Robinhood is closing its Charlotte office, leaving big promises unfulfilled
The company promised to create 389 new jobs in exchange for about $4 million in incentives over 12 years.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AXIOS) - Why it matters: Robinhood’s decision to close locally came less than a year after its flashy announcement to expand here.
- Local leaders heralded that announcement as yet another sign the city was becoming a hotspot for fintech job growth.
Zoom out: The decision comes amid a company-wide layoff of 23% of its entire staff, as Axios’ Dan Primack reports.
- Robinhood surged in popularity during the bull market for stocks, as Primack notes. The company has now faced lower trading volumes and revenue as markets have retreated.
- The company-wide layoffs impact 780 people, Robinhood spokesperson Casey Becker tells Axios. 2,600 employees will remain with the company.
What they’re saying: “Employees in Charlotte who remain with Robinhood will begin working under our work from anywhere model,” Becker said.
- It’s unclear how many Robinhood employees in Charlotte are losing their jobs. Becker says the company does not share region-specific information.
- Earlier this year, the company also laid off about 9% of its staff.
Flashback: In March 2021, Robinhood announced plans to open a Charlotte office at Legacy Union in Uptown. The company promised to create 389 new jobs in exchange for about $4 million in incentives, mostly from the state, over 12 years.
To date, no payments have been made on the company’s Job Development Investment Grant, says David Rhoades, spokesperson for the North Carolina Commerce Department.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday urged the 30 member countries to commit to spending at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defense by a set date, as Russia’s war on Ukraine and other threats eat into military spending.
NATO allies agreed in 2014, after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, to halt the spending cuts they had made after the Cold War and move toward spending 2% of GDP on their defense budgets by 2024. That pledge expires next year, and NATO is working on a new target.
“What is obvious is that if it was right to commit to spend 2% in 2014, it is even more right now because we live in a more dangerous world,” Stoltenberg told reporters, after chairing a meeting of NATO defense ministers, where a first high-level discussion on the issue was held.
“There is a full-fledged war going on in in Ukraine, in Europe, and then we see the persistent threat of terrorism, and we see also the challenges that China is forcing to our security. So, it is obvious that we need to spend more,” he said.
NATO allies in Europe and Canada increased defense spending for the eighth consecutive year in 2022, adding around $350 billion to their budgets. According to NATO’s most recent estimates, 10 countries are close to or above the 2% guideline. Thirteen spend around 1.5% or less.
Several member countries insist that the figure was only ever a guideline, and not a hard target.
“Instead of changing the 2%, I think we should move from regarding the 2% as a ceiling to toward the 2% of GDP as a floor and minimum,” Stoltenberg said. He added that this should not be “a long-term perspective or move towards,” but rather “an immediate commitment to spend 2% as a minimum.”
The United States spends more on its defense budget than all the other allies combined, putting 3.47% of GDP into its military coffers, according to NATO estimates for last year. Some members have suggested that NATO should move toward a 2.5% guideline. Others say that’s unrealistic.
Many countries insist that it’s the quality of the equipment and the amount of contributions that allies make to NATO operations that is most important. GDP percentages are also a slippery metric. When economies tanked during the COVID-19 pandemic, defense budgets looked bigger.
The economy of Turkey — traditionally one of NATO’s biggest defense spenders — has been ravaged by inflation and its military budget only stood at 1.22% of GDP last year, according to NATO’s estimate.
NATO leaders are expected to map out the way ahead when they meet for their next summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in July.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Former North Carolina state Sen. Jerry Tillman, who served in the General Assembly for over 17 years with an emphasis on promoting school choice and tax relief, died Saturday at age 82.
Tillman, a Randolph County Republican, died at Camden Health and Rehabilitation in Greensboro from natural causes, Andrew Cumby with Cumby Family Funeral Service said Monday.
Tillman was a retired public schoolteacher, administrator and coach who was first elected to the Senate in 2002 after several years as Randolph’s GOP chair.
He rose to prominence in the second half of his legislative career as Republicans took control of the General Assembly. He served as a Senate majority whip, education budget writer and finance committee co-chair.
During his tenure, he worked to broaden access to public charter schools and pressed for income tax reductions. While second on the seniority list among then-Senate members, Tillman stepped down in late June 2020, citing age as a reason to retire.

Tillman, a Chatham County native, was an honorable-mention All-American while playing baseball at what is now Elon University. At the legislature, he was known for his homespun stories during committee meetings and floor sessions, and the occasional crooning.
Tillman “played a significant role in shaping the policies that made North Carolina the best state in the nation,” Senate leader Phil Berger said in a news release Monday. “Jerry was truly larger than life. He was never afraid to share his thoughts on a particular bill and would often lighten the mood by regaling us with tales about music, racing, and baseball.”
Tillman was preceded in death by his wife, Marian. Survivors include three children and several grandchildren.
His funeral will be at on Feb. 25.

How did the Banfield Freeway get its name? I tried Googling, but all I can find is stuff about Banfield Pet Hospital. Was there a Dr. Cyrus Q. Banfield back in the day who became famous as Portland’s first veterinarian? —Big Dog
Shortly after World War I, a young Army lieutenant colonel—some schmo named Dwight Eisenhower—decided to test our nation’s transportation infrastructure by leading a convoy of 81 motorized military vehicles from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. The trip took 62 days, a pace that suggests that, in 1919, it would have taken just over 111 hours to drive from Portland to Pendleton.
Maybe the real trip didn’t take quite that long, but it’s hard to overstate how sketchy to nonexistent the American highway system was in the first half of the 20th century. Even when someone built a road you could make decent time on, development would just spring up alongside it to slow traffic back to its usual crawl.
Plans for a modern-style, limited-access expressway (a new and radical concept at the time) through Sullivan’s Gulch began as early as 1926…but then came the Great Depression, and after that World War II. Before you know it, it’s the Atomic Age, and we’re still taking seven hours to drive to Troutdale. Embarrassing!
Finally, in 1947, the Oregon Legislature created the legal framework for controlled-access highways, and construction of what would become Interstate 84 began in earnest. Among those who shepherded the project to completion was its namesake, Thomas H. Banfield, chairman of the Oregon State Highway Commission and noted nonveterinarian. (The chain of pet hospitals took its name from the freeway near its first office.)
Did Banfield get his name on the expressway because his contributions to it towered head and shoulders above those of everyone else? He was a big part of the effort, no doubt—but his real master stroke was becoming gravely ill and retiring from the Highway Commission before a name had been settled on.
There’s nothing like imminent death to get folks to recognize your work, and the remaining commissioners duly voted to name the new road the T.H. Banfield Expressway on Aug. 22, 1950. Banfield himself would die just nine days later, but thanks to this honor his name will live forever. (Or at least until dogs learn not to eat chocolate.)

NEW PALESTINE, Ind. – A tip from a witness and a Speedy Rewards card helped police track down a suspect in a deadly May hit-and-run in Hancock County.
Timothy Merrill, 44, is charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, theft, leaving the scene of accident where the defendant has a prior conviction and leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury.
According to court documents, the crash happened around 8:15 a.m. on May 18 near the intersection of 600 West and U.S. 52.
Gerald Jensen was driving his wife, June, to a heart center appointment in Carmel when a silver SUV struck the back of their gold Chevy Equinox. The vehicle turned north on 600 West and drove off, Jensen said. He believed it was a Chevy Trailblazer.
He asked his wife if she was OK, to which she replied, “I think so.” But June Jensen became very quiet during the ride and didn’t act like herself, Gerald Jensen told investigators.
Once they arrived at the heart center in Carmel, Gerald helped his wife out of the car and noticed she was struggling more than normal, having apparently lost the ability to maintain her balance or walk.
The Jensens were immediately directed to the emergency room. June was given a CT scan and was diagnosed with a brain bleed. At 11:42 a.m., she was taken off life support and pronounced dead.
Prior to the crash, she’d shown no signs of a brain injury. A preliminary autopsy later found she’d died from blunt force trauma to the head after suffering a large contusion to her brain, according to court documents.
Photos of the Jensens’ Equinox showed it sustained heavy damage to the rear end. The back hatch had been pushed in above the rear bumper. Police also noticed silver paint on the Equinox’s body from the collision.
Police asked nearby businesses for surveillance footage, but none of the businesses had cameras that reached the intersection where it happened. In an appeal for help, the New Palestine Police Department mentioned the crash and a white or gray SUV with “heavy front end damage” in a May 19 Facebook post.
The next day, a woman who’d seen the Facebook post contacted police and said she’d witnessed the crash. She saw a vehicle matching the description pull out of a Speedway in front of her on U.S. 52. She described the driver’s behavior as erratic and said the vehicle appeared to be going 70 mph. At the intersection of 600 West and U.S. 52, the SUV came to a complete stop before jolting forward and hitting the vehicle in front of it, she said.
The witness said the silver SUV then went into reverse and headed north on 600 West. She followed the SUV for a time but couldn’t get the license plate number. She was certain the SUV was a silver, older model Chevrolet Trailblazer and believed it had an “In God We Trust” plate.
Now aware of the driver’s stop at the Speedway gas station on U.S. 52, police looked at surveillance footage from the store. The footage showed a silver Chevrolet Trailblazer had stopped for gas around 8:05 on the morning of the crash. The driver was a white male wearing “a tan/camouflage sweatshirt, black hat, black Nike tennis shoes with a white check-mark and glasses,” according to court documents.
The man bought coffee, some Dayquil caplets and cigarettes from inside the store. He’d also prepaid for $20 in gas using a debit card and his Speedy Rewards card. After pumping gas, the man grabbed a bag of ice without paying, police said.
Investigators showed a surveillance image of the Trailblazer to the witness, who was certain it was the same vehicle. As the crash had not yet happened when the footage was recorded, the Trailblazer had no visible damage.
Police used the debit card information as well as information from Speedway’s corporate office to identify the man as Timothy Merrill. His license inquiry from the BMV returned as “suspended infraction,” police said.
Investigators scoured Facebook to learn more about Merrill. They identified his wife and learned he owned a construction business. Pictures posted on the Facebook page for Merrill’s business showed him wearing the same clothing as the man seen on the Speedway surveillance footage. Another picture showed a Trailblazer matching the one from the surveillance video. The address for the business also matched the address of Merrill’s wife, according to court documents.
When police went to the address, they found a silver Chevrolet Trailblazer with front end damage that was visible from the road. Police obtained a search warrant on May 20 and discovered the Trailblazer had the wrong license plate on it; the plate instead went to a vehicle belonging to Merrill’s wife, police said. An “In God We Trust” plate—the one that actually belonged to the Trailblazer—was in the back seat of the SUV. Police had the vehicle towed as evidence.
Investigators said damage to the Trailblazer was consistent with damage to the back of the Equinox. “Duct tape had been recently placed on the front end of the Trailblazer,” police said, adding that silver spray paint had also been applied to the front bumper.
Police said they initially had trouble interviewing Merrill, who said he often worked out of state. Police described him as “uncooperative” throughout the process, according to court documents. Multiple meetings were scheduled with police only for them to be canceled.
Police did eventually find Merrill, who appeared via video in his initial hearing this week. He entered a plea of not guilty, with his next court appearance scheduled for next month.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A public monument representing the Italian-American immigrant experience was approved by the New Haven Board of Alders, replacing a Christopher Columbus statue that was removed in 2020 amid a climate of racial reckoning after the police killing of George Floyd.
The Wooster Square Monument Committee announced a new campaign on Tuesday to raise the estimated $300,000 needed to commission the sculpture and underwrite the total cost of the new monument. The Board of Alders vote was held Monday.
The committee, which held numerous public meetings on the project, estimates it will take about 18 months to raise the necessary funds and for the monument to be sculpted and installed. U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of New Haven is serving as honorary chair of the fundraising committee.
Designed by Branford artist Marc-Anthony Massaro, who grew up in the heavily Italian neighborhood around Wooster Square, the new sculpture will depict a young Italian family that has just arrived in the U.S. It is named “Indicando la via al futuro,” or “Pointing the way to the future,”
Columbus statues across country, as well as in Mexico, were removed amid widespread racial injustice protests that followed Floyd's killing. The New Haven Parks Commission decided to take down the 1892 statue after it was vandalized following Floyd's death.
Many residents demanded its removal, condemning the 15th-century Italian explorer as a white supremacist who touched off centuries of European oppression and the decimation of Indigenous peoples. Columbus supporters, meanwhile, called the statue an important symbol of Italian American heritage.
Demonstrators from both sides shouted at, shoved and briefly skirmished with each other when the statue was taken down. In June, a federal judge threw out a lawsuit filed by an Italian American group that wanted New Haven to bring back the Columbus statue, arguing its removal was discriminatory.

CASPER, Wyo. — The small western city of Casper, known for its cowboy culture and history as a stop along the Oregon trail, has a new spotlight cast on it.
It's being viewed now as a microcosm of the differing perspectives on reproductive health and choice, views that, for many, clash in a post-Roe America.
"On May 25th, the clinic was firebombed. Someone broke into the clinic at about 3:30 in the morning and set fire to the clinic," said Julie Burkhardt, founder of Wellsprings Health Services.
What Julie Burkhardt had been working to build represents one side of the fight. Her organization built this clinic, the first in conservative Wyoming, offering surgical abortions. A week before it was set to open earlier this year, it was set on fire.
"We're determined because we made a commitment to come into Wyoming and to provide reproductive health care services," she said.
Burkhardt is working on rebuilding, but there's a bigger hurdle standing in her way. Wyoming is one of 13 states with trigger bans, laws that ban abortion that were set to go into effect as soon as Roe was overturned.
However, at the moment, eight states have banned abortion, bans in five states are temporarily blocked by courts, and bans in Wyoming, Idaho, Tennessee and North Dakota, are pending legal reviews that could be finished any day.
"We're looking at potential litigation if that is certified but we're waiting to, to see what the state of Wyoming is going to do," she said.
As Burkhardt waits for Wyoming's to go into effect, she's worried about the resources available to those carrying a pregnancy to term.
"I don't feel that there are the resources and the mechanisms and those safety nets in place to help people," she said.
Across town is TrueCare Women's Resource Center, a faith-based medical clinic offering free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and connection to financial and other resources for those who choose to carry a pregnancy to term, is running off community donations. This is the other side.
Once the news dropped about Roe, executive director Jessica Baxter said they began thinking about a potential increase in clients.
"We had been preparing for that decision for a while and having the discussions. 'What will it look like? Will we be expecting more women to come through our doors? What will that mean for our staffing? What does that mean for our budget?'" she said.
Since the overturning of Roe, pregnancy care centers like TrueCare have also been in the spotlight, receiving scrutiny from pro-choice advocates, arguing their primary mission is to discourage abortions.
"I really believe that the greatest misconception about us is that somehow we're trying to coerce a woman into a decision. It's not what we do. It's not our goal," she said.
She says their mission is to educate about all options in an unwanted pregnancy and hopes that with the news about Roe comes a greater interest in the type of services they offer. She believes their network of resources and talking about options beyond abortions will be able to help more pregnant people.
"Our desire as an organization is that people would know that we care for the woman, her family, her, her significant other, and the baby that she's carrying. They're, they're all important to us, and so, we want to give her that information, that those options, that choice for herself," she said.
Two sides with different perspectives -- part of a discussion that will continue in this country.

