In Maryland’s gubernatorial race, Democrat Wes Moore has excited voters with an uplifting life story, soaring rhetoric, impressive credentials from a career spent outside politics and a progressive agenda that relies on an expansive, ambitious government. The Republican, first-term state Del. Dan Cox, has cast himself as Donald Trump’s acolyte, running with the former president’s endorsement and amplifying his lies about election integrity.
The candidates are not merely a study in policy contrasts. They exist in different worlds. Mr. Moore has staked out the aspirational high ground as a liberal intent on tackling high crime, unaffordable housing, child poverty, and the racial wealth and opportunity gaps. Mr. Cox’s political views are rooted in hard-right resentment — at President Biden’s 2020 victory, which he falsely denies; at pandemic mask and vaccine mandates, which saved countless lives; at critical race theory, a chimera wielded to stoke racial anger; at climate change forecasts, which he regards as phony.
The Post endorses Mr. Moore, a charismatic first-time candidate whose grasp of Maryland’s challenges far surpasses that of Mr. Cox.
This is not a close choice.
Mr. Moore, 43, led a major philanthropic outfit, Robin Hood, which dispenses tens of millions of dollars annually to fight poverty in New York City. As an officer and paratrooper in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, Mr. Moore led troops in Afghanistan in his 20s and earned rave reviews from his superiors, one of whom assessed him as a “top 1% officer [and] the best lieutenant I’ve encountered during Operation Enduring Freedom.”
In this race, Mr. Moore offers the best bet for an executive in the mold of the popular term-limited incumbent, Gov. Larry Hogan (R). That might seem paradoxical given that they belong to rival parties and hew to different ideological lines. Yet by instinct and temperament, Mr. Moore, like Mr. Hogan, seems inclined to tamp down the incendiary tribal politics that has polarized the nation.
Mr. Moore sought, and received, the endorsement of the Maryland Fraternal Order of Police, the main police union, despite the unease on his party’s left flank with law enforcement. He has broached the idea of cutting Maryland’s inheritance tax, an idea that, whatever its wisdom on the merits — we have our doubts, given the $50 million annual hit to state coffers — would appeal to lawmakers and voters well beyond Mr. Moore’s core Democratic base.
Undeniably, Mr. Moore is a liberal. But assertions that he is a “socialist,” as Mr. Cox claims, strain credulity, as a glance at his résumé attests. In addition to his work as a nonprofit CEO, Mr. Moore spent more than five years as an investment banker in New York, was a White House fellow during the administration of President George W. Bush, and founded a fee-based enterprise to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds in their transition to college.
Those are as plausibly the credentials of a Republican as a Democrat, and they justifiably raise the expectation among Marylanders that as governor he would aspire to appeal to a broad constituency.
It is impossible to say the same about Mr. Cox, a 48-year-old former high school teacher who practices law in Frederick. He called then-Vice President Mike Pence a “traitor” for not having impeded the certification of a legitimate election, and Mr. Cox has demonstrated his affinity with QAnon, the crackpot fable that conjures an international cabal led by Democratic pedophiles.
Mr. Moore is easily the more substantive of the two candidates. His website presents detailed analyses and prescriptions for protecting veterans, and elderly and disabled Americans, juicing the economy, improving health care and education, alleviating poverty and the racial wealth gap, and reforming criminal justice. He would fund savings accounts for every baby born to impoverished families and invest heavily to upgrade Morgan State University in Baltimore, the state’s biggest historically Black institution of higher education.
Our endorsement does not come without reservations. We don’t agree with Mr. Moore across the board, and he was not our top pick in the crowded Democratic primary he narrowly won in July. On transportation, a key concern for traffic-weary commuters in the Washington suburbs, he vows to ease congestion but seems determined to satisfy special interests that reliably oppose major highway and transit proposals. He’s had little to say about supporting Metro, on which hundreds of thousands of residents from Montgomery and Prince George’s counties depend, after federal pandemic subsidies run dry next summer.
If he wins, as it is expected he will, Mr. Moore also must be held to account when his campaign promises meet hard fiscal and economic reality. He has laid out an ambitious blueprint for improving public schools and other social challenges, yet it’s unclear how the state would afford it all. Some of his proposals seem pie-in-the-sky, including a plan for clean energy investments that could drive up electric bills by depriving Marylanders of cheap power from neighboring states.
Beyond his stances on issues, Mr. Moore offers a personal history that is compelling and inspirational. A young boy who struggled after his father’s death, he spent a chunk of his childhood amid poverty in the Bronx and won a Rhodes Scholarship after graduating from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. In his late 20s, he wrote “The Other Wes Moore,” a memoir contrasting his own dizzying trajectory with that of another young man of the same name who grew up in Baltimore and was convicted of killing a highly decorated police sergeant.
The book’s opening passages preview a “story of two boys living in Baltimore” and “on the same streets.” Those lines, among others, have been the springboard for controversy — specifically, that Mr. Moore disingenuously cultivated the impression that he was born or grew up in Baltimore. In fact, he did not live in Baltimore until he was 20 years old, as a college student. Still, he spent substantial time there as a teenager during school breaks from a military academy in Pennsylvania. He clearly identifies with the city, where he has lived for a decade.
Mr. Moore has the makings of a fine governor. He is hands-down the better choice in November’s election. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/01/wes-moore-maryland-governor-endorsement-2022/ | 2022-10-01 12:30:46 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/01/wes-moore-maryland-governor-endorsement-2022/ |
Alex Jones ordered to pay Sandy Hook parents more than $4M
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury on Thursday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay more than $4 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, marking the first time the Infowars host has been held financially liable for repeatedly claiming the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Austin jury must still decide how much the Infowars host must pay in punitive damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators who were killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.
The parents had sought at least $150 million in compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Jones’ attorney asked the jury to limit damages to $8 — one dollar for each of the compensation charges they are considering — and Jones himself said any award over $2 million “would sink us.”
It likely won’t be the last judgment against Jones — who was not in the courtroom — over his claims that the attack was staged in the interests of increasing gun controls. A Connecticut judge has ruled against him in a similar lawsuit brought by other victims’ families and an FBI agent who worked on the case.
Jones’ lead attorney, Andino Reynal, winked at his co-counsel before leaving the courtroom. He declined to comment on the verdict.
Outside the courthouse, the plaintiffs’ attorney Mark Bankston insisted that the $4.11 million amount wasn’t a disappointment, noting it was only part of the damages Jones will have to pay.
The jury returns Friday to hear more evidence about Jones and his company’s finances.
“We aren’t done folks,” Bankston said. “We knew coming into this case it was necessary to shoot for the moon to get the jury to understand we were serious and passionate. After tomorrow, he’s going to owe a lot more.”
The total amount awarded in this case could set a marker for the other lawsuits against Jones and underlines the financial threat he’s facing. It also raises new questions about the ability of Infowars — which has been banned from YouTube, Spotify and Twitter for hate speech — to continue operating, although the company’s finances remain unclear.
Jones, who has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights, conceded during the trial that the attack was “100% real” and that he was wrong to have lied about it. But Heslin and Lewis told jurors that an apology wouldn’t suffice and called on them to make Jones pay for the years of suffering he has put them and other Sandy Hook families through.
The parents testified Tuesday about how they’ve endured a decade of trauma, inflicted first by the murder of their son and what followed: gun shots fired at a home, online and phone threats, and harassment on the street by strangers. They said the threats and harassment were all fueled by Jones and his conspiracy theory spread to his followers via his website Infowars.
A forensic psychiatrist testified that the parents suffer from “complex post-traumatic stress disorder” inflicted by ongoing trauma, similar to what might be experienced by a soldier at war or a child abuse victim.
At one point in her testimony, Lewis looked directly at Jones, who was sitting barely 10 feet away.
“It seems so incredible to me that we have to do this — that we have to implore you, to punish you — to get you to stop lying,” Lewis told Jones.
Barry Covert, a Buffalo, New York, First Amendment lawyer, said the $4 million in compensatory damages was lower than he would have expected given the evidence and testimony.
“But I don’t think Jones can take this as a victory,” he added. “The fact is, $4 million is significant even if we might have thought it would be a little higher.”
Jurors often decline to award any punitive damages when deciding on a compensation figure. But when they choose to, the punitive amount is often higher, Covert said. He said he expects the parents’ attorneys to argue that jurors should send the message that no one should profit off defamation.
“They will want jurors to send the message that you can’t make a quarter of a billion in profit off harming someone and say you’ll just take the damages loss in court,” Covert said.
Jones was the only witness to testify in his defense. And he came under withering attack from the plaintiffs attorneys under cross-examination, as they reviewed Jones’ own video claims about Sandy Hook over the years, and accused him of lying and trying to hide evidence, including text messages and emails about the attack. It also included internal emails sent by an Infowars employee that said “this Sandy Hook stuff is killing us.”
At one point, Jones was told that his attorneys had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years’ worth of texts from Jones’ cellphone. Bankston said in court Thursday that the U.S. House Jan. 6 committee investigating the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol has requested the records and that he intends to comply.
And shortly after Jones declared “I don’t use email,” Jones was shown one that came from his address, and another one from an Infowars business officer telling Jones that the company had earned $800,000 gross in selling its products in a single day, which would amount to nearly $300 million in a year.
Jones’ media company Free Speech Systems, which is Infowars’ parent company, filed for bankruptcy during the two-week trial.

BEIJING – China says it will resume issuing ordinary visas and passports in another big step away from anti-virus controls that isolated the country for almost three years, setting up a potential flood of millions of Chinese going abroad for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday.
The announcement Tuesday adds to abrupt changes that are rolling back some of the world’s strictest anti-virus controls as President Xi Jinping's government tries to reverse an economic slump. Rules that confined millions of people to their homes kept China’s infection rate low but fueled public frustration and crushed economic growth.
The latest decision could send an influx of free-spending Chinese tourists to revenue-starved destinations in Asia and Europe for Lunar New Year, which begins Jan. 22. But it also presents a danger they might spread COVID-19 as infections surge in China.
China stopped issuing visas to foreigners and passports to its own people at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.
The National Immigration Administration of China said it will start taking applications Jan. 8 for passports for tourists to go abroad. It said it will resume issuing approval for tourists and businesspeople to visit Hong Kong, a Chinese territory with its own border controls.
The agency said it will take applications for ordinary visas and residence permits. It said the government will “gradually resume” allowing in foreign visitors and gave no indication when full-scale tourist travel from abroad might be allowed.
Health experts and economists expected the ruling Communist Party to keep restrictions on travel into China until at least mid-2023 while it carries out a campaign to vaccinate millions of elderly people. Experts say that is necessary to prevent a public health crisis.
During the pandemic, Chinese with family emergencies or whose work travel was deemed important could obtain passports, but some students and businesspeople with visas to go to foreign countries were blocked by border guards from leaving. The handful of foreign businesspeople and others who were allowed into China were quarantined for up to one week.
Before the pandemic, China was the biggest source of foreign tourists for most of its Asian neighbors and an important market for Europe and the United States.
The government has dropped or eased most quarantine, testing and other restrictions within China, joining the United States, Japan and other governments in trying to live with the virus instead of stamping out transmission.
Japan and India responded to China’s surge in infections by requiring virus tests for travelers from the country. U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to relate internal discussions, said Washington is considering taking similar steps.
On Monday, the government said it would scrap quarantine requirements for travelers arriving from abroad, also effective Jan. 8. Foreign companies welcomed the change as an important step to revive slumping business activity.
Business groups have warned global companies were shifting investment away from China because foreign executives were blocked from visiting.
The American Chamber of Commerce in China says more than 70% of companies that responded to a poll this month expect the impact of the latest wave of outbreaks to last no more than three months, ending in early 2023.
The government has stopped reporting nationwide case numbers but announcements by some cities indicate at least tens and possibly hundreds of millions of people might have been infected since the surge began in early October.
The outbreaks prompted complaints Beijing relaxed controls too abruptly. Officials say the wave began before the changes.
China only counts deaths from pneumonia or respiratory failure in its official COVID-19 toll, a health official said last week. That excludes many deaths other countries would attribute to COVID-19.
Experts have forecast 1 to 2 million deaths in China through the end of 2023.
Also Monday, the government downgraded COVID-19 from a Class A infectious disease to a Class B disease and removed it from the list of illnesses that require quarantine. It said authorities would stop tracking down close contacts and designating areas as being at high or low risk of infection.

In late May, the Washington Commanders stoked great curiosity with the purchase of 200 acres of land in Woodbridge. After months of legislative debate over the creation of a stadium authority to help publicly finance a new facility, the NFL franchise seemed to be inching closer to establishing a home in Virginia.
The $3 billion sports and entertainment complex would be anchored by a 55,000-seat domed field. One study estimates $24.7 billion in direct economic impact, along with 2,246 jobs generated by 2033. The Times-Dispatch recently reported that “a person with knowledge of the project’s development said the goal isn’t to attract the largest events on a sporadic basis, but to create a strong environment for the team every Sunday at home games.”
People are also reading…
What about the surrounding environment? How will the project serve Virginians who call the area home all year long? How will it affect travelers who use an already crowded Interstate 95?
“As far as we understand, the team is exploring all of their options, including where they currently own land,” said Christina Winn, executive director of Prince William County’s Department of Economic Development, in a May statement. “While this news doesn’t mean the team has officially chosen Prince William County, we look forward to engaging with the team to ensure any development opportunity would be a good fit for the community and there is a positive economic and fiscal benefit to the county.”
Winn’s comment should be the commonwealth’s compass in any stadium discussions. In dealings with the Commanders, patience must win out for Virginia.
Two items are of greater importance than the grandeur of a sold-out crowd watching a winning product.
First is transportation. Shortly after the Woodbridge land announcement dropped, a handful of Northern Virginia lawmakers soured on the idea, citing concerns about traffic. One example: A February 2020 study by TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit, found drivers in the region lose up to $2,015 annually and sit for up to 102 hours per year in congested settings.
A separate Commanders proposal in Sterling would have involved access to a Metrorail station along the expanded Silver Line — but not without comparable mobility concerns.
“Transportation is so critical to my district,” said state Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-Prince William, in a recent WTOP report. “There’s no way I can vote for it without seeing some extraordinary investment and innovation. I don’t think any of those conversations have yet to be developed and take place. I got to see it before anything moves forward.”
State Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax City, also noted in a recent statement: “the development is too far removed from an urban setting, unlike Nats Park at The Navy Yard, which will make it solely dependent on vehicle traffic for access. More importantly, I don’t have confidence in the Washington Commanders as a viable NFL franchise.”
Petersen’s lack of confidence leads into the second issue: trust. Owner Daniel Snyder and his team are under investigation over claims of sexual and financial misconduct. This past week, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform invited Snyder and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to a June 22 hearing addressing workplace culture issues within the club.
While the economic drumbeat generated by the team and its associated stadium advocates is worth listening to, what’s the rush? Ben Standig of The Athletic notes the Commanders’ deadline to exit FedEx Field appears to be self-imposed at best. The team is contractually locked in to playing in Maryland until 2027 and moreover, “Dan Snyder owns the team, the stadium and roughly 200 acres around the site where a replacement stadium could live.”
Until a Virginia-centered proposal meets the criteria outlined by Winn — a good fit for the community, along with positive economic and fiscal benefits for the selected locality — the commonwealth should keep setting the timeline, not the team. Until transportation and trust issues are better addressed, patience must win out.

ARADE DAM, Portugal (AP) — Police on Tuesday renewed the search for Madeleine McCann, the British child who disappeared in 2007 in Portugal, with officers digging and scraping the surface of land near a dam close to where she went missing.
About 20 officers with rakes and hoe-like tools spread out in a line and began poking and raking the soil close to the Arade dam, which is located about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the resort of Praia da Luz, where the 3-year-old girl was last seen 16 years ago.
Police also used a drone to scan the area from above and searched with sniffer dogs on both sides of the dam. Firefighters also carried out searches on the reservoir in a dinghy.
There were no immediate details on what progress was being made.
A media briefing is expected at the end of the searches Wednesday or Thursday.
The operation, headed by Portuguese police aided by German and British colleagues, was announced Monday. Portuguese officials said it followed a request from German authorities.
Portuguese police on Monday had set up several tents and cordoned off the area to the media and public. More than a dozen cars and police vans arrived early Tuesday.
Between 20 and 30 officers, some in uniform, were in the area. Witnesses said that police began searching shortly before 8 a.m.
Portuguese media say this is the fourth search for McCann, following the initial one in 2007 in the Algarve area and further efforts in 2013 and 2014. Another search was held in Germany in 2020.
This search is believed to be the first in the area of the dam by police, but this couldn’t be immediately confirmed.
The reservoir is currently less than half full owing to a drought affecting Portugal and neighboring Spain. The area where police were working with the tools would be below water in years of normal rainfall.
In mid-2020, German officials said that a 45-year-old German citizen, identified by media as Christian Brueckner, who was in the Algarve in 2007, was a suspect in the case. Brueckner has denied any involvement.
Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for raping a 72-year-old woman in Portugal in 2005.
He is under investigation on suspicion of murder in the McCann case but hasn’t been charged. He spent many years in Portugal, including in Praia da Luz, around the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
German prosecutors in Braunschweig said in a written statement Tuesday that criminal procedural measures were taking place in Portugal as part of the Madeleine McCann case and that officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office were taking part.
The statement said more detailed information could not be given for “investigative tactical reasons.”
The case of Madeleine McCann stirred worldwide interest for several years, with reports of sightings of her stretching as far away as Australia, along with a slew of books and television documentaries about the case.
Rewards for finding Madeleine, who would now be 20, reached several million dollars.
British, Portuguese and German police are still piecing together what happened on the night when the toddler disappeared from her bed in the southern Portuguese resort on May 3, 2007. She was in the same room as her twin brother and sister, who were 2 at the time, while her parents had dinner with friends at a nearby restaurant.
Referring to the latest searches, Braunschweig prosecutor Christian Wolters said Tuesday that the probe was being held “on the basis of certain tips,” but declined to give further details.
Madeleine’s parents are not commenting due to the active investigation, according to an email response from the website set up for the search for the child, findmadeleine.com.

Arena's opportunistic credit fund exceeds target, follows strong performance of Fund I
NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arena Investors, LP ("Arena"), a global institutional asset manager specializing in opportunistic, asset and yield oriented investments, today announced the final close of Arena Special Opportunities Partners II, LP and Arena Special Opportunities Partners (Cayman) II, LP ("Fund," "Fund II"). The Fund is oversubscribed at approximately $930 million of committed capital, including separately managed accounts investing alongside the Fund. The close exceeds the $750 million target that was set for Fund II, which was launched on July 1, 2021.
Arena's latest Fund invests in asset-backed, credit-oriented investments that either were not the beneficiaries of the increased liquidity environment headed into 2022, or that are now in need of liquidity based on the more recent retrenchment of such liquidity, and the corresponding market volatility that has resulted.
"With an investment strategy grounded in over 25 years of experience investing globally across divergent economic downturns, we believe Arena is well-positioned to find value in all economic environments," said Dan Zwirn, Arena Investors Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. "The COVID-19 pandemic caused newfound disruption to the global economy, and expedited trends we were already seeing five to ten years sooner than expected. While much has changed, Arena's flexible approach has allowed us to adjust quickly and continually identify attractive opportunities to deliver value to our investors. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, regardless of potential market uncertainty."
Arena's opportunistic special-situations approach has enabled the firm to provide investors with access to diverse investments across market cycles, with Arena's Fund I (Arena Special Opportunities Partners I, LP and Arena Special Opportunities Partners (Cayman) I, LP) thus far achieving an estimated net MOIC of 1.44x from March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022, with additional upside to the targeted returns coming in the form of embedded optionality, which Arena seeks to structure into its bespoke investments. In addition to several new investors, all investors in Fund I made commitments into Fund II.
Arena Investors, LP is an institutional asset manager founded in partnership with The Westaim Corporation (TSXV: WED). With nearly $4 billion of invested and committed assets under management as of August 1, 2022, and a team of over 100 employees in offices globally, Arena provides creative solutions for those seeking capital in special situations. The firm has individuals with decades of experience, a track record of comfort with complexity, the ability to deliver within time constraints, and the flexibility to engage in transactions that cannot be addressed by banks and other conventional financial institutions. See www.arenaco.com for more information.
All returns are calculated net of annual management fees of 2% and an incentive fee of 20%, which represent the standard fees charged to the Fund investors. The returns are inclusive of a 0.5% asset servicing expense. All returns are based on the reinvestment of principal, interest and dividends. The returns presented are as of June 30, 2022, with final returns through May 31. 2022 and estimates results for June 2022. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Actual results may vary.

