MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adge Pharmaceuticals ("Adge") continues to advance its rare disease programs in the Rett Syndrome and Osteogenesis imperfecta in support of the regulatory requirements of the US FDA to move its lead asset expeditiously to the clinic.
In preparation for launching of the clinical program in the Rett Syndrome, Dr. Kalev Kask, CEO and founder of Adge, will be attending the ASCEND 2022 Rett Syndrome National Summit held in Nashville on April 27-30, 2022.
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.
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. An estimated 25,000 to 50,000 people in the United States have the condition.
Adge Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of first-in-class therapies for orphan indications.

Rare portrait by Francis Bacon could fetch up to $42 million at auction
Updated: 6:59 PM CDT Jun 15, 2022
A rare portrait by celebrated painter Francis Bacon will go on auction this month at Sotheby's London for the first time in the artwork's history."Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud," painted in 1964, was intended as the centerpiece to a large triptych — a multi-part artistic format favored by Bacon — but Bacon soon decided his creations should be seen as individual pieces instead. The paintings intimately captures British artist Lucien Freud, who was at one time a friend of Bacon's and later, by the mid-1980s, a foe. The three artworks were exhibited together in Stockholm and Hamburg shortly after completion in 1965. Now, one side panel now belongs to a museum in Jerusalem and the other in a private collection.The auction for what was once the center painting will take place on June 29 at the London auction house, with experts estimating the piece could fetch up to £35 million ($42 million). "Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud" has been hidden from public view in a private art collection for the past 40 years, according to Sotheby's, which will exhibit the painting the weekend before it goes to auction.Bacon and Freud's tumultuous and well-documented relationship imbues the portrait with another layer of complexity and value. The pair met in 1944 and were said to have been inseparable until the 1980s, when professional rivalry got the better of them. Several tape recordings from that time shared with British newspaper The Observer in 2018 revealed Bacon openly ridiculing Freud's skill. By 1982, Freud and Bacon — two pillars of British contemporary art — were not on speaking terms. Bacon's tender "Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud," painted decades before their falling out, is all the more melancholic since it has become a symbol of friendship lost.According to Bella Freud, fashion designer and daughter of Lucien Freud, the soured friendship between the two artists cast a long shadow. "Francis was clearly somebody who he adored and admired. And there weren't many people my father talked about in that way," Freud said in a news release. "The things he repeated about him were just dazzling, utterly disarming and breathtakingly wonderful, and silencing because of their brilliance. I imagine he must have missed that when he stopped being friendly with him."Bacon is known as a big hitter at auctions, with his work often smashing pre-sale evaluations. In 2020, his 1981 piece titled "Triptych Inspired by the Oresteia of Aeschylus" sold for $84 million, surpassing the original estimate of between $60 and $80 million. Almost 10 years ago in 2013, another triptych of Lucien Freud from 1969 sold for $142 million in just six minutes and grabbed the title of most expensive artwork ever sold at auction. That title is now held by Leonardo Da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" after the controversial painting fetched an eye-watering $450 million in 2017.

SHANGHAI, June 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In an internet age overflowing with new hot topics, understanding younger generations' social behaviors, life attitude and aesthetics poses a formidable challenge: many may be "a social butterfly online, but a lone ranger offline"; they "let themselves go" as they see fit. Even despite rapidly changing trends, clues to what makes young people tick can be found by looking into how they express and engage with each other, at a time when sharing on social media has become a new fixture in their lives. Therefore, a good starting point to grasping social trends and lifestyle elements among younger generations is to closely watch their social interactions.
Just So Soul, the research arm of Soul App, recently surveyed 2,214 SOUL users, of whom 80.21% are Generation Z. Combined with survey data, it compiled what users shared on social platforms over the past six months into a report titled 2023 Social Media Keywords, presenting cutting-edge insight into Gen-Z social networking trends.
As a novel social platform beloved by young people, SOUL boasts nearly 30 million active monthly users, of whom 80% are Gen-Zers, serving as a true-to-life ecosystem of diverse Gen-Z social trends. From "buddy search" to "anti-emo", the keywords discovered by the sticky social media app encapsulate heartfelt experiences shared by many young users with distinct personalities, mirroring a kaleidoscope of broader lifestyles and cultural movements.
Buddy search amidst a friendship recession
"I've been with the company for more than a year. I still don't know all of my colleagues. I often walk around with my head down to avoid any awkward greetings". This is how many young people joke about their social lives.
Due to increased geographical mobility and the exhausting fast pace of life, individuals are struggling to develop and maintain intimate relationships, especially friendships, as evidenced by fewer friends and reduced time devoted to loved ones. According to Just So Soul, today's youth only have an average of 2.5 close friends. This phenomenon is known as a "friendship recession", which was discovered by the research institute as one of the social media keywords and reflects the difficulty of young people to make and maintain new friendships.
Friendship doesn't come easy, and young people unwilling to succumb to loneliness are trying to turn their social situations around and explore new ways to connect. The Just So Soul report notes that 66.49% of younger generations are widening their social circles using social networking apps.
In an era of information overload where most people send numerous messages but usually end up receiving few responses, "Respond right after reading" has become another keyword that captures the essence of a social trend in 2023. For a virtuous social relationship, Gen-Zers expect timely feedback and engagement, which is why "respond right after reading" is considered by them one of the most important social etiquettes. Based on Just So Soul's in-app survey, over 35% of respondents use this phrase to represent their status or attitude, making it the most popular keyword.
Priority to authenticity and self-pleasing
Finding happiness in a fast-paced life
Living a hustle and bustle life, young people are constantly under pressure, academically, professionally and romantically. This can explain why they feel a glooming omnipresence of emotional turmoil. Anything from criticism at work or a parents' unreasonably high expectations to escalating numbers on a bathroom scale can trigger a bout of depression. "I'm emo" has become a catchphrase for young people.
However, youngsters are increasingly fighting against negative feelings. In the survey, 20.6% of young users chose "anti-emo" as their key 2023 social media keyword. To get over the depths of depression and find some space for fun in life, many cope and adjust themselves by hanging out with friends, watching TV shows, listing to music, and exercising.
"Some women are in tears one moment and then start to beam with joy the next; others wear frowns at work, only to transitioning into a hip skater with crisp moves in their leisure time"…The Just So Soul report found that women aged 27 to 34 generally have a better understanding of psychological compensation since they tend to have richer experiences and can identify with more than just one side of life. Such knowledge enables them to discover the beauty of living "multiple identities".
Social interactions are a basic human need and the advancement in digital technology has iterated and enriched the way young people socialize. SOUL deep dives into how and where younger generations connect in order to gain a more thorough understanding, and ultimately build a virtual space for them to find new friendships and connections. Most importantly, SOUL is committed to growing with them.

WASHINGTON — Celebrities are back at the White House following a pop-culture backlash during the Trump years, when just about anyone considered high-wattage refused to show up.
Rocker Elton John is bringing his farewell tour to the South Lawn on Friday, the White House announced Tuesday, one week after singer James Taylor and hosts Jonathan and Drew Scott, of HGTV's “Property Brothers,” helped celebrate a new health care and climate change law.
John is among a slew of entertainers who refused to perform for then-President Donald Trump.
Taylor sang and strummed his guitar to open last week's event while the Scotts were among hundreds of people in the audience. They also joined second gentleman Doug Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, to film a snazzy video promoting the law's climate change provisions.
Since taking office during a pandemic, which put a pause on too much togetherness, the 79-year-old Biden has also opened the White House to teen singer Olivia Rodrigo, to talk about young people and COVID-19 vaccinations, and the South Korean boy band BTS, to discuss Asian inclusion and representation.
Last year, the Democratic president resumed the tradition of hosting an in-person White House reception for the artists receiving honors from the Kennedy Center.
Actor Jennifer Garner accompanied first lady Jill Biden to West Virginia last year to visit a school-based COVID-19 vaccination site in Charleston. Garner also hosted a PBS “In Performance” special celebrating the holidays at the White House.
John's concert is called “A Night When Hope and History Rhyme,” a reference to a poem by Irishman Seamus Heaney that Biden often quotes. The performance is part of a collaboration with A+E Networks and the History Channel that “will celebrate the unifying and healing power of music, commend the life and work of Sir Elton John and honor the everyday history-makers in the audience,” the White House said. Guests will include teachers, medical professionals, students, LGBTQ+ advocates and others.
John also has a gig scheduled for Saturday night at Nationals Park in Washington as part of a tour wrapping up his 50-plus-year career. He opened the final leg of his North American farewell series in Philadelphia in July.
The 75-year-old British singer is among celebrities who avoided the Trump White House, starting with the Republican's 2017 inauguration. John had declined an invitation to play at Trump's inaugural festivities, saying he didn't think it was appropriate for someone with British heritage to play at the swearing-in of an American president.
Trump had included high praise for John in a few of his books and played John’s songs at his presidential campaign rallies, including “Rocket Man” and “Tiny Dancer.” Trump had also nicknamed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “rocket man” because of Kim’s habit of test-firing missiles.
Country music singers Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood were among the more notable entertainers who performed to help usher Trump into office. Bigger names from other genres refused or weren't considered.
Hollywood has always leaned heavily Democratic.
For the inauguration of Democrat Biden, singers Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks were among those who performed.
Aretha Franklin and Beyonce were among celebrities who turned out in a huge show of force for Democrat Barack Obama, from fundraising to his two inaugurations to performances inside the White House or on the grounds.
They disappeared under Trump, but are returning for Biden.
Biden relied on celebrities during his 2020 presidential campaign, when in-person schmoozing was largely suspended because of the coronavirus. A parade of movie and TV stars, pop icons and sports standouts stepped up to help Biden raise money and energize supporters.
Sir Elton — he was knighted in 1998 by Queen Elizabeth II — has sold over 300 million records worldwide, played over 4,000 shows in 80 countries and recorded one of the best-selling singles of all-time, his 1997 reworking of “Candle In The Wind” to eulogize Princess Diana, which sold 33 million copies.
He has scored over 70 top 40 hits, including nine No. 1s, and released seven No. 1 albums in the 3 1/2-year period from 1972 to 1975, a pace second only to that of the Beatles. John has five Grammy awards, a Tony award for “Aida,” and Academy Awards for songs from “The Lion King” and “Rocketman.”
He has played at the White House in the past.
John and Stevie Wonder performed together at a 1998 state dinner hosted by Democratic President Bill Clinton honoring British Prime Minister Tony Blair. They performed under a tent on the West Colonnade roof.
John was critical of Republican President George W. Bush, telling a British magazine in November 2004 that Bush and his administration “are the worst thing that has ever happened to America.”
But he was more diplomatic at a reception at the White House in December 2004 for a group of Kennedy Center honorees that included himself.
The rock legend said receiving the honor “is about the icing on the cake. ... It's incredible for someone who's British to be given such an accolade from America, which has given me so much already in my career.”

Innovative product addresses both operator and consumer needs
ATCHISON, Kan., Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MGP Ingredients, Inc., (MGPI: Nasdaq) announces the launch of Proterra® Crumbles, a line of chef-seasoned plant-based protein crumbles developed for foodservice operations. Ready to serve in just minutes, Proterra pea protein crumbles can help cafeterias meet growing consumer demand for plant-based foods that are both flavorful and satisfying.
Proterra's global-inspired flavors –Zesty Chimichurri and Savory Barbacoa, with more flavors under development – are the basis for versatile dishes that can be served throughout the day.
The new product line is MGP's first for the foodservice channel. The maker of specialty wheat proteins and starches leveraged 30 years' leadership in textured protein technology and the expertise of its Culinary Chef to create Proterra crumbles.
"Demand is exploding for alternatives to meat proteins," said Michael Buttshaw, MGP Vice President of Ingredient Solutions Sales and R&D. "The challenge is to create plant-based alternatives that taste good and have a texture and mouthfeel similar to meat. Proterra delivers on both."
Proterra meets other criteria that matter to consumers, including its simple label (pea protein and seasoning mix), minimum processing and Kosher and Halal certification. Proterra Crumbles are also Non-GMO Project Verified and free from major allergens.
For operators, Proterra is an economical and operationally sound choice because it doesn't contain water, reducing shipping and storage costs. It is shelf-stable and has a 12-month shelf life. In addition, Proterra has excellent holding and reheating characteristics after it is prepared, which helps minimize waste.
"We are excited about Proterra and its potential in foodservice," Buttshaw said. "We see significant opportunity in college and university cafeterias, where a younger demographic desires foods that are better for the planet."
Research from the Food Institute found that nearly 80% of Gen Z chooses meatless meals one to two times per week.
Proterra Crumbles are packaged in 2.5-pound bags, making 63 half-cup servings with 80 calories and 11 grams of protein.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has won eight Cup Series races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, more than any driver in NASCAR history. And yet the seven-time champion said he’s never felt more ill-prepared for a race heading into Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600.
Johnson retired from full-time stock car racing in 2020 but is participating in a few select marquee Cup races this year for Legacy Motor Club, which he co-owns. He’s also racing on a number of other circuits, including next month’s 24 hours of Le Mans as he works to bring more name recognition to his brand.
That means he’s had very limited experience in the NextGen car, which debuted in 2022.
Johnson ran the Daytona 500 and at Circuit of the Americas this year in the No. 84 Chevrolet, but hasn’t competed at a 1.5-mile oval like Charlotte Motor Speedway. And with rain threatening to wipe out practice and qualifying Saturday, Johnson could be stepping into the car cold when the race begins Sunday night, leaving him a bit unsettled.
“A couple hours (testing) in Phoenix is the only comparable oval experience I’ve had,” Johnson said. “We had 30 to 40 laps in a simulator and that’s been it. I want to survive the first stage (Sunday) and go from there.”
His expectations are modest for a driver who has won the Coca-Cola 600 four times.
“A top 10 or top 15 would be an awesome finish for us,” Johnson said.
Johnson said he’s “excited, invigorated and exhausted” since joining Maurice Gallagher last year as co-owner of Legacy Motor Club, the team formerly known as Petty GMS Motorsports.
On the track it’s been a rough season for the team.
Full-time drivers Erik Jones and Noah Gragson are 25th and 32nd in Cup points, and neither has a top-five finish this season. The best performance from that duo is Jones’ sixth-place finish at Talladega in April.
“Erik continues to show just how good he is,” Johnson said. “He’s had challenging circumstances this year and he just stays focused and gets the job done. Noah, from afar, I wasn’t sure how seriously he took things. His desire and commitment to his craft is what has impressed me the most.
“We have a massive effort on our hands to figure out many ways to improve. I’m proud of everything going on. I can’t ask for more effort from everyone involved. We just need more consistency.”
The rain, which is forecast to continue throughout the weekend, also threatens to put a damper on Johnson’s plans to fly to Paris next week to begin preparations for his latest racing adventure at Le Mans, another of his coveted global marquee events.
“It’s feeling very real,” Johnson said. “I’m very excited for the opportunity. I honestly don’t know what to expect. Right now, it’s great excitement and curiosity.”
After Le Mans, Johnson plans to return home to continue building Legacy’s foundation, which will transition to Toyota cars next season.
“It’s been an exciting adventure that I’ve embarked on here,” Johnson said. “It’s exciting to be in this new element. I truly feel like that I’m part of something that’s going to be a force in the future of NASCAR.”

SPOKANE, Wash. — Former Gonzaga guard Julian Strawther was drafted No.29 overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Draft.
The All-WCC first team selection averaged a career high 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in his final season in Spokane.
Strawther scored a career high 40 points and made a career high eight three pointers on January 28th against Portland.
Without a doubt, Strawther will be remembered most by Zag fans for his game winning 38 foot three pointer in his hometown against UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen to send the Zags to the Elite Eight this past season.
Strawther also hit a similar deep game winning three against BYU on the road in Provo on January 12th.
The 6'8" wing averaged 11.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as a sophomore en route to All-WCC honorable mention honors and declared for the NBA Draft.
He chose to return to school for his junior season and shot a career high 40.8 percent from three and 77.6 percent at the free throw line, which made him a draft prospect.
He began his Gonzaga career in 2020-2021 as a member of the, "tricky trio" along with fellow freshmen Jalen Suggs and Dominick Harris.

Dressed in a Rembrandt blue cap and gown covering her white, sleeveless dress, Hannah Lopez, 18, waited silently for her graduation ceremony to begin.
It was meant to be a drive-by celebration, with well-wishers waving as they passed by, but the guests stopped and assembled in the front yard to pay tribute to the lone graduate.
Penny Lopez, 39, Hannah’s mother, had decorated the yard with blue, yellow and white helium balloons. The family put up congratulatory signs and a white and gold cloth backdrop.
Before the guests arrived, two pediatric hospice nurses had gently helped Penny lift her daughter and dress her in the academic regalia laid out on the bed. Attentive to detail, nurse Anja Thomas brushed off several long eyelashes that had fallen on Hannah’s checks.
Next, they transitioned Hannah from the bed to the wheelchair.
Penny pushed the wheelchair out to the lawn and in front of the backdrop as Thomas followed, pulling a portable oxygen tank. Penny placed the mortarboard with a blue and yellow tassel on top of her daughter’s ink-black hair.
“There are so many things that I won’t get to see Hannah do,” Penny said. “I will never see her graduate from college, get married, or start a family.
“When she was diagnosed, we were told we most likely would never see her graduate from high school. So, for her to meet this milestone, is such an accomplishment because the odds have been stacked against her and she has persevered.”
Hannah has Mucopolysaccharidosis type III. Also known as Sanfilippo syndrome, it’s a rare genetic condition.
“We have learned it’s OK to ask someone for help.”
— Penny Lopez, Hannah’s mother
Penny explains that Hannah is missing an enzyme needed to break down naturally occurring sugars in her body. Without that enzyme, her body is breaking down.
“It has been described neurologically as Alzheimer’s for kids,” Penny said. Only 1 in 70,000 children are born with this inherited condition. The average life span of people with Sanfilippo syndrome is between 10 and 13 years old.
Hannah has outlived the odds.
She was diagnosed at age 5 after losing milestones and has slowly declined since then. She lost her ability to walk in 2017. Now she uses a wheelchair and is unable to speak.
She has been a pediatric hospice patient with Providence TrinityKids Care since October 2019.
“We have learned it’s OK to ask someone for help,” Penny said. “It’s been a relief for us because we have that support.”
“It’s one of those things nobody wants to talk about, but you must,” she continued. “You must have some type of plan. When Aiden passed away it wasn’t expected. It’s so hard to make those decisions in grief. We want to have a plan for Hannah so we can mourn when it’s time.”
Hannah’s younger brother Aiden was diagnosed with the same condition. He died in his mother’s arms in 2011, just three months shy of his third birthday.
Penny and her husband, Gilbert Lopez, 42, are both Army veterans. They met at Ft. Knox in Kentucky. Along with Hannah, their other children are Lucas, 17; Joaquin, 10; Lorenzo, 5; and Paloma, 3.
The COVID-19 pandemic upended almost everything for the family, but Gilbert and Penny do what soldiers do. They march on.
Many people had become angry and unsettled during the pandemic. Not Gilbert. Asked if he was upset that some people refused to wear masks to protect the vulnerable, he said no.
He didn’t have time for anger, Gilbert said. He only had time for love.
“Regardless of the fact that we are experiencing some challenges, we are a normal family,” he said. Every family will face hard times. “We just take it every day at a time,” he said. “We try and stay positive.”
What, Hannah’s parents were asked, are the most cherished times with your daughter?
On Friday nights Penny crawls into bed with Hannah and watches “Gilmore Girls.”
For Gilbert, it’s tucking Hannah into bed at night.
He gives her nightly medicine through a stomach tube and checks the temperature of the room to make sure it’s not too warm. Her body can’t regulate her temperature. He then leans down and kisses her on the cheek. It’s their time together.
Lucas, Hannah’s younger brother by one year, also is involved with Hannah’s care.
“It feels like I am both a big brother and like a nurse in a way,” he said. “It’s a really interesting experience. So many new skills.”
He added: “It’s really nice to look up to her for inspiration and to see her perseverance. I have learned a lot from her.”
Another of her caregivers is Thomas, who has been a registered nurse for over 30 years. She has spent most of that time working in hospitals with acutely ill children. Over the last five years, she has transitioned to pediatric hospice.
The words pediatric and hospice shouldn’t be in the same sentence, but Thomas speaks about the privilege of being with families, including Hannah’s, during times that are so difficult.
She has the opportunity, Thomas said, to witness love.
“It makes this job the most rewarding thing I have ever done,” she said. “To meet families like Hannah’s, it’s truly amazing.”
Before the pandemic, Hannah attended a special day class daily at California High School in Whittier.
Eventually, her classes were held virtually, and Lucas sat next to her as he participated in his own virtual classes.
When it was determined it was safe to do so, Hannah was able to attend class in person, once a week, with her teacher Sylvia Meza and a nurse, Deborah Retama.
She was the only student in the classroom.
During the graduation ceremony at the Lopez home, Shana Jones, an assistant principal at California High, welcomed the guests and made a few brief remarks.
“What a remarkable journey Hannah has had,” Jones said.
She presented Hannah with her graduation certificate and placed it in her lap. Meza then moved the tassel from one side of Hannah’s mortarboard to the other.
The home ceremony was held in mid-May. Hannah had not been doing well, so the Lopez family decided to gather early to celebrate.
But on Wednesday, 600 graduating seniors and their families gathered at California High’s football field for commencement. Among the names read out: Hannah Lopez. She and her family were there to hear it.

BALTIMORE — Gunfire erupted at a block party in Baltimore on Sunday, — killing two people, wounding 28 and leaving an extensive crime scene that marred the U.S. holiday weekend, police said. Three of the wounded were in critical condition.
Baltimore Police Department Acting Commissioner Richard Worley told reporters there were a total of 30 victims during a press conference at the scene.
The shooting took place just after 12:30 a.m. at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city, Worley said.
The shooting comes amid gatherings around the country leading up to the July Fourth holiday. Elsewhere, a shooting in Kansas left seven people with gunshot wounds and two more victims hospitalized after being trampled as people rushed out of a nightclub early Sunday morning, police there said.
All of the Baltimore victims were adults. Nine victims were transported by ambulance and 20 victims walked into area hospitals with injuries from the shooting, Worley said.
An 18-year-old woman was found dead at the scene and a 20-year-old man was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after, police said.
“I want those who are responsible to hear me, and hear me very clearly,” Mayor Brandon Scott said at the scene. “We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you. Until then, I hope that every single breath you take, that you think about the lives that you took, think about the lives that you impacted here tonight.”
No arrests were made immediately after the shooting. Scott asked anyone with information to come forward to assist investigators locate the “cowards” who were responsible for the shooting.
Authorities said the crime scene was extensive and that it will take some time for detectives to work it.
“Treat this as if it were your family,” Scott said. “How you would want people to treat it if you were mourning, if this was your neighborhood, if this was an event in your community that this happened at. We want you to treat it that way because that's how we have to treat each other as Baltimoreans.”
The violence comes as federal prosecutors in Baltimore this week touted their efforts to reduce violent crime in the city. Police have reported nearly 130 homicides and close to 300 shootings so far this year, though that’s down from the same time last year. Authorities have vowed to crack down aggressively on repeat violent offenders.
This is a developing story. It will be updated when more information is available.

