Police: Vehicle strikes teens riding stolen horses; 1 killed, 2 injured DALLAS (AP) — A 14-year-old on horseback was killed and two other teens were injured early Tuesday in Dallas in a collision between a vehicle and the group of teens, who were riding stolen horses, police said. The two riders who were injured — a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old — were hospitalized in stable condition after the 5:30 a.m. crash, police said. Police said no charges are expected for the driver of the vehicle, who remained at the scene. One horse died at the scene, another was euthanized at the scene by a veterinarian and the third horse was injured but expected to survive, according to police. The crash occurred in an area about 7 miles south of downtown along Great Trinity Forest Way, a highway that crosses Interstate 45. Much of the area around Great Trinity Forest Way east of Interstate 45 is forested. Police said the investigation into the crash is ongoing and more information will be released when it becomes available. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Live stream: fuboTV (free trial) DirecTV Stream (free trial) A season preview, courtesy of the Associated Press: Bobby Hurley knows what’s coming. At some point in the months ahead, one of his Arizona State players will walk into his office with surprising news. “There’s a guy on my team right now that mostly likely is going to transfer that I won’t even think that he’s going to transfer,” the coach said. Just like that, it will be time to rework roster plans and search for a potential replacement. And that scenario is playing out across college basketball in the transfer portal era, illustrating how roster management has become a major challenge for coaches facing abrupt — and sometimes drastic — changes in a wild world of free agency. “Coaches love to control things … control offense, control defense, control everything in your program so it doesn’t go haywire,” said coach Scott Drew of fifth-ranked Baylor. “And roster management is the hardest thing to control because you never know from one year to the next who will transfer, who will turn pro. “It used to be most college (teams) were dealing with three, four new players a year,” Drew added. “Now more and more are dealing with six, seven, eight new players.” The days are gone of confidently projecting how a team will look after a few years of players developing together. Instead, it’s a guess now that players can freely move to chase minutes or endorsement opportunities elsewhere — especially if they have an extra year of eligibility because of the pandemic. That has created a new coaching routine: spend the season essentially re-recruiting your own players to stay, then dive into the portal afterward to fill inevitable new roster holes. “It’s more work intensive than ever in the spring,” said Hurley, who has four transfers and two scholarship freshmen as the season begins. “Even as your season’s winding down, you’re constantly communicating with your own players, trying to get a feel for where they are, what they might do or not do. “And so that would give me an idea of what our roster could potentially look like based on what everybody’s going to decide to do here first. ... Then the conversations begin in terms of trying to retool your roster.” The October 2018 launch of the portal allowed athletes to declare transfer plans and for schools to contact them. But the NCAA’s move in April 2021 to grant athletes a one-time transfer without sitting out a year amounted to seismic change. In its most recent data, the NCAA reported that 1,480 men’s basketball athletes in Division I entered their names in the portal from March to July 2021 as the rule was discussed and enacted, up from 810 for that range a year earlier. And 1,138 players — 769 undergraduates and 369 graduates – ultimately transferred during the 2020-21 sports season compared with 713 the previous year. That would be the equivalent to nearly a quarter of scholarships (more than 4,700) available for 363 teams in Division I. And that accounts for only the first few months of what is now a full-on portal rush that has left coaches scrambling. “You have to be in a position to pivot, alter and change,” said Hubert Davis at top-ranked North Carolina, which reached last year’s NCAA championship game. Jon Scheyer, preparing for his debut season at seventh-ranked Duke, put it bluntly: “You do have to plan for chaos.” At minimum, coaches face tougher decisions for building a roster for the season ahead, much less trying to map out years beyond. “It’s a headache,” said Miami coach Jim Larranaga, fresh off the program’s first run to the NCAA Elite Eight. “Right now we have four seniors. I’d love to replace four seniors with four kids in high school. But that will make us so young next year that we can’t compete against the older and more experienced teams. So it’s a constant balancing. It’s like a seesaw.” The challenge begins with determining how to use a program’s annual allotment of 13 scholarships. For many coaches, there’s little benefit to using them all, starting with the odds that players seeing little action will bolt. “Are 13 guys going to play? No. So then who’s going to be unhappy?” Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes said. “Back in the days when I started, I redshirted guys. You say redshirt to somebody now, they think you’ve lost your mind.” Scheyer — who is taking over for retired Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski — would prefer to hold back at least one scholarship annually to react to the unexpected. “We want to be careful not to over-recruit to get where we have 13 scholarships,” said Scheyer, whose first team has two power-conference transfers among 11 new players. “Things happen late now so you want to make sure you have wiggle room and flexibility. That can be hard to predict.” Hall of Famer Tom Izzo at Michigan State has noticed lower scholarship numbers across the sport — even with his own team having 10 recruited players this season. “Why do a lot of schools have 11, 12, 10 guys on scholarship? Because they’re holding off for this, they’re holding off for that,” Izzo said. “Or they know they can’t keep 13 happy anymore. So there are kids that are not getting a scholarship in high school because everybody’s just going with the transfer. There’s some unintended consequences with this whole thing.” Yet even as Izzo expressed qualms about the portal’s impact, he also was quick to say coaches “have to do what they have to do” in a time of quicker firings. He also said “I’m good” with however coaches adapt. It was a reminder that change is here, and coaches can do little other than be ready for anything. “You’ve got to do the best you can,” Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner said. “I know that sounds kindergarten-ish. … You can’t be negative about it or complain about it. You’ve just got to accept: this is the deal, this is the climate we’re in, this is the landscape.” (The Associated Press contributed to this report) Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.

WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — A bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks seems stalled, with no vote scheduled before the U.S. House of Representatives goes on break. With no vote Friday, the bill can’t be considered until after the November election. Bill sponsor U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Twitter Friday, accusing her of sabotaging the effort. “Her characterization is not accurate,” Pelosi said in her weekly press conference. “This is the legislative process. … I said to them … whatever the members want to do, I fully support.” She said calls for reform were not ignored but that Spanberger’s bill did not have the votes needed to pass. “There are others who have spoken out against it, the bill,” she said. Some Republicans shared Spanberger’s frustrations. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., called Pelosi’s inaction “pathetic” and Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., said he couldn’t agree more with Spanberger’s complaints. Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., said reforms are needed to drive out corruption. “As long as members of Congress are not only trading stocks, but consistently outperforming the market, there’s a lot of stink on that rose,” he said. He said a long-term solution may need to include higher pay for lawmakers. “If we don’t deal with this in the context of member pay, we are going to become ever more an institution that is only available to people who are independently wealthy before they got here,” he said.

(NEXSTAR) – Americans looking to get a booster shot against the coronavirus this fall don’t just have one new option – they’ve got two. Both Moderna and Pfizer have a new FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine, specially formulated to ward off the omicron variant of the virus. Both vaccines are bivalent, meaning they contain parts of the original COVID-19 strain and the omicron strain that’s grown dominant in 2022. Both companies’ new shots are very similar. Here’s what you need to know if you’re trying to choose between the two. Who is eligible for each type of booster? This is the key difference between Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent booster: Moderna’s is authorized for adults, 18 and over, while Pfizer’s is cleared for anyone 12 and older, per the Food and Drug Administration. Both boosters are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at least two months after your last dose. Is there anything different about the makeup of the Pfizer and Moderna shots? Both bivalent boosters are mRNA shots, created much like the original vaccines released nearly two years ago. They also both contain the original COVID-19 strain and the omicron strain, designed to give you maximum protection from the variants circulating now. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech say their new booster contains 15 micrograms each of encoding for the spike protein of the original COVID variant and of the BA.4/BA.5 subvariants of omicron. Moderna’s contains a bit more: 25 micrograms of each type. A single dose of Moderna’s booster comes out to 0.5 milliliters, while a single dose of Pfizer’s booster is 0.3 milliliters. Can you mix and match? Should you? Adults are allowed to mix and match brands, meaning even if you’ve gotten Pfizer all along, you can switch to Moderna now (and vice versa). People between 12 and 17 years old still have to stick with Pfizer for now. But just because you can mix and match, is there any benefit? When we asked Dr. Bob Wachter, chair of the University of California San Francisco’s medicine department, about the prospects of mixing and matching last year, he said switching things up probably wouldn’t greatly boost your immunity. However, if you had a bad reaction to one of the brands with a past dose, he said, you should talk to your doctor about switching vaccine types. Do Pfizer and Moderna have different side effects? It’s too early to have robust studies on whether these two brands of booster shots have different side effects from each other. However, evidence from both clinical trials shows the side effects of the bivalent shots are similar to the side effects of the last booster shot and the original vaccine. “Most often it’s redness at the site of inoculation, some soreness, feeling tired for a day or two afterwards — all the same side effects we’re seeing at relatively the same rates with the bivalent booster,” said Andrew Pekosz, a virologist with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in a recent media briefing. Other common side effects include headaches, fever, chills and nausea, according to the CDC.

The owner of the Wagner private military contractor made his most direct challenge to the Kremlin yet on Friday, calling for an armed rebellion aimed at ousting Russia’s defense minister. The security services reacted immediately by calling for the arrest of Yevgeny Prigozhin. In a sign of how seriously the Kremlin was taking the threat, security was heightened in Moscow and in Rostov-on-Don, which is home to the Russian military headquarters for the southern region and also oversees the fighting in Ukraine. While the outcome of the confrontation was still unclear, it appeared likely to further hinder Moscow’s war effort as Kyiv’s forces were probing Russian defenses in the initial stages of a counteroffensive. Prigozhin claimed early Saturday that his forces had crossed into Russia from Ukraine and had reached Rostov, saying they faced no resistance from young conscripts at checkpoints and that his forces “aren’t fighting against children.” “But we will destroy anyone who stands in our way,” he said in one of a series of angry video and audio recordings posted on social media beginning late Friday. “We are moving forward and will go until the end.” He claimed that the chief of the General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, scrambled warplanes to strike Wagner’s convoys, which were driving alongside ordinary vehicles. Prigozhin also said his forces shot down a Russian military helicopter that fired on a civilian convoy, but there was no independent confirmation. And despite Prigozhin’s statements that Wagner convoys had entered Rostov-on-Don, there was no confirmation of that yet on Russian social networks. Videos showed heavy trucks blocking highways leading to the city, long convoys of National Guard trucks were seen on a road outside Rostov-on-Don and armored vehicles were roaming the streets. Prigozhin said Wagner field camps in Ukraine were struck by rockets, helicopter gunships and artillery fire on orders from Gerasimov following a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at which they decided to destroy Wagner. The Wagner forces have played a crucial role in Russia’s war in Ukraine, succeeding in taking the city where the bloodiest and longest battles have taken place, Bakhmut. But Prigozhin has increasingly criticized Russia’s military brass, accusing it of incompetence and of starving his troops of weapons and ammunition. Prigozhin, who said he had 25,000 troops under his command, said late Friday his troops would punish Shoigu in an armed rebellion and urged the army not to offer resistance. “This is not a military coup, but a march of justice,” Prigozhin declared. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee, which is part of the Federal Security Services, or FSB, has charged him with calling for an armed rebellion, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. The FSB urged Wagner’s contract soldiers to arrest Prigozhin and refuse to follow his “criminal and treacherous orders.” It called his statements a “stab in the back to Russian troops” and said they amounted to fomenting an armed conflict in Russia. President Vladimir Putin has been informed about the situation and “all the necessary measures were being taken,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Heavy military trucks and armored vehicles were seen in several parts of central Moscow early Saturday, and soldiers toting assault rifles were deployed outside the main building of the Defense Ministry. The area around the presidential administration near Red Square was blocked, snarling traffic. But even amid the heightened military presence, downtown bars and restaurants were filled with customers. At one club near the headquarters of the FSB, people were dancing in the street near the entrance. Prigozhin, whose feud with the Defense Ministry dates back years, had refused to comply with a requirement that military contractors sign contracts with the ministry before July 1. In a statement late Friday, he said he was ready to find a compromise but “they have treacherously cheated us.” “Today they carried out a rocket strike on our rear camps, and a huge number of our comrades got killed,” he said. The Defense Ministry denied attacking the Wagner camps. Prigozhin claimed that Shoigu went to the Russian military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don personally to direct the strike and then “cowardly” fled. “This scum will be stopped,” he said of Shoigu. “The evil embodied by the country’s military leadership must be stopped,” he shouted, urging the army not to offer any resistance to Wagner as it moves to “restore justice.” Col. Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of the Russian group of forces fighting in Ukraine, urged the Wagner forces to stop any move against the army, saying it would play into the hands of Russia’s enemies, who are “waiting to see the exacerbation of our domestic political situation.” Tatiana Stanovaya, a political analyst, predicted this would be the end of Prigozhin. “Now that the state has actively engaged, there’s no turning back,” she tweeted. “The termination of Prigozhin and Wagner is imminent. The only possibility now is absolute obliteration, with the degree of resistance from the Wagner group being the only variable. Surovikin was dispatched to convince them to surrender. Confrontation seems totally futile.” Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alexeyev, a top military officer, denounced Prigozhin’s move as “madness” that threatened to unleash a civil war. “It’s a stab in the back to the country and the president,” he said. “It’s impossible to imagine a stronger blow to the image of Russia and its armed forces. Such a provocation could only be staged by enemies of Russia.” The Defense Ministry said in a statement that Ukraine’s military was concentrating troops to launch an attack around Bakhmut to take advantage of “Prigozhin’s provocation.” It said Russian artillery and warplanes were firing on Ukrainian forces as they prepared to start an offensive in the area. In Washington, a spokesman for the National Security Council, Adam Hodge, said: “We are monitoring the situation and will be consulting with allies and partners on these developments.” In other developments in the Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on other countries to heed warnings that Russia may be planning to attack an occupied nuclear power plant to cause a radiation disaster. Members of his government briefed international representatives on the possible threat to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, whose six reactors have been shut down for months. Zelenskyy said he expected other nations to “give appropriate signals and exert pressure” on Moscow. The Kremlin’s spokesman has denied the threat to the plant is coming from Russian forces. The potential for a life-threatening release of radiation has been a concern since Russian troops invaded Ukraine last year and seized the plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power station. The head of the U.N.’s atomic energy agency spent months trying to negotiate the establishment of a safety perimeter to protect the facility as nearby areas came under repeated shelling, but he has been unsuccessful. The International Atomic Energy Agency noted Thursday that “the military situation has become increasingly tense” while a Ukrainian counteroffensive that got underway this month unfolds in Zaporizhzhia province, where the namesake plant is located, and in an adjacent part of Donetsk province. Although the last of the plant’s six reactors was shut down last fall to reduce the risk of a meltdown, experts have warned that a radiation release could still happen if the system that keeps the reactors’ cores and spent nuclear fuel cool loses power or water. During months of fighting, Russia and Ukraine have traded blame over which side was increasing the threat to the plant. Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of mining the plant’s cooling system, already under threat from a dam collapse that drew down water in a reservoir used by the power station.

Don’t look up: Why some consider June's meteor showers to be invisible As the Northern Hemisphere enters its longest days, astronomical events are usually difficult to spot due to the maximum sunlight. The summer solstice will occur on June 21, after which days get shorter. During the upcoming weeks, several meteor showers will peak, but astronomers warned that because many events are happening in the daytime, North America could be shut out from seeing any spectacles in the sky. The Arietid meteor shower is expected to peak on June 7, zeta Perseid meteors will reach their height on June 10 and the always illusive June Bootids are expected to peak on June 27. Astronomers said if there is a chance to catch the best view, it is around dawn or dusk when there is a transition between the sun and the moon. NASA said a surprise outburst is possible but unlikely. WATCH OUT FOR THESE ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS IN 2023 Astronomical events during the early summer are notoriously difficult to spot due to North America being in the time of year when there is the most daylight. Cities around the country will see daylight hours peak around June 21 on the summer solstice. Before days start getting shorter, Chicago will see more than 15 hours and 31 minutes of sunlight, and Seattle’s longest day of the year comes in at about 16 hours. SONIC BOOM: HEAR THE SOUNDS OF A METEOR BREAKING UP OVER UTAH If you are a devoted stargazer, meteor showers in the latter half of the year could be more worthwhile. The Perseid meteor shower in mid-August and the Geminids in mid-December could be two of the bigger events due to the barrage of natural space debris and the lack of viewing interference from the sun and the moon. Astronomy experts said that due to the speed and composition of meteors, the space material vaporizes in the upper levels of the Earth’s atmosphere and does not pose a threat to viewers on the ground. Meteors showers usually lack large amounts of metallic and rocky materials needed to survive a trip through Earth's atmosphere. It is estimated that several hundred meteorites reach Earth’s surface every year, but less than a dozen are actually found.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers warned on Friday that backing down on interest rates as a means of controlling inflation could precipitate a 1970s-style economic crisis. “I think to suppose that some kind of relenting on an inflation target will be a salvation would be a costly error that would ultimately have adverse efforts, as it did in a spectacular way during the 1970s, for real economies and working people everywhere,” Summers said at a World Economic Forum panel in Davos, Switzerland. Many have drawn comparisons between the current economic situation and that of the ’70s, when the global economy faced a combination of high inflation and slow growth known as stagflation. Since the 1990s, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and other central financial institutions have sought to prevent runaway inflation, setting a target inflation rate of 2 percent. As inflation soared over the last year, reaching a 40-year U.S. high of 9.1 percent in June, the Federal Reserve and other central banks have raised interest rates in an effort to bring it back down to the 2 percent target. The Federal Reserve has begun to slow its interest rate hikes in recent months as inflation has steadily declined. In December, the U.S. inflation rate dropped to 6.2 percent, down from 7.3 percent in November but still abnormally high. Amid this reality, some have recently suggested that the Federal Reserve and other central banks revise their inflation targets upward slightly. However, Summers warned on Friday that this would be a “grave error.” “I say that as someone who was negative on the idea that the United States should put in place a specific numerical target,” Summers added. “It seems to me, though, that … having reemphasized repeatedly the absolute commitment to the 2 percent inflation target, to then abandon the 2 percent inflation target would do very substantial damage to credibility.” Summers also suggested that the rhetoric of “it’s not worth having a recession to reduce inflation” is mistaken. As the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates, some have warned of the potential for a recession. While interest rate hikes can help slow inflation, raising rates too quickly can also potentially tip the economy into a recession. “The counterfactual is not, ‘Can we have more inflation and not have a recession?’” Summers said. “The counterfactual is, ‘If we fail to deal with inflation, we are likely to have a larger and more serious recession at some subsequent point.’”

One bid was submitted in response to the city of Challis’s advertisements for bids to drill a new water well. O’Keefe Drilling, based in Butte, Montana, submitted a $188,120 bid, which was opened Jan. 17. One bid was submitted in response to the city of Challis’s advertisements for bids to drill a new water well. O’Keefe Drilling, based in Butte, Montana, submitted a $188,120 bid, which was opened Jan. 17. Mayor Corey Rice said engineer Colter Hollingshead with Keller Associates said the bid documents look good. Rice said he’ll seek approval to award the bid to O’Keefe at the Feb. 14 City Council meeting. The city has hired Keller Associates as its consulting engineer on the water system improvements project, as well as an ongoing evaluation of the city’s wastewater treatment system. Rice said three drilling firms picked up bid packets, but O’Keefe was the only company to submit a bid. While it’s always nice to get competitive bids, Rice said it doesn’t always happen. Rice and Hollingshead expected bids to be about $100,000 higher, so the mayor is pleased that some of the money that might have been dedicated to drilling a well can instead be used to pay for installing water lines from the well to pressure stations. Plans call for drilling a new water well just off Apex Avenue. A new booster station and transmission lines are part of the project. It’s possible a new water storage tank may be constructed. The mayor is hopeful that O’Keefe personnel will drill the well this spring and the water lines and booster station can be completed this summer. A timeline can’t be hammered out until a bid contract has been finalized. The project will result in more consistent water pressure within the city and smoother delivery of water, he said. “You know how you’re in the shower and all of sudden there’s no water,” Rice said. “That won’t happen any more. We’ll have a system that ramps pressure up and back down slowly so there won’t be those big drops.” Awarding a contract to O’Keefe requires approval from the City Council.