CHICO — Fans dressed in an abundance of red, white and blue packed the grandstands around the 1/4 mile clay track of Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico for the annual 4th of July Showcase. Race fans arrived early, with children enjoying the new kids zone featuring shaved ice, a DJ and several bounce houses. Parents arrived early for happy hour at the new Farmers Brewing Company, packing lines full at the food stands and beer lines as soon as gates opened at 4 p.m. All fans patiently awaited the post-race fireworks show shown above the speedway.
On a wet track that featured 36 sprint cars, 23 hobby stocks and 14 B-modified cars competing, there were seven yellow flags and one red flag in the first 27 laps. Casey Schmidt in the No. 3C car was in first place for the entirety of the 360-sprint car main event, winning his first-ever race in a sprint car in Chico. The No. 75 car of Tony Gomes, who finished first in qualifying with a single lap time of 12.021, was second, followed by Kyle Hirst.
Travis Moore won the hobby stocks main event after a pass with two laps to go and Philip Shelby won the B-modified main event. Moore crossed the finish line, stood on top of his car and saluted the crowd as his engine blew smoke from nearly exploding. Engine oil leaked on the track and delayed the fireworks show.
The Fourth of July race was a family affair for many at the racetrack, fans and staff alike and the first under new promoters Brad Sweet, Kyle Larson and Colby Copeland, who together make up SLC Promotions.
Dedicated race fans who have attended races for 20-plus years were in attendance. Fans who had never attended a race before packed the grandstands for their first time and Monday marked the first time Sweet, Larson and Copeland were all in attendance at a race together.
Copeland has managed the day-to-day operations at the speedway, with Sweet and Larson collecting sponsorship opportunities with their weekends occupied. Track announcer Troy Hennig, who announced his 23rd Fourth of July race in Chico on Monday, said SLC Promotions has had a special effort to engage the community through advertising, through the new kids zone and allowing military with an active military ID in for free.
“We’re trying to entertain people not by just the races, but when you come to an event you leave and can say the races were OK but that entire event was cool,” Hennig said. “Back in the day you could come and watch the race, watch the fireworks and leave, but now we’re adding this whole new nuance and giving people this whole new wow factor.”
Hennig saw the crowd was one of the largest he has seen in 23 years at the track, but an official number would not be known for several days. He also said the car count of 36 was very large and many had to triple park in the pit area.
“We’ve never had to do that before on July 4th,” Hennig said. “There’s an excitement in the air that I haven’t felt in a long time before.”
With Fourth of July coming on a Monday in 2022, Sweet and Larson saw it as a perfect opportunity to see what Copeland and his team have done.
“With my schedule it’s impossible for me to get here on weekends, so with the fourth on a Monday it was a nice opportunity for me to get out here and see how everything works and say thanks to the people who really help out,” Larson said. “I’m sure there’s a lot of people who this may be their first time seeing sprint car races in person, so it’s a good opportunity to open peoples’ eyes to some exciting stuff and enjoy time with your family as well. There’s a lot of young kids out there, so it’s just awesome to see.”
Larson took a redeye flight Sunday night after racing in Road America in Plymouth, Wisconsin on Sunday and woke up at 9 a.m. Monday morning to begin work in Chico. He helped pour beer and sign autographs for fans from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. during happy hour, before making stops in the concession booth, novelty booth and an on-track interview prior to the start of the races.
“It’s been honestly non-stop ever since,” Larson said. “When you’re in the pit area you don’t really notice it, it’s pretty relaxing. You get on the other side of it and it’s just crazy. Lots of moving parts, but it’s fun to see it. I think it gives you just an appreciation of how everything works.”
Chelsie Martin and Paul Olmsted are dedicated race fans who attend nearly every race in Chico and have for the last 20 years. Martin, 39, has been attending races since she was four years old.
“It’s just a fun place, we feel safe here,” Martin said.
Olmsted called it a race family, and said with SLC Promotions taking over it is like year one.
“The fireworks are always good. It’s always just a good memory,” Olmsted said.
Racing at Silver Dollar Speedway will continue on August 26 for Back to School Kids Bike Night. 360-sprint cars, B modified, hobby stocks and lightning sprints will compete, in addition to kids riding the track on their own bikes.

HUNTINGTON, WV (WOWK)—A woman was arrested after police say she left a baby in a car outside a bar in Huntington and then fled from police.
According to a criminal complaint, Huntington Police responded to a bar on the 800 block of 4th Ave. after dispatchers received a tip that a baby was alone in a car outside.
25-year-old Tori Lycans told officers that the car did not belong to her, but then she entered the car on the passenger side, climbed over into the driver’s side, and drove away, the criminal complaint said.
Officers chased Lycans as she drove at a high rate of speed until she crashed her vehicle into a light pole near 20 1/2 St. and Norway Ave., according to the complaint. Lycans was detained and placed in the back of a police vehicle where she proceeded to bang her head on and kick the door, the complaint said. She also allegedly tried to step out of the vehicle and kick an officer multiple times. The complaint said she also kneed the officer in the face.
Lycans’ child was in the backseat of the vehicle during the chase, and his car seat was not buckled in, according to the complaint.
The complaint said that once Lycans was taken to HPD headquarters, she continued to hit her head on the wall and floor of the booking room. Officers performed field sobriety tests, and Lycans’ BAC was 0.120. She showed signs of impairment and was transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital to be cleared for jail.
Lycans is charged with obstructing an officer, driving with a revoked license, battery on a governmental representative, child neglect creating risk of injury, and driving under the influence.
Her bond was set at $51,000 surety/cash, and she is being held at Western Regional Jail.

- New BCG Research Assesses the Topics Most Relevant to Compliance Arms in the Face of Ever-Evolving Risks
- Cybersecurity Ranks as the Top Key Topic for Compliance Organizations, Followed by Business Ethics, Digitization and Data Analytics, ESG, and Sanctions/Trade Compliance
BOSTON, Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global regulatory environment has intensified, with sanctions and enforcement measures tightening amid rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Compliance organizations must undergo significant transformations to keep pace with diverse and evolving compliance risks, according to a new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
Based on a survey of 250 compliance professionals from around the world, BCG's second annual Global ESG, Compliance, and Risk Report found that cybersecurity was deemed the most relevant key topic for today's compliance organizations, followed by business ethics; digitization and data analytics; environmental, social, and governance (ESG) adherence; and sanctions/trade compliance.
"In this increasingly complex world, simply writing policy guidelines and instructing employees to follow the rules will not be enough to stay ahead of the game," said Katharina Hefter, a BCG managing director and partner and coauthor of the report. "Companies that effectively overhaul their compliance operations now will create maximum value for their respective organizations in the face of future shocks."
Seven Key Topics for Compliance Strategy
The report revealed the following trends:
- Cybersecurity takes precedence: When asked which key topic was most relevant for their compliance organizations, 62% of respondents cited cybersecurity—10 percentage points more than business ethics, the next most cited topic. Over 70% of respondents (73%) said they are already well- or very well-positioned to improve performance in this area.
- Geopolitics rises on the agenda: As the sanctions landscape becomes more complex and dynamic, this year's survey revealed sanctions and trade compliance now ranks among the top five key topics for compliance organizations—a jump of 15 places since 2021. Survey participants also ranked geopolitical tensions as a key topic for the first time, ranking 11th out of 19 topics overall.
- Digitization hits a roadblock: Although survey respondents cited digitization and data analytics as the third most relevant key topic for compliance arms, 52% said their organization has not advanced very far in its digital journey. Nearly a quarter (24%) admitted they're dealing with the development of digital compliance strategy either poorly or very poorly.
- Regulations push ESG to the forefront: Authorities worldwide have issued more than 170 new or amended ESG regulations since 2018. Among the survey respondents, 43% ranked ESG as a top-five key topic and 79% reported that their commitment to ESG has intensified over the past two years. Approximately three-fifths of respondents (58%) said regulators are having the greatest impact on their ESG efforts.
- Compliance mandates set the tone: Against a background of diverse risks and rising uncertainties, clarifying the compliance mandate and the role of the compliance arm for different types of risk is critical. For example, only around half to two-thirds of organizations surveyed said key ESG-related topics were included in their compliance mandates—despite ESG's growing prominence.
- Business ethics remains a priority: More than half (52%) of respondents—regardless of industry, region, or maturity stage—included business ethics among the top five key topics most relevant to their compliance organizations.
- Attracting the right talent is a growing concern: When asked about the challenges they foresaw for their compliance organizations, 68% of respondents pointed to "attracting talent" as the top challenge within the workforce key topic—more than 20 percentage points higher than the second most cited option.
"The past year has shone a new light on the crucial role of compliance. Every company needs a strategy, not just to manage current risks, but also to adapt quickly as circumstances, rules, and regulations develop," said Julia Gebhardt, a BCG managing director and partner and coauthor of the report. "Those that build and integrate all-encompassing compliance strategies, incorporating each of the key topics outlined in the report, will gain sustainable competitive advantage, attract and retain talent, and enhance their reputation for acting responsibly in a challenging business environment."

Oklahoma shooting highlights vulnerability of hospitals
TULSA, Okla. - Hospitals, like schools, are not typically designed to guard against the threat of a determined gunman entering the building to take lives.
The vulnerability of health care facilities was highlighted by a shooter who killed four people and then himself Wednesday at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The assailant got inside a building on the Saint Francis Hospital campus with little trouble, just hours after buying an AR-style rifle, authorities said.
Here’s a look at what's known about security at the Tulsa facility and other American hospitals:
DID THE GUNMAN HAVE TO PASS THROUGH SECURITY?
No, the 45-year-old man identified as the shooter, Michael Louis, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, parked his car in an adjoining garage, then went through unlocked doors into the medical building, authorities said.
Police guard the entrance to the Natalie Building at the Saint Francis Hospital on June 2, 2022 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A gunman killed four people in a mass shooting at the Natalie Medical Building on the hospital's campus yesterday. The shooter is also
"It is an entry that is open to the public," Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin told reporters Thursday. "He was able to walk in without any type of challenge."
RELATED: Tulsa hospital shooter targeted surgeon he blamed for pain, police say
It was a short walk from that entrance to the office area where Louis fatally shot his primary target, Dr. Preston Phillips. Police said Phillips recently performed surgery on Louis and that Louis blamed the doctor for chronic pain he still suffered.
Once Louis got in, "he began firing at anyone who was in his way," Franklin said. At least one person holding a door open for others to escape was killed.
COULD BETTER SECURITY HAVE STOPPED THE SHOOTER?
The president and CEO of Saint Francis Health System said nothing can stop somebody with guns "hellbent on causing harm."
Dr. Cliff Robertson did not provide details about hospital security. He said the facility has procedures to deal with "difficult, unhappy patients," though he did not elaborate.
RELATED: Oklahoma hospital shooting: 4 people killed, suspect dead, Tulsa police say
Hospital officials planned to review their security procedures in the days ahead. There "will be a thousand questions" to answer regarding the shooting, Robertson said.
From official accounts, the reaction time of officers could not have been much better. Wendell said officers responded to the shooting within minutes and that the shooter apparently killed himself as police approached.
IS IT STANDARD FOR HOSPITALS TO LEAVE SOME ENTRYWAYS OPEN?
Yes, because some urgent medical situations require patients to be moved quickly. But some hospitals, especially ones that have dealt with violence on their grounds, have upgraded security in recent years.
Mercy Hospital in Chicago beefed up security after a 2019 attack in which a man fatally shot an attending physician who was his ex-fiance in the parking lot. He then entered the hospital, where he shot and killed a pharmacy resident and a police officer before he was fatally shot himself.
Now security officers are stationed at every entrance, and the hospital has a system that electronically notifies employees of any armed intruders.
HOW COMMON ARE SHOOTINGS AT HOSPITALS?
From 2000 to 2011, there were 154 hospital-related shootings, according to a 2017 guide from the International Association of Emergency Medical Services Chiefs that cited the Annals of Emergency Medicine.
Nearly 60 percent of those shootings were inside hospitals, and around 40 were outside on hospital grounds, the guide said.
The attacks resulted in 235 people wounded or killed, according to the guide, which also cited data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that indicated violence is four times more likely in health care than in other industries.
WHAT ARE SOME UNIQUE CHALLENGES FOR HOSPITALS?
Some patients have limited mobility, and many staff members are obligated to stay with them in dangerous situations, sometimes making quick evacuations impossible.
Also, hospital buildings are often labyrinths, with many doors that lead to more doors. The Tulsa police chief said that was the case in the shooting on Wednesday, when the building's vastness created echoes, which made it harder for officers and others inside to know precisely where the gunshots were coming from.
WHAT ELSE HAVE HOSPITALS DONE TO IMPROVE SECURITY?
Even before the 2019 shooting at Chicago Mercy, the hospital had begun training employees about what to do during an active gunman situation. That included instructions on retreating into rooms, locking doors and turning out lights.
Training sessions at the hospital that were held annually before the 2019 shooting are now held four times a year, said Paul Stewart, a spokesman for the hospital, which is now called Insight Hospital and Medical Center.
Out of concern about people entering with guns, some hospitals have also installed metal detectors. At Chicago's UI Health, which is affiliated with the University of Illinois, metal detectors were installed in the emergency room, though not nearly as many as nurses and other health care workers asked for.
Nurses complain that patients entering with guns are far too common.

"They did that after someone brought in a semi-automatic weapon and was actually making a video on his phone about how he was going to kill nurses," said Paul Pater, a nurse at the hospital.

The current sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro bows out with the 2024 model year, and while Chevy hasn’t announced a retirement of the nameplate, there isn’t a direct successor in sight.
To mark the end of the current car’s run, Chevy will celebrate with a special Collector’s Edition package available on the 1LT, LT1, SS, and ZL1 grades. The package doesn’t bring any performance to the table but focuses on enhancing the style of the Camaro.
For the 1LT, LT1, and SS grades, the package adds a unique black paint finish called Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat. The Panther name is a reference to the Camaro’s original code name used during the early development days in the 1960s, and at one point was considered for the final name of the car.
“We found it fitting for this Collector’s Edition Camaro to officially recognize the significance of the original code name and share it with Camaro enthusiasts,” Rich Scheer, Chevrolet Performance’s design director, said in a statement.
Also included in the Collector’s Edition package are satin black accent stripes, 20-inch wheels, a front splitter borrowed from the 1LE package, and a rear spoiler (coupe only) borrowed from the ZL1 grade.
For the Camaro ZL1, the Collector’s Edition package brings the same Panther Black paint but with a unique matte finish. The package will also add the front splitter and rear wing (coupe only) from the hardcore ZL1 1LE, a black metallic stripe and red brake calipers. The ZL1 Collector’s Edition will also be limited to 350 units, and each will feature a serialized steering wheel badge.
All Collector’s Edition cars will also come with custom badging on the outside, custom floor mats, and a welcome kit with posters and a matching watch from Shinola.
The prices for the package are $4,995 for the 1LT, which also requires the $1,950 RS package; $5,495 for the LT1, which requires the $1,495 RS package; $5,995 for the 1SS, and $14,995 for the ZL1. That brings the total prices for Camaros with the Collector’s Edition package to $39,440 for the 1LT, $47,385 for the LT1, $49,890 for the SS, and $88,690 for the ZL1. The prices include destination but the gas-guzzler tax is excluded from the ZL1’s price.

2 indicted for yearslong global human smuggling outfit along AZ-Mexico border
Two people were arrested for their suspected role in a yearslong human smuggling operation that spanned the globe and culminated along the Arizona-Mexico border near Yuma.
Ofelia Hernandez-Salas, 60, and co-conspirator Raul Saucedo-Huipio, 48, were arrested in Mexico at the request of the United States and under previously sealed charges that were filed in Arizona in 2021.
The pair was arrested last week. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials declined to say exactly what day. The motion to unseal their indictment was filed March 17.
The pair is suspected of picking up migrants at a bus station in Mexicali, Baja California, and housing and feeding them before taking them to the nearby U.S.-Mexico border, according to the indictment document.
The pair are suspected of charging migrants tens of thousands of dollars to make the arduous and perilous journey to the U.S.-Mexico border from all over the world. The pair are suspected of oftentimes robbing migrants of their money, cell phones and personal belongings at knife and gunpoint, court documents show.
The pair are believed to have worked with other smugglers to facilitate the travel of large numbers of migrants from and through Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, Eritrea, India, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico into the United States, court documents say.
“Investigating human smuggling is nothing new for HSI special agents in Arizona, but this case and subsequent arrests abroad stands out as one that was made possible by the unwavering commitment of our law enforcement partners like the U.S. Border Patrol,” Scott Brown, special agent in charge for ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations Arizona, said in a written statement.
Hernandez-Salas and Saucedo-Huipio were charged with one count of conspiracy to bring an undocumented migrant into the U.S. and 22 counts of bringing an undocumented migrant into the U.S. and aiding and abetting.
“Once again we see that international cooperation is far more important to a border strategy than physical barriers,” Gary Restaino, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, said in a written statement.
“These defendants allegedly conspired to flout America’s immigration laws and to victimize the very migrants they were purporting to help.”
Migrant smuggling has transformed into a multibillion-dollar enterprise for smugglers and organized crime organizations over the past decade.
'Boom of opportunities':How smugglers, Mexican cartels profit from US border restrictions
U.S. policies and border restrictions, which have forced some asylum-seeking migrants to wait in Mexico for years, have boosted significantly the lucrative profits of cartels and smugglers.
The area near the Morelos Dam near Yuma once was a frequent crossing point for large groups of migrants. Border Patrol agents in December every day saw about 800 people to 1,000 people bypass the end of the border wall and present themselves to seek asylum.
Migrants typically would fly to Mexicali before being taken in a bus or taxi for the hour-long ride and dropped off at the highway within walking distance of the border near Yuma.
In exchange for their smuggling efforts, Hernandez-Salas and Saucedo-Huipio arranged to be paid on at least four different continents, court documents show. The pair was paid in Mexico, Central America, South America, Asia and Africa among other places, court documents show.
The pair either gave migrants a ladder to climb over the border wall, a plank for them to walk over a waterway or directed them to go through a hole under the wall. The migrants crossed into the U.S. before being apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
The pair began participating in the smuggling organization in January 2019, according to court documents.
AZ smuggling law:New Arizona law makes it easier for law enforcement to go after human smugglers
Interpol Mexico and Baja California state security forces arrested Hernandez-Salas and Saucedo-Huipio. The indictments and arrests against the pair were coordinated under Joint Task Force Alpha, or JTFA, a group focused on dismantling human smuggling networks in Mexico and Central America.
“The indictment and arrests of human smugglers send a stark message that the Department of Justice will not rest until all those who feed on the desperation of others are brought to justice,” Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite Jr. of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division said in the written news release.
HSI's Yuma office is investigating the case with assistance from numerous other federal and international agencies.
Lisa Jennis, assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, is prosecuting the case alongside JTFA co-director James Hepburn and trial attorney Patrick Jasperse of the Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section.