BEIJING — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday kicked off two days of high-stakes diplomatic talks in Beijing aimed at trying to cool exploding U.S.-China tensions that have set many around the world on edge.
Blinken opened his program by meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang for an extended discussion to be followed by a working dinner. He'll have additional talks with Qin, as well as China's top diplomat Wang Yi and possibly President Xi Jinping, on Monday.
Neither Blinken nor Qin made any substantive comments to reporters as they began the meeting at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Despite Blinken's presence in the Chinese capital, prospects for any significant breakthroughs are slim, as already strained ties have grown increasingly fraught in recent years. Animosity and recriminations have steadily escalated over a series of disagreements that have implications for global security and stability.
Blinken is the highest-level American official to visit China since President Joe Biden took office and the first secretary of state to make the trip in five years.
Biden and Xi agreed to Blinken's trip early at a meeting last year in Bali. It came within a day of happening in February but was delayed by the diplomatic and political tumult brought on by the discovery of what the U.S. says was a Chinese spy balloon flying across the United States that was shot down.
The list of disagreements and potential conflict points is long, ranging from trade with Taiwan, human rights conditions in China and Hong Kong to Chinese military assertiveness in the South China Sea and Russia's war in Ukraine.
Blinken will also be pressing the Chinese to release detained American citizens and to take steps to curb the production and export of fentanyl precursors that are fueling the opioid crisis in the United States.
U.S. officials have said Blinken will raise each of these points, though neither side has shown any inclination to back down on their entrenched positions.
Shortly before leaving, Blinken emphasized the importance of the U.S. and China establishing and maintaining better lines of communication. The U.S. wants to make sure "that the competition we have with China doesn't veer into conflict" due to avoidable misunderstandings, he told reporters.
Biden and Xi had made commitments to improve communications "precisely so that we can make sure we are communicating as clearly as possible to avoid possible misunderstandings and miscommunications," Blinken said Friday.
Xi offered a hint of a possible willingness to reduce tensions, saying in a meeting with Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates on Friday that the United States and China can cooperate to "benefit our two countries."
"I believe that the foundation of Sino-U.S. relations lies in the people," Xi said to Gates. "Under the current world situation, we can carry out various activities that benefit our two countries, the people of our countries, and the entire human race."
Biden told White House reporters Saturday he was "hoping that over the next several months, I'll be meeting with Xi again and talking about legitimate differences we have, but also how ... to get along."
Chances for such a meeting could come at a Group of 20 leaders' gathering in September in New Delhi and at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November in San Francisco that the United States is hosting.
Since the cancellation of Blinken's trip in February, there have been some high-level engagements. CIA chief William Burns traveled to China in May, while China's commerce minister traveled to the U.S. And Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Wang in Vienna in May.
But those have been punctuated by bursts of angry rhetoric from both sides over the Taiwan Strait, their broader intentions in the Indo-Pacific, China's refusal to condemn Russia for its war against Ukraine, and U.S. allegations from Washington that Beijing is attempting to boost its worldwide surveillance capabilities, including in Cuba.
And, earlier this month, China's defense minister rebuffed a request from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for a meeting on the sidelines of a security symposium in Singapore, a sign of continuing discontent.
Austin said Friday he was confident that he and his Chinese counterpart would meet "at some point in time, but we're not there yet."
Underscoring the difficulties, China rejected a report by a U.S. security firm, that blamed Chinese-linked hackers for attacks on hundreds of public agencies, schools and other targets around the world, as "far-fetched and unprofessional"
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson repeated accusations that Washington carries out hacking attacks and complained the cybersecurity industry rarely reports on them.
That followed a similar retort earlier in the week when China said Qin had in a phone call with Blinken urged the United States to respect "China's core concerns" such as the issue of Taiwan's self-rule, "stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop harming China's sovereignty, security and development interests in the name of competition."
Meanwhile, the national security advisers of the United States, Japan and the Philippines held their first joint talks Friday and agreed to strengthen their defense cooperation, in part to counter China's growing influence and ambitions.
This coincides with the Biden administration inking an agreement with Australia and Britain to provide the first with nuclear-powered submarines, with China moving rapidly to expand its diplomatic presence, especially in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific island nations, where it has opened or has plans to open at least five new embassies over the next year.
The agreement is part of an 18-month-old nuclear partnership given the acronym AUKUS — for Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Speaking ahead of Blinken's arrival, two U.S. officials downplayed hopes for major progress and stressed that the trip was intended to restore a sense of calm and normalcy to high-level contacts.
"We're coming to Beijing with a realistic, confident approach and a sincere desire to manage our competition in the most responsible way possible," said Daniel Kritenbrink, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia and the Pacific.
Kurt Campbell, the top Asia expert at the National Security Council, said "intense competition requires intense diplomacy if we're going to manage tensions. That is the only way to clear up misperceptions, to signal, to communicate, and to work together where and when our interests align."

Some prosecutors called it a “zombie;” other legal observers said it was a “sleeper case.” But Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) probe into Donald Trump is the first to initiate history-making criminal charges against a former president.
Among the dizzying array of ongoing criminal probes into former President Trump, he faces investigations by both federal and Georgia authorities over his role in seeking to block the transfer of power after the 2020 election. The Justice Department is also investigating the mishandling of classified records at his Florida home.
New York, however, has stepped in first.
The New York case elicits complex feelings, even among those eager to see Trump convicted. While the charges have yet to be unsealed, many perceive them to be the least serious of the accusations he faces across the various other probes.
The exact charges remain under seal until Trump’s arraignment, scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, but they are expected to include at least one felony for his role in organizing a hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly ahead of the 2016 election.
In some ways, it makes sense that the Manhattan charges have come first, with interest in a possible case percolating in some fashion since the payments became public in 2018.
Josh Stanton, an attorney with Perry Guha who has penned analyses of the case, stressed that Bragg is not rushing in bringing the case.
“New York not waiting is indicative of the fact that they are committed to respecting the rule of law, even if their case is not the one with the most severe possible sentence and also is not the one where his conduct was the most egregious,” Stanton said, noting that even with a felony conviction, Trump is likely to get probation rather than jail time.
“They have decided that Trump violated the law….So I don’t think it makes sense for the Manhattan district attorney to wait and see if other people go first. This is from conduct from 2016 and 2017.”
But some have expressed hesitation, concerned either over whether Bragg can mount a successful prosecution in what could be a complicated case or that having a higher-profile matter mark the first-ever indictment of a president would be better optics.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) told The Hill that Bragg going first indicates this is not the political witch hunt that Trump claims, a sign that prosecutors are independently assessing the strength of the evidence of misdeeds before proceedings.
“If it wasn’t an independent process, then Donald Trump would be saying, ‘Oh, this is coordinated, and this is political.’ So the fact that the public perception is that the first charge is not the one that is the strongest or most important case against him, to me just shows that this is an independent process that’s playing out and that’s what you want in any prosecution,”he said.
Others noted that the details of the case — spurred by an extramarital affair Trump has denied — pale in comparison to the other potential charges that might be brought against him.
“After inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, pressuring local officials to overturn the 2020 election, receiving financial kickbacks from foreign powers, and numerous other crimes during his presidency, it’s embarrassing and infuriating that the first indictment against Trump is about … Stormy Daniels,” Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said in a statement.
Some fear that could help fuel Republicans narratives minimizing the case.
The GOP has largely dismissed the case as politically motivated, while some have suggested the underlying conduct doesn’t merit prosecution.
“Look, this is an issue about campaign finances. And it’s a tenuous [case]at best,”former Vice President Mike Pence told CNNin a Thursday night appearance.
Even Trump’s 2024 primary rivals did not seek to capitalize on the indictment, with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tweeting out her past appearance on Fox News saying, “I think the country would be better off talking about things that the American public cares about.”
Norm Eisen, counsel for the Democrats in Trump’s first impeachment, pushed back in an interview on those critiques, stressing that the case didn’t just implicate an alleged affair. He noted the timing of the hush arrangement followed the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape.
“If these payments had not been made, and these alleged campaign finance violations had not occurred, there’s no telling if the election results might have been different. So, in that regard, the issues…being investigated in the state of Georgia and in the federal grand jury are very important, but they did not affect the outcome. This might have,” Eisen said.
Stanton also fought the idea that Trump was simply “fudging some numbers.”
“On the one hand, we look at white collar crimes differently from violent crimes. But some white collar crimes have very serious real world impacts,” he said.
“The real world impact of this is it actually might have helped sway the election.…This information should have been public, should have been reported.”
Some have also questioned the strength of Bragg’s case, particularly when it comes to bringing felony charges.
The returned indictment means at least 12 of the 23 grand jurors found “reasonable cause” that Trump committed the charges. Prosecutors now must meet a much higher burden to secure a conviction: proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Outside legal experts suggest the indictment will focus on charges of falsifying business records, a misdemeanor under New York law. Elevating it to a felony, however, would require connecting Trump’s alleged “intent to defraud” to a second crime.
Prosecutors could attempt to connect the base charge to the campaign finance violations to which Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer who made the payment, pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme.
“I always call this the Capone theory, the Al Capone theory. They couldn’t get him on murder, extortion, racketeering, bootlegging, et cetera. They got him on tax evasion. If that crime done was enough for me to be charged, fined, convicted and sent to prison, why am I any different than Donald Trump?” Cohen, who has since turned against Trump, asked on CNN on Thursday.
Eisen’s research indicates the district attorney’s office regularly brings falsifying business records charges in white-collar cases and that prosecutors on multiple occasions connected it to state campaign finance crimes.
“There’s nothing novel here, because this pattern has been prosecuted and convictions won so many times. That’s also why it’s not a political prosecution, because contrary to what the former president and his allies are saying, I believe that if anyone else did this, they would be prosecuted. There’s no reason that a former president should be exempted,” he said.
Trump’s attorney has countered that the former president didn’t violate campaign finance laws, saying he used personal funds to reimburse Cohen irrespective of the election. Trump’s allies have also argued that as a presidential candidate his conduct was governed by federal campaign law, something they argue is out of reach for the state prosecutor to use in bumping up to a felony.
Though some observers are elevating the other cases against Trump, those investigations have their own challenges.
Trump has filed a motion to quash the Georgia probe, something that may not undercut any ultimate criminal case, but nonetheless as a procedural move is sure to eat up court time.
And while many Democrats are eager to see Trump held to account for efforts to remain in power after the election, culminating with the rally on Jan. 6, 2021, before his supporters violently attack the Capitol.
But many of the serious charges prosecutors could mull in connection with the event would likely require demonstrating Trump’s intent, a heavier burden for Justice Department lawyers.
“A lot of these things require proof of willfulness,” Stanton said, “And that’s always a challenge for prosecutors.”

Sen. Brown Makes Pitch to Bring Space Command Headquarters to Ohio
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - After reports surfaced last the month that the White House might be halting plans to move U.S. Space Command’s headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, members of Congress from Ohio are urging the White House to move the headquarters to their state.
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and seven other members of Congress from Ohio say the Buckeye State is ideally suited to host U.S. Space Command and want the administration to move it Ohio’s Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton.
“There is no better place in the entire United States than Ohio for the Space Command Headquarters and additional Space Force units. Our state is ready to lead our military into the next frontier,” said Sen. Brown.
The bipartisan calls were sent in a letter sent to the president and other top officials on Wednesday.
“We believe it makes sense for the Command to be located within proximity of both U.S. Air Force and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in addition to leading international, research institutions. The state of Ohio is ideally suited to host U.S. Space Command and Space Force Units,” the letter read.
It comes after reports emerged that the Biden Administration had delayed the move of U.S. Space Command Headquarters from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama because of Alabama’s anti-abortion law.
While the White House has not confirmed or denied the reports of reconsidering the move, Brown said Thursday that the White House is going to reconsider the Alabama location and added that Ohio will be considered as an alternative.
“We’re in the running because we have Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We have NASA Glenn, we have Armstrong, we have Battelle. We have a huge aerospace industry, feeding both into Airbus and Boeing,” said Sen Brown.

As Republicans and Democrats fight for control of Congress this fall, a growing number of conservative political action groups are targeting their efforts closer to home: at local school boards.
Their aim is to gain control of more school systems and push back against what they see as a liberal tide in public education classrooms, libraries, sports fields, even building plans.
Once seen as sleepy affairs with little interest outside their communities, school board elections started to heat up last year as parents aired frustrations with pandemic policies. As those issues fade, right-leaning groups are spending millions on candidates who promise to scale back teachings on race and sexuality, remove offending books from libraries and nix plans for gender-neutral bathrooms or transgender-inclusive sports teams.
Democrats have countered with their own campaigns portraying Republicans as extremists who want to ban books and rewrite history.
At the center of the conservative effort is the 1776 Project PAC, which formed last year to push back against the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which provides free lesson plans that center U.S. history around slavery and its lasting impacts. Last fall and this spring, the 1776 group succeeded in elevating conservative majorities to office in dozens of school districts across the U.S., propelling candidates who have gone on to fire superintendents and enact sweeping “bills of rights” for parents.
In the wake of recent victories in Texas and Pennsylvania — and having spent $2 million between April 2021 and this August, according to campaign finance filings — the group is campaigning for dozens of candidates this fall. It’s supporting candidates in Maryland’s Frederick and Carroll counties, in Bentonville, Arkansas, and 20 candidates across southern Michigan.
Its candidates have won not only in deeply red locales but also in districts near liberal strongholds, including Philadelphia and Minneapolis. And after this November, the group hopes to expand further.
“Places we’re not supposed to typically win, we’ve won in,” said Ryan Girdusky, founder of the group. “I think we can do it again.”
In Florida, recent school board races saw an influx of attention — and money — from conservative groups, including some that had never gotten involved in school races.
The American Principles Project, a Washington think tank, put a combined $25,000 behind four candidates for the Polk County board. The group made its first foray into school boards at the behest of local activists, its leader said, and it’s weighing whether to continue elsewhere. The group’s fundraising average surged from under $50,000 the year before the pandemic to about $2 million now.
“We lean heavily into retaking federal power,” said Terry Schilling, the think tank’s president. “But if you don’t also take over the local school boards, you’re not going to have local allies there to actually reverse the policies that these guys have been implementing.”
In a move never before seen in the state, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis endorsed a slate of school board candidates, putting his weight behind conservatives who share his opposition to lessons on sexuality and what he deems critical race theory. Most of the DeSantis-backed candidates won in their August races, in some cases replacing conservative members who had more moderate views than the firebrand governor.
The movement claims to be an opposing force to left-leaning teachers unions. They see the unions as a well-funded enemy that promotes radical classroom lessons on race and sexuality — a favorite smear is to call the unions “groomers.” The unions, which also support candidates, have called it a fiction meant to stoke distrust in public schools.
In Maryland’s Frederick County, the 1776 group is backing three school board candidates against four endorsed by education unions. The conservatives are running as the “Education Not Indoctrination” slate, with a digital ad saying children are being “held captive” by schools. The ad shows a picture of stacked books bearing the words “equity,” “grooming,” “indoctrination” and “critical race theory.”
Karen Yoho, a board member running for re-election, said outside figures have stoked fears about critical race theory and other lessons that aren’t taught in Frederick County.
The discourse has mostly stayed civil in her area, but Yoho takes exception to the accusation that teachers are “grooming” children.
“I find it disgusting,” said Yoho, a retired teacher whose children went through the district. “It makes my heart hurt. And then I kind of get mad and I get defensive.”
In Texas, Patriot Mobile — a wireless company that promotes conservative causes — has emerged as a political force in school board races. Earlier this year, its political arm spent more than $400,000 out of $800,000 raised to boost candidates in a handful of races in the northern Texas county where the company is based. All of its favored candidates won, putting conservatives in control of four districts.
The group did not respond to requests for comment, but a statement released after the spring victories said Texas was “just the beginning.”
Some GOP strategists have cautioned against the focus on education, saying it could backfire with more moderate voters. Results so far have been mixed — the 1776 Project claims a 70% win rate, but conservative candidates in some areas have fallen flat in recent elections.
Still, the number of groups that have banded together under the umbrella of parental rights seems only to be growing. It includes national organizations such as Moms for Liberty, along with smaller grassroots groups.
“There is a very stiff resistance to the concerted and intentional effort to make radical ideas about race and gender part of the school day. Parents don’t like it,” said Jonathan Butcher, an education fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
The foundation and its political wing have been hosting training sessions encouraging parents to run for school boards, teaching them the basics about budgeting but also about the perceived dangers of what the group deems critical race theory.
For decades, education was seen as its “own little game” that was buffered from national politics, said Jeffrey Henig, a political science and education professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College who has written about outside funding in school board elections. Now, he said, local races are becoming battlegrounds for broader debates.
He said education is unlikely to be a decisive issue in the November election — it’s overshadowed by abortion and the economy — but it can still be wielded to “amplify local discontent” and push more voters to the polls.
Republicans are using the tactic this fall as they look to unseat Democrats at all levels of government.
In Michigan, the American Principles Project is paying for TV ads against the Democratic governor where a narrator reads sexually explicit passages from the graphic novel “Gender Queer.” It claims that “this is the kind of literature that Gretchen Whitmer wants your kids exposed to,” while giant red letters appear saying “stop grooming our kids.”
Similar TV ads are being aired in Arizona to attack Sen. Mark Kelly, and in Maine against Gov. Janet Mills, both Democrats.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — U.N. appeals judges on Wednesday significantly expanded the convictions of two allies of late Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, holding them responsible for involvement in crimes across Bosnia and in one town in Croatia as members of a joint criminal plan to drive out non-Serbs from the areas during the Balkan wars.
The appeals chamber at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals overturned their acquittals of involvement in the criminal plan and raised the sentences of Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic from 12 to 15 years.
Presiding Judge Graciela Gatti Santana said the two men, both now in their 70s, “shared the intent to further the common criminal purpose to forcibly and permanently remove the majority of non-Serbs from large areas of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina through the commission of the crimes charged in the indictment.”
The appeals ruling brings to an end the longest-running war crimes prosecution dating back to the Balkan wars of the early 1990s.
Milosevic was put on trial for his alleged involvement in fomenting the bloody conflicts that erupted as Yugoslavia crumbled but he died in his cell in 2006 before verdicts could be reached.
The mechanism’s chief prosecutor, Serge Brammertz, hailed what he called a “really important” ruling.
“This is the only decision we have with officials from Belgrade convicted as part of the joint criminal enterprise,” he said.
Stanisic was in court for the hearing, while Simatovic watched by video link from a U.N. detention unit.
Gatti Santana called the appeals ruling a “milestone” for the court — which deals with cases left over from the now-defunct U.N. war crimes courts for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda — as it was the final case dealing with war crimes from the wars that erupted in the early 1990s as Yugoslavia crumbled.
Stanisic and Simatovic were convicted two years ago of aiding and abetting murder and other crimes committed by Serb paramilitaries in 1992 in the Bosnian town of Bosanski Samac but acquitted of responsibility for other crimes. The appeals chamber reversed both those findings and raised their sentences.
The length of the case underscores the complexity of successfully proving war crimes in international courts, amid international calls for perpetrators of atrocities during the current war in Ukraine to be brought to justice.
Stanisic, a former head of Serbia’s State Security Service, and Simatovic, a senior intelligence operative with the service, are the only Serbian officials to have been convicted by a U.N. court of involvement in crimes in Bosnia.
Stanisic and Simatovic initially were acquitted a decade ago by the U.N.’s Yugoslav war crimes tribunal but an appeals chamber later ordered a retrial.
Brammertz said that war crimes trials would continue in the Balkans as many victims and survivors still await justice.
“For us, it was the last case,” Brammertz told reporters. “But we know there are hundreds of cases which still need to be prosecuted domestically.”
Munir Tahirovic, leader of an association of victims of war and genocide in Northern Bosnia, said that he had been waiting 30 years for a verdict linking Belgrade to crimes in his country.
“This judgment also proved that Serbia committed aggression not only on Bosnia and Hercegovina, but also Croatia,” he said.
Rights group Amnesty International’s Europe Researcher, Jelena Sesar, said the ruling “leaves no doubt about the involvement of Serbia’s police and security services in the wartime atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is something that Serbia’s authorities continue to deny to this day.”

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WROC) — Golf is not an individual sport. Every single player has a teammate, that’s the caddie. For Phil Mickelson, his caddie is also his younger brother, Tim Mickelson.
The golfer-caddie partnership is unique. But the bond goes a bit deeper when the person carrying your clubs is your brother.
“It’s really special to be able to share certain moments with a family member,” said Tim Mickelson. “Obviously winning the PGA 2 years ago was a special moment for us.”
Caddying is one of the more thankless jobs in sports. It looks easy right? Just carry around golf clubs around the course. But there’s so much more to the job than that.
“Some caddies are meteorologists,” said Tim Mickelson. “They have to know exactly which way the wind is going if their player asks for it. Nutritionists, when and where to get their players food, water, electrolytes things like that.”
Tim also said much of the preparation for a major championship is spent studying the course all by themselves.
“We probably spend 4, 10-12 hours at a major championship writing things in our yardage books,” said Tim Mickelson. “So that we know as many inches on this ground as we can possibly know.”
So how is a caddie supposed to manage intense moments on the course? Where the golfer is irritated and clearly upset.
“That’s one of the tough parts as a caddy,” said Tim Mickelson. “When to say something, when not to say something because when they are frustrated, sometimes you need to let them just get it out. Other times you need to bring them back to reality like hey that was in the past and we have to focus on the next shot.”
A weatherman, dietician, and a therapist, it seems like a lot to be on one person’s plate. But the job has its perks. Tim added that he gets to travel to new places and with the downtime he gets, he’s able to hit restaurants and see what that any given city has to offer.
Tim stated that there have been two very special moments in his caddying career that stand out from the rest.
“Number 1 was certainly the PGA (Championship), two years ago to help him win as the oldest player ever,” said Tim Mickelson. “Then number two was when he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am because my grandfather, his grandfather obviously as well, was apart of the first ever caddy group in 1919. So for us to go and win at a place that had so much family history.”
Phil Mickelson currently sits at one over par through 16 holes of play at the PGA Championship. Play was suspended on Thursday due to darkness.

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Fla., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the World Health Organization, top global killers include heart failure, COPD, cancers, Alzheimer's, neonatal conditions, and diabetes. Therefore, discovering viable treatments for these issues is a worthwhile endeavor that could reduce the economic burden and potentially lengthen life. Here we consider this regarding GlaxoSmithKline Plc (NYSE: GSK), AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ: AZN), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), and Cardiol Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL).
Sadly, the Global Burden of Disease Study, published in October 2020, suggests that the world might be approaching a turning point in life expectancy gains. The study reveals a rise in exposure to key risk factors, combined with rising deaths from cardiovascular disease in some countries. This highlights the urgent need for global progress on healthcare and remedies.
GlaxoSmithKline Plc and Johnson & Johnson are working on treatments for respiratory diseases, AstraZeneca Plc is making strides in oncology medications, while Eli Lilly is developing life-altering Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer drugs. Each of these drugs could potentially lead to extended life expectancy.
However, the number one global cause of death is cardiovascular disease (CVD), an area where innovation is particularly welcome. Cardiol Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) is one company hoping to make significant strides in this space.
Heart failure has remained the leading cause of death globally for the last 20 years, further exacerbated by mounting diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure cases. Over 550,000 new heart disease cases are diagnosed in the U.S. annually. This devastating condition destroys quality of life, often results in death, and causes a severe economic burden.
Cardiol Therapeutics is focused on researching and developing an anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapy to treat CVD. Its lead product candidate, CardiolRx™, is a pharmaceutically produced oral formulation being clinically developed for use in cardiovascular medicine.
The company currently has one multi-national clinical trial ongoing, with another expected to commence shortly. Furthermore, it has just announced its third FDA IND authorization in CVD for its flagship formulation CardiolRx™.
This new IND authorization is for investigating the potential use of CardiolRx™ in treating patients with recurrent pericarditis, a cardiovascular, inflammatory disease and the most common of pericardial diseases. The company will evaluate whether this intervention could be a therapeutic option for those who are intolerant to current medical treatment or who require long-term administration of corticosteroids to control their disease.
Pericarditis refers to inflammation of the pericardium – the membrane, or sac, surrounding the heart. Symptoms include debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, which result in physical limitations, reduced quality of life, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations.
Cardiol's multicenter Phase II open-label pilot study of CardiolRx™ for recurrent pericarditis will run parallel with the company's multi-national Phase II acute myocarditis trial, which is expected to commence imminently.
Cardiol believes there is a significant opportunity to develop its oral formulation of CardiolRx™ as an orphan drug designation for the treatment of acute myocarditis and recurrent pericarditis, potentially adding significantly more value to the company.
Cardiol is also advancing its subcutaneous formulation of CardiolRx™ as a potential anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapy for treating chronic heart failure, specifically diastolic heart failure. There are 64.3 million people with heart failure globally, and it remains a leading cause of death and hospitalization. Associated annual healthcare costs in the U.S. alone exceed $30bn.
If Cardiol achieves its long-term goal of developing a treatment for diastolic heart failure, the addressable market will be huge. This is a massive health problem in the western world with no current standard of care. Plus, it is a condition that continues to grow in the developed world due to an increase in diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
Cardiol Therapeutics is well funded through to 2024 and has no debt. As of March 2022, it had $74.8m in the bank, and 11% of its shares were insider and employee owned. It also had 4% ownership by pharmaceutical partners and research collaborators.
GlaxoSmithKline Plc (NYSE: GSK) is a pharmaceutical company with a strong portfolio of innovative and established medicines with leading market positions in respiratory disease and HIV. It is also a world leader in vaccine production. In 2021, GSK respiratory sales were up 21% AER, on the growth of Trelegy, which treats COPD and asthma, and Nucala for severe asthma.
AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ: AZN) achieved global distinction for its COVID-19 vaccine, but the company also treats a diverse range of conditions. In Q1, its Oncology total revenue grew 25% Y/Y, despite COVID-19 continuing to impact cancer diagnosis and treatment. AstraZeneca presented new data across its diverse portfolio of cancer medicines at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU) in February 2022.
The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) achieved positive results from its Phase 2b CYPRESS study of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) adult vaccine candidate. Results show that the vaccine candidate effectively protected against three clinical definitions of lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV. It demonstrated vaccine efficacy of 70% to 80% in adults aged 65 and older. RSV is a very contagious virus and debilitating disease for both the very young and old.
Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) has a growing portfolio of medicines, including treatments in the areas of bone muscle joint, cancer, cardiovascular, diabetes, endocrine, immunology, neurodegeneration, neuroscience, and pain. The FDA recently approved Lilly's Mounjaro™ (tirzepatide) injection. This is the first and only GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist for treating adults with type 2 diabetes.

