challengers in the case are targeting Harvard and the University of North Carolina arguing that their programs violate equal protection principles, dash the promise of a colorblind society, and discriminate against Asian Americans. They are urging the court to overturn precedent and they say that the schools should explore and further develop race-neutral alternatives to achieve diversity. At least nine states have already chosen to end consideration of race in university admissions, including Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Washington, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Supreme Court precedent allows the consideration of race, but the court’s new composition of conservative justices did not hesitate last term to overturn decades old precedent in a case that curtailed a federal right to abortion. A Washington Post poll found that 63% of US adults support the Supreme Court banning colleges and universities from considering a student’s race and ethnicity when making decisions about student admissions. At the same time, 64% also say that in general, programs designed to increase the racial diversity of students on college campuses are a good thing. A conservative group, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) is behind both challenges. Edward Blum, the President of SFFA, has hired a conservative boutique law firm, Consovoy McCarthy, to challenge the policies at the country’s oldest private university, Harvard and the country’s first public university, University of North Carolina. The firm is composed of several former clerks of Justice Clarence Thomas who has been a critic of affirmative action. In 2003, Thomas wrote in one opinion: “The Constitution abhors classifications based on race, not only because those classifications can harm favored races or are based on illegitimate motives, but also because every time the government places citizens on racial registers and makes race relevant to the provision of burdens or benefits, it demeans us all.” SSFA argues that the Harvard policy violates Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that prohibits schools receiving federal funds from discriminating based on race. He says that the UNC policy is subject to Title VI, as well as 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law, which covers state universities. Lower US courts have ruled in favor of the schools finding that that the programs used race in a sufficiently limited way to fulfill a compelling interest in diversity. The two disputes were initially consolidated, but after Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson announced she would recuse herself from the Harvard case because she had served on the school’s board of overseers, they were decoupled, so the nation’s first black justice could weigh in on the issue in at least one case. North Carolina challenge The University of North Carolina, established in 1789, was formally segregated for much of its history. The current challenge comes some 70 years after the first Black student was admitted. After an eight-day trial in 2020, district Judge Loretta C. Biggs ruled in favor of the school making special mention of its history steeped in racism. In a footnote, she noted the school’s “comparatively recent embrace of diversity,” citing Southern historian Dr. David Cecelski, who, she said provided the court with credible evidence that UNC has been a “strong and active promoter of white supremacy and racist exclusion for most of its history.” The judge noted that Cecelski put forth considerable findings that while the school has made “important strides to reform the institution’s racial outlook and policies” the efforts have fallen short of “repairing deep-seated strides to reform the institution’s racial outlook and policies.” “The University continues to face challenges admitting and enrolling underrepresented minorities particularly African American males, Hispanics, and Native Americans,” Biggs said and noted that in 2013 enrollment of African American men in the first-year class fell below 100 students. Siding with UNC, Biggs said “Ensuring that our public institutions of higher learning are open and available to all segments of our citizenry is not a gift to be sparingly given only to select populations, but rather is an institutional obligation to be broadly and equitably administered.” The Supreme Court stepped in to consider the case before it was heard by a federal appeals court. The school’s admissions office consists of about 120 employees engaged in a process where in the typical cycle the school receives about 43,500 applications for a freshman class of 4,200. Generally, about half the applicants are North Carolina residents. The requirements for admissions include a common application, an essay, letters of recommendation and standardized test scores. Race is used as a “plus factor” as the school considers criteria that includes a high school’s program criteria, academic performance, testing and engagement in activities outside of the classroom as well as personal attributes such as curiosity, honesty, motivation, and impact on the community. In addition, the school considers race-neutral alternatives that would allow it to achieve diversity. North Carolina Solicitor General Ryan Park, argued that diversity is a compelling interest at the school and that the admissions office uses a holistic approach that affords an individualized consideration of all aspects of an applicant’s background, never relying upon quotas when it considers race. He also said the school makes a good faith effort to consider race neutral alternatives. “In UNC’s academic judgement, diversity is central to the education it aims to provide the next generation of leaders in business, science, medicine, government and beyond,” Park said in court papers. He said that while an applicant’s race may occasionally tip the balance toward admission in an individual case “it almost always does not.” He said the school offers about $159 million in undergraduate scholarships, part of which go to students based on their family’s socio-economic standing. It also recruits from a pool of high achieving community college students. Park also borrowed from the judicial philosophy favored by several of the current conservative justices who believe that the Constitution should be interpreted according to the original meaning of the founders. Park argued that the 14th Amendment was originally understood to allow “appropriately tailored race-conscious decision making”, an argument that Justice Jackson made in a different case earlier in the term concerning the historic Voting Rights Act. To make the connection, Park referred to historian Andrew Kull, who wrote that the framers considered and rejected proposals that would have made the Constitution explicitly colorblind. And he cited Brown v. Board of Education, the seminal opinion holding that state laws requiring separate but equal schools violated the Constitution. He argued that UNC’s admissions policy furthers the school’s “unwavering commitment to providing equal educational opportunities to all qualified students, no matter their race.” SSFA lawyer Patrick Strawbridge responded that the process is not holistic, and in fact the school conceals the improper use of race behind opaque procedures awarding “mammoth racial preferences” to African Americans and Hispanics. He said that the use of race so permeates the process that race becomes a predominant factor at “every stage.” He told the justices that the lawsuit had revealed the schools “sporadic and unserious efforts” to examine the availability of face-neutral alternatives by providing data through simulations “A white, out-of -state male who had only a 10% chance of admission would have a 98% chance if UNC treated him as an African American and a 69% chance if UNC treated him as a Hispanic,” he said. Strawbridge argued that the Brown decision