Members of the Congressional Black Caucus on Wednesday celebrated the start of Black History Month, a time when Black culture and excellence are recognized around the nation.
“As we kick off Black History Month 2023, we are proud of the achievements of our members in various leadership roles throughout Congress,“ the caucus tweeted. “We are especially proud of our Democratic Leader @RepJeffries, making history as the first Black person to lead a party in Congress.”
Black History Month was established by Carter G. Woodson in 1926 as Negro History Week.
Woodson’s organization, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, chose the second week in February because it was the week of both Frederick Douglass’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays.
In 1976, President Ford extended the week into a full month as a way to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”
“This Black History Month, I’m reflecting on the achievements and contributions of Black Americans that have moved our country forward,” tweeted Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.). “I’m proud to be a part of this history, and I am thankful to stand on the shoulders of those who fought for equality and justice.”
In addition to recognizing the contributions of Black Americans, Black History Month has a theme each year.
This year’s theme, according to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, is Black Resistance.
“Today, I’m thinking of my parents, who worked in the Civil Rights Movement, and all those who have come before me,” tweeted Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.). “I am now a United States Congresswoman & a leader of @TheBlackCaucus. I fight for my community with the legacy of my son, Jordan, in my heart.”
But even as caucus members celebrated, they issued a call to action.
The month kicked off with news that the College Board would be revising its Advanced Placement African American studies course amid criticism from Republican leaders. It included removing Black queer studies and Black feminism, as well as work by prominent Black scholars associated with critical race theory.
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) took the floor Wednesday to urge Americans to recognize that “Black history is American history.”
“Black history is about the sung and unsung Black heroes and sheroes who have contributed to our nation’s progress from the Revolutionary War to the fight against COVID and everything in between,” she said.
“I believe whether it is teaching AP Black history courses or standing on this House floor that when we acknowledge the unique struggle of Black Americans through history, we grow closer to our nation’s highest ideals.”
As part of that, Beatty introduced the Black History is American History Act. The bill would require the inclusion of Black history as a mandatory component in order for schools to be considered for American History and Civics Academies grants administered by the Department of Education.
In his Black History Month message, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) said understanding that Black history is American history is “so important.”
“I don’t think of Black History Month as a way of limiting Black history to one month. Indeed it cannot be contained,” he said. “Rather, Black History Month is a way of accentuating in February the history we live with deep love and sometimes through intense struggle — but we live that history every single day.”
But Black History Month also began with the funeral of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who was brutally beaten by police officers in Memphis, Tenn., and eventually died from his injuries, something members also acknowledged.
“Looking at what faces us, it can be easy to despair,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) tweeted. “But during Black History Month, I am filled with hope and inspiration from those who came before–challenging and overcoming seemingly insurmountable barriers.” | https://www.fox16.com/hill-politics/congressional-black-caucus-celebrates-black-history-month/ | 2023-02-02 16:46:30 | 1 | https://www.fox16.com/hill-politics/congressional-black-caucus-celebrates-black-history-month/ |
Which mascara is best, Lancome or Maybelline?
When deciding which mascara to buy, you have a choice of colors and formulas, including waterproof formulas, and those that lengthen, volumize and curl lashes. You also have the choice of premium beauty and drugstore brands. Lancome mascaras are top-selling luxury products. Maybelline differs by offering some of the popular mascaras in the drugstore category.
Both Lancome and Maybelline make a wide selection of mascara formulas. However, Lancome’s high-end mascaras come with premium price tags. Maybelline mascaras are available at appealing budget-friendly prices.
Lancome mascara
Lancome distances itself from many brands on the market for high-performing products with patented ingredients. It makes several fan-favorite mascaras that are known for producing excellent results that include darker, longer and thicker lashes.
In addition to premium formulas, Lancome also makes mascara brushes that are designed to coat each lash while they lift and enhance the lash line. They also define without leaving behind clumps.
Lancome mascara pros
Whether you choose a Lancome mascara that lengthens, thickens or curls, chances are you’ll be impressed with the results. That’s because the brand uses quality ingredients that produce lash looks that beauty enthusiasts love. The brand’s top-selling mascaras come in standard and waterproof formulas to suit different customers’ needs. However, both options provide long wear that lasts all day.
Another benefit of Lancome mascara is that it’s made without harsh additives such as sulfates, triclosan, phthalates, silicone and formaldehyde. Most of the brand’s top formulas are easy to find online from trusted retailers, including Amazon, Macy’s, Sephora and Ulta Beauty.
Lancome mascara cons
The most obvious downside of Lancome mascara is the price, which makes it impractical for some budgets. Depending on the formula, a tube will cost $25-$37. This can get costly over time, especially for mascara wearers who apply it every day.
While Lancome mascara is known for producing outstanding results, some users occasionally complain of concerns such as flaking and unimpressive volume. While these complaints are common in most mascaras, they can be even more disappointing with high-priced luxury mascaras that come at high prices.
Best Lancome mascaras
Lancome Hypnose Drama Waterproof Mascara
This top-selling Lancome mascara is waterproof and offers all-day wear in a volumizing formula. Because it doesn’t tend to flake, it’s a good choice for those who wear contact lenses.
Sold by Amazon
Lancome Idole Lash Lifting and Volumizing Mascara
The unique curved brush of Idole mascara does a good job lifting and curling lashes. The special formula lengthens lashes while giving them noticeable volume. The long-wearing color lasts for hours.
Sold by Sephora
Lancome Definicils High-Definition Mascara
If you need a mascara that defines every lash and gives them a longer appearance, Definicils is the one to buy. It features a classic straight brush that’s simple to control and works well for small, lower lashes. The highly-pigmented formula makes lashes pop.
Sold by Amazon
Maybelline mascara
Maybelline is one of the most trusted drugstore brands on the market, and its mascaras are arguably some of the most popular available. The company makes a large selection of formulas, including several longtime favorites that have been top-sellers for generations.
Whether you prefer standard or waterproof mascara, Maybelline has you covered. Most of the brand’s formulas are available in a choice of both options.
Maybelline mascara pros
Not everyone can spend $20 or more on mascara. That’s where a brand like Maybelline comes in. Their affordable mascaras range in price from $6-$12 a tube, which is a fraction of the cost of premium brands like Lancome. What’s more, many Maybelline mascaras are known for producing natural-looking lashes.
Premium mascaras are often preferred for the exceptional results they deliver. However, Maybelline offers numerous types of mascaras that lengthen, thicken and define just about as well as their pricier counterparts. Although the waterproof mascaras provide reliable wear in wet conditions, they are also easy to remove from lashes with makeup remover.
Maybelline mascara cons
If you are looking for a mascara that produces dramatic results, some Maybelline mascaras fall short. Volumizing and lengthening mascaras by the brand are your best options. Additionally, some customers complain about clumps and subpar brushes.
Because it’s a drugstore brand, Maybelline products can readily be found at brick-and-mortar stores. However, many online retailers that sell beauty products only offer premium products. If you want to buy Maybelline mascaras online, Amazon and Ulta are two well-known retailers that offer a nice selection.
Best Maybelline mascaras
Maybelline Sky High Lash Sensational Volumizing Mascara
When it comes to a mascara that does it all, Sky High Lash Sensational Mascara is made to impress. It lifts, lengthens and volumizes while providing all-day wear. The flexible brush coats even the smallest lashes while eliminating clumps.
Sold by Amazon
Maybelline Full ‘N Soft Waterproof Mascara
Maybelline’s Full ‘N Soft Mascara lives up to its name by creating a full appearance without making lashes stiff or clumpy. Although the waterproof formula wears for hours in wet conditions, it’s simple to remove with mild soap and water or a quality eye makeup remover.
Sold by Amazon
This classic Maybelline mascara is one of the most iconic options by the brand, and has been popular for decades. It’s great for creating natural-looking lashes, but is also buildable for bolder, more dramatic looks. Thanks to the low price, Great Lash is also one of the most affordable mascaras by Maybelline.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get Lancome or Maybelline mascara?
Both Lancome and Maybelline produce quality mascaras that have earned many loyal customers over the years. While Lancome mascaras are a good choice for those who prefer luxury cosmetics, Maybelline mascara is ideal for budget-minded beauty enthusiasts. While you can’t go wrong with mascaras by either brand, the best choice for you will ultimately depend on your budget.

Sen. Tina Smith & six of her colleagues ask Biden to release Leonard Peltier from prison
WASHINGTON (KVRR) – Seven senators, including Minnesota’s Tina Smith, send President Biden a letter requesting commuting the sentence of Native activist Leonard Peltier.
He was convicted of murdering two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in 1975 and his trial was held in Fargo.
“It would really be an awesome feeling to know that we get to know him as a person versus knowing him, for me, has always been through the books. Through the documentaries,” Peltier’s daughter Kathy said.
Leonard Peltier has been behind bars for 46 years. He’s considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International.
The seven Democratic senators asking for his release cite former U.S. Attorney for Iowa James Reynolds, a prosecutor during Peltier’s appeal, saying “the prosecution and continued incarceration of Mr. Peltier was and is unjust.”
“You’ve got to look at the ballistic testing. His bullets didn’t match. There’s been testifying that he… Yeah, he did shoot, but it didn’t hit them, the two FBI agents,” Kathy Peltier explained.
They also show support from his release from world leaders like Pope Francis, Nelson Mandela and Saint Mother Teresa over the years.
In a statement to KVRR, Smith says “Leonard Peltier dedicated his life to combatting racism and championing civil rights. There is evidence of serious misconduct that led to his unjust conviction and that he was a target of the racism he was working to dismantle. Multiple officials who prosecuted him have since acknowledged the injustices of his trial. He should be granted clemency, and each day he remains in prison is unjust.”
“Let’s take some action. To me this is just talk right now,” Kathy Peltier said.
This action from Capitol Hill has come since the Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native to become a cabinet secretary, met with the Peltier family.
Now at age 77, Peltier has numerous health issues. His daughter says he has suffered an Aortic aneurysm, diabetes, a prostate issue that could be cancerous and had a triple bypass. Peltier got COVID in January and his daughter says he hasn’t seen a specialist.
She believes, based on these issues and senators being behind her, he should be let out of prison to enjoy what time he has left with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Peltier is up for parole in 2024.

Perpetua's ninth annual Sustainability Report and the first developed in alignment with SASB reporting framework.
BOISE, Idaho, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) ("Perpetua Resources" or "Perpetua" or the "Company") released its 2021 Sustainability Report highlighting the Company's key achievements and progress in advancing its environmental, social and governance ("ESG") goals. The report, which provides transparent disclosure of material ESG topics, is the Company's ninth annual sustainability report and was developed in alignment with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") reporting framework for the Metals and Mining industry.
"In 2021, Perpetua Resources took significant steps toward fulfilling our commitment to become a responsible mining company," said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. "We launched a citizen's water monitoring program, entered an antimony supply agreement to support the development of a clean energy storage battery and signed an agreement to start early environmental cleanup actions at site. Our annual sustainability report is an opportunity for our team to reflect on our accomplishments and is a tool to hold us accountable to the commitments we've made to our stakeholders."
Perpetua Resources' 2021 Sustainability Report provides an in-depth look at the Company's achievements over the last year to advance its vision to provide the U.S. with a domestic source of the critical mineral antimony, develop one of the largest and highest-grade open pit gold mines in the country, and restore an abandoned brownfield site.
- 100% safe fuel hauls and 118 months with no reportable spills
- 67% female executive management and 33% gender or ethnically diverse board of directors
- 44% of site operations powered with solar power and first Greenhouse Gas emissions audit
- 83 community presentations and meetings
- 73 months with no lost time incidents
- Adopted the SASB reporting framework and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- Launched an independent citizen's water monitoring program
- Signed an agreement to improve water quality at Stibnite
"Responsible mining and a more sustainable future go hand in hand," said Sayer. "Support for mining in America will be influenced by our willingness to be transparent and accountable to our stakeholders, our dedication to positive environmental outcomes, and our ability to maintain the trust of our communities. As an aspiring modern mine developer, Perpetua is committed to robust ESG policies and practices and is continually thinking about how our actions will affect future generations of Idahoans."

Perpetua Resources Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is focused on the exploration, site restoration and redevelopment of gold-antimony-silver deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of central Idaho that are encompassed by the Stibnite Gold Project. The Project is one of the highest-grade, open pit gold deposits in the United States and is designed to apply a modern, responsible mining approach to restore an abandoned mine site and produce both gold and the only mined source of antimony in the United States. Further advancing Perpetua Resources' ESG and sustainable mining goals, the Project will be powered by the lowest carbon emissions grid in the nation and a portion of the antimony produced from the Project will be supplied to Ambri, a US-based company commercializing a low-cost liquid metal battery essential for the low-carbon energy transition. In addition to the company's commitments to transparency, accountability, environmental stewardship, safety and community engagement, Perpetua Resources adopted formal ESG commitments which can be found here.

One of Ukraine's leading ballet artists is being remembered as a "courageous romantic" after being killed on the battlefield.
The National Opera of Ukraine announced, with "indescribable sadness," the death of Oleksandr Shapoval, one of the company's former principal dancers and a teacher at Kyiv State Choreographic College.
Shapoval died Monday at the age of 48 "under enemy mortar shelling," according to the statement.
Within days of Russia's invasion, Shapoval volunteered to serve in Ukraine's territorial defense, helping to protect Kyiv's Left Bank. He then learned how to launch grenades. According to The National Opera of Ukraine, his unit was recently transferred to one of "the hottest zones" in the war-torn country. Citing the media outlet Ukraina Moloda, The Kyiv Independent reports that Shapoval was killed in the battle of Majorsk in the Donetsk region.
Shapoval was an "Honored Artist of Ukraine," an official award given for high achievement in the performing arts. Over the course of 28 seasons, he performed some 30 different roles. "He charmed them with his bright and beautiful, romantic and heroic dance, impeccable skill and deep conviction of every image he created on stage," the company writes.
Renowned Russian-American choreographer Alexei Ratmansky paid tribute to Shapoval on Facebook. Ratmansky's United Ukrainian Ballet Company is made up of some 60 Ukrainian refugee artists.
"Many of our dancers were friends with him, worked or studied with him," Ratmansky writes, "I remember Sasha so well, he danced in my first ballets in Kyiv. He died defending his land with arms in his hands. Eternal memory and gratitude to the Hero!"
Ratmansky also expressed his outrage. "Damn war, damn Russian aggression that brings death and destruction!!"
Another artist with The National Opera of Ukraine, Artem Datsyshyn, was killed in March.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Zia Cooke scored 19 points and Kierra Fletcher had 15 as No. 1 South Carolina spoiled Tennessee’s pack-the-paint strategy in a 73-60 victory Thursday night.
The Gamecocks (28-0, 15-0 Southeastern Conference) clinched at least a tie for the regular-season conference title.
“We’re blessed,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “We’re a low-maintenance, high-performance team. Can’t ask for more than that.”
The Lady Volunteers (20-10, 12-3) jammed the middle, trying to limit opportunities for star Aliyah Boston and daring the Gamecocks to beat them from the perimeter. Boston finished with 11 points.
“(Boston) is a high-level IQ basketball player,” Staley said. “She doesn’t force things. She always makes the right basketball play.”
Fletcher and Cooke combined to hit 5 of 8 3-pointers. The Gamecocks dominated the rebounding 48-34, with 20 of them on the offensive glass. Kamilla Cardoso had 15 boards and Brea Beal had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Sixteen of those offensive rebounds came in the first half.
“South Carolina … is a load,” said Tennessee coach Kellie Harper. “No one’s been able to crack them this year.”
“We had some schematic issues in the first half,” she said. “We’d have people sag off (on defense) but not box out.”
Rickea Jackson scored 21 points for Tennessee, which led 19-10 after the first quarter. Jordan Horston had 14 points and 11 rebounds and Karoline Striplin added 11 points.
Nine straight third-quarter points, five by Fletcher, turned a close game into a double-digit difference.
South Carolina had a 17-point run in the second quarter as it rallied from 10 down to later take a 33-29 halftime lead. Cooke scored eight straight points in that stretch.
The Lady Vols were held scoreless for more than 6 minutes before Striplin hit a 3-pointer just before the break.
“It takes a little bit of time,” Staley said of figuring out the Lady Vols’ strategy. “It takes time to figure out where the holes are. We had to maintain our defense.”
The Gamecocks went the final 4:44 of the first quarter without scoring as Tennessee built a nine-point lead.
“We lost our pace in the second quarter,” Harper said. “We got some offensive rebounds and looked so excited to get them.”
POLL IMPLICATIONS
South Carolina: The Gamecocks have been on top of the poll for 35 weeks, while winning 33 straight games. That’s third-most all-time behind UConn (51 weeks) and Louisiana Tech (36). … Sunday’s overtime escape from Mississippi State cost South Carolina one No. 1 vote this week, keeping the Gamecocks from being a unanimous selection for the first time all season. No. 2 Indiana got the one vote.
Tennessee: The Lady Vols have now lost to each of the top five teams in the poll. That statistic makes it easy to understand how they have to toughest schedule in the country.
BIG PICTURE
South Carolina: Since 1981-82, the NCAA Tournament era, only nine teams have had unbeaten seasons. UConn has done it six times and Baylor, Tennessee and Texas have done it once. … Ten of the 14 players on the Gamecocks’ roster are at least 6 feet tall.
Tennessee: Despite having three conference losses, the Lady Vols have locked up a double-bye for the SEC Tournament. … Horston came into the game with 427 assists, two behind Kristen Clement for No. 10 all-time in the Tennessee record book. … Tennessee junior Tess Darby has been named to the SEC Community Service Team for her involvement in a service trip to Rwanda through the university.
UP NEXT
South Carolina: Georgia will visit South Carolina on Sunday. Earlier this year, the Gamecocks beat the Bulldogs by 17 points.
Tennessee: The Lady Vols will close out their regular-season schedule at Kentucky on Sunday. The two teams have not met this season.

Father dies after falling over 100 feet from an Oregon trail’s cliff while hiking with family, authorities say
By Joe Sutton and Ashley R. Williams, CNN
(CNN) — An Oregon man died on a hike with this family after falling from a cliff at a popular natural recreation site, according to law enforcement.
The 40-year-old man, his wife and five children were hiking at Multnomah Falls, located about 30 miles east of downtown Portland, when he either slipped or stumbled, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson John Plock told CNN.
The fall happened Saturday around a half mile up the trail, according to Plock.
“He slid down a steep hill and then fell off a cliff,” Plock said. “We estimate it was a 100 to 150-foot fall.”
After the father fell, his family and others were unable to see where he landed, Plock told CNN affiliate KATU.
The sheriff’s department and Corbett Fire District responded and searched for the man, finding his body about 45 minutes after the incident occurred, according to tweets from the agencies.
The family is from the Portland metro area, according to authorities.
Multnomah Falls has more than 2 million visitors annually and is the most-visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest, according to the US Forest Service website.
In August 2022, a woman hiking with friends along the Multnomah Falls-Larch Mountain Trail died after a head injury from an approximately 100-foot fall, CNN previously reported.

For the first time since late 2019, the Transportation Security Administration processed more than 2.5 million travelers in a single day at the nation’s airports on Sunday.
While the weekend was TSA’s busiest since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, air travel remains below pre-pandemic levels.
According to TSA data, 2.56 million travelers went through TSA checkpoints on Sunday. On the same day in 2019, TSA screened 2.88 million passengers.
From Wednesday through Sunday, TSA screened over 10.6 million passengers. During the same weekend in 2019, TSA screened over 11.7 million passengers.
Air transportation took a major hit during the pandemic. TSA screened about 4.6 million passengers during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in 2020.

KFI Studios introduces a new aesthetic and sustainable ergonomic office chair, Jade, the first task chair to use recycled PET felt
LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KFI Studios, a recognized leader in commercial furniture and pushing sustainable modern design forward, today, introduced the Jade task chair designed by award-winning product design firm, UNION Design. Jade is a sustainable ergonomic task chair that is the first to use recycled PET felt components instead of virgin plastic. Using PET felt, made from recycled plastic bottles with the soft feel of felt, the design is elevated beyond what any typical plastic chair could accomplish, while being both highly durable and cleanable.
The soft rounded shape and touchable finishes is what sets Jade apart from other task chairs. Jade's design aims to be inviting and comfortable, bringing a residential feel to commercial interiors.
PET felt is used for the back cover, the seat bottom and as an option for the arm pads; all of which can be recycled at end-of-life. To help reduce textile waste, Jade is upholstered in REPREVE® 3D Shape Knit instead of traditional cut and sew textiles. REPREVE® is the world's leading brand of recycled performance fiber. Rounding out the use of sustainable materials is a recyclable steel frame, FSC-certified wood base and eco-friendly foam; all which can be easily disassembled for recycling.
For effortless comfort, Jade automatically adjusts to the user's body. Seat cushions are rounded down to alleviate pressure on the back of legs and both the height-adjustment and tilt lock controls are discreetly integrated into the front corners of the seat, eliminating the need for unsightly levers and knobs.
"Jade brings new aesthetics, ergonomics and sustainability to the mainstay task chair, providing all day comfort without sacrificing beauty," said Chris Smith, CEO of KFI Studios. "The gentle, elegant forms of Jade along with its minimal impact on the environment makes Jade a refreshing option for any commercial or residential interior."
Jade is available in 20 bespoke colorways with colors including Charcoal, Cloud, Currant, Emerald, Fern, Forest, Garnet, Midnight, Mist, Ocean, Sage, Sand, Stone, Sunset, Black, White, Grey and Silver.
Jade is available for contract customers via authorized KFI Studios' reps and dealers with a list price of $1,658.

