JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military attacked what it said was a Hamas military site in the Gaza Strip early Saturday in response to a pair of rocket attacks overnight. The exchange that took place hours after U.S. President Joe Biden concluded a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The army said its fighter jets struck an underground complex containing raw materials used in the production of rockets.
The two rocket attacks, coming several hours apart, set off air raid sirens in parts of southern Israel but caused no injuries or damage. The army said one of the rockets was intercepted, while the others landed in open areas.
No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the rocket fire. But Israel blames Hamas, the militant group that has ruled Gaza for 15 years, for any violence emanating from the Palestinian enclave.
In addition to the military sites, shock waves from Israeli airstrikes ripped up window frames and shattered glasses at several homes and a nearby gas station.
Commenting on the air raids, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem vowed to “continue our legitimate struggle” and stand up to the U.S. support of Israel.
Despite heightened tensions in recent months, Biden’s three-day trip to Israel and the occupied West Bank passed smoothly. In the West Bank, Biden met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, expressing support for Palestinian independence but also saying that conditions are not ripe for re-launching peace talks.
Hamas dismissed Biden’s expressions of sympathy for the Palestinians, calling the United States “a partner in the aggression on our people.” It also criticized Abbas for meeting with Biden and reiterating his support for a peace process with Israel.
Hamas doesn’t recognize Israel. Since taking over Gaza by force in 2007, the militant group and Israel fought four deadly wars and numerous rounds of cross-border violence.
Biden continued from Israel to Saudi Arabia, where he is trying to bolster a regional alliance against Iran. Israel considers Iran to be its greatest enemy, in part because of its support for militant groups like Hamas. | https://wgntv.com/news/international/ap-international/israel-strikes-gaza-target-in-response-to-rocket-fire/ | 2022-07-16 13:50:46 | 1 | https://wgntv.com/news/international/ap-international/israel-strikes-gaza-target-in-response-to-rocket-fire/ |
Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe apparently shot, in heart failure
Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was in heart failure after apparently being shot during a campaign speech Friday in western Japan, NHK public television said Friday.
The broadcaster aired footage showing Abe collapsed on the street, with several security guards running toward him. Abe was holding his chest when he collapsed, with his shirt smeared with blood. NHK says Abe was rushed to a hospital.
Abe was in Nara campaigning ahead of Sunday’s election for the parliament's upper house and was giving a speech when people heard a gunshot.
Police arrested a male suspect at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, NHK said.
The attack was a shock in a country that's one of the world’s safest and with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.
The term heart failure means the heart cannot sufficiently pump blood and supply necessary oxygen to the rest of the body. In Japan, officials sometimes use the term to describe situations where victims are no longer alive but before a formal declaration of death has been made.
It was not immediately clear how serious Abe’s injuries were or if he was still displaying vital signs.
Abe stepped down in 2020 because he said a chronic health problem has resurfaced. Abe has had ulcerative colitis since he was a teenager and has said the condition was controlled with treatment.
He told reporters at the time that it was “gut wrenching” to leave many of his goals unfinished. He spoke of his failure to resolve the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia and a revision of Japan’s war-renouncing constitution.
That last goal was a big reason he was such a divisive figure.
His ultra-nationalism riled the Koreas and China, and his push to normalize Japan's defense posture angered many Japanese. Abe failed to achieve his cherished goal of formally rewriting the U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution because of poor public support.
Supporters of Abe said that his legacy was a stronger U.S.-Japan relationship that was meant to bolster Japan’s defense capability. But Abe made enemies too by forcing his defense goals and other contentious issues through parliament, despite strong public opposition.
Abe is a political blue blood who was groomed to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. His political rhetoric often focused on making Japan a “normal” and “beautiful” nation with a stronger military and bigger role in international affairs.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel expressed sadness and shock at the shooting. “Abe-san has been an outstanding leader of Japan and unwavering ally of the U.S. The U.S. Government and American people are praying for the well-being of Abe-san, his family, & people of Japan,” he said on Twitter. | https://www.wmur.com/article/japan-former-prime-minister-shinzo-abe-shot/40550797 | 2022-07-08 04:42:01 | 0 | https://www.wmur.com/article/japan-former-prime-minister-shinzo-abe-shot/40550797 |

NEW YORK, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) resulting from allegations that Hayward may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Hayward securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 28, 2022, Hayward disclosed that it was expecting its channel partners to reduce its inventory on hand by approximately 4 to 6 weeks in the second half of 2022. As a result, the Company updated its full year 2022 outlook expecting net sales to decline between 2% and 6% year-over-year, compared to prior guidance expecting net sales growth between 9% and 12% year-over-year.
On this news, the price of Hayward's stock price fell $2.50, or 18.23%, to close at $11.21 per share on July 28, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

One person was killed and three people were injured after gunfire broke out early Thursday morning at a 24 Hour Fitness in Brentwood, police said.
An altercation erupted at the gym’s basketball courts, which then moved to the parking lot, according to Brentwood police. In the parking lot two shooters exchanged gunfire, leaving one person dead and three injured.
At around 1:54 a.m. Thursday morning police responded to a 24 Hour Fitness on Lone Tree Way in Brentwood, where they found a man in his 20s suffering from a gunshot wound. He died at the scene, Brentwood police said.
Shortly after, police received calls that three men — including a 17-year old minor — had transported themselves to hospitals in the area to receive treatment for gunshot wounds, according to Brentwood police. All were expected to survive.
Police have not yet released the names of the victims or suspects.
Police are actively investigating the incident. Anyone with information or video of the altercation is asked to contact Brentwood Police at (925)- 809-7911.

Foreign businesses in Ukraine, such as Uber, look ahead to a post-war Ukraine By Tim Mak Published January 17, 2023 at 4:22 AM PST Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Listen • 2:47 Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi visited Ukraine to imagine how the company might eventually operate in a post-war environment.

Your next Uber Eats food delivery could come from a robot.
Serve Robotics announced it's expanding its partnership with Uber Eats. The new deal will mean up to 2,000 of Serve Robotics' autonomous sidewalk robots will be used to make deliveries for Uber Eats.
The initial partnership in 2022 included more than 200 restaurants in Los Angeles. Serve Robotics says the latest deal allows for expansion of the robots in other cities across the U.S.
“This partnership is a major step towards mass commercialization of robotics for autonomous delivery, and it is a testament to the success of our partnership," said Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics.

Uber has been increasing its use of autonomous technology.
In May, the company announced it was scaling up its use of Waymo's autonomous vehicles for its ridesharing and delivery networks.
Waymo has reportedly expanded its operating territory in Phoenix, and now covers 180 square miles.
“Fully autonomous driving is quickly becoming part of everyday life, and we’re excited to bring Waymo's incredible technology to the Uber platform," said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber.
Waymo's vehicles are not foolproof. Scripps News Phoenix has reported on at least two crashes involving the vehicles.

BERLIN — Former German leader Gerhard Schroeder is suing to restore the perks he enjoyed as ex-chancellor after he was stripped of them by parliament following criticism over his ties with Russia.
German news agency dpa quoted Schroeder’s lawyer, Michael Nagel, saying Friday that his client had filed a suit with Berlin’s administrative court to restore the necessary funding he previously received for his office and staff.
The Bundestag had changed the rules in May to link some privileges former chancellors receive to their actual duties. In their decision, lawmakers didn’t explicitly state Schroeder’s ties to Russia. But Nagel told dpa that the reasons for the change were obvious and wouldn’t withstand legal challenge.
Earlier this week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party rejected a bid to expel Schroeder, who had refused to distance himself from Putin and recently met with the Russian leader on a visit to Moscow in late July. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/german-ex-leader-schroeder-sues-to-restore-official-perks/2022/08/12/2d85c720-1a16-11ed-b998-b2ab68f58468_story.html | 2022-08-12 08:21:09 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/german-ex-leader-schroeder-sues-to-restore-official-perks/2022/08/12/2d85c720-1a16-11ed-b998-b2ab68f58468_story.html |

SHENANDOAH, Pa. — Baseball players are breaking in Schuylkill County's newest athletic training facility.
It's called the Skook Sports Lab.
“It makes you feel like you're actually in one of the big facilities that you full-on train in,” said Kale Rowan, a 6th-grade player from Shenandoah.
From elementary to college students, baseball players of all ages are now coming from all across Schuylkill County and beyond to train in what used to be a storage warehouse for a beer distributor.
Seventh grader, Landon Trout, travels from Pottsville to Shenandoah every week because his middle school doesn't have a junior high team.
“They probably would have to go to like another league or another coach or get help a certain way, or their parents would help them most likely,” he added.
That's all Skook Sports Lab owner Ian McCole said he had to choose from while growing up. Making it harder to train to play baseball at the collegiate level.
Newswatch 16 followed McCole from pitching on the field here at Shenandoah Valley to playing at Misericordia and Saint Joseph's University.
And now he's passing on what he's learned on all those teams here.
“You know, there was never anything like this to get me the help that I needed that would of made getting recruited, playing in college a lot easier than it was for me. That's what I'm hoping to do, give a couple guys something I didn't have while I was growing up," McCole explained.
What started off as giving lessons in his own backyard has transformed into an indoor facility where McCole can train players all year round.
“You know, watching these kids who watched me pitch and now watching them do what I went to do is crazy,” added McCole.
One person McCole saw cheering for him on the sidelines was Kaleb Maksimik, who says McCole inspired him to continue playing baseball in college.
Maksimik will be playing at Shippensburg University after he graduates from Shenandoah Valley High School this June.
“Ian helped me out a lot, like with talking to the coach and everything. The day the coach came to watch me, he was there helping me with everything. So if it wasn't for Ian, I probably wouldn't be where I'm going,” he mentioned.
McCole hopes he will be able to help even more of his players get the same opportunities he did.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Intense fighting between Ethiopian government forces and Oromo Liberation Army rebels in the country’s Oromia region has led to “several dozen” casualties in the past week, witnesses tell The Associated Press.
The fighting in Oromia, the largest of Ethiopia’s federal states, intensified as peace efforts were ending a larger, separate conflict between government and Tigray forces in northern Ethiopia.
A witness in the West Wollega area town of Bila said he saw bodies scattered on the ground following an alleged aerial attack on Nov. 2 by what he described as a “small flying plane” or possible drone.
“It was a market day, and students were leaving school,” the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. “I have lost count of the dead, but several dozen people were killed and injured.”
Witnesses in recent attacks in Oromia have blamed Ethiopian forces.
A priest in Bila said his church members buried 11 victims of what he described as a drone attack. He said hundreds of people were injured and sent to nearby hospitals.
The attack was followed by heavy fighting Sunday morning between Ethiopian forces and the rebels in the town of Nekemte in the East Wollega area, a witness said, adding that government forces retook control of the town in the afternoon.
The spokesman for the Oromo Liberation Army, Odaa Tarbii, tweeted that the rebel group’s fighters “rescued over 120 political prisoners” during an operation in Nekemte on Sunday. It claimed “several regime military installations” there were destroyed.
Ethiopian government spokesman Legesse Tulu didn’t respond to questions about the latest fighting. The government has accused the Oromo Liberation Army of carrying out mass killings in recent months.
The OLA was once a military wing of an opposition party, the Oromo Liberation Front. Its members returned to Ethiopia in 2018 after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed invited exiled groups and political figures to come back. However, the military wing detached from the party soon after and began deadly confrontations with government forces.
The OLA asserts that it stands for the security and self-determination of the Oromo people, Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group. Ethiopia has labeled it a terrorist organization.
The conflict in Oromia is separate from the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, but the OLA and Tigray forces announced an alliance late last year aimed at toppling the Ethiopian government.
A “permanent cessation of hostilities” in the Tigray conflict was signed last week, and a second round of peace talks is underway this week in neighboring Kenya. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-witnesses-say-new-fighting-in-ethiopias-oromia-kills-dozens/ | 2022-11-09 12:17:51 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-witnesses-say-new-fighting-in-ethiopias-oromia-kills-dozens/ |
Bronx residents say gangs of teens are terrorizing their apartment building: report
Robberies are up 43.4% and burglaries are up 38.3% in the Bronx so far this year, according to the NYPD
Residents of an apartment building in the Bronx neighborhood of Morrisania say that gangs of teens have been terrorizing them in recent months, according to a local report.
One resident of the apartments on East 169th Street, 63-year-old Nydia Carrero, told WABC that a group attacked her recently.
"They were kicking me in my side, kicking me on this side, punching me in the back, trying to get my face," she told the local news outlet.
Crime has skyrocketed throughout the Bronx in 2022, according to NYPD data, as robberies are up 43.4%, felony assaults are up 23%, and burglaries are up 38.3% compared to the same time frame in 2021.
Another resident of the Bronx apartment building, 60-year-old Victor Gonzalez, told WABC that the problem is only getting worse.
"It's a shame," Gonzalez told the local news outlet. "They are telling us they're going to come back and burn the building down. It's ridiculous."

An electric powertrain allows for a lot more possibilities for improving low-speed maneuverability, as Hyundai recently demonstrated.
The automaker’s Hyundai Mobis mobility-tech division has developed a hardware set called “e-corner” that allows a vehicle’s individual wheels to rotate up to 90 degrees. The system was first shown in 2021, and the general concept dates back to 2018, but Hyundai Mobis has now applied it to a Hyundai Ioniq 5 to show its potential.
With e-corner, the Ioniq 5 can crab sideways like a GMC Hummer EV, turn in place much like the “tank turn” maneuver exhibited by Rivian and Mercedes-Benz EQG prototypes, drive diagonally, or do a pivot turn, where one set of wheels remains stationary and acts as a pivot point for the rest of the car.
Making this possible are modules that incorporate the hardware needed to rotate the wheels at different angles. Hyundai Mobis appears to have skipped the idea of in-wheel motors, however, perhaps keeping the motor together with the module but not part of the actual wheel’s unsprung weight. That added unsprung weight can make tuning for ride quality and handling difficult.
Hyundai Mobis has said that it aims to develop a skateboard platform with four e-corner modules by 2023, and integrate it with autonomous-driving tech by 2025, to create a vehicle purpose-built for mobility services.
The concept of a highly-maneuverable skateboard platform is similar to the approach of Israeli startup REE, which has shown three versions of its own skateboard platform, and has made a deal to supply at least one version to Indian automaker Mahindra for commercial vehicles.

Aaron Judge looks like Paul Bunyan in Yankee pinstripes. He has shoulders like boulders, and when he hits home runs—and he has struck 57 this year—his bat looks light as a matchstick as he smacks a ball into the stands.
If Mr. Judge hits just five more home runs in the 18 games left in the regular season, he will reach 62. Many fans, including me, will consider this the real all-time single season home run record. Yet public attention to Aaron Judge's home run quest seems strangely muted.
Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa all hit more than 62, a generation ago. But we now know they did it with the help of performance enhancing drugs.
There is no reason whatsoever to suspect Aaron Judge has taken any banned substance. He seems a modest and appealing 30-year-old man, who was adopted as an infant and grew up in a small farming town. It's kind of a Superman story.
Aaron Judge hit 52 home runs in 2017, his rookie season, and seems to have been steadily working toward this mark. Yet many sports fans may be suspicious of anyone's new milestone.
This season, seven major league players have been suspended after random drug tests.
Some cases may make you roll your eyes. Pedro Severino of the Milwaukee Brewers had Clomiphene in his system, which can soften the side effects of steroids. But the drug is generally used to induce ovulation. You may wonder if the Brewers' catcher was trying to conceive a child, or conceal the use of steroids.
It has been 61 years since Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961. Players are now multi-million-dollar enterprises who hire their own nutritionists, physicians, and trainers, and don't gorge, as Babe Ruth did, on hot dogs and beer. We should expect modern players, with their superior fitness and training, to smash longstanding records.
But one of the enduring effects of the drug scandals in sports is to make us wonder how much of what we see is for real. For every player caught by random tests, how many are missed? And how many great athletes, like Lance Armstrong at the Tour de France, may turn out to be accomplished cheats?
The use of drugs in sports seems to have made many fans mistrust some of the magic we see on the field. It is sad if the misdeeds of some of baseball's biggest frauds cast doubt on Aaron Judge's swing for the record books.

ATLANTA (AP) — The NBA playoff game between the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks was delayed Friday night after a suspicious package was found outside State Farm Arena.
The tipoff was pushed back nearly an hour while police investigated the package. Three gates were closed while security personnel made sure there was no danger.
The package was found near the stairwell that provides access to a MARTA subway station at the arena.
The game finally began shortly before 8 p.m., but many fans in the sellout crowd were still in long lines outside the arena, plodding through security checkpoints that are in place for all games.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Gates 1, 2 and 3 were temporarily closed by the Atlanta Police Department while the police department, K-9 units and arena security worked to clear the arena and investigate the contents,” the arena said in a statement. “The contents of the package were found not to be explosive, and the package was removed safely by the Atlanta Bomb Squad.”
The Heat were leading the best-of-seven series after winning the first two games in Miami. Games 3 and 4 are in Atlanta.

Firms can now audit a much broader group of employee benefit plans including 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit, and health and welfare plans
TORONTO, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Caseware, the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and CPA.com, have released an updated version of OnPoint EBP, a cloud audit engagement solution designed to facilitate the efficient and effective performance of audits of employee benefit plans including 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit, and health and welfare benefit plans.
Powered by the Caseware cloud platform, OnPoint EBP helps firms perform audits of employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). It combines AICPA-developed methodology, engagement management, analytics and advanced client collaboration tools within a single application.
"We initially launched OnPoint EBP in 2020 to support limited scope audits of 401(k) plans as technology and evolving standards transform the way audits are conducted," said Erik Asgeirsson, CEO, CPA.com. "We believe that by equipping auditors with the best tools, we can help facilitate greater quality and provide better insights during their engagements. With this latest release of OnPoint EBP, we are enabling auditors to support a much broader scope of plan types within a single modern solution."
The solution's potential impact can be significant as there are close to 87,000 employee benefit plan audits conducted annually in the United States by more than 4,300 CPA firms.
"When auditing employee benefit plans, traditional practice aids can lead to a fair amount of redundant data entry, under or over-auditing and poor documentation requiring extra work to ensure the audit complies with professional and regulatory requirements," said Scott Epstein, Chief Product Officer at Caseware. "OnPoint EBP offers an integrated, guided methodology that leverages cloud-based technology to produce a dynamic, efficient workflow."
The latest release of OnPoint EBP includes the following new features:
- Expanded scope to facilitate audits of 403(b) plans, defined benefit plans, and health and welfare plans
- Revised financial reporting risk assumptions to better align with inherent risk factors
- New presentation and disclosure checklist tailored for the various types of employee benefit plans
Illinois-based firm JMM CPA specializes in employee benefit plan audits and values how the OnPoint EBP solution helps to streamline workflows and create efficiencies in the audit process. "With the expanded scope of OnPoint EBP, our firm can now audit more types of benefit plans in an efficient manner," said founder James Moyna. "The intelligent file build and reporting functionality based on the plan profile ensures that our auditors get a detailed understanding of the type of plan being audited. The software tailors the audit workflow based on the Plan specifics. This helps us plan the engagement and move to fieldwork with a strong understanding of the audit to be performed."
To support firms in adopting OnPoint EBP, CPA.com offers consulting support and a variety of live and self-study CPE courses.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — On the east side of Buffalo, N.Y., to live means to clean, work, and wait for the bus amidst reminders of horrific violence.
“Every day, you see people out here crying and stuff," said Benjamin Foster as he dropped his stepson at the school bus.
They stood in front of the Tops grocery store, where, on May 14, 10 people were killed inside. Police say the shooter was an 18-year-old who drove hours to target the almost entirely Black community.
What has the community been like since then?
“Uneasy," Foster said. "We’re on alert now."
He then added another detail more personal to him.
“I haven’t been to no supermarket, because it’s like I don’t know what’s gonna happen. And that’s crazy.”
The list keeps growing of American communities coping with mass shootings. Often they leave inescapable trauma upon places and people who had already felt forgotten. The east side is among the most segregated areas in what study after study shows is one of the most segregated cities in America. They fought to get that store which became a crime scene.
“Poverty already existed," said Raziya Hill, who runs the nonprofit Every Bottom Covered. "Then, you lay a pandemic on top of that. And now, I mean, nothing spells racial injustice like a domestic terrorist coming into the Blackest community in Buffalo and slaughtering seniors at a grocery store.”
Hill was raised on the east side, and so was Tandra Parker, who runs the nonprofit Rooted in Love. These days, both organizations continue to work extra long days to give supplies to those who, when the shooting happened, suddenly had no place to get them.
“They would get them at Tops," Parker said. "And what we have to understand is a lot of people have not left that community since the shooting. They’re still dealing with trauma.”
The emotions engulfing so many are written on a whiteboard in the office of Reverend Denise Walden-Glenn. The reverend was the clergy member who met with the families of victims the day of the shooting. On the day we visited, her group VOICE Buffalo was strategizing about urging east siders to vote.
“When you lose someone to violence," Rev. Walden-Glenn said, "it’s like someone reached into your world and snatched something out. This is not a moment that’s going to pass quickly. This is a moment we need to sit with and wrestle with.”
So many want to do something. So many still can’t process the past.
“I come here every day," said Grady Lewis, who was outside Tops on May 14 when he heard what was happening inside.
“I’m drowning myself in it because I’m always gonna see the images," he said, "so I’m trying to get over it that way."
The memorial surrounding Tops is massive, colorful, and full of flowers, mementos, and portraits of the victims.
"I was a minute away from being in there," Lewis said. "And I’m thinking, ‘If I was in there, and I got shot, I don’t want my face in front of no building. I want the people to stand up and make laws to change it so that this never happens to anyone again. I don’t want balloons. I don’t want no flowers, no flags. I want change.”
This is a snapshot. Soon after we left, the Tops grocery store reopened, a decision many didn't support. It’s a journey of grief with no defined end.
But the community must somehow move forward.
They cannot ignore the crime scene at their center. But they must not let that crime erase the community they embrace.
“Buffalo is not just chicken wings and the Bills," said Hill, "and we are not broken right now. We are bruised." | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/two-americas/we-are-not-broken-we-are-bruised-how-communities-move-forward-after-mass-shootings | 2022-07-19 15:35:18 | 1 | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/two-americas/we-are-not-broken-we-are-bruised-how-communities-move-forward-after-mass-shootings |

