Physician-Lead Plastic Surgery Partnership, Supported by White Oak Global Advisors, Continues Rapid Growth Trajectory with Two New Acquisitions
MIAMI, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime Plastic Surgery & Med Spa ("Prime" or the "Company"), a healthcare partnership comprised of the country's leading board-certified aesthetic surgery practices, announced today two new acquisitions. The company also announced a strategic growth capital financing deal with White Oak Global Advisors ("White Oak" or WOGA) to fuel future acquisitions, and scale of existing operations and facilities.
Prime Plastic Surgery was founded less than three years ago by Western Metal Investments, a healthcare-focused family office lead by Dr. James Chao and George Scopetta. To date, Prime Plastic Surgery has acquired seven practices in the California and Washington DC markets to become one of the nation's largest plastic surgery groups. Addressing the challenges of a fragmented industry, Prime Plastic Surgery has created a unique physician-led business model with the goal of establishing the industry's most elite brands focused on quality surgeries and improving the patient experience.
"The cosmetic surgery industry is broken. Talented doctors spend more time worrying about backend operations and financial headaches, rather than innovating and treating their valued patients," said Dr. James Chao, Co-Founder of Prime Plastic Surgery and Western Metal Investments. "Simply put, we've found a better way. Our partnership unlocks value for leading practices, immediately reducing their cost structure, easing operational burden, and providing significant capital to scale operations. This model has proven a win-win for patients, as well as our physician-partners' bottom lines."
Prime recently completed a growth capital investment from White Oak, an alternative debt manager which has deployed over $10 billion in transactions since 2007. The initial proceeds under the deal with White Oak provided the capital necessary to execute upon these two most recent acquisitions.
White Oak, in conjunction with anticipated future growth equity from Prime's shareholders, should provide Prime Plastic Surgery with the near term capital to fuel future acquisitions, capital investment, and scaling of existing operations and facilities.
"We pride ourselves on uncovering ideas that disrupt industries and scale quickly," said Allan Marzen, Managing Director of White Oak Global Advisors. "Prime is no exception, with two visionary founders and a novel business model that will spark consolidation within an industry that direly needs it. We look forward to mutual success and significant collective returns."
Coinciding with this financing deal from White Oak, the company completed two acquisitions spanning both coasts. Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa, located in San Diego, CA is run by Gilbert Lee M.D. and Michael T. Rossi M.D. Across the country, West End Plastic Surgery, located in Washington D.C. is led by Dr Paul Ruff, M.D., Catherine Hannan, M.D., Lauren Patrick, M.D., and Lexie Wang, M.D. As with every Prime acquisition, all six doctors will remain in practice, providing continuity for patients.
"What drew me to join Prime Plastic Surgery was their Doctor-led structure and controlled operation, NOT run by a private equity fund," said Dr Michael Wong, Professor Emeritus of plastic surgery and program director at UC Davis."Private Equity is a bad word in plastic surgery, where the company is controlled by businessmen focused on profits over patients. Our goal as part of Prime is to focus on our patient service and perfecting their results."
Dr. Gilbert Lee of Changes Plastic Surgery who also recently joined Prime added. "I have friends in Dermatology and Orthopedics that sold to private equity in the past and lost control of their practice. Their practices are now on their third owner in four years because the private equity firm ultimately flipped the business for a profit. At Prime, our ultimate goal is to build and operate a world class plastic surgery practice for the long term, which is why I was comfortable incorporating my practice into Prime."
"As a doctor running a practice for decades, I understand the unique challenges of balancing medical needs with business realities," said Dr. Robert Singer, past President of The Aesthetics Society and Chairman of the medical advisory board for New Beauty magazine. "We at Prime Plastic Surgery are building something truly special, akin to an exclusive members' club where top surgeons support each other, provide best-in-class care, enhance equipment, and elevate the patient experience. This evolution makes private practice sustainable for the future."
Prime Plastic Surgery consists of the top board-certified surgeons in the country providing the highest caliber of patient care. We offer cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, to help patients achieve truly life-changing results. Through an innovative business model, we have compiled under one corporate entity several leading practices across the country, reducing costs and enhancing patient care.

Western Metal Investments is a family office focusing on the healthcare industry. The Company was founded though a joint venture partnership by George Scopetta and Dr. James Chao. Through their investments in ShareMD, Revival Health and now Prime Plastic Surgery the goal is to invest in innovative and creative companies in the healthcare field that can improve on patient care and access to medicine.

PANAMA CITY (AP) — An international wildlife conference moved to enact some of the most significant protection for shark species targeted in the fin trade and scores of turtles, lizards and frogs whose numbers are being decimated by the pet trade.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, known by its initials as CITES, ended Friday in Panama. Along with protections for over 500 species, delegates at the United Nations wildlife conference rejected a proposal to reopen the ivory trade. An ivory ban was enacted in 1989.
“Good news from CITES is good news for wildlife as this treaty is one of the pillars of international conservation, imperative at ensuring countries unite at combatting the global interrelated crises of biodiversity collapse, climate change, and pandemics,” said Susan Lieberman, the vice president of international policy at Wildlife Conservation Society.
“Many of the proposals adopted here reflect there is ongoing over-exploitation and unsustainable trade, and escalating illegal trade, and some are due to complex interactions of other threats reducing species populations in the wild, including climate change, disease, infrastructure development, and habitat loss,” she added.
The international wildlife trade treaty, which was adopted 49 years ago in Washington, D.C., has been praised for helping stem the illegal and unsustainable trade in ivory and rhino horns as well as in whales and sea turtles.
But it has come under fire for its limitations, including its reliance on cash-strapped developing countries to combat illegal trade that’s become a lucrative $10 billion-a-year business.
One of the biggest achievement this year was increasing or providing protection for more than 90 shark species, including 54 species of requiem sharks, the bonnethead shark, three species of hammerhead shark and 37 species of guitarfish. Many had never before had trade protection and now, under Appendix II, the commercial trade will be regulated.
Global shark populations are declining, with annual deaths due to fisheries reaching about 100 million. The sharks are sought mostly for their fins, which are used in shark fin soup, a popular delicacy in China and elsewhere in Asia.
“These species are threatened by the unsustainable and unregulated fisheries that supply the international trade in their meat and fins, which has driven extensive population declines,” Rebecca Regnery, senior director for wildlife at Humane Society International, said in a statement. “With Appendix II listing, CITES Parties can allow trade only if it is not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild, giving these species help they need to recover from over-exploitation.”
The conference also enacted protections for dozens of species of turtle, lizard and frogs including glass frogs whose translucent skin made them a favorite in the pet trade. Several species of song birds also got trade protection.
“Already under immense ecological pressure resulting from habitat loss, climate change and disease, the unmanaged and growing trade in glass frogs is exacerbating the already existing threats to the species,” Danielle Kessler, the U.S. country director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said in a statement. “This trade must be regulated and limited to sustainable levels to avoid compounding the multiple threats they already face.”
But some of the more controversial proposals weren’t approved.
Some African countries and conservation groups had hoped to ban the trade in hippos. But it was opposed by the European Union, some African countries and several conservation groups, who argue many countries have healthy hippo populations and that trade isn’t a factor in their decline.
“Globally cherished mammals such as rhinos, hippos, elephants and leopards didn’t receive increased protections at this meeting while a bunch of wonderful weirdos won conservation victories,” Tanya Sanerib, international legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. “In the midst of a heart-wrenching extinction crisis, we need global agreement to fight for all species, even when it’s contentious.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – Carole Baskin of Tampa’s Big Cat Rescue has weighed in on renewed press coverage of claims that her former husband is “alive and well” in Costa Rica.
Baskin’s comments to Nexstar’s CBS 42 came after a New York Post article rehashing claims about the whereabouts of her ex-husband, Jack Don Lewis, who went missing from the family home in 1997.
“Carole Baskin says ‘dead’ husband was found alive – but no one noticed,” the tabloid reported Wednesday. The story quickly went viral on social media, with Carole Baskin herself quickly trending on Twitter.
When contacted about the resurfaced story, Baskin said the information is old news.
“This aired back in Nov. 2021 and I’ve mentioned it in the more than 60 interviews I’ve done since then, where reporters asked about Don, so I’m surprised everyone in the press is acting like they aren’t aware of it,” Baskin said.
At one point in Netflix’s “Tiger King 2,” a document purportedly produced by the Department of Homeland Security showed information related to Lewis’ case. The document, which could not be authenticated by CBS 42, claims that investigators found Lewis “alive and well” in Costa Rica.
The Department of Homeland Security has not yet responded to requests for comment on the case, but the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office still listed Lewis as a “missing endangered adult” as of publication time.
Baskin said the renewed press coverage may be because “Tiger King 2” didn’t receive the initial attention its previous installment had garnered.
“I guess Tiger King 2 wasn’t as popular as the first one that came out just as we all went into lockdown,” she said.
Asked whether she had anything she’d wish to say to her former husband, Baskin kept it short and clear.
“No,” she wrote plainly.
“For the cats,” Baskin signed her response – then, below her signature, a quote attributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt: “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.”