The U.S. Department of Transportation on Thursday launched an online dashboard for Americans dealing with flight cancellations or delays, a website that details what each airline has committed to providing customers if their travel plans are derailed.
The Airline Customer Service Dashboard features the top 10 U.S. airlines and the services they’ll offer if they cancel or delay your flight for reasons within their control, such as staffing or mechanical issues.
The new site is meant to be a one-stop shop for Americans to figure out what they’re owed, senior administration officials said, especially when your flight is canceled or delayed and “you're scrambling to figure out what your rights are.”
If an airline cancels your flight, for example, most every airline will now rebook you within the company at no additional cost.
Just five airlines — American, Delta, Hawaiian, JetBlue and United — will rebook you on a different airline at no additional cost.
Most airlines also now commit to giving you meal vouchers if you’re delayed more than three hours, and many will also pay for your hotel and transportation to a hotel if you’re pushed to a flight the next day.
Officials noted that customers are also entitled to a full refund if they decide not to travel at all after a significant delay or cancellation.
It’s part of a renewed effort from the Transportation Department to push airlines to not only avoid travel disruptions but to make it right when they interfere with customers’ travel plans.
Airlines canceled 3.1% of scheduled domestic flights in June, the latest month of data available from the transportation department. That’s up from 1.6% last year.
And airline complaints remain 270% higher than pre-pandemic levels, most of them about delays and cancellations.
Sec. Pete Buttigieg wrote a letter to airlines earlier this month warning about the forthcoming dashboard and calling on them to improve their customer service plans. He called the number of summer flight cancellations “unacceptable.”
Senior administration officials credited that letter for turning things around, and they said that airlines have since stepped up the services they offer in the case of disruptions.
No airlines guaranteed hotels or meals before the letter, one official said, yet now seven out of ten are doing both.
The dashboard provides a chart of most airlines’ customer service policies, for easy access.
“Passengers deserve transparency and clarity on what to expect from an airline when there is a cancellation or disruption,” said Sec. Buttigieg in a statement.
“This dashboard collects that information in one place so travelers can easily understand their rights, compare airline practices, and make informed decisions.”
DOT has also proposed a rule that would strengthen the department’s ability to enforce refunds for canceled or delayed flights. It would also require airlines to provide vouchers or flight credits that don’t expire when a person can’t fly for pandemic-related reasons, such as travel bans or their health. | https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2022/08/31/dot-dashboard-flight-cancellations-delays | 2022-09-01 12:21:55 | 0 | https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2022/08/31/dot-dashboard-flight-cancellations-delays |

Indiana will have its starting quarterback back when the Hoosiers take on No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
Connor Bazelak, who has thrown 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 55% of his passes for 5.5 yards per attempt, missed the Hoosiers’ 45-14 loss to then-No. 15 Penn State last week with an undisclosed injury, but he has returned to practice and remains IU’s starter as it gets set to face the Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten).
“He was beat up pretty good,” IU coach Tom Allen said of holding Bazelak out against the Nittany Lions. ”So there’s multiple things and just wasn’t able to, I believe, play at the level he needed to play at to be what we needed him to be.”
Bazelak spent the game against Penn State in the coaches box with offensive coordinator Walt Bell. Bell feels seeing the game from that perspective is a good learning experience for any quarterback.
“The first thing you realize when you go to the press box is just how much slower the game really is than it looks when you’re playing it,” Bell said. “Especially when we’re on offense and we’re calling plays and doing our deal, it’s great repetition for those guys, driving their eyes where they’re supposed to go, reacting accordingly, making decisions in their own brain.
“You just start to learn another level of football. You understand there’s levels to the mental game of football.”
Bazelak will start against a Buckeyes defense that is giving up just 6.2 yards per pass attempt, 11th-best in the country. Bazelak is 114th of 115 qualified FBS quarterbacks in yards per attempt.
If the starter struggles, the Hoosiers learned against Penn State they have other options at the position. Backup Jack Tuttle, who plans to transfer after the season, was having one of his best games early against the Nittany Lions, going 9 for 12 for 82 yards and a passing touchdown, carried six times for 35 yards and picked up a couple of key first downs.
In the second quarter, Tuttle was sacked, the fourth sack he took in the game, and left the game with what Allen later described as a shoulder injury. It’s unclear whether Tuttle will be available Saturday in case of injury or ineffectiveness from Bazelak.
After Tuttle left, the Hoosiers turned to true freshman Brendan Sorsby, who was 3-for-6 passing for eight yards and an interception. In the third quarter, Indiana made yet another change and went to Dexter Williams II, a redshirt sophomore making his collegiate debut after missing all of last season with a torn ACL.
Williams’ passing stats were not impressive – 4 for 11 for 41 yards and two interceptions, one of which was tipped at the line – but he displayed some arm talent and he also ran four times for 24 yards, a threat which opened space for IU running backs, as well. He led Indiana to a touchdown on its final possession.
Allen envisions Sorsby and Williams battling for the starting job at some point in the coming years, but came away from Saturday more impressed with Williams’ play and did not rule out getting him some snaps against the Buckeyes even if Bazelak remains healthy.
“I saw enough from Dexter that I was very encouraged by the way he responded and the way he played,” Allen said. “I like the way he threw the football. Obviously had one poor decision, but I thought the way he ran the football was something that we need, and can help us for sure.
“I think that Dexter showed me that he’s earned a right to be able to be out there. That will definitely be a part of the moving forward equation.”
Bell has praised Williams’ physical talents since fall camp.
“He’s got all the natural physical skills,” Bell said of Williams. “He loves ball and he’s a studier and he’s a worker. … So many times you hear guys talk about ‘physical tools’ the natural assumption is he must lack the mental. That’s not the case. Dex is unrefined right now and we have to catch up some of the other tools with the really sharp ones, but he does have a lot of ability.”
Regardless of which quarterback plays, the Hoosiers are still having trouble keeping their passer upright. Penn State had six sacks Saturday and Allen again expressed consternation about the play of his offensive line. Indiana fired line coach Darren Hiller in October and elevated former Hoosiers center Rod Carey to the role for the rest of the season.
“I feel like it’s really difficult up front not being able to give our backs a chance to get seams to run through and the quarterbacks time to throw,” Allen said. “That to me is really the bottom line. It’s not good enough, and it’s killing us right now. It’s making it very, very difficult for our offense. I don’t care who the quarterback is.
“There’s no magic scheme. You have to block them up front. … I’m excited about these young quarterbacks, but at the same time we have to get better up front so we can highlight those guys and let them do what they do.” | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/colleges/iu/hoosiers-keeping-options-open-at-qb-vs-ohio-state/article_f956654e-6070-11ed-a918-a7a757cf1029.html | 2022-11-10 06:48:22 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/colleges/iu/hoosiers-keeping-options-open-at-qb-vs-ohio-state/article_f956654e-6070-11ed-a918-a7a757cf1029.html |

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta attend the "Grease" 40th anniversary screening in August 2018 in Beverly Hills, California. Travolta paid tribute to the late actress on Instagram on August 8.
Actor John Travolta, who co-starred with Olivia Newton-John in the hit movie musical "Grease," has posted a statement in tribute to the late singer.
"My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better," the actor wrote on Instagram. "Your impact was incredible. I love you so much."
Newton-John and Travolta gained international fame when in 1978 when they starred as bad boy Danny and sweet Sandy in the movie musical "Grease."
Just a few years ago, the pair revisited their roles for one special night in West Palm Beach, Florida when they attended a sing-along of the movie and a Q&A session at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre.
Newton-John wore her signature yellow skirt and matching cardigan, complete with the white button up. Travolta wore a classic leather jacket, with his hair slicked back.
It was the first time the two had been in costume since they first made the movie more than 40 years ago, Newton-John wrote on Instagram at the time.
In his tribute, Travolta added, "We will see you down the road and we will all be together again."
He signed it: "Yours from the moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John."

Revived Furniture: Experience the ‘wow’ factor and find tons of fall decorating ideas.
Home decor guru Carolyn Leiter, co-owner of Revived Furniture and Home Decor in Londonderry, says customers enjoy the fall season because it’s a signal that cooler weather is coming.
“We’ve just gotten over the hot heat for the summer. People love to decorate for the fall,” she explained.
To guide customers, Leiter creates live demos on the company’s app.
For a recent fall-oriented “Sunflower Thursday” presentation, Leiter created a faux floral “spiced sunset arrangement” using a tall terracotta gray pitcher with olive green grass stems, maple leaves in reds, yellows and oranges, and a brown berry stem with variegated green leaves, all “the colors of New England.”
She bent the stems to create height differences, then added a sunflower spray in burnt orange, because, she said, the colors remind her of the baking spices people use in autumn, like nutmeg or cinnamon.
“When they come in the store, they’re inspired to create a really comfy, warm home. A lot of what we sell is inspirational,” said Leiter.
Besides fostering that inspiration on live presentations, their Facebook page buzzes with activity and photos of fall displays with flowers, candlesticks, ghosts, welcome signs, decorative garlands, vases and more.
Leiter and her husband, Richard, opened Revived Furniture in Derry in 2015, inspired by Richard’s love of furniture restoration and rebuilding, and Carolyn’s knack for decorating.
“It was just born out of Richard having this passion for old furniture and making it new again. I’m more of the home-decor person. So that works out well — one helps the other,” she said.
Colors of fall
Store visitors are greeted by the Flower Bar a large selection of faux floral decorations in different styles and colors that varies seasonally.
This month, New England’s fall colors abound, with faux sunflowers, eucalyptus stems, pampas grass and more, in shades like burgundy, bright yellow, deep purples and reds.
Though vibrant oranges are trending this year, muted colors, like white, turquoise and green, are still popular, such as white pumpkins for a Thanksgiving display.
“All the colors of fall that you see on the trees are represented in our Flower Bar,” said Leiter, adding that it’s been a huge customer draw.
“That’s why people show up in our store. They love these flowers because they look real. And they last a very long time.”
The choices can be intimidating, but, she said, “It’s all about giving people ideas.”
Another fall decor idea is making “tablescapes” — creating a table centerpiece using place mats, a decorated tray, table runners, garlands and more.
The options to decorate your mantel this fall are endless, she said.
“We can create any kind of floral arrangement you want. We have garlands you can put on your mantel. We have artwork you could hang above your mantel, we have candlesticks,” Leiter said.
Their displays also help customers envision how it would look in their home. One recent display features a round tray with a vase holding a faux silver dollar plant in dark green, with small white pumpkins on long stems. A decorative picture frame and a message to “give thanks” completes the display.
A fall reset could be as simple as updating your vases or adding faux eucalyptus stems, which come in multiple colors, or additional pieces, like inspirational signs or even gnomes.
Happy customers
Now located in Londonderry, the business hasn’t stopped growing.
“Crazy busy, crazy popular,” said Leiter. “We have great customers who just love shopping in our store on a regular basis.”
Customer Heather O’Boyle of Londonderry said Revived Furniture is her go-to shop for fresh decor ideas. She described its style as “country but modern, a mixture of everything.” She’s bought furniture there including antique lawn benches, a credenza, shelving and a wedding table.
O’Boyle, who discovered the store three years ago, likes the personal attention they give.
“There’s nothing wrong with (big box) stores. But that personal connection doesn’t take place. It’s such a quaint store, but the staff there and Carolyn actually engage with you.”
O’Boyle is also decorating her new self-care business, Cedar’s Embrace, using their items. “My whole waiting area and reception desk is decorated with Revived.”
She said Leiter knows her personal style so well that she turns to her for gift baskets.
“There could be wreaths in (them). She’s got great greeneries or fall flower displays. She’s got kitchen supplies ... . I live off of (the Revived app),” said O’Boyle.
But she said for customers to get the full effect they should visit the store.
“To get the whole ‘Wow’ factor of this, you have to go in the store. It’s got a big beautiful brick fireplace. The way she decorates is just stunning.”
Besides creating live presentations, Leiter also blogs about decorating. For her post “How to Decorate a Mantel,” Leiter explained how symmetry and varying heights can create interest in a display.
“Sometimes it’ll be about how to style a tray, or how to style open shelving,” she said.
According to Leiter, establishing a focal point is key. This can be done with a large piece of wall art, or by creating a “gallery wall” with your favorite family photos.
“You could even mimic a mantel with an electric fireplace — some of them are really gorgeous. Or you could actually put floating shelves up with a picture on top.”
Leiter said anyone can decorate their home or living space like a pro, and she enjoys showing people how.

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — North Macedonia is planning to pardon more than 1,200 people who face prison sentences because they have failed to pay fines for violating restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justice Minister Nikola Tupancheski said the criminal court in the capital of Skopje has proposed the amnesty, noting that there’s not enough room in jails for those people.
“People who violated the COVID-19 measures were usually fined, as our criminal code stipulates. We are talking about more than 1,200 people for whom, if they do not pay the fine, in a short time the punishment will be transformed into a prison sentence,” Tupancheski said.
He said the criminal court’s amnesty proposal has been passed on to North Macedonia’s parliament.
North Macedonia had imposed movement and other restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus since the first case of COVID–19 had been registered in February 2020. The measures included fines up to 2,000 euros ($2,072) for those who violated the curfew or protocols for a compulsory three weeks of isolation and wearing masks. Most restrictions were abolished in May this year but people must still wear masks in hospitals, pharmacies and on public transport.
The country’s courts imposed fines on more than 6,000 people.
The amnesty will not apply to corporations or other legal entities found to have violated the pandemic restrictions.

Woman sets house on fire over hamburger dispute, affidavit says
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC/Gray News) – A woman in Memphis accused of setting a house on fire after an argument over a hamburger is charged with aggravated arson.
An affidavit obtained by WMC states Pamela Crawley West, 54, had an argument with a woman on Nov. 4 that lasted several minutes.
The woman, who is wheelchair bound, reportedly told officers West said, “Have fun getting out of the house, (explicative),” before slamming the door and going outside.
Moments later, flames were seen coming from the porch.
Investigators say a witness saw West use a cigarette lighter to set a plastic bag of clothes sitting on the porch on fire and before leaving the scene.
The affidavit states there were four adults and three children inside the home at the time of the fire.

US airlines are cutting flights ahead of the 2022 holiday season
(Bounce) - When the world shut down during the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, travel largely shut down with it. Many airlines received significant bailouts and assistance from the United States government to stay afloat while almost everyone remained grounded at home. Now as countries shift into COVID-19 recovery and travel has returned to something close to its pre-pandemic status—with many people embarking on what has been referred to in the industry as “revenge travel”—the airline industry is struggling to catch up and adjust to current conditions.
Airlines have had widespread staffing shortages since the pandemic began—which, when coupled with this surge in demand, resulted in lengthy delays and flight cancellations. Many airlines are attempting to avoid these potential disruptions and delays by canceling flights and dropping routes ahead of time. Canceled flights can be temporary, but dropped routes tend to be permanent. Bounce reviewed recent announcements from top U.S. airlines and looked at how different regions may be impacted as a result of dropped routes and canceled flights.
Keep reading to learn how airlines are adjusting holiday schedules, along with some of the possible factors behind their decisions—from regional shifts in post-pandemic travel to pilot shortages.
American Airlines scrapping nearly 30,000 flights in November
Although Thanksgiving is typically one of the busiest travel days of the year, American Airlines announced on Aug. 30 plans to cancel a significant number of flights this fall: nearly 16% of the airline’s total flights.
Many of the cuts are coming out of hubs such as Chicago and Dallas, reducing the frequency of flights between these airports and connecting cities. Other, less popular routes are being cut entirely. These cuts are an attempt to reduce delayed and canceled flights throughout the busy season, as fewer flights total means fewer opportunities for cascading scheduling problems.
Frontier drops 43 routes from winter schedule
Frontier cut a big chunk of routes and took things a step further by also announcing these flights will be permanently removed. The 43 flights in question comprise 32 domestic and 11 international routes. Eighty-four percent of those domestic flights originated or ended in Florida, which is a particularly sought-after destination in the winter.
All 11 of the cut international flights involved Cancún. While the pandemic saw an influx of travelers to both Florida and Cancún, demand may be subsiding now as more countries open for international travelers again.
Delta cutting more than 4,000 November flights
Delta is cutting a significant number of fall flights for staffing reasons. The airline cited an unexpected number of employees calling in sick as the reason for its reduced service. Some of those unexpected illnesses may be due to the ongoing pandemic, as another wave of COVID-19 cases has been confirmed in the United States in the last month. Delta’s recent cancellations are an attempt to anticipate and forestall some of those last-minute resource shortages.
JetBlue removes 37 routes from schedule
JetBlue removed several flights from its schedule, some of which are permanent cuts to suspended routes and some of which are new. Cities like Newark and San Francisco have seen fewer originating and departing flights.
But another city is bearing the brunt of these cuts. Fort Lauderdale was one of JetBlue’s most important airports during the pandemic, proving relatively resistant to the drop in demand that colored much of the pandemic. But now demand for travel to Florida has dropped and JetBlue’s new travel cuts may partially be in response to this demand shift.
Dropped flights hit regional airports the hardest
Regional airports are enduring much of the impact of all the flight cuts and cancellations across the United States. Pilot shortages pose a serious problem for regional airports. Many airlines offered pilots early buyouts during the pandemic and consequently have had trouble hiring them back as travel rebounded due in part to the long training time needed to train new pilots. Some smaller cities have now been left without any airline service at all. Cities like Dubuque, Iowa, are operating with no air carrier.

