New Mexico voters will get a second — and likely last — chance to watch the two most prominent gubernatorial candidates square off in a face-to-face debate.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Mark Ronchetti are scheduled to take part in a one-hour debate sponsored by KOAT-TV, the Albuquerque Journal and KKOB-AM Wednesday night. Libertarian Karen Bedonie will not participate.
As was the case when they met in KOB-TV’s live debate on Sept. 30, voters should expect Ronchetti and Lujan Grisham to again tangle on high-profile issues like crime, education and abortion.
“Time is running out for the candidates to persuade voters, to persuade the undecided or perhaps even sway allegiances of the voter for one candidate or another,” said pollster Brian Sanderoff of Research and Polling, Inc.
Sanderoff said he expects Ronchetti, a Republican, to prioritize the issue of the state’s crime problem, while Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, will continue to promote her defense of abortion rights.
Spokespeople for both candidates’ campaigns telegraphed what viewers should expect.
“In Wednesday’s debate, Governor Lujan Grisham will lay out her record of success leading New Mexico by growing the economy with 14-year-low unemployment, spearheading historic improvements in our education system, and investing more in public safety than any other governor in New Mexico history — and why we must build on it,” Delaney Corcoran, spokeswoman for Lujan Grisham’s reelection campaign, wrote in an email.
Ryan Sabel, spokesman for the Ronchetti campaign, wrote in an email: “Mark is looking forward to continuing to hold the governor accountable for her disastrous record on crime, the economy, and education. These are the issues that New Mexicans deserve answers on, and Michelle Lujan Grisham has failed to make the case for why she deserves four more years.”
Early voting in New Mexico began this week, which could add a sense of urgency for both candidates, Sanderoff said. That is also why voters should get used to seeing more attack ads from both sides, he added.
Ronchetti’s team has been hammering away at Lujan Grisham with ads and email blasts about a $150,000 settlement the governor reached with a onetime campaign aide, James Hallinan, after he accused her of sexual misconduct. Hallinan said Lujan Grisham poured water on his crotch and then grabbed his crotch during a campaign staff meeting before the 2018 election.
Meanwhile, Lujan Grisham’s campaign team continues to use ads to raise questions and doubts about Ronchetti’s stand on abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year.
Lujan Grisham, who signed a law in 2021 repealing New Mexico’s pre-Roe abortion ban and recently pledged to use $10 million in capital outlay money to build a clinic near the Texas border that would provide abortion services and other reproductive health care, has made her abortion stance a cornerstone of her reelection bid.
A recent Lujan Grisham ad accuses Ronchetti of “flip flopping” on the abortion issue and says voting for her is the “only way to ensure a woman’s access to abortion.” Ronchetti has said he believes abortion should be legal for the first 15 weeks of pregnancy and in cases of pregnancies involving rape, incest or when a mother’s life is at risk.
His stance came into question in July when the pastor of an Albuquerque megachurch told his congregation Ronchetti proposed that stance to get elected, after which he would work to outlaw abortion. In a statement, pastor Steve Smotherman later walked back his comments.
Ronchetti recently called for letting voters decide on the issue with a constitutional amendment.
Sanderoff said while he believes “most voters are fixed in their opinions” by this point, Wednesday’s debate will give the two candidates one more chance to reprise their key messages.
“A good debater will control the narrative and steer the response to the question to their preferred messaging,” Sanderoff said.
The rules for the KOAT-TV debate allow each candidate 90 seconds for opening statements, 90 seconds to answer each question from the moderators and 60 seconds for closing statements. They also have the right to two rebuttals each.
Unlike the first debate, the KOAT-TV rules allow both candidates to ask one question of the other, with 90 seconds to respond. Questions submitted by members of the public may also be asked during the debate.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A Hillsborough County woman successfully fought off a man who physically assaulted her in her apartment complex's gym, the Inwood Park Apartment Complex.
The assault happened on January 22 while Nashali Alma, 24, was exercising. She let the suspect into the gym because she said he was someone she had seen previously in the gym.
Surveillance video showed Alma continuing her workout while the suspect, Xavier Thomas-Jones, 25, approached her and attempted to grab her waist. Alma is seen pushing him off her and demanding he gets away from her. But Thomas-Jones continued to assault her and chase her in the gym.
Thomas- Jones was able to pin Alma on the floor, but Alma continued to fight him off while attempting to call authorities. Eventually, Alma was able to release herself from his grip and ran out of the gym to a nearby apartment, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO).
HSCO was able to track down Thomas-Jones and arrest him on January 23 and faces charges of sexual battery, false imprisonment, and kidnapping. Alma wanted to speak out about her experience to encourage other women who've dealt with similar incidents to speak out.
"I would tell every woman always to keep fighting, never give up," said Alma. "As long as you fight back and show him that you're strong and you're not giving up, I believe it's possible to escape. It's better to reach out to law enforcement sooner than later. The sooner they have the information, the sooner they can catch that person."
"I was disgusted by the suspect's actions, how he preyed on this young woman," said Sheriff Chad Chronister.
"I'm grateful that she came forward; I know her story is going to be an inspiration to other women."
When asked if she was afraid, Alma said, "When it was happening, I actually had no fear, I am a bodybuilder and I am actually pretty strong. So, in my mind, he was kind of equal to me. I didn't see him as bigger; I didn't see him as smaller; I didn't see him as anything. So, in my mind, I knew I was stronger than him, and I knew I could fight back."
Police reports indicate Thomas-Jones had a similar incident happen the next day, which led to his arrest. On January 23, Thomas-Jones, knocked on the victim's door after watching her for several minutes on her balcony, according to authorities.
The victim was not aware that they were being watched prior and answered the door. Thomas-Jones attempted to enter the apartment, which alerted the victim's boyfriend, who chased Thomas-Jones away from the residence. | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-hillsborough/watch-hillsborough-county-woman-fights-off-attacker-in-apartment-complex-gym | 2023-02-16 00:08:08 | 0 | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-hillsborough/watch-hillsborough-county-woman-fights-off-attacker-in-apartment-complex-gym |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts finished runner-up to Patrick Mahomes in AP NFL MVP voting and lost again to him when Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs beat Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
But no QB is atop Hurts now — Philadelphia’s franchise player is about to become the highest-paid player in average annual value in NFL history.
Hurts and the Eagles are set to sign one of the richest deals in NFL history, agreeing to a five-year, $255 million extension, including $179.3 million guaranteed, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal was not yet final.
The Eagles announced later Monday on social media that “QB1 is here to stay.”
“Keeping the main thing in Philly,” they tweeted, referencing one of Hurts’ mottos. “We’ve agreed to terms with Jalen Hurts on a 5-year extension through the 2028 season.”
The 24-year-old Hurts was expected to receive $51 million per season — topping Mahomes and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers — and only Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson ($230M) and Arizona’s Kyler Murray ($189.5M) received more in a single contract.
“Our job in this league is go out there and win football games and make money while doing it, and I’m glad the guys dong it the right way are getting the job security they deserve,” Mahomes said Monday.
Those numbers could be topped soon depending on how the contract situation between the Baltimore Ravens and QB Lamar Jackson plays out. In a series of tweets, the star quarterback said he requested a trade as of March 2. On March 7, the Ravens put the nonexclusive franchise tag on Jackson and said they were still hopeful they could reach a long-term deal with him.
If Jackson does come back without a new deal, he could play this season on Baltimore’s $32.4 million franchise tag.
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert and Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow could each look to Hurts’ deal as a framework for their looming extensions.
The Eagles know where Hurts will be this season.
Hurts delivered a record performance in the Super Bowl, throwing for 304 yards and a touchdown, running for 70 yards and three scores, and adding a game-tying 2-point conversion. Hurts and Mahomes were the first Black QBs to face off in a Super Bowl.
“He’s someone that plays the position the right way, he goes about his business the right way,” Mahomes said. “That’s why they were in the Super Bowl, and he played a great game in the Super Bowl, and proved a lot of people wrong that were still doubting him. It’s great for the quarterback position, the Black quarterbacks coming up behind us. We know about Lamar and the situation there, getting these guys the deals they deserve.”
Philadelphia went 14-1 in Hurts’ starts and he had 3,701 yards passing, 760 yards rushing and 35 touchdowns combined in the regular season. He led the Eagles to the top seed in the NFC and a playoff victory over the New York Giants and over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game.
The Eagles went 0-2 when Hurts sat out two late-season games because of a sprained right shoulder.
The Eagles stunned fans when they drafted Hurts out of Oklahoma in the second round in 2020. They seemingly had Carson Wentz entrenched at QB and had more pressing needs. Hurt was expected to serve as insurance for Wentz. Instead, he supplanted him and became one of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL.
Hurts’ teammates were thrilled to have him back in Philly for years to come.
“Dinner on @JalenHurts!” right tackle Lane Johnson tweeted, along with money-bag emojis.
“my birthday is coming up at the right time!!!” tweeted wide receiver A.J Brown.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and agent Nicole Lynn negotiated the deal with Hurts, who was set to enter the 2023 season on the final year of his rookie contract. He didn’t become the full-time starter until 2021.
Now, the Eagles can’t imagine any other player taking the snaps.

Did you lose money on investments in Waste Management? If so, please visit Waste Management, Inc. Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com to discuss your rights.
NEW YORK, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased certain redeemable senior notes (the "Notes") of Waste Management, Inc. ("WM" or the "Company") (NYSE: WM) between February 13, 2020 and June 23, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The Notes include the following senior redeemable notes issued by WM in May 2019: (i) 2.95% Senior Notes due 2024; (ii) 3.20% Senior Notes due 2026; (iii) 3.45% Senior Notes due 2029; and (iv) 4.00% Senior Notes due 2039. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On April 14, 2019, WM entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger") to acquire Advanced Disposal Systems, Inc. ("ADS") for $4.9 billion, or $33.15 per share. The Merger was conditioned upon an ADS shareholder vote and obtaining antitrust clearance from regulators, including the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ").
On October 25, 2019, WM, ADS, and the DOJ entered into a timing agreement that provided for a minimum 70-day settlement period during which the parties would attempt to reach an agreement on DOJ approval for the Merger, which included DOJ approval of the amount of WM's asset divestures. Unbeknownst to investors, during this process the DOJ informed WM that its agreement to divest $200 million in revenue-producing assets to address antitrust concerns would be insufficient for regulatory approval. The DOJ concluded that the combination of WM and ADS would, without divestures significantly in excess of $200 million, cause harm to municipal solid waste disposal in 24 geographic markets across 8 states, and cause harm to small container commercial waste collection in 33 geographic markets located in 6 states.
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements throughout the Class Period, including omitting material facts relating to: (i) the DOJ's indication to WM that it would require WM to divest significantly more than $200 million; and (ii) the impact of the DOJ's indication on the completion of the Merger and the redemption of the Notes.
On June 24, 2020, WM disclosed that the Company and ADS had revised the terms of the Merger and that WM needed to divest substantially more assets than previously disclosed to receive DOJ approval for the deal. Under the revised Merger terms, WM agreed to purchase ADS for $4.6 billion, or $30.30 per share, thereby reducing WM's acquisition cost by approximately $300 million to $4.6 billion. In addition, WM and ADS had agreed to sell $835 million worth of assets in an attempt to satisfy antitrust regulators, which assets were responsible for generating approximately $345 million in 2019 revenue. WM also revealed that the deal was now not expected to close until "the end of the third quarter of 2020" – six months later than had been represented by defendants at the start of the Class Period and, critically, after the end date which triggered the redemption feature of the Notes.
On this news, the prices of the Notes fell significantly. For example, the 3.45% Notes fell from 109% on June 23, 2020 to just 103% of par on June 24, 2020.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
If you purchased the Notes, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Waste Management, Inc. Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — While the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine will be focuses of the World Economic Forum’s gathering of business and government leaders, so too will climate change. It's captured the world’s attention in unignorable and devastating ways.
The acceleration of rising temperatures, the ferocity and costliness of major weather events, and the impact, particularly on people in developing countries, have pushed the issue from one of science to something that touches every aspect of life, including (or, perhaps especially) business and economics.
Of the roughly 270 panels Monday through Thursday, one-third are about climate change or its direct effects. U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate and Alok Sharma, president of last year's international climate conference COP26, are among the climate leaders expected in the Swiss resort town of Davos.
At the forum’s first in-person gathering in two years, the climate panels are as varied as the issue. They range from combating “eco-anxiety" to helping debt-ridden countries finance a renewable transition. Here's a look at some broader themes that are likely to emerge:
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE
Several panels will wrestle with an approach to investing that considers the environment and other key factors. Known by the acronym ESG, it's become a force, with trillions of dollars invested in companies that meet certain criteria.
When it comes to climate change, ESG can be important. For individual investors all the way up to firms and government agencies that analyze how companies operate, disclosures and public declarations are paramount. They can be the basis of evaluating a company’s emissions, environmental impact and financial risks tied to climate change.
They are also controversial and raise questions: Should certain declarations be mandatory? Should they be standardized and regulated, and by whom? Or has the ESG movement already gone too far, ultimately hindering investment and doing little to rein in greenhouse gas emissions?
Viewpoints sometimes fall along political lines. In the U.S., many Republicans call them “woke,” while many on the left, particularly environmentalists and campaigners, argue that ramping up reporting and transparency could lead to real change.
Many managers of some of the world’s largest mutual funds have argued ESG is essential to evaluate risk. Just last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the approach had “been weaponized by phony social justice warriors.”
ENERGY TRANSITION AND ‘NET ZERO'
The world’s top climate scientists have warned that significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions this decade is necessary to minimize warming and avoid the most devastating effects to the planet. That will require major changes in how business is done, from the way products are produced to how they are transported.
Several panels will look at areas where businesses have successfully transitioned much of their energy portfolio to renewables, the role of finance and government to incentivize or mandate changes, and strategies to keep businesses accountable. Despite heightened consciousness and pledges by businesses, emissions are going up worldwide.
“Moving climate debate from ambition to delivery” is a title of one panel that sums up the enormous challenge.
Sessions will look at sectors, like decarbonizing shipping and aviation, renewable transition plans and the challenges of achieving them in countries like China and India. There will be discussion of strategies to ensure major shifts are inclusive and consider people in historically marginalized countries, which are feeling some of the most intense effects of climate change.
An important current through all the discussions will be identifying what “net zero” is — and isn’t — when looking at pledges from companies and countries. Moving away from fossil fuels like coal and oil to renewables like solar and wind can reduce emissions and get a company closer to goals of taking an equal amount of emissions out of the atmosphere as it puts in.
But a transition to renewables often makes up only a small part of company plans. Many rely on balancing their carbon footprint by investing in forest restoration or other projects. While better than nothing, experts note that depending on carbon offsets doesn’t represent a shift in business practices.
WAR IN UKRAINE AND THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
Russia's war in Ukraine will loom large at the conference. When it comes to climate change, the conflict raises two central questions: How should countries respond to energy shocks from reducing or being cut off from Russian oil and gas? And will the war hasten the transition to renewable energies or help fossil fuel companies maintain the status quo?
Since the war began, there has been no shortage of businesses, environmentalists and political leaders trying to influence the answers to those questions, which will carry over to Davos.
“Energy Security and the European Green Deal” is one panel where participants are expected to argue that the way forward is away from fossil fuels. But European countries, some of which are heavily reliant on Russia for energy, also are scrambling to find other sources of natural gas and oil to meet short-term needs.
While no sessions explicitly make the case for a doubling down on reliance on fossil fuels or expanding extraction or exploration, if the last few months are any guide, those points of view will certainly be present.

This additional flexibility applies to all currently valid, existing flight credits, with no action required by Customers with flight credit in the bank, and will apply to any new flight credit issued. The ability to retain invested flight credits without expiration is another enhancement in a series of transformative upgrades underway in the experience Customers have in their relationship with Southwest, including enhanced WiFi, new in-seat power, larger overhead bins, and new self-service capabilities overviewed at Southwest.com/experience.
"The more than 62,000 People at Southwest share a renewed pride in our unmatched access to flexibility that once again reshapes the landscape of Hospitality and value in the industry," said Bob Jordan, Chief Executive Officer, Southwest Airlines.

Beginning today, July 28, 2022, Southwest Customers will begin seeing a placeholder expiration date of December 31, 2040, on valid flight credits ahead of additional work later this year that will update technology systems to altogether remove expiration dates on flight credits.
"We recently announced more than two billion dollars in Customer experience improvements designed to enhance and simplify traveling with Southwest–and said then, we weren't done," said Ryan Green, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Southwest Airlines. "While other airlines eliminate benefits and value, today we're enhancing our experience again.

"Introducing this change in our policy is part of a massive effort to improve the things that are most important to our Customers."
In May, the carrier began offering a new fare with more benefits, Wanna Get Away Plus™, and enhanced Anytime and Business Select® fares to offer a new ability to transfer flight credits to another Member of the Rapid Rewards® Loyalty program2.

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (AP) — PGA Tour rookie Trevor Cone shot a 9-under 63 on Saturday at rainy Keene Trace to take the third-round lead in the Barbasol Championship.
Cone had a 17-under 199 total for a one-stroke advantage over Lucas Glover and Vincent Norrman in the event co-sanctioned by the European tour.
Cone had a bogey-free round, with the tee times moved up because of the rain.
“We thought the greens might be a tad softer, but early on it wasn’t really raining hard enough for anything to change,” Cone said. “We got to probably 15 and it kind of started deluging, so the greens got a little softer.”
The 30-year-old former Virginia Tech player was 5 under after eight holes.
“Just got rolling,” Cone said. “Just played smart, fairways, greens, not get too aggressive. Just hoped the putter came alive and today it did. Hopefully, it continues tomorrow.”
The 43-year-old Glover, the leader after each of the first two rounds, had a 69 for his 11th straight round in the 60s.
“These young guys aren’t like when I was young. They’re ready to win now, there’s no learning curve anymore,” Glover said. “So, it’s going to be all all of us want tomorrow. It’s going to be a knock-down drag-out and it should be fun.”
The 2009 U.S. Open champion switched to a long putter two weeks ago at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He tied for fourth that week in Detroit and tied for sixth last week in the John Deere Classic.
Norrman, from Sweden, had his second straight 67.
“It was a weird one,” Norrman said. “The weather was awful at times and the sun came out after that. And the golf was pretty good along the way.”
Frenchman Adrien Saddier (67) was 15 under, with England’s Nathan Kimsey (67) and South Africa’s Jayden Schaper (68) at 14 under.
“The weather wasn’t the best,” Saddier said. “Just tried to stay in the moment, to enjoy the position I have on the leaderboard.”

Catalytic converter thefts in Lincoln continue record breaking trend
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Catalytic converter thefts continue to be a big problem in the Capital City.
So far this month, Lincoln Police have taken 97 reports of catalytic converter thefts. LPD said we could see 1,800 converter thefts by the end of the year, which is an 84% increase compared to 2021.
To help address this issue, the Lincoln Police Department has a committee composed of several officers and investigators who are taking proactive measures to combat the continued theft of converters.
On Monday, Lincoln Police arrested four people out of Kansas City who are suspected in several converter thefts and attempted thefts.
Lincoln Police offered these tips to help protect against converter thefts:
1. Know if your vehicle is a likely target. SUV’s and trucks have valuable and more easily removable catalytic converters as one can easily slide underneath. Etch your license plate number or VIN onto your converter. This may help alert a scrap dealer that it may be stolen and makes it easier to identify the owner.
2. Park in well-lit areas, regularly move your vehicle or use a closed garage.
3. Install an anti-theft device.
4. Install motion lights and/or cameras in your parking area.