FARNBOROUGH, England (AP) — Maverick’s next wingman could be a drone. In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights. New technologies, though, are set to redefine what it means to be a “Top Gun," as algorithms, data and machines take on a bigger role in the cockpit — changes hinted at in “Top Gun: Maverick.” “A lot of people talk about, you know, the way of the future, possibly taking the pilot out of the aircraft," said 1st Lt. Walker Gall, an F-35 pilot with the U.S. 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England. “That’s definitely not something that any of us look forward to.” “I’d like to keep my job as long as possible, but I mean, it’s hard to argue with newer and newer technology," he said. “And if that’s the way of the future, that’s what it is. But I’m just here to enjoy it while I can.” The future for fighter pilots was on display this week at the Farnborough International Airshow near London, one of the world’s biggest aviation, defense and aerospace expos. Defense contractors outlined how artificial intelligence and other technologies will be used in the newest warplanes as global military delegations browsed mockups of missiles, drones and fighter jets. At stake are many billions of dollars as countries update military fleets or pump up defense procurement budgets amid rising geopolitical tensions. The original “Top Gun” movie released in 1986 follows Tom Cruise’s hot-shot Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, through fighter weapons training school. In the sequel, an aging Maverick, now a test pilot, learns the top secret hypersonic plane he's working on is being canceled so the funding can be used for a pilotless drone program. It's a debate that's been playing out for years in the real world. Drones have been used extensively in the war between Russia and Ukraine and other modern conflicts, raising the question of just how much need there is for human pilots to fly expensive fighter jets and other aircraft — or whether unmanned aerial vehicles could do the job. At the Farnborough show, experts said the future of air warfare is likely to be manned and unmanned aircraft working together. One day, fighter pilots will “have a drone aircraft that’s flying as a loyal wingman” under their control, said Jon Norman, a vice president at Raytheon Technologies Corp.'s missile and defense business. Norman, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot, said he used to complain about drones controlled from the ground that got in his way when he was flying fighter jets. The latest communications systems let fighters, drones and other aircraft talk to each other, he said. Technology has already removed the need for a second person to sit in the backseat to work the radar — a role portrayed in the original “Top Gun” movie by the character Goose. It will continue to play a bigger role in the cockpit, Raytheon executives said. Artificial intelligence will analyze reams of data from sensors placed on planes, drones, the ground or missiles flying through the air to give pilots in the sky and commanders back at headquarters a better sense of the battlefield. In future battles, AI might allow a pilot to send an armed drone close to an enemy position “and have them just fire at will,” Norman added. But it's too soon to write an epitaph for the pilot. “If we had had this conversation 20 years ago, almost everyone was certain that some (drones) would be serving in a combat aircraft replacement role. That simply hasn’t happened," said Richard Aboulafia, managing director at consultancy AeroDynamic Advisory. Nowadays, he said, drones mainly support manned military aircraft, which “allows them to get out there with a greater combat aircraft punch.” There was speculation that the F-35 fighter, which went into operation in 2015, would be the last manned fighter jet, said Gareth Jennings, aviation editor at defense intelligence provider Janes. “But no one says that anymore.” The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin Corp., is a stealthy fighter part of today's generation of warplanes. There is a next generation of fighter jets in the concept stages offering even more high-tech advances, including potentially pilotless versions, but they won't arrive before the next decade at the earliest. Gall, who recently graduated from fighter pilot training school, said the F-35 is easy to fly and that technology would likely make its successors even easier. But he stressed that the fighter pilot's role would remain intense. Even if that role isn't going away anytime soon, the Pentagon is working on transforming it. The Air Combat Evolution program, run by the Pentagon's DARPA research agency, is working on incorporating artificial intelligence into warfighting, including designing a plane that can fly itself in a dogfight. The program has already carried out a live simulation of air combat, pitting a virtual plane piloted by an AI agent against a human pilot. If all goes well, researchers plan to carry out a live dogfight with AI-enabled planes by 2024. Experts, though, are skeptical pilots will be eliminated from the cockpit in the near future. “I don’t think we’ll be at the stage of not needing fighter pilots for a few decades yet,” said Jennings, the aviation editor. “Unmanned technology and the public willingness to accept not having a human in the loop are just not there, and won’t be for at least another 30 years or so." ___ Videojournalist Cassandra Allwood contributed to this report. ___

Billy McKinney stepped up Friday night as the Yankees’ unlikely hero, using his bat and glove to help New York end a four-game losing streak and avoid another loss to a last-place team. The journeyman McKinney, who spent the season’s first two months at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slugged a three-run home run in the fourth inning to put the Yankees up for good in their 5-4 win over the lowly Royals. Filling in for the banged-up Harrison Bader in center field, McKinney also made a sliding catch in the third inning and a leaping grab against the wall in the 7th to rob Kansas City of extra-base hits. The Royals had taken a 3-1 lead on a Michael Massey three-run homer in the top of the fourth when McKinney answered with his blast over the right field wall in the bottom of the frame. Franchy Cordero and Gleyber Torres also hit solo homers. All three of the Yankees’ homes came against Royals rookie Alec Marsh, who was making his fourth career start. The Yankees overcame an uneven outing by starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt, who retired the first nine Royals hitters but ultimately surrendered three runs in 5.2 innings. Yankees relievers Wandy Peralta, Michael King, Tommy Kahnle and Clay Holmes combined to pitch 4.1 innings of one-run ball to finish off the game. The win over the Royals — who, at 28-71, are the second-worst MLB team — was much-needed for the Yankees, who were coming off a disastrous road trip in which they dropped two of three to the NL-worst Rockies before being swept by the middling, Mike Trout-less Angels. New York also lost series this month to the Cardinals, who were in last place in the NL Central at the time, and the Cubs, who are also below .500. Friday was the Yankees’ first home game since the All-Star break — and their first time wearing Starr Insurance patches on their jersey sleeves as part of a corporate sponsorship. McKinney originally debuted with the Yankees in 2018, but he only played two games with them before being traded to the Blue Jays that season. He also played with the Brewers, Mets, Dodgers and A’s before returning to the Yankees. The 28-year-old McKinney continues to provide a spark for an embattled Yankees outfield that’s missing reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge, who suffered a torn ligament in his right big toe on June 3. McKinney is hitting .247 — well above his .209 career average — with a .793 OPS. His home run Friday was his fifth of the season. Bader left Wednesday’s game against the Angels with bruised ribs after being hit by a pitch, but manager Aaron Boone said before Friday’s game that he was doing well. Bader could have been an option off the bench, Boone said, but he did not play. The Yankees dropped nine of their previous 11 games entering Friday and had only scored more than four runs in three games over that stretch. A win over the Royals on Saturday or Sunday would give the Yankees their first series victory of July. All-Star Game starter Gerrit Cole, who is 9-2 with a 2.78 ERA this season, is scheduled to pitch Saturday afternoon against Kansas City’s Brady Singer, who is 6-8 with a 5.70 ERA. ()

BEIJING (AP) — Employers in Beijing were ordered Thursday by the government to stop outdoor work after scorching summer heat in the Chinese capital was forecast to reach 40 degrees centigrade (104 Fahrenheit). Government departments were ordered to ensure the elderly and ill could stay cool after the city of 22 million people issued a “red alert,” the highest level of a warning system for extreme temperatures. The government reported on Monday that Beijing recorded 10 days of temperatures above 35 C (95 F), the longest streak of its kind since 1961. “Relevant departments and units shall take emergency measures for heatstroke prevention and cooling,” said a city government notice. It told employers to “stop outdoor operations.” At the same time, flooding has forced thousands of people to flee their homes in southern China. The government on Wednesday issued an alert for possible flash flooding in Inner Mongolia in the north, Heilongjiang in the northeast and Tibet and Sichuan in the southwest. People are enduring torrid temperatures across much of the globe. The Earth’s average temperature remained at a record high Wednesday, after two days in which the planet reached unofficial records. It’s the latest marker in a series of climate-change-driven extremes.

‘Justice for my daughter’: Family speaks after Ocala mother shot through door OCALA, Fla. (WCJB) - The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting death of a mother in Ocala as the family demands justice. On Monday afternoon, the family of Ajikea “AJ” Owens held a press conference at New St. John Missionary Baptist Church with Attorney Anthony Thomas and Bishop J. David Stockton, the president of the NAACP of Marion County. The family is calling for the shooter to be arrested. A few hours earlier, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods gave an update on the case. Woods says last Friday, deputies responded to a reported trespassing situation at 1662 S.W. 107th Ln., Ocala. Deputies found Owens suffering a gunshot wound. She later died at the hospital. The family named the shooter as Susan Lawrick, 58. They say she harassed the children in the neighborhood calling them racial slurs, slaves, and the N-word. The sheriff would not release the identity of the shooter. He did explain that a dispute between Owens’ children and the resident led to Owens confronting the woman. Her 9-year-old child was next to her when Owens was shot. “To know her, is to know her kids are everything,” said Pamela Dias, the mother of Owens. “We are here on behalf of the four kids here without a mother.” Woods responded to criticism the sheriff’s office was not moving fast enough in the case. “When you get to the scene, sometimes you only get one side of the story,” said Sheriff Woods. “We’re not cold-hearted bastards to interview children the night they possibly watched their mother die.” The family explains prior to the shooting, Owens’ children were playing in a field next to the home. Lawrick approached the children and allegedly began yelling at them to get off the land. The children left an iPad in the field which the woman confiscated. When one of the kids went back to the home to retrieve the device, a pair of skates was thrown and hit a child. The children explained the situation to their mother and Owens went to the home to speak to the woman. When Owens knocked on the door, the woman fired through the door. The attorney says Owens knocked once on Lawrick’s door. When she did not respond, Owens said, “I know you hear me.” Woods says he is working on determining exactly what was said between the two women at the doorway. The sheriff could not say how many shots were fired. Woods says there had been an ongoing neighborhood feud, with complaints made about the children. Half a dozen incidents have been called in over the last year. Kim Robinson-Jones, the best friend of Owens, explained she lived at the unit before Owens and had negative experiences with Lawrick. She also explains her children regularly played in the same field with permission from the landowner. “She made sacrifices as a single mom to be there for them,” said Kim Robinson-Jones, the best friend of Owens. “She would never want to miss a football game or cheerleading practice.” The sheriff’s office has been in contact with the state attorney’s office. Woods says they are working to determine if the shooting falls under the self-defense provisions of Florida Stand Your Ground law. “I am here for the family to provide all of my resources,” said Woods. “My heart goes out to the family.” “We support the sheriff in doing what’s right, we just request he do it right now,” said Stockton. “Black folks are almost living in a day where they are afraid of going outside.” Click here to subscribe to our newsletter.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian soldier opened fire in a military base, killing an aid worker and a fellow soldier in the country’s northeast region where troops are fighting decade-long extremist violence, authorities said. Samson Nantip Zhakom, a spokesman for the Nigerian army, said troops at the Damboa base in Borno province took steps to “immediately neutralize” the unidentified soldier, indicating that he had been killed. A helicopter pilot for the U.N. Humanitarian Aid Service was injured in the shooting and is in stable condition, said Zhakom of the incident which took place on Thursday. “A detailed investigation into the incident and subsequent remedial actions have commenced into the highly regrettable incident,” said Zhakom. The aid worker who was killed had worked for the group, Medecins du Monde (Doctors of the World), according to the U.N. in Nigeria. The shooting incident shocked the humanitarian community in northeastern Nigeria where aid workers have provided life-saving assistance to millions affected by the insurgency by Islamic extremists. The shooting prompted the UN air service – which transports humanitarian workers and supplies in the troubled region – to immediately suspend helicopter operations in the area. The killing of the humanitarian worker is “deeply disturbing and sad,” Matthias Schmale, a humanitarian coordinator for the U.N. in Nigeria. “All humanitarian staff working in northeast Nigeria deserve our fullest respect for their courage and commitment to stay and deliver life-saving assistance to people in need in often difficult and dangerous circumstances. Humanitarian workers must be protected,” said Schmale. Little is known about the soldier in question or his motivation for the attack though analysts have in the past raised concerns about the mental well-being of some of the security personnel fighting the war. Allegations of human rights abuses committed by soldiers are also rampant, especially from locals living close to them. “The psychological problem — the trauma and all that – could have something to do with this but on the other hand, soldiers misbehave a lot with their guns,” said Jack Vince, a Borno-based security analyst.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and a small group of leaders from alliance countries are meeting in the Netherlands to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine and to prepare for a summit in Spain later this month. The informal gathering is being held Tuesday evening at Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s official residence at The Hague and co-hosted by Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen. The other leaders attending were Romania’s president, and the prime ministers of Belgium, Poland, Portugal and Latvia. Against a backdrop of war on the alliance’s eastern edge, the talks will likely also address applications by Sweden and Finland to join the alliance. Both countries applied in May to join NATO after decades of military non-alignment. That changed after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vetoed their entry until the two countries change their policies on supporting Kurdish militants deemed by Ankara to be terrorists. Stoltenberg said Monday he was “glad” that the Swedish government has confirmed its “readiness to address Turkey’s concerns as part of assuming the obligations of future NATO membership.” The meeting is the latest round of international diplomacy before a June 29-30 NATO summit in Madrid. Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins told a local radio program on Tuesday that he hopes — and expects — that the strengthening of the eastern flank, particularly in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that all border Russia, will be discussed over dinner in The Hague. The issue is relevant to the governments in Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius, which have long sought a permanent presence of NATO troops on their territories following Russia’s military maneuvers in the region in the past several years and substantially increased the appeals since Moscow’s invasion. In the interview with Latvian Radio, cited by the Baltic News Service, Karins stressed that it was important his NATO colleagues have a similar understanding of the need to strengthen security in the Baltic region. The meeting in The Hague follows a gathering Friday in Bucharest of nine NATO nations on the alliance’s eastern flank where some leaders urged NATO to step up protection in light of Russia’s protracted war against Ukraine. “We need to make sure that NATO is able and prepared to respond effectively and calibrated to the threats it faces,” Romanian President Klaus Iohannis told reporters after Friday’s meeting. “The alliance needs to be able to defend every inch of its territory.” Three NATO members — Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey — border the Black Sea, which has turned into a key battleground in the war in Ukraine. ___ Jari Tanner in Helsinki, and Monika Scislowska in Warsaw, Poland, contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the Ukraine war at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine

Patrick Cantlay was part of an All-Star chasing pack until he holed out from 106 yards for eagle and carried that to a 6-under 65 on Saturday, giving him a one-shot lead and a chance to become the first back-to-back winner of the BMW Championship in the FedEx Cup era. Next up is another round with a familiar face. Xander Schauffele, his closest friend on the PGA Tour, had a bogey-free 66 and was a shot back, along with Scott Stallings (66). Cantlay and Schauffele play practice rounds together just about every week when they’re at the same tournament, just never with this much on the line. More than just $2.7 million for the winner, Cantlay or Schauffele could go to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup — that also depends on how Masters champion Scottie Scheffler fares — with a win and start the Tour Championship with a two-shot lead. Cantlay knows the value of that from experience. After his dynamic playoff win in the BMW Championship last year at Caves Valley, he had the No. 1 seed and a two-shot lead at the start and wound up winning by one shot to claim the $18 million prize. “My head is not even there right now,” said Cantlay, who was at 12-under 201. “I think the best way to handle this playoff system is to just focus on doing your best in the tournament that you’re in and not worry too much about the points. So that’s what I’m going to do.” And there’s another reason. This is far from a two-man show on the South course at Wilmington Country Club that is sun-baked and fast on the greens. Adam Scott, trying to work his way into the top 30 who reach the Tour Championship, held his own with a 69 and was only two shots behind. He started the postseason at No. 77 and is coming off a tie for fifth last week just to make it to the BMW. Also two back was Scheffler, the world No. 1 who answered consecutive bogeys late in his round with a 4-foot birdie for a 68. Collin Morikawa (65) and Aaron Wise (67) made it seven players separated by three shots. Rory McIlroy started slowly and could only manage a 70, leaving him five shots. Jordan Spieth, who began the weekend just one shot behind, missed par putts of 3 feet and 2 feet and didn’t have much else go right in his round of 74 that took him out of contention. Cantlay and Schauffele became fast friends at the Presidents Cup in 2019 at Royal Melbourne and now take holidays together, along with countless practice rounds. It’s different with a scorecard in hand, though the comfort level is obvious. “I know how he hits the ball, he knows how I hit the ball. If I flush one or he flushes one, it sort of is extra information that we can use. I like to use that as an advantage, and we’re good friends, so it’s a very sort of easygoing pairing even though we’re trying to beat each other,” Schauffele said. Give this round to Cantlay, just barely. Schauffele was leading when Cantlay missed a 3-foot par putt — he also missed one from a little closer on the 17th — and after they matched two-putt birdies on the 12th, Cantlay holed a birdie putt from 8 feet on the 13th and then spun back a lob wedge for eagle at the 14th. That put him in the lead, and after the shocker of a short miss for par, he finished with another lob ledge that expertly used a backstop and rolled down to 8 feet for birdie. Delaware has never hosted a PGA Tour event, so this is new for everyone. That explains why Cantlay with a wedge in hand was walking to the front of every green to see the slopes and find the best play. It worked on the 14th for his eagle, and on the 18th for his birdie. Stallings has plenty at stake on Sunday, too. He came into the BMW Championship at No. 46 in the standings and now is clearly within range of playing one more week. “That was my No. 1 goal to start the year,” Stallings said. This is his 12th year on the PGA Tour and the closest he has ever been to the Tour Championship.

