(The Hill) – Almost three-quarters of millennials are living paycheck to paycheck, a percentage notably higher than other generations, according to a new report.
PYMNTS, which reports on financial news and data, and the financial services company LendingClub, collaborated to release a report titled “New Reality Check: The Paycheck-to-Paycheck Report,” to learn consumers’ financial situations, broken down into the different generations.
The survey found 60.1% of consumers were living paycheck to paycheck last month, including 73.2% of millennials. Meanwhile, 65.5% of Generation Z consumers and 64.2% of Generation X were living paycheck to paycheck, but only 49.5% of baby boomers and senior citizens were.
The most cited reason for all respondents who said they were living paycheck to paycheck was that their pay only covers basic bills, with 38.4% providing that reason.
More than a quarter of respondents also said they are in the situation because they need to pay for expenses for other family members and have “significant” debts to pay. About 30% of millennials cited each of these reasons, as well.
The survey found more than 70% of millennials live with a partner or spouse, and more than 60% live with children or grandchildren. Almost 80% earn more than half of their household’s income, while 20% earn all of it.
But the researchers did find that millennials appear to be learning to manage finances more effectively, as they had an average savings of $11,000 last month compared to $7,300 one year prior. The report states that millennials and other paycheck-to-paycheck consumers learn to handle finances through recessions and financial crises.
The report also found Generation Z consumers trending up, when it comes to living paycheck to paycheck. The almost-66% recorded last month is an 8-point increase from the year before. It states that many of these consumers are still establishing their careers and might be more likely to spend on discretionary purchases like eating out and entertainment.
Generation Z consumers are the most likely to cite discretionary spending as the reason they are living paycheck to paycheck, with 31% saying so. But almost 40% said their main reason for living paycheck to paycheck is that their salary only covers their basic expenses.
“With inflationary pressures expected to continue well into 2024, consumers of all generations remain tasked with adjusting their financial behaviors to be able to put aside savings and remain credit worthy,” the report concludes.
The resulted of the study were gathered from March 8 to 17 based on a census-balanced survey of 3,363 U.S. consumers.

Stocks closed broadly higher again Thursday as investors grew more optimistic that a slowing U.S. economy means the Federal Reserve can temper its aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation.
The S&P 500 rose 1.2% as more than 80% of the stocks in the benchmark index closed higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1% and the Nasdaq rose 1.1%. Smaller company stocks edged out the broader market, lifting the Russell 2000 by 1.3%.
The Commerce Department reported that the economy contracted at a 0.9% annual pace last quarter. The decline in the gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of the economy — followed a 1.6% annual drop from January through March. Consecutive quarters of falling GDP are an informal, though not definitive, indicator of a recession.
The GDP report signaled weakness across the economy. Consumer spending slowed as Americans bought fewer goods. Business investment fell. Inventories tumbled as businesses slowed their restocking of shelves, shedding 2 percentage points from GDP.
The Federal Reserve has made slowing the U.S. economy to tame the highest inflation in 40 years its goal by raising interest rates, most recently on Wednesday. The latest GDP report, along with other recent weak economic data, could be giving some investors confidence that the central bank will be able to ease up on the size of any further rate hikes in the months to come, analysts said.
“Sometimes bad news is good news,” said Megan Horneman, chief investment officer at Verdence Capital Advisors. “The Fed may not have to be as aggressive as once thought. That’s what investors are looking at.”
In a research note Thursday, Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. equity strategist at Credit Suisse Securities, said “Whether or not we are in a recession will be debated by academics in the months ahead. However, today’s report unequivocally reflects a substantial weakening in economic activity, and raises the likelihood of a dovish pivot by the Fed.”
The central bank raised its key short-term interest rate by 0.75 percentage points on Wednesday, lifting it to the highest level since 2018. The move sparked a broad market rally led by technology stocks that helped give the Nasdaq its biggest gain in over two years. The major indexes are now all on pace for a weekly gain, extending Wall Street’s strong July rally.
On Thursday, the S&P 500 rose 48.82 points to 4,072.43, while the Dow added 332.04 points to close at 32,529.63. The Nasdaq gained 130.17 points to 12,162.59. The Russell 2000 rose 24.69 points to 1,873.03.
Technology stocks and retailers, restaurant chains and other companies that rely on direct consumer spending helped lift the S&P 500 Thursday. Microsoft rose 2.9%, Target gained 3.1% and McDonald’s added 1.8% higher.
Communication services stocks were the only laggards. Meta Platforms fell 5.2% after the social media giant said its revenue fell last quarter for the first time ever, dragged down by a drop in ad spending.
In a busy week of corporate earnings reports investors have focused on what companies are saying about inflation and the impact rising interest rates are having on their business and customers.
Markets were spooked Monday after retail giant Walmart warned that its profits are being hurt by rising prices for food and gas, which are forcing shoppers to cut back on more profitable discretionary items such as clothing.
Stanley Black & Decker slumped 16.1% Thursday after the tool maker’s second-quarter results fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. The company noted that demand significantly slowed in May and June.
Oshkosh fell 6.2% after the company reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and lowered its 2022 profit guidance, citing lingering supply chain disruptions and inflation.
Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines shares rose 5.6% after JetBlue said it agreed to buy the budget airline for $3.8 billion to create the nation’s fifth largest airline. The agreement, which still requires regulator and shareholder approval, comes a day after Spirit’s attempt to merge with Frontier Airlines fell apart. Frontier Airlines vaulted 20.5%.
Bond yields were broadly lower. The two-year Treasury yield, which tends to move with expectations for the Fed, fell to 2.87% from 2.98% late Wednesday. The 10-year yield, which influences mortgage rates, fell to 2.68% from 2.74%.

Harbaugh: ‘I expect’ to be back at Michigan next season
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh says he expects to coach Michigan’s football team next season. He has posted a statement on the team’s social media accounts following reports of his interest in returning to the NFL. A person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity has said Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper had a conversation with Harbaugh about the team’s head coaching position. Harbaugh also has been mentioned as a possible candidate to coach in Denver and Indianapolis. Michigan is also awaiting word from the NCAA on an investigation into the football program regarding impermissible texts and calls to high school prospects during part of a COVID-19 dead period, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday.

GOP closing in on House win; Senate control up for grabs
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans were closing in Wednesday on a narrow House majority while control of the Senate hinged on tight Arizona, Nevada and Georgia races in a midterm election that defied expectations of sweeping conservative victories driven by frustration over inflation and President Joe Biden’s leadership.
John Fetterman’s success in flipping Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Senate seat lifted Democratic hopes of maintaining control of the chamber. The Georgia Senate race between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker was headed to a Dec. 6 runoff. Republicans found a bright spot in Wisconsin, where Sen. Ron Johnson’s victory raised the stakes of races where results were unclear and vote counting continued.
In the House, Democrats kept seats in districts from Virginia to Kansas to Rhode Island, while many in states like New York and California had not been called. But Republicans notched several important victories in their bid to flip the five seats needed to reclaim the House majority. In a particularly symbolic victory, the GOP toppled House Democratic campaign chief Sean Patrick Maloney of New York.
The race for control of Congress will determine the future of Biden’s agenda and serve as a referendum on his administration as the nation reels from record-high inflation and concerns over the direction of the country. A Republican House majority would likely trigger a spate of investigations into Biden and his family, while a GOP Senate takeover would hobble the president’s ability to make judicial appointments.
Democrats. though, saw candidates who prioritized protecting abortion rights after this summer’s Supreme Court decision overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade court decision, perform well. The party won governors’ races, winning in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — battlegrounds critical to Biden’s 2020 win over Donald Trump. But Republicans held on to governors’ mansions in Florida, Texas and Georgia, another battleground state Biden narrowly won two years ago.
Though neither party had yet secured a majority in either congressional chamber, the midterms — on track to be the most expensive ever — didn’t feature a strong GOP surge, uplifting for Democrats who had braced for sweeping losses. That raised questions about how big the Republicans could hope their possible majority might be.
“As we sit here I can’t, with 100% certainty, tell you who holds the House majority,” said Maloney whose defeat marks the first time since 1980 the head of the Democratic House campaign arm has been defeated. “If we fall a little short, we’re going to know that we gave it our all and we beat the spread.”
Democrats had faced historic headwinds. The party in power almost always suffers losses in the president’s first midterm elections, but Democrats bet that anger from the Supreme Court’s decision to gut abortion rights might energize their voters to buck historical trends.
In battleground Pennsylvania Democrats won the governorship to go along with their Senate victory. Fetterman had faced questions about his fitness for office after suffering a stroke but topped Trump-endorsed Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz. In the governor’s race Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro beat Republican Doug Mastriano, an election denier who some feared would not certify a Democratic presidential win in the state in 2024.
“I’m so humbled,” Fetterman, wearing his signature hoodie, told supporters. “This campaign has always been about fighting for everyone who’s ever been knocked down that ever got back up.”
In New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan defeated Republican Don Bolduc, a retired Army general who had initially promoted Trump’s lies about the 2020 election but tried to shift away those views closer to Election Day.
In top governor’s races, Democrats Tony Evers in Wisconsin, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Laura Kelly of Kansas and Kathy Hochul of New York all won. So did Republican incumbents including Brian Kemp of Georgia, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to run for president in 2024 and could be a major GOP primary challenger to Trump. The GOP was still hoping to knock off Democrat Tina Kotek in Oregon’s three-way governor’s race.
AP VoteCast, a broad survey of the national electorate, showed that high inflation and concerns about the fragility of democracy were heavily influencing voters. Half of voters said inflation factored significantly, with groceries, gasoline, housing, food and other costs that have shot up in the past year. Slightly fewer — 44% — said the future of democracy was their primary consideration.
Biden didn’t entirely shoulder the blame for inflation, with close to half of voters saying the higher-than-usual prices were more because of factors outside of his control. And despite the president bearing criticism from a pessimistic electorate, some of those voters backed Democratic candidates.
Biden spent the night calling Democrats to congratulate them on their wins and was holding a late Wednesday afternoon news conference at the White House.
Democrats were betting on a midterm boost resulting from voter outrage over the elimination of a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion. Voters in reliably red Kentucky rejected a ballot measure aimed at denying any constitutional protections for abortion. Voters in the swing state of Michigan voted to amend their state’s constitution to protect abortion rights.
The result mirrored what happened in another red state, Kansas, where voters in August rejected changing that state’s constitution to let lawmakers tighten restrictions or ban abortions. Voters in the swing state of Michigan, meanwhile, voted to amend their state’s constitution to protect abortion rights.
VoteCast showed that 7 in 10 national voters said overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was an important factor in their midterm decisions. It also showed the reversal was broadly unpopular. And roughly 6 in 10 say they favor a law guaranteeing access to legal abortion nationwide.
There were no widespread problems with ballots or voter intimidation reported around the country, though there were hiccups typical of most Election Days.
In the first national election since the Jan. 6 insurrection, some who participated in or were in the vicinity of the attack on the U.S. Capitol were poised to win elected office. One of those Republican candidates, Derrick Van Orden in Wisconsin — who was outside the Capitol during the deadly riot — won a House seat. Another, J.R. Majewski lost to Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
Trump lifted Republican Senate candidates to victory in Ohio and North Carolina. JD Vance, the bestselling author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” defeated 10-term congressman Tim Ryan, while Rep. Ted Budd beat Cheri Beasley, the former chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
Trump had endorsed more than 300 candidates across the country, hoping the night would end in a red wave he could ride to the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. After summoning reporters and his most loyal supporters to a watch party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Tuesday, he ended the night without a triumphant speech.
Still, the former president insisted on social media that he’d had “A GREAT EVENING.” Hours later, Palm Beach County issued an evacuation order for an area that included Trump’s club with Tropical Storm Nicole approaching.

Starbucks debuts 2 new drinks for summer
Introducing a new summer-themed cold brew and more
IN THIS ARTICLE:
- Starbucks Pink and Paradise Drink
- Starbucks Frappuccino Mini 2 Flavor Variety Pack
- Starbucks RTD Energy Drink
Just last month, Starbucks announced you could find more of your favorite beverages, such as the Pink Drink and the Paradise Drink, in the grocery aisle. It seems that move was to make room for two new delicious summer drinks. This week, the company announced it would greet summer with a Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino and White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew. Both are only available for a limited time.
What is Starbucks Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino?
This new minty summer Frappuccino is made with roast coffee, sweet chocolate and mint. For texture, Starbucks added in Frappuccino chips and topped it all off with mocha sauce, whipped cream and a sprinkle of crumbled chocolate cookie mint.
According to Maureen Matthews of the Starbucks beverage development team, “The new white chocolate mint sauce is subtle and creamy, and when paired with the crunch of Frappuccino chips and a swirl of rich mocha, is reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream poolside on a warm summer day.”
What is Starbucks White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew?
The White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew is a cold brew sweetened with macadamia syrup. It’s topped with white chocolate macadamia cream cold foam, and, to add texture, features a sparse sprinkling of toasted cookie crumbles.
Matt Thornton of the Starbucks beverage development team said in a press release, “When creating Starbucks White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, we were inspired by memories of fresh macadamia nuts on tropical vacations and the distinct flavor of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.”
Starbucks also has a new whole-bean mix
For people who want to take home whole-beans for brewing in your home coffee maker, this week Starbucks also announced its Green Apron Blend. The upbeat offering is a light roast with hints of Honeybell orange and graham crackers.
For every bag of Green Apron Blend it sells, Starbucks is designating $5 to the Caring Unites Partners Fund, a program that, according to the company, “provides grants to eligible Starbucks employees in times of need.” For a limited time, 10 cents per brewed cup of Green Apron Blend will also go to the fund.
Best Starbucks beverages that you can buy online
These are some of the best summer Starbucks offerings you can get without leaving your home.
Starbucks Pink and Paradise Drink
This 12-pack of summer drinks from Starbucks includes eight of the famed Pink Drinks and four of the equally satisfying Paradise Drinks. Both flavors are made with a refreshing blend of coconut milk and fruit juice.
Sold by Amazon
Starbucks Frappuccino Mini 2 Flavor Variety Pack
You get 12 mini cans of Starbucks Frappuccino Caramel and White Chocolate Mocha (six each) in this selection. The beverage is made from a mix of Arabica coffee beans and creamy milk.
Sold by Amazon
If you prefer an uplifting blast of refreshment in your summer beverage, these energy drinks are what you crave. The variety pack features strawberry lemonade, peach passionfruit and black cherry limeade.
Sold by Amazon
This pack of eight cold brew cans features two flavors: vanilla sweet cream and dark cocoa sweet cream. For maximum flavor, follow the included pouring instructions.
Sold by Amazon
Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink
For those who simply prefer the best, with no frills or additional flavors, this 12-pack of Frappuccino Coffee Drinks will satisfy.

LSU re-entered The Associated Press College Football poll at No. 18 on Sunday and No. 25 South Carolina earned a ranking for the first time in four seasons.
The first six teams in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank held their spots after either winning and not playing this past weekend.
Georgia is No. 1 for the third straight week, with No. 2 Ohio State gaining ground after it blew out Iowa. The Bulldogs, who were idle, received 31 first-place votes and 1,530 points, and the Buckeyes got 18 first-place votes and 1,513 points.
No. 3 Tennessee received 13 first-place votes. No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Clemson and No. 6 Alabama also held their spots, with the Tigers receiving a first-place vote.
No. 7 TCU moved up a spot after remaining unbeaten with a second-half comeback against Kansas State. Oregon jumped two spots to a season-high No. 8 after routing UCLA.
Oklahoma State is No. 9, followed by Southern California and Wake Forest in a tie at No. 10.
The Demon Deacons had never reached the top 10 in the AP poll until peaking last season at No. 10. Now they have done it two years in a row.
LSU, in its first season under coach Brian Kelly, handed Mississippi its first loss of the season in emphatic fashion and moved back into the rankings ahead of its game against Alabama on Nov. 5 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The Tigers were ranked for a week earlier this month before losing to Tennessee. They improved to 6-2 by outscoring Ole Miss 42-3 after falling behind by 14 in the first half.
South Carolina, under second-year coach Shane Beamer, is ranked for the first time since a one-week stint after the opening weekend of the 2018 season. The Gamecocks beat Texas A&M to improve to 5-2. They have not been ranked this late in a season since 2013.
POLL POINTS
LSU moving into the rankings before its off week ensures that Tigers-Tide will be a matchup of ranked teams for the first time since the SEC West rivals played a 1 vs. 2 game in 2019.
Alabama is off next week, too.
The Tigers backslid after winning the national title in ’19 and were unranked when they played the Crimson Tide each of the last two seasons.
That snapped a string of 14 straight seasons in which LSU and Alabama were both ranked when they played.
—LSU and Tulane are both ranked for the first time since 1998, though the Louisiana schools were heading in different directions when they overlapped that season.
For two weeks at the beginning of October the Tigers and Green Wave were in the Top 25, but LSU fell out the next week and finished 4-7. The Green Wave went on to an unbeaten season and finished No. 7.
OUT
—Texas is unranked again after blowing a second-half lead at Oklahoma State. The Longhorns fell to 5-3.
—Mississippi State once again had the misfortune of catching Alabama immediately after a Tide loss and was knocked out of the rankings. The Bulldogs did score a touchdown in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 2014. It came on the last play of the game.
CONFERENCE CALL
SEC — 7 (Nos. 1, 3, 6, 15, 18, 19, 25).
ACC — 5 (Nos. 5, 10, 16, 21, 24).
Big Ten — 4 (Nos. 2, 4, 13, 17)
Pac-12 — 4 (Nos. 8, 10, 12, 14).
Big 12 — 3 (Nos. 7, 9, 22).
American — 2 (Nos. 20, 23).
RANKED vs. RANKED
After having a total of 11 games matching ranked teams the past two weeks, the next slate is not quite so juicy.
—No. 2 Ohio State at No. 13 Penn State. Sixth straight meeting with both ranked. The Buckeyes have won the previous five.
—No. 19 Kentucky at No. 3 Tennessee. Last time the Wildcats and Volunteers were both ranked when they played was 1951.
—No. 9 Oklahoma State at No. 22 Kansas State. The second meeting out of 65 matchups with both ranked. The first was 2011, when the Cowboys won 52-45.