actually supports his position. “Separate but equal has no place in education,” he said but added that the court should overturn a 2003 case called Grutter v. Bollinger that upheld the affirmative action admissions policy at the University of Michigan Law School. “Because Brown is our law, Grutter cannot be,” he said. Harvard case centers around treatment of Asian American students Harvard’s program is like that of University of North Carolina, but the challenge at hand focuses particularly on the treatment of Asian American students and a charge that the school intentionally discriminates against them setting higher standards for their admission. While Harvard is a private university, it is still subject to Title VI because it receives public funds. Its freshman class in 2019 had 1,600 students out of 35,000 applicants. Of the 35,000, 2,700 had perfect verbal SAT scores, 3,400 had perfect math SAT scores and more than 8,000 had perfect GPA’s. After a 15-day bench trial that featured 30 witnesses, the district court ruled in favor of Harvard, finding that the school did not discriminate against Asian Americans in violation of Title VI. The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court, holding that it did “not clearly err in finding that Harvard did not intentionally discriminate against Asian Americans. “ The admissions process at the school takes into consideration several components including pre-application recruitment efforts, applications, a “first read” of application materials, and interviews. The reading procedures include guideline to assign numerical numbers to certain categories to detail the factors admissions officers should consider. Those factors include academic ratings, extracurricular ratings, athletic ratings, and personal ratings. The personal ratings attempt to measure how an applicant impacts people around them and contributions they might make. Considerations include perceived leadership, maturity, self-confidence, likeability, courage and kindness. After SFFA brought the suit, Harvard modified its instructions to say that an applicant’s race or ethnicity should not be considered in assigning the personal ratings. Harvard has a list of so called “tip” factors including race that are used after the first read process. Former US Solicitor General Seth Waxman, Harvard’s lead lawyer, pointed out in court papers that court precedent allows a “holistic” review of an application, and that it need not ignore race. “Seeking the benefits of a diverse student body, universities may consider race as one among many factors,” he said. “Our Constitution promises ‘equal protection of the laws,’ he said and added “it does not require us to disregard the commonsense reality that race is one among many things that shape life experiences in meaningful ways.” He roundly rejected charges of any discrimination against Asian American students arguing that while the SFFA “invokes the bogeyman of discrimination” against Asian American applicants the lower courts had found “in no uncertain terms that Harvard does not discriminate.” And he said that the lower courts had found that none of the asserted race-neutral alternatives put forward by Harvard would allow it to achieve its goals and that if it abandoned consideration of race as one among many factors, representation of African Americans and Hispanic students would decline. Cameron Norris, the SSFA lawyer charged with arguing the Harvard case, charges the schools with ignoring precedent and the “mistreatment” of Asian American applicants. “Its admissions process penalizes them for supposedly lacking as much leadership, confidence likability, or kindness as white applicants” he said. He particularly attacked Harvard’s system based on so called “personal ratings.” By considering race alongside subjective criteria like “self-confidence, likability, and courage” universities invite admissions officers to rely on anti-Asian stereotypes, he said. “No one is under the illusion that we live in a post-racial society, or that racial discrimination is a thing of the past,” Norris said in court papers. “But when elite universities place high-schoolers on racial registers and tell the world that their skin color affects what they think and know, the universities are hurting, not helping,” he said. Role of Biden administration Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar supports both Harvard and the University of North Carolina, urging the justices to reject the invitation to ignore court precedent stemming from the Court’s 1978 decision in Regents of the University of California v Bakke where Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. recognized that the nation’s future “depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure to the ideas and mores of students as diverse as this Nation of many peoples.” She noted that court precedent has played a vital role in bringing diversity in higher education that has had rippling effect in the work force. “The Nation’s military leaders, for example, have learned through hard experience that the effectiveness of our military depends on a diverse officer corps that is ready to lead an increasingly diverse fighting force,” she said in court briefs. She said court precedent has proven “eminently workable, carefully limiting the consideration of race and requiring use of race-netural alternatives to the extent possible.” And she, too cited, Brown. “Nothing in Brown’s condemnation of laws segregating the races to perpetuate a caste system calls into question admissions policies adopted to promote greater integration and diversity,” she wrote. A friend of the court brief filed on behalf of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund also questions the challengers’ suggestion that Brown mandates a result in SSFA’s favor. “Petitioner would transform Brown from an indictment against racial apartheid into a tool that supports racial exclusion, prevents further advancement in the Nation’s progress towards racial integration, and deepens persistent inequalities in educational opportunities,” the brief said. The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund is also supporting the school, rejecting the charge that race-conscious admissions policies discriminate against Asian Americans or perpetuate harmful stereotypes against them. “The Asian American community is vast and varied, including first-generation college students and children whose parents’ professions secured their immigration; children of working-class refugees and multigenerational Americans; speakers of over 300 languages; aspiring entrepreneurs, artists, teachers, and more,” they argued. They say that Students for Fair Admission relies on “manipulated date” to attempt to demonstrate that Asian Americans with high test scores are admitted at lower rates than other racial groups. Two groups, however, the Asian American Coalition for Education and the Asian American Legal Foundation, support SFFA with a particular emphasis on the “personal ratings” used by Harvard that the groups say assigns an “artificially low” rating to Asian American applicants during the admissions process to “counter their otherwise above-average metrics and ‘balance’ the racial makeup of its student body.” “Through use of the personal rating, Harvard essentially imposes a racial hierarchy, where African Americans are the most desirable, followed by Hispanics, followed by whites, and with Asians at the very bottom as the least favored and the least likely to be admitted,” they said. David E. Bernstein, a University Professor at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School also supports SFFA. He calls into question Harvard’s racial categories, deeming them “arbitrary and irrational.” “Harvard cannot explain why roughly 60% of the world’s population should be grouped together as ‘Asian” despite vast differences in appearance, language, and culture,” he added.