TWINSBURG, Ohio — Olivia Bartulovic knew from a young age, growing up in Twinsburg, Ohio, what she wanted to do as a profession.
“I love to come to work every single day,” she said.
She remembers the day she discovered her calling clearly because it was a somber day.
“One of our officers was killed in the line of duty in 2008, Josh Miktarian,” she said. “I was only 11 when he was killed. I never got to meet him, but ever since then, I decided I wanted to honor him and carry on his legacy.”
The 25-year-old did honor Miktarian, the moment, three years ago, when she became a Twinsburg Police Officer.
“I’m first generation law enforcement in my family,” she said.
As an officer, she admits there are good days and bad days.
“I’m glad I have the team that we have and we can make it through the shift together and make it home safe,” she said.
Twinsburg Police Chief Tom Mason can attest to the teamwork of the department.
“It’s busy. It’s busy every day and these officers answer the call every day,” he said. “Officer Bartulovic came on a few years ago and we knew she’d be good. She’s homegrown, a product of Twinsburg.”
Just a few weeks back, on July 18, she showed her commitment to her city by saving two lives, in just one shift.
“We got a call of a fully unresponsive male who went into cardiac arrest in our business district,” she said.
Bartulovic rushed to the scene and even got there before Twinsburg’s EMS arrived. The man was in full cardiac arrest and his co-worker was performing CPR.
She took over and continued CPR until medics arrived.
“They got him in the squad and transported him to the hospital and I later found out, later in my shift, that he was alert and they got a heart rhythm back,” she said.
But then, just a couple of hours later, she answered another call for another man in cardiac arrest who had passed out while eating dinner with his wife. Bartulovic was, yet again, the first to arrive on the scene.
“The wife was doing CPR, at first, and I told her just to calm down and that I will take it from here,” she said.
EMS arrived and took over life-saving measures.
“Before they even pulled out of the driveway, he was alert,” said Bartulovic. “It was definitely a team effort.”
Mason said it’s not entirely uncommon for officers to perform life-saving techniques, but said multiple times in one shift is rare.
“What she did is pretty incredible, but to do it twice in one day is even more incredible,” he said.
Bartulovic said the events of the day didn’t sink in until she clocked out.
“The adrenaline stays up throughout the day. I know I have other calls to answer,” she said. “Once I got home I finally realized ‘oh wow, two people are alive. That’s awesome.’”
While Bartulovic is humble about her heroic actions, Mason said that she embodies what all of the men and women in the department do every time they answer a call: protect and serve to the best of their abilities.
“Despite what you may see or hear, whether it’s locally or nationally, there’s bad in every profession, and sometimes that gets the bulk of the attention, but the men and women we have here, they’re just here for their community,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been a wild week in crypto, even by crypto standards.
Bitcoin tumbled, stablecoins were anything but stable and one of the crypto industry's highest-profile companies lost a third of its market value.
Here's a look at some major developments in cryptocurrencies this week:
BITCOIN
The price of bitcoin dropped to around $25,420 this week, its lowest level since December 2020, according to CoinDesk. It steadied around $30,000 Friday, but that's still less than half the price bitcoin fetched last November.
Some bitcoin proponents have said the digital currency could protect its holders against inflation and act as a hedge against a decline in the stock market. Lately, it's done neither. Inflation at the consumer level rose 8.3% in April compared to a year ago, a level last seen in the early '80's. With the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates to try to tamp down inflation, investors are dumping risky assets, including stocks and crypto. The S&P 500 is down more than 15% this year. Bitcoin has dropped about 37% year to date.
Other cryptos have fared just as poorly. Ethereum has dropped 44% and dogecoin, a cryptocurrency favored by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has fallen 53%.
STABLECOIN COLLAPSE
Stablecoins have been viewed as a safe harbor haven among cryptocurrencies. That’s because the value of many stablecoins is pegged to a government-backed currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or precious metals such as gold.
But this week one of the more widely-used stablecoins, Terra, experienced the cryptocurrency equivalent of a run on the bank.
Terra is a stablecoin in a cryptocurrency ecosystem known as Terra Luna. Terra is an algorithmic stable coin, which means it adjusted its supply through complicated buying and selling to keep its peg to $1. Terra was also fueled by an incentive program that gave its holders high yields on their Terra. Luna was the coin meant to be used in the ecosystem to buy and sell assets, and at its peak it was worth more than $100.
Even though the developers of Terra said its algorithms would backstop the stablecoin, they decided to further backstop it with holdings of bitcoin.
Terra’s problems started from a combination of withdrawals of hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of dollars from Anchor, a platform that supported the stablecoin. Combined with worries overall about cryptocurrencies, and the drop in bitcoin’s price, Terra started to lose its peg to the dollar. The bitcoin that Terra held was also worth less than they paid for it, and selling those bitcoin into the market caused bitcoin prices to fall even further.
Efforts by Terra's developers to shore up liquidity failed. On Friday, Terra had fallen to 14 cents and Luna was trading at a value of less than one ten thousandth of one cent.
COINBASE
Coinbase lost about a third of its value this week, during which the cryptocurrency trading platform reported that active monthly users fell by 19% in the first quarter amid the decline in crypto values.
Investors had been running for the exits even before Coinbase reported a $430 million quarterly loss. Shares closed Thursday at $58.50. On the day of its initial public offering just 13 months ago, shares reached $429 each.
In a letter to shareholders, Coinbase said it believed that current market conditions were not permanent and it remained focused on the long-term while prioritizing product development. While most Wall Street analysts expect Coinbase to weather the storm, they're also warning that increased regulation of cryptocurrencies could hamper the company's growth.
REGULATORS
There has been a lot of talk about regulating cryptocurrencies, but little in the way of action.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, responding to the volatility in the crypto markets this week, said Thursday that the U.S. needs a regulatory framework to guard against the risks surrounding cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
In March, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said new forms of digital money such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins present risks to the U.S. financial system and will require new rules to protect consumers. This Monday, right before the implosion of Terra, the Fed said in its semiannual report on financial stability that stablecoins are vulnerable to “runs” that could harm owners of the coins.
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler has said that the crypto industry is “rife with fraud, scams and abuse” and that his agency needs more authority from Congress — and more funding — to regulate the market.
Britain has unveiled plans to regulate stablecoins as part of a broader plan to become a global hub for digital payments. European Union lawmakers have agreed on draft rules for cryptoassets, but still have to negotiate a final bill.

Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, right, and left wing Jake DeBrusk celebrate after a goal by Bergeron during the third period of Monday night's game against Florida.
In the first four games of this five-game homestand, the Boston Bruins have gotten off to leads of 2-0, 2-0, 1-0 and 4-0.
So why does it feel like their starts have been, well, kind of underwhelming? That’s because they have been. The breakouts have too often been turned back on the first try, the Bruins haven’t gotten much going off the rush and they’ve needed a few good saves early on. And then when they’ve taken those leads, the opposition has found a way to get back into the game, the hockey gods perhaps letting the Bruins know those leads were not always hard-earned.
Coach Jim Montgomery is not overly concerned with it, and for good reasons. His team is 25-4-2 and in that four-game stretch, Boston is 3-0-1. There is hardly a cause for panic.
But he does have his eye on it, and he sees a couple of reasons for it — one that’s hockey-related, another that’s human being-related.
“I think teams have done a really good job of scouting us and they’ve adjusted game plans. And I think a little bit of it is, we don’t start off well and then we get to our game for about 10 minutes and we get up 2-0. Earlier in the year, we kept our foot on the gas and kept going. Now we take the foot off the gas and kind of manage, it seems like,” said Montgomery after the Bruins’ optional practice on Tuesday.
“It’s also a little bit of the luxury that we have in how we’ve banked points. And it’s also that time of the year of the season where people are starting to think about family time. It happens. I don’t care if you’re 25-4 or 4-25. That’s natural. It’s human.”
The enviable situation the Bruins find themselves in as the current kings of the NHL hill is leading to some of the uneven nature of their play lately.
“We have such a good record, we have to expect every team to be excited to play us and bring their best, so I guess we’ve got to do a little better job (matching that),” said Connor Clifton, though he added motivation is still no problem. “We’re excited to come to the rink every day with these guys. We’ve got a special group and we know we’re having a special year. Obviously, it’s a long season and things have been going so well.
“I’m sure it’s not going to be like that for 82 games, but we’re going to do our jobs and try to show up each day.”
As for the aspect of the slow starts that relates to hockey, Montgomery believes the challenges that his team is seeing now will be good for it in the long run.
“It’s a combination of (the opposition) taking away the middle of the ice and also they’re having three and four back all the time,” said Montgomery. “We’re not getting the rush chances we were earlier in the year. We did end up moving pucks up walls and skating with it and leading to good entries. I think our first three goals were good entry goals (against Florida). And I think those are plays that would have happened at our blue line that are now happening at their blue line and that’s the evolution of our team.
“It’s good for us to go through this and find different ways to score.”
Whatever is causing the in-game inconsistencies, Montgomery is not about to bag skate his team over them.
“I think we just try to be consistent with our message about the process, about the details, about the habits of our game that lead to success, whether it’s offensively or defensively,” said Montgomery. “It’s like being a parent. You’re kid has straight As and he comes home and you know he should be getting an A in math or English and he comes home with a B. It’s an opportunity to learn, right? But at the end of the semester, he still has an A. It’s hard to really bash him about that B.”
Montgomery said it’s taken some learning of his own not to push for a perfection that is unattainable.
“I think it’ a balance you develop. My second year as a head coach (in Dubuque of the USHL), we had a really good team and I pushed too hard with that group,” said Montgomery. “And I think I learned that if you’re trying to be perfect, you become very negative and then the players kind of start playing safe. And to me, safety is a good way of finding yourself on the wrong side of a lot of games. You can’t be safe.”….
As was somewhat expected, the B’s assigned Craig Smith to Providence after Monday’s game. The veteran winger had cleared waivers earlier in the day before playing in the B’s 7-3 win over Florida. It sounds doubtful that the team will actually require him to report to the AHL as it’s mostly a cap management move.
“It’s roster flexibility,” said Montgomery. “I don’t know all the inner workings of it, but I know it’s something we needed to do for the roster flexibility that it gives us. As far as reporting to Providence, I don’t believe he is, but I don’t know for certain.”

Classified documents keep showing up where they shouldn't be.
The FBI search on Friday for additional classified documents at former Vice President Mike Pence's home in Indiana — after ot hers were found by his lawyers recently — followed the revelation of classified materials at President Joe Biden's Delaware home and former office and the seizure last year of hundreds of documents marked classified from Mar-a-Lago, the Florida residence of former President Donald Trump.
A look at similarities and differences among the cases:
HOW MANY CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
PENCE: "A small number of documents bearing classified markings" were discovered last week at Pence's home north of Indianapolis, Pence's lawyer, Greg Jacob, wrote in a Jan. 18 letter to the National Archives and Records Administration, shared with The Associated Press.
In all, four boxes containing copies of administration papers — two in which "a small number" of papers bearing classified markings were found, and two containing "courtesy copies of vice presidential papers" — were discovered, according to Jacob.
On Friday, an FBI search of Pence's home in Carmel, Indiana, uncovered an additional document that contained one page with classified markings, according to Pence spokesperson Devin O'Malley.
BIDEN: It's unclear precisely how many classified papers have been recovered from Biden's home and former office. Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said this month that "a small number of documents with classified markings" were discovered on Nov. 2, 2022, in a locked closet at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a think tank in Washington, as Biden's personal attorneys were clearing out the offices.
Sauber said Jan. 12 that a second batch of documents with classified markings — a "small number," he said — had been found in a storage space in Biden's garage near Wilmington, Delaware, along with one document located in Biden's personal library in his home. Days later, Sauber clarified that six pages, not a single one, had been found in the library.
During a nearly 13-hour search on Jan. 20, FBI agents searching Biden's Delaware home located six additional items that contained documents with classified markings and also took possession of some of his handwritten notes, said Bob Bauer, a lawyer for the president.
TRUMP: Roughly 300 documents with classification markings — including some at the top secret level — have been recovered from Trump since he left office in January 2021.
In January 2022, the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes of documents, telling Justice Department officials they contained "a lot" of classified material. In August, FBI agents took more than 33 boxes and containers totaling 11,000 documents from Mar-a-Lago, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office.
HOW QUICKLY WERE THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS TURNED OVER?
PENCE: Jacob said the records were discovered by Pence lawyers on Jan. 16, secured in a locked safe and retrieved by FBI agents on Jan. 19. The four boxes of papers were delivered to the Archives on Jan. 23.
BIDEN: After the materials were discovered at the think tank on Nov. 2, Biden's personal attorneys immediately alerted the White House counsel's office, which notified the National Archives, Sauber said. The Archives took custody of the documents the next day.
Biden's personal lawyers then began examining other locations where records might have been shipped after Biden left the vice presidency in 2017. They found documents on Dec. 20 in his Wilmington garage and on Jan. 11 and 12 in his home library.
Sauber said that the Justice Department was "immediately notified" and took custody of the records.
On Jan. 20, Biden voluntarily allowed the FBI to search his Wilmington home, where additional documents were located.
TRUMP: A Trump representative told the National Archives December 2021 that presidential records had been found at Mar-a-Lago, nearly a year after Trump left office. Fifteen boxes of records containing some classified material were transferred to the Archives in January.
A few months later, investigators from the Justice Department and FBI visited Mar-a-Lago to get more information about classified materials taken to Florida. Federal officials served a subpoena for some documents believed to be at the estate.
In August 2022, FBI agents conducting a search retrieved 33 boxes from Mar-a-Lago while executing a warrant that showed they were investigating possible crimes including the willful retention of national defense information and efforts to obstruct the federal probe.
The search came after lawyers for Trump provided a sworn certification that all government records had been returned.
WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE CHARGES?
PENCE AND BIDEN: There is no indication either was aware of the existence of the records before they were found and turned over.
It appears both turned over the records quickly, without intent to conceal. That's important because the Justice Department historically looks for willfulness, or an intent to mishandle government secrets, in deciding whether to bring criminal charges.
In Biden's case, even if the Justice Department were to find the case prosecutable on the evidence, its Office of Legal Counsel has concluded that a president is immune from prosecution during his time in office. Former special counsel Robert Mueller cited that guidance in deciding not to reach a conclusion on whether Trump should face charges as part of the investigation into coordination between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.
On Jan. 12, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate the discovery of documents in Biden's possession. Robert Hur, the Trump-appointed former U.S. attorney in Maryland, will lead the investigation.
TRUMP: The former president possibly faces exposure for obstruction over the protracted battle to retrieve the documents. And, since he's no longer in office, he wouldn't be afforded protections from possible prosecution.
In November, Garland appointed Jack Smith, a veteran war crimes prosecutor with a background in public corruption probes, to lead investigations into Trump's retention of classified documents, as well as key aspects of a separate probe involving the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and efforts to undo the 2020 election.
WHAT HAVE THE THREE MEN HAD TO SAY?
PENCE: In August, Pence told The Associated Press that he did not take any classified information with him when he left office, answering, "No, not to my knowledge" when asked directly if he had retained any such information.
As vice president, Pence would have had the power to declassify some documents, though he hasn't said that he did.
On Friday, spokesperson O'Malley said the former vice president and his legal team "fully cooperated with the appropriate authorities and agreed to a consensual search of his residence."
BIDEN: Biden said earlier this month he was "surprised to learn" that documents had been found at his think tank. He said he didn't know what was in the material but takes classified documents "very seriously."
His team "did what they should have done," Biden said. "They immediately called the Archives."
Biden told reporters at the White House Jan. 12 that he was "cooperating fully and completely" with a Justice Department investigation into how classified information and government records were stored.
TRUMP: Trump, who had the ability when he was president to declassify documents, has contended at times that he did so regarding the documents that he took with him — though he has provided no evidence of that. He said in a Fox News interview in September that a president can declassify material "even by thinking about it."
The former president has called the Mar-a-Lago search an "unannounced raid" that was "not necessary or appropriate" and represented "dark times for our nation."
WHAT ARE THE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS?
PENCE: As he lays the groundwork for a possible 2024 White House bid, the document discovery thrusts Pence into the debate over the handling of secret materials by officials who have served in the highest ranks of government. He had previously insisted that he followed stringent protocols regarding classified documents.
BIDEN: His document disclosure could intensify criticism by Republicans and others who say that if Trump is guilty of anything, so is he.
There are also possible ramifications in a new, GOP-controlled Congress where Republicans are promising to launch widespread investigations of Biden's administration.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, has said, "I think Congress has to investigate this." The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Ohio Rep. Mike Turner, has requested that intelligence agencies conduct a "damage assessment" of potentially classified documents.
TRUMP: The documents probe is one of many that complicate the former president's bid for the White House in 2024, particularly after it became clear that the DOJ had launched a criminal investigation into the retention of top secret government information.
Trump and his supporters have described the Mar-a-Lago search as a partisan attack from Democrats.
During his 2024 campaign launch in November, at the same club agents had searched months earlier, Trump cast himself as a victim of wayward prosecutors and "festering, rot and corruption of Washington."