UTSA wide receiver De’Corian Clark will miss the rest of the season due to a right ACL tear suffered Saturday against UAB, Roadrunners coach Jeff Traylor said Monday.
Clark is set to undergo surgery this week, Traylor said, kicking off a recovery process that is projected to last six to 10 months.
Clark, who entered Saturday leading UTSA with 732 receiving yards and eight touchdowns this season, posted to Twitter on Sunday that he intends to return to the Roadrunners next season. Traylor said conversations around Clark possibly coming back to UTSA for a fifth year were underway prior to the injury.
“We’re going to rehab him like no one ever has, and he’ll take care of his own stuff, I know,” Traylor said. “This is one of the beautiful things about NIL. … You look at a kid who arguably is going to be a third- to fifth-round draft pick who has now had this injury, and I predict he’ll come back stronger than ever. It’s going to take everybody in this city picking him up and encouraging him.”
Clark suffered the injury after making a catch on a comeback route during the final minute of the first quarter Saturday against UAB, with his leg twisting at an unnatural angle as a defender pulled him down by his torso.
Clark traveled back with the Roadrunners after the game and was in UTSA’s Sunday meetings on crutches, Traylor said.
“Man, I love that kid, and I truly had a hard time enjoying the win, because I was so upset for JT,” Traylor said. “I mean that in all sincerity.”
Clark had been a key cog for UTSA, playing most of the Roadrunners’ snaps alongside Zakhari Franklin and Joshua Cephus in an offense that primarily utilized three-receiver sets.
While that trio has combined for 166 catches, 2,099 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, the rest of the Roadrunners’ wideouts are less proven, totaling just two catches for 23 yards before Saturday.
Traylor said the Roadrunners will consider a variety of options to replace the lost production, including the potential of using more sets with two tight ends rather than a third wide receiver.
“Obviously, it’s a huge loss. He’s an unbelievable difference-maker on our team,” Traylor said. “Everyone just has to do a little bit more. If all of us just do a little bit more, we’ll keep finding a way to get home. We just keep finding a way to get home right now.”
Tykee Ogle-Kellogg played the bulk of the snaps in Clark’s absence Saturday, delivering a 2-yard touchdown catch in overtime for his only grab of the day.
Ogle-Kellogg's tantalizing potential has been a talking point since he first stepped on campus before the 2018 season, but through five years he’s totaled just 579 yards with seven touchdowns.
The 2022 season had been the quietest yet for Ogle-Kellogg, as he entered Saturday with one catch for 14 yards.
Traylor last month described the 6-foot-5 Ogle-Kellogg as “super talented,” boasting all the tools to be as productive as UTSA’s top three wideouts.
“It’s always the same with Tykee. It’s never on the field,” Traylor said. “It's always off the field. It’s just maturity issues. Just a young man who is a good kid, and some people might call it petty how I am about that stuff. Study hall matters. Tutorials matter. Being on time matters. … It might sound petty, but to us, it’s a big deal.”
Traylor said Monday that now is Ogle-Kellogg's “turn to step up,” as long as he can meet the off-field demands.
“Only Tykee knows that,” Traylor said. “He has been fantastic the last couple of weeks, but we have to keep stacking days. … I would expect his love for JT is so great that he will not want to let JT down.”
Kick returner Chris Carpenter also “has really come on” at receiver and “will be in the mix” to replace some of Clark’s snaps, Traylor said.
Tre’Von Bradley, often UTSA’s fourth option at receiver the past two years following a transfer from Houston, is no longer with the team after sitting out since the third week of the season, Traylor said Monday.
“Tre’Von and we have mutually agreed for him to move on with the next part of his life,” Traylor said. “It was just best for Tre’Von at this particular time of his life.”
Clark’s injury continues a string of season-ending setbacks to critical pieces, as the Roadrunners are down three of the four position players who earned preseason recognition from Conference USA.
Safety Rashad Wisdom — C-USA’s preseason Defensive Player of the Year — offensive tackle Makai Hart and defensive tackle Brandon Matterson are all sidelined for the year after earning spots on the league’s preseason watch list.
With UTSA (7-2, 5-0) sitting alone atop the C-USA standings with three games to play, Traylor said he continues to feel the Roadrunners’ “best football is in front of us.”
“Maybe we don’t ever get there like I think we’re going to, because of the injuries,” Traylor said. “Maybe we don’t. But I just don’t believe that, because I keep having another player step up to replace the guy we just lost. So, I still think our best football is out there, and I'm just going to keep believing it until it happens.”

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — South African President Cyril Ramaphosa could face criminal charges and is already facing calls to step down over claims that he tried to cover up the theft of millions of dollars in U.S. currency that was hidden inside furniture at his game farm.
The astonishing allegations made by the former head of South Africa’s intelligence agency also include that the suspects in the robbery two years ago were tracked down and kidnapped by Ramaphosa’s presidential protection unit, interrogated on his property, and bribed to keep quiet about the existence of the cash, and nothing was reported to the police.
The accusations badly undermine Ramaphosa’s reputation as a leader dedicated to fighting corruption. He became president in 2018 on promises to clean up government and his graft-tainted ruling party, the African National Congress, which is now a far cry from the days when it was widely respected and led by Nelson Mandela. The scandal, dubbed “farmgate” by the South African press, threatens to end Ramaphosa’s presidency and destabilize Africa’s most developed economy.
This is what we know so far about the scandal:
THE CASH
Former State Security Agency director Arthur Fraser walked into a Johannesburg police station on June 1 and laid a criminal complaint against Ramaphosa over the theft of what Fraser says was more than $4 million in cash that was concealed on the ranch. It sent the country’s media into a frenzy. Fraser alleged in an affidavit that Ramaphosa and others were guilty of money laundering and breaching the country’s foreign currency control laws over the hidden money.
Fraser also claimed that the suspects in the robbery were kidnapped and bribed to stay silent, and Ramaphosa hid the incident from the police and tax authorities. Fraser said he submitted “supporting evidence” to the police that included photographs, video footage and bank account details. He said the robbery happened in February 2020.
THE SPY BOSS
The fact that it was Fraser who made the allegations against Ramaphosa suggests they are politically motivated. Fraser is a well-known loyalist to former President Jacob Zuma and a faction of the ANC that wants Ramaphosa out. Zuma, Ramaphosa’s predecessor, was forced to resign as president in 2018 and is now on trial for corruption. That trial is seen as an indicator of Ramaphosa’s commitment to confront corruption at the highest level.
Fraser was also in the news headlines last year when, as head of the department of corrections, he granted Zuma medical parole from prison against the recommendation of a parole board which advised that Zuma should not be released early after he was convicted of contempt of court. Fraser was South Africa’s spy boss under Zuma from 2016 to 2018.
THE PRESIDENT
The allegations have forced the 69-year-old Ramaphosa to fight for his political life. He has admitted the robbery did happen at his Phala Phala ranch in the northern province of Limpopo but said it was reported to the head of his protection unit, which falls under the South African Police Services. He said the money came from the sale of game animals at the farm and he was “not involved in any criminal conduct.”
Those answers have been seen as woefully inadequate, though. Ramaphosa has refused to say how much money was involved, why it was stashed at his ranch, and if the foreign currency was declared to authorities. He sidestepped a plethora of questions over the scandal at a 90-minute press conference at Parliament last week, where he cut an exhausted, under-pressure figure. He said he wouldn’t comment before a police investigation.
“I’d like the due process to unfold in this matter,” Ramaphosa said.
THE FALLOUT
Ramaphosa was shouted down in Parliament on two consecutive days last week by lawmakers from the Economic Freedom Fighters, the second biggest opposition party. The EFF has since upped its criticism by demanding Ramaphosa resign over the scandal. Two other opposition parties applied this week for Parliament to put Ramaphosa on “sabbatical leave” and start a parliamentary investigation. That was rejected by the speaker of Parliament.
No criminal charges against Ramaphosa have been announced by the police, although a unit that deals with serious and high-profile crimes is investigating Fraser’s allegations. Ramaphosa has said he will voluntarily appear before an ANC integrity committee, which has the power to suspend him as party leader. No date has yet been set for Ramaphosa to appear before the committee.
The timing of the scandal is terrible for Ramaphosa, who already faces daunting political challenges and a critical party election in December that will decide if he stays on as leader of the ANC and, effectively, if he remains president.

'Really happy': Red Wings finish trip in dominating fashion, beat Blue Jackets
Columbus, Ohio - The road trip didn't turn out great for the Red Wings, but it's fair to say it was good.
The Red Wings ended their four-game trip Saturday with a convincing, 6-1 victory over the injury-decimated Columbus Blue Jackets.
"Great" would have likely constituted six, or so, points out of a possible eight. The Wings earned five points, with a 2-1-1 trip, defeating San Jose (Thursday) and Columbus to conclude the trip.
Considering that they opened with a loss in Los Angeles and overtime loss in Anaheim, and having a four-game winless streak at the end of the Anaheim result, the Wings will gladly take this result.
"Really happy," Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said of the end result. "We won the road trip. You always want more points than games, and especially this is a tough road trip. Just going out West, it's hard, it's the travel in it and throwing this one (game) coming back all the way East, I give our guys credit.
"We were a little flat in the first (period) and were probably fortunate to come out of it ahead 1-0. I'm just real happy with the group, the way they responded, not only on the road trip, but the way they responded within these last couple of games."
Filip Hronek continued what is rapidly becoming a legitimate turnaround season with two goals, both in the second period, helping the Wings break a 1-1 tie.
Columbus tied the score just 43 seconds into the second period on Emil Bemstrom's goal. But Hronek put the Wings in front to stay as Columbus defenseman Marcus Bjork made an ill-advised pass into the slot, where Hronek blasted a shot past goaltender Joonas Korpisalo at 6 minutes, 35 seconds.
After Ben Chiarot's second goal of the season, a shot from the point, made it 3-1 at 10:45, Hronek made it 4-1 with his second goal of the game and fourth of the season (and 14th point in 18 games), again wide open near the right dot at 19:17.
"He's been playing amazing," said Moritz Seider, who had three assists in his 100th NHL game.
It was important, Seider said, to conclude this trip on a positive note after the way it began.
"Really important, which we did," Seider said. "We came out and got a little outworked in the first but we stayed with it and just won the special teams (battle) and just shut it down (defensively)."
Dylan Larkin, continuing a fine season of his own, opened the Wings scoring with a power-play goal (Larkin's eighth goal, while also adding two assists) in the first period. Dominik Kubalik's power-play goal in the third period was his team-leading ninth goal. Tyler Bertuzzi scored his first goal to conclude the scoring.
BOX SCORE: Red Wings 6, Blue Jackets 1
Goaltender Ville Husso won his seventh game (7-2-3) making 26 saves. Husso was particularly important the first half with some timely saves, keeping the Wings in front, or tied, until they took control.
"He had a sneaky good game because we were on our heels in the first and we got a little loose at times, and this is a real good transition team and they'll put you on your heels," Lalonde said. "You end up needing a couple of saves and we got that from Ville."
Lalonde was also pleased with the power play, which scored twice against the Blue Jackets. Larkin's goal in the first opened the scoring, and Kubalik's goal effectively squashed any slim hopes Columbus had of rallying.
"It builds momentum," Lalonde said of the power play's effectiveness. "We played a flat first period and we come out of it 1-0 because of our power play, then probably iced it in the end. Special teams have had some ups and down (the penalty kill blanked both Columbus attempts), like our five-on-five play. But for the most part, it's been pretty good for us."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Rookie Nick Pratto hit a game-ending home run in the ninth inning, giving the Kansas City Royals a 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.
Pratto blasted a two-out, 3-2 changeup from Garrett Whitlock (2-2) an estimated 424 feet to center field for his second career homer and first at Kauffman Stadium.
“It was just like any other at-bat where I come up there with a plan and try to execute it,” Pratto said. “Throughout the at-bat he was making a lot of pitches to the edges so I felt like I was hanging in there and not chasing. It was a situation where I felt like I executed.”
Whitlock, who had retired all eight batters he faced before Pratto, was less measured in his assessment of the walk-off homer.
“He hit it out,” Whitlock said. “I'm pissed off, obviously not at you all, not anyone but myself and the guy made a good frickin' swing, but it was a terrible pitch by me.”
The Royals began and ended the game with homers for the second time in team history — the first was on July 3, 1973. MJ Melendez hit his second leadoff homer of the series, a 434-foot drive to right field for his 12th longball this season.
“It's extra special when they have a bunch of their buddies around,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “This is just a unique situation where you have so many guys that have come up together that are pulling for each other and helped each other get here.”
Kyle Isbel also homered for Kansas City.
Bobby Dalbec hit a two-run drive for Boston in the fourth inning and Alex Verdugo went deep in the sixth to tie the game at 4-4.
“We put together some good at-bats, especially at the end of the game,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “It was a good effort, but we didn't end up finishing the game."
Dylan Coleman (3-1) retired the Red Sox in order in the ninth.
Boston's J.D. Martinez doubled in the second inning and scored when Christian Arroyo reached on a fielding error by shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Kansas City has made 27 errors in its last 32 games, the most by any team in that span.
Witt hit a two-run single in the third to put the Royals ahead 3-1.
MIRROR IMAGES
Both starting pitchers had nearly identical numbers. Boston's Nathan Eovaldi and Kansas City's Daniel Lynch each worked six innings, and each allowed four runs on seven hits, including two homers, while walking none. Eovaldi struck out seven to Lynch's six.
UP NEXT
Boston sends RHP Kutter Crawford (3-3, 3.86 ERA) to the mound on Sunday as it seeks a split of the four-game series. RHP Brad Keller (5-12, 4.61), who allowed a career-high eight runs against the White Sox on Tuesday, starts for the Royals.

What’s the best way to layer with a sweater vest?
As the weather changes, pulling out your favorite cool-weather items to layer with a sweater vest is an excellent way to refresh your winter wardrobe. It’s fashionable, effortless and, most importantly, warm.
Sweater vests pair well with turtlenecks, blouses and knit dresses. They can also add a bit of insulation to short-sleeved shirts and a pop of color and texture under a blazer.
The best sweater vests are versatile enough to complement multiple items from your current collection. They should also be comfortable and have a flattering silhouette.
What is a sweater vest?
Sweater vests are made from the same knit material as standard sweaters but don’t have sleeves. Classic designs sport a V-neck with a hemline that lands at the hips and ribbing along the edges. However, they are available in many silhouettes, such as tunics and cropped varieties.
Sweater vest styles
There are five primary silhouettes that make it easy to layer with a sweater vest:
- Classic: This has a V-neck and sits at your hip.
- Tunic: This lands anywhere from your upper to mid-thigh.
- Cropped: This sits just above your hip or higher.
- Oversized: Its hemline can rest anywhere on your body, but it sports a baggy fit.
- Button-up: This has an open front joined by buttons at its center.
How to layer with a sweater vest
There are five ways you can layer with a sweater vest for an easy cold-weather ensemble:
- Blazer: Use this to cover your sweater vest and pair it with any bottoms for a sophisticated style.
- Turtleneck: Pair this and a sweater vest with pants, leggings, jeans or a skirt with tights and boots for an effortless yet warm outfit.
- T-shirt: Add a sweater vest with jeans, slacks or leggings for a fashionable yet casual aesthetic.
- Button-up: Layer this under a sweater vest and wear them with jeans, pants, leggings or a skirt with tights for a polished ensemble.
- Shirtdress: Layer your sweater vest over this with tights and boots for a chic look.
Sweater vest FAQ
What’s the best color for a sweater vest?
If you want a sweater vest that goes with everything in your wardrobe, consider getting one in a neutral color such as gray, black, brown, tan or white.
Can you prevent your sweater vest from pilling?
A. Pilling is often the result of excess friction, which can come from a purse or bag rubbing against the fabric as you walk or by putting it in the dryer. Watch what type of bag you pair your vest with; preferably, avoid shoulder bags that land at your ribcage. It’s also good to skip the dryer and lay it flat to dry.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Orlando Magic led by 18 points with less than five minutes left in regulation of their NBA Summer League against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, well on their way to a victory.
They wound up getting that win — after some very wild events down the stretch.
Emanuel Terry’s layup off a pass from No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero gave the Magic a 94-92 victory in sudden-death overtime, capping a frantic finish to a game that had a little bit of everything in the final moments.
“That’s a game I’ll probably never, ever forget,” Magic summer coach Jesse Mermuys said.
With good reason. Sacramento closed regulation on a 23-5 run, getting the last six of those points in the final 5.1 seconds on a pair of 3-pointers to force overtime.
The fun was just getting started.
Keon Ellis banked in a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left in the first 2-minute overtime, putting Sacramento up 92-89. But the Kings fouled Devin Cannady with 6.2 seconds left, and he swished all three free throws to tie it.
Ellis missed a short jumper with a second left in OT, and Cannady nearly won the game there with a 60-foot heave that bounced off the rim. That sent the teams to a second overtime, sudden death, first score wins.
Banchero was called for a foul on the first Sacramento possession and the Kings would have gone to the line to shoot free throws — but after a lengthy review, the call was overturned. Orlando got the ball, Banchero found Terry down low, and the Magic got their winner.
“This was one of the most fun games I’ve ever been a part of,” Cannady said. “I’ve played in the NCAA Tournament, obviously I’ve played in NBA games, but this was basketball at its purest.”
Banchero scored 23 points for the Magic and had six rebounds, six assists and four steals. Admiral Schofield scored 14 points for Orlando.
Neemias Queta topped Sacramento with 23 points. Keegan Murray, the No. 4 pick, scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Queta hit the first 3-pointer in the final moments of regulation to give Sacramento a chance, and Murray made the tying one with two-tenths of a second remaining.
RAPTORS 97, 76ERS 77
Armoni Brooks made five 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Delano Banton added 21 and Toronto breezed to a victory over Philadelphia.
Christian Koloko, the Raptors’ only pick in this year’s draft, added 12 points and seven rebounds. The No. 33 overall pick added three steals and three blocks.
Isaiah Joe buried 7 of 9 shots from 3-point range, scoring 24 points to pace the Sixers.
HEAT 88, CELTICS 78
Mychal Mulder scored 23 points to help Miami beat Boston.
Mulder made 5 of 8 shots from 3-point range for the Heat. Serbia’s Nikola Jovic, the 27th overall selection and Miami’s only pick in the draft, missed two free throws and his only shot attempt. He grabbed four rebounds in just under 14 minutes of action.
Matt Ryan topped Boston with 15 points, and Mfiondu Kabengele had 14. JD Davison, the Celtics’ only pick in the draft (53rd overall), finished with 10 points, six rebounds and six assists.
PISTONS 105, WIZARDS 99
Isaiah Livers scored 20 points in Detroit’s victory over Washington.
Jalen Duren, the 13th overall pick whom the Pistons acquired in a draft-day trade with Charlotte, had 13 points and six rebounds. Jaden Ivey, the fifth overall selection, scored 11 points in a little over five minutes of action before leaving because of a sprained right ankle.
Jordan Schakel had 24 points, and Jordan Goodwin had 20 to pace Washington. Johnny Davis — the 10th overall pick — finished with six points and five rebounds.
JAZZ 72, HAWKS 66
Jared Butler had 15 points and seven assists to lead Utah past Atlanta.
Kofi Cockburn added 13 rebounds and six points for the Jazz.
Chaundee Brown Jr. scored 15 poins to lead Atlanta. Justin Tillman added 12. A.J. Griffin, the Hawks’ top pick at No. 16, did not play.
ROCKETS 90, THUNDER 88
No. 17 overall pick Tari Eason made the second of two free throws with 4.1 seconds left and Houston held off Oklahoma City.
Eason finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. No. 3 overall pick Jabari Smith had 12 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Josh Christopher had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
Jalen Williams, one of OKC’s three first-round draft picks, topped the Thunder with 15 points. No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren had 12 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Ousmane Dieng — the 11th overall selection acquired in a trade with the Knicks — added 10 points and six rebounds.
CLIPPERS 94, GRIZZLIES 76
Reggie Perry had 17 points and Brandon Boston Jr. scored 15 to lead Los Angeles past Memphis.
Second-rounder Moussa Diabate, the Clippers’ only pick in the draft, had 10 points and six rebounds.
Kenneth Lofton Jr. topped Memphis with 18 points. First-round pick David Roddy had 10.
TRAIL BLAZERS 85, PELICANS 68
Trendon Watford had 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists to power Portland past New Orleans.
Second-round pick Jabari Walker finished with 12 points and five rebounds for the Trail Blazers.
Trey Murphy III had 23 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the Pelicans. No. 8 overall pick Dyson Daniels missed all five of his shots and 1 of 2 free throws. Second-rounder E.J. Liddell scored two points on 1-for-6 shooting.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s highest court on Thursday ordered a temporary freeze on the funds of the country’s pro-Kurdish party as it mulls whether to disband it over accusations of links to Kurdish militants.
The decision comes weeks after a top prosecutor asked Turkey’s Constitutional Court to block bank accounts from which the Treasury disburses funds to the Peoples’ Democratic Party, or HDP - the country’s third biggest.
The prosecutor is separately seeking to shut the party down on terror-related charges in a move seen as part of a growing crackdown on the opposition in the run-up to elections likely to be held before June.
The Constitutional Court gave the HDP a month to present arguments against the prosecutor’s demand.
The Treasury provides financial assistance to political parties represented in parliament, and the HDP was set to receive 539 million Turkish lira (some $29 million) this year, according to media reports.
The prosecutor is accusing the HDP of allegedly colluding with the banned Kurdistan Worker’s Party, or PKK. He is scheduled to plead his case to shut the party down next week.
HDP spokeswoman Ebru Gunay criticized the court's decision, accusing it of “being a tool” of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's campaign to “seize the will of the peoples of Turkey."
The HDP rejects accusations that it acts on behalf of the PKK, insisting that it is struggling for increased rights for Kurds and other minorities through legal means. It says it is being targeted by Erdogan’s government because of its past electoral success and growing appeal beyond Turkey’s Kurdish-majority southeast region.
Dozens of elected HDP lawmakers and mayors — including former co-chairs Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag — as well as thousands of party members have been arrested on terror-related accusations as part of a clampdown on the party. Meanwhile, several HDP mayors who were voted in local elections in 2019 have been replaced by state-appointed trustees.
The PKK, considered a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies, has waged an insurgency since 1984. The conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Turkish-court-orders-temporary-freeze-of-Kurdish-17696188.php | 2023-01-05 13:42:04 | 0 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Turkish-court-orders-temporary-freeze-of-Kurdish-17696188.php |
Op-Ed: Here’s how to tighten the oil spigot that finances Russia’s war without hurting the world economy
A cap on the price of Russian crude oil sold on global markets went into effect on Monday. This is an important step toward reducing Russia’s capacity to continue the war in Ukraine.
The cap was designed with two major goals in mind: to prevent Russia from disrupting global oil markets, and to limit the Kremlin’s oil revenues. So far it has fared well. But to make continued progress, the coalition imposing the cap — the G-7, the European Union and Australia — should create a policy committee, with regular monthly meetings, charged with assessing the effect of the cap and announcing further tightening of the scheme, as appropriate.
The EU this week announced it would no longer buy Russian crude and no longer allow its service providers, including banks and insurance companies, to support this trade. This step was laudable, but Russia is a major oil exporter — selling about 8 million barrels a day, in a world that consumes just over 100 million barrels per day. There was a real danger that the EU embargo would reduce Russian oil flow in a way that would also drive up oil prices so much that Putin’s regime would receive a windfall gain.
History will show that the cartel is choosing the wrong side.
Putin would like nothing more than a higher world price of oil, which would also cause inflation to spike, slow growth and create more political tensions everywhere. Putin has achieved this result in the natural gas market by reducing exports to Europe and market manipulation, which has caused soaring prices and strains on European economies.
The oil price cap stipulates that Western companies can transport, finance and insure Russian oil exports, but only if these take place at or below $60 per barrel. The Brent benchmark oil price was around $86 late last week but fell to roughly $83 on Monday. Over the weekend, financial reporters everywhere were focused on the impending embargo. By Tuesday morning, it was clear that global oil prices have not spiked.
The second goal is to immediately reduce Putin’s revenue from oil, below what he has received so far in 2022. Oil exports are currently providing nearly 50% of Russian government revenue, as well as almost all the foreign currency needed to stabilize the ruble and make it possible to buy weapons, missile parts and ammunition from abroad.
According to two leading data sources, the price of Russian oil from the Baltic and the Black Sea fell to the range of $45 to $55 per barrel in late November, presumably because the stigma, inconvenience and uncertainty of buying Russian oil has increased. If this continues, Russian revenue will soon be squeezed in a meaningful way.
A price cap imposed by a broad coalition of countries is a dramatic example of international policy coordination. But because it is so novel, the policy will undoubtedly need adjustment and continuous assessment. To do that, the coalition should create a body somewhat similar to the federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy in the United States. The committee could meet monthly, perhaps led by the U.S. Treasury Secretary and a top EU official. A permanent staff could perform detailed analysis of the Russian oil revenue stream and other aspects of the cap program, based on information from the G-7 finance ministries, the International Monetary Fund, the International Energy Agency and private sector sources.
“We cannot carry on war and trade with a people at the same time,” Gen. Sherman said. That’s true now with Europe financing the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine by buying Russian oil and gas.
After each meeting, the chair and vice chair of the committee could provide an assessment of the current Russian oil revenue stream and, if deemed appropriate, announce further reductions in the cap — for example, in response to additional missile attacks or war atrocities by Russia.
The committee can also issue “forward guidance,” to give the private sector an indication of what is likely to come next and support advanced planning among businesses and market participants. The aim is to reduce Russian oil revenue as effectively as possible, without destabilizing the world oil market.
Used appropriately, the new policy instrument can deliver significant weakening of Russia’s ability to wage war while minimizing economic costs for people across the globe. Ultimately, it will support broader international efforts to end the current war and ensure Russia will never again have the resources to engage in this kind of illegal aggression.