Officials say the cash prize system provided a return of nearly $909 million to the state for the 2022 fiscal year. That marks both a return to pre-pandemic levels and 81% year-over-year growth.
In that same period, the Oregon Lottery paid out roughly $16 billion to winners. This includes five Oregonians who won over $250,000 dollars, and five who won a million dollars or more.
Beneficiaries of the Oregon Lottery include public schools, state parks, and veteran services.
And 3800 lottery retailers collectively earned $313 million this year.
The Lottery’s financial year runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. A final audited report will be posted to the Oregon Lottery’s website.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Reported sexual assaults at U.S. military academies shot up during the 2021-22 school year, and one in five female students told an anonymous survey that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact, The Associated Press has learned.
U.S. officials said student-reported assaults at the Army, Navy and Air Force academies jumped 18% overall compared with the previous year. The increase was driven largely by the Navy, which had nearly double the number of reported assaults in 2022, compared with 2021. It’s unclear whether the phasing out of COVID-19-related restrictions contributed to the increase, including at the U.S. Naval Academy, which is directly adjacent to bars in downtown Annapolis, Maryland.
A student survey accompanying the report found increases in all types of unwanted sexual contact — from touching to rape — at all the schools. And it cites alcohol as a key factor.
The military services and the academies have struggled for years to combat sexual assault and harassment, with myriad prevention, education and treatment programs. But despite reams of research, and expanded programs, the numbers continue to grow. Young Army soldiers last month dismissed videos and training as outdated, and told service leaders that small group discussions would be more effective.
The increases have triggered outrage on Capitol Hill and a steady stream of legislation. But as yet, the changes have not appeared to make a dent in the problem, although officials argue that expanded assistance programs have encouraged more victims to report the crimes.
According to U.S. officials, 155 students reported assaults during the 2022 school year, compared with 131 the previous year. Of those, students at the U.S. Naval Academy reported 61 — nearly double the school’s total for the previous year, when there were 33, which was by far the lowest of all the academies for that year.
Cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado reported 52, the same as the previous year, and those at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York reported 42, a slight decrease from last year's 46.
Not all of the assaults in the report happened while the students were enrolled in the academies. Because students are encouraged to report assaults, they sometimes will come forward to talk about events that happened in the years before they started school there. As a result, 16 students reported an assault in the 2021-22 school year that occurred prior to joining the military.
As well, 35 cases involved civilians, active-duty service members and prep school students who allegedly were assaulted by someone who was a student. Altogether, the total number of reported assaults with any connection to a student was 206 — about 28% higher than last year’s total of 161.
U.S. officials provided details about the findings on the condition of anonymity because the report had not yet been released. The report was expected to be released later Friday.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a brief dip in cases at the academies during the shortened 2019-20 school year, when in-person classes were canceled and students were sent home in the spring to finish the semester online.
At the start of the 2020-21 school year, students faced a number of restrictions due to the ongoing pandemic. But as those slowly scaled back and bars and restaurants reopened, the numbers began to increase again. Officials said it's hard to tell what, if any, impact COVID-19 had on the 2021 school year.
The Pentagon puts out two reports every year on the number of sexual assaults reported by military academy students and by U.S. service members. But because sexual assault is such an underreported crime, the department also conducts anonymous surveys every two years to get a clearer picture of the problem among both the students and the active duty population. Pentagon leaders believe the survey provides a more accurate depiction of the assaults and the contributing factors.
Based on the surveys, students at the academies are less likely to report an assault than service members who are out of school. Students may worry more about the impact on their military career or even on the career of their attacker.
According to the latest survey of academy students, 21.4% of women said they experienced unwanted sexual contact in the 2022 school year, compared with about 16% in 2018, the last year the survey was done, due to COVID-19 restrictions. For men, the rate went from 2.6% in 2018 to 4.4% in 2022.
Based on the survey, attacks against women were most often by a male who was usually in the same class year and more than half the time knew them from school or other activities. Attacks on men were more often — 55% of the time — by a female who was in the same class year and knew them.
Alcohol use was involved in well more than half of the cases reported in the survey, with a high of 65% at the Naval Academy. The report recommends additional alcohol use policies.
The report also found that sophomores and junior men were most at risk. And women are still far more likely to actually report an assault than men.
Pentagon leaders have for years pushed public campaigns urging students to report any attacks, and they argue that an increase in assault reports suggests that students feel more comfortable coming forward to seek help.
According to the report, the rates of unwanted sexual contact reported in the survey are “at or above civilian rates” based on 2014 and 2018 statistics from the American Association of Universities. No other more recent statistics were available, so it's difficult to accurately compare the military academies with other non-military universities.

SEATTLE (AP) — Most gig workers in Seattle will be permanently entitled to paid sick leave and safe time under a first-in-the-nation law signed by Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell on Wednesday. The measure expands pandemic-era protections and strengthens labor rights for app-based workers.
Seattle previously allowed food delivery workers to accrue paid sick and safe time, but that policy was due to expire May 1, six months after the end of the emergency order imposed by the city during the coronavirus pandemic.
The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to make it permanent for “on-demand” gig workers on apps such as DoorDash, Postmates and Instacart.
“A healthy workforce leads to a healthy community, and no one should have to choose between taking a sick day to care for themselves — or their families — and making rent,” Harrell said.
The measure also expands the categories of workers covered by the policy beyond food delivery, to include those who work for car wash or other apps. Workers who set their own rates, such as those on some pet-sitting apps, will not be covered, however.
Drivers for transportation companies such as Uber and Lyft already earn paid sick and safe time through a state law signed by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee last year.
Seattle in 2012 became one of the first cities to require businesses to provide paid sick leave for gig workers when they have medical appointments or need to help care for a sick relative, and safe leave if they need to care for themselves or a family member because of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault.
The city expanded the law to cover app-based food delivery workers in 2020, citing the danger many were exposing themselves to so they could earn money for rent or other expenses. Some companies failed to comply; Postmates agreed to pay nearly $1 million after denying workers in Seattle sick time.
Making the policy permanent is the latest in a string of victories for labor advocates in the city. The council last spring approved a bill guaranteeing app drivers minimum pay and mileage.
In an emailed statement, Instacart suggested the measure was “misguided.”
“Instacart is willing to work with any policymaker that prioritizes the health and safety of shoppers who choose to earn income through our platform,” it said. “However, at a time of high inflation and tightening household budgets, it is critical that policymakers also take into account the rising financial burden their misguided policy proposals could have on their constituents.”
Nationally, President Joe Biden’s administration has proposed new standards that could make it more difficult to classify millions of workers as independent contractors and deny them minimum wage and benefits.
“I’ve heard from workers on these apps for years that … being forced to work through injuries and sickness was always a huge challenge,” Joel Shapiro, co-founder of the Seattle-based grocery-delivery app Dumpling, told the council. “All workers should have the ability to take sick time when needed, no matter what kind of work they do.”
City Council Member Teresa Mosqueda, who sponsored the measure, thanked the workers for their efforts.
“Our city needs to be taking care of you the way that you’ve taken care of our families,” Mosqueda said before the bill signing. “If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we need to protect workers on the front line, protect their health, because your health is good for the population’s health.”
Under the law, workers will accrue one day of paid sick or safe time for every 30 days they make a work-related stop in Seattle. They would be paid their average daily compensation for each calendar day they worked in Seattle over the previous 12 months.
Maria Hernandez, who has worked for apps delivering food since 2019, testified before the council Tuesday that when she had surgery for breast cancer in 2021, doctors told her to take three months off to prepare for radiation. But she had little money in the bank and returned to work after just one month; her company insisted the paid sick leave was only for COVID-related illness, she said.
“This new permanent law will help create more than a free day for anyone who is sick,” she said. “It will give us tranquility and some peace in our hearts.” | https://wgntv.com/news/national/ap-us-news/most-gig-workers-paid-sick-leave-under-new-seattle-law/ | 2023-03-30 20:15:17 | 0 | https://wgntv.com/news/national/ap-us-news/most-gig-workers-paid-sick-leave-under-new-seattle-law/ |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Republican lawmakers on Tuesday narrowly advanced a plan to ban nearly all abortions in the state, despite opposition from abortion-rights supporters, who say the bill goes too far, and anti-abortion activists, who say it doesn’t go far enough.
Indiana has one of the first Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws since the U.S. Supreme Court last month overturned Roe v. Wade. Its debate comes amid an evolving landscape of abortion politics across the country as Republicans face some party divisions and Democrats see a possible election-year boost.
The U.S. Supreme Court formally issued its judgment Tuesday in the June 24 Dobbs v. Jackson ruling — a step that allows some state trigger laws to ban abortion to take effect.
In Indiana, chants from anti-abortion activists, such as “Let their heart beat,” could be heard inside the Senate chamber as a committee wrapped up two days of testimony during which none of the more than 60 people speaking voiced support for the Republican-sponsored bill. Indiana Right to Life, the state’s most prominent anti-abortion group, organized a rally that drew several hundred protesters to the Statehouse, and the group’s president, Mike Fichter, warned that conservative lawmakers need to act or explain themselves to voters in November.
A national poll taken this month found overwhelming majorities believe their state should generally allow abortion in specific cases, including if a pregnant woman’s life is endangered or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. Few think abortion should always be illegal, according to The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.
Indiana’s measure would prohibit abortions from the time a fertilized egg implants in a uterus with limited exceptions — in cases of rape, incest and to protect the mother’s life. Abortion-rights supporters object to the bill’s tighter restrictions on the procedure, while abortion opponents say it’s too lenient with its exceptions and lacks enforcement teeth.
A top legislative Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mark Messmer, voted against the measure, lamenting the “near impossibility of threading the perfect needle” on the issue during a short special legislative session that GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb originally called to address a tax rebate plan. He has not said whether he supports the abortion ban that’s being discussed.
In West Virginia, the Republican-dominated Legislature rejected for the second time in two days efforts by Democrats to add exceptions for rape and incest victims to a bill banning abortion in almost all cases. It would make performing the procedure a felony punishable by three to 10 years in prison.
The Indiana proposal followed a political firestorm over a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to the state from neighboring Ohio to end a pregnancy. The case gained attention when an Indianapolis doctor said the child had to come to Indiana because a newly imposed Ohio law bans abortions if cardiac activity can be detected in an embryo or fetus, possibly as early as six weeks of pregnancy.
Such abortions would still be allowed under the Indiana proposal, though lawmakers voted Tuesday to limit how long rape and incest victims have. Those 16 or older could get an abortion until eight weeks of pregnancy, while people younger than 16 would have until 12 weeks.
The committee voted 7-5 in favor of the ban after also adding provisions under which doctors could face felony criminal charges and up to six years in prison for performing an illegal abortion. That’s the same potential penalty for performing abortions under Indiana’s current 20-week ban.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which has sued over previous abortion restrictions, said the ban would endanger women.
“Indiana legislators are putting the health and safety of Hoosier women at risk, and again surrendering to the demands of a small group of anti-abortion extremists,” said Katie Blair, the organization’s advocacy director.
Cathie Humbarger, a longtime leader of the Fort Wayne-based Right to Life chapter, also opposes the bill — for very different reasons.
“It is totally unenforceable and as such renders it basically worthless,” Humbarger told the committee. “You can, and must, do better.”
More amendments to the bill could be debated by the full Senate on Thursday.
Indiana Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said lawmakers were struggling to deal with issues they hadn’t faced before Roe v. Wade was overturned.
“We’re working in earnest to try and find a path forward, listening to everybody that’s out there,” Bray said.
Elsewhere Tuesday, a South Carolina judge denied a request to temporarily block enforcement of that state’s six-week abortion ban. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and other plaintiffs had asked the judge for an injunction while courts determine whether the law violates the state constitution.
And in Louisiana, a judge rejected a request from state officials to lift his order blocking a ban while they pursue an appeal. That means abortions remain accessible in that state.

Cloud-connected Food Lockers Streamlines Food Deliveries While Elevating the Delivery Experience for Residents
SEATTLE, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Minnow Technologies ("Minnow"), a Seattle-based IoT startup, and Westdale Real Estate Investment and Management ("Westdale"), a national real estate investment and management company headquartered in Dallas, announced today that Westdale has deployed Minnow's contactless food lockers (called "Pickup Pods") at five of its multifamily properties in Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
"We're excited to partner with Westdale to provide their residents with a world-class food delivery experience. Having a Top 50 NMHC Owner/Manager install Pickup Pods across an entire region of the country will help create awareness of Minnow and our mission to make food delivery as efficient, reliable, and convenient as package delivery," said Steven Sperry, Co-Founder, and CEO of Minnow.
Westdale partners with renowned designers and contractors to build and deliver exceptional assets that positively contribute to the lives of their residents. The company continuously strives to make its properties stand out from the competition. Adding a contactless food delivery amenity like the Pickup Pod will further differentiate Westdale's properties by making residents' food deliveries safer, more secure, and more convenient.
Minnow's intelligent food lockers make food delivery and pickup consistent and reliable, every time. Instead of waiting in the lobby or searching for residents' units, food delivery workers drop off orders at the Pickup Pod. This enables them to complete the delivery faster while reducing delivery traffic throughout the property. And residents can pick up at their convenience, knowing their food is kept in a secure, insulated cubby. To help ensure food safety, the Pickup Pod tracks and monitors every delivery, alerting building staff when food isn't picked up within a specified time.
"We're excited to utilize Minnow Pickup Pods in our mid-rise buildings. We expect this to be very popular with residents and to solve food delivery issues. It will also help minimize traffic in our resident corridors and common areas," said Elizabeth Heller, Vice President, Regional Director at Westdale Asset Management. Unlike drop-off tables or leaving deliveries with a concierge, the Pickup Pod tracks and monitors every food delivery while enhancing building security, reducing demands on building staff, and eliminating lobby clutter.
And unlike package lockers, the Pickup Pod is designed for short-term food storage. The Pickup Pod is UL-certified for food safety and comes with insulated cubbies, anti-microbial surfaces, and 24x7 monitoring to help ensure food freshness and safety. It takes up less than four square feet of floor space and can be installed in under 30 minutes. Pickup Pod can go almost anywhere and requires only a standard 120V electrical outlet and a WiFi or cellular connection. And it can accept deliveries from any food delivery service, ghost kitchen, restaurant, or catering company. Today, Pickup Pods streamlines food deliveries in multifamily properties, office buildings, hospitals, universities, corporate campuses, and other places where food is delivered.
Westdale owns a stellar reputation in all disciplines of the multifamily and commercial real estate sectors. Founded in 1991, the privately held company fosters an entrepreneurial spirit with flexible and responsive capital resources enabling adaptive, creative, and opportunistic acquisitions, value-add, core-plus, and suburban in any phase of the economic cycle.
Founded in 2017, Minnow's contactless food lockers (called "Pickup Pods") provide a better way to manage food deliveries. With a sleek, modern design and a small footprint, Pickup Pods are perfect for office buildings, multifamily properties, universities, hospitals, and other places where food is delivered.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — A representative of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday handed a set of diamond jewelry he received during his presidency over to a state bank, as ordered by a government watchdog amid an investigation into the gifts.
Federal police and prosecutors are investigating whether the goods brought into the country from Saudi Arabia were public gifts that Bolsonaro improperly tried to prevent from being incorporated into the presidency’s public collection, or private gifts that Bolsonaro tried sneak into Brazil without paying taxes.
The Senate’s transparency commission also is investigating whether the sale of a refinery by Brazil’s state-controlled oil giant was related to the jewels.
The state bank Caixa Economica Federal received the box of precious stones Friday at one of its branches in capital Brasilia, the bank’s press office told The Associated Press. A representative also turned in firearms Bolsonaro received as a gift from authorities in the United Arab Emirates, according to the federal police’s press office.
A federal watchdog on Wednesday had given Bolsonaro five days to hand over the precious stones and guns that he had received while president.
Brazilian media started reporting on the set of jewels earlier this month, along with another set that was seized earlier at the international airport in Sao Paulo. The confiscated set, composed of earrings, a necklace, a ring and a watch by Swiss brand Chopard, is estimated to be worth several million dollars. Neither set was declared to tax authorities.
Documents and video footage published by local press appear to show supposed emissaries of Bolsonaro making multiple unsuccessful attempts to retrieve the seized jewelry, up until just days before the end of his presidency.
Bolsonaro, who denies any wrongdoing connected to the gifts, has been in the United States since late-December, just days before the end of his presidential term.
The gifts add to the legal jeopardy already surrounding the right-wing populist politician. He is also under investigation for any involvement in a rampage by his supporters through the national capital after he left office and for numerous actions during the presidential election campaign he lost last fall. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/brazils-bolsonaro-turns-in-undeclared-jewels-to-authorities/ | 2023-03-25 13:47:29 | 1 | https://www.kxnet.com/news/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/brazils-bolsonaro-turns-in-undeclared-jewels-to-authorities/ |
A Connecticut court issued a second 55-year prison sentence to a man who attacked two people with a samurai sword, killing one and severely injuring the other.
It's the second sentence — and identical in length — for Peter Manfredonia, 26, who also fatally shot a man and kidnapped his girlfriend before leading police on a six-day manhunt across several states in 2020.
Manfredonia was a senior studying finance and mechanical engineering at the University of Connecticut when he "just flipped," according to his arrest warrant, and fatally struck 62-year-old Theodore DeMers with a sword on May 22, 2020 outside the man's home in Wilmington, Conn.
Manfredonia then attacked the man who came to DeMers' rescue, John Franco, who was 80 years old at the time, leaving him with severe injuries to his hands, neck and head.
Manfredonia broke into a nearby home and took a third man hostage for 24 hours. A day later, he drove across the state to Derby and fatally shot a former classmate and kidnapped that classmate's girlfriend. He let her go, physically unharmed, at a rest stop in New Jersey.
After a six-day search, police arrested Manfredonia at a truck stop in Hagerstown, Md., without incident.
On Wednesday, the defendant was sentenced to 55 years in prison for the second killing and the kidnapping. On Thursday, he was sentenced to an additional 55 years in prison for the sword attacks, court documents show.
Between the two cases, Manfredonia pleaded guilty to five counts of murder, assault, kidnapping and home invasion. Both of his sentences will run concurrently, and he agreed not to seek early release as part of his plea bargains, The Associated Press reports.
The victims and their families in both cases agreed to the plea bargain after months of discussion, according to reporting from Connecticut Public Radio.
This weeks' sentencing hearings came with several days of emotional testimony from victims and eyewitnesses.
Cindy DeMers, the widow of the man killed by samurai sword, told the court she believed her husband's killer deserved the death penalty, even though Connecticut outlawed capital punishment in 2016.
"It was like being in a war zone," she said, according to the Associated Press. "All I could focus on was reassuring Ted that he was going to be OK and we would put his body back together. We will get through this. We had gotten through so much together up until this point.
"He was still alive when he was taken away, but he never came home," she added. "My husband's life was stolen from him viciously. Life as I knew it [was] stolen from me. My world as I knew it came to an end."
State Attorney Matthew Gedansky said that Manfredonia was in DeMers' neighborhood because he planned to kill his ex-girlfriend, who lived nearby, the AP reported. Michael Dolan, the defendant's lawyer, said his client has bipolar disease and anxiety and was actually planning to commit suicide in front of the woman as part of a psychotic episode.
Witnesses said DeMers thought Manfredonia had crashed his motorcycle and was offering to help when he was attacked, according to several media accounts of the trial.
Manfredonia apologized twice in court this week, directing separate comments to each of the victims and their families.

