WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Scholten is among the Democrats who had a surprisingly good election night in November.
She became the first Democrat in nearly a half century to win her western Michigan congressional district, bucking expectations about her party's prospects and helping limit the Republican majority in the U.S. House to just four seats. As President Joe Biden prepares for a coming reelection bid, victories like this have bolstered him and his supporters who believe voters rewarded his steady leadership during a period of economic and political turmoil.
But Scholten, who declined in an interview to outright endorse Biden for reelection, suggested that while the president has accomplished a tremendous amount, he wasn't the reason for her victory. She won, she insisted, by appealing to voters as someone “focused on putting the people of their district first over national politics.”
That approach tapped into an apparent openness among voters to support Democratic candidates in the midterms even if they weren't necessarily fond of Biden, a discernment that is notable at a time when politics has become increasingly nationalized. Roughly 1 in 6 voters for Democratic House candidates said they disapproved of Biden's job performance, according to AP VoteCast, an extensive nationwide survey of the electorate. Two-thirds of these voters said Biden was not a factor, good or bad, in their midterm decisions.
The findings are a warning sign for both parties at the outset of the 2024 presidential campaign. For Republicans, a constant stream of attacks on Biden may have little effect on voters who will accept him over GOP contenders seen as too extreme. But for Biden, the findings also suggest that the surprisingly strong Democratic performance last year might not translate into energy around his reelection.
“We certainly have a problem as a party if individuals have such low satisfaction with the leader of our party,” said Scholten, who also noted she would welcome a competitive Democratic primary, an unlikely prospect for now.
In Michigan and beyond, VoteCast shows that about three-quarters of the midterm voters who backed Democrats but disapproved of Biden were self-identified Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents. Most said party affiliation was not very important to them.
This group was more likely than those who approved of Biden to be sour about the economy, the issue that ranked top among them, and blame the president for inflation. They were overwhelmingly pessimistic about the country's direction. The cohort was younger, more ideologically moderate and from lower-income households.
Shea Comfort of West Chester, Pennsylvania, doesn’t think there’s enough attention on working people who are struggling to feed their families when the “price of living now outweighs our check.” It’s not just Biden who isn’t doing enough, he said, but he called the president “the biggest liar of them all” and a “puppet on a string.”
“None of these guys have seen hungry nights,” the 44-year-old cook said of politicians. “The middle class is getting kicked in the spine.”
Comfort said he's a Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020 and Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2022, but he's voted for Republicans before and would again. He said he wouldn't vote for Biden for reelection.
“We just were so busy focused on getting (Donald) Trump out of here that we took anything,” Comfort said. “But who else can really run that you trust anyway? So, no matter what, it’s like you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t.”
These voters made a “political calculus,” said Maurice Mitchell, national director of the progressive Working Families Party. That was in their best interest -- both to allow Democrats to advance their economic agenda and to reject GOP extremism -- but that doesn’t mean they’ll make the same decision in 2024.
“I don’t think it makes sense for Democrats to take these voters for granted,” Mitchell said. “What Democrats, what the president should be doing is every single day demonstrating to those voters that they’re going to push as hard as possible for their interests.”
Biden spent much of his State of the Union address this week focusing on so-called kitchen table economic issues that could appeal to voters in a reelection campaign. That approach was successful for some Democrats last year who sought to draw a clear contrast to their Republican opponents.
For example, John Fetterman's campaign flipped Pennsylvania's Senate seat by intentionally focusing on him as an individual -- not any other Democrat -- and his specific opponent, according to Brendan McPhillips, who managed Fetterman's campaign. Fetterman defeated Republican Mehmet Oz, a celebrity surgeon endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
There may have been underlying frustration with the president, McPhillips said, but “I don’t think it’s the same thing as looking at the Democratic Party or the president side-by-side to the alternative” and choosing the alternative.
In Pennsylvania, the vast majority of voters for Fetterman and Shapiro said they were very concerned that Oz and Republican candidate for governor Doug Mastriano were too extreme. That included the voters who disapproved of Biden.
About 2 in 10 of those who disapproved of Biden yet supported the Pennsylvania Democrats said they did so because they “mostly oppose” the other candidates.
Republican strategists suggest voters with this set of attitudes could defect with the right candidate on the ticket.
In Arizona, this cohort of voters similarly rejected Republican candidates for governor, Kari Lake, and Senate, Blake Masters, both of whom sowed doubt about the results of the 2020 election.
Republican strategist Barrett Marson in Arizona was not surprised by the findings -- he himself voted for Democrat Katie Hobbs for governor despite not being a fan of Biden.
“Up and down the ballot, throughout the country, we saw Republican candidates who were far, far, far outside the mainstream of thought,” he said, and they did not appeal to more moderate voters.
This group of swing voters isn’t going away, said Lorna Romero Ferguson, also a Republican strategist in Arizona. Republicans instead will have to “learn from 2022 and focus on a nominee from the primary who can actually win statewide,” she said.
“That voter bloc is going to be less inclined to just be a party loyalist,” said Romero Ferguson. “People have to earn their votes.”
Emilee Brewer, a 21-year-old college student from Bangor, Pennsylvania, identifies as a moderate Republican. She voted for Trump in 2020, but since the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, she's felt frustrated with the Republican Party and its nominees.
She chose to back Democrats for governor and for U.S. House in 2022 over their Republican opponents.
“I chose the better candidate,” she said. “If the Republican Party wants to continue to grow and be better, we need to realize that we need to elect better candidates.”
No matter who the GOP nominates for president, Biden will have to overcome serious doubts not just about his performance but about his capability and character as well.
Just 15% of voters for Democratic House candidates who disapproved of Biden described him as a strong leader. About half said Biden doesn’t care about people like them, and two-thirds thought he lacks the mental capability to serve effectively as president.
Tyya Strong, a 24-year-old liberal living in West Chester, Pennsylvania, voted for Democrats last year. She often chooses Democrats because they are the “lesser of the two evils,” said Strong, who owns a marketing business.
She voted for Biden in 2020 and would vote for him again but thinks he’s “not as fit as he could be.”
“He’s not the vice president we had when (Barack) Obama was elected. He’s aged,” Strong said. “I think he’s doing a pretty fair job, but ... maybe sit the next one out.”

CONTRA COSTA CO., Calif. (KRON) — Ahead of a few days of wet weather in the Bay Area, public works crews in Contra Costa County tended to the roads on Wednesday.
Crews were dispatched to trouble areas clearing what could be cleared before the storms roll in. “Every year during the winter, loose material comes down the slopes and into our roadside ditch,” said Chris Lau with public works.
Crews focused on an unincorporated county stretch of San Pablo Dam Road. “The concrete ditch is there for draining the roadway as well as the slope. So, whenever slide material comes down, it fills the ditch and reduces the capacity of the ditch,” said Lau.
Historically, mud and landslides in the area have stopped traffic on what is already a windy and narrow thoroughfare. Lau said this is considered routine work during the fall in preparation of winter storms.

“This won’t prevent the slides. We’re just a mitigation effort to reduce the amount of material that could potentially come down,” said Lau. While crews tended to public areas, residents are encouraged to chip in around their homes.
“We know that the leaves are changing colors and falling. So, anything that residents can do to help clear the leaves, preventing it from going into the roadway and ultimately down into our storm drains where they can get clogged up and reduce the capacity of our storm drain systems — anything residents can do to help, that would be great,” said Lau.

Las Cruces-area home-sale decline began in April
The year began as did countless others before it, with a relatively low number of contracts signed and expectations of increased sales as the year progressed. All went as planned — for a month. The 219 purchase agreements for new and existing single-family homes purchased in February marked a 12-unit increase over the 207 contracts signed in January. Then came March, when once again 219 purchase agreements were signed. What was unknown at the time is that March and April would represent our area’s peak months of the year for newly minted sale agreements.
Beginning in April and continuing to this day, the number of buyers and sellers signing purchase agreements steadily declined. In November, the latest month for which statistics are available, just 135 homebuyers signed up to purchase single-family homes (condos and townhomes occupy a separate category). As the number of signed purchase agreements declined throughout the year, so would the number of closings 30-60 days into the future. After registering 186 closings in January, the number of closed sales continued to rise each month until hitting this year’s peak production in April. The number of closed sales then began to fall, from April’s 217 to just 120 in November.
Our inventory of unsold single-family homes began the year at 240 units in January, before reaching its peak of 337 homes for sale on December 12, the date this column was penned. During the same period, the median price (where half sold for more and half sold for less) fluctuated between $279,500 in January to $303,000 in October. The median price fell to $279,250 in November.
There was a time when what was happening in Las Cruces trailed what was taking place in other parts of the country by roughly one year. Today, what’s happening in Las Cruces is mirroring what’s happening throughout the country in real time.
See you at closing!

First Alert Forecast: Fall-like weather continues before late week warm up
Frost potential East River Tonight
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -- If you have been enjoying the seasonable temperatures as of late, that will continue for another day or two before we see a bump up in temperatures to end the week.
Tuesday looks pretty good with light winds and a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Highs top out in the mid 60s to low to mid 70s, which is near to a few degrees below average for the 27th of September.
It’ll be a chilly night tonight with a clear to partly cloudy and a light wind turning from the east and northeast to the south and southeast overnight thanks to high pressure sliding east. Winds will be light to calm east and 5-15 mph in central South Dakota. Lows drop back into the 30s and 40s, and there’s a chance of frost along and east of the James River with the highest chance along and east of I-29.
The end of the week will be quiet with a clear to partly cloudy sky and breezy southerly to southeasterly winds, so we’ll need to monitor for the potential for fire weather concerns yet again. Highs bounce back into the mid to upper 70s with 80s west of the James River.
As far as rain chances go, a weak system could bring a few isolated showers Friday night and also a slight chance of rain is possible Sunday, but unfortunately, most models show these chances to remain isolated at best and rain totals will remain under a tenth of an inch over the next seven days.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Sean Crocker’s chip-in eagle on the par-5 18th hole gave him a two-stroke lead headed into the final round at the Hero Open.
The American, bidding for his first European tour title, finished at 3-under 69 on Saturday to keep Jens Dantorp of Sweden two shots behind after three rounds at Fairmont St. Andrews.
Crocker, who started the day with a one-shot lead, moved to 18 under for the tournament as he goes for a wire-to-wire win.
“That was a nice little bonus on 18. I was trying to get it up and down for (birdie) but to see that ball drop was pretty cool,” said Crocker, who was born in Zimbabwe and raised in California.
He ran into trouble on the par-4 13th when he was in the thick rough after two shots and near a wall. He took a drop and settled for a double bogey.
He thought about playing it, though.
“Every time I got near that ball I just could see bad things happening,” he said. “We made the right decision there by taking the drop.”
Dantorp is alone in second after a bogey-free 69.
Adrian Otaegui (64) and David Law (65) are both three shots off the lead.
“It’s nice to have a little bit of room but I also know those gaps can be closed very quickly,” Crocker said. “It’s been a long time since I’ve held something shiny. It would be a nice little present.”

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Emergency services used a sonar-equipped boat Tuesday in the hunt for the wreckage of a small airplane that crashed over the weekend in a waterway that is part of the busy port of Rotterdam and two people on board, as police in Norway said the two people missing were Norwegians.
The identities of those on board the plane haven't been released. Police in Norway told broadcaster NRK in Norway that two Norwegian citizens are missing after the crash. Another broadcaster, TV2, said a school has confirmed that one of those missing was a student living in the Norwegian city of Bergen.
The type of plane that disappeared after the crash Sunday night over a canal between the port and a North Sea beach was not known. Pieces of wreckage and traces of oil were found Sunday, but the remains of the plane and the two people on board haven't been found despite an intensive search operation.
Broadcaster NRK said that the plane took off Sunday morning from Bergen, is registered in Spain but has Norwegian owners. Dutch authorities have said that it last took off from eastern Germany and was heading for France.
There has been no word on the cause of the crash. Local security authorities said Sunday they believed it was an accident and that police were investigating.

LAS VEGAS — No team in over 25 years has been more dominant than the Vegas Golden Knights through the first two games of a Stanley Cup Final.
They have outscored the Florida Panthers by eight goals, including Monday night’s 7-2 victory in Game 2 that put the Knights two wins from the first championship in the franchise's short six-year history.
It will take a rare rally for the Panthers to come back as the series shifts to Florida for Game 3 on Thursday. Teams that took a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final are 31-3 in the expansion era, but the Panthers opened the playoffs by storming back from 3-1 down to beat the heavily favored Boston Bruins.
Florida will have to significantly up its level of play to beat a Vegas team that won by three goals on Saturday and then five in this game. The last team to win the first two games of a Cup Final by more than eight combined goals was the 1996 Colorado Avalanche — who outscored the Panthers by nine.

“I think our depth has been a strength all year,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “It is the biggest reason we are still here, why we beat Winnipeg, Edmonton, Dallas. I just feel that we have the best team from player one through 20.”
Jonathan Marchessault scored twice for the Knights and started an early blitz that chased Sergei Bobrovsky, the NHL’s hottest postseason goalie.
Marchessault also had an assist to finish with three points. His 12 postseason goals set a Golden Knights record, with all of them coming after the first round. The only player with more following the opening round was Pavel Bure, who scored 13 for Vancouver in 1994.
“They want to set the tone with being undisciplined like Game 1 and we set the tone back,” Marchessault said. “It was scoring that first goal there. But we’re still pretty far from our goal here.”
Brett Howden scored twice for the Knights, who also got goals from Alec Martinez, Nicolas Roy and Michael Amadio. Six players had at least two points for Vegas, all 18 Knights skaters were on the ice for even-strength goals and their nine goal scorers through the first two games are a Stanley Cup Final record. The Knights' seven goals tied a franchise mark for a playoff game.
It was too much for Bobrovsky, who was removed 7:10 into the second period down 4-0. It was the fifth time in 12 games the Knights have chased the opposing goalie.
Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, carried Florida through the Eastern Conference playoffs. Coming into the Stanley Cup Final, he had won 11 of his past 12 starts with a 1.95 goals-against average and .942 save percentage during that stretch. But he's given up eight goals in 87 minutes against Vegas, compiling a 5.52 GAA and .826 save percentage in the series.
“We can be a little better in front of our goaltender,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “I got him out to keep him rested.”
Matthew Tkachuk and Anton Lundell scored for Florida.
Adin Hill continued his stellar play in net with 29 saves for the Knights. Hill once again brought his feistiness as well as his A-game. He stopped Carter Verhaeghe on a breakaway in the first, and later that period hit Tkachuk, who was in his net, with his blocker and then slashed him with his stick.
“He’s been unreal for us,” Vegas forward William Carrier said. “He’s been unbelievable.”
A group of four fans behind one of the nets wore sweaters that spelled out his last name, and Hill has often received the loudest cheers from Knights fans, reminiscent of when Marc-Andre Fleury was in goal for Vegas in its first three seasons.
“It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing hockey," Hill said. “I’m just enjoying it, cherishing every day. It’s been awesome to be part of the journey with this team.”
The Knights were dominant early, taking a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals from Marchessault and Martinez. It was Vegas’ third game in a row with a power-play goal, its first such stretch since Christmas week.
The Panthers lost their biggest, toughest defenseman early in the game when Radko Gudas was injured on a hit by Vegas forward Ivan Barbashev. Gudas left 6:39 in and did not return.
That was one of several big hits by Barbashev, the Golden Knights’ biggest trade-deadline acquisition, a Stanley Cup champion with St. Louis in 2019. Barbashev broke the sternum of Colorado defenseman Samuel Girard during the playoffs last year, also on a clean hit.
Vegas had its own scare late in the second period when Jack Eichel was nailed in the right shoulder by Tkachuk. Eichel returned in the third and set up Marchessault’s second goal for his second assist of the game.
“We did a good job managing momentum tonight,” Eichel said. “And we got some timely goals.”

(The Hill) – The Justice Department has found an “insider witness” as investigators probe former President Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to a new report.
The New York Times, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that the unidentified person now cooperating confidentially with the investigation has worked for Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
According to the report, the scope of how the insider witness has helped the federal prosecutors is not yet clear, nor is the timeline of the person’s cooperation, but the witness reportedly gave investigators a picture of the storage room where some materials were held.
The investigation, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, has shown signs of intensifying. The new insider witness, the Times reports, appears as part of a broader effort to figure out whether Trump personally ordered boxes of the sensitive material to be moved out of the storage room.
Investigators are looking into whether Trump failed or refused to comply with the government’s requests for certain records to be returned after the end of Trump’s tenure in the White House, as is required under the Presidential Records Act.
After the DOJ subpoenaed Trump for the documents that were believed to still be in his possession, FBI agents last summer executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago and recovered classified documents.
The Times also reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, that “nearly everyone” who works at Mar-a-Lago has been subpoenaed in the probe.
The inquiry into the former president’s document handling is one of two probes into the former president led by Smith. The second investigation focuses on efforts by Trump and his allies to interfere with the transfer of power after the former president lost his reelection bid in 2020.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — A ban on dozens of semi-automatic rifles cleared the Washington state Legislature on Wednesday and the governor is expected to sign it into law.
The high-powered firearms — once banned nationwide — are now the weapon of choice among young men responsible for most of the country’s devastating mass shootings.
The ban comes after multiple failed attempts in the state’s Legislature, and amid the most mass shootings during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009.
The Washington law would block the sale, distribution, manufacture and importation of more than 50 gun models, including AR-15s, AK-47s and similar style rifles. These guns fire one bullet per trigger pull and automatically reload for a subsequent shot. Some exemptions are included for sales to law enforcement agencies and the military in Washington. The measure does not bar the possession of the weapons by people who already have them.
The law would go into effect immediately once it’s signed by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee, who has long advocated for such a ban. When the bill passed the state House in March, Inslee said he’s believed it since 1994 when, as a member of the U.S. Congress, he voted to make the ban a federal law.
After the bill passed, Inslee said the state of Washington “will not accept gun violence as normal.”
Inslee said lives will be saved because of the semi-automatic rifle ban and two other measures approved by the Legislature this session: one that introduced a 10-day waiting period for gun purchases and another to hold gunmakers liable for negligent sales.
Republican state lawmakers opposed the ban, with some contending school shootings should be addressed by remodeling buildings to make them less appealing as targets and others saying it infringes on people’s rights to defend themselves.
“HB 1240 clearly violates our state and federal constitutions, which is why it will end up in court immediately,” Sen. Lynda Wilson of Vancouver said.
The U.S. Congress reinstating a ban on semi-automatic rifles appears far off. But President Joe Biden and other Democrats have become increasingly emboldened in pushing for stronger gun controls — and doing so with no clear electoral consequences.
Nine states including California, New York and Massachusetts, along with the District of Columbia, have already passed similar bans, and the laws have been upheld as constitutional by the courts, according to Washington’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
In Colorado, lawmakers debated on Wednesday about similar gun measures, but a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms faces stiffer odds.
Lawmakers in the Texas Capitol set aside a slate of proposed new gun restrictions without a vote after hours of emotional appeals from Uvalde families whose children were killed last year. The hearing didn’t end until the early morning hours Wednesday.
During debate on the Washington state bill, Democrats spoke of frequent mass shootings that have killed people in churches, nightclubs, grocery stores and schools.
Sen. Liz Lovelett of Anacortes said that kids’ concerns about school shootings need to be addressed.
“They are marching in the streets. They are asking for us to take action,” Lovelett said. “We have to be able to give our kids reasons to feel hopeful.”
Another gun-control bill that passed in Washington this session would allow people whose family members die from gun violence to sue if a manufacturer or seller “is irresponsible in how they handle, store or sell those weapons.” Under the state’s consumer-protection act, the attorney general could file a lawsuit against manufacturers or sellers for negligently allowing their guns to be sold to minors, or to people buying guns legally in order to sell them to someone who can’t lawfully have them.
A second bill would require gun buyers to show they’ve taken safety training. It would also impose a 10-day waiting period for all gun purchases — something that’s already mandatory in Washington when buying a semi-automatic rifle.
Some gun-control legislation in other states has been struck down since last year’s landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which set new standards for reviewing the nation’s gun laws. The ruling says the government must justify gun control laws by showing they are “consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

