The FBI and Justice Department recently disrupted the activities of a hacking group that was sponsored by the North Korean government and that targeted U.S. hospitals with ransomware. The agencies were able to recover half a million dollars in ransom payments. That's according to Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. She revealed new details of the attacks during a speech in New York on Tuesday. She encouraged organizations hit by ransomware to report the crime to law enforcement, both so that officials can investigate and so that they can help victim companies try to get ransom payments back. In one case, Monaco said, a Kansas hospital that paid a ransom last year after being attacked by ransomware also contacted the FBI, which traced the payment and identified China-based money launderers who assisted the North Korean hackers in cashing out the illicit proceeds. The FBI recovered half a million dollars, including the entire ransom payment from the hospital, the Associated Press reported.

(KTLA) — A man in California is without a bicycle after another man took the bike he claimed was his in a violent altercation Sunday. In video shared with KTLA, one man can be seen riding a bike around midday and pulling a cart loaded down with luggage in an alley in Venice. As the cyclist hears another man yell, “Give me my bike!” he slows down and stops to refute the other man’s assertion. As the cyclist begins to make his case, the other man, who is armed with what appears to be a stick or pipe, strikes the luggage with his weapon. As the armed man repeatedly shouts “Give me my bike!” along with profanities, he grabs at the bike’s handlebars, causing the cyclist to fall to the ground. The man with the weapon then pulls the bike away from the cyclist and begins to walk away with it as passersby try to intervene on behalf of the man on the ground. As the confrontation exits the screen, the cyclist remains lying on the ground, appearing confused. It remains unclear if the cyclist got the bicycle back or if the second man was correct in asserting that the bike was his. The Los Angeles Police Department did not have any information to share on the incident.

By ADAM SCHRECK and FOSTER KLUG Associated Press NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) — Members of the Group of 20 leading economies ended their summit Wednesday with a declaration of firm condemnation of the war in Ukraine and a warning that the conflict is making an already delicate world economy worse. The summit’s closing statement was noteworthy because world leaders managed to highlight a denunciation of the war despite the divisions among the group, which includes not only Russia but also countries such as China and India that have significant trade ties with Moscow and have stopped short of outright criticism of the war. “Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy,” the statement said. The use of the words “most members” was a telling sign of the divisions, as was an acknowledgement that “there were other views and different assessments” and that the G-20 is “not the forum to resolve security issues.” Even so, the statement’s use of language from a March U.N. resolution that deplored “in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine” and demanded “its complete and unconditional withdrawal” from Ukrainian territory was a “big breakthrough,” according to John Kirton, director of the G20 Research Group. “Here the G-20 left no doubt about who it knew had started the war and how it should end,” he said in an interview. He noted an “active shift” by China and India, which joined the “democratic side of the great immediate geopolitical divide.” The conflict in Ukraine loomed large over the two-day summit held on the tropical island of Bali in Indonesia. News early Wednesday of an explosion that rocked eastern Poland prompted U.S. President Joe Biden to hastily arrange an emergency meeting with G-7 and NATO members at the summit. Biden said it was “unlikely” Russia fired the missile but added: “I’m going to make sure we find out exactly what happened.” Poland and NATO’s head said later Wednesday the missile strike appeared to be unintentional and was probably launched by air defenses in Ukraine as Russia was bombarding the country in an attack that savaged its power grid. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, however, disputed the preliminary findings and asked for further investigation. Russia denied involvement. Biden was joined at the G-20 by leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend. On Tuesday, Russia pounded Ukrainian cities with dozens of missile strikes in its biggest barrage yet on the country’s energy facilities, which have been repeatedly struck as winter approaches. Sunak, speaking to reporters at the close of the meeting, called the attacks “the cruel and unrelenting reality of Putin’s war.” “While other world leaders were working together to tackle the greatest challenges our people face, Putin was launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Ukraine,” Sunak said. The war, he added, will “continue to devastate the global economy.” The careful wording of the final G-20 statement reflected tensions at the gathering and the challenge faced by the United States and its allies as they try to isolate Putin’s government. Several G-20 members, including host Indonesia, are wary of becoming entangled in disputes between bigger powers. Indonesian President Joko Widodo told reporters that the portion of the declaration dealing with the war was the most contentious part of the negotiations and that discussions were “very, very tough.” The final product was seen by some as a strong rebuke of a war that has killed thousands, heightened global security tensions and disrupted the world economy. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the G-20 summit’s “surprisingly clear words” on Ukraine “wouldn’t have been possible if important countries hadn’t helped us to come together this way — that includes India and it also includes, for example, South Africa.” “This is something which shows that there are many in the world who don’t think this war is right, who condemn it, even if they abstained in the votes at the United Nations for various reasons,” Scholz said. “And I am sure that this is one of the results of this summit: the Russian president stands almost alone in the world with his policy.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who led the Russian delegation in place of Putin, denounced the Biden administration push to condemn Moscow. China’s support for a public statement critical of Russia surprised some. Beijing likely did so because Chinese President Xi Jinping “doesn’t want to back a loser” after Russia’s defeat in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, said Kirton, the analyst. “He knows he needs G-20 cooperation to address the many growing vulnerabilities that China now confronts,” from climate change to the pandemic to the nation’s “financial fragility of its over-leveraged housing and property markets.” The G-20 was founded in 1999 originally as a forum to address economic challenges. It includes Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. Spain holds a permanent guest seat. The 16-page statement also expressed deep concern on a range of issues, including food and energy crises made worse by the war in Ukraine. The leaders said that amid food shortages and rising prices they’d take “urgent actions to save lives, prevent hunger and malnutrition, particularly to address the vulnerabilities of developing countries.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed hope that a vital deal brokered by Turkey and the U.N. to export Ukrainian grain would be extended before it expires Sunday. The July deal allowed major grain producer Ukraine to resume exports from ports that had been largely blocked because of the war. “As of now, I am of the opinion that the (grain agreement) will continue,” Erdogan said. “As soon as we return, we will continue our talks, especially with Mr. Putin. Because the way to peace is through dialogue.” The emergency meeting Wednesday included the leaders of the G-7, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union, along with the president of the European Council and the prime ministers of NATO allies Spain and the Netherlands. Biden held a separate meeting later with Sunak, in their first extended conversation since the British leader took office last month. “We’re going to continue to support Ukraine as long as Russia continues their aggression,” Biden said alongside Sunak, adding that he was “glad we’re on the same page” in backing Ukraine. Biden said the leaders condemned the latest Russian attacks, which have caused widespread blackouts. “The moment when the world came together at the G-20 to urge de-escalation, Russia continues to escalate in Ukraine, while we’re meeting,” Biden said. ___ Associated Press writers Seung Min Kim, Zeke Miller and Niniek Karmini in Nusa Dua and Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report.

China's Xi voices support for talks to resolve international disputes, opposes use of sanctions Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said sanctions 'only exacerbate conflicts' Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday that his government supports talks to resolve international disputes. He said China remains "committed to respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries" and non-interference in their internal affairs. Xi also decried "wanton use" of sanctions. "We stay committed to peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultation, support all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of crises, reject double standards, and oppose the wanton use of unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction," Xi said in a televised address. China has maintained its support for Russia despite the war in Ukraine and has refused to call the conflict an invasion. It claimed Russia was provoked by NATO’s expansion. It has also abstained or voted with Russia on recent proposals brought before the United Nations. China says it maintains normal economic ties between the countries, even as other nations have imposed economic sanctions on Russia. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Thursday that China has "always opposed unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction that lack a basis in international law and are not authorized by the (United Nations) Security Council." LLOYD AUSTIN MEETS WITH CHINESE COUNTERPART, ENDING 15-MONTH SILENT STREAK "Sanctions are not the right way to de-escalate tensions, end wars or avoid casualties, but will only exacerbate conflicts, increase spillover and make the world pay more," he said. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Chinese counterpart on Wednesday for the first time since taking up the post more than a year ago. Austin, who calls China the U.S. military’s leading long-term challenge, requested the telephone conversation with Gen. Wei Fenghe after months of failed efforts to speak with Gen. Xu Qiliang, the highest ranking uniformed officer in the Communist Party military structure. Notably, Xi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin less than a month before the Feb. 24 invasion. Both countries then issued a joint statement affirming their "no limits" relationship. Earlier this month, China said that its military staged exercises in areas opposite Taiwan in response to a meeting between U.S. lawmakers and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. The lawmakers also visited Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The trips come amid continued fears that China may move to invade Taiwan. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Taiwan and China split during a civil war in 1949, but China claims the island as its own territory. In addition, North Korea tested intercontinental ballistic missiles in March, prompting the U.S. to impose sanctions on five North Korean entities and Japan to issue its own penalties.

Delta Air Lines executives say they’re not seeing the drop in average airfares that federal officials believe are contributing to lower inflation. The Labor Department’s latest consumer price index this week showed average airfares falling 8% from May to June on a seasonally adjusted basis. “We’re not seeing the same, and it’s a different data point than what we have,” Delta President Glen Hauenstein said on the airline’s second-quarter earnings call. He dismissed the Labor Department’s methodology as a “ample of a sample.” Analysts agreed with Delta’s assessment. JPMorgan’s Jamie Baker said the government figure excludes corporate and most premium travel and is drawn heavily from discount-airline service. He blamed the CPI number for causing airline stocks to fall Wednesday, when the Labor Department report came out. Delta executives seemed far more willing to accept the Labor Department’s calculation that average fares last month were 19% lower than they were in June of last year. CEO Ed Bastian said it is important to remember that at this time last year, many people were just beginning to travel after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, but airlines weren’t yet fully staffed. As a result, demand was far stronger than supply. “People didn’t care where they were going or how much they spent. They just wanted to go someplace,” he said. “We were seeing fares up 30%, 40%, 50%” for some domestic flights. “That’s obviously not sustainable.” The Labor Department’s monthly CPI report indicated that lower prices for airline tickets, gasoline and used cars in June helped produce the lowest inflation since early 2021 — 3% compared with a year earlier.

SAN ANTONIO — By the numbers the UTSA Baseball team has won seventy five percent of their games to this point. Their overall record is (28-9) with one month left in the regular season. The Roadrunners were left disappointed and out of the NCAA Tournament field last year, so improving their RPI, currently 39th in the midweek, is the mission between now and the Conference USA Tournament. "I know we are good," said Head Coach Patrick Hallmark. "I don't mind saying that. We are a good team," he continued. "I'm not surprised we're good. I'm with these guys every single day. They are good at baseball." UTSA fell short Tuesday night in the I-35 series with Texas State visiting the 'Bird Bath', but optimism is still high as UTSA is currently at the top of the C-USA standings. The Roadrunners are inside the Top 25 this week, and those are the sorts of things that can impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee next month. "Obviously the committee makes their decisions," said infielder Leyton Barry. "All we can do is play the games that are in front of us." The Roadrunners hit the road this week for three at Florida International starting Friday night in Miami. "We wanna kinda sneak into the top twenty five of the RPI (rankings)," said catcher Josh Killeen. "I think would guarantee us a shot into regionals." Barry that the time is now to leave no doubt that UTSA belongs in the post season field of sixty four. "We as players just focus on the games in front of us, and we know have an important stretch right here and now that we can go show what we are about. That's exactly what we are gonna do." The Roadrunners play six of their next seven on the road. #BirdsUp

The redesigned 2024 Ford Ranger sails into U.S. showrooms this summer, and when it arrives there will be a fire-breathing Ranger Raptor available for the first time. The Ranger Raptor already offers plenty of performance in stock form thanks to a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 pumping out 405 hp, but there will likely be some buyers left unsatisfied, even with this rating. Hennessey Performance has a solution in the form of its 2024 VelociRaptor 500 Ranger upgrade revealed on Tuesday. As the name suggests, the upgrade takes power up to the 500-hp level, which it achieves via a high-flow intake, a larger intercooler, and engine management software. The mechanical package is the same as Hennessey’s VelociRaptor 500 Bronco upgrade for the Bronco Raptor, which Hennessey launched last year. According to the company, the Ranger Raptor is lighter than the Bronco Raptor, resulting in an agile truck. “The VelociRaptor 500 Ranger is an excellent choice for the pickup enthusiast who doesn’t need the capacity of our full-size VelociRaptor 600 F-150,” John Hennessey, Hennessey’s CEO and founder, said in a statement. “The mid-size pickup is incredibly capable and very agile.” Also included in the upgrade is a blow-off valve, custom bumpers, LED driving lights, body graphics, and Hennessey’s own 18-inch wheel design wrapped in 35-inch off-road tires. Items for the interior include head rests with a “Hennessey” script, custom floor mats, and a numbered build plaque. These upgrades are joined by the Ranger Raptor’s standard 10-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive system with locking front and rear differentials. The mid-size performance pickup also comes with Fox’s 2.5-inch Live Valve internal bypass shocks. Hennessey is still developing the 2024 VelociRaptor 500 Ranger. The company expects to start deliveries in the fourth quarter. The price of the upgrade is $24,950. With the 2024 Ranger Raptor starting at $56,960, with shipping, you’re looking at a total speed of at least $81,910.

An armed teen was was arrested in Hoboken Tuesday afternoon and charged with stealing a woman’s purse, authorities said. The purse-snatching occurred in the area of Second and Grand streets, Hoboken Lt. Jonathan Mecka said. The teen, whose name and age were withheld because he’s a minor, was taken into custody a short time after the incident. When he was caught, the teen was found in possession of the victim’s purse and a firearm. He was charged with theft from a person, and weapon possession, said Mecka, who added that the firearm was not used in the theft.

Before Tatiana Maslany played She-Hulk, she was starred in Orphan Black, a modern sci-fi classic. Orphan Black is best watched without knowing too much going in. Just know that Maslany won an Emmy for the unbelievable amount of work she put into the five seasons, including becoming a producer later on. If you're lucky enough to live in Australia, you can watch on streaming service Stan. Folks in the US will unfortunately have to pay for the show, after it was removed from Prime Video. The show begins when Sarah Manning, a British con-artist who wears The Clash T-shirts, witnesses a woman jump in front of a train. The twist: this woman looks exactly like her. Are they long-lost identical twins? Or is something stranger going on? Sarah is sucked into a conspiracy involving scientific institutes, religious orders and a covert military operation. A single mom, she tackles it all with a spit-fire attitude that occasionally gets her into even more trouble. Orphan Black invests deeply in its multiple characters, clearly chiselling out their lives in the Toronto setting. Felix (Jordan Gavaris) is the charming counterpoint to Sarah's wildness, a gay painter and sex worker who puts up with the insane, life-threatening bad guys Sarah unintentionally leads to his doorstep. Donny (Kristian Bruun) is a standout as a bumbling husband who's the epitome of getting into situations where you're in over your head. A sugar-obsessed assassin, cutthroat soccer mom, whip-smart scientist and more enrich the population of this multilayered world. The characters ensure Orphan Black shines: Amid the occasional stark violence, cool science and chilly cinematography, these loveable, underdog heroes bring a cluelessness that charms your socks off. It all results in brilliant hilarity. When Orphan Black premiered on BBC America in 2013, it arrived as a fully formed package, a slick bundle of tension-loaded writing, polished visuals and a memorable supporting cast. Admittedly, the best moments are front-loaded in seasons 1 and 2, but the entire five-season run enriches its world of scientists, police detectives and military operatives. And its soundtrack: Any soundtrack worthy of a Spotify playlist is a box ticker. I Got You Babe is perfectly timed over an assassin smiling at Sarah, murder flashing in her eyes. The Clash and New Order join tracks from local Canadian bands vibing out of their garages in the Toronto setting. We haven't even covered Orphan Black's bigger themes. That's because the nature vs. nurture debate, identity and ownership over one's body are delivered with the entertainment factor notched up to 100. You barely realize how deep the bigger issues become until you're already there. Put plainly, Orphan Black is a must-see sci-fi gem. It saw Maslany gain much-deserved recognition and a role in a Marvel series. Go back and see where it all began.

In the thick of Kansas’ contentious debate over abortion rights, the anonymous text messages arriving on the eve of the big referendum this week seemed clear enough. “Voting YES on the Amendment will give women a choice.” The only problem: It was a lie, transmitted by text message Monday, a day before voters were to decide a ballot amendment seen as the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Voters in the conservative state with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement ended up rejecting the measure. “We’ve certainly seen dirty tricks, but never this level of deception aimed to make people vote the opposite way than they intend to,” said Davis Hammet, president of Loud Light, a youth voter registration and engagement organization in Kansas. The misleading texts sent to Kansas Democrats highlights the growing problem of political disinformation sent by automated text message, a ubiquitous communication system that presents new opportunities for those who would attempt to deceive voters. To be sure, ballot initiatives are often confounding — sometimes by design, so voters will support a measure they actually oppose. But text messages are emerging as an increasingly popular means of spreading disinformation about voting and elections. That reflects a broader embrace of texting by political campaigns and organizations, a trend that accelerated when the pandemic forced campaigns to find new ways to engage with voters. People in the United States received nearly 6 billion political texts in 2021, according to an analysis by RoboKiller, a mobile phone app that lets users block text and voice spam. That’s after a steady rise throughout the 2020 election that saw political spam texts increase by 20% a month. “There’s been an explosion of political text messages since 2020 and since then the political messages have stuck around,” said RoboKiller’s vice president, Giulia Porter. Two days after the 2020 election, thousands of anonymous texts were sent to supporters of then-President Donald Trump, stating that election officials in Philadelphia were rigging the vote. The text urged the recipients to show up where ballots were being counted to “show their support” for Trump. The anonymous texts were later linked to a texting company run by one of Trump’s top campaign officials. The same year, someone used text messages to spread false rumors of a national COVID-19 lockdown. Federal officials later blamed a foreign government for trying to stoke fear and division. Text messages can offer specific advantages over social media when it comes to disseminating misinformation without leaving tracks, according to Darren Linvill, a Clemson University professor who researches disinformation techniques. People also view text messages in a different way than social media, Linvill said. Social media is designed to reach the widest audience possible, but text messages are sent to particular phone numbers. That suggests the sender knows the recipient in some way and is specifically targeting that person. “People aren’t as used to distrusting information on a text message,” Linvill said. “It’s more personal. Someone out there has your phone number and they’re reaching out to touch you with this information.” While large social media companies have had varying success in curbing misinformation on their platforms, text messages are unmoderated. Because they aim for maximum exposure, disinformation campaigns using social media are easier to spot, study and expose, while text messages are private, one-to-one communications. Software allowing groups to send hundreds or thousands of texts using fake numbers makes it even more difficult to find out the identity of the sender. The texts sent in Kansas used a messaging platform made by Twilio, a San Francisco-based communications company. Twilio would not identify the customer who sent the texts, but a spokesman said the sender had been suspended from its service for violating its rules on disinformation. The ballot amendment asked Kansans to decide on a proposed change to the state constitution that would clear the way for its Republican-controlled Legislature to more strictly regulate or ban abortion. A “yes” vote would have supported amending the constitution to remove the right to abortion. A “no” vote opposed amending the state constitution, maintaining a right to abortion. Lindsay Ford, the associate director of a Kansas nonprofit voter engagement group called The Voter Network, noted that the texts came at a critical time, when someone looking to manipulate voters might have the best chance of succeeding. “This is when voters who aren’t super engaged start to pay attention, in the last couple of days before the election,” Ford said. “So if they’re looking for something and haven’t seen information anywhere else and that was the first or only text they received, I can see how that could lead people down the wrong path.”

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — As Democrats and Republicans spar over this year’s annual defense spending bill, the biggest obstacle is the current COVID-19 vaccine mandate on military service members. Republicans are threatening to block the bill unless Democrats end the vaccine mandate. In the House, Democrats announced a deal to repeal the mandate Tuesday afternoon, The Hill reports. In the Senate, the issue remained up for debate. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is among the group of senators pushing to scrap the provision. “That ought to be your choice,” Cruz said. “So that we stop the Biden administration from firing active duty military if they decline to take the COVID vaccine.” On Tuesday, Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., signaled he’s making little progress. “We’re at a pretty significant impasse,” McConnell said. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., justified the policy. “We’re still working on the bill,” Schumer said. “COVID vaccines have saved lives. The military has requirements about other vaccines for decades and there hasn’t been a problem.” After consulting with the Pentagon, the White House said it supports keeping the requirement, “to keep our service members safe,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. But John Bowes, an Air Force pilot who is one of thousands of military officers who refused to take the vaccine, is urging Democrats to reconsider. He said — while he doesn’t speak for the military — he thinks Congress should not only end the rule, but reinstate service members who were discharged as a result. “We need to find some way to make this right,” Bowes said. “I’m not fighting this because I want to get out the military, I’m not fighting this because I want to stick it to anybody, I simply just want to continue to do my job and live my dream.” Lawmakers have until the end of the year to find a solution before current military funding runs out. Republicans argue the mandate is interfering with military recruitment. On Tuesday, the defense secretary said there is no hard data to support that.

VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. — A lone suspect fired on a small group meeting at a suburban church near one of Alabama's major cities Thursday evening, fatally wounding two people and injuring a third before being taken into custody, authorities said. The attack occurred at Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in the Birmingham suburb of Vestavia Hills, Police Capt. Shane Ware said. He said officers rushed to the chuch after dispatchers received a call reporting an active shooter at the church at 6:22 p.m. “From what we've gathered from the circumstances of this evening, a lone suspect entered a small church group meeting and began shooting. Three people were shot. Two people are deceased. One person is being treated for an unknown injury at a local hospital," Ware said at a late Thursday news briefing. He added that a suspect was in custody and that there was “no threat to the community at this time." At an earlier briefing, he had initially said one person had died and two wounded by the shooting had been hospitalized. Meanwhile, he has declined to identify the suspect or the victims or provide further details of the attack, saying his next briefing would be Friday. The FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives dispatched agents to the scene. Investigators remained hours past nightfall, with yellow police tape cordoning off the church complex and emergency police and fire vehicles with flashing lights blocked the route to the church. Nearby, people huddled and prayed. The Rev. Kelley Hudlow, an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Alabama, told broadcast outlet WBRC that the church and the community were stunned by the shooting. “It is shocking. Saint Stephen’s is a communty built on love and prayers and grace and they are going to come together," she said in a live interview with the station. “People of all faiths are coming together to pray to hope for healing." She added that the church was receiving supportive messages from all over the U.S. and the world. "We need everybody out there. Pray, think, meditate and send love to this community because we are going to need all of it," she said. The church’s website had listed a “Boomers Potluck” for Thursday night. “There will be no program, simply eat and have time for fellowship,” the flyer read. News outlet al.com said two wounded people had been rushed to UAB Hospital in Birmingham — before police reported one of them had died. It was the latest in a string of deadly shootings that has rattled the nation. On Saturday thousands of people rallied in the U.S. and at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to renew calls for stricter gun control measures after recent deadly mass shootings from Buffalo, New York, to Uvalde, Texas. Survivors of mass shootings and other incidents of gun violence also have lobbied legislators and testified on Capitol Hill this month. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued a statement lamenting what she called the shocking and tragic loss of life at the church. Though she said she was glad to hear the suspect was in custody, she added, “This should never happen — in a church, in a store, in the city or anywhere." Vestavia Hills is a residential community just southeast of Birmingham, one of Alabama's two most populous cities.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adge Pharmaceuticals ("Adge") has entered into a license agreement with Korea-based Cyan Bio, Inc. ("Cyan"). Cyan will receive exclusive rights for commercialization of elocalcitol in key territories in Asia for the treatment of the Rett Syndrome and Osteogenesis imperfecta. The territories include Korea, Greater China, Japan, India and Southeast Asian countries. In parallel with the licensing agreement, Cyan will make an equity investment in Adge. As announced earlier (https://adgepharm.com/news/mar-22-2022/), Adge has secured a global license to RO269228, a clinical stage oral small molecule originally developed by Roche for osteoporosis. RO269228, also known as elocalcitol, is a vitamin D analog which has demonstrated efficacy and safety in multiple Phase 2 clinical trials. Furthermore, its mechanism of actions are highly relevant to addressing pathogenesis of multiple rare diseases including Rett Syndrome and Osteogenesis imperfecta that Adge is targeting as priority indications. Dr. Kalev Kask, CEO and founder of Adge, commented, "Partnership with Cyan is an important step towards broadening the international reach of Adge as it continues to develop elocalcitol, its key asset, for the treatment of the Rett Syndrome and Osteogenesis imperfecta, two rare pediatric diseases for which Asian countries are a market of growing significance. We are extremely pleased to have been able to partner with Cyan as a specialist of those markets". Michelle Kim, CEO of Cyan, added, "We are delighted to partner with Adge in developing elocalcitol to address a significant unmet need to benefit patients in Asia." Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene and almost exclusively affects girls. It is characterized by normal early growth and development followed by a slowdown in development, slowed brain and head growth, loss of purposeful use of the hands, distinctive hand movements, problems with walking, seizures, autistic behavior and intellectual disability. Rett syndrome is the second most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in girls after Down syndrome affecting an estimated 1 in 9,000 to 10,000 females. Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is a group of genetic diseases that primarily affect the bones. People with this condition have bones that fracture easily, often from mild trauma or with no apparent cause. Multiple fractures are common, and in severe cases, can occur even before birth. Osteogenesis imperfecta affects approximately 1 in 10,000 to 20,000 people worldwide. Adge Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of first-in-class therapies for orphan indications.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities aired the results Monday of the investigation of an Election Day 2020 police shooting that killed a man in a vehicle after the man killed two women, wounded a teenage girl and abducted a 12-year-old boy who died when he was shot as police approached. The hearing about the Henderson police shooting of Jason Neo Bourne, a 38-year-old who changed his name because he admired a movie character, suggested that Bourne shot the boy several times, including in the head, after police opened fire into the boy’s family’s Cadillac Escalade. Bourne, sitting in the driver’s seat, fired seven shots with a .40 caliber handgun, according to evidence presented by Henderson police Detective Richard Christopher, the only investigator questioned during the hearing dubbed a public fact-finding review. The proceeding, overseen by an attorney former state Assembly member and presented by a county prosecutor, did not conclusively answer whether one or more of the 27 shots fired by police struck the boy sitting in the passenger seat next to Bourne — who continued talking with a 911 dispatcher until gunfire erupted and was heard exclaiming “Yeah,” as officers began a second volley of fire. However, “We believe Jason Bourne was responsible for the boy’s wounds,” Christopher said after summarizing results of autopsies of the four people who died that day. Killed were Dianne Hawatmeh, 38, the boy’s mother; family housekeeper Veronica Muniz, 33, of Las Vegas; and the boy, Joseph Hawatmeh. The boy’s 16-year-old sister was shot several times and remains a paraplegic, family attorney Roger Croteau said Monday. “We’re not making a statement one way or another who shot Joseph,” Croteau said following the emotional four-hour proceeding at the Clark County Commission auditorium. Croteau is handling a federal lawsuit that the boy’s father, Iehab Hawatmeh filed in October in Las Vegas against Henderson police, departmental supervisors and the seven officers who fired shots that day. “We do know that (police) took the first shot,” the attorney said. “One second later, the car was lit up with … contagion firing. They rushed the vehicle and didn’t wait for SWAT or a negotiator to arrive.” Bourne was armed with a .40-caliber handgun, and police used 9mm handguns and .223-caliber tactical rifles. Medical examiners did not retrieve identifiable bullets from the boy’s body, according to the investigation. The non-judicial public review is provided by Clark County law instead of a coroner’s inquest following a police-involved death if the district attorney makes a preliminary finding that involved officers will not face criminal prosecution. The officers themselves do not take part. Police body-worn camera video and 911 audio aired Monday offered a heart-wrenching and dramatic account of 30 minutes of confusion that officials said may have stemmed from Bourne’s anger about a noise complaint that his downstairs neighbors made days before the shooting. It also highlighted apparent delusions and ramblings of a man who called police 911 from the Escalade, changed the pitch of his voice several times, identified himself variously as a character from the future, “not from this planet” and the super villain Bane from the movie, “Batman,” and demanded that police provide him with a helicopter within minutes. Joseph Hawatmeh could be heard in the background as Bourne abruptly interrupted apparent train-of-thought comments to the 911 dispatcher several times, uttering the phrase, “XM Satellite Radio 1.1 Gigawatts.” Bourne had no criminal history and legally purchased his gun before he legally changed his name in 2014 from Christopher Curry, said Christopher, the police detective. Bourne served nearly 15 years in the U.S. Air Force in various countries before being honorably discharged in 2017, Christopher said. He was a disabled veteran whose roommate, a retired Air Force member, told police was writing a book, regularly used marijuana and sometimes covered apartment windows fearing that others could see in. The police detective said Bourne’s computer files showed he “strongly believed in QAnon theories,” including “that celebrities wear lifelike masks but are actually politicians that were part of a secret pedophile society that controlled the world.” Among Bourne’s handwritten notes, Christopher found references to Bourne calling himself a superhero saving the world. Iehab Hawatmeh dabbed his eyes several times as he sat through the four-hour proceeding with Croteau with three other family members. Croteau later said they were not surprised by the material presented to the public. He said he believed the family has a strong wrongful death, negligence and civil rights case against police in federal court. Attorneys representing Henderson have filed documents seeking the dismissal of the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified unspecified monetary damages. Court hearings have not been scheduled. “As difficult as the situation was, my client believes the death of his boy wasn’t necessary,” Croteau said. “His family has suffered badly.”

"Think Brita filter, but a thousand times better." That’s what engineering professor Dr. Madjid Mohseni of the University of British Columbia said about a new water treatment that reduces forever chemicals from drinking water. PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of chemicals that are present in a wide array of common consumer products, from toilet paper to clothing. PFAS are known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment or in our bodies. Studies have linked exposure to PFAS to adverse health effects. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says investigations into how exposure to PFAS can be harmful are still being conducted. The CDC notes that PFAS are in food and the environment, making it unlikely to eliminate exposure entirely. To rid water of forever chemicals, Mohseni’s team created an adsorbing material capable of trapping and holding all the PFAS present in the water supply, the University of British Columbia said. The PFAS are later destroyed using special electrochemical and photochemical techniques, the university said. "Our adsorbing media captures up to 99% of PFAS particles and can also be regenerated and potentially reused," he said. "This means that when we scrub off the PFAS from these materials, we do not end up with more highly toxic solid waste that will be another major environmental challenge." SEE MORE: EPA to limit toxic 'forever chemicals' in drinking water According to the Environmental Protection Agency,PFAS can be found in drinking water. But the EPA said it's unknown how to effectively rid drinking water of forever chemicals. The University of British Columbia study isn’t the only attempt to use filters to eliminate PFAS from water. Last year, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences spotlighted CycloPure, Inc’s filters,which can rid up to 65 gallons (700 single-use water bottles) of PFAS with one filter.

Students sue for review, changes after Oxford High shooting WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — About 20 students at a Michigan high school where four students were killed in a mass shooting say their constitutional rights to safety and education have been violated and that they want changes to ensure security at school, a law firm representing them said Friday. The federal lawsuit being filed Friday names the Oxford Community School District, its former superintendent and other officials. It seeks an independent review and policy changes, including increased transparency and communication from the district. The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment from the district. Ethan Crumbley, 16, has been charged with murder and terrorism in the Nov. 30 shootings at Oxford High School, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Detroit, that also left six other students and a teacher wounded. He faces trial in November. His parents are accused of providing him with access to the gun he used and are awaiting trial for involuntary manslaughter. The students’ lawsuit demands the school district implement a “fully transparent and independent third-party investigation of the actions and events leading up to the shooting” and what it calls an end to the “practice of concealing and minimizing threats of violence.” The lawsuit doesn’t seek financial damages. Other lawsuits following the shooting have sought millions of dollars, saying that the violence could have been prevented. The latest lawsuit also asks the district to stop returning students to class when they pose a risk of harm to themselves or others. On the morning of the shooting, Ethan Crumbley’s parents were summoned to the school and confronted with his drawings of a handgun and the words: “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me.” Authorities said the parents refused to take him home after the 13-minute meeting. Rumors of threats and threatening behavior in the weeks leading up to the shooting were ignored and minimized by school officials, said Alicia Feltz, whose daughter will be a freshman at the high school this fall. “They desensitized and diminished the threats that walked alongside our children in the hallways.” “None of us want to be here right now,” Feltz added. “We have kindly and firmly asked for change and now we’re demanding it.” The parents supporting their children in the lawsuit are known as #change4oxford. Several told reporters that the Oxford School Board has repeatedly declined a review by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office. The district announced last month that it was hiring a law firm and an independent investigations firm to conduct its own review. “My fear, now, is they will use attorney-client privilege to withhold pertinent information for the review,” said April Ventline, whose son attends Oxford High. “I don’t have faith or trust we will get a clear and honest review.” ___ For more of the AP’s coverage of the Michigan school shooting: https://apnews.com/hub/oxford-high-school-shooting Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge showed growing impatience Thursday with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s use of the internet while on bail, suggesting that incarceration might eventually be the most effective way to prevent him from communicating on electronic devices in ways that can’t be traced. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan did not immediately change a $250 million bail package that lets Bankman-Fried live with his parents in Palo Alto, California, while preparing for trial on charges that he cheated investors and looted customer deposits at FTX, his cryptocurrency trading platform. But he raised the possibility for the first time that jail might be the only way to ensure Bankman-Fried won’t outfox the government with ways to use electronic devices in ways that can’t be tracked. “There is a solution, but it’s not one anybody’s proposed yet,” Kaplan said as Bankman-Fried sat passively at the defense table. He then noted that there may be many devices in Bankman-Fried’s family home that the government will not be tracking, even with any new rules imposed on his bail conditions. “Why am I being asked to set him loose in this garden of electronic devices?” he asked prosecutors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos said a more “drastic alternative” would be to ban Bankman-Fried’s use of all electronic devices, but he added that it would be difficult for him to prepare for a trial tentatively set for October if that were to occur. The judge noted that Bankman-Fried, according to prosecutors, “has done things that suggests to me that maybe he has committed or attempted to commit a federal felony while on release.” Kaplan was alluding to a claim by prosecutors that Bankman-Fried sent an encrypted message over the Signal texting app on Jan. 15 to the general counsel of FTX US. According to prosecutors, the message said: “I would really love to reconnect and see if there’s a way for us to have a constructive relationship, use each other as resources when possible, or at least vet things with each other. I’d love to get on a phone call sometime soon and chat.” Federal prosecutors have told Kaplan that Bankman-Fried’s communications indicate he may be trying to influence a witness with incriminating evidence against him. On Thursday, prosecutors asked Kaplan to more severely limit Bankman-Fried’s use of electronic devices and the internet, including banning him from messaging applications and requiring the installation of a device monitoring program on his cellphone and computer. A day earlier, they wrote in court papers that his “behavior shows that the existing conditions leave too much room for circumvention of restrictions aimed at preventing inappropriate conduct, including contacting witnesses and accessing cryptocurrency assets.” They described him as “a technologically sophisticated person with both the ability and the inclination to seek workarounds of more narrowly drawn bail conditions.” Mark Cohen, Bankman-Fried lawyer, called the proposals by prosecutors “draconian” requests that would make it hard for lawyers and the defendant to prepare for trial. But he soon found himself on the defensive as Kaplan noted his client’s apparent bail violations, including accessing an encrypted internet site to watch the Super Bowl. The judge mocked Bankman-Fried’s use of an encrypted method to watch the game, noting that it was on any television. Cohen responded that there wasn’t a TV in the house. “I think we understand your comments today, your honor, that there is no margin for error,” Cohen said. “That if there are any violations, we will be at a very different proceeding.” Of the eventual bail restrictions, the judge said: “I want this to be tight, not just tight in characterization, but tight in fact.” Bankman-Fried has been confined with electronic monitoring to his parents’ home since his December arrest on charges that he cheated investors and that diverted their deposits, in part to finance political donations and make risky trades at Alameda Research. He has pleaded not guilty.

KAHRAMANMARAS, Turkey (AP) — Rescuers have pulled more survivors from the debris of the Feb. 6 earthquake that devastated parts of Turkey and Syria even as the window for finding people alive is closing fast. Here’s a look at the key developments Friday from the aftermath of the earthquake. DEATH TOLL RISES The Turkish disaster management agency has updated the death toll from the powerful earthquake in Turkey to 38,044, raising the overall number of fatalities in both Turkey and Syria to 41,732. The death toll is certain to increase further as search teams retrieve more bodies amid the devastation. The powerful 7.8 earthquake has become Turkey’s deadliest disaster in modern history. MORE SURVIVORS RESCUED More than 10 days after the powerful earthquake struck, rescuers overnight pulled out a child, a woman and two men alive from wreckage. The latest rescues came as crews began clearing up debris in cities devastated by the earthquake. Neslihan Kilic, a 29-year-old mother of two, was removed from the rubble of a building in Kahramanmaras, after being trapped for 258 hours, the private DHA news agency reported late Thursday. In the city of Antakya, police rescue crews found 12-year-old Osman alive after retrieving 17 bodies from a collapsed building. “Just when our hopes were over, we reached our brother Osman at the 260th hour,” police rescue team leader Okan Tosun told DHA. An hour later, crews reached two men inside the debris of a collapsed hospital in Antakya. One of them, Mustafa Avci, used the mobile phone of a rescuer to call his brother and ask about family members. “Have they all survived? he asked. “Let me hear their voices.” UN AID CROSSES INTO SYRIA A total of 143 trucks carrying aid from Turkey into northwest Syria have crossed the border since Feb. 9, a United Nations official said. Jens Laerke, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said the trucks are carrying a “multitude” of items from six U.N. agencies — including tents, mattresses, blankets, winter clothes, cholera testing kits, essential medicines, and food from the World Food Program. They crossed through the border gates of Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salameh, he said. Meanwhile, The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, said it was working closely with Turkey to determine the steps needed to rehabilitate infrastructure in the agricultural sector damaged by the quake, including irrigation systems, roads, markets and storage capacity. “In Syria, rapid assessments by FAO of areas affected by the earthquakes suggest major disruption to crop and livestock production capacity, threatening immediate and longer-term food security,” the Rome-based agency said in a statement. SYRIANS’ RETURN At least 1,522 bodies of Syrians have been brought back to Syria from Turkey for burial across the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, an official at the crossing said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based war monitor, reported that when the numbers from other, smaller crossings are tallied, the total number of bodies brought back to Syria for burial is 1,745. Syrian survivors have also begun crossing back from Turkey. Some 1,795 Syrians crossed from Turkey into Syria on Wednesday, the first day after Turkey issued a decision allowing Syrian refugees impacted by the earthquake to return to their country temporarily without losing their protected status in Turkey, an official at the Bab al-Hawa border crossing said. The decision allows holders of Turkish temporary protection cards residing in earthquake-damaged areas to cross into Syria without having to obtain a travel permit from Turkish authorities. Normally if a Syrian holding protected status in were to cross into Syria without a permit, they would be considered by Turkish authorities to have relinquished their status as asylum-seekers and would be required to surrender their protection cards and banned from re-entry for five years. SPAIN TO TAKE IN 100 SYRIANS MADRID — Spain says it will take in some 100 Syrian refugees in Turkey that have suffered in the earthquake. Migrations Minister José Luis Escrivá said the refugees would be those considered most vulnerable and badly affected by the quake. Making the announcement late Thursday, Escrivá said “the earthquake reminds us of Syria’s drama in a tremendous way and we are going to try to help within our possibilities.” ___ Associated Press writers Jamey Keaten in Geneva, Frances D’Emilio in Rome, Ciaran Giles in Madrid and Abby Sewell in Beirut contributed.

UN experts warn of impact of abortion bans on US minorities GENEVA (AP) — Independent U.N. human rights experts expressed concerns Tuesday about the adverse impact on the rights of racial and ethnic minorities from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that stripped away constitutional protections for abortion in the United States, and called on the Biden administration and state governments to do more to buttress those rights. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a group of independent experts who work with the U.N. human rights office, said it was concerned about higher rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, among a host of concerns about the rights of Blacks, Latinos, Indigenous peoples, foreign-born migrants and others in the United States. The calls came as part of a regular review of U.N. member states by the committee. The U.S. was among seven countries to be considered this summer. A large delegation of U.S. officials, including Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, traveled to Geneva earlier this month for hearings that fed into the committee’s thinking about the rights of ethnic and racial minorities in the U.S. In its report, the committee ran the gamut of concerns and assessments — including praise for recent legislation and executive orders to improve the rights of minorities, and calls for a “national action plan” to combat systemic racism and racial discrimination and an effort to limit the impact of gun violence on such minorities. It urged consideration of new laws or a review of existing ones to help fight excessive use of force by law enforcement, and called on the U.S. to adopt “all necessary measures” — including at the federal level — to ensure that all people can vote. It expressed concerns about an increase in new legislation with a “disproportionate impact” on minorities. While noting some steps by the White House to address high maternal mortality rates, it said: “the committee is concerned that systemic racism along with intersecting factors such as gender, race, ethnicity and migration status have a profound impact on the ability of women and girls to access the full range of sexual and reproductive health services in (the U.S.) without discrimination.” The concerns came in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in June to strip away women’s constitutional protections for abortion that had been enshrined for nearly a half-century under Roe v. Wade, which paved the way for abortion bans in some states. The committee, referring to the recent court decision, called on the United States to adopt “all necessary measures” at both state and federal level “to address the profound disparate impact of (the decision) on women of racial and ethnic minorities, Indigenous women and those with low incomes,” and provide safe, legal access to abortion under existing U.S. commitments to human rights. It called on the U.S. to ensure that women seeking an abortion — or the health care providers who assist them — “are not subjected to criminal penalties.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It’s a different season, but the situation is similar. The last time TCU’s men’s basketball team visited the WVU Coliseum, West Virginia was in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. Behind 25 points from Taz Sherman, and 10 points off the bench by Malik Curry, the Mountaineers ended the skid, and ended the regular season with a win. Fast forward to this year, and TCU once again comes to town to face a West Virginia (10-7, 0-5 Big12) team that’s in the middle of a losing streak. That’s where the similarities stop, though. Unlike last season, the Horned Frogs (14-3, 3-2 Big 12) enter Wednesday’s contest ranked 14th in the nation. Not only do they possess one of the Big 12 Conference’s top scorers, but across the board, they’re an improved team from a season ago. “I think it’s the most-talented team Jamie (Dixon)’s had since he’s been at TCU,” Bob Huggins said Monday. “They’re like the Lakers used to be. They’re like the Showtime Lakers. They do a great job running lanes. There’s various clips of them rebounding a ball, outletting it, and scoring a layup at the other end before the ball ever touched the floor.” The most notable example of TCU’s abilities this year lies in junior guard Mike Miles Jr. The Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year is having a season worthy of the award. He’s averaging 19 points per game, and shooting better than 50 percent from the floor. “Terrific in transition,” Huggins said of Miles. “I think he’s a guy, who certainly will play in the [NBA], because that style of play is sought after. And, he’s very, very good at it. He’s as good in the open court as anybody we have in the [Big 12] now, probably.” Huggins knows a future NBA player when he sees one. He recently added a former NBA player to his coaching staff, as DerMarr Johnson has been hired to be an assistant coach. It’s unclear at this time if Johnson will be eligible to coach in the contest, as he continues to transition from his role as director of player development at Cincinnati. West Virginia has suffered five straight losses to begin Big 12 play, three of which have come by six points or less. The Mountaineers are coming off a one-point loss at Oklahoma on Saturday. WVU was able to clean up the turnover issues that have persisted for much of this season, but sub-par free throw shooting was once again a defining characteristic in the outcome. Quick Hits: Huggins on opportunities and return flight home While Huggins admitted the team hasn’t taken advantage of opportunities and crucial situations often enough, players continue to step up to give their input on how the losing streak can come to an end. “Obviously, guys like Keddy have voiced their opinions, as have a lot of other guys,” said Huggins. “I think what’s important is that the guys that voice their opinion are the guys that are giving it everything they have, and really kind of as much as anybody can, carry the load.” TCU, meanwhile, cooled off one of the hottest teams in the country last time out, as Miles and company took down then-No. 11 Kansas State by 14 points. Miles tallied the first double-double of his career with 13 points and 11 assists to help the Horned Frogs snap a two-game losing skid. “Jamie’s done a really, really good job of making it an up-tempo style,” Huggins said of TCU’s offense. Despite Miles’ scoring ability, Dixon’s team ranks ninth in the Big 12 in shooting percentage and tenth in the league in three-point shooting percentage. However, the Horned Frogs are the best rebounding team in the league, and average a conference-best 12.6 offensive rebounds per game. Dixon’s group also hangs onto the basketball better than any other team in the conference, as they average the fewest turnovers per game in the Big 12. WVU’s Tre Mitchell, averaging a team-best 15.4 points per game in conference play, leads all Big 12 players in rebounds per contest since league play began, averaging nine boards a night. West Virginia and TCU enter this week averaging an identical 78.1 points per game on offense. However, the Horned Frogs own the second-best scoring margin (+13.4) in the league, while WVU ranks in the bottom third of the conference with a +8.7 scoring margin. After winning each of the first 11 meetings with TCU, WVU is 6-4 against Texas Christian since the start of the 2017-18 season. The Mountaineers have never lost to TCU in Morgantown. Wednesday’s contest will tip at 7 p.m. ET, and will be streamed on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

Phil Mickelson gave his first public comments since accepting a spot on the controversial Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational series. Mickelson said on Wednesday that he does not condone alleged human rights violations by the Saudi Arabian government. Mickelson was among a number of former major champions to leave the PGA Tour behind for the LIV Golf Invitational, which is offering mammoth purses. “I don't condone human rights violations,” he said. “I don't know how I can be any more clear. I understand your question, but... again, I love this game of golf. I've seen the good that it's done, and I see the opportunity for LIV Golf to do a lot of good for the game throughout the world, and I'm excited to be a part of this opportunity.” As Mickelson prepared for the first LIV Golf event to begin on Thursday, several other former major champions appear to be joining the league. The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed will announce they too are joining the circuit. The outlet reported they will play at LIV Golf’s first American event later this month. The PGA Tour has not permitted players to join the competing league. Anyone participating in this week’s LIV Golf Invitational risks losing PGA Tour membership. Besides Mickelson, the LIV Golf Invitational also includes some other former major champions, including Dustin Johnson Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell, Martin Kaymer and Louis Oosthuizen. While golfers joining the LIV Golf Invitational might not be permitted back on the PGA Tour, they can still — for now — participate in major championships.