Five people who pleaded guilty to defrauding $12 million in federal student aid by enrolling students into a theology school without requiring classwork were sentenced Thursday in Georgia to prison terms ranging from three to nine years. The defendants admitted they recruited fake students to the Columbus, Georgia, campus of Apex School of Theology. The students were promised they would not have to do any work. The employees took all or part of the money from federal grants and loans. The defendants then faked applications, grades, course work and even the students’ spiritual autobiographies meant to reflect a student’s spiritual journey. Prosecutors said employees took tests and logged on to the school’s course management system to make it appear the students were real. The Ledger-Enquirer of Columbus reports that of 602 students enrolled in the branch from August 2010 to May 2018, testimony showed 241 were involved in the fraud. Apex was headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, with 20 satellite campuses. The U.S. Department of Education stopped providing financial aid to the school’s students as it investigated Apex. The school sued, but has since shut down. U.S. District Judge Clay Land sentenced Sandra Anderson of Hampton, Georgia, the 64-year-old who directed the Columbus campus, to nine years in prison. Instructor Yolanda Brown Thomas, 51, of Columbus, was sentenced to five years and three months. Fort Mitchell, Alabama, resident Erica Montgomery, 49 who used a tax preparation business to recruit students, was sentenced to four years and three months. Administrative assistant Kristina Parker, 35, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, was sentenced to four years in prison. Instructor Leo Frank Thomas, 56, of Phenix City, Alabama, was sentenced to three years in prison. Montgomery and Thomas pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The other three pleaded guilty to conspiracy, five counts of wire fraud and four counts of financial aid fraud. A sixth person who had been indicted — Dorothy Webb — died while charges were pending. Although defense attorneys argued the loss amount was lower, Land ordered the defendants to pay $11.8 million in restitution.

August is typically a slow month at the movie theater, and while “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and “Bullet Train” can offer some sweet, bloody release from the heat at the local multiplex this weekend, if you’re more into staying home, there’s a wealth of high-profile new movies on streaming services to check out too. On Hulu, the new movie in the “Predator” franchise, “Prey,” premieres on Friday. The “Predator” franchise is particularly agile and adept at genre-hopping, and this new film is a historical horror flick set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation. In this Predator origin story, Amber Midthunder stars as Naru, a young warrior on the Great Plains who encounters the highly evolved alien predator threatening her camp and her people. “Prey” is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who previously helmed “10 Cloverfield Lane.” What makes “Prey” even more unique is that in streaming at home, viewers will have the option to watch the film dubbed entirely in the Comanche language. The filmmakers were dedicated to making a film that was an accurate portrayal of the Comanche, and producer Jhane Myers, a member of the Comanche Nation and acclaimed filmmaker, helped to bring that authenticity to the production. The cast is made up almost entirely of Native and First Nations actors. Be sure to catch it on Hulu this weekend. People are also reading… Another topical horror film arrives on Peacock Friday. “They/Them” is written and directed by John Logan and is set within a LGBTQIA+ conversion therapy camp. Kevin Bacon stars as the camp’s director, with Anna Chlumsky, Carrie Preston and Boone Platt filling out the rest of the staff. Who will be getting slashed in this social slasher? You’ll have to watch and find out on Peacock this weekend. Rebecca Ferguson, who starred in the chilling haunted house thriller “The Night House” last year (streaming on HBO Max), is in another mysterious and intimate thriller, “Resurrection,” written and directed by Andrew Semans. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Ferguson stars as successful single mother Margaret, whose orderly life is disrupted when a man from her past (Tim Roth) returns. The film opened in theaters last weekend, will be available on demand and digital rental Friday, and will stream on horror-specific streaming service Shudder on Oct. 28. Finally, Academy Award winning director Ron Howard’s latest film, “Thirteen Lives” arrives on Prime Video this Friday after a short theatrical run. Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton star in this film based on the incredible true story of the global effort to rescue the Thai soccer team trapped in the Tham Luang cave in 2018. A team of international divers joined the Thai forces to attempt the harrowing rescue of the 12 boys and their coach, with the whole world looking on. The film has received positive reviews, and is certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s worth your streaming hours this weekend.

Researchers at the University of Maine say they have new findings about the diet habits of the invasive browntail moth. The discovery could point to further spread of the insects, which can cause intense itching and discomfort in some people. For most of the last century, Maine's browntail moths were limited to the Casco Bay region. But over the last several years, they've spread across the state. The caterpillars especially favor oaks and fruit trees, and were thought to feed solely on deciduous trees. But in May, when a University of Maine student in Angela Mech's lab noticed a caterpillar feeding on a spruce tree, Mech decided to investigate. "And so I had her bring in some samples, and with pictures and an experiment we see that browntail moth can feed on conifers as well," Mech said. The finding suggests the moths might be able to spread into coniferous forests in Maine, further expanding their range. Mech said there is also a bit of good news. The recent spell of cool, wet weather has allowed a fungus to kill many browntail moth caterpillars, giving some Mainers who are sensitive to them a bit of a reprieve.

SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST: Let's admit it. There are just too many podcasts out there, and it's hard to find the really great ones. Well, we are here to help. Every week at this time, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED is going to play you a portion of a podcast we love from the NPR network. We're kicking it off with Finding Home Con DACA. It's a series from the LAist Studios podcast "How To LA," and it's hosted by Brian De Los Santos. He recently sat down with my co-host Ailsa Chang. AILSA CHANG, BYLINE: Even when we're lucky enough to have a chance to travel, the opportunity often comes with some anxieties. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") BRIAN DE LOS SANTOS: Next thing is like, how do we even get there? And it's super expensive. Like, I got to leave in about two weeks, so I know that prices are not going to be pretty. What are the gay-friendly spots? I don't even have a damn suitcase - shoes, clothes, my gear for work. Are they going to give me the time off? Who's going to host the podcast? Got to talk to my manager, actually, that I'm leaving the country. Wait, where am I even going to stay? CHANG: But what if an added anxiety was the possibility of leaving and being unable to return? For years, that had been the case for Brian De Los Santos. He's the host of the "How To LA" podcast from LAist Studios. DE LOS SANTOS: I was told I was undocumented in middle school. CHANG: He arrived in the U.S. from Veracruz, Mexico, at the age of 2. And in 2012, he became a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. That lifted the threat of deportation and allowed him to get a driver's license as well as other documents. But he could not leave the country because going back to Mexico would have risked his DACA status until very recently. He documented his trip back to his birth country for a special series called Finding Home Con DACA. Brian De Los Santos joins us now. Welcome. DE LOS SANTOS: Hi, Ailsa. Thanks for having me. CHANG: Hi. So before we get to your trip to Mexico, can you just first talk about what it had been like growing up to be from a country, a homeland that you had no real relationship with for many, many years? DE LOS SANTOS: Oh, wow. Well, I think the most meaningful things when I was growing up was a visit from Abuela, which only one of my abuelas could actually come to LA and visit me - or those Skype or those telephone calls to Mexico. That was my only thread back to Mexico was those visits or those phone calls. And for me, I'm lucky I grew up in LA and I'm able to exist within my Mexican culture here in this city. But it was always this thing of, like, am I American? Am I Mexican? Also, the whole threat of deportation, of not knowing what my future looked like because I was undocumented until I was essentially 21, I just didn't know what my life would be like. CHANG: Yeah. I mean, you talk about - in the first episode, you talk about how your immigration status before DACA puts you essentially in what you call survival mode. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") DE LOS SANTOS: ...Be in the survival mode of, like, I have to be one step ahead with information, whether it was resources or even how to drive in certain streets, the LAPD versus the LA County sheriffs, you know, who was more pro-immigrant or who was more anti-immigrant in those departments. Since I found out I was undocumented, it's always been, like, a risk of just living here. CHANG: Can you talk more about that? What did you mean by survival mode? DE LOS SANTOS: I think it's always kind of, like, looking over your shoulders, not just, like, from police and from, you know, getting pulled over and not having a driver's license but also just, like, how do you kind of, like, be in stealth mode so people don't pay attention to you? For me, it was, like, kind of like, how do I survive in this country where I don't have permission to be here, essentially? When I became a DACA recipient, it was not just, like, becoming a DACA recipient. It was also like, OK, what do I have to do next to figure out how to stay here long term and eventually hopefully get a green card? And, you know, there still isn't a solution for DACA recipients right now. CHANG: Exactly. And while you've been a DACA recipient, it's been unclear whether you could go back to Mexico without risking your immigration status. But eventually, you were able to leave California and go to Mexico. It's part of something called the Advance Parole program. Can you explain what that program is? DE LOS SANTOS: Yeah. First, I want to say that I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not 100% a legal expert. I just know through my own process. And there are three ways you can get this document. You apply through U.S. Immigration Services, and you ask them through humanitarian reasons, which is you get to go visit family, loved ones in your home country or through school, which is, you know, you do a program or semester abroad or a business trip. And those are the three reasons you can apply for Advance Parole. Now, you send your check in. You wait for your case number. You wait for immigration officials to essentially give you this document. But I do want to say - and this is why a lot of people don't do Advance Parole - you're not guaranteed reentry into the country. It says it right there in the letter they send you. It says in big, red letters that your reentry is at the discretion of the CPB official, essentially, when you're reentering the country. CHANG: And you get to Mexico in late February of this year. DE LOS SANTOS: Yes. CHANG: And, you know, you describe this moment while you're sitting on a beach in Puerto Vallarta. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") DE LOS SANTOS: I was at the beach earlier with a friend I met here in Mexico in Puerto Vallarta. There was a moment where the sun was just setting, and it was just so beautiful. I said, this is the happiest I've ever been in my life - the beach, the sun, no worries, no thoughts. And I don't think I've ever experienced that. I'm trying to be this journalist right now, recording. What are you feeling, and why are you crying? CHANG: I mean, when I heard that, I thought, like, after so many years, Brian, in what you call survival mode, what was it that finally allowed you to feel that sense of happiness in that particular moment? DE LOS SANTOS: I just felt like - the words that come to my mind right now is I'm here. And I feel like ever since I had that moment, whenever I think about that moment, I'm transported back to that beach, and it was this beautiful sunset. There was someone playing the trumpet in the distance. There were kids playing. And I was just like, my favorite place in the world at that moment was the beach. And it just felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Like, I've always wanted to experience Mexico. I wanted to eat the food that people talk about on social media. I wanted to hear the stories that my family had, and I finally had this opportunity to just touch and feel it, you know? And when I was younger, I just heard the stories, and - or I heard the stories from my friends about going to these beaches or going to the city. And I just - it wasn't reachable for me. I couldn't touch it. And now that I was touching it, for me, it was like, this means the world to me. And, yeah, it was beautiful. CHANG: And yet while you were there, you were constantly reminded of all the years that you had spent growing up in the U.S. Like in Mexico City, there was this point where you ask a friend who lives there if he sees you as Mexican or as a gringo. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") DE LOS SANTOS: And I had to ask him how he viewed me. (Speaking Spanish). Am I Mexican? What do you see me as? UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Speaking Spanish). CHANG: And he said, as a gringo. (LAUGHTER) DE LOS SANTOS: Yes. CHANG: How did that feel, to hear him call you a gringo? DE LOS SANTOS: Like a slap in the face, to be honest. (LAUGHTER) DE LOS SANTOS: But it also was a realization for me that I actually thought about throughout my whole trip in Mexico. It's also, like, the culture. Like, the references - I didn't understand some references that people, you know, said to me, and I had to, like, just ask them, like, what did you mean? (Speaking Spanish). And so, like, I understood the privilege I had just being able to live and work in the United States. But I also felt the sense of like, OK, that's the way people see me. And I've never felt like I was American enough to say that I'm a gringo. But I did realize that I do carry American culture with me. I - my English and my Spanish are very different, obviously, from Mexicans in Mexico. But it's something that I - you know, I had to learn. CHANG: Yeah. Well, then the moment that you said you had been waiting for your whole life was seeing one of your abuelitas, one of your grandmothers, in person after all those years. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") DE LOS SANTOS: (Speaking Spanish). UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: (Speaking Spanish). DE LOS SANTOS: (Speaking Spanish). UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: (Speaking Spanish). DE LOS SANTOS: (Laughter). UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: (Speaking Spanish). CHANG: What is the one thing that you will never forget about spending time with her in person? DE LOS SANTOS: The food, obviously. (LAUGHTER) DE LOS SANTOS: It's that grandma's meal that she serves you. But one of the things that I was sharing with my family and friends is that people around me, they could go to their grandma's house. And I've never had that. I've never had, you know, going to abuela's house and be like abuela, (speaking Spanish). You know, I'm hungry. Like, what is there to eat? It felt like, this is what my life could have been in Mexico if I had stayed here, or if I had the documents to come here whenever I wanted to. And so it was bittersweet. And so the other bittersweet moment is when you have to explain to people, I'm only here for this one trip. I don't know when I'm back. CHANG: You - so much of your podcast - it's about the heartbreak that many immigrants experience and maybe is more intense for DACA recipients specifically. And what I mean by that is, like, you know, on the one hand, you're trying to prove that the U.S. is where you belong. But at the same time, on the other hand, you have the pain of being cut off from your family, your heritage. Does someone ever reconcile those feelings, you think? Do you think you will? DE LOS SANTOS: I have been learning a lot to let go of things I can't control. And this is just me speaking for myself. And I've learned that my status in this country is something that I can't really control. I do want to say that a lot of people have written to me because I've shared my immigration story before, not just on this podcast but in different places I've worked at in journalism. People ask me, well, why can't you just, you know, go and stand in line through the immigration process? And I tell them it's way more complicated than that. It's not as clear-cut as people may think. And so me just being at peace that I'm trying my best to figure out where I stand in this country - and later, that does affect who I am in this country. I think I'm working towards, at least I got to do this trip and got to know a little bit of my heritage. I think there's always going to be a piece of me that I'm always going to be missing, just having the opportunity to be in Mexico. But I do realize who I am, and I'm still learning. I think that's what I want to say. I'm still learning who I am. CHANG: I am, too. And I know that you've talked to other DACA recipients for this series who probably feel very similarly. Brian, thank you so, so much for this. DE LOS SANTOS: Thank you, Ailsa. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) MCCAMMON: That was my colleague Ailsa Chang, speaking with the host of "How To LA," Brian de Los Santos, about his three-part series, Finding Home Con DACA. The series follows De Los Santos' journey to Mexico, his country of birth, for the first time in 30 years. But it also beautifully incorporates the voices of other recipients of Advance Parole for travel, the program that allows certain immigrants to travel outside the U.S. and return lawfully. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "HOW TO LA") RUBY FERGUSON: I'm Ruby Ferguson (ph). I'm 27. I received my approval letter February of 2022. I had not been to Mexico since I was 7 years old. I wanted to see my family. I wanted to see my grandparents. I can still remember every detail of the trip. LUIS RAMIREZ: My name is Luis Ramirez (ph). I am 35 year old. I remember feeling like it was unreal that I had left the country. I had arrived at the airport in Guanajuato and was getting picked up by my mom and my cousin to drive over to the little town that I grew up in. Still felt very surreal. FERGUSON: When the plane was landing into Veracruz, I saw the ocean. I saw the houses. They were so vibrant, the colors. That feeling of knowing that I had finally made it to my home country after all this time - my grandmother and my aunt standing there, being able to hug them after two decades. RAMIREZ: There's just this magic, too. Being surrounded by family that just pour all this love. FERGUSON: I am thankful that I had the privilege to make my trip possible. I hope that in the future I'm able to travel again, to see my family again.

OakLeaf Clinics opens behavioral health clinic EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - OakLeaf Clinics is celebrating the opening of its new Behavioral Health Clinic in downtowne Eau Claire. Dr. Kevin Hess and his team had been practicing at the Oakleaf Medical Clinic for the past two years, but decided to open a new clinic called the Counseling Room. Located on South Barstow Street, Dr. Hess specializes in behavioral health and alternative methods to medicine and therapy. The facility has been open for six months, and has already seen promising results. “Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been around since 2008, but not widely available or not widely known about. And so to be the first clinician and to provide this in the area and starting to see results over the past six months in some rather treatment resistant patients, that’s very satisfying as well,” Dr. Kevin Hess, Psychiatrist, said. Hess says his patients have been big fans of the new clinic so far. Copyright 2023 WEAU. All rights reserved.