Program Supported by Target Recognizes New Orleans (LA), Irving (TX) and Central Falls (RI)
RENO, Nev., June 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, in partnership with Target, announced the winners of this year's Police Reform and Racial Justice Grant Program: New Orleans (LA), Irving (TX), and Central Falls (RI). The program aims to identify, promote, and support police policies and practices that cities of all sizes are finding to be most effective in advancing the goal of justice for all residents.
In the second year of this competitive grant program, judges named one winner in each of the program's large (over 300,000), mid-sized (100,000 – 300,000) and small (under 100,000) population categories. The three winning cities will share in this year's total of $350,000 in grant funds.
Police Reform and Racial Justice Grant Winners
- Large City Award: New Orleans – Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD)
Currently operating out of the Police Department's 8th District, this initiative targets individuals who cycle in and out of the criminal legal system. Street-level client-centered handling of those involved in non-violent municipal offenses related to substance use, serious mental illness, and trauma has produced significant drops in police summons, arrests, and average time spent in jail. The $175,000 grant awarded will be applied to the City's goal of expanding LEAD services and taking the program city-wide. - Mid-Sized City Award: Irving, TX – Shop Talk
Developed by the Police Department in 2016 in the wake of the murder of five police officers, the Shop Talk program is an outreach initiative involving random, impromptu visits by officers to barbershops in the African American community and wide-ranging discussions of patrons' issues and concerns that improve community relations and develop trust. Supported by barbershop owners, the program now includes 30 shops and additional salons, 100 police officers, and a licensed clinical social worker to help barbers identify patrons who may be in need of mental health services. The $100,000 grant award will be applied to the expansion of the program into other minority communities and to creation of additional program events and enhancements. - Small City Award: Central Falls, RI – The Leading Ladies Initiative
Serving a city in which high percentages of children live in below-poverty-level families and attend schools with high dropout rates, The Central Falls Police Department engages community-minded women with diverse professional backgrounds to serve as mentors for underserved teenage girls, advising them on preparation for higher education, interviews, and obstacles likely to be encountered along the way. The experience includes mentors and girls shopping together for clothing appropriate for the workplace and having lunch or dinner in a local restaurant. The $75,000 grant will be applied to program expansion, the addition of boys, tutoring, and scholarships.
"At Target, we're proud to sponsor the Police Reform and Racial Justice Grant Program because we believe we all have a role to play in creating spaces where our team members, guests and communities feel safe," said Target's Laysha Ward. "This year's winners are proof of what can happen through partnership. By working together to achieve racial equity and social justice, we can move our communities and our country forward by offering opportunity, hope and progress for all Americans."
"We continue to be grateful for our partnership with Target as we recognize and support cities that are putting in the work to achieve greater racial justice and strengthen the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve," said Tom Cochran, CEO and Executive Director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "There is no doubt that these grants will help mayors build on their efforts to create lasting change in their cities."
"On behalf of the City of New Orleans, it is an honor to have been selected as a winner of the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Police Reform and Racial Justice Grant Program," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. "We are thrilled to receive this grant as we continue our focus on advancing community safety through proven initiatives that help those who have been overly incarcerated and possess underlying and unmet behavioral health needs. This client-centered approach and investment to our community will allow us to identify additional essential services through a racial equity lens and target the specific needs of some of our most vulnerable residents who are overrepresented in the carceral system. This grant will also afford us with an opportunity to expand our Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program to better meet our people where they are. Thank you again for recognizing our hard work and the accomplishments of the New Orleans LEAD program."
"Shop Talk started with a very simple idea: to build relationships and trust between Irving Police and the African American community," said Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer. "Over the years, Officer Plunkett has worked to expand the program and truly develop meaningful connections. I am so proud of the positive impact Shop Talk has had and appreciate the recognition and USCM/Target Police Reform and Racial Justice Grant to continue growing the program in Irving."
"Our City's Leading Ladies Initiative, in partnership with our Central Falls Police Department, will connect dozens of high school students who are at-risk with powerful and inspiring one-on-one female mentors, many of whom are leaders of color, just like our students. From CEOs to statewide elected officials to police officers, this leadership development initiative will provide students with first-hand professional mentorship experience, while simultaneously instilling
necessary awareness and confidence to navigate racial and misogynistic hurdles they will likely face and overcome throughout their careers," said Central Falls Mayor Maria Rivera. "I want to
thank Target for the incredible funding that's making this initiative possible, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors for giving our City the platform to highlight this important work."
Summary descriptions of the winning programs, along with the balance of the 32 programs submitted by cities in this second round of the grant competition, have been posted on the Conference of Mayors website under the Center for Compassionate and Equitable Cities. The goal is to share with all mayors information on the approaches to police reform being taken or planned by their colleagues throughout the U.S.

This story has been updated.
Last year included a chaotic summer of air travel and a winter storm that caused thousands of flights to be canceled or delayed before and after Christmas. Southwest Airlines drew intense scrutiny for its inability to get travelers to their destinations.
Most recently, United Airlines canceled hundreds of flights ahead of the July 4 holiday due to weather and equipment issues, affecting about 150,000 travelers.
If you’re an unlucky flyer who ends up stuck this summer, we compiled a guide for what to do if your flight gets canceled and how to get a refund you are owed.
If your flight gets canceled
The bad news is your flight has been canceled. The good news is the airline owes you a refund; Department of Transportation regulations entitle you to one, regardless of the reason your flight was canceled. DOT released an online dashboard last year to show travelers a quick view of what airlines offer for passengers affected by cancellations and delays.
But be warned: Accepting the canceled flight, getting your money back and starting from scratch may put you in a position of scrambling for a more expensive flight, if you can find one at all. Then there’s the risk that your new flight may be canceled or delayed. You may want to reschedule your flight with the airline instead of going for the refund.
1/5
More bad news if a flight is canceled: It may take a long time to get rescheduled, especially during peak travel periods when flights are already packed. Some small airlines don’t have multiple flights a day, or might only fly a few days a week.
“When they cancel one of those remaining flights, the number of empty seats on what remains in their schedule is small,” said Robert W. Mann, a consultant and former airline executive. He said travelers who do get on an alternate flight may end up having to stop or connect multiple times rather than flying direct.
While some airlines might be willing to put a passenger on another carrier, that’s not always a choice, Mann said — and some airlines don’t have the relationships with competitors to do that.
“It would cost them actual money to do that,” Mann said. “They’d rather have you take their travel voucher or their subpar alternate schedule that they offer you.”
If you want to request a refund, brace yourself for more delays. Getting a cash refund from airlines can be difficult — like, very difficult. In fact, DOT recently cracked down on wrongful denials and returned $600 million in refunds back to tens of thousands ofpassengers.
While the airline will likely offer you a flight credit or voucher first, stay persistent if you really want your refund; it’s your right.
If your flight gets delayed
You may not know your flight is going to be delayed or rescheduled until the last minute — maybe even after you have arrived at the airport. Katherine Estep, a spokeswoman for the advocacy group Airlines For America, recommends downloading your carrier’s app to get immediate updates on your flight schedule.
Airlines are not required by law to refund travelers for delays; each airline has its own policy. But if your flight gets significantly delayed and you choose not to fly, you are entitled to a refund, per DOT regulations. However, every airline has a different definition of “significant.” You will have to check with your carrier to find out if you’re eligible, which can also depend on the circumstances of the delay. Even if you’re not, you may be able to get compensation for the disruption. Ask the airline if you are eligible for a meal voucher or a hotel room for the night while you wait.
Don’t like the rebooked flight? “Keep an eye on backup plans,” said Going founder Scott Keyes. “If your flight were to get canceled, what are flights that this airline has that would work for me and my schedule?”
Once you have picked a new flight that works for you, get on the phone with customer service and request it specifically.
“That’s going to be much more fruitful than saying, ‘My flight got canceled, what do I do?’” Keyes said.
If you want to be protected
There are a few things you can do to put yourself in a better position for this uncertain time of flying.
Protecting yourself starts when you book the flight. Brian Kelly, the founder and chief executive of The Points Guy, recommends booking your flights with frequent flier miles.
“Most airline frequent-flier programs will actually refund your points and taxes and fees, so it’s kind of like buying a refundable ticket,” Kelly said. “They give you maximum flexibility.”
Look for nonstop flights to your destination that depart earlier in the day. You will have fewer variables to deal with, and should something go wrong, you’ll have more rerouting options than if you were departing later.
Martin Nolan, a traveler rights expert at Skyscanner, recommends booking a flight with a flexible fare that allows for a free date or destination change. He also suggests booking travel with a credit card that offers extra protections. A good credit card company will go to bat for you if you are struggling to get a rightfully owed refund.
Adit Damodaran, economist at the travel booking app Hopper, says it is wise to prepare for the worst by padding your trip with some buffer time if you’re traveling for a special event. Don’t cut your arrival too close; find a flight a day before in case there is a delay or cancellation. Hopper also has “Rebooking Protection Services,” allowing travelers to fly on another airline if there is a disruption.
Keyes strongly urges travelers to skip checking a bag.
“If you have checked a bag and then you get to the gate and your flight gets canceled or delayed, it’s going to be more difficult to get switched to a different flight,” he said. “If there’s another flight that’s leaving 15 minutes from now or 20 minutes from now, your bag is not going to make it.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – While there are plenty of Lobo basketball players set to begin their first season at the University of New Mexico, one newcomer, in particular, is on campus and ready to begin his 7th season of college basketball.
“Yeah, my journey, it’s been unique,” said Jemarl Baker. “Even though it’s been unfortunate at times, I wouldn’t go back, I wouldn’t change anything, it’s been great.”
First-year guard Jemarl Baker Jr. comes to UNM in his final year of eligibility after spending time with some of the premier programs in the county. Baker began his collegiate career at Kentucky and was a member of the Wildcats’ 2019 Elite 8 run, but injuries forced him to move around the country after his second year. Following his departure from Lexington, Baker transferred to Arizona, where he spent two years, and then he spent two years at Fresno State.
While his on-court resume is impressive, injuries have derailed his career in a way that forced constant chance. During his six previous seasons of college ball, he was only in full health for the offseason. There has been a lack of consistency, but never a lack of motivation.
“Even though the injuries and stuff like that, I just continued to fight, because it would have been easy for me to quit and stop playing after, I mean I am going into my 7th year, I could have stopped at year five or year four.”
Baker, a 6-5 guard, brings size to the perimeter and looks to be the third guard in coach Pitino’s offense. While it’s still early in the process, his leadership skills are already on display.
“I have been playing basketball for a long time, I have had different roles for a long time on different teams, and no matter where they put me, I will be able to make an impact.”

As Amazon grows, so does its eye on consumers
(AP) - From what you buy online, to how you remember tasks, to when you monitor your doorstep, Amazon is seemingly everywhere.
And it appears the company doesn’t want to halt its reach anytime soon. In recent weeks, Amazon has said it will spend billions of dollars in two gigantic acquisitions that, if approved, will broaden its ever growing presence in the lives of consumers.
This time, the company is targeting two areas: health care, through its $3.9 billion buyout of the primary care company One Medical, and the “smart home,” where it plans to expand its already mighty presence through a $1.7 billion merger with iRobot, the maker of the popular robotic Roomba vacuum.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a company known for its vast collection of consumer information, both mergers have heightened enduring privacy concerns about how Amazon gathers data and what it does with it. The latest line of Roombas, for example, employ sensors that map and remember a home’s floor plan.
“It’s acquiring this vast set of data that Roomba collects about people’s homes,” said Ron Knox, an Amazon critic who works for the anti-monopoly group Institute for Local Self-Reliance. “Its obvious intent, through all the other products that it sells to consumers, is to be in your home. (And) along with the privacy issues come the antitrust issues, because it’s buying market share.”
Amazon’s reach goes well beyond that. Some estimates show the retail giant controls roughly 38% of the U.S. e-commerce market, allowing it to gather granular data about the shopping preferences of millions of Americans and more worldwide. Meanwhile, its Echo devices, which house the voice assistant Alexa, have dominated the U.S. smart speaker market, accounting for roughly 70% of sales, according to estimates by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.
Ring, which Amazon purchased in 2018 for $1 billion, monitors doorsteps and helps police track down crime — even when users might not be aware. And at select Amazon stores and Whole Foods, the company is testing a palm-scanning technology that allows customers to pay for items by storing biometric data in the cloud, sparking concerns about risks of a data breach, which Amazon has attempted to assuage.
“We treat your palm signature just like other highly sensitive personal data and keep it safe using best-in-class technical and physical security controls,” the company said on a website that provides information about the technology.
Even consumers who actively avoid Amazon are still likely to have little say about how their employers power their computer networks, which Amazon — along with Google — has long dominated through its cloud-computing service AWS.
“It’s hard to think of another organization that has as many touch points as Amazon does to an individual,” said Ian Greenblatt, who heads up tech research at the consumer research and data analytics firm J.D. Power. “It’s almost overwhelming, and it’s hard to put a finger on it.”
And Amazon — like any company — aims to grow. In the past few years, the company has purchased the Wi-Fi startup Eero and partnered with the construction company Lennar to offer tech-powered houses. With iRobot, it would gain one more building block for the ultimate smart home — and, of course, more data.
Customers can opt out of having iRobot devices store a layout of their homes, according to the vacuum maker. But data privacy advocates worry the merger is another way Amazon could suck up information to integrate into its other devices or use to target consumers with ads.
In a statement, Amazon spokesperson Lisa Levandowski denied that’s what the company wants to do.
“We do not use home maps for targeted advertising and have no plans to do so,” Levandowski said.
Whether that will relieve concerns is another matter, especially in light of research about Amazon’s other devices. Earlier this year, a group of university researchers released a report that found voice data from Amazon’s Echo devices are used to target ads to consumers — something the company had denied in the past.
Umar Iqbal, a postdoc at the University of Washington who led the research, said he and his colleagues found Echo devices running third-party Skills, which are like apps for Alexa, that communicate with advertisers.
Levandowski said consumers can opt out of receiving “interest-based” ads by adjusting their preferences on Amazon’s advertising preferences page. She also said Amazon doesn’t share Alexa requests with advertising networks.
Skills that collect personal information are required to post their privacy policies on a detail page in Amazon’s store, according to the company. Researchers, however, found only 2% of Skills are clear about their data collection practices, and the vast majority don’t mention Alexa or Amazon at all.
For companies like Amazon, data collection is for more than just data’s sake, noted Kristen Martin, a professor of technology ethics at the University of Notre Dame.
“You can almost see them just trying to paint a broader picture of an individual,” Martin said. “It’s about the inferences that they’re able to draw about you specifically, and then you compared to other people.”
Amazon’s One Medical deal, for instance, has sparked questions about how the company would handle personal health data that would fall into its lap.
Should the deal close, Levandowski said customers’ health information will be handled separately from all other Amazon businesses. She also added Amazon wouldn’t share personal health information outside of One Medical for “advertising or marketing purposes of other Amazon products and services without clear permission from the customer.”
But Lucia Savage, a chief privacy officer at the chronic care provider Omada Health, said that doesn’t mean One Medical wouldn’t be able to get data from other arms of Amazon’s business that could help it better profile its patients. The information just has to flow one way, she said.
To be sure, privacy concerns are not limited to Amazon. In the aftermath of Roe v Wade being overturned, for instance, Google said it would automatically get rid of information about users who visit abortion clinics amid pressure from Democratic lawmakers. Meanwhile, Meta, which owns Facebook, settled a class action lawsuit in February over its use of “cookies” about a decade ago that tracked users after they logged off Facebook.
But unlike Meta and Google, whose focus is mainly on selling ads, Amazon might benefit more from collecting data because its primary goal is to sell products, said Alex Harman, director of competition policy at the anti-monopoly group Economic Security Project.
“For them, data is all about getting you to buy more and be locked into their stuff,” Harman said.