President Biden delivered a statement on International Women’s Day, using the remarks as a chance to call out a number of countries for repressing women’s rights.
In a statement, Biden said that while Wednesday marks a celebration of the accomplishments and contributions of women and girls around the world, there are still instances of women’s rights in dire conditions in several countries, saying that these ongoing situations are holding back growth in “entire communities.”
Biden called out the repression of women’s rights in Afghanistan and Iran, as well as the violence women are facing amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“Despite decades of progress, in far too many places around the world, the rights of women and girls are still under attack, holding back entire communities,” Biden said in his statement. “We see it in Afghanistan, where the Taliban bars women and girls from attending school and pursuing employment.”
“We see it in Iran, where the regime is brutally repressing the voices of women who are courageously standing up for their freedom,” Biden added. “And in the face of Russia’s vicious and unjust invasion of Ukraine, including the use of rape as a weapon of war, we see countless stories of women bravely fighting for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all Ukrainians.”
Biden also said in his statement that the U.S. will continue to stand with women and girls all around the world in an effort to advance and protect human rights, noting that his administration will continue to collaborate with “dedicated partners and local communities in every part of the world to expand economic security for women and girls” such as defending healthcare access, safeguarding women’s political participation and human rights, and promoting the full participation of women and girls in all facets of society.
Biden’s comments come as the United Nations (U.N.) on Wednesday declared that Afghanistan is the most repressive country for women in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover in 2021. The regime has stripped away a number of rights from women and girls that include prohibiting them from attending schools and universities and banning them from working.
“As we continue working to implement our first-ever National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality, we are focused on lifting up the rights of women and girls through every aspect of both our foreign and domestic policy,” Biden concluded in his statement.
“This is a defining feature of who we are as a nation and the values we hold dear as Americans. So let us continue to strive toward a future where women have an equal seat at the table, an equal voice in shaping decisions, and an equal opportunity to contribute fully to their nations.” | https://www.wjhl.com/hill-politics/biden-criticizes-conditions-in-afghanistan-ukraine-on-international-womens-day/ | 2023-03-08 17:05:38 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/hill-politics/biden-criticizes-conditions-in-afghanistan-ukraine-on-international-womens-day/ |
TOKYO (AP) — The United States is working with Japan and other likeminded countries to counter China’s efforts to use its economic might to force political change around the world, the U.S. ambassador to Japan said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
Rahm Emanuel, who was previously mayor of Chicago and chief of staff for President Barack Obama, is pushing what he calls “commercial diplomacy,” the idea that the United States and Japan will be more eager to do business with each other and with similar secure and stable countries amid worries caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and Chinese economic coercion.
“From intellectual property theft to coercion to debt dependency that China creates, the idea that they could actually honestly say, ‘We don’t coerce,’ and then you have not one, not two, not three – many worldwide examples where they use their economic market access to force a political change in a country … I think everybody’s woken up to that,” Emanuel said in the interview at his residence in the heart of downtown Tokyo.
Emanuel, who arrived in Japan in January, laid out a number of examples of Chinese coercion, including with Japan, which saw Chinese shipments of rare earth metals blocked over a territorial dispute; South Korea, which suffered Chinese business boycotts when it installed a U.S. missile defense system; Australia; and countries in Europe and Southeast Asia.
China’s growing economic importance and spending abroad have rattled those countries, which worry that Beijing is increasing its strategic and political influence in their traditional spheres of influence.
China has become one of the biggest lenders to developing countries through its “Belt and Road Initiative” to expand trade by building ports, railways and other infrastructure across Asia, Africa and the Middle East to Europe. This has prompted accusations Beijing is using debt to gain political leverage, but Chinese officials deny that.
China has been more assertive about pressing other governments to embrace Chinese-led initiatives including a trade group, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
Emanuel said that finding ways for Japan and the United States to stand up to Chinese economic coercion was one of the first issues he raised with Japan’s foreign minister.
Japan has expressed deep worry about increased Chinese activities in regional seas, including near a Japanese-controlled island claimed by Beijing, and has pushed for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Emanuel praised Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s pledge of a “significant increase” in both the country’s defense budget and its military capabilities.
Kishida’s attempts to revise Japan’s national security strategy and basic defense guidelines are a legacy of his hawkish mentor, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July.
Kishida has also said he is open to the development of possible preemptive strike capabilities, which opponents say would go far beyond Japan’s war-renouncing constitution, which restricts the use of force to self-defense. Kishida also has proposed significantly increasing Japan’s defense budget — possibly doubling to 2% of GDP, a NATO standard — over the next five years.
“Much to the prime minister’s credit, he looked around the corner and realized what was happening in this region and the world — Japan needed to step up in ways it hadn’t in the past,” Emanuel said.
Emanuel also mentioned economic opportunities for Japan and the United States in electric vehicle batteries, energy, new research and technology in small modular nuclear reactors, aviation technology and semiconductors.
The business leaders whom he has met with as ambassador to Japan would have evaluated a capital expenditure decision in the past purely by considering cost, logistics and efficiency, he said, but they are now willing to pay more to avoid sanctions and instability.
“That is a major change in thinking,” he said.
For “the last 20 or 30 years, cost and efficiency were the driving factors. They drove public policy, and they drove corporate decisions. Today cost and efficiency are being replaced, supplanted by stability and sustainability,” Emanuel said.

Yellen says no federal bailout for Silicon Valley Bank
By CHRIS MEGERIAN
Associated Press
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the federal government won’t bail out Silicon Valley Bank, but is working to help depositors who are concerned about their money. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $250,000. But many of the companies and wealthy people who used the bank had more than that amount in their account. There are fears that some workers across the country won’t receive their paychecks. Yellen, in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” emphasized that the situation was much different from the financial crisis almost 15 years ago, which led to bank bailouts to protect the industry. | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/03/12/yellen-says-no-federal-bailout-for-silicon-valley-bank-2/ | 2023-03-12 14:29:07 | 0 | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/03/12/yellen-says-no-federal-bailout-for-silicon-valley-bank-2/ |
MADRID (AP) — Protesters including brothel owners and sex workers demonstrated Monday in front of the Spanish Parliament over a bill that would penalize prostitution customers and sex club owners or pimps with sentences up to 4 years in prison.
The bill backed by the ruling left-wing PSOE party proposes broadening the definition of pimping, not making the exploitation of a prostitute necessary but a mere trade relation. For the first time in Spain, it would also penalize customers.
Demonstrators wore face masks and used bright red umbrellas to conceal their identities.
“We ask the socialist party to withdraw the bill, that implies an actual abolition of prostitution and condemns us to work underground,” said Susana Pastor, the president of the Platform against Abolition. She owns an apartment in Valencia where women rent rooms to offer sexual services.
“I came here today to protect my job,” said one demonstrator, Sandra, a single mother who has done sex work for 12 years.
But the new sex worker union Otras didn’t back Monday’s protest because sex club owners arranged it.
“They don’t look after sex workers’ rights at all,” Otras secretary general Concha Borrell told The Associated Press.
Borrell demands legal contracts for sex workers and estimates there are around 200,000 in Spain.
Both Otras and sex business owners deny the government’s official data that 90% of the sex work in the country is forced. Police say 491 victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation were rescued in Spain in 2021.
On a European level, the European Parliament estimates there are up to 180,000 trafficking victims exploited in prostitution and the industry generates 10.8 billion euros ($10.9 billion) a year in the bloc.
Spain is considered one of the laxest legal frames for prostitution in Europe, only punishing when exploitation or abuse can be proven. The proposed bill would punish both clients and enablers. It still needs to pass through parliament.
Spain has also recently forbidden the advertising of prostitution.

MINOT, N.D. (KXNET) — You may have seen them cruising up and down the road, but now one car club is trying out something different.
KX News has more on-the-day classic car enthusiasts looking forward to Thursdays in the summer.
The Dakota Cruisers car club has been meeting in the U-Haul parking lot all summer. Originally the meetups were on Wednesdays, but now they’re on Thursdays.
“We kind of congregate here in the U-Haul parking lot on South Broadway. And then people stand around and shoot the breeze, shall we say. And then anytime we want, we’ll hit Broadway and go up and down, Broadway. Some will do it one time, up and down, and some will do it three or four times,” said Dakota Crusiers President, George Masters.
This Thursday was a sponsored event with Verendrye Electric Cooperative to promote electric cars, which is the second time they’ve done this.
“How they work, what they cost to operate. From our standpoint as a utility, whether the car will work for you or not doesn’t matter because people are gonna buy them. And it works for people and maybe not yet for others,” said Tom Rafferty, the member services manager at Verendrye Electric Cooperative.
Although most of the Dakota Cruisers cars are older and run on gas, Masters says the club is open-minded.
“So I think even though a lot of us don’t know much about electric vehicles, I think it’s a thing of the future. And Verendrye Electric, obviously being a co-op in the area is trying to help spread the word about what they have and how electric vehicles work,” said Masters.
Rafferty says he knows electric cars aren’t for everyone, but he hopes people can at least learn more about them through events like this.
“They work for certain cases. Some people they don’t work. In the winter you lose half your range. Sometimes that’s not acceptable depending on how far you’re driving, but me, daily use around town, I drive back and forth to Velva. It’s a great little commuter car,” said Rafferty.
He also says electric vehicles are becoming more affordable and attainable for those who want them.
The Dakota Cruisers’ next big event is Motor Magic at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds from September 2 through 4.
People can expect to see drag racing, a car show, and a lot more. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/dakota-cruisers-and-verendrye-team-up-for-electric-cars/ | 2022-08-19 04:03:46 | 0 | https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/dakota-cruisers-and-verendrye-team-up-for-electric-cars/ |
North Korea fires 2 short-range missiles into the sea as US docks nuclear submarine in South Korea
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern sea early Wednesday in what appeared to be a statement of defiance as the United States deploys a nuclear-armed submarine to South Korea for the first time in decades.
The launches came as the U.S.-led United Nations Command tries to secure the release of a U.S. soldier who fled to North Korea from the South Korean side of a border village Tuesday afternoon.
Private 2nd Class Travis King, in his early 20s, had just been released from a South Korean prison where he was held on assault charges. Instead of getting on a plane to be taken back to Fort Bliss, Texas, he left and joined a tour of the Korean border village of Panmunjom, where he ran across the border, U.S. officials say.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that from 3:30 to 3:46 a.m. North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles from an area near capital Pyongyang that flew about 550 kilometers (341 miles) before landing in waters east of the Korean Peninsula.
Those flight details were similar to the assessment of the Japanese military, which said the missiles landed outside of Japan’s exclusive economic zone and that there were no immediate reports of damage from ships or aircraft in affected areas.
The flight distance of the North Korean missiles roughly matched the distance between Pyongyang and the South Korean port city of Busan, where the USS Kentucky arrived Tuesday afternoon in the first visit by a U.S. nuclear-armed submarine to South Korea since the 1980s.
Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada told reporters that the North Korean missiles traveled on a low trajectory, with their maximum altitude reaching about 50 kilometers (31 miles), and possibly demonstrated “irregular maneuver” in flight.
Japan has previously used similar language to describe the flight characteristics of a North Korean weapon modeled after Russia’s Iskander missile, which travels at low altitudes and is designed to be maneuverable in flight to improve its chances of evading missile defenses.
Wednesday’s launches marked the North’s first ballistic activity since July 12, when it flight-tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile that demonstrated potential range to reach deep into the U.S. mainland. That launch was supervised by the country’s authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, who vowed to further bolster his country’s nuclear fighting capabilities in the face of expanding U.S.-South Korean military activities, which he blamed for worsening the security environment on the Korean Peninsula.
Tensions have rose in the region in recent months as the pace of both North Korean weapons tests and U.S.-South Korean joint military drills have increased in a cycle of tit-for-tat.
Since the start of 2022, North Korea has test-fired around 100 missiles while attempting to demonstrate a dual ability to conduct nuclear attacks on both South Korea and the continental United States. The allies in response have stepped up their joint military training and agreed to increase the deployments of U.S. strategic assets like long-range bombers, air craft carriers and submarines to the region.
Periodic visits by U.S. nuclear ballistic missile-capable submarines to South Korea were one of several agreements reached by the two countries’ presidents in April in response to North Korea’s expanding nuclear threat. They also agreed to establish a bilateral Nuclear Consultative Group and expand military exercises.
Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at Washington’s Center for a New American Security, said the deployment of a U.S. nuclear-armed submarine is a “significant display” of Washington’s commitment to extended deterrence, referring to an assurance to defend its allies with its full military capabilities, including nuclear.
“Placing nuclear weapons offshore and on submarines is actually a stronger deterrent in many ways … deterrence is strengthened when the location of American strategic assets is unknown to the adversary as long as the adversary knows that these weapons exist,” said Kim.
Still, Seoul and Washington will need to find the “sweet spot” when it comes to the visibility of America’s extended deterrent.
“Too much visibility of strategic assets could actually undermine the deterrent effect while too little could raise questions in Seoul about commitment,” Kim said.

Purdue became this season’s first unanimous No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll Monday after wins over Michigan and Michigan State last week as chaos ensued behind the Boilermakers among other ranked teams.
More than half of Top 25 teams lost, including second-ranked Alabama, which was routed by Oklahoma in the Big 12-SEC Challenge. That allowed Purdue to grab the remaining No. 1 votes and tighten its grip atop the poll, while Tennessee jumped two spots to second and Houston held onto third in voting by 62 national media members.
The Boilermakers (21-1) have won eight straight since a one-point loss to Rutgers on Jan. 2.
“We’re the No. 1 team in the country because of how unselfish we are as a team,” Purdue guard David Jenkins Jr. said. “We had a lot of people doubting us in the beginning because, you know, we may not be the most talented team or whatever, but we’re close on the court and off the court and it’s really translating to how we’re winning.”
The Volunteers climbed to their highest perch since reaching No. 1 for four weeks during the 2018-19 season. They routed Georgia before becoming one of three SEC teams to beat Big 12 opponents on Saturday, knocking off No. 10 Texas 82-71 for their fifth consecutive win over a top-10 team.
Perhaps this is the year Rick Barnes finally gets the Vols through the Sweet 16 for the first time as their coach.
“We have a chance to be as good as we want to be,” he said. “It’s up to one thing: Are we tough enough to embrace the daily grind? And not worry about going to the Final Four or worry about going to the NCAA Tournament, but can we build a team that can be successful that time of year? It starts with truly embracing the grind.”
The Crimson Tide dropped to fourth after the blowout loss to the Sooners, when Alabama fell behind by 17 at halftime in an eventual 93-69 defeat. The Tide edged fifth-ranked Arizona by just two points in this week’s poll.
“It doesn’t have any effect on SEC standings, which is the only good thing to come out of this,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said of the lopsided loss. “Hopefully we’ll recover from a loss out of conference, but you know, it’s not good.”
Virginia was sixth and Kansas State, which rebounded from a narrow loss at No. 13 Iowa State by pummeling Florida on Saturday, fell two spots to seventh; the Wildcats face eighth-ranked Kansas in a top-10 showdown Tuesday night.
UCLA dropped to ninth after losing to Southern California and Texas rounded out the top 10.
Baylor continued its climb from unranked to No. 11 following wins over the Jayhawks and Arkansas. The Bears were followed by Gonzaga, Iowa State, Marquette and league rival TCU — the sixth Big 12 team in the top 15.
Xavier, Providence, Saint Mary’s, Florida Atlantic and Clemson completed the top 20, while poll returners Indiana and San Diego State joined Miami, UConn and Auburn in rounding out the Top 25.
RISING AND FALLING
The No. 11 Bears and No. 17 Providence made the biggest leaps, each climbing six spots from last week.
“I think our defense is better. Our turnovers are better. When you don’t give people easy transition baskets, now its five-on-five in the half court,” said Baylor coach Scott Drew, whose team had a date with the Longhorns on Monday night.
“We execute at a pretty high rate,” Drew said. “It really comes down to taking care of the ball, making sure we get shots up and when you don’t make them, you’ve got to get rebounds. And our guys are buying into that.”
Auburn took the biggest hit of those still in the poll, dropping 10 places after losses to unranked Texas A&M and West Virginia.
IN AND OUT
The Hoosiers returned to the poll at No. 21 and the Aztecs rejoined it right behind them. They took the place of Charleston, which fell out from No. 18 after losing to Hofstra, and New Mexico, which lost to Nevada in double overtime last week.
CONFERENCE CALL
The Big 12’s dominance of the SEC in the final year of their head-to-head challenge was rewarded in the poll, where the league led the way with six ranked teams and all of them in the top 15. The Big East has four teams in the poll but none higher than No. 14 Marquette, while the SEC and ACC have three teams apiece.