Dirk Nowitzki is getting quite the Christmas gift from the Dallas Mavericks this year.
The franchise announced on Friday that it will unveil a statue of the retired superstar ahead of its Christmas Day matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. CT with tipoff set for 1:30 p.m. CT.
“Dirk has done so much for the game and for our city,” Mavs owner Mark Cuban said in a press release. “And to show our appreciation, we want to ensure his legacy and his jump shot will forever be remembered in Dallas.”
Cuban announced plans for a Nowitzki statue earlier this summer. The team also immortalized him in January by retiring his No. 41.
The unveiling ceremony will be held at American Airlines Center South Plaza with credentialed invited guests. Fans are encouraged to arrive at the arena early to watch the ceremony take place on the jumbotron. Doors will open at 10 a.m. CT.
For those who will not be in attendance, there will be a livestream of the ceremony on the Mavs’ website.
Nowitzki spent his entire 21-year NBA career in Dallas and led the team to its first NBA title in 2011. His name covers a majority of the Maverick’s all-time leaderboards, including games (1,522), points (31,560) and rebounds (11,489). He will soon become a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as well, with his eligibility beginning in 2023.

Comprehensive technical and safety review of large-scale medical isotope production facility complete
JANESVILLE, Wis., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SHINE Technologies, LLC, a next-generation fusion technology company, today announced that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued its Final Safety Evaluation Report related to the Operating License Application for SHINE's large-scale medical isotope production facility, The Chrysalis, in Janesville.
The report provides a comprehensive review of all important safety aspects of the design and operation of The Chrysalis. It concludes that the technical requirements for issuing an operating license have been met.
SHINE's Operating License Application was filed with the NRC in July 2019. When The Chrysalis is fully operational, the company plans to produce medical isotopes, including molybdenum-99, which powers more than 40 million medical procedures annually to diagnose heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
"This is an achievement that's been a decade in the making. In 2013, when we applied for the construction permit to build our isotope facility, we knew we had hard work ahead of us. By reaching this milestone not seen with the NRC in more than 35 years, we've managed to accomplish what no startup has done before, and are that much closer to reaching our goal of using fusion to make life-saving medicine," said Greg Piefer, founder and CEO of SHINE. "We will continue to do the hard things that are important to the world and will unlock value for our shareholders. The achievement of this milestone makes me more confident than ever that our team will be able to do the hard things in nuclear, including growth into waste recycling and ultimately fusion energy."
SHINE submitted its construction permit application to the NRC in 2013 and was granted that permit in 2016.
In the process of supporting the technical review for the Final Safety Evaluation Report related to the Operating License Application, SHINE responded to more than 300 formal requests for additional information and participated in regulatory audits on more than two dozen topics. After meeting with SHINE over a total of 11 days in 2022, the NRC's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, in a letter to the Commission, recommended issuance of the operating license.
"The SHINE team has put in an extraordinary amount of effort over the last 42 months to support the NRC's technical review," said Jim Costedio, SHINE Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Quality. "This is an extraordinary accomplishment in what has been a very successful 10-year regulatory process."
Recently the NRC also issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement Supplement related to the Operating License Application. The supplement covers matters that differ from, or that reflect significant new information relative to, that considered in the Final Environmental Impact Statement that was prepared in connection with SHINE being issued its construction permit. The Final Environmental Impact Statement Supplement recommends the operating license be issued as proposed.
Production equipment will continue to be installed in The Chrysalis as SHINE keeps the NRC apprised of construction progress. Upon completion of operational readiness inspections, the NRC will decide on the issuance of an operating license.
SHINE's work in producing medical isotopes is supported by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration's molybdenum-99 program, which seeks to develop reliable and sustainable domestic production of Mo-99 without the use of highly enriched uranium.
About SHINE
SHINE deploys its safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly fusion technology in a stepwise approach. Its systems are used to inspect industrial components in aerospace, defense, energy and other sectors. SHINE's proprietary medical isotope production processes are expected to create molybdenum-99 once its medical isotope production facility, The Chrysalis, is operational, and currently create non-carrier-added lutetium-177. These important medicines are used in tens of thousands of daily procedures to diagnose and treat heart disease, late-stage cancer, and other serious illnesses. In the future, SHINE plans to scale its fusion technology to help solve one of energy's toughest hurdles by recycling nuclear waste. Through a purpose-driven and phased approach, SHINE aims to generate fusion power to deliver clean, abundant energy that could transform life on Earth.

LONDON (AP) — The European Medicines Agency has recommended the authorization of a tweaked booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine that includes protection against two of the latest versions of omicron, as countries look to bolster their immunization programs ahead of winter.
The EU regulator said Monday that laboratory studies suggest the combination vaccine — which targets both the original COVID-19 virus as well as the omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 — should trigger an effective immune response. The vaccine is expected to be as safe as the original version, but the agency will continue to track its rollout globally since the data is limited.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave the modified vaccine shot the green light last month.
According to the World Health Organization, the BA.5 version of omicron is responsible for most of the COVID-19 spreading globally; it made up about 87% of all virus sequences shared with the biggest public database.
Earlier this month, the European Medicines Agency also cleared two combination vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Inc. which aimed at protecting against the earlier omicron subvariant BA.1.
It’s unclear how well the updated boosters will work since experts are still gathering data. But there’s evidence that they are safe, so waiting for more study on their effectiveness would risk another mutation appearing before people are immunized.
Scientists warn that the coronavirus will linger far into the future, partly because it is getting better and better at getting around immunity from vaccination and past infection.
Globally, coronavirus cases and deaths have been dropping for weeks, but experts expect a surge of hospitalizations and deaths with the coming winter in the northern hemisphere. So far the virus has killed over 6.5 million people worldwide.