The newest addition to the SOA's certificate program provides comprehensive professional education on climate risk management and measurement
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. and SEATTLE, Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society of Actuaries (SOA) and Milliman today announced the first certificate program focused on measuring and managing climate risk for actuaries. This Climate Risk Certificate Program pairs the risk management acumen of actuaries with the interdisciplinary expertise necessary to manage the complexity of climate risk.
The Climate Risk Certificate Program is designed for actuaries and others who work in the fields of life, health or general insurance, pensions or finance and investments. Certification requires completion of six out of ten self-paced, online learning courses. Participants also have the option to take individual courses such as "Climate Risk Fundamentals" as a standalone course or as an introduction to the program. This course provides foundational scientific knowledge along with an overview of climate risk assessment, mitigation and adoption strategies.
Participants will gain knowledge on qualitative and quantitative measurement of risks due to extreme climate events and will hone their ability to communicate to insights about potential climate impacts. The program will open for enrollment in early 2023.
"Climate risk assessment has become a critical business need and societal focus, and actuaries continue to provide research and insights to manage and measure climate risk," stated SOA CEO Greg Heidrich. "Through this collaboration with Milliman, this critical certificate program will provide learners with focused training to measure and manage the complex challenges of climate risk."
The Climate Risk Certificate Program will include an interdisciplinary curriculum and content led by Milliman experts and a certification process led by the SOA. In-depth subject matter expertise will be actuarial, financial, clinical, technological and scientific in nature. The program will include training with assessments and interactive activities along with instructor-led virtual office hours.
"Climate risk is complex and interconnected," said Milliman Chairman Ken Mungan, FSA, MAAA. If the extreme weather events of the last few years have taught us anything, it's that we need a diverse team and broad collaborations to make sure people are prepared and protected. This certification program will help ensure that those earning this certificate remain on the forefront of managing this ever-evolving risk."
The Climate Risk Certificate is part of the SOA's best-in-class education programs that offer hands-on practical instruction on timely topics. Other SOA certificates include Predictive Analytics, International Financial Reporting for Insurers (IFRI) and Ethical and Responsible Use of Data and Predictive Models.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Parents of victims and survivors of the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde will appear before a House committee next week in an effort to bring home the devastation of America’s gun violence epidemic.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, said Friday the hearing will examine the human impact of gun violence and the urgency for lawmakers to enact gun control legislation.
“It is my hope that all my colleagues will listen with an open heart as gun violence survivors and loved ones recount one of the darkest days of their lives,” Maloney said in a statement. “This hearing is ultimately about saving lives, and I hope it will galvanize my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass legislation to do just that.”
The panel for Wednesday’s hearing will include testimony from the mother of a 20-year-old man who was shot in a racist mass shooting last month in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, as well as the parents of a 10-year-old girl shot and killed in her elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, 12 days later.
The panel will also hear from Miah Cerrillo, a fourth-grader who covered herself in her dead classmate’s blood and played dead to survive the shooting rampage in Uvalde. The committee said the testimonies will take place either in person or virtually.
The announcement of the hearing comes days after the Oversight Committee launched an investigation into five leading manufacturers of the semi-automatic weapons used in both recent shootings. The committee, controlled by a Democratic majority, is no stranger to examining gun violence in America. But the recent spate of killings has reached a boiling point on Capitol Hill and around the country.
It also comes a day after President Joe Biden issued his strongest appeal yet for Congress to take action on guns as bipartisan talks are intensifying among a core group of senators.
The private discussions in the Senate, which is split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, are not expected to produce the kinds of sweeping reforms being considered by the Democratic-led House — which has approved expansive background checks legislation and will next turn to an assault weapons ban.
A House package debated Thursday — and approved by a committee, 25-19 — is less sweeping but includes a provision raising the required age for buying semi-automatic firearms to 21. It still faces slim chances in the Senate.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — More than 120 million Brazilians will vote Sunday in a highly polarized election that could determine if the country returns a leftist to the helm of the world’s fourth-largest democracy or keeps the far-right incumbent in office for another four years.
With polls opening at 8 a.m. Brasilia time, the race pits incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro against his political nemesis, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. There are nine other candidates, but their support pales to that for Bolsonaro and da Silva.
Recent opinion polls have given da Silva a commanding lead — the last Datafolha survey published Saturday found that 50% of respondents who intend to vote for a candidate said they would vote for da Silva, against 36% for Bolsonaro. The polling institute interviewed 12,800 people, with a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
Bolsonaro’s administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years.
But he has built a devoted base by defending traditional family values, rebuffing political correctness and presenting himself as protecting the nation from leftist policies that infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil.
A slow economic recovery has yet to reach the poor, with 33 million Brazilians going hungry despite higher welfare payments. Like several of its Latin American neighbors coping with high inflation and a vast number of people excluded from formal employment, Brazil is considering a shift to the political left.
Gustavo Petro in Colombia, Gabriel Boric in Chile and Pedro Castillo in Peru are among the left-leaning leaders in the region who have recently assumed power.
There is a chance da Silva could win in the first round, without need for a run-off on Oct. 30. For that to happen, he would need more than 50% of valid votes, which exclude spoiled and blank ballots. Brazil has more than 150 million eligible voters, and voting is mandatory, but abstention rates can reach as high as 20%.
An outright win would sharpen focus on the president’s reaction to the count given he has repeatedly questioned the reliability not just of opinion polls, but also of the electronic voting machines. Analysts fear he has laid the groundwork to reject results. At one point, Bolsonaro claimed to possess evidence of fraud, but never presented any, even after the electoral authority set a deadline to do so. He said as recently as Sept. 18 that if he doesn’t win in the first round, something must be “abnormal.”
The two frontrunners have key bases of support: evangelicals and white men for Bolsonaro, and women, minorities and the poor for da Silva.
Da Silva, 76, will vote in Sao Paulo state, where he was once a metalworker and union leader. He rose from poverty to the presidency and is credited with building an extensive social welfare program during his 2003-2010 tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class.
But he is also remembered for his administration’s involvement in vast corruption scandals that entangled politicians and business executives.
Da Silva's own convictions for corruption and money laundering led to 19 months imprisonment, sidelining him from the 2018 presidential race that polls indicated he had been leading against Bolsonaro. The Supreme Court later annulled da Silva’s convictions on the grounds that the judge was biased and colluded with prosecutors.
Bolsonaro, who will vote in Rio de Janeiro, grew up in a modest family before joining the army. He eventually turned to politics after being forced out of the military for openly pushing to raise servicemen’s pays. During his seven terms as a fringe lawmaker in Congress’ lower house, he regularly expressed nostalgia for the country’s two-decade military dictatorship.
His overtures to the armed forces have raised concern that his possible rejection of election results could be backed by top brass.
Traditionally, the armed forces' involvement in elections has been limited to carrying voting machines to isolated communities and beefing up security in violent regions. But this year, Bolsonaro suggested the military should conduct a parallel count of the ballots.
While that didn't materialize, the Defense Ministry said it will cross check results in over 380 polling stations across Brazil. Any citizen or entity is able to do the same, consulting a vote tally available at each station after ballot closure and online.
Because the vote is conducted electronically, preliminary results are usually out within minutes, with the final result available a few hours later. This year, all polls will close at 5 p.m. Brasilia time, regardless of areas that are in later time zones.

The average sale price of a home sold in Lafayette Parish last month was just shy of $300,000, data shows.
While the number of homes sold in the Acadiana region and Lafayette Parish remains behind last year’s pace — something that has not happened in years — people are paying more for homes, according to data from Bill Bacque with Market Scope Consulting.
Rising interest rates and lack of inventory has slowed the pace of homes sold, but the 435 homes sold in Lafayette Parish sold at a total dollar volume of nearly $130 million, pushing the average sale price to $297,927, a 17% hike from a year ago and an 11% bump from April.
In the region, 629 homes sold at an average price of $270,317, a 20% hike from a year ago. Total dollar volume for homes sold in the region topped $170 million.
Even with the significant bump in sales since the pandemic began when interest rates plummeted, the total dollar volume was never as high as it was last month. In May 2019, the average home sold in Lafayette Parish went for just under $240,000.
“The dollar volume of those sales continues to soar, indicating that buyers are continuing to maximize what they are buying as well as reflecting the overall increase in home prices that has accelerated over the past 2 ½ years,” Bacque wrote in his monthly report.
“The reasonable expectation of housing prognosticators was that the housing boom we’ve experienced over the past 2½ years was about to hit a wall. Actually, so far the market’s performance has been more akin to falling onto a soft feather pillow.”
Pending sales show that average price could climb even higher next month. In Lafayette Parish there were 409 homes under contract for an average sale price of $306,834.
The average sale price for a newly constructed home in Lafayette Parish was $298,375, up 15.6% from $258,169 last year.
Nationwide, the median home sale price was up 16% year over year to a record $400,999, according to Redfin, a national real estate firm. The median asking price of newly listed homes increased 17% year over year to $412,450.
The total number of homes sold continues to trail last year’s totals, both 3% behind in Lafayette Parish and the region. Yet the average sale price so far this year remains well ahead of last year’s pace with sale prices at 10% above in Lafayette Parish and 11% above in the region.
Homes are spending 11 fewer days on the market than a year ago, data shows. The average home for sale in the region and in Lafayette Parish has sold in 36 days.

TCEQ issues Ozone Action Days for parts of Texas
AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued Ozone Action Days for parts of Texas due to unhealthy amounts of ozone in the area.
TCEQ says Ozone Action Days will be in effect Sunday for the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Tyler-Longview areas. All areas except for Dallas-Fort Worth are expected to go back down to moderate levels of ozone for Monday and Tuesday.
The commission says that light winds, very hot temperatures, abundant afternoon sunshine, and/or elevated incoming background levels could be enough for ozone to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease such as asthma, children and teens, older adults, and people who are routinely active outdoors for six or more hours a day.
TCEQ recommends those who could be affected to reduce their exposure by choosing less strenuous activities or shortening the amount of active outdoor time.
Ozone could reach the upper end of the "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" range on the south to southwest sides of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the lower to middle end on the west to northwest sides of the El Paso area, and the lower end on the north side of the Austin area and in parts of the Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland-Odessa, Tyler-Longview, and Waco-Killeen areas.
Ozone could also reach the upper end of the "Moderate" range or possibly higher in parts of the Houston area; the middle to upper end in parts of the San Antonio area; and the lower to middle end in parts of the Big Bend and Bryan-College Station areas.
TCEQ says that fine particulate levels may also raise the daily PM2.5 AQI into the lower end of the "Moderate" range for urban locations, particularly the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Tyler-Longview, and Waco-Killeen areas and to the upper end of the "Good" range (perhaps with an isolated low "Moderate" or two) in parts of the Bryan-College Station and San Antonio areas.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U) investors who have suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Mar. 5, 2021 – May 10,2022

Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U) Securities Fraud Class Action:
During the Class Period, Defendants claimed that Unity's Audience Pinpointer tool - which was developed last year to enable the company and its customers to navigate ad delivery following Apple's changes to its app advertising policies - delivers strong returns on investment to customers without manual guesswork.
The complaint alleges Defendants misrepresented and concealed: (1) deficiencies in Unity's product platform reduced the accuracy of its machine learning technology; (2) the foregoing was likely to have a material negative impact on Unity's revenues; and (3) accordingly, Unity overstated its commercial and financial prospects for 2022.
On May 10, 2022, Unity announced its Q1 2022 financial results and reduced its fiscal 2022 guidance. Management blamed the reduction on "fault in our platform that resulted in reduced accuracy for our Audience Pinpointer tool," disclosed "we lost the value of a portion of our data, training data due in part to us ingesting bad data from a large customer," and quantified the ingestion as having a $110 million negative impact on Unity's 2022 revenues.
This news sent the price of Unity shares down $17.83, or down 37%, wiping out over $3 billion in shareholder value.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Defendants misrepresented the functionality of Unity's Audience Pinpointer tool," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Authorities in Alabama cast doubt Wednesday on the story of a woman who set off a frantic search when she disappeared for two days after calling 911 to report a toddler wandering on the highway. Carlee Russell told investigators she was abducted and forced into a car Thursday, but they have been unable to verify her account, police said.
The 25-year-old's return home Saturday prompted intense speculation about where she had been and what had happened to her.
Carlee Russell’s mother, Talitha Russell, told NBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday that her daughter was abducted and fought for her life when she disappeared.
But Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis cast doubt on that account at a news conference, saying detectives were still investigating her whereabouts, but had so far been “unable to verify most of Carlee's initial statement.”
She told detectives she was taken by a man who came out of the trees when she stopped to check on the child, put in a car and an 18-wheel truck, blindfolded and held at a home where a woman fed her cheese crackers, Derzis said. At some point, Carlee Russell said she was put in a vehicle again but managed to escape and run through the woods to her neighborhood.
In the days before her disappearance, she searched for information on her cellphone about Amber Alerts, a movie about a woman's abduction and a one-way bus ticket from Birmingham, Alabama, to Nashville, Tennessee, departing the day she disappeared. Her phone also showed she traveled about 600 yards while telling a 911 operator she was following a 3- or 4-year-old child in a diaper on the side of the highway, Derzis said. She has not talked to investigators a second time.
“I do think it’s highly unusual the day that someone gets kidnapped that seven or eight hours before that they’re searching the internet, Googling the movie ‘Taken’ about an abduction," Derzis said. "I find that very, very strange.”
Her family told police she was traumatized and not ready to talk again, he said.
“As you can see, there are many questions left to be answered, but only Carlee can provide those answers," he said, later adding, “We want to know the truth.”
Talitha Russell told “Today” her daughter was not in a “good state” when she got back and needed medical care. She said her daughter gave detectives a statement so they could “continue to pursue her abductor.”
“There were moments when she physically had to fight for her life, and there were moments when she had to mentally fight for her life,” Talitha Russell said.
Police said Tuesday that detectives did not uncover any evidence of a toddler walking on the interstate. Surveillance video from the Russells’ neighborhood showed Carlee Russell walking down the sidewalk alone before arriving at her home. She was conscious and talking when first responders arrived, and later treated and released from a hospital, police said.
Police have said Carlee Russell called a 911 operator Thursday night and then a relative and told both of them she saw a toddler in a diaper on the side of Interstate 459 and was stopping to check on him. Police played the 911 call at Wednesday's news conference.
When officers arrived at the location, they found her car, cellphone and wig but were unable to find her or a child in the area.
Talitha Russell told al.com last week that her daughter was headed home after leaving work and stopping to get food. Carlee Russell was on the phone with her brother's girlfriend when they lost contact.
“My son’s girlfriend heard her asking the child, ‘Are you OK?’ She never heard the child say anything but then she heard our daughter scream,’’ Talitha Russell said. “From there, all you hear on her phone is background noise from the interstate.”
A single witness reported possibly seeing a gray vehicle and a man standing outside Carlee Russell's vehicle, police have said.
Police said Tuesday that she also stopped for snacks on the way home, but none of the food was found in her car or with her cellphone and wig.
Hoover is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of Birmingham.

The 80s stay into midday through Thursday, rain and storms approach late week
Quiet weather through Thursday, but you can expect some rain for Friday and part of the weekend ahead of the next cool snap. Check the video forecast for the latest.
DRY AIR MEANS WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE
Thursday’s weather changes very little: cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon. The breeze may be a bit stronger (10-20 mph from the southwest), and some clouds gradually thicken from the west in the afternoon and evening. The real changes come in on Friday as a cold front moves into the region bringing showers and some storms.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK
Showers begin as early as Friday morning over western Alabama, but the best chance of rain and a few spotty (non-severe) thunderstorms comes Friday night into Saturday morning with a strong cold front.
More widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected Friday night, before exiting the area. Temps drop into the upper 50s to 60s Saturday and Sunday behind the front. Some frost may occur over the weekend, especially Sunday night into Monday morning.
It’s warm ahead of the front on Friday and Friday night, but it gets a lot cooler behind the front for Saturday and Sunday.
Here’s what you need to know about the rain:
- Most of North and Central Alabama (including Talladega Superspeedway) gets around 0.1” to 0.5” of rain between 9 PM Friday and 9 AM Saturday.
- No severe weather expected: just rain and some occasional lightning/thunder.
- Some drizzle may linger behind the main batch of rain through midday Saturday, but it starts drying out with a stiff northwest wind around 10-20 mph Saturday afternoon.
Sunday looks downright chilly; expect highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s after starting the morning in the 30s!
NEXT WEEK
The weather stays quiet and cool for Monday and Tuesday of next week. More chilly mornings: expect lows in the 30s and 40s both days with a high in the 60s. That’s well below normal for this time of year.
The next chance of rain sets up toward next Wednesday and Thursday, and as of now, it any threat of severe weather remains unclear. As always, we'll be keeping track of it to make sure you know of any risk as soon as it appears.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The playbook is the same for Malaysia’s grand old party.
Eyeing a strong comeback in a crowded election race on Nov. 19, the United Malays National Organization touted “stability and prosperity” in a manifesto laden with populist measures from tax cuts and cash aids to some reforms.
Once an omnipotent force credited with developing and modernizing Malaysia, anger over government corruption led to its unimaginable defeat in 2018 polls. It bounced back in 2020 as part of a new government, but ties with its allies soured and UMNO is seeking to regain its mandate.
In its favor is a fractured opposition and an electorate fed up with political turmoil, rising inflation and a slowing economy. On the flip side, UMNO faces a trust deficit after its top leaders were charged with corruption. It has failed to shed its patronage and rent-seeking culture, and internal bickering presents a challenge. There is also a potential public backlash for calling an early election despite risks of floods from monsoon rains.
The reform drive within the party has taken a backseat after it reclaimed the government just 22 months following its electoral defeat, said Amir Fareed Rahim, director of strategy at public affairs and political risk consultancy KRA Group.
“The (UMNO) faces at the top are more or less still the same, which means there are still negative perception issues and trust deficit with the public,” he said.
UMNO Ieads the Barisan Nasional, or the National Front coalition, that has ruled since Malaysia’s independence from Britain until 2018. It was the country’s de facto ruler, with UMNO president holding the post of prime minister.
The watershed 2018 polls sparked hopes of reforms as once-powerful UMNO leaders were jailed or hauled to court for graft. Former Prime Minister Najib Razak became the first Malaysian leader imprisoned, over a case linked to the massive looting of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad state investment fund that led to his party’s ouster. Najib’s wife is also battling a 10-year sentence on separate graft charges.
But just as astounding as its defeat was UMNO’s swift return to power in early 2020 after defections led the reformist ruling alliance to crumble.
UMNO’s frenemy pact with two Malay parties that all vie for support of ethnic Malay voters saw continuous turmoil. In all, Malaysia had three prime ministers since 2018. In the end, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob caved in to pressure from UMNO and dissolved Parliament last month for snap polls.
Ismail, a lower-ranked official, was the first prime minister who wasn’t an UMNO leader, creating factions within the party. This was because UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is battling dozens of corruption charges and the party No. 2 wasn’t a federal lawmaker.
Opposition leaders have warned voters that Zahid, who led the push for early polls, is counting on his coalition’s win to get off the hook in his graft trial and take over as prime minister. Zahid has portrayed himself and Najib, who faces several more trials over the 1MDB saga, as victims of political persecution.
Although UMNO says Ismail will remain prime minister if it wins, Zahid has consolidated his power by dropping eight party strongmen aligned to Ismail from the polls. Even if Ismail stays on, critics say he will be a lame duck premier.
“The ambiguity over the premiership despite clarifications from UMNO leaders is definitely an ammunition that is being used rather effectively by the opposition and may adversely impact BN’s electoral fortunes,” said Amir of KRA Group.
Zahid, 69, has dismissed the allegations as rivals’ desperate ploy. On Monday night, he unveiled his coalition’s manifesto as “pro-people, pro-reform, pro-development and prioritizing inclusion.”
Zahid promised absolute poverty will become a thing of the past because his government will give cash to poor households to ensure they have a basic monthly income of 2,208 ringgit ($466). The manifesto offers some political reform for more accountability, an overhaul of the education system and incentives to embrace diversity at school and workplace.
Malays form two-thirds of Malaysia’s 33 million people, and get privileges in jobs, contracts and education under a decades-old affirmative action program that has long alienated large Chinese and Indian minorities. Critics say the system has been abused by UMNO elites to enrich themselves, with large contracts often given directly to cronies.
“If UMNO still wins in 2022, it portrays the pervasiveness of UMNO’s patronage network,” said Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, a political analyst with the Science University of Malaysia. “What UMNO needs is a new generation of leaders whose conscience is not tied to the interests of UMNO’s self-perpetuating warlords.”
Some recent surveys have shown that UMNO hasn’t gained ground with Malays in several recent by-elections, and won in large part due to a low turnout of opposition voters.
While the opposition is a divided, UMNO also faces a split in its traditional Malay support base and some 6 million young new voters remain a wildcard.
Firebrand opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, also a Malay, is the main challenger. He was serving time on a sodomy charge he said was politically motivated when his Alliance of Hope won the 2018 polls, led by former premier Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir became the world’s oldest leader at 92 after the victory, and Anwar was pardoned by the nation’s king shortly after. He was due to succeed Mahathir before their government collapsed. Anwar’s bloc is promising a reset in government policies to focus on merits and needs, rather than race, and good governance to plug billions of dollars it said was lost to corruption.
In addition, UMNO is also challenged by a Malay-based coalition headed by its previous allies in the government. Mahathir, 97, is running with his own motley Malay alliance to oust a corruption-tainted UMNO.
Political analyst Ahmad Fauzi and some others predicted a hung parliament that could see new alliances formed after the election.
“It is competitive and difficult to predict given the large fence-sitters. But it is UMNO’s to lose given it had all the upper hand in terms of timing to call the elections,” said Amir, the KRA analyst.