**Related Video Above: Baker Mayfield recently spoke with media saying he was ready to move on.**
BEREA, Ohio (WJW) — The Cleveland Browns traded quarterback Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers, WJW has confirmed.
NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport said the trade is for a draft pick.
“A new QB in Carolina: The #Panthers are acquiring former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield from the #Browns for a 2024 conditional 5th-round draft pick, sources tell me and @TomPelissero,” Rapoport tweeted. “Deal is pending a physical. All parties split the financials to make it happen.”
Mayfield, 26, had asked for a trade before the Deshaun Watson deal was finalized, but the Browns were reportedly not accommodating that request. That obviously changed when Cleveland landed the embattled Texans QB.
Mayfield tweeted a “thank you” message to Browns fans last month.
“The past 4 years have been nothing short of truly life-changing since I heard my name called in the draft to go to Cleveland. This is not a message with hidden meaning. This is is strictly to thank the city of Cleveland for embracing my family and me. We have made many memories and shared growing in this process through all the ups and downs. I have no clue what happens next, which is the meaning behind the silence I have had during the duration of this process. I can only control what I can, which is trusting in God’s plan throughout this process,” Mayfield said.
Mayfield was the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and made his league debut against the Jets in Week 3 to end the Browns’ 19-game winless streak.
He dealt with a shoulder injury for much of last season and threw for more than 3,000 yards with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Browns finished 8-9.
The season prior, the former Heisman Trophy winner led Cleveland to its first playoff win since 1995. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/browns-trade-baker-mayfield-to-carolina-panthers/ | 2022-07-06 19:43:02 | 1 | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/browns-trade-baker-mayfield-to-carolina-panthers/ |

Here’s what we learned about the plans:
WHAT HAPPENED? Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson Foods Inc. said it will close its chicken processing plant at 13264 Mountain Road in Glen Allen effective May 12.
HOW MANY WORKERS ARE INVOLVED? The company said 692 positions will be eliminated.
WHAT THE COMPANY SAID "After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to close our processing, broiler and hatching operations at our Glen Allen, Virginia, plant effective May 12, 2023, and shift demand to other Tyson Foods facilities. While the decision was not easy, it reflects our broader strategy to strengthen our poultry business by optimizing operations and utilizing the full available capacity at each plant," Tyson Foods said in a statement.
ABOUT TYSON OPERATIONS IN VIRGINIA Tyson acquired the Glen Allen plant in the late 1980s from Holly Farms Poultry Industries. The company also has a plant in Temperanceville and Danville. Tyson employed about 2,000 people across the state as of August 2021.
WHAT’S NEXT? A representative for United Food & Commercial Workers Local 400 union said they’ll start negotiations for severance, vacation payouts, health insurance and other workforce transition issues within 60 days.
The Glen Allen announcement came the same day 34 Tyson Foods employees, former employees and family members filed a lawsuit against the company, saying it failed to take appropriate precautions at its meat-packing plants during the early days of the COVID pandemic .

Design expert Ty Pennington is opening up about his initial reaction after he decided to leave "Trading Spaces," which launched his career back in 2000.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Pennington explained that it was "a ballsy move when it's the greatest job you've ever had."
"I was on the road so much, I started losing the clients I had, and so I could really only just work on the house I lived in, which means I was losing the income I was making," Pennington, who was the carpenter on half the "Trading Spaces" shows at the time, said.
"So, I was hit with sort of a tough decision. I tried to get a raise and that wasn't going to happen."
He continued, "There was a moment that I screamed like all night because I realized I'd made a mistake, but I got lucky and it paid off. But that's in life. Sometimes you got to really -- it's like you got to play cards. You got to. You got to take a chance. And I got lucky."
After "Trading Spaces," Pennington landed the hosting gig for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," which ran from 2004-2012.
'TRADING SPACES,' 'EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION' STAR TY PENNINGTON OPENS UP ABOUT PIONEERING CELEBRITY DESIGNER CRAZE
Fast-forward to today, Pennington is in the fourth season of his new show, "Rock the Block," which debuted on March 6. The contractor explained that fans should have high expectations for the new season.
Pennington told Fox News Digital that this season – which is featured in Colorado – has some of the biggest, most expensive homes that have been seen on the HGTV competition series.
"I'm just incredibly proud of these teams. They really knocked it out. I think I expected them to be good… I didn't expect them to all be as great as they were," he shared.
Pennington noted that the contestants on the show had to put their lives on pause for two months, head to Colorado and compete against their peers, who are the best of the best.
"So, I think it's also important to know that each time, like each episode, they're getting a little bit more tired, a little bit more frazzled and a little bit more emotional. But because of that, you also get some really good drama. It's good TV," he said.
The fourth season features four teams: Bryan and Sarah Baeumler from "Rennovation Island," Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle from "Luxe for Less," Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin from "Farmhouse Fixer" and Page Turner and Mitch Glew from "Fix My Flip."
"There's a bond that's created when you work with not only a team, but also like these guys who work with builders and people that are helping out the builders, you become like this team for this one moment, for this one cause," Pennington noted.
For his part, Pennington also reflected on the reason he got into the business in the first place.
"There's like a positivity that comes out of nowhere saying, ‘Well, just imagine what the reaction is going to be when they see this for the first time,’ and then you realize again how important it is what you're doing," he explained.
Pennington added that due to a near-fatal car crash that ended a short-lived modeling career, he was able to really get started on designing and home renovating.
"So if I hadn't gotten out of that industry, I would have still like been sticking around doing God knows what," he said. "It changed my trajectory."
As Pennington's career has progressed, so has home renovating. Pennington shared that thanks to the "interweb," ideas are flying through his phone, pushing creative boundaries.
"I'm a big stickler for like, show me something different," he explained.

Outside of work, Pennington and his wife, Kellee Merrell, recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary.
"We took some time and went out to one of our favorite places," he said. "When you're with somebody that has a really great sense of humor, it's spending that time, and it's the laughter that is everything."
He added, "I like to think that I'm blessed. We'll continue to celebrate our union."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Fisk University women's gymnastics program, the first at a Historically Black College and University at the NCAA level, will make its team debut on Jan. 6 at the inaugural “Super 16” in Las Vegas.
The two-day invitational will be held Jan. 6-7 at Orleans Arena. The field includes each of the last three programs to win an NCAA championship: Oklahoma, Michigan and UCLA.
Sunisa Lee, the all-around champion at the 2020 Olympics, will compete along with her teammates at Auburn. Lee, a sophomore, earlier announced it will be her final season with the Tigers. She plans to return to elite competition in the summer of 2023.
Jade Carey, a gold medalist at the 2020 Olympics and 2022 world championships and a sophomore at Oregon State, also will compete.
The Nashville-based Fisk, which launched its program last November, is coached by Corrinne Tarver. She was the first Black gymnast to win an NCAA women's all-around title while at Georgia in 1989.
The event will be divided into four-team sessions, with team, all-around and event champions being awarded in each session.

Growing up in mid-sized Virginia Beach, Andrew Waldholtz wanted to live in a big city so he moved to the District of Columbia for college. After four years in the comparatively expensive city, he realized he wanted a place to live that was more affordable.
Waldholtz, 35, eventually found a happy compromise in St. Louis whose Midwestern affordability and opportunities to build his career in corporate compliance had the added bonus that his sister and brother-in-law lived there.
Now living 940 miles (1,513 kilometers) away from Virginia Beach, Waldholtz is in a distinct minority among others who reached adulthood in the 21st century in that he resides a half-continent away from where he grew up, according to a new study by U.S. Census Bureau and Harvard University researchers released Monday.
The study found that by age 26 more than two-thirds of young adults in the U.S. lived in the same area where they grew up, 80% had moved less than 100 miles (161 kilometers) away and 90% resided less than 500 miles (804 kilometers) away. Migration distances were shorter for Black and Hispanic individuals, compared to white and Asian young adults, and the children of higher income parents traveled farther away from their hometowns than those of less wealthy parents, according to the study.
“For many individuals, the ‘radius of economic opportunity’ is quite narrow,” the report said.
Young adulthood is a period in life when migration is highest in the U.S. The study looked at the likelihood of people born primarily between 1984 and 1992 moving away from the commuting zone they grew up in. Commuting zones are made up of one or more counties that reflect a local labor market, and there are more than 700 commuting zones in the U.S. The birth range in the study overlaps the generation typically referred to as millennials.
It turns out that the most common destinations for young adults were concentrated near where they grew up, said the study which utilized decennial census, survey and tax data.
For instance, three quarters of people who grew up in the Chicago area stayed there. Rockford was the top destination for people who moved away and stayed in Illinois but only represented less than 1% of the young adults from Chicago. Los Angeles was the top destination for those who moved out of state but that accounted for only 1.1% of young adults from Chicago, according to an interactive data tool that accompanies the study.
Where young adults moved to varied by race.
Atlanta was the most popular destination for young Black adults moving away from their hometowns, followed by Houston and Washington. Young Black adults who grew up in high-income households were multiple times more likely to move to these cities in a “New Great Migration” than those from low-income families, according to the study.
For white adults leaving their hometowns, New York, Los Angeles, Washington and Denver were the most population destinations. Los Angeles and New York were the top two destinations for Asians and Hispanic young adults. San Antonio and Phoenix also were popular with Hispanics, while San Francisco also appealed to Asian young adults.
Despite the region’s economic woes and the prospect of job opportunities elsewhere, young adults in Appalachia were less likely to move far from their hometowns compared to those of similar incomes living elsewhere, the report said.
The reluctance of millennials to move far away is backed up by recent studies showing declines in mobility in the U.S. for the overall population. In the middle of the last century, about a fifth of U.S. residents, not just young adults, moved each year. That figure has dropped steadily since the 1950s, going from about 20% to 8.4% last year, due to an aging population, dual-income households that make it more difficult to pick up and move and, more recently, the pandemic, according to a recent report from Brookings.
A Pew Research Center survey released last week showed that a quarter of U.S. adults ages 25 to 34 resided in a multigenerational family household in 2021, up from 9% in 1971. The age groups in the Pew study and the study by the Census Bureau and Harvard University researchers overlap to some degree.
When there were wage gains in a local labor market, most of the benefits went to residents who grew up within 100 miles (161 kilometers) rather than people who had migrated to the area. Wage increases’ effect on migration to an area was rather small, and migrants likely would have moved there regardless of wage hikes. Young Black adults were less likely to move to a place because of wage hikes compared to white and Hispanic millennials, said the study released Monday.
Waldholtz, who is white, graduated into the recession in 2008 and went back to Virginia Beach for work. “Probably the worst time ever to be looking for a job,” he said. He eventually went to law school in Ohio and prioritized work opportunities when deciding where to live after graduation three years later.
“All of us need a job to pay our bills,” Waldholtz said. “That factor has to be the most important factor.”

A Maryland appellate court on Tuesday reinstated Adnan Syed's murder conviction and ordered a new hearing in the case, marking the latest development in the protracted legal odyssey chronicled in the hit podcast "Serial."
Though Syed's conviction has been reinstated, he will not immediately be taken back into custody.
In a 2-1 decision released Tuesday, the Appellate Court of Maryland ruled a lower court failed to give sufficient notice to the victim’s family when it scheduled the September hearing that vacated Syed’s conviction and allowed him to regain his freedom after more than two decades behind bars.
The court's order does not go into effect for 60 days.
Maryland law provides victims with the right to prior notice of such hearings, and that right was violated in the case of Hae Min Lee's brother, the appellate court ruled. Syed was convicted of killing Lee, his high school ex-girlfriend whose body was found in a makeshift grave after her disappearance in 1999.
NEW ABORTION CLINIC OPENING IN MARYLAND, JUST ACROSS FROM DEEPLY-CONSERVATIVE WEST VIRGINIA
Baltimore prosecutors moved to vacate Syed's conviction in September after they reviewed the case and found alternative suspects and unreliable evidence used at trial. The lower court then quickly scheduled a hearing on the state's motion to vacate.
Lee's brother, Young Lee, was notified on a Friday afternoon that the hearing would take place the following Monday. Giving him only one business day before the hearing was "insufficient time to reasonably allow Mr. Lee, who lived in California, to attend the hearing in person," instead requiring him to attend remotely, the appellate court ruled.
Young Lee attended the hearing via Zoom after the judge denied his request to postpone the proceedings one week to allow his in-person attendance.
The Lee family spent decades believing justice had been served, only to be treated as an afterthought when prosecutors decided their case was actually flawed from the beginning, their attorneys have argued. The appellate court largely agreed.
"Allowing a victim entitled to attend a court proceeding to attend in person, when the victim makes that request and all other persons involved in the hearing appear in person, is consistent with the constitutional requirement that victims be treated with dignity and respect," the court ruled.
After Syed's conviction was vacated, Baltimore prosecutors had 30 days to decide whether to retry him. They announced their decision to drop the charges eight days before the deadline was up — while an appeal from the Lee family was pending.
The appellate judges interrogated that timeline and concluded the state acted "with the purpose ... of preventing Mr. Lee from obtaining a ruling on the appeal," which Syed's attorneys later argued was moot because there were no underlying charges.
During oral arguments last month, the three-judge panel focused much of their questioning on whether the appeal should be considered moot.
"It makes all the difference in the world if the case is moot," Judge Stuart Berger said during the hearing.
The judges stated their obligation to correct the lower court's violations, "as long we can do so without violating Mr. Syed's right to be free from double jeopardy," meaning he would face prosecution twice for the same crime.
"We can do that, and accordingly, we vacate the circuit court’s order vacating Mr. Syed's convictions, which results in the reinstatement of the original convictions and sentence," the ruling said. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/maryland-appellate-court-reinstates-adnan-syed-s-murder-conviction-orders-new-hearing/article_d3230a27-78dc-536d-a0cc-0a0a1aaf684d.html | 2023-03-28 23:00:53 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/maryland-appellate-court-reinstates-adnan-syed-s-murder-conviction-orders-new-hearing/article_d3230a27-78dc-536d-a0cc-0a0a1aaf684d.html |

For now, Clear Lake's softball team has an advantage over Algona. Still, the two North Central Conference rivals could meet in the regional semifinals in about a week.
And if it is anything like Friday's regular season finale, it could be a thriller.
The Lions scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth to post a come-from-behind 8-6 triumph over the Bulldogs to close conference play and take a five-game winning streak into the postseason.
They are on the same side of the Class 3A Region 3 bracket. If they win their quarterfinal matchups on Wednesday, they'll meet in a semi on Friday in Algona.
It was a back-and-forth affair on Friday.
Clear Lake (8-13, 6-8 NCC) led 3-2 after the first inning and 4-3 after the third. Algona rallied with three runs in the top of the fifth to lead by two only for the Lions to get the lead right back after the sixth.
Annika Nelson had three hits, including a home run, to pair with four runs batted in for Clear Lake. Layne Lester notched two hits and two RBIs while Emily Theiss had a pair of hits out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup.

North Butler 12, Rockford 2: The Bearcats led from the first inning on and eventually run-ruled the Warriors in a Class 1A Region 4 first round contest at home on Friday night.
It was a four-run opening frame by North Butler, who advances to face Riceville on Wednesday in a quarterfinal contest. First pitch is slated for 7 p.m. It added four more in the third and two apiece in the fourth and fifth innings.
Rockford (6-16) avoided the shutout with two runs in the fourth. Eighth grader Danika deBuhr recorded two hits and sophomore Haylie Rasing belted a two-run home run. It graduates four seniors, but everyone else is expected back.
AGWSR 19, Northwood-Kensett 0: Eleven runs in the first inning allowed the Cougars to waltz their way to a Class 1A Region 4 first round shutout win over the Vikings on Friday night.
Awaiting AGWSR in the quarterfinals on Wednesday is No. 12 St. Edmond. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Cougars tallied eight more runs in the second to cruise to a win.

Mason City 19-23, Des Moines North 0-0: Double digit runs in one inning during both games allowed the Riverhawks to coast to a CIML sweep over the Polar Bears on Friday.
Carter Thomas made history for Mason City as his 14th triple broke a single season record in the state. The Wayne State recruit had four hits and seven RBIs across the doubleheader.

Gold finished with three RBIs in the nightcap as did Kellar Malek, who also registered three hits. Rivera, Wiemann, Malek and Kaden Tyler all crossed home plate three times. Tyler and James Fingalsen earned victories on the mound for the Riverhawks.
South Winneshiek 4, Charles City 3: A single run in the top of the first inning proved to be the difference as the Warriors triumphed over the Comets in a non-conference battle on Friday.

Newman Catholic 10, Dike-New Hartford 0: In a top-10 battle in the two smallest classifications, it was the Class 1A No. 2 Knights that breezed by the 2A No. 7 Wolverines in a regular season finale on Friday night.

It could take years longer for a rooftop solar installation to pay for itself.
A big change to how solar energy is measured in California goes into effect tomorrow, reframing how economical it may be for many homeowners to buy a system in the largest solar market in the US.
Previously, whatever excess energy a photovoltaic system generated was fed back to the grid and the homeowner received a near dollar-for-dollar credit on their electricity bill. This is called "net metering."
Starting April 15, though, new solar rooftop setups will earn a much smaller credit for each excess kilowatt. About 75% smaller, according to the California Solar and Storage Association, the state's largest solar trade organization.
The intention is to get solar users to install home batteries that store energy for later use, CALSSA has said, rather than just sending it back to the grid. Homeowners could then decide when to return the energy, taking advantage of higher pricing at night and in winter to get a larger credit.
But CALSSA Executive Director Bernadette Del Chiaro has warned that the change to what's called "net billing" will have a chilling effect on California's booming solar market. She called the change "the largest cut to the value of solar in US history."
"For middle-class and working-class neighborhoods where solar is growing fastest, it puts clean energy further out of reach," Del Chiaro said in a statement.
The change affects customers of California's three largest investor-owned utilities: Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric.
Combined, they serve about three-quarters of the state's population.