3 Nigerian men charged in ‘sextortion’ suicide death of 17-year-old football star MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC/Gray News) – Three Nigerian men have been charged in what investigators said was a sextortion scheme that resulted in the suicide of a 17-year-old Michigan boy. On March 25, 2022, 17-year-old Jordan DeMay, a student and football player at Marquette Senior High School, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death prompted an investigation by the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Following their investigation, on Wednesday, officials announced that three Nigerian men are awaiting extradition to the United States, charged with sexually extorting more than 100 young men and teenage boys across the United States. One of those men is being charged with causing the death of DeMay. Samuel Ogoshi, 22, Samson Ogoshi, 20, and Ezekiel Ejehem Robert, 19, all of Lagos, Nigeria, were arrested in Nigeria and are awaiting extradition to the United States for prosecution. For the death of DeMay, Samuel Ogoshi is charged with sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor resulting in death. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a minimum of 30 years in prison. All three men are charged with conspiracy to sexually exploit minors, conspiracy to distribute child pornography, and conspiracy to commit stalking through the internet. Those charges carry maximum sentences of 30 years in prison, 20 years in prison, and five years in prison, respectively. The first two charges carry minimum sentences of 15 years in prison and five years in prison. The grand jury alleges that the defendants bought hacked social media accounts and used the accounts to pose as young women to lure teenagers and young adult males into sexual chats. One of the accounts used was an Instagram account bearing the username “dani.robertts”, which communicated with DeMay shortly before his death. After initiating chat conversations with the victims, the defendants allegedly used Google and other online applications to research information about the victims, including where the victims lived, where they went to school or worked, and who their family and friends were. The grand jury alleges that the defendants then solicited their victims to send sexually explicit images of themselves. Once the defendants received sexually explicit images, they threatened to send the images to the victims’ family, friends and classmates unless the victims paid money. The grand jury alleges the defendants engaged in this extortion and attempted extortion of more than 100 people. The grand jury alleges that on March 25, 2022, after DeMay was persuaded to send a naked picture of himself, Samuel Ogoshi used the dani.robertts account on Instagram to extort him. The chat exchange between DeMay (Victim 1) and Samuel Ogoshi, which led to DeMay’s death, has been released: dani.robertts: I have screenshot all ur followers and tags can send this nudes to everyone and also send your nudes to your Family and friends Until it goes viral…All you’ve to do is to cooperate with me and I won’t expose you dani.robertts: Are you gonna cooperate with me dani.robertts: Just pay me rn [Just pay me right now] dani.robertts: And I won’t expose you Victim 1: How much dani.robertts: $1000 After DeMay paid $300, Samuel Ogoshi made more threats. dani.robertts: Goodbye dani.robertts: Enjoy your miserable life Victim 1: I’m kms rn [I’m kill myself right now] Victim 1: Bc of you [Because of you] dani.robertts: Good dani.robertts: Do that fast dani.robertts: Or I’ll make you do it dani.robertts: I swear to God Officials said DeMay committed suicide less than six hours after he was extorted. The grand jury alleges that also on March 25, 2022, a second victim (who has not been named) sent a naked photo of himself, and the following messages were exchanged: dani.robertts: Pay me rn [Pay me right now] dani.robertts: $800 dani.robertts: And I’ll end this dani.robertts: Deal or no deal Victim 2: I don’t have that kind of money dani.robertts: Haha dani.robertts: I love this . . . Victim 2: I have $50 in venmo and a $100 cash dani.robertts: Dude dani.robertts: Now goodbye dani.robertts: Enjoy your miserable life Victim 2: Why dani.robertts: I’ll make this go viral On March 26, 2022, the following messages were exchanged with the second victim: dani.robertts: I will make you regret you life dani.robertts: I will make u commit suicide dani.robertts: I promise you I swear DeMay’s family made a statement at the press conference on Wednesday, saying in part, “Our family has forever been changed by this heinous crime and our objective is to prevent another individual from being victimized. Kids, teenagers, young adults and even adults can be a target of sextortion. We urge you to have discussions about this and have a plan for your children to reach out if it does happen to them.” U.S. Attorney Mark Totten said sextortion is a horrible crime that can leave younger victims feeling ashamed with nowhere to turn. “My heart goes out to the family of Jordan DeMay. Nothing can bring Jordan back, but my office is committed to securing justice and, alongside Jordan’s family, sending an urgent warning so others can protect themselves and their families,” Totten said. “We will travel the world to hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable.” Copyright 2023 WLUC via Gray Media Group, Inc.

DADEVILLE, Ala (AP) — Three days after gunfire at a Sweet 16 birthday party killed four young people and injured 32 more, some critically, victims’ relatives and officials expressed hope that investigators may be nearing an arrest and also frustration about police silence on the case. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced Tuesday evening that multiple law enforcement agencies, including local police and and the FBI, would hold a news conference the following morning to discuss the case, further heightening anticipation of a potential breakthrough. The shootings Saturday night rocked the small town of Dadeville, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Birmingham, and families suddenly found themselves planning memorials and burial services instead of graduation parties or college move-ins. A relative of one teen killed in the shooting told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the family, which has been briefed by officials, understands that the investigation is progressing. “They are working very hard and are adamant about apprehending those who are responsible for the tragic event,” said Amy Jackson, whose cousin KeKe Smith was among the dead. Dadeville Mayor Frank Goodman said Tuesday that police had established a new command center behind a church, but it was not immediately clear if it was connected to the shooting. He also said a lack of information from police about where the investigation stands has been frustrating for many. “They hadn’t told us nothing yet. They are not releasing anything,” Goodman said when asked if an arrest was near. “It’s been frustrating for me especially when citizens come by and want to know what is happening.” As of Tuesday afternoon, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency had released little information. The previous day it said in a statement that investigators were “still processing all of the evidence, in conjunction with completing interviews, in an effort to solidify a motive and potential suspects.” The four people killed were: Philstavious “Phil” Dowdell, 18, a senior at Dadeville High School senior and star wide receiver who had planned to play college football in the fall; fellow Dadeville High senior Shaunkivia Nicole “KeKe” Smith, 17, a track and multisport athlete-turned-team manager; 2022 Opelika High School graduate Marsiah Emmanuel “Siah” Collins, 19, an aspiring singer who also planned to start college this fall; and 2018 Dadeville High graduate Corbin Dahmontrey Holston, 23, another former athlete at the school. “I’m speechless. I’m numb. I really can’t believe that Marsiah is gone,” Shirley “Shunte” Jones, Collins’ mother, said at a candlelight vigil, according to the Opelika-Auburn News. “I never thought I would have to bury my child. … I thought my child’s supposed to bury me,” Jones continued. Holston’s mother, Janett Heard, told AL.com that he had gone to the party to check on a younger family member who feared trouble. Relatives told the news outlet the shooting began shortly after Holston arrived and he pulled his younger relative to safety. Lawmakers held a moment of silence Tuesday on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives. “It is a sad day for the state when something so senseless happens. Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones in this attack,” state Rep. Ed Oliver of Dadeville said. He added that they were calling on people “to continue to pray for healing and recovery for the community.” Members of the Legislative Black Caucus said it is time for the state to address gun violence in Alabama, which in 2020 had the fifth-highest rate of gun deaths in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Caucus members, who hold a minority of seats in the GOP-controlled Legislature, spoke at a funeral home owned by Smith’s grandfather. “I am tired of hearing the wails and the cries of parents and families that have lost their loved ones, and elected officials have not acted,” Democratic state Sen. Merika Coleman said. Investigators are asking people to come forward with any videos or photos from the party. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said it has worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to establish a digital tip line for such submissions.

by Isiah Holmes, Wisconsin Examiner June 10, 2023 A new report by Forward Analytics, a research division of the Wisconsin Counties Association, is taking a deeper look at the fentanyl-fueled overdose crisis. Deaths linked to synthetic opioids, namely fentanyl, rose by over 1,000% from 2015 through 2021. The surge claimed the lives of over 4,300 people across the Badger State. Fentanyl was originally developed in 1959, and was used as an anesthetic. Doctors over the decades began prescribing it for severe pain, especially after surgery or to address pain from terminal diseases like advanced cancer. Fentanyl is about 50 times more potent than heroin, over 100 times stronger than morphine, and is undetectable by smell or taste. While fentanyl has ushered in the latest era of drug-related deaths, it’s hardly the first drug to do so. An era of heroin usage coincided with the Vietnam War, and preceded crack cocaine in the 1980s. The Forward Analytics report highlights the creation of OxyContin in 1995, which seeded the opioid crisis of the 2000s. In Wisconsin, overdose deaths have climbed sharply over the last 22 years. From 1999 to 2021, the report found, drug overdose deaths increased by more than 700%. The same period of time saw deaths involving opioids increase by over 1,800%. The first phase from 1999 to 2007 was fueled by prescription opioids. Between 2007 and 2015, heroin use drove the crisis. Ever larger waves of fentanyl-related deaths have followed. The Forward Analytics report took a closer look at who is hit hardest by the deaths. It found that the mortality rate for men is 2.6 times greater than women, and nearly three times greater for Black and Native American residents than for white residents. Wisconsin’s Black population, the report highlighted, saw its mortality rate related to drug overdose deaths triple from 2019 to 2021. In 2020, fentanyl deaths were 2.6 times greater than the second leading cause of death, motor vehicle accidents, for people 25 to 34 years old. From 2015 to 2021, the report found, fentanyl was linked to over 4,300 deaths in Wisconsin, resulting in 155,000 years of potential life lost. While the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that fentanyl deaths are plateauing in Wisconsin, the numbers are still overwhelming. Roughly 1,300 people died in 2022 across the state, the report noted. Meanwhile, local municipalities are struggling to keep up with the tide of fatal and non-fatal overdoses. Treatment specialists believe that an estimated 20,000 people are using opioids in Milwaukee County. A new medication-assisted treatment center is planned to open on Milwaukee’s northwest side after a five-year battle. All the while, drug trends continue to shift and change throughout the state. Recent months have seen the tranquilizer xylazine, at times also mixed with fentanyl, cause deaths. The Forward Analytics Report found that mortality rates were particularly high in southeastern Wisconsin, at 31.6 per 100,000 residents from 2020 to 2021. Combining fentanyl-related deaths for 2020 and 2021, Forward Analytics found that the average urban mortality rate was more than double the average for rural communities at 23.1 vs. 11.4. The organization highlighted that this rate is much higher than the national average. Rural communities in the southern portion of the state had higher rates than those in the north. Rural southwest Wisconsin had the lowest average of 5.4. By comparison central, west central, and northern Wisconsin had rates averaging between 8.4 and 11.2 per 100,000 residents. There is a lot of variation even within regions, however. Sawyer County, in the northwest of the state, had a fentanyl mortality rate of 35.9 per 100,000 people, according to the Forward Analytics report. This was the second highest rate, right behind Milwaukee County. “Sawyer’s rate was significantly above the average rural rate and the average rate for its region,” the report states. Other examples included Adams and Juneau counties, which had rates of 25.1 and 22.3 respectively. “These rates were more than double the regional rate and about three times the rural rate,” the report noted. Dale Knapp, director for Forward Analytics, warns that communities shouldn’t let their guard down when death rates plateau. “While promising, this fight is far from over,” said Knapp in a statement. Knapp points to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as an example. The agency seized more than 50.6 million fentanyl laced pills nationwide last year, with 60% testing positive for lethal doses of fentanyl. This was more than double the number from 2021, the report noted. DEA agents also seized 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder. Those captures represented more than 379 million potentially lethal doses of fentanyl, which is a larger number than the population of the United States. The report recommends more education on the street names of fentanyl and increasing access to testing strips and Narcan, which is used to reverse an overdose. “Illicit fentanyl has been a scourge of the nation and Wisconsin since 2015,” the report concludes. “Through last year, this drug has been associated with more than 5,600 deaths and an estimated 200,000 potential years of life lost in the state.” Wisconsin Examiner is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

Every day we’re getting progressively poorer (not the one-percenters; they’re doing just fine.). This is heavily due to President Biden’s devastating climate initiatives. His determination to destroy America’s economical and reliable energy supplies is mushrooming all of our costs Everything is affected by escalating energy prices and the damage is ongoing. He’s crushing our paychecks and pensions and mercilessly depleting our savings, ruining our hopes for a good life. Before Biden, inflation was low, we had abundant and affordable energy supplies and were insulated from hostile foreign energy producers. That all changed quickly after the presidential election and energy costs began skyrocketing (and, yes, before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine). Biden will continue to accelerate his destruction of American energy. This could be slowed down with adequate intervention by moderates in Congress. Sadly, experience with the recent blockbuster global warming law (grossly misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act”) demonstrated there’s no such thing as a “moderate Democrat.” They all lock arms to advance Biden’s cruel agenda to wreck our energy supplies. Remember “moderate” Senator Joe Manchin? His deciding vote betrayed his own West Virginians and the entire nation. As voters we must act now to slow Biden’s energy mayhem. This November, it’s important to block all energy destroyers from Congress (and state houses). At least for this election, even voters having favorite candidates who are Democrats should consider voting against them; 2024 will be too late. It’s up to us to stop the “Biden Wrecking Ball”. Vote wisely. James M. Policelli Plainfield Township

Family farm quitting egg business after 83 years, citing prices and competition COLCHESTER, Vt. (WCAX/Gray News) - A Vermont family farm is selling its final dozen eggs after 83 years in business. WCAX reports that Shadow Cross Farm in Colchester is calling it quits on April 1. On Tuesday, residents were shopping at the businesses’ storefront for what could be the last few dozen eggs while swapping stories about omelets of years past. The last few cartons were going fast. “It’s another institution leaving us,” said Dan Carver, who lives a few minutes from the storefront. “I would grab eggs for the kids. They liked what we could make with them.” While residents said the company would be missed, owner Rich Paquette said he’s proud of what his family built. “It’s been really one dozen at a time,” he said. The family has been supplying eggs to the community since 1940, but they got rid of their hens in 2000 and have since turned into a distributor. Still, the family’s eggs could be found in many stores across Vermont. “We covered a lot of the state, even as tiny as we are,” Paquette said. According to Paquette, the six family employees working were helping to supply an estimated 80% of eggs eaten in Chittenden County. The family said their decision to close their doors was driven by the desire to slow down. Paquette said he and his wife don’t feel the need to take on the challenges of the evolving marketplace, including fluctuating egg prices and competition from larger markets. “We don’t want to continue learning new challenges. We do what we do quite well, but it’s time for us to move on into something less hectic,” he said. The wholesale accounts have been sold to another food distributor out of South Barre, and Paquette will focus on his storage business. Paquette thanked his loyal customers for their decades of support. Those stopping by Tuesday said they understood but will still miss the local label. “It’s sad to see. I’ve been living in town for 30 years, but it’s just one more change. This one, I will say for the worse, but I also understand why,” Carver said. Copyright 2023 WCAX via Gray Media Group, Inc.

ATLANTA (AP) — William Contreras homered twice, Ian Anderson allowed one hit in six scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Saturday night. The victory was Atlanta’s second straight and boosted the defending World Series champion Braves to 38-14 since June 1, the best record in the major leagues over that span. Atlanta stayed three games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. Contreras, the Braves’ No. 2 catcher, thought Anderson’s performance was stellar. The two know each other well from spending time in the Braves’ farm system, and Contreras was pleased to see Anderson having all his pitches working. “We have a good connection between the two of us,” Contreras said through a translator. “He had everything going tonight — fastball, change, curve. I’m really happy for him. He had a tremendous game, and I’m happy to see him have that kind of a performance out there.” The Braves improved to 17-8 this month to guarantee consecutive months with single-digit losses for the first time since the 2004 team won the division with 96 victories. They are 35-21 at home. Matt Olson, who has gone deep nine times in his last 18 games, made it 1-0 in the first with his 21st homer, a 415-foot shot into left-center. Olson matched his career-best 25th RBI for a month from September 2021. Eddie Rosario began the second with a walk and crossed the plate when Contreras connected with a 427-foot shot to center field. Contreras homered into right in the fourth to pad the lead at 4-0. It marked the All-Star’s third career multihomer game and first since May 21 at Miami. Contreras likes the role he’s carved out with the Braves, backing up Travis d’Arnaud and occasionally serving as designated hitter. “I’m just going to keep taking advantage of the opportunity to play,” Contreras said. “If they put me in the lineup, that’s all I want. I’ll play any position they ask me to play. Obviously, I like catching and it’s something I look forward to and sure I prefer it, but they could put me at any position and I’d be happy.” Corbin Martin (0-1) gave up the three homers and allowed six hits and four runs in four innings. “I felt like he was primed and ready to show us what he could do, but he just didn’t execute,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “Those are things we have to coach up and get into him a little bit and get him into the right spots. It’s a learning process for young pitchers, and I know there’s more in there for him, so he shows glimpses of good stuff. He just lacks consistency.” Atlanta scored twice to make it 6-0 in the sixth on Rosario’s RBI triple and Orlando Arcia’s RBI single. Anderson (9-6), trying to quell speculation that he’s in danger of losing his spot in the rotation, retired the first 14 batters he faced and finished with one walk and nine strikeouts. He had a 6.25 ERA with a .303 opponents’ batting average in his 12 previous starts. Anderson said he didn’t feel any added pressure heading into his start. “I think that’s why I went into it with a mentality of whatever happens happens,” he said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure it happens in my favor, but with the support I’ve had — everyone has wanted to help me a ton, and I just want to help the team win games at this point. We’re in a good spot.” Anderson gave up his first hit when Jake McCarthy doubled with two outs in the fifth. McCarthy stole third and Anderson walked Buddy Kennedy before Geraldo Perdomo struck out to end the threat. Anderson lowered his ERA to 4.99. The Diamondbacks dropped to 45-55. They began the day 22 games out of first place in the NL West. Arizona scored twice off A.J. Minter in the ninth on Daulton Varsho’s RBI single and Jake McCarthy’s RBI single. TRAINER’S ROOM Braves closer Kenley Jansen left Friday’s win with a sore back, and manager Brian Snitker said he would not be available out of the bullpen. Snitker hopes Jansen will be able to return Sunday. TRADED With OF-DH David Peralta dealt to Tampa Bay before the game, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo inserted Buddy Kennedy at 2B and used Ketel Marte at DH. Peralta, 34, played the third-most games in Arizona history and spent his entire nine-year career with Arizona. He won a Silver Slugger award in 2018 and a Gold Glove in 2019. The Rays sent 19-year-old minor league catcher Christian Cerda to the Diamondbacks. “Sad news for me, but I’m excited to join a team that I can help go to the postseason,” Peralta said. “I never thought this day was going to come, but it happens. I was prepared for something to happen.” HONORED Joe Torre, Leo Mazzone and the late Joe Adcock were inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame as the team hosted its alumni weekend. An on-field ceremony was held before the game. Torre, a National Baseball Hall of Fame manager with the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, Yankees and Dodgers, went 257-229 from 1982-84 as Atlanta manager. He spent nine of his 18 major league as a catcher and first baseman with the Braves, hitting .294 with 142 homers and 552 RBIs and going to the All-Star Game five times with Milwaukee and Atlanta. Mazzone was the pitching coach in Atlanta from 1990-2005, during which the Braves won 14 consecutive division titles. National Baseball Hall of Fame pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz enjoyed their best seasons under Mazzone. Adcock, who never played in Atlanta, hit .285 with 239 homers and 760 RBIs in 10 seasons with Milwaukee. UP NEXT Atlanta LHP Max Fried (10-3, 2.73 ERA) and Arizona RHP Merrill Kelly (10-5, 3.04) face off as the teams conclude a three-game series. Fried, an All-Star, is 3-1 with a 2.61 ERA in five starts this month. Kelly is 4-0 with a 1.57 ERA in five starts this month. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. (TMJ4) —Three people are dead after a police pursuit ended in a crash with the suspect vehicle going over a bridge and catching fire. According to Milwaukee police, officers pursued a vehicle involved in drug dealing and reckless driving shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday. Prior to the incident, police say officers saw occupants of a Toyota Avalon at 22nd and Mineral involved in a suspected drug deal. When officers attempted a traffic stop, they say the suspects fled recklessly and a police pursuit was initiated. After nearly a minute, the suspect vehicle fled across the 16th Street Viaduct, crossed the center line, and started to leave the roadway, police said. Once the car crossed the sidewalk, an 18-year-old Milwaukee woman was hit by the vehicle. The pedestrian was transported to the hospital with a minor injury. The vehicle then crashed through the safety fence and fell below the bridge and caught on fire. Officers began rendering aid to the three occupants of the vehicle. The Milwaukee Fire Department responded and the three occupants of the vehicle were pronounced dead. Police say the suspects appear to be three adult males, but their identities have not been released. A witness told Scripps Station TMJ4 News that the crash was "shocking." "He (the driver) lost control. He was going 80, 90 (miles per hour)," Mimi Reza stated. Reza said she was coming up the bridge when the vehicle was suspect's vehicle was being pursued. "He (the driver) went over the bridge, you just hear the screeching, the banging, an explosion," Reza said. "It was a sad incident. It's really sad they had to lose it (their lives) that way." This story was originally reported on tmj4.com.