Twitter has begun adding gray “official” labels to some high-profile accounts to indicate that they are authentic, the latest twist in new owner Elon Musk’s chaotic overhaul of the platform’s verification system.
Media sites like The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal received an official designation Wednesday, as did companies like Nike, Apple and Coca-Cola.
The site’s current system of using what are known as “blue checks” confirming an account’s authenticity will soon go away for those who don’t pay a monthly fee. The checkmarks will be available at a yet-to-be-announced date for anyone willing to pay a $7.99-a-month subscription, which will also include some bonus features, such as fewer ads and the ability to have tweets given greater visibility than those coming from non-subscribers.
The platform’s current verification system has been in place since 2009 and was created to ensure high-profile and public-facing accounts are who they say they are.
Experts have expressed concern that making the checkmark available to anyone for a fee could lead to impersonations and the spreading of misinformation and scams. The gray label — a color that tends to blend into the background whether you use light or dark mode to scroll Twitter — is an apparent compromise. But it might lead to more confusion, as Twitter users accustomed to the blue check as a mark of authenticity will now have to look for the less obvious “official” designation.
Esther Crawford, a Twitter employee who has been working on the verification overhaul, said Tuesday on Twitter that the “official” label will be added to “select accounts” when the new system launches.
“Not all previously verified accounts will get the ‘Official’ label and the label is not available for purchase,” said Crawford, who recently was the subject of a viral photo showing her sleeping on the floor of a Twitter office while working to meet Musk’s deadlines.
Crawford said those receiving the label include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures.
There are about 423,000 verified accounts under the outgoing system. Many of those belong to celebrities, businesses and politicians, as well as media outlets.
But a large chunk of verified accounts belong to individual journalists, some with tiny followings at local newspapers and news sites around the world. The idea was to verify reporters so their identities couldn’t be used to push false information on Twitter.
Musk had previously floated designating official accounts in a way other than the blue check. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/twitter-adds-gray-official-mark-to-some-major-verified-accounts/ | 2022-11-09 17:23:38 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/twitter-adds-gray-official-mark-to-some-major-verified-accounts/ |

According to a statement released by the regents, this affirmation serves as “the UT System’s formal commitment to free speech and expression,” and the Chicago Statement “has become a gold standard for institutions that wish to show their commitment to free speech and expression in higher education.”
The protection of free speech is certainly a noble endeavor, and doing so on college campuses is crucial. You’ll have a tough time finding any serious person arguing to have their voice stifled. It's worth noting, however, the statement qualifies that “it is not the proper role of the UT System or the UT institutions to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”
OK, now we’re getting somewhere subjective. You say right, I say wrong. You say something is problematic, someone else says it’s provocative.
So what does the Chicago Statement really mean for the various UT campuses around the state, and how vital is it for a university to make a public display of adopting it?
For the University of Texas at Dallas, the adoption of the Chicago Statement isn’t likely to change much in terms of life on campus. In fact, it could be argued that the action wasn't necessary at all.
The local UT system outpost has made a point to address the protection of free speech in recent years and has shown a willingness among its student body to engage in the sort of discourse the Chicago Statement encourages. According to Ravi Prakash, the speaker of the Academic Senate at UTD and a professor of computer science, the Chicago Statement does not affect the school very much.
He says he learned of the UT system’s adoption of the Chicago Statement through the news, just like everyone else. He also noted that in 2018 the UT system’s Faculty Advisory Council drafted its own free speech guidelines by defining “Discovery,” “Dissent,” and “Debate” following the UT System regents’ earlier rule regarding speech and assembly.
Prakash says the UT Faculty Advisory Council believes that “the UT System, with its size and reach, is one of the leading public university systems in the country, and the UT System Regents' Rule 40501 already spoke clearly about freedom of speech and the need to regulate it under certain situations. So, a UT system-specific statement would be better suited for our campuses than simply adopting the Chicago Statement.”
Better yet, Katie Silverman and Natasha Kokkodil, co-presidents of UTD’s chapter of Texas Rising, think the campus population has already created a safe environment for freedom of speech. Texas Rising is a statewide progressive student group that looks to drive voter registration as well as engage with campuses on reproductive rights, women’s rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights and immigration issues.
To be certain, the group is on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum from UTD’s conservative-leaning Turning Point USA chapter or Comets for the Preborn, an anti-abortion group on campus.
Kokkodil thinks the adoption of the Chicago Statement is little more than an attempt by a public university system to appease alumni and possible donors. But there have been times when campus events have ignited controversy and devolved into what some label as possible hate speech territory.
“I do believe free speech is important,” Silverman says. “But I do believe free speech can be pushed to the limit in a dangerous way. Free speech should be protected, but not hate speech. We do engage in conversations outside of our own ideological scope, so we’re not rigid in that way. We just want to make sure the student body has a healthy way to expose themselves to information.”
Not necessarily everyone has always believed that free speech was being protected by UT Dallas. In 2017 popular conservative YouTube personality Steven Crowder was made to leave campus while filming interviews about the Second Amendment. At the time, the university explained that Crowder had failed to obtain proper permission to film on campus in advance, while some students thought it was the YouTuber’s political views that spurred campus security into action.
Crowder appeared on campus again in 2019, this time at the invitation of the College Republicans of UTD, to film interviews about the building of a wall along the U.S./Mexico border. Silverman says that visit “did not go over well” with a large part of the student body, which she says “has a huge population of international students.”
Silverman also notes that when a controversial speaker is hosted on campus, no one should be surprised that free speech goes both ways. “Controversial speakers like Crowder can disrupt the peace on campus, and sometimes their intention is to disrupt.”"I do believe free speech is important. But I do believe free speech can be pushed to the limit in a dangerous way." – Katie Silverman, Texas Rising
tweet this
Perhaps it’s both fitting and telling that a compelling exchange of ideas followed Crowder’s January 2019 appearance. A letter to the editor of The Mercury, the university’s student-run newspaper, takes aim at a previous article by a reporter who opposed Crowder’s views and the way he expressed them.
Submitted by a student named Alexander Christie, who says he organized the College Republicans event with Crowder, the letter says that Crowder’s approach and stances didn't disrupt or endanger any students, although there were protesters. He suggested the event provided a point of engaging conversation for those who might sit on opposing sides of political debate. He closed his letter by inviting anyone who might disagree with him to attend a club meeting for further discussion.
Conducting counterprotests is also a way for a dissenting voice to be heard and is protected as free speech on campus. That’s a vital reason Silverman thinks that for the most part, the campus is a secure place for groups with different views to express themselves.
A “healthy discourse” is important, she says, and if the student body is kept out of harm's way, then who needs a new official statement, especially if campus leaders have already addressed the issue?
“Personally, I don’t think my right to free speech has been infringed upon here,” she says. “If there’s an anti-abortion rally on campus, there is usually a swift counterprotest, which should be expected.” Kokkodil adds that “when a speaker is controversial and they know they are controversial, they should expect backlash. That’s free speech.” | https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/ut-system-adopts-free-speech-policy-but-students-at-ut-dallas-are-already-speaking-freely-15400015 | 2022-12-05 16:20:42 | 0 | https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/ut-system-adopts-free-speech-policy-but-students-at-ut-dallas-are-already-speaking-freely-15400015 |
Rain is a welcomed sight across the Sunflower State this evening. Coverage has become a little more widespread over the last few hours, with rain stretching from Nebraska to Oklahoma.
Showers will linger into the later half of the evening as we see moisture track east across the state. Western Kansas will not see much more rainfall this evening, but a few showers are possible far to the southwest tonight.
Temperatures will range from the mid-40s to the low 30s. Chilly conditions can be expected off to the northwest, where northerly winds have been moving cold air behind the passing boundary.
Showers are possible early tomorrow morning along the Oklahoma/Kansas state line. Cloud cover starts the day, but drier air will filter in throughout the day, leading to sunnier skies by the afternoon.
Highs tomorrow will be back in the 60s for most. Those along the Colorado/Kansas state line will see temperatures teeter toward the upper 50s. It will be a very fall-like day across the state.
Despite the rainfall we have seen today, the drought has worsened across southern Kansas. Most of south Kansas is now in an exceptional drought level.
Temperatures this weekend are looking picture-perfect. We will align with our seasonal average as highs sit in the mid-60s. A few spotty showers will be possible early Friday morning, but other than that, we are looking at a dry couple of days ahead of us.
Temperatures start on a warming trend for next week as highs jump back into the 70s for Halloween on Monday. We stay above average as we head into the middle of next week with mostly sunny skies.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Palau’s vice president and her eight-member delegation have been quarantined in Taiwan after two of them tested positive for the coronavirus.
Palau is one of the 14 countries still maintaining formal relations with Taiwan, which China claims as its own and has relentlessly sought to isolate internationally by depriving it of diplomatic partners.
Vice President J. Uduch Sengebau Senior arrived for an official five-day visit on Saturday and was due to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen.
The delegation from the Pacific nation had PCR tests on Sunday, with two of them positive for the virus that causes COVID-19.
The conditions of their quarantine remain unclear. Taiwan generally mandates several days of quarantine in a hotel or private home.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said their schedule has been suspended for the time being. In a statement, the ministry gave no details on who in the delegation had tested positive or how long they would remain in Taiwan, but said it would “continue to provide them with the proper care.”
Taiwan has gradually relaxed its COVID-19 restrictions, but testing and quarantine restrictions for foreign arrivals remain in place.
Upon her arrival, Senior, who is also her country’s justice minister, said she looked forward to “strengthening bilateral relations with the Taiwan government and the Ministry of Justice in Taiwan, in the areas of justice, maritime security and public safety.”
“The Republic of Palau and the Republic of Taiwan share similar beliefs in human rights, justice, the rule of law,” Senior said.
Taiwan this week is also hosting Foreign Minister Mario Bucaro of Guatemala, another of its dwindling number of diplomatic allies.
The visits come amid heightened tensions between Taiwan and China, following China’s threatening military exercises and missile launches staged in retaliation for a trip to the island earlier this month by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
With a population of just over 18,000, Palau has recorded 5,348 cases of COVID-19 and six deaths. Taiwan, with 23 million people, has reported more than 5 million cases and close to 10,000 deaths.
Quarantine rules remain flexible and reports say the government plans to further relax them beginning Thursday. | https://www.wdtn.com/news/u-s-world/ap-international/ap-palau-vp-delegation-quarantined-in-taiwan-after-2-get-virus/ | 2022-08-29 10:04:13 | 0 | https://www.wdtn.com/news/u-s-world/ap-international/ap-palau-vp-delegation-quarantined-in-taiwan-after-2-get-virus/ |
For nearly four decades, Jean-Luc Picard of “Star Trek” has largely been presented as genteel, erudite and — at times — quite buttoned up. Yes, he loses his temper. Yes, he was reckless as a callow cadet many years ago. Yes, he occasionally gets his hands dirty or falls apart.
But the Enterprise captain-turned-admiral stepped into a different place in last week’s episode of the streaming drama “Star Trek: Picard.” Now, he’s someone who — to the shock of some and the delight of others — has uttered a profanity that never would have come from his mouth in the 1990s: “Ten f—-ing grueling hours,” Patrick Stewart’s character says at one point during an intense conversation in which he expects everyone will die shortly.
The whole thing was in keeping with the more complex, nuanced aesthetic of this decade’s “Star Trek” installments. And the online conversation that ensued illustrates the journey undertaken when a fictional character voyages from the strictures of network and syndicated television to high-end streaming TV.
“’Star Trek’ was G-rated when it first came out. ‘The Next Generation’ was clean-cut and optimistic. What we’re seeing now with ‘Picard’ is a little bit more of the grit,” says Shilpa Davé, a media studies scholar at the University of Virginia and a longtime “Trek” fan.
Over the weekend, “Star Trek” Twitter reflected that tension.
“Totally out of character,” said one post, reflecting many others. Some complained that it cheapened the utopia that Gene Roddenberry envisioned, that humans wouldn’t be swearing like that four centuries from now, that someone as polished as Picard wouldn’t need such language.
“Part of Star Trek’s appeal is the articulate way characters speak. Resorting to gutter language feels like a step backward since Star Trek’s characters are meant to be better than this,” John Orquiola wrote for the website Screen Rant on Sunday.
The backlash to the backlash followed. Christopher Monfette, the Paramount+ show’s co-executive producer, wrote an extensive and persuasive thread about the moment and why he believed it worked.
“It’s easy to hear that elevated British tone escaping the mouth of a gentlemanly Shakespearean actor and assume some elevated intellectualism,” he said, while acknowledging: “Criticism of its use is fair even if it just strikes a personal nerve — or if you’ve equated ‘Trek’ with more broader, family-friendly storytelling. But regardless, cursing in the show is carefully debated & discussed in the room or on set. We don’t take it lightly.”
The showrunner for “ Star Trek: Picard ” this season, Terry Matalas, said the F-word from Picard wasn’t scripted but was a choice by Stewart in the moment. The result, Matalas said, was “so real.”
“Everything you do as artists, as writers and actors, even as editors, is authenticity. That’s the thing you want to feel,” he told Collider. “I was really torn because hearing that word come from your childhood hero, Captain Picard, it throws you. But wow, is it powerful.”
“Star Trek” has a long history of pushing boundaries, linguistic and otherwise.
“Let’s get the hell out of here,” Capt. James T. Kirk said on network TV in 1967, when that word was edgy. He’d just lost someone dear to him in the most trying of circumstances. Dr. McCoy, the ship’s irascible physician, would often say, “Dammit, Jim.” And in the larger realm, the original series delicately danced with NBC censors over everything from women’s costumes to racial, sexual and war references.
But the crossing of last week’s linguistic frontier is an interesting case. It highlights the turbulence generated when a beloved character born during the “family-friendly” TV era evolves against the streaming landscape, where constraints are fewer and opportunities for unflinching authenticity greater.
“This isn’t just a rethinking of a fictional world. This is the same actor and the same character in the same setting that we had before. And all these years, he has been speaking and behaving in a certain way,” says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
Sometimes this transition unfolds erratically. Velma, a member of the Gen-X-era Saturday morning cartoon “Scooby Doo,” recently appeared in a more multicultural cartoon reboot on HBO Max that featured a high-school shower scene and overt sexual references. It has been roundly panned. Several years ago, when “Riverdale” premiered, the attempts to push Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica from the sunny world of comics into the darker realm of teen drama produced uneven, sometimes jarring results.
“Star Trek” is in a whole different universe, so to speak.
Roddenberry famously framed it as a utopian future where the main characters generally avoided conflict with each other, their society wasn’t motivated by greed and humanity was seen as inexorably moving forward. Purists have criticized the recent years of what they call “new Trek” as a darker, more fragmented universe.
Nonsense, say many others: Both allegory and word usage evolve with the times. After all, it was only seven decades ago that Lucille Ball (and her character) was expecting a baby on “I Love Lucy” and the word “pregnant” couldn’t be uttered on national television — except, oddly, in French.
And for years before and after that, Hollywood’s production code prescribed the ways morality and amorality could be depicted in film, with strict regulation of everything from sexual innuendo to whether criminals were portrayed sympathetically to whether the good guys won. Hence the term “Hollywood ending,” which remains with us today in many parts of life.
All of which raises the question: Could it also be the boundaries themselves that help create memorable film and television, rather than merely the breaking of them?
“Star Trek had a certain kind of sincerity — almost like ‘the 23rd century will be a family-friendly kind of thing,’” Thompson says. “The question is, what happens when your characters outlive the media industry standards? How do you accommodate the fact that you’re no longer limited without completely betraying the world that you’ve created?”
In this case, Stewart has said he returned to the character because he was persuaded there were new stories to tell. Just as he had aged two decades since his last “Star Trek” appearance, so, too, had Picard — with all the evolution that went along with it.
The kind of evolution, perhaps, that might make a man facing his own end choose a word that still carries a lot of power — even in today’s swearing, streaming world. When Jean-Luc Picard says that word, you can be absolutely sure he means it.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has granted former President Donald Trump's request for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago last month, temporarily stopping federal prosecutors from using those documents in their investigation into obstruction and mishandling of government secrets.
The decision was expected. Last weekend, the judge said she was inclined to grant Trump's request, and a hearing on the matter took place last Thursday. At that hearing, the Justice Department laid out its argument against the special master and signaled it was likely to appeal such a ruling.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, cited in her order on Monday the need to ensure "the appearance of fairness and integrity under the extraordinary circumstances presented."
A special master is an independent third party, typically an attorney, appointed by the judge to review materials seized in a search for anything that may be protected from investigation by attorney-client privilege, or executive privilege as Trump is claiming.
The judge also ordered the government to cease any review or use of the materials for its criminal investigation until the special master review is completed, but Cannon said the intelligence community may continue its review to determine potential national security risks from the classified material being kept outside of a secure government facility.
Cannon set a deadline of Fri. Sept. 9 for the two parties to submit a joint filing with a list of proposed candidates to be named special master and a detailed proposal to establish the duties and limits of the special master, as well as a schedule for the review and compensation.
Legal experts have told NPR that requesting a special master is another attempt from Trump to undermine the work of the Justice Department and question their integrity. But others have argued that it will just be another procedural loophole the department has to go through during their investigation into the documents.
On Friday, Cannon unsealed a list of items the FBI seized from former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a court-authorized search last month.
Previous documents filed in court by the Department of Justice revealed that Trump was holding several classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and the DOJ has raised questions on whether Trump and his team attempted to obstruct justice by concealing or removing some of the documents authorities wanted.
Trump's attorneys have downplayed the Justice Department's concerns about the classified material found at Mar-a-Lago, saying in a filing Wednesday that there was no "cause for alarm."

House Republicans offered mixed reactions to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to a joint meeting of Congress, foreshadowing a bumpier road that his country will face in securing future U.S. aid once the GOP takes control of the House in a few weeks.
Republican supporters of aiding Ukraine’s efforts against Russia praised Zelensky’s speech. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) said that Zelensky had “overwhelming support” in the chamber and will “continue to have that.”
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who is set to chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee next year, expressed hope that the speech would help push a more aggressive focus from the U.S. on military assistance to Ukraine.
“Every time we get them what they need, they win. But this administration is so concerned about being provocative,” said McCaul. “We are not doing what we need to do to have them win this thing more quickly. The longer this thing drags out, the more difficult it’s going to be, and we’re not giving them what they need.”
But critics of Ukraine aid showed little openness to being open to changing their minds because of the speech.
Walking into the address, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said that he did not think Zelensky should be speaking from the House floor.
“We should be focused on trying to contain the war, not expand the war. And this kind of sends the message we’re kind of OK with expanding the war. And I think we should be sending a different message,” Davidson said.
He followed up with a quip about Zelensky’s more casual-looking olive green military garb: “He’s dressed more for the auditorium, so he should be talking to us down there.”
Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sat out most standing ovations during the speech (though Boebert stood while Zelensky entered the chamber). Boebert said in a video after the speech that she would not support any more money to Ukraine until there is a “full audit” of where already approved funds have gone.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who has said that House Republicans will not send a “blank check” to Ukraine in the next Congress, carefully navigated the optics of Zelensky’s visit. Many of the right-wing House GOP critics of aid to Ukraine are also withholding support for his Speakership.
McCarthy attended a meeting with Zelensky and other top congressional leaders — Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — ahead of the speech and was part of the Escort Committee bringing the president into the chamber. He joined in standing ovations. But he was not present for another media-centric moment with the other three congressional leaders walking into the Capitol rotunda.
Standing in front of some of his fiercest supporters as well as his admirers, Zelensky made a direct argument in favor of aid to his country.
“Your money is not charity. It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way,” Zelensky said.
But he likely had little chance of swaying the fiercest GOP opponents to aid.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) tweeted that he was not in Washington, D.C., and would not attend the speech of a “Ukrainian lobbyist.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who did not attend the address, tweeted earlier in the day that global foreign aid is like Americans being “raped everyday at the hands of their own elected leaders.”
According to the Hill pool, only 86 of 213 House Republicans attended the speech Wednesday evening. More than a third of House members had active letters to vote by proxy on Wednesday, with many worrying about weather disrupting travel just before Christmas.
GOP frustration about congressional negotiators rushing to pass an omnibus funding bill before a Friday government shutdown deadline also fueled sour reactions to Zelensky appearing before Congress. The package includes $45 billion in aid to Ukraine.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said Zelensky’s speech was “more of the theater that has been orchestrated by the current outgoing Democrat leadership of the current Senate leadership in order to try to prop up a belief that $47 billion — again, with no debate at all — is just going to be magically created out of thin air and sent over to Ukraine.”
Republican skepticism of and resistance to Ukraine funding is layered. Some members oppose aid altogether based on an “America First” or anti-war philosophy. Others support more military aid but less economic and humanitarian aid, and still others believe the U.S.-Mexico border should be prioritized more.
But the House GOP is largely in agreement on probing where existing funds have gone. When the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted on a resolution from Greene to audit Ukraine funding earlier this month, every Republican voting on the panel supported it — though unified Democrats blocked the measure from advancing.
“The majority in both parties in both House and Senate support this effort, but they’re not going to if we don’t have accountability [and] transparency,” McCaul said.
The outside group Heritage Action, the advocacy arm of the conservative think tank, was particularly influential in getting Republicans to vote against a $40 billion Ukraine aid package in May. It is also lobbying against the omnibus as well as the Ukraine measures outlined in it.
“While the situation in Ukraine is serious, the United States still lacks a coherent vision and strategy in the region. Spending an additional $47 billion in assistance – with only 62% of that assistance going to Ukraine military assistance – without adequate oversight and accountability for the aid is a misuse of taxpayer money,” Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action, said in a statement. “The next Congress must have an honest and transparent debate about the size and scope of U.S. assistance, and demand equal cooperation from all of Ukraine’s European neighbors.”
Supporters of Ukraine are confident that there will still be overwhelming support for aiding the country in the next Congress, despite the minority of vocal critics. But any future assistance packages could have to look different to get that support.
“I think the right path, moving forward, is to demand a hell of a lot more share of the humanitarian aid burden be burdened by European countries, while the United States continues to focus on the fight itself, the right rep weaponry, backfilling that weaponry,” said Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas).

AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine environmental groups want the state to follow California in phasing out the sale of gas-powered cars and trucks and shifting to zero-emission vehicles.
While Maine has joined other states in the past in adopting vehicle emissions standards that originated in California, Gov. Janet Mills said last year she was not in favor of “blindly” following California’s 2035 mandate. Environmentalists are now trying to force the state’s hand through a little-known rulemaking process, and some transportation groups are criticizing the proposals.
The National Resources Council of Maine collected the required 150 signatures from registered voters earlier this year to petition the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to adopt California’s zero- and low-emission vehicle regulations. Another California regulation proposed for Maine would aim to encourage the sale of more electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
The council and allies including the Sierra Club and Conservation Law Foundation submitted the proposals through a provision in state law that allows anyone to ask an agency to adopt or change a rule as long as 150 registered voters sign a petition.
The Board of Environmental Protection will hear the proposals at a Thursday meeting at the Augusta Civic Center. A public hearing will also occur Aug. 20 before the board is expected to make a decision later this year. Each member has been appointed or reappointed by Mills.
California adopted rules last year to prohibit the sale of gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035, with targets of having 35 percent of zero-emission vehicle sales by 2026, 68 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2035.
The Maine petitions do not have a 2035 requirement. Instead, they look to incentivize manufacturers to increase electric vehicle sales while requiring Maine by 2028 to review progress in order to determine if the board should adopt the California mandate.
The proposals here would require light-duty, zero-emission vehicles to make up 43 percent of sales for model year 2027 and make up 82 percent of sales in model year 2032.
“By not adopting this rule in 2022, we already missed the requirement for the 2026 model year, so the most important thing is we get started,” said Jack Shapiro, who leads the council’s climate and clean energy work. “Otherwise, we’re going to fall behind.”
Exempt from the proposed rules are emergency, off-road, rural postal carrier and military vehicles, along with rental vehicles that have a final destination outside Maine.
Mills, a Democrat, said last August she favors electric vehicle incentives but “would not be inclined to adopt any mandate along those lines.” Ben Goodman, her spokesperson, said Tuesday the governor continues to believe Maine should not let “decisions by any other state determine Maine’s course of action.”
“Instead, we should commit to a responsible, thoughtful approach to electric vehicles that will help Maine consumers and businesses save money, while reducing carbon emissions and protecting our economy and environment from the climate crisis,” he said.
Other groups opposed to the proposed rules include the Maine Better Transportation Association and Associated General Contractors of Maine.
“We support a voluntary adoption, but we just think that we’re not ready to try to force fleets or manufacturers to move forward at this point,” Maria Fuentes, the executive director of the Maine Better Transportation Association, said. “There’s just too many hurdles right now that really make it not feasible.”
Matt Marks, who lobbies for the construction group, said while the industry is not against electric vehicles, it has particular concerns about rural areas meeting the requirements.
“We don’t know if the conditions are there yet for us to be able to do this,” he said.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine said despite the state’s statutory goal of reducing emissions 45 percent below 1990 levels within the next decade and 80 percent in 2050, the state missed a 2021 rulemaking deadline and has failed to adopt policies on the largest contributor: transportation.
About half of Maine’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the transportation sector, a share that has historically been far higher than the national average in part due to long commutes.
The Mills administration has set an ambitious goal of having 219,000 electric vehicles registered in the state by 2030. But as the Bangor Daily News reported in May, the state had so far reached only about 4 percent of its goal, with roughly 9,500 electric vehicles.
As the state’s air, land and water face continued challenges amid a rise in severe storms, flooding and Canadian wildfires, the Maine Climate Council will meet later this year to start updating the four-year plan that was adopted in 2020.
Shapiro said his group surveyed electric vehicle owners in Maine last year and found “99 percent of them” are satisfied with their quality and reliability.
“People will still be able to buy used vehicles or drive the vehicles they already have,” Shapiro said. “But we have to reduce emissions, and we have to do it quickly.” | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/19/politics/environmentalists-push-maine-to-follow-california-in-phasing-out-gas-vehicles/ | 2023-07-19 11:54:31 | 1 | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/19/politics/environmentalists-push-maine-to-follow-california-in-phasing-out-gas-vehicles/ |

BANGKOK (AP) — As the United States marks only the second federally recognized Juneteenth, Black Americans living overseas have embraced the holiday as a day of reflection and an opportunity to educate people in their host countries on Black history.
President Joe Biden moved quickly last year to federally recognize the day Black Americans have been celebrating since the last enslaved people were told they were free in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.
In Liberia, Saqar Ahhah Ahershu, 45, from Jersey City, N.J., is organizing the country’s first “Journey Home Festival.”
“Because this is part of that hidden African American history that still hasn’t been completely unpacked,” he said in Monrovia.
Liberia, Africa’s oldest independent republic, was founded by freed slaves repatriated to West Africa from the United States in 1822, exactly 200 years ago this year. This weekend’s event will include a trip to Providence Island, where former slaves settled before moving into what is now mainland Monrovia.
While there are no official statistics tracking Black Americans moving abroad, many are discussing it more openly after the police killing of George Floyd. In the aftermath, many African Americans saw the U.S. “from the outside in” and made up their minds not to return.
Tashina Ferguson, a 26-year-old debate coach, was living in New York at the time of Eric Garner’s death.
She moved to South Korea in 2019 and will celebrate Juneteenth on Sunday with a group of drag performers at a fundraising brunch for the Marsha P. Johnson Institute.
She has mixed feeling about the newest federal holiday.
“The commerciality of Juneteenth has become this like whole, ‘Put it on a T-shirt, put it on ice cream tubs’ type of thing,” she said. “But as a Black person within the Black community I’m like, ‘Yeah, let’s celebrate us.’”
She said that only a powerful change would make her consider returning to the U.S.
Chrishan Wright in New Jersey regularly speaks with Black Americans who plan to or already have made the move abroad.
Wright, 47, hosts a podcast “Blaxit Global” and said many of her guests are tired of the U.S.
“They’ve done all the things to achieve what is supposed to be the American dream, and that yardstick keeps moving. They don’t feel like they’re on solid ground in terms of being able to retire comfortably or pay off student debt or just cover their bills.”
Wright plans to move in 2023 to Portugal. Through her podcast, she already knows of Juneteenth celebrations this weekend in Lisbon, the capital.
In some places with larger populations of Black Americans, Juneteenth is already part of the program.
LaTonya Whitaker, from Mississippi, has lived in Japan for 17 years. She is executive director of Legacy Foundation Japan, which hosted a Juneteenth gathering of about 300 people at the ritzy Tokyo American Club on Saturday.
She and her husband David didn’t plan to live in Japan.
Like Whitaker, many Black Americans at the Juneteenth event came to Japan almost by coincidence, as Christian missionaries or Peace Corps volunteers. But they made Japan their home.
She now wants to raise their son there because she worries about gun violence in the U.S.
“I realized we really need a community,” said Whitaker.
Michael Williams teaches African American history at Temple University in Tokyo and left the U.S. when he was 22. He’s now 66 and had lived abroad for much of his adult life, but returned to the U.S. for graduate school in Boston and Baltimore.
America has changed so much, he feels like a tourist when he visits, he laughed.
Williams said he knows about Juneteenth from teaching history.
“I would always end my presentations that hopefully, someday, this would be a national holiday. And so now it is, and it feels great,” he said.
In Taipei, Toi Windham and Casey Abbott Payne are holding multiple events to celebrate Juneteenth. The two, part of Black Lives Matter Taiwan, are hosting performances by Black artists and musicians.
Both have celebrated with their families long before it was a federal holiday.
Windham has lived in Taiwan for five years, and had always celebrated Juneteenth growing up in Texas. For her, it’s an opportunity to educate people about a different part of American culture, even the darker parts.
“A lot of people tend to enjoy hip-hop culture and the attire and certain parts of our culture, but I feel like it’s important to acknowledge all parts of Black culture,” she said.
Payne, an organizer, has lived in Taiwan for 11 years and said he also celebrated Juneteenth growing up in Milwaukee, which has one of the oldest celebrations nationwide.
“As a kid, I remember the street being lined with street vendors, and there’s music going on and there’d be the Juneteenth parade rolling through,” he said.
Still for others, the day is a chance to joyfully kick back and rest.
In Bangkok, a group called Ebony Expats organized a silent movie screening, a bike ride in a nature reserve and a dinner for at a Jamaican restaurant serving jerk chicken and pumpkin soup.
Restaurant owner Collin Clifford McKoy served 20 years in the U.S. Army before eventually opening his restaurant during the pandemic in Thailand. He said the Juneteenth holiday is a chance for Black people to share their culture while being so far from home, American or not.
“Overall, it’s about coming together regardless of where we are, and it tells how much blood runs deep as a community to come together and enjoy ourselves,” he said.

The first trade was executed on Aurora, and centrally cleared and settled via the SFT Clearing Service on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at 2.26 pm ET
NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Provable Markets is proud to announce that the Firm's SEC registered Alternative Trading System ("ATS"), Aurora, has successfully matched and processed the first ever securities lending transaction cleared through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation's ("DTCC") Securities Finance Transaction ("SFT") Clearing Service which was approved for operation earlier this year by the SEC.
The first trade was executed on Aurora, and centrally cleared and settled via the SFT Clearing Service on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at 2.26 pm ET. Provable Markets leveraged its integration with Fidelity Information Services (NYSE: FIS) to ensure that the positions were accurately reflected in Loanet Books & Records systems for both lender and borrower, in near-real time.
Matthew Cohen, CEO of Provable Markets, said: "We are beyond ecstatic to have facilitated the first ever transaction cleared through the DTCC's SFT Clearing Service. This was only made possible through tremendous work by the entire Provable team, along with, what we hope is the establishment of a new standard of cooperation, coordination, and teamwork among market infrastructure players to leverage relative strengths for the ultimate benefit of our shared customers. We remain hyper focused elevating securities finance market structure working in concert with our respective peers in all facets. The speed to market for this product is a testament to just that, and we are excited to continue to expand and grow this offering by furthering our commitment to being an open, independent, and client driven part of the broader ecosystem."
As the first new ATS for securities finance in over a decade, cloud-native Aurora is one of two Approved SFT Submitters for the DTCC's new Service, and the only regulated access point. Aurora provides a full suite of functionality for users, from traditional workflows, towards order book style functionality, leveraging many of the structural nuances the SFT Clearing Service provides the market. In particular, Aurora will seek to finally bring central order book style trading to the securities lending market given the reduced operational and risk management burdens that the Approved Submitter and DTCC can offer participants in coordination with the Service.
"We are excited about the growing enthusiasm among market participants around Provable Markets, and our existing and future plans to help maximize the benefits of the SFT Clearing Service and more within the securities finance market. We look forward to a busy end to the year, and early 2023 as we integrate, automate, and expand the platform."
Cohen added in closing, "Above all, we thank our partners, customers, and all those who contributed to this milestone by putting their trust and faith in our incredible and fast growing team."
Provable Markets LLC is a New York based broker-dealer member of FINRA and SIPC, and operator of cloud-native trading platform Aurora, which is Registered as an Alternative Trading System ("ATS") with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Odessa, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) -“We know life is crazy for some folks. There’s some single parents out there that may want to be in the healthcare field but they can’t find a financial way to do that. And today we’re partnered up with Odessa College to take that barrier out of the way,” said Medical Center Health System CEO Russell Tippin.
That partnership has resulted in a new scholarship program that will help cover the cost of nursing school tuition at Odessa College while guaranteeing at least two years of employment at Medical Center Hospital following graduation.
“We need all the nurses and providers we can get, so our goal is to fill that plus more,” said Tippin.
Tyler Lowrey is training to be a registered nurse and has already applied for the new scholarship.
“Nursing school is very hard and very stressful. So I do believe (this scholarship) will help a lot of people take that financial stress off of them while they have everything else to stress about,” said Lowrey.
Nursing shortages aren’t unique to West Texas but that’s not stopping Medical Center Health System and Odessa College from leading the way when it comes to shortage solutions, and for good reason.
“Nationwide, we have a shortage of nurses. Every organization deals with it. Every community deals with it, so we’re not unique to that issue. But you see that nursing is the heart of healthcare,” said Medical Center Health System Chief Nursing Officer Christin Timmons. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/financial-aid-for-odessa-nursing-students/ | 2022-07-14 02:22:55 | 1 | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/financial-aid-for-odessa-nursing-students/ |
Boston urged people to start wearing masks Thursday and the Biden administration weighed its next legal step in what is shaping up to be a high-stakes court fight over the abrupt end of the national mask mandate on airplanes and mass transit.
The Boston Public Health Commission noted a rise in hospitalizations, as well as a 65% increase in cases and an even larger spike in COVID-19 levels in local wastewater samples. It also stressed that the guidance was merely a recommendation, not an order.
The country is wrestling with how to deal with the next phase of the pandemic and find the right balance in enacting health measures at a time when many Americans are ready to move on after two exhausting years.
A federal judge in Florida this week threw out a national mask mandate on mass transportation, and airlines and airports responded swiftly Monday by repealing their requirements that passengers wear face coverings. That put the Biden administration in the position of trying to navigate an appeal that could have sweeping ramifications over the power that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has in regulating future health emergencies.
Los Angeles County bucked national trends and said Thursday it will still require masks on public transit including trains, subways, buses, taxis and rideshares. Cases have risen in the past week and hospitalizations have plateaued after falling the previous two months.
Philadelphia last week became the first big city to bring back a mask mandate, responding to a rise and infections and hospitalizations there, but the city abruptly reversed course Thursday night and ended the mandate.Other cities in the Northeast have been closely watching the trend lines and a new color-coded map from the CDC to decide next steps.
The map that the CDC switched to in late Februaryis less focused on positive test results and more on what’s happening at hospitals to give community leaders clearer guidelines on when to urge masking. Nearly 95% of U.S. counties still have low transmission based on the map, but more places have shifted to medium and high transmission in recent weeks, including many places in upstate New York.
Hospitalizations nationally have ticked up in recent weeks but are nowhere near the peak reached at the height of the omicron surge.
“COVID-19 cases have increased rapidly citywide, so we need people to be vigilant and take precautions that can help us avoid another potential surge,” said Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, the Boston commission’s executive director. “Living with COVID-19 is about collective responsibility and working together.”
She said people in Boston should mask indoors, stay up to date with their vaccinations and test for suspected infections.
The Boston recommendation came two days after the city’s transit system lifted mask requirements in response to the national transportation ruling, reflecting the mishmash of reactions following the court decision by an appointee of former President Donald Trump.
As the Biden administration figures out an appeal, Lawrence Gostin, a public health law expert at Georgetown University, said a “monumental battle” was shaping up, with the future of the CDC at stake. The agency continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings.
“The question the courts are going to have to decide, and the public will have to decide, is when the next health crisis hits — and it will — will we have a strong public health agency to protect the population?” he said. “Or will the CDC simply have its hands tied behind its back? I think it’s a very really possibility we’re going to see the CDC handcuffed.”
While the Supreme Court did strike down the agency’s eviction moratorium for housing, that was more at the edge of the agency’s authority. Setting rules for mask wearing on public transit is a basic, core tenant of the CDC’s power, Gostin said.
“If someone gets on a flight from New York to LA, there’s no state stopping them. The only thing preventing that transmission is the CDC,” Gostin said.
Temple University Law Professor Scott Burris echoed that sentiment, saying that the U.S. government’s legal authority to respond sensibly to epidemics and other kinds of emergencies is at stake in the case.
Burris said the ability to manage future health emergencies “must have weighed heavily” in the reasoning of the Justice Department to appeal the ruling, “but let’s not forget we’re going into another surge” and there is the potential for new variants.
An appeal would go to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is considered a right-leaning court, and conservative justices have a majority on the U.S. Supreme Court. A ruling could take away the CDC’s power to issue mask orders and cast any future orders under a “legal cloud,” he said.
Temple Law’s Craig Green said the federal government’s strategy is “really almost brilliant” because it could win in two ways with its appeal. If COVID-19 cases numbers continue to fall, Justice Department attorneys could argue that the issue is moot and ask to have the case thrown out.
“No one will have reason to cite it ever in the future as a precedent,” he said.
But he said that if cases rise, the federal government would be better positioned to reimpose a mask mandate.
“I think the arguments about what a government can do, what the federal level can do under conditions of emergency were very difficult and problematic,” he said. “I can understand why the Department of Justice and the United States government really did not want to see that kind of limit on their authority in the future, even if COVID ends up being more controlled in the future.
Amid the court battle, American, United and Delta have all indicated that they will lift the bans they imposed on passengers who refused to wear masks now that masks are optional on flights.
“We have talked to them individually,” United CEO Scott Kirby told NBC on Thursday. “Many of them assure us that now that the mask mandate is off, everything is going to be fine, and I trust that the vast majority of them will.”
Many passengers were shrugging off the changes. When Jon Schaudies flies from Chicago to San Antonio next week, he’ll wear a mask, but won’t worry if the passenger next to him doesn’t do the same.
Schaudies, who travels frequently as vice president of a small manufacturing company, feels that he has enough protection from the COVID-19 vaccine and booster to avoid becoming seriously ill if he does contract it.
“I feel like people are at such extremes, but I’m sort of right down the middle,” said Schaudies, 51, who plans to get a second booster shot.
He understands the worries of parents traveling with children who are too young to be vaccinated, but says “they have decision to make” about whether to fly. “But for business travelers, we can’t stop.”
“The world has to go on at some point.”

Your forecast can be found below, but first we are looking at our Winter Weather Awareness Week, Day 3 information!
Winter Weather Awareness Week, Day 3:
Many components go into tracking winter weather. One of the first things to determine is the track of the storm. Determining if there is precipitation over the area and where it could be heaviest.
The next step is finding what the liquid equivalent precipitation will equal out to, to figure out possible totals and snow ratios. Then there is tracking what type of precip will fall, that being rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow pellets or large flakes. Temperatures can influence our snow ratios.
Beware of social media forecast and pay attention to times and dates on snow forecasts to have the most accurate information. Local NWS offices and TV Meteorologists are good sources. The Stormtracker 19 weather app is another good source.
Forecast:
You've guessed it! Your Wednesday forecast calls for more snow.
Though we will be seeing a few scattered snow showers on Wednesday morning, drier air lies in Northern Wisconsin where we will have more breaks in light snow and flurries.
Be sure you are taking your time when heading out on Wednesday and plan accordingly as snow has begun accumulating on cars, bridges, grassy spots and roads. Once temps get going toward the mid 30s some of that snow will begin melting, just like we saw on Tuesday.
The rest of Wednesday will bring us slight chances of light snow showers throughout the day with our highest chances returning around supper time. Totals on Wednesday shouldn't exceed 1". Most totals will range trace ~ 1".
Wednesday night is trending drier! Expect a few snow showers early and even returning by the time we wake up on Thursday. Lows will reach the low 20s.
Thursday brings us more slight chances of flurries. We're not expecting much snow to add up since it will be light, but temps will be a bit cooler that could help snow stick to grassier areas for minor accumulations. Highs will be in the upper 20s.
Friday is trending drier and cooler with highs in the low 20s under a mostly cloudy sky.
Another snow system pushes across Wisconsin on Friday night. Most looks to miss the Coulee Region to the north, but recent trends are showing we could see some more snowfall into Saturday. For now, those chances are minimal, but changes are definitely possible as we've seen.
The early portions of next week trend drier and 'warmer.' | https://www.wxow.com/weather/snow-chances-and-temps-decrease-for-day-3-of-winter-weather-awareness-week/article_27f0107a-659f-11ed-8830-1786914d4e72.html | 2022-11-16 14:36:02 | 0 | https://www.wxow.com/weather/snow-chances-and-temps-decrease-for-day-3-of-winter-weather-awareness-week/article_27f0107a-659f-11ed-8830-1786914d4e72.html |

$27 billion class-action lawsuit in works for Uvalde mass shooting
UVALDE, Texas (KSAT) - A massive lawsuit was announced on behalf of those affected by the Robb Elementary School shooting.
The class-action suit is going after several law enforcement agencies as well as a gun manufacturer.
The lead attorney filing the suit, Charles Bonner, said they are fighting for justice and accountability.
“What we intend to do to help serve this community and that is to file a $27 billion civil rights lawsuit under our United States Constitution, one-of-a-kind in the whole world,” he said.
Bonner, a civil rights attorney, said he intends to file a class action lawsuit against anyone who can be held responsible for what happened inside of Robb Elementary on May 24.
“We have the school police, OK, out of Redondo. We have the city police, and we have the sheriff and we have the Texas Rangers, the DPS, and we have the Border Patrol,” he said, as well as gun manufacturer Daniel Defense and Oasis Outback, where the gunman bought the weapon used.
“There will be some institutional defendants, including the school board or the city council,” Bonner said.
He and his associate have been traveling to Uvalde from their California office for weeks - meeting with families at Pastor Daniel Myers’ church, Tabernacle of Worship.
“Up to right now, there’s been no accountability, there’s no justice for those 19 children and the two teachers,” Myers said.
The suit is being filed on constitutionality. Bonner said the victims, survivors and their families had their 14th Amendment rights violated.
“And what we’ve seen here is that the law enforcement agencies have shown a deliberate, conscious disregards of those lives,” he said.
Bonner’s law firm is taking on this class-action suit with a team of other firms, including a local Uvalde law office. It’s a big undertaking, one he said he believes is necessary to save lives.
“Everyone in this world (is) hurting and bleeding about what is happening here in Uvalde. And it’s up to us to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Bonner said.
The lawsuit is still being drafted. Bonner said it’ll be filed in September when the investigation into the shooting is done.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday hailed a recent decision by OPEC, Russia and other oil producing nations to limit production as key to stabilizing the global energy market, as he met the leader of the United Arab Emirates for talks on fostering economic ties.
Speaking at the start of his talks in St. Petersburg with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi and the president of the United Arab Emirates, Putin hailed the ties between the two countries as important for regional and global stability.
“Despite all the difficulties that exist in the international relations today, ties between Russia and the United Arab Emirates are an important factor of stability in the region and the entire world,” Putin said at the start of his talks with Al Nahyan.
The Russian leader noted Al Nahyan’s support for the decision of the OPEC+ group that includes Russia to limit oil production to shore up oil prices, saying that “our decisions, our action, aren’t directed against anyone.”
Putin said: “Our actions are aimed at ensuring stability in global energy markets to make both comsumers of energy resources and those who deal with production and supplies feel calm, stability and confidence, to help balance supply and demand.”
The decision by OPEC+ to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day has outraged the West, where many saw it as a move that would help Putin finance Russia’s action in Ukraine. The production cut also risked saddling President Joe Biden and Democrats with rising gasoline prices just ahead of U.S. midterms.
The United Arab Emirates has maintained close business ties with Russia and sought to refrain from joining the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other Western allies over Moscow’s action in Ukraine.
Putin hailed Al Nahyan for mediation efforts that helped solve some “really sensitive humanitarian issues” in Ukraine. “I’m aware of your concern about the development of the situation and your desire to contribute to the settlement of all disputed issues, including today’s crisis in Ukraine,” Putin said. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-putin-hosts-united-arab-emirates-leader-for-economic-talks/ | 2022-10-12 10:09:40 | 0 | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-putin-hosts-united-arab-emirates-leader-for-economic-talks/ |

NBA suspends Lakers’ Beverley 3 games for shoving Ayton
By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
The NBA gave Patrick Beverley a three-game suspension Thursday, two days after the Los Angeles Lakers guard was ejected for shoving Phoenix’s Deandre Ayton from behind.
The suspension will cost Beverley $268,966, or about 2.1% of his $13 million salary.
It’s the second time Beverley has been suspended for shoving someone from behind; the other came in the last game of the Los Angeles Clippers’ 2021 playoff run, when he struck Suns guard Chris Paul from the back and had to sit out the first game of the 2021-22 season.
“The suspension was based in part on Beverley’s history of unsportsmanlike acts,” the NBA said in announcing the sanction.
Beverley was ejected with 3:55 left in the Lakers’ loss at Phoenix on Tuesday. Phoenix’s Devin Booker committed a flagrant foul against the Lakers’ Austin Reaves, who remained down on the floor briefly after the hit. Ayton stepped toward Reaves when he was still down, and Beverley charged in to give Ayton a shove. Ayton and Beverley were both assessed technical fouls, and Beverley was ejected.
“Tough foul, hard foul, Austin gets knocked down, there’s a little bit of chirping going on with Book and Ayton and some of our guys, and then from what I saw Ayton was just standing there about to walk over him,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said Tuesday. “And then Pat Bev … you don’t want this to be a tough-man competition. You actually want to play tough basketball. But at the end of the day, I’m not mad at him. He’s there protecting his teammate.”
The Lakers, who are off to a 5-11 start, will be without Beverley for games at San Antonio on Friday and Saturday, as well as a home game against Indiana on Monday.
Beverley will be eligible to return Wednesday against Portland. He is averaging a career-low 4.1 points this season on just 27% shooting.