Girl, 6, killed when police chase ends in crash
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - A 6-year-old Minnesota girl died and four other bystanders were injured after the police chase of a wanted murder suspect ended in a car crash. The suspect was also injured.
Terri Foss says police investigators knocked on her door April 7 with the news her son, Devan Dampier, had been shot and killed. The 29-year-old father of two had a third child just about a month away.
“Devan was a loving, caring person,” Foss said. “He was an amazing father, and now his children won’t be able to – he won’t be able to be part of their lives.”
Hakeem Waheed Muhammad, 28, was charged Monday for Dampier’s murder. Documents show at that time, the state asked for a warrant, and the suspect’s location was unknown.
It was Muhammad, Foss says, that led police on a chase through Brooklyn Center on Friday before crashing into a car of five bystanders, killing 6-year-old Blessings McLurain-Gray.
Police say during the chase, the suspect was driving 70 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone.
“He was reckless. He didn’t care about anybody else, any family, just anybody. He was just trying to get away and not have to deal with the consequences of his actions,” Foss said.
A 15-year-old girl remains hospitalized following the crash, but the others injured have been treated and released.
Foss says her heart is now grieving for another family.
“Looking at the wreckage was just kind of disbelief of what had really happened and that somebody else now, their family, was impacted by his recklessness. We hurt for them. It was so senseless,” she said.
Muhammad is listed as booked into Hennepin County Jail but is still receiving medical care, confirms a release from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, who is investigating the incident.

HONG KONG (AP) — Police in Hong Kong filed murder charges against the former in-laws of a model and influencer whose body parts were found in a refrigerator and a skull believed to be hers in a pot at a rural house.
Hong Kong model Abby Choi’s former father-in-law and his eldest son were charged with murder, while her former mother-in-law faces one count of perverting the course of justice, police said in a statement Sunday.
Authorities also arrested the woman’s ex-husband on Saturday and will charge him with murder on Sunday night, said Superintendent Alan Chung. The four will appear in court on Monday.
The grisly case came to light when police on Friday discovered Choi’s body and documents after she had been missing for several days. The body was dissected and the remains stored in a refrigerator in the rural village home in Tai Po, a suburban part of Hong Kong closer to the border with mainland China.
At Sunday’s news briefing, Chung said authorities found a young woman’s skull believed to belong to Choi in one of the cooking pots they seized, alongside several ribs, hair, and human issues. In another pot, forensic pathologists also discovered a small number of human bones, he added.
“There’s a hole on the right side rear on the skull, so the pathologist believes that that should be the fatal attack on the victim,” he said.
Chung said Choi was believed to have been attacked in a car and was unconscious when she arrived at the house. Police were still trying to find out the exact time of death and locate her hands and torso.
On Sunday, police also arrested another woman they believed to be the mistress of the ex-husband’s father for allegedly assisting the other suspects. Chung said she had rented the house together with the father, as well as another place to hide the ex-husband.
Choi, 28, had financial disputes involving tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars with her ex-husband and his family, Chung said earlier, adding that “some people” were unhappy with how Choi handled her financial assets.
Choi was a model and influencer who shared her glamorous life of photo shoots and fashion shows with more than 100,000 followers. Dressed in a tulle floor-length gown, she had just attended a Dior show at Paris Fashion Week.
Her last post was a week ago, featuring a photoshoot she had done with L’Officiel Monaco, a fashion publication.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Josh Rojas and Corbin Carroll hit back-to-back home runs in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 Wednesday to close out the season.
Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes also crossed the 200-inning threshold for the first time. The reigning NL Cy Young winner worked three perfect innings and fanned five to finish with a career-high 243 strikeouts. Burnes became the first Brewers pitcher to lead the league in strikeouts.
Arizona starter Merrill Kelly struck out seven over six innings as he surpassed the 200-inning mark for the first time in his career. He allowed one run and four hits.
Rowdy Tellez hit his team-leading 35th home run, breaking a 1-1 tie with a solo drive in the Milwaukee eighth off Sean Poppen (2-2).
Christian Walker led off the Arizona ninth with his third hit and Rojas homered off Trevor Gott (3-3). Carroll followed with his fourth homer of the season.
Kevin Ginkel worked a perfect ninth for his first save.
After losing 110 games to tie Baltimore for baseball’s worst record a year ago, the Diamondbacks improved to 73-88 in 2022.
Milwaukee finished 87-75, down from 95-67 last season, when the Brewers won the NL Central before falling to the eventual World Series champion Braves in the NL Division Series.
FINAL TALLY
The Brewers drew 18,765 to their regular-season finale and finished the year with a total attendance of 2,422,460, a significant drop from the 2,923,333 fans who came through the turnstiles in 2019, the last season before COVID-19 restrictions. It was the lowest season attendance for Milwaukee since it drew 2,314,614 in 2016.
UP NEXT
With neither team advancing to the postseason, they’ll return to game action on Feb. 25 when the Brewers host the Dodgers in spring training and Diamondbacks face the Rockies to open Cactus League play in Arizona.

(The Center Square) – Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer, when Chicago violence traditionally escalates. To head off violence and prevent potential crises, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Human Services are sending out a team of peacekeepers.
The Citywide Crisis Prevention & Response Unit is made up of 30-plus trained neighborhood “Peacekeepers” and street outreach partners, IDHS spokesperson Marisa Kollias said.
“The Chicagoland area is widely known to, unfortunately, see more violence kind of at the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. And so this is a strategy aimed at keeping the peace,” Kollias told the The Center Square.
In a news release announcing the program’s launch, the governor said that the new CPRU effort is a community-based approach with the potential to have a high impact.
The origin of the unit goes back to 2018, when the city initiated the Flat Lining Violence Inspires Peace model, a program run by the Office of Firearm Violence Prevention, Kollias said. FLIP provides stipends to residents of high-risk neighborhoods and trains them to be proactive when tense situations develop.
The program members work with community-based organizations and city and state agencies to provide violence prevention and crisis support across Chicago, Kollias said. The presence of trusted and recognizable community members in hot spots of violent episodes has the potential to de-escalate volatile incidents before they get out of hand.
“We have seen phenomenal results through anti-violence programs previously so this is a newer effort we are activating over the weekend,” she said.
The program costs Illinois taxpayers $700,000.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a news release that the peacekeepers bring “valuable insight and knowledge that allows the city to reduce conflict before it escalates.” Pritzker said the effort is a “researched-based, community-focused” approach to help keep communities safe.
The peacekeepers are trained to engage with community members who are most at risk, Kollias said. In addition to their conflict and crisis response duties, CPRU staff will provide additional neighborhood-based work.
“By investing in holistic anti-violence strategies and partnering with local organizations, we are reimagining public safety and empowering neighborhoods in Chicago’s most at-risk communities,” IDHS Secretary Grace B. Hou said.
The Reimagine Public Safety Act was implemented in fiscal 2022 to fund targeted investments in violence prevention services in Chicago’s high-risk neighborhoods. Some of the investments include tutoring services, recreation opportunities, engagement with positive adult mentors and cultural and artistic programs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone “did not contradict” testimony of previous witnesses as he appeared Friday before the Jan. 6 committee, a grueling daylong private session that produced new information to be divulged in future public hearings, one lawmaker said.
Cipollone was a highly sought-after witness, especially after bombshell testimony that he tried to prevent Donald Trump from challenging the 2020 election results and worked to stop the defeated president from joining the violent mob that laid siege to the Capitol, they said.
“He did not contradict the testimony of other witnesses,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said late Friday on CNN.
Lofgren, a committee member, clarified that “not contradicting is not the same as confirming.” In some cases the former White House lawyer was not present for the events described or “couldn’t recall with precision” some details, she said.
“He was candid with the committee, he was careful in his answers,” said Lofgren. “And I think we did learn a few things, which we will be rolling out in the hearings to come.“
Cipollone’s central role came into focus during a surprise committee hearing last week when former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described his repeated efforts to stop Trump from joining the mob at the Capitol.
In a stunning public hearing, Hutchinson testified that Cipollone warned her that Trump would be charged with “every crime imaginable” if the defeated president went to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, trying to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election.
Hutchinson said Cipollone urged her to persuade her boss, chief of staff Mark Meadows, not to let Trump go to the Capitol.
Hutchinson testified that she was told Trump was irate when he was ultimately prevented by his security team from going to the Capitol that day. The Secret Service has disputed parts of her account detailing Trump’s actions when she said he lashed out at the driver in the presidential motorcade.
At another key juncture, Cipollone was also part of a meeting on the Sunday before Jan. 6 with Justice Department officials at the White House threatening to resign if Trump went ahead with plans to install a new acting attorney general who would pursue his false claims of voter fraud.
During that meeting Cipollone referred to a letter that Jeffrey Clark, the attorney Trump wanted to install as head of the Justice Department, had proposed sending to Georgia and other battleground states challenging their election results as a “murder-suicide pact,” according to previous testimony before the panel.
Cipollone and his lawyer, Michael Purpura, who also worked at the Trump White House, did not respond to requests for comment.
Once a staunch presidential confidant who had defended Trump during his first impeachment trial, Cipollone had been reluctant to appear formally for an on-the-record interview. Like other former White House officials, it is possible he claimed his counsel to the Republican president as privileged information he was unwilling to share with the committee.
Cipollone appeared for some eight hours before the panel and its investigators. Cipollone was subpoenaed for his testimony, but Lofgren said he appeared voluntarily.
“A grueling day,” she said. “But it was well worth it.”
Earlier this week, Trump responded to news of Cipollone’s cooperation on his social media platform, Truth Social, calling it bad for the country.
“Why would a future President of the United States want to have candid and important conversations with his White House Counsel if he thought there was even a small chance that this person, essentially acting as a ‘lawyer’ for the Country, may someday be brought before a partisan and openly hostile Committee in Congress,” the former president said.
The panel said Cipollone is “uniquely positioned to testify” in a letter accompanying the subpoena issued last week.
“Mr. Cipollone repeatedly raised legal and other concerns about President Trump’s activities on January 6th and in the days that preceded,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement. “While the Select Committee appreciates Mr. Cipollone’s earlier informal engagement with our investigation, the committee needs to hear from him on the record, as other former White House counsels have done in other congressional investigations.”

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Six soldiers were killed in a shootout with militants in a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban near the border with Afghanistan, the military said Thursday.
According to a military statement, the exchange took place in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of North Waziristan, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups. Six soldiers were “martyred” and three militants were killed, the military said.
The statement provided no further details, and it was unclear who the assailants were or whether they suffered any casualties. The outlawed Pakistani Taliban, who are known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, have a strong presence in North Waziristan and elsewhere in the region.
TTP is allied with the Afghan Taliban. The 2021 Afghan Taliban takeover has emboldened the insurgents, who have stepped up attacks since then. The military in recent weeks has also carried out multiple raids on militant hideouts in the northwest, killing and arresting dozens of insurgents.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Canopy NWA has welcomed more than 500 refugees since forming in 2016. In 2023 alone, it will help 150 refugees start a new life in Northwest Arkansas. People like Sasha Honchanko, who came to the United States as a refugee from Ukraine one year ago.
"We are a strong nation. We are winning. Which is amazing, and ... we can show Russia that they're not the leaders of our country. We want to grow [and become] an independent country. We want to grow in our freedom and decide our future,” said Sasha Honchanko, a Ukrainian refugee.
Honchanko got married just before the war started. He and his wife were out of the country on their honeymoon and they came to Northwest Arkansas because his wife is American and her parents live here. They haven't been back to Ukraine since. Now Honchanko is an employment specialist aid for Canopy NWA, helping people in the situation he was in just a year ago.
"Now we can represent ourselves and other refugees ... who really need support and need to be seen,” said Honchanko.
Thomas Fahn is originally from the Republic of Liberia. He first came to Colorado as an international student but because of the civil war in Liberia, he was given refugee status. After traveling to his home country he came to Arkansas with his family in 2020.
"This is a country where if you want to do something, you can. There are opportunities here. If you want to be a doctor, you can be a doctor. I'm very grateful for God and the people of America,” said Fahn.
Fahn also helps other refugees at Canopy NWA.
"Giving somebody opportunities, and providing someone from another country with assistance is a huge, huge piece of work that requires the support of everyone,” said Fahn.
Canopy NWA is always looking for people to volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering, visit this link to learn more.

Atlanta finally passed the New York Mets — then the Braves ran into their mirror image from the American League.
That would be the Seattle Mariners, who took two of three from the Braves and are 50-22 in their last 72 games. Atlanta has played at an even better clip, going 64-26 since the start of June. That helped the Braves erase a 10 1/2-game deficit in the NL East, even though the first-place Mets never played all that badly.
Atlanta moved a half-game ahead of New York when it won the opener of its series in Seattle on Friday night, but now the Braves trail by 1 1/2 games after a wild finish Sunday. Atlanta scored five runs in the top of the ninth to take a one-run lead, only for Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suarez to hit solo homers in the bottom half for an 8-7 Seattle victory.
The Mariners are closing in on their first postseason appearance since 2001. The Braves are trying to defend the World Series title they won last year. The race atop the NL East is starting to resemble another famous one involving Atlanta — from the NL West in 1993.
That year, San Francisco was 10 games ahead of the Braves in late July, then went 38-27 the rest of the way. It somehow wasn’t enough. Atlanta closed on a 49-16 tear to win the division, 104 victories to 103.
That was the final postseason before wild cards, so the Giants were left out of the playoffs entirely. The Mets and Braves don’t have to worry about that this year, barring a massive collapse. But the winner in this NL East chase — in which both teams are on pace for at least 100 wins — would probably end up with a bye into the Division Series. That’s no small thing.
The Mets now hold an unusual distinction as the team that posted the best record while blowing a double-digit lead in their division, according to Sportradar. New York led by 10 1/2 games at the start of June, then went 51-34 — for a .600 winning percentage — before being caught by the Braves for the first time last Tuesday.
In 1993, the Giants built their 10-game lead and then went 24-20 (.545) before the Braves first caught up to them.
THAT TIME OF YEAR
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who are an incredible 59-20 in their last 79 games, didn’t quite clinch a postseason berth on Sunday as thought; their clubhouse celebration was a bit premature. They could become the first team in the majors to officially seal a postseason spot with a win Monday night at Arizona. Their magic number to wrap up the NL West is down to two.
The next-lowest magic number to win a division belongs to Houston at 11 in the AL West. But as well as Seattle is playing, that could still take a little while.
TRIVIA TIME
In 1993, Atlanta and San Francisco had a combined four 20-game winners. Who were they?
LINE OF THE WEEK
There’s a bit more separation in the American League wild-card race now. Toronto saw to that by taking three of four at Baltimore. The Blue Jays now lead the Orioles by 5 1/2 games for the third wild card.
Toronto started that series with a doubleheader sweep Monday, and Bo Bichette homered three times in the second game. He had six hits and seven RBIs in the doubleheader.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
The St. Louis Cardinals scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Washington 6-5 on Wednesday night. The winning hit came with two out when Tommy Edman’s drive to left field bounced off outfielder Alex Call’s glove, allowing both runners on base to score.
It was the first time this season a team won after trailing by four or more runs entering the ninth. While the Nationals were batting in the top of the ninth, the St. Louis win probability dipped to 1.1%, according to Baseball Savant.
Honorable Mention: The Cardinals weren’t done with big comebacks. On Sunday, they scored four in the ninth to erase a two-run deficit and went on to beat Pittsburgh 4-3. Albert Pujols put St. Louis ahead to stay with a two-run homer — the 697th of his career, moving him past Alex Rodriguez and into sole possession of fourth place on the career list.
On Tuesday night, Colorado came back from a 6-1 deficit and beat Milwaukee 10-7 in 10 innings.
TRIVIA ANSWER
Tom Glavine (22-6) and Greg Maddux (20-10) for the Braves, and John Burkett (22-7) and Bill Swift (21-8) for the Giants.

