Integration Automatically and Accurately Allocates Tool and Equipment Costs to Job Costs, Reducing Worker Down Time and Manual Data Entry
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and the Hilti Group, a global leader providing innovative tools, technology, software, and services to the commercial construction industry, announced today that the Hilti ON!Track asset management system will integrate with Trimble Viewpoint Vista, an ERP solution within the Trimble Construction One suite.
The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions+ Conference.
The integration is Hilti's first North American integration with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, and provides a solution for unified tool tracking and more accurate, automatic job allocation, giving contractors one source of truth for tracking and managing their tools and equipment.
Now instead of having to manually look, call or guess where tools are or how much to invoice based on their use, contractors can more easily track their tools and equipment in one place and automatically know how much—and where—they were used so that an accurate amount of equipment time can be invoiced. This eliminates the need to spend clerical time manually inputting utilization data, and even manually tracking it in the field.
"Our research shows that each jobsite loses on average one day per month of productivity due to workers searching for tools. In addition, the contractors end up spending up to 90 hours per month tracking tools: in essence, productivity loss for both workers and contractors due to lack of an effective asset/tool management platform," said Michael McGowan, region head and CEO of Hilti North America. "Hilti ON!Track, the world leading asset management solution, helps eliminate this by tracking tools using field-ready active and passive tags, Bluetooth technology and Gateways. An integration between ON!Track and Viewpoint Vista maximizes the benefits of asset/tool tracking data by automatically providing contractors the information they need to track, allocate, bill and estimate for accurate tool and equipment use."
The tracking of tools and equipment use and costs in one centralized place better prevents equipment loss and theft. It also eliminates the need to manually enter tool use and costs, which are often subject to double entry and human error.
"We know that contractors have a lot to manage already, and that equipment is one of their most important assets," said Lawrence Smith, vice president and general manager of construction management solutions at Trimble. "This integration is yet another way we are automating and connecting data for contractors, which streamlines workflows and helps contractors more efficiently deploy their people and assets to build profitable projects."
"Tracking small tools—whether in repair status, on location or with employees and the associated costs—is one of the most ineffective parts of accounting and internal controls in a construction company," said Maria Lumke, CFO of Waterline Industries, a New Hampshire-based civil general contractor. "We have tried many things, including inventorying vans, assigning tools to employees and assigning tools to jobs – to no avail. The product Trimble and Hilti have developed will be a revolutionary step for internal controls and accountability of tools in a construction company."
"Hilti ON!Track has greatly reduced the 'run to the store and buy what you need' when we already own and have tools nearby," said Keeley O'Brien, president and CEO of O'Brien Co., an Oregon-based general contractor. "It takes mere seconds to transfer tools in the field, eliminating excuses about not having the right tools because no one knows where they are. It's made it very easy to inventory, track history, and locate tools and equipment."
Connecting Hilti ON!Track to Trimble Construction One is another way Trimble serves stakeholders across the entire construction lifecycle, providing visibility into true project costs and correct resource allocations so they get the right information at the right time to make the right decisions.
The Hilti Group supplies the worldwide construction and energy industries with technologically leading products, systems, software and services. With about 32,000 team members in over 120 countries the company stands for direct customer relationships, quality, and innovation.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts Air National Guard member charged with leaking highly classified military documents will remain behind bars while he awaits trial, a federal magistrate judge ruled Friday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy said releasing 21-year-old Jack Teixeira would pose a risk that he would attempt to flee the country or obstruct justice. The judge cited Teixeira’s “fascination with guns,” disturbing online statements and admonitions by Teixeira’s military superiors about his handling of sensitive information before his arrest.
The ruling comes after prosecutors revealed that Teixeira had a history of violent rhetoric, and was caught by fellow military members months before his arrest taking notes on classified information or viewing intelligence not related to his job.
Teixeira is accused of sharing classified military documents on Discord, a social media platform popular with people playing online games. The stunning breach exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments on Russia’s war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations and other national security issues.
The judge said the case represented “a profound breach of the defendant’s word that he would protect information related to the security of the United States.”
“Who did he put at risk? I mean, you could make a list as long as a phone book,” Hennessy said, including military personnel, medical workers overseas and Ukrainian citizens.
The judge indicated that he found persuasive prosecutors’ arguments that U.S. adversaries who might be interested in mining Teixeira for information could facilitate his escape.
“Foreign countries know that this defendant was disloyal to the United States,” the judge said. “It doesn’t seem implausible at all that a foreign government would make an overture to this defendant to get information.”
Teixeira appeared to show no emotion as he was lead out of the courtroom in handcuffs and orange jail clothes. He smiled at his father sitting in the front as he walked into the hearing in Worcester, Massachusetts, federal court.
Teixeira can appeal the judge’s ruling, and Hennessy told him “another judge could come to a different conclusion.” The judge said the support of Teixeira’s family — who have attended every court hearing — is a compelling reason to release the man, but his concerns outweigh that.
In a statement after the hearing, Teixeira’s family said it was disappointed with the outcome but “we realize there is a long road ahead of us all, and Jack’s wellbeing and safety is our priority right now. As a family, we are as committed as ever and remain steadfast and determined in our complete support of Jack as we continue to wade through this process.”
The high-profile case is being prosecuted by the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office, whose leader — U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins — resigned on Friday after two federal watchdog agencies found she committed a slew of ethical and legal violations.
Teixeira has been behind bars since his April 13 arrest on charges, under the Espionage Act, of unauthorized retention and transmission of classified national defense information. He has not yet entered a plea.
Prosecutors had urged the judge to keep Teixeira jailed, in part because of his arsenal of weapons and history of online statements, including one social media post from last November saying that, if he had his way, he would like to kill a “ton of people” because it would be “culling the weak minded.”
His lawyers had pressed the judge to release him to his father, saying he has no criminal history and strong family support to ensure he shows up in court. His lawyer said last month that he has “nowhere to flee” and “will answer the charges” against him.
Prosecutors have detailed a troubling history going back to high school, where Teixeira was suspended in 2018 when a classmate overheard him discussing Molotov cocktails and other weapons as well as racial threats. His initial application for a firearms identification card that same year was denied due to police concerns over those remarks.
He regularly made statements about violence and murder on social media, and also used his government computer to research past mass shootings and standoffs with federal agents, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors said he also kept his gun locker within reach of his bed and in it were handguns, bolt-action rifles, shotguns, an AK-style high-capacity weapon and a gas mask.
Teixeira’s father told the judge that he removed all the guns from his home and would ensure that his son followed his pretrial conditions if he were released. Teixeira’s lawyer argued that despite the statements highlighted by prosecutors he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk.
Prosecutors revealed in court papers filed this week that Teixeira’s superiors had raised concerns in the months before his arrest about his mishandling of classified information.
He was twice admonished by superiors in September and October, and was again observed in February viewing information “that was not related to his primary duty and was related to the intelligence field,” according to internal Air National Guard memos filed in court.
The revelations have raised questions about why Teixeira continued to have access to military secrets after what prosecutors described as “concerning actions” related to his handling of classified information.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh was questioned Thursday about why Teixeira’s leaders did not take action after the concerns were raised. Singh referred to the Justice Department and Air Force investigations, and said those concerns and the potential lack of response to them were among the areas the inquiries would examine.

NEW YORK (AP) — San Francisco left-hander Carlos Rodón, Boston designated hitter J.D. Martinez and Miami first baseman Garrett Cooper were added Tuesday for next week’s All-Star Game.
They replaced Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper and Houston’s Yordan Álvarez, who are hurt, and Milwaukee closer Josh Hader, who is skipping the July 19 game at Dodger Stadium because of family responsibilities.
Rodón made the All-Star team for the second straight season. He is 8-5 with a 2.70 ERA in 17 starts, striking out 124 and walking 32 in 100 innings.
Martinez, 34, is a five-time All-Star who is hitting .313 with nine homers, 38 RBIs and 29 doubles, tied for the American League lead. He earned a $100,000 bonus for his selection.
Cooper, 31, becomes the 31st first-time All-Star this year. He is batting .299 with seven homers and 40 RBIs.
Martinez and Cooper each were next in player voting. Rodón was selected by Major League Baseball.
Hader spent a week on the paternity list in June after his son, Lucas, was born. His wife, Maria, had complications with her pregnancy.
“A lot on his plate, for sure, these last six weeks,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said in Minneapolis before a two-game series against the Twins. “The All-Star Game’s a great honor, and it’s not an easy choice.”
Said Hader: “I think my duty is to be with my family, and I think just to be ready for the second half. My family needs me at this time, and that’s just kind of the decision that we made.”
Harper was elected as the National League’s designated hitter but broke his left thumb when hit by a pitch from San Diego’s Blake Snell on June 25. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Atlanta’s William Contreras.
Álvarez went on the injured list Sunday because of a ailing right hand that has gotten worse since he first got hurt June 18 against the Chicago White Sox.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai International Airport passenger numbers surpassed pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in the third quarter of 2022, the airport’s chief executive said, causing the airport to revise its annual forecast by another 1 million passengers.
Paul Griffiths, who oversees the world’s busiest airport, told The Associated Press the annual forecast at Dubai International, or DXB, is more than 64 million. The airport saw 18.5 million passengers in the third quarter of this year, up from 17.8 million during the first quarter of 2020 — prior to and at the dawn of the pandemic. Most of the growth, he said, comes from the traditional markets of India, UK, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Griffiths added that the end of COVID-19 testing requirements and people’s eagerness to travel have contributed to the increase.
“Recovery is very much on the agenda and has been a phenomenon here ever since the end of the pandemic,” Griffiths said.
The new numbers are welcome news for the tourism-driven economy of Dubai, which accounts for about 12% of the tiny nation’s GDP. A year ago in the third quarter, 6.7 million came through the airport.
Still the figure is nowhere near the pre-pandemic milestone of 86.4 million in annual traffic logged by the airport in 2019.
The 46 million passengers who traveled through DXB in the first nine months of this year represent 72% of the airport’s pre-pandemic levels. Griffiths says they expect to reach pre-pandemic levels annually by 2023.
The largest share of traffic to Dubai came from India, with 6.8 million travelers, followed by Saudi Arabia, with 3.4 million travelers this year. A key growth market for travel to and from Dubai is Pakistan and the U.S.
The UAE is home to more than 100,000 British citizens. Dubai’s main airport logged 3.2 million passengers from the U.K. up to September this year, making it the third largest share of traffic numbers.
Around 60% of Dubai’s airport traveler figures this year represent arrivals, with the rest transiting through.
The first World Cup in the Middle East, currently taking place in Qatar, says Griffiths, is expected to add 494,000 passengers to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) during the fourth quarter of the year. Currently, 120 daily flights are operational from DWC for FIFA fans to shuttle between matches in Doha and Dubai.
Qatar Airways has 60 daily flights to shuttle soccer fans to the tournament, while the other 60 are operated by low-cost carrier FlyDubai, he said.
Ambitious plans to turn the airfield in Dubai’s southern desert into a mega-aviation hub, first unveiled by Dubai before the 2008 global financial crisis, have sputtered in recent years. Long-haul carrier Emirates, based in Dubai, parked many of its double-decker Airbus A380s there during the pandemic as commercial flights halted.
Now, Griffiths says the air travel market continues to rebound around the world, with more people traveling as mobility returns to the world.
This year, 275,000 flights went through DXB, up 159% from 2021.
The widespread lifting of virus restrictions in Dubai triggered a rapid increase in air travel demand, filling Dubai’s hub. Griffiths says that has also contributed positively to the city’s economy | https://www.yourbasin.com/business/ap-dubai-airport-chief-says-passengers-top-pre-pandemic-level/ | 2022-11-22 12:14:44 | 0 | https://www.yourbasin.com/business/ap-dubai-airport-chief-says-passengers-top-pre-pandemic-level/ |

VIENNA (AP) — Austrian police warned Wednesday of a possible “Islamist-motivated attack” in Vienna against churches, citing undisclosed information received by the country's intelligence service.
Police in Vienna tweeted that they had heightened security in front of certain buildings and increased the presence of officers in the Austrian capital.
“There is a nonspecific threat of an assault against churches,” Vienna police tweeted. “As (a) precautionary measure ... points of interest have been put under increased guard by regular and special operation police forces.”
“If there is a concrete danger for the population at a concrete location, Vienna police will warn immediately via all available channels,” police added.
The police department said it could not predict how long their security measures would be in place.
“Police officers are equipped with bulletproof helmets and vests and assault rifles. They will carry out surveillance activities and also carry out checks in road traffic,” police spokesperson Markus Dittrich told local radio station Radio Wien.
He did not give further details on the background of the threat but said more police officers would be patrolling in the vicinity of churches. Police asked people not to post images or video of deployed police officers on social media.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Vienna told The Associated Press that Catholic churches did not appear to be the main target.
“We do not appear to be primarily affected,” Michael Prueller said. “While we were informed by police about the general threat, we were also told that there is no imminent danger for Catholics. So we decided to keep out churches open to the public and celebrate all church services as planned for the time being."
Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral was packed with the faithful and tourists on Wednesday.
More than half of Austria's population is Roman Catholic, making it the country's biggest religious denomination. There are also smaller communities of Lutheran Christians, immigrant groups that identify as Orthodox Christians, as well as Muslims and Jews.
In 2020, a man who had previously tried to join the Islamic State group rampaged in Vienna armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, shooting dead four people before he was killed by police.

LUND, Sweden, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia AB (NASDAQ Stockholm: IMMNOV) announced, that Immunovia, Inc., its American subsidiary, has recently received approval for a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code from the American Medical Association (AMA) for the IMMray™ PanCan-d test. The code will be effective on October 1, 2022. Immunovia is currently in process with the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish payment for IMMray™ PanCan-d with this PLA code which will be included in the 2023 CMS Clinical Lab Fee Schedule.
"We are very pleased that the AMA has approved a unique CPT PLA code for our IMMray™ PanCan-d test. This is an important step in our ongoing efforts to secure reimbursement for our test," says Philipp Mathieu, CEO and President of Immunovia AB.
The CPT codes offer doctors and health care professionals a uniform language for coding medical services and procedures. It is the most widely accepted medical nomenclature used in the US to report physician and healthcare professional services including laboratory tests under public and private health insurance programs.
PLA Codes are an addition to the CPT code set approved by the AMA CPT Editorial Panel. They are alpha-numeric CPT codes with a corresponding descriptor for laboratories or manufacturers that want to identify their test more specifically.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Republicans have claimed key victories in state Supreme Court races that will give them an advantage in major redistricting fights, while Democrats notched similarly significant wins with help from groups focused on defending abortion access.
The expensive fights over court control in several states in Tuesday’s election highlight just how partisan the formerly low-key judicial races have become. Observers say they’re a sign of what to expect as legal battles over abortion, voting rights and other issues are being fought at the state level.
“Nothing about this election suggests to me that we’re going to see these races quiet down anytime soon,” said Douglas Keith, counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s law school, which tracks spending in judicial races.
About $97 million was spent on state Supreme Court elections during the 2019-2020 election cycle, according to the Brennan Center. Once this year’s numbers are tallied, spending records are expected to be shattered in some of the 25 states that had races targeted by groups on the right and the left.
One of the biggest players was the Republican State Leadership Committee, which focused heavily on the court races in North Carolina and Ohio.
“Republican wins in the Tarheel State and Buckeye State ensure that the redistricting fights ahead in those states within the next decade are ruled on by strong conservatives who will follow the Constitution and don’t believe it’s their role to draw maps from the bench,” said Dee Duncan, president of the committee’s Judicial Fairness Initiative.
North Carolina’s court flipped from a 4-3 Democrat majority to 5-2 Republican Tuesday night. The court in recent years has issued decisions favoring the Democratic majority in cases involving redistricting, criminal justice, education funding and voter ID laws.
At least $15 million was spent on those races, with more than $8 million from two super PACS — one on the left that focused primarily on abortion and one on the right that focused on crime. Despite the outside groups’ involvement, candidates ran on a similar platform of keeping personal politics out of the courtroom.
“Now, we’ll be watching to make sure that the justices sitting in those seats follow through on those promises,” said Ann Webb, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina.
In Ohio, Republicans maintained their 4-3 majority on the court, with two GOP justices fending off challenges and a sitting Republican winning her bid for chief justice. The state’s GOP governor, Mike DeWine, will appoint a justice to fill the resulting vacancy.
The results may expand the conservative bent of the court even further, with cases regarding the state’s six-week abortion ban and redistricting on the horizon. Republican Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, who did not seek reelection, has sided with court’s three Democrats on high profile cases.
But Democratic groups working to protect abortion rights ramped up efforts to defend seats after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and saw victories in several other parts of the country.
In Illinois, which is surrounded by states with abortion bans that took effect after Roe was overturned, groups pushing to retain the state’s Democrat court majority had warned a GOP takeover could result in similar threats to access.
“I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t think abortion was the critical issue in these races,” Terry Cosgrove, president and CEO of Personal PAC, an abortion rights group that spent nearly $3 million supporting the Democrats in the races.
In Michigan, Democrats maintained their 4-3 majority on the Supreme Court after incumbent justices from opposing parties who had split on a key abortion ruling won reelection. Michigan’s high court races are officially nonpartisan, though the state’s political parties nominate candidates.
Democratic-backed Justice Richard Bernstein, who voted with the court’s majority to put an abortion rights amendment on the ballot, won reelection along with Republican Justice Brian Zahra, who voted against it. Voters approved the measure Tuesday.
“The Michigan Supreme Court election was critical especially since we didn’t know what the status of (the abortion rights amendment) would be,” said Ashlea Phenicie, communications director for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, which spent nearly $1 million on the races.
Kansas voters kept all six state Supreme Court justices who were on the ballot for separate yes-or-no votes on whether they remained on the bench another six years. The state’s most influential anti-abortion group, Kansans for Life, pushed to remove five of them, largely over the court’s 2019 decision declaring access to abortion a “fundamental” right under the Kansas Constitution.
Two of the six court members on the ballot were part of the 6-1 majority in that 2019 decision. Voters also retained the court’s most conservative member, the only dissenter in the 2019 abortion decision.
Republican bids for court seats failed in even some of the most conservative parts of the country.
Kentucky Supreme Court Justice Michelle Keller defeated Joseph Fischer, a Republican lawmaker who sponsored the state’s “trigger law” ending abortion following Roe’s reversal. Fischer also was the lead sponsor of an anti-abortion constitutional amendment that voters rejected Tuesday.
Supreme Court Justice Robin Wynne in Arkansas, which has had some of the most contentious judicial races over the years, fended off a challenge from District Judge Chris Carnahan, a former executive director of the state Republican Party.
Arkansas’ court seats are nonpartisan, but Carnahan had touted himself as a conservative and had the endorsement of the state GOP. A group formed by a Republican lawmaker ran TV ads calling Wynne, who served as a Democrat in the state Legislature in the 1980s, a liberal.
An unprecedented partisan pitch by Montana Republicans to install a party loyalist on that state’s Supreme Court also fell short, with Justice Ingrid Gustafson defeating challenger James Brown, who had the backing of Gov. Greg Gianforte and other top Republicans. The unusually expensive campaign came as the court is preparing to hear challenges over Montana’s abortion restrictions and voting access.
Gustafson called her win a sign that voters were more interested in experience than ideology.
“The people in Montana think our judiciary is doing a good job and it is a very, very small minority that has some sort of other agenda,” she said.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose, among other things, that: (1) there were capital spending budget overruns; (2) defendants failed to address weaknesses that allowed such budget overruns; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice.

The GM6900WTC22-9 celebrates Wu-Tang Clan's 30th anniversary, nearly half a century after the culture-disrupting hip-hop genre was birthed

Whether hanging around in the "Mysterious Land of Shaolin," Staten Island, New York, where the group formed, or any other region, the impact of their music has a lasting presence due to the group's influence on new rappers from the West Coast to the South.
The GM6900WTC22-9 offers the absolute toughness you expect from a G-SHOCK and will remain a staple in street fashion, just as Wu-Tang Clan remains a household name in hip-hop.