Existing rooftop systems are grandfathered in, but unless you have a sales contract and a completed interconnection application filed with your utility company by April 14, you'll be under the new net billing system.
Currently, a solar panel system pays for itself in about six years. Under the new rules, Del Chiaro told San Diego's CBS 8, "we are kicking that to 10 years or further."
Not everyone sees net billing as a bad thing, though. Suzanne Leta, head of policy and strategy at residential solar company SunPower, said customers who combine a rooftop setup with a battery will enjoy even more savings now.
Homeowners who don't add a battery will still save, Leta told CNET, "it just won't be as robust."
While a battery may be the best value in the long run, she admitted "the upfront cost is not unsubstantial."
A home battery backup system can run more than $15,000 before installation, according to CNET sister site SaveOnEnergy.
There are more than 1,100 companies installing solar panels in California. Since the regulations were approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in December, they're all being flooded with applications.
SunPower started telling people on April 1 it couldn't guarantee they would make the deadline.
"We've really been focusing on educating consumers about the new program," Leta said. "This is still the best time to go solar. Electricity rates are only going to go up and we want to make sure people don't just give up now." | https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/californias-solar-incentives-what-todays-huge-change-means-for-savings/ | 2023-04-14 17:53:43 | 1 | https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/californias-solar-incentives-what-todays-huge-change-means-for-savings/ |
MONTEREY, Calif., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the beginning of the new school year, Retro Stage, a popular vintage fashion brand, is excited to announce the launch of its Homecoming Collection. This collection features a wide range of stylish and comfortable clothing options that are perfect for the back-to-school season. By offering exclusive discounts, Retro Stage hopes to help students start the school year off confidently.
"We look forward to our back-to-school-themed releases every year because they're a meaningful way for us to interact with and get back to the guests we serve," said the Retro Stage team. "Through this tradition, we have the chance to participate in the students' academic year, encouraging them to embrace life and show off their inherent beauty and confidence. We also want to provide students with a variety of options. This is a great opportunity for us."
Retro Stage is committed to providing high-quality, affordable fashion. The Homecoming Collection, which features dresses in various materials and styles, including solid colors, lace, sequins, and velvet, is a shining example of this commitment. With avant-garde designs and trendy colorways, it is perfect for the back-to-school season. In addition, this year's student discount makes the Homecoming Collection more affordable than ever, giving students access to vintage fashion at the best prices. If students are looking to add a touch of vintage glamour to their school wardrobe, be sure to stop by the Retro Stage website and take advantage of their back-to-school promotion.
When it comes to homecoming dances, dressing up is the perfect way to get in the mood for a night of fun. Retro Stage has designed a range of solid-colored dresses for those who prefer simpler attire, from classic black to angelic white, from bold red to elegant green, and even playful, lovely pink. For those who like monochromatic clothing, the unique cuts and silhouettes of these dresses are enough to make the wearer stand out from the crowd.
Other people may prefer a simple but not monochromatic design. Retro Stage's designers have kept this in mind. They combine different prints with soft and delicate lace to create elegant and romantic dresses, allowing people to show off their beauty with ease. One example is the White Daisy Dreamer Vintage Dress, in which the delicate and lifelike daisy print is full of vitality, making it seem as if the wearer is surrounded by the fragrance and elegance of flowers. Similarly, on the Sky Blue Butterfly Swing Dress and Purple Butterfly Lace Swing Dress, colorful butterflies give the wearer an endless sense of wonder as well as a real feeling of being in nature.
In this back-to-school collection, there will also be no shortage of glittery gowns that will grab other students' attention right away. For those who want to try a cute style, wearing a Pink Strawberry Swing Dress or a Pink Star Sequin Swing Dress is an excellent way to express a lively and lovely character; for those who want to highlight their sexy charm, they can start with an Orange Halter Pencil Dress or a Strapless Sequin Dress. The striking colors and delicate designs in these pieces can make the wearer move confidently, whether in ballroom dancing or spinning Charleston.
In addition, there are also dresses made from high-quality velvet and flocked fabric. The velvet dress was once a symbol of nobility that stood out on any occasion. As seen in the Wine Red Velvet Bodycon Vintage Dress, the red velvet, evoking the ancient trends of the Middle Ages, is a declaration of classicism and aristocracy. For a dress that will make the wearer feel like a campus star, look no further than the velvet dress. A dress made from flocked fabric is often more luxurious. As the 1960s Green Floral Vintage Dress and 1950s Heart Mesh Sling Dress show, they have raised, textured surfaces and beautiful, three-dimensional looks, allowing the wearer to be outstanding enough to make a statement confidently at the homecoming dance.
For more information, visit https://www.retro-stage.com/ to browse the Homecoming Dress Collection. Customers can use the discount code STU10 at checkout to receive 10% off on one dress, and they can use STU15 to receive 15% off on two dresses.

LONDON, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nord Security, a leading cybersecurity company and creator of NordVPN, is participating in the RSA Conference in San Francisco on April 24-27. The company will present recent developments for its other products, NordPass and NordLayer, that lay the foundations for a passwordless future and allow to provide a stress-free and accessible way to secure network to all businesses, including the most vulnerable ones, namely small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
"While passwords are still relevant and will continue to stay with us for quite some time, progressive companies have started adopting new online authentication technologies, such as passkeys, to limit the human element in cybersecurity. Our research shows that internet users, be they regular internet users, CEOs, or employees of large companies, continuously demonstrate poor password habits, which is one of the reasons for an increase in cybercrimes," says Marija Gecaite, head of sales at NordPass.
NordPass has already joined the FIDO Alliance and delivered its first passwordless solution to support this digital authentication revolution. Just recently, NordPass announced that individual and business users are now able to store and manage passkeys from various websites in NordPass, and use them to access apps and websites.
Nevertheless, weak passwords do not represent the entire scope of businesses' cybersecurity issues. While cybersecurity solutions have become necessary, most SMEs need even more financial and human resources to ensure adequate cybersecurity. With changing working patterns, the risk of threats increases substantially.
"The latest trends show that 53% of the workforce in the US at least partially works remotely. In addition, new ways of working, like workations, global teams, and nomad employees, have become a cybersecurity and organizational nightmare, especially for SMEs. Even the US, which ranks third in the Global Remote Work Index, is too far down in terms of cybersecurity performance (19th). This is why new, easy-to-implement, and accessible solutions are already needed," says Andrius Buinovskis, head of product at NordLayer.
Participants of the conference are welcome to visit the Nord Security stand at the RSA Conference on 24-27 April in the North Hall (N-5150) of the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
ABOUT NORD SECURITY
Nord Security is home to advanced security solutions that share the Nord brand and values, including the world's most advanced VPN service NordVPN, the next-generation password manager NordPass, the file encryption tool NordLocker, and the business VPN/SASE solution NordLayer.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders introduced a former Nevada gambling regulator Thursday as the franchise’s new president, the first Black woman to hold the title with an NFL team.
Team owner Mark Davis said Sandra Douglass Morgan topped his list every time after he spoke to candidates.
“Her experience, integrity and passion for this community will be invaluable to our organization,” Davis said. “From the moment I met Sandra, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. We are extremely lucky to have her at the helm.”
Morgan, the former chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, is the third woman and third African-American to become president of an NFL team.
She is also the latest Raiders hire to break barriers. Former Raiders coach Tom Flores was the first Hispanic head coach to win a Super Bowl title and former coach Art Shell was the first Black head coach of the NFL’s Super Bowl era.
Morgan, who spent eight years with the city of North Las Vegas, was also the first Black city attorney in the state of Nevada when she served in that role from 2013 to 2016.
“I definitely never want to be the last,” Morgan said, “and I want to get to a point where there is no more firsts.”
Morgan emphasized leadership and full transparency during her introductory press conference at Allegiant Stadium.
“We have so much more to do, and I’m excited to be at the helm of that growth and look forward to ushering in the new chapter for the Raiders,” said Morgan. “The fact is I have accepted this role because I believe in the promise of the Raiders, I believe in the future of the Raiders, and I believe in this organization’s tenets of community, integrity, and most of all, commitment to excellence.”
She takes over a team that has endured tumultuous times in its front office, with two presidents and several longtime executives leaving the organization in less than a year.
After Marc Badain resigned as president last summer, Dan Ventrelle took over in July 2021 on an interim basis and was promoted to the full-time role in January.
But Ventrelle was gone less than a year after joining the organization. In a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ventrelle said he was fired in retaliation for bringing concerns from multiple employees to the NFL about a “hostile work environment.”
“It’s no secret that this organization has faced some recent challenges, but I want to be clear, I am not here to sweep anything under the rug or avoid problems or concerns that need to be addressed,” said Morgan. “It is not lost on me that this is a critical and defining moment in the NFL. It’s important to me and it is my intention to make a meaningful contribution well beyond the Raiders family.”
Star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who attended Morgan’s introduction, said Raiders players are excited to start a new chapter.
“It’s incredible,” Crosby said. “First off, just breaking barriers and Mark has done an incredible job and it started with his father. You know, just being transparent and giving everyone an equal opportunity. She’s honestly the best for the job and it’s going to be awesome, we’re excited for the future.”
Coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler welcomed Morgan in a prepared statement.
“We congratulate Sandra Douglass Morgan on her historic hiring as team president and are excited to welcome her into the Raiders family. Sandra brings impressive leadership experience to the organization and we are thrilled to work with her as we continue to build a championship-caliber culture and team,” the statement said.
Morgan’s husband, Don, played with the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals between 1999 and 2002

(WJZY/WGHP) — The 911 call has been released in connection to an apparent murder-suicide in Oklahoma that involved a NASCAR star’s family.
According to reports, Jimmie Johnson’s mother and father-in-law, 68-year-old Terry and 69-year-old Jack Janway, and his 11-year-old nephew, Dalton, died in a fatal shooting on Monday, June 26, and law enforcement sources are investigating it as a murder-suicide.
A police report obtained by Nexstar’s KFOR said a 911 dispatcher received a call just after 9 p.m. Monday from a woman reporting “a disturbance” and saying someone had a gun.
The caller then hung up.
Below is the transcript and audio from the 911 call released Tuesday.
911: 911. Police, fire, or ambulance?
Caller: Police
911: Okay, where at?
Caller: [Address removed]
911: What’s going on?
Caller: There’s somebody here with a gun
911: Do you know who this person is?
Caller: …
911: Do you know who it is?
Police searching the home found one body in the hallway inside the front door and then heard another gunshot. While searching the rest of the home, they found the other two bodies.
“There’s no threat to the community, so it’s looking very likely that it’s a murder-suicide,” Muskogee police officer Lynn Hamlin told the Muskogee Phoenix.
Police said they believe Terry Janway was the shooter, TMZ reports, but do not know what the motive was.
Muskogee Mayor Marlon Coleman told local news station KOKI that he knew the Janway family and had even been a patient of Jack Janway, who ran a successful chiropractic practice.
“It was traumatizing to find out that a long-standing family who had made so many contributions to our community was involved in this type of incident. It was even more bone-chilling to find out there was a child involved,” said Coleman. “Just knowing that it was him and his family took a different toll on me.”
Johnson has been married to Chandra Janway since 2004.

NEW YORK (AP) — Trevor Milton, the founder of the automaker Nikola Corp., went on trial Monday on charges that he whipped up an investor frenzy for the startup company with false claims about its ability to produce trucks that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells.
Nikola’s stock price crashed and many investors suffered heavy losses in 2020 after reports emerged questioning Milton’s rosy claims about the company’s ability to produce cutting-edge vehicles.
In one example, the company put out a video that appeared to show a prototype truck driving down a desert highway. Prosecutors said that in reality, the truck wasn’t operational and had been rolled down a hill for the commercial.
The company’s promotional campaign won over many smaller investors. Nikola shares reached a price of close to $66 in June of 2020, briefly giving the company a market valuation that exceeded some major, established automakers. The stock now trades at under $5.50 per share.
Milton, who lives in Oakley, Utah, was indicted last year on charges of securities fraud and wire fraud. Jury selection began Monday at a federal court in New York.
He pleaded not guilty, and has been free on $100 million bail.
Milton’s lawyers have said they intend to argue at trial that he had no intention of deceiving anyone about the company’s products or technology.
Milton started Nikola in 2015 and announced that its stock would be publicly listed in 2020. He resigned in September of that year after the company had signed a $2 billion agreement with General Motors but following a report making allegations of fraud.
At that time, Nikola said the report was filled with misleading statements and accusations.
The company paid $125 million last year to settle a civil case against it by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nikola didn’t admit to any wrongdoing in making that agreement.
The company continues to operate from a headquarters in Arizona. It has begun delivering some vehicles to customers and says it has been ramping up toward a capacity of making thousands of trucks per year. | https://www.ksn.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-jury-selection-starts-in-nikola-founder-miltons-fraud-trial/ | 2022-09-13 12:18:59 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-jury-selection-starts-in-nikola-founder-miltons-fraud-trial/ |

Retail and food spending declined .3% in May compared to April in the U.S., according to figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
When spending at gas stations is excluded, overall spending dropped .7% nationwide last month.
A 3.5% drop in car and parts sales in May led to the decline. There was also a .9% drop in furniture spending and a 1.3% decrease in electronic spending.
In the last year, overall consumer spending has been up 8.1%, driven by high gas prices. When excluding spending at gas stations, overall spending has increased by 5.3%.
After seeing an initial drop at the onset of the pandemic, consumer spending dramatically increased, especially in early 2021. Consumer spending cooled last summer but rose again in late 2021 and early 2022.
One possible impact on consumer spending is how inflation is outpacing wage growth. According to federal data, hourly wages are up just 5.2% in the last year, compared to an 8.6% increase in inflation over the previous year. | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/consumer-spending-declines-in-may-amid-high-inflation | 2022-06-15 13:33:59 | 0 | https://www.kbzk.com/news/national/consumer-spending-declines-in-may-amid-high-inflation |
Appointment follows period of record revenue growth for TIME and launch of multiple new business divisions
Sibley succeeds Edward Felsenthal, who remains Editor in Chief and takes on new role as Executive Chairman
NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TIME announced today that veteran media executive Jessica Sibley has been named Chief Executive Officer, effective November 21, 2022. Sibley, who joins TIME from Forbes, most recently as Chief Operating Officer, has built her career leading global revenue teams, launching innovative new initiatives and products, and driving significant growth for major media brands including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Condé Nast, in addition to Forbes, where she has contributed to record revenue growth over eight consecutive years.
The appointment comes as TIME approaches its centennial year and aligns with a period of record growth for TIME, including the launch of six new divisions: the Emmy Award-winning film and television division TIME Studios that has generated more than $100 million in revenue; a rapidly growing global live events business built around its iconic TIME100 and Person of the Year franchises; an industry-leading web3 division including the TIMEPieces NFT community; Red Border Studios, producer of award-winning branded content; the website-building platform TIME Sites, which TIME acquired earlier this year; and the sustainability and climate-action platform CO2 by TIME. Today, TIME reaches the largest audience in its history–more than 100 million people around the world across its platforms–and its iconic magazine, with more than 1.3 million subscribers, remains the largest U.S. print title in news.
Sibley succeeds Edward Felsenthal, who has been TIME's Editor in Chief since 2017 and took on the additional role of CEO in 2018 when TIME became an independent company under the ownership of Marc and Lynne Benioff. Felsenthal will now become TIME's Executive Chairman while remaining Editor in Chief, leading editorial, creative and content strategy for the brand across all of its global platforms and emerging initiatives.
"We are so excited to welcome Jessica to build on TIME's momentum for the next phase of our growth. She has an extraordinary record throughout her career of delivering growth and innovation and building deep relationships with customers to ensure their success," said TIME co-chairs Marc and Lynne Benioff. "We are grateful for Edward's leadership as CEO over the past four years, and that he will continue to guide our content to ensure that TIME's next 100 years are as impactful as the first."
"It is an incredible time to join this brand whose impact and opportunity for growth is at an all-time high," said Sibley. "What the world-class team at TIME has built to date is inspiring, and I am honored to lead the next phase of evolution and transformation, continuing to extend the authority and trust of the brand and delivering for TIME's customers."
Felsenthal said: "I am so proud of the work, innovation and growth at TIME over the past four years and of this incredible team that has made TIME the company it is today. I'm thrilled to bring my full focus to the trusted storytelling that is at the core of everything we do, and to work with Jessica and the team to keep bringing TIME to new levels of success."
Sibley joins TIME from Forbes where she was most recently the Chief Operating Officer, responsible for all revenue and initiatives for the brand. During her tenure at Forbes, Sibley led the organization to consecutive years of record revenue results and introduced several innovative products and initiatives, including BrandVoice products, ForbesLive virtual events, Forbes' Representation & Inclusion Practice, ForbesOne, Forbes Demand Engine, and the CxO Growth Survey. Prior to being appointed Chief Operating Officer, Sibley served as Forbes' Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Sales Officer and, before that as Senior Vice President of U.S. and Europe. Throughout her career, Sibley has also held senior leadership positions at The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Condé Nast.

How a massage gun can help you keep your New Year’s resolution
By February, 80% of people who made a New Year’s resolution have already given up. If you’re still exercising, that means you’ve beaten the odds and you’re well on your way to becoming exceptional.
One unfortunate side effect that comes with working out is sore muscles. If you have chronic aches and pains that are a result of exercising, they could derail your progress. To help you stay on track, it can be extremely beneficial to invest in a massage gun. Fortunately, right now, Playmakar is having a massive sale with deep discounts of up to 57% off.
In this article: TheraGun Elite, Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager and 4KOR Fireball.
Benefits of using a massage gun
According to the Mayo Clinic, massage can be a “powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being.” It has many benefits, including reducing stress, increasing relaxation, improving circulation and lowering your heart rate. While additional research is needed to confirm, massage also seems to be beneficial for people with digestive disorders, anxiety, sports injuries, headaches, lower back pain, neck pain and more.
Unfortunately, there’s a myth that has taken a foothold, claiming that massage reduces lactic acid or flushes the body of toxins, which isn’t how the body works. In fact, some studies show that massage actually interferes with the body’s ability to flush this byproduct of anaerobic metabolism. The good news is the lactic acid that builds up during exercise is usually a temporary condition that begins to resolve itself once your muscles receive more oxygen — which should happen after you stop exercising.
Still, a massage can reduce pain, muscle soreness and tension, just not in the way that’s often touted. Using a massage gun can also improve immune function while increasing energy and alertness. Possibly best of all, a massage can trigger the brain to release endorphins, which are the reward chemicals that can make you feel euphoric.