First Alert Forecast: staying hot and steamy through mid-week
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - The summertime pop-up showers and thunderstorms on radar will diminish shorty after sunset this evening. Mostly quiet conditions will then prevail through the overnight hours as low temperatures fall to the lower and middle 70s by the early morning hours.
While a few more popcorn-like downpours are possible again Tuesday afternoon, most spots will likely stay hot and dry. Highs are forecast to reach the lower and middle 90s under a mix of sun and clouds. Heat stress concerns will be highest in our northwestern communities and closer to the river. A Heat Advisory will be in effect for this area from 10 AM until 7 PM for heat indices between 105 and 110 degrees.
This summer pattern of steamy conditions and slight chances for rain each afternoon will continue over the next few days. We should see better chances for rain and storms by Friday into the start of the weekend as a front approaches from the north. With shower chances increasing, the heat will also be knocked down a bit during this time with highs more so in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees.

Day care center worker, former lawmaker face charges related to nude photos of children
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire woman who worked at a Massachusetts day care center is accused of taking sexually explicit photos of children and sending them to a former partner.
Lindsay Groves, 38, of Hudson, was charged Thursday with sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography. According to federal investigators, she took nude photos of children at Creative Minds in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, and texted them to “an individual with whom she was previously in an intimate relationship.”
Massachusetts authorities did not identify Groves’ former partner. But according to Nashua Police, the same investigation led to the arrest of a former state lawmaker who is charged in New Hampshire with distributing child sex abuse images.
Stacie Laughton, of Derry, resigned from the New Hampshire House in December after being charged with stalking Groves. Court documents do not list an attorney for Groves, and it is unclear whether Laughton has a lawyer to speak on her behalf.
Laughton, a Democrat, has a long history of arrests. In 2012, she was believed to be the first transgender person elected to a state legislature, but she resigned before taking her seat after reports surfaced about her 2008 convictions for identity fraud and falsifying evidence. She successfully ran again in 2020 was re-elected in 2022 to represent Nashua, months after being convicted of repeatedly texting 911 during non-emergencies. She resigned in December after being jailed on the charges related to Groves.
The day care center didn’t respond to a phone message Monday. WMUR-TV reported that it has closed and is cooperating with the investigation.

The following is a statement by funders and philanthropic organizations in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings in Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina and Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. A full list of signatories follows.
NEW YORK, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Supreme Court's decision impedes colleges and universities from selecting their own student bodies and fully addressing systemic racial inequalities that persist. The ruling threatens to return this nation to a time when education and opportunity are reserved for a privileged class. It endangers 60 years of multiracial movements to challenge our nation to live up to the ideals enshrined in our founding documents. The decision erects new barriers to building a society in which everyone has the opportunity to improve their lives, communities, health, and education.
Today's ruling will make the vital work of building inclusive college campuses much harder. Experience has shown that substituting socioeconomic status as a proxy for race will not achieve the diversity that strengthens the fabric of all universities. Educators and communities dedicated to teaching and mentoring young people and adults from every imaginable background understand how all students — not just students of color — benefit from diverse racial and socioeconomic learning environments. Decades of research show that students educated with people from different backgrounds and experiences improve their analytical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. These skills are essential to building our future workforce, our military, and a healthy democracy. In the realm of health, research shows that racially and ethnically representative medical schools produce better-trained physicians and care teams that reflect the communities they serve.
Universities and colleges and those organizations supporting them deserve the resources and support to continue their critical mission. They need our resolve, too. Philanthropies are vital partners in our nation's progress. We will remain steadfast in our collective mission to create a more equitable nation within the bounds of the law. To forge ahead, we must continue to advocate for the human dignity of all people — regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or country of origin — with renewed vigor and commitment.
Our nation's future prosperity, vitality, and unity depend upon America becoming a true multiracial democracy — an aspiration that requires racial equity and diversity in higher education. Despite today's ruling, our foundations will not waver in our commitment to those making the nation's high ideals a reality for all communities and all people.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — The gunman who attacked an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago fired more than 70 rounds with an AR-15-style gun that killed at least six people, then evaded initial capture by dressing as a woman and blending into the fleeing crowd, police said Tuesday.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli told a news conference that the suspected shooter, who was arrested late Monday, used a high-powered rifle “similar to an AR-15" to spray bullets from atop a commercial building into a crowd that had gathered for a parade in Highland Park, a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan that has long drawn the rich and sometimes famous. More than 30 people were also wounded.
Investigators who have interrogated the suspect and reviewed his social media posts have not determined a motive for the attack, Covelli said.
They have also not found any indication that the shooter targeted anyone by race, religion or other protected status.
Authorities have not filed criminal charges.
Earlier in the day, FBI agents peeked into trash cans and under picnic blankets as they searched for more evidence at the site where the assailant opened fire.
The shots were initially mistaken for fireworks before hundreds of panicked revelers fled in terror in Highland Park, a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan that has long drawn the rich and sometimes famous.
A day later, baby strollers, lawn chairs and other items left behind by panicked parade goers remained inside a wide police perimeter. Outside the police tape, some residents drove up to collect blankets and chairs they abandoned.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
“It definitely hits a lot harder when it’s not only your hometown but it’s also right in front of you,” resident Ron Tuazon said as he and a friend returned to the parade route Monday evening to retrieve chairs, blankets and a child’s bike that he and his family abandoned when the shooting began.
“It’s commonplace now,” Tuazon said. “We don’t blink anymore. Until laws change, it’s going to be more of the same.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration.
Among them was Nicolas Toledo, who was visiting his family in Illinois from Mexico. He was shot and died at the scene, his granddaughter, Xochil Toledo, told the Chicago Sun-Times. Also killed was Jacki Sundheim, a lifelong congregant and “beloved” staff member at nearby North Shore Congregation Israel, which announced her death on its website.
Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap; baby strollers, some bearing American flags.
“There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over Robert E. Crimo III about 5 miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and warned that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Authorities initially said Crimo, whose father once ran for mayor of Highland Park, was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo's social media said he was 21.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth. Covelli said on Tuesday that no children had passed away.
Police have not released details about the victims, but Toledo’s granddaughter told the Sun-Times that Toledo had spent most of his life in Morelos, Mexico. Xochil Toledo said she remembers looking over at her grandfather, who was in his late 70s, as a band passed them.
“He was so happy,” she said. “Happy to be living in the moment.”
Xochil Toledo said her father tried to shield her grandfather and was shot in the arm; her boyfriend also was shot in the back and taken by someone to nearby hospital because they weren’t sure there would be enough ambulances for all the victims.
Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter that two Mexicans were also wounded.
Sundheim had spent decades on the staff at North Shore Congregation Israel, early on teaching at the congregation’s preschool and later serving as Events and B’nei Mitzvah Coordinator, “all of this with tireless dedication,” the congregation said in its statement announcing her death.
“Jacki’s work, kindness and warmth touched us all,” the statement said.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five were children.
Since the start of the year, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park one, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill said the gunman apparently fired from a rooftop where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
Covelli said Crimo legally purchased the gun in Illinois within the past year.
Crimo, who goes by the name Bobby, was an aspiring rapper with the stage name Awake the Rapper, posting on social media dozens videos and songs, some ominous and violent.
In one animated video since taken down by YouTube, Crimo raps about armies “walking in darkness” as a drawing appears of a man pointing a rifle, a body on the ground and another figure with hands up in the distance.
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
The community of about 30,000 on Chicago’s north shore has mansions and sprawling lakeside estates and was once home to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Gina Troiani and her 5-year-old son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”

In the early Eighties, when “High Tech” was still written with quotation marks and the region was starting to become known as The Silicon Valley, tennis buddies Bob Medearis and Bill Biggerstaff took their idea for a new bank to a poker game in Pajaro Dunes.
Their wives and children would be joining them at their Monterey Bay beachfront rentals the next day, but Friday night the two men gathered their close friends, made a big dinner and explained the plan to open a bank specifically for tech companies. They would call their customers “clients” and name their business after the region’s trendy new moniker: Silicon Valley Bank.
Who’s in?
Everyone around the table – including a Lockheed engineer in charge of pilotless drones in the 1970s and a Memorex executive – ponied up $10,000 each. They turned for support to a cast of luminaries, including a legendary NFL quarterback, a maverick congressman and the founder of one of the Valley’s signature law firms.
And the bank that collapsed this month in spectacular fashion was born.
From white glove to black swan
After 40 years of riding waves of tech booms and busts, Silicon Valley Bank disappeared faster than an errant tweet from Elon Musk, spooking customers into a run on deposits, which in turn jolted the banking industry and roiled the U.S. economy and global markets. The fallout has raised major questions about how the blunders of a single medium-sized bank could unleash a torrent of panic in a region so accustomed to risk.
But Silicon Valley Bank’s origin story — and its seemingly prosperous four-decade ride – in many ways mirrors the generations of startups and gambles that turned fields of orchards into the capital of innovation.
“Silicon Valley wouldn’t be Silicon Valley without Silicon Valley Bank,” said Varun Badhwar, a serial entrepreneur who had millions of dollars at stake in the crisis.
Tech companies across the region and around the globe had come to expect white-glove treatment from Silicon Valley Bank, not a black-swan event.
Yet the company whose founders once boasted of their PR acumen – mailing out one-sheet newsletters to 10,000 potential clients in the 1980s and dressing up in clean room “bunny suits” to show off their connection to the tech industry – would in many ways be undone by it.
Money for new ideas
When Silicon Valley Bank opened its doors in 1983, Ronald Reagan was president and Congress was deregulating the banking industry. Tom McEnery was mayor of San Jose, redeveloping the downtown core and trying, unsuccessfully, to entice Steve Jobs to build a new Apple headquarters within the city limits. Hewlett Packard, IBM and Lockheed were still the best-known companies in the Valley.
And Medearis, who earned a Harvard MBA and taught construction management part time at Stanford, had come up with the tech-focused concept for the bank.
“The original idea sort of kept hitting me in the head with my students, because they literally, really wanted to find money to start backing a new idea,” Medearis said during a 2014 interview at a Computer History Museum event, where he also shared the poker story.
He approached his friend Biggerstaff, a Wells Fargo executive, and together they recruited Roger Smith, another Wells Fargo exec, as president and CEO.
The trio put together a list of 100 founders – from their poker buddy Starr Colby from Lockheed to quarterback Jim Plunkett, a former Stanford star who led the Raiders to the Super Bowl just months after the bank opened.
A former bank executive remembers seeing Plunkett at the bank’s cocktail parties. The NFL great said in an interview this past week that he was constantly approached for endorsements back then but doesn’t recall his involvement with the bank. “You’ve got to remember,” he said, “I got hit a lot when I was playing football.”
The “who’s who” list of founders served as the calling card for the new bankers. As Smith, the CEO, said at the history museum event, “I never went anywhere in the world that I would not share our founders group, that somebody didn’t know or know of somebody.”
Former congressman and Republican presidential candidate Pete McCloskey – who had represented the Valley in Washington for 16 years – was asked to join the bank’s board of directors right after losing a campaign for the U.S. Senate.
He was a lawyer, not a banker, said McCloskey, who is 95 now and recovering from a stroke in the home he shares in the high-desert town of Madrid, N.M., with his wife, Helen. “But I think people who organized the bank felt my name and reputation would add dignity to the board because I have so many friends in the venture capital business.”
Larry Sonsini, who got his start in California at McCloskey’s law firm of McCloskey Wilson and Mosher before spinning off with John Wilson to form the preeminent Wilson Sonsini law firm, was an early legal adviser to the new bank. Just three years earlier, Sonsini had represented Apple in its much-anticipated IPO.
“Roger would come to me and say, ‘Do you think Silicon Valley is sustainable?’ That was always the question. Is the valley going to die out?” Sonsini said in an interview Friday. “Having been there at the beginning of 1966, I’d say, ‘Hell no!’”
‘Never call first’
Medearis, Biggerstaff and Smith quickly established a disciplined work culture. Their daily 8:30 a.m. meetings would always start at 8:25. As the company grew, hundreds of employees joined the call on speaker phone from four offices. Loan committee meetings began at 7 a.m.
Biggerstaff had his own method for success, saying in a 1999 company newsletter that he used a “unique and foolproof” system for recruiting new customers.
“Every Monday, I read the San Jose Mercury News classified from front to back,” he said. He would search employment ads for companies that mentioned start-ups, pre-IPOs or entrepreneurs, then drive to their offices and introduce himself.
“I never call first,” he said.
As the Valley evolved, those classified ads that once filled the newspaper would be usurped by online sites like Craigslist and Monster.com.
Some of the bank’s first customers were Bay Networks, Chips & Technologies and Cisco Systems, whose “two owners did not know how to assemble the company’s balance sheet” when they first connected with SVB, Biggerstaff, who died in 2010, said in a company newsletter his daughters keep in a scrapbook.
They also had a system to vet promising technologies through Medearis’ connections at Stanford.
“We’d talk with our friends at the university,” Medearis, who is now retired in Davis, said at the history museum. “What do you know about this field? Is this something that’s really good? … If they said there was no fatal flaw, then I’d go ahead and process the loan.”
In 1989, Peter Mok came from a competing bank to join SVB’s division that focused on technology clients, which was 90% of the bank’s deposits.
“It was like Seal Team Six,” Mok said, comparing his group to the Navy’s special operations force.
There was so much energy and motivation there, he said, that “I would go to work at 7:30 a.m. and most people were there already.”
When Smith announced during a morning meeting sometime in the early Nineties that the bank had reached a milestone – $1 billion in deposits – a cheer went up from the speaker phones and employees high-fived each other, he said.
Over the next few years, the bank would open a Pacific Rim group to attract foreign investors and continue to grow through the dot-com boom into a new century.
“We used to say at the bank,” Smith told the audience at the history museum, “don’t ever do anything that you wouldn’t want to be on ‘60 Minutes’.”
Old-fashioned bank run
On the morning of March 9, news of Silicon Valley Bank’s troubles pinged, chimed and buzzed through social media platforms after CEO Greg Becker told customers that the bank was forced to sell bonds at a $1.8 billion loss, and implored venture capitalists not to panic.
By the afternoon, an old-fashioned run on the bank ensued at an institution that served more than half of the Valley’s venture capital-funded startups, including Pinterest and ZipRecruiter. On that one day, $42 billion was withdrawn. The next day, the federal government took over, marking the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, after Washington Mutual in 2008.
Wok called the SVB’s blink-of-the-eye demise “a tragedy and a travesty.”
The drama rocked the Valley, sending customers into a tailspin.
“Being in a startup culture in the valley, I’ve flown close to the sun on many occasions, with my companies teetering on the brink of success or failure, but I’ve never felt the stress that was involved with trying to make payroll when you had zero access to your cash,” said Mike Morgan, CFO at San Mateo data storage management start-up Cloudian.
Morgan has been with eight startups since the early 1990s, including seven that did business with Silicon Valley Bank. “We had emergency board meetings where everybody was screaming anything from ‘Stay the course, don’t worry about it,’ to ‘My God, let’s break into the bank and take our money.”
At the Palo Alto offices of Endor Labs on University Avenue, Varun Badhwar was in a Zoom meeting behind his desk when a Slack message from a colleague buzzed through with the news: Silicon Valley Bank’s stock prices had tanked 60%.
“Honestly, my first reaction was, ‘Wow, what an overreaction,’” he said. “This sounds like a great time to buy SVB stock.”
But by noon, his phone was flooded with texts from other startup founders asking for advice: “What are you doing? What are you hearing?”
By 2:30, as the run on the bank was underway, Badhwar decided to act. But he had only a half hour before the typical wire transfer cutoff time.
He texted the “relationship manager” at the bank and asked if a transfer would go through. She called him back within two minutes.
Like George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” she tried to talk him out of it.
“Our books are fundamentally sound,” Badhwar said the manager told him. “I don’t foresee any problems.”
But Twitter feeds and text messages were flying with conflicting stories and advice. Badhwar’s adrenaline was pumping. What if this really was an overreaction and Monday morning came around and everything was fine? Would he have jeopardized his relationship with the bank? But what about his 42 employees, counting on a paycheck early the next week?
With minutes to spare, he clicked through a $5 million transfer.
“You’ve got to, at the end of the day, just listen to your heart,” he said. “Not that I expected them to collapse the next morning, but you don’t want to be the last guy with money left behind.”
‘We’ll get stronger’
Four decades after the poker game near the Pajaro River that gave rise to Silicon Valley Bank, a levee upstream burst, flooding a nearby town with misery – just as the federal government stepped in to rescue Silicon Valley Bank and make its customers whole.
And just as the levee will be rebuilt into something more secure, Sonsini is confident that something will rise up to replace Silicon Valley Bank.
Silicon Valley, he said, is much bigger than one bank, and it will continue to endure beyond any company, even the titans such as Shockley Labs, Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel and Apple.
“I’m an optimist, maybe because I’m in my sixth or seventh decade in the business and still at it,” said Sonsini, who is 82. “We’ll get stronger, but we just cannot panic about it.”

CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WRIC) — The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors is now accepting applicants to join the board after one of their members resigned earlier this month.
Last week, Midlothian District Supervisor Leslie Haley announced her resignation so she could take on a position with Virginia Attorney General’s office.
On Monday afternoon, the Board held a special meeting to discuss the future of the Midlothian District’s vacant position. Supervisors first voted to approve a special election to take place November 8.
The special election will determine a long-term replacement for Haley, who will carry out the rest of the position’s term through 2023. Until that election, however, the Board will appoint an interim Supervisor to take on the role’s responsibilities.
Chair and Clover Hill Supervisor Chris Winslow emphasizes the importance of filling Haley’s seat.
“We don’t want Midlothian district to go long without someone in there tending to her, if you will, and being responsive to citizens,” Winslow said.
Applications to be considered for the spot are now open and will be accepted online until 5 p.m. on June 23, 2022.
To qualify, one must reside in the Midlothian district, be available to attend board meetings (currently scheduled for July 27, Aug. 24, Sept. 21, and Oct. 26), be open to serving on various boards and commissions, and be willing and able to complete state and local conflict of interest forms. Applicants must also be over the age of 18 and cannot be felons. You can apply online on the county’s website.

Fewer people are getting the flu shot this year
(CNN) - In a majority of states, cases of the flu continue to rise.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate there have been at least 8.7 million flu illnesses, 78,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 flu deaths so far this season.
“Hospitalizations for flu continue to be the highest we have seen at this time of year in a decade,” said CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
The CDC says this year’s flu shot appears to be a “very good match” to circulating strains, especially among those who are most vulnerable.
The latest CDC data shows through the end of October, flu vaccinations are down about 12% for pregnant women from the same point in 2021. Rates for seniors are down about 3% in that time period and flu vaccinations for children are down about 5% compared to where they were before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is National Influenza Vaccination Week, and U.S. health officials say getting a flu shot is key to protecting yourself and those around you.
”We see 35% decrease rates of hospitalization, even when we don’t have a good match, which really just emphasizes when we do have a good match how much more effective it will be,” Walensky said.
If you have not gotten a flu shot yet, health officials say it is not too late. Getting one now is better than not at all.
Walensky says the agency is aware of some reports of shortages for both antivirals and antibiotics during the rough virus season and urges doctors not to prescribe antibiotics for illnesses caused by viruses.

WASHINGTON — Starbucks may consider reversing its policy to let anyone, including non-customers, use their bathrooms, according to Starbucks interim CEO Howard Schultz.
Schultz, a longtime Starbucks leader who rejoined the company as interim CEO in April, was chairman when the open bathroom policy was first implemented in May 2018.
The policy was introduced after the controversial arrest of two Black men at one of the company's Philadelphia locations. The men had been asked to leave a store after one was denied access to the bathroom. They were arrested by police after sitting down to wait for a business meeting. Witnesses captured the incident on video and it went viral.
At the time the policy was announced, Schultz said he didn't want the company to "become a public bathroom" but they didn't want people to feel "less than" if they were refused access.
During an appearance Thursday at The New York Times DealBook D.C. policy forum, Schultz said a growing mental health crisis was making it hard for employees to manage stores.
“We serve 100 million people at Starbucks and there is an issue of just safety in our stores, in terms of people coming in who use our stores as a public bathroom," Schultz said. "And we have to provide a safe environment for our people and our customers. The mental health crisis in the country is severe, acute and getting worse.”
"We have to harden our stores and provide safety for our people," Schultz explained. “I don’t know if we can keep our bathrooms open."

Roy Herron, longtime Tennessee Democratic lawmaker, dies after injuries from jet ski accident
(AP) - Roy Herron, a longtime Tennessee state lawmaker and former chairperson of the state Democratic Party, died Sunday from injuries sustained in a jet ski accident. He was 69.
Herron died at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, according to a statement from his family. He had been hospitalized since a July 1 collision with another jet ski on Kentucky Lake, in which he suffered internal bleeding and extensive injuries to his arm and pelvis, according to his family’s Caring Bridge website.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was investigating the collision, the details of which were not immediately available.
“Roy loved his family with all his might,” Herron’s wife, Rev. Nancy Carol Miller-Herron, said. “He passed doing what he loved most — spending time with our sons and their friends in the Tennessee outdoors where his spirit was always most free.”
Herron, an attorney from Dresden, Tennessee, served a combined 26 years in the state’s House and Senate, where he became floor leader and caucus chair for the Democrats. He never missed a day of session, except for when his youngest son was born, according to his website. He chaired the state Democratic Party from 2013 to 2015.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin, Herron was also one of the first students to earn joint degrees in divinity and law from Vanderbilt University. An ordained Methodist minister, Herron also authored three books, including one titled, “God and Politics: How Can a Christian Be in Politics?”
Funeral services were planned for Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Martin.
Condolences poured in on Sunday. On Twitter, former Vice President Al Gore called his fellow Tennessee Democrat “a dear friend and one of Tennessee’s most devoted citizens.” Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen called Herron “bright, diligent, and honest. A politician destined for greatness.” Republican Rep. David Kustoff said Herron “dedicated his life to serving West Tennessee, and the entire Volunteer State.”
Tennessee House Republican Caucus Chairman Jeremy Faison said on Twitter he was “the kind of guy that you couldn’t help but like.”
Joe Hill, a longtime Tennessee Democratic political operative who worked with Herron on multiple campaigns, said he “brought a zeal for making health care more accessible to disadvantaged Tennesseans” when he was elected to the state House. Hill said he also brought that commitment to “education, victims’ rights, environmental quality and so many other things that affect average people.”
“His legacy of advocating for ‘the least among us’ will represent the gold standard of service for Democrats and Republicans in Tennessee’s future,” Hill told The Associated Press on Sunday.
That nature applied to Herron’s friendships as well, Hill said. He recalled how Herron drove 140 miles (225 kilometers) to be with him and his family in Memphis, after one of Hill’s children was involved in a car crash.
“We left home in such a hurry and didn’t bring extra clothes,” Hill said. “My wife, Susan, was freezing in the cold hospital waiting room, and Roy gave her his shirt so she could be warm. That’s the kind of genuine human being he was.”
In 2010, after briefly running for governor, Herron became the Democratic nominee in Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District, when then-Rep. John Tanner announced his retirement, after more than 20 years in the seat. Herron ultimately lost the general election to Republican Stephen Fincher.
“I was hoping when I retired, that he would win the seat,” Tanner told the AP on Sunday.
After a tornado devastated his hometown of Dresden just before Christmas in 2021, Herron marshaled a fundraising effort, amassing more than $100,000 to aid recovery efforts.
“It’s an overused term — that he was a dedicated public servant — but that really was Roy,” Tanner said. “He worked tirelessly for causes that he took up, and he had a good heart.”

LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lionel Messi, wearing a black Qatari robe over his blue-and-white Argentina shirt, kissed the World Cup, shuffled toward his teammates and hoisted the golden trophy high in the air.
It was an iconic sight that finally — definitively — places the soccer superstar in the pantheon of the game’s greatest players.
Messi’s once-in-a-generation career is complete: He is a World Cup champion.
In probably the wildest final in the tournament’s 92-year history, Argentina won its third World Cup title by beating France 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw featuring two goals from the 35-year-old Messi and a hat trick by his heir apparent, France forward Kylian Mbappé.
“It’s just crazy that it became a reality this way,” Messi said. “I craved for this so much. I knew God would bring this gift to me. I had the feeling that this (World Cup) was the one.”
Amid the chaos inside Lusail Stadium, Mbappé did all he could to emulate Brazil great Pelé as a champion at his first two World Cups. Even scoring the first hat trick in a final since Geoff Hurst for England in 1966.
It wasn’t enough.
Now there’s no debate. Messi joins Pelé — a record three-time World Cup champion — and Diego Maradona, the late Argentina great with whom Messi was so often compared, in an exclusive club of the best soccer players of all time.
Who is the greatest? It’s a discussion that will rage forever because there can never be a definitive answer. Messi has put up a good argument, though, and — with the World Cup title on his resume — he is surely above Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player of his generation.
Messi achieved what Maradona did in 1986 and dominated a World Cup for Argentina. He scored seven goals and embraced the responsibility of leading his team out of those dark moments after a shocking 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in the group stage.
Playing in the spirit of Maradona, Messi coupled his dazzling skills with rarely seen aggression and led Argentina to the title by becoming the first man in a single edition of the World Cup to score in the group stage and then in every round of the knockout stage.
The torch will one day pass to Mbappé, but not just yet.
“Let’s go, Argentina!” Messi roared into a microphone on the field in the post-match celebrations after playing in a record 26th World Cup match.
Later, he said: “I can’t wait to be in Argentina to witness the insanity of this.”
Messi had a tantalizing glimpse of the 18-carat gold World Cup trophy when walking on the stage to collect the Golden Ball, awarded to the player of the tournament. He even kissed the World Cup and rubbed it repeatedly.
He got his hands on it for good about 10 minutes later, after a ceremonial robe — a bisht — was draped over his shoulders by Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. And, oh, did he enjoy the moment, celebrating with his family and the teammates who put Argentina atop the soccer world for the first time since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. The country’s other title came in 1978 on home soil.
Messi was in scintillating form from the start of the final, putting Argentina ahead from the penalty spot after Angel Di Maria was tripped and later playing a part in a flowing team move that resulted in Di Maria making it 2-0 after 36 minutes.
Mbappé, on the other hand, was anonymous until bursting into life by scoring two goals in a 97-second span — one an 80th-minute penalty, the other a volley from just inside the area after a quick exchange of passes — to take the game to extra time at 2-2.
Messi still had plenty of energy and he was on hand to tap in his second goal in the 108th minute, with a France defender clearing the ball just after it had crossed the line. Argentina was on the brink of the title once again, but there was still time for another penalty from Mbappé, after a handball, to take the thrilling game to a shootout.
“We managed to come back from the dead,” said France coach Didier Deschamps, whose team was looking to become the first back-to-back champions since Brazil in 1962.
Mbappé and Messi took their teams’ first penalties and scored. Kingsley Coman had an attempt saved by Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez and Aurelien Tchouameni then missed for France, giving Gonzalo Montiel the opportunity to end it. He converted the penalty to the left and sparked wild celebrations.
“The match was completely insane,” said Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni, who was asked if he had a message for Maradona, who died two years ago.
“If he had been here, he would have enjoyed it so much,” Scaloni said. “He would have been the first person on the field (to celebrate). I wish he’d have been here to enjoy the moment.”
Europe’s run of four straight World Cup winners, dating to 2006, came to an end. The last South American champion was Brazil, and that was also in Asia — when Japan and South Korea hosted the tournament in 2002.
In Qatar, Argentina backed up its victory from last year’s Copa America, its first major trophy since 1993. It’s quite the climax to Messi’s international career, which is not over just yet. He said after the match that he would continue to play with the national team.
It was quite a final for a unique World Cup — the first to be played in the Arab world.
For FIFA and the Qatari organizers, a final between two major soccer nations and the world’s two best players represented a perfect way to cap a tournament laced in controversy ever since the scandal-shrouded vote in 2010 to give the event to a tiny Arab emirate.
The years-long scrutiny since has focused on the switch of dates from the traditional June-July period to November-December, strong criticism of how migrant workers have been treated, and then unease about taking soccer’s biggest event to a nation where homosexual acts are illegal.
On Sunday, there was one narrative at play for most people: Could Messi do it?
He could, despite the 23-year-old Mbappé doing all he could to deny his Paris Saint-Germain teammate. Finishing the tournament as the top scorer with eight goals is likely only a crumb of comfort.
Messi has been a man on a mission in the Middle East, determined to erase memories of his only other World Cup final — in 2014 when Argentina lost to Germany 1-0 and Messi squandered a great chance in the second half.
On that night at the Maracana Stadium, Messi stared down at that golden World Cup trophy that escaped him.
Eight years later, he raised it aloft in the biggest moment of a career like no other.

Notre Dame is finalizing a deal to make Penn State’s Micah Shrewsberry its new men’s basketball coach, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because contract details were still being completed and needed school approval.
Shrewsberry, in his second season at Penn State (23-14), led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011 and a tournament victory for the first time since 2001.
The Nittany Lions beat Texas A&M and were eliminated by Texas in the second round.
Notre Dame has been searching for a replacement for Mike Brey, who spent the last 23 season as coach of the Fighting Irish. He announced in January that this would be his last season with Notre Dame
The Irish finished 11-21.
Shrewsberry grew up in Indianapolis and went to school at Division III Hanover College in Indiana.
He was the head coach at Indiana University South Bend, an NAIA school located in the same city as Notre Dame, from 2005-07.
He later worked as an assistant coach at Butler and Purdue, with a stint as an assistant with the Boston Celtics in between.
ESPN first reported Notre Dame was close to a deal with Shrewsberry.

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Lawmakers are calling on the FBI to crack down on “swatters” who are terrifying school students and their families with fake active shooters on campus.
Swatting is a false call used to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to respond to an address. On Tuesday, more than 50 schools across New York state received swatting threats. Not only does the dangerous hoax cause worry, it wastes taxpayer money and resources.
Sen. Chuck Schumer has called on the FBI to track swatting incidents nationwide and hold accountable those responsible.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Protests in Iran raged on streets into Thursday with demonstrators remembering a bloody crackdown in the country's southeast, even as the nation's intelligence minister and army chief renewed threats against local dissent and the broader world.
The protests in Iran, sparked by the Sept. 16 death of a 22-year-old woman after her detention by the country's morality police, have grown into one of the largest sustained challenges to the nation's theocracy since the chaotic months after its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
At least 328 people have been killed and 14,825 others arrested in the unrest, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that's been monitoring the protests over their 54 days. Iran's government for weeks has remained silent on casualty figures while state media counterfactually claims security forces have killed no one.
As demonstrators now return to the streets to mark 40th-day remembrances for those slain earlier — commemorations common in Iran and the wider Middle East — the protests may turn into cyclical confrontations between an increasingly disillusioned public and security forces that turn to greater violence to suppress them.
Online videos emerging from Iran, despite government efforts to suppress the internet, appeared to show demonstrations in Tehran, the capital, as well as cities elsewhere in the country. Near Isfahan, video showed clouds of tear gas. Shouts of “Death to the Dictator” could be heard — a common chant in the protests targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It wasn't immediately clear if there were injuries or arrests in this round of protests, though Iran's state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged the demonstrations near Isfahan. They commemorated the Sept. 30 crackdown in Zahedan, a city in Iran's restive Sistan and Baluchestan province, in which activists say security forces killed nearly 100 people in the deadliest violence to strike amid the demonstrations.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have kept up their threats against the demonstrators and the wider world. In an interview with Khamenei's personal website, Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib renewed threats against Saudi Arabia, a nation along with Britain, Israel and the U.S. that officials have blamed for fomenting unrest that appears focused on local grievances.
Khatib warned that Iran's “strategic patience” could run out.
“Throwing stones at powerful Iran by countries sitting in glass houses has no meaning other than crossing the borders of rationality into the darkness of stupidity,” Khatib said. “Undoubtedly, if the will of the Islamic Republic of Iran is given to reciprocate and punish these countries, the glass palaces will collapse and these countries will not see stability.”
Iran blames Iran International, a London-based, Farsi-language satellite news channel once majority-owned by a Saudi national, for stirring up protesters. The broadcaster in recent days said the Metropolitan Police warned that two of its British-Iranian journalists faced threats from Iran that “represent an imminent, credible and significant risk to their lives and those of their families.”
Last week, U.S. officials said Saudi Arabia shared intelligence with America that suggests Iran could be preparing for an imminent attack on the kingdom. Iran later called the claim “baseless,” though the threats from Tehran continue.
The commander of the ground forces of Iran's regular army, Brig. Gen. Kiumars Heydari, separately issued his own threat against the protesters, whom he called “flies.”
“If these flies are not dealt with today as the revolutionary society expects, it is the will of the supreme leader of the revolution," he reportedly said. "But the day he issues an order to deal with them, they will definitely have no place in the country.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company™, today announced its market entry into Malaysia with plans to build a new International Business ExchangeTM (IBX®) data center located in Johor, called JH1. With an initial investment of approximately $40 million, JH1 is scheduled to begin operations in Q1 2024, providing 500 cabinets and 1,960 square meters of colocation space. The world-class IBX data center will support Malaysian companies and multinationals doing business in Malaysia with access to Platform Equinix® to bring together and interconnect the foundational digital infrastructure that powers their success.
Malaysia's digital economy is forecast to reach $34 billion in Gross Merchandise Value by 2025,1 with the country on course to achieve a digital economy contribution to Gross Domestic Product of at least 25.5% the same year.2 Equinix's expansion in Malaysia will unlock opportunities for Malaysian businesses expanding internationally and for multinational corporations pursuing growth and innovation in the Malaysian market. Malaysian companies will benefit from the ability to accelerate their evolution from traditional to digital businesses by rapidly scaling their infrastructure, easily adopting hybrid multicloud architectures and interconnecting with strategic business partners within the Platform Equinix ecosystem of more than 10,000 customers.
Equinix's expansion in Malaysia is in line with the MyDIGITAL initiative launched by the Malaysian Government, which aims to provide a blueprint for the country to accelerate growth of digital products and services. Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Chief Minister of Johor, said: "While the digital economy represents a catalyst for the Malaysian economy, data centers are integral in supporting digital ecosystems and their sustained growth. We welcome this investment by Equinix, along with the global expertise they bring to Johor, as well as the rich digital experiences and outcomes that will benefit this state and the country. We are looking forward to working together, in transforming Malaysia into a digitally driven, high-income nation at the forefront of this region's digital economy."
This expansion marks Equinix's second foray into ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) following the recently announced plans to expand into Indonesia, allowing the company to address digital infrastructure demand critical to the region's digital growth. Jeremy Deutsch, President, Asia-Pacific, Equinix, commented: "Establishing a presence in Johor strengthens Equinix's leadership position in Asia-Pacific within a strategic market such as Malaysia, one of the most requested markets in Asia-Pacific by our global customers. I would like to express our gratitude to the Digital Investment Office (DIO), Invest Johor, and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) for their assistance and support.

Companies and multinationals doing business in Malaysia will be able to access Platform Equinix to store and distribute large volumes of latency-sensitive data and applications closer to end users and local markets.
- Today, Malaysia is one of the top three colocation markets in ASEAN, with momentum driven by growing demand and investment from hyperscalers and cloud service providers, as well as national policies favorable for digital growth. According to Synergy Research, the Malaysia data center market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 10% during 2021–2026.3 This shows the need for increased digital services and data center services capacity in Malaysia.
- As indicated in the Global Interconnection Index (GXI) 2023, organizations are connecting to three times as many business ecosystem partners and metros, consuming more than twice the amount of interconnection bandwidth on average in the past five quarters than in the previous five years. Organizations need access to ecosystems comprising network companies, cloud and system integrator companies, and enterprise customers who can take advantage of a full platform service across a global footprint. The Johor data center will provide organizations with access to vibrant ecosystems made up of more than 2,100 networks and over 3,000 cloud, IT and system integrator services that Equinix works with globally.
- When opened, the new IBX data center in Johor will increase Equinix's total global footprint of more than 245 data centers across 71 metros and 32 countries, providing Equinix's 10,000+ customers more ways to securely deploy, directly connect and effectively scale their digital infrastructure in a rapidly growing economy. It is expected to also present opportunities for further expansion into new metros and market segments in Malaysia.
- In Asia-Pacific, Equinix currently has 51 data centers across 13 metros across Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea and Singapore. In addition, Equinix also announced expansions into Chennai in India, and Jakarta in Indonesia in 2022, strengthening its market leadership in the region.

In June 2021, I wrote an essay for this paper that began, “I have come to understand that I have a thing for John Stamos.” I had been watching him in the wonderful Disney+ series “Big Shot,” in which he plays Marvyn Korn, a temperamental college basketball coach who finds himself demoted — though, in a human sense, promoted — to coaching high school girls. And I realized that I had for some time been enjoying his work, which felt committed and natural and elevated whatever show he was on. You do not act for 40 years in Hollywood without having something special, without being good at what you do.
The piece came as a surprise, even a shock, to the subject, who sent a sweet note, imagining his parents’ reactions: “I would have loved to have seen the look on my dad’s face at 6 a.m. reading his Los Angeles Times front to back at our kitchen table, smoking a long thin More cigarette, as he read your story about his son. His chest would swell to about 60 inches, and he would say: ‘Well, the guy went a little overboard, but most of it is true’ (always kept me humble), and my mother would just cry.”
“Big Shot” returned for a second season Wednesday, quality still high, and it was nearly inevitable that the following interview would take place. We had exchanged some emails — Stamos sometimes performs with the Beach Boys, for whom my father once worked, and we had some mutual interests and acquaintances. And he allowed The Times to publish his funny, lovely eulogy for his longtime friend Bob Saget. But this was the first time we talked, over Zoom.
At one point, wife Caitlin McHugh came through the room before heading out to Disneyland with their 4-year-old son, Billy. Stamos, who grew up in Orange County near the park, is famously a Disney nut, and it naturally played a part in their courtship.
“We started going out, and one of the first big things we did was go to Disney World,” he recalled. “We were in Epcot, and I had a hat and glasses, walking around. I was like, ‘Nobody’s recognizing me. I’ve got to impress this girl with my fame.’ So I take my glasses off and try to make eye contact with people, like a weirdo. And she’s catching it a little bit. Then I take my hat off — I have famous hair. I’m, like, doing catchphrases. “Have mercy!” And she said, “What are you doing?” I said, “Oh, nothing.” She said, “You’re trying to get recognized aren’t you?” I said, “Noooo, why would I do that?” So now the term is “Epcot-ing,” if she ever catches me trying to get recognized.
Here is the rest of our conversation, edited for clarity and length.
With “Big Shot,” on Disney+, the “Full House” veteran has found the perfect part in a lovely show. Perhaps the Stamossance is already here.
Did you want kids a long time?
I did. I had to sober up, 7 1/2 years ago. I remember too, around that time, looking in a mirror and going, “Who have I turned into? I’m not the person my parents raised.” My mom had just died, [then] I got a DUI. And it plays tricks on you, this disease, and you go, “You’re fine.” And I remember also pretty clearly saying I didn’t care if I died. I didn’t want to die. But I was like, “I’ve done everything, what else am I going to do?” What a stupid thing that was to say; I hadn’t done it all, and I still have so much to do.
When you were in the midst of your low years, how did your parents deal with that?
Well, my dad was gone. And my mom and I became very, very close. I got a divorce [from Rebecca Romijn] pretty close to my dad dying, and we both had gigantic holes in our hearts and our souls. So it was, I think, a healthy codependent relationship. My dad was the only man she ever loved. She lived in Orange County, and I would go down almost every weekend and stay with her; she called it the Castle of Comfort. It got to a point where it might have been hampering me from meeting someone, ‘cause when I was lonely, I was depressed, I was upset, I’d just go down to my mother’s house, which is where I grew up, and be surrounded by that love which was always there, and all the old stuff. She kept everything down to my tonsils.
Had you always wanted to be an actor or was it a whim that suddenly turned into a career?
I wanted to be famous first. I didn’t think that people liked me. I was the gawky, weird — everybody says, “I was such a nerd,” but I really was. But when I looked back recently at my old yearbooks, people were really nice: “You’re going to make it,” “See you in Hollywood.” So I think I always had it on my radar. My parents said, “You want to do it, do it. Just work your ass off, be a good guy, be disciplined.”
What did you learn working in your father’s restaurants?
Watching my dad, the way he treated people, stuck with me. He treated the busboy the same way he treated his best customer. I think part of my longevity is just being nice to people, but not because, “Oh, I’ve got to be nice to this person.” I just like people. I like to ask questions. I try to learn everyone’s name on the set the first day or two. I’m truly interested. I ask everybody about their families, where they grew up, try to find some connection. And then discipline for sure. He was like, “If you’re five minutes early, you’re 10 minutes late.” My dad wanted me to go to college to learn business. He was grooming me to take over the hamburger joints; he had three, Duke’s, Yellow Basket and Burger Basket. Cypress College was right down the road, and I know it sounds stupid, but I was right on the edge of being truly coddled by my mother, and when I started to do things on my own I was a bit lost. I was going to sign up for college, but I couldn’t find the sign-up room. So I was like, “Oh, f— it.” And my dad was, “Next semester you have to go and that’s that.” And I was like, “I gotta get on TV.” And then I got “General Hospital.”
I wanted to be famous — getting back to that and my friend Mike Owen, we would go to Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm and he would run up to me and ask me for my autograph, and everybody was like, “Who’s that?” and I’d sign autographs. Later in life, I was like, “Oh, wait, this is a craft, I’d better learn, I’d better be good at it.” And I did fall in love with that part of it.
Stamos reflects on more than 35 years of friendship with his beloved ‘Full House’ co-star, who died Jan. 9 at 65.
I know you played in marching band in high school. Did you also play in a garage band?
For sure. My first band was called Destiny with two brothers who I’m still friends with today. And then I played in this band called Crosswinds, I think, in high school, and the bass player, she had a sister. After one rehearsal, I was about 17, we were rehearsing at her house down the street from my house. And the older sister was just this goddess. So rehearsal’s over — “Everybody go home. Not you,” she said. And that’s when I lost my virginity. It was like, “I like it.” At first, actually, to be honest, it was like, “This is what the whole world revolves around?” And I was very immature, I was very just naive and simple. [I saw her] a couple of weeks ago. I go, “How was that?” She said I was a gentleman.
What were the Tiger Beat teen idol days like for you?
It’s a machine — I want to do a show about it. It’s predators and prey and sort of a factory. There was a woman named Doreen Lioy [an editor at Tiger Beat], and even before I was on “General Hospital,” somehow I met her, and she later said, “I saw something in him that captivated me.” And she had no family and became very close to my mother and was at our house for holidays. And then I got on “General Hospital,” and she really took me under her wing. And we stayed friends. A few years later, she was hanging out in the courtroom watching the trial of Richard Ramirez [the serial killer known as the Night Stalker], and she marries him in jail and says in an article, “I saw something that captivated me.” My hand to God.
On “General Hospital” I had a two-year contract, 30 million people were watching, it became a gigantic thing. I wanted to leave at the end of my deal, and they kept throwing more money at me. [Producer] Gloria Monty, it was my 20th birthday, she said, “Let’s go celebrate your birthday, dear.” I knew it wasn’t about my birthday. So we go to La Famiglia and over there is Dean Martin, and he’s sitting there with this giant glass at a table set for two — it was his way of keeping people from coming around sitting with him. And Gloria said, “So why do you want to leave now?” I said, “Well, I want to be funny, I want to be on a sitcom, like ‘Happy Days.’” And she said, “You know, you’ll never work in this town again if you leave the show.” And I said, “I think I will. I probably will.” And I just had this picture of being in a Mafia Italian joint and all the waiters getting their guns out, and Gloria hits the floor, Dean hits the floor, and they just take me out.
Given your life trajectory, do you see yourself in any of the late-maturing characters you’ve played as an adult?
The type of guys I usually play, sometimes they don’t start out like that, but they kind of veer that way. I’m glad I’m out of that “Peter Pan” syndrome. There’s a lot of things about being an adult that suck. And I have the whole world saying, “You look so young!” But I was not achieving what I wanted, I didn’t have a family, I wasn’t settled. I think people had a perception of me that wasn’t me. I know it. I always wanted to be in a relationship. I always went to bed really early, so that saved me from trouble. I’d go on these shows — Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel —they’d be like, “Oh, man, you must have a million girls.” “Yeah, a million two.” And I’d go home alone. But it was an image that was out there and I thought, “I’d better play into this because what else do I have?” But I wasn’t that guy, and that kind of guy is not really in fashion now. It’s not cute anymore. It’s not cute on TV. It’s not cute in real life.
As a Disney superfan, did getting on a Disney+ show feel fulfilling?
I loved that I was part of the beginning of Disney+. If I weren’t there, I’d be like, “I want to get on Disney+.”
“Big Shot” was not getting picked up after last year. We were on episode eight or nine out of 10, and I remember saying, “Let’s just pick the show up now, we’ll take a month off, write new scripts, ‘cause the girls are going to get old.” They’re like, “Let it air first.” It comes out, it does whatever. I said, “Will you pick it up now?” “Well, let’s see a few more shows.” Weeks go by and weeks go by; all 10 come out. So I start calling around. It’s like, “Well, it didn’t do well in India, because they don’t play basketball” — all these analytics and graphs and charts. They know when you turn it on, when you turn it off, when you take a pee, how long the pee was, did you come back after the pee. Once there were the Brandon Tartikoffs [television executive], and these guys who would pick stuff up from their heart. And so I was waiting for that: “Where’s Disney? You guys are about heart.”
I said to myself, “John, take the hit, it’s not coming back.” And then in one of the corniest moments of my life, I go, “Wait a minute — what would Coach Korn do here? Can I look in the mirror and say I did everything I could to get this show picked up?” And Peter Rice [then-chairman of Walt Disney Television] lives down the street from me, so I emailed him, “Do you want to take a walk around the neighborhood?” And I poured my heart out about what the show meant to me. Plus, here’s a show with a 98% diverse female cast. In its DNA it’s about female empowerment. We need these kind of shows. That was on a Thursday; Friday I get this call from the studio, and I didn’t answer because I knew it was going to be bad. And they called [co-creators] David Kelley and Dean Lorey and said, “Sorry, it’s done. We tried.” And then an hour later they called back and said, “Hold on. Apparently John Stamos took a walk with Peter Rice? And Peter told us to try to find the money for it.”
The show is half an hour this year, instead of an hour, but it does feel more focused.
It was getting too light. I was like, “Let’s get back to the stuff with [Korn’s] daughter” — Sophia [Mitri Schloss] is one of the best actresses I’ve ever worked with. Let’s get edgier, let’s get deeper, ‘cause this is the show I signed up to do. When Bob died, one of the things that broke my heart the most was that there was a tsunami of love for him, but he didn’t see it. I know he didn’t realize how loved he was. He was very insecure. He wasn’t where he wanted to be in his career. So I said, “What if one of Korn’s friends turned out to be [his old coach], who starts worrying about his legacy, what he’ll leave behind?” It really feels good to have ideas and see them come to fruition; I’ll do notes on something, and they turn out to be pretty good. Jack Klugman used to make me, on our sitcom [“You Again?” from 1986], they would have punch-up night — it was Garry Marshall, Jerry Belson, Harvey Miller, a lot of guys from “The Odd Couple” — he’d say, “Sit in the corner, don’t say a word, just listen.” And I’d watch the structure of jokes and story, and it always stayed with me.
On “General Hospital,” they’d say “Go home, John,” and call me “The Sponge,” but I wanted to soak it all up. I was always the youngest guy on the set, and I gravitated toward Jack Klugman, Garry Marshall, Don Rickles, who was my guy for so many years. And now I’m that guy, and I wear that with honor, to honor the good influences that I had. I’m pretty close to all the girls. We text, we talk, we call. They’re all good kids, there’s no prima donnas. I just implore them to listen and learn. It doesn’t have to be from me, but just keep your eyes open. I remember last season they were supposed to work ‘til 6 or something; they got off at 3. “Oh you got off early?” “Yeah!” “Where do you have to be better than this? What are you so excited about, being done? Your whole life you wanted to be an actress, and here you are working on a big show. What’s better than this?”