BRUSSELS – European Union lawmakers stepped up the fight against global warming Wednesday by requiring deeper emission cuts from power plants, factories and planes in the EU and by endorsing an unprecedented import tax.
The European Parliament advanced draft climate legislation that would slash the EU greenhouse gases by at least 55% in 2030 compared with 1990 rather than by a previously agreed 40%.
The legislation also includes a tool that would allow the EU to raise the prices of some imported goods -- including steel and aluminum -- that are spared the climate-protection costs faced by manufacturers in the 27-nation bloc.
The overall goal is to put the EU on track to become climate-neutral in 2050 and to prod other major polluters, including the United States and China, to follow suit.
Final approval of the legislative package, which has been on the table since July 2021, would require the European Parliament to iron out differences with the bloc’s national governments over various details, a process likely to last several more months.
“We are doing a big step for the climate,” German lawmaker Peter Liese, who helped steer the package through the EU assembly in Brussels, said. “We are doing the right thing.”
The EU is seeking to maintain a leadership role in the worldwide battle against the increasingly frequent and intense heat waves, storms and floods caused by global warming. A key United Nations climate conference is scheduled for November in Egypt.
The more ambitious EU climate legislation is part of a clean-energy push that has gained political momentum as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the bloc pledging to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels no later than 2027.
The EU has agreed to ban imports of Russian coal starting in August and to impose an embargo on most oil from Russia gradually over the coming eight months. Meanwhile, Russia has reduced natural-gas supplies to five European countries, including Germany and Italy, and cut off deliveries to six EU member nations.
The tougher EU climate targets have raised concerns about further energy price increases, which have sent inflation skyrocketing and prompted the European Central Bank to commit to raising interest rates for the first time in 11 years starting next month.
In this context, the European Parliament also endorsed the creation of a fund to help vulnerable households cope with the planned energy revamp.
Two weeks ago, the 705-seat assembly approved deeper cuts in carbon dioxide from cars, including an EU ban in 2035 on the sale of new cars with combustion engines.
The Parliament is expected to vote later this year on more ambitious bloc-wide targets for developing renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power.

HURON, Calif. (KFSN) -- Huron police are looking for the person or people who fired into a mother's car with her 1-year-old inside, nearly striking both of them.
The shooting happened on Wednesday around 10 p.m. at the intersection of M and 9th streets.
Officers say the mother was stopped at a stop sign when someone fired multiple rounds at the car.
One of the rounds hit the headrest of the driver's seat where the mother was sitting, narrowly missing her.
Police say, fortunately, no one was hurt.
Investigators believe this is a gang-related shooting but say the mother was not the intended target and does not have gang ties.
No witnesses called to report the shooting, but officers found shell casings next to a parked vehicle at the intersection the following morning.
It is unknown if there were multiple shooters, and no suspect descriptions have been released. | https://abc30.com/huron-police-mother-shot-at-vehicle-struck-baby-inside/12722492/ | 2023-01-21 03:11:28 | 0 | https://abc30.com/huron-police-mother-shot-at-vehicle-struck-baby-inside/12722492/ |
Members Helping MillionsSM Initiative with Feeding America® Kicks Off the Season of Giving
GREENSBORO, N.C., Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fresh Market is inviting its one million plus Ultimate Loyalty Experience members to help make a difference this Black Friday weekend by participating in the Members Helping MillionsSM Initiative —with the goal of helping to provide over one million meals* to people in need this holiday season.

The First Way: Ultimate Loyalty Experience members who shop along with other Loyalty Members will contribute to how much The Fresh Market will donate.

- 1 million Members shopping will help provide = 1,000,000 meals!
The Second Way: For every $100 spent by Loyalty Members on The Fresh Market gift cards, the specialty retailer will donate $10 which is enough to help provide 100 meals to Feeding America.
"Our guests have shown us their generosity whenever we include them in our fundraising efforts," stated Kevin Miller, Chief Marketing Officer at The Fresh Market.

The mother of Buster Murdaugh's high school classmate, Stephen Smith, who died in 2015 just miles from Alex Murdaugh's South Carolina hunting property, said she has raised enough money to exhume her son's body.
The 19-year-old was killed in what police initially described as a hit-and-run not far from the Murdaughs' Islandton hunting property called Moselle, where Alex fatally shot his wife, Maggie, and his youngest son, Paul, on June 7, 2021.
"We feel it's critical to seek a new goal - an independent exhumation and autopsy - and we're launching Justice for Stephen N. Smith with that immediate goal in mind," Smith's mother, Sandy Smith, wrote on a GoFundMe page titled "Independent Exhumation and Autopsy" that raised more than $40,000.
Smith recently told WYFF that the funds were enough to move forward with an exhumation.
ALEX MURDAUGH FALLOUT: MOTHER OF BUSTER MURDAUGH'S DECEASED HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE SEEKS INDEPENDENT AUTOPSY
"They said he was shot in the head. And then it turned out it was a hit-and-run and then he was beat up, so the story just kept changing," Smith told the outlet. "…When they told me hit-and-run, I said, ‘That’s impossible,' because Stephen wouldn't have been walking down the road. … He would've cut through the woods."
ALEX MURDAUGH FALLOUT: DEATH OF BUSTER MURDAUGH'S HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE BACK IN SPOTLIGHT AFTER VERDICT
In a Thursday update to her GoFundMe page, Smith said her family "will pursue the exhumation immediately and provide updates along the way."
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has reopened an investigation into Smith's death.
"SLED has made progress in the death investigation of Stephen Smith, however this investigation remains active and ongoing," SLED told Fox News Digital in a statement.
PUBLIC DEMANDS ANSWERS IN SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF BUSTER MURDAUGH'S CLASSMATE AFTER FATHER ALEX'S CONVICTION
Attorney Eric Bland, who represents the children of the Murdaughs' late housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield — who died at the Murdaugh's Moselle home in an apparent 2018 fall — described the Murdaugh family's "long-rumored involvement" in Smith's death on "Fox & Friends" earlier this month.
"He was found in the middle of a country road in Hampton County, and … the highway department said he was hit by a car, but there was no broken glass, no car parts," Bland told co-host Pete Hegseth. "His clothes were intact, his shoes were on, and he had… a clear head trauma injury that looked like it was done by something other than a car."
ALEX MURDAUGH: TIMELINE OF ONCE-POWERFUL SOUTH CAROLINA LAWYER'S SPECTACULAR DOWNFALL
Alex Murdaugh "supposedly showed up on the accident scene, and according to [Smith's mother, Sandy], she received a telephone call from him where he offered to represent her, and she was very confused as to why she would need representation," Bland continued.
Prosecutors say Murdaugh secured $4.3 million in insurance settlements for Satterfield's family after her death, but the former attorney kept the money for himself, never alerting the family that he had secured a payout.
On March 2, a Colleton County jury found Alex Murdaugh guilty in the 2021 murders of his wife and son at Moselle, prompting suspicion about Smith's mysterious death.
Prosecutors say the disgraced lawyer killed his wife and son in an effort to divert attention away from his mounting alleged financial crimes. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/alex-murdaugh-fallout-mother-of-dead-buster-murdaugh-classmate-stephen-smith-to-exhume-body/article_4d971452-8b16-56b8-94a8-7081c949e87f.html | 2023-03-17 19:37:46 | 0 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/alex-murdaugh-fallout-mother-of-dead-buster-murdaugh-classmate-stephen-smith-to-exhume-body/article_4d971452-8b16-56b8-94a8-7081c949e87f.html |

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Six people are recovering Saturday after being shot outside an uptown neighborhood bar in New Orleans when a motorist drove past and sprayed bullets into the crowd.
Each of the victims — four women and two men — was hit late Friday in the lower part of the body, authorities said. At least two of the women were hit in the leg.
The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported that customers told investigators someone in a black car had passed and fired about 50 shots.
Emergency Medical Services took the four women, between the ages of 23 and 35, to a hospital. The two men, ages 27 and 23, made it to a hospital on their own. Their conditions were not known Saturday.
Police said they were called to the Balcony Bar at 10:17 p.m., and determined that two groups of people had exchanged gunfire.
A Balcony employee said Saturday it had been a typical Friday night crowd, mostly local residents and college students. As the gunfire began, everyone was a bit confused, he said.
Another woman was walking from another bar to the Balcony when she heard gunshots. She said she quickly grabbed her friends, out-of-town visitors who suspected only fireworks, and they all ran in the other direction to hide behind a metal trash bin.
“I didn’t know if they were coming back to finish up the job,” she said of the shooters. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/6-shot-outside-uptown-New-Orleans-bar-17138823.php | 2022-04-30 17:58:53 | 1 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/6-shot-outside-uptown-New-Orleans-bar-17138823.php |
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Treasurer Sarah Godlewski dropped out of the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary Friday, the third candidate to bow out this week, making Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes the clear frontrunner to face Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.
The race in battleground Wisconsin, which Donald Trump narrowly won in 2016 but lost by a nearly equal number of votes in 2020, could determine which party holds majority control in the 50-50 Senate. Johnson, who had not commented on the two other drop-outs, weighed in after Godlewski left the race.
“Showing their lack of respect for voters and the democratic process, the power brokers of the Democrat party have now cleared the field for their most radical left candidate,” Johnson tweeted. “Socialist policies have produced this mess, & a radical left Senator from Wisconsin is not the solution.”
Barnes, 35, would become the first Black senator from Wisconsin if elected. He served two terms in the state Legislature before being elected lieutenant governor in 2018. Barnes opted against seeking a second term with Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to instead run for Senate.
Godlewski’s decision to leave the race came after Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson dropped out Monday and Barnes’ top rival, Alex Lasry, followed suit Wednesday. Godlewski and Nelson had been trailing Barnes and Lasry by double digits in public polling.
“It’s clear that if we want to finally send Ron Johnson packing, we must all get behind Mandela Barnes and fight together,” Godlewski said.
Several lower-tier candidates who were polling in the low single digits remain in the Aug. 9 primary, and even those who dropped out will still be on the ballot. In-person absentee voting began this week.
Barnes has emphasized his middle class upbringing as the son of a public school teacher and factory worker, both union members. Barnes paid no income tax and was on the state’s Medicaid program while running for lieutenant governor in 2018.
He has secured some big-name liberal endorsements in the primary, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Godlewski, the only woman in the race, had made fighting for abortion rights the center of her campaign. But she said she was ending her candidacy and backing Barnes because it would help the overriding goal of knocking off Johnson, a two-term incumbent and close ally of Trump.
Barnes, who was scheduled to appear with Godlewski later Friday, said her decision put Democrats in a stronger position to defeat Johnson in November.
“This week has demonstrated what it looks like when we come together for a goal that is greater than ourselves,” Barnes said in a statement. “We are building a coalition that crosses generations, crosses racial divides and political divides. A coalition that includes farmers, union leaders, teachers, small business owners, and working people all across this state.” | https://who13.com/news/politics/ap-politics/3rd-wisconsin-dem-us-senate-candidate-bows-out-backs-barnes/ | 2022-07-29 17:41:55 | 1 | https://who13.com/news/politics/ap-politics/3rd-wisconsin-dem-us-senate-candidate-bows-out-backs-barnes/ |
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — A gunman killed two people at a construction site in Auckland, New Zealand, on Thursday as the nation prepared to host games in the FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament. The shooter was also dead, and authorities said a police officer and four civilians were injured.
The shooting happened near hotels where Team Norway and other soccer teams have been staying. Police said the male officer was taken to a hospital in critical condition and had stabilized. The others had injuries ranging from moderate to critical, but it wasn’t immediately clear how they were injured.
New Zealand Prime Minster Chris Hipkins said the tournament would go ahead as planned.
“Clearly with the FIFA World Cup kicking off this evening, there are a lot of eyes on Auckland,” Hipkins said. “The government has spoken to FIFA organizers this morning and the tournament will proceed as planned.”
“I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat. This appears to be the action of one individual.”
Hipkins said the shooter was armed with a pump-action shotgun. Police arrived one minute after the first emergency call and ran into harm’s way to save lives, he said.
“These kinds of situations move fast and the actions of those who risk their lives to save others are nothing short of heroic,” Hipkins said.
Acting Police Superintendent Sunny Patel said the man began shooting at the site on lower Queen Street at about 7:20 a.m. Police swarmed the area.
The man moved through the building, firing at people there, Patel said.
“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,” Patel said in a statement. “Further shots were fired from the male and he was located deceased a short time later.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if police shot the gunman or he killed himself.
Outside, armed police officers had the commercial business district on heavy lockdown with streets cordoned off surrounding the tourist harbor ferry terminal area. Police demanded bystanders disperse and ordered people inside their office buildings to shelter in place.
The incident comes as soccer teams and fans gathered in New Zealand for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The opening match is scheduled for Thursday between New Zealand and Norway. Hipkins said he was reviewing whether he’d attend the match as planned.
Team Norway captain Maren Mjelde said teammates woke up quickly when a helicopter began hovering outside the hotel window.
“We felt safe the whole time,” she said in a statement. “FIFA has a good security system at the hotel, and we have our own security officer in the squad. Everyone seems calm and we are preparing as normal for the game tonight.”
Team USA said all its players and staff were accounted for and safe. It said the team was in communication with local authorities and proceeding with its daily schedule.
New Zealand banned assault weapons in 2019, weeks after a gunman slaughtered 51 people at two mosques in the city of Christchurch during the nation’s worst mass shooting.
A subsequent buyback scheme saw gun owners hand over more than 50,000 AR-15-style rifles and other assault weapons to police.
The ban does not include all semi-automatic weapons. Hipkins said it wasn’t immediately clear if the weapon the gunman used would have been covered by the ban.
Officials at Eden Park, where the opening match is taking place, said they were encouraging ticket holders to arrive early and there would be an increased security presence at the venue.
Tourism New Zealand canceled a media welcome party that was to have been held Thursday afternoon at a location within the cordoned-off area.

Report: Broncos reach out to Michigan's Jim Harbaugh about head-coaching job
The end of Michigan’s football season can mean only one thing: Jim Harbaugh’s name circulating in NFL circles regarding head-coaching vacancies.
According to a sourced report Sunday night by Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Denver Broncos have reached out to Harbaugh about talking to him about their vacancy. The Broncos fired first-year coach Nathaniel Hackett last week.
Harbaugh, who recently turned 59, saw Michigan’s season end last Saturday night in a 51-45 loss to TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinal. He is now 1-6 in bowl games. The Wolverines finished 13-1 and have gone 25-3 the last two seasons.
But since Harbaugh became head coach of his alma mater before the 2015 season after spending four seasons as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, his name has come up every year in NFL coaching speculation
A year ago, Harbaugh, who said he still had the Super Bowl itch after falling short while coaching San Francisco against his brother John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens after the 2012 season, flew to Minnesota to interview. He left without an offer and pledged himself to coaching Michigan and agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Wolverines. The buyout portion of the contract indicates if Harbaugh left early in 2023, he would owe Michigan $2.25 million.
"I will be back enthusiastically coaching the Wolverines in 2023," Harbaugh said in a Fiesta Bowl conference call with reporters early last month. But he then left the door slightly open.
“No man knows the future,” said Harbaugh, who compiled a 44-19-1 regular-season record in four seasons in San Francisco (2011-14). “I can't make any vows of what's going to happen or what's not going to happen.”
Michigan has made the College Football Playoff each of the last two seasons and likely will be a strong contender next season with the return of quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

With the attention on student loan forgiveness right now, a small but growing number of companies are adding or considering adding student loan assistance as a benefit for their workers.
Some are offering student debt consolidation plans for people to get a better interest rate. But once that is done, the loan privatized and not eligible for future debt forgiveness or payment pauses from the federal government.
Other companies are offering monthly contributions toward the loan balance or matching what workers pay.
“They've shown that it's actually been more important for retention by having this particular program giving them money exactly to pay off their student loans and only that, as opposed to just increasing their wages,” said Craig Copeland, director of wealth benefits research at the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
He said there was a lot of interest in student loan benefits before the pandemic. COVID-19 put them on hold, but there's more focus on these benefits again.
Part of what is helping is legislative changes by Congress during the pandemic giving employers a tax break in some cases by offering student loan assistance benefits.
But it's not clear how long the tax break will last. Copeland said there are other unknowns.
“The people that are older,” he said, “they've already paid off their student loans or don't have kids. They're not happy about this, so it's created some type of issues within the workforce. So employers are having to tread that carefully.”
He said some companies are addressing this by adding college savings account options instead. | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/more-employers-adding-student-loan-payments-as-a-job-benefit | 2022-10-20 19:00:59 | 1 | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/more-employers-adding-student-loan-payments-as-a-job-benefit |
Wisconsin Secretary of State La Follette resigns; governor appoints Godlewski
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin’s Democratic Secretary of State Doug La Follette resigned on Friday, three months into his 11th consecutive term in office.
Gov. Tony Evers appointed former Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, who ran for U.S. Senate last year but lost in the primary, to fill out the four-year term. Wisconsin’s secretary of state is not in charge of elections and has almost no official duties.
La Follette, 82, won reelection in November over a Republican who wanted to shift election duties to the office.
La Follette - a distant relative of “Fighting” Bob La Follette, a progressive governor and 1924 presidential candidate - was first elected secretary of state in 1974. After a failed try for lieutenant governor in 1978, he won the office in 1982 and has won reelection nine times.
Republicans have gradually stripped the office of almost all its duties and staff and relegated La Follette to a cramped office in the Capitol basement. However, since the 2020 presidential election, Republicans have been mulling shifting oversight of elections to the secretary of state. The office hasn’t played a role in Wisconsin elections since 1974.