Physician leaders from Pieces, Amazon Web Services, and LeanTaaS share insights on how AI can maximize its impact for clinicians with natural language processing and natural language generation
DALLAS, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pieces, a healthcare AI company, recently convened an industry roundtable with physician leaders to reflect on the current state of AI and how it is supporting physicians, nurses, and care teams. The roundtable participants shared their perspectives from both practicing in the field and working with healthcare IT companies to drive much-needed change for healthcare professionals. The consensus was that while AI has made great strides in recent years, it is ready and able to make a deeper impact on the day-to-day work of clinicians, as well as to drive a strategic shift towards re-empowering clinicians to focus more on patients and less on administrative tasks.
The roundtable participants included:
- Ruben Amarasingham, MD, Founder and CEO, Pieces
- Mark Michalski, MD, Worldwide Head Healthcare and Life Sciences for AI and machine learning, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Jim Ritchie, MD, Consultant Renal Physician and CCIO at The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
- Pallabi Sanyal-Dey, MD, FHM, Director of Client Services, Inpatient Beds, LeanTaaS
"AI is beginning to help clinicians with the care and treatment of patients but we really are in the first inning here," said Dr. Amarasingham. "This roundtable discussion reflects the increasingly expressed hope that AI can bring back the joy and delight into the practice of medicine, enabling clinicians to spend all of their attention on the patient."
Key takeaways from the roundtable included:
- AI has the potential to vastly reduce charting and EMR friction that has bedeviled healthcare for decades: "One of the most exciting areas for me, coming from a clinical world, is how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will help reduce the burden on medical professionals," said Dr. Michalski. "Our providers have had a tremendously difficult two years, and beyond the stress of increasing patient volumes, they are also grappling with alert and documentation fatigue. An exciting near-term goal is to streamline repetitive charting activity with predictive AI – and the ultimate goal is to modernize clinical documentation and charting activities altogether. This will free up medical practitioners' time from critical yet repetitive tasks, and help them focus on patient care."
Dr. Amarasingham agrees. "There is an increasing focus on AI systems and methods that can take over the documentation and communication tasks physicians have been saddled with since the advent of EMRs. For example, systems can summarize a medical record or a complicated patient history, reducing the time a physician may have to read a record or prepare a summary." - AI and NLP can help cure healthcare's workforce crisis by driving efficiency and supporting retention: "The NHS has recognized that more staff are leaving the field than ever before and has committed to taking action," said Dr. Ritchie. "Staff retention is a top priority. If we can apply AI to enable a better staff experience that is less about administrative tasks and more about safely looking after patients, it will make a difference. Similarly, if AI can help clinicians to increase the efficiency of their work with automation, they will be able to look after more patients which is a win for both organizational efficiency and our staff's quality of their working experience."
- NLP is making a difference and will make an even bigger impact as it continues to evolve: "In the last 5 years we've seen a significant development in NLP and speech recognition technology," said Dr. Michalski. "We've seen huge step changes in the capabilities of AI in those models and technologies, and I think those are making the most progress.
Dr. Sanyal-Dey sees the promise of NLP as well. "I'm most excited about the NLP arena—and really fine- tuning that functionality so that it allows physicians to not spend their time reading non-relevant information but rather focusing on what they need to make clinical decisions. NLP can help assign role-appropriate tasks so that everyone's time is spent most efficiently. Case managers are doing true case management and nurses can do nursing," she said.
Dr. Amarasingham commented, "I've heard John Bohannon say: 'It used to be, software is eating the world; then ML is eating software; and now NLP is eating ML.' That certainly feels real to me when I look at healthcare AI. NLP, and now NLG, has great power for healthcare" - Some physicians are still skeptical but others are eager to embrace AI and experience the benefits: "Skepticism absolutely remains - whenever change is introduced, especially in healthcare, because of the way we do things," said Dr. Sanyal-Dey. "I have seen people who are quite positively taken aback and impressed by what AI and machine learning can do, but it will take time for everyone to get there. After all, there's an element of trust because it's new data, new recommendations, and healthcare workers must be able to trust what they see and do. The human element is needed to balance everything else that is being captured."
Dr. Amarasingham however also emphasizes that many physicians are ready to adopt AI. "My discussion with physician colleagues is that they are hungry for advances in AI to be applied to their work to make their lives easier and their patient's outcomes even better," said Dr. Amarasingham. "There is enormous complexity and information in medicine and many physicians would like tools that make it easier to do their work, manage routine items, and reduce cognitive overload similar to what they see their smartphones doing in their lives outside of medicine."
"So much of the discussion about AI has been focused on predictive modeling or risk scores but AI must also be about helping me to get work done rather than giving me another number to think about," said Dr. Ritchie. "Helping clinicians to get work done, like streamlining the clinical handover process, improves operational efficiency and much more. It's an easier fix than the strictly clinical use cases and more appreciated in many ways." - Healthcare organizations are finding new ways to accurately evaluate AI technology, like dedicated sandbox environments: "Most healthcare organizations are not adept at evaluating AI technology, "said Dr. Ritchie. "They often lack a structured approach to evaluating features and usability outside of foundational technical requirements like cybersecurity essentials. But standards still cannot inform whether an AI technology will work in your environment, if it is the right tool for your technology infrastructure, or whether the training group is representative of the population you serve. That's why we're exploring building a sandbox environment for AI vendor testing. Even though that is costly and time-consuming, it is important."
- The future is bright for healthcare AI in the near-term and for decades to come: I'm looking forward to technology like AI and machine learning allowing clinicians to spend their critical thinking time on a patients' medical issues," said Dr. Sanyal-Dey. "Giving clinical care the space that it needs, without the clutter of administrative tasks, will free up brain space to think about our patients better."
As for Dr. Michalski, he sees talking about AI less as the future goal. "I'm hoping for a day, not too far from now, where we're talking about AI and ML less because we'll be able to incorporate AI and ML seamlessly from a product and workflow standpoint. We will view AI as a feature of a successful product as opposed to being a talking point. When that happens, the natural and healthy skepticism of the physician world about AI and ML will fade away because the product works seamlessly and improves efficiency significantly. We've seen that happen in imaging, it's no longer an AI tool, it's an effective tool that helps improve patient care"
Dr. Amarasingham notes that future iterations of AI systems will become more anticipatory. "AI will become a clinically holistic assistant to physicians, like having a really great intern to help with things," he said.

Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen has all but guaranteed his second world title by taking the win on Sunday at the Italian Grand Prix, held at a packed Autodromo Nazionale Monza, which celebrated its 100th anniversary.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc came second, some 2.4 seconds behind Verstappen, in a race that finished with the safety car pacing the racers after a car had stopped on the track, while Mercedes-Benz AMG’s George Russell finished third, 3.4 seconds behind the winner.
Leclerc started the race on pole, with Verstappen back at seventh after taking a five-place grid penalty for use of a new power unit. Leclerc led immediately after the lights turned green, with Russell close on his tail. Meanwhile Verstappen was already up to fourth on the first lap and, with a brilliant move past McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo at the start of the second lap, already reached a podium position. He passed Russell on the start of the fifth lap, with the leader Leclerc at this point just two seconds ahead.
Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel came to a stop on lap 11, which meant the virtual safety car was released. Ferrari decided to pit Leclerc while Verstappen stayed out, now in the lead spot. Leclerc rejoined in third, behind Russell, but soon moved into second.
Verstappen eventually entered the pits for the first time at the end of lap 25 and rejoined in second, behind Leclerc. With his fresh tires, Verstappen was eating away at the gap until it was about five seconds, at which point Ferrari decided to pit Leclerc again. He rejoined the race in second with 19 seconds between him and Verstappen.
Little changed from this point but then on lap 48, Ricciardo came to a stop, requiring the safety car to be deployed. With Verstappen in the lead, followed by Leclerc and Russell, all three entered the pits to switch to fresh tires. However, Ricciardo’s car being stuck at the end of the track meant a lengthy extraction and thus the race finished under the safety car.
Notably, Dutch driver Nyck de Vries made his F1 debut on Sunday by filling in for Williams driver Alex Albon, who was out due to a case of appendicitis. The Dutch youngster qualified 13th but started the race at eighth thanks to the penalties for other drivers. He ended up finishing ninth, scoring two points in his maiden race. It means de Vries is now ahead of Williams’ Nicholas Latifi, who remains at zero points with most of the season behind him.
Following the weekend’s action, Verstappen’s points tally in the 2022 Drivers’ Championship has grown to 335 points. Leclerc is second with 219 points and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez is third with 210 points. In the Constructors’ Championship, Red Bull leads with 545 points, versus the 406 of Ferrari and 371 of Mercedes.
Following the conclusion of the Italian Grand Prix, the European rounds of the 2022 season are over. Teams now take a short break before returning in three weeks for the Singapore Grand Prix, the first time the race will be held there since 2019.
Based on the current standings, Verstappen could potentially take the title in Singapore if he wins the race and scores a bonus point for fastest lap, though Leclerc would have to finish ninth or lower.
Below are the full results from the 2022 Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix:
1) Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing
2) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari +2.446 seconds
3) George Russell, Mercedes-Benz AMG +3.405 seconds
4) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari +5.061 seconds
5) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes-Benz AMG +5.380 seconds
6) Sergio Perez, Red Bull Racing +6.091 seconds
7) Lando Norris, McLaren +6.207 seconds
8) Pierre Gasly, AlphaTauri +6.396 seconds
9) Nyck De Vries, Williams +7.122 seconds
10) Zhou Guanyu, Alfa Romeo +7.910 seconds
11) Esteban Ocon, Alpine +8.323 seconds
12) Mick Schumacher, Haas +8.549 seconds
13) Valtteri Bottas, Alfa Romeo +1 lap
14) Yuki Tsunoda, AlphaTauri +1 lap
15) Nicholas Latifi, Williams +1 lap
16) Kevin Magnussen, Haas +1 lap
NC) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren – DNF
NC) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin – DNF
NC) Fernando Alonso, Alpine – DNF
NC) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin – DNF

Add a stylish flair to your summer outing by pairing your bathing suit with a complementary cover-up
With sunnier skies and warmer temperatures, swimsuit season is here. Along with sunscreen and beach towels, another essential part of a pool outing is your swimsuit cover-up. As the name suggests, a cover-up provides a layer of protection from the sun and wind when you’re out of the water.
There are plenty of options when purchasing a swimsuit and cover-up. If chosen wisely, your cover-up can help keep you dry, refreshed, and cool throughout the day.
Shop this article: Ekouaer Beachwear Cover-Up, Moss Rose Swimsuit Kimono and Floerns Bathing Suit Cover-Up
Styling a swimsuit cover-up
Cover-ups are available in an assortment of colors, shapes and sizes. The most popular type of cover-up is tunics, which are loose fashion garments that typically end at or above your knees. Tunics are lightweight, breezy and effortless to slip into, making them an excellent choice to wear on a hot day in the sun. Thanks to their simplicity, users can style a classic, put-together style by wearing a solid-colored tunic with a pair of matching shoes.
However, if you’re looking to accentuate your swimsuit rather than hide it, consider a kimono cover-up. Kimonos, whose name originates from traditional Japanese formalwear, refers to a type of cover-up that has wide sleeves and a wraparound application. Their loose structure allows the users to showcase their swimsuits and paired accessories.

Teacher of the Week: Justin Van Wegen
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Justin Van Wegen is a history teacher and football coach at Farmville Central High School.
Van Wegen has been teaching in the Pitt County School system since 2020, but served in the Army and taught in Colorado before calling North Carolina his home.
Originally from California, Van Wegen joined the military after graduating high school. During his time serving, we took courses to get his teaching certification and taught courses while in the Army.
He says that many there are similarities when it comes to bringing a football team and uniting in a classroom, whether that’s on base or in a school.
Van Wegen loves teaching because he says seeing the “lightbulb moment” for his students or athletes is one of his greatest joys.
He was nominated by one of his athletes and students, Dalton Lee, who says Van Wegen “is a wonderful teacher and even better football coach!”

ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM)- It has now been thirteen months after Steuben County was impacted by flash flooding caused by Tropical Storm Fred. Today Regional lawmakers and local leaders called today on Governor Hochul to provide financial assistance to businesses and home owners to allow them to fully rebuild and recover from the flooding.
A press conference was held outside the Woodhull Youth Center, in downtown Woodhull where Senator Tom O’Mara and Assemblyman Palmesano were joined by community officials and community members.
A joint statement from O’Mara, Palmesano, Byrnes, and Giglio said: “We have done everything possible over the past year to work with Governor Hochul and her administration to secure and provide the direct state grants that would help Steuben County communities, businesses, and individual homeowners fully recover from last August’s devastating flash floods. Unfortunately, the bottom line is clear that Governor Hochul has turned her back on the communities and residents we represent.”
The regional and local leaders are calling on the Governor to “authorize the state to fully assume the local share of disaster-related costs and to provide direct state grants of $10,000-$25,000 help cover the costs of repairing and rebuilding for homeowners, and grants of $25,000-$50,000 for businesses. ”

(The Hill) – Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) is leading a resolution that aims to erase former President Trump’s second impeachment after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack and repeats numerous arguments to cast doubt on the integrity of the 2020 election.
A copy of Mullin’s draft bill obtained by The Hill said that the incitement of insurrection impeachment charge “contains a subjective account of that which transpired at the Capitol on January 6, 2021” and “omits any discussion of the circumstances, unusual voting patterns, and voting anomalies of the 2020 Presidential election itself.”
Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter, leaped into action to barricade doors to the House chamber during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, making his move to erase Trump’s impeachment after the attack particularly notable.
In the several paragraphs the resolution spends addressing the 2020 election, it says that Trump won 18 of 19 so-called bellwether counties that have traditionally corresponded with the winner of the presidential election and that Trump won more votes than he did in 2016. It mentions voting rules changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recount efforts being “vociferously opposed” by officials in some states.
The fifth-term congressman is running for Senate in Oklahoma, as Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) is retiring. Trump has not endorsed in that race, and Inhofe endorsed his former chief of staff Luke Holland.
Mullin is expected to introduce the bill on Wednesday. His office sent an email to House Republican congressional offices on Tuesday seeking support for the resolution, multiple GOP offices confirmed. The Daily Beast first reported Mullin’s planned introduction of the impeachment expungement proposal.
This is the second resolution from Mullin to expunge a Trump impeachment. He previously introduced a measure in March to expunge the Dec. 18, 2019, impeachment of Trump over his encouraging Ukraine to investigate the business dealings of Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, while discussing military aid to Ukraine. That measure got co-sponsorship from seven Republicans, including Rep. Ronny Jackson (Texas), Rep. Barry Moore (Ala.), and Rep. Greg Steube (Fla.).
- Manchin throwing a wrench into Democrats’ push for broader gun control
- Senate GOP resists calls for gun control after Buffalo shooting
The Senate failed to reach the two-thirds majority required to convict Trump both times he was impeached.
The new resolution also takes issue with the process of the impeachment after Jan. 6, noting a lack of hearings and its hasty release. The fact that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts did not preside over the Senate impeachment trial, it says, was “perfecting the entirety of the process as nothing more than an unconstitutional exercise in futility, moot, and fantastical political theater.”
Mullin declined to comment until after the official introduction of the bill.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian competitive climber Elnaz Rekabi received a hero’s welcome on her return to Tehran early Wednesday, after competing in South Korea without wearing a mandatory headscarf required of female athletes from the Islamic Republic.
Rekabi’s decision not to wear the hijab while competing Sunday came as protests sparked by the Sept. 16 death in custody of a 22-year-old woman have entered a fifth week. Mahsa Amini was detained by the country’s morality police over her clothing — and her death has seen women removing their mandatory hijabs in public.
The demonstrations, drawing school-age children, oil workers and others to the street in over 100 cities, represent the most-serious challenge to Iran’s theocracy since the mass protests surrounding its disputed 2009 presidential election.
Supporters and Farsi-language media outside of Iran have worried about Rekabi’s safety after she choose to compete without the hijab.
Rekabi on Wednesday repeated an explanation posted earlier to an Instagram account in her name that described her not wearing a hijab as “unintentional.” The Iranian government routinely pressures activists at home and abroad, often airing what rights group describe as coerced confessions on state television — the same cameras she addressed on her arrival back home.
Video shared online showed large crowds gathered early Wednesday at Imam Khomeini International Airport outside of Tehran, the sanctioned nation’s main gateway out of the country. The videos, corresponding to known features of the airport, showed crowds chanting the 33-year-old Rekabi’s name and calling her a hero.
She walked into one of the airport’s terminals, filmed by state media and wearing a black baseball cap and a black hoodie covering her hair. She received flowers from an onlooker, and then repeated what had been posted on Instagram that not wearing the hijab was “unintentional” and her travel had been as previously planned.
Rekabi described being in a women’s only waiting area prior to her climb.
“Because I was busy putting on my shoes and my gear, it caused me to forget to put on my hijab and then I went to compete,” she said.
She added: “I came back to Iran with peace of mind although I had a lot of tension and stress. But so far, thank God, nothing has happened.”
Outside, she apparently entered a van and slowly was driven through the gathered crowd, who cheered her. It wasn’t clear where she went after that.
Rekabi left Seoul on a Tuesday morning flight. The BBC’s Persian service, which has extensive contacts within Iran despite being banned from operating there, quoted an unnamed “informed source” who described Iranian officials as seizing both Rekabi’s mobile phone and passport.
BBC Persian also said she initially had been scheduled to return on Wednesday, but her flight apparently had been moved up unexpectedly.
IranWire, another website focusing on the country founded by Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari who once was detained by Iran, alleged that Rekabi would be immediately transferred to Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison after arriving in the country. Evin Prison was the site of a massive fire this past weekend that killed at least eight prisoners.
In a tweet, the Iranian Embassy in Seoul denied “all the fake, false news and disinformation” regarding Rekabi’s departure. But instead of posting a photo of her from the Seoul competition, it posted an image of her wearing a headscarf at a previous competition in Moscow, where she took a bronze medal.
Rekabi didn’t put on a hijab during Sunday’s final at the International Federation of Sport Climbing’s Asia Championship.
Rekabi wore a hijab during her initial appearances at the one-week climbing event. She wore just a black headband when competing Sunday, her dark hair pulled back in a ponytail; she had a white jersey with Iran’s flag as a logo on it.
Footage of the competition showed Rekabi relaxed as she approached the climbing and after she competed.
Iranian women competing abroad under the Iranian flag always wear the hijab.
“Our understanding is that she is returning to Iran, and we will continue to monitor the situation as it develops on her arrival,” the International Federation of Sport Climbing, which oversaw the event, said in a statement. “It is important to stress that athletes’ safety is paramount for us and we support any efforts to keep a valued member of our community safe in this situation.”
The federation said it had been in touch with both Rekabi and Iranian officials, but declined to elaborate on the substance of those calls when reached by The Associated Press. The federation also declined to discuss the Instagram post attributed to Rekabi and the claims in it.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry acknowledged the departures of the Iranian athlete and her team from the country without elaborating. On Wednesday, a small group of protesters demonstrated in front of Iran’s Embassy in Seoul, with some women cutting off locks of their hair like others have in demonstrations worldwide since Amini’s death.
So far, human rights groups estimate that over 200 people have been killed in the protests and the violent security force crackdown that followed. Iran has not offered a death toll in weeks. Demonstrations have been seen in over 100 cities, according to the group Human Rights Activists in Iran. Thousands are believed to have been arrested.
Gathering information about the demonstrations remains difficult, however. Internet access has been disrupted for weeks by the Iranian government. Meanwhile, authorities have detained at least 40 journalists, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have repeatedly alleged the country’s foreign enemies are behind the ongoing demonstrations, rather than Iranians angered by Amini’s death and the country’s other woes.
Iranians have seen their life savings evaporate; the country’s currency, the rial, plummeted and Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers has been reduced to tatters.