The Two New Dormitories were Named After Kwanza Jones, Princeton '93, Artist And CEO of SUPERCHARGED, and José E. Feliciano, Princeton '94, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Clearlake Capital. LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivy League institution Princeton University names two dormitories after Kwanza Jones (Princeton '93), and José E. Feliciano (Princeton '94). These are the first buildings to be named after a Black and Latino donor in Princeton's 275-year history. Princeton celebrated the dedication and ribbon cutting of the new dormitories on May 5th, 2023 in New Jersey. Friends and families from across the country gathered together to join in the dedication of the Kwanza Jones Hall and José E. Feliciano Hall. These dormitories were built after Jones and Feliciano's historic gift of $20 million to Princeton which was donated back in 2019. The donation was made to attract and support high-achieving students from all backgrounds and highlights the promise of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for the larger community. "We see this gift as the color of commitment. It also demonstrates that people of color belong and we are at the table to help the university to continue to do the work of anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion," said Jones. It is worth noting that Jones and Feliciano's time at Princeton was challenging. Before the $20 million donation, Jones had written an "Open Love Letter" about Woodrow Wilson's legacy to Princeton's President, Christopher Eisgruber, and Vice President for Advancement, Kevin Heaney. It addressed the racism faced by Blacks and people of color within Princeton. In the letter, Jones requested the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name from the Residential College and the School of Public and International Affairs. Jones stated: "One of the reasons José and I committed more than $20 million to Princeton was to demonstrate that underrepresented people of color, whether Black, Brown, or otherwise, that these people, our people… belong. Not that we belong solely as beneficiaries of a Princeton education and experience. But, instead, we belong, as patrons and co-creators of Princeton, and places like Princeton. And, that Princeton, our communities, our nation, and the world is made better because of us." During the dedication of the Kwanza Jones Hall and José E. Feliciano Hall, Eisgruber said, "Today we celebrate the power of possibilities. We celebrate the generosity and love of two very special members of the Princeton community. And we celebrate what it means to belong." The two dormitories are built in the same spot where Jones and Feliciano had their first date during their time at Princeton. "There is a bridge that connects the Kwanza Jones Hall to the José E. Feliciano Hall," said Jones. "So, when we are talking about buildings and connections, it's not just metaphorical, it's literal." "This is the most iconic representation of the genius of American intellectual traditions contributing toward the expansion of a better world," said Dr. Michael Eric Dyson (Princeton '93). "Kwanza and José have done more than talk the talk. They have erected a building that is a lasting monument to the beautiful creativity of equity." At the event, Eisgruber presented to Jones and Feliciano a replica of the plaque that hangs inside the Kwanza Jones Hall and José E. Feliciano Hall as a gift. "We hope this will remind you always of our deep gratitude for your commitment to Princeton." The dedication of the Kwanza Jones Hall ended with Jones' latest track playing as the audience moved towards the José E. Feliciano Hall. The song titled, "We Buildin' (Reggaeton Mix)" celebrates the power of collective action and positive change, and pays tribute to the essence of building on your future, brick by brick. "Thank you for showing what Princeton love can be, so that we can show up inside Princeton," said Rahsaan Harris (Princeton '95). About Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano are life and business partners. In 2014, they founded the Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano Initiative (Jones+Feliciano), a philanthropic grant-making and investment organization that strategically partners with nonprofits and for-profits to ensure maximum impact. Jones+Feliciano focuses on four pillars - education, entrepreneurship, equity, and empowerment - as providing access to capital in these areas leads to greater and more equitable advances and societal progress. Jones+Feliciano has committed more than $150 million to these efforts. Kwanza Jones (Princeton '93), is an artist, catalyst, speaker, and philanthropic leader. She is a leader as a board member and an advisor to numerous companies and nonprofits, including Apollo Theater, Susan G. Komen, UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, and Bennett College. José E. Feliciano (Princeton '94), is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Clearlake Capital. He is also a trustee of Stanford University and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Latino.

LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) — The music was blaring on a February afternoon when Francisco Torres stopped by a Massachusetts barbershop, proclaiming he was half-angel, half-devil. He wanted a dozen people to come outside the shop and shoot him with an automatic weapon stored in his car trunk. Before anyone could make sense of the request, Torres fled the shop and drove off. They never saw a weapon and he didn’t return. “I didn’t get what he was saying but then I realized he was talking about a gun. I told him there are kids in here, why are you saying this,” said Saul Perez, who was visiting friends at the shop and noted that an employee called 911, ushered children into the back and shut down the shop. “I was spooked.” The incident took place about a week before Torres would be arrested for attacking a flight attendant and attempting to open the plane’s emergency door on a cross-country United flight from Los Angeles to Boston earlier this month. Confrontations on flights have skyrocketed since the pandemic started, with some altercations captured and replayed endlessly on social media. In a video taken by a fellow passenger, Torres loudly threatens to kill people and promises a bloodbath before charging the front of the plane, where a group of passengers tackled him down to the ground to restrain him. He remains behind bars pending a mental health evaluation, with a judge ruling he “may presently be suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent.” Torres objected to the evaluation through his federal public defender, Joshua Hanye, who didn’t return a call Thursday seeking additional comment. A relative for Torres would not comment on the case. The flight attack was part of a decadeslong pattern of Torres demonstrating signs of a mental illness. He spent time in mental health facilities, according to lawsuits since closed that he filed in 2021 and 2022 against two hospitals in Massachusetts. Torres says he argued in one of the lawsuits that he was misdiagnosed for a mental illness and, in the other, that he was discriminated against for being vegan. In December 2022, police confronted him at his house in Worcester County, where he was outside in his underwear saying he was protesting climate change, according to a police report. On another occasion in 2021, police responded to a call from his mother reporting that he was yelling “homicidal threats” out a window. He told police that he was in World War III and he had a special device giving him “super sonic hearing,” which he used to listen to his neighbors talking about him. His case history demonstrates the challenges facing airlines and federal regulators when handling passengers like Torres. Especially since experts say data shows those with mental illnesses are more often the victims of crimes than those responsible for committing violent acts. Despite repeated run-ins with police, authorities said that he rarely acted violent. He once was accused of grabbing his mother’s arm, but those charges were dismissed. He didn’t legally own a weapon, even though he often talked about guns. And there were no signs of trouble when he boarded that cross-county flight last month, a passenger said, or during the first five hours in the air. “He is really a nonviolent offender,” said Leominster Police Chief Aaron Kennedy, who is familiar with Torres from previous run-ins. “This guy was pretty mild.” And even if past incidents raised red flags, experts said there isn’t a whole lot that airline companies can or should be doing. Airlines say they don’t share banned passenger lists with each other, though there have been a few cases so notorious that the passenger’s name became widely known. The FBI maintains a no-fly list for people suspected of terrorism, to which special agents and other approved government employees can submit names for consideration. People with mental illnesses are not prohibited from getting on a plane, according to Jeffrey Price, an aviation-security expert at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Federal law gives U.S. citizens “a public right of transit through the navigable airspace,” he said. Legislation backed by airlines and their labor unions was introduced in Congress last year to create a new no-fly list including people who were charged or fined for interfering with airline crews. The bills died without hearings in the Senate or House, but backers plan to re-introduce them later this month. Several Republican senators opposed the proposal, saying it could be used to punish critics of the federal rule requiring passengers to wear masks — even to “equate them to terrorists.” From January 2021 to April 2022, while the federal mask mandate was still in effect, the vast majority of unruly-passenger cases reported by airlines involved disputes over masks, according to Federal Aviation Administration figures. Some liberal groups also opposed the legislation, arguing that the current no-fly list of people suspected of terrorism is opaque and unfair. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the government several times over the last decade on behalf of people who didn’t know why they were on the list or how to be removed from it. The ACLU also has accused the FBI of putting some people on the list to pressure them to become informants in counter-terrorist investigations against Muslim communities in the U.S. The captain of an airline flight can decide not to fly with a particular passenger on board, although flight attendants say this usually happens when a passenger appears to be drunk. The government runs what it calls “trusted traveler” programs such as TSA PreCheck, which lets people who are fingerprinted and pass a background check speed through security without removing shoes, belts, jackets and laptops from their bags. People can be denied PreCheck for certain crimes, which extends to those who are found not guilty by reason of insanity. But of course people who are denied PreCheck can still fly. Adding travelers like Torres to any no-fly list or barring them from a flight raises a host of logistical and constitutional questions. And determining who would get on a list would be controversial in a country that prides itself on protecting individual rights and keeping health information private by following strict HIPAA rules. Plus, having a “mental health challenge” is “not a prediction, necessarily, that someone’s going to have outbursts, have unpredictable behavior,” said Lynn Bufka, a psychologist and the American Psychological Association’s associate chief of practice transformation. “That’s not going to be a good marker for determining whether or not someone should safely board.” Before Torres became agitated and threatened those around him, fellow passenger Jason Loomis said he didn’t exhibit any strange behavior during boarding and was quiet for the beginning of the flight. Hours later though, Loomis witnessed his outburst. Initially, he spoke with Torres to try to calm him down, but when Torres’ anger escalated, Loomis joined other passengers in restraining him. Still, Loomis said he couldn’t envision keeping Torres off the flight in the first place. Instead, he said it was a reminder that society needs to take better care of mentally ill people. “I know there has been a lot of talk about airplane security and safety these days, but this was a very rare occurrence,” Loomis said. “It wasn’t like he was shouting in the airport. He wasn’t threatening anything. He was perfectly fine and then something just snapped.”

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s prime minister said Saturday that authorities would go after those involved in violent protests following the detention of his predecessor, Imran Khan, including prosecution in anti-terrorism courts. Shahbaz Sharif’s warnings were a sign of further escalation in the long-running showdown between the government and Khan, who has the backing of large numbers of supporters. Khan returned to his home in the eastern city of Lahore early Saturday, after a court agreed to shield him from renewed arrest for two weeks. The 70-year-old former cricket star, who was toppled by parliament a year ago, delivered a speech from his home later Saturday. The recent chain of events began Tuesday when Khan was dragged out of a courtroom and arrested in the capital of Islamabad. His detention was met by violent protests by his supporters, who torched cars and buildings, including military installations. Hundreds were arrested in the aftermath. Khan was released on Friday, but a long list of around 100 court cases, on charges ranging from fomenting violence to corruption, still stands against him. Khan said Friday that authorities only allowed him to travel when he threatened to tell the public he was being held there against his will. Sharif on Saturday vowed to go after those involved in setting on fire the residence of the military’s corps commander in Lahore. “The culprits including the planners, abettors and attackers” face trial in anti-terrorism courts, he told officials in Lahore. Sharif ordered the Law Ministry to increase the number of anti-terrorism courts to speed up the trials. Khan has been in a standoff with the government that replaced him and has alleged the charges against him are politically motivated. Sharif maintains there is a “genuine corruption case” against Khan, “but the judiciary has become a stone wall protecting him.” On the day of Khan’s arrest, protests were held at several places across the country that also witnessed violence. In Rawalpindi’s garrison city, baton-wielding protesters broke into the main gate of the military’s general headquarters. Also, in the northwestern city of Peshawar, protesters set on fire the building of national broadcaster Radio Pakistan, which also housed the offices of state-run news wire Associated Press of Pakistan. Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Saturday alleged that armed assailants were involved in the attacks on military installations and government buildings, rejecting a portrayal of the events as spontaneous protests. Khan has a broad base of support around Pakistan. He presents himself as an outsider victimized by the military and the political dynasties that have long run the country. Opponents, meanwhile, call him a corrupt demagogue stirring his followers into violence. In his speech Saturday, Khan denied that his party was responsible for the violent incidents that happened after his arrest. He demanded the chief justice of Pakistan’s Supreme Court investigate, alleging that “unknown persons” joined the protesters and carried out vandalism. He provided no proof to support the claim. “I never allowed my party workers to indulge in mafia-like tactic and always encouraged them to adopt the constitutional course while demanding a new election,” he said. Mainstream television channels blacked out Khan’s address despite a court order suspending a recent ban by Pakistan’s media watchdog on his speeches. Saturday’s speech was aired on the YouTube channel of Khan’s party, Tehreek-e-Insaf. Khan asked his supporters to hold gatherings in their neighborhoods on Sunday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and announced the resumption of public rallies starting Wednesday in Lahore.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Enbridge Energy, the owner and operator of the Line 3 pipeline project in northern Minnesota, will pay more than $11 million after investigations identified water quality violations and three aquifer breaches related to the pipeline’s construction, state regulators said Monday. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Department of Natural Resources announced the results from investigations of water quality violations and aquifer breaches related to the construction project. Combined with the previous DNR actions, and in partnership with Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the investigations have resulted in more than $11 million in payments, environmental projects, and financial assurances from Enbridge, according to the state agencies. The Minnesota agency investigation found that Enbridge violated regulations when it discharged construction storm water into wetlands and inadvertently releasing drilling mud into surface water at 12 locations in June and August of 2021. The DNR also finalized agreements with Enbridge to address three aquifer breaches related to Line 3 construction. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison also said Monday he has filed a misdemeanor criminal charge against Enbridge in Clearwater County District Court for taking water without a permit at the Clearbrook aquifer. A statement from Enbridge said that the charge will be dismissed following one year of compliance with state water rules. “Enbridge, with the support of union and tribal contractors, implemented strong environmental safeguards and protections to meet these regulatory requirements and protect natural resources. This included construction oversight by agency and tribal monitors with the authority to stop construction at any time,” the statement said. Enbridge said $7.5 million of the $11 million will be used to provide financial assurances and fund multiple environmental and resource enhancement projects. “At the start of this project, the MPCA issued our most stringent water quality certification to date and permits that were strong, enforceable, and protective — and this enforcement action holds Enbridge accountable for the violations that occurred during construction,” said MPCA Commissioner Katrina Kessler. Environmentalist Winona LaDuke, applauded the action taken by the state and attorney general, but added the agencies failed Minnesota’s natural resources and tribal treaty rights by allowing the project to continue. “Remember that the aquifer is still hemorrhaging water and the level of contamination is increasing,” the executive director of Honor the Earth said.

(BCN) — The Oakland Zoo may have to change its name to Oakland Mountain Lion Rescue Center. Coming from the same general vicinity as Holly, the cub found abandoned last month in Santa Cruz and brought to the zoo’s veterinary hospital, another cub was brought to the zoo Sunday. Named Hazel, the 4-to-5-month-old cub was found severely emaciated in Soquel, near Santa Cruz. Hazel, who only weighs 12 pounds, was found by a local resident, who called Native Animal Rescue animal shelter. They contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), who determined Hazel’s mother was nowhere to be found. CDFW brought Hazel to Oakland Sunday night. According to Isabella Linares, the marketing manager of zoo manager Conservation Society of California, Hazel is suffering from severe anemia and hypoglycemia. “We gave her much-needed fluids and set her up with a warm and cozy overnight bed,” Linares said, in a statement. “By this morning, vitals had slightly improved, and we are doing everything we can to help her heal.” Linares said mountain lions can have kittens year-round, and according to CDFW, it’s unfortunately common to find cubs needing help during winter months. Holly, who was named for the holidays, was about the same age when brought to the zoo Dec. 19. KRON On is streaming live news now She was considered critically ill when brought in, prompting hospital staff to treat her with fluids, vitamins, anti-nausea medication, and anti-parasitic medication. Zoo officials say she’s made remarkable progress since. Zoo officials have said Holly won’t be released back into the wild and they will find her a permanent home in the coming weeks at an Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited zoo or sanctuary. She’s just too young to survive on her own in the wild, which could also be the case with Hazel. Copyright © 2023 Bay City News, Inc.

In his new book, The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in The American Century, author Steve Coll details the complicated family history of Osama bin Laden, one of 54 children born to Mohamed bin Laden. The elder bin Laden transformed himself from an illiterate bricklayer into an immensely wealthy and powerful businessman. Mohamed bin Laden died in a plane crash in 1967, leaving each of his sons a 2.7 percent share of the company assets, and each daughter a 1 percent share. While most of his brothers began working for the family company, Osama instead focused on Islamic political causes.

