VILAS, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The man killed in a crash on a highway in Watauga County Monday morning was a former firefighter and EMT who recently served as the county’s assistant fire marshal.
The Cove Creek Volunteer Fire Department said 43-year-old Raymond Jefferidge Kerley worked in the fire industry for 18 years.
“Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of a friend and fellow firefighter,” Interim CCVFD Chief Steve Marks said. “We continue to hold each other and Jay’s entire family up in prayer as we grieve this tragic loss to our community.”
The N.C. State Highway Patrol said Kerley died after a 2008 Ford F250 was traveling north on US 321 near Phillips Branch Road around 8:15 a.m. when the truck ran off the road to the right, overcorrected, crossed the centerline and collided with a southbound 2012 Ford Escape and a 2002 Ford F250.
The former firefighter was identified as the driver of the 2002 pickup. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
After getting his start with the Cove Creek Volunteer Fire Department, officials said Kerley spent nine years with the Boone Fire Department.
In 2017, Kerley moved to the Watauga County Fire Marshal’s Office and served as assistant fire marshal and emergency management coordinator until 2022.
“[Kerley] was a good man, a humble servant of his community, and an incredible father. That is the best legacy any of us can hope for. Our prayers are for those left behind and the family he loved most of all,” Watauga County Emergency Services said in a statement.

Troopers said 28-year-old Jeremy Daniel Denny, the driver of the 2008 Ford F250, was arrested after the crash and charged with felony death by vehicle, felony serious injury by vehicle, driving while impaired and reckless driving.
The driver of the Ford Escape was critically injured in the collision and taken to the hospital.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Voters in West Virginia will get the final say on a ballot question that would amend the state constitution to give the Republican-dominated legislature control over virtually every aspect of public schooling.
The vote comes amid a fight raging nationally over the politicization of schools. West Virginia’s Republican leaders have joined politicians elsewhere in pushing to regulate how subjects such as race are taught in classrooms and funnel public money into alternative education options, including charter schools and voucher programs.
Just this year, the state Board of Education joined a lawsuit against top Republicans over a school choice program — one of the nation’s most expansive — alleging it unconstitutionally drains money from public schools. The case went to the state Supreme Court, which sided with lawmakers.
And in a state that once was a stronghold of organized labor, some see the proposed amendment as part of an effort to defang the most formidable center of union power left standing: public school employees. Four years after more than 30,000 school workers went on strike in one of the nation’s poorest states, igniting teacher walkouts nationwide, many say they’re overworked and exhausted.
Teachers say some of the problems that drew them to the picket lines in 2018 and 2019 — high teacher vacancy rates, falling test scores, lack of mental health support — worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now lawmakers are trying to assert more control. Dale Lee, the head of the state’s largest public educators’ union, said educators feel “disrespected” and called the proposed amendment “just another way of our politicians trying to erode our public schools with their own private agenda.”
“When you hear politicians start out the discussion with ’Trust me,’ you know you’re in trouble,” said Lee, president of the West Virginia Education Association.
By law, all government agencies in West Virginia are required to submit new rules and regulations each year to lawmakers for final approval. The only agency exempt is the Department of Education. Amendment 4 would change that.
GOP lawmakers say people making decisions about schools should be accountable to voters. West Virginia’s governor-appointed and senate-confirmed state school board members serve nine-year terms — the longest in any U.S. state — and can’t easily be removed.
Republican House Majority Leader Amy Summers said lawmakers want to give parents a greater voice in their children’s education.
“What you find is people don’t like accountability,” she said. “They don’t like you to question what they’re doing.”
But Democratic Del. Sean Hornbuckle, one of the few Black lawmakers in West Virginia and a member of the House Education Committee, said Republicans have no business taking over public schools when they’ve consistently failed to help them.
“Why would we hand over everything to the Legislature when we haven’t been doing our job to begin with?” he said.
He said his colleagues prefer to take up “social issues that don’t move the agenda just for political posturing.”
This past legislative session, he said, lawmakers spent weeks on a bill that would restrict how public educators teach students about race, but refused to take up proposals to end inequities between white and Black students around school discipline, with Black students more likely to be punished.
Union representatives cite a slew of “retaliatory” laws passed since they went on strike that they say have harmed teachers and drained resources from traditional public schools, including a law barring public employees from striking and the push for charter schools.
The Hope Scholarship Program, the school choice initiative that the state Supreme Court affirmed, offers families $4,300 a year in state money for each child they move out of public school and into private education or homeschooling.
Jason Huffman, West Virginia director for Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group that supports Amendment 4, said the people of West Virginia have made it clear they want more alternatives to public education by electing representatives who support them. But education decisions in West Virginia, he said, are being influenced by outside groups including unions, “largely political organizations” that push their own agenda — one he feels flies in the face of what voters want. Americans For Prosperity is funded by Koch Industries.
Senate Education Committee Chairwoman Amy Grady said she hopes putting the board of education under legislative control will encourage better communication.
“It can’t be a ‘us versus them’ kind of mentality,” she said. “The Legislature making changes that the department (of education) is not on board with really doesn’t benefit anybody.”
Grady, a public school teacher who participated in the 2018 teachers’ strike, said she was inspired to run for office because of that experience, but left the union when her local union representatives declined to support her in the race because she’s a pro-school-choice Republican.
“When it comes to education, it should just be black and white, it should be, ‘Is this good for students or is it not?’” she said. “But unfortunately, it gets turned around to where it is political.”
Amber McCoy, a fourth-grade teacher in Huntington, said she sees a class divide emerging in the education system — exacerbated by the pandemic — in which kids who don’t have support at home fall further behind.
McCoy said parents in Huntington, where one in three people lives below the poverty line, need public schools to be open so they can work. They can’t afford to homeschool their children or provide transportation to charter or private schools.
She said programs such as the Hope Scholarship give resources to kids who “already had a leg up.”
“Public education is the pathway out of poverty for most children in the state of West Virginia,” she said. “We’re creating an educational system of the haves and the have-nots.”
Every teacher she knows has considered leaving the field, she said.
“Nobody wants to do this anymore,” she said. “I don’t know at what point the general public gets the message or feels the concern, but it’s like a five-alarm fire raging and the only people that recognize it are the ones trapped in the building.”

Police: Man killed himself after ramming US Capitol barrier
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man drove his car into a barricade near the U.S. Capitol early Sunday and then began firing gunshots in the air from the burning car before fatally shooting himself, police said.
The incident happened just before 4 a.m. at a vehicle barricade set at East Capitol Street and 2nd Street in Washington.
It comes at a time when law enforcement authorities across the country are facing an increasing number of threats and federal officials have warned about the potential of violent attacks on government buildings in the days since the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
The attack is reminiscent of an incident when a man drove a vehicle into two Capitol Police officers at a checkpoint in April 2021, killing an 18-year veteran of the force. And many on Capitol Hill remain on edge after supporters of the then-president stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Authorities said the man, whose identity has not been released, crashed into the barricade and that as he was getting out of the car, the vehicle became engulfed in flames. The man then opened fire, firing several shots into the air as police approached.
Capitol Police said the man shot himself as the officers neared. He was later pronounced dead.
Police said “it does not appear the man was targeting any member of Congress” and that investigators are examining the man’s background as they work to try to discern a motive. Both the House and Senate are in recess and very few staff members work in the Capitol complex at that hour.
Authorities said no other injuries were reported and police do not believe any officers returned fire.

Here are several ways to make sure that your tax return is prepared and filed as quickly (and as accurately) as possible.
• Keep tax documents in one place. Missing tax documents are one of the biggest reasons that filing a tax return gets delayed! If you receive documents via both physical mail and e-mail, it’s even more important that you have one place to store all your documents once you receive them.
• Organize your tax documents by type. To help make filing your tax return as easy as possible, sort your tax documents in tax return order. Glance through last year’s tax return and create a folder for each section including income, business and rental information, adjustments to income, itemized deductions, tax credit information, and a miscellaneous bucket.
• Create list of special events from the previous year. You receive a Form W-2 from your employer every year. If you’re in business, you probably receive a Form 1099 from certain clients each year. But certain tax documents you won’t see each year. Selling a home doesn’t happen every year for most people. Likewise with getting married (or divorced) or sending a kid to college. So create a list of special events that have happened over the past year, as some of these occasions may affect your taxes.
• Don’t forget your signature! You (and your spouse, if married) must sign and date your tax return if physically mailing it to the IRS. Forgetting your signature could delay the processing of your return (and potential tax refund!) by up to several months. If e-filing, don’t forget to sign Form 8879. This form authorizes the e-filing of your tax return.
• E-file your return. The IRS has struggled over the past 3 years to process paper-filed tax returns. In 2021, this backlog reach more than 20 million tax returns. You can avoid getting your physical return potentially misplaced by the IRS by e-filing. Even better, you can typically receive any refunds within one to two weeks when e-filing.
These are some of the more common reasons why the preparation and filing of your tax return may get delayed. Be prepared and file your return this year without a hitch!
One of my primary objectives is to help you achieve your financial goals through a holistic approach that is tax-efficient in my wealth management and tax resolution practice. For more information, visit www.fredtfoxiii.com.

Late one Thursday night at his San Francisco animation studio, “Bob’s Burgers” creator Loren Bouchard fiddled with the strings on his ukulele, trying to find the right melody. But there was something he couldn’t ignore.
It was the distant sound reverberating from the nightclub below him on 16th and Harrison. On that evening in 2008, a weekly drum-and-bass night was in full swing at the now-shuttered El Rincon.
“It was thumping up through the floor,” Bouchard told SFGATE. “Not a good environment to be recording in, but here’s the funny thing: I was on to something with those chords.”
After a few minutes of listening to the DJ and experimenting with the key and tempo on his own instrument, Bouchard came up with the song that would become the iconic theme for the show’s opening sequence, setting the tone for the high jinks of the loving but lawless Belcher family that would play out in each episode.
“And that’s the recording that’s on TV today,” Bouchard said.
Just over a decade later, “Bob’s Burgers” has become one of the most well-known animated family comedies on television, joining the ranks of “The Simpsons,” “King of the Hill,” “The Flintstones” and “Family Guy.” Now approaching its 13th season, the series won two Emmy awards in 2014 and 2017, released a soundtrack of 90 popular songs on Sub Pop Records and will have its own feature film released on Friday.
“The Bob’s Burgers Movie” takes the typical beats of a 20-minute-long episode and kicks them up a notch in a musical comedy-meets-murder mystery that asks what would happen if Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) Belcher were faced with the closure of their restaurant – a fate all too familiar to the industry, especially during the pandemic. But if Gene (Eugene Mirman), Louise (Kristen Schaal) and Tina (Dan Mintz) have anything to say about it, they could save the family burger joint just in time for the summer.
While the animated series has garnered a cult-like fandom that spans the globe, Bouchard said “Bob’s Burgers” has “deep San Francisco roots” – namely in the Mission District, where Bouchard used to live and work, and a neighborhood he never planned on leaving.
“I was going to be buried there. That was my idea,” he said.
Drawing funny
During the mid-aughts, Bouchard lived with his wife and baby on the upper floor of a two-story apartment building just down the street from Atlas Cafe. At the time, he had just wrapped the ‘90s-era Comedy Central sitcom, “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist,” and was working on “Lucy, The Daughter of the Devil,” a dark animated comedy that ran for a single season on Adult Swim.
While developing a new show with writer Nora Smith that would eventually become “Bob’s Burgers,” a friend encouraged Bouchard to get in touch with then-barista and local artist Jay Howell, who sold some of his comics from behind the counter at the neighborhood staple.
“A lot of people draw well, but very few people draw funny, and it’s remarkable how funny Jay’s drawings are,” Bouchard said. “So I paid for my coffee and asked to see his work, and bam, he had a zine right there. I knew I wanted him to design the characters on ‘Bob’s.’”
Howell, who grew up in Pleasanton and moved to San Francisco in 2004, described the city then as a “creative explosion” and a “huge incubator” for local artists. The gig at Atlas Cafe was his first job in the city, but he spent most of his time making zines and skateboard art, taking inspiration from Barry McGee, a graffiti artist and prominent figure in the Mission School art movement, the distorted feedback of now-legendary garage rockers Thee Oh Sees, and punk shows at the Eagle and Bottom of the Hill.
“Meeting Loren really changed my life,” Howell said via phone from his home in Los Angeles. He ultimately left San Francisco to become a showrunner for the Nickelodeon series “Sanjay and Craig,” and now counts Vans, Gucci and Creature Skateboards among his clientele. “I was super excited to meet a working cartoonist, and he was really kind to me and open to checking out my stuff.”
When Bouchard shared the initial premise for the show with Howell, it was far more grim. At first, the plot revolved around a family of cannibals that lived next door to a funeral home and served human meat to the customers. Fox’s studio executives vetoed the cannibalism concept almost instantly, but as Howell continued to develop the characters, the show snowballed from there. (The first design for “Bob’s Burgers” was much more disturbing, but the approved pilot still has much of the same script and preserved the original title: “Human Flesh.”)
Howell said Bouchard would send him long, detailed emails with descriptions of each character, which were based on YouTube clips of the voice actors – all stand-up comedians from the East Coast who had already been cast. John Roberts, for instance, was known for making parody videos of his own mother, which helped inform Linda’s character. His red wig and sunglasses also inspired her look.
A number of comics and movies provided inspiration for the rest of the characters. Tina, who was originally a 13-year-old boy named Daniel, is loosely based on Enid Coleslaw from Daniel Clowes’ graphic novel “Ghost World.” Louise’s pink bunny ears were included because he liked the aesthetic of Bunny Boy’s character in the 1997 Harmony Korine film, “Gummo.” Howell also wanted to create a distinctive silhouette for her that audiences could identify instantly.
“I wanted every character to stand out like 'The Simpsons' did,” he said. “It made her weird and cool and whimsical.”
Bob’s character, however, was somewhat of a reflection of himself, Howell said.
“The best tool you can have as a cartoonist is a mirror,” he said. “I have a beer gut. I have a big nose. I have a bald spot on my head. Bob isn’t quite me, but he’s based on my goofy shape, maybe. And I love a guy with a hairy chest.”
During that time, Howell’s routine was textbook Mission District.
“I’d return from Loren’s, draw, go to the corner store by Thieves Tavern, draw, buy a couple of tallboys of Budweiser, head to El Farolito, buy some more tallboys, draw, then go to the Attic or the Knockout,” he said. “I was definitely nervous, but excited. I knew I had to really shoot my shot on this show.”
Burger of the day
Meanwhile, Bouchard tapped muralist Sirron Norris to create the background art for “Bob’s Burgers,” bringing the Mission District’s candy-colored Victorian architecture to life.
“I knew his work from walking around the Mission. His murals were everywhere, and he knew how to capture what made those buildings unique.” Bouchard said. “He’s really part of the DNA of the show in a lot of ways.”
On a recent Tuesday morning at his art studio near 24th and Bryant streets, Norris idly itches at a new tattoo of the “Bob’s Burgers” restaurant inked into his forearm. On the other arm is the face of one of his signature blue bears.
“It’s been over 10 years, so I feel like it’s part of the zeitgeist now,” he said, while revisiting some of his preliminary designs from the show. “I’ve been opening up files and sketches I haven’t looked at in more than a decade. We wanted to create something that lasted, and it’s pretty incredible to see what the show has become.”
One of Norris’ first murals in San Francisco was at Norm’s Market on 20th and Bryant, just a couple of blocks away from Bouchard’s house and Atlas Cafe. When Bouchard approached him to work on the show, Norris spent hours walking around the Mission District to pin down every visual detail, from the electric lines criss-crossing overhead to the colorful storefronts and steep staircases. Then, he’d return to his studio to draw, in addition to assisting with a slew of other art-related tasks to get the show’s demo (about half of a pilot episode) off the ground.
“It was a lot of work. I’d say 12 to 15 hours a day, for a good six months at least,” Norris said, noting they started working on the show in fall 2008, and finished production in summer 2009.
During that time, Bouchard was taking pictures in restaurants all over the city for inspiration. But nothing quite clicked until he stepped inside Just for You Cafe in Dogpatch.
“I looked in the window and saw something big,” he said. “Like, bolt of lightning big.”
It was the pass-through between the kitchen and the front counter where customers place their orders, which he likened to “a children’s puppet theater.”
“You can basically see it as its own little stage,” he continued. Bouchard asked Norris to draw an interior modeled after Just For You so they could stage scenes in which Bob could banter with his family while at the grill.
At the 34-year-old brunch spot just two miles east of Norris’ studio, the cushy diner stools are absent from the wooden countertop. A marlin – or “an outside protein,” as Kuchi Kopi would call it – adorns the back wall. But the shelves of beer, wine and condiments, as well as the pass-through, still bear a striking resemblance to the restaurant in “Bob’s Burgers” today.
The current owner of Just for You, Reid Hannula, said he had no idea his restaurant had been immortalized in the animated series.
“It was a total surprise, but we’re absolutely over the moon about it,” he said.
Hannula added that he was a fan of the show and felt a connection to its portrayal of a mom-and-pop business, seeing characteristics of his own five children in Tina, Gene and Louise.
“My son was helping me out with dishes when he could barely reach the sink, and they were always running around the restaurant,” he said. “There’s a comfort in those similarities.”
Now, he plans to frame a photo of the Belcher family's restaurant to display on the wall and add his own “Burger of the Day” to the menu.
“We just have to figure out what to call it,” he said with a laugh.
Order up
Notably, “Bob’s Burgers” is not set on the West Coast, primarily because of the voice actors, according to Bouchard. That said, a number of other places in the Bay Area, like the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and the Winchester Mystery House, may have influenced the look of the Wonder Wharf amusement park and Mr. Fischoeder’s mansion, respectively.
But Bouchard said it was his own home in the Mission that left the largest imprint on the show.
“It is square foot by square foot identical to the Belcher’s apartment. Not the color, but the layout and the way the building looks from the outside,” he said. “And then downstairs, we just plopped the restaurant right in there and made it fit. That really helped me to be able to be an expert on that building.”
There was never a question as to whether H. Jon Benjamin, a longtime collaborator of Bouchard’s, would play the role of the Belcher family patriarch. It’s an unmistakable voice that has remained consistent throughout his motley career of scene-stealing characters, from the son of “Dr. Katz” to Coach McGuirk in “Home Movies” and the eponymous “Archer.” But the actor said his character in “Bob’s Burgers” is the one he’s most recognized for by far.
“It’s a show that crosses generations in its audience,” he said. “You have kids who are at a very young age and their parents watching it together. I meet kids who have grown up with Bob. I meet kids who are college age or in their mid-20s who started watching 'Bob’s' with their parents when they were 10.”
It’s an unexpected development, despite the fact that both Bouchard and Benjamin said they approached the series in the same way they have for previous shows they’ve teamed up on.
“It’s a sort of weird and bizarre and wonderful kind of accident that ‘Bob’s’ happens to be consumed by this large audience,” Bouchard said. “But in a lot of ways, I think Jon and I both kind of squint at that, and then just get back to the work. And we do the same work that we were doing when only a few people ever saw the show.”
And even though Bouchard ultimately made the decision to set “Bob’s Burgers” on the East Coast, Benjamin joked that he still makes sure to acknowledge its Bay Area beginnings.
“I’ll add that I’m doing a San Francisco accent. That’s what I committed to doing early on in the show,” he said in his trademark gruff monotone. “I don’t know if people in San Francisco picked that up, but that was my tip of the cap to that area. You can hear it. I’m doing it now.” | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/How-Bobs-Burgers-was-created-in-San-Francisco-17174561.php | 2022-05-26 14:05:56 | 1 | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/How-Bobs-Burgers-was-created-in-San-Francisco-17174561.php |
NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Revered industry leader Matthew D. Upchurch, Chairman and CEO of leading global luxury travel network Virtuoso®, became the proud recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award this week. The award, which pays tribute to individuals whose efforts have led to extraordinary results within an organization and who have also made significant contributions to the industry as a whole, was given by Travel Weekly during their Readers Choice Awards, held Wednesday, December 14, at New York's Museum of Natural History.
Longtime friend and Four Seasons Yachts CEO Larry Pimentel had the distinction of introducing Upchurch during the ceremony, sharing collective sentiments from Virtuoso members, partners and other industry professionals. Pimentel shared, "Matthew is a great storyteller, a luxury leader and a passionate innovator. He is also the strongest advocate of the travel advisor because he listens, he acts, and he really cares. He is the global exemplar of the travel advisor champion and an ambassador for travel in general."
Upchurch is known for his strong, unwavering leadership combined with passion and great humanity, which was a sentiment repeated throughout the presentation by Virtuoso members, partners and team members. His life's work has been dedicated to elevating the travel advisor profession into one that is valued, respected, fulfilling and on par with other professional services within the luxury sector. Having served on both sides of the equation – both as a travel agency owner as well as on the supplier side – Upchurch's balanced perspective is focused on creating a virtuous circle that ensures each side is successful. Combined with his overarching philosophy that travel is a force for good, he strives to create a better Return on Life™ for all within his network – agency owners, frontline travel advisors, preferred partners and travelers, alike.
The evening's presentation was even more meaningful as it included a tribute to Upchurch's father, the late industry pioneer Jesse Upchurch, who received the same award in 2008. Travel Weekly bestowing this honor upon Matthew Upchurch marks the first time two generations of the same family have been recognized in this way. Upchurch was joined at the ceremony by his wife and children, who also delivered heartfelt messages to their father through a video presentation shown during the ceremony.
Upchurch was not the only Virtuoso honored during the evening. Anne Morgan Scully, a longtime Virtuoso advisor and prominent presence within the network, was also a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. Upchurch delivered a heartfelt introduction, speaking of Scully's contribution to the industry and her commitment to mentoring younger advisors entering the profession. He shared Scully's famed phrase for clearly stating the value travel advisors provide and the reason why even the most powerful client needs an advisor in their corner: "Because you can't VIP yourself."