Dahianara Lopez and her husband Paulo Echeverry run a food truck outside of Orlando. "We work together every day," she says while cooking up Colombian sausages on the truck's big stainless steel grill.
They say by putting in long hours over several years they were able to save up a down payment for a house.
"We think that renting is like we are wasting money, you know?" says Lopez. "So we want to to buy a house, to have something that that we can say is mine."
Late last year, they signed a contract to buy a new home before it was built for about $500,000 and put down a $25,000 deposit.
But since then mortgage rates have seen their biggest increase in 40 years, from 3% to around 7%. A big catalyst for this increase can be traced to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to combat inflation.
Pandemic delays have resulted in many new homes taking a year or longer to get built. So now it's much harder for thousands of people like Echeverry and Lopez to be able to afford the new homes they agreed to buy. In their case, the higher rates would add about $1,100 a month to their mortgage payment.
The couple has been very scared that they won't qualify for a mortgage anymore and will lose that big deposit.
"The sales guy, he always tells us we're going to lose the deposit if we don't buy the house," Echeverry said when the couple first spoke to NPR. "Even the area sales manager... she told me, too, that we're going to lose our money."
Some people have already lost their money. Karen Jensen works as a school nurse at an elementary school in Tigard, Ore. She and her husband wanted a bigger house for them and their three kids.
"We put just a little over $15,000 down as a deposit," she says.
But after interest rates jumped so much higher they decided to back out of buying it, and she says the builder kept their deposit. At first she felt sad but okay about that. They signed the contract and put the money down after all.
But then she saw the company put the house back up for sale for $90,000 more than she would have paid for it. Prices in the area had risen while it was getting built. And she says it quickly went under agreement and is listed as sold on the builders website.
"It felt really gross to see that," Jensen says. "So not only do you got our earnest money, our 15 grand, plus they will get more money at the end of the day in general."
Homebuilders do not seem eager to talk about buyers losing their deposit money. The National Association of Home Builders declined an interview and the Florida Home Builders Association didn't respond to requests for comment.
"Most builders are going to be very cautious about just blanket giving a deposit back out of the goodness of their hearts," says Paul Schwinghammer, the president of the Indiana Builders Association.
He says it's important to realize that right now this massive increase in mortgage rates has buyers and builders both scrambling. That's because so many buyers are getting cold feet. One industry survey found that buyer cancellation rates nationally in October were three times higher than normal.
So Schwinghammer says builders need to try to make buyers follow through on purchase contracts they signed since it's a big risk to get stuck with a lot of unsold homes, especially for a smaller builder.
"If there becomes this word on the street that Bob the builder is giving everybody their money back, Bob's gonna be out of business pretty quick."
But he thinks builders should make an exception in cases like Karen Jensen's where the builder can sell the house to someone else for a lot more money. "If the builder profited from re-selling that house... he at least ought to give the deposit back to that customer," says Schwinghammer. "That's just an ethical decision on my part."
Some builders are making exceptions, too, for people who can't even qualify for a mortgage anymore with these higher interest rates.
Jody Kahn with the John Burns Real Estate Consulting Group surveyed about 100 builders about how they were handling the earnest money deposits that buyers are required to make. She says for customers who can no longer qualify for a loan "the majority of the builders are willing to give a refund." But not all builders.
"There were some builders who say they're just keeping the deposit," Kahn says. "Their contract allows for it... some are saying we'll just keep it."
Buyers often don't have a lot of recourse.
"Everything in these agreements is drafted in favor of the developer," says Craig Rothburd, an attorney in Florida who specializes in consumer protection cases. He says the buyers sign a contract which states they can lose their deposit.
He says, though, it never hurts to ask a builder for your deposit back, especially if losing the deposit would be a real financial hardship, "Whether the developer has a heart is kind of what it comes down to."
Karen Jensen in Oregon has asked the builder for her deposit back but hasn't received an answer yet. The company said in a statement to NPR that it wouldn't talk about any particular case but said there were costs associated with selling a house to a different buyer and that, "any apparent windfall is not what it may appear to be."
Back in Orlando, Paulo Echeverry and Dahianara Lopez have been worried about losing their $25,000 deposit.
"To buy a house... it was our dream," said Lopez. "But it's completely a nightmare."
But after NPR contacted the homebuilder, a large public company named Dream Finders Homes, it said the couple would not lose their deposit.
The company declined an interview but said in a statement that if a buyer defaults on a contract to buy a home, "we have a general policy that... we will credit them one hundred percent of that deposit towards a future DFH home."
And the couple tells NPR the company is now offering to spend about $10,000 to buy down their interest rate. Some builders are doing this since a lower rate helps people to be able to purchase the homes.
"That's pretty good!" Echeverry said with obvious relief. "The company wants to work with us to close our house."
He says that's going to bring their interest rate down from around 7% to just a bit below 6%. Lopez says that will still be a stretch, and a higher rate than they were expecting when they agreed to buy it. "But I feel excited also to get the house."

Wolfgang Petersen, the German-born director who first wowed Hollywood with his World War II submarine epic "Das Boot," has died at the age of 81. His assistant told the press on Tuesday that Petersen passed away at his home in California, surrounded by his family, after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Born in the northwestern German town of Emden in 1941, Petersen moved with his family to Hamburg in 1950 where he studied theater. After moving to Berlin as a young man, Petersen got his first stint in the director's chair by helming episodes of the long-running German crime series Tatort.
After directing several films in Germany, Petersen garnered international acclaim in 1982 with Das Boot,a anti-war tale of sailors in a German submarine during the Battle of the Atlantic. The film received multiple Academy Award nominations, with Petersen himself being nominated for his directing and his screenplay.

Overwhelming success: 'Das Boot'
Wolfgang Petersen's war epic "Das Boot" was a spectacular movie success in the 1980s — first in Germany, and then in the US. Moviegoers got a strong adrenaline rush through this claustrophobic German submarine mission set in 1941 in the Atlantic Ocean. The film was nominated for six Oscars.

Germany's most popular crime TV series
Among Wolfgang Petersen's work for the cult German crime series "Tatort," one episode from 1977 was so popular that it was later released in theaters as "For Your Love Only." It not only boosted his career; it was also a springboard for the then 16-year-old actress Nastassja Kinski, who played a student having an affair with her professor. The film still regularly airs on German television.

Breaking taboos on homosexuality
Petersen's next film, "The Consequence" (1977) had many detractors in Germany. It described a gay couple's relationship — a taboo topic back then. Scenes were cut out in the TV version and the Bavarian local TV broadcaster refused to show the film at all — but it nevertheless made its way to movie screens, and received different awards.

He followed up "Das Boot" with an English-language adaption of the German young adult novel "The NeverEnding Story," which was a box office success and widely beloved by its young audience.
Petersen moved permanently to the United States with his wife Maria in 1987, and embarked on numerous successful action movies featuring many of Hollywood's leading stars, including "Outbreak" with Dustin Hoffmann, "Air Force One" with Harrison Ford and "The Perfect Storm" with George Clooney.

Which wrist blood pressure monitor is best?
If you have hypertension, a heart condition or other health issues, it can be essential to monitor your blood pressure. A wrist blood pressure monitor isn’t quite as accurate as a bicep model like those used in your doctor’s office, but it can record your blood pressure reliably and is usually much easier for home use.
Wrist blood pressure monitors run on batteries and take automatic readings, which helps reduce user error. The Paramed Blood Pressure Monitor is a favorite because it’s highly durable and one of the easiest home blood pressure monitors to use.
What to know before you buy a wrist blood pressure monitor
What is high blood pressure?
A blood pressure reading includes a systolic pressure reading and a diastolic pressure reading. The systolic reading is the first number, while the diastolic reading is the second number that appears on the monitor. A normal reading is usually 120/80 or lower. Doctors typically consider a systolic reading of 130 to 139 and a diastolic reading between 80 and 89 as prehypertension. Higher numbers indicate hypertension or high blood pressure.
Risk factors that can make you susceptible to high blood pressure include smoking, heavy drinking, stress, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity and being over 60 years old. You’re also more likely to have hypertension if you eat a high sodium diet or have other health conditions such as diabetes, kidney problems or heart disease. Finally, some medications can raise your blood pressure.
Even if you lead a healthy lifestyle, having a family history of hypertension can also put you at risk because genetics can play a significant part in developing high blood pressure.
Accuracy
Blood pressure monitors that measure at your upper arm or bicep are generally more accurate than those that wrap around your wrist. A wrist blood pressure monitor is usually more comfortable to use, though, and can be much easier to travel with due to their compact design. In addition, they often have a digital display that’s easy to read and use, too.
You can ensure wrist blood pressure monitor accuracy and fairly reliable readings if you use it correctly. Proper positioning on your wrist is essentia, and you need to keep your batteries fresh.
Cuff size
Wrist blood pressure monitors usually have an adjustable cuff that can fit a wide range of wrist sizes. However, if you have an extremely small or large wrist, check the cuff’s measurements to make sure it fits properly. A cuff that doesn’t fit correctly can lead to inaccurate readings.
What to look for in a quality wrist blood pressure monitor
Interface and design
A wrist blood pressure monitor with a simple, clear interface and button controls is usually easiest to use. Opt for a large display screen with easy-to-read numbers that allows you to check your blood pressure quickly and efficiently. It also helps to choose a monitor that clearly indicates if your blood pressure is out of the normal range with some type of alert.
Memory function
If you’re looking to track your blood pressure over time, choose a monitor with a memory feature. It can store your readings, so you’re able to see if your blood pressure has increased or decreased. Consult its product specifications to determine how many readings it can store and opt for a wrist monitor that can remember at least 60.
Multiple users
Some wrist blood pressure monitors allow you to create multiple user profiles to store blood pressure readings for other household members as well as you. Most can support at least two user profiles. If you plan to use your monitor for multiple people, make sure that the cuff is adjustable to fit various wrist sizes.
Case
If you travel regularly, choose a wrist blood pressure monitor that comes with a carrying case. It can protect your monitor during travel, and can also keep it from getting wet or dusty in storage.
How much you can expect to spend on a wrist blood pressure monitor
Most quality wrist blood pressure monitors cost $35-$50. Those that cost less than $35 usually don’t offer much accuracy, but paying more than $50 for a unit doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the most accurate readings, either.
Wrist blood pressure FAQ
How do I use a wrist blood pressure monitor?
A. Start by reading the instructions that come with your monitor to know how your model works. In general, you should be seated in a chair with your feet on the ground when taking a reading. For the most accurate reading, raise the wrist with the monitor to bring it to heart level.
How can I lower my blood pressure?
A. Most doctors recommend starting with lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet, managing your stress and exercising regularly are all considered good starting points. In particular, try to cut the sodium in your diet.
If you have a family history of hypertension, though, lifestyle changes alone may not be enough to bring your blood pressure down. In that case, your doctor may suggest medication to help get your pressure under control.

Richland Two unveils school bus tracker ahead of incoming school year
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The fifth-largest school district in South Carolina is encouraging parents, guardians, and students to download a bus tracker ahead of the 2023-2024 school year.
Richland County School District Two (R2) says they’re piloting a new app that will give users the ability to track school buses in real time.
Made possible by the South Carolina Department of Education, Traversa Ride 360 is now available to be downloaded online and on the Apple App Store.
“Every district will have the opportunity to use this app. I can’t say that they will. But the routing software, every school district in the state will use this,” said Robert White, Director of Transportation for R2.
White tells WIS that Traversa routing software was purchased by the state approximately two years ago. This, to act as a comprehensive student transport program with the help of their Ride 360 app.
White goes on to say that Richland Two was one of the first school districts in South Carolina to implement the Traversa software which was completed in 2022.
After months of field testing this summer, R2 felt it was time to unveil the program and give families the ability to track their school buses.
“Again, this is a pilot for us this year. I do expect some kinks with some new things, but I feel pretty confident that it’s going to help us in the long run,” continued White.
In order to access the GPS-driven data, you have to download the Ride 360 app and sign up as a subscriber at no cost to you or the district.
After registering parents will have to input the student’s legal last name and district ID to access their bus information.
“Each student that is registered to ride a school bus, based off of their student ID number, they will get routed on a bus. That bus has a GPS tracking system which we assign that bus to... It’s almost exactly like an Uber. You can exactly see, “Hey my Uber’s going to be here in 10 minutes.” It’s almost the exact same thing,” said White.
On top of Ride 360, a district spokesperson is encouraging those who haven’t already, to download the Parent Square app.
Parent Square is Richland Two’s unified communication platform which will now include notifications on whether or not a bus is running late.
The district’s 2023-2024 school year begins August 8.

Twin Peaks Shooting: A look back at the event 8 years later
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Eight years ago today, the Sunday afternoon calm surrounding the Central Texas Marketplace was shattered by the rumblings of hundreds of motorcycles converging on the former Twin Peaks restaurant, followed by the harrowing sounds of a battle zone as rival biker clubs squared off in Waco.
The melee, caught on cameras set up before the event by Waco law enforcement agencies, left nine bikers dead, 20 injured and busloads arrested on identical engaging in organized criminal activity charges. Waco police snipers killed four of the bikers as they fought with rivals during the brief encounter.
Of the 192 arrested, 155 were indicted. Those cases, which swamped the court dockets of the county’s two felony courts, resulted in only one biker going to trial, Dallas Bandido chapter president Jake Carrizal. The trial, which focused more on the state trying to portray the Bandidos as a criminal street gang than on Carrizal’s involvement in the biker brawl, ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
The remaining cases eventually were dismissed by former McLennan County district attorneys Abel Reyna and Barry Johnson, leaving no one held accountable for the multiple deaths and injuries.
Eight years later, the former Twin Peaks building remains shuddered after two other restaurants failed in their efforts to make the location work.
And eight years later, about 90 bikers who filed civil rights lawsuits are still waiting to see if their false arrest claims can move forward in court. At least four of the bikers have died while their cases have been pending.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in April 2022 reinstated the lawsuits – at least temporarily – of about 90 bikers arrested in the shootout after their cases were dismissed in 2021 by U.S. District Judge Alan Albright.
The three-judge panel reversed Albright’s previous ruling that a grand jury’s indictment of the 90 bikers “served to break the chain of causation” for their false arrest claims and sent the cases back to Albright for further consideration.
The 5th Circuit panel’s opinion put the civil lawsuits of about 90 bikers back in play and instructed Albright to determine if each defendant has alleged adequate claims that they were falsely arrested after the shootout.
While parties in the lawsuit took the deposition of McLennan County Assistant District Attorney Mark Parker last week and have deposed three bikers whose suits are pending, they await Albright’s response to the 5th Circuit’s orders.
Parker, who helped draft an early version of the arrest warrant affidavits, declined comment Tuesday on his deposition.
Attorneys for the bikers challenged the validity of the arrest warrant affidavits, claiming the bikers arrested were charged in identical, “cookie-cutter” documents with engaging in organized criminal activity that did not take each biker’s actions or individual culpabilities into account. The bikers all were jailed under $1 million bonds, including some bikers who were just getting off their bikes when the brawl started and some who hadn’t even pulled into the parking lot.
The bikers who were not indicted but were arrested after Twin Peaks - Bradley Terwiliger, Ben Matcek and Jimmy Dan Smith – have been deposed in the lawsuit. The three are members of an independent club called the Line Riders. Matcek was arrested despite his claims that he arrived in Waco after the shootout. He has said he eventually was allowed on the property to assist a wounded biker, who eventually was taken to the hospital.
The bikers’ lawsuits claim they were falsely arrested without probable cause and that the grand jury could not have reviewed a thorough presentation of the facts of the shootout because they allege it took an average of mere minutes to approve an indictment in each of the 155 cases. They also allege the grand jury was not shown video footage of the clash between the Bandidos and the Cossacks and their support groups that could have cleared many of wrongdoing.
Dallas attorney Don Tittle, who represents the majority of bikers, declined comment Tuesday on the anniversary while the issues before Albright remain pending.
Reyna, the former district attorney who orchestrated the mass arrests of the bikers, remains a defendant in the lawsuits and also declined comment.
The initial lawsuits named the city of Waco; McLennan County; former Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman, Assistant Police Chief Robert Lanning, Waco police officers Manuel Chavez, Jeff Rogers and Patrick Swanton; former DA Reyna; and Department of Public Safety agents Steven Schwartz and Christopher Frost as defendants.
Previous pretrial rulings have dismissed all defendants except the city of Waco, Chavez, Rogers, Frost, Schwartz and Reyna.

TOKYO — Japan has made a significant policy change to allow it to get the ability to strike other nations, a move widely seen as a major step toward rearming the nation more than seven decades since it demilitarized after World War II.
As Japan's relations with China worsen and the threat it perceives from its much larger neighbor heightens, the Japanese government gave a green light Friday to proposals it has been debating sporadically since at least 1956.
Japan had avoided obtaining strike capabilities, so as not to violate Japan's post-war constitution, which renounces the right — and the means — to wage war, and to avoid provoking its neighbors.
At a press conference after the documents' release, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida argued that Japan must keep pace with other nations' advances in missile technology.
"In such a severe environment," he said, "counterstrike capability, which can deter an attack, or force an enemy to stop one, is a capability which will become increasingly vital."
The move follows years of efforts by the United States to persuade Japan to assume more responsibility for its own defense, particularly as a bulwark against China's rising military might and threats against Taiwan.
In a statement, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan called the shift "a bold and historic step to strengthen and defend the free and open Indo-Pacific."
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin, meanwhile, accused Tokyo of "hyping up the 'China threat' to find an excuse for its military buildup."
The policy is outlined in revisions to three national security strategy documents. The document also calls for boosting defense spending to roughly 2% of gross domestic product by 2027, after decades of being capped at 1%.
The money would go to import missiles from the United States, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles, capable of reaching North Korea and parts of China. Japan also plans to develop its own weapons, including advanced fighter jets, hypersonic missiles and armed drones. Japanese media have reported on some of the purchase plans, citing the nation's defense ministry. Japanese politicians are debating where the money to fund the increase will come from.
It's the biggest shift in Japan's defense policy since its cabinet reinterpreted the constitution in 2014 to allow the military to fight in support of an ally under attack.
Japan's ruling party has long wanted to amend the constitution to remove restrictions on its military, but it has been unable to muster enough public support.
The government insists that Japan's defense policies will remain strictly defensive, and the country will neither threaten other nations, nor carry out preemptive strikes, in violation of international law.
Perceived foreign threats are driving the shift
While the shift has been encouraged for years by Japan's principal ally, the United States, perceived threats are what primarily appear to be driving the policy change. The security documents name China, its military buildup and tensions with Taiwan, as primary threats.
North Korea's expanding nuclear and missile arsenal and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are also mentioned.
Polls indicate a majority of Japanese now agree that the country needs to have a strike capability.
Former defense official Kyoji Yanagisawa is one of the few dissenting voices. He believes the missiles will not deter potential adversaries, and Japan would be better off investing in diplomacy to avoid war.
"To have a deterrent, we should have the capability to almost completely neutralize the enemy's missiles, but we don't have that," he argues. "Not only do we lack a deterrent, we will also prompt a counterattack" from an enemy.
The legal details are murky
Since Japan has increasingly indicated it will come to Taiwan's aid and work with the U.S., should China launch an invasion of Taiwan, it's possible that military bases on Japanese territories will be hit.
Official discussions suggest that Japan could launch a missile counterattack after being hit, or strike enemy bases or command facilities as missiles are about to be launched at Japan.
But striking enemies who you think are about to attack you could be legally murky.
"We only know whether an attack is pre-emptive or not," and legal or not, "after it is carried out," argues Yasuo Hasebe, a constitutional law expert at Waseda University in Tokyo. Japan's government, though, he adds, may be able to successfully argue that simply possessing the weapons as a deterrent without using them is in line with the constitution.
However, Hasebe adds, "The government is insisting it is constitutional. So it's difficult to debate this point."
Japan's government has not explained how the shift would square with the constitution, and so far there have been few challenges from civil society, media, courts or opposition parties.
What this means for Washington
Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., said that Japan is about to spend a lot of money to acquire capabilities that the U.S. already brings to the U.S.-Japan alliance.
One reason for this overlap, he said, is concern about the return of former President Donald Trump, who downplayed the value of America's traditional alliances, or someone like him.
"I think there are many in Tokyo who say, 'Look, we can't be 100% confident about where the United States is going to be in terms of the alliance five, 10, 15 years down the road,'" he said.
One lesson observers say Japan has taken from Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion is that the more a nation takes the initiative to defend itself, the more it motivates allies to come to its aid.

Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday reiterated his long-standing promise that New Jersey will conduct a review of the state’s response to COVID-19, including how it handled the crisis in long-term care facilities — yet he said he still does not have a timeframe for when that will happen.
“I don’t have a date for you, but we’re committed to it,” Murphy told reporters after an unrelated event in Passaic City.
His comments come 2 1/2 years into the pandemic and after the state agreed last week to pay a second round of settlements totaling $15.9 million to 71 families of residents who died in New Jersey’s three state-run veterans homes in the early days of the coronavirus’ spread.
An earlier agreement in December to resolve wrongful death claims paid out nearly $53 million to the families of 119 residents who died from COVID-19 in the veterans homes between March and May of 2020.
The state admitted no wrongdoing as part of either settlement agreement.
At the same time, employees at the veterans home at Menlo Park have filed lawsuits alleging the state, the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the governor’s office, and administrators of the nursing home put them in harms way as the virus struck. The complaints accuse the state of being “grossly negligent, knowingly careless, and reckless.”
Murphy was asked Monday about the state’s response to the settlements and lawsuits.
“Not a lot to say, other than God bless our veterans and the lives of those that were lost and the families,” the governor said. “Hopefully the settlement that was announced on Friday — which is the second of its kind — in some small way allows the families to move on as compared to something that would have been drawn out. These things settle for different reasons … unique to each situation.”
Asked if that means there won’t be a post-mortem on the state’s response to the pandemic, Murphy said: “There absolutely will be a post-mortem.”
The governor noted the state “hired a firm to do a no-holds barred assessment of long-term care procedures, policies, laws as a general matter.”
In 2020, the Murphy administration hired healthcare consultant Manatt Health to investigate how New Jersey nursing homes responded to the pandemic as the death toll spiraled out of control. New Jersey was forced to seek emergency assistance from the Veterans Administration and the National Guard — moves that were criticized as being too little and too late.
The consultants concluded that long-term care facilities overall were underprepared and under-staffed to deal with the pandemic, and called for tougher state scrutiny. But the study did not scrutinize the state’s performance.
“A lot of things have come out of that,” Murphy said Monday. “Laws that I’ve signed, executive orders, changes in practices and policies. “None of that is in lieu of what will be a complete post-mortem, not just for veterans homes or long-term care but for the entirety of the pandemic.”
“Unfortunately, we still have just under 1,000 people still in the hospital as I sit here today,” he added. “It is clearly something we’re living with, but we’re also clearly not out of the woods.”
Murphy first promised a post-mortem on the state’s handling of COVID-19 in April 2020, when New Jersey was still dealing with the initial spread of the virus.
“We’re going to do our own post-mortem in terms of where were we prepared, where were we not prepared?” he said during one of his then-daily coronavirus briefings in Trenton. “I don’t know how that’s going to take shape, but I promise you that we can do that.”
The Democratic governor has faced repeated criticism from Republicans over how the state responded to the crisis in long-term care facilities. Notably, one Democratic lawmaker, state Sen. Nia Gill of Essex County has publicly called for a bipartisan committee to investigate.
New Jersey, a state of 9.2 million residents, has reported more than 34,000 COVID-19 deaths since the state reported its first case in March 2020. More than 9,500 of those deaths have been among residents and staff members at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, according to state data.
The state on Monday reported another 604 confirmed COVID-19 cases and three deaths as its seven-day average for confirmed positive tests fell to 1,774 — a 17% drop from a week ago and a 39% drop from a month ago. Murphy and other officials have repeatedly said the pandemic is not over, but residents should protect themselves by getting vaccinated and learn how to live with the virus.