Man tied to officer’s attack during Capitol riot pleads guilty to lesser charges
(AP) - A West Virginia man initially charged with assaulting a police officer who died after defending the U.S. Capitol from a mob pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor offenses that could allow him to avoid more jail time.
Another man accused of attacking the officer with bear spray is weighing a stricter plea deal that calls for a prison sentence exceeding six years.
A federal grand jury indicted George Pierre Tanios last year on felony charges that he conspired with a Pennsylvania man, Julian Elie Khater, to assault and injure Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick with chemical spray during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tanios, 40, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, each of which carries a maximum sentence of one year of imprisonment.
Prosecutors also have extended an offer for Khater to plead guilty to felony assault charges. If he accepts the offer, estimated sentencing guidelines will recommend a prison term ranging from six years and six months to eight years and one month. Khater hasn’t decided whether to accept that plea offer, one of his lawyers said Wednesday during a virtual hearing.
The medical examiner’s office in Washington, D.C., determined in April 2021 that Sicknick, 42, suffered a stroke and died from natural causes.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan is scheduled to sentence Tanios on Dec. 6. Hogan said the estimated sentencing guidelines for Tanios range from no jail time to six months of imprisonment for both counts. Tanios was jailed for about five months after his arrest and could get credit for time served.
Khater has remained jailed while awaiting a trial in October on felony charges, including assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. Prosecutors’ offer to Khater would require him to plead guilty to that charge. The offer expires on Aug. 17.
Tanios, of Morgantown, West Virginia, and Khater, of State College, Pennsylvania, weren’t charged in Sicknick’s death. But the case against them has been among the most prominent brought by the Justice Department, which is prosecuting hundreds of people for their conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Sicknick and other officers were standing guard behind metal bicycle racks as the mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Prosecutors have said Khater sprayed Sicknick and other officers with bear spray after retrieving a canister from Tanios’ backpack.
Tanios’ attorneys have said he brought the chemical spray to Washington for self-defense at the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6. In a court filing last year, they said there was no evidence that Tanios and Khater planned to use the spray in “an ultra-coordinated attack” on police.
“Indeed, had Mr. Tanios been a violent member of a mob and a willing participant in a riot, he would have been running around spraying people himself. He never did because that was not the reason for his travel to Washington, D.C.,” they wrote.
Tanios pleaded guilty to two counts: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. Both are misdemeanors punishable by a maximum sentence of one year of imprisonment and a fine of up to $100,000.
Tanios isn’t accused of entering the Capitol on Jan. 6.
A trial for Khater is scheduled to start on Oct. 5.
Hogan had refused to free Tanios and Khater from jail before trial, calling them dangerous. The judge said Tanios “coordinated the direct assault” on Sicknick and two other officers.
“Mr. Khater did the spraying. Mr. Tanios did not, but he obviously worked with him on that despite (defense) counsel’s arguments,” Hogan said during a May 2021 hearing, according to a transcript.
But a federal appeals court ruled in August 2021 that Tanios could be released from pretrial detention. A three-judge panel concluded that Hogan erred in assessing the danger posed by Tanios, who didn’t have any felony convictions or ties to any extremist organizations.
Tanios operated a sandwich restaurant in Morgantown near West Virginia University’s campus. Khater told investigators that he drove from New Jersey to pick up Tanios in West Virginia before they traveled to Washington on the eve of the riot.
In a court filing last year, prosecutors said Tanios and Khater “carefully timed their assault on the officers to occur in tandem with an attack on the police barrier.”
“This allowed the defendants to assault the officers while they were distracted, maximizing their chances of landing chemical spray in their eyes and thus incapacitating them to the point where the police line would break,” they wrote.
More than 100 police officers were injured at the Capitol.
The medical examiner’s office concluded that a medical condition alone — not an injury — caused Sicknick’s death. U.S. Capitol Police said the medical examiner’s findings didn’t change the fact that Sicknick had died in the line of duty, “courageously defending Congress and the Capitol.”
“The attack on our officers, including Brian, was an attack on our democracy,” police officials said in a statement last year.
More than 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to Jan. 6. Over 340 have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 200 have been sentenced. More than 260 people are charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement during the riot, according to the Justice Department.
The longest prison sentence for a Capitol rioter so far is five years and three months.

Julietta Market expected to leave Greyline Station
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - There are many questions for dozens of Lexington businesses as Julietta Market appears to be cutting ties with Greyline Station.
Julietta Market is a 23,000-square-foot, multivendor public market that sits right in the heart of Greyline Station. However, developer Chad Needham says the market and its vendors may be calling somewhere else home this fall.
Adina Tatum runs the market. Tatum told the Lexington Herald-Leader that they can’t afford to stay here, but she says the market isn’t going away completely, either.
Chad Needham says they aren’t pushing the market out, but he thinks it would be a “great thing” if they parted ways.
“I think Greyline and Julietta Market have two different visions of where they want to go,” said Needham.
Tatum said the non-profit that runs the market hopes to find a space where they can continue to grow the small, minority-owned business. Needham says they want to fill the space with businesses that would be open six days a week.
“They have their visions they can do, and we look forward to continuing a vibrant open market there at Greyline,” said Needham.
Those with the market have until the end of the month to officially decide if they are going to stay or go.
It’s unclear what closing the market will mean for individual businesses sub-letting space. The lease expires at the end of October.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A children’s book author who prosecutors say killed her husband has been battling with his relatives over the family estate since his death last year, court documents show.
Kouri Richins, 33, is accused of poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their home in a small mountain town near Park City, according to charging documents.
The murder charges filed this week come months after Richins self-published “Are you with me?” — an illustrated storybook chronicling a young boy who wonders how his deceased father remains a presence in his life.
Prosecutors allege Richins called authorities in the middle of the night in March 2022 to report that her husband, Eric Richins, was “cold to the touch.” She told officers she had made her husband a mixed drink to celebrate him selling a multimillion-dollar home. She then went to soothe one of their children to sleep in the next bedroom. When she returned, she found her husband unresponsive, and she called 911, according to prosecutors.
A medical examiner later found five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.
In addition to the murder charge, Richins also faces charges involving the alleged possession of GHB — a narcolepsy drug frequently used in recreational settings, including at dance clubs.
The charges are based on officers’ interactions with Richins that night and the account of an “unnamed acquaintance” who claims to have sold her the fentanyl. The acquaintance told investigators they sold Richins the opioid hydrocodone once and fentanyl twice, in February and March 2022.
The charging documents allege Richins deleted text messages from the night of her husband’s death before handing her phone over to investigators and may have tried to poison her husband on Valentine’s Day, a month before his death.
“Shortly after their dinner, Eric became very ill. … Eric told a friend that he thought his wife was trying to poison him,” investigators wrote, referring to the Valentine’s Day incident.
Richins’ attorney, Skye Lazaro, declined to comment on the charges. The Utah Department of Child Protective Services did not respond to questions about where the children are while their mother is held without bail.
In Richins’ book, the boy wonders if his father, who has died, notices his goals at a soccer game, his nerves on the first day of school or the presents he found under a Christmas tree.
“Yes, I am with you,” an angel wing-clad father figure wearing a trucker hat responds. “I am with you when you scored that goal. … I am with you when you walk the halls. … I’m here and we’re together.”
Months before her arrest, Richins told news outlets that she decided to write “Are you with me?” after her husband unexpectedly died last year, leaving her widowed and raising three boys. She said she looked for materials for children on grieving loved ones and found few resources, so decided to create her own. She planned to write sequels.
In search warrants obtained by KSL.com and KPCW radio, family members interviewed by investigators indicate that Eric Richins was seeking to divorce Kouri and had recently changed his will and life insurance policy. One of Richins’ sisters told officers that Eric had long suspected his wife of attempting to poison him, including on a vacation to Greece several years ago. The warrants describe conflict between the couple over a $2 million home that Kouri purchased with the aim to resell it quickly despite the objections from her husband based on the price.
Civil court filings that were submitted in different cases after Eric Richins’ death outline how the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death have become entangled with questions over his assets and an estate held in a trust and managed by his sister. Richins has fought with members of her deceased husband’s family since the day after his death in March 2022, the documents show.
Richins and her sister-in-law had a fight the day after Eric’s death at the family home, according to the documents. She subsequently sued for more than $3.6 million and to remove Katie Richins-Benson as trustee, arguing that a prenuptial agreement she and her husband signed entitled her to his assets if he died before they divorced.
It remains unclear how the estate dispute will be affected by the murder and drug possession charges against Richins. Utah law prohibits those convicted of homicide from profiting from their crime.

ASHBURN
Since 2000, there have only been two seasons where Washington has won 10 games.
The first was in 2005, the peak of Joe Gibbs’ return, which included the team’s most recent playoff victory.
The other was in 2012, with Robert Griffin III.
It’s been 10 years now since we saw RGIII flying down the sideline, a 76-yard touchdown run against the Vikings that established him as a must-watch NFL superstar.
Watching today, it feels like the clip is straight out of a 1940’s Hollywood newsreel. The team name has since been changed, the announcer (Larry Michael) was swept out amid allegations of sexual misconduct, the stadium itself has had thousands of seats removed, and even Griffin’s top blocker, Trent Williams, left acrimoniously over alleged failures of the team’s medical staff.
People are also reading…
In Richmond, an unheard-of 33% of the city’s televisions were watching as Washington beat the Cowboys to clinch a playoff spot. It was the high point of Dan Snyder’s tenure as Washington owner, an electrifying high fans have been chasing, and missing, ever since.
So when the team released its ballot to choose the latest additions to the franchise’s list of greatest players, it was surprising to see Griffin omitted.
Williams was also left off, but his feud with the team provided a plausible, if unsatisfactory, explanation. Griffin’s lone foray into critique of Snyder has been a planned book about his time in Washington that was later shelved.
The list of greatest players will expand to 90 in honor of the team’s 90th anniversary, with a fan vote to decide the 10 newest additions.
There was a time when suggesting a player with only one good season to his name would be blasphemy. No longer. Griffin’s season was so good it begs inclusion on the list.
(A quick tangent to note that Griffin wouldn’t be the No. 1 pick on my ballot — Williams, Chris Cooley, Ryan Kerrigan, Santana Moss, DeAngelo Hall and London Fletcher are inarguable locks. But that still leaves plenty of room for Griffin.)
Griffin’s name was later added to the list, which in true Washington fashion was also riddled with typos and other errors.
The debate here is no different than many discussions about legacy — how much does it count against a player when his peak was shorter than the average star?
In Griffin’s case, it certainly matters. One season is hardly enough to establish a legacy. After a 2013 season marred by dissent, Griffin opened 2014 by showing a glimpse of his old style against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He ran twice, for 22 yards. The second ended with an ankle injury that ultimately ended his productive NFL career.
But for a franchise that has had so little for so long in the Snyder era, Griffin’s success was a shooting star that will not soon be forgotten.
He united the fan base, packed the stands and had viewers nationally tuning in each week just to see what he’d do next.
Alas, Griffin’s breakout season also became his breakdown season, meaning to fans of 31 other teams he’s merely a footnote in the historical record.
In Washington, though, Griffin represents a rare beacon of hope in the otherwise forgettable Snyder era, the notion that, at least for a few months, things were going to turn out just fine.
They didn’t, but that’s no reason to deny Griffin his spot in franchise lore.