TEXAS, USA — The month of September is Sickle Cell Awareness month and the goal is to raise awareness of the disease to the public.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report Sickle Cell Disease affects millions of people throughout the world and is particularly common among those whose ancestors came from sub-Saharan Africa; Spanish-speaking regions in the Western Hemisphere (South America, the Caribbean, and Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy.
Sickle Cell is a disease that affects the body's red blood cells. While sickled red blood cells travel through small blood vessels, they get stuck and clog the blood flow. Because, people with Sickle Cell deal with severe pain on a daily basis.
Tiara Byrd was born with Sickle Cell and has had to adjust to the disease throughout her life. Byrd also mentioned preparation and staying aware of her body has helped her throughout her life while living with this disease.
She appreciates the month of September because many people who aren't aware of what Sickle Cell is have the chance to hear the stories of survivors and give back to the cause.
"Any opportunity that I have to educate the public on what I live with on a daily basis, what one in 100 African Americans deal with on a daily basis. just taking that opportunity to let them know, hey we're here, hear our voice. Allocate funds towards our research like any other illness. So it just really just means a lot to me," Byrd said.
Paul Gakpo was diagnosed at 9 months old and lost his twin brother to the disease in 2004. Now, he wants any one who has the disease or is diagnosed to understand their bodies and know the signs to look out for.
"Know when to push back against doctors when you feel like they're not telling you something that seems correct. You're just gonna have to be your number one advocate and learn about this disease because there's not much research out there so far. There's not much good data that we can rely on. But find yourself a community and don't be afraid to ask questions," Gakpo explained.
To further treat Sickle Cell warriors, the U.S. Congress proposed the Sickle Cell Care Expansion Act in June to improve the quality of life for people suffering from sickle cell disease. The hope is the bill will increase the number of qualified physicians who specialize in Sickle cell disease. | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/health/sickle-cell-awareness-month/500-464a5a48-61d9-4fc6-9b03-94fa21a10b2c | 2022-09-14 01:12:30 | 1 | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/health/sickle-cell-awareness-month/500-464a5a48-61d9-4fc6-9b03-94fa21a10b2c |

MCCARRAN, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada company that recycles batteries for electric vehicles has won a $2 billion green energy loan from the Biden administration.
Redwood Materials, a recycling venture founded by the former chief technology officer at Tesla Inc., secured the conditional loan from the Energy Department’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, which helped Tesla more than a decade ago.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced the grant Thursday at Redwood’s facility in Nevada with Gov. Joe Lombardo, where they spoke from a stage to dozens of employees.
“This region is leading the way to a broader story of what is happening in the country,” Granholm said, pointing to a map of 80 battery manufacturing or supply chain companies that are expanding or opening in the U.S. Most have been announced in response to the infrastructure law President Joe Biden signed in 2021 and the climate law he signed last year, she said.
Battery recycling will help the U.S. establish its own electric-vehicle supply chain, a major goal of the Biden administration as it seeks to move away from gas-powered cars in the larger fight against climate change. Biden also has promoted domestic production of critical minerals used in EVs and other electronics, as part of the climate fight and to counter China’s longtime dominance in the supply chain.
With Redwood and other projects underway, “China might be starting to worry,″ Granholm boasted. “And to that I say we’re just getting started.″
The Energy Department said its conditional commitment demonstrates its intent to finance the Nevada project, but several steps remain before officials approve a final loan.
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by Jeffrey “JB” Straubel, Tesla’s former chief technology officer. It now has more than 300 employees who recycle used batteries and has supply contracts with Ford and with Panasonic, which makes batteries for Tesla.
Straubel said the company already has more material than it can process from spent consumer batteries from lawnmowers, cellphones and toothbrushes, as well as production scraps from lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
The company says it can recover more than 95% of the elements in a spent battery, including lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and copper. The metals are then used to make anode and cathode components for new battery cells.
Redwood Materials “is going to play this outsized role in bringing the batteries supply chain home — because you’re focused on the pieces that we don’t have in the United States,” Granholm told employees at Thursday’s event. “You guys are making history in this.”
Redwood Materials is expected to create about 3,400 construction jobs and employ about 1,600 full-time workers, the department said.
Redwood Materials’ history in Nevada started under former Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval, who was in attendance on Thursday. It continued under Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak before the loan was conditionally approved under Lombardo, who acknowledged he was a latecomer to negotiations. The investments and subsequent jobs help fulfill a campaign pledge by Lombardo and past governors to diversify Nevada’s casino and tourism-based economy.
“This is what we’re going to have to do to have success in the state of Nevada,” Lombardo said. “We can’t have all our eggs in one basket.”
In December, the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development awarded $105 million in tax incentives to Redwood, the second-largest capital investment in the office’s history, behind Tesla.
Last month, the Energy Department announced a conditional loan of $700 million to an Australian company to mine lithium in northern Nevada as the U.S. seeks domestic supplies for the key component in electric vehicle batteries.
Redwood also has announced plans to build a $3.5 billion battery manufacturing and recycling factory in South Carolina.
Once fully operational, the battery materials campus in McCarran, Nevada, outside Reno, will be the first domestic facility to support production of anode copper foil and cathode active materials for a lithium-ion battery manufacturing process. The process would recycle end-of-life battery and production scrap and remanufacture it into critical materials, the Energy Department said in a blog post.
Straubel, Redwood’s CEO, told The Associated Press last year that recycling battery materials will help the U.S. establish its own electric-vehicle supply chain. China now dominates the EV supply chain, including critical minerals needed for EV batteries.
“Redwood fills a critical gap in that whole piece, and our goal is to close the loop on all the materials that we’ve already mined and produced into products, keep them in the regions where they were bought and are being used,” Straubel told the AP. “Every battery that we can recycle is one battery worth of materials that we don’t need to mine again.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals exercised the fifth-year contract option for star quarterback Joe Burrow on Tuesday as they move toward signing him to a long-term deal.
The Bengals said in a statement that they took the “mechanical step” with Burrow and his representatives, who have had talks with the team about his future.
NFL teams had until May 2 to exercise fifth-year options for first-round picks in the 2020 class, and Burrow, the first player taken that tear, has already proven to be worth any extra financial investment.
Since bouncing back from a season-ending knee injury as a rookie, Burrow has gone 20-10 as a starter while leading the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in 2022. The 26-year-old has passed for more than 4,400 yards in each of the past two seasons with 69 touchdown passes.
Burrow made the Pro Bowl for the first time last season and led the Bengals back to the AFC title game, where they lost a rematch against Kansas City.
It’s possible Burrow’s new deal could eclipse the record-setting package Philadelphia recently gave quarterback Jalen Hurts, who got a five-year, $255 million contract that included $179 million guaranteed.
Burrow began his college career at Ohio State before transferring to LSU and leading the Tigers to a national championship. The Bengals selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft.

US agency identifies remains of soldier killed in France during WWII
DANA, Ind. (AP) — The remains of an Indiana soldier who was killed in France during World War II have been identified by U.S. military scientists more than 75 years after his death.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced Tuesday that the remains of U.S. Army Pfc. Leonard E. Adams, 25, of Dana, Indiana, were identified in July 2022, although his family only recently received a full briefing on his identification.
Adams died in January 1945 when he and other members of Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division were surrounded by German forces and pounded by artillery and mortar fire while helping secure terrain near Reipertswiller, France.
Only two U.S. soldiers made it through the German lines, and the rest were either killed or captured, DPAA said. Adams was among those killed, but his body could not be recovered because of the fighting.
Starting in 1946, military personnel searched the area around Reipertswiller and eventually found 37 unidentified sets of American remains. One of those sets of remains was exhumed in July 2021 from Ardennes American Cemetery and transferred to the DPAA Laboratory for analysis.
Adams’ remains were identified through dental and anthropological analysis, circumstantial evidence and an analysis of mitochondrial DNA, the DPAA said.
The agency said Adams’ remains will be buried in Radcliff, Kentucky, although the date of that burial has not yet been determined.

NEW YORK (AP) — On air quality maps, purple signifies the worst of it. In reality, it's a thick, hazardous haze that's disrupting daily life for millions of people across the U.S. and Canada, blotting out skylines and turning skies orange.
With weather systems expected to barely budge, the smoky blanket billowing from wildfires in Quebec and Nova Scotia and sending plumes of fine particulate matter as far away as North Carolina and northern Europe should persist into Thursday and possibly the weekend.
That means at least another day of a dystopian-style detour that's chased players from ballfields, actors from Broadway stages, delayed thousands of flights and sparked a resurgence in mask wearing and remote work — all while raising concerns about the health effects of prolonged exposure to such bad air.
The weather system that's driving the great Canadian-American smokeout — a low-pressure system over Maine and Nova Scotia — "will probably be hanging around at least for the next few days,” U.S. National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Ramsey said.
“Conditions are likely to remain unhealthy, at least until the wind direction changes or the fires get put out,” Ramsey said. “Since the fires are raging — they’re really large — they’re probably going to continue for weeks. But it’s really just going be all about the wind shift.”
Across the eastern U.S., officials warned residents to stay inside and limit or avoid outdoor activities again Thursday, extending "Code Red" air quality alerts in some places for a third straight day as forecasts showed winds continuing to push smoke-filled air south.
The smoke has moved over Greenland and Iceland since June 1, and was expected to reach Norway on Thursday, the Norwegian Climate and Environmental Research Institute said, but wasn't expected to be a health concern.
In Washington D.C., the roads were unusually clear as many stayed home and about half the people on the streets wore their pandemic-era masks. The local D.C. government canceled all outdoor activities at public schools and local senior centers, closed all public parks, suspended work by city road construction and paving crews, and delayed trash collection.
The poor air quality also forced the closing of the National Zoo, a popular tourist attraction in the nation’s capital. Zoo officials said they were taking the action “for the safety of our animals, our staff and our guests."
In suburban Philadelphia, officials set up an emergency shelter so people living outside can take refuge from the haze.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a briefing Thursday in Albany that “this continues to be a public health crisis,” with the worst air quality since at least the 1960s.
“This is not over. We might get a little respite, but I don’t want people to let down their guard and to become complacent about this because we have to be prepared for the winds to shift. This is the unknown,” Hochul said.
The message seemed to be getting through. Hochul said state officials have not noticed a spike in people going to emergency rooms, though there were a few hospitals New York City reporting more patients coming in.
More than 400 blazes burning across Canada have left 20,000 people displaced. The U.S. has sent more than 600 firefighters and equipment to Canada. Other countries are also helping.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to President Joe Biden by phone Wednesday. Trudeau's office said he thanked Biden for his support and that both leaders “acknowledged the need to work together to address the devastating impacts of climate change.”
Canadian officials say this is shaping up to be the country's worst wildfire season ever. It started early on drier-than-usual ground and accelerated quickly. Smoke from the blazes has been flowing into the U.S. since last month but intensified with recent fires in Quebec, where about 100 were considered out of control Wednesday.
The smoke was so thick in Canada's capital, Ottawa, that office towers just across the Ottawa River were barely visible. In Toronto, Yili Ma said her hiking group canceled a planned hike this week, and she was forgoing the restaurant patios that are a beloved summer tradition in a nation known for hard winters.
“I put my mask away for over a year, and now I’m putting on my mask since yesterday," Ma lamented.
Eastern Quebec got some rain Wednesday, but Montreal-based Environment Canada meteorologist Simon Legault said no significant rain is expected for days in the remote areas of central Quebec where the wildfires are more intense.
In the U.S., federal officials delayed some flights bound Thursday morning for New York's LaGuardia Airport; Newark, New Jersey; and Philadelphia because smoke was limiting visibility. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it will likely need to take steps to manage the flow of air traffic into Washington, D.C., and Charlotte, North Carolina, as well.
Major League Baseball's Yankees, Phillies and Nationals had their games postponed. Hochul said air quality could affect the Belmont Stakes scheduled for Saturday in the New York City area.
On Broadway, “Hamilton” and “Camelot” canceled Wednesday performances and “Prima Facie” star Jodie Comer left a matinee after 10 minutes because of difficulty breathing. The show restarted with an understudy, show publicists said.
It was not to be at Central Park's outdoor stage, either. Shakespeare in the Park canceled its Thursday and Friday performances of “Hamlet,” saying ’tis not nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of wretched air.

WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Young climate activists from African nations have high demands but low expectations for the U.N. climate conference which begins Sunday in the Egyptian coastal resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Observers and organizers of the COP27 summit have made much of its location, branding the conference as an “African COP” where the positions of African countries on issues like finance for adapting to climate change or moving to renewable energy sources will be central to the talks.
Activists hope that's true.
“For COP27 to be the 'African COP’, the needs, voices, and priorities of the African people need to be reflected in the outcome of the negotiations," Kenyan climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti told The Associated Press. "COP27 is a chance to bring justice to the most impacted countries through global solidarity and cooperation.”
Analysts point to sticking points between richer and poorer nations, such as questions around whether vulnerable countries should receive compensation for climate-related catastrophes, known as “loss and damage” in climate negotiations, as hindering progress at previous summits.
Some youth activists, like Wathuti, say that the continent should be looking to rich nations for massive emissions cuts and for compensation for loss and damage caused by climate catastrophes. Africa is responsible for only 3% to 4% of global emissions despite having 17% of the world’s population but it is more vulnerable than most places as many people, especially those outside urban centers, are less able to adapt.
“Financial delivery is fundamental to enable the development of Africa," Wathuti said. "The African population is growing rapidly and securing energy for people will be crucial to combat poverty and create opportunities for a higher quality of life.”
Others say African countries need to look inward as developed nations have failed to keep their promises.
Hounaidat Abdouroihamane, an activist from the Comoros Islands said Africa should stop relying on developed countries for funding.
“Why should we beg the polluters for answers and money when we know so well they will not provide it and if they do, it will be in the form of a loan?” asked Abdouroihamane, adding the continent should “put in adaptation measures that are easy and less costly to implement” such as better management of water resources and reforesting and restoring land.
Developed nations have already failed to fulfill pledges on climate change funding, including a $100 billion-a-year pledge that is two years past its deadline and hasn't yet been fulfilled.
Wathuti said that the negotiations should be about “accountability” and hoped the conference will address the “delivery of promises made but not met.”
Ugandan activist Vanessa Nakate agreed that financing from developed countries was central for the continent to achieve its aims.
“The $100 billion promised is no longer enough. There needs to be additional finance," Nakate told the AP, adding there needs to be a separate fund for loss and damage.
116 million people in Africa’s coastal states and islands face sea-level risks and by 2050 African nations are projected to spend $50 billion annually on climate-related impacts, the U.N. weather agency said.
“We know what needs to be done about climate change. But what we lack is political will to actually do something," said Nakate, adding that vulnerable communities direly need funds to help prepare for climate-related disasters.
Wathuti, Nakate and Abdouroihamane are part of a growing number of young people in Africa and around the world who have been running grassroots projects in their respective countries and call on national and international governments to do more on climate change and biodiversity loss. Abdouroihamane is actively involved in waste management projects, Nakate spearheads the installation of clean cookstoves and solar panels in schools in her native Uganda, and Wathuti leads a forest restoration project in Kenya.
Although activists have long been part of the conversation, many feel that they are not listened to. Increasingly, climate campaigners particularly in Europe have started taking drastic measures to make their arguments heard, including throwing food at famous paintings or gluing themselves to roads to a mixed reception.
“There are efforts to increase youth participation, but more often than not, young people are put in meetings to fill a seat,” Wathuti said. “For youth participation to be truly meaningful, young people need support to navigate the intricate spaces of climate negotiations."
She added: “Young people have not caused the situation we are in, but young people are the solution. That is why participation of youth is key in high level forums like COP27.”

BEIJING (AP) — China reported Thursday that 239 people died from COVID-19 in June in a significant uptick months after it lifted most containment measures.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention had reported 164 deaths in May and none at all in April and March.
China started employing a “zero-COVID” containment strategy in early 2020 and credits the strict lockdowns, quarantines, border closures and compulsory mass testing with significantly saving lives.
But the measures were lifted suddenly in December with little preparation, leading to a final surge in which about 60,000 people died, according to the official toll. Deaths this year peaked in January and February, hitting a high of 4,273 on Jan, 4, but then declined gradually to zero on Feb. 23, according to the Chinese CDC.
Chinese health officials didn’t say whether they expect the trend to continue or if they would recommend for preventative measures to be restored.
Two of the deaths in June were from respiratory failure caused by infection, while the CDC said the others involved underlying conditions. Those can include diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses.
Between Jan. 3, 2020, and July 5, 2023, China reported 99,292,081 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 121,490 deaths to the World Health Organization.
Experts estimate that many hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps more, may have died in China — far higher than the official toll, but still a significantly lower death rate than in the United States and Europe. | https://www.koin.com/news/health/ap-health/ap-china-says-239-people-died-from-covid-19-in-june-in-a-significant-uptick/ | 2023-07-06 21:30:31 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/news/health/ap-health/ap-china-says-239-people-died-from-covid-19-in-june-in-a-significant-uptick/ |
Flat Belly Tea is a weight loss beverage that helps consumers to improve their weight loss without taking on a new diet or exercise routine. The hot sweet tea beverage can be easily made each morning to help its users lose weight by supporting a metabolic transformation.
What is Flat Belly Tea?
Getting in shape takes a lot of work, but the key to success is an opportunity to get out of a plateau. Most people take on a diet with the hopes that it will deprive them of enough calories to create a deficit, but that solution isn’t permanent. Neither is a good workout. With a supplement, users can bypass plateaus and keep eating what they want. That’s where Flat Belly Tea comes in.
Flat Belly Tea has many benefits, like:
- Reduced inflammation.
- Improved radiances in hair and skin.
- Improved energy and focus.
- Improved weight loss.
- Smoother aging
Flat Belly Tea offers everything users need to push weight loss with all these benefits and the ingredients to back them up. The morning drink is prepared with just a scoop of the powder and a cup of warm water, taking almost no time to get ready.
How Does Flat Belly Tea Work?
To make Flat Belly Tea effective, it is packed with potent superfoods that most consumers are already familiar with. Those ingredients include:
- Turmeric
- Cinnamon
- Coconut milk powder
- Ginger extract
- Black pepper extract
- Acacia fiber
- Monk fruit
Turmeric
Turmeric has maintained its role as one of the most popular ingredients in the supplement industry, reducing inflammation so effectively that most people use it as natural joint support. It is used in the Flat Belly Tea as it can also support weight loss using a 4:1 variation. It has thousands of years of use to back it up, helping them to increase energy levels.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the essential ingredients in Flat Belly Tea. It provides flavor, but it also helps users to improve their insulin sensitivity. It enhances the user’s weight loss efforts, and it does so safely and healthily.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk powder is an excellent source of MCT oil, which is highly potent in supporting weight loss. It helps the body to metabolize lipids effectively, using them to boost the user’s natural energy levels. It also makes the formula easier to absorb, promoting improved nutrient absorption.
Ginger
Ginger was added to the Flat Belly Tea Blend because it is one of the most extraordinary natural ingredients to improve digestion or reduce inflammation. It can help users reach their weight loss goals as it metabolizes lipids. It also supports heart health as it lowers cholesterol levels and supports managing healthy blood pressure levels.
Black Pepper
The extract from black pepper might be a strange inclusion to some people, but it serves a much higher purpose – making all the ingredients in the Flat Belly Tea more potent. When users consume black pepper extract, the enzymes often break down all the elements, allowing the nutrients to work without losing potency.
Acacia Fiber
Acacia fiber serves as a prebiotic for consumers. Most people have heard about probiotic bacteria and the effect it has on balancing the health of the gut. With a prebiotic, those new bacteria are nourished safely and healthily, keeping them active until they are needed again. They support healthy digestion for anyone.
Monk Fruit
Monk fruit provides users with incredible sweetness without having to use refined sugar. The sweetness comes from crushing the seeds and skin before creating a juice. The resulting liquid gives up to 200 times the sweetness consumers get from sugar, and no calories are involved.
Buying Flat Belly Tea
With the unique recipe involved with Flat Belly Tea, consumers want to ensure they get what they need. For that reason, the creators do not allow any third-party retailers (online or in person) to sell their products, giving them greater control over the pricing.
The retail cost of Flat Belly Tea would be $99.95, but the official Flat Belly Tea website has several packages with incredible promotions to drive down the price. Currently, Flat Belly Tea offers:
- One jar for $69.00
- Three jars for $147.00
- Six jars for $234.00
To sweeten the deal, consumers can opt-in to a subscription, which saves them 10% on their order.

- Company has secured easement agreements for more than 50% of the proposed pipeline route across its entire project footprint, or approximately 1,030 total miles
- Summit Carbon Solutions has successfully partnered with nearly 2,100 landowners to sign approximately 3,400 easement agreements, distributing more than $200 million to Midwest landowners
AMES, Iowa, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating its ongoing commitment to partner with landowners across the Midwest, Summit Carbon Solutions has reached another major milestone as it continues to advance its transformative carbon capture, transportation, and storage project. By signing approximately 3,400 easement agreements totaling 1,030 miles across Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota, the company has now secured agreements for more than half of the proposed pipeline route project wide.
"Summit Carbon Solutions was formed to open new economic opportunities for ethanol producers and strengthen the ag economy that is so critical to families and communities across the Midwest," Summit Carbon Solutions CEO Lee Blank said. "Securing easement agreements for more than 50% of the proposed route across our entire project footprint demonstrates the significant momentum behind our project and the growing recognition that carbon capture, transportation and storage projects will create jobs, improve environmental outcomes, and generate new sources of revenue for local communities."
Summit Carbon Solutions is partnering with dozens of ethanol plants across the Midwest to develop the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world. Through a multi-billion-dollar private investment, these partners will be able to sell their product in the growing number of markets that pay more for low carbon fuels. California, the largest ethanol consuming state, and Canada, the largest U.S. ethanol importer, have both adopted policies that incentivize the use of low carbon fuels. Access to these markets is essential to the long-term viability of the ethanol industry that today purchases approximately 40% of all the corn grown in the United States and remains a key driver of commodity prices and land values.
In addition to driving growth in the ethanol and agricultural industries, Summit Carbon Solutions will support local economies across the Midwest by investing an average of $45 million in each of the 82 counties where the project is located during construction, which are dollars that will flow back to hotels, restaurants, hardware stores and other local businesses to generate ongoing economic growth. After construction, according to a study by global accounting leader Ernst & Young, Summit Carbon Solutions will pay an average of $930,000 in new property taxes annually to every county where the project is located, helping communities support key local priorities such as schools, road construction, public safety, and more.
In addition to crossing the 50%-mark project-wide, there are a number of counties that have far exceeded that pace, including:
"As a company rooted in agriculture, Summit Carbon Solutions is committed to partnering with farmers to drive long-term economic growth in our rural communities and we are incredibly encouraged by the number of landowners across the Midwest who have signed easement agreements to help achieve that goal," Blank said. "We look forward to continuing to meet directly with landowners in the five states where our project is proposed to be located to discuss this critical investment, answer their questions, and work together to advance the ethanol and agricultural industries that remain so vital to our state and region."
To date, Summit Carbon Solutions has distributed more than $200 million in easement payments to landowners.

Summit Carbon Solutions is driving the future of agriculture by expanding economic opportunities for ethanol producers, strengthening the marketplace for Midwest-based farmers, and creating jobs. In developing the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world, the company seeks to lower greenhouse gas emissions by connecting industrial facilities via strategic infrastructure to store carbon dioxide safely and permanently in the Midwestern United States.

CHICAGO, Ill. - It looks like it will be a special day in the world of NASCAR on Sunday, as the Cup Series prepares to fight it out on the mean streets of Chicago in the first-ever Grant Park 220.
- Watch NASCAR on FuboTV (7-day free trial) and Peacock
This will be the first time NASCAR has ever run a street course. While top series like IndyCar and Formula 1 have run through cities, but never the world’s top stock car circuit. The 2.2-mile, 12-turn circuit features three significant straights along with many hairpin, right-angle turns. It is going to test many of the series’ best, given that many of them have not driven a course like this.
In the two road course races in 2023, Tyler Reddick and veteran Martin Truex Jr. have come out on top, with drivers such as Daniel Suarez and Kyle Busch also having success in events where they have to turn right.
This is the second race of NASCAR’s second half, as Ross Chastain finally broke his schneid last Sunday at his Trackhouse team’s home circuit in Nashville, securing himself a spot in the playoffs with his first win of the season. The victory bumps him up to a tie for second in the points with William Byron, both trailing Truex.
There have been 11 different winners so far this season, with Kyle Larson, Busch, Byron and Truex having won multiple times. The driver with the most points that has yet to take home a checkered flag is the outgoing Kevin Harvick. The driver of the No. 4 machine currently has seven top-10 finishes, ending up in the top five four times as well.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AFFIRM Originals and Pure Flix proudly present "Live+Local," a new comedy series from creator Dan Merchant. The new show, starring Dave Coulier and Emily Pendergast, will be exclusively available to stream on Pure Flix on July 7. "Live+Local" tells the tale of what happens when a veteran radio talk show host and his co-host have to navigate the ups and downs of the radio world when a new program director takes over.
"The show has a theme that underdogs can win and all of us on the planet are underdogs and we look to a higher power to guide our way through all of it," said star and Executive Producer Dave Coulier. "I fell in love with the script right away. It was a great opportunity for me to bring a lot of different things I've never done before to this role. I get to be a little bit cantankerous, a little bit of a curmudgeon, but I also have a big heart. It was also fun to be able to wear a real beard."
"Live+Local" is a 6-episode series starring Dave Coulier, Emily Pendergast, Pat Cashman and Kendra Ann Sherill. The show follows the hosts of an early morning radio show on Christian station K-HUGG. Tommy (played by Dave) and Tina (played by Emily) make the dynamite combination for "TnT in the Morning."
"'Live+Local' is a love letter to all the local morning radio shows I've started my day with. There is just something so encouraging about waking up to these eccentric voices so full of personality and life so early in the day," said Showrunner Dan Merchant. "It takes a special person to bring radio to life each day and make each listener feel like a friend. I think Dave and Emily did an incredible job of bringing these hosts to life and celebrating the world of radio."
The first two episodes will be available exclusively on Pure Flix on July 7th, 2022 and a new episode will air every Thursday.
"We need this show because we need to laugh. The world is really serious right now and we need to laugh and have fun," Coulier said. "Family is very important to me - I love being a husband, I love being a dad and my whole career has been in family entertainment. I'm so honored and happy to make families laugh."
Be sure to check out the trailer for this new series today.