For poor schools, building repairs zap COVID relief money
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The air-conditioning gave out as students returned from summer break last year to Jim Hill High School in Jackson, Mississippi, forcing them to learn in the sweltering heat. By Thanksgiving, students were huddling under blankets because the heat wasn’t working.
Along the way, students dealt with broken showers in locker rooms, plumbing issues and a litany of other problems in the nearly 60-year-old school building.
“There’s been times we’ve been cold, there’s been times we’ve been hot,” said Mentia Trippeter, a 17-year-old senior. “There’s been times where it rained and it poured, we’ve been drowning. We go through it — we go through it, man.”
Like other schools serving low-income communities across the country, Jim Hill has long dealt with neglected infrastructure that has made it harder for students to learn. So when Jackson Public Schools received tens of millions of dollars in federal COVID relief money, it decided to put much of the windfall toward repairing heating and plumbing problems, some of which temporarily caused the school to switch to remote learning.
For poorer school districts, deciding what to do with that money has involved a tough tradeoff: work on long-term academic recovery or fix long-standing infrastructure needs.
All told, the federal government has allocated $190 billion in pandemic relief aid to help schools recover — more than four times the amount the U.S. Education Department spends on K-12 schools in a typical year, and with few strings attached.
An Associated Press analysis of school district spending plans from across the country found that the poorest districts in each state are far more likely than the richest districts to spend emergency relief funds on upgrading their buildings or transportation systems.
Jackson’s academic needs are no less pressing. The majority of students in the district learned virtually for a year and a half during the pandemic and math test scores plummeted by the equivalent of over a full year’s worth of learning, according to Harvard and Stanford’s Education Recovery Scorecard. But school officials didn’t want to miss a rare opportunity to fix infrastructure issues — some of which date back decades.
William Merritt, the school district’s chief of staff, said the funds gave the district the ability to “provide our students with tools that other students in well-to-do districts have.”
The data in AP’s analysis came from education market research firm Burbio, which reviewed how more than 6,000 districts across the country, representing over 75% of the nation’s public school students, planned to spend their federal relief money. The data covered the final and largest round of federal aid to schools, totaling $122 billion.
The AP found that school districts with the highest percentage of children living in poverty — the poorest 20% of districts in each state — were more than three times as likely as the wealthiest school districts to dedicate money to the construction of new buildings or classrooms. School districts with high levels of poverty were also more than twice as likely to include money for facilities repairs.
“The poor districts are doing it because they’re chasing after emergencies,” said Mary Filardo, executive director of the 21st Century School Fund.
Infrastructure is a prime example of long-standing inequities in school funding. While affluent districts can rely on local tax revenue to pay for major improvement projects such as installing state-of-the-art heating and ventilation systems, poorer districts that cannot often spend more money over time on short-term fixes.
In Texas, the Victoria Independent School District is also grappling with competing infrastructure needs and pandemic recovery. It plans to spend half of the $28.4 million it received in the last round of relief funds on academics, teacher retention and student supports that includes social-emotional behavior specialists.
But the other 50% of the money is devoted to improving air quality, such as updating ventilation systems. Superintendent Quintin Shepherd says he’d love to spend more on counselors and less on fixing broken air conditioners, but there’s no way kids can learn safely in a classroom that’s 100 degrees Fahrenheit).
“We got into education to improve educational outcomes and life expectations. It’s a hard position to have to make these impossible decisions,” Shepherd said.
Some have argued the money shouldn’t be spent on infrastructure projects, which can take years to complete and often with no immediate benefit to students. But the government only required 20% of the emergency relief funds to be spent addressing learning loss.
U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a recent speech that the relief funding was “intended to accelerate reopening and recovery, not to fill decades of underinvestment in education funding and support for students.”
Marguerite Roza, director of the Economics Lab at Georgetown University, said it was right for the government to allow a high degree of flexibility in how to spend the relief funds, rather than bogging districts down in red tape.
In Jackson, officials chose to spend over half of the $109 million the district received in the last round of federal funding on fixing the facilities in schools like Jim Hill.
Students at the school generally agreed that it needed infrastructure upgrades. Still, when asked what they would do if they were put in charge of spending that money for the district, some had bigger wishes.
“I believe we could hire more teachers to teach different types of subjects,” said Elijah Fisher, a 17-year-old junior. But, he admitted, first he would use the money to fix the drainage system around the school.
Overall, officials in Jackson are confident that they’re making the right investment.
Though much of the funding went toward infrastructure needs, the school district also bought laptops for every student and invested in after-school programming. Jim Hill now offers near year-round school with the summer term devoted to field trips and “learn by doing” experiences.
The school’s principal, Bobby Brown, said the money spent on infrastructure needs is very necessary — although not enough to address decades of inequity in the majority Black school system.
“As you listen to the students, and them having generations of families that have similar experiences,” Brown said, “this also sheds light on the types of investment that we have — or the lack of investment that we have in communities where people look like us.”

Expect a quiet and mild start to the week. It will be a bit cooler to the north as a front slides south. You can also expect some cloud cover and a light breeze.
Much of the moisture in the country continues to miss the Sunflower State. We will stay dry to start the new week.
After the front slides through and switches our winds out of the north, Tuesday will be a cooler day. After that, high temperatures will rebound to near 50 Wednesday and there will not be any major dips or rises as we stay near average.
When it comes to chances for moisture they will continue to be few and far between. An area of low pressure will work through the region and could bring some rain into the area late Wednesday through Thursday. We will also need to monitor the potential for some snowflakes to mix with the raindrops. This next chance for rain will favor Central and Eastern Kansas.
The system quickly pulls away by the end of the work week. Go ahead and start making those weekend plans now, it looks like it will be another good one.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say measles immunization has dropped significantly since the coronavirus pandemic began, resulting in a record high of nearly 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
In a report issued Wednesday, the WHO and the CDC said millions of children were now susceptible to measles, among the world’s most contagious diseases. In 2021, officials said there were about 9 million measles infections and 128,000 deaths worldwide.
The WHO and CDC said continued drops in vaccination, weak disease surveillance and delayed response plans due to COVID-19, in addition to ongoing outbreaks in more than 20 countries, mean that “measles is an imminent threat in every region of the world.”
Scientists estimate that at least 95% of a population needs to be immunized to protect against epidemics; the WHO and the CDC reported that only about 81% of children receive their first dose of measles vaccine while 71% get their second dose, marking the lowest global coverage rates of the first measles dose since 2008.
“The record number of children under-immunized and susceptible to measles shows the profound damage immunization systems have sustained during the COVID-19 pandemic,” CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement.
Measles is mostly spread through direct contact or in the air and causes symptoms including fever, muscle pain and a skin rash on the face and upper neck. Most measles-related deaths are caused by complications including swelling of the brain and dehydration. The WHO says serious complications are most serious in children under five and adults over 30.
More than 95% of measles deaths occur in developing countries, mostly in Africa and Asia. There is no specific treatment for measles, but the two-dose vaccine against it is about 97% effective in preventing severe illness and death.
In July, the U.N. said 25 million children have missed out on routine immunizations against diseases including diphtheria, largely because the coronavirus disrupted routine health services or triggered vaccine misinformation.

One Community Health OCH is helping newly eligible Oregonians enroll in and navigate Oregon Health Plan benefits, according to a press release. One Community Health’s Patient Care Advocate team is working to ensure all eligible community members are enrolled in a program called “Healthier Oregon.”
As of July 1, adults ages 19-25 and 55 and older are eligible for full Oregon Health Plan (OHP) benefits regardless of their immigration status, provided they meet income and other criteria. OHP covers health care services including medical, behavioral health, dental, prescriptions, tests, x-rays, hospital care and rides to appointments. The expansion in benefits is expected to help thousands of Oregonians who previously had only been able to access emergency care.
In 2021, the Oregon legislature passed Oregon House Bill (HB) 3352, which mandated affordable and accessible health care to all residents of the state and expanded Medicaid eligibility coverage.
“We are so excited that many of our community members can now access good quality, free health care,” said German Mondragon, outreach manager at One Community Health. “We want to make sure that everyone who is eligible knows that they can sign up, and that we’re here to help.” Mondragin’s team can help any community member enroll in Medicaid coverage and understand their benefits, not just OCH patients.
Oregon Health Plan benefits do not affect immigration status, as OHP is not considered public charge.
Those who have only had emergency Medicaid, also known as Citizenship Waived Medical (CWM), have been automatically enrolled in full Oregon Health Plan benefits. “Through talking to community members, we know that not everyone is aware that they now have full Oregon Health Plan benefits and have a lot more access to health care,” said Mondragon. “Our team is available to help anyone in the community understand their new benefits.” If a community member still does not qualify for the Oregon Health Plan due to income or other criteria, he recommends that they reevaluate their situation frequently. “Income qualification for the Oregon Health Plan can be evaluated on a monthly basis, because your financial situation can change quickly. If you find that your circumstances have changed, we recommend talking with us because you may now qualify for free health coverage.”
One Community Health also offers a sliding scale discount program for OCH patients who cannot qualify for Oregon or Washington Medicaid.
Gorge community members who would like assistance navigating their health insurance options, including the Oregon Health Plan and Washington Medicaid plans, can schedule an appointment with One Community Health’s Patient Care Advocate team either online at onecommunityhealth.org/medicaid or by calling 541-386-6380.

One Community Health (OCH) is a nonprofit, Federally Qualified Health Center with locations in The Dalles and Hood River. Formerly known as La Clínica del Cariño Family Health Care Center, Inc., it was founded in 1986

The late congressman and civil rights giant John Lewis will be honored with a postage stamp in 2023, the U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday.
The design for the stamp uses a photograph taken by Marco Grob for a 2013 issue of Time magazine. Lewis, then 73, wears a dark suit and blue tie and looks directly into the camera.
A 1963 picture of Lewis at a workshop on nonviolent protest in Clarksdale, Mississippi, taken by Steve Schapiro, is planned for the margin of the printed stamp sheets.
The Postal Service said the stamp “celebrates the life and legacy” of Lewis, who died at age 80 in 2020 from pancreatic cancer.
“Even in the face of hatred and violence, as well as some 45 arrests, Lewis remained resolute in his commitment to what he liked to call ‘good trouble,’” the agency said.
Lewis’ bloody beating by Alabama state troopers in Selma in 1965 helped galvanize opposition to racial segregation. By that time he was a major leader in the Civil Rights Movement, having helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and spoken at the March on Washington just before Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
Lewis went on to be elected to the Atlanta City Council and then to a long career in Congress, where he was frequently hailed as a moral leader.
U.S. Sen. John Ossoff, a Georgia Democrat and onetime intern for Lewis, wrote to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee last year requesting the stamp.
Other stamps announced Tuesday include ones honoring the Florida Everglades, skateboard art and children's book author and illustrator Tomie dePaola.

Which countertop wine racks are best?
Wine racks are designed with convenience, practicality and style in mind. Countertop wine racks, in particular, provide easy access to your desired bottle while taking up relatively little space.
Most countertop wine racks hold between four and 12 bottles. Material, color and design vary across wine racks, so it’s important to find not only one that meets your capacity needs but also complements your interior design as well.

Which dinosaur Squishmallow plushie is best?
Everyone at one point or another probably had a soft companion and friend to help them sleep at night. Stuffed animals and other comfort toys are the most comforting things a child can have when snuggling into bed and getting tucked in. This is one of the main reasons Squishmallows, a newly popular brand of stuffed animals, has become so popular in the last four years. Squishmallows are high-quality soft plushies that come in various characters, making them perfect for kids of all ages to play with and cuddle. Our top pick is Brody the Blue Dino.
What to know before you buy a dinosaur Squishmallow plushie
What are Squishmallows?
Squishmallows are extra-soft, marshmallowy friends that are made from polyester fiber. They were created by KellyToy in 2017 and became popular in 2020 after a few viral videos about them made their way into the public consciousness. Since their inception, more than 1,000 Squishmallow characters have been created, each with a unique name and story.
Types of Squishmallows
There are several different types of Squishmallows based primarily on size. The smallest kinds of Squishmallows will be on keychains. However, certain Squishmallows are only available in specific sizes based on something called their “squads.”
Squishmallow squads
Every few months, the Squishmallow team comes out with new collections of characters, affectionately named Squishmallow “squads.” The characters in each of these squads typically refer to a particular theme or design that they all share. For example, there is a fruit squad, which includes characters, such as a strawberry, watermelon and pineapple. There are also holiday squads, such as the Halloween squad and the Christmas squad.
What to look for in a quality dinosaur Squishmallow plushie
Specific dinos
Because every Squishmallow is unique in its design and name, finding one based on your favorite kind of dinosaur will be a good place to start. If your favorite dinosaur is a T-rex, then investing in either Chuey or Huey would be a good idea. Some Squishmallows are shaped after other dinosaurs, including triceratops, pterodactyls and more.
Size
Squishmallow can come in a variety of sizes. The smallest Squishmallows are Squishmallow chains which will be around 3.5 inches in height. The largest is 24-inches.
Stackable plushies
Stackable Squishmallows are 12-inch long friends that are perfect for putting into piles or stacks, hence their name. They are shaped less like spheres and more like tubes, making them ideal for placing on a bed or a shelf without worrying about them rolling away. Additionally, they still are made from the same ultra-soft polyester to give them the same level of softness as traditional Squishmallows.
How much you can expect to spend on a dinosaur Squishmallow plushie
Squishmallow prices can range from $5-$60, depending on the type of Squishmallow and how big it is. However, it is also essential to note that prices on websites like Amazon will vary based on popularity. The more popular a Squishmallow, the harder it may become to find it and the more expensive it will become.
Dinosaur Squishmallow plushie FAQ
Are Squishmallows machine-washable?
A. Yes, Squishmallows are machine-washable, but wash on cold settings only. For minor stains, using a simple stain remover can help as well.
Are there rare Squishmallow plushies?
A. Since its inception, there have been over 1,000 different Squishmallow creatures. Because some have been less produced than others, some exclusive and promotional plushies are rarer than others and entice collectors.