Real Columbus Wedding: Alicia and Jon Orlando
A perfect alignment of work-related events led to happily ever after.
March 12, 2022 | Most of us return from a week of business travel ready to put our feet up and relax in peace in our home. When Jon Orlando dropped his briefcase at the door in December 2013, he instead ended up hanging out with his roommate, Doug, and several of his friends, one of whom was Alicia Huber. She wondered how they hadn’t yet met, given the webs of their friend group, but the delayed meeting didn’t prove to be a barrier.
Nor was the fact that Jon was scheduled to temporarily move to Thailand for work a month after their meeting. As fate would have it, he was reassigned from that project to one in Marysville, and he and Alicia’s love “was able to blossom in the same time zone,” says Alicia, now Alicia Orlando.
“Two apartments, a house, three cats and hundreds of cut-throat chess and tennis matches” later, she continues, Jon proposed in their home on Memorial day 2021. Less than a year later, they were wed in a ceremony and reception that focused heavily on guest flow and comfort.
Singer Siydney McSweeney serenaded during the ceremony and cocktail hour, with Train’s “Marry Me” accompanying Jon and the wedding party down the aisle; Alicia and her parents processed to “I Like Me Better,” by Lauv. Among the most memorable moments of the day, Alicia says, was the special memories and wel-wishes with the wedding party just before being introduced at the reception.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii following their big day.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, at the time of filing the Registration Statement and Prospectus, defendants either knew or had access to adverse information concerning operations of the WarnerMedia business of AT&T. Among other things, as subsequently disclosed by defendants after the merger: (1) WarnerMedia's HBO Max streaming business had a high churn rate that made the business not "viable" unless the churn rate was reversed; (2) AT&T was overinvesting in WarnerMedia entertainment content for streaming, without sufficient concern for return on investments; (3) WarnerMedia had a business model to grow the number of subscribers to its streaming service without regard to cost or profitability; (4) WarnerMedia was improvidently concentrating its investments in streaming and ignoring its other business lines; and (5) WarnerMedia had overstated the number of subscribers to HBO Max by as many as 10 million subscribers, by including as subscribers AT&T customers who had received bundled access to HBO Max, but had not signed onto the service. The adverse information was not disclosed to Discovery shareholders in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or otherwise prior to the effective date of the merger. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — An election year that unfolded against the backdrop of economic turmoil, the elimination of federal abortion rights and broad concerns about the future of democracy is concluding with a final full day of campaigning in which leaders of both parties will issue urgent appeals to their supporters.
President Joe Biden is holding a Monday evening rally in Maryland, where Democrats have one of their best opportunities to reclaim a Republican-held governor’s seat. The appearance is in line with Biden’s late-campaign strategy of sticking largely to Democratic strongholds rather than stumping in more competitive territory, where control of Congress may ultimately be decided.
His predecessor, former President Donald Trump, will hold his final rally of the campaign in Ohio. As he readies another run for the White House, Ohio holds special meaning for the former president because it was one of the first places where he was able to prove his enduring power among Republican voters. His backing of JD Vance was crucial in helping the author and venture capitalist — and onetime Trump critic — secure the GOP’s nomination for a Senate seat.
With more than 41 million ballots already cast, Monday’s focus will be ensuring that supporters either meet early voting deadlines or make plans to show up in person on Tuesday. The results will have a powerful impact on the final two years of Biden’s presidency, shaping policy on everything from government spending to military support for Ukraine.
In the first national election since the violent Jan. 6 insurrection, the final days of the campaign focused on fundamental questions about the nation’s political values.
Campaigning in New York for Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday, Biden said Republicans were willing to condone last year’s mob attack at the Capitol and that, after the recent assault of Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, some in that party made “light of it” or were “making excuses.”
“There’s never been a time in my career where we’ve glorified violence based on a political preference,” the president said.
Meanwhile, a Sunday evening Trump rally in Miami, a reference to Nancy Pelosi prompted changes of “Lock her up!” — a stark reminder of the nation’s deep divide.
Trump was campaigning for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s reelection, but also focused on his own political future. After telling a crowd in Iowa last week that he’s “very, very, very probably” going to run for president again, he again teased the possibility on Sunday and encouraged supporters to watch his Ohio rally.
“I will probably have to do it again, but stay tuned,” Trump said, teasing the Monday event. “We have a big, big rally. Stay tuned for tomorrow night.”
Not attending the Miami event was Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, who is running for reelection against Democrat Charlie Crist and is widely considered Trump’s most formidable challenger if he also were to get into the White House race.
DeSantis held his own, separate events Sunday in other parts of the state where he stuck to the centerpieces of his reelection campaign, including railing against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The governor’s counter political programing avoided antagonizing Trump — meaning it didn’t deliver the dueling 2024 events that could be in his and Trump’s near future.
Trump said Sunday that Florida would “reelect Ron DeSantis as your governor.” But he was more confrontational during a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, referring to Florida’s governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
It’s a rivalry that’s been simmering for more than a year as DeSantis has taken increasingly bold steps to boost his national profile and build a deep fundraising network — even as Trump remains unquestionably the party’s most popular leader.
For national Democrats, meanwhile, the focus is on their narrow control of the House and Senate, which could evaporate after Tuesday.
Voters may rebuke the party controlling the White House and Congress amid surging inflation, concerns about crime and pessimism about the direction of the country. History suggests the party in power will suffer significant losses in the midterms.
Biden has made the case that the nation’s very democracy is on the ballot and the first lady went to Texas on Sunday to sound a similar alarm.
“So much is at stake in this election,” Jill Biden said in Houston. “We must speak up on justice and democracy.”
Traveling in Chicago Vice President Kamala Harris said, “These attacks on our democracy will not only directly impact the people around our country, but arguably around the world.”
Trump has long falsely claimed he lost the 2020 election only because Democrats cheated and has even begun raising the possibility of election fraud this year. Federal intelligence agencies are warning of the possibility of political violence from far-right extremists.
Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, said Democrats were “inflation deniers,” trying to deflect the other side’s branding of her party as anti-democracy for rejecting the results of 2020’s free and fair presidential election simply because Trump lost it.
“If we win back the House and the Senate, it’s the American people saying to Joe Biden, we want you to work on behalf of us and we want you to work across the aisle to solve the problems that we are dealing with,” McDaniel told CNN.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Even after three months of captivity that included execution threats, physical torture, solitary confinement and food deprivation, it was the ride to freedom that nearly broke Alex Drueke, a U.S. military veteran released last week with nine other prisoners who went to help Ukraine fight off Russian invaders.
His hands were bound. His head was covered by a plastic bag, and the packing tape holding it in place was secured so tightly it it caused welts on his forehead. Drueke said he and fellow American prisoner Andy Huynh reached their limit in this state during the transit, which occurred in a series of vehicles from eastern Ukraine to an airport in Russia that was surrounded by armed guards.
“For all we went through and all the times we thought we might die, we accepted that we might die, we were ready to die when it came, that ride was the only time that each of us independently prayed for death just to get it over with,” Drueke told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.
“The mental and emotional torture of those last 24 hours in captivity, that was the worst,” he said.
Drueke, 40, is healing: The swelling is going down on his head and he’s trying to regain some of the 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) he figures he lost eating a poor diet. But awful memories remain, and he’s unsure what comes next aside from trying to focus attention on fellow prisoners who remain in Russian hands.
“The war has not ended,” he said, speaking at the home he shares with his mother and other relatives in Tuscaloosa.
Drueke and Huynh, a 27-year-old fellow military veteran from Alabama, were among hundreds of Americans who went to Ukraine early on to help in the fight against Russia.
On June 9, they were captured during what Drueke described as a reconnaissance mission associated with Ukraine’s international legion, composed of foreign volunteers.
“Everyone else managed to make it back to the base safe,” he said.
Russian soldiers took the two men to their camp, and then into Russia for “intensive interrogation.” While declining to go into specifics, Drueke said the treatment was brutal.
“Every one of our human rights were violated,” he said. “We were tortured.”
The men were taken back to Ukraine to a “black site” in Donetsk for nearly a month of additional interrogation, he said. They were eventually taken to an isolation cellblock within a former Ukrainian prison. There, Drueke and Huynh were forced to record propaganda statements for a Russian video camera with soldiers in the room.
“On the positive side, there were times they would put us in a closet, bound and blindfolded, … while they were waiting for whatever reporter to show up, and it gave Andy and I just a few seconds to whisper things back and forth to check in on each other,” he said. “It was the first time we had talked in weeks at that point.”
Eventually, after weeks of confinement that included multiple threats, it became apparent that something — either a release, a prison transfer or execution — was in the works, said Drueke, who joined the U.S. Army Reserve after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and served two tours in Iraq.
“We knew something was happening because our normal routine was being skewed and they were having us clear all of our personal stuff out of the cell,” he said.
But even then, the mental torture continued, he said. “One of the guards said a couple of times, ‘I’m pretty sure you guys are getting executed,’” he said.
Instead, they were part of a group of 10 men who were released Sept. 21 in a deal brokered by Saudi Arabia. The others who were released with them were from Croatia, Morocco, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
No one relaxed until the plane was in the air and an official from Saudi Arabia explained what was happening, he said. Landing in New York after a flight from Saudi Arabia, Drueke said he and Huynh were met by a Homeland Security official from an office that investigates war crimes.
Press aides with Homeland Security didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment, but the U.N. human rights investigators have said Ukrainian prisoners of war appear to be facing “systematic” mistreatment by Russian captors that includes torture. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/u-s-captives-prayed-for-death-on-brutal-ride-from-ukraine/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-09-30 21:40:54 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/u-s-captives-prayed-for-death-on-brutal-ride-from-ukraine/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
NEW YORK (AP) — After Caleb Williams won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the eighth player to do so for Southern California, he talked about how cool it will be to have his jersey retired at the school one day and to be able to take his place with other USC greats.
“But as of right now, I got a game in three weeks or so and getting ready to prepare for them, and I got a whole ‘nother year or two into a USC,” Williams said.
Barring some unforeseen circumstance, Williams will be the eighth Heisman Trophy winner since 2000 to play college football the following season.
None has come particularly close to winning another.
Maybe Williams is the one to break the trend and become just the second two-time Heisman winner, joining Ohio State’s Archie Griffin (1974-75).
Williams on Saturday night became the sixth sophomore to win the Heisman and the second in a row after Alabama’s Bryce Young last year.
This season, Young was pretty great again. But he missed some time with an injury, didn’t have the usual stable of star receivers afforded to Crimson Tide quarterbacks in recent years and ended up finishing sixth in the Heisman voting as Alabama went 10-2.
Expect Young and two-time Heisman finalist C.J. Stroud of Ohio State to move on to the NFL next.
TCU quarterback Max Duggan, the runner-up to Williams, might take advantage of a fifth year after a breakout senior season — though it will be difficult for Duggan and the Horned Frogs to recreate this magical season.
Who else will challenge Williams for the Heisman? Here are a few guesses:
Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
There already is a debate among NFL draftniks about who will be the No. 1 overall pick in 2024: Williams or Maye? Could be a great Heisman race between the two as well next season. Maye and the Tar Heels stumbled to the finish of this season, but he still ended the regular season second in the country in total offense at 367 yards per game.
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
The Buckeyes likely will be breaking in a new quarterback next season, but Harrison should help make the transition relatively smooth. In his first season as a starter, the sophomore has caught 72 passes for 1,157 yards and 12 touchdowns. He probably would be a first-round draft pick in the next draft if he was eligible.
Donovan Edwards, RB, Michigan
Michigan seems to be the one school capable of producing a Heisman contender at running back these days. Edwards showed late in the season he could be both a workhorse and a home-run hitter, stepping in for the injured Blake Corum with 401 yards on 47 carries against Ohio State and in the Big Ten title game.
Teammate quarterback J.J. McCarthy also could emerge has a Heisman contender, but Michigan loves its smash-mouth style.
Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington and Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
The Pacific Northwest rivals are both coming off great seasons after transferring into the Pac-12. Penix, who leads the nation in passing yards per game (363), already has announced he’ll be back, and Nix seems to be leaning in that direction. Nix threw 27 touchdown passes and ran for 14 scores.
Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
The highly touted former five-star recruit had a mediocre first season as the Longhorns’ starter, throwing 14 touchdowns passes and six interceptions in nine games while completing 56.6% of his passes. Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, arrives in Austin soon to push Ewers, who still has three seasons of eligibility left. The idea that Ewers could take a huge step forward in Year 2 can’t be dismissed. Same goes for Clemson’s Cade Klubnik and Texas A&M’s Conner Weigman.

Jamie Foxx remains hospitalized after suffering ‘medical emergency’ last month
ATLANTA (CNN) - Actor Jamie Foxx is thanking fans for their support as he recovers from an undisclosed medical condition.
Foxx had been in Atlanta filming the Netflix movie “Back in Action” with Cameron Diaz when he experienced the medical emergency that sent him to the hospital on April 11. He has remained hospitalized since.
On Wednesday, Foxx thanked all his followers for their support.
“Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” Foxx wrote in an Instagram post.
It’s the first time Foxx has spoken out since his daughter Corinne Foxx released a statement last month revealing that the actor was hospitalized due to a “medical complication.”
As he recovers, Nick Cannon will be filling in as guest host on “Beat Shazam,” a music-related game show that Jamie Foxx hosts with his daughter Corinne Foxx.

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Thursday that Germany will have to do a better job at clamping down on “irregular migration” and deporting those who don't legally reside in the country.
Scholz said that Germany, however, would continue to provide protection for Ukrainians fleeing Russia's war.
“Our responsibility in the face of this terrible war of aggression naturally also includes providing protection for Ukrainian citizens in the European Union,” Scholz said in a speech to parliament, adding that “all levels of government have been doing a great job for more than a year — especially the cities, counties and municipalities.”
More than 1 million Ukrainians have found shelter in Germany since Russia invaded their country more than a year ago. In addition, more than 200,000 people from countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey have applied for asylum in 2022.
Local communities have for months said they're struggling to house the many newcomers to Germany and have been calling on the federal government to help them with accommodation, schooling and financial support for all.
While Ukrainians have in general been warmly welcomed by Germans, asylum-seekers from the Middle East or Africa have experienced more hostility with the number of attacks on asylum centers rising again over the last year.
Scholz stressed that “effective answers to the challenges of flight and migration will only be possible by means of a European framework.”
Germany has long been one of the most popular destinations for migrants in Europe, and the government has been lobbying for those who come to be distributed across Europe more fairly — but to little avail.
Scholz also stressed that Germany has to speed up the deportation of those who have their asylum applications rejected.
“Those who do not have a right of residence in Germany must return to their home country quickly,” he said. “That does not work well enough yet.”
By the end of last year, about 240,000 people were going through the asylum procedure and around 168,000 people had been rejected as asylum-seekers and were obliged to leave the country, according to the Mediendienst Integration group, which researches migration in Germany. However, only 12,945 people who were required to leave Germany were eventually deported in 2022.
In addition to speeding up deportations, Scholz also said that the country would have to improve clamping down on irregular migration, but he didn't go into details on how to do this.
“We want to reduce irregular migration,” the chancellor said. "We want fewer people to put themselves in the hands of smugglers and on life-threatening escape routes.”

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady broke his own NFL record for completions in a season. He needed nine going into Sunday.
He completed 13 of 17 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons before leaving with 4:00 left in the second quarter.
Brady had a record 485 completions last season and now has 490 this season.

BAYREUTH, Germany (AP) — The Bayreuth Festival intends to present “Rienzi” for the first time in 2026 for its 150th anniversary, going outside the canon of Richard Wagner’s final 10 operas for the first time.
Wagner’s family still runs the festival in Bayreuth Germany, and until now has limited it to only what are considered his mature works.
Katharina Wagner, a great-granddaughter who directs the festival, announced future plans during a Zoom news conference on Monday, a day before this year’s schedule opens.
“Rienzi” will be staged along with the 10 other operas in 2026. “Rienzi,” Wagner’s third completed opera, opened in 1842 and is based on the 14th century Italian politician Cola di Rienzo.
Wagner said the 2024 festival will feature a new staging of “Tristan und Isolde” directed by Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson, conducted by Semyon Bychkov and starring Andreas Schager and Camilla Nylund. The 2025 festival will have a new production of “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg)” directed by Matthias Davids, conducted by Daniele Gatti conducting and starring Georg Zeppenfeld and Michael Spyres.
Wagner supervised the building of the Festspielhaus that opened for performances in 1876 for his “Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung),” his four-night epic. His final opera, “Parsifal,” premiered there in 1882, a year before Wagner’s death.
Philippe Jordan will conduct next year’s revival of Valentin Schwarz’s 2022 Ring Cycle staging. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/ap-bayreuth-festival-plans-to-present-wagners-rienzi-for-the-first-time-in-2026/ | 2023-07-25 22:33:37 | 0 | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/ap-bayreuth-festival-plans-to-present-wagners-rienzi-for-the-first-time-in-2026/ |