LONDON (AP) — A senior member of the U.K. government on Thursday rejected suggestions that Prime Minister Liz Truss should step down after lawmakers from her own party criticized Truss for economic policies that have sparked turmoil on financial markets.
During a stormy, private meeting with Conservative Party lawmakers on Wednesday evening, Truss was blasted for pursuing an economic growth strategy that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the working class voters who handed the party a landslide victory in 2019.
Truss has “trashed the last 10 years of workers’ Conservatism,” British media quoted Robert Halfon, chairman of the House of Commons Education Committee, as saying during the session.
Truss is under pressure after her plan for 45 billion pounds ($50 billion) of unfunded tax cuts triggered steep declines in the pound and government bonds. Investors are concerned the plan may lead to unsustainable borrowing because the government hasn’t provided analysis on how it will affect debt levels.
“I think that changing the leadership would be a disastrously bad idea, not just politically but also economically,” Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in an interview with the BBC. “And we are absolutely going to stay focused on growing the economy.”
Cleverly reiterated the government’s argument that the proposed tax cuts will stimulate economic growth, which will in turn generate increased tax revenue to pay for public services.
Under pressure to stabilize financial markets, Treasury chief Kwasi Kwarteng said earlier this week that he would release further details on the government’s economic plan and its impact on public finances by the end of this month. That’s three weeks earlier than previously planned. | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/uk-leader-truss-under-pressure-to-ditch-economic-plan/WPLEAF43QZH4LBADEOTE22I6AA/ | 2022-10-13 11:28:11 | 1 | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/uk-leader-truss-under-pressure-to-ditch-economic-plan/WPLEAF43QZH4LBADEOTE22I6AA/ |
Chinese 'kissing' device allows long-distance couples to virtually smooch
Just about everything is done digitally or virtually these days, and now couples can share a kiss with a new device.
A Chinese university student created the device that comes with silicone lips attached to it.
Users would plug the device into their phone and connect to an app to send their kisses out.

The device is currently being sold on China's biggest online shopping website for about $40.
Needless to say, mixed reaction flooded on social media with some grateful for the device and others being cheeped out.

KETTERING, Ohio (WDTN) — A construction project happening on a major roadway in Kettering will be starting on Monday.
The city of Kettering says beginning Monday, March 20, an installation project for water services on a new water main will impact traffic. East Dorothy Lane between Far Hills Avenue and Hathaway Road will be impacted during the project.
Drivers traveling in the affected area will need to know the changes on the roads in the area.
The south lane for eastbound traffic between Far Hills Avenue and Hathaway Road will be closed to commuters during the project. The lane going north is said to take care of the eastbound and westbound traffic. During the construction, Dorothy Lane will be limited to one lane going in each direction for travelers on the roadway and will be maintained during construction.
Crews working on the project will also be restoring the roadway. The city of Kettering says project is expected to take up to 3 weeks to complete. | https://www.wdtn.com/traffic/kettering-project-impacting-traffic-on-major-roadways-for-weeks/ | 2023-03-16 20:28:36 | 1 | https://www.wdtn.com/traffic/kettering-project-impacting-traffic-on-major-roadways-for-weeks/ |
(NEXSTAR) – Another graduating class has secured their degrees and are preparing to find jobs in an economy and market vastly different from pre-pandemic years.
When it comes to the best American cities for young professionals to launch a career in 2023, neither San Francisco nor New York City cracked to the top five, according to a new study.
A new study from Bankrate found that younger generations have different values in today’s remote work-friendly environment.
“The coronavirus pandemic pushed flexible work to no longer be a transient response but an enduring feature of the working world,” according to Alex Gailey, Bankrate analyst. “More than ever, young workers crave work-life balance, the flexibility to work remotely and higher pay – and these cities offer what young professionals are looking for.”
An April survey from LinkedIn found that a whopping majority of Gen Z professionals, 87%, would consider walking away from an employer with values – ranging from diversity to work-life balance – that didn’t align with theirs.
The top metro area, according to Bankrate, is the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown area of Texas. See the top five below:
The study’s authors looked at a number of factors including GDP per capita, year-over-year job growth, cost of living, entertainment options per capita, percentage of remote workers and more. Using those stats, they ranked the top 50 US metros based on three broad categories: affordability, employment opportunity and quality of life.
The Austin area ranked first for quality of life and third for employment, while its Pacific Northwest runner-up scored first for employment opportunities and fourth for quality of life. Austin was substantially more affordable, according to Bankrate, landing in 12th place while Seattle came out 20th.
“I didn’t really know anyone from there or who was moving there, but I kind of just fixated on it,” Ansley Bird, a 24-year-old who graduated from Wake Forest in 2021, told Bankrate. “I knew that Austin was a tech city, and that kind of goes hand in hand with job opportunities, so I knew it wasn’t gonna be a bad choice.”
If you’re fantasizing about buying a home in Austin, however, it may be worth remembering that, despite an 8% drop in the last year, average home sales in the Texas city skyrocketed during the pandemic. After jumping from roughly $398K in January, 2020 to $626K in July of last year, the average sale now hovers closer to $567K.
Rounding out the top 10 were Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, Indiana; Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri-Kansas; Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, Georgia; and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, California.
The study found that the worst five worst metros were:
Bankrate gave the Riverside area the worst possible ranking for employment opportunities and the lowly 47th spot when it comes to affordability. Birmingham, while affordable (14), ranked dead last for quality of life and 44th for employment opportunities.
Of the lowest ranked metros, the Sacramento area was the only one with a fairly high quality of life, coming in at 17. California’s capital city could have landed higher if it wasn’t for the cost of living (44) and employment opportunity rank (33). | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/these-are-the-best-us-cities-for-starting-a-career-right-now-study-finds/ | 2023-07-03 16:12:58 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/these-are-the-best-us-cities-for-starting-a-career-right-now-study-finds/ |

The new line features a blend of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics for its most comprehensive formula yet
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Garden of Life®, the carbon-neutral leader in science-based formulas made from clean, traceable, organic and non-GMO ingredients, just released a new line of Triple Action Dr. Formulated Probiotics that supports a healthy gut through a holistic blend of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. The new line comes in six different formulations, from immune support to women's pH, perfectly targeted to fit any need.
"We learn more every day about the complexity of our gut microbiome and how it affects our overall health," said Brian Ray, president of Garden of Life. "Our innovative triple-action formula provides the comprehensive gut support that's so critical to our well-being in order to empower extraordinary health."
The line of products couldn't come at a better time as many Americans look to establish more normalcy in life, yet their stomachs may be keeping them from their regular routines. New data1 from Garden of Life reveals nearly all Americans (89%) report digestive issues are keeping them from feeling their best, and for one in three people, the problem is so extreme they say it has a huge impact on their life. But Americans are taking action to improve their digestion, as more than 2 in 5 Americans (44%) report taking supplements over the last 12 months in hopes of improving their gut health.
What's Inside the Triple-Action Blend
The Garden of Life team worked collaboratively with David Perlmutter, M.D. – the actual doctor behind "Dr. Formulated" products – to create this exclusive triple action blend. As a distinguished fellow of the American College of Nutrition and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Perlmutter is often referred to as "America's Brain Health Expert."
The specially formulated triple-action blend helps build and maintain a healthy gut biome. By combining prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, the elements of the triple-action formula work together to help weed out negative bacteria from the gut, add good bacteria, and give nourishment to help the balanced microbiome flourish.†
- Prebiotic: Built from carbohydrates that humans can't digest, prebiotic fiber serves as an important food source for our gut bacteria to grow and reproduce. The proprietary PreforPro® prebiotic from Garden of Life is effective and fast-acting in a smaller dose, so it doesn't cause the gas or bloating that other higher-dose prebiotics can cause.†
- Probiotic: With up to 18 different strains in each formulation, the probiotics included in the line are clinically studied, highly diverse and highly potent, designed to make an impact and support specific conditions.†
- Postbiotic: Supernatant can be considered an upcycled byproduct from the probiotic fermentation process. This postbiotic addition to the blend is rich in enzymes, acids, proteins, peptides and vitamins, and preliminary studies confirm it makes probiotics even more powerful.†
The Full Triple Action Collection
With six varieties, the Triple Action Dr. Formulated Probiotics line is designed to have an option for everyone. And to promote health for both people and the planet, the line is also Non-GMO Project Verified and certified carbon neutral.
- Probiotics 30 Billion: Designed to be a probiotic that fits most people's needs, this small-capsule probiotic is built for everyday wellness.†
- Probiotics 100 Billion: This extra-strength formula is designed for those who may need a bit of extra support, whether they've had a poor diet recently or are seasoned probiotic users.†
- Probiotics Immune†: With 14 probiotic strains, zinc and vitamin D3, this formula is designed to help support both the immune system and digestive health.†
- Probiotics Women's pH: Formulated with vaginal health in mind, this probiotic includes specific strains that have been shown to support a healthy vaginal pH and promote yeast and bacterial balance.†
- Probiotics Gas & Bloating†: Designed for those whose digestive system may need a bit more attention, the probiotic strains and pre- and post-biotic blends all work together to effectively promote regularity and support digestive comfort.†
- Probiotics Calm†: Evidence suggests that the microbiome influences the molecules our brain releases, hinting at the direct connection between the gut and the brain. This formula includes probiotic strains aimed at supporting mood and relaxation, with the added benefit of organic ashwagandha, which clinical studies show improves stress responses.†
Also Introducing: Dr. Formulated Pre + Probiotic Gummies
In addition to the Triple Action line, Garden of Life is also introducing two new gummy Dr. Formulated Probiotics options for both children and adults. Formulated with prebiotics, probiotics and D3, these gummies balance great taste with high potency, offering multiple probiotic strains and a high CFU count at 10 billion for adults and 5 billion for children.

Split Rock Lighthouse will shine its beacon Wednesday night in honor of the late Gordon Lightfoot.
It’s a rare honor: The beacon is seldom lit, with an annual exception being Nov. 10 to mark the anniversary of the 1975 sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. A 1976 song by Lightfoot, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” has moved millions of listeners with the true story of the Lake Superior catastrophe.
“He was an amazing storyteller,” Split Rock site manager Hayes Scriven said when reached by phone Tuesday. “When you listen to that song, you feel like you’re there. You can see what he’s talking about, very vivid.”
In fact, said Scriven, it was Lightfoot’s song that inspired former lighthouse manager Lee Radzak to initiate the tradition of lighting the beacon for the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1985, the 10th anniversary of the shipwreck.
“He was coming home one day,” said Scriven, “and the song ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ came on the radio, and he decided that night, because it was Nov. 10, that he was going to go and light the beacon for the Fitzgerald … every year, it grew from that.”
In a statement Wednesday, Scriven added that “we felt compelled to honor (Lightfoot’s) legacy with tonight’s lighting.”
The beacon will be lit from 9 to 11 p.m. Wednesday. While the historic site and visitor center will be closed at that time, visitors with Minnesota State Park stickers can park at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park for a view. | https://www.twincities.com/2023/05/03/split-rock-lighthouse-to-shine-tonight-in-honor-of-gordon-lightfoot/ | 2023-05-04 00:07:18 | 1 | https://www.twincities.com/2023/05/03/split-rock-lighthouse-to-shine-tonight-in-honor-of-gordon-lightfoot/ |
(KTLA) – The home of the late Alex Trebek, the legendary game show host whose welcoming and thoughtful demeanor made “Jeopardy!” must-see television, was the site of an estate sale over the weekend.
Trebek, who died in November 2020 from a long public battle with pancreatic cancer, lived in a stunning mansion property in Studio City, California, until his death.
The $7 million home is currently for sale after being listed by Trebek’s daughter.
Over the weekend, the home was opened to the public and estate sale shoppers had the chance to view and take home items from Trebek’s collection. Artwork, sculptures and memorabilia from Trebek’s career were available for purchase throughout the sale.
The estate sale began Thursday, but shoppers on Saturday were treated to 35% off. There was no shortage of prospective buyers Saturday as the home was busy with shoppers looking to find treasure among Trebek’s personal property.
The sale was open to the public, but bargain hunters, or just fans of the game-show host, needed permit passes from the estate sale’s organizers. Parking was also heavily restricted near the home.
The sale is scheduled to conclude Sunday at 4 p.m. All sales are cash-only, organizers said.
Fans of “Jeopardy!” and Trebek can also view some of the items that were available for purchase online. | https://www.wane.com/entertainment-news/estate-sale-at-home-of-alex-trebek-gives-fans-chance-to-take-home-history/ | 2022-04-23 22:07:41 | 0 | https://www.wane.com/entertainment-news/estate-sale-at-home-of-alex-trebek-gives-fans-chance-to-take-home-history/ |
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Callum Ilott and Agustín Canapino are teammates. Ilott is British, Canapino is Argentine and through their first three months working together, everything seemed just fine as tiny Juncos Hollinger Racing showed decent on-track progress.

But when a sequence of ill-timed events caused Canapino to crash while the rookie was leading his first IndyCar laps, it was Ilott who was attacked on social media, with some rabid Canapino fans even making death threats against the 24-year-old.
What did Ilott do to deserve such vitriol following the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday?
Well, he exited pit lane as the field was about to go green and found himself in front of Canapino as Canapino was about to take the green flag. Helio Castroneves, who was running a lap down, made an aggressive move in an attempt to get around Canapino and return to the lead lap. Instead, Castroneves and Canapino made contact, Canapino's race ended and his fans believed it was all Ilott's fault for clogging the track in front of his teammate.

Ilott addressed the hate directed his way — specifically replying to an Argentine broadcaster — in a Twitter post on Monday. But that seemed to only further fan the flames.
Since Ilott's post:
IndyCar has issued a statement decrying “disrespectful and inappropriate online abuse.” The statement has been reposted by several IndyCar drivers.
Pato O'Ward turned to social media with a lengthy post to “encourage everyone to choose their words wisely, and to seriously consider the damage they are capable of inflicting.” O'Ward has been criticized for aggressive driving at Long Beach that included contact with six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon; O'Ward insisted postrace that he would not apologize for racing hard.

And Canapino himself weighed in Tuesday morning. “Nothing allows us to transmit hate and disrespect another person,” he wrote. “Not only during a competition, but also in life in general.”
All this comes after Kyle Kirkwood two weeks ago decried “how much hate mail I've received” for a pit lane collision at Texas Motor Speedway with Alexander Rossi in which Rossi was penalized.
Online abuse has long been an ongoing problem met with varying defenses. Some are able to ignore the hate, some clap back and some are deeply affected. Nicholas Latifi had to take a social media break following the 2021 Formula One season finale, where fans blamed his late crash for costing Lewis Hamilton a record eighth world championship.
“What shocked me was the extreme tone of the hate, abuse and even the death threats I received," Latifi said later.

The governing body for F1 has vowed to crack down on online abuse after drivers voiced concerns to the FIA about the increasing amount of hate being directed their way. Two-time reigning F1 world champion Max Verstappen has tied the increased toxicity toward the growth of F1, which exploded in global popularity during the pandemic in part because its Netflix docuseries brought new eyes to the series.
“There are more people watching, so more people are writing. It’s not great that they are allowed to write these kinds of things, so I hope we can come up with a kind of algorithm that stops people from being keyboard warriors,” Verstappen said. “Because these kinds of people — they will never come up to you and say these things in front of your face."
IndyCar doesn't come close to F1 in viewership numbers, but the recent nastiness directed toward drivers shows that its fans are as rabidly passionate as any other sport or racing series.
Is that a good thing? Probably not if the increased attention is dominated by online attacks, criticism and threats.

There is an old proverb that “all press is good press” so long as it cultivates presence and visibility. Technology and social media — which gives the general public direct access to athletes, celebrities, politicians and others — has helped discredit that notion as those on the receiving end of the abuse have complained about the toll it can take on mental health.
It's wonderful that IndyCar, which has worked so hard to rebuild its fanbase and attract new and younger viewership, is eliciting raw passion from its spectators. But if the bulk of the engagement are personal attacks because so-and-so did something to their favorite driver, it ruins any excitement over a growing audience.
IndyCar now heads into its most important stretch of the season, with testing for next month's Indianapolis 500 set to begin this week. This is the period when IndyCar's viewership and appeal should peak.
The series would feel a whole lot better about the attention if it was about the actual racing — three different winners through three races, a resurgent Andretti Autosport and the growing popularity of young Mexican driver O'Ward — and not fans placing blame on drivers for on-track incidents.

NEW YORK, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boards of Directors of the Cohen & Steers Closed-End Funds announced today the monthly distributions for July, August, and September 2023, as summarized in the charts below:
Distributions will be made on the following schedule:
Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. has decreased its monthly distribution by $0.004 per share, to $0.131 per share. Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. has decreased its monthly distribution by $0.009, to $0.126. Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities and Income Fund increased its monthly distribution by $0.006, to $0.110. Each Fund's monthly distribution has been adjusted to reflect current market conditions.
Beginning in December 2016, Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. and Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and with approval of its Board of Directors (the Board), implemented a managed distribution policy under which both Funds included long-term capital gains, where applicable, as part of the regular monthly cash distributions to its shareholders (the Plan). Effective July 1, 2023, the Board approved the termination of the Plan for PSF and LDP and adopted a new policy for each Fund to make regular monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). LDP and PSF expect these distributions will continue to be declared and announced on a quarterly basis. As a result of the Policy, both Funds may pay distributions in excess of their investment company taxable income and realized gains. In order to make these distributions, each Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less opportune time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares. Once the Policy is in effect for LDP and PSF, following each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice that will provide information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The Board may amend or terminate the Policy, or re-adopt a managed distribution plan, at any time without prior notice to shareholders.
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund and Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities and Income Fund pay regular monthly cash distributions to common shareholders at a level rate that may be adjusted from time to time. Each of these fund's distributions reflect net investment income, and may also include net realized capital gains and/or return of capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid by a fund in excess of its net investment income. Such excess is distributed from the fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by a fund may be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc., and Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. only:
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc., and Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. (each, a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") declared their monthly distributions pursuant to such Fund's managed distribution plans. Each Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The policy gives each Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. Information can also be found on the Funds' website at cohenandsteers.com. The Board of Directors of each Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of each Fund's shares.
Distributions of a fund's investment in real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs) and/or closed-end funds (CEFs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to each fund after year end by the REITs, MLPs and CEFs held by a fund.
Each Fund's distributions may include net investment income, long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains and/or return of capital. Under the plan, prior to the payment date of the distribution every month, each Fund will issue a press release and a notice containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information to shareholders of record on the record date. Please note that the notice is not provided for tax reporting purposes but for informational purposes only. Information can also be found on the Funds' website at cohenandsteers.com.
Shareholders should not use the information provided in preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report Fund distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expense of the fund carefully before investing. You can obtain the fund's most recent periodic reports, when available, and other regulatory filings by contacting your financial advisor or visiting cohenandsteers.com. These reports and other filings can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR Database. You should read these reports and other filings carefully before investing.

What do you have planned for Father’s Day? Are you going to celebrate your father, or be celebrated by your children and family?
Many of us have planned special events or outings for the fathers in our lives, eagerly counting down the days until we can show how much we appreciate them, and maybe even reunite for the first time in more than two years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, imagine you haven’t seen your father or children for decades. You’re so excited to see the ones you love. But suddenly, the carpet is yanked out from under you at the last moment by new management.
Not fair, is it?
That’s the fate for hundreds of men and women, and nearly 1,000 families — and more importantly, children — in Virginia, whose loved ones are scheduled to be released but have been told those releases suddenly might be revoked.
In 2020, multiple bills were introduced to provide people behind bars convicted of nonviolent crimes the opportunity to acquire earned sentence credits (ESCs). Incarcerated people can earn ESCs toward release through good behavior and extraordinary efforts toward rehabilitation. The credits act as incentives for demonstrating and completing these steps.
People are also reading…
And they are not new. The ESC system has been in place since Virginia’s enactment of “truth-in-sentencing” in 1995. Under current ESCs, people who are incarcerated in the commonwealth can earn up to 13% off of their sentence for meeting extremely high standards.
In 2020, both Democratic and Republican state lawmakers introduced legislation to expand ESCs, and they passed bipartisan reform in both chambers of the General Assembly. This bill created an expansion of the amount of time that could be served — allowing people to earn an additional 20% for a small category of nonviolent felonies like larceny and drug crimes.
The reform also allows someone who has “paired offenses” like a burglary of an unoccupied dwelling (classified as violent) and grand larceny (classified as nonviolent) to earn expanded credits on the larceny charge, lessening the sentence by a few months to a year. The person cannot earn expanded credits for the burglary charge. While the 2022 General Assembly session proposed repeals of the expanded ESCs, neither of the bills passed and expanded credits are set to go into effect July 1.
The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) has been calculating updated release dates, verifying home plans and preparing people for release. Meanwhile, families have planned reunions, purchased airfares, booked weddings, bought clothing and secured job offers for their returning loved ones. Hope of togetherness sooner than later has been promised — and that promise has been believed.
Now these families might have to wait even longer to hug absent family members due to a few legislators seemingly attempting to exploit Virginia’s budget process in hopes of overriding this bipartisan reform. A loophole would allow for an amendment overriding the bill passed in 2020, and blocking implementation of a portion of the expanded ESC program.
It is not appropriate to legislate through the budget in order to subvert the conventional legislative process. Misleading statements about ESCs are being used to stoke fear and justify this inappropriate action.
It’s important to get the facts right: First, Attorney General Jason Miyares recently said expanding the ESC system would result in 15,000 people being released from prison in 2022. However, data obtained from VADOC shows approximately 12,000 of the 15,000 already were going to be released prior to ESC expansion.
Second, there’s an unfounded fear that ESCs will make our streets less safe. Yet the truth is less than 2% of the 3,212 early releases are serving time for homicide or sexual assault. They all have served their time and now are earning a few months off of their sentences for eligible nonviolent offenses.
All these people soon are due to be released, regardless of expanded ESCs. Furthermore, people eligible for expanded ESCs have consistently met the high behavioral and rehabilitative standards required by VADOC in order to return home sooner.
The expanded ESC program has been enshrined in the Code of Virginia for nearly two years. Despite multiple attempts to repeal and amend the law, it has remained intact.
While elected officials might not always like laws that are passed, they took an oath to uphold them. The government and those who represent it should have at least as much respect for the law as they ask from those whom they govern.
Incentivizing rehabilitation doesn’t harm public safety. In fact, it enhances public safety.