BANGKOK (AP) — Following a stunning election victory in which they together captured a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, Thailand’s top two opposition parties began planning Monday for the next stage in their bid to replace the military-dominated government.
The Move Forward Party, led by 42-year-old businessman Pita Limjaroenrat, placed first in the election, surpassing most expectations. It squeaked past the Pheu Thai party, which had been favored to top the polls.
Pheu Thai stumbled despite the star power of Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra, the former populist prime minister who was toppled by a 2006 military coup and is the driving force behind the party.
“The overwhelming electoral victory by Move Forward and Pheu Thai is a decisive sign that voters want a polity where the people, not the military, decide their future,” said Tyrell Haberkorn, a Thai studies scholar at the University of Wisconsin.
“Voters want a Thailand with free speech, without compulsory military conscription, and where the people’s voices are valued, not something to be silenced or bought,” she said.
Pita said Monday he has been talking to five other parties about forming a coalition government. It would have 309 House seats in total, providing more stability than the 292-seat partnership with Pheu Thai as a sole ally. Parliament selects a new prime minister in July, so has about two months to seal a deal.
Move Forward’s supporters drove through the streets of Bangkok on Monday afternoon to celebrate their victory. Pita smiled broadly and waved as a convoy of open trucks took him and other party members slowly through the streets of the old part of the capital.
Thailand for the past nine years has been led by former army commander Prayuth Chan-ocha, who seized power in a 2014 military coup and was returned as prime minister after the 2019 election. He ran for reelection on Sunday, but has been blamed for a lagging economy, a botched initial response to the coronavirus pandemic and for thwarting democratic reforms — a particular sore point with younger voters.
“The sentiment of the era has changed and it’s right,” Pita said Monday. “And today it’s a new day and hopefully it’s full of bright sunshine of hope going forward.”
Earlier, as it became clear his party was taking the lead, he tweeted that he is ready to bring about change as the country’s 30th prime minister. “Whether you agree or disagree with me, I will be your prime minister. Whether you have voted for me or not, I will serve you.”
Move Forward and Pheu Thai are mostly allied in their opposition to the military’s recurring interference in politics, demonstrated by more than a dozen coups it has staged since 1932, when Thailand became a constitutional monarchy, and most recently in 2006 and 2014.
Both parties also favor reform of some aspects of the monarchy, a position that riles the conservative royalist establishment that regards the institution as sacrosanct. Because Move Forward has been more outspoken on the subject, it is regarded as radical in the context of mainstream Thai politics.
With almost all votes counted Monday, Move Forward had captured a projected 151 seats in the lower house by winning over 24% of the popular vote for 400 constituency seats, and more than 36% of the votes for the 100 seats allocated by proportional representation.
Pheu Thai party trailed a close second with its combined seat total projected at 141.
Prayuth’s United Thai Nation Party holds fifth spot in the constituency vote and third in the party-preference tally, for a projected total of 36 seats.
Although the numbers place Pita in a favorable position for becoming the next prime minister, he faces a difficult path.
Candidates are handicapped by constitutional rules crafted by the military government to restrain political parties with populist appeals from taking root and upending the long-established conservative order.
The prime minister is elected by a joint session of the 500 members of the newly elected House and 250 senators, who were appointed by the military. The winner must secure at least 376 votes.
The Senate, a stalwart defender of the royalist order along with the army and the courts, voted unanimously for Prayuth in 2019, enabling him to overcome Pheu Thai’s first-place finish and form a coalition government.
There is a strong possibility that Pita will be seen as too radical by some partner parties, and they will have to look for a more moderate candidate.
Pheu Thai’s Paetongtarn is the most popular choice of her party base. But her ties to her father, Thaksin, with whom the military has never reconciled since ousting him in 2006, would make winning any support from the Senate difficult. One of Pheu Thai’s other candidates for prime minister, real estate magnate Srettha Thavisin, would stand a better chance in that case.
There are also fears the conservative elements in Thai politics would again employ what critics consider to be dirty tricks to keep a hold on power. Since Thaksin’s fall, they have repeatedly used the courts and so-called independent state agencies such as the Election Commission to issue controversial legal rulings to cripple or sink political threats from opponents. Such efforts would likely stir up vigorous street protests.
“Is the form of coalition that Pita proposed, with 309 seats, stable enough? In a democratic world, it’s the most stable. But in a world of half-dictatorship that has the Senate as an important variable, Move Forward must lever the Senate with the people’s voices,” said Pinkaew Laungaramsri, a professor of anthropology at Chiang Mai University.
“We have to wait and see whether the authoritarians will dare using their illegitimate authorities that go against the will of the people. If they do that, it’s just creating a condition for the people to go back onto the streets,(asterisk) she said.

Police: Heroic employee confronted gunman in Oregon grocery store shooting, likely saving others
An employee who was killed in a shooting at a Safeway supermarket in Bend, Oregon, attacked the gunman in the produce section and tried to disarm him, likely preventing more deaths, authorities said Monday.
The 66-year-old employee, identified as Donald Ray Surrett Jr., of Bend, was hailed as a hero by police at a news conference. Surrett and a customer, 84-year-old Glenn Edward Bennett, also of Bend, were killed Sunday evening. Two others were injured.
“Mr. Surrett engaged with the shooter, attempted to disarm him and may very well have prevented further deaths. Mr. Surrett acted heroically turning this terrible event,” Bend Police spokeswoman Sheila Miller said at a news conference as she struggled against tears.
Police said Monday the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was near an AR-15-style weapon and a shotgun. Police identified the gunman as Ethan Blair Miller, 20, of Bend.
The gunman lived in an apartment complex behind The Forum Shopping Center. Witnesses said he began shooting Sunday evening as soon as he left the complex and continued firing as he entered the shopping complex's parking lot and then went into the Safeway.
Bennett was killed at the store's entrance, police said, and the shooter then moved through the aisles “spraying shots” from the assault rifle until Surrett confronted him in the back of the store in the produce section. The entire incident — from the first 911 calls to officers discovering the suspect dead in the store — unfolded in four minutes, Miller said.
Police entered the supermarket from the front and rear as shots were still being fired.
Bend Mayor Pro Tem Anthony Broadman said Americans “need to guard against the cynicism of thinking of these attacks on order and peace as regular, unavoidable things. I won’t accept that.”
“We know that in the face of the kind of chaos that we saw last night, we had brave first responders, brave citizens, people willing to stand up for their neighbors,” he added.
Authorities later found three Molotov cocktails and a sawed-off shotgun in the shooter's car. The Oregon State Police bomb squad was called in to sweep the store, the car and the suspect's apartment for explosives, authorities said, forcing the evacuation of eight surrounding apartments on Monday morning.
Miller said reports that there was a second shooter were not true. She said reports of other shootings around Bend at the same time were also false.
Authorities are seeking a search warrant to comb through online materials on an unspecified number of digital devices they found at the shooter's apartment but declined to comment on reports that the suspect posted his plans online in advance. Bend police are working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine where the suspect got his weapons and if he did so legally, Miller said.
“We are aware that the shooter may have posted information online regarding his plan. We’re investigating this,” she said. "We have no evidence of previous threats or prior knowledge of the shooter. We received information about the shooter’s writings after the incident had taken place. And the shooter has no criminal history in the area.”
Those who were in the Safeway on Sunday described panic and chaos as the shooting unfolded.
Josh Caba, a shopper in the store, told KTVZ he was with his four children when he heard multiple shots.
“I immediately turned to my children and said, ‘Run!’ People were screaming,” Caba told the news outlet. “It was a horrifying experience.”
Oregon's elected leaders reacted to the shooting Monday with pledges to fight for more gun control.
“America cannot just shrug its shoulders at another mass shooting with loved ones grieving the loss of family and friends,” U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, tweeted.
Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, said in a statement that the shooting was one of several in Oregon over weekend and that “Oregonians deserve to be safe from gun violence.”
Oregon residents will vote in November on one of the strictest gun-control measures in the nation. If passed, Measure 114 would ban large capacity magazines over 10 rounds — except for current owners, law enforcement and the military — and require a permit to purchase any gun.
To qualify for a permit, an applicant would need to complete an approved firearm safety course, pay a fee, provide personal information, submit to fingerprinting and photographing and pass a criminal background check. The state police would create a firearms database.
Bend is a city of about 97,000 approximately 160 miles southeast of Portland, Oregon.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James has had the better of his matchups against Kansas City's Travis Kelce over the years. The one time he didn't, though, ended up being the most painful.
James allowed his first touchdown to Kelce at the worst possible time Sunday night. Kelce's 17-yard TD reception came with 31 seconds remaining as the Chiefs rallied for a 30-27 victory over their AFC West rivals.
“It was a man-to-pick route. They ran a good play. Executed it," James said. "He ran a drag route and was running away from my leverage. When I did try to catch up the dude got in my way. I got to make that play. That is what they pay me to do.
“That one hurts. That is a tough one especially against that team.”
Coming into the game, James had covered Kelce on 36 snaps over their six matchups since 2018 according to Next Gen Stats. Kelce had been targeted seven times and had only four receptions for 14 yards.
Against the rest of the Chargers’ defenders over the same period, Kelce had 45 receptions for 605 yards and four touchdowns.
“He’s one of the best in the league He got the better of me the majority of the game,” Kelce said about James. “I knew he was sitting on my outside shoulder. Coach Reid saw that, he had me get across the field and beat him.”
It was the third straight year the Chargers had a late lead against the Chiefs at home, only to come up empty.
In 2020, Michael Badgley kicked a field goal with 2:27 remaining to give the Bolts a 20-17 lead. Harrison Butker then kicked a field goal as time expired to force overtime before making a 58-yarder to give the Chiefs a 23-20 win.
Last year, Kelce had a pair of touchdowns — late in regulation and then in overtime — for a 34-28 victory.
“They made a few plays. We contested the whole series," coach Brandon Staley said. "We just didn’t rush or cover well enough to finish it.”
The Chargers have not won a home game against the Chiefs since 2013.
The one thing the Chargers can take out of the game is that their offense looked better with the return of receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, who had been out the last two games.
Allen, playing only his third game due to a nagging hamstring injury, had five receptions for 94 yards. That included a 46-yard catch in the fourth quarter to put the ball on the Chiefs 16-yard line. Four plays later, Justin Herbert connected with Joshua Palmer on a 6-yard touchdown to give the Chargers what proved to be a short-lived 27-23 lead.
“It felt great. Fun. It was fun,” Allen said.
Williams' return was short lived. He had one catch for 15 yards and departed after reinjuring his right ankle in the first quarter.
“It’s part of the NFL. Injuries are common in the NFL and you have to battle through them. It’s adversity that you have to deal with," said Herbert, who went 23 of 30 for 280 yards and two touchdowns.
Even though the Chargers are 5-5, only two of their remaining seven games are against teams with a winning record.
“We have to stay connected. We have to put this one behind us, learn from it. Get some guys rested and get some guys back, which is going to happen," Staley said. "We’re 10 games into the season. We’re 5-5. Everything is in front of us. We have to make improvements and it starts this week with Arizona.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt suffered a pectoral injury in the fourth quarter of the team’s game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Watt, the Defensive Player of the Year, left the field and headed to the locker room shortly before the game went to overtime. Before the injury, he was his usual disruptive self, with a sack and an interception.
He tied the NFL single-season sacks record with 22 1/2 last season despite missing two games.

WASHINGTON – Toy company Mattel revealed its first Barbie doll representing a person with Down syndrome on Tuesday.
Mattel collaborated with the National Down Syndrome Society to create the Barbie and “ensure the doll accurately represents a person with Down syndrome,” the company said.
Design features of the new Barbie were made under guidance from NDSS, Mattel said. In addition to portraying some physical characteristics of a person with Down syndrome, the Barbie's clothing and accessories carry special meaning.
The blue and yellow on the doll's dress, accompanied by butterflies, represent symbols and colors associated with Down syndrome awareness. And the three chevrons on the Barbie's necklace represent how people with Down syndrome have three copies of their 21st chromosome, Mattel said.
In addition, the Barbie wears ankle foot orthotics, which some children with Down syndrome use.
“This means so much for our community, who for the first time, can play with a Barbie doll that looks like them," NDSS President and CEO Kandi Pickard said in a statement. “This Barbie serves as a reminder that we should never underestimate the power of representation.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome is the “most common chromosomal condition” diagnosed in the U.S. today. About 6,000 babies are born across the country each year with Down syndrome, the CDC said.
Barbie's new doll representing a person with Down syndrome is part of Mattel's 2023 Fashionistas line, which is aimed at increasing diversity and inclusivity. Previous dolls that have been introduced to the Fashionistas line include a Ken doll with a prosthetic leg, a Barbie with hearing aids and dolls with a skin condition called vitiligo.
“We are proud to introduce a Barbie doll with Down syndrome to better reflect the world around us and further our commitment to celebrating inclusion through play,” Lisa McKnight, executive vice president and global head of Barbie and Dolls at Mattel, said in a statement. | https://www.wsls.com/news/2023/04/25/mattel-introduces-first-barbie-with-down-syndrome/ | 2023-04-26 14:09:41 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/2023/04/25/mattel-introduces-first-barbie-with-down-syndrome/ |

The Atlantic Coast and Southeastern conferences have led the way among the so-called power leagues in hiring coaches of color to lead women’s basketball programs.
The two conferences each have five Black head coaches, including three women changing jobs in the most recent cycle: Texas A&M’s Joni Taylor, Syracuse’s Felisha Legette-Jack and Virginia’s Amaka Agugua-Hamilton. Four of the ACC coaches are Black women while Virginia Tech's Kenny Brooks is the only Black male head coach of a women's team at a Power Five school.
The total number doesn't suggest a major shift over the past two seasons across 65 Power Five schools with 14 Black women being in charge of teams — up one from 2021. That's less than 22% of the total in a sport that was played by more Black athletes (40.7%) than any other race, according to a report with data from the 2020-21 season.
Still, hiring trends are leaning towards more equality with five of the 12 openings in the Power Five conferences this past offseason going to women of color.
“It’s a very solid number,” Richard Lapchick, who is the head of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida, said of the ACC and SEC. “If that persisted over a number of years, I think there would be a lot of happy black women head coaches spread across the Power Five conferences that aren’t there now.”
Lapchick also pointed to the fact that the ACC has two Black female athletic directors (at Duke and at Virginia). The SEC also has two female minority ADs, at Vanderbilt and Missouri.
“I think there is something to be said about leaders making decisions,” Duke AD Nina King said. “You have a diverse group and you'll bring a diverse group of coaches to the table.”
King said that the conversations need to continue: “We need to understand what the barriers are and why aren't there more Black women getting hired. We need to knock down the barriers.”
The Pac-12 and Big Ten have been giving more Black women a chance. Three of the last four hires in the Pac-12 have been women of color and two of the last three in the Big Ten. The Big 12 has no Black coaches of its women's basketball teams after four hirings over the past two seasons.
“There needs to be more opportunity, it should be equal opportunity," Agugua-Hamilton said. ”And obviously, statistics have shown that that’s been a little skewed. So I like to see that the times are changing a little bit and more people are getting opportunities, including myself."
Lapchick pointed to the success of Dawn Staley, who became the first Black coach, male or female. to win two national championships. She was rewarded last year by South Carolina with one of the biggest contracts in women's basketball history, a landmark $22.4 million, seven-year contract.
“I think Dawn getting a million-dollar contract was one of the biggest breakthroughs in women’s sports,” he said. “Long overdue, but it actually happened. So this is going to be good for other women following in her footsteps, not just there but around the country at other schools as well.”
Staley has been happy to see the door open for more Black women.
“There is an influx of Black women getting opportunities,” she said. “Black women are getting more chances to be the head honcho of their programs. I hope we can continue to be successful.”
Staley has inspired other Black coaches not just with what she's done on the court, but also what she's done off it, by sending them a piece of her championship net from 2017.
“Dawn Staley is a staple for women of color,” Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey said. “She talks about it, she had the net that she sent out to everyone just to empower all the female head coaches. And I think just having opportunity, understanding how much how much representation really does matter, I think is powerful. I definitely think we’re trending in the right direction. And I think it’s a positive thing.”
Ivey wants to continue what Staley has done.
“I want to do a great job because I want my opportunity to be able to extend to someone else,” she said. “Obviously you don’t want to fail and then the tide changes. It’s not something that I think about as far as pressure. I’m blessed to be in this role. I’m going do my best because I love what I do and I love this university. And I’m hoping that my work speaks for itself.”

All-NBA center Domantas Sabonis wasn’t a free agent this summer. And he won’t be for the next few summers, either.
Sabonis has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Sacramento Kings, one that will keep him signed through the 2027-28 season, a person with knowledge of the talks confirmed Sunday.
The extension includes a raise on his salary for this coming season to nearly $31 million, and his salary for the four subsequent years will average about $47 million, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the signing.
The total value of the deal is about $217 million. ESPN first reported the agreement on Saturday night, and The Sacramento Bee subsequently confirmed it as well.
It was part of a big-spending start to free agency this summer: Counting free agent deals that have been struck, signings of this year’s rookie class and extensions, NBA teams have combined to hand out more than $3 billion in contract value since Friday night.
Sabonis would have been in line to hit the free agent market in the summer of 2024, but the Kings ensured that won’t be happening. He’s a huge part of the Kings’ current surge; the team made the playoffs this past season for the first time since 2006 and have the entirety of their starting five — Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray — coming back.
Sabonis is a three-time All-Star who averaged 19.1 points and a league-high 12.3 rebounds per game this past season, earning the All-NBA nod for the first time.
Utah was finalizing an extension for guard Jordan Clarkson on Sunday as well, a second person told the AP on condition of anonymity because it had not been signed. It will have a total value of $55 million over the next three years, the person said; Clarkson had opted into a contract that would have paid him $14.3 million this coming season and now will average about $18.3 million over three years.
Clarkson averaged a career-high 20.8 points for the Jazz this past season, and the extension will push his on-court earnings well past $100 million for his career.

In one video, Tyre Nichols is about 17 years old, skating along a mini ramp as the sun paints his hometown of Sacramento, Calif., bright orange. In another clip, Nichols trips off his skateboard while practicing a trick but remains unfazed. Instead, he tries again and again until he eventually gets it right.
Nichols' childhood friend, Austin Robert, recorded these videos more than a decade ago. At the time, filming was simply a creative outlet for Robert, Nichols and their small circle of friends.
But recently, the recordings have taken on new meaning. One video in particular has been shared countless times on social media in an effort to remember Nichols' life — not just his death or the harrowing way he was killed.
"I want him to be remembered as the kid smiling in the skate video and not the kid that was fighting for his life," Robert said.
Nichols, a father of a 4-year-old son and FedEx worker, died on Jan. 10 in Memphis after being brutally beaten by five Memphis police officers at a traffic stop three days earlier. He was 29 years old. The officers have since been fired, arrested and charged with his murder. They are scheduled to appear for a bond arraignment on Feb.17.
Over the past few weeks, people across the country braced themselves for footage from the night Nichols was beaten — footage city officials described as heinous and inhumane.
That's when Robert's old home videos resurfaced. Attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Nichols' family, was among those who shared Robert's archival footage. He wrote on Twitter: "This is who Tyre Nichols was — a talented and dedicated skateboarder with SO much life left to live."
"He never wanted to quit"
Across the country, skateboard communities have been holding memorials in honor of Nichols and his love for the sport. Regency Skate Park in Sacramento, where Robert and Nichols met when they were teenagers, is organizing a candlelight vigil on Monday. Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells, has also been raising money to build a memorial skate park dedicated to her son.
According to Robert, Nichols was long fascinated with skateboards before he built up the courage to ride one. One day, Nichols decided to try it out and he became committed to the sport from that day forward.
Nearly every day for eight years, he and Robert would meet up with their group of friends and practice skateboard tricks until it got dark. Thursday's were known as "Thursdays with Tyre," said Robert. If the two of them were not at a park, they were at McDonalds choosing from the Dollar Menu.
What he remembers most vividly about Nichols was his positivity and "infectious" laughter.
"He always tried to bring everybody together and put a smile on anybody else's face before his own," Robert said.
He added that Nichols was like a "scientist" when it came to his dedication to land new skateboard tricks.
"He analyzed everything he was doing wrong and why he wasn't learning the trick and change all those little things until eventually he would have it down consistently," Robert said. "He never wanted to quit."
Friends remember how supportive he always was
Nichols was equally supportive in seeing his friends' succeed at skateboarding. If his friend was learning a new move, Nichols would set his board down, grab a camera and patiently wait until his friend mastered the trick, even if it took hours, according to Robert.
Nichols' childhood friend Jerome Neal also remembered how encouraging he could be, saying Nichols was the kind of guy who could "make you feel like you could do anything."
The two also met at Regency skate park during their high school years. Aside from skating, Neal said, Nichols loved listening to music on his iPod and practicing his videography skills — something the two of them continued to bond over when they became adults.
In November, when Neal visited Memphis, he told Nichols that he planned to start a video production company soon, in part because of how supportive Nichols was throughout the years.
"He was the very first person I told, and he was the first person I said I would want to hire when I got it going," Neal said.