Plane caught in power lines after crash, 2 occupants unhurt
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — A small plane carrying two people got stuck in live power lines Sunday evening in Maryland, causing widespread power outages in the surrounding county as officials tried to extricate the aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the single-engine plane, which had departed White Plains, N.Y., crashed into the power lines near Montgomery County Airpark in Gaithersburg around 5:40 p.m. Sunday. The FAA said two people were aboard.
Pete Piringer, chief spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service, said on Twitter that the people on board are uninjured and that rescuers had been in contact with them. He had at one point said in a video message that three people were on the plane but later clarified that it was two.
The FAA identified the plane as a Mooney M20J.
The video showed a small white plane positioned nose up near a power tower. A local television station’s live video showed the plane remained stuck in the transmission tower after 8 p.m.
The plane was stuck about 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground, and the transmission lines remained live, complicating rescue efforts, Piringer said.
“Everything is still energized at this time,” he said.
The utility Pepco reported that about 80,000 customers were without power in Montgomery County. Piringer said that many traffic lights were also out in the area. The utility said in a statement that its personnel were waiting for rescuers to clear them to enter the scene before they can make repairs at the site of the crash.
The crash took place in Gaithersburg, a city of 69,000 people about 24 miles (39 kilometers) northwest of Washington, D.C.
The cause of the crash wasn’t immediately clear. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate what happened.

US man accused of abducting, sexually abusing Canadian girl
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say an Oregon man is accused of abducting a Canadian child he met online, taking her across the border in his vehicle’s trunk and sexually abusing her.

Access to health care for Native Americans and Alaska Natives will be bolstered with funding included in a massive government spending bill awaiting President Joe Biden’s signature.
The U.S. House passed the measure Friday, avoiding a government shutdown and providing more certainty for a federal agency that delivers health care to more than 2.5 million people.
A coalition of lawmakers from Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, California and elsewhere fought to include advanced appropriations for the Indian Health Service in the bill, marking a first for the chronically underfunded agency as a way to ensure that services continue in case of potential funding disruptions.

With the legislation, IHS joins other federal health care programs that receive advance funding, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Health Administration.
"This will ensure that patients are not subject to the uncertainty of the government funding process, saving lives and creating stronger, healthier communities,” Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kan., said in a statement. “Along with increased funding for education, housing, and economic development, this bill brings us closer to upholding our federal trust and treaty obligations to American Indian and Alaska Native communities.”
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., said tribal health facilities are the primary source of health care for Native communities in his district. He called the inclusion of advance funding for IHS a historic step.
IHS, which runs two dozen hospitals and nearly 100 other clinics around the country, repeatedly has been the focus of congressional hearings and scathing government reports that seek reform.
The House Native American Caucus, in a letter sent earlier this month, urged the Biden administration, IHS and tribal nations to work toward authorizing the shift away from discretionary funding.
The lawmakers pointed to a 2017 report by the Government Accountability Office that showed per capita spending for IHS trailed by more than two-thirds the $13,185 spent by Medicare. They said insufficient funding has led to persistent staffing shortages, limited equipment availability, extended wait times and other problems.
More recently, a GAO report issued in March noted that outdated facilities, few inpatient beds and health care provider shortages made the agency's response to the coronavirus pandemic even more challenging.
IHS received more than $9 billion in COVID-19 relief funding — which it used to address both immediate and longstanding needs — but some members of Congress have argued that the agency's overall budget needs to catch up with the actual needs in tribal communities.
Advocates also have argued that every time Congress passes a continuing resolution to keep government operating, IHS has to modify hundreds of contracts to adjust for the available funding.
During the last government shutdown, the National Council of Urban Indian Health noted that urban Indian organizations reported at least five patient deaths and significant disruptions in patient services as some clinics were forced to shut their doors.

Multifamily investment firm's total transaction volume exceeds $400 million in the last 12 months
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 37th Parallel Properties ("37th Parallel") just announced their newest acquisition, Creekside South, a 252-unit, 2015-built multifamily community located in the thriving Wylie submarket. The asset was acquired in an off-market transaction by 37th Parallel on behalf of their investors and joint venture partners. 37th Parallel now has more than 1,000 units in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, representing over $235 million in asset value. This acquisition builds upon the firm's recent activity in the Sunbelt, completing over $320 million in transactions over the last twelve months with an additional $85 million pending.
"North Dallas has experienced explosive growth in recent years, benefiting from 18 of the top 25 corporate relocations and expansions in 2020 alone," said Dan Chamberlain, Managing Partner. "Wylie's population has grown 43% in the last eleven years, almost twice the rate of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro overall and six times the national average. With average household income over $115,000 and access to one of the best school districts in Dallas, we believe Creekside is particularly well positioned to capture the demonstrated suburban demand," said Chamberlain.
The property benefits from the comfort and convenience of a residential suburb combined with the connectivity and easy access to the multitude of Dallas metro amenities and employment centers. The property features a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with large floorplans averaging 936 square feet. Apartment and community amenities include nine-foot ceilings, private patios and balconies, resort-style swimming pool, outdoor lounge and firepit, as well as covered parking and attached garages.
Doug Fraser, who leads the acquisition efforts for the 37th Parallel, said, "The off-market acquisition of Creekside South is a testament to our proven investment philosophy and process and allows us to unlock significant value for our investors. We expect the demand for high-quality rental housing to continue as homeownership costs rise. The average price for a single-family home in the area has grown to $625,000, a 49% increase since January 2021."
This acquisition marks the 8th investment from 37th Parallel's inaugural fund, 37P – Fund I, which closed to new investment in early 2022. The Fund, which is over 85% invested, seeks to acquire value-add and core-plus multifamily real estate in dynamic growth markets in the Southeast and Texas. "We believe Creekside South makes an excellent addition to our growing Fund portfolio," says Chamberlain. "The Fund has experienced exceptional cash flow growth, with rental rates across all of its assets increasing an average of 18% in the last twelve months, nearly double the rate of inflation," he added. The Fund has investments in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Atlanta.
The firm expects to launch its income and equity growth fund, 37P – Fund II, in September.
Chad Doty, Managing Partner, said, "Multifamily is benefitting from a significant supply-demand imbalance that continues to drive robust rental demand and high occupancy. The housing shortfall in the United States has grown to over 4 million homes, as the cost to build apartments has risen 31% in the last two years. Meanwhile, in the past eighteen months, the average home price has increased 35%, and mortgage rates have doubled, resulting in the widest cost differential between owning and renting in the past two decades. Given the demand and performance of Fund I, and the strong, secular tailwinds for multifamily, we are looking forward to the launch of Fund II in September," he said.
37th Parallel has been actively growing its multifamily portfolio throughout the Southeast and Texas and expects to surpass $1 billion in total transaction volume by the end of the year. "We are very excited about the opportunity set for multifamily going forward amidst broader economic uncertainty," said Fraser. "First, real estate supply is coming down as material costs have increased, supply chain challenges have elongated construction timetables, and higher interest rates have reduced liquidity for financing new projects. Combined with inflation, these factors support pricing power for existing real estate assets. Second, multifamily housing benefits from shorter duration leases, allowing rental rates to regularly reset to the prevailing market rates to stay ahead of inflation, which we have experienced real-time in our portfolio. Third, the sharp increases in home prices and borrowing costs have fueled record demand for multifamily. Our moderate leverage, demographic-focused model allows us to be conservative, while simultaneously putting us in a position to capitalize on the compelling investment opportunities that present themselves in volatile times."
Berkadia's Cutt Ableson secured low leverage debt financing from a global life insurance company on behalf of 37th Parallel for the acquisition.
37th Parallel Properties is a privately held, multifamily investment firm focused on owning and operating institutional multifamily communities in the Sunbelt. Based in Richmond, VA and founded in 2008, 37th Parallel has acquired and managed over 6,100 units and completed transactions totaling more than $950 million across the Southeast and Texas, all while maintaining a 100% profitable track record for its family of high net worth, family office, and institutional investors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fires feeding off modern materials found in people's homes are burning faster and becoming deadlier at the same time that fire departments across the country are struggling to retain and recruit firefighters, officials said Thursday.
Officials with various firefighting-related agencies were in Washington to call attention to fire-related problems roughly a year after two deadly fires days apart in 2022 — one in Philadelphia and one in New York — killed 29 people. They're also recommending a number of ways to deal with the problem.
Last year nearly 2,500 people died as a result of fires, including 96 firefighters, according to U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell. More than 1 million structures caught fire and more than 7.5 million acres burned in wildfires last year, she said.
“America is still burning,” she said.
The number of fires being reported to fire departments has been going down, said Steve Kerber, the Vice President and Executive Director of the Fire Safety Research Institute, but the fires that do happen are fueled by greater use of synthetic materials in everyday items like couches and as a result burn much more quickly. Faster fires lessen the time residents can escape and fire departments can respond, Kerber said. Over the last decade fire deaths have increased by 30%, he said.
Decades ago it would likely take half an hour for a room to be completely consumed with fire, he said. But now, with materials widely used in homes, that can happen in as little as three minutes. At the same time, Americans are increasingly bringing into their homes things like scooters or electric bikes that use lithium ion batteries. If one of those is damaged and starts to burn it can become an explosive fire in seconds, he said.
“Today you have the least amount of time to safely exit your home than any time in history,” Kerber said.
At the same time, volunteer and paid fire departments around the country are struggling to retain or recruit firefighters.
Eric Bernard, board of the National Volunteer Fire Council and a volunteer firefighter in Maryland, said many volunteer fire organizations in big states such as Pennsylvania or New York have seen a steady decline in members since the 1980s. But since the pandemic there has been a “massive” drop in people who want to join both volunteer and career fire departments, he said, and more firefighters are retiring. Bernard attributed that to the stress of going on calls during the pandemic, when firefighters would often be the ones going into the homes of very sick patients and taking them to the hospital.
“That fatigue and that exhaustion physically, mentally, has caused many of the career people to retire, retire early,” Bernard said, adding, “We have health issues, mental health, post-traumatic stress and members that catch COVID.”
Bernard said fire departments also struggle to recruit women and more diverse applicants into their ranks.
Fire officials are making a number of recommendations to solve the problems, including creating an apprenticeship program to address the firefighter shortages and help diversify the ranks of firefighters; helping prepare and equip all firefighters to deal with wildfires driven by climate change; implementing and enforcing building codes; and making sure affordable housing meets safety standards. They're also advocating for suicide prevention initiatives and a comprehensive strategy to battle cancer in firefighters.

Kansas has cracked The Associated Press women’s basketball poll for the first time in nearly 10 years after a huge win while South Carolina remained the unanimous No. 1 team.
The 22nd-ranked Jayhawks routed then 12th-ranked Arizona by 27 points on the road to break into the AP Top 25 released Monday.
The top five teams remained the same with the Gamecocks followed by Stanford, Ohio State, Indiana and Notre Dame in voting by a 28-member national media panel.
Virginia Tech was sixth and will host the Fighting Irish on Sunday. Fellow ACC schools North Carolina and N.C. State were seventh and eighth.
UConn, which is beset with injuries, fell three places to ninth after losing at Maryland on Sunday. The Terrapins climbed five spots to 15th. UCLA moved up three spots to 10th.
Kansas, which is 9-0 for the fourth time in school history, last was in the poll on Jan. 14, 2013, when the Jayhawks were 23rd. They’ve been on the rise the last two years, finishing 21-10 last season for the program’s first 20-win season since 2012-13. Kansas lost to Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year.
“We have 11 returners and four starters back from last year’s team so there were high expectations going into this year,” Kansas coach Brandon Schneider said. “We learned a lot in the NCAA Tournament. We just tried to upgrade our schedule in the non-conference. I feel like we’re a group that is pretty bought in on the defensive end right now. Still a ton of room for improvement on the offensive end.”
Schneider said he will address with his team their being ranked. The Jayhawks host Tulsa on Friday.
“More in terms of the trappings of complacency, and we’re still in the non-conference,” Schneider said. “We need to feel good about it in terms of the program’s validation. I think we talked about being a program on the rise and that the trajectory of our program is headed in the right direction.”
RISING UTES
Utah moved up to No. 13, the school’s best ranking since the Utes were 12th in 2008. Utah ‘s best ranking ever is 11th in 1998. The team opens Pac-12 play on Wednesday against Colorado.
TIP-INS:
Arizona fell to 20th after its loss to Kansas. … Michigan fell five spots to 19th after losing to Toledo. … Iowa State, which dropped four spots to 14th after falling to rival Iowa, will face No. 25 Villanova on Sunday in the Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase game. … Columbia received votes in the AP poll for the first time in school history. The Lions have wins over Miami and UMass, who made the NCAA Tournament last season.
MILESTONE
Maryland coach Brenda Frese had a memorable week, earning her 600th victory in a buzzer-beating win over Purdue on Thursday. Her team then beat UConn for the first time on Sunday, also giving the coach her first victory against the perennial powerhouse. Frese coached at Ball State and Minnesota before taking over at Maryland in 2002. She’s 601-173 in her career.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As if Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn wasn’t enough for opposing teams to prepare for, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian said his team is getting ready for two entirely different styles of quarterbacks for Saturday’s game.
The widely-diversified offense for the Wildcats is one reason why they’ve risen to No. 13 in the Associated Press Top 25 rankings, and backup quarterback Will Howard had a redemptive performance in a 48-0 romp over Oklahoma State last week.
With the status of Wildcats quarterback Adrian Martinez unknown, Sarkisian said Monday he’s preparing for both Martinez’s mobility and Howard’s vertical passing ability because “he has to.”
“The style of player that Adrian Martinez is, the quarterback run game is a real factor in the success they’ve had with him,” Sarkisian said. “Howard has the ability to throw the ball and push it downfield. We’re fortunate to have two weeks to prepare, and whoever plays, they are both good. We’ve got to be ready for both.”
Martinez, who transferred from Nebraska in the offseason, was a late scratch from the Oklahoma State game with an injury, paving the way for Howard to win back some fans in a way with a great performance after a couple of years perhaps not meeting fan expectations when he played previously.
Howard threw for 296 yards with four touchdowns on 21 of 37 passing in the Wildcats’ blowout win over the Cowboys. With the win, Kansas State slid into second place in the Big 12 standings behind TCU.
Sarkisian knows the program pretty well even though he’s only coached in the Big 12 for two seasons. He was recruited by legendary Kansas State coach Bill Snyder before eventually going to BYU to play quarterback for the Cougars, and having coached in the college ranks after his playing days, he saw the impact Snyder had on the program.
Sarkisian told a quick story about his final collegiate game, which was against Kansas State in the 1997 Cotton Bowl. BYU won the game 19-15, and Sarkisian threw a perfect pass to K.O. Kealaluhi with 3:39 left in the game to lift the Cougars to victory. Sarkisian ended the game 21-for-36 passing with 291 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns to bring the Cougars back from a 15-5 deficit after three quarters. Sarkisian said Snyder wrote him a note congratulating him on a good game afterward.
“There’s a lot on integrity in the way they go about their business, and I think they do it the right way,” Sarkisian said. “It started with Coach Snyder, and obviously Coach [Chris] Klieman has done a great job continuing that process.”
Sarkisian said the bye week was great in terms of what the team needed to do — heal up bumps and bruises and develop depth — and defensive backs Anthony Cook and Ryan Watts have trended in the right direction when it comes to being able to play again. Both left the Longhorns’ previous game with injuries, Cook with a broken arm and Watts aggravating a shoulder injury he suffered against Iowa State.
Sarkisian said it’s “a little too early” to make a determination on if either player will play against Kansas State, but everyone who was banged up was able to get healthier, he said.
Getting ready for two varieties of quarterback plus one of the best backs in the conference in Vaughn is, to use a seasonal descriptive term, pretty spooky. Vaughn is second in the Big 12 with 902 rushing yards with five touchdowns. He had one of his best games of the season, a 153-yard performance against Oklahoma State, last week, and he’s had success against the Longhorns in the past. Last year, the Cedar Ridge graduate rushed for 143 yards on 24 carries with a touchdown against the Longhorns. In 2020, Vaughn needed just 10 carries to run for 125 yards and two touchdowns.
“He’s a really versatile back,” Sarkisian said. “They do a good job being creative with him, moving him around, and he’s got great balance and body control. He can make you miss in tight quarters and keep his balance in the power run game. You definitely have to be aware of where he is all the time.”
Texas and Kansas State kick off at 6 p.m. CT Saturday from Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. The game will be broadcast on FS1, Fox Sports’ cable network.

