Pressure is mounting on Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to step down as her prolonged absence from the Senate stymies Democratic business in the chamber with no clear end date.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) — closely followed by Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) — sent shockwaves from California to Washington on Wednesday when he said Feinstein should resign because the five-term senator is unable to carry out her responsibilities in her current condition. Feinstein, 89, has been absent from the Senate since early March when she was diagnosed with shingles.
In doing so, they became the first lawmakers to give voice to several years of whispered questions around the Capitol about Feinstein’s fitness to serve.
Feinstein responded with an acknowledgement that she would not be in the Capitol Monday when the Senate reconvenes after a two-week recess, and she requested to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee.
But that may not be enough for lawmakers who want to see her call it quits before her planned retirement at the end of 2024.
“It’s a step, but as has been reported, it’s not that simple,” Khanna said on CNN Thursday.
Khanna is the co-chair of Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-Calif.) campaign to replace Feinstein in the Senate. Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Katie Porter (D-Calif.) are also vying for the seat.
Khanna, who passed on his own bid for Feinstein’s seat, told CNN he “felt an obligation to say what so many colleagues are saying in private,” and Phillips, who has argued for a new generation of Democratic leadership in Washington, declared that it is “a dereliction of duty” for the Californian to remain in the Senate.
“My intent was not to make a splash, it was simply to say publicly what so many know privately,” Khanna told The Hill on Thursday. “While Sen. Feinstein has had an extraordinary, distinguished career, she’s simply unable now to fulfill her duties.”
At least one House Democrat, however, has a less charitable reading of his remarks.
“It’s no secret the governor said he would appoint a black woman if there were ever a senate vacancy. Calling for Senator Feinstein to resign as she battles shingles is a cynical way for Barbara Lee’s sole California congressional endorsement Ro Khanna to try and force an appointment of Barbara Lee, who trails far behind the race in fundraising,” a House Democrat told The Hill by text message on Thursday.
Still, Feinstein’s absence has left Senate Democrats in a tough spot. They are down one body, which, to the chagrin of the caucus, has brought the Judiciary Committee — which is responsible for confirming judges — to an even split, leaving the majority party unable to advance partisan nominees to floor votes.
There are 14 judicial nominees who have appeared for Judiciary Committee hearings but have not received a vote from the panel. On top of that, the committee has had to cancel three markups for nominees, mostly because of Feinstein’s health troubles. The panel last voted to advance a nominee on Feb. 16.
It remains to be seen whether her request for a temporary replacement on the panel will insulate her from further calls to resign, or if the floodgates will burst open.
The answer could depend on whether Democrats are able to secure a replacement on the panel.
“Certainly, the floodgates are open after being relatively quiet for the past couple of months, but it all depends on what happens next week. What does she do if Senate Republicans don’t agree?” said Jim Manley, who served as a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he will push for Feinstein to be replaced on the committee next week, but the process to do so is a tricky one with little precedent.
Temporarily assigning another Democrat to the panel would mean revising the committee arrangements and organizing agreement established at the outset of the new Congress. Schumer is expected to try to bring up the resolution through unanimous consent.
If a single senator blocks it, however, it will be subject to a filibuster and need 60 votes — including Republican support — to pass.
Republicans are expected to discuss how to proceed on this issue in the coming days as they return to Washington from the recent two-week recess. None, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) who is returning from his own five-week medical leave, have said publicly how they would vote.
NBC News reported on Thursday that aides say Republicans don’t seem inclined to help Democrats regain a majority on the committee.
Feinstein has yet to lay out a timeline for her return, only saying she hopes to be back “as soon as possible.”
In the meantime, the picture is complicated for Democrats who respect Feinstein as a lion of the Senate and a female trailblazer who has been at the forefront for 30 years. Her status, however, has made the situation “untenable,” according to Manley.
Even before her latest illness, rumors had floated around the Capitol about Feinstein’s age, mental acuity and memory lapses.
She stepped aside as the leading Democrat atop the Senate Judiciary Committee in late 2020, a move that followed intense criticism over her handling of the confirmations of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Feinstein also declined to take on the position of Senate president pro tempore, usually reserved for the most senior member of the party in power.
In February, just an hour after she announced her retirement, she appeared momentarily confused and seemingly forgot she had just done so.
“No one’s happy to be talking about it, but more and more folks are coming to believe that something’s got to be done,” Manley said. “It never ceases to amaze me how much some of these folks cling to the Senate. For some, it’s their end all and be all. They couldn’t handle life without being a senator.”
Most of the drive to replace Feinstein sooner rather than when her term expires is coming from the progressive activist wing of the party, one that is less willing to stand by and wait their turn as other portions of the party has been, especially in the Golden State.
“The last polls you’ve seen, voters have moved on from Dianne Feinstein. That’s the hard truth. The [California Democratic Party] didn’t support her last time she ran,” said Andrew Acosta, a Sacramento-based Democratic strategist, noting that Khanna himself ousted an incumbent House Democrat in a primary.
“There’s a lot more people who are ready to run and not wait, and you’re seeing that across the board,” Acosta said.
Of course, Khanna is supporting Lee, who would seem to be in prime position to be appointed to Feinstein’s seat if she were to call it quits early. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has vowed to name a Black woman to the seat. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) was also considered a leading choice for the spot, but she just started her tenure atop the nation’s second largest city.
The question, however, is whether Newsom’s choice would simply serve out the remainder of Feinstein’s term and not run for the spot, or plan to use the appointment to catapult them into the 2024 race.
“Is it a position of a caretaker? Or is it someone that’s in for the long haul and is going to run?” Acosta asked.
While Democrats have been weary of wading into the debate over Feinstein’s tenure, one prominent California liberal flocked to the senator’s defense: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The former Speaker — who is backing Schiff in the race — suggested that calls for Feinstein’s resignation were tinged with sexism.
“It’s interesting to me, I don’t know what political agendas are at work that are going after Sen. Feinstein in that way. I’ve never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way,” Pelosi said.
Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif.) sounded a similar note.
“Dear @SenFeinstein please get well soon. When women age or get sick, the men are quick to push them aside. When men age or get sick, they get a promotion. #WomensRights ARE #HumanRights,” she wrote on Twitter.

(NewsNation) – Testimony at the trial of a former “Family Feud” contestant accused of murdering his estranged wife revealed part of his internet history.
Timothy Bliefnick, 39, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and home invasion connected to the death of his estranged wife Becky Bliefnick, 41, in Quincy, Illinois.
In court Wednesday, the defendant’s internet history was discussed with prosecutors highlighting the following searches from Timothy Bliefnick:
- “How to open a door with a crowbar”
- “How to make a homemade silencer”
- “How to wash off gunpowder”
- “Average Quincy Police Department response time”
Becky Bliefnick’s body was discovered by a family member inside her home after she did not pick up her children from school. Authorities say she had been shot multiple times.
According to reports, the Bliefnicks were separated and going through divorce proceedings at the time of Becky Bliefnick’s death. A restraining order had also been filed against Timothy Bliefnick, who also filed one against his wife.
Becky Bliefnick’s sister took the stand Wednesday and described a text message she had received from her sister in 2021.
The text reads: “If something ever happens to me, make sure the number one person of interest is Tim. I am putting this in writing that I’m fearful he will somehow harm me.”
Under cross-examination, Becky Bliefnick’s sister said she did not relay that message to police before Becky died.
Timothy Bliefnick and some of his family members appeared on the long-running television game show “Family Feud” in 2020.
One of the questions asked by host Steve Harvey was, “What was the biggest mistake you made at your wedding?” Bliefnick answered “I do.”
He immediately told Harvey, “Not mine to say, not mine to say. I love my wife.” He also said, “I’m going to get in trouble for that, aren’t I?” Harvey responded, “It’s going to be a lot of hell to pay at your house.”
Timothy Bliefnick’s defense team claims the prosecution’s version of events on the deadly shooting is way too far-fetched for the father of three.

Exciting News! Upgraded ATV Trails in Caribou Will Connect Local Businesses
Work on Caribou ATV Trail
Work will soon get underway to expand parts of the ATV trail on the south side of Caribou. The upgrades will make the area of the trail accessible to local businesses all year round.
Southside Trail Connects Local Businesses
Gary Marquis, Superintendent of Caribou Parks and Recreation, is directing the improvements. He said “I’m calling it the southside trail extension. It’s going to connect from Russell’s Motel to the Caribou Inn and Convention Center, Northern Maine Brewing Co and Mike’s Quick Stop. Prior to this, we only had wintertime trail access. No summer access. This summer, the same trail we use in the wintertime will be upgraded and turned into an ATV trail. It will be a multi-use, year around trail system.”
Big Bonus to the Area
Marquis said the potential for the trail is massive. “It’s a huge marketing piece for Caribou. We can say, 98% of our businesses have trail access and accessibility year around. The businesses there have never had ATV access in the summertime. For the Caribou Inn and Convention Center, this is going to be absolutely humongous. They’ll have gas right there, a great restaurant in the hotel and another great restaurant with Northern Maine Brewing Co.”
The Goal is August or September
The southside trail is good to travel during the snowmobile season. The biggest issue is the wet area in the ATV season. The work is planned for this summer with the goal to have it ready by the middle of August to early September. Marquis said, “We’ve got to go in and dry it out. Put culverts where we need to put culverts. Get it so it’s rideable and you’re not always getting stuck on a four-wheeler.”
Funding and Grants
Funding for the project came from two grants - one from the Yamaha Outdoors Initiative for $10,000 and another grant from Polaris for $10,000. Marquis said the money should handle the whole project.
Maintaining the Trails
Caribou Parks and Recreation maintains approximately 85 miles of ATV trails. “We go as far north as Blackstone Siding, into Stockholm towards New Sweden, towards Washburn,” said Marquis.

SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — Netflix next month will unveil the first version of its video streaming service with ads, giving cost-conscious viewers a chance to watch most of its shows at a steep discount in exchange for putting up with commercial interruptions.
The ad-supported service is scheduled to debut Nov. 3 as Netflix tries to reverse a drop in subscribers. It will cost $7 per month in the U.S., a 55% markdown from Netflix’s most popular $15.50-per-month plan, which is ad-free.
Netflix’s ad-supported option will also be rolling out in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain and the U.K., according to a Thursday post by the company’s chief operating officer, Greg Peters.
Besides putting up with roughly four to five minutes of ads during each hour of viewing, Netflix subscribers who sign up for the cheaper service also won’t be able to download TV shows and movies to watch when their devices are offline. Peters also said a “limited” amount of programming available on the commercial-free service won’t be on the ad-supported version because of licensing issues.
Netflix’s 15-year-old streaming service has until now been commercial free, but the Los Gatos, California, company decided to head in a new direction six months ago after reporting its first loss in subscribers in more than a decade.
The customer erosion worsened a wrenching decline in its stock price that has wiped up more than $200 billion in shareholder wealth during the past 11 months. The shares rallied after Thursday’s announcement, but still have lost about two-thirds of their value since reaching their peak last November when the streaming service was still growing.
Through the first half of this year, Netflix lost 1.2 million subscribers, leaving it with nearly 221 million. Management in July predicted it would regain about 1 million of those subscribers during the summer months. The numbers for the July-September period are scheduled to be disclosed Tuesday.
Netflix is betting the low-priced option with ads will be particularly popular at a time that persistently high inflation is pressuring millions of households to curb their spending, particularly on discretionary items such as video streaming. The streaming market also has become crowded with tougher competition from the likes of Amazon, Apple and Walt Disney Co., which also is preparing to offer an ad-supported version of its service soon. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/tech-news/ap-technology/ap-netflix-sets-7-monthly-price-for-its-ad-supported-service/ | 2022-10-14 19:41:44 | 0 | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/tech-news/ap-technology/ap-netflix-sets-7-monthly-price-for-its-ad-supported-service/ |
On October 18, just six days before early voting began, the Texas secretary of state’s office announced that it was sending a team of inspectors to Harris County to monitor the election in the state’s most populous county. The inspectors would “perform randomized checks on election records” and “observe the handling and counting of ballots and electronic media.” The office also announced that Attorney General Ken Paxton would send a “task force” of attorneys to the county “to immediately respond to any legal issues identified by [the] Secretary of State, inspectors, poll watchers, or voters.”
State election inspectors are nothing new. The Secretary of State regularly deploys trained observers across Texas to ensure local election officials are complying with the law. Next week, 118 inspectors, most of them employees of various state agencies who volunteer their time, will fan out to seventy counties. But Harris County officials were alarmed by the prospect of a legal task force overseen by Paxton, who led a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“Our view is that this was designed to disrupt our election process,” said Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, the county’s chief civil lawyer. “It kind of lays a foundation to call into question our election results if they don’t like them.”
On October 20, Menafee, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and Houston mayor Sylvester Turner sent a joint letter to the United States Department of Justice requesting the deployment of federal monitors. Paxton’s task force, they wrote, appears “designed to chill voters’ trust in the election process in Harris County” and “to disrupt and intimidate local election workers.” Menefee told Texas Monthly that he is in touch with DOJ officials but that no decision has been made about sending the federal monitors.
The Secretary of State’s office considers the uproar a massive overreaction. “This idea that sending election inspectors is somehow going to interfere with the election process, it’s just a complete misunderstanding of what their role and their legal abilities are,” said Sam Taylor, the assistant secretary of state for communications. “We’ve sent election inspectors to Harris County for every single election in the past several years, and we have never had a request to call in the DOJ to observe our observers. It just seems like politics.” Taylor declined to answer any questions about Paxton’s legal task force, including whether Paxton was planning to challenge the election results. Instead, he referred me to the attorney general’s office, which did not respond to my interview request.
Taylor wasn’t alone in dismissing the concerns of Harris County leaders. On Twitter, Jessica Huseman, the editorial director of the nonprofit news site Votebeat (and an occasional Texas Monthly contributor) wrote that “the people freaking out [about] the observers the state is sending to Harris County are truly freaking out over nothing. . . . This is not new. This is not unexpected. They have no special powers to mess anything up or snatch ballots from the hands of voters.”
While it’s true that election observers aren’t new, Menefee told me that he had never heard of the attorney general’s office sending a task force to monitor an election in any Texas county. “To the extent that they’re providing legal advice to the election inspectors, they can do that from Austin,” he said. “I think the intent of announcing that they’re sending those folks to Harris County was for the purpose of intimidating folks.” On Thursday, ProPublica reported that Paxton’s office has launched at least 10 investigations into “alleged crimes by election workers” over the past two years. “These probes may be a harbinger of potential chaos in the midterms,” wrote co-authors Cassandra Jaramillo and Joshua Kaplan.
With 4.7 million residents spread across nearly 1,800 square miles, Harris County faces unique challenges in conducting elections. Because of its size, the county—under both Republican and Democratic election officials—is usually one of the last in Texas to report its results. Former Republican county clerk Stan Stanart, who ran elections from 2011 to 2018, was so dilatory in reporting results that the hashtag #firestanstanart trended every election night. Stanart lost his seat to a Democrat in 2018; two years later, the county created the independent office of elections administrator. The idea was to hand control of elections to an appointed expert rather than an elected politician. But the county’s first elections administrator, a Democratic activist named Isabel Longoria, was forced to resign in March after a botched primary election in which 10,000 votes were mistakenly left out of the preliminary tally. Clifford Tatum, an attorney who previously oversaw elections in Washington, D.C., took over from Longoria in August.
As justification for sending both the election inspectors and the legal task force, the Secretary of State’s office cited what it termed “serious breaches of proper elections records management” during the 2020 presidential election in Harris County. Those breaches came to light in the course of the “full forensic audit” of the presidential election that was demanded by former president Donald Trump. The Secretary of State’s office agreed to conduct such an audit for the two largest Democrat-led counties (Harris and Dallas) and the two largest Republican-led counties (Collin and Tarrant). The audit’s first phase, which examined voting-machine accuracy, cybersecurity, and potentially ineligible voters, found nothing unusual about the election. The findings of the final phase, a detailed review of all available records from the four counties, are scheduled to be released later this year.
So what were the “serious breaches of proper elections records management”? The letter reported that auditors identified missing or improper chain-of-custody records for the mobile ballot boxes—removable media storage devices akin to flash drives—at fourteen polling locations (out of more than eight hundred total locations). They also found technical issues with Harris County’s drive-through voting booths, a COVID-19 pandemic–era innovation that was later banned by the Legislature. In total, auditors could not find chain-of-custody records for 184,999 ballots (out of more than 1.6 million total ballots cast), said Chad Ennis, a former senior fellow at the right-wing Texas Public Policy Foundation who is directing the forensic audit. When I asked whether there was any evidence that ballots had been tampered with, Ennis said he had no way to know—the only devices that could read the ballots were destroyed at some point after Harris County adopted new voting machines in 2021. “The analogy we’ve been using is that we have the VCR tapes, which are the mobile ballot boxes, but we no longer have the VCR,” Ennis told me.
Harris County leaders have characterized the missing chain-of-custody records as, at worst, a harmless bookkeeping error. “We don’t even use the same machines anymore,” Menefee said. “We have new machines with a paper-ballot backup. So the vast majority of the issues they raised wouldn’t even be applicable to current elections.” Even the Secretary of State’s office seems reluctant to allege deliberate misconduct. In a recent interview with Texas Monthly, Secretary of State John Scott admitted there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Texas and defended local election officials. “I have yet to hear about or meet any elections administrator in the state who is not trying to do a perfect job,” he said.
Taylor, the assistant secretary of state for communications, told me that the Texas election code bars Paxton’s task-force members from entering polling places or the central count office. “Neither the attorney general’s office nor the Department of Justice are authorized to be present in a polling place,” he said. “Anyone telling you otherwise is not reading that section of the law correctly.”
Which prompts the question of what, exactly, Paxton’s attorneys will be doing. James Slattery, a senior staff attorney at the left-leaning Texas Civil Rights Project, pointed out Paxton’s apparent conflict of interest as both the state’s top attorney and a candidate in Tuesday’s election. “The letter says the task force will respond to reports from poll watchers, but some of the poll watchers are from his own political party,” Slattery said. “There’s nothing in the letter that identifies guardrails for how the task force will conduct itself.”
Like county leaders, Slattery worries that if there’s a close race in Harris County—say, the contest for county judge between Hidalgo and Republican challenger Alexandra del Moral Mealer, which polling suggests is a dead heat—Paxton will challenge the result in court, just as he did in the 2020 presidential election. “The claims of these election monitors could be used to give ammunition to people who want to say the election result should not be certified, or not certified until a partisan audit is conducted,” he warned. “You can weaponize the forensic audit, or what might come out of the monitors and the task force, to hammer away at the legitimacy of the results.”
Even as it races to complete its audit of the 2020 election, the Secretary of State’s office is already gearing up to audit the 2022 election. Under Senate Bill 1, the controversial election bill passed by the Legislature last year, the Secretary of State must audit four counties after every biennial general election—two counties with populations of less than 300,000 and two with populations of 300,000 or more. This year, the counties, which were selected in July through a random drawing, will be Eastland County, Guadalupe County, Cameron County, and—you guessed it—Harris County. | https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/paxton-task-force-to-monitor-harris-county-elections/ | 2022-11-04 23:59:31 | 1 | https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/paxton-task-force-to-monitor-harris-county-elections/ |

White House health officials to hold COVID-19 briefing as boosters roll out
(Gray News) - The White House COVID-19 Response Team and federal public health officials will hold a virtual briefing on Tuesday to provide updates on the COVID-19 response effort.
Participants will include Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky.
Federal health officials on Thursday approved a new booster designed to battle the dominant omicron variant. People can get booster shots this week at pharmacies or other designated locations.
The shots “can help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader protection,” Walensky said in a statement.
The Pfizer-BioNTech booster is available for people ages 12 years and older. The booster from Moderna is approved for people ages 18 years and older.
The CDC said it expects to recommend updated COVID-19 boosters for other pediatric groups in the coming weeks.
The booster shots are combination or “bivalent” shots — half the original vaccine and half protection against the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron versions now causing nearly all COVID-19 infections.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Dozens of soccer fans have been deported back to Italy following violent clashes in Tirana ahead of Wednesday’s Europa Conference League final, Albania’s deputy head of police said.
Italian club Roma will face Dutch team Feyenoord in the match at the 20,000-capacity National Arena.
Two separate groups of Dutch and Italian fans clashed with police on Tuesday in the city, injuring 19 officers and five Albanian civilians. One police officer was injured from a knife attack, authorities said.
Three Italian fans and two Dutch supporters were also injured.
On Wednesday, deputy head of police Albert Dervishi called on “Italian and Dutch fans to behave and act as European citizens, respect the country’s laws and not clash with police, or the laws will be strictly applied.”
Dervishi said 48 Italian fans and 12 Dutch supporters have been detained, adding anyone arrested could face up to seven years in prison. He said 80 fans were deported back to Italy.
The police official also called on businesses to avoid offering glass bottles to customers and warned Tirana residents to avoid “provocations from individuals or groups of fans who may be under the effect of alcohol.”
“We are determined to guarantee order and security, to prevent property destruction and the normal holding of the sporting activity,” Dervishi said.
Feyenoord and Roma are storied clubs with big fan bases. Up to 100,000 fans are expected in Tirana despite each club being allocated only 4,000 tickets for the inaugural final of the third-tier European tournament.
There are separate “fan zones” for each club, only one kilometer (0.6 miles) apart.

John Leguizamo has appeared in 100 films, produced more than 20 films and documentaries, and made dozens of TV appearances. After decades in the business, Leguizamo says Hollywood still underrepresents Latino artists and their contributions to American culture are often overlooked.
Leguizamo's talent for playing a range of characters has led to roles from Tybalt in the 1997 film "Romeo and Juliet" to Toulouse Lautrec in "Moulin Rouge!" in 2001 to a past-his-prime action hero in 2022's "The Menu." He's also the voice of Gor Koresh in the Disney+ series "The Mandalorian," Sid the sloth in the "Ice Age" movie franchise, and Bruno in Disney's "Encanto."
In a new MSNBC docuseries, the Emmy-winning actor and producer travels to cultural hotspots in New York, Miami, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico in search of what Leguizamo calls "exceptionalism" in the Latino community.
"There's so much wasted Latin talent in America right now. It breaks my heart to see all these beautiful dreams squandered," Leguizamo told NPR's A Martinez.
Breaking through inequalities
After pitching stories to production companies for 40 years without a "green light," Leguiazamo says he abandoned an idealistic belief that "talent will out." Instead, he tells Morning Edition that Latino artists must be more "aggressive" so their voices break through. And he points to how research for a one-man show on the Latino community's contributions to American history "made me want to make noise."
"Now I want more. Now I feel more entitled. Now I feel like we deserved. I'm not going to accept no for an answer," says Leguizamo.
The new series, "Leguizamo Does America," features his encounters with artists from dancers and directors to architects and activists.
"We sit down, we commune with a great Latin meal, and some of us do a little Latin dancing. And we share. We talk about what it's like to be Latinx in America at this time."
Leguizamo says inequalities persist and members of the Latino community must be "much more aggressive."
Leguizamo says that "things are not changing and they need to change now," but members of the Latin communities he visited maintain a "very positive hopeful attitude."
"It's happening. People are listening. They're paying attention. And they realize that there's a void and that it needs to be filled with Latinx."
This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
On working in an underrepresented community in Hollywood
I've been pitching for 40 years to Hollywood and nobody greenlights any script you write. I could write like Shakespeare, but if you had Latin characters and a Latin name, they weren't going to greenlight it no matter how amazingly brilliant it was. And I didn't know that because I was naive and ignorant and I thought America was a meritocracy. You know, I was idealistic back then, thinking that talent would out, but it doesn't.
On discovering Latino exceptionalism in America
That gives you confidence. That gave me confidence. It gave me power. It may be much more political and maybe much more outspoken. It made me want to get loud. It made me want to make noise. And that's what we got to do.
On fighting for more Latino representation in Hollywood
I feel like there's a lot of Latinx out there who are organizing, who are doing grassroots. And you see all these other Latinx people who are creatives who are coming up with Latin stories and want to see more plays. I was just in New York at the Public Theater and I was doing a workshop, but there were like four other Latinx workshops. I had never seen so many Latin creatives in one room, and we all hugged each other and talked and celebrated and high-fived. It's happening. People are listening. They're paying attention. And they realize that there's a void and that it needs to be filled with Latinx.

The 2022-2023 Toyota Tundra pickup truck is being recalled for a tonneau cover that can detach from the bed while the truck’s in motion, Automotive News reported Friday.
The recall affects about 130,000 Tundras. If the bed cover were to detach while the truck was moving, the flying tonneau cover could pose a risk to other vehicles, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Toyota didn’t say if it knew of any crashes or injuries related to the defect, and the NHTSA hadn’t yet updated its site to reflect the recall. Toyota advised owners of Tundra pickups with the optional Toyota-genuine tonneau cover to remove the cover until a fix is made.
Owners will be notified by mail by late March of the remedy. It will be covered under warranty.
In a separate recall from last week, Toyota recalled nearly 9,000 Tundras for a software error that causes the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster to go blank. It can be remedied with a software update done at a Toyota dealership by April 17.
Redesigned for the 2022 model year with new tech upgrades and available hybrid powertrains, the Toyota Tundra has been recalled six times for mostly minor issues; one of the more serious issues has been a shaft that can detach from the rear axle.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish police say two people have been wounded in a shooting at a shopping center in the southern city of Malmo.
A suspected was arrested after the shooting Friday afternoon at the Emporia shopping center, which police said appeared to be gang-related.
“Police are on site with big resources to map the incident by interviewing witnesses and going through material from surveillance cameras. The immediate danger to the public appears to be over,” Malmo police said.
Shootings by criminal gangs have become a growing problem in Sweden in recent decades, including in Malmo, the country’s third-biggest city. Gang violence is among the main campaign issues ahead of Sweden’s national election on Sept. 11.
Last month a gunman opened fire inside a shopping mall across the Oresund Strait in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Three people were killed and four wounded. Police said the suspect in that shooting, a 22-year-old Dane, apparently selected his victims at random. | https://www.cenlanow.com/international/ap-international/sweden-2-wounded-in-shopping-center-shooting/ | 2022-08-19 18:14:12 | 1 | https://www.cenlanow.com/international/ap-international/sweden-2-wounded-in-shopping-center-shooting/ |
There are many hair loss solutions, but you are tired of looking for a product that works for you. This is the right place if you're looking for a Profollica review.
Profollica is for those who are concerned about their self-image when they lose their hair or become bald. To them, it was extremely critical that their hair grow back, as it also helped them regain self-confidence. You can view Profollica official website here!
Therefore, with two-step hair loss treatment solutions, it is one of the best hair growth systems available for purchase, having been medically proven safe and effective.
In addition, I have tried to gather all the events that occurred during the period I was using Profollica. In the latter part of this Profollica review, I will discuss the results I gained using Profollica.
Due to this, it would be wise for you to read this to the very end.
Why Do People Lose Their Hair?
Hair loss is usually determined by genetic predisposition rather than poor diet, anxiety, disease, prescription medications, or infection. A strongly active form of testosterone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), leads to male pattern baldness in men. A man's free testosterone is transformed to DHT by an enzyme called 5-Alpha-reductase.
The mechanism of follicle miniaturization occurs in men genetically predisposed to baldness. As a result of exposure to DHT, their hair follicles diminish until they turn into thin fuzz. As the time shortens, the follicles are destroyed, and the hair ceases to grow. Hair loss disorders can sometimes be alleviated by addressing the body's DHT levels.