A handful of centenarian survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor gathered at the scene of the Japanese bombing on Wednesday to commemorate those who perished 81 years ago. That's fewer than in recent years, when a dozen or more traveled to Hawaii from across the country to pay their respects at the annual remembrance ceremony. Part of the decline reflects the dwindling number of survivors as they age. The youngest active-duty military personnel on Dec. 7, 1941, would have been about 17, making them 98 today. Many of those still alive are at least 100. Ira Schab, 102, was on the USS Dobbin as a tuba player in the ship’s band. He recalls seeing Japanese planes flying overhead and wondering what to do. Get DFW local news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC DFW newsletters. “We had no place to go and hoped they’d miss us,” he said before the ceremony began. He fed ammunition to machine gunners on the vessel, which wasn’t hit. He’s now attended the remembrance ceremony four times. U.S. & World “I wouldn’t miss it because I got an awful lot of friends that are still here that are buried here. I come back out of respect for them,” he said. Schab stayed in the Navy during the war. After the war, he studied aerospace engineering and worked on the Apollo program. Today he lives in Portland, Oregon. He wants people to remember those who served that day. “Remember what they’re here for. Remember and honor those that are left. They did a hell of a job. Those who are still here, dead or alive,” he said. About 2,400 servicemen were killed in the bombing, which launched the U.S. into World War II. The USS Arizona alone lost 1,177 sailors and Marines, nearly half the death toll. Robert John Lee recalls being a 20-year-old civilian living at his parent's home on the naval base where his father ran the water pumping station. The home was just about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) across the harbor from where the USS Arizona was moored on battleship row. The first explosions before 8 a.m. woke him up, making him think a door was slamming in the wind. He got up to yell for someone to shut the door only to look out the window at Japanese planes dropping torpedo bombs from the sky. He saw the hull of the USS Arizona turn a deep orange-red after an aerial bomb hit it. “Within a few seconds, that explosion then came out with huge tongues of flame right straight up over the ship itself — but hundreds of feet up,” Lee said in an interview Monday after a boat tour of the harbor. He still remembers the hissing sound of the fire. Sailors jumped into the water to escape their burning ships and swam to the landing near Lee's house. Many were covered in the thick, heavy oil that coated the harbor. Lee and his mother used Fels-Naptha soap to help wash them. Sailors who were able to boarded small boats that shuttled them back to their vessels. “Very heroic, I thought,” Lee said of them. Lee joined the Hawaii Territorial Guard the next day, and later the U.S. Navy. He worked for Pan American World Airways for 30 years after the war. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs doesn’t have statistics for how many Pearl Harbor survivors are still living. But department data show that of the 16 million who served in World War II, only about 240,000 were alive as of August and some 230 die each day. There were about 87,000 military personnel on Oahu at the time of the attack, according to a rough estimate compiled by military historian J. Michael Wenger. The ceremony sponsored by the Navy and the National Park Service featured a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the attack began, and a missing-man-formation flyover. Navy and park service officials are due to deliver remarks.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Philharmonic is restoring salaries of musicians to pre-pandemic levels as it prepares to return to Lincoln Center’s Geffen Hall for the 2022-23 season. A four-year contract agreed to in December 2020 during a season canceled due to the coronavirus had called for players to earn 75% of minimum scale through Aug. 31, 2023, which comes to $2,214 weekly. The figure was to rise to 80% of scale through the first six months of the following fiscal year and 90% for the following six months. The orchestra said Monday that salaries will be restored to a $2,952 weekly minimum starting Sept. 21. After missing the 2020-21 season due to the pandemic, the orchestra split this season largely between Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall (46 concerts) and Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater (28 concerts). The Philharmonic held 89 concerts in all and drew 90% capacity with attendance of 74,787, not including its free Memorial Day performance at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The Philharmonic returns to Geffen Hall on Oct. 7 after a $550 million renovation that reduced capacity to under 2,200 from 2,738 and cut rows in the orchestra from 43 to 33. The stage was moved forward 25 feet, allowing seven rows of wraparound seating behind the orchestra. About two-thirds of the third tier was eliminated. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A federal judge is dropping the criminal case against a Buffalo woman, accused of running over police officers during a protest in the summer of 2020 and illegal possession of a weapon. It was a chaotic scene on June 1, 2020, with officers injured, bullets flying and a car speeding away. “I was very happy that the case was dismissed, I still apologize to the officer, I never meant for anything to happen,” said Deyanna Davis, in regards to the charge of illegal possession of a weapon. Davis is no longer on home incarceration or electronic monitoring, relating to the federal case. Davis was behind the wheel with two other men, Semaj Pigram, 25, and Walter Stewart, 28, when they slammed through a police blockade on Bailey Avenue, during a period of social unrest after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Davis was initially charged in federal court with a single count of illegal possession of a firearm. On Tuesday, federal court Judge Richard Arcara dismissed her case, at the request of federal prosecutors. “Its always been our contention that she was carjacked and that this weapon was the instrument used to take over the vehicle take over control of the vehicle,” said Sam Davis, Deyanna Davis’ attorney. There is no family relationship between the two. “There was never any indication that she actually touched or came in contact with this weapon,” Sam Davis added. Davis says she was on her way to the store and came across the protest, then sped off after seeing tear gas. She says she still deals with injuries from begin shot in the back and the stomach. “I do still have troubles getting around sometimes, it does hurt a lot I never going to be the same,” Davis said. State Police Trooper Ron Ensminger will likely never be the same either. He suffered a broken leg and a shattered pelvis after being run over. State Police say Ensminger retired in January due to his injuries. Davis still faces state charges from the Erie County District Attorney’s Office — two counts of assault — for the injuries to the officers. This case is scheduled for July, according to the DA’s Office. Sam Davis says their defense is building momentum, in getting those charges dropped, with the federal case now being dismissed. “I believe this was purely an accident, she was shot subsequent to that this wasn’t malice, forethought, she didn’t intend to hurt him,” Davis said. If convicted on the assault charges, Davis could get a max of 25 years in prison. Because of the federal case, Davis was on home incarceration with electronic monitoring, but that is no longer happening. Federal charges are still pending against her two co-defendants and according to court documents, plea negotiations are ongoing. Davis’ defense attorney says Deyanna Davis is not a cooperating witness for the prosecution. Jeff Preval is an award-winning anchor and reporter who joined the News 4 team in December 2021.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — For one day at least, the U.S. Open was wide open. Five of the top six on the leaderboard played their way onto The Country Club course through qualifying. The other was four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who slammed and tossed aside his clubs during the round but also made enough shots with them to remain just one stroke off the lead. “It’s been eight years since I won a major,” McIlroy said after shooting a 3-under 67 to end the day in a five-way tie for second behind Adam Hadwin. “And I just want to get my hands on one again.” A 34-year-old Canadian who only secured a spot in Brookline eight days earlier, Hadwin had five birdies on the front nine, then played the back at even par to finish with a 66. McIlroy was tied for second with Callum Tarren, David Lingmerth, Joel Dahmen and MJ Daffue. It was a big sports day in Boston: FIFA announced on Thursday afternoon that the area will host 2026 World Cup matches, and the Red Sox had a matinee against Oakland. (The A’s won 4-3). The Celtics lost Game 6 of the NBA Finals 103-90 to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, with McIlroy among those heading to the TD Garden for the game. RORY ROARS McIlroy has been the most vocal defender of the PGA Tour against the new LIV Golf circuit throwing Saudi Arabian money around to attract big-name defectors. But the best thing he can do for the legacy circuit is to keep winning. Days after his victory in the RBC Open, McIlroy made back-to-back birdies on the way in to become the first player to reach 4 under. He missed the ninth green -- his 18th hole -- and settled for his only bogey of the round. “Even though I’m standing up here slightly frustrated that I bogeyed the last, it’s a great start to the tournament,” he said. “The margins are just so fine in this tournament, and I think you can sort of see that out there with some of the reactions.” McIlroy took two angry swings at the sand on No. 5 after advancing his ball from a terrible lie on the lip of one bunker right into the next trap. But he got up and down from the sand, making a 13-footer to save par. On No. 9, he tossed aside a club in disgust during a bogey that kept him from the overall lead. The emotion was “almost to remind yourself sometimes how much it means to you,” he said. MAJOR STREAKS In his attempt to win a major for the third straight year, Collin Morikawa made the turn at 3 under but didn’t make another birdie. On No. 18, a par 4, he had to lay up short of the bunker, pitched into the trap and then went up-and-down from there for bogey to finish 1 under. “I never expect it to get easier,” he said. “We’re at a U.S. Open. We’re at a major championship. ... I think it will only get tougher." Defending U.S. Open champion John Rahm also salvaged a 69 after driving wide left on the last two holes. He hit a second drive on No. 17 in case the ball couldn't be found, and sent that one off-course as well before a marshal found his original ball. He saved par. “I fully know how lucky I got on that (17th) hole, and I tried to take advantage to make a birdie," he said. “But I’ll take the 4 and run any day of the week.” On the 18th, Rahm hooked his drive over the fence toward the television compound, and two kids ran off with the ball. He took his drop and left himself a 12-foot birdie putt to finish with a 69. “If that doesn’t scream to you it’s the Open,” then nothing will, he said. “Sometimes you play good golf and can’t get things going and sometimes you get a break.” LIV XIV Dustin Johnson staked his claim to the early bragging rights among the 14 players who have signed on with the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV Golf. That is, if they're bragging about anything other than the nine-figure checks some of them are reportedly cashing. Johnson shot 68 to sit in a seven-way tie for seventh after 18 holes. James Piot was one stroke back, Patrick Reed was among three golfers who came in at an even 70 and Bryson DeChambeau was 1 over. The Open wasn't as kind to the rest of the LIV XIV, including six-time major champion Phil Mickelson, who was 8 over with a 78, and 2010 British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen, who shot 77. ___ More AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — (AP) — Of the thousands of emotions — trepidation among them — running through Damar Hamlin’s head Monday while he pulled on his pads for practice for the first time at training camp, the one that ultimately won out was joy. For everything the Buffalo Bills safety has overcome in seven months since going into cardiac arrest during a game and needing to be resuscitated on the field, Hamlin leaned on his faith in God and himself, along with the support from his family and teammates, to take another step toward resume his playing career. “A super big hurdle as you can imagine. Like, I pretty much lost my life playing this sport,” Hamlin said at a news conference after practice. “I made the choice to play. But I’m processing a thousand emotions. I’m not afraid to say that it crosses my mind of being a little scared here and there,” he added. “My faith is stronger than any fear. That’s what I want to preach up here. And that’s the message I want to spread on to the world that as long as your faith is stronger than your fear, you can get through anything.” Though Hamlin was cleared to resume practicing in mid-April, he did so wearing a helmet and shorts with the rest of his teammates through their spring sessions and first four days of training camp, as mandated by NFL rules. The magnitude of the Bills' first day in pads wasn't lost on Hamlin, given it marked the first time he was in full uniform since collapsing on the field in Cincinnati on Jan. 2 after making what appeared to be a routine tackle of Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. “Ah man, it feels amazing. It’s a roller coaster of emotions. I was kind of all over the place just being back for the first time,” Hamlin said. “Just trying to keep everything as normal as possible.” The normality of football struck him about an hour into practice when Hamlin took the field for the first time during a team red-zone running drill in which tackling was still not allowed. On his second play, Hamlin showed no hesitation when bursting toward Damien Harris and wrapping him up with both arms. A play later, running back James Cook broke a tackle before Hamlin joined a teammate in wrapping him up just before the goal line. Hamlin’s biggest contact came on the final play of practice, when he avoided a block to work his way into the backfield and help a teammate stop tight end Quintin Morris for what would have been a loss. “That first little moment of contact, that was just letting me know. I felt alive, man. I felt like I’m here,” Hamlin said with a wide grin. “So it felt good. It was just that moment of: ‘All right, let’s settle in and let’s just take one play at a time. Let’s just keep going.’” Hamlin’s only lament was not having any balls thrown in his direction during team drills, though he laughed when saying that might not be a bad thing. “When the ball’s not coming my way, that makes you think you’re doing your job right,” Hamlin said. “But, you know, I would love some more opportunities to make a big play and turn practice up a bit.” The 25-year-old from the Pittsburgh area is entering his third NFL season. Selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2021 draft out of Pitt, he opened last season as a backup before starting 13 games after Micah Hyde sustained a season-ending neck injury. This year, Hamlin is competing with offseason free agent addition Taylor Rapp for a backup role behind Hyde and Jordan Poyer. As for Hamlin’s next hurdle, it’ll come Aug. 12, when the Bills open their preseason schedule at home against Indianapolis. Rapp, who spent his first four NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, might be new to Buffalo but is impressed with how Hamlin has handled himself. “How far he’s come and what he’s able to come back from late last season and just seeing how he goes about himself and attacks the rehab at the facility is nothing short of inspiring,” Rapp said. A day earlier, coach Sean McDermott said he was walking a fine line in treating Hamlin much like any other player, while keeping in mind what he’s gone through. “I think awareness is important, right? You’ve got X amount of guys out here and then you have Damar in there as well and trying to make it as a normal as possible,” McDermott said. “We’re going to support him through this, and to this point he’s done a phenomenal job.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Patients and health care providers continue to express their support of nurse practitioners and the need for greater access to NP-delivered care. The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) applauds the results of a poll that shows 82% of patients support allowing nurse practitioners (NPs) to practice to the full extent of their education and clinical training, including through telehealth. The survey commissioned by the Alliance for Connected Care and conducted by Morning Consult also finds nearly 80% of health care providers — including a sample of physicians, NPs, PAs, nurses and therapists — also agree NPs should be practicing to the full extent of their training. "The results of this survey come as no surprise, given the high-quality health care NPs deliver — in person and via telehealth — and the high degree of trust patients place in NPs," said April N. Kapu, DNP, APRN, ACNP- BC, FAANP, FCCM, FAAN, president of AANP. "Recently, both New York and Kansas enacted legislation that removes barriers to NP-delivered care. Currently 26 states have Full Practice Authority. It's time for the remaining 24 states to do the same, and this poll clearly shows most Americans support that action." In 2021, Delaware and Massachusetts enacted Full Practice Authority (FPA), expanding patient access to quality care, and New York and Kansas enacted FPA legislation this year. For the first time in history, patients in a majority of states have full and direct access to NPs. NPs deliver high-quality health care in more than 1 billion patient visits each year. Currently, there are more than 355,000 licensed NPs in the United States who provide care in communities of all sizes, and recently, U.S. News and World Report ranked the NP role first on its 2022 Best Health Care Jobs list. The poll commissioned by the Alliance for Connected Care covered a number of topics asking patients and practitioners about their telehealth usage and telehealth experiences, their use of care across state lines and the workforce implications of these developments.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Defense Ministry says it has withdrawn its forces from a Black Sea island near Ukraine’s port of Odesa. The ministry said that it pulled back its forces from the Zmiyinyy (Snake) Island Thursday in what it described as a “goodwill gesture.” It added that the pullout has demonstrated that “the Russian Federation wasn’t hampering the United Nations’ efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor for taking agricultural products from the territory of Ukraine.” Ukraine and the West have accused Russian of blockading Ukrainian ports to prevent the exports of grain, contributing to the global food crisis. Russia has denied the accusations and charged that Ukraine needs to remove sea mines from the Black Sea to allow safe navigation. Russia took control of the island in the opening days of its military action in Ukraine in an apparent hope to use it to control the area and use it as a staging ground for an attack on Odesa. Russian forces stationed there have come under relentless Ukrainian attacks. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops fought Thursday to encircle the last bulwark of Ukraine's resistance in an eastern province, as funerals were to be held for those who were killed by a Russian strike on a shopping mall in central Ukraine earlier this week. Moscow’s push to take control of the entire Donbas region from Ukraine is focused on Lysychansk, the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in the Luhansk province. Russian troops and their separatist allies control 95% of Luhansk and about half of Donetsk, the two provinces that make up the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas. The Ukrainian General Staff said that the Russian troops were shelling Lysychansk and clashing with Ukrainian defenders around an oil refinery on the edge of the city. Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said that Russian reconaissance units tried to enter Lysychansk Wednesday, but were repelled by the Ukrainian forces. He said the Russians were trying to block a highway used to deliver supplies and fully encircle the city. “The Russians have thrown practically all their forces to seize the city,” Haidai said. Speaking on a visit to Turkmenistan early Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said his goals in Ukraine haven't changed since the start of the war. He said they were “the liberation of the Donbas, the protection of these people and the creation of conditions that would guarantee the security of Russia itself.” He made no mention of his original stated goals to “demilitarize” and “de-Nazify” Ukraine. He denied Russia had adjusted its strategy after failing to take Kyiv in the early stage of the conflict. “As you can see, the troops are moving and reaching the marks that were set for them for a certain stage of this combat work. Everything is going according to plan,” Putin said at a news conference in Turkmenistan. Meanwhile, funerals were to be held Thursday for some of the 18 people confirmed killed by Monday's Russian missile strike on a busy shopping mall in Kremenchuk. Crews continued to search through the rubble in search of another 20 people who remain missing. Ukrainian State Emergency Services press officer Svitlana Rybalko told The Associated Press that along with the 18 bodies, investigators found fragments of eight more bodies. It was not immediately clear whether that meant there were more victims. A number of survivors suffered severed limbs. After the attack on the mall, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of becoming a “terrorist” state. On Wednesday, he reproached NATO for not embracing or equipping his embattled country more fully. “The open-door policy of NATO shouldn’t resemble old turnstiles on Kyiv’s subway, which stay open but close when you approach them until you pay,” Zelenskyy told NATO leaders meeting in Madrid, speaking by video link. “Hasn’t Ukraine paid enough? Hasn’t our contribution to defending Europe and the entire civilization been sufficient?” He asked for more modern artillery systems and other weapons and warned the NATO leaders they either had to provide Ukraine with the help it needed to defeat Russia or “face a delayed war between Russia and yourself.” In southern Ukraine, the death toll from Wednesday's Russian missile strike on an apartment building in Mykolaiv rose to six, according to Gov. Vitaliy Kim. Another six people were wounded. Mykolaiv is a major port and seizing it — as well as Odesa farther west — would be key to Russia’s objective of cutting off Ukraine from its Black Sea coast. ___ Follow the AP’s coverage of the war at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis Innovation Group's cultivate(MD) Capital Funds LP, funds that are focused on investments into early-stage healthcare companies with innovative technologies, announced today that one of their portfolio companies, Bingham Farms, MI based SpinTech MRI announced a $6.5 million Series A financing. SpinTech MRI are the creators of the FDA-cleared STAGE™ (STrategically Acquired Gradient Echo) quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) platform that speeds and improves the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and other neurological diseases. Led by Genesis Innovation Group's cultivate(MD) Capital Fund and Level 8 Ventures, the funding will be used to expand deployments of STAGE software for neurologists, radiologists and researchers. The STAGE platform is already deployed at more than 50 hospitals and institutions, including the Yale School of Medicine, for advanced research, analysis, and treatment of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. The platform also is used to increase diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for conditions including multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and cerebral microbleeds (CMB). STAGE has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use on both 1.5T and 3T systems from all MRI manufacturers. "This funding round from venture capital leaders in healthcare IT and medical devices enables us to expand awareness and deployment of the STAGE platform among neurologists, radiologists and researchers at scale," said SpinTech MRI President and CEO Karen Holzberger. "Neurologists using our software report that it is the first practical and efficient quantitative MRI solution with comprehensive data and visualization tools to inform diagnosis and treatment. Radiologists also find that it increases imaging efficiency and clinical value without requiring time-consuming training, testing and validation, or changes to already demanding workflows. Care teams simply choose which image outputs they want to examine, rather than which sequences to run, as STAGE gives them all the data and images they need in a single rapid protocol." Matt Ahearn, Managing Director, cultivate(MD) Funds said, "We are very excited to co-lead the Series A financing into SpinTech MRI and support the tremendous progress of the team. Since joining the SpinTech MRI team as CEO in January 2022, Karen Holzberger has done an incredible job of aligning the R&D and commercial efforts to ensure a focused and efficient go-to-market strategy. The SpinTech MRI's STAGE SaaS platform is bringing quantifiable economic and clinical value to all of its customers, helping clinicians better diagnose and develop treatment plans for their patients with neurodegenerative diseases." SpinTech MRI was founded 2017 by internationally recognized MRI industry professionals to transform quantitative MRI imaging with advanced data acquisition and visualization tools that are easy to deploy and practical for everyday clinical use. The company's STAGE software platform significantly enhances MRI efficiency and clinical value for neurologists, radiologists, and other physicians to improve quality of life and care outcomes for patients with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, cerebral microbleeds (CMB), and other neurological diseases.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Down three runs in the ninth inning, the Cincinnati Reds got one-out solo homers from Jake Fraley and Will Benson off Raisel Iglesias. Could they extend a winning streak to 13 games for the first time in a century? Not quite. Iglesias struck out Matt McLain and Jonathan India, and the Atlanta Braves prevailed 7-6 in an eight-homer slugfest on Saturday to stop the Reds’ winning streak at 12 games. “I wish we won 100 in a row,” Spencer Steer said. “We played some really good baseball the last two weeks. We’ve built a pretty good culture, good bond in that clubhouse and I think we believe that we can play with these heavyweights.” Each team homered four times. Matt Olson hit the 200th of his big league career and Travis d’Arnaud and Ozzie Albies also went deep off Graham Ashcraft (3-6), who allowed three long balls for the first time in 33 big league starts. Marcell Ozuna homered against Alex Young as the Braves won for the ninth time in 10 games. McLain and Steer hit two-run homers for the Reds, and Fraley homered for the third straight game. Iglesias, who pitched for the Reds from 2015-20, started the ninth by striking out TJ Friedl. After the homers, Iglesias got his 11th save in 13 chances. “I never feel safe here with a lead and I never feel like we’re out of it,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “You never feel good until it’s over.” Cincinnati’s winning streak was its longest since April 30 to May 12, 1957. The Reds have not won 13 straight since their final six games in 1918 and their first seven in 1919. “It was quite a streak,” Reds manager David Bell said. “It went on for a while so we didn’t get used to it and that’s a good thing. It was a great streak. We all appreciate what we were able to accomplish against good teams and we learned a lot about ourselves and we became a better team. We became stronger. But as appreciative of the streak as we are, everything who we are and what we have in our clubhouse does not go away.” Boosted by the streak, the Reds drew 43,498 for their first consecutive full-capacity sellouts since June 24-26, 2016, when Pete Rose’s No. 14 was retired. “Everybody in this clubhouse enjoys playing in that type of atmosphere,” d’Arnaud said. “It was like the playoffs. Their energy was contagious. Electric, for sure.” Michael Tonkin (2-0) pitched 2 1/3 hitless innings for the Braves, who won eight in a row before losing Friday’s series opener. Ashcraft made his first start since he was hit by a comebacker June 8. He allowed six runs and 10 hits in four innings. “I felt like that was one of the better outings that I’ve had in a while. It just didn’t go our way today,” he said. Atlanta took a 2-0 lead on solo homers by d’Arnaud in the second and Albies in the third, the latter a drive off the bridge connecting the Sun and Moon Deck in right with the main concourse. Ozuna added an RBI single in the third and McLain’s homer cut the gap to 3-2. Austin Riley hit an RBI double in the fourth and scored on Olson’s NL-leading 24th home run, his third of the series. Ozuna’s seventh-inning homer was his 15th of the season and 13th since the start of May, and it put the Braves ahead 7-4. TRAINER’S ROOM Braves: C Sean Murphy (hamstring) is expected to start behind the plate on Sunday. He has made one pinch hit appearance since getting hurt a week ago. Reds: RHP Ben Lively (right pectoral muscle strain) was placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Wednesday. Lively had been scheduled to start Sunday. … Ashcraft (bruised left calf) was activated from the 15-day IL and RHP Alan Busenitz was optioned to Triple-A Louisville. UP NEXT Atlanta starts 39-year-old RHP Charlie Morton (6-6, 3.71) on Sunday. Lively’s replacement had not been announced. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

U.S. Olympic long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall has been forced to forfeit her indoor national title and serve a one-month suspension after testing positive for marijuana earlier this year. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced the punishment Tuesday for the 23-year-old, saying she tested positive for THC, a chemical found in cannabis and hashish. The positive test came from a sample that was collected at the Track and Field indoor championships on Feb. 17, the same day she won the long jump title. While her suspension concluded last week, USADA has also disqualified all of Davis-Woodhall's competitive results obtained on and subsequent to Feb. 17, which includes the forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) classifies THC in a special category that allows for a reduced suspension if an athlete complies with several requirements. "Davis-Woodhall’s period of ineligibility was reduced to one month because her use of cannabis occurred out-of-competition and was unrelated to sport performance, and because she successfully completed a substance of abuse treatment program regarding her use of cannabis," USADA said in a statement. Davis-Woodhall, who is also a hurdler, competes out of the University of Texas and placed sixth in the women's long jump final at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. There has been much debate in recent years over whether THC should remain on the list of banned substances, after U.S. sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was stripped of her 100-meter title and banned from competing in the 2021 Olympics due to a positive test. WADA sets the rules for international competition, but USADA said it will continue to advocate to the agency that marijuana should be treated in a "fairer and more effective way."

NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: YMAB) between October 6, 2020 and October 28, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). A class action has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 20, 2023. SO WHAT: If you purchased Y-Mabs securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Y-mAbs class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9496 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 20, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Y-mAbs repeatedly misled investors about its meetings with the FDA, claiming that it was making progress in demonstrating the effectiveness and efficacy of its drug candidate, omburtamab. What was unknown to investors was that the FDA had repeatedly advised Y-mAbs that the treatment of effect of omburtamab cannot be objectively established or quantified based on a comparison between Study 03-133 and an external cohort comprised of data from the Central German Childhood Cancer Registry (CGCCR) database because of substantial differences in the patient populations, and the absence of tumor response data, and that Study 101 was neither sufficiently advanced nor indicative of efficacy to justify approval. Further, Y-mAbs failed to advise investors that it had elected to submit the March 31, 2022 BLA prior to reaching agreement with the FDA on the content of the application. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Y-mAbs, investors suffered damages. To join the Y-mAbs class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9496 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A 14-year-old girl who was reported missing was recently found on at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, authorities confirmed. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department told KRON4 sister station FOX 5 that the juvenile was reported missing by her grandmother on Tuesday, June 13. A deputy with the Rancho San Diego Sheriff’s Station responded to the grandmother’s home in Spring Valley on the same day to take a missing person report, the department explained. The grandmother allegedly told the deputy her granddaughter ran away from home on Friday, June 9. The teen’s information was entered into multiple missing person databases, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). SDSO says these databases informed other law enforcement agencies of the juvenile’s disappearance. Family Protection Detail Detectives received the case for follow-up investigation and continued working the case by following up on potential leads. On Wednesday, June 28 military police at Camp Pendleton located the teen and informed the sheriff’s department. That information was confirmed Friday by Melissa Aquino with the media relations office representing the sheriff’s department. Authorities say detectives interviewed the teen and she was returned to her grandmother. Since Camp Pendleton is federal property, the Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS) is handling the investigation, according to Aquino. She says the sheriff’s department and the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force are supporting NCIS with the investigation. FOX 5 reached out to officials from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton for comment on the matter. Capt. Charles Palmer, Director of Communication Strategy and Operations for the 1st Marine Logistics Group, confirmed that a Marine with Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group was taken into custody for questioning by NCIS on June 28 as seen in a social media post in connection to this incident. “The incident is under investigation, and we will continue to cooperate with NCIS and appropriate authorities,” said Capt. Palmer. It is the policy of SDSO not to release identifying information about minor victims, meaning the identity of 14-year-old is being withheld at this time. The identity of the Marine taken in for questioning has also not been released. An investigation into the circumstances leading up to this situation remains ongoing.

New Interactive Tool Allows Pet Lovers to Research Potential Dangers in Their Area MINNEAPOLIS, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Pet Poison Prevention Month in March, the toxicology experts at Pet Poison Helpline analyzed five years of proprietary call data and are releasing the next iteration of Toxin Trends, an online tool designed to help consumers and veterinary professionals research dangerous and potentially deadly toxins in their area. "Last year we released our first Toxin Trends dashboard, which analyzed the most-reported dangerous plants in each market," said Dr. Renee Schmid, a senior veterinary toxicologist at Pet Poison Helpline. "Our new Toxin Trends tool identifies the top 20 potentially dangerous toxins to pets based on our last five years of call data and identifies where in the United States and Canada pets are most at risk for that particular exposure. These toxins include medications, foods, plants, chemicals, and other potentially harmful items." The tool also lists what clinical signs were reported for each toxin. As expected, the number one reported toxin in every state and province for dogs is chocolate. After chocolate, however, various regional differences emerge. In a number of states such as Texas and North Dakota, the artificial sweetener Xylitol is the second-most common toxin call for dogs. For birds in California, the wood preservative copper naphthenate was the most common call over the last five years, followed by avocados. In many states, including Texas, lily poisoning was the most common call regarding cats. "Some of the items included in the Top 20 toxins for each state are pretty obvious, such as chocolate and rat poison, but unusual dangers such as wood preservatives and even avocados rank high in some states for different species," added Dr. Schmid. "Unlike in the United Staties, Canadian households have more cats than dogs, and that preference is reflected in our Toxin Trends call data," said Dr. Schmid. "We receive a higher percentage of cat-related calls from Canadians than we do from U.S. pet owners. Nearly 20% of our calls from Quebec over the last five years, for example, involve cats. That is higher than any U.S. state." "We wanted to share our proprietary data to help educate pet lovers and veterinary professionals about which poisons are most prevalent in their area," added Dr. Schmid. "Toxin Trends is free and easy to use, and we hope people find it valuable.

The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate rose for the fifth straight week to its highest level since breaching 7% in November, just as the spring buying season gets ready to kick off. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year rate climbed to 6.73% from 6.65% last week. The average rate a year ago was 3.85%. The average long-term rate hit 7.08% in the fall — a two-decade high — as the Federal Reserve continued to raise its key lending rate in a bid to cool the economy and quash persistent, four-decade high inflation. At its first meeting of 2023 in February, the Fed raised its benchmark lending rate by another 25 basis points, its eighth increase in less than a year. That pushed the central bank’s key rate to a range of 4.5% to 4.75%, its highest level in 15 years. Many economists expect at least three more increases before the end of the year. In remarks to a Senate committee earlier this week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell appeared to imply that the Fed would return to larger rates hikes at its next meeting March 21-22. That sent markets tumbling on Tuesday, but Powell seemed to soften his stance on Wednesday during his appearance before the House, saying that Fed policymakers have yet to decide how large an interest rate hike to impose at its meeting in two weeks as it tries to corral high inflation. While the Fed’s rate hikes do impact borrowing rates across the board for businesses and families, rates on 30-year mortgages usually track the moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing loans. Investors’ expectations for future inflation, global demand for U.S. Treasurys and what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates can also influence the cost of borrowing for a home. Before falling back under 5% Thursday, the 10-year yield jumped to 5.07% earlier this week, its highest level since 2007. The big rise in mortgage rates during the past year has hit the housing market hardest, with sales of existing homes falling for 12 straight months to the slowest pace in more than a dozen years. January’s sales cratered by nearly 37% from a year earlier, the National Association of Realtors reported last month. For all of 2022, NAR reported last month that existing U.S. home sales fell 17.8% from 2021, the weakest year for home sales since 2014 and the biggest annual decline since the housing crisis began in 2008. Higher rates can add hundreds of a dollars a month in costs for homebuyers, on top of already high home prices. The rate for a 15-year mortgage, popular with those refinancing their homes, rose this week to to 5.95% from 5.89% last week. It was 3.09% one year ago.