EARLE, Ark. (AP) — An 18-year-old college student has been elected to serve as mayor of a small east Arkansas city, becoming one of the youngest people to serve as a city's top leader in the U.S.
Jaylen Smith, who is Black, was elected mayor of Earle in Tuesday's runoff election, winning 235 votes to Nemi Matthews' 183, according to complete but unofficial results.
He's among the youngest mayors elected in the United States and would be the youngest member of the African American Mayors Association. Phyllis Dickerson, chief executive officer of the association, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the association's current youngest member is Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, who is 35.
Smith is among a handful of people elected mayor before turning 20, including Michael Sessions, who was elected mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, in 2005 when he was 18; and John Tyler Hammons, who was elected mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 2008 when he was 19.
Smith, who graduated from Earle High School in May, campaigned on improving public safety and bringing new businesses, including a grocery store, to the city of about 1,800 people 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Memphis, Tennessee. He is a student at Arkansas State University Mid-South in West Memphis, Arkansas.
“People looking at me, well I’m too young, he has no experience, he’s fresh out of high school." Smith told Little Rock TV station KATV. “But I used to always tell people you have to start somewhere in life.” | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/18-year-old-college-student-elected-mayor-of-17640012.php | 2022-12-08 16:10:08 | 1 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/18-year-old-college-student-elected-mayor-of-17640012.php |
A gunman shot and killed two people at a construction site in Auckland, New Zealand, on Thursday.
Authorities said there were additional injuries during the incident, but it was not immediately clear how they were caused.
Authorities said the gunman began shooting early on Thursday morning, moving through a building and firing at people as he went. Police sealed off the area and engaged the gunman, who later died. It was not clear if police killed the gunman, or if the gunman killed himself.
"Upon reaching the upper levels of the building, the male has contained himself within the elevator shaft and our staff have attempted to engage with him," acting Police Superintendent Sunny Patel said in a statement. "Further shots were fired from the male and he was located deceased a short time later."

The shooting took place as soccer teams gather for the FIFA Women's World Cup in New Zealand.
New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said in a statement that the shooting appears to be an isolated incident. He reiterated that there was no apparent security threat, and said that the government had spoken with FIFA officials and agreed to continue play as planned.
Team Norway captain Maren Mjelde said the shooting happened near the hotel her team was staying at. She said the team was not concerned for its safety.
"FIFA has a good security system at the hotel, and we have our own security officer in the squad," she said in a statement. "Everyone seems calm and we are preparing as normal for the game tonight."
Officials said security at the soccer venue would be increased as the competition began. They encouraged ticketholders to arrive at the stadium early to account for possible delays.

SHENZHEN, China, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 28, an illustrious gathering unfolded in the Bao'an District of Shenzhen, marked by the convening of the 2023 Shenzhen-Zhongshan Joint Investment Promotion Conference. Beyond welcoming a prestigious cohort of 116 foreign-funded enterprises, including Siemens, Walmart, and Amazon, the event drew the participation of more than 20 distinguished foreign entrepreneurs and international dignitaries. Also, it served as a platform for the Bao'an Jiuwei International Headquarters Area (Jiuwei Area) to exhibit its unparalleled investment prospects to Fortune Global 500 companies and esteemed international organizations.
Nestled at the heart of the thriving Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Bao'an District showcases its prowess in technology-oriented manufacturers, intricate industrial and supply chains, and an unparalleled web of connectivity that seamlessly integrates the sea, land, and air transportation systems with high-speed rails, intercity trains, and metro lines. Sprawling across nine square kilometers, the vibrant Jiuwei Area lies just five kilometers away from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, while connecting to the arterial Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge and driving the well-known
Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone. Integral to Shenzhen's burgeoning airport economic zone, it is envisioned as a pivotal cluster of headquarters. Going ahead, the Jiuwei Area promises to develop into a "headquarters courtyard" that masterfully harmonizes the urban ethos with the natural realm. For instance, a mere five-minute stroll will lead one to idyllic gardens. Extend the leisurely journey to 10 minutes, and what unfolds will not just be an enchanting natural landscape, but an exquisite fusion of Eastern and Western influences, exemplified by traditional Hakka diaolou (or "fortified watchtowers") and Western-style churches. Venture further to the neighboring Fenghuang Mountain's peak, and a breathtaking panorama of the Pearl River Estuary will be a reward, according to the Publicity Department of Bao'an District.
"Shenzhen stands as an eminent contributor to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, while Bao'an emerges as a dynamic stronghold of advanced manufacturing. Within the district, a plethora of promising opportunities for future growth await. Having explored the Jiuwei Area, I must attest to its pristine surroundings and untapped potential," noted Klaus Zenkel, Vice President of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, who also attended the event.
World-renowned companies have been increasing their investments in Bao'an since May of this year. German aviation company Lilium plans to establish its Asia-Pacific regional headquarters in Bao'an, while Trumpf, an industrial machine manufacturer, and Valeo, an automotive supplier, are strategically expanding their presence in the district. At the core of the Jiuwei Area lies its pivotal role as a home to the Asia-Pacific operational headquarters and global R&D headquarters for companies in high technology and advanced manufacturing. The ambitious endeavor aims to foster a thriving ecosystem for multinational corporate headquarters and international organizations, a hub for international business events, and an international exemplar for living, working, and traveling. With open arms, Bao'an extends an earnest invitation to Fortune Global 500 companies and esteemed international organizations to establish their foothold in this thriving domain.

There is an epidemic of loneliness in the United States and lacking connection can increase the risk for premature death to levels comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a new advisory from the U.S. Surgeon General.
The report released on Tuesday, titled "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation," finds that even before the COVID-19 pandemic, about half of U.S. adults reported experiencing measurable levels of loneliness.
And it warns that the physical consequences of poor connection can be devastating, including a 29% increased risk of heart disease; a 32% increased risk of stroke; and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia for older adults.
"It's hard to put a price tag, if you will, on the amount of human suffering that people are experiencing right now," Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy told All Things Considered.
"In the last few decades, we've just lived through a dramatic pace of change. We move more, we change jobs more often, we are living with technology that has profoundly changed how we interact with each other and how we talk to each other."
"And you can feel lonely even if you have a lot of people around you, because loneliness is about the quality of your connections."
Across age groups, people are spending less time with each other in person than two decades ago. The advisory reported that this was most pronounced in young people aged 15-24 who had 70% less social interaction with their friends.
Murthy said that many young people now use social media as a replacement for in-person relationships, and this often meant lower-quality connections.
"We also know that for some kids, being online has been a way to find community at a time when many of them have not been able to," he said. "What we need to protect against, though, are the elements of technology, and social media in particular, that seek to maximize the amount of time that our children are spending online at the expense of their in-person interactions."
Advisories are reserved for issues deemed significant public health challenges that "need the American people's immediate attention," according to a statement from Murthy, who has spoken openly of his own experiences with loneliness in the past.
In response, the advisory outlines the framework for a new national strategy. It is based on six foundational pillars, which are:
Murthy said loneliness isn't a uniquely American problem, but instead a feature of modern life around the globe. Yet he noted that in the U.S. participation in community organizations — from faith groups to recreational leagues — has declined in recent decades.
"So we're seeing more forces that take us away from one another and fewer of the forces that used to bring us together," he said.
The advisory comes on the back of numerous studies in recent years that warn of the mental and physical dangers of loneliness.
A 2022 paper from Johns Hopkins University also found socially isolated older adults had a higher chance of developing dementia than their peers.
"Social connections matter for our cognitive health, and the risk of social isolation is potentially modifiable for older adults," Thomas Cudjoe, an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins and a senior author of the study, said in a statement.
Murthy said loneliness can impact people in a variety of ways, so understanding the signs is the first step to addressing it.
"Some people react to loneliness by withdrawing and getting quiet. Others react to loneliness by becoming irritable and angry, and they may lash out more," he said. "That's why sometimes it takes a little time to really reflect on what's happening in our life. And sometimes we need somebody else to tell us, 'Hey, you've been withdrawing more' to help us understand that we might actually be dealing with loneliness."

DES MOINES – Job Rides is a nonprofit that provides transportation to work sites for people in need. They are currently seeking public support to expand the program.
Job Rides has around 150 riders. Some are homeless, others are inmates on work release and there are even some refugees. The program gives participants a ride to work and keeps providing the service until they get back on their feet.
Bill Raine, the Founder of Job Rides, said that it takes the riders, the companies they work for, and the public to make the program possible.
“It’s a three-tier system if you will, it’s a hand up not a handout. We have folks that the rider pays a little bit in, the company we’re bringing them to pays a little bit in, and this year I’m really focused on the third tier the general public. Hopefully, they like what they see, like what they hear and they want to contribute to what we’re doing to help these folks out and also make society a little bit better place,” Raine said.
Raine said that in 2022, riders that were a part of Job Rides earned a combined $2.6 million in income.

Mexican actor guilty in Miami road rage death
MIAMI (AP) — A Mexican actor was convicted in South Florida on Tuesday of fatally punching a man during a road rage confrontation.
A six-person jury in Miami-Dade circuit county found Pablo Lyle, 35, guilty of manslaughter, according to court records. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
“Two lives were destroyed by simple roadway anger, a situation we see far too often on our streets and on streets across the country,” Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said in a statement.
Before his arrest in the United States, Lyle starred in several Televisa telenovelas and a Netflix crime show called “Yankee.” His first major role was the lead on “La sombra del pasado.”
Lyle has claimed he acted in self-defense and was trying to protect his children in March 2019 when he punched Juan Ricardo Hernandez, 63, during a confrontation at a Miami intersection.
The unarmed Hernandez suffered a traumatic brain injury and died four days later at a hospital.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Several Oregon school districts in different parts of the state are seeing a larger-than-usual numbeer of kids missing school because they’re sick the past few weeks.
Officials with the Hillsboro School District told KOIN 6 News student absences are up about 33% from this time last year. Schools in Umatilla County were closed Tuesday due to illness.
Both students and teachers were out sick a day before the Thanksgiving break.
But many school districts told KOIN 6 News they don’t keep track of why children are absent other than reported as sick calls.
Pediatricians who spoke with KOIN 6 News said much of what is being passed around is RSV and the flu — both highly contagious. They said now is the time to talk about how to protect the youngest and oldest who are invited guests for Thanksgiving dinner.
The talk should include how much risk people are willing to take. Keep in mind these contagious viruses live on surfaces for quite some time. Among the suggestions:
- Don’t share glasses, dishes or silverware
- Keep sick kids away from everyone (which may be difficult)
- Give invited guests permission not to come if they are sick or at high risk
It’s kind of like resuming COVID protocols — opening windows, using air purifiers, getting air flowing can help during indoor gatherings. Put on a mask if you choose when socializing.
And have someone on duty to wipe down surfaces and designate someone to serve the food rather than having everyone touch the serving spoons.
One final tip: put clean towels in the bathroom — disposable paper hand towels instead of having people use the same cloth towel over and over.
With all of that, enjoy! | https://www.koin.com/news/health/thanksgiving-guests-in-rsv-flu-season-present-challenges/ | 2022-11-23 00:55:39 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/news/health/thanksgiving-guests-in-rsv-flu-season-present-challenges/ |
Oliva appointment marks 25-year first
Jacob Oliva -- Gov.-Elect Sarah Huckabee Sanders' pick for the job of Arkansas secretary of education -- would be the state's first education chief without previous Arkansas ties since Gene Wilhoit served from 1993-97.
Oliva currently is senior chancellor in the Florida Department of Education where he oversees the division of public schools. A former Florida superintendent, Oliva was appointed to that state position by the Florida Commissioner of Education in 2017.
Wilhoit, a Kentuckian who served in the administration of Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, came to Arkansas from the executive director's job at the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of State Boards of Education.
Arkansas' current education secretary is Johnny Key who has held the state education chief's job since 2015, making him the longest tenured state education leader since Arch Ford was the state Director of Education from 1953-1978, according to the state agency's website.
Burst pipes plague Arkansas schools
Arkansas schools did not necessarily escape frozen water pipes last month when temperatures dipped into single digits and below.
Jeremy Owoh, superintendent of the Jacksonville/North Pulaski School District, reported frozen pipes at Jacksonville High, and Pinewood and Dupree elementaries.
Jessica Duff, a spokeswoman for the Pulaski County Special School District, said Joe T. Robinson High had a burst pipe.
Jermall Wright, superintendent of the Little Rock School District, said the following campuses were affected in some way:
• Hall High -- busted water supply lines.
• Southwest High -- busted sprinkler heads.
• Watson Elementary, Pulaski Heights Middle, Jefferson Elementary, Hamilton Learning Academy, Cloverdale Middle, Parkview Magnet High and the district's Child Nutrition Warehouse all had busted water lines in various parts of the building.
• Dunbar Middle -- busted heater boiler.
• McDermott Elementary -- busted fan coil.
• Chicot Elementary -- blown Entergy fuse on power line. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jan/01/education-notebook/ | 2023-01-01 11:34:30 | 1 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jan/01/education-notebook/ |

Which Dermaflash product is best?
Dermaflash is a skin care brand that makes dermaplaning products. The brand was created by beauty entrepreneur Dara Levy in 2016 and offers skin treatments that can be done at home. Dermaplaning uses sharp precision blades to exfoliate your skin, leaving you with a fresh, radiant complexion. Dermaflash devices are quick to use and save you trips to the spa while giving similar results. The most effective product is the Dermaflash Dermapore Ultrasonic 2-in-1 Device.
What to know before you buy a Dermaflash product
Sonic technology
Dermaflash products are made with sonic technology, which uses vibrational frequencies at high speeds to treat the outer layer of the skin. The professional-grade sonic devices improve blood circulation and stimulate lymphatic drainage, leading to healthier skin. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and helps maintain a bright complexion.
Skin condition
Dermaplaning is an excellent treatment for reducing the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation and uneven textures. By gently exfoliating your skin, it removes the dullness and texture caused by peach fuzz and dead skin cells.
However, you should avoid dermaplaning if you have active acne that is still visible and raised above the skin. Using Dermaflash on broken skin will further irritate you and lead to more active breakouts. Additionally, if you have any other open wounds or bruises, they may get infected and worsen the condition of your skin.
Skin prep
Dermaplaning on dirty or dehydrated skin may cause irritation and an uneven, unappealing look. Prepping your skin before using Dermaflash allows the device to work effectively and gives you better results. You should prep your skin by cleansing and hydrating with facial cleansers of your choice or a Dermaflash pre-flash cleanser and then a post-flash moisturizer (this comes in a refillable Dermaflash kit). Moisturizing your skin after dermaplaning is an important step that protects your skin barrier from damage.
What to look for in a quality Dermaflash product
Painless
Dermaflash technology is made to be gentle and completely painless when used properly. The sterile precision blades of the devices feel light and feathery and are designed to reduce the chances of knicks or bruises. By holding the device at a 45-degree angle, it can be used in short, quick strokes that, at most, give a slight pinching sensation.
Easy to use
Dermaflash products are simple to use and can easily become a part of your regular routine. The device’s package has a step-by-step guide to help you set it up.
Caring for your device is also easy. It should be charged before each use and cleaned with alcohol wipes after each use to avoid the buildup of bacteria. Each device comes with a base charger and extra blades or skin prep products depending on which Dermaflash product it is. You can store these in the box or an area that is dry and clean.
Instant results
According to Dermaflash, you should see visible results almost immediately after using its products. You can physically see all the debris, hair and buildup that have been removed from your skin, revealing an instant glow.
Additionally, it makes your skin a smoother canvas for makeup application. The makeup blends in better because the barrier of dead skin and peach fuzz has been taken off. This gives your final look a more natural finish with fewer creases.
How much you can expect to spend on Dermaflash products
Dermaflash products cost between $29-$120, depending on the product and its function.
Dermaflash product FAQ
Will my hair grow back thicker after using Dermaflash?
A. No, your hair will only grow back at its normal rate, as dermaplaning does not completely remove the hair, just cuts it.
Can I use Dermaflash on my upper lip?
A. It can be used on your upper lip, but never directly on your lips.
How often should I use Dermaflash products?
A. They are safe to be used from three times a week to twice a month, depending on the type of Dermaflash product and your skin’s needs.