Less than 10 minutes into the first episode of “Break Point,” the Netflix docuseries about professional tennis that launches Friday, Nick Kyrgios is seen practicing before last year’s Australian Open and is heard contemplating aloud whether he ever will appear again at the tournament.
“I don’t know if this is going to be the last time,” Kyrgios says. “Nothing good lasts forever, though, yeah?”
That captures the vibe around tennis lately, what with the retirements of Serena Williams, Roger Federer and Ash Barty all arriving in 2022. It also helps open a window onto the tumult and pressure — a word invoked repeatedly during the series’ first five episodes — that are constant factors for the WTA and ATP athletes who will be back on the Grand Slam stage when plays begins at Melbourne Park on Monday (Sunday night EST).
This is not the first time Kyrgios, who wound up reaching his first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in July, has voiced questions about his future and, indeed, there are not a ton of outright surprises for those who follow the sport closely. That said, there are occasional unexpected moments during the first half of Season 1’s 10 episodes (the rest are scheduled for release in June), such as when Kyrgios discusses his drinking habit with his manager or when Maria Sakkari says in Episode 3 that she “retired for four days” after blowing a match point and losing in the 2021 French Open semifinals.
“Break Point” is, in some ways, an advertisement for tennis, introducing casual fans — or folks who really haven’t been fans at all — to some of the on-court characters, laying out basic rules and formats, and offering limited recaps on last season’s events.
There is not an effort to completely cover what went on in the sport. One example of something only briefly addressed: an unvaccinated Novak Djokovic’s will-he-or-won’t-he-play-in-Australia saga that fascinated the world for more than a week. Barty’s historic championship at the Australian Open and stunning retirement soon after are left unexplored.
“At the end of the day, the show is about the human condition, and what this particular sport does to the human condition and how people respond to being in this place and this time. And it’s very relatable,” said executive producer James Gay-Rees, who also is one of the people behind “Formula 1: Drive to Survive.”
“They’re human beings that potentially we can all relate to,” Gay-Rees said in a video interview. “If that is the case, then anybody can watch it and find something.”
There is a mix of recent and archival footage. There are interviews with coaches, agents, family members, significant others, journalists and former players such as Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova.
The emphasis is on current players’ tales and travails, although do not expect a ton of gossip or infighting. There are tears. There is frankness, particularly in the “confessional”-style, look-straight-into-the-camera sessions so popular on reality TV.
Paula Badosa, a Spaniard once ranked No. 2, talks in Episode 4 about dealing with depression. Taylor Fritz, the highest-ranked American man, gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look in Episode 3 at a player dealing with an injury before the biggest match of his career. Ajla Tomljanovic, an Australian player who beat Williams at the U.S. Open in the 23-time major champion’s final match, offers insight into the grind of the job.
“If you’re not winning the event, you’re a loser every week,” says Tomljanovic, whose since-ended relationship with 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini occupies much of Episode 2. “That’s why I think tennis is really brutal.”

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tiger Woods produced a couple of firsts Saturday, neither cause for a fist pump. He posted his highest score ever in the PGA Championship, and later withdrew from a major for the first time in his pro career.
Hours after Woods limped his way to a 9-over 79 in the third round at Southern Hills, he informed the PGA of America of his withdrawal.
Anyone who watched the staggered steps from a right leg that was battered 15 months ago in a car crash should not have been surprised. Woods declined media interviews after his round, speaking only to a pool reporter.
He was asked if days like this — high pain, high score — made him question the process it takes to play and if he would tee it up on Sunday.
“Well, I’m sore. I know that is for a fact,” he said. “We’ll do some work and see how it goes.”
The PGA of America announced his withdrawal after the third round ended. Woods was 21 shots behind Mito Pereira of Chile, who takes a three-shot lead into the final round.
For Woods, attention now turns to next month at the U.S. Open. When he made the cut at the Masters in his first time walking and competing against the best since the February 2021 car crash in Los Angeles, he said he would be at the British Open at St. Andrews in July.
He did not mention the PGA Championship or U.S. Open, wanting to assess his recovery. But he made a trip to Southern Hills in the weeks ahead of the PGA and said he felt better than he did at the Masters.
That lasted only so long.
Even as he grimaced at times, Woods produced his most compelling golf on Friday afternoon with he rallied to make the cut with a series of clutch putts and short-game wizardry.
Woods has played through pain during his career, more memorably the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines that he won with a double stress fracture in his left leg and shredded ligaments in his left knee that required season-ending surgery when it was over.
But on Saturday, walking gingerly on a course soaked by a half-inch of rain in the early morning, he had reason to wonder if making the cut was worth it.
“I didn’t do anything right,” Woods said after making a 5-foot par putt on the 18th to break 80. “I didn’t hit many good shots. Consequently, I ended up with a pretty high score.”
It wasn’t his worst in a major. There was that 81 in the 2002 British Open in the raging wind and bitter cold of Muirfield that ended his hopes for a Grand Slam. He had an 80 at Chambers Bay in the 2015 U.S. Open while recovering from the first of what would be five back surgeries.
This was painful to watch, and not just the sloppy play with wedges and two water balls.
Much like the weekend at the Masters, his first competition since the February 2021 car crash that mangled his right leg, the limp became more pronounced as the day went on.
And the weather — the high 50s, compared with a heat index that approached triple digits earlier in the week — didn’t help.
“You feel so sorry for him having to go through this,” said Shaun Norris, the South African who played with Woods before a large gallery, but certainly not the size of the previous two days.
“But then again, you also see the type of person that he is, that he grinds through everything and pushes himself, even all the pain and that,” Norris said. “It’s not easy to see a guy like him have to go through that and struggle like that. He’s swinging it nicely, and I think he’ll be back once he gets back to normal health and sorts out all the problems.”
Woods chose not to speak to the media, instead offering a few thoughts to a pool reporter. He didn’t get into one of the clear problems, which was distance control. Whether the ball wasn’t flying as far because of the cold or his speed was slower than he realized, there were two occasions when Woods was stunned to see where his ball landed.
One was on the par-3 sixth hole, when Woods’ shot not only came up short, it found the water. He put his next shot short into the shaggy collar, flubbed a chip and walked off with a triple bogey.
And that was only the start.
Woods made five straight bogeys from the ninth hole. One of them was on the par-3 11th, when he posed over an 8-iron only to see it land short — well short. He looked back at his caddie and said, “That’s short of the bunker!”
His pitch up the hill had so much pace that it ran over the green and down the slope, and he had to make a 4-footer to escape with bogey. This was one hole after a similar pitch up the hill from slightly farther away settled on the top shelf of a green. The pin was at the front.
And then on the par-5 13th, when a bold play to go over the green from the first cut of rough and into a stiff wind appeared to be pay off, his pitch from 100 feet went 35 feet past the pin and off the green. A likely birdie turned into a bogey.
“Couldn’t get off the bogey train,” he said.
Even when it looked like a lost cause, and there were moments where it looked as though his right knee began to buckle, Woods rarely rushed a shot or a putt.
The lone bright spot was a 35-foot birdie putt on the 15th, and Woods forced a smile as he swiped his right index finger in the air to mark his first birdie of the day.
It also was his only one.
He talked Friday about needing a hot round, and that wasn’t available to him on a cold day. He ultimately decided it wasn’t worth going through again.

Two alleged robbery suspects are behind bars after they were caught on camera taking a man's Rolex watch, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The snatch took place at 12:30 p.m. Saturday near 6th Street and La Brea Avenue, according to a news release.
Police say the two suspects, identified as 20-year-old Tyler Dumas and 19-year-old Edwin Witty, led officers on a chase after they took off from the scene of the robbery. The suspects collided with a car, injuring the driver, cops said. One of the suspects was arrested at the scene. The other ran away, but was eventually taken into custody.
The stolen Rolex watch and a gun were recovered during the pair's arrest, officials said.

CASTEL BOLOGNESE, Italy (AP) — Exceptional rains Wednesday in a drought-struck region of northern Italy swelled rivers over their banks, killing at least eight people, forcing the evacuation of thousands and prompting officials to warn that Italy needs a national plan to combat climate change-induced flooding.
The heavy rains also forced Formula One to cancel this weekend’s Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix to not overtax emergency crews that were already stretched thin in responding to the rivers of mud that have torn through the region, wreaking havoc on infrastructure and homes.
Days of rainstorms stretched across a broad swath of northern Italy and the Balkans, where “apocalyptic” floods, landslides and evacuations were also reported in Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia.
The deputy governor of Emilia-Romagna, Irene Priolo, said eight people were killed and others unaccounted for in flooding that forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 people.
On Wednesday evening, authorities in the province of Ravenna, a tourist town famed for its Byzantine-era mosaics, about 14,000 people were ordered to leave their homes as a precaution because of fears that three rivers could overflow their banks.
Among the dead was a farmer who defied floodwaters to try to save equipment on his property, officials said. His wife was among the missing.
Rescue helicopters plucked people from rooftops as floodwaters rose ever higher in homes. In one rescue, a coast guard member pulled a woman out through a skylight from her home and held her tight as the two were winched to a hovering helicopter and pulled inside.
“Even upper floors aren’t safe any more,” Gian Luca Zattini, mayor of Forli’, one of the hardest-hit towns, told Sky TG24 TV.
Italian Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci called for a new nationwide hydraulic engineering plan to adapt to the impact of increasing incidents of floods and landslides. At a briefing, he noted that an average of 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) of rain had fallen in 36 hours in the region, with some areas registering 500 millimeters (19.7 inches) in that period.
“If you consider that this region averages 1,000 millimeters (39.3 inches) of rain in a year, you realize the impact that these rains have had in these hours,” Musumeci said.
Citing the November landslide in Ischia, which killed a dozen people, he said that Italy is increasingly experiencing tropical weather seen in parts of Africa and other areas around the world, with long periods of drought punctuated by intense rainfall that can’t be absorbed by the soil.
“Nothing will ever be the same again … and what has happened in these hours is evidence of that,” Musumeci said. “When soil remains dry for a long time, instead of increasing its absorption capacity, it ends up cementing and allowing rainfall to continue flowing over the surface and causing absolutely unimaginable damage.”
In Castel Bolognese, a town of around 9,000 people, the mayor said there was no electricity and many families were running out of food in an area that was hit by floods earlier this month. “Two weeks ago we had a flood and we were left to believe it happens once every 100 years,” Luca Della Godenza said.
Compounding Italy’s vulnerability to climate-change induced flooding are already fragile hydrological conditions in much of the country. Italy also must grapple with the decades-long practice of people building in areas prone to mudslides or floods — homes that are often allowed to stay in place thanks to occasional government amnesties.
Hillsides, pounded by the rain, gave way in many parts of Emilia-Romagna. In 48 towns or hamlets, a total of 250 mudslides were reported by residents, state television said. Walls of mud, rushing down, toppled trees and buckled roads in their path.
Musumeci said 50,000 people lost electricity, and more than 100,000 lost cellphone or landline use.
Many residents evacuating homes put vital belongings in the rubber boats they’d normally tow each summer to the region’s flourishing beach resorts on the Adriatic Sea and pulled them through deluged streets.
Some regional train routes remained suspended Wednesday around Bologna and Ravenna, with severe delays elsewhere, the Italian state railway said.
Premier Giorgia Meloni, who was traveling to the G-7 meeting in Japan, said the government was monitoring the situation and was prepared to approve emergency aid.
In the Balkans, the swollen Una river flooded parts of northern Croatia and northwestern Bosnia, where authorities announced a state of emergency. The mayor of the town of Bosanska Krupa in Bosnia said that hundreds of homes had been flooded.
“We have an apocalypse,” Amin Halitovic told regional N1 network. “We can no longer count the flooded buildings. It’s never been like this.”
Dozens of landslides were reported in eastern Slovenia, many of which endangered homes and infrastructure.
In Croatia, hundreds of soldiers and rescue teams continued bringing food and other necessities to people in flood-hit areas who have been isolated in their homes. No casualties have been reported so far.

- With state-of-the-art aquaculture technology, Totoaba is farmed in an environmentally responsible, sustainable and completely legal manner.
- Through Earth Ocean Farm's sustainable aquaculture process, the conservation and reproduction of fish is enhanced without affecting other marine species.
LA PAZ, Mexico, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Earth Ocean Farms (EOF), today announced its seventh release of 30,000 juvenile Totoaba as part of its commitment to preserving and protecting the species as a Management Unit for the Conservation of Wildlife.
The company specializes in state-of-the-art, off-shore aquaculture for the proliferation of native species such as Totoaba Macdonaldi and Red Snapper while generating jobs and contributing to the regional economy. The release was completed with the support of federal and local governments as well as research institutions and community organizations as part of a restocking plan to repopulate the Sea of Cortez. Totoaba which is an endemic species to the Gulf of California and currently in a vulnerable population state.
"Over the past seven years, we have released 175,000 juvenile Totoaba. This means a lot to us, it is a contribution to the environment, to the protection of this iconic species for Mexico that only exists in the Sea of Cortez," said Israel Marqueda, Commercial Director of EOF.
The release was carried out in collaboration with the Direccion General de Vida Silvestre de la Secretaria del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (DGVS), as well as other governmental organizations and NGOs of Mexico in the bay of Santispac, in the municipality of Mulege in Baja California Sur. Local community and youth organizations in Mulegue also participated in the release.
"For us, the involvement of the community in these events is fundamental, especially that of the children, because a sustainable future depends on the investment of future generations. The fact that the children get to release the fish into the water gives them a sense of responsibility for the hatchlings and helps them become more aware of what the positive long-term impacts will be," remarked Marqueda.
Success indicators from previous releases show high survival rates: up to 98% of juveniles survive during transport and release. Population monitoring of the species in the Sea of Cortez is carried out by government institutions that regulate fisheries in Mexican seas and have the necessary technical infrastructure and professional staff including: specialized vessels, scientific equipment, probes, biologists, fisheries technicians, statisticians, sailors, and more to carry out these studies.

TORONTO, Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Scryb Inc. ("Scryb'' or the "Company") (CSE: SCYB) (OTCQB: SCYRF) (Frankfurt: EIY) is pleased to highlight the rapid commercial growth and success of Cybeats Technologies Corp. ("Cybeats"), a public company which Scryb maintains approximately 65% ownership1.
The recent signing of several major contracts with multinationals across a range of industries demonstrates the increasing demand for Cybeats' SBOM Studio2 product. At market close on January 6, Cybeats had a market capitalization of approximately $140 million with a share price of $1.50. This puts the value of Scryb's 65% ownership in Cybeats at approximately $90 million. Scryb Inc. closed the market on January 6 at a share price of $0.14 and a market capitalization of approximately $35 million.
"Scryb is very pleased with the commercial growth of Cybeats, having recently signed several large global leaders across a broad spectrum of industry verticals, providing important market validation for SBOM Studio solution and invaluable implementation experience across a variety of sectors," said Yoav Raiter, CEO, Scryb Inc. "The cybersecurity industry is quickly recognizing Cybeats' market-leading technology, and combined with its real-world experience, is translating into a growing pipeline of large opportunities to carry it through 2023 and beyond."
Cybeats recently signed and announce a a three year contract with a global leader in energy management and automation solutions3. The multi-year SBOM Studio engagement will see Cybeats' leading solution deployed with the global infrastructure leader to reduce the cost of securing its products by streamlining the discovery and resolution of software vulnerabilities across the organization.

Some of the notable ongoing Cybeats' SBOM Studio pilots with Fortune 500 companies from various industries include:
- Smart building technologies, software and services company
- Medical technology and devices company

Zooz Power will use its flywheel technology to charge electric rental cars at New York City’s LaGuardia airport, the Israel-based company formerly known as Chakratec announced earlier this month.
Zooz recently announced a memorandum of understanding with an unnamed car rental company to pilot flywheel energy charging at LaGuardia beginning in the second quarter of 2023.
The partner rental company “is operating thousands of car rental sites in over 100 countries,” Zooz said in a press release, adding that more sites will be considered if the 12-month New York pilot program is successful.
The technology is a form of kinetic energy storage, which relies on spinning massive flywheels to store energy in place of batteries. Flywheels rotate in canisters, where the flywheels are suspended in a vacuum. An electric motor “spins up” each flywheel to an ideal speed, then doubles as a generator as the flywheel “spins down,” using that energy to charge EVs.
The tech helps reduce the peak load on the grid, while allowing higher charge power. As the company has said before, flywheels can be located in some places where batteries wouldn’t be advisable, like inside or underground. That’s particularly relevant for car rental sites, where grid constraints could limit implementation of conventional charging infrastructure, Zooz claims.
Flywheel-based hybrid tech originated in racing—and carried over to a few prototypes—but it’s shown much more promise in stationary installations.
Battery-boosted charging is an increasingly popular option for locations where high-power grid upgrades aren’t feasible, allowing fast charging from existing low-voltage electricity service. Charging networks have discovered that it allows more flexibility for fast-charging locations.
Zooz doesn’t say which rental company is involved, but Hertz has announced an intent to have tens of thousands of EVs in its fleet from Tesla, GM, Polestar, and perhaps others. BP has already been announced as a partner to help keep rental EVs charged.

NORTHBROOK, Ill., Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilco Real Estate, LLC announces November 8, 2022 as the qualified bid deadline for the bankruptcy sale of 52± acres of development land located in a fast-growing region of San Antonio, Texas. The property will be sold subject to a court-approved stalking horse bid of $5,835,000.
Set along heavily-traveled Loop 410 with over 60,000 vehicles daily, this property offers both residential and commercial development opportunities in San Antonio's up-and-coming southside. The commercial portion totals approximately 12.5 acres and offers high visibility and easy access with 3,600 feet of interstate frontage. The residential segment totals almost 40 acres, separated into two distinct parcels measuring approximately 16 acres and 23 acres, respectively.
The city of San Antonio is singularly-focused on this corridor as the next area for explosive growth, and, as such, has designated the region as a "Tax Incremental Reinvestment Zone" (TIRZ) and "Inner-City Reinvestment/Infill Policy" (ICRIP) area. The purpose of these incentives is to promote a vibrant mix of commercial, residential, educational and cultivate development within this portion of Loop 410. The incentives also provide large rebates that will significantly increase profitability for the property owner.
The property is proximate to VIDA, a new 600-acre, mixed-use development that will include 1,600 single family residential lots, 1,400 multifamily units, 1,000 student housing units and 1,000,000 square feet of commercial space. Just 20 minutes from downtown San Antonio and minutes from Texas A&M University - San Antonio (an estimated 6,000 students enrolled annually), Palo Alto College (an estimated 9,850 students enrolled annually), and the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas facility (an estimate 2,000 current employees), this corridor benefits from an ideal mix of retail consumers and residential tenants and is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
According to the latest data from the U. S. Census Bureau, San Antonio was ranked as the fastest-growing U.S. city in terms of numeric population growth between 2021 and 2022 and the second from 1990 to 2000. San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County and the center of the San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area with a population exceeding an estimated 2.6 million as of 2021. Through a combination of affordable housing, low cost of living, proximity to major employers, rich cultural history/heritage, high safety rating and eclectic food scene, San Antonio provides an ideal backdrop to live, work and play.
The sale is being conducted by Order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Texas (Ft. Worth), Bankruptcy Case #: 21-42132-mxm11, and is subject to a minimum stalking horse overbid of $5,835,000. Qualified bids must be received on or before the deadline of November 8, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. (CT) and must be submitted on the court-approved purchase agreement in compliance with the bankruptcy court approved bid procedures available for review and download from Hilco Real Estate's website.
Steve Madura, senior vice president at Hilco Real Estate, stated, "These development parcels are located within one of the hottest markets in the nation and provide an incredible opportunity for a variety of developers to get in on the action." He continued, "These sites represent large interstate development tracts with significant frontage along the sought-after Loop 410 corridor. They provide a variety of potential future uses together with city incentives – characteristics that should make this property very interesting to developers, investors and end users alike."
Interested buyers should review the bid procedures for requirements in order to participate in the bankruptcy sale process available on Hilco Real Estate's website.