Stage set for Ecuadorian president or lawmakers to be booted out of office
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — A showdown between Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso and the opposition-led National Assembly could result in either side being booted from office this week as lawmakers seek to try him for embezzlement and he mulls exercising his constitutional power to dissolve the legislature.
Lawmakers will continue impeachment proceedings against the right-leaning politician Tuesday during a session of the unicameral assembly that Lasso is expected to attend.
Political tensions have risen in Ecuador since Lasso, a former banker, was elected in 2021 and clashed from the start with a strong opposition in the Assembly. At the same time, the South American country has experienced an increase in drug-related violence, including several massacres in prisons over the past two years.
Whatever happens this week, the country’s overall instability will certainly deepen.
“The removal of the president, being an institutional earthquake in any democracy, will be an event that it will shake the country’s political scene,” said Laura Lizarazo, senior analyst covering Ecuador and Colombia for the global firm Control Risks.
This is the second time the opposition tries to impeach Lasso, but last year it didn’t get enough votes.
Tuesday’s session could extend into Wednesday as it will feature hours of arguments from Lasso’s accusers and defense and 10-minute remarks from any of the 137 legislators who wish to speak on the politically charged case.
The opposition is widely expected to reach the 92 votes necessary to remove Lasso following the debate, but it remains unclear exactly when within the next five days the Assembly’s leadership will schedule the vote on the measure, although lawmakers have signaled it could happen Saturday. Also unknown is whether Lasso will choose to dissolve the legislature to keep his job and govern by decree until presidential and legislative elections are scheduled.
Lawmakers are accusing Lasso of not having intervened to end a contract between the state-owned oil transport company Flota Petrolera Ecuatoriana and the private entity Amazonas Tankers. The accusers argue that Lasso knew the contract was full of irregularities and cost the state millions in losses.
But lawmakers have not offered any proof so far. Lasso, who has denied the allegations, told foreign press in April that he would not hesitate to dissolve the Assembly if his removal were imminent.
“We anticipate that the progressive deterioration in terms of security that Ecuador has experienced in the last year will persist, as well as the high levels of dissatisfaction among the population who feel that democratic institutions, both the Assembly as well as the Executive, are totally disconnected from their most urgent needs, which have to do with unemployment, violence, totally unprecedented levels of extortion by organized crime, and petty crime,” Lizarazo said.
Impeachment proceedings run separate from criminal investigations. Ecuador’s Prosecutor’s Office has opened a preliminary investigation, but Lasso has not been criminally charged.
Constitutional attorney Andre Benavides said the accusations against Lasso do not fit an embezzlement case because neither the damage to the state nor the alleged personal benefit of the president has been established.
“In this case, there is no money trace, it does not exist,” Benavides said.
The Organization of American States on Monday urged legislators to “offer all the guarantees of justice and respect the rules of due process” during this week’s proceedings.

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah signed a bill Saturday that blocks minors from receiving gender-transition health care, the first such measure in the country this year in what is expected to be a wave of legislation by state lawmakers to restrict transgender rights.
The law prohibits transgender youth in the state from receiving gender-affirming surgery and places an indefinite ban on hormone therapy, with limited exceptions.
Cox, a Republican, said in a statement that banning these treatments was necessary until more research could be done on their long-term effects.
“While we understand our words will be of little comfort to those who disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat our transgender families with more love and respect as we work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures,” the governor said.
Leading medical groups, including the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, have rejected claims that gender-affirming care is harmful to transgender children or adults.
A small group of medical professionals has raised concerns that puberty blockers, one form of this care, might have long-term effects on bone density.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah said the state’s new law violated due process and equal protection rights guaranteed by the Constitution. “In this case, legislators and the governor claim to have concern for Utah’s youth but ignore the medical professionals who care for them, the parents who love them and the young people themselves,” Aaron Welcher, a spokesperson, said.
Cox was one of two Republican governors last year to veto a bill that would have barred transgender students from participating in girls’ sports. At the time, he cited the high rates of suicide among transgender youth and acknowledged the concerns of transgender advocates that the bill would adversely affect the mental health of transgender children.
After that measure had been passed by the Legislature, Cox addressed the transgender community in a news conference, saying: “We care about you. We love you. It’s going to be OK.”
The Utah Legislature later overrode the governor’s veto.
On Saturday, Cox praised the recent bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Michael Kennedy, a Republican and family practice physician, who said in a meeting last week of the Utah House Health and Human Services Committee that allowing such treatments represented “a radical and dangerous push for children to enter this version of health care.”
Utah joined four states — Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona and Tennessee — that have enacted laws restricting transgender youths’ access to gender-transition care. Federal judges in Arkansas and Alabama have temporarily blocked enforcement of those measures pending the outcome of lawsuits.
In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott established similar restrictions last year without the help of the state’s Legislature, instructing the state’s health agencies to classify gender-affirming health care as “child abuse” and authorizing investigations of families seeking that treatment. The state Supreme Court temporarily blocked the governor and attorney general from ordering investigations, but the injunction applied only to the families who had sued and did not block the law’s enforcement entirely.
This year, Republican lawmakers have proposed more than 150 bills in at least 25 states restricting the rights of transgender people.
More than a dozen bills focus on blocking transgender youth from receiving surgical or hormonal treatment for gender dysphoria — a distress over the mismatch of their birth sex and gender identity.
Lawmakers in Oklahoma and South Carolina have proposed criminalizing all gender-affirming health care for transgender people younger than 26. Bills in Kansas and Mississippi would ban such care up to age 21.

With so much going on around the country right now, political commentator Bakari Sellers called into the Rickey Smiley Morning Show to break down everything going on in Florida, specifically with Governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s rejection of AP African American studies.
Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. (Terms and conditions).
He shares his opinion on if this would help the Florida Governor’s chances at a 2024 presidential run, why the focus on only African American studies, as well as the latest happenings behind the classified documents being found at President Joe Biden’s home.

When asked specifically to elaborate on the new law and what’s the real motive behind it, Bakari explain:
“So, it’s silly. I mean it’s ignorant and for me, the difficulty is I always have to explain my blackness to people and it gets so frustrating. I mean, what I mean by that is there are only 6 topics out of 100. Is that Florida Department of Education objects to? Only six out of 100, so that has to be clear. Those six they object to are intersectionality of black queer studies, Black Lives Matter, black feminist thought reparations and black study, and the struggle of the 21st century. Those are the only objections they have, and so they got rid of an entire. Force with over 100 topics. About our history. Because of these six and these six, for me actually belong, you cannot study the last 20 years of black culture and not study Black Lives matter. You cannot study the March on Washington, Rock’n’Roll and Little Richard.
He went on, “I mean all of these individuals who played. That’s a huge little poetry writing in James Baldwin who are black and gay, and so these things actually matter and it. Just showed me. How much of a little man Ron DeSantis is, and it’s infuriating and frustrating and requires us day in and day out to show that we belong and who we are. “

New collaboration offers automated menu updates, powers POS self-service kiosks, and gamifies employee experiences to streamline transactions and alleviate staffing issues
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Raydiant, the in-location experience platform for brick-and-mortar enterprises, today announced its partnership with Square, the globally trusted software, payments and hardware company. The collaboration sets the tone for the future of brick-and-mortar by empowering businesses to create next-level in-store experiences for both customers and employees.
"Restaurant and retail merchants just endured potentially the most difficult two years of business they've ever had," said Bobby Marhamat, Raydiant's CEO. "They want simple, streamlined processes that keep sales up, employees happy, and customers loyal. For the first time ever, this simplification of a tedious back-end process allows retailers to shift their focus from operations to hospitality. They can return to nurturing the heart and soul of their businesses."
By integrating with Raydiant's Digital Menus app, Square merchants now have the ability to create, schedule, and automatically update digital signage that connects to their Square POS system. This will improve a business' efficiency by eliminating manual updates to menu items. Square merchants will also soon have access to Raydiant's Self-Service Kiosks outfitted with Square's POS system, automatically updating any changes to item availability and pricing. A recent survey showed nearly 60% of consumers preferred a self-service checkout option over a cashier-assisted one. This integration will create a seamless, streamlined ordering experience while reducing manual, time-consuming tasks for front-of-house staff.
"As consumers return to brick-and-mortar stores, our priority is enabling sellers to provide a dynamic, seamless experience for their customers and staff," said Vijay Vachani, Global Head of Partners and Developers at Square. "With this partnership, Square sellers will experience benefits for both front-of-house and back-of-house operations. Their customers will enjoy simple self-service checkouts with kiosks and will receive real-time updates from digital signage, while employees will have the unique opportunity to join in motivating contests and redeem points for rewards. This improved experience will build loyalty not only among their customers, but staff as well."
Square merchants can also leverage Raydiant's Employee Experience Platform for connecting, motivating, and celebrating back-of-house employees. Data such as average physical sales by employee, sales by location, and top selling items are transformed from Square's POS system into motivating contests, games, and other healthy employee competition. For example, managers can track sales activity to determine who sold the most of a particular item. Employees can redeem earned points for various rewards — from electronics and gift cards to travel experiences — through Raydiant's recognition platform. Better employee experiences are critical, as Raydiant's recent State of Deskless Work report found that 52 percent of non-office workers plan to quit their jobs over the next year.
Key features of Raydiant's Digital Menus app include:
- Real-time menu updates: Display and update prices, categories, items, modifiers, and availability instantly. For example, restaurants leveraging Square's POS system can schedule menu boards to automatically update based on specific offerings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Multi-location support and location-specific pricing: Merchants with multiple stores can seamlessly connect to any of their business locations from a single laptop. Display items reflect appropriate prices based on the selected location.
- Filtering: Allow customers to select items by category and choose whether to display or hide a product or service's details.

A funny thing happened to me on Tuesday night, moments after LeBron James broke the NBA's all-time scoring record: I started going viral on Twitter.
It made no sense. It had been more than 12 hours since I last posted, and that tweet was about Microsoft and the new Bing. I wasn't even watching the game between Lebron's Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder — I only knew the record was broken because of a news alert on my phone. (As a father of two young and active children, I'm already spiritually and physically broken at this point in the day.)
Stranger still: The viral tweet in question hadn't even been sent that day, that week or that year. No, this was a tweet I fired off 13 years ago. And it was going bonkers.
It read: "LeBron James=overrated AND heading to New York. Sucks to be in Cleveland right now."
Taken without any context, this is an epically bad take. Indefensible. Nonsensical. James is on the Los Angeles Lakers. He never played in New York. And clearly, after toppling a 39-year-old record held by the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he's actually pretty good.
And the final irony of this post: I'm a hardcore Lakers fan, which is listed right on my Twitter bio. I should know better, right?
The whole thing initially threw me off kilter. When the first notification hit my phone and I read the tweet, my gut reaction was: "Wow, that's a stupid take!" My second reaction after looking at it more closely: "Oh wait, I wrote that…"
The fact that Barack Obama was still in the White House when that tweet came out didn't matter to the denizens of today's sports Twitter, who mercilessly roasted me. @OldTakesExposed kicked things off by retweeting my post, and the haters came flooding in.
"Damn you got like everything wrong here," said @Loki64746912.
"I admire being so incorrect," said @OgClutch1.
And perhaps the best insult from @WhackPoser216: "It's actually pretty awesome to be in Cleveland. How the Lakers doing?" Not well, WhackPoser216, not well.
Shout out to @BradRobinson86, who came to my defense: "Jesus @OldTakesExpossed this is 13 years old."
But it didn't matter. This is Twitter in 2023, a place where time has no meaning, trolls roam free and it seems like the inmates are running the asylum (oh, wait…). Not that I minded the jabs and taunts — my phone hasn't blown up like that since I got former T-Mobile CEO John Legere kicked out of an AT&T party. I actually enjoyed the buzz of my phone and a notification from someone telling me that I was so, so wrong.
A day into this, the tweet has collected 142 retweets and more than 600 likes. It's been viewed by more than 150,000 people. On a normal day, one of my tweets will get five pity likes – a few dozen if I'm lucky. And the notifications keep trickling in.
At this point I think it's safe to say that my post is just horrifically, embarrassingly off. With more than a decade of hindsight, it's clearly wrong in multiple ways. A newly earned scoring record and four titles for LeBron has me with egg on my face.
But more fascinating to me: This tweet also served as a reflection of someone wholly different from the person banging away at a keyboard now. This was Roger in his early 30s, likely in a midtown Manhattan sports bar, one hand on a glass of beer and the other on his phone, quick to tweet. He was actively engaged in the Twittersphere, eager to join the conversation, any conversation. He also would've taken this more seriously, and maybe gotten a little defensive about the whole thing.
Current Roger is a lot more burned out from social media and, in general, a lot more zen about things. So maybe it's good that it's happening now. Either way, it's a refreshing reminder of who I was.
Current Roger also has the benefit of a whole lot of hindsight. Remember, it was 2010, and none of James' titles had materialized yet. My tweet went live on May 13, 2010, the same day the Kevin Garnett-led Boston Celtics bounced James' Cleveland Cavaliers out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The loss had Cleveland wondering if its hometown hero would stick around, with the smart money suggesting he would move to the New York Knicks.
James would announce two months later that he was "gonna take my talents" to Miami instead. Viewed with that context, my tweet makes a lot more sense.
Twitter, however, isn't going to let logic or context deter sports fans from skewering one of its own. And I'm totally game. Heck, I'd welcome a second helping of backlash if James could win my Lakers another title.
But I'm not dumb enough to post another foolhardy James prediction. One viral moment is enough.

Emergency responders are investigating a construction accident that killed one person at Brockton Hospital.
A large presence of local, state and federal authorities have responded to the area of Quincy Avenue and Libby Street, on the Brockton Hospital campus.
Brockton and Massachusetts State Police received a call around noon of a man “trapped by a Bobcat skid steer loader,” Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz told reporters at about 3:45 p.m.
Authorities said the man, identified as Roger Porter of East Sandwich, was pronounced dead on scene.
Cruz made clear Porter was not driving the construction vehicle when the accident took place, but rather, the 63-year-old was “leveling out gravel as it was being put into a pit.”
WCVB reported earlier Tuesday afternoon its news helicopter had flown over Brockton Hospital, finding a Bobcat construction vehicle had fallen over into a hole next to the facility’s foundation.
Massachusetts State Police confirmed a piece of construction equipment had struck the victim, resulting in his death.
The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner arrived at the hospital around 3:15 p.m. Authorities have alerted the victim’s family, according to a statement from Signature Healthcare, which runs Brockton Hospital.
“It is with most profound sadness that we are reporting a fatal injury that occurred on the campus of Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital today around noon,” Signature’s statement reads. “A construction contractor was working onsite at Brockton Hospital when an accident occurred, killing the worker.”
LMA Services Company, LLC is receiving an inspection from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration following the accident.
Brockton Hospital has been closed since early February following a 10-alarm transformer fire which drew the largest emergency response in city history. That incident displaced 176 patients, with 138 being taken for treatment at nearby health facilities.
Officials had hoped the hospital would reopen by mid May, a best case scenario. However, the main facility remains shuttered, while Signature Healthcare’s outlying centers are open for care.
Tuesday’s accident comes days after a construction worker was seriously injured at Norwood Hospital, which is being rebuilt in the wake of a flash flood that permanently shut down the 215-bed facility in June 2020.
The worker in that incident reportedly fell from the top of the second floor, according to Norwood Fire Department.

South Point's Mo Long, blue uniform, tackles Fairland's J.D. Brumfield during a high school football game Oct. 21, 2021, at Alumni Stadium in South Point, Ohio. Long, an Akron commit, returns to lead the Pointers up front this season.
South Point's Jordan Ermalovich (1), from left, moves past Boyd County's Logan Butler (52) during the high school football season opener on Friday, August 20, 2021, in Ashland.
Chris Davis’ gains far outweigh his losses as he prepares his South Point football team for the 2022 season.
The Pointers’ third-year head coach lost key playmakers in Malik Pegram, Maddox McCallister and Alex Lambert to graduation, but the team returns size and talent along his offensive and defensive lines.
South Point has 36 players this season, Davis said, with 16 of those seeing significant time on last season’s squad that finished 1-8 overall and 1-6 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Davis said that lone win in league play gave South Point confidence that is carrying over into this season.
“It’s a different atmosphere here,” Davis said. “The kids can’t wait to get started.”
The change in attitude began with summer workouts in the weight room that started June 1, when Davis said all his players turned out for the voluntary exercise.
Returning senior quarterback Jordan Ermalovich said the weightlifting has paid off from what he has seen of his teammates in scrimmages in August.
“We’re going to be much better this year,” Ermalovich said.
Sophomore Kamren Wilkerson and junior Eli Wilburn will team up at the receiver spots to try to replace Pegram. Additionally, sophomore Brayden Hanshaw will provide depth.
Davis said Ermalovich could see some playing time at receiver and, when he does, junior Xathan Haney will be playing at quarterback.
“Right now, it will be Ermalovich because he played last year, but the thing is we can throw him in at receiver and bring Haney in at quarterback,” Davis said. “We’re versatile like that.”
A pair of juniors, Blaine Freeman and Gage Chapman, will start as running backs, Davis said, with the challenge of replacing McCallister in the offensive backfield.
Junior Owen Frederick will play at wingback for South Point, Davis said.
“Our running backs have experience,” Davis said. “Our receivers and secondary are going to have something to prove because they are young.”
South Point will be strongest along the line of scrimmage where a wealth of experience returns for the Pointers.
Mo Long, who has given a verbal commitment to play at the University of Akron, is a standout along the offensive line at tackle and can play any position along the defensive front.
Fellow senior Owen Barker lines up at the other tackle spots on both offense and defense.
Joining them will be offensive guard/defensive tackle Dontae Harris, who started last season. Both units have experienced depth on which to rely.
“Our line has the most experience of any (other position),” Davis said.
Long, Barker, Harris, and Frederick all saw action along the defensive line in 2021. Freeman and Chapman will return to their linebacker positions for the new season
Just as their inexperience as receivers makes the unit a question mark, so too is the group’s ability to play defensive back for Davis.
Wilkerson and Wilburn will take spots as cornerbacks for the Pointers and Haney along with Ermalovich will starting safeties, Davis said.
Hanshaw will handle punting duties for Davis, the coach said, and senior Braylon Balandra will take over as kicker for the graduated Mason Kazee.

While the other cloud providers demonstrated impressive growth, Liftr Insights data revealed how Microsoft broke out from the rest.
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Liftr Insights, a pioneer in market intelligence driven by unique data, shows 2022 growth of Microsoft Azure through the lens of Liftr Insights data.
While Microsoft Azure has shown large growth during Q4 for the past 4 years, over the past two years Microsoft has broken away from the pack with large Q4 investments into new infrastructure.
"This is interesting because AWS would like to dominate Q4 with its re:Invent conference announcing their new line-up of products," says Tab Schadt, CEO of Liftr Insights. "But when it comes to actual deployments around that time for the past few years, Azure has shown its capacity to invest."
Azure broke out from the growth of the other cloud providers with a 45% increase in 2022. Only Tencent Cloud performed better in terms of percentage growth, but not with the same volume as Azure.
"The value in our data is in answering key questions: who invested, where did they invest, and what did they invest in?" says Schadt.
For example, Azure's mix of processor vendors has shifted. Over the course of 2022, AMD's share of Azure configurations has increased by 35% while Intel's share has declined by double-digits
"Along with which chip vendors they use and which regions they expand, which workload types they choose to invest in are some of the many signals our customers find in the data," says Schadt.
On this point, Azure doubled its investments in High Performance Computing instances in 2022 and more than tripled its investments in Storage Optimized instances. In comparison, its investment in General Purpose workloads increased 46% in 2022. Not a small increase, but small compared to these other workload types.
We will continue to watch as Azure grows and changes over the next year," says Schadt. "Let's see if they follow some of the patterns and trends we are seeing in our four years of data."

(iSeeCars) – We’ve all heard the advice that you should never accept the first offer. This wisdom is especially true in the world of used car buying. Some car shoppers are shrewd negotiators, while others cringe at the thought of the negotiation process. Regardless of your personal preferences, negotiating on a used car can save you a lot of money and is well worth the effort.
How can you stretch a deal to its limit and get a fair price for the used car without prompting a seller to walk away from the deal? Here are some suggestions and tips that will help you in negotiating the lowest price for a used car.
Get a Vehicle History Report
Obtaining a vehicle history report from providers such a CarFax or AutoCheck can give you a better understanding of the condition of the vehicle and help you anticipate issues you may have in the future. You can get a vehicle history report from the dealership, or you can get one yourself through a number of online tools like the iSeeCars VIN check report. You may uncover that a car has been in an accident or has sustained damage, which can provide you with negotiation opportunities. While you should be wary of cars that have been in serious accidents, those with minor cosmetic damage can provide significant savings.
Run a VIN Check
A vehicle history report provides just some of the important information about a used car, but it doesn’t provide the complete picture. Running a VIN check will complement the vehicle history report and provide all the important information about a used car to help shoppers make an informed purchase decision.
How do you do a VIN check? Most vehicle listings include a car’s vehicle identification number (VIN), or if you are looking at a vehicle it can be found on the dash under the windshield (usually near the driver’s side front roof pillar). There are many VIN checks to choose from, but the free VIN check from iSeeCars is the most comprehensive. It provides an important pre-purchase analysis with information including:
- Price Analysis: Compares the seller’s price of the vehicle to its estimated market value to help you understand if the vehicle is a good deal. It also shows a graph of similar vehicles currently for sale, which can be used as leverage to get the dealer to lower the price.
- Mileage Analysis: Compares the vehicle’s mileage to the average for the vehicle. This helps determine if the vehicle has more miles than what is typical, which could present a negotiation opportunity.
- Listing History: Shows how long the vehicle has been for sale and gives the average time it takes similar vehicles to sell. The longer a vehicle stays on the market, the more negotiating leverage you may have.
- Supply Analysis: Gives the number of similar vehicles for sale in your area. The more vehicles there are, the more negotiating power you have.
- Similar Vehicles for Sale: Compares the vehicle’s price, mileage, and market value against other vehicles currently for sale.
This information will empower you to understand how much you should be paying for the vehicle and if it is a good deal. If you are knowledgeable about a vehicle it will show the seller that you are a serious buyer who is interested in finding a deal, and they will be more likely to lower the price. Also pay attention to how long the car has been on the market compared to the average for similar vehicles. A dealer will be more likely to accept a lower price for a car that has been on the market for a long time just to move it off the lot.
Determine Market Value
Knowing a car’s market value lets you know whether a dealer’s asking price is fair or whether a seller is pricing a car above market value. A new or used car’s market value tells you what similar cars are selling for. iSeeCars.com includes a car’s market value in each listing and compares the asking price relative to market value. iSeeCars calculates the market price by analyzing the prices of similar cars for sale locally and applying a mathematical model that also takes into account important factors like price, mileage, condition, and specific features a car may or may not have. Cars are clearly labeled as below and above market value to indicate which are the best deals and which leave more room for negotiation to help get the best price.
Along with iSeeCars, there are other sites that calculate market value such as Kelley Blue Book (KBB) or Edmunds. KBB offers three prices: private party price, trade-in price, and retail price. A reasonable price to pay or offer is usually between the private party price and the retail price.
Get Pre-Approved for Financing
If you get preapproved for an auto loan before visiting the used car lot, it will show that you are a serious buyer. You may also secure a lower interest rate through your own bank or credit union than what the dealer can offer. You can also use it as leverage to see if the dealer can provide an even lower rate on a car loan. Just beware of longer term loans. While they offer a lower monthly payment, you will end up paying more in interest over the life of the loan.
Ignore the “Monthly Payment” Ploy
One of the most common tactics a dealer will leverage is the “monthly payment” question. “What’s your monthly budget?” They know many shoppers think of their car expenses in terms of a monthly payment, and they use this to increase the car’s price, increase the interest rate, or slip extras into the deal. Common dealer lines include, “The extended warranty will only cost you another $8 a month. Now that’s cheap insurance for peace of mind, right?” Don’t play their game. Tell them you will be basing your purchase decision off the total price of the car, not the monthly payment.
Don’t Show Emotion
This is an odd but important step to remember. Whether dealing with used car dealerships or used cars for sale by owner, don’t let them know when you’re excited or that you definitely want the car. The car salesman will be less likely to negotiate if they have you pegged as a sure sale. Let them know that you are also considering several other vehicles from other sellers. You can even have other listings for reference so they know you are considering other dealerships.
Perform a Thorough Inspection
When you see the vehicle in person, be sure to give it a close look to see if there are any glaring problems, like rust, mismatched paint colors, leaks, or worn-out tires. You should also look for signs of poor alignment like uneven tire wear, which could mean that there is a suspension problem. If the vehicle passes your first test, take it for a test drive to a trusted mechanic for a more thorough examination. (Refer to our helpful guide on how to inspect a used car.)
If you find any issues, you can use them as leverage to ask the dealer for a better price.
No-Haggle? No Problem
Some dealers like Carvana and CarMax offer no-haggle pricing, which means their advertised price is final. So before you get your game face on for the negotiation process, make sure the dealer doesn’t have a no-haggle pricing policy. If haggling is not an option, there may be other opportunities for negotiating, such as your trade-in value or extras like new tires or a second key fob. (To learn more about the major no-haggle dealerships check out our CarMax Vs. Carvana guide.)
Determine an Offer Price and Your Maximum Price
You’ve armed yourself with data, lined up your own financing, and kept your emotions in check. Now it’s time to begin the car negotiation process. If you’ve determined the seller is asking a fair price, offer to buy the car for some amount off the sticker price. Make sure that the price you are being quoted is the out-the-door price, which includes all fees and other charges. You don’t want to negotiate and be surprised by a higher figure later. And even after you confirm the car’s price, remember there will be extras you can’t avoid, like taxes and registration fees that are usually rolled into the final amount you’ll pay at the time of purchase.
Determine the maximum price, also known as a target price, that you’re willing to pay by factoring in market price, any repair costs that may be required, and your budget. Don’t offer the maximum price you’re willing to pay as the first price. Make your first offer price $500+ below what you’re willing to pay. (You may be willing to pay more—just don’t let them know!) If they counter-offer, be willing to raise your price a small increment at a time.
Explain Your Reasoning for a Lower Price
If you determine that the car is overpriced, tell them you are still interested but aren’t willing to pay above market value. Then tell them what your research determined to be the market price. Present your offer to them and let them know you will look for a car elsewhere if they aren’t willing to lower their price. Private sellers especially may be particularly worried about losing the sale, and offer to lower their price! They don’t have regular customer traffic like a dealership.
Be Prepared to Walk Away
Car shoppers often forget their most powerful weapon when buying a car: the power to walk away. If a dealership knows you’re a serious buyer on the cusp of making a car purchase, the thought of you making that purchase somewhere else is kryptonite for a dealer. They HATE the idea of another seller getting your money. Use that! Make it clear you’re ready to buy but also make it clear you’re ready to walk away if they can’t meet your price, or treat you well during the process. Car shoppers often think the dealership is in control. But they want your money, which puts you in control.
Beware of the Extended Warranty and Other Add-Ons
Regardless of whether you secure financing through the car dealer or through an outside lender, the dealership finance sales manager will give you a hard sell for an extended warranty. Extended warranties are seldom worth the extra cost, so stand firm and don’t fall for the salesperson’s pressure tactics. The same holds true for other add-ons that they might try to sell you, like entertainment systems, accessories, GAP insurance, and tire packages. To learn more check out our guide on Extended Car Warranties: Are they Worth It? article to understand if and when extended car warranties are worth it.
How to Negotiate the Price of a New Car
Negotiating the upfront price of a new car is similar to negotiating the price of a used car, but there is no guesswork involved on the condition of the vehicle. As such, there is less wiggle room, but getting a lower price is still possible.
Do Your Research
Find the MSRP of the vehicle on iSeeCars.com, Edmunds, or Kelley Blue Book before you head to the dealership. Be sure to research for any rebates or special offers. Also find the invoice price of the vehicle, which is what the dealership paid for the car. This information can be found on the Edmunds website.
Negotiate off the Invoice Price
Use the invoice price as your starting point for the negotiation. Any figure above this price means a profit for the dealership. Your target price should be 2 percent above the invoice price, so you can start lower and raise your offer until you hit that target. Just like the negotiation process for a used car, you should have a best price quote from another dealership to show the dealer that you are willing to take your business elsewhere.
Bottom Line
Be confident in the negotiation and do not be afraid to walk away if the purchase price isn’t right. Your best line of defense from overpaying for a car is by conducting thorough research. A car salesperson is more likely to lower the price if you give a compelling reason why. And even if they are unwilling to lower the price, it’s always worth the ask. This is also true if the price of the car is below market value, it still doesn’t hurt to ask for a lower price. As long as you’ve done your research and armed yourself with the necessary information about the car, the chances are good you won’t get ripped off, and a little negotiation effort on your part could result in a great deal on your car purchase.
Negotiating is just one part of the complex used car buying process. Check out our comprehensive How to Buy a Used Car guide for more tips on finding the right car at the right price.