ROCHESTER, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana man has been sentenced to nine years for a hit-and-run that killed a 12-year-old girl and injured a teenage boy.
A Fulton County judge sentenced Gage Rogers on Tuesday after the Akron, Indiana, man had pleaded guilty to two felony hit-and-run charges in the crash that killed Brelynna Felix.
The judge suspended about half of the sentence, and Rogers will serve part of it on either home detention or through community corrections, WSBT-TV reported.
The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said dispatchers were alerted in November 2021 that a child may have been struck by a vehicle along State Road 19.
First responders found a 15-year-old boy who had been struck and injured before they found Brelynna, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Davis used the press conference to outline facts that were "inconsistent with what seemed to be a preconceived conclusion" by the Committee and therefore omitted or minimized in the Committee's referral letter
One such minimized fact concerned a June 12, 2019 letter written by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service that confirmed that its earlier decision to reinstate the development's Clean Water Act permit was correct on the law and the facts
WASHINGTON , May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, May 19, 2022, attorney Lanny J. Davis held a national telephonic press conference to rebut allegations made against Arizona businessman Mike Ingram by the U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee and request the opportunity to rebut the allegations before the full Committee.
In his press conference, Davis itemized facts illustrating why Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva and Subcommittee Chair Katie Porter should be investigated for abuse of power, violation of due process, and for making "false and misleading" assertions in their referral if a chance wasn't given to publicly rebut the allegations before the full Committee.
Davis outlined five facts he asserts the Committee Chairs either minimized or ignored altogether because they were "inconsistent with what seemed to be a preconceived conclusion." One example of such a fact concerned a June 12, 2019 letter written by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service that confirmed that its earlier decision to reinstate the Villages at Vigneto's Clean Water Act permit was correct on the law and the facts. Davis quoted directly from that letter:
"We take the allegations [of political interference] made by Mr. Spangle seriously. For this reason, our reevaluation has occurred at the field office level only with no regional or Washington D.C. headquarters review. Mr. Spangle's allegations do not change our previous determinations…"
Davis highlighted four other "inconvenient" facts:
- The Clean Water Act permit for the Villages at Vigneto development at issue was allowed to stand for seven years under President Barack Obama's administration.
- When Mr. Ingram communicated with senior officials at the Interior Department, he sent along a memorandum of law and facts supporting his request, and he asked these and other officials to make their decision only on the facts and the law, and nothing else.
- The Army Corps of Engineers had determined on its own, on May 26, 2017, months before the donations at issue had even occurred, that the Villages at Vigneto "is not likely to adversely affect," the three endangered species in question.
- On May 23, 2019, the Army Corps on its own initiative asked the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to review its decision in light of allegations from Mr. Spangle, which led to Fish & Wildlife's June 12, 2019 determination flagged above.
In his statements, Davis noted the full transparency and cooperation his client provided the Committee:
"For over a year during the Committee's investigation, Mr. Ingram instructed me to be 100% transparent and cooperative, with no subpoenas required. We voluntarily turned over thousands of pages of documents: emails, correspondence, and records of phone calls and meetings. We also made offers for Mr. Ingram to meet with the Chair."
Davis criticized the fact that the Committee publicly aired their allegations of criminal behavior without allowing for due process to play out first:
"They made this charge before the Justice Department had determined whether to undertake an investigation, before the results of any such investigation, before indictment, if any, were returned by a Grand Jury and, most objectionably, before trial and due process was afforded to Mr. Ingram.
"If a Republican ever did such a thing, we progressive Democrats would denounce such a blatant disrespect for the constitutional presumption of innocence inherent in the Due Process Clause."
Davis made clear in the press conference that his remarks were not directed at the Department of Justice:
"I completely trust the independence and integrity of this Justice Department and this Attorney General, Merrick Garland. I will therefore have no comments about the Justice Department's review."
Davis concluded his press conference by reiterating his request to present his case directly to the full Committee, an opportunity he was not afforded before the Committee made its criminal referral letter public.

AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) today announced cost savings actions in response to a challenging industry environment and cost pressure driven by inflation.
Planned rationalization and workforce reorganization would result in an approximately 5% reduction in salaried staff globally, or about 500 positions.
"Our fourth quarter results fell short of our expectations given a significantly weaker industry backdrop, particularly in Europe," said Richard J. Kramer, chairman, chief executive officer and president. "While our businesses have performed at a high level through the volatility of the past several years, the uncertain near-term macroeconomic outlook and continuing impacts of inflation make these difficult actions necessary to position our business for future success."
Global replacement tire industry demand remained weak in the fourth quarter, led by a 12% decline in EMEA. When coupled with the impacts of inflation — including significant increases in energy costs — the Company expects its EMEA business unit to report a fourth quarter segment operating loss of approximately $80 million. EMEA had reported positive segment operating income since the second quarter of 2020.
While raw material and certain other input costs have declined recently, the Company seeks to drive efficiencies to help offset inflation in other areas like wages and benefits.
The rationalization and reorganization are expected to be completed during the first and second quarters with a portion in international businesses subject to required consultation with relevant stakeholders. These actions are in addition to cost synergies related to the integration of Cooper Tire.
The Company expects to record pre-tax charges associated with these actions of approximately $55 million, primarily relating to cash severance payments that are expected to be substantially paid during the first half of 2023. The rationalization and reorganization will result in a quarterly run-rate benefit of approximately $15 million beginning in the second quarter. Savings in the first quarter are expected to be $5 million.
These actions follow the Company's earlier announced plans to close its Melksham, United Kingdom, manufacturing facility and exit its TrenTyre retail operations in South Africa to support EMEA's overall competitiveness.
The Company will report fourth quarter and full-year 2022 financial results after market close on Wednesday, Feb. 8, followed by an investor conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 9.

DEPTFORD, N.J. (AP) — Back in Mudville, when mighty Casey took an unheeded pitch for a strike, there went up a muffled roar: “`Kill him! Kill the umpire!’ shouted someone on the stand.”
Even in 1888, well before pitch clocks, $17 beers and instant replay, a common thread for the fans in baseball’s most epic poem was how much they loved to threaten umpires.
These days, 135 or so years after writer Ernest Lawrence Thayer’s renowned verse, one Little League in New Jersey is taking a hands-on approach. Its target: those watching 10- and 11-year-olds play baseball who curse at the volunteers behind the plate.
You want some of this? they’re saying. Well, come get some. In Deptford, the umpire recruiting slogan sign may as well read: If you can’t berate them, join them.
___
The April Facebook post hardly seemed like national news at the time for league president Don Bozzuffi. He’d lost patience when two umpires resigned after persistent spectator abuse. So he wrote an updated code of conduct.
It specified: Any spectator deemed in violation would be banned from the complex until three umpiring assignments were completed. If not, the person would be barred from any Deptford youth sports facilities for a year.
In G-rated terms (unlike the ones that will get you tossed), the mandate just wants helicopter parents to calm the heck down. No 9-year-old will remember, as an adult, being safe or out on a bang-bang play at first. But how deep would be the cut of watching dad get tossed out of the game and banished for bad behavior?
The league doesn’t want to find out. “So far, it’s working like I’d hoped and just been a deterrent,” the 68-year-old Bozzuffi said.
The problem, though, isn’t limited to Deptford and its handful of unruly parents.
Outbursts of bad behavior at sporting events for young people have had frightening consequences for officials at all youth levels. Pick a town, any town, and there are adults assaulting referees or chasing umpires into parking lots looking for a fight, all available on the social feed of your choice.
The videos pop up almost weekly: inane instances of aggressive behavior toward officials. Like in January, when a Florida basketball referee was punched in the face after one game. Or last month, when an enraged youth baseball coach stormed a baseball field in Alabama and wrestled an umpire to the ground. Other adults and kids tried to break up the melee that took place in a game — at an 11-and-under tournament.
Jim McDevitt has worked as a volunteer Deptford umpire for 20 years. But he turns 66 this month and won’t call games much longer. He wonders where the next generation of officials will come from, especially when the job description includes little pay and lots of crap.
Youth officiating is in crisis. According to a 2017 survey of by the National Association of Sports Officials, nearly 17,500 referees surveyed said parents caused the most problems with sportsmanship at 39%. Coaches came in at 29% and fans at 18%.
Barry Mano founded the association four decades ago to advocate for youth officials. Mano, whose brother Mark was an NBA referee, has watched fan conduct become “far worse” than he could have imagined.
“Sports is simply life with the volume turned up,” Mano says. “We’ve become louder and brasher. We always want a second opinion on things. That’s where the culture has gone. I don’t think we’re as civil as we used to be toward each other, and it plays out in the sporting venues.”
___
In Deptford, things seem to be working — at least in attracting non-mandatory umps. Bozzuffi says that since his rule grabbed national headlines, three umpires have joined the league. More volunteers want to be trained.
And those who might get sentenced to umping? McDevitt puts it less delicately. “We’ll see how their sphincter feels when they have to make a tight call and the parents are all screaming and hollering at them.”
The Deptford Little League playoffs, a time when tensions rise, are under way, and Bozzuffi has urged his umps to show restraint. Bozzuffi, who has served as league president for 14 years and been connected to the league for 40, doesn’t want any fan to get ejected. He just wants to get them thinking.
Because in a culture where violence visits schools, churches, movie theaters, clubs and many social gathering spots, the irate fan pressed against the fence spewing four-lettered tirades at the ump could easily escalate.
“People are just a little bit more sensitive to it,” said Sherrie Spencer, a lifelong Deptford resident who had two sons and grandsons play. She has noticed an uptick in abusive language to umpires through the years. “Now,” she says, “you have things that are going on in our world that people are more fearful when you see someone getting upset like that.”
Part of the problem is this: Thanks to technological advances, perfection in baseball can sometimes seem more attainable than ever.
In the major leagues, computers and their precision have become a vital part of baseball’s fabric. Gone are the days when a manager like Billy Martin or Earl Weaver would burst out of the dugout and kick up a cloud of dirt, curse a blue streak and maybe even walk away with a base or chuck one into the outfield over a missed call.
Blow one now? The manager barely reacts, asking for a replay review while a command center makes the dispassionate final call. Oh, and robo umps are coming. They’re already calling the shots in the minor leagues, with computerized strike zones that leave no room for argument. Where’s the messiness, the fallibility, the human emotion steeped in baseball tradition? Where’s the fun of baseball in umpire perfection?
That’s not the way some parents see it. For many, every “safe!” when the tag is missed, every called strike on a pitch below the knees is another reason to blow a fuse in a youth sports culture full of hefty fees and travel teams that have already heightened financial and emotional attachment and encouraged a sense of parents as constituents who have a right to be heeded.
That’s why Deptford is experimenting with its attempt at preventative medicine. This is interdicting the parents before the kids get older. This is, at its core, potential assault prevention.
It’s getting attention all the way up the youth baseball chain. Little League President Stephen D. Keener had this to say: “We applaud the volunteers at Deptford Township Little League for coming up with a creative, fun solution to shine a light on the importance of treating everyone with respect, on and off the Little League field.”
___
OK. But here’s the fine print.
Beyond the headlines that suggest Fuming Father No. 1 is going to get the call from the bleachers and suddenly start ringing up strike three, there’s this: It’s too much effort. The risks! The potential safety problems! The insurance!
Bozzuffi and the town’s mayor teach a three-hour safety certification class each offender must complete before receiving an assignment. Rookie umps must pass a background check and complete an online concussion course. After all that, a qualified umpire would be stationed next to the replacement ump to ensure accuracy and fairness.
It hasn’t happened — yet.
“The first person that we have to do this to, nobody is else is going to challenge this,” Bozzuffi said. “Nobody wants to go through all this.”
So for now, at least on a recent weeknight in Deptford, parents, grandparents and friends, were on their best behavior. They cheered. They clapped. They caught up with neighbors.
They groused a bit, too. While other Little League officials across America reached out to Bozzuffi for input into their own policies, some fans in Deptford are sick of the perception that’s it’s a town full of baseball bullies.
One fan waved off an interview request because he “didn’t want to hear anymore about how bad we all are.” Parent Dawn Nacke found it unfair that the town was labeled as “obnoxious parents when we’re just caring about our kids.”
“We know that they ump for free,” she said, “but sometimes bad calls are made and they cost us the game.”
Has she ever been guilty of popping off too much?
“Mouthy, yes. But we all have to bite our tongues over here because of the new rule,” she said. “I just have to keep my mouth shut more. Scared me straight. I’m more angry that they call us obnoxious parents. That really upset me when I read it in the news. But this is their rule and I’m going to follow it.”
Just the way Deptford drew it up.

Singh, Director of Food Services Division, Los Angeles Unified School District.

JOHANNESBURG – Russia and China will conduct naval drills in the Indian Ocean off the coast of South Africa next month in another indication of their strengthening relationships with Africa's most developed country amid the war in Ukraine and global financial uncertainty.
The South African armed forces said Thursday that they and the Russian and Chinese navies will engage in “a multinational maritime exercise” from Feb. 17-27 off South Africa's east coast near the cities of Durban and Richards Bay.
The drills will happen around the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 and will bring more focus on the refusal of South Africa — a leading voice on its continent — to side with the West and condemn Russia's actions.
The announcement also comes days before Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is due to visit South Africa and hold talks with South African counterpart Naledi Pandor.
The South African government said last year that it had adopted a neutral stance over Ukraine and called for dialogue and diplomacy, but the upcoming naval drills have led the country's main opposition party to accuse the government of effectively siding with Russia.
The South African government denies it has taken sides and has called for the end of the war in Ukraine.
But the South African National Defense Force, which incorporates all of its armed forces, said next month's naval exercise would “strengthen the already flourishing relations between South Africa, Russia and China.” The aim of the drills was “sharing operational skills and knowledge,” the SANDF said.
The three countries also conducted a similar naval exercise in 2019 in Cape Town, while Russia and China held joint naval drills in the East China Sea last month.
South Africa, a key Western partner, was one of several African countries that abstained in a United Nations vote last year condemning Russia's invasion. The United States and the European Union had hoped that South Africa would support the international condemnation of Russia and act as a leader for other nations in Africa.
President Joe Biden hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House in September, when a key talking point was their differences over the war in Ukraine. U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken visited South Africa last year.
Experts have warned of Russia's increased military influence in Africa since it first annexed parts of Ukraine in 2014, while the Biden administration also recognizes the importance of strengthening relations on the continent after China has spent decades entrenching itself in Africa's natural resources markets. Improving relations with South Africa is central to the U.S. effort of limiting Russian and Chinese influence.
The South African government drew more attention over its stance regarding Russia in October when it said it would allow a superyacht linked to Russian oligarch Alexey Mordashov to dock in Cape Town despite him being under U.S. and EU sanctions.
The South African government has also been accused of allowing another sanctioned Russian vessel to dock at a naval base near Cape Town in December.
South Africa's relationship with Russia is largely because of the support the Soviet Union gave to Ramaphosa's now-ruling African National Congress party in its fight to bring down apartheid, the regime of repression against the country's Black majority. Apartheid ended in 1994 when the ANC won the first democratic elections in South Africa and Nelson Mandela became president.
South Africa is also a member of BRICS, a bloc of emerging economies, alongside Brazil, Russia, India and China.

IRS agent alleges Hunter Biden probe is being mishandled
WASHINGTON (AP) — An IRS special agent is seeking whistleblower protection to disclose information about what the agent alleges is mishandling of an investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, according to a letter sent to members of Congress.
Mark Lytle, the attorney for the IRS whistleblower, wrote to lawmakers Wednesday that his client has information about a “failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition” of a criminal investigation related to the younger Biden’s taxes and whether he made a false statement in connection with a gun purchase.
“Despite serious risks of retaliation, my client is offering to provide you with information necessary to exercise your constitutional oversight function and wishes to make the disclosures in a nonpartisan manner to the leadership of the relevant committees on both sides of the political aisle,” Lytle said in a letter, obtained by The Associated Press, that was sent to the chairmen and ranking members of several House and Senate committees.
The letter states that the supervisory special agent previously disclosed the information they are seeking to share with Congress internally with the IRS and a watchdog for the Justice Department. Lytle added that his client is able to contradict sworn testimony to lawmakers “by a senior political appointee.” That appointee is not named.
The special agent also wants to disclose “examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected,” the lawyer added.
The Justice Department declined to comment. Requests for comment from the IRS and Hunter Biden’s legal team were not immediately returned.
Hunter Biden’s taxes and foreign business work have been under federal investigation by a federal grand jury in Delaware since at least 2018. So far no charges have been filed. Additionally, his membership on the board of a Ukrainian energy company and his efforts to strike deals in China have long raised questions by Republicans about whether he traded on his father’s public service.
Joe Biden has said he has never spoken to his son about foreign business. There are no indications that the federal investigation involves the president.
The whistleblower letter, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as House Republicans have opened their own investigations into nearly every facet of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including examining foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, recently reviewed financial transactions by members of the Biden family that were flagged for attention. Those financial reports are routine, with larger financial transactions automatically flagged to the government, and are not evidence on their own of misconduct.
But Comer, who has been leading the various probes into Hunter Biden, said the whistleblower letter is further evidence of the importance of congressional inquiryinto the president and his family.
“It’s deeply concerning that the Biden Administration may be obstructing justice by blocking efforts to charge Hunter Biden for tax violations,” Comer said in a statement Thursday.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two students were injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon near a high school in Portland, Oregon, officials said.
Shots were fired near Jefferson High School in north Portland around 4 p.m. after school was dismissed, Portland Public Schools officials said.
The two students are expected to survive, District spokeswoman Marifer Sager told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Police received a report that one of the injured students suffered a wound to the leg and entered the gym shortly after the shooting, the Portland Police Bureau said. As of 7:25 p.m., police said they were still trying to locate another student who had suffered a graze wound.
Police said officers received reports that two teens wearing face masks fled after the shooting in a car that crashed nearby. The teens then ran away, according to police.
Police haven’t said if anyone was arrested.
Jefferson High sophomore Mesert Melda told the newspaper she was in the gym when other students ran in screaming that there had been a drive-by shooting.
A teacher told the students to take shelter in the school’s audio recording room, she said.
“I was concerned for the people outside,” Melda said.

Lipella awarded $1.35m grant in 2022 for development of intravesical contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ICE-MRI) technology.
PITTSBURGH, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lipella Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: LIPO) ("Lipella" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company addressing serious diseases with significant unmet need, today announces it has dosed the first patient in its human clinical study of a novel bladder MRI contrast agent.
Lipella's contrast agent is composed of two MRI contrast agents and is expected to be useful for the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and potentially other bladder diseases characterized by bladder wall defects. Lipella believes the agent may also have utility in detecting bladder tumor progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
The study is being funded by a $1.35 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant awarded to Lipella by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) in 2022. The two-year grant will support the clinical development of intravesical contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ICE-MRI) technology, and is expected to accelerate clinical development of ICE-MRI, which could lead to important clinical results.
Dr. Michael Chancellor, Chief Medical Officer of Lipella expressed excitement about the milestone in developing a novel MRI contrast agent that can evaluate and detect leaky bladder.
"As a urologist, I know my clinical colleagues would highly welcome a new objective diagnostic modality that can accurately measure impaired bladder permeability and function," said Dr. Chancellor.
Professor Pradeep Tyagi, a renowned scholar in the field of bladder pharmacology and imaging, emphasized that the agent can objectively phenotype IC/BPS that is bladder-centric, thereby identifying patients who would be most likely to benefit from clinical trials of newer therapies targeting bladder pathology and avoid the delay in getting appropriate medical care.
About ICE-MRI, a Duel-Component MRI Contrast Agent
ICE-MRI is a proprietary liquid solution/suspension composed of two MRI contrast agents with unique magnetic properties that can be used to determine if bladder permeability defects are present. Lipella has completed preclinical validation of the agent and has commenced human clinical trials. The novel contrast agent has a low cost of goods sold and a rapid diagnostic device development plan to meet urologic indications without current approved diagnostic imaging.
ABOUT LIPELLA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
Lipella is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing new drugs by reformulating the active agents in existing generic drugs and optimizing these reformulations for new applications. Additionally, Lipella maintains a therapeutic focus on diseases with significant, unaddressed morbidity and mortality where no approved drug therapy currently exists. Lipella completed its initial public offering in December 2022 trading on Nasdaq under the ticker LIPO. For more information, please visit www.lipella.com or LinkedIn.

NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) — It’s not easy being Elon Musk.
That was the message the new Twitter owner and billionaire head of Tesla and SpaceX had for younger people who might seek to emulate his entrepreneurial success.
“Be careful what you wish for,” Musk told a business forum in Bali on Monday when asked what an up-and-coming “Elon Musk of the East” should focus on.
“I’m not sure how many people would actually like to be me. They would like to be what they imagine being me, which is not the same,” he continued. “I mean, the amount that I torture myself, is the next level, frankly.”
Musk was speaking at the B-20 business forum ahead of a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies taking place on the Indonesian resort island. He joined the conference by video link weeks after completing his heavily scrutinized takeover of Twitter.
He had been expected to attend the event in person, but Indonesian government minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, who’s responsible for coordinating preparations for the summit, said Musk could not attend because he’s preparing for a court case this week.
Testimony began Monday in a Delaware courtroom where Tesla shareholders are challenging Musk’s compensation plan as CEO, potentially worth more than $55 billion.
He’s got plenty else to keep himself busy.
“My workload has recently increased quite a lot,” he said with a chuckle in an apparent reference to the Twitter deal. “I mean, oh, man. I have too much work on my plate, that is for sure.”
The businessman appeared in a darkened room, saying there had been a power cut just before he connected.
His face, projected on a large screen over the summit hall, appeared to glow red as it was reflected in what he said was candlelight – a visage he noted was “so bizarre.”
While Musk was among the most anticipated speakers at the business forum, his remarks broke little new ground. Only the moderator was able to ask questions.
The Tesla chief executive said the electric carmaker would consider making a much cheaper model when asked about lower-cost options for developing countries like India and G-20 host Indonesia.
“We do think that making a much more affordable vehicle would make a lot of sense and we should do something,” he said.
Musk also reiterated a desire to significantly boost the amount and length of Twitter’s video offerings, and share revenue with people producing the content, though he didn’t provide specifics.
He bought Twitter for $44 billion last month and quickly dismissed the company’s board of directors and top executives.
He laid off much of the rest of the company’s full-time workforce by email on Nov. 4 and is now eliminating the jobs of outsourced contractors who are tasked with fighting misinformation and other harmful content.
Musk has vowed to ease restrictions on what users can say on the platform.
He’s reaped a heap of complaints — much on Twitter itself — and has tried to reassure companies that advertise on the platform and others that it won’t damage their brands by associating them with harmful content.
In his appearance Monday, Musk acknowledged the criticism.
“There’s no way to make everyone happy, that’s for sure,” he said.

Regarding the recent letter by Richard Kidwell who wrote about the juxtaposition of two recent articles regarding pregnancies, a very important point needs to be made (”Abortion involves two lives,” March 16).
In the case of the Pennsylvania teacher whose life — and the life of her baby — were saved by a school nurse, that pregnancy was 8 and a half months along. That is almost full-term. That is nowhere near when women who are considering an abortion have the procedure performed, which is well within the first or second trimester and would therefore be protected by the legislation pending in the Maryland General Assembly.
The two situations and not comparable.
— James L. Waurin, Baltimore

NEW YORK (AP) — A former Goldman Sachs banker was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for his role in looting a Malaysian development fund of billions of dollars used to finance lavish parties, a superyacht, premium real estate and even the 2013 film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Roger Ng was convicted last April by a U.S. District Court jury in Brooklyn, but he continues to deny charges that he conspired to launder money and violated two anti-bribery laws.
Prosecutors said Ng and his co-conspirators helped the Malaysian fund, known as 1MDB, raise $6.5 billion through bond sales — only to participate in a scheme that siphoned off more than two-thirds of the money, some of which went to pay bribes and kickbacks.
Reading from a prepared statement, Ng pleaded for mercy from U.S. District Judge Margo Brodie.
“I'm embarrassed. I'm ashamed,” he told the judge.
“I don't want to live in resentment,” he said. “I want to redeem myself.”
The judge admonished Ng: “The only explanation for your conduct is greed.”
Ng had hoped that he would avoid prison time and be allowed to return to Malaysia, where he faces a separate prosecution. His lawyers argued that incarceration would worsen his “serious mental health condition.”
Ng was extradited to the United States in 2019 after spending six months in custody in Malaysia. He has been under house arrest for the past four years.
Federal prosecutors had asked Brodie for a 15-year sentence.
His lawyers acknowledged the looting was “perhaps the single largest heist in the history of the world.” But they failed to convince the jury that Ng was the fall guy for two other people charged in the $4.5 billion scheme.
One of them, Tim Leissner, Ng's former boss at Goldman Sachs, pleaded guilty in 2018 to bribing government officials in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi. He was ordered to pay $43.7 million and became a key government witness during Ng's two-month trial.
The third man, the Malaysian financier known as “Jho Low,” remains an international fugitive.
Ng, who oversaw investment banking in Malaysia for his firm, was the only Goldman Sachs banker to stand trial. He said Leissner implicated him to gain leniency during his own sentencing. Leissner has not yet been sentenced.
In 2020, Goldman Sachs acknowledged its role in the embezzlement scheme and paid more than US$2.3 billion as part of a plea deal with the U.S. government. The firm had previously reached a $3.9 billion settlement with the government of Malaysia.
The U.S. government said the theft of so much money harmed the people of Malaysia.
The fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhad, was set up in 2009 by Prime Minister Najib Razak to promote economic development.
The financial scandal helped topple his government during the country's 2018 elections. A Malaysian court would later find him guilty of abusing his power and committing other crimes connected to the massive embezzlement. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
But Najib was acquitted last week of tampering with an audit to cover up wrongdoing.
The scandal touched on several figures in the U.S.
A top fundraiser for former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, Elliott Broidy, was charged with running an illegal lobbying campaign on Jho Low's behalf to get the Justice Department to drop its investigation into 1MDB's looting. Broidy pleaded guilty, but was pardoned by Trump, so was never sentenced.
A member of the hip-hop group the Fugees, Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, was also charged with being part of a conspiracy to help Low make illegal campaign contributions. Michel says he is innocent.

MESQUITE, Texas, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U-Haul of Mesquite store at 2349 E. Hwy. 80 is closing its doors for the final time today after 43 years of serving the local community.
The facility had been serving do-it-yourself moving customers since 1979, when U-Haul built it. The 2.1-acre property was acquired by the state and condemned to make room for the TxDOT freeway expansion project.
Eight Team Members are being let go from the store.
U-Haul intends to open a new full-service moving, self-storage and retail center on the south side of Highway 80 by the end of 2024. The new property has already been acquired and U-Haul is going through the necessary zoning processes.
Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers, but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores. Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans; physical plant limitations, including insufficient square footage; shifts in demographics; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; proximity to new or existing U-Haul stores; and external factors.
U-Haul dealers in and around Mesquite continue to meet the needs of DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to offer rental equipment since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul partnership. When customers rent from U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in their community. Because no financial investment is required, dealers are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses committing their lot space for U-Haul equipment and time to meet the mobility needs of customers. Learn more about how to partner with U-Haul at uhaul.com/dealer.
About U-HAUL
Since 1945, U-Haul has been the No. 1 choice of do-it-yourself movers, with a network of more than 23,000 locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 offers secure access to U-Haul trucks every hour of every day through the customer dispatch option on their smartphones and our proprietary Live Verify technology. Our customers' patronage has enabled the U-Haul fleet to grow to approximately 186,000 trucks, 128,000 trailers and 46,000 towing devices. U-Haul is the third largest self-storage operator in North America and offers 876,000 rentable storage units and 75.1 million square feet of self-storage space at owned and managed facilities. U-Haul is the largest retailer of propane in the U.S., and continues to be the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket industry. U-Haul has been recognized repeatedly as a leading "Best for Vets" employer and was recently named one of the 15 Healthiest Workplaces in America.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The killing of a young woman in Mexico City brought accusations Monday that authorities in a neighboring state intentionally botched her autopsy to cover up for the killer.
The death of Ariadna López, 27, brought up all the issues that have enraged women in Mexico: officials blaming the victim, poor police investigation and misconduct that has led to a growing number of unsolved killings of women.
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum alleged that the prosecutor of Morelos state, just south of the capital, had ties to the woman’s alleged killer though she refused to describe their purported links.
“It is clear that the prosecutor of Morelos state tried to cover up for the killer of a woman because of his ties to the killer,” Sheinbaum said.
The woman's body was found last week in Morelos, so officials there initially investigated.
Morelos state prosecutor Uriel Carmona said a state forensic exam showed López choked on her own vomit as a result of intoxication. But officials in Mexico City said Sunday that they had evidence she was slain in the capital.
Carmona's office did not comment on Sheinbaum's accusation that the autopsy was botched or that it was part of a cover-up.
On Sunday, Mexico City prosecutor Ernestina Godoy said a new autopsy carried out by Mexico City experts found “several lesions caused by blows” on López's body and listed the cause of death as “multiple traumas.”
López was found dead on the side of a road last week in Morelos state, home to the city of Cuernavaca, a frequent weekend getaway for Mexico City residents. She had vanished after visiting a restaurant with the suspect and his girlfriend and later visiting his apartment, Mexico City authorities sid.
On Monday, Sheinbaum showed an image from the apartment building's security cameras purportedly showing the suspect walking through a basement garage with the inert body of a woman over his shoulder.
The suspect, who was apparently a friend of the victim, turned himself in to prosecutors in the northern city of Monterrey on Monday and said he was innocent of the killing. His girlfriend was arrested in Mexico City.
Some saw suggestions of police incompetence from the start. López disappeared from a trendy central Mexico City neighborhood Oct. 30. Her body was not found until days later when cyclists discovered her on a path that leads from Mexico City to Morelos.
Her body was identified by relatives only because the cyclists took photos of the victim’s tattoos and posted them online in an attempt to help identify her.
On Monday, dozens of women and their supporters marched in downtown Mexico City to demand justice in López's case.
“We feel enraged, impotent, above all, mad,” said Omar Rodríguez Díaz, the victim's brother. “They treat us like garbage and that is sad.”
“We want justice done and prosecutor Uriel Carmona to pay the consequences of his words. He made a mockery of Mexico and of all women,” Rodríguez Díaz said.
Sheinbaum is considered a leading contender to replace President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2024 elections. The dispute Monday sets up a conflict with the governor of Morelos state, who is an ally of López Obrador but not a member of his Morena party.
Mexico City has its own problems with women’s killings. A young woman, Lidia Gabriela, apparently threw herself from a taxi and died on a Mexico City street Wednesday. Witnesses said Gabriela thought the taxi driver was trying to kidnap her and so she leaped from the vehicle
Morelos state has also had a particularly bad stretch of women’s killings.
On Friday, the bodies of five women were found in the Morelos city of Cuautla just south of Mexico City. The bodies were found at two different spots in the city, known as a weekend getaway for Mexico City residents.
The prosecutor in Morelos state said the killings appeared to have been carried out by a drug gang, possibly as part of some sort of dispute. Carmona said the bodies were found near a hand-lettered sign of the kind often used by drug gangs.

ATLANTA (AP) — Dozens of well-wishers made the pilgrimage Sunday to The Carter Center in Atlanta, as prayers and memories of former President Jimmy Carter’s legacy were offered up at his small Baptist church in Plains, Georgia, a day after he entered hospice care.
Among those paying homage was his niece, who noted the 39th president’s years of service in an emotional address at Maranatha Baptist Church, where Carter taught Sunday school for decades.
“I just want to read one of Uncle Jimmy’s quotes,” Kim Fuller said during the Sunday school morning service, adding: “Oh, this is going to be really hard.”
She referenced this quote from Carter: “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. I’m free to choose that something. … My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can.”
“Maybe if we think about it, maybe it’s time to pass the baton,” Fuller said before leading those gathered in prayer. “Who picks it up, I have no clue. I don’t know. Because this baton’s going to be a really big one.”
Carter, at age 98 the longest-lived American president, had a recent series of short hospital stays. The Carter Center said in a statement Saturday that the 39th president has now “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”
In Atlanta, people, some traveling many miles, made the trip to The Carter Center to reflect on the life of the former president on a spring-like Sunday under a sunny sky.
“I brought my sons down here today to pay respect for President Carter and teach them a little bit about how great a humanitarian he was, especially in the later stages of his life,” said James Culbertson, who drove an hour to Atlanta from Calhoun, Georgia.
The presidential library itself was closed in honor of President’s Day weekend, but people were still showing up to walk past the fountains and through the gardens.
David Brummett of Frederick County, Maryland, said he changed his Sunday morning plans when he heard news that Carter was in hospice care.
Brummett paused near a large statue of Carter, where someone had placed a potted plant of purple chrysanthemums at the base.
“Great man, great president, probably under-appreciated by those who didn’t know much about him,” Brummett said. “People should come here to appreciate the life, and the contributions he made both during his presidency and after.”
Following Fuller’s Sunday school service at Maranatha Baptist Church, Pastor Hugh Deloach offered prayers for the Carter family, particularly for Rosalynn Carter, the wife of the former president.
The Carters have been married for more than 75 years, making American history as the longest-married presidential couple.
“Lord, especially Mrs. Carter, and God look back on times and years that they’ve been together and Lord just strengthen her in the power of your might as well,” the pastor said.
Others took to social media to remember Carter, who served one term after defeating President Gerald Ford in 1976.
“Across life’s seasons, President Jimmy Carter, a man of great faith, has walked with God. In this tender time of transitioning, God is surely walking with him,” U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Georgia Democrat, said in a tweet.
“May he, Rosalynn & the entire Carter family be comforted with that peace and surrounded by our love & prayers.”
The Carters volunteered for decades with Habitat for Humanity, beginning in 1984 and continuing until 2020.
“All of us at Habitat for Humanity are lifting up President and Mrs. Carter in prayer as he enters hospice care,” Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford said in a statement.
“We pray for his comfort and for their peace, and that the Carter family experiences the joy of their relationships with each other and with God in this time,” Reckford said.
Nicholas Kristof, a New York Times columnist, tweeted: “Prize winners and truly impressive people. Few are as truly good as Jimmy Carter, who at age 98 is now entering hospice. He leaves this planet so much better than he found it. A great, great, great man.”
Carter was a little-known Georgia governor when he began his bid for the presidency ahead of the 1976 election. He went on to defeat Ford, capitalizing as a Washington outsider in the wake of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal that drove Richard Nixon from office in 1974.
Carter served a single, tumultuous term and was defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980, a landslide loss that ultimately paved the way for his decades of global advocacy for democracy, public health and human rights via The Carter Center.
The former president and his wife, Rosalynn, 95, opened the center in 1982. His work there garnered a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The United Nations and advocacy groups for survivors of clergy sexual abuse are urging Pope Francis to authorize a full investigation of Catholic Church archives on three continents to ascertain who knew what and when about sexual abuse by Nobel Peace Prize-winning Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo, the revered independence hero of East Timor.
The Vatican’s sex abuse office said last week that it had secretly sanctioned Belo in 2020, forbidding him from having contact with minors or with East Timor, based on misconduct allegations that arrived in Rome in 2019. That was the year Francis approved a new church law that required all cases of predator prelates to be reported in-house and established a mechanism to investigate bishops, who had long escaped accountability for abuse or cover-up during the church’s decades-long scandal.
But a brief statement by the Vatican, issued after Dutch magazine De Groen Amsterdammer exposed the Belo scandal by quoting two of his alleged victims, didn’t reveal what church officials might have known before 2019.
Belo won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996 with fellow East Timorese independence icon Jose Ramos-Horta for campaigning for a fair and peaceful solution to conflict in their home country as it struggled to gain independence from Indonesia. He is revered in East Timor and was celebrated abroad for his bravery in calling out human rights abuses by Indonesian rulers despite threats against his life.
But six years after winning the prize, in 2002, Belo suddenly retired as the head of the church in East Timor, a former Portuguese colony. At 54, he was two decades shy of the normal retirement age for bishops, and he never held an episcopal appointment after that.
He has said he retired for health reasons and because of stress and to give the newly independent East Timor different church leadership. But within a year of his retirement, Belo had been sent by the Vatican and his Salesian missionary order to another former Portuguese colony, Mozambique, to work as a missionary priest. There, he has said, he spent his time “teaching catechism to children, giving retreats to young people.”
He is currently in Portugal, where the Salesians have said they took him in at the request of their superiors. His whereabouts are unclear, and he didn’t respond when contacted by Portuguese media.
Advocates for survivors cite the in-house investigation that Francis authorized and published in 2020 into defrocked American Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in calling for a similar forensic study of church archives for Belo.
The McCarrick investigation, which began after new allegations surfaced in 2018 that McCarrick sexually abused a teenage altar boy, exposed how a series of bishops, cardinals and even popes over two decades dismissed or downplayed reports that he slept with his seminarians and allowed him to rise through the church hierarchy.
There is no indication yet that Francis is prepared to authorize a similar investigation into Belo. There doesn’t appear to be any groundswell of indignation within East Timor’s Catholic community, as there was among U.S. Catholics over McCarrick. On the contrary, in the impoverished, overwhelmingly Catholic country, where the church holds enormous influence, many rallied behind Belo despite the allegations.
Francis did meet Saturday with his ambassador to Portugal as well as the head of the Portuguese Bishops Conference, who himself is reportedly accused of covering up for other abuser priests.
Anne Barrett-Doyle, of the online resource Bishop Accountability, called for Francis to order a “full and sweeping investigation of the Belo case including past and present church officials from all ranks and dicasteries and from every relevant region, from East Timor to Portugal to Rome to Mozambique.”
She noted that Belo’s Salesian superiors as well as Vatican officials, up to and including even Pope John Paul II, would have been involved in his 2002 retirement and subsequent transfers. East Timor is and was then under the jurisdiction of the powerful Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, which handles all church matters in mission territories in Africa, Asia and some other regions. But ultimately a pope decides when bishops retire and whether they are subject to any sanction.
“The Vatican’s suggestion that it first learned of the allegations in the last few years doesn’t pass the smell test. It is wholly implausible,” Barrett-Doyle said in an email. “Signs point to the real possibility that Belo is another McCarrick – an acclaimed churchman whose predations were known to many church officials.”
The United Nations’ spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, also backed a full investigation.
“These allegations are truly shocking and need to be fully investigated,” he told The Associated Press. The United Nations organized a referendum on East Timor’s independence in 1999 and then provided a U.N. peacekeeping force to quell widespread violence that broke out until independence was finally declared in 2002.
The main U.S.-based advocacy group for survivors of priestly sex abuse, SNAP, joined the call for a more thorough inquest, especially given that Belo was allowed to continue ministering to children while in Mozambique.
“We learn from many allegations of sexual abuse against children that there are often more victims. In this tragedy, the Vatican set Belo free to have access to potentially more victims,” said SNAP communications manager, Mike McDonnell.