Health insurance and retirement plans are also critical to long term retention
ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of integrated human capital management software solutions for human resources, payroll, benefits, and insurance services, explores the challenge of employee retention and the key drivers motivating employees when making choices about their career paths. With 4.3 million people quitting their jobs as recently as May 2022, the survey of more than 600 U.S. workers provides insight employers can use when developing strategies for increasing retention.
The study—which was conducted in partnership with Future Workplace, an Executive Networks member company—revealed a gap between the employer perceptions and employee sentiments related to retention. When asked about factors (other than compensation and benefits) that contribute to their decisions to stay in with their company, 30% of respondents indicated that perceived job stability is their most important motivator and 60% ranked it in their top three. Feeling that the work was meaningful (45%) and having a passion for their field (33%) were the second- and third-most-popular answers, respectively. Reasons related to employers' brands (19%), corporate culture (19%), and products (13%) are the least important to employees, despite many companies' focus on these elements in their recruiting and retention efforts.
"Research shows that almost half of employees say they do not want to change companies within the next 12 months, but that is never a guarantee that those employees will stick around long-term," said Alison Stevens, director of HR Services at Paychex. "The Great Resignation may be slowing, but that doesn't mean companies can take a passive approach. Rather, they should use this opportunity to offer programs, perks, and benefits that meet employees' diverse needs."
Generation Influences Why Employees Work at Their Companies
While job stability and performing meaningful work ranked among the top two reasons respondents stayed at their companies, Baby Boomers (32%), Gen X (35%), and Millennials (31%) were significantly more likely to cite job stability as the most important reason than Gen Z (14%). Instead, Gen Z (18%) prioritizes meaningful work over job stability.
In addition, Baby Boomers (41%) said that passion for their field and industry are among the most important reasons to work at their company. Gen X (30%) focused on close relationships with coworkers, and Millennials (39%) cited opportunities for career growth. Gen Z (27%) said company growth and success were especially important to them.
Flexibility Reigns as Top Priority for Employee Retention
When asked what would make employees more likely to stay in their roles, respondents noted a desire for more flexible scheduling. Over one-third (35%) of all respondents ranked flexibility in work hours and schedule as the number one reason they'd be more likely to stay at their organization long-term, and 70% ranked it among their top three. It was significantly more likely for Baby Boomers (46%) to say that flexibility would make them more likely to stay at their organizations long-term than Gen X (38%), Millennials (31%), and Gen Z (24%).
Opportunities for career advancement, skills development, and internal job mobility, and increased commitment to work/life balance ranked second and third overall with 50% of employees putting each in their top three most-desired perks. A promise of better work/life balance was particularly compelling to financial services workers (29%) compared to those in leisure/hospitality (10%), manufacturing (11%), education/health services (14%), retail/trade/transportation/utilities (13%), and other professions (11%).
Keeping Employees Long-Term
Health insurance (64%) and retirement plans (62%) are the top two benefits shown to keep employees long-term. However, the research shows that the importance of mental health benefits is on the rise among younger generations. Gen Z (23%) is significantly more likely to say that mental health benefits would make them more likely to stay at their organization long-term than Millennials (14%), Gen X (5%), or Baby Boomers (3%).
Financial wellness benefits (41%), such as tuition reimbursement, professional development stipends, student loan repayment, and child-care support, ranked third among benefits most important for employee retention.
"Perhaps the most compelling takeaway from this study is the confluence of factors that affect employees' decisions to say with a company," said Jeanne Meister, the founder of Future Workplace and executive vice president at Executive Networks. "Each employee presents a different intersection of the demographics outlined in the study, and the only way to really know what will keep them in their position for the long haul is to ask. Even so, employers rarely do it. We found that only 29% of employees have had what we call a 'stay interview.' These open conversations with employees can give HR staff insights into the unique values of their employee populations to increase retention, even in a difficult labor market."
For more insights from this survey, please view the full research report.
About the Research
The research findings are based on a survey conducted across the United States between May 4, 2022, and May 11, 2022. For this survey, 604 full and part-time employees at small to mid-size businesses (20-500 employees) were asked general questions to understand employees' thoughts around retention. The study targeted employees who are between the ages of 18 years to 75 years old. This is a survey in a series of research reports administered by Future Workplace that will focus on the employee point of view and pinpoint top concerns, priorities, and trends facing the modern workforce.

Which ‘Supernatural’ Funko Pop is best?
If you spend your days wishing you could be out “saving people” and “hunting things,” then you’ll love “Supernatural” Funko Pops. Funko Pop is a pop culture company famed for its bobblehead-like action figures. Their line spans almost the entire movie and TV landscape — if there is a fandom for it, then you can bet Funko Pop has you covered.
“Supernatural” is no exception, and there are many great Pops inspired by the show. A top choice is the Funko Pop “Supernatural” Castiel with Wings Action Figure.
What to know before you buy a ‘Supernatural’ Funko Pop
A show spanning 15 years
“Supernatural” is a behemoth of a show that ran from 2005 to 2020, making it the longest-running science fiction show in the United States. The show follows brothers Dean and Sam Winchester as they traverse the country hunting all manner of supernatural creatures.
Common Funko Pops
Most Funko Pop lines have basic figures of the characters from a show or movie. These appear as they do most often in the show, wearing their regular clothes and perhaps holding a prop their character is known for. In the case of “Supernatural,” a common Pop of Dean Winchester has him wearing jeans and a button-down shirt.
Rare Funko Pops
The Funko Pops that are rare usually have some sort of special quality — an unusual prop, or being shown in a famous scene or costume. Some also have special coloring, such as being glow-in-the dark. A rare “Supernatural” Funko Pop is Sam or Dean with Baby.
What to look for in a quality ‘Supernatural’ Funko Pop
Main characters
While you should purchase whichever Funko Pop figure delights you the most, if you are going to collect, start by acquiring the main characters from the show. Sam and Dean Winchester appear in each of the show’s 320 episodes. Once you’ve gotten the brothers, the uncontested number three on the show is Castiel the angel. Another main character is Sam and Dean’s car, Baby.
Side characters
“Supernatural” has a huge cast of memorable side characters. Some that recur most often are Bobby, the brothers’ stand-in father figure, and Crowley, their wily demon nemesis. Another fan favorite is Charlie, an unsuspecting tech worker who got roped into the hunting world.
Funko Pops with props
The props that come with Funko Pops are a huge part of the fun. Make sure to pay attention to the details of each figure you consider. Funko Pop figures are around 4 inches tall, so these props can be fairly small.
How much you can expect to spend on a ‘Supernatural’ Funko Pop
More common “Supernatural” Funko Pops will cost $13-$30. The price for rare Funko Pops is pretty wide — you can pay anywhere from $40-$500.
‘Supernatural’ Funko Pop FAQ
Can I take my Funko Pop out of the box?
A. That’s up to you. Most collectors leave their Funko Pops inside the boxes because it protects them from dust and other damage. On the other hand, taking them out of the box makes them more fun to display. A good middle ground is to purchase clear cases to both protect and clearly display your figures.
What are some fun ways to display my Funko Pop figures?
A. Many collectors display their Funko Pop figures on some type of shelf. Floating shelves or clear shelving units are both attractive options. It is also popular to place figures removed from their boxes on bookshelves.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An Tampa traffic light did not survive the harsh winds of Hurricane Ian, according to police.
In an attempt to warn residents, the Tampa Police Department posted a video showing a traffic light falling off its line due to the heavy winds brought by Hurricane Ian.
The video showed the light swing for a bit before it crashed to the ground in front of police officers. The officers then took the broken traffic light off the road.
“There are live wires down,” the department wrote. “This is 𝙉𝙊𝙏 the time to venture out.”
While Tampa saw lesser effects from Hurricane Ian, the city did not escape being damaged.
Downed power lines caused several fires, according to the Tampa Fire Rescue chief, and police said they saw downed trees and lines across the city.
Tampa city officials urged residents to shelter in place as they expected worse storm conditions through Wednesday night.
Early Thursday morning, the National Weather Service downgraded Hurricane Ian to a tropical storm after its maximum sustained windspeeds fell to 65 mph.
The storm made landfall near Cayo Costa, Florida, just after 3 p.m. Wednesday as a powerful Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds measured at 150 mph. By 2 a.m. Thursday, it had weakened to a category 1 with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

RANT AND RAVE Rant to me for being so careless and dropping my wallet a few evenings ago on the M/V Tokitae ferry. Rave to the Washington State Ferries crew for finding it and calling me early the next morning after they spotted it. Double rave for the abundant natural beauty of the Salish Sea and amazing sunset which clearly distracted me as I took a photo.
RAVE and thank you to the person who found my credit card at a University Village grocery store and somehow tracked me down via phone to tell me they turned it in at the store. Card and absent-minded shopper are now happily reunited. Really above and beyond — feeling very blessed!
RANT to whatever is killing birch trees all over the city. Their graceful swaying leaves and shade are missed.
RAVE to the individual who interrupted their bike ride on the Burke-Gilman Trail to pull bindweed off a Douglas fir sapling.
RANT to dog owners who walk their friends in fur coats and bare paws on burning sidewalks in the summer heat.
RAVE to the folks who volunteered to be parade marshals at the Bainbridge Island Fourth of July parade! It was a success thanks to all of you!
RANT to dog owners who let their dogs poop on the sidewalks and don’t pick it up. That’s why I don’t walk at night for fear of stepping in dog poop. Clean it up!
RAVE to the loving and professional workers at an Issaquah senior center. One selects the best programs with clear goals for excellence; they even teach a mindfulness class for improved lives and connection (which is vital for seniors). Another is our supreme tech helper with wisdom, compassion and creativity for all devices. They even go to homes to help! They are so wise and know the frustrations seniors face with modern devices. And another who knows all and runs the reception desk with love, truth and competence, and helps in all areas all the time. All three of these employees rock in this world that has seemingly lost its values. Thank you immensely!
RANT to the humongous semis that continue to drive down Stroud Street to Green Lake Way. Stroud is a very narrow, residential street, barely wide enough (with cars parked on both sides) for two cars to pass. These semis are regularly using that street to reach Green Lake and recently, as one made a right turn onto Green Lake Way, it almost hit a postal carrier who was emptying the mailbox on the corner, forcing them to leap aside. These trucks are way too big for that street and have trouble making a right-hand turn onto Green Lake Way. Someone is going to be seriously injured!
RAVE to the person(s) who left us a beautifully framed vintage photograph of our house covered in snow. It was left at our front door without any note so we have no way to say thank you. Your kindness is beyond and we will cherish this for years to come.

I have read many of the articles written about the new “grand vision” for the West Side Market (“Should money slated for West Side Market be spent elsewhere?,” April 26). Why?
This property is historic. Why do they want to change the use?
I agree that lots of upgrades need to be made. I know from talking to vendors over the years that the electrical and plumbing need upgrades and that it needs to be done as soon as possible. But what’s with all the changes in use?

Hormel Foods team members commemorate MLK Day and Black History Month with an essay competition for elementary and middle school students from across the country
AUSTIN, Minn., Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Three winners of the 12th annual Hormel Foods MLK essay contest visited the company's World Headquarters today to read their winning essays to Hormel Foods team members. The students – Ava Pigrum from Sacramento, Calif., Andre Smith from Minneapolis, Minn., and Michael Htoo from Willmar, Minn. – claimed the top honors among hundreds of entries from 12 schools this year.
The Hormel Foods Black Leaders & Allies Advancing Cultural Knowledge (BLAACK) business resource group sponsors the essay competition for elementary and middle school students across the United States. Contestants are asked to write an essay with the theme, "What Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Means to Me."
"BLAACK is excited to bring our annual MLK Essay Contest back to our World Headquarters after several years of a hybrid format," said Cedric Moore, BLAACK president and senior customer executive for Retail sales at Hormel Foods. "The goal of this event is to promote the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by having the top three students from across the country share what Dr. King's legacy means to them. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is, 'No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.' Today, these students are displaying the excellence of Dr. King's legacy by sharing their stories."
The nationwide competition promotes the value and importance of cultural differences and provides a platform for celebrating diversity. The goals of the program are to promote Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy, encourage children to aim high, give them exposure to minority professionals in business and create a lasting partnership between Hormel Foods and local schools.
These three students honored Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy by putting into words what he means to them.
"I thank my ancestors who pushed through," said winner Andre Smith in his essay. "I thank Dr. King because he gave me and everyone the faith to become a leader and take the next step to keep his dream alive. There is still not justice for all, if it wasn't for Dr. King we would not know how to fix today's problems."

DENVER — Visitors to Ball Arena are reminded of the altitude challenge facing them as soon as they walk through the doors with a sign welcoming them to the “Mile High City, elevation 5,280 feet.”
“It would be easy for everyone to use that as an excuse, but we came out here early, got a good practice in and we were ready to go,” veteran defenseman Victor Hedman said Friday. “Now we had a few days more, but it’s not going to change the way we approach the game.”
Center Anthony Cirelli, whose job is to shadow speedy Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon, brushed it off entirely as a factor.
“Guys are going out there and we’re giving our all,” Cirelli said. “We just go out there and play, and I don’t think it affects the way we play or going out there and just executing our game plan.”
The Lightning have been in Denver since Monday, which is still less time than it took Josh Manson to get used to the elevation after being traded to Colorado from Anaheim. He described breathing on the bench after an extended shift as expecting his body to recover — but the recovery just didn’t come.
“It’s almost like the air that’s coming in isn’t really doing anything for you,” Manson said. “The practices felt tougher, everything just felt a little bit more difficult. But once you settle in and acclimate, then it makes a big difference, for sure.”
COGLIANO BACK?
The Avalanche could be getting one of their injured forwards back after veteran Andrew Cogliano was a full participant in practice and skated on the fourth line. Cogliano missed the series opener after injuring a finger blocking a shot with his right hand in the Western Conference final-clinching victory against Edmonton on June 6.
“Cogliano is kind of progressing,” coach Jared Bednar said. “He felt good enough to join the group today. We’ll see where he’s at tomorrow.”
Center Nazem Kadri is further away from returning. Kadri, who has been out since injuring his right thumb during the Oilers series, skated with a stick in his hands for a second consecutive day but again did not take any shots.
“For the last couple of days, he’s been getting better,” Bednar said. “But I don’t have an update on him besides that.”
SON NOT MUCH LIKE FATHER
To get to his first Stanley Cup Final, Josh Manson had to go through his father, an assistant coach with Edmonton. The Avalanche swept Dave Manson and the Oilers in the West final, and the two were able to enjoy a moment in the handshake line.
“Just father-son stuff,” Josh said. “We didn’t break down the game or anything. He was excited for me.”
Manson made an impact in Colorado’s Game 1 victory with a few crushing hits, and his style of play draws some similarities to his dad, who was also a big defenseman. Dave Manson is also one of the most penalized players in NHL history.
“Maybe you can’t get away with as many things today, but I try to take as much as I can from his game,” Josh said. “I think we both play a fairly simple game, from what I hear. The less the puck is on my stick, I think the better. I don’t know how it was for him, but the less it’s on my stick, the better, and the quicker I can get it into somebody else’s hands, I think that suits my game.”
Lightning coach Jon Cooper praised Manson for getting up the ice and contributing to Colorado’s attack in the series opener.
“He’s up in the rush — finding the holes and picking his spots to go,” Cooper said.

While the job post is lighthearted, the department is not looking for actual bear huggers. They are looking for conservation officers.
Did you ever want to hug a bear? Well, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is hiring professional huggers.
The job posting by the department on social media says applicants must have the ability to hike in strenuous conditions and have the courage to crawl into a bear den, although the department doesn't recommend crawling into bear dens.
The bear hugging by officers was conducted as part of a research project.
While the job post is lighthearted, the department is not looking for actual bear huggers, they are looking for conservation officers. Conservation officers enforce game and fish laws, educate about wildlife management, conduct wildlife surveys, and assist in wildlife relocation.
To become a Conservation Officer, the educational requirements include a Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited college or university in biological sciences, police science or law enforcement, natural resources conservation, ecology, or related fields, the job posting states.

CAMERON COUNTY, Texas (ValleyCentral) — An elementary school teacher was sentenced for receiving child pornography from the Phillipines.
Rico Giovanni Machietto was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for receiving child pornography, according to a release from Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz.
At the time, Machietto was an elementary school teacher. He admitted during his plea that he used Facebook to exploit minors from the Republic of the Phillippines.
After making contact with them, he would pay the girls to send them nude photos of themselves.
Investigators with Homeland Security conducted a search warrant on Machietto’s laptop and found 106 images of child pornography.
“The exploitation of children is heinous and I am thankful so many of our local, state, and federal partners are committed to bringing child predators to justice,” Saenz said in the post.
Machietto will serve 15 years of supervised release, be required to register as a sex offender and have restricted access to children and the internet. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 special assessment.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Eight Republican presidential hopefuls are in Iowa on Saturday to attend a political event hosted by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence are among those scheduled to appear at a rally at the state fairgrounds near Des Moines.
Former President Donald Trump, the leading GOP presidential candidate, will be notably absent. He has largely avoided any events that have him sharing the stage with his 2024 rivals.
DeSantis, seen as Trump's chief challenger, has been on a blitz of campaign stops across early-voting states, including Iowa, in recent days as he marked his first week as an official candidate.
The governor appeared with his family at the fairgrounds, where he signed autographs. One man asked him to sign a Bible and he thanked DeSantis “for standing up to Disney.” It was a reference to an ongoing feud with the company that started when DeSantis signed a ban on classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early school grades.
His wife, Casey DeSantis, who has become a frequent campaign presence, appeared by his side in a leather jacket with an alligator and an outline of Florida stitched onto the back, with the message, “Where woke goes to die,” a slogan that the governor has adopted.
Marie Andres of Des Moines signed a form, distributed by a super political action committee supporting DeSantis, to pledge to caucus for him early next year.
“Trump did a great job, but in my opinion, too much drama,” the 74-year-old said. She said she committed to the governor because she thinks DeSantis is “the best we’re gonna get.”
Her husband remains a staunch Trump supporter. “Believe me I’ve tried” to convince him otherwise, she said.
Pence, who has made frequent trips to Iowa over the past year, is not yet in the race but will launch his long-expected campaign at an event in Des Moines on Wednesday, according to two people familiar with his plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to share details before the official announcement.
Pence was the only White House hopeful participating in a morning motorcycle ride for charity that is a staple of Ernst's annual “Roast and Ride” event.
In an interview he gave to Newsmax before the ride, Pence said he and his wife, Karen, have spent much time praying and reflecting on how to serve the country next.
“We’ve come to a decision. I thought that there’d be no better place to announce our decision than right here in the Hawkeye state,” he said.
The former vice president and former Indiana governor appeared with Ernst and a group of about 200 motorcyclists at a Harley-Davidson location in Des Moines. Pence wore jeans, boots and a leather vest with patches that said “Indiana” and messages supportive of the military.
He and Ernst stood in the back of a pickup truck and briefly addressed the riders before setting off.
“One of the reporters just asked me if we’re showing up more in Iowa what our lane would be. I said I'm more worried about the lane we’re going to be staying in today,” Pence said.
Pence, wearing a white motorcycle helmet and with a big grin, then rode off on a cobalt blue Harley Davidson. The group planned to ride to the fairgrounds for the rest of the event, featuring barbeque and speeches.
He participated in the ride once before, in 2017.
Others presidential hopefuls expected to appear at the rally later in the day include former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, author Vivek Ramaswamy and conservative talk radio host Larry Elder.