HOUSTON — New data from CARFAX shows that nearly half of the cars on the road in the United States need maintenance.
The holiday travel season is here and 49 million drivers are expected to put some miles on their vehicles during the Thanksgiving holiday. But before you jump in the car and head to grandma’s house, you might want to give that ride a little love.
Data from CARFAX shows that nearly half of the vehicles that are on the road are overdue for a tire rotation.
Tire rotations help to avoid:
- Uneven tread wear patterns
- Unreliable handling
CARFAX also reports that 30% of vehicles are behind on oil changes.
Oil changes are important to ensure:
- Proper engine lubrication
- Debris and sludge are flushed out
- Engine temperature is well-regulated
- Best engine performance
- Optimal gas mileage
“It’s going to cost you less over the course of your ownership,” Emilie Voss, with CARFAX, said. “It’s going to make the car worth more. We know on average that a vehicle that’s well-maintained sells for about $2,000 more when you go to sell it over the course of its lifetime.”
Another piece of data released by CARFAX is that one-in-five cars have an open recall that hasn’t been fixed.
CARFAX has a website that lets you check for recalls: Check for Car Recalls - Search by License Plate or VIN - CARFAX.
You can check for open recalls through the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration by clicking Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSA. | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/vehicle-maintance-tires-rotated/285-4b584c57-7d13-4f6c-9c20-896a7c2f3c80 | 2022-11-18 03:11:05 | 1 | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/vehicle-maintance-tires-rotated/285-4b584c57-7d13-4f6c-9c20-896a7c2f3c80 |

One of the finest American directors working today, Kelly Reichardt is not exactly a household name. Not one of her films has ever received a single Academy Award nomination, and she has never worked on anything that features superheroes or aliens.
Her films, including "Old Joy," "Wendy and Lucy," "Certain Women," and "First Cow," are not fast-paced. They are patient, and delicately observant. They are tuned into life's rhythms, and the feelings of human interactions.
Visiting the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive last month, Reichardt sat down with The Examiner to discuss her latest work, "Showing Up" — which opens Friday in Bay Area theaters — and providing some insight into her unique process.
Whereas her previous film "First Cow" felt like — and was, in fact, based on — a novel, "Showing Up" feels more like a beautiful short story.
It tells the story of Lizzy (Michelle Williams) an uptight Portland sculptor who is preparing for a show. Her hot water isn't working, and her landlady/neighbor Jo (Hong Chau) — also an artist — isn't in a hurry to have it fixed. They rescue an injured bird and take turns babysitting it. And Lizzy worries about her brother (John Magaro) and his increasingly erratic behavior.
In-between plot elements, it simply exists, capturing the feel of this place and this time.
"It was a pretty long haul getting to it," said Reichardt. "Everything was percolating for a long time."
She worked with co-writer Jonathan Raymond, who wrote the novel "First Cow" was based upon ("The Half-Life") and has co-authored six of Reichardt's eight films.
"Showing Up" began when Raymond and Reichardt traveled to Vancouver to research a film about artist Emily Carr (1871-1945), who became a landlord as a way of making a living and finding time to paint.
"We thought she was this obscure painter, but we found out that she's huge in Vancouver, like an icon," said Reichardt. "So that put the kibosh on that, but this idea of trying to set up your life so you can work more at your art and less at your job, sort of stuck with us."
"We came back into our own world of makers and kind of made a salad of all the people we've known over the years," she continued. "It became this."
Reichardt and Raymond work together by just hanging out and talking. They live near each other. They take walks. They get coffee. Reichardt spends time at Raymond's house with his family. She has meals with them and relaxes on their porch.
Then it's time to write. "Jon always does the first pass," she said. "In that pass, the heart of the film is there, and the main characters are in place. He gives it to me and I take it apart and start rebuilding it in a way that I understand. There are holes that need to be filled in. And other characters of the world, that's kind of my terrain, and then they get pushed into the rest of the script and moved around."
"But it's an ongoing conversation," she continued. "I keep working on it until we're shooting. And I work on it after scouting. I go out and I come back and new things get put into the script."

This organic way of working continues into the editing process, which, unlike many directors, Reichardt does herself. She explains that she taught herself how to edit on her first film, "River of Grass" (1994), because she couldn't afford to hire one, and it stuck.
"Now I'm very attached to the process," she said. "I think it helps me in designing my shots, and what I want to shoot. And there's so much you find in editing. Now that I probably could hire an editor, I don't want to give it up. I really just enjoy it."
All of this contributes to Reichardt as a deeply personal auteur, with a recognizable tone and style. She confessed that she probably couldn't be a "director for hire," even if she wanted to.
"I don't know how I would shoot a film if someone just handed me a complete script, and I didn't have that process of working on it," she said. "I don't know how I would figure it all out if I didn't do it. I guess that's just how I've learned."
Yet she also admits that luck and fate play into the filmmaking process. For example, by chance, "Showing Up" is being released just weeks after three of its cast members were nominated for Oscars, Michelle Williams and Judd Hirsch for "The Fabelmans," and Hong Chau for "The Whale."
"Showing Up" is Reichardt's fourth collaboration with Williams. "I already know how good that's going to be. She keeps growing and going to new places and upping her game."
The other cast members worked well together.
"I didn't know Hong at all, and she's a total pleasure. She's super easy to work with. And Judd is a huge character and all over the place, and then dynamite when the camera is rolling," she said.
Another bit of luck came with the casting of André Benjamin (also known as "André 3000" from the hip-hop group Outkast) as another artist who operates the kiln for the sculptors.
"I didn't know Andre was going to be playing the flute all the time, and I'd end up with this beautiful flute music," Reichardt said. "He just walks around and plays the flute. He let us record him, and that was super cool. It's this beautiful woodwind sound. It really does float in in the mix. I hear the wind in the trees and I hear the birds, and then down the street I hear Andre's flute."
She paused for a moment, reflecting. Then, spoken as a true artist who is open to everything, sums up her art.
"I guess like everything in filmmaking, you're plotting it and designing it and working towards it, and then there are things that are out of your hands like chemistry or weather, that are going to present themselves," she said.
"There's an element that you're not controlling, thank goodness, and it comes to life." | https://www.sfexaminer.com/culture/movies-and-tv/kelly-reichardt-talks-about-her-new-film-showing-up/article_38d2e180-da23-11ed-8553-87b9d59f0c3e.html | 2023-04-14 18:10:28 | 0 | https://www.sfexaminer.com/culture/movies-and-tv/kelly-reichardt-talks-about-her-new-film-showing-up/article_38d2e180-da23-11ed-8553-87b9d59f0c3e.html |

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portuguese authorities on Monday set in motion a summer contingency plan at the country’s airports, promising unprecedented staffing levels at passport control amid chaotic scenes in Lisbon and other airports across Europe.
The contingency plan incudes an additional 176 police - trained at immigration procedures - assigned to passport control and another 55 Border Service inspectors. Most will be sent to Lisbon airport.
Wider use of electronic passport gates, more support staff to help passengers and improved information services are also promised for the summer.
The government said the plan is a response to the “exponential” increase in arrivals, as travel has boomed after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Scores of flights were cancelled last weekend, resulting in long queues and irate passengers at Lisbon airport. Similar scenes have occurred across Europe and at airports in the United States.
The pressure on Lisbon airport eased Monday, though several dozen flights were cancelled, local media reported.
Portuguese authorities have blamed a variety of reasons for the disruption, including an unanticipated surge in travelers, cancellations elsewhere in Europe having a knock-on effect, and a shortage of staff. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Portugal-enacts-contingency-plan-to-tackle-17283529.php | 2022-07-04 17:31:37 | 1 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Portugal-enacts-contingency-plan-to-tackle-17283529.php |
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (compared to Third Quarter 2021 unless otherwise noted)
- Net sales of $1.11 billion increased 5%, reflecting growth in our marine and housing markets, partially offset by a 40% reduction in RV OEM shipments
- Gross profit of $236 million increased 14%
- Gross margin of 21.3% increased 170 basis points
- Operating income of $93 million
- Operating margin of 8.3% decreased 50 basis points
- Net income of $59 million increased 2%
- Diluted earnings per share of $2.43 includes a reduction for the impact of the accounting treatment for convertible notes of $0.20 per share
- Operating cash flows of $156 million increased 126%

ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK), a leading component solutions provider for the Leisure Lifestyle and Housing markets today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 25, 2022.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased $52 million, or 5%, to $1.11 billion from $1.06 billion in the third quarter of 2021, demonstrating the benefit of our strategic end market diversification initiatives. The strength in our marine and housing end markets, market share gains, and the contribution of acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2022 more than offset a $110 million decline in RV revenues in the quarter resulting from the planned reduction of production by our RV OEM customers.
Operating income remained stable at $93 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, and the operating margin of 8.3% in the third quarter of 2022 decreased 50 basis points compared to 8.8% in the same period a year ago. The decline in margin was driven principally by fixed cost absorption related to reduced RV OEM production of approximately 40% in the quarter, increased infrastructure investments to support our growth and strategic diversification efforts, continued execution of our IT transformation initiatives, and an increase in amortization of intangible assets from recent acquisitions, partially offset by the continued realization of efficiencies related to automation initiatives.
Net income increased 2% to $59 million, from $57 million in the third quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share of $2.43 decreased 1% compared to $2.45 for the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share includes a reduction of $0.20 for the accounting treatment of convertible notes discussed below.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that requires its 1.00% convertible notes due 2023 to be presented on an "if converted" basis in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the Company's third quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share was reduced by $0.20. Prior year results do not reflect the adoption of the new accounting standard. The Company does not intend to issue shares in settlement of the 1.00% convertible notes due 2023 that may be converted by their holders.
"We are pleased with our third quarter performance which reflects the resilience of our business and margin profile as a result of our end market diversification and the diligence of our team as we worked with each of our customers in very dynamic market conditions to meet evolving consumer demand," said Andy Nemeth, Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on ensuring that our business is scalable to enable us to stay nimble, and our strong balance sheet positions us well to flex our business model and capitalize upon opportunities for additional growth and strategic diversification."
Jeff Rodino, President, said, "Our team continues to effectively and efficiently manage our business as we navigate the current reduction of production levels in our RV end market while supporting the growth in our marine and housing end market revenues. Our RV customers' thoughtful discipline in managing production is helping maintain healthy dealer inventory levels, and continues to position the industry well to manage through a range of potential market conditions."
Third Quarter 2022 Revenue by Market Sector
(compared to Third Quarter 2021 unless otherwise noted)
RV (47% of Revenue)
- Revenue of $524 million decreased 17% while wholesale RV industry unit shipments decreased 40%
- Content per wholesale RV unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) increased 36% to $5,071
Marine (24% of Revenue)
- Revenue of $271 million increased 57% while estimated wholesale powerboat industry unit shipments increased 5%
- Estimated content per wholesale powerboat unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) increased 60% to $5,109
Manufactured Housing ("MH") (16% of Revenue)
- Revenue of $175 million increased 30% while estimated wholesale MH industry unit shipments increased 10%
- Estimated content per wholesale MH unit (on a trailing twelve-month basis) increased 21% to $6,023
Industrial (13% of Revenue)
- Revenue of $142 million increased 19% while industry housing starts decreased 7%
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Cash provided by operations for the third quarter of 2022 of $156 million increased 126% compared to $69 million in the third quarter of 2021, reflecting continued profitability in our end markets and monetization of our working capital. Capital expenditures totaled $19 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting continued investments in infrastructure, software, and automation initiatives to better align resources for increased scalability, flexibility and efficiency. Net repayments on our revolving credit facility totaled $140 million in the third quarter of 2022.
In alignment with our capital allocation strategy, we returned approximately $14 million to shareholders in the third quarter of 2022, including $7 million through opportunistic repurchases of approximately 154,400 shares and $7 million of dividends.
Our total debt at the end of the third quarter was approximately $1.36 billion, resulting in a total net leverage ratio of 1.8x (as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement). Available net liquidity, comprised of borrowing availability under our credit facility and cash on hand, was approximately $485 million which is net of a $202.5 million temporary reserve against our $775 million revolving credit facility availability until the settlement of our 1.00% convertible notes due February 2023.
Business Outlook and Summary
"In the third quarter of 2022, our team did an outstanding job of flexing our production capabilities and managing our variable costs in response to a 40% reduction in RV OEM shipments," continued Mr. Nemeth. "The marine and housing markets, which represent 53% of our total revenues, continued to perform well and have runway for channel fill with lower than optimum dealer and field inventory levels despite macro-economic headwinds. We believe our ongoing efforts to grow and diversify our end markets will continue to bear fruit and position the Company to manage effectively through periods of volatility. Our capital investment in automation and innovation will aid our ability to grow market share while also helping to drive a resilient margin profile. The $225 million increase in our revolving credit facility capacity during the third quarter of 2022, our balanced capital structure, and improving cash flow provide a solid liquidity foundation and support our goal of delivering long-term value for our shareholders, team members, customers, partners, and communities."

Use of Financial Metrics
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides financial metrics, such as net leverage ratio, content per unit, net debt and available liquidity, which we believe are important measures of the Company's business performance.

We calculate net debt by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the gross value of debt outstanding. RV wholesale unit shipments are provided by the RV Industry Association. Marine wholesale unit shipments are provided by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. MH wholesale unit shipments are provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute. Housing starts are provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

FORT STOCKTON, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Paisano Pete, the 11-foot-tall roadrunner statue, has been a recognizable attraction in the middle of Fort Stockton since 1979, at the corner of North Main Street and East Dickinson Boulevard.
Originally purchased from a Wisconsin company for $6,250, the fiberglass statue was the center of a “Name the Roadrunner” contest, with a $50 prize to the best suggestion.
At 11 feet tall and 22 feet long, the statue was the world’s largest roadrunner, until a larger one was created in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1993, standing at 20 feet tall and 40 feet long.
Paisano Pete was named the “Town Mascot” in the September 2011 issue of Texas Highway’s magazine and is one of the most recognizable roadside attractions in the southwest, according to roadtrippers.com. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/paisano-pete-running-through-since-1979/ | 2023-07-10 03:24:10 | 1 | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/paisano-pete-running-through-since-1979/ |
Chandler to Lead Healthcare Interoperability Company to Drive Seamless Collaboration Between Payers and Providers and Optimize the Patient Experience
SEATTLE, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Opala, a healthcare interoperability partner, today announced that Ken Chandler, former senior vice president of National Accounts for Premera Blue Cross, will join the company as CEO effective July 1, 2022. Having spent more than 30 years in the healthcare sector, Chandler brings unique experience and expertise about the needs of carriers and national employers that will be vital as Opala grows and expands its healthcare data exchange solutions.
"I've seen first-hand the challenges that payers and providers have in accessing all of the information they need to deliver the best possible care to patients," said Chandler. "Opala is developing the connections the healthcare industry needs for a successful evolution to value-based care. Their solutions give payers and providers access to wide-ranging health data within their normal workflow, eliminating the administrative burdens that take time away from the patient. I'm joining the team because of the potential Opala has to make fundamental changes in healthcare. I have seen a lot of innovation in healthcare, and Opala stood out as a company that can provide greater efficiency and better outcomes for patients."
For over 20 years, Chandler was with Premera Blue Cross, most recently serving as senior vice president of National Accounts. In that role, he was responsible for an $8.9 billion business portfolio representing all of Premera's largest, high profile, complex and sophisticated employer clients. During this time, Chandler also served as Chairman of the Consortium of Health Plans Board of Directors and drove product solutions aimed at improving access to care and health innovations. He also served in a secondary role as CEO of Vivacity, a Premera-owned wellness company. Earlier in his career at Premera, Chandler served as vice president of National Account Operations and vice president of Operations for LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon, a Premera-owned company.
Chandler joins Opala after a year of significant growth for the company as it reached revenue goals and grew its headcount from eight to more than 40 employees year-to-date. Looking ahead, Chandler will lead the company as it streamlines healthcare data exchange and expects to release new products to improve value-based contracts and satisfy CMS Interoperability mandates for health plans by the end of the year. In May 2022, Opala was sponsored by Providence and MultiCare, two of the largest regional health systems in Washington, to join the Da Vinci Project, a collaboration of industry experts addressing the dual challenges of data standardization and interoperability in healthcare.
"Interoperability is vital for creating a sustainable, effective healthcare system," said Richard Cooper, former CEO of the Everett Clinic and Opala advisor. "I share the enthusiasm about what Opala is building. The company is well positioned with Ken at the helm to improve the way payers and providers collaborate to deliver patient centered value-based care."
Founded in 2020, Opala is on a mission to vastly improve healthcare information flow in real time. With solutions directly connecting data flows across the healthcare experience, Opala seeks to provide a complete longitudinal clinical view, enabling every patient's experience to be optimized through seamless collaboration between payers and providers. In 2021, Opala launched the Opala Data Hub and CMS Interoperability Compliance products with its largest client, a regional health plan in Washington state and Alaska. Opala's newest solutions – Patient Access API, Provider Directory API, Payer to Payer Exchange, and the soon-to-be-released Eligibility and Attribution Rosters API – automate and standardize payer and provider data exchange and support Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), value-based contract performance, and quality of care. Opala is headquartered in Seattle, WA. For more information, visit www.opala.com.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian aviation investigators concluded Thursday that a nearly decade-long failure to properly repair a malfunctioning automatic throttle, pilots' overreliance on the plane's automation system, and inadequate training contributed to the crash of a Boeing 737-500 last year that killed 62 people.
National Transportation Safety Committee investigators said in their final report that the Sriwijaya Air jet's maintenance record showed the problem with the automatic throttle had been reported by pilots 65 times since 2013 and was still unsolved when the 26-year-old plane plunged into the Java Sea after taking off from Jakarta on Jan. 9, 2021.
Lead investigator Nurcahyo Utomo said at a news conference that the pilots’ last conversation with air traffic control was about 4 minutes after takeoff, when they responded to an instruction to go up to 13,000 feet. The plane’s flight data recorder showed it reached an altitude of 10,900 feet and then began declining, Utomo said.
He said the plane required less engine thrust as it neared its target altitude, but that the automatic throttle was unable to reduce the right engine’s power because of friction in the mechanical system.
The automatic throttle attempted to compensate by reducing the left engine's power further, cutting its output to as low as 34%. The right engine’s power remained at its climb setting, or about 92%, resulting in sharply unequal thrust, the report said.
The pilot fought to bring the plane up, but “was unable to recover from the situation,” and the jet rolled onto its left side, the report said.
A minute later, the flight data recorder showed that the automatic throttle had been disengaged as the plane pitched down. The recorder stopped recording a few seconds later.
The automatic throttle can be used by pilots to set the speed automatically, thereby reducing their workload and wear on the engines. Movements of the automatic throttle are linked to 13 other components of the plane, the report said.
Many of the problems leading to the crash were disclosed in a preliminary report issued by Indonesian authorities last year. The final report released Thursday provided new details of the pilots' response to them.
Utomo said inadequate training "contributed to the inability of the pilot to prevent and recover from the condition.”
The pilots’ overreliance on the plane's automation system may have resulted in inadequate monitoring in the cockpit, so that the flight deviation was not immediately noticed, the report said.
Utomo said the voice data recorder only worked on one audio channel, and another channel that was supposed to record all voices in the cockpit was filled with an unknown buzzing sound that prevented investigators from fully analyzing the coordination between the two pilots.
The report concluded that repeated attempts to repair the automatic throttle over the years had failed because they had not properly fixed the mechanical issue.
Investigators worked with Boeing and engine maker General Electric to review information from the flight data recorder. A team from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration also joined the investigation.
The plane had been out of service for almost nine months because of flight cutbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Regulators and the airline said it underwent inspections before resuming commercial flights in December 2020.
The disaster reignited concerns about safety in Indonesia’s aviation industry, which expanded quickly after the country's economy was opened up following the fall of dictator Suharto in the late 1990s. The United States banned Indonesian airlines from operating there in 2007 but lifted the measure in 2016, citing improvements in compliance with international aviation standards. The European Union lifted a similar ban in 2018.
Sriwijaya Air, an Indonesian domestic airline founded in 2003, has had only minor safety incidents in the past, though a farmer was killed in 2008 when a plane went off the runway while landing due to a hydraulic issue.
In 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air crashed, killing 189 people. An automated flight control system played a role in that crash, but the Sriwijaya Air jet did not have that system on board. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Report-Failure-to-fix-throttle-led-to-Indonesia-17573743.php | 2022-11-10 12:26:19 | 0 | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Report-Failure-to-fix-throttle-led-to-Indonesia-17573743.php |
(WJHL) — Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) responded to the U.S. House passing legislation on Wednesday that aims to combat the country’s gun violence epidemic in the wake of shootings that recently claimed the lives of 10 Black people in Buffalo and 19 elementary students and two teachers in Uvalde.
In a video, Harshbarger described the gun reform as “the Democrats’ gun-grabbing legislation” and claimed the measures would lead to “wide-spread confiscation.”
The House-passed legislation, dubbed “Protecting Our Kids Act,” consists of multiple bills that aim to pull the reins on what some consider to be laissez-faire gun laws. Proposals include increasing the legal age from 18 to 21 to purchase a semi-automatic firearm and prohibiting the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
The 223-204 vote followed days of testimony from the families of mass shooting victims — including the racially motivated shooting in a Tops store in Buffalo, New York that killed 10 people and the third-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history two weeks ago in Uvalde, Texas.
“We all want to address the violence plaguing our nation, but I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again,” Harshbarger said. “Threatening American liberties is never the answer. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people, and until we address the root cause of why people kill these people, the problem will continue.”
While Harshbarger was one of the many Republicans who did vote against the bill, the Associated Press reported that five Republicans strayed from their party by helping it move forward. The AP also reported that two Democrats voted against it.
The legislation is not expected to pass in the Senate, with many Republicans instead rallying for improvements in mental health programs. Harshbarger’s full statement is available at the top of this story. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/harshbarger-says-house-passed-gun-measures-would-lead-to-wide-spread-confiscation/ | 2022-06-09 19:01:09 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/harshbarger-says-house-passed-gun-measures-would-lead-to-wide-spread-confiscation/ |
The new Powerline Trail in Greenfield is now open for runners, walkers, bicyclists and others
It's open.
The first phase of the Powerline Trail, a new paved, shared-use path in Greenfield, is now open for running, walking, bicycling and other forms of recreation.
The 3-mile segment connects to the Oak Leaf Trail near South 105th Street and West Cold Spring Road and extends east within the We Energies power line corridor to South 60th Street.
Construction on the 10-foot-wide trail began in the spring and a grand opening ceremony was held Oct. 5.
Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke cut the ceremonial ribbon and said the moment was a long time in coming.
"We’ve been working on making this trail a reality for decades," Neitzke said in an email. "It was great to see the many that worked so long and hard actually standing on a real trail. I know I felt great about it after almost 25 years."
Construction of Phase 1 cost $1.54 million, with a state Department of Transportation grant covering $1.23 million and the city funding $308,000.
Neitzke said the city has secured grant funding for the next phase of the trail, Phase 2, which will extend the path from 60th Street east to Pondview Park, just east of 35th Street.
Construction of Phase 2 could take place in 2024, if all goes according to plan, he said.
The hope is to ultimately extend the trail all the way to Lake Michigan.
The trail will be part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Route of the Badger, a plan for a 700-mile inclusive regional trail network in southeastern Wisconsin.
Neitzke said reaction to the trail's opening has been overwhelmingly positive.
"I have received nothing but enthusiastic feedback, even by a couple of early doubters," he said. "The best feedback that really matters is seeing people using it every time I’ve driven by. That’s real success."