MOSCOW (AP) — Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Tuesday lost an appeal contesting the decision by penitentiary officials to label him as “inclined to commit crimes of a terrorist or extremist nature.”
Navalny, who has been behind bars since January 2021, was first designated by the penitentiary authorities as a flight risk, which implied additional checks and inspections in prison. But in October last year officials replaced that label with the “terrorist or extremist” one.
“I was worried they would demand that I kissed portraits of (President Vladimir) Putin and learned quotes by (his top associate Dmitry) Medvedev, but it wasn't necessary. It is just that my bunk bed now has a label that describes me a terrorist,” Navalny, in his usual sardonic matter, commented on the move at the time in a social media post.
He and his defense team filed an appeal contesting the label, but a panel of judges in the Russia's Vladimir region about 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of Moscow on Tuesday rejected the appeal and ruled to keep the designation in place.
Navalny, Putin's fiercest foe, was arrested in January 2021 upon returning from Germany, where he had been recuperating from nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin, and handed a 2½-year sentence for a parole violation.
In March, Navalny was sentenced to nine years in prison on fraud and contempt of court charges that he rejected as politically motivated. The move signaled an attempt by the authorities to keep him behind bars for as long as possible.
The new sentence followed a year-long Kremlin crackdown on Navalny’s supporters, other opposition activists and independent journalists, in which authorities appear eager to stifle all dissent.
Navalny’s close associates have faced criminal charges and left the country, and his group’s political infrastructure — an anti-corruption foundation and a nationwide network of regional offices — has been destroyed after being labeled an extremist organization.
Navalny and several of his associates have been added to Russia's registry of terrorists and extremists.

EVELETH — There are some grand auditoriums on the Iron Range. Ornate plasterwork and chandeliers adorn both the Hibbing High School Auditorium and the Goodman Auditorium at Virginia High School, the latter of which is set to be torn down.
And then there was the Wilsonian Auditorium, built out of an old pump house 250 feet below Eveleth. With a capacity of 200, the 52-by-20-foot theater was part of the Spruce Mine, an underground iron ore mine.
Oliver Iron Mining Co. District Superintendent Charles Grabowsky wrote a description of the theater for the April 1926 issue of the Rockford Furniture Herald, a trade publication for the Illinois city’s furniture industry. The article touted that the film “Happiness,” which followed the furniture-making process from the felling of a walnut tree to the finished piece entering the home of a newly married couple, was shown to several hundred miners in the underground theater.
Grabowsky said miners once regularly ate their lunch up on the surface, but with the theater, they were staying underground over the noon hour.
“Immediately after eating they congregate in the pump room or so-called motion picture theater, have their show, and return to their working places,” Grabowsky wrote in the furniture article.
ADVERTISEMENT
In the very early days of the Iron Range, when the immigrants hadn't learned English yet, their common language — their music — it was one of the things that connected them.
Safety films were screened every two weeks, and sometimes even comedies. An April 9, 1925, article in the Eveleth News describing the opening of the theater two days prior said “Hindsight is Better than Foresight” was shown at the dedication program.
The article noted the idea to convert the old pump house into a theater came from another superintendent, Joseph Wilson, presumably the Wilsonian Auditorium’s namesake.
A more detailed description of the theater by Grabowsky appeared in the January 1926 issue of the journal Electrical Mining. “If the safety picture is composed of two reels, that is usually all that is shown,” Grabowsky wrote. “If the safety picture consists of one reel, we usually show a comedy reel.”
But it wasn’t just used for those motion picture shows.
Both the Furniture Herald and Eveleth News noted that after the films ended, miners would pull out accordions and perform live music for their co-workers.
“In the very early days of the Iron Range, when the immigrants hadn't learned English yet, their common language — their music — it was one of the things that connected them,” said Tucker Nelson, an Iron Range historian.
“I don’t think it was uncommon for people to have played music, but it would have been folk music, not necessarily somebody who was classically trained,” Nelson said. “But it was fairly common … for the miners to entertain each other with their own music.”
Nelson, who grew up in Eveleth and lives in Virginia, was recently featured on an episode of PBS North’s "Minnesota Historia" on the odd early history of Eveleth and the Spruce Mine.
ADVERTISEMENT
He told the News Tribune he first heard of the Wilsonian Auditorium on a Facebook post a few years ago. Several commenters were joking about getting Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation funds to find and reopen the theater.
In all likelihood, the underground mine (and theater, if it is still there) is now filled with water or caved in.
The underground Spruce Mine closed by 1953 and the open pit mine above it closed later that decade, Nelson said.
Nelson, who has sifted through newspaper clippings, journal articles and photos of the theater, said the last mention he could find of the theater was in 1940. The Askov American on March 28, 1940, reported the Askov basketball team, despite losing to Two Harbors in the state tournament, got a tour of the Spruce Mine, including a stop at “the unique underground auditorium.”
The space would also occasionally host civic clubs or company executives.
Most descriptions maintain the theater was simple. But Nelson found one source that said it had an orchestra pit and lighting.
“I’m thinking somebody was confusing this very simple underground theater that had been converted from a pump room with some other performance space in town,” Nelson said. “Because at various points — from the 1920s to the 1950s — there were quite a few movie theaters in Eveleth, some that, of course, just played silent films and then there were at least three at one time that were playing talkies, and not to mention Finnish, Swedish and Italian halls that had a stage.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — St. John Paul II knew about sexual abuse of children by priests under his authority and sought to conceal it when he was an archbishop in his native Poland, a television news report has alleged.
In a story that aired late Monday, Polish channel TVN24 named three priests whom the future pope then known as Archbishop Karol Wojtyla had moved among parishes or sent to a cloister during the 1970s, including one who was sent to Austria, after they were accused of abusing minors.
Two of the priests, Eugeniusz Surgent and Jozef Loranc, eventually served short prison terms for the abuse, TVN24 said its 2 and 1/2 year-long investigation found. Wojtyla served as archbishop of Krakow from 1964 to 1978, when he became Pope John Paul II. He died in 2005 and was declared a saint in 2014 following a fast-tracked process.
TVN24 quoted from documents of Poland’s communist-era secret security services, which sought to discredit the Catholic Church and had informers there. The documents are held in the archives of the state National Remembrance Institute. Journalist Marcin Gutowski also spoke with a number of victims and a man who said he informed Wojtyla during the 1970s about the abuse by Surgent. None of the priests were defrocked.
The TV channel also quoted from a letter that it said Wojtyla wrote to the archbishop of Vienna at the time, Franz Koenig, recommending a priest to his care. Wojtyla did not say in the letter that Boleslaw Sadus had abused young boys, and he was made a parish priest in Austria. Wojtyla kept in touch with Sadus also after becoming pope.
TVN24’s investigation concluded that there was no doubt Wojtyla knew about abuse by priests in his archdiocese and sought to conceal it.
The broadcast featured a journalist who has written about cases of priestly abuse in Krakow diocese and who argued that Wojtyla reacted in line with Catholic Church procedures of the time.
The findings will gradually lead to a “deconstruction of the image of John Paul II that we have been using so far,” Dominican friar Paweł Gużyński said Tuesday on TVN24, noting that some people may not be prepared to cope with the new facts.
Gużyński stressed, however, that “there is no equality sign between sainthood and total absence of mistakes, even crimes, in someone’s actions.”
Polish church officials tasked with the protection of minors said in a communique Tuesday that further research was needed before Wojtyla’s actions could be “fairly assessed.” The officials stressed that the church was prepared to hear from abuse survivors and to support them.
The channel’s investigation has unleashed heated reactions in Poland, with some observers deriding it as an attempt by left-wing forces to destroy the memory of John Paul II and others demanding for the Catholic Church to reveal the truth.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a Catholic, tweeted a photo of John Paul II greeting a crowd in Poland and added the late pope’s motto “Do not be afraid,” without any comment.
A Polish Jesuit priest, Krzysztof Madel, wrote on Twitter that that the focus should be on the victims, who need the truth to be told.
An official at the Ministry of Education, Radoslaw Brzozka, said on Twitter that John Paul II’s reputation was under attack from people who want to eliminate Catholicism from Poland’s national identity.
John Paul II is not the only pope under scrutiny for dealing with predator priests.
His immediate successor, Benedict XVI, who had a much stricter stance and defrocked hundreds of abusive priests, was faulted by an independent report commissioned by the German Catholic Church for his handling of four cases while he was Munich bishop.
Accusations of having failed to react to cases of abuse by priests in his native Argentina and in Chile, while bishop and then pontiff, have been also addressed to Pope Francis.
Commentators noted that the Catholic Church hierarchy has mostly sought to protect the image of the institution over the needs of victims.
The choice of Wojtyla for pope in 1978 energized Poland’s predominantly Catholic population to openly oppose the nation’s communist system and eventually topple it.
Until recently, the Catholic Church in Poland has played a significant role in the country’s public life. Revelations about pedophile priests and the church’s close ties with the current right-wing government have depreciated its standing.

TAIPEI, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its second-quarter 2022 unaudited financial results.
Comments from Management
In the second quarter of 2022, GigaMedia reported revenues of $1.36 million, with a gross profit $0.77 million, an operating loss of $0.84 million and the net loss of $1.13 million. Total revenues decreased by 11.8% if compared to the previous quarter.
The decrease in revenues was mainly as a result of a weaker consumer sentiment on entertainment, which was undermined by inflation, downturn in financial markets, and an unprecedented COVID-19 upsurge in Taiwan.
"The first half of 2022 had posed challenges for us," said GigaMedia CEO James Huang, "nonetheless, we managed to minimize the adverse impacts to our business and continued making progress in improving our products and services."
Second Quarter Overview
- Operating revenues decreased by approximately 11.8% quarter-on-quarter, to $1.36 million from $1.55 million in last quarter, but increased by 11.3% year-over-year from $1.22 million the same period last year. The decrease from last quarter was mainly due to reduced consumer spending on entertainment amid a worsening economic environment.
- Gross profit decreased by 14.1% to $0.77 million from $0.90 million in last quarter, and increased by 22.3% compared to $0.63 million in the same period last year.
- The net asset value was $4.46 per share.
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results
GigaMedia Limited is a diversified provider of digital entertainment services. GigaMedia's digital entertainment service business FunTown develops and operates a suite of digital entertainments in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with focus on browser/mobile games and casual games.
Unaudited consolidated results of GigaMedia are summarized in the table below.
For the Second Quarter
Second-Quarter Financial Results
- Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 11.8% quarter-on-quarter to $1.36 million from $1.55 million in last quarter, but increased by 11.3% year-over-year from $1.22 million the same period last year.
- Consolidated gross profit was $0.77 million, decreased by 14.1% quarter-on-quarter but increased by 22.3% year-over-year.
- Consolidated loss from operation of the second quarter of 2022 was a loss of $0.84 million, comparable to the operating loss in the first quarter.
- Net loss in the second quarter of 2022 was $1.13 million, increased slightly from a net loss of $1.10 million in the first quarter.
- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $39.6 million, decreased by 2.2% from $40.5 million as of the end of the first quarter.
Financial Position
GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $39.6 million, or $3.59 per share, as of June 30, 2022.
Business Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of July 29, 2022. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of digital entertainments, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.
"In the second half of 2022, we will be committing ourselves to boosting the productivity of our products and services by enhancing customer loyalty to our platforms, and expanding customer base with effective marketing strategies," stated GigaMedia CEO James Huang.
Meanwhile, our management continues exploring possibilities of expanding our business through strategic investments to create greater shareholder value. And the recent upheaval in the global capital market may exhibit a chance of acquiring quality assets at a discount, for which we will pursue promising investment opportunities prudently but boldly.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following measure defined as non-GAAP by the SEC: EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a useful supplemental measure of performance because it excludes certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and that EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of using EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income for the period. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalents of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided on the attached unaudited financial statements.

BRUSSELS — The guardians of Champagne will let no one take the name of the bubbly beverage in vain, not even a U.S. beer behemoth.
For years, Miller High Life has used the “Champagne of Beers” slogan. This week, that appropriation became impossible to swallow.
At the request of the trade body defending the interests of houses and growers of the northeastern French sparkling wine, Belgian customs crushed more than 2,000 cans of Miller High Life advertised as such.
The Comité Champagne asked for the destruction of a shipment of 2,352 cans on the grounds that the century-old motto used by the American brewery infringes the protected designation of origin “Champagne.”
The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in early February, a spokesperson at the Belgian Customs Administration said on Friday, and was destined for Germany.
Molson Coors Beverage Co., which owns the Miller High Life brand, does not currently export it to the EU, and Belgian customs declined to say who had ordered the beers.
The buyer in Germany “was informed and did not contest the decision,” the trade organization said in a statement.
Frederick Miller, a German immigrant to the US, founded the Miller Brewing Company in the 1850s. Miller High Life, its oldest brand, was launched as its flagship in 1903.
According to the Milwaukee-based brand’s website, the company started to use the “Champagne of Bottle Beers” nickname three years later. It was shortened to “The Champagne of Beers” in 1969. The beer has also been available in champagne-style 750-milliliter bottles during festive seasons.
“With its elegant, clear-glass bottle and crisp taste, Miller High Life has proudly worn the nickname ‘The Champagne of Beers’ for almost 120 years,” Molson Coors Beverage Co. said in a statement to The Associated Press.
No matter how popular the slogan is in the United States, it is incompatible with European Union rules which make clear that goods infringing a protected designation of origin can be treated as counterfeit.
The 27-nation bloc has a system of protected geographical designations created to guarantee the true origin and quality of artisanal food, wine and spirits, and protect them from imitation. That market is worth nearly 75 billion euros ($87 billion) annually — half of it in wines, according to a 2020 study by the EU’s executive arm.
Charles Goemaere, the managing director of the Comité Champagne, said the destruction of the beers “confirms the importance that the European Union attaches to designations of origin and rewards the determination of the Champagne producers to protect their designation.”
Molson Coors Beverage Co. said it “respects local restrictions” around the word Champagne.
“But we remain proud of Miller High Life, its nickname and its Milwaukee, Wisconsin provenance,” the company said. “We invite our friends in Europe to the U.S. any time to toast the High Life together.”
Belgian customs said the destruction of the cans was paid for by the Comité Champagne. According to their joint statement, it was carried out “with the utmost respect for environmental concerns by ensuring that the entire batch, both contents and container, was recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.”

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the progress America has made throughout its history, race relations continues to be a plaguing theme for the nation. Award-winning author Jack Lessenberry's provocative book, Reason vs. Racism: A Newspaper Family, Race and Justice, provides an inside look at how one family approached racism in America through journalism. Lessenberry has written for the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and Vanity Fair.
Centered around a newspaper family, Reason vs. Racism is the fascinating story of the Block family and how they dealt with race and fairness over the years, covering issues such as slavery, Jim Crow, the newspaper's relationship with Abraham Lincoln, and more. Highlighted in the book are stories about undercover work to expose racism, and even a politician involved with the Klu Klux Klan.
The Block family and Block Communications (owner of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Toledo Blade, and several other entities) wanted to take an honest look at how they handled race relations through their publications. So, they charged investigative writer Jack Lessenberry with the task of researching and examining their history. Lessenberry didn't gloss over his findings; he shares the raw truth in his riveting accounts in the book.
Released in 2020, this book is still a must-read for 2022/23 as this nation goes through a current period of heightened racial awareness and tension.
"I am very concerned about how divided our country is on race. I believe this book provides needed education as it addresses issues of fairness and how our papers have handled stories and hiring practices," says John Block, publisher of the Toledo Blade and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "In our current environment, our hope is to create meaningful dialogue around race in America."
Reason vs. Racism: A Newspaper Family, Race and Justice is available on Amazon.
Block Communications, Inc., (BCI) is a 118-year-old privately held diversified media holding company headquartered in Toledo, OH. It has primary operations in cable television, newspaper publishing, high-speed Internet and residential telephone services. Publications owned by Block Communications, Inc. include The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Toledo Blade.

(Correction: This story originally named an opponent for the Bills in London. It has been updated to just say that both the Bills and Titans will be playing there. News 4 regrets the error.)
LONDON (WIVB) — The Buffalo Bills will be taking a trip across the pond once again, as they’ve been announced as one of five NFL teams playing in Europe next season.
The Bills and the Tenessee Titans are set to play at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which was described by the NFL Thursday morning as “the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the US.” Two games will be played there, they say.
In addition to the Bills and Titans, the Jaguars will be in the U.K., too, returning to Wembley Stadium. The Jaguars have a multi-year commitment to playing in the United Kingdom, and this will be their tenth game in London.
It’ll be the German debut for both the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs when they play overseas. Two games will be played in that country.
“The NFL previously confirmed that Munich and Frankfurt will stage games in Germany over the next four years,” the NFL said.
The dates of the games are yet to be announced, but this will be the second time playing in London for both the Bills and the Titans, having each played there in 2015 and 2018, respectively.
“The NFL has done an incredible job with this initiative,” Bills EVP/COO Ron Raccuia said. “We’re excited for Bills Mafia to experience Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, one of the primary design inspirations for our new stadium scheduled to open in 2026.”
The NFL noted that there will not be an international game in Mexico this year, due to renovations happening at Estadio Azteca.
“Mexico plays a critical role in the NFL’s international growth strategy, with its passionate and growing fan base,” Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president, club business, major events & international, said. “We remain committed to year-round engagement with our amazing Mexican fans and look forward to future games in Mexico.”

PARIS (AP) — Kurdish activists, left-wing politicians and anti-racism groups demonstrated Saturday in Paris after three people were killed at a Kurdish cultural center in an attack that prosecutors say was racially motivated.
The shooting in a bustling neighborhood of central Paris also wounded three people, and stirred up concerns about hate crimes against minority groups at a time when far-right voices have gained prominence in France and around Europe in recent years.
The suspected attacker was wounded and is in custody. He is a 69-year-old Parisian who was charged last year with attacking migrants and was released earlier this month. He is facing potential charges of murder and attempted murder with a racist motive, the Paris prosecutor’s office said Saturday.
Thousands gathered Saturday at the Place de la Republique in eastern Paris, waving a colorful spectrum of flags representing Kurdish rights groups, political parties and other causes. The gathering was largely peaceful but some youths threw projectiles and skirmished with police firing tear gas. Some protesters shouted slogans against the Turkish government.
The shooting shook the Kurdish community in the French capital and put police on extra alert for the Christmas weekend.
The Paris police chief met Saturday with members of the Kurdish community to try to allay their fears ahead of Saturday’s rally at the Place de la Republique.
Friday’s attack took place at the cultural center and a nearby restaurant and hair salon. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the suspect was clearly targeting foreigners, and had acted alone and was not officially affiliated with any extreme-right or other radical movements. The suspect had past convictions for illegal arms possession and armed violence.
Kurdish activists said they had recently been warned by police of threats to Kurdish targets.
In 2013, three women Kurdish activists, including Sakine Cansiz, a founder of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, were found shot dead at a Kurdish center in Paris.
Turkey’s army has been battling against Kurdish militants affiliated with the banned PKK in southeast Turkey as well as in northern Iraq. Turkey’s military also recently launched a series of air and artillery strikes against Syrian Kurdish militant targets in northern Syria.