Editor’s Note: Previous coverage on Dolly Parton above.
(WJW) — Dolly Parton is into goodies, and according to a social media post, she has a sweet tooth for cake, cookies and cornbread.
But that’s not all she had to say about her relationship with treats.
Rumors have been circulating online, saying the 77-year-old country superstar endorses keto oils and CBD gummies to prevent dementia, according to Country Living.
Parton shut down the rumors in a post featuring a bit of her trademark humor.
“Dolly Parton is not affiliated with, has not endorsed, and is not associated with any keto or CBD gummy product. She’s more the cake, cookie, and cornbread type,” the post signed by “Team Dolly” read.
It’s unclear how the rumors may have started.
Fans commented in support of the country music icon.
“You gotta love Dolly Parton,” said one Twitter user, while another quipped, “Henceforth, let it be known.”
Recently, Parton said she may not ever go on tour again, an announcement that shocked fans.
“I do not think I will ever tour again, but I do know I’ll do special shows here and there, now and then,” she told Pollstar. “Maybe do a long weekend of shows, or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.”
The “9 to 5” singer was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. She made headlines when she said she didn’t feel she had earned the right to be nominated, then later said she would “accept gracefully” if she was voted into the Hall.

'Skinamarink' is a low budget horror nightmare that slowly possesses
Canadian horror exercise requires patience and imagination to help fill in the blanks.
Not a whole lot happens in "Skinamarink." But that's by design: the microbudget horror exercise is built almost entirely on mood, and is structured to play out in viewers' heads, with them connecting the dots to their own childhood fears. Its mileage will vary depending on factors outside the realm of what is happening on screen.
And what is happening on screen is lo-fi, slow and challenging, and unfolds on what looks looks like a discarded videotape from 1982. Fixed images appear on screen for long, unblinking stretches. A light flickers at the side of the frame. Voices are heard, sometimes accompanied by subtitles because they're so muffled as to render inaudible, and people, when seen at all, are usually reduced to a pair of limbs. Everything is dark.
Still reading? "Skinamarink" is equal parts fascinating and frustrating, a triumph of aesthetics and atmosphere which lacks in necessities such as structure and payoff. It's an experiment, and as experiments go, it's successful enough to render writer-director Kyle Edward Ball a talent to watch. It's evident he's a master of mining existential terror from the most minimal of situations.
And make no mistake, "Skinamarink" is minimal. The setup, such as it is, finds two children at home, alone, at night. For a number of reasons, they can't sleep. Voices are speaking to them. Is it Mom? Is it Dad? Is it a demon? They shuffle between upstairs and downstairs, where a TV is playing old cartoons from the public domain, the kind that removed from context feel disturbing and unnerving. Strange things are afoot in the house, as doors, windows and even toilets appear and then vanish from view.
What is going on? "Skinamarink" is a nightmare, a child's nightmare, and it captures that feeling of being a kid, awake in the middle of the night, at an hour when things feel unfamiliar and more or less off and there may or may not be something underneath your bed, or in the other room, that wants to get you and is going to get you. It's only a matter of time.
Ball, who shot the film in his childhood home in Edmonton, forces the viewer to investigate the frame, looking for clues in the corner or the background, anything to help explain what is going on. Little emerges. His images unspool on what looks like a worn-out VHS tape, played too many times, with static dancing on screen like a swarm of microscopic bugs. The hiss and pops of old vinyl records make up the soundtrack.
Ball is clearly onto something, and a certain sect of horror cultists will lean heavily into "Skinamarink's" less is more style and approach. Yet for all its "Eraserhead" ingenuity and ominous "Blair Witch Project"-style creepiness — great signposts, both — "Skinamarink" is mostly build and little reward, like a rollercoaster that climbs the big hill but cuts out just before going over the top. But there's plenty of promise in that ascension, and there's every reason to believe there's more in store at Ball's amusement park. Can't wait for the next attraction.

Students supporting students year round at Canyon High School
CANYON, Texas (KFDA) - At Canyon High School, the extracurricular organizations take the cake on supporting and encouraging one another.
“We both love to promote everybody else’s will, the Ag left for state yesterday morning, and the band and our football teams were out there sending them off. The cheerleaders in January are going to compete their state competition and we’ll always do something for them to send them off. This board always likes to have that campus involvement,” said Todd Winfrey, head football coach, Canyon High School.
Here at Canyon High School, the football coach and the band director have a special bond and want their children and their organizations to support and respect one another.
“It’s just that special friendship and then it’s wrapped around two programs that do a lot together but even when we get out of football season we still like to represent our school and work together, all year long,” says Winfrey.
When asked about the bond that the organizations have, Winfrey said it starts with mutual respect.
“It’s a mutual respect amongst two programs but I think equal mutual respect just me and him the two directors of that deal. It just kind of starts with the community atmosphere we have here in Canyon where you just want everybody to be great and to support each other,” says Winfrey.
The band director agreed.
“We want to see success from all those organizations. We want to be there to back and to respect those organizations. We not only want that for our students, we model that as faculty members,” says Canyon High School Director of Bands Eric Wrath.
The phrase “play for the C” was initially used for just the football team, but has since been adopted all throughout the school. The phrase essentially means playing for something bigger than yourself, those who came before you, after you and for those that have helped you along the way; playing for this proud community and school.
“It’s about being all in and that really means all students all in all the time for every organization they’re a part of,” says Wrath.
The mutual support, respect and bond of organizations at Canyon High School doesn’t stop after football season is over.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a convenient seat and warming accessory for outdoor enthusiasts," said an inventor, from Saint Cloud, Minn., "so I invented the BACKPACK BUCKET HEATER. My design eliminates the need to stand or sit on the ground and it keeps your hands warm for various tasks like baiting a hook."
The patent-pending invention provides an effective heating system for outdoor enthusiasts. In doing so, it enables you to warm your hands or melt ice from a fishing line. It also ensures that a seat is readily available. As a result, it increases comfort and convenience.

On Wednesday, Herb Oedel posed for a photo with his wife, Ginny, at the slopes where he has been skiing for years. While this might be a common practice for ski enthusiasts, this was an exceptional picture.
Oedel is a 97-year-old man whose passion for skiing has spanned an unimaginable 90 years.
With his 100-year-old wife in attendance, Oedel said goodbye to one of his favorite activities as he completed his final run at Bradford Ski Area in Haverhill, Massachusetts. After the run, he posed for the memorable picture to mark the end of an era.
The ski area shared the photo on social media to commemorate the couple’s long-standing relationship with the mountain.
“Herb Oedel age 97 has been skiing 90 years and after his run today at Bradford has decided to retire his skiis,” wrote Bradford Ski Area. “He stops by Bradford every year with his wife Ginny who is 100 and his biggest supporter! Congratulations Herb it has been a GREAT RUN!!!”
Oedel, a native of nearby North Andover, Massachusetts, has been hitting the slopes since he was just 7 years old, in the 1930s.
Dennis Gauvin, Ski Patrol Director at the resort, said that Oedel had visited it regularly for the past few years. But, ahead of his final run on Wednesday, Oedel informed the staff it was his last day on the slopes.
“He’s decided to hang up his skis for good,” Gauvin told the Washington Examiner, describing Oedel as “mentally and physically very strong.”
Gauvin stated that Oedel chose to retire from skiing out of an abundance of caution. He had developed a warm bond with the resort’s personnel over time, receiving greetings from them every day he came with his wife in tow. However, Ginny didn’t join her husband on the slopes. She told Gauvin she tried it once but did not enjoy it as much as her husband did.
Herb Oedel has well deserved his place in ski history, and we wish him all the best in his retirement.

One hot day last June, Elmar Uy and his girlfriend, LJ Jennings, were gardening outside their home in Hudson, New Hampshire, when something strange happened. Everywhere Uy looked, he saw crescent-shaped spots.
Jennings thought Uy might be dehydrated. She got him some water.
Over the next few days, Uy's eyes became sensitive to light. He had headaches. He thought it might be an ocular migraine. He took to staying in dark rooms at home to avoid bright light.
Uy saw a neurologist who specializes in headaches. The doctor ordered several tests. Uy was still waiting for some results when July Fourth weekend rolled around.
He happily gathered with his sons, Junior and Brandon, and their kids at the family's holiday home in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Jennings was working and stayed in New Hampshire. After unpacking, the family caught up over chicken wings. At the kitchen sink, Elmar washed a glass for a drink. His eldest son, Junior, was by his side, ready to pour.
Elmar wanted to move his feet. When he looked down, they were moving but he couldn't feel them. He sat on a bench in the kitchen and told Junior to call 911. When the ambulance got there, Elmar was able to walk outside. In the ER, with both eyes open, Elmar's right eye vision shifted eight inches. He saw double. He pushed the panic button.
Doctors gave him medicine and his vision improved. They moved him to a critical care coronary unit, where years earlier his mother had worked as a charge nurse. Elmar passed a series of neurological tests including following the doctor's finger and closing his eyes and touching his nose. He felt fine.
Over four days, he had blood work, an ultrasound of his heart and a brain scan. The results of the scan showed a handful of white dots. Dead spots, the doctor told him. From his hospital bed he listened to the Fourth of July fireworks.
Elmar had experienced an ischemic stroke, which happens when a blood vessel that supplies the brain gets blocked. It happened in the back of his brain in an area in charge of mobility and vision. But doctors couldn't pinpoint an exact cause for the stroke.
At the same time, the neurologist Elmar saw in June finally called with results of the imaging recently done. It, too, spotted the blockage.
Elmar started medication to lower his cholesterol and help prevent another stroke. During the three-hour drive home, he was petrified he might have another stroke.
Elmar, a 57-year-old former Marine, had led an active lifestyle, doing cardio boxing twice a week. After the stroke, he began his recovery by walking. A mile took him 40 minutes and left him tired.
"Maybe in the back of my mind I didn't want to push my heart," he said. "I was more traumatized than anything the stroke did to me."
He changed his diet from frequent servings of fatty pork and white rice from his Filipino heritage to oats for breakfast and salads for lunch. Jennings made him kale chips and roasted vegetables. He stopped using tobacco.
A month after his stroke, Elmar and Jennings were on a walk when he couldn't catch his breath. His heart raced. At home, the crescent-shaped spots reappeared. Panic set in. They called 911. It could be plaque that broke loose, doctors said in the ER.
Elmar received an implantable loop recorder, a device that provides constant monitoring for abnormal heart rhythms. Doctors upped the doses of his medications.
As he approaches the first anniversary of his stroke, Elmar's body has recovered but his emotions are still frayed. He thinks in worst-case scenarios. He's hypervigilant about any abnormal feeling in his body – a tight neck, a sore muscle, excessive fatigue. During errands, he's often overcome with anxiety and wants to rush home. So he gets his daily steps inside at home.
His heart races to think he may not be around to see his grandchildren grow up.
"I'm in my head constantly," he said. "The hardest part is the mental piece."
When news broke in February that Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who had a stroke last May, was getting treated for depression, Elmar realized how much he related to Fetterman's story.
"You feel so hopeless sometimes and you can't just snap out of it or be happy," Elmar said.
He found the American Heart Association Support Network and shared his story. Then, he wrote a 5,000-word account of his experience.
"I'm depressed feeling hopeless that I won't make it through this year," he wrote. "Yet, I put on a brave outward face that makes me look OK and sound OK. I am not OK." Writing it felt "therapeutic" for Elmar. It also helped his friends and family understand his struggles.
"I didn't know how depressed he was until I read it," said Jennings, his girlfriend. "I can feel that he's afraid and it's definitely changed our lives."
Elmar and Jennings are hopeful that counseling will help. He plans to see a therapist at his local veterans hospital. The couple also are considering finding a local support group and a Bible study group.
In the meantime, Elmar leans on advice from a therapist he saw years ago as part of his Marine Corps discharge. When he can't control his thoughts or dark thoughts dominate, he asks himself the time and where he is.
"The answer is always, 'It is now and I am here,'" he said. "It immediately grounds you."

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Notre Dame junior Dylan Jacobs overcame a fall to win the 10,000 meters at the opening day of the NCAA Track and Field Championships on Wednesday.
Jacobs took the lead on the final lap and held off runner-up Alex Maier of Oklahoma State to cross the finish line in 28 minutes, 12.32 seconds. Northern Arizona's Abdihamid Nur was third.
“I went down and I was like, ‘Well, that happened. I got to get back up and finish now,’" Jacobs said about his tumble on the track at Hayward Field.
Southeast Missouri State senior Logan Blomquist won the hammer with a personal best of 240 feet, 8 inches (73.37 meters) in the final round.
“I was nervous, knowing it came down to one final throw and that was it," Blomquist said. "I’ve worked so hard for so long for this moment.
Tennessee freshman Wayne Pinnock won the men's long jump at 26-3 (8 meters). Texas senior Adrian Piperi won the shot put at 70-7 1/4 (21.52 meters).

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The City of Fayetteville removed antisemitic graffiti from the Razorback Greenway trail after it was reported by the Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas.
On Saturday, Fayetteville police received a report that the graffiti, including swastikas, was painted across their adopted section of the trail. The city of Fayetteville quickly painted over the areas, but it caused concern for the Jewish community in the area.
Leadership with the Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas issued the following statement:
We are saddened and disappointed that this occurred in our community. We condemn antisemitism and religious and racial prejudice in all its forms. These acts of hatred have no place in our community.
However, we also know that the Jewish community in Fayetteville and NW Arkansas have friends and advocates across the region. Our highest priority is the safety and security of all our community members. We are appreciative of the support we have received from the Fayetteville Police Department and Parks & Recreation department. We won’t let these acts of hate intimidate us and will continue to respond with acts of kindness.
Leadership, Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas
According to the most recent report by the Anti-Defamation League, there’s been a 34% increase in antisemitic incidents across the United States. The group is one of the oldest anti-hate groups in the country. Lindsay Friedmann, south central regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, said the incident is a sign there is rising hate in the community that the community should be addressing.
Friedmann said Saturday was known by some groups as the National Day of Hate. On that day, certain groups were set to target the Jewish community with hateful messaging. While it’s not known when the vandalism happened, Friedmann said it’s concerning that it was found on the National Day of Hate.
It doesn’t matter where or when the antisemitic graffiti was painted, according to Friedmann. She said it never should have occurred. She added it isn’t just the Jewish community that should speak up when incidents like this happen but the community as a whole.
“It doesn’t matter where on the trail it was found. That it was found is deeply concerning and troubling,” Friedmann said.
The Fayetteville Police Department received the report and is investigating the incident. Sgt. Tony Murphy said they see graffiti frequently but none of this nature. While he doesn’t believe there is a threat to the Jewish community, the police department will be looking into it.
“At this point, I haven’t come across any information that would lead me to believe that there’s any kind of threat, but we will continue to monitor the situation and investigate to the best of our ability,” Sgt. Murphy said.

- Non-GAAP[6] adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2023 was RMB306.5 million (US$44.6 million), compared with RMB153.9 million in the same period of 2022.