Editor’s note: Be careful out there with fireworks. Here’s a perspective from Washington’s dry side at the start of wildland fire season.
The warnings go out every year — because every year, the thoughtless among us make the same irresponsible mistakes. Mistakes that can threaten lives, destroy people’s homes and cost us all money.
So here it is again: Don’t set off illegal fireworks this week.
Yes, the Fourth of July is great cause for celebration. It’s the anniversary of our nation’s conception — the date we declared our independence from England’s royal rule.
But setting off dangerous and illegal fireworks doesn’t do anything to advance the cause of freedom. It’s just boneheaded behavior that puts bone-dry countryside at risk needlessly.
If the Founding Fathers could’ve seen this coming, maybe they’d have held off on the Declaration of Independence until December or January, when the ground is usually a lot wetter.
This year, after a historically dry spring, local fire authorities have gone a step further than usual, issuing a summerlong burn ban throughout the unincorporated areas of Yakima County. The ban took effect Saturday and stays up through Sept. 30.
The ban, combined with an existing prohibition on fireworks in unincorporated areas, is meant to discourage would-be pyromaniacs from accidentally laying waste to their neighbors’ houses or setting off wildfires that blacken hundreds of acres.
Instead, they’re urging fireworks fans to express their love for the country by attending any of the various community celebrations planned for the Fourth — and by taking in any of the professionally staged fireworks shows that are in the works.
Trust us, you’re doing the patriotic thing here.
Your neighbors will thank you. Your pets will thank you. And perhaps more than anyone else, local fire crews will thank you.
Besides, if you really love your country, you don’t want to burn it down, do you?

BALTIMORE, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC) ("Greenland" or the "Company"), a technology developer and manufacturer of electric industrial vehicles and drivetrain systems for material handling machineries and vehicles, today commented on the passage of the Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2022, which was sponsored by Delegate David Frasier-Hidalgo.
The Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2022 establishes a grant program that the Maryland Energy Administration will administrate, with the Governor including in the annual budget bill an appropriation of at least $750,000 in the fiscal years 2024 through 2027 from the Strategic Investment Fund for grants for zero–emission heavy equipment property under the program. The legislation takes effect July 1, 2022, with the grant program set to subsidize equipment purchased on or after July 1, 2023.
"I am thrilled that the Clean Cars Act has been signed into law and includes incentives for zero-emission technology, such as the equipment that Greenland produces," said Delegate David Fraser Hidalgo. "This legislation is a critical step in reducing emissions among industrial equipment and achieving a more sustainable future."
Raymond Wang, CEO of Greenland, commented, "We applaud Maryland's Governor, Senate and House for taking leadership to facilitate a cleaner, healthier, green environment and economy. We have invested in the creation of industrial electric vehicles that offer superior performance, return on investment and aesthetics to traditional vehicles. Our investments in innovation have enabled us to bring electric industrial vehicles to market that are set to disrupt traditional industrial fleets from warehouses to other heavy handling environments. The fact that Maryland continues to take a leadership role in encouraging both manufacturers, like Greenland, and customer adoption reinforces our strategic decision to buildout our U.S. manufacturing operations in Baltimore County. We hope other states will follow Maryland's example and adopt similar programs, as acceleration of the conversion of the industrial vehicle market to clean, electric vehicles is in everyone's best interests."

MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin says Russia is trying to build relations with the Taliban and that Russia wants to see all the ethnic groups in Afghanistan take part in running the country.
Putin’s statement Tuesday came in a meeting with President Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan during the Russian leader’s first trip abroad since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict.
Tajikistan, which hosts a Russian military base, has a long and porous border with Afghanistan and is wary that Islamic radicalism could seep into the country.
“We are doing everything so that the situation in that country normalizes,” Putin said in Dushanbe, the Tajik capital. “We are attempting to build relations with the political forces that control the situation.”
“We are working from the premise that all ethnic groups in Afghanistan, as was already said, must properly participate in running the country,” he said.
Although Russia designates the Taliban as a terrorist group, the Taliban have representation in Russia and a delegation attended the recent St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Putin on Wednesday will be in the Turkmen capital Ashgabat for a summit of leaders of Caspian Sea littoral states.

AMSTERDAM, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
- Joint venture to build battery plant plans to start production in early 2027
- Facility to have an initial annual production capacity of 34 gigawatt-hours (GWh)
- Stellantis and Samsung SDI currently building a gigafactory in Kokomo, Indiana, with launch expected in first quarter of 2025
- Gigafactory intended to be the sixth battery facility to support Stellantis' bold electrification plan outlined in Dare Forward 2030
Stellantis N.V. and Samsung SDI today announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a second battery manufacturing facility in the United States, under the existing StarPlus Energy joint venture. Targeted to start production in 2027, the plant aims to have an initial annual production capacity of 34 gigawatt-hours (GWh).
In May 2022, Stellantis and Samsung SDI announced their commitment to build a first battery manufacturing facility in Kokomo, Indiana. Targeted to launch in the first quarter of 2025, the plant will have an annual production of 33 GWh, up from the initial target of 23 GWh.
"This new facility will contribute to reaching our aggressive target to offer at least 25 new battery-electric vehicles for the North American market by the end of the decade," said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. "We are continuing to add more capacity in the United States together with our great partner Samsung SDI and laying the next steps to reaching our carbon neutrality commitment by 2038."
"By establishing the joint venture with Stellantis last year, we laid a solid groundwork for marking our presence in North America," remarked Samsung SDI President and CEO Yoon-ho Choi. "The second plant will accelerate our market penetration into the U.S. and help Stellantis push forward the U.S. transition to an era of electric vehicles by supplying the products featuring the highest levels of safety and quality."
As part of the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis announced plans of reaching 100% of passenger-car battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and 50% of passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. To achieve these sales targets, the company is securing approximately 400 GWh of battery capacity. Stellantis is on track to become a carbon net zero corporation by 2038, all scopes included, with single-digit percentage compensation of remaining emissions.
The location of the new facility is currently under review and further details will be shared at a later date.
The transaction is subject to the execution of definitive documentation.

Burning Man latest foe of ‘green energy’ project in Nevada
By SCOTT SONNER
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Add Burning Man to the list of plaintiffs challenging one of the growing number of “green energy” projects in the works in Nevada.
Lithium mines aimed at boosting production of electric vehicle batteries and geothermal power plants that tap underground water to produce renewable energy are at various stages of planning and development in the nation’s top gold mining state.
Environmental groups, Native American tribes and ranchers are among those who’ve filed lawsuits over the past two years seeking to block individual projects.
They say that while they support reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to help combat climate change, the commercial developments on public land in Nevada were approved illegally and will have their own environmental and cultural consequences.
Now, the group that stages perhaps the most famous counterculture event in the world is among those facing off against the U.S. government over geothermal exploration in the Nevada desert where 70,000 free spirits known as “Burners” gather every summer.
The San Francisco-based Burning Man Project and four co-plaintiffs filed the new lawsuit in federal court in Reno this week accusing the Bureau of Land Management of breaking environmental laws in approving Ormat Nevada Inc.’s exploratory drilling in the Black Rock Desert 120 miles (193 kilometers) north of Reno.
Friends of Nevada Wilderness, Friends of Black Rock/High Rock Inc. and two local residents of Gerlach joined the suit that says the agency’s environmental review of the exploration project ignored potential harms that could come from a large-scale geothermal project.
“Ormat’s exploration project will lay the foundation for turning a unique, virtually pristine ecosystem of environmental, historical and cultural significance into an industrial zone, and permanently alter the landscape,” the lawsuit says.
Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said the lawsuit has no merit.
The Bureau of Land Management has no comment on the lawsuit, agency spokesman Brian Hires said in an email to The Associated Press.
The drilling is planned within the Black Rock National Conservation Area, home to the festival where themed tent villages and avant-garde art exhibits sprout from a barren desert basin that was once the floor of an ancient lake.
Clothing is optional, but participation is required at the psychedelic celebration of art, music and sometimes anarchy itself as aging hippies, Silicon Valley executives and other curiosity seekers gather around drum circles and pagan fire rituals.
Or, as the lawsuit says, where attendees “over the course of eight days, camp and participate in a unique experimental community.”
“The ethos and culture of the event are rooted in the Ten Principles of Burning Man,” including “radical inclusion,” gifting, self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility and “Leaving No Trace,” the lawsuit explains.
The lawsuit said Ormat has attempted to evade analysis of the geothermal power plants’ potential negative effects on the environment by segmenting the project, which limits BLM’s review to only the first stage of its plans: exploration.
“However, this first stage merely confirms where the resources are located to inform future industrial scale geothermal energy development,” the suit said. “Once the exploration project begins, it will be impossible to stop the effects of the entire geothermal production project.”
The exploration project calls for 19 test wells and pads, associated facilities and 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) of improved and new access roads.
The proposed wells would be adjacent to a number of unique hot springs that are relied upon by the local community for tourism. The springs also are ecologically significant because they’re “interconnected with each other, the ecosystem and the pristine landscape of the region,” the suit said.
“After participating in the public process and seeing no movement on our concerns, we filed this lawsuit to help ensure the impacts from the proposed project are minimized, and that Ormat is a good corporate citizen in this environmentally sensitive, economically vulnerable area of northern Nevada,” said Adam Belsky, Burning Man Project’s general counsel.
Thomsen said in an email that Ormat “looks forward to prevailing in the lawsuit and continuing its contribution to Nevada’s green energy, zero emissions future, which will offset some of the copious amounts of fossil fuels the Burning Man Project annually emits in the Black Rock Desert.”

How the Georgia Senate runoff will work
If Georgia voters were hoping to avoid talking politics at Thanksgiving, the state's tightly contested Senate race has other plans.
Neither Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock nor Republican challenger Herschel Walker surpassed the 50% threshold needed to win the race outright Tuesday evening, the AP and CNN project, forcing a runoff election set for Dec. 6.
But what exactly does that mean? And how will the runoff election work?
Here's what you need to know.
What is a runoff and how does it work?
A runoff is an additional election used to determine the winner of a certain race when neither candidate earns the required threshold for victory -- in this case, 50%.
In Georgia, runoffs are more straightforward than general elections in that the candidate with the most votes wins.
Georgia's top elections official, Brad Raffensperger, said counties are already preparing for the Dec. 6 election, and voters can request absentee ballots starting Wednesday through Nov. 28 via the state's online portal.
Early voting must begin by Nov. 28 in all counties, but Raffensperger said his office anticipates some counties could have early voting on Saturday, Nov. 26 or Sunday, Nov. 27. "We are working with the counties to find out what their plans are on this front," he said.
Notably, the logistics of the 2022 runoff will be different than in years past. The 2021 Georgia law that cut the length of runoffs from nine weeks to four means that the deadline for a new voter to register for the runoff election has already passed.
What is at stake?
Put simply, a lot.
Depending on the outcome of Senate races in Arizona and Nevada, voters in Georgia could then -- for the second consecutive election cycle -- have the Senate majority in their hands.
Top officials from the Democratic and Republican parties told CNN they intend to double down on their significant investments in Georgia, with an increasing assumption that control of the Senate could hinge on the outcome of the runoff.
What are the candidates saying?
In brief remarks on Tuesday night, Walker asked supporters gathered in a hotel ballroom to "hang in there a little bit longer."
"I'm telling you right now -- I didn't come to lose," Walker said.
Warnock, meanwhile, told supporters early Wednesday morning, "We're not sure if this journey is over today, or if there's still a little work yet to do, but here's what we do know: We know that when they're finished counting the votes from today's election, that we're going to have received more votes than my opponent."
Both candidates are expected to speak later Wednesday, aides said, with specific plans still in flux.

Memphis police shoot suspect after he fired shots outside Jewish school, authorities say
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis police on Monday said officers shot a suspect after he attempted to enter a Jewish school with a gun and fired shots after he couldn’t get into the building.
Assistant Police Chief Don Crowe said the suspect, whose identity has not been released, approached Margolin Hebrew Academy-Feinstone Yeshiva of the South around 12:20 p.m. He fired several shots and then left in a maroon truck.
“Thankfully, that school had a great safety procedure and process in place and avoided anyone being harmed or injured at that scene,” Crowe said.
Officers soon located the suspect’s vehicle “shortly after that,” Crowe said, adding that officers then shot the suspect after he exited the truck with a firearm in hand. The suspect was sent to a hospital where he is in critical condition.
It was not immediately clear if school was in session.
When asked if law enforcement believe the shooting was a hate crime, Crowe said officers were still on the scene and collecting information.
“It’s way too early for that. Again, we’re very early in this investigation,” Crowe said.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now handling the case.
Oscar Gomez said two of his teenage children were outside their house when the man was shot in their neighborhood. They told him about the shooting when he arrived home from work, he said.
“They heard the shooting and they threw themselves on the floor trying to protect themselves,” said Gomez, 39.
U.S. Rep. Seve Cohen, whose district includes Memphis, said in a statement that he was “shocked” to hear about the incident at the school and noted that acts of “violent antisemitism” are on the rise across the country.
Monday’s shooting comes nearly four months after a shooter opened fire at a private Christian school in Nashville and killed six people, including three nine-year-old children. That tragedy has sparked closer scrutiny of Tennessee’s relaxed gun laws and renewed calls to strengthen security at both public and private schools across the state.

(NEXSTAR) – A teenager from Texas has been charged with murder after troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol discovered a dead body in the trunk of the car he was driving last week.
Tyler Roenz, 17, was also charged with tampering with evidence “in the death and disappearance of his mother, 49 year-old Michelle Roenz,” tweeted Sheriff Ed Gonzalez of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Texas on Friday.
NPS troopers first apprehended the suspect on Oct. 13, after being alerted to a homicide investigation by authorities in Harris County. The sheriff’s office had informed NPS that a vehicle believed to be involved in the investigation — a black Mazda — was traveling through Nebraska.
NSP troopers located the Mazda shortly afterward. The driver then led troopers on a high-speed chase after ignoring a traffic stop, at times reaching speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour, according to an NPS news release issued the following day.
“After approximately nine miles, the Mazda attempted to slow down, but struck the rear of a semi, left the roadway, and struck a tree in the ditch,” the NSP wrote.
Troopers then found the body of a deceased woman in the trunk. NPS later identified the victim as Michelle Roenz, who, along with Tyler Roenz, had been reported missing in Harris County earlier that week.
The 17 year-old suffered serious injuries in the crash, according to both the NSP and HCSO, though the NSP said they were “non-life-threatening.”
Tyler Roenz was placed in the custody of the Nebraska State Patrol (NPS) while awaiting extradition to Texas, Sheriff Gonzalez said.
The investigation is ongoing.