Eutaw families find themselves without a home after Tuesday’s storm
Several families were displaced around West Alabama after heavy storms and several tornadoes destroyed their homes Tuesday evening.
In Eutaw, 50 residents at Sagewood Apartments lost their home after the building’s roof flew off.
“My apartment is at the top left, ” said Sahquille Davis. “The bricks are broken, my door is swung open, my roof is gone, clearly.”
The National Weather Service in Birmingham determined the cause was an EF1 tornado.
“I have lost everything,” Davis said. “They have condemned the building, so no one is to go in. So, if you did have anything to salvage, it’s just done.”
WVUA 23’s Chelsea Barton walked with Davis as she got as close as she could to what’s left of the place she and her three sons called home for the past four years.
“That’s my kids’ room,” she said.”That’s their Sonic poster still on the wall. It is their favorite character. That is about it. That’s all I can identify in my apartment at the moment.”
Davis said her family and friends have been helping her put one foot in front of the other. Not to mention, she’s keeping in mind that material things can always be replaced.
“I’m beyond grateful, ” Davis said. “I still have a smile on my face. My neighbors are in good health. Everybody is completely fine. They are a little shaken up, but that is nothing out of the ordinary. Everyone is going to be fine. And as for Greene County as a community, we are going to stick together. Help one another out. Reassure that this is something just for the moment. It is just for right now. We are going to be okay.
Despite the devastation, Eutaw city leaders decided to continue with their Christmas Parade Thursday.
Davis said she made sure her sons were there so they could forget what they’ve lost and remember what they’re most grateful for this holiday season.
“That’s what Greene County is about,” she said. “That is what family is about, and Greene County as a whole is a family. They are always going to come together as one to help one another and just still having the Christmas parade, those kids are going to be so happy. I know a lot of them are probably looking forward to getting candy and just seeing everybody being happy and in good spirits around the holidays because it’s so close to the holidays and losing your home, that is something you really have to shake back but also be so grateful that you are still here to witness another day.” | https://www.wvua23.com/eutaw-families-find-themselves-without-a-home-after-tuesdays-storm/ | 2022-12-04 02:33:45 | 0 | https://www.wvua23.com/eutaw-families-find-themselves-without-a-home-after-tuesdays-storm/ |
Oregon judge extends ban on new gun law's background checks
PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon judge on Tuesday declined to lift his order that temporarily freezes part of a new, voter-approved gun safety measure requiring a completed criminal background check before a gun can be sold or transferred.
More:State argues part of Oregon gun measure should take effect
Harney County Judge Robert S. Raschio previously dealt a blow to gun control advocates when he put all other elements of the tough new law on hold, including a permit-to-purchase provision and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
On Dec. 23, he heard oral arguments from Oregon on a motion to allow the law’s background check provision to take effect even while the constitutionality of the Measure 114's other elements were decided by the courts. Under federal law, firearms dealers can sell guns without a completed background check if the check takes longer than three business days — a practice Oregon’s new law would end.
More:Measure 114: Judge extends ban on parts of tough new gun law
The so-called “Charleston loophole” allowed a man in Charleston, South Carolina, to buy a gun in 2015 and kill nine Black parishioners at a church.
Raschio last month paused all parts of the Oregon gun control measure. He issued a preliminary injunction against its restrictions on the sale, manufacture and use of large-capacity magazines and a temporary restraining order on the requirement that a permit be obtained to buy a gun.
The state has said it will be ready to support a permit program in March.
In his opinion issued Tuesday, Raschio said he would reconsider severing the background check provision of the law from the rest of the measure only if the permit-to-purchase element was ultimately found to be unconstitutional. He stressed that he has not made a final determination on the constitutionality of any of Measure 114's provisions.
The lawsuit in Harney County, filed by Gun Owners of America Inc., the Gun Owners Foundation and several individual gun owners, sought to have the entire law placed on hold while its constitutionality is decided. The state lawsuit specifically makes the claims under the Oregon Constitution, not the U.S. Constitution.
Burns, the town where the lawsuit was filed, is more than 280 miles (450 kilometers) southeast of Portland in a rural and sparsely populated corner of the state.
Measure 114 requires a permit, criminal background check, fingerprinting and hands-on training course for new firearms buyers. It also bans the sale, transfer or import of gun magazines over 10 rounds unless they are owned by law enforcement or a military member or were owned before the measure’s passage. Those who already own high-capacity magazines can only possess them in their homes or use them at a firing range, in shooting competitions or for hunting as allowed by state law after the measure takes effect.
Gun rights groups, local sheriffs and gun store owners have filed at least four lawsuits, almost all in federal court, saying the law violates Americans’ constitutional right to bear arms. The Harney County lawsuit is the only one filed in state court, gun rights advocates said.
A federal judge in Portland hearing a different challenge to the law under the U.S. Constitution on Dec. 6 delivered an initial victory to proponents of the sweeping gun-control measure that passed in the Nov. 8 midterms.
In that ruling, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut allowed the ban on the sale and transfer of new high-capacity magazines to take effect. She also granted a 30-day delay before the law’s permit-to-purchase mandate takes effect, but did not quash it entirely as gun rights advocates had wanted.
Raschio’s subsequent ruling the same day threw the law into limbo: Because that lawsuit challenged Measure 114 under the Oregon Constitution, it held precedence in the state, legal experts said.
The law’s fate is being carefully watched by both gun rights advocates and those who want stricter limits on gun ownership. It would be one of the first to take effect since the U.S. Supreme Court in June struck down a New York law that placed limits on carrying guns outside the home. | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2023/01/04/oregon-judge-extends-ban-on-new-gun-laws-background-checks/69775959007/ | 2023-01-04 04:43:03 | 0 | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2023/01/04/oregon-judge-extends-ban-on-new-gun-laws-background-checks/69775959007/ |
Registered Republicans in a new University of North Florida poll showed support for state Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as a potential contender for a 2024 presidential bid.
The new poll, published Thursday, found that 52 percent of registered Republican respondents in the state said they would vote for DeSantis in a 2024 Republican presidential primary, while 27 percent of those surveyed said would cast their votes for former President Trump.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who announced her presidential campaign last month, came in third, with 4 percent of registered Republican respondents saying they would vote for her, followed by former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who received support from 3 percent of respondents, and former Vice President Mike Pence, who received support from 2 percent of those surveyed.
When asked to choose between Trump and DeSantis in a head-to-head race, 59 percent of state Republican respondents said they would vote for DeSantis, and 28 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for Trump.
When asked about an hypothetical 2024 match-up between President Biden and Trump, 50 percent of state respondents said they would vote for Trump, while 43 percent of those surveyed said they would cast a vote for Biden, according to the poll.
When asked the same question about a hypothetical DeSantis-Biden 2024 match-up, 51 percent of state respondents said they would vote for DeSantis as 42 percent of those surveyed said they would cast their vote for Biden.
The poll comes as DeSantis, whose name has been mentioned as a top potential presidential candidate in 2024, used his State of the State address on Tuesday to highlight how he fought back against “woke” culture in his state and touted his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DeSantis’s State of the State address also marked the beginning of a 60-day legislative session in Florida. State Republicans, who won supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature last November, are expected to move quickly on bills such as allowing residents to carry a concealed weapon without a license in the state and a ban on abortion.

The National Chicken Council asks the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture for clearer guidance and strict enforcement of misleading product labels.
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Chicken Council (NCC) today announced findings from a recent national survey* of Americans regarding consumer attitudes about chicken and plant-based 'chicken' alternatives. Survey participants included individuals who consume meat and animal products, along with flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans. The results indicate the majority of Americans want clearer product labeling and separate shopping sections for plant-based products.
"When shopping for chicken to grill this Fourth of July weekend, people shouldn't have to waste time at the grocery store dissecting whether they're about to purchase real chicken or an imitation product, let alone discover they've wound up with the wrong product when they get home," said NCC Senior Vice President of Communications, Tom Super. "This study shows there is overwhelming support for clearer packaging and separate store placement for imitation 'chicken,' and that the term 'chicken' should be reserved only for food products made from the actual animals."
One in five Americans (21 percent) have reported that they accidentally purchased the plant-based product, believing it to be real chicken. Consumers who have experienced such confusion point to plant-based packaging and labeling as imitating those of authentic chicken products too closely. Only 14 percent of Americans think that 'chicken' is the appropriate name for plant-based 'chicken.' 69 percent of Americans agree the term 'meat' should only refer to products made from animals.
Even among consumers who have not accidentally purchased the wrong item, there is still support for distinct product labeling. Four in five Americans (81 percent of chicken consumers, along with 86 percent of vegetarians and vegans), want plant-based options to clearly be labeled. At least three in five Americans (62 percent of chicken consumers along with 80 percent of vegetarians and vegans) feel real chicken and plant-based 'chicken' should have their own distinct grocery sections at the store to help eliminate product confusion.
Survey results also indicate that consumers, including those who eat plant-based 'chicken,' prefer authentic chicken for taste, affordability and cooking versatility.
In recent years, grocery shelves and freezers have been flooded with varieties of plant-based proteins that do not contain any amount of poultry, yet bear the name 'chicken' on their labels, implying the product is derived from animals and contains real chicken meat. Considering this, and in light of these new survey findings, NCC has written to the leadership of both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to urge the agencies to issue clearer guidance defining how to name these plant-based products and prioritize enforcement for products marketed in a misleading manner. NCC has also submitted official comments and the survey results to FDA Docket 2021-N-0553, "Labeling of Plant-Based Alternatives to Animal-Derived Foods."
According to the comments, NCC is concerned that plant-based proteins marketed as 'chicken' are misbranded under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act because their labeling misleadingly indicates that the products contain real chicken meat and are nutritionally comparable to real chicken meat. In fact, neither is true.
Additionally, NCC highlighted that the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has long overseen a well-established set of regulations and policies for how poultry products are supposed to be labeled, and the Poultry Products Inspection Act likewise prohibits the labeling of products in a false or misleading manner, as well as the marketing of one food under the name of another.

*These findings are derived from an online survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,164 American consumers, including 767 individuals who regularly eat meat, 352 flexitarians, 125 vegetarians and 75 vegans, that was fielded between April 27 and May 8, 2022 at the 95% confidence level with a margin of error of +/-3.1%.

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A Wichita Falls father pleaded guilty to abusing his 3-month-old daughter in July 2018 and was sentenced to probation Thursday morning.
Jayson Whitacre Dodge, 26, of Wichita Falls, was convicted of injury to a child after entering his guilty plea on Thursday, May 25, 2023, in the 89th District Courtroom.
Dodge was given a 10-year jail sentence, suspended to 10 years of probation, and 160 hours of community service by 89th District Court Judge Charles Barnard.
According to authorities, the child had a black eye and a fractured rib.
The child’s mother told police that she believed Dodge had something to do with it because he had, what she called, a hard grip and couldn’t control his strength.
The woman said Dodge would become frustrated when the baby would cry, something he also admitted to law enforcement.
Dodge told officers that he didn’t know how the black eye happened, but admitted he probably caused it. Police said he also told officers that he caused injuries to his daughter when she was a few months old too. | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/local-news/wichita-falls-man-pleads-guilty-to-abusing-baby/ | 2023-05-25 21:16:20 | 0 | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/local-news/wichita-falls-man-pleads-guilty-to-abusing-baby/ |
TACOMA, Wash. – On November 1, 2022, the City Council passed Substitute Ordinance 28838 amending Title 6, Chapter 6B.20 of the Municipal Code, relating to the City of Tacoma’s annual business license fees. The new fee structure is effective on January 1, 2023 for all business licenses.
In 2023, annual business license fees will increase for all except Tacoma’s smallest businesses who will continue paying $25 a year. Ninety percent of businesses in Tacoma will see either no increase in their annual business license fee, or a $20 or $50 increase based on their annual gross income. The remaining 10 percent of larger businesses will see more substantial increases.
In 2024, annual business license fees will increase for all businesses as shown in the chart below.
Overall, the new fee structure is projected to add more than $10 million into the General Fund over the next biennium, providing the City of Tacoma with additional flexibility in supporting the needs of businesses as well as the broader community.
“I want to applaud Council Member Keith Blocker for hearing the feedback of our businesses and this City Council, and taking the time to rework his ordinance with a focus on engaging our business community going forward,” said Mayor Victoria Woodards. “When the Biennial Budget comes forward later this month, there will be a resolution that asks the Economic Development Committee to have a discussion with the business community on how the City’s General Fund services can best support economic development and businesses.”
“I want to thank Andrea Reay at the Chamber of Commerce in particular for her leadership, and her commitment to participate as a key stakeholder in finding the most impactful solution for Tacoma’s businesses,” said Council Member Keith Blocker, who sponsored the substitute ordinance with the support of Council Members Kiara Daniels and Kristina Walker. “I would also like to acknowledge and thank Francesca Siena at Marlene’s Market for holding a community gathering in September that highlighted the concerns of businesses in Tacoma who talked about needing more from their government. This contributed to my decision to propose the fee increase so that we can do more to address the concerns of our community.”
With the passage of Substitute Ordinance 28838, the City Council’s Economic Development Committee is required to work with stakeholders and recommend any adjustments to the business license fees and tiers for 2025 and beyond. Such recommendation is due to the City Council by September 30, 2023.

Teen's attorney seeks to exclude evidence in Volusia deputy's wrong address arrest
Iyanna Rollins, 19, was charged with four felonies after an encounter with a deputy who responded to the wrong address in Deltona escalated.
Volusia Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Chad Weaver drove to a home in Deltona last year following a report of a home burglary alarm.
But Weaver drove to the wrong street. Then, he spotted a silver car backing out of the driveway he mistakenly thought was the address of the alarm.
Weaver motioned for the car to stop and when it didn't, he ordered “Stop the (expletive) car. Stop!”
The driver, Iyanna Y. Rollins, stopped but the situation only escalated.
Rollins, 19, of Oviedo, ended up being charged with two counts of resisting an officer with violence, and two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. Each is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Rollins was accused of battery and resisting on Weaver and Deputy Erica Muzzy, who was one of several deputies to respond as backup. The charging affidavit accuses Rollins of hitting and kicking Weaver and kicking Muzzy.
Rollins’ attorney, Brice Aikens, of the Umansky Law Firm in Orlando, filed a motion to throw out evidence in the case, including any identification of Rollins by Weaver or any statements made by Rollins. Aikens argued during a hearing Monday that Weaver had no legal reason to stop Rollins and violated her constitutional rights.
Circuit Judge Randell Rowe III said he would issue a ruling on the matter, possibly by Friday.
Rollins who was 18 at the time, was booked into the county jail and released the next day on $15,000 bond.
Teen faces 'very serious charges' in wrong address arrest
Her lawyer said after Monday's hearing that Rollins never had any trouble with the law until this incident. Now she's looking at four felonies.
“Very serious charges,” Aikens said. “That a person with no criminal history is subjected to this and as far as any internal affairs or reprimand from the sheriff’s office to this particular sergeant, none on record as of today. The only person who is facing any significant penalties is my client who was a teenager when this occurred.”
The sheriff’s office responded on Tuesday that most questions from The News-Journal had been addressed by Chitwood or records in the case.
The Sheriff’s Public Information Office also sent the following from Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood on Tuesday: “Discipline of Sheriff’s Office personnel is a matter for the sheriff to determine, not a defense attorney or Frank Fernandez. The sergeant made a human error, but that still doesn’t give the defendant a free pass to punch and kick our law enforcement officers.”
Chitwood posted about the encounter on his Facebook page soon after it happened, saying about Weaver's response to the wrong address: “It was a simple mistake I know he’d like to take back.”
Chitwood continued about Rollins: “She cussed him out, got out of the car, shouted over him, threatened him, then shoved, kicked and punched him in the head. She kicked the next deputy on scene, too.
“So what could have been a simple conversation ended in a trip to jail. Thankfully nobody had any injuries.”
Chitwood said the deputy had been attacked on social media by someone "spewing misinformation," who posted that a young white girl would not have been treated the way Rollins, who is Black, was treated.
“The truth is this young lady made a decision to fight as hard as she could against a sergeant who was just trying to clear a burglary alarm. I won’t let his character come under attack for that.”
Struggle ensues between teen and Volusia Sheriff's sergeant
Weaver was checking on a call July 18, 2022, from an alarm company that the alarm at a home on Ainsworth Avenue in Deltona had gone off but the homeowner was not responding. Weaver testified he used his phone's mapping app for directions to the house. But instead of Ainsworth Avenue, Weaver ended up one street over on Academy Avenue.
Weaver parked his car and walked toward the house on Academy Avenue. Two cars drove past Weaver on Academy before he saw the silver car with the windows tinted so dark he said he could not see inside.
Weaver’s body camera video shows him motioning at the silver car to stop and then yelling “Hey, stop the (expletive) car, stop!”
“Do you stay here?” Weaver asked.
“No,” Rollins said.
“What are you doing here?” Weaver asked.
“Why does it matter?” Rollins said.
“Turn the car off.” Weaver said.
Weaver testified Rollins started to roll up the window. Body camera video shows Weaver opening the door, reaching into the car and apparently grabbing the stick shift lever and then the ignition key.
Improving interactions with police:Minority leaders, police gather to promote new pamphlet on better, safer interactions
Rollins gets out of the car and yells at Weaver.
“Don’t you ever put your (expletive) hands on me,” she yells at him.
Weaver turns her around and tells her she is not under arrest but begins to place handcuffs on her.
The two struggle as Weaver gets her on the ground while she continues to yell at him. Weaver continues to try and handcuff her.
Weaver tells her at one point to “roll the (expletive) over.”
During the struggle, Rollins calls Weaver names and threatens to bite and/or spit on him, according to a charging affidavit. She keeps telling him not to touch her. And she complains her hands are twisted in the handcuffs.
“It didn’t have to be this way,” Weaver said at one point.
“It did 'cause you were aggressive for no reason,” Rollins said.
Under questioning by Assistant State Attorney Elba Roman-Pacheco, Weaver said he was in full uniform with his police equipment, including his badge and gun.
Roman-Pacheco said Weaver was off only by one street and cited the similarities in the addresses with one being 2639 Ainsworth and the other 2629 Academy. The prosecutor said Rollins refused to stop the car, refused to follow lawful commands and was hostile to the deputy.
Roman-Pacheco also said that people are not allowed to fight police.
"And the case law is clear: Even if an arrest is illegal, a defendant is not permitted to use violence to resist an arrest," said Roman-Pacheco, adding the statute was extended in 2008 to include all other police encounters.
Police, minorities work on trust:DeLand police, minority students role play to build trust, answer difficult questions
During cross-examination, Aikens asked Weaver whether Rollins had given him permission to touch her or reach into her vehicle. Weaver said no.
Aikens asked Weaver whether, as part of de-escalation training, he would try to defuse a situation by responding in “a less aggressive way."
“It depends on the scenario and the circumstances around it,” Weaver said.
Aikens asked Weaver whether he told Rollins he was investigating a possible burglary when he reached into the car.
“No sir, not at that point,” Weaver said.
Judge Rowe asked Weaver about Rollins telling Weaver not to touch her after he reached into the car.
“Do you remember touching her or was it just a struggle over trying to turn the car off? Do you remember what that was about?” Rowe asked.
“My belief and from watching the video again just reaching in and putting the car in park and turning the car off,” Weaver said. “That’s the only thing that I can think. At no point did I grab her or try to pull her out of the vehicle.”
Rollins did not testify. When asked after the hearing if she wished she had handled the situation differently, her lawyer answered.
“I think that looking back, the professionals that we employ to be professional should do so,” Aikens said. "My client responded as anyone would subjected to that assault and that conduct that was behest upon her that was not in anyway instigated by my client." | https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/courts/2023/07/11/florida-teen-facing-multiple-felonies-after-confrontation-with-volusia-sergeant/70397678007/ | 2023-07-11 18:15:09 | 0 | https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/courts/2023/07/11/florida-teen-facing-multiple-felonies-after-confrontation-with-volusia-sergeant/70397678007/ |

“All the Eye Can See,” Joe Henry (earMUSIC)
“There goes the sun,” Joe Henry sings, sounding nothing like George Harrison as he contemplates our long, cold, lonely winter.
“All the Eye Can See” is the most diverse album of Henry’s career, surrounding his acoustic guitar with mysterious sounds ancient and modern. The songs are “kind-word blues,” as one verse describes them, with Henry seeking light in a world dimmed by plague, protests, politics and the death of his mother.
As ever, Henry’s lyrics-as-literature are inscrutable and irresistible, full of word combinations not normally found in a songbook. Ghosts sing, words conspire, mountains fall, and borders bleed and blur. Meanwhile, God laughs.
The album was created largely in pandemic isolation, with Henry shipping skeletal recordings to past collaborators as he solicited contributions. What resulted is expansive, arresting accompaniment involving more than 20 musicians, including Bill Frisell, Daniel Lanois, Allison Russell and Patrick Warren, whose keyboard work is central to the discreet but rich and varied arrangements.
Tempos are all slow to moderate, but no two songs sound alike. “Karen Dalton” would fit Phoebe Bridgers; “Yearling” is closer to Phoebe Snow.