No drug test for ‘Rust’ movie armorer in upcoming trial over fatal shooting by Alec Baldwin SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The former weapons supervisor on the set of the movie “Rust” won’t have to take a drug test as she confronts felony charges of evidence tampering and involuntary manslaughter in the on-set shooting death of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin. A New Mexico district court judge on Wednesday dismissed a request from prosecutors to test Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for illegal drugs, calling it “an ambush” against her defense lawyers. Prosecutors say Gutierrez-Reed passed narcotics to another person to avoid legal consequences in the immediate aftermath of the fatal shooting in October 2021, while contending in court documents that the armorer was likely hungover on the day a live bullet was placed into the gun Baldwin used. Defense attorney Jason Bowles said the drug use allegations are unsubstantiated and undocumented. It’s still unclear how several live rounds of ammunition got on set. Prosecutors say they have some evidence to support the theory that Gutierrez-Reed may be responsible for the introduction of the rounds. Wednesday’s hearing, held online, was the first for a recently filed felony charge against Gutierrez-Reed of tampering with evidence in the shooting, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer advised Gutierrez-Reed of her legal rights on the evidence-tampering charge, which carries a possible penalty of up to 18 months in prison. Gutierrez-Reed did not enter a plea. An involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin was dropped in April. The actor was pointing a gun at Hutchins when it went off, killing her. Baldwin has said the gun fired accidentally after he followed instructions to aim it toward Hutchins, who was behind the camera. Evidentiary hearings may take place as soon as August to determine whether the case against Gutierrez-Reed advances toward trial. Additionally, Gutierrez-Reed still has access to guns as a self-defense measure against threats — something prosecutors raised as a concern during Wednesday’s online court hearing. “We have a person who is a substance user who is in possession of firearms,” said special prosecutor Kari Morrissey. Gutierrez-Reed’s lawyers say prosecutors are resorting to “character assassination” to prop up their involuntary manslaughter case. The filming of “Rust” resumed in April in Montana under an agreement with the cinematographer’s widower, Matthew Hutchins, that makes him an executive producer. Souza says he returned to directing “Rust” to honor the legacy of Halyna Hutchins. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

CUTE: Zoo welcomes baby hippopotamus just in time for Christmas RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT/Gray News) - A zoo in Virginia says it has received an early Christmas present this year. The Metro Richmond Zoo welcomed a pygmy hippopotamus earlier this month. Zoo officials have shared photos and videos of the newborn getting acclimated to its new surroundings with parents Iris and Corwin. WWBT reports the yet-to-be-named baby hippo is the second calf born at the zoo. The calf reportedly has already added some weight, weighing 16 pounds three days after birth and 24 pounds at 1-week-old. Officials with the zoo said a full-grown pygmy hippo could weigh up to 600 pounds. According to the zoo, Iris and her baby are bonding privately but will be moved into an indoor pool area visible to guests soon. The Metro Richmond Zoo is the only place in Virginia where people can see hippos. Copyright 2022 WWBT via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.

- Revenue increased by 11.6% - Profit increased by 27.1% - Strong net cash position at year end - New contract wins with JCB and Airbus, and expansion of existing business with Jaguar Land Rover, will see around 2,000 people joining Unipart's UK workforce in 2023 - Darren Leigh appointed Chief Executive Officer - John Neill continues as full-time Executive Chairman OXFORD, England, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Unipart Group, one of Europe's leading manufacturing, logistics, and consulting businesses, has announced its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2022. Group turnover increased to £917.3m (2021: £821.6m), delivering underlying Group profit before interest and tax of £12.2m (2021: £9.6m). Significant business growth in 2022 contributed to Unipart's positive financial results. New Unipart Logistics contracts with JCB and Airbus will see nearly 1,000 people join the company in 2023, and Unipart Manufacturing's electric vehicle battery production facility joint venture began making battery packs for the new all-electric Lotus Evija hypercar, the most powerful production car in the world In October 2022, Darren Leigh was appointed as Unipart Group Chief Executive Officer, taking over the role from John Neill, who remains Unipart Group Executive Chairman. The Group had a particularly strong Q4 and ended the year in a strong net cash position overall. Darren Leigh said that Unipart's strong performance in 2022 resulted from a clear focus on delivering innovative, value-added supply chain solutions for new and existing customers in a challenging business environment. "Despite the global challenges affecting economies and supply chains, 2022 was a positive year for Unipart, with double-digit revenue and earnings growth across our business. We responded to the economic headwinds with courage and agility, and we start 2023 with a strong orderbook and are ideally placed for long-term sustainable growth. "We continue to be a proud British company and we continue to invest in the UK. We have a long history of partnering with our customers, and we are delighted to have been awarded a number of contracts in 2022 with both new and existing customers, particularly in the UK. New business wins with JCB and Airbus, and the new Mercia Park aftermarket logistics operation we are opening for Jaguar Land Rover, will see around 2,000 people joining Unipart's highly engaged workforce this year. "Unipart's electric vehicle battery production joint venture Hyperbat announced an exciting new contract to manufacture battery packs for the new all-electric Lotus Evija in Coventry, demonstrating the cutting-edge capability we have in a fast-accelerating sector of the automotive industry. "Unipart Technologies Group released several products to the market which will enable customers to increase their productivity, safety, and sustainability. "Our breadth of technology offerings is rapidly increasing, as we continue our journey to become a technology-led supply chain partner of choice. "Our values and principles guide our culture and decision-making at every level with The Unipart Way at the heart of everything we do, empowering our people to take personal responsibility for identifying new ways to deliver the service excellence for which we are renowned. We look forward to continuing this strong growth in 2023 and beyond. Commenting on the results, Unipart Group Executive Chairman John Neill said: "We established our guiding philosophy, 'To understand the real and perceived needs of our customers better than anyone else and serve them better than anyone else' more than four decades ago. It has never been more relevant as we continue to reinvent our business to enable our company, and support our customers to participate successfully in a fast-changing world. "Decades of unwavering commitment to build and develop The Unipart Way rooted in deep respect for our people has resulted in exceptional employee and customer engagement. We are grateful to our customers for the trust they place in us and the new opportunities they give us. "Our greatest strength doesn't appear on the balance sheet. It is the culture we have built together, strongly characterised by our fellow employees, who are keen to embrace change and curious about technology, which in an era of fast developing artificial general intelligence and the transformational opportunities it brings for our colleagues and customers has never been more important. "There's never been a more exciting time to be in business, and to be in our business as we look forward to continuing our growth and reinvention agenda." Business growth Unipart has experienced significant growth in 2022 across various sectors, including being named JCB's supply chain partner for all UK operations and systems. The decision to select Unipart Logistics was based on its experience in delivering supply chain transformation globally, and how it has demonstrated engagement and innovation in driving operational excellence and continuous improvement culture in daily operations. Unipart Logistics also won a multi-year contract to provide in-plant logistics services to Airbus in the UK, in which it will take on 450 people across production facilities in Broughton and Filton. The expansion of the existing contract with Jaguar Land Rover at their new Mercia Park site opening this year will see a further 1,000 people join Unipart. Unipart extended its contract with Sky for another two years across all service areas, supporting the full Sky product portfolio with logistics, recycling, call centre, and fleet management services for Sky's field engineers and UK customers. Unipart signed a new multi-year contract extension with Three to continue providing logistics and distribution services in the UK. This latest extension with Three takes Unipart beyond its twentieth year of partnership, having supported them since they launched in 2003 as 'the network that was born to be different'. Hyperbat, Unipart Manufacturing's joint venture with WAE Technologies, won a multi-million-pound deal with Lotus to supply battery packs for the new all-electric Evija hypercar. Hyperbat will produce lithium-ion battery packs for the British carmaker for an initial period of three years. The mid-mounted battery pack will support a target output of 2,000PS and will ensure the Lotus Evija can reach 0-62mph in just three seconds, and a top speed of over 200mph. Sustainability Unipart is committed to achieving net zero carbon across its supply chain. In 2022, Unipart measured its full carbon footprint for the first time, including emissions from the entire value chain. As a result, Unipart revised its net zero carbon target, bringing this forward by a decade to be net zero carbon by 2040. To achieve this goal, Unipart has undertaken a number of carbon reduction projects. For example, the company has partially transitioned to consuming Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) instead of diesel, significantly reducing the carbon impact of its fleet. Unipart has also taken in-house some transport services on behalf of the Unipart Rail operations, so that these journeys can also transition to HVO. In addition, in 2022 Unipart began a 12-month Battery Electric Truck Trial with its NHS Supply Chain customer, with the introduction of 19-tonne fully electric trucks with refrigerated bodies delivering supplies to frontline NHS services. In 2022, Unipart's environmental initiatives led to a reduction in CO2 consumption by 20% and water consumption by 10% and resulted in an overall recycling rate of 97%. Awards Unipart won two prestigious Sword of Honour awards for world-class safety with an additional Chief Adjudicator's award for recording the highest audit score of the year from all organisations. This takes Unipart's Sword of Honour award tally to more than 60 since 2011, more than any other organisation in its sectors. In addition, Unipart was awarded three Gold RoSPA awards for outstanding safety performance. Unipart further underlined its sustainability credentials, achieving a five-star rating in the British Safety Council Environmental Sustainability audit for the 10th consecutive year, and was awarded the prestigious Globe of Honour for its outstanding environmental management. Unipart was also named 'Corporation of the Year' at the 2022 Automotive Global Awards for its innovative electric vehicle proposition. The company's continued commitment to developing people was recognised when Unipart secured a Princess Royal Training Award for outstanding workplace training for the fourth year in a row.

Travelers rank 2022’s best and worst airports in North America Frequent flight cancelations. Crowded terminals. A lack of parking. Expensive airport food (if you can find an open restaurant). It’s been a rough year for airport travelers, an annual airport satisfaction survey concludes. The J.D. Power 2022 North America Airport Satisfaction Study says travelers are less satisfied with their airport experiences this year than they were in 2021. Overall customer satisfaction is down 25 points based on a 1,000-point scale. "The combination of pent-up demand for air travel, the nationwide labor shortage and steadily rising prices on everything from jet fuel to a bottle of water have created a scenario in which airports are extremely crowded and passengers are increasingly frustrated—and it is likely to continue through 2023," Michael Taylor, travel intelligence lead at J.D. Power, said in a prepared statement. READ MORE: Was your flight delayed or canceled? New online dashboard displays what U.S. airlines owe you "In some ways, this is a return to normal as larger crowds at airports tend to make travelers more frazzled, but in cases where parking lots are over capacity, gates are standing-room only and restaurants and bars are not even open to offer some reprieve, it is clear that increased capacity in airports can’t come soon enough." Travelers check in for their flights at LAX at Delta Airlines, Terminal 2 at LAX Friday, May 28, 2021. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) More than half of travelers who participated in the survey said airports were severely or moderately crowded, while 24% said they skipped buying food or drink at airports because it was too expensive. But it’s not all bad news for airports: Some fared far better than others in customer satisfaction.

If you missed last month’s supermoon, you have another chance. This month’s full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon's orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon. That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting. One name for Wednesday’s full moon is the “Buck moon” — a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks. The supermoon on June 14 was the “Strawberry moon” because it’s the full moon at strawberry harvest time.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered the Russian military to increase the size of the country’s armed forces by 137,000 amid Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. Putin’s decree, which takes effect on Jan. 1, didn’t explain whether the military will beef up its ranks by drafting a bigger number of conscripts, increasing the number of volunteer soldiers or using a combination of both. The presidential decree seeks to boost the number of Russian armed forces’ personnel to 2,039,758 overall, including 1,150,628 servicemen. A previous order put the military’s numbers at 1,902,758 and 1,013,628 respectively at the start of 2018. The Kremlin has said that only volunteer contract soldiers take part in what it calls the “special military operation” in Ukraine, rejecting claims that it was pondering a broad mobilization. Russian media and non-governmental organizations say Russian authorities have sought to bolster the number of troops involved in the military action in Ukraine by attracting more volunteers, engaging private military contractors and even offering amnesty to some prisoners in exchange for a tour of military duty. All Russian men aged 18-27 must serve one year in the military, but a large share avoid the draft for health reasons or deferments granted to university students. The share of men who avoid the draft is particularly big in Moscow and other major cities. The Russian military rounds up draftees twice a year, during the spring and in the fall. Putin ordered the drafting 134,500 conscripts during the latest spring draft. In recent years, the Kremlin has emphasized increasing the share of volunteer contract soldiers as it sought to modernize the army and improve its readiness. Before the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine, the Russian military had over 400,000 contract soldiers, including 147,000 in the ground forces. Military observers have noted that if the campaign in Ukraine drags on, those numbers could be clearly insufficient to sustain the operations in Ukraine, which has declared a goal of forming a 1-million-strong military.

Darden buys Ruth’s Chris Steak House for about $715 million (AP) - The Ruth’s Chris Steak House chain is being acquired by Darden Restaurants for about $715 million. The original Chris Steak House was opened on New Orleans’ Broad Street in 1927, and it was acquired by Ruth Fertel in 1965. The company has 154 locations worldwide, including 80 company-owned or -operated restaurants and 74 franchised restaurants. The company, now based in Winter Park, Florida, suffered as most restaurants did during the pandemic, closing 23 restaurants in early 2020, furloughing workers and announcing that executives were taking less pay. Shares of Ruth’s Hospitality Group Inc., which owns the restaurants, recovered within a year of the outbreak. Shares were halted before the market opened and jumped more than 30% at the opening bell. Darden, also based in Florida, is acquiring all outstanding shares of Ruth’s for $21.50 per share, a 34% premium. “Ruth’s Chris is a strong and distinctive brand in the fine dining segment with an impressive history of delivering elevated dining experiences to their loyal guests,” said Darden CEO Rick Cardenas said in a prepared statement Wednesday. Darden Restaurants Inc. owns Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Yard House, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze and Eddie V’s. Darden shares were flat Wednesday. The deal, which was unanimously approved by both companies’ boards, is expected to close next month. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

For as happy as Avery Marsh anticipates she'll be when she takes the Farris Center floor Saturday to play in the Arkansas High School Coaches Association All-Star girls basketball game, a part of her will feel a bit awkward by the time tip-off rolls around. The showcase will serve as the final high school game for Marsh, who'll go down as one of the most decorated athletes in Episcopal Collegiate's history. But the event will also mark the first time in four years that she won't have her dad coaching her from the sidelines. "Oh my goodness, I feel like I haven't played for another coach in such as long time," Marsh said about playing for her father, Micah, since her freshman season with the Lady Wildcats. "It'll definitely be weird, that's for sure. I'll probably be a little sad, but at the same time, I think it'll be fun." Marsh made a habit of playing with a certain level of joy during her time at Episcopal Collegiate, which was a supporting factor as to why she succeeded in virtually everything she did. She was an all-conference and all-state performer in soccer during all four of her high school years. Marsh was also a three-time all-league pick and an all-Arkansas selection in volleyball, which led to her being chosen to play in today's all-star volleyball game. But the multi-sport star decided to pass on that opportunity, and instead, chose to participate in Saturday's basketball game. That decision goes hand-in-hand with what she'll be doing next season when she gears up for the Rhodes (Tenn.) College basketball team. "Honestly, I think she probably could've played in any of the other all-star games, but of course, she chose basketball," Micah Marsh said. "She's just a fierce competitor. It doesn't matter what she does. There really is a reason she's successful at everything she does. ... It's because she competes. "She just has that attitude that she's not gonna lose, and that's just not in sports. It's in the classroom, too. She has that drive to compete, to want to be the best, to want to win. You're just thankful that she's on your side." The elder Marsh was surely happy to have his daughter on his roster, particularly last season. Avery Marsh, who is the Lady Wildcats' all-time leading scorer, averaged 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals and led the team to a 24-7 mark and a spot in the second round of the Class 3A state playoffs. She also shot 40% from beyond the three-point line. "I think we had a great year, I really do," said Avery Marsh, who was named all-conference four times and all-state three times while being selected to three all-state tournament teams in basketball. "Although we came up a little short, we really showed how far you can get if you put in the work. You can be better than what people expect." The Lady Wildcats consistently surpassed expectations while she was at the controls. Episcopal Collegiate advanced to the state tournament in three of her four seasons, with the lone exception occurring in her freshman year. The 2019-20 team was also the first Lady Wildcat group to play in a state tournament, while the 24 victories Episcopal Collegiate collected last season were its most ever for a single season. Those milestones are significant for a team that struggled for years just trying to compete. But competing isn't the only thing the Lady Wildcats are doing now. They go into games expecting to win. "I think we set a good precedent for the future teams, especially the group coming up because of how young they are," Avery Marsh said. "Hard work can take a team far, and I think [Episcopal Collegiate] really appreciates that. Since it's so small, everyone knows you. In the hallways, everyone is wishing you good luck, telling you good game, and all of that. "Everyone is in your corner and is cheering you on. So we wanted to always go out and do the very best we could." Micah Marsh said he expects more of the same out of Avery once she gets to Rhodes. The Lynx are coming off a season where they finished 23-3 and reached the NCAA Division III Tournament. "I think she'll be fine," Micah Marsh said. "She's just that type. She'll finally be able to concentrate on one sport, which I think will really help her grow. "But with her drive and competitiveness, she's going to find her way on the floor and find her way playing. That's just her." Before she officially makes the trek to Memphis to start her collegiate career, Avery Marsh has one last business venture to take care off. "I'm super excited to be playing [in the all-star game], but it's definitely kind of bittersweet," she said. "I've had a great high school career, and it's really been fun playing even though I'm not playing for my dad in this game. Even having that experience, playing for him, has been great. "It's going to be a little more sad for me than it would be in other games, but I'm still excited about it."

TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Charley Hoffman and Mark Hubbard each had 13 points in the modified Stableford scoring system to share the first-round lead in the Barracuda Championship. Hoffman and Hubbard each had seven birdies and a bogey at Tahoe Mountain Club in the second of two straight U.S. events co-sanctioned by the European tour. Players receive eight points for albatross, five for eagle and two for birdie. A point is deducted for bogey and three taken away for double bogey or worse. Hoffman closed his afternoon round with a birdie on the par-4 ninth. The 45-year-old former UNLV player has four PGA Tour victories. “It’s just nice to be able to play golf,” said Hoffman, coming off a tie for 69th last week in the Scottish Open. “This year has been a tough year, with back issues. Back feels OK, so when it feels OK I want to play, so that’s why I’m playing. ” The 33-year-old Hubbard is winless on the PGA Tour. He was third last week in Kentucky in the Barbasol Championship. “I feel comfortable out here.” Hubbard said. “I’m from Colorado. I’m good with elevation, went to school (San Jose State) two hours from here, so it kind of feels like a home event, anyway.” Brice Garnett, Sean Crocker and Aaron Cockerill were tied for third with 12 points. Maverick McNealy was at 11 with Henrik Norlander, Michael Gligic, Callum Tarren and Jim Knous. Former Pepperdine player Joe Highsmith had seven points in his first PGA Tour start as a professional. He’s playing on a sponsor exemption.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA told teams Friday that Damian Lillard and his agent confirmed that the All-Star guard would honor his contract in any potential trade, despite the agent saying Lillard only wanted to be dealt to the Miami Heat. A memo sent to general managers and obtained by The Associated Press also warned that Lillard would be subject to discipline by the league if he or Aaron Goodwin make additional comments suggesting he won’t fully perform the requirements of his contract in the event of a trade. Lillard told the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this month he wanted to be traded and Goodwin subsequently made clear his preference was Miami. “Dame’s position won’t change,” Goodwin told AP on July 6. “This entire situation was about building an opportunity for Portland to win or giving him another opportunity that he wants, which is Miami.” The league said it interviewed Lillard and Goodwin, along with several teams with whom Goodwin spoke. Goodwin denied telling teams that Lillard would refuse to play for them and the teams provided descriptions that were “mostly, though not entirely, consistent with Goodwin’s statements to us.” Players are not allowed to publicly request trades. The league also stated in the memo that it told the Players Association that further comments such as Goodwin’s will be subject to discipline. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

(iSeeCars) — Used car prices have increased as a result of changes in consumer behavior, supply chain issues, and other effects of the pandemic; however, household incomes and wage growth have not grown at the same rate. According to the latest iSeeCars.com analysis, these used car price increases have resulted in a 26.7% drop in used car affordability from August 2019 to August 2022. Used Cars That Have Dropped the Most in Affordability in Each State iSeeCars determined the used cars that have had the most significant decreases in affordability in each state. - The used car that has dropped the most in affordability in the most states is the Honda Accord in eight states. - The used car that is priced the highest above the used car affordability threshold is the Nissan LEAF in Florida at 55.5 percent. More from iSeeCars: Methodology iSeeCars calculated its Car Affordability Index for new and used cars monthly from April 2019 to August 2022. The Car Affordability Index was calculated as the ratio between median household income (obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) one-year estimates and projected using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Earnings reports) and an idealized income for car payments, based on new cars’ and three-year-old used cars’ pricing. An index of 100 means the idealized income for car payments exactly matches household income; values above 100 mean household income is greater than the idealized income for car payments, while values below 100 mean household income is less than the idealized income. Car payments were estimated using Bankrate.com’s published auto loan interest rates and loan terms, and the idealized household income was estimated assuming car payments should be no more than 10% of a household’s annual income. The iSeeCars Car Affordability Index was calculated for new and three-year-old used cars both nationally, by state, and by the Census Bureau’s Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).