Senior officials from NATO members and partner countries are in Brussels for a second day of defense ministerial meetings. On the first day of the program, the United States and its allies were briefed by Ukrainian officials, discussed F-16 training plans for Ukrainian pilots and talked about efforts to help Kyiv maintain German tanks.
Ukraine live briefing: NATO officials meet as Ukraine claims small counteroffensive gains
The meeting comes as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive, which U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, predicted would be a long and violent fight.
Here’s the latest on the war and its ripple effects across the globe.
Key developments
- Ukraine’s counteroffensive will probably require “a considerable amount of time” and come at a high cost, Milley told reporters Thursday. Speaking next to Milley, Austin noted that photographs of Western combat vehicles damaged in battle have cropped up but said Ukrainian forces are able to recover and repair the equipment. Ukrainian officials have said their forces have made small gains, of up to 40 square miles, and liberated seven small villages in the country’s southeast. The claims could not be verified independently.
- U.S. lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill that would authorize using confiscated Russian assets to pay for aid to Ukraine and help finance the country’s reconstruction. The bill aims to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to pay for the damage caused by his invasion, “not U.S. taxpayers,” the lawmakers said.
- Sweden will probably not join NATO before next month’s gathering of the military alliance, said Jeff Flake, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey. His remarks, in an interview with Axios, come as Turkey continues its opposition to Sweden’s membership, saying Stockholm has been too lenient toward militant Kurdish groups, which Ankara views as threats. Flake, a Republican former senator from Arizona, said U.S. lawmakers have withheld the sale of F-16s to Turkey to pressure Ankara to ease its demands against Sweden.
Global impact
- Sweden has agreed to some form of fighter jet “testing” for Ukraine, Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said, as part of a program aimed at training Ukrainian pilots to fly advanced fighter jets. Speaking in Brussels at the gathering of defense officials, Reznikov expressed excitement about a “bird coalition” led by the Netherlands and Denmark. Sweden flies Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets, while the Netherlands and Denmark fly the U.S.-made F-16.
- U.S. authorities charged a Russian national for participating in deploying ransomware and cyberattacks. Ruslan Magomedovich Astamirov, 20, directly executed at least five attacks against computer systems in the United States and abroad, the Justice Department said. Astamirov is the third person charged in the LockBit ransomware campaign and the second to be apprehended, the department said. LockBit has been used in more than 1,400 attacks. It issued ransom demands worth over $100 million, and reaped gains of tens of millions of dollars via bitcoin payments, the department said.
From our correspondents
Amid NATO divisions, U.S. backs incremental step for Ukraine’s entry: The Biden administration said it is “comfortable” with a proposal from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that would permit Ukraine to forgo a formal candidacy process but not attach a deadline for the country to become a member, Missy Ryan reports. The idea is aimed at bridging a divide within NATO about how swiftly and under what conditions Ukraine should become a member of the military alliance.
U.S. officials said the proposal goes beyond the preferred course of NATO countries that fear Ukrainian membership could intensify the West’s standoff with Russia. But the proposal would still require Ukraine to carry out reforms and, contrary to the wishes of NATO members in Eastern Europe, would not attach any time frame for Ukraine’s accession. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/16/russia-ukraine-war-news-counteroffensive/ | 2023-06-16 06:24:57 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/16/russia-ukraine-war-news-counteroffensive/ |

R. Kelly has been returned to the federal jail in downtown Chicago ahead of his trial on child pornography and obstruction-of-justice charges, just two weeks after the disgraced R&B star was sentenced in New York to 30 years in prison for racketeering and sex trafficking.
The 55-year-old Kelly was transferred Tuesday from the federal jail in Brooklyn to the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the Chicago Tribune reported. He was also held at the Chicago lockup after he was indicted on federal charges in Chicago and New York in 2019.
Jury selection for his federal trial in Chicago is set to begin Aug. 15.
Kelly was convicted in 2021 in New York on charges that he sexually abused young fans, including children, in a systematic scheme that prosecutors alleged went on for decades. He was sentenced in June.
Kelly has denied any wrongdoing.
Kelly was indicted in 2002 in Illinois state court on 21 counts of child pornography, but was acquitted six years later by a jury.
Federal prosecutors allege Kelly and two co-defendants fixed that state trial, saying Kelly arranged for a girl and her parents to travel overseas to prevent them from talking with police prior to his 2002 indictment and later instructed them to lie to a grand jury about the case. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/disgraced-rb-star-r-kelly-back-in-chicago-for-sex-trial/3013569/ | 2022-07-13 21:40:06 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/disgraced-rb-star-r-kelly-back-in-chicago-for-sex-trial/3013569/ |
Clearwater police search for suspect who set house on fire
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Clearwater police said the suspect who set a house on fire Thursday lived here, and they are trying to track her down.
Police said they are searching for 26-year-old Devon Childers. The fire broke out Thursday before noon at 1340 S. Evergreen Avenue.
Scene of house fire at 1340 S. Evergreen Avenue in Clearwater.

NEW YORK (AP) — “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” opened in U.S. and Canadian theaters with a massive $120.5 million, more than tripling the debut of the 2018 animated original and showing the kind of movie-to-movie box-office growth that would be the envy of even the mightiest of Hollywood franchises.
Sony Pictures’ “Across the Spider-Verse,” the multi-verse spinning animated Spider-Man spinoff, sailed way past expectations, according to studio estimates Sunday, riding terrific reviews (95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong buzz for the hotly anticipated follow-up to the Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
In the sometimes formulaic realm of superhero movies, 2018’s “Into the Spider-Verse” offered a blast of originality, introducing a teenage webslinger from Brooklyn, Miles Morales ( Shameik Moore ), a punk-rock Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) and a host of other Spider-People. It launched with $35.4 million on its way to $384.3 million worldwide.
“Across the Spider-Verse,” which exponentially expands the film’s universe-skipping worlds, cost $100 million to make, about half the cost of the average live-action comic-book movie. So at even the forecast $80 million that “Spider-Verse” had been expected to open, “Across the Spider-Verse” would have been a hit.
Instead, it has turned out to be a box-office sensation, and the second largest domestic opening of 2023, trailing only “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” “Across the Spider-Verse,” directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson, even topped “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which debuted with $118 million, for best opening weekend of the summer so far.
The film, shepherded by writer-producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is part two in a trilogy that will conclude with a third chapter to be released next year. “Across the Spider-Verse” over-performed abroad, too, with $88.1 million overseas.
After few family offerings for much of the first half of 2023, theaters are suddenly flush with kid-friendly entertainment. Last week’s top film, the Walt Disney Co.’s live action remake “The Little Mermaid,” slid to second with $40.6 million in it second weekend.
After launching with $95.5 million and $117.5 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, “The Little Mermaid” dipped 57%, partly due to the formidable competition from “Across the Spider-Verse.”
Having cost a reported $250 million to make, “The Little Mermaid” was met with mixed reviews but more enthusiasm from audiences, which gave it an “A” CinemaScore. But overseas, where previous Disney live-action remakes have thrived, is proving harder territory this time. The film added $42.4 million internationally over the weekend.
Disney also supplied the weekend’s top counter-programming option in “The Boogeyman,” a mostly well-received horror adaptation of a Stephen King short story. Director Rob Savage’s $35 million film, starring Sophie Thatcher and Chris Messina, had originally been intended to debut on Hulu before the studio pivoted. It opened with $12.3 million in ticket sales.
In limited release, the Sundance breakout film “Past Lives” launched with an impressive $58,067 per-screen average on four screens. Celine Song’s directorial debut stars Greta Lee as a woman torn between a childhood friend from Korea (Teo Yoo) and her American husband (John Magaro).
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” $120.5 million.
2. “The Little Mermaid,” $40.6 million.
3. “The Boogeyman,” $12.3 million.
4. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” $10.2 million.
5. “Fast X,” $9.2 million.
6. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” $3.4 million.
7. “About My Father,” $2.1 million.
8. “The Machine,” $1.8 million.
9. “Suga: Agust D Tour Live in Japan,” $1.2 million.
10. “You Hurt My Feelings,” $770,000. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-has-massive-120-5-million-opening/ | 2023-06-05 14:04:12 | 1 | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-has-massive-120-5-million-opening/ |
Protestors Rally After Overturning of Roe vs Wade
The Louisiana Supreme Court rejected the State Attorney General’s request to enforce the abortion ban on Wednesday.
The ban was recently put on hold by a New Orleans Civil Court Judge.
Pro-life advocate Sherri Jackson says she believes in protecting lives before and after a baby is born.
Louisiana is one of 13 states with a “trigger law” that automatically ended the terminations of pregnancies by pills or surgical means once the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
Citizens are concerned about women’s rights to access to abortion services.
Women’s advocate and organizer Samantha Stanley feels it is a safety issue for women in Louisiana.
New Orleans Civil Court Judge Robin Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order, which allowed the clinics to remain open pending the Friday hearing on the merits of the claim.
Pro-choice advocates say this is a victory for them.
Pro-life advocates say the fight to ban abortions continues.
The lawsuit claims the law is unclear on when the ban should take effect. The hearing is scheduled for Friday. | http://klax-tv.com/protestors-rally-after-overturning-of-roe-vs-wade/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=protestors-rally-after-overturning-of-roe-vs-wade | 2022-07-09 01:33:57 | 0 | http://klax-tv.com/protestors-rally-after-overturning-of-roe-vs-wade/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=protestors-rally-after-overturning-of-roe-vs-wade |
NASA’s Orion capsule enters far-flung orbit around moon
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s Orion capsule entered an orbit stretching tens of thousands of miles around the moon Friday, as it neared the halfway mark of its test flight.
The capsule and its three test dummies entered lunar orbit more than a week after launching on the $4 billion demo that’s meant to pave the way for astronauts. It will remain in this broad but stable orbit for nearly a week, completing just half a lap before heading home.
As of Friday’s engine firing, the capsule was 238,000 miles (380,000 kilometers) from Earth. It’s expected to reach a maximum distance of almost 270,000 miles (432,000 kilometers) in a few days. That will set a new distance record for a capsule designed to carry people one day.
“It is a statistic, but it’s symbolic for what it represents,” Jim Geffre, an Orion manager, said in a NASA interview earlier in the week. “It’s about challenging ourselves to go farther, stay longer and push beyond the limits of what we’ve previously explored.”
NASA considers this a dress rehearsal for the next moon flyby in 2024, with astronauts. A lunar landing by astronauts could follow as soon as 2025. Astronauts last visited the moon 50 years ago during Apollo 17.
Earlier in the week, Mission Control in Houston lost contact with the capsule for nearly an hour. At the time, controllers were adjusting the communication link between Orion and the Deep Space Network. Officials said the spacecraft remained healthy.

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. — A community band hoping to make a big trip overseas received a big surprise on Tuesday.
The Sounds of Success Community Marching Band is trying to raise enough money to fly to London for Band Week in June 2023. They're the only community band in the country invited to the prestigious event.
But they have a long way to go for their dream to become a reality.
The SOS band needs to raise a lot of money for the trip — including $50,000 just for a down payment — in just a matter of weeks or they can't go.
The band, thankfully, got some star power Tuesday evening when Palm Beach County rapper Vanilla Ice surprised students while they were practicing at Riviera Beach Preparatory Academy.
The rapper, whose real name is Rob Van Winkle, encouraged band members to follow their dreams in music.
"We all have to wake up with something to do, a purpose, a meaning, a drive," Vanilla Ice said. "It's not just the kids that are playing the music, but all the mentors out here giving these kids the musical direction."
More than 100 students from multiple area schools participate in the SOS band, ranging in age from 5 years old all the way up to high schoolers.
"These kids are in our city. They're representing Palm Beach. They're our neighbors. So let's put some money in the pot for them and send them to London and compete," Vanilla Ice said.
To raise money for the trip, the SOS band has launched a raffle. Each ticket costs $100 and will give you the chance to win six prizes including a BMW 330i, 2023 Hyundai Venue, a VIP luxury yacht trip, golf at the Wellington Golf Club, or an 85-inch TV.
Raffle tickets are on sale through 5 p.m. on Dec. 16. To purchase a raffle ticket, click here.
"If they go to London and compete, they're representing Palm Beach County, and that's what it's all about," Vanilla Ice said. "If we can raise the money for them, it's a big ticket."
Band director Antoine Miller said they have a lot of fundraising to do.
"We are right now trying to raise $50,000 for our down payment, which is due by the 25th of this month," Miller said.
Vanilla Ice encourages the kids to follow their dreams.
"I did 'Ice, Ice Baby' when I was 16 years old," the rapper said. "And it takes that time of life to all of this inspiration and become who you are."
Band member Jazmyn Holmes, 13, is excited about the possibility of going to London.
"I like the energy that we have," Holmes said. "We are so driven to do what we love."

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Tiger Woods called it “historic” and his “favorite.” Jack Nicklaus labeled it “a magical place.”
They should know.
Woods and Nicklaus are two of the greatest golfers the game has ever produced, and they’ve each won two British Open titles at St. Andrews — arguably the most famous golf course the game has ever produced.
The Old Course is hosting the 150th Open Championship this year, making it a special event even for an Open at the home of golf. So getting a good spot to watch the action is going to be tough for nearly 300,000 spectators expected this week on a storied links so narrow and flat that there are no central viewing areas on the course.
It’s a traditional links — out and back — meaning spectators can only view from the outside of the boundaries. No hole has fans lining both sides of the fairway.
So where to go?
“The grandstand at the back of the first green, because you can see the first, 18 and the 17th green,” said David Spence, a Royal and Ancient club member since 1991 who has been attending British Opens since 1969. “It’s a really good spot to watch.”
From there, you can see the players walking down from the first tee, which sits right in front of the clubhouse. You also get a view of the players coming up the 17th — known as the Road Hole, one of the hardest tests in golf.
Then, there’s the start of the 18th hole, which finishes up the undulating traverse adjacent to that first tee and in front a two-tier grandstand that seats about 1,840 spectators.
For a more panoramic view with even more action, Spence offered another suggestion.
“My next favorite spot to watch is at the Loop behind the ninth green and the 10th tee. You can see the seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th,” Spence said. “Take your binoculars.”
Nicklaus won three British Opens in his career, first at Muirfield in 1966 and then at the Old Course in 1970 and 1978. Woods also won three British Opens, with the 2000 and 2005 titles coming at St. Andrews. His third came in 2006 at Royal Liverpool.
They spent their time playing the course, however, not jockeying for a position to get a good view.
Even Spence, as a club member, has had an easier time than most, working for years as a marshal or a tournament referee. But his experience makes him as close to an expert as you can find around town.
He was even on the course in 1995 when a streaker ran onto the green after John Daly won the title in front of the clubhouse — that small but hallowed building where the original claret jug is encased.
“I never saw it,” Spence said with a wry smile.
Regardless of what he didn’t see that day 27 years ago, Spence offered yet a third viewing option for this year’s patrons, again avoiding mention of the two main stands that sit on either side of the clubhouse abutting the 18th green and first tee and hold nearly 4,000 spectators between them.
“Behind the 17th green,” Spence said. “That is a similar spot to the one at the back of the first. Very good for the finishing.”

In these days of rage — from hate-tweeting threads to public confrontations — one thing is pretty clear: “Beef” is on the menu.
Served up by Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, the new television show created by Lee Sung Jin drops Thursday on Netflix. The 10-episode “Beef” follows an epic feud between two strangers, played by Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” “Minari”) and Wong (“Always Be My Maybe”), that stems from a wild case of road rage.
The plot points may go to the extremes for entertainment but Yeun believes “Beef” actually says a lot about society, and he’s “proud” of that.
“I just see a giant mirror up to all of us,” he said in a recent interview. “We’re living in a lot of isolation, building a lot of stories up in our head. Maybe all we really want to do is connect to somebody.”
Wong agreed, adding that their characters Amy and Danny keep their feud going because each finds it strangely enjoyable.
“They’re letting walls down. They’re seeing each other at their ugliest,” Wong said. “There’s a deep acceptance that’s obviously very cathartic and very necessary. I think that’s the most unexpected and beautiful part about our show.”
The more Danny and Amy reveal their true selves to one another, the more they hide from their loved ones. Amy grits her teeth and smiles at her husband George, as she secretly resents that she’s the family provider, taking her away from quality time with their young daughter while George stays home and creates bad pottery. George, in the meantime, feels inadequate that his wife is the breadwinner.
“I just wish you’d unload the dishes sometimes,” George complains to Amy in a scene.
“I barely have time to eat off those dishes,” she replies.
“Once any partner has a sort of resentment that they hang on to and suppress, and it’s not communicated, it boils into something else,” said Joseph Lee, who plays George. “Something will explode at some point.”
Portraying so much anger actually helped Yeun to choose to take a more Zen-like outlook.
“At first it was cathartic to play anger. I was just like, ‘Cool, that’s fun.’ Then after a while, I was like, ‘I’m tired,'” Yeun said. “To be angry for this long is so tiring. Like, what are we doing? Why are we so angry? It was just very clear to me, to like, just chill, so it was illuminating for me.”
Wong is quick to point out that despite the rage expressed on screen, offscreen it was very different.
“There was a lot of joy being had in between takes that we don’t see on camera … like me and Steven laughing,” Wong said. “The friendship I developed with (castmate) Ashley Park and a lot of the other people is like by far the best outcome of the show, no matter how it’s received.” | https://www.wdtn.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ali-wong-steven-yeun-serve-up-epic-feud-in-netflixs-beef/ | 2023-04-04 16:07:08 | 0 | https://www.wdtn.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ali-wong-steven-yeun-serve-up-epic-feud-in-netflixs-beef/ |