MADRID (AP) — A plane provided by the Spanish government has brought 294 Afghan refugees via Pakistan to Spain, authorities said Thursday, bringing to 3,900 the number of people evacuated by Madrid since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan last year.
A government statement said the latest group of Afghan workers and their families flew into an air base near Madrid late Wednesday and were met by government officials, including Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister José Albares.
“This flight is further evidence that we are keeping our commitment to not leave anyone behind,” Albares said in the statement.
The group included people who had worked for or helped Spanish government officials and Spanish troops stationed in Afghanistan before the Taliban takeover.
The statement said Spain has carried out five evacuation operations over the past year.
Albares told Spanish National Television on Thursday that the government will continue to bring former Afghan workers and their families to Spain, but for security reasons he couldn't say how many.
Spain launched the flights to bring workers who hadn’t been able to leave Afghanistan during the airlift operation in August 2021, when it pulled out about 2,200 Spaniards and Afghans via Kabul’s airport. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Spain-evacuates-294-more-Afghan-workers-and-17366369.php | 2022-08-11 10:54:05 | 0 | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Spain-evacuates-294-more-Afghan-workers-and-17366369.php |

WASHINGTON CO., N.Y. (WTEN) – A woman was fatally shot Saturday night after a homeowner allegedly opened fire on her and her friends, who mistakenly drove to the wrong address in upstate New York, authorities said.
According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis and her friends mistakenly found themselves at the wrong home in the town of Hebron, located roughly 55 miles north of Albany along the Vermont border.
The property owner, 65-year-old Kevin Monahan, allegedly opened fire on the group’s vehicle without any provocation.
“This is a very sad case of some young adults that were looking for a friend’s house and ended up at this man’s house,” said Sheriff Jeff Murphy during a Monday press conference. “While they were leaving the residence, once they determined they were at the wrong house, the subject came out on his porch, [and] for whatever reason and fired two shots. One which struck the vehicle that Kaylin was in.”
Gillis was fatally injured, according to authorities, and her friends could not immediately call 911 as the area has spotty cellphone service. The group had to drive to a nearby town to call for help.
Monahan has been charged with second-degree murder and was being held in a county jail.
“He was uncooperative with patrols on the scene. After approximately more than an hour of talking back-and-forth, he was taken into custody,” said Murphy. The sheriff would not discuss the weapon used or if it was obtained legally but did say that there was no threat against Monahan on the part of the victim or her friends.
“There was no reason for Mr. Monahan to feel threatened, especially as it appears the vehicles were leaving at the time,” he added.
Murphy said there is no indication that law enforcement had any previous contact with Monahan or any reported trouble from his home.
There is now a GoFundMe page to help Kaylin’s family cover her funeral and other expenses. Murphy said the Schuylerville graduate was known as a talented artist and was well liked within her community.
“I know for a fact that she comes from a good family, a very good family. And I know them personally and she’s young girl that was taken way too young.”
The shooting came just days after a Missouri man allegedly shot a Black teenager who went to the wrong house while trying to pick up his younger siblings. Andrew D. Lester, 85, has now been charged with shooting 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, who is now recovering at his Kansas City home. | https://www.koin.com/news/man-accused-of-fatally-shooting-new-york-woman-who-went-to-the-wrong-address/ | 2023-04-18 02:45:38 | 0 | https://www.koin.com/news/man-accused-of-fatally-shooting-new-york-woman-who-went-to-the-wrong-address/ |

Ruling clears way for Purdue Pharma to settle opioid claims, protect Sacklers from lawsuits
A federal court ruling cleared the way Tuesday for OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma’s settlement of thousands of legal claims over the toll of opioids.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York reversed a 2021 ruling that found bankruptcy court judges did not have the authority to shield from civil lawsuits members of the Sackler family who own Purdue and who have not filed for bankruptcy protection themselves.
Those protections are at the heart of the proposed deal that would end claims against Purdue filed by thousands of state, local and Native American tribal governments and other entities.
Under the plan, members of the Sackler family would give up ownership of Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue, which would become a new company known as Knoa, with its profits being used to fight the opioid crisis. They would also contribute $5.5 billion to $6 billion in cash over time. A chunk of that money — at least $750 million — is to go to individual victims of the opioid crisis and their survivors.
Sackler family members have been clear: If they don’t get the legal protections, they won’t do their part of the deal.
Several states had been withholding support for the plan, but after a new round of negotiations this year, all of them came on board. That left just one high-profile objector: the Office of the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department.
A lawyer from that office told the 2nd Circuit in April 2022 that it’s a “fundamental inconsistency” that people who do not seek bankruptcy protection and have to give up most of their assets could be exempted from some lawsuits.
The settlement must still be approved by a bankruptcy court judge before it can be finalized. There’s also a chance the new ruling could be put on hold, pending an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Purdue is perhaps the highest-profile player in the opioid industry. But several other drugmakers, distribution companies and pharmacies also have been sued by state and local governments. While a handful of cases have gone to trial, many also are being settled.
The total value of proposed and finalized settlements in recent years is more than $50 billion. Companies that have reached deals include drugmakers Johnson & Johnson and Teva; distribution giants AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson; and pharmacy chains CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. Most of the money is required to be used to fight the opioid crisis, which has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades.

Thursday Forecast: Tumblin’ temperatures...including bitterly cold wind chills...
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Our latest winter storm will bring a variety of hazardous weather conditions to the region...
WINTER STORM WARNINGS and WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES cover much of Nebraska from Wednesday evening through midday on Thursday. Areas of light freezing rain and freezing drizzle will combine with areas of snow to bring hazardous travel conditions to most of 10-11 Country. The frozen precipitation will also be accompanied by very cold temperatures and strong, gusty winds...leading to dangerously cold wind chills. WIND CHILL WARNINGS and WIND CHILL ADVISORIES are also in effect for much of the region through noon on Thursday. Wind chill readings will range from around -15° to -40°...with the coldest numbers expected in the north and western parts of the state. Significant amounts of snow are also expected...especially across northern and far western Nebraska...with the combination of snow and high winds creating difficult-to-dangerous travel conditions for many. Snow is expected to taper off by early Thursday morning. Most of Thursday should be precipitation-free...but it will be blustery and very cold. Another round of light snow will be possible late Thursday night and into the day on Friday as a much weaker disturbance crosses the coverage-area. Improving conditions are expected for the weekend as temperatures warm back up...but yet another low pressure system will give us a chance for rain and even thunderstorms by the time we get to Sunday afternoon and evening. This disturbance looks to be more of a rain event than snow event...with precipitation winding down by Monday morning. Seasonal temperatures should linger for much of next week.

Pilot makes emergency landing in Mesa neighborhood
MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - A quick-thinking pilot made a daring emergency landing in a Mesa neighborhood early Saturday morning.
Mesa fire and police say around 6 a.m., a Bell 47 helicopter suddenly began malfunctioning mid-flight. The pilot had to think quickly to make an emergency landing in a neighborhood near 8th Avenue and Sirrine.
“Went to get coffee and my dad was like you got to go around the neighborhood because a helicopter is in the middle of the street and I was like oh my gosh!” said Sheree Hopper. “It was just amazing that he got it down where he did because it was over on that side of the road and landed it right up against the side walk so traffic could still get through.”
The pilot was able to land safely and the helicopter had minor damage. No one on the ground was injured. The Federal Aviation Administration says the helicopter was experiencing engine issues and is continuing to investigate this incident with the National Transportation Safety Board.

Video shows Nashville police search school, fire at shooter
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville police released video Tuesday from a body-worn camera that shows a team of officers entering and searching an elementary school, then confronting and opening fire on an assailant who had murdered three children and three adults in the latest school shooting to roil the nation.
The dramatic, six-minute video supplements an earlier release, late Monday, of about two minutes of edited surveillance footage that shows the shooter’s car driving up to the school, glass doors being shot out and the shooter ducking through one of them.
The new video from Officer Rex Engelbert’s body cam shows a woman greeting police outside as they arrive at The Covenant School on Monday. “The kids are all locked down, but we have two kids that we don’t know where they are,” she tells police.
“OK, yes, ma’am,” Engelbert replies.
WARNING: The unedited bodycam footage, which can be found at the link, is extremely graphic. Viewer discretion advised.
The woman then directs officers to Fellowship Hall and says people inside had just heard gunshots. “Upstairs are a bunch of kids,” she says.
Three officers, including Engelbert, search rooms one by one, holding rifles. “Metro Police,” officers yell.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” one officer yells.
As alarms are heard going off in the school, one officer says, “It sounds like it’s upstairs.”
Officers climb stairs to the second floor and enter a lobby area. “Move in,” an officer yells. Then a barrage of gunfire is heard.
“Get your hands away from the gun,” an officer yells twice. Then the shooter is shown motionless on the floor.
Police earlier identified the shooter, who was killed by police, as 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale. They say Hale was a former student and shot through the doors of the private, Christian elementary school. Hale had drawn a detailed map of the school, including potential entry points, and conducted surveillance of the building before carrying out the massacre, authorities said.
Police have given unclear information on Hale’s gender. For hours Monday, police identified the shooter as a woman. At a late afternoon press conference, the police chief said Hale was transgender. After the news conference, police spokesperson Don Aaron declined to elaborate on how Hale identified.
In an email Tuesday, police spokesperson Kristin Mumford said Hale “was assigned female at birth. Hale did use male pronouns on a social media profile.”
The victims were children Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all age 9. The adults were Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.
The website of The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school founded in 2001, lists a Katherine Koonce as the head of the school. Her LinkedIn profile says she has led the school since July 2016. Peak was a substitute teacher, and Hill was a custodian, according to investigators.
Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake did not say exactly what drove Hale but said in an interview with NBC News that investigators believe the shooter had “some resentment for having to go to that school.”
Drake provided chilling examples of the shooter’s elaborate planning for the targeted attack, the latest in a series of mass shootings in a country that has grown increasingly unnerved by bloodshed in schools.
“We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we’re going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident,” he told reporters. “We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place.”
Authorities said Hale was armed with two “assault-style” weapons, as well as a handgun. At least two of them were believed to have been obtained legally in the Nashville area, according to the chief. Police said a search of Hale’s home turned up a sawed-off shotgun, a second shotgun and other unspecified evidence.
President Joe Biden again called on lawmakers for stronger gun safety laws.
“It is time to show some courage here,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday on CNN. It is time for Republicans in Congress to show some courage and to answer to these parents, to these families.”
Founded as a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church, The Covenant School is in the affluent Green Hills neighborhood just south of downtown Nashville that is home to the famous Bluebird Cafe, beloved by musicians and songwriters.
The school has about 200 students from preschool through sixth grade, as well as roughly 50 staff members.
Before Monday’s violence in Nashville, there had been seven mass killings at K-12 schools since 2006 in which four or more people were killed within a 24-hour period, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. In all of them, the shooters were males.
The database does not include school shootings in which fewer than four people were killed, which have become far more common in recent years. Just last week alone, for example, school shootings happened in Denver and the Dallas area within two days of each other.
Monday’s shooting unfolded over roughly 14 minutes. Police received the initial call about an active shooter at 10:13 a.m. Police killed the suspect at 10:27 a.m.
Officers began clearing the first story of the school when they heard gunshots coming from the second level, Aaron said. Police later said the shooter fired at arriving officers from a second-story window.
Police identified Engelbert, a four-year member of the force, and Collazo, a nine-year member, as the officers who fatally shot Hale.
The surveillance video released Monday shows the shooter’s car driving up to the school from multiple angles, including one in which children can be seen playing on swings in the background. Next, an interior view shows glass doors to the school being shot out and the shooter ducking through one of the shattered doors.
More footage from inside shows the shooter walking through a school corridor holding a gun with a long barrel and walking into a room labeled “church office,” then coming back out. In the final part of the footage, the shooter can be seen walking down another long corridor with the gun drawn. The shooter is not seen interacting with anyone else on the video, which has no sound.
Aaron said there were no police officers present or assigned to the school at the time of the shooting because it is a church-run school.

The underwriters are also expected to be granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,725,000 additional shares of the Company's common stock. If the option to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock is exercised, the Company will enter into one or more additional forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers in respect of the number of shares of the Company's common stock that are subject to exercise of the option to purchase additional shares.

A federal judge will decide Thursday on how to move forward with former President Trump's request to have a special master assigned to review the documents seized from Trump's Florida home earlier this month.
A special master is a third party, typically an attorney, appointed by the court in cases where there is sensitive material. Trump's request for a special master was the first legal move his made team in the aftermath of the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago resort on Aug. 8.
Over the weekend, a federal judge said she was inclined to grant Trump's request.
The Department of Justice, though, argued in a filing this week that the "appointment of a special master is unnecessary and would significantly harm important governmental interests, including national security interests."
The department also wrote that in the months it took for the DOJ to try and retrieve the documents, Trump's lawyers did not make the argument that the former president had declassified the documents he was holding at Mar-A-Lago, which they are now putting forward.
The filing raised questions of whether Trump and his team attempted to obstruct justice by concealing or removing some of the documents authorities wanted.
In a response, Trump's attorneys downplayed the Justice Department's concerns about the classified material found at Mar-a-Lago, saying in a filing Wednesday that there was no "cause for alarm."
They added that the Justice Department "significantly mischaracterized" in their filing a meeting in June between prosecutors and Trump's legal team. And, they added, that without a special master, prosecutors will "impugn, leak and publicize" details of its investigation.
The court hearing before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida is set for Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
Legal experts say a special master is a procedural step, but could delay the investigation
Some experts say that if a federal judge does approve Trump's request for a special master in Thursday's hearing, it could potentially further delay the FBI's investigation.
"If a special master were appointed, then he or she would be given some time in which to review the records," David Laufman, an attorney who formerly led the Justice Department's counterintelligence section, told NPR. "And they would sift through materials to determine if anything is truly privileged or not."
Laufman added that he thinks Trump request for a special master was primarily a move to undermine public confidence in the DOJ and FBI.
A team at the Justice Department has already reviewed many of the documents and identified some that are covered by attorney-client privilege.
Overall, though, Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general of the United States, told NPR that the potential appointment of a special master is "a large nothingburger." He says even if a special master was appointed and some of the documents did get returned to Trump, they would be documents that the FBI and DOJ have already seen.
"It's just going to be a procedural hoop that the Justice Department will have to work through," Katyal said.

NEW BOSTON, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury sentenced a woman to death Wednesday for killing a pregnant woman she knew to take her unborn daughter.
Jurors returned with the sentence for Taylor Parker, 29, after deliberating for just over an hour, the Texarkana Gazette reported. The same Bowie County jury convicted Parker on Oct. 3 of capital murder in the 2020 slaying of 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock, whose baby was cut from her womb and did not survive.
In a statement to the court, Simmons-Hancock’s mother addressed Parker as an “evil piece of flesh demon.”
“My baby was alive still fighting for her babies when you tore her open and ripped her baby from her stomach,” Jessica Brooks said.
Simmons-Hancock’s body was found Oct. 9, 2020, at her home in New Boston, a city of about 4,600 people that’s 160 miles (258 kilometers) northeast of Dallas. Her 3-year-old daughter was at home when her mother was killed.
Later that morning, Parker claimed she’d just given birth after being pulled over by a state trooper for speeding and driving erratically. The baby, Braxlynn Sage Hancock, was taken to a hospital in Oklahoma, where she was pronounced dead.
Prosecutors have said that in an attempt to keep her boyfriend, Parker made herself look pregnant, faked ultrasounds and even had a gender-reveal party.
Homer Hancock, Simmons-Hancock’s husband, testified that Parker and his wife were “somewhat friends,” and that Parker had taken their engagement and wedding photos.
In closing statements, prosecutor Kelley Crisp showed jurors a crime scene photo of Simmons-Hancock soaked in blood on the floor. She told jurors that Parker needed to be sentenced to death because she’s a danger. She said that in addition to having her baby ripped from her womb, Simmons-Hancock was “slashed” hundreds of times and beaten.
Parker’s attorney, Jeff Harrelson, told jurors in closing statements that “words can be used to dehumanize,” and said that there are “layers” and “shades of gray” to people’s lives.
“She is a human,” he said.
Harrelson also said Parker was let down by her friends and family, who didn’t confront her about the fake pregnancy.
“There was no safety net when everyone saw the wheels were off,” he said. | https://who13.com/news/national-news/ap-us-news/ap-texas-woman-gets-death-for-killing-woman-to-take-unborn-baby/ | 2022-11-10 22:15:39 | 0 | https://who13.com/news/national-news/ap-us-news/ap-texas-woman-gets-death-for-killing-woman-to-take-unborn-baby/ |
Increased Narcan availability credited with lower overdose deaths in Scott County
SCOTT COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - First responders in Scott County have seen a sharp decline in the number of overdose deaths.
Officials say having more Narcan around is saving lives.
2020 and 2021 marked two of the worst years in recent history for overdose deaths losing in the county. Coroner Mark Sutton says the COVID pandemic was a contributing factor.
“You were locked in. People were out of work. Just dealing with the pandemic somehow could bring people down,” Sutton said.
In 2022, GSC EMS director Chris Runyon says the number of overdoes dropped from 33 deaths the year before to eight.
While they’re responding to a similar number of calls, they feel Narcan is now more available and is saving lives.
Local PD is now carrying Narcan, fire department is carrying Narcan, pharmacies. If people are prescribed an opiate, they’re given Narcan,” said Runyon.
Runyon says it’s inevitable that some people will use these illegal drugs, so he feels it’s important for them to have an open conversation with users about employing safer practices with the drug, like carrying Narcan.
“We work with the victim advocates program to make sure that these patients have follow-up,” Runyon said.
They treated 201 patients for overdoses in 2022, even more than in 2021. However, Runyon says because both first responders and users are becoming aware of and prepared for the dangers he hopes those numbers will continue to trend down.

CLEVELAND (AP)All-Star point guard Darius Garland was watching the scoreboard, but not his individual statistics on Sunday night. He received a pleasant surprise.
Garland poured in a career-high 51 points – 27 of them in the fourth quarter – and made a career-best 10 3-pointers as the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 129-124 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cleveland had trailed 99-75 late in the third.
”I didn’t even know I had 50 until I went to the bench,” Garland said. ”No one told me and I wasn’t paying attention to anything, except trying to win the game.
”That’s the great thing about this group of guys. No one cares about individual numbers. It’s all about the team.”
Garland’s point total was briefly the highest in the NBA this season, surpassing the 49 by Memphis’ Ja Morant against Houston on Oct. 21. Roughly one hour later, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid scored 59 in a 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz.
The Cavaliers’ franchise record of 57 points is shared by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. Garland fell four points shy of tying the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse mark held by Irving and James Harden.
”Incredible performance, master class by Darius, and we’re hoping for many more of those out of him,” Cleveland forward Kevin Love said. ”That was just beautiful. He got to his spots, kept us right there and gave us a chance at the end, and that’s all you can ask.”
Garland became the fourth Cavaliers player to score 50, joining James (nine times), Irving (twice) and Walt Wesley (once). His 10 3-pointers doubled his previous single-game high and were one short of Irving’s team record.
Cleveland, which lost its fourth in a row, played without injured All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen. Mitchell was sidelined with a sprained right ankle, while Allen sat out with a sore left ankle.
D’Angelo Russell had season highs of 30 points and 12 assists and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 29 points to help the Timberwolves overcome Garland’s onslaught.
”Garland is a phenomenal young player and he got super hot,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. ”When guys like him get hot, there is no shutting them down, so you’ve got to really, really work. But I’m not here to be super picky with our guys after a win.”
Garland made two free throws with 8.3 seconds left to pull Cleveland within 126-124, but Russell made it 127-124 from the foul line. Kevin Love threw away the subsequent inbounds pass and Taurean Prince made two free throws to lock up the win.
Russell made 11 of 13 shots, including 4 of 5 3-pointers, and Towns grabbed 13 rebounds for Minnesota, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Prince had 19 points off the bench and Rudy Gobert added 15 points and 12 rebounds.
ROCKY RUSSELL
Timberwolves G D’Angelo Russell shot .377 from the field over the first 13 games and is averaging less than 15.0 points for the first time since his rookie season of 2015-2016.
Coach Chris Finch said Russell’s lack of production is a concern, but is not considering moving him out of the starting lineup.
”We’re not going anywhere without D-Lo playing at a much better level for us, but he had kind of a slow start last season, too,” Finch said. ”I see his shooting struggles more related to hesitancy, not anything related to his role.”
TIP-INS
Timberwolves: C Naz Reid (illness) missed his second straight game. F Josh Minott and G Wendell Moore Jr. are on G League assignments with Iowa. . Two-way F Luka Garza traveled with the Timberwolves.
Cavaliers: F Dean Wade (right knee soreness) missed his second game in a row. F Dylan Windler (right ankle sprain) and G Ricky Rubio (left knee surgery) have not played this season.
UP NEXT
Timberwolves: Visit Orlando on Wednesday.
Cavaliers: Visit Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Where can I order wine online for Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day is coming up fast, but not everyone is making dinner reservations this year. Instead, many couples are choosing to have romantic dinners at home. And if wine is on the menu for you and your sweetheart, you can now enjoy the convenience of having the perfect bottle delivered right to your door.
Thanks to the rise of concierge wine delivery, it’s never been easier to order by the bottle or case. Some companies let you handpick each variety, whereas others give you a curated assortment. No matter which wine you’re looking for this Valentine’s Day, from cabernet to pinot grigio, you’ll be able to find it online.
What you need to know about ordering wine online for Valentine’s Day
Why you should order wine for Valentine’s Day
It’s no surprise that ordering wine online is convenient, especially for busy people already scrambling to buy gifts or plan something special for their partners on Valentine’s Day. It does more than save time, though.
- Skip the liquor store: Ordering wine online means you can skip a trip to the liquor store, not to mention bypassing crowds and traffic.
- Learn about wines: Instead of scrolling through wine information on your phone in the middle of a store, wine delivery websites offer detailed backgrounds about their selections.
- Discover new wines: Many wine delivery companies have exclusive access to private vineyards worldwide and offer hard-to-find varietals.
- Buy in bulk: You can purchase cases of wine at deep discounts through wine delivery companies, which may prove more cost effective than buying it per bottle.
Can I order wine online in my state?
Wine and alcohol delivery laws vary state by state, and certain states have additional regulations regarding direct shipments to residences or places of business. It’s recommended to research your state laws before you attempt to order wine online.
With that said, most wine delivery companies offer detailed information regarding their legal service areas. Additionally, if your state doesn’t allow delivery, the websites will simply prevent you from completing the wine order.
Remember wine essentials
Once you order wine online for your Valentine’s Day meal at home, make sure you have essential wine accessories on hand. At the very least, you should have a reliable wine bottle opener. If you have an electronic opener, it’s wise to have a manual one as a backup.
Many wine drinkers also invest in wine aerators, ice buckets and decanters. If you’d like to add a personal touch to your Valentine’s Day wine setup, consider personalized or monogrammed wine glasses.
How much does it cost to order wine online?
The price of the bottle you choose for your night in depends on the varietal, winemaker, and brand. But when it comes to delivery, many wine shipping companies offer free delivery while others charge $10-$40. The price depends on the size of the order and how quickly it ships. A few companies offer flat-rate shipping no matter how many bottles you order.