13 new Cell Programs added in Q2 2022, representing 86% growth over Q2 2021
Pending acquisitions of Zymergen and Bayer's West Sacramento agricultural biologicals capabilities expected to enable new growth opportunities in the coming years
Approximately $1.4 billion cash balance provides continued multi-year runway as Ginkgo drives towards profitability
BOSTON, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNA) ("Ginkgo"), the leading horizontal platform for cell programming, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. The update, including a webcast slide presentation with additional details on the second quarter and supplemental financial information, will be available at investors.ginkgobioworks.com.
"We delivered a strong quarter across both our cell programming and biosecurity businesses," said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo. "We added 13 new Cell Programs and more than doubled our second-quarter Foundry revenue year-over-year. We executed well on our biosecurity business through the remainder of the school year and are seeing traction across this business with longer-term, diversified biosecurity opportunities, including being awarded a new contract from the CDC to continue our pathogen monitoring work in airports. We are excited about our recently announced transactions with Zymergen and Bayer, which we expect to significantly improve our platform and drive future value. Our strong cash balance of approximately $1.4 billion affords us the ability to play offense when compelling opportunities arise, while we remain focused on our cash runway and can consider multiple levers as we drive towards profitability."
Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning
- Generated Foundry revenue of $44 million in Q2 2022, representing 105% growth over the comparable prior year period, including a previously announced equity milestone from the successful completion of the third productivity target in our collaboration with Cronos Group Inc.
- Added 13 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in Q2 2022, representing 86% growth over the comparable prior year period
- Concentric by Ginkgo, Ginkgo's biosecurity and public health offering, had another strong quarter, producing $100 million in revenue in Q2 2022

DAVID BIANCULLI, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm David Bianculli, in for Terry Gross. Novelist Julie Otsuka has just been awarded the Carnegie Medal for Excellence for her book "The Swimmers." It's about a group of people who go to the local pool to escape from their problems. Vogue magazine and Kirkus Review listed the book as one of the year's best of 2022. It's now out in paperback. Otsuka's two previous novels were acclaimed, as well. "When The Emperor Was Divine" is based on the experiences of her mother and grandparents when they were forced into Japanese internment camps during World War II. Her book "The Buddha In The Attic," which won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, is an historical novel about the women known as picture brides. These were women in the early 20th century who emigrated to America from Japan the only way they legally could, by marrying a man who already was living here. In Otsuka's latest novel, "The Swimmers," one of the swimmers is in the early stages of dementia. Terry Gross spoke with Julie Otsuka last year when her novel was first published.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
TERRY GROSS: Julie Otsuka, welcome to FRESH AIR. I love your writing, so I'm very glad you're here. I want to start with a reading from the first page of "The Swimmers," your new novel, because I want our listeners to hear your style of writing and how the accumulation of detail just kind of keeps building through the book. So would you read the opening for us?
JULIE OTSUKA: Sure, I'd be happy to. (Reading) The pool is located deep underground in a large, cavernous chamber many feet beneath the streets of our town. Some of us come here because we are injured and need to heal. We suffer from bad backs, fallen arches, shattered dreams, broken hearts, anxiety, melancholia, anhedonia, the usual above-ground afflictions. Others of us are employed at the college nearby and prefer to take our lunch breaks down below, in the waters far away from the harsh glares of our colleagues and screens. Some of us come here to escape, if only for an hour, our disappointing marriages on land. Many of us live in the neighborhood and simply love to swim. One of us, Alice, a retired lab technician now in the early stages of dementia, comes here because she always has.
GROSS: So as we heard in the reading, one of the swimmers, Alice, is in the early stages of dementia. And as the novel progresses, she loses more and more of her memory until she's moved to a facility. Your mother died of dementia-related causes. Was it frontotemporal dementia like in the book?
OTSUKA: It was. And it was Pick's disease, which is a form of frontotemporal dementia.
GROSS: Yeah. In the book, you describe it as being very rare. What is it? How does it compare to Alzheimer's, just so we understand what's going on?
OTSUKA: Well, for one thing, the onset can be much, much earlier. So I think for my mother, she might have even manifested symptoms in her 50s, definitely in her 60s, although I think it was hard for us to realize what was her and what was her disease, especially in the early years before she was even diagnosed. But with Pick's disease, you often get changes in personality. And the decline can be - for my mother, it was much, much slower. I think her decline took place over at least 20 years. But I think the personality change is probably the main difference from people with Alzheimer's.
GROSS: Could you tell that it was happening? Because that's one of the questions in the book. You know, like, for example, like, a crack appears in the pool that the swimmers go to. And the people wonder, you know, many of us remain anxious because the truth is we don't know what it is or what it means or if it has any meaning at all. Maybe the crack is just a crack, nothing more, nothing less. Maybe it's a rupture, a chasm. How deep is it? Who's to blame for it? Can we reverse it? And most importantly, why us? It's no coincidence, I'm sure, that those questions are the questions we ask when symptoms begin to appear. Like, does this have any meaning? Is it serious? Is it nothing? Am I exaggerating? If it's a problem, like, what or who is to blame for it? And, you know, and why me? Why us? Why is this happening to us?
OTSUKA: I think it's sometimes hardest for the people closest to the person who's suffering from dementia to see what is happening. I think there's a lot of denial going on, probably in the early years. But I remember, actually, the first time that I realized something was slightly off is I think I went home when you're - for Christmas. And my mother was always very, very good with her hands. And we were baking these crescent cookies, and they just didn't look right on the baking sheet. You know, they were not neat, little crescent rolls, which is what she would've made before. So that was, like, a very clear visual representation that something was not right.
But I don't think we really questioned her repeating herself early on. It just seemed like one of her quirks or something that maybe she was even doing intentionally. And I wish, actually, that we'd realized earlier that the way she was behaving - it wasn't something that she, you know, had any real control over. But, you know, it took us a long time to - I think before we even brought her into a neurologist to get a diagnosis. I think it took many, many years.
GROSS: What would have been different had you gotten an earlier diagnosis? It's not like it's a reversable...
OTSUKA: Nothing, probably. Nothing. Although I guess the one thing that could have been different is that we might have had a little bit more compassion for her early on.
GROSS: That's a big difference.
OTSUKA: It's a huge difference. It's difficult to live with somebody whose personality is changing and is - you know, to a certain point, they're not the person that you remember. But they can't help it. But I think it took us a long time to realize that.
GROSS: You know, in the novel, when so many memories are starting to disappear, one of the things the mother remembers is being sent to a Japanese American incarceration camp when she was young, when she was a child. Did your mother hang on to that memory when others were disappearing?
OTSUKA: She did. Those memories for her were very strong. They they remained with her till - you know, till close to the end of her life. You know, I remember one day she just began to tell a story about her last day of school at Lincoln Elementary in Berkeley.
GROSS: Before being forced into the camp?
OTSUKA: The day before they had to leave, yeah. And she just began to tell that story over and over and over again. And I hadn't heard that story before. I mean, perhaps my father had. I'm not sure.
GROSS: What was the story?
OTSUKA: That her teacher asked her to stand up and then told everyone in the class that Haruko - was my mother's Japanese name - would be leaving the next day, and would they please tell her goodbye? So the entire class said goodbye to her, which I think was probably an act of kindness, but she felt very singled out and very ashamed and embarrassed.
GROSS: Did the teacher explain why she was going away?
OTSUKA: You know, I don't know. It's a really good question. I wish that I'd asked my mother that when she was still lucid. I don't know. I mean, I often wonder, what did that teacher say to her students? Do they wonder why their Japanese classmates were suddenly disappeared? And, you know, I've traveled a lot for - especially for my first novel. And I've spoken to people who were alive in World War II. And I remember one woman - a white woman - who had been, I think, in junior high during World War II. And she just said, you know, one day, her classmate, who was a good friend of hers, was there, and the next day, she was gone. And she didn't know what had happened to her. So I don't know what was told to the children back then. I don't know what their parents told to them, either. It's a good question.
GROSS: In the novel, you write, she remembers to warn her daughter at the end of every phone call that the FBI will check up on you soon.
OTSUKA: Yes.
GROSS: How does the FBI figure into your family's story?
OTSUKA: My grandfather was arrested by the FBI on December 8, 1941, so the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed. He went to work. He worked for a Japanese-owned mercantile company. And he never came home. So he was sent to a series of detention camps run by the Department of Justice. These were different from the regular camps where, you know - the camp where my mother was sent was a different kind of camp. And he was considered a dangerous enemy alien. And my mother didn't see him for about 2 1/2 years.
GROSS: Was he considered a serious enemy alien because he worked for a Japanese company?
OTSUKA: He was a leader in the Japanese American community, a business leader. So he was fairly prominent. So those were the men who were rounded up first, you know, just as a way, really, of - I mean, all the leaders of the community were taken away. So the Japanese American community was really kind of emasculated and left leaderless. So he was one of many who were taken away in that first roundup.
GROSS: Did you get to meet him or your grandmother?
OTSUKA: You know, he died when I was 8. And my grandmother - she lived to be almost 101, so I knew her for many, many years. And my memories of him are as a very, very gentle man. He never talked about what had happened to himself during the war. But I think I was too young to even know what my mother had gone through at the age of 8. So I remember he was always reading. He was always - he had these Japanese English dictionaries, and he would just underline words in red pencil. He was always learning.
And my grandmother - she had - you know, she had more stories to tell, but I couldn't - her English was all right, but as she got older, it degraded. So she was a tough lady. She went through so much. I mean, she really kept the family together after the war when they came home to Berkeley. And she just went through a lot. She's just - she's a survivor.
GROSS: Was your grandfather able to work after being called a traitor?
OTSUKA: No.
GROSS: Is traitor the right word? And an enemy alien, I think, is what you said.
OTSUKA: Yeah. No. They're synonymous, I think, or at least in the eye of the government. Well, he was not - the reason that he was not able to work after the war was not necessarily because of what he'd been labeled, but it was because he really lost his health. We don't know exactly what happened to him in the camps where he was imprisoned, but he had three strokes when he came home. So he was just - he was not in good health, so he was unable to support the family. So my grandmother went to work as a maid for wealthy white families up in the Berkeley Hills and supported the family. And she - up until then, up until right before the war, had been, you know, a fairly well-off, middle-class housewife. She didn't have to work, so - but they lost all their money, so they really had to start all over again.
GROSS: Let me reintroduce you here. If you're just joining us, my guest is novelist Julie Otsuka. Her new novel is called "The Swimmers." We'll be right back after a short break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with Julie Otsuka, author of the novels "The Buddha In The Attic," "When The Emperor Was Divine" and the new novel "The Swimmers."
So there wasn't much you were able to learn from your grandparents. What about your mother? How old was she when she was incarcerated? And what stories did she tell?
OTSUKA: Actually, I want to say one thing I did learn from my grandfather but years later, after he died - was that we found this cache of letters that he'd written to his wife and children during the first year of the war in my grandmother's fireplace that she wanted to burn the day before we were moving her out of her house and into a residence for the elderly. And so that was the first time that I learned a little bit about what it was that he'd gone through during his experience of imprisonment during the war.
But my mother, she would occasionally mention camp, but when I was very young, I didn't know what kind of camp she was talking about. I actually thought she was describing some sort of summer camp because that was really my only point of reference. But there were objects around the house from camp. So I remember we had these old forks that we kept in the back of the silverware drawer. And on each handle, there was my family's government-issued ID number. And so we only used those forks when all the good forks were dirty and in the dishwasher. And we never used those forks with company. And it wasn't till I was a little bit older that I began to want to know more about what it was that my mother had gone through. And when I actually began to write my first novel, she was in the early stages of her dementia. And because her childhood memories were fairly accurate for a while, I could ask her a lot of questions, and then at a certain point, I could not.
GROSS: So why did your grandmother want to burn her husband's letters?
OTSUKA: I think that she might have felt that they were dangerous to have around. She might have felt shame that he had been labeled a spy, basically a dangerous enemy alien. Or she could have treasured them because he was her husband. I mean, the other things that we found - actually, it was my aunt and uncle who found these things in the fireplace. Shoved up into the flue of the fireplace, they found my mother's white wedding veil and a pair of white silk gloves that she'd probably worn on her wedding day. And she was going to burn all these things. So it could have also been an act of rage, that she was being forced to leave the house that she had lived in very happily for many, many years. So she had a temper. So I don't really know what was going on in her mind.
GROSS: What do these artifacts mean to you - the letters, the bridal veil?
OTSUKA: I mean, the letters, to me, they were like gold. It was like opening a window into my grandfather's past and just seeing a side of him that I'd never seen before. And I used them when I began to write my first novel, but my mother had also not read the letters before, and she read them first, and she told me afterwards it was like reading a story. And I could read the letters because they were written in English. His English was actually quite good. And I think he knew that if he wrote in English that it'd be easier to get past the censors because all the letters were censored by the government. So I remember my grandmother once making the snipping motion and laughing, so some of the letters that she had received while she was in camp had been just, you know, cut to shreds by the censors, so she couldn't read them. But if you wrote in Japanese, they would - the letters would have to be translated when it - it would just take much longer, the whole process.
And, you know, he was just a good man. I think he was such a good man, very patient, very kind. I later also learned that he - because his English was very good, he helped translate some of the Geneva Convention rules for the prisoners that he was with in the camps, so they could assert their rights. But I'm sorry that I didn't know him better.
GROSS: When your family came back after the war was over, did they still have their home?
OTSUKA: They did. They were very fortunate because most Japanese could not own property by law. So - but my grandfather - I think he bought his home in his children's name, and they were American born and, therefore, U.S. citizens. So I think the deed was in their name, and then maybe when they turned 18, they could pass it over to him. And the house had been paid for, so they actually had - unlike most families, they had a home to return to. I mean, there was a - you know, there was a housing shortage after the war, so many Japanese Americans who returned from the camps just had no place to live. So they would live in hostels, or there were these makeshift trailer camps. It was just - it was very, very difficult. But they had their home. But it had just been completely trashed. Many things had been stripped from that house. But it was theirs.
GROSS: People had broken in and stolen things?
OTSUKA: There was a kindly reverend (laughter) who had promised to rent out the house for them while they were away, but he was a crook, and so they never saw any of the rent money. Many people lived there, obviously, while they were gone. So the place was just - I think it was just a mess.
GROSS: What do you know about how your grandparents first came to the U.S.?
OTSUKA: Well, my grandmother - her father was a Methodist minister in Japan. So he came to America in, I think, 1927 for the World Sunday School Conference. And my grandmother was one of, I think, six daughters, but she was the youngest. So she was expected to stay home, never marry and take care of her father. And she wanted no part of that.
So she asked if she could come with him to America to give a talk about education. She somehow got a visa to come to America. I think that she might have bribed the, you know, government officials. I think I remember her saying that she sent them a bag of brown sugar, which was very valuable back then. But she got a visa to travel with her father. And then at a certain point, she bolted and knew that she did not want to go back with her father, but she had to find a husband.
So she gave a talk in a Japanese American Methodist church. And I think it was about education. She was a teacher back in Japan, and then she put the word out on the QT to some of the women in the audience that she was looking for a husband. And she was introduced to my grandfather. And they had, I think, a very whirlwind courtship and were married shortly thereafter. He'd come over years earlier, first to study. I think he studied English and law at UC Berkeley, but he never was able to finish because he - I think at a certain point, he had to go to work to send money back home, I think, to his family.
But so she - her father was enraged that she would not go back to Japan with him. So she was really estranged from her family. She never went back to Japan again. You know, even years later, when she could've returned to Japan, she just refused to. She would always say till the end of her life that America is the best, you know? I mean, she was able to carve out a life for herself in America, not always a happy life, but it was - you know, it was her own life. She didn't have to stay home and take care of her father.
GROSS: And then, of course, like we said, you know, she spends - what? - three years in a Japanese American incarceration camp. But she still appreciated America after that.
OTSUKA: She did, much to, you know, our surprise. She - you know, she didn't sound bitter. I mean, she was just tough. You know, life was - I mean, life - I mean, she was born in 1900, right? So, you know, life was not expected to be easy back then. I mean, so I don't think she expected life to be easy. And in America, she just kind of met, you know, whatever obstacles were put in her way. And - you know, and I think she was also - people really liked her. I remember one story that she told - like, every day, the bus driver would drop her off when she was coming home from her house-cleaning jobs. And her house was not a stop on his route, but he would make a special stop in front of her house so she could get off there, you know? You know, she had pride in what she did, I think. Even if she was, you know, scrubbing people's floors, I think she had a very, very strong sense of self.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court has halted provisions of a new law that would eliminate cash bail for criminal defendants, issuing a stay hours before the new policies were set to take effect Sunday.
The high court said in Saturday's order that the stay was needed to “maintain consistent pretrial procedures throughout Illinois” as the court prepares to hear arguments on the matter.

The order said the court would coordinate an “expedited process” for an appeal the Illinois Attorney General's Office filed Friday with the court of a local judge’s ruling, which found that eliminating cash bail for criminal defendants is unconstitutional.
Democrats who control the Illinois General Assembly had pushed for eliminating the posting of a cash bond — a practice long used to ensure that people accused of crimes appear at trial. Opponents of requiring bail contend that it results in the poor and innocent sitting in jail awaiting their day in court while the wealthy and guilty go free.
Republicans, meanwhile, said they fear that eliminating cash bail risks potentially releasing dangerous criminals.

In November, Democrats sought to appease that criticism by adding numerous offenses to a list of crimes that qualify a defendant to remain jailed while awaiting trial.
Kankakee County Circuit Judge Thomas Cunnington ruled Wednesday that the General Assembly had violated the constitution’s separation of powers clause by eliminating cash bail in the so-called SAFE-T Act criminal justice overhaul. He said the issue of bail should be left to the judiciary.
Prosecutors and sheriffs from 64 Illinois counties had filed a lawsuit challenging the bail provision, called the Pretrial Fairness Act, although Cunnington’s ruling did not include the injunction they had sought.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said Saturday he appreciated the high court’s haste to address the issue. But Raoul, a Democrat, said in a statement it was “important to note that the order issued today by the court is not a decision on the merits of the constitutionality of the SAFE-T Act.”

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he was confident the act would be found to be constitutional by the justices. He said in a statement the law's changes reflect “long overdue reforms that will make Illinois families safer and prevent violent offenders from being able to buy their freedom just because they are wealthy enough."
Before the state Supreme Court issued its stay, Illinois counties were positioned to handle defendants’ first court appearances quite differently beginning Sunday. Cook County officials were vowing to proceed with the reforms while many counties named in the lawsuit said they would not implement them.
The SAFE-T Act was borne of the May 2020 police-involved murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Buoyed by a state Supreme Court commission that recommended reform, lawmakers eliminated bail to ease the burden on defendants, who are innocent until proven guilty, who can’t afford the price of pretrial freedom. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Illinois-high-court-halts-elimination-of-cash-bail-17688678.php | 2023-01-01 19:22:12 | 0 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Illinois-high-court-halts-elimination-of-cash-bail-17688678.php |
GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations’ cultural and satellite agencies have joined forces to more systematically track the impact of Russia’s invasion on Ukraine’s architecture, art, historic buildings and other cultural heritage, and have compiled an initial list of more than 200 sites that have been damaged or destroyed.
Geneva-based UNOSAT and UNESCO, the Paris-based educational, scientific and cultural agency, announced Wednesday that they are finalizing a database of cultural sites that compares “before and after” images bought from private-sector satellite companies. These will be used to inform experts in a first phase and eventually the wider public about the devastation wreaked on Ukraine’s patrimony.
“It’s important for us to document the damage, but also to make sure we have the information available before the recovery,” said Krista Pikkat, who heads the culture and emergencies department at UNESCO.
She said early work began months ago. “We actually realized that, this wealth of information, we needed to put it on a platform for our experts so that we can monitor the situation.”
While, as of Wednesday, some 205 sites were listed, none of Ukraine’s seven UNESCO “World Heritage Sites” — a listing of some of the world’s greatest cultural artifacts and heritage — had been affected.
Building on systems already used in places like Syria, whose war ravaged historic sites, monuments and artifacts, UNESCO said it first tracks Ukrainian culture ministry alerts about damage to cultural sites. Then, it cross-checks those findings with social media and other sources, and then — if warranted — calls on UNOSAT to try to get relevant satellite pictures.
Weather, namely cloud cover, can hamper the effort.
The sites with verified damage are plotted on a digital map — with virtual red pins to mark the impact spots — and included in a searchable database to help experts trace the devastation. Ultimately, cultural experts from UNESCO and their associates strive to visit the sites to get a first-hand look — often a tough if not impossible task in a war zone.
Areas like Mariupol in the south, the region around the capital Kyiv, and the eastern Donetsk region were littered with red dots in a demonstration of the database on Wednesday.
UNESCO experts have had no access to areas held by Russian forces or Russian-backed separatists, such as in Mariupol — whose battered remains fell into Russian control after a desperate holdout by Ukrainian forces earlier this year.
The joint effort amounts to the latest step in the painstaking process by many U.N. and other national and international organizations to keep tabs on the fallout since President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian forces to invade on Feb. 24.
The hunt for the impact on culture adds to efforts by prosecutors, human rights experts, refugee agencies and others to document the devastation from the conflict on lives and livelihoods.

Women in leadership roles are leaving their jobs in search of better opportunities and increased flexibility, according to a new report, and that could spell good news for the women and bad news for the companies they're leaving behind.
What's more, the women are exiting at a higher rate than their male counterparts, according to the latest iteration of Women in the Workplace, an annual report from consultancy firm McKinsey & Company and women's advocacy nonprofit LeanIn.org, out Tuesday.
This trend marks a shift in how some women leaders may be approaching their careers. Following a tumultuous few years in which women reported heightened burnout owing to pandemic stresses and a lopsided work/life balance, and in which one in four women were considering downshifting or leaving work altogether, many are reigniting their professional ambitions.
This shift also follows a larger cultural moment -- the so-called Great Resignation, where workers started leaving jobs in droves in 2021 to pursue positions better suited to them. In November 2021, 4.5 million people left their jobs, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Women are saying, 'I've survived, but I also wanted to thrive,'" said Lareina Yee, a senior partner at McKinsey and one of the report's authors.
The report, in its eighth year, includes survey data from more than 41,000 employees in the US across about 20 industries. It digs into some of the reasons women leaders could be leaving, including to go in search of employers who prioritize flexibility, remote or hybrid work, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Forty-nine percent of women leaders surveyed said flexibility was a top-three issue they were considering when deciding whether to stay in their jobs. That's compared with 34% of male leaders).
Women in senior roles aren't the only ones placing importance on those factors. In fact, some of these issues could be even more important to younger women, according to the report. Fifty-eight percent of women under 30 said advancement has become more important to them in the last two years, as compared with 31% of women leaders. Almost two-thirds would be more interested in advancing if they saw women in leadership roles with the work-life balance they desire.
For companies, losing women in leadership roles and losing younger women exacerbates an already persistent problem. Yee pointed out that entry-level roles are about 48% women, and that number drops over time, down to about 26% of executive roles (the folks who report to a company's CEO).
And as women are more likely to drive efforts like diversity, equity and inclusion, according to the report, and as a mounting pile of research shows companies with diversity in their executive teams outperform their less diverse peers in terms of profitability, this exodus could have a real consequence for companies.
In short, companies don't need more reasons to lose women.
"It's not only that we're losing the women leaders that often lead to better business results," said LeanIn.Org's co-founder and CEO Rachel Thomas. "They're also deriving a lot of the cultural change in organizations that we know employees want to see."
The pandemic gave some working women a look at how remote and hybrid work can be a sustainable work arrangement. In fact, 64% of women who get to work the way they prefer (be it remote, hybrid or on site) said they were unlikely to leave their job in the next year. Only one in 10 said they'd prefer to work mostly on site.
Aside from the flexibility, 36% of women of color who mostly work on site said they deal with behavior like microaggressions and "othering" as compared with 23% who are mostly remote. Harvard Business Review explains microaggressions as "verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults to the target person or group." Along those lines, 43% women with disabilities report experiencing similar problems on site, as opposed to 31% who mostly work remote.
"That really punctuates how important it is that companies really invest in inclusion, and really invest in making sure that all women feel supported," Thomas said.
Aftermath
Though the most life-changing era of the pandemic might be in the past, the report did find some lingering issues. For example, 43% of women leaders said they were burned out, compared with 31% of their male counterparts. Women leaders have been more likely to prioritize employees' well-being and as last year's report pointed out, help them navigate work-life challenges and even provide emotional support, according to the report.
The report also refreshed some past statistics. For every 100 men promoted from entry-level to manager, 87 women make the same move (down from 89 in 2021). For women of color, that number is 82 (down from 85). Yee said these small movements in numbers more so underline a stubborn problem in companies where women are just not advancing to their first promotion. It's something the report has dubbed "the broken rung."
"Instead of thinking about what the woman may or may not have done," Yee said, "what is the company not doing?" | https://www.cnet.com/culture/more-women-in-leadership-roles-ready-to-ditch-jobs-and-find-better-ones/ | 2022-10-18 14:10:39 | 1 | https://www.cnet.com/culture/more-women-in-leadership-roles-ready-to-ditch-jobs-and-find-better-ones/ |

Monster mortadella shown in New York weighs 661 pounds, measures 6.4 feet long
Italian curated meats producer, Veroni, debuted the monster meat at New York City Wine & Food Festival
This is some seriously big meat.
Italian curated meats producer, Veroni, brought the largest mortadella ever seen in the U.S. to the New York City Wine & Food Festival (NYCWFF) last weekend.
The monster mortadella weighed in at 661 pounds.
It measured 6.4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter.
HOW TO MAKE A SPOOKY HALLOWEEN CHARCUTERIE BOARD COMPLETE WITH PROP SKULL
The giant mortadella was produced at Veroni's facilities in Correggio, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy — and was transferred to New York via ship.
A Veroni spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the giant mortadella aimed to "delight" the thousands of visitors at New York’s largest food festival.
Veroni also brought along a specialist in slicing giant mortadella, who cut the meat into cubes — "one of the best ways" to enjoy the cold cut — and served it to eventgoers.
NATIONAL PASTA DAY: FUN FACTS ABOUT THE NOODLE
"Contrary to normal-size mortadellas, the giant ones need to be cooked for longer," Veroni added.
Experts say that "this process contributes to enhancing their taste and flavor. Hence, the motto: ‘The bigger, the better.’"
But this New York mortadella masterpiece isn’t the largest one that Veroni has ever produced.
In 1996, the company won a Guinness World Record for the biggest mortadella in the world.
It weighed 5,732 pounds and measured nearly 78 inches in diameter.
The world record is still undefeated to this day.
"Today, the company produces different formats of giant mortadella," Veroni added.
"One of the biggest (4500 lb.) is showcased at every edition of Cibus Food Fair in Parma, the major Italian agri-food exhibition."
PASTA QUIZ! HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THESE FUN FACTS ABOUT A FAVORITE FOOD?
Veroni was founded in 1925 by the five Veroni brothers, who were the first to produce large mortadellas.
By the 1930s, this passion earned the family the reputation of "mortadella specialists."
Now, Veroni is the No. 1 brand for Italian charcuterie in America.
Veroni's U.S. president, Marco Veroni, said in a press release that mortadella specifically has "great potential" to emulate the Italian culinary experience in the U.S.
"Americans are starting to understand the value and taste of mortadella, a cold cut completely new in its culinary culture," he said.
"With its deep connection to our territory and the long tradition, mortadella is one of the Italian excellencies that enhance the cult of Italian taste."