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Presidents and Holocaust survivors and their descendants are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on Wednesday with a poignant sense that the responsibility for carrying on the memory of the Holocaust is passing from the witnesses to younger generations.
The anniversary honors the hundreds of young Jews who took up arms in Warsaw in 1943 against the overwhelming might of the Nazi German army.
There are no surviving fighters still alive. Marek Edelman, the last surviving commander, died in 2009. He remained in Poland and helped keep alive the memory of the revolt in his homeland. Simcha Rotem, a fighter who smuggled others out of the burning ghetto through sewage tunnels, died in 2018 in Israel, where he settled.
The small number of surviving witnesses today were mostly children at the time of the revolt.
Official commemorations will be attended by presidents Isaac Herzog of Israel, Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany and Andrzej Duda of Poland. The main event will take place in front of the Memorial to the Ghetto Heroes on the hallowed ground where the fighting erupted, with a visit later to Warsaw's Nozyk synagogue and a evening concert by the Polish-Israeli Youth Symphony Orchestra.
The three leaders represent nations forever shaped by World War II.
Israel was founded after the war to give Jews a home where they could finally be safe after centuries of persecution in Europe.
Germany, which inflicted death and destruction across the vast areas that it occupied, is the perpetrator nation that for decades has acknowledged its crimes and expressed remorse.
And Poland, where Europe’s largest prewar Jewish population lived and which was invaded and subjected to mass death and destruction, carries out its responsibility of preserving sites like the ghetto and the Auschwitz death camp, while also honoring the massive losses inflicted on the entire nation. Some 6 million Polish citizens were killed during the war, about 3 million of them Jews and the others mostly Christian Poles.
Avi Valevski, a professor of psychiatry from Israel whose father, Ryszard Walewski, a doctor who led a group of some 150 warriors in the revolt, visited Warsaw with his wife, describing it as “more than an emotional moment.”
Valevski, 72, is working to carry on a history that his father rarely spoke to him about but also carries an emotional burden. He was young when his father became ill and died 1971, but today pores through the documentation his father left behind, and is trying to get one of his stories translated into English and published.
“He was quite proud of his fight against the ‘Nazi beast’ — his words — but I suppose that the feeling of apprehension entered my soul until now,” Valevski said.
The Germans invaded Poland in 1939 and set up the ghetto in 1940. It was the largest of many ghettos across occupied Poland.
The ghetto initially held some 380,000 Jews who were cramped into tight living spaces, and at its peak housed about a half-million souls. Life in the ghetto included random raids, confiscations and abductions by Nazi soldiers. Disease and starvation were rampant, and bodies often appeared on the streets.
The Jewish resistance movement in the Warsaw ghetto grew after 265,000 men, women and children were rounded up in the summer of 1942 and killed at the Treblinka death camp. As word of the Nazi genocide spread, those who remained behind no longer believed German promises that they would be sent to forced labor camps.
A small group of rebels began to spread calls for resistance, carrying out isolated acts of sabotage and attacks. Some Jews began defying German orders to report for deportation.
The uprising began when the Nazis entered the ghetto on April 19, 1943, the eve of the Passover holiday. Three days later, the Nazis set the ghetto ablaze, turning it into a fiery death trap, but the Jewish fighters kept up their struggle for nearly a month before they were brutally vanquished. That was longer than some countries held out.
Some of those participating in Wednesday’s observances traveled from as far as Australia and the United States to honor those who perished, but also the rich Jewish civilization that is their heritage. Many hold their own private ceremonies, paying tribute to those departed at the Jewish cemetery or at various memorials on the former grounds of the ghetto.
There are various events, museum openings and other ceremonies, marking the anniversary throughout the week.
“I’m a New Yorker but there is something that keeps drawing me back here,” said Barbara Jolson Blumenthal, whose parents survived the Warsaw Ghetto after a Pole helped them to escape and hide on the “Aryan” side of the city, while many other members of their families were murdered.
“And although such horrible things happened here, I remember my parents saying that they loved it here, that it was so wonderful here, and I walk the streets and I wonder if this is where my family was and where they walked,” Blumenthal said.
She returns often to Poland to work to preserve the memory of her family and her people, She spoke from a cafe of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, a monument to the 1,000 years of Jewish life on Polish lands.
Blumenthal is on the board of a new Warsaw Ghetto Museum now being created, and is seeking to have a tiny closet where her parents hid made into an exhibit. A decade ago she reburied her grandmother, who died during the war while hiding as a Catholic, in the Jewish cemetery. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/world/article/warsaw-ghetto-uprising-commemorated-on-80th-17905538.php | 2023-04-19 08:59:05 | 1 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/world/article/warsaw-ghetto-uprising-commemorated-on-80th-17905538.php |

Former All-Star catcher John Stearns dies at 71
DENVER (AP) — John Stearns, a four-time time All-Star catcher with the New York Mets, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.
Stearns, who played football and baseball at the University of Colorado, died Thursday night in Denver, according to the Mets.
He passed away less than three weeks after attending an Old Timers’ Day at Citi Field in New York that coincided with the Mets’ 60th anniversary. He was noticeably thin in his Mets jersey on Aug. 27 and waved to the crowd when he was introduced on the field.
“No one played the game with more spirit or determination than John Stearns,” Mets President Sandy Alderson said Friday in a statement. “He literally willed himself to attend Old Timers’ Day last month so he could visit friends and old teammates. Despite his illness, he even managed to step into the batting cage to take a few swings. His nickname, ‘Bad Dude’ couldn’t have been more appropriate.”
Stearns was a complete catcher. He could hit, run and throw out baserunners, nailing almost 38% of those who attempted to steal.
Stearns was a late draft pick as a defensive back by the NFL’s Buffalo Bills in 1973. The Philadelphia Phillies took him second overall that same year and he opted to play baseball.
With Bob Boone behind the plate for the Phillies, Stearns never really had a chance to play in Philadelphia after struggling early with his hitting. After appearing in one game for the Phillies in 1974, he was traded to the Mets as part of the multiplayer deal that sent relief pitcher Tug McGraw to Philadelphia.
Stearns played with the Mets from 1975-84 in a tenure that included frequent battles with injuries. He was named an All-Star in 1977, ‘79, ‘80 and 82. He had a career batting average of .260 in 810 games with 152 doubles, 10 triples and 46 home runs. He also stole 91 bases, including a team-high 25 in 1978.
A former safety and punter in college, Stearns was solid and feisty. Pirates star Dave Parker sustained a broken collarbone in one collision with Stearns in 1978 and future Mets star catcher Gary Carter got into a fight with him after another collision at home in ‘79.
One other incident Mets fans will remember is Stearns tackling one of two fans who ran on the field in 1980 and eluded authorities a little too long for his liking.
After retiring as a player, he served in a number of baseball jobs as a scout with Milwaukee, a bullpen coach for the Yankees, a minor league manager for Toronto and as a scout and coach for the Orioles.
He returned to the Mets as a coach in 2000 for two years under Bobby Valentine and later as a scout and minor league coach.
Stearns became an entertaining figure for a national audience when cameras and microphones memorably caught him shouting in the dugout, “The monster is out of the cage! The monster is out of the cage!” as Hall of Fame slugger Mike Piazza began breaking out of a hitting slump during the 2000 postseason.
“John was such a key part of our staff,” Valentine said. “He had a unique way of lighting a fire under the guys. Every time we spoke by phone, he kept telling me he was going to beat this thing. That was John Stearns to a tee.”
Stearns is survived by his son, Justin, brothers, Richard and William and his sister, Carla.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese referee Yoshimi Yamashita knows that being one of three women picked to officiate matches at the World Cup — the first time a woman will be in charge on the game's biggest stage — is not simply about soccer.
Stephanie Frappart of France and Salima Mukansanga of Rwanda must be of the same mind. They are in a pool of 36 referees listed for Qatar — the rest are all men. FIFA has also named three female assistant referees in a pool of 69: Neuza Back of Brazil, Karen Diaz Medina of Mexico and Kathryn Nesbitt of the United States.
Yamashita is aware that her selection put the focus on Japan’s low ranking on most measures of equal pay for women, and in global studies of gender equality.
“I would be very happy if women could play an active role in sports in this way, and if sports and especially soccer could lead this,” Yamashita said in an interview with The Associated Press. "In Japan, there is still a long way to go in the world of soccer (regarding participation of women), so it would be great if this could connect to the promotion of female participation in different ways, not only in soccer or in sports.”
All three have worked men's matches, and their World Cup debut comes in a Middle Eastern country where the role of women is closely prescribed.
Frappart is the best known and has already worked men’s games in World Cup qualifying, and the Champions League. She also handled the 2019 Women’s World Cup final, and refereed this year's men’s French Cup final.
Yamashita has worked games in Japan’s men’s league, and has also been in charge of the Asian equivalent of the men’s Champions League. She was also a referee at last year’s Tokyo Olympics.
Earlier this year, Mukansanga became the first woman to referee an Africa Cup of Nations match, leading an all-female officiating team.
“As always, the criteria we have used is ‘quality first’ and the selected match officials represent the highest level of refereeing worldwide,” said FIFA referees committee chairman Pierluigi Collina, who worked the 2002 World Cup final. “In this way, we clearly emphasize that it is quality that counts for us and not gender.
“I would hope that in the future the selection of elite women’s match officials for important men’s competitions will be perceived as something normal and no longer as sensational.”
Yamashita said the difference in the men’s and women’s game was, of course, speed. But not simply that some men might run faster.
“It’s the speed, but not just the players’ speed,” she told the AP. “Not the ball speed. It’s just the game speed. It means for me I have to make quicker decisions — more speed.”
Then there’s the stress, the largest stage, and the attention she is certain to generate at the World Cup.
“Of course, I think the pressure is huge,” she said, “and I think I have a lot of responsibility. But I am really happy to take this duty and pressure, so I try to take it positively and I try to be happy.”
Though it’s likely that all three will be in charge of games, it’s not a given. They could also be used as “fourth referees” on the sideline. However, they cannot be used as assistants.
Like many referees, Yamashita said her job was to stay out of the way and let the game shine.
“One of the big goals as a referee is to bring out the the attractiveness of soccer,” she said. “I do my best for that, and I will do what I should at that time toward that end. So if I need to communicate with the players, I will do that. If I need to show a card, I will show a card. Rather than control, I’m thinking about what to do toward the big goal of bringing out the appeal of soccer.”
Yamashita conducted most of the interview with the AP in Japanese, but said she would use English and “facial gestures, body gestures” when communicating with players in Qatar.
“Usually when I give a card, I say nothing,” she said, shifting to English. “But when I give a warning, I just tell them I’m not happy. They understand.”

Video: Stolen Jeep crashes into line of cars, killing woman in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - Shocking video shows a speeding stolen Jeep slam into a line of parked cars and tumble down a Philadelphia street Wednesday afternoon, leaving one person dead.
Investigators say a 78-year-old woman was sitting in her car on the 3700 block of Fairmount Avenue around 12:30 p.m. when the driver of a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee slammed into her vehicle and five others.
Video of the crash shows the white Jeep crash into a parked light-colored sedan and continue on two tires into the woman's silver Mercury Mariner.
The Jeep tumbles down the street, leaving a trail of debris, as people inside a nearby business rush outside to help the woman. Police say she was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where she died a short time later.
The driver of the stolen Jeep fled the crash on foot, according to police. No description of a possible suspect was share by investigators. | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/woman-killed-inside-car-after-she-was-struck-by-stolen-vehicle-in-mantua-driver-sought-police-say | 2022-12-29 00:20:46 | 0 | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/woman-killed-inside-car-after-she-was-struck-by-stolen-vehicle-in-mantua-driver-sought-police-say |
Real estate experts expect the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market to continue to cool down. What they’re not anticipating is a 2008-style housing crash.
“If you’ve been reading the national press and so forth, they’ll tell you the sky is falling,” Jim Gaines, an economist at the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, told a crowd of real estate agents Friday at the MetroTex Association of Realtors’ annual housing forecast. “Well, I’m here to tell you the sky isn’t really falling; it’s raining.”
August home sales sank 10% year over year in August, the third consecutive month of sales declines, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center and North Texas Real Estate Information Systems data.
Gaines said it is debatable whether the economy is currently in a recession. The country has had two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product growth, an indicator of a recession, but the nation and especially Dallas-Fort Worth are still adding jobs. He projects the DFW metro area will have year-over-year job growth 6% in 2022, up from 4.7% in 2021.
He added that even if this is a recession, Texas has been resilient through the last three U.S. recessions.
Gaines said the U.S. economy is working to revert to normal after an unhealthy level of inflation. In housing, he said, there will not be a wave of foreclosures and problems unless millions of jobs are lost.
“We’re not going to go through another 2008 downturn because the lenders have not gone hog wild making loans,” Gaines said. ”They’re still employing fairly conservative and rigorous underwriting standards and not making the crazy subprime loans.”
Jessica Lautz, vice president of demographics and behavioral insights for the National Association of Realtors, said at the event that the housing market has regained some equilibrium since March. Nationally, homes received an average of 2.5 offers in August, compared with 3.8 offers a year earlier.
“The last few years were really frenzied, they were crazy,” she said. ”They weren’t good, they weren’t healthy.”
This downturn is different from the Great Recession in three ways, according to Lautz: The U.S. housing market has been underbuilt for 15 years, mortgage loans are much more difficult to obtain and there are lots of millennials who want to buy as well as older adults staying in place.
Lautz said sales will be lower in the next 18 months and that mortgage rates will continue to go up, decreasing the amount of buyers. The lack of available housing inventory will keep prices up, she said.
“Moving into next year, yes, [we’ll see] slower sales activity, but home prices are still gaining,” Lautz said.
Phil Crone, executive director of the Dallas Builders Association, described the change in the market in his presentation as “the great normalization” as builders pull back from record levels of construction during the pandemic. He said builders pushed through supply chain challenges, labor shortages and permitting delays to deliver as many homes as they could when demand was sky high, and now they are stuck with a large amount of inventory.
“A lot of them said, ‘You know what, forget about it, we just have to power through it and get this thing done, and do whatever it takes,’ ” Crone said. “Now the sentiment’s starting to change.”
Crone said that as supply chain and labor challenges continue and buyer demand has waned, builders are worried about getting the record number of homes under construction in the area completed and sold. He said anecdotally he’s hearing that builders are seeing a deal cancellation rate of about 15% to 20%. Numbers from housing market data firm Zonda show that windows, doors, garage doors, HVAC equipment and appliances are seeing the most serious shortages.
“A lot of builders are very worried right now,” Crone said. “They pushed all their chips in to try to keep up with demand ... and now there’s a whole bunch of inventory being built out there.” | https://dentonrc.com/news/state/d-fw-is-in-a-housing-downturn-but-experts-say-this-is-nothing-like-2008/article_020d2e19-4868-5ac8-8a59-424dd5737a3c.html | 2022-10-09 05:35:28 | 1 | https://dentonrc.com/news/state/d-fw-is-in-a-housing-downturn-but-experts-say-this-is-nothing-like-2008/article_020d2e19-4868-5ac8-8a59-424dd5737a3c.html |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A federal judge struck down Arkansas’ first-in-the-nation ban on gender-affirming care for children as unconstitutional Tuesday, the first ruling to overturn such a prohibition as a growing number of Republican-led states adopt similar restrictions.
U.S. District Judge Jay Moody issued a permanent injunction against the Arkansas law, which would have prohibited doctors from providing gender-affirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers or surgery to anyone under 18.
Arkansas’ law, which Moody temporarily blocked in 2021, also would have prohibited doctors from referring patients elsewhere for such care. At least 19 other states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors following Arkansas’ law, and nearly all of them have been challenged in court.
In his order, Moody ruled that the prohibition violated the due process and equal protection rights of transgender youth and families. He said the law also violated the First Amendment rights of medical providers.
“Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the state undermined the interests it claims to be advancing,” Moody wrote in his ruling.
Moody’s ruling echoed remarks that judges have made in other decisions temporarily blocking similar bans in Alabama and Indiana.
Republican Attorney General Tim Griffin said in a statement he planned to appeal Moody’s ruling to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which last year upheld the judge’s temporary order against the law. Griffin said he was disappointed in the ruling, calling the health care “experimentation,” an argument the judge’s ruling said was refuted by decades of clinical experience and scientific research.
Republican lawmakers in Arkansas enacted the ban in 2021, overriding a veto by former GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who left office in January and is now seeking the Republican presidential nomination, said the law went too far by cutting off treatments for children currently receiving such care.
The ruling affects only the Arkansas ban but may carry implications for the fates of similar prohibitions, or discourage attempts to enact them, in other states.
“This decision sends a clear message. Fear-mongering and misinformation about this health care do not hold up to scrutiny; it hurts trans youth and must end,” said Holly Dickson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas. “Science, medicine, and law are clear: gender-affirming care is necessary to ensure these young Arkansans can thrive and be healthy.”
The ACLU challenged the law on behalf of four transgender youth and their families and two doctors.
The ruling comes as even more states are poised to enact bans on care for transgender youth. Louisiana’s Democratic governor has said he intends to veto a similar prohibition, though the Republican Legislature likely has the votes needed to override him. Proposed bans are also pending in North Carolina and Ohio’s legislatures.
Three states have banned or restricted the care through regulations or administrative orders.
Florida’s law goes beyond banning the treatments for youth by also prohibiting the use of state money for gender-affirming care and placing new restrictions on adults seeking treatment. A federal judge has blocked Florida from enforcing its ban on three children who have challenged the law.
Children’s hospitals around the country have faced harassment and threats of violence for providing such care.
The state has argued that the prohibition is within its authority to regulate the medical profession. People opposed to such treatments for children argue they are too young to make such decisions about their futures. Major medical groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, oppose the bans and experts say treatments are safe if properly administered.
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Hutchinson’s successor, in March signed legislation attempting to effectively reinstate Arkansas’ ban by making it easier to sue providers of gender-affirming care for children. That law doesn’t take effect until later this summer.
Sanders on Tuesday called the care “activists pushing a political agenda at the expense of our kids.”
“Only in the far-Left’s woke vision of America is it not appropriate to protect children,” Sanders tweeted.
A roughly two-week trial before Moody included testimony from one of the transgender youths challenging the state’s ban. Dylan Brandt, 17, testified in October that the hormone therapy he has received has transformed his life and that the ban would force him to leave the state.
“I’m so grateful the judge heard my experience of how this health care has changed my life for the better and saw the dangerous impact this law could have on my life and that of countless other transgender people,” Brandt said in a statement released by the ACLU.
Sabrina Jennen, another of the transgender youth who sued over the ban, said she felt a “wave of relief” over the ruling.
“I can say with 100% certainty that if I hadn’t had this care, I would not be here today or at least in such a stable, mental state as happy as I am and as thriving as I am,” Jennen, 17, told The Associated Press. “Having this care, it truly lifted me up from the deepest, darkest place.” | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/judge-blocks-arkansas-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/ | 2023-06-21 19:12:29 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/judge-blocks-arkansas-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/ |

House aims to ease air travel delays with more money for air traffic controllers
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration would get more money to hire air traffic controllers and the mandatory retirement age for airline pilots would be raised under a bill approved Thursday by the House.
The measure seeks to improve air travel, which has been plagued by delays and cancellations during its busiest times, and would reauthorize FAA programs for the next five years. It passed on a mostly bipartisan vote of 351-69.
The Senate is working on its version of the bill ahead of the Oct. 1 deadline for action. The two chambers will have to reconcile differences or else approve a short-term extension of existing FAA programs by then.
The House approval came after a string of votes on contentious issues. Lawmakers voted 243-139 to remove a provision that would have allowed more flight simulator hours to be credited toward the 1,500-hour in-flight requirement to become an airline pilot.
Smaller airlines lobbied for the change, saying it would ease a pilot shortage that is already causing a loss of service to smaller communities. But opponents including pilot unions said the change would undermine safety.
A provision raising the mandatory retirement age for airline pilots from 65 to 67 survived despite opposition from pilot groups.
The House rejected an effort to increase the number of long-haul flights at Reagan Washington National Airport. Delta Air Lines pushed for the increase, joined by lawmakers from cities hoping to get nonstop service to the airport near downtown Washington. Flights to and from the airport are generally limited to 1,250 miles.
Opponents said the airport is already too congested and that adding more flights would lead to more delays. United Airlines, with a major operation at farther-out Dulles Airport, lobbied against the increase in flights at National.
The Senate is behind schedule on its version of the aviation measure, which would authorize more than $100 billion in spending. A committee vote was blocked last month by the disagreement over pilot training.
Many provisions in the House version of the legislation will affect airline consumers, including one that would roll back a Transportation Department regulation from 2011 requiring airlines to show the total price of a ticket upfront in advertising. Airlines could instead provide a link to the all-in price of a ticket.
Consumer advocates oppose the rollback, and the White House took their side Monday, saying full-fare advertising is needed to help consumers do comparison shopping for tickets.
Consumer groups hope that the Senate bill will include more of the provisions they want. They are underwhelmed by the House bill, which emerged as a compromise between Transportation Committee Chairman Sam Graves, a Missouri Republican, and Rick Larsen, a Washington Democrat.
Graves said the bill “improves the safety of our system, our airport infrastructure, and the quality of service for passengers.”
Scores of business groups and airlines applauded the House approval of the FAA legislation.
“This bill makes important progress that will enable the FAA to hire and train more controllers, to improve air traffic control technology and to strengthen the pipeline of trained workers, including pilots and aviation maintenance technicians,” American Airlines said in a statement after the vote.