Coach Kevin Willard had longed to return home. His Maryland Terrapins had trudged through a difficult early portion of the Big Ten slate with road games and travel days clogging their schedule. But finally the Terps caught a break — three consecutive home contests that would be a chance to revive optimism about Willard’s first season in charge — and they capitalized, capping an impressive three-game winning streak with a defensive masterpiece that took down No. 21 Indiana. The Terps earned a 66-55 win Tuesday night at Xfinity Center in perhaps their most impressive showing of the season. The Hoosiers had won five straight, and they lean on Trayce Jackson-Davis, a standout senior and prolific scorer. But Willard’s squad responded each time Indiana (15-7, 6-5) threatened, and the Terps (15-7, 6-5) limited the usually high-scoring Hoosiers. For the Terps, Tuesday’s win helps quell concerns that they could miss the NCAA tournament. With three games remaining against Big Ten bottom dwellers Minnesota and Nebraska, Maryland shouldn’t have much trouble getting to at least nine conference wins. As for their tournament résumé, Maryland has now toppled three ranked Big Ten opponents — Illinois (No. 16 at the time), now-slumping Ohio State (No. 24) and Indiana. The Terps shot just 34 percent Tuesday, but they won the game with defense and poise (just five turnovers). Jackson-Davis, whom Willard described as “the best college basketball player right now,” had been on a dominant run, averaging 23.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists in January coming into Tuesday’s game. The Terps, with their lack of frontcourt depth and Julian Reese’s tendency to run into foul trouble, seemed vulnerable. But Maryland held Jackson-Davis in check. He finished with 18 points and 20 rebounds — an impressive stat line but not enough to take over. “I thought it was awesome, man,” Willard said of Reese’s defense on Jackson-Davis. “... He’s a big-time, big-time player. And I think Julian Reese is slowly turning into just as [much of] a big-time player. It just shows you how far Julian has come.” Maryland also contained Indiana’s standout freshman point guard, Jalen Hood-Schifino, who missed his first 11 field goal attempts and finished with three points on 1-for-14 shooting. Willard said he thought the Terps’ press was “really effective in helping take a freshman out of a rhythm.” That left the Hoosiers without enough options, and Maryland’s Jahmir Young (20 points) and Donta Scott (19) became the game’s leading scorers instead. Reese said the Terps “definitely felt disrespected” because they believed Indiana “overlooked” them ahead of its matchup with No. 1 Purdue on Saturday. The Terps had an eight-point halftime lead, but the Hoosiers cut their deficit to two within four minutes. Maryland responded with a 10-2 run that provided some cushion again, and Jackson-Davis couldn’t muster any second-half heroics. Willard credited several late offensive rebounds for helping the Terps extend their possessions and limit Indiana’s opportunities. The Terps handled their three-game homestand against Wisconsin, Nebraska and Indiana with poise, assembling this winning streak before they head back on the road in search of their first conference victory away from Xfinity Center. Maryland will have its best chance to reverse that trend when it plays Saturday at Minnesota, the last-place team in the Big Ten. Here’s what else to know about Maryland’s win: Surge before the break The Terps, hampered early by 1-for-10 shooting from three-point range, let Indiana take a seven-point lead with 9:18 to go in the first half. After Willard called a timeout, Maryland’s pesky press forced the Hoosiers into mistakes and an offensive slump. From that point until halftime, Indiana made just three field goals, letting the Terps head into the break on a 22-7 run. Maryland had a 10-0 burst during that stretch, which included five Indiana turnovers. During the timeout, Willard said he jokingly told his players, “If someone would make a shot, that’d make the bald guy real happy.” He thought they needed to relax “because I thought we started off good, and then we missed some shots and we got tight,” he said. The Terps, despite shooting 35.7 percent in the first 20 minutes, had a 37-29 halftime lead by leaning on their stout defense and ability to get through the half with no turnovers. Young’s stellar stretch Young, a transfer from Charlotte, has thrived as he has become more familiar with the Big Ten. The Terps struggled from three-point range (5 for 22), but he made 3 of 6 and also had success attacking the rim. Young has notched at least 20 points in five of the past seven games and has been integral to Maryland’s turnaround. The Terps tallied a season-low five turnovers against Indiana, a welcome trend that has persisted through several games. Willard said the team has put the ball in the hands of Young and Hakim Hart more often, and that has led to improvement. Bench contributions Reese (10 points and 11 rebounds) handled much of the defensive load against Jackson-Davis, but reserve forward Patrick Emilien also contributed to the effort. Emilien played 13 minutes and logged two points, three rebounds and a block. Another bench player, guard Ian Martinez, scored seven points in 20 minutes and was a key part of Maryland’s energetic defense.