LONDON (AP) — Credit Suisse shares plunged Monday after Swiss authorities cut a deal with its bigger rival UBS to acquire the troubled bank at a marked-down price. But European bank stocks and the wider market gained as investors watch whether moves to shore up banks will stem further upheaval in the global financial system.
Shares of Credit Suisse, whose woes stem from questions over its internal controls, closed nearly 56% lower a day after UBS said it would buy its fellow Swiss bank for a lowball price of 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.25 billion). The shares traded at about the level they are valued at in the deal.
Swiss regulators orchestrated the purchase in a bid to stop more turmoil after the collapse of two U.S. banks. In an indication of the frantic, behind-the-scenes deal-making to resolve the issue before markets opened, the acquisition was announced late Sunday.
There is still uncertainty over how the deal will play out for the combined lender and what comes next for the wider banking system. Analysts say some previous forced bank mergers didn’t work out well for shareholders in the long run.
It could be that no more banks get into trouble, but it’s also possible that “we just go from one weak institution falling over to the next,” said Vicky Redwood, senior economic adviser at Capital Economics.
There no other obvious candidates that could be singled out like Credit Suisse, but it’s “hard to predict where the problems will emerge,” she said.
UBS shares initially dropped on the Swiss stock exchange but closed up 1.3%. The deal whipsawed other European bank stocks, which tumbled before some clawed back their losses. Germany’s Deutsche Bank, France’s BNP Paribas and Italy’s UniCredit ended higher, while London-based Barclays sank 2.3%.
Swiss authorities urged UBS to take over its smaller rival after a central bank plan for Credit Suisse to borrow up to 50 billion francs ($54 billion) last week failed to reassure investors and customers.
Many of Credit Suisse’s problems were unique and unlike the weaknesses that brought down Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in the U.S., including high interest rates. Those U.S. failures have raised questions about other potentially weak global financial institutions, sweeping up the already beleaguered Swiss bank.
Credit Suisse has faced an array of troubles in recent years, including bad bets on hedge funds, repeated shakeups of its top management and a spying scandal involving UBS.
Analysts and financial leaders say safeguards are stronger since the 2008 global financial crisis and that banks worldwide have plenty of available cash and support from central banks. But concerns about risks to the deal, losses for some investors and Credit Suisse’s falling market value could renew fears about the health of banks.
Tobias Straumann, an economic history professor at University of Zurich, said the merger was the right move because the U.S. bank collapses and the danger to Credit Suisse was “an international banking crisis in the making.”
“Markets are very nervous, and I think an additional accident in Switzerland would have fueled a lot of problems,” he said.
Credit Suisse is among 30 financial institutions known as globally systemically important banks, and authorities were worried about the fallout if it were to fail.
UBS is bigger but Credit Suisse wields considerable influence, with $1.4 trillion assets under management. It has significant trading desks around the world, caters to the rich through its wealth management business, and is a major mergers and acquisitions adviser. However, Credit Suisse weathered the 2008 financial crisis without assistance, unlike UBS.
As part of the deal, approximately 16 billion francs ($17.3 billion) in higher-risk Credit Suisse bonds will be wiped out, leaving investors with hefty losses. Lawyers were already circling, eyeing possible legal action to get compensation for bondholders amid concern about the market for those bonds and other banks that hold them.
The combination of the two Swiss banks, each with histories dating to the mid-19th century, strikes at the country’s reputation as a global financial center — putting it on the cusp of having a single big national bank that would be too big to fail.
Some customers were caught off guard by the turmoil, at odds with Switzerland’s reputation as as stable banking haven.
Sahil Dua, an Indian software engineer living in Zurich, holds a UBS account but opened one at Credit Suisse last Tuesday, the same day the lender flagged “material weaknesses” in internal financial controls that ultimately helped spark its downward spiral.
“My impression as a customer,” Dua said, is “that at least these two banks were going to be fine, whatever happens.”
Dua said he wanted the credit card that came with the Credit Suisse account and that he considered switching over his primary bank account and bringing his savings from UBS. Not anymore.
He has a Credit Suisse account “with a balance of zero, and I’m glad that it’s still zero because I didn’t add any money yet to it.” In the future, he plans to spread out his money in more than one bank.
“I will look into diversification more seriously now,” Dua said.
As the market tries to figure out what comes next after the merger, Straumann, the professor, said he wouldn’t be surprised to see problems for regional banks in Europe after further interest rate increases, much like what happened with midsized banks in U.S.
“The banking system of Europe has not fully recovered from the crisis” in 2008, he said. “It’s better, of course, than it used to be, but it’s vulnerable.”

DALLAS, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ashland Greene Capital, a Dallas-based multifamily real estate investment firm, announced its Parkwyn Townhomes exit today with twice the projected average annual return (AAR) within a shorter hold period than anticipated (42 months versus projected 60 months).
Notably, Parkwyn represents one of Ashland Greene's properties that prompted the firm's launch of its own property management company – AG Living. Propelled in part by the pandemic and then the Texas freeze, leadership realized it needed to take on direct control of Parkwyn as well as other properties to secure the quality experience it desired for residents and the level of return it desired for investors.
"We knew Parkwyn had tons of potential," said Shakti C'Ganti, CEO and Founder. "We stepped into the property management role after having to change management companies twice. When we took over Parkwyn, we inherited over $300k in unpaid A/P, lots of deferred maintenance, and 75% occupancy."
With AG Living at the property management helm, occupancy increased and at exit sits at 99%. Projected AAR was 14.80 percent, and at exit, actual AAR is 30.60 percent, with internal rate of return (IRR) at 23.54 percent, from a projected 12.80 percent.
Investor Relations Vice President Aalok Parikh credits the AG Living team with being a driving force behind the deal's success.
"We knew we had to act quickly to ensure we stayed true to our commitment to our investors," Parikh said. "Using our own property management division enables us to better control expenses, and more importantly, the quality of the resident experience. The challenges we faced over the last few years with the pandemic and then the Texas freeze taught us that it's best to be able to directly control our product, which means we're better able to manage quality and drive and increase occupancy."
Ashland Greene now operates a full vertical integration model through multiple divisions: Ashland Greene Capital, Construction and AG Living. According to Parikh, operations benefit greatly from resulting economies of scale, translating into an ability to produce higher returns for investors.
Ashland Greene is a fast-growing multifamily real estate investment firm with a primary focus on the DFW metroplex. It receives an average annual return of approximately 25 percent on their exits where the typical hold period is 2.8 years and averages 95 percent depreciation on Year One investments. In 2022, Ashland Greene plans to return about $90 million to investors.
Ashland Greene is a vertically integrated real estate company which identifies and repositions undervalued multifamily investments in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Our local focus, dedication to trustworthy, long-term relationship building, and commitment to community, enable Ashland Greene to create a unique investment experience which delivers long-term value for its investors, residents, and communities.

Coach Cheri Perry and the Zachary volleyball team enter the 2022 season with the daunting task of replacing eight seniors from last year’s team. After a summer offseason under strength and conditioning coach Jason Little, the Broncos came into the month of August young but physically ready to compete.
During jamboree action early in the month, the Broncos improved during losses to Live Oak and Denham Spring culminating in a victory over St. Michaels. On Aug. 30. they lost to University High in a match Perry indicated that “each day we are getting better than we were the day before.” Coach Perry also commented that “we have to get more consistent with our passing, so that we are able to run our offense.”
The Broncos are relying on only three seniors this year (Sydney Marshall, Genevieve Thwang and Annie Maas) and a large freshman and junior class. On the team’s youth Perry commented that “they are a gritty bunch that understands they have to work for everything, and we are not going to let our inexperience be an excuse.”
The Broncos home opener with McKinley on Sept. 1 was the perfect opportunity to continue development and search for the elusive team identify. It was also an opportunity to build momentum early in front of the home fans.
In the opening game the junior varsity Broncos were victorious in straight sets (25-5 and 25-8). The varsity game was more of the same as the Broncos gave the home fans a win in straight sets (25-13, 25-8 and 25-2).
As you can see from the margin of victory by set, the young Broncos gained confidence and improved from the first set to the last.
In the varsity opening set the Broncos took the lead on a spike by sophomore front row player Willia Puckett. Nyla Doiron’s serve extended the lead to 11-4. Later in the set McKinley came to within 5 points (18-13) before Perry placed a well called timeout to adjust the defense and take back the serve.
The Broncos responded, and senior Sydney Marshall closed out the Panthers with seven straight service points that included multiple aces to take the first set 25-13. Marshall Perry noted “is the heart and soul of this team.” On her expectations for Marshall in 2022 Perry said she "doesn’t necessarily have to kill great or pass great but she has to keep us composed.”
The second set the Broncos caught fire and raced out to a 6-0 lead behind the service game of sophomore Audrey Mitchem and the play at the net by Marshall and Aubrey Sanders. On Sanders play and expectation for this year, Perry noted that “Once she realizes what she is capable of doing and gains consistency, she will definitely be an offense threat.”
The Broncos went on another run to extend the lead to 14-5 before McKinley called for a timeout to stop the onslaught. The timing was too late as the Broncos cruised and the Panthers struggled to break serve losing 25-8.
The third set was more of the same as the Broncos poured it on by taking advantage of Panther miscues to jump out to a 7-1 lead and never looked back only allowing one additional point by the Panthers (25-2). For a young team, the opportunity to improve and stay focused during large victories can also be a learning opportunity.
The team that played McKinley will only get better as they continue to play together and find their identity. They are a fun team to watch and opportunities to see them at home abound. Volleyball home games in September include Port Allen (Sept. 13), Catholic High Point Coupee (Sept. 14) and Episcopal (Sept. 20).
The level of competition and district opponents hit the schedule in October. The Broncos will host St. Michael (Oct. 3), Baton Rouge High (Oct. 5), Central Private (Oct. 17), Central Oct. 24) and close out the home regular season with Scotlandville on Oct. 26. | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/communities/zachary/article_6190fcb4-2bb0-11ed-9176-9b62d7baca4e.html | 2022-09-05 08:03:29 | 1 | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/communities/zachary/article_6190fcb4-2bb0-11ed-9176-9b62d7baca4e.html |
Man with thousands of bullets and a grenade attacked police, killing officer. What was his plan?
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — It was a routine collision on a busy Fargo street. But after Mohamad Barakat drove past, armed with 1,800 rounds of ammunition, numerous firearms and a grenade, tragedy ensued.
After the shooting ended on July 14, one police officer was dead, and two other officers as well as a woman in the crash were wounded, leaving authorities wondering what further carnage Barakat might have been planning.
Officer Zach Robinson, the only officer in the melee who was not wounded, fatally shot Barakat with bystanders crouched nearby. More details are expected at a briefing Friday.
Barakat, a 37-year-old who briefly trained as an emergency responder at a nearby community college, had no criminal record. No social media presence.
But then he saw the collision. With police and firefighters tied up helping, Barakat began “stalking his way in and sizing up his opportunity,” North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley told reporters Wednesday in the most detailed update yet.
Barakat parked, watching for minutes until the officers walked away, about 15 to 20 feet (5 to 6 meters) from him. Then he lifted a .223-caliber rifle out of his car window and began firing in what Wrigley called “an absolute ambush” and “a murderous barrage of fire.”
The officers “had no time” to reach for their holstered guns with Barakat’s fusillade “so rapid,” Wrigley said.
Barakat, who lived in an apartment 2 miles (3 kilometers) away, was using a double-stacked magazine. He killed Officer Jake Wallin, 23, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Minnesota Army National Guard. The barrage also left Officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes critically wounded.
Wallin and Hawes were so new that they were still undergoing field training.
Barakat also hit Karlee Koswick, who was involved in the traffic collision, with two rounds as she ran away.
Robinson, who was in the street about 75 feet (23 meters) away from Barakat, “was the last man standing between what was coming next and what you can see this assailant was armed for,” Wrigley said.
Robinson moved from behind a vehicle involved in the crash and fired at Barakat. One of his shots disabled Barakat’s rifle, leaving 20 rounds unused after the killer fired 40.
“We have three officers down; send everybody,” Robinson said over the radio, after moving closer and noticing the fallen officers.
A wounded Barakat lay on the ground protected by his car, waving a 9 mm handgun. Robinson moved closer, calling out 16 times for Barakat to surrender.
Robinson came around the vehicle and gave one last command to Barakat to put down the gun before shooting him, said Wrigley, who called Robinson’s use of deadly force “justified.”
Lasting about two minutes, the gunfight was still longer than most, Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said. Wrigley noted Robinson fired approximately 30 rounds and had to stop to reload.
Zibolski said it might have been worse had there not been emergency crews already there, including an ambulance. As soon as the firing stopped, “firefighters bounced out and they were applying first aid immediately to our officers,” Zibolski said.
Before taking the drive, Barakat had rolled a weapons-filled suitcase from his apartment, Wrigley said. Inside his vehicle, investigators found the homemade hand grenade, as well as a vest with loaded magazines, more firearms and canisters of gasoline. There were more weapons back at his apartment.
“When you look at the amount of ammunition this shooter had in his car, he was planning on more mayhem in our community,” Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney said.
The attorney general said he believes the violence could have been the beginning of a mass shooting as the Downtown Fargo Street Fair and the Red River Valley Fair were underway.
The police chief said Barakat “was obviously dead-set on some pretty horrific acts, targets unknown at this time.” Authorities have said a motive is unknown.
As the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the FBI work on the case, the wounded are recovering, their conditions good or stable. Meanwhile, a funeral service is planned for Saturday for Wallin, whose body was cremated in his police uniform.

Nowhere in the Columbia River Gorge does the old and new collide quite like it does in Cascade Locks. For hundreds of years, the site of the present-day city (population: 1,500) was a Watlala fishing village; today, Native American anglers carry on that tradition at wooden scaffolds, selling their catches at markets and roadside stands around town. Just blocks from some of those fishing platforms, and across the street from a walk-up diner that’s been around since World War II, you’ll find a three-story brewpub celebrating its first anniversary this July.
Spend an afternoon wandering around town—it’s a 10-minute walk from one end of Cascade Locks’ core to the other—and you’ll see how natural and human-made forces have shaped that history.
Under the Bridge of the Gods, for instance, a mural depicts a massive land bridge across the Columbia River. This image is actually the original (and far more beautiful) Bridge of the Gods, which formed sometime between A.D. 1000 and 1200 after a landslide temporarily blocked the Columbia. According to Klickitat legend, one could cross the river without ever getting wet.
Spoiler alert: The Columbia eventually broke through, but those navigating the channel soon faced another hazard—a series of rapids, known as the Cascades Rapids, that were created by the landslide. So in 1890, construction of the Cascade Locks and Canal, undertaken to help vessels bypass the hazardous stretch of river, carved a rock formation that jutted out from the shore. The resulting enclave is known today as Thunder Island.
That mix of old and new—along with a close proximity to all the natural beauty the Columbia River Gorge has to offer—makes Cascade Locks a fun and fascinating day-trip destination. Just 45 minutes from Portland via Interstate 84, the cozy community is home to scenic hiking trails that end at thundering waterfalls, popular brewpubs and time-honored attractions that have drawn visitors for decades.
Saturday Morning
You probably had a quick breakfast back in Portland, so start your trip with one of two hikes—both of which end at a scenic waterfall (as if there’s any other kind).
Walk Through a Forest That’s Healing Itself
Distance: 4.5 miles Difficulty Level: Moderate Start Point: Bridge of the Gods Trailhead Elevation Gain: 875 ft
The hike to Dry Creek Falls begins at the Bridge of the Gods Trailhead at the base of its eponymous river crossing, and follows the Pacific Crest Trail south as it quickly leaves Cascade Locks and heads into a forest that burned in the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire. Even with charred trees lining the trail, signs of life abound in the woodpecker’s rapid-fire tapping, as well as the ferns and berry bushes lining the route. The out-and-back hike ends at the base of the rumbling Dry Creek Falls, which drops approximately 75 feet into its namesake creek. In all, the 4.5-mile round-trip hike gains about 875 feet in elevation along the way and will take most hikers two to three hours.
Make a Short Trek to a Stunning Double-Drop Waterfall
Distance: 2.4 miles Difficulty Level: Easy Starts: Wahclella Falls Trailhead Elevation Gain: 325 ft
If your little one is more excited about a post-hike ice cream at Cascade Locks’ Eastwind Drive-In than the hike itself, consider a shorter but no less dramatic trek to Wahclella Falls just a few miles west of town. The path heads south through a forest of fir and bigleaf maple, crosses Tanner Creek on a footbridge at the base of Munra Falls, and ends at the landmark waterfall—a two-tiered cascade that collectively plummets more than 100 feet in a narrow basalt canyon. The 2.4-mile round-trip hike gains about 325 feet in elevation along the way and should take most hikers no more than 90 minutes.
Saturday Afternoon
Eat the Catch of the Day
Fresh, local seafood doesn’t get much better than at Brigham Fish Market (681 Wa Na Pa St., 541-374-9340, brighamfish.com). The cozy market-restaurant combination is the brainchild of two sisters (both anglers and members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation) who display the day’s catch in a glass case and whip up a menu of regional seafood favorites, like fish and chips, oysters and clam strips, for on-site dining. There are plenty of outdoor tables for seating on a sunny day, and you really can’t go wrong with whatever looks good. But the seasonal, wild-caught specialties are notable standouts; in many cases, your spring sturgeon or summer steelhead was swimming in the Columbia River mere hours before you ordered it.
Order an Ice Cream Cone as Big as Your Head
A few blocks east, the Voodoo Doughnut-like lines at Eastwind Drive-In (395 Wa Na Pa St., 541-374-8380) hint at why the diner has been a roadside attraction since its neon sign first flickered on in 1939. The old-school food menu doesn’t boast many surprises—you’ll find plenty of burgers, sandwiches and other grilled items—but a sublime pleasure comes from biting into a post-hike cheeseburger cooked to order. What you’re really here for, though, are the desserts, which include famously massive ice cream cones, sundaes, decadent milkshakes and flavored flurries—similar to those made by the Golden Arches, but without the corporate greed and with soft serve machines that actually work.
Sunbathe on an Island
After all of that ice cream, take it easy for an hour or so and unfurl a blanket on Thunder Island (Southwest Portage Road, portofcascadelocks.org/thunder-island), accessed via a short footbridge from Marine Park (355 Wa Na Pa St., 541-374-8619, portofcascadelocks.org/marine-park) along the Columbia River. Thunder Island was carved out of the mainland in 1890 during construction of the Cascade Locks and Canal. Today, it’s a popular wedding venue—but if no one’s getting hitched, feel free to walk around, admire the Gorge from this unusual vantage point, and even watch Native American anglers on wooden scaffolding plucking sturgeon, salmon and steelhead from the river as they’ve done for thousands of years.
See What’s Chugging Through the Gorge
Away from the town’s core is Train Appreciation Park (Northwest Forest and Herman Creek lanes), which is little more than a plot of grass no larger than a studio apartment with two benches and a sign emblazoned with the park’s name. Sure enough, locomotives rumble by day and night on tracks across the street—making it the perfect place to, well, appreciate trains. Is it the highlight of your day in Cascade Locks? Probably not, unless you’re a certified railfan. But is it a delightful if silly stop? Absolutely.
Hop Aboard the Superyacht of the Columbia
Ask anyone who grew up within an hour’s drive of Cascade Locks about the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler (299 SW Portage Road, 503-224-3900, portlandspirit.com) and watch their eyes light up when they begin reminiscing about elementary school field trips on the triple-decker boat. Those young’uns have kids of their own today and are likely nursing Thunder Island IPAs (available at the ship’s bar) while gazing at regional landmarks and learning about the area’s history on each tour.
Stock Up on Fresh Salmon
We’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out vendors with the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (critfc.org) who sell fresh (in-season) salmon, packaged seafood and other goods at stands along Wa Na Pa Street, the main drag through town. The vendors don’t keep specific hours or days, but odds are good you’ll see signs directing you to a few stands on spring and summer weekends. Bring a cooler and buy some bagged ice in town—you can extend your Cascade Locks visit by way of eating fresh fish for your next several dinners.
Saturday Night
Help a Thru-Hiker Refuel
Thunder Island Brewing (601 Wa Na Pa St., 971-231-4599, thunderislandbrewing.com) built a loyal following with its scenic taproom right alongside the Columbia River—but the community’s biggest brewery moved to the main drag in Cascade Locks in fall 2020. The views from Thunder Island’s new 10,000-square-foot, two-story pub might have changed—they’re more expansive now, with the Gorge snaking away from the Bridge of the Gods to the west—but the brewery’s selection of creative takes on classic styles remains as stellar as ever. For an extra $7, the brewery’s Trail Magic program lets you buy a pint for thru-hikers on the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, which runs through Cascade Locks.
Ascend to a Gorgeous View
Not to be outdone, Gorges Beer Co. (390 Wa Na Pa St., 541-262-2021, gorgesbeer.com) became Cascade Locks’ second brewpub when it opened in 2021. Built to handle summertime crowds, the massive complex features three floors of indoor dining, accented by nature-inspired neon signs (one reads “Tap Into the Gorge”), comfy couches and plenty of indoor greenery—a vibe best described as “influencer chic.” On a sunny day, the third-floor patio boasts a small fire pit and wide-open views of Gorge peaks across the Columbia River in Washington. Raise a toast to that landscape with one of the more than dozen beers on tap, which range from Belgian-style farmhouse ales to a variety of IPAs.
Basque in the Son
If you’re thirsty for cider, watch the tap lists at both breweries, where you might see the latest release from the community’s own Son of Man (sonofman.co) on draft. The small-batch producer specializes in Basque-style cider, which tends to be dryer and slightly more tart than fruitier offerings from bigger-name brands. Ella McCallion and Jasper Smith launched the cidery in 2018, just three years after trying Basque-style cider for the first time.
“It was so different from the alco-pop beer alternatives that most domestic cider is,” Smith says.
“My notion of cider was that it was sweet,” adds McCallion, “and it had these other flavors going on—this was bright, tart, just a little bit funky, and so drinkable.”
Son of Man doesn’t usually open its taproom to the public—but watch for the cidery’s Summer Saturdays program the second Saturday of each month between June and September; the seasonal gatherings pair pours of housemade cider with locally sourced food. | https://www.wweek.com/culture/2022/08/22/day-trip-riverside-recreation-in-cascade-locks/ | 2022-08-22 23:48:11 | 1 | https://www.wweek.com/culture/2022/08/22/day-trip-riverside-recreation-in-cascade-locks/ |

Victory has a thousand fathers, the old adage runs, while failure is an orphan. If so, these are shaping up as tough times indeed for Republican State Committee chairman Jim Lyons.
Under his, ah, leadership, the Massachusetts Republican Party is at its lowest ebb in recent memory. Previously undisclosed bills are piling up, and with the allegation that Lyons directed a detective hired to do opposition research to a private individual for potential payment of his firm’s $52,000 invoice, a campaign finance probe seems likely to follow.
And yet, Lyons may not be finished. After all, as the Roman poet Virgil told us, fortune favors the bold. And if Virgil had defined bold as bullheaded, sneaky, and adept at abusing state committee rules, why, he would have pretty much covered the waterfront as far as Lyons is concerned.