BANGOR, Maine — Ana Quaker traveled three hours from the York County town of Berwick to earn her U.S. citizenship Friday.
The 41-year old, who is originally from Romania, moved to Maine in 2015. She went to Bangor with six family members, including her husband Mark, and she will celebrate with a barbeque this weekend. Quaker, 41, went through the K-1 visa process, which is when a U.S. citizen must apply to bring their fiancee here from another country.
“More than anything, I’m relieved,” she said after the ceremony where she raised her right hand and took the Oath of Allegiance. “It was a long process and a lot of paperwork.”
For Quaker and 24 others who came from 18 countries, it was a day they will always remember. The last naturalization ceremony at the Margaret Chase Smith Federal Building and Courthouse took place in March. That was the first one in three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After meeting the country’s requirements and passing an interview and exam, the group finally became U.S. citizens. The ceremony is a culminating moment in the lives of many participants, some of whom have experienced difficult journeys to America.
“Before you leave today, take a moment and look at each other,” U.S. District Court Judge Lance Walker told the crowd before they took the oath. “You, individually and as a group, are now America.”
There was no question about how Fidele Rutonesha, 30, was feeling after the ceremony — “happy, of course,” he said while snapping photographs with loved ones.
He and his 22-year-old cousin, Christian Sebatware Byishimo, are from the Democratic Republic of Congo and now live in the Androscoggin County town of Poland. Byishimo arrived in Michigan in 2016 and Rutonesha in Texas a year later before relocating to Maine.
“We came here for peace and freedom,” Byishimo said, pointing to ongoing conflict and displacement in their home country. “We love the United States.”
Some new citizens, like Sylvie Isimbi of Portland, filled out voter registration cards through the Maine League of Women Voters.
Isimbi, 35, from Rwanda, joined her family members in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2015. She now lives with her husband in Portland and works as a caregiver, which she enjoys and doesn’t see changing with her new status.
“Today feels like my dream came true,” she said. “Really, it was my dream.”
Walker encouraged participants to share their art, music, language and recipes. He also reminded them to engage their neighbors with humility during divisive times. As new citizens, they should be well informed, start a business, continue their education, practice their religion and love their neighbors, he said.
“Cherish this moment, savor this moment, and perhaps most importantly, go home and record this moment so that future generations can learn the story of their American citizenship,” he said. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/08/news/bangor/25-new-citizens-bangor-naturalization-joam40zk0w/ | 2023-07-08 15:49:42 | 0 | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/08/news/bangor/25-new-citizens-bangor-naturalization-joam40zk0w/ |
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (NEXSTAR) — Hanukkah wouldn’t be complete without potato pancakes! We’ve put together a recipe you can try out this holiday season:
Cuisine: Jewish
Course: Side
Servings: 6 to 8
Difficulty Level: Easy
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time (minutes): 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (you may need another one!)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- lots of freshly ground pepper
- extra-virgin olive oil as needed for frying
Cooking Directions:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Wash the potatoes well. Grate them with a box grater or with the grater attachment of a food processor. Wrap the potato shreds in a dish towel. Carry it to the sink, wring it out, and allow the potato pieces to drain while you get out the rest of the ingredients and maybe have a cocktail or two.
In a medium bowl combine the potato pieces, the onion pieces, the egg, 2 tablespoons of flour, and the salt and pepper. In a large frying pan heat a few tablespoons of oil until the oil begins to shimmer. Scoop some of the potato mixture out with a spoon and flatten it with your hand. Pop the flattened pancake into the hot oil.
The latkes should be a little ragged. If they don’t hold together and are hard to turn, however, add a little more flour to the batter or even another egg.
Fry the latkes a few at a time, turning each when the first side becomes golden. Drain the cooked pancakes on paper towels and pop them into the oven until you have finished cooking the rest. | https://www.wfla.com/home-for-the-holidays/how-to-make-homemade-latkes-to-celebrate-hanukkah/ | 2022-11-01 14:16:58 | 0 | https://www.wfla.com/home-for-the-holidays/how-to-make-homemade-latkes-to-celebrate-hanukkah/ |
James Rado, who co-created pioneering ‘Hair,’ dies at 90
NEW YORK (AP) — James Rado, co-creator of the groundbreaking hippie musical “Hair,” which celebrated protest, pot and free love and paved the way for the sound of rock on Broadway, has died. He was 90.
Rado died Tuesday night in New York City of cardio respiratory arrest, according to friend and publicist Merle Frimark.
“Hair,” which has a story and lyrics by Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, was the first rock musical on Broadway, the first Broadway show to feature full nudity and the first to feature a same-sex kiss.
“Hair” made possible other rock musicals like “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Rent.” Like “Hamilton,” it was one of only a handful of Broadway shows in the past few decades to find its songs on the pop charts.
The so-called “American tribal love-rock musical,” had its world premiere at the Public Theater in New York City’s East Village in 1967 and transferred the following year to Broadway, where the musical ran more than 1,800 performances. Rado played Claude, a young man about to be drafted and sent to the war in Vietnam.
Clive Barnes, theater critic for The New York Times, called the show “the first Broadway musical in some time to have the authentic voice of today rather than the day before yesterday.” The New York Post said it had “unintentional charm,” contagious high spirits and a “young zestfulness” that “make it difficult to resist.” Variety, however, called it “loony.”
It lost the Tony in 1969 to the more traditional “1776″ but won a Grammy Award. The 2009 revival won the best revival Tony. The show was revived on Broadway in 1977 and again in 2009. It was made into a movie directed by Milos Forman in 1979 starring Treat Williams and Beverly D’Angelo.
“Hair” spawned four top four singles on the American pop charts, including the No. 1 hit “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” by the Fifth Dimension, which won the Grammy Award for record of the year and best pop vocal performance by a group in 1970. Others included “Hair” by the Cowsills, “Good Morning, Starshine” by the singer Oliver and “Easy to Be Hard” by Three Dog Night. The cast album itself stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks
“Hair” tells the story of Claude and Berger, best buddies who find freedom in the late 1960s. Between draft-card burnings, love-ins, bad LSD trips and a parade of protest marches, the two wander through a New York filled with flower children, drugged-out hippies and outraged tourists who don’t approve of the wild goings-on. In one song, Claude poignantly sings, “Why do I live, why do I die, tell me where do I go, tell me why.”
The show is playful and chaotic, but there’s also a sense of outrage in its protests against war, racism, sexism, pollution and the general hypocrisy of an era dominated by the American involvement in Vietnam.
“I’d still like ‘Hair’ to be about what it was about then,” Rado told The Associated Press in 1993. “‘Hair’ had a spiritual message, and it has a mystical message I hope is coming through — there’s more to life than the way it’s been devised for us, explained to us, taught to us.”
The songs of “Hair” have been used in everything from the films “Forrest Gump,” “Minions” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” to TV shows like “Glee,” “So You Think You Can Dance” and “My Name Is Earl.” Billboard magazine lists “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” at No. 66 of all-time top 100 songs.
In 2019, the original 1968 Broadway cast recording was inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden deemed “these aural treasures worthy of preservation because of their cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to the nation’s recorded sound heritage.”
Rado was born in Venice, California, and raised in Rochester, New York, and Washington, D.C. After serving two years in the U.S. Navy, he moved to New York and studied acting with Paula and Lee Strasberg.
Rado was part of the ensemble of the Broadway play “Marathon ‘33″ in 1963 and played Richard Lionheart in “The Lion in Winter” in 1966 opposite Christopher Walken. He met Ragni when he was cast in the off-Broadway musical “Hang Down Your Head and Die.”
The two were interested in birthing a new kind of show and focused on the hippie scene. They wrote the script while sharing an apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey. Rado originated the “Hair” role of the draftee Claude on Broadway.
“Hair” met resistance across the country. In addition to the use of four-letter words, the flouting of authority, sexual references and gross-out humor, the end of Act 1 had the entire cast strip naked to “Where Do I Go” and there was what many believed was desecration of the American flag.
There were church pickets in Evansville, Indiana. Municipal officials in Chattanooga, Tennessee, denied a request to stage the show, determining that it would not be “in the best interest of the community.” In Denver, police threatened to arrest anyone who appeared nude onstage. A Boston visit was challenged in court on the basis of flag desecration.
The original Public Theater production had cut the nude scene, but the creators wanted it back for the Broadway debut. Under the law at that time, New York City allowed nudity onstage onstage as long as the actors weren’t moving, which is why the whole cast of “Hair” stood together in a row, nude and perfectly still.
After “Hair,” Rado wrote the music and lyrics of the off-Broadway show “Rainbow,” co-authoring the book with his brother, Ted Rado. He later teamed up with Ragni to create the book and lyrics for the show “Sun.” Ragni died in 1991. Rado wrote a new show called “American Soldier” with his brother.
In 2009, Rado, MacDermot and Ragni were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., of the group The Fifth Dimension, were joined onstage by the Broadway cast at the time for a finale that brought the ceremony’s approximately 1,000 guests to their feet. MacDermot died in 2018.
Rado told the Hudson Reporter in 2009 that none of the show’s creators anticipated that it would have such an enormous impact. “We thought we’d stumbled on a great idea, and something that potentially could be a hit on Broadway, never thinking of the distant future.”
He is survived by his brother Ted Rado, sister-in-law Kay Rado, nieces Melanie Khoury, Emily DiBona and Melissa Stuart, great-nieces and a great-nephew.

SALT LAKE CITY — In a unanimous vote, a Utah House committee on Monday passed a bill advancing a state conversion therapy bill.
The vote came hours after a deal was struck on the legislation that originally sought to unwind some of Utah's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy.
The deal revolved around a language change in House Bill 228, and it was confirmed that the legislation will preserve the ban on conversion therapy for minors. Conversion therapy is a widely discredited practice of attempting to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity.
In 2020, Utah banned LGBTQ conversion therapy in an administrative rule after efforts to pass a law through the legislature failed. It was the result of a deal at the time between the governor's office, LGBTQ rights groups and even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Last year, it was reported that lawmakers signaled they would be revisiting the ban, raising concerns among Utah's LGBTQ community members.
The state's Rep. Mike Petersen, R-Logan, announced the agreement ahead of the Monday hearing on his bill.
"I am happy to sponsor this important legislation which provides clarity for professionals while continuing to protect Utah’s LGBTQ+ youth," he said in a statement.
“As a former counselor, the current DOPL rule has been particularly concerning to me. I have spoken with former colleagues who stopped treating minors because of ambiguity in the DOPL rule and fear of reprisal if they were to say something non-affirming to their minor patients. I have also spoken with members of the LGBTQ+ community who are grateful for the changes in HB228 because they wish their counselors would have been more inquisitive and curious during their therapy sessions."
Because of changes made to the bill to preserve the original ban, Equality Utah confirmed that it would support the legislation. If it passes the entire legislature, the ban would be enshrined into law instead of through an administrative rule.
"We’ve had important dialogue and have shared our concerns openly, and for that we are grateful," Equality Utah Executive Director Troy Williams said in a statement. "The second substitute continues to prohibit the very dangerous practice of conversion therapy for minors, while providing greater clarification for Utah therapists, and accordingly, we support the advancement of HB228 as amended."
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Senate President J. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, said he had been briefed on the agreement and was supportive of it.
Governor Spencer Cox was apparently involved in some of the discussions around the bill and supported the compromise.
"We appreciate Equality Utah and legislative sponsors working together to find common ground. We’ve encouraged these discussions and support this version of the bill," his office said in a statement.

- Masdar's Youth 4 Sustainability (Y4S) initiative hosts series of intergenerational events to engage global decision-makers and youth in climate action on sidelines of COP27
- UAE and Egypt Youth Ministers highlight important role young people must play in region's net-zero transition at Y4S African Forum
- Y4S COP27 workshop brings together youth from UAE, Africa and Europe to innovate community-based sustainability solutions
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Masdar, one of the world's fastest-growing clean energy companies, and its global Youth 4 Sustainability (Y4S) initiative convened global industry leaders, regional policymakers, students and young professionals for a series of events to empower youth climate engagement and action on the sidelines of the 2022 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP27).
Y4S is the United Arab Emirates' premier sustainability-focused youth empowerment program, held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office, and launched in 2017 by Masdar, one of the world's fastest-growing clean energy companies.
In the lead-up to and throughout the first week of COP27 in Sharm Al Sheikh, Egypt, Y4S hosted a series of events focused on unlocking the potential of Africa's most abundant resource: it's bourgeoning youth demographic, which represents more than 60 percent of the population, making Africa the youngest continent on the planet, according to the UN. By 2050, that youth population is expected to double, both intensifying the already-acute effects of climate change felt across the continent and creating significant opportunities to engage youth in climate action.
The Y4S African Dialogue, hosted Friday 11 November under the theme, "Building Youth Adaptability and Resilience for a Sustainable Future in Africa," began with a high-level panel featuring youth ministers from the UAE and Egypt, who together highlighted the importance of global collaboration in efforts to increase youth access to decision-making spaces where they can affect sustainable change.
UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, H.E. Shamma Al Mazrui, said: "The UAE reaffirms its commitment towards working with our partners in Africa and across the world to equip future generations with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to contribute to and benefit from the global net-zero transition. This week at COP27, Y4S demonstrated that, by working together, we can inspire sustainable innovation and meaningful action in future generations. As the UAE prepares to host COP28 next year, we look forward to continuing our work with Masdar and Y4S, building on the efforts of COP27 and to amplifying youth voices in the multifaceted global climate dialogue."
Egyptian Minister of Youth and Sports, H.E. Ashraf Sobhi, said: "African youth are incredibly resilient and innovative. As the continent's largest and growing demographic, ensuring their inclusion and getting their buy-in through initiatives like Y4S will be increasingly critical to Africa's sustainable socioeconomic development, security, and prosperity."
During the first week of COP27, Y4S also hosted 22 young people from across Africa, Europe, and the UAE for an interactive workshop to brainstorm and build community-based sustainability innovations, such as a smart stove that promotes clean-powered cooking through its use of biomass brickettes, a biofuel substitute to coal and charcoal. Base materials used in these biomass brickettes also offer the added benefit of repelling mosquitoes to help African communities combat malaria, which claims the life of a child under five on the continent every 75 seconds, according to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Masdar Executive Director of Brand and Strategic Initiatives, and Y4S Program Director, Dr Lamya Fawwaz, said: "The benefits of empowering the next generation cannot be understated. Yes, youth today are already facing unprecedented climate challenges – but that is precisely why it must be youth who take forward our ongoing efforts to combat climate change. At COP27, we saw some of the best and brightest come together to innovate impactful, sustainable solutions. In the coming months and years, Y4S will continue to engage, educate, and empower young people to turn climate promises and pledges into real action."
Ahead of COP27, Y4S hosted "Innovate 4 Climate," a special 45-day competition, including a 10-day virtual "bootcamp," to inspire young changemakers to learn, collaborate, innovate, and co-create solutions for a just energy transition in Africa. Y4S partners in the Innovate 4 Climate competition included Siemens Energy, the UN's Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and its Global Cleantech Innovation Program (GCIP).
Member of the Y4S COP27 Delegation and 2021 Y4S Future Sustainability Leader, Sara Almarzooqi, who was part of Innovate 4 Climate's winning team that developed a solar-powered home lighting and clean electric stove system, said: "Innovate 4 Climate gave me and my peers the opportunity to study and work to address real energy problems, with a particular focus on Africa. Being able to collaborate with young people from other countries was a very rewarding and empowering experience. Our team came up with the winning invention and our success goes to show that when young people are supported to work together, they can generate innovative results."
Recent graduate from the University of Rwanda's College of Science of Technology, Nicole Bahati, who also joined the Y4S COP27 Delegation and participated in the Innovate 4 Climate challenge, said: "I am passionate about bringing practical clean energy solutions to my community in Rwanda and others like it across Africa. Before and during COP27, Y4S has consistently offered unparalleled opportunities to learn from and work with global industry experts, as well as other young people from around the world, to innovate clean-tech solutions that meet the unique, immediate needs of our communities while accelerating the sustainable socioeconomic development of Africa and the world."
Y4S is aligned with the UAE's Principles of the 50, UAE Net-Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, and UN SDGs for mitigating climate change by building youth capacity, resilience, and adaptability. The Masdar platform hosts two year-long education and skill-training programs: the Future Sustainability Leaders (FSL) and Sustainability Ambassadors (SA) programs – both of which aim to empower the next generation of sustainability leaders by connecting them with global policymakers, corporate decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and technology pioneers to learn about best sustainability practices and leadership. FSL targets university and postgraduate students aged 18 to 35, whereas SA targets students aged 13 to 17 in high school.
Active in more than 40 countries across the world, Masdar is invested in a portfolio of renewable energy assets with a combined value of more than US$20 billion and a total capacity of more than 15 GW. In December, it was announced that Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), Mubadala Investment Company, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) will partner under the Masdar brand to create a truly global, clean-energy powerhouse intended to spearhead the drive to net-zero carbon by 2050 while cementing the UAE's leading role in green hydrogen.

Republicans and Democrats spar over committee snubs
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - In what could be a very public settling-of-the-score, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy barred California democrats Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, along with Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar from serving on the House Intelligence Committee.
“Eric Swalwell being in the private sector and can’t get a security clearance there, we will not provide him with the secrets to America,” said McCarthy Tuesday.
“It’s political vengeance - which is a shame because it’s always been a bi-partisan committee,” said Swalwell, “he’s taking one of the most precious pieces of glassware in the congressional cabinet and he’s smashing it.”
Democrats see the move as a direct retribution to Former speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gossar from serving on committees. Greene for comments made surrounding the attacks on January 6th, and Gosar for a video he tweeted depicting the death of prominent sitting congresswoman.
McCarthy denies that is the reason.
“I will put the national security ahead of partisan politics any day,” said McCarthy.
Whether or not these are moves of revenge, Minority leader Hakim Jeffries is hopeful both parties will be able to move past it.
“We should find common ground to make progress for the American people,” said Jeffries. “I hope we’ll continue to be able to do that generally including by continuing to have a very productive relationship with the speaker of the House.”

Tampa Rough Riders donate over 10,000 Teddy bears to people who 'need a little love' each year
Modern-day Rough Riders pay homage to Roosevelt's legacy in Tampa by doing good deeds in the community
The Rough Riders still parade proudly down the palm tree-lined streets of Tampa — armed these days with cuddly Teddy bears instead of Teddy Roosevelt's fearsome calvary horses.
Roosevelt’s legendary legion of marauders attacked and captured San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish-American war in 1898.
The larger-than-life American hero, just 39 years old at the time, parlayed the victorious assault into the governorship of New York, the vice presidency and then the Oval Office — all in less than three years.
TERRIFIC TAMPA: 5 FAVORITE SPOTS FROM ‘POLITICS FOR PATRIOTS’ IG CELEBRITY ROGAN O'HANDLEY
He staged his forces in Tampa before setting sail for Cuba during a war that transformed geopolitics 125 years ago.
The Rough Riders of today are a Tampa "krewe" that honors the unit's memory and the city's role in American military and presidential lore.
They collect and distribute more than 10,000 Teddy bears each year for needy local children and families — among other charitable endeavors and civic activities.
"We will distribute them to children’s hospitals, VA centers, assisted living centers," Lt. Col. (ceremonial) Bob Moeller, president of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment Rough Riders, told Fox News Digital.
"Tampa Rough Riders distribute stuffed animals to ‘anybody in need of a Teddy bear and a little bit of love.’" — Bob Moeller
"Pretty much anybody in need of a Teddy bear and a little bit of love," he added, of those the groups will help.
Teddy bears, beloved by generations of children, are named for Theodore Roosevelt. The very first Teddy bear was sold 120 years ago, on Feb. 15, 1903, while President Roosevelt sat in the White House.
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, FEB. 15, 1903, THE FIRST TEDDY BEAR GOES ON SALE
Krewes such as Moeller's Teddy bear-hugging Rough Riders are civic and charitable organizations that march in local parades, host celebrations and otherwise lend a festive air to a community.
Each krewe typically sports celebratory costumes.
The Rough Riders wear tan-and-blue late 19th-century U.S. Army calvary uniforms with tropical headgear made popular by the Hero of San Juan Hill.
"Tampa is rife with krewe life," Tampa magazine wrote last year.
"People with common interests gather in these social and philanthropic membership organizations and have a blast along the way."
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL call their season-ticket holders "krewe members," in deference to local tradition.
"Tampa is rife with krewe life." — Tampa magazine
The Rough Riders' sprawling clubhouse in Ybor City features parade floats outside and an entire storage space inside with Teddy bears sorted by size from small to jumbo — the biggest stuffed bears as large as full-grown men.
Moeller’s Rough Riders, founded in 1978, serve a dual role of charity and preserving American lore.
"They really did ride through Tampa," said Moeller. "This is a real part of our history."
Florida’s City by the Bay is filled with monuments that memorialize the Rough Riders and their charge up San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898.
Ornate Plant Hall, the main building on the beautiful University of Tampa campus, was the Tampa Bay Hotel in the late 1800s. Roosevelt used it as his headquarters while in the city.
"The Rough Riders who ‘could whip Caesar's Tenth Legion’ brought enduring fame to Tampa." — Historical marker
"Tampa was a cluster of old weather-beaten houses floating on an ocean of sand" when Roosevelt and the Rough Riders arrived by train on June 3, 1898, reads a historical marker in Ybor City, Tampa's popular old-world neighborhood.

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have developed a method that may be able to improve CAR T-cell therapies by identifying the early cells that become effective at killing cancer.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have demonstrated that the long-term performance of cancer-killing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can, in some cases, be predicted before treatment. The research provides a unique cell sequencing-based framework to measure and improve CAR T–cell immunotherapy performance. The report appears online early today in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
CAR T cells work by harnessing a patient's immune system to identify and kill cancer cells. The immunotherapy has proven effective for treating children and adults with leukemia and lymphoma, but the therapy sometimes fails or falters over time.
Using advanced technologies in the lab, St. Jude researchers identified a small subset of CAR T cells, among the total group of CAR T cells prepared for therapy, produced most of the enduring anti-cancer activity when infused into children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
The methodological framework the scientists created serves as a template to improve other CAR T–cell therapies by providing a guide to navigate the complexities of these immunotherapies.
"It was a surprising finding," said co-corresponding author Paul Thomas, Ph.D., St. Jude Department of Immunology. "It appears that a very small proportion, certainly the minority of CAR positive T cells in the pre-infusion product, are actually contributing to the anti-tumor response in the patient."
Before the study, researchers assumed most CAR T cells created in a single preparation are similar, with cancer clearance activity representing the average activity of those prepared cells.
"We showed that, in this case, a small group of cells is the driving force of cancer clearance," said co-corresponding author Jeremy Chase Crawford, Ph.D., St. Jude Department of Immunology. "The ability to find the therapy-driving cells was important to demonstrate because in the future a refined version of this method could be used to identify and enrich for infused cells that are going to be helpful to a patient, as opposed to cells that aren't."
A signature of potential success
The scientists found a distinct gene expression "signature" in the pre-infusion CAR T cells that became effector T cells, the type of immune cell that killed cancer cells. The team found three genes within that signature that encoded proteins expressed on the T–cell surface. Cells that carried a particular combination of the surface proteins became effector T cells; the other CAR T cells became dysfunctional.
The technology to sort cells by surface markers exists and could be used to enrich CAR T–cell preparations to include only cells fated to become effective cancer killers. The researchers clarified that the cell surface markers identified in this study may be unique to this combination of CAR T cell, ALL and patient population. But the method the researchers pioneered serves as a proof-of-principle of how other CAR T–cell therapies could be improved.
To find the signature, researchers collected CAR T cells in the laboratory before they were given to patients (pre-infusion). The investigators later collected blood samples from the patients, weeks and months into the study. They were able to track the fate of the infused CAR T cells using single-cell RNA sequencing.
"Right now," Thomas said, "almost everything for CAR products is assessed at a bulk level. We showed that you need to look at the single-cell level to define the phenotypes of those cells that are going to be the critical effectors in the patient."
A barcode to identify CAR T-cell descendants
The researchers' novel approach combines a T-cell "barcode" with single-cell gene expression sequencing in pediatric cancer patients. This allows them to follow T–cell lineages. Each original T–cell lineage taken from the patient has a unique protein, called the T–cell receptor (TCR). In a patient, an activated CAR T cell will divide and proliferate after encountering cancer cells. So, every T cell from a patient with an identical TCR is descended from the same original T–cell lineage, which was modified in the laboratory prior to infusion. Thus, the TCR can act as a barcode for a specific lineage of CAR T cells.
The scientists sequenced the TCRs in the pre-infusion cells and in patient samples after therapy. Using machine learning, the researchers compared genetic transcripts from single cell sequencing to see if cells became effectors. From this tracing, the investigators found that a small proportion of pre-infusion cells, specifically those with the pre-effector signature, become effectors and proliferate in the patient.
The first of its kind study was made possible due to a cross-departmental collaborative effort at St. Jude aimed at integrating clinical trials and basic immunological research, called the Center for Translational Immunology and Immunotherapy (CeTI2). Scientist obtained samples from a clinical trial called SJCAR19, the first investigator-initiated CAR T–cell therapy study at St. Jude, led by study co-author Aimee Talleur, MD, St. Jude Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.
"The study illustrates a huge team effort and brought together investigators from basic science and the clinic," said co-corresponding author Stephen Gottschalk, M.D., St. Jude Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy chair, "It highlights the virtue of team science and the promise of single-cell technologies combined with big data analytics to develop effective cellular immunotherapies for cancer."