Leading producer of limestone products digitizes its business to raise efficiency and support industrial and manufacturing growth in Saudi Arabia and beyond
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Infor®, the industry cloud company, today announced that Saudi Lime Industries Co. (SLIC), a Saudi Arabia-based producer and supplier of limestone products, has selected Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), to help simplify and automate its business and processes.
Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, a powerful, composable, platform-based ERP solution preconfigured for discrete manufacturers, will boost SLIC's ability to optimally meet surging demand for its products from sectors including construction, iron & steel, glass production, mining, and agriculture in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and support Saudi Arabia's economic diversification in line with the aims of Saudi Vision 2030.
Demand for limestone is rising rapidly. The global limestone market is expected to reach $86.75 billion in 2026, up from $68.32 billion in 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.15% during that time, according to The Business Research Co. The figure is likely to be higher in SLIC's key markets, especially Saudi Arabia, where the construction and infrastructure sectors are booming on the back of mega-projects such as the NEOM smart city and developments on the Red Sea Coast.
SLIC was founded in 1977 and has its main plant and headquarters in Riyadh, in addition to brick production operations in Jeddah. The company produces a full range of lime-based products, including limestone, dolomite, quicklime and hydrated lime, plus blocks and bricks. The production cycle, from mining to processing and distribution, is extremely complex, involving significant manpower, partnerships, and diverse equipment and machinery.
To maintain its lead in the market and continue improving its ability to serve customers, SLIC developed a digital transformation strategy called SPARK, which included a plan to simplify its operations, raise efficiency, and capture and analyze valuable data to gain operational and market insights to further improve performance.
SLIC selected Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise as its ERP solution because it met these needs and more. The solution is preconfigured for SLIC's industry-specific needs and will help it achieve a shorter implementation and therefore faster time to value by gaining visibility of its business and transform the processes required to quickly respond to customer, supplier and regulatory needs — with no software customizations required. It also will allow SLIC to integrate with its suppliers, partners and customers, helping it anticipate issues such as supply chain bottlenecks or upcoming changes in demand. These capabilities made it easy for SLIC to select Infor's ERP solution, which the management team said was a clear choice over the rival solutions they assessed.
"One of the key reasons we selected Infor was the feedback we received from the end users in Saudi Lime as part of a vigorous selection process. Infor was the clear leader among the vendors we trialed," said Eng. Abdullah Faris, SLIC IT consultant. "We were genuinely excited to learn about the capabilities of Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, which feels as if it has been tailor-made for our company's needs but with all the convenience of buying an off-the-shelf solution. The software does everything we need it to do and more: It is helping us reduce complexity and gain visibility, while increasing our understanding of our business and key markets better, which is a win-win for SLIC and our customers. It also means we'll be better placed to support Saudi Arabia's industrial diversification."
SLIC expects to go live with Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise in May. SLIC is also deploying Infor Global Human Resources (GHR) Employee/Manager Self-Service module, which will streamline HR processes and enable the company's growing workforce — currently about 370 people — to access HR services and information from anywhere at any time on any device.
"By deploying Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, SLIC is showing how preconfigured, industry-specific ERP can help companies in specialist industries with complex footprints simplify their business, become agile, and turn their data into a catalyst for continual improvement," said Kerry Koutsikos, Infor vice president and GM for Middle East Africa. "We're excited to support SLIC on its ambitious transformation plan."

New evidence confirms that dogs can detect COVID-19 with their noses.
A study published in the journal Plos One shows how trained detection dogs can be used as a form of “rapid testing” for the virus.
Dogs in the study sniffed out swabs of sweat and swabs of saliva.
Trained canines were 97% accurate in detecting whether COVID-19 was present.
Even in cases where patients were asymptomatic, the dogs were about 94% accurate in detecting the virus.
According to the results of the study, the trained dogs were better at detecting COVID-19 than antigen tests.
Researchers concluded that trained dogs could be used as a non-invasive way to test for coronavirus, especially when conducting mass screenings where results are needed quickly.

A new documentary on Tesla CEO Elon Musk is slated for an April 24 premiere, Deadline reported Monday.
Titled “The Cult of Elon,” the documentary is one of eight being produced by Vice News for the streaming service Tubi. It will focus on Musk’s “path to becoming one of the most influential, and controversial, businessmen by creating an immensely powerful cult of personality,” according to the report.
“The Cult of Elon” is executive produced by Maral Usefi and Stacey Sommer, edited by Jeb Banegas and Patrick Mannion, and produced by Steve Bartus.
This isn’t the only Elon Musk documentary in the works. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney last month announced that he was working on one of his own, simply titled “Elon,” that aims to be a “definitive and unvarnished examination” of the billionaire. Gibney is no stranger to films on industry bigwigs, having previously covered Steve Jobs, Elizabeth Holmes and her former company Theranos, and former Enron executives. A release date for “Elon” hasn’t been set.
Musk’s life certainly includes plenty of material for a documentary. As the personality behind PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla, he’s rarely been out of the limelight over the past decade. And whether it’s splitting with Tesla’s founders or repeated claims about full-self-driving capability that have attracted the attention of the Justice Department and federal regulators, Musk’s management of the automaker hasn’t been without controversy.
Those who follow the auto industry have become familiar with Musk’s unique personality, but he’s attracted even more headlines since taking over Twitter, giving social media users an up-close look at his management style. Perhaps that’s why, even after Tesla’s many success, it’s only now that we’re getting Musk documentaries.

INDIANAPOLIS — Friends and family of a 16-year-old shot to death at Castleton Square Mall are speaking out about the shooting.
Those who knew the teen are urging the prosecutor to file charges against the shooter.
Witnesses claim the shooter was sitting inside a white Chevy, which the victim and his friends mistakenly thought belonged to them because it was an identical make and model to their own car.
That mistake apparently led to tragedy Tuesday night and cost 16-year-old Michael Mason Jr. his life.
“This is really difficult for our entire school family,” said Erica Porter with Rooted School Indianapolis.
Sitting in front of Michael’s grandmother, leaders at the Rooted School at Eastern Star Church spoke on behalf of the teen’s family.
“A tragedy like this is very difficult to accept. A child’s life was snuffed out before he even got a chance to live,” said Porter.
School leaders say Michael played basketball and was also a dedicated student.
“His freshman year he was the only kid in the school who had perfect attendance,” said school leader Ma’at Lands.
While police won’t confirm any specifics, the father of a second person who was wounded in the shooting believes the victim’s tried to open the suspect’s car door by mistake.
“My son said wait this is not our car and all of sudden someone inside starts shooting out of the window,” said Eddie Smith Sr.
Pastor Smith’s son survived being shot four times in the leg.
While police say the shooter stayed on the scene and cooperated, the victim’s family has a message for the prosecutor.
“Anything other than murder and attempted murder is unacceptable,” said Smith Sr.
Michael’s family and former educators agree. They too hope the shooter is held accountable for the senseless violence.
“This kind of thing could happen to anybody. You go into the parking lot and see a car that looks exactly like yours,” said Porter.
Police say the shooter was released from custody pending a formal charging decision by the prosecutor’s office.
The death marks the second juvenile homicide victim killed this week.
Officials with the Office and Public Health and Safety say there are dozens of youth-serving organizations that receive grant money from the city.
They urge parents to get involved and find ways to keep their kids safe.
“Our message is get your child signed up for something. These kids need some positive programming and positive role models,” said Sharday Hoskins with OPHS.
While overall homicides fell in 2022 compared to 2021, last year also saw a higher number of youth homicide victims compared to any other recent year.

With drought conditions affecting the health of California trees, PG&E is using patrols both from the air and on the ground to make sure those trees aren't growing too close to powerlines and posing a fire risk.
“In theory, when we patrol the trees on the ground six months ago, they could have been alive, right? But with tree mortality in the drought, six months’ time, you can have a green tree go from being alive to dead,” said Greg Saenz, supervising Vegetation program manager at PG&E.
These patrols happen twice a year in high-fire threat areas. Inspectors look for trees adjacent to the PG&E transmission lines. “Dead trees could fall over, cause an outage or start a fire, so that's very concerning for us as a utility, you know, we're members of the community as well. And obviously, wildfires is a very significant concern,” added Saenz.
He says they are looking for trees that have a rust color or are without folliage. PG&E officials also patrol on the ground to make sure the shrubbery isn't too close to powerlines.
“We can either cut down the tree or cut the tree back. We patrol about 100,000 miles of line a year, and we've cut down or pruned about a million trees in a year,” explained Carina Corral, a communications representative for PG&E.
The patrols are taking place this week in Cayucos through Cambria, Atascadero through Cayucos, and Templeton through Atascadero.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Soaring U.S. tensions with China, fears of a new Russian offensive against Ukraine and a stalemate with Turkey over NATO expansion will top Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s agenda as he heads to Europe this week.
Blinken will leave Washington on Thursday for nearly a week of meetings in Germany, Turkey and Greece, the State Department said Wednesday.
He starts his six-day trip at the Munich Security Conference, where he will join Vice President Kamala Harris in representing the Biden administration.
Speculation is high that Blinken might use the opportunity to meet top Chinese foreign policy official Wang Yi who will also be attending the Munich conference. No such meeting is yet scheduled but if one takes place it would be the first high-level discussion with China since Blinken postponed a trip to China last week over its suspected spy balloon.
A wide array of other senior foreign officials will also be at the Munich conference and apart from increasing worries over Chinese surveillance activities, the situation in Ukraine ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia is expected to be a prime concern.
The conference is taking place on the eve of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and last year’s iteration was dominated by warnings from the U.S. and its NATO allies that a war was imminent.
From Munich, Blinken will travel to Turkey, where he will stop first at Incirlik Air Base to look at relief and recovery operations for the victims of last week’s devastating earthquake, before going on to Ankara for expected talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other senior officials.
One of his priorities in Ankara will be trying to unblock Turkey’s objections to Finland and Sweden joining NATO. Erdogan has complained that the Finns and, more particularly the Swedes, are too lenient toward groups it deems terror organizations or existential threats, including Kurdish groups.
Unanimity among the alliance is needed to accept new members and all 30 current allies except Turkey have either ratified or signaled their intent to ratify Finland and Sweden’s entry.
At the same time, Washington has other issues with Ankara, including Turkey’s persistent desire to purchase advanced U.S. fighter jets, something that a number of powerful lawmakers are opposed to on human rights grounds.
Blinken will wrap up his trip in Athens, where he will discuss festering Greek-Turkish tensions, and other issues, including energy security in the eastern Mediterranean and defense cooperation.

Unit 3 successfully generates electricity, connects to grid for the first time
Unit 4 Hot Functional Testing began last month
ATLANTA, April 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power announced today it has achieved another important milestone for the new nuclear units under construction at its Vogtle 3 & 4 nuclear expansion project near Waynesboro, Ga. The generator at Vogtle Unit 3 has generated electricity for the first time, and the unit has successfully synchronized and connected to the electric grid. Meanwhile, at Vogtle Unit 4, nuclear operators began hot functional testing last month. Both achievements represent significant steps toward operations.
"What an incredibly inspiring time to join Georgia Power as we celebrate this milestone that marks the first day of generating clean, reliable power at this new nuclear unit, which will serve our customers over the next 60 to 80 years," said Kim Greene, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. "I consider myself very fortunate to have worked onsite at Vogtle 1 & 2 early in my career as an engineer, learning so much that I have carried with me over the years while also gaining an appreciation of the value of nuclear energy as a critical, long-term investment for our state. As we approach commercial operation for Unit 3, I know that every professional who has been involved in this project or worked at Plant Vogtle is proud of the role they have played in helping build a clean energy future for Georgia."
Connecting to the electric grid is part of ongoing startup testing for Vogtle Unit 3, and operators will continue to raise reactor power for electricity generation while performing tests at various power levels. This Unit 3 milestone follows initial criticality, reached on March 6, when operators safely started the nuclear reaction inside the reactor, generating nuclear heat to produce steam. Once all startup testing is successfully completed and the unit is available for reliable dispatch, the unit will enter commercial operation.
At Unit 4, hot functional testing, which began last month, marks the last series of major tests underway for the new nuclear unit ahead of initial fuel load. The testing is being conducted to verify the successful operation of reactor components and systems together and confirm the reactor is ready for fuel load. As part of the testing, the site team will begin running Unit 4 plant systems, without nuclear fuel in the reactor, and advance through the testing process towards reaching normal operating pressure and temperature. Nuclear operators will use the heat generated by the unit's four reactor coolant pumps to raise the temperature and pressure of plant systems to normal operating levels. Once normal operating temperature and pressure levels are achieved and sustained, the unit's main turbine will be raised to normal operating speed using steam from the plant. During these series of tests, nuclear operators will be able to exercise and validate procedures as required ahead of fuel load.
The in-service date for Unit 3 is projected during May or June 2023. Vogtle Unit 4 is projected to enter service in late fourth quarter 2023 or first quarter 2024.
The new Vogtle units are an essential part of Georgia Power's commitment to delivering clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy to its 2.7 million customers. Once operating, the two new units, which will be clean energy sources that produce zero emissions, are expected to power more than 500,000 homes and businesses. Southern Nuclear will operate the new units on behalf of the co-owners: Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power, MEAG Power and Dalton Utilities.

Now with just a few series in the regular season they sit 10.5 games back but remaining the Braves look to keep that wild card spot going into the playoffs. Atlanta is currently on a 5 game win streak and head to take on Oakland this week. While Atlanta pretty much has clinched a playoff spot they can still move around n the standings. Two series left to play against another wild card team in Philadelphia. Along with these series the Braves also have to play another series against the division leading Mets.
Philadelphia Phillies
With one of the more amazing stories of the season after firing team manager Joe Girardi in early June after a 22-29 start new manager Rob Thomson has been able to unlock the potential that many thought the Phillies had in the pre-season. Philadelphia now sits at 73-61 after having a lack luster start have put together multiple winning streaks to put them in sole possession of the second wild card spot. Phillies have had an up and down season but look to end strong after getting back NL MVP Bryce Harper late last month from a broken hand injury. Philadelphia will end their season with two series against wild card leader Atlanta Braves and American League leaders Houston Astros.

San Diego Padres
Padres now hold the third wild card and look to hold it. San Diego was one of many teams to make big moves prior to the trade deadline this season by trading for superstar outfielder Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals after Soto had not signed a new contract for Washington. Padres has had ups and downs this season however they hope to retain the third and final wild card spot heading into October. Padres will have two tough series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the final stretch of the season.

(The Hill) – Millennials are now a homeowner-majority generation — a milestone achieved amid a global pandemic and an unsteady housing market.
The country’s largest generation has added millions to the homeowner ranks in the last decade alone and reached 18.2 million owners last year, according to recent data from the listing website RentCafe.
But this population, comprised of Americans born between 1981 and 1996, reached this hallmark of the American dream later than both their parents and grandparents, when their average age was 34. Generation X and baby boomers achieved this feat at ages 32 and 33 respectively.
“There was a long-standing belief that millennials never wanted to own and were perfectly content renting. That belief has proven to be false. The reality was — millennials were simply delaying big life moments compared to prior generations,” Zonda chief economist Ali Wolf told The Hill.
“This is because of a combination of reasons, including more women entering the labor force and having children later, delayed marriage and student loan debt,” Wolf added.
What took so long?
Millennial buyers are also facing a nagging lack of housing stock, stubbornly high home prices, volatile mortgage rates and growing inflation.
These younger buyers are also competing against some older buyers who’ve amassed substantial equity through previous home purchases, all while the average cost of a first mortgage is soaring.
Although mortgage rates are falling from their peak at more than 7 percent, they remain drastically higher than they were during the pandemic housing boom, when rates hit record lows.
Figures from the Mortgage Bankers Association show these persistently high rates drove up the average loan balance for first mortgages to $323,780 in 2022 from $298,324 a year earlier.
Meanwhile, data from the National Association of Realtors revealed that baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, made up the biggest share of homebuyers last year while the millennial share declined from the previous year.
And equity in an existing home could be a boost to baby boomers, especially those who are downsizing, Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for real estate brokerage Redfin, told The Hill.
“Especially for baby boomers, if they’re downsizing, they may be able to take the equity out of their home and take the next home in cash and then the interest rate doesn’t matter,” she said.
Younger buyers without home equity or financial help from their parents could struggle to make a purchase.
“At the same time, first-time homebuyers were instead left trying to amass a larger amount of funds in an economic environment where prices were rising rapidly on everything from rents to groceries,” Realtor.com chief economist Danielle Hale told The Hill.
Persistent lack of housing is also hindering millennials’ ability to find their first home. This is due partly to years of under-building following the 2008 financial crisis and housing crash, the end of which coincided with millennials forming their own households.
“Our estimates suggest that we have seen housing construction — both single-family and multifamily — lag behind household formation. In other words, we haven’t built enough homes for millions of new households, and that’s driving up the cost of owning and renting existing homes and apartments while leaving fewer existing homes and apartments vacant,” Hale said.
High student debt holds millennials back
Millennials caught a break amid the pandemic when the federal government paused student loan payments. Around 15 million millennials hold student debt, the largest number among all generations, figures from the Education Data Initiative show. On average, they owe more than $33,000 per borrower.
The Biden administration has said payments will resume after the Supreme Court rules on a lawsuit brought against his administration’s forgiveness program or 60 days after June 30.
Millennial student debt holders could theoretically afford homes and take on monthly mortgage payments. But the upfront costs of home-buying, including down payments and closing costs, create another set of issues, Wolf said.
Yet, in the current environment marked by high prices, low inventory and volatile mortgage rates, loan forgiveness may not be the ticket to homeownership.
“With a student loan pause, I think some [younger buyers] were optimistic that that wouldn’t be something hanging over their heads anymore, and that that would give them the opportunity to afford a mortgage,” Fairweather said.
“But even if student loan debt was forgiven, what would happen is that more people would be able to buy a home and that would drive up home prices, because it’d be more demand for homes,” she added.
“Prices really always come back to the lack of supply.”