LONDON (AP) — A retired judge opened a public inquiry on Tuesday into how Britain handled the coronavirus pandemic, saying bereaved families and those who suffered would be at the heart of the proceedings.
Former Court of Appeal judge Heather Hallett said the inquiry would investigate the U.K.'s preparedness for a pandemic, how the government responded, and whether the “level of loss was inevitable or whether things could have been done better."
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed to hold an inquiry on his government’s handling of the pandemic after pressure from bereaved families. COVID-19 has left more than 204,000 people in Britain dead in one of the worst death tolls in the world.
Hallett said her main aim was to produce recommendations before “another disaster strikes.”
“I have a duty to the public to conduct a thorough, fair and independent inquiry for the whole of the U.K. and I intend to do so," she said.
She added that the inquiry would not “drag on for decades, producing reports when it is too late for them to do any good.”
The probe will have the power to summon evidence and to question witnesses under oath. Potentially hundreds of thousands of people are expected to share their experiences through a “formal listening exercise," which was established so people can take part without physically attending a hearing or give evidence in a formal setting.
Addressing some bereaved families' concerns that they will be “sidelined" in the investigation, Hallett said she would not be able to cover every issue in as much detail “as some may wish."
The inquiry's opening has been delayed for months, frustrating families. It is expected to last at least a year, with the first evidence sessions starting in spring 2023.

Legendary rock guitarist Brian May has received a knighthood from Britain's King Charles III.
May, who was a founding member of the band Queen, will now be known as Sir Brian, following the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
The star received the title of Knight Bachelor for his services to music and to charity. He attended the ceremony alongside his wife, Anita Dobson, a former star of long-running British TV soap "EastEnders."
Congratulating him online, a tweet from Queen's official account said: "Arise Sir Brian May
"Brian's investiture as a Knight of The Realm took place today at Buckingham Palace. The knighthood was presented to Brian by His Royal Highness, King Charles.
"Many congratulations, Sir Brian!"
There was also a post on the royal family's official Twitter account about the event, picturing May alongside British saxophonist YolanDa Brown, who was also honored.
May, 75, was one of more than 1,000 people honored on King Charles III's first New Year's honors list, announced in December 2022.
In addition to performing with Queen since the 1970s, May is also an astrophysicist. He received his PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007 after taking a break from his studies in the 1970s to focus on the band.
He is also a vocal supporter of animal rights and critic of hunting. In 2010, he formed an organization called the Save Me Trust, to campaign against fox hunting and badger culling in the UK.
May isn't the only member of Queen to have received a royal title. Drummer Roger Taylor was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2020. May previously received the title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2005.
May famously performed a rendition of "God Save the Queen" from the roof of Buckingham Palace at Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002.
Twenty years later, he performed with Queen for the same monarch's Platinum Jubilee Concert.

BOSTON (AP) — Hunter Renfroe belted a two-run homer over the Green Monster, Eric Lauer pitched five innings of one-run ball for his first victory in over a month and the Milwaukee Brewers beat fading Boston 9-4, sending the Red Sox to their 13th loss in 16 games. Omar Narváez and Tyrone Taylor each added a solo shot, and Rowdy Tellez had three hits and drove in a run for the NL Central-leading Brewers, who are 7-1 since the All-Star break. Milwaukee, playing in Boston for the first time since 2014, will try for a sweep of the three-game series Sunday.

At least 29 people have fallen ill during a fast-moving E. coli outbreak in Michigan and Ohio, while the source of the outbreak is still unknown.
Of the confirmed cases, 15 are in Michigan and 14 are in Ohio. No deaths have been reported from the outbreak, but at least nine people have been hospitalized.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that those numbers are likely undercounted and that "the true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely higher."
The CDC is asking for help in finding the source of the outbreak. If you're experiencing E. coli symptoms, you should write down everything you ate in the week before becoming sick and report your illness to your local health department.
This outbreak is larger than the usual summer uptick
Symptoms of E. coli sickness vary from person to person but often include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that is often bloody, vomiting and a fever. These symptoms usually start within three to four days after the bacteria is swallowed, the CDC said, and most people recover without treatment within a week.
While the source of the current outbreak is unknown, some of the cases have been linked to each other through laboratory testing and results, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said.
Michigan has seen a jump in E. coli infections compared to this same time last year. At least 98 cases have been recorded this August compared to 20 cases in the same time period last year.
"While reports of E. coli illness typically increase during the warmer summer months, this significant jump in cases is alarming," Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, MDHHS chief medical executive, said in a statement. "This is a reminder to make sure to follow best practices when it comes to hand hygiene and food handling to prevent these kinds of foodborne illness."
The CDC offers tips on how to avoid E. coli infections
To help prevent E. coli infections, the CDC recommends keeping things clean. This includes washing your hands often, washing surfaces and utensils, and rinsing produce before eating or preparing it.
Separating things like raw meats from foods that won't be cooked also helps lessen the chance for contamination.
Temperature is also important. Ensuring your meats are cooked to a high enough temperature helps kill germs, the CDC said. Keeping perishable food refrigerated or making sure it gets back in the fridge within two hours is also a good prevention practice.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Game Garden and Playground have collaborated to launch the Guardian Hunters project, after the success of the Creature Hunters, which was released in July, drew a lot of attention and achieved good results. As previously announced, a game of defense against an onslaught of various creatures is in the works for release later this year. Similar to Creature Hunters, this version will be a P2E game, called Guardian Hunters.
The Creature Hunters community is rapidly expanding
Creature Hunters is a simple game in which players move and match blocks to create as many combos as possible and defeat Creatures, allowing them to be rewarded for their efforts and earn profits. The game is constantly improving its features in order to increase user engagement, represent the true value of effort and game profit, and provide users with a high level of pleasure.
Many events have attracted hundreds of thousands of participants
The Creature Hunters community currently has over 300,000 active members. The massive prize pool is the most appealing aspect of Creature Hunters events. Participants have the opportunity to win substantial awards.
Creature Hunters has hosted several well-attended fan events, demonstrating the game's popularity. There was also a lot of interest in new robots, animals, and music. The Creature Hunters theme music is available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.
Over 200,000 people attended the NFT Music Airdrop event in July. This event had 10,000 participants who had to complete tasks in order to win NFT Music. Following this, the game will evolve into online idol robots where you can meet and engage in a variety of related activities such as music and games. This must be great news for Hunter's community.
What are the Guardian Hunters' expectations?
Guardian Hunters game is a defense game that blocks enemies from coming by summoning robots with unique abilities that differ from the earth, water, fire, wind, etc. It is expected to be able to redesign existing robots and creatures in SD versions to provide more appealing user experiences.
Users can use a variety of tactics by combining different characteristics and skills. PVP and cooperative modes will be supported, and users will receive numerous rewards such as attendance rewards, daily rewards, and quest rewards.
There is no doubt that the gaming industry is growing. The rise of Play-to-Earn will lead to a transformation in gaming trends, which will almost certainly revolutionize existing large projects. So, Guardian Hunters is promised to become the market leader in the NFT defense game market. More information about Guardian Hunters will be announced soon. You can check out Creature Hunter's official channels for the most recent news and updates.

The U.S. Supreme Court for now has tossed out former President Trump's objections to the way the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals is handling the seizure of classified documents from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
The court's action was announced even as the Jan. 6 committee was conducting its last public hearing focused on Trump's role in the violence at the Capitol after the election.
The Eleventh Circuit has twice blocked legal actions taken at Trumps behest by Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointed judge, who named a special master to examine the documents and blocked the Justice Department from continuing its investigation into the handling of the documents and related matters.
Already the appeals court has blocked much of what Judge Cannon has done. Trump "has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents," wrote the appeals court panel, which included two Trump appointees. Moreover, said the three-judge panel, "The United States has sufficiently explained how and why it's national security review is inextricably intertwined with its criminal investigation." Indeed, said the panel, it would be "difficult if not impossible" for the Justice Department to pursue its investigation if it is barred from reviewing the seized materials.
Addressing Trump's claim that he may have declassified the documents, the panel called that a "red herring," noting Trump had failed to present any evidence to support his claim. "The record contains no evidence that any of these records were declassified," the appeals court judges wrote, adding that Trump in appearing before the special master, had "resisted providing any evidence that he that he had declassified any of these documents."
That was in late September. In early October, the appeals court ordered the whole process of examining documents by the special master, speeded up, prompting Trump to appeal all of this to the Supreme Court.
Trump watchers were divided over why Trump's lawyers went to the Supreme Court at all. Did Trump insist on going to the high court, where three of the nine Justices are his appointees? Or was this a classic Trump maneuver aimed at exhausting his adversaries by prolonging litigation. If the latter, his adversary this time is unlike any he has faced before. The Justice Department won't run out of money like others who have faced off against Trump. If the former, Thursday's order likely infuriated Trump, though it is unlikely to have disabused him of the notion that the justices he appointed would side with him out of loyalty.

LONDON (AP) — Credit Suisse owes former Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili hundreds of millions of dollars for failing to protect the billionaire’s money in a trust pilfered by a manager, a Singapore court ruled Friday, the latest scandal for the Swiss bank whose yearslong problems forced its takeover by a rival.
Ivanishvili in 2004 put more than $1.1 billion into a trust overseen by the bank’s Singapore subsidiary, Credit Suisse Trust Limited, and the employee managing the trust “misappropriated many millions of dollars” over nine years before being caught and sent to prison, the Singapore International Commercial Court said.
The billionaire businessman, who amassed a fortune in Russia before serving as Georgia’s prime minister from 2012 to 2013, sued the Swiss bank for about $1.2 billion, saying it failed to properly administer the trust and keep its assets safe.
“The judgment published today is wrong and poses very significant legal issues,” Credit Suisse said in a statement. “Credit Suisse Trust Limited intends to vigorously pursue an appeal.”
The bank has previously acknowledged that it did not take reasonable steps to protect the trust’s assets as of the end of 2008 and agreed to pay more than $79.4 million last year in a settlement.
“The defendant is liable to compensate the plaintiffs for their loss,” which has been calculated at $926 million, minus the amount of the settlement, Judge Patricia Bergin said in a ruling.
She added that any payout in a related case in Bermuda must be reduced so there isn’t “double recovery.”
The bank has appealed a decision by the Supreme Court of Bermuda that Credit Suisse failed to prevent “fraudulent mismanagement” of Ivanishvili’s assets in two life insurance policies taken out with Credit Suisse Life, a subsidiary based in the island territory.
Ivanishvili claimed damages of nearly $554 million in that case.
The once-venerable Swiss lender has seen a string of scandals over the years that hit the heart of its business, ranging from bad bets on hedge funds to failing to prevent money laundering by a Bulgarian cocaine ring and accusations it didn’t report secret offshore accounts that wealthy Americans used to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
The Swiss government hastily orchestrated a $3.25 billion takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS in March after Credit Suisse’s stock plunged and customers quickly pulled out their money, fearing its collapse could further roil global financial markets following the failures of two U.S. banks.
UBS is trying to close the deal shortly, with the European Union’s executive branch signing off on it Thursday.
A day earlier, UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher said Switzerland’s largest bank is “worried about cultural contamination” and has used what he dubbed a “culture filter” to determine whom to bring over from Credit Suisse.
The takeover “comes with huge integration risks, but we think once we get through that, the clear value that can be created is very obvious,” he said at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit in London.

THOM MASON, DIRECTOR OF THE LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY, AND HONORARY EVENT CHAIRMEN NOBEL PRIZE WINNER DR. KIP THORNE AND WORLD-RENOWNED PHYSICIST DR. CARLO ROVELLI
THIS SPECIAL SCREENING EVENT MARKS THE SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, LED BY J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, AND THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DETONATION OF THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB, KNOWN AS THE TRINITY TEST, ON JULY 16, 1945
80 YEARS AGO THIS YEAR, IN 1943, J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER ASSEMBLED THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS OF THAT ERA TO LAUNCH THE MANHATTAN PROJECT
IN THAT SPIRIT, AMONG THE INVITED GUESTS AT THIS EVENT WILL BE SOME OF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS OF THIS ERA, INCLUDING ACCLAIMED PHYSICISTS FROM AMONG THE MOST ELITE UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES
OPPENHEIMER ARRIVES IN THEATERS JULY 21, 2023
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., July 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Pictures and Syncopy today announced The Trinity Anniversary Screening event for the new epic thriller from writer-director Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer, on Saturday, July 15, 2023, at The Whitby Hotel in New York City. The screening will begin at 2 p.m. EDT followed by the panel discussion at 5 p.m. EDT, and a post-panel reception.
The event marks the upcoming release of Oppenheimer on July 21, the historic scientific achievements of The Manhattan Project and the anniversary of the Manhattan Project's Trinity Test, which detonated the first atomic bomb on July 16, 1945.
The panel following the screening of the film will be moderated by Emmy winner Chuck Todd, anchor of NBC's Meet the Press, and will feature Oppenheimer writer-director Christopher Nolan, Pulitzer Prize winner Kai Bird, the author of American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Dr. Thom Mason, Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the event's honorary chairmen: Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist Dr. Kip Thorne, who served as a consultant on the film, and world-renowned theoretical physicist Dr. Carlo Rovelli, the New York Times best-selling author of The Order of Time, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Anaximander and the Birth of Science. The panel discussion will be followed by a private reception.
In 1943, 80 years ago this year, theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer assembled the greatest scientific minds of his era in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to launch the Manhattan Project, a top-secret mission to create the world's first atomic bomb.
On July 16, 1945, 78 years ago, at 5:29 a.m. MDT, the Manhattan Project achieved that goal with the successful detonation of the atomic bomb, known as the Trinity Test, 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range.
When Universal Pictures released the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in July 2022, it also launched the official Oppenheimer film site, which features a countdown clock, set to reach zero on the anniversary of the Trinity Test.
Now, just as J. Robert Oppenheimer assembled the greatest scientific minds of his time, this screening event will assemble some of the greatest scientific minds of our time. Among the screening's invited guests will be some of the most acclaimed and revered scientific minds of the 21st century, including those from some of American's most prestigious universities.
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt, Oscar® winner Matt Damon, Oscar® nominee Robert Downey, Jr., Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Oscar® winner Casey Affleck, Oscar® winner Rami Malek and Oscar® winning filmmaker and actor Kenneth Branagh.
Christopher Nolan's films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations.

ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Barack Obama, reprising his battleground blitz ahead of the midterm elections, will campaign again for Sen. Raphael Warnock as the Georgia Democrat tries to withstand a strong challenge from Republican Herschel Walker before their Dec. 6 runoff.
Obama’s return trip to Georgia is scheduled for Dec. 1, the eve of the final day of early in-person voting that has proven critical to Democrats in recent years, including Warnock’s runoff special election victory nearly two years ago. Obama first appeared with Warnock in late October during the general election early voting period.
Warnock led Walker by about 36,000 votes in the general election but fell short of a majority, triggering a runoff under Georgia law.
Obama is the only significant national Democrat to campaign in person for Warnock, who has spent much of his reelection bid aiming for independent voters and even moderate Republicans, in addition to Democrats’ core supporters. Republicans, in turn, have sought to frame the race more as a national referendum on the two parties, tying Warnock to President Joe Biden and generationally high inflation.
Democrats managed to defend their Senate majority, already securing 50 seats -- along with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote -- and managing to limit Republicans to a threadbare majority in the House. But Georgia remains a key seat because a 51st senator would give Democrats an outright majority, including on Senate committees, while giving the caucus insurance against defections.
Warnock and other Democrats around the country embraced Obama as well-positioned to carry the party’s banner because he remains intensely popular among the Democratic base and is still well-regarded among independents.
Trying to capitalize on that standing before the general election, Obama took on the GOP framing of voters’ midterm choice, arguing that Republicans were offering no real solutions to inflation that the former president stressed is a global phenomenon, not something that Biden and Democrats in Washington created. Obama also called Republicans a threat to democracy, pointing to many GOP leaders’ continued support for former President Donald Trump and his false claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
In Georgia specifically, Obama hammered Walker, a celebrity athlete turned politician, as woefully unprepared for the Senate, an argument Warnock is pressing both in his campaign speeches and in paid advertising.
Walker has welcomed a parade of national Republican figures, including multiple visits from Sens. Rick Scott of Florida, the GOP's Senate campaign chairman, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. But he has not appeared with Trump, despite their long-running friendship and the former president encouraging Walker to run and then endorsing him.
Most early in-person voting for the runoff is expected to occur from Nov. 28 through Dec. 2, the week prior to the runoff Election Day. Some counties plan to open early voting sites as early as Tuesday, but many counties said they couldn't manage that in the days ahead of Thanksgiving. A state judge last week granted Democrats' request to allow early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, though state officials have appealed. It's not clear how many local elections offices would be able to mobilize to stand up early sites on the holiday weekend even if they are allowed to do so.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tory Lanez’s sentencing for shooting and wounding hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion was delayed on Tuesday.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford accepted the defense’s request to delay Lanez’s sentencing, which is now scheduled for Aug. 7. Prosecutors are seeking a 13 year prison sentence and Lanez faces deportation to his native Canada.
Herriford decided to give Lanez’s lawyers more time to prepare their sentencing recommendation, which is due Aug. 1. The judge, who will sentence Lanez, denied a motion from Lanez’ defense attorneys for a new trial on May 9.
During the brief court hearing, Lanez mostly kept his head down and barely made eye contact with anyone. He wore an orange jail outfit and black cap.
Lanez was convicted in December of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm; having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
Attorneys for Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, argued that there was insufficient evidence to convict him, and some of the evidence presented to jurors should not have been allowed.
Lanez began releasing mixtapes in 2009 and saw a steady rise in popularity, moving on to major-label albums. His last two reached the top 10 on Billboard’s charts.
Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that Lanez fired a handgun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding in the Hollywood Hills in the summer of 2020. She said the two had gotten into a dispute that became especially heated when she started insulting his music.
She needed surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet.

Nearly 30 years later, man earns diploma after dropping out of high school
JOHNSTON, S.C. (WRDW/Gray News) - Twenty-nine years after dropping out of high school, a South Carolina man got his diploma.
Clyde Welch told WRDW that he is feeling a sense of accomplishment, even though he’s already owned a business for 20 years and has five children.
Welch, 43, graduated Friday through the GED program at Edgefield-McCormick County Adult Education and Family Literacy.
“When I was 15, things were difficult at home,” he said. “No one in my family had graduated from high school. My living conditions were bad, so I got a full-time job.”
On his second day of 10th grade, Welch withdrew, eventually left the area, and never returned to high school. He got married, started a family, and launched Augusta Appliance Repairs and Service, which he has owned for almost 20 years.
“I have a good life but want to do more and continue my education,” he said. “I feel drawn to complete a certificate course in theology and eventually obtain an engineering degree.”
Welch also said his faith played a vital role in entering the GED program.
“God told me to get my GED,” he said. “Preparing for the tests was tough at times, but I knew it was important and that I would work hard until I could make it happen.”
Welch said he got support from everyone in his family, including his wife, two adult children, and three teens. His 16-year-old even tutored him in science.
“Mr. Welch has shown that it is never too late to complete your educational goals,” said Vickie Butler, director of Edgefield-McCormick County Adult Education and Family Literacy. “Our staff is ready to help community members of any age, background and education level get started on accomplishing their dreams.”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Alex Bowman admired yet another Daytona 500 pole trophy that he won from mastering the superspeedway over one fast lap ahead of NASCAR’s marquee race.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver still wants to add to his Daytona collection. There’s a championship trophy missing.
“It may not be the big one,” Bowman said. “But it’s not a bad one to have.”
Bowman and Kyle Larson turned Daytona 500 qualifying into another Hendrick Motorsports romp.
Bowman posted the top speed in his No. 48 Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway and won his third career pole for the race. He’ll be joined by Larson in the No. 5 Chevrolet on the front row for NASCAR’s season opener.
The Hendrick dominance is a recurring theme at Daytona.
“They’ve got something figured out, for sure,” Larson said. “There’s obviously tricks they’ve learned along the way that still apply to these cars.”
Bowman, who missed five races late last season because of a concussion, is on the Daytona 500 front row for the the sixth straight time, and the organization has produced a pole winner in eight of the last nine years.
“There’s a ton of effort that goes into trying to qualify well here,” Bowman said.
Jimmie Johnson made a triumphant return to NASCAR on Wednesday night and qualified for the Daytona 500, a tremendous start for the the seven-time champion as he heads into his first Cup race since 2020.
The 47-year-old Johnson returned from a two-year dalliance in IndyCar for an ownership stake in Legacy Motor Club — and he quickly added to his own, joining the 40-driver field Wednesday night in his No. 84 Chevrolet.
Yes, a reverse of the No. 48 he ran when he won two Daytona 500s.
“I think I really have a shot to win,” Johnson said before he qualified. “If I survive and get through the first two stages, there’s really a shot that I have to win this race.”
Johnson will be joined Sunday by another 40-something part-timer in former X Games thrill-seeker Travis Pastrana. Pastrana said racing in the Daytona 500 was one of his last motorsports goals and this was his last, best shot to get there. He landed a ride for Daytona in the No. 67 Toyota as a third entry for the NASCAR team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.
With 36 drivers already locked into the 40-car field based on NASCAR’s charter system, Johnson and Pastrana were among six others competing for the final four starting spots at Daytona International Speedway.
Johnson and Pastrana embraced on pit row after they locked themselves into the race. They can rest easy for a night.
So can Bowman, who has yet to parlay the top spot into a Daytona 500 win, and Larson. Bowman, who received a new contract and a new crew chief in Blake Harris entering this season, turned a top speed of 181.686 mph and Larson hit 181.057. Both drive Chevrolets for team owner Rick Hendrick.
“Now it’s time to finish,” Bowman said. “Make it to the end.”
The final two open spots and the starting order will be settled in Thursday night’s duel qualifying races. Conor Daly, Austin Hill, Chandler Smith and Zane Smith will vie for the two open spots.
Smith was the first car out for qualifying and promptly stalled before he took a second shot at his lap. Smith’s meager speed at least was better than Daly, who suffered oil line problems in his Chevrolet and did not take a qualifying run.
Because NASCAR did not have practice at the superspeedway before Wednesday, teams did not have any time to hit the track and work out kinks in their cars.
It felt like old times for Johnson.
The former Hendrick Motorsports star had seemingly walked away from NASCAR after the 2020 season but he never scored a podium finish over 29 starts in two IndyCar seasons. So it was back to NASCAR, only this time with a say in how to run the operation. He bought into the ownership group of what was Petty GMS Racing and quickly rebranded it to Legacy M.C.
Pastrana was a bigger long shot to make Daytona. He has won championships in supercross, motocross, freestyle motocross, rally racing and, most recently, offshore powerboat racing. He made a brief run at NASCAR a decade ago and raced a full Xfinity Series schedule in 2013 for Roush Fenway Racing.
“I got chewed up and spit out by these guys really fast,” Pastrana said. “At the end of the day, it’s because they’re the best drivers, I believe, in the entire world.”
Pastrana drove the No. 67 Toyota like a seasoned veteran and will join 23XI drivers Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick in the field.
“It’s interesting, a lot of the guys that follow NASCAR, just the fans, they know me as a TV personality or a stunt man,” Pastrana said. “Really, in my heart I’ve been a racer.”