Don't Ever Give Up!"® spirit as it continues its work to achieve Victory Over Cancer® CARY, N.C., March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The V Foundation for Cancer Research, a top cancer research charity, is commemorating the 30th anniversary of the organization's inception, announced during founder Jim Valvano's famous ESPYs speech on March 4, 1993. Over the course of the year, the V Foundation will promote initiatives and events aligned with advancing cancer research and saving lives. It begins with a Giving Week campaign Saturday, March 4, through Jim's birthday on March 10, including a 1:1 match for all donations (up to $175,000) thanks to generous partners of the organization. Those interested in donating can do so at www.v.org/donate. During Giving Week, the Foundation will debut a new PSA starring Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski, encouraging support for cancer research. Coach Krzyzewski has actively been a V Foundation advocate since his dear friend, Jim Valvano, announced the organization thirty years ago, just before his passing. "He had great vision, but I do think he would be surprised with where we're at today," Coach K said. "More so with the potential of where we can be as a result of the first 30 years. His vision to start this was divine intervention, really. Hopefully, in 30 years, no one will be in the arena, but if they do go in the arena, we will have a cure for every form of cancer." Coach K will be among those featured in a new one-hour documentary about Jim's 1993 ESPYS speech that will premiere on ESPN this July. For the last three decades, the V Foundation has awarded 100% of all direct donations to game-changing cancer research to help accelerate Jim's vision of Victory Over Cancer®. To date, over $310 million has been awarded through the V Foundation to grantees from the 71 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers and other exceptional research institutions. Grants are awarded through a process vetted by a Scientific Advisory Committee comprised of the nation's top doctors and scientists. "This year, we will recognize the 30th anniversary of the V Foundation, the undeniable impact of research on cancer outcomes in the last thirty years and our vision of Victory Over Cancer®," said V Foundation CEO, Shane Jacobson. "Today's cancer research is tomorrow's victory."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A contract between shipping companies and 22,000 West Coast dockworkers expired over the weekend. But both sides continued to talk and said they want to avoid a strike that could savage an economy already stressed by soaring inflation and supply chain woes. The contract that expired last Friday covered workers at ports from California to Washington state that handle nearly 40% of U.S. imports. “While there will be no contract extension, cargo will keep moving, and normal operations will continue at the ports until an agreement can be reached,” said a joint statement from the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. The ILWU is the union representing Pacific dockworkers, and the Pacific Maritime Association is a trade group for cargo carriers and terminal operators. Its members include such global shipping giants as Maersk and Evergreen Marine. The talks are so crucial that President Joe Biden even stepped in last month and met with both sides in Los Angeles. They are taking place against the backdrop of surging imports that left backlogs of ships anchored offshore, and declining exports. Both sides said last month that they weren't planning any work disruptions, but U.S. industries are clearly worried. In a letter to Biden issued hours before the latest contract expired, about 150 trade groups ranging from truckers to agricultural, chemical and toy industries urged the administration to work with both parties to extend the current contract, negotiate in good faith and agree to avoid actions that further disrupt the ports. The letter stressed that the groups are entering their peak season for imports as retailers stockpile goods for the fall holidays and back-to-school items. “We continue to expect cargo flows to remain at all-time highs, putting further stress on the supply chain and increasing inflation,” the letter said. “Many expect these challenges to continue through the rest of the year.” A major issue in the talks is automation of port facilities. The union argues that it will cost the jobs of crane operators and other workers, who can earn $100,000 or more per year. The Pacific Maritime Association argues that automation will actually will increase employment by enabling ports to move more cargo. Ports already have been struggling to handle container traffic, much of it from Asia, where ports are heavily automated. After the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold in 2020, cargo traffic to ports slumped drastically. But then it recovered and has been booming since. Soaring demand has led to traffic jams at the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which in 2021 alone moved some 20 million cargo containers. The ports, collectively known as the San Pedro Bay port complex, alone handle more than 30% of waterborne containerized imports and exports in the U.S. In January, some 100 ships were waiting to get into the port complex, but that total is now down to 60 or even as low as 20 at times, Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero said Tuesday. Cargo is loaded and unloaded 16 hours a day, on average, Cordero said. However, the ports need to have a “24-7 mindset" to deal with Asian traffic, where ports operate around the clock, he said. Contracts are renegotiated every six years, and Cordero said most have concluded without disruptions. However, a lockout in 2002 and an eight-day strike in 2015 cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars and forced the administrations of then-presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama to intervene. Cordero said he hadn't seen any work slowdowns at the port and was optimistic that the current negotiations would end with a fairly quick resolution. “The world’s looking at us to make sure that were moving the cargo," he said. “I think the administration has made it clear that they expect a reasonable ... outcome.” Unionized dockworkers also are seeking a raise and argue that shipping lines can afford it. With global demand, overseas freight shipping firms are seeing record profits. Last month, Biden signed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act — meant to make shipping goods across oceans cheaper — and blasted the concentration of corporate shipping in the hands of nine foreign-owned companies. “These carriers made $190 billion in profit in 2021, seven times higher than the year before,” Biden said. “The cost got passed on, as you might guess, directly to consumers, sticking it to American families and businesses because they could.