What Is Profollica?
As a natural product, Profollica is marketed as a product that can be beneficial for people suffering from hair loss and baldness. According to the brand, this product prevents the production of DHT, which can be one of the factors behind hair loss.
This product consists of two components: a supplement and a gel designed to help prevent hair loss. Profollica is a natural oral supplement containing a wide range of ingredients. Additionally, research has shown that it effectively reduces hair loss and may even result in increased hair growth.
It is believed that a consistent dosage may help combat the causes of hair loss. However, if you wish, you can use this product individually. In the case of excessive hair loss, you may need to follow the entire treatment protocol.
Furthermore, Profollica can be very helpful to those suffering from alopecia as an immediate solution. According to the manufacturer, the recovery could last for a long time. A remarkable feature of this product is that it aims to treat hair loss inside and outside the body.
This addition, this product is used to treat in two phases. During the first phase, nutritional supplements will be used as part of the treatment. The next phase is to put the hair growth gel on your scalp. The combination of these two products may lead to healthy, dark, and thick hair if both are used together.
A look At The Science Behind Profollica
A hormone called DHT is responsible for causing the follicles to shrink and eventually die. Consequently, this results in the loss of hair. Most men who lose their hair are affected by a genetic condition called Male Pattern Baldness (MPB), a degenerative hair loss disorder.
This problem can, however, be overcome.
MPB is also one of the most important concerns many people face today. Fortunately, there are some solutions that can help prevent such a problem from arising in the first place.
By using Profollica, it is possible to reverse hair loss early on before things get bad.
Over the past few years, males have seen an increase in harmful hormones like DHT and estrogen levels in their bodies. We need to eliminate these trend pleasantries, which exist in men and women alike. The main issues are female hirsutism (having a lot of hair on the face and body) and male pattern baldness.
The reason for this is that their testosterone system produces a large number of hormones. The alpha 5 reductase enzymes in the body are responsible for transforming this substance into a compound known as dihydrotestosterone (DHP).
Thankfully, professional solutions are now available to assist users in restoring their natural levels to their normal condition. A topical gel with an active ingredient known as Testogen is called. Besides the active ingredients, this product has no unnecessary additives or fillers. For example, such an additive would be another prescription drug, potentially damaging other organs due to absorption.

Which Company Created Profollica?
Leading Edge Health provides this system, a company renowned for effective treatments. The market share of Profollica is significant in the USA and has a large fan base. There has been evidence that substantial effects can be seen within one to two months by those who believe the effect is real.
The company claims that Profollica's system for hair recovery and all products are made with safe ingredients that do not cause side effects. More than 90% of the test subjects reported less hair loss due to the treatment when the tests were conducted. Thus, they now have a much higher quality of life than they used to have and are very happy about that.
In addition to natural products for women and men, the company offers other products suitable for everyday use. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can return it within 67 days. Please visit the product's Official WebSite if you would like to place an order.
Profollica: how does it work?
Women and men are susceptible to hair loss caused by DHT (dihydrotestosterone). As androgen interacts with testosterone and 5 alpha-reductase in the body, DHT is formed.
As a result, your hair follicles and the strength of your hair might also be affected. There is also a possibility that DHT may lead to follicle miniaturization, a process that can cause shrinkage of the hair follicles. It severely damages the growth of your hair.
Therefore, Profollica comes to the rescue in this situation. Profollica works by gradually decreasing the amount of hair loss and eventually halting it entirely. It reduces the production of DHT in your body to protect your hair.
Moreover, it prevents follicle miniaturization and prevents DHT from damaging hair follicles. Thus, healthy hair growth and hair renewal are promoted by it.
The manufacturer also claims that this product's two-step hair loss treatment will provide various vitamins and minerals to the affected areas of the body to treat hair loss. Healthy hair and good health go hand-in-hand.
Upon gradual application of this product, a protective coating will form on the hair, protecting it from further damage. By massaging your scalp, you increase the flow of blood to your scalp, as it can carry the essential nutrients to your skin.
The overall result will be long-lasting and extremely beneficial, and you may notice that the texture of your hair is smoother and your hair follicles become healthier.
What's In Profollica?
In order to treat hair loss, the Profollica brand has introduced not just supplements but also a gel. Millet extract is included in Profollica ingredients, so you can be sure that your hair is consuming a wide range of vitamins.
Restricting DHT production might be able to reduce thinning hair and may be able to encourage hair growth as well. Biotin, l cysteine, maidenhair fern, and others could also be considered DHT-preventative ingredients. Combining these natural ingredients may promote new hair growth and help reduce hair loss.
Profollica gel is also a part of this effective hair loss treatment. It may improve your hair quality by harnessing the power of numerous active ingredients. So, there can be an increase in thickness, smoothness, and shine to the hair by using this treatment.
Profollica Ingredients In Supplement:
Millet Extract
Traditional medicine has used millet extracts to treat various health problems. The minerals and trace elements in it can protect against hair loss. Due to its high iron content, millet extract may assist you in improving the flow of oxygen throughout your body. In addition, this ingredient contributes to blood formulation for the purpose of improving blood circulation in the scalp.
The zinc in millet extract plays a key role in cell renewal, ensuring that you have healthy skin, hair, and nails. It contains various elements known to stimulate hair growth, which helps lower cortisol levels and possibly prevent hair loss.
L-Cysteine
This is yet another ingredient that is helpful when it comes to maintaining the health of your hair. L cysteine may aid the formation of the body's disulfide bonds. A disulfide bond is a chemical compound that plays a vital role in keeping the hair's keratin strands safe from damage. This can provide various properties to your hair, keeping it moist and preventing it from becoming dry.
Furthermore, L cysteine has properties that may contribute to the thickening of your hair and make it feel softer and easier to manage. It shows optimum results in reducing dandruff and hair loss when used in conjunction with millet.
Biotin
Many hair care products contain biotin as one of the main ingredients. This component is also referred to as vitamin B7 because it stimulates the growth of follicles within your hair by stimulating the secretion of keratin.
A number of studies have shown that regular consumption of biotin may have the ability to slow down hair loss. In addition, it is also an effective supplement for promoting the growth of your nails, hair, and skin.
Furthermore, it is a water-soluble vitamin that improves the keratin infrastructure of your hair, which may result in hair growth in a new way. Besides strengthening your hair, it may be able to protect it from breaking and reduce dryness by increasing its elasticity.
Maidenhair Fern
This beneficial ingredient is used for the treatment of whooping cough, bronchitis, cough, cramps, and heavy menstruation. Numerous health benefits can be obtained from this plant. Congestion in the chest may also be relieved by it.
Your hair could become thicker and fuller if it has a higher follicular density. Various individuals used it directly on the scalp to make their hair darker and reduce the amount of hair loss they experienced.
Profollica Ingredients In the Activator Gel:
Arginine and Acetyl Tyrosine
In terms of hair follicle health, these amino acids are extremely helpful and considered essential in terms of hair follicle health. In Profollica, you'll find these essential ingredients that may prevent weakening the hair shaft.
Arctium Majus Root Extract
This amazing herb has been shown to improve blood flow through the body and may also encourage healthy hair growth.
Calcium Pantothenate
As it is regarded as a salt of vitamin B5, it penetrates the scalp and can potentially help promote hair growth. In addition to providing essential nutrients, it may prevent hair loss.
Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract
Although more research is needed to prove cinnamon's effectiveness. The consumption of cinnamon may improve hair length and support healthy hair growth.
Citrulline
It is believed that this nutritional ingredient can produce nitric acid, a substance that may assist in hair growth.
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
The Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract may stimulate hair growth by increasing the flow of nutrients on the scalp.
Glucosamine HCL
In addition to strengthening hair, this ingredient may prevent it from becoming brittle and easily broken.
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is considered one of the best conditioners since it strengthens and repairs hair fibers. Moreover, it promotes the retention of moisture and shines in the hair.
Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract
It is present in the activator gel and could prevent DHT from being synthesized by inhibiting the enzyme 5-Alpha reductase.
Niacinamide
As niacinamide has circulation-boosting properties, it may play a significant role in growing strong hair. Besides improving the texture of hair, it can also enhance its sheen and suppleness.
Ornithine HCI
Proteins found in this plant are said to be helpful for the flexibility and suppleness of scalp tissue, which can be beneficial in the maintenance of the scalp.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract
This Profolica ingredient strengthens the hair roots and follicles by boosting derma cells on the scalp.
PEG-12 Dimethicone
The ability of this ingredient to condition hair is undeniable. The silicone dimethicone is said to be highly efficient at detangling and conditioning.
Polyquaternium-11
It may reduce static and fuzziness in hair as well as provide certain conditioning benefits.
Propylene Glycol
In Profollica, this ingredient is responsible for helping the product retain moisture and also making the hair easier to comb through.
Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Extract
This ingredient may protect newly formed hair follicles from DHT destruction.
Zinc Gluconate
In the manufacturing of this product, it is used to reduce the overproduction of sebum oil that clogs follicles to develop.
Profollica Before and After: Customer Reviews in 1 to 2 months
Comparing the pictures of a customer before and after using Profollica for a few months shows how it works. There is no doubt that those users who use this product consistently will see very positive results within a short period of time. Profollica's results represent the satisfaction level of consumers.
Based on scientific studies on DHT and hair loss, the beginning point here is correct. Clearly, a significant percentage of participants were able to confirm a clear effect as a result of the study. Aside from that, side effects are almost nonexistent.
Profollica also has a lot of enthusiasm on the internet, as many people write very positive reviews of it. People often report a reduction in itching and a better sensation on the scalp after four weeks of its use.
Furthermore, the formation of dandruff is also significantly reduced as a result of the treatment. In this way, the hair root regulates itself by preventing the production of DHT. In this way, the loss of hair decreases as a result. It also observed that newly grown hair gradually fills in the gaps that previously existed in the hair.
Profollica: My Personal Experience
My age is 48, but I have been experiencing severe hair loss for the past few months, which has gradually led to total baldness. I thought it might be caused by anxiety and poor eating habits. Consequently, I took the call and made some changes to my daily routine in order to see if that would be helpful.
The situation did not change, unfortunately. My best efforts failed to overcome my hair fall problems. Some of my colleagues and friends have recommended various hair care remedies. However, I didn't find anything that really worked for me.
I experienced irritation after using one of the shampoos. In fact, it made things more complicated for me. During this time, I began to be conscious of how I appeared. Because of the shape of my forehead, I can't stand to look at myself in a mirror since I feel weird without enough hair on my head.
My partner teased me about my hair loss in the following days and asked me to see a hair regrowth specialist. The doctor recommended Profollica to me after observing my hair loss situation. Honestly, I have to say that this product works like magic.
The doctor describes it as an all-in-one solution. There is a combination of oral supplements and gel used in the treatment. He mentioned that the product contains natural ingredients as one of its most appealing features. Accordingly, it is expected that no allergies will develop as a result.
Upon receiving Profollica, I immediately began using it as soon as it arrived in my hands. For my bald areas, I applied gel daily and took one capsule a day.
I noticed a few positive changes in just a few weeks of using the product. I was surprised to find that I was able to see baby hairs growing in my bald spots, as well as reduced hair fall on my scalp. Since I am seeing improved outcomes, I have decided to use it for as long as possible.
Honestly, we were both astonished by the results. My looks have changed significantly now, and I have greater self-confidence. I am quite happy with how I look.
I have been using Profollica and have been very satisfied with the results. My hair loss issue is reduced, and new hair is starting to grow more quickly as a result of it.
As a result, I have also regained my self-confidence, which I had started to lose recently due to hair loss.
My Profollica Result:
Profollica is considered a two-step natural remedy for hair loss. This formula contains natural and organic herbs that may prevent testosterone and 5 alpha-reductase from being converted into DHT.
Therefore, I found that it boosted the circulation of my blood and allowed nutrients to reach the affected body parts as well as the follicles.
After regularly using this product, I noticed that my hair growth was also boosted since it controls sebum production on my scalp. There was a possibility that my hair growth may have been hindered by the presence of sebum, which was one of the major reasons for the hair damage.
Furthermore, Profollica also helped my body with minerals and vitamins that contribute to healthy hair. I observed that this resulted in an improvement in my hair loss as well.
Aside from that, I was also able to keep my scalp hydrated. My scalp was also free of the itchy and dry condition I have been experiencing every day for the last few months.
Consequently, through the slow growth of my hair, I noticed that my hair was becoming shiny and soft.
As of six months ago, I was using Profollica on a regular basis. There is a noticeable difference in the appearance of my hair and a reduction in hair loss. Initially, you may not notice an improvement in the elasticity of your hair as it works with the texture and quality of your hair.
In just a few months of using Profollica, my hair returned to its natural color. You won't believe it, but my hair began to look healthy and vibrant again. Because it contains ingredients that may help prevent premature greying of the hair.
I can't miss out on the fact that Profollica helped me overcome my body's nutritional deficiencies. A more youthful appearance is also due to good hair and nail growth.
Profollica Benefits
It has been reported that Profollica users may acquire the following benefits when using it daily for at least six months:
Assists in suppressing the production of DHT and contributes to the healthy growth of follicles and hair.
Enhances blood circulation and increases the availability of nutrients to hair follicles.
Provides relief from dry, itchy scalp conditions while maintaining the healthy production of sebum and regulating the production of oil on the scalp.
Providing the body with a wide range of vitamins and minerals can help minimize hair loss.
Anagen, which is the phase of growth, is what brings dormant follicles back to life.
Enhances the elasticity of the hair and helps to prevent premature greying of the hair as well as improving its overall quality
It prevents sun damage to the scalp by protecting it from the sun's harmful rays.
What Are The Profollica Side Effects?
Both the ingredients and the active formula in Activator Gel are herbal substances. Therefore, there is no need to be concerned about any side effects.
As a result of the studies and tests conducted on the products, no adverse reactions or incompatibilities were detected. In order to use this formula safely, you should read the list of ingredients carefully before using them.
Profollica Dosage And How To Use It?
Profollica is easy to use, and there is no risk of making a mistake. For the product to work optimally, you should only be aware of the importance of following the dosage of each ingredient.
One capsule should be taken with some water with the dietary supplement two times a day. Consumption should preferably be accompanied by meals.
After regular hair washing, massage the activator gel into freshly washed hair. You must not rinse it out, but let it dry for a moment before towel drying the hair normally. A maximum Profollica effect can be obtained by following these simple tricks.
What Is The Profollica Price?

MACCLESFIELD, United Kingdom, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Econic Technologies, a leading innovator in carbon to value technologies, and Monument Chemical, a leading specialty chemical manufacturer, are pleased to announce their agreement to collaborate on the growth of CO2 containing polyols in North America.
Monument Chemical is the first US company to license Econic's process for manufacturing polycarbonate ether (PCE) polyols made from CO2 as a sustainable source of renewable carbon. With Econic's technology, Monument will upcycle waste carbon dioxide into polyols for high-performance foams, laminates, coatings, and elastomers for use in automotive, furniture, mattress, construction, and industrial applications. Monument will begin production based on the Econic process in late 2023.
Econic's pioneering technology is based on its proprietary catalyst and process that enables manufacturers to replace up to 30 percent of the fossil-based component in their polyols with readily available captured CO2, in their existing production plants. The technology allows the level of CO2 to be controlled at a molecular level, enabling customers to produce cost-competitive polyurethane products with equal or higher performance and a lower carbon footprint.
Don Phillips, Vice President and General Manager, Oxides, of Monument Chemical, said, "Licensing the Econic process marks a key milestone in Monument's commitment to providing specialty solutions to our customers in the US. By embracing this groundbreaking technology, we can help our customers deliver higher-performance products with enhanced sustainability that will stand out in the marketplace."
"The world's drive to net-zero is forcing manufacturers to move to sustainable carbon sources, without compromising performance and cost. Monument recognizes that, and we are delighted to be working with them to make this a reality in the US polyurethane market. Our aim is to work with Monument to help sustainably grow their business with Econic's groundbreaking technology," said Econic CEO Keith Wiggins.
The ability of Econic's technology to make polyurethane products better and more sustainable by using CO2 as a renewable carbon source is being recognized by major consumer brands and their supply chains. The company recently announced that it has issued licenses to polyol manufacturers in India and China.
About Econic Technologies:
Econic Technologies is a UK-based, deep-tech company and pioneer in the utilisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a valuable raw material. It licenses and sells innovative catalyst and processes technology for the manufacture of CO2 containing polymers used in essential everyday products. The use of CO2 sustainably displaces conventional oil-based feedstocks and complements bio-based raw materials, to create more cost effective, higher performing, end products. Econic was founded in 2011 by Prof. Charlotte Williams, at Imperial College London. Building on her vision of technology that uses CO2 as a raw material in the manufacture of enhanced polymers systems, the company is ready to meet consumer and societal drive to net zero and fit with the existing supply chain. The recipient of many nominations and awards, the company was most recently named as winner in the Sustainability sector of 'Future22' by Tech Tour, Europe's largest investor-oriented community.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s federal prosecutor’s office said Tuesday that criminal police have detained three more suspected far-right extremists who are linked to an alleged plot by the Reichsbuerger, or Reich Citizens, movement to topple the country’s government.
The three suspects, who were only identified as Johanna F.-J., Hans-Joachim H. and Steffen W. in line with German privacy rules, were detained Monday evening in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The defendants are suspected of membership in a terrorist organization, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
In December, German police detained 25 people including a self-styled prince, a retired paratrooper and a former judge who are accused of plotting the violent overthrow of the government.
Adherents of the Reich Citizens movement reject Germany’s postwar constitution and have called for bringing down the government.
Authorities say the three people who were arrested Monday evening were linked in different ways to the suspects of the alleged coup attempt.
Johanna F.J. is suspected of having been active in the association since May 2022, participating in several meetings with members of the leadership, during which the goals and organization of the group were discussed. In addition, she allegedly sought contact with a Russian consul general and subsequently met with him twice. The talks were intended to obtain support for the association’s actions, prosecutors say.
Hans-Joachim H. is suspected of having been active for the group from the very beginning, providing it with financial contributions totaling more than 140,000 euros ($151,000). In addition, he allegedly actively participated in conspiratorial meetings, in events to recruit new members and in so-called sponsor meetings.
Steffen W. is suspected of having joined the association no later than July 2022, and to have assumed a leading role in a so-called homeland security company, in which he assumed the function of a military officer. The defendant allegedly participated in several coordination meetings. His task was to recruit personnel for his area of responsibility and to train them militarily, prosecutors said.
German security agencies have disrupted several plots in recent years by small groups linked to the Reich Citizens movement accused of planning attacks on critical infrastructure, government officials and even the national parliament. While it is unclear how far advanced such plans were, authorities have expressed alarm that the alleged plotters had acquired weapons and included people who aren’t usually on the radar of security agencies, such as judges and police officers.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, the head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency warned of a rise in anti-government extremism.
Thomas Haldenwang told the AP that coup plots such as those disrupted last year likely won’t be the last as some “are again talking about a ‘Day X’ when certain things are meant to happen.”
“We are monitoring such efforts very intensively, very carefully, and I’m certain that we will be able to intervene in time together with other security agencies,” he said. “But I can’t completely rule out that groups will forms under the radar of the security agencies.” | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-germany-detains-3-more-suspects-linked-to-far-right-coup-plot/ | 2023-05-23 20:29:51 | 0 | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/international/ap-germany-detains-3-more-suspects-linked-to-far-right-coup-plot/ |
NEW YORK (AP) — Three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday because she is pregnant, announcing the news via social media by joking that "two against one just isn't a fair competition" and posting a string of emojis that included a baby bottle.
The 34-year-old German won the title at Flushing Meadows in 2016 to rise to No. 1 in the WTA rankings. She also won the Australian Open that year and added a Wimbledon championship in 2018.
She hasn’t competed on tour since a third-round loss at Wimbledon on July 1. She is currently ranked 52nd.
“For the next months, I will take a break from traveling the globe as a tennis player but then again, I believe it’s for the best possible reason,” Kerber wrote Wednesday. “I will miss all of you.”
She also said: “Being a professional athlete means everything to me but I’m grateful for the new path I’m heading to. To be honest, I’m nervous and excited at the same time.”
Play in the main draw of the U.S. Open begins Monday.

CROWN POINT — Gentlemen, and ladies, start your engines.
No, it was not the start of the Indianapolis 500. It was its precursor.
Drivers lined up Saturday at the Lake County Fairgrounds for the annual Cobe Cup Cruise. Sponsored by The Regional Streeters Car Club, it went from Crown Point to Cedar Lake to Lowell, then back to the fairgrounds.
Pat Maggi, president of the Regional Streeters, estimated his group has been sponsoring the cruise for 25 years.
‘This event has averaged 80 to 90 cars, but with the weather we’re expecting, we’re hoping for 100,” Maggi said.
The 2023 edition topped that number: 102 entries.
Maggi said the cruise is popular because “it’s a get-together, a chance to take your car out on a leisurely cruise.”
People are also reading…
The club president added the historical aspect: “We’re reenacting the original race, using the original course.”
With some variations because of road construction, the cruise will cover 23.7 miles.
Candyce Jones of Highland was in her first Cobe Cup, driving a 1973 Porsche her late husband purchased new 50 years ago.
“I wanted to see how many Porsches would be entered,” Jones said. “I love cars. I love the people. It’s fun to take the car out on a beautiful day.”
Entrant Debra Riecken of Crown Point wore military fatigues bearing the name of her uncle, Teddy Peterson, a Vietnam veteran. Peterson served in Southeast Asia during 1956-60. He died in 1967 from exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange.
“This is what this Memorial Day weekend is all about, remembering him and the many people who lost their lives,” she said.
Although she hardly knew her uncle, Riecken noted that riding in her husband’s 1967 Mercury Cougar honored Peterson, who died at home and did not qualify for the Vietnam Memorial Monument Wall.
The original Cobe Race was held in Northwest Indiana in 1909 and 1910. On June 19, 1909, the first major automobile race in the U.S. was held south of the old Lake County Courthouse. Named for Ira M. Cobe, president of the Chicago Automobile Club, the 25-mile contest was the forerunner to the Indy 500.
The 1910 race became a speedway event, rather than a road-course contest, with the second one held in Indianapolis. The Chicago Automobile Club also decided to move the Cobe Cup Race to Chicago for 1911, but, as it turned out, no such race took place in 1911 or thereafter until its revival.
Paul Myers of the Marktown section of East Chicago drove his 1929 Ford Model A town sedan. He said the stock car draws attention wherever it goes, from him doing bank business to passersby along U.S. 30 photographing it.
Also, Myer said, “we’re following the same route as the original race.”
Myers pointed out there were two races in 1909: June 18 in Indianapolis and the Cobe Cup the next day.
Ken Becker of Tinley Park, Illinois, entered his shiny 1956 Buick Special in his first Cobe Cup. Back in the 1950s, he said, Buicks were a status symbol topped only by Cadillacs.
As with so many other drivers, Becker had his Buick in top-clean condition, above and under the hood.
“It takes a lot of work,” he said.
There were plenty of car admirers, including Deb Armstrong of Valparaiso. The member of the Lake County Photography Club was snapping away at the classics.
“For me, it’s about the details and the work they put into these cars," she said. "To keep these cars running for 25 years, it’s daunting. I admire their willingness to do this.”
Bob Lowry of Crown Point has had his 1934 Plymouth Model PL Series X since 1989. “I like that this is an actual cruise. They get the cars out rolling,” he said.
Dave Jendras of Dyer was showing off his 2002 Limited Edition Camara, the 791st of 3,369 made, and he has the paperwork to prove it.
“I’ve had this car 11 years,” he said. “It looks great, runs great, and it’s a great show car. It’s not a daily drive. It goes out when the weather is nice.”
It's his first Cobe Cup. “I just want to see all the cars, especially the older vehicles."
As part of a family affair, Kathy Conley of Crown Point came with son Billy in their 1957 Chevy 210 hardtop. His late father had driven it 20 years in the Cobe Cup, and she’s had the car for 10 years.
“I like that my dad drove this, and we want to keep it in the family,” Kathy said. “We want to keep his memory alive and keep the car as original as possible.”
Billy added: “My grandpas drove this, and I like the way it looks. With the cruise, we go to different places and see everything.” | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/crown-point/cruisers-reenact-famed-race-through-3-communities/article_0a311300-fce8-11ed-af58-4392d93f5405.html | 2023-05-28 02:34:32 | 1 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/crown-point/cruisers-reenact-famed-race-through-3-communities/article_0a311300-fce8-11ed-af58-4392d93f5405.html |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Gold Line streetcar reportedly collided with a vehicle Wednesday that had stopped suddenly in front of it on its route, according to the Charlotte Area Transit System.
The incident occluded west of uptown near Trade Street and Bruns Avenue at 3:23 p.m., forcing the line to operate on a restricted route with the Transportation Center as the westernmost stop. CATS said this was a minor incident that resulted in no injuries to streetcar passengers or the rail operator.
The streetcar sustained minor damage and was able to return to normal operation around 4 p.m. There were no reported injuries or need for medical assistance.
The incident occurred just a week after a tree fell onto power lines just a quarter-mile north, also forcing Gold Line service to alter its route. | https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/gold-line-streetcar-collides-with-vehicle-that-stopped-suddenly-along-route-cats/ | 2023-04-13 20:59:07 | 0 | https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/gold-line-streetcar-collides-with-vehicle-that-stopped-suddenly-along-route-cats/ |

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish opposition parties on Monday filed legal complaints to press Turkish prosecutors into investigating corruption allegations made by a fugitive mafia boss against people close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling party.
In a series of tweets over the weekend, Sedat Peker — a crime boss-turned-whistleblower — accused the former head of the Turkish Capital Markets Board, a ruling party legislator, a presidential adviser and others of being part of a network allegedly seeking bribes from companies trading on the stock market.
Peker alleged that members of the group sought bribes from a businesswoman in the guise of “consultancy fees,” to resolve a problem faced by her company. The businesswoman confirmed the allegations to the Halk TV news channel on Saturday.
The mafia boss further claimed that Serhat Albayrak — the head of the pro-government Turkuvaz Media group and the brother of Erdogan’s son-in-law, Berat Albayarak — coordinated the alleged bribery scheme. Albayrak's lawyer denied the allegation and said he would take legal action against the “completely untrue” accusations.
Other officials have also denied the claims.
On Monday, at least five opposition parties, including the main opposition Republican Peoples Party, or CHP, filed criminal complaints demanding that the judiciary — which they accuse of being subservient to Erdogan’s nationalist government — take action over the allegations.
“We know that the judiciary is currently in the service of the government,” said Mustafa Yeneroglu of the opposition Democracy and Progress Party, or DEVA. “However, we will file a criminal complaint ... in order for it to go down in history. One day, there will be responsible prosecutors who will go after these disgraces.”
Peker, a 51-year-old fugitive crime boss, once openly supported Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party. He became a social media phenomenon last year after he posted a series of videos from his stated base in the United Arab Emirates making scandalous accusations against Turkish political figures.
More recently, he has been making corruption allegations through his Twitter account, after he was reportedly advised to stop recording videos for security reasons. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Turkish-opposition-seeks-probe-into-bribery-17404772.php | 2022-08-29 16:15:27 | 0 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Turkish-opposition-seeks-probe-into-bribery-17404772.php |
DALLAS — After a handful of upset wins, ugly losses and ugly wins in Week 5, we have more shakeup in the Locked On NFL Power Rankings for Week 6.
The Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the NFL, yet they actually moved down in this week's rankings. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans got their first win of the year in Week 5 over the Jaguars, and now there are no winless teams left. They finally move out of the 32nd slot for their efforts.
This year, the NFL hosts across the Locked On Podcast Network will vote weekly to rank all 32 NFL teams in our Locked On NFL Power Rankings.
Our local Locked On NFL hosts ranked their 1-32 power rankings and the averages created the official power rankings. Check back each Tuesday for the rankings.