SANTA CLAUS, Ind. — A former Denver Broncos quarterback is looking to fill the shoes of Father Christmas.
Disney has shared the first look "The Santa Clauses," a continuation of the popular Disney franchise that began in 1994.
"For the good of Christmas, for the good of my family, I, Santa Claus, have decided to retire," Santa (Tim Allen) said in the teaser trailer, as his elves scream, cry and faint.
When Santa begins a search for his replacement, former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning interviews for the job.
"I can't wait to rub this in Brady's face," Manning said to Santa, taking a jab at his on-the-field rival, Tom Brady.
When Santa asks Manning to give his best "ho, ho, ho," Manning recites "ho, ho, homaha, homaha," referring to his famous "Omaha" play call.
In a final effort to convince Santa to pick him as his successor, Manning claims he can sing, with Santa responding, "No, Brady can sing."
The first two episodes of the limited series launch Wednesday, Nov. 16, with new episodes streaming weekly thereafter.

In February, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) announced plans to deploy D.C. police to accompany transit officers at Metro stations across the District — hoping, she said, that the extra patrols would help keep commuters safe amid growing concerns about shootings on the city’s public transit system.
“I remember when crimes committed on buses and trains was something that you’d be like, ‘Oh, my God, what happened?’ Now it’s like, ‘Oh, again,’” said Ronald L. Moten, who has worked for decades on violence prevention in D.C. “It’s normal. It’s part of the behavior.”
Crime this year in the Metro system, as of the end of April, was far above where it was at the same time last year, according to Metro Transit Police statistics. The numbers include incidents on buses, trains, in parking lots and at other Metro facilities. Robberies were up 156 percent, larcenies had doubled and aggravated assaults had increased by 35 percent. On Sunday morning, the system saw its fourth homicide of the year. Seventeen-year-old Brendan Ofori, of Fort Washington, Md., was fatally shot aboard a train as it pulled into the Waterfront station, after a dispute with a man police say boarded a few stops earlier.
The increases come as Metro riders seem to be returning to the system, which last week announced it had hit its highest ridership since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Metro General Manager Randy Clarke has said fighting crime is one of his top priorities — cracking down even on fare evasion with new doors to keep the system safe. Metro said Tuesday that D.C. officers are helping patrol four stations: Gallery Place, Metro Center, Union Station and Deanwood.
Bowser initially announced five stations would get extra patrols, though in some cases, Metro has shifted stations from being watched by additional officers during rush-hour periods to being guarded by private security during all service hours. Two stations in Maryland and three stations in Virginia are also being patrolled by area law enforcement, allowing transit police to roam more on trains and buses, authorities said.
Special police officers or private security granted police authority by Metro have been assigned to patrol nearly 20 percent of Metro’s 97 stations from opening to close, a significant increase from earlier this year.
And for the first time, Metro hired six crisis intervention specialists, who officials say have been called for help at least 200 times. Twenty-two new “ambassadors” are also roaming the busiest Metro stations and assisting passengers. They serve as additional “eyes and ears,” a Metro spokeswoman said.
Officials have suggested that their interventions are working, pointing to an April report that shows total crime down 20 percent at Metro stations guarded with area partner officers or special police since the extra patrols began. Just last week, transit police said they arrested a 24-year-old District man after he failed to comply with an ID check and police searched him, finding two semiautomatic handguns and brass knuckles, according to a transit police tweet.
But some riders said they feel no safer.
Skye Hairston, an 18-year-old student at American University, said she takes Metro almost daily from her campus in Tenleytown to her family home in Anacostia. She said she has not noticed a significant increase in security, and has continued to take extra precautions on her commutes across town: rarely using her phone, looking around and having pepper spray ready.
“I think it’s always been pretty bad,” Hairston, a lifelong D.C. resident, said of Metro. “I’ve seen a lot on there.”
Ofori’s shooting came not long after the killing of another teenager in the Metro system. In mid-May, 18-year-old Tenneson Vaughn Leslie Jr. was shot in the head as he ran from two assailants on a Metro platform in Wheaton; police later arrested a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old in the case. And in February, a Metro employee was fatally shot after he tried to stop a gunman targeting commuters inside the Potomac Avenue Metro station.
Efforts to reach Ofori’s family were unsuccessful. Police appealed for the public’s help identifying a suspect but had not made an arrest by Tuesday.
The increase in crime on Metro has corresponded with rising violence in the city. Homicides across the District were up 15 percent and overall violent crime was up 16 percent compared to the same time last year, according to the most recent data. Midday Tuesday, a restaurant worker was shot inside Tony’s Place on H Street NE, and police said they were investigating whether a customer was responsible for the attack.
As of May 18, more than 40 youths had been shot so far this year in D.C. — more than double compared to the same time last year. Eight people younger than 18 have been killed.
Many cities across the country have continued to struggle with safety aboard public trains and buses during the pandemic, but some have seen conditions improve. In New York, police reported an 8 percent decline in major crime in the transit system during the first four months of the year compared to the same period last year. Police attributed the drop to the increased visibility of officers at trains and stations and beefed-up patrols, according to a statement.
Other jurisdictions, though, have struggled. In the San Francisco area, survey results from a poll conducted by the Bay Area Council, a business association, showed that nearly half of the people cited concerns over safety, fear and cleanliness as reasons they don’t ride Bay Area Rapid Transit trains more. Transit police for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority in the Philadelphia area announced last week that the system would start enforcing a rule prohibiting ski masks from being worn during rides after multiple incidents where a suspect was wearing one, according to news reports.
Sherri Ly, a Metro spokesperson, said in a statement that transit police have worked “closely with law enforcement around the region to deter and prevent crimes. She added: “Unfortunately, we are dealing with gun violence and other societal issues as a whole and Metro is a microcosm of our larger community.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/05/30/violence-on-metro-dc/ | 2023-05-30 23:38:57 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/05/30/violence-on-metro-dc/ |
Remember the "golden age" of TV?
TV's golden age most likely kicked off with The Sopranos in 1999, but it really got rolling with shows like The Wire, Lost and Deadwood in the mid-2000s. Big-time productions that could match Hollywood in terms of budget and scale.
But that was just the beginning. TV kept steamrolling. Toward the end of the decade it was Breaking Bad and Mad Men, later it was Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Eventually, the idea that television played second fiddle to the cinematic experience began to erode and collapse.
Television was king.
But the golden age of TV never really ended. It just kept going to the point when the phrase golden age stopped making sense. "Prestige TV," or whatever you want to call it, was just the new normal: content that pushed the boundaries of what was possible. New ideas, great writing, world-class performances. This quality is baseline now. There are fully grown adults who have literally zero understanding of what it was like to scramble for scraps via shows like Twin Peaks or The X-Files.
For the last 20 years we've been swamped with incredible television. Drowning in it.
The year 2021 was one of the best for TV that I can remember. Ever. Yellowjackets, Station Eleven, The White Lotus, Succession, Dopesick, Arcane, Midnight Mass. That's before we even start talking about the superhero shows they keep dropping on Disney Plus.
That's just one year! ONE SINGLE YEAR!
Incredibly, 2022 hasn't let up. Which brings us -- finally -- to the show I want to talk about now: Severance.
Severance is a sci-fi show on Apple TV Plus, set in a barely explained universe where a process called "severance" allows employees to split themselves into two discrete entities: A work self, who exists during office hours only, and a home self, who's completely divorced from work. The work self has no understanding or memories of what goes on outside the office, and vice versa.
At its core Severance is a high concept show acutely focused on exploring that original idea -- of split lives and artificially enforced, physically induced work-life balance. But despite its unique high concept, Severance also plays on the tropes established over the past 20 years of prestige television.
It operates on a number of levels. Severance is undoubtedly a "mystery box" show, like Lost. There's a central mystery to be solved, and the show drip feeds the audience information, playing to the Reddit sleuths who love to figure out the twists before they unfold.
But Severance subverts that by also being... extremely funny. It never takes itself as seriously as a show like Westworld. It never wallows in its own self-importance. In many ways Severance takes its cues from (but also parodies) shows like The Office, which celebrate the day-to-day grind of office life.
The casting of Adam Scott, who spent years on Office-like Parks and Recreation, plays a crucial role here and helps play up the disparity. Severance features a stripped back, minimalist office much like the one you might see on Parks and Recreation, but not all is what it seems.
That's what makes Severance special. It gets to be compelling like Lost and funny like The Office. It gets to wax lyrical about the human condition, but also manages to parody the era it's part of. In many ways Severance is the first post-prestige TV classic. It does everything.
Severance isn't flashy, it doesn't have to establish its greatness with self serious monologues or soaring orchestral soundtracks. It's a show that gets to have its cake and eat it. Severance is informed by the classics that preceded it but feels distinct from them. A show that swallows and digests everything we've been consuming for the past 20 years and vomits it up as a fully formed, barf masterpiece that subverts the type of television we've become accustomed to over the past two decades.
Yet Severance is only one season deep. Promising shows have fallen apart before. Even a show as fully formed as Severance could crumble beneath audience expectations. They could screw it up.
But I have a lot of faith in Severance. It has the example of shows like Lost and Westworld to learn from. We know what could go wrong. If Severance keeps its narrative tight, and stays true to what made the show so compelling to begin with, we could be witnessing greatness. At the very least, Severance is my favorite show of 2022 so far and -- for my money -- the best show on Apple TV. | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/everyone-should-watch-the-best-tv-show-on-apple-tv-plus/ | 2022-08-25 01:27:08 | 0 | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/everyone-should-watch-the-best-tv-show-on-apple-tv-plus/ |
Nick Carter Sued for Allegedly Raping Teen During 2001 Backstreet Boys Tour
There will be no Backstreet Boys Christmas special on ABC after a new lawsuit was filed on Dec. 8 against band member Nick Carter.
Content warning: rape/sexual assault.
According to Variety, a 39-year-old woman named Shannon "Shay" Ruth filed the lawsuit, which accuses the Backstreet Boy of sexual battery.
Ruth alleged that Carter raped her and infected her with HPV when she was 17 in 2001. Three other anonymous women are also a part of the lawsuit and two of them said they also contracted HPV as a result of the assault.
The suit claims that in February 2001 after a Backstreet Boys concert in Tacoma, Wash., Ruth met Carter while asking for autographs with a group of fans after the show. Carter, who was 21 at the time, allegedly invited her onto his tour bus.
Ruth alleged that Carter gave her "a funny-tasting beverage that he called VIP juice," which was reportedly a mix of alcohol and cranberry juice, before leading her to the bathroom and telling her to "get on her knees."
The filing also alleges that Carter then "pushed" Ruth onto the bed and assaulted her despite being "begged" to stop.
Purportedly, Ruth then threatened to tell someone about the incident and was called a "retarded little b----" by Carter.
The report was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and a press conference was held in-person and via Facebook live stream by Ruth and her attorneys at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton hotel.
Ruth identified herself as autistic and as having cerebral palsy. She said, "The last 21 years have been filled with pain, confusion, frustration, shame, and self-harm that are a direct result of Nick Carter raping me. Even though I’m autistic and live with cerebral palsy, I believe nothing has affected me more … than what Nick Carter did to me."
Carter's attorney Michael Holtz told Variety "This claim about an incident that supposedly took place more than 20 years ago is not only legally meritless but also entirely untrue. Unfortunately, for several years now, Ms. Ruth has been manipulated into making false allegations about Nick – and those allegations have changed repeatedly and materially over time. No one should be fooled by a press stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic lawyer – there is nothing to this claim whatsoever, which we have no doubt the courts will quickly realize."
Carter was also accused of sexual assault in 2017 by former girl group member Melissa Schuman, who said Carter allegedly raped her in his Santa Monica apartment while shooting The Hollow in 2002.
In 2017, Carter said, "Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual."

Leadership appointments come as Ascidian's lead program targeting ABCA4 retinopathies, including Stargardt disease, moves through IND-enabling studies
BOSTON, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascidian Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on treating human diseases by rewriting RNA, announced today three new appointments to its growing development team as the company advances its lead program into the clinic.
Alia Rashid, MBChB, joins as Vice President, Clinical Development; Sarah DiSalvatore, MPH, has been appointed Vice President, Clinical Operations; and Carmen Jacome, MBA, will serve as Vice President, Program Management. They join as Ascidian prepares for its first-in-human study in its lead program targeting ABCA4 retinopathies and progresses its diversified pipeline of programs in retinal, neurological, neuromuscular, and genetically defined diseases.
"This is an exciting and very important time for Ascidian as we advance our lead program using our proprietary platform for rewriting RNA into the clinic," said Jay A. Barth, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Ascidian Therapeutics. "We're thrilled to welcome Alia, Sarah, and Carmen – who bring deep expertise in their respective areas of focus, with experience-based knowledge from preclinical studies and all phases of clinical development through marketing authorization. I look forward to the many contributions they'll bring to Ascidian for the benefit of patients as we advance this program and move our full pipeline forward to provide breakthrough therapies that address underlying causes of disease."
Ascidian's lead program targets ABCA4 retinopathies, including Stargardt disease. Diseases caused by ABCA4 loss of function represent an area of significant unmet need. More patients lose their vision from ABCA4 retinopathy than any other genetic cause, and these diseases are examples of genetic disorders that cannot be addressed by standard gene replacement given the large size of the gene, or by base editing, due to the high mutational variance of the affected gene. Stargardt disease is the most common form of inherited macular degeneration, affecting more than 30,000 individuals in the United States alone, and there are currently no approved treatments. By rewriting RNA, Ascidian's approach has the potential to treat patients with a single dose of a single exon-editing RNA therapeutic.
Alia Rashid, MBChB, Vice President, Clinical Development
Dr. Rashid joins Ascidian to help lead the clinical elements of the IND submission and oversee clinical studies in ABCA4 retinopathy. She will also help set strategic direction and manage clinical development activities for the company's overall retinal pipeline.
As an ophthalmologist with extensive experience in inherited retinal diseases, Dr. Rashid brings expertise in ophthalmic pathology, ophthalmic imaging, and drug development spanning multiple modalities and indications, including AAV-mediated approaches for various retinal conditions. She was the clinical lead for the IND application and designed and oversaw clinical trials for the first functional, recombinant Complement Factor H (CFH) in dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD) while at Gemini Therapeutics. As Senior Director and Clinical Development Lead for Ophthalmology at Editas Medicine, Dr. Rashid helped lead clinical development for its CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology for patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 10 (LCA10) – a rare genetic disease that causes blindness. She also focused on phase II and phase IV clinical studies for patients with wet AMD and diabetic retinopathy at Genentech and led pilot studies in ophthalmology innovation and mHealth to improve clinical trials.
Dr. Rashid has been named to the "Top 10 Healthcare Trendsetters" and "Boston 40 Under 40 Healthcare Innovators" lists by Medtech. She completed fellowships in ophthalmic pathology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School and ophthalmic oncology and pathology at Emory University, and earned her medical degree from the University of Birmingham in the UK.
Sarah DiSalvatore, MPH, Vice President, Clinical Operations
As Vice President of Clinical Operations, Sarah DiSalvatore will be responsible for execution of Ascidian's first ever clinical trials. She brings more than 25 years of experience in end-to-end research and development and wide-ranging expertise across many challenging therapeutic categories and modalities, including both AAV and lentiviral vector (LVV) gene therapies. DiSalvatore's work has directly contributed to FDA marketing authorization of novel treatments and vaccines, including ELZONRIS™, Portrazza®, Cyramza®, Lartruvo®, Prevnar 13®, and Prevnar 7®.
Most recently, DiSalvatore served as Vice President of Clinical Operations at AGTC (Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation), managing overall clinical operations for the company's gene therapy trials in rare diseases and ophthalmology. Prior to that, she was Assistant Vice President of Clinical Operations at Rocket Pharma, where she led global gene therapy clinical trials in rare diseases. DiSalvatore also has experience leading teams at both large pharmaceutical companies, such as Roche, as well as biotech startups, including Stemline Therapeutics, where she initiated six clinical trials and contributed to filing three Investigational New Drugs (IND) within three years.
DiSalvatore currently serves on the Leadership Advisory Board for the DDX3X Foundation and on the Community Advocacy Committee for Simons Searchlight, an international research program whose mission is to improve the lives of people with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. She earned her B.S. in biology from Salisbury University and her master's degree in public health in epidemiology from New York Medical College.
Carmen Jacome, MBA, Vice President, Program Management
Carmen Jacome joins Ascidian to lead the company's Program Management function, which will work cross-functionally to meet key deliverables, milestones, and timelines – from drug candidate selection, through clinical proof of concept and full development across Ascidian's diversified pipeline. She brings over 20 years of experience in project leadership including ten product launches across diverse platforms including: ophthalmology, bacterial infections, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and consumer products. Most recently, while at Flexion Therapeutics, Jacome managed launch readiness and commercialization of Zilretta®, the company's first approved product.
Jacome's experience encompasses both working with large pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer and Novartis, as well as small biotechnology startups, including Thrombogenics, Cempra, Flexion, and Astria Therapeutics. She earned her graduate certificate in program management from Stanford University and her MBA in international business from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina.
About Ascidian Therapeutics
Ascidian Therapeutics, an ATP company, is redefining the treatment of disease by rewriting RNA. By editing exons at the RNA level, Ascidian therapies enable precise post-transcriptional editing of genes, resulting in full-length, functional proteins at the right levels, in the right cells, at the right time. With active discovery and preclinical programs in ophthalmology, neurological, neuromuscular, and genetically defined diseases, Ascidian's approach has the potential to treat patients with a single dose of a single exon-editing RNA therapeutic and is opening new therapeutic possibilities for patients in need of breakthroughs.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The racketeering trial of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and lobbyist Matt Borges was cancelled due to illness again Friday, giving jurors a long holiday weekend to mull striking new details revealed this week by players directly involved in an alleged $60 million bribery scheme.
It marked the third time since the largest corruption trial in state history began Jan. 23 that U.S. District Judge Timothy Black in Cincinnati has postponed proceedings. Two previous pauses involved jurors testing positive for COVID-19; on Friday, Householder himself was sick, though apparently not with the coronavirus.
Testimony is scheduled to resume Tuesday, after the Presidents Day holiday. Before being slowed by illnesses, the trial was expected to last about six weeks.
The jury must decide whether Householder, 63, and Borges, 50, are guilty of conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise involving bribery and money laundering. Both have pleaded not guilty and maintain innocence. Each faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
An indictment alleges Householder, Borges, three other people and a dark money group called Generation Now orchestrated an elaborate scheme, secretly funded by Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp., to secure Householder’s power, elect his allies, pass legislation containing a $1 billion bailout for two aging nuclear power plants, and then vex a ballot effort to overturn the bill with a dirty tricks campaign. The arrests happened in July 2020.
Juan Cespedes, a former lobbyist who has pleaded guilty in the case, provided the most gripping testimony of the week, if not the entire trial.
It amounted to the first time Cespedes had spoken publicly since the arrests. Jeff Longstreth, a longtime Householder associate who was also arrested and charged, has pleaded guilty and is expected to testify soon. The third man arrested along with Householder and Borges, long-powerful Statehouse lobbyist Neil Clark, pleaded not guilty before dying by suicide in March 2021.
“I’m here to tell the truth and be accountable for it,” Cespedes said as his testimony began.
He said he worked for FirstEnergy Solutions and coordinated tens of millions in donations steered to Generation Now, which he described as controlled by Householder and Longstreth.
Cespedes testified Monday to directing a client to give Householder, through Generation Now, a $500,000 campaign contribution in exchange for legislation bailing out two aging nuclear plants owned by his company, which the Ohio House would eventually pass under Householder's watch.
He said that at an Oct. 10, 2018, meeting, another Columbus lobbyist, Robert Klaffky, slid a $400,000 check across to Householder while emphasizing the importance of the legislation.
“Our client cares very much about this issue,” Klaffky said.
Householder looked into the envelope containing the check, made out from FirstEnergy to Generation Now, and said, “Well yes, they do.” Klaffky told cleveland.com he does not recall saying those things.
The remaining $100,000 was given to Longstreth to give to Householder, Cespedes said.
Householder's lawyers argued during opening statements that he was not part of any criminal conspiracy but was engaging in politics as usual.
Cespedes described the contribution as a clear pay-to-play scheme.
“We were trying to establish the fact that our support was specifically tied to the legislation,” Cespedes said.
Generation Now has pleaded guilty to its role in the scheme. In a deal to avoid prosecution, Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. has admitted to using dark money groups to fund the bribery scheme and agreed to pay $230 million and other conditions.
Cespedes testified Tuesday that he and Borges paid $15,000 off the books in 2019 to referendum operative Tyler Fehrman to try to get inside information on a campaign to repeal the nuclear bailout bill, known as House Bill 6.
The alleged $15,000 bribe is key to the government's case against Borges, a former chair of the Ohio Republican Party. His attorneys describe the payment as a loan to help a friend.
Cespedes testified that it was for a spying effort on behalf of FirstEnergy Solutions, a then-subsidiary of FirstEnergy. He said he tried to keep the firm's executive chair, John Kiani, in the dark because he believed Kiani would apply pressure to go through with the bribe. After Kiani learned of the plan, that came to pass, Cespedes said.
“(W)hat happened to the black ops,” Kiani asked in an Aug. 31, 2019, text, a reference Cespedes testified was to the plan to get inside information. On Sept. 2, 2019, Cespedes texted Borges that Kiani “reiterated to do whatever it takes to get this information.”
Cespedes testified that Kiani had plans to operate the two Ohio nuclear plants for a short period, get a government bailout, then sell them in a deal that could have netted him $100 million. On cross-examination, Borges’ attorneys got Cespedes to concede that he, too, could have gotten rich off the planned sale.
Jurors also heard hours of tapes this week of the voice of the late Clark, which were gathered by two undercover FBI agents posing as developers who had hired him as their lobbyist.
Clark took the pair to a dinner at the Aubergine Private Dining Club in suburban Columbus on Sept. 23, 2019, to meet Householder — and advised them to bring a $50,000 check made out to Generation Now. Republican state Rep. Jay Edwards, of Athens County in southeastern Ohio, and a House staffer also attended.
In the recordings, Clark described himself as Householder's “proxy” and told the agents that, for getting attention, “a noticeable number is $15,000, $20,000 or $25,000.” He said “it goes into a (c)(4),” referring to Generation Now by the IRS code section — 501(c)(4) — that sets the rules for a category of tax-exempt organizations that can raise and spend unlimited amounts without disclosing their donors.
“It’s the speaker’s (c)(4). That’s how it works,” he told them. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/ohio-ex-speaker-ill-corruption-trial-pauses-17791776.php | 2023-02-17 23:31:29 | 1 | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/ohio-ex-speaker-ill-corruption-trial-pauses-17791776.php |