AACHEN, Germany, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New Elektor Book: Arduino and Raspberry Pi based PID Controllers
What Are PID Controllers?
PID control is the most commonly used control algorithm, used extensively in industrial, process, and commercial applications and has been universally accepted as the easiest and perhaps the best control algorithm, resulting in precision control of a plant. The popularity and wide use of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance in a wide range of process control applications and partly to their simplicity to use, which allows engineers to operate and tune them in a simple, straightforward manner. As the name suggests, the PID algorithm consists of three basic coefficients; proportional, integral and derivative which are varied to get an optimal response.
New Book Release
The new book, PID-Based Practical Digital Control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno, is about using the Raspberry Pi 4 and Arduino Uno in PID-based automatic control applications. The book starts with the basic theory of both the continuous and discrete time feedback control systems. The time responses of first order and second-order systems are given in detail. Working and fully tested projects are given for controlling real systems using PID controller algorithms. The open-loop step time response, various methods of tuning the PID parameters, and the closed-loop time response of the developed systems are given in the book together with the block diagrams, circuit diagrams, PID controller algorithms, and full program listings and program descriptions for both the Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno.
The book covers the following topics:
- Open-loop and closed-loop control systems
- Analogue and digital sensors
- Transfer functions and continuous-time systems
- First-order and second-order system time responses
- Discrete-time digital systems
- Continuous-time PID controllers
- Discrete-time PID controllers
- ON-OFF temperature control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno
- PID temperature control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno
- PID DC motor control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno
- PID water level control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino

DEAR ANNIE: I am 67 years old and not getting along well with my oldest daughter, who is 48.
She has a job, and she moved back to our town six years ago with my three grandchildren. I let them live with me in the house that I paid off 30 years ago and still pay taxes on and insurance. The grandchildren are a 27-year-old who has a job, a 20-year-old who is in the Army and a 16-year-old who is in high school.
The only one who pays anything for the house is me. My daughter and her 27-year-old who live here refuse to contribute to the taxes, insurance or upkeep. God forbid I should charge them rent.
The real problem, however, is that they don’t talk to me. They don’t want to have anything to do with me. My daughter says she HATES me, and she has taught the kids to hate me. She says I was not good to her when she was younger, and it’s true; I did have a hard time when I left her abusive father.
I was abused as a child by my father, and it put me in a bad place. I want them to buy the house from me so I can have retirement funds, or I want to sell it to raise money, but they just sit there like squatters. I feel sad, hurt and angry because I did all I could to put her through college and help put my granddaughter through college. They take whatever is given to them, but it’s never enough. Please give me some advice! -- Sad in Mississippi
DEAR SAD IN MISSISSIPPI: This is not a good living situation for anyone involved. Your daughter is taking advantage of you and not helping out at all. It’s time to cut her off and stop expecting her to buy your house. If you think that is really what should happen, then tell her that. If she ignores you while living in your house and also telling your grandchildren to be mean to you, then find a realtor to sell the house for you. You can offer your daughter a right of first refusal.
The deeper issue is that you were abused as a child, and then as a wife, which set a model for your daughter and her children. Explain that to them. Say that you will no longer be a victim. You love them and want to have a relationship, but they need to change. Since the 48-year-old is your “oldest daughter,” are there more children in your family who you can turn to for help and support? If so, by all means contact them.
***
DEAR ANNIE: I suspected my husband was cheating on me again, so one day I followed him and caught him in the act. He was with his friend’s wife at a motel that she runs.
However, I did not confront them at the time. Instead, I called his phone and told him I’d like to meet him in town to get something to eat. He said no -- he was coming home.
Then I told him what I knew and said that his clothes will be in the ditch -- “come and get them.” I’m done with him. I know he’s with her. He came home and denied it all.
I threw him out because I saw him with her in the room. Plus, he’s doing drugs and dealing drugs. Please advise. I think I’m just done, but he won’t agree to a divorce. -- Distressed in Virginia
DEAR DISTRESSED IN VIRGINIA: Until he gives up drugs completely -- using and dealing -- he is hopeless. Find a good divorce attorney. You will be much happier with someone else in the future.

Updated March 27, 2023 at 9:35 PM ET
Three children and three adults were killed in a shooting at a private religious school in Nashville, authorities said.
The shooter, who police said was a 28-year-old from the Nashville area, was shot dead by two officers. Police initially identified the shooter as a woman but a spokesperson later told WPLN's Alexis Marshall that the shooter was assigned female at birth and used he/him pronouns.
The shooting occurred at The Covenant School. The three children who died were students, and the three adults who died were staff members, Nashville police spokesperson Don Aaron said in a press briefing Monday.
Authorities identified the victims Monday afternoon:
Koonce served as the head of the school, according to the school's website.
The first call came in at 10:13 a.m. The shooter "entered the school through a side entrance and traversed her way from the first floor to the second floor, firing multiple shots," Aaron said.
On Monday evening, Nashville police posted photos of the scene. Police said the shooter entered the building by shooting out the glass in a door. Once on the second floor, the shooter fired at arriving police vehicles from a window.
The shooter had two assault-style rifles and one pistol, authorities said, and the shooting took place in a "lobby-type area" in an upper part of the school. The shooter was dead by 10:27 a.m., Aaron added. Two of those guns were obtained legally, police said.
Police said the shooter was a former student but have not said anything about a potential motive. On Monday afternoon, police identified the shooter as Audrey Hale of Nashville. Hale had no criminal history.
Hale had multiple rounds of ammunition and was "prepared for a confrontation with law enforcement," Nashville Police Chief John Drake said. He said the shooter had maps drawn of the school and its entry points.
Drake said the parents of the children who were killed have been notified. "I was literally moved to tears to see this and the kids as they were being ushered out of the building," he said earlier.
At least five of the victims were transported to emergency departments at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed to NPR that three children and two adults sent to the hospital had died.
Aaron said he was not aware of any other gunshot victims from the shooting. He said a responding officer had a wound from cut glass.
A reunification center for parents and students was set up nearby with mental health specialists available.
According to its website, The Covenant School is a private school associated with the Covenant Presbyterian Church serving students from preschool through sixth grade. On a regular day there would be about 209 students and 42 staff members at the school, Aaron said.
Politicians respond
Mayor John Cooper said Nashville was joining the "dreaded, long list" of cities and towns that have suffered school shootings.
"My heart goes out to the families of the victims," Cooper said. "Our entire city stands with you."
Tennessee state Rep. Bob Freeman, whose district includes the school, said it was "an unimaginable tragedy for the victims, all the children, families, teachers, staff and my entire community. I live around the corner from Covenant and pass by it often. I have friends who attend both church and school there. I have also visited the church in the past. It tears my heart apart to see this," WPLN reported.
State Sen. Jeff Yarbro, who represents Nashville, said on Twitter: "My heart breaks for the families at Covenant. As a parent, I both ache for them and rage with them that fear of this kind of tragedy is just accepted as just part of what it means to raise kids these days."
President Biden called the Nashville shooting "sick" and "heartbreaking," saying it was "a family's worst nightmare."
"We have to do more to stop gun violence. It's ripping our communities apart, ripping at the very soul of our nation," he said at the White House.
According to the national Gun Violence Archive website, there have been 130 mass shootings in the U.S. this year.

RENO, Nev. – Democrat Cisco Aguilar was elected as Nevada’s secretary of state, winning the elections post over Republican Jim Marchant, who pushed to scrap voting machines and claimed all Nevada winners since 2006 have been “installed by the deep-state cabal."
Marchant's loss marks the latest defeat for election conspiracy theorists who sought to gain control of elections in competitive states. Marchant organized a coalition of 17 such Republican candidates for the 2022 election, and all lost their races except two — Diego Morales, who was elected secretary of state in Indiana, and Kari Lake, whose contest for Arizona governor remained too close to call.
Marchant, Mark Finchem — an Arizona state lawmaker who attended the Jan. 6 protests — and Michigan's Kristina Karamo were the most prominent secretary of state candidates because they sought the office overseeing voting in three of the six swing states that decided the winner of the 2020 presidential elections. Their bids drew millions of dollars in outside spending from Democrats and their allies on ads warning voters about them. In contrast, the Republican Party's apparatus that normally backs secretaries of states didn't support any election conspiracy theorists and they raised paltry sums of money.
“Their candidates showed voters who they were and the voters rejected them,” said Ellen Kurz, a Democratic strategist whose group iVote spent $15 million against the conspiracy theorists. “Voters saved democracy.”
In Nevada, Aguilar has vowed to add protections for poll workers and to restore public trust in elections that was damaged by false claims of voter fraud, including by his election-denying opponent. He will replace Barbara Cegavske, the only current statewide-elected Republican and one of the GOP’s most vocal critics of conspiracy theories that have fueled unfounded distrust in voting machines.
“We must continue to reject extremism and those who threaten our democracy,” Aguilar, the first Latino elected to the role, said in a campaign statement declaring victory Friday.
Marchant lost even as the GOP candidate for governor won, part of a pattern of election deniers running behind the rest of their ticket, including in Minnesota, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.
Cegavske has overseen elections in Nevada since 2014 and has repeatedly upheld the results as reliable and accurate despite attacks from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans — which led the state party to censure her. Her investigation found no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in Nevada in 2020.
In addition to running the state’s elections, Nevada’s secretary of state also runs the state’s campaign finance filing, business licenses and notaries.
Voting has changed in Nevada in the past four years, as the Democratic-controlled Legislature implemented changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including sending mail ballots to every voter, which was made permanent.
Aguilar said in an interview in early November that one of his first priorities in office will be to make it a felony to harass election workers and volunteers.
Aguilar spent eight years on the Nevada Athletic Commission and worked as legal counsel for Nevada’s higher education Chancellor Jim Rodgers and for Agassi Graf, a management company run by married tennis stars Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.
Marchant, a former state assemblyman and congressional candidate, was not the only Republican election denier on the ballot in Nevada. U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt co-chaired Trump’s reelection campaign in Nevada and led failed court challenges to overturn the state’s 2020 results. Laxalt lost to Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who won election to a second term on Saturday.
Like many election conspiracy theorists, Marchant eschewed the trappings of a typical campaign, holding few public events open to reporters. Marchant and his fellow deniers were supported by deep-pocketed businessmen who spent tens of millions of dollars on grassroots groups, documentary-style movies and other media pushing the theory that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
“These guys have this infrastructure, which is how they communicate and they didn't think they needed a campaign structure,” said Kim Rogers, executive director of the Democratic Associated of Secretaries of State, which spent heavily against Marchant and other denier candidates.
Marchant traveled across deep-red, rural Nevada, spreading conspiracies theories and pushing county commissions to request ballot hand-counts from local clerks who administer elections.
Nye County, with 34,000 registered voters, has started the slower and less reliable method of hand-counting votes alongside tabulators and has openly floated using a hand-count as its primary tabulation method in future cycles. Esmeralda County, with just over 600 registered voters, used hand-counting to certify its primary results in June, while officials in other counties have expressed support for hand-counting.
Aguilar said he would respect “local decisions” if counties present him with plans to hand-count ballots, while also making sure the process is lawful. He said a large part of his job will be rebuilding trust in elections.
“It’s going to be having uncomfortable conversations. It’s going to be a lot of listening,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Thursday that the COVID-19 public health emergency will continue through Jan. 11 as officials brace for a spike in cases this winter.
The decision comes as the pandemic has faded from the forefront of many people's minds. Daily deaths and infections are dropping and people — many of them maskless — are returning to schools, work and grocery stores as normal.
The public health emergency, first declared in January 2020 and renewed every 90 days since, has dramatically changed how health services are delivered.
The declaration enabled the emergency authorization of COVID vaccines, testing and treatments for free. It expanded Medicaid coverage to millions of people, many of whom who will risk losing that coverage once the emergency ends. It temporarily opened up telehealth access for Medicare recipients, enabling doctors to collect the same rates for those visits and encouraging health networks to adopt telehealth technology.
Since the beginning of this year, Republicans have pressed the administration to end the public health emergency. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has urged Congress to provide billions more in aid to pay for COVID-19 vaccines and testing. The federal government ceased sending free COVID-19 tests in the mail last month, saying it had run out of money.
Public health officials are urging people age 5 and older to get an updated COVID-19 booster alongside a flu vaccine this fall before a predicted winter coronavirus surge and a nasty flu season. As of last weekend, about 13 million people had gotten the updated booster, which targets the omicron variant, according to White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha.
The administration has said it would provide 60 days notice before it ends the public health emergency.

WASHINGTON — Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was violently attacked Friday morning by an assailant who broke into the couple's California home, according to the speaker's office.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi," Drew Hammill, Nancy Pelosi's spokesman, said in a statement. "The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation."
The speaker was not in San Francisco at the time of the assault, Hammill said.
Two people with knowledge of the investigation told the Associated Press that Paul Pelosi, 82, was severely beaten by an assailant with a hammer and suffered blunt force injuries in the attack. He was being treated by doctors for bruising, severe swelling and other injuries.
The intruder who attacked Paul Pelosi was reportedly searching for the Democratic leader, shouting "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?" before assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
That was a chilling echo of the chants during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, when rioters trying to stop Joe Biden's election searched menacingly for the House speaker.
Nancy Pelosi just returned to Washington this week from a security conference in Europe and is due to keynote an advocacy event Saturday evening with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Her office said Paul Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is expected to make a full recovery. No information on the suspect or possible motive has been released.
“The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time," Hammill said in a statement.
President Joe Biden called Nancy Pelosi Friday morning to "express his support after this horrible attack," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
"The President continues to condemn all violence, and asks that the family’s desire for privacy be respected," Jean-Pierre added.
While the circumstances of the attack are unclear, it's comes amid an escalating series of threats to political figures. A man was arrested outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home in May and charged with attempted murder. The man said he was upset about the leaked draft of the court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
In 2021, Capitol Police investigated around 9,600 threats made against members of Congress, and members have been violently attacked in recent years. Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head at an event outside a Tucson grocery store in 2011, and Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., was severely injured when a gunman opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball team practice in 2017.
Members of Congress have received additional dollars for security at their homes, but some have pushed for more protection as people have showed up at their homes and as members have received an increasing amount of threatening communications.
The assault comes just days before the 2022 midterms, when Republicans are expected to take control of the House Representatives and could take control of the Senate. Nancy Pelosi is a top figure trying to shore up Democratic chances of retaining both houses.
Paul Pelosi largely remains on the West Coast and often stays out of the spotlight cast on his wife, who is the top Democrat in the House and third in line for the presidency.
He was arrested for a DUI earlier this year and was sentenced to five days in jail.

Accumulations of snow and ice outside the Poconos were fairly minimal on Thursday with a coating to an inch or two for many, but the weather ping-ponged back and forth between snow, sleet, and rain for a good chunk of the day, before gradually changing to all rain for most during this evening. The exception was the Poconos, where the snow and sleet hung on into Thursday night. Rain and some wet snow at times will affect the area into the afternoon before this storm finally moves away from the area. We'll have to wait until the weekend to clear out, which we should do with a pair of partly sunny but cold and brisk days expected and highs only in the mid to upper 30s. Next week gets progressively colder, and it stays cold right through the holidays. We're also eyeing up the end of next week, specifically next Thursday and Friday, for our next storm. And with colder air in place, that one has higher snow potential, at least at this point. Let's see how things look when it gets closer.
DETAILED FORECAST
FRIDAY
Rain and some wet snow will continue into the afternoon with little or no additional accumulation of snow (best chance of a coating or so north). Expect a cloudy and still breezy and chilly Friday with some rain, (mixed) with wet snow at times, especially in the Poconos. Precipitation should gradually taper off by or during the afternoon, and we should all be dry before the end of the day. Temperatures hold steady in the mid to upper 30s to around 40 for most of the day, and may even fall a few degrees as the day progresses. Breezes remain brisk too around 12-25mph with gusts to 30mph, but winds will shift from the east to the north as our storm begins its departure. Clearing should begin Friday night.
THIS WEEKEND
The weekend looks mainly dry for holiday preps, with Christmas a week away, and Hanukkah beginning at sundown on Sunday. Look for a mix of sun and clouds both Saturday and Sunday, but with some rather chilly temperatures by mid-December standards. Highs will only be in the 30s, upper 30s Saturday and mid 30s on Sunday, with occasionally brisk west and northwest breezes adding an additional chill. Lows will drop into the mid 20s each night, under partly cloudy skies.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
Weather in a word next week: cold. And that cold will be consistent all week, with highs in the 30s across the board. For comparison, our average high for the week before Christmas should be in the low 40s. It does look mainly dry for the first half of the week with partly sunny skies Monday through Wednesday, with highs mostly in the mid 30s. Winter officially begins at 4:48pm on Wednesday evening, the winter solstice. It's also the shortest day of the year in terms of daylight.
LATER NEXT WEEK
The first full days of winter next Thursday and Friday could be quite wintry. There is a favorable pattern for an east coast storm, and with colder air in place, this has a better chance of being snow instead of a wintry mix. Of course, nothing is certain and what ends up evolving will depend on storm track and strength. It definitely looks cold through next week and possibly very cold come Christmas. And for now, we'll just put a chance of snow (and not rain) in the forecast for next Thursday and Friday and watch how trends develop over the coming days.

