Ohio City Mobility Study: last day for public to submit issues is Aug. 30
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - In an effort to build a safer neighborhood that is easier to get around, Ohio City Inc. and 3MPH Planning are conducting a mobility study.
The mobility study allows people who live in Ohio City to submit where issues exist around the area.
This includes, “an unsafe intersection, a missing sidewalk connection, or oddly timed traffic signal.”
Residents can go to the link here to submit what issues they are seeing, or tell the city what is working.
According to 3MPH, the information will be used to establish some temporary fixes to the streets, while also paving the way for full-time solutions that can be duplicated throughout the city.
Phase one is ending on Tuesday night when the public submission period will end.

Elon Musk said he believes the Biden administration might try to “weaponize” federal agencies against Twitter if former President Trump returns to the platform.
Musk made the comment on Wednesday in a reply to a tweet from another user who reported that Trump is planning to do so after his account was restored in November.
NBC News reported on Tuesday that Trump is urging Facebook to restore his account, which has been locked since the day after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, and is considering a return to Twitter after his account was restored following Musk’s takeover of the social media platform.
Trump at least initially indicated after the suspension on his Twitter account was lifted that he would instead remain on his own platform, Truth Social.
“Will be interesting to see how the Biden administration reacts to this. They may try to weaponize Federal agencies against Twitter,” Musk posted.
Musk’s comment comes a week after House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) officially launched the GOP’s investigation of Biden family finances and allegations surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter Biden. Comer also has sent letters to former top executives at Twitter to request they testify about their role in how the platform handled news reporting about information allegedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
He said these executives played a role in “suppressing” the public’s access to information about the Biden family on Twitter ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Actor Alec Baldwin has reached an undisclosed settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer killed on the "Rust" movie set last year.
"Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son," Baldwin said in a statement shared on social media. "We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation."
Baldwin was pointing a gun at Hutchins when it went off in October 2021, killing Hutchins and wounding the director, Joel Souza. They had been inside a small church and setting up to film a scene.
The lawsuit was filed in February against Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions, LLC. Hutchins' husband Matthew said the settlement was subject to court approval, and exact terms were not released.
"The filming of Rust, which I will now executive produce, will resume with all the original principal players on board in January 2023," Matthew Hutchins said in a statement obtained by CNN and Deadline.
He said he was not interested in "attributions of blame":
"All of us believe Halyna’s death was a terrible accident," the statement read. "I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna’s final work."
In his own statement, Souza said he would continue to direct "Rust" with Matthew Hutchins as producer.
"Though certainly bittersweet, I am pleased that together, we will now complete what Halyna and I started," read Souza's statement obtained by Deadline. "My every effort on this film will be devoted to honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud. It is a privilege to see this through on her behalf."
What to know:
Baldwin has said the gun went off accidentally and that he did not pull the trigger. But a recent FBI forensic report found the weapon could not have fired unless someone pulled the trigger.
New Mexico medical investigators ruled in August that Hutchins' death was an accident. It was not known how much weight the ruling would hold as prosecutors decide whether to file charges.
The state has granted funds to pay for possible prosecutions connected to the shooting, with the Santa Fe New Mexican reporting last month that as many as four people could face charges. District attorneys did not say whether anyone definitely would face charges, but said Baldwin was one of the possible defendants.
Baldwin has said he does not believe he will be criminally charged in the shooting.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game without pay by the NBA, and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell fined $20,000 for their roles in an on-court incident on Thursday night.
The league announced the punishments on Friday.
Brooks swung and struck Mitchell in the groin area during the third quarter after the Grizzlies guard had fallen to the floor. Mitchell retaliated by throwing the ball at Brooks and then shoving him.
Both players were ejected in Cleveland’s 128-113 win.
Afterward, Mitchell accused Brooks of being a dirty player.
“That’s just who he is,″ Mitchell said. “We’ve seen it a bunch in this league with him. Him and I have had our personal battles for years. There’s no place for that in the game. This has been brewing for years with me and other guys in the league. This isn’t new.”
The league said Brooks will serve his suspension on Sunday, when the Grizzlies host the Toronto Raptors.
Initially, Mitchell was scheduled to speak with reporters in Cleveland’s locker room. But the All-Star guard opted for the team’s larger interview room so he could address the incident with Brooks.
“I’m losing money,” Mitchell said before answering questions.
Mitchell said he and Brooks have been feuding for years. He also noted that Brooks has had similar altercations with other players.
“I’m not typically someone who gets ejected for stuff like that,” Mitchell said. “But at the end of the day, I think my reaction was reacting to a cheap shot. If punishment doesn’t come from that, he’s just going to keep doing it.
“It’s just dumb to be honest with you and I’m going to appeal it because I don’t think I should’ve gotten ejected for defending myself.”
Before his ejection, Mitchell was having a rough night. He scored just six points on 2-of -1 shooting in 22 minutes while being guarded by Brooks. The two had matched up regularly when Mitchell played for Utah.
“That was cool when we were just talking, but that right there, a line has to be drawn,” Mitchell said. “The NBA has to do something about it. I’m not the only person this has happened to and there’s no place for that in this game.
“I took matters into my own hands. When you have a cheap shot like that, there was no need to do that.”

BOZEMAN — While many Big Sky opponents agree that playing at Eastern Washington is not easy since the installment of their red turf, it’s also fair to say that many of them have those same sentiments about Bobcat Stadium.
Montana State (3-1, 1-0) currently has the longest active home win streak in the FCS with 14, but as the Bobcats turn the page to Week 5, UC Davis (1-3, 0-1) could pose a real threat.
"I think you just flip the film on and I think our guys recognize that this is going to be a challenge on both sides of the football," head coach Brent Vigen said during Monday's presser.
Even though UC Davis may have one of the worst records in the Big Sky, Vigen knows their 1-3 start is misleading, which features close losses against two top-10 programs: No.2 South Dakota State and No. 8 Weber State.
“To this point, being 1-3, I don't think it tells a story," Vigen stated. "They were right there against South Dakota State with a chance to tie. Last Saturday with this game against Weber that was a back-and-forth affair, so I do think as I’ve seen them - I mean we haven’t played them since I’ve been here yet, but offensively very diverse."
The Aggies have a new field general this fall in Miles Hastings who currently leads the Big Sky in passing with 1,041 yards and eight touchdowns, but the guy at the top of Montana State’s scouting report isn’t No. 7, it’s their running back Ulonzo Gilliam Jr.
The senior was selected as this year’s preseason offensive MVP, and is living up to the title, leading the Big Sky in rushing with 365 yards and two touchdowns.
“[Ulonzo] Gilliam Jr. is probably as good an offensive player right now as there is in the league," Vigen stated.
Defensively, Rex Connors is a fresh face that’s been making noise for the Aggies at defensive back.
The redshirt freshman leads the team in both tackles and interceptions, a challenge bobcat quarterback Sean Chambers is preparing for as he gets ready for his first start this Saturday.
“They give you a lot of different looks, multiple fronts - a defense that we haven’t seen in a few weeks now," Vigen explained. "An adjustment on that end. We’re going to have to play well to win. There’s no denying that, and this will be a great challenge for us.”
Montana State versus UC Davis kicks off under the lights Saturday at 8:15 p.m. MT on ESPNU.

For 7th time, Macerich honored for environmental performance, industry leadership
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Macerich (NYSE: MAC), one of the nation's leading owners, operators and developers of one-of-a-kind retail and mixed-use properties in top markets, has been recognized for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by global environmental nonprofit CDP, securing a place on CDP's annual A List for the seventh year.
The environmental, social and governance (ESG) recognition is based on data reported through CDP's 2022 Climate Change questionnaire. Out of more than 15,000 companies scored, Macerich is one of a small number of companies that achieved a grade of A.
"We are honored to again receive the important distinction of appearing on the A List," said Tom O'Hern, Chief Executive Officer of Macerich. "This recognition underscores our sharp focus on double materiality, the intersection of financial responsibility and good stewardship of natural resources. Assessing both inward and outward impacts, and how they compound the creation of economic value, is a key ESG metric Macerich has long embraced."
CDP's annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. CDP uses a detailed and independent methodology to assess companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
"2030 is an important target to reduce global carbon usage and mitigate climate warming, and we are appreciative that Macerich continues to be recognized for our progress toward our goal of becoming the first in our industry to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030," said Olivia Bartel Leigh, Executive Vice President, Portfolio Operations and People, Macerich. "We aim to set the bar for sustainability in our industry and operate properties with purpose that 'walk the walk' in serving our guests, investors, industry partners, employees, the communities where we do business and our planet."
Additionally, Macerich has been widely recognized for its commitment and performance in creating a more sustainable future. In addition to its seven years on the CDP A List, the company has achieved numerous other recognitions, including receiving a #1 GRESB ranking for the North American retail sector for eight years (2015-2022) and being named among the EPA Green Power Partner Top 30 for on-site generation (2014-2021).
Dexter Galvin, Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP, congratulated the A List companies. "Environmental transparency is the first vital step towards a net-zero and nature-positive future. In a year of ever-increasing environmental concerns around the world — from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature — the need for transformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever," he said.
Macerich shares its ESG activities and progress through its Corporate Responsibility Report, Annual Report, Proxy Statement and Form 10-K, in addition to other internal and external communications. The annual Corporate Responsibility Report conveys details of Macerich's comprehensive ESG focus, including plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 — decades ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement. The most recent report includes data for the period ending December 31, 2021.

Sanger quarterback Logan Lewis (18) and receiver Austin Shackelford (12) celebrate after scoring a touchdown during a game against Mineral Wells on Friday in Sanger.
SANGER — Sanger ripped off 56 unanswered points during one stretch Friday night to roll to a 63-20 win over Mineral Wells.
The Sanger offense was balanced all night long, with senior quarterback Logan Lewis connecting with several receivers throughout the night, including senior wideout Ben Turnbow on a jet sweep to open the scoring.
Coach Rocky Smart had one particular part of the team he wanted to heap praise on.
“The offensive line [was the MVP] when you score 63 points” Smart said. “Those guys played extremely hard, and the quarterback had great time.”
The Rams came out on their second drive of the game with nine straight running plays, the majority going through junior running back Jose Garcia. They tied the game midway through the first quarter on a one-yard run by senior quarterback Mason Facteau.
From then on, it was all Sanger.
After recovering a fumble on the first Rams drive, the Sanger defense was able to force two more fumbles and also set up prime field position twice when the ball was snapped over Mineral Wells' punter's head two different times.
The second time it happened, it set up the Sanger offense at the Rams' two-yard line, where senior receiver Steven Bush ran it in to put the Indians up 28-7.
Smart was proud of the adjustments his team made early in the game.
“Once we adjusted to their speed, defensively, we fit really well and we made the gaps really hard to get through,” Smart said.
Trailing the game 42-7 coming out of an extended halftime for Sanger's homecoming festivities, Mineral Wells decided to try an onside kick, but the Indians easily recovered it at their own 35-yard line.
Sanger did not let up after that, with its first play of the half featuring Lewis and Turnbow connecting on a 63-yard pass, with Turnbow taking it the majority of the way himself.
Two plays later, senior receiver Kollin Shumate ran in yet another touchdown from one yard out to give Sanger a 49-7 lead.
The Rams turned the ball back over on downs in four short plays at their own 32-yard line.
Given prime field position, the Sanger offense ran into a bit of trouble, but was still able to find a way into the end zone. The offense had first and goal, but committed two false start penalties to push fourth and goal all the way to the 18-yard line.
Lewis dropped back and threw a dart to wide-open senior receiver Chandler Bowland for the score to put them up 56-7.
Two late scores in the fourth quarter made the final score a bit closer.
With the district portion of the Indians' schedule opening up next week against Gainesville (0-4), Smart has a few things he’ll be focused on.
“We don’t want to live on big plays,” he said. “They had some chunk plays on us, and we want to get to where we’re winning more on first down, and not giving them six or seven yards on first down."

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched nighttime attacks on several cities in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said Saturday as they and officials in Moscow blamed each other for the deaths of dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in a separatist-controlled area of the country's east.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have a duty to react after shelling of a prison complex in Donetsk province killed the POWS.
“It was a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war,” Zelenskyy said in a video address late Friday. “There should be a clear legal recognition of Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
Both sides alleged the attack on the prison was premeditated and intended to silence the Ukrainian prisoners and to destroy evidence, including of possible atrocities.
Russia claimed Ukraine’s military used U.S.-supplied precision rocket launchers to target the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic.
Separatist authorities and Russian officials said the attack killed 53 Ukrainian POWs and wounded another 75.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which has organized civilian evacuations in the war and worked to monitor the treatment of POWS held by Russia and Ukraine, said it has requested access to the prison “to determine the health and condition of all the people present on-site at the time of the attack.”
“Our priority right now is making sure that the wounded receive life-saving treatment and that the bodies of those who lost their lives are dealt with in a dignified manner,” the Red Cross said in a statement.
Elsewhere in eastern Ukraine, Russian rockets hit a school building in Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city, overnight, and another attack occurred about an hour later, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said Saturday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The bus station in the city of Sloviansk also was hit, according to Mayor Vadim Lyakh. Sloviansk is near the front line of fighting as Russian and separatist forces try to take full control of the Donetsk region, one of two eastern provinces that Russia has recognized as sovereign states.
In southern Ukraine, one person was killed and six injured in shelling that hit a residential area in Mykolaiv, a significant port city, the region's administration said Saturday on Facebook.
Friday's attack on the prison reportedly killed Ukrainian soldiers who were captured in May after the fall of Mariupol, another port city where troops famously held out against a monthslong Russian siege.
Moscow opened a probe into the attack, sending a team to the site from Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s main criminal investigation agency. The state RIA Novosti agency reported that fragments of U.S.-supplied precision High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rockets were found at the site.
The Ukrainian military denied making any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka, and it accused the Russians of shelling the prison to cover up the alleged torture and execution of Ukrainians there.
The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, said the competing claims and limited information prevented assigning responsibility for the attack but that the “available visual evidence appears to support the Ukrainian claim more than the Russian.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — A key witness in the corruption trial of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has testified that her billionaire boss ordered her to deliver gifts of champagne, cigars, and expensive jewelry to the then-Israeli premier in a scandal at the center of the country's political crisis.
The expensive gifts lavished upon the former Israeli leader by wealthy friends are the subject of one of the three corruption cases against Netanyahu. He stands accused of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes, charges he has denied and dismissed as part of an attempt to oust him from office.
The Netanyahus “love gifts, and they love pink champagne and cigars for Bibi,” Hadas Klein, the longtime assistant of one of the former premier's friends, testified Tuesday, using the prime minister’s nickname.
The ongoing trial — already in its second year — is addressing allegations that while in office, Netanyahu accepted gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hollywood film producer Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer.
Klein, Milchan's longtime assistant, told the Jerusalem District Court that she had been instructed to buy gifts for the prime minister and his wife so that Milchan could stay in the couple's good graces.
“You can’t come empty-handed, because if you come empty-handed you won’t be invited again,” Israeli media quoted her as telling the court.
In an additional testimony Wednesday, Klein presented receipts for cigars amounting to some $12,000 and described demands from the then-prime minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, for bottles of champagne and jewelry, Israeli media reported.
During the emotional testimony, Klein also elaborated on mistreatment she faced, telling the court the prime minister's wife screamed at her when she failed to provide the requested gifts.
The indictment claims Netanyahu used his position of power to further Milchan's interests, representing a conflict between his public duties and personal friendship. Netanyahu did personal favors for Milchan, including asking US officials to extend Milchan's US resident's permit and extending Israeli regulations exempting Israeli returnees from declaring foreign income, according to the indictment.
Netanyahu refutes the claims of wrongdoing, saying he wasn't acting in Milchan's personal interests and even occasionally acted against them. He says the exchanges of gifts were just friendly gestures.
In the other cases against Netanyahu, he is accused of trying to orchestrate positive coverage in a major Israeli paper in exchange for promoting legislation that would have hampered the news outlet’s chief rival, a free pro-Netanyahu daily. The third, dubbed Case 4000, alleges that Netanyahu promoted legislation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the owner of Israeli telecom giant Bezeq in exchange for positive coverage on its Walla news site.
Israel is heading to its fifth election in less than four years in November. The country has been mired in a protracted political crisis — with the past four elections ending in deadlock — in large part because of widespread divisions in the public over Netanyahu's fitness to serve while under indictment.
Netanyahu was ousted from office last year after eight ideologically diverse parties joined forces and formed a coalition government that was bound largely based on little more than shared apathy to Netanyahu. The coalition collapsed last week after months of infighting and defections.
He still leads the dominant Likud party, the largest in the Israeli Knesset, as the country heads to yet another parliamentary election. The scathing testimony also comes as the country's political discourse centers around high cost of living, inflation and financial struggles of the middle class.
Opinion polls suggest that Likud will once again be the largest party after the election. But it is unclear whether it and its religious and nationalist allies will control the parliamentary majority required to form a new government.

Amid triple-digit temperatures and sizzling heat indexes across the Lone Star State, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued alerts asking Texans to conserve energy to avoid blackouts and power shortages. The Public Utility Commission of Texas listed a few tips to help Texans conserve energy and protect this summer.
So, what are the best practices when it comes to protecting the electricity grid during the summer months? The latest PUCT recommendations are listed below.
Texas energy grid: How to conserve energy
- To help keep the overall temperature lower in the house, use ceiling fans and portable fans to circulate the cool air.
- Install patio covers, awnings, and solar window screens to shade the house from the sun. Also, a good tip is to shade the south and west windows of the house with plants or trees to block direct light and heat during the summer.
- Close interior blinds, drapes, or shades to block the sun and heat during warm weather to keep the house cooler.
- Consider using a clothesline instead of a clothes dryer.
- Outside air conditioning units, or condensers, should be shaded.
- On warm days, raise the thermostat to 80°F or higher if leaving for more than four hours.
- The Public Utility Commission of Texas notes that setting a thermostat to a lower temperature than normal will not cool a home faster.
- Try to save heat and humidity generating activities such as cooking, laundering, and dishwashing for the early morning or evening hours.
- Consider setting the thermostat to 78 degrees or higher; the agency explained that every degree of additional cooling will increase energy usage by six to eight percent.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Fresh off a seven-hour board meeting that reshaped the PGA Tour’s future, Commissioner Jay Monahan was standing in a breeze way at Bay Hill last week when Adam Hadwin walked by and asked him what was coming.
Monahan assured him there would be good news on the way.
“For everyone?” Hadwin asked.
Monahan put some of those concerns to rest on Tuesday that radical changes to the PGA Tour schedule would not create a divide among the stars who play in small fields for big money and everyone else.
And he took exception to the notion the PGA Tour simply copied Saudi-funded LIV Golf by having 11 designated tournaments that don’t have a cut.
“Do you think we really look the same?” Monahan said. “The players that are competing in our events in this new format next year will have earned the right to compete in them.”
Some details have not been worked out, while others have not been announced.
Still to be determined are eight of the designated events that will offer a $20 million purse with a field of no more than 80 players. Jack Nicklaus said two weeks ago Pebble Beach would be one of them, and the tour has said events with tournament hosts — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods — would be among them.
Monahan pointed to a signature difference to LIV Golf, which has 48 players who make up 12 teams for the entire season. He said every PGA Tour member would be able to gain access to elite events by competing in all the other tournaments.
Key to the system is turnover.
“The model right now would suggest that roughly a little north of 60% of the players in the top 50 will retain their position, so more than a third will not,” Monahan said. “That was an important element to the changes that we’re making. We wanted to make certain that there was real consequence and there’s real promotion, there’s real relegation. I think that accomplishes that.”
Monahan declined to acknowledge that changes were prompted by LIV Golf, which has taken away 36 players from the PGA Tour with offers of signing bonuses, small fields, a team concept and $20 million purses, with $4 million to the winner.
Other players made that clear.
“I’m not going to sit here and lie,” Rory McIlroy said. “I think the emergence of LIV, or the emergence of a competitor to the PGA Tour, has benefited everyone that plays elite professional golf. When you’ve been the biggest golf league in the biggest market in the world for the last 60 years, there’s not a lot of incentive to innovate.
“This has caused a ton of innovation at the PGA Tour, and what was quite — I would say — an antiquated system.”
McIlroy has been a strong voice in these changes, and it dates to a private meeting of select players in Delaware last August. Tiger Woods flew up from Florida to take part.
McIlroy said what was discussed in August is nothing like what was presented to the players last week after the quarterly board meeting. A players-only meeting was held Tuesday morning at The Players Championship that lasted some two hours.
In Delaware, the idea was to have 14 tournaments with no more than 60 players, with some 80% of the players staying at that elite level.
Monahan and the tour wanted the turnover rate closer to what it is now.
“The structure that has been rolled out here is vastly different from the one that we all talked about and the guys saw in Delaware, and I think for the betterment of everyone,” McIlroy said. “I think if we had went down that road, it doesn’t serve the membership anywhere near as well as what this structure does.”
Monahan said the tour was guided by wanting the top players to compete against each other more often. He said the top 30 players in the world competed under 40% of the time outside of the majors.
That puts enormous pressure on players to make the top 70 who advance to the FedEx Cup playoffs, and even more on those trying to get into the top 50. They are set for all the big events in 2024.
Monahan said the FedEx Cup standings would continue into the fall, where players can start working toward 10 additional spots in the big events, and others can make sure they stay in the top 125 to retain full PGA Tour cards.
Tour officials estimate that anyone who finishes around 90th after the regular season could keep their cards without having to play in the fall.
For all the changes, Justin Thomas said it still came down to good golf.
“When every single one of us signed up to play golf, you knew that the better you played, the better tournaments you were going to be into, and the worse you played, you may not even have a job anymore or you may be on a developmental tour or whatever it may be,” Thomas said. “None of that is changing.”

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Two Baton Rouge police officers died Sunday when their helicopter crashed into a sugarcane field, Louisiana authorities said.
The Robinson R-44 helicopter went out at 2 a.m. to help with a pursuit and never returned, local media reported. The aircraft’s disappearance wasn’t noticed for several hours, when a search was launched. The wreckage was found before 11 a.m.
The names of the officers have not been released.
“On behalf of the City of Baton Rouge, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of the BRPD officers who tragically lost their lives,” Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said on Twitter.
Baton Rouge police officials did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating the crash.

High school reschedules graduation ceremony due to only 5 seniors found eligible to graduate
MARLIN, Texas (KWTX/Gray News) - A high school in Texas has rescheduled its graduation ceremony after most of the senior class was found ineligible to graduate.
According to the Marlin Independent School District, the ceremony has been pushed to June to give nearly 30 seniors more time to meet graduation requirements.
According to an audit from the district, 28 of 33 seniors at Marlin High School did not meet the graduation requirements due to their attendance or grades.
“We hold firm to our belief that every student in Marlin ISD can and will achieve their potential,” said Superintendent Darryl Henson. “Students will be held to the same high standard as any other student in Texas.”
Alondra Alvarado is among the five that met the graduation requirements.
“They told us that because of the students that didn’t meet the requirements it wouldn’t be fair for only five students to walk the stage,” Alvarado said.
Salvador Guerrero is one of the 28 seniors who was told he was not eligible to graduate. He said he learned last week that he needs to complete the STAAR test for an online U.S. history course, but the test is not available until the summer.
“It’s a bag of emotions, anxiety, and a bit of disappointment,” he said.
The decision to reschedule the school’s graduation ceremony was made this week. School officials said they are also planning a mandatory meeting with seniors and their parents Wednesday night.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "This idea came to me in a dream," said an inventor from Louisville, Ky., "The STORYTIME NIGHT LIGHT can help children feel bonded to a parent when away because mom or dad can still read the bedtime story to the child."
The patent-pending invention provides comfort for children who are fearful of the dark or who are missing their parent. It can entertain and soothes a child at night, naptime, or quiet time. The night light is easily transportable to be used in the baby's nursery or bedroom, or when at grandma's house, the babysitter, a hotel, etc. It's child-friendly design may help children to be more cooperative at bedtime and relieves parents of the task of reading the same story over and over.
The original design was submitted to the Nashville sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 20-NAM-193, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Human remains found in storage unit identified as former police chief
GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) - Human remains found in a west-central Illinois storage unit have been identified as those of a former police chief.
The remains discovered last fall are those of Richard R. Young, 71, the former Maquon village police chief, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The sheriff’s office received confirmation of the identity Tuesday after taking DNA from the decomposed remains and comparing it to samples from Young’s relatives.
The remains were found on Oct. 7, 2022, at Roberts Self Storage in Maquon after Knox County deputies responded to a complaint about an odor coming from the storage unit.
It’s not clear how Young died.
Marcy Oglesby, 50, of Maquon has been charged with first-degree murder and concealing the death of a person in the case. She has pleaded not guilty. Oglesby remains in custody at the Knox County Jail.
Maquon is about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.

The addition of Mike's Auto Body and its 17 locations will strengthen Crash Champions' presence in Northern California and bring the Company's total locations across the state to 51
This acquisition brings Crash Champions' total U.S. locations to ~220 across 20 states and the District of Columbia
CHICAGO, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crash Champions (or the "Company"), one of the nation's fastest-growing independent collision repair companies, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Mike's Auto Body, a leading family-owned collision repair multi-shop operator ("MSO") in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Slated to close in early August 2022, all 17 Mike's Auto Body locations will operate under the Crash Champions name and banner, bringing the Company's total number of shops in California to 51. This is a major industry development that not only adds another leading name in California into the Crash Champions platform, but rounds out the Company's footprint in the Golden State.
Having first opened its doors in 1972, Mike's Auto Body has become a well-known and trusted leader in the San Francisco Bay Area for providing high quality collision repairs and outstanding customer service. Founded by Mike Rose, the business offers a full suite of modern collision repair services at its 17 state-of-the-art locations, spanning Napa to Fremont. For a complete list of locations, click here.
"For nearly 50 years, Mike's Auto Body has been a model of excellence for our industry," said Matt Ebert, founder and CEO of Crash Champions. "When you look at our incredible growth over the last three years, there's a common theme with every M&A transaction we've completed: true partnership with great operators. Every deal we have done has been rooted in identifying the right partners who share our operational ethos, and never has this been truer than with Mike's Auto Body. The Rose family has built a phenomenal business with a stellar reputation and robust footprint that fits well with our platform in California. I'm thrilled to welcome the Rose family and their team to Crash Champions, and I look forward to our future together."
Following the transaction, Mike Rose, Brennan Rose, and Ragen Rose-Ortland will become equity holders in the Company.
“After five decades of building this business into the respected leader it is today, I could not be prouder to partner with Matt Ebert and Crash Champions to begin a new chapter,” said Founder Mike Rose. “This is a tremendous day in our history, and we are all very excited to take this next step.”
Ragen Rose-Ortland, CFO of Mike’s Auto Body, added: “Matt and his team have demonstrated a clear commitment to their customers, employees, and the neighborhoods where they live and work, which was important to us with our choice of national MSOs. As we join together with Crash Champions, we know we’re in great hands.”
“Since our founding, we have been doing business the right way and putting the people we serve first,” said Brennan Rose, CEO of Mike’s Auto Body. “This approach has led to our success, and in Crash Champions, we know we have found a partner who shares this mission and philosophy—ensuring that our values are maintained moving forward. This is a monumental day for the Mike’s Auto Body family, and I look forward to what the future holds under the Crash Champions banner.”
Crash Champions first entered the California market in early 2020 with the acquisition of Pacific Elite, a 23-location operation in Southern California. This was followed by the acquisition of Fountain Valley Bodyworks, an Orange County-based operator of two of the highest-performing collision repair shops in the country, in October 2020. Through a handful of successful transactions that followed, Crash Champions then entered the Northern California market with the addition of five locations in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2021-2022. With the addition of Mike's Auto Body, the Company now operates 51 high-performing shops throughout the state. This impressive expansion further solidifies Crash Champion's position as one of the largest collision repair companies (by location) in California.
"California has been a major focus for us, as evident by our many transactions in the market over the last few years," added Mr. Ebert. "With the addition of Mike's Auto Body—and the experienced team behind their success—our platform now includes powerful assets and capabilities in the center of Northern California. Combined with our strong presence throughout the greater Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego regions, we are now one of the top players in almost every major market of the state. This is yet another key milestone in our incredible growth story, and we're just getting started."

AURORA, Ill. — Aurora city leaders will take their final vote Tuesday on the relocation and expansion of the Hollywood Casino.
The proposed move and expansion cleared a committee last week with no objections, but city leaders can expect to get an earful before tonight’s vote.
At least one group is planning to protest the vote.
The proposal calls for the casino to move from its current location on the Fox River, closer to Interstate 88 and Farnsworth. The new $360 million casino campus would include a 200 room hotel and a 10,000-square-foot event center.
Members of the Aurora Grassroots Alliance have been collecting signatures and plan to present it to city leaders at Tuesday night’s meeting after a rally outside city hall. They are opposed to the city issuing a nearly $50 million bond to investors, Penn Entertainment, as well as giving them the city-owned land for the project.
The city argues in exchange for the land, Penn Entertainment agreed to invest $300 million in the new project and would transfer the property the casino currently sits on to the city, along with two parking garages.
Penn Entertainment said it would demolish the current casino, as well as agree to repay the $50 million bond through taxes generated from the new site — and the city says Penn Entertainment has agreed to make up any difference if the taxes aren’t covered in a given tax year.
Hollywood Casino said the move to a more resort-style operation and a heavy traffic area will be better for business. Still opponents feels it’s not a good deal for tax payers.
The city says the project will create about 1,000 construction jobs and 700 permanent jobs.
If it is passed, construction would begin in 2023. The protest and rally will begin at 5 p.m. tonight. Their hope is city leaders will delay a final vote on the project.

(The HIll) – President Biden’s approval rating ticked up 3 percentage points in the past week, according to a Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday, as Democrats scored a major legislative win with the passage of their climate, health and tax reform package.
The poll showed that 42 percent of registered voters said they approve of the job Biden is doing as president. The same poll released last week showed Biden’s approval rating was at 39 percent.
At the same time the number of registered voters who said they disapproved of his job performance dropped from 59 to 56 percent.
The latest poll is likely welcome news for Democrats less than three months ahead of November’s midterms. Presidential approval ratings are considered one indication of how the president’s party will perform in elections, though Democrats still face other headwinds.
The survey was conducted in the days after House Democrats passed a sweeping health, tax reform and climate bill with every member of the caucus voting in favor. Senate Democrats had passed the bill through reconciliation the previous week.
Biden signed the measure Tuesday.
It was a key win for the president and his party after a year of trying to pass various versions of a larger climate and social spending bill and being stymied by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) because passing the measure through reconciliation required the support of all 50 Democrats.
The surprise deal between Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) was a slimmed down package but it still contained some of Biden’s campaign promises and significant climate investments.
The Politico-Morning Consult poll was conducted between Aug. 12 and Aug. 14 with 2,005 registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, the Columbus City Council issued a resolution declaring December as National Impaired Driving Prevention Month in the City of Columbus and commended RADD Ohio for its efforts to educate young adults ages 18-25 about the risks of impaired driving.
This year, RADD Ohio reached more of its target audience through the use of music, video, event activations and positive messaging about the importance of making a plan to get home safely if using alcohol or marijuana.
RADD's mission has taken new urgency this holiday season. According to a new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study "50% of seriously or fatally injured road users tested positive for alcohol or some type of impairing substance, with cannabis (25%) being the most prevalent."
RADD thanks and commends its funders from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, along with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Columbus City Council and local law enforcement agencies for effecting a dramatic reduction in substance-related crash fatalities: Between January 1 and November 30, 2022, there have been 1,073 crashes due to a driver's impairment from alcohol or other drugs within Franklin County, down from nearly 1,300 during the same period last year.
"Preventing impaired driving is an important component of our Vision Zero Columbus Action Plan," states Councilmember Lourdes Barroso de Padilla who chairs Columbus City Council's Public Service & Transportation Committee. "RADD Ohio's efforts to encourage young adults to make a plan to get home safely complements Vision Zero's work to eliminate fatal and serious crashes on Columbus streets."
During the past year, RADD Ohio connected with its audience at the Classic for Columbus basketball game in April, concert activations at multiple venues in Columbus through a growing partnership with AEG/Promowest, and at WonderBus music festival in Columbus with more than 15,000 attendees, where RADD Ohio was a stage sponsor.
"2022 was a year of significant growth for RADD Ohio," said Erin Meluso, President of RADD. "I'm proud of the work we've accomplished this year and encouraged that the number of alcohol and drug-impaired crashes is trending downward in Franklin County, despite a rising trend nationally. We still have work to do, however, and I look forward to continued work with our partners to meet young adults where they live, work, and play in 2023."
In addition, RADD Ohio expanded its reach to Cleveland with concert activations at the House of Blues and as a stage sponsor at WonderStruck music festival in the Cleveland area.
RADD Ohio partners with Ohio universities and concert venues in the form of music event activations that provide RADD team members an opportunity to engage concertgoers with positive, proactive messages about the importance of making a plan to get home safely, using fun activities, games, ticket giveaways and other promotions. RADD Ohio also proudly partners with Ohio-based musicians such as TrigNO, Hello Luna, Bird & Byron and many others to help communicate its messages (see: https://raddohio.org/radd-tv/).
RADD Ohio is a collaborative effort between the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, RADD-Recording Artists Against Drunk Driving, and the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery at The Ohio State University, plus partnerships with entertainment venues through AEG/PromoWest and Ohio universities statewide to educate young adults on the importance of making a plan before they go out to get everyone home safely.

California-based RADD has been honored with three prestigious national awards, two National Highway Traffic Safety Association Lifesavers Awards and one Governors Highway Safety Association Award in acknowledgement of its outstanding DUI prevention work with teens, younger adults ages 18-34, and communities, inclusive of regional and national coalition-building. As a proud member of the Governors Highway Safety Administration (GHSA) and the National Alliance to Stop Impaired Driving (NASID), RADD's primary focus is creating lifestyle-oriented alcohol and drug driving prevention programming for college students. The RADD Ohio Project is the pilot for a national model that will be expanding to other states in 2023. To learn more, please visit www.radd.org and www.raddohio.org.
An academic center at The Ohio State University, the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery (HECAOD) is a collaboration between the College of Social Work, College of Pharmacy and the Office of Student Life. It provides tools, training and technical assistance to campus professionals working to address collegiate substance misuse across the continuum.

Abortion pill access case: Judge wants ‘less advertisement’
(AP) - A federal judge overseeing a high-stakes case that could threaten access to medication abortion across the nation told lawyers not to publicize upcoming arguments in the lawsuit and that “less advertisement of this hearing is better,” according to a transcript of the meeting, in a move experts say is outside the norm in the U.S. judicial system.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk — who was appointed by former President Donald Trump and is known for conservative views — told attorneys during a status conference by telephone on Friday that because the case has prompted death threats and protests, he didn’t want the hearing to be highly publicized.
“And because of limited security resources and staffing, I will ask that the parties avoid further publicizing the date of the hearing,” the judge said, according to the transcript released Tuesday. “This is not a gag order but just a request for courtesy given the death threats and harassing phone calls and voicemails that this division has received.”
Kacsmaryk did not specify who made threats.
“We want a fluid hearing with all parties being heard. I think less advertisement of this hearing is better,” the judge said in asking lawyers not to Tweet about the hearing so that the court could avoid “any unnecessary circus-like atmosphere of what should be more of an appellate-style proceeding.”
The judge, based in Amarillo, Texas, said he planned to issue an order setting the hearing on Tuesday, one day before the hearing on Wednesday. Kacsmaryk ultimately issued the order Monday after The Washington Post reported on his attempt to keep the hearing under wraps.
Terry Maroney, a professor at Vanderbilt University Law School who studies federal judges, said they often have security concerns in high-profile cases, but Kacsmaryk’s handling of such worries was unusual.
“I have not heard of anybody doing this,” Maroney said of Kacsmaryk seeking to delay public notice of the case. “It does strike me as unusual and not proper.”
Maroney said that while Kacsmaryk noted his request to avoid publicity was not an order, most lawyers would nonetheless be inclined to obey when a judge frames a request as a matter of safety. “It functionally operates as a gag order,” she said.
University of Oklahoma law professor Joseph Thai called it “deeply concerning” for a federal judge to try to keep the public in the dark.
“The fact that the Trump-appointed judge is deciding a highly political question, potentially denying millions of women across the country a safe and effective abortion pill, makes it all the more critical to ensure public notice and access to the hearing at which their rights will—or will not—be heard,” Thai said. “Nothing less than the legitimacy of the judicial branch is at stake.”
The closely watched lawsuit is challenging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s more than 20-year approval of the drug mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions which account for more than half of the abortions in the U.S.
The suit was filed by a group that helped challenge Roe v. Wade, which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down last year, stripping away women’s constitutional protections for abortion.
Impacts of a ruling against the FDA could take years to play out. It could affect states regardless of whether abortion is legal there.

(WTRF) – Obesity is a common, chronic disease among many U.S. adults and children, but some states have higher rates than others.
US News & World Report factored CDC adult obesity rates into the outlet’s annual state rankings and found that West Virginia is the most obese, with a 40.4% rate.
“Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic concern. It’s a medical problem that increases the risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.”
The CDC defines obesity as “weight that is higher than what is considered healthy for a given height.” To classify as obese, and not overweight, one’s body mass index (BMI) – or one’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters – must be 30.0 or higher.
The adult obesity rate is one of six metrics U.S. News used to come up with the best and worst states for public health. The other metrics included are: mortality rate, suicide rate, smoking rate, mental health, and infant mortality rate.
See the five states with the highest adult obesity rates below, according to the study:
- West Virginia (40.7%)
- Alabama (40.4%)
- Kentucky (40.3%)
- Oklahoma (39.6%)
- Mississippi (39.2%)
See the entire ranking of the 10 states with the highest adult obesity rate here.
In the overall “Best States for 2023” ranking, all five states did not fare especially well, ranking 46, 44, 39, 43 and 48, respectively. Along with public health, the “Best States” ranking weighs eight factors ranging from the natural environment to job opportunities and more.
The best state this year was Utah, which received especially high marks for economy, education, health care, infrastructure and fiscal stability.

BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – Broome County District Attorney Mike Korchak has picked up the endorsement of a prominent Republican former elected official
Former Broome County Sheriff Dave Harder announced his support of Korchak during a news conference this morning at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Binghamton.
Harder served 58 years in the Sheriff’s Office and was elected Sheriff 6 times.
He says he worked with Korchak over the past 3 years before his retirement on December 31st.
Harder says Korchak is doing a tremendous job as DA.
“He’s changed things around at the District Attorney’s Office. My words are: it was a corrupt office, he took the corruption out of it and made it a decent office and he’s out there fighting for victims’ rights every day.”
Korchak also took the opportunity to rail against what he calls local attorney Paul Battisti’s campaign of deceit.
The 2 men are expected to face each other in a GOP primary in June.
Korchak says Battisti is manipulating statistics to paint a false picture of crime in the county.
And he claims Battisti is smearing him by suggesting he’s not a Republican.
Korchak says he’s following guidance from the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York in seeking as many political lines as possible.
And Korchak slammed Battisti for representing murderers, rapists and fentanyl dealers in his role as a criminal defense attorney.
“I am not owned by politicians. I owe no one any favors. I answer to the people. I don’t answer to parties, I don’t answer to politicians. I answer to the people and I support the Blue, I support crime victims and I always will.”
Battisti responded that Korchak is resorting to personal attacks in an effort to distract from his abysmal record.
Battisti contends that crime is up, overdoses are up, and too many families in Broome County don’t feel safe.
Battisti says he has solutions to make the community safe.

Reimagined two-story Taco Bell Defy opens in the Midwest – here’s what makes it unique
(Gray News) – Taco Bell is taking things to new heights – literally. In partnership with Border Foods, the company launched in Minnesota its first Taco Bell Defy store.
The two-story building features several drive-thru lanes, all with different functions – for pre-orders on the app, delivery drivers and the traditional drive-thru.
But what really makes this location unique is the innovative technology to transport Taco Bell menu items straight from the kitchen to customers.
The new fast-food restaurant uses an elevated kitchen and vertical lift to deliver food in the drive-thru lanes for a faster, contactless experience.
According to Border Foods, the new Taco Bell uses digital check-in screens for mobile orders and two-way audio and video technology services for customers to talk to team members on the second floor.
“Taco Bell Defy embodies the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit of Minnesota businesses and franchisees,” said Lee Engler, co-founder and CEO of Border Foods. “It is a creative, technological solution for a faster, contactless experience for as many Taco Bell fans as possible and is poised to be the future of quick-service dining.”

KEY WEST, Fla. (WFLA) — Archaeologists have found the remains of a 19th-century quarantine hospital on what was once an above-sea island in the Florida Keys, according to the National Park Service.
Monday, Dry Tortugas National Park announced the discovery of the archaeological site near Garden Key. It was found as part of a survey first conducted in August 2022 by cultural resources staff, the National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center, the Southeast Archeological Center, and a University of Miami graduate student.
Park officials said the hospital was used to treat yellow fever patients from Fort Jefferson between 1890 and 1900.
So far, only one grave has been identified. Officials said it belonged to laborer John Greer, who died on Nov. 5, 1861, of unknown causes while working at Fort Jefferson.
According to the National Park Service, Greer’s grave was a headstone-shaped slab of greywacke, which was the same material used in the construction of Fort Jefferson’s first floor. It bore his name and date of death.
Historical records suggest that the Fort Jefferson Post Cemetery once held the graves of dozens of people, most of them being U.S. soldiers.
“This intriguing find highlights the potential for untold stories in Dry Tortugas National Park, both above and below the water,” Josh Marano, maritime archeologist for the south Florida national parks and project director for the survey, said in the news release. “Although much of the history of Fort Jefferson focuses on the fortification itself and some of its infamous prisoners, we are actively working to tell the stories of the enslaved people, women, children and civilian laborers.”
Officials said aside from its history as a prison during the American Civil War, Fort Jefferson also served as “a naval coaling outpost, lighthouse station, naval hospital, quarantine facility,” harbor, and military training center.
As the population of the fort increased, the risk of diseases like yellow fever also rose, leading to outbreaks that killed dozens of people in the 1860s and 1870s.
The National Park Service said this required some of the islands surrounding Garden Key to be fitted with quarantine hospitals. Many of the hospitals closed after Fort Jefferson was abandoned in 1973, but when the U.S. Marine Hospital Service took charge of Fort Jefferson in 1890, this required another isolation hospital to be developed on a nearby key.
Officials said the hospital’s underwater location showed the impact of climate change and storm events on the Florida Keys. Archaeologists are still working to learn more about Greer, and the others interred at the Fort Jefferson Post Cemetery.

FBI adds ‘CryptoQueen’ to Ten Most Wanted list, offers $100K reward
(Gray News) - The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of a woman known as the “CryptoQueen.”
The bureau added Ruja Ignatova to its list of the Ten Most Wanted fugitives Thursday.
Ignatova is accused of running what the FBI describes as a “massive fraud scheme” involving a Bulgarian-based virtual currency company called OneCoin, which Ignatova co-founded and allegedly used to scam more than $4 billion from cryptocurrency investors worldwide.
“Ignatova allegedly made false statements and representations about OneCoin to draw people to invest in OneCoin packages,” the FBI said in a news release. “According to investigators, Ignatova and her partner also promoted OneCoin through a multi-level marketing strategy that urged OneCoin investors to sell additional packages to friends and family.”
Special Agent Ronald Shimko said Ignatova targeted people “who may not have fully understood the ins and outs of cryptocurrencies but were moved by Ignatova’s impressive resume and the marketing strategies used by OneCoin,” according to the release.
Ignatova was charged Oct. 12, 2017, by the Southern District of New York and a federal warrant was issued for her arrest, but authorities said they believe she may have fled after being tipped off about the investigation.
The FBI said she traveled from Bulgaria to Greece on Oct. 25, 2017, and hasn’t been seen since.
Ignatova is wanted on several charges, including one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud.
Anyone with information on Ignatova’s whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or send a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
The FBI believes there may also be more victims who haven’t been identified. Those victims are also encouraged to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Darren Waller knows what this Giants trade comes down to: he has to stay healthy.
“Growth starts with being available as much as possible for the team,” the Giants’ new tight end said Wednesday at the team facility.
Waller has had a whirlwind week.
He got back from a tropical honeymoon on Monday, received a call from Raiders GM Dave Ziegler that he’d been traded on Tuesday, and arrived in East Rutherford, N.J., on Wednesday.
“I did not see this coming,” he said.
He passed his physical exam, a source said, making the trade from Vegas official.
“Yeah, nobody came and got me and kicked me out of the building yet, so I feel like I’m good,” Waller said with a smile when asked if he was all clear.
He knew that was a valid question, though, because it’s the big question surrounding the Giants’ shiniest new acquisition this week:
Can Waller, who missed 14 of the Raiders’ 34 games the past two seasons, stay on the field enough to help Daniel Jones take Brian Daboll’s offense to new heights?
“I believe wholeheartedly in myself, and I believe through action and consistent performance, Giants fans will believe, as well,” Waller said on Zoom. “They can have questions at this moment about my health. Those are legitimate concerns. But … I’m willing to be the best I can be, to be a weapon for this team …. to get to the next level it wants to go to.”
That all sounds great. Waller’s plan to stay more durable, however, was curious.
It sounds like he thinks that putting less stress on his body in the offseason is now the key, even though the way he became one of the NFL’s best receiving tight ends was by working harder than ever.
“I’m feeling great right now,” he said. “The biggest adjustment I’ve had to make going into this offseason is making sure I’m peaking at the right time. I feel like something that helped me elevate my game to such a high level was working myself so hard in those 2018, 2019, 2020 offseasons to where it [was] almost too hard, and that kind of became my norm.
“So now it’s about how do I become more efficient with it,” he added, “and making sure I’m peaking when the season starts — not showing up to training camp having worked so hard that I’m almost exhausted and that doesn’t set me up for success or the team for success.”
If Waller is looking for a reduced workload and maintenance days, he came to the right place.
Daboll and the Giants’ training staff dialed player practice workloads way back last spring, summer and fall. It didn’t exactly work to their benefit.
Soft tissue injuries roared through the team, including torn and strained ACLs and MCLs, and a rash of neck injuries hit, too. Ten of their 11 draft picks missed time due to injury.
The Giants finished as the NFL’s sixth most-injured team in 2022, per ManGamesLost.com.
They still made the playoffs at 9-7-1, thanks to a 6-1 start paced by strong defense and either competent or opportunistic offense.
But the point is that this trade for Waller, in exchange for a late third-round pick, only works if his body holds up like it hasn’t since the 2020 Covid season. And the Giants haven’t excelled at keeping players on the field lately.
A hamstring nagged Waller last season and sent him to injured reserve. He only played in nine games. His 2023 contract carries an $11 million salary, a $200,000 workout bonus and another $1.275 million in per-game roster bonuses.
So the hope is that Waller turns back the clock on his availability. To help him do that, he’ll have a familiar face in his corner: tight ends coach Andy Bischoff.
Bischoff was a Ravens quality control coach, offensive assistant and an assistant assigned to tight ends during Waller’s lowest time as a professional after being drafted by Baltimore in 2015.
Drug addiction got Waller suspended for the entire 2017 NFL season before the Ravens eventually released him in Nov. 2018.
But on Wednesday, he was able to have lunch with Bischoff and his dad at the Giants’ facility in a refreshing, full circle moment.
“He’s seen me in low moments, in moments where I was getting my foot back in the door and trying to be consistent and reliable as a member of the practice squad and organization,” Waller said. “To meet now and continue on this journey is a pretty cool thing.”
Waller said he is looking forward to playing for Daboll, citing the “high-octane offense” he saw when Daboll “was in Buffalo.” He admitted “there are moments where I haven’t performed as well as I would’ve liked,” and he’s hoping to be his best self this season.
It’s certainly encouraging that a guy who had 107 catches for 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020 is motivated to show his new team and fanbase that he can do that again.
Waller did note that while “it’s a bit of a curveball” to be traded across the country from his new wife, Kelsey Plum of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, one day after their honeymoon, “she supports me and wants to see me shine to my ultimate potential.”
In response to a tweet that Raiders coach Josh McDaniels had traded Waller as a wedding present, Plum tweeted: “Prolly cause he wasn’t invited to the wedding lol.”
“I’m grateful to have her support,” Waller said, “and we’re gonna do whatever it takes to remain strong together whatever the distance looks like, the timing of it.”
As far as timing goes, Waller said there haven’t been discussions yet about making this a longer-term relationship than just one trial season, with no guaranteed money in his contract past 2023. But he hopes his play will take care of that.
“I’m focussed on what I can do this offseason and this season,” he said. “Because without a successful this season, the future doesn’t really necessarily matter right now.”

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Many Somalis are reacting with horror — and a sense of understanding — at British runner Mo Farah’s tale of being trafficked to Britain as a child and forced to look after other children.
Olympic champion Farah was born in present-day Somaliland, a territory by the Gulf of Aden that has asserted independence from the Horn of Africa nation of Somalia. In a BBC documentary aired earlier this week Farah revealed how as a boy of 8 or 9 he was separated from his family and trafficked from neighboring Djibouti to the UK under a new name under which he eventually ran for glory.
Here, in the Somali capital Mogadishu, those who have heard of Farah’s account express sadness for what he went through as a child forced to work in servitude. But they also point out that he was not alone in facing exploitation.
Conflict, climate change and economic collapse are displacing record numbers of people around the world, pushing more and more migrants into the hands of criminals who profit by smuggling them into Britain, the European Union and the U.S.
Somalis, like their neighbors in Ethiopia and Eritrea, are often among the desperate — people fleeing conflict and hunger in hopes of safety and a better life. Convinced they have little to lose, the young, in particular, risk their lives on flimsy boats organized by human traffickers who get them across the English Channel to Britain.
Those who can afford it pay thousands of dollars to reach countries where they hope to find jobs and security. Others fall prey to criminals who force them into sex work, drug crimes and domestic servitude.
Wealthier countries lack robust policies to respond to this complicated situation. Britain has welcomed refugees from Ukraine, for example, while proposing to deport asylum seekers from other places to Rwanda. While Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the Rwanda plan will break the business model of criminals who smuggle people across the Channel in inflatable boats, immigrant activists are suing over a plan they describe as illegal and inhumane.
Farah, who represented Britain at three straight Summer Olympics in 2008, 2012 and 2016, is a rare success story. Many others trying to escape poverty, hunger and violence in countries such as Somalia don’t get so lucky — the reason many activists here say efforts must be put into supporting local governments to eradicate the many reasons people wish to go.
“It is certainly sad that Mo Farah had such a bad experience as a boy,” said Ahmed Dini, who runs the Mogadishu-based children’s rights group Peace-Line. “It has become evident that there are many contributing factors to child trafficking, such as poverty, a lack of adequate education, and insufficient security.”
Farah still has family members — including his mother and two brothers — living on a farm near Hargeisa, the Somaliland capital. He said in the BBC film that his father was killed during unrest when the boy was 4.
In the documentary, produced by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, Farah said that when he left Africa he thought he was going to Europe to live with relatives and had a piece of paper with the contact details. But the woman he ended up with tore his papers and took him to an apartment in west London where he was forced to care for her children.
Farah said his fortunes in Britain changed when he was finally allowed to attend school. A teacher who was interviewed for the documentary recalled a 12-year-old boy who appeared “unkempt and uncared for,” was “emotionally and culturally alienated” and spoke little English.
Farah eventually told his story to a physical education instructor. The teacher contacted local officials, who arranged for a Somali family to take him in as a foster child. He soon blossomed on the track.
Anti-slavery advocates say Farah is the most prominent person to come forward as a victim of modern-day slavery, a crime that is often hidden because it occurs behind closed doors and inflicts such trauma on its victims.
Now that a man of such celebrity has spoken of his experience, there can no longer be any doubt about the horror of child servitude even among ordinary Somalis who otherwise would find his account “unusual,” said Bashir Abdi, an academic based in Mogadishu.
“Children consistently face abuses, but the story this renowned athlete revealed has captured the attention of many people, including Somalis,” he said. “We often hear of child exploitations and I believe that significant (numbers of) Somali children go through domestic violence and abuses, but little is exposed to the public.”
Amina Ali, a stay-home mother of four in Mogadishu, told The Associated Press that it was tough for her to hear the story of a 9-year-old boy “so weak and helpless forced to clean house and change the diapers of other kids.”
“As a mother, I felt sadness for him once I have listened,” she said. “Praise be to Allah that he is no longer under those circumstances. However, he is now at some point where he can reveal his story and I wish those (who) committed that abuse to be brought before justice one day.”

Two Pennsylvania judges who orchestrated a scheme to send children to for-profit jails in exchange for kickbacks were ordered to pay more than $200 million to hundreds who fell victim to their crimes.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner awarded $106 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages to nearly 300 people in a long-running civil suit against the judges, writing the plaintiffs are “the tragic human casualties of a scandal of epic proportions.”
In what came to be known as the “kids-for-cash scandal,” Mark Ciavarella and another judge, Michael Conahan, shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and accepted $2.8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups. Ciavarella, who presided over juvenile court, pushed a zero-tolerance policy that guaranteed large numbers of kids would be sent to PA Child Care and its sister facility, Western PA Child Care.
Ciavarella ordered children as young as 8 to detention, many of them first-time offenders convicted of petty theft and other minor crimes. The judge often ordered youths he had found delinquent to be immediately shackled, handcuffed and taken away without giving them a chance to say goodbye to their families.
“Ciavarella and Conahan abandoned their oath and breached the public trust,” Conner wrote Tuesday in his explanation of the judgment. “Their cruel and despicable actions victimized a vulnerable population of young people, many of whom were suffering from emotional issues and mental health concerns.”
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out some 4,000 juvenile convictions after the scheme was uncovered.
Ciavarella is serving a 28-year prison sentence. Conahan, who was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison, was released to home confinement in 2020 — with six years left on his sentence — because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s not clear whether the plaintiffs — now well into adulthood — will see any of the damages award. Luzerne County, a onetime defendant, was dismissed from the case years ago.
Marsha Levick, co-founder and chief counsel of the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center and a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said Wednesday she “can’t imagine there is any money out there.”
Conner ruled after hearing testimony last fall from 282 people who appeared in Ciavarella’s courtroom — 79 of whom were under 13 when Ciavarella sent them to juvenile detention — and 32 parents.
“They recounted his harsh and arbitrary nature, his disdain for due process, his extraordinary abruptness, and his cavalier and boorish behavior in the courtroom,” Conner wrote.
To calculate compensatory damages, he decided each plaintiff was entitled to a base rate of $1,000 for each day of wrongful detention and adjusted that amount based on the circumstances of each case.

Pumpkin farms turn into theme parks every October. This is when families across Arkansas head out to buy the raw material for their Halloween jack-o'-lanterns, while also enjoying hayrides, corn mazes, piglet races, face painting and a mix of other fun.
Fifteen Arkansas sites, a half-dozen of them less than an hour's drive from downtown Little Rock, are listed on the national website pumpkinpatches.com. Most are owned and operated by families, and a couple have been in business for decades. They figure to be jam-packed this weekend and next, but less crowded on the pre-Halloween weekdays they're open.
An online visit to pumpkinpatches.com/arkansas provides detailed information on all the farms. That includes their location with maps, days and times of operation, admission and activity fees as well as price ranges for the pumpkins. Future jack-o'-lanterns can be picked straight from the vine or bought from tented displays. Snacks and beverages are available for sale. Pets are generally barred from the attraction grounds.
One of the busiest spots in Central Arkansas is Motley's Pumpkin Patch, 13724 Sandy Ann Drive on the southern fringe of Little Rock, east of Geyer Springs Road. Tractor-drawn wagon rides take visitors into the fields for picking. A popular new attraction is the Super Mega Slide, which propels riders sitting on inner tubes down an inflatable ramp. The farm's pig races feature cute piglets not that much larger than a house cat.
Adults visiting BoBrook Farms Pumpkin Patch, 13810 Combee Lane, Roland, can relax with a glass of wine after tracking down the ideal jack-o'-lantern. The site's River Bottom Winery, with a balcony patio overlooking the pumpkin field, offers dry, semi-sweet and sweet wines by the glass. A distinctive sweet choice is chocolate raspberry. Beer is also available. The pumpkin patch offers pig races, mazes and hayrides.
A favorite photo spot at Roseberry Farms, 12223 Arkansas 9, northwest of Benton, is a silhouette of a tractor pulling a cart of pumpkins. Youngsters (and young-at-heart adults) can stick their faces in the drawing's four cutouts and have their mugs whimsically snapped via smartphone. Along with a hayride and a mini-train, both pulled by tractors, they can enjoy a trip into the pumpkin fields in a carriage pulled by a black horse.
On weekends, youngsters at Schaefers Pumpkin Patch, 864 Lollie Road, Mayflower, can ride a pony. Every day of the week, they can crawl through hay tunnels, jump around on hay bales, and play in a jumbo-size sandbox. There's also a learning center for youngsters and adults, with explanations of different grain and vegetable seed along with equipment used on the farm.
Hicks Family Farms, 184 Lasiter Road, between Cabot and Lonoke, sets a folksy tone on its website with this message: "We've got more going on out here than a chicken has feathers!" The action includes both a challenging seven-acre corn maze and a compact maze of straw bales for young visitors. Pony rides and hay rides are among the other possibilities on a farm that has been in the Hicks family since 1913.
Most of the pumpkins bought this month in Arkansas, at seasonal farm setups and elsewhere, will be bought for the carving. Once upon a time, they had wider uses. Some people believed they could be used to remove freckles and heal snake bites. It was also thought their pulp could cure digestive problems in cats and dogs.
Their starring role these days still extends beyond Halloween decor. Next month, they'll take a Thanksgiving Day curtain call as pumpkin pie.

As student experience becomes an increasing challenge, improving the experience requires effective integration of operations and insightful analytics on student behavior.
TORONTO, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a marked shift in students' preference toward online and hybrid modes of instruction. This sudden change has increased the demand for technology in learning institutions. Additionally, focus on improving the student experience is becoming an increasing challenge for colleges and universities as it expands beyond the institution's historical area of technological competence. As a result, institutions are struggling to fulfill the student's high expectations amidst a decline in enrolment and low funding. To help institutions connect their students beyond the classroom, through social interactions and academic engagement, global IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group has published its latest industry blueprint, Align IT With Institutional Priorities for Student Experience.
The firm's new blueprint for the higher education industry implies technology has an important role in improving the student experience. However, most institutions' current technology ecosystem cannot meet the challenge. One of the primary challenges is that the technology for learning and communication does not meet the student's expectations. Also, the technology for operations is not optimized to support the student's needs. In order to compete and improve the student experience, institutions must have better data management and efficient data governance.
The research further suggests a better student experience requires effective integration of operations and insightful analytics on student behavior, neither of which can be achieved without strong data management. Info-Tech advises that institutions seeking to improve student experience should identify the primary concerns of students and what technology is required to address these concerns. It is also important to address support for faculty and train them to use new technologies.
Technology for student engagement directly supports the students' learning and wider experience. Therefore, Info-Tech recommends institutions consider the following factors for a smooth shift in their technological advancement:
- Virtual Engagement: Institutions are advised to carry over the methods of virtual engagement from the pandemic, such as virtual campus tours, video explanations of financial aid processes, and online meetings with advisors.
- Student Portal: Although most institutions have a student portal, many come up short in meeting students' expectations, such as a mobile app for the portal and virtual engagement. It is recommended that institutions provide a mobile-first solution portal, offering frictionless and transactional services.
- Classroom Technology: Institutions should promote hybrid learning environments as they become increasingly prevalent. The key component for the progress is a collaboration between faculty, instructional design, and IT.
Info-Tech's research emphasizes that measuring these technologies' effectiveness and adoption has paramount importance to student experience. Therefore, learning institutions should try to obtain student feedback through surveys and leveraging the student council and other student organizations. It is also recommended that IT should do its best to gain student representation on their technology or innovation councils.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service Max may only be hours into its rollout, but it quickly came under fire by top Hollywood guilds for the way it credits writers and directors.
Early Wednesday, some started noticing a change to the credits on films. Instead of individually listing writers, directors and producers, the new Max format had lumped them all together. By Wednesday afternoon, the presidents of the Directors Guild of America and the Writers Guild of America West had issued a strongly worded joint statement condemning the “creator” credit.
Warner Bros. Discovery responded with a statement saying it was an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max and that it will be corrected. No timeline for restoring the writer and director credits was given.
“We agree that the talent behind the content on Max deserve their work to be properly recognized,” a Max spokesperson said. “We apologize for this mistake.”
But it hit a nerve for the guilds at a tense moment in the industry. The writers are on day 22 of a strike and the directors are in negotiations for a new contract.
It “echoes the message we heard in our negotiations …. that writers are marginal, inessential, and should simply accept being paid less and less, while our employers’ profits go higher and higher,” said Writers Guild of America West President Meredith Stiehm. “This tone-deaf disregard for writers’ importance is what brought us to where we are today.”
DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter added that it was “a grave insult to our members and our union” and that the “devaluation of the individual contributions of artists is a disturbing trend and the DGA will not stand for it.”

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Environmental groups on Thursday hailed a decision by the Biden administration to resume studying whether grizzly bears should be restored to the remote North Cascades mountains in Washington state.
The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said they would jointly prepare an environmental impact statement on restoring the endangered bears to the North Cascades ecosystem.
Humans killed the bears off from the ecosystem long ago and restoration there will contribute to the general recovery of the endangered animals in the Northwest, the agencies said.
“This overturns the Trump administration’s rash termination of these plans,” said Andrea Zaccardi of the Center for Biological Diversity. “Without a helping hand, grizzly bears are likely to disappear from the Pacific Northwest.”
But Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, who represents central Washington, criticized the plan.
“The introduction of grizzly bears into the North Cascades would directly, and negatively impact the people & communities I represent,” Newhouse tweeted. “It is disappointing our voices are once again being ignored, even after the last process was discontinued due to overwhelming local opposition.”
Newhouse said introducing an apex predator to the area would threaten families, wildlife, and livestock.
The agencies began a study of restoring grizzly bears to the North Cascades through a trapping and relocation process in 2015. But in 2020 the Trump administration terminated the process without explanation. The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit challenging the termination in federal court in the District of Columbia.
The North Cascades is one of the largest wild areas in the lower 48 states, encompassing more than 9,500 square miles (24,605 square kilometers) centered on North Cascades National Park. It also includes large areas of surrounding national forest.
Other conservation groups also praised the decision.
“For far too long the North Cascades have been missing an integral part of their unique ecosystem,” said Kathleen Callaghy of Defenders of Wildlife. “Returning the grizzlies will finally make this incredible wilderness whole again.”
The environmental impact statement process will include an opportunity for public comment at four virtual public hearings between Nov. 15 and Dec. 2.
“We’re cautiously optimistic that this process will lead to a decision on how to successfully restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades through sound science and robust public involvement,” said Gordon Congdon, a retired fruit grower in nearby Wenatchee, Washington.
The North Cascades Ecosystem is one of only two grizzly recovery areas without an established population of bears, and due to its relative distance and isolation from other zones it would not likely be repopulated from natural bear migration, environmental groups have said.
“We know how to move bears successfully into new places and we know how to live with them safely,” said Chris Servheen, who retired in 2016 after 35 years as Grizzly Bear Recovery Coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and continues to advocate for grizzly recovery.
Under the proposal, the two agencies would capture grizzly bears in British Columbia or from the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem in the Rocky Mountains. Approximately three to seven grizzly bears would be released into the North Cascades each year over roughly five to 10 years.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jon Rahm is a Masters champion, and he can say he saw this coming based on the message in a fortune cookie from a Chinese fast-food chain nearly 10 years ago.
Rahm was starting his sophomore year at Arizona State when he cracked open the fortune that read: “Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded.” He took to Twitter to share the message with his coach, Tim Mickelson, and wrote, “I am gonna win the masters!”
If only it were that simple. Nothing about this Masters was until the 28-year-old Spaniard lofted a wedge over the bunker to 3 feet for a final par that gave him a four-shot victory over Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, the older brother of his college coach.
From the time he began his second round on Friday, Rahm never had the lead until Koepka began to lose his swing and his putting touch. It took Rahm 42 holes before he got his name in front again, and then he seized control with more miscues from Koepka and the brawler mentality to do whatever is needed to win the fight.
It’s been that way as long as Rahm has been playing, and everyone knew it.
Phil Mickelson predicted greatness before Rahm turned pro in 2016 and said he felt Rahm was among the top 10 players in the world before the Spaniard had ever won his first tournament. Bill Haas lost to Rahm in the semifinals of Match Play in 2017 and said later: “He’s hungry. He wants more. You can just see it in him. He’s got that thing about him that’s going to make him a big-time winner out here.”
Rahm went back to No. 1 in the world with his Masters victory — adding to his U.S. Open title he won at Torrey Pines two years ago — though even with seven wins worldwide in the last year, it remains a close race with Scottie Scheffler.
What gets so much attention with Rahm is everyone could see this coming, with or without a fortune cookie. Koepka won his first PGA Tour title at the Phoenix Open in 2015, the year Rahm tied for fifth while in his junior year in college.
It took him four starts on the PGA Tour to secure his card. He has won every year since his first full year as a pro, and he now has 20 wins around the world.
Not to be overlooked is a communications degree from Arizona State that he earned in four years after arriving on campus without being able to speak English.
“We put in a lot of effort to try to beat the best guys in the world. So maybe that level of intensity and that determination is what you see and that’s why I’m characterized as a fighter,” Rahm said. “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t try my hardest on every shot. So maybe that’s where that comes from.”
Rahm was as entertaining at the green jacket presentation as he was on the golf course, mixing in one fun tale about how this Masters started for him.
He has become friends with Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz, and Rahm was in a cart from the practice range to the putting green ahead of the first round when he saw that Ertz had sent him a text.
“I’m going to paraphrase here. It said, ‘That first green is looking like a walk in the park’ or something like that right now — 10 minutes before I four-putted to start the tournament,” Rahm said. “So, thank you, Zach. Don’t ever do that again, please.”
It wasn’t just the four-putt double bogey from 40 feet (Sam Snead in 1952 is the only other player to start with a double bogey and win the Masters).
Rahm opened with a 65 to tie Koepka, except the Spaniard played in the morning. When he returned to Augusta National on Friday afternoon, storms were on the way. The temperature dropped, eventually to the mid-40s. It was raining. The wind made it feel more miserable. The conditions were so deplorable that Rahm, who hit 8-iron to a back pin on Thursday, couldn’t reach the green with a 4-iron.
It was just as bad for the six holes he played with Koepka on Saturday, and it was still frigid when they resumed the third round on Sunday morning. Rahm kept it close. That fight was as much a part of winning as his 3-under 69 on Sunday.
So when someone suggested that he might have been on the bad side of the draw, Rahm smiled as he leaned toward the microphone and said, “Did you say I was perhaps on the bad side of the draw? PERHAPS?'”
He overcame everything thrown at him Sunday — the deficit that grew to as many as four shots on the 30-hole marathon finish, the wrong side of the weather, even all the Spanish coincidences mentioned to him — and just battled. He brawled. That’s his style, and while not always artistic, that’s why he’s become such a prolific winner.
He was surprised when someone pointed out he was the first European to win the Masters and the U.S. Open. And he was asked about the career Grand Slam.
“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” he said.
He is only halfway there, now needing a PGA Championship and a British Open. But he is good enough that it’s not preposterous, with or without a fortune cookie.

NEW YORK (AP) — MacDowell, one of the oldest artist residency programs in the U.S., has tapped Chiwoniso Kaitano as its new executive director, the organization announced Friday.
Kaitano joins MacDowell with a mandate to “intensify outreach to traditionally underrepresented artistic voices,” among other charges, a release said.
“Our search was rigorous, all our finalists compelling. But Chi’s expertise, energetic and collaborative methods of engagement, and inspiring leadership qualities proved irresistible,” author Nell Painter, the chair of MacDowell's board, said in the statement.
Kaitano is the former executive director of Girl Be Heard, a nongovernmental organization that uses theater and the performing arts to advocate for social change. Originally from Zimbabwe, she also serves on the boards of several arts organizations.
The prestigious MacDowell retreat is based in Peterborough, New Hampshire, where David Macy serves as resident director. Kaitano will work from the organization's New York office when she joins in mid-March. She will take over from transitional leader Philip Himberg.
In the wake of the 2020 protests spurred by the police killing of George Floyd, MacDowell shed “Colony” from its name in response to feedback from fellows and artistic communities.
“In the language we speak today, colony is a word tied to occupation and oppression,” Painter told The Associated Press at the time. A statement from the organization said the name change was “in keeping with the organization’s longstanding commitment to eliminate financial, geographic, cultural and accessibility barriers to participation.”
Friday's statement referenced the shift in announcing Kaitano's appointment.
“This change in MacDowell’s leadership follows an intense period of inquiry and innovation throughout the pandemic and recent social justice movements,” said board president Andrew M. Senchak. “During which time, MacDowell dropped ‘Colony’ from its name and the staff and board worked with external consultants to examine our values and our governance, to strengthen and democratize our policies, procedures, and program.”
The retreat was founded in 1907 by composer Edward MacDowell and the musician and philanthropist Marian MacDowell and has played host to more than 8,800 fellows across seven disciplines: writing, architecture, composition, film, theater, visual art, and interdisciplinary art.
“I look forward to working with the board and staff to sustain and grow funding and to build upon the extraordinary vision for artist support that Edward and Marian MacDowell articulated when they welcomed the first artists-in-residence,” Kaitano said in the statement. “Imagining and joyfully meeting the ever-evolving needs of contemporary artists is how MacDowell can and will continue to be a pioneering champion for the value of the arts in our society."

SEPTA unwisely pushes for suburban investment while improvement plans in the city languish | Editorial
The transit agency has balked at a subway extension along Roosevelt Boulevard but presses ahead with an expansion to King of Prussia. Does this prioritization really make sense?
At a public forum for the city’s mayoral candidates Tuesday, support for the Roosevelt Boulevard subway extension was strong. Each of the half-dozen major candidates in attendance, besides Jeff Brown, endorsed the concept, even going so far as to label it the one infrastructure project they pick over all others, a testament to the potentially transformative power it has for the city. The last time the extension was seriously studied, it was projected to host over 100,000 riders a day. That’s roughly how many people took all of SEPTA’s 13 Regional Rail lines combined during the pre-pandemic era.
Despite this, SEPTA and local planning officials have been reluctant to endorse the proposal, citing costs. According to SEPTA’s chief executive, Leslie Richards, the agency simply can’t afford to build it, as it would cost at least $3 billion. Curiously, however, SEPTA has not cried poor over a different transit expansion project, the King of Prussia rail line. The project has an estimated ridership of 10,000 people per day and an estimated cost of nearly $3 billion. Does this prioritization really make sense?
Sadly, it is par for the course when it comes to regional transit. While any urban planning student could tell you that public transportation is more effective in densely populated areas, SEPTA has repeatedly shown that it is willing to cut service in Philadelphia rather than improve it. Even in relatively recent times, the city has lost the iconic 23 and 56 trolley lines. According to SEPTA’s own ridership data, both of the replacement buses on these routes have higher ridership than even the rosiest projections for KOP rail.
Instead of investing in better service in Philadelphia, SEPTA’s admittedly limited capital dollars have often gone to projects in suburban areas. SEPTA recently completed a nearly $200 million project to extend Regional Rail to Wawa station in Delaware County. Yet local officials have rejected the proposed transit-oriented community that was supposed to help justify that expansion, and some residents are already complaining about the persistent sound of train horns blowing overnight.
» READ MORE: The Roosevelt Boulevard subway and the need for ambitious public transit leadership | Editorial
SEPTA officials have pushed back on these criticisms in the past, citing the agency’s roughly $900 million trolley modernization program as an example of investing in Philadelphia. Yet trolley modernization isn’t something new; it is a long overdue update to an existing service. Philadelphia will certainly benefit from new, accessible trolleys, but they should have been here years ago.
Sadly, deferred maintenance on city transit infrastructure is routine. While riders at suburban stations enjoy such premium amenities as heat lamps, city residents make do without. Neither of the city’s heavy rail systems is fully compliant with the 33-year-old Americans with Disabilities Act, either.
Far from making the El and Broad Street Line stations as comfortable as possible, SEPTA has allowed them to slip into a state of disrepair. Old City residents have complained that the Second Street station has become a somewhat permanent encampment for people experiencing homelessness. South Philadelphians have cited the Snyder Avenue station as increasingly hazardous. Yet while SEPTA cuts ribbons in the suburbs, insufficient action has been taken to resolve transit issues in the heart of the city.
This lack of balance isn’t just unfair to Philadelphians, it is also a foolish way to invest limited transit dollars. No matter how luxurious or extensive you make public transportation in the suburbs, these areas offer significantly less potential ridership than the city. Not only that, local opposition to public transit in the suburbs often causes less effective, more expensive routing.
The last time Philadelphia seriously considered building the Boulevard subway extension, it was dubbed an expensive “Cadillac project.” City officials were encouraged to settle for Bus Rapid Transit, a more affordable option. Does it really make sense to deliver luxury service to King of Prussia instead?

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — An Australian judge on Thursday ordered Samsung to pay 14 million Australian dollars ($9.8 million) in penalties for misleading advertising over how water-resistant some models of smartphones are.
Federal Court Justice Brendan Murphy gave Samsung Electronics Australia, a subsidiary of South Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co., 30 days to pay the fines.
Samsung must also pay AU$200,000 ($140,000) toward the costs of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the consumer watchdog that initiated an investigation of the phones four years ago.
Samsung admitted to making false and misleading claims in nine advertisements between 2016 and 2018 about the water resistance of seven models of Galaxy smartphones. They are the S7, S7 Edge, A5 (2017), A7 (2017), S8, S8 Plus and Note 8.
Samsung and the commission also agreed to the penalties imposed.
The misleading ads promoted the phones’ water resistance and suitability for use in swimming pools and seawater. But the charging ports could be damaged and stop working if the phones were recharged while the ports were still wet.
Samsung said the charging port issue only effected the seven models identified in the case that were launched between 2016 and 2017.
“The issue does not arise for Samsung’s current phones,” a Samsung statement said.
Samsung sold 3.1 million of the vulnerable phones in Australia, but the court could not determine how many customers found faults in their charging ports.
An unknown number of customers had their ports replaced by authorized Samsung repairers. Some repairers did the job for free while others charged between AU$180 ($126) and AU$245 ($171), the court heard.
Murphy said customers were entitled to assume that a large company such as Samsung would not advertise that its Galaxy phones could safely be submerged in water if they could not.
“A great many consumers are likely to have seen the offending advertisements and a significant number of those who did so are likely to have purchased one of the Galaxy phones,” Murphy said in his judgment.
Commission Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said her investigation had received hundreds of complaints from phone owners.
“They experienced issues with their Galaxy phones after it was exposed to water and, in may cases, they reported their Galaxy phones stopped working entirely,” Cass-Gottlieb said in a statement.
The judge said the penalty exceeded Samsung’s profit during the course of the misleading advertising campaign.
Samsung’s lawyers had initially denied the ads were misleading and that the phones could be damaged by immersion in water, the judge said.
“I do not consider Samsung Australia should be given much credit for its cooperation,” Murphy said.
Samsung said it had cooperated with the commission's investigations, which originally included more than 600 ads and 15 Galaxy phone models.
“Samsung endeavours to deliver the best possible experience to all our customers and we regret that a small number of our Galaxy users experienced an issue with their device pertaining to this matter,” Samsung said.

Migrants sue Florida governor over Martha’s Vineyard flights
BOSTON (AP) — Venezuelan migrants flown to the upscale Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his transportation secretary Tuesday for engaging in a “fraudulent and discriminatory scheme” to relocate them.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, alleges that the migrants were told they were going to Boston or Washington, “which was completely false,” and were induced with perks such as $10 McDonald’s gift certificates.
“No human being should be used as a political pawn,” said Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, which is seeking class-action status in the lawsuit filed on behalf of several migrants who were aboard last week’s flights and Alianza Americas, a network of advocacy groups.
DeSantis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit, which also names Secretary of Transportation Jared W. Perdue as a defendant.
The lawsuit alleges that migrants were induced to cross state lines under false pretenses, a line that some Democratic officials are using to urge a federal investigation.
On Monday, Javier Salazar, the sheriff of Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, opened an investigation into the flights, but the elected Democrat did not say what laws may have been broken. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, whose district includes San Antonio, have asked the Justice Department to begin a probe.
Guesswork was rampant among government officials, advocates and journalists Tuesday about DeSantis’ next move, consistent with the element of surprise that he and another Republican governor, Greg Abbott of Texas, have sought to achieve by busing and flying migrants across the country to Democratic strongholds with little or no notice.
Asked Tuesday about speculation that DeSantis may send migrants to his home state of Delaware, President Joe Biden said: “He should come visit. We have a beautiful shoreline.”
DeSantis declined to confirm speculation, based on flight-tracking software, that more migrants were on the move. He again defended his decision to fly about 50 Venezuelans to Martha’s Vineyard, saying their decisions were completely voluntary and, without evidence, that they were in awful condition when Florida got involved.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Warning that inflation threatens to become “a runaway train,’’ the managing director of the International Monetary Fund urged policymakers to keep up the fight against rising prices even it means more pain at a time of extraordinary economic turmoil.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, the IMF’s Kristaline Georgieva said that the world economy “has been hit by one shock after another″ — the coronavirus pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a resurgence of inflation.
But reining in rising prices should take priority, she said. “If we do not restore price stability, we will undermine prospects for growth,” she said, adding: “We cannot possibly allow inflation to become a runaway train — bad for growth, bad for people, bad especially for poor people.″
The Federal Reserve and other central banks have been raising interest rates to tame inflation. on Thursday, the U.S. reported that inflations accelerated in September, with the cost of housing and other necessities intensifying pressure on Americans. Consumer prices rose 8.2% compared with September of last year.
Georgieva acknowledged that the higher borrowing costs would pinch economic growth, but she urged policymakers to show restraint in spending money to ease the pain.
“When monetary policy puts a foot on the brakes,″ she said, “fiscal policy should not step on the accelerator.″
Governments, many of them already heavily indebted after battling the pandemic, should focus on helping the most vulnerable at a time of food shortages and punishingly high energy costs, not on broader spending programs. “Policy measures need to be well targeted, and they need to be temporary,” she said.
Georgieva’s call for inflation vigilance comes at a time when some economists worry that central banks will overdo interest rate hikes and cause unnecessary economic pain.
Georgieva also warned that the “fragmentation” of the world economy into competing political blocs could cause inflation to linger. If geopolitical tensions cause companies to move their supply chains — out of China, for instance — production could become less efficient and more expensive. And central bank rate hikes couldn’t do much about it.
“If we lose the benefits of a more-integrated global economy, we all would be poorer,″ she said.
Georgieva made the comments as the world’s financial leaders gather in Washington for the fall meetings of the IMF and World Bank.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s top security agency notified a top Orthodox priest Saturday that he was suspected of justifying Russia’s aggression, a criminal offense, amid a bitter dispute over a famed Orthodox monastery.
Metropolitan Pavel, the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, Ukraine’s most revered Orthodox site, has strongly resisted the authorities’ order to vacate the complex. Earlier in the week, he cursed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, threatening him with damnation.
During a court hearing in the Ukrainian capital, the metropolitan strongly rejected the claim by the Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, that he condoned Russia’s invasion. Pavel described the accusations against him as politically driven.
SBU agents raided his residence and prosecutors asked the court to put him under house arrest pending the investigation. The hearing was adjourned until Monday after the metropolitan said he wasn’t feeling well.
The monks in the monastery belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has been accused of having links to Russia. The dispute surrounding the property, also known as Monastery of the Caves, is part of a wider religious conflict that has unfolded in parallel with the war.
The Ukrainian government has cracked down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church over its historic ties to the Russian Orthodox Church, whose leader, Patriarch Kirill, has supported Russian President Vladimir Putin in the invasion of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has insisted that it’s loyal to Ukraine and has denounced the Russian invasion from the start. The church declared its independence from Moscow.
But Ukrainian security agencies have claimed that some in the UOC have maintained close ties with Moscow. They’ve raided numerous holy sites of the church and later posted photos of rubles, Russian passports and leaflets with messages from the Moscow patriarch as proof that some church officials have been loyal to Russia.
The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery is owned by the Ukrainian government, and the agency overseeing it notified the monks that it was terminating the lease and they had until Wednesday to leave the site.
Metropolitan Pavel told worshipers Wednesday that the monks would not leave pending the outcome of a lawsuit the UOC filed in a Kyiv court to stop the eviction.
The government claims that the monks violated their lease by making alterations to the historic site and other technical infractions. The monks rejected the claim as a pretext.
Many Orthodox communities in Ukraine have cut their ties with the UOC and transitioned to the rival Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which more than four years ago received recognition from the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Bartholomew I is considered the first among equals among the leaders of the Eastern Orthodox churches. Patriarch Kirill and most other Orthodox patriarchs have refused to accept his decision authorizing the second Ukrainian church.
Also on Saturday, Zelenskyy said he spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron to brief him on the battlefield situation and to discuss defense cooperation.
While Ukraine is preparing for a counteroffensive expected later this spring, Russian forces have kept pressing their effort to capture the city of Bakhmut. The Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Donbas region has been the focus of a ferocious battle that has dragged on for eight months in eastern Ukraine.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said during a Saturday visit to the military headquarters overseeing the action in Ukraine that Russia’s defense industries have boosted production of ammunition “by several times.” Russian’s government previously acknowledged ammunition shortages,
The U.K. Defense Ministry said in its latest analysis Saturday that the Russian offensive personally overseen by Gen. Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the General Staff of the Russian military, has fizzled. Russian President Vladimir Putin put Gerasimov in charge of overseeing what Moscow refers to as its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“Gerasimov’s tenure has been characterized by an effort to launch a general winter offensive with the aim of extending Russian control over the whole of the Donbas region,” the British ministry said on Twitter. “Eighty days on, it is increasingly apparent that this project has failed.”
As evidence, the ministry said that “on several axes across the Donbas front, Russian forces have made only marginal gains at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties.”
With the losses, the Russian military was “largely squandering its temporary advantage in personnel” from a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists Putin ordered in the fall, according to the U.K. analysis.
It noted that Gerasimov, who has been in his job for 10 years, “is pushing the limits of how far Russia’s political leadership will tolerate failure.”
The U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office, meanwhile, mocked a new edition of Moscow’s foreign policy doctrine published Friday that described the Russian policy as “peaceful, open, predictable, consistent, pragmatic and based on respect for universally recognized principles and norms of international law.”
“April Fool’s Day is TOMORROW,” the Foreign Office tweeted late Friday. ___

September's harvest moon: What to know
The full moon is also called the fruit or barley moon
The next full moon is the harvest moon.
Stargazers can see it, appearing opposite the sun in Earth-based longitude, at 5:59 a.m. ET on Saturday morning.
This will be on Friday evening from Hawaii's time zone and westward to the International Date Line.
NASA said the moon would appear full for about three days from Thursday evening through Sunday morning.
ARTEMIS MOON LAUNCH: AMERICANS WEIGH IN ON WHETHER NASA PROGRAM IS WORTH $93B COST\
The full moon is also called the barley moon, the corn moon, the mid-autumn and mooncake.
The barley moon comes from the harvesting and threshing of barley. The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.
Another European name is the fruit moon, as a number of fruits ripen at the end of the summer.
STUNNING IMAGES CAPTURE STURGEON SUPERMOON
According to the Maine Farmer's Almanac, the Algonquin tribes in what is now the northeastern U.S. called this the corn moon, as this was the time for gathering their crops of corn, pumpkins, squash, beans and wild rice.
Newer names for the full moon – the GRAIL moon and the LADEE moon – are based on two lunar robotic missions launched in September.

While, on average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each night, the time is shorter around the harvest moon.
During the fall harvest season, farmers sometimes need to work late into the night by moonlight.
This moon corresponds with the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chuseok, the first of the two Japanese Tsukimi festivals, the Honey Full Moon Festival and the start of Pitru Paksha.

(The Hill) – Economists and lawmakers are warning that high inflation is providing companies with an excuse to telegraph price increases during earnings calls, reducing market competition and compounding the pain for consumers.
“They’re profiteering, and they are using this moment and their monopoly power in many industries to raise prices on consumers,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said in an interview, ahead of dozens of companies reporting second-quarter earnings this week.
The Department of Labor reported last week that consumer inflation is now at 9.1 percent annually — the highest level in 40 years. Food prices are up more than 10 percent, energy prices are up more than 40 percent and “core inflation” — everything besides food and energy — is up almost 6 percent.
The worldwide trend of high inflation, which has led to unrest and labor protests in numerous countries, is caused by larger disruptions in the global economy resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
However, it is being exacerbated by companies in concentrated sectors essentially acting in cahoots to further price increases, economists argue.
“A bout of inflation creates an opportunity that didn’t previously exist for firms in concentrated industries to coordinate better their pricing decisions,” Hal Singer, managing director of Econ One Research and an adjunct professor at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business, said in an interview.
“No price-fixing conspiracy in the modern world involves a written agreement where they sit down in a smoke-filled room and they say, ‘OK, we all go up by 10 percent.’ That’s not how it works. They’re not that dumb. What they’re doing is trying to coordinate in a way that defies scrutiny from the antitrust laws.”
Singer said one common coordinating tactic is earning calls.
“At the end of 2021 — I was livid — you’d hear these executives saying, ‘We plan on raising our prices by 17.24 percent next quarter.’ I thought to myself, I can’t believe the agencies are letting them get away with this. This is clearly an invitation to collude. If I’m a firm in a three-firm industry, and I commit via the airwaves to telling everyone I’m going up by 17.24 percent, that is a signal to my rivals that if they go up by anything less, they will not lose market share.”
During fast food chain Chipotle’s first-quarter earnings call, finance chief Jack Hartung said that his customers had shown “very little resistance” to price increases.
“Our transactions actually are up, even though we had pricing that was in that about 10 percent range,” Hartung told investors in April, according to market research firm Seeking Alpha. “The price increase is sticking just as expected. We don’t see any resistance.”
Industrial conglomerate 3M’s finance chief, Monish Patolawala, said on the company’s fourth-quarter 2021 earnings call in January that his “team has done a marvelous job in driving price. Price has gone up from 0.1 percent to 1.4 percent to 2.6 percent,” characterizing the trend as a “tailwind” to investors.
This sort of language about where prices are heading in the future comes close to the kind of price signaling identified as a no-no by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
According to the Justice Department and FTC’s guidelines for “collaborations” among competitors, “the potential for future competition between participants in a collaboration requires antitrust scrutiny.”
“Other things being equal, the sharing of information relating to price, output, costs, or strategic planning is more likely to raise competitive concern than the sharing of information relating to less competitively sensitive variables,” the agencies’ joint guidance says.
Yet it’s not easy for lawyers and regulators to go after disclosures made on public earnings calls, Georgetown’s Singer said.
“The problem is that it’s very difficult for a private plaintiff or an AG [attorney general] to go after a firm that has been careful enough to only attempt to collude via public announcements in the airwaves,” he said.
One court case that helped to establish that norm involved airlines Delta and AirTran, who were accused in a class-action lawsuit of violating the antitrust Sherman Act by using earnings calls to coordinate their pricing, making sure that neither company lost market share by undercutting the other.
According to a write-up on the case from the American Bar Association, the court “rejected the plaintiff’s contention that statements made by an AirTran executive during an earnings call constituted an ‘invitation to collude,’ ” deciding instead that corporate communications to shareholders usually can’t be considered as an opportunity for collusion.
Despite the ruling, the power and profitability of big companies during a period of high inflation is drawing the anger of many Democratic lawmakers.
“Look at Big Oil,” Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), chairman of the House Transportation Committee and a co-founder of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said in an interview. “On their earnings calls, they talked about their excess profits — excess profits — so they’re going to buy back $22 billion worth of stock that enriches the executives, enriches the stockholders. And people at the pump are paying.”
“You can start breaking up these monopolies, duopolies, cartels, whatever you want to call them. The last I heard, the Biden administration was trying to revive the antitrust division, but I haven’t heard much out of them. I don’t know what they’re up to,” he added.
While new antitrust laws pertaining to the tech sector have been introduced in the Senate, broader legislative efforts on the issue are few and far between. As a more immediate goal, Democrats are looking to tax windfall profits to recoup some of the excess profits, but these initiatives are hitting legislative snags, as well.
“I have a bill to have a windfall profits tax on the oil companies that’s very reasonably written,” DeFazio said. “They’d still be profitable, they’d still be making money. It would send a rebate check of $160 to every American over the age of 18. Unfortunately, my leadership has not seen fit to take it up.”
Republicans are generally less concerned about high profits for companies during high inflation, though some have joined Democrats in calling out the profit bonanza in the tightly concentrated meat packing and shipping industries, which has hurt some businesses in GOP constituencies.
And there’s growing consensus among academic economists that the market power of companies is getting bigger, allowing them to take more money from consumers.
Markups — the difference between the price of a good and what it costs to make — have risen from about 21 percent in 1980 to 61 percent today, according to an influential paper written by Jan de Loecker, Jan Eeckhout and Gabriel Unger.
The authors also found that the average profit rate has increased from 1 percent to 8 percent over the same period, showing that the economic power of companies over their customers is growing.
“What people don’t understand is the power of deterrence,” Singer said of potential collusion through earnings calls. “If the first CEO was hit with a lawsuit, like the announcement of an investigation, by the FTC, it would immediately chill and temper the enthusiasm of other CEOs to copy her. This should have been done a year ago.”

4 Ways to Get Them Out
ERIE, Pa., April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- They may be small, but mice and other small rodents can create big problems for you and your vehicle. A single mouse can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your car in a matter of days. And the diseases they carry can be harmful to your health, too.
If you suspect a mouse has made your car its new home, the best course of action is to get it out — fast. Erie Insurance gives you five ways to tell if there are mice in your vehicle:
- Car problems: Unfortunately, some drivers first discover a rodent problem when their car won't start or isn't working properly. This is often caused by mice chewing through wires in the engine compartment. With so many complex electrical systems in modern cars, chewed-up wires are almost guaranteed to cause problems.
- Damaged upholstery: If a mouse has decided to make itself a new home in your car, it will start by looking for materials to build a nest. If you find holes in your seats, missing chunks of insulation or chewed-up foam, you might have a mouse problem.
- Mouse droppings: Like any pest infestation, finding animal waste is a pretty good indicator that you have a problem. Look for tiny mouse droppings on your car's carpeting, seat and dashboard.
- Bad smells: If you detect foul odors coming from your car, it may be due to a pest problem. Often, drivers will first detect these smells coming from the vehicle's air vents. Mice can use the vent system as a tunnel to get from the engine bay to your car's interior. And vents often provide easy access to insulation and filter materials they can use to build a nest.
- Mouse nest: Finding a mouse nest is the easiest way to confirm your rodent suspicions. The first place you should look is inside your car's airbox (that's where the engine air filter is located). Mice love this location because it's warm and protected from the elements. Open the box and look for signs of rodent freeloaders. The area should be empty and relatively clean, so it will be evident if there's a nest inside. You should also check under your car's plastic engine cover if it has one.
Even if you leave your doors closed and your windows rolled up, there are plenty of ways for a mouse to get into your car. Once you've made the unfortunate discovery, here are four ways to get them out.
- Turn up the heat. Just like humans, mice don't like extreme temperatures. Roll up your car's windows and park in the sun on a nice day. Or blast the heat in the car for a few minutes. All that heat may convince the mouse to move out.
- Honk the horn. Loud noises, like honking your horn, may scare a mouse of its new home in your car.
- Use repellent. Most home improvement stores will sell several types of mouse repellents you can place in and around your car. Many people have also had success using cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil.
- Set mousetraps. Mousetraps aren't only useful for keeping mice out of your house. Setting traps in or under your vehicle can also help protect your vehicle from unwanted visitors.
At Erie Insurance, animal-related damage to your car is covered by the optional comprehensive coverage in your auto insurance policy. That includes damage to your car from mice or rats. You'll just be responsible for paying your deductible. Check out this video for more information on rats in your hood and how to prevent them.
If you have questions about your specific policy, talk to your local ERIE agent to understand what your policy can cover (and where you might have gaps).

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. had 14 points and nine rebounds each before sitting out the fourth quarter Sunday night in the Orlando Magic's 128-102 rout of the Detroit Pistons.
Killian Hayes scored 20 points and Eugene Omoruyi added 19 for the Pistons, who lost for the 20th time in 21 games. They need a win in their remaining four games to avoid matching the franchise's worst record ever.
“Obviously losing 20 of 21 games, mentally, can be tough, but we’ve still got four games left,” said Hayes. “Tonight was a bad presentation of the Pistons, losing by 30. The Magic are not 30 points better than us.”
“This was the first time in a long time I didn’t feel like the guys were locked in,” said Pistons coach Dwane Casey. “The focus was not there. For whatever reason the execution, the sharpness was not there.”
Jalen Suggs led eight Orlando players in double figures with 18 points, and Cole Anthony added 17 points and six rebounds for the Magic, who shot 57.3% and made 17 of 33 3-point shots. It was the fifth win in six games for the Magic, who are trying to finish the season on a high note despite not making the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years.
“We feel the energy, we feel the buzz,” said Suggs, who made four of six 3-pointers. “Just around town, everyone is saying how excited they are, how they love what we’re doing. Things like that are refreshing.”
“We have a lot of weapons on this team," said Anthony. “When we get out there and just play selflessly, it's fun.”
Franz Wagner finished with 16 points and eight assists and a plus-minus of plus-33 for Orlando.
Anthony and Suggs scored five points each on a 23-4 spurt that opened the second quarter and gave the Magic a 24-point lead. The Pistons, who had eight turnovers in the quarter, never threatened again and fell behind by as many as 30 points in the fourth quarter.
“They hit us a little early just with the physicality. We felt that,” said Magic coach Jamahl Mosley. “And then it registered that we have to come out and play our game of basketball, which is what we did tonight.”
TIP-INS
Pistons: Detroit's worst record ever (16-66) was posted in 1978-80. ... With 14 points, Jaden Ivey became the first rookie in franchise history to score in double figures in 65 games. ... The Pistons' only lead of the game was 4-3. ... Two of Detroit's 16 wins have come against the Magic.
Magic: C Goga Bitadze picked up a technical foul to go with his sixth personal with 6:50 remaining. ... Anthony had his 11th straight double-figure scoring game and 11th straight game of a five or more rebounds. ... The Magic are 29-24 since their 5-20 start.
BANCHERO GETS CASEY’S VOTE
The game featured the NBA’s leading rookies in scoring (Banchero), rebounding (Jalen Duren) and assists (Ivey). But Casey didn’t put much stock in a question about the Rookie of the Year competition.
“I think Jaden is one of the top rookies in our league, but I think Paolo has separated himself because he’s been consistent from Day One,” Casey said. “I will put our rookies right there behind him in the rookie race, but Paolo is a few years ahead of himself.”

Pistons: Host Miami on Tuesday night.
Magic: Host Cleveland on Tuesday night. ___

The Louisiana House approved Thursday Senate-passed legislation that would give prosecutors the ability to go after online and mail-order distributors of abortion pills.
Senate Bill 388 would clarify criminal penalties for distribution of abortion pills.
With the expected U.S. Supreme Court decision that would lead to an end of most surgical abortions in Louisiana, more women will turn to the two-pill procedure that terminates pregnancies.
The legislation is needed to address that loophole, said Rep. Laurie Schlegel, the Metairie Republican handling the measure on the House floor for state Sen. Sharon Hewitt, R-Slidell. “The purpose is to stop online, do it yourself abortions,” Schlegel said.
The House approved on a vote of 72-24 while waiting for some changes to a sweeping bill that would immediately close all abortion clinics, criminalize most pregnancy termination actions, and criminally punish physicians and others who perform the procedures should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v Wade – as is expected. That measure, Senate Bill 342, is expected to be heard later Thursday.
The measure returns to the Senate for the upper chamber's decision on changes made to bill by the House.
Louisiana is one of 13 states with trigger laws that go into effect if states are given authority to decide should the high court’s Roe decision return the power to allow abortions or not.
The two pills that can terminate pregnancies are mifepristone, which causes an embryo to detach from the uterine wall, and is followed a day or two later with misoprostol that pushes the embryo out of the uterus.
Current law requires a prescription and that the pills are taken under a physician’s supervision. But the pills are easy to find and obtain online. They can be mailed to the homes of anyone who buys them.
“There is no way to really enforce this,” said Rep. Aimee Adatto Freeman, D-New Orleans.
“How can the state of Louisiana regulate interstate commerce?” said Rep. Mandie Landry, referring to trade over state lines, the oversight of which the U.S. Constitution reserves for the federal government.
“I don’t know how they can stop it unless they’re waiting at the post office,” Landry added.
Schlegel said the sponsor of the measure had checked with prosecutors and was assured that SB388 wasn’t unconstitutional.
The proposal expands the definition for the crime of criminal abortion to include the delivering, dispensing, distributing, or providing a pregnant woman with an abortion-inducing drug when physician is not part of the process.
The distributors and vendors would face a prison term of not less than five nor more than 10 years, fined not less than $10,000 nor more than $75,000, or both. If the woman seeking an abortion is under the age of 18, the criminal penalty increases to imprisonment at hard labor for not less than 15 years nor more than 50 years, fined not less than $15,000 nor more than $100,000, or both.
The two drugs were approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration 20 years ago and can be taken without in-person participation of a doctor.
Voting for penalties for distribution of abortion pills (72): Speaker Schexnayder, Reps Adams, Amedee, Bacala, Bagley, Beaullieu, Bishop, Bourriaque, Brown, Butler, Carrier, R. Carter, Cormier, Coussan, Crews, Davis, Deshotel, DeVillier, DuBuisson, Echols, Edmonds, Edmonston, Emerson, Farnum, Firment, Fontenot, Freiberg, Frieman, Gadberry, Garofalo, Geymann, Goudeau, Harris, Hilferty, Hodges, Horton, Huval, Illg, Ivey, M.

Owen, Pressly, Romero, Schamerhorn, Schlegel, Seabaugh, St. Blanc, Stagni, Stefanski, Tarver, Thomas, Thompson, Turner, Villio, Wheat, White, Wright and Zeringue.
Voting against SB388 (24): Reps Boyd, Brass, Bryant, Carpenter, W. Carter, Duplessis, Freeman, Gaines, Glover, Green, Hughes, Jefferson, Jenkins, Jordan, LaFleur, Landry, Larvadain, Lyons, Marino, Newell, Phelps, Pierre, Selders and Willard.

BRYAN, Texas — It's World Giraffe Day and the Aggieland Safari is giving people an up-close encounter with this large animal. It's also important that all animals stay safe and beat the heat with these rising temperatures.
"It is giraffe day after all," one zookeeper told guests.
Zachary Perez is the Head of Education and said his main priority is keeping the animals safe.
"Some of the animals have their own adaptations. The kangaroos are all about staying cool in the Texas heat, whether they're licking their arms to regulate their temperature or digging a little in the sand before they lay down — that way they get the cooler sand, and also hyper ventilating is another form of cooling adaptation or heat adaptation," Perez said.
Perez said some animals use things like tree shadows and small bodies of water, while others need special accommodations.
"We give him a cooling mat, he has misters in there, he also has a fan — so different things to combat the heat out here," Perez said.
One community member says he and his wife enjoy being around animals. He said the heat didn't stop safari residents from coming to their car.
"My wife noticed it was kind of like a special day, so we kind of held off to come on this specific," Cantes said.
He said it's been a one-of-a-kind experience with wildlife.
"I enjoy watching her interact with the animals. They get out of their little comfort zones, they get close to the animals, and they notice the world isn't all as bad as it seems to be sometimes," Cantes said.

Stocks fell broadly on Wall Street and Treasury yields rose Thursday afternoon after another hot reading on the job market raised worries that the Federal Reserve will need to continue inflicting pain on the economy in order to fight inflation.
The S&P 500 fell 0.8% as of 2:10 p.m. Eastern. The benchmark index is on pace for its fifth straight weekly loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 268 points, or 0.8%, to 33,000 and the Nasdaq fell 1%. The major indexes are on pace for a weekly loss.
Technology, health care and industrial stocks weighed most on the market. Microsoft fell 2.3%, UnitedHealth Group slid 2.2% and Honeywell International was off 2.4%.
Energy stocks bucked the broader market slide as the price of U.S. crude oil rose 2.5%. Exxon Mobil added 2.8%.
The pullback came after payroll company ADP reported a bigger-than-expected increase in jobs at private companies last month. The U.S. government also reported that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level in more than three months last week.
The strong jobs market reports follow a government report on Wednesday showing a higher than expected number of job openings in November.
The continued strength in the job market makes the Fed’s job of reining in inflation more difficult by putting upward pressure on wages. The central bank remains determined to keep interest rates high in order to slow economic growth and tame inflation. The strategy, though, risks going too far bringing on a recession.
The yield on the two-year Treasury, which tends to track expectations for future Fed actions, was steady throughout most of the early morning, but rose significantly following the latest jobs reports. It jumped to 4.42% from 4.36% late Wednesday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, rose to 3.71% from 3.69% late Wednesday. The nation’s housing market has slowed sharply over the past year as the average rate on the benchmark 30-year mortgage more than doubled.
The Fed’s benchmark lending rate stands at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, up from close to zero following seven increases last year. It has forecast that the rate will reach a range of 5% to 5.25% by the end of 2023 and it isn’t calling for a rate cut before 2024.
Inflation has been easing from a peak of 9.1% in June to 7.1% in November and investors have been hoping for signs that could prompt the Fed to ease up on applying the brakes to the economy with high interest rates. Those hopes have been dashed so far.
The government will release its closely watched monthly employment report, for December, on Friday.
Wall Street is also preparing for the latest round of corporate earnings to get a better a sense of how companies are handling hot inflation and weakening consumer demand. Companies in the S&P 500 will pick up the pace of reporting in a few weeks, but some results are already trickling in.
French fry maker Lamb Weston rose 9.9% and Hunt’s ketchup maker Conagra rose 2.8% after reporting strong results for their most recent quarters. Constellation Brands, which markets Corona beer and Robert Mondavi wine, fell 8.7% after trimming its profit forecast for the year.
Bed Bath & Beyond slumped 24.3% after the already struggling home goods retailer warned investors that it may need to file for bankruptcy as sales continue to drop and it struggles to attract shoppers.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — A former St. Lucie County deputy was sentenced Monday to seven years behind bars for his actions while on duty.
"You used your position to control and manipulate vulnerable people," one of Evan Cramer's victims said in court Monday.
It was an emotional Monday in a St. Lucie County courtroom. Women who claimed they were victimized by Cramer came face-to-face with the former St. Lucie County deputy.
"The same criminals that you incarcerated, you are worse than they could ever be," a victim said.
Another woman said Cramer took so much from her that she’s always worried about what will happen next.
"I very rarely go outside. I find it hard to concentrate and my attention span is non existent," the woman said.
"No man is above the law, and no man is above it," Sheriff Ken Mascara said in 2017 when Cramer was arrested, accused of negotiating sex while on duty in exchange for not taking women to jail.
"You are a disgrace to the community and a disgrace to the badge," a victim said in court Monday.
While in jail, Cramer got into a fight with another inmate, who also testified.
"He was given everything and what did he do with it? He took from others," a victim said.
Cramer reached a plea deal last month that spared him a potential life sentence as prosecutors dropped the most serious sexual battery charges, a decision his victims were not entirely happy with .
"I believe you deserve more punishment than what you are getting, but your day of judgment will come when you stand before God," a victim said.
Cramer pleaded no contest to two counts of a public servant soliciting or accepting unlawful compensation, a lesser included offense, along with two counts of aggravated battery.
Cramer made no statement Monday as he was handcuffed and brought over to be fingerprinted. With credit for time served, he could be out of prison in just a few years.
As part of the plea deal, Cramer relinquished his law enforcement certificate.

The Midland High football team is back on the gridiron to prepare for its 2022 season.
The Bulldogs finally started practice Monday at Memorial Stadium after having to wait a week later than crosstown Legacy because they fielded a spring football session in April and May.
The smell of newly installed artificial turf at Memorial Stadium permeated MHS’ first practice.
The Bulldogs practiced in 95-degree conditions with partly cloudy skies and a strong breeze, much more bearable than the 100-degree temperatures that were commonplace in the area last week.
The Bulldogs, who finished 2-8 overall and 1-5 in District 2-6A last year, are in their second year under head coach Thad Fortune.
“It went good,” Fortune said. “It was good and spirited. The kids worked hard. We took a little break last week, but I wanted to see us pick up where we left off with our summer drills and where we left off from spring ball. They knew what to do and they were playing fast. We took a look at some of our younger kids, too. Kind of grow everything from the bottom up, so the kids worked hard, had good spirit and it was a great first day of camp.”
Fortune said the running backs Mecky McCoy, Brylee Perez and Elijah Perez and slot backs Jakee Urias and Kyle Blanchard stood out on the first day.
He also praised the performance of quarterbacks Jake Cunningham, Stroman Bridges, Grant Muniz and Wyatt Holmstrom.
“A lot of quarterbacks got reps and did well,” Fortune said. “And defensively they were flying around. There was a lot of spirit and they were doing their job on the defensive side of the ball, so it was really good to see and I was pleased with it.”

Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Steven Spielberg was a fearful kid who found solace in storytelling: Spielberg's latest project, The Fabelmans, is semi-autobiographical — focused on his childhood and teen years and his parents' divorce. He jokingly refers to the film as "$40 million of therapy."
Small in scope, Claire Keegan's 'Foster' packs an emotional wallop: Keegan is a writer who revels in the suspense of the unspoken, the held breath. Her new novella centers on a nameless young girl whose parents leave her in the care of relatives for the summer.
'Half American' explores how Black WWII servicemen were treated better abroad: Though more than one million Black Americans contributed to the war effort, historian Matthew Delmont says a military uniform offered no protection from racism.

Bringing a National Hockey League team back to Hartford might not economically benefit residents, according to a New England sports economist.
Andrew Zimbalist, a professor of economics at Smith College who specializes in sports economics, said Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont’s bid to relocate the Arizona Coyotes to Hartford might also be a long shot.
Lamont’s comments last Friday came in the wake of the Coyotes’ President and CEO Xavier Guitierrez’s comment that he was “disappointed” in voters’ rejection of a $2 billion proposal for a new arena and entertainment district in Tempe, Ariz. However, neither the team nor the NHL has commented that the team plans to relocate.
“This is a great hockey state and a great hockey town,” Lamont told CT Insider. “It’s evidenced by the passion we have for the Whalers going back years — still one of the best-selling jerseys.”
Lamont was referencing the Hartford Whalers, which relocated to North Carolina in 1997.
“I think we can guarantee them a very strong market right here, and a government that’s ready to come and be their partner,” Lamont said.
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin also tweeted his support for the idea.
Still, bringing the team to Hartford would be an uphill battle. The Capitol Region Development Authority estimated that repairs for the arena would cost upwards of $100 million.
Zimbalist said Hartford likely wouldn’t be an ideal site for a new sports team.
“Why did the Whalers move in the past?” Zimbalist said. “It was not a good arena, and not a very large population, or a very rich business community. And those issues haven’t been resolved.”
Zimbalist also pointed out that aside from arena renovations, the move could cost tens of millions of dollars in additional expenses, including relocation fees, lost property tax revenue, and additional police hours.
While sports teams are often touted as economic boons for the cities that host them, Zimbalist said the reality is less optimistic.
“The general conclusions that economists who study this come to, is that having a sports team in your city is not fiscally or economically beneficial,” Zimbalist said.
Proponents of bringing sports teams to cities often argue that they create jobs, generate revenue. But Zimbalist says that sports teams really just reallocate money to sports executives, who also typically live out-of-state.
“Most people have [an entertainment budget] that might include going out to dinner, it might include bowling alleys, it might include theaters, it might include concerts,” Zimbalist said. “And so, if a hockey team comes along, that means they’ll be spending whatever it might be — $100 or $200 — on the hockey games, [and] not on restaurants [or other forms of entertainment].”
Zimbalist said the main benefit of a sports team is its cultural benefit.
“If they're decent teams, then I think it can have — in my own views — it could have a positive cultural and social impact,” Zimbalist said. “And then you have to decide if the amount of money that we're investing in bringing the team here is a reasonable amount, given the amount of social and cultural benefit we hope to help to get.”
The Arizona Coyotes’ current contract will keep them in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area through the 2024 season.

AAA predicted record-breaking travels on Thanksgiving this year
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - While millions of people travel to see their loved ones, it’s predicted to be the busiest time to travel in nearly two decades. AAA reported that 54.6 million people will travel more than 50 miles for the holiday whether by car, plane, or other forms of transportation.
While many airports are flooded with travelers, it’s quiet at Gainesville regional airport.
Neel Parekh said he’s lived in Gainesville for four months and can’t wait to see his family.
“I’m from India and I study at UF, I’m doing computer studies and I am going to D.C. to visit, I have family over there basically, “ said Parekh. My uncle, my aunt, a bunch of my cousins, and I are going to be there and some other family members are flying to come and see me as well, so I’m excited about that.”
While some fear canceled or delayed flights, many Gainesville travelers like Kathy Samples are grateful for the lack of travelers coming from Gainesville regional airport.
“I knew it would be calmer than Orlando and I was very glad that I selected flying out of here instead of down there,” said Samples. “This is my first flight out of Gainesville but it’s lovely, it’s just a lovely airport.”
Thanksgiving holiday travels in Florida are said to exceed pre-pandemic travels.

Southeast Michigan is no stranger to afternoon rain. Thunderstorms brought downpours and small hail on Tuesday, and we can expect something like that this afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center, and agency that specializes in anticipating severe weather, has issued a marginal risk of severe weather for southeast Michigan, effective until 7a.m. on Friday.
This is a level 1 out of 5 in terms of severe weather, with the primary threats being winds over 60 mph, as well as hailstones as wide as an inch.
Timing this out, we can see a cluster of storms drift through the Thumb by today at 2 p.m., with a second round materializing by 6 p.m.
Storms near the Lansing area will tap into some energy in the atmosphere, which will drive our wind/hail threat through the Flint/Detroit area.
These storms will cluster up by 8 p.m., and will be out of the area by 9 p.m.
Showers on the backside of things will accompany us overnight.
This afternoon will be the perfect opportunity to practice any and all severe weather precautions. Stay indoors during any thunderstorm, secure outdoor objects from high winds, and make sure you have a way to receive weather warnings tonight.
Weather radios are an easy way to receive weather warnings, especially at night. You can view more information on where to purchase a weather radios here.

For more than a century, the Catholic Church financed its expansion and its institutions with profits made from the purchase and sale of people they enslaved. This chapter of Church history has only recently come to the attention of the public.
"Without the enslaved, the Catholic Church in the United States as we know it today would not exist," writes author Rachel Swarns. She says the priests prayed for the salvation of the souls of the people they owned, even as they bought and sold their bodies.
In 1838, the Jesuits sold 272 enslaved people, which helped save what is now Georgetown University from bankruptcy and helped stabilize the Jesuits in Maryland. Swarns wrote about this sale in 2016 in the New York Times article "272 Slaves Were Sold to Save Georgetown. What does It owe Their Descendants?"
Swarns' new book — The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church — expands on that article. It tells the story of the Church's history of enslavement in America, while illustrating the consequences by focusing on generations of one family that had several members among those 272 people sold by the Church in 1838. Two descendants of the family she writes about in the book found each other as a result of her New York Times article.
To this day, our contemporary institutions are "deeply connected" to slavery, Swarns says. She hopes that telling multi-generational stories of families associated with these institutions will help make this history more present and more personal. "This isn't this faceless, amorphous thing," Swarns says. "These are people. They have names. And we are connected to that. We are connected to that history today."
Interview Highlights
On what happened on that fall day in November 1838, in Alexandria, Va.
There were elderly people, husbands and wives, children, babies wailing. These were enslaved people who had been sold and were being shipped down South, far from the people they loved and the world that they knew. They had been owned and enslaved and sold by the nation's most prominent Catholic priests who happened to be among the largest slaveholders in Maryland.
If you had been there on a wharf that day, you would have seen scores of people being loaded onto a ship – forcibly loaded. There were elderly people, husbands and wives, children, babies wailing. These were enslaved people who had been sold and were being shipped down South, far from the people they loved and the world that they knew. They had been owned and enslaved and sold by the nation's most prominent Catholic priests who happened to be among the largest slaveholders in Maryland. And when times got hard, they did what people at the time did — which was to sell their assets. In this case, 272 men, women and children, which they sold to save the college that we now know as Georgetown University.
On the contradictory relationship between the Jesuit priests and the enslaved people working on the Maryland plantations that sustained those priests
They were interested in nurturing the souls of the people that they held captive – but they were also fine with enslaving them and selling their bodies when need be. It was a contradiction that people pointed out – there are these lonely voices along the way. ... But it wasn't enough to persuade the priests or the Church to take a different path.
On the way the Catholic Church justified slavery
Jesuits often point to Saint Paul and passages in the Bible that talk about the responsibility of the enslaved and of masters, too. So there is this history that feels familiar. But in the British colony, in the Americas, it becomes racialized, it becomes hereditary in a way that it was not before. ... Maryland was set up as a place for Catholics, and many Catholics sought refuge there. That was part of the issue as well: The Catholic priests who were persecuted ... wanted to be established. A society established in Maryland meant slave ownership.
On Thomas Mulledy – a Jesuit priest and early president of Georgetown – whose vision for the Catholic Church led to the sale of people enslaved by the Church
He has a vision that is radically different from the vision of the earliest Jesuits. ... He says: Listen, this idea of Catholicism based in a rural, plantation-based kind of system is outdated. The future is in the cities. The future is with the thousands of immigrants coming from Ireland and Germany – and we need to be positioned to capitalize on that. And to do that – to be able to establish schools in these major cities in the Northeast – we need money. And to get that money, we need to sell our assets, these enslaved people. And he was determined to do that.
On the faith of the people enslaved by the Church
It's one of the really interesting and surprising things about this story. You might think to yourself: My goodness, these folks were betrayed by the Catholic Church, enslaved, sold, betrayed by the Church, surely they would leave the Church. When I think about this story, I think, OK, it is certainly a story of heartbreak, yes. But it's also a story of family and faith. And it turns out that the Church itself meant a lot to these families. The Church was not in their minds, you know, controlled by these sinful men who did these things. The Church was more than that. They could not control the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — all of that belongs to those people. And not only did they hold on to their faith, but after the [Civil] War, they became religious leaders, many lay leaders within the institution and tried to reshape it.
On Georgetown University's work to make amends
Georgetown has taken a number of steps to address its history. In 2016, they decided that descendants would have, in effect, legacy status and admissions to Georgetown. They have more recently put into place a plan that they had announced a couple of years ago, which involves them raising $400,000 a year for programs designed to benefit the descendant community. ...
I think there is now a consortium of universities that have this history. ... It's certainly not just Catholic institutions: Harvard ... University of Virginia — there are a number of colleges and universities around the country that are grappling with this. And in terms of the story ... It's important to note, too, that the Church itself, the Jesuits, have come up with a plan to try and address this history as well.
On being Black and Catholic and learning about this history
I was astounded. It knocked me off my feet, I have to be honest. I had written a book about Michelle Obama's enslaved ancestors. I have a better-than-average familiarity with the 19th century and slavery. I consider myself a reasonably educated person. This history is certainly familiar to historians, but it is not well-known at all. I did not know. I am Black and Catholic. I had no idea. ...
Enslaved people have been largely left out of the origin story that is traditionally told about the Catholic Church. You don't hear about enslaved people at Mass or in Sunday school.
Enslaved people have been largely left out of the origin story that is traditionally told about the Catholic Church. You don't hear about enslaved people at Mass or in Sunday school or most anywhere. And so for me, it was like Catholic priests participated in the slave trade? How didn't I know?
On how learning this history has changed her relationship to the Church
It has, but perhaps not in the way that you might expect. I'm a practicing Catholic. I go to Mass on Sundays. And I was doing this research, looking at these records, reading about these families torn apart, as a practicing Catholic, going to Mass, going to Church. In a lot of ways, it has actually deepened my connection to the Church.
As Black Catholic, I didn't always see myself in the Church. ... It's often portrayed as kind of a Northern church, an immigrant church. But now I see myself in the Church and these families who were so determined to hold onto their faith and to make the Church true to what it said it was — a universal church, a church that welcomed and accepted everyone. That has been really inspiring to me to see how they did that and how they worked to reshape the Church.

LAS VEGAS (AP)First baseman Anthony Rizzo became a free agent again when he declined his $16 million option with the New York Yankees for 2023.
Pitcher Chris Bassitt declined his $19 million option with the New York Mets and followed rotation mates Jacob deGrom and Taijuan Walker into free agency.
They were among 11 players who became free agents Tuesday, raising the total to 151. About 33 more players are potentially eligible to go free by Thursday, joining a free agent class headed by Aaron Judge, Trea Turner, Dansby Swanson, deGrom, Carlos Correa and Xander Bogaerts.
Acquired from the Chicago Cubs at the 2021 trade deadline, Rizzo went free after the 2021 season and stayed with the Yankees for a deal that paid $16 million this year.
He hit 32 home runs for the fourth time in his career – he’s never hit more – and had 75 RBIs in 130 games despite a .224 batting average. The 33-year-old was sidelined between Aug. 31 and Sept. 18 by back pain and headaches from an epidural injection to treat his back.
Rizzo’s home runs were 40% of the Yankees’ 77 by left-handed batters and his RBIs were 37% of the 202 by New York’s lefties.
Bassitt gets a $150,000 buyout, completing a one-year deal for $8.8 million. The 33-year-old righty went 15-9 with a 3.42 ERA in 30 starts after the Mets acquired him from Oakland at the end of the lockout.
San Diego declined a $20 million option on 31-year-old outfielder and first baseman Wil Myers, who gets a $1 million buyout that completes an $83 million, six-year contract. He hit .261 with seven homers and 41 RBIs.
Colorado turned down an $8 million team option on reliever Scott Oberg, who has not pitched since 2019 due to blood clots in his arms. Oberg completed a $13 million, three-year contract.
Left-hander Andrew Chafin turned down a $6.5 million option with Detroit, making his deal worth $6.5 million for one season. He went 2-3 with a 2.83 ERA in 64 relief appearances.
NL champion Philadelphia declined a $17 million option on second baseman Jean Segura, who gets a $1 million buyout that finishes a $70 million, five-year deal. Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin turned down a $15 million mutual option for a $150,000 buyout, completing a $5.7 million, one-year contract.
Minnesota declined options on right-handers Chris Archer ($10 million) and Dylan Bundy ($11 million) and first baseman Miguel Sano ($14 million) in favor of buyouts of $750,000 for Archer, $1 million for Bundy and $2.75 million for Sano, who finished a $30 million, three-year contract.
Infielder Josh Harrison’s $5,625,000 option was declined by the Chicago White Sox in favor of a $1.5 million buyout.

Lease finalized for future Atlanta museum to open as the largest location, featuring new concepts coming from the global brand
ATLANTA, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Museum of Illusions®, the world's largest privately-held museum chain, announced today that Atlanta will soon be home to the global brand's largest location ever opened, from which the company will unveil the company's newest creative design and style concept.
Following the lease agreement recently finalized between the brand and Hines, the 11,000 square feet of space in Atlanta's bustling Atlantic Station will open before the close of this year as a state-of-the-art museum designed for visitors of all ages to enjoy mentally stimulating optical illusions, 3D holograms, brain-puzzling exhibits and interactive illusion rooms. Future visitors of the new museum can expect a truly unique experience, as the Atlanta Museum of Illusions will feature some exhibits that will be entirely new to the brand.
"Museum of Illusions is an immersive, mind-bending experience and will be the perfect addition to Atlantic Station's line-up of innovative concepts," said Starr Cumming, retail director of specialty leasing for Hines. "Atlantic Station is the city's hot spot for Atlantans' dining, shopping or entertainment desires. As we continue to seek big and bold ideas to bring to the property, we look forward to welcoming Museum of Illusions' largest location ever later this year."
Atlanta is one of the largest and most influential markets in the U.S. The city is renowned for its rich history, and its vibrant culture, art and music scenes, making it an ideal market for Museum of Illusions' continued expansion across the United States. The fast-growing "Empire City of the South" is home to a young and diverse population of creatives and innovators who enjoy memorable and unique entertainment and immersive art experiences, making Museum of Illusions the perfect fit for Atlanta.
"We are beyond excited to expand our brand's U.S. footprint in this market," said Jonathan Benjamin, CEO of Museum of Illusions, and long-time Atlanta resident. "As we continue our global expansion efforts, we are also in the process of securing new office space in Atlanta to serve as the company's new U.S. headquarters. More details to follow soon, but in the meantime, we are thrilled that the Atlanta community has created a space for us to bring one of our most exciting museums yet to such a flourishing city."
News of Museum of Illusions' development in Atlanta follows the brand's recent announcement of its confirmed plans to open a new museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, signifying the brand's commitment to rapidly growing its U.S. presence with some of its most impressive facilities yet. Deals are in the works to bring the museum to at least 100 locations around the world over the course of the next 4 years, with the company poised to up the ante with each new location.

What’s the best gaming computer?
There are plenty of people who enjoy playing video games, but they don’t have the time or inclination to build their own system. That usually involves a lot of research and planning, and you must also make sure the parts are compatible.
The easier — and sometimes cheaper — way is to buy a gaming computer that’s already assembled. You’ll need to do nothing else except turn it on and install your favorite games. If that sounds like a dream, then the 2022 HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC is an excellent option.
What to know before you buy a gaming computer
Consider what games you’ll play most
What you can do and how well you can do it depends on the PC’s internal components. A gaming computer should be strong enough to play the latest titles, but consider what else you’ll use it for. If you do occasional graphic design, you’ll greatly benefit from more memory and a faster graphics card. Remember, you don’t need the latest and greatest components to enjoy top-tier games, so there’s no need to go over budget.
Additional components might be necessary but tricky
A pre-built computer uses the manufacturer’s components as well as some third-party parts. While that ensures compatibility, it’s not always the best. For example, a computer with a powerful graphics card needs more cooling or ventilation inside a stock PC case. So consider installing a liquid cooling system or adding more extraction fans. This can get tricky, as you must ensure the case is large enough and the components remain compatible.
You must have your own accessories
A pre-built computer is all the components assembled in the case, so it’s ready to play games straight out of the box. But it doesn’t come with any accessories or peripherals. If a pre-built machine is your first PC, you must also buy a gaming monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. For sound, you have a couple of options, but most gamers prefer to use a wired headset unless the motherboard has built-in Bluetooth — then, you can use a wireless headset.
What to look for in a quality gaming computer
Central processing unit
The CPU is at the heart of any computer, responsible for sending instructions to the other components. Depending on the motherboard, the CPU will either be made by Intel or AMD. The CPU is less crucial for gaming in terms of graphical quality but nonetheless important. A good-quality computer has at least an Intel Core i5 or an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU.
Random access memory
The RAM is the computer’s memory and stores all the short-term data required to execute tasks. The more RAM you have, the faster a PC can get things done without slowing down. A good-quality gaming PC has at least 8 gigabytes of RAM, but 16GB is becoming the norm as video games become more resource-demanding.
Graphics card
When it comes to video games, the graphics card plays an integral role. It’s the main component that determines visual quality. Most gamers go for an Nvidia graphics card, with the RTX 30 series being the latest. Others prefer AMD’s cards, with the Radeon RX 6000 series as the newest model.
How much you can expect to spend on a gaming computer
This largely depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the internal components. An entry-level gaming computer with 32GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5 CPU costs $1,000-$1,200. However, a more powerful PC with a high-end graphics card runs $2,000-$3,000.
Gaming computer FAQ
Can you use any mouse and keyboard?
A. Yes, you can use whatever mouse or keyboard brand you want. It will work as long as the accessory connects wirelessly or through a USB port. Your accessories are not dependent on the PC’s internal components.
How do you add storage space?
A. To add hard drive space, you have a few options. Depending on the motherboard’s configuration, you can easily add another SSD or hard drive. If there isn’t enough space in the case, you can always connect an external hard drive through a USB port.
What’s the best gaming computer to buy?
Top gaming computer
2022 HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC

- Delivering broadest portfolio of solutions to manage the lifecycle of the grid
- Stepwise journeys enabling utilities to start small while laying a foundation that scales for long-term visions
- Grid to Prosumer approach extended with Home Energy Management
BOSTON and SAN DIEGO, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the next phase in its Grids of the Future offerings at DISTRIBUTECH International® 2023, the leading annual transmission and distribution event for utilities, technology providers, and industry leaders.
North American utilities are facing significant disruption with a climate emergency, talent scarcity and energy crisis, further exacerbated by prosumer revolutions on the demand side. To provide guidance through this unprecedented change, Schneider Electric has expanded its Grid to Prosumer portfolio to help customers and utilities transform and digitalize their business across the energy value chain.
"Rather than a barrier, this inevitable new energy landscape presents an opportunity for utilities to transform their businesses by reimagining their existing business models, capturing infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding, and digitalizing the demand and supply sides," said Gary Lawrence, Power and Grid Segment President at Schneider Electric. "We are proud to have a robust and continuously evolving portfolio to serve as a trusted partner in the journey toward Grids of the Future."
Delivering the Broadest Spectrum of Solutions to Manage the Lifecycle of the Grid
Stepwise journeys for digital transformation: As utilities face complex grid, power generation, and energy transition challenges, rapid innovation with agile deployments helps utilities achieve near-term benefits while laying a foundation for bold long-term visions. Adopting a stepwise approach allows utilities to start small and scale over time by initially focusing on the most pressing customer needs and grid locations versus deploying solutions systemwide all at once. The Grid to Prosumer approach addresses distributed energy resource (DER) management needs across enterprise technology and business processes. An example stepwise journey for DER management starts with modeling and simulation, then incrementally advances to situational awareness, simplified optimization, advanced optimization and market integration.
First-of-its-kind home energy management solution: Schneider Electric has made additional investments in Grid to Prosumer with extended offerings that now include home energy management. Award winning Schneider Home provides homeowners with energy independence through an integrated home energy management solution – controlled by a single, easy-to-use app – that automates energy production, storage, measurement and control, making homes efficient, resilient and sustainable. With a multi-faceted approach guided by a foundation of digital transformation, utilities can integrate with Schneider Home to maximize grid flexibility, respond to changing prosumer priorities and optimize across market needs.
EcoStruxure™ Grid Operation deployable on Azure for outage management: Schneider's Grid Operations Platform as a Service was built to address current and future challenges for grid operators, including small to medium utilities looking to modernize. Now EcoStruxure™ Grid Operation is available as a cloud deployable solution hosted on Microsoft's Azure infrastructure. With this agile approach to outage management, grid operators can focus on core business strategies versus maintaining and updating IT infrastructure. This advancement is one of many examples that support Schneider Electric's #1 ranking in the Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard for ADMS Vendors report.
AI-powered vegetation management for grid resilience: Schneider Electric also announces a new joint grid resilience offering with AiDash, which addresses modern day infrastructure and environmental challenges, such as aging power grids, decarbonization and distributed power generation, vegetation growth inside rights-of-way, and the impact of storms and wildfires. Now, utilities can leverage the latest in analytics to prevent power outages, predict future outcomes, and build climate resilience.
EcoStruxure™ Transformer Expert for asset maintenance and operations: Acknowledging the essential role transformers play in today's energy landscape, Schneider Electric has launched EcoStruxure Transformer Expert, an easy-to-deploy monitoring solution for higher ROI. It includes IoT sensors and software analytics for oil transformers that can be leveraged for oil transformers of all ages, regardless of manufacturer. It helps maximize operations uptime and operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and extend lifetime by providing full visibility into health status and operations to drive data-driven decisions and optimization.
Substation control for secure operations: PowerLogic T500 offers a substation controller for distribution automation in a single, low-power-consuming device. Delivering advanced cybersecurity features to minimize business disruption while ensuring peace of mind with certified IEC 62443 SL2 compliance, it is easy to use throughout the product lifecycle and ensures a fully digital experience. Complete with an intuitive configuration tool and a flexible web-based user interface, PowerLogic T500 is integrated with EcoStruxure™ System Management, advanced data management software that helps reduce electrical faults and downtime by providing operators with the capability of performing maintenance on connected devices in diverse, multi-vendor environments.
Service plan portfolio for asset lifecycle management: Providing exclusive support to optimize operations, Schneider's EcoCare membership offers depth expertise combined with innovative digital capabilities across the equipment lifecycle for decarbonization and electrification, while EcoConsult delivers consulting expertise and actionable insights for safety, resiliency, efficiency and sustainability. Finally, EcoFit minimizes waste to position your business for the future. Schneider is welcoming new EcoCare Members to enjoy the innovation service plan for low and medium voltage equipment.

President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the U.S. economy from an auditorium on the White House campus in Washington, U.S. October 26, 2022. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Wednesday issued guidance that surprise overdraft fees and unexpected depositor fees for bounced checks are likely unfair and unlawful practices, in a move the White House said could eliminate billions in banking fees.
"These are junk fees. They're unfair and they hit marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low income folks and people of color," President Joe Biden told a press conference. "They benefit big corporations. Not consumers. Not working families. And that changes now."
Overdraft fees can catch consumers off guard when they don't reasonably expect their actions to incur a fee, while charging a fee to a depositor of a bounced check penalizes someone who might not be aware of a bad check, the CFPB said.
The agency said that both fees likely violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act's prohibition on unfair fees that are unavoidable to consumers.
In a fact sheet, the White House noted that bank overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees accounted for an estimated $15.5 billion in revenue for banks in 2019.
“Americans are willing to pay for legitimate services at a competitive price, but are frustrated when they are hit with junk fees for unexpected or unwanted services that have no value to them,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra in a statement.
“We are providing guidance on existing law that will help law-abiding businesses seeking to fairly compete and the families they serve.”
Biden added that the Federal Trade Commission had started work on a rule last week to crack down on "unfair and deceptive fees across all industries." He cited processing fees for concert tickets and resort fees at hotels as two items his administration is examining.
"We're just getting started. There's tens of billions of dollars and other junk fees across the economy that I'm directing my administration to reduce or eliminate," Biden said.
His remarks follow a meeting the White House Competition Council held last month, in which he ordered federal agencies to take steps to reduce or eliminate hidden fees, charges and add-on costs, which he said were weighing on family budgets.

Parents of Oxford HS shooting victim file lawsuit against school district, employees
DETROIT (WNEM) - Ven Johnson Law announced it filed a lawsuit for the family of one of the victims who died in the Oxford High School shooting.
Justin Shilling, 17, was killed in the shooting on Nov. 30. The Shilling family joined an existing civil lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court, which Johnson filed in January.
This brings the total plaintiffs in the lawsuit to six students and five families including the Shillings, Myers, Gregorys, Alianos and Lucas’.
Ven Johnson Law also filed a separate lawsuit in federal court on Monday, May 23, which makes claims against Oxford Community Schools and its employees.
Due to governmental immunity, Oxford Community Schools was not listed as a defendant in Ven Johnson Law’s state court lawsuit. Governmental immunity protects government agencies from being sued in state court.
The newly filed complaint lists three separate federal counts against Oxford Community Schools including violations of both the state-created danger doctrine and supervisory liability doctrine under the Fourteenth Amendment as well as Monell Liability doctrine.
In addition to Oxford Community Schools, the defendants in the federal lawsuit include:
- Superintendent Timothy Throne
- Principal Steven Wolf
- Dean of Students Nicholas Ejak
- School Counselor Shawn Hopkins
- Superintendent Kenneth Weaver
- Pam Parker Fine
- Jacqueline Kubina
- Becky Morgan
- Allison Karpinski
“While this new lawsuit won’t remedy the pain and suffering these families have gone through, it will certainly hold the school district and its officials accountable for their role in not properly supervising and training teachers and counselors, who have an obligation to ensure students remain safe,” Johnson said. “With the alarming number of red flags and desperate cries for help that Ethan’s parents, teachers, counselors and administrators all somehow missed, this mass shooting absolutely could and should have been prevented.”

Blinken says China’s balloon spy program has been exposed
MUNICH (AP) — The top diplomats from the United States and China met on Saturday in the first high-level contact between their countries since the U.S. shot down an alleged Chinese spy balloon two weeks ago, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken sending the message that Beijing’s surveillance program had been “exposed to the world.”
Blinken and Wang Yi, the Chinese Communist Party’s most senior foreign policy official, held the talks in Munich, where they were attending an international security conference, according to the U.S. State Department.
“The secretary directly spoke to the unacceptable violation of U.S. sovereignty and international law by the PRC high-altitude surveillance balloon in U.S. territorial airspace, underscoring that this irresponsible act must never again occur,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement, referring to the People’s Republic of China.
He said Blinken “made clear the United States will not stand for any violation of our sovereignty, and that the PRC’s high-altitude surveillance balloon program — which has intruded into the airspace of over 40 countries across five continents — has been exposed to the world,” Price said.
Blinken had canceled a trip to Beijing earlier this month due to the balloon incident, which has become a major issue of contention between the two countries. A meeting at the conference in Germany had been widely anticipated.
Blinken also told Wang that the U.S. does not seek conflict with China, repeating a standard talking point that the Biden administration has provided since it has come into office.
“The United States will compete and will unapologetically stand up for our values and interests, but that we do not want conflict with the PRC and are not looking for a new Cold War,” Price said. Blinken “underscored the importance of maintaining diplomatic dialogue and open lines of communication at all times.”
In addition to the balloon incident, Price said Blinken had reiterated a warning to China on providing assistance to Russia to help with its war against Ukraine, including assisting Moscow with evading sanctions the West has imposed on Russia.
Earlier Saturday, Wang had renewed Beijing’s criticism of the United States for shooting down what Washington says was a Chinese spy balloon, arguing that the move did not point to U.S. strength.
Beijing insists the white orb shot down off the Carolina coast on Feb. 4 was just an errant civilian airship used mainly for meteorological research that went off course due to winds and had only limited “self-steering” capabilities.
Wang, the director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, repeated that insistence in a speech at the conference and accused the U.S. of violating international legal norms in destroying the object with a missile fired from an U.S. fighter jet.
“The actions don’t show that the U.S. is big and strong, but describe the exact opposite,” Wang said.
Wang also accused the U.S. of denying China’s economic advances and seeking to impede its further development.
“What we hope for from the U.S. is a pragmatic and positive approach to China that allows us to work together,” Wang said.
His comments came shortly before an address to the conference by Vice President Kamala Harris, who didn’t mention the balloon controversy or respond to Wang’s comments. She stressed the importance of upholding the “international rules-based order.”
She said Washington is “troubled that Beijing has deepened its relationship with Moscow since the war began” in Ukraine and that “looking ahead, any steps by China to provide lethal support to Russia would only reward aggression, continue the killing and further undermine a rules-based order.”