SEOUL, South Korea, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OliPass Corporation, an RNA therapeutics platform company, disclosed that OLP-1002, a selective inhibitor of Nav1.7 sodium ion channel, showed strong analgesic efficacy and long therapeutic duration according to interim findings from a placebo-controlled double blind multicenter Phase 2a study in chronic osteoarthritis patients with moderate to severe pain in Australia.
In the Phase 2a study designed to evaluate 90 osteoarthritis (OA) patients in total, patients are subjected to pain assessment for 6 weeks following a single subcutaneous injection of 1 microgram (mcg) OLP-1002, 2 mcg OLP-1002 or placebo (vehicle only). An interim analysis was carried out for the first 30 patients (10 patients per group) completed the pain assessment primarily by WOMAC Pain and VAS.
The average WOMAC Pain score of 2 mcg group gradually decreased and reached the lowest in day 43 (6 weeks) post dose. The observed % decrease in day 43 was 55% from the baseline. In the meantime, placebo effect peaked in day 15 (2 weeks) post dose and then gradually subsided to a decrease of 26% from the baseline in day 43. Consequently, 2 mcg group and placebo started differentiating from day 22 (3 weeks) post dose. The observed difference between 2 mcg OLP-1002 and placebo in day 43 is regarded quite large compared to conventional pain killer's efficacies in OA pain studies. The difference was either slightly short of significance (p-value 0.07 by t-test) or significant (p-value 0.011 by Wilcoxon test). The current sample size (10 patients per group) of this interim analysis would be too small for OA pain trials to draw reliable conclusions by statistical analysis. VAS scores showed a similar trend to WOMAC Pain scores.
Taken these interim findings together, 2 mcg is the therapeutic dose eliciting strong efficacy with an injection frequency of once every two months. "The ongoing Phase 2a study has been estimated to be statistically fully powered, once the study is completed in 90 patients as initially planned," said Dr. Shin Chung, CEO of OliPass. "Given that OLP-1002 possesses disease-modifying activity to down-regulate neuropathic hypersensitization, the analgesic efficacy of OLP-1002 shall increase upon repeated dose," added Dr. Chung.
OLP-1002 is being evaluated to pin down the therapeutic dose in OA patients which is translated further into the therapeutic dose for peripheral pain in general. OLP-1002 is still considered ideal for a broad range of chronic or refractory pain, to name a few, diabetic neuropathic pain, trigeminal neuralgia, chemotherapy-induced pain, fibromyalgia, cancer pain, and so on.
People with a null mutation in the SCN9A gene encoding Nav1.7 sodium ion channel subtype were found insensitive to pain but with other sensory functions undisturbed. A selective inhibitor of Nav1.7 has been implicated to safely treat pain. Unfortunately, there are ca 10 sodium channel subtypes structurally indistinguishable with small molecule inhibitors. Inhibition of Nav1.5 subtype, for example, may cause life-threatening heart arrhythmia. Nav1.7 selectivity really matters to safety.
Despite a huge number of Nav1.7 selective small molecule inhibitors have been evaluated, none have manifested strong efficacy and good safety in patients. OLP-1002 would be the first Nav1.7 selective inhibitor manifesting strong efficacy and good safety. Lack of safe and effective pain killers triggered the outbreak of opioid crisis. Opioid crisis is getting worse and taking lives of more than 100,000 victims each year. "The urgency and importance of identifying safe and effective pain killers can never be overemphasized," noted Dr. Chung.
Hundreds of millions are still painfully suffering from chronic or refractory pain. OLP-1002 has been estimated to create a market potential exceeding 50 billion USD per year owing to its strong efficacy, excellent safety, and vast therapeutic scope.
[About OLP-1002] OLP-1002 is an SCN9A antisense PNA and selectively inhibits the expression of Nav1.7 sodium channel in neuronal cells. OLP-1002 replicates much of the phenotype of people with a null mutation in the SCN9A gene. OLP-1002 shows an attomolar (10-18M) in vitro potency and broadly distributes to tissues, which would be responsible for its very small therapeutic dose and long therapeutic duration as seen in the ongoing Phase 2a trial. Unlike small molecule inhibitors of Nav1.7, OLP-1002 possesses disease-modifying activity by down-regulating neuropathic hypersensitization.
[About OliPass Corporation] OliPass Corporation is a public biotech company listed in KOSDAQ in South Korea (ticker: KQ244460). The company is developing RNA therapeutics based on its proprietary oligonucleotide platform called OPNA (Olipass Peptide Nucleic Acid). OPNA was derived from PNA by rational chemical modifications to show good cell permeability and ultra-strong affinity for RNA. For therapeutic intervention, OPNA potently binds to target pre-mRNA, induces exon skipping, and yields mRNA splice variant. Unlike other types of RNA therapeutics, OPNA does not require formulational aid for in vivo therapeutic activity.

The nine service members who died in a crash involving two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters ranged in age from 23 to 36 and were from seven states, the military said in releasing the names Friday as an investigative team continued its probe of the incident.
A military news release said the service members came from Florida, Texas, Missouri, California, North Carolina, Alabama and New Jersey.
“This is a time of great sadness for the 101st Airborne Division. The loss of these Soldiers will reverberate through our formations for years to come,” said Maj. Gen. JP McGee, commanding general of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell. “Now is the time for grieving and healing. The whole division and this community stand behind the families and friends of our fallen Soldiers.”
Two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed near Fort Campbell on Wednesday night in southwest Kentucky during a medical evacuation training exercise, killing all nine soldiers aboard the two aircrafts. The crash occurred in Trigg County, Kentucky, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of the Army post that is home to the 101st Airborne Division.

A special military investigative team was on the scene Friday but weather conditions have slowed the early work, Army officials said.
The team of about eight members from Fort Rucker, Alabama, arrived at the scene around 7 p.m. Thursday night but rain and wind have slowed their efforts, said Dawn Grimes, a public information officer at Fort Campbell.
“The investigation is active but it has been hampered by weather,” Grimes said Friday.
U.S. & World
The two Black Hawks were flying together during a training exercise at night, Army officials said. The pilots were using night-vision goggles. The accident occurred during flying and not during the course of a medical evacuation drill, said Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the 101st Airborne deputy commander.
The Black Hawk helicopters have something similar to the black boxes on passenger planes, which records the performance of aircrafts in flight and are used by investigators to analyze crashes. Officials said they are hoping that device yields some information about the cause of Wednesday’s crash.
The crash was the deadliest training incident for the Army since March 2015, when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed into the water off the Florida coast in dense fog, said Jimmie Cummings, spokesperson for the Army Combat Readiness Center at Fort Rucker. Four soldiers from the Louisiana Army National Guard and seven Marine special operations forces were killed.
Cummings said the most deadly non-combat Black Hawk crash was in 1988 and also involved Fort Campbell aircraft. The crash – which had the third highest number of fatalities for an Army aircraft training mission – killed 17 troops when two helicopters collided in mid-air. The most deadly Army aircraft training incident was a Chinook crash in Germany in 1982, that killed 46 U.S. and international forces. The second was a C-23 Sherpa fixed wing aircraft crash in Georgia in 2001 that killed 21 Army and Air Guard personnel.
Fort Campbell also had a multi-aircraft crash in 1996, when two Blackhawks clipped propellers. The crash killed five soldiers. The last deadly aviation accident at Fort Campbell occurred in 2018, when an Apache helicopter crashed during training, killing two soldiers on board.
The Black Hawk helicopter is a critical workhorse for the U.S. Army and is used in security, transport, medical evacuations, search and rescue and other missions. The helicopters are known to many people from the 2001 movie “Black Hawk Down,” which is about a 1993 battle in Somalia.
The nine soldiers killed were identified as:
· Warrant Officer 1 Jeffery Barnes, 33, of Milton, Florida
· Cpl. Emilie Marie Eve Bolanos, 23, of Austin, Texas
· Chief Warrant Officer 2 Zachary Esparza, 36, of Jackson, Missouri
· Sgt. Isaacjohn Gayo, 27, of Los Angeles, California
· Staff Sgt. Joshua C. Gore, 25, of Morehead City, North Carolina
· Warrant Officer 1 Aaron Healy, 32, of Cape Coral, Florida
· Staff Sgt. Taylor Mitchell, 30, of Mountain Brook, Alabama
· Chief Warrant Officer 2 Rusten Smith, 32, of Rolla, Missouri

Donovan Mitchell did, indeed, jump the gun.
The NBA concluded in its Last Two Minutes (L2M) Report that officials failed to properly whistle Mitchell for a lane violation when he rebounded his own missed free throw with the Cavaliers down one on the game’s final possession.
Instead of a whistle — which would have given the Nets possession of the ball up one with only seconds left on the clock — Mitchell attempted to put-back his own miss. A group of Nets denied him at the rim, but the ball slipped away into Caris LeVert’s hands.
LeVert found Cavs guard Isaac Okoro in the corner for a game-winning three.
“I didn’t look at it real closely, but it’s pretty interesting, the way it came off, a lot of times, it doesn’t get back to the shooter without it being a violation,” Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said after the loss. “So I’ll take a quick look at it when I get back in there, but it’ll be interesting to see.”
The missed lane violation call was one of two officiating blunders highlighted in the L2M Report. The league also determined officials incorrectly called a foul on Nic Claxton when he indeed got all ball and only made “incidental contact” with LeVert’s hand on a drive to the rim at the 1:52 mark in the fourth quarter.
“If they call, it they call it,” Nets forward Royce O’Neale said postgame. “I stopped trying to be a ref and just play basketball.”
Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie gets into his fair share of arguments with officials but said the outcome of the game was hardly decided on one missed call. The Nets led by 10 midway through the fourth and held an eight-point lead with under three minutes left before the Cavs went on a 12-2 run to close the game.
“At the end of the day, listen: I’m as hard on the refs as anyone, but we had to get to that point,” he said. “That’s a bang, bang play, it’s not like he shoved somebody out of bounds or something crazy where we got super slighted. We had to have a cascade of events to even got there. So we gotta be accountable for that.”
The Nets have lost five in a row and look to snap their losing streak in Miami against the same Heat team that leapfrogged them in the standings on Thursday. | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ny-donovan-mitchell-cavs-lane-violation-20230324-zk6wgt4fbbd6rbiwybwebott5e-story.html | 2023-03-25 05:18:26 | 1 | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ny-donovan-mitchell-cavs-lane-violation-20230324-zk6wgt4fbbd6rbiwybwebott5e-story.html |

BERLIN (AP) — An 18-year-old man suspected of having planned an extremist attack in Frankfurt has been arrested near Germany's border with Austria as he attempted to leave the country for Iraq and join the Islamic State group, German investigators said Thursday.
The man, a German citizen with Moroccan roots who grew up in Germany, was arrested on Wednesday at a highway rest area near Passau, Frankfurt prosecutors and Hesse state criminal police said in a statement.
The arrest stemmed from an investigation that started last summer. The man, whose name wasn't released, is accused of having planned a shooting attack in Frankfurt, of having researched how to build explosive devices online, and of procuring a stabbing weapon that he kept in his parents' garage.
German authorities were alerted by a foreign intelligence service, which Thursday's statement didn't identify. When the suspect's home was searched in August, investigators found depictions of the Islamic State group's flag and ideologically loaded pictures of fighting and executions, but couldn't immediately substantiate suspicions that he was planning an attack.
Further investigations suggested that he had put off his plans for an attack in Frankfurt for fear of being discovered and couldn't find enough money to get a firearm, authorities said. Instead, he allegedly planned to leave Germany on Wednesday to travel overland to Iraq, where he hoped to join IS, “'slaughter' infidels" and fight state institutions.
The suspect was arrested before he could leave the country and his home was searched again. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/world/article/german-police-nab-man-suspected-of-planning-17829483.php | 2023-03-09 17:28:47 | 1 | https://www.expressnews.com/news/world/article/german-police-nab-man-suspected-of-planning-17829483.php |
SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines pilot leaders, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association Int'l (ALPA), voted to approve a tentative agreement with the airline's management on Friday.
This agreement comes after three years of negotiations.
The pilots were fighting for improvement in scheduling flexibility, job security, compensation and improved quality of life, according to ALPA.
Capt. Will McQuillen, chair of the Alaska Airlines ALPA Master Executive Council said in a press release that the agreement will help the airline to remain competitive in the industry.
“I salute the pilots of Alaska Airlines for their solidarity, patience and determination as we have moved through this process,” McQuillen said. “Over the past three years, they and their families have remained steadfast in their support for their union. Their unity has been the driving force that helped deliver this contract. We thank our pilots for their professionalism throughout this negotiation process and for providing the safety and service that Alaska pilots are known for."
The pilots conducted the largest picket in ALPA history on April 1, 2022. More than 1,500 off-duty pilots, almost half of the pilots employed by Alaska Airlines were a part of the picket.
Pilots overwhelmingly voted to approve a strike in May if contract negotiations continued to fail. Of the members who voted, 99% of pilots approved a strike authorization.
Alaska Airlines had to cancel dozens of U.S. West Coast flights — about 9% of the airline's operations — as off-duty pilots picketed in several major cities over an impasse in nearly three years of contract negotiations. Canceled flights included 66 in Seattle; 20 in Portland, Oregon; 10 in Los Angeles; and seven in San Francisco, according to the flight tracking website flightaware.com.
Membership voting on the agreement is expected to begin in the coming weeks, according to the ALPA. | https://www.king5.com/article/travel/alaska-airlines-tentative-agreement-3-years-negotiations/281-e2e7e940-e4fb-4286-bb00-abcc0c8526a2 | 2022-09-24 07:12:10 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/travel/alaska-airlines-tentative-agreement-3-years-negotiations/281-e2e7e940-e4fb-4286-bb00-abcc0c8526a2 |
Just when you think you’ve become accustomed to the spotted lanternfly invasion, along comes another menace to the ecosystem: the Asian jumping worm.
Allow me to introduce you to Amynthas agrestis, also known as “Alabama jumper,” “Jersey wriggler” and the rude-but-accurate “crazy worm.” Unlike garden-variety earthworms, these flipping, thrashing, invasive miscreants are ravenous consumers of humus, the rich, organic, essential top layer of soil formed by dead and decaying small animals, insects and leaf litter in places like forests, plant nurseries and your garden.
Plants, fungi and other soil life cannot survive without humus, and “Asian jumping worms can eat all of it,” Sarah Farmer of the U.S. Forest Service wrote in a USDA Southern Research Center blog post published in May.
A decline in humus would also threaten birds and other wildlife that depend on soil-dwelling insects for food.
The insatiable invertebrates, native to east-central Asia, are believed to have been introduced to the United States in the late 1800s, likely as hitchhikers in potted plants. But their existence went largely unnoticed — or perhaps underreported — until the past decade, when ecologists flagged them as problematic, according to Dr. Timothy McCay, a biology and environmental studies professor at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York.
Since then, the worms’ presence has been confirmed in 35 states across the country.
Although their annual life cycle ends in winter, Asian jumping worm cocoons survive to spawn a new generation in spring. Their tiny eggs are nearly impossible to notice in soil or mulch, but adult worms, which range from 3 to 8 inches long, are easy to spot close to the soil surface and can often be seen moving under mulch or leaf litter, McCay said.
As they devour their way through the soil, the worms leave two things behind: cocoons and castings. The cocoons are tiny and soil-colored, so they are easy to miss. However, the castings, or excrement, have a granular, coffee-ground texture that will alert you to their presence.
The glossy worms can be either gray or brown, with a smooth cream or white collar that wraps entirely around part of their bodies. When touched, they thrash from side to side, jump, and may even slither back and forth like a snake. That behavior, coupled with their ability to reproduce rapidly without a mate, gives them an advantage over predators, McCay said.
"Robins and other birds, shrews, garter snakes, and amphibians like toads may not be able to effectively suppress their populations,” he said.
McCay, whose research focuses on understanding how the worms invade intact forests, and their effect on forest biodiversity, cautions that “gardeners should do what they can to avoid spreading jumping worms to new areas.” Because the worms typically move into forests from nearby gardens, he said, control in home and community gardens is necessary to slow their invasion into natural habitats.
So during this season of plant dividing and swapping, gardeners must be vigilant. Keep an eye out for the worms’ castings, a tell-tale sign of their presence. Inspect the soil clinging to plant roots and in the ground surrounding them. In addition, McCay advises, do not dispose of waste from infected gardens into nearby forests, and share only plants that have been repotted after their roots have been cleaned of clinging soil.
Unfortunately, there are no good control measures available for established populations of jumping worms. But McCay said picking them out by hand and dropping them into containers of vinegar will reduce their numbers. He knows of one gardener in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, who removed 51,000 worms that way in 2021. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/slithering-jumping-worm-next-invasive-garden-threat/507-4b417c6e-e616-43f2-b9cf-cea49b6510ec | 2022-10-18 16:31:27 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/slithering-jumping-worm-next-invasive-garden-threat/507-4b417c6e-e616-43f2-b9cf-cea49b6510ec |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Following the indictment of former President Donald Trump, it didn't take long for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to weigh in.
In a tweet, DeSantis called the indictment un-American.
"The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head," DeSantis' tweet read. "It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.
"Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda."
This raised a question: Could the governor refuse to help with extradition?
"The United States Constitution requires that a state return fugitives that are fleeing justice and outside the territory boundaries of the state within which is has indicted individuals," Dr. J Benton explained. Benton is a political science professor at the University of South Florida.
The professor said it's the governor's constitutional duty to extradite when another state requests it – even if he disagrees with the charges.
If extradition was needed and DeSantis refused to help, New York officials could take him to court over it. Benton said extradition is likely unnecessary.
"Why would the governor make such an outlandish statement at this point about something like he's not going to do, something, if Trump returns then there's no need," Benton said.
According to federal law, courts cannot look into the motives of the New York governor in this case. And the exceptions granted are few and far between.
After extradition is granted, a court can consider release for specific errors – like if the extradition documents aren't in proper order or if the wrong name is listed.
This isn't the first incident DeSantis has shared he has no interest in getting involved in Trump's legal matters. DeSantis previously said Florida will not get involved after rumors started to fly about former President Donald Trump possibly getting arrested.
During a news conference last Monday in Panama City, DeSantis was asked about his thoughts on the rumored Trump indictment and any role he plans to have in the extradition.
"So I've seen rumors swirl, I have not seen any facts yet and so I don't know what's going to happen," the governor explained. But he continued to comment on the Manhattan district attorney.
"I do know this, the Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor and so he, like other Soros-funded prosecutors,...weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety," DeSantis said to reporters.
While he says he can't speak on the allegations against Trump, the governor said he can speak on the prosecutor he claims is ignoring crimes.
"If you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction, he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments...you know, that's an example of pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office," he said. "I think that is fundamentally wrong."
DeSantis set in stone that Florida would not be involved in the situation he called a political spectacle, and he claims he has no interest in getting involved in "some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA."
"I got real issues I gotta deal with here in the state of Florida...," he said. "I got to spend my time on issues that actually matter to people."
Trump claimed previously that his arrest is imminent and issued an extraordinary call for his supporters to protest as a New York grand jury investigates hush money payments to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president.