Grey's Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl reunited to reflect on their residency on the ABC's hit medical drama.
The actresses, who played Meredith Grey and Izzie Stevens, respectively, recently took part in Variety's "Actors on Actors" series and reminisced about working on the landmark show, having been part of the cast when it premiered in 2005.
While Heigl said she "hasn't gone there yet" and watched Grey's with her eldest daughter Naleigh, Pompeo revealed she has tried to watch it with her eldest daughter Stella.
Pompeo said Stella came up to her and said it was "embarrassing and weird" that all her friends had seen the show and she hadn't, so Pompeo decided they'd take the plunge together.
"At first I was like, 'Oh, this is so amazing, and we're going to watch it together,'" she recalled. "And then it was episode after episode after episode, and I was just like, 'I don't have the stamina for this! I filmed all these episodes. I did it. I can't now go back and watch it again.'"
Unlike Pompeo, Heigl revealed when she was on the show, she watched every episode as it aired.
Meredith left Seattle during season 19 and popped back up in the season finale -- and Pompeo said that won't be the last we see of the titular character.
"I will be making some appearances hopefully next year, if I can find some time," Pompeo teased. "It's not a complete goodbye, and I think we've got an interesting story to tell."
Pompeo explained in September, she'll start working on a Hulu series that's under the working title of The Orphan.
"I haven't played another character in 18 years," she said of the "intense" part. "That's crazy -- crazy town, crazy town," she added.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Fresh off its narrow escape in last week's season and Big Ten conference opener at Purdue last week, Penn State returns home to Happy Valley Saturday to host Ohio in Beaver Stadium.
The game will kick off at noon on ABC.
Here's what you need to know.
Ohio (1-0) at Penn State (1-0)
THE SERIES: Penn State is 5-1 against Ohio in a series dating back to 1967 The last time the Bobcats came into Beaver Stadium was 2012, when they left with a 24-14 victory for their only win of the series. Ohio rallied from a 14-3 halftime deficit to win the game.
ABOUT OHIO: Playing in the Mid-American Conference, the Bobcats went 3-9 last year in their first season under head coach Tim Albin. Four of Ohio's nine losses in 2021 were by single-digit margins.
Albin has been with Ohio since 2005, when he joined former Bobcat coach Frank Solich's staff as offensive coordinator.
Ohio won its season opener last week, defeating Florida Atlantic 41-38. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke threw for 345 yards and four touchdowns and added another TD on the ground for the Bobcats, while Sieh Bangura rushed for 114 yards on 23 carries. Rourke's top targets were James Bostic (six catches, 136 yards, TD) and Sam Wiglusz (two TD catches).
Rourke was named the MAC East Offensive Player of the Week after his performance.
Defensively, safety Ben Johnson finished the day with 15 tackles, including five solo stops.
ABOUT PENN STATE: The Nittany Lions rallied for a 35-31 triumph in their Big Ten and season opener at Purdue in a prime-time Thursday night game, as QB Sean Clifford drove them 80 yards in just over a minute and hit Keyvone Lee with a go-ahead TD pass with 57 seconds left.
It was the fourth touchdown pass of the game for Clifford, who also added a touchdown on the ground for the Nittany Lions. He completed 20 of 37 passes for 282 yards, but was almost the goat of the game when he threw a fourth-quarter interception to Chris Jefferson, who returned it 72 yards for a touchdown that gave the Boilermakers a 31-28 lead with 8:29 remaining.
Clifford was named the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week after rallying the Lions in the final minutes.
Penn State's defense broke up 16 passes and held Aidan O'Connell to a 50.0 completion percentage after he completed 71 percent of his passes in 2021. CB Joey Porter Jr. recorded a team-high eight tackles, a career-high six pass breakups and recovered a fumble.
LIONS AT HOME: This is Penn State's 63rd season in Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions are 120-13-1 all-time in home openers, including a 44-13 triumph over Ball State last year. Penn State is 52-10 in home openers at Beaver Stadium, and is 18-2 in its last 20 home openers. | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/football/penn-state-ohio-2022-home-opener-game-notes/521-d3d3e33a-c9a3-4820-a3d4-00e01022186b | 2022-09-09 18:02:23 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/football/penn-state-ohio-2022-home-opener-game-notes/521-d3d3e33a-c9a3-4820-a3d4-00e01022186b |
SUNBURY, Pa. — Until recently, part of North 6th Street in Sunbury was an overgrown mess of trees and plants. The eyesore was a magnet for crime.
In 2018, former Sunbury Mayor Kurt Karlovich had the idea to fix it up. The Sunbury Wetland Ecological Educational Park, or SWEEP, was born.
"Now that we've started this project, the property is being cleaned up, and the complaints of crime have gone down in this general area. It's helped push neighbors to revitalize their own properties as well," Karlovich said.
The project sits on 4.5 acres. Nearly one of those acres is federally projected wetland habitat. When finished, there will be three walking trails, benches, educational signage, and a pavilion.
Phase one of the project, a walking trail, was finished over the summer.
"The rest of the habitat between the three trails will be left to grow in its natural state. We are trying to rid the invasive plant species on this property. That way, we have a natural northeastern Pennsylvania habitat here," Karlovich said.
Earlier this week, the project was given about $260,000 in grant money. Karlovich says he is still looking for donations from businesses and volunteers to help with the project.
If you're interested in helping out with this project, there are a series of volunteer days coming up. The first is on Sunday. September 25.
"If you just want to come out to learn more about the project or if you want to meet the volunteers who have been involved with the project, or just lend a helping hand, there's a lot here for anybody to be able to do," Karlovich said.
The SWEEP project is expected to be finished by the end of next year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: YMAB) between October 6, 2020 and October 28, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 20, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Y-mAbs securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Y-mAbs class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9496 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 20, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Y-mAbs repeatedly misled investors about its meetings with the FDA, claiming that it was making progress in demonstrating the effectiveness and efficacy of its drug candidate, omburtamab. What was unknown to investors was that the FDA had repeatedly advised Y-mAbs that the treatment of effect of omburtamab cannot be objectively established or quantified based on a comparison between Study 03-133 and an external cohort comprised of data from the Central German Childhood Cancer Registry (CGCCR) database because of substantial differences in the patient populations, and the absence of tumor response data, and that Study 101 was neither sufficiently advanced nor indicative of efficacy to justify approval. Further, Y-mAbs failed to advise investors that it had elected to submit the March 31, 2022 BLA prior to reaching agreement with the FDA on the content of the application. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Y-mAbs, investors suffered damages.
To join the Y-mAbs class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9496 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

FORT WORTH, Texas — As the raging fires in the Possum Kingdom area take a toll on first responders, they're getting unexpected help from some Fort Worth students.
Sabrina Hamilton is enrolled in the Physician Assistant Program at UNT Health Center in Fort Worth. She can now add to her resume some real-life experience when it comes to disaster relief aid.
"We are in school right now to be able to help other people,” said Sabrina Hamilton.
Hamilton and some of her classmates just returned from the fire scenes in Palo Pinto County. As Physician Assistant Program students they took their learning outside the classroom to join others in offering on-scene emergency personnel some much-needed relief.
For now, much of the relief is needed in the afternoon each day as firefighters take on their biggest battles against the flames at the start of daylight, according to a UNT spokesperson.
“There were a lot of people that came from around the area to help put these fires out. We were able to give water, Gatorade, help out with snacks, cool people down and make sure everyone was comfortable," Hamilton said.
Hamilton showed WFAA the medical supplies in the backpacks carried by each student. They are ready to help treat a variety of injuries on the spot including springs, trips, falls and scrapes and minor burns.
They've spent hours learning how to render care in the classroom. But taking that knowledge on the road is priceless.
Justin Chaves didn’t hesitate when the opportunity to assist in Possum Kingdom came up. He welcomes not only the learning experience but also the change of pace as a student.
"We have been in the books for quite a long time, lecture after lecture, PowerPoint after PowerPoint,” said Chaves. “So, it was kind of nice to go out there and support we could give to the first responders out there."
In photos from their assignment, you can see the students remained in safe areas while offering their assistance. It's an experience they believe will pay off in the future.
Emily Lin is not only a junior a UNT Health but also enrolled in the United States Navy. She already has experience from Navy Officer Development School where she participated in fire fighting simulations. Lin had the opportunity to wear full firefighter gear in temperatures around 85 degrees.
The Palo Pinto County assignment gives her an even greater appreciation for the job they do especially when temps top 100 during wildfires. Both her experiences will make her a better Physician Assistant.
"I just wanted to be as prepared as I can and just having this experience adds another background that I can draw upon,” said Lin.
As the flames continue to burn, UNT Medical Center students will rotate in and out of Possom Kingdom to offer help as needed. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/fort-worth-texas-students-offer-help-in-wildfires/287-764bc7d7-4825-4c92-971e-c528f07c9fa5 | 2022-07-21 00:30:07 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/fort-worth-texas-students-offer-help-in-wildfires/287-764bc7d7-4825-4c92-971e-c528f07c9fa5 |

FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) — A group that includes small business owners in Kentucky called Wednesday for the state legislature to regulate and tax so-called "gray games." The group, which calls themselves skill-based gaming, was at the Kentucky Capitol on Wednesday.
Last year, a different group called for legislators to ban the games entirely, which concerned business owners who have the gaming machines at their businesses.
At the office lounge in Lexington, owner Ronnie Shields says the games have been a big boost to his business when they really needed it during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“And we were really struggling, wondering if we were going to stay in business to be honest with you,” Shields said.
With money from the machines, he said they have been able to remodel the club and expand into a space next door. Soon, he said they’ll be able to make major improvements to their kitchen.
On the surface, the gray machines look like slot machines. You press a button to play and can win money. But, proponents of the legislation say it is not gambling.
“It’s like Tik Tak Toe,” said Jeana Bouzek. “And when you have two like symbols and you push a square it gives you a wild basically.”
She works at skill-games developer Pace-O-Matic. In Kentucky, their games fall under the “Burning Barrel Powered by Pace-O-Matic” name. “This is a skill game, 100% legal," she said.
The small business owner gets more than 50% of the revenue from each machine, she said.
One group, Kentuckians Against Illegal Gambling, is pushing back against the proposal.
“We’re going to have these machines woven into Kentuckians' everyday lives and I don’t think Kentuckians are ready for that,” said Mark Guilfoyle, the group’s executive director.
His group is largely backed by horse racing interests. Many racetracks do have slot-like machines, but they are designed to let people bet on historical races.
It’s not possible to regulate them because the state’s department of revenue doesn't have the resources to do it, he said. He also said they draw crime. That’s something Shields said is not true.
He thinks horse tracks are trying to protect their own regulated gaming interests.
At the same time, Guilfoyle said he wants to see games like Burning Barrel’s banned entirely.
“And why is that,” Shields responded. “Why not let the small guy make a little extra.” | https://www.lex18.com/news/covering-kentucky/proponents-of-gray-games-pushes-for-them-to-be-regulated-in-kentucky | 2023-02-09 12:04:31 | 0 | https://www.lex18.com/news/covering-kentucky/proponents-of-gray-games-pushes-for-them-to-be-regulated-in-kentucky |

TUCKER CARLSON: Republicans must focus on issues that matter to Americans to win
Tucker Carlson analyzes the 2022 midterm elections and what Republicans need to do for a winning strategy
So, everybody's focused on this fall's midterms for good reason, but maybe bigger elections have already happened, more meaningful elections. These were local races that you probably haven't heard about because nobody pays attention. Here's what they were. Last week, the Republican Party flipped five majority-left school districts in big counties in Florida. That would be Miami-Dade, Sarasota, Duval, Martin, Clay counties.
Miami-Dade alone is one of the biggest school districts in the entire country. It's got more than 300,000 students in it. So, this change has major implications for the education and the future of millions of young people. It's not just happening in Florida. A Texas school board that flipped to the Republican Party earlier this year is already working to change things. They just voted to ban race hatred and gender cult ideology in schools. So, there may be a lesson here. Let's say you're a Republican running for Congress in November. You might be wondering, "How did these Republicans win at the local level?"
It wasn't just because it's a red wave year, because actually it's not really a red wave year so far, despite what you may have heard. In other races so far, special elections, Republicans have been underperforming, amazingly. For example, in a special election last week in New York's 19th Congressional District, Democrat Pat Ryan beat Republican Marc Molinaro. Now in a red wave year, you would have thought the opposite would happen. This was a very tight district. This district went for Joe Biden by only a point and a half in the last election. That's not exactly a huge margin for the Democrats, but Democrats won anyway, despite the fact Joe Biden's approval numbers have dropped dramatically since then. And it's not just in that district. Democratic candidates across the country have been outperforming Joe Biden's 2020 numbers in at least three other House special elections, elections in Nebraska, Minnesota and in the 23rd District of New York.
So, why is the question. How could this be happening? Well, the Democratic Party has a really simple explanation: abortion. Everything's about abortion. Democratic voters are really mad about Roe v. Wade being repealed and they're voting in bigger numbers, but there isn't actually any evidence at all to support that that's true. Instead, there is evidence that the Republican Party may be at fault by alienating its own voters and not getting them to the polls.
RUBIO RESPONDS TO DEMINGS' COMMENTS, ACCUSES DEM OPPONENT OF SUPPORTING ABORTION 'AT ANY POINT'
Ryan Girdusky has done a lot of work on this. He runs the 1776 Project PAC. He supported those for the school board candidates one last week. Girdusky recently wrote on his sub stack that Republicans are underperforming this year because turnout in rural counties is only about 30%, 30% of what it was in 2018, the midterm that year.
Cities and suburbs, meanwhile, which are Democratic strongholds, had double that level of turnout. So, why are Republicans winning in school board races in Florida, but losing in big races in rural areas that they should be winning? Well, the answer might lie with the candidates and what they're talking about in those districts.
For example, in February, Marc Molinaro, the guy who just lost in the race he should have won in New York, told the county office building to illuminate the building in red and blue. Now, those are not the county colors. They're Ukraine's colors. Right, as if his voters care. That's the message that Molinaro, as executive director of Dutchess County, New York, sent to voters: Poughkeepsie stands with Ukraine.
Right. Everyone is sympathetic to Ukraine, but is that really the main issue? No, it's a joke. The same candidate also sent fundraising emails to voters throughout upstate New York calling for more aggression against Russia. "Biden is weak on Putin," Molinaro wrote. Right. So, does sounding like Lindsey Graham actually work? Our borders are racist, but Ukraine's borders are sacrosanct. It doesn't work. Here's what he said.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY SAYS BIDEN SPEECH SLAMMING TRUMP, 'MAGA REPUBLICANS' WAS 'NOT POLITICAL'
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: The question is, "Can we do more and should we do more?" The answer is yes to both. As to my friends in the Pentagon, you told all of us that this war would last three or four days, that Kyiv would fall, that, you know, that the country would be overwhelmed by the Russian military. They were wrong. So, quite frankly, I trust President Zelenskyy's judgment about what would help him in real time more than anybody else on the planet right now.
Okay, so just to be clear to Republican candidates, that was Lindsey Graham. Your job is to make fun of Lindsey Graham and to disavow Lindsey Graham. Your job is not to emulate Lindsey Graham and steal his talking points and if you do emulate Lindsey Graham and steal those talking points, you will lose and the losing candidates did just that. So, compare what they were saying to what, for example, Joe Kent was saying in Washington state when he won his primary there as a challenger. Watch this.
JOE KENT: If any of these representatives feel so passionately about how we have to go and save the Ukrainians and provide enough lethal aid and continue to push this escalation, they need to go back to their districts and tell the American people, tell their constituents what they're asking them to do and what the ramifications potentially could be. Why do foreign nations always come first? Why do we secure their borders and not our own?
BIDEN DEMONIZES ‘MAGA REPUBLICANS,’ BUT DEMS SPENT OVER $46 MILLION TO HELP PRO-TRUMP CANDIDATES WIN PRIMARIES
Well, exactly. It's nothing against the Ukrainians. Again, everyone feels sorry for the Ukrainians, but Americans have a right to feel sad about what's happening in their country and to expect their politicians to work on fixing it. So, if more Republicans in November say what you just heard Joe Kent say, they will win if they talk about the issues that people actually care about in this country, issues that are relevant to their lives, they will win. That's how they won those school board seats in Florida. They weren't talking about Ukraine. They were talking about the issues that matter to the voters in Florida: family safety, happiness, the right of parents to decide what their kids learn in school. That message wins. Obviously, that's why Glenn Youngkin became governor of Virginia.
GLENN YOUNGKIN: We're going to embrace our parents, not ignore them. We're going to press forward with a curriculum that includes listening to parents input, a curriculum that allows our children to run as fast as they can, teaching them how to think, enabling their dreams to soar. Friends, we are going to reestablish excellence in our schools.
So, that was Glenn Youngkin's message. "You're a parent. Schools exist for your children and they're your children. They don't belong to the teacher's union and we're going to listen to you." Now, Terry McAuliffe was running against Glenn Youngkin. He had had the advantage of a lot of money. He'd been governor of the state before. Here was his message and we're quoting, "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they can teach." Oh, turns out most people disagree and he was destroyed. His political career hit the brick wall it had long deserved.
GAVIN NEWSOM'S IN-LAWS FLED FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA DURING THE PANDEMIC, RECORDS SHOW
So, it turns out the Republicans who focus on the things that matter, families protecting families, will win. Along with the 1776 project, Ron DeSantis was one of the biggest supporters of those school board candidates last week. This year, DeSantis signed a law banning teachers’ unions members from talking about sex with your kindergartners because it's creepy and should be illegal. DeSantis also fired a prosecutor who refused to enforce the law.
FLORIDA GOV. RON DESANTIS: The prosecutor, state attorney for this judicial circuit, Andrew Warren, has put himself publicly above the law. In June of 2021, he signed a letter saying that he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors and then most recently, after the Dobbs decision was rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court, he signed a letter saying he would not enforce any laws relating to protecting the right to life in the state of Florida and mind you, we have had prohibition on third trimester abortions for a long time. When you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty, you have neglected your duty, and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to perform those duties and so today we are suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren effective immediately.
So, enforce the law. That's a winning message, too. It's not just about one corrupt prosecutor in the state of Florida. It's about ending the lawlessness that makes it impossible for Americans to live in their own cities. Blake Masters caught on to that message. That's how he won his primary in Arizona.
BIDEN SAYS TRUMP SUPPORTERS NOT A THREAT TO COUNTRY AFTER SPEECH BLASTING 'MAGA REPUBLICANS'
BLAKE MASTERS: We can never amnesty any illegal alien period. If your first interaction with our country is to break its immigration laws, you will never get amnesty. You will never become a United States citizen. That is a line in the sand. We will never cross it. We have to stop incentivizing illegal immigration. If you're not deporting people, you don't have border security.
Well, that's not hard. What's the point of having a country if your own government ignores the laws that your representatives passed? How is that democracy? No, it's chaos and lawlessness and ultimately it's autocracy. So, national Republicans are not that dumb. They could have figured that out, but they're saying just the opposite. It's almost like they want to lose. They're calling for gun confiscation, gun confiscation, guns from law abiding citizens, which would make you as reliant as possible on police forces that are underfunded. How underfunded? Have you checked the response times in your city recently?
In the city of New Orleans, according to researcher Jeff Asher, the police response time is now over 2 hours, long enough for you to get killed. The city is talking about canceling Mardi Gras because they have no cops. In Seattle, the city council just reported, "average immediate response time is up in nearly every precinct when compared with the last four years of data." Ok.
In Austin, Texas, the police chief recently admitted that response times to the city's most serious emergencies are "dramatically slower."
So, that's a huge problem and it puts the onus of self-protection on the individual, on the family. You have to protect your own family. You don't have a choice at this point. It's always been your right. Now it's your obligation. Are Republicans recognizing this? Well, here's John Cornyn, who represents Texas calling for gun confiscation so that you can't protect yourself when the cops don't show up.
SEN. JOHN CORNYN: I don't want us to pass a bill for the purpose of checking a box. I want to make sure we actually do something useful, something that is capable of becoming a law, something that will have the potential to save lives. I'm happy to report, as a result of the hard work of a number of senators in this chamber, that we've made some serious progress, so soon, very soon, not soon enough for me, but very soon we will see the text of bipartisan legislation that will help keep our children and our communities safer.