DENVER, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- What started out as a need to monitor DUI offenders continually for alcohol consumption, resulted in the invention of SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring® (SCRAM CAM®) in 2003. Now in 2023, SCRAM Systems is marking 20 years of serving courts and agencies as they assist clients to abide by court orders of sobriety. By harnessing the power of innovative transdermal monitoring technology, SCRAM CAM has revolutionized the way alcohol consumption is monitored, eliminating the need for active testing and deterring clients from drinking around testing schedules.
In the words of a recent SCRAM CAM client, "My life completely changed. Cravings diminished and relationships with my close ones flourished. I want to continue being sober." Throughout this milestone year, as SCRAM Systems marks 20 years since the launch of the first SCRAM CAM unit in 2003, the company proudly reflects on its mission to promote abstinence and support long-term sobriety.
SCRAM Systems is proud to look back at some of the significant milestones of the first 20 years of SCRAM CAM:
- 2003: The Michigan Department of Corrections recognized the efficacy of SCRAM CAM and became SCRAM Systems' first direct customer. That same year, House Arrest Services out of Michigan became the first SCRAM Systems Authorized Service Provider.
- 2008: The device underwent a transformation, transitioning from a two-sided design to a sleeker, lighter, and more comfortable one-sided configuration, enhancing user experience.
- 2010: The 3rd generation of SCRAM CAM was now dual-purpose with the addition of house arrest functionality.
- 2013: SCRAM Systems expanded its range of electronic monitoring products to meet diverse customer and client needs, prompting the rebranding from SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) to SCRAM CAM.
- 2020: SCRAM CAM was rolled out in England and the Netherlands for those accused of alcohol-related offenses, giving SCRAM Systems a global presence.
- 2023: The first ever continuous alcohol monitoring requirement law went into effect in Colorado as CO-SB55.
The remarkable success of SCRAM CAM is evident in the astounding statistics that underline its impact in courts, communities, and the lives of clients:

The Baltimore Orioles are on the clock.
The perennial American League East cellar dwellers own the No. 1 pick overall in the 2022 MLB Draft.
The next batch of future stars will hear their names called beginning on Sunday, July 17 in Los Angeles, Calif. (site of this year’s MLB All-Star Game).
The New York Yankees have the No. 25 pick overall. But the New York Mets have two selections: No. 11 and No. 14 overall. That’s because the Mets failed to sign Vanderbilt’s Kumar Rocker, last year’s first-round selection.

MLB.com’s Jim Callis is out with his latest first-round mock. Here’s what he see’s the Big Apple’s ballclubs doing.
11. Mets: Jace Jung, 2B, Texas Tech
Jung ... is dropping slightly after looking worn out at the Big 12 Conference Tournament and the Statesboro Regional, and the Mets could try to finesse him down three more picks if there’s someone else they prefer here.
14. Mets: Daniel Susac, C, Arizona
The Mets could just grab one college bat at 11 -- and take Susac there -- and opt for (RHP Brock) Porter, (LHP Robby) Snelling, (LHP Brandon) Barriera or Georgia prep right-hander Dylan Lesko here.
25. Yankees: Sterlin Thompson, OF, Florida
The Yankees may be the high-water mark for Thompson or Vanderbilt outfielder Spencer Jones.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis underwent successful surgery Wednesday to remove intestinal scar tissue and repair a hernia in his abdominal wall, the latest maladies to befall the 86-year-old pontiff who had part of his colon removed two years ago.
The Vatican said there were no complications during the three-hour surgery, which required Francis to be under general anesthesia. The pontiff was expected to remain at Rome’s Gemelli hospital for several days, and all papal audiences were canceled through June 18.
Dr. Sergio Alfieri, director of abdominal and endocrine sciences at Gemelli, who also performed Francis’ 2021 colon surgery, said the operation was successful. A short time later, the pope was awake, alert and even joking.
“When will we do the third one?” he quoted Francis as saying.
During the operation, doctors removed adhesions, or internal scarring, on the intestine that had caused a partial blockage, as well as pain in recent months. Alfieri revealed that Francis had undergone previous undisclosed abdominal surgeries sometime before 2013 in Argentina, which had also caused scarring.
To repair the hernia that had formed over a previous scar, a prosthetic mesh was placed in the abdominal wall, Alfieri said. He added that the pope was suffering from no other pathologies, that the tissue removed was benign and that after he recovers, he should be fine.
A feared protrusion, or bulging of the intestine through the hernia tear, was apparently not found.
“It appears they operated on him in a timely fashion with no compromise to his intestine,” said Dr. Walter Longo, chief of colon and rectal surgery at Yale University School of Medicine, who did not participate in the surgery and commented after consulting the Vatican statement on the procedure.
Hernia operations are rarely performed on an emergency basis, and Alfieri said the surgery had been planned. While unannounced publicly, it appeared timed so Francis would have ample time for recovery ahead of a busy travel schedule later this summer.
At three hours, the pope’s procedure was considerably longer than the standard 60 to 90 minutes doctors say a hernia operation usually takes, but Alfieri noted that the scar tissue from the previous surgeries was completely removed.
Spending more time under anesthesia, coupled with being on a ventilator for so long — in someone who has lost part of one lung as a young man — could put the pontiff at risk of breathing complications or a longer-than-expected recovery time, experts said.
Francis remained in charge of the Vatican and the 1.3-billion strong Catholic Church, even while unconscious and in the hospital, according to canon law.
In July 2021, Francis spent 10 days at Gemelli to remove 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his large intestine. In an interview with The Associated Press in January, Francis said the diverticulosis, or bulges in his intestinal wall, that prompted that surgery had returned.
After that surgery, Francis lamented that he hadn’t responded well to the general anesthetic. That reaction in part explained his refusal to have surgery to repair strained knee ligaments that have forced him to use a wheelchair and walker for over a year.
However, Alfieri said Francis had no adverse reactions to the anesthesia in 2021 or Wednesday.
“Clearly no one likes to be operated on and put to sleep because the moment we're put under, we lose consciousness,” he told an evening news conference at the hospital with the Vatican spokesman by his side. "But there was no physiological problem two years ago or today."
Dr. Manish Chand, a professor of surgery at University College London who specializes in colorectal surgery, said the greatest issue afterwards would be pain management and making sure the wound heals properly.
“In the first six weeks after this type of surgery, you’re at risk of getting a recurrence again,” he said. To avoid that, patients are advised not to do anything strenuous.
Dr. Robin Phillips, an emeritus professor of colorectal surgery at Imperial College London, pointed out that abdominal surgery can also compromise lung function.
The Argentine pope had part of one lung removed when he was a young man. In late March, Francis spent three days at Gemelli for bronchitis and was treated with intravenous antibiotics. He emerged April 1 saying "Still alive!"
“I suspect they are doing it now because they are worried it might become more complicated and result in an emergency operation, which would carry an even bigger risk than leaving it alone or operating now,” Phillips said.
After celebrating his weekly general audience Wednesday, the pope was driven in his Fiat 500 out of the Vatican shortly after 11 a.m. and arrived at the Gemelli some 20 minutes later, escorted by police.
“The stay at the health facility will last several days to allow for the normal post-operative course and full functional recovery,” the Vatican said in a statement.
The pope had appeared in good form Wednesday morning at his audience in St. Peter’s Square, zipping around the square in his popemobile greeting the faithful. He also had two meetings beforehand, the Vatican said.
Francis has had a packed schedule of late, with multiple audiences each day. The Vatican recently confirmed a travel-filled August, when the Holy See and Italy are usually on vacation. He has a four-day visit to Portugal scheduled for the first week of August and a similarly long trip to Mongolia starting Aug. 31.
In a sign that the trips were still on, the Vatican on Tuesday released the planned itinerary for Francis’ visit to Portugal for World Youth Day events from Aug. 2 to Aug. 6. The busy schedule includes all the protocol meetings of an official state visit plus multiple events with young people and a day trip to the Marian shrine at Fatima.

‘One day at a time.’ Horace man thrown from motorcycle by erratic driver shares story of survival, resilience
HORACE, N.D. (Valley News Live) - Life is much different than Eric O’Meara ever thought it would be.
“I’ll never be 100% again. It’s one day at a time which I’m not used to doing,” O’Meara said.
66 days after crashing hard into the pavement on I-29, O’Meara’s road to recovery is far from over. O’Meara was thrown from his motorcycle on July 19 on I-29 by an erratic driver officials say was going nearly 100 mph. Following the hit-and-run, the driver, later identified by officials as 28-year-old Maichael Yousa went on a 30-minute crime spree across Fargo before getting in two more crashes and shooting at a North Dakota State Trooper.
The crash left O’Meara with a few broken ribs, severe road rash and a traumatic brain injury which has left O’Meara unable to work or drive. It’s unknown how long those restrictions will be in place. O’Meara says he has a follow-up appointment with doctors at the end of November.
“It’s very frustrating. Every day is so different,” he said. “I don’t have the physical strength anymore. It hurts to lift things. It’s getting better, but I don’t have stamina at all.”
For someone who used to be go, go, go, the extreme fatigue, brain fog, mood swings as well as sometimes slowed speech and mobility caused from his brain injury have O’Meara feeling defeated at times. One thing O’Meara credits to speeding up the toughest parts of his recovery is his time spent at Swanson’s Hyperbarics. Studies show hyperbaric oxygen therapy can dramatically and permanently improve symptoms of chronic TBI months or even many years after the original head injury.
“I like to think that I’m getting back to normal, but I see that every day that I’m not,” O’Meara said.
Rather than be bogged down by all of the setbacks, O’Meara says he chooses to see the positives. One of those positives is the woman who has stood beside him through his recovery; Heather Brouillet, his long-time girlfriend of nearly a decade.
“I remember looking at Heather (in the hospital) and there was just that moment where I was like, ‘Now I’m going to propose to her,’” O’Meara smiled.
And Saturday, the couple will make it official in their backyard in Horace.
“The one thing I’ve been telling people is if you love someone, if you care about them, just tell them. You might not have tomorrow. I almost didn’t have another day to tell Heather that I love her, but now I do,” O’Meara said.
O’Meara says their nuptials will not only be a celebration of love, but of the life he so desperately fought to keep living.
O’Meara and Brouillet add they want to thank the community for the outpouring support financially and spiritually in the days and weeks after the crash.

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Former Bolivian interim President Jeanine Áñez was sentenced to 10 years in prison Friday on charges linked to her assumption of office in 2019 amid violent protests that led to the resignation and exile of her predecessor, Evo Morales.
Áñez was convicted by the court of dereliction of duty and acting against the constitution when she proclaimed herself president in what Morales and his party have called a coup.
Áñez’s supporters deny it was a coup, saying Morales' alleged abuse of power triggered a legitimate uprising in the streets. The ouster of Bolivia's first Indigenous president and his vice president created a power vacuum that allowed Áñez to assume the interim presidency as second president of the Senate, they claim. The defense said she will appeal the decision.
“I did not lift a finger to become president, but I did what I had to do to pacify a country that Morales left convulsed as he fled,” Áñez said from the prison where she is being held.
Morales stepped down following nationwide protests over suspected vote-rigging in an Oct. 20 election, which he claimed to have won to gain a fourth term in office. Morales has denied there was fraud. The protests left 37 dead and forced Morales to take refuge in Mexico.
His party, known by its initials in Spanish MAS, returned to power in 2020 elections and Morales has since returned to Bolivia.
The trial sets a “historic precedent” against impunity, said MAS deputy Juan José Jáuregui.
The court also sentenced former Armed Forces commander Williams Kaliman and ex-police commander Vladimir Calderon to 10 years in prison. Four other former military chiefs received lesser sentences.
Outside the prison where she was being held about 50 people held posters protesting Áñez.

The Orlando Magic’s defense — which had posted the league’s worst defensive rating (121) entering Monday — was the central focus pregame ahead of their homestand-opening 109-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
While they performed better on that end of the floor, holding the Bucks to what coach Jamahl Mosley said is a range that typically qualifies for a good defensive game, the Magic also gained a better understanding of what high-level defense looks like and why Milwaukee’s is the best rated.
Very little came easy.
Drives were met with resistance. Passing lanes were crowded with active hands, forcing 14 Orlando turnovers. The Bucks got back in transition.
The main area the Magic took advantage of was offensive rebounding, grabbing 15.
But in the end, the Magic (5-20) not knocking down 3s (8 of 32), even open ones, ultimately undid them for their ninth consecutive loss.
After trailing by 19 late in the third, the Magic started to get the stops they needed to make a comeback. They cut the lead to 10 early in the fourth, then 7 in the middle of the quarter.
But they missed the shots they needed to put them over the hump, including back-to-back Caleb Houstan and Terrence Ross misses while the Magic were down 102-97 with less than two minutes remaining.
The Bucks (17-6) cruised to the win from there.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 34 points (12-of-21 shooting), 13 rebounds and 5 assists.
Franz Wagner scored a team-high 25 points while Markelle Fultz added a season-high 20 points, Paolo Banchero had 20 points (4 of 16), 12 rebounds and 7 assists and Moe Wagner recorded 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists before fouling out.
In Mosley’s eyes, a good defensive game is allowing somewhere in the range of 107-108 points.
The Magic allowed 114 or more points in five of their losses during the losing streak.
“If you’re giving up the 120s and 115s, that’s where it becomes tough,” Mosley said. “So we can talk about it cleanly — that’s 2 or 3 [fewer] turnovers. That’s one more rebound. That’s knocking down one more shot, taking away one more 3. You talk about the small gains and things you can do to help your defense get better; those are the pieces.”
Mosley added that focusing on those details on how to turn things around is how he and the coaching staff have managed to keep up the morale.
“It goes back to those small things of helping them understand, when we talk about close, you have to give the definition of what close means,” Mosley said. “It’s the one little thing that helps you understand that every team in the league is going through it like this — whether that’s two losses in a row, three losses in a row or five wins in a row. Every team is having what they’re going through, it’s how you do you continue to talk to the guys about being close and the little things that get you over the hump.”

VERO BEACH, Fla. — Road barricades and construction zones have become a part of daily life for all of us.
Now, residents in Vero Beach are getting prepared for another massive bridge project that will keep those cones up for years.
Carol Kanarek moved to the barrier island in Vero Beach before the 17th Street Bridge, also known as the Alma Lee Loy Bridge, was initially built more than four decades ago.
She’s seen Vero Beach get discovered in recent years.
“We love our visitors, we love our new residents, but it has impacted our travel,” Kanarek said.
She came to Tuesday’s Vero Beach City Council meeting to express her concern about a decision the council had to make.
“To think the bridge could possibly be closed for two and a half years, is an awful thought,” Kanarek said.
F-DOT presented council with two options: an entire shut down of the bridge for more than two and a half years, or reducing traffic to one lane in each direction for more than four years.
Vero Beach Police Chief David Currey said from a public safety standpoint, the more access the better. He added the south county area coming to the bridge already causes backups, even now in the slower summer season.
“We just think some access is better than no access to keep one lane east and west throughout," Currey said. "Like, we’ve done in past with some construction, albeit maybe slow, it won’t cause the congestion that if it was closed over on the barrier island trying to get over.”
The 17th Street bridge carries about 22,000 vehicles per day. In comparison, the State Road 60 bridge, just to the north of the Barber Bridge, carries about 20,000 vehicles per day.
“At the end of the day, you have to pick the least worst option,” Councilwoman Tracey Zudans said.
The city manager told the council once the repair work is done, it should last until 2054.
After a brief discussion, the council voted unanimously to close the bridge only partially, which was a relief to Kanarek.
“We have to have that bridge, and we have to have that bridge open for accessibility,” she said.
The bridge work is scheduled to begin in September.

Whites, rosés and sparkling wines are best served cold and meant to be slowly sipped and savored. The problem is that certain wines warm up when enjoyed leisurely, especially if you’re drinking them outside on hot days. Having an insulated wine tumbler can keep your white wine or rosé at the ideal temperature. While experts’ opinions vary by a few degrees, generally speaking, whites do best between 49-55 degrees, while reds are preferably served between 62-68 degrees.
This is why a tumbler built specifically for wine can be an essential in your cabinet.
Wine tumblers offer an excellent, affordable solution to keeping your poured wine cold for longer. They are more insulated than traditional wine glasses and are shatterproof. They also come with lids to keep bugs from taking a swim in your chardonnay. We recently found a set on Amazon that comes highly rated, at 4.4 out of 5 stars from more than 1,000 users, and is available in several colors for less than $30 a pair.
Host Cooling Wine Freeze Cup with Lid (Set of 2)
This set of two 8.5-ounce stemless wine tumblers with lids allows you to sip wine at their ideal serving temperature and comes in hues including coral, gray, blue and mint. And if you’re not a wine drinker, these tumblers can still be used for any cold drink you like to enjoy in the summer.
For whites or rosés, you will ideally want to freeze the tumblers for two hours before pouring. (There’s a freezable gel in the bottom of the container.) For reds, you’ll want to use the fridge to cool the mugs down for the same amount of time. They’re free of bisphenol A chemicals and suited for outdoor use. There’s even a silicone band around the insulated cup that makes each tumbler easier to hold on to and keeps your hands from getting cold even while drinking your ultra-chilled wine.
One reviewer called the design of these a “genius concept” and said, “My wife and I decided to sample wines on the weekends. We really like cold wine so I decided to try this product. We are now spoiled and can’t enjoy wine without our cooling cups. We sip and it stays ice cold.” Another reviewer claimed they are nice for drinking while sitting in the pool or hot tub.
Other wine tumblers are available on Amazon, but many are stainless steel and pricier, like the Yeti Rambler, which costs $25 for one, or the Simple Modern Gift Set, which includes two tumblers and a vacuum-insulated bottle for $45. Having a glass of wine that stays cold makes outdoor activities on sweltering days more bearable. This set could also make a fun gift for the wine lover in your life.

By nature, Mike DeGeorge doesn't yell at the Colorado Mesa men's basketball team very often.
Saturday night just happened to be one of those nights.
“I yelled at them. And I haven't yelled at them very much this season, have I?” DeGeorge asked guards Blaise Threatt and Isaac Jessup, both of whom shook their heads no. “And I yelled at 'em. That was the basics of it. We just thought it was an effort thing, they were tougher than us in the first half.”
Western Colorado wasn't tougher than the Mavericks in the second half.
The No. 16 Mavericks turned a five-point halftime lead into a 36-point rout, outscoring the Mountaineers 47-16 in the second half in an 82-46 victory at Brownson Arena.
“I wasn't very pleased with the first half, I was very pleased with the second,” DeGeorge said. “Our energy level was different and the execution was different and it made a big difference.
“Blaise really carried us in that first half or we would have been losing and then I thought our defense really fueled our transition and our ability to get out and run in that second half, which is when we're at our best.”
A big part of that second-half defense — and actually from the opening tip — was Jessup. The redshirt sophomore has been solid defensively all season, but Saturday was at his best, shutting down driving lanes, tipping passes away and forcing his man to take tough shots.
“He had a great first half defensively and he's had an incredible season defensively,” DeGeorge said. “He's playing at an incredibly high level at the defensive end. It's one of the better defensive efforts from a season perspective, not only in terms of execution, but then he goes and makes the play, gets the charge, gets the steal.
“I thought he brought tremendous energy and toughness at the defensive end in the first half and then in that second half he was there in spots to make some key plays as other guys picked up their ball pressure it allowed him to get in the gaps and get some steals and create a lot of turnovers.”
He tipped a ball away at the top of the key early in the second half that resulted in a shot clock violation for Western, and made a cope of pin-point passes for layups and dunks by Trevor Baskin, who finished with 16 points, and Mac Riniker, who had eight.
“Scout was definitely part of it, knowing what that team does,” Jessup said of the film study during the week. “Knowing how they set some of their screens, and they shoot a lot, so when we get up on them, they're gonna coming driving and that's the best time to be in the gap, get steals, make plays.”
He finished with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting and hitting both of his 3-point attempts, but in addition to his defensive energy, his passing was crucial.
He had seven of CMU's 20 assists, one fewer than Western had as a team, utilizing Mesa's ball screens to drop dimes as Baskin rolled to the basket.
“I think in the second half we just got some more flow into the offense,” Jessup said. “When we run with pace to these actions, on the second or third side, it's really hard for teams to guard especially if they have to get over on a screen, and then it just opens up that pocket pass.”
Then there was Threatt, the Mavericks' playmaking point guard, who was just two points shy of his career high, scoring 25. He hit four 3-pointers in the first half, all right in front of Western's bench, which was jawing at him early. On one 3, Threatt held his pose for a couple of seconds and glanced to the visiting bench.
“Every time we play Western, they tend to kind of sag off me and try to pack the paint because of how effective I am going to the basket,” Threatt said. “I kind of came with a mindset that I'm gonna have to be able to shoot the ball at a high percentage, so (Friday) night I got up a lot of 3s, worked on spots where I usually shoot during the game so I had a really good rhythm coming into today. They were going under screens and I just knew this was what I've been working for, so just kind of taking what they were giving me.”
Mesa's defensive energy was so high in the second half that Western (3-15, 1-13) made only five field goals in 26 attempts (19.2%) and didn't make a basket in the final 12 minutes, 31 seconds and scored only four points, all free throws, during that spell. The Mountaineers didn't score for 9:38, during which time the Mavericks extended a 58-42 lead to 77-42 — the drought finally ended with a pair of free throws with 2:53 remaining.
“I just thought our energy picked up, our ball pressure picked up,” DeGeorge said, “and that really disrupted their flow. It created some turnovers and some bad shots and long rebounds, and that allowed us to get out and run. Things just cycled in our favor once that defensive energy picked up.”
Mesa's defense allowed Western to shoot only 29.8% and forced 18 turnovers, with 12 steals, converting them to 18 points.
And with the defense turning into offense, CMU scored 21 points in transition, shot 64.5% in the second half and 54.1% for the game.
“Coming into halftime, Coach came in with a lot of energy and we had some people that weren't really focused at halftime, so he kind of lit into us,” Threatt said. “We knew we had to refocus. ...
“Coming into the second half, I don't know how many points they scored, but it was 35-30 and we ended up winning by (almost) 40, so I know they didn't score a lot.”