More US firms in Taiwan say they’re seeing ‘significant disruption’ due to rising tension with China
By Eric Cheung, CNN
The number of companies in Taiwan saying they’re experiencing business disruptions due to rising tensions between Taipei and Beijing has almost doubled, according to the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan.
An annual survey, which polled 214 member firms in Taiwan, showed that the number of companies reporting “significant disruption” rose from 17% to 33% between August and December 2022, the chamber said Tuesday.
Last August, then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei, and China stepped up military drills in response. China’s ruling Communist Party has increasingly exerted its territorial claims over democratic Taiwan, a self-governing island, despite having never controlled it.
The business disruptions were caused by elevated concern from global headquarters, increased shipping, insurance or financial costs, as well as staff anxiety, the chamber explained.
Almost half of the companies that the chamber surveyed said they’re developing contingency plans in response to the heightened tension.
Just last month, China sent 28 warplanes across the median line of the Taiwan Strait, as Beijing conducted its first large-scale military exercises around the island this year, according to Taiwan’s Defense Ministry.
“For companies in Taiwan, cross-strait relations are very important,” Kristie Hsu, a director at Taiwan’s Chung-Hua Institution of Economic Research, told CNN.
She added that concerns include possible supply chain disruptions or unilateral measures that could undermine trade.
The chamber reported that two-thirds of its members surveyed said political uncertainty was the biggest factor deterring them from further investment in Taiwan.
“It is an unsettled environment, and we would expect firms here on the ground to prudently look forward,” AmCham Taiwan President Andrew Wylegala told reporters, adding that none of its members had left Taiwan due to concerns over rising geopolitical tensions.
To reduce the likelihood of future disruptions, 28% of the businesses that the chamber surveyed said they are working on readjusting supply chains, while 18% said they are expanding to additional locations outside Taiwan.

A surge of anti-Jewish vitriol, spread by a world-famous rapper, an NBA star and other prominent people, is stoking fears that public figures are normalizing hate and ramping up the risk of violence in a country already experiencing a sharp increase in antisemitism.
Leaders of the Jewish community in the U.S. and extremism experts have been alarmed to see celebrities with massive followings spew antisemitic tropes in a way that has been taboo for decades. Some said it harkens back to a darker time in America when powerful people routinely spread conspiracy theories about Jews with impunity.
Former President Donald Trump hosted a Holocaust-denying white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago. The rapper Ye expressed love for Adolf Hitler in an interview. Basketball star Kyrie Irving appeared to promote an antisemitic film on social media. Neo-Nazi trolls are clamoring to return to Twitter as new CEO Elon Musk grants “amnesty” to suspended accounts.
“These are not fringe outliers sending emails from their parents garage or idiots no one has ever heard of. When influential mainstream cultural, political and even sports icons normalize hate speech, everyone needs to be very concerned,” said Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber, a leader in South Florida’s Jewish community.
Northwestern University history professor Peter Hayes, who specializes in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, said normalizing antisemitism is a “real possibility” when there is a “public discussion of things that used to be beneath contempt.”
“I'm very concerned about it," Hayes said. "It’s one of the many ways in which America has to get a grip and and stop toying with concepts and ideas that are potentially murderous.”
Trump hosted Ye — the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for dinner at his Florida home on Nov. 22.
Fuentes was a Boston University student when he attended a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that erupted in violence in 2017. He became an internet personality who used his platform to spread white supremacist and antisemitic views. Fuentes leads a far-right extremist movement called “America First,” with supporters known as “Groypers.”
On Thursday, Fuentes joined Ye in appearing on the Infowars show hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Ye praised Hitler during the interview, ratcheting up the rhetoric that already cost him a lucrative business deal with Adidas.
Jonathan Greenblatt, national director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said it is astonishing and alarming that two of the nation’s leading purveyors of antisemitism were “breaking bread with the erstwhile head of the GOP.”
“I would characterize this as the normalization of antisemitism. It has now become part of the political process in a way we hadn’t seen before,” Greenblatt said. “And that is not unique to Republicans. It is not just a Republican problem. It is a societal problem.”
Most Americans knew it was “beyond the pale” when torch-toting white supremacists marched through the University of Virginia's campus on the eve of the 2017 rally, said Amy Spitalnick, executive director of Integrity First for America, a group that backed a lawsuit against organizers of the Charlottesville rally.
“What’s even more dangerous than Nazis with torches chanting, ‘Jews will not replace us,’ is when we have political leaders and others espousing those same conspiracy theories in increasingly normalized ways,” she said.
Spitalnick said the virulent hatred that Ye has been spewing can make diluted expressions of antisemitism seem more normal in contrast.
“It’s crucial that we hold Kanye and Irving and these other public figures accountable for their antisemitism. But it means nothing if we’re not also recognizing and holding accountable the ways in which this antisemitism and extremism has seeped into the mainstream of one of our major political parties and become commonplace in our political discourse,” she said.
Trump's critics and even some of his allies condemned the former president for hosting Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. Trump claimed that he knew nothing about Fuentes before the dinner and defended his decision to host Ye at his club.
Twitter suspended Ye’s account this week after he tweeted a picture of a swastika merged with the Star of David. Musk tweeted that Ye had violated a rule against inciting violence.
Musk announced last week that his “amnesty” plan applied to accounts that haven't “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.” Online safety experts predict that the move will lead to a rise in harassment and hate speech.
Groups that monitor Twitter for racist and antisemitic content say toxic speech already has been on the rise in the month since Musk took over the platform and fired thousands of employees. Content moderators were among those who lost their jobs.
Watchdogs also have rebuked Musk for some of his own tweets, including posting a meme featuring Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that was hijacked by far-right extremists.
In April, the Anti-Defamation League announced that its annual tally of antisemitic incidents reached a record high last year. The organization counted 2,717 incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism in 2021, a 34% increase over the previous year and the highest number since the ADL began tracking the events in 1979.
For generations, famous Americans including Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh unapologetically expressed antisemitic sentiments. The internet and social media made it easier for world-famous entertainers like Ye and athletes like Irving to abuse their influence and normalize anti-Jewish hate.
For somebody of Ye's status to praise Nazis and Hitler is “escalating from ugliness to a kind of incitement,” Greenblatt said. He noted that Jewish institutions already have to beef up security to protect against attacks such as the one in which a gunman killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018.
“Our community still has to brace for the consequences of those ideas going mainstream,” Greenblatt said.

Argentina: Prosecutor calls for trial of suspects in VP assassination attempt
By DANIEL POLITI
Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The prosecutor in Argentina who is leading the investigation into the failed assassination attempt against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has called for the three detained suspects to face trial as he said there is so far no evidence that points to political financing or planning of the alleged crime. Fernández de Kirchner, a former president (2007-2015) who remains politically powerful, harshly criticized the prosecutor, and the justice system as a whole, claiming there didn’t seem to be any interest in investigating who could have been behind the Sept. 1, 2022 assassination attempt.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson, of Iowa, was released Tuesday morning from a Cedar Rapids hospital where she was being treated for a kidney infection, her office said.
Hinson spent two nights in UnityPoint St. Luke’s Hospital after being admitted Sunday evening, according to her office.
“I am feeling much better, will continue resting at home, and look forward to getting out on the road to be with Iowans soon,” Hinson said in a statement Tuesday morning.
A debate scheduled for Tuesday night between Hinson, a Republican, and her Democratic challenger, Liz Mathis, was canceled in light of Hinson’s medical emergency.
Iowa PBS, which was hosting the debate, said there are no plans to reschedule the debate.