Powell says ‘no decision’ on the Fed’s next move on rates
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stressed Wednesday that the central bank’s policymakers have yet to decide how large an interest rate hike to impose at its next meeting in two weeks in its drive to defeat high inflation.
“If — and I stress that no decision has been made on this — if the totality of the data were to indicate that faster tightening is warranted, we would be prepared to increase the pace of rate hikes,” Powell said on his second day of semi-annual testimony to Congress.
The Fed chair had made a similar comment Tuesday to a Senate panel but had not included the caveat that “no decision has been made.” Some economists and Wall Street traders had interpreted those remarks as a signal that the Fed would raise its benchmark rate by a substantial half-point at its March 21-22 meeting.
As a result, stock prices tumbled Tuesday, and some bond yields rose as markets anticipated a faster pace of rate hikes.
When the Fed raises its key short-term rate, it typically leads to more expensive mortgages, auto loans, credit card lending and business loans. Higher rates can discourage consumers from spending and thereby cool the economy and inflation. But they also raise the risk that the economy will fall into a recession.
Powell’s more nuanced remarks Wednesday appeared to be an effort to quell any assumption that the Fed has already decided to raise rates more aggressively based on a recent string of data that pointed to strong economic growth and still-high inflation.
The Fed slowed its pace of hikes in February, boosting its key rate by just a quarter-point, after a half-point increase in December and three-quarters of a point four times before that. Powell’s comments Tuesday had appeared to imply that the Fed would return to larger rate hikes at its next meeting March 21-22.
But under questioning Wednesday from Rep. Patrick McHenry, the Republican chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Powell said the Fed would closely scrutinize data on hiring, retail sales and inflation that will be released next week before settling on its next interest rate moves.
“We’re not on a preset path, and we will be guided by the incoming data,” Powell said. “We have not made any decision about the March meeting.”
Some analysts concluded that Powell’s remarks Wednesday implied that either a half-point or a quarter-point hike is possible when the Fed next meets in two weeks.
Krishna Guha, an analyst at Evercore ISI, an investment bank, wrote Wednesday that “we take some reassurance from these remarks that Powell intended to signal” that a half-point hike, along with a quarter-point hike, is a “live option” this month and does not necessarily “signal a strong default” for a half-point increase.
At the same time, Powell reiterated his comments Tuesday that had signaled that the Fed will ultimately raise its key rate higher than it had forecast in December.
“The data we’ve seen so far this year,” he said Wednesday, “suggests that the ultimate level of rates will need to be higher.”
On Tuesday, economists at Goldman Sachs said they now expected the central bank to raise its benchmark short-term rate to roughly 5.6%, up from its current 4.6%. That would be above the 5.1% level that the Fed’s policymakers had penciled in at their meeting in December.

NEW YORK (AP) — After Richard Rojas was kicked out of the Navy, he began sharing disturbing thoughts that were coursing through his head — that cars were following him, that aircraft were dusting him with chemicals, that his meals were poisoned.
An uncle, Ramon Reyes, said Rojas offered a self-diagnosis: “You know that I’m crazy. And they’re not giving me the help that I need.”
Whether Rojas was correct about his mental condition is at the crux of a trial in New York, where he mounted a sidewalk in his car in 2017 and mowed down pedestrians in Times Square.
A teen tourist from Michigan died in front of her mother in the attack. More than 20 other people were injured.
Rojas, 31, is fighting murder, assault and other charges at a trial unfolding in the shadow of mass shootings across the country and the political debate in which gun-control opponents have sought to blame the violence on failures in mental health care.
At the outset, state Judge Daniel Conviser floated the possibility of a paradoxical outcome in the Rojas case: Jurors could find Rojas guilty, while at the same time deciding that he “lacked responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect.” The judge said the finding would qualify him for an open ended “involuntary mental commitment” instead of a lengthy prison term.
Prosecutors concede Rojas had some mental challenges and that a motive for the attack is not clear cut. But they also argue that the defendant had led a mostly normal life — serving in the military, getting a real estate license, making friends — and that he doesn’t meet the insanity standard needed to clear him of responsibility. They say he had several chances to stop his car on a bustling day in Times Squares but ruthlessly kept going until he crashed.
“It was impossible for him not to know exactly what was happening,” prosecutor Alfred Peterson told the jury.
A prosecution case that ended late last month focused largely on harrowing accounts of victims who survived the carnage in Times Square. With the trial winding down, the defense has been trying to counter in recent days by drilling down on Rojas’ troubled past to try to convince the jury he was too sick to know what he was doing.
Family members, including Reyes, have described the wave of paranoia from the witness stand.
A key defense witness has been Ziv Cohen, a psychiatrist on the faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College and at Columbia University, who diagnosed Rojas as schizophrenic. Unlike more common psychological disorders, schizophrenia is “a brain disease, so it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain” that made Rojas prone to hallucinations, Cohen testified.
While in the Navy, Rojas began to hear voices, the doctor said. In particular, he was hearing from “James” — a “supernatural, God-like figure who had special information,” he testified.
On the day of the rampage, his imaginary guide told Rojas he needed to crash his car into “spirits” around him in order to send them to heaven and to release Rojas “from the torture that he is experiencing as part of his psychosis,” he testified.
“At a certain point, the psychosis becomes so severe that he can’t control his behavior anymore,” he said.
Family members testified about their despair over seeing Rojas disintegrate after he was discharged from the Navy in 2014 — the result of a court martial stemming from an arrest for beating a cab driver.
A brother, Wilmer Veras, took the witness stand to recall how a delusional Rojas was obsessed with keeping tape over his phone and laptop camera lenses in case he was being watched. When out in the world, he would “look for things that weren’t there” and “say people were following him around.” He even accused Veras of “doing voodoo on him.”
At that point, “I told him he really needed to get help; that he was really losing it,” Veras said.
The uncle, Ramon Reyes, recounted a phone call a few days before the Times Square crash in which Rojas asked for help. Reyes told him to come by his home the next day so he could take him to a doctor, but “he never showed up,” he said.
When a relative contacted Reyes saying she saw a TV report about an arrest that had images of someone who looked like Rojas, the uncle began frantically calling his nephew hoping it wasn’t him, he testified. The uncle was asked if Rojas ever picked up.
“No,” the witness responded, then wept.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is aiming to showcase the Democratic coalition rallying around his reelection bid as he announces on Wednesday his campaign’s national advisory board of prominent elected officials who will assist his 2024 campaign.
The diverse group of 50 officials includes representatives from nearly every facet of the Democratic firmament. It brings together three of Biden’s 2020 primary rivals — Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar — and at least two contenders who eyed the Oval Office had Biden decided not to run for another term, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. They’re joined by progressive favorite Rep. Maxwell Frost, new party rising stars including Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and prolific fundraisers like Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is chairing the group, whose members the campaign says will tap into their donor networks for Biden, make media appearances on his behalf, and reach out to their supporters and communities to make the case directly to voters for another Biden term.
Members of the board appeared in a new video from the campaign Wednesday to highlight their support of Biden’s reelection and encouraged their supporters to follow suit. More members are likely to be added as the campaign progresses.
“The Democratic Party is fortunate to have an incredible slate of passionate and compelling leaders, all of whom are united behind the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign,” campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said. “They are representative of the broad, diverse coalition of voters who came together in 2020 to deliver President Biden and Vice President Harris a historic victory, and we are so grateful for their dedication to help this campaign prevail over the MAGA extremist agenda and help President Biden finish the job for the American people.”
The announcement comes as Biden, who’s 80, has sought to dismiss concerns among some Democrats about his age, with polls showing many in his party would prefer he doesn’t seek another term, and to address any concerns about his party’s enthusiasm for another bid for the Oval Office.
To prevail again, Biden will need the alliance of young voters and Black voters — particularly women — along with blue-collar Midwesterners, moderates and disaffected Republicans who helped him beat then-President Donald Trump in 2020.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – An investigation into deaths in jails and prisons has lawmakers calling for more transparency and accountability.
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., say in a new report that the Department of Justice failed to count and report the deaths of nearly 1,000 people in prisons and jails in 2021. They held a hearing on Tuesday to present their findings and hear from witnesses who have been impacted by those deaths.
Belinda Maley was one of the witnesses. She says her son Matthew died from heart problems after being in jail in Chatham County, Georgia.
“It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever had to endure and I don’t want anyone else to have to do that, to have to go through this,” Maley said.
Vanessa Fano shares that tragic connection with Maley, and also testified in front of lawmakers at the hearing. Her brother Jonathan died by suicide while he was in a Baton Rouge, Louisiana prison.
“People who are going into those prisons are coming out in caskets,” Fano said. “My brother needed support, needed medical aid, needed psychiatric care and he received none of those.”
Senators Johnson and Ossoff says the deaths are part of a problematic pattern of uncounted deaths.
“The American people deserve the truth here,” Johnson said.
Sen. Ossoff says the DOJ not accurately recording who is dying and how it’s happening makes it impossible to implement life-saving reforms.
“What the United States is allowing to happen on our watch in prisons, jails and detention centers nationwide is a moral disgrace,” Ossoff said.
While it’s too late for Jonathan and Matthew, their families want their stories to inspire change.
“Because your government is supposed to be watching for your best interests,” Maley said.
“Acknowledging that there are flaws and pushing for changes to occur so that those flaws don’t continue taking other lives,” Fano added.

NEW YORK (AP) — Geoff Wonfor, a Grammy-winning British filmmaker who directed the Beatles' acclaimed “Anthology” documentary series and worked on the 1980s music program “The Tube” as well as several projects with Paul McCartney, has died at age 73.
His death was confirmed Tuesday by daughter Sam Wonfor, who said he died in Newcastle, where he grew up. Additional details were not immediately available.
Released in the mid-1990s, “The Beatles Anthology” was an authorized, multimedia project that included an eight-part documentary, three double albums and a coffee table book. Wonfor spent 4 1/2 years on the film, which combined archival footage with new interviews with the then-three surviving Beatles (McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, who died in 2001). Wonfor's challenges included weaving in commentary from John Lennon, who had been murdered in 1980.
“He was very vocal (in interviews),” Wonfor told the Los Angeles Times in 1995. “I hit on the idea of listening to his interviews that were done ... getting all the pertinent questions and answers to any year we were doing (in the documentary) and then pose the exact same question to the other three Beatles, so it looked like the four of them were answering the same questions, which of course they were."
The Anthology helped renew worldwide obsession in a band that had hardly been forgotten and brought Wonfor and co-director Bob Smeaton a Grammy in 1997 for best long form music video.
Wonfor also directed the McCartney videos “In the World Tonight” and “Young Boy” and a McCartney concert video from the Cavern Club, the Liverpool venue where the Beatles played many of their early shows. He was on hand, too, for a Beatles “reunion” from the 1990s — a video of “Real Love,” a song left unfinished by Lennon that the remaining Beatles completed and recorded.
His other credits included “Band Aid 20,” a documentary about the anniversary re-recording of the British charity song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and “Sunday for Sammy,” a tribute to the late British actor Sammy Johnson.
Wonfor had been prominent in British entertainment since the 1980s, when he directed a handful of episodes of “The Tube” and made a documentary about “Shanghai Surprise,” a feature film produced by Harrison and starring Madonna and Sean Penn. His work with Harrison would unexpectedly lead to the biggest undertaking of his career.
“I was at my dad's and it was Paul McCartney who rang up and he says, 'Hello there, you're alright'? And I say, 'Yeah, I'm fine,'" Wonfor explained during a 2018 appearance at the Newcastle Film Festival.
“He said, ‘I was talking to a mate of yours last night.’ I went, ‘Who the hell does he know that I know?’ He says, ‘A little guy called George Harrison.’ ... And he says, ‘Anyway,' and we talked long into the night and he says, ‘We want to do a history of the Beatles and you are that man.’”

(The Hill) – Former President Trump could be facing mounting legal troubles as new details emerge about the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation that prompted an FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump has called for the release of more information tied to the search, an effort that corresponds with bashing the agency for what he claims is a politically motivated attack.
Meanwhile, the DOJ has fought to limit how much information will come out about an ongoing investigation with Trump as its target.
Here’s what we’ve learned this week.
Trump eyed for ‘willful’ violations of the Espionage Act
Although the most highly sensitive materials underlying the Mar-a-Lago search warrant remained under seal this week, the judge presiding over the case did make one court record newly available to the public. That document, known as a criminal cover sheet, provided additional insight into the nature of the crime under investigation, according to some legal experts.
It was already known that investigators believed the materials housed at Trump’s residence were linked to a likely violation of the Espionage Act, a WWI-era statute designed to help safeguard the country’s vital national security secrets. What the criminal cover sheet revealed, after it was unsealed Thursday, is that law enforcement had probable cause to think a “willful retention of national defense information” occurred.
That new detail appeared to lend further support to the theory — one that was already widely assumed — that Trump himself is the target of the investigation.
“This aligns with what we know so far from public media reporting, as well as the minimal information we have derived from the unsealed court filings,” Bradley Moss, a national security lawyer and partner in the law office of Mark S. Zaid, told The Hill in an email.
“All indications are that the government’s argument will amount to three things: (1) Trump took the properly marked classified records with him to Florida; (2) he left them in boxes in the basement; (3) when confronted about it, he willfully held onto records despite demands from NARA and later the FBI to return them,” he added, referring to the National Archives and Records Administration, which takes custody of White House records when a president leaves office.
DOJ appears to be investigating Trump’s claims around a ‘standing order’
In a sign the Department of Justice is not content to have simply secured the return of classified materials, its investigators appear to be contacting former Trump-era officials about his claims of having declassified the contents removed from his Florida home.
According to reporting from Rolling Stone, the FBI has thus far been conducting voluntary interviews with those who could have knowledge of such an order, including former staff on the National Security Council.
Shortly after the warrant was executed, Trump claimed the documents removed from his home were “all declassified.” He later elaborated in a statement to Fox News that he had “a standing order” to declassify any documents.
“If the DOJ was really focused on recovering the classified material and was not criminally investigating the former president, they would not be calling in former NSC officials to question them about Trump’s supposed “standing order” declassifying documents,” Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, wrote on Twitter.
National security law experts who previously spoke with The Hill noted that while Trump would have broad powers as president to declassify documents, such a practice is usually done on a case-by-case basis, and also triggers notification to other agencies that hold classified information, so that they can reclassify them appropriately in their own system.
“Realistically, no one actually believes that Trump had such an order. It was not written down anywhere, doesn’t make a lot of sense (as some of his own appointees have pointed out), and was never raised by Trump’s lawyers during their communications with DOJ,” Mariotti continued.
Even if Trump did declassify documents, that isn’t a defense for the Espionage Act, one of the three statutes cited in the warrant. That law only requires mishandling national defense information to trigger a violation.
Trump wants it all released
Former President Trump and his allies have responded to the government’s desire for redactions with calls for the release of the full document.
“Pres. Trump has made his view clear that the American people should be permitted to see the unredacted affidavit related to the raid and break-in of his home. Today, magistrate Judge Reinhard rejected the DOJ’s cynical attempt to hide the whole affidavit from Americans,” Taylor Budowich, a spokesperson for the former president, said Thursday.
Trump separately posted on Truth Social, his social media platform, calling for the “immediate release” of the unredacted affidavit, citing the need for transparency. He also called for Reinhart to recuse himself from the case without giving a clear reason.
The former president and his allies have attacked the credibility of the FBI and DOJ ever since the search was executed earlier this month, pointing to the handling of the Russia investigation to allege it is the latest politically biased attack on Trump.
By calling for the unredacted affidavit to be released when the government opposes such a move, Trump will likely further fuel distrust in the Department of Justice among his supporters.
DOJ is working through redactions
The Department of Justice, however, does not want its affidavit for the warrant fully released.
The department argued that the affidavit should remain under seal in its entirety, saying the information it contained laid out a “roadmap” to its ongoing investigation, “highly sensitive information about witnesses,” and “specific investigative techniques.”
But a federal magistrate judge on Thursday dismissed efforts by the DOJ to maintain the affidavit entirely under seal.
“I find that on the present record the Government has not met its burden of showing that the entire affidavit should remain sealed,” Judge Bruce Reinhart said in a brief order.
Reinhart said there were parts of the affidavit that “could be presumptively unsealed,” The New York Times reported.
The DOJ has until noon Thursday to submit their proposed redactions, after which Reinhart, who approved the initial warrant, will review them — meaning a redacted version of the affidavit could be released as early as next week.
What it means for Trump and 2024
Casting a cloud over the entire proceeding is the fact that Trump is likely to announce a 2024 White House bid in the coming months, though he may wait until after the midterm elections.
Trump denied in an interview last month with New York Magazine that any presidential run would be a way to insulate himself from criminal consequences as he faces investigations over election interference in Georgia, business dealings in New York, the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021, and now his handling of classified information.
And while some experts believe it’s unlikely Trump will ultimately be indicted over the documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago, the political consequences could still loom large over his desire to return to the White House.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll conducted this week found that 54% of Republicans believe the FBI behaved irresponsibly following the Mar-a-Lago search, compared to 23% who said the agencies behaved responsibly.
Comparatively, 71% of Democrats felt law enforcement had acted responsibly, as did 50% of independent voters. It is the latter category that bears watching in determining how the search could swing Trump’s political fortunes.

Georgia police department under fire for using image of Black man for handgun training class
VILLA RICA, Ga. (WANF/Gray News) - There are calls for changes at a Georgia police department after a controversial post on the department’s Facebook page went viral, WANF reports.
The post showed a silhouette of a Black man being used as a shooting target during a gun training exercise at the Villa Rica Police Department.
“I started getting tagged from all the residents and organizations pertaining to the silhouette target of just this individual Black man, who in my opinion had been dressed to look like a thug,” said Dominique Conteh, president of the Carroll County NAACP branch.
Conteh said the post shows negligence by the department.
“What you start to do is condition people to think this race or these individuals I’ve trained on them, I’ve used them as targets,” he said.
Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour says the department uses a variety of targets approved by the Georgia Peace Officer Standard Training Council.
Mansour said the targets range in age, sex and race.
He said the photos posted were taken out of context.
“We had other photos that show us using other targets, but that one photo and video was put up and that’s where we messed up,” Mansour said.
The Carroll County NAACP shared a letter sent to Mansour on their social media page addressing the controversial Facebook post on the Villa Rica Police Department Facebook page. That post has since been deleted.
Villa Rica Mayor Gil McDougal sent this statement on the recent backlash: “I’d like to speak to you about the offensive post on the Villa Rica Police Department Facebook page that so many have commented on. I am personally embarrassed by it, and as soon as it was brought to my attention last night I and other city staff began to address this situation. This administration will be asking our human resources director and the city attorney to select an outside organization to review how this entire incident came about, not just the post itself. Meanwhile, we are removing the video and images from the post but I have directed that the comments to remain so that people can freely express their opinions about it. This incident does not reflect the values of this community and I will keep you informed as this process continues.’
Moving forward, both sides acknowledge there is room for improvement.
“It was not an intentional act. We do everything we can to not offend anyone,” Mansour said
Conteh said the NAACP will be addressing the situation.
“This is just the beginning. This is just the catalyst and it’s time for a change,” Conteh said.

FLINT, MI -- The Court Street ramp to southbound I-475 and the southbound I-475 ramp to westbound I-69 will be closed next week to complete bridge demolition and deck replacements.
The Michigan Department of Transportation announced the closings are planned for Monday, June 13, as part of a $100-million project to rebuild more than two miles of I-69 as well as work at the I-475 and I-69 interchange.
The project is designed to improve safety and ride quality and to support a major commercial route, MDOT said in announcing the closures.
The ramp closings are expected to remain in place until July, according to the agency.