Week 6 NFL Power Rankings
1. Buffalo Bills
Last week result: 38-3 win over PIT
Ranking last week: 2
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 1/2
Buffalo is back on top of our power rankings after two weeks with the Eagles on top. While the Eagles didn’t lose, this mainly comes down to strength of schedule thus far and Buffalo’s dominant 38-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday. Voters placed first place votes for both the Bills and Eagles. Either way, there are clearly three teams on top above the rest and that’s the Bills, Eagles and Chiefs. On Sunday, we get another Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes matchup, which should be quite the ride.

2. Philadelphia Eagles
Last week result: 20-17 win over ARZ
Ranking last week: 1
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 1/3
The Eagles didn’t lose a game but they did drop one spot in our power rankings after two weeks on top. Voters believe Buffalo is the more impressive team, even at 4-1 compared to Philly’s 5-0. But, it’s hard to win in the NFL. It’s hard to win on the road in the NFL. And it’s even harder to win on an opposite coast. The Eagles got the job done in Arizona even if it wasn’t that pretty. They’re 5-0 and have a big matchup against the 4-1 Dallas Cowboys led by Cooper Rush.

3. Kansas City Chiefs
Last week result: 30-29 win over LV
Ranking last week: 3
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 2/3
The Kansas City Chiefs find a way to make it happen in the clutch like no other team. They trailed the Raiders 17-0 on Monday night just to come all the way back and get the 30-29 win in thrilling fashion. They remain at No. 3 in our power rankings with a chance to move up to No. 1 next week potentially, if they can defeat the Bills at home.

4. Baltimore Ravens
Last week result: 19-17 win over CIN
Ranking last week: 5
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 4/7
The Ravens move up to No. 4 after a nail-biting win over the Bengals. While the Ravens have lost two games this year, Lamar Jackson is looking like an MVP contender along with the quarterbacks of the teams listed above. Baltimore gave it away against Buffalo and Miami this year. They’re not far from being 5-0. This is a team looking like a contender and the voters feel is worthy of this spot.

5. San Francisco 49ers
Last week result: 37-15 win over CAR
Ranking last week: 9
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 4/11
The 49ers are coming off two-straight easy wins over the Rams and Panthers and with the losses of those around them, they have surged from 13th in the power rankings to 5th in a mere two weeks after Trey Lance went down for the year in Week 2. The 49ers have one of the most talented defenses and they have the offensive playmakers to contend for a title. Jimmy G has taken them to two NFC Championship games in three years and with him at the helm, the 49ers seem more confident.

6. Los Angeles Chargers
Last week result: 30-28 win over CLE
Ranking last week: 7
Highest/lowest vote in power rankings poll: 4/10
While a critical go-for-it decision almost cost the Chargers the game against the Browns, they came out victorious. The Bolts seem stabilized now after their embarrassing 38-10 loss to the Jaguars two weeks ago. They’re dealing with major injuries but are powering through, for now. They move up one spot from 7 to 6, jumping the Packers.

The Bucs are up one spot after a win over the Falcons that definitely wasn’t pretty. The Bucs got up 21-0 and it looked like they were going to run away with it, looking like their old selves. But, some of the problems they’ve faced this year crept back in. Nonetheless, they moved to 3-2 on the year and got a win over a division rival. They’ll have a chance at 4-2 next week, taking on the struggling Steelers in Pittsburgh.

The Vikings were humming on Sunday until they allowed the Bears to creep back into the game. Justin Fields had his best game of the year, which isn’t saying much, going 15-for-21 with over 200 yards and a TD. But Kirk Cousins and the Vikings led the game winning 7-minute drive to get up 7 that they needed, before their defense closed it out. The Vikings are 4-1, atop the NFC North and certainly are looking like they are a playoff team.

The Packers were caught sleepwalking after they got up a two-touchdown lead on the Giants in London. Daniel Jones and the Giants came back to defeat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers 27-22. It wasn’t pretty. And they drop five spots in the rankings after getting up to No. 4 last week because of it.

Cowboys for Trump cofounder found not guilty of campaign finance charge
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Cowboys for Trump cofounder Couy Griffin was found not guilty Wednesday of a misdemeanor charge of failing to register a political committee at a trial in southern New Mexico.
The verdict from a 12-member jury capped a two-day trial in Alamogordo, the community where Griffin served as an Otero County commissioner until he was banished from office last year for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The dismissed charge against Griffin carried a potential punishment of up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Jurors deliberated for more than nine hours before delivering the verdict. The decision interrupts a string of adverse legal decisions for Griffin, who remains barred from elected office under a judge’s decision upheld by the New Mexico Supreme Court in February.
Griffin said in a text message that he felt “blessed to be judged by a jury of peers” in his home community and has “never felt as vindicated.”
In 2019, Griffin forged a group of rodeo acquaintances into the promotional group called Cowboys for Trump, which staged horseback parades to spread President Donald Trump’s conservative message about gun rights, immigration controls and abortion restrictions.
Griffin invoked free speech protections in declining to register and disclose donors to Cowboys for Trump, while expressing concern that financial contributors might be harassed.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors argued that Griffin used Cowboys for Trump to explicitly link political advocacy to appeals for online donations, while flouting registration and financial disclosure requirements for political committees that are designed to ensure transparency and fairness in elections.
They said Griffin was a politician in his own right who clearly advocated for Trump while the president was a candidate for reelection, and that Griffin also promoted political positions on border enforcement, gun rights, abortion and more.
But the jury wasn’t persuaded. Defense attorney Jonathan Miller portrayed Griffin as “just a guy who rides a horse” and tried to do the right thing by registering Cowboys for Trump as a for-profit corporation and notifying donors that they cannot deduct donations from taxes.
Miller, a public defender, said Griffin’s intention was to speak boldly and openly about common sense convictions and national pride — without yielding to government control through the regulation of nonprofit groups.
“He shouldn’t be punished for showing his pride in his country,” Miller said.
Griffin’s attorney also accused state campaign finance regulators of bias and singling out Cowboys for Trump for enforcement.
Since early 2020, Griffin has resisted pressure to register the group as a political committee, including filing an unsuccessful petition with the 10th District Court of Appeals.
The secretary of state’s office initially prevailed in a June 2020 arbitration decision that ordered Cowboys for Trump to register as a political committee, file expenditure and contribution reports and pay a fine of $7,800. Griffin never complied with the agreement.
Griffin was previously convicted in federal court of a misdemeanor for entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, without going inside the building. Last year, he became the first elected official to be banished from elected office in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol building, which disrupted Congress as it was trying to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
While still a county commissioner, Griffin joined with Republican colleagues in refusing to certify results of the June 2022 primary election based on distrust of the voting systems used to tally the vote, even though the county’s election official said there were no problems. The board ultimately certified the election on a 2-1 vote with Griffin still voting no based on a “gut feeling.”

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is looking up on the leaderboard at the AT&T Byron Nelson at a couple of contemporaries without nearly the resume the Dallas resident has built over the past 15 months.
In fact, Austin Eckroat and China’s Marty Dou are seeking a first PGA Tour victory.
The Oklahoma-raised Eckroat shot an 8-under 63, one better than Dou, and the pair shared a two-shot lead with Texan Ryan Palmer at 16 under after the third round of the Nelson on Saturday.
Scheffler was in the group at 14 under after the hometown favorite faltered with a bogey at the par-5 18th when his second shot hit the lip of a fairway bunker and stayed in it.
Palmer had an eagle putt for the outright lead on 18, but the 35-footer stopped just short, leaving him at 68. Scheffler shot even-par 71 after the best two-round start to his career with a pair of 64s.
Dou, who lives in the Dallas area and is on his home course at the TPC Craig Ranch, is the same age as the 26-year-old Scheffler. Eckroat is just two years younger and says he played plenty of golf “from all ages” with the former Texas Longhorn.
They might as well be years apart on pedigree.
Scheffler has the 2022 Masters title among six career victories — all since February of last year — and knows he will be in the field for the PGA Championship next week at Oak Hill.
Eckroat would appreciate the spot in the field at Oak Hill that a win at the Nelson would earn him. The former Oklahoma State player has plenty at stake regardless.
“A lot of job security,” Eckroat said. “A lot of things come with winning a PGA Tour event, and just hoping to get that done.”
Dou, who settled in the Dallas area about five years ago so he could pursue a career in golf, doesn’t even want to think about what a victory would mean in his home country.
“It’s going to be big for sure,” said Dou, a three-time winner on the Korn Ferry Tour. “There is a whole lot more golf to play, so I’m in good in the position like this, creating more chances, and that’s all I’m thinking.”
Vincent Norrman of Sweden shot 65 and was at 14 under with Scheffler, Jason Day (66) and Si Woo Kim (68). There were 25 players within five shots of the lead.
Tyrrell Hatton, at No. 17 the second-highest ranked player in the field behind No. 2 Scheffler, shot 65 and was 13 under alongside Patton Kizzire (64), Sung Kang (66) and Richy Werenski (68).
Eckroat had just one par on the front nine, answering a double-bogey at the par-3 seventh with his sixth and seventh birdies before the turn. The back nine was much more routine — six pars and three birdies.
“It just didn’t really faze me like it normally would,” Eckroat said. “Really happy how I handled that.”
Dou opened with a 63 that was overshadowed by a course record-tying 60 from South Korean S.Y. Noh, who had a second consecutive over-par around at 73 to fall out of contention.
After a 1-under 70 left him five shots behind Scheffler through two rounds, Dou quietly crept up the leaderboard before a 28-foot birdie putt on No. 16 put him in a tie for the lead.
Dou won’t have to worry about the large crowds following Scheffler, whose late flub kept him out of the final group. But he is a 54-hole leader for the first time.
“I think nerves is the same thing as me playing on the Korn Ferry,” Dou said. “You get into it and you’re going to be nervous no matter what.”
Scheffler could have taken a two-shot lead at the par-4 12th but missed a short birdie putt on the second-toughest hole, which was converted after playing as a par-5 in the Nelson’s first two years at the TPC Craig Ranch.
He missed two more decent chances at birdie on the back nine before the trouble on 18, when he also missed the green on an easy approach shot after finally getting out of the bunker.
“I just thinned it,” Scheffler said of the first bunker shot. “I wasn’t even thinking about the lip. I just hit a terrible shot.”
Palmer, a four-time winner on tour without a solo victory in 13 years, had a shaky start to the back nine before finishing with three birdies in five holes, capped by the tap-in at 18.
“It was a patient day,” said the 46-year-old Palmer, who grew up in West Texas but lives in the Dallas area. “I knew I was going to be one or two back, worst case. It’s going to be nice to be in the final group again, and we’ll give it our all.”
Two-time defending champion K.H. Lee shot a second consecutive 68 and was 7-under. The last player to win a PGA Tour event three consecutive times was Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic from 2009-11.

Skier killed, two others injured in large Colorado avalanche
MARBLE, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado skier has been killed and two other people were injured after getting caught in a massive backcountry avalanche in western Colorado.
The body of Joel Shute, 36, of Glenwood Springs was recovered Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
Shute had been missing since Friday evening, when he was buried in an avalanche that swept 2,400 feet down a mountainside where the victims were backcountry touring southwest of the town of Marble, authorities said.
The avalanche was two to three feet deep where it began and up to 500 feet wide, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center said. Rescue teams found the victim’s body buried about four feet deep in avalanche debris, the center said.
A skier and snowboarder who were with Shute survived. The snowboarder hiked out to get help and rescue teams evacuated the injured skier by helicopter. Both were taken to the hospital, the Gunnison County Sheriff’s office said.
Recent storms have raised avalanche risks.
Eighteen people have been killed across the U.S. by avalanches so far this winter. Avalanches last winter killed 37 people, which was the most recorded by the avalanche center in records going back to 1950.

NEW YORK (AP) — A longtime producer for Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News after he was deemed responsible for the on-air headline that referred to President Joe Biden as a “wannabe dictator” because of the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
The producer, Alex McCaskill, confirmed his exit in an Instagram post. Fox News did not comment on Friday.
He had remained at Fox after Carlson, the network’s most popular personality, was fired on April 24. The reason for Carlson’s sudden ouster, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million to end a defamation case, has never been publicly explained.
It was during the last minutes of Carlson’s former time slot on Tuesday when the message appeared under separate onscreen boxes that showed Biden and Trump talking. It read: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”
Carlson, in a Twitter monologue posted Thursday, said “the women who run the network panicked” about the post and scolded the person responsible. Carlson didn’t name the producer, but said he was “considered one of the most capable persons in the building.”
The producer offered to resign with two weeks’ notice, but was told to clean out his desk and leave immediately, he said.
Fox, in a statement on Wednesday, said the chyron had been taken down and the issue “addressed,” without further explanation.
In an Instagram message posted on Twitter by Justin Baragona of The Daily Beast, McCaskill is pictured outside of Fox’s Manhattan office holding a box.
“Today was my last day at Fox,” read the message under his picture. “It’s been a wild 10 years and it was the best place I’ve ever worked because of the great people I met. But the time has come. I asked them to let me go, and they finally did. To all my friends there: I will miss you forever.”
A call and text message to a phone listed as McCaskill’s was not immediately returned.
Plenty of Biden critics have suggested politics was behind Trump’s indictment by special prosecutor Jack Smith on charges of hoarding classified documents and resisting government attempts to retrieve them. Biden has not commented on the case.
McCaskill was named this spring in a lawsuit filed by a former Fox producer, Abby Grossberg, who also worked on Carlson’s staff. Her lawsuit said McCaskill “habitually belittled female employees” at Fox. He said that a room at Fox set aside for employees to pump breast milk was a “waste of space” and should be replaced with a room for men to tan their testicles, according to the lawsuit.
Fox has denied allegations in Grossberg’s lawsuit.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A Tokyo company aimed for the moon with its own private lander Sunday, blasting off atop a SpaceX rocket with the United Arab Emirates’ first lunar rover and a toylike robot from Japan that’s designed to roll around up there in the gray dust.
It will take nearly five months for the lander and its experiments to reach the moon.
The company ispace designed its craft to use minimal fuel to save money and leave more room for cargo. So it’s taking a slow, low-energy path to the moon, flying 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth before looping back and intersecting with the moon by the end of April.
By contrast, NASA’s Orion crew capsule with test dummies took five days to reach the moon last month. The lunar flyby mission ends Sunday with a Pacific splashdown.
The ispace lander will aim for Atlas crater in the northeastern section of the moon’s near side, more than 50 miles (87 kilometers) across and just over 1 mile (2 kilometers) deep. With its four legs extended, the lander is more than 7 feet (2.3 meters) tall.
With a science satellite already around Mars, the UAE wants to explore the moon, too. Its rover, named Rashid after Dubai’s royal family, weighs just 22 pounds (10 kilograms) and will operate on the surface for about 10 days, like everything else on the mission.
In addition, the lander is carrying an orange-sized sphere from the Japanese Space Agency that will transform into a wheeled robot on the moon. Also flying: a solid state battery from a Japanese-based spark plug company; an Ottawa, Ontario, company’s flight computer with artificial intelligence for identifying geologic features seen by the UAE rover; and 360-degree cameras from a Toronto-area company.
Hitching a ride on the rocket was a small NASA laser experiment that is now bound for the moon on its own to hunt for ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar south pole.
The ispace mission is called Hakuto, Japanese for white rabbit. In Asian folklore, a white rabbit is said to live on the moon. A second lunar landing by the private company is planned for 2024 and a third in 2025.
Founded in 2010, ispace was among the finalists in the Google Lunar XPRIZE competition requiring a successful landing on the moon by 2018. The lunar rover built by ispace never launched.
Another finalist, an Israeli nonprofit called SpaceIL, managed to reach the moon in 2019. But instead of landing gently, the spacecraft Beresheet slammed into the moon and was destroyed.
With Sunday’s predawn launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, ispace is now on its way to becoming one of the first private entities to attempt a moon landing. Although not launching until early next year, lunar landers built by Pittsburgh’s Astrobotic Technology and Houston’s Intuitive Machines may beat ispace to the moon thanks to shorter cruise times.
Only Russia, the U.S. and China have achieved so-called “soft landings” on the moon, beginning with the former Soviet Union’s Luna 9 in 1966. And only the U.S. has put astronauts on the lunar surface: 12 men over six landings.
Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of astronauts’ last lunar landing, by Apollo 17’s Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on Dec. 11, 1972.
NASA’s Apollo moonshots were all “about the excitement of the technology,” said ispace founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada, who wasn’t alive then. Now, “it’s the excitement of the business.”
“This is the dawn of the lunar economy,” Hakamada noted in the SpaceX launch webcast. “Let’s go to the moon.”
Liftoff should have occurred two weeks ago, but was delayed by SpaceX for extra rocket checks.
Eight minutes after launch, the recycled first-stage booster landed back at Cape Canaveral under a near full moon, the double sonic booms echoing through the night.

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics named Joe Mazzulla their full-time head coach on Thursday, removing the interim tag he has held throughout the season after stepping in for Ime Udoka.
Udoka was initially given a yearlong suspension before training camp for having an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the organization. The 34-year-old Mazzulla, a assistant under Udoka last season, will now replace his former boss, who will not return. Mazzulla is the NBA’s youngest head coach.
Terms of his new deal were not immediately available.
“As he has shown, Joe is a very talented coach and leader,” Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said in a statement. “He has a unique ability to galvanize a room around a mission. We are thankful for the work he has done to help get us to this point and excited that he has agreed to lead us into the future.”
The Celtics beat the Pistons 127-109 on Wednesday night and head into the All-Star break leading the Eastern Conference with a 42-17 record. Mazzulla and the Celtics staff of assistants will coach Team Giannis — the team that will be captained by Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo — in the game Saturday at Salt Lake City. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown also garnered All-Star selections.
Mazzulla, who is from Johnston, Rhode Island, was recognized as the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for games played in October and November after leading the team to a league-best 18-4 record (.818).
Udoka, a longtime assistant in his first NBA head coaching job, led Boston to a 51-31 record last season — going 26-6 in the final 32 games. The Celtics then beat Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Miami on the way to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games.
But before training camp, the Celtics banned Udoka for a full season over what two people with knowledge of the matter said was an improper relationship with a member of the organization. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not reveal that detail publicly.
Despite what Mazzulla and the team have acknowledged have been extraordinary circumstances, Boston has emerged from that preseason cloud with the NBA's best record and as a team looking capable of capitalizing on its current championship window.
“All things considered, everything that we’ve went through this season as a team with coaching changes and guys getting injured, missing games and being in and out of the lineup. ... Overall, it’s been a hell of a start,” Tatum said after the Pistons' win. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/sports/nba/celtics/celtics-coach-update-joe-mazzulla-boston-head-coach-nba-all-star-game/97-269a4692-1689-4bae-8c81-76a0caead880 | 2023-02-16 16:46:35 | 0 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/sports/nba/celtics/celtics-coach-update-joe-mazzulla-boston-head-coach-nba-all-star-game/97-269a4692-1689-4bae-8c81-76a0caead880 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom struck out nine over six innings of one-run ball Thursday night, leading the New York Mets to a 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Pete Alonso hit his 31st homer off the advertising signage in left field during a three-run third. The Mets increased their NL East lead over the idle Atlanta Braves to two games.
DeGrom (3-1) retired the first 13 batters, eventually allowing three hits and walking one. He has a 2.15 ERA and has struck out 46 while walking just two in 29 1/3 innings spanning five starts since his return from elbow and scapula injuries.
DeGrom was perfect until Jose Iglesias had an infield single with one out in the fifth. Randal Grichuk followed with a double down the third base line but deGrom struck out Sam Hilliard and got Brian Serven to line out to right.
Ryan McMahon, who saw a total of 11 pitches in his first two at-bats against deGrom, hit a 436-foot homer with one out in the sixth — the longest homer off deGrom since Kris Bryant's 436-foot drive in 2015.
The Rockies left the bases loaded against Seth Lugo in the seventh. Closer Edwin Diaz worked around a hit and a walk in the eighth while facing the middle of Colorado's order.
Adam Ottavino threw a perfect ninth for his first save since Sept. 1, 2021, when he was a member of the Boston Red Sox.
Alonso, who singled in his first at-bat, has multiple hits in consecutive games for the first time since July 31-Aug. 1. He was hitting just .167 in his previous 13 games.
Ryan Feltner (2-5) lasted 4 2/3 innings and was charged three runs on six hits. The right-hander, who went to a three-ball count on eight of the 21 batters he faced, walked two and struck out two.
SECOND TRY, FIRST PITCH
Ambassador Mikio Mori, the Japanese consul-general in New York, threw out the ceremonial first pitch — more than three months later than anticipated.
Mori was scheduled to throw out the first pitch prior to a game against the Seattle Mariners on May 16 as part of Japanese Heritage Night and one day before the first Japan Parade in New York City. But Mori arrived at the mound just after the famously intense Max Scherzer began his warmups. An equally amusing and awkward scene played out throughout Scherzer’s routine before Mori exited the field.
There were no such snafus Thursday, when Mori threw the first pitch to Masato Yoshii — the former Mets and Rockies pitcher — at 6:53 PM, about 15 minutes before deGrom headed out of the dugout to warm up to “Simple Man.”
SHEA IT ISN’T SO
Rockies manager Bud Black, who pitched for five teams from 1981 through 1995, went 5-0 with a 1.93 ERA in eight starts against the Mets — the only opponent whom Black had a sub-2.00 ERA against.
“I pitched good here (at Shea Stadium) and I pitched good in San Francisco against them,” Black said. “Don’t know why, but it’s good to hear.”
Told his ERA was deGrom-like, Black grinned.
“Well,” Black said before pausing. “I’ll take that, too, as a compliment. Because he’s a good one.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: RHP Chad Kuhl (right hip) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is slated to return to the rotation Friday. Black said Kuhl, who threw 86 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque last Saturday, should be able to handle his usual workload against the Mets. To make room for Kuhl on the roster, RHP Robert Stephenson was designated for assignment.
Mets: INF Eduardo Escobar (left oblique) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Brooklyn and went 2 for 4 while playing seven innings at shortstop — a position at which he hasn’t started in the majors since 2018. Escobar could return this weekend.
UP NEXT
Rockies: Kuhl (6-7, 5.16 ERA) is 0-2 with a 11.49 ERA in four starts since his most recent win July 8.
Mets: RHP Chris Bassitt (11-7, 3.26 ERA) is 4-0 with a 0.69 ERA in four starts this month.

Airline breakdown upends holiday leave for service members
(AP) - Amiah Manlove used most of her savings to buy a $711 airline ticket to go home for the holidays. Then the Army private got stuck midway through the over 4,000-mile journey from Hawaii to Indianapolis and had to sleep on an airport floor.
Manlove, 20, an active-duty soldier stationed in Oahu, was among the many travelers whose holiday plans were upended when Southwest Airlines canceled wave after wave of flights across the country. Her father then spent his rent money to buy her a new flight after she was stranded at the Phoenix airport.
“This is the only time that I have to come home, the time we were going to cherish most for the next year — and to lose any of it is just devastating,” said Manlove, who was finally able to make it home the afternoon of Christmas Day. “They would have done anything in their power to get me home.”
Travelers who are in the military are often on fixed schedules that make it challenging to roll with the punches of chaotic airline breakdowns.
The Army typically shuts down basic training and advanced individual training schools for a 10-day break during the Christmas season. Active-duty soldiers can use some of their 30 days of accrued annual leave if they want to travel home during that period, but transportation costs aren’t covered.
While she was stranded, Manlove’s family searched frantically for solutions, and her father, a home health aide who relies on disability payments, used the $650 he saved for rent to purchase the only flight he could find — a one-way flight to Louisville, Kentucky, a two-hour drive from Indianapolis.
When he came to pick her up, they were so happy to be reunited that he was in tears before she opened the door to get in the car, she said.
“It was heartbreaking,” she said.
Manlove, who is scheduled to fly back to Hawaii on Sunday, said she has not been able to reach Southwest on the phone to get a refund. She called more than 10 times and reached out on social media. The airline expected to resume normal operations on Friday.
The family still doesn’t know how her father is going to pay rent, she said. For now, they’ve just been trying to enjoy the time they have together.
“It put a lot of stress on me because I have so many friends and family to see, and 10 days is not a lot,” she said. “It’s not like I can just call my leadership and be like, ‘Oh, hey, can I have some more time?’ That’s not how that works.”
“I’m sure their hearts would be just as heavy as mine, telling them what happened, but I have a duty and a job to do, and I can’t spend all the time in the world here at home.”
Crystal and Steve Molidor in Trout Creek, Montana, said they’ve been waiting 15 months to see their son, who serves in the Air Force and just returned to the U.S. from being deployed. He is now stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, and his mother said his flight home on Southwest Airlines has been canceled at least four times already.
“We lost four plus days and Christmas with him due to their complete incompetence,” she said. “We can’t extend his trip because he can’t change up his leave dates at this point.”
Crystal Molidor said she was on hold with Southwest for six hours Tuesday night and into the early hours of Wednesday morning trying to reach a customer service representative, but wasn’t able to get through to anyone. When she woke up Wednesday, she tried again but gave up after a few more hours of silence.
She said the family finally decided to spend a couple hundred dollars to schedule a flight home for him on a different airline for Thursday, she said.
“I know this isn’t a lot of money – it’s more the stress they’ve caused our family and the principle of it,” she said. “To continue to let people rebook instead of looking at other options when they knew the flights would be canceled is wrong. Had they been honest upfront, we could have gotten him here a few days sooner.”
“I’ll just be glad when he’s home,” she said.
Veterans have faced their own challenges. Air Force veteran Kevin Moffitt was finally able to schedule a flight home to Atlanta for Thursday after being stuck since Monday in Philadelphia, where he flew last week to visit family for Christmas.
The 51-year-old, who served in Afghanistan and now works in law enforcement, said the delays caused him to miss work and a long-awaited appointment for a scan he needs for back pain at the veteran’s hospital.
He said he had to spend $579 with Delta for his new flight after being rescheduled multiple times by Southwest. He said he tried calling Southwest five times to discuss a refund but to no avail. On Wednesday, he received an email from the airline telling him he was getting a $15 refund with no context explaining what it was for.
Meanwhile, he’s been paying to park his car at the Atlanta airport on top of a $50-a-day charge to board his dog.
But he said his biggest concern was that he ran out of medication he relies on to treat his PTSD. When he misses a day, he experiences nausea, vomiting and severe headaches, among other symptoms.
“Hopefully nothing goes wrong,” he said of his next flight. “I’m hoping and praying nothing happens.”

I remember when Northeast 39th and Glisan really was a roundabout (Dr. Know, WW, Sept. 14), before bureaucrats added stop signs. But what about the small traffic circles that make drivers swerve around them into the path of pedestrians? Wouldn’t speed bumps be safer and more effective? —Rich A.
As is often my wont, Rich, I’m going to use your question to answer a completely different question and hope that nobody notices. (Though who knows? If my supply of alkaloids holds out I might get around to answering your question as well.) So, why don’t the small traffic circles that litter our neighborhoods like so many blue-tarp dwellings count as roundabouts? I’m glad you asked!
At a nuts-and-bolts level, the difference between these little circles and true roundabouts is that streets approaching a roundabout have (a) yield signs and (b) medians separating the two lanes of traffic so you can’t enter the circle in the wrong direction. On a more philosophical level, however, traffic circles are intended as traffic calming devices, while roundabouts are also traffic control devices. It’s the difference between giving the traffic a Xanax and a warm blanket and giving it LSD and turning it over to a CIA hypnotist.
All right, perhaps that’s overly dramatic. Still, traffic circles mainly just slow traffic down and reduce side-impact collisions. Roundabouts do all that while also taking on the function of more traditional traffic control methods like signals or four-way stops.
Now, on to your speed bumps. (Lucky for you, I’ve got a few speed bumps left myself.) First, you’re almost certainly thinking of speed humps, the wide mounds you find in most Portland roadways that used to be good shortcuts. Speed bumps are what you find in parking lots where the speed limit is 5 mph; they’re maybe 1 foot wide and feel like you ran over a toddler.
Are speed humps better? Unlike circles, they can be deployed between intersections, and as you note, they don’t risk interfering with adjacent crosswalks. However, humps are also louder than circles, and they’re a bad choice for bus routes. (Buses can navigate traffic circles fairly easily as long as they’re not required to turn left at one.)
So, like anything else, it depends. What I really want to know is how the entire field of traffic engineering became solely about making it harder to get where you’re going. But I suppose that’s just the 20th century in me talking.

- The CMA CGM Group is committed to boldly acting for more sustainable, efficient and fluid transport solutions.
- CMA CGM continues to implement initiatives designed to support U.S. exporters and expedite the flow of goods.
- The Group's New TEUs to Trees Early Container Return Incentive Program will provide customers 2.5 tons of carbon credit per container to offset emissions and support U.S. socio-environmental projects.
NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The CMA CGM Group, a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, announced today the launch of TEUs to Trees, an early container return incentive program designed to increase climate change mitigation in the United States while assisting in the overall effort to improve both the fluidity and velocity of the supply chain. The program will be in effect from October 1, 2022, to December 30, 2022.
A Group dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable operations
This new incentive program is an opportunity to reward customers for doing their part to increase equipment availability while also helping them offset their environmental footprint. The carbon credits CMA CGM will purchase on behalf of its customers will notably be used to expand U.S. forestry, support urban resilience projects in vulnerable communities and drive the creation of additional offset projects in the United States. Through this program, the Group also aims to partner with its customers and move forward together towards a more sustainable shipping.
In order to increase impact, CMA CGM has also expanded this new early container return incentive to cover both refrigerated and dry containers as well as every U.S. ocean terminal where CMA CGM receives empty containers. This enables shippers of all sizes and locations to offset carbon emissions and positively contribute to socio-environmental projects in the United States.
A continued effort to improve supply chain velocity in the United States
With a thriving global economy, the shipping industry has experienced an unprecedented spike in demand throughout North America, leading to increased pressure on capacity and ports. Throughout the surge, CMA CGM has leveraged its extensive capabilities that include sea, land, air, and logistics services to provide an array of flexible transport solutions to assist customers.
The company has also increased capacity and made significant investments in equipment. In addition, CMA CGM was the first to freeze spot rates, and in March of this year, the Group dedicated vessel capacity to small and medium enterprises in both Europe and North America at rates typically only provided to high-volume shippers.
This newly launched incentive program is the third implemented by CMA CGM to encourage early pickup and return of containers.
An innovative program with positive socio-environmental impact
CMA CGM's new incentive program is projected to result in forest conservation and urban resilience projects in some of the United States' most vulnerable communities.
Credits will be provided to CMA CGM customers that return both dry and refrigerated containers originating from nearly 20 Asian countries to CMA CGM-approved return locations in port cities throughout the United States (rail ramps not included).
Throughout the program, each applicable importer of record (consignee listed on the Bill of Lading) will receive:
- 2.5 tons of carbon credits per container returned during calendar days 1–4. To calculate the credit, CMA CGM will utilize EDI transaction data and will not require invoices or additional documentation from customers.
- A progress report every 30 days. At the end of the program, customers will be issued an official carbon offset certificate for total credits earned.
Solutions designed to accelerate the energy transition of shipping and logistics
The CMA CGM Group has pledged to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050 and, as a result, has implemented a very focused decarbonization strategy.
- USD 1.5 billion Special Fund for Energies: The CMA CGM Group announced earlier this month that it is creating a USD1.5 billion Special Fund for Energies to accelerate its energy transition. The Fund will be structured around four lines of focus: Supporting the development and production of renewable fuels; Accelerating the decarbonization of port terminals, warehouses, and truck fleets; Supporting, testing and launching projects at the cutting edge of innovation; and pursuing energy savings and improving the energy efficiency of CMA CGM employee working methods and daily mobility.
- E-methane Ready Fleet: In 2017, CMA CGM was the first to invest in dual-fuel vessels that currently run on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The engines installed on these vessels are already compatible with biomethane and e-methane. Currently the Group has 31 "e-methane ready" vessels in service and will have a total of 77 by 2026.
- Alternative Energy Investments: The Group is investing in a variety of projects designed to accelerate the development of new energies. CMA CGM recently joined the Jupiter 1000 Project, which aims to produce e-methane using green hydrogen generated from sustainable electricity and CO2 captured from industrial processes. CMA CGM also announced in July 2022 with Engie, a global leader in low-carbon energy and services, plans to co-invest in the Salamander project, the first industrial and commercial unit for second-generation biomethane production.
- Bunkering Infrastructure: To support the growth of an e-methane ready fleet, the CMA CGM Group is also helping develop port infrastructure to support the bunkering of alternative energies. In 2021, the Group completed the very first ship-to-ship LNG simultaneous bunkering operation at the Port of Shanghai, which is a new milestone for the energy transition.
- Environmentally-focused service offerings: CMA CGM has also dedicated itself to supporting the decarbonization journey of its customers and, as a result, has developed a range of innovative services called ACT with CMA CGM+. These services enable customers to measure, analyze, reduce and offset their carbon footprint when shipping with CMA CGM.
- Actions to preserve and restore marine and inland biodiversity, notably towards oceans, mangroves or forests, which are strong natural carbon sinks, essential to absorb greenhouse gas such as a partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Maryland and Virginia to plant millions of juvenile oysters on newly constructed reefs to preserve water quality and biodiversity, and the Reef Recovery program with five coral nurseries worldwide, including one in Florida. CMA CGM also partners with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to increase protection of the North Atlantic Right Whale, and recently launched two passive acoustic monitoring buoys off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia, and Savannah, Georgia.
Ed Aldridge, President of CMA CGM America and American President Lines, said, "Our newest incentive program is a perfect example of our continual quest to create innovative solutions that result in BETTER WAYS of doing business. Encouraging customers to return boxes sooner provides additional containers and chassis for export bookings, and the type of incentive we are offering will result in the formation of new socio-environmental projects right here in the United States. It is our hope that through this program, others in the industry will be inspired to leverage their capabilities to positively impact the environment and our local communities."

Vehicle collides with food truck in Austin, Texas; 11 hurt
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Eleven people were injured in a “major collision” Friday night in Austin, Texas, involving pedestrians and two vehicles, one of which hit a food truck, authorities said.
Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services tweeted that two of the victims sustained potential life-threatening injuries. Seven others sustained non-life-threatening injuries requiring medical evaluation. The other two didn’t require hospitalization.
The collision occurred in a popular area near downtown Austin where there are frequently several food carts stationed.
Jennifer Dunn, an employee at a nearby restaurant, told The Associated Press that a group of 25 people had just left to get ice cream at a food truck a few feet away when patrons inside the restaurant heard a loud boom.
Dunn said several members of the group then ran back inside injured and asking for help. Dunn said she and others ran to the scene where several people, including the drivers, appeared severely hurt.
“We work in the restaurant industry, so we are used to helping,” Dunn said. “I have been doing this for a long (time), so have the servers and we just wanted to help.”
Austin is the Texas state capital and home to the flagship campus of the University of Texas.

USDA: Turkeys to be more expensive this Thanksgiving
(CNN) - Here’s something Americans won’t be thankful for this Thanksgiving: turkeys might be more expensive and harder to find.
In the case of cost per pound, birds cost about 73% more now than they did last turkey day. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that comes out to about $1.99 a pound compared to a $1.15 last year.
It costs farmers more to raise turkeys now, due to inflation.
But when it comes to availability, the bird flu is to blame.
It typically spreads during colder months, but farmers have been reporting a large number of cases since July, when producers generally begin breeding for the holiday season.
Experts said there is a chance suppliers could add more turkeys to the market “at the last minute.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Christie, one of the only 2016 presidential candidates to seriously consider taking on Donald Trump again, says he and his fellow Republican rivals made a strategic error in that race.
Instead of going after Trump directly, Christie said, each hoped to winnow the GOP field before taking on the combative outsider.
“None of us ever got there,” the former New Jersey governor said last week. “It was over quick.”
More than seven years later, Republicans are still trying to figure out how to run against Trump, a calculation that’s only become more complicated with an indictment of the former president by a Manhattan grand jury.
Trump’s unrestrained and norm-busting style carried him from reality TV to the White House, transforming the Republican Party in his image along the way. But his style has befuddled those who try to compete against him, especially now as they seek to win over some of his supporters rather than draw their ire.
Some in 2016 tried to ignore Trump, like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who treated the celebrity businessman like a sideshow. Some tried to figuratively wrestle with him in the mud, like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who traded insults with Trump by mocking his hair and the size of his hands.
Neither approach worked.
“I think most politicians are not used to playing the game in such a pugilistic fashion as Trump and not as good at it,” said Jason Roe, a Michigan-based Republican political strategist.
As the 2024 field takes shape, candidates and potential contenders are struggling with how to make the case that the party needs to move on from Trump without alienating his influential “Make America Great Again” loyalists.
Trump is still considered the GOP front-runner despite facing a criminal indictment, being the subject of several other investigations, spreading false claims about his 2020 election defeat and inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, among other things.
Most of Trump’s rivals or those who are eyeing a 2024 campaign have largely avoided talking about those scandals, instead opting for more shrouded criticism. Even with Trump becoming the first former president to be charged with a crime, most of his GOP rivals were quick to echo Trump’s complaint that the case is politically motivated.
Few, however, addressed the allegations related to Trump’s role in payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of extramarital sexual encounters. Trump has denied the allegations and proclaimed his innocence.
One notable exception is former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has been critical of Trump in recent months and announced in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” that he’s running for president. Hutchinson said Trump should drop out and focus on his legal troubles, calling them “too much of a sideshow and a distraction.”
Hutchinson, who considers himself part of the evangelical community that makes up a key bloc of the Republican electorate, said all of the serious investigations Trump is facing “should give Americans pause.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to announce a campaign and is seen as Trump’s top rival, accused prosecutors of stretching the law to target an opponent. But his remarks came a week after DeSantis took a shot at the tawdry circumstances underlying the case when asked to comment on it.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair,” DeSantis said.
In an interview with Piers Morgan that aired a few days later, DeSantis lobbed a few subdued critiques about Trump’s leadership style but tried to brush off Trump’s repeated insults.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who launched her campaign in February, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is considering a presidential run, both avoided criticizing Trump by name in speeches last month at a conservative gathering and instead noted how the GOP had lost so many elections in recent years.
Haley told the crowd, “If you’re tired of losing, then put your trust in a new generation,” a remark seen as a jab at the 76-year-old Trump. Pompeo said Republicans cannot follow “celebrity leaders with their own brand of identity politics, those with fragile egos who refuse to acknowledge reality.”
Those tactics are what Roe said might be the best strategy to run against Trump — mocking his electoral performance rather than getting into a slugfest.
Roe, speaking shortly before news of Trump’s indictment broke, said the case and Trump’s reaction to it had already “sucked up all the oxygen.”
“I don’t think it pays off getting into a fight with him now,” he said.
That seems to be the calculus for Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence. He has mostly taken a softer approach with Trump despite having to flee to safety as Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and some in the crowd chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!”
Pence, who is now considering his own presidential campaign, has made limited criticism of Trump and reserved his sharpest comments for an untelevised speech in Washington to politicians and journalists.
Speaking last month at the white-tie Gridiron Dinner, Pence said Trump was “wrong” on Jan. 6 and his “reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol.”
But on Thursday and Friday, after news of Trump’s indictment broke, Pence repeatedly called the case an outrage.
If there’s one lesson from 2016, it’s that Trump’s Republican rivals can “get so preoccupied with trying to trade blows him that they don’t realize that they’re taking mortal punches,” Roe said. “And he gets stronger in that environment.”
No one learned that lesson quite like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Cruz initially was friendly with Trump as they competed for the party’s nomination in 2016 and Cruz even praised the New Yorker.
But as the campaign wore on, the relationship soured and the two traded insults. Trump disparaged the appearance of Cruz’s wife and bizarrely suggested that Cruz’s father may have been involved in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Cruz, asked last week what lessons he learned from taking on Trump, had a pithy response.
“Get more votes than your opponent,” he said with a smirk.

ATLANTA — Marcell Ozuna was increasingly frustrated against Sonny Gray, a history he updated in his mind with his latest strikeout in his first at-bat on Monday night.
Before the homer, Ozuna was 2 for 12 — yes, with five strikeouts — against Gray.
Ronald Acuña Jr. added a two-run homer in a three-run seventh. In the matchup of first-place teams in the NL East and AL Central, the Braves won for the 11th time in 12 games.
Minnesota played its first game at Truist Park, which opened in 2017, a year after the Twins visited Turner Field.
Joey Gallo’s 13th homer gave the Twins a 1-0 lead in the second. Strider gave up a third-inning single to Alex Kirilloff and then got 13 consecutive outs before walking Gallo with two outs in the seventh. Strider struck out Kyle Farmer to end the inning.
Strider (9-2) won his fifth consecutive decision, reaching double-digit strikeouts for the 11th time in 36 starts, including five this season. He has allowed one run in each of his last two starts after giving up a combined 13 runs in back-to-back games.
“It’s baseball, you play any game long enough you’re going to have bad games,” Strider said. “I try not to get too high or too low. It’s too early in the season.”
Before Ozuna’s homer, the only run allowed by Gray (4-2) came in the fourth, when Austin Riley singled, took third on Matt Olson’s single and scored when Travis d’Arnaud grounded into a forceout.
“It was back and forth from the pitchers inning after inning,” said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. “Sonny was fantastic. Sonny was just — he was great.”
With two outs in the seventh, Gray gave up an infield single to Michael Harris II and Acuña followed with a 432-foot drive to left off Emilio Pagán for a three-run lead.
“I knew they’re playing really, really well right now and they’re swinging the bats well,” Gray said. “They’re a good team. I was more focused on that knowing that Strider is also a very, very good pitcher as well.”
SAVE FOR YATES
Kirby Yates pitched the ninth for his first save since Aug. 7, 2020 with San Diego against Arizona. Yates struck out Gallo and pinch-hitter Byron Buxton for the final outs. The Braves rested closer Raisel Iglesias, who pitched back-to-back wins in Cincinnati last weekend.
ROSTER MOVES
Before the game, the Braves optioned right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver to Triple-A Gwinnett and recalled right-hander Dereck Rodríguez from Gwinnett for bullpen depth. Smith-Shawver (1-0, 4.32 in four games, including three starts) had been on schedule to start Wednesday but the Braves may recall right-hander Michael Soroka from Gwinnett.
SUCCESS AGAINST CENTRAL TEAMS
The Braves, coming off two wins in a three-game series against NL Central-leading Cincinnati, improved to 14-2 against teams from the AL and NL Central Divisions. That includes a 6-1 mark against AL Central teams.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Twins: RHP José De León will need a second Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. De León was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday after hurting his elbow while warming up a day earlier. Minnesota recalled RHP Josh Winder from Triple-A St. Paul. ... 2B Jorge Polanco (left knee inflammation) has started baseball activities, including taking grounders and hitting in a cage.
Braves: Manager Brian Snitker said LHP Max Fried (strained left forearm) is “just continuing the process” by throwing his third bullpen session before the game. The Braves hope Fried, who has been on the injured list since May 7, can return in late July.
UP NEXT
Braves RHP Bryce Elder (5-1, 2.40) starts Tuesday night against Twins RHP Joe Ryan (8-4, 2.98).

A West Virginia man initially charged with assaulting a police officer who died after defending the U.S. Capitol from a mob pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor offenses that could allow him to avoid more jail time. Another man accused of attacking the officer with bear spray is weighing a stricter plea deal that calls for a prison sentence exceeding six years.
A federal grand jury indicted George Pierre Tanios last year on felony charges that he conspired with a Pennsylvania man, Julian Elie Khater, to assault and injure Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick with chemical spray during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tanios, 40, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, each of which carries a maximum sentence of one year of imprisonment.
Prosecutors also have extended an offer for Khater to plead guilty to felony assault charges. If he accepts the offer, estimated sentencing guidelines will recommend a prison term ranging from six years and six months to eight years and one month. Khater hasn't decided whether to accept that plea offer, one of his lawyers said Wednesday during a virtual hearing.
The medical examiner's office in Washington, D.C., determined in April 2021 that Sicknick, 42, suffered a stroke and died from natural causes.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan is scheduled to sentence Tanios on Dec. 6. Hogan said the estimated sentencing guidelines for Tanios range from no jail time to six months of imprisonment for both counts. Tanios was jailed for about five months after his arrest and could get credit for time served.
Khater has remained jailed while awaiting a trial in October on felony charges, including assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. Prosecutors' offer to Khater would require him to plead guilty to that charge. The offer expires on Aug. 17.
Tanios, of Morgantown, West Virginia, and Khater, of State College, Pennsylvania, weren't charged in Sicknick's death. But the case against them has been among the most prominent brought by the Justice Department, which is prosecuting hundreds of people for their conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Sicknick and other officers were standing guard behind metal bicycle racks as the mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Prosecutors have said Khater sprayed Sicknick and other officers with bear spray after retrieving a canister from Tanios' backpack.
Tanios' attorneys have said he brought the chemical spray to Washington for self-defense at the "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6. In a court filing last year, they said there was no evidence that Tanios and Khater planned to use the spray in "an ultra-coordinated attack" on police.
"Indeed, had Mr. Tanios been a violent member of a mob and a willing participant in a riot, he would have been running around spraying people himself. He never did because that was not the reason for his travel to Washington, D.C.," they wrote.
Tanios pleaded guilty to two counts: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. Both are misdemeanors punishable by a maximum sentence of one year of imprisonment and a fine of up to $100,000.
Tanios isn't accused of entering the Capitol on Jan. 6.
A trial for Khater is scheduled to start on Oct. 5.
Hogan had refused to free Tanios and Khater from jail before trial, calling them dangerous. The judge said Tanios "coordinated the direct assault" on Sicknick and two other officers.
"Mr. Khater did the spraying. Mr. Tanios did not, but he obviously worked with him on that despite (defense) counsel's arguments," Hogan said during a May 2021 hearing, according to a transcript.
But a federal appeals court ruled in August 2021 that Tanios could be released from pretrial detention. A three-judge panel concluded that Hogan erred in assessing the danger posed by Tanios, who didn't have any felony convictions or ties to any extremist organizations.
Tanios operated a sandwich restaurant in Morgantown near West Virginia University's campus. Khater told investigators that he drove from New Jersey to pick up Tanios in West Virginia before they traveled to Washington on the eve of the riot.
In a court filing last year, prosecutors said Tanios and Khater "carefully timed their assault on the officers to occur in tandem with an attack on the police barrier."
"This allowed the defendants to assault the officers while they were distracted, maximizing their chances of landing chemical spray in their eyes and thus incapacitating them to the point where the police line would break," they wrote.
More than 100 police officers were injured at the Capitol.
The medical examiner's office concluded that a medical condition alone -- not an injury -- caused Sicknick's death. U.S. Capitol Police said the medical examiner's findings didn't change the fact that Sicknick had died in the line of duty, "courageously defending Congress and the Capitol."
"The attack on our officers, including Brian, was an attack on our democracy," police officials said in a statement last year.
More than 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to Jan. 6. Over 340 have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 200 have been sentenced. More than 260 people are charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement during the riot, according to the Justice Department.

Norris, LSO address concerns surrounding investigation into alleged teacher-student relationship
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - While school is out at Norris High School, Tuesday night parents showed up for an emergency meeting about the arrest of a former teacher who is alleged to have been in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student.
It was revealed at that meeting that the teacher, 23-year-old Lillie Bowman, who is charged with sexual abuse by a school employee is the one who first raised the alarm bells on herself.
Norris administrators said on April 6 Bowman told them a student was spreading rumors that she was having an inappropriate relationship with a senior student.
Assistant Principal Dr. Kristyn Jones said Bowman and the 17-year-old denied the rumor was true. From there Jones said she tracked down the student who was said to have started that rumor. That student allegedly told Jones they heard it from an adult in the community who didn’t know if it was true, but thought it wasn’t.
Jones said at that time, she told the student if the rumor wasn’t true and they kept talking about it they could get in trouble, but if they knew anything else to let her know.
Jones told the School Resource Officer, who works for the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, about the rumor but said that it was unfounded.
Five weeks later, on May 18, Bowman was arrested.
Parents at Tuesday night’s meeting are asking for more accountability.
“To have a glaring lack of judgment like this warrants very harsh discipline,” said Eric Pillard a Norris parent.
One of the concerns hit on in the meeting was that administrators conducted the investigation and not law enforcement.
“In 2023, simply talking to students is not adequate at this point for a threat or a situation that’s come to light in this magnitude,” Pillard said “Definitely needs, warrants further investigation.”
This is one thing that Chief Deputy Ben Houchin with LSO said the school could have done differently.
“If it’s a major crime...I think the best thing would be to start with us,” Houchin said. “And then we can go from there.”
Another concern among parents, and board member Aaron Wubbels, was how a student who was reportedly spreading the rumor about the relationship was treated.
Wubbels and administrators said the student was threatened with discipline.
“We tell our children, talk to an adult and so when it’s something this serious where’s the line that we look at go instead of threatening discipline we should dig deeper into this,” Wubbels.
That question was met by applause from Norris parents.
Administrators said at the time, they didn’t think the rumor was true based on an interview with Bowman and her victim, and the student who the district said started the rumor.
“It was communicated to that student like if you have additional information, and you make sure that you come and talk to adults,” an administrator said at Tuesday’s meeting. “But if what you’re saying is, is not true. And what you’re saying could be causing harm. And you know, that’s not true, then you shouldn’t be doing that.”
Some weren’t satisfied by this answer, especially as court documents said during the time of this investigation the rumor was true, the district just didn’t know it.
“This is very clearly the administration made a determination of who was at fault,” Pillard said. “They let it go, they made their decision. And it turned out to be very wrong.”
Board members encouraged community members to share suggestions about how they make changes, including internal changes like calling law enforcement first and external changes like changing state statutes to include teacher-student relationships on the list of crimes that have to be mandatory reported by all adults.

Dolly Parton says she doesn’t want to be a digital hologram after she dies
Published: Jul. 4, 2023 at 12:06 PM EDT|Updated: 30 minutes ago
(CNN) - When it comes to holograms, it’s a hard no for Dolly Parton.
During a press event for her upcoming album “Rockstar” -- the legendary country singer was asked about the idea of a digital hologram being used in her place after she dies.
The 77-year-old reportedly said the body of work she already has here on Earth will suffice.
In recent years, holograms have been used for performances by iconic artists like the late Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur.

(The Hill) – President Biden is drawing criticism from lawmakers and public health experts who warn his assertion that the COVID-19 pandemic is over could undermine the administration’s rollout of new booster shots, as well as efforts to secure more funding from Congress.
“The pandemic is over,” Biden told “60 Minutes” in an interview that ran Sunday.
“We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lotta work on it. It’s — but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing. And I think this [the Detroit Auto Show resuming] is a perfect example of it,” Biden said during a trip to Detroit last week in an interview with Scott Pelley.
Biden’s comments reflect the administration’s efforts to signal a return to normalcy and show progress in efforts to control the pandemic. The administration has focused its recent messaging on the importance of getting vaccinated and receiving booster shots to increase immunity, as well as the wide availability of antiviral pills and other forms of treatment for those who contract the virus.
But the remarks also contradict some of the White House’s top advisers.
“The pandemic isn’t over. And we will remain vigilant, and of course, we continue to look for and prepare for unforeseen twists and turns,” Ashish Jha, the White House’s COVID-19 response coordinator, told reporters on Sept. 6.
The virus is still killing about 400 people per day, a number that is “far too high for a vaccine-preventable disease,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said recently.
The White House declined to comment.
Biden’s remarks are also likely to complicate efforts to convince lawmakers to include in a must-pass government spending bill a $22.4 billion request for additional vaccines and treatments.
“One can imagine that by saying the pandemic is over now, you know, the small window of opportunity or the possibility that there might be additional COVID funding becomes almost impossible at this point,” said Josh Michaud, associate director for global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Federal health officials said the funding is crucial to help meet immediate short-term domestic needs, like testing and research and development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics. It also would help to prepare for future variants.
Republicans have been unwilling to provide the administration with billions of dollars in new money, and some immediately seized on Biden’s remarks.
“Now that the President has finally acknowledged the pandemic is over, he should immediately begin to unwind the public health emergency (PHE) so our country can get back to normal,” Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) said in a statement Monday.
“Instead of clinging to his emergency powers and asking for $22 billion in more COVID-19 spending, President Biden should get to work and take seriously the need to rebuild trust and confidence in America’s public health agencies,” she added.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the public health emergency is not being lifted.
“The COVID Public Health Emergency remains in effect & HHS will provide a 60-day notice to states before any possible termination or expiration. As we’ve done previously, we’ll continue to lean on the science to determine the length of the PHE,” tweeted Sarah Lovenheim, spokeswoman for HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
Health experts warn prematurely declaring the pandemic over could also undermine the administration’s rollout of an updated booster shot.
Administration officials say the new vaccines will be key to controlling a potential fall surge, and 100 million Americans could be infected without additional funding. “The overall framing of the pandemic being over doesn’t add to the urgent messaging coming from other parts of the administration saying that it’s absolutely critical for people to get their booster shot,” Michaud said. | https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/biden-draws-heat-for-saying-pandemic-is-over/ | 2022-09-20 11:07:42 | 0 | https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/biden-draws-heat-for-saying-pandemic-is-over/ |
Bruce Willis' wife, model Emma Heming Willis, shared an emotional video asking paparazzi not to yell at her husband and to give him space when they see him in public.
Willis was diagnosed with aphasia last year and, more recently, frontotemporal dementia. The "Die Hard" star was filmed and photographed last week on a rare public outing to a coffee shop in Santa Monica, and some tabloids published photos or a video.
"In the spirit of raising awareness around dementia, it's clear that there's still a lot of education that needs to be put forth," Emma said in her video, which she posted to Instagram over the weekend. "This one is going out to the photographers and the video people that are trying to get those exclusives of my husband out and about: Just keep your space."
Emma said Willis' friends did a "stand-up job" of protecting the actor, who turns 68 this month.
"For the video people, please don’t be yelling at my husband asking him how he’s doing or whatever," she added. "The ‘woohoo’-ing and the ‘yippee ki-yays’… just don’t do it. OK? Allow for our family or whoever’s with him that day to be able to get him from point A to point B safely."
She added in a caption: "To other caregivers or dementia care specialist navigating this world…. Any tips or advice on how to get your loved ones out in the world safely?"
Willis' family announced his diagnosis of aphasia in 2022. Last month, they said his condition had progressed and he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
"We know in our hearts that — if he could today — he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families," the family said in a statement at the time. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/bruce-willis-wife-emma-paparazzi-plea-video/507-f054cc23-8985-4438-b1d5-ab0cc0a8ffdc | 2023-03-06 17:49:32 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/bruce-willis-wife-emma-paparazzi-plea-video/507-f054cc23-8985-4438-b1d5-ab0cc0a8ffdc |
Delfonics lead singer William 'Poogie' Hart dead at 77
New York — William “Poogie” Hart, a founder of the Grammy-winning trio the Delfonics who helped write and sang a soft lead tenor on such classic “Sound of Philadelphia” ballads as “La-La (Means I Love You)” and “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)," has died. He was 77.
His son Hadi told the New York Times Wednesday that Hart died July 14 at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. The cause was complications during surgery.
From the late 1960s to the mid 1970s, the Delfonics had six top 40 pop hits and more than a dozen top 20 R&B hits. With Thom Bell serving as producer and co-writer, their sound was defined by the rich orchestral arrangements and layered harmonies — Hart at times rising to a falsetto — that made Philadelphia soul as essential to the '70s as Detroit's Motown label had been in the previous decade.
The Delfonics, whose other songs included “Ready or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide from Love)” and “Break Your Promise,” were among the first successes in a wave of Philadelphia vocal groups that included the Spinners, the O'Jays and the Stylistics. Their songs remained known well after they stopped having hits. The Delfonics were heard on soundtracks for movies by Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee and were covered by Prince, Aretha Franklin and other artists. Nicki Minaj, the Fugees and many other performers sampled them.
In 1971, “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" brought the Delfonics a Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group. They were voted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2014.
Hart was a Washington, D.C., native, born in 1945. He later moved to Philadelphia and began singing in groups as a teenager, and with younger brother Wilbert Hart and Randy Cain (later replaced by Major Harris) formed the precursor to the Delfonics, the Orthonics, in 1965. They soon learned of a local writer-arranger, Bell, who eventually worked not just with the Delfonics but with the Spinners and Stylistics.
The Delfonics initially broke up in the 1970s, but later toured in various combinations. Hart's outside projects included the 2007 album “Three Tenors of Soul” with two other stars from the '70s: Russell Thompkins Jr. of the Stylistics and Ted Mills from Blue Magic. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/music/2022/07/21/delfonics-lead-singer-william-poogie-hart-dead-77/10115753002/ | 2022-07-21 15:22:32 | 0 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/music/2022/07/21/delfonics-lead-singer-william-poogie-hart-dead-77/10115753002/ |
Chipotle permanently shutters store that filed to unionize
Related video above: Chipotle testing tortilla chip-making robots in kitchen to address labor shortage
Chipotle permanently closed a restaurant in Augusta, Maine that filed to form a union last month.
"We have been unable to adequately staff this remote restaurant with crew and continue to be plagued with excessive call-outs and lack of availability from existing staff," Laurie Schalow, chief corporate affairs officer at Chipotle, said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it's been even harder to find managers to lead the restaurant.
"Because of these ongoing staffing challenges, there is no probability of reopening in the foreseeable future, so we've made the decision to permanently close the restaurant," she said.
The restaurant had been closed to the public since June 17, Schalow noted, and was open only for staff trainings. Workers at the location will get severance pay, she said.
The closure has raised alarm bells among union organizers, who accused the chain of trying to stifle workers.
A hearing on whether to proceed with the representation vote was scheduled for Tuesday, according to Jeffrey Young, attorney for Chipotle United, the independent union attempting to organize the Augusta location, but workers learned on Tuesday morning that the store will be shut down for good. The hearing has been postponed indefinitely, Young said.
Young described the closure as "union busting 101," adding "it's meant to discourage not just the workers here, but ... other Chipotle organizing efforts elsewhere."
Workers at a Chipotle in Lansing, Michigan also have filed for a vote, and there are similar efforts underway in Flushing, Queens as well as several other "nascent" efforts, Young said. The closure "sends a message — if you try to organize, we'll close your store," he said.
Brandi McNease, who was employed at the Augusta location and has been leading the unionization efforts, said "we're not done" trying to unionize. "We really want to ... tell Chipotle that this isn't going to stand," she said. In June, a letter signed by 10 Augusta employees charged that understaffing and unsafe equipment potentially put the crew and customers at risk, the Kennebec Journal reported at the time.
Chipotle's Schalow said the Augusta store closure had "nothing to do with union activity," and said that the company reviewed the location as it would any other location that had staffing challenges. "Chipotle respects our employees' rights to organize," she said.
The battle comes at a time when a growing number of Starbucks workers have formed unions. Organizers there have also accused the chain of trying to intimidate workers by shuttering locations.
Video above: Starbucks to close 16 stores over safety concerns
In June, Starbucks workers at an Ithaca, New York, store claimed their location was being shut down in retaliation for their union activism. The worker committee said at the time that it was filing an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the NLRB, alleging that Starbucks was making a "clear attempt to scare workers across the country." A company spokesperson said at the time that Starbucks opens and closes stores as part of its regular operations, without offering specific reasons.
"Our goal is to ensure that every partner is supported in their individual situation and we have immediate opportunities available in the market," the Starbucks spokesperson said in June. Starbucks has also closed a number of stores over safety concerns and will likely continue to do so. Labor organizers have questioned whether these moves were being made in good faith.

CROWN POINT — A Lake Criminal Court jury deliberated for about three hours Friday before convicting a man on all counts in connection with a stabbing in 2017 that nearly killed his girlfriend and resulted in the death of their baby.
Austin A. Mendez, 28, was found guilty of two counts of murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery.
He could face 45 to 65 years in prison for murder and 20 to 40 years in prison for attempted murder when Judge Samuel Cappas sentences him.
Mendez met up with Latricia Lacey, who was seven months pregnant, Aug. 6, 2017, in Gary to give her money for their daughter, Lake County Deputy Prosecutor Infiniti Westberg said.
Before her death in 2021 from a drug overdose, Lacey told investigators Mendez propositioned her for sex and she refused, so he pushed her into an abandoned building and attacked her.

She was able to break away from him and run.
"She tells you: 'I was running, running, running and I passed out in a front yard,'" Westberg said, reminding the jury of a statement of Lacey's that was read into the record during Mendez's weeklong trial.
Defense attorney Scott King told the jury the state had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the person who attacked Lacey knew she was pregnant.
Westberg said everyone who saw Lacey after she was found facedown in the 700 block of Taney Street, moaning and crying for help, recognized she was pregnant.
During a 911 call, Lacey could be heard telling those who came to her aid that her baby's father, Austin Mendez, caused her injuries.
When Lacey awoke from a coma after doctors saved her life, she asked for paper and wrote "A" for "Austin" and "5" for Fifth Avenue, Westberg said.
King told the jury there was reasonable doubt about who hurt Lacey because a 911 caller told dispatchers Lacey said she'd been thrown from a vehicle.
Lacey never told anyone she had been stabbed, and Mendez was excluded as a contributor of male DNA found on her coat, he said.
Westberg said the DNA evidence meant nothing.
DNA can get on clothing simply by brushing up against someone, and there was no way to know when the DNA got on Lacey's coat, she said.
King questioned Lacey's credibility, pointing out that her medical records showed a history of mental health issues. She also admitted she was high at the time of the attack.
Westberg said Lacey's use of marijuana and cocaine wasn't good, but it didn't kill her baby.
Lacey "coded" for six to eight minutes while she was being treated for stab wounds to her armpit, chest, buttocks and leg. Her heart stopped, and she wasn't breathing.
Mendez stabbed her with so much force, the knife broke off in her leg, the deputy prosecutor said.
Doctors saved Lacey's life, but her son Isaiah Lacey was born brain dead Aug. 11, 2017. He died Aug. 28, 2017, after Lacey and her family decided to take him off life support.
Doctors testified Isaiah likely would have been born healthy if his mother had not been so badly wounded.
Westberg said Lacey had no reason to lie about who attacked her.
She was so disoriented when she was found lying in a yard, she still had the money Mendez gave her in her hand, the deputy prosecutor said.
One of the men in the 911 call could be heard telling her he was going to put the money in her pocket so she didn't lose it.
King questioned Lacey's description of a man in purple pants before and after she passed out, but Westberg said he was just someone from the neighborhood.
"Purple pants says, 'Your baby daddy did this to you?'" she said. "He was shocked. He says, 'I just saw you with him.'"
Westberg told the jurors it would be unreasonable to think "some stranger in the night" came for Lacey.
When one of the men who found Lacey asked if her child's father was a "white dude," she corrected him by saying, "He's Mexican," Westberg said.
Mendez fled the crime scene and never attempted to contact Lacey or attend his child's funeral, she said.
"He didn't care about her," Westberg said. "He didn't care about that baby."

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is laying out its plan to meet an ambitious goal of ending hunger in the U.S. by 2030, including expanding monthly benefits that help low-income Americans buy food.
“The consequences of food insecurity and diet-related diseases are significant, far reaching, and disproportionately impact historically underserved communities,” Biden wrote in a memo outlining the White House strategy. “Yet, food insecurity and diet-related diseases are largely preventable, if we prioritize the health of the nation.”
Biden is hosting a conference this week on hunger, nutrition and health, the first by the White House since 1969. That conference, under President Richard Nixon, was a pivotal moment that influenced the U.S. food policy agenda for 50 years. It led to a greatly expanded food stamps program and gave rise to the Women, Infants and Children program, which serves half the babies born in the U.S. by providing women with parenting advice, breastfeeding support and food assistance.
Over the years, cuts to federal programs coupled with stigmas over welfare and big changes to how food and farming systems are run have prompted declines in access to food.
Biden, a Democrat, is hoping this week’s conference is similarly transformative. But the goal of Nixon, a Republican, also was “to put an end to hunger in America for all time.”
And yet 10% of U.S. households in 2021 suffered food insecurity, meaning they were uncertain they could get enough food to feed themselves or their families because they lacked money or resources for food, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
To succeed, Biden needs buy-in from the private sector and an increasingly partisan Congress. Some of the goals sound reminiscent of former first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative to tackle childhood obesity and promote healthy eating. The conference also will highlight the need for access to better, healthier food and exercise.
Biden said in his memo that over the past 50 years, “we have learned so much more about nutrition and the role that healthy eating plays in how our kids perform in the classroom and about nutrition and its linkages to disease prevention.”
Under to the White House plan, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program eligibility would be expanded, children would get better access to free meals, and summer benefits would be extended to more schoolkids. Such changes would require congressional approval.
The other tenets of the strategy include the development of new food packaging to truth-check the “healthy” claims for some products, expanding SNAP incentives to select fruits and vegetables, providing more programs to encourage people to get outside and move, and boosting funding for research. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bidens-strategy-to-end-hunger-in-us-includes-more-benefits/2022/09/27/21c92f00-3e45-11ed-8c6e-9386bd7cd826_story.html | 2022-09-27 10:53:57 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bidens-strategy-to-end-hunger-in-us-includes-more-benefits/2022/09/27/21c92f00-3e45-11ed-8c6e-9386bd7cd826_story.html |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) – Proposed changes to a Florida transportation bill appear to target Walt Disney World’s monorail system. On Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Fiscal Policy will take up SB-1250, a general transportation bill that, if passed, would allow the Florida Department of Transportation to cover the cost of certain projects in rural areas and would allow law enforcement agencies to install automated license plate readers on state highways, as well as addressing some local transportation issues.
A proposed amendment to the bill includes a line with specific language that appears to target the Walt Disney World monorail system. This comes amid Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ongoing feud with Disney regarding its special taxing district established by the legislature in 1967, the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID).
DeSantis’ problems with Disney can be traced to the company’s opposition to Florida’s HB-1577, which critics have called the “Don’t Say Gay” law. In response, DeSantis signed a bill earlier this year ousting the current RCID board and replacing it with DeSantis appointees. The district’s name was also changed to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
Disney, however, had pre-emptively worked to undermined the changes, quietly removing power from the new board and placing it back in Disney’s hands for the next three decades.
The committee-proposed amendment of SB-1250 would require DOT oversight of the monorail and other fixed-guideway transportation systems “located within an independent special district created by local act which have boundaries within two contiguous counties.” It would also give the state the authority to shut down the systems during inspection “to ensure safety and welfare of inspectors and the traveling public.”
The district covering Walt Disney World includes land in Orange and Osceola counties. The recently-constructed Disney Skyliner gondolas also appear to meet the DOT definition of a fixed guideway transportation system.
The bill does not specifically mention Disney or its transit systems, but Gov. DeSantis indicated the legislature would impose state guidelines and inspections over the monorail during a news conference at the Reedy Creek Administration Building last week.
“They exempted the monorail from any safety standards or inspections so they’re gonna go and make sure that the monorail is subject to oversight just like everything else would be in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said.
The governor has also called for state oversight of Walt Disney World rides, stating a proposed bill would eliminate the safety inspection exemption that covers large theme parks like Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens, but only for those operating within special districts.
The Walt Disney World monorail system opened in 1971 and services millions of riders each year, according to Disney. The cars have undergone cosmetic updates and refurbishments in recent years, but have not been fully replaced since 1989. The system received upgrades to safeguards and operating procedures following a crash that killed a 21-year-old operator in 2009. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/changes-to-florida-transportation-bill-could-target-disneys-monorail-system/ | 2023-04-25 19:42:33 | 1 | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/changes-to-florida-transportation-bill-could-target-disneys-monorail-system/ |
BOGATA, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) informs that to comply with the provisions of Part III Title I Chapter VI of the Basic Legal Circular issued by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia (E.C. 029 of 2014), the Board of Directors of Ecopetrol S.A. ("Ecopetrol" or the "Company") approved the implementation of the measures described below which are aimed at guaranteeing the adequate representation of shareholders at the Ordinary General Shareholder's Meeting to be held on March 30, 2023:
The Board instructed the Company's management to:
- Inform shareholders of their right to be represented through the appointment of a proxy and indicate the legal requirements of the proxies to be granted for such purpose.
- Appoint those who will validate the shareholders' proxy assignments, advising that those proxies that fail to meet the minimum requirements established by law will not be admitted as valid, and no proxy form will be accepted where the name of the respective appointed representative is not clearly defined.
- Abstain from recommending or influencing the name of the shareholders' attorneys-in-fact or their proxy selection process.
- Inform all Company employees that they may not suggest to shareholders to vote for a specific candidate list.
- Abstain from suggesting, coordinating or agreeing with the shareholders on: (i) the presentation of proposals at the Meeting and/or (ii) the vote for or against any proposal to be presented at the Meeting.
- Verify and implement procedures such that no proxies are granted to persons directly or indirectly related to the Company's management or employees.
- The Legal Vice-Presidency shall be the area responsible for reviewing proxies.
- The Vice President of Legal Affairs and General Secretary of Ecopetrol S.A. shall be responsible for ensuring the implementation and compliance with the above measures.
The above measures were adopted by the members of the Board of Directors of Ecopetrol S.A. in a meeting held on February 24, 2023 and are reported prior to the holding of the respective General Shareholders' Meeting.
Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 18,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA's shares, the company participates in energy transmission, the management of real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in the United States (Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico), Brazil, and Mexico, and, through ISA and its subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds leading positions in the power transmission business in Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in Chile, and the telecommunications sector. This press release contains business prospect statements, operating and financial result estimates, and statements related to Ecopetrol's growth prospects.

EDEN — An Eden man has been charged with intentionally abusing an infant who was found to have the powerful opiate fentanyl in its system when treated Feb. 22 at UNC Rockingham Health Center here, according to local authorities.
After treating the baby that had been brought in for emergency care, hospital officials alerted Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office investigators to the infant’s health status, a sheriff’s office spokesman said in a news release.
Subsequently, authorities arrested Caleb Jordan Richards, 24, of 1137 Harrison Crossroads Loop in Reidsville and charged him with intentional child abuse inflicting serious physical injury, a felony.
The child, who was not identified by the sheriff’s office, is expected to recover.
No information about Richards’ relationship to the infant was immediately available. And it was not clear who brought the infant to the hospital for treatment in February.

ATLANTA, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of Americans are driving cars that have recalls, a staggering thought considering safety is at play. However, many drivers do not fully understand how the recall process works, or mistakenly believe that bringing in a vehicle for recall repair means they will have to come out of pocket for the expenses. In honor of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 2023 Vehicle Safety Recalls Week (March 6 – 12, 2023) and to help inform vehicle owners about the details of safety recalls and what to do if their vehicle is affected, the experts at Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive company, created Recalls 101: What You Need to Know to Stay Safe.
"Vehicle recalls were not on the radar of the average driver until the headline-making massive airbag recalls affected millions of cars in recent years – and even now that people are more familiar with the term, many car owners still do not know what to do or how to find out if a recall affects them," said Brian Moody, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book. "Drivers need to understand that a recall usually will not cost you a dime to repair. Any defect affecting a vehicle's safety can trigger a recall, and car manufacturers must fix defects from recalls for free if the vehicle is less than 16 years old. Car owners should proactively check to see if their vehicle has an open recall and prioritize getting it promptly fixed, for their own safety and the safety of others on the road."
According to NHTSA, there were more than 1,000 safety recalls affecting more than 34 million vehicles and other equipment in the United States in 2021. NHTSA recommends the Spring Daylight Savings Time – which falls on March 12 this year – is the perfect time of year to remember to check if your vehicle has recalls. NHTSA encourages drivers to add "check for safety recalls" to that vital springtime to-do list, which may also include things like checking smoke detector batteries.
Kelley Blue Book's Service Advisor features a free and easy tool for car owners to check to see if their vehicle has an open recall, with the ability to search by vehicle identification number (VIN), make/model or license plate number by visiting https://www.kbb.com/recall/. Beyond checking for vehicle recalls, car owners also can connect with local dealerships to fix the recall for free and get future recall alerts via Kelley Blue Book's recalls page.
Kelley Blue Book's Car Recalls 101: What Vehicle Owners Need to Know to Stay Safe
A car recall results from the car manufacturer or the federal government (through NHTSA) determining a vehicle doesn't meet minimum safety standards.
- The defect in question could affect nearly any part, component or system that, if not addressed, reduces the safety of a car.
- It is the responsibility of the carmaker to notify owners of a recall and to make needed fixes; however, taking action to remedy the recall issue falls on the owner.
Recalls for my car: What do I do?
- Recall notices originate from the car manufacturer and tell you exactly what you should (and shouldn't) do. By law, your recall notice should arrive within 60 days of the carmaker filing the recall with NHTSA.
- Upon receiving a recall notice (or hearing about one), visit https://www.kbb.com/recall/ and enter your VIN to check and see if your particular vehicle is affected.
- The dealership is required by law to complete the repairs in a timely manner; however, know that in the case of a major recall, the availability of parts may dictate the schedule.
- However, drivers need to understand that covering any expense/service beyond the recall repair is left to the discretion of the car dealer. For instance, recalls don't mandate free loaner cars or transportation from the dealership to your job, so inquire with the dealer to see if they provide these extras as part of their normal service routine.
- If the recall involves more dangerous issues that make driving the car unsafe, the recall notification will include a "Do Not Drive" notice.
What about used car recalls?
- If you bought your car used, you should be even more proactive in keeping track of recalls.
- However, if your vehicle registration doesn't reflect your current address (for example, if you recently moved), the manufacturer may not be able to find you.
- To ensure you are aware of any recall notices applying to your vehicle, do a VIN check at kbb.com/recall at least twice a year.
There currently are a number of electric vehicle (EV) recalls.
- EVs have generated more than their fair share of attention where recalls are concerned, considering there are far fewer of them on roads today compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
- Many experts attribute EVs' higher-than-normal rate of recalls to all of the new technology they feature.

ATLANTA — Georgia voters have cast more than 1 million ballots ahead of the Dec. 6 U.S. Senate runoff between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker, with Warnock looking to juice an apparent Democratic head start in early voting with a visit Thursday from Barack Obama.
The former president will campaign with Warnock on the eve of the final day of early voting. The rally, which promises to be the largest event of Warnock’s four-week runoff blitz, underscores the two parties’ different approaches to early voting in the final contest of the 2022 election.
Democrats have employed an all-hands-on-deck push to bank as many votes as possible while Republicans, especially Walker, have taken a less aggressive approach that could leave the GOP nominee heavily dependent on runoff Election Day turnout.
“I think the turnout we’re seeing is good, and I want to encourage people to stick with it,” Warnock said as he campaigned this week, comparing voting to waiting in line at a popular Atlanta lunch spot. “The other day I went to the Slutty Vegan, and the line was wrapped around the block, and folks still waited and got their sandwiches,” he said. “I went and voted yesterday, and it was pretty painless.”
Walker, meanwhile, is expected to vote on the runoff’s Election Day, as he did in November for the midterms.
Warnock led Walker by about 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast in the general election but fell short of the majority required under Georgia law. That triggered a four-week runoff blitz, with a shorter early voting window than occurred during the first round.
Statewide early voting data, including some weekend and Thanksgiving weekdays in certain counties, shows higher overall turnout in the most heavily Democratic counties and congressional districts. Still, both parties are finding data to tout as they jockey for any advantage in the final contest of the 2022 midterm election cycle, and both campaigns agree generally that Warnock will lead among early voters, as he did in the first round, while Walker will have the advantage in Election Day ballots, as he did in November. The respective margins will determine the eventual winner.
TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, analyzed the identities of the 830,000-plus voters who’d cast ballots by the end of Tuesday and concluded that Democrats have increased their advantage by 14 percentage points over what it was with six days to go before the Nov. 8 election. That analysis did not include the 240,000-plus additional ballots cast Wednesday.
Walker’s campaign manager, Scott Paradise, pushed back on notions of Democrats’ domination. He argued that their advantage comes only because it was heavily Democratic metro-area counties that held weekend early voting, while more Republican areas waited until the statewide mandatory early voting window that began Monday. Republicans had sued, unsuccessfully, in state court trying to block Saturday early voting for the runoff.
Paradise said a Walker campaign analysis found that nine of the 10 counties with the highest turnout Monday were counties Walker won in November with a combined 70% of the vote. He added that of the state’s most populous counties -- those with more than 100,000 registered voters -- it was two Republican strongholds, Hall and Forsyth, that posted the highest turnout percentages Monday. Paradise said those trends reflect high enthusiasm among Republicans.
Still, Republicans have catching up to do.
According to state voting data compiled by Ryan Anderson, an independent analyst in Atlanta, four of the state’s five Democratic-held congressional districts had already seen advance turnout through Tuesday of at least 43% of the total early vote for the November election, when every Georgia county had at least 17 days of early in-person voting. Just one of Georgia’s nine Republican-held congressional districts had eclipsed that 43% mark.
Breaking News Alerts
Warnock first won the seat as part of concurrent Senate runoffs on Jan. 5, 2021, when he and Jon Ossoff prevailed over Republican incumbents to give Democrats narrow control of the Senate for the start of President Joe Biden’s tenure. Warnock won a special election and now is seeking a full six-year term.
This time, Senate control is not in play: Democrats have already secured 50 seats and have Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote. That puts pressure on both Warnock’s and Walker’s campaigns to convince Georgia voters that it’s worth their time to cast a second ballot, even if the national stakes aren’t as high.
Warnock got about 70% of his overall first-round votes from advance voting; for Walker, it was about 58%. That translated to an advantage of more than 256,000 votes for Warnock. Walker answered with an Election Day advantage of more than 200,000.
The senator’s campaign, Democratic Party committees and aligned political action committees have tailored their voter turnout efforts toward early voting. Republicans have countered with their own wide-ranging push, including a direct-mail push from one super political action committee featuring Gov. Brian Kemp, who got 200,000 more votes than Walker to win a second term comfortably.
Yet Republicans are battling some internal party narratives, including from former President Donald Trump, that question some advance voting, especially mail-in ballots, pushing some Republicans toward an Election Day ballot. As recently as Tuesday, Trump declared on social media that “YOU CAN NEVER HAVE FAIR & FREE ELECTIONS WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS - NEVER, NEVER NEVER. WON’T AND CAN’T HAPPEN!!!”
Walker himself does not mention early in-person voting or mail-in ballots at all as he urges his supporters to vote.
Democrats, meanwhile, see Obama as a key figure in repeating Warnock’s advance voting lead, because the former president remains intensely popular among core Democrats and has a solid standing among independents. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-obama-georgia-election-20221201-v2yq7sj5ozhwvp5avdkco65hbu-story.html | 2022-12-01 16:26:14 | 1 | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-obama-georgia-election-20221201-v2yq7sj5ozhwvp5avdkco65hbu-story.html |

National Geographic reveals its top destinations for 2023
By Marnie Hunter, CNN
It’s never too early to start planning for next year’s big trips.
National Geographic is getting an early start, too, releasing its Best of the World list in late October with 25 must-see destinations for 2023.
Respect — for the people and their cultures, for the land and its conservation — is an overarching theme of the list, which is divided into five official categories.
The hope is that 2023 will be not just a big return to travel but also to rediscovering wonder, said Amy Alipio, senior editor for National Geographic Travel.
“Because when you are awed by something, you treat it with respect. And that spirit is something we want to encourage with this list,” Alipio said.
The list focuses on destinations that have community-led conservation efforts, healing and heritage journeys and ways for travelers to give back as well as places that are doing important work in ecotourism, sustainability and inclusive travel.
Looking at community
National Geographic has introduced a new category in this year’s list, replacing “sustainability” with a broader “community” category.
“It’s about broadening the focus on the people striving for sustainable destinations and the various ways that manifests, from making travel more accessible to supporting local businesses,” Alipio said.
Sustainability has been woven into every category a bit more. The other four categories are nature, culture, adventure and family.
The five destinations listed under the “community” heading represent a diverse range of strengths.
Ghana is listed as an important destination for Black heritage travelers in West Africa.
Alberta, Canada also makes the list.
“They have been a leader in Indigenous tourism, basically getting travelers out there learning the stories and the ways of life of the First Nations here in North America,” and their vibrant, contemporary cultures, Alipio said.
In Laos, a new high-speed train is making the country more accessible to visitors and bringing economic opportunity to locals.
The Great Lakes city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is listed in part because it has been “really supportive of its creative community,” Alipio said, citing Bronzeville, which is opening a cultural center focused on African American art.
And in Greece’s Dodecanese Islands, Karpathos is a standout for sustainable tourism with female leadership.
Big openings, small crowds
The list is not without big new attractions. The long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum outside of Cairo figures into Egypt’s appearance on the 2023 list in the “culture” category. And Charleston, South Carolina, will soon be home to the International African American Museum, which is set to open in January.
US wilderness features on the list in two categories, with an emphasis on getting away from the crowds.
Utah, where five national parks are a huge draw, appears in the “adventure” category in part for its efforts to direct tourists to some of its lesser-known areas to combat overtourism.
Visit Utah has a page dedicated to responsible travel where it asks visitors to consider their impact with questions including “Am I doing what I can to avoid crowded locations?” State parks including Dead Horse Point and Goblin Valley are located near one or more of Utah’s five spectacular national parks.
Big Bend National Park in Texas appears in the “nature” category. While Big Bend hosted a record 581,000 recreational visits in 2021, it was still far less visited than some of the United States’ most popular national parks. Yellowstone welcomed 4.9 million visitors and Great Smoky Mountains National Park hosted a whopping 14.1 million recreational visits in 2021.
Slovenia, “a longtime leader in sustainable tourism,” is pairing cycling trails with visits to vineyards, cheesemakers and other food producers in a way that earns it a slot in the “nature” category with a culinary bonus.
The Scottish Highlands, Portugal’s dazzling Azores volcanic archipelago and Botswana also make the “nature” list for their efforts toward conservation and sustainability.
Family, adventure and culture
Colombia has been in the spotlight with the Disney movie “Encanto,” making it a timely choice for the “family” category. In California, San Francisco’s Crosstown Trail is another spot perfect for family adventure.
Speaking of “adventure,” that category also includes Choquequirao, Peru, an Inca site to rival Machu Picchu that is becoming more accessible and spurring economic development.
And New Zealand, long an adventure capital, makes the list as excitement builds with travel’s resurgence.
The Austrian Alps also provide great opportunities for adventure within the Bergsteigerdörfer network of 29 mountaineering villages.
Asia, which has been slower to reopen from the pandemic, features prominently in the “culture” category. Busan, South Korea, appears in the category for offerings from craft brews to Asia’s top film festival.
While China remains closed to international tourism, its Longmen Grottoes in Henan Province also make the “culture” list as new technology brings attention to the largest collection of stone statues in the world.

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM) (TSX-V: ELBM) ("Electra") today announced the filing of its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided an update on the commissioning of its cobalt refinery located north of Toronto. All amounts are in Canadian currency unless stated.
"We made considerable progress on our battery materials refinery project in Q2, completing 80 per cent of testing of existing brownfield equipment for recommissioning, 80 per cent of all procurement, and 85 per cent of detailed engineering," said Trent Mell, CEO of Electra Battery Materials. "But consistent with the realities facing companies who are constructing projects around the world today, we experienced the dual impacts of inflationary price pressures and supply chain disruptions firsthand during the second quarter.
"Most notably, delivery of critical equipment for our refinery project was impacted by quality control issues experienced by a major supplier that will result in completing the commissioning project in the spring of 2023. Equally significant, rising prices for input costs, such as steel, copper, piping, and contract labour rates, that were unanticipated when we first developed our capital budget, will increase project capital costs from our previous estimate of US$67 million to US$76 to $80 million.
"The extended project timeline will not, however, impact our plans to proceed with our battery recycling demonstration plant in Q3 or evaluate assay results from our Ruby drill program to assess potential new exploration initiatives in the Idaho Cobalt Belt."
Mr. Mell concluded, "The pace of EV supply chain investments in North America has resulted in strong interest in Electra's cobalt, nickel and recycling business plans. We have several advanced discussions underway, including with two customers who have signed non-binding MOUs. Additional details on the progress of these developments will be disclosed in due course."
- Held cash of $41.8 million as at June 30, 2022, down from $51.9 million as at March 31, 2022. Electra's cash balance at the end of Q2 does not include the remaining $6.5 million of government investments expected to be received or $17.5 million of available funding from the Company's At-the-Market (ATM) program.
- Total incurred costs for the refinery construction project at quarter end were $30.1 million.
- Net income for the period was $7.5 million or $0.23 per basic share. The totals were driven by a gain of $12.7 million on the fair value of the embedded derivative liability portion of the convertible debt.
- Commenced trading on Nasdaq Capital Market effective April 27, 2022 under the ticker symbol "ELBM" and consolidated its outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidated share for every 18 pre-consolidated shares.
- Announced preliminary discussions with the Government of Quebec to construct a new cobalt sulfate refinery in Bécancour, Quebec that will integrate with an emerging battery materials park in the province. In support of the effort, Electra will develop a pre-feasibility study to identify project costs, timelines, potential synergies from integration with other battery materials companies in the process as well as potential funding from federal and provincial governments.
- Strengthened the management team with the appointment of Renata Cardoso as Vice President Sustainability and Low Carbon, Craig Cunningham as Chief Financial Officer, Dave Marshall as Vice President, Engineering, and Joe Racanelli as Vice President, Investor Relations. The additions bring collectively 100 years of relevant sector experience and subject matter expertise to Electra.
- Underscored its commitment to ESG with launch of policy and frameworks relating to ethical sourcing, human rights, and sustainability.
- Signed two memorandums of understanding for off-take cobalt sulfate supply agreements pending the signing of definitive agreements.
- Signed a benefits agreement with the Métis Nation of Ontario that will provide employment, training, procurement, and business opportunities related to the construction and expansion of Electra's battery materials refinery north of Toronto.
- Exploration program at the Ruby prospect to date suggests that Ruby could be a new mineralized cobalt and copper target located in close proximity to Electra's Iron Creek cobalt-copper deposit in Idaho. Assay results are expected in Q3 2022.
For complete details of the consolidated financial statements and the associated management's discussion and analysis, please refer to the Company's filing on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or the Company's website (www.ElectraBMC.com).

MIDLAND, Texas — West Texas has its fair share of cold cases.
"A cold case is a case where the leads have dried up," Midland Police Detective Jennie Alonzo said. "We don't really know which direction to go into the case."
Something Detective Alonzo knows all too well.
"I'm coming up on seven years of being in the Crimes Against Persons Unit," Alonzo said.
One of her cases has been cold for nearly 30 years, and it happened on a regular summer morning in a Midland neighborhood like any other.
Routines, even little ones, are woven into our everyday lives: you wake up, brush your teeth, get your morning coffee, go to work.
41-year-old Carolyn Kolas was no exception.
"I believe Miss Colas had a pattern and she would go out walking every morning," Alonzo said.
Kolas had lost over 100 pounds by walking her neighborhood.
“Walking is something she always did, and she walked to live,” her sister-in-law Kathy Kolas told the Abilene Reporter-News.
"Maybe someone learned her pattern and they victimized her for her pattern," Alonzo continued.
"On May 27, 1995 at about 7:45 in the morning," Alonzo said. "Midland Police Department officers were dispatched to the north alley of the 3200 block of West Ohio here in Midland, Texas. And that is where they found Miss Carolyn Kolas, who was deceased and had been stabbed several times."
Midland Police Chief at the time Richard Czech called the murder horrendous.
Throat slashed, stabbed and left partially nude; Carolyn was killed on this summer morning in 1995.
Keyword: morning. A murder in broad daylight means there were suspects… right?
"They looked into several different suspects in reference to who may have done this," Alonzo said. "But there was never enough to charge anyone."
And so the case of Carolyn Kolas, the bright woman with her whole life ahead of her, went cold.
After 30 years, is it even possible to solve the case?
With technological advances, police investigators are staying hopeful.
"I believe with DNA, there's a possibility this case will be solved with DNA," Alonzo said. "Or tips. Anyone from the public coming forward and giving us any information in reference to who may have done this."
"Anyone with any tips or information in reference to the case if they could please contact [Midland] Crime Stoppers."
Midland Crime Stoppers' number is (432) 694-TIPS.
Maybe you can help Detective Alonzo solve the puzzling murder of Carolyn Kolas. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/crime/carolyn-kolas-cold-case/513-5ae6e0b4-359c-4b82-9cf0-4c00edf20f9a | 2023-02-28 21:11:57 | 1 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/crime/carolyn-kolas-cold-case/513-5ae6e0b4-359c-4b82-9cf0-4c00edf20f9a |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freshman Amari Bailey scored a career-best 19 points, Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 17 points and eight rebounds and No. 19 UCLA rebounded from a rough weekend in Las Vegas to beat Pepperdine 100-53 on Wednesday night.
David Singleton scored 13 points and Jalen Clark had 12 for the Bruins (4-2). They returned to play after losing ranked teams in Illinois and Baylor at the Continental Tire Main Event.
Houston Mallette and Jan Zidek each scored 13 points for the Waves (4-2), who saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Mallette did not score in the second half. Zidek’s father, George, played on UCLA’s 1995 national championship team.
Pepperdine had an early lead at 14-12 with 13:22 remaining in the first half after Mallette two 3-pointers. But the Bruins came to life with a 19-2 run to take a 31-16 lead with 6:35 remaining before the break.
THE TAKEAWAY
Pepperdine: Mallette went 3 of 8 from 3-point range and has made a shot from behind the arc in 32 consecutive games to match a Waves record set by Terrance Johnson in 2004. Pepperdine entered fifth in the nation at 45.8% from 3-point range and went 7 of 31 (22.6%) against the Bruins.
UCLA: The Bruins have just one more nonconference game remaining, at home Sunday against Bellarmine, before their first dip into Pac-12 play Dec. 1 at Stanford and Dec. 4 at home against Oregon. Four more nonconference games remain, including visits to Maryland, and New York to face Kentucky, before getting into the heart of conference play Dec. 30 at Washington State.
UP NEXT
Pepperdine: At Grand Canyon on Saturday.
UCLA: Home against Bellarmine on Monday.

Three first-time authors recently read from their new collection of short stories at Wellesley Books in Massachusetts. Despite pouring rain, the event filled nearly every seat. In most ways, it was an event like many held at the independent bookshop. But there were exceptions, like holding the event on the main floor so the authors and audience wouldn’t have to deal with the stairs. And the fact that the new-minted authors are all octogenarians.
Here & Now‘s Karyn Miller-Medzon attended the reading and sat down to talk to Judy Blatt, 86, Besty Campbell, 85, and Maxine Weintraub, 87, about their accomplishment and about the book, “Gotta Wait? Gotta, Read.”

LIV Golf's latest bid to get world ranking points is by aligning itself with a little-known tour that offers $75,000 purses and has not held a tournament since early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MENA Tour — Middle East and North Africa — announced Wednesday a strategic alliance that will result in MENA sanctioning LIV Golf Invitational events and making them part of its tour.
The MENA Tour said it would submit the 48-man field from the LIV Golf Invitational-Thailand to the OWGR this week before the 54-hole event starts on Friday. It said all LIV Golf players, such as Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, have joined the MENA Tour.
“This is a very exciting day for the MENA Tour and our players,” Commissioner David Spencer said in a news release on the circuit's website. "Through this alliance, our players will now have enhanced playing opportunities and stronger pathways. This is great news for the future of many young players on our tour.”
LIV Golf and its leader, Greg Norman, have been desperate to get world ranking points for its inaugural season of seven tournaments, which began in early June.
Norman filed an application with the Official World Golf Ranking board in early July. Even without some hurdles to overcome, it typically takes at least a year for the OWGR to approve a new tour joining its system.
Among the deficiencies are OWGR guidelines that every tournament be at least 54 holes with a 36-hole cut. LIV Golf has no cut. Guidelines also state that tournaments must average a 75-man field over the course of the season. LIV Golf has 48-man fields.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle is a requirement that a new tour comply with the guidelines for at least one year before it gets admitted.
LIV Golf sent a letter to the OWGR last month, signed by all the players, asking that world ranking points be retroactive. The letter cites the OWGR’s mission to administer and publish each week “a transparent, credible, and accurate Ranking based on the relative performances of players.”
“How can such a system possibly exclude players competing at such high levels against some of the strongest fields of the year for large purses, at such high-profile events?” the letter said.
It was not immediately clear what would happen to LIV Golf's application with the OWGR because of its new alliance with the MENA Tour.
LIV Golf is playing in Bangkok this week and Saudi Arabia next week, which wraps up its individual events. Johnson leads the money list at just over $9.5 million in individual earnings from five events.
“We are taking this mutually beneficial action to support the game at the developmental level and because of the importance and fairness of LIV golfers qualifying for OWGR points,” said Atul Khosla, president and chief operating officer of LIV Golf. “We’re pleased to create pathways that give more opportunities for young players, while also giving fans rankings that include all the world’s best golfers.”
The MENA Tour began in 2011 and has 54-hole events, typical of developmental tours. The OWGR recognized it in 2016. The MENA Tour originally had a deal in which the top five players advanced to the Sunshine Tour in South Africa. It now is aligned with the Asian Developmental Tour, though it has yet to emerge from a pandemic-caused shutdown.
The last MENA Tour event ended on March 4, 2020 — Journey to Jordan 2 — in Aqaba, Jordan. Ryan Lumsden of Scotland won by one shot and earned $13,500.
The winner from LIV Golf Invitational-Thailand gets $4 million.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is taking the next official step toward a bid for president in 2024.
In a video released Wednesday morning, Scott announced he was forming an exploratory committee, which moves him closer to a formal campaign for the White House. He leaned into his biography as a Black man who overcame poverty to argue that Democrats are too liberal and have needlessly divided the country by fostering a "culture of grievance."
“All too often when they get called out for their failures, they weaponize race to divide us, to hold onto their power,” he said. “When I fought back against their liberal agenda, they called me a prop. A token. Because I disrupt their narrative. I threaten their control."

I will never back down in defense of the conservative values that make America exceptional.
— Tim Scott (@votetimscott) April 12, 2023
That's why I'm announcing my exploratory committee for President of the United States.
This fight is personal.
I want every American to have the same opportunities I had. pic.twitter.com/HV56pbyKdB
If he enters the field, Scott will join another South Carolinian, former Gov. Nikki Haley, as well as former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and “anti-woke” biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Others, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence, are considering launching campaigns in the coming months.
Scott, the only Black Republican senator, would be the nation’s first Black Republican president if elected.
For months, Scott has been developing the infrastructure to accompany a bid for the White House, building out his political action committee and visiting early voting states. On Wednesday, he’s traveling to Iowa, the state that will kick off the Republican nomination contest early next year. He’ll also swing through the early voting state of New Hampshire this week before heading back to South Carolina for “breakfast, policy discussions, and political update” with donors.
Those donors could become key to an exploratory committee, which gives Scott the ability to raise money directly for a possible bid, cash that can fund polling and travel.

Scott has already shown the ability to attract significant money. Opportunity Matters Fund, a pro-Scott super political action committee, spent more than $20 million to help Republicans in 2022, reporting $13 million-plus on hand to start 2023. Tech billionaire Larry Ellison has donated at least $30 million to the organization since 2021, according to federal filings.
He has signaled how he might distinguish himself from the others in the race by leaning into a more hopeful message than the grievance-based politics advocated by others.
During a February visit to Iowa, which holds the first GOP presidential caucuses, Scott spoke of a “new American sunrise” rooted in collaboration.
“I see a future where common sense has rebuilt common ground, where we’ve created real unity, not by compromising away our conservatism, but by winning converts to our conservatism,” he said. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/04/12/nation/tim-scott-unveils-2024-white-house-exploratory-committee/ | 2023-04-12 13:26:29 | 0 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/04/12/nation/tim-scott-unveils-2024-white-house-exploratory-committee/ |
Allen’s 3 TDs spark Wisconsin in 66-7 rout of New Mexico St.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Braelon Allen rushed for three touchdowns to help lead Wisconsin to a 66-7 victory against New Mexico State Saturday.
The three-TD performance for Allen matched a career high. The sophomore running back finished with 15 carries for 86 yards and three scores for the Badgers (2-1), who rebounded from a 17-14 loss last week to Washington State.
Allen broke away for a 39-yard rush for a score to give Wisconsin a 7-0 lead just 90 seconds into the game.
Allen’s effort marked just the third time in his last 12 games that he’s been held under 100 yards.
Chez Mellusi had a 2-yard touchdown run to cap a seven-play, 63-yard yard drive that pushed Wisconsin’s lead to 14-0 with 14:56 to go in the first half.
Keontez Lewis caught an 18-yard touchdown pass to increase the Badgers’ lead to 21-0 with 12:22 left in the first half.
Badgers linebacker Maema Njongmeta got a pick on an Aggies deflection at New Mexico State’s 2-yard line that set up Allen’s second TD two plays later, a 1-yard rush that pushed Wisconsin to 28-0.
Quarterback Graham Mertz went 10 of 13 for 251 yards with three touchdowns and 1 interception in three-plus quarters. Mertz threw to six different receivers.
Myles Burkett, a true freshman, replaced Mertz with 5:34 to go in the third quarter. Deacon Hill was inserted with less than 30 seconds remaining in the third.
Badgers wide receiver Skyler Bell caught 3 passes for 63 yards and two touchdowns, including a 49-yard TD catch.
The Aggies (0-4) just had 100 yards of offense in the first half. They collected 82 yards during a 13-play drive with less than 3 minutes remaining.
New Mexico State kicker Ethan Albertson missed a 29-yard field goal try with 4 seconds left in the first half and its only score was a 1-yard rush for a touchdown by Ahmonte Watkins with 8:10 left in the game.
The Aggies got flagged seven times for 68 yards in the loss.
Wisconsin kicker Vito Calvaruso, who missed 51- and 43-yard field-goal attempts last week in the Badgers’ 17-14 loss to Washington State, was sidelined with a right leg injury.
THE TAKEAWAY
New Mexico State: The Aggies have posted two losses to Big Ten Conference opponents this season. New Mexico State suffered a 38-0 loss at Minnesota on Sept. 1. First-season Aggies coach Jerry Kill, still searching for his first win, was head coach at Minnesota from 2011-15.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Wisconsin, which fell out of the Top 25 poll last week, likely won’t gain much ground to get back in the rankings.
UP NEXT
New Mexico State: Hosts Hawaii on Saturday.
Wisconsin: The Badgers play at No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday.

JERUSALEM, Israel – Violent crackdowns, arbitrary arrests, trumped-up police charges, imprisonments, and even live ammunition to deter innocent women, children and people with disabilities from demanding basic rights such as electricity are just a few of the heartbreaking testimonies from the Gaza Strip captured in a series of video clips published recently by the U.S.-based Center for Peace Communications.
The series, "Whispered In Gaza," which uses animation and voice-altering technology to protect the identity of the speakers, offers a rare and unfiltered glimpse into life in the poverty-stricken, embattled Palestinian enclave. But the anger and fears expressed by those who bravely share their stories are not directed toward their neighbor, Israel. Rather, their criticisms and despair are aimed at their autocratic rulers: Hamas.
"Your own thoughts are taken away from you when you walk down the street, the walls are covered in pictures, slogans and stories of the Hamas leadership and you feel like you’re in a war zone. Is this a city or a military barracks?" asks one man, who the video calls "Iyad."
"Gaza is a city. Yet they’ve penetrated it down to the walls, the billboards, even the odor," he continues. "The city has taken on a vibe of backwardness, inhumanity, militarism. At any moment it could be fired from, fired upon – missile strikes, response, repeat. We are conditioned to this."
ISRAEL FIRES BACK AT HAMAS TARGETS AFTER SECOND ROCKET STRIKE THIS WEEK AMID TENSIONS
In another of the clips, "Ahmed" recounts how the electric company, accompanied by the Hamas-controlled police, arrived to turn off the supply in his neighborhood. Those that tried to stop them, including Ahmed’s cousin, a boy with Down syndrome, were beaten and fired on with live rounds. When Ahmed decided to document the injuries and uploaded a video to the internet, he was forced into hiding for three days before the Hamas authorities caught and jailed him.
"I’m not trying to make you think I’m a hero," he says in his testimony. "I’m just one of the thousands of people who have dealt with similar situations and worse."
"When unpleasant videos come out, like the one of hundreds of Gazans celebrating the carnage in Jerusalem last week, they form the impression that Gazans are squarely behind Hamas and that’s exactly what Hamas wants," Joseph Braude, founder and president of the Center for Peace Communications, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
"Hamas claims that the people are wrapped around the resistance, that is their claim to legitimacy, but the reality is that the hundreds who turn out for such events are not a cross-section of the millions who stay home," he said.
HAMAS’ CYBER TERROR IS A TEST CASE FOR OTHER NON-STATE PLAYERS, REPORT SAYS
A designated terrorist organization, according to the U.S., EU and Israel, Hamas has maintained an iron-clad grip on Gaza since violently taking over the territory in 2007, after Israel unilaterally withdrew in 2005. The militant Islamist group, which receives funding and training from Iran, imposes a strict Islamic code on its two million plus residents and continues to engage in fighting Israel, including firing endless rounds of rockets and incendiary devices into Israeli territory, as well as mass protests along the border fence.
Israel, together with Egypt on its southern border, continues to maintain a tight civilian and military blockade over the area, controlling the flow of goods and humans in and out of the Strip, as well as responding to attacks perpetrated by Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups.
Braude noted, however, that recent polls show a diversity of views among Gazans, with the majority saying they are unhappy with the launch of rockets from their territory and blaming Hamas for initiating the wars with Israel. There is also deep resentment at Hamas’ leaders for leaving the Strip or hiding out in bunkers, while civilians suffer the casualties from these on-going flare-ups.
"The people in Gaza don’t trust them [Hamas] but they’re repressed," Braude said, adding that many even refer to Hamas, not Israel, as the occupying force in Gaza.
Michael Milshtein, head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at the Dayan Center in Tel Aviv University, Israel, told Fox News Digital that the videos were an accurate reflection of attitudes in the Gaza Strip and that in his estimation only around 25% of the population – mostly Hamas members and their families – supported the Hamas government.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN RALLY CALLING FOR 'INTIFADA,' DEMISE OF ISRAEL STUNS INTERNET: 'A CALL TO MURDER JEWS'
"I talk a lot with people in Gaza and it is quite clear that the majority of the public there is suffering and strongly opposes the Hamas administration," he said. "The big problem, however, is that there is a deep fear of Hamas and a clear understanding that any protests against the organization will be met with great force."
Milshtein said there had been some civilian protests in recent years, mainly due to the dire economic situation, but that "at the moment, Hamas is still strong and while the possibility of another outbreak of protests against them exists, I’m not sure it will be effective."
Braude, whose organization is backed by the Arab Council for Regional Integration, which promotes Israel-Arab engagement, said the goal of the project was not only to "help Gazans break the blockade" imposed by Hamas but also to spark a new conversation on the situation worldwide.
Since its launch two weeks ago, the Whispers In Gaza series, which was featured by an array of independent media outlets and is available in six languages – Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Persian – has garnered some three million views, with the largest audiences being in the Arab world and North America.
In Gaza, Hamas reportedly reacted angrily to the videos sending bot armies to bring down the organization’s distribution platforms and doctoring some of the clips with their own voiceovers. In one of the altered versions, Braude said, the testimony of a Palestinian mother describing anxiety over sending her children to a Hamas-run school was changed to the voice of a mother expressing pride at her child joining the resistance.
Monitoring broader reaction to the videos across social media, Braude said, "we’ve seen the beginnings of what we’d like to achieve, which, in a nutshell, is to start a new conversation about what’s happening in Gaza – a conversation that is wider and more thorough than the polemics which bubble up whenever there’s a war."
"We interviewed dozens of people inside Gaza on the condition that we would not show their faces, and we would alter their voices and we brought a team of very creative animators, musicians, artists, to turn their voices into, I think, quite beautiful videos that in some ways, are more memorable in the way that they depict these people’s lives artistically," he explained.
DEADLY GAZA STRIP HOUSE FIRE KILLS 21
In perhaps the most powerful of the 25 testimonies, a woman called only "Zainab," tells viewers: "There is a false stereotype that Palestinians in Gaza love rockets and wars. Gazans don’t love war, the wars that happen in Gaza are waged by the Hamas government for political aims that serve them alone."
"We don’t want war, we want a decent life, our mental and physical health is at risk due to a situation we did not chose," she continues. "A faction is fighting in the name of the Palestinian people but not all Palestinians agree with it. My struggle is to communicate with Palestinians and Israelis and make them understand that I am a human being here in Gaza, not a beast or a terrorist, or a lover of weapons because in the end, weapons won’t get us anywhere."
Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official and founder of Inside the Middle East, an educational program, told Fox, "these videos have the potential to make an impact but only if they manage to change the narrative [about Gaza] in the West and start a new process where Western circles finally hold Hamas accountable."
"If these videos can generate a new discussion where Hamas, which acts as a government for its people, is no longer exempt from any responsibility, that will empower the many people in Gaza, I would even say majority of the people there, who resent Hamas," he said.
The voices and identities of the Gazans featured in the videos have all been independently authenticated by experts. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/gaza-residents-speak-of-hamas-brutality-amid-desires-for-peace-in-the-region/article_846a84a7-e477-5985-89e5-0004061d3914.html | 2023-02-13 08:54:13 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/gaza-residents-speak-of-hamas-brutality-amid-desires-for-peace-in-the-region/article_846a84a7-e477-5985-89e5-0004061d3914.html |
~ Management updates fiscal year 2022 guidance ~
SAN DIEGO, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WD-40 Company (NASDAQ:WDFC), a global marketing organization dedicated to creating positive lasting memories by developing and selling products that solve problems in workshops, factories and homes around the world, today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2022.
Third Fiscal Quarter Financial Highlights
- Total net sales for the third quarter were $123.7 million, a decrease of 9 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date total net sales were $388.4 million, an increase of 4 percent compared to the prior year fiscal period.
- Translation of the Company's foreign subsidiary results to U.S. dollars had an unfavorable impact on sales for the current quarter and year-to-date. On a constant currency basis, total net sales would have been $127.8 million for the third quarter and $390.0 million year-to-date.
- Net income for the third quarter was $14.5 million, a decrease of 31 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date net income was $52.5 million, a decrease of 15 percent from the prior year fiscal period.
- Diluted earnings per share were $1.07 in the third quarter, compared to $1.52 per share for the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date diluted earnings per share were $3.82 compared to $4.48 for the prior year fiscal period.
- Gross margin was 47.7 percent in the third quarter compared to 53.1 percent in the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date gross margin was 49.7 percent compared to 54.9 percent in the prior year fiscal period.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses were down 12 percent in the third quarter to $33.6 million when compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date selling, general and administrative expenses were down 2 percent to $106.9 million compared to the prior year fiscal period.
- Advertising and sales promotion expenses were down 9 percent in the third quarter to $6.0 million when compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. Year-to-date advertising and sales promotion expenses were down 2 percent to $17.2 million compared to the prior year fiscal period.
"In the third quarter we were up against very strong sales comparisons and had to manage through several global disruptions that negatively impacted our current quarter sales results," said Garry Ridge, WD-40 Company's chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, we are operating in a challenging macroeconomic environment which has continued to deteriorate our gross margin. Although we remain committed to managing our business to restore gross margin to our target of 55 percent over the longer-term, we continue to experience short-term margin pressures due to inflation."
"In times like these I like to remind stakeholders to see the forest through the trees. We continue to be a business with a very strong moat, diversified across many trade channels and countries around the world. We have a strong balance sheet, generate steady cash flows, and continue to return capital to our investors though regular dividends. In addition, the WD-40® Brand is strong and robust brands like ours are great assets in turbulent times. Most critical of all, we have passionate and committed employees who are dedicated to our Company's purpose."
"As we look to the remainder of the fiscal year, despite the global disruptions we've experienced, we continue to believe we are positioned to achieve sales growth for the full fiscal year which will represent a record sales result for our Company," Ridge concluded.
Net Sales by Segment (in thousands):
- Net sales by segment as a percent of total net sales for the third quarter were as follows: for the Americas, 50 percent; for EMEA, 40 percent; and for Asia-Pacific, 10 percent.
- Net sales in the Americas increased 2 percent in the third quarter due primarily to higher sales of maintenance products in the Canada and Latin America markets which increased 23 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Higher sales of maintenance products in Canada were primarily due to increased promotional activities and a higher level of demand for our products in the industrial channel. Higher sales of maintenance products in Latin America were primarily driven by strong sales of WD-40 Multi-Use Product in Mexico due to the continued momentum from the shift in the Mexico market from a distributor model to the direct model that we made in late fiscal year 2020. In addition, price increases that went into effect earlier this fiscal year had a positive impact on sales in the region. In the United States, sales remained relatively constant period over period.
- Net sales in EMEA decreased 16 percent in the third quarter due primarily to lower sales of maintenance products in both the EMEA direct and distributor markets, which decreased 13 percent and 21 percent, respectively. The decrease in maintenance product sales in the EMEA direct markets was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and reduced demand for our products compared to the prior period. Renovation trends associated with the pandemic resulted in particularly strong demand in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 in many regions of EMEA. The decrease in maintenance product sales in the EMEA distributor markets was primarily attributable to the Company's suspension of sales in Russia due to the ongoing impacts of the Russian military action in Ukraine. On a constant currency basis EMEA sales for the third quarter would have decreased by 9 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.
- Net sales in Asia-Pacific decreased 28 percent in the third quarter due primarily to lower sales of maintenance products in the Asia-Pacific distributor markets and China, which decreased 56 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Products for our Asia-Pacific distributor and Chinese markets are sourced from a third-party manufacturer located in Shanghai, China. Both markets were negatively impacted by the Company's inability to ship products due to the severe lockdown measures instituted in Shanghai as a result of a surge in COVID-19 cases in the region. Net sales in Australia increased 4 percent in the third quarter primarily due to the ongoing growth of the base business, increased promotional activities and the impact of price increases. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on sales for the Asia-Pacific segment. On a constant currency basis, Asia-Pacific sales would have decreased by 26 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.
Net Sales by Product Group (in thousands):
- Net sales of maintenance products, which are considered the primary growth focus for the Company, decreased 9 percent in the third quarter when compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. These sales decreases were primarily attributable to lower sales of maintenance products in the Company's China and Asia-Pacific distributor markets due to lockdown measures in Shanghai related to the COVID-19 pandemic that severely limited our ability to ship product in the region. Also contributing to the decline was the Company's suspension of sales in Russia due to the ongoing impacts of the Russian military action in Ukraine. Finally, sales were lower in the Company's EMEA direct markets due to reduced demand and changing foreign currency exchange rates compared to the prior year period.
- Net sales of homecare and cleaning products decreased 10 percent in the third quarter when compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. The homecare and cleaning products, particularly those in the United States, are considered harvest brands providing healthy profits to the Company and are becoming a smaller part of the business as net sales of maintenance products grow, reflecting the execution of the Company's strategic initiatives.
Dividend and Share Repurchase Update
As previously announced on June 21, 2022, WD-40 Company's board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share payable on July 29, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 15, 2022.
On October 12, 2021, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase plan that became effective on November 1, 2021. Under the plan the Company is authorized to acquire up to $75.0 million of its outstanding shares through August 31, 2023. The timing and amount of repurchases will be based on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. During the period from March 1, 2022 through May 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 23,200 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $4.2 million, leaving $52.6 million available for the repurchase of common stock under this plan.
Updated Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
The Company updated its guidance for fiscal year 2022 as follows:
- Net sales growth is projected to be between 6 and 9 percent with net sales expected to be between $519 million and $532 million.
- Gross margin percentage for the full year is expected to be around 50 percent.
- Advertising and promotion investments are projected to be between 5.0 and 5.5 percent of net sales.
- The provision for income tax is expected to be between 20 and 21 percent.
- Net income is projected to be between $69.0 million and $70.1 million.
- Diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $5.02 and $5.10 based on an estimated 13.7 million weighted average shares outstanding.
This guidance is based on management's current view of anticipated results and does not include any future acquisitions or divestitures or the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Unanticipated inflationary headwinds, COVID-19 related lockdowns in China and other unforeseen events may further impact the Company's financial results.

Neurodiversity leader offers new digital trainings and high-touch consults to help organizations thrive
NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RethinkCare, the leading global behavioral and mental health platform for employers from RethinkFirst, today released new and updated neurodiversity resources to help companies better attract and retain neurodiverse talent. Tailored training for neurodivergent and neurotypical employees, managers, human resources leaders, and executives reduces stigma through education and provides effective strategies to build a more productive and inclusive workplace culture—addressing an overlooked but crucial area of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
"Companies that are looking to strengthen their culture and tap into new talent pools will greatly benefit from our neurodiversity training and resources," said Daniel Etra, RethinkFirst CEO. "Nearly 70% of workers are not engaged—despite increased investments in the employee experience—but companies that embrace neurodiversity can more quickly foster inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and can perform at their best."
RethinkCare offers engaging courses on workplace neurodiversity topics, including understanding neurodiversity, interviewing effectively, resolving conflict, overcoming hiring barriers, and supporting neurodiverse peers. The company also offers new high-touch consultations with employees, managers, DEI/HR/ERG leaders, and others to address their unique needs in building more inclusive and productive workplaces.
An estimated one in five people are neurodiverse, which includes conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and dyslexia. Neurodiverse adults are unemployed at rates of at least 30-40%, for reasons including:
- Hiring managers are rarely trained to effectively interview neurodiverse candidates
- Managers often do not understand how to support neurodivergent talent
- Traditional performance reviews fail to account for neurodiversity
Neurodiverse individuals possess unique strengths and can help companies optimize their performance with their contributions. Nearly 40% of HR leaders are challenged with finding talent skilled in problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity, all of which are strengths for neurodiverse individuals. Further, neurodiverse employees are 90-140% more productive than their neurotypical peers when given the right support.

Re: the March 8 article "We should reform our elections, not let others do it."
Thank you for the Tim Stellar article on whether we should reform our elections. I agree with him that the hybrid Tucson election process should be revised so all of the votes are treated equally. With the present process, Wards 2 and 4 are not represented on the Tucson Council. The proposed change of voting by ward in the final election with 2 more members elected for the entire city sounds like a viable plan to me.

Which is the best Bluetooth speaker?
Bluetooth speakers let you stream music straight from your phone, so you have a whole world of music at your fingertips. Considering how most people consume music today, getting one of these speakers is an obvious choice for most households.
So, which speaker is the best one to buy? There are tons of JBL speakers, Bose speakers, JBL speakers and those from other brands. It can be tough to know which speaker to choose when there are so many options on the market. The Denon Home 350 Wireless Speaker is a quality choice overall, thanks to its excellent sound quality and versatility. However, the right speaker for you fits your needs. Here are a few tips and recommendations to help you choose the best one for you.
What to know before you buy a Bluetooth speaker
Wired vs. portable
Bluetooth speakers can either be wired or portable. Wired speakers plug into a standard power outlet designed for indoor use as a modern alternative to a CD stereo system. Because they can be larger, you generally get better sound quality for your money from a wired speaker than a wireless model. Portable speakers have built-in batteries so you can use them anywhere, like your backyard, at the park or on camping trips. They often aren’t as loud as wired speakers, but they’re ideal if you want to listen to music out of the house.
Multi-speaker pairing
Some Bluetooth speakers give you the option to pair more than one speaker of the same type so you can listen to audio in stereo. If you want a setup that will rival your old HiFi or stereo system, multi-speaker pairing is what you need. This will allow you to have a surround sound type of effect without having to rely on bulky cables to connect all the the speakers together.
Other connectivity options
Many Bluetooth speakers give you the option to connect and play music in various ways other than Bluetooth. It’s common for these kinds of speakers to connect to your Wi-Fi, allowing you to play songs from your favorite streaming service without the added step of Bluetooth pairing. If you’re using an Apple iPhone or iPad, you may also be able to use AirPlay to send music from your device to your speaker.
What to look for in a quality Bluetooth speaker
Voice assistant
High-end Bluetooth speakers can have a built-in voice assistant, such as Alexa or Google Assistant. Alternatively, some models pair with your phone in a way that lets you use your phone’s voice assistant to control the speaker. Either way, this allows you to use voice commands to play songs, pause, skip tracks and more. It’s a great way to control your speaker without needing to be right next to it. This can be useful if you’re using your speaker to play music or other audio content while your hands are busy with chores or something else.
Sound quality
Just because you’re buying a speaker that isn’t a stereo speaker doesn’t mean you need to compromise on sound quality. You can find some excellent wireless and wired speakers on the market that sound just as good as stereo speakers. When it comes to sound quality, you’re better off buying from big-name audio brands known for their quality speakers. Buying cheap speakers or unknown brands is a recipe for flat, tinny sound. Make sure to do your research and test out some speakers that you’re interested in so you can ensure that you have some with a great sound capability.
Battery life
The best portable speakers have decent battery lives. You want a speaker that will last a full day at the beach or keep you entertained all evening around a campfire. It’s best to get a speaker with a battery life of at least 8 hours, but some can last more than 15 hours between charges. The last thing you want is for a portable speaker to die out right in the middle of a party or other gathering.
How much you can expect to spend on a Bluetooth speaker
While you can find standard speakers for less than $100, you’ll get far better sound quality in the $100-$200 range. High-end speakers can cost well over $500, but they are often worth the cost.
Bluetooth speaker FAQ
Do you need Wi-Fi for a Bluetooth speaker?
A. Technically speaking, a wireless speaker is a speaker that connects to a Wi-Fi network, while a Bluetooth speaker pairs with your phone over Bluetooth. This allows you to play audio from your phone when you don’t have Wi-Fi, which is excellent for outdoor use. However, many new speakers have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. They’re both wireless speakers and Bluetooth speakers in one handy package.
Are Bluetooth portable speakers powerful?
A. You might be wondering how powerful Bluetooth portable speakers are and if they’re loud enough for a garden party or other outdoor gathering. This varies between models, so there’s no definitive answer. Cheap portable speakers are often relatively quiet and can sound tinny if you turn the volume up too high. Higher-end portable speakers are more likely to be louder overall and maintain their sound quality when you crank up the volume.
What is a Bluetooth speaker good for?
A. This type of speaker is good for projecting sound throughout your home, especially from mobile devices. It allows you to play music and other sound from these devices without tethering them to a speaker with a cord. Bluetooth speakers are also good for decoration or playing music on the go. Portable speakers, in particular, are great for taking with you to play music while you’re out and about. They don’t take up too much space in a purse or other bag, so they’re easy to transfer from place to place.
What kind of speaker is best for camping trips?
A. When you do outdoor activities like camping, your belongings are likely to get dirty or wet easily. As such, it’s important to look for speakers that are certified waterproof and/or dustproof. You’ll also likely want to find something that is portable, especially if you are hiking to your camping destination. You don’t want to be too encumbered by a bulky speaker that takes up too much space and weight in your hiking backpack. Look for something portable and lightweight, and ideally find something that can hook onto your backpack for convenience.
What are the best speaker brands?
A. The best speakers come from quality brands known for their sound fidelity. These include brands like Bose, Sonos, JBL, Anker and Denon. These brands produce good-quality speakers consistently, so you can rely on them to have good products. Some, like, Bose speakers, can be a little bit expensive, but the quality justifies the price. However, not all portable speakers are expensive. Some, like JBL speakers, are a bit cheaper but are still of a great quality.

Hollywood’s writers are on strike. Here’s five things you need to know
This week, 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Since talks with Hollywood studios began March 20, the two sides have failed to reach an accord on a new three-year film TV contract to replace one that expired Monday.
A long strike could have a ripple effect on not only film and television production but also the Southern California economy. The impact is also likely to be felt in Georgia, New York, New Mexico and other production hubs nationwide. Without writers, scripted television shows will struggle to continue filming and live late-night shows will stop immediately.
Here is a primer on what to know about the union’s first strike in 15 years.
Streaming has transformed television and led to a surge in content, but it also has squeezed Hollywood writers. Five Writers Guild of America members share their stories.
How did we get here?
The roots of the current labor conflict were planted during the previous writers strike in 2007-08, the first big clash over so-called new media. The rapid growth of Netflix and other online platforms since then has dramatically changed how entertainment is consumed, and how writers are paid for creating that entertainment.
Even as streaming content has boomed, however, writers argue that the new models have streadily eroded their pay and the ability to earn a living in Hollywood.
There were early signs of tensions.
WGA leaders have been signaling for some time that this bargaining cycle would be tough because, they say, so many guild members are working at minimum pay levels.
In an interview with The Times in 2021, WGA President Meredith Stiehm described the situation as a financial emergency.
“It’s sort of like a turning point, the way it was in 2007 with the internet,” Stiehm said.
Less than a week before negotiations began with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on March 20, WGA leaders warned of an “existential” threat to writers.
They presented to the studios a package of demands — from boosting minimum pay levels to higher streaming residuals — valued at nearly $600 million.
By early April, the WGA said the progress in talks was not sufficient, and it called for members to vote in favor of a strike authorization. The WGA strike authorization was granted by an historic margin — 98% to 2% — (among 9,218 ballots cast.)
Writers returned to the bargaining table on April 14. Still, by the midnight Pacific time deadline on May 1, there was no deal to be had.
Layoffs, hints of a recession and an uncertain future for streaming add up to contentious negotiations as the WGA looks for a new deal with Hollywood studios.
So what are the main sticking points for writers?
In short, writers argue that their pay hasn’t kept up with the rapid pace of technological change.
They say they are working for shorter periods of time and having to find several gigs a year to make ends meet. Typically, broadcast networks would order about 20 episodes for shows that would be worked on over 10 months. But in recent years, studios have more often focused on streaming short-order series with eight to 10 episodes.
In particular, writers have complained that residuals —the royalties they collect when the shows they create are re-aired — are much lower in the age of streaming than they were when working for broadcast networks, when successful shows would run for years in syndication.
Another sticking point is the growing use of of mini-rooms, where small groups of writers lay out the foundation of a series before it goes into production and are often paid near minimum levels.
Half of series writers now earn scale (the minimum episodic or weekly rate) versus 33% during the 2013-14 season, according to a recent WGA survey. Median screenwriter pay hasn’t risen since 2018 and, adjusted for inflation, has fallen 14% in the last five years. And the median weekly pay for writer-producers declined 23% over the last decade when adjusting for inflation, the union said.
Although stunned by the medical leave of the union’s chief negotiator, many guild members have voiced confidence in his replacement, Ellen Stutzman.
What are the rules for writers during the strike?
The WGA released a long list of instructions to members last month about what work they can or cannot do. Film, TV, animation and fiction podcasts will be affected.
During a strike, a WGA member or their agent cannot meet with or negotiate with the studios and may not write or sell or option material, according to rules sent to members viewed by The Times.
Additionally, a writer can’t revise existing work, start a new project or deliver work to a struck company, whether they work from home or an office. Writers can’t even discuss work with studios, and they must save a digital date-stamped copy of all un-produced literary material within 24 hours of when the strike begins.
Even writer-producers or writer-directors are heavily limited in the work they can do during production and post-production as showrunners. For example, they can’t make cuts for time, make minor changes to dialogue or even change stage directions.
Although the WGA can’t stop members from doing purely production work, they are encouraging members not to do any such work in a show of support. During the 2007-08 strike, many showrunners refused to do any work for struck companies, according to the WGA.
The 2007-08 writers’ strike, and lingering mistrust between big media companies and their Hollywood workers, has cast a long shadow over current WGA contract talks.
Who is on strike?
So far, only the 11,500 member of the WGA are on strike, but that could change pending the outcome of other potentially contentious negotiations.
SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild of America have contracts that run through June 30, meaning their members cannot legally join in any job walkout until after the contracts expire.
However, the Teamsters have already said they will joint WGA members on the picket lines. The 6,500 members of Local 399 include drivers and transport dispatchers, location managers and casting directors.
“Teamsters local 399, as well as the rest of Teamster locals across the country, within the motion picture industry, are in full support of WGA’s fight,” Lindsay Dougherty, secretary general of Hollywood Teamsters Local 399 told The Times. “We will definitely be honoring the picket lines.”
SAG-AFTRA, the DGA and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents crews, also issued statements expressing strong support for the WGA, although the DGA told its members last month that under their current contract, employers could replace them if they choose not to work.
The solidarity stands in contrast to previous cycles of bargaining, when other guilds sometimes sparred with the WGA over strategy, and it may strengthen the writers’ leverage in negotiations.
How long will this strike last?
No one knows, but history suggests it won’t be over quickly.
The longest WGA strike was in 1988 and lasted 153 days. The last WGA strike, in 2007-08, lasted 100 days.
The contract and terms that the two sides have to renegotiate — such as sorting through byzantine residual calculations across a range of work and distribution platforms — is complex and time-consuming.
Macro conditions do not point to a quick resolution. It’s not clear how willing studios will be to cut a deal at a time when many entertainment companies such as Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are being roiled by cutbacks and layoffs as Wall Street investors pressure them to increase the profitability of their streaming platforms.
Some studios may even view a walkout as an opportune time to scrap unprofitable writer deals through so-called force-majeure clauses in contracts.
A walkout could last weeks or months, depending on how negotiations play out with other Hollywood unions.
AMPTP has to start negotiations with the DGA on May 10, followed by SAG-AFTRA, which is scheduled to begin bargaining a month later.

Which sink faucet is best?
Whether it’s in a kitchen or a bathroom, a sink is only as good as the faucet it’s paired with. And besides functionality, pairing your sink with the right faucet can help achieve the look you want for your kitchen or bathroom, whether your tastes are modern or traditional.
A faucet for a kitchen sink usually has a high spout to allow large items to fit into the sink, whereas one for a bathroom may have a shorter spout and a single lever for adjusting the temperature. There are several things to consider when choosing a new faucet, such as how it mounts to the sink, how tall it should be and how it is controlled. The Delta Faucet Essa Single-Handle Touch Kitchen Sink Faucet is an excellent example for use in a kitchen. It is designed for a single-hole sink and has a high arched spout with a pull-out wand and touch sensor controls.
What to know before you buy a sink faucet
Sink type
The first thing to consider is the type of sink and how the faucet needs to be mounted. Sinks may have one, two or three mounting holes for monobloc, mixer or pillar faucets. An under-mount, inset or vessel sink frequently has no mounting holes and requires either a countertop or a wall-mounted faucet.
Design
Choosing the right design can be difficult. Should it be modern or traditional? Tall or compact? Ornate or minimalist? But chances are you’ll find a faucet that matches the style of sink, your decor and your appliances or hardware.
Finish
Chrome, brushed steel and nickel are popular choices for modern bathrooms and kitchens, whereas bronze, gold and polished brass suit a more traditional aesthetic. Inexpensive faucets tend to have a low-quality finish that may tarnish or even peel off over time. High-end kitchen faucets are often treated with a protective coating that prevents staining and limescale buildup.
What to look for in a quality sink faucet
Taps
The way the water flow and temperature are controlled is another key factor. Modern faucets usually have a mixer valve with a single lever for adjusting the pressure and mixing the hot and cold. On the other hand, traditional designs tend to favor twin taps with crossheads or knobs. Some kitchen faucets also have a sensor that turns on the water when the spout is touched, making it easy to turn on and off with full hands.
Spout
The size and height of the spout affect water flow and useability. A narrow spout will give increased pressure but lets less water through, which may be an issue when filling large sinks. Kitchen faucets should have a high spout so as not to hinder the use of the sink. Some even have a pull-out wand on a flexible hose to assist with cleaning odd-shaped items or for filling pots on the countertop.
Installation
The difficulty of installation varies depending on the mounting method. Faucets that mount directly onto the sink are usually the easiest to install, whereas wall-mounted faucets require the supply pipes to be sunk into the wall.
How much you can expect to spend on a sink faucet
A basic monobloc faucet for a bathroom sink can be found for under $50, whereas a high-quality faucet for a kitchen sink, with features such as a pull-out wand and touch controls, can be as much as $500.
Sink faucet FAQ
Are all faucets equal when it comes to water pressure?
A. No, they aren’t. In fact, most faucets are designed for either high- or low-pressure systems. If your hot water comes from a storage tank, then you will likely need a low-pressure faucet.
I am installing a new sink. Can I use my old faucet?
A. As long as the faucet uses the same mounting method, then there is no reason that it cannot be used again. You can even install new quarter-turn inserts into some faucets that make it work as well as a new one.