The Tesla Model Y took the top sales spot in the German vehicle market in September, according to sales numbers reported by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) (via Electrek). Tesla has achieved monthly bestseller status in other countries—such as Norway—but doing so in Germany is significant because the American firm is competing with the established German automakers on their home turf. Tesla delivered 9,848 Model Y crossovers in Germany in September, making the Model Y the country’s bestselling vehicle that month. The Model Y beat the perennial favorite Volkswagen Golf, which managed just over 7,000 deliveries in September. In addition, German Model 3 deliveries totaled 3,878 units in September. Tesla has been looking to grow sales volume in Europe with its Giga Berlin factory, which the automaker announced in 2019. The first production cars from this factory, located just outside the German capital, were delivered in March. Tesla CEO Elon Musk saw the Model Y becoming a global bestseller in 2022—and this is a point that’s proving itself out. Tesla has arguably shaved away a big piece of the market previously held by German premium brands. It topped a 10% market share in California in the fourth quarter of 2021, and nearly a third of U.S. EV buyers are getting a Model Y. Fleet buyers now make up a significant share of Tesla’s sales as well. Subscription service Autonomy and Hertz are among the companies that have added to Tesla’s EV sales lead. Established automakers generally discount fleet sales, considering them less important than retail sales. It’s unclear if Tesla or its supporters are making that distinction.

Royals help drive record-setting crowd attendance for 2022 IPL Final, and setting the stage for a $6bn bid for broadcast media rights. PHOENIX, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US Royals Consortium, a minority partner of the Rajasthan Royals, announces the team's rise to second place amongst 10 franchises in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In addition to an eventful season and coveted ranking, the IPL 2022 final between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad set a new record attendance for a cricket match, attracting a crowd of 104,859 at the world's largest cricket ground. The continued surge in cricket's global popularity drove broadcast rights for India's top cricket league to sell for $6.2 Billion in a three-day online auction in a deal that establishes the IPL as one of the most valuable sporting entities in the world yielding a value per game second only to the National Football League. Champions of the inaugural edition, Rajasthan Royals, have attracted investment from US elite athletes Chris Paul and Larry Fitzgerald and Kelvin Beachum. The trio have come on board as part of the Royals US Consortium making them minority investors in the franchise and helping bring awareness to the sport. The global interest in cricket is also illustrated by the recent addition of the two new IPL teams that were sold for a cumulative ~$1.7bn. "The team's fearless approach on the field is a true inspiration," Simer Mayo, one of the US Royal Consortium's lead investors. "The Royals' nail-biting finishes, fueled by star players Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal, provided unforgettable memories. We congratulate them on a successful IPL season and their second place ranking." While Rajasthan Royals lost in the IPL 2022 final, its star players Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal became the third pair in IPL history to win the Orange Cap and Purple Cap, respectively from the same franchise. It is only the third time in the history of the IPL that the highest run-scorer and highest wicket-taker of a season have been from the same team. The IPL garnered the attention of global media giants battling for a five-year contract. Disney-owned Star India acquired the TV rights for the league for $3.01 billion while the online streaming rights were acquired by Viacom18—a joint venture between Paramount and billionaire Mukesh Ambani-owned TV18 for $3.04 billion, according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).The IPL annual multi-week tournament draws more than half-a-billion viewers, trailing only English soccer and the National Football League in popularity globally, according to BCCI. Through the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has evolved into an all-encompassing entity that attracts both in-person attendance and viewership from across the globe, especially in cricket-obsessed nation of India's 1.4 billion people. The Royals added another first to their list of accolades with their IPL final with the record-setting crowd of 104,859, according to organizers at Narendra Modi Stadium. The largest crowd in one-day matches was previously listed as 100,000 in Kolkata in the 1990s and early 2000 but the highest official figure for a limited-overs match was the 87,812 people at the 1992 50-over World Cup final between Pakistan and England in Melbourne. The Rajasthan Royals are on a mission to "Transform Society through Cricket, and Cricket through Innovation". The global sports franchise believes that royalty is not something one inherits, it is something that is to be earned. This 'Spirit of Royalty' is what sets the Royals apart resulting in a series of firsts, including the first team to lift an IPL trophy; the first player to win the MVP award in an IPL; and the first to win this award the maximum number of times in the history of the IPL, Shane Watson. This pioneering approach extends to the digital realm as well with the designated YouTube Channel in November 2008. The Rajasthan Royals are committed to driving talent at the highest level across every level of the organization, fueled with recent investment from "Moneyball" Billy Beane and Redbird Capital.

NEW YORK, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) (NYSE: IIPR-PA) between May 7, 2020 and April 13, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important June 24, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action commenced by the Firm. SO WHAT: If you purchased Innovative Industrial Properties securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Innovative Industrial Properties class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5301 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 24, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that Innovative Industrial Properties' focus is to be a cannabis company lender rather than a real estate investment trust (REIT); (2) that the true values of Innovative Industrial Properties' properties are significantly lower than Innovative Industrial Properties represents; (3) existential issues in its top customers; (4) that as a result, its top customers may not be able to continue making payments to Innovative Industrial Properties and Innovative Industrial Properties would face significant issues replacing these customers; and (5) that as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Innovative Industrial Properties class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5301 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

What are the bestselling velvet products? It’s never the wrong season for velvet, especially when it’s one of the year’s biggest trends. While velvet accents and hints of the textured fabric never really go out of style, the luxurious material is proving that it’s here to stay. Not only is velvet taking over designer runways and dominating the pages of home decor magazines, but it’s also adorning celebrities from head to toe. And it’s not too late to jump on the bandwagon. So, whether you’re fully embracing the new trend or want to slowly incorporate the buttery fabric into your wardrobe and home, here are the bestselling velvet products for every part of your life. What is velvet? Historically, velvet has origins of luxury and was originally made of silk. Because silk was a material only the rich and affluent could afford, velvet was only worn by the wealthy or royalty. To this day, velvet is considered a soft and luxurious material, although it’s much more affordable. Now velvet is made using cotton, linen, wool and synthetic fibers. You can find velvet products of every type and cost, from designer clothing to budget shoes to luxurious home decor. Instead of the common flat woven fabrics, such as linen, velvet is characterized by a dense, short pile that contributes to its soft feel and shiny appearance. How to care for velvet Velvet has a reputation for being difficult to take care of and properly maintain. Because it’s not a flat woven material, it can flatten or become matted if it’s handled incorrectly. However, the rules for cleaning velvet are relatively straightforward, depending on the type of velvet. The key is to be gentle and keep it simple. Here are a few general tips to help you properly care for most types of velvet: - For clothing, always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions. However, pure velvet is almost always dry-clean only, while most polyester or crushed velvet can be machine-washed in cold water. - To remove debris or dust from furniture or purses, use a fabric brush or handheld vacuum with a soft bristle attachment going in the direction of the nap. - Spot clean velvet with a damp towel and mild soap if necessary, but don’t soak velvet. Also, don’t use harsh chemicals. - Never iron velvet. Instead, use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles or revive the nap.

TIPTON, Ind. — We might not be painting pros, but it helps to look the part, right? Indy Now Hosts Jillian Deam and Ryan Ahlwardt took the assignment one step further than necessary, as we tend to do, by transforming themselves into superhero versions of painters. We dropped by Heritage Custom Painting’s job in Tipton to talk to Owners Jason Humrichous and Jason Finney about how they help clients choose the right color, how long a typical project takes, and how the warranty process works. Humrichous said the hardest thing for many clients is choosing a color. Looking at a swatch is enough for some customers, while others need a second or third opinion or a computer rending of the final look to feel confident in their choice. Finney said Heritage guarantees their work and covers anything that might go wrong with the painting job. Rather than waiting for your call, the company reaches out after 30 days, 90 days and even a year to make sure you’re happy. Heritage Custom Painting is based in Tipton but works throughout Central Indiana painting exteriors, interiors and cabinets.

PLACER COUNTY, Calif. (KTXL) – A car became airborne and crashed into the second story of a home in California, according to photos shared by CAL FIRE officials. Firefighters with the Placer County Fire Department, along with CAL FIRE officials, responded to the scene of the crash on Sunday, CAL FIRE’s Nevada Yuba Placer Unit confirmed. PG&E shut off power to the area while crews worked to stabilize the roof of the home’s carport and rescue the driver of the car. With the assistance of a rope system, a CAL FIRE Technical Rescue Team removed the vehicle’s single occupant, who was handed off to an emergency medical team waiting in the home’s second story. There were no other injuries “to the occupants of the home or first responders,” CAL FIRE wrote. Officials had not publicly commented on the cause of the crash, though commenters on CAL FIRE’s social media account put forth their own theories. “Looks like the car flew up then came down on part of the roof as it went through the window,” one wrote. “Had to be speeding to fly that far and hit that hard.” “Praying the occupant of the car was not having a medical issue,” another wrote. “This is one of the more bizarre accidents of late. Sitting here with my coffee and imagining a car flying through the window to my immediate left! Unreal!” Sunday’s accident in Placer County also came just days after a similar crash in North Carolina, when a driver went airborne and crashed into the roof of a home in Yadkinville after losing control of the car and speeding over a parked car like a ramp, official said.

DEAR ABBY: My wife has been away for a while caring for her ill parents. Because I was alone, I decided to experiment with wearing women’s clothes and found that I really enjoyed wearing leggings. They make very comfortable pajamas. I also found that sports bras not only provide compression that feels good, but also serve a purpose because I have rather enlarged breasts. Should I hide everything and put away my leggings and bras, or should I let her in on some of my secrets? -- DRESSED UP IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DRESSED UP: I’m not sure what other “secrets” you have been hiding, but if they involve cross-dressing, you’re not the only man who has discovered he enjoys wearing women’s clothes. It may surprise you to know their wives help them do it. Your reasons for wanting to wear a sports bra and leggings seem practical. I see no reason to try to hide it from your wife. DEAR ABBY: I’m a widow. I totaled my car four months ago and asked a friend, “Stan,” for the type of help my husband would have provided. Stan was great and did so much. I felt bad that he refused my offer of money, so one day I took him out to lunch. A few weeks later, he invited me to dinner and took me to my favorite steakhouse. He and his longtime girlfriend were parting ways because she was selling her home and moving to live with her son. We started going out to eat once or twice a week. Abby, after two months, he disappeared! I think I fell in love with him without even realizing it. Now he’s gone every weekend, and I’m in so much pain. I am trying to set myself free. How could I fall in love so easily? -- WASN’T EXPECTING THAT DEAR WASN’T EXPECTING: You were vulnerable, and Stan was there and seemed willing to step in and fill the void left by your husband’s death. That’s how you fell in love with someone who was, I assume, a longtime trusted friend. Stan may have met someone, have other commitments or felt unready to make one with you. That he hasn’t given you a reason for his disappearance is disappointing, but it happens. Please don’t beat yourself up over this. You did nothing wrong. These disappointments are a part of life. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married to a verbally abusive woman for 49 years. To the outside world she seems perfect, but behind closed doors she’s nasty. She overreacts angrily to the tiniest problem and jumps down my throat when I ask her the simplest question. She complains about my poor memory and hearing. I am 75 and in good shape except for a belly, which she often makes fun of. I have recommended couples therapy, but she refuses to go. Please help me. -- EXHAUSTED IN ARIZONA DEAR EXHAUSTED: Therapy would be a good idea. Because your wife refuses to go, it might benefit you to talk to a mental health professional. While it won’t solve her problems, it could help you get to the bottom of yours. Chief among them would be figuring out the reason you have tolerated your wife’s verbal abuse for nearly half a century, and deciding what, if anything, to do about it. Please don’t wait. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

US releases Guantanamo prisoner once tortured at CIA sites By ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A onetime al-Qaida courier has been released after serving more than 16 years at the Guantanamo Bay detention center and enduring torture at clandestine overseas CIA sites. The Pentagon has announced the release of Pakistan citizen Majid Khan, who grew up in Baltimore. Khan is now in Belize after that Central American nation reached agreement with the Biden administration to take him. Khan admitted serving as a courier and helping plan plots that were never carried out. In a statement through his legal team, Khan expressed his deep regret. Khan’s lawyers said he should have been freed last February under a pretrial agreement.

(The Hill) — Former President Donald Trump recorded a video released on Wednesday encouraging Republicans to vote early, coming one week after he offered muddled messaging over the strategy. The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a “Bank Your Vote” campaign last month in an effort to encourage Republicans to vote early. The initiative aims to educate GOP voters on absentee voting, ballot collection and in-person early voting. Trump offered his strongest support yet of early voting in a roughly 40-second video shared by the RNC. “The RNC is leading the fight to help secure your vote in 2024 as well. They’re fighting bad Democrat laws, putting folks on the ground to serve as poll workers and poll watchers and engaging attorneys to monitor every step of the voting process,” Trump said. “We must defeat the far left at their own game or our country will never recover from this disastrous crooked Biden administration. Sign up at bankyourvote.com now and join the Republican effort to win big in 2024. We’re going to win and we’re going to make America great again,” he added. The video comes one week after Trump offered muddled messaging on early voting during a town hall interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. While the former president said he would encourage early voting, he also cast doubt on the process, alleging that people create “phony ballots” and that ballots can get lost. Unsupported claims about fraud in early and absentee voting have been a key theme in Trump’s ongoing and erroneous claims that the 2020 election was stolen. But Republicans are increasingly turning to early voting as they look to close the gap against Democrats in competitive races, especially after a disappointing 2022 election cycle in which the party failed to take back control of the Senate and won only a narrow majority in the House. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and a handful of groups have joined forces in Virginia to launch a separate initiative aimed at encouraging early voting ahead of the state’s legislature races this fall.

BEIJING (AP) — Factories in China’s southwest have shut down after reservoirs used to generate hydropower ran low in a worsening drought, adding to economic strains at a time when President Xi Jinping is trying to extend his position in power. Companies in Sichuan province including makers of solar panels, cement and urea closed or reduced production after they were ordered to ration power for up to five days, according to news reports Wednesday. That came after reservoir levels fell and power demand for air conditioning surged in scorching temperatures. “Leave power for the people,” said an order from the provincial government dated Tuesday. The shutdowns add to challenges for the ruling Communist Party as Xi, the country's most powerful leader in decades, prepares to try to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as leader at a meeting in October or November. Growth in factory output and retail sales weakened in July, setting back China’s economic recovery after Shanghai and other industrial centers were shut down starting in late March to fight virus outbreaks. The economy grew by just 2.5% over a year earlier in the first half of 2022, less than half the official annual goal of 5.5%. Areas across central and northern China ordered emergency measures to ensure drinking water supplies after summer rain was as little as half normal levels. The official Xinhua News Agency said firetrucks carried water to two dry villages near Chongqing in the southwest. Hundreds of thousands of hectares (acres) of crops across central and northern China have wilted due to lack of water and high temperatures, according to the government. Some areas have reported the summer growing season a failure. The weather agency has warned temperatures in some areas could spike to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). In Sichuan, which has 94 million people, water levels at hydropower reservoirs are down by as much as half this month, according to the Sichuan Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology. A subsidiary of Guoguang Co., Ltd. that makes pesticide and fertilizer closed from Monday through at least Saturday, according to a company announcement through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Makers of solar power equipment in Sichuan including Tongwei Solar Co. Ltd. and GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Ltd. said they received notices to ration power. Tongwei said the “power cut and production shutdown have not had much impact," the business news outlet East Money reported. China faced similar strains last year when Guangdong province in the southeast, one of the world's most important manufacturing centers, ordered factories to shut down after hydropower reservoirs ran low due to sparse rain. The government has allocated 280 million yuan ($41 million) for drought relief in Hebei and Shanxi provinces and the Inner Mongolia region in the north and Liaoning province in the northeast, according to Xinhua. “Some small and medium-size rivers are so dry that they have stopped flowing,” the report said. Meanwhile, authorities on Tuesday warned some parts of the country face possible flooding from heavy rains forecast in areas from the northwest across Inner Mongolia to the northeast.

EMERY, Utah, Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rose Bowl Stadium, since opening its gates in 1922 has played host to a plethora of events including the annual Rose Bowl Game®, UCLA football, international and friendly soccer matches and more concerts than can be counted. While the view of the San Gabriel Mountains is breathtaking and setting is undeniably one of the best in sports, it's the field that makes headlines year in and out. There is something undeniable about the grass whether watching a game in person or viewing it on TV from the comfort of your home, it's pristine. For the past 16 years, the Rose Bowl Stadium has been using Live Earth Products' Humate Soil Conditioner to improve the soil and retain fertilizer, keeping the turf green and lush. World Soil Day is December 5th and a great opportunity to celebrate how healthy soil leads to tough turf. Live Earth Soil Conditioner is applied at the Rose Bowl Stadium before sodding. It increases soil carbon and organic matter, improves nutrient uptake for healthy lawns, and sets the groundwork for a win. "As manager of one of the most prestigious sports venues in the world, my field not only has to look great, but it also has to perform great," said Rose Bowl Field Superintendent, Miguel Yepez. "Live Earth Products, Inc. has improved the health of the Rose Bowl soil. These products have served to increase the recovery from the wear and tear the field sustains on a weekly basis. The field not only shows well, but it also provides the consistent performance surface for the athletes that play at America's Stadium." "Managing plant stress is vital to successful sports turf. The key to grass recovery is improving the soil to make a better environment to handle water and retain essential nutrients," said Live Earth Products' Russell Taylor. "Tough turf starts at the roots. Improving soil health will assure a strong and heathy root system." Live Earth's Humate Soil Conditioner is mined from an ancient plant deposit called humic shale. It contains essential components of soil organic matter, like humic and fulvic acid which are abundant in healthy soils. Increased soil organic matter improves nutrient availability to plants and helps them store available water, which supports healthy plant growth. "By nourishing the soil first, we are feeding our turf naturally," said Taylor. "We are bringing the concepts of regenerative landscaping into the conversation and that is definitely a winning strategy, especially as we battle a changing climate and look for greener, more sustainable solutions to better our earth." LIVE EARTH Located in Emery, Utah, Live Earth Products, Inc. mines and manufactures humic acid and fulvic acid-based products. The humic-based ingredients manufactured by Live Earth are used in agriculture, animal feeds, cosmetics, dietary supplements, balneotherapy, bioremediation, organic gardening, and lawn care.