The distribution will be payable on February 28, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business February 21, 2023.
The Fund is a closed-end fund that seeks to provide a high level of current income, consistent with the preservation of capital in a registered fund format. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in the following categories of securities and instruments: (i) floating-rate loans and other securities deemed to be floating-rate investments; (ii) investments in securities or other instruments directly or indirectly secured by real estate (including real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), preferred equity, securities convertible into equity securities and mezzanine debt); and (iii) other instruments, including but not limited to secured and unsecured fixed-rate loans and corporate bonds, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, structured products (including but not limited to mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities), convertible and preferred securities, equities (public and private), and futures and options. The Fund declares and pays distributions of investment income monthly.
About the Highland Income Fund
The Highland Income Fund (NYSE: HFRO) is a closed-end fund managed by NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com/income-fund/.
About NexPoint Asset Management, L.P.
NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. is an SEC-registered investment adviser. It is the adviser to a suite of registered funds, including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds, and an exchange-traded fund. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Highland Income Fund carefully before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund's prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-800-357-9167 or visiting nexpointassetmgmt.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
The distribution may include a return of capital. Please refer to the 19(a)-1 Source of Distribution Notice on the Highland Funds website for Section 19 notices that provide estimated amounts and sources of the fund's distributions, which should not be relied upon for tax reporting purposes.
No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Closed-End Fund Risk. The Fund is a closed-end investment company designed primarily for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. No assurance can be given that a shareholder will be able to sell his or her shares on the NYSE when he or she chooses to do so, and no assurance can be given as to the price at which any such sale may be affected.
Credit Risk. The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in Senior Loans or other securities that are rated below investment grade and unrated Senior Loans deemed by Highland to be of comparable quality. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high yield securities" or "junk securities." They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuing company's continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the Senior Loan experiencing non-payment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Investments in high yield Senior Loans and other securities may result in greater NAV fluctuation than if the Fund did not make such investments.
Senior Loans Risk. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority announced that it will stop encouraging banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR maturities, including some US LIBOR maturities, on December 31, 2021, and is expected to cease publishing the remaining and most liquid US LIBOR maturities on June 30, 2023. It is expected that market participants will transition to the use of alternative reference or benchmark rates prior to the applicable LIBOR cessation date. Additionally, although regulators have encouraged the development and adoption of alternative rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement rate remains uncertain.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation dates, the impact on certain debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments remains uncertain. It is expected that market participants will adopt alternative rates such as SOFR or otherwise amend financial instruments referencing LIBOR to include fallback provisions and other measures that contemplate the discontinuation of LIBOR or other similar market disruption events, but neither the effect of the transition process nor the viability of such measures is known. Further, uncertainty and risk remain regarding the willingness and ability of issuers and lenders to include alternative rates and revised provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. To facilitate the transition of legacy derivatives contracts referencing LIBOR, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. launched a protocol to incorporate fallback provisions. While the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the expected LIBOR cessation dates, there are obstacles to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks and the effectiveness of one alternative reference rate versus multiple alternative reference rates in new or existing financial instruments and products has not been determined. Furthermore, the risks associated with the cessation of LIBOR and transition to replacement rates may be exacerbated if an orderly transition to alternative reference rates is not completed in a timely manner. Certain proposed replacement rates to LIBOR, such as SOFR, which is a broad measure of secured overnight US Treasury repo rates, are materially different from LIBOR, and changes in the applicable spread for financial instruments transitioning away from LIBOR will need to be made to accommodate the differences. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition to replacement rates may be exacerbated if an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. As market participants transition away from LIBOR, LIBOR's usefulness may deteriorate, and these effects could be experienced until the permanent cessation of the majority of U.S. LIBOR rates in 2023. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates. LIBOR's deterioration may adversely affect the liquidity and/or market value of securities that use LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate.
Alteration of the terms of a debt instrument or a modification of the terms of other types of contracts to replace LIBOR or another interbank offered rate ("IBOR") with a new reference rate could result in a taxable exchange and the realization of income and gain/loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued final regulations regarding the tax consequences of the transition from IBOR to a new reference rate in debt instruments and non-debt contracts. Under the final regulations, alteration or modification of the terms of a debt instrument to replace an operative rate that uses a discontinued IBOR with a qualified rate (as defined in the final regulations) including true up payments equalizing the fair market value of contracts before and after such IBOR transition, to add a qualified rate as a fallback rate to a contract whose operative rate uses a discontinued IBOR or to replace a fallback rate that uses a discontinued IBOR with a qualified rate would not be taxable. The IRS may provide additional guidance, with potential retroactive effect.
Real Estate Industry Risk: Issuers principally engaged in real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts, may be subject to risks similar to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including: (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage.
Illiquidity of Investments Risk. The investments made by the Fund may be illiquid, and consequently the Fund may not be able to sell such investments at prices that reflect the Investment Adviser's assessment of their value or the amount originally paid for such investments by the Fund.
Ongoing Monitoring Risk. On behalf of the several Lenders, the Agent generally will be required to administer and manage the Senior Loans and, with respect to collateralized Senior Loans, to service or monitor the collateral. Financial difficulties of Agents can pose a risk to the Fund.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Attorneys for Tyre Nichols’ mother filed a federal civil lawsuit Wednesday against the City of Memphis, Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis, and 10 current and former city employees.
Attorney Ben Crump said the lawsuit would be worth $550 million in damages. This would exceed the $27 million that Minneapolis paid in the George Floyd lawsuit, believed to be the highest ever for a police-involved death lawsuit.
RowVaughn Wells was surrounded by supporters Wednesday as details of the lawsuit were made public.
“No parent should be going though what I’m going through right now. I don’t wish it on my worst enemy, but things need to change,” said Wells.
The 140 page lawsuit outlines what Crump calls out the “torture, savage, brutal, de-humanizing” killing of Tyre Nichols and calls out policies and procedures under MPD Chief CJ Davis.
The complaint alleges that Memphis Police SCORPION Unit used “seething aggression and unjustified force” when they pulled over Nichols for an alleged traffic violation on January 7. Nichols died in the hospital three days later. The incident was caught on video.
Several police officers and firefighters were terminated or suspended.
Crump said the focus of the lawsuit is ultimately to rid communities of police “oppression” units like the now-disbanded Scorpion unit. The five officers charged in Nichols’ death were members of the Scorpion unit.
“It is our mission to make it financial unsustainable for these police oppression units to unjustly kill black people in the future,” said Crump.
Watch the full press conference below
We reached out to MPD and were told as standard practice, they do not comment on pending litigation.
Note: Crump’s office later clarified the amount sought in the lawsuit at $550 million. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/tyre-nichols-family-files-550m-civil-suit-against-memphis-mpd/ | 2023-04-19 23:14:59 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/tyre-nichols-family-files-550m-civil-suit-against-memphis-mpd/ |

Princess Diana "would be saddened" by the rift between Prince William and Prince Harry, biographer James Patterson believes. ET spoke with the prolific author ahead of the release of his latest work, Diana, William, & Harry, and he weighed in on how the late royal would feel about the current state of her sons' relationship.
William and Harry's relationship took a turn for the worse in 2020, when the younger brother and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as senior royals and relocated to California.
"I think she would be saddened by the break with the two boys," Patterson tells ET. "I think that would really make her sad, because they had been so very close as kids, and then... Will obviously deciding [that he] must stay with tradition, and the crown, and the royals, and then Harry making the break."
Even with the brothers' opposing views, Patterson guesses that Diana, who got divorced from Prince Charles in 1996, "would've respected both sides."
"I don't think she looked at the tradition of the royal family and said it's a bad thing. Just the way it operated with her, I think it just didn't fit her at all. It was very difficult. She's a free spirit. That's very, very tough," he says. "I think she would've been very sympathetic, totally sympathetic, for what Harry did, but I think she would've understood Will's path as well. She was that kind of person. She wasn't terribly judgmental."
As for if William and Harry will mend their relationship, Patterson says he "would be surprised if they didn't at some point get close again."
Throughout Diana, William, & Harry, which Patterson wrote with Chris Mooney, the author aimed to focus on Diana's life as a mom up until her death in 1997.
"That was at the core of, I think, who she was," he says. "... Obviously, initially, she had that fantasy of being a princess and I'm sure hoping that she would really love Charles and he would love her back. But then the thing is, she said that the happiest moment of her life, where she really felt complete was the first time she held William in her arms. That was a piece that she needed."
Being the kind of mom Diana wanted to be, Patterson explains, was not an easy task for a member of the royal family.
"She wanted the boys to be somewhat regular. She wanted them to understand that their existence was very strange and weird and unusual," Patterson says of Diana. "... In so far she could, she wanted them to grow up as normal kids. I think she wanted to have a normal life too, which just wasn't possible in the royal family."
Still, Diana tried to implement normalcy in several different ways, even if Queen Elizabeth didn't understand the purpose behind her one-time daughter-in-law's efforts.
"She would spend all these times with the kids and sleeping on their floor and whatever in hospital when a couple times they got hurt. Queen Elizabeth didn't get it, because that's not the way it was done in the royal family. She said, 'I don't get it. There are millions of housemaids around who can do that stuff,'" Patterson says. "Queen Elizabeth didn't understand McDonald's. She said, 'Well, the hamburgers aren't that good.' And Diana tried to explain to her, 'It's not about the hamburgers. It's about the Happy Meals. And the Happy Meals aren't about the hamburgers, they're about the toy in the Happy Meal.'"
Among the most surprising things Patterson learned while writing the book was the fact that Diana "had a real sense of fun, that kind of naughty humor," which she didn't lose during her time in the royal family.
"When Will turned 13, he had pictures of models up on his wall and she invited them. So Claudia Schiffer, and Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell came to his 13th birthday party. She gave him a cake that had two women's breasts," Patterson shares. "That kind of naughty sense of humor was nice. When they were away in school, she would send them kind of naughty cards and stuff like that."
Patterson notes that he wanted to make sure that "the book was representative" of Diana "in that way, rather than just as a princess." Above all, though, the book makes clear that motherhood was always at the forefront of Diana's mind, so much so that she, at one point, recorded messages for her son's future wives.
"That's great on a lot of levels. '[My] dream is for you boys to have a life filled with love and joy. Cherish your children for me. They carry my heart. Let them know I love them and will always watch over them,'" Patterson quotes. "I mean, that's great stuff... I think in her case, obviously, it's even more meaningful, A, because she died so young, B, because she was so close to the boys, and C, just incredible curiosity about her, which I'm sure will persist for a long time."
Diana, William, & Harry is out now.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Iranian singer who faces possible prison time for his song that’s become an anthem to the ongoing protests shaking the Islamic Republic wept early Monday after seeing he’d won a Grammy.
Shervin Hajipour appeared stunned after hearing Jill Biden, the wife of President Joe Biden, announce he’d won the Grammy’s new song for social change special merit award for “Baraye.” An online video showed Hajipour in a darkened room, wiping tears away after the announcement.
Hajipour’s song “Baraye,” or “For” in English, begins with: “For dancing in the streets,” “for the fear we feel when we kiss.” The lyrics list reasons young Iranians have posted on Twitter for why they had protested against Iran’s ruling theocracy.
It ends with the widely chanted slogan that has become synonymous with the protests since the September death of Iranian-Kurdish woman Masha Amini: “For women, life, freedom.”
Released on his Instagram page, the song quickly went viral. Hajipour then was arrested and held for several days before being released on bail in October. The 25-year-old singer faces charges of “propaganda against the regime” and “instigating the violence,” according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that’s been monitoring the monthslong protests.
The charges Hajipour faces can carry as much as six years in prison all together. The singer is also banned from leaving Iran.
Wearing a shining, off-the-shoulder Oscar de la Renta dress at the Grammy ceremony in Los Angeles, Biden said that a song “can unite, inspire and ultimately change the world.”
“This song became the anthem of the Mahsa Amini protests, a powerful and poetic call for freedom and women’s rights,” Biden said. “Shervin was arrested, but this song continues to resonate around the world with its powerful theme: Women, life, freedom.”
Those gathered cheered Biden’s remarks. On Instagram, Hajipour simply wrote: “We won.”
There was no immediate reaction in Iranian state media or from government officials to Hajipour’s win. The singer is among over 19,600 people arrested amid the demonstrations, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran. At least 527 people have been killed amid a violent suppression of the demonstration by authorities.
On Sunday, Iran’s supreme leader on Sunday reportedly ordered an amnesty or reduction in prison sentences for “tens of thousands” of people detained amid the protests, acknowledging for the first time the scale of the crackdown. | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/iran-singer-who-faces-prison-wins-grammy-for-protest-anthem/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-02-06 08:56:16 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/iran-singer-who-faces-prison-wins-grammy-for-protest-anthem/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
Earlier this month, Chinese President Xi Jinping directed his military to deepen war and combat planning, the latest sign that Beijing is getting ready to execute China’s grand plan to re-establish control over Taiwan.
President Biden, having explicitly pledged in September that U.S. forces would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, made a stunning admission in early July - the United States is running perilously low on ammunition supplies after a year and a half of arming Ukraine to help it defend itself from Russia.
Recent war games conducted by the Pentagon to simulate a U.S.-China battle over Taiwan underscored just how depleted America’s war chest is. In a fake battle simulated in April by the Center for a New American Security, U.S. forces ran out of key munitions in a matter of days, in addition to losing thousands of service members, dozens of ships, and hundreds of aircraft. This brings up a critical question – is Taiwan committed to its own defense? There are multiple indications that the answer is no.
RUSSIA'S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE WILL BE BIDEN'S AFGHANISTAN 2.0
First, it appears that Taipei would rather let Washington empty its war chest than commit some serious funds for its own defense. Republicans on Congress’ foreign affairs and armed services committees have pushed for even more military aid for Taiwan – $2 billion – in fiscal 2024 budget, while slashing the overall foreign aid budget, according to Defense News.
And the White House is preparing a presidential drawdown package to quickly transfer U.S. arms from existing stockpiles to Taiwan – as Washington has done for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Taipei spends only 2.4% of its budget on national defense, up from a paltry 1.6% as recently as 2016, according to the Taiwan Times. The United States spends 3.5% to protect its citizens and global interests.
Second, congressional hearings reveal that Taiwan’s military is lacking adequate personnel, training, doctrine, arms, equipment, and, most importantly, motivation to defend itself against an invasion by China. As recently as two years ago, Taiwan’s 153,000 service members across Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, represented only 80% of its authorized end strength, while front line combat units were manned as low as at 60% of full strength, according to a report in Defense News.

While Taiwan has grown its active duty personnel to 169,000, China holds a superior advantage in manpower with its 2-million-strong armed forces. To make matters worse, the length of mandatory service for Taiwanese conscripts is only four months, insufficient to attain optimum combat training. Compare this with the militaries of South Korea and Singapore, whose conscription programs last 18 to 21 months and 24 months, respectively.
While Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen announced in January that the compulsory conscription service will be extended to one year, the new "force realignment plan" will not take effect until 2024.
Third, and perhaps most alarmingly, some Taiwanese youth, it turns out, are reluctant to die for their country. Tsai herself admitted in December that many Taiwanese view military service as "just a waste of time." Former conscripts, recently interviewed by CNN, criticized Taiwanese military service as boring, outdated and impractical.
A 25-year-old Taiwanese reservist who served last year complained that while his assigned mission was as an artilleryman specializing in cannons, he never learned to fire them because his instructors were concerned about the recruits’ safety. Instead, he spent the bulk of his time washing the cannon carts.
Research conducted by The Taipei Times newspaper in 2018, revealed similar shortcomings. Large numbers of young Taiwanese were "apathetic toward the military and averse to service."
"My time in the army was a complete waste. I wish I could get those four months back," a Taiwanese conscript told his interviewers, complaining that he spent much of his compulsory service cleaning the barracks, sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets.
For decades, U.S. leaders have doled out military aid and promised security guarantees to foreign partners, without demanding that they pony up their fair share. Now that American families are being crushed by Bidenomics and our treasury and our combat arsenal are depleted to dangerous levels by Washington’s misguided policies, it is high time to change the paradigm in Washington when it comes to foreign military aid.
Before squeezing the American taxpayers any further by underwriting foreign nations’ security, let's compel our friends to do everything they can protect their own citizens and safeguard their vital interests first.
Biden must show leadership now, before it’s too late, and force Taiwan to participate much more in its own defense. Our young men and women from Tulsa should not be sent to Taiwan to die if the kids from Taipei aren’t willing to do the same.

The series finale between the Diamondbacks and Tigers begins early on Sunday morning at 11:35 am. On the mound will be Zac Gallen for Arizona and Joey Wentz for the Tigers, and that immediately gives the visitors the advantage. While Gallen is in the running for the NL Cy Young award, Wentz is trying to get his ERA under 7.
Our expert took a look at this matchup and has his Diamondbacks vs. Tigers predictions picked out at Caesars, where new users can get first-bet insurance up to $1,250 and 1,000 Tier Credits and 1,000 Caesars Reward Reward Credits ®.
Arizona Diamondbacks VS. Detroit Tigers PREDICTION: Diamondbacks -1.5 (-130 at Caesars Sportsbook)
Click here to register at Caesars Sportsbook and wager on our experts Diamondbacks vs. Tigers predictions.
Predictions for Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Detroit Tigers on 6/11
Whenever Zac Gallen is pitching, prepare to pay the premium on the Diamondbacks. After 13 starts, Gallen has a 2.75 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and has been one of the best pitchers in the entire National League. He’s in the running for the NL Cy Young if he continues at this pace, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him win it. But for the Tigers, their rotation continues to lack reliable solid pitching.
Besides Eduardo Rodriguez, there aren’t many consistent members of the Detroit staff. That includes Sunday’s starter Joey Wentz, who has a 7.49 ERA paired with a 1.76 WHIP. Now, let’s get into our expert’s Diamondbacks vs. Tigers predictions from Caesars Sportsbook.
Diamondbacks vs. Tigers best bets & MLB picks for Sunday including Diamondbacks -1.5
This is one of the most lopsided pitching matchups on Sunday. Gallen, an ace-caliber pitcher, is going against Wentz, a lefty that is trying to get his ERA back to a respectable level. In Wentz’s most recent outing, he was shelled for 5 runs on 7 hits, including 2 home runs, in just 4.2 innings. But not just that, he also walked 5 batters. So not only does Wentz have trouble keeping the ball in the park, but he also has the tendency to be wild and allow several free passes each outing. Considering he ranks in the bottom 6% of pitchers in xERA, xBA and xSLG, it doesn’t seem too likely for Wentz to turn it around anytime soon.
The Detroit offense has been in quite the slump in the last week or so. Prior to Saturday’s game, the Tigers lineup had a .193 batting average, a .270 on-base percentage and just a 65 wRC+ in the last 14 days. It also doesn’t help that they’ve lost several key members of their lineup to injuries like Riley Greene and Akil Baddoo. With all that in mind, facing Gallen seems like a tough mountain to climb.
Our expert’s Diamondbacks vs. Tigers predictions is on the Diamondbacks to cover their -1.5 run line. You can tail this bet at Caesars Sportsbook, and new users can get $1,250 worth of first-bet insurance when they click this link or any link in this article.