Former Whitnall School District employee charged with falsifying school board election results
A former Whitnall School District employee has been charged with falsifying results for the election of the School Board's president.
Shari Rodriguez, 53, was charged June 22 with one felony count of misconduct in public office (act in excess of lawful authority). If convicted, she could face up to a $10,000 fine or three years and six months in prison or both, according to online court records.
Rodriguez was the executive assistant to the Whitnall School District superintendent and Whitnall School Board. She was in charge of collecting the votes from school board members, counting them and announcing the results but had no authority to change the votes themselves, the criminal complaint said.
On April 24, the board held its annual reorganization in which its members elect the president, vice president, treasurer and clerk from its membership.
During the vote for president, Rodriguez handed paper ballots to each board member. She then collected the ballots.
Board members Jason Craig and Kevin Stachowiak were nominated for board president. VIdeo of the April 24 meeting shows that when Rodriguez read the votes, she read off four votes for Stachowiak and three for Craig.
That led board member Karen Mikolainis — who is shown in the video but not named in the complaint — to ask for a recount. A second vote led to the same result.
An investigation revealed the vote reporting was inaccurate and that the actual winner was Craig, the complaint said.
The complaint said Rodriguez told another school district employee that she thought about keeping an extra ballot with Stachowiak's name on it. Rodriguez called that employee later that evening to admit she gave an extra vote to Stachowiak and approached the employee the next day at work to tell him what she did.
That employee told district superintendent Lisa Olson what had happened.
Rodriguez admitted switching to votes to both Olson and a detective , the complaint said. She told the detective she did so "because she was working 12-hour days and thought having (Stachowiak) as president would relieve some of her workload," the complaint said.
Rodriguez was initially put on administrative leave and later fired, the complaint noted.
A statement released by the board April 27, after Rodriguez was fired, said, "This is an egregious violation that does not reflect the expected conduct of district employees."
The board held another reorganization vote May 8 at which board members elected Craig as the board president, board member Cassie Rainer as vice president, Mikolainis as treasurer and board member Rachel Scherrer as clerk.
Attempts to reach Rodriguez have been unsuccessful.
She is scheduled to make her initial appearance in court July 6.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is making modest moves in mixed trading Monday, as stocks hold onto most of the huge gains made last week on hopes the worst of the nation’s inflation may finally have passed.
The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher in afternoon trading after drifting between losses and gains several times through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 75 points, or 0.2%, at 33,823, as of 3:10 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was virtually down 0.1%.
Wall Street is coming off its best week since June, after investors took an encouraging report on inflation to mean the Federal Reserve may ease up on its fusillade of interest-rate hikes meant to get prices under control. Such rate hikes have raised worries about a possible recession sinking the economy, while also dragging down prices for stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies.
Some analysts have called Wall Street’s recent rally overdone, including a 5.5% surge for the S&P 500 on Thursday alone, saying one report does not mean the coast is clear, even if it was encouraging. Some officials at the Federal Reserve have also urged caution, with Fed Governor Christopher Waller saying the better-than-expected reading on inflation for October “was just one data point” and that “everybody should just take a deep breath.”
But on Monday, stocks got a boost after Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard gave comments that investors took as a hint that the worst of the Fed's rate hikes may have passed.
“The inflation data was reassuring, preliminarily,” she said. “It will probably be appropriate, soon, to move to a slower pace of rate increases.”
In each of its last four meetings, the Fed has hiked its key overnight rate by a big 0.75 percentage points, which is triple the usual amount. Bets have increased since last week’s inflation report that the Fed’s next move will be an increase of only 0.50 percentage points. While that’s still a big increase relative to history, investors are starving for any indication the Fed may ease up on its rate hikes.
Even before last week's report on inflation, Fed Chair Jerome Powell already said such a dial down in the size of rate hikes may be imminent. But he also said the Fed nevertheless could still ultimately take rates higher than earlier expected, and that it may hold rates at that high level a while to make sure inflation stays under control.
Fed officials have been reiterating how the Fed's campaign against high inflation still looks to be a long one.
“Quit paying attention to the pace and start paying attention to where the endpoint is going to be," Waller said. "Until we get inflation down, that endpoint is still a ways out there.”
Uncertainty about the Fed's path on rates helped have the stocks in the S&P 500 nearly evenly split between winners and losers.
Hasbro fell 8.9% for the largest loss in the index after analysts in a BofA Global Research report raised concerns the company may be overproducing cards for its "Magic: The Gathering" game, threatening to undercut a lucrative business.
On the winning side was Moderna, which climbed 6.1% after reporting encouraging data on its bivalent vaccine targeting COVID-19.
Bond yields rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set mortgage rates, rose to 3.87% from 3.81% late Thursday. Bond markets were closed Friday for Veterans Day.
Crypto-related stocks kept whipsawing following the implosion last week of FTX, a major crypto trading exchange. Coinbase, another crypto exchange platform, was off 5.7%.
Several economic reports due this week could offer more clues about where inflation is heading.
On Tuesday, the government will issue its October report on prices at the wholesale level. Economists say inflation there likely slowed to 8.3% from September’s 8.5% rate for year-over-year price changes.
On Wednesday, markets will see how resilient U.S. households have been in their spending when the government gives its latest monthly update on sales at retailers.
Economists say retail sales likely grew 0.9% in October from a month earlier, a much stronger showing than September's flat performance. The data, though, does not take inflation into account and could be a reflection of nothing more than higher prices being charged at the register.
Retailers could offer more color on that, with a long line of them scheduled to say this week how much profit they earned during the summer.
Home Depot and Walmart report earnings on Tuesday. Target reports its results on Wednesday, and Macy's reports results on Thursday.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — FIFA has denied Belgium’s request to wear team jerseys with a “Love” label at the World Cup in Qatar because of a commercial link to a rave festival.
Multi-color detail on the white shirt was described as a “symbol for mutual values on diversity, equality and inclusivity” at the September launch by Belgium’s signature electronic music event Tomorrowland.
But FIFA rules on team uniforms and equipment forced Belgium to change its World Cup plans for its first alternate jersey to the traditional red.
“We had to skip it for commercial reasons because of referring to Tomorrowland,” the Belgian soccer federation said Monday.
FIFA declined to comment on its ruling regarding the second-choice jersey, which was made several weeks ago.
The decision emerged Monday after FIFA flexed its power to crack down on Belgium and six other European teams for wanting their captains to wear the “One Love” armband with a multi-colored, heart-shaped logo in Qatar. The teams backed down when FIFA threatened instant yellow cards for each captain.
The armband, which breaks FIFA equipment rules, was to support a Dutch anti-discrimination campaign that drew attention to the host nation’s record on human rights.
The “One Love” campaign highlighted little-known FIFA rules that Belgium also fell foul of.
All 32 World Cup teams had to seek FIFA approval for designs and colors of three contrasting team uniforms months ahead of the tournament. FIFA has now approved the white Belgium jersey with the same colored trim but the “Love” label covered up on the inside of the collar.
“In principle we could play in it (at the World Cup),” the Belgian soccer federation said, “but meanwhile we chose to play in red for the group-stage matches.”
Belgium starts its Group F program against Canada on Wednesday. The 2018 World Cup semifinalists then play Morocco and Croatia, the losing finalist from four years ago.
A similar case enforced by European soccer body UEFA last year saw Ajax denied permission to include a "Three Little Birds" motif on a shirt inspired by reggae music icon Bob Marley for Champions League games.
Ajax could wear the black shirt with gold, red and green trim to honor its fans' anthem but UEFA ruled the motif had to be removed from the back of the shirt.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jon Rahm turned the longest day into his sweetest victory, starting Sunday with a four-shot deficit in the morning chill and finishing in fading sunlight as the fourth Spaniard to become a Masters champion.
Rahm closed with a 3-under 69 to pull away from mistake-prone Brooks Koepka. He won by four shots over Koepka and 52-year-old Phil Mickelson, who matched the low score of the tournament with a 65. He is the oldest runner-up in Masters history.
It was Mickelson who declared Rahm would be among golf’s biggest stars even before the Spaniard turned pro in 2016. Rahm now has a green jacket to go along with his U.S. Open title he won in 2021 at Torrey Pines.