Rep. Karen Bass has defeated businessman Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor’s race, according to an Associated Press projection Wednesday, making her the first woman and second Black Angeleno elected to lead the city in its 241-year history. The 69-year-old congresswoman achieved victory despite Caruso spending more than $100 million of his own fortune on his mayoral bid, shattering local spending records and pumping previously unprecedented sums into field outreach and TV advertising. “The results are in, and it is the honor of my life to be elected as your mayor,” Bass said in a Wednesday afternoon email to supporters. “It’s time to house people immediately, increase safety and opportunity in every neighborhood, and create a new standard of ethics and accountability at City Hall.” The award-winning Los Angeles Times’ photo staff works across Southern California, the state, the nation and the world to bring readers images that inform and inspire daily.

GUADALUPE, Ariz. (AP) — Over the past decade, Latinos in Arizona responded to a tough crackdown on immigrants by building a turnout machine that helped propel Democrats to power, turning a longtime Republican stronghold into one of the most competitive states. The strength of that movement will be tested in Tuesday’s election, when Democrats are counting on strong support from Latinos to help them overcome concerns about the economy. It comes as Democrats worry that their standing among Latinos is slipping. The party suffered surprising losses in 2020 in places such as South Florida, where immigrants from Cuba and Venezuela tend to be more conservative, and South Texas. In Arizona, where Latinos tend to be younger and more recent immigrants, they may prove decisive in the battle for control of the Senate and in a crucial race for governor. “The question is, will young Latino voters come out and vote? Because that actually is what probably will determine whether we’re going over the top or not,” said Ruben Gallego, a Democrat congressman who represents largely Latino neighborhoods in south and west Phoenix. Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly is counting on those Latino voters to help him repeat his victory in a special election two years ago. So is Katie Hobbs, the nominee for governor, as Democrats try to win the state’s top office for the first time since 2006. Latinos, roughly one-third of Arizona’s population, accounted for less than one-fifth of voters in 2020, but they have long favored Democrats with their support. The same is true in Nevada, where Catherine Cortez-Masto, the first Hispanic woman elected to the Senate, is one of the chamber’s most endangered Democrats. Democrats watching early ballot returns say turnout in Latino areas is lagging white areas of Arizona. That’s not necessarily cause for alarm, Gallego said. In the 2018 midterm elections, young Latinos waited until the last minute to vote or return their mail ballot, he said. They ultimately helped deliver a victory for Kyrsten Sinema, the first Democrat to win an Arizona Senate race in two decades. Donald Trump made inroads in his 2020 presidential run, increasing his share of the Latino vote to 38% from 28% in 2016, according to an analysis of validated voters by the Pew Research Center. It wasn’t enough to reelect Trump, but gains among Latinos helped the GOP pick up seats in Congress, particularly in South Texas and Florida. In Arizona, young Latinos organized in the aftermath of a 2010 law that required police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspected to be in the country illegally. The measure was the catalyst for a wave of legislation around the country cracking down on immigrants. Leaders of that movement now hold prominent positions: Gallego is in Congress and Raquel Terán is a state senator and chair of the Arizona Democratic Party. Latinos are an integral part of the coalition that has pushed Arizona into winnable territory for Democrats, but they can’t deliver the state on their own, said Brendan Walsh, co-political director of Unite Here Local 11 and its affiliated political group, Worker Power. “If we get Latinos to perform as we want them to but we lose ground in the suburbs, we lose,” Walsh said. “But there’s no amount of votes we can pick up in the suburbs that makes up for a drop off in Latino voters. We need it to be terrific in order to win.” Unite Here’s hotel and food service workers are canvassing six days a week, focusing on turning out Black and Latino voters who have said they support Hobbs and Kelly but might need an extra push to vote, he said. “We are out there really digging in to find new supporters, but also to make sure that the people who told us in the last few weeks that they’re Hobbs supporters are going to vote,” he said. Republicans think rising prices and economic anxiety give them an opening to make the case to Latinos that they cannot afford Democratic leadership. Republicans worked aggressively to tie Democratic candidates to President Joe Biden, who is unpopular in Arizona. He has not been in Arizona as part of his late election swing, though first lady Jill Biden campaigned in the state on Saturday for Kelly and Hobbs. “Hispanics care about jobs. They’re against inflation. They want a secure border,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who leads the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, said after an event last month at a Latino outreach office for the party in Phoenix. “They want their kids to get a good education. Hispanics are fed up that the public school system wants to teach their kids critical race theory.” Democrats point to GOP Senate nominee Blake Masters’ opposition to a path to citizenship for “dreamers,” young people brought to the country illegally as children. Democrats also cite his promotion of the racist conspiracy theory that Democrats are using immigration to replace Americans. Masters said his focus on border security resonates with most Latinos. “The Latino voters I talked to are sick and tired of the wide open southern border,” Masters said. “These folks are excited to vote Republican this November. They came legally. This country welcomes immigrants when you come legally, but the correct amount of illegal immigration is zero.” In the governor’s race, Lake has grabbed onto a moment from Hobbs’ appearance at a candidate forum sponsored by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Asked what she’s learned from the Latino community, Hobbs froze and struggled through an awkward answer mentioning she enjoys “practicing my Español” with her Latina sister-in-law. “She stuttered and stammered her way through a softball question of what has she learned from the Latino community. She couldn’t come up with one thing,” Lake said at a news conference last month. Asked to answer the question herself, Lake said her husband and daughter are Latino. “They’re the most hardworking, devoted to their family,” Lake said of Latinos. “They show us that there’s a balance in life — when you put your faith in God, you love your family, you work hard you can you can have that American dream.” Hobbs has prioritized outreach to Latinos in the final weeks. She spent a weekend touring Latino communities and last week met with Latina business owners. “You can’t separate Latino culture from Arizona and who we are as a state,” Hobbs told The Associated Press. “I thought a lot about people I worked with in my career as a social worker and the things I’ve learned particularly from Latina women I had a chance to work with at the domestic violence shelter.” Hobbs was a social worker and a leader of a domestic violence shelter before turning to politics in 2010, when she was elected to the Legislature. She’s now Arizona’s secretary of state. For Felipa Alvarez of Guadalupe, a small Latino and indigenous community a few miles from where Hobbs grew up in Tempe, no amount of outreach from Lake can overcome her embrace of Trump. “In my opinion Kari Lake is Trump’s puppet,” Alvarez said. “When Trump endorsed her, forget it, you’re out of the picture for me.” ___ Follow the AP’s coverage of the 2022 midterm elections at https://apnews.com/hub/2022-midterm-elections.

- Analyses included 100-week efficacy and safety data from the four-year, open-label extension period of KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 evaluating SKYRIZI in patients with active psoriatic arthritis1 - Ongoing treatment with SKYRIZI demonstrated consistent long-term efficacy in psoriatic arthritis with similar rates of improvement in skin (PASI 90) and joint (ACR, enthesitis, dactylitis) symptoms at week 100 as those reported at week 521 - No new safety signals were observed through 100 weeks1-4 NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) announced new, long-term data analyses of KEEPsAKE 1 and 2, Phase 3 trials evaluating SKYRIZI® (risankizumab, 150 mg) in adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. Results showed that at week 100 of the open-label extension period, patients receiving SKYRIZI reported improvement in skin and joint symptoms, with more than half of patients in KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 achieving a 90 percent reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) and an American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response. Additionally, the data demonstrated no new observed safety signals through 100 weeks.1-4 These results were featured during the "Late Breaking News" session at the 31st European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Hybrid Congress onsite in Milan and online. "We're pleased to share these new, nearly two-year analyses, which showed SKYRIZI maintained improvements across joint and skin measures of psoriatic arthritis over time," said Doina Cosma-Roman, M.D., vice president and global head, Clinical Development, Immunology, AbbVie. "It is critically important for physicians to have treatment options that demonstrate lasting efficacy, as we know people living with psoriatic arthritis discontinue therapies due to loss of efficacy or tolerability." The new data from the open-label extension period showed that at 100 weeks, 64 and 57 percent of patients initially treated with SKYRIZI achieved ACR20 response in KEEPsAKE 1 and 2, respectively.1 Additionally, at week 100, 71 and 67 percent of patients from KEEPsAKE 1 and 2, respectively, initially treated with SKYRIZI and who had a body surface area involvement greater than or equal to ≥3 percent at baseline, achieved PASI 90.1 Furthermore, at week 100, pooled results from KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 showed that 76 and 57 percent of patients, respectively, initially treated with SKYRIZI achieved resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis.1 For patients in KEEPsAKE 1 with nail psoriasis at baseline and who were initially treated with SKYRIZI, mean scores for Physician's Global Assessment of Fingernail Psoriasis (PGA-F) and modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (mNAPSI) were maintained at week 100 compared with week 52.1 "Psoriatic arthritis often presents with musculoskeletal symptoms, including pain and swelling in the knees, wrists, ankles and fingers, as well as pain in the hips and heels, which can significantly reduce a person's quality of life," said Lars Erik Kristensen, M.D., Ph.D., consultant and head of science at the Parker Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark and associate professor, SUS University Hospital in Lund, Sweden. "These results highlight SKYRIZI's potential to relieve symptoms in both biologic-naïve and -experienced patients with active psoriatic arthritis in the long-term." SKYRIZI was generally well-tolerated, and no new safety signals were noted in both KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 at 100 weeks of treatment.1-4 Serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred at 7.6 events/100 patient-years (E/100PY) and 9.9 E/100PY in KEEPsAKE 1 and 2, respectively.1 Rates of serious infections in KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 were 2.3 and 1.6 E/100PY, respectively.1 Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) occurred at 0.1 E/100PY in KEEPsAKE 1 and 0.5 E/100PY in KEEPsAKE 2.1 The rates of TEAEs leading to discontinuation of the study drug in KEEPsAKE 1 was 2.1 E/100PY and 1.2 E/100PY in KEEPsAKE 2.1 There were six deaths in KEEPsAKE 1, which were not related to the study drug, per investigator.1* In KEEPsAKE 2, there was one death not related to the study drug, per investigator.1 SKYRIZI is part of a collaboration between Boehringer Ingelheim and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and commercialization globally. About Psoriatic Arthritis Psoriatic arthritis is a heterogeneous, systemic and inflammatory disease with hallmark manifestations across multiple domains including joints and skin.5,6 In psoriatic arthritis, the immune system creates inflammation that can lead to pain, fatigue, stiffness in the joints and cause a red, scaly rash.5,6 About KEEPsAKE 1 and 21-4,7,8 KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 are both Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled studies designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SKYRIZI in adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. KEEPsAKE 1 included patients with an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more conventional synthetic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARD-IR), while KEEPsAKE 2 included patients with an inadequate response to csDMARD-IR and/or with an inadequate response or intolerance to one or two biologic therapies. In the first phase of the studies (Period 1), patients were randomized to SKYRIZI or placebo through week 24. At week 24, the open-label extension (Period 2) began, and all patients were treated with SKYRIZI. The two studies are ongoing to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of SKYRIZI in patients with psoriatic arthritis. More information on these trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (KEEPsAKE 1: NCT03675308; KEEPsAKE 2: NCT03671148). About SKYRIZI® (risankizumab) SKYRIZI is an interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor that selectively blocks IL-23 by binding to its p19 subunit.9,10 IL-23, a cytokine involved in inflammatory processes, is thought to be linked to a number of chronic, immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis.9 SKYRIZI is approved in the U.S. to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy, as well as to treat active psoriatic arthritis in adults.11 In the EU, SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy; SKYRIZI, alone or in combination with methotrexate (MTX), is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adults who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).10 The approved dose for SKYRIZI is 150 mg (one 150 mg pre-filled pen or pre-filled syringe) administered by subcutaneous injections at week 0 and 4 and every 12 weeks thereafter.10 Phase 3 trials of SKYRIZI in psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are ongoing.12-14 EU Indications and Important Safety Information about SKYRIZI® (risankizumab)10 Indications Skyrizi (risankizumab) is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy. Skyrizi, alone or in combination with methotrexate (MTX), is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adults who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Important Safety Information Risankizumab is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Risankizumab may increase the risk of infection. In patients with a chronic infection, a history of recurrent infection, or known risk factors for infection, risankizumab should be used with caution. Treatment with risankizumab should not be initiated in patients with any clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. Prior to initiating treatment with risankizumab, patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis (TB) infection. Patients receiving risankizumab should be monitored for signs and symptoms of active TB. Anti-TB therapy should be considered prior to initiating risankizumab in patients with a history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Prior to initiating therapy with risankizumab, completion of all appropriate immunisations should be considered according to current immunisation guidelines. If a patient has received live vaccination (viral or bacterial), it is recommended to wait at least 4 weeks prior to starting treatment with risankizumab. Patients treated with risankizumab should not receive live vaccines during treatment and for at least 21 weeks after treatment. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were upper respiratory infections. Commonly (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10) reported adverse reactions included tinea infections, headache, pruritus, fatigue and injection site reactions. This is not a complete summary of all safety information.

DALLAS (AP) — A man fatally shot two Dallas hospital employees over the weekend, opening fire after accusing his girlfriend who had just given birth of infidelity, authorities said. Jacqueline Pokuaa, a 45-year-old social worker, and Katie Annette Flowers, a 63-year-old nurse, were killed in Saturday’s shooting at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, according to police and hospital officials. Authorities have said Nestor Hernandez, 30, opened fire around 11 a.m. while at the hospital for the birth of a child by his girlfriend. Hernandez, who was on parole from prison and had been granted permission to be at the hospital while wearing an ankle monitor, was shot and wounded by a police officer, authorities said. “In my opinion, this is a failure of our criminal justice system,” Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia said at a news conference Monday. “A violent individual such as this should not have been on ankle monitor and should have remained in custody.” Hernandez has been charged with capital murder but it wasn’t clear Monday if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. He was not listed among people being held in the Dallas County jail and authorities said that after the shooting he was treated at Methodist and then taken to another medical faculty for further treatment. Hernandez arrived at the hospital around 10:20 a.m. to visit the woman in delivery and began to strike her repeatedly in the head with a handgun, Garcia said. According to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by WFAA-TV, Hernandez started hitting his girlfriend after accusing her of infidelity. Hernandez then started making “ominous” calls and sending text messages to his family, told his girlfriend that they were both going to die and said “whoever comes in this room is going to die with us,” according to the Dallas TV station’s account of the affidavit. He shot Pokuaa when she came into the room to attend to the woman, then shot Flowers after she looked in the room upon hearing gunfire, Garcia said. Hospital police Sgt. Robert Rangel saw Flowers get shot, called for backup and took cover outside the room where Hernandez was reloading his gun, the chief said. When Hernandez emerged, Rangel shot him in the leg and, after a standoff, police took him into custody, Garcia said. Garcia said the woman Hernandez struck was treated for her injuries and that a newborn child who was in the room was not hurt. Hernandez was released from prison on parole last October after having been convicted of aggravated robbery, according to Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Amanda Hernandez. She said he was given permission to be with his “significant other” at the hospital during her delivery. Authorities haven’t released any information on how Hernandez came to have a gun while on parole for a felony conviction. Methodist Medical System Police Chief Glen Fowler said Monday that the hospital wasn’t given any notice of his criminal history or that he was being tracked with an ankle monitor. “That’s not something we normally inquire about for a parent,” Fowler said. “This is an extremely horrific, out-of-the-norm situation. I wish that we would have known, but that is not some information that was provided to us beforehand.” Garcia said Hernandez was sentenced to eight years for aggravated robbery, serving six before he was released on parole last year. In March 2022, he was arrested for a parole violation, then in April released to his parole officer. In June, Garcia said, Hernandez was arrested by police in a Dallas suburb for another parole violation, taken to a county jail and then turned over to the custody of Texas prisons, which released him this September with the ankle monitor he was wearing during the shooting. Dallas County records show that Nestor Hernandez has been arrested repeatedly since 2011, including on charges of aggravated robbery, burglary and the unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

Long before Bugatti made the 16-cylinder engine its calling card, Cadillac launched V-16-powered cars in a bid to outdo other luxury automakers. A prime example is this 1930 Cadillac V-16 452A, which recently appeared on an episode of “Jay Leno’s Garage.” The car comes from California’s Nethercutt Collection, and is presented here by Cameron Richards, the collection’s vice president. To keep the V-16 secret, Cadillac initially let slip that it was developing a V-12 to match Packard. So it must have been quite a surprise when the General Motors luxury division unleashed this massive engine on the public. Still, Marmon actually beat Cadillac to the punch, launching its own 16-cylinder engine a few weeks before Cadillac, Leno says in the episode. The overhead-valve engine displaces 7.4 liters but only develops about 180 hp. While that didn’t match the high-end Duesenbergs, it was still a very respectable figure for the time because there really was no replacement for displacement. The car’s massive torque allowed it to pull away in any of its three gears, according to Leno, though the big engine needs a “firehose” to supply all the fuel it needs. This specific car has the earlier body style, thought to be from 1928 to 1929, married to the 1930 Cadillac chassis and engine. The customer wanted a V-16 Cadillac with a dual-cowl phaeton body as quickly as possible, and the new body wasn’t ready yet. Not many people could have afforded this car when new. It cost $6,500 at a time when mass-market cars sold for a few hundred bucks. With the U.S. in the midst of the Great Depression, the launch wasn’t exactly well-timed. The V-16 was more about effortless acceleration than raw speed, Leno says. These Cadillacs weren’t as fast as contemporary Duesenbergs, but their generous torque almost makes the driving experience comparable to modern electric cars, he says. The smooth-running V-16 also offered a more refined experience than most cars of the period. The car weighs well over 7,000 lb, but it’s easy to drive with an easy-to-use clutch and great brakes, according to Richards. Cadillac continued making V-16 cars for about a decade, but eventually went back to slightly more sensible V-8 engines. Looking to recapture the brand’s glory days, GM unveiled the Cadillac Sixteen concept in 2003, but that never made it to production. Toward the end of the video, Jay gets the chance to drive the car. He remarks that it’s incredibly smooth and quiet, and that the manual steering is much better than other old cars. Watch the full video and revisit a time when a V-16 powered Cadillac to the front of the luxury-car class.

(NEXSTAR) – Starbucks has closed roughly two dozen locations throughout the country – but primarily on the West Coast – since this summer, saying safety concerns have made “providing a safe and welcoming and kind environment” challenging. In July, vice presidents of US operations Debbie Stroud and Denise Nelson wrote in a letter to employees emphasizing the importance of store safety. “You’re … seeing firsthand the challenges facing our communities – personal safety, racism, lack of access to healthcare, a growing mental health crisis, rising drug use, and more. With stores in thousands of communities across the country, we know these challenges can, at times, play out within our stores too. We read every incident report you file – it’s a lot,” they wrote. Stroud and Nelson noted that moving forward, stores may be closed permanently if safety is found to be “no longer possible.” A Starbucks spokesperson later confirmed to Nexstar that 16 locations would close by the end of July, including six in Los Angeles, five in Seattle, two in Portland, and one each in Philadelphia; the District of Columbia; and Everett, Washington. Since then, additional Starbucks stores have closed throughout the country, all citing safety concerns. A third location in Portland is set to close Thursday. A nearby business owner told Nexstar’s KOIN that homelessness, drugs, and violence have impacted the neighborhood recently. In early October, Starbucks closed its Canal Street location in New Orleans, again citing safety concerns and a rising level of threat reported by employees. A company spokesperson told Nexstar’s WSYR on Wednesday that Starbucks will close its store in downtown Syracuse soon due to unspecified safety concerns. Employees at a Kansas City location were told in August that their store was closing due to safety concerns, according to Nexstar’s WDAF. Some thought its recent effort to unionize, which failed, was also to blame. A location in downtown Indianapolis is set to close before the end of the month. Commander Phil Burton with the Indianapolis Metro Police Department’s Downtown District told Nexstar’s WXIN that Starbucks never shared any safety concerns with authorities. Union leaders in Colorado Springs told Nexstar’s KREX they requested a bargaining meeting with Starbucks for Oct. 24, only to have the company announce it would instead be closing the location Oct. 23 over health and safety concerns. A shift supervisor said they had asked for safety measures to be put in place before but never received any support. Other closures include locations in Spokane and Chicago (which was also scheduled to start bargaining for their first union contract, a local news outlet reports), meaning at least 24 Starbucks stores have closed or will close due to “safety concerns” before the end of the year. Nexstar reached out to Starbucks multiple times for additional information regarding stores that have been closed, as well as the policies Stroud and Nelson said would be enacted in their July letter. Those policies included training on de-escalating situations, preparing for an active shooter, mental health first aid trainings, adjusting stores and designing them for safety, and providing clear policies and procedures.

First, he cried with joy and shared the news with his family. Then, Thiago Almada needed to catch a plane. Quickly. The Atlanta United midfielder was called up to Argentina’s World Cup squad as an injury replacement mere days before the team’s opening game. ”I was a little surprised. The call made me cry,” he said. ”Then the first thing I did was tell my family and then I had to travel that night.” After a whirlwind campaign in Qatar that ended with Argentina lifting the game’s most prestigious trophy, Almada has returned for his second season with Atlanta United in Major League Soccer. Almada is the first active MLS player to win a World Cup. Twelve others who have played in MLS, including David Villa, Thierry Henry, Andrea Pirlo and Bastian Schweinsteiger, also won international soccer’s biggest trophy but none of them were in the league when they did it. Argentina’s successful run in the World Cup was challenging at the start, with a surprising loss to Saudi Arabia in the opening game. Some have called it one of the greatest upsets ever in the tournament. To Almada, that loss made winning the title in the end all the sweeter. ”It was a shock for us to lose that game in which we were in control so much of the game and then they scored two goals in five minutes. But I think it served us well,” Almada said through an interpreter. ”We were able to lift our heads and stay on the path that we wanted. And yeah, it just allowed us to be united.” Almada, 21, had only earned his first call-up to the national team in September, but he caught the eye of Lionel Messi, who praised him as both fresh and fast. ”Very mischievous,” Messi told reporters. ”He is not afraid of anything.” In Qatar, Almada made an appearance late in Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Poland in the group stage. Afterward he said: ”I’m the luckiest kid in the world.” Now he’s back in the United States, training with Atlanta in preparation for the MLS season, which begins Feb. 25. ”I think the best thing he can do is to keep his feet grounded and that’s exactly what he has shown since the very first day he’s been here in 2023 with us. He’s been on time in every meal, in every training session,” coach Gonzalo Pineda said. ”He’s been doing everything that’s normal. He’s very humble and I like that. So I would like to keep him with that little hunger.” Almada signed with Atlanta as a designated player in February 2022 for a reported transfer fee of $16 million, an MLS record. In his first season with United he had six goals and 12 assists, earning him the league’s Newcomer of the Year award. While Almada performed well individually, Atlanta finished 10-14-10, ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference standings and out of the playoffs for the second time in three years. The team took steps to improve with the hiring of President Garth Lagerwey from the Seattle Sounders, but there was dismay among fans with the recent buyout of Josef Martinez, who subsequently signed with Inter Miami. Almada remains a key piece as an attacking midfielder for United, along with goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defensive midfielder Ozzie Alonso. Vice President Carlos Bocanegra said this week the team is actively looking for a striker. ”My goal is to have a great season as a group,” Almada said. ”So we want to have a great preseason, then take it game by game, try to make the playoffs and hopefully be able to end it with a title at the end of the season.” He said he believes it won’t be long before there are more World Cup winners playing in the league. And certainly, MLS as a whole will be lifted by the next World Cup, which the United States will host along with Canada and Mexico. ”A lot of MLS players were at the World Cup. You have more and more young, talented players are coming here,” he said. ”So I think the gap between MLS and those big European leagues is getting smaller.” — AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted to block oil from the country’s emergency stockpile from going to China. The bill, one of the first introduced by the new GOP majority, would prohibit the Energy Department from selling oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to companies owned or influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. It passed easily, 331-97, with 113 Democrats joining unanimous Republicans in support. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., the new head of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the bill would help end what she called President Joe Biden’s “abuse of our strategic reserves.” Biden withdrew 180 million barrels from the strategic reserve last year in a bid to halt rising gasoline prices amid production cuts by OPEC and a ban on Russian oil imports following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The monthslong sales brought the stockpile to its lowest level since the 1980s. The administration said last month it will start to replenish the reserve now that oil prices have gone down. McMorris Rodgers accused Biden of using the reserve to “cover up his failed policies” that she said are driving up energy prices and inflation. “Draining our strategic reserves for political purposes and selling it to China is a significant threat to our national and energy security. This must be stopped,” McMorris Rodgers said. The measure is the first in a series of GOP proposals aimed at “unleashing American energy production,” McMorris Rodgers said as Republicans seek to boost U.S. production of oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels. “There’s more to come. This is just the beginning,” she said. Democrats, including former Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone of New Jersey, said Republicans were trying to fix a problem of their own making. China is among numerous potential adversaries that buy U.S. oil after the GOP-led Congress lifted an export ban in 2015. “If Republicans were serious about addressing this issue, they would have brought forward a bill that banned all oil exports to China,” Pallone said, adding that sales from the strategic reserve amounted to about 2% of U.S. oil sold to China last year. “If we truly want to address China using American oil to build its reserves, let’s actually take a serious look at that, rather than skirt around the issue because Republicans are scared of Big Oil’s wrath,” Pallone said. The current process allows for crude oil sales from the strategic reserve to companies that make the highest offer, which includes U.S. subsidiaries of foreign oil companies, and they could then export that crude oil overseas. Last year, millions of barrels of oil from the U.S. reserves wound up being exported to China, including to a subsidiary of China’s state-run oil company, Sinopec. The Energy Department said in a statement Thursday that Biden “rightly authorized emergency use” of the strategic reserve, also known as the SPR, to address supply disruptions and “provide relief to American families and refineries when needed the most.” The Treasury Department estimates that release of oil from the emergency stockpile lowered prices at the pump by up to 40 cents per gallon. Gasoline prices, meanwhile, averaged about $3.27 per gallon on Thursday, down from just over $5 per gallon at their peak in June, according to the AAA auto club. “By law we are required to select the highest value bid to ensure the best return for taxpayers, and since 2017 the vast majority of oil sold from the reserve is sold to American entities,” the Energy Department said. Over the last five years, less than 3% of oil from the strategic reserve has gone to China, officials said. The House bill now goes to the Democratic-controlled Senate. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., has introduced a similar measure.