NAOMI CAMPBELL STARS IN CAMPAIGN CAPTURED BY RENELL MEDRANO, SET TO THE ICONIC TRACK BY BRANDY & MONICA LONDON, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Han Chong, Founder and Creative Director of London based fashion brand self-portrait, has collaborated with Renell Medrano, Haley Wollens and Naomi Campbell to pay homage to the 90's - an era which continually influences and inspires the brand - to bring the attitude and sensibility of self-portrait's debut collection of bags to life. The Bow Is Mine Rooted in the mood of an inspirational time in fashion and creative cultural history, the video-led campaign is set to the original 90's iconic hit record "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy & Monica. Directed and captured by Renell Medrano, Naomi Campbell takes on the confident and provocative leading role, alongside her Bow Bag. The Shoot Shot in a private house in London across a series of rooms, the film presents a sequence of imagined telephone conversations with only one thing known for certain: the Bow is hers. Styled by Haley Wollens, Naomi wears pieces from self-portrait's upcoming Autumn/Winter 2022 collection including a sequinned two-piece skirt and crop top, power mesh long sleeve gown and knitted midi dress. The full campaign includes seven images, a series of short vignettes and a 60 second film. The Bow Bag Inspired by the ease and freedom associated with the self-portrait brand, the Bow Bag debuts with two styles - the Bow Mini and the Bow Micro. "When thinking about how to launch the Bow Bag, I was feeling quite nostalgic and reflective of the past and kept being drawn to the nineties, an era when fashion was sweet yet tough, and heavily influenced by music. The origins for this campaign came from such a simple idea born out of a play on words with the name of our new bag. Given the ambition, it could have been impossibly challenging, but I was so honoured when everyone jumped on board to make it a reality - from creative ingenues Renell and Haley, to the legendary Naomi who stars as our leading lady and to Brandy and Monica for allowing us to use their iconic track to bring our dream video to life. There is only one person I knew would be able to fill the role of our lead for this video…Naomi defines not only the era we are paying tribute to through this project, but she represents everything the self-portrait woman stands for - she's strong, independent, provocative, and always authentically herself." - Han Chong, self-portrait Founder and Creative Director "Being British it's always important to me to support talented creatives from my own country especially those that celebrate women in the way self-portrait does. Collaborating with Han, Renell and Haley on my first campaign for the house was a great experience both culturally and creatively which made the experience feel nostalgic of an era when it was all about storytelling through the image." - Naomi Campbell The Bow Bag collection is available to purchase at self-portrait.com, in self-portrait stores around the world, including the brand's flagship store in London, and across its global network of partner retailers.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — A perfect regular season isn’t good enough for Stetson Bennett and No. 1 Georgia. Bennett threw two touchdown passes and Georgia completed back-to-back undefeated regular seasons for the first time in school history by overcoming a slow start to beat Georgia Tech 37-14 on Saturday. “It is special,” said Bennett of the undefeated regular season, “but we didn’t enter this season trying to go 12-0. We want to go 15-0.” Georgia (No. 1 CFP) was down 7-0 early and led only 10-7 at halftime. Then the Bulldogs overpowered the Yellow Jackets (5-7) with their running game to score 37 unanswered points and notch their fifth consecutive win in the state rivalry. The defending national champion Bulldogs are in good position to retain their top College Football Playoff ranking entering next week’s Southeastern Conference championship game against No. 6 LSU. Kenny McIntosh and Kendall Milton ran for touchdowns. Georgia outrushed Georgia Tech 264-40. “Every drive we ran the ball, the running backs stepped up and answered the bell,” McIntosh said. The slow start was frustrating for Bennett, but the senior couldn’t complain about the finish in his final home game. “I really wasn’t happy with the way we started today but we still scored 37,” Bennett said. “… We ran the ball really well today.” Mistakes in the third quarter hurt the Yellow Jackets’ chance at spoiling the Bulldogs’ history-making day. Following a low snap, punter David Shanahan was tackled at the Georgia Tech 17. That set up Bennett’s second scoring pass, a 1-yarder to tight end Brock Bowers on a fourth-down play. Georgia Tech freshman running back Jamie Felix’s fumble was recovered by Georgia’s Robert Beal on the Yellow Jackets’ next play, setting up a 36-yard field goal by Jack Podlesny. “We made some mistakes in the second half and couldn’t sustain some drives,” Georgia Tech interim coach Brent Key said. “… We can’t have those in big games like that, especially when you know going into it that it’s going to be a field possession game and they have an explosive offense.” Georgia pulled away in the fourth quarter. Bennett’s 83-yard pass to McIntosh — the Bulldogs’ longest pass of the season — set up McIntosh’s 2-yard scoring run. Milton added a 44-yard scoring run. Georgia Tech became the first team to score a first-quarter touchdown against Georgia this season. Zach Gibson completed a 34-yard pass to Nate McCollum on a fourth and 9 play to the Georgia 7. Backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh’s 7-yard scoring run capped the touchdown drive. The Bulldogs took a 10-7 lead on Bennett’s 5-yard scoring pass to Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the second quarter. It was Georgia’s only pass of a drive that included a 45-yard run by McIntosh. NO QUIT Georgia Tech was 4-4 with Key after Geoff Collins was fired. The Yellow Jackets fell short in their bid to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2018. “As the game went on, we started to wear down a little bit,” Key said. “… Credit to Georgia and their football team. I didn’t see any quit on our team.” HONORING DOOLEY The key piece of Smart’s quick wardrobe change before his postgame news conference was a tie often worn in games by former longtime coach Vince Dooley, who died on Oct. 28 at the age of 90. Following a celebration of life for Dooley on Friday night at Georgia’s Stegeman Coliseum, Smart was given the tie by Dooley’s family. “He did it right for so many games,” said Smart of Dooley, whose record was 201-77-10 while coaching the Bulldogs from 1964 to 1988, including six SEC titles and the 1980 national championship. Smart said he didn’t wear the Dooley tribute attire — including white shirt and sweater without his normal visor — during the game because he didn’t want to take attention away from his seniors. THE TAKEAWAY Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets again showed the progress they’ve made under Key. One year ago, the team’s third consecutive three-win season ended with a 45-0 loss to Georgia. After beating two Top 25 teams — Pittsburgh and North Carolina — on the road under Key, Georgia Tech was competitive for at least one half against the Bulldogs. Gibson, the Yellow Jackets’ third starting quarterback, showed good poise against the nation’s top scoring defense, completing 19 of 35 passes for 191 yards. Georgia: The Bulldogs demonstrated resiliency. Bennett avoided mistakes while McIntosh showed his versatility by posting game-leading totals of 86 rushing yards and 91 receiving yards on two catches. Bennett completed 10 of 18 passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns and had five carries for 21 yards. POLL IMPLICATIONS Georgia should protect its No. 1 positions in the AP Top 25 and College Football Playoff ranking. UP NEXT Georgia Tech: Opens its 2023 season against Louisville on Sept. 2 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Georgia: Plays in the SEC championship game for the fifth time in six years when it faces No. 6 LSU next Saturday in Atlanta. ___ More AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25 Sign up for the AP’s college football newsletter: https://apnews.com/cfbtop25

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is seizing the moment in debt ceiling negotiations, staying out front in public messaging as he pushed the White House to change its debt limit posture while also keeping the right flank in his conference satisfied — for now. Negotiators have yet to reach a deal and political dynamics could easily change depending on its final form – and a bumpy weekend in the talks pose another challenge for him. But McCarthy’s public relations strategy on the debt limit has seen results so far. McCarthy united his far-flung conference to pass a bill that paired a debt limit increase with spending cuts and other GOP priorities. Shortly after, President Biden backed away from his no-negotiations stance and invited McCarthy and other congressional leaders to meet – though the White House has continued to frame the talks as a negotiation on the budget separate from the debt limit. And after McCarthy expressed pessimism about how those talks were going, the structure of discussions was narrowed to be between just his deputies and the White House, cutting out congressional Democrats and Senate Republicans. House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who some previously thought might have to step in to negotiate a compromise, has thrown his full support behind the Speaker to negotiate a deal. The Speaker is holding frequent press conferences, gaggles, and TV interviews to advocate for spending cuts and policy reforms as a condition of raising the debt limit, a contrast to the press-shy President Biden. Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) said that he was “pretty impressed with his press conference” on Wednesday that featured Republicans from both chambers. A source familiar with McCarthy’s strategy said that his decision to be in front of the media show his confidence in his policy asks and that the public will back him up in those. McCarthy embraces an underdog, House GOP vs. the world message. “Here’s a Republican conference that none of you gave credibility to or thought we could achieve anything,” McCarthy said Tuesday. With the talks amping up this week, the White House has appeared to back away from its longtime stance that it wants a “clean increase” without any other conditions, though it has still framed the negotiations in terms of the budget rather than the debt limit. “He has the bully pulpit of the Speakership,” Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) said of McCarthy’s messaging in contrast to the Democrats. “We always struggle to get our message amplified.” Public opinion surveys have not shown that Democratic attacks on Republicans for holding the economy “hostage” with their debt limit demands are swaying the electorate in their favor. A May 17-18 Harvard/Harris poll found that 57 percent of voters think Democrats should cave their position to prevent a default, up from 55 percent in April, while 43 percent said Republicans should cave. Meanwhile, Economist/YouGov polls have found that McCarthy’s net job approval rating has dramatically improved since he was elected Speaker in a dramatic 15-ballot saga in January. A May 13-16 survey found that 42 percent of adults approved of the way McCarthy was handling his job as Speaker while 34 percent disapproved while 24 percent were not sure. In a January 21-24 survey, just 32 percent approved while 37 percent disapproved and 32 percent were not sure. And some Democratic messaging on the negotiations has conflicted. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Monday that the GOP’s request for beefed-up work requirements for public assistance programs was a “nonstarter.” But later in the week, Biden signaled willingness to compromise on work requirements, though rejected any kind of significant change. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said that she was being “watchful” of the White House in the negotiations now that congressional Democrats have been cut out of the room. “The President’s done such a phenomenal job of leading the country over the last two years and keeping Democrats united behind core Democratic values, and I would urge them to continue to do so,” Jayapal said. Some progressive Democrats have continued to hold out hope for a “clean” debt limit increase. “I want to believe that the White House is holding firm to its commitments, and our values,” Huffman said. Several Democrats suggest Biden could test a 14th Amendment strategy to raise the debt limit unilaterally without the help of Congress. While Biden said over the weekend that he thinks he has the authority to do so, he warned that there may not be enough time to invoke that authority, have it litigated, and avoid a default. House Democrats have also filed a escape-hatch discharge petition plan to force a vote on a clean debt ceiling increase – though that would need support from at least five Republicans, who have shown no willingness to help. McCarthy is not out of the woods yet, though. It is unclear whether he will be able to secure a compromise that appeases the right flank of his conference – some of whom expect nothing less than the sweeping policy reforms and cuts that they passed in their April debt limit bill. And others are trying to throw more policy proposals, like beefed up border security measures, into the mix. Political observers note that it takes just one GOP member to call a motion to vacate the chair and force a vote on ousting the Speaker. But hardline conservatives insist that is not being considered right now, signaling that McCarthy still has their support as negotiations continue. “I’ve heard anybody talking about motion to vacate except for reporters who asked me about that,” said Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), one of the 20 hardline conservatives who withheld support from McCarthy during the Speaker’s election. However, the conservative House Freedom Caucus on Thursday threw another wrinkle in the mix when it called for “no further discussion” on the debt ceiling, pressuring the Senate to pass the House GOP bill. That position became cloudy, though, when the group’s chairman Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) later said the position did not mean McCarthy and the White House should not talk at all. And on Friday McCarthy hit pause on debt limit talks for much of the day as his top negotiator, Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), said the White House was being “unreasonable.” The talks resumed that evening, but made little progress before McCarthy is set to meet with Biden on Monday. That threw another wildcard into the mix: Former President Donald Trump. “REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT MAKE A DEAL ON THE DEBT CEILING UNLESS THEY GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT (Including the “kitchen sink”),” the former president wrote on Truth Social on Friday. McCarthy had been careful to not contradict Trump earlier in the week when asked to respond to the former president downplaying the potential economic consequences of a default. “I think President Trump is a great negotiator. And I think that President Trump when does that, he’s trying to help the negotiation,” McCarthy said.

Following some extended struggles on the road against the Chicago Cubs, the Pittsburgh Pirates have enjoyed success at Wrigley Field this season. Looking for a fifth win in eight games on Chicago’s north side this year, the Pirates aim to keep the Cubs from a season-high fifth straight victory on Monday night. From 2019 to 2021, Pittsburgh batted .239 and posted a 6.54 ERA while going 3-19 against the Cubs in Chicago. However, the Pirates are 4-3 this season at Wrigley and return to Chicago for this brief two-game set looking to get back on track after dropping two of three at home to Miami. The Pirates have averaged 2.9 runs while going 2-6 after winning four in a row, but their starting pitchers have a 2.65 ERA in the last seven road contests. Scheduled Pittsburgh starter JT Brubaker (2-8, 4.02 ERA) is 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA in three 2022 starts against the Cubs and is coming off his best start of the season. On July 13 at Miami, Brubaker yielded three hits and two walks while fanning nine over seven scoreless innings. “I think he found himself in a groove and a really good rhythm, and went right after guys,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “We see him go out with his stuff, and he pitches off of what he has that night — which is definitely an evolution for a pitcher.” Chicago All-Star (and potential trade chip) Ian Happ is 6-for-18 with three doubles versus Brubaker, while teammates Frank Schwindel and Rafael Ortega are a combined 9-for-17 against him. Happ, a Pittsburgh native, is 14-for-33 with four doubles, three homers and nine RBIs during a nine-game hitting streak against the Pirates this season. After beating the New York Mets 3-2 on July 17 to snap a nine-game losing streak, the Cubs returned from the All-Star break to outscore the Phillies 25-7 during a three-game sweep at Philadelphia. “It feels good, we’re trying to win them all,” said Chicago manager David Ross after his club’s first series sweep of the season. “It’s just nice to put some wins together. Momentum is good. Wins are good. … Wins can turn into more wins.” Chicago rookie Nelson Velazquez went 4-for-6 with three homers and seven RBIs at Philadelphia on the weekend. He’s 2-for-5 with a double and three walks versus Pittsburgh this season. Scheduled Cubs starter Adrian Sampson (0-1, 3.34 ERA), who has a 4.05 ERA in five 2022 starts, will face the Pirates for the first time this season. In his most recent outing against the Mets in that July 17 contest, the right-hander allowed two runs, six hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. Pittsburgh’s Michael Chavis homered versus Sampson and is 5-for-9 in the Pirates’ last three games at Wrigley. –Field Level Media

Jackson film maker releases new movie “The Reaper Man” JACKSON, Tenn.–A Jackson resident is releasing a new movie to the world. Jaron Lockridge wrote, directed, and produced his film, “The Reaper Man”. The film follows a widow as she seeks the help of a local woman with a reputation for performing witchcraft in the hopes of bringing her husband back. However, sometimes what you wish for doesn’t go the way you expect. “In it’s core, “The Reaper Man” is a story about revenge, but underneath all of that is this cool love story. You wouldn’t think of having a love story in a horror film but it’s this cool love story about these two people who were just so devoted to each other and I think that’s something that makes it different,” said Lockridge. “The Reaper Man” was released on April 18. You can see the movie for yourself on Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play, and Youtube. Lockridge says he is always looking for talent in the Hub City. If you are interested in being an actor, you can look for his Facebook group “Misguided Perceptions Media Group.”