Now that the pandemic is theoretically over, a lot of people plan to travel this summer. While I don’t know of any apps that can remove traffic from the roads or diminish crowds at airports, there are apps and websites that can help you plan and, hopefully, avoid some of annoyances of busy travel seasons.
In addition to a myriad of useful travel and dining apps, what’s new this year are easy to use artificial intelligence services that can help you plan your trip.
AI is enormously useful
I can’t overstate how helpful these services can be with travel planning. You can’t use them to make reservations, but you can ask questions like “who flies nonstop between SFO and Paris” or “what’s the best way to get from JFK airport to mid-town Manhattan” or “fun things for 10-year-olds to do at Yosemite”
I recently drove from my home in Silicon Valley to my wife’s brother’s house near Sedona, Arizona, and used ChatGPT to plan our route and find interesting stops along the way. It was incredibly useful at pointing out interesting places to stop. I did the same with Google Bard, and it, too, came up with interesting things to do, some of which were different from ChatGPT’s recommendations. Even though it is based on ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing also had different recommendations. So, if you want to get lots of recommendations, use all three free AI chat systems to plan your route.
I also used these services to “find sushi bars on the road between San Jose and Sedona” and was surprised to find several suggestions. But as much as I love sushi, it’s not something I would order while driving through a desert. My wife and I are planning a trip to Minneapolis this summer, and I’ve used all three services to “find a rustic lake within an hour of Minneapolis.” One thing I like about Google Bard is that it gives more detailed information about lakes along with photos from the area.
While all three AI systems give you good information, ChatGPT seems to be the most thorough; however, its database was last updated in September, 2021. Both Bing and Bard claim to have up-to-date information. I didn’t do extensive testing on this, but I asked all three services “who is Pat Robertson.” Bing and Bard referred to him in the past tense and reported his date of death. ChatGPT’s report implied that he was still living, because he was alive when its models were last trained in September 2021.
Travel and dining apps
There are lots of travel apps, including ones like Expedia, Kayak and others that can help you find flights, hotels and rental cars. One thing I’ve learned is to try more than one app or website, including the ones operated by the airline, hotel or rental car company. There have been times when I’ve found different prices on different apps or special discounts only available on apps from the hotel’s website. One advantage of booking directly from the hotel or airline is that you might get better service if you need to make a change, or get an upgrade. I’ve had hotels and airlines tell me that they can’t help me because I booked through “a travel agent,” which is essentially what these third-party services are. Having said that, I’ve often found better hotel prices from services like Expedia than I have at the hotel company’s website or app.
These apps can also be used to find attractions and local tours as well as make reservations.
There are numerous ways to find places to eat while traveling, including OpenTable and Yelp. Both of these services let you select options, including outdoor dining, which might be a good idea if you’re concerned about COVID. I wouldn’t rely on information from these services, so you should probably call the restaurant to confirm. Yelp also has a “good for kids” option.
Google Maps is an essential tool when traveling by car. If you’re looking for a scenic route, you can click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner and select Route Options and then Avoid Highways. But a couple of warnings. If you do this, be sure to undo it when you want to find the fastest or most efficient route. It might also route you on city streets and backroads that could be a bit too far off the beaten path.
While you’re exploring your destination, be it a city or a hike in the woods, you can use Google Lens to help identify buildings, plants and other things you might find. It’s far from perfect, but does a reasonably good job of doing what amounts to an online image search to identify and describe what you’re looking at. For plants, including trees and flowers, download PlantNet Plant Identification. You use it to take a picture of the plant and then select whether you’re focusing on the flower, bark, fruit, leaf or other plant organ, which helps improve accuracy.
Finally, if you have kids, have them help plan the travel before you leave home. It gets them engaged, increases the odds that they’ll approve of your family’s plans and helps build their skills and confidence. Besides, they might be better at it than you are.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s central bank delivered another outsized interest rate cut Thursday despite inflation running at more than 85% and other countries moving the opposite way to ease the pain of soaring prices.
The central bank said its Monetary Policy Committee decided to lower the benchmark policy rate by 1.5 percentage points to 9%, following a series of similar jumbo cuts.
The move is in line with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unorthodox economic views that high borrowing costs cause high inflation, even though traditional economic thinking says raising interest rates help tame inflation.
Erdogan had called for a single-digit interest rate by the end of the year. He is counting on lower borrowing costs to propel the economy as Turkey gears up for presidential and parliamentary elections next June.
The bank had similarly cut borrowing costs by 1.5 points last month and by 1 point each in August and September. The Monetary Policy Committee announced, however, that the easing cycle would now come to a halt.
“Considering the increasing risks regarding global demand, the Committee evaluated that the current policy rate is adequate and decided to end the rate cut cycle that started in August,” it said in a statement.
Inflation hit a raging 85.51% in October, according to official statistics, making even basic necessities unaffordable for many. Independent researchers estimated, however, that actual price increases are much higher than the official figures.
The European Central Bank, U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world have taken the reverse course of Turkey, rapidly raising interest rates to clamp down on soaring consumer prices. Sweden raised its key rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Thursday.
Their inflation rates are far below Turkey’s, running at 10.6% in the 19 countries using the euro currency, 9.3% in Sweden and 7.7% in the U.S. last month.
The Turkish lira has lost some 28% of its value against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of the year — on top of taking an even worse battering in 2021. | https://pix11.com/business/ap-business/ap-turkish-central-bank-cuts-rates-again-despite-high-inflation/ | 2022-11-25 10:50:45 | 0 | https://pix11.com/business/ap-business/ap-turkish-central-bank-cuts-rates-again-despite-high-inflation/ |
Snake wranglers capture massive albino boa constrictor in Florida backyard
NAPLES, Fla. - When a Florida homeowner spotted a gigantic snake in their backyard, they quickly called Rhett and Taylor Stanberry.
The professional snake wranglers, who catch invasive pythons as well as remove and relocate venomous snakes throughout South Florida, say they're used to encountering large animals in their line of work. But even they did a double-take when they found the massive reptile in the backyard of a Naples home in early December.
Rhett Stanberry said the homeowner sent him a message about a "huge python" in their backyard, but when they found the snake in the bushes, they realized it was actually a 9-foot-long albino boa constrictor.
"That is one of the fattest – that’s a pet snake," Rhett could be heard saying in their video, which they posted to their YouTube channel, Tobie's Troop. "That is the fattest boa constrictor I have ever seen."
The couple's video showed the boa hissing and lunging at them.
"This Boa was just as defensive as a wild Burmese Python, who knows how long it's been out there eating bunnies (and probably cats)," Rhett wrote on Facebook.
The couple eventually managed to get the massive reptile into a bag and brought it back to their facility to weigh and measure it.
"Nine feet. A hundred and 13 inches, so 9 feet, five inches," Taylor said. "This snake is 52 pounds. That is a big boa."

The Stanberrys believe the snake was likely kept as a pet and released when it got too large, or it may have been lost during a storm such as Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on the southwest coast of Florida back in September.

Albino animals are more at risk in the wild because they cannot camouflage due to their lack of pigmentation.
The couple says the albino boa will stay at their private facility under the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Class III License, which allows legal possession of non-domesticated animals. | https://www.fox13news.com/news/snake-wranglers-capture-massive-albino-boa-constrictor-in-florida-backyard | 2022-12-13 22:01:28 | 0 | https://www.fox13news.com/news/snake-wranglers-capture-massive-albino-boa-constrictor-in-florida-backyard |

The Carolina Hurricanes keep plugging along even as their goaltending situation tends to be a moving target.
Now with Frederik Andersen suffering an upper-body injury, another chapter at the goalie position is sure to unfold Friday night when the Hurricanes host the San Jose Sharks in Raleigh, N.C.
Andersen suffered the upper-body injury Wednesday night in Dallas, so Antti Raanta was summoned to finish what became a 3-2 overtime victory. Raanta, Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov have spent time in and out of the lineup with physical issues, keeping the Hurricanes from establishing a regular rotation.
Just last week, with Raanta and Andersen deemed healthy, Kochetkov was sent to the AHL after he had plugged in for Raanta (lower-body injury) for much of December and was named NHL rookie of the month.
“You try to work every day in practice to make sure that whenever your turn is that you’re ready to go,” said Raanta, who stopped all 15 Stars shots he faced.
“A few more (games) before the (All-Star) break, so let’s start focusing on Friday’s game.”
The Hurricanes have won three games in a row as they move into a three-game homestand. The Metropolitan Division leaders hold a six-game points streak.
The Sharks continue to sit near the bottom of the Pacific Division, 0-2-1 on a road trip that still has a stop in Pittsburgh on Saturday before they get a nine-day break in the schedule, partially owing to the NHL All-Star Break.
Tuesday night’s 3-2 overtime loss at Detroit moved San Jose to 2-5-3 across its past 10 games.
“I thought there was a lot more honesty in our game,” Sharks coach David Quinn said. “A lot more pace, a lot more compete in our game. Just disappointed in the ending.”
Quinn said he was impressed with goalie James Reimer’s outing against the Red Wings. Reimer is a former Carolina netminder.
While the Sharks have come up short across the board, overtime sessions have been a drag on the team as well.
“Anybody we put out there lately, it has been a struggle for us,” Quinn said of the overtime periods.
Even at 9-13-3 on the road, the Sharks hold a better road mark than at home (5-12-7).
The Hurricanes, meantime, beat Dallas in overtime for the second time this season, this one on Martin Necas’ game-winner.
Carolina center Sebastian Aho scored his 200th career goal Wednesday night, becoming the sixth player in franchise history and the third player from the 2015 NHL Draft to reach the milestone.
It was another sign that Aho is back in a groove after missing time with an injury last month.
“I think he looks like he did before he went out,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “When you’re out for a while and not really skating, it takes time to get that back.”
Aho’s tally was his 16th career short-handed goal, tying the franchise record.
“He’s dynamic in open ice and he can really read the play,” Brind’Amour said. “He has had a ton of chances short-handed. He’s a weapon there.”
Aside from goaltending, the Hurricanes have other topics of concern on the defensive side. Defenseman Jaccob Slavin has missed the past two games because of a lower-body injury.
The last time the Hurricanes met the Sharks, back on Oct. 14, Carolina won 2-1 at San Jose with Raanta picking up the victory.

Atlanta rapper Young Thug faces new charges in RICO case
Atlanta rapper Young Thug, who’s accused of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s criminal racketeering law and participation in a criminal street gang, is facing six new felony charges along with four others linked to the case.
A new indictment was filed in Fulton County Superior Court last week against the artist, whose real name is Jeffery Williams. He now faces additional charges of criminal street gang activity, violation of the Georgia controlled substances act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a machine gun and drug charges, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
The new charges stem from what investigators found during Williams’ arrest on the original May 9 indictment at his home in Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead neighborhood, authorities said.
Prosecutors allege that Young Thug’s violent boasts in song help prove his participation in criminal activity. His attorney calls the charges ‘baseless.’
The initial indictment contained 56 counts against 28 people for alleged involvement in crimes committed on behalf of the Young Slime Life street gang. The updated indictment now includes 65 counts, six of which apply to Williams.
At the time of Williams’ arrest, there was a question of whether the new charges would be folded into the RICO case. Court records now indicate that is what has been done.
Williams’ attorney, Brian Steel, said his client is innocent and looks forward to fighting the charges in court.
“Mr. Williams has committed absolutely no crimes,” Steel told the newspaper Wednesday. “We cannot wait for a trial date.”
Rap star Young Thug is at the center of a case brought by Georgia prosecutors that alleges that his rap crew, YSL, is actually a violent criminal gang.
Williams and rapper Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, remains in jail after bond was denied for both earlier this year. Steel said a new bond hearing for Williams has been scheduled for next week. A tentative trial date has been set for Jan. 9, 2023.
Martinez Arnold, also known as Duke, and Deamonte Kendrick, also known as Yak Gotti, face additional charges including participation in criminal street gang activity, violation of the Georgia controlled substances act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a machine gun. Kendrick also has been indicted on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Shannon Stillwell and Quamarvious Nichols were charged with one additional count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon related to the death of Shymel Drinks on March 18.
Arnold’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, told WSB-TV that she is confident her client won’t be convicted. She said he will plead not guilty to the new charges as he already has to the original charges.
Rapper Gunna, arrested last month on a racketeering charge, said in a message on social media that 2022 has been one of the best years of his life.
The indictments center on Young Slime Life, an alleged gang prosecutors say was founded by Williams and two others in Atlanta with ties to the national Bloods gang.
Young Thug co-wrote the hit “This is America” with Childish Gambino, making history when it became the first hip-hop track to win the Grammy for song of the year in 2019.

Powerful congressional chairmanship role at stake in GOP primary race between Buchanan, Hyde
U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan could soon find himself at the helm of the House Ways and Means Committee, but he must first defend his seat from controversial Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde in the upcoming Republican primary election.
Both men are well known in the Sarasota community, but residents will not be seeing their names on their ballots this year. State officials changed the District 16 boundaries during recent redistricting efforts to only include Manatee County and southern portions of Hillsborough — removing Sarasota from the district in the process.
Buchanan is considered a heavy favorite in the race. He has represented the district since 2013, has served in Congress since 2007, and his candidacy to be Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee gives his supporters added incentive to show up to the polls on election day.

And:Vern Buchanan highlights re-election bid to packed Manatee Tiger Bay Club audience
Hyde would love to be the man to finally unseat the longtime congressman and end his bid for the chairmanship role early. The boisterous Sarasota businessman chose to remain humble about his chances of doing so when he spoke to the Herald-Tribune in late July. He would have to overcome a significant gap in fundraising and a tarnished reputation from controversies that arose during each of his political campaigns.
"I don't think he's got too much to worry about, except for the unexpected you never know," Hyde said. "Obviously, if I was to win, that would be a devastating earthquake shock, and I'm not predicting it. But in a two-horse race? Who can say? Anything can happen."
The winner of the August primary election will run against Democratic Challenger Jan Schneider and write-in candidate Ralph E. Hartman in November.
Vern Buchanan's eyes set on Ways and Means committee
The House Ways and Means Committee is the oldest committee in Congress and its jurisdiction includes tax policy, trade, welfare, social security, and Medicare.
Buchanan is already the second most senior Republican member serving on the committee, outranked only by Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, who is retiring after this term.
If he is re-elected, and the Republican party takes back the House majority this midterm election, his seniority puts him at the top of a short list of candidates for the chairmanship role.

And:Vern Buchanan votes against gun bill despite past support for stronger gun restrictions
Other candidates include Adrian Smith, R-Neb., and Jason Smith, R-Mo. The chairman is formally selected by the House Steering Committee of the majority party after the election cycle.
"It's viewed as the most powerful committee in Congress, and my focus is on working toward the chairmanship," Buchanan said. "Our goal is to take back the majority, I think we will. When that happens I think it's a good opportunity for us to change the direction of governance in Washington going forward."
The prospect has helped Buchanan raise $3.7 million for his re-election campaign and another $2 million for the National Republican Congressional Committee, and his fundraising power is a major plus as he seeks to gain favor from his peers and help the Republican party take a majority of seats in the House.
"I am raising a lot of money, a lot of that is because a lot of people are hoping that I will be the next chairman," Buchanan said. "I've raised almost twice what I normally raise. A lot of the money that we raise is going to go toward taking back the House."
At times, Buchanan has voted across party lines, much to his opponent's dismay, but he has taken a more hard-right stance on more recent votes on hot-button issues like restrictions on assault weapons.
Buchanan's voted against a ban on assault weapons that was introduced by House Democrats on July 29 in response to a slew of recent mass shootings nationwide.
He also cast a nay vote just 10 days prior on the Respect for Marriage Act, which would require the federal government to recognize same-sex marriage.
Like many Republican lawmakers, Buchanan is also pro-life and supports the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn its Roe v. Wade decision. He believes abortion policy should be left to the states.
Martin Hyde makes his case for House seat
Hyde admits his checkered past makes him a longshot to unseat Buchanan during this year's primary.
“I ran because nobody else will,” he said.
Hyde often criticizes the length of Buchanan's tenure and votes he has taken against party lines at times on the hot-button issues as evidence that he would represent a more conservative voice in congress if elected.
More:Who is Sarasota congressional candidate Martin Hyde?
He cites Buchanan's 2019 vote to create new background check requirements for gun sales over the Internet and at gun shows — a vote which Buchanan reversed earlier this year.
Hyde also criticizes his introduction of legislation to ban drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida coastlines and his vote to uphold the results of the 2020 presidential election. He credits himself and the upcoming Republican primary for Buchanan's more recent votes along party lines.
"Vern Buchanan has claimed for years that he's the most bipartisan member of the Florida caucus, and he prided himself on it," Hyde said. "I think in some respects I've done a public service even if I don't get any votes because he's voted the way I would have done in many cases now for about a year."
In case you missed it:Martin Hyde, who threatened Sarasota police officer's career, lauded by Tucker Carlson for apology
Watch:Video shows Sarasota candidate threatening police officer's career during traffic stop
Opinion:The inadvertent lesson taught by Martin Hyde
The congressional candidate made national news in February for attempting to use his status as a candidate for the District 16 race to avoid a speeding ticket and verbally threatening the career of the female Sarasota Police Department officer.
Body cam footage showed him telling the officer, "you’re making career decisions" and "you know who I am, right?"
Hyde penned a public apology 10 days later in an opinion piece submitted to the Herald-Tribune where he indicated that he would no longer run for the seat and, only to reverse course and indicate he would continue his campaign during an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson a week later.
"I did what I did, and I admitted it both times," Hyde said. "It's not like it's the first time... I'm that kind of person. I need to improve as far as that's concerned. But it doesn't make me unfit as a public servant ." | https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/08/05/florida-primary-election-2022-gop-us-house-16-ways-and-means-committee/10147051002/ | 2022-08-05 09:31:11 | 0 | https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/08/05/florida-primary-election-2022-gop-us-house-16-ways-and-means-committee/10147051002/ |
Nelda Rose Drollinger September 20, 1941 - January 28, 2023 Nelda Rose Hancock Drollinger, 81, passed away peacefully at her home in Lewisville, ID on Saturday January 28, 2023. Nelda was born September 20, 1941 in Rigby, ID to Solomon Ward Hancock and Rosetta Fife. She graduated from Rigby High School with honors in 1959. She married Larry Dean Drollinger on September 2, 1961 in Elko, NV; they were then sealed for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls LDS temple on September 7, 1974. When not busy working to support her family at home, Nelda performed office work at Decker's and Eastern Idaho Printing in Idaho Falls.