Outside Yellowstone, flooded towns struggle to recover FROMBERG, Mont. (AP) — As officials scramble to reopen Yellowstone National Park to tourists after record floods pounded southern Montana, some of those hardest hit in the disaster live far from the famous park’s limelight and are leaning heavily on one another to pull their lives out of the mud. In and around the agricultural community of Fromberg, the Clarks Fork River flooded almost 100 homes and badly damaged a major irrigation ditch that serves many farms. The town’s mayor says about a third of the flooded homes are too far gone to be repaired. Not far from the riverbank, Lindi O’Brien’s trailer home was raised high enough to avoid major damage. But she got water in her barns and sheds, lost some of her poultry and saw her recently deceased parents’ home get swamped with several feet of water. Elected officials who showed up to tour the damage in Red Lodge and Gardiner — Montana tourist towns that serve as gateways to Yellowstone — haven’t made it to Fromberg to see its devastation. O’Brien said the lack of attention is no surprise given the town’s location away from major tourist routes. She said she’s not resentful but resigned to the idea that if Fromberg is going to recover, its roughly 400 residents will have to do much of the work themselves. “We take care of each other,” O’Brien said as she and two longtime friends, Melody Murter and Aileen Rogers, combed through mud-caked items scattered across her property. O’Brien, an art teacher for the local school, had been fixing up her parents’ home with hopes of turning it into a vacation rental. Now she’s not sure it’s salvageable. “When you get tired and get pooped, it’s OK to stop,” O’Brien said to Murter and Rogers, whose clothes, hands and faces were smeared with mud. Yellowstone will partially reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday, more than a week after more than 10,000 visitors were forced out of the park when the Yellowstone and other rivers went over their banks after being swelled by melting snow and several inches of rainfall. But the northern half of the nation’s oldest national park, which is marking its 150th anniversary this year, is expected to remain closed through the summer, if not longer, along with one of the major entrances to the park through Montana. The closure will deprive visitors from seeing Tower Fall and Lamar Valley, one of the best places in the world to see wolves and grizzly bears. Meanwhile, outside of the population centers that border the park, there’s a maze of damaged roads. A key bridge that leads to the town of Fishtail collapsed, causing traffic to divert through a single-lane county road. There are about 500 people in Fishtail. Lee Johnson and his wife and daughter run the restaurant MontAsia, so named because it’s a fusion of Malaysian and Montana cuisine. He said business has plummeted. “When we opened for the first time after the flood, it started just dead. And you start to have that sense of dread creep in. Did I do all this, did I sink all this money in, have I started this business and people can’t even get here anymore?” Johnson said. Johnson and his Malaysian wife Yokie took over the lease on a landmark 124-year-old Fishtail building earlier this year, transferring their restaurant from another part of the state. For Yokie, the business was a dream come true. “Not being from Montana, I wanted to own something,” she said. Going into business with her family was her biggest goal. Yokie said running the restaurant gives her strength as she battles cancer. “I’m not sure how much time I have left, so the time I have left I want to be with my family, work with them every day, see them every day,” she said. Johnson said he is humbled by the chance to support his wife and determined to keep the restaurant open while the flood damage is repaired. “You hitch your wagon to this community and it’s just a matter of keeping up,” he said.

GATE CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – Jeep owners gathered in Scott County on Saturday for the Gate City Jeep Jam fundraiser. The event, which drew crowds of Jeep owners and spectators, was designed to help raise funds for the revitalization of downtown Gate City. Several prizes for different categories were up for grabs. “We’ve got a QR code and you scan it, and if that’s your favorite Jeep for the day, then they can win a trophy,” said Megan White a board member of Gate City Frontier. “We’ve got first and second place and then we also have a contest for the muddiest Jeep and then most miles traveled and most patriotic.” After the event, there was a scenic cruise that went around Scott County and past several historical and cultural sites.

Thanksgiving often serves up a feast of new family movies at the box office, but the Walt Disney Co.’s animated offering “ Strange World ” fizzled with audiences out of the gates. The production, which carried a reported $180 million budget, grossed just $18.6 million in ticket sales in its first five days and $11.9 million over the weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. The top spot for the holiday corridor, which runs from Wednesday through Sunday, instead went to another Disney movie, Marvel’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which raked in an additional $64 million over the last five days, $45.9 million of which was from the weekend. The superhero sequel has reigned over the charts for three weekends now and has grossed $675.6 million worldwide. It was a muted weekend despite a buffet of well-reviewed options, including the Korean War aviation drama “ Devotion,” the nationwide expansion of the Timothée Chalamet cannibal romance “ Bones and All ” and Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans.” “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” also opened in 600 theaters nationwide for a weeklong limited run. It marks the first time a Netflix film has played in the nation’s major theater chains, including AMC, Regal and Cinemark, but neither Netflix nor the exhibitors provided sales estimates for the film, which won’t hit the streaming service until Dec. 23. The first “Knives Out,” which was released by Lionsgate, opened to $41.4 million over Thanksgiving weekend in 2019. Between the “Glass Onion” mystery and the “Strange World” miss, it was a reminder that the exhibition business is still far from normal. “This was not pre-destined to be a blockbuster Thanksgiving weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore’s senior media analyst. He noted that the marketplace is still being impacted by the pandemic’s effects on Hollywood production and release schedules. Disney has historically “owned” the Thanksgiving weekend. Walt Disney Studios and Pixar animated titles account for the top six Thanksgiving openings of all time, including films such as “Frozen,” which made $93.6 million in 2013, “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” which pulled in $84.8 million in 2018 and “Moana,” which earned $82.1 million when it opened in 2016. But it’s also been a difficult two years at the company, which last week stunned the industry when it announced that Bob Iger was returning to the company as CEO, replacing his handpicked successor Bob Chapek “Strange World” opened in 4,714 locations on Wednesday, but it was clear from early preview showings that it was going to be slow going. On Friday, it earned only $5.2 million. “Wakanda Forever,” by contrast, made $18.2 million on Friday in 4,258 theaters and has been out for three weeks. The animated adventure film’s debut is one of the bigger bombs in the modern history of the Disney Animation studio, similar to the $16 million 2002 Thanksgiving opening of “Treasure Planet.” “Strange World” was directed by Don Hall and Qui Nguyen and follows a family of explorers and features the voices of Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Gabrielle Union and Lucy Liu. Reviews have been mostly positive, with a 73% Rotten Tomatoes score. A lack of new family oriented films over the past several weeks may have resulted in “muted” awareness for “Strange World,” according to Dergarabedian. Third place went to “Devotion,” directed by JD Dillard and starring Jonathan Majors and Glenn Powel, which made $9 million in its first five days and $6 million over the weekend from 3,405 locations. The film was made by Black Label Media and distributed by Columbia Pictures in 3,405 locations. The war epic is based on the true story of Jesse Brown, the first Black aviator in the history of the U.S. Navy, who along with his friend Tom Hudner were pivotal in turning the tide in one of the most brutal battles of the Korean War. “ The Menu,” the satirical fine-dining thriller starring Ralph Feinnes and Anya Taylor-Joy, landed in fourth in its second weekend, with $7.4 million over the past five days and $5.2 million over the weekend. Fifth place went to “Black Adam.” In sixth place for the weekend was Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans,” which is based on the filmmaker’s own family and teenage years. The Universal release expanded to 638 theaters, where it earned $3.1 million over five days and $2.2 million over the weekend. United Artists Releasing rolled “Bones and All” out to 2,727 theaters, where it made an estimated $3.6 million over the five-day opening, with $2.2 million of that coming from the weekend. According to exit polls, some 74% of the audience was between the ages of 18 and 34. The R-rated film from Luca Guadagnino stars Chalamet and Taylor Russell as young cannibals on a road trip through the American Midwest. In more limited releases, Elegance Bratton’s “The Inspection ” expanded to 32 screens and earned $103,033 over five days. Overall ticket sales are expected to net out around $125 million. That would be down about 12% from last year, which boasted releases such as “Encanto,” which opened to $40.6 million even with a spiking COVID-19 variant. For movie theater owners, it places even more pressure on “Avatar: The Way of Water,” to deliver a big windfall to close out the year. It launches on Dec. 16. “Usually Thanksgiving weekend is all about kids and families going to the theater. This year, it’s a heavy mix of films aimed at adults and that’s not a recipe for a box office feast in theaters,” Dergarabedian said. “But it’ll come back in a big way when Avatar opens.” Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore, with five-day Wednesday through Sunday in parentheses. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. ”Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” $45.9 million ($64 million). 2. “Strange World,” $11.9 million ($18.6 million). 3. “Devotion,” $6 million ($9 million). 4. “The Menu,” $5.2 million ($7.4 million). 5. “Black Adam,” $3.4 million. 6. “The Fabelmans,” $2.2 million ($3.1 million). 7. “Bones and All,” $2.2 million ($3.6 million). 8. “Ticket to Paradise,”$1.9 million ($2.6 million). 9. “The Chosen Season 3: Episode 1 &2,” $1.6 million. 10. “She Said,” $1.1 million ($1.5 million).

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Another driver was critically hurt when a speeding Cadillac ran a red light and struck her vehicle early Tuesday. The crash happened around 8 a.m. at the intersection of East State Boulevard and Hobson Road. According to Fort Wayne Police, dispatchers fielded multiple calls claiming a “black Cadi was speeding and blew two traffic lights” in the area of State and Beacon. A short time later, a crash happened at East State and Hobson Road, involving a black Cadillac. According to a Fort Wayne Police report, the Cadillac was headed east on State when it hit a southbound vehicle at Hobson road. That vehicle then crashed into a northbound vehicle. After the crash, the driver of the Cadillac ran off, the report said. He was eventually tracked down blocks from the crash scene and arrested.

What’s the status of the US death penalty? By MICHAEL TARM and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press The first federal capital case tried under President Joe Biden ended with a split among jurors, meaning the life of an Islamic extremist who killed eight people in a New York City will be spared. It came at a rare federal death penalty trial in a state without the death penalty. That Biden’s Justice Department continued to seek the death penalty for Sayfullo Saipov was a surprise to many given Biden’s opposition to capital punishment. The jury’s failure to reach a unanimous decision means Saipov gets an automatic sentence of life in prison. The death penalty was effectively abolished in New York by 2007.

The PGA Tour and the Saudi backers of LIV Golf responded to a Justice Department inquiry by dropping a provision in their agreement that would have prohibited the poaching of players, the PGA Tour said Thursday. The New York Times first reported the development, which stems from the Justice Department’s antitrust review that began last summer and expanded when the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s national wealth fund agreed to become business partners. The non-solicitation clause was part of the framework agreement announced June 6 and signed by the PGA Tour, European tour and Public Investment Fund. The agreement, still being negotiated and requiring PGA Tour board approval, is for the parties to form a for-profit company that would pool commercial businesses and rights. During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, PGA Tour Chief Operating Officer Ron Price said PIF would contribute at least $1 billion. Key to the agreement was dropping all antitrust litigation, which a federal judge signed off on last month. Below that section was the non-solicitation clause that said PIF, the PGA Tour and European tour would no longer “solicit or recruit any players who are members of the other tours or organizations to become members of their respective organizations.” The clause was effective May 30, when the agreement was signed. “Based on discussions with staff at the Department of Justice, we chose to remove specific language from the Framework Agreement,” the PGA Tour said in a statement. “While we believe the language is lawful, we also consider it unnecessary in the spirit of cooperation and because all parties are negotiating in good faith.” LIV Golf signed deals reported to be $100 million or more last year when the rival league began, marquee names ranging from Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson to Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau. The rival league added more players last August, including British Open champion Cameron Smith, after the PGA Tour season ended. A new batch of defectors for the second season included Mito Pereira, Thomas Pieters and Brendan Steele. The Times reported antitrust experts have warned the clause could violate federal law if it threatened the integrity of the labor market and promised to stifle competition for players, who are independent. The agreement sets a Dec. 31 deadline for finalizing the deal, though both sides can agree to an extension. LIV Golf has a set 48-man roster for this season — alternates are available for injury — so it was unlikely any player would have left for LIV until the 2024 season. Still to be determined is the future of LIV. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is to be the CEO of the new company, with assets that include LIV. The agreement said the company would objectively evaluate LIV Golf and its prospects and potential and make a “good faith assessment” of the benefits of team golf. ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

DURANGO, Colo. — Teal Lehto honed her short, snappy explanations of the West's complex water problems guiding rafting trips down the Animas River in her hometown of Durango. She often had lulls of a minute or less in between shouting paddle commands to the tourists in her boat — squeezing in a tidy explanation of how water rights work before yelling "all forward" to her boatmates to keep them from ramming into rocks. After running the same stretch of river a few times a day for months, the timing became second nature. "You get to the point where you're like, 'OK, I know I'm going to need to call a command in exactly 45 seconds. Like, what story can I tell in the meantime?' " Lehto said while sitting along the Animas on a rainy August morning. "I'll tell you, the better stories you tell, the better tips you get," she said. That same formula works on TikTok, just trade the tips for likes and followers. On the app, Lehto goes by "WesternWaterGirl," and her clips regularly garner hundreds of thousands of views. Since joining the app in April, she's amassed nearly 48,000 followers who tune in for her fast-paced, snarky and often profanity-laced takes on the West's water crisis. @westernwatergirl Reply to @vkurtisw #greenscreen yeah so it turns out that egregiously overallocating the CO River was not a good idea. Who would’ve known? #fyp #learnontiktok #climatechange #climatecrisis #climateaction #climateanxiety #megadrought #coloradoriver #water #waterislife #watercrisis #todayilearnedthis ♬ original sound - WesternWaterGirl In her videos, the 25-year-old Lehto — with her straight brown hair and cat-eye makeup — sits in front of the camera, news anchor style. Photos of the Southwest's shrinking reservoirs and screengrabs of the latest scientific articles on Colorado River management pop up behind her. So far, she's tackled reservoir management, agricultural irrigation efficiency, cloud seeding and hydropower. The region's water infrastructure, and the problems that come with managing it, is confusing. Water in the arid West is plumbed long distances to irrigate lawns and crop fields that would wither without it. Layer on the legal frameworks and political landscapes, and it's an issue that can feel impenetrable for most people, even if they have a desire to learn more, Lehto said. She learned about water as an environmental studies major at Durango's Fort Lewis College and started a student group that took field trips to water-specific infrastructure nearby. Most residents of the West aren't getting the same crash course. The Colorado River has been a focus since she started making videos earlier this year. Tens of millions depend on the river, and it's facing a serious shortfall in supply. The concepts can be hard to grasp at first, which is why Lehto said she tries to avoid the jargon that comes with the heavily engineered systems used to plumb the arid West. Or, if it's warranted, she jumps into the jargon full-speed, like her 90-second explainer of why large volumes of water are measured in "acre-feet" (that one currently has 215,000 views). Or her critique of proposals to supplement the West's water supply with a pipeline from the East (that's at 209,000 views). @westernwatergirl Replying to @j2cee #greenscreen there is plenty enough water in the west to survive if we just use it more sustainably and focus on efficency for ag. #fyp #viral #learnontiktok #coloradoriver #watercrisis #water #coloradorivercrisis #climatechange #climate #colorado #newmexico #utah #wyoming #california #nevada #lakepowell #lakemead #grandcanyon #durango ♬ original sound - WesternWaterGirl "I get comments that are like, 'Wow, you just connected a lot of dots for me. Like, I understood pieces of this, but you're the first person who explained it in terms I can understand,' " Lehto said. Formative moments Lehto grew up rafting the streams of southwestern Colorado with her family. But a couple of events, in particular, changed how she saw her hometown river, the Animas, and its role in the larger Colorado River watershed. The first came on an August morning in 2015. She was working at a local rafting outfitter when the sheriff's office called. "They said, 'I don't know what you're planning on doing today, but you're not going to be able to go rafting,' " Lehto recalled. A plume of neon orange wastewater released from the Gold King Mine into the Animas was making its way toward Durango. The river was closed to recreation because of it. As the news spread, Lehto, 17 years old at the time, found herself fielding calls from journalists all over the world wanting to hear how locals were reacting. "I had no idea the scale of the issue nor what to say to those people," Lehto said. A few years later, as a college student, Lehto watched as the 416 Fire burned more than 54,000 acres in the forests surrounding Durango. Again, the Animas felt the effects, as monsoonal rain storms swept ashen debris and scorched sediment into the river, nearly wiping out the river's fish population. She recalls guiding trips down the river shortly thereafter and seeing dozens of dead fish caught in eddies. "It was such a visual and visceral example of the river ecosystem dying," Lehto said. "And those two experiences made me really feel the need to jump into protecting the river that I live on." Around the same time, Lehto was putting more of her energy into competitive raft racing. From 2017 to 2019, Lehto's junior women's team competed in Japan, China and Argentina. Using Google Translate, she was able to connect with members of the other teams, and the one thing they all had in common was a love of rivers. "It made me realize that it doesn't matter where you are, what government you live under, or what language you speak, whatever river you live near has some kind of issue that's facing it," Lehto said. "And everybody is a member of a watershed community whether or not they know it." 'Screw this. I'm going to make my own platform' Lehto came to TikTok after feeling shut out of more traditional forums. After being rejected in early 2022 for a county-appointed seat on the Southwest Basin Roundtable, a watershed group focused on her local rivers, she went searching for other ways to be heard. TikTok rose to the top of the list. "I was like, 'Screw this. I'm going to make my own platform with my own voice, and I can say whatever I want,' " Lehto said. She quickly picked up the tone and style that the TikTok algorithm rewarded. Videos in which she spoke quickly did well. So did those in which she reacted to other users' clips of declining reservoirs. Videos in which she teases a revealing tidbit in the first 20 seconds but then holds off on the answer until the end of the clip also garnered views. The app's users appreciate straight-talk about niche passions, Lehto said. And that's exactly what she's serving up. So, she said, what started as a place to vent frustrations quickly became a place where Lehto could be heard by an audience more than twice the size of the city she lived in. TikTok can be easily dismissed as "that dancing app" by those in the water management community, Lehto said. But she said those making decisions should be paying attention to what she and other social media influencers are saying. "A lot of what's happening in the water conservation world is happening in an echo chamber. They're just talking to themselves and the general public is not hearing it or what they're hearing is just little snippets, so they don't understand it," Lehto said. Since going viral, Lehto's TikToks have caught the attention of others in the world of water. Bronson Mack is a public information officer for the Southern Nevada Water Authority and helps manage the agency's social media. He and others at SNWA came across Lehto just by scrolling. "More than anything, the impact that we saw with that is how direct and accurate the information was," Mack said. As the Colorado River's water shortage pops up more in national headlines, Mack said he's seen an increase in misinformation. He recently got several calls from concerned residents about a train allegedly taking water to Nevada's desert communities. No such train operation exists. Lehto has taken to the platform to debunk conspiracy theories as well. When real-world explanations can be nuanced and complicated, she said it's understandable that people gravitate to the simplest message. "They're receiving this misinformation in really easy to understand terms," Lehto said. "And the real information is not being explained and super easy to understand terms. And that's where I like to step in." TikTok can become a career path for would-be influencers, a label Lehto is still apprehensive about adopting herself. More water agencies and environmental groups are reaching out to her with offers to collaborate — turning her hobby into a money-making opportunity. The timing is right, she said, because she has already found an audience. The Southwest is reaching a moment of reckoning on water management, she said, and finding a good solution will require everyone to know how it works. "The people who are so close to this problem, they have tunnel vision," she said. "They're not able to take a step back and be like, 'Well, this whole system does not make any sense.' They're just like, 'We have to keep using it this way. This is how we've always done it.' " @westernwatergirl #duet with @Jacob Orth bad news: we have now passed the window of opportunity to creating collborative solutions to this crisis, and now we enter the enforcement stage. So we are all at the mercy of the BOR and the Doctrine of Prior Appropriation. Lord help us. #fyp #ReTokforNature #viral #learnontiktok #water #climate #watercrisis #waterislife #coloradoriver #lakepowell #lakemead #coloradorivercrisis #climatecrisis #environment #climateemergency #climatechange #megadrought ♬ original sound - Jacob Orth In one of her latest clips, Lehto zipped through the most recent news on the river, that the Colorado River basin states missed a federal deadline to commit to conservation. But rather than just leave it there, she issued a call to action on the platform: "If enough of us are talking about it, then water managers and elected officials in the Southwest might feel pressure to actually change the system."