Republicans can't miss the moment to hold COVID regimes accountable
Republican midterm victories show a hunger for accountability over pandemic policies
Last week, we finally got confirmation that the Republicans have won the House of Representatives. This is good news, especially for those of us who want to see some accountability for the terrible COVID policies of the last few years. It’s time for House hearings into the American response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The argument that Americans want to move on and forget what happened during the pandemic is contradicted by the recent election results. Yes, Republicans were hoping for a giant red wave and what they got was a red ripple. But it’s important to note where their votes came from in the election and why that shows a hunger for accountability over pandemic policies.
New York had every single county move red and ultimately may be responsible for Republicans capturing the House. Lee Zeldin (R) lost to Kathy Hochul (D), that’s true, but his competitive race meant that he lifted up several Congressional candidates in the state.
DCCC chairman Sean Patrick Maloney lost his seat in upstate New York, Marc Molinaro won in Dutchess County and all of Long Island, Zeldin’s home turf, was awash in red. My home area of south Brooklyn was too. These are the people hit hardest by dumb COVID policies, who couldn’t stay home in their pajamas, work on their laptops, and order Uber Eats. For this, their businesses were targeted and their kids’ schools were closed. They remember.
Long Island had fought for their freedoms first under Gov. Andrew Cuomo and then Hochul’s COVID regimes. Cuomo, who had insisted that he was in charge of schools when he wanted to flex on then-NYC mayor Bill de Blasio, was suddenly silent when it came time to open them and kept masks on kids long after we knew it made no sense. Cuomo also shut businesses down at his whim, declaring various zip codes to have too high a COVID rate. Hochul, who has very rarely been seen in a mask, was responsible for forcing two-year-olds across the state to mask long after everyone else had stopped.

Unscientific policies like these caused harm to people across the country. Our politicized health agencies provided the cover for politicians to use COVID to enact any policy they wanted. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rochelle Walensky allowed Randi Weingarten, who heads up the special interest group American Federation of Teachers, to craft school reopening policies. These policies specifically kept schools closed and harmed thousands of children, harm we are now seeing come to light in their test scores. The White House coordinated Walensky and Weingarten’s sit-down. Hold them all accountable.

Meanwhile, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that schools couldn’t open until President Joe Biden’s spending bill passed. This was in February 2021, long after schools had been open in most sane places across the country. Haul him in front of the House and have him answer for the damage he has done to these kids in the name of politics. Let that be his legacy before he retires: Anthony Fauci harmed children. Hold him accountable.
Republicans have a moment now to get everyone on the record, under oath, about what happened during the pandemic. If they miss this moment, the history rewrite is on. Already all the politicians who closed schools, like Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, are full-on lying that they didn’t. A GOP House has to demand accountability. This is their immediate purpose, and they should not let it pass.

Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) are placing their bets, making a wager on the winner of the 2024 White House race.
The South Carolina Republican appeared as a guest on “The Daily Show” on Monday. Franken, serving as guest host on the Comedy Central program, welcomed his former Senate colleague, saying he was hopeful they would “find common ground.”
“There’s always hope,” Graham quipped.
Describing their relationship in the upper chamber as friendly, Franken said there had since been a “strain in terms of [Graham’s] politics,” specifically pointing to his support of former President Trump.
“Here’s the question for you and maybe others: Trump is trying to come back,” Graham told Franken.
“I think he’s got a better than good chance of winning the primary and a 50/50 chance of being president again,” he added.
Trump launched his 2024 presidential bid last November. President Biden has repeatedly expressed his intention to run for reelection, but hasn’t made an official 2024 campaign announcement.
“The No. 1 tradition that’s meaningful in this country is the peaceful transition of power,” Franken, who resigned from the Senate in 2017 following sexual misconduct accusations, told Graham. “How then can you want a guy who allowed us to go through this violent insurrection?” Franken asked, referring to the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol by Trump supporters.
“When President Trump was president, on the things I care the most about — national security — I thought he did a damn good job,” Graham replied, ticking off a list of what he described as accomplishments by the 45th commander in chief, including energy independence, border security, the Abraham Accords, and ordering the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
“At the end of the day, he’s got to prove to people — not me — that he’s able to lead us again. And that will be a challenge for him,” Graham, 67, continued. “And that will be a challenge for [President] Biden to say ‘Give me four more years after the last four.’ We’ll see what happens,” he added.
“Well, l think Biden wins that,” Franken shot back.
“Let’s bet. Can we bet?” asked Graham.
The pair then agreed on an amount for their wager.
“Twenty bucks. To be paid here,” Graham said as the two shook hands.
“You’ve got to come to grips with the idea a lot of Americans believe that Trump was a good president, but they don’t like what he did or what he said. But this is going to be a real contest in 2024,” Graham said.
“I just think he’s a pathological liar. And I don’t mean to be harsh because I know he’s your friend — and a malignant narcissist,” Franken said of Trump.
“I don’t know how the American people are going to reelect this guy,” Franken, 71, told Graham.
“Don’t take this wrongly, he can survive your criticism,” Graham responded with a laugh. “’Al Franken is down on Trump’ is not the end of Trump.”

House Republicans plan to hold Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is threatening to hold Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress for failing to supply documents related to an investigation into supposed censorship by tech companies of conservatives.
Rep. Jim Jordan, chair of the Judiciary Committee, said the panel plans to hold a hearing Thursday to vote on a contempt report detailing how Zuckerberg has “willfully refused” to comply with a February subpoena.
The measure is likely to pass the GOP-controlled committee. It would then be up to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to hold a full House vote on the contempt resolution as early as this fall, after the August recess.
If the House were to hold Zuckerberg in contempt, the Justice Department would decide whether to prosecute him.
Andy Stone, a spokesperson for Meta, said the company has delivered more than 50,000 pages of both internal and external documents to the committee since February. He added that they also have made current and former employees available for interviews with lawmakers.
“For many months, Meta has operated in good faith with this committee’s sweeping requests for information,” Stone said in a statement.
Jordan, R-Ohio, issued the subpoenas to the chief executives of the five largest tech companies, including Zuckerberg, shortly after Republicans took over the House in January — looking to make good on a campaign promise to investigate Big Tech’s content moderation, particularly over COVID-19.
The letters were also sent to Sundar Pichai of Alphabet; Satya Nadella of Microsoft; Tim Cook of Apple; and Andy Jassy of Amazon.com. All were asked to turn over any documents related to what they assert is widespread corporate censorship of conservative voices.
Twitter was notably absent from the list of companies subpoenaed. Its owner, Tesla founder Elon Musk, has proven to be more sympathetic to conservatives than Twitter’s previous management, and Republicans in Congress have gone to bat for him. Republicans held hearings in February with former Twitter executives where GOP lawmakers grilled the witnesses about the company’s decision to initially block a New York Post article in October 2020 about the contents of a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden.
Since then, Jordan has put pressure on Meta specifically, even sending a letter last week to Zuckerberg asking for the platform to produce a whole new series of documents related to content moderation on its new app, Threads, a new rival to Twitter.

The partnership is designed to help students maximize opportunities under new NIL law
WACO, Texas, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Student athletes start this school year with new power in determining their own value as marketers and businesspeople. Progage and Startup Waco today launch a new partnership to support Baylor athletes as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of lucrative Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) partnerships for the first time ever, to maximum earnings for the athlete and promotion for the business. The deal leverages Startup Waco's GXG™ program, which offers entrepreneurial and marketing support to student-athletes, which will help them make the most of their newfound earning potential.
Lauren Harrison, a fifth-year Volleyball starter noted, "Progage is going to be so helpful in connecting the dots and identifying the best brands for us as athletes. I want to make sure the brands I partner with are authentic to who I am."
In collaboration with Startup Waco's GXG™ program, Progage will focus on identifying brands and partners, while the incubator focuses on elevating the marketability of Baylor student-athletes through business coaching and resources. Progage is unique in that it has always focused on athletes at all levels of collegiate or professional sports, and not just top-tier athletes and household names. This means Progage can get more deals for more athletes across the board.
The NIL law, enacted on July 1, 2021, gives college athletes the ability to profit off their own name, image, and/or likeness in ways not previously allowed in intercollegiate athletics. The opportunities for student athletes are vast, but unfortunately there are a lot of potential unethical partners looking to lure them into shady deals and unfair negotiations.
To identify the best opportunities for Baylor athletes, and position them for maximum success, Progage will facilitate both local business opportunities and national partners, and negotiate those deals. The goal is a steady pipeline of high quality offers to benefit both athletes and businesses.
"Our goal is to provide Baylor student-athletes with all the resources they need to be successful," said Jon Passavant, CEO of Startup Waco. "Engaging Progage really opens doors on a national level. Progage has the experience and connections to put Baylor athletes in front of the types of companies coveted by student athletes across the country," he added.
Known for bringing equity and opportunities to athletes at all levels of both collegiate and professional sports, Progage offers corporate connections, as well as marketing and personal branding expertise to these athletes as well.
"The opportunities for student athletes are almost unlimited, but unfortunately there are also a lot of pitfalls they need to be aware of," said Kyle Fenner, co-founder of Progage. "While our mission is to continually funnel awesome opportunities from brands who want to invest and believe in them, we will also act as a protector to vet those opportunities that might not be in their best interest."
Founded by Kyle Fenner and NFL tight end Kaden Smith in 2021, Dallas-based Progage is a creative marketing and influencer agency focused on creating meaningful partnerships between athletes and brands. Progage has facilitated hundreds of brand deals, allowing athletes in the Progage network to represent brands like Body Armor, Samsung, Coca Cola, and many more, resulting in millions of impressions across multiple campaigns.. Progage recognizes that, thanks to the undeniable success of social media marketing, brands don't have to limit themselves to top-tier athletes. This unique business model creates opportunities for success for both athletes and businesses of all levels.
Startup Waco is a 501c3 organization formed via collaboration of cross-sector partnerships that aspire to lead Waco's entrepreneurial support efforts and elevate Waco as a hub for business innovation. Designed with an inclusion mindset, Startup Waco champions entrepreneurs of all types by breaking down traditional barriers, collaborating with like-minded institutions and filling gaps. Out of a physical space in downtown Waco, Startup Waco hosts a coworking environment, runs meaningful programs designed to support local businesses and operates as a hub for the Waco business community.

LAGRANGE — A familiar face returned to the LaGrange County Commissioners’ chamber Monday morning to once again answer charges that the property he and his family live on is again in violation of the LaGrange County public nuisance ordinance.
The property, 3445 South C.R. 1145E, is controlled by Gene Neely/ BawldGuy Note Investment Group 1, San Diego, California. Neely and his family live at the home.
Tony Manns, an associate lawyer with the law firm Beers Mallers, conducted a public hearing on the nuisance violation.
Neely has been cited before for violating the county’s nuisance ordnance. He still owes the $4,800 from his last nuisance case.
Bill Stewart, the LaGrange County Code Enforcement officer said he started receiving complaints about Neely’s property last spring. He told the commissioners the property was littered with cars and car parts, construction materials, trash, and other debris that was piled up around the home.
Stewart said he started visiting the property in mid-March and left a notice informing Neely that the property was in violation of the county’s nuisance ordinance.
Steward said he continued to visit the property on an almost weekly basis looking for any signs the violations were being addressed. The matter was continued in June and again in July.
Stewart told the commissioners Monday that Neely has made some progress in recent weeks, moving some of the materials behind a fence, repairing the portions of the wooden fence that collapsed, as well as removing almost all of the car parts and construction materials from his yard.
Stewart said while progress has been made, he still believes there is a problem with the property, citing trash on the home’s front porch. He asked the commissioner to issue a new order imposing a $100 a week fine on Neely for failing to properly care for his property. The fine is retroactive to late March.
Terry Martin, president of the board of commissioners told his fellow commissioners he was frustrated that Neely continues to appear in front of the commissioners for violating county nuisance laws.
“This has been a problem for way too long,” he said. “They don’t care about cleaning stuff up, they don’t care about their neighbors.”
However, Neely told the commissioners he has been busy cleaning up his property. However, he also complained that the nuisance order given to him doesn’t identify the problems that need to be addressed.
“You have me this piece of paper that states the ordinance, but you don’t tell me what the problem is,” he told the commissioners. “The ordinance is very vague. It could go from me not likely a basketball sitting in someone’s yard to anything. So if I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about, how am I supposed to address it.”
Manns then pointed out that the order included a sentence informing Neely that if he had any questions he could contact Stewart directly, and discuss what he needed to be done.
“That’s officer Stewart’s number,” Manns said pointing to a copy of the nuisance violation notice left with Neely. “He’d be happy to come out and walk the property with you and tell you exactly what needs to be done. But you never contacted him, correct?”
Neely did admit he did not.
“I did not read the order,” Neely told Manns.
The commissioners voted 3-0 to impose a $100 a week fine against Neely, retroaction to late March. That fine now stands at $2,000.
In other matters, Tharon Morgan, the LaGrange County engineer, opened bids for a road project to rebuild C.R. 300W from C.R. 200S to 550S. That road is considered one of LaGrange County’s worst. Three bids were submitted by area firms for the job. Those bids were taken under advisement by the county’s highway department.