Jurors began deliberations Tuesday in a third trial connected to a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a spinoff of the main case that resulted in four convictions in federal court.
Prosecutors acknowledge that Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were not deeply involved by fall 2020 when anti-government extremists trained in northern Michigan and took a ride to observe Whitmer's vacation home and a bridge that could be blown up.
The three, however, are accused of providing assistance earlier that summer when a leader of the plot, Adam Fox, drilled with their paramilitary group, the Wolverine Watchmen, at a rural property in Jackson County where Morrison and Musico live.
“You can't un-rob a bank. Once you commit a crime you can't undo it,” state Assistant Attorney General Bill Rollstin said in final remarks Tuesday.
Morrison, 28, Musico, 44, and Bellar, 24, are charged with providing “material support” for a terrorist act and two other crimes. The jury didn't reach a verdict and will return Wednesday in Jackson, Michigan, 80 miles (130 kilometers) west of Detroit.
The trial in state court was a branch of the main case handled in federal court, where Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy. Two other men pleaded guilty and two more were acquitted.
Authorities said the goal was to trigger a U.S. civil war, known to extremists as the “boogaloo.”
“I don't care who you voted for,” Rollstin told the jury. “But to target our governor would be an incredibly destabilizing event in our state. What they had planned would have rocked this nation.”
Whitmer, a Democrat running for reelection on Nov. 8, was never physically harmed. Undercover FBI agents and informants were inside the group for months. The scheme was broken up with 14 arrests in October 2020.
Defense lawyers conceded that Morrison, Musico and Bellar expressed violent, profane opinions about Whitmer, police and government. But they argued that free speech is not a crime. They also emphasized that the three were on the sideline when the kidnapping scheme shifted to northern Michigan.
Bellar’s attorney, Andrew Kirkpatrick, said the trio's connection to Fox was insignificant. He urged the jury to focus on the words “material support” in the main charge.
“If you’re building something, you gotta have materials to put something together. It’s not one time,” Kirkpatrick said Monday. "It’s not maybe two times of being at the same training session together. It’s material.”
Morrison, who tested positive for COVID-19, and Musico were not in the courtroom. They watched final arguments by video.

(NEXSTAR) — If you think you may have “Googled” anything between Oct. 25, 2006 and Sept. 30, 2013 and clicked on a search result, odds are you may have a claim and be entitled to some of the $23 million settlement the tech giant has agreed to pay out.
The settlement ties back to a class action lawsuit — for which Google denies any wrongdoing or liability — which claims that the search engine “improperly shared your search queries with third-party websites and companies” during the above time period. The settlement is not an admission of guilt by Google, according to Kroll Settlement Administration, which is handling logistics of the settlement.
Here’s what to know:
- Deadline to participate or exclude yourself is July 31. If you do nothing, you will forfeit your right to sue Google or receive any compensation related to the allegations in this lawsuit
- Claim forms can be submitted via mail or by visiting referrerheadersettlement.com
- How to file a claim: Visit the Google Referrer Header Settlement website and click “Registration Form”
- Fill out your registration information to receive a Class Member ID. NOTE: This is not a claim submission. There are two more steps
- Once you submit this form, you’ll receive your Class Member ID at the email address you provided during registration
- Back at referrerheadersettlement.com, click “Submit Claim” and drop your ID number into the space provided. Hit “submit” and you’re done
The final approval hearing is Oct. 12 and appeals are possible. Those who wish to object can also write to the court to explain why they feel the settlement shouldn’t be approved. You may be asked to speak in court. All participants should be patient and check back at the settlement website for updates.
Payment amounts will depend on how many claims there are but estimated payouts are about $7.70 per person for approved claims.
According to Kroll, as part of the settlement, Google has agreed to revise its FAQs and “key terms” pages to explain how user search data is shared with third parties via referrer headers. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/googles-23m-settlement-how-to-file-a-claim-and-how-much-you-may-get/ | 2023-06-13 16:44:11 | 0 | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/googles-23m-settlement-how-to-file-a-claim-and-how-much-you-may-get/ |

We need to expose how naked the man-caused global warming hoax really i
As the Hans Christian Andersen story goes, the emperor was walking down the street naked. Everyone said they admired his new clothes except a boy who pointed out the obvious lie and exposed the emperor’s nakedness instead of fine new clothes.
Man-caused global warming is the emperor’s clothes story now. It is a total lie and ludicrous that Carbon Dioxide from fossil fuels will destroy the planet. Carbon Dioxide which is essential to produce our food and oxygen is a minor greenhouse gas. If the earth’s atmosphere is represented by a 100,000 seat football stadium, CO2 at 410 PPM would only occupy 41 seats.
The radical democrat Socialist/Marxists plan to use the “Green New Deal” to destroy the American economy and surrender American sovereignty to the pro-communist United Nations.
People are also reading…
The United Nation’s Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 is using the global warming HOAX to control all human activity on the planet.
There are over 31,000 US scientists and engineers who have signed a petition against man-caused global warming.
All 73 of the United Nation’s climate models have been proven wrong.
98% of CO2 is in the oceans. Temperature controls the level of CO2. Carbon Dioxide does not control temperature. Less than 3.5% of CO2 comes from human sources.
Our plants are starved for CO2. They would like 1500 to 2000 ppm. Commercial greenhouses add additional CO2 to enhance plant growth.
Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Green Peace, resigned when Green Peace became controlled by radical environmentalists. They are less concerned about the environment, but are working to control all human activity.
We need to expose how naked the man-caused global warming hoax really is. The “Green New Deal” must be exposed and stopped! We must get out of the anti-American tyrannical United Nations. Freedom is not free! For additional information go to www.thenewamerican.com.

What are the benefits of vitamin D3?
Your body creates vitamin D3 when the sun touches your skin. In the winter, however, we tend to stay inside more, making it harder to get the proper amount of D3.
Drops in D3 can be damaging to both the mind and body. Your bones, muscles and entire immune system need it to survive. Furthermore, your mood can be greatly affected by a shortage of D3. During this time of year, pay attention to the amount of sun you get and if needed, take D3 supplements to enjoy its benefits.
Vitamin D3 helps build a strong body
D3 benefits your body physiologically. It helps build strong muscles, and along with calcium, it builds strong bones, too. Vitamin D3 benefits your body throughout your life, but as you age, it can become harder for your skin to absorb it in the sun. Additionally, if you wear sunscreen or T-shirts to protect your skin from the sun, D3 does not develop in your body. If there is not enough D3 in your body, you can have severe problems like ongoing deficiency or bone issues.
Muscles
D3 benefits your muscles by reducing pain and inflammation. It allows optimal muscle function and growth. This means that by taking D3, not only are you preparing your muscles for a workout, they will feel better following the exercise. D3 supports muscles, and you can improve your strength by having the appropriate amount circulating through the body.
Bones
Not only do your muscles benefit from D3, but your bones do too. D3 strengthens bones and supports the absorption of calcium into the system. According to the Mayo Clinic, those with bone density issues or osteoporosis can greatly benefit from D3 supplements. They can also be useful for women after menopause to boost bone strength.
UV without a sunburn
If you take a vitamin D3 supplement, you get all of the benefits of the sun without the worry of sunburn. The body produces D3 when the sun hits your skin, but the sun can also harm your skin, so protect it by taking a quality supplement.
Vitamin D3 is a mood booster
Without enough D3 in your body, your mood suffers, and you can become depressed. According to the National Institutes of Health, D3 regulates mood and assists in fighting off depression. If you do notice a dip in how your body or mind feels, talk to your doctor and consider discussing introducing vitamin D3 supplements.
Natural antidepressant
Since D3 is helpful in regulating mood, it can be used as a natural antidepressant. If you find that you are feeling low and you haven’t been outside in a while, D3 could be what you are missing. However, depression is a serious condition, and you should consult a doctor if you are feeling depressed. D3 is great for mood stabilization, but it alone cannot resolve certain psychological complications.
Vitamin D3 supports your immune system
Your immune system is strongly supported by having a healthy amount of vitamin D3. A properly working immune system improves the way your body fights off disease and helps heal your body from injury. By taking D3, you can help your body overcome illness and reduce inflammation. It also improves kidney function and acts as a preventive measure for certain cancers.
Kidney function
The National Institutes of Health says that vitamin D3 is used during the treatment of chronic kidney conditions because of the relation to low vitamin D in patients with kidney diseases. D3 or D2 can be used, but D3 is thought to be more effective according to the NIH. If you wish to improve your kidney function, consult your doctor about adding vitamin D3 to your diet. Vitamin D3 can also be useful for people with darker skin, older people or those with larger body mass as it is not as easily absorbed into all body types.
Cancer prevention
Taking D3 instead of going out into the sun for hours on end can make the difference in certain kinds of cancer, such as skin cancer. By replenishing your body with D3 through supplements, you avoid being exposed to the sun for longer periods.

(NerdWallet) – A successful yard sale involves hours of preparation and plenty of hard work. So does an unsuccessful sale. I’ve had both kinds and can confidently say the version that makes money is better.
If you’re ready to take advantage of warmer weather and the opportunity to declutter, consider these tips culled from experts (and bitter experience) for having a good sale.
Determine your goals
First, consider whether a yard sale is the right method for your goals. Yard sales and their cousins — garage, estate, moving and tag sales — can help you get rid of stuff and raise some cash. But you can’t expect to get top dollar.
If making money is your priority and you have time to wait for buyers, consider offering your more valuable items elsewhere. Check out auction sites such as eBay; apps including Letgo and OfferUp; platforms like Craigslist, Nextdoor or Facebook Marketplace; and consignment stores or even pawnshops.
If you just want to get stuff out of your house, donating your unwanted goods is usually the fastest and easiest option. (You’ll get a tax break for your donation only if you’re one of the few who itemize deductions.)
If your goals are relatively balanced — you want more space and more money, for several hours’ worth of work — a yard sale may be the best option.
Go big
Consider enlisting at least one other household that can contribute helpers and stuff for your sale. Shoppers want to see a wide variety of goods — there’s a reason many yard sale ads use the headline “Multifamily sale!” — and the whole experience is a lot more fun with friends.
Tools, kitchen gadgets, sporting goods and camping gear are often the best draws, says Chris Heiska, who has operated the yardsalequeen.com site since 1996. What usually doesn’t sell: anything broken or badly stained. Outdated technology can be hit or miss. Our friends found no takers for their VCR tapes or Princess telephone. But vinyl records can be hot sellers.
Expect to spend several hours collecting, sorting and pricing your items. Pricing is essential — many people won’t ask what something costs, so you’ll be losing sales if there’s no sticker, Heiska says. You can find lists of suggested yard sale prices online or check other sales in your area. When in doubt, Heiska suggests pricing something at one-quarter to one-third of what the item costs new. In some areas, 10% to 20% of the original cost is often the norm.
“You have to think of your shoppers,” says professional organizer Cyndi Seidler of Los Angeles, who manages estate and moving sales for clients. “They don’t go to these things to pay retail prices.”
Pro tip: Price as you go, so you’re not trying to do it all right before the crowds arrive. You can use masking tape and a Sharpie, but I invested $8 in a big package of pre-marked pricing stickers ordered online. Each of the three sellers used a different color, which made it easy to keep track on the day of the sale. We also procured some change: quarters, singles and a few larger bills. How much we started with is a matter of dispute; I’ll get to that later.
Get the word out
Craigslist is a good place to advertise your sale for free, but it shouldn’t be the only site. That’s the mistake I made with the yard sale that flopped a few years ago, with few attendees and even fewer sales. One of those attendees explained that veteran shoppers check the sites devoted to yard and garage sales. (Search for “yard sales near me” to see which ones pop up and offer free listings.)
This time, we advertised on a few of those sites plus Craigslist, Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace. We also used some of our social media accounts to let local friends know about our sale. We employed old-school signage as well: bright yellow yard sale signs, scored from a dollar store and duct-taped at several local intersections with the address, date and time drawn large enough for passing drivers to easily see.
We also made our sale “a shopping experience,” in Seidler’s words. That meant borrowing tables and clothes racks from friends to keep things off the ground, grouping like items together and, toward the end, creating bundles of items and slashing prices. For example, we scooped all the leftover craft items into a box and sold the lot for $5. (By this point in the day, I no longer cared whose items were whose; I just wanted it all off my driveway.)
Our five-hour sale was a blast and netted around $600. As mentioned above, we didn’t keep careful track of how much money we brought into the sale, so how much we cleared is a matter of some debate. We’ll pay more attention next time, because there definitely will be a next time. | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/how-to-make-more-green-at-your-next-yard-sale/ | 2022-06-04 16:27:43 | 0 | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/how-to-make-more-green-at-your-next-yard-sale/ |
Little Words Project will be available in 900 Target Stores and on Target.com
MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J., Oct. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This October 2022, Little Words Project, the Original Word Bracelet brand, will be sold in 900 Target locations nationwide and on Target.com beginning October 28th.
Adriana Carrig, CEO of Little Words Project, founded the brand in 2013 with the intention of creating a movement about kindness and positivity. After experiencing bullying and negativity throughout her life, she started making bracelets in college to foster community and encouragement in her sorority. It didn't take long for her to realize that this simple act of kindness could become a business. She started making bracelets out of her parents' basement and is now at the helm of a rapidly growing and much-loved brand. Entering Target is a huge step for the business, helping to propel their mission of spreading kindness to the masses.
Little Words Project bracelets feature an inspirational word that is meant to uplift the wearer, and eventually be passed on to someone else who needs it more. This pay-it-forward movement has fostered an extremely engaged and loyal community. In recent years, celebrities have quickly become advocates for the brand including celebrities like Alicia Keys, Kourtney Kardashian, Paula Abdul, Lizzo, Eva Longoria and many others.
Since launch, the brand has seen explosive growth with no end in sight. After grassroots marketing efforts resulted in 4x ecommerce growth in 2020, the brand is continuing to grow 2x YoY from 2021 through 2023. Their boutique wholesale business has doubled revenue year over year, and their social channels (Instagram) are achieving +63% follower growth year over year. In 2021, the brand launched its first flagship brick and mortar store in Manhattan's West Village and, this year, has self-funded the expansion of 5 additional locations (Georgetown, Nolita, Miami, Boston and Pier Village on the Jersey Shore). Giving back is also at the heart of Little Words Project's core values. To date, Little Words Project has raised over $150k for a range of charitable causes from cancer, mental health, LGBTQIA and anti-bullying efforts.
"From the moment we had our first meeting together, I just knew we were meant to bring Little Words to the Target guest. Designing this exclusive collection has been such a dream, and I know our customers will show up at Target in droves to shop us there. This is definitely a pinch-me moment," says Adriana Carrig, Founder and CEO of Little Words Project.
The exclusive collection of Target bracelets and phone charms are available at select Target stores and online at Target.com, at their standard retail pricing of $25. Each store included in their distribution will feature a full branded endcap, serving as a destination for Target guests to immerse themselves in the feel-good brand while building their exclusive bracelet stack.
All of this, plus so much more, accomplished all of this with no outside investment.

Founded in 2013 by recent college graduate Adriana Carrig, from her parents' basement, Little Words Project creates handcrafted word bracelets with words of kindness and motivation. The brand has a cult following of loyal customers and boasts celebrity fans including Lizzo, Eva Longoria, Kourtney Kardashian, and more. In 2021, LWP opened its flagship location on Bleecker Street in Manhattan's West Village with plans to expand nationwide. In 2022, Little Words Project has raised over $150k for charity and continues its commitment to giving back through its Little Words, Big Impact initiative.

New Lineup Includes Award-Winning MoodUP Refrigerator, Induction Slide-in Range for Multifunctional Cooking
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA is unveiling a number of game-changing kitchen innovations under the LG STUDIO brand at KBIS 2023. Included in the new line is the award-winning MoodUP™ by LG STUDIO, a groundbreaking refrigerator that allows users to create a customized lighting scheme for the refrigerator with a wide range of vibrant colors to suit their mood or the environment. Also included in this year's LG STUDIO lineup is a new induction slide-in range featuring Air Fry and Air Sous Vide.
MoodUP by LG STUDIO
Delivering unrivaled design flexibility and a new way to create a stylish, personalized kitchen, MoodUP by LG STUDIO allows users to tailor their refrigerator to their mood with customizable LED door panels and an integrated Bluetooth speaker. Through the LG ThinQ™ app, users can choose from 23 colors for the upper (refrigerator) door panel and 19 colors for the lower (freezer), giving them the ability to instantly change the atmosphere of their kitchen into a creative environment.
In addition to the stunning, interchangeable color options, LG's new 21-cubic-foot refrigerator brings music to the kitchen with a built-in Bluetooth® speaker that can be easily connected to a smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC. Plus, it's designed with convenient alerts that include illuminating and blinking door panels which activate when the refrigerator or freezer compartment has been left open – helping to prevent cold air loss and unnecessary energy consumption.
With its LED door panels switched off, the refrigerator offers a more traditional look in the kitchen with a combination of Lux Gray and Lux White (upper/lower panel, respectively). The sleek, timeless finish harmonizes with any décor and evokes the natural, subtle contrast of different colored stones.
LG STUDIO Induction Slide-In Range
New to LG STUDIO's cooking lineup is the Induction Slide-In Range with Air Fry and Air Sous Vide. The new range delivers performance, efficiency and flexibility with an UltraHeat™ burner (up to 4.3Kw), multifunctional cooking modes, and a large 6.3-cubic-foot capacity. It offers convenient features such as InstaView®, which allows users to easily check the cooking progress with two quick knocks that illuminate the window.
The range features several cooking modalities to adapt to users' cooking needs, including Air Fry to deliver a crispy flavor fast with no preheating needed – saving time and counter space. Using low oven temperatures and airflow around vacuum-sealed ingredients, Air Sous Vide locks in moisture to deliver proteins that are tender, juicy and delicious. And for even baking on every rack, ProBake Convection® offers the gold standard in convection technology. For even more cooking flexibility, the induction elements offer speed heating, precision and responsiveness, resulting in super-fast boiling and scorch-free simmering, and LG STUDIO's exclusive red LED Bar Design displays power level settings for convenient monitoring.
Unique to the LG STUDIO Slide-In Range is its pro-style aesthetic featuring statement-worthy metal knobs that illuminate when active and a SmoothTouch™ glass display control panel to help deliver a sophisticated look and performance. It lines up with standard kitchen countertops, allowing users to achieve a streamlined, custom appearance. The range is also equipped with a Soft Close door, which operates smoothly and slowly, giving users a sense of luxury and ease.

Packer softball team battles back, but falls short in Byron, will play Faribault in elimination game
Published 8:38 pm Tuesday, May 24, 2022
The No. 7 seeded Austin softball team put a scare into No. 2 seeded Byron (13-5 overall) as the Bears barely hung on to win 10-9 in a Section 1AAA Tournament opener in Byron Tuesday.
The Packers scored five runs in the top of the fifth when Lucy Lagervall blasted a three-run homer, but Austin wasn’t able to tie or take the lead.
“It was really great to see the girls bring the momentum from the Kasson game last week into this one,” Austin head coach Lisa Lage said. “We got down early, but we came back. Then at the end, we did not go out quietly.”
Austin tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the fourth, but Byron scored three runs in the fifth and three in the sixth to go up 10-4.
Austin will now play Faribault in an elimination game at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in Todd Park.