Like Captain Ahab, the MassGOP skipper is not one to be daunted by disastrous circumstances of his own making. He’s hoping to be elected to a third term as party chief when the Republican State Committee convenes on Jan. 31.
A rational observer might wonder why, after a current term that saw Lyons undercut his own party’s elected officials while his favored Republican gubernatorial candidate got flattened like a pancake, he deserves one.
In a Monday presentation in Worcester, the far-right conservative unspooled the pitch he’s peddling: The state’s Republican establishment, by which he means Republicans who have actually gotten elected to office, cared only about themselves and not at all about the party activists and grass roots. Read: The callithumpian parade of unelectables he had recruited.
What’s more, Lyons himself got called several nasty names, either explicitly or at least by implication, as part of the party infighting. And if you are Lyons, it’s not just sticks and stones that break your bones.
Advertisement
“Those accusations were made by members of this party against me. I am going to show you tonight that the people involved are at the highest level of the Republican Party,” he intoned ominously.
There followed a glop of slop the likes of which I haven’t seen since the time a raccoon raided our trash can in search of a midnight snack. Lyons sorted through the refuse, reading snippets of e-mails and recalling supposed conversations, all pursuant to the notion that there had been a vast moderate-wing conspiracy to undermine him. Imagine an adolescent bounce-house party held in Glenn Beck’s noggin and you have a general idea of the tenor.
A moveable feast? Well, a portable pity party — one that featured a cameo by Geoff Diehl, the aforementioned flapjack, who treated the audience to a list of his own grievances.
Recounting his long alliance with Lyons, Diehl declared, “I am here to see through what we have been trying to do for a long time, which is make this party more effective and recruit good candidates.”
What, really, can one say?
Except, perhaps, that the political gods have not smiled upon that endeavor.
But for the briefest of moments, the heavens did seem to have bestowed on Lyons the gift that Scottish bard Robert Burns desired: The ability to see himself as others see him.
“People like us are crazy,” he began.
Advertisement
What remarkable candor, I thought.
Until he continued farther along his polemical path.
“That’s what they want us to believe.”
You, gentle reader, can draw your own conclusions by visiting the Grafton Republican Town Committee’s Facebook page and watching a video of the session, as I did.
Lyons’s political thesis is the same we’ve heard since time immemorial from ideologues: If conservatives would simply stand tall and proudly proclaim their right-wing values, they would win. Mind you, though, electoral victory isn’t what’s on Lyons’s agenda should he secure another term.
“I am running for party chair for one reason and one reason only: To hold the people who have tried to destroy our party accountable,” he said. (Check out that irascible ideologue in the mirror, Jim!)
“I want one more year,” he added. “I want to clean up this mess. I want these people who have cost the party money to pay for what happened.”
That leaves the impression that Lyons would depart halfway through another two-year term and turn the chairmanship over to someone else. Does anyone really believe that?
So, GOP State Committee members, if you want to make the state committee the vehicle for Lyon’s intraparty vendetta, by all means, vote him in for another term as ringmaster of the crazy circus. He’s certainly endlessly entertaining (and great column fodder) in that role.
But if you believe the state needs a functional Republican Party, one that can recruit and support candidates that might actually win public office, well, then, it’s time to usher poor Jim Lyons into a well-deserved retirement.

68-year-old man attacked during Akron carjacking
SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - A 68-year-old man was struck in the head several times during a carjacking in Akron Saturday afternoon.

Officers found the victim’s car, a Nissan Altima, Sunday morning in the area of Kohler Avenue and Hope Street, but the suspect remains on the loose.
The suspect is only described as a Black man, about 5′10″ tall, with a medium build. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a mask.
Anyone with information is asked to call Akron police.

After more than two decades as America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place.
Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager, overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in the month ending June 3, according to Nielsen data analyzed by Bump Williams Consulting. Modelo controlled 8.4% of U.S. grocery, convenience and liquor store sales; Bud Light fell to 7.3%.
It’s a milestone in the months-long sales decline Bud Light has experienced since early April, when critics vowed to boycott the brand after it sent a commemorative can to Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer. Bud Light has also faced backlash from Mulvaney’s fans, who think the brand didn’t do enough to support her.
Dave William, Bump Williams’ vice president of analytics and insights, said Bud Light has been the top-selling U.S. beer since 2001, and it could still retain that crown this year.
He noted that Bud Light’s year-to-date market share of 9% is still outpacing Modelo’s, at 8%.
Fed keeps rates unchanged
The Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged Wednesday after having raised it 10 straight times to combat high inflation.
But in a surprise move, the Fed signaled that it may raise rates twice more this year, beginning as soon as next month.
The Fed’s move to leave its benchmark rate at about 5.1%, its highest level in 16 years, suggests that it believes the much higher borrowing rates it’s engineered have made some progress in taming inflation.
The central bank’s 18 policymakers envision raising their key rate by an additional half-point this year, to about 5.6%, according to economic forecasts issued Wednesday.
Twelve of the 18 policymakers forecast at least two more quarter-point rate increases. Four supported a quarter-point increase. Only two envisioned keeping rates unchanged. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/06/14/ticker-bud-light-drops-from-top-spot-fed-keeps-rates-unchanged/ | 2023-06-14 21:41:02 | 1 | https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/06/14/ticker-bud-light-drops-from-top-spot-fed-keeps-rates-unchanged/ |
Privacy-preserving record linkage solution receives FedRAMP authorization, allowing federal agencies to securely and privately link healthcare data.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthVerity, Inc., the leader in Identity, Privacy, Governance and Exchange (IPGE) for real-world data, today announced that it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization at the Moderate security impact level for its Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) solution. At present, the FedRAMP marketplace lists 40 federal agencies that have granted HealthVerity an Authority to Operate (ATO).
HealthVerity PPRL leverages advanced identity resolution techniques to link patient records across time and data sources by creating unique but persistent identities, also called HealthVerity IDs (HVIDs).

OAK BROOK, Ill., Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletico Physical Therapy is proud to announce Coach Renee Saunders of Skutt Catholic High School in Omaha, Nebraska as the recipient of the 10th annual Athletico Coach of the Year Award. The Athletico Coach of the Year Award was created to recognize coaches for all they do to serve their local communities, including sportsmanship, coaching success and classroom involvement. In addition to receiving a commemorative plaque, Coach Saunders will receive a recovery package from Athletico's partners at Hyperice, a $250 Amazon gift card, and an Athletico prize package.
"What is impressive about Coach Saunders' nomination is that it stood out despite her team's successes on the court," said Payten Gerjerts, Director of Athletic Training Services for Athletico. "Multiple state titles is no small feat and should be applauded. However, developing a consistent culture of appreciation, respect, and positivity is what makes Coach's on-court accolades even more special. We love the core values she leads with and hope that some of the student-athletes she has coached will one day be coaches just like her. Congrats, Coach!"
Coach Saunders demonstrates what it means to be the Coach of the Year by serving as not only a coach, but also as a mentor to students by helping them learn lifelong lessons through sports and physical activity. This past season marked her 12th year teaching and coaching at Skutt Catholic as both the P.E. teacher and girls head volleyball coach. Following the 2022 season, Coach Saunders led the girls' volleyball program to win their eighth straight Nebraska state championship title, clinching the win by rallying in the final sets. Beyond her coaching duties, Coach Saunders is passionate about building lasting relationships with her student-athletes by encouraging them to focus on having fun, to respect themselves and others, and to be involved with a variety of activities. She is widely recognized for having a lasting impact on students by serving as a mentor to both current and former athletes, investing time in getting to know them individually, and helping them achieve their personal and athletic goals.
"Coach Saunders embraces sportsmanship in almost every aspect of her coaching style, from instilling these values in her athletes to cheering on and encouraging opposing teams," said Mike Volz, Athletic Trainer at Skutt Catholic and Coach of the Year nominator. "She has had an incredible impact on her athletes during her time at Skutt Catholic, empowering them to become the best version of themselves outside of their sport. Coach Saunders' positivity, humility and passion for coaching and mentoring are truly inspiring to our community."

HARRISON COUNTY, Texas — First responders searched tirelessly Tuesday night to rescue abandoned twin infants who officials say were left alone by their mother who crashed her vehicle while intoxicated on a dead-end road off Interstate 20 near Marshall.
Officials said one baby was found inside the crashed vehicle, while the other was found alone in the woman's home after hours of combing through the woods.
“It could have been much worse,” Harrison County Sheriff B.J. Fletcher said, noting that both babies are now safe in Child Protective Services custody.
Fantasia Martinez, 26, of Marshall, was booked into the Harrison County Jail, where she is charged with two counts of abandonment/endangerment of a child imminent danger/bodily injury, driving while intoxicated with a child passenger, escape and resisting arrest/transport.
Fletcher said someone called saying a woman, who was later identified as Martinez, was acting erratic and running into traffic in the eastbound lanes of I-20 at mile marker 619. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and possibly narcotics.
When deputies apprehended her, Martinez said she was driving her vehicle when it broke down and both of her kids were still in the car.
A deputy found the vehicle at the end of Buck Sherrod Road south of I-20 with the engine still running and an infant in the backseat, Fletcher said. The car came to a rest in front of a tree and a window had to be broken to get the child out.
Fletcher said Martinez escaped custody and a deputy had to divert attention from the baby to physically detain her. Once again in custody, she began talking about a second child, who officials realized was missing possibly in the woods.
“Obviously when you're looking for people, there's a heightened concern. But as any first responder or any person you know, will tell you when it's a child, it's different. Especially a 6-month-old child because they're helpless,” Fletcher said. “You know, if you don't find them, they're completely helpless. Our fear was that they were in the woods.”
Roughly 60 first responders, including the sheriff's office, Marshall Fire Department, Texas Department of Public Safety and local emergency service district representatives, were deployed to search for the child.
One of the deputies had to be treated for heat exhaustion at the scene.
“He just refused to quit,” Fletcher said, adding the deputy has since recovered.
Fletcher said they got in touch with Martinez’s mother, who lives in Florida, and she confirmed Martinez does have two babies. Investigators received an address that Martinez recently moved to and close to the search area.
Officials then went to Martinez’s home, where through the window an officer saw a car seat. No one appeared to be at the residence. After entering the home, the second baby was found in the car seat on a coffee table around midnight Wednesday, Fletcher said.
Both children were found to be uninjured. The babies had their diapers changed and were given to CPS.
Fletcher said the twins are in a safer environment now and he hopes Martinez will seek help to provide a better life for her children.
“But in the meantime, CPS will assure that they're taken care of and safe,” he said.
Fletcher added investigators are working to determine how long both babies were alone. Martinez could be facing further charges from DPS.
DPS will conduct a blood test to determine what substance caused Martinez's intoxication, Fletcher said.
"Thank you to the deputies, DPS, ESDs, and Marshall Fire Department for their efforts in locating these children," Fletcher said. "It is heartbreaking to know that some children have to live in these conditions, but I am glad no lives were lost." | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/east-texas-woman-abandoned-infant-twins-after-crashing-vehicle-on-i-20/501-be62964b-728f-4593-942f-b96797afc1d9 | 2022-06-16 01:46:44 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/east-texas-woman-abandoned-infant-twins-after-crashing-vehicle-on-i-20/501-be62964b-728f-4593-942f-b96797afc1d9 |
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — The European Union and the U.S. on Monday questioned Serbia’s proclaimed commitment to join Europe’s 27-nation bloc after Belgrade signed an agreement with Moscow pledging long-term “consultations” on foreign policy matters amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Serbia’s officials signed the deal last week in New York with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, where most Western delegations shunned Russia’s top diplomat over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Under the 10-year rule of Serbian populist President Aleksandar Vucic, a former ultranationalist, Serbia has been steadily sliding away from its proclaimed EU goals and establishing close political ties with Russia.
Serbia’s foreign ministry has sought to downplay the importance of the signed agreement, saying it’s a “technical” one and relates to bilateral ties and not security issues.
Although Serbia said it supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, its right-wing government has repeatedly refused to join Western sanctions against Slavic ally Russia. Aligning foreign policies with the EU is one of the main preconditions for joining the 27-nation bloc, but Serbia has increasingly defied calls to do so.
The news of the deal triggered harsh criticism from both EU and U.S. officials.
European Commission spokesman Peter Stano warned on Monday that Serbia’s relations with Russia can’t be “business as usual” when Moscow is violating the U.N. Charter with its armed forces committing atrocities in Ukraine.
“It’s a very clear sign of their intention to strengthen their ties, to further strengthen relations between Serbia and Russia and this is raising serious questions,” he said. “We are taking this very seriously and we are following this up.”
U.S. Ambassador Christopher R. Hill said “further alignment with Russia is a step in the wrong direction and contrary to Serbia’s stated European aspirations.”
“The United States believes that no country should be expanding cooperation with Russia while it continues its war of aggression against Ukraine,” Hill said in a statement to The Associated Press. “News of this agreement signed with Russia was surprising and stands in stark contrast with other constructive meetings in New York with Serbian officials.” | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/ap-eu-us-question-serbias-eu-commitment-after-russia-deal/ | 2022-09-27 07:27:41 | 1 | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/ap-eu-us-question-serbias-eu-commitment-after-russia-deal/ |

VANCOUVER, BC, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Zacatecas Silver Corp. ("Zacatecas" or the "Company") (TSXV: ZAC) (OTC: ZCTSF) (FSE: 7TV) is pleased to report multiple silver assays from the ongoing diamond drilling at Panuco North. The recent assay results, including 1.83m at 235 g/t Ag Eq (224 g/t Ag and 0.15 g/t Au), identifies a new zone of near surface mineralisation in the previously untested central zone of Panuco North.
- Angled diamond drilling at Panuco North targeted the western strike extension of near surface mineralization reported by Zacatecas on April 7, 2022.
- Panuco North results include:
- Drilling in the eastern and central part of the Panuco North Vein has now intercepted near-surface mineralization over a strike length of 700 m, with the vein remaining open along strike and open at depth.
- Assay results from 22 Panuco North holes are pending.
Dr. Chris Wilson, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of Zacatecas comments, "The most recent round of drilling tested the central zone of Panuco North and confirmed that high grade near surface silver mineralisation is present throughout the Panuco North vein system, extending the know mineralised strike length by over 300 meters across a previously untested area. The Panuco North Vein has continued to intercept strong silver grades The down dip extensions of this central zone extension remain open to depth and represent robust future targets.''
High-grade silver results from drill hole PAN 2022-057 included 1.83 m @ 235 g/t Ag Eq (224 g/t Ag and 0.15 g/t Au) from 53.7 m thereby confirming high-grade near surface mineralisation in the previously untested central zone, extending the strike length of know mineralisation. Diamond drill holes PAN 2022-053, 060 and 061 were carried out in the southeast of Panuco North (see Figure 1). Strong silver assay results in drill holes PAN 2022-053, 060 and 061 confirmed the down dip extension of high-grade silver mineralisation in the southeast and results Included 3.71 m @ 163 g/t Ag Eq (151 g/t Ag and 0.16 g/t Au) from 54.49 m, 1.28 m @ 263 g/t Ag Eq (231 g/t Ag and 0.22 g/t Au) from 147.53 m (PAN2022-061), 1.35 m @ 179 g/t Ag Eq (159 g/t Ag and 0.26 g/t Au) from 100 m (PAN 2022-060) and 0.68 m @ 170 g/t Ag Eq (108 g/t Ag and 0.83 g/t Au) from 95.06 m (PAN 2022-053).
The Company has now completed 63 drill holes at Panuco North for a total of 7,240 meters. Results from 22 holes are pending and are anticipated to be received during June. While waiting for assay results from Panuco North, the Company is drilling at the high priority El Cristo target, which is an extension of the prolific Veta Grande Vein. Three holes have been completed in the ongoing program at El Cristo, all intersecting mineralisation with assays pending.
Table 1. Drill Results and Intercepts at Panuco North
Additional drilling is required to determine true widths as all hole intercepted veins at an oblique angle. The assays are not capped. Assumptions used in USD for the silver equivalent calculation were metal prices of $24/oz silver, $1,800/oz gold and recovery is assumed to be 100%. Assay results for three holes (PAN 2022-055, 054 and 062) located in the south-eastern Panuco North returned narrow zones of low-grade silver-gold mineralization. Three Holes (PAN 2022-048, 049, 050) were drilled to test an area of central Panuco south with no surface vein expression, no vein was intersected, and the holes returned no significant assay results.
Zacatecas follows industry-recognized standards of Best Practice and Quality Assurance/Quality Control. Samples are submitted to ALS in batches of 20 — comprising 17 half cut core samples, one field blank, one certified reference material and one staged duplicate. Samples are sealed in plastic bags using single use tie-locks and delivered to ALS Zacatecas — thereby ensuring chain of custody. Since the ALS facility in Zacatecas is only a preparation facility, sample pulps were sent to ALS Ireland for fire assay. To date all batches have passed QAQC and blanks and CRM's were within acceptable tolerance limits. All diamond holes were drilled PQ diameter. Core recovery across all veins was better than 98%.

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell is being roasted on Twitter after he asked about the size of a Republican colleague’s gun.
The inquiry and subsequent backlash came after Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Georgia, shared a video on social media holding a pin of a miniature rifle in his congressional office.
"Why is it so small?" Swalwell, D-Calif., asked in response.
Several responses to the post highlighted Swalwell’s prior relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence spy Christine Fang, also known as Fang Fang, and made a not-so-subtle reference to Swalwell himself.
ERIC SWALWELL DENIES WRONGDOING IN CHINESE SPY SCANDAL
"Is what Fang Fang told you…" responded conservative comedian Tim Young.
"That's what she said (Fang Fang that is)," former U.S. House candidate Josh Barnett wrote.
The query and Swalwell’s connection to the suspected Chinese spy also prompted comments about the suspected Chinese spy balloon that was discovered over Montana on Thursday.
"Let’s cut the political theatrics for a moment, can you phone Fang Fang and ask what’s the deal with this balloon!" responded former congressional candidate John Matland.
SUSPECTED CHINESE SPY BALLOON COULD END UP OVER THE CAROLINAS LATER THIS WEEKEND IF BIDEN FAILS TO TAKE ACTION
Clyde said in the video that the firearm was a pin and said he would continue giving them out despite the alleged backlash.
"I hear that this little pin I have been giving out on the House floor has been triggering some of my Democrat colleagues. Well, I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is to preserving our liberties," Clyde said in the video.
He added: "If I missed you on the House floor, please stop by my office in the Canon building. I have plenty more to give out."
MCCARTHY CONFIRMS SCHIFF, SWALWELL, OMAR WILL LOSE COMMITTEE SEATS
The California representative has been in the hot seat since House Speaker Kevin McCarthy decided to block him from a position on the House Intelligence Committee, claiming that he "openly lied" about Russian election interference.
Swalwell called McCarthy's decision "political vengeance" enacted after Republicans were elected to the majority in the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.
McCarthy recently doubled down on his decisions, saying: "Swalwell can’t get a security clearance in the private sector. I’m not going to give him a government security clearance." | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/eric-swalwell-roasted-on-social-media-after-asking-why-gop-colleagues-gun-is-so-small/article_4d0409f3-8091-5769-a2e2-6ee59067f25c.html | 2023-02-05 00:35:22 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/eric-swalwell-roasted-on-social-media-after-asking-why-gop-colleagues-gun-is-so-small/article_4d0409f3-8091-5769-a2e2-6ee59067f25c.html |
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Senator Angus King visited Northern Maine Community College on Tuesday to discuss the College's strategy to employ Congressional Direct Spending funds to support the Aroostook County workforce. The meeting took place in NMCC's CNC machining lab, showcasing a program the College developed in 2002 using $850,000 in congressional earmark funds. As of 2022, NMCC's machining program has trained 400 skilled machinists, generating over $20M in value for the Maine economy.
"This lab highlights the impact of past congressional spending," stated NMCC President Timothy Crowley. "When we developed this program 20 years ago, employers in the region couldn't find trained machinists, and we rose to that challenge. Today we face a different set of challenges. I think we're uniquely positioned to make an impact."
Leah Buck, NMCC's assistant dean of continuing education, updated Senator King on the status of the College's mechanized logging operations program, occurring for its 6th year and located this summer northeast of Old Town. A $1,000,000 Congressionally Directed Spending project was recently announced to support the expansion of the mechanized logging program and enhance the training. The funds also create an opportunity for loggers to participate in the College's Commercial Driving Academy.
The funds allow two additional cohorts of students to participate in both the logger training program and the CDL training over the next two years. "There are shortages of skilled and credentialed workers for both logging operators and CDL drivers, impacting Maine's economy and our ability to move materials. We have successful short-term training programs that can quickly help people move into good-paying careers in the in the forest products industry," stated Buck.
President Crowley outlined the roadmap for doubling the capacity of the College's electrical program, expanding from 20 to 40 available spots for students. This expansion was made possible by 2022 congressional funding backed by Senator King. During the discussion, Senator King shared his own insights and anecdotes about the high demand for both electricians and logging professionals in Maine.
The group discussed the College's partnership with Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) to begin a training facility and curriculum to prepare wind technicians to work on offshore wind turbines. The College's joint application with MMA for $2.1M in congressional funds to support this effort – which has been advanced for approval by Senator King's office and could be distributed in 2023 if approved – calls attention to the 156 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity in the Gulf of Maine, recognizing the gulf's wind as one of the best natural resources in the world.
The offshore wind funding would come in the wake of recent federal funding for alternative energy through the Inflation Reduction Act, and build upon advancements in offshore technology developed by the University of Maine's Alfond W2 Ocean Engineering Lab. UMaine's patented Volturnus technology allows offshore wind turbines to float rather than being moored to the ocean floor. This advancement allows wind farms to exist further offshore than previous wind projects and distinguishes Maine strategically from other states advancing offshore wind projects.
At the conclusion of the meeting Senator King took questions from the group and gave a brief interview to a WAGM news reporter on the scene. "I've missed Aroostook County because of the pandemic," Senator King said. "Being here at the community college is a big deal because they're right in the middle of workforce training, which is one of our huge needs in Maine, and they're doing a great job."