HOUSTON, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Axiom Space and the Hungarian government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to further their existing relationship in human spaceflight and to advance opportunities in space research and technology development. The agreement between Axiom and Hungary was signed on July 20, 2022, in Washington, D.C.
The main focus of the new agreement is to further the Hungarian to Orbit (HUNOR) program, Hungary's astronaut program, which aims to send a Hungarian astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS) via a future Axiom Space commercial astronaut mission. Building off the first agreement between Axiom and the Hungarian government, signed on December of 2021, which formalized a partnership to return a Hungarian astronaut to space, this MOU enables a wide range of cooperation and possible joint developments between Axiom Space and Hungary. It acknowledges both the importance the company plays in helping to define the future of human space flight, including through the future Axiom Station, as well as the capacities and space heritage of the Hungarian space sector.
"As we enter this new era of commercial spaceflight, it is vital that the U.S. space industry continues forging relationships with nations committed to collaborating in microgravity research and bringing those benefits back to the people of Earth. The U.S. has a long history of international cooperation in space, bringing countries together for the purpose of benefiting all humans, everywhere," said Michael Suffredini, President and CEO of Axiom Space
"This second agreement between Hungary and Axiom Space builds on efforts to cultivate a robust economy in space by engaging government and industry partnerships. Such collaborations have the power to transform what was once only imaginable," said Suffredini. "We look forward to expanding our relationship with Hungary to include new initiatives in human spaceflight, science, and STEM."
This new agreement underscores Axiom Space and Hungary's common interest to utilize space for peaceful purposes and promote scientific advancement through international collaboration. Under this agreement, Axiom and Hungary will collaborate to enable scientific research and technology demonstrations in microgravity, develop in-space manufacturing capabilities, and inspire the next generation of a strong and capable STEM workforce.
"This partnership with Axiom Space is an important investment that will provide opportunities conduct research in microgravity, strengthen the Hungarian Astronaut Program, and enhance Hungary's work towards advancing space research and technology development. Together, we are confident that the space industry will play a crucial role in the development of our economy and are both committed to investing into this high-tech and knowledge-based sector. The adoption of the first Hungarian governmental Space Strategy that was established last year signifies our commitment towards expanding our involvement and presence in space." said Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary.
The growing relationship between Axiom Space and Hungary symbolizes the company's commitment to provide opportunities to nations across the globe who share an appreciation for the benefits provided by microgravity while strengthening bonds between nations and the world at-large.
Axiom Space is guided by the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere. The leading provider of human spaceflight services and developer of human-rated space infrastructure, Axiom operates end-to-end missions to the International Space Station today while privately building its successor, Axiom Station, the first permanent commercial destination in Earth's orbit that will sustain human growth off the planet and bring untold benefits back home.

A top white-collar criminal defense lawyer has been hired as the lead counsel representing former President Trump following his indictment in a Manhattan criminal case, a Trump spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
Todd Blanche, a former federal prosecutor, is joining the Trump team after leaving New York law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, where he was a partner, according to an email from Blanche to the firm obtained by Politico, which first reported the news.
“I have been asked to represent Trump in the recently charged DA case, and after much thought/consideration, I have decided it is the best thing for me to do and an opportunity I should not pass up,” Blanche said in the letter.
Blanche was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York for nine years. He has experience both investigating and defending cases involving a range of white-collar crimes, including bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations.
Blanche recently represented Rudy Guiliani associate Igor Fruman, who agreed to a plea deal last year in a campaign finance case that landed him a one-year prison sentence. He also represented former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, in a case in which a state judge dropped New York charges against Manafort because of its double jeopardy law. Manafort was sentenced to over seven years in prison in 2019 resulting from a federal prosecution from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

ANN ARBOR -- It was just before midnight in Ann Arbor on Tuesday when LeBron James hit the hot that made him the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Juwan Howard had made sure he stayed awake for it.
Howard, Michigan’s head men’s basketball coach, was James’ teammate with the Miami Heat for three seasons, including when they won championships in 2012 and 2013. Howard transitioned to a Heat assistant coach the next year, which overlapped with James’ final season in Miami. The two have remained friends.
On Tuesday, James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 career points, finishing the night with 38 points in a Los Angeles Lakers loss that put him first all time with 38,390 career points.
Howard was asked about James setting the record following Michigan’s 93-72 win over Nebraska at Crisler Center on Wednesday night. His answer, which lasted more than three minutes, was by far his longest of the night, and perhaps the longest he’d given in any press conference this season.
“What a special moment for a special person,” Howard said. “We all talk about who’s the greatest player? Is it LeBron or MJ? Or Kobe? Let’s really admire and appreciate what LeBron brings to the game.”
Howard referenced that James, 38, was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school junior with the headline “The Chosen One.”
“And (he) follow(ed) that up with work, being dedicated to the game, being dedicated to improving, being dedicated to investing in himself, being dedicated to playing the game the right way.
“Sometimes he gets stomped on because he’s made the right play and everyone thinks he needs to shoot the ball every time he gets the ball. LeBron is a gift -- a gift to the game of the basketball and to the fans.”
Howard was amazed that Abdul-Jabbar’s record, which stood since 1984, was broken.
“And keep in mind, the points never really matter to (James). What matters to him the most is serving the game where he is inspiring young men to play the game they love. He’s doing it in a winning way.”
Howard noted that James went to the NBA Finals eight straight years (2011 to 2018) with the Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, then got there again with a third team, the Lakers, winning his fourth title in 2020.
“I know how hard it is because it took me 17 (seasons) and I won it with him,” Howard said with a laugh. “I’m so proud of him. I’m so happy for him and his family.”
Howard praised James’ wife, Savannah, and their kids for their sacrifices. He mentioned James’ mom and his friends.
“It’s beautiful to see how his life has blossomed. He deserves everything that is coming his way. It’s nice that these young men can look at him as an example. He’s a great example for the game of the basketball. He’s a great example for a Black man, a father; married to a beautiful queen; great example for his kids.
“I’m just so happy for his success. Like I said earlier: He deserves everything that he has worked so hard for. I love him.”

White woman who fatally shot Black neighbor arrested in Florida
OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A Florida woman accused of fatally shooting her neighbor last week in the violent culmination of what the sheriff described as a 2½-year feud was arrested Tuesday, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.
Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, who is white, was arrested on charges of manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery and two counts of assault in the death of Ajike Owens, a Black mother of four, Sheriff Billy Woods said in a statement.
Authorities came under pressure Tuesday to arrest and charge the white woman who fired through her front her door and killed a Black neighbor in a case that has put Florida’s divisive stand your ground law back into the spotlight.
Woods said that this was not a stand your ground case but “simply a killing.”
When interviewed, Lorincz claimed that she acted in self-defense and that Owens had been trying to break down her door prior to her discharging her firearm. Lorincz also claimed that Owens had come after her in the past and had previously attacked her. Through their investigation – including obtaining the statements of eyewitnesses – detectives were able to establish that Lorincz’s actions were not justifiable under Florida law, a statement from the sheriff’s office said.
About three dozen mostly Black protesters gathered outside the Marion County Judicial Center to demand that the shooter be arrested in the country’s latest flashpoint over race and gun violence. The chief prosecutor, State Attorney William Gladson, met with the protesters and urged patience while the investigation continues.
“If we are going to make a case we need as much time and as much evidence as possible,” Gladson said. “I don’t want to compromise any criminal investigation and I’m not going to do that.”
Owens, 35, was killed in the Friday night shooting, Woods said. The women lived in the rolling hills south of Ocala, a north Florida city that is the heart of the state’s horse country.
Woods had said Monday that detectives were working with the State Attorney’s Office and must investigate possible self-defense claims before they can move forward with any possible criminal charges. The sheriff pointed out that because of the stand your ground law he can’t legally make an arrest unless he can prove the shooter did not act in self-defense.
On Tuesday, a stuffed teddy bear and bouquets marked the area near where Owens was shot. Nearby, children were riding bikes and scooters, and playing basketball. Protesters chanted “No justice, no peace” and “A.J. A.J. A.J” using Owens’ nickname. They carried signs saying: “Say her name Ajike Owens” and “It’s about us.”
Outside, the Rev. Bernard Tuggerson said the Black community in Ocala has suffered injustices for years. “Marion County is suffering and needs to be healed completely,” he said. “If we don’t turn from our wicked ways of the world, it’s going to be an ongoing problem. We want answers.”
The sheriff said Owens was shot moments after going to Lorincz’s apartment, who had yelled at Owens’ children as they played in a nearby lot. He also said Lorincz had thrown a pair of skates that hit one of the children.
Deputies responding to a trespassing call at the apartment Friday night found Owens suffering from gunshot wounds. She later died at a hospital.
Before the confrontation, Lorincz had been yelling racial slurs at the children, according to a statement from civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Owens’ family. He also represented Trayvon Martin’s family in 2012, when the Black teenager was killed in a case that drew worldwide attention to the state’s stand your ground law.
The sheriff’s office hasn’t confirmed there were slurs uttered or said whether race was a factor in the shooting.
Lauren Smith, 40, lives across the street from where the shooting happened. She was on her porch that day and saw one of Owens’ young sons pacing, and yelling, “They shot my mama, they shot my mama.”
She ran toward the house, and started chest compressions until a rescue crew arrived. She said there wasn’t an altercation and that Owens didn’t have a weapon.
“She was angry all the time that the children were playing out there,” Smith said. “She would say nasty things to them. Just nasty.” Smith, who is white, described the neighborhood is family friendly.
The sheriff said that since January 2021, deputies responded at least a half-dozen calls in connection with what police described as feuding between Owens and Lorincz.
“There was a lot of aggressiveness from both of them, back and forth,” the sheriff said Lorincz told investigators. “Whether it be banging on the doors, banging on the walls and threats being made. And then at that moment is when Ms. Owens was shot through the door.”
“I’m absolutely heartbroken,” Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, told The Associated Press. She described the fatal shooting as “so senseless.”
“We’ve seen this again and again across this country,” she said, adding that “it’s really because of lax gun laws and a culture of shoot first.”
Ferrell-Zabala said stand your ground cases, which she refers to as “shoot first laws,” are deemed justifiable five times more frequently when a white shooter kills a Black victim.
In 2017, Florida lawmakers updated the state’s self-defense statute to shift the burden of proof from a person claiming self-defense to prosecutors. That means authorities have to rule out self-defense before bringing charges. Before the change in law, prosecutors could charge someone with a shooting, and then defense attorneys would have to present an affirmative defense for why their client shouldn’t be convicted.
In fact, stand your ground and “castle doctrine” cases — which allow residents to defend themselves either by law or court precedent when threatened — have sparked outrage amid a spate of shootings across the country.
In April, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, a white man, shot and injured 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager who rang his doorbell in Kansas City after mistakenly showing up at the wrong house to pick up his younger siblings. Lester faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action; at trial, he may argue that he thought someone was trying to break into his house, as he told police.
Missouri and Florida are among about 30 states that have stand your ground laws.
The most well-known examples of the stand your ground argument came up in the trial of George Zimmerman, who fatally shot Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman, who had a white father and Hispanic mother, told police that Martin attacked him, forcing him to use his gun in self-defense. He was allowed to go free, but was arrested about six weeks later after Martin’s parents questioned his version of events and then-Gov. Rick Scott appointed a special prosecutor.
Before trial, Zimmerman’s attorneys chose not to pursue a stand your ground claim, which could have resulted in the dismissal of murder changes as well as immunity from prosecution. But during the trial, the law was essentially used as part of his self-defense argument. Jurors found him not guilty.
At a vigil Monday, Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias, said that she was seeking justice for her daughter and her grandchildren.
“My daughter, my grandchildren’s mother, was shot and killed with her 9-year-old son standing next to her,” Dias said. “She had no weapon. She posed no imminent threat to anyone.”

New Prescribing Authority Could Improve Access for Some Patients at High Risk for Severe COVID-19
SILVER SPRING, Md., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revised the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir and ritonavir), to authorize state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid to eligible patients, with certain limitations to ensure appropriate patient assessment and prescribing of Paxlovid.
"The FDA recognizes the important role pharmacists have played and continue to play in combatting this pandemic," said Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., director for the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "Since Paxlovid must be taken within five days after symptoms begin, authorizing state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid could expand access to timely treatment for some patients who are eligible to receive this drug for the treatment of COVID-19."
When testing positive for COVID-19, patients should first consider seeking care from their regular health care provider or locating a Test-to-Treat site in their area. While this action allows state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid with certain limitations as described below, community pharmacies not already participating as a Test-to-Treat site can decide if or how they will offer this service to patients.
Patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are seeking to determine their eligibility for receiving Paxlovid at locations where prescribing by state-licensed pharmacists is available should bring the following information to ensure that the state-licensed pharmacist has sufficient information to determine their eligibility to receive Paxlovid:
- Electronic or printed health records less than 12 months old, including the most recent reports of laboratory blood work for the state-licensed pharmacist to review for kidney or liver problems. State-licensed pharmacists could also receive this information through a consult with the patient's health care provider.
- A list of all medications they are taking, including over-the-counter medications so the state-licensed pharmacist can screen for drugs with potentially serious interactions with Paxlovid.
Under the limitations outlined in the authorization, the state-licensed pharmacist should refer patients for clinical evaluation with a physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant licensed or authorized under state law to prescribe drugs, if any of the following apply:
- Sufficient information is not available to assess renal and hepatic function.
- Sufficient information is not available to assess for a potential drug interaction.
- Modification of other medications is needed due to a potential drug interaction.
- Paxlovid is not an appropriate therapeutic option based on the current Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers or due to potential drug interactions for which recommended monitoring would not be feasible.
Paxlovid is authorized for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kilograms or about 88 pounds) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. Patients in the authorized population who report a positive home test result from a rapid antigen diagnostic test, or a positive PCR test, to their provider are eligible for Paxlovid under the EUA. Confirmation of a positive home rapid antigen diagnostic test with additional direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, such as a PCR, is not required. Antibody tests are not considered to be direct SARS-CoV-2 viral tests.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Reliever Jason Adam became the fourth Tampa Bay player to go to a salary arbitration hearing this year, asking a panel for $1,775,000 on Friday while the Rays argued for $1.55 million.
Houston pitcher Cristian Javier avoided a hearing by agreeing to a $64 million, five-year contract, and Philadelphia reliever José Alvarado got a $3.45 million, one-year deal.
Adam was 2-3 with a career-low 1.56 ERA and a career-best eight saves in 67 relief appearances, striking out 75 and walking 17 in 63 1/3 innings. He earned $1.15 million.
A decision is expected Saturday from the panel that heard Adam’s case.
Tampa Bay also is awaiting decisions in the cases of relievers Ryan Thompson ($1.2 million vs. $1 million) and Colin Poche ($1.3 million vs. $1,175,000) and outfielder Harold Ramirez ($2.2 million vs. ($1.9 million). Those decisions are being held for later cases to be argued or settled.
Teams have won three of five decisions: All-Star pitcher Max Fried ($13.5 million) lost to Atlanta and reliever Diego Castillo ($2.95 million) was defeated by Seattle, while pitcher Jesús Luzardo ($2.45 million) and AL batting champion Luis Arraez ($6.1 million) both beat Miami.
A decision also is pending for Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe.
Javier gets a $2 million signing bonus, payable within 30 days of the deal’s approval by the commissioner’s office, and salaries of $3 million this season, $7 million in 2024, $10 million in 2025 and $21 million in each of the following two years.
His salaries in the final two years can increase based on Cy Young Award voting, by up to $6 million in 2026 and $8 million in 2027. He would get a $2 million boost for each first-place finish, $1 million for second and $500,000 for third through fifth,
Javier has the right to block trades to 10 teams without his approval in 2026 and 2027.
A 25-year-old right-hander, Javier went 11-9 with a 2.54 ERA in 25 starts and five relief appearances last year, striking out 198 and walking 52 in 148 2/3 innings. He set career bests for wins, ERA, strikeouts and innings.
Javier won both his postseason starts, pitching 11 1/3 scoreless innings in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against the Yankees and Game 4 of the World Series against Philadelphia.
He started a pair of no-hitters, pitching seven innings at the Yankees on June 25 and six innings in the game at the Phillies — just the second no-hitter in World Series history.
Javier had asked for $3.5 million in arbitration and had been offered $3 million. He made $749,100 last year.
New Houston general manager Dana Brown said Thursday that he’s als attempting to negotiate a long-term deal with outfielder Kyle Tucker, who was awarded the team’s $5 million offer Thursday rather than his $7.5 million request.
Brown said he also is trying to reach long-term deals with second baseman Jose Altuve and third baseman Alex Bregman, whose contracts expire after the 2024 season.
Alvarado went 4-2 with a 3.18 ERA and two saves in 59 relief appearances. He had a 5.56 ERA in 12 postseason appearances for the NL champions, getting the win in the Game 5 pennant-clincher against San Diego. Alvarado failed to hold a one-run lead in the sixth inning of World Series Game 6, relieving Zack Wheeler with two on and giving up a long three-run homer to Houston’s Yordan Alvarez. The Astros went on to a 4-1 victory that won the title.
Alvarado had filed for $3.7 million and the Phillies’ $3.2 million.
Ten players remain scheduled for hearings, which run through Feb. 17, including Philadelphia reliever Seranthony Domínguez.

INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) – Police arrested former NFL player and radio host Joe Staysniak early Tuesday in a battery case, court records show.
Staysniak, 56, was booked into the Hendricks County Jail around 1:40 a.m. on preliminary charges of intimidation, pointing a firearm, strangulation and domestic battery. He was arrested in Brownsburg, according to jail records.
Staysniak, a standout offensive lineman at Ohio State, played six seasons in the NFL, including three with the Indianapolis Colts. Commonly known as “Big Joe,” Staysniak hosted a weekday morning radio show in Indianapolis for years.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to a residence around 11:45 p.m. for a “delayed disturbance.”
According to the probable cause affidavit, a neighbor reported seeing a “suspicious vehicle” in Staysniak’s driveway. When Staysniak went to check, he found two people inside, later determined to be his son and his son’s boyfriend. He pulled the boyfriend by the hoodie and punched his son during the incident, according to the affidavit. Staysniak also allegedly displayed his gun.
The boyfriend told authorities Staysniak pressed the gun against the side of his face.
Staysniak denied punching his son, according to court documents, saying he instead “shoved him backward with an open hand.” He acknowledged he pulled the boyfriend by his hoodie “to get his attention” but denied pointing the gun at him.
Staysniak and his son also got into another fight and had to be physically separated, police said.
After initially saying there would be no comment, Staysniak’s attorney, Guy Relford, released a statement saying he and his client “feel compelled” to issue “clarifications.”
Within the statement, seen below, Relford said he expects the details of the incident to “come out in the courtroom, but we are completely confident that Joe’s actions will be conclusively determined to be legal and justified under the circumstances.”
While Staysniak was booked on intimidation, pointing a firearm, strangulation and domestic battery, his charges have been amended to two counts of battery resulting in bodily injury and strangulation.
During an initial hearing Thursday, Staysniak entered a preliminary plea of not guilty, NBC News reports. He was also ordered to have no contact with his son or the boyfriend while on pretrial release. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/former-nfl-player-arrested-after-incident-with-son-sons-boyfriend/ | 2023-02-23 17:18:00 | 1 | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/former-nfl-player-arrested-after-incident-with-son-sons-boyfriend/ |