12-year-old in stolen car killed in shootout with owner, police say
DENVER (KUSA) - As police in Denver investigate, there are still a lot of questions surrounding what led up to the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old boy in a stolen car.
Denver Police say they got a report Sunday about a car stolen from the Central Park neighborhood. The car’s owner said he was using an app to track it and eventually saw it stop all the way at an intersection in the Sun Valley neighborhood, about 15 minutes away.
According to police, the owner went to the car’s location and approached the stolen vehicle before he was “involved in an exchange of gunfire.”
After the exhange, police say 12-year-old Elias Armstrong drove the car a few blocks away, where he was found injured from a gunshot. Police believe other people in the stolen car ran away.
Armstrong was taken to the hospital but didn’t make it.
Police say the car’s owner talked to officers about the incident. He had not been arrested as of Wednesday, as the investigation continues.
Police have not determined who fired first or what led up to the exchange of gunfire. All of it is under investigation and will be factors in the “current determination regarding arrest.” It’s also unclear if the car’s owner informed police before taking action.
Ultimately, it is the district attorney’s office who will decide if charges should be filed.
Some residents of the Sun Valley neighborhood feel the fact a 12-year-old boy lost his life in this incident is heartbreaking.
Denver City Councilwoman Jamie Torres shared the same sentiment in a statement.
“I’m heartbroken that this ended in the death of a 12-year-old,” she said. “I know auto theft is a growing issue, not just in Denver but everywhere, and it’s infuriating to be victimized like that. But I discourage any resident to taking a vigilante approach.”
A police spokesperson said in a statement that they recommend against owners trying to recover their own stolen vehicles, saying car thieves could be armed. Instead, victims are encouraged to provide any details to police, including the location if the car can be tracked.

Clinical trial results indicate that high eosinophil cell counts reflect a major sign of disease vs primary cause, according to experts at Cincinnati Children's
CINCINNATI, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The good news: a monoclonal antibody treatment called benralizumab proved quite effective in a clinical trial at depleting the number of eosinophils found in the blood and digestive tract tissues of patients with eosinophilic gastritis.
The not-so-good news: eliminating eosinophils was not enough to stop the symptoms people feel with this uncommon and severe form of food allergy. Nor did the treatment affect key measures of gut tissue health and related gene expression patterns.
These paradigm-shifting Phase 2 clinical trial results were published online June 16, 2023, in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
"Our findings suggest that the mechanisms driving this disease are in large part independent of excessive eosinophil production. That means our attention should turn towards other therapeutic targets to find curative treatments and that how we define remission for this disease should be reconsidered," says Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD, corresponding author for the study and one of the world's foremost authorities on eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID).
Rothenberg directs the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children's. He also leads the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) at Cincinnati Children's and serves as principal investigator and co-leader of the national Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR).
Rothenberg has devoted decades to studying and treating children living with this collection of severe inflammatory reactions to otherwise common foods. For many, the allergic reactions are so strong that they must follow extremely strict and limited diets. The eating difficulties can limit growth and lead to other longer-term complications.
What are EGIDs?
EGIDs have been distinguished from other food allergies because symptoms typically do not occur immediately after consuming the offending food. Patients with EGID have abnormally high levels of eosinophils in their digestive tract tissues. Eosinophils are one of several types of white blood cells that are part of our normally protective immune system. But they occur in high amounts in certain diseases such as EGID and asthma. In the case of asthma, eosinophils can promote excessive inflammation and tissue damage and reducing their levels can have substantial clinical benefit. But the exact role of eosinophils in EGID has not yet been determined.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is the most common EGID, affecting an estimated 1 in 2,000 people (or about 166,000 people in the US). Less than 50,000 people in the US, combined, are believed to have other EGIDs including eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis.
Over the years, eosinophil counts have emerged as the key biomarker for tracking the severity of EGID. Pharmaceutical companies also have been testing new and existing biologics and other treatments for their ability to reduce eosinophil counts. Benralizumab, made by AstraZeneca, is one such drug, as it safely removes eosinophils from the body and is now approved therapy for severe asthma associated with eosinophils.
Mixed results for eosinophil-depleting drug.
The study conducted by Kara Kliewer, PhD, Rothenberg, and their colleagues involved 26 patients with active eosinophilic gastritis disease, ages 12 to 60, who were randomly assigned to receive either the treatment drug or a placebo. Participants received three injections each across 12 weeks.
Of the 13 who received the drug, 10 achieved technical "remission." That means the number of eosinophils in their blood and stomach dropped substantially, in fact, almost to zero.
However, there were no statistically significant differences in symptoms including pain, endoscopic findings, quality of life scores, or other measures reported between the drug and placebo groups. Although structural tissue abnormalities improved for six of the 13 drug-treated participants, they worsened or remained the same for the other seven. Meanwhile, an analysis of 48 genes known to be affected by eosinophilic disorders showed no improvement in abnormal expression patterns.
"These findings provide compelling evidence for a changed paradigm, shifting attention away from eosinophils as the main contributor and biomarker in eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases," says Kliewer. "Thus, successful management of eosinophilic gastritis may require inhibiting pathways that more broadly reduce type 2 inflammation rather than only targeting eosinophils."
What does this mean for patients and families?
Mostly, these results suggest that patients will have to wait longer for improved treatments to be developed for eosinophilic gastritis, Rothenberg says. However, our Cincinnati Children's research team's multiprong research approach means that several other treatment avenues were already being pursued in parallel to eosinophil-depleting possibilities.
Current standard treatments, such as diet management, anti-inflammatory steroid medications and pain relievers, should continue. If patients are receiving off-label treatments with IL-5 blockers (eosinophil-depleting drugs), they are not likely to see significant benefits, Rothenberg says.
Families with specific questions are encouraged to contact the specialist managing their child's care.
Next steps
Researchers are likely to shift their focus to intensify studying therapies that act against other aspects of eosinophilic disease.
In 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of dupilumab—a drug already approved for treating eczema and asthma--as the first treatment specifically approved in the US for EoE. This drug, also a monoclonal antibody, blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling, thus targeting type 2 inflammation rather than just eosinophils.
Rothenberg was a co-first author of the study that laid out the Phase 3 clinical trial results, which were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The symptom improvement seen in dupilumab- treated patients with EoE suggests that it may also work for the other less common forms of EGID. Through CEGIR, Rothenberg and other national experts are currently testing the theory that dupilumab may be beneficial for other forms of EGID, such as eosinophilic gastritis.
Meanwhile, Rothenberg says CEGIR is using the current findings to revise practice guidelines for EGID treatment so that they rely less heavily on eosinophil counts as a biomarker.
"Many people had high hopes that depleting eosinophils would make a large impact on EGIDs, but this is why clinical trials are so important," Rothenberg says. "Even when results are disappointing, we learn from them and that allows us to move on to other potential approaches to improve outcomes."
About this study
In addition to Rothenberg, Cincinnati Children's co-authors for this study included first author Kara Kliewer, PhD, Cristin Murray-Petzold, BS, Margaret Collins, MD, Juan Abonia, MD, Scott Bolton, MD, Lauren DiTommaso, BS, Lisa Martin, MD, Xue Zhang, MD, Vincent Mukkada, MD, Philip Putnam, MD, Erinn Kellner, MD, Ashley Devonshire, MD, Justin Schwartz, MD, Chen Rosenberg, MD, John Lyles, MD, and Tetsuo Shoda, MD.
Co-authors also included Vidhya Kunnathur, MD, from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and Amy Klion, MD, with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
This study was funded primarily by AstraZeneca.

Virginia jury rejects Costa Rica woman's claims about sex trafficking ring
Two of the officers admitted to being clients of a madam and resigned from the police force
A Virginia jury rejected claims by a Costa Rican woman who accused a police chief and three officers of conspiring to protect a sex-trafficking ring she said threatened to harm her family if she ran away.
An eight-person civil jury in Alexandria found that the woman was not a victim of trafficking but a willing sex worker. Once that conclusion was reached, jurors didn't have to question of the officers' alleged involvement in protecting the prostitution ring.
The officers sued included former Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler, James Baumstark, a former captain who is now the deputy chief in Asheville, North Carolina, and officers Michael Barbazette and Jason Mardocco. The woman claimed Roessler protected the human trafficking ring in northern Virginia until it was busted in 2019 by the FBI.
TEXAS MAN CONFESSES TO DECAPITATING NEWLYWED ‘UNDOCUMENTED’ WIFE: REPORT
The officers denied the claims. Barbazette and Mardocco admitted to being clients of the ring's leader, Hazel Sanchez, and resigned from the police force after their phone numbers were found in Sanchez's phone.
The woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, claimed she was lured to the United States from Costa Rica in 2010 with promises of work as a nanny, housekeeper and a high-end escort. She said she was told having sex with clients wasn't mandatory.
She said she was forced to perform sex acts with as many as 17 men a day and that Sanchez kept her employed by confiscating her passport and threatening to harm her family if she ran away. Defense lawyers pointed out that the woman traveled to Costa Rica between 2010 and 2015 and returned to Sanchez each time. She said she did so out of fear for her family's safety.
"She's willing to say whatever it takes to get what she wants in that moment," Kim Baucom, a lawyer for two of the officers, said in her closing statement.
The woman claimed the officers obstructed efforts to investigate and prosecute Sanchez.
Taking the stand, the woman broke down while testifying about the degrading sex acts Sanchez forced her to perform on clients under threat and said the officers failed in their duties by not breaking up the ring.
"They had to protect us," Doe said of the officers, according to The Washington Post. "They had to not be the clients. They didn’t have to protect the Hazel ring."

However, defense lawyers pointed to an email exchange between Doe and Sanchez before she came to the U.S., in which they discussed the rates that would be charged to men on dates. Defense lawyers said the discussion of hourly rates did not comport with Doe's claim that she was promised work as a high-end escort who would go on dates with wealthy clients and would only have sex if she chose to.
Sanchez was convicted for running the prostitution ring and sentenced to 2.5 years in prison.

Key business developments in the second quarter of 2022

- Stronger than expected performance in June driven by price increases, LVP recovery and a patent litigation settlement led to a better-than-expected operating profit for the quarter. However, profitability declined due to higher raw material costs, currency movements, low and volatile LVP and lockdowns in China. Operating margin and adjusted operating margin* declined by 2.2pp. Commercial recoveries relating to periods prior to second quarter 2022 and the patent litigation settlement combined amounted to around $50 million in the quarter. Return on capital employed was 13.1% and adjusted return on capital employed* was 13.3%.
- Negative Q2 operating cash flow, expected to recover in the second half. Operating cash flow was negative $51 million and free cash flow* was negative $190 million impacted by adverse effects from working capital. Net debt* increased and EBITDA declined vs. a year earlier, leading to a leverage ratio of 1.7x. A dividend of $0.64 per share was paid and 0.30 million shares were repurchased in the quarter.

Key Figures
Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO
We managed good execution in a challenging environment in the second quarter, leading to better-than-expected results. A strong performance in June, with some LVP recovery and progress in the customer price discussions, including some retroactive compensations, means we are reporting a second quarter adjusted operating margin that is better than in the first quarter. Supply chains remained distressed in the quarter, aggravated by lockdowns in China. Raw material cost increases, currency movements and a lower-than-expected and volatile LVP were also major challenges in the quarter. Cash flow was negative in the quarter, mainly due to volatility and timing effects on working capital. We expect to recover most of these effects in the second half of the year.
In a quarter where we saw continued low and volatile LVP, Autoliv managed to outperform global LVP significantly, despite negative regional mix effects.
It is encouraging that we are making progress in compensation from our customers in the form of sustainable price increases. Discussions continue where we aim for prices that reflect changes in the cost environment and a contract structure that is flexible and allows for broader and faster adjustments to future changes in the business environment.
Recent developments in supply chains, customer production plans, raw material prices and our cost recovery discussions are encouraging, and we believe we are well prepared for an improved market development. However, we are also making sure we are agile and prepared for a more adverse market development should that be necessary. Therefore, we continue to step up our cost control measures. Cost reductions and footprint initiatives are on plan and include capacity alignments and footprint optimizations.
We are adjusting our full year 2022 indication to a narrower range, reflecting our actions and the shorter time span remaining of the year. Although leverage ratio currently is above our target range, we remain committed to our share repurchase ambitions over time. We remain confident in our medium-term adjusted operating margin target of 12%, based on the framework we outlined at our CMD in 2021.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The fate of University of Maine Chancellor Dannel Malloy is on the agenda as trustees meet over the next two days in Portland.
Malloy was hired in Maine three years ago after serving two terms as governor of Connecticut. His contract, which includes a $350,000 salary, expires June 30, and trustees will be hearing from an outside firm that conducted a multi-year review of his tenure.
In recent weeks, the faculty senates of the University of Maine at Augusta, the University of Southern Maine and the University of Farmington have each issued no-confidence votes in Malloy. University of Maine at Machias faculty endorsed these votes on Friday as well.
Malloy has said he takes the resolutions seriously and that the pace of change throughout the system is causing anxiety.
The meeting takes place Sunday and Monday at the University of Southern Maine. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/University-of-Maine-trustees-consider-Malloy-s-17190393.php | 2022-05-22 15:23:10 | 1 | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/University-of-Maine-trustees-consider-Malloy-s-17190393.php |
Travelers 3, Drillers 1
The Arkansas travelers defeated the Tulsa Drillers on Wednesday night at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock, thanks to starting pitcher Prelander Berroa's latest stellar performance.
The past two starts for Berroa have resulted in 1 earned run over 9 innings, on 4 hits and 3 walks. He struck out 19 between those games.
On Wednesday, he was at it again, striking out 7 in 5 innings while allowing 1 run on 1 hit and 3 walks. He did not, however, factor in the decision.
The Travelers' bullpen followed suit, allowing 2 hits in the following 4 innings and striking out 5.
The Travelers did not get on the board until the seventh inning. Zach DeLoach's two-run home run scored Cade Marlowe and gave Arkansas a 2-1 lead.
Joe Rizzo doubled Arkansas' lead the following inning on an RBI single that scored Patrick Frick and made it 3-1. Rizzo accounted for two of Arkansas' six hits.
Tulsa starter Nick Nastrini (1-1) was charged with both runs resulting from DeLoach's home run. He lasted 6 ⅔ innings, striking out nine batters.
Tulsa got runners on second and third in the ninth inning, but Dayeison Arias struck out Kenneth Betancourt to earn his first save of the season. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/aug/25/travelers-3-drillers-1/ | 2022-08-25 07:46:17 | 0 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/aug/25/travelers-3-drillers-1/ |

ANN ARBOR, MI -- A weeklong technology showcase is coming back to Ann Arbor with events like the Green Fair, a seminar on women in technology and the return of a live music show.
A2Tech360, hosted by Ann Arbor SPARK, is running from Oct. 7-14, with 26 events throughout the week.
A2Tech360 originally started as SPARK’s Tech Trek, but is now a week-long event with an awards ceremony, multiple topical summits and an investor showcase. Tech Track was a walking tour of Ann Arbor that gave technology companies in the city a chance to show their business to the public.
Events at this year’s event include Mobility Row, which will return as a street style fair and features robotics, game developers and self-driving shuttles.
“(One of the sponsors) will actually have a little robot driving around the street, dispensing swag and treats,” said Jenn Hayman, Ann Arbor SPARK spokesperson. “I think that’s going to be super fun for people to interact with.”
Although it was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, TechCity Jam is also returning this year. The show is put on by members of the Ann Arbor technology community and will take place 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at The Blind Pig, 208 S. First St.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing my colleagues and friends in the in the industry go into their own other persona,” Hayman said.
Other events include Tech Trek, an Emerging Leaders happy hour and an Entrepreneur Boot Camp celebration, as well as partner events like Green Fair, Artoberfest and Adult Night at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.
“We have more of them this year than perhaps ever, because they see the value of being under that a2Tech360 umbrella and really the outreach that we’re able to do with all the different promotions,” Hayman said. “I think that’s been a really nice evolution of a2Tech30 is how many different partner events have spun up and become a core part of the a2Tech360 identity now. "

NEW YORK (AP)Zack Britton prepared to walk out to the bullpen for his first major league game in 13 months. He was hoping Aaron Judge would send home run No. 61 into the New York Yankees bullpen in right-center.
”I’m thinking if I catch the next one or something, it might go for a pretty penny,” Britton said before Thursday night’s 5-4, 10-inning win over Boston. ”I’ll be out there with the glove on.”
Brutton, who did not pitch in the game, was activated one year and two weeks after the left-hander had Tommy John surgery.
”I feel like if I get enough innings that I can be myself and I can help in the postseason,” he said. ”Time will tell if that’s going to be the case, but that’s my goal.”
New York placed left-hander Wandy Peralta on the 15-day injured list with left thoracic spine tightness, a move retroactive to Monday. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated infielder-outfielder Miguel Andujar for assignment.
Britton, a 34-year-old reliever, made eight minor league injury rehabilitation appearances from Aug. 24 through Tuesday, allowing one run and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings for Class A Tampa, Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He struck out seven and walked two.
”The sinker has been really good,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. ”He hasn’t been throwing as hard as he typically does. I think part of that’s been by design.”
A two-time All-Star, Britton was operated on by Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Sept. 8 last year. Britton had the UCL in his left elbow reconstructed and also had a bone chip removed.
Britton has 154 saves in 11 major league seasons and is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
He had eight saves and a 1.89 ERA during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He didn’t make his season debut last year until June 12 following arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone chip in his left elbow. Then he spent more time on the injured list with a hamstring strain.
Britton was 0-1 with a 5.89 ERA and just one save in 22 appearances. He last pitched for the Yankees on Aug. 19, 2021, against Minnesota, then felt pain three days later prior to a rained-out game against the Twins.
Peralta, a 31-year-old left-hander, last pitched Monday. He had a scan, and Boone said earlier Thursday that Peralta could return next week.
”We don’t think it’s serious, something that’s popped up a couple of times over the last four or six weeks,” Boone said. ”It’s something we want to knock out right now. And hopefully, a couple more days we start ramping him up again.”