Pentagon leak suspect due back in court as judge weighs detention
(AP) - A judge is poised to decide Friday whether a Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking highly classified military documents will remain behind bars while he awaits trial.
Jack Teixeira is due back in federal court in Worcester, Massachusetts, where a magistrate judge is expected to hear arguments on prosecutors’ request to keep the 21-year-old locked up before issuing his ruling.
Teixeira, who faces charges under the Espionage Act, is accused of sharing secret military documents about Russia’s war in Ukraine and other top national security issues in a chat room on Discord, a social media platform that started as a hangout for gamers.
Prosecutors said in court papers filed this week that Teixeira was caught by superiors months before his April arrest taking notes on classified information or viewing intelligence not related to his job.
He was twice admonished by superiors in September and October, and again observed in February viewing information “that was not related to his primary duty and was related to the intelligence field,” according to internal Air National Guard memos filed in court.
The revelations have raised questions about why Teixeira continued to have access to military secrets after what prosecutors described as “concerning actions” related to his handling of classified information.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh was questioned Thursday about why Teixeira’s leaders did not take action after the concerns were raised. Singh referred to the Justice Department and Air Force investigations, and said those concerns and potential lack of response to them were areas the inquiries would examine.
Teixeira has been in jail since his arrest last month on charges stemming from the most consequential intelligence leak in years.
Magistrate Judge David Hennessy heard arguments on detention from lawyers late last month, but put off an immediate decision and scheduled a second hearing for Friday. The judge has said he expects to rule Friday.
The high-profile case is being prosecuted by the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office, whose leader — U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins — is expected to resign by the end of the day Friday after two federal watchdog agencies found she committed a slew of ethical and legal violations.
Teixeira has not yet entered a plea. His lawyers are urging the judge to release Teixeira to his father’s home, noting he didn’t flee when media outlets began publishing his name shortly before his April 13 arrest. His lawyer told the judge last month that Teixeira “will answer the charges” and “will be judged by his fellow citizens.”
Teixeira’s lawyers noted in court papers this week there have been many Espionage Act cases in which courts have approved release or the government did not seek to keep the person behind bars pretrial.
During last month’s hearing, prosecutors told the judge that Teixeira kept an arsenal of weapons before his arrest and had a history of violent and disturbing remarks.
Teixeira frequently had online discussions about violence, saying in one November message that he would “kill a (expletive) ton of people” if he had his way, because it would be “culling the weak minded,” according to prosecutors. Years earlier in high school, he was suspended when a classmate overheard him discussing Molotov cocktails and other weapons as well as racial threats, prosecutors said.
The Justice Department said Teixeira used his government computer in July to look up mass shootings and government standoffs, including the terms “Ruby Ridge,” “Las Vegas shooting,” “Mandalay Bay shooting,” “Uvalde” and “Buffalo tops shooting” — an apparent reference to the 2022 racist mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket.
Investigators believe Teixeira was the leader of an online private chat group on Discord called Thug Shaker Central, which drew roughly two dozen enthusiasts who talked about their favorite types of guns and shared memes and jokes. The group also held a running discussion on wars that included talk of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The leaked documents appear to detail U.S. and NATO aid to Ukraine and U.S. intelligence assessments regarding U.S. allies that could strain ties with those nations. Some show real-time details from February and March of Ukraine’s and Russia’s battlefield positions and precise numbers of battlefield gear lost and newly flowing into Ukraine from its allies.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Authorities in Serbia on Thursday detained 85 migrants near the border with Hungary where a clash earlier this month apparently involving people smugglers left one person dead and several injured.
A police task force found automatic weapons, guns, knives and other weapons and ammunition during the sweep in the northern town of Subotica, police said in a statement.
Criminal charges have been filed against two migrants and six have been arrested, while the rest are suspected of less serious offenses, the statement said.
“No criminal gang will be exist without being uncovered and dismantled and its members punished according to law,” said Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin. “No one can carry guns in Serbia and no one can traffic in people.”
Vulin added that police have stepped up their operations in areas where smuggling gangs are active.
“Serbia won’t allow our way of life to be jeopardized in any way by criminals who profit on human misery and hardship,” he said.
Police described the operation as an “action designed to curb criminal acts and offenses committed by migrants.”
The raid followed a major clash by groups of migrants in the border area in early July that left one person dead and several injured. Migrants gather by the Hungarian border hoping to cross from the Balkan country and move further west.
Sneaking over Serbia’s northern border with the European Union neighbor often takes months because Hungary has put up two rows of barbed wire fence and deployed heavy security to stop migration. Migrants therefore often turn to people smugglers in order to continue their journey toward the EU’s more prosperous nations.
The Serbian police statement said that special police and counterterrorism unit members, along with state security agents took part in the task force that carried out the operation early Thursday.
Police photos from the scene showed fully equipped officers wearing bulletproof vests and helmets standing guard over a group of migrants kneeling in a field with their hands over their heads.
Migrants fleeing wars, violence or poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia routinely face perils on their long journeys toward better lives. From Serbia, migrants also cross into Croatia, Bosnia or Romania.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Almost three months after Roe v. Wade was overturned, the landscape of abortion access is still shifting significantly in some states, sometimes very quickly.
Changing restrictions and litigation in neighboring Indiana and Ohio this week illustrate the whiplash for providers and patients navigating sudden changes in what is allowed where.
Sister clinics who just weeks ago were sending patients from Ohio, where most abortions were banned, to Indiana, where the procedure was allowed, have now flip-flopped roles after the two states’ access restrictions reversed, at least temporarily.
Here is a deeper look at the current state of the shifting national landscape:
WHAT CHANGED THIS WEEK?
An Ohio judge blocked enforcement on Wednesday of the state’s ban on most abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected. The ban had been in effect since shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe on June 24. The judge’s action allows abortions to resume in pregnancies up to 20 weeks’ gestation for 14 days.
Then, on Thursday, a new Indiana law took effect that bans most abortions, marking its status as the first state in the nation to approve new abortion restrictions since the high court’s abortion ruling. Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the ban into law Aug. 5.
Under the new law, abortions are permitted only in cases of rape and incest before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the patient; or if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly. A doctor who performs an illegal abortion or who fails to file required reports must lose their medical license.
HOW IS THIS AFFECTING PROVIDERS?
All seven Indiana abortion clinics lost their licenses Thursday under the state’s new law, which allows abortions to only be performed in hospitals or outpatient surgical centers owned by hospitals. More than 98% of the state’s abortions were done by those clinics in 2021.
Abortion clinics in the state told The Associated Press they will remain open to refer patients out of state, including to neighboring Ohio.
“I thought that today would be the worst day,” Dr. Katie McHugh, a provider at the Indianapolis abortion clinic Women’s Med, told the AP on Thursday. “But I think the worst day was yesterday, knowing that the patients that we saw in the office yesterday were the last ones that we would see, and knowing how much it meant for all of us that were there — the staff, the physicians and the patients — that we were able to provide that care to the last moment.”
In Ohio, clinics were preparing for a high volume of patients coming in from surrounding states following the judge’s ruling — though they realize it could be short-lived.
“Well, I never expected to be a surge state,” said Iris Harvey, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio, using the new lingo of the field. “For 14 days, we might be.”
Ohio clinics that had been prohibited from performing most abortions will resume those services beginning Friday.
HOW IS THIS AFFECTING PATIENTS?
The shifting legal landscape has required patients in affected states to regroup, sometimes repeatedly. Kellie Copeland, executive director of Pro-Choice Ohio, an abortion rights advocacy group, said some have been unable to terminate their pregnancies.
Harvey said Planned Parenthood has set up a central location for abortion requests and hired additional staff, oftentimes social workers, to help people navigate various states’ laws as they change.
Lawyers were still reviewing whether patients traveling from Indiana to Ohio would be able to get anything but a surgical abortion. The two-pill regimen used in medication abortions would generally mean taking one pill in a permissive state and one in a restrictive state, the latter potentially breaking the law, providers said.
Anti-abortion groups continue to tout existing restrictions and the new ones being passed in the states in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
“Ohio is pro-life and this law was supported by the people,” said Margie Christie, president of the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio. “Women do not need abortion in Ohio. We have abundant resources for mothers and their children to thrive.
WHEN WILL THE LANDSCAPE SHIFT AGAIN?
With Indiana’s ban taking effect, the nation has 13 states with current bans on abortion at any point in pregnancy and one more, Georgia, with a ban on abortions after fetal cardiac activity can be detected — usually around six weeks, often before women realize they’re pregnant.
Though it had not yet been signed by the governor, a ban approved by West Virginia lawmakers Wednesday had already prompted the state’s only abortion clinic to close, pushing potentially more patients to neighboring Ohio. Arizona’s ban is scheduled to kick in Sept. 24, with legal cases and legislative action expected to continue to change the status of abortion access of some states.
Then, on Nov. 8, abortion-related measures will be on ballots in at least five states. In California, Michigan and Vermont, voters will be asked to protect the right to abortion. In Kentucky, the question is whether to amend the state constitution to declare that it does not include the right to abortion. And Montana voters will decide on a measure to require medical care for infants born alive after an attempted abortion.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI -- Small businesses across Washtenaw County impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic may be able to receive financial help starting in January.
Washtenaw County is launching its Small Business Growth Activator Program early next year to help support and expand small businesses across the county.
The program, directed by the Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development, aims to help 80 to 100 businesses by providing $5,000 grants and free business assistance for those affected by COVID-19. Businesses can be mobile, based online, at home, or be in a brick-and-mortar location.
The program is meant to help micro-enterprises that are often overlooked, said Cheranissa Roach, Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development economic opportunity manager.
“We are hoping this program fills in the gap for the places that need help and support to stabilize and grow their businesses,” she said. “For a lot of micro-enterprise business owners this is the way they feed and take care of their families so to be able to support them is just really pivotal.”
These efforts will not only aid business, but also will increase and help Washtenaw County’s economy, Roach said.
The program will start with up to $1 million of Federal CARES Act funding approved by the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners and Washtenaw Urban County in 2022.
To be eligible to apply, small businesses must be located in Washtenaw County, have five employees or less including the owner, have been in business since March 16, 2020, and have the owner’s household income at or below 80% of the area’s median income.
Businesses that closed after March 16, 2020, but wish to reopen, are still eligible for the program, Roach said.
Along with providing financial help, the program is partnering with five organizations to bring business coaching and classes to teach small businesses ways to be successful. Eligible businesses can choose and participate in one program.
The programs will offer help with accounting, website design and personal business coaching, as well as other tips and tricks. To see eligibility or to apply for this program, click here.
Those who aren’t eligible for the program should keep an eye out for other events that may come up in the future, Roach said, adding that she is working to create an opportunity next year for businesses to connect with helpful organizations and to find additional funding.
“We know that some people are going to be missed, but we are trying to help as many as we can,” she said.

AMHERST — For all his offensive success on Saturday, Scott Hershberger secured the NHIAA Division III championship for the Campbell High School football team with a tackle.
Hershberger and Alex St. Pierre’s third-quarter goal-line stop on a two-point conversion try held as the deciding play in the Cougars’ 16-14 triumph over Trinity at Souhegan High School.
The third-seeded Cougars (9-2) last won the D-III title in 2017 and took their first division crown in 2014. Campbell secured this championship with postseason wins over Monadnock and Trinity — the only teams it lost to in the regular season.
The top-seeded, previously unbeaten Pioneers (10-1) pulled within two on the last play of the third quarter — a 54-yard scoring run by freshman Anthony DiGiantommaso (four carries, 74 yards). Trinity then called a two-point-conversion run play similar to the one that led to its first-half touchdown: a Jack Service quarterback draw up the middle.
Hershberger and St. Pierre, both sophomores, stood Service up at the goal line.
“We were expecting the jet sweep but I knew Jack Service wanted the two-point (run),” Hershberger said. “He wanted to win the game for them. I just had to stay disciplined and watch for it and it happened.”
Trinity forced a turnover on downs and began its final drive with 3:44 remaining. It ended 1:02 and five plays later when Hershberger’s brother, Nick, recovered a Service fumble.
“I felt like we had a shot to score,” Pioneers coach Rob Cathcart said of his team’s last possession. “We had enough time to really get it done but it didn’t happen. Sometimes it’s just a matter of executing and doing what you need to do in moments of pressure and that’s not always easy.”
Time was an issue for Trinity. The Pioneers had possession for just 8:30 thanks to long Campbell drives fueled largely by Hershberger runs.
Hershberger, while nursing a banged-up left knee, rushed 42 times for 198 yards, two touchdowns and two two-point conversions. His first TD — a 38-yard, untouched dash through the heart of the Pioneers defense — opened the game’s scoring with 8:13 left in the first half.
“Scott really came to as a running back this year,” Campbell coach Glen Costello said. “We saw glimpses of it last year. Towards the end of the season, he got better and better. He worked his butt off in the offseason — got bigger, faster, stronger and then these boys up front obviously paved the way.”
Trinity pulled even at 8-8 with 8.4 seconds left in the first half on a 5-yard Service quarterback draw. DeVohn Ellis then ran in the Pioneers’ two-point conversion.
Service’s score came five plays after the Cougars turned the ball over on downs on a fourth-and-2 incompletion at the Trinity 40.
Trinity got the ball to start the second half and began its drive at the Campbell 49 after a Cougars onside kick try but went three-and-out.
“A couple times it (momentum) was there but we weren’t able to capitalize and execute when we had those opportunities,” Cathcart said.
Cougars senior Christopher Corbett had an interception and junior Logan Daigle rushed for 45 yards on 13 carries.
Service went 1 of 9 passing for 9 yards and ran nine times for 13 yards. DiGiantommaso connected with Ellis for a 43-yard trick-play pass to set up Service’s TD run.
“We’re a grinding team,” Scott Hershberger said. “They were a big-play type of team and it was a grind type of game so we just came out on top.”

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — (AP) — Wildlife officials were trying to capture a wayward sea otter Thursday that has been wrestling surfboards away from surfers and aggressively approaching kayakers off the coast of Santa Cruz, California.
The 5-year-old female otter has shown aggression toward people for several weeks and poses a public safety risk, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a statement.
Video and photographs shared on social media show the marine mammal getting on top of different surfboards — on at least one occasion biting and tearing chunks off a board — and aggressively approaching surfers.
A team of wildlife experts with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium were working to capture and rehome the animal, the service said.
“While there have been no confirmed reports of injury, due to the highly unusual behavior of this otter, kayakers, surfers, and others recreating in the area should not approach the otter or encourage the otter’s interactions,” the USFWS said.
Federal wildlife officials said the otter’s behavior is highly unusual and the exact cause for such behavior is unknown. Once captured, the otter will be evaluated by aquarium vets.
“Aggressive behavior in female southern sea otters may be associated with hormonal surges or due to being fed by humans,” federal officials said.
They said it is not the first time the otter, which was born in captivity and later released to the wild, has shown aggressiveness toward humans. The sea otter was observed with a pup after returning to the Santa Cruz area in May 2022 and four months later exhibited similar aggressive behavior.
In September, a team of California wildlife officials and Monterey Bay Aquarium staff successfully hazed the otter, preventing further incidents through the winter, the USFWS said.
Southern sea otters are listed as federally threatened under the Endangered Species Act and are protected under the Marine Mammal Act and California state law.

- Siemens' advanced mixed-signal simulation platform accelerates mixed-signal verification and helps boost productivity
- Symphony Pro supports Accellera and other advanced digital verification methodologies for today's leading-edge mixed-signal designs
PLANO, Texas, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To address the design verification challenges of the world's most complex mixed-signal systems-on-chip (SoCs), Siemens Digital Industries Software today introduces the new Symphony™ Pro platform. This next generation solution extends the robust mixed-signal verification capabilities of Siemens' proven Symphony platform to support new and advanced Accellera standardized verification methodologies with a powerful, comprehensive and intuitive visual debug cockpit, resulting in productivity improvements of up to 10X compared to legacy solutions.
Next-generation automotive, imaging, IoT, 5G, computing and storage applications are driving strong demand for greater analog and mixed-signal content in next-generation SoCs. Mixed-signal circuits are increasingly ubiquitous -- whether it is integrating the analog signal chain with the digital-front end (DFE) in 5G massive-MIMO radios, digital RF-sampling data converters in radar systems, image sensors combining analog pixel read-out circuits with digital image signal processing or feeding datacenter computing resources with ever more data using advanced mixed-signal circuits to deliver PAM4 signaling. For these and other highly advanced applications, mixed-signal circuits enable lower power, area, and cost while delivering ever-improving performance figures.
"Mixed-Signal functional verification is increasingly vital for our sophisticated designs targeted for the imaging and automotive industries. We've participated in the early access program for Symphony Pro and have seen significant productivity gains thanks to advanced debugging capabilities and seamless support for multi-layer sandwich configurations in Symphony Pro," said Stephane Vivien, senior CAD manager, Imaging Division, STMicroelectronics. "We look forward to using Symphony Pro as our sign-off solution for present and future mixed-signal verification projects."
Increased application of digital control, digital calibration, and digital signal processing techniques in modern mixed-signal chip architectures is driving a paradigm shift in mixed-signal verification methodologies toward more digital-centric approaches. Siemens's new Symphony Pro platform -- built on the proven performance of Siemens' Symphony and Questa™ Visualizer platforms -- extends the rapid deployment of industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and Unified Power Format (UPF) driven low-power techniques into the mixed signal domain by offering fast simulation performance in a unified environment for exceptional throughput and capacity.
Modern mixed-signal SoCs integrate analog circuits with logic gates operating at very high clock speeds. This high frequency bi-directional signal flow at the boundary of analog and digital pushes the limit of manual debug methodologies impacting the overall time-to-results. Symphony Pro Visualizer MS environment offers a seamless debug experience across the entire mixed-signal design hierarchy with comprehensive analysis, automation, and ease-of-use for increased productivity.
"Our high-performance, energy-efficient chips designed for the IoT are analog intensive and mixed-signal in nature. To ensure high quality, we expanded our digital verification methodology to enable effective regression of our mixed-signal designs," said Jayanth Shreedhara, senior CAD manager at Silicon Labs. "Symphony Pro Visualizer mixed-signal technology accelerated debug turn-around time for our digital on top UVM test suites, enhancing our verification productivity from days to hours and dramatically improving our coverage closure."
"Our customers are rapidly advancing the state-of-the-art in mixed-signal SoC design across a wide range of applications, and in the process, they are driving the requirements for new innovations in the EDA tools required to design, verify, and validate these chips," said Ravi Subramanian, senior vice president of IC Verification at Siemens Digital Industries Software. "We are excited to deliver Symphony Pro, which combines our proven AFS, Questa and Visualizer technologies, to our customers, enabling the potential for them to realize key competitive advantages with a unified mixed-signal verification solution."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Three Dutch soldiers were shot and wounded early Saturday in a shooting in downtown Indianapolis after what local police believe was a disturbance outside the hotel where they were staying, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 3:30 a.m. EDT in Indianapolis’ entertainment district. Indianapolis police said officers found three men with gunshot wounds and they were taken to area hospitals.
The Dutch defense ministry said one soldier was in critical condition and the two others were conscious, while Indianapolis police said two of the soldiers were in critical condition and the third was stable.
The ministry said the three soldiers were from the Commando Corps and were in Indiana for training when the shooting occurred during their free time in front of the hotel where they were staying.
Indianapolis police said they believe some sort of altercation between the three victims and another person or people led to the shooting.
The ministry said that the shooting victims' families have been informed while Indianapolis police continue investigating the shooting.
No arrests have been made.
The Indiana National Guard said the soldiers had been training at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a 1,000-acre (405-hectare) complex about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of Indianapolis. The Guard said in a statement that the center is used for training by the Department of Defense “as well as other allies."
“The Dutch soldiers visited Indianapolis at the end of their duty day. Our thoughts and prayers are with the soldiers and families during this difficult time," the Guard said, WXIN-TV reported.