Mr. Justin Tang, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased to be off to a good start in 2023. We delivered solid operational and financial performance in the first quarter. The loan facilitation amount was in line with our guidance range and net revenue grew steadily both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. We also saw a decent improvement in our bottom line."
"We have seen signs of economic recovery in China, with increased consumer spending and better-than-expected GDP growth in the first quarter. However, as stated by the National Bureau of Statistics, 'inadequate domestic demand remains prominent and the foundation for economic recovery is not solid yet.' We saw increased competition in the personal finance industry with challenges in borrower acquisition. Against this backdrop, our first quarter performance is very encouraging and impressive thanks to our strong business resilience and execution."
"During the recent May 'Golden Week' holiday, Chinese tourist spending has reached pre-pandemic levels for the first time, according to government figures. Although the economic recovery is still in its early stages and there are concerns about the sustainability of the growth, we remain cautiously optimistic about the steady business growth this year as the government releases various measures to stimulate domestic demand and accelerate economic growth. Meanwhile, we are keeping a close eye on the regulatory side and have been consistently cooperating with the government on the industry-wide rectification work previously scheduled to be completed by June 2023. To date, no further guidance has been released by the Chinese government, but we do not rule out the possibility that new interpretations or updated implementation details of the rectification work will be released, which could have an impact on the industry and our business."
Mr. Kent Li, President of the Company, added, "During the first quarter, our total loan amount facilitated and originated reached RMB24.1 billion, increased by 57.9% year-over-year and 11.0% quarter-over-quarter. Despite intense competition, we continued to grow our premium borrower base. During the quarter, the number of active borrowers grew by 71.4% to more than 1.5 million. In addition, our asset quality remained stable sequentially and improved significantly year-over-year. Our delinquency rate for all outstanding loans past due for 31-60 days decreased to 1.05% as of the end of March 2023 from 1.31% a year ago. We do not expect our risk performance to fluctuate significantly for the remainder of the year. In addition, with sufficient credit lines in place, we continue to negotiate funding costs with our institutional funding partners and expect to see a positive impact in the near future."
Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, "We were pleased to deliver solid financial performance in the first quarter. Total net revenue was RMB1,004.9 million, increased by 13.1% year-over-year and 5.2% quarter-over-quarter. Our net income per basic ADS improved significantly to RMB5.94 from RMB2.52 in the same period of last year, reflecting our strong profitability and the impact of our ongoing share buyback program to enhance shareholder value. Going forward, we will continue to diversify our channels to reach more borrowers, while maintaining our strategy of profitable growth with credit risk management at its core. We expect to deliver steady quarterly improvement in both our top and bottom lines throughout the year. To create more value for our shareholders, we are taking steps to be able to pay dividends in the future."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income, (ii) adjusted net income per basic ADS, and (iii) adjusted net income per diluted ADS, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments and impairment losses on long-term investments.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Melissa Miller doesn’t mind knocking on doors despite temperatures hovering not far from the freezing mark.
That’s why the Jehovah’s Witness said she is happy to return to rapping on doors after nearly 30 months of not being able to perform her faith’s hallmark of spreading the word.
“It was just like: whaaaat?” Miller remembers thinking when church leaders put door-to-door ministry on hold as the pandemic was taking hold. Instead Witnesses found other ways to spread the word, including over the phone, video streaming and letter writing.
“It was hard because I like to talk to people face-to-face,” said Miller, who would tag along with her parents when they went door-to-door spreading the word.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have been knocking on doors for more than a century. Something that hadn’t stopped through world wars, financial collapses or even the Spanish Flu pandemic in the early 1900s — that is until March 20, 2020, when the denomination suspended its public ministry worldwide because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was big when we suspended our door-to-door ministry,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
In addition, Hendriks said they also proactively ceased public meetings at its congregations and annual worldwide gatherings.
“Until we understood this disease, we wanted to be able to say, no one contracted the virus and died as a result of our indecision,” he said.
Through the different virus variants, Jehovah’s Witnesses held virtual conventions around the world and found other ways to spread the word. It wasn’t until April 1, 2022, that Witnesses resumed in-person meetings and on Sept. 1, they restarted their door-to-door ministry, which Hendriks said is the most effective way to build a relationship with a person.
“This has been a real learning experience for us as an organization and as individuals,” he said. “But also faith strengthening because we realize that the decisions that were made proactively probably saved thousands, if not tens of thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ lives.”
Returning to the doors
For many of the faithful, their time away from door-to-door ministry was a difficult one.
“You just wondered, what are you going to do now?” recalled McKell Miller, who is married to Melissa Miller. Like his wife, McKell Miller would go door-to-door with his parents and siblings spreading the word.
So when it stopped, the Millers pivoted and started writing letters and telephone witnessing.
“But it was a challenge,” he said. “Because that personal connection, as we were used to experiencing, it was different. It was gone.”
So it was like a celebration when they were told they would return to house-to-house ministry.
“Honestly in my heart, this is what I grew up doing,” he said. “So being able to get back in touch with people in the community, seeing their faces, their smiles or if they are happy or sad, it just felt good to able to be in touch and to let them know that we are still here.
“That Jehovah’s Witnesses care about you.”
McKell Miller said the return to house-to-house ministry caused some sense of nervousness after being away from people and with the virus still circulating.
“As much as we were looking forward to it, there was an anxiety level that I hadn’t felt in a while,” he said. “Just rusty, but once we had our first conversations with folks it just faded away.”
Witnesses are being careful as they return to door-to-door ministry. For example, they keep an eye on increases and decreases in COVID-19 cases. This helps them decide whether or not to accept a person’s invitation into their homes.
As the Millers visited houses on Wilmington’s Fifth Street during a bitter cold December morning, they were joined by Diego and Ashley Martin. The couple, both fluent Spanish speakers, hit up some other homes on the street.
The Martins said their return to house-to-house ministry has been positive.
“Even people who don’t always anticipate our visits are normally looking to talk,” Ashley Martin said. “I feel like people just want to have that connection. They want to be able to talk to someone.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The test couldn't have been much easier — and Facebook still failed.
Facebook and its parent company Meta flopped once again in a test of how well they could detect obviously violent hate speech in advertisements submitted to the platform by the nonprofit groups Global Witness and Foxglove.
The hateful messages focused on Ethiopia, where internal documents obtained by whistleblower Frances Haugen showed that Facebook's ineffective moderation is "literally fanning ethnic violence," as she said in her 2021 congressional testimony. In March, Global Witness ran a similar test with hate speech in Myanmar, which Facebook also failed to detect.
The group created 12 text-based ads that used dehumanizing hate speech to call for the murder of people belonging to each of Ethiopia’s three main ethnic groups — the Amhara, the Oromo and the Tigrayans. Facebook’s systems approved the ads for publication, just as they did with the Myanmar ads. The ads were not actually published on Facebook.
This time around, though, the group informed Meta about the undetected violations. The company said the ads shouldn't have been approved and pointed to the work it has done “building our capacity to catch hateful and inflammatory content in the most widely spoken languages, including Amharic.”
A week after hearing from Meta, Global Witness submitted two more ads for approval, again with blatant hate speech. The two ads, again in written text in Amharic, the most widely used language in Ethiopia, were approved.
Meta did not respond to multiple messages for comment this week.
“We picked out the worst cases we could think of," said Rosie Sharpe, a campaigner at Global Witness. "The ones that ought to be the easiest for Facebook to detect. They weren’t coded language. They weren’t dog whistles. They were explicit statements saying that this type of person is not a human or these type of people should be starved to death.”
Meta has consistently refused to say how many content moderators it has in countries where English is not the primary language. This includes moderators in Ethiopia, Myanmar and other regions where material posted on the company's platforms has been linked to real-world violence.
In November, Meta said it removed a post by Ethiopia's prime minister that urged citizens to rise up and "bury" rival Tigray forces who threatened the country's capital.
In the since-deleted post, Abiy said the "obligation to die for Ethiopia belongs to all of us.” He called on citizens to mobilize “by holding any weapon or capacity.”
Abiy has continued to post on the platform, though, where he has 4.1 million followers. The U.S. and others have warned Ethiopia about “dehumanizing rhetoric” after the prime minister described the Tigray forces as “cancer” and “weeds” in comments made in July 2021.
“When ads calling for genocide in Ethiopia repeatedly get through Facebook’s net — even after the issue is flagged with Facebook — there’s only one possible conclusion: there’s nobody home," said Rosa Curling, director of Foxglove, a London-based legal nonprofit that partnered with Global Witness in its investigation. “Years after the Myanmar genocide, it is clear Facebook hasn’t learned its lesson.”

(The Hill) – Former President Trump in a new interview asserted presidents don’t have to go through a formal process to declassify sensitive documents, and can do so “even by thinking about it.”
The former president’s comments came as he has repeatedly argued that he declassified secret and top secret documents he took with him to his Florida home after leaving the White House in 2021 amid a Justice Department investigation into his handling of classified materials.
“There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified.’ Even by thinking about it.”
“There can be a process but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president, you make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified,” Trump added. “I declassified everything.”
Though presidents have broad power to declassify records, doing so sets off a chain of events, as the intelligence agencies that manage such records must take additional steps.
Trump and some of his allies have been insistent that the former president declassified all of the documents that he took with him upon leaving the White House. The FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago estate last month after a January search found dozens of classified, secret and top secret documents.
Trump’s attorneys in a filing last week repeatedly noted that Trump had the power to declassify records but stopped short of saying he actually did so despite a month of the former president airing the excuse.
The Justice Department responded by pointing out that Trump’s legal team was insinuating, but not fully asserting, that Trump had declassified the documents.
Trump told Hannity that the General Services Administration and other White House staff were involved in packing up boxes at the end of his term with pictures, newspaper articles and other materials.
The GSA, however, says its role in the transition phase for the outgoing president and vice president includes IT support, financial management, parking, furniture, vehicles, office equipment and administrative support.
“The GSA also works with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), as necessary, to provide support to the former Presidents in the establishment and maintenance of their libraries,” the organization states on its website. “These services are only provided in the event of a change of Administration.”

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Gonzaga stayed on the attack, particularly on the glass and in spite of a bevy of turnovers. The result was a takedown of No. 6 Louisville — and the second straight upset of a top-10 team to end the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Brynna Maxwell scored 21 points while Eliza Hollingsworth added 18 to help the Bulldogs beat the Cardinals 79-67 in overtime on Saturday night, a win that came immediately after Marquette’s win against No. 3 Texas.
And just as the Golden Eagles in their game, the Bulldogs marked the highest-ranked opponent they had beaten in program history.
“Gosh, they battled,” Gonzaga coach Lisa Fortier said.
And as Fortier noted, it wasn’t always pretty.
Gonzaga shot just 38.9% through regulation and won despite committing 29 turnovers, which led to 28 points for Louisville (3-1). But they got production throughout the lineup, from Maxwell’s four 3-pointers and Kaylynne Truong’s strong overtime to a dominating showing on the glass.
On the other side, it was a performance that left Cardinals coach Jeff Walz fuming.
“The problem is we just didn’t have all five competing at the same time,” Walz said. “One person jogs up the floor and it’s their person that scores. then the next possession, they’ll run hard but then somebody else won’t do their job. And that’s a recipe for disaster.”
Hailey Van Lith scored 16 of her 18 points after halftime for the Cardinals, though she made just 5 of 20 shots on the night. That fit the overall picture for the Cardinals, who shot 39.1% for the game and made just 3 of 16 3-pointers.
BIG PICTURE
Gonzaga: The Zags lost to the Cardinals on the road in the second round of last year’s NCAA Tournament. The preseason West Coast Conference favorite made a statement with this win, the kind that could land it in the next AP Top 25.
“I think coming from last year’s (game), we knew that Louisville is a very pressure-heavy team,” Hollingsworth said. “And we knew we needed to go through the contact, not shy away,”
Louisville: The Cardinals had outrebounded all three of their opponents, but they were beaten 50-31 on the glass. That led to a 24-3 edge in second-chance points for the Zags.
“It’s Year 16 here for me, and I don’t know if we’ve ever been outrebounded as bad as we were tonight,” Walz said.
TRUONG’S OT
Truong surpassed her season scoring average (8.7) in the overtime, scoring 10 of her 16 points.
She banked in a score in the paint on an aggressive drive to open the overtime, then came through with a driving score along the right baseline while being fouled by Olivia Cochran for a three-point play and a 67-61 lead with 3:30 left.
GIDDY
As the final seconds ticked away, Gonzaga’s McKayla Williams couldn’t wait to celebrate with her team and headed toward the bench to jump around while the players there held back for the horn.
Once it sounded, they ran out to mob each other with hugs, then went skipping off the court toward the locker room by the dejected Louisville players slowly making their way off the court.
TIP-INS
Before Saturday, Gonzaga’s top win against a ranked opponent had come against No. 8 Stanford in December 2018. … Gonzaga made all four of its shots in the overtime along with making 10 of 13 free throws. Louisville shot just 2 for 10. … The Zags made 20 of 23 free throws for the game. … Louisville had 19 defensive rebounds to Gonzaga’s 18 offensive boards, with Walz noting his team managed to snag just one more of Gonzaga’s missed shots. … Van Lith had four steals, four assists and three rebounds to offset her shaky shooting night.

WASHINGTON — “It's not nice to fool Mother Nature,” went a famous ’70s commercial catchphrase. But we learn in “The Flash” — the much awaited, long gestated new DC Studios offering — that it’s Father Time one musn’t cross. Because trying to change the past can really mess you up when you get back to the future and realize you’ve inadvertently changed that, too.
But of course, we already knew that. We learned it from Marty McFly, immortalized by Eric Stoltz in “Back to the Future.”
Relax! Of course it was Michael J. Fox, though Stoltz was initially cast in the role. But in “The Flash,” Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) realizes just how badly he’s messed up the space-time continuum when he arrives back from changing the past — just one teensy little thing, really — and learns that in his current world, Fox never replaced Stoltz. “I’ve destroyed the universe,” he frets in a laugh-out-loud moment.
If only the whole film, directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Christina Hodson, felt this breezily clever and entertaining. Alas, the final act bogs down in what feels like an endless, generic CGI battle and a kitchen-sink resolution that leaves one feeling just a little exhausted and somewhat confused.
We first meet Barry — Miller, whose naturally jittery energy is an excellent fit here — on the way to his job at a forensics lab, stopping to order breakfast. But then he gets a call from Alfred — yes, you know the one — needing his help in an imminent disaster. Barry turns into his red-suited alter-ego but desperately needs calories for fuel, begging a bystander for her candy bar.
Soon, in a rescue scene that’s audacious but also a little absurd, Barry is saving falling newborn babies from a collapsing hospital while desperately eating snacks. He also saves a maternity nurse — then suggests she seek the help of a mental health professional to cope with the trauma, noting “the Justice League is not very good at that yet.”
And now we must take a moment to consider the elephant in the room. Because it sure seems the movie wants us to.
If you’ve been reading about Miller lately, you know about the talented actor’s offscreen troubles. They’ve apologized for past behavior and said they’re undergoing mental health treatment.
So it hardly seems the line to the nurse is a coincidence, even if much of the trouble emerged during lengthy post-production. Could this be a subtle plea for empathy, so we can then appreciate what is, certainly, a compelling performance from Miller as not one, but two lead characters (why two? We’re getting to that.)
In any case, that line also sets a tone for many self-referential quips and sequences in a film that seems to thrive on, well, referring to itself and its roots. In this, the first standalone “Flash” film, the lineage of past Batmans, Supermans and associated characters is evoked early and often through surprise cameos. At one moment it feels like we're watching an Oscar memorial reel; it garnered reverential applause at the screening I attended.
But back to the plot: Barry needs food, but what really powers him is the tragic murder of his mother (Maribel Verdu) in their home when he was a boy. Even worse, his father (Ron Livingston) is imprisoned — unjustly — for the crime.
Barry, desperate to prove his father innocent, suddenly discovers a way to go back in time (technical details are sparse, but it partly involves running REALLY fast) and comes up with a grander idea still. What if he could go back and prevent the whole sequence of events that led to his mother's death? His friend and current Batman (the Ben Affleck version) tells him what a bad idea this is.
But Barry goes back anyway and makes a change, and what do you know — oops! – a younger Barry shows up (you may have seen them both in the trailer.) And now, for reasons too tough to explain within our word limit, Barry senior is potentially stuck in the wrong universe, with Barry junior.
What's more, villainous General Zod (Michael Shannon) has returned, threatening total destruction. The Barrys need help. That’s how we find them with Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne, analyzing a pack of spaghetti.
It’s Keaton, having a fine time in his return as a graying, reluctant superhero, who explains the whole multiverse thing, showing with a deft manipulation of pasta strands how the past can’t change without the future changing. It all ends up with a gaggle of crazy spaghetti drowning under a shower of tomato sauce: a hot mess.
And we haven’t had time to mention Supergirl — newcomer Sasha Calle, who doesn’t get much to do before the battling starts, but at least provides some minimal female presence. Kiersey Clemons as a vague love interest has even less to do.
At one point in this 184-minute drama, I started wondering if I was seeing a bunch of disco balls trying to destroy each other. But maybe this was a moment of sensory overload.
Is a sequel in the offing, if the stars align offscreen as well? They'd have to come up with even more cameos, more surprises. Speaking of surprise: it's probably never a good idea to leave while the credits are still rolling.
But again, we already knew that.
“The Flash,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release, has been rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for sequences of violence and action, some strong language and partial nudity.” Running time: 184 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

After three police officers stood by as a man drowned in a Tempe, Ariz. lake last month, questions have arisen about why law enforcement officials on the scene didn't enter the water to try to save him.
"I'm drowning," Sean Bickings, 34, said to officers, according to a transcript of police body camera video captured during the encounter.
"Okay, I'm not jumping in after you," one unnamed officer says.
Moments earlier, police had been talking to Bickings after being called to the scene for a domestic disturbance.
As they were putting his and his companion's names into a database to check for warrants, Bickings entered Tempe Town Lake and began to swim away. He quickly became distressed in the water, and as he pleaded for help, officers continued to speak with him but didn't go in the lake.
According to the Tempe Officers Association, the union that represents city police, Tempe police officers receive no training in water rescues and don't have the equipment necessary to help drowning victims.
"Attempting such a high-risk rescue could easily result in the death of the person in the water and the officer, who could be pulled down by a struggling adult," the group said in a statement.
Instead, police officers are trained to call the fire department or get the Tempe police boat or both, which the association said is what the officers in this case did.
"The drowning of Sean Bickings in the early morning of May 28 is a human tragedy," the group added. "Our grief mirrors our community's grief. No one wanted this incident to end as it did."
The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, which sets police academy curriculum in Arizona and certifies police officers, confirmed that applicants are not required to show swimming proficiency and there is no basic training related to water rescues.
The Tempe Police Department is conducting an investigation of Bickings' death, which will be reviewed by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The Scottsdale Police Department is also investigating the police response.
The three officers who responded to the call and were present when Bickings drowned are on "non-disciplinary paid administrative leave" as the investigations unfold, which officials say is standard practice.