Herschel Walker faces abortion allegation from 2nd accuser
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman came forward Wednesday to accuse Herschel Walker, the anti-abortion Republican running for U.S. Senate in Georgia, of encouraging and paying for her 1993 abortion — an accusation that came just weeks after a former girlfriend said he did the same for her in 2009.
Walker’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The Associated Press to the latest accusation. The candidate vehemently denied a claim earlier this month from a different woman who said Walker paid for and encouraged her abortion in 2009, two years before she gave birth to their son.
The second accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” spoke to reporters via an audio Zoom call arranged by her attorney Gloria Allred. She alleged that Walker, a former college and professional football star making his first bid for public office, pressured her into an abortion and paid for one after she became pregnant during the course of their six-year relationship.
“The reason I am here today is because he has publicly taken the position that he is ‘about life’ and against abortion under any circumstances when, in fact, he pressured me to have an abortion and personally ensured that it occurred by driving me to the clinic and paying for it,” Doe said.
“I do not believe that Herschel is morally fit to be a U.S. senator and that is the reason why I am speaking up and providing proof,” she said.
Doe said partisan allegiances were not a factor in her decision to come forward. She called herself a registered independent and said she voted twice for former President Donald Trump, a Republican who endorsed Walker.
The second round of abortion allegations against Walker returned the issue to the forefront of the campaign in the final two weeks before the midterm elections. Walker is competing against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in a tight race that could help determine party control of the Senate. The Republican was campaigning Wednesday in north Georgia as part of his ongoing tour of the state.
Allred addressed reporters gathered in her office in Los Angeles and detailed, among other items, cards Walker gave to her client and a hotel receipt from Minnesota. Allred also played audio of what she described as a telephone message that Walker allegedly left her client in 1992 after he had arrived in Europe as part of the U.S. Olympic bobsled team.
Doe said she is not revealing her identity because she fears “reprisals against myself, my family and my livelihood.”
A notable women’s rights attorney, Allred has represented several clients who’ve accused powerful men, including Trump and Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, of sexual assault and harassment.
When The Daily Beast broke the story earlier this month of the first abortion allegation, Walker’s insistence he had no idea who could make such a claim was undermined by a follow-up report in which the woman identified herself as the mother of one of his children.
Her evidence included a $575 receipt for an abortion, along with a get-well card signed by Walker and a personal check for $700 from the multimillionaire celebrity athlete. The check is dated five days after her abortion receipt.
Doe on Wednesday said Walker gave her cash to have an abortion after she told him she was pregnant. She alleged that she first went to a clinic alone but was unable to go through with an abortion. Walker was “upset” when she told him she hadn’t gone through with it and insisted they return the following day. He drove her to the clinic that day and “waited in the car” and then took her to fill prescriptions, Doe said. Allred declined to discuss the cost or any records of the alleged abortion “at least at this time.”
Walker’s responses to The Daily Beast’s series of stories about the woman’s claims evolved from absolute denials to suggesting the signature on a get-well card wasn’t his to suggesting he did send the woman money but that he didn’t know it was to cover an abortion.
Doe said Wednesday she heard Walker’s denial that he ever signs anything with a lone initial “H,” as the get-well card was signed. She said she knew that wasn’t true because he’d signed cards to her that way.
The woman has not identified herself publicly but has spoken to multiple media outlets, revealing herself to be the same woman who filed a paternity suit for child support in New York family court. She has also alleged that Walker encouraged her to end their second pregnancy, though she refused. She said Walker knows the son they share but has seen the child only a handful of times.
Walker’s campaign has since shared with NBC News texts between his current wife and the woman acknowledging his relationship to the child.
Walker promised to file a lawsuit against The Daily Beast after the outlet’s initial story on the abortion claim was published Oct. 3. As of Wednesday afternoon, Walker had still not confirmed that he’s taken any legal action against the outlet.
The reporting has put Walker on the defensive both about his claims of being a family man and his previous support for a national abortion ban, without any exceptions — a notable position since the Supreme Court in June ended a constitutional right to an abortion and Congress has been discussing federal legislation to set a national regulation.
As a Republican primary contender, Walker was consistent about his absolute opposition to abortion. He repeated that approach after winning the GOP nomination but has since shied away from it, attempting to turn the issue back on Warnock by suggesting the Democrat supports no limits on abortion access.
In their lone debate, Walker denied his previous position and said he has settled on backing Georgia’s new state law that bans abortion at six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they’re pregnant. That law includes exceptions for pregnancies involving rape, incest or threats to a woman’s life or health.
Walker has been dogged throughout his campaign with intense scrutiny of his past.
He’s been accused of repeatedly threatening his ex-wife’s life, exaggerating claims of financial and business success, suggesting he’s been a sworn law enforcement officer and overstating his role in a for-profit program that is alleged to have preyed upon veterans and service members while defrauding the government.
After a story by The Daily Beast in June, Walker acknowledged the existence of three children he had not previously talked about publicly, including the son of the woman who first accused Walker of urging her to have abortions.
More than 1.1 million Georgia voters have cast ballots so far ahead of the Nov. 8 election, either by mail or through advance in-person voting that began Oct. 17 and continues through Nov. 4. That is about 50% higher than at this point in 2018, the last midterm election.
With a Libertarian nominee also on the ballot, it remains possible that neither Warnock nor Walker attracts the required majority to win outright. In that case, the two would meet in a Dec. 6 runoff.

Gas prices see biggest one-day increase in a year
Published: Jul. 26, 2023 at 5:42 AM MST|Updated: 21 minutes ago
(CNN) - Gas prices just saw their biggest one-day jump in a year, bringing an end to the months-long calm in prices at the pump.
According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline increased four cents on Tuesday to $3.64.
It is the biggest increase in a single day since June 7, 2022, and marks an increase of eight cents over the past week.
Even so, prices are still down by 72 cents a gallon from a year ago.
Last summer, they spiked to more than $5.00 a gallon.
Tuesday’s jump comes after an increase in oil prices, which have climbed to three-month highs.

Last week the White House hosted a roundtable meeting on antisemitism led by second gentleman Douglas Emhoff. Numerous administration officials and several representatives of Jewish organizations attended. The urgency for the meeting was clear and was reflected in the words of one of the attendees, Deborah Lipstadt, the U.S. State Department’s special envoy to combat antisemitism, who declared that antisemitic beliefs “must be stopped by any means necessary.” It begs the question of how to get that done.
Emhoff, who is Jewish and married to Vice President Kamala Harris, spoke of an “epidemic of hate facing our country.” That’s certainly true. Days before the roundtable meeting, former President Donald Trump outraged a bipartisan chorus of his critics and longtime supporters and friends by hosting a dinner with the gleefully antisemitic Kanye West, and white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Trump giving oxygen to hate-mongers is as offensive as the hate they spew.
Rising antisemitism has Congress worried as well. On Dec. 7, 122 members of the Senate and House sent a letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to develop a unified, national strategy to monitor and combat antisemitism. The bipartisan letter called for a “whole-of-government approach” to combat the “anti-Semitic voices” that are “finding new audiences, with anti-Jewish conspiracies gaining traction.”
Similar recognition is coming from the states. For example, a recent report from the state-chartered Virginia Commission to Combat Antisemitism tracked the growth of antisemitism in that state, which has recorded nearly 350 reports of such acts this year. But the Virginia report does more than just record numbers. It explains the commonwealth’s monitoring process, reviews the history of antisemitism in the state and in a frank manner admits that “some of the most high-profile antisemitic incidents in recent history have occurred in the Commonwealth” — most notably, the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August 2017.
In addition to its comprehensive review of antisemitic trends and activity in the commonwealth, the Virginia report makes 21 recommendations to address the problem. First among them is adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, including its “Contemporary Examples.” It calls on the state to expand Holocaust standards of learning and include the study of Jewish history in world history courses. And it proposes banning public entities from adopting and practicing BDS positions.
We are encouraged by the Virginia report. It goes beyond traditional hand-wringing and inflated rhetoric and suggests tangible action. That’s the kind of comprehensive approach we need from the federal government.
We agree with the members of Congress letter that urges a “whole of government approach” to address poisonous antisemitism. But we need the right people leading the effort. In that regard, the designation of Emhoff to chair the taskforce seems more ceremonial than substantive, as he lacks the necessary background or experience to lead the comprehensive government effort that is needed.
We need an experienced hand leading this crucial government effort. We don’t have time to waste on ceremony.

- Oral PL8177 may provide an effective, safe, and tolerable treatment option for ulcerative colitis patients prior to being treated with immunosuppressive therapies, which have significant safety and tolerability concerns
- Primary endpoint is the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore, which evaluates the level of disease in the colon mucosa
- Interim data currently expected first quarter of calendar year 2023;
topline data in the third quarter of calendar year 2023
CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor system, today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the PL8177-205 study with Palatin's PL8177, an oral formulation of the melanocortin-1 receptor agonist (MC1r), in patients with ulcerative colitis.
"The relative speed, efficiency, and agility in which we designed, selected, completed pre-clinical activities, and commenced this study demonstrates our core capabilities and the robustness of our MC1r agonist platform," stated Carl Spana, Ph.D., President and CEO of Palatin. "Initiating enrollment in this trial places Palatin one step closer to obtaining the relevant data demonstrating oral PL8177 is a potential treatment option for ulcerative colitis patients as an alternative therapy to immunosuppressive treatments, which have significant safety and tolerability concerns."
The PL8177-205 interim assessment is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of calendar year 2023, with final topline data anticipated in the third quarter of calendar year 2023.
The Phase 2 study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive design, parallel group of PL8177, with once daily (QD) oral dosing in adult UC subjects. The study is designed to enroll up to 28 adult subjects with active UC from approximately 22 sites. All subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive either placebo or oral PL8177. Additional trial information, including inclusion and exclusion criteria, can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ via the identifier NCT05466890.
The study will use an adaptive design with an interim assessment by an independent data monitoring committee after the first 16 subjects have completed the 8-week evaluation visit. The efficacy evaluations and endpoints are in line with the latest FDA Draft Guidance for Industry: Ulcerative Colitis: Developing Drugs for Treatment (April 2022). The primary endpoint is the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore, which evaluates the level of disease in the colon mucosa.
PL8177 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide with demonstrated efficacy in multiple animal inflammatory bowel disease models. PL8177 is a potent, selective agonist at the human melanocortin receptor-1 (MC1r), with sub-nanomolar affinity binding and EC50 functional values. Palatin data demonstrates that the oral formulation of PL8177 was protected from degradation in the stomach and small intestine and delivered to the large intestine and colon over an extended period. In addition, orally administered PL8177 had a significant effect on resolving inflammation in a rat bowel inflammation model.
PL8177 in oral formulations has demonstrated repeated, robust efficacy in ulcerative colitis disease models. MC1r is found on epithelial cells and resident macrophages of the colon which are accessible from the lumen of the colon. Orally administered PL8177 is not systemically absorbed. PL8177 has the potential for excellent efficacy without safety concerns.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine (colon), with inflammation and ulcerations that can cause significant abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, loss of appetite and other symptoms. An estimated 1 million individuals in the United States are affected by ulcerative colitis, with over 350,000 diagnosed with moderate-to-severe disease. Existing treatments are not effective in a substantial portion of patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, with certain severe cases resulting in surgical removal of the colon.
The melanocortin receptor ("MCr") system has effects on inflammation, immune system responses, metabolism, food intake, and sexual function. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have medically significant pharmacological effects. Many tissues and immune cells located throughout the body, including the gut, kidney and eye, express melanocortin receptors, empowering our opportunity to directly activate natural pathways to resolve disease inflammation.
Palatin is a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor systems, with targeted, receptor-specific product candidates for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential. Palatin's strategy is to develop products and then form marketing collaborations with industry leaders to maximize their commercial potential.

Which can opener is best?
As long as they are stored in a cool, clean and dry location and the cans are not dented, rusted or swollen, most canned foods will last for years — at least two, maybe as long as five. This makes them a convenient food to keep on hand for both regular use and as backup stock. However, to access the food in that can, you need a quality can opener.
The best can opener will be easy to use and safe, creating no sharp edges on the can or the lid. The OXO Can Opener has an innovative design that cuts cans on the side instead of the top so there are no jagged edges, and the cans are easier to open.
What to know before you buy a can opener
Different types of can openers
It is possible to purchase an electric can opener, a claw-shaped can opener, a survival can opener or a battery-powered can opener. While each of these has its pros and cons, the focus of this article is on manual can openers. These models clamp to the can and use a twisting motion to slowly move a blade through the can until it can be easily opened.
Open a can from either the top or the side
Most individuals are probably familiar with holding a can opener vertically to puncture the lid of the can and working it around the can until the lid can be removed.
Alternatively, there are can openers that are designed to puncture the side of the can. These models are held horizontally. The benefit of using this type of manual can opener is that it removes the lid without creating a sharp or jagged edge. Additionally, some can openers can be held either vertically or horizontally, so it is up to the user to decide how to open the can.
Always inspect a can before opening
Cans are designed to keep food safe for extended periods of time. When a can is dropped or damaged in any way, however, that can compromise the can’s integrity and allow bacteria into the food, making it unsafe to eat. Therefore, before opening any can, check to make sure there are no dents, creases, buckles or rust. In addition, make sure the can is not bulging, as swollen cans are a sign of spoiled product.
What to look for in quality can opener
Consistent, reliable performance
The best can opener will make a clean cut through the lid or the side of a can on the first try. There shouldn’t be any spots where the can opener didn’t penetrate the can, and the lid should be easy to remove every time.
Ergonomic grips
You want to purchase a can opener with large, cushioned grips that will be easy on your hands. In other words, a design with smooth edges that provides for an anti-slip handgrip is what you should look for in a quality can opener.
Hands-free removal of the lid
The most dangerous part of opening a can is removing the lid, as that is when you are most likely to slice your finger. To keep your hands safe (and out of your food), look for a can opener that has a built-in magnet that snatches up the lid so you don’t have to use your fingers. Alternatively, some can openers come with build-in pliers, so you can grab the lid with the pliers to remove.
Works consistently on cans of all sizes
Many can openers work great on larger-sized cans but struggle or offer inconsistent performance on smaller cans. Browse the product reviews before purchasing to make sure the unit you are considering has no shortcomings in this area.
Warranty
The length of the warranty tells the consumer how much faith the manufacturer has in its own product. For example, if one company offers a one-year warranty and another offers a lifetime warranty, the latter product is the one to purchase as long as the price is reasonable.
How much you can expect to spend on a can opener
For less than $10, you can find a budget model can opener that may not function well or last very long. It’s best to consider models in the $10-$25 price range, as these are both durable and affordable. Models over $25 may have some extra bells and whistles, but typically, they do not perform noticeably better.
Can opener FAQ
How often do I need to clean my can opener?
A. Unfortunately, can openers will rust. However, it’s not necessarily the rust that is the danger — it’s the bacteria that can quickly build upon the can opener that is the concern. Because of this, you should clean your can opener after every use. A dishwasher is not required (or typically recommended) for cleaning, but you simply need to hand wash with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
How long does a can opener last?
A. A can opener is a mechanical tool with a blade. Over time, the mechanical part of the tool can wear out and begin to fail, or the blade can become dull. Depending on the build quality of the can opener, this can happen in as little as a year or two. Conversely, some can openers are designed to last for many years. Once your can opener starts to slip while twisting, the blade doesn’t easily penetrate the can or the performance of your can opener becomes inconsistent, it’s time to consider purchasing a new model.

Man arrested in connection to Native American woman's 2019 disappearance, murder
PHOENIX - Two years later, a man has been arrested in connection to the disappearance and murder of a Native American woman who was last seen in late June 2019 within the boundaries of the Navajo Reservation.
Jamie Lynnette Yazzie, 31, was last seen on the evening of June 30 in the area of Pinon, which is located about 125 miles northeast of Flagstaff. In November 2021, her remains were found on the Hopi Indian Reservation
The FBI on Aug. 5, 2022, announced the arrest of Tre James, 30, accused of first-degree murder and domestic violence. Investigators believe James shot and killed Yazzie.
A news release shows that a federal grand jury returned an eight-count indictment against James, including several acts of domestic violence against 3 victims between 2018 and 2021. The allegations include suffocation, strangling, kidnapping and assault with a dangerous weapon.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Forecasters are warning of the potential for strong tornadoes in parts of the South on Tuesday as a potent storm system moves into the region.
Northern Mississippi will be at highest risk of the strongest storms, along with the northeastern corner of Louisiana, according to the national Storm Prediction Center.
The storms are expected to strike the region Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the possibility of severe weather continuing into Wednesday and moving into Alabama.
“A few strong/long-track tornadoes will be possible,” the Storm Prediction Center’s forecast states.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency urged residents to have multiple ways of receiving weather alerts and know in advance where to go to stay safe.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes walked through Arrowhead Stadium as if nothing was amiss Wednesday, his sprained right ankle hardly hampering the All-Pro quarterback as he began preparing for the AFC title game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Mahomes went through a normal morning walkthrough and then headed out for an afternoon practice with the rest of the Chiefs, four days after a Jacksonville pass rusher landed on his ankle and forced him to hobble off the field in pain.
“AFC championship week,” Mahomes said with a smile. “I’m ready to go.”
Mahomes was hurt late in the first quarter of the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Jaguars on Saturday. X-rays during the game came back negative, and Mahomes returned in the second half to lead the Chiefs to a spot in their fifth straight conference title game — and a Sunday night rematch with the Bengals, who beat them for a spot in last year’s Super Bowl.
Mahomes began getting treatment after the game, and an MRI on Sunday showed no structural damage.
“The last few days has been an all-day thing,” Mahomes said, “where you’re doing treatment and rehab and watching film. You’re trying to make sure you’re prepared for the Bengals, a great football team, mentally and physically.”
Mahomes jogged around without any apparent limp Wednesday in the brief portion of practice open to local reporters.
He said the injury is similar to one he played through early in the 2019 season, when Mahomes came back the following week to throw four touchdown passes in a win over the Raiders. The only difference is it’s the opposite ankle.
It’s also not as bad as a toe injury that Mahomes had earlier in his career.
“He had a couple injuries in college he fought through,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “In the NFL, with all the games you play, very seldom do you get to this point without having something. That’s just how it goes.”
Reid said he doesn’t anticipate holding Mahomes back in practice this week, though it’s possible that Chad Henne gets some additional reps in practice. The 37-year-old backup led the Chiefs on a 12-play, 98-yard touchdown drive against the Jaguars while Mahomes was getting checked out late in the first half.
“Most likely he won’t just do a little. I don’t think I’m going to have to go there with that,” Reid said of Mahomes. “I may have to pull him back a little bit. But knowing him, I think he’s going to try to do everything.”
Mahomes also expects to practice like normal, though he admitted the plan could change if there is any soreness after a workout. The Chiefs also practice Thursday and Friday, though the final one of the week is more like a walkthrough.
“We’ll see throughout the week,” Mahomes said. “I’ve done limited stuff in a small box of what I can do, but I’ll push today and the next day and the next day again, to not reaggravate the injury but see what I can do.”
Asked what it meant to see his ailing leader take the field, Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster replied: “It pretty much showed how much heart he has for his team and how much love for everyone.”
“Even this past game when he was going through his whole process,” Smith-Schuster said, “we could see he was fighting.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Mahomes was announced as one of the finalists for The Associated Press 2022 NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards. The 2018 MVP had perhaps the best season of his career, throwing for a career-best 5,250 yards with a league-leading 41 touchdown passes and just 12 interceptions.
Mahomes is winless in three tries against Bengals counterpart Joe Burrow, though, which includes last year’s AFC title game, when the Chiefs quarterback played poorly down the stretch and they blew a 21-3 lead in a 27-24 overtime defeat.
“It’s about being a competitor. You want to be out there, especially in these games,” Mahomes said. “You get to gameday, you just have to focus on the game. That’s what I’ll try to do. Try to prepare my body the best I can.”
NOTES: WR Mecole Hardman (abdominal injury) practiced Wednesday after missing all last week. He has not played since Nov. 6, and a series of setbacks since returning from injured reserve have kept him off the field. … TE Jody Fortson (elbow) and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire also practiced. Both returned from IR last week but neither has been added to the active roster. “There’s a chance, either one,” Reid said of their potential to play Sunday. “Maybe more Fortson than Clyde.”