Angels avoid being no-hit by Jameson Taillon but are swept by Yankees The Angels were six outs away from being on the wrong side of history Thursday night, as New York Yankees right-hander Jameson Taillon retired the first 18 batters in the second game of a split-doubleheader in Yankee Stadium. A stagnant Angels offense, which was limited to two runs in the first 25 innings of the three-game series, found a pulse in the eighth inning, scratching out a run on a Jared Walsh double and a Kurt Suzuki two-out RBI single to snap a scoreless tie. But rookie reliever Oliver Ortega wobbled in the bottom of the eighth, setting the stage for Anthony Rizzo’s pinch-hit, two-out, two-run single that gave the Yankees a 2-1 victory and a doubleheader sweep. Ortega, a hard-throwing right-hander, had earned a high-leverage role with a 2.86 ERA in his first 16 games, but he was unable to hold a one-run lead Thursday night. Miguel Andujar hit a one-out double to right-center field, Isiah Kiner-Falefa walked with Andujar taking third on a fourth-ball wild pitch and Aaron Hicks walked to load the bases. Angels manager Joe Maddon summoned right-hander Archie Bradley, who struck out Joey Gallo with a full-count fastball for the second out. But Rizzo laced his game-winning hit to center field for a 2-1 lead. The Angels loaded the bases in the top of the ninth off reliever Clay Holmes when Shohei Ohtani walked and Mike Trout and Jared Walsh were hit by pitches. But Holmes, who hadn’t given up a run in 24 innings of his first 22 appearances this season, got Luis Rengifo to ground out to end the game, sending the Angels to their eighth straight loss and 12th loss in 15 games. Walsh had led off the top of the eighth with a hard grounder up the middle that Kiner-Falefa, stationed on the second-base side of the bag, was unable to make a sliding, back-hand stop of, the ball kicking off his glove and into left field for a double and the Angels’ first hit. Shohei Ohtani’s second career start at Yankee Stadium was nearly as bad as his first. Angels manager Joe Maddon thinks he might have been tipping pitches. Walsh took third on Brandon Marsh’s grounder to first and scored on Suzuki’s single to left field for a 1-0 Angels lead. Ohtani was the only Angel who came close to registering a hit through seven innings, driving a fly ball to the wall in center field in the first inning and hitting a hard one-hopper up the middle in the seventh. Ohtani’s seventh-inning shot whizzed past the head of Taillon, but Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres fielded the ball on a hop and, from the outfield grass behind the second-base bag, made a strong, off-balance, one-hop throw to first to nail the speedy Ohtani to keep the perfect-game bid intact. Tallion threw 83 pitches, 51 for strikes, through seven innings, so there was no issue with his pitch count. The only problem for the Yankees was that they, like the Angels, had not scored a run through seven innings. Angels left-hander Reid Detmers rebounded from two rocky starts to throw 4 1/3 scoreless innings, giving up five hits, striking out four and walking three. Jimmy Herget threw a hitless inning with two strikeouts, Aaron Loup got the last two outs of the sixth, and Ryan Tepera threw a one-two-three seventh.

Recovering inventories are increasing dealer stock, while interest rate hikes and economic headwinds will dampen demand – forcing OEMs and dealers to make deals once again. The question is: Who will blink first? SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After nearly two years of inflated new- and used-car prices – with car dealers asking consumers to pay thousands of dollars over MSRP – the US industry is primed for a reset to previous competitive norms. A combination of industry factors and macroeconomic conditions could trigger a potentially bloody battle for market share this year, according to an analysis by S&P Global Mobility. Automakers and dealers that have grown accustomed to huge profits on vehicles sold as soon as they leave the factory will see a return to traditional conditions of accumulating showroom inventories and the need for incentives to move the metal. This could mean a big win for consumers still in the market for a new or used vehicle, and who are not intimidated by sharply increased lending rates or other economic headwinds. Already there are signs of increased new-car inventories and declining used-car prices – though not yet to pre-COVID levels. "Things will heat up this year when the first tranche of COVID-sold vehicles starts returning to market," predicts Dave Mondragon, vice president of product development for S&P Global Mobility. "These vehicles are all underwater. They were sold at record-high prices with no discounts, and there will be little to no equity to roll into a new vehicle." It's not so much the volume of vehicles coming back – new-vehicle sales cratered in 2020 when production lines slowed due to supply chain snarls. But the practice by many dealerships of using vehicle shortages to sell at inflated prices means nearly every vehicle coming back has massive negative equity – with the customer owing thousands of dollars more than the vehicle is worth at trade-in. "That's when discounting starts up again," Mondragon says. Inventory Rebounding With supply chain snarls easing, an S&P Global Mobility analysis of inventory data shows a 91% increase in advertised new-vehicle dealer stock at the end of December 2022 compared to February, a sharp 43% uptick compared to August 2022, and a 21% jump compared to October. "Though we're not back to historical norms, inventory pressures are starting to ease," said Matt Trommer, S&P Global Mobility associate director of innovation product management for in-market reporting. "The only real difference was domestic and European brands seeing improved inventories earlier in 2022, and Asian brands ramping up to a greater extent in the second half of '22 after actually going down in the February-to-August period," Trommer said. "In a few cases, we're seeing inventories coming up quite a bit. Jeep, GMC and Mazda are now showing a broad availability of vehicles. Other brands such as Honda, Kia and Subaru, however, are showing more limited availability." "We're in the formative stages of inventory rebuilding following six months of year-over-year increases that ended 35 months of year-over-declines in July 2022," said Joe Langley, associate director of research and analysis for S&P Global Mobility's North American Light Vehicle Forecasting & Analysis team. "Stellantis is the closest to having normalized inventory. They are going to have to ask themselves, 'What do we do next?'" In December, Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, and Jeep had about 300,000 units of leftover 2022 models advertised as available for sale. Those four brands accounted for 71% of 2022 advertised inventory listed by mainstream brand dealers - and 66% of all dealer-advertised inventory when including luxury marques. Among luxury brands, Mercedes-Benz and Lincoln still showed the most remaining 2022 vehicles in dealer advertised inventory, according to the S&P Global Mobility analysis. That said, not every brand will be in the same circumstances. After the initial semiconductor crunch, GM, Ford, and Stellantis better managed their supply chains and are closer to being back to traditional production levels; the Japanese brands are still struggling with supply-chain issues. While less impacted, Hyundai and Kia are also dealing with structural issues of not having enough factory capacity to meet growing demand. "We're seeing the US3 being the closest to normalized inventory and they will have to start asking themselves hard questions relating to production planning, product mix and pricing along with incentives activity," Langley said. "The surprise of 2023 will be vehicle availability. It will still be well below industry norms, but inventory for the spring selling season will be up 50-70% from 2022 levels." Another element that could factor into increased consumer power in the new-car arena: A softening in inflated used-car values. When COVID shut down new-car manufacturing, demand (and prices) for used cars soared starting in early 2021. Data from CARFAX, part of S&P Global Mobility, shows that – pre-COVID – average weekly dealer listing prices for used cars had held steady, slightly above $19,000. The first quarter of 2021 saw a rapid price shock that resulted in peak pricing of $29,025 in Q1 2022. But last fall, used-car prices started retreating. By mid-December, CARFAX data showed a retreat to $27,239. And while prices are nowhere near pre-COVID levels, there is no evidence that inflated prices will hold. One potential easing of a price crash: A momentary drop-off in off-lease cars coming back during the three-year anniversary of the COVID shutdown, when sales cratered for several months in 2020. A shortfall in the certified-pre-owned segment might resume demand pressure on the new-car side and temporarily hold prices steady. External Forces There are usually multiple causes of swings in market behavior, and it appears US light vehicle sales have a perfect storm of culminating events that will come to a head starting in spring 2023: In addition to rebounding vehicle inventories, a sharp rise in U.S. lending rates, inflation leading to lower disposable income among households, and nervy macroeconomic headwinds are worrying US consumers. Already there are storm clouds on the horizon in terms of demand destruction. The daily new-car selling rate metric remained remarkably steady in the second half of 2022, even while some pockets of inventory accumulated. While stubbornly sticky low levels of inventory dampened year-end clearance incentives, any backward movement in the daily selling metric to begin 2023 could be signal of a retrenching auto consumer. Households are eyeing the uncertain economy as a reason to hold back on new purchases. If workers do not receive 2023 pay raises commensurate with 2022's sudden inflationary spike, and large-scale layoffs continue, that will prompt conservatism in household capital expenditures. "Ongoing supply chain challenges and recessionary fears will result in a cautious build-back for the market," said Chris Hopson, manager of North American light vehicle sales forecasting for S&P Global Mobility. "US consumers are hunkering down, and recovery towards pre-pandemic vehicle demand levels feels like a hard sell. Inventory and incentive activity will be key barometers to gauge potential demand destruction." From a forecasting perspective, S&P Global Mobility recently downgraded the US demand settings for 2023 due to darkening economic clouds. The immediate release of pent-up demand of the past two years that many OEMs anticipated would absorb increasing production is now wavering, and may be eliminated altogether if consumers retrench their spending habits. This will prompt downward pressure on vehicle pricing. Who Blinks First? Where will the discounts first appear? Likely in full-size trucks. GM, Ford and Stellantis need full-size truck volumes and profits to support investment in their electrified futures. GM is the only one of the three that has incremental capacity to produce more full-size pickups – whether they're ICE or BEV. Ford is capacity-constrained until Blue Oval City comes online in the second half of 2025, and Stellantis has their own limitations in the short-term. "This essentially puts GM in the driver's seat if they want to increase incentives to drive additional volume. If they do this, Ford and Stellantis will be forced to follow," Langley said. "There is still room for these manufacturers to increase incentives on their pickups and still be ahead on the revenue side if they experience comparable sales improvements from those higher incentives." After all, pre-COVID incentives on big pickups were running $6,000 per unit in January 2020, and the Detroit automakers were still profitable. But recently, demand for pickups has waned as more buyers move to SUVs. Despite full-size pickups' important contributions to each brand's business case and factory output, the share of half-ton retail sales has been declining for more than two years, according to S&P Global Mobility data. The segment's retail share in Q3 2022 was 7.8% – lower than in any other quarter dating back to Q3 2012. Another area of potential incentive skirmish? Likely in a high-volume segment with plenty of players, such as mainstream compact SUVs. In addition, a competitive luxury market with additional pressure from Tesla could see a higher-end brand with resurgent inventories use the opportunity to grab share. Meanwhile, Tesla's recent price cuts across its lineup could prompt a price war in the BEV space. At least one luxury automaker has stated it is openly looking at conquesting its rivals, and is already injecting money into the market to capture share. They see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and are thinking that investing earlier in incentives – either cash on the hood, or subsidized lending rates – will result in the best chance to grab share. Meanwhile, another luxury brand with already strong days' supply is cranking up subsidized lease deals. The next automaker's sales chief willing to cede market share without a fight will be the first one. Performance bonuses, career trajectories, and factory output requirements hinge on it. Furthermore, failing to spend to retain market share has downstream costs: The cost of losing loyal customers, multiplied by the cost of thousands of conquests needed to replace them, must also be considered. Also, automakers' and suppliers' factories need to run at high percentages of capacity to be profitable. Lofty talk of inventory control sounds great, until just-built vehicles start stacking up in factory-overflow lots. Remember: Average transaction prices in December were $49,500, so for every 20,000 vehicles built, OEMs can generate nearly $1 billion in revenue – a tempting carrot for OEMs when revenue goals are under pressure. As a result, spring and summer of 2023 could force automakers into aggressively pursuing customers with incentives while attempting to maintain the healthy profit margins they have seen for the past two years. The upshot will be a chaotic accordion effect in monthly sales results, as fluctuating inventories run head-on into unsettled consumer confidence and numerous industry and macroeconomic conditions. Automakers and dealers will be hard pressed to find a consistently successful sales strategy that allows them to maintain or increase share during such uncertain times.

(The Hill) — Eric Trump, one of former President Donald Trump’s sons, said in an interview late Monday that the FBI’s search at his father’s Mar-a-Lago home earlier in the day was focused on documents sought by the National Archives. “Sean, the purpose for the raid from what they said was because the National Archives wanted to, you know, corroborate whether or not Donald Trump had any documents in his possession,” Eric Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “And my father has worked so collaboratively with them for months. In fact, the lawyer that’s been working on this was totally shocked. He goes, ‘I had such an amazing relationship with these people and, all of a sudden, on no notice, they send, you know, 20 cars and 30 agents?’” Eric Trump added. Earlier on Monday, the former president said that the FBI had raided his Florida estate, adding that agents broke into his safe. He said that the raid was not “unannounced” and called it “not necessary or appropriate.” It was not immediately clear from Donald Trump’s statement what the search warrant was focused on or what documents or property agents were examining. The probe followed reporting earlier this year that the Justice Department had been asked by the National Archives to look into the former president’s handling of records after more than a dozen boxes, including some containing classified information, were recovered by Archives officials that Donald Trump should have turned over. The Mar-a-Lago search was immediately criticized by Republicans, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) saying on Monday that should the GOP take back the House after November, his party would conduct a probe into the Justice Department. The Hill has reached out to the National Archives for comment.

Giuliani targeted in criminal probe of 2020 election ATLANTA (AP) — Prosecutors in Atlanta have told Rudy Giuliani's lawyers that he is a target of their criminal investigation into possible illegal attempts by then-President Donald Trump and others to interfere in the 2020 general election in Georgia. Giuliani's lawyer said Monday the special prosecutor sent notification that the former New York mayor, later a lawyer for Trump, is a target of the investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Giuliani said Monday, “You do this to a lawyer, we don’t have America anymore.” Willis has said she is considering calling Trump himself to testify before the special grand jury. Ukrainian military says it repelled more than dozen attacks KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Ukrainian military says it has repelled more than a dozen Russian attacks in the country’s east and north, including attempts to advance on key cities in the eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas. In its regular Facebook update, the military’s General Staff said Monday that Russian troops had attempted to push towards Kramatorsk, one of two major cities in the eastern Donetsk province that remain under Ukrainian control, but they failed “completely and chaotically” and retreated. The Donetsk region is one of two provinces that make up the Donbas, where the fighting has largely been focused in recent months, since Kremlin forces retreated from around the capital, Kyiv.

However, the official, Nasser Kanaani, spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, sought to justify the attack in the Islamic Republic’s first public comments on the bloodshed. The spokesman said Monday that Iran does not “consider anyone deserving reproach, blame or even condemnation, except for (Rushdie) himself and his supporters." Iran has in the past denied carrying out other operations abroad targeting dissidents in the years since the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, even though prosecutors and Western governments have attributed such attacks to Tehran. Clergy, social workers fear fallout from Okla. abortion laws OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Strict anti-abortion laws that took effect in Oklahoma this year led to the quick shuttering of every abortion facility in the state. But questions remain for those who work directly with women who may seek their advice or help getting an abortion out of state. Clergy members, social workers and even librarians have raised concerns about being exposed to criminal or civil liability for even discussing the topic. University of Oklahoma law professor Joseph Thai says those fears are well founded. He describes Oklahoma’s anti-abortion laws as the strictest in the nation so far and sweeping in both substance and scope. The criminal provisions make it a felony to “advise" a woman or provide any means to help her get an abortion. Feds oppose unsealing affidavit for Mar-a-Lago warrant WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is rebuffing an effort to make public the affidavit supporting the search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s estate in Florida. In court papers Monday, prosecutors argue the investigation “implicates highly classified material” and the affidavit contains sensitive information about witnesses. The government’s opposition came in response to court filings by several news organizations, including The Associated Press, seeking to unseal the underlying affidavit the Justice Department submitted when it asked for the warrant to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month. Prosecutors argue making the document public would “cause significant and irreparable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation.” EXPLAINER: Why US lawmakers' Taiwan trips keep riling China WASHINGTON (AP) — Taiwan is high on the summer travel list for U.S. members of Congress on their August recess this year. On Monday, Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, was wrapping up the second trip there this month by a U.S. congressional delegation. Two weeks ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the most senior U.S. official to visit Taiwan in a quarter-century. China reacted forcefully, staging days of military exercises around Taiwan. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and views any visit by U.S. officials as a recognition of the island’s sovereignty. American lawmakers see such visits as essential reinforcement of U.S. support for Taiwan. Trump Org. CFO expected to plead guilty in NY tax case NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is expected to plead guilty as soon as Thursday in a tax evasion case, according to three people familiar with the matter. Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg is accused of failing to pay taxes on fringe benefits he got from the company. A judge has scheduled a hearing for Thursday. The three people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. They said the purpose of the hearing was for Weisselberg to enter a guilty plea. One of Weisselberg’s lawyers confirmed that Weisselberg was engaged in plea negotiations but didn't specify terms of a potential deal. R. Kelly jury selection focuses on 2019 documentary CHICAGO (AP) — Jury selection is underway at R. Kelly’s federal trial in his hometown of Chicago. The judge questioning would-be jurors is paying special attention to whether they watched a 2019 documentary about sex abuse allegations against the R&B singer. Kelly faces charges that he rigged his 2008 state child pornography trial by threatening and paying off a girl whom he allegedly filmed himself having sex with when he was around 30 and she was no older than 14. Jurors acquitted Kelly on all charges in that 2008 trial. Jury selection is expected to continue into Tuesday.

Defending national champion Georgia is third with three first-place votes. Clemson is No. 4 and Notre Dame rounds out the top five. The Tide’s preseason No. 1 ranking is the seventh in 15 years. Since the preseason rankings started in 1950, only Oklahoma has been No. 1 in the initial poll more than Alabama.

(NEXSTAR) – Chances are if you’re reading this, it’s going to be hot where you live this week. Meteorologists are warning a heat dome will park itself over parts of the country, pushing temperatures into the 90s and 100s for many cities. More than 100 high temperature records could be broken this week in cities around the U.S., CNN reports. The National Weather Service posted a forecast map to Twitter Sunday that shows nearly every corner of the country covered in shades of orange and red, indicating high probabilities of above-normal temperatures. “Colors we have not seen for awhile,” the agency said. The only pockets of the contiguous United States not expected to swelter later this week were parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Montana and North Dakota. The heat dome was mostly affecting the upper Midwest Monday; the National Weather Service issued Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories for all of Minnesota, as well as much of neighboring states, putting millions on alert for dangerously high temperatures. Minneapolis was forecast to reach 100 Monday with a heat index of 107 – conditions so hot they were threatening to buckle roads, the Minnesota Department of Transportation warned. Fargo, North Dakota – a city known for its frigid, snowy winters – was set to reach 98 Monday. The heat is expected to move south Tuesday, according to Accuweather, to the Midwest, South and Southeast. Accuweather’s meteorologists say it will be so hot and humid in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday, it’ll feel as hot as 110 degrees. By Wednesday, Accuweather predicts even more of the Southeast to be mired in hot, muggy weather. New Orleans, which already broke a daily high record over the weekend, is forecast to reach 100 degrees by the end of the week. Mobile, Alabama is set to reach 103, as is Austin, Texas. The National Weather Service’s two-week outlook shows the high heat could stick around all the way up until the Fourth of July holiday. The agency warns this much sustained heat can be dangerous for your health. If your area is experiencing extreme temperatures, the Weather Service advises you to seek out air conditioning, stay hydrated and stay out of the sun as much as possible.

Holocaust survivors offered DNA tests to help find family NEW YORK (AP) — For decades, Jackie Young had been searching. Orphaned as an infant, he spent the first few years of his life in a Nazi internment camp in what is now the Czech Republic. After World War II he was taken to England, adopted and given a new name. As an adult, he struggled to learn of his origins and his family. He had some scant information about his birth mother, who died in a concentration camp. But about his father? Nothing. Just a blank space on a birth certificate. That changed earlier this year when genealogists were able to use a DNA sample to help find a name — and some relatives he never knew he had. Having that answer to a lifelong question has been “amazing,” said Young, now 80 and living in London. It “opened the door that I thought would never get opened.” Now there’s an effort underway to bring that possibility to other Holocaust survivors and their children. The New York-based Center for Jewish History is launching the DNA Reunion Project, offering DNA testing kits for free through an application on its website. For those who use the kits it is also offering a chance to get some guidance on next steps from the genealogists who worked with Young. Those genealogists, Jennifer Mendelsohn and Adina Newman, have been doing this kind of work over the last several years, and run a Facebook group about Jewish DNA and genetic genealogy. The advent of DNA technology has opened up a new world of possibilities in addition to the paper trails and archives that Holocaust survivors and their descendants have used to learn about family connections severed by genocide, Newman said. “There are times when people are separated and they don’t even realize they’re separated. Maybe a name change occurred so they didn’t know to look for the other person,” she said. “There are cases that simply cannot be solved without DNA.” While interest in genealogy and family trees is widespread, there’s a particular poignancy in doing this work in a community where so many family ties have been ripped apart because of the Holocaust, Mendelsohn said. Her earliest effort in this arena was for her husband’s grandmother, who had lost her mother in a concentration camp. That effort led to aunts and cousins that no one in her husband’s family had known about. Her husband’s uncle, she said, called afterwards and said, “You know, I’ve never seen a photograph of my grandmother. Now that I see photographs of her sisters, it’s so comforting to me. I can imagine what she look like.” “How do you explain why that’s powerful? It just is. People had nothing. Their families were erased. And now we can bring them back a little bit,” Mendelsohn said. She and Newman take pains to emphasize that there are no guarantees. Doing the testing or searching archives doesn’t mean a guarantee of finding living relatives or new information. But it offers a chance. They and the center are encouraging people to take that chance, especially as time passes and the number of living survivors declines. “It really is the last moment where these survivors can be given some modicum of justice,” said Gavriel Rosenfeld, president of the center. “We feel the urgency of this,” Newman said. “I wanted to start yesterday, and that’s why it’s like, no time like the present.” Rosenfeld said the center had allocated an initial $15,000 for the DNA kits in this initial pilot effort, which would cover about 500 of them. He said they would look to scale up further if they see enough interest. Ken Engel thinks there will be. He leads a group in Minnesota for the children of Holocaust survivors and has already told his membership about the program. “This is an important effort,” Engel said. “It may reveal and disclose wonderful information for them that they never knew about, may make them feel more settled or more connected to the past.” Young definitely feels that way. “I’ve been wanting to know all my life,” he said. “If I hadn’t known what I do know now, I think I would still felt that my left arm or my right arm wasn’t fully formed. Family is everything, it’s the major pillar of life in humanity.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