It won't save a single child and he knows that. What it will do is take firearms away from the law-abiding while they remain in the hands of the law-breaking. It will make the country more dangerous. That's a Republican United States senator, an incumbent who unfortunately is not up for election this year, but God willing, will be punished for what he did, but the point is, the Republican Party in Washington seems to have missed all of this.
Look at the elections taking place already this year, and that's the clearest possible sign to the people who run the Republican Party to stop talking about Ukraine, stop taking people's guns away. Start talking about things that they care about: the economy, education, family safety, justice, following the law, our border. Those are the things that matter, and if you don't acknowledge that, you're going to lose. | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-republicans-focus-issues-matter-americans-win | 2022-09-03 03:18:58 | 1 | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-republicans-focus-issues-matter-americans-win |
American Cancer Society and ACS CAN Continue Commitment to End Cancer As We Know It, For Everyone
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On the one-year anniversary of the reignited Cancer Moonshot, the White House looked back on a year of progress and announced several public and private commitments to continue to work toward the initiative's mission to, "End cancer as we know it today." Among the commitments of the private and nonprofit sectors shared by the administration, the American Cancer Society and its advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), are highlighted for ongoing work across the enterprise to support the Moonshot's five key priority areas: (1) close the screening gap, (2) understand and address environmental exposure, (3) decrease the impact of preventable cancers, (4) bring cutting-edge research through the pipeline to patients and communities, and (5) support patients and caregivers.
"The American Cancer Society and ACS CAN are well aligned with the Moonshot's mission, and remain steadfast in our commitment to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families," said Dr. Karen E. Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society and ACS CAN. "The progress we've realized to date in understanding and achieving better outcomes for the more than 200 diseases known as cancer is inextricably linked to the collective investment and dedication of the government and the private sector working side by side."
In direct response to the president's call to mobilize resources to change the trajectory of cancer last year, the American Cancer Society stood with First Lady Jill Biden to launch the ACS National Breast Cancer Roundtable and ACS National Cervical Cancer Roundtable in October. Using an 'all-hands-on-deck approach,' the roundtables convene scientists, the medical community, leading public health agencies, the private sector and community organizations to catalyze change and investment across the cancer continuum. Just weeks ago, ACS also announced a new Improving Mortality from Prostate Cancer Together (IMPACT) initiative to reduce death rates from prostate cancer in all demographics and disparities for Black men by 2035 through advocacy, patient support and research.
Additionally, this year, among our ongoing work across discovery, patient support and advocacy to change the trajectory of cancer as we know it, for everyone, ACS will participate in a first-of-its-kind public-private initiative launched by the National Cancer Institute to bring clinical and patient navigation support to families facing childhood cancer. The American Cancer Society is also partnering with the Richard M. Schulze Foundation to launch a challenge grant to raise funds for American Cancer Society Hope Lodges, ensuring those families who have to travel for cancer treatment have free lodging so they can focus on treatment. ACS CAN is joining a new coalition of diverse stakeholders to address barriers to health care faced by rural communities, including technology and infrastructure limitations.
Beyond the private commitments announced today, the White House also referenced a number of legislative and policy developments over the past year, including improved cancer care affordability thanks to out-of-pocket cost caps in Medicare Part D; the creation and funding of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) with $2.5B already appropriated, kickstarting the administration's initiative to promote big ideas in innovation alongside the critical and ongoing basic research executed by the National Cancer Institute; passage and implementation of the PACT Act, with 1.5 million veterans having received screening for toxic exposure and a commitment by the Department of Veterans Affairs to expedite access to care and cancer claims linked to that exposure; and the Food and Drug Administration's issuance of proposed rules prohibiting menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars.
"The president's ongoing commitment to shine a national spotlight on cancer and mobilize collective resources to address the disease is yielding tremendous dividends," said Lisa Lacasse, president of ACS CAN. "We call on lawmakers and policymakers in Washington and every state across the country to continue to pick up the mantle and play an instrumental role in reducing cancer incidence and mortality through investment in research, promoting evidence-based prevention, including proven tobacco control; advancing innovation in cancer screening and early detection; and reducing barriers to affordable, comprehensive health care from prevention through survivorship."
The American Cancer Society recently released its 2023 Cancer Facts and Figures report, highlighting overall progress made, including an overall drop in cancer mortality of 33% since 1991, averting an estimated 3.8 million cancer deaths. Yet more work remains as it is projected that in 2023 there will be more than 1.9 million new cancer cases and more than 600,000 deaths from cancer in the United States. The report further highlighted ongoing disparities in cancer burden.
"The American Cancer Society and ACS CAN are poised and proud to continue to work shoulder to shoulder with the president, administration, Office of Science and Technology Policy leading the Cancer Moonshot initiative, and private partners across the cancer continuum to improve lives," Knudsen said. "We remain focused on ensuring that progress realized in the fight against cancer benefits all communities."

Carmelo Anthony, the star forward who led Syracuse to an NCAA championship in his lone college season and went on to spend 19 years in the NBA, announced his retirement on Monday.
Anthony, who was not in the NBA this season, retires as the No. 9 scorer in league history.
Only LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O’Neal scored more than Anthony, who finishes his career with 28,289 points.
“Now the time has come for me to say good-bye … to the game that gave me purpose and pride,” Anthony said in a videotaped message announcing his decision — one he called “bittersweet.”
Anthony’s legacy has long been secure: He ends his playing days after being selected as one of the 75 greatest players in NBA history, a 10-time All-Star, a past scoring champion and a six-time All-NBA selection.
And while he never got to the NBA Finals — he only played in the conference finals once, with Denver against the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 — Anthony also knew what it was like to be a champion.
He was the Most Outstanding Player of the 2003 Final Four when he led Syracuse to the national championship, and he helped the U.S. win Olympic gold three times — at Beijing in 2008, at London in 2012 and at Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
His college coach at Syracuse, the now-retired Jim Boeheim, tweeted a “welcome to retirement” message to his former star.
“I am honored to have been a part of your legendary career, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you,” Boeheim wrote.
Anthony played in 31 games in four appearances at the Olympics, the most of any U.S. men’s player ever. Anthony’s 37 points against Nigeria in the 2012 games is a USA Basketball men’s record at an Olympics, as are his 10 3-pointers from that game and his 13-for-13 effort from the foul line against Argentina in 2008.
“Carmelo Anthony is one of the NBA’s all-time great players and ambassadors,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “We congratulate him on a remarkable 19-year career and look forward to seeing him in the Hall of Fame.”
Anthony will remain part of international basketball for at least a few more months; Anthony is one of the ambassadors to the Basketball World Cup, FIBA’s biggest event, which will be held this summer in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.
“I remember the days when I had nothing, just a ball on the court and a dream of something more,” Anthony said. “But basketball was my outlet. My purpose was strong, my communities, the cities I represented with pride and the fans that supported me along the way. I am forever grateful for those people and places because they made me Carmelo Anthony.”
Anthony was drafted No. 3 overall by Denver in 2003, part of the star-studded class that included James at No. 1, Hall of Famer Chris Bosh at No. 4, and soon-to-be Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade — he gets officially enshrined this summer — at No. 5.
Anthony will join them at the Hall of Fame before long — the Hall of Fame said he will be eligible for the 2026 class. He averaged 22.5 points in his 19 seasons, spending the bulk of those years with Denver and the New York Knicks. Anthony has long raved about his time with the Knicks, and what it was like playing at Madison Square Garden, especially as a kid who was born in Brooklyn.
He was the NBA’s leading scorer with 28.7 points per game in 2012-13, when the Knicks won 54 games and the Atlantic Division title.
“The Garden,” Anthony said in 2014. “They call it The Mecca for a reason.”
Anthony spent his first 7 1/2 NBA seasons in Denver, becoming the third-leading scorer in franchise history. His Nuggets teams had seven consecutive winning seasons and earned seven playoff berths, but they advanced in the postseason just once, ending in that six-game conference finals loss to the Lakers in 2009.
“He wore that Nuggets jersey with pride and did a lot of great things while in a Denver Nuggets uniform, as well as all the other uniforms he wore in an illustrious career,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Monday before Denver faced the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, hoping to clinch the franchise’s first NBA Finals appearance. “When you think of Carmelo, you think of one of the more elite scorers in NBA history, a guy that from the D.C. metro area goes to Syracuse and wins a championship and comes into the NBA and was just a bucket-getter from Day One.”
Anthony also played for Portland, Oklahoma City, Houston and ended his career with the Lakers last season. He went unsigned this year, and now his retirement is official.
He said in his retirement address that he’s looking forward to watching the development of his son Kiyan, a highly rated high school shooting guard.
“People ask what I believe my legacy is,” Anthony said. “It’s not my feats on the court that come to mind, all the awards or praise. Because my story has always been more than basketball. My legacy, my son … I will forever continue through you. The time has come for you to carry this torch.”

Which Carolina Herrera perfume is best?
Named after its founder, Carolina Herrera is a fashion brand that launched in New York City in 1998. Since then, the beautiful and classy brand has been a staple style with fashion-forward people and celebrities. Its perfumes embody chicness and luxury with vibrant, floral fragrances that often make good choices for gifts or personal use. For a classy, charming Carolina Herrera perfume that stands out, the Carolina Herrera Good Girl for Women Eau de Parfum is a top pick.
What to know before you buy a Carolina Herrera perfume
Fragrance types
High-quality perfumes differ based on the fragrance concentration and ingredients used to make them. Fragrances with higher concentrations will generally last longer. For example, extrait de parfum and eau de parfum have high fragrance concentrations and will last for long periods when worn. Eau de toilettes, on the other hand, have a lower fragrance concentration and will not last as long.
Skin sensitivity
Perfumes usually consist of water, alcohol and oil. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to go for fragrances with the least amount of alcohol, as they are less likely to irritate your skin. Fragrances like extrait de parfum or eau de parfum are good options for those with sensitive skin because they contain more oil than alcohol. You can patch test any perfume on your wrist to know which fragrances you might be sensitive to.
Season and occasion
With so many fragrances to choose from, it’s best to select your perfume not just based on personal style but season and occasion as well. For instance, if you’re going out in the evening for dinner, a musky perfume would be an excellent choice to set the mood. On the other hand, florals, citrus and sweet, edible scents may be more suitable as daytime or springtime perfumes.
Dry-down period
The dry-down period occurs after your perfume dries off your skin and the top notes have gone. The heart notes of a perfume can only come out after the dry down. Making your choice based on just the top notes means that you may or may not enjoy the full array of scents your perfume has to offer. It is best to get a whiff of the heart notes and the base notes to get a full fragrance profile.
What to look for in a quality Carolina Herrera perfume

Wear time
The luxury brand uses high-quality ingredients to formulate its range of fragrances. This makes them long-lasting with a wear time of about eight hours.
Sizes

Special scent
Carolina Herrera perfumes are crafted to mimic the elegant style of the designer herself. It balances scents that fall within floral and woody fragrance families. You will easily feel elegant and stylish with the scents that are unique to the timeless designer.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia state police are asking for the public's help as they investigate a shooting on Interstate 95 that left a man hospitalized and his car riddled with bullets.
State police said they were notified just after 2:40 a.m. Monday about a single-vehicle crash along the southbound lanes of I-95 near the 71-mile marker in Richmond. The Honda Civic was eventually located at a gas station.
The driver of the vehicle — a 30-year-old man from Richmond — was found inside the car and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to VCU Medical Center, where he is being treated for serious but non-life-threatening wounds.
Police said it appears that the Civic had been traveling south on the highway when it was shot more than 10 times. The car ran off the road and struck the guardrail, but the driver was able to continue off the highway and pulled into the gas station
Police said the driver has not been able to provide a description of the suspect or the suspect's vehicle. He was the only person in the Civic.
Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information about the incident is being asked to call Virginia State Police. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/I-95-shooting-leaves-man-injured-car-riddled-17283869.php | 2022-07-04 21:19:24 | 0 | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/I-95-shooting-leaves-man-injured-car-riddled-17283869.php |
North Korea threatens 'unprecedentedly' strong response to US-South Korean nuclear drills
North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns drills will once again plunge region into 'grave vortex of escalating tension'
North Korea has warned the United States and South Korea that planned military drills this month will be met with "unprecedentedly persistent and strong counteractions."
The hermit nation's Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the threat Friday after South Korea and the U.S. announced joint military drills have been planned that will focus on addressing North Korea's growing nuclear viability.
US, SOUTH KOREA VOW TO RAMP UP NUCLEAR DETERRENCE IN FACE OF NORTH KOREA AGGRESSION
"In case the U.S. and South Korea carry into practice their already announced plan for military drills that [North Korea] – with just apprehension and reason – regards as preparations for an aggression war, they will face unprecedentedly persistent and strong counteractions," the ministry wrote.
North Korea has long accused the U.S. and South Korea of using joint military drills as a pretext for rehearsing an invasion of the isolated communist country.
"This predicts that the situation in the Korean Peninsula and the region will be again plunged into the grave vortex of escalating tension," the North Korean statement continued.
South Korea called North Korea "our enemy" for the first time in six years in its biennial defense document published on Thursday.
"North Korea doesn't give up its nukes and is persistently posing military threats to us, so the North Korean government and military… is our enemy," the document read.
The country's description of its rival in defense papers typically reflects the relationship between the two. During past times of animosity, South Korea has referred to its neighbor as the "main enemy," "present enemy" or "enemy."

(NEXSTAR) – We’ve all been there. There’s nothing in the fridge and you don’t have time to run out, so you open up a delivery app to order lunch. But by the time you go to check out, pay all the fees, and tip your driver, your $11 burrito has turned into a $19 splurge.
The jump in price is thanks to lots of little fees – a couple of bucks here, a few percentage points there – that add up by the time the food arrives at your doorstep.
Where does all that extra money go? Uber Eats and DoorDash break down the line item charges on their websites. Grubhub also charges similar fees but doesn’t list them in detail.
The first two charges you’ll see listed frequently on all three apps are “delivery fee” and “service fee.” The delivery fee, to state the obvious, goes toward helping cover the cost of the delivery, the companies told Nexstar. The delivery fee can fluctuate based on demand, your location, how many delivery drivers are available, and other factors.
The delivery fee is one that goes toward delivery drivers’ earnings, at least in part, an Uber spokesperson confirmed.
The service fee, on the other hand, goes toward operational costs, the three companies said. Operating expenses include keeping the apps up and running, customer service, credit card processing fees, and more, an Uber Eats spokesperson said. A service fee can start at less than a dollar, but increases based on the size of your order.
Next come a few less common fees you may see tacked on.
Uber Eats and DoorDash both have a “small order fee,” for example, which is pretty much what it sounds like. If you’re only ordering a coffee or a smoothie for delivery, the app may tack on an extra few dollars to make delivering it worth the driver’s time and the company’s resources.
On DoorDash, you may also see an “expanded range fee” if you’re ordering from a business that’s further away.
In some places, the apps levy a “regulatory response fee” to offset the effects of local regulations. For example, after an outcry from struggling restaurants during the pandemic, dozens of cities passed limits on the amount apps could charge restaurants to deliver the food. Now, in some cases, the apps are tacking on an extra fee for users in response. On DoorDash, these fees are between $0.10 to $3.40, depending on the region.
Californians also get another fee the apps started charging after Prop 22. They say it’s needed to ensure drivers get minimum wage and health insurance.
You may also need to pay a fee if you change your address after you place your order, which “helps to pay your delivery person for extra time and effort,” according to Uber Eats.
The price of the food you order may also have hidden fees baked in. Grubhub’s terms of service, for example, say the company “reserves the right to consolidate or otherwise incorporate fees and/or surcharges into the prices listed for Merchant food and beverage items.”
Restaurants may set menu prices higher on delivery apps to help cover the cost of doing business on the platforms. In addition to fees that users pay, the delivery apps take a cut from the restaurants’ sales.
We spot-checked a lunchtime delivery option on Uber Eats in San Rafael, California. The restaurant listed a salad’s price as $15.95 if you picked it up in-store, but the same menu item was marked up to $19.30 on the Uber Eats app – and that’s before taxes, delivery cost, and other fees.
The total ended up being $31.85 without leaving a tip for the driver.
Seeing all those little fees broken out on your bill may be frustrating, but DoorDash said the line items are part of the company’s policy of transparency. The app shows you fees multiple times, not just at checkout, so you know what’s coming and know where the money is going, a spokesperson said.
In its recent Merchant Impact Report, Uber also touts that its services – while they come at a cost – facilitate billions of deliveries globally to many small and medium-sized businesses that might not be able to deliver food without services from a third party.
If you order a lot of food for delivery, it may be worth it to subscribe to things like DashPass, Grubhub+, or Eats Pass. For $10 a month, the delivery fee is usually waived and service fees may be lowered. | https://who13.com/news/national-news/food-delivery-fees-add-up-who-keeps-the-money-from-all-those-surcharges/ | 2023-05-29 14:56:15 | 0 | https://who13.com/news/national-news/food-delivery-fees-add-up-who-keeps-the-money-from-all-those-surcharges/ |

(WJBF) — Multiple people across six states have been hospitalized after being infected with a strain of listeria that may be linked to contaminated brie and camembert cheeses.
The cheese was manufactured by Old Europe Cheese, Inc., of Michigan, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On Friday, Sept. 30, the company issued a recall for brie and camembert sold nationwide and in Mexico at supermarkets, retail shops, and wholesale stores.
Over 90 types of cheeses were affected, including those sold under dozens of brand names such as:
- Black Bear
- Block & Barrel
- Charmant
- Cobblestone
- Culinary Tour
- Fredericks
- Fresh Thyme
- Glenview Farms
- Good & Gather
- Heinen’s
- Joan of Arc
- La Bonne Vie
- Lidl
- Life in Provence
- Market 32
- Matrie’d
- Metropolitan
- Prestige
- Primo Taglio
- Red Apple Cheese
- Reny Picot
- St. Randeaux
- St. Rocco
- Taste of Inspiration
- Trader Joes
The affected cheeses have best-by dates ranging from September 28, 2022, to December 14, 2022.
Stores, where the cheese was sold, include Albertsons, Giant Foods, Lidl, Safeway, Shaws, Stop & Shop, Whole Foods and more. Some retailers may have repackaged the cheeses for individual resale as well, meaning they may not bear any of the above brand names, according to a recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Listeria infections linked to the same strain have been observed in six states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and Texas. Five people have been hospitalized due to the infection, and four of those people reported eating brie or camembert cheese. No deaths have been reported at this time.
Anyone who may have purchased cheese affected by the recall is asked to throw it away immediately and clean refrigerators, containers and surfaces that may have touched the recalled cheese. The CDC says listeria can survive in the refrigerator and can spread to other foods and surfaces.
Those who believe they have become ill after eating the recalled cheese are urged to contact a doctor.
Listeria, which can be caused by ingesting contaminated deli meats, soft cheeses, and raw sprouts (among other contaminated items), can produce flu-like symptoms and confusion. Pregnant people, newborns and the elderly are at the highest risk of complications or death, according to the CDC.
The CDC is currently investigating to see if any other products from the company were also contaminated by listeria.