Family and friends remember Carr Fire hero, Redding firefighter Jeremy Stoke
People who knew Redding Fire Department firefighter Jeremy Stoke say he would hate to be remembered as a hero. But five years ago, during the Carr Fire, he died as one, at the age of 37.
A modest man, Stoke looked tough but is remembered by those who knew him best as generous and easy-going.
“He was a big, burly guy with a big heart,” said Stoke’s friend Ted Blankenheim, a registered nurse at Shasta Regional Medical Center and a former Shasta fire chief.
His widow, Alyson Stoke Buchner, called the physically imposing Stoke “a teddy bear you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley."
Stoke joined the Redding Fire Department in 2004, working as an engineer before being promoted to fire inspector, according to the California Fire Foundation. He also taught classes at Shasta College's Fire Academy in Redding, his alma mater.
On the job, Stoke “was always in the thick of things,” said Blankenheim, who first met Stoke around 2010 while working as a paramedic.
At home, the Anderson resident was devoted to his family, Stoke Buchner said. He'd sit on the couch and let their young daughter Aubrey "dress him up as a princess" complete with a tiara, Stoke Buchner said.
“I came home one day and they were having a tea party. Aubrey, 4 at the time, kept pouring water into daddy’s teacup. I asked her where she was getting the water," Stoke Buchner said.
Upon finding out his daughter had scooped the water out of the toilet, “He just kind of shrugged. He was just happy to make all of us happy,” she said.

Stoke and his son, Caleb, shared a love for baseball. “He coached his son’s baseball team,” the Little League Brewers, and took the family to San Francisco Giants games, Stoke Buchner said.
Caleb looked up to his father. "When his father came home from hunting, he’d sit on the tailgate with the dog and watch in awe" as his dad cleaned what he had hunted, Stoke Buchner said.
Now 18, Caleb Stoke will walk his father's path to the Shasta College Fire Academy starting in January. “I’m extremely proud of my son. If his dad was still here, I’m not sure he would have gone down that path,” Stoke Buchner said.
Stoke went from dairyman's son to North State hero
Stoke was born on Feb. 11, 1981, in Hanford, in the San Joaquin Valley. His family moved to Redding when he was 10 or 11 years old, Stoke Buchner said.
His mother, Deborah, was a homemaker. His father, Leon, was a Hanford dairy manager who died when Jeremy Stoke was 18. He decided his career path while watching firefighters try to save his father’s life, Stoke Buchner said.
Stoke first saw the San Fernando Valley-born lady who would become his wife in December, 2000, while she was working at Lithia Chevrolet in Redding. He'd come in to buy a car and walked out smitten. A mutual friend who worked at the car dealership told her that Stoke had asked for her phone number.
“I said 'no, but I’ll take his number and call when I was ready,'” said Stoke Buchner.
She called Stoke two days later. They were engaged six weeks after their first date. “We both knew,” she said.
Stoke attended the Shasta College Fire Academy in 2001. He was working for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection when the couple married on May 11, 2002.
They enjoyed married life, Stoke Buchner said. “We were both very good at bantering. It was never serious, but we kept each other on each other’s toes,” she said.
Stoke and Redding Police Detective Mike DiMatteo attended Enterprise High School together, but didn't meet until they were adults, through their wives.
Stoke “never held a grudge,” and “everybody was a friend," DiMatteo said. "My kids always looked up to him as an uncle. He was more than a friend. He was a brother,” DiMatteo said.
Stoke’s care for children went beyond his own circle. He always “had a fondness for helping children in need,” said Blankenheim, who hosts Bikes for Kids, an annual fundraiser to provide new bikes to foster children. Stoke was a "passionate supporter," contributing bikes and organizing fire department contributions, Blankenheim said.
As the Stoke family grew, they spent weekends and vacations with the DiMatteo family, with summertimes spent planning camping trips.
Stoke was a great guy with whom to camp, said DiMatteo: “If something broke, he had a way of fixing it."
The families were camping together in Oregon when word came that the Carr Fire had ignited. They cut their vacations short. Stoke and his family went home on July 26, 2018, the day the fire entered west Redding. DiMatteo and his family followed that evening, DiMatteo said.
Stoke was last seen helping people evacuate, according to a Cal Fire report. He was driving south on Buenaventura Boulevard when a Cal Fire captain saw a fire whorl spinning nearby. Stoke twice broadcast a call for help on his radio, saying he “needed a water drop and was getting burned over." When an engine captain requested Stoke's location, there was no response, according to the report.
While DiMatteo was driving home, his boss called to ask if he knew Stoke's location. “I thought, ‘This guy could get himself out of anything,’” DiMatteo said. But calls to his friend’s cell phone kept going to voicemail.
When he pulled into Redding at 11 p.m., DiMatteo joined the search for Stoke. Hours later, they found Stoke's body, DiMatteo said.
“I was just with him that morning. I thought, I should have done everything in my power to stop him. We were the same age. We were going to retire together,” he said.
Mourners filled the Redding Civic Auditorium to remember Stoke on Aug. 11, 2018. The funeral included helicopter and airplane flyovers, fire engines with their lights flashing, bagpipers playing and an honor guard. Stoke's casket arrived following a procession through Redding.
The community's outpouring of charity and good will toward those who lost the most in the fire would have made Stoke proud, said DiMatteo, who still carries the speech he gave at his friend’s funeral in his uniform pocket.
Survivors celebrate Stoke's legacy
In the months that followed Stoke's death, his friends and family founded the Jeremy Stoke Legacy Fire Foundation to fund scholarships for Shasta College Fire Academy students.
The foundation is also helping the Redding Fire Department gather donations to build a memorial on Churn Creek Road, Stoke Buchner said. The memorial "will serve as a peaceful location for the community to recognize those who have selflessly served and protected the City of Redding,” the fire department posted on Facebook in June.
Each semester, fire academy faculty pick an outstanding graduate to receive the Jeremy Stoke Top Axe Award in memory of the alum and instructor, said Shasta College spokesman Peter Griggs. “For firefighters, the axe is both their foundational tool and symbolic of their dedication and service to others."
The award "honors Jeremy’s devotion to the trade and his ultimate sacrifice,” Griggs said.
“Jeremy would hate to be identified as a hero, but it my mind he was,” said Blankenheim, who lost his home in the Carr Fire.
In April, 2023, Stoke Buchner married Pat Buchner, who "tirelessly helps" her continue Stoke’s legacy through the foundation, she said. “I married another fireman. I know what happened to Jeremy was a fluke and I pray it never happens to anyone again.”

Tornadoes hit hard in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, in the southeastern corner of the state. Cody McDaniel, the county's emergency manager, confirmed one death although he didn't immediately provide details.
The small town of Idabel saw a church, medical center and a school torn apart.
“There was total destruction on the south and east sides of Idabel,” Steven Carter, an emergency management coordinator for McCurtain County, told the Texarkana Gazette.

Carter told the paper people were still trapped late Friday.
Gov. Kevin Stitt said search-and-rescue teams and generators were being sent to the Idabel area.
“Praying for Oklahomans impacted by today’s tornadoes,” Stitt tweeted.
Keli Cain of the Oklahoma Emergency Management Office said at least three other counties were also hit by storms, with flash flooding in some areas.

The National Weather Service said tornadoes also were reported in Texas and Arkansas and a storm system was heading toward Louisiana.
In Texas, authorities in Lamar County said at least 50 homes were damaged or destroyed and 10 people were treated at one hospital, including two with critical injuries. No deaths were immediately reported.
Judge Brandon Bell, the county’s highest elected official, declared a disaster in the area, a step in getting federal assistance and funding. Bell’s declaration said at least two dozen people were injured across the county.
One community hit hard was Powderly, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of Idabel and about 120 miles (193 kilometers) northeast of Dallas. Both Powderly and Idabel are near the Texas-Oklahoma border.

The Lamar County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management said the tornado touched down shortly after 4 p.m. and traveled north-northeast through the communities of Hopewell, Caviness, Beaver Creek and Powderly.
Randi Johnson, chief of the Powderly Volunteer Fire Department, told The Paris News newspaper that she wasn’t aware anyone had been killed but knew of injuries.
“It’s going to take a long time to get this cleaned up, but the community came together,” Johnson said. “It’s really heartbreaking to see.”
Churches opened their doors to serve as shelters for those whose homes were impacted. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/1-dead-dozens-hurt-as-tornadoes-hit-Texas-and-17560515.php | 2022-11-05 08:53:50 | 1 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/1-dead-dozens-hurt-as-tornadoes-hit-Texas-and-17560515.php |
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Record global ocean heating has invaded Florida with a vengeance.
Water temperatures in the mid-90s (mid-30s Celsius) are threatening delicate coral reefs, depriving swimmers of cooling dips and adding a bit more ick to the Sunshine State’s already oppressive summer weather. Forecasters are warning of temperatures that with humidity will feel like 110 degrees (43 degrees Celsius) by week’s end.
If that’s not enough, Florida is about to get a dose of dust from Africa’s Saharan desert that’s likely to hurt air quality.
The globe is coming off a week of heat not seen in modern measurements, the World Meteorological Organization said Monday, using data from Japan’s weather agency to confirm unofficial records reported nearly daily last week by the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer. Japan reported the global average temperature on Friday was half a degree (0.3 degrees Celsius) warmer than its past record hottest day in August 2016.
Global sea surface temperatures have been record high since April and the North Atlantic has been off-the-charts hot since mid-March, meteorologists report as climate change is linked to more extremeand deadly events.
“We are in uncharted territory and we can expect more records to fall,” said WMO director of climate services Christopher Hewitt. “This is worrying news for the planet.”
Now it’s Florida’s turn.
Water temperature near Johnson Key came close to 96 degrees (35.6 degrees Celsius) Sunday evening, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration buoy. Another buoy had a reading close to 95 (35 Celsius) near Vaca Key. These are about 5 degrees warmer than normal this time of year, meteorologists said.
“That’s incredible,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Orrison. “The water is so warm you really can’t cool off.”
While the 95- and 96-degree readings were in shallow waters, “the water temperatures are 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit around much of Florida, which is extremely warm,” said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. He said his 95-degree pool doesn’t cool him — it just leaves him wet.
Water temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and Southwest Atlantic are 4 to 5 degrees (2 to 3 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal, Orrison said. Because the water is so warm, the air in Florida gets more humid and “that’s making things tougher or more oppressive for people who are going to be out and about,” he said.
The heat dome that baked Texas and Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans, Orrison and McNoldy said.
Not only will it stick around for a while as weather patterns seem stuck — a sign of climate change, some scientists contend — “it may actually tend to get a little bit worse,” Orrison said, with extra heat and humidity that has NOAA forecasting a heat index around 110 by weekend.
It could be worse. Air temperatures of 110 are forecast for the U.S. Southwest, including Arizona, New Mexico and southeast California, Orrison said. Death Valley should see highs of 120 to 125 by the end of the week, and possibly a highly unusual 130.
At Hollywood Beach, south of Fort Lauderdale, Monday’s 91 degrees were about average and Glenn Stoutt said the breeze made him fine to do lunges with a 15-pound weighted ball and calisthenics — though he wore shoes on the blazing sand.
“It’s funny to watch the new people and the tourists get about halfway out and realize their feet are getting scorched,” Stoutt said. “They start running, but it doesn’t matter how fast you run, you need to get them in the water.”
Scientists worry about the coral in that warmed-up water.
“There’s a good chance of heat stress accumulating very early in the season so we could be looking at nasty bleaching,” said International Coral Reef Society’s Mark Eakin, a retired top NOAA coral reef scientist. Bleaching weakens coral; it takes extended heat to kill it.
“We are already receiving reports of bleaching from Belize, which is very alarming this early in the summer,” said scientist Liv Williamson of the University of Miami’s Coral Reef Futures Lab. She said global projections give a 90% chance for major bleaching on many reefs, including in Pacific Islands along the Equator, the eastern tropical Pacific in Panama, the Caribbean coast of Central America, and in Florida.
“This is only July, this heat will just keep accumulating and these corals will be forced to deal with dangerously warm conditions for much longer than is normal,” Williamson said in an email.
Coral bleaching and die-offs are becoming more frequent with climate change, especially during an El Nino, with Australia’s Great Barrier Reef losing half its coral during the last supersized El Nino in 2016, Williamson said.
Scientists say a new El Nino is part of the reason for the current heat, along with ever-increasing warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.
Then there’s that Sahara dust.
With little rain to keep the soil grounded, it’s common this time of year for plumes of dust particles from the Sahara Desert to blow across the Atlantic on upper-level winds. It takes strong winds to push them all the way to Florida so it doesn’t happen often.
One plume settled over South Florida on Monday, and the next plume was expected later in the week, said Sammy Hadi, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Miami. The plumes typically stay two to three days, and dry the atmosphere so there are fewer of the afternoon rains that are typical for Florida summers.
One plus: sunlight bouncing off those dust particles produces more vivid sunrises and sunsets.
“In general, it makes the sunrises and sunsets more vibrant and beautiful,” Hadi said.

Indiana officer killed during traffic stop; suspect arrested
Published: Jul. 31, 2022 at 1:46 PM EDT|Updated: 8 minutes ago
ELWOOD, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana police officer was fatally shot during a traffic stop early Sunday.
The officer worked for the Elwood police department, 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis. Police said the officer stopped the driver of a Buick LaCrosse just after 2 a.m.
State police say a driver got out of his vehicle and shot the officer. The suspect was captured roughly 30 minutes later.
Madison County Sheriff Scott Mellinger says he’s gone from “being prayerful to being angry.”
The prosecutor’s office says the suspect has a criminal record, which includes a conviction in 2006 for firing a gun at Indianapolis officers. No names were released.

WASHINGTON, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees have reaffirmed the 'Mutual Aid and Assistance Pact,' an agreement established for both unions to work together to achieve shared goals and initiatives.
The pact outlines how the unions will address organizing efforts, deal with jurisdictional issues and fight in conjunction to meet the goals of economic justice for their respective memberships.
The Teamsters and IATSE last affirmed this pact in 2010. Since then, the two unions have worked alongside one another to navigate the dynamic nature of the motion picture industry, the safety protocols for the COVID-19 pandemic and solidarity in contract campaigns. In Hollywood, both unions participate in the Motion Picture Industry Pension and Health Plans.
"The Teamsters are our natural allies. They work side by side with our members for the same employers, and they face the same challenges we do with respect to our standard of living, and health and retirement benefits," said Matthew Loeb, IATSE International President.
The recommitment to this pact is further establishing the relationship between the Teamsters and the IATSE under the new Teamster leadership of General President Sean M. O'Brien.
"We proudly stand with our IATSE brothers and sisters. By reaffirming this pact, we will ensure the best representation possible for our members in the motion picture industry," O'Brien said. "When union workers are united—fighting for the greater good—it strengthens the entire labor movement."
In March, O'Brien appointed Teamsters Local 399 Secretary-Treasurer Lindsay Dougherty as the Director of the Teamsters Motion Picture and Theatrical Trade Division.
"We are up against some of the largest corporations in the world. As they continue to make exorbitant profits off the hard work of our members, it's essential for us to build power together at work, and across the bargaining table," said Dougherty, who also serves as Local 399 Principal Officer and International Vice President. "I look forward to growing the solidarity and strategy between the two unions for the ultimate benefit of our members and their families."
ABOUT IATSE
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE (full name: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada), is a labor union representing over 160,000 technicians, artisans and craftspersons in the entertainment industry, including live events, motion picture and television production, broadcast, and trade shows in the United States and Canada.

68 dead, 4 missing after plane crashes in Nepal resort town
By Upendra Man Singh, Sheikh Saaliq and Anish Bhattarai – Associated Press
POKHARA, Nepal (AP) — A plane making a 27-minute flight to a Nepal tourist town crashed into a gorge Sunday while attempting to land at a newly opened airport, killing at least 68 of the 72 people aboard. At least one witness reported hearing cries for help from within the fiery wreck, the country’s deadliest airplane accident in three decades.
Hours after dark, scores of onlookers crowded around the crash site near the airport in the resort town of Pokhara as rescue workers combed the wreckage on the edge of the cliff and in the ravine below. Officials suspended the search for the four missing people overnight and planned to resume looking Monday.
Local resident Bishnu Tiwari, who rushed to the crash site near the Seti River to help search for bodies, said the rescue efforts were hampered by thick smoke and a raging fire.
“The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said.
It was not immediately clear what caused the accident, Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority said.
A witness said he saw the aircraft spinning violently in the air after it began descending to land, watching from the terrace of his house. Finally, Gaurav Gurung said, the plane fell nose-first towards its left and crashed into the gorge.
The aviation authority said the aircraft last made contact with the airport from near Seti Gorge at 10:50 a.m. before crashing.
The twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft, operated by Nepal’s Yeti Airlines, was flying from the capital, Kathmandu, to Pokhara, located 200 kilometers (125 miles) west. It was carrying 68 passengers including 15 foreign nationals, as well as four crew members, Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement. The foreigners included five Indians, four Russians, two South Koreans, and one each from Ireland, Australia, Argentina and France.
Images and videos shared on Twitter showed plumes of smoke billowing from the crash site, about 1.6 kilometers (nearly a mile) away from Pokhara International Airport. The aircraft’s fuselage was split into multiple parts that were scattered down the gorge.
Firefighters carried bodies, some burned beyond recognition, to hospitals where grief-stricken relatives had assembled. At Kathmandu airport, family members appeared distraught as they were escorted in and at times exchanged heated words with officials as they waited for information.
Tek Bahadur K. C., a senior administrative officer in the Kaski district, said he expected rescue workers to find more bodies at the bottom of the gorge.
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who rushed to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu after the crash, set up a panel to investigate the accident.
“The incident was tragic. The full force of the Nepali army, police has been deployed for rescue,” he said.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it’s still trying to confirm the fate of two South Korean passengers and has sent staff to the scene. The Russian Ambassador to Nepal, Alexei Novikov, confirmed the death of four Russian citizens who were on board the plane.
Omar Gutiérrez, governor of Argentina’s Neuquen province, reported on his official Twitter account that an Argentine passanger on the flight was Jannet Palavecino from his province.
The Facebook page of Palavecino says she was manager of the Hotel Suizo in Neuquen city.
On the page, she described herself as a lover of travel, and of adventure tourism. “I am passionate about the mountains! Riding my bike in cycling. I love my garden and the countryside. I like to paint!” she wrote.
Her account has many photos of her in the mountains.
Pokhara is the gateway to the Annapurna Circuit, a popular hiking trail in the Himalayas. The city’s new international airport began operations only two weeks ago.
The type of plane involved, the ATR 72, has been used by airlines around the world for short regional flights. Introduced in the late 1980s by a French and Italian partnership, the aircraft model has been involved in several deadly accidents over the years.
In Taiwan two earlier accidents involving ATR 72-500 and ATR 72-600 aircrafts happened just months apart.
In July 2014, a TransAsia ATR 72-500 flight crashed while trying to land on the scenic Penghu archipelago between Taiwan and China, killing 48 people onboard. An ATR 72-600 operated by the same Taiwanese airline crashed shortly after takeoff in Taipei in February 2015 after one of its engines failed and the second was shut down, apparently by mistake.
The 2015 crash, captured in dramatic footage that showed the plane striking a taxi as it hurtled out of control, killed 43, and prompted authorities to ground all Taiwanese-registered ATR 72s for some time. TransAsia ceased all flights in 2016 and later went out of business.
ATR identified the plane involved in Sunday’s crash as an ATR 72-500 in a tweet. According to plane tracking data from flightradar24.com, the aircraft was 15 years old and “equipped with an old transponder with unreliable data.” It was previously flown by India’s Kingfisher Airlines and Thailand’s Nok Air before Yeti took it over in 2019, according to records on Airfleets.net.
Yeti Airlines has a fleet of six ATR72-500 planes, company spokesperson Sudarshan Bartaula said.
Nepal, home to eight of the world’s 14 highest mountains, including Mount Everest, has a history of air crashes. According to the Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety database, there have been 42 fatal plane crashes in Nepal since 1946.
Sunday’s crash is Nepal’s deadliest since 1992, when all 167 people aboard a Pakistan International Airlines plane were killed when it plowed into a hill as it tried to land in Kathmandu.
The European Union has banned airlines from Nepal from flying into the 27-nation bloc since 2013, citing weak safety standards. In 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization cited improvements in Nepal’s aviation sector, but the EU continues to demand administrative reforms.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A dive boat captain pleaded not guilty in federal court for a second time to manslaughter in the fiery deaths of 34 people trapped below deck on his burning vessel three years ago off Southern California.
A federal grand jury issued a new indictment last month alleging that captain Jerry Boylan acted with gross negligence aboard the Conception during one of the deadliest maritime disasters in recent U.S. history. A judge had thrown out the original case against Boylan on the third anniversary of the Sept. 2, 2019, tragedy.
Boylan made a brief appearance Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, and his trial was scheduled for Dec. 20.
Boylan faces 10 years in prison if convicted of a single count of misconduct or neglect of a ship officer — a pre-Civil War statute known as “seaman’s manslaughter” that was designed to hold steamboat captains and crew responsible for maritime disasters.
All 33 passengers and a crew member who were trapped in the Conception’s bunk room died.
Boylan, who frantically radioed for help after he and four crew members sleeping above deck awoke to the fire, was the first man overboard and then told his crew to abandon ship rather than fight the fire, the indictment said.
He is accused of failing to train his crew, conduct fire drills and post a roving night watchman on the boat.
Prosecutors brought the second case against Boylan after U.S. District Judge George Wu in September dismissed the original indictment because it did not mention gross negligence, an element required to prove the crime.
The subsequent indictment alleges Boylan “acted with a wanton or reckless disregard for human life by engaging in misconduct, gross negligence and inattention to his duties.”
Officials blamed the owners of the vessel, Truth Aquatics Inc., for a lack of oversight even though federal safety investigators never found the cause of the fire. The owners, Glen and Dana Fritzler, have not been criminally charged.
Truth Aquatics is seeking to avoid payouts to the families of the victims under a provision in federal maritime law. Family members of the dead have filed claims against the Fritzlers and the company, and have sued the U.S. Coast Guard.
Family members of those who perished at sea showed up for Boylan’s arraignment and said it has been a trying three years seeking accountability.
“It’s been a long journey, a very hard journey. And learning to live with grief is very difficult,” said Susana Solano Rosas, who lost three daughters in the fire. “Today means that hopefully we can see a little bit of justice. … The court is going to move along and try this man, try this captain who allowed our 34 to be killed and burned on that boat.” ___