Bake delicious bread at home
Imagine tucking into homemade bread with the perfect springy yet soft crumb, but without all the hard work of kneading, proving, shaping and baking. Once you know how to use a bread maker, that could be your life.
These appliances are simple to use but they can seem intimidating when you’ve never used one before. Each is slightly different, so you’ll need to consult the manual for yours, but they all share the same basic principles.
Shop this article: Yeast, Pizza Cutters and Measuring Cups
What is a bread maker?
A bread maker, or bread machine, is a kitchen appliance that handles most of the bread-making process from start to finish. It can knead dough, prove dough to let it rise, and finally bake it to turn it into bread, all with little effort on the part of the user.
What programs and settings do bread makers have?
This varies between brands and models, so you’ll need to check which settings your machine includes. However, these are some of the most common programs.
- Basic white: This program produces a basic white sandwich loaf or everyday loaf.
- French: Use this setting for a crusty white loaf with a fluffy interior similar to French baguettes.
- Whole grain: Whole grain loaves require slightly different kneading, proving, and baking times, which this setting accommodates for.
- Sweet: Perfect for sweet yeasted bread, this cycle adjusts for the fact that sugar causes yeast to work more quickly.
- Express: In a hurry? The express program cuts down on proving time to give you quicker (though usually somewhat inferior) results.
- Dough: The dough cycle is for when you want to knead and prove dough but shape and bake it yourself; for instance, when making pizza or rolls.
In addition to these programs, you’ll find settings to adjust the crust color to your liking and settings for different loaf sizes.
How to bake bread in a bread maker
Set up your machine
Make sure the pan is clean and dry before fitting it into the bread machine and positioning the kneading paddles. Although they’re usually made from nonstick material, grease the pan and paddles so your loaf is easy to remove from the pan.
Gather your ingredients
Check your recipe and gather all the ingredients you need. Getting them all out before you start lets you check that you have everything you need and makes it less likely that you’ll forget to add an ingredient.
Weigh or measure your ingredients
Depending on the recipe, you’ll either need to weigh your ingredients with a kitchen scale or measure them out by volume using measuring cups. You can weigh or measure all of your ingredients before adding them to the pan, or do it as you go along.
Add ingredients
Add the ingredients to the baking pan in the order specified in the recipe. The order can be important in some recipes, so follow it precisely.
Choose a program
Select a program on your machine that corresponds to the type of bread you’re baking. The exact process for doing this varies widely between models, so check the instruction manual if you’re unsure.
Choose a crust shade
Most bread machines have a crust shade selector that gives you pale, medium, or dark options. Choose whichever crust shade you prefer, then press start to begin the cycle of kneading, proving, and baking.
Wait
You’ve now finished the part of the process that requires human intervention. All that’s left to do is wait until the cycle completes and your bread is ready.
How to make good bread with a bread machine
Follow a recipe
While it can be tempting to just throw ingredients in and hope for the best, you should follow a recipe for optimal results. Ideally, it should be a recipe meant for baking in a bread machine, because recipes for making bread by hand don’t always translate well.
Use the right flour
Use bread flour, whether white or whole grain, rather than all-purpose flour. The protein content in bread flour is higher, which gives more structure to the crumb. You can also use gluten-free bread flour mixes, though results can vary.
Use the right yeast
Some types of yeast must be mixed with liquid and pre-fermented before adding them to a recipe, but these aren’t a good option for use in a machine. Instead, use yeast that can simply be added to the rest of the ingredients without pre-fermentation. These types of yeast are usually labeled as quick yeast, easy bake yeast, or instant yeast, and occasionally even bread machine yeast.
Consider baking in the oven
If you find the standard loaf shapes and sizes limiting, you can use the machine for kneading and proving, before shaping the loaf yourself and baking it in the oven. Some people prefer doing this even for standard loaves, but it gives you more flexibility to bake bread and bread products such as boules, braided loaves, bagels, and rolls.
Use room-temperature ingredients
Unless otherwise specified, you’ll usually get the best results by using room-temperature ingredients, rather than anything that’s too hot, too cold, or that comes straight from the fridge.
FAQ
Q. Is it easy to use a bread maker?
A. Yes, they’re easy for most people to use. When you want to bake a loaf, you just add the ingredients, select the right setting, and the appliance does the rest. It takes the effort out of baking your own bread.
Q. What’s the point of a bread maker?
A. The point is to make baking bread at home easier and more accessible. Some people would love to eat homemade bread because they prefer the taste or want to control what goes in their loaves, but they don’t have the time or inclination to bake bread by hand. Then you have others who physically aren’t able to knead dough but can add ingredients to a bread maker and press a few buttons, so these appliances open up the door to homemade bread.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — New data from Pennsylvania’s elections agency shows an early November state court decision that barred mail-in ballots without accurate handwritten dates on their exterior envelopes resulted in otherwise valid votes being thrown out.
The Department of State said this week more than 16,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified by county officials because they lacked secrecy envelopes or proper signatures or dates. Democratic voters, who are much more likely to vote by mail, made up more than two-thirds of the total canceled ballots.
The agency said 8,250 Pennsylvania mail-in ballots were rejected because they were sent in without being contained within a secrecy envelope, making it impossible for them to be tabulated without putting voter privacy at risk.
The remaining 7,904 invalidated ballots were tossed out because the exterior envelopes used to send in those ballots did not have the voters’ signatures, or because those exterior envelopes were either undated or improperly dated.
Many counties, but not all, worked with voters to “cure” undated ballots. Those fixed ballots were counted and are not among the number of rejected ballots now being reported by the Department of State.
Some people whose mail-in ballots were thrown out in the high-stakes November election may not be aware that happened.
“In many counties, voters who provide their email address when applying for a mail ballot automatically receive email notifications with status updates on their ballot, including whether their ballot was canceled,” Department of State spokesperson Ellen Lyon said in an email. “There is no similar automatic notification system for voters who do not provide an email address when applying for a mail ballot.”
Pennsylvania Democrats flipped Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s seat this fall, elected Attorney General Josh Shapiro as governor and won just enough state House races to retake majority control by one vote.
But the Democrats’ much greater use of mail-in voting also meant they saw far more of their votes disqualified than did Republicans, independents and third party voters combined. Democrats had 10,920 votes thrown out, about half for lacking secrecy envelopes. Republicans saw 3,503 ballots forfeited. Independents and third parties amounted to 1,731 votes that did not count in the fall election.
Negotiations between Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and Republican legislative leaders about ending the exterior envelope date requirement failed because the sides could not reach agreement on a wider bill to address a host of election procedures and policy changes. The exterior envelope dates are not needed to ensure ballots arrive in time — that occurs when they are received and clocked in by county elections workers.
Republican lawmakers have defended the need for the requirements, saying they are important for security and secrecy.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in May that the dates were not required — calling them “immaterial” — but the U.S. Supreme Court then ruled that decision moot.
Other federal litigation against the secretary of state and county elections boards over the inaccurate or missing envelope dates remains pending. It claims enforcing the date requirement has a larger impact on voters who are “significantly older than both other Pennsylvanians who voted by mail and all registered Pennsylvania voters.”
In the governor’s race, Shapiro collected just over 1 million mail-in votes, about a third of his total, on his way to a nearly 15-point win over Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano, whose received more than 187,000 mail-in ballots. There were fewer than 19,000 third-party or independent mail-in votes in the gubernatorial race.
Marian Schneider, senior voting rights policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said state law needs more clarity about the process of curing flawed ballots so more voters’ choices will count. The total number may be a small portion of total votes cast, but they could determine the winner of a close race.
“It’s still 16,000 people whose votes didn’t count,” Schneider said. “It would be good to avoid that, right?”
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled a week before the November election that mail-in votes may not count if they are “contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.” Ballots without properly dated envelopes have been the topic of litigation since mail-in voting was greatly expanded in Pennsylvania under a 2019 state law.
The justices had split 3-3 on whether making the envelope dates mandatory under state law would violate provisions of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that immaterial errors or omissions should not be used to prevent voting. The tie meant the date mandate has remained in place. The court has yet to issue a written opinion laying out its reasoning and explaining why it ordered county officials to “segregate and preserve” the canceled ballots. | https://cw33.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-majority-of-16k-canceled-pa-mail-in-ballots-were-from-dems/ | 2023-01-07 05:59:37 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-majority-of-16k-canceled-pa-mail-in-ballots-were-from-dems/ |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government and publishing titan Penguin Random House are set to exchange opening salvos in a federal antitrust trial Monday as the U.S. seeks to block the biggest U.S. book publisher from absorbing rival Simon & Schuster. The case comes as a key test of the Biden administration’s antitrust policy.
The Justice Department has sued to block the $2.2 billion merger, which would reduce the Big Five U.S. publishers to four.
In an unusual move, the government’s star witness will be Stephen King, the renowned and genre-transcending author whose works are published by Simon & Schuster. King is expected to testify during the weekslong trial in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
The government contends that it would hurt authors and, ultimately, readers if German media titan Bertelsmann, of which Penguin Random House is a division, is allowed to buy Simon & Schuster from U.S. media and entertainment company Paramount Global. It says the deal would thwart competition and give Penguin Random House gigantic influence over which books are published in the U.S., likely reducing how much authors are paid and giving consumers fewer books to choose from.
The publishers counter that the merger would strengthen competition among publishers to find and sell the hottest books, by enabling the combined company to offer bigger advance payments and marketing support to authors. It would benefit readers, booksellers and authors, they say.
Opposing attorneys for the two sides will present their cases before U.S. District Judge Florence Pan.
The two New York-based publishers have impressive stables of blockbuster authors, who’ve sold multiple millions of copies and have scored multimillion-dollar deals. Within Penguin Random House’s constellation are Barack and Michelle Obama, whose package deal for their memoirs totaled an estimated $65 million, Bill Clinton, who received $15 million for his memoir, Toni Morrison, John Grisham and Dan Brown.
Simon & Schuster counts Hillary Clinton, who received $8 million for her memoir, Bob Woodward and Walter Isaacson. And King.
Bruce Springsteen splits the difference: His “Renegades: Born in the USA,” with Barack Obama, was published by Penguin Random House; his memoir, by Simon & Schuster.
The Justice Department contends that as things now stand, No. 1 Penguin Random House and No. 4 Simon & Schuster, by total sales, compete fiercely to acquire the rights to publish the anticipated hottest-selling books. If they are allowed to merge, the combined company would control nearly 50% of the market for those books, it says, hurting competition by reducing advances paid to authors and diminishing output, creativity and diversity.
The Big Five — the other three are Hachette, HarperCollins and Macmillan — dominate U.S. publishing. They make up 90% of the market for anticipated top-selling books, the government says.
The Biden administration is staking out new ground on business concentration and competition, and the government’s case against the publishers’ merger can be viewed as an important step.
President Joe Biden has made competition a pillar of his economic policy, denouncing what he calls the outsized market power of an array of industries and stressing the importance of robust competition to the economy, workers, consumers and small businesses. Biden, a Democrat, has called on federal regulators, notably the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission, to give greater scrutiny to big business combinations. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/us-begins-court-battle-against-publishing-giants-merger/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2022-08-01 12:19:11 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/us-begins-court-battle-against-publishing-giants-merger/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business |
Sen. Rick Scott takes issue with parts of Texas GOP platform
WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Sen. Rick Scott, chair of the GOP’s Senate elections committee, on Wednesday criticized the Texas Republican Party’s new platform for not being “inclusive” when it described homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice.”
Scott spoke to reporters at a breakfast just days after GOP delegates in the country’s largest red state approved the new platform, which also falsely labels President Joe Biden an “acting” commander-in-chief and says that Texas “retains the right to secede from the United States.”
“My experience is, you know, the Republican Party is inclusive. And so I don’t — I wouldn’t have supported that, what they did,” Scott said when pressed on the homophobic language, which he said was not inclusive. He also reiterated that he accepts Biden’s election.
The platform, which falsely claims that Biden “was not legitimately elected,” underscores how far Texas Republicans have moved to the right and how deeply former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election have become ingrained in the party.
No evidence has emerged to support Trump’s claims of a stolen election, which top government officials, judges and even senior members of the former president’s own campaign staff have rejected. Indeed, an Associated Press review of every potential case of voter fraud in six battleground states disputed by Trump found fewer than 475 instances total — a number that would have made no difference to the outcome.
Scott, who leads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has been reluctant to criticize fellow Republicans as he works to flip the Senate this November. Scott said be believes the party can win 54 seats and retake control of the chamber amid soaring inflation and Biden’s low approval ratings.
On Wednesday, he again dismissed growing concerns over the electability of two Republican Senate candidates: Herschel Walker, the party’s nominee in Georgia, and former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, who is seeking the Republican nomination in a highly competitive Aug. 2 primary to replace GOP Sen. Roy Blunt.
Greitens, who resigned in disgrace in 2018, recently released a campaign video that shows him brandishing a shotgun and declaring that he’s hunting RINOs — a pejorative term meaning “Republicans In Name Only.” Walker, meanwhile, has been grappling with revelations that he dramatically inflated his business record and has several children that he had not previously publicly acknowledged.
Scott, who has declined to take sides in party primaries, said it was up to voters to pick their nominees, but predicted Walker would win in November against Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock.
As for Greitens, Scott said he hadn’t seen the campaign video, but said: “I don’t believe that we ought to ever be promoting any violence.”
Still, he was bullish on the eventual nominee’s chances.
“I think Missouri will make a good choice. And I think whoever they choose is going to be the Republican senator from Missouri,” he said. “There’s no reason to believe we won’t win Missouri whoever our nominee is there. We’ve got good people running. But we’ll see what happens.”
As for the Texas platform, he said, “Every state party has a right to make any decision they want.”
“I don’t tell people what they ought to run on,” he added. “We show people where the public is. But every state’s got different issues. And they ought to run on the issues that are important to them.”

McKinley running back Jeremiah Allen skipped into the end zone for the Eagles with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, a final touchdown that allowed his team to defeat the Patriots 34-0 on Saturday in the Red Stick Bowl at Zachary High School.
The All-Star game featuring players from the Baton Rouge area saw four other touchdowns scored. Running back CJ Johnson of Livonia, wide receiver Clayton Adams of Woodlawn, running back Covanta Milligan of Scotlandville and running back Glen Cage of Central also scored in the good-natured exhibition.
After a slow start, things opened up when Eagles quarterback Mills Dawson started finding his receivers to set up Johnson's 5-yard touchdown run. Thanks to a safety, the Eagles went into halftime up 9-0.
The Patriots never threatened as the Eagles dominated on the ground through much of the second half. An early second-half receiving touchdown from Adams, who was named the game MVP, opened the floodgates.
“I was impressed by the amount of offense we were able to install leading up to this game,” Eagles coach Marcus Randall said. “This group was great to work with, and this was a great opportunity for them to play with some guys that they’ve been playing with and against for so many years, and be able to do it one last time on the high school level.”
Patriots coach Peter Villia was thankful for the experience.
“This is my first time having the opportunity to be a head coach in this game, and I’m very thankful for that,” he said. “I’m also thankful that all these players, whether they’re going to play in college or not, got one last opportunity to play high school ball in front of a community that supports them. I’m very happy I got to be involved in that.” | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/high_schools/five-different-players-score-touchdowns-as-eagles-defeat-patriots-in-red-stick-bowl/article_a494522c-7e53-11ed-9bb9-83d737785813.html | 2022-12-18 04:10:56 | 0 | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/high_schools/five-different-players-score-touchdowns-as-eagles-defeat-patriots-in-red-stick-bowl/article_a494522c-7e53-11ed-9bb9-83d737785813.html |
Two soccer match officials have been found guilty of negligence by an Indonesian court in connection with one of the deadliest stadium stampedes in history.
Match official Abdul Haris was sentenced to 18 months in prison and security officer Suko Sutrisno was sentenced to 12 months by the court in Surabaya, according to news services.
Both men worked for Arema FC — one of the two teams playing in the Oct. 1 2022 match at Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang, East Java. The game ended with a stampede that killed 135 people, including some children, after police fired tear gas into the crowd.
Arema FB was defeated 3-2 in the match by opposing team Persebaya Surabaya — Arema FB's first home loss to their rival in 23 years. Witnesses reported that some 42,000 Arema FB supporters ran onto the pitch after the match, prompting police to fire tear gas into the crowd. Authorities told reporters that many of the dead were crushed or suffocated as they raced for the stadium exits, and that more than 300 people were injured.
Following the incident, a fact-finding team appointed by Indonesian President Joko Widodo that included government officials, security experts and soccer officials. The team found that the tear gas had been used indiscriminately and that police had used "excessive" measures, Benar News reported at the time.
The team also found out that the police on duty that day didn't know that tear gas was a banned crowd control measure by FIFA, soccer's governing body. The stadium may have been over-capacity for the match, investigators also found.
Widodo has ordered the stadium demolished.
Reuters reported that Haris and Satrisno will take time to look at the ruling before taking any further legal steps.
The stampede ranks as one of the deadliest soccer stampedes in history.
The deadliest happened in Lima, Peru, in 1964 during a match between Peru and Argentina at Estadio Nacional when the crowd attacked stadium police for assaulting a fan who had run onto the pitch to express disappointment with a referee's decision, the BBC reported. The police fought back, firing bullets and tear gas into the crowd. More than 320 people died, according to officials, as the crowd ran toward the exits, but experts think this might be an underestimate.

The U.S. economy shrank in the last three months by 0.9%.
This is the second consecutive quarter where the economy has contracted. In the first quarter, GDP, or gross domestic product, decreased at an annual rate of 1.6%.
While two consecutive quarters of negative growth is often considered a recession, it's not an official definition. A nonprofit, non-partisan organization called the National Bureau of Economic Research determines when the U.S. economy is in a recession. An NBER committee made up of eight economists makes that determination and many factors go into that calculation.
The White House has pushed back against calling the current economy a recession. It is no doubt aware of the role the economy is going to play in the midterm elections.
Can it be a recession if there are so many jobs being created?
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen noted in a recent appearance on NBC's Meet the Press that while two consecutive quarters of negative growth is generally considered a recession, conditions in the economy are unique.
"When you're creating almost 400,000 jobs a month, that is not a recession," she said.
Still, either way you cut it, the economy has weakened.
The GDP report showed that businesses had retrenched. Undoubtedly, borrowing has become more expensive with the Federal Reserve ratcheting up interest rates. So there's less money to invest. The key worry is whether that will start hurting jobs growth.
Retailers had a glut of inventories to work through, so those businesses were also spending less. And housing, which has been running hot during the pandemic, is starting to cool with mortgage rates rising.
However, there were bright spots. Wages continued to rise and people were treating themselves by going out to eat at restaurants and also traveling. Income overall rose.
But fears of recession have grown considerably as the Fed continues to hike interest rates aggressively to fight high inflation.
And the economic data has been quite mixed.
In the run-up to previous downturns, for instance, the economy was shedding jobs. But the U.S. economy has been adding jobs month after month, as Yellen noted.
"This is not an economy that's in a recession," Yellen said. "A recession is broad-based weakness in the economy. We're not seeing that now."
Yellen also pointed to consumer spending, which has remained strong and she highlighted positive data on the credit quality of Americans.
White House doesn't like the word recession
The White House has taken pains to remind people that just two quarters of negative growth doesn't automatically mean the economy is in a recession.
As the midterm elections approach, the White House is acutely aware of the optics of a country in recession, where Americans are struggling financially. But with the cost of so many things skyrocketing and inflation running at a multi-decade high, a lot of Americans are already taking it on the chin.
A majority, or 65%, of registered voters who responded to a recent Morning Consult/Politico poll said they believe we are already in one.
What are the markers of a recession?
The NBER says the "traditional definition" of a recession is "a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months."
Employment is a part of the group's calculus, and the labor market has continued to show signs of strength. In June, the unemployment rate held steady at 3.6%, which is near its pre-pandemic low, and the economy added 372,000 jobs.
"I don't think the NBER would look at the data right now and say the economy is in a recession," says Michael Gapen, the chief U.S. economist at Bank of America Securities.
But it's unclear how much Americans will care about whether the current economy satisfies a specific, highly-technical definition, or it doesn't.
Parts of economy are slowing already
What's clear to everyone is the economy is slowing, prices are rising at their fastest pace in decades, and the housing market has started cooling as the Fed raises interest rates aggressively. On Thursday, the central bank raised rates by an additional three-quarters of a percentage point.
Economists acknowledge the headline number on Thursday — how much the economy grew or shrunk on a percentage basis — is likely to attract the most attention, but they say it is important to dig into the underlying data.
"It's the pieces of the puzzle that matter when you're looking at GDP," says Michelle Meyer, U.S. chief economist at the Mastercard Economics Institute.
Among other things, we'll see if household spending, which accounts for 70% of all economic activity, kept pace with inflation.
But as Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other policymakers have acknowledged, at a moment like this, when there is so much uncertainty, and when so many Americans are experiencing economic pain, sentiment and expectations matter and the key for the economy is not to lose too many jobs.
"I think a lot of it comes down to jobs," says Meyer. "Whether you have a job. Whether you expect to keep your job. And what that might mean for your future path of income."

Distrust of police: Black parents, children have ‘the talk’
By COREY WILLIAMS and GARY FIELDS
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — “The talk” has been passed down in many Black families for generations to prepare their children for interactions with police. It is part of historical distrust of law enforcement, which is often seen as being more heavy-handed and violent in dealings with Black people or in Black neighborhoods. Tyre Nichols, a Black man, appeared to follow the warnings when stopped, threatened and brutally beaten earlier this month by police officers in Memphis, Tennessee. He later died. Detroit-area public relations professional Greg Bowens says he was given “the talk” about 50 years ago. He says videos of Nichols’ beating seem to show authorities trying to hurt him rather than arrest him. | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/01/28/distrust-of-police-black-parents-children-have-the-talk/ | 2023-01-28 23:13:57 | 0 | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/01/28/distrust-of-police-black-parents-children-have-the-talk/ |