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate ROCCA DI PAPA, Italy (AP) — The findings of an initial expert report were astonishing: One of the 20th century’s revered Catholic leaders, who built an international movement of community care for people with intellectual disabilities, perverted Catholic doctrine about Jesus and Mary to justify his own sexual compulsions and abuse women. The findings of a second report were even worse: The movement he created had at its core a secret, mystical-sexual “sect,” and was founded for the precise purpose of hiding the sect’s deviant activities from church authorities. The two rounds of revelations about Jean Vanier and the L’Arche federation he founded have rocked the group to its core, all the more because L'Arche itself commissioned independent scholars to investigate after receiving a first complaint from a victim a few years before Vanier died in 2019. It’s the latest case of a Catholic giant, considered a living saint by his admirers and eulogized as a “great” Christian by Pope Francis, falling to revelations that he abused his power to sexually exploit women under his spiritual sway. L’Arche’s national and regional leaders have been meeting for the past week in the hills outside Rome for the first time since the latest revelations to chart a path forward, now that their official history has been shown to be a lie and their hero-founder Vanier a narcissistic and delusional abuser. Emotions were still raw, as L’Arche’s most devoted staff processed the gravity of Vanier’s deceptions and what it means for the organization’s future, according to interviews at the retreat with The Associated Press. “I believed in something, in a vision that then is revealed to you and you’re told it’s not like that,” said Azucena Bustamante, who oversees five L’Arche communities in Honduras, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. “It does frustrate me — the damage it has caused to a lot of people who believed in this, and then found out everything we were made to believe, it’s a lie.” ___ Vanier, a former Canadian and Royal Navy officer, founded L’Arche in 1964 in northern France. He initially invited two intellectually disabled men to live with him, then built the utopian-style, Catholic-inspired community into an international movement bringing people with and without disabilities to live together in a spirit of mutual respect. Born to socially prominent, religiously devout parents — his father was governor general of Canada — Vanier arrived at his calling after having joined a spiritual community, L’Eau Vive, in 1950 that was founded by a French Dominican priest, the Rev. Thomas Philippe. According to the investigative reports, it was at L’Eau Vive that Vanier fell under Philippe’s spell and was initiated into the priest’s mystical-sexual practices. Philippe developed his twisted theology after experiencing what he called a mystical “grace” one night in 1938 in Rome, while looking at a fresco of the Madonna in the church atop the Spanish Steps. Over time, the “graces” came to involve sexual gratification with women that both Philippe and Vanier justified by claiming that Jesus and Mary were involved in similarly incestuous sexual relationships. The Vatican was informed of Philippe’s deviant practices by two victims in 1952; four years later it sanctioned Philippe for “false mysticism.” The Vatican forbade him from public or private ministry, ordered L’Eau Vive dissolved and its members forbidden from reconstituting the community. But Philippe, Vanier and the women they had manipulated disobeyed, and regularly met in secret, according to private correspondence and church archives only recently made available to the L’Arche-commissioned researchers. Over time, Philippe resumed his priestly ministry as his Dominican superiors ignored the Vatican sanctions, at which point Vanier, a layman, founded L’Arche. The study commission concluded in its January report that Vanier did so as a “screen” to hide the reuniting of the original L’Eau Vive group, even though there was also a sincere commitment to help people who otherwise would have been institutionalized. The study commission identified at least 25 women whom Vanier abused, none of them intellectually disabled. It determined that Vanier and Philippe’s deviant practices didn’t extend beyond the core “sect” at the original community in northern France. But it called for vigilance, especially in the way authority and power are exercised in L'Arche's more than 150 communities in 37 countries. L’Arche’s leaders have apologized to the victims, thanked them for their courage in coming forward, and assumed responsibility for not having spotted the abuses earlier. They say they questioned Vanier repeatedly as soon as the first victims came forward, as well as what he knew about Philippe’s 1956 Holy Office condemnation, but that he lied to them. The nearly 900-page forensic history of the scandal is remarkable, providing perhaps the best documented case of a phenomenon that has existed in the Catholic Church for centuries but is increasingly coming to the public fore: spiritual charlatans using false mysticism to manipulate their victims and abuse them sexually. Significantly, L’Arche was able to obtain a summary report of Phillipe’s 1956 canonical trial, which shows the Vatican was well-versed in the dynamics of abuse of power over women, decades before the #MeToo movement put it in the spotlight. But the researchers, who hailed from a variety of academic disciplines, blamed the Vatican’s secrecy in handling the Philippe case for laying the groundwork for L’Arche's scandal. They found that no one except a few Vatican and Dominican superiors knew of Philippe's deviance or his sanctions, “precisely what allowed him to maintain his reputation for holiness and to rewrite history as he pleased.” One of the Vatican's top experts in abuse prevention, the Rev. Hans Zollner, praised L'Arche for its “fearless” courage in exposing the painful truth about its past and said the phenomenon of spiritual gurus misusing their authority can't be ignored any longer by the church. “Some time back we did not speak about the abuse of power as the root cause of basically every type of abuse, be it sexual, be psychological, be it spiritual," he said. “But it has become clear that this is something that we need to engage further,” said Zollner, who runs an institute at the Pontifical Gregorian University that trains church personnel on preventing abuse. ___ The L’Arche community on Rome’s outskirts was buzzing with activity on a recent weekday: After nearly three years of pandemic lockdown, the ceramics studio had recently reopened, volunteers were helping some of the 19 live-in residents decorate Easter baskets and the gardening team was busy recycling wood chips. Here, where Pope Francis visited in 2016, the revelations of Vanier and L’Arche’s origins have hit longtime staffers hard, though there is no questioning of the fundamentals of the mission, said Loredana Moretti, a 35-year veteran of L'Arche's Il Chicco community and now on its leadership team. “For sure the investigation shocked all of us at the start,” said Moretti, adding that she now realizes Vanier epitomized a type of charismatic leader: "extreme in the good and in the bad.” “What’s important is to not make a myth or idealize anyone, including our founder. If we made a myth out of him, we were wrong,” she said. Such soul-searching was the order of business at the L’Arche leadership retreat a short distance away. It was held in a converted monastery in the hills overlooking Lake Albano, within view of the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo across the lake. L’Arche leaders were tackling big issues. How to tell its foundational story, now that it wasn’t just about helping disabled people as Vanier claimed. How are power and authority exercised, given the risk that Vanier’s methods trickled down to the next generation. How does L’Arche move forward with its unique spirituality, given Vanier’s writings were found to be problematic once details of his secret life were uncovered. “As a whole body, the question we have is: Do we tell our story now? What does it look like? It's a broken story," said Stacy Cates-Carney, L’Arche’s vice international leader. She said the revelations had “shattered” L'Arche's understanding of its origins. Regular audits are now planned to ensure L’Arche’s safeguarding practices are being implemented. Reviews are under way to ensure staffers’ professional, personal and spiritual needs are being met appropriately. And for now, L’Arche staff are being given time to talk and process the revelations. “We’re in a stage of grief,” Cates-Carney said. “And in grief, people move through that really differently.” ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Jailed American basketball star Brittney Griner returns to a Russian court on Thursday amid a growing chorus of calls for Washington to do more to secure her release nearly five months after she was arrested on drug charges. Griner was detained in February at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport after vape canisters with cannabis oil allegedly were found in her luggage. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of large-scale transportation of drugs. The trial of the Phoenix Mercury star and two-time Olympic gold medalist began last week but the second session was adjourned because two scheduled witnesses did not appear. Such delays are not uncommon in Russian courts and her detention has been authorized through Dec. 20, suggesting the proceedings could last months. It was unclear if Griner would testify Thursday. Although Griner's supporters initially kept a low profile, calls for the United States to take action spiked after the trial's first day. The State Department has designated her as wrongfully detained, moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator. However, Washington hasn’t made public its strategy in the case and the U.S. may have little leverage with Moscow because of strong animosity due to Russia's military actions in Ukraine. The White House said President Joe Biden called Griner's wife on Wednesday to assure her that he's doing all he can to obtain the athlete's release, as soon as possible. They spoke after Biden read a letter from Griner in which she said she feared she'd never return home. U.S. & World The Rev. Al Sharpton, one of America's most prominent Black activists, this week called for Biden to arrange a prayer meeting with Griner, saying, "Four months is too long for this to have gone on, and I hope the President acts on her pleas to come home.” An organization called Win With Black Women sent Biden a letter saying Secretary of State Antony Blinken “has called Cherelle Griner, Brittney’s wife, assuring her and stating publicly that Brittney’s safe return was a matter of personal priority; however, we are concerned that the rhetoric does not appear to align with the actions taken to date. We urge you to make a deal to get Brittney back home swiftly.” Russian news media have repeatedly speculated that Griner could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. on conviction of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization. Russia has agitated for Bout’s release for years. But the wide discrepancy between Griner’s alleged offense and Bout’s global dealings in deadly weapons could make such a swap unpalatable to Washington. Others have suggested that she could be traded along with Paul Whelan, a former Marine and security director serving a 16-year sentence in Russia on an espionage conviction that the U.S. has repeatedly described as a setup. Russia has shown no signs of backing off. “This is a serious offense, confirmed by indisputable evidence ... Attempts to present the case as if the American was detained illegally do not hold up," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexei Zaitsev said Wednesday. “The law has been violated, and arguments about the innocent nature of Griner’s addiction, which, by the way, is punishable in some U.S. states, are inappropriate in this case,” he said.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — China on Wednesday blocked the imposition of U.N. sanctions sought by the United States and India against the deputy chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based extremist group designated by the United Nations as a terrorist organization. Abdul Rauf Azhar has been under U.S. sanctions since December 2010 for acting for or on behalf of the group, known as JEM. India says Azhar was involved in the planning and execution of numerous terror attacks, including the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines aircraft, the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament and the 2016 attack on the Indian air force base in Pathankot. In June, China put a hold on adding Abdul Rehman Makki, deputy chief of another Pakistani group proscribed by the U.N., Lashkar-e-Taiba, to the U.N. blacklist. Makki has been under U.S. sanctions since November 2010, and India says he has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalizing young people to resort to violence, and planning attacks, including in Mumbai in 2008. According to Pakistan’s counter-terrorism agency, the government has outlawed more than 65 militant groups, including Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba. “We placed a hold because we need more time to study the case,” said the spokesperson at China’s U.N. Mission, who was not authorized to speak publicly. He said the U.N. Security Council committee monitoring sanctions allows “holds” on people proposed for sanctions, “and there have been quite a number of similar holds by committee members on listing requests.” A spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, who was also not authorized to speak publicly, said the United States “respects other countries’ need to verify” that people proposed for sanctions meet their threshold for evidence required to justify being put on the U.N. sanctions blacklist. “We strongly believe in the importance of the committee, which is to prevent and hold ISIS, al-Qaeda and their affiliates accountable for their illicit activities,” the U.S. spokesperson said. “Further, the United States values cooperation with our Security Council partners to effectively use this tool in an apolitical way to stop terrorists from exploiting the global order to do their misdeeds.”

NJ tax revenue from pot sales is soaring – where should the money go? 💲Tax revenue from NJ cannabis sales is pouring in 💲A new survey finds NJ residents have specific ideas about how the revenue should be spent 💲The Cannabis Regulatory Commission is holding hearings to gather input Are you planning to get high this week? Recreational marijuana sales in New Jersey could approach half a billion dollars by the end of 2023, which will mean tens of millions of cannabis tax revenue collected. New Jersey residents have some very specific ideas on how that money should be spent. According to Ashley Koning, the director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University, a survey finds the majority of New Jerseyans would like the tax revenue from recreational marijuana to go toward education and public health initiatives. Smoke pot, help society “Twenty-three percent of New Jerseyans say that education should be the state’s top priority for funding, and another 21% say the same thing about public and community health initiatives, including drug treatment centers,” Koning said. And while these two issues are tops for those polled, they aren't the only issues members of the public feel strongly about for funding. “About 15% say affordable housing development, 13% say transportation and infrastructure, and then 11% say funding for police, courts and prisons,” Koning said. Democrats and Republicans feel differently The poll finds when it comes to spending marijuana tax revenue, there is a partisan divide. Koning said 25% of Democrats and independents think having funding to support education should be the top priority, “whereas Republicans at 16% vote education as the top priority." What tops the list for Republicans? It's public safety. According to the poll, 21% of Republicans believe police, courts and prisons should be priority number one. Koning said the survey also finds there are differences among racial and ethnic groups when it comes to how pot tax money should be spent. “Black residents are more likely than residents of other races and ethnicities to feel the state should primarily invest the revenue in affordable housing development, 38% among Black residents compared to about 1 in 10 among other races or ethnicities,” Koning said. Only 4% of New Jerseyans think the revenue should be used for campaigns warning of the dangers of substance use. Some people just aren't sure Thirteen percent of respondents either gave another answer or said they didn’t really know what the revenue should be spent on. Koning said with the Cannabis Regulatory Commission currently holding public hearings to assess what the public thinks the money should be used for, “it’s good to scientifically assess what public opinion in the state actually has to say.” The next scheduled Cannabis Regulatory Commission public hearing is scheduled for March 2 in Trenton. The results are from a statewide poll of 1,006 adults contacted on landlines and cell phones from Aug. 30 to Sept. 8, 2022. The full sample has a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points.

Budweiser beer stands at the eight World Cup stadiums are being moved aside to less prominent spots just days before the games start, Qatari organizers said on Monday. It’s the latest late change in World Cup planning that started more than a decade ago in the majority-Muslim emirate where alcohol sales are strictly regulated. Qatar consented when launching its historic hosting bid in 2009 to respect FIFA’s commercial partnerships, including the long-established Budweiser deal that was renewed 11 years ago with brewer AB InBev through the 2022 tournament. World Cup organizers finally confirmed a beer sales policy in September covering the stadiums and official FIFA-authorized fan sites. On Saturday, just eight days before the first games, the agreement was tweaked to give Budweiser-branded sales tents less visibility for serving beer with alcohol within stadium perimeters. “AB InBev was informed on November 12 and are working with FIFA to relocate the concession outlets to locations as directed,” the Belgium-based company, which includes Anheuser-Busch, said on Monday in a statement. “We are working with FIFA to bring the best possible experience to the fans.” In Qatar, World Cup organizers said “operational plans are being finalized.” “These plans include venue management teams enhancing overlay requirements for all competition venues,” the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy said, referring to adorning sports events with temporary branding and facilities for officials. “This has a direct impact on the location of certain fan areas,” said the organizers, who declined to address a question about who took the decision. Four years ago in Russia, a Budweiser beer stand had one of the most prominent positions for sponsors outside Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow which hosted the opening game and the final. Red tents for Budweiser and Coca-Cola — two of FIFA’s longest-standing sponsors since the 1980s and 1970s, respectively — were placed next to the statue of Lenin that stood overlooking fans approaching the main stadium entrance. FIFA does not publish the value of individual World Cup commercial deals but a second-tier sponsorship such as Budweiser is worth tens of millions of dollars. The compromise on beer sales in Qatar was announced only in September and allowed for beer with alcohol to be served before and after games in the stadium perimeter. Only alcohol-free Bud Zero can be served during games and within the stadium bowl. Champagne, wines and spirits as well as beer will be served at stadium restaurants and lounges for corporate hospitality clients. Fans staying in most high-end hotels and three cruise ships hired by organizers as floating hotels for the tournament can also buy a range of alcoholic drinks. ___ AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/world-cup

A MARTÍNEZ, HOST: Thousands of migrants remain trapped on the border between Belarus and Poland, enduring frigid temperatures in makeshift camps. Some have already died, and there are fears for the safety of the rest as bitter winter conditions settle in. Meanwhile, the European Union has imposed sanctions against Belarus in response to the crisis. On the line with us now from Oslo is Jan Egeland, secretary-general of the Norwegian Refugee Council. Good morning. JAN EGELAND: Good morning. MARTÍNEZ: As I mentioned, Europe is now threatening new sanctions against Belarus, and Belarus is threatening to cut off gas supplies to Europe. Jan, these migrants are essentially just stuck right there in between. Who should be taking responsibility for them? EGELAND: Both sides of this abject power play should take responsibility for these migrants who are vulnerable people. They are men, women and children that have now come in some kind of a political crossfire. The European Union and Poland are obligated to hear the case of asylum-seekers. That's international law. And Belarus and Russia have to stop this using them as pawns on some kind of a chessboard. They are human beings. They have a right to be humanely treated and not used for power play. MARTÍNEZ: Is the number of migrants there may be too much for the countries to handle? EGELAND: It's not a high number. I mean, that's what we're trying to convince. I mean, Europe is a big place. Russia-Belarus is a big place. There are more people coming over the border from Afghanistan to Iran, where I just visited, every day than the accumulated number of people on the EU border of Poland. Why is Europe working themselves up in a hysteria for a small group of migrants? This is every day for many of poorer nations in the rest of the world. MARTÍNEZ: Poland is building up its troop and police presence at the border, and authorities sent out text messages that migrants cannot cross over. But should Poland just open the border? EGELAND: Well, they should have a mechanism, ideally together with the U.N., to orderly and nicely hear the cases of people who apply for protection and then reject those who have no - who are not individually persecuted. That's the law. Many would have to return, but now it seems like at gunpoint from both Poland and from Belarus. People are no man's land, and they are now potentially forcefully sent back to Iraq and other places where they may have big, big problems ahead of them. MARTÍNEZ: What signal would that maybe send to Minsk? Europe blames Belarus for orchestrating the crisis by directing migrants toward the Polish border, and they're calling it hybrid warfare. EGELAND: Yeah, I mean, Belarus is cynically using people. That - we seem to have evidence of that. They send them to the border with wire cutters, and then they say at gunpoint, stay there until you get over on the other side where they cannot come over. So it is - it has to be a lesson learned for the whole world. People have to get hope where they are, whether that is in Afghanistan, where there is no hope at the moment, or in the neighboring countries like Iran, where the facilities are overwhelmed, or in Iraq and elsewhere. That's No. 1. The second one - get procedures to hear cases for people who are applying for individual asylum. And that is up to both Belarus and Poland to work together on. It will be one of the migrant routes this winter because it's looking so desperate in so many places, including in Afghanistan. MARTÍNEZ: Well, let's talk about that for a second. Let's - we can take a step back for a moment. The catalyst - what's been the catalyst for this rush of migrants at the border in the first place? EGELAND: The catalyst is desperation. I mean, nobody goes on such a journey because they would like to be tourists. They go because they are desperate where they are, whether that is Kurds in Iraq or there are the Afghans that I heard in Iran, Afghan refugees who are already in Iran, say all our relatives and friends are now amassing at the border. They want to get over to Iran. And many want to wander west through Turkey or through Belarus. They want to go to Europe because there is no hope in Afghanistan. So, please, let's try to get assistance and economy, things working for the 40 million Afghans that were left behind when NATO went for the door in August. MARTÍNEZ: There has been a push, though, amongst many EU countries for tighter border controls. They say their asylum systems are already overburdened and exhausted. Does that argument hold water? Do they have a point? EGELAND: No, they do - Europe now takes very few refugees. They take a few asylum-seekers. There was an overwhelming incident in 2015 when a million people came - not so anymore. MARTÍNEZ: Jan Egeland is secretary-general of the Norwegian Refugee Council. Thank you very much. EGELAND: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Report: Rents in US hit record high Published: May. 19, 2022 at 3:40 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago (CNN) – Renters across the U.S. are paying more to stay in their homes, and the trend looks like it will continue. A report from realtor.com shows the national median rent for the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas was over $1,800 a month in April. That’s a jump of nearly 17% from a year ago, and the highest on record. If the trend continues, the report projects the national median rent could be more than $2,000 a month by August. There are, however, signs of possible relief for renters. Rent growth slowed for the third straight month in April after peaking in January. Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas water experts are sounding an alarm decades in the making: Farmers and ranchers in the state’s western half must stop pumping more water out of a vast aquifer than nature puts back each year or risk the economic collapse of a region important to the U.S. food supply. That warning is setting up a big and messy fight for the annual session of the Kansas Legislature set to open Monday. The Kansas Water Authority is telling lawmakers that Kansas needs to break sharply with its decadeslong policy of slowing depletion while still allowing water levels to drop in the Ogallala Aquifer. The aquifer covers roughly 175,000 square miles (453,000 square kilometers) in the western and Great Plains states of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota. Most of those states have areas where depletion is a problem, but the call in Kansas to “halt” the declines has farmers, ranchers and politically influential agriculture groups preparing to battle proposals that would give them less control over water and possibly could force them to cultivate fewer acres, buy expensive new equipment or turn on a dime to grow different crops. Imposing the Water Authority’s policy means agribusinesses that drive the region’s economy would have to consume less water — perhaps as much as 30% less in some areas. Lawmakers also would have to decide whether local officials would keep driving conservation efforts or if the state would be in charge. “The easy part was making the statement. That didn’t cost anybody anything,” said Clay Scott, who farms in southwestern Kansas. “We’re going to have to start paying for it, and we have to decide how that gets divvied up.” Kansas produces more than 20% of the nation’s wheat and has about 18% of the cattle being fed in the U.S. The western third of Kansas, home to most of its portion of the Ogallala, accounts for 60% of the value of all Kansas crops and livestock. That’s possible because of the water. The recommendation on the Ogallala from the water authority, a planning and advisory commission, is a response to data showing that since widespread pumping began around 1940, much of the Ogallala has lost at least 30% ofits available water and more than 60% in places in western Kansas. The Kansas Geological Survey had a team in western Kansas this week to measure well depths for updated figures. “There are wells that are starting to run dry already, so this isn’t a distant problem in some areas,” said Tom Buller, executive director of the Kansas Rural Center, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable agriculture and family farming. “There isn’t a lot of time to solve the problem.” The Water Authority’s recommendation comes as much of the western U.S. continues to suffer through a megadrought fueled by climate change. Parts of Kansas have had drought conditions for a year, and more than half the state has been in extreme drought since mid-September. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is currently working on a plan to cut water use from the Colorado River in western states by 15%, and Arizona is restricting large-scale farming. Nebraska last year launched a $500 million canal project to divert water from the South Platte River in Colorado. “We are told that the future, due to climate change, is going to get warmer and drier in western Kansas,” said Connie Owen, director of the Kansas Water Office, which oversees long-term plans for preserving water. “That is making things worse, which is all the more reason that we have to deal with this now.” There’s broad agreement, including among powerful agriculture groups and nervous farmers and ranchers, that Kansas needs to extend the aquifer’s life. But the path forward isn’t yet clear for Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and the Republican-controlled Legislature. In a pre-session interview, Kelly promised only to get affected parties together to negotiate a comprehensive solution. She added that following her narrow reelection in November, “I’ve got some political capital to spend to deal with what will be a very contentious issue.” Depletion of the Ogallala was one reason that in the Kansas House, the Water Committee last year considered a 283-page bipartisan proposal to set aside $49 million a year for conservation efforts and other programs. The measure also would have reorganized those programs and made the official who grants rights to use water independent of the state Department of Agriculture. In addition, it would have curbed the power of big irrigators in local districts that manage groundwater use, including from the Ogallala. Opponents included the Kansas Farm Bureau and the Kansas Livestock Association. Nothing ultimately passed after critics accused supporters of drafting it largely in secret. The committee’s chair later retired. The new Water Committee chair, Republican Rep. Jim Minnix, a southwestern Kansas farmer, said he hopes to work on incentives for local officials to be more aggressive about water conservation. The state allows local districts to set restrictions, and one in northwest Kansas gets high marks from water experts and officials for cutting water use. In one area of 99 square miles (256 square kilometers), it set water-use rules, sought to cut consumption 20% and reduced it 35% over the past decade, according to Manager Shannon Kenyon. Kenyon prizes local control but said the state should take charge where local officials haven’t pursued enough conservation. If local officials allow the water dry up, she said, “They are going to kill the economy in the state of Kansas,” Kenyon said. Some western Kansas farmers argue that the state’s best move is to ramp up education about ways to conserve water and provide incentives to help farmers adopt them. Several of them, as well as local water officials, said agriculture has become more careful with water over the past several decades through new technology, new crop varieties and better farming practices. Lee Reeve, whose family has farmed near Garden City in southwest Kansas for more than 100 years and now operates a cattle feed yard and ethanol plant, sees the Water Authority’s language on halting depletion as “toxic,” noting that farmers already are suspicious of government programs. “There’s just enough of this scare stuff out there that it’s hard to get through to people that, ‘Hey, there are things we can do,’” he said. ___ Follow John Hanna on Twitter: https://twitter.com/apjdhanna