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP)Brian Flores interviewed for at least four jobs this offseason, even one for head coach. No matter how big the rebuild might be in Minnesota, his two sons weren’t deterred: Vikings defensive coordinator was surely the best fit for their dad. ”They didn’t care about any of the other opportunities. They’re big Justin Jefferson fans, so when we accepted the position, there was a lot of Griddy-ing going on in my house,” Flores said, referencing Jefferson’s signature touchdown groove. ”And I had my own version that nobody wants to see here.” Flores can name his tune and his dance – plus, probably, his price – if he finds a way to fix a defense that was one of the easiest in the NFL to move the ball against in 2022. ”You get a gut feeling – I think we’ve all kind of had those – that this was the place for me and my family,” said the 41-year-old Flores, who’s married with three children. His daughter even took her first steps inside U.S. Bank Stadium at a team event the week of the Super Bowl he coached in with New England five seasons ago. One year removed from his messy firing as Miami’s head coach and the fallout that led to a still-pending lawsuit, Flores appeared quite comfortable with the current state of his career at an introductory news conference Wednesday at Vikings headquarters next to head coach Kevin O’Connell. Flores was hired on Feb. 6. ”I’m where my feet are. I’m very excited to be here. I think any other opportunities that present themselves in the future, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” said Flores, who interviewed for Arizona’s head coach vacancy and defensive coordinator openings with Atlanta and Cleveland. Flores filed a class-action lawsuit last year alleging racial discrimination by the Dolphins and the NFL, a case still tied up in the court system. Flores, who is Black, was joined as plaintiffs by Steve Wilks and Ray Horton. He said Wednesday he couldn’t comment specifically about the lawsuit. Flores built his resume over 15 seasons and four Super Bowl titles with the Patriots organization, the last eight as a defensive assistant. The Patriots won it all four years ago with Flores as a first-time defensive play-caller, and they jumped from 17th to seventh in the league in opponent passer rating while tying for fifth with 28 takeaways. ”I want the closest resemblance to my personality as the head coach of this team to be articulated in how we play,” O’Connell said, ”and I think Brian coming in here will give not only the similar football backgrounds and philosophies, but also just the mindset of being ultra-competitors.” Flores spent three years as coach of the Dolphins and was a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach in 2022 for Pittsburgh. He has replaced Ed Donatell, fired by O’Connell after their only season together. O’Connell also formally interviewed Sean Desai, Mike Pettine and Ryan Nielsen for the job of reviving a defense that ranked second-worst in the league in yards allowed and fourth-worst in points allowed. O’Connell clearly wasn’t on the same page with Donatell down the stretch about how much the Vikings needed to adjust their rush and coverage strategy. ”I left out of here feeling like there was a shared vision,” Flores said. ”He’s aggressive offensively. I’m aggressive defensively. That kind of philosophy was aligned.” With safety Harrison Smith, cornerback Patrick Peterson, inside linebacker Eric Kendricks and outside linebackers Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith, the Vikings have a core that’s accomplished and savvy but expensive and aged. Those five players have been picked for the Pro Bowl a combined 21 times, but only Hunter (27) is under 30. There’s almost no way the entire quintet will remain for 2023, with the possibility that more than one would be cut for salary cap relief. Peterson and the other two starting cornerbacks, Duke Shelley and Chandon Sullivan, will all be free agents next month. Hunter, Kendricks and Smith, in particular, were either not the right fits or slow to transition to the new scheme after Donatell installed a 3-4 base system that was heavier on zone pass coverage and lighter on blitzing than the Vikings were previously in the 4-3 scheme run by head coach Mike Zimmer. Flores prefers a 3-4, but has operated a defense more like Zimmer’s than Donatell’s, with more man-to-man coverage and frequent extra pass rushers. The lack of contribution to the defense from recent drafts has become a glaring problem. From 2017 through 2021, at the direction of general manager Rick Spielman, they drafted a total of five defensive players in any of the first three rounds. Only two are still with the team: cornerback Cameron Dantzler and outside linebacker Patrick Jones. Dantzler, a third-rounder in 2020, has been hampered by injuries and finished the season as a backup. Jones, a third-rounder in 2021, played in 26% of the snaps on defense in 2022. — AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Texas coach Beard arrested on felony family violence charge AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas men’s basketball coach Chris Beard was arrested early Monday on a felony family violence charge, according to Travis County Jail records. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office said the 49-year-old Beard was arrested by Austin police and booked at 4:18 a.m. on a charge of assault on a family or household member in which their breath was impeded, or choking, in common terms. The charge is a third-degree felony in Texas, with a possible punishment of two to 10 years in prison. The jail records showed Beard had not yet posted bond as of Monday morning and did not indicate when he would be making an initial court appearance. The records also did not identify an attorney for Beard. “The university is aware of the situation regarding Chris Beard. We are continuing to gather information and monitoring the legal process,” the school said in a statement. The second-ranked Longhorns (7-1) play Rice on Monday night. Beard is in his second season with the Longhorns. Before that, he led Texas Tech to the 2019 NCAA Tournament championship game. ___ AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketball and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25 Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — An attorney who held key roles in the George W. Bush administration and who left his post last week as a senior investigator for the U.S. House committee probing the Jan. 6 insurrection said Wednesday he is running for a Missouri U.S. Senate seat as an independent. John F. Wood announced in a prepared statement that he’s beginning the effort to get on the November general election ballot for retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat. The announcement comes as some Republican leaders express concern that former Gov. Eric Greitens might prevail in a 21-candidate field for the Republican nomination for the seat in the Aug. 2 primary, then lose in November because of the sex and campaign finance scandals that pushed him from office in 2018. Greitens also faces allegations of physical abuse from his ex-wife, which he has denied. With the Senate evenly divided, the GOP can’t afford to lose what would otherwise be a safe seat. Those concerns intensified last week when Facebook removed a Greitens campaign video that shows him brandishing a shotgun and declaring that he’s hunting RINOs, or Republicans In Name Only. “I am conservative and a life-long Republican. But the primaries for both parties have become a race to the bottom,” Wood said in a prepared statement. “This was evident a few days ago when the leading candidate for one of the parties released a campaign advertisement glorifying violence against his political enemies, from his own party no less. Missouri deserves better. Missouri needs another option.” To get on the November ballot as an independent, Wood would need to submit petitions signed by 10,000 registered voters by Aug. 1. Wood, 52, served as U.S. attorney for Missouri’s Western District from 2007 to 2009 and before that held key roles in the George W. Bush administration. He was working as general counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when he stepped down in September to become senior investigative counsel for the Jan. 6 committee. He resigned that post Friday. Former Republican U.S. Sen. John Danforth has urged Wood to run as a right-leaning independent. Wood once worked for Danforth’s staff. Besides Greitens, other GOP contenders include Attorney General Eric Schmitt, U.S. Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long, Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz and St. Louis attorney Mark McCloskey. Schatz is positioning himself as a “Reagan Republican.” The others are strong supporters of former President Donald Trump, who has not yet endorsed a candidate in the race. Leading Democratic contenders include former Marine Lucas Kunce, who is running as a populist, and Trudy Busch Valentine, who is part of the Busch brewery family.