FLINT, MI – A 16-month-old boy whose body was found in a Montrose Township ditch in August 2022 had methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death, according to officials.
Data from an autopsy of Chaos Demilo, whose lifeless body was found Aug. 25 in a ditch in the 9400 block of North Morrish Road, indicated the presence of the substance in the child’s system at the time of his death, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton confirmed to MLive-The Flint Journal Friday, Jan. 6.
Further examination is needed to determine how the substance got into the boy’s system.
Chaos’ body was found by someone living in the North Morris Road area who then called the police. Officers responded to the scene and found the boy’s remains.
The child had a skull fracture, and his initial cause of death was listed as blunt force trauma, officials said.
Shortly after, a memorial was established at the site of where the boy’s body was left. A cross with the words, “RIP Little Man,” was surrounded by toy cars, stuffed animals, balloons, and flowers.
The boy’s father, 40-year-old Michael Christopher Butler, was arrested the day after his son’s body was found.
He is lodged at the Genesee County Jail without bond on single counts of felony murder, first-degree child abuse, concealing the death of an individual, and aggravated domestic violence.
Butler’s attorney, Dave Clark, said Friday that a more specific form of toxicology is being done to investigate the substance found in Chaos’ body.
Butler is also charged in a separate case with possession of methamphetamine.
Prior to his death, Demilo was living in deplorable conditions, Leyton said previously. Dating back to June, the family was essentially homeless, living in abandoned homes in the area and occasionally staying in shelters.
The circumstances leading up to the child’s death remain unclear, but Leyton said the child was placed in his father’s custody despite a petition from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which asked that the child not be placed in Butler’s custody.

Good morning!
Here’s a look at some of the stories we’ll be following today as they make headlines across Southwest Virginia:
- There is a grand opening for the first Center of Specialty Care in our region for people with dizziness and imbalance. They will have access to a diagnostic test to uncover what is causing these symptoms so they can get treatment faster. This new center was made possible through a partnership between Roanoke Valley Speech and Hearing Center and the American Institute of Balance. The ribbon-cutting is a 10:00 a.m. at 2030 Colonial Avenue SW.
- The Sinkland’s Sunflower Festival kicks off at Noon. You can enjoy fields of sunflowers at Sinkland Farms. They will be open until July 24, Fridays through Sundays.
- 12p-8p Friday’s
- 10a-8p Saturday’s
- 10a-8p Sunday’s
- Franks + Dranks returns for a night of music, food and fun in the Art Garden. In celebration of educators, all teachers with ID will get a complimentary drink ticket. Tickets are $20 for general admission and are on sale now at Piedmont Arts and piedmontarts.org. The event is from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Gravely-Lester Art Garden.
- The 34th annual Salem Fair will kick off at the Salem Civic Center Taliaferro Complex. It’s America’s largest free gate fair and attracts 250,000 to 350,000 people each year. It’s happening from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the weekdays and from Noon to 11:00 p.m. on the weekend. You have until July 10 to enjoy 14 acres of over 40 rides.
- Route 760, Diuguids Lane, in Roanoke County will be closed to through traffic for approximately 45 days. This closure is to replace the bridge over the Roanoke River which is located at the Salem city limits near the intersection of Route 760 and Route 639 West Riverside Drive. For most of the 45-day-closure, traffic can detour using West Riverside Drive and Mill Lane. However, there will be a couple of three-day periods when a large crane will be in use closing the Route 760 and Route 639 intersection. On those days, drivers will need to use Creekside Drive and Lilly Drive to detour. The bridge replacement is expected to be completed in the Fall.

Comparing the Roomba 675 and 694
Comparing the Roomba 675 with the Roomba 694 is a matchup of two entry-level robot vacuums with similar features and capabilities. Released in 2020, the Roomba 694 is a Wi-Fi-enabled non-mapping robot vacuum available from iRobot directly and from various retailers. The Roomba 675 is an older model from 2018 sold primarily in big-box stores and online. It isn’t available in new condition from iRobot, but can still be found new-in-box at some major retailers.
The BestReviews Testing Lab evaluated the Roomba 694 in areas such as suction, navigation and filtration and determined that it edges out the older Roomba 675 in most tests and measurements — but not by a lot. Unless a new-in-the-box 675 is available at a hefty discount, shoppers looking for a basic robot vacuum should go for the Roomba 694.
Roomba 675 vs. 694 specs
As 600-series Roombas, the Roomba 675 and 694 share many of the same specifications. The only specs in which they differ is the size of their dustbins and weight.
Roomba 675 specs
Product specifications
Battery life: 90 minutes | Dimensions: 13.4″ L x 13.4″ W x 3.54″ H | Dustbin capacity: 0.3 L | Weight: 7.59 lb | Navigation software: iAdapt 1.0 | Mapping: No | Self-emptying: No | Object avoidance: No | Scheduling: Yes | Selective room cleaning: No | Warranty: 1-year limited
The Roomba 675 measures roughly 13.5 inches across and just over 3.5 inches tall, similar to almost all Roombas ever made. It weighs about 7.5 pounds, heavier than the Roomba 694 and about on par with the Roomba i-series vacuums. It navigates with iRobot’s basic adaptive or bump-and-clean methodology, without mapping or object avoidance. The Roomba 675 can connect to Wi-Fi and the iRobot Home app, which allows for scheduling and voice control. When new, it had a one-year limited warranty.
Roomba 694 specs
Product specifications
Battery life: 90 minutes (75 in testing) | Dimensions: 13.4” L x 13.4” W x 3.54” H | Dustbin capacity: 0.35 L | Weight: 6.77 lb | Navigation software: iAdapt 1.0 | Mapping: No | Self-emptying: No | Object avoidance: No | Scheduling: Yes | Selective room cleaning: No | Warranty: 1-year limited
The Roomba 694 has the same shape and dimensions as the Roomba 675, 13.4 inches across and 3.5 inches tall, but it’s a little lighter at less than 7 pounds. Its dustbin is slightly larger, 0.35 liters compared to 0.3 liters. The Roomba 694 is also a bump-and-clean robot without mapping or object avoidance, but like the Roomba 675, it supports scheduling and voice assistants via the iRobot Home app and Wi-Fi. It has a one-year limited warranty.
Suction comparison
Neither the Roomba 675 nor the 694 have powerful suction. iRobot doesn’t make suction power ratings easily available, but its 600-series robot vacuums form the baseline against which its more powerful models are measured. Roombas, in general, rely on their three-stage cleaning system to remove dirt and debris. Two rollers pick up dirt and debris from floors and carpets and direct them into the suction path to the dustbin, while a spinning side brush collects dirt from corners or edges into the rollers.
The Roomba 694 performed adequately in our hands-on testing. It removed coffee grounds from medium-pile carpet and table salt from hardwood with little residue but struggled to grab hold of dry rice. Its side brush scattered loose debris, including breakfast cereal, out of its cleaning path, and it required multiple passes on both carpet and hard flooring to do the best job possible with all test materials. When it came to pet fur, the Roomba 694 showed little trouble on either carpet or hard flooring, but left visible hairs on low-pile rugs. It left some grit behind when vacuuming cat litter off of hard flooring.
The Roomba 675 has an extremely similar design to the 694, but it has been observed to do slightly worse in head-to-head comparisons. This is despite having the same roller design, the same suction, the same wheels and the same side brush as the 694. The difference, however, appears arguable.
Design comparison
The design of the Roomba 675 and 694 are similar except for two important differences. First, the Roomba 675 sports a flip-up carrying handle, allowing a user to easily carry the robot one-handed from room to room. The Roomba 694 lacks a handle or similar feature.
Second, the Roomba 694 has a bigger dustbin, 0.35 liters compared to 0.3 liters. The extra 50 milliliters is not much, but may allow a user to push emptying their 694 to another day rather than emptying it after every job, although we recommend you do so to ensure it won’t stop in the middle of a job.
Both vacuums are sturdily designed, with heavy drive wheels and a durable gray-and-black plastic body. However, their glossy finishes can attract fingerprints, and their bumpers tend to collect cosmetic scuffs.
Navigation comparison
Both the Roomba 675 and Roomba 694 use adaptive or bump-and-clean navigation. They follow a semi-random cleaning path and edge around furniture or corners until they bump into something that blocks their way forward. This makes them change to a new semi-random direction.
Bump-and-clean navigation has proven to be effective at keeping an area clean, as long as a robot vacuum is run frequently. In any single cleaning job, however, robot vacuums with this kind of navigation may miss long stretches of flooring while going over other spots again and again. We observed our Roomba 694 test unit repeating the same maneuvers around a table and chairs several times while ignoring an open patch nearby. This can be very frustrating to watch.
The Roomba 694 does not have mapping, nor does the Roomba 675. They can’t keep track of or remember the layout of your home. They have no real obstacle avoidance either. The Roomba 694 pushed along a child’s toy during testing and repeatedly bumped into the legs of our testers. To its credit, the Roomba 694 had no trouble negotiating transitions from hard flooring to carpet or vice versa and only had slight difficulty with the curled edges of a rug. As the Roomba 675 has the same navigation intelligence, wheels and sensors, it should perform similarly as well.
Filtration comparison
The Roomba 675 and Roomba 694 use iRobot’s AeroVac filters in their dustbins. These mesh filters are intended to catch particles in the vacuum’s path and prevent them from escaping back into the air. The Roomba 675 and 694 use the same size filter as all 600 series Roombas. These filters are not HEPA-type or high-performance filters and do not prevent small particulates less than 0.5 microns from escaping, which is less than ideal for allergy sufferers.
Features and cleaning modes
The Roomba 675 did away with separate “low” and “high” cleaning modes, instead using sensors and intelligence to increase suction on carpet or high-dirt areas. This feature has been carried over to subsequent models including the Roomba 694.
Both the Roomba 675 and 694, like most other Roombas, have a spot-clean mode, activated with the “Spot” button on their top plate. In spot-cleaning mode, a Roomba 675 or Rooma 694 placed on top of localized dirt will spiral outward up to 3 feet, negotiating any obstacles in the area, and then spiral back inward while removing the debris.
The Roomba 675 was notable among entry-level robot vacuums for skipping a handheld remote in favor of Wi-Fi connectivity and app control, a capability also found in the Roomba 694. Wi-Fi connections let the Roomba 675 communicate with the iRobot Home app, allowing for remote activation, status monitoring and scheduling, the same as the Roomba 694.
Both the Roomba 675 and 694 run on a rechargeable 1,800 mAH lithium-ion battery rated for 90 minutes of run time. In our testing we got only 75 minutes from the 694 before it returned to its Home Base charging dock, but this may have been a result of its work in a carpeted apartment rather than on bare floors. Both models recharge in two to three hours; our Roomba 694 test unit declared itself ready to go after two hours.
While Wi-Fi and app control is nice, you can just as easily control Roombas like the 675 or 694 by picking them up, putting them down and pressing “Clean.” This is ideal for people who simply want appliances to work without fussing with apps or options.
Cleaning and maintenance
Maintenance and cleaning are similar between the Roomba 675 and Roomba 694. Both have dustbins that require frequent emptying and can be removed by a simple button on top of their chassis. However, the Roomba 675’s 0.3-liter dustbin should not be rinsed in water, while the Roomba 694’s can.
Both models have a bristle brush roller that should be checked regularly for tangled pet fur, thread and human hair. Both the brush roller and the rubber beater brush are easy to remove from the roller assemblies under the units. Both units should be checked for debris in their roller compartments, around their wheel axles and in their internal vacuum paths, and their sensors and charging contacts should be wiped with a dry cloth every week or so to ensure it performs well.
Price
The Roomba 675 is no longer sold new by iRobot. New-in-the-box models can still be found at brick-and-mortar Target stores or online via Walmart and Best Buy. The Roomba 675 had a list price of $279.99, but prices for new-in-the-box and refurbished models range from $150 to $200.
The Roomba 694 is available directly from iRobot at a list price of $274.99, although it is often discounted below $250 or even $200.
Bottom line
The Roomba 675 helped popularize features such as Wi-Fi and smart control in iRobot’s entry-level robot vacuums, like the Roomba 694. However, it seems that iRobot is no longer actively manufacturing the 675, while the Roomba 694 is still readily available. This, combined with the Roomba 694’s somewhat better results in cleaning and performance tests, makes the Roomba 694 the winner of this matchup.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden said Tuesday that the consequences for women of losing the constitutional right to an abortion “go far beyond the right to choose” as she hosted a conversation with four women, including a Texas doctor, who shared emotional stories of being denied necessary reproductive care.
The first lady invited the women from Texas, Florida and Louisiana to the White House to help highlight the anniversary Saturday of the Supreme Court decision overturning its 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to an abortion.
The ruling last June left it up to individual states to set their own abortion policies, and 18 of them — including the home states of Biden’s guests — have put abortion bans in place.
“The consequences of these bans go far beyond the right to choose,” the first lady told the women, as she detailed examples of women being denied access to medication or are being forced to go to other states for care. And some doctors, she added, are withholding treatment “because they don’t know which procedures are legal.”
“And like those who are with us today, far, far too many women are experiencing devastating consequences to their health, their fertility and their lives,” said Biden, who came of age when abortion was illegal before it was became the law of the land in 1973.
One of the women in conversation, Anya Cook of Florida, told the group that a 15-week abortion ban that was in effect in her state last year “very, nearly killed me.”
She had suffered multiple miscarriages, but was on her 18th pregnancy when her water broke early, at 16 weeks. Doctors said her baby wouldn’t survive without amniotic fluid and would die within days.
“Because she was beyond 15 weeks and there was still a heartbeat, they couldn’t touch me or treat me or admit me,” Cook said. “They sent us home to deal with it ourselves.”
She said she became convinced that she wouldn’t survive and went to a “really dark place.” Within days, her daughter was stillborn in the bathroom of a beauty salon. She had lost half the blood in her body, was weak and underwent multiple follow-up surgeries that left her fertility in doubt.
“We don’t know if I can get pregnant now or carry to birth, but the target of our wrath is very well-known: It’s the people who have taken our human rights to health and liberty and personal autonomy,” Cook said. “Someone needs to fight back against these insidious laws in states across the country.”
Dr. Austin Dennard, an OB-GYN in Dallas, decided to have an abortion after an ultrasound showed that her fetus’ brain and skull had not developed. She had to end an earlier pregnancy by an abortion she obtained in Texas, but “this time I would have to flee my own state,” she said.
Dennard worried that the trip for an out-of-state abortion could jeopardize her medical license or invite harassment against herself and her husband, also an obstetrician-gynecologist.
She recently joined a lawsuit filed by other Texas women who were denied abortions, despite pregnancies that they say endangered their health or lives. The women are asking the court to put an emergency hold on some abortion restrictions.
“The state of Texas should not be making these decisions for me, let alone anybody else,” Dennard said at the White House.
Jill Biden said her husband, President Joe Biden, “is doing everything he can to fight back” but that he needs Congress to send him legislation that will “make the protections of Roe v. Wade the law of the land once again.”
Meanwhile, Democrats and the White House see the rollback of abortion rights as an issue that will play in their favor in the 2024 elections.
“I know that it isn’t easy to relive what you’ve already gone through, but stories like yours are how we shed light on the cruel and devastating consequences of those bans,” she told the women.
The first lady’s event is among several events the administration is planning this week to mark one year after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The president, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the administration’s point-person on the issue, the first lady and Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, are slated to appear at event on Friday in Washington with several women’s and pro-choice groups.
Harris is also scheduled to deliver what the White House says will be a major speech on Saturday in North Carolina on the Biden administration’s efforts to safeguard reproductive freedom.
The Republican-controlled General Assembly in North Carolina recently overturned Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of legislation banning abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The law is set to go into effect on July 1, and is being challenged in federal court by abortion providers in the state. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/jill-biden-consequences-of-overturning-roe-v-wade-go-far-beyond-the-right-to-choose/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-06-20 23:16:57 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/jill-biden-consequences-of-overturning-roe-v-wade-go-far-beyond-the-right-to-choose/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
The 2023 model year cars keep rolling into dealer lots, albeit in limited supply, and the most visited review we posted this week was the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. A perennial Best SUV To Buy at The Car Connection, the Grand Cherokee has minor changes limited mostly to the 4xe plug-in hybrid model after last year’s redesign. We finally found some seat time in the 2022 Model S, and it once again impressed, in Plaid or otherwise.
Here’s what else moved us this week.
Plaid or not, the Model S offers incredible acceleration and impressive technology, but the steering yoke is a letdown. It earns a TCC Rating of 8.2 out of 10.
The BMW i4 fits an electric powertrain into a 4-Series Gran Coupe body to earn a TCC Rating of 7.8 out of 10.
The five-seat crossover SUV is mildly engaging to drive, has good standard features, and it’s the most attractive of Buick’s three remaining vehicles. It lacks the efficient powertrain options of competitors which limits its TCC Rating to 7.0 out of 10.
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee review
The legendary SUV with seats for five or seven passengers carries more tech and a higher price this year, as well as a TCC Rating of 6.8 out of 10.
Cadillac’s smallest crossover has good acceleration and a comfortable ride that overshadows a dull interior design to earn a TCC Rating of 6.2 out of 10.
The compact crossover rides well and has a good standard feature set, but it doesn’t measure up to true luxury. It earns a TCC Rating of 6.0 out of 10.
The 2023 Cadillac CT4 compact luxury sedan sports an impressive lineup and a TCC Rating of 5.6 out of 10 that would be higher based solely on the CT4-V and Blackwing models. | https://www.ksn.com/automotive/2023-jeep-grand-cherokee-2022-tesla-model-s-top-this-weeks-new-car-reviews/ | 2022-08-09 00:49:56 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/automotive/2023-jeep-grand-cherokee-2022-tesla-model-s-top-this-weeks-new-car-reviews/ |

The Chicago Cubs returned to Wrigley Field on Thursday on the heels of a 5-1 West Coast trip, looking very much like a team determined to prove its hot start is not a fluke.
But they flopped in their first game home, losing 6-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on James Outman’s ninth-inning grand slam off closer Michael Fulmer.
While it’s easy for fans to get excited about the 11-7 record, how many games will it take for President Jed Hoyer to feel this is who the Cubs really are?
“One (hundred) forty,” Hoyer said with a laugh.
That would be another 122 games, or well into the playoff race in September. By that point the Bears will be back and hogging the spotlight again, as happens in Chicago even if one or both of the baseball teams are contenders.
When Hoyer turned serious, he said the thing that encouraged him most about the start was the fact the team believes in itself and comes into each game prepared to win.
“They come in every day prepared, they’re talking about baseball all the time, there’s real intensity there all the time,” Hoyer said. “The effort level to me I know isn’t going to wane, and that part I’m really excited about.”
Hoyer knows it’s early. He pointed to Jameson Taillon’s groin injury as a potential test of their rotation depth and knows other injuries will crop up over the season. But he likes the “clubhouse culture,” which consists of several players who have experienced a championship season.
“We have a lot of guys on this team that just love playing,” center fielder Cody Bellinger said. “And we’re just a team full of really good baseball players. And it’s shown.”
Bellinger homered and was hit by a pitch twice in the loss. The Cubs entered Thursday’s game with five games scoring 10 runs or more in their first 17, the third time that’s happened since 1901. The offense was second in the majors with a .286 average while the 3.24 ERA was fifth-best.
It’s not a long enough stretch to make any statements, but after the sub-.500 seasons in 2021 and ‘22, the start has fans clicking their heels.
What kind of response has Hoyer gotten from fans?
“Total anonymity in the burbs,” he said, referring to his move last year from the North Side to the North Shore.
No one apparently recognizes him in Starbucks like his predecessor, Theo Epstein. But they still can find his email address.
“Obviously it’s gratifying to start out this way,” Hoyer said. “Hope we can keep it rolling, but the effort is going to be there, and I think the team is playing like we hoped.”
The opening of the seven-game homestand was delayed 64 minutes by the threat of storms, but it turned out to be a nice night on the North Side. Before the game, former Cub Jason Heyward held court with Chicago writers for nearly 45 minutes, expressing loyalty to his new team while showing an appreciation for his seven seasons with the Cubs.
Bellinger was called for a violation on Friday in Los Angeles when he took too long to get into the box while getting a standing ovation from Dodgers fans. Reporters tried to convince Heyward to take his time getting in the box if he got in to get his own pitch-clock violation and start 0-1.
Heyward politely declined.
“You can call in (to MLB) and let everyone know there may be an ovation,” he said.
Heyward wasn’t in the starting lineup but walked in the ninth before Outman’s go-ahead grand slam. Heyward was announced to the crowd before the opening pitch and received a loud ovation but heard both boos and cheers when he came to the plate. He joined a long line of former members of the 2016 Cubs, including Jon Lester, Kyle Schwarber and Kris Bryant, who were treated royally upon their return as opposing players. Heyward joked that Anthony Rizzo or Javier Baez could soak up the adulation when they return and get two violations.
The only member of the 2016 Cubs who was booed during his return was catcher Miguel Montero in 2017. “I really don’t care,” Montero said afterward. “They cheered a lot of big hits when I was here, and whether they hate me or love me, they’re going to remember me forever.”
The same can be said of Heyward, one of the last players left from that team until being released after the 2022 season. He still calls Chicago home and opened the Jason Heyward Baseball Academy in February in North Austin to help kids develop their skills and to make an impact the community.
Kyle Hendricks is the last player standing from the 2016 Cubs, which seems hard to believe considering how beloved that team is in Chicago. Heyward said it’s not strange at all.
“My first three years in the big leagues we had really good teams (in Atlanta) and they kind of dismantled that,” he said. “So it’s part of the game, the business side of things, and time happens. That’s why I wanted to sign with the Cubs (in 2016). I knew I was going to be with a group for at least five or six years, and see where that put us. We made some history here together, did a lot of special things.”
The 2023 Cubs hope to make the same kind of history with a different cast of characters, and, of course, Hendricks and manager David Ross. It’s too early to say whether this group can continue the success of the first 17 games, but Bellinger believes they have the right stuff.
“It’s just the feel,” Bellinger said. “I’ve been on a few. Whether we’re down or up, it’s always ‘waiting for our time.’ I think that’s what it takes.”

New integration allows vendors to proactively share security information from Whistic directly on G2
SALT LAKE CITY, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Whistic, a leading third-party risk management solution and vendor security network for software buyers and sellers, announced today a partnership with G2, the world's largest and most trusted software marketplace. This strategic partnership enables software vendors to build trust by transparently sharing their security and compliance information with prospective buyers on G2, making it easier for buyers to discover vendors who meet their security requirements.
According to the 2023 G2 Software Buyer Behavior Report, 86% of buyers require a security assessment prior to purchase. Assessing security risk has traditionally required customers to exchange detailed questionnaires with vendors, resulting in delays and back-and-forth that slow the sales and procurement process by weeks or months. Whistic Profile enables vendors to consolidate their security documentation into a shareable Trust Center, which can now be easily published directly to a G2 product page through the announced integration.
"There is a significant shift happening globally as companies are recognizing the tremendous benefits of building trust proactively with their prospective buyers through security transparency," says Sunil D'Souza, Vice President of Partnerships and Business Development at Whistic. "We're thrilled to further enable this shift as we partner with G2 to empower the thousands of vendors in the Whistic Network to publish their Whistic Profile to G2 and to extend this benefit to G2 sellers who haven't yet created their Whistic Profile."
G2 and Whistic enable all vendors in the Whistic Network—on free and paid profiles—to display access to security qualifications on their G2 Profile. G2 customers who haven't yet created or claimed ownership of their Whistic Profile will also be able to take advantage of this integration once they've built their free profile. Companies who leverage the integration will have a "Whistic-Ready" badge displayed directly on their G2 product pages, making it easier for buyers to identify solutions that meet their security requirements early in the purchasing process.
"Recognizing the increasingly critical role of security in the software buying process, this partnership with Whistic gives the millions of buyers visiting G2 every month even greater visibility into security and compliance information of the products and services they're researching—helping them make more informed purchasing decisions," adds Rachel Bentley, Senior Director of Product Management at G2. "By embracing this new offering, all software vendors now have an opportunity to provide transparency in the buying process with relevant security information accessible at a glance on their G2 product Profiles."