KENMORE, N.Y. (AP) — Freshman Sydney Yost’s bid to establish a flag football program at her all-girl high school already has its first fan: NFL Vice President Troy Vincent.
This week, the former player visited Mount St. Mary Academy in suburban Buffalo, New York, to help Yost achieve the objective she and two classmates proposed in September and then laid out in a letter to him.
An avid Bills fan, Yost said she and her family started throwing around a football outside for exercise during the pandemic. With few avenues available for girls to play the sport, Yost wondered whether flag football could be an option.
“The topic we kept coming back to is that flag football should be an inclusive program. This is the main reason why we want to start one,” she wrote to Vincent. “It will empower women to be successful in a sport that is traditionally played by men.”
During his visit on Wednesday, Vincent not only provided Yost and school officials advice on how to establish a program, but also vowed to attend the first game.
“I will be here,” Vincent said. “There will be a program here. I’m committed to it.”
His visit coincides with the NFL’s growing push to promote flag football, particularly for girls and women, as pro sports leagues compete for new fans in an increasingly digital age.
On Friday, the league released to its 32 teams a standardized guide providing steps to assist schools on how to establish flag football programs. With it comes an allotment of grants, with the NFL projecting it will cost about $9,000 a year per team to cover coaching salaries, referee costs, equipment and other fees.
There’s an estimated 20 million people playing flag football in 100 countries, with the U.S. accounting for about 600,000. And six states have sanctioned girls flag football as a varsity sport, with 20 more launching pilot programs. A push is also being made to have flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The NFL is even shifting to flag football, with the upcoming Pro Bowl featuring seven-on-seven games to replace the traditional AFC vs. NFC full-contact all-star game after years of criticism over the quality of play.
Vincent was struck by his two granddaughters’ reaction to attending the NAIA flag football championship in Atlanta in May.
“My younger granddaughter, she’s pointing at me, but I know she’s seeing herself on the field,” Vincent said, noting they’re normally accustomed to attending NFL games. “She’s seeing a young lady. So that was taking them out to experience and see what they could be.”
Yost was amazed her letter led to Vincent’s visit. And classmate Haley Karaszewski, who assisted in the proposal, said: “I think it’s really good because you watch football on TV and you really want to be a part of it, but you can’t. So this includes everybody.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Chevron said on Tuesday it reported how much money it made in January from selling gasoline in California, disclosing the data after regulators threatened to fine the company for not following a new law aimed at investigating the cause of the state's high gas prices.
The law requires oil companies to report their monthly “gross refining margin,” the difference between how much refineries paid for crude oil and how much the company sold it for as gasoline. State lawmakers and regulators believe the data will give them a clearer picture of what has driven sharp increases in California's gas prices, which are consistently the highest in the nation.
Chevron spokesperson Ross Allen said the company filed a “revised response” late Tuesday afternoon with regulators that included the data required by law. He said the company was never out of compliance with the law, noting they began reporting the data March 2 — the deadline for oil companies to report January pricing data — and supplied the rest of the information after seeking clarification from the California Energy Commission.
“Since the statutory guidance was unclear, rather than speculate and supply inconsistent and potentially inaccurate data, Chevron exercised its statutory right to object and seek clarification in a timely manner,” Allen said.
State law requires much of the data to remain confidential. Representatives with the Energy Commission did not respond late Tuesday afternoon to confirm if Chevron had filed the data.
Gas in California is always more expensive because the state has higher taxes and fees than other states and requires a special blend of fuel that's better for the environment but more expensive to produce.
Last summer, however, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in California was more than $2.60 higher than the national average, a difference that regulators and state lawmakers said was too large to be explained by taxes and fees.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has accused the state's big five oil companies of price gouging. He has asked the state Legislature to pass a first-in-the-nation law that would penalize oil companies once their profits surpassed a certain threshold.
The proposal is still pending in the state Legislature. But starting in January, a new law required oil companies to disclose more data about their pricing. That data could serve as the threshold for any new penalties on oil profits in the future.
Of the big five oil companies that provide 97% of the state’s gasoline, four of them met the March 2 deadline for reporting January pricing data: Marathon Petroleum Corporation, PBF Energy Inc., Phillips 66 and Valero Energy Corp., according to the California Energy Commission, which collects the data.
Chevron only submitted a “small fraction of the data required,” according to the commission, and objected to reporting anything else. The California-based company accounts for about 30% of all gasoline sold in the state, giving it the largest share of the market.
In a letter to the Energy Commission dated March 2, Chevron attorney Melissa Sladden asked the commission to delay enforcing the law in favor of a lengthy rule-making process to clarify which data must be reported. Sladden said the data required by the law “paints a false picture of actual refinery profit margins by significantly undercounting refinery costs.”
“Getting this term right is doubly important as it is currently being contemplated by legislators as a measure on which to impose a tax on refiners,” Sladden wrote. “Legislating or regulating based on inaccurate data could result in unintended consequences, such as decreased investment in gasoline production and higher long-term prices at the pump.”
Regulators responded by warning Chevron that the company had until Tuesday to disclose the data or face penalties, which could include fines of up to $2,000 per day.
Allen said Chevron was “disappointed” that their letter to the Energy Commission that objected to disclosing the data was made public. He said the law and the commission's information request “falls short of the transparency and trust that should inform good policymaking.”
The dispute reflects a larger conflict between the oil industry and Newsom, who is just beginning his second term and is seen as a possible presidential candidate one day. Newsom has pushed aggressive climate policies, including banning drilling new oil wells within homes, schools and community sites.
The oil industry is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the state, donating lots of money to state lawmakers' political campaigns. The industry is backing a referendum to overturn the ban on drilling oil wells near sensitive sites. And Newsom's proposal to penalize oil companies for making too much money has made little progress so far in the state Legislature, with several Democrats voicing concerns about it during a public hearing last month.
State Sen. Ben Allen, a Democrat from Santa Monica who authored the law requiring oil companies to disclose more pricing data, said before the latest Chevron filing that it was “disappointing” the company had not disclosed the data.
“The fact that all of the other industry players were able to do it and they weren’t, I just don’t know what’s going on with them,” he said. “We’re going to hold them accountable.”

Amanda Batula is seemingly earning a little extra respect from Paige DeSorbo.
In ET's exclusive sneak peek at Thursday's all-new episode of Winter House, Paige and Amanda sit down for a little heart to heart, where Amanda asks Paige how she feels about the Vermont vacation experience so far. It's the longest stretch of time Paige has spent with boyfriend Craig Conover, and it quickly becomes clear, Paige needs advice from Amanda. She's spent her entire Summer House life defending (and sometimes deflecting) her now-husband, Kyle Cooke's, antics.
"This is, like, the first time we've hung out in a group setting like this and it's a lot different than I thought it was going to be," Paige confesses, referencing the altercation Craig got into with fellow housemate Luke Gulbranson, after Craig thought Luke was being too touchy-feely with Paige and co-star Jessica Stocker, a newcomer to the group.
"If he gets into a fight with someone -- like, him and Luke ended up getting into it -- I, like, scrammed," Paige continues. "Skedaddled up to my room because I was like, I don't even know what this is about."
"I normally try to stop Kyle and I definitely tell him when he's wrong," Amanda starts to offer, before Paige adds that Craig is "very sensitive" and "likes to be treated like a baby."
"I can kinda tell," Amanda replies, as the clip cuts to a confessional interview with the graphic designer.
"When Kyle's acted out, Paige has had no problem telling him he's in the wrong," Amanda admits, a montage of moments featuring Paige slamming Kyle's behavior over the years following close behind. "But when it's the person that you love, you're in a very weird place where you don't want to upset them... especially in the beginning."
Watch it all play out here:
Speaking with ET ahead of the premiere, Paige admitted it was "things I wasn't worried about" when it came to Craig that caused her the most anxiety in the house.
"I think I put so much pressure on myself because I have never lived with a boyfriend, and I feel like that's a big step, like, I don't take moving in lightly, so I was like, what if I just find out that there's certain things I don't like? And things I was worried about I feel like never were a problem," she shared. "It is a different relationship to navigate when your partner is also friends with your friends, has his own relationship with them, and if they get into a disagreement, you know, what is my role? And so, I think I leaned on Amanda a lot."
"We were in the first six months of our relationship, so I think that is the most fun time, the most blissful," Paige added. "I think if we weren't so good in the first six months then, what are really doing? What's the point? So, I think that we were great in Vermont, in terms of our relationship, but also Kyle and Amanda were newlyweds, so it was so nice to see them in that phase of their relationship and so happy and so cute, so I think there's a lot of good relationships."
Winter House airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

The Greater Birmingham YMCA announced Tuesday it is permanently closing its downtown location at the end of the year, citing lasting effects from the pandemic and inflation, among other causes.
The Downtown Y has served the community for 36 years after opening at 2201 Fourth Ave. North in 1986.
“Over the last few years, the downtown area employment base has shifted, decreasing the demand for a Y of this size in our current location. This shift is evidenced by the decreasing level of membership and use of the Downtown Y and influenced many members to relocate their membership and usage to other Y locations,” the Greater Birmingham YMCA said in a notice to members Tuesday, according to WBRC.
“These factors, combined with the lasting effects of the pandemic, inflation, and rising costs associated with an aging facility, have led us to begin identifying more suitable locations in the downtown area to more effectively meet the current demands and needs of the area,” the noticed continued. “Current and potential economic forces make this an unpredictable timeline of completion. While future plans are being pursued, it is with regret that we announce the current Downtown YMCA facility will permanently close December 31, 2022.”
The Greater Birmingham YMCA’s executive director could not immediately be reached to confirm the report.
In October, the Y indicated it was pursuing selling the downtown building. | https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2022/11/greater-birmingham-ymca-reportedly-permanently-closing-downtown-location-dec-31-after-36-years.html | 2022-11-09 02:12:36 | 0 | https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2022/11/greater-birmingham-ymca-reportedly-permanently-closing-downtown-location-dec-31-after-36-years.html |

Myanmar to release former British envoy, Australian economist in prisoner amnesty, state media says
By Alex Stambaugh and Heather Chen, CNN
A former British ambassador, an Australian economist and a Japanese journalist are reportedly set to be released by Myanmar’s ruling military junta under an amnesty — along with more than 6,000 other prisoners.
Vicky Bowman, Sean Turnell and Toru Kubota are among 5,774 male and 676 female prisoners being freed to mark Myanmar’s national day, state media reported Thursday.
Pardons were granted on “humanitarian grounds,” according to the media reports, and follow criticism of the junta at a recent summit of Southeast Asian leaders.
Myanmar has been in political turmoil since the military staged a coup in February 2021 by arresting civilian leaders including Aung San Suu Kyi — who remains in prison amid a slew of charges which critics say are politically motivated.
Since then the junta has arrested thousands of people for protesting against military rule as well as a handful of foreigners.
Bowman, who served as the United Kingdom’s top diplomat in Myanmar between 2002 and 2006, was arrested and charged with immigration offenses along with her Burmese husband in August and sent to Yangon’s notorious Insein Prison. Reuters reported that her husband, artist Htein Lin, would also be released in the amnesty.
Australian Turnell, who served as an economic adviser to Suu Kyi’s cabinet, was detained shortly after the coup and sentenced to three years in prison in September for violating the country’s Official State Secrets Act in a ruling that was condemned by the Australian government.
Japanese documentary filmmaker Kubota had been sentenced to 10 years in prison in October on charges which included violating immigration laws for entering the country on a tourist visa to film protests.
The Japanese Embassy in Myanmar said on Thursday it had been notified by authorities that Kubota would be released later in the day.
This isn’t the first time Myanmar’s military has released political prisoners. In October 2021, the military freed more than 5,600 people arrested for protesting against military rule.
The news comes after Southeast Asian leaders gathered in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh for the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, where the Myanmar conflict was among topics discussed.
The junta has faced increasing criticism within the region after failing to implement a peace plan negotiated in April of last year.
Myanmar remains part of the ASEAN bloc despite objections from global rights groups. But junta officials have been barred from sending political-level representatives to key events.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican culture, not independence
PHOENIX (AP) — American bars and restaurants gear up every year for Cinco de Mayo, offering special deals on Mexican food and alcoholic drinks for the May 5 holiday that is barely celebrated south of the border.
In the United States, the date is largely seen as a celebration of Mexican American culture stretching back to the 1800s in California. Typical festivities include parades, street food, block parties, mariachi competitions and baile folklórico, or folkloric ballet, with whirling dancers wearing shiny ribbons and braids and bright, ruffled dresses.
For Americans with or without Mexican ancestry, the day has become an excuse to toss back tequila shots with salt and lime and gorge on tortilla chips smothered with melted orange cheddar that’s unfamiliar to most people in Mexico.
That’s brought some criticism of the holiday, especially as beer manufacturers and other marketers have capitalized on its festive nature and some revelers embrace offensive stereotypes, such as fake, droopy mustaches and gigantic straw sombreros.
THIS YEAR’S CELEBRATIONS
With May 5 falling at the end of the work week this year, festivities are kicking off Friday evening with happy hours and pub crawls in cities including Hollywood, featuring $4 beers and two-for-one margaritas, and a boozy party aboard a yacht on Chicago’s Lake Michigan with música norteño, or northern Mexico music, and ballads called corridos.
Celebrations are planned throughout the weekend, especially in places with large Mexican American populations, such as Los Angeles, Houston, New York, San Antonio and Washington, D.C.
A Sunday festival in downtown Phoenix will feature performers including Los Lonely Boys, who describe their music as “Texican rock,” as well as lucha libre, or wrestling matches with masked adversaries. A Cinco de Mayo parade will take place in Dallas on Saturday, while a Holy Guacamole Cinco de Mayo Run steps off that morning in Palisades Park in Santa Monica, California.
WHAT IT IS
Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. The triumph over the better equipped and more numerous French troops was an enormous emotional boost for the Mexican soldiers led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza.
Historical reenactments and parades are held annually in the central Mexico city of Puebla to commemorate the inspirational victory over the Europeans, with participants dressed in historical French and Mexican army uniforms.
WHAT IT ISN’T
Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, Mexico’s most important holiday.
Mexicans celebrate their country’s independence from Spain on the anniversary of the call to arms against the European country issued Sept. 16, 1810, by the Rev. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a priest in Dolores, Mexico.
Mexico’s president reenacts el Grito de Independencia, or the Cry of Independence, most years on Sept. 15 at about 11 p.m. from the balcony of the country’s National Palace, ringing the bell Hidalgo rang.
The commemoration typically ends with three cries of “¡Viva México!” above a colorful swirl of tens of thousands of people crowded into the Zócalo, or main plaza, in central Mexico City.

Who had Brad Pitt and Emily Ratajkowski on their 2022 bingo card?
Yes, you read that right. The Oscar winner, 58, and the My Body author—fresh off a split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard—have been "casually" hanging out, a source told E! News.
"Emily is putting herself out there and enjoys the company," the insider shared. "She's trying to keep busy and not focus on the divorce. Her and Brad met through mutual friends in the industry. It was causal and friendly."
As for what those outings entail? Brad—who shares kids Maddox, 21, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, with ex Angelina Jolie—and EmRata (mom to Sylvester Apollo Bear, 18 months) have enjoyed dinners at NYC's Pearl Oyster Bar, with an eyewitness noting it "looked like a date."
E! News has reached out to both reps but has not yet heard back.
Since filing for divorce in earlier this month, the supermodel has been prioritizing herself—and her baby boy. "Emily's really bummed about it for the sake of their son, but is trying to move forward and stay positive," a separate source previously told E!. "She's taking it day by day."
Since Sylvester's birth last year, Emily has made it clear she's making motherhood a focus.
"I look at my son and tell him he's beautiful at least once a day," Emily shared with Marie Claire in November 2021. "Because it's what I'm looking at…I gave birth to him, and he's growing and he's so beautiful."
As for the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor? Well, he dabbles in the dating scene in a "low key way," a source explained over the summer.
"He enjoys getting out and socializing, but does so very privately," the insider added. "He is enjoying people for different walks of life and is inspired."
Now, perhaps, he's found his muse. | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1348182/inside-brad-pitt-and-emily-ratajkowski-s-casual-hang-outs?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-09-28 02:34:21 | 0 | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1348182/inside-brad-pitt-and-emily-ratajkowski-s-casual-hang-outs?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories |
