100 deadly days of summer — how NJ cops are cracking down
🔴 "100 Deadly Days" begin with the unofficial start of summer
🔴 Police crackdowns are planned for each month
🔴 Drivers are encouraged to use common sense behind the wheel
FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP — In New Jersey alone, hundreds of lives may be lost on the roads between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
The span between the two holiday weekends is known to road-safety advocates and officials as the "100 deadly days of summer." Historically, more than 10,000 people die in crashes during the summer months across the U.S. on a yearly basis.
"These statistics are still shocking to me, and they should be to you, too, because nearly all of these deaths will have been preventable," Mike Rizol, director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, said during a Tuesday morning press conference at a AAA location in Freehold.
Increased patrols this summer
In order to keep the fatality and injury count as low as possible, officers are increasing their presence on the roads and enforcement of road rules over the holiday weekend and throughout the summer.
More than 130 municipalities were awarded federal funding to set up checkpoints and increase patrols as part of a statewide Click It or Ticket campaign that's underway and targets seat belt usage. The mobilization is scheduled to continue through the middle of June.
In 2022, police throughout New Jersey issued more than 53,000 seat belt summonses. Last year, 50% of the vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were not buckled up, Rizol said.
Special attention will be paid to speeding in the month of July. As part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's anti-speeding campaign, additional police officers will be on patrol enforcing the speed limit.
"Speeding can change a minor crash into a tragedy," Rizol said.
And the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" messaging will take over in August.
So far this year, New Jersey State Police has arrested 2,000 impaired drivers, according to Lt. Kevin Bartels.
Over the long Memorial Day Weekend, NJSP will have additional patrols on the road for driving-while-intoxicated enforcement.
"One hundred troopers, over 800 hours, and that's not going to be the end of these details," Bartels said.
Ninety-one percent of the more than 1 million New Jersey residents traveling for the upcoming holiday weekend are expected to do so by car, according to AAA. That's a 6% increase from last year, nearing pre-pandemic levels.
"AAA is reminding everybody to always buckle up, refrain from driving impaired, put your phone away, and focus on the road, and please follow the posted speed limits," said Tracy Noble, spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

Ahead of Florida’s primary election on Aug. 23, several VERIFY viewers asked us to look into a viral meme that claims to show a list of banned books in the state.
The meme, which went viral on social media, claims Florida banned popular classic books including “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “The Catcher in the Rye.”
“Florida’s Anti-Woke banned book list. A couple of them make sense considering republicans should be terrified their constituents might read ‘1984,’” the meme says.
Even Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, posted the meme to Twitter. Hamill’s tweet alone had more than 147,000 likes.
VERIFY viewers Lisa and Larry both texted us to ask if the list was real and if the ban was ordered by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
THE QUESTION
Is the list of banned books in Florida real, as a viral meme claims?
THE SOURCES
- Bryan Griffin, press secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis
- Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards
- Florida House Bill 1467
- Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson
- Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers
- American Library Association
- Red, Wine & Blue education advocacy group
THE ANSWER
No, the meme list of banned books in Florida isn’t real. The state of Florida doesn't have a list of banned books, but local school districts do have the authority to ban books.
WHAT WE FOUND
VERIFY has found posts with this specific list of books dating back to at least February 2022, but the older versions of the meme didn’t include the text about it being centralized to Florida.
DeSantis didn’t issue a statewide ban on books in Florida, Bryan Griffin, press secretary for the governor, told VERIFY.
“As far as I see it, this is just a completely fictitious list made by people potentially living in an alternate reality,” Griffin said.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, the second largest teachers union in the nation, deleted a tweet showing the viral meme with the list and said she should have done her research.
“I should have double checked before I retweeted this list. My bad. Looks like some of the books weren’t banned. Book bans are very real & dangerous,” she tweeted.
Many of the books on the meme are on the American Library Association’s list of “Banned & Challenged Classics,” which documents books that have historically been banned or attempted to be removed from libraries, schools and universities in the United States.
In fact, some of the listed books from the viral meme are specifically recommended in Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards, Griffin told VERIFY.
The B.E.S.T. Standards were created after DeSantis signed a bill eliminating Common Core curriculum. According to the B.E.S.T. Standards, even though the Common Core curriculum was cut, the B.E.S.T standards create “literacy standards for our Florida students that will shape their education and secure their position as leading the charge to make Florida the most literate state in the nation.”
Some of the books on the alleged banned book list are listed in the B.E.S.T. Standards. Some examples:
- “To Kill a Mockingbird”
- “The Call of the Wild”
- “1984”
- “Of Mice and Men”
- “Lord of the Flies”
“There is no banned book list at the state level. The state sets guidelines regarding content, and the local school districts are responsible for enforcing them,” Griffin said.
In March, DeSantis signed HB 1467 into law that required schools to be more transparent about their curriculum and gave parents a chance to have input on selecting library books and other instructional materials.
“Florida parents are seeking greater involvement in many aspects of our education system, and this legislation speaks to that effort. The books our kids are reading in schools need to have proper vetting. Parents have a right, and a responsibility, to be involved in that process,” Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson said at the time of signing.
“Not all books are appropriate for every grade level. This legislation makes sure that we have a transparent and consistent process for public participation in the review of books and other materials used in school lessons and in the school library,” Simpson said.
However, there are some school districts in Florida that have decided to ban books from being used or studied in their classrooms.
For example, the Flagler County, Fla., school superintendent banned “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” written by LGBTQ+ activist George M. Johnson after a parent complained it was obscene. There have been at least 10 books that have been banned in Florida’s Duval County from 1978 to present.

LOS ANGELES - In a story set for the silver screen, the best players in the golfing world come to Hollywood to see who wins one of the biggest tournaments, as they compete in the 123rd edition of the U.S. Open.
- Watch the U.S. Open on FuboTV (7-day free trial) and Peacock
It is anyone’s guess on who the favorite is coming into this year’s tournament. With the recent news of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger, tensions will be high heading into L.A.
Defending PGA Championship victor Brooks Koepka is hoping to build off his impressive performance. The Floridian is a five-time Grand Slam champion, having won the U.S. Open in consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. Koepka won both the PGA and the U.S. Open in 2018.
One of the players who finished tied for second at Oak Hill last month was the current world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler. Last year’s Masters champion has played well in recent months, but has not been able to finish atop the leaderboard. Following his runner-up performance at the PGA, Scheffler ended up tied for third in the Charles Schwab Challenge, before losing by a couple of strokes at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago.
Rahm has fallen out of the top spot in the world rankings after a couple of tough outings. The 2021 U.S. Open winner is hoping to bounce back after finishing seven-over at the PGA, and ending up seven strokes back of the leader at the Memorial in Columbus.
Last year’s winner, Matt Fitzpatrick, is back in the field this week, but is a longshot to win the title, just like 2022.

In January 2021, Yahya Rasa returned home with pride to Kabul, Afghanistan. A boisterous celebration and an elaborate meal of Afghan delicacies awaited him after completing his master's degree in business management in Malaysia. "Being the first person in my family to secure a master's degree from abroad, I was a role model to my siblings and even my friends," the 25-year-old says.
Over a year and half later, and nearly a year after the August 2021 Taliban takeover of Afghanistan that led to widespread unemployment and poverty, Rasa struggles to find a job and support himself and his new bride.
He's reminded of all this every time he sits to eat at his family's traditional dining rug, or dastarkhaan in Persian. Where once was a generous spread of Afghan dishes like qabli pulao, a dish of meat and rice with carrots, raisins and other dry fruits; mantus and aashak, Afghan dumplings stuffed with meat and vegetables, respectively; and fresh seasonal fruits, today "most of our meals [are] very basic, like kidney beans or potatoes or lentils," Rasa says.
"There have also been times that the only food we had was bread and tea. It feels like [the] dastarkhaan is always empty."
Rasa is one of nearly 20 million Afghans struggling to put food on the dastarkhaan, according to a May report by the International Rescue Committee. Afghanistan's economy crashed after the 2021 takeover, exacerbating steep increases in poverty that already had occurred because of COVID-19 and droughts, says Lutfi Rahimi, an economics professor at the American University of Afghanistan. Earthquakes last month killed hundreds and added to the country's suffering.
The crisis is also affecting Afghans from the middle class who are now plunged into a lower class because the jobs they relied on have evaporated, Rahimi says. Several of these former professionals told NPR that they make no money and survive because of humanitarian aid, charity or by selling possessions like furniture. "Poverty did not happen overnight, but the collapse made the already failing situation even worse," Rahimi says.
A central part of the Afghan home
The dastarkhaan holds a special significance in Afghan culture, explains Mina Sharif, an Afghan media consultant who produces radio and television programming, including two seasons of the Afghan "Sesame Street". Now based in Canada, Sharif volunteers with Aseel, an organization that helps provide food and care packages to Afghans in need. "A dastarkhaan is where Afghan families connect with each other, their community and also the guests of their country," Sharif says.
Like a family dining table, the dastarkhaan holds meals, fruits and desserts every day. It is prominent across Central Asia and the Middle East. Special dastarkhaan preparations are common during Islamic feast days and holidays, Persian new year or when hosting guests. For Afghans, the dastarkhaan is an expression of hospitality and respect to guests and ideally is colorful and overflowing with food, akin to U.S. Thanksgiving spreads. "If you've been invited to an Afghan home and sit with them on the dastarkhaan to break bread with them, you are considered one of the family," Sharif says.
Learning to live with less
Like Rasa, many people who were previously able to afford a generous dastarkhaan, or at least a satisfactory meal, have now found themselves unable to do so.
The prior Afghan government was not only a big economic contributor but also a big employer, Rahimi explains. "The military and security apparatus alone employed over half a million Afghans. All these jobs vanished overnight, and people lost their income," he said, adding that the private sector in Afghanistan is a small fraction of the economy unlike that of the West.
A female journalist, who asked to be identified only by her initials F.S. to protect her from possible Taliban persecution, says that her brother, a former civil servant, was repeatedly threatened by the Taliban and fled the country. She once paid for her own schooling and, with her brother, supported a family of five, including her parents and siblings. When the Taliban took control of her province, the majority of the women journalists were removed from their jobs, and the girls' school where she taught was closed. "Before August 2021, we were a two-income household and could afford small luxuries" like new clothes and celebratory meals, F.S. said, describing her family's once glorious dastarkhaans. In stark contrast, for the last Eid holiday in May, all the family had were some beans along with a small portion of meat shared by a neighbor. "Today, I can't even pacify my younger siblings when they cry for food," F.S. says. "It is hard for children to understand what poverty is."
Projects undertaken by Mohammad Modares's construction company in Daikundi province were halted when the Taliban took control, because banks stopped functioning and people couldn't afford construction. His business lost all its income and he let go of his staff. A small family farm barely provides enough to feed his parents, siblings, wife and daughter in his village.
"Our dastarkhaan has changed a lot in less than a year. We use potatoes and beans instead of meat. We do not eat fruits," he says. The family cannot even afford clean drinking water, he adds.
Modares used to make close to $250 every month, a middle-class income in Afghanistan. He moved to Kabul on his own four months ago, staying with friends while seeking a job to repay his debts. He has applied for over 50 positions but hasn't received a response. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people apply for every job opening, Rahimi says.
Modares, who is living on the last of his savings, survives on one small meal a day, often potato fries or bread with tea. "I have to pay for my own costs in the city, and send money to my wife and daughter," he says. "I try to eat less and only cheap things."
Also in Kabul, Rasa, the recent master's graduate, is feeling the crisis take a toll on his mental health. "Sometimes it gets so hard that I think life isn't worth living and I think about suicide," he admits. "I have applied for many jobs but even with [a] foreign degree and good grades I can't land even a small position," he laments. "What good is this education when I can't even feed my family?" Yet he keeps trying to find work, buoyed by the hope that he will once again experience a dastarkhaan laden with delights.

'Scream VI' tops box office with franchise-best $44.5M
Oscar weekend belonged to "Scream VI" in theaters, as the horror sequel notched a franchise-best $44.5 million in domestic ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group co-production sailed past expectations, easily surpassing the previous series high of $32 million that "Scream 2" opened with in 1997. The film's robust debut, coming as Hollywood prepared to gather for the 95th Academy Awards, was yet another reminder of how horror has come to be one of the industry's few sure things at the box office.
After lying dormant for more than a decade, the "Scream" franchise, previously directed by Wes Craven and released by Dimension Films, has found a ripe revival with a young cast led by "Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have brought back the 27-year-old series' meta slasher storylines and serial killer Ghostface, and it's paying off. Last year's "Scream V" grossed $137 million worldwide on a production budget of $24 million. In the latest chapter, Courtney Cox returns as reporter Gale Weathers, as does Hayden Panettiere, a veteran of "Scream IV." But it's the first "Scream" movie without Neve Campbell.
"Scream VI," quickly greenlit after the success of "V," has also fared fairly well with both critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 75% fresh rating. Moviegoers gave it a "B+" CinemaScore, a decent grade for a horror film. The sixth "Scream," which cost $33 million to make, added $22.6 million overseas.
Last week's top film, "Creed III," slid to second after its above-expectations launch. Michael B. Jordan's MGM "Rocky" spinoff, starring him and Jonathan Majors, earned $27.1 million in its second weekend. It has rapidly passed $100 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters.
Columbia Pictures' "65," a science-fiction thriller starring Adam Driver as a space explorer stranded on prehistoric Earth, opened in third place with an estimated $12.3 million from 3,405 locations, and an additional $7.2 million internationally. That might be better than expected, too, for a film that got terrible reviews from critics. (It scored just 35% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.) But "65" reportedly carried a hefty production budget of about $90 million, though tax rebates roughly halved that cost to financiers including Sony, Bron Studios and TSG.
Bobby Farrelly's "Champions," starring Woody Harrelson as a disgraced coach trying to lead a basketball team to the Special Olympics, opened with $5.2 million in 3,030 locations. Audiences (an "A" CinemaScore) have liked it more than reviewers (53% on Rotten Tomatoes).
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Scream VI," $44.5 million.
2. "Creed III," $27.1 million.
3. "65," $12.3 million.
4. "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," $7 million.
5. "Cocaine Bear," $6.2 million.
6. "Jesus Revolution," $5.2 million.
7. "Champions," $5.2 million.
8. "Avatar: The Way of Water," $2.7 million.
9. "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: To the Swords," $1.9 million.
10. "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," $1.7 million.

The company also announced new executive hires as it continues to expand following the closure of its $5.4M seed round in May
BOSTON, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Salient Predictions, a Boston-based technology company that creates the world's most accurate subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) weather forecasts and analytics, today announced the launch of a new suite of weather metrics that will provide agribusiness and food producers with data to make faster, smarter decisions.
"Agriculture businesses are experiencing first-hand the effects of our changing climate," said Matt Stein, CEO of Salient. "Having more accurate, long-term weather metrics that go far beyond what's possible today gives them a critical advantage for resource planning and preparedness in the face of increasing climate disruptions."
The company's new agriculture metrics incorporate hyper-localized forecast data that's relevant to the agriculture sector. This data is based on Salient's industry-leading ocean and land-surface forecasting technologies developed from decades of research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and MIT. Localized parameters, including soil moisture, surface runoff, and frost and drought risk indices, will enable agribusiness and food producers to better prepare for future weather conditions and potential supply chain disruptions.
"These new and enhanced metrics enable agribusinesses to better anticipate the impacts of weather on their operations," said Janet Lee, Chief Product Officer at Salient.
"By contextualizing the forecast in the local environment, Salient can answer the question, 'What does this forecast mean for me?'," noted Anthony Atlas, Salient's Head of Agriculture and Supply Chain. "This helps agribusinesses better anticipate the needs of their customers and proactively place the right products at the right time to maximize the benefits realized."
Salient's new agriculture solutions build on the company's success in the agriculture sector. In 2021, Salient and BASF announced an agreement that provided BASF customers with accurate long-range, seasonal weather forecasting data to enable precise agronomic decisions. Salient's recent research has focused on the intensification of the global water cycle and the role that ocean salinity has in predicting subseasonal-to-seasonal weather events for agriculture, energy, insurance, and supply chain and logistics businesses. A recent paper discovered remote salinity predictors for heavy rain in the Midwest, which should help farmers and businesses adapt to increasingly volatile weather conditions.
To further bolster its agronomic and technology expertise, Salient also announced the addition of three new employees to its team, Janet Lee, Anthony Atlas and Karl Critz.
Lee joins Salient as Chief Product Officer, with a 25-plus year track record of building award-winning technology products for companies that include FirstFuel, Oracle and Lattice Engines. Atlas is Salient's new Head of Agriculture and Supply Chain, offering substantial experience in climatetech and agtech startups, most recently at ClimateAI and Ceres Imaging. Finally, Critz joins Salient as Chief Technology Officer and brings extensive experience in renewable energy and cleantech as an engineer, consultant and executive leader who, most recently, served as the Chief Technology Officer for REsurety, Inc.
"The addition of Janet, Anthony and Karl reflects the significant momentum we're experiencing here at Salient, following the closure of our $5.4M seed round in May," said Stein. "I couldn't be more excited about Salient's future. Having these three talented individuals on our team will make a huge impact on the work we do for all of our clients."
Salient combines novel ocean and land-surface data with machine learning and climate expertise to deliver the world's most accurate subseasonal-to-seasonal weather forecasts and industry insights—2 to 52 weeks in advance. Bringing together world-leading experts in physical oceanography, climatology and the global water cycle, machine learning, and industry, Salient helps enterprise clients improve resiliency, increase preparedness, and make better decisions in the face of a rapidly changing climate.