Happy Friday, everyone!
Landon here - with another theme park scoop newsletter coming into your inbox.
Remember last week when I said that we didn’t know when the Minion Land at Universal Orlando would be opening? Well … ask … and you shall receive, I guess. 🤣 Not long after I sent out the newsletter to you, I got word that the theme park would be soft opening the new land for park guests.
This week, I stepped onto the all-new Illumination Avenue to see what it was all about and, let me tell you, I loved every second of it. The Minion Café is so colorful and funny. The little details are incredible.
Inside, guests of all ages can enjoy inventive, family-friendly fare featuring nearly 20 items inspired by memorable characters and staples from the Minions franchise. Guests can dine in a number of fun and wacky dining locations including the kitchen, breakroom and dining room. Each room has some special touches that you will love. Click here to see the full menu and prices. ☜
Along with the café, the theme park also opened the Freeze Ray and Pop-A-Nana food and beverage locations, the Bake My Day dessert and retail shop and the Illumination Theater. 📸
Have any of you visited the new Minion Land yet? 🤔 What did you think? Let me know by emailing me at lmcreynolds@wkmg.com.
Tune into next week’s newsletter as I talk about some of my favorite foods!
Flavors of Florida 🍊
This week, I got the chance to preview the upcoming “Flavors of Florida” event coming to Disney Springs.
The annual event celebrates some of the delicious flavors that are grown here in Florida at more than 30 restaurants across the entertainment complex. This year it runs from July 1 through Aug. 13. There are a TON of new food and drinks that have been whipped up for this year’s event, but something else that makes this unique is the new culinary series featuring some of the renowned chefs. During the media event this week, I had the chance to hear from chefs José Andrés and Art Smith. 👨🍳
During Tuesday’s culinary demonstration, José Andrés talked about some of his passion behind cooking along with some of his favorite flavors and dishes. He also cooked up one of his favorite dishes: paella! I had the chance to hear Chef Art Smith’s inspiring story and taste some of his cooking at his restaurant Homecomin’. This all-new culinary series is happening at Waterview Park next to the Boathouse.
You will need to register to attend these events. The next one is Wine Bar George on July 7!
😋 Here is a full map for Flavors of Florida.
Summer concerts🎵
How many of you have visited SeaWorld Orlando’s Summer Spectacular yet? The summer celebration immerses guests in exhilarating attractions, animal encounters, delicious food and drinks and a fantastic nighttime spectacular. If that list sounds good - get ready! This week, SeaWorld Orlando announced that it will be adding a summer concert series on Saturdays and Sundays! 🎶 Some big names are scheduled to perform including Rodney Atkins, Jesse McCartney and Maddie & Tae. The best part … it’s all FREE with park admission. I have posted the full concert lineup schedule here. Who is ready to rock out!?
Adults! Don’t forget, before you hit up the concert grab a free beer at the Waterway Grill. 🍻 SeaWorld Orlando pass members get two drinks during their visit.
Zoo and zombie talk 🧟
How many of you listen to podcasts during the week? I love to put them on sometimes on the way home from work.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has a new web series you might want to check out. It’s being called “Wild Encounters.” 🎧 The new series is all about the more than 12,000 animals that call the park home and the animal care experts who take care of them. During the first episode that dropped this week, two animal care specialists talked about some of the animals on the park’s Serengeti Plain. They also talked about the newest baby rhino named Potato. This new web series only builds on the park’s efforts to educate its fans about what’s happening in the park.
Speaking of Busch Gardens - a quick update on its Howl-O-Scream event this fall. How does a zombie Elvis Presley in Sin City sound in a scare zone? 🧟♂️ Well … it’s happening. Tickets are now on sale.
Red, White & BOOM! 🎆
If the family is looking for 4th of July plans, look to Legoland Florida Resort. The resort rolled out some exciting details about its Red, White & BOOM! celebration. 🎇 It’s happening for three days and nights, running July 2-4. Guests can enjoy exciting daytime events including dance parties and a scavenger hunt, delicious patriotic food and beverage options and a firework show that has exploding LEGO bricks!
On top of all that, the theme park announced that one of my favorite characters, Shark Suit Guy, 🦈 is coming back for the Summer Block Party! This event is one you can’t miss this summer.
Water drop update 💧
It’s going to be a little longer before many of us get to experience some of the new neighborhoods coming to EPCOT. World Celebration and World Nature are currently behind 👷 construction walls, but Disney Imagineers are pulling back the curtain this week on one all-new attraction. During the walk through experience, “Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana,” guests will learn about the natural water cycle in an engaging way. This week, Imagineers shared two photos showing some of the interactive elements being tested out. 💦 Right now, we know this new experience will be opening to all guests sometime this fall.
It’s all part of EPCOT’s historic transformation.
Adorable additions 😊
Finally this week, I had to share this adorable story about some new additions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. 🐒 The theme park is celebrating the arrival of twin cotton-top tamarin monkeys. These small and critically endangered monkeys are some of the smallest in the world. Walt Disney World said they were born on June 12 and are hanging on as mom and dad swing around the habitat. I posted a few more photos of these two babies in the article. You can find them in their habitat near Creature Comforts (Starbucks) at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
That will wrap things up from me this week.
I hope you have a fantastic and safe weekend.
Talk to you all soon -

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday denied a U.S request for a consular visit to Evan Gershkovich, an American reporter for The Wall Street Journal who is jailed on espionage charges.
The ministry said it rejected the request for the May 11 visit in retaliation for the U.S. refusing to grant visas to Russian journalists who planned to accompany Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on a trip to the United Nations.
Gershkovich has been in custody since his March 29 arrest by Russia’s security service on espionage charges that he, his employer and the U.S. government have denied.
Gershkovich is the first U.S. correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia on spying charges, and his arrest rattled journalists in the country and drew outrage in the West.
The United States has declared Gershkovich to be “wrongfully detained” and demanded his immediate release.
The Russian denial of the U.S. request for a consular visit to Gershkovich followed Lavrov warning that Moscow “will not forget and will not forgive” the denial of the visas to Russian journalists.
The Foreign Ministry said Friday it was also considering other retaliatory measures.
“A protest note was presented in connection with the provocative conduct of the U.S. diplomatic mission, which thwarted the issuing of visas to mass media representatives from the press pool of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who were supposed to accompany him on his trip to New York as part of Russia’s presidency of the U.N. Security Council,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“The U.S. Embassy was informed in this connection that its request for consular access to U.S. citizen Gershkovich, detained on suspicion of espionage, on May 11 was declined,” the ministry statement said. “Other possible retaliatory measures, about which the U.S. side will be duly notified, are being considered.”

‘I swam forever’: Son swims to rescue mother from flooded home after Hurricane Ian
FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. (CNN) - As Floridians begin to fully grasp the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Ian, stories of heroism are emerging.
Johnny Lauder said he waded through nearly half a mile of flooded streets to rescue his mother as the waters rose inside her home.
“I swam forever. I just wanted to get there. I knew time was of the essence,” Lauder said.
He said he pushed his mother’s wheelchair through the flood waters to get her to dry land.
“She’s warm, she’s safe and that’s all that matters,” Lauder said.
Federal, state, and local agencies, along with volunteers, continue their work on the ground in Florida, from rescues to helping start the rebuild.
Some island communities remain cut off from the mainland, but Florida Department of Transportation workers are working on a temporary bridge to reconnect Pine Island.
“This is not necessarily going to be a bridge you’re going to want to go 45 miles per hour over maybe, but at least you’ll have connectivity to the mainland,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Supreme Court has upheld a decision removing a probate judge from office who was accused of racist and sexually inappropriate behavior that included showing an explicit video to an employee and making inappropriate comments after George Floyd's murder by a police officer.
“The record indicates that Judge Jinks made multiple racist and racially insensitive comments, engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct, engaged in inappropriate acts of anger and use of profanity,” justices wrote.
The Alabama Court of the Judiciary, the panel tasked with hearing ethics complaints against judges, last year ruled that Jinks failed to uphold the integrity and independence of the court system. The initial complaint against Jinks included that he made derogatory comments about women and African Americans, including references to Floyd, whose death sparked nationwide protests.
The panel ruled that there was clear and convincing evidence that Jinks had displayed inappropriate behavior that included showing an explicit video to an employee; asking an attorney if he knew of an acronym involving a racial slur; asking a Black employee if he was selling drugs after he purchased a new car; and other inappropriate comments.
Jinks denied most of the claims and blamed workers for misinterpreting jokes. He appealed the decision, but the Supreme Court ruled there was evidence to support his removal from office.
“Those acts were not isolated but occurred on a number of occasions while Judge Jinks was in the probate office acting in his capacity as the probate judge. Those acts were numerous enough to establish a pattern of objectionable behavior on the part of Judge Jinks,” the court wrote.
Amanda Hardy, an attorney representing Jinks, issued a statement saying they respect the decision but “believe the judgement was inconsistent with the evidence adduced at trial.”
“The system has been abused by a few individuals, and the Judicial Inquiry Commission’s prosecution and the Court of the Judiciary’s charging decisions now allows for great risks for all judges of all races and political parties in this state,” Hardy wrote in an email.
Her statement added: “These governmental agencies have substantial power to discriminate based on the content or viewpoint of speech by suppressing disfavored speech or disliked speakers.”

The US economy grew by 2.9% in the fourth quarter, more than expected
By Alicia Wallace, CNN
The US economy expanded again during the fourth quarter, registering solid growth to end 2022 even as consumers and businesses battled inflation and historically high interest rates.
Gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic activity — increased at an annualized rate of 2.9% from October to December last year, according to Commerce Department data released Thursday. For 2022, GDP expanded 2.1%, the report showed.
Last quarter’s 2.9% expansion, while a step back from the 3.2% annualized growth seen in the third quarter, represents continued improvement on the first half of the year when GDP shrank. Those two back-to-back quarters of contraction set off alarm bells, since the declines marked a symbolic threshold for a rule-of-thumb, but unofficial, definition of a recession.
However, 2022 was a year of transition as the economy continued to recover from the pandemic. Imbalances in trade and inventories had an outsized effect on the GDP data in the earlier parts of the year.
But businesses have since readjusted to snarls in the supply chain, and consumers have shifted their spending away from furniture, bikes and other goods and toward services like travel and dining out.
The robust economic growth registered during the fourth quarter was mostly fueled by a “shockingly resilient consumer,” said John Leer, chief economist of Morning Consult.
However, there are signs that’s starting to wane, he said.
“Consumers are increasingly struggling to navigate the ongoing effects from the spike in prices last year by drawing on credit and savings,” he said. “With consumer demand likely to continue its downward trajectory, business investment is also likely to slow in the coming quarters, increasing the probability of a recession this year.”
Economists were expecting fourth-quarter GDP to grow at an annualized adjusted rate of 2.6%, according to Refinitiv.
Thursday’s GDP figures are the first of three official estimates to be released by the Commerce Department for the fourth quarter. GDP data is often revised, sometimes years later.
This story is developing and will be updated.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Addressing mental health is a top priority for the Twin Falls School District and for Twin Falls law enforcement.
"We are responding to more calls of people in crisis, and that includes our teen population," said Lori Stewart, victim's coordinator and public information officer for the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office.
Stewart says that increase includes calls related to suicide.
"We've definitely seen an increase this year in suicidal calls, people who are actively suicidal that we have to take into the emergency room and have them be evaluated there and get them assistance or friends calling to check up on somebody because they believe they are in crisis,” she said.
This year, Stewart said, the Twin Falls School District has already lost one teen to suicide. Four died by suicide in 2022, one in 2021, and three in 2020. To help, the district released a new mental health tool for all students, families, and staff members.
Twin Falls School District’s Public Relations Director, Eva Craner says, "We want to make sure that we are providing the support to the whole family. Because parents and families have an impact to that individual student," Twin Falls S.D. public relations director Eva Craner said.
Craner also said there’s an ongoing state provider shortage. The shortage encouraged them to seek a different option for the district.
"We were really looking for solutions for 'how do we get a tool in parents' hands so that they can schedule an appointment for their child if they need it and that is where care sales came in to play,” Craner said.
When searching for a tool. Craner says it was important for them to make accessing mental health as easy as possible.
"This program allows parents to call in or access via the website and see all the providers. If they call in they will be in touch with a healthcare navigator who calls the providers to see who has the earliest appointment and gets that scheduled for the family, rather than the parent do all that leg work, which we have heard it's been really challenging,” Craner said. "Mental health and wellness is one of our focus areas for both staff and students in our five-year strategic plan, so it's a big deal for everyone."

PENDLETON, Ind. — A former Central Indiana high school counselor has filed a federal lawsuit against her old school claiming her constitutional rights were violated when she was fired and accused of lying about student gender plans.
Kathy McCord, a former counselor at Pendleton Heights High School in Madison County, had her teaching contract terminated in March after a unanimous vote from the South Madison Community School Corporation board.
Now, McCord has filed a federal lawsuit against the school corporation demanding that a jury trial be held regarding the events of her dismissal and an ensuing controversy that centered around the school district’s policies regarding student gender identity.
Background
McCord claims she was disciplined by the school district after disagreeing with and speaking publicly about an apparent plan to withhold information from parents about a student’s preferred pronouns.
This sparked controversy within the community, with the school board holding several meetings open to the public regarding McCord. Meetings in both February and early March had several community members attend in both support of and against McCord.
At a meeting on March 9, school board members voted 7-0 to fire her.
Board members said McCord provided documents to a publication, The Daily Signal, regarding the school’s alleged student gender plans. The board went on to claim that the documents had been edited and that McCord provided a Daily Signal reporter with misleading statements.
The school board then provided, for the first time, 100 printed copies of what they said is the district’s official plan regarding student gender support. To view that copy, click here.
The following day, the school board released what they called a factual basis for their decision, which can be viewed here.
At the time of the board’s decision, Kathy McCord and her family did not release any comment. The reporter who wrote the article in question, Tony Kinnett, vehemently denied the allegations.
Lawsuit
On Thursday, May 18, Kathy McCord filed a lawsuit against the South Madison Community School Corporation in the US District Court for Indiana’s Southern District.
“South Madison Community School Corporation fired school counselor Kathy McCord, despite her decades of stellar service to Pendleton’s students, because she spoke to a reporter about South Madison’s controversial policy regarding students’ gender identity,” the lawsuit reads.
Documents filed Thursday argue that McCord, like all public employees, did not surrender her First Amendment rights when she became employed by the school district. Furthermore, the suit claims that by firing her, the school board violated McCord’s constitutional rights.
The lawsuit goes on to say that McCord objected to the school’s student gender policies for “good reason” and posed questions such as “Can a person change sexes?” and “What does it mean to be a boy or a girl?” that were not answered by the school board.
Attorneys for McCord are arguing that, as a private citizen, she attempted to spark a debate about a community controversy. They say South Madison “tried to short circuit” that discussion.
In addition to the First Amendment, the lawsuit claims that McCord’s 14th Amendment rights were violated and her firing “raises claims under Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act”.
Finally, the suit asks the Court to issue an injunction requiring McCord to be reinstated and to require South Madison to repay any money she may have lost as a result of her termination.
On Thursday, the Alliance Defending Freedom group confirmed that ADF attorneys will be representing McCord in the lawsuit.
“No educator should be fired for expressing her beliefs, especially when she speaks in her personal capacity, on her own time, and out of concern for her students,” said ADF Senior Counsel Vincent Wagner.

Hurricane Fiona left hundreds of people stranded across Puerto Rico after smashing roads and bridges, with authorities still struggling to reach people four days after the storm smacked the U.S. territory, causing historic flooding.Video above: 'Large and intense' Category 4 Hurricane Fiona nears BermudaFor now, government officials are working with religious groups, nonprofits and others braving landslides, thick mud and broken asphalt by foot to provide food, water and medicine for people in need, but they are under pressure to clear a path so vehicles can enter isolated areas soon.Nino Correa, commissioner for Puerto Rico’s emergency management agency, estimated that at least six municipalities across the island had areas that were cut off by Fiona, which struck as a Category 1 hurricane and was up to Category 4 power Wednesday as it headed toward Bermuda.Living in one of those areas is Manuel Veguilla, who has not been able to leave his neighborhood in the north mountain town of Caguas since Fiona swept in on Sunday.“We are all isolated,” he said, adding that he worries about elderly neighbors including his older brother who does not have the strength for the long walk it takes to reach the closest community.Veguilla heard that municipal officials might open a pathway Thursday, but he doubted that would happen because he said large rocks covered a nearby bridge and the 10-foot space beneath it.Video below: Video shows damage to Puerto Rico from Hurricane FionaNeighbors have shared food and water dropped off by nonprofit groups, and the son of an elderly woman was able to bring back basic supplies by foot Wednesday, he said.Veguilla said that in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm that struck five years ago and resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths, he and others used picks and shovels to clear the debris. But Fiona was different, unleashing huge landslides.“I cannot throw those rocks over my shoulder,” he said.Like hundreds of thousands of other Puerto Ricans after Fiona, Veguilla had no water or electricity service, but said they there is a natural water source nearby.Fiona sparked an islandwide blackout when it hit Puerto Rico's southwest region, which already was still trying to recover from a series of strong earthquakes in recent years. Some 62% of 1.47 million customers were without power four days after the storm amid an extreme heat alert issued by the National Weather Service. Some 36% of customers, or nearly half a million, did not have water service.The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent hundreds of additional personnel to help local officials as the federal government approved a major disaster declaration and announced a public health emergency on the island.Neither local nor federal government officials had provided any damage estimates as Puerto Rico struggles to recover from the storm, which dropped up to 30 inches of rain in some areas. More than 470 people and 48 pets remained in shelters.“Our hearts go out to the people of Puerto Rico who have endured so much suffering over the last couple of years,” said Brad Kieserman, vice president of operations and logistics at the Red Cross.After Puerto Rico, Fiona pummeled the Dominican Republic and then swiped past the Turks and Caicos Islands as it strengthened into a Category 4 storm. Officials there reported relatively light damage and no deaths, though the eye of the storm passed close to Grand Turk, the small British territory’s capital island, on Tuesday.“God has been good to us and has kept us safe during this period when we could have had a far worse outcome,” Deputy Gov. Anya Williams said.Fiona was forecast to pass near Bermuda early Friday, and then hit easternmost Canada early Saturday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.The center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph on Thursday morning. It was centered about 485 miles southwest of Bermuda, heading north-northeast at 13 mph.The hurricane was forecast to pass just west of Bermuda late Thursday.

Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed early Saturday that his forces had crossed into Russia from Ukraine, where they have played a crucial role in the war. The video posted on social media was the first confirmation that he was in Rostov.
He has long feuded with the Defense Ministry and late Friday claimed that the defense minister had ordered an attack on his field camps in Ukraine.