YBOR CITY, Fla. (WFLA) – A person in a truck threw a firework at a family and some friends sitting on their porch in Florida where it exploded next to two small children, surveillance footage from the home shows.
The group had gathered at the home in Ybor City to celebrate July Fourth on Tuesday night when a pick-up truck slowly drove down the street, homeowner Peter Murray told Nexstar’s WFLA.
In footage shared with WFLA, a person seemingly riding in the bed of the truck tosses the lit firework at the group.
The firework then explodes right in front of the family, which included 3- and 4-year-old children.
Murray said one person was burned on the foot and another was burned on the leg. The children were frightened but not injured.
A representative for the Tampa Police Department did not immediately return a request for further information on Wednesday morning.

NEW YORK (AP) — Gregg Berhalter has agreed to return as U.S. national team coach, a surprising turn of events 5 1/2 months after his contract expired amid conflict with the Reyna family and an investigation of a three-decades-old domestic violence allegation.
Berhalter agreed to coach the team through the 2026 World Cup, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night because an announcement had not been made.
The U.S. Soccer Federation was likely to make an announcement Friday, the person said. The decision was first reported by The Athletic.
Berhalter, 49, was hired in December 2018 after the failure to qualify for that year’s tournament in Russia and coached the Americans to the second round of last year’s World Cup, where they were eliminated with a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands. The U.S. gets an automatic berth in the 2026 World Cup as co-host with Mexico and Canada.
He led the Americans to 37 wins, 11 losses and 12 draws and was discussing a new contract with USSF sporting director Earnie Stewart when the family of Gio Reyna, upset with his lack of playing time in Qatar, contacted the USSF about the allegation involving Berhalter in a 1992 incident with the woman who became his wife.
Gio Reyna’s parents — former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and midfielder Danielle Egan — were angered that Berhalter discussed his issues with Gio at a management conference after the World Cup that, while not identifying Gio, clearly were about the 20-year-old midfielder.
The USSF retained the Alston and Bird legal team to investigate, and the law firm said in a report released March 13 that while Berhalter’s conduct “likely constituted the misdemeanor crime of assault on a female,” Berhalter did not improperly withhold information when he was hired.
“There is no basis to conclude that employing Mr. Berhalter would create legal risks for an organization,” the report said.
Berhalter said there were “zero excuses for my actions that night” and said the behavior was never repeated.
Stewart announced Jan. 26 that he was quitting and was replaced in late April by Southampton director of football operations Matt Crocker, who was tasked with leading the search. Crocker said planned to make a decision by late summer.
Anthony Hudson, one of Berhalter’s assistants, became interim coach on Jan. 4 and coached the Americans to two wins, one loss and two draws, then quit on May 30 to become coach of the Qatari club Al Markhiya.
B.J. Callaghan, another assistant, replaced Hudson and led the Americans for the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal against Mexico on Thursday night.
Christian Pulisic, the top American player, said last week the USSF should consider bringing Berhalter back.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Esmita Spudes Bidari was a young girl in Nepal, she dreamed of being in the military, but that wasn’t a real option in her country.
Last week, she raised her right hand and took the oath to join the U.S. Army Reserves, thanks in part to a recruiter in Dallas who also is Nepalese and reached out to her through an online group.
Bidari, who heads to basic training in August, is just the latest in a growing number of legal migrants enlisting in the U.S. military as it more aggressively seeks out immigrants, offering a fast track to citizenship to those who sign up.
Struggling to overcome recruiting shortfalls, the Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to enlist, putting out pamphlets, working social media and broadening their outreach, particularly in inner cities. One key element is the use of recruiters with similar backgrounds to these potential recruits.
“It is one thing to hear about the military from locals here, but it is something else when it’s from your fellow brother, from the country you’re from,” said Bidari, who was contacted by Army Staff Sgt. Kalden Lama, the Dallas recruiter, on a Facebook group that helps Nepalese people in America connect with one another. “That brother was in the group and he was recruiting and he told me about the military.”
The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen. But they also require additional security screening and more help filling out forms, particularly those who are less proficient in English.
Both the Army and the Air Force say they will not meet their recruiting goals this year, and the Navy also expects to fall short. Pulling more from the legal immigrant population may not provide large numbers, but any small boosts will help. The Marine Corp is the only service on pace to meet its goal.
The shortfalls have led to a wide range of new recruiting programs, ad campaigns and other incentives to help the services compete with often higher-paying, less risky jobs in the private sector. Defense leaders say young people are less familiar with the military, are drawn more to corporate jobs that provide similar education and other benefits, and want to avoid the risk of injury and death that service in defense of the United States could bring. In addition, they say that little more than 20% meet the physical, mental and character requirements to join.
“We have large populations of legal U.S. residents who are exceptionally patriotic, they’re exceptionally grateful for the opportunities that this country has provided,” said Air Force Maj. Gen. Ed Thomas, head of the service’s recruiting command.
The biggest challenges have been identifying geographic pockets of immigrant populations, finding ways to reach them and helping any of those interested navigate the complex military recruiting applications and procedures.
Last October, the Army reestablished a program for legal permanent residents to apply for accelerated naturalization once they get to basic training. Recruiters began to reach out on social media, using short videos in various languages to target the top 10 countries that recruits had come from during the previous year.
The Air Force effort began this year, and the first group of 14 graduated from basic training and were sworn in as new citizens in April. They included recruits from Cameroon, Jamaica, Kenya, the Philippines, Russia and South Africa. As of mid-May there were about 100 in basic training who had begun the citizenship process and about 40 who had completed it.
Thomas said the program required changes to Air Force policy, coordination with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and a careful screening process to ensure there are no security risks.
“We have to take exceptional measures to be able to thoroughly vet and go through the security clearance investigation,” he said, adding that in many cases the immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.
Under the new program, recruits are quickly enrolled in the citizenship system and when they start basic training, an expedited process kicks off, including all required paperwork and testing. By the time Air Force recruits finish their seven weeks of training, the process is complete and they are sworn in as American citizens.
The first group of 14 included several who are seeking various medical jobs, while another wants to be an air transportation specialist. Thomas said Airman 1st Class Natalia Laziuk, 31, emigrated from Russia nine years ago, has dreamed of being a U.S. citizen since she was 11, and learned about the military by watching American movies and television.
“Talking to this young airman, she essentially said, ‘I just wanted to be useful to my country,’” he said. “And that’s a story that we see played over and over and over again. I’ve talked to a number of these folks around the country. They’re hungry to serve.”
For Bidari, who arrived in the U.S. in 2016 to attend college, the fast track to citizenship was important because it will make it easier for her to travel and bring her parents to the United States to visit. Speaking in a call from Chicago just a day after she was sworn in, she said she enlisted for six years and hopes that her future citizenship will help her become an officer.
In Chicago earlier this year, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth heard from a number of recruiters about the increased outreach to immigrant communities and how it helped them meet their numbers. In the 2022 budget year, they said, the Chicago recruiting battalion enlisted 70 legal permanent residents and already this year they have enlisted 62.
More broadly across the Army, close to 2,900 enlisted during the first half of this budget year, compared with about 2,200 during the same period the previous year. The largest numbers are from Jamaica, with 384, followed by Mexico, the Philippines and Haiti, but many are from Nepal, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.
“As a little girl, looking at the soldiers, I always had admiration for them,” said Bidari, recalling British troops in Nepal. “Yesterday, when I was able to take that oath … I don’t think I have words to really explain how I was feeling. When they said, ‘Welcome future soldier,’ I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, this is happening.’” | https://www.ksn.com/news/politics/ap-politics/join-the-military-become-a-us-citizen-uncle-sam-wants-you-and-vous-and-tu/ | 2023-06-11 14:15:48 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/politics/ap-politics/join-the-military-become-a-us-citizen-uncle-sam-wants-you-and-vous-and-tu/ |

BERLIN (AP) — Germany announced Monday that it is issuing fines of 5.125 million euros ($5 million) against the operators of the messaging app Telegram for failing to comply with German law.
The Federal Office of Justice said Telegram FZ-LLC hasn’t established a lawful way for reporting illegal content or named an entity in Germany to receive official communication. Both are required under German laws that regulate large online platforms.
German officials said they have repeatedly failed in their attempts to serve papers to Dubai-based Telegram, despite support from authorities in the United Arab Emirates.
A Germany-based law firm has since declared that it represents Telegram, but this wasn’t enough to prevent the fines being issued, the Federal Office of Justice said.
German federal police warned earlier this year that the app is becoming a “medium for radicalization,” used by some to target politicians, scientists and doctors for their role in tackling the coronavirus pandemic.
“The operators of messaging services and social networks bear a particular responsibility for acting against incitement to hatred and violence on their platforms,” Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said in a statement. “These legal requirements and this responsibility can’t be avoided by trying to be unreachable.”
The fine can be appealed. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/tech-news/ap-germany-slaps-messaging-app-telegram-with-5-million-fine/ | 2022-10-18 00:36:14 | 0 | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/tech-news/ap-germany-slaps-messaging-app-telegram-with-5-million-fine/ |
Pure, Fresh, and Wild for Easy Seasonal Dinners
CORDOVA, Alaska, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Prince William Sound Sockeye season started on May 30 and the salmon, which are rich in Omega three fatty acids and Vitamin D, will be featured at Hy-Vee, Inc throughout the summer. Pure, fresh, and wild, these brilliant red salmon are naturally flavorful and lend themselves to quick seasonal dinner preparations.
Alaska's pristine Prince William Sound, home to more than 550 drift and set gillnet permit holders, is one of our country's premier yet best kept secrets when it comes seafood resources. The Sound, which sits west of the Copper River Delta in the Gulf of Alaska, is a protected water system that boasts a complex coastline, glacier-hewn fjords, rain forest-blanketed islands, and an array of marine life. Each year, the region boasts an annual harvest of more than 55 million fish with fishermen catching all five species of Pacific salmon. Prince William Sound Sockeye salmon average about five pounds each and this year Alaska Department of Fish and Game projects an average run.
Throughout the season, Prince William Sound fishermen, committed to preserving the salmon's inherent characteristics, handle every fish with care and utilize artisan harvesting techniques honed over generations. Minimally handling, chilling, and delivering the fish quickly to processors results in a superior product for the consumer.
Starting mid-June, Hy-Vee, Inc, headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, will be featuring Pure Fresh Wild Prince William Sound sockeye at 179 of their locations across eight Midwestern States. The supermarket chain is synonymous with quality and customer service and shoppers should look for the Prince William Sound sockeye signage and they should ask for the fish by name. Jason Pride, Vice President Meat and Seafood says, "We are proud to offer the highest quality, sustainable, fresh Wild Alaska Prince William Sound salmon at Hy-Vee!"
According to Christa Hoover, Executive Director of the Copper River Prince William Sound Marketing Association, "We are pleased to be partnering with Hy-Vee this season as their commitment to customer experience and quality so closely aligns with what our fleet of fishermen do. With its just caught natural flavor, Prince William Sound sockeye lends itself to so many quick and easy dinner preparations for today's busy cooks. A six-ounce portion cooks in under 8 minutes over moderate heat and is deliciously versatile."
For cooking ideas and inspiration, Hoover suggests salmon lovers checkout the Hy-Vee recipe section where more than 200 salmon recipes are featured. Simple favorites such as Grilled Salmon BLTs, Asian Glazed Salmon, BBQ Spiced Salmon, and Easy Grilled Salmon allow the fresh salmon flavor to shine and can be made in less than 20 minutes. Recipes and Hy-Vee locations can also be found on the Prince William Sound website.
The Copper River/Prince William Sound Marketing Association, a fishermen funded regional seafood development association, works on behalf of 550 commercial salmon fishermen of Coastal South-Central Alaska. The association works to build brand awareness and consumer preference for wild Copper River king, sockeye and coho as well as Prince William Sound sockeye, keta, and pink salmon.

GALICE, Ore. (AP) — The Rum Creek Fire in remote southwest Oregon has burned nearly 18.75 square miles (49 square kilometers), is threatening thousands of homes and is only about 1% contained.
As of Tuesday morning, the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said 5,035 homes and more than 2,600 other structures were at risk, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. Officials have said the fire has destroyed one home and two structures.
High temperatures and shifting winds in the next several days are expected to increase fire danger and cause the blaze to become more active, officials said.
Mandatory evacuations are in place for dozens of homes near the towns of Rand and Galice. Lower level evacuations are in effect for some surrounding areas.
Heavy smoke kept temperatures down and helped increase humidity levels, so fire activity slowed on Monday, the update said. The smoke also curtailed air operations and the fire grew by nearly 3.1 square miles (8 square kilometers).
More than 1,300 firefighters are working the blaze with additional personnel arriving. Crews from California are working with the Oregon State Fire Marshall on structure protection, including areas east of the fire, where it is most active, officials said.
An air quality advisory has been issued for the area with the worst rating possible — hazardous — in Grants Pass, according to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
Josephine County and fire officials will hold a community meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at North Valley High School in Grants Pass. It will be broadcast it on Facebook Live. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Fire-threatening-over-7-000-structures-in-17408172.php | 2022-08-30 21:45:26 | 0 | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Fire-threatening-over-7-000-structures-in-17408172.php |

(Our Auto Expert) — It has been a sobering year for investors in Tesla and other start-up car companies looking for Tesla-style success. Rivian, which went public almost two years ago, has lost 70% of its value in the last 15 months. So what were the bestsellers last year?
Fully electric vehicle sales hit the 800,000 mark last year. That is almost double the number from the previous year and just short of 6% of US car sales.
At number 10 on the list are the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian RT1. Unfortunately, Rivian doesn’t offer a clear picture of their models sold, but it appears through deduction that they sold almost 20,000 RT1 pick-ups, which put them neck and neck with the Lightning.
VW takes the number nine spot with the American Made ID4, and Kia comes in at 8 with the EV6, while its sister car, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, takes the number 7 spot with 22,982 sold in the last year.
Tesla’s most extensive vehicle, the Model X, sits at the number 6 spot. Although the model is available, the X still sells well and is popular with its 348 miles of range.
The Chevy Bolt EV and EUV sit comfortably at number 5 even after a stop sales order because of battery problems last year. Chevy reported sales of 38,120 last year.
The Tesla Model S, which starts at $104,990, managed to hold onto the number 4 Spot and is one of the only luxury vehicles in the top 10 regarding sales.
The Legendary Ford Mustang Mach-E hit number 3 on the sales chart, with Ford reporting sales of just under 40,000. Starting at $46,895, it also has a reasonable price in the market.
It’s no surprise that Tesla holds the top two spots, with the Model 3 at number 2 and the SUV version of that car, the Model Y having the number 1 Spot for 2022.
2023 will be interesting, with 43 new electric vehicles slated for Launch, including some three-row SUVs and first-time Battery Electric Vehicles from Maserati, Lexus, Jeep, Lotus, and Rolls Royce. | https://www.pahomepage.com/automotive/what-were-the-best-selling-electric-vehicles-of-2022/ | 2023-01-11 22:12:01 | 0 | https://www.pahomepage.com/automotive/what-were-the-best-selling-electric-vehicles-of-2022/ |

Drivers of the Porsche Taycan no longer have to use the EV’s Charging Planner that’s part of its built-in navigation system. They can also now use Apple Maps, via their iPhone.
With the CarPlay-based option, Apple Maps gains access to the Taycan’s real-time battery performance and state of charge, so that it can plot out your trip and adjust accordingly in real time. Specifically, the Maps app taps into battery information, energy consumption, and your vehicle model, but it doesn’t share data with Porsche.
The Apple Maps route planner will use energy consumption models specific to the Taycan, updating your estimated energy use along the way and including details like elevation changes and estimated speed, suggesting a charging stop in the route when needed.
That’s essentially what Porsche’s existing Charging Planner, included with the Taycan’s navigation system, already does.
But there’s one difference. The Apple Maps method uses info from the car but can’t influence its battery behavior. So while the Charging Planner activates battery preconditioning as you approach a charging station—to offer the fastest charge rate possible—that isn’t an advantage available to those who use the Apple app to plot their way on trips.
That said, as Green Car Reports has observed in the past, it might not make much of a difference, depending on the trip. While preconditioning the Taycan for a 350-kw DC fast charger means significant time saved—especially in chillier weather—the advantages of conditioning the battery for a 150-kw DC fast charger are negligible.
All Taycan models are compatible with the routing, but 2021 and earlier Taycans will need a software update administered at the dealership.
To use the feature you must be running iOS 16.4 or later, and you’ll need the My Porsche app on your iPhone. And if you have multiple vehicles, they’re selectable in the app.
BMW first adopted Apple CarPlay-based charger routing in the BMW i4. GM has taken a very different tack, though; it recently said it has no plans to support Apple CarPlay, and it’s instead aiming for an experience that will carry over to branded apps with “one-click” charging.
Google has offered electric-car charging locations in its Maps app since 2018, although it hasn’t been integrated as part of route planning or very useful for filtering stations by charge rate. EV-savvy route planners have found specialized apps such as Chargeway or A Better Routeplanner best for this.
Earlier this year Google claimed the addition of charge-routing functionality similar to this for the Polestar 2, Cadillac Lyriq, GMC Hummer EV, and Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge models.

BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas — Mother nature is doing its thing with the heat in Houston.
We, humans, aren't the only ones feeling the effects of the scorching weather. Seas of dead fish are washing up along the coast of Brazoria County because of the hot temperatures.
Katie St. Clair, the sea life facility manager at Texas A&M University at Galveston, said the fish simply can't breathe because of the lower-than-normal, dissolved oxygen in the water.
“As we get these warmer Gulf water temperatures, the water itself has less capacity to hold dissolved oxygen, which of course is really important and essential for the fish and other animals to breathe," she said.
St. Clair said this phenomenon affects schools of fish the most.
A video posted on social media shows hundreds -- and we mean hundreds -- of fish washed ashore on Bryan Beach in Freeport, Texas.
“It's still alarming to see that and just because it's a natural occurrence doesn't mean it's necessarily a pleasant one," said Bryan Frazier, Brazoria County's park director.
Less wave action has also been a contributor to the dead fish.
Brazoria County has used heavy equipment to rake up the dead fish. They then bury them in the dunes to take away the smell. The fish become compost, which serves as a health park of the ecosystem for the dune grass.
As wild as this is, this isn't all that uncommon.
“It’s happened before," one beachgoer we talked to said. "I’ve seen it twice.”
It's hard to say how long this will last, but it's an issue the county said it will continue to deal with.
The Texas Department and Wildlife Department released the following statement on the dead fish:
"According to the Kills and Spills Team in Region 3, the fish kill was investigated and it was determined to have been caused by a low dissolved oxygen event. The species most impacted was Gulf menhaden. Fish kills like this are common in the summer when temperatures increase. If there isn't enough oxygen in the water, fish can't "breathe." Low dissolved oxygen in many cases is a natural occurrence. Daily variations in dissolved oxygen concentration are attributed to photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. Increased dissolved oxygen during the day is a result of photosynthesis which is driven by sunlight. Photosynthesis stops at night and may slow down on cloudy days, but plants and animals in the water continue to respire and consume free oxygen, decreasing the dissolved oxygen concentration. Often before a kill event occurs, fish can be seen trying to get oxygen by gulping at the surface of the water early in the morning. Some fish may also be lying on the bottom or at the edge of the water." | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/dead-fish-texas-coast/285-27758df0-5825-4e7a-aacd-d91232d974ce | 2023-06-11 07:56:40 | 0 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/dead-fish-texas-coast/285-27758df0-5825-4e7a-aacd-d91232d974ce |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Maddy Siegrist scored 18 of her 22 points in the first half and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead No. 24 Villanova to a 67-41 win over Penn on Thursday night.
It was the third straight double-double for Siegrist, who earned the first Big East player of the week award after combining for 53 points and 24 rebounds for the Wildcats (3-0).
Siegrist scored 11 points in the second quarter when Villanova stretched a 16-13 first-quarter lead to 42-27 at the half. She hit 7 of 10 shots, including both of her 3-pointers.
Maddie Burke made 4 of 5 3-pointers and scored 12 points. The Wildcats went 8 of 16 from 3-point range, better than their overall shooting, which was 39%.
Three players scored eight points for the Quakers (1-3), who shot 22%, going 3 of 16 from 3-point range.
Villanova plays another Big Five game against a Philadelphia rival on Sunday, going to Temple.

Versatile running back Roger Craig, and two-time Super Bowl-winning coaches Tom Coughlin and Mike Shanahan advanced to the next stage of consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The selection committees cut down the list of candidates from 31 seniors and 29 coaches and contributors to 12 in each category in results announced Thursday.
The 12-person committees for each group will meet next month to pick up to three senior candidates among players who last played no later 1998, and one coach and contributor. The finalists will be part of the Hall’s class of 2024 if they are supported by at least 80% of voters next January.
Craig was a key part of San Francisco’s dynasty in the 1980s with his ability as a physical runner and as a receiver out of the backfield. Craig was the first player ever to have 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season in 1985, and led the NFL with 2,036 yards from scrimmage in 1988 when he helped the 49ers win the Super Bowl.
Craig was also part of the title-winning teams in San Francisco in the 1984 and 1989 seasons. His 410 yards from scrimmage in those Super Bowl wins are the third- most ever behind only Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Franco Harris.
Among the other senior candidates are former league MVP Ken Anderson, 1978 Defensive Player of the Year Randy Gradishar and AFL star receivers Otis Taylor and Art Powell.
The other remaining semifinalists are Maxie Baughan, Joe Jacoby, Albert Lewis, Steve McMichael, Eddie Meador, Sterling Sharpe and Al Wistert.
Anderson was a four-time Pro Bowler for Cincinnati and won the MVP in 1981 when he helped the Bengals reach their first Super Bowl before losing to San Francisco. When Anderson retired after the 1986 season he ranked sixth all time with 32,838 yards passing and 13th with 197 TD passes.
Gradishar was a key part to Denver’s “Orange Crush” defense in the 1970s, making the Pro Bowl seven times in 10 seasons and being selected as an All-Pro in 1977 and ’78.
Taylor and Powell were among the top receivers in the pass-happy AFL. Powell’s 81 touchdowns rank second best in AFL history behind Don Maynard, and his 8,015 yards receiving were third behind only Maynard and Hall of Famer Lance Alworth.
Taylor, who died in March at age 80, was an All-Pro twice and led the AFL in TD catches in 1967 and the NFL in yards receiving in 1971.
Shanahan won back-to-back titles for Denver in the 1997 and ’98 seasons and Coughlin won two championships with the Giants in the 2007 and 2011 seasons to earn advancement to the next stage.
Of the 14 coaches to win multiple Super Bowls, nine are in the Hall of Fame, two more are active, with Shanahan, Coughlin and George Seifert the only ones not to get into the Hall.
Mike Holmgren, who won a Super Bowl for Green Bay in the 1996 season and lost two more trips with the Packers and Seahawks, also advanced.
The other semifinalists in the coach and contributor category are Frank “Bucko” Kilroy, Robert Kraft, Buddy Parker, Dan Reeves, Art Rooney Jr., Marty Schottenheimer, Clark Shaughnessy, Lloyd Wells and John Wooten.
The Class of 2024 will be formally enshrined next summer in Canton, Ohio.

Fields, Bears score 23 straight points, beat Pats 33-14
Posted/updated on: October 25, 2022 at 7:34 amBy JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer
Justin Fields threw for 179 yards and a touchdown and ran for 82 yards and another score, and the Bears defense forced returning Patriots starter Mac Jones back to the bench on Monday night to give Chicago a 33-14 victory over New England.
In a matchup of quarterbacks from the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game, Fields outperformed Jones, who led Alabama to victory over Fields’ Ohio State. And Fields also outplayed Patriots rookie Bailey Zappe, who came on after Jones was managed just two three-and-outs and an interception in his return after missing three games with a high ankle sprain.
With the damp Gillette Stadium crowd chanting “Zappe! Zappe!” the fourth-round draft pick from Western Kentucky led the Patriots to back-to-back touchdowns and a 14-10 lead. But Fields answered with a 25-yard pass to Khalil Herbert and then, after Zappe fumbled in the last 2 minutes, the Bears (3-4) added a field goal to make it 20-14 at the half.
In the second half it was all Chicago, which ran off 23 unanswered points.
Zappe was 5 of 6 for 109 yards and a touchdown in the first half. But in the second, he was 9 of 16 for 76 yards and two interceptions. Jones completed 3 of 6 passes for 13 yards, with one interception. Rhamondre Stevenson caught eight passes for 59 yards and ran 11 times for 39 for the Patriots (3-4).
Fields ran 14 times for 82 yards, including five third-down scrambles for first downs. David Montgomery ran for 62 yards and Herbert did the same for Chicago, which had lost three straight games and four out of five. The Bears had also lost five straight to the Patriots and eight out of nine since beating New England in the 1986 Super Bowl 46-10.
PAPA PATRIOT
The loss deprived Patriots coach Bill Belichick of a 325th career victory – regular season and playoffs – that would have moved him past Monsters of the Midway Hall of Famer George Halas on the NFL’s all-time list. Belichick and Halas remain tied for second behind Don Shula, who won 347 games for the Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins.
HONORING SEYMOUR
The Patriots honored former defensive lineman Richard Seymour at halftime as he was presented his Hall of Fame ring by owner Robert Kraft. Seymour was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past summer. He spent eight seasons with New England and was a member of three Super Bowl winning teams.
INJURIES:
Bears OL Lucas Patrick left in the first half with a toe injury.
Patriots: S Kyle Dugger left in the third quarter with an ankle injury. C David Andrews was evaluated for a head injury after taking a blindside block from Bears defensive lineman Mike Pennel following a fourth-quarter interception. Pennel was ejected on the play.
UP NEXT
Bears: At the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Patriots: At the New York Jets on Sunday.