House Democrats are shaping a strategy to push back against the public broadcast of Jan. 6 surveillance footage recently provided by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who is promising to air clips on his popular prime-time program in the coming weeks.
The process is in its early stages, and “nothing formal” has been finalized, according to a Democratic source familiar with the deliberations.
But Democrats of all stripes say they have no faith that Carlson, who has promoted conspiracy theories surrounding the Capitol rampage of Jan. 6, 2021, will use the exclusive footage to present an impartial account of the events of that day. And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said this week that he’s in discussions with fellow Democrats about a plan to counter, if necessary, the narrative that emerges from Carlson’s segments.
Two lawmakers in particular — Reps. Bennie Thompson (Miss.), who headed the House select committee that investigated the Capitol riot in the last Congress, and Joe Morelle (N.Y.), senior Democrat on the House Administration Committee — will play a central role in the response, Jeffries said.
“We all should have a formal game plan as it relates to this very serious and sober issue of the security and the well-being of people who work on the Capitol complex,” Jeffries said.
What form the strategy takes is yet to be clear.
Thompson was among the first Democrats to respond last week after Axios broke the news that McCarthy had granted Carlson access to more than 40,000 hours of previously unreleased surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 attack, warning of “potential security risks” if the footage is used “irresponsibly.” And Democratic leaders say Thompson and the other remaining members of the Jan. 6 select committee — whose investigation spanned countless hours over 18 months — are best situated to respond to Carlson’s eventual broadcasts for the simple reason that they’re the most familiar with the details of the riot.
“J-6 members will be in a good position to respond once they see what Tucker Carlson produces,” said Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.), vice chairman of the Democratic Caucus.
The response could feature formal statements, press conferences, social media blasts and references to the Jan. 6 committee’s depositions and other findings that might serve as a form of counterweight against Carlson’s potential claims. Other media outlets will also be able to fact-check Carlson, Lieu noted, once the footage is released more broadly, as McCarthy has promised.
“The facts are the facts,” Thompson said. “I don’t see anything, from my vantage point, that could really discredit the work of our committee.”
Carlson had initially boasted of having “unfettered access” to the Jan. 6 footage, but McCarthy and other Republicans stepped in this week to clarify that, while Fox producers are welcome to view the full video library, no footage will be released for broadcast without being screened to ensure it won’t compromise the security of the Capitol complex.
Thompson, however, said it’s too early to praise those steps until GOP leaders compose formal guidelines governing the security protocols, to include screenings by the Capitol Police and password protected access to the footage.
“If they don’t have anything in writing … then I say it’s a bad idea,” Thompson said. “If it mirrors the process we had in place, no problem at all.”
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said his panel is working to draft those protocols, though the timeline of their release remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Democrats on the Administration Committee are protesting the move to grant Carlson any access to the Jan. 6 footage.
The full committee issued a document on Tuesday outlining its oversight goals for the current term — a bipartisan plan that included a lengthy “minority views” section in which Democrats broke sharply from the Republican majority in detailing their distrust in Carlson’s commitment to objectivity based on his history of covering Jan. 6. Among his contentious claims, Carlson has downplayed the violence at the Capitol that day and promoted the idea that the riot was a “false flag” operation orchestrated by the political enemies of former President Trump.
“Mr. Carlson has a lengthy record of lying and spreading disinformation about the January 6, 2021, attack on his television show in an apparent attempt to rewrite history,” the Democrats wrote. “Any attempts by defenders of these actions to create a false equivalence with the work of the [Jan. 6 select committee] should be dismissed.”
A spokesperson for Fox News did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment.
McCarthy, in the immediate wake of the Capitol attack, had supported the idea of a bipartisan investigation into its cause, but reversed course after Trump voiced his opposition. As House minority leader, McCarthy declined to participate in the select committee’s investigation, calling it a partisan witch hunt against the former president. He is now defending his decision to lend Carlson first access to the unreleased surveillance footage by suggesting it will provide a kind of counterpoint to the narrative steered solely by the Trump critics on the select committee.
“I know CNN would get knowledge of subpoenas before people were given subpoenas. I know CNN was given tapes that the Jan. 6 [committee] would pick and choose, so I know they’ve had a lot of exclusives around that,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday.
“I want to make sure we don’t play politics like that.”
The Speaker’s decision came as he’s scrambling to secure support from Republicans wary of his voting record and concerned that he won’t represent conservative priorities in the coming policy fights with President Biden, particularly when it comes to federal spending. Carlson has been among those right-wing critics, and observers in both parties say McCarthy chose Carlson to get the first shot at the Jan. 6 footage to curry favor with the wildly popular pundit and his millions of loyal followers.
“Kevin McCarthy seems to be somebody who is burdened neither by shame nor principle,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.). “And he’s damaging the institution — and damaging the country — all at the altar of his personal ambitions.”
Beyond political considerations, critics say there may also be personal factors driving McCarthy’s decision. The Jan. 6 select committee had, in a public hearing, aired video from within McCarthy’s office during the siege, showing his staffers racing to flee the pro-Trump mob — a humiliating episode for the Republican leader, who, after blaming Trump for the rampage, quickly shifted gears to downplay the violence and bash Democrats for investigating it.
McCarthy, in recent days, has characterized that footage as its own security threat.
“[It’s] concerning to me that [the committee] put out — and CNN would play it – the exit from my office,” he said. “Never did they talk to me or the people on it.”
Complicating the Republicans’ defense of Carlson have been a series of new revelations surrounding Fox News’s coverage of the 2020 elections, which have emerged in recent days as part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems against the network. The disclosures have revealed that Carlson was furious after Fox correctly called Arizona for Biden, suggesting the network should have withheld the truth from its viewers for the sake of ratings.
“Fox already admits that Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and other hosts on their national prime-time network are not journalists. They’re entertainment hosts,” Lieu said. “So Speaker McCarthy actually didn’t give the tapes to a journalist, he gave them to an entertainment host. And we’ll see what they produce.” | https://phl17.com/hill-politics/democrats-plot-effort-to-counter-tucker-carlson-on-jan-6-narrative/ | 2023-03-02 12:15:55 | 1 | https://phl17.com/hill-politics/democrats-plot-effort-to-counter-tucker-carlson-on-jan-6-narrative/ |
Capitol riot jury picked for 1st seditious conspiracy trial
WASHINGTON - A jury was selected Thursday in the seditious conspiracy case against the founder of the Oath Keepers extremist group and four associates in the highest profile prosecution stemming from the Capitol riot to reach a trial.
A panel of 12 jurors and four alternates was chosen after three days of questioning about their feelings concerning the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, and potential biases against the far-right group accused of plotting to use force to stop the transfer of presidential power.
Opening statements are expected to begin Monday in federal court in the case against Stewart Rhodes and his associates — the first Jan. 6 defendants to go to trial on the Civil War-era charge of seditious conspiracy.
The stakes are high for the Justice Department, which will try to prove that Rhodes spent weeks rallying his followers to prepare to use violence in a desperate bid to keep Republican Donald Trump in the White House. If convicted of seditious conspiracy, they could face up to 20 years behind bars.
Court records show the Oath Keepers, in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6, discussing paramilitary training and setting up a "quick reaction force" that could get weapons into Washington quickly if they were needed. Oath Keepers stashed weapons for the "quick reaction force" at a Virginia hotel and equipped themselves with communication devices, helmets, vests and other battle gear before storming the Capitol with the large mob of angry Trump supporters, prosecutors say.
Rhodes is not accused of going inside the Capitol, but telephone records show he was communicating with Oath Keepers who did enter around the time of the riot and he was seen with members outside afterward.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes' path: From Yale to jail
Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, Kenneth Harrelson and Thomas Caldwell face several other charges in addition to seditious conspiracy.
Drawing from an original pool of 150 potential jurors, the judge and lawyers individually questioned about half of them over three days. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta disqualified dozens of the prospective jurors, mainly based on concerns about whether they could be fair and impartial.
Thomas Caldwell’s lawyer, David Fischer, asked many of the prospective jurors for their opinions about supporters of former President Donald Trump.
"I don’t understand the allegiance to him," said a woman who is an elementary school principal. The judge rejected defense lawyers’ request to dismiss her.
One of the many lawyers from the jury pool described Trump’s die-hard supporters as "misinformed" and referred to the Jan. 6 attack as an "insurrection." The judge disqualified him.
A few of the jurors are federal government employees, including a patent lawyer, a Transportation Security Administration program analyst and a man who works for the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

The GAO worker said he attended two Black Lives Matter protests after George Floyd’s killing by a police officer in Minneapolis. He said he has a "negative impression" of the Oath Keepers but believes he could be impartial.
Another juror is a man who works in human resources for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and owned a home on Capitol Hill. He said his father is a Trump supporter. He also said one of his neighbors is U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, who sits in the court where this trial is being held and often presides over hearings for Jan. 6 criminal cases.
A juror who works for the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs said he doesn’t closely follow politics, adding, "I find the whole thing relatively distasteful." Someone else chosen for the jury works as a health care consultant and said he has close friends who are Trump supporters.

"I don’t understand why people did what they did on January 6th," he said.
Rhodes' lawyers have said his defense will focus on their client's belief that Trump was going to invoke the Insurrection Act and call up a militia to support his bid to stay in power. Rhodes' lawyers have said they will tell jurors that he is not guilty of seditious conspiracy because his actions in anticipation of what he believed would have been lawful orders from Trump under the Insurrection Act.
His lawyers have said the "quick reaction force" outside Washington was meant for defensive purposes if Trump did so. Lawyers for the other Oath Keepers have said they came to Washington only to provide security for figures such as Trump ally Roger Stone at events before the riot.
Nearly 900 people have been charged so far in the Jan. 6 riot and more than 400 have pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial. Sentences for the rioters so far have ranged from probation for low-level misdemeanor offenses to 10 years in prison for a retired New York City police officer who used a metal flagpole to assault an officer at the Capitol. | https://www.fox4news.com/news/capitol-riot-jury-picked-for-1st-seditious-conspiracy-trial | 2022-09-30 17:41:00 | 0 | https://www.fox4news.com/news/capitol-riot-jury-picked-for-1st-seditious-conspiracy-trial |

Patriot missile systems will help Ukraine’s defense but experts caution they may have limited effect
By Haley Britzky, CNN
The US announced this week that it is providing a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine — but experts say that while it will be a valuable addition to the beleaguered country’s air defense, it’s not a cure-all.
The US announced a new aid package to Ukraine on Tuesday, which included the “first-ever transfer to Ukraine of the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, capable of bringing down cruise missiles, short range ballistic missiles, and aircraft at a significantly higher ceiling than previously provided air defense systems,” according to a State Department spokesperson. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to the US on Wednesday to celebrate the transfer with US President Joe Biden.
“It increases accuracy, it increases the kill rate, so it really does exactly what you want it to do which is protection on the ground on very specific targets,” retired Maj. Gen. James “Spider” Marks previously told CNN of the system’s capabilities.
The Patriot’s radar system combines “surveillance, tracking, and engagement functions in one unit,” a description from the Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS) says, which makes it stand out among other air defense systems. The system’s engagements with incoming aerial threats are “nearly autonomous” aside from needing a “final launch decision” from the humans operating it.
Ukraine has repeatedly asked for the US Army’s Patriot — an acronym for Phased Array Tracking Radar for intercept on Target — system, as it is considered one of the most capable long-range air defense systems on the market. And though the US did not fulfill the request for the first 10 months of the war, a senior administration official told CNN that the “reality of what is going on” on the ground in Ukraine influenced their decision to do so.
In recent weeks, the Russian military has increasingly attacked Ukraine’s power grid and infrastructure as winter approached and the temperatures dropped. Zelensky told Biden that “Russian missile terror” had knocked out roughly half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Those attacks have only further fueled Ukraine’s asks for the Patriot. In fact, the Army calls the Patriot system the service’s “most advanced air defense system,” which can intercept “any aerial threat” under “any weather conditions.”
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, former commander of US Army Europe, told CNN that there is likely some unrealistic expectations about what a Patriot battery will be able to do for Ukraine. It won’t, for example, be available to use immediately after the US agrees to provide it — it takes months to train troops on how to use the complex system, Hertling said, adding that training US troops to serve as maintainers or repairmen takes around a year. And it won’t be able to provide blanket cover for the entire country.
“These systems don’t pick up and move around the battlefield,” Hertling said. “You put them in place somewhere that defends your most strategic target, like a city, like Kyiv. If anyone thinks this is going to be a system that is spread across a 500-mile border between Ukraine and Russia, they just don’t know how the system operates.”
Indeed, Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at CSIS, told CNN that the Patriot is “not a game-changer” because it is “still only able to defend a relatively small piece of dirt.”
Not to mention the significant logistical needs; just one battery is operated by roughly 90 soldiers, and includes computers, an engagement control system, a phased array radar, power generating equipment, and “up to eight launchers,” according to the Army.
CSIS recently said in a report that the missile rounds for the Patriot come in at roughly $4 million each. Rounds that expensive likely won’t be used to shoot down every missile Russia launches toward Ukraine, Hertling said.
“This is not a system that will go after drones or smaller ballistic missiles,” he said. “Can it do that? Absolutely. But when you’re talking about knocking down a $20,000 drone, or a $100,000 ballistic missile that Russia buys, with a $3-5 million rocket, that doesn’t give you much of a return on the investment. What it can do it free up the low and medium systems to go after those kind of targets.”
The system has been purchased by other US allies, including Israel, Germany, and Japan, and was sent to Poland in an effort to help them defend themselves against Russia as it invaded Ukraine on its border. The US military made clear in March when the Patriot system was sent to Poland that it was purely for defensive purposes of NATO territory and “will in no way support any offensive operations.”
And in Ukraine’s case, Hertling says offensive operations are far more important than the Patriot system. CNN first reported last month that the US was considering a dramatic increase in the training provided to Ukrainian forces by instructing as many as 2,500 troops a month at a US base in Germany. The Pentagon said this month that combined arms training of battalion-sized elements, which will include infantry maneuvers and live fire exercises, would begin in January.
“The Patriots are a defensive, anti-ballistic and anti-aircraft weapon system, with the emphasis on defensive,” Hertling said. “You don’t win wars with defensive capabilities. You win wars with offensive capabilities.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott and Lil Wayne will be honored at the Recording Academy’s second annual Black Music Collective event during Grammy week next month.
The academy announced Wednesday that the three Grammy winners and executive Sylvia Rhone will receive the Global Impact Award for their personal achievements in the music industry. The event will be held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Feb. 2, ahead of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 5.
“I am so thrilled to honor and celebrate these four giants in the music industry,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. “Last year’s inaugural event was such a highlight during Grammy week and now with Dre, Missy, Wayne and Sylvia there to pay tribute to this year, it’s definitely going to be another night to remember. I continue to be proud of the work of our Black Music Collective as it’s (a) vital part of what we do here at the academy.”
Black Music Collective is a group created in 2020 of prominent music industry leaders — including honorary chairs John Legend, Jimmy Jam and Quincy Jones — who are looking to find ways to drive Black representation and inclusion.
Last year, Legend, MC Lyte and D-Nice were honored. The event also highlights LVRN, a Black-founded record label that has built a roster that includes 6lack, D.R.A.M., Westside Boogie and Summer Walker.
Dr. Dre, a seven-time Grammy winner, has produced big hits for Jay-Z, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Nas and 50 Cent. He won his first Emmy for his Super Halftime performance with Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Lamar and 50 Cent.

She broke through with her debut album “Supa Dupa Fly” and has collaborated with several top music acts including Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Ciara, Lil’ Kim, J. Cole, Busta Rhymes and Chris Brown.
Lil Wayne, who has won five Grammys, has a variety of massive hits including “Lollipop” feat. Static Major and “A Milli.” He also helped ignite the careers of Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga.
Rhone has been regarded as one of the most influential music executives in the industry. She made history in 1994 when she was named chairman and CEO of Elektra Entertainment Group. At the time, the promotion made her the only African American and first-ever woman to hold the titles. | https://www.ourmidland.com/entertainment/article/Dr-Dre-Missy-Lil-Wayne-to-be-honored-at-17711334.php | 2023-01-11 21:49:47 | 0 | https://www.ourmidland.com/entertainment/article/Dr-Dre-Missy-Lil-Wayne-to-be-honored-at-17711334.php |
Black women don't sell magazines. That's what Edward Enninful heard from the very beginning of his career in the fashion industry. And for him, that just sounded absurd.
"I [was raised] by my mother, who was a seamstress, and she would make clothes for the most incredible women, women of all sizes and women of all skin tones and ages," Enninful says. "For me, fashion was always such an inclusive, beautiful thing."
The reality of the industry was often different. Enninful's family emigrated to the UK from Ghana when he was a child. As a teenager, he was "discovered" by a modeling agent on a train, but when he went to casting calls, he was often dismissed because of his race.
"I'll be told I was too dark or that my lips were too big or my nose was too wide," he says. "I really saw firsthand that being dark skinned or being Black wasn't so desirable back then."
At 18, Enninful quit modeling and began to work behind the camera for i-D, a magazine that focused on young people's street style. As the magazine's art director, he made it a goal to represent the world in all its diversity: "Even when people would say to me, 'Oh, another Black model on the cover,' I used to say, 'Yes, and here's another one!' ... And I was never really scared because I knew that the world that I saw had to be reflected."
This insight is one of the driving forces behind Enninful's three-decades-long career as a stylist, art director and editor for some of the most popular fashion magazines and brands in the world. He's has served as editor-in-chief of British Vogue since 2017, holding the distinction as the first male Black and gay editor in the magazine's 106 year history.
Enninful writes about his life and career in the memoir, A Visible Man.
Interview highlights
On growing up in his mother's clothing studio in Ghana
My mother had an atelier, about 40 seamstresses, so there was almost like a huge room in the bungalow and the seamstresses were all around sewing. And my mum would be in another room. If you know African fabrics, you know the colors. African women love to dress. There is no dressing down with African women. So I was my mother's assistant. I'll be sketching with her. I'll be literally zipping women into sort of corseted dresses. I'll be playing with eyelets and I was transformed by what my mother showed me, what those days showed me, and when people talk about today and inclusivity and diversity, I just knew from a young age that, really, beauty for me started with curvy women.
On how his mother's African fashion has informed his editorial eye
I remember when my mom always loved nipped in waists, always like big sleeves, three layered sleeves and ... three layered peplums, [in] African wax prints. And all I remember were those headscarves that would literally touch the sky, and the skirts were always really, really tight, so the women always hobbled along. But it was all about accentuating a woman's curves, not hiding them. So it was like an hourglass. And I remember those beautiful, beautiful prints — oranges, greens, greens mixed with oranges, yellows mixed with browns, sort of unexpected colors, which even to this day, when I'm putting colors together, people always said, "Oh, that's a weird combination," but it works.
On becoming the fashion director at i-D when he was 18
There I was, an 18 year old in charge of this important magazine. So what did I do? I just threw myself into it. I learned everything I could about magazines. I didn't sleep. I would literally style the covers. I would work on cover lines. I would work on features inside the magazines. I worked on the shopping pages. I mean, it was like a one-man army. And then on top of that, I'd be in the advertising department learning how to sell the magazine. And we had these club nights. So I went to those club nights as well, so we could show the world what we were doing as a magazine and get them to invest. I was in the art department. When you're 18 and you feel like an imposter, you just learn everything you can learn. So I didn't sleep. All I did was work and learn my craft. Even though it was quite difficult [for] the next however many years, at that moment in time, I knew I couldn't fail.
On the importance of empathy in fashion
When I'm working with Rihanna or Beyoncé or an incredible icon, I know from even a little expression on their face if they're comfortable or even a little wiggle of discomfort. I notice all those things because of my mother's studio and studying what made a woman feel really comfortable and really feel at her best.
You have to really have empathy as a designer, as a stylist towards women, women's bodies and essentially how they feel.
Had I not been around my mum, soaking in women and the beauty of women, I probably wouldn't have that sensitivity. And really, when I picked up those early days was empathy. ... You have to be able to feel what somebody is feeling because, I always say clothing — it's not just clothing, it's armor. It's how you want the world to see you when you leave your house, it's how you want to be perceived. So a lot goes into it. So you have to really have empathy as a designer, as a stylist towards women, women's bodies and essentially how they feel.
On the 2008 all-Black issue of Vogue Italia, featuring cover-to-cover Black people, which launched his career to the next level
The Black Issue started [after] I went to what we call the ready to wear collections, twice a year when designers show their clothes to the world. And I just remember sitting there feeling really sad because out of a lineup of 40 models, there wasn't one Black model. There wasn't one! ... And I remember returning back to New York because I was working in New York at the time on W Magazine and saying to my collaborator, Steven Meisel, who was the premiere photographer for Italian Vogue, he shot all the covers. And I was sitting with Steven and I was being really sad and said, "Steven, there are no Black models for the shows anymore. There are no Black models there, not in magazines." ...
Steven was like, "Let me speak to Franca Sozzani." ... [She] was the editor of Italian Vogue at the time and a real visionary, literally came back and said, "Let's do an issue full of Black women ... cover to cover." So it was a really incredible moment. I worked on a shoot with Toccara Jones, with Naomi Campbell, but it was incredible to see an issue that had Iman, Beverly Johnson and Tyra Banks as well as all the young models. And it was such an incredible idea and incredible moment. It sold out. And I think they had to reprint, at that time, 40,000 copies. But it showed that Black can sell, that actually the world was waiting or the world wanted it, but they just weren't being offered it. That's what the Black issue showed.
On what it meant to receive an award from the British Empire, as an immigrant
I just realized, oh, my God, I had contributed something to my country. And I wasn't that little outsider who arrived on the plane with my siblings, that I'd been able to take opportunity and really work hard. But while doing that also, I was able to bring people up with me, people of color up with me. ... So when I received the award, it was really a wonderful moment, especially also for my father, who literally had to come to a different country, start a whole new life, not be able to work and not have any money and bring up six kids. So for him, it was such a special moment. There was also one of the reasons why I agreed to accept it, because it made him very proud.
On drawing on his imagination while recovering from eye surgery
While I was in the darkness, not being able to be visually stimulated, I dreamt bigger. I saw Technicolor. I saw colors. And I came out of the three weeks in the darkness to create one of my most memorable covers with Rihanna as the Queen for W Magazine. ... I may not be able to style if [I lose my vision], but I know that I can withdraw into imagination because in my imagination, I see everything. I see beauty.
On getting ideas from his dreams
Sometimes I'll be really fighting with myself and not coming up with an idea and I'll go to sleep. And then I'll wake up and I'll see all the images. I'll see the model, I'll see the location, I'll see the hair, I'll see the makeup. And for years, I thought that was cheating. [It was] my mom who said, "That's actually a gift," because I didn't know ... what a gift was. "It's a God given gift and you have to really look after it."