Which electric stapler is best? Working in an office, classroom or other document-centric environment requires a handful of essential tools, including a useful stapler. While many simple staplers might get the job done, those spending hours a day stapling papers may benefit from an electric stapler –— and may even shave a few minutes off the day. Out of a wide range of options, the Bostitch Impulse 45 -Sheet Electric Stapler features the most overtly powerful heavy-duty stapler configuration, offering stapling of up to 45 sheets at once. What to know before you buy an electric stapler Type of electric stapler The best electric staplers come in many different shapes and sizes, so it’s important to identify exactly what you’re looking for before you make your purchase. If there are specific features you prefer in an electric stapler, such as a certain amount of paper capacity, a heavy-duty build or something that can be powered with batteries, keep these factors in mind as you shop. Staple storage One consideration that may vary depending on how much stapling you do is the volume of staple storage available, since many professionals can easily go through an entire box of staples in a given day. If you do a lot of stapling, consider purchasing a stapler that includes a compartment for storing extra staple sets, which could save you some time when reloading your stapler. Heavy-duty stapling Other buyers looking for an electric stapler need a unit that includes heavy-duty stapling capacity, such as those that can handle up to 75 sheets of paper at once or other materials such as cardboard, cardstock or other extra-thick documents. What to look for in a quality electric stapler High sheet capacity High sheet capacity allows the user to staple more pieces of paper together with one staple. While the average electric stapler can usually offer up to 25 sheets of paper at one time, some high-powered electric staplers can accommodate 50-75 sheets of paper at once, making them perfect for those who need to create large packets. Powering options Many modern electric staplers include separate options for powering the units, typically including both an AC adapter you can plug into the wall and a battery-operated option for those on the go. Paper and low-staple sensors A major benefit to many electric staplers is the sensors that allow them to detect when a piece of paper is present or when the staples start running out. Both of these features can help simplify a person’s stapling needs by either speeding up the process of stapling documents themselves or by not forcing the user to waste time thinking there are more staples when the unit is really out. How much you can expect to spend on an electric stapler Electric staplers can span a wide range of prices, especially if you’re looking for specific features. In general, you can find cheap electric staplers for as low as $15, while basic electric staplers can cost as much as $100. Industrial or specific-use staplers may cost as much as several hundreds of dollars. Electric stapler FAQ Do electric staplers perform as well on battery power as with AC adapters? A. In most cases, it shouldn’t matter to performance whether your electric stapler is plugged into an outlet or is run via battery power. One exception may occur if the stapler’s batteries are running low or are out completely since this may cause the unit to operate at a slowed power capacity. Are electric staplers better than conventional staplers? A. Unlike most conventional staplers, electric staplers usually automate the stapling process in some way or another, making it easier for the user to staple documents without constantly having to push down the stapler. Others also include features that make them simpler than conventional staplers, such as speedy document stapling, thick packet stapling and a more comfortable experience. What’s the best electric stapler to buy? Top electric stapler Bostitch Impulse 45-Sheet Double Heavy-Duty Electric Stapler What you need to know: This heavy-duty electric stapler can manage nearly any stapling task, and it also includes staple storage and an easy-push reloading button to make it user-friendly. What you’ll love: This electric stapler includes a refill alert to let you know when you’re running low and a jam-eliminating staple dispenser that’s now a signature for Bostitch’s top-tier staplers. What you should consider: Some users complained this model was a little more expensive than other heavy-duty staplers. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Top electric stapler for the money Swingline 48200 Compact Full Strip Electric Stapler What you need to know: For those on a serious budget, this electric stapler offers some of the best functionality for the price, and it’s a little smaller than most heavy-duty staplers, making it portable. What you’ll love: This stapler is great for packing in a bag with its slim design, and it offers the ability to be battery or outlet-powered.

Jackson mayor releases letter to city council president to ‘refute false narrative’ By Angela Williams Click here for updates on this story JACKSON, Mississippi (WAPT) — Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba released an internal document that he says proves the efforts his office has put forth to find the best garbage collection contract for the city. Lumumba released a letter dated Nov. 23 to City Council President Ashby Foote, in which he questions an executive session from Oct. 11. The mayor said he released the letter “in the interest of transparency.” “Our objective is clear. We want our residents to know that we have taken enormous efforts to secure a garbage collection contract,” Lumumba said in a statement released along with the letter to Foote. “We have gone through three separate RFP (request for proposal) processes in the last several years. A slim majority of the city council has refused to accept the contract of the top-rated vendors in the last two RFP processes. First, it was FCC Environmental and now it is Richard’s Disposal.” The Richard’s Disposal emergency contract expires at the end of March, and in order to keep garbage from piling up, a contract with a new deal would need to start on April 1. Lumumba continues to support Richard’s, saying the New Orleans-based company has proven its ability to pick up trash in Jackson and is proposing a deal that is much lower than the two other RFP companies. The mayor needs four votes from the Jackson City Council to approve a garbage contract, something some council members say he won’t get. In order to keep garbage from piling up, a contract with a new deal would need to start on April 1. “We also feel compelled to refute a false narrative that has been created among some council members and their attorney that the mayor has done nothing. As noted in the letter, the mayor reached out to the council president four months ago to try to resolve this issue. He even sent letters to the vendors to confirm if they would honor the original RFP prices,” Lumumba said in a statement. “The battle over a garbage contract has been an extremely unfortunate situation. But it was avoidable. The selection of a successful company that could and is now doing the job, while saving the city millions in taxpayers dollars, is in the best interest of Jackson residents. That is who we serve.” Please note: This content carries a strict local market embargo. If you share the same market as the contributor of this article, you may not use it on any platform.

While more than 800,000 New Jerseyans started to see direct deposits from the state’s ANCHOR property-tax relief program hit their bank accounts Tuesday, some residents said they were left out. It wasn’t because they didn’t qualify for the payments but because they didn’t apply. Several taxpayers contacted NJ Advance Media saying there were reasons they couldn’t get the application in by the Feb. 28 deadline, which was extended twice. It included people who said they were disabled, had medical problems, were elderly or didn’t speak or read English. They said they either didn’t realize they could, or didn’t know how to, ask for the benefit. They asked if it was too late and if exceptions are made. “People who would have been eligible but missed the ANCHOR deadline due to extenuating circumstances are not prevented from filing the 2019 application,” state Treasury spokeswoman Melinda Caliendo said. “Once they do so, they will receive a denial letter with instructions on appealing the decision.” For those seeking information in other languages, the Frequently Asked Questions section of the ANCHOR site is available in Spanish, and users can translate the state website into dozens of other languages. Go to ANCHOR.nj.gov and click the “Translate” link on the top right of the page, and you can select your language from the drop-down menu. If you applied but you don’t receive your payment immediately, you should check the status of your payment online. “If no payment is received by May 3, 2023, applicants should use the status inquiry link or call (888) 238-1233 for more information,” the Treasury Department said Tuesday. “If the status says a payment has been made, but has not yet been received, taxpayers should call the hotline one week after a direct deposit was supposed to go out or two weeks after a check was supposed to be mailed.” But some residents have called the ANCHOR hotline problematic, saying they haven’t been able to get through. Trouble calling government agencies was featured in an NJ.com special report about which state agencies do — and don’t — answer the phone. The Treasury Department said some applications that need additional information before they are approved could take longer to finalize. The current program benefit year is for homeowners and renters who occupied their primary residence in New Jersey on Oct. 1, 2019. If you moved to the state after that, you may be eligible for benefits in future years. Gov. Phil Murphy asked for another $2 billion to fund ANCHOR in his next state budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year, which starts on July 1. The plan is being reviewed by the state Legislature. A final plan must be in place by the end of June. Under the current program year, for which applications were available in October 2022, eligible homeowners with income of up to $150,000 would receive $1,500 and those who earned $150,000 to $250,000 would receive $1,000. Renters with income of up to $150,000 would be eligible to receive a $450 payment. While direct deposits started going out on Tuesday, paper checks won’t be mailed until the first week in April, and then in batches, but the majority of payments will be issued before May 3, the Treasury Department said. More than 1.7 million people applied for the program, the Treasury Department said. That included 1.25 million homeowners and more than 514,000 renters, it said.

NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon told investors Tuesday that government and banks should work to adjust industry regulations following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank last month, saying that the financial system needs to be adjusted so that one bank's failure does not “cause undue panic and financial harm.” The comments, made in Dimon's letter to JPMorgan Chase shareholders, were his first since the two banks failed. Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of the nation's largest bank, is a veteran of the 2008 financial crisis, and one of the last senior executives remaining at a Wall Street firm since the industry nearly collapsed 15 years ago. Dimon said in his letter there was plenty of blame to go around for Silicon Valley Bank's failure. The bank's management poorly handled the bank's interest rate risk, leaving it too exposed to the Federal Reserve's rising interest rates, he said. Regulators like the Fed did not adequately understand the risks in SVB's balance sheet soon enough to push the bank to adjust course before it was too late. Lastly Dimon partially blamed venture capitalists and the tech community, whose collective decision to pull their money out of SVB caused the bank to fail through a traditional bank run. “The unknown risk was that SVB’s over 35,000 corporate clients – and activity within them – were controlled by a small number of venture capital companies and moved their deposits in lockstep,” Dimon wrote. “This is not to absolve bank management – it’s just to make clear that this wasn’t the finest hour for many players,” he added. Dimon acknowledged in his letter what was seen anecdotally throughout this crisis: depositors flocked to the nation's biggest banks which are seen as “too big to fail” which arguably gives them an implicit government backstop in times of panic. But Dimon said the country benefits from smaller banks and community banks because they serve more local populations that their bigger rivals. “While it is true that this bank crisis ‘benefited’ larger banks due to the inflow of deposits they received from smaller institutions, the notion that this meltdown was good for them in any way is absurd,” he said. Dimon's annual letter to shareholders is often a must-read for bankers, policymakers and the media as Dimon typically goes into great detail about the issues facing the industry as well as the U.S. and global economy. Dimon was the the go-to banker for Washington during the 2008 financial crisis, buying Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual in government-brokered deals to stop further panic in the banking system. He reprised that role last month, as the White House turned to Dimon to find fellow banks to come to the rescue of First Republic Bank, which came dangerously close to failing after Silicon Valley and Signature Bank failed.

NEW YORK, April 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Techtronic Industries Company Limited (OTC: TTNDY) resulting from allegations that Techtronic may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. SO WHAT: If you purchased Techtronic securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=12551 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On February 22, 2023, Jehoshaphat Research published a report alleging that the Company has been "inflating its profits dramatically for over a decade with manipulative accounting." Specifically, Jehoshaphat Research accuses the Company of deceptively managing costs "[b]y stuffing billions of dollars' worth of routine expenses into various asset accounts, year after year;" an accounting trick referred to as "snowballing." Jehoshaphat Research observes that every year, Techtronic disposes of large amounts of tangible assets, such as Property, Plant & Equipment, at near-total losses on sale, signifying that the Company is capitalizing routine business expenses into assets. The report also accused Techtronic of ignoring its own accounting policy on bad debt provisions in order to delay expenses. On this news, Techtronic's stock price fell $3.55 per share, or 5.7%, to close at $58.70 per share on February 22, 2023.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Bill O’Brien is back with the New England Patriots. The team announced Thursday that O'Brien was hired as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The move comes 12 days after the Patriots said they were searching for a new leader of their offense following a disappointing season that saw second-year quarterback Mac Jones struggle under an offense largely directed by play caller Matt Patricia and quarterbacks coach Joe Judge. The team ranked in the bottom half of the league in several categories and last in the NFL in red zone touchdowns. The move to hire O’Brien, New England’s OC during the 2011 season when the team went to the Super Bowl, is expected to bring major changes to the Patriots' offensive scheme. “I am looking forward to working with Bill again,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said in a statement. “He is an outstanding coach and an asset to our staff.” What coaching roles Patricia, who also oversaw the offensive line, and Judge will have next season remains unclear. O’Brien becomes the first official offensive coordinator Belichick has hired since Josh McDaniels left following the 2021 season to take the Las Vegas Raiders' head coaching job. O’Brien spent the past two seasons as offensive coordinator for the University of Alabama. Before that, he was the head coach of the Houston Texans from 2014 to 2020, leading them to four playoff appearances before being fired in 2020 after a 0-4 start. He also served as Penn State’s coach from 2012 and 2013. That followed a four-year stint as a Patriots assistant in which he coached receivers and quarterbacks before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2011. That season New England finished ranked third in points and second in yards. The Patriots staff will coach the West team at next week’s East-West Shrine Bowl in Las Vegas. One of O’Brien’s first duties with the Patriots will be serving in a supervisory role for that game along with Belichick and Jerod Mayo. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST and LINDSEY TANNER Associated Press If the Supreme Court follows through on overturning Roe v. Wade, abortion likely will be banned or greatly restricted in about half the U.S. states. But experts and advocates fear repercussions could reach even further, affecting care for women who miscarry, couples seeking fertility treatments and access to some forms of contraception. Many conservatives insist they are only interested in curtailing abortion, and legislation passed so far often has exceptions for other reproductive care. But rumblings from some in the GOP have experts concerned, and laws banning abortion could also have unintended side effects. “The rhetoric has been really increasing over the last several years,” said Mara Gandal-Powers, the director of birth control access at the National Women’s Law Center. “There’s definitely a domino effect which I think people are really starting to wake up to and see this is how far it could go.” If Roe is overturned, as suggested by a leaked draft opinion, states will set their own abortion laws, and conservative lawmakers are already passing a steady stream of deeply restrictive regulations. Oklahoma lawmakers, for example, passed legislation Thursday banning abortion at conception, the strictest in the nation. Although that bill has some exceptions, it signals a direction that is deeply worrisome for many doctors. “I truly think the people writing these laws either have no concept of the broad implications or do not care about how this impacts so many aspects of women’s health care,” said Dr. Kristyn Brandi, a New Jersey OB-GYN who provides abortion care. “In medicine, you are not considered pregnant until this fertilized egg is implanted into the uterus — which happens after fertilization,” Brandi said. She said it is unclear whether doctors performing infertility treatments would be in violation of the law if they dispose of extra fertilized eggs. The Oklahoma measure “is not based in science and is incredibly confusing and frustrating for medical professionals trying to provide evidence based care.″ The Roe decision was based on a constitutional right to privacy — and the decision leaned on another landmark case eight years earlier that gave married couples the right to birth control, Griswold v. Connecticut. Reliable birth control is now a feature of life for millions of Americans, but in March U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee recorded a video message naming the Griswold decision as “constitutionally unsound.” She’s not proposing restrictions on birth control but hasn’t commented further to clarify what she meant. Other conservatives have conflated emergency contraception, often known as the morning-after pill, with abortion. In Idaho, for example, it was prohibited at school-based health clinics last year under a law banning public funding for “abortion related services.” Along with long-acting birth control devices called IUDs, emergency contraception has been been attacked by abortion foes who believe life begins when an egg is fertilized. But those pills have no effect once a pregnancy is established, after implantation in the womb, Brandi said. “You can take Plan B all you want when you’re pregnant. It will not do anything to your pregnancy,’’ she said. Emergency contraceptive pills like Plan B and IUDs may also prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb, but experts say the science on that isn’t clear. It is believed they mostly work by blocking fertilization. Political attempts to block access to intrauterine devices and other birth control “would be consistent with the pattern that we’re seeing right now,’’ said Dr. Jennifer Kerns, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco who also provides abortion care. “Many of us are very concerned that that’s kind of the next up on the chopping block.’’ In Missouri last year, for example, there was a failed effort to prevent IUDs and emergency contraception from being paid for by Medicaid. But in Tennessee, which just passed harsh penalties for providing abortion medication, Republican Senate Speaker Randy McNally pushed back on any suggestion that contraception could be in the crosshairs. “Contraception and abortion are not the same thing. One is a responsible way to prevent pregnancy. The other ends a human life. It is a flagrant attempt to change the conversation and it won’t work,” spokesman Adam Kleinheider said in a statement. The governor of Mississippi, one of 13 states that will immediately ban abortion if Roe is overturned, wouldn’t say whether he’d sign a hypothetical birth-control ban when asked on “Meet the Press.” Gov. Tate Reeves later clarified on Twitter: “I’m not interested in banning contraceptives.” But doctors also worry other forms of reproductive care, like treating ectopic pregnancies, could be targeted. These occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. They are often life-threatening medical emergencies because the fragile tube can rupture, causing massive internal bleeding. In 2019, an Ohio Republican proposed a measure that would have compelled doctors to try transplanting ectopic pregnancies into the uterus or allowing insurers to cover the hypothetical procedure, which is considered medically impossible. After Texas banned abortion after six weeks, Kerns said colleagues there have told of patients with ectopic pregnancies being transferred out of state for treatment, putting their health at risk. Physicians may even become hesitant to treat miscarriage, said Brandi, the New Jersey OB-GYN. Women often miscarry alone, early in pregnancy, with no need for medical assistance. For others, it involves heavy prolonged bleeding and treatment is exactly the same as abortion — the same pills or procedure. Doctors in states that outlaw abortion would fear repercussions for treating miscarriages, Brandi said. Most end safely but infection is a risk, she said. Plus, Brandi added, it can take eight weeks for someone “once they’ve diagnosed with a miscarriage to actually pass the pregnancy” without intervention. That can be traumatic, particularly for women who wanted to be pregnant. Roxanne Kelly, a mental health specialist in Arkansas, has a family history of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Knowing she’s at high risk, she shudders hearing politicians equate treatment for both with abortion. “Instead of receiving medical care, … I would be treated potentially as a murderer,’’ Kelly said. She shared her fears with her husband recently, and he “immediately offered to get a vasectomy,” saying “it’s reversible and keeps you safe,” Kelly said. Meanwhile, some states still have abortion bans on the books that date back to the 1800s. If Roe is overturned, those bans with vague definitions of abortion could snap back into effect. “Some states don’t say what abortion is; they just say abortion is a crime,” said Mary Ziegler, a law professor at University of California, Davis. “There’s a history of defining abortion more broadly to include steps in IVF or some forms of contraception.” The Supreme Court isn’t expected to issue its final ruling until June or July, but some states are already considering going beyond banning abortion. Lawmakers in Louisiana considered a proposal to make it a homicide — a plan the governor said could criminalize some types of contraception and parts of the in vitro fertilization process. The legislation stalled, but it could signal future tactics. Oklahoma passed a series of strict new anti-abortion measures after seeing abortions spike as a ban in nearby Texas sent women to surrounding states. Legislation passed Thursday and set to be signed by the governor has exceptions for ectopic pregnancies — despite opposition from at least one lawmaker — and contraception, too, but not a specific exception for in vitro fertilization. The legislation, which is enforced through civil lawsuits similar to the Texas ban, would “provide strong, additional protection of the life of unborn children in Oklahoma,” Republican sponsor Rep. Wendi Stearman said in a statement. A line describing an “unborn child” as one at any stage of gestation means it likely would not apply to embryos fertilized in a lab, leading some fertility doctors to say this bill would have little effect on people seeking IVF, but it could still apply to the selective reduction process sometimes used to remove a fetus from a woman’s womb if fertility treatments result in multiple pregnancies, said Seema Mohapatra, health law at bioethics professor at SMU Deadman School of Law. “I think it is very reasonable to be fearful of what comes next,” Mohapatra said. “At what point does your reproductive decision making, even for people that are really, really desperately wanting a child, become constrained?” ___ Associated Press writer Kimberlee Kruesi in Tennessee contributed to this report.