Robinhood takes on retirement in search for more growth
NEW YORK (AP) — After blazing onto Wall Street by making trading fun for its customers, Robinhood is now setting its sights on a more staid corner of the industry: saving for retirement. The company on Tuesday is opening up signups for a retirement program, where customers can sock savings into an Individual Retirement Account, something better known as an IRA. It’s the first such effort for Robinhood, which is trying to recapture some of its formerly high-flying growth that fell off as painful downturns made day-trading of stocks and crypto much less fun. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/12/06/robinhood-takes-on-retirement-in-search-for-more-growth/ | 2022-12-07 09:48:04 | 0 | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/12/06/robinhood-takes-on-retirement-in-search-for-more-growth/ |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett scored twice while Carter Hart recorded 30 saves to help lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.
In a game that featured the two teams currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, Philadelphia (11-15-7) used its young core players of Konecny (25 years old), Tippett (23) and Morgan Frost (23) to carry the scoring load.
“As hard as it has been to eat all the losses (as coaches) ... they are the ones who play,” Flyers head coach John Tortorella said. “I can imagine how they feel, but there are some good things going on for development and your team concept. You have to hang your hat on it somewhere or you will lose your minds.”
Kirill Marchenko, Kent Johnson and Andrew Peeke each scored for the Blue Jackets, who have lost five straight and eight of their last 10. Daniil Tarasov had 34 saves in his fifth straight loss for Columbus (10-20-2), which is missing players due to injury.
“Tonight, I don’t think we managed the puck well,” Columbus coach Brad Larsen said. “We were sloppy and it cost us. Right up to the last play. We had pockets of decent moments, but we were a step slow, and we just couldn’t connect.”
Konecny recorded his first shorthanded goal in the NHL for the first period’s lone goal, turning a Gustav Nyquist turnover in the defensive zone into a scoring chance capped off with a wrister over Tarasov’s glove. Konecny would score the eventual game winner early in the third period with his 14th goal of the season, an unassisted breakaway goal off the backhand into the upper right corner.
“Right now, it’s about making the plays the right way and the guys are getting me the puck in the right spots,” Konecny said. “All the bounces are going my way right now.”
The Blue Jackets bunched two goals together midway through the second period to take the 2-1 lead on Johnson’s wrist shot past Hart on a 2-on-1 breakaway.
The Flyers answered before the end of the period with Frost adding his 6th goal of the season to tie game less than two minutes after Johnson’s goal. Three minutes later, Tippett received a cycle pass from Joel Farabee and whipped it past Tarasov. Tippett, who has been paired up on a line with Frost and veteran James van Riemsdyk, would seal the game with 1:19 left with an empty net goal for his 10th of the season.

“It’s always nice to know where guys are going to be all the time and building chemistry,” Tippett said. “It’s been great and hopefully we can keep going.”
Hart improved to 10-9-6 on the season.
NOTES: With the loss, Columbus fell to 2-9-1 on the road. ... Philadelphia had forward Kevin Hayes back in the lineup on Tuesday night. Hayes, who is second on the Flyers with nine goals and entered play Tuesday a team-high 29 points, was a healthy scratch in Philadelphia’s 6-3 home loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday night. John Tortorella has been upset about the defensive play of a few of his veterans. Hayes entered Tuesday night’s game as a minus-12. ... Wade Allison was activated off injured reserve and saw his first game action since Nov. 12. for Philadelphia. ... Columbus starting goaltender Elvis Merzlikins missed his second straight game with an illness. Tarasov started on back to back nights, falling 2-1 to Dallas on Monday at home.

Dear Santa, you may not receive a list from Jenna Bush Hager's kids this year.
Before celebrating Christmas with her husband Henry Hager and their three children Mila, 9, Poppy, 7, and Hal, 3, the Today show co-host hopes to keep the fun under the tree to a manageable level.
"I'm more into experiences," Jenna told Hoda Kotb on the Dec. 22 episode of Today. "I like the fun trip or concert or whatever it is."
One experience this family can't say no to is visiting Santa. But when discussing the topic of disappointment around the holidays, Jenna developed a rule that may be beneficial to other parents.
"It's all about expectation," she said. "We got to go see Santa and sit on his lap and see Mrs. Clause and Henry said, ‘Should the kids write a list?' and I'm like, ‘No, because I don't want them to think that Santa is definitely going to bring all 10 presents.'"
Jenna continued, "Once you get into the lists, then it's multiple things. We've lowered it a little bit."
Hoda agreed when she shared the wise advice a parent once told her. "She said, ‘Part of our job as parents is preparing our children for disappointment,'" Hoda recalled. "I feel like we're all fixes."
Christmas lists or not, there is one present Jenna has in mind for her oldest child.
"I think we're going to be adopting a little kitten," she teased. "Don't tell. Mila wants to name her Hollywood Hager and call her Holly."
"She's ready," Jenna added. "She wants that responsibility. She just can't wait."
Today With Hoda and Jenna airs weekdays at 10 a.m. on NBC.

Grand Prairie maintenance worker checking pipes killed by person who thought he was a burglar
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - A 53-year-old maintenance worker was shot and killed on Christmas Eve while checking to see if pipes at a Grand Prairie apartment complex had burst.
Cesar Montelongo was checking the pipes at the Clayton Point Apartments on Alouette Drive, where several pipes had ruptured.

According to police the resident thought his apartment was being burglarized, grabbed a gun and shot the Montelongo through the window.
The 53-year-old was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The resident stayed at the scene and is cooperating with detectives.
No arrests have been made at this time.

Woman gave herself a pay raise, stealing $200K in payroll theft from Ormond Beach company, deputies say
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - A woman who is accused of raising her pay without her employer's knowledge, stealing more than $200,000 in payroll theft, was arrested on a felony grand theft charge Friday, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
An investigation began in April after the owner of Atlas Towing Salvage & Marine Services in Ormond Beach noticed discrepancies with his payroll, a charging affidavit stated.

Deputies said the owner's accountant reviewed the payroll and found that the office manager, identified as Jamie Mann, 35, of Daytona Beach, had allegedly altered payroll multiple times and had given herself a $5 hourly raise on three separate occasions. No one else in the company had access to payroll except for her, the charging affidavit stated.
VCSO said her pay increases went unnoticed for nearly three years, with Mann overpaying herself more than $165,000 between Sept. 2019 and April 2022.
The owner admitted to not reviewing any payroll summaries over the years but said when he did receive a summary in April, he noticed Mann's pay rate was listed as $30 per hour. Deputies said Mann had been employed with the company since August 2019 and was hired with a pay rate of $15 per hour.

"Upon further investigation, it was discovered Mann was providing different payroll records to the owner to obscure the true pay she was actually receiving. In addition to her self-approved pay raises, Mann regularly paid herself extra compensation for "on-call" time, and time-and-a-half for overtime. While her estimated annual salary was supposed to be $41,022, in 2021, Mann grossed $122,844 in salary for a reported 4,127.2 hours of work," the sheriff's office stated in a news release.
Authorities said since the start of the reported thefts, Mann allegedly stole more than $201,000 in excess pay plus payroll tax costs.
Mann reportedly used much of the money on Amazon purchases, amusement park tickets, home improvement and other recreational expenses, investigators said after reviewing her bank records.

Flowers are among the most popular gifts for moms on Mother's Day, if not the most popular gift.
Each year, though, they seem to get more expensive. But there are ways to save without looking cheap.
Over the coming days, millions of other shoppers will buy everything from flower bouquets to hanging baskets to more exotic flowers like orchids.
Lindsay Frafsing, owner of Benken Florist and Garden Center, says with the high price of cut arrangements these days, something mom can plant, like tulips or greens, may make more sense.
"They are very long living. They are planted together and would be nice for somebody," she said of one $50 planter in her shop.
But be careful: Smart shopping expert Trae Bodge says some other retailers slap a big sale sign on already-elevated prices, so shopping for flowers around any holiday can be tricky.
"You should always compare and contrast with a few different vendors," she said.
SEE MORE: E-bikes take the work out of biking, but are they worth the cost?
If your heart is set on a cut bouquet, Bodge says you can save by picking up flowers at the local grocery or corner store.
"You might find something really beautiful that maybe just needs an extra ribbon or needs to be repackaged a little bit," she said.
Buying in store also saves you from paying costly delivery fees. But if you have to ship, check for coupon codes on sites like Coupon Cabin or Groupon.
One last tip: Both Bodge and Frafsing suggest buying mom live flowers instead of an expensive bouquet, such as tulips (which can rebloom year after year) or even perennial daisies.
They are often cheaper and will last a lot longer.
"They rebloom. You are given an extended gift," Frafsing said. "And every time it blooms, they think of you, and they get warm and fuzzy inside and know they are being loved."

Megabus expands Detroit routes to Toronto, four other Canadian cities
Megabus said Monday it is expanding its routes with daily trips from Detroit to Toronto with stops in four other Canadian cities.
Schedules are available and tickets can be purchased for travel starting April 5.
The announcement comes less than two months after the New Jersey-based bus company that touts fares as low as $1 announced its return to Detroit with connections to 13 other cities.
This latest expansion involves a partnership with Trailways of New York, the company said. It will allow for two daily trips between Detroit and Toronto and include stops in Windsor, Chatham, London and Paris, Ontario. According to the bus line's website, a one-way ticket from Detroit to Toronto on April 5 is $45 plus a $3.99 booking fee.
"We are pleased to be able to leverage our partnership with Trailways of New York to expand our service,” Colin Emberson, vice president of commercial for Megabus, said in a statement Monday. “Offering cross-border service between Detroit and Toronto is a new and exciting opportunity for Megabus that will allow for several new travel options for our customers this spring.”
Megabus returned to Detroit in January. The company said it left in 2020 when it ceased operations in parts of its network due to the pandemic. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2023/03/06/megabus-expands-detroit-routes-to-toronto-four-other-canadian-cities/69977888007/ | 2023-03-06 22:12:42 | 0 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2023/03/06/megabus-expands-detroit-routes-to-toronto-four-other-canadian-cities/69977888007/ |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A female Mexican gray wolf that roamed beyond the endangered species’ recovery area into the more northern reaches of New Mexico has been captured, authorities said Monday.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish used a helicopter to locate and capture the wolf Sunday.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials in Albuquerque said the wolf will be held temporarily in captivity and paired with a male Mexican wolf “for transfer as a pair to Mexico later this year.”
They said the female wolf first moved north of the arbitrary Interstate 40 boundary in New Mexico on Jan. 2 and then showed no signs of returning to the experimental population recovery area.
Authorities said last week that a map showed the wolf near Taos and south of the Colorado border.
“As it is breeding season and there are no other known wolves in the area, there was a high likelihood of a negative interaction or breeding with domestic dogs,” Fish and Wildlife Service officials said in a statement.
The wolf, from the Rocky Prairie Pack of Arizona, was named “Asha” by school children.
Her roaming reignited a debate over whether the predators should be confined to a certain stretch of the southwestern U.S. as wildlife managers work to boost the population.
Environmentalists have been fighting in federal court to overturn a requirement that the Fish and Wildlife Service capture wolves that roam north of I-40.
Last week, conservation advocates asked authorities to allow the wolf to continue on her journey.
“This wolf’s name, Asha, means ‘hope’ in Sanskrit,” said Mary Katherine Ray, wildlife chair for the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club. “What could be more fitting for a wolf exploring and surviving the big wide world on her own as wolves historically once did throughout the southwest?”
Collared wolves have trekked north of I-40 only a handful of times since 2015 when the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area was established, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Wolf-livestock conflicts have been a major challenge of the reintroduction program over the past two decades, with ranchers saying the killing of livestock by wolves remains a threat to their livelihood despite efforts by wildlife managers to scare the wolves away and reimburse some of the losses.
The Mexican wolf is the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America. According to the most recent survey released in early 2022, there were at least 196 Mexican wolves in the wild in New Mexico and Arizona. It marked the sixth straight year the population had increased. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Mexican-gray-wolf-that-roamed-beyond-recovery-17736056.php | 2023-01-23 23:32:53 | 1 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Mexican-gray-wolf-that-roamed-beyond-recovery-17736056.php |
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (IDX: BBRI) has implemented the BRIvolution 1.0 Transformation Program for the 2018 to 2022 period, focusing on the digital and culture areas, to digitize existing business processes and create new values through a new business model.
"The transformation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is not only for human capital, business models, and business processes, but also for consolidated financial statements as parts of corporate transparency and good corporate governance," said the Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir at the 2021 BUMN Portfolio Performance Press Conference in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 28 September 2022.
The transformation is proven to boost the performance of SOEs as seen from the financial report figures, such as an increase in revenue, the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin, and a decrease in the ratio of debt to total investment.
BRI President Director Sunarso revealed, "The pandemic is a turning point for the BRIvolution 2.0 to become 'The Most Valuable Banking Group in Southeast Asia and Champion of Financial Inclusion' by 2025, which includes establishing Ultra-Micro Holding (UMi Holding) as a new source of growth, accelerating the current account saving account (CASA) growth, and accelerating digital transformation."
With BRISPOT, the micro credit booking process has increased from an average of IDR 2.5 trillion monthly over IDR 4 trillion. In addition, the credit process has become much faster, from previously taking two weeks to two days. Other examples include the BRILink Agent, with a transaction volume over IDR 1000 trillion last year, and the BRImo, BRI's Super Apps, with a recorded significant growth during the pandemic of 20.2 million users and a transaction volume of IDR 1,567 trillion.
The transformation is carried out to build a performance-driven culture with a management information system supported by valid and accurate data. The system enables individuals and organizations to design and plan their own successes. BRI's task include preparing a platform for healthy competitions, a system, and rewards.
"By carrying out this transformation program, as one of the largest SOEs in Indonesia, BRI is optimistic in playing an important role in the economic recovery and the revival of the national economy," concluded Sunarso.

HOUSTON (KIAH) — The adoptive parents of a young boy who was found dead in a washing machine in July are facing capital murder charges.
Troy Khoeler, 7, was reported missing in late July by Tiffany Thomas. Troy was initially a foster child who Tiffany and Jermaine Thomas later adopted.
Authorities searched for Troy for several hours until finding his body in the top-load washing machine in the garage of a home in Spring, Texas, just outside of Houston.
After speaking with Tiffany and Jermaine, authorities determined Troy was home alone for roughly six hours the day he was reported missing. Jermaine told authorities he couldn’t find Troy when he returned home from work that day, but Troy was ultimately not reported missing for nearly five hours. But when Troy was initially reported missing, authorities were told it had been roughly two to three hours since he was last seen, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Jermaine and Tiffany Thomas were arrested this week after an autopsy lead forensics to rule the boy’s death a homicide, the Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.
According to the medical examiner, Troy was beaten, suffocated, and possibly drowned. He suffered “new and previous injuries” as well, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Jermaine Thomas was charged with capital murder, while Tiffany Thomas faces injury to a child by omission. Jermaine’s bail was set at $2 million, while Tiffany had a $150,000 bail set.
Texts obtained by investigators allegedly showed Tiffany had texted Jermaine to explain that she threatened to put Troy “in the stove and turn it on” until the 7-year-old admitted to eating some snacks. Additional texts from Jermaine revealed he was upset about the boy eating snacks. He wrote “I’m going to end up kill(ing) him,” according to another Houston outlet.
Texas Child Protective Services told local news outlets that they had investigated the boy being physically abused twice within the last year. | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/charges-filed-against-adoptive-parents-of-7-year-old-texas-boy-found-dead-in-washing-machine/ | 2022-11-16 23:50:34 | 0 | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/charges-filed-against-adoptive-parents-of-7-year-old-texas-boy-found-dead-in-washing-machine/ |
Health care workers from local hospitals are once again calling attention to what they call “dangerously” low staffing levels at medical centers and placing blame on hospitals for perpetuating the issue.
Amid the industry-wide labor shortage, nurses, patient care technicians, housekeepers and other hospital workers spoke out in a press conference today about low staffing levels and low pay. Workers argue the staffing crisis is endangering patients at Chicago hospitals. | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/seiu-workers-blame-chicago-hospital-leaders-low-staffing-pay | 2022-10-07 00:32:48 | 1 | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/seiu-workers-blame-chicago-hospital-leaders-low-staffing-pay |

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers rookie reliever Gus Varland was hit on the right hand and then his jaw with a 105.1 mph line drive by Manny Machado and came out of Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres.
The scary moment came in the bottom of the eighth. Varland was knocked to the ground by the impact. He woozily got to his feet and dropped his glove as two teammates and a trainer rushed to his side. He was helped to his knees as he was tended to before being helped off the field.
X-rays were negative and Varland said he felt OK.
“I’m more mad about that slider location,” Varland said after the game. “It felt good out of my hand, it just didn’t get there. It came back at me, hit my hand and my chin and my left forearm. It just kind of rocked me a little bit. I felt fine though. I felt like I could have kept going but I think that’s the adrenaline talking there.”
“Don’t hang your sliders middle-middle,” Varland said. “Lesson learned.”
The ball caromed to shortstop Willy Adames, who threw out Machado.
The Padres led 8-3 at the time and won 10-3.