General Motors dealerships have repaired thousands of Tesla electric cars, GM claimed in its annual investor day presentation.
First spotted by Barron’s, a slide in the presentation simply reads “11,180 repairs on Teslas” without elaboration.
Tesla in the past has made it difficult for third parties to repair its vehicles, but its grip is being loosened by right to repair legislation.
Right to repair bills aim to allow access to detailed repair instructions and some software to enable more independent shops to work on EVs. The Biden administration has stood behind this as a positive for EVs overall, but it’s likely to have a particularly big impact on Tesla repairs.
Tesla has previously hobbled cars that get major rebuilds—or things like battery transplants—at anywhere but its service centers, limiting their charging rates at Superchargers, for instance. It did however recently start inspecting “salvaged” EVs to re-enable features.
Without right to repair laws, even owners of cars that don’t need heavy repairs could be out of luck depending on the willingness of the company to continue supporting older models. Owners of the original Tesla Roadster had to resort to some workarounds with private shops before Tesla started supporting them once again.
Now it seems some of the same protections being put in place for independent repair shops could also benefit GM—one of the world’s largest automakers—and its dealer network.
That dealer network is currently undergoing its own transition to an EV-heavy future. GM has looked to its dealerships to deploy destination chargers in communities, and it’s asking dealerships to install chargers and make other changes to prepare for more EV sales. The automaker has offered buyouts to Cadillac and Buick dealers who don’t want to go along with this plan, although hasn’t offered them to its Chevy dealers.
Green Car Reports has reached out to GM for comment on this story and will update it should the automaker provide more detail.

Braun backs gender transition bill, criticizes lack of national budget
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Sen. Mike Braun on Thursday said he saw no disconnect between Republicans’ broader embrace of parents’ rights and Indiana’s new ban gender transition procedures for minors.
In a wide-ranging interview with News 8, the Indiana Republican praised Gov. Eric Holcomb’s decision to sign the ban, which prohibits hormone therapy, puberty blockers and surgery for gender transition purposes for anyone under 18. It already faces a federal class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of four transgender minors and their parents.
Republicans in Indiana and nationwide have embraced bans on teaching LGBTQ+ topics or critical race theory in schools and efforts to remove books on such topics under the guise of parents’ rights. When asked whether the gender transition treatment ban goes against that philosophy, Braun replied, “When there isn’t a complicating factor in terms of what that particular choice would do, especially when it would be in that category of, if you do take the wrong pathway, you cannot reverse it, I think it’s got different characteristics to it.”
Braun said House Republicans have not given him any details about what might be in their plan for the budget. He said he’s frustrated by the opaque budget-writing process in Congress, contrasting it with the marathon public budget hearings that typically mark the process in the Indiana General Assembly.
“The people running the show (in Congress) don’t want to do budgets,” he said. “When I was on Ways and Means here in our own Statehouse, we brought in all the stakeholders, all the agency heads. Justify why you need more. None of that is done. It’s all cooked up by a few of the leaders.”
A new study has found deaths at the scene from firearm injuries have risen over the past 20 years and attributed this trend to growing use of rifles such as the military-style rifles favored by mass shooters. The study came weeks after the latest mass shooting in the United States, this time at a private Christian school in Nashville. Braun noted Tennessee’s lack of a red flag law and said a law like Indiana’s would have prevented the shooter from accessing the firearms they used to carry out the attack. When News 8 asked if a federal red flag law is needed, Braun replied the issue is best left up to the states.
Braun was among more than a dozen Republicans who voted with Democrats to repeal the 1991 and 2003 authorizations for use of military force against Iraq, a resolution co-sponsored by Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana. Braun said Congress needs to exercise much stricter oversight for future military operations. He said he would be open to putting sunset provisions in future AUMFs.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — More than 500 river miles have been designated critical habitat for a threatened fish species once found in Louisiana and Mississippi but now known only in part of its historic Mississippi range.
The Center for Biological Diversity and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Wednesday that the habitat designation affects the Pearl darter, a 2½-inch-long (6-centimeter-long) fish named for the Pearl River, but which is no longer found there or in any of its tributaries. Instead, remaining populations are found along the Pascagoula River system in southeast Mississippi — about 43% of the fish’s historic range.
The species has been gutted in Mississippi and Louisiana because of oil and gas developments, dams, mining, urbanization and agriculture. The critical habitat designation includes a section in the Pearl River basin where the fish can be reintroduced and other areas across 13 Mississippi counties in the Pearl River and Pascagoula River basins.
“Protecting what’s left of their habitat gives Pearl darters a fighting chance,” Will Harlan, Southeast director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a news release. “Dams and pollution have hammered these tiny fish, but they’re still clinging to survival in these key rivers.”
The recent designation adds an additional layer of protection, requiring any federally funded or permitted project to consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure the Pearl darter’s habitat is not harmed by a proposed activity, the Tucson, Arizona-based nonprofit said.
At least two other threatened species — the Gulf sturgeon and yellow blotched map turtle — also occupy the Pearl darter’s designated critical habitat and will benefit from the protections. Harlan said a number of other aquatic animals will also benefit, including mussels and crayfish.
The Pearl darter is a small, snub-nosed fish with a black spot at the base of its tail fin. Darters live on river bottoms and use the spaces between rocks for hiding and breeding.
After mating, female Pearl darters bury eggs in gravelly river substrate. Habitat destruction has clogged river bottoms with silt that inhibits the survival of adult Pearl darters and their offspring.
The darter was first placed on the waiting list for federal protection in 1991. The Center first petitioned for the species’ protection in 2004 and in 2010 filed a lawsuit over delays. The fish finally gained protection as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2017.

Proceeds will accelerate a robust R&D pipeline, commercial partnerships and clinical activities led by leading institutional and strategic investors
CLEVELAND, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerline Biomedical, Inc. (Centerline), a private medical technology company, announced the closing of a $33 million Series B equity financing led by Cleveland Clinic with participation by GE Healthcare, RIK Enterprises, JobsOhio, Jumpstart Ventures and G2 Group Ventures. This funding will help propel the company into new surgical applications, accelerate its commercial sales and add to its growing clinical evidence repository.
Centerline Biomedical's system improves visualization and guidance in endovascular procedures while reducing dependence on radiation and contrast agents with the goal of improving patient outcomes, as well as overall efficiency for clinicians. Its flagship product, IOPS® (Intra-Operative Positioning System) was developed in Cleveland Clinic's Heart and Vascular Institute and utilizes patented algorithms to generate a patient-specific vascular map combined with electromagnetic tracking and smart sensor-equipped surgical devices to provide real-time, 3-D color visualization and navigation of the human vascular system.
IOPS® is FDA 510(k) cleared and currently launching in the US at select sites. Expansion to Europe and other key markets will occur in 2023. This platform technology drives an active R&D pipeline, supported by four NIH (National Institute of Health) grants to date, and backed by a world-class scientific advisory board, with foundational programs to both expand and extend the capabilities in the vascular space and enter the structural heart space.
"We are excited about the potential for IOPS® solution to transform the imaging framework to improve safety, quality and cost of minimally-invasive vascular procedures while reducing radiation exposure of caregivers and patients during critical life-saving procedures" said Todd Schwarzinger, GM Cleveland Clinic Innovations. He also noted that Centerline is a success story for Northeast Ohio. "This technology, which was invented at Cleveland Clinic, represents another example of our region's success in supporting early-stage innovation within the MedTech startup space."
"The opportunity to invest in innovative technology like Centerline Biomedical's IOPS® solution aligns with GE Healthcare's mission of delivering more precise and efficient care. As the number of minimally invasive procedures for complex interventions increases, so does the need for advanced technology to enable clinicians to make faster, more precise and informed decisions to improve patient care. We look forward to working with Centerline Biomedical as well as clinicians to explore the possibilities of this technology, as well as how this can complement our imaging and guiding systems," said Arnaud Marie, General Manager for Global Interventional at GE Healthcare.
"Our technology is already yielding excellent clinical benefits and this funding will help realize our mission of improving the outcomes, radiation safety and accuracy in endovascular surgery," said Philip D. Rackliffe, CEO. "Successfully raising this capital given the challenging global environment is a resounding testament to this technology and incredible team at Centerline".
Founded in 2014, Centerline Biomedical is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The company's FDA-cleared technology platform enables dramatically improved visualization and guidance in endovascular procedures. Centerline is backed by Cleveland Clinic, GE Healthcare, RIK Enterprises, JobsOhio, Jumpstart Ventures and G2 Group Ventures. Visit www.centerlinebiomedical.com for more information.

BELFAST — Bob and Marsha Siviski, who moved to Belfast in 2019, have more than 70 years of gardening experience between them. Their considerable expertise will be on view Saturday, July 8, when the Belfast Garden Club features the couple’s in-town garden as part of its summer event series, Open Garden Days.
The Siviskis’ garden at 71 Cedar Street in Belfast will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is $5. It is the third of nine private gardens the club is showcasing this summer on Saturdays through Aug. 19.
When Bob Siviski retired as a clinical and school psychologist in southern Maine in 2019, he and his wife, Marsha, a speech-language pathologist, began looking for a new home in a place with a sense of community. That turned out to be Belfast. In their first year, the newcomers renovated the interior of their home, in the second they tackled the garden.
“Bob began with moving stone walls, recovering a trove of buried stone, and ultimately he elevated an historic well stone to create a walled backyard patio and entertainment area,” says Marsha Siviski, who retired in 2021.
Highlights of the Siviskis’ redeveloped landscape include shade gardens dominated by oak and Japanese lilac trees, pollinating plants, several varieties of foxgloves, and everbearing and summer-bearing raspberries.
“A raised-bed vegetable garden in the rear of the property will give visitors ample opportunity to explore vertical gardening with the creative use of birdcages and other repurposed items,” Siviski says.
For 30 years in Falmouth, the Siviskis had tended extensive perennial and vegetable gardens on a four-acre farm. Their urban garden is small by comparison, but no less interesting. “The third year of the garden is typically a delight,” Siviski says.
For more on the Open Garden Days schedule, visit belfastgardenclub.org. A season pass may be purchased for $35. Proceeds support the garden club’s school programs, camp scholarships, library donations, and Belfast’s public gardens.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Takuma Sato shot to the top of the speed chart late Tuesday on the first day of preparations for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
Sato went 228.939 mph (368.44 kph) around Indianapolis Motor Speedway to bump six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon as fastest on opening day. Dixon's lap of 227.768 mph had topped the scoring pylon for several hours until Sato's big run in a Dale Coyne Racing entry.
Jimmie Johnson was third fastest followed by teammate Marcus Ericsson. Chip Ganassi Racing drivers were second, third, fourth and sixth fastest (reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou).
It was a strong day for Honda, which has been beaten by Chevrolet in four of five races so far this IndyCar season. Honda scored its first win of the season Saturday with Colton Herta on the road course at Indy.
Ten Honda drivers cracked the top 12 on Tuesday. The fastest Chevy driver was Rinus VeeKay of Ed Carpenter Racing in fourth. VeeKay was the fastest driver without a tow at 221.552 mph.
FIRST DAY SURPRISES
There are seven rookies in the 33-driver field and several impressed Tuesday.
David Malukas, the 20-year-old teammate to Sato at Coyne, was seventh fastest. Devlin DeFrancesco was 11th as the Andretti Autosport driver attempts to prove to his competitors he's settled down since a rocky race at Texas Motor Speedway in March. DeFrancesco was part of three incidents and penalized by IndyCar for his role in a three-car crash.
Not rookies but still strong in their first true competition of the season were 2013 winner Tony Kanaan in ninth, 2020 pole winner Marco Andretti in 10th and JR Hildebrand, who nearly won the race as a rookie in 2011, was 14th. None has raced an IndyCar event yet this season.
OFF THE TRACK
Indianapolis native Conor Daly settled into his home at the speedway by bringing an inflatable hot tub to the driver motorhome lot. Daly had been providing content from the hot tub since he set it up ahead of last weekend's road course race and was looking forward to two weeks of entertaining.
When Daly returned to his motorhome Tuesday, he discovered the hot tub had been tampered with and deemed it “no longer usable. At least for a long time.”
“I would like to announce that my hot tub has been bamboozled,” Daly posted on Twitter.
He'd removed the lid and discovered someone had filled the tub with Orbeez, which are superabsorbent polymers that resemble jellybeans and grow to 100 times their original size when submerged in water. The motorhome lot is notorious for pranks during the month at IMS and Daly was on the hunt for the perpetrator.

After a lifetime of preparation, Charles takes the throne
LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles has been preparing to be king his entire life. Now his moment has arrived. Following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles is now the oldest person to take the British throne. No date has been set for the coronation of King Charles III. But Charles faces the enormous challenge of building the same sort of affection that characterized the relationship between his mother and the British public. Will Charles be loved by his subjects, like his mother was? It’s a question that has overshadowed his entire life.
Live updates: Queen Elizabeth II dies, Charles becomes king
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, whose 50-year reign is now Europe’s longest, called Britain’s late Queen Elizabeth II “a towering figure among European monarchs and a great inspiration to us all.” Elizabeth died Thursday at 96 after 70 years on the British throne. Margrethe said, “We shall miss her terribly." Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf said the British monarch had “an outstanding devotion and sense of duty” and Norway’s King Harald said Elizabeth “accompanied the British people through joys and sorrows.”

Queen Elizabeth II, a monarch bound by duty, dies at 96
LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, has died at 96. Elizabeth spent seven decades on the throne — since Feb. 6, 1952 — as the U.K. rebuilt from war, lost an empire, transformed its economy and both entered and left the European Union. Upon the queen’s death, her 73-year-old son Charles automatically became monarch. He will be known as King Charles III, even though his coronation might not happen for months. Elizabeth was a constant presence, the only monarch most Britons have ever known. Her image, which adorned stamps, coins and bank notes, was among the most reproduced in the world. But her inner life and opinions remained largely an enigma.
'A constant in my life': World mourns Queen Elizabeth II
LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II was much more than Britain’s monarch. She was sovereign to another 14 nations and a rare figure who was almost universally admired through hemispheres, generations, social divisions and politics. Tributes to her came from other monarchs, leaders, dignitaries and rock stars. Even in places where the relationship with British monarchy is complicated, the tributes flowed. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Elizabeth “personified dignity and decency in public life.” Caribbean leaders from Jamaica to Bermuda and beyond mourned her death, which occurred as several British territories in the Caribbean seek to replace the monarch with their own heads of state amid demands that Britain apologize for colonial-era abuses and award reparations.
Biden is 13th and final US president to meet Queen Elizabeth
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden has the distinction of being the 13th and final American president to meet with Queen Elizabeth II. Biden first met the queen in 1982. He was a U.S. senator and visiting the United Kingdom with a congressional delegation. Their third and final meeting happened in 2021. Biden, as president, was in southwestern England for a summit of world leaders. He and his wife, Jill, later had a private audience with the queen at Windsor Castle near London. The queen had met every U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower, except Lyndon Johnson, since ascending to the throne in 1952. Johnson did not visit Britain when he was president.
Biden to tell Ohioans his policies will revive manufacturing
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden wants to put the spotlight on a rare bipartisan down payment on U.S. manufacturing. He visits Ohio on Friday for the groundbreaking of a new Intel computer chip facility. Biden heads to suburban Columbus just as voters in the state are starting to tune in to a closely contested Senate race between Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican author and venture capital executive JD Vance. They’re competing in a former swing state that has trended Republican over the last decade. Intel had delayed groundbreaking on the $20 billion plant until Congress passed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act.
UN chief appeals to world to help badly flood-hit Pakistan
ISLAMABAD (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is appealing to the world to help Pakistan after arriving in the country to see deadly flood damage. The record floods have killed hundreds and left more than half a million people homeless and living in tents under the open sky. His trip comes less than two weeks after Guterres appealed for $160 million in emergency funding to help those affected by the floods that have caused at least $10 billion in damages and 1,391 deaths. He posted on Twitter before dawn that he had arrived to “express my deep solidarity with the Pakistani people after the devastating floods.” Last week, he sternly warned that the world should “stop sleepwalking toward the destruction of our planet by climate change.”
N. Korea says it will never give up nukes to counter US
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is stressing his country will never abandon the nuclear weapons and missiles it needs to counter hostilities from the United States. He accuses the U.S. of pushing a pressure campaign aimed at weakening the North’s defenses and eventually collapsing his government. State media said Friday that North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament also passed a law that requires North Korea’s military to “automatically” execute nuclear strikes against enemy forces if its leadership comes under attack. Kim also addressed domestic issues in his speech, saying North Korea would begin its long-delayed rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in November. He didn’t give specifics.
Slain Las Vegas reporter spent career chasing corruption
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Investigative reporter Jeff German took on the powerful in four decades of writing about the Las Vegas underworld and government corruption. But police say it was one of his latest targets, a county administrator, who fatally stabbed German last weekend. The killing came months after German had written about bullying, favoritism and an inappropriate relationship within an obscure public office. Authorities said Thursday that DNA at the crime scene linked Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles to the killing. Police arrested him Wednesday after a brief standoff at his home. Telles was the focus of German’s reporting in the Las Vegas Review-Journal as he sought reelection.
Swiatek, Jabeur will meet in 1st US Open final for both
NEW YORK (AP) — Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur will face each other in the U.S. Open women's final. Tunisia's Jabeur reached her second consecutive Grand Slam title match by beating Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-3 at Flushing Meadows on Thursday night. The No. 5-seeded Jabeur was the runner-up at Wimbledon in July. She took full advantage of a shaky performance by first-time major semifinalist Garcia. The No. 1-ranked Swiatek grabbed the last four games to eliminate No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the other semifinal. Poland's Swiatek already owns two trophies from the French Open’s red clay but never had been past the fourth round on New York’s hard courts.

Updated January 11, 2023 at 12:41 PM ET
Thousands of flights are delayed or cancelled after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide pause on domestic flight departures on Wednesday.
The FAA's system for alerting pilots and airports of real-time hazards, called NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions), went dark around 3:28 a.m. ET, sparking safety concerns.
As of noon E.T. more 6,988 flights into, within or out of the country had been delayed, and just over 1,100 have been canceled altogether, according to data from the tracking site FlightAware.
A total of 21,464 flights were scheduled to depart U.S. airports on Wednesday with a carrying capacity of nearly 2.9 million passengers, Reuters reported, citing data from aviation analytics company Ciricum.
The FAA had opened a hotline to address equipment issues by 5:58 a.m. ET, as some NOTAM functions began to come back on line. By 9 a.m. ET, the system had been fully restored and flights began to resume.
FAA has determined that the safety system affected by the overnight outage is fully restored, and the nationwide ground stop will be lifted effective immediately. I have directed an after-action process to determine root causes and recommend next steps.
— Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) January 11, 2023
The FAA defines a NOTAM as "a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means."
Pilots might receive NOTAMs about closed runways, large flocks of birds, a plume of volcanic ash, ice on a runway, or lights on tall buildings and towers.
Officials pledge to investigate the incident
Speaking to reporters during the flight pause, President Biden said he expected to know more on the cause of the outage in a few hours.
"They don't know what the cause is," Biden said. "I told [Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg] to report directly to me when they find out."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted there was "no evidence" of a cyber attack.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., attacked the nationwide disruption as "completely unacceptable" and "the latest example of dysfunction within the Department of Transportation."
He also alluded to possible congressional action, saying "the administration needs to explain to Congress what happened" and that congress should "enact reforms in this year's FAA reauthorization."
FAA has been operating without a permanent leader
The national aviation agency has been acting without a permanent head since March, when a Trump appointee, Stephen Dickson, stepped down halfway through his five-year term.
President Biden's nominee to lead the FAA, Phillip A. Washington, has yet to receive a Senate confirmation hearing. The CEO of Denver International Airport, Washington has a limited resume in aviation but was noticed for helping to steer the Denver Airport's pandemic recovery, according to the Associated Press.
Biden renominated Washington for the role as the new Congress was established last week. In the interim, the FAA is being led by the agency's top safety official, Billy Nolen.
It was just a few weeks ago that the FAA was responding to another barrage of flight delays and cancellations, caused at first by a string of brutal winter storms during the busiest holiday travel season but then by a logistical nightmare at Southwest Airlines.
Citing staffing shortages and an outdated computer system, the company canceled 16,700 flights over a 10-day period, leaving passengers, airline staff and mounds of baggage in limbo.
Wednesday's ground stop came amidst a slower midweek travel period. Data from the Transportation Security Administration shows 1.6 million people went through airport security checkpoints Wednesday, down from 2.4 million on Dec. 29.
Nationwide flight halts are relatively rare
It may have even been the first time the FAA grounded all U.S. flights since 9/11, according to unconfirmed comments including from Republican Rep. Byron Donalds.
There's been at least one other notable nationwide halt, though that one wasn't for safety reasons: A strike by thousands of air traffic controllers in August 1981 temporarily grounded about 35% of the nation's 14,200 daily commercial flights, per the FAA.
Sept. 11, 2001, was the first time in U.S. aviation history that the FAA put a ground stop on all traffic, which it says it did to prevent any further hijackings. First, just after 9 a.m. ET, it issued a ground stop to all traffic that would encounter New York airspace but hadn't yet departed. Within an hour it had closed all U.S. airspace.
That halt lasted for more than a few hours, or even a full day — it wasn't until 11 a.m. ET on Sept. 13 that national airspace reopened to U.S. air carriers, provided airports had implemented new security measures.

LONDON -- India's Tata Sons plans to build a $5.2 billion electric car battery factory in the United Kingdom, the conglomerate said Wednesday. The plant is expected to become one of Europe's largest battery cell manufacturing sites when it begins production in 2026.
Britain's government said the new factory, the largest investment in the U.K. automotive industry in decades, will create 4,000 jobs directly and thousands more in supply chains.
The plant is expected to produce about 40 gigawatt hours of battery cells every year, enough to provide half the U.K.'s electric vehicle batteries, Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps said.
"Our multibillion-pound investment will bring state-of-the-art technology to the country, helping to power the automotive sector's transition to electric mobility, anchored by our own business, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover)," Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said.
The new plant will supply batteries to other brands as well as JLR.
Britain's government reportedly offered substantial financial subsidies to attract the industrial giant to invest in the country, but officials declined to comment, saying it was commercially sensitive information.
Carmaker Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall, Peugeot and other European car brands, warned in May that it would struggle to make electric cars in the United Kingdom because of the changes to trading relations under the Brexit deal.
The carmaker wrote to Parliament that it would face 10% tariffs when exporting electric vehicles to Europe, and said it was vital to "reinforce the competitiveness of the U.K. by establishing battery production."

CHICAGO, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitgo's appearance proves that global solutions are key to success in the competitive, fast-growing performance marketing sector.
Between May 9-10, more than 70,000 visitors packed into Hamburg Messe for this year's OMR festival. The two-day event offered the marketing and digital scene more than 800 speakers on seven stages, alongside them tennis player-turned-investor Serena Williams and beauty brand owner and the German "Shark Tank" jury member Judith Williams.
Mitgo was a Premium Exhibitor alongside 1000+ tech and marketing companies, including Meta, Google, Twitch and Pinterest. A big event for the company, not only because representatives of Mitgo businesses Admitad, Takeads, Tapfiliate, FairSavings and ConvertSocial came together to share insights into partnership marketing, but also because it was the first time Mitgo's businesses stood united under one banner.
Many new and important business connections were made and, crucially, we were able to deepen existing partnerships, showcasing the wider scope of opportunities enabled by cross-platform cooperation between our whole family of businesses.
Popular themes discussed revolved around global scalability, the rise of native and contextual advertising, privacy-first services and data-driven solutions in a cookieless world.
"We're in the middle of a major market shift in the performance marketing sector" says CEO and Mitgo founder, Alexander Bachmann, "there is more worldwide demand for cross-business, cross-channel partnership solutions."
While OMR is mainly Germany-focussed, Mitgo was able to demonstrate its truly global presence. As well as Europe and its key markets (Poland), our first-hand experience in India, the US and MENA was eagerly listened to, leading to a number of deals sealed on a global level.
"OMR is an ideal location for new ideas and trends in the digital world, where Mitgo has a place as a truly global, partnership-driven player" - Artem Ozekov, VP of Partnership Sevices at Mitgo.
The festival proved a success, with Mitgo welcoming more than 500 visitors to their stand, many of whom were top players in the digital sphere.
As a result, the company looks forward to securing many new partnerships in the Fintech, Martech and social commerce sectors, sectors we believe will see major growth in the very near future.
"Our focus remains on creating cross-partnership solutions and services with scalability at their heart" confirms CEO Alexander Bachmann.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana board is set to hear allegations Thursday that an Indianapolis doctor should face disciplinary action after she spoke publicly about providing an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from neighboring Ohio.
The Medical Licensing Board’s hearing comes after Indiana’s Republican attorney general accused Dr. Caitlin Bernard of violating state law by not reporting the girl’s child abuse to Indiana authorities. She’s also accused of breaking federal patient privacy laws by telling a newspaper reporter about the girl’s treatment.
Bernard and her attorneys maintain that the doctor followed Indiana’s child abuse reporting requirements as the girl’s rape was already being investigated by Ohio authorities. Bernard’s lawyers also say she didn’t release any identifying information about the girl that would break privacy laws.
The Indianapolis Star cited the girl’s case in a July 1 article that sparked a national political uproar in the weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last June, putting into effect an Ohio law that prohibited abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Some news outlets and Republican politicians falsely suggested Bernard fabricated the story until a 27-year-old man was charged with the rape in Columbus, Ohio.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita’s complaint asked the licensing board to impose “appropriate disciplinary action” but doesn’t specify a requested penalty.
The Indiana board — made up of six doctors and one attorney appointed by Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb — could vote whether to impose any penalties Thursday after hearing what is expected to be several hours of testimony. State law gives the board wide latitude, allowing it to issue reprimand letters or suspend, revoke or place on probation a doctor’s license.
Amid the wave of attention to the girl’s case last summer, Rokita, who is stridently anti-abortion, told Fox News he would investigate Bernard’s actions, calling her an “abortion activist acting as a doctor.”
“This case is about two things – and two things only – patient privacy and this doctor’s failure to protect this child,” he said in a statement this week.
Ohio’s law imposing a near-ban on abortion was in effect for about two months before being put on hold as a lawsuit against it plays out.
Bernard unsuccessfully tried to block Rokita’s investigation last fall, although an Indianapolis judge wrote that Rokita made “clearly unlawful breaches” of state confidentiality laws with his public comments about investigating the doctor before filing the medical licensing complaint against her.
Bernard lawyer Kathleen DeLaney has called the complaint against the doctor “baseless attacks” done at taxpayer expense.
“Rokita’s actions set a dangerous precedent imperiling the provision of lawful patient care,” DeLaney has said.

MEXICO CITYit (AP) — Tropical Storm Blas, the second named storm of the eastern Pacific season, was forecast to become a hurricane Wednesday off southern Mexico, though it wasn't expected to pose a threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that after reaching hurricane force, Blas would likely begin weakening later in the week as it moved out into the open ocean.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) Tuesday night. It was centered about 290 miles (465 kilometers) south-southeast of the Mexican port of Manzanillo and moving north at 5 mph (7 kph).
The hurricane center said that even though the storm wasn't forecast to make landfall, it could still cause dangerous surf conditions along the coast.
The Pacific season's first named storm, Hurricane Agatha, came ashore near Puerto Angel in Oaxaca state on May 30 with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 kph). Authorities said flooding and mudslides caused by Agatha's heavy rains killed at least nine people, with five others missing and suspected to be dead.

A spokesperson for Dave Chappelle on Wednesday said the "unfortunate and unsettling" on-stage attack will not deter the comedian from celebrating the moment.
Late Tuesday night, a man rushed the stage and tackled Chappelle during his act as part of the "Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival" in Los Angeles, California.
"The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record-breaking and he refuses to allow last night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment," the spokesperson told NBC News in a statement.
According to NBC Los Angeles, the attacker — who has been identified as 23-year-old Isaiah Lee — was detained by security and transported to the hospital with superficial injuries, and Chappelle was not injured during the attack.
Dave Chappelle Coverage:
"As unfortunate and unsettling as the incident was, Chappelle went on with the show," the spokesperson added.
The suspect who tackled Chappelle was armed with a replica gun, which looks like a gun, but is actually a knife, according to officials. His previous Netflix special "The Closer" received backlash for jokes made about the transgender community, but the motive for the Tuesday attack is not yet known.

Singer R. Kelly has been denied a new federal trial in Chicago
Singer and convicted sex offender R. Kelly has been denied all motions for acquittal and a new federal trial, Chicago Federal Judge Harry Leinenweber ruled on Thursday.
Kelly, 56, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 on nine counts that included “sexual exploitation of children” and “transportation of women and girls in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity.” He was convicted of three child pornography charges and three counts of child enticement in Chicago last year.
The disgraced singer’s attorneys filed the motion for a new trial on Feb. 4, stating that the main witness in the trial misled jurors when she said she was undecided on whether she would be seeking monetary damages from the case. The motion was denied less than two weeks later.
The anonymous star witness, known only as “Jane,” testified that Kelly began sexually abusing her when she was just 14 years old, even filming their encounters.
“Simply because Jane and her attorney considered the possibility of restitution does not mean she lied during her testimony,” wrote Leinenweber. “Jane’s testimony was that she was undecided. Her testimony was not that she was not intending to pursue restitution.”
Kelly’s Feb. 23 sentencing will proceed as scheduled over the September 2002 convictions of child pornography and sexual enticement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five mischievous boys had to be rescued after they crawled through a storm drain tunnel in New York City and got lost, authorities said.
In audio released by the fire department, 911 dispatchers work to pinpoint the boys’ exact location and then tell them to scream once rescuers are close enough to hear.
“Now you can scream as loud as you can,” a dispatcher says. “They want you to scream and yell.”
The five boys, aged 11 and 12, crawled into a storm drain on Staten Island at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, fire department officials said at a news conference Wednesday.
The boys walked about a quarter mile and then called 911 when they couldn’t find their way back, officials said.
“We’re stuck in the sewer,” one of the boys says on the recording. “You’re stuck where?” a dispatcher responds.
A second dispatcher says he is familiar with the area and tries to determine exactly where the boys are. “Once you went down, was the sewer left, right, straight — where was it?” the dispatcher asks. “I need you to guide me.”
When sirens can be heard, the dispatcher tells the boys to scream. At first the boys fear that the rescuers aren’t stopping.
“It sounded like they went past us,” one boy says.
The dispatcher assures the boys, “They’re not going anywhere, we’re going to get you out of there.”
Soon an emergency responder can be heard saying “We might have hands on the kids right now,” and then, “We have all five children removed from the sewer.”
Firefighters said the boys were in the tunnel for about an hour. The boys and one firefighter were taken to a hospital for evaluation, but none had significant injuries, officials said.
“Amazing that the cellphone worked in the tunnel,” FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens told reporters. “That was a key component of us finding them.”

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday asked for prayers to accompany him on what he called his “penitential” pilgrimage to Canada to apologize to Indigenous groups for abuses inflicted by the Catholic church.
Greeting the public in St. Peter’s Square, Francis noted that on July 24, “God willing,” he will begin a seven-day trip to Canada.
“Dear brothers and sisters of Canada, as you know I will come among you above all in the name of Jesus to meet and embrace the Indigenous populations,” Francis said.
“Unfortunately, in Canada, many Christians, including some members of religious institutions, contributed to the policies of cultural assimilation, that, in the past, gravely damaged, in various ways, the Native communities,” the pope said, speaking from a studio window of the Apostolic Palace facing the square.
“For this reason, recently, at the Vatican, I received several groups, representatives of Indigenous peoples, to whom I manifested by sorrow and my solidarity for the evil they have suffered,” Francis said.
“And now I will make a penitential voyage that I hope, with the grace of God, can contribute to the path of healing and reconciliation already undertaken,” said Francis, appealing for the faithful to “accompany me with prayers” during the pilgrimage.
When he met with Indigenous representatives in early spring, the pontiff offered an historic apology for the abuses inflicted at church-run residential schools. Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission called for him to deliver a papal apology on Canadian soil.
More than 150,000 native children in Canada were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools from the 19th century until the 1970s in an effort to isolate them from their homes and culture. The aim was to Christianize and assimilate them into mainstream society, which previous Canadian governments considered superior.
The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse was rampant at the schools, and that students were beaten for speaking their native languages. Indigenous leaders say the legacy of abuse and family separation was a root cause of the epidemic rates of alcohol and drug addiction on Canadian reservations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tage Thompson finished off a hat trick by scoring in overtime, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Washington Capitals 5-4 on Tuesday night for their seventh victory in eight games.
Thompson also set up Alex Tuch for his 18th goal with a spinning pass off the rush and was the recipient of a great pass on his second of the game. He took advantage of a Capitals turnover to score three minutes into OT for his fourth career hat trick.
Even after Washington’s Alex Ovechkin had two goals, only Connor McDavid has scored more this season than Thompson, who also moved into third in the NHL in points with 55.
Tyson Jost also scored in the third period to tie it for the the Sabres, who have caught fire in recent weeks, including a six-game winning streak that ended Sunday. During that stretch, they had two games postponed because of the deadly blizzard that killed at least 40 and with hockey one of the furthest things from their minds.
Players wore “Love for 3” T-shirts into the arena in honor of Damar Hamlin, the Bills safety who wears that number and who remained hospitalized in Cincinnati after going into cardiac during Buffalo’s NFL game Monday night against the Bengals. Signs bearing Hamlin’s name and the Bills logo lined the glass during warmups, and the Sabres said neither players nor coach Don Granato would speak to reporters Tuesday because they were still processing Hamlin’s situation.
The Sabres and Bills share the same owners, Terry and Kim Pegula, and consider themselves part of the same organization. Although this was a Buffalo road game, the Capitals paid tribute to Hamlin with a moment of support before the national anthem.
When the puck dropped, a matchup of two of hockey’s hottest teams tilted slightly in Buffalo’s favor. Beyond the top line of Jeff Skinner, Thompson and Tuch producing, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 28 saves to hand Washington just its third loss in 14 games.
Luukkonen did become the 167th NHL goaltender Ovechkin has scored on. Ovechkin beat Luukkonen twice to reach 28 goals this season and 808 in his career, 96 back of Wayne Gretzky’s record.
Sonny Milano and Nic Dowd also scored for the Capitals, who got winger T.J. Oshie back from a six-game absence because of an upper-body injury. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper allowed five goals on 29 shots.

Sabres: Host the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.
Capitals: Visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.

(NEXSTAR) – Starbucks might be taking its bathrooms private again.
The coffee chain, which opened its café bathrooms to the non-purchasing public after a high-profile incident in 2018, could soon be walking back its restroom policy in order to maintain a “safe environment” for patrons and staff, CEO Howard Schultz said.
Schultz hinted at the policy change Thursday, in an interview at The New York Times’ DealBook D.C. policy forum.
“There is an issue of just safety in our stores, in terms of people coming in, who use our stores as a public bathroom, and we have to provide a … safe environment for our people and our customers,” Schultz said during a conversation with The Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin.
Schultz broached the topic during a discussion regarding mental health, which he claimed to be the “No. 1 issues” that Starbucks is dealing with “as a company.”
“[The] mental health crisis in this country is severe, acute and getting worse,” Schultz said.
When asked by Ross Sorkin how the company plans to “deal” with the issue, Schultz responded by saying Starbucks needs to train its employees and “harden” its stores.
“I don’t know if we can keep our bathrooms open,” he said.
Starbucks had previously announced its open-bathroom policy in the wake of a 2018 incident at a Philadelphia location, where two Black men were arrested while waiting to meet with a business acquaintance in the store. One of the men had previously asked to use the restroom but was denied, the Associated Press reported at the time.
Starbucks previously had no fixed policy on bathroom access, Schultz said in the wake of the arrests, and decisions were ultimately up to individual stores.
After the incident, Schultz himself said Starbucks bathrooms would be open to all, as would the café areas, regardless of whether someone makes a purchase or not.
“We don’t want to become a public bathroom,” said Schultz, “but we’re going to make the right decision a hundred percent of the time and give people the key.”
Starbucks also included the directive in its “third place” policy, which aimed to position its cafes as welcoming spaces for the public, so long as visitors use the spaces lawfully and respectfully.
On Thursday, however, Schultz appeared to express uncertainty that Starbucks would be able to provide safe spaces for the public, especially during what he feels is a worsening mental-health crisis in the country.
“Again, Starbucks is trying to solve a problem and face a problem that is the government’s responsibility,” Schultz said. “And when I think about the issues that we, our business is facing and the challenge that our people are facing, almost every, every question you ask is a question about what the government’s responsibility is, and what I realize more and more, the government is no longer gonna solve any of these problems.”

ATLANTA, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quinn Residences ("Quinn"), a leading Atlanta-based owner and operator of newly built, single-family rental communities today announces the acquisition of five properties in the Southeast, adding 820 high-quality homes to its portfolio.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oricell Therapeutics Co., Ltd (Oricell), an innovative pharmaceutical company committed to the development of clinical-stage oncology cell therapies, today announced publication of data from a clinical study evaluating the efficacy of OriCAR-017, an autologous GPRC5D-directed CAR-T cell therapy, in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in an article entitled "Phase 1 Open-Label Single-Centre Single Arm Study of GPRC5D CAR T Cells(OriCAR-017) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (POLARIS)" in The Lancet Haematology (2022 impact factor: 30.153).
The POLARIS study, the first-in-human study of OriCAR-017, explores the safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy for a single intravenous infusion of OriCAR-017 in patients with RRMM (NCT05016778). As of June 30, 2022, the study had showed exciting clinical results for OriCAR-017 in the treatment of 10 patients with RRMM:
- Median follow-up time: 238 days (range: 99-345 days)
- Safety: Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), serious adverse events (SAEs), neurotoxicity and deaths were not observed. The common treatment-emergent AEs were Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities, including neutropenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was observed in all patients (9 patients in G1 and one patient in G2).
- Preliminary clinical efficacy: the study revealed an impressive 100% overall response rate, with 60% stringent complete response and 40% very good partial response. All patients (100%) achieved MRD negative (10-5/ml). Additionally, of the 5 patients who relapsed after BCMA CAR T-cell therapy, 2 achieved stringent complete response and 3 achieved very good partial response. At the date cut-off time, the mPFS (median progression-free survival) has not yet been reached; for the 2 patients who had disease progression, one with GPRC5D-positive while the other one with GPRC5D-negative.
"Advances in the treatment of R/RMM, including the introduction of immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies as well as stem cell transplantation, have prolonged survival in R/RMM patients, the disease remains a clinically incurable plasma cell neoplasm," said Prof. He Huang, Bone Marrow Transplantation Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University. "Nevertheless, almost all R/RMM patients eventually experience one or more relapses, with poorer survival outcomes for those with high-risk cytogenetic characteristics or refractory diseases. Data from our study showed that with extraordinary clinical efficacy, OriCAR-017 has been proved to be a novel, safe and effective therapy for patients with R/RMM, especially for those who experienced a relapse after receiving BCMA-targeted therapy. We are looking forward to continuously conducting follow-up clinical studies of OriCAR-017 in concert with Oricell."
"OriCAR-017 has demonstrated 100% ORR and controllable safety in the POLARIS study, providing a solid foundation for Oricell's subsequent registration of clinical studies," stated Helen Yang, Chairman and CEO of Oricell. "The firm is in the process of submitting an application in the US and China for the registration of clinical studies of OriCAR-017 while advancing the therapy to critical phases of clinical research as soon as possible."
About OriCAR-017
OriCAR-017, one of the key therapies developed by Oricell based on the company's two proprietary technology platforms OriAb and OriCAR, is a GPRC5D-targeted CAR T-Cell therapy used to treat relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
In June 2022, Oricell announced data from Phase I POLARIS clinical trial conducted by investigators in China at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting for 2022. As of April 30, 2022, all evaluable data of the study had showed 100% ORR as well as 100% minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate as measured by flow cytometry (10-5) at day 28 after infusion in all participators, including those who relapsed following the BCMA CAR-T therapy.
In October 2022, OriCAR-017 received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of RRMM.
Currently, the company is accelerating the registration of the therapy in both China and the US.
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM), one of the most common blood cancers, is a malignant disease of abnormal proliferation of clonal plasma cells. For newly treated MM patients, commonly used first-line treatment drugs include proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and alkylating agents. For most patients, the commonly used first-line treatments can stabilize the patient's condition for 3-5 years, but a small number of patients show primary drug resistance at initial treatment, and the disease cannot be effectively controlled. Most of the newly treated patients with effective treatment will inevitably enter the relapse and refractory stage after the stable disease period. Therefore, there is still an unmet clinical need for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In the United States, MM accounts for nearly 2% of all new cancer cases and more than 2% of cancer deaths. (For more information, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33498356/ )

The company developed the first CAR-T product targeting GPC-3 with positive data from an exploratory clinical study, which was presented at ASCO 2021. Its first independently-developed immune checkpoint (PD-L1/4-1BB) bispecific antibody drug YN051 (ATG101) was licensed to Antengene Corporation (B.6996) for a down payment + milestone of US$142 million for continued development. The program has received approvals in Australia, the U.S. and China for clinical trials, and completed the first patient dosing in Australia and China.
Currently, Oricell Therapeutics has over 10 cellular drug pipelines for solid tumor therapies. Oricell focuses on indications with a wide range of therapeutic needs, including liver, ovarian, gastric, cervical and non-small cell lung cancer, as well as multiple myeloma. With the corporate goal of becoming an innovation-driven global leader in the creation of new tumor immunotherapeutics, Oricell Therapeutics has established an international product development and operations management team, as well as GMP-compliant manufacturing facilities and quality testing and management systems, to continue to explore and develop therapeutically effective, differentiated and affordable drugs through its own innovative technology platforms. The company seeks to create new opportunities for the development of innovative China-made drugs. Oricell has raised over $120 million USD in series B financing this July.

TAMPA, Fla. — A local group is forming lasting friendships for dogs and humans. Lynne Tonte started a meetup group called Chihuahuas of the Tampa Bay area 13 years ago and it's stronger than ever.
“I didn't realize that, in all honesty, when I started the group, how much it would change not only mine, but other people's lives. I have lifelong friends. I have people on the group that have bought homes together,” explained Tonte.
The group is for anyone who has a dog that weighs under 20 pounds. There are Shih tzus, Malteses, and even Dachshunds. The group also has events all the time, and they’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars for local animal organizations over the years.
“But that’s where it really started. We wanted to give back to the community, but we wanted to have fun doing it because that was part of the group,” said Tonte.
This group sure does have fun. They have a band called Kirby and the bow girls since there is now a little boy puppy in the group. The whole experience is rewarding for Tonte, but it's truly the gift that keeps on giving.
“The friendships that the dogs have created with each other and the people. Nothing beats that,” said Tonte.
Don’t forget to share your rescue dog or cat stories on the Tully’s Tails Facebook Page. We might even share it on Good Morning Tampa Bay.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — The United States will deploy additional infantry troops to the Baltic country of Estonia “in the coming weeks” to strengthen defenses on NATO’s eastern flank, Estonian defense officials said Thursday.
The deployment consists of a U.S. infantry company — a unit typically consisting of 80 to 250 soldiers, Estonia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. That will be accompanied by the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, known as HIMARS, as well as associated command and control equipment and systems.
“This decision marks a significant enhancement of the U.S. rotational military presence in Estonia and the Baltic States, demonstrating the U.S.' long-standing commitment to the security of our region and greatly enhancing NATO’s posture,” Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said.
Last week, Russia’s neighbor Estonia said it would acquire the advanced HIMARS to boost its defense capabilities in the Baltic country’s largest arms procurement project ever, worth more than $200 million.
In a separate statement, the U.S. Embassy in Tallinn said that the American troops are part of NATO’s enhanced rotational troop deployments agreed at the military alliance’s Madrid summit earlier this year.

High school graduate denied diploma for dancing on stage, crowd reaction
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – A high schooler said she cried tears of humiliation instead of joy at her graduation.
“She stole that moment from me,” Hafsah Abdur-Rahman said. “I will never get that again.”
The 17-year-old says the principal for The Philadelphia High School for Girls warned students that their families could not cheer or clap when they walk on stage June 9. She said she understood the rules.
“I’m like, ‘Do not say nothing, because I want my diploma,’” she said.
In a video of the ceremony, Abdur-Rahman dances across the stage, and the response can be heard from the crowd.
She says because they laughed, the principal told her she could not receive her diploma.
“If they thought that I shouldn’t do the Griddy across the stage and the Girl’s High traditions, nobody should have been able to wave or blow kisses or do period signs, because I feel like that’s the same thing,” she said. “So, I just thought it was really unfair.”
Abdur-Rahman says she’s not alone. Three other girls did not get their diplomas on stage, but all of them did after the ceremony.
The School District of Philadelphia said in a statement it does not condone the withholding of earned diplomas based on family members cheering for their graduates.
“We apologize to all the families and graduates who were impacted and are further looking into this matter to avoid it happening in the future,” the district said in a statement.
Although Abdur-Rahman wishes she had a better experience, she and her mother, Jaszmine Reid, hoped school leaders learned a valuable lesson.
“It’s 2023, a lot has happened,” Reid said. “These girls went through COVID together. I understand traditions and the rules are set and in place for a reason, and we’re not saying that they should be broken, but it might need to be revised also.”

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Legion National Commander Paul E. Dillard thanked congressional leaders for their decision to allow Hershel W. "Woody" Williams to lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda.
"We are grateful that Sen. (Chuck) Schumer and Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi recognize the outstanding service provided by the last Medal of Honor recipient to pass away from World War II," Dillard said. "Woody was not just an amazing Marine, he was an outstanding veterans advocate. He is responsible for Gold Star Family memorials being placed in communities across the country. After his Marine Corps career, he continued to serve veterans as a VA counselor. We were proud to have Hershel W. Williams as a member of The American Legion for 72 years. Delegates to our national convention in 2018 unanimously passed a resolution to honor the last World War II Medal of Honor recipient with a state funeral. We believe this distinction is well-deserved and a meaningful reminder to all that we owe our very survival as a nation to the veterans of World War II."

BOSTON, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimism is the keyword for the 2023 travel landscape as travelers embrace more distant experiences compared to 2022. Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), the leader in personalized small group and solo travel for Americans ages 50 and older, announced its top 4 travel trends for 2023.
"Travelers are showing a high level enthusiasm for life-changing adventures far from home, often on their own," said Brian FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of O.A.T. "It's a genuine priority for travelers to connect and engage with people from other cultures, and to find ways to give back to communities they visit."
1. Africa – Travel to Africa is seeing a resurgence. Botswana, Morocco, and Egypt top the list of popular 2023 trips at O.A.T. In 2022, travelers were more focused on Europe.
People who dream of visiting Africa -- whether on safari on floating down the Nile -- continue to make up for time lost due to the pandemic. These motivated travelers don't want to put off visiting the continent any longer, and their sights are set on 2023.
2. Solos going strong – Women over 50, in particular, are heading out to see the world on their own. According to O.A.T., the number of solo travelers reserving for 2023 is up 24% compared to 2019. Overall, more than 60% of O.A.T. travelers are solos, and the majority are women.
"As a single traveler, you're driving everything," said O.A.T. solo traveler Muriel Forster. "That just gives you a great deal of flexibility. I overheard someone say, 'a once in a lifetime experience.' I thought, 'I don't want this to be once in a lifetime – I want this to be my lifetime!"
Solo travelers are drawn to trips with no single supplement, which can be hundreds or thousands of dollars. O.A.T. offers free single supplements on 92% of its single spaces in 2023.
3. Personalized travel – Travelers want the benefits of expert-led small group tours, but increasingly crave more than a one-size-fits all experience. 2023 will bring continued traveler demand to tailor trips with one's individual preferences. For example, many travelers prefer to arrive early at a destination before a tour starts so they feel acclimated.
At O.A.T., 87% of travelers personalize their trips by arriving early, staying later, adding a stopover at a popular international city, or combining trips. By comparison, just 75% requested personalization in 2018.
4. Regenerative travel – The idea that tourism should leave a destination better than it was before is gaining ground globally. In a nutshell, regenerative travel improves local economies while preserving local cultures and biodiversity. It benefits local people and allows destinations to improve, all while providing authentic experiences to travelers.
O.A.T., through its Grand Circle Foundation, supports projects focused on water, conservation, and renewable energy in the areas to which the company travels. The Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (W.A.S.H.) initiative helps improve the well-being of local people. Access to safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene education reduces illness and death, and increases socio-economic development leading to a reduction in poverty. The Foundation supports alternative energy sources to reduce carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. Some schools add solar panels as an alternate source of electricity and to reduce operating expenses. Solar lights from the Foundation replace kerosene, reducing illness from soot and smoke and enabling students to study at night, leading to a better education.
O.A.T. provides travelers over 50 with impactful, intercultural experiences that help change people's lives. O.A.T. fosters an intimate and accessible experience, with groups limited to 16 travelers (average of 13) by land and 25 (average of 22) by sea.
To learn more about O.A.T., please visit www.oattravel.com or call 1-800-955-1925.
Established in 1978, Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) is part of Boston-based Grand Circle Corporation's family of travel companies, which also include Grand Circle Cruise Line and Grand Circle Travel. In 1992, owners Alan and Harriet Lewis established the nonprofit Grand Circle Foundation to support communities in which Grand Circle works and travels, including some 300 humanitarian, cultural, and educational endeavors worldwide—among them, 100 schools, in 50 countries. The Foundation is an entity of the Alnoba Lewis Family Foundation, which has pledged or donated more than $250 million since 1981.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Manifest, the top sustainable ecommerce fulfillment provider in the US, announced the publication of an 11 page market analysis including carbon footprint measurement from core clients Definite Articles, PiperWai, SUAVS, Thousand Fell, and TopFoxx.

Manifest, founded by one of the Cofounders of ShipBob along with many early employees from ShipBob, provides sustainable packaging and clear data to show DTC brands and their customers exactly how they offset their carbon in the process. Manifest focuses on DTC brands that procure between 1,000 and 100,000 domestic-US orders per month. Brands that have adopted Manifest early span from newly launched VC-funded brands to newer DTC brands launched by repeat-Founders. The door is also wide open to the more matriculated high-growth DTC brand.
The Manifest executive leadership team includes:
George Wojciechowski, CEO & Cofounder

Over twenty reports from predominant research firms indicate that customers are more inclined to shop from brands that clearly connect the dots between sustainability metrics. These metrics should be focused on product packaging and shipping; with a clear line to resolving their personal sustainability goals. "We've done this before, we're doing it again, and now we've made it more sustainable" said CEO & Cofounder at Manifest, George Wojciechowski. "Every part of our community is built on the belief that sustainable commerce needs to be more accessible to brands and ultimately their customers."
"Partnering with Manifest for PiperWai's fulfillment has been an eye-opening experience. Their team not only delivers an above-average merchant experience that matches our high-standard for logistics performance; they also provide easy-to-digest carbon footprint data that is important to both us and our customers" said Sarah Ribner, Cofounder of PiperWai.
"The future of fulfillment is here" said VP of Marketing at Manifest, Peter Hillowe. "The needs of our merchants and their customers force us to live in the present. What's always worked no longer works for the new breed of sustainability-driven Founder/CXOs. Manifest is focused on building a story that speaks directly to them in the ways they prefer to be spoken to by way of content consumption. It's a welcome challenge that a new cohort of talent is being drawn to - myself included. Big fundraising checks and relatively high revenue is magnetizing the younger-skewing generation away from blue-chip and SaaS technology. It's been uplifting to see the new breed of go-to-market professionals completely reinvent the buying experience".

MONTREAL (AP) — Max Verstappen overcame slick conditions to win his second pole of the season, and Fernando Alonso used the wet track to earn his first front row start in a decade in rainy qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix.
The Saturday run for Verstappen, the reigning Formula One champion and current points leader, was no surprise even though its the Dutchman’s first career pole at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Instead, it was 40-year-old Alonso who brought the crowd to its feet with a thrilling run to qualify second. He jumped ahead of Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton as time expired and drew a rousing ovation from the rain-soaked spectators.
“It is an unbelievable weekend so far for us,” said the Alpine driver. “The car was mega. I was so comfortable driving this car, and the fans pushed me to make an extra push.”
But can he convert it into his first F1 victory since 2013 on Sunday, when weather conditions are expected to be greatly improved and the track dry?
“I think we’ll attack Max in the first corner,” the Spaniard smiled. He later added he’d be content finishing fifth.
Sainz qualified third for Ferrari, while teammate Charles Leclerc didn’t bother taking his car out after the first group. Leclerc has already been handed a 10-place grid penalty for changing his engine ahead of Sunday; Leclerc was 15th overall but will start at the back of the grid alongside Yuki Tsunoda, who also changed an engine.
Hamilton qualified a season-best fourth as he recovered from one of the worst practice days of the year in his Mercedes. A technical directive issued Thursday to help alleviate the bouncing that Mercedes and other cars are fighting this season actually made Friday more difficult for Hamilton, who has been suffering from both back pain and headaches because of the effect known as “porpoising.”
Haas had a huge qualifying day as Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher were fifth and sixth and Schumacher is positioned to score the first points of his F1 career.
“It’s very enjoyable in these conditions. It’s not just one lap,” said Magnussen. “Days like this is what makes you happy and makes you smile.”
George Russell of Mercedes crashed in the final qualifying group and was eighth, while Zhou Guanyu was 10th as he advanced to the third round for the first time in his career.
Sergio Perez crashed his Red Bull in the second session and wound up 13th — the first time he’ll start lower than fifth this year.

BRYAN, Texas — A philanthropy class at Texas A&M University is giving students real life opportunities to impact the community. This spring, the class distributed over $100,000 to local non-profit organizations in the Brazos Valley.
Kyle Gammenthaler is the instructor for the strategic philanthropy class and said he wanted students to experience generosity in an educational environment.
“We have four sections of the class each year giving out generally around 75 to 100 thousand a year,” said Kyle Gammenthaler, Instructor at Texas A&M University. “In this past semester, we gave out 108 thousand 500 dollars which was the most we had ever given away in one semester.”
The strategic philanthropy class is held every spring and donors such as Aggieland Credit Union, the Philanthropy Lab, the George and Barbara Bush Foundation and other private donors provide the funds for the students.
“We have non profits from the Brazos Valley apply for grant funding just like they would to any other grant making entity and the students review the applications,” said Gammenthaler. “They learn about non-profit leadership, strategy, finances. They do site visits and interviews.”
Students then come back to class and decide which ten nonprofits will receive funding.
Gammenthaler says it’s the students choice on where every dollar goes.
“We decided to give to the Brazos Valley Food Bank, Health for All, the Sexual Assault Resource Center, Save our Streets Ministry, and the REACH Project,” said Jentri Cornelius, student at Texas A&M.
Cornelius was in her freshman year while taking the class and says it was the moment she presented a check to her favorite nonprofit that she became emotional.
“One of their student volunteers who was coming to accept the check on behalf of The Reach Project was actually one of my old fish camp counselors,” said Cornelius.
“How full circle that you would bring me into A&M and make me feels so welcome here and now that I’m plugged in, I’m able to give back to you and your organization. Not to be cliche, but it was a very Aggie moment and I loved it.”
At the end of spring next year, Gammenthaler says they’ll hit another milestone.
“We’ll have surpassed a million dollars going back to the non-profit community here,” said Gammenthaler. “It’s really a celebration. Every dollar is powerful.”
Students of the philanthropy class are invited to come back in two years to share their experience in the class and how their non-profits are going.

Former President Donald Trump recounted in a new interview Monday how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) asked him to back him in 2018, saying that his endorsement was like a “nuclear weapon.”
Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview that aired Monday night that “it was like a nuclear weapon went off” after he endorsed DeSantis in his 2018 gubernatorial primary race.
He said that DeSantis came to him “with tears in his eyes” to ask for the former president’s endorsement, promoting that he will win if Trump backed him.
Trump said that since DeSantis defended him during his impeachment trials during his presidency, he would “give it a shot.” He claimed he asked DeSantis to write out what he wanted Trump to say in his endorsement, but Trump changed the writing to make it
“great.”
“I said, ‘You write out what you’d like and let me see it.’ He wrote it out. I thought it was terrible. I changed it, made it great, and I gave him a great endorsement. From the moment I press that button, he blew the guy away. The race was over,” Trump said.
Trump added that DeSantis could be working in a pizza parlor or a law office if it was not for his endorsement, saying that he could never have gotten the nomination if it wasn’t for him.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)
This is not the first time Trump has shared his account of how he endorsed DeSantis in 2018. Over the weekend, he also said that the governor came to him “with tears in his eyes” to ask for an endorsement and mocked DeSantis asking him for his support.
Trump also said earlier this month that he “probably” regrets endorsing DeSantis in the 2018 race.
The Hill reached out to DeSantis’ office for comment.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — H. Lee Sarokin, the federal judge who freed boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and in a landmark case famously said tobacco companies engaged in a “vast” conspiracy to conceal the dangers of smoking, has died in California, news outlets reported Friday. He was 94.
Sarokin died Tuesday in La Jolla, a seaside community in San Diego where he and his wife lived in retirement, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Sarokin had pulmonary fibrosis and other ailments, his wife, Margie Sarokin, told the paper.
Haddon Lee Sarokin was a New Jersey-born graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School. He was nominated to a federal judgeship by former President Jimmy Carter and served on the district court in New Jersey from 1979 to 1994 and the appeals court from 1994 to 1996.
In 1985, Sarokin threw out the convictions of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and John Artis, two Black men who were wrongfully convicted of killing three white men. Sarokin ruled that their prosecution was based “upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, concealment rather than disclosure.”
The ruling stood after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal.
Carter’s innocence had been championed by celebrities and was the basis of a 1975 song by Bob Dylan.
Sarokin told the Union-Tribune in 2014 that Carter called him every year on Nov. 7, the anniversary of the ruling.
In 1988, Sarokin also presided over a landmark liability case against tobacco companies. Sarokin’s pre-trial rulings opened the way for corporate records to be submitted as evidence. When lawyers for the company asked Sarokin to dismiss the case in their favor, he refused, saying famously that evidence showed the tobacco industry engaged in a conspiracy “vast in its scope, devious in its purpose and devastating in its results.”
The case resulted in a jury awarding $400,000 to the estate of Rose Cipollone, who had died after decades of smoking.
An appeals court overturned the verdict and removed Sarokin from a second similar case, saying some of Sarokin’s comments suggested bias against the tobacco makers, which he denied. However, documents in the case helped pave the way for a wave of similar lawsuits brought by state attorneys general in 1998.
Sarokin issued some 2,500 rulings over his career, among them deciding that a homeless man couldn’t be barred from a public library because of his smell.
“He was never afraid to say what he thought,” his wife said.
In retirement, Sarokin was a regular contributor to HuffPost and wrote a dozen plays with themes of social justice and civil rights that were staged by the regional North Coast Repertory Theater.
In addition to his wife, Sarokin is survived by five children and 11 grandchildren.

Events drive millions of people into thousands of key locations every week, so businesses and community leaders need to prepare for their impact. New research reveals 16 major US cities will experience unusually high event impact in November
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The November 2022 Event Index reveals 16 cities that need to prepare for unusually busy weeks as NCAA, expos and massive holiday season events drive millions of people into cities across America. Tucson, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia and Phoenix, Oklahoma City will experience the biggest demand surge, which largely catch businesses unawares and unprepared (unless they're tracking upcoming impactful events).
The 16 cities were identified using the PredictHQ Event Index: a unique algorithm per city to identify the impact of upcoming events, comparing it to each city's unique five years of previous event data. The Event Index generates a score out of 20 per week per city, with anything over 15 being notably higher event activity. The index and report is produced by demand intelligence company PredictHQ, which aggregates, verifies and enriches event data that is then used by companies such as Accor Hotels, Uber and Domino's Pizza in demand forecasting and planning.
With more than 11,856 events with 2,500+ attendees taking place in the United States in November, businesses can tap into the people movement and billions of dollars in demand that these events drive. This is especially true for the cities experiencing unusually high people movement, also known as footfall that can be tapped into to drive demand. The cities with the highest peaks are detailed in this new report.
"The holiday season is a particularly challenging time for demand forecasters and planners," PredictHQ CEO Campbell Brown says. "They need to factor in the impact of increasingly cold weather, while also accounting for holiday travels and purchasing behaviors. Tracking events is key to getting your pricing, staff volume and inventory levels right, as a nearby event or cluster of events can send demand skyrocketing. Our Event Index reveals demand surges in cities all over the US, from Tucson to Baltimore to Minneapolis."
The cities with the highest Event Index scores and therefore the most impacted by events are:
- Tucson for three weeks from 11/6 to 11/27
- Salt Lake City for the week starting 11/13
- Philadelphia for the week starting 11/20
- Phoenix for the week starting 11/13
- Oklahoma City for two weeks starting 11/6
- Charlotte for two weeks starting 11/13
- Read the full list of peak weeks for the 16 cities in the report
These scores are generated by a unique model applied to each of the 63 most populous US cities, calculated for each city's baseline event activity based on five years of historical, verified event data and millions of events per location. For example, a score of an 18 in New York City will entail millions of people moving about the city, whereas a score of 18 in Wichita, Kansas will involve just over 100,000 people.
PredictHQ tracks 19 categories of events globally, including attendance-based events such as concerts and sports; non-attendance-based events such as school holidays and college dates, as well as unscheduled events such as severe weather incidents. This breadth of event coverage is critical for the Event Index, as the peak weeks are caused by many overlapping large and small events.
While the Event Index provides an accurate look ahead at people movement, it is designed to be a simple and accessible summary of the demand intelligence PredictHQ offers – particularly for large companies operating worldwide. Industry leaders in on-demand, accommodation, QSR and transportation use PredictHQ's verified and enriched event data to inform staffing decisions, pricing and inventory strategies, and many other core business decisions.
For more information on PredictHQ please visit www.predicthq.com.
PredictHQ, the demand intelligence company, empowers global organizations to anticipate changes in demand for their products and services through intelligent event data. PredictHQ aggregates events from 350+ sources and verifies, enriches, and ranks them by predicted impact so companies can proactively discover catalysts that will impact demand.

CHRISTIANA, Del. (AP) — A Delaware mall shooting left three people injured and forced shoppers to evacuate as police investigate.
Delaware State Police said authorities do not have a suspect in custody in the shooting at the Christiana Mall, in a northern community near Pennsylvania.
“We can confirm that there are 3 victims who were injured by gunfire and transported to an area hospital for medical treatment,” police said in a tweet. “There are currently no public safety concerns at Christiana Mall and the surrounding area.”
The mall would remain closed Saturday evening, police said in a statement.
The three people were shot in the food court area, WPVI-TV reported.
Police asked people to keep away as authorities investigate, but set up a reunification site at the north entrance for those trying to locate someone.
Additional details were not immediately available.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to gather more details on this shooting,” police said in a tweet.

Which plastic toy box is best?
It’s an immutable law of nature that children will leave their toys absolutely everywhere. You can curtail this phenomenon by using a plastic toy box to not only train your child to return their toys to one place when they’re done but also help your child (and you) find their favorite toys faster.
The best plastic toy box is the Humble Crew Kids’ Toy Storage Organizer with 12 Plastic Bins. This toy organizer has 12 plastic bins for storage and organization and is available in four colors.
What to know before you buy a plastic toy box
Styles
There are three main types of plastic toy box: chest, box and bin.
Chest: Most toy box chests are made of wood, but some are also made of plastic or plastic and fabric. Chests are the classical idea of a toy box, being a large and oblong box with some kind of lid. They’re best for keeping larger toys or for those with several children.
Box: Boxes come in many shapes, sizes and forms. Some boxes are similar to the chest in that they’re one large container with some kind of lid. Others can be in the form of carrying cases with tons of little sections to be filled with small toys like cars and a handle. Others still can be collapsible, used for temporary play sessions like playdates or for keeping toys together on the go.
Bin: Bins, like boxes, come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. Their main characteristic difference is the lack of a lid.
What to look for in a quality plastic toy box
Design
Plastic toy boxes aren’t usually available with images or special designs; they’re typically made in solid colors, whether they’re translucent or not. The biggest design benefit of a plastic toy box over other materials is that they’re perfect for adding stickers to since they can be easily removed. Decorating a new plastic toy box with a fresh set of stickers can even be a fun shared activity between parent and child.
Shape and size
When shopping for a new plastic toy box, consider both where you’ll need to put it as well as how many toys it needs to hold.
How much you can expect to spend on a plastic toy box
Plastic toy boxes are some of the most affordable toy boxes available, as they typically start around $10 for just a small box and peak around $50 for some of the more organization-heavy models. Their best possible versions rarely exceed $75.
Plastic toy box FAQ
What’s the difference between a toy box and a toy organizer?
Toy boxes and toy organizers serve the same purpose: keeping your child’s toys in one place. They just go about it with different methods.
Toy boxes: Toy boxes focus on keeping all of your child’s toys in one place, no matter the size. They’re perfect for introducing your child to the idea of cleaning up after oneself and are especially good for households with many children.
Toy organizers: Toy organizers serve as a kind of next step to toy boxes. Once your child understands the idea of returning a toy to a resting place when not in use, toy organizers introduce the idea of sorting by similarity. They also make finding a specific toy much faster and easier.
Do plastic toy boxes have any safety features?
Boxes large enough for your child to fit in entirely often have ventilation holes, while those with lids can occasionally have safety hinges that prevent the lid from slamming closed.

Pfizer and Astellas announce positive topline results from Phase 3 EMBARK trial
NEW YORK and TOKYO, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503, President and CEO: Kenji Yasukawa, Ph.D., "Astellas") today announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 EMBARK trial evaluating XTANDI® (enzalutamide) in men with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC; also known as non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer or nmCSPC) with high-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR). Patients enrolled in the trial were randomized to one of three study arms: XTANDI plus leuprolide, placebo plus leuprolide, or XTANDI monotherapy. The study met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in metastasis-free survival (MFS) for patients treated with XTANDI plus leuprolide versus placebo plus leuprolide.
At the time of the analysis, a positive trend in the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) was also observed, but these data were not yet mature. Patients in the trial will be followed for a subsequent final OS analysis. The study also met a key secondary endpoint with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in MFS for patients treated with XTANDI monotherapy versus placebo plus leuprolide. Additional key secondary endpoints reached statistical significance, including time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression and time to first use of new antineoplastic therapy. Other secondary endpoints are being analyzed. No new safety signals have been observed to date in the preliminary safety analysis, which is consistent with the established safety profile of XTANDI.
"As the only novel hormone therapy approved for three disease states of prostate cancer in the U.S., XTANDI has impacted hundreds of thousands of men," said Chris Boshoff, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Development Officer, Oncology and Rare Disease, Pfizer Global Product Development. "The topline findings from EMBARK are highly encouraging and we look forward to engaging with health authorities to potentially bring XTANDI to men with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with high-risk biochemical recurrence."
"While current treatment options for localized prostate cancer are intended to be curative, some men remain at higher risk for biochemical recurrence following primary treatment, which may result in metastases," said Ahsan Arozullah, M.D., MPH, Senior Vice President and Head of Development Therapeutic Areas, Astellas. "The EMBARK trial is the first study to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in MFS using the combination of XTANDI plus leuprolide in men with this stage of disease."
Detailed results from EMBARK will be presented at a future medical meeting. These data will also be discussed with regulatory authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to support a potential regulatory submission for XTANDI in this indication.
About EMBARK
The Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national trial enrolled 1,068 patients with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC; also known as non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer or nmCSPC) with high-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) at sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Patients who were considered high-risk BCR had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time ≤ 9 months, serum testosterone ≥ 150 ng/dL (5.2 nmol/L), and screening PSA by the central laboratory ≥ 1 ng/mL if they had a radical prostatectomy (with or without radiotherapy) as primary treatment for prostate cancer or at least 2 ng/mL above the nadir if they had radiotherapy only as primary treatment for prostate cancer. Patients in the EMBARK trial were randomized to receive enzalutamide 160 mg daily plus leuprolide, enzalutamide 160 mg as a monotherapy, or placebo plus leuprolide.
The primary endpoint of the trial was metastasis-free survival (MFS) for enzalutamide plus leuprolide and placebo plus leuprolide. MFS is defined as the duration of time in months between randomization and the earliest objective evidence of radiographic progression by central imaging or death. For more information on the EMBARK (NCT02319837) trial go to www.clinicaltrials.gov.
XTANDI has not been approved for the treatment of patients with nmHSPC with high-risk BCR.
About Non-Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer with High-Risk Biochemical Recurrence
Non-metastatic hormone- (or castration-) sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC or nmCSPC) means there is no detectable evidence of the cancer spreading to distant parts of the body (metastases) with conventional radiological methods (CT/MRI) and the cancer still responds to medical or surgical treatment to lower testosterone levels.1,2 Of men who have undergone definitive prostate cancer treatment, including radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, or both, an estimated 20-40% will experience a biochemical recurrence (BCR) within 10 years.3 About 9 out of 10 men with high-risk BCR will develop metastatic disease, and 1 in 3 will die as a result of the recurrence.3 The EMBARK trial focused on men with high-risk BCR. Per the EMBARK protocol, patients with nmHSPC with high-risk BCR are those initially treated by radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy, or both, with a PSA doubling time ≤ 9 months. High-risk BCR patients with a PSA doubling time of ≤ 9 months have a higher risk of metastases and death.4
About XTANDI® (enzalutamide)
XTANDI (enzalutamide) is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor. The recommended dosage of XTANDI is 160 mg (capsules or tablets) administered orally once daily with or without food. XTANDI is a standard of care that has received regulatory approvals for use in men with mHSPC, mCRPC, and nmCRPC in the United States and for one or more of these indications in more than 100 countries, including the European Union and Japan. More than 720,000 patients have been treated with XTANDI globally.5
E.U. Important Safety Information
Enzalutamide is indicated in the European Union for the treatment of adult men with:
1. Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
2. High-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
3. Metastatic CRPC who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic after failure of ADT in whom chemotherapy is not yet clinically indicated. It is also indicated in adult men with metastatic CRPC whose disease has progressed on or after docetaxel therapy.
For Important Safety Information for enzalutamide please see the full Summary of Product Characteristics at: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/overview/xtandi-epar-medicine-overview_en.pdf.
U.S. Important Safety Information
XTANDI (enzalutamide) is indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).
Warnings and Precautions
Seizure occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving XTANDI in seven randomized clinical trials. In a study of patients with predisposing factors for seizure, 2.2% of XTANDI-treated patients experienced a seizure. It is unknown whether anti-epileptic medications will prevent seizures with XTANDI. Patients in the study had one or more of the following predisposing factors: use of medications that may lower the seizure threshold, history of traumatic brain or head injury, history of cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, and Alzheimer's disease, meningioma, or leptomeningeal disease from prostate cancer, unexplained loss of consciousness within the last 12 months, history of seizure, presence of a space-occupying lesion of the brain, history of arteriovenous malformation, or history of brain infection. Advise patients of the risk of developing a seizure while taking XTANDI and of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others. Permanently discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop a seizure during treatment.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) There have been reports of PRES in patients receiving XTANDI. PRES is a neurological disorder that can present with rapidly evolving symptoms including seizure, headache, lethargy, confusion, blindness, and other visual and neurological disturbances, with or without associated hypertension. A diagnosis of PRES requires confirmation by brain imaging, preferably MRI. Discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop PRES.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including edema of the face (0.5%), tongue (0.1%), or lip (0.1%) have been observed with XTANDI in seven randomized clinical trials. Pharyngeal edema has been reported in post-marketing cases. Advise patients who experience any symptoms of hypersensitivity to temporarily discontinue XTANDI and promptly seek medical care. Permanently discontinue XTANDI for serious hypersensitivity reactions.
Ischemic Heart Disease In the combined data of four randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, ischemic heart disease occurred more commonly in patients on the XTANDI arm compared to patients on the placebo arm (2.9% vs 1.3%). Grade 3-4 ischemic events occurred in 1.4% of patients on XTANDI versus 0.7% on placebo. Ischemic events led to death in 0.4% of patients on XTANDI compared to 0.1% on placebo. Monitor for signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease. Optimize management of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Discontinue XTANDI for Grade 3-4 ischemic heart disease.
Falls and Fractures occurred in patients receiving XTANDI. Evaluate patients for fracture and fall risk. Monitor and manage patients at risk for fractures according to established treatment guidelines and consider use of bone-targeted agents. In the combined data of four randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, falls occurred in 11% of patients treated with XTANDI compared to 4% of patients treated with placebo. Fractures occurred in 10% of patients treated with XTANDI and in 4% of patients treated with placebo.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity The safety and efficacy of XTANDI have not been established in females. XTANDI can cause fetal harm and loss of pregnancy when administered to a pregnant female. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XTANDI and for 3 months after the last dose of XTANDI.
Adverse Reactions (ARs) In the data from the four randomized placebo-controlled trials, the most common ARs (≥ 10%) that occurred more frequently (≥ 2% over placebo) in XTANDI-treated patients were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, hot flush, constipation, arthralgia, decreased appetite, diarrhea, and hypertension. In the bicalutamide-controlled study, the most common ARs (≥ 10%) reported in XTANDI-treated patients were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, musculoskeletal pain, hot flush, hypertension, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and weight loss.
In AFFIRM, the placebo-controlled study of metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) patients who previously received docetaxel, Grade 3 and higher ARs were reported among 47% of XTANDI-treated patients. Discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs) were reported for 16% of XTANDI-treated patients. In PREVAIL, the placebo-controlled study of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients, Grade 3-4 ARs were reported in 44% of XTANDI patients and 37% of placebo patients. Discontinuations due to AEs were reported for 6% of XTANDI treated patients. In TERRAIN, the bicalutamide-controlled study of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients, Grade 3-4 ARs were reported in 39% of XTANDI patients and 38% of bicalutamide patients. Discontinuations with an AE as the primary reason were reported for 8% of XTANDI patients and 6% of bicalutamide patients.
In PROSPER, the placebo-controlled study of non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC) patients, Grade 3 or higher ARs were reported in 31% of XTANDI patients and 23% of placebo patients. Discontinuations with an AE as the primary reason were reported for 9% of XTANDI patients and 6% of placebo patients.
In ARCHES, the placebo-controlled study of metastatic CSPC (mCSPC) patients, Grade 3 or higher AEs were reported in 24% of XTANDI-treated patients. Permanent discontinuation due to AEs as the primary reason was reported in 5% of XTANDI patients and 4% of placebo patients.
Lab Abnormalities: Lab abnormalities that occurred in ≥ 5% of patients, and more frequently (> 2%) in the XTANDI arm compared to placebo in the pooled, randomized, placebo-controlled studies are neutrophil count decreased, white blood cell decreased, hyperglycemia, hypermagnesemia, hyponatremia, and hypercalcemia.
Hypertension: In the combined data from four randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials, hypertension was reported in 12% of XTANDI patients and 5% of placebo patients. Hypertension led to study discontinuation in < 1% of patients in each arm.
Drug Interactions
Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI Avoid strong CYP2C8 inhibitors, as they can increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If co-administration is necessary, reduce the dose of XTANDI. Avoid strong CYP3A4 inducers as they can decrease the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If coadministration is necessary, increase the dose of XTANDI. Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Commonwealth University will pay nearly $1 million to the family of a young man who died after a 2021 fraternity hazing incident as part of a recent settlement agreement.
The agreement with the family of Adam Oakes also requires the Richmond university to make additional changes to its fraternity and sorority life. The deal was approved Friday by the Fairfax County Circuit Court, VCU announced in a news release.
“This is a blueprint to foster a safer and healthier community for students who are part of fraternities and sororities and to create a climate of respect and inclusion that is needed for academic success,” a joint statement from the family and university said.
A police investigation found that Oakes, a 19-year-old who had received a bid to the Delta Chi fraternity, was told to drink a large bottle of whiskey in February 2021. The freshman from Loudoun County was found dead the next morning. The office of the chief medical examiner ruled Oakes’ death was caused by alcohol poisoning. VCU expelled Delta Chi in June 2021.
“Adam was a beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, student and friend. He had a tremendous future ahead of him and his senseless death brought unspeakable pain and tragedy to all who knew him," Friday's statement said.
In addition to the $995,000 monetary settlement, the agreement will require that VCU students complete 12 credit hours and other eligibility requirements before joining a fraternity or sorority. It will also prohibit alcohol at any activity of any fraternity or sorority attended by new members, and tighten the rules for alcohol served or consumed at student organization functions.
VCU will begin the process of creating a physical memorial to Oakes on campus, and will designate Feb. 27 as an annual hazing prevention day and day of remembrance for Oakes. The settlement also contains a reporting requirement for information about student organizations found to be in violation of the code of conduct.
Delta Chi faced discipline each of its last seven years on campus, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Several former members of the fraternity have pleaded guilty or were found guilty of misdemeanor hazing or misdemeanor serving alcohol to a minor in connection with the case, the newspaper has reported. None has received jail time.

J&J COVID-19 vaccine distribution restricted due to blood clot risk, FDA says
WASHINGTON - U.S. regulators on Thursday strictly limited who can receive Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine due to the ongoing risk of rare but serious blood clots.
The Food and Drug Administration said the shot should only be given to adults who cannot receive a different vaccine or specifically request J&J's vaccine. U.S. authorities for months have recommended that Americans starting their COVID-19 vaccinations use the Pfizer or Moderna shots instead.
FDA officials said in a statement that they decided to restrict J&J's vaccine after taking another look at data on the risk of life-threatening blood clots within two weeks of vaccination.
J&J’s vaccine was initially considered an important tool in fighting the pandemic because it required only one shot. But the single-dose option proved less effective than two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
In December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended prioritizing Moderna and Pfizer shots over J&J's because of its safety issues. Previously, U.S. officials had treated all three vaccines similarly because they'd each been shown to offer strong protection.
But follow-up studies have consistently shown lower effectiveness for J&J's vaccine. And while the blood clots seen with J&J's shot are rare, officials say they're still occurring.
Federal scientists identified 60 cases, including nine that were fatal, as of mid-March. That amounts to one blood clot case per 3.23 million J&J shots administered, the FDA said Thursday. The vaccine will carry a starker warning about potential "long-term and debilitating health consequences" of the side effect.
Under the new FDA instructions, J&J’s vaccine could still be given to people who had a severe allergic reaction to one of the other vaccines and can’t receive an additional dose. J&J’s shot could also be an option for people who refuse to receive the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, and therefore would otherwise remain unvaccinated, the agency said.
A J&J spokesman said in an emailed statement: "Data continue to support a favorable benefit-risk profile for the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in adults, when compared with no vaccine."
Despite the restriction, FDA’s vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks said J&J’s vaccine "still has a role in the current pandemic response in the United States and across the global community."
The FDA based its decision on "our safety surveillance systems and our commitment to ensuring that science and data guide our decisions."
The clotting problems first came up last spring, with the J&J shot in the U.S. and with a similar vaccine made by AstraZeneca that is used in other countries. At that time, U.S. regulators decided the benefits of J&J’s one-and-done vaccine outweighed what was considered a very rare risk — as long as recipients were warned.
COVID-19 causes deadly blood clots, too. But the vaccine-linked kind is different, believed to form because of a rogue immune reaction to the J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines because of how they’re made. It forms in unusual places, such as veins that drain blood from the brain, and in patients who also develop abnormally low levels of the platelets that form clots. Symptoms of the unusual clots include severe headaches a week or two after the J&J vaccination — not right away — as well as abdominal pain and nausea.
The New Brunswick, New Jersey-based company announced last month that it didn’t expect a profit from the vaccine this year and was suspending sales projections.
The rollout of the company’s vaccine was hurt by a series of troubles, including manufacturing problems at a Baltimore factory that forced J&J to import millions of doses from overseas.
Additionally, regulators added warnings about the blood clots and a rare neurological reaction called Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Pfizer and Moderna have provided the vast majority of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. More than 200 million Americans have been fully vaccinated with the companies’ two-dose shots while less than 17 million Americans got the J&J shot.

JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) – A three-judge panel has found a Juarez Catholic priest guilty of sexually abusing an altar girl when she was 8 years old, Chihuahua state officials said.
The judges on Monday afternoon convicted the Rev. Aristeo Baca of two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of aggravated sexual abuse. The abuse allegedly took place inside the Santa Maria de la Montana parish in South Juarez between December 2015 and January 2018, the state Attorney General’s Office said.
The investigation began when the girl’s parents called police after their daughter refused to go back to the church in early 2019. Police psychologists and medical personnel determined the girl had suffered sexual assault, the AG’s Office said in a statement.
Baca denied the charges, although prosecutor alleged he once asked forgiveness from the girl’s father.
“The evidence presented during the trial shows the accused broke the trust and took advantage of the access he had to the victim,” the AG’s Office said.
The same three-judge panel that found him guilty will sentence Baca on March 1. He faces up to 80 years in prison.
Several supporters of Baca showed up outside the courtroom throughout the trial with signs proclaiming he was innocent. However, women’s rights groups such as Red Mesa de Mujeres celebrated his conviction.

NEW YORK — It’s still Mario Time at the box office.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” was estimated to easily cross $1 billion in worldwide box office Sunday, making it the 10th animated film to reach that milestone and the first since 2019. With a domestic total thus far of $490 million, international sales are even stronger. The Illumination-animated release took in $68.3 million overseas over the weekend, pushing its international haul to $532.5 million.
Second place went to “Evil Dead Rise.” The horror sequel from Warner Bros. held well in its second week, especially for a horror film, dipping 50% with $12.2 million.
Among the weekend’s newcomers, the Judy Blume adaptation “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret” fared the best. The Lionsgate release grossed $6.8 million in 3,343 locations, a decent start for the $30 million-budgeted coming-of age tale written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (”The Edge of Seventeen”).
As expected, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” about an 11-year-old (Abby Ryder Fortson) going through puberty, drew an overwhelming female audience. With stellar reviews (99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong audience scores (an “A” CinemaScore), “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret,” should play well through Mother’s Day.
Lionsgate also released the Finnish action movie “Sisu” in 1,006 locations. The film, about a prospector (Jorma Tommila) whose gold is stolen by Nazis, grossed an estimated $3.3 million. That was a solid result for the rare international film to receive a nationwide opening. Reviews have been good (93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) for writer-director Jalmari Helander’s film.
“Sisu” managed to surpass the weekend’s most heavyweight new release: “Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World.” The film, from Sony’s Christian production company Affirm Films, gives a faith-based twist to the sports biopic. But after getting dinged by bad review, it didn’t punch very hard, with $3 million in 3,054 theaters.
Nida Manzoor’s “Polite Society,” about a British-Pakistani high-schooler (Priya Kansara) with dreams of becoming a stuntwoman, debuted with $800,000 in 927 theaters. The Focus Features film, one of the standouts of January’s Sundance Film Festival, blends kung-fu with Jane Austen in a story about London sisters.
One of the weekend’s biggest successes was a familiar box-office force. The Walt Disney Co.’s rerelease of “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” grossed $4.7 million in just 475 theaters. Disney put “Jedi” (the 1997 special edition version) back into theaters to commemorate the 1983 film’s 40th anniversary.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” $40 million.
2. “Evil Dead Rise,” $12.2 million.
3. “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret,” $6.8 million.
4. “John Wick: Chapter 4,” $5 million.
5. “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,” $4.7 million.
6. “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” $4.1 million.
7. “Air,” $4 million.
8. “Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two,” $3.6 million.
9. “The Covenant,” $3.6 million.
10. “Sisu,” $3.3 million.

Independence Day is ‘controversial’ and ‘not okay’ to celebrate, according to those profiled by New York Times
'No sparklers for these folks,' according to the Times
While fireworks and parades are just some of the festivities taking place throughout Independence Day, the New York Times chose to spotlight Americans struggling to find reasons to celebrate.
Ahead of the July 4th holiday on Sunday, the Times published a piece titled, "No Sparklers for These Folks," which featured one woman’s political qualms with patriotism and another’s decision to skip fireworks over their "toxic" chemicals and similar sound to gunshots.
One of the interviewees, Malaya Tapp, posted a TikTok elaborating on her stance, doubling down on her argument that it’s "not okay" to celebrate the "controversial holiday."
CANCEL JULY FOURTH? HERE'S HOW WE STOP THE LEFT FROM REWRITING U.S. HISTORY
"Use it to celebrate something else," Tapp said in the video. "I will probably go to a barbecue because those tend to be hosted by Black family or friends, and I see that as a time to come together and celebrate the fact that we are also still here despite America trying to get rid of us when they were trying to gain their independence."
"The message from the left, one, they need to lighten up," Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce said on an "Outnumbered" panel, Tuesday, "but it really does rely on perpetual victimhood that then informs how they view every single thing that's happening in their lives."
Bruce ripped the outlet for elevating the "confused woman" and publishing what she labeled as a "push story."
"It is not a controversial holiday. It just isn't. Even if The New York Times says so, that is untrue," Bruce said. "You've got an America, hundreds of millions of people. We love this holiday. We understand it. They chose Gen Zers, people from New York who are complaining about the heat of it. Some of this is post-pandemic, but this is about the media."
"The message from the left… really does rely on perpetual victimhood that then informs how they view every single thing that's happening in their lives."
Fox News contributor Joe Concha, who also joined Tuesday’s panel, added to the argument that the article is a perfect example of "bias in journalism."
"Whoever the writer was for The New York Times here basically said: 'All right, I have a narrative that I want to go with, but I need people we're going to portray as regular people, that we're going to portray as this is indicative of how America is thinking in general on certain topics, like July 4th,'" Concha explained.
He also pointed out the hypocrisy behind Ms. Tapp’s comments about choosing to attend festivities based on certain demographics.
"Checks off every box, and literally the definition of racism when you say: 'I'm only going to hang out with people of a certain color instead of the content of their character,'" Concha said. "Or maybe they're just really cool to hang out with and they're halfway decent at beer pong."
Heritage Foundation Tech Policy Center Director Kara Frederick echoed Bruce’s argument that the anti-American sentiments stem mostly from younger generations.

"There's a prevailing nihilism among the younger generation that I think we have to contend with. I'm a millennial, so it's a part of my charge, I think, to educate them and let them know that, yes, there could be some manmade changes on the environment," Frederick said.
"But again," she concluded, "We have the innovation, the ingenuity, the technology to contend with that as well. So I think it's a Gen Z issue. They are swimming in a toxic information environment propagated by these social media platforms."

CAIRO (AP) — A cargo ship carrying corn that went aground early on Monday in the Suez Canal was refloated and traffic through the crucial waterway was restored, Egyptian authorities said.
According to Adm. Ossama Rabei, head of the Suez Canal Authority, the Marshall Islands-flagged MV Glory suffered a sudden technical failure while transiting through the canal, and four tugboats were deployed to help refloat it.
The vessel, owned by Greek firm Primera Shipping Inc., was heading to China before it broke down at the 38 kilometer (24 mile) -mark of the canal, near the city of Qantara in the province of Ismailia, Rabei said.
After being refloated, the vessel was towed to a nearby maritime park to fix the problem, he said while the canal’s media office shared images showing the vessel being pulled by tugboats.
Rabei did not elaborate on the nature of the technical failure. Parts of Egypt, including its northern provinces, experienced bad weather Sunday. Traffic in the canal resumed after the ship was refloated and 51 vessels were expected to pass through the waterway in both directions Monday, Rabei’s statement added.
Marwa Maher, a media officer with the canal authority, told The Associated Press the vessel ran aground around 5 a.m. local time and was refloated five hours later.
Canal services firm Leth Agencies posted a map that suggested the ship was against the west bank of the canal, pointed south and not wedged across the channel. Satellite tracking data analyzed by the AP showed the Glory running aground in a single-lane stretch of the Suez Canal just south of Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea.
Traffic Marine, a vessel tracking firm, said the Glory, bound to China, was transiting the canal at 8.5 knots when an engine broke down.
The Glory wasn’t the first vessel to run aground in the crucial waterway. The Panama-flagged Ever Given, a colossal container ship, crashed into a bank on a single-lane stretch of the canal in March 2021, blocking the waterway for six days.
The Ever Given was freed in a giant salvage operation by a flotilla of tugboats. The blockage created a massive traffic jam that held up $9 billion a day in global trade and strained supply chains already burdened by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Ever Given debacle prompted Egyptian authorities to begin widening and deepening the waterway’s southern part where the vessel hit ground.
In August, the Singaporean-flagged Affinity V oil tanker ran aground in a single-lane stretch of the canal, blocking the waterway for five hours before it was freed.
The Joint Coordination Center listed the Glory as carrying over 65,000 metric tons of corn from Ukraine bound for China. The vessel was inspected by the center — which includes Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian and United Nations staffers — off Istanbul on Jan. 3.
Opened in 1869, the Suez Canal provides a crucial link for oil, natural gas and cargo. It also remains one of Egypt’s top foreign currency earners. In 2015, President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi ‘s government completed a major expansion of the canal, allowing it to accommodate the world’s largest vessels.
Built in 2005, the Glory is 225 meters (738 feet) long and 32 meters (105 feet) wide.

Rodent activity leads to food license suspension at Lawrence Walmart
LAWRENCE, IN (WISH) — A Lawrence Walmart’s food license has been suspended after rodent activity was reported in a consumer complaint Wednesday. The store is located on Pendleton Pike.
“We’re there constantly, and we have never seen anything like that,” explained Larita Conwell, a regular shopper at the store.
According to the complaint filed with the Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD), “Mouse dropping present on the shelving in the food display area of the grocery and pet food area.” The store has been fined $500.
“I really don’t have many options because like I said, it’s one of the few stores that we have over here and it’s a superstore, so it carries everything that we need,” said Conwell.
Conwell says her cousin was shopping in the food aisle when she noticed what was going on.
A spokesperson for the Marion County Public Health Department gave I-Team 8 this statement:
“The food license will not be reinstated until the violations have been corrected and the establishment passes inspection by MCPHD.”
The department says a re-inspection of the store was conducted on Friday to see how the store is progressing with it’s violations.
“Most Walmart’s are surrounded by fields. It’s common knowledge that rodents live in fields. There should have been preventative actions already taken before you know where it’s located,” said Conwell.
I-Team reached out to Walmart for comment. A spokesperson gave this statement:
“The cleanliness and safety of our stores is a top priority. We have conducted a thorough third-party inspection to address the matter. We want to assure our customers that we will continue to prioritize their health in our stores and are working to immediately resolve this.”
MCPHD says they will provide an update after the reinspection is completed.

WASHINGTON — The National Archives and Records Administration recovered more than 100 documents bearing classified markings, totaling more than 700 pages, from an initial batch of 15 boxes retrieved from Mar-a-Lago earlier this year, according to newly public government correspondence with the Trump legal team.
The numbers make clear the large volume of secret government documents recovered months ago from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate, well before FBI officials returned there with a search warrant on Aug. 8 and removed an additional 11 sets of classified records. The warrant reveals an FBI investigation into the potential unlawful possession of the records as well as obstruction of justice.
The figures on documents were included in a May 10 letter in which acting archivist Debra Steidel Wall told a lawyer for Trump, Evan Corcoran, that the Biden administration would not be honoring the former president's protective claims of executive privilege over the documents.
Corcoran had weeks earlier requested additional time to review the materials in the boxes before the National Archives produced them to the FBI so that he could determine whether any specific document was subject to executive privilege and therefore exempt from disclosure, according to the letter.
The letter was made public Tuesday on the website of the National Archives. It was released Monday night on a website launched by John Solomon, who was appointed by Trump in June to be one of his designated representatives to the National Archives and who is a Trump ally and conservative journalist.
The archivist's letter says the Justice Department had found “no precedent for an assertion of executive privilege by a former President against an incumbent President to prevent the latter" from obtaining from the National Archives presidential records that belong to the federal government and that are needed for current government business.
As a result, the letter said, claims of executive privilege would not be honored and the FBI would be given access to the documents in a matter of days.
The National Archives had asked the Justice Department to investigate after saying that it had located classified material among the 15 boxes of records it retrieved from Mar-a-Lago that it said should have been turned over by Trump at the end of his White House tenure.
In the letter, archivist Wall writes that in those boxes, the National Archives had identified items marked as classified at the top secret level as well as information about special access programs.
It says the records included over 100 documents with classified markings, “comprising more than 700 pages” and cites an excerpt from separate correspondence from the Justice Department's National Security Division saying that “access to the materials is not only necessary for purposes of our ongoing criminal investigation” but also for an “assessment of the potential damage” resulting from the manner in which the documents were transported and stored.
Corcoran did not immediately return messages seeking comment on the letter.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) had a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new Children’s Tower, their new 16-story building which will be the city’s home for pediatric emergency, trauma and inpatient care when it officially opens on April 30.
The $420 million building is nearly 1 million square feet and takes up an entire block on Virginia Commonwealth University’s medical campus. The Children’s Tower will feature the region’s only Level 1 pediatric trauma center and emergency department, with around-the-clock access to any type of specialist a child may need.
“The VCU Children’s Tower represents a commitment to our children and communities that we’re putting their needs first,” said VCU President Michael Rao. “After many years of our team’s focus on addressing the needs of children in a comprehensive way, I’m so grateful that we’re able to bring together comprehensive children’s health services and research into the early, formative aspects of human development, including the causes and cures of disease and development. CHoR will serve children and families in Richmond and across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, and I’m grateful to every team member and donor who helped make this a reality.”
In addition to state-of-the-art medical facilities specifically designed for pediatric care, the building will feature several amenities for families, including playrooms, interactive installations, a multi-faith chapel and indoor children’s garden.
Construction on the Children’s Tower began in June of 2019 and was completed on time, despite challenges that arose due to COVID-19.
“This is a great day for Virginia and our capital city of Richmond. Not only do we have the best and brightest medical providers – many of whom have graduated from our outstanding Virginia medical schools – but patients can get care from them in state-of-the-art facilities while remaining close to home,” said Gov. Glenn Youngkin. “This Children’s Tower will help ensure that our youngest Virginians can grow into our future leaders, care providers and difference makers.”
Last year, CHoR served more than 70,000 families from all over Virginia, as well as almost all 50 states and outside of the country.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Floridians should be alert for the potential impacts of Hurricane Ian, which is forecast to make landfall in the state in the middle of this week, according to the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I).
The Triple-I offers these preparedness tips for all residents in Ian's path:
- Review your evacuation plan and, if you have a pet, your pet's evacuation plan
- Make sure your hurricane kit includes a minimum seven-day supply of non-perishable food and drinking water (one gallon per person, per day) for all family members and pets, as well as a one-week supply of medications for everyone in your household.
- Write down the name and phone number of your insurer and insurance professional and keep this information either in your wallet or purse
- Purchase emergency supplies, such as batteries and flashlights
- Fully charge your cell phones so you can receive weather alerts
- Prepare your yard by removing all outdoor furniture, lawn items, planters and other materials that could become airborne due to high winds
- Fill your car's gasoline tank
Damage caused by hurricanes and tropical storms are covered under different insurance policies, according to the Triple-I.
Wind-caused property damage is covered under standard homeowners, renters and business insurance policies. Renters' insurance covers a renter's possessions while the landlord insures the structure.
Property damage to a home, a renter's possessions, and a business – resulting from a flood – is generally covered under a FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policy, if the homeowner, renter or business has purchased one. Dozens of private insurers also offer flood insurance.
Private-passenger vehicles damaged or destroyed by either wind or flooding are covered under the optional comprehensive portion of an auto insurance policy. Nearly 80 percent of U.S. drivers choose to purchase comprehensive coverage.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tobias Harris hit a 3-pointer in overtime that put Philadelphia ahead to stay, and Joel Embiid had 28 points, 11 rebounds and four assists as the 76ers extended their winning streak to a season-best five games with a 104-101 win over the struggling Toronto Raptors on Monday night.
“He’s a star in his role,” Embiid said of Harris’ performance. ”That’s what he’s been doing all season, knocking down big shots.”
Harris put the Sixers ahead with 2:12 left in OT and finished with 21 points, making five of his seven 3-point attempts.
“He dedicated this summer to being a spot-up shooter, making shots, and he’s doing that,” Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said of Harris’ evolution. “You can see he’s worked on improving the quickness of his release.”
Harris then came down and made another 3-pointer on the next possession. The referees originally called a shooting foul on Scottie Barnes, which would have sent Harris to the line for a chance to complete the 4-point play, but after a review the referees determined that PJ Tucker committed an illegal screen before Harris’ shot.
“I still don’t understand the call. That will have to be explained to me,” Rivers said of the sequence.
“I wasn’t gonna complain, but that was probably the most ridiculous game I’ve ever been a part of. That’s all I’ll say about that game,” Embiid said, indirectly referencing the play. “I’m just glad we got the win. But the way the game was, it was ridiculous.”
James Harden added 14 points for Philadelphia, which has won the first five games of a seven-game homestand, the Sixers’ longest of the season. The 76ers close out the stretch against the Pistons on Wednesday and Clippers on Friday.
The 76ers won despite a stellar performance from Toronto All-Star forward Pascal Siakam, whose 38-point performance was the highest point total allowed by 76ers this season. Siakam, whose driving layup with 5.1 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime, added 15 rebounds, six assists and strong defense down the stretch in a losing effort.
The Raptors used a 19-1 run, which stretched from late in the third quarter and into the start of the fourth, to erase Philadelphia’s lead, which reached as many as 14 points early in the third. Siakam fueled Toronto’s comeback, scoring 10 of Toronto’s 19 points during the run.
“We got the win. Even when it’s ugly, it still counts. We were up a lot the whole night, they made that run at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth, but we reacted,” Embiid said.
It is the sixth consecutive loss for the struggling Raptors, who fell to 13-18. Toronto shot just 42% from the field and 11 for 40 from 3-point range.
Besides Siakam’s 38 points, no Toronto player scored more than 13. Fred VanVleet (nine points) shot just 3 for 15 from the field, and 2 for 11 from 3-point range.
“I like the way we hung in early .. but we hung in there and hung around and found a little bit of a stretch where we made a few,” Toronto coach Nick Nurse said. “I thought we were creating some really good shots. Probably not quite rewarded, percentage wire, for the quality of shots we did create.”
TIP-INS
76ers: Philadelphia was playing without Furkan Korkmaz, who missed his second straight game with a non-COVID related illness, and without Tyrese Maxey, who is rehabilitating a fracture in his left foot that has caused him to miss the last 14 games.
Raptors: Toronto was without Precious Achiuwa, who has not played since Nov. 9th after tearing a ligament in his right ankle. The Raptors were also without Gary Trent Jr., who missed his third straight game because of a sore left quad. … Toronto’s losing streak was just the third losing streak of five or more games during Nick Nurse’s five seasons with the Raptors. Both of the previous losing streaks came during the 2020-21 season, which saw the Raptors finish with a 27-45 record.
UP NEXT
76ers: Host the Pistons on Wednesday.
Raptors: Will play the Knicks in New York on Wednesday.

Is there a deer-in-headlights/mind-blown emoji? That’s my face five minutes after entering a paint store. Those walls of tiny paint chips with nearly indistinguishable variances can be overwhelming.
And I’m not alone. Many people react with some variation of these counterproductive behaviors:
• Pin the nearest sales clerk to the wall and badger them into picking the color for our entryway;
• Grab a handful of paint chips and flee, delaying the project indefinitely;
• Go for the first shade of blue that doesn’t make us cringe, order it up and get painting. It’s only when the sun sets that we realize the wall turns purple at night, or it makes our beige countertop look orange.
It turns out there is another, lower-cortisol way of picking paint colors for your home. There are professionals who have made it their calling to unearth every undertone, slicing through those paint-chip decks with ease.
We spoke to two local designers who offer color consultations to learn their processes, if not their secrets.
“Painting a home is a lot of work and choosing that color is so important,” said Becky Ducsick, founder and principal interior designer for The Phinery in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge neighborhood. “There’s a lot of value in hiring a professional painter, but they’re not inexpensive. Having a color consult ahead of time is just priceless.”
Ducsick says choosing the right paint color on your own can be “a little bit maddening,” but by providing some direction, she can help streamline the process for her clients.
“We do this so frequently that we know what specific colors are going to look like, so we can easily envision the project,” she says. “We work together with [customers] to select the colors,” but ultimately, “they‘ll make their own selection.”
The Phinery also offers a one-hour home color consultation, concluding with recommendations for all necessary colors. The designers — trained specifically on the color selection process — have curated a selection of Benjamin Moore shades they’ve found to be the most versatile. But they will color-match any brand.
“We have 8.5-by-11 sheets of paint samples and we look at each wall with all the lights off, looking at natural light,” Ducsick says. “We’re especially testing for pinks and purple tones. A lot depends on what’s in the room — if the wall is yellow, it really affects how we read other colors. Yellow is the hardest color to work around. It’s difficult to decorate with. It makes every other color look different than it’s supposed to.”
Ducsick says designers should aim to create a palette for the home that flows from room to room. It helps to start with a neutral base — what she calls “nothing colors” — especially in an open plan. Neutrals pair nicely with white trim and contrasting hardware or decor.
Renee Adsitt, an architectural color consultant for Seattle-based ColorWhiz, says she considers her client’s emotional responses to color in creating “joyful home environments.”
“Color is always working for or against us,” says Adsitt, who has studied at the Pantone Color Institute. “You want to physically and emotionally love” the colors around you. “It’s really important it works for everyone in the house.”
Adsitt says it’s easy to find a color that looks wonderful in a magazine, but it may look very different in your home.
“The No. 1 thing that most people don’t realize is that color is affected by light much more than they imagine,” she says. This can come as a surprise once the paint dries or the sun goes down.
“Everything, from your floors to your landscaping, is shifting your perception of color,” she says. “And we’re all perceiving it a little differently.”
When it comes to color consulting, Adsitt calls herself “a deep diver” whose job is to help clients save time and money on paint sample trial-and-error. “I’ve had people say they paid more for trial quarts than my fee,” she says.
Adsitt says she may start by asking some personal questions, then move on to cover her client’s psychological needs, like whether their goal is to sleep better or to energize their workspace. She requires all house members be present, including the kids.
One bonus to having a neutral party (no pun intended) advising on color is as a peacemaker with partners or other family members. With a goal of letting “everyone win,” Adsitt watches for strong reactions to color — what she calls the “hurl factor” — from one of the parties. If your partner loves chartreuse but it makes you think of past-its-prime avocado, maybe it is used on a throw pillow rather than an entire wall.
Choosing the right color for your home
Ducsick and Adsitt offered a few of their favorite tips for choosing paint colors for your home.
• White — often recommended by real estate agents for its resale value — “is a loud color” that makes all your furnishings and artwork look darker, Adsitt says. If you’re painting for resale, she says, “You don’t need thousands [of buyers] to love it. You only need three people to outbid each other.”
• But don’t paint purely for resale, Ducsick adds. Pick colors you’ll love to live with every day.
• Paint ceilings the same color as the trim to make them look higher. An exception might be in a small, enclosed space like a powder room, which can take on a moody, dark color.
• To make a tiny room seem larger, paint it dark. The effect, Adsitt says, is that the edges will disappear and open up the space.
• Color can affect perceived temperatures. Rooms painted in warm colors will feel 3 to 4 degrees warmer than cool ones, Adsitt says.
• If you’re redecorating, pick your hard goods and surfaces first. It’s easier to custom-match a paint color than to hunt down the right couch in the perfect shade.
• Matte finishes on walls look modern and can help hide nooks and crannies on plaster walls, which are common in older Seattle homes.
• For exteriors, trendy darks like navy and charcoal buckle and peel a lot faster than light- or medium-value shades, Ducsick says.

LOCKPORT, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Niagara County Sheriff’s office says a Lockport woman was found to be driving impaired with children in her vehicle.
Thursday around 3 a.m., the Sheriff’s office says it was told by Cheektowaga police that a woman was intoxicated and headed to the Lockport area with two young children in the vehicle.
On Robinson Road, deputies stopped Juanita Darrell, 33, who they say had a two-year-old and an eight-year-old in the vehicle. Darrell was charged with felony DWI (Leandra’s Law) and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The children were released to family and Darrell was remanded to the Niagara County Correctional Facility to await centralized arraignment.

Alligator attacks Florida man outside front door
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WESH) – A Florida man is recovering after he was bitten by an alligator on his front porch.
Scott Hollingsworth said he heard something outside his front door Saturday night.
“Went outside and didn’t turn the light on,” Hollingsworth said. “Just got a step outside, and something grabbed me on the leg, started shaking violently.”
He thought it was a dog. It was an alligator.
“Six feet or 7 feet, I really didn’t get a good look at it. When I saw what it was, I stepped back in the house and closed the door,” Hollingsworth said. “Looked down and I had a large gash in the side of my leg, so I was trying to put pressure on it.”
The family said they were later told by wildlife officials that the alligator was more like 9 feet.
The family said they’ve seen alligators in a pond behind their house before, but never on their front step.
Florida Fish and Wildlife was called out, and the alligator that bit Hollingsworth was euthanized by a trapper, according to Daytona Beach Police.
Hollingsworth was taken to the hospital, where he had to get surgery on his leg.
“Fortunately, there’s no damage to my knee, which I was concerned about,” he said. “Everything’s going well.”
Hollingsworth did have plans to enjoy Daytona Bike Week, but he may have to wait until next year.
“Probably won’t be biking anytime soon, absolutely,” he said.

NEW YORK, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities Trinseo PLC (NYSE: TSE) between May 3, 2021 and March 27, 2023, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important June 20, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action commenced by the Firm.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Trinseo securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Trinseo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=13711 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 20, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Trinseo's Bristol, Pennsylvania plant had a troubled safety record while under prior ownership and continued to be unsafe after the Company acquired it; (2) defendants did not sufficiently disclose specific risks related to conducting operations at that plant; (3) operating a chemical plant with an unsafe history and presently unsafe operations exposed Trinseo to a heightened risk of a chemical spill or other adverse event; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Trinseo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=13711 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

To state the painfully obvious, the New Mexico Lobos lost the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in a 35-3 loss at Air Force last Saturday.
Badly.
And they own it.
Bryce Santana, defensive lineman, and CJ James, offensive lineman, wear the same jersey number (51). Tuesday, they were of the same opinion about that happened at the Air Force Academy.
“They were knocking us off the ball and doing what they wanted,” said Santana, a 6-foot-3, 275-pound sophomore from Los Lunas, who made his second career start against the Falcons.
Nor did James, a 6-4, 290-pound sophomore from Springfield, Massachusetts, bat away the question.
“(The Air Force defense) dominated the line of scrimmage,” he said.
On Saturday after the game, UNM head coach Danny Gonzales had said the Falcons “out-physicaled us.”
But Santana and James said that, from their standpoint, it was worse than that.
“As a team, we really just got out-toughed,” Santana said.
“They wanted it more,” James said.
The bright side, then – sort of: even if you can’t get more physical, you can get tougher.
And you can want it more.
“We’ve just got to come out here every day and try to get tougher,” Santana said. “We’ll have better success that way.”
The Lobos, James said, need to use the Air Force game “as a chip on our shoulder.”
Next up for UNM (2-8, 0-6 Mountain West Conference, loser of seven straight games) is San Diego State (6-4, 4-2), which has won four of its last five. The Aztecs, the visiting team, are listed as a 14½-point favorite.
With just two games left, the Lobos, especially underclassmen like James and Santana, could easily pack it in and start thinking about next year.
Next year, they said, has already begun.
“If we want to achieve the goals in the future, we’ve got to set (those goals) right now,” James said. “We’ve got to come out here every day and try our hardest.”
Santana, who played on state runner-up Los Lunas teams as a junior and senior, doesn’t want to get used to losing.
“We’ve got to make sure we get the win for the end of the season, end on a high note,” he said. “And if we do that, we can use it in the offseason to build for a good season (in 2023).”
THE OC, SEASON IV: Lobos coach Danny Gonzales on Tuesday did not rule out interim offensive coordinator Heath Ridenour as a candidate for the slot that came open with the firing of OC Derek Warehime on Oct. 9. But, Gonzales said, “Most likely, we’ll have an offensive coordinator (in 2023) who’s not here (now).”
Warehime became a first-time offensive coordinator when Gonzales hired him in January 2020. During his 2½ years and 25 games in the position, the Lobos averaged 16.7 points per game. In the four games since Warehime’s departure, the average is 7.75.
Of Ridenour, who is also UNM’s quarterbacks coach, Gonzales said, “I think Heath has done a really good job of managing what he stepped into. I think Heath is a really good football coach, and he’s done a good job with the quarterbacks.”
Gonzales said that since Warehime’s dismissal he’s had many contacts from coaches who are interested in the job.
A-ROD: Lobos punter Aaron Rodriguez has made the Ray Guy Award’s weekly “Ray’s 8” for the third time this season after averaging 45 yards for six punts at Air Force.
Only one of the six was returned, giving Rodriguez a net average of 43.8.
FORMER LOBO DIES: Gonzales said Jeffrey Blake, a linebacker who was in the program briefly last year, died recently in Georgia.
Blake had transferred to UNM from San Diego State, where he played for head coach Rocky Long, now the Lobos’ defensive coordinator, and for Gonzales, who was the Aztecs’ D-coordinator at the time.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge began questioning Tuesday a few of the hundreds of prospective jurors summoned for the trial of a man charged with killing eight people on a New York City bike path in a terror attack five years ago.
Sayfullo Saipov, 34, who has pleaded not guilty to charges that are eligible for the death penalty, was not in the courtroom for the start of the weekslong process of jury selection.
The government has not yet said whether it will seek the death penalty if Saipov, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, is convicted on terrorism charges.
He was charged with driving a truck into people on a bike path near the Hudson River in lower Manhattan on Oct. 31, 2017.
Saipov emerged from a truck to strike pedestrians with a pellet gun and a paintball gun and shout an Arabic phrase, “Allahu Akbar,” meaning “God is Great,” authorities said. He was shot by a police officer and arrested along the West Side Highway.
At a June 2018 court appearance, Saipov said through an interpreter that he cared about Allah and the holy war being waged by the Islamic State.
U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick told potential jurors that if they are chosen, they won’t return for opening statements until late October or early November. The trial could last until the end of January, he said.
Initially, he is questioning about 15 possible jurors a day among over 700 who filled out questionnaires in August. Some questions focused Tuesday on answers some jurors had given to questions about the death penalty.
One woman, for instance, said that she doesn’t believe in the death penalty, but that she would keep an open mind and make decisions based on the evidence and the facts.
“Personally, I don’t believe in it, but if I have to make a decision, I will,” she said.

Twitter’s relaunched premium service — which grants blue-check “verification” labels to anyone willing to pay $8 a month — was unavailable Friday after the social media platform was flooded by a wave of imposter accounts approved by Twitter.
Before billionaire Elon Musk took control of the social media platform two weeks ago the blue check was granted to celebrities, journalists and verified by the platform — precisely to prevent impersonation. Now, anyone can get one as long as they have a phone, a credit card and $8 a month.
After an imposter account registered under the revamped Twitter Blue system tweeted that insulin was free, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. had to post an apology. Nintendo, Lockheed Martin, Musk’s own Tesla and SpaceX were also impersonated as well as the accounts of various professional sports figures.
For advertisers who have put their business in Twitter on hold, the fake accounts could be the last straw as Musk’s rocky run atop the platform — laying off half the workforce and triggering high-profile departures — raises questions about its survivability.
There are now two categories of “blue checks,” and they look identical. One includes the accounts verified before Musk took helm. It notes that “This account is verified because it’s notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category.” The other notes that the account subscribes to Twitter Blue.
An email sent to Twitter’s press address went unanswered. The company’s communications department was gutted in the layoffs.
On Thursday, Musk tweeted that “too many corrupt legacy Blue ‘verification’ checkmarks exist, so no choice but to remove legacy Blue in coming months.”
Twitter Blue was not available on the platform’s online version, which said signup was only possible on the iPhone version. But the iPhone version did not offer Twitter Blue as an option
Twitter also once again began adding gray “official” labels to some prominent accounts. It had rolled out the labels earlier this week, only to kill them a few hours later.
They returned Thursday night, at least for some accounts — including Twitter’s own, as well as big companies like Amazon, Nike and Coca-Cola, before many vanished again.
Celebrities also did not appear to be getting the “official” label.

Beyond Phil: Other rodents that purport to ‘predict’ weather
(AP) - Rodents predicting weather trends. Why?
Just as fair a Groundhog Day question, though, is this: Why not? And more importantly, why should Punxsutawney Phil always get to, well, hog the press?
The spring-heralding (or spring-delaying) small animal has taken firm root in some swaths of American culture. And while Phil and his Pennsylvania ilk are the most celebrated, there is an astonishingly broad selection of other critters who have felt the need (or, at least, their handlers have) to put reputations on the line to “predict” meteorology in the dead of winter. Here we offer just a few.
Before we take a look, pause for a moment to remember one particular groundhog of yore — Charlotte, a stand-in for Staten Island Chuck, who predicted six more weeks of winter in 2014 before being famously dropped by then-New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio and dying a week later.
Do take aboard a disclaimer, though. This is merely a smattering of groundhoggery, offered up in no particular order. Please don’t be offended if your animal isn’t included. Maybe next year.
___
- JIMMY THE GROUNDHOG, Wisconsin: Caused controversy in 2015 after biting the mayor of Sun Prairie on the ear.
- MILLTOWN MEL, New Jersey: Event got caught up in problems with state law this year after the previous prognosticator expired.
- WOODY THE WOODCHUCK, Michigan: Emerged from a tiny green door in a small, human-made tree stump on Thursday.
- WOODSTOCK WILLIE, Illinois. Saw his shadow Thursday. Site of where the best-ever PR around the day — the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day” — was filmed.
- OCTORARO ORPHIE, Pennsylvania: Predicts from a home base in Quarryville in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Because of Pennsylvania Dutch folklore, which helped give birth to the Groundhog Day tradition, that region has several on the job, including Mount Joy Minnie and Dover Doug.
- STATEN ISLAND CHUCK, New York: Longtime predictor in the New York City borough. This year, the current mayor didn’t attend.
- BUCKEYE CHUCK, Ohio: Another Chuck, this one further inland. This year, according to reports, the Chuck used publicly was a stuffed one after an animal-rights group objected to how a live one had been treated.
- GEN. BEAUREGARD LEE, Georgia: Claims high accuracy rate. Contradicted Phil this year.

Which wireless printer is best?
Most activities have shifted online, such as email replacing written letters or news websites becoming more popular than printed newspapers. But that doesn’t mean our desire to print something out is totally gone.
In fact, the global pandemic resurrected the home printer from a seemingly bygone era. Some estimates peg printer sales at a 30% increase after many people moved toward working from home.
But it might be more challenging to find the right printer than you imagined. Between the inking technology, the number of connections and overall cost, there are several important considerations. However, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e Wireless Color All-in-One Printer is an excellent choice for overall printing jobs.
What to know before you buy a wireless printer
Printing technology
One of the most important considerations in choosing a wireless printer is its primary purpose. Ask yourself if you want to print more black and white documents, or do you want to produce high-quality photos. There are printers that are excellent for each purpose, and they can generally be divided into two technology types:
- Laser printers use dry toner and electrostatically charged dots. Because of their high accuracy in producing text, they are best used as document printers. They can print color images, but these aren’t as high-quality as those from inkjet printers.
- Inkjet printers use liquid to produce the image by spraying tiny drops of ink on the page. However, some wireless printers use thermal inkjet technology, which applies a dry, wax-based pigment. There are also inkjet printers that use a hybrid system, where one color tank is used for photos and a separate black ink tank is used exclusively for text-based documents.
Additional functions
It’s great to have a printer that connects wirelessly to all your devices for printing, but sometimes you want to do more. You should consider what you want to achieve, as single-function printers only do one job. However, multi-function printers can scan documents and make copies in addition to printing text and photos.
Cost of ink
There is, unfortunately, no way of getting around the expensive cost of printer ink. But that can be reduced by using refillable cartridges, which aren’t always endorsed by manufacturers. The printing technology also determines the average price you’ll pay, as a black ink cartridge costs $15-$40, while tri-color cartridges cost $25-$45.
On average, black printer ink is in the top 10 of the world’s most expensive liquids, costing around $2,700 a gallon. This is the primary reason why printers are so cheap but relatively expensive to maintain. Manufacturers often don’t make a profit on the sale of a printer and recoup any losses through sales of ink — which you need for your printer to work.
What to look for in a quality wireless printer
Printing resolution
As with most electronics, resolution determines visual quality. In printing, this is indicated by dots per inch — the more dots, the better the print.
However, as printing technology progresses, better techniques and software can produce great images without increasing the DPI. It’s an important aspect of a good-quality wireless printer, but it shouldn’t be the deciding factor.
Two-sided and borderless printing
Also known as duplex printing, two-sided printing is when the printer can produce text or images on both sides of a page. Auto-duplex printing means the printer can automatically turn the page over to print on the other side. Not only does this make your printing job neater, but you can also halve your paper use and reduce waste.
Multiple connections
Wireless technology is an excellent solution for a cable-free life, but it’s not always possible. For example, it will be incredibly difficult to connect a computer to a wireless printer if it doesn’t have a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi adapter.
In those situations, it’s best to have a wireless printer that supports additional connections, too. A traditional printer cable is the most common, but other printers let you insert a USB drive to access files or connect a mobile device through the same USB port.
How much you can expect to spend on a wireless printer
This largely depends on the manufacturer and additional functions. An entry-level printer suited for most home offices costs $80-$100, while a professional photo printer costs $100-$300.
Wireless printer FAQ
Can you print from a smartphone?
A. Yes, most wireless printers can connect and print from mobile phones. Your functionality might be somewhat reduced for editing, but the end result should be the same.
Do wireless printers come with ink?
A. Lots of printers ship with initial ink cartridges to get you set up and printing straight away. In most cases, though, these cartridges only have enough ink to print a few pages.
What’s the best wireless printer to buy?

The innovations from Solo Stove keep coming
Solo Stove has had an impressive run of new products and features over the past several months. The company has added color to its classic models, offered an innovative way to make pizza outdoors, expanded its line of fire pits and created accessories that elevate the user experience. Today, Solo Stove is offering customers a whole new way to fuel their three most popular fire pits: the Ranger, the Bonfire and the Yukon.
In this article: Solo Stove Ranger 2.0, Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 and Solo Stove Yukon 2.0.
What are wood pellets?
Wood pellets are tiny cylindrical-shaped items made of compressed wood fiber. They resemble hamster pellets and are used to start and sustain controlled fires. The fuel source is more eco-friendly than fossil fuels because it’s renewable. Wood pellets are also cost-effective to produce and burn hotter and cleaner for longer periods of time.
Solo Stove’s new addition to its fire pit family
While pellet grills and pellet stoves have been around for roughly half a century, it’s not as common to see fire pits that are fueled by wood pellets. Solo Stove’s latest addition, however, is a pellet adapter for its most popular fire pits. While this accessory is currently in the BestReviews Testing Lab for performance evaluation, there are some important aspects that can be shared right now.
How to use the Solo Stove Pellet Adapter
BestReviews has tested Solo Stove’s fire pits and found them to be “simply better than a normal fire pit.” Now, with the addition of this new accessory, users will have even greater flexibility with fuel types because there’s a Solo Stove Pellet Adapter for the company’s Ranger, Bonfire and Yukon fire pits.
The pellet adapter provides a smokeless, consistent and maintenance-free fire. All you need to do is add pellets until they’re 1 inch below the secondary burn holes on the interior of the fire pit. This will give you a fire that lasts approximately 2 hours. If you’d like to have a shorter burn, add fewer pellets. For reference, the Ranger holds 25 pounds of pellets at capacity, the Bonfire holds 45 pounds of pellets at capacity and the Yukon holds 77 pounds of pellets at capacity.
Expert tip: When choosing pellets for your Solo Stove, remember that hardwood pellets burn for slightly longer, while softwood pellets burn more quickly.
Solo Stove fire pits, pellet adapters and fuel
This portable fire pit is 12.5 inches high, 15 inches in diameter and only weighs 17 pounds (with the stand). It’s the most portable option that can be used with a pellet adapter.
Sold by Solo Stove, Amazon, Home Depot and Wayfair
This mid-size Solo Stove fire pit is 14 inches high, 19.5 inches in diameter and weighs 21.75 pounds (with the stand). BestReviews tested this model and was pleasantly surprised by its smokeless performance.
Sold by Solo Stove, Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Home Depot and Wayfair
If you need a large fire pit, the Yukon is what you should get. It’s 17 inches high, 27 inches in diameter and weighs 40.35 pounds (with the stand). While this model is portable, it’s better suited for backyard enjoyment.
Sold by Solo Stove, Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Home Depot and Wayfair
This is the brand-new accessory that just came out today. These adapters let you use pellet fuel for your favorite Solo Stove fire pit.
Sold by Solo Stove
If you’d like to purchase your fuel directly from Solo Stove, these premium wood pellets come in a 10-pound bag. They’re manufactured to have a comfortable high-heat burn and produce very little smoke and very little ash. There’s a two-bag purchasing minimum.
Sold by Solo Stove
Premium Wood Fuel Pellets (4-Pack)
If you’d like to save a little money, currently, Solo Stove is offering the option of purchasing a four-pack of fuel for less than you would pay when buying bags individually.
Sold by Solo Stove
Tower Patio Heater (Estimated Ship Date: May 22)
This tower heater can keep you warm for up to three hours when the hopper is filled to capacity. The gravity-fed system means no electricity is needed, while the built-in handles and wheels make for easy transport.