GREENWOOD, Miss. (AP) — A South African teenage farm worker who suffocated to death after falling into a grain storage bin would still be alive had a Mississippi soybean farm followed federal workplace safety standards, inspectors with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration determined.
Bare Bones Farms, located in the Mississippi Delta town of Greenwood, violated federal law by failing to ensure workers wore full-body harnesses connected to a lifeline before four of them were engulfed by soybeans inside a storage bin in an October 2022 incident, the labor department said Wednesday. A 19-year-old South African farmworker, whose body wasn’t recovered for five hours, suffocated.
“Well-known safety standards that protect people from the grave dangers of working in grain bins have been in place for decades, and yet Bare Bones Farms jeopardized the lives of its employees by ignoring federal regulations,” said OSHA Area Director Courtney Bohannon in a Wednesday news release. “As a result, the life of a young man who traveled more than 8,500 miles to work in the U.S. ended tragically.”
The 19-year-old, two co-workers and their supervisor had climbed into a storage bin to unclog it, but the soybeans inside shifted and trapped them in seconds. Emergency responders cut a hole in the storage bin’s side to rescue the workers, but it took them five hours to find the deceased 19-year-old. The other workers survived.
In addition to the teenager, two other workers involved in the incident were South African citizens brought to work in Mississippi under the H-2A temporary agricultural workers visa program.
OSHA investigators also discovered the company failed to train employees on general safety precautions for entering storage bins, the labor department said. The agency has proposed over $90,000 in penalties for the violations.
A representative for Bare Bones Farms could not immediately be reached by phone for comment Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate moved toward a vote Wednesday to repeal the 2002 measure that greenlighted the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, which would end more than 20 years of authorization for U.S. presidents to use force in that country and return those war powers to Congress.
The Iraq War ended years ago, and repeal would not be expected to affect any current military deployments. About 2,500 U.S. troops remain in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government and assist and advise local forces.
The bipartisan legislation would also repeal the 1991 authorization that sanctioned the U.S.-led Gulf War.
Lawmakers in both parties are increasingly seeking to claw back congressional powers over U.S. military strikes and deployments, and some lawmakers who voted for the Iraq War two decades ago now say that was a mistake.
People are also reading…
Iraqi deaths are estimated in the hundreds of thousands, and nearly 5,000 U.S. troops were killed in the war after President George W. Bush’s administration falsely claimed that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
“Americans want to see an end to endless Middle East wars,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, adding that passing the repeal “is a necessary step to putting these bitter conflicts squarely behind us.”
Supporters, including almost 20 Republican senators, say the repeal is crucial to prevent future abuses and to reinforce that Iraq is now a strategic partner of the United States. Opponents say the repeal could project weakness as the U.S. still faces conflict in the Middle East.
“Our terrorist enemies aren’t sunsetting their war against us,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who is at home recovering from a fall earlier this month and will miss the vote. “When we deploy our servicemembers in harm’s way, we need to supply them with all the support and legal authorities that we can.”
While it is expected to easily pass the Senate on Wednesday, the repeal’s future is less certain in the House, where 49 Republicans joined with Democrats in supporting a similar bill two years ago. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has suggested he is open to supporting a repeal even though he previously opposed it, but Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has indicated he would like to instead replace it with something else. It is unclear what that would be.
Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Todd Young, R-Ind., said they believe a strong bipartisan vote would send a powerful message to Americans who believe their voices should be heard on matters of war and peace. The two men have been pushing to repeal the measures for several years.
“I think that the more time goes by the more people realize that a whole lot of mischief can happen with authorizations that just stay on the books,” Kaine said. “And so it’s been slow, but I’ve always felt like I was picking up more bipartisan support every year, slowly."
President Donald Trump’s administration cited the 2002 Iraq war resolution as part of its legal justification for a 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, but the two war powers resolutions have otherwise rarely been used as the basis for any presidential action.
A separate 2001 authorization for the global war on terror would remain in place under the bill, which President Joe Biden has said he will support.
The October 2002 votes to give Bush broad authority for the Iraq invasion were a defining moment for many members of Congress as the country debated whether a military strike was warranted. The U.S. was already at war then in Afghanistan, the country that hosted the al-Qaida plotters responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, something Iraq played no part in.
The Bush administration had drummed up support among members of Congress and the American public for invading Iraq by promoting what turned out to be false intelligence claims about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. And after the initial March 2003 invasion, American ground forces quickly discovered that the allegations of nuclear or chemical weapons programs were baseless.
The U.S. overthrow of Iraq’s security forces precipitated a brutal sectarian fight and violent campaigns by Islamic extremist groups in Iraq. Car bombings, assassinations, torture and kidnapping became a part of daily life for years.
Some GOP senators opposing the repeal, including McConnell, have raised concerns about recent attacks against U.S. troops in Syria. A drone strike last week killed an American contractor and wounded five troops and another contractor, then a rocket attack wounded another service member. Iranian-backed militants are believed responsible for the attacks.
Biden and his administration have argued that the repeal would not affect any response to Iran. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both said at a Senate hearing last week that American troops are authorized to protect themselves and respond to attacks, including under Article 2 of the Constitution, which gives the president the authority to protect troops.
The pushback from McConnell comes amid a growing rift in the Republican Party on the U.S. role in the Middle East, with some echoing Trump’s “America First” message to argue against military intervention abroad. Other Republicans are concerned Congress is giving too much leeway to the president in matters of war.
“I think a lot of lessons have been learned over the last 20 years,” said Young, the Indiana senator who is the lead Republican sponsor of the repeal. He said that those supporting the legislation “want to ensure that the American people can hold us accountable, rather than delegating those important authorities to an executive branch and then lamenting the unwitting wisdom of the executive branch if things don’t go well.”

ST. LOUIS, June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Turing Medical Technologies, Inc. (formerly NOUS Imaging, Inc.), a leading neuroimaging software company, announced today at ISMRM 2023 in Toronto the launch of FIRMM-pix: a novel in-bore visual biofeedback module to actively reduce head motion during brain MRI. A complement to Turing's existing FIRMM software, FIRMM-pix may further improve image acquisition efficiency and data quality.
MRI scans have long been plagued by motion distortions, often leading to compromised image quality. However, Turing's FIRMM software revolutionizes the field by monitoring head motion during MRI providing continuous actionable feedback to technologists. This invaluable information enables technologists to determine the optimal point at which sufficient usable data has been collected, ensuring that only high-quality images are obtained. FIRMM empowers technologists to make informed decisions in real-time, saving time and resources.
Turing's latest innovation, FIRMM-pix, integrates seamlessly with FIRMM and takes the solution a step further by providing visual biofeedback to the patient about their head motion. FIRMM-pix combines biofeedback and gamification to create an immersive in-bore experience that coaches patients to stay still, addressing motion at its source. The premier game, Puppy Dreams, features licensed movie content and a comforting dog as the patient's reliable guide, keeping them informed about any movements during the scan. Say goodbye to anxiety as this game's content and biofeedback work harmoniously to help patients successfully complete the scan while staying calm and still. FIRMM-pix is the only visual biofeedback game solution for reducing head motion.
Radnet CTO, Dr. Lawrence Tanenbaum, emphasizes the importance of this innovation: "Motion-induced induced image degradation remains a significant weakness of brain MRI, making it difficult to acquire a scan quickly. With a solution like FIRMM-pix, we have the potential to conduct high-fidelity scans without compromising important data and without the need for anesthesia. Moreover, its patient-centric design fosters active participation, making the scanning process more comfortable and inclusive for patients."
"This platform expansion further propels Turing in the direction of synthesizing the next generation of MRI related data analytics and processing through safe, patient-centric software innovation," says Turing President and CEO, Ken Bruener. "By offering the FIRMM-pix solution, we believe we can not only address challenges with image quality, but we can expand the utility of MR in the advanced neuroimaging field."
About Turing Medical
Turing Medical Technologies, Inc. (formerly NOUS Imaging, Inc.) is a leading neuroimaging company developing unique solutions in the MR space. Future applications are poised to revolutionize how MR images are acquired and utilized in adult and pediatric populations.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A large fire burning in the tundra of southwest Alaska continued to move toward an Alaska Native village on Saturday, but fire managers said its pace had slowed.
The East Fork fire, which was started by lightning May 31, remained about 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the Yup’ik village of St. Mary’s, a statement from the Alaska Wildland Fire Information said.
The fire was listed at 169 square miles (438 square kilometers) in size, more than double the last estimate. The increase was attributed to better mapping.
Tundra is a treeless area covered with low-lying plants, and the fire was being fed by extremely dry grass and brush filled with alders and willow.
There were 180 personnel working the fire, with more crews expected to arrive Monday.
There are no mandatory evacuation orders, but about 700 residents of St. Mary’s and the nearby community of Pitkas Point were told to prepare in case they needed to leave.
There have been voluntary evacuations by residents, as well as others living in the nearby communities of Mountain Village and Pilot Station.
Early Saturday morning, firefighters completed a defensive burnout on the west side of the East Fork of the Andreafsky River to protect equipment and structures near a fish weir — a fence placed in flowing water to direct the movement of fish. The weirs have traditionally been used to catch fish but also can be used for management and research of a fish stock, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s website.
St. Mary’s, a subsistence community, sits on the bank of the river. Firefighters were also working to protect structures on the east side of the weir, as well as fortifying a fire line a half mile (800 meters) outside St. Mary’s. Aircraft have also been dropping retardant along that line.
Boats have been used to shuttle firefighters to protect structures upriver of St. Mary’s. Crews also have also been working to protect Alaska Native properties.
Hot, dry conditions were expected to continue Sunday, but a low pressure system moving in from the west could bring favorable conditions and a chance of showers by Monday. It could also bring a wind switch that would help push the fire away from the villages, officials said in the statement.
St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point, which is situated to the south at the confluence of the Andreafsky and Yukon rivers, are located about 450 miles (724 kilometers) west of Anchorage.

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey's Fawn Weaver Guest Edits the Spring Issue, Celebrating Diversity in Tennessee Whiskey and Paying Tribute to the Three Biggest Producers in the State
ALEXANDER CITY, Ala., April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bourbon+ Magazine, the quarterly magazine devoted to the people, stories, and science behind the bottle, releases its Volume 5, Number 3 issue, a special edition featuring the key players and brands changing the previously white male-dominated Tennessee Whiskey industry. The issue's cover story, "Kindred Spirits," highlights three of the biggest names in Tennessee Whiskey today: Nicole Austin, Distiller and General Manager of George Dickel, Melvin Keebler SVP General Manager of Jack Daniel's Distillery, and Fawn Weaver, CEO and founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, and Bourbon+ Magazine's first-ever external guest editor.
The magazine opens with a note from Weaver that speaks on the initial intention for the issue's cover story to focus on her and the unprecedented founding story of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, inspired by the world's first-known Black Master Distiller, Nearest Green. However, Weaver recognized this as a larger opportunity to shine a light on the diverse people that are leading the Tennessee Whiskey industry today - Austin at George Dickel and Keebler at Jack Daniel's. Together, these three distilleries make up over 90 percent of the sales of the most well-known, top-selling straight bourbon whiskey sold worldwide. She goes on to raise a toast to the pioneers of Tennessee Whiskey history, like Nearest Green, and the pioneers of its future, including Victoria Eady Butler, Uncle Nearest's Master Blender, and fifth-generation descendant of Green.
"When Bourbon+ offered me the cover story of this issue, I was honored, but it also took me only seconds to turn it down and to suggest a story much more significant than me or the Uncle Nearest brand," said Weaver. "Melvin Keebler, a Black man, had just been promoted to the head of Jack Daniel's Distillery. A woman, Nicole Austin, had been kicking butt over at George Dickel as its general manager and master distiller. It dawned on me that the number one brand of bourbon sold worldwide is Tennessee Whiskey, and our three distilleries were responsible for the vast majority of those sales. That meant, for the first time in history, the top bourbon category in the world was run by either a woman, a Black person, or both. That is astounding, especially considering the complex history of enslaved people in this industry. That deserved a spotlight. That deserved to be the cover story."
In addition to its cover story, this special edition of Bourbon+ paints a picture of the culture of The Volunteer State.

73-year-old woman dies in fire in home with no electricity, family says
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE/Gray News) – A 73-year-old woman died in a fire at her home that hadn’t had electricity in more than two years, according to the victim’s family.
The family said the electricity at the woman’s residence in the Fairgrounds neighborhood of New Orleans has not been turned on since Hurricane Zeta left damage in October 2020.
The New Orleans Fire Department said they received calls about a fire at the home around 7:13 p.m. Sunday. Firefighters said when they arrived, the building was engulfed in flames and that they had to force entry into the home by cutting open bars and chains on the front door.
The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.
Firefighters said the woman lived alone and that there were no smoke detectors inside of the home.
The fire was under control around 8:30 p.m., according to authorities.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Construction along the Hollywood Walk of Fame will begin next summer to make streetscape improvements for pedestrians and transit riders, officials said Thursday.
The construction is expected to include an expanded pedestrian zone on part of Hollywood Boulevard, as well as sidewalk dining, bicycle racks, bus shelters, benches and landscaping, according to Los Angeles Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell, who represents Hollywood.
Money for the improvements comes from LA Metro’s Measure M, which was approved by voters in 2016 as a half-cent sales tax measure to fund traffic, transit and transportation projects. The LA Metro Board voted last year to put $7.2 million in Measure M funding toward the Hollywood Boulevard construction.

The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission has issued a recall for a batch of cannabis flower, from a Bend-based producer, that has tested positive for arsenic.
The OLCC is advising the retailers and the public not to sell or consume a batch of Bend Cannabis Company’s Blueberry Muffin flower. No sales have been made since June 23.
Here are the specifics from OLCC:
The recall includes the strain and harvest identified below. All sales of the product used a “generic label” and therefore did not include any brand or item logos.
Produced by Bend Cannabis Company (license 020-1012499AA2A)
These batches of cannabis flower were harvested before March 1, 2023. In this instance, the licensees complied with existing testing requirements. Under Oregon Health Authority (OHA) rules, cannabis products produced after March 1, 2023 are required to be tested for microbiological contaminants and heavy metals.
RELATED: Jim Belushi mixes weed business with show business in Southern Oregon
RELATED: Oregon pot retailers may lose licenses if they don’t prove tax compliance
While this licensee was in compliance with state testing requirements, OLCC is recalling the product based on audit testing done by the OLCC which indicates the presence of heavy metals (arsenic) at levels that pose a risk to public health and safety. A recall is necessary to prevent further sale of contaminated products and to provide notice to consumers.
Consumers should be aware that arsenic is carcinogenic and considered to cause a variety of diseases. Cannabis is efficient at absorbing and storing heavy metals and other pollutants found in soil and water, which increases the risk that marijuana users could ingest or inhale heavy metals. These metals can damage the kidneys and nervous system and increase the risk of some cancers.
Consumers who purchased the recalled products are encouraged to destroy them. OLCC staff has worked directly with retailers to halt the sale of the contaminated products, and will continue to look into the matter.
Consumers with health-related concerns about a recalled product should contact the Oregon Poison Center at 800-222-1222, or their medical provider. Consumers who consumed this product may experience respiratory irritation. If consumers have other product related complaints related to this recall, they should notify the OLCC at olcc.recalls@oregon.gov and include any information they have, including the consumer’s name and phone number, or alternative means of contact.

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) – A Colorado family said a Domino’s Pizza delivery driver took their cat, and they have security camera video to prove it.
While their neighbors got a pizza, the Adams County family said they were left with grief after going over the video of the driver with their cat “Pinto” last Saturday.
“He got in the middle of the street when he saw someone pull up,” Jennifer Chumil, the mother of the family, said of their cat.
In the video, Pinto, one of several family cats, is seen running toward a Domino’s delivery car.
“She petted him, and then a few minutes go by and he’s in the car with her and they’re driving off,” Chumil said. “They were delivering pizza to my neighbor across the street.”
You can see Pinto approach the car and the delivery driver interact with the cat. Another angle, Chumil said, shows Pinto in the car with the driver.
Shortly afterward, the video appears to show the Domino’s employee driving away.
The family has been left wondering where their cat was taken.
“Taken advantage of just cause he got out,” Chumil said. “It happens, people lose their pets, but it’s nice if someone returned them or not to ask if it belonged to you.”
Chumil said she called several locations around her neighborhood. She spoke with the store manager of a nearby location and provided the video. She also said she was contacted by the driver herself.
“The driver tells me, ‘You’re accusing me of this and I didn’t do it,'” Chumil said. “And I was like, ‘Well, I have video that you did,’ and she just basically says, ‘It wasn’t me, you’re mistaken’ and hung up.”
KDVR contacted the store, but the manager would not comment.
The family reached out to officials with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. However, KDVR was told it is a civil matter.

WASHINGTON — There’s no such thing as a purely personal opinion from the Oval Office on policies that matter. Armchair quarterbacking when you’re the president is fraught when you’re the one with the ball.
It’s sowing confusion in dangerous times.
America is no mere bystander in this conflict. The U.S. is Ukraine’s chief supplier of arms from the West, a key source of military intelligence for Kyiv and a driving force behind global sanctions against Russia. It has generations of experience in how to talk to and about its historic nuclear rival.
But on consequential superpower subjects, Biden these days is “speaking from his heart,” his aides have said repeatedly. Not unlike his predecessor, he is reacting at times to what he sees on TV. He’s not always to be taken literally, it is argued.
A declaration of genocide is history’s harshest judgment against a country, one that can bind the signers of a United Nations treaty to intervene. Concern about that obligation dissuaded the U.S. from recognizing the Rwandan Hutus’ killing of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis in 1994 as genocide. It took more than a century for a U.S. president, Biden last year, to recognize the Armenian genocide.
But in remarks in Iowa on Tuesday, Biden equated Russia’s mass killings of Ukrainian civilians to genocide and stuck with that position on his way back to Washington: “Yes, I called it genocide,” he affirmed. Lawyers will decide if Russia’s conduct met the international standard, the president added, but “it sure seems that way to me.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Biden’s remarks. “True words of a true leader,” he tweeted. “Calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil.”
But as the war unfolds in Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron warned, “I’m not sure if the escalation of words serves our cause.”
“I am prudent with terms today,” Macron said. “Genocide has a meaning. ... It’s madness what’s happening today. It’s unbelievable brutality and a return to war in Europe. But at the same time I look at the facts, and I want to continue to try the utmost to be able to stop the war and restore peace.”
At the White House last month, Biden said of Putin, “I think he is a war criminal,” in response to a shouted question as he walked out of an unrelated bill-signing reception. He said the same again when visiting U.S. troops in Poland.
The White House hastened to say that did not necessarily signal U.S. policy.
“He was speaking from his heart and speaking from what he’s seen on television, which is barbaric actions by a brutal dictator, through his invasion of a foreign country,” said press secretary Jen Psaki.
Psaki on Wednesday dismissed the notion that anyone was confused by the idea of Biden’s personal comments not reflecting federal policy. She said Biden ran for office promising “he would shoot from the shoulder, is his phrase that he often uses, and tell it to them straight. And his comments yesterday, not once but twice, and on war crimes are an exact reflection of that.”
As well, after meeting Ukrainian children torn from their families in the war, Biden sent his staff scrambling to explain his apparent endorsement of Moscow regime change when he said of Putin: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
Again, not U.S. policy.
“I was expressing the moral outrage that I felt toward this man,” Biden said days later. “I wasn’t articulating a policy change.”
It was Donald Trump who jettisoned the idea of a scripted presidency every way he could, with his multitude of tweets leading the way. Some reflected policy. Some just mirrored what was in his head at the moment.
“We made a dramatic transition during the Trump presidency” in coming to realize that a president may not be speaking for the government or the country at times, but only for himself, said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. She credits the Biden White House with being quick to set the record straight when that happens.
In Jamieson’s academic world of political rhetoric, some public figures like Barack Obama are considered self-monitors — they hear what they are saying as they say it and catch themselves in progress when they go adrift. Biden, she says, lacks this filter.
“Obama was a high self monitor,” she said. “Biden is not. The distance between thought and expression for Biden is not very wide.”
Along with longtime foreign-policy credentials and a deep knowledge of how government works, Biden has a history of loose lips and letting his emoting get the better of him.
That caused occasional friction when he was Obama’s vice president, as when Biden endorsed same-sex marriage rights in a 2012 TV interview before his boss was quite ready to do so. Biden “probably got out a little bit over his skis, but out of generosity of spirit,” Obama said at the time, adding that he would have “preferred to have done this in my own way, on my own terms.”
White House aides say Biden’s pronouncements reflect that he’s never been one to hold his tongue through his five decades in Washington, even when it gets him into trouble.
They see Biden’s declarations, separate from his government’s policies, as reactions not just to the horrifying scenes in Ukraine, but also to political pressure at home to say and do more in response to Russia’s invasion.
To David Axelrod, former adviser to the ever-cautious Obama, Biden’s remark that Putin “cannot remain in power” illustrated the Washington adage that “everyone’s strength is their weakness.”
Biden’s strength is his empathy and authenticity, Axelrod said on his recent podcast, and that can also be a weakness when a president says the wrong thing in a time of crisis.
The risk from off-the-cuff remarks is hardly new with Biden. In 2016, Axelrod foresaw a similar concern from Trump’s capacity for highly contentious comments.
“You can’t, when you’re president of the United States, just shoot first and think about it later in terms of what you say,” he said then, “because people can actually start shooting based on what you say.”

Record high temperatures hit or were poised to land Saturday in California and Arizona as dangerous heat swept over the American Southwest.
The National Weather Service in Phoenix reported a temperature of 114 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius), tying the record high for the date set back in 1918.
Meanwhile temperatures in several inland areas of California reached triple digits by the afternoon, with a high of 123 F (50 C) expected in Death Valley.
Excessive heat warnings and heat advisories were issued for parts of Northern California through the Central Valley and down to the southeastern deserts.
The National Weather Service also predicted 114 F (46 C) in Palm Springs and temperatures around 100F (38 C) across the San Joaquin Valley and the Sacramento area.
Heat was expected to extend to inland portions of the San Francisco Bay Area but most of the California coastal zones remained free of heat advisories.
The scorching heat in Northern California was expected to subside Saturday evening. Heat advisories in parts of Southern California were extended through Sunday.
Meteorologists warned of very high “heat risk” in south-central Arizona through the weekend. The high temperatures were likely to approach record-breaking territory — anywhere between 110 F (43 C) and 115 F (46 C). They have urged the public to limit outdoor activities.
Las Vegas, parts of New Mexico and Texas also will see triple-digits.
Heat is part of the normal routine of summertime in the desert, but weather forecasters say that doesn’t mean people should feel at ease. Excessive heat causes more deaths in the U.S. than other weather-related disasters, including hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined.
Scientists say more frequent and intense heat waves are likely in the future because of climate change and a deepening drought.

OKMULGEE COUNTY, Okla. — A burning question on the minds of many: why was Jesse McFadden a free man?
If he was a convicted rapist who allegedly committed another crime in prison, why was he out on bond?
We sat down with attorney Brett Chapman, uninvolved in the case, to look over documents. He says the failures in the case are inexcusable.
When McFadden was charged with soliciting a minor and child porn possession while in prison, a judge ordered him held without bond. It also stated the defendant should have no contact with the victim.
At this time, McFadden is serving prison time for first-degree rape. The case does not go to trial due to multiple delays for various reasons, including medical emergencies involving the prosecutor to trial date conflicts and being out of town.
According to documents, courts knew about accusations he contacted the victim—even threatening the victim if she testified in court.
He is released from prison in October of 2020 and he failed to appear for a court date for the new charges.
A bench warrant is issued. At his next court date, the bond changes to 25-thousand dollars.
"This prosecutor that was there that day didn't say a word to that 25 thousand bond and she's prosecutor of the year next year? If that's their best, i think that raises serious questions," attorney Brett Chapman said.
"It's just an abject failure in their duty to protect the public."
By the time he is released it has been three years three months and one day since the initial charges.
Chapman said, "That's more than enough time to try a capital case a robbery case any type of case what happened?"
What continued to happen was two and half more years of -- not very much. McFadden was living with children, which according to prison records, is allowed as a step parent who is a sex offender.
Chapman believes part of the problem is the state's lack of uniformity-- and as a native attorney is frustrated tribal courts get criticized for being bogged down and then situations like this happen.
On may first, the day authorities say McFadden killed six and himself, he was supposed to appear in court. the judge went back to an order of being held "without bond."
We also obtained McFadden’s inmate records.
According to those documents-- although he had 10 misconduct reports in prison including battery and being under the influence, he was considered a "level four" prisoner, which indicates good behavior and allows for accelerated time.
I also reached out to the current Muskogee county district attorney, who was not DA through this entire case. He says he agrees his office dropped the ball on this case.

JBL’s speakers are a solid choice when it comes to value for money, especially when they’re 65% off. Right now you can add the JBL Xtreme 2 speaker to your Amazon cart for $149.99, a huge markdown from its normal $429.95 price tag.
JBL Xtreme 2 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Blue - $149.99 ($279.96 off; originally $429.95)
The Bluetooth speaker is waterproof and rechargable, meaning you can take it with you anywhere you’re going this summer, whether it’s backyard barbecues, pool parties, or outdoor excursions — it even has a built-in bottle opener. (At just over 5 pounds, though, it might not be the best for backpacking.) Its IPX7 waterproof rating means that the speaker can sit in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes before it goes bust — so have no fear around the pool.
But no matter where you are, you’ll be able to keep the music going for 15 hours, and you can also use it as a speakerphone, which is great for video calls with groups of family members present. It can even be part of a larger sound system when you pair it with one of more than 100 other JBL Connect+ speakers.
Blue is the only color on sale, so scoop it up before the deal ends over on Amazon.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has highlighted efforts by Republican governors and statehouses across the country to embrace proposals limiting the rights of transgender people, signing new restrictions as he moves closer to a presidential bid.
The restrictions are spreading quickly despite criticism from medical groups and advocates who say they are further marginalizing transgender youth and threatening their health.
Here’s what’s happening:
FLORIDA’S RESTRICTIONS
DeSantis on Wednesday signed bills that ban gender-affirming care for minors, restrict pronoun use in schools and force people to use the bathroom corresponding with their sex assigned at birth in some cases.
DeSantis also signed new restrictions on drag shows that would allow the state to revoke the food and beverage licenses of businesses that admit children to adult performances. The DeSantis administration has moved to pull the liquor licenses of businesses that held drag shows, alleging children were present during lewd displays.
The rules on gender-affirming care also ban the use of state money for the care and place new restrictions on adults seeking treatment. They take effect immediately, along with the drag show restrictions. The bathroom and pronoun restrictions take effect July 1.
DeSantis has advocated for such restrictions, and championed a Florida law that restricts the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools. Florida has expanded that prohibition, which critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, to all grades.
WHERE BANS STAND NATIONALLY
Hundreds of bills have been proposed this year restricting the rights of transgender people, and LGBTQ+ advocates say they’ve seen a record number of such measures in statehouses.
At least 17 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, South Dakota and West Virginia. Federal judges have blocked enforcement of laws in Alabama and Arkansas, and several other states are considering bills to restrict or ban care. Proposed bans are also pending before Texas and Missouri’s governors.
Oklahoma on Thursday agreed to not enforce its ban while opponents of the law seek a preliminary injunction against it in federal court.
These bans have spread quickly, with only three states enacting such laws before this year.
Before DeSantis signed the latest ban, Florida was one of two states that had restricted the care via regulations or administrative action. Texas’ governor has ordered child welfare officials to investigate reports of children receiving such care as child abuse, though a judge has blocked those investigations.
Three transgender youth and their parents who are suing to block Florida’s earlier ban on the care for minors expanded their challenge on Wednesday to include the prohibition DeSantis signed into law.
Every major medical organization, including the American Medical Association, has opposed the bans and supported the medical care for youth when administered appropriately. Lawsuits have been filed in several states where bans have been enacted this year.
STATES POISED TO ACT
A proposed ban on gender-affirming care for minors is awaiting action before Republican Gov. Mike Parson in Missouri. The state’s Republican attorney general, Andrew Bailey, this week withdrew a rule he had proposed that would have gone further by also restricting access to the care for adults.
Bailey cited the bill pending before Parson as a reason for eliminating the rule, which had been blocked by a state judge.
Nebraska Republicans on Tuesday folded a 12-week abortion ban into a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors, potentially clearing the way for a final vote on the combined measure as early as this week.
A proposal that failed in New Hampshire’s House on Thursday would have required school officials to disclose to inquiring parents that their child is using a different name or being referred to as being a different gender. Opponents said the bill would have exposed LGBTQ+ students to the risk of abuse at home.
Not all states are adopting restrictions, and some Democratic-led states are enacting measures aimed at protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ youth.
Michigan Democrats plan to introduce legislation Thursday that would ban conversion therapy for minors, a discredited practice of trying to “convert” people to heterosexuality.
The legislation is expected to move quickly with Democrats in control of all levels of state government. Democratic state Rep. Jason Hoskins, a sponsor of the bill, told The Associated Press that he hopes the legislation passes by the end of June, which is Pride Month.

...Threat for snow squalls late this afternoon and evening...
A cold front will move eastward across Utah and southwest Wyoming
this evening. This cold front will aid in the development of
scattered, locally heavy snow showers and snow squalls from late
this afternoon through this evening. These snow showers and
squalls will be capable of causing low visibility, rapid changes
in visibility, gusty winds and difficult driving conditions. These
conditions have the potential of impacting the Wednesday evening
commute. Those with travel plans late this afternoon and evening
should continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

CPTCode establishes a standard reimbursement pathway for the BlueWind System effective January 1, 2024
PARK CITY, Utah, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueWind Medical, Ltd., an innovative medical device company that aims to transform neuromodulation therapy for OAB by providing physicians and their patients with a patient-centric solution, is pleased to announce that the American Medical Association (AMA) has issued a new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for the subfascial implantation of a tibial neuromodulation device for Overactive Bladder (OAB). This information was released by the AMA in the February 2023 Summary of Panel Actions from the February CPT Editorial Panel Meeting. The new code will become effective January 1, 2024. The specific procedure code with description will be published by the AMA in July 2023.
CPT codes provide a uniform nomenclature for coding medical procedures and services and are granted and maintained by the AMA CPT Editorial Panel. These codes are widely used by providers to report medical services and procedures to Medicare and commercial health plans for reimbursement. The release of this new CPT code represents a significant reimbursement achievement for BlueWind Medical as physicians, hospitals and surgery centers will be able to submit claims for the BlueWind System using this code. Consequently, this new code will provide physicians and their patients access to a groundbreaking new therapy for OAB.
The BlueWind therapy provides personalized relief from OAB in a single, minimally invasive procedure without the potential adverse events seen with other surgical OAB therapies, such as reoperation due to device migration or battery replacement. The subfascial procedure described in the CPT code is unique to BlueWind Medical. It allows for predictable placement in the ankle region under direct visualization with intraoperative testing and suture fixation to mitigate the risk of migration. The miniature, battery-less BlueWind implant is activated by an external wearable worn at the patient's convenience. Therapy parameters and treatment regimens are then optimized based on the patient's individual response.
"We believe the BlueWind Medical solution provides the key to unlock the enormous benefits of neuromodulation therapy for people managing the symptoms of OAB," said Dan Lemaitre, Chief Executive Officer of BlueWind Medical. "We appreciate the AMA adding this new code as it acknowledges the differentiation of the BlueWind subfascial procedure and we are grateful for the support from the American Urological Association (AUA) throughout the process. We look forward to future engagement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in establishing payment now that the new CPT code has been added. This code will allow for more precise cost and utilization data collection on subfascial procedures, which we believe will provide the agency with valuable insights to make informed decisions about payment levels in the future."
About Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder causes a frequent and urgent need to empty your bladder. According to the National Association for Continence, OAB is a chronic, debilitating condition affecting over 33 million Americans. Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine associated with a sudden compelling desire to void. OAB is a highly prevalent condition among men and women, with approximately 23% of U.S. adults affectedi. However, OAB remains challenging to treat successfully and is fraught with unmet needs and frustration. OAB has a great impact on the life and overall health of those that suffer with the condition. Even mild cases of incontinence increase the possibility of presenting with depression by 40%ii, the risk of falling is increased by 35% with daily urge incontinence, and fractures are significantly associated with UUIiii.
About BlueWind Medical Ltd.
BlueWind Medical is an innovative medical device company that is transforming neuromodulation therapy for the treatment of overactive bladder. BlueWind Medical has developed a miniature tibial neuromodulation solution for OAB that is implanted in the ankle region in a minimally invasive outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The patient-centric system allows for therapy customization to enhance patient response and includes a lightweight wearable device that fits around the ankle. The OASIS study is being conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA and completed one year follow-up in October 2022. The BlueWind System is not approved for use in the U.S. For additional information, please visit BlueWindMedical.com.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is warning that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) arresting former President Trump would “blow up our country.”
“It’s going to blow up our country, and this is a bunch of B.S.,” he said in a “Fox & Friends” interview.
“You’ve had the prosecutor before Bragg, [Cyrus] Vance [Jr.], look at the case and pass on it. You had the U.S. attorney in New York say ‘I’m not going to do it federally,’” Graham said, describing the lack of interest among other prosecutors in charging Trump over a $130,000 payment his onetime fixer Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Graham said Bragg is under political pressure to prosecute Trump over the allegation, which surfaced publicly in 2018, because his predecessor has come under criticism from former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who oversaw the district attorney office’s earlier investigation of Trump.
“There was an intervening cause other than Trump running,” Graham said, explaining why he thinks Bragg is now poised to bring charges against Trump.
“One of the guys in the DA’s office wrote a book very critical of Vance. ‘You should have prosecuted Trump, you let him off.’ And Bragg feels that pressure,” he said.
Graham also slammed Bragg as a “George Soros-backed prosecutor.” Color of Change PAC, which received a large donation from Soros — a frequent GOP foil — backed the district attorney’s 2021 campaign.
“The guy is yielding to the political pressure generated by the former prosecutor,” Graham said. “This is a case without merit, in my view.“
“Donald Trump will be the only person in the history of New York prosecuted under this theory,” he added.
Trump predicted over the weekend that he would be arrested on Tuesday and called on his supporters to “protest” and “take our nation back.”

AURORA, Colo. — "Honey, look down there at that parking garage. Is that your favorite book character?" That might be a conversation parents are having with their child if their kid is staying at Children's Hospital in Aurora.
Recently, a father and daughter duo has teamed up with a Swinnerton construction site to start planting a wooden "Where's Waldo?" cutout around the property across the street, with the idea that it will give the young patients a game to play every day.
As you will see in the above story, Tyler and his daughter, Emerie, were inspired when she was a patient at Children's last year after she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that kept her in the hospital for two months. While she was dependent on a wheelchair, had a tube up her nose and could not even physically talk, the workers at that site made a massive "Get Well Soon Emerie!" sign that she could see from her window. She said that changed everything in her recovery.
"Just that someone who didn't even know me would (go through with) that act of kindness," the 9-year-old soccer star told Denver7. "(Now), we're setting up a foundation to help (others) find a spark and to help them have hope, too."
"Waldo" is the first project of that new foundation, called Stand and Fight. For more information, you can head here.