POKROVSK, Donetsk Oblast — In what would be its biggest victory yet in the war with Ukraine, Russia claimed to have captured Mariupol after a nearly three-month siege that reduced much of the strategic port city to a smoking ruin, with over 20,000 civilians feared dead. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin the “complete liberation” of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol — the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance — and the city as a whole, spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Friday. There was no immediate confirmation from Ukraine. Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti quoted the ministry as saying a total of 2,439 Ukrainian fighters who had been holed up at the steelworks had surrendered since Monday, including over 500 on Friday. As they surrendered, the troops were taken prisoner by the Russians, and at least some were taken to a former penal colony. Others were said to be hospitalized. The defense of the steel mill had been led by Ukraine’s Azov Regiment, whose far-right origins have been seized on by the Kremlin as part of an effort to cast its invasion as a battle against Nazi influence in Ukraine. Russia said the Azov commander was taken away from the plant in an armored vehicle. Russian authorities have threatened to investigate some of the steel mill's defenders for war crimes and put them on trial, branding them “Nazis” and criminals. That has stirred international fears about their fate. The steelworks, which sprawled across 11 square kilometers (4 square miles), had been the site of fierce fighting for weeks. The dwindling group of outgunned fighters had held out, drawing Russian airstrikes, artillery and tank fire, before their government ordered them to abandon the plant's defense and save themselves. The complete takeover of Mariupol gives Putin a badly needed victory in the war he began on Feb. 24 — a conflict that was supposed to have been a lightning conquest for the Kremlin but instead has seen the failure to take the capital of Kyiv, a pullback of forces to refocus on eastern Ukraine, and the sinking of the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet. Military analysts said Mariupol's capture at this point is of mostly symbolic importance, since the city was already effectively under Moscow’s control and most of the Russian forces that were tied down by the fighting there had already left. In other developments Friday, the West moved to pour billions more in aid into Ukraine, and fighting raged in the Donbas, the industrial heartland in eastern Ukraine that Putin is bent on capturing. Russian forces shelled a vital highway and kept up attacks on a key city in the Luhansk region, hitting a school among other sites, Ukrainian authorities said. Luhansk is part of the Donbas. The Kremlin had sought control of Mariupol to complete a land corridor between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops to join the larger battle for the Donbas. The city's loss also deprives Ukraine of a vital seaport. Mariupol endured some of the worst suffering of the war and became a worldwide symbol of defiance. An estimated 100,000 people remained out a prewar population of 450,000, many trapped without food, water, heat or electricity. Relentless bombardment left rows upon rows of shattered or hollowed-out buildings. A maternity hospital was hit with a lethal Russian airstrike on March 9, producing searing images of pregnant women being evacuated from the place. A week later, about 300 people were reported killed in a bombing of a theater where civilians were taking shelter, although the real death toll could be closer to 600. Satellite images in April showed what appeared to be mass graves just outside Mariupol, where local officials accused Russia of concealing the slaughter by burying up to 9,000 civilians. Earlier this month, hundreds of civilians were evacuated from the plant during humanitarian cease-fires and spoke of the terror of ceaseless bombardment, the dank conditions underground and the fear that they wouldn't make it out alive. As the end drew near at Azovstal, wives of fighters who held out at the steelworks told of what they feared would be their last contact with their husbands. Olga Boiko, wife of a marine, wiped away tears as she said that her husband had written her on Thursday: “Hello. We surrender, I don’t know when I will get in touch with you and if I will at all. Love you. Kiss you. Bye.” Natalia Zaritskaya, wife of another fighter at Azovstal, said that based on the messages she had seen over the past two days, “Now they are on the path from hell to hell. Every inch of this path is deadly.” She said that two days ago, her husband reported that of the 32 soldiers with whom he had served, only eight survived, most of them seriously wounded. While Russia described the troops leaving the steel plant as a mass surrender, the Ukrainians called it a mission fulfilled. They said the fighters had tied down Moscow's forces and hindered their bid to seize the east. Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, described the defense of Mariupol as “the Thermopylae of the 21st century” — a reference to one of history’s most glorious defeats, in which 300 Spartans held off a much larger Persian force in 480 B.C. before finally succumbing. In other developments Friday: - Zelenskyy said Russia should be made to pay for every home, school, hospital and business it destroys. He called on Ukraine’s partners to seize Russian funds and property under their jurisdiction and use them to create a fund to compensate those who suffered. - Russia "would feel the true weight of every missile, every bomb, every shell that it has fired at us,” he said in his nightly video address. - The Group of Seven major economies and global financial institutions agreed to provide more money to bolster Ukraine’s finances, bringing the total to $19.8 billion. In the U.S., President Joe Biden was expected to sign a $40 billion package of military and economic aid to Ukraine and its allies. - Russia will cut off natural gas to Finland on Saturday, the Finnish state energy company said, just days after Finland applied to join NATO. Finland had refused Moscow’s demand that it pay for gas in rubles. The cutoff is not expected to have any major immediate effect. Natural gas accounted for just 6% of Finland’s total energy consumption in 2020, Finnish broadcaster YLE said. - A captured Russian soldier accused of killing a civilian awaited his fate in Ukraine’s first war crimes trial. Sgt. Vadim Shishimarin, 21, could get life in prison. - Russian lawmakers proposed a bill to lift the age limit of 40 for Russians volunteering for military service. Currently, all Russian men 18 to 27 must undergo a year of service, though many get college deferments and other exemptions. ___ McQuillan reported from Lviv. Stashevskyi reported from Kyiv.

Financial Segment Records Significant Growth with Development in both Investment and Acquisition Results Highlights - The Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$125.2 million with gross profit of approximately HK$66.1 million. The Group recorded loss for the period of approximately HK$30.2 million. - The segment revenue for provision of financial services of licensed business was approximately HK$88.7 million and segment profit was approximately HK$22.1 million. The provision of financial services of licensed business remains the major revenue contributor during the Reporting Period. - The Group is continuing to expand its market share in Asia-Pacific region and announced the acquisition of 45% equity interest in its related company, DL Family Office (HK) Limited, and 100% equity interest in Emerald Wealth Management Limited at the consideration of HK$63.0 million and HK$15.5 million respectively. - Construction of "ONE Carmel", the Group's first luxury real estate project, is commenced in Q4 2022. HONG KONG, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DL Holdings Group Limited ("DL Holdings" or the "Company" and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group"), Stock Code: 1709.HK) is pleased to announce its unaudited consolidated interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2022 (the "1H FY2022"). Over the past year, the continued spread of COVID-19 epidemic, and a series of major events around the world have caused the fluctuation in global capital market and undermined the confidence. Hong Kong is under pressure from both sluggish economy and the loss of foreign investment. Its finance market is undergoing the biggest challenge in the past 20 years. Despite the challenges, the Group continued to expand its financial services of licensed business. During the Reporting Period, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$125.2 million and the gross profit of the Group was approximately HK$66.1 million. The Group recorded loss for the period of approximately HK$30.2 million. The loss was mainly attributable to the segment revenue for the Apparel Business decreased to approximately HK$16.2 million from approximately HK$69.1 million for the six months ended 30 September 2021, and the fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$40.6 million for the Reporting Period compared to fair value gains of approximately HK$11.0 million for the six months ended 30 September 2021. Total comprehensive expense attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$30.7 million for the Reporting Period. As the global epidemic is coming to an end, the Mainland China and Hong Kong governments are gradually relaxing their epidemic prevention measures to promote the economic recovery, and the Hong Kong capital markets are gradually recovering. The growth in financial services customers and the expanded scale of asset management will bring stronger impetus to the Group's revenue growth. During the Reporting Period, the provision of financial services of licensed business remains the major revenue contributor to the Group. The segment revenue was approximately HK$88.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 11.7% (2021: HK$79.4 million). The segment profit was approximately HK$22.1 million (2021: 44.9 million). The increase in segment revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from financial advisory services in relation to placing of securities while the decrease in segment profit was due to increase in cost of services in relation to the licensed business of the Group, mainly the sub-placing commission in placing of securities. During the Reporting Period, the segment revenue for provision of money lending services was approximately HK$8.3 million, which represents an increase of approximately 2.5%. The segment profit was approximately HK$5.7 million. Due to the COVID-19 outbreaks which were still rampant in Asia (particularly in China) and international trade conflicts, both the sourcing activities and business development opportunities for the garment business had been adversely affected. Therefore, the segment revenue for the Apparel Business decreased to approximately HK$16.2 million and the segment loss for the Reporting Period was approximately HK$5.2 million. The Group's enterprise solutions services business contributed segment revenue of approximately HK$12.0 million. Continued expansion of the financial services of licensed business during adversity Despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19, the Group continued to expand its financial services of licensed business. During the Reporting Period, the Group has provided financial advisory services to its clients from different industry sectors, including communications, industrial, consumer, technology and financial sectors, of which approximately 24.8% are companies listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. As at 30 September 2022, the Group has 355 securities brokerage clients. During the Reporting Period, the transaction amount for the securities trading and brokerage services amounted to approximately HK$2,745 million with total customer asset size for brokerage services amounted to approximately HK$1,538 million. Seizing market opportunity and becoming one of the first listed company operating Multi Family Office business in Hong Kong In May this year, the Group announced the acquisition of 45% equity interest in its related company, DL Family Office (HK) Limited ("DL Family Office HK"), at a consideration of HK$63.0 million, and completed the acquisition of Emerald Wealth Management Limited ("Emerald Wealth") on 18 October 2022 at a consideration of HK$15.5 million, in a total of 78.5 million.

Aaron Carter's fiancée Melanie Martin is learning how difficult milestones are while grieving. In honor of their son Prince Lyric Carter's first birthday, Melanie took to Instagram to celebrate their son—and remember the late pop star. "Happy birthday to my baby boy Prince Lyric Carter," Melanie captioned a series of family photos. "Today is going to be a tough one for me but I know your daddy is playing birthday songs for you up in heaven I love you baby boy!!!" Their son's big day comes two weeks after Aaron was found unresponsive in his Palmdale, Calif. home. He was 34. "I only wish I had more people to help me with him," Melanie, who had a two-year on-again, off-again romance with Aaron, told People Nov. 7. "I will now be raising our son as a single mother and this is the worst day of my life, but I have to be strong for our son." "My heart is completely broken over the passing of my fiancé Aaron," the 30-year-old continued. "I knew he was struggling, and I tried everything to help him He has a very independent and strong personality, and I couldn't help him in the way I felt he needed it." In one of the singer's final interviews before his death, he spoke about his baby boy—"he's going to be one year on November 22nd"—and shed light on his relationship with Melanie. "We had some turmoil," Aaron said on the Nov. 2 episode of the No Jumper podcast. "We did things, we said things that weren't true, just like of retaliating after each other in the media. We both learned a valuable lesson, at least I did. I learned that that's not what you do. You don't do that."

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s national rescue service Mada says a gunman killed five people and wounded three others in a shooting near a synagogue Friday night in east Jerusalem in one of the deadliest attacks on Israelis in years. The gunman was shot and reportedly killed. The wounded included a 70-year-old in critical condition, the medical service said. The shooting took place a day after Israeli troops killed nine Palestinians in the deadliest West Bank raid in years. Thursday's raid in the flashpoint Jenin refugee camp descended into a gunbattle that killed at least nine Palestinians, while clashes elsewhere left a 10th dead. Gaza militants then fired rockets and Israel carried out airstrikes overnight — but the exchange was limited, following a familiar pattern that allows both sides to respond without leading to a major flare-up. The situation poses a challenge for U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ahead of his trip to the region Sunday. He is likely to discuss the underlying causes of the conflict that continue to fester, the agenda of Israel's new far-right government and the Palestinian Authority's decision to halt security coordination with Israel in retaliation for the deadly raid. The Biden administration has been deeply engaged with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in recent days, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, underscoring the “urgent need here for all parties to deescalate to prevent the further loss of civilian life and to work together to improve the security situation in the West Bank.” “We’re certainly deeply concerned by this escalating cycle of violence in the West Bank as well as the rockets that have been apparently fired from Gaza,” Kirby said. “And of course, we condemn all acts that only further escalate tensions.”

Howard Schultz has agreed to appear before a U.S. Senate committee that is examining Starbucks' actions amid an ongoing unionization campaign. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent and chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said Tuesday that Schultz has agreed to testify before the committee on March 29. Sanders had been asking Schultz to testify for several weeks, but Schultz had previously refused, saying the company's chief public affairs officer would be better equipped to discuss the company's labor record. But the committee disagreed and had scheduled a Wednesday vote to subpoena Schultz in an effort to force him to testify. “I look forward to hearing from Mr. Schultz as to when he intends to end his illegal anti-union activities and begin signing fair first contracts with the unions,” Sanders said Tuesday in a statement. In a letter to the committee, Starbucks said it looks forward to “productive dialogue” with the committee. “We will endeavor to provide a deeper understanding of our culture and priorities, including our industry leading benefits offerings and our long-standing commitment to support the shared success of our more than 450,000 global partners,” Starbucks’ Chief Counsel Zabrina Jenkins wrote. At least 290 company-owned U.S. Starbucks stores have voted to unionize since late 2021. Workers are asking for better pay, more consistent schedules and safer stores, among other things. Starbucks and the union have not yet reached a contract agreement at any of those stores. The company opposes unionization, saying it already provides industry-leading benefits and its stores function better when it works directly with its employees. The effort has been contentious. Starbucks Workers United, the union organizing workers, has filed 509 unfair labor practice charges against Starbucks with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the company of firing union organizers, spying on workers and taking other actions to hinder the union campaign. The company has filed 102 charges against the union and says it's failing to bargain in good faith. Last week, a federal labor judge found that the company violated U.S. labor laws "hundreds of times" during the unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York. The judge ordered Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers and required Schultz to read or be present at a reading of employee rights and distribute a recording of the reading to all of Starbucks' U.S. employees. Schultz is a longtime Starbucks CEO who built the company from a small Seattle chain into a global coffee giant. He came out of retirement last year to assume the interim CEO job after Starbucks' previous CEO retired. Laxman Narasimhan, a former PepsiCo executive, will become Starbucks’ new CEO on April 1, but Schultz plans to remain on the company’s board.

Russia claims eastern city of Bakhmut, but Ukrainian military leaders say battle isn’t over KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Although Russia claims it has won control of Ukraine’s eastern city of Bakhmut after a grinding nine-month conflict in which tens of thousands of fighters have died, top Ukrainian military leaders say the battle is not over. Ukrainian officials acknowledge they control only a small part of Bakhmut. Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said Monday that Ukrainian troops hold some areas in its southwestern outskirts, while fighting continues for the strategic heights in the northern and southern parts of the suburbs. “The offensive potential of the enemy has been significantly reduced. Huge losses have been inflicted on the enemy. We have gained time for certain actions, which will be revealed later,” Maliar said. Ukraine says their fighters played a key role in their strategy of exhausting Russian forces. And they say their current positions surrounding Bakhmut will let them strike back inside the 400-year-old city. “Despite the fact that we now control a small part of Bakhmut, the importance of its defense does not lose its relevance,” said Col.-Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, who commands Ukraine’s ground forces. “This gives us the opportunity to enter the city in case of a change in the situation. And it will definitely happen.” The fog of war made it impossible to confirm the situation inside Bakhmut. Russia’s Defense Ministry said fighters of the Wagner private military contractor, backed by Russian troops, had seized the city. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the city was not being fully occupied. In a video posted on Telegram, Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin said the city came under complete Russian control about midday Saturday, proclaiming it “completely taken” as he held a Russian flag with a group of at least nine masked fighters in body armor and heavy weapons. Russian President Vladimir Putin badly needed a victory in Bakhmut, analysts say, especially after a winter offensive by his forces failed to take other cities and towns along the front. But victory in Bakhmut does not necessarily bring Russia any closer to capturing the Donetsk region — Putin’s stated aim at the start of the invasion. Rather, it opens the way to more grinding battles toward Sloviansk or Kostiantynivka, 20 kilometers (12 miles) away, said Kateryna Stepanenko, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, a U.S.-based think tank. For Ukraine, the important factor has been the high number of Russian casualties and sapping of their adversary’s morale for the the small patch of the 1,500-kilometer (932-mile) front line as Ukraine gears up for a major counteroffensive in the 15-month-old war. “The enemy failed to surround Bakhmut. They lost part of the heights around the city. The continuing advance of our troops in the suburbs greatly complicates the enemy’s presence,” Maliar said. “Our troops have taken the city in a semi-encirclement, which gives us the opportunity to destroy the enemy.” About 55 kilometers (34 miles) north of the Russian-held regional capital of Donetsk, Bakhmut was an important industrial center, surrounded by salt and gypsum mines and home to about 80,000 people before the war, in a country of more than 43 million. The city, named Artyomovsk after a Bolshevik revolutionary when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, was known for its sparkling wine produced in underground caves. It was popular among tourists for its broad, tree-lined avenues, lush parks and stately downtown with imposing late 19th century mansions. All are now reduced to a smoldering wasteland. Recent months have seen fierce fighting in Bakhmut’s urban center. But even now, Ukrainian forces are making significant advances near strategic roads through surrounding countryside, chipping away at Russia’s northern and southern flanks with the aim of encircling Wagner fighters inside the city. Ukrainian military leaders say their resistance has been worthwhile because it limited Russia’s capabilities elsewhere and enabled Ukrainian advances. “The main idea is to exhaust them, then to attack,” Ukrainian Col. Yevhen Mezhevikin, commander of a specialized group fighting in Bakhmut, said Thursday. Russia deployed reinforcements to Bakhmut to replenish the lost northern and southern flanks and prevent more Ukrainian breakthroughs, according to Ukrainian officials and outside observers. Ukraine’s tactical gains in the rural area outside Bakhmut could be more significant than they seem, some analysts say. “It was almost like the Ukrainians just took advantage of the fact that, actually, the Russian lines were weak,” said Phillips O’Brien, a professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews. “The Russian army has suffered such high losses and is so worn out around Bakhmut that … it cannot go forward anymore.” Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Bakhmut and in the city bore relentless artillery attacks until a month ago. Then, Ukrainian forces positioned to the south saw their chance for a breakthrough after reconnaissance drones showed the southern Russian flank had gone on the defensive, Mezhevikin said. After fierce fighting for weeks, Ukrainian units made their first advance in the vicinity of Bakhmut since it was invaded. Nearly 20 square kilometers (8 square miles) of territory were recaptured, Maliar said in an interview last week. Hundreds of meters more were regained almost every day since, according to Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesman for Ukraine’s Operational Command East. “Previously we were only holding the lines and didn’t let Russians advance further into our territory. What has happened now is our first advance (since the battle started),” Maliar said. Satellite imagery shows infrastructure, apartment blocks and iconic buildings reduced to rubble. Days before Russia announced it controlled the city, Ukrainian forces held only a handful of buildings amid constant Russian bombardment. Outnumbered and outgunned, they described nightmarish days. Russia’s artillery dominance was so overwhelming, accompanied by continuous human waves of mercenaries, that defensive positions could not be held for long. “The importance of our mission of staying in Bakhmut lies in distracting a significant enemy force,” said Taras Deiak, a commander of a special unit of a volunteer battalion. “We are paying a high price for this.” The northern and southern flanks regained by Ukraine are located near two highways that lead to Chasiv Yar, a town 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Bakhmut, that are key logistics supply routes. One is dubbed the “road of life.” Ukrainian forces on this road often came under fire from Russians on nearby strategic heights. Armored vehicles and pickup trucks heading toward the city to replenish Ukrainian troops were frequently destroyed. With those high plains now under Ukrainian control, its forces have more breathing room. “This will help us design new logistic chains to deliver ammunition in and evacuate the injured or killed boys,” said Deiak, speaking from inside Bakhmut on Thursday, two days before Russia claimed control of the city. “Now it is easier to deliver supplies, rotate troops, (carry out) evacuations.” ___ Danica Kirka in London contributed.

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo’s prime minister on Thursday complained of bias against his country from the United States and the European Union and tolerance of what he called Serbia’s authoritarian regime. Prime Minister Albin Kurti said his Cabinet took a different stance. “We insist that behaving well with an autocrat doesn’t make him behave better. On the contrary,” he said. The U.S. and EU envoys for the Kosovo-Serbia talks — Gabriel Escobar and Miroslav Lajcak respectively — “come to us with demands, with requests of the other side,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. Ethnic Serbs recently clashed with Kosovo police and then the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force, leaving 30 soldiers and over 50 Serbs injured and provoking fears of a renewal of the region’s bloody conflicts. Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, outgoing head of the EU Rule of Law Mission, known as EULEX, said that during last week’s violent confrontation “there were very serious injuries sustained by several KFOR soldiers.” “There already was violence of the worst kind of thing. Everyone … says we’re lucky that there were no casualties.” After the soldiers were injured last week, NATO said it would send an additional 700 troops to northern Kosovo. Wigemark said the time would come when EULEX civilian police, who no longer have executive powers but only “monitoring and mentoring Kosovo police,” wouldn’t be needed in Kosovo. “But the conditions are not quite there yet,” he said. The European diplomat did not rule out that NATO could decide to deploy “thousands of military troops” in Kosovo. “If the situation is becoming increasingly unstable, if it starts to escalate again, of course, that is an option.” The clashes grew out of an earlier confrontation after ethnic Albanian candidates who were declared the winners of local elections in northern Kosovo entered municipal buildings to take office and were blocked by Serbs. Ethnic Serbs overwhelmingly boycotted the votes. Brussels has asked Kosovo to withdraw its special police forces from northern Kosovo, where most of the ethnic Serb minority lives, and to hold fresh elections. In February and March, Kosovo and Serbia reached a EU-facilitated deal on normalizing relations, with an 11-point plan for implementation. The process remains the focus of the talks mediated by the envoys from Washington and Brussels. Kurti insisted the special police forces could not be “downsized” until criminal Serb gangs either left the country or were arrested. He said there was peace in Kosovo if there were no “orders for violence from Belgrade.” Western powers should not indulge Belgrade, the root problem of the violence in the Western Balkans, Kurti said. Kurti complained that even for the April snap election in the four northern municipalities with a Serb majority population, “international mediators, European facilitators failed us.” He said they urged Kosovo to make electoral amendments but did not put pressure on the ethnic Serbs’ only political party to take part in the vote. He said he would need the international community’s help to foster political pluralism in the ethnic Serb minority “for a fair competition, for a democratic race for new mayors.” “We cannot afford another process where Serbian candidates boycott it a couple of days before the elections start because that’s what Belgrade orders,” he said. Wigemark, who has also served in Bosnia-Herzegovina, said it was vital that “these kinds of incidents are not allowed to flare up, to spill over to some sort of armed conflict.” “The ongoing dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, that is the venue to sort out most of the outstanding questions,” he said. Serbia and its former province Kosovo have been at odds for decades, with Belgrade refusing to recognize Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence. The violence near their shared border has stirred fear of a renewal of a 1998-99 conflict in Kosovo that claimed more than 10,000 lives and resulted in the KFOR peacekeeping mission.

NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Sharpshooters from the United States Department of Agriculture will be deployed to help thin the deer herd at Norristown Farm Park in Montgomery County. The county's department of Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites says the cull event will happen during March in coordination with state and federal agencies. The cull events had been held annually from 2005 to 2019, but were postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Deer culls serve to reduce the park's deer population and bring it into balance with the site's available resources. Culls reduce crop damage, lessen deer collisions with cars, and decrease damage to the park's vegetation," county officials said in a statement. The statement went on to say the culls help also help reduce illnesses among the animals. "The operation will be closely monitored by officials from various agencies and since it is after hours, the park while closed to the public," the department said. "The cull will be patrolled continuously to ensure public safety." Officials say the meat harvested will be donated to area food banks. Residents with questions should contact the Norristown Farm Park office at (610) 270-0215.

Police: Daycare worker arrested for inappropriate, violent behavior towards children MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF/Gray News) - A South Carolina daycare worker is facing criminal charges after a witness reported inappropriate, sometimes violent behavior towards children. The Horry County Police Department arrested 22-year-old Megan Nicole Sallee Wednesday and charged her with unlawful conduct toward a child, according to WMBF. The report gathered by the Horry County Police Department says on July 12, a witness saw Sallee leave two children in bouncy seats for half a day, far longer than the Kidzone Day Care permits, causing bruising to their backs. The warrant states on July 15, while working at the Kidzone Day Care, Sallee violently shook the crib the victim was in, causing the child to hit his head against the crib railing. It also states Sallee pushed the child down in the crib, causing the child’s head to slam into the crib rails. The report stated Sallee also put a blanket over the child’s head several times. According to the report, these incidents happened throughout the day while the child was in Sallee’s care. Signs your child may be experiencing abuse at daycare, according to Stanford Medicine. Kidzone Day Care said it had closed the business in late July and that the space had been taken over by The Learning Station. According to WMBF, the two businesses are not connected, and The Learning Station said it never employed Sallee. The Learning Station released the following statement to WMBF: “Our team at The Learning Station is saddened to hear of a child care worker being arrested. This is a serious and unfortunate incident. We would like it to be clear that Kidzone is no longer in existence and is not our program. Kidzone Child Care Center was run by different owners under a different license numbers.