Could a third party-candidate steal the 2024 election? Experts say don’t count on it
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Biden vs. Trump is a scenario few Americans want to see it again, according to recent polling. Yet, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are the frontrunners for their party’s nominations in next year’s presidential election.
So, what are the chances a third party could steal the 2024 election? Experts say do not count on it.
“These parties arise out of discontent with the way things are going with governance in America,” said Dr. Allan J. Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History at American University.
The latest Gallup poll suggests Americans have never felt worse about President Biden’s governing. Only 37 percent approve of the job he is doing. But, if Democrats nominate the president, is there an opening for a third-party candidate?
“So far, I don’t see really the formulation of a third party,” Lichtman said.
But Lichtman thinks if a serious third-party challenger surfaces, they would target President Biden with one exception.
“If the third party, this is very rare, almost never happens, represents a split within the opposition party,” explained Lichtman. “So, say (Ron) DeSantis gets nominated and Trump organizes a third party. That would be bad news for the Republicans.”
Ballotpedia recognizes more than 200 political parties in the U.S., but not all are on every ballot. The closest we have seen to a third party winning the presidency was Progressive Party candidate Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. He won 88 electoral votes.
Since then, all other third parties have played “spoiler” in elections like the Green Party’s Ralph Nader in 2000.
“Whatever effect they do have is almost always monkeying with the outcome and not actually winning the election,” said Georgetown University Associate Professor Dr. Hans Noel.
So, what about 2024? An NBC News poll last month showed only five percent of the country want both President Biden and former President Trump to run again and they are.
However, Noel said if a third party wants to be taken seriously, they should focus on congressional and gubernatorial races first.
“A lot of the third-party candidates go straight for the White House because that’s the exciting thing. So, we talk a lot about and I think that’s telling. I think it tells us that they’re not actually interested in governing. They’re interested in shaking things up,” Noel said.
Dr. Lichtman said the U.S. has had and will likely have two major political parties for the foreseeable future unless we get rid of the Electoral College.
“The majority of Americans would like to see direct election by popular vote. And if that were to happen, third parties would become much more important,” said Lichtman.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Mabu saunters across a grassy field and raises his long, gray trunk to wrangle food from a hole carved inside a large boulder, captivating the attention of a girl propped up on her father’s shoulders.
At this zoo in a central California farming community, the 32-year-old African elephant is key not only to drawing visitors but also to ensuring there are elephants for zoogoers to see in the years to come — a future some animal lovers want to avoid.
Over the past year, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo has been pulled into a growing global debate over the future of elephants in zoos. In recent years, some zoos have phased out elephant exhibits due to the complexity of the animals and their needs. Still, others, like Fresno’s zoo, say they are committed to keeping elephants and are turning to breeding, arguing that a sustainable population of zoo elephants will help spur a commitment to wildlife conservation among future generations of visitors.
The zoo in Fresno, while beloved by local residents, has been targeted by animal activists in a report criticizing living conditions for the elephants and in legal actions trying to free them. Broadly, some elephant experts say urban zoos simply don’t have the space that African elephants, who roam extensive distances in the wild to forage for hundreds of pounds of vegetation each day, need for a normal life.
The zoo opened a revamped and expanded multi-species African Adventure exhibit in 2015 to better accommodate elephants, lions and gazelles by giving them more space to roam. It’s also been working with other zoos around the country on breeding more of the animals, which are endangered in the wild, in the United States.
Mabu came to the zoo from one in Arizona last year after Vus’Musi, another male elephant, showed little interest in breeding. Mabu has sired offspring at other zoos and there’s hope he can do so again to grow the Fresno zoo’s population.
“Lions, tigers and bears. People are coming to see charismatic megafauna — that’s the term we use,” said Jon Forrest Dohlin, chief executive officer of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, comparing an elephant to a larger-than-life figure like pop star Justin Bieber. He said visitors who see animals in real life — instead of in a photo or on a screen — are more likely to support conservation efforts. “We’re telling large stories, so it is something that is important for conservation writ large,” he said.
In recent years, some larger zoos such as the Toronto Zoo and San Francisco Zoo have phased out their elephant programs, sending their aging animals to sanctuaries in the United States that have far more space. The Los Angeles Zoo is also discussing sending its Asian elephant, Billy, to a sanctuary.
In some cases, animal rights activists have started legal efforts aimed at removing elephants from zoos.
In New York, the Nonhuman Rights Project filed legal papers to try to free the Asian elephant Happy from the Bronx Zoo but lost in court. The group then filed similar papers to try to free Fresno’s three African elephants — a mother-daughter pair and Vus’Musi — but a judge ruled against the group.
This month, the group filed a case in an appeals court and swapped in Mabu. Jake Davis, an attorney for the Nonhuman Rights Project, said the case isn’t over — especially since the zoo sent Vus’Musi to a zoo in San Diego so it could bring in Mabu in a bid to boost breeding.
“He really is their golden ticket,” Davis said. “Hopefully we can get him out.”
Some elephant experts argue the more humans learn about elephants’ intelligence and social networks the more compelling the argument to release them — or at the very least to stop breeding them in zoos. They also note that poaching of elephants and habitat destruction in Africa continue despite conservation efforts by zoos and question the difference they’re making in hosting visitors who are largely seeking recreation.
“It’s wrong to be bringing more elephants into living 60 years, or whatever they live to, in a captive situation,” said Joyce Poole, co-founder of the advocacy group Elephant Voices, adding that in the wild elephants make decisions about where to find food and water and meet with relatives, something they simply can’t do in zoos. “It’s like seeing a person in prison.”
Elephants were brought to U.S. zoos for decades, but transfers of African elephants have become rare in recent years amid rising international concern over the numerous threats they face in the wild — which also prompted the International Union for Conservation of Nature to change the species from vulnerable to endangered in 2021. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also drafting new rules for elephant imports aimed at protecting African elephants, which have dwindled from 26 million in the 18th century to 415,000.
At a meeting last year, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora put the trade of African elephants on hold to hash out conditions for transfers to take place.
As a result, the future of elephants — which have relatively few offspring and a 22-month gestation period — in zoos hinges largely on breeding. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which has a program aimed at sustaining the zoo population, said about 160 African elephants currently live in U.S. zoos.
Breeding plans are underway at various zoos through the association’s species survival plan to ensure elephants have a sustainable future, said David Hagan, the plan’s coordinator and chief zoological officer at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.
“From a population model standpoint, I think there is hope,” he said.
In Fresno, the 12,000-pound Mabu delights visitors as he pulls food from puzzle-like devices wedged inside the boulder to keep him intellectually stimulated. Joe Foster, a 42-year-old nurse, leans on the fence outside the exhibit, entranced by his movements, while on a date.
“My heart grew three sizes just sitting and watching him eat today,” he said.
Meanwhile, the zoo’s female elephants — Nolwazi, 28, and her daughter Amahle, 13 — greet each other by crossing trunks and tapping each other’s mouths before getting training and health checks inside a cavernous building. A zookeeper, standing behind a barrier, gives directions to Amahle, and she follows, turning to each side and allowing her ears and feet to be checked in exchange for chunks of apple and zucchini.
Some zoos have sent aging elephants to wildlife sanctuaries, including a sprawling habitat about 130 miles (209 kilometers) north of Fresno in San Andreas, California. Started by advocates disheartened by the treatment of elephants in the entertainment industry, the Performing Animal Welfare Society has 80 acres (32 hectares) of grassy hillsides where elephants can roam — more than 20 times the roaming space of the Fresno exhibit.
Ed Stewart, the society’s co-founder, relishes being able to provide elephants with more space than an urban zoo but said that it’s still not enough and ideally the sanctuary wouldn’t exist.
“At some point, we’re going to look back and think, we used to keep wild animals in cages — big cages, small cages, an enclosure, a habitat, whatever you want to call it,” he said. “I think for the public, a light bulb is going to go on and they’re going to say, ‘What in the world are we doing it for?’” | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/should-elephants-stay-in-us-zoos-without-breeding-future-is-uncertain/ | 2023-02-28 11:45:32 | 0 | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/should-elephants-stay-in-us-zoos-without-breeding-future-is-uncertain/ |
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Racial tensions in Mississippi echoed in Missouri Thursday, as Black Democratic lawmakers accused the state’s Republican House leadership of racism for shutting down a Black lawmaker’s speech and passing a bill that could strip power from the Black woman elected as prosecutor in St. Louis.
The discord in the Missouri House came just days after a similar situation in Mississippi, where Black lawmakers denounced the majority-white, Republican-led Legislature for voting to take power away from local leaders in the predominantly Black city of Jackson.
Like in Mississippi, Missouri’s legislature has a largely white Republican majority. Most of the Black lawmakers represent the state’s two largest urban areas of St. Louis and Kansas City.
Missouri Republicans have made anti-crime legislation a priority this session, often highlighting high crime rates in St. Louis as an impetus. The House passed legislation by a 109-35 vote that would allow Republican Gov. Mike Parson to appoint a special prosecutor to handle violent crimes in areas with high homicide rates, such as St. Louis. The bill also would expand mandatory minimum sentences for persistent felony offenders, among other things.
State Rep. Kevin Windham, a Black Democrat from St. Louis County, was reading aloud a news article about the Mississippi situation during the House debate when some white Republican lawmakers objected that his speech had nothing to do with the Missouri legislation.
House Speaker Dean Plocher ruled Windham out of order, halting his speech. Windham’s microphone was turned off. House Majority Leader Jon Patterson then made a motion to shut off debate on the bill, which the Republican majority voted to do — leaving other Black Democrats standing without getting a turn to speak.
Black lawmakers were outraged.
“It’s racist to not allow him to speak,” Rep. Marlene Terry, a St. Louis County Democrat who is chair of the Missouri Black Legislative Caucus, told reporters after the debate.
Terry said she was calling on Black leaders and community activists to come to the Capitol.
“From now on there’s no more peaceful – no more peaceful – it’s going to be actions,” Terry said. “We’re going to let them know that we are here to be heard.”
The Rev. Darryl Gray, a St. Louis pastor and a leading racial justice activist, posted a Facebook message urging people to rally at the state Capitol next Wednesday to stand up “against state control & white suppression.”
Patterson defended his role in halting the debate, saying the “conversation was devolving and may have gotten worse.”
“I don’t discount any of the experiences that our Black lawmakers have had, or the white lawmakers,” Patterson told The Associated Press. “I can guarantee this — it did not play a role in me deciding that it was time to have a vote on the bill.”
In Mississippi, tensions were stirred Tuesday by two separate votes. The Mississippi Senate voted to create a regional board to eventually take control of Jackson’s struggling water system, which is now overseen by a federally appointed administrator. Then the House voted to create a new court in part of Jackson with judges who would be appointed rather than elected.
Democratic Mississippi state Sen. John Horhn said during a Legislative Black Caucus news conference that the actions “amount to a symbolic decapitation of Black elected leadership.”
Missouri’s debate on Thursday was relatively brief. But the House had spent several hours debating and amending the bill the previous day. The final vote didn’t fall exclusively on racial lines. Among those voting for the bill were a Black Republican lawmaker from suburban St. Louis and two Black Democratic lawmakers from Kansas City. That included Democratic Rep. Mark Sharp, who supported a provision in the bill making it a crime to discharge a firearm with criminal negligence in city limits.
Plocher said passage of the bill — which now heads to the Republican-led Senate — was an exciting step.
“We’re beginning a process to improve Missourians’ lives by cracking down on crime,” Plocher said.
The office of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner issued a statement calling the legislation “a political stunt.”
Zaki Baruti, leader of the St. Louis-based Universal African People’s Organization, described the effort to strip power from Gardner as “a move against Democracy.”
Gardner is the first and only Black circuit attorney elected in St. Louis, and she has pursued a progressive agenda. She stopped prosecuting low-level marijuana crimes, favors diverting first-time, non-violent offenders to community programs instead of jail, and has developed an “exclusion list” of several dozen police officers who are not allowed to bring cases to her office, based in part on concerns of potential racial bias among those officers.
“She represents the hopes and aspirations of the Black community,” Baruti said. He added: “Clearly this is an attack and not just happening here in St. Louis but across America, where when Black people seize key positions of power and do actions that some lawmakers feel that they can’t go along with, they come under tremendous attack.”

Wall Street is roaring into October, and stocks are rallying toward their best day in months Monday as falling bond yields ease some of the pressure that’s battered markets.
The S&P 500 was 3% higher in afternoon trading, the latest swing for a scattershot market that’s been mostly falling this year on worries about a possible global recession. It’s coming off its worst month since the coronavirus crashed markets in early 2020.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 841 points, or 2.9%, at 29,566, as of 3:18 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 2.6% higher.
Giving some respite to stocks was a drop in Treasury yields, which have been surging at market-shaking speed for most of the year. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set rates for mortgages and many other kinds of loans, fell to 3.66% from 3.83% late Friday. It got as high as 4% last week after starting the year at just 1.51%.
A report on U.S. manufacturing from the Institute for Supply Management came in weaker than expected. So did a separate report on construction spending across the country.
While that may seem discouraging, it could mean the Federal Reserve won’t have to be so aggressive about raising interest rates in order to beat down the high inflation damaging households’ finances.
By raising rates, the Fed is making it more expensive to buy a house, a car, or most anything else purchased on credit. The hope is to slow the economy just enough to starve inflation of the purchases needed to keep prices rising so quickly. But the Fed also risks causing a recession if it goes too far.
The Fed has already pulled its key overnight interest rate to a range of 3% to 3.25%, up from virtually zero as recently as March. Most traders expect it to be more than a full percentage point higher by early next year.
The yield on the two-year Treasury, which more closely tracks expectations for Fed action, fell to 4.12% from 4.27% following the weaker-than-expected reports on the economy.
Besides stocks, lower rates also boost prices for everything from cryptocurrencies to gold, which can suddenly look a bit more attractive when bonds are paying less in income.
Stocks of high-growth companies and particularly risky or expensive investments have been the most affected by changes in rates. Bitcoin rallied Monday with the reprieve in yields, while technology stocks did the heaviest lifting to carry the S&P 500. Apple and Microsoft both rose at least 3.3%.
Still, cross-currents continue to course through markets, and analysts largely expect sharp swings in prices to continue.
Crude oil prices jumped Monday amid speculation big oil-producing countries could soon announce cuts to production. That adds upward pressure on inflation.
The lift helped stocks of energy-producing companies to big gains. Exxon Mobil leaped 5.3%, and Chevron climbed 5.7%.
Monday’s rally came despite a 7.4% drop for Tesla, one of the most influential stocks on Wall Street because of its massive market value. The maker of electric vehicles delivered fewer vehicles from July through September than investors expected.
More turbulence for markets could arrive Friday when the latest update on the U.S. jobs market hits. Along with its reports on inflation, the U.S. government’s monthly jobs report has been one of the most highly anticipated pieces of data on Wall Street.
It will be the last jobs report before the Fed makes its next decision on interest rates, scheduled for Nov. 2, and continued strength would give the central bank more reason to keep hiking. Traders say the likeliest move is a fourth straight increase of a whopping three-quarters of a percentage point, triple the usual move.
For markets to make a meaningful move higher, many investors say they need to see a break in inflation that gets the Fed to ease off its aggressive path.
Such hopes for a Fed “pivot” by investors have repeatedly resurfaced this year, only to get shot down by further accelerations in inflation.
But with stresses building in financial markets as central banks around the world hike rates in concert, conditions have gotten “into the danger zone where ‘bad stuff’ happens,” according to Michael Wilson, an equity strategist at Morgan Stanley.
That could get the Fed to blink at some point. The problem, Wilson says, is that another force weighing on markets could soon come to the forefront: weaker corporate profits.
A suite of challenges from higher interest rates to the surging value of the U.S. dollar may be setting things up for “the freight train of the oncoming earnings recession,” he wrote in a report. Companies are getting ready now to report in upcoming weeks how they fared through the summer, and analysts have been downgrading their expectations.

Huskers unveil 2023 baseball schedule
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Head coach Will Bolt announced the 2023 baseball schedule Monday, which features 27 home games at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park for the Huskers.
“We have a challenging schedule that will give our student-athletes the opportunity to compete against some of the top teams in college baseball,” said Bolt. “The Big Ten continues to improve every year and our schedule leading up to conference play will help us get ready to compete in our league. I’m excited for our home slate and look forward to playing in front of our great fans at Hawks Field next spring.”
The schedule includes five 2022 NCAA Tournament participants, including defending national champion Ole Miss. The Huskers take on the reigning national champion in regular-season action for the third time in the last 18 seasons after facing Oregon State in 2019 and Texas in 2006.
Other 2022 NCAA Tournament participants include WCC tournament champion San Diego, Big Ten tournament champion Michigan and at-large selections Vanderbilt and Maryland. The conference portion has NU facing four of last year’s top five Big Ten teams.
The Huskers open their 55-game slate in the Golden State for the first time since 2019, as the Huskers begin their season with a four-game series at San Diego (Feb. 17-20). The following weekend, Nebraska treks to Mobile, Ala., for a three-game set at South Alabama (Feb. 24-26).
NU continues its season-opening road trip, as the Huskers are set to compete in the Cambria College Classic at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Big Red open with Vanderbilt (March 3) before battling Hawaii (March 4) and Ole Miss (March 5).
Nebraska gets an early jump on its home slate and plays 14 of its next 15 games at Hawks Field in the month of March. The Huskers open the home schedule with a 10-game homestand that includes games against Northern Colorado (March 7-8), Illinois State (March 10-12), Omaha (March 14) and Nicholls (March 16-19).
After a trip down I-80 to visit Creighton at Charles Schwab Field (March 21), the Huskers start Big Ten play with a home series with Illinois (March 24-26) before welcoming North Dakota State for a midweek game (March 28).
The Huskers make the trip to Abilene, Texas, for a Saturday doubleheader against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Abilene Christian (April 1), and a midweek matchup at Kansas State (April 4) rounds out the four-game non-conference stretch.
NU hits the road for Michigan (April 7-9) before a midweek return visit from Omaha (April 11) and a home series with Northwestern (April 14-16).
Nebraska welcomes Creighton (April 18) and visits Iowa (April 21-23) and Omaha (April 25) before wrapping up the month with home contests vs. South Dakota State (April 26) and Minnesota (April 28-30).
The Huskers begin May with a midweek game against North Dakota State (May 3) and visits to Maryland (May 5-7) and Creighton (May 9). Nebraska wraps up Big Ten play with a home series with Penn State (May 12-14) before venturing to West Lafayette for the final series of the season at Purdue (May 18-20).
Charles Schwab Field in Omaha will be the setting for the Big Ten Tournament for the sixth time, having previously been the site in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022. The 2023 event runs May 24-28, and the tournament champion advances to the NCAA Tournament with the league’s automatic bid.

NEW YORK, July 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMPX) between June 29, 2021 and May 19, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important July 26, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased LMP securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the LMP class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6635 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 26, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) LMP engaged in the improper identification and elimination of intercompany transactions; (2) LMP used incorrect estimates for chargeback reserves for finance and insurance products; (3) LMP had misclassified certain items in its financial statements which impacting balance sheet and income statement financial statement captions; (4) there were material weaknesses in LMP's internal control over financial reporting; (5) as a result of the foregoing, LMP overstated its revenue; (6) as a result of the foregoing, LMP would restate certain of its previously issued financial statements and results; and (7) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about LMP'S business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the LMP class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6635 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Megan Thee Stallion is celebrating a sweet milestone with her beau, Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine. The duo recently rang in two years together, taking to their respective Instagram accounts on Tuesday to celebrate their anniversary.
"Yr 2 with U 💙," the 27-year-old rapper wrote alongside a series of photos featuring the couple enjoying luxurious nights out, posing in dressing rooms and more intimate shots of them cuddling in bed and hanging around the house. One photo even shows Megan in a face mask as Pardi rests in bed beside her.
Pardi's gallery of photos is even cuter, giving a closer look at the couple when they aren't in the public's view.
"TWO YEARS AROUND THE SUN .. SEEM LIKE WE BEEN ON OUR OWN PLANET.. I love lovin you ..GOT 4 EVER 2 GO .." the music producer captioned his slides which feature videos of the two eating at a restaurant and another of Pardi using a fork, pretending to snack on Megan's backside like a meal.
"You happy?" he asks Megan in a video of the "WAP" rapper eating snacks in a camping tent. Megan nods happily, watching something offscreen.
But before fans start thinking their sweet celebration led to a Hot Girl Engagement, Megan was quick to nip those rumors in the bud. The rapper took to Twitter to clarify that she and Fontaine are not engaged, despite having a wonderful time ringing in their two years together.
"Lol as nice as last night was we are not engaged," she wrote. Maybe next year!
The posts are a sweet look into the couple's relationship, which began after they met while working on the remix of her award-winning song, "Savage," featuring Beyoncé.
In February 2021, the rapper confirmed her romance with Pardi during an Instagram Live session, after she showed off her lavish Valentine's Day events with the producer.
"I didn't like what they was trying to say about Pardi," Megan told her fans, before sharing their relationship status. "'Cause he is so calm and so sweet and very protective...That's my boo and I really like him."
"I never said hot girl can never have a boyfriend," she continued, later adding, "Yeah, he my boyfriend."
Days before that, Megan tweeted about her "boo," writing, "I'm healthy, I can take care of myself, my friends & family love me, my boo love me (he mad at me rn but he still love me) shiddd Beyoncé love me. I'm just happy and blessed lol."
Happy anniversary, Megan and Pardi!

DUBLIN, Ohio, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tyson Group is pleased to announce it has been included on Selling Power's Top 25 Sales Training Companies 2022 list.
Selling Power Magazine's prestigious Top Sales Training Companies List helps sales leaders identify and select sales training companies with a track record of producing tangible ROI while also providing superior customer service.
According to Selling Power publisher and founder Gerhard Gschwandtner, sales training is more important than ever. The economy has shifted significantly due to inflation, Covid 19, the war in the Ukraine, shortages in supply and the emergence of new learning technologies.
"Sales training companies had to adjust in the last year," says Gschwandtner. "Each of the sales training companies included on this list was able to pivot quickly to deliver best-in-class, engaging sales training both virtually, and in person. Their efforts and expertise helped their clients reach and exceed sales goals and decrease onboarding time in a highly challenging economy."
All companies on the list submitted a comprehensive application that included a detailed listing of their offerings for both training and retention, innovative solutions, their company's unique contributions to the sales training marketplace, and their ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The world of sales and training has changed dramatically. CEOs have no choice but to rebuild their sales force in new ways. This award benchmarks against the best in class," says Lance Tyson, President & CEO of Tyson Group.

Republican lawmakers stopped Democrats in the Senate from capping the cost of insulin for millions of Americans during last weekend’s haggling over the Inflation Reduction Act.
The bill, which heads to the House this week, does limit how much people on Medicare will have to pay out of pocket for the life-saving medication, but not people with private insurance.
Here & Now‘s Robin Young speaks with Dr. Jing Luo, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.