“It was obvious to me at a very young age that he was one of the best players in the world even while he was in college,” Mickelson said. “To see him on this stage is not surprising for anybody.”
Rahm made up two shots on Koepka over the final 12 holes of the rain-delayed third round and started the final round two shots behind. He seized on Koepka’s collapse and then surged so far ahead that Mickelson’s amazing closing round — the best final round ever at Augusta National for the three-time Masters champion — was never going to be enough.
Nothing was more satisfying than an uphill climb to the 18th green to claim the green jacket on a day when Spanish stars aligned. Sunday is the birthdate of his idol, the late Seve Ballesteros, and this is the 40-year anniversary of Ballesteros winning his second Masters title.
Rahm embraced his wife and two children, and as he walked toward the scoring room, there was two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal in his green jacket for the strongest hug of all and a few words that included Ballesteros.
“He said he hopes it’s the first of many more,” Rahm said in Butler Cabin. “We both mentioned something about Seve, and if he had given us 10 more seconds, I think we would have both ended up crying.”
Sergio Garcia was the low amateur in 1999 when Olazábal won his second green jacket, and then Garcia won in 2017, the year Rahm made his Masters debut.
Not to be overlooked was just registering to play this week. Caddies are assigned numbers on their white coveralls in numerical order for when their players check in. Rahm’s caddie, Adam Hayes, had No. 49 — 4/9, the birthday of Ballesteros.
Stars aligned, and Rahm played some world-class golf. And to think he began the tournament with a four-putt double bogey on the opening hole.
Rahm won for the fourth time this year — just as Scottie Scheffler did a year ago when he won the Masters — and reclaimed the No. 1 world ranking from Scheffler.
This Masters had a little bit of everything — hot and humid at the start, a cold front with wind that toppled three trees on Friday, putting surfaces saturated from rain on Saturday and a marathon finish Sunday as Rahm and Koepka went 30 holes.
Koepka helped to pave the way with one miscue after another, losing the lead for the first time since Thursday afternoon when he chipped 20 feet past the hole from behind the par-3 sixth and made his second bogey. There would be more to come.
“Just some days you have it, some days you don’t, and [Sunday] wasn’t one of those,” Koepka said. “But I feel good, and I expect to be there the other three [majors].”
Koepka went 22 consecutive holes Sunday without a birdie — from the par-5 eighth hole in the morning of the third round until the par-5 13th in final round. By then, he was three shots behind and Rahm all but sealed it with his next shot.
He hit a low cut around a tree from right of the 14th fairway and it caught a slope just right on the 14th green and fed down to 3 feet for a birdie. When Koepka three-putted for bogey, it was a matter of finishing.
Rahm hooked his tee shot into the trees on the final hole and didn’t reach the fairway. No matter. He played up the fairway, hit wedge to 3 feet and tapped in for the victory.
The leaderboard was littered with major champions and a tinge of Saudi-funded LIV Golf. Mickelson and Koepka both are part of the rival circuit. Former Masters champion Patrick Reed, another player who defected to LIV, closed with a 68 and tied for fourth with Jordan Spieth (66) and Russell Henley.
Tiger Woods wasn’t around for the finish. He withdrew Sunday morning before the third round resumed, saying plantar fasciitis in his foot was aggravating him. Woods also withdrew after three rounds of the PGA Championship last year in similarly cold, windy conditions at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Mickelson barely contends over 54 holes in the 48-man LIV Golf league. And then he played like the six-time major champion who two years ago became the oldest major champion at age 50 when he won the PGA Championship.
He stuffed his tee shot on the par-3 sixth, birdied the seventh and then finished in style. His approach to the 17th came within inches of going in for an eagle, and he pumped his first when his 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th dropped for a 65.
It matched his lowest score ever at Augusta National — he shot 65 in the opening round in the 1996 Masters and was at his Sunday best.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t enough, but it was really a lot of fun for me to play at this level again, and it’s encouraging for me going forward the rest of the year,” Mickelson said.
Rahm called it an incredible day, especially with his father coming over from Spain. He concluded his remarks at the trophy presentation on the 18th green by saying, “Happy Easter. And rest in peace, Seve.”
He then made the sign of the cross, kissed his finger and pointed to the blue sky.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Fresh off an event trumpeting Kentucky’s largest-ever economic development project, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear filed for reelection Monday, touting his work to increase jobs, expand health care and support teachers during a term marred by a pandemic and deadly storms.
Beshear defended his efforts to combat COVID-19 and downplayed any potential political backlash from virus-related restrictions he placed on businesses and gatherings. The global health crisis gave him unprecedented access to Kentuckians through frequent news conferences held to guide them through the crisis.
“I think the voters of Kentucky — who by now know me pretty well — know that I’ll work for them tirelessly each and every day,” the governor told reporters Monday at the state Capitol.
Beshear, 45, the son of former two-term Gov. Steve Beshear, was accompanied by his wife, their two children and his parents as he submitted paperwork to the secretary of state’s office for the 2023 election. Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, who will run with him again next year, also joined him.
Polling has consistently shown the governor receiving high job-performance ratings from Kentuckians. But Beshear faces a tough reelection fight in a state trending heavily in favor of Republicans. GOP candidates, including several who have battled him on legal and political fronts during his first term in office, are lining up for the chance to challenge him next year.
“The fundamentals are strong for a Republican candidate to defeat him, and we stand ready to support our nominee once the primary process is concluded,” state GOP spokesman Sean Southard said in a statement Monday. “In 2023, the Andy Beshear show will have its final season.”
With the spring primary months away, Beshear batted away questions about potential rivals.
“When you’ve governed through a pandemic and tornadoes and ice storms, who your potential opponents are don’t keep you up at night,” he said. “I’m focused on doing a good job.”
Earlier in the day, Beshear spoke at an event showcasing progress by Ford and its South Korean partner in developing a battery production venture at Glendale in central Kentucky. The mega-project — landed by Beshear last year and ranking as the largest in state history — will employ 5,000 workers to produce batteries for future Ford and Lincoln electric vehicles.
The governor has consistently touted the state’s economic successes during his tenure. On Monday, he declared it the state’s “greatest two years of economic development in our lifetime, creating more jobs than ever before.”
Beshear pointed to his efforts to expand access to health care. He relaunched a state-run web portal first started by his father’s administration that signs up Kentuckians for health coverage, which had been dismantled by the Republican governor who served for a single term between them, Matt Bevin.
Beshear said he will keep pushing for higher pay for educators to help overcome a statewide teacher shortage.
The governor has urged the legislature to reopen the state budget next year amid unprecedented budget surpluses to pump more money into public schools. Lawmakers left it up to local school districts to decide whether to use additional state funding to provide higher pay to teachers and other school staff. Most districts have awarded pay raises, Republicans say.
But the governor says more needs to be done. Republicans, meanwhile, are trying to blame Beshear for the pandemic-related setbacks in statewide test scores.
Beshear said Monday that Kentuckians will be remembered for their perseverance against the pandemic and in overcoming deadly tornadoes and flooding during his term. He has come under blistering GOP attacks for his handling of the pandemic, but he stoutly defended his actions.
“We made the hard decisions when they were the right decisions,” Beshear said. “I was going to put the lives of our people ahead of any personal ambition. And what I said then, is if we saved more lives but they ran me out of town, then OK. I’m going to remain proud of what our team did together, regardless of any consequences.”

Affordability remains the biggest challenge facing home buyers today, but this small step forward is a welcome sight
- The cost of a new mortgage dropped 4.8% in November as mortgage rates dipped.
- Housing market activity is as chilled as it has been since the start of the pandemic.
- Rents fell by the largest amount in at least seven years.
SEATTLE, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After months of watching the cost of a new mortgage rise higher and higher, home buyers finally saw some relief in November. A combination of declining home values and lower mortgage rates brought the monthly mortgage payment on a typical U.S. home down by about $100, according to the latest Zillow® Market Report1. Still, monthly mortgage costs are up $720, or 66.1%, over the past year2.
U.S. home values are easing down as affordability challenges vex potential buyers. The typical U.S. home is worth $357,733, 0.2% less than in October and down 0.5% from a peak in June. Higher mortgage rates shoulder much of the responsibility for today's chilled market. By the same token, mortgage rates falling in November brought monthly costs down for the first time since July, and for only the second time in the past 19 months. While it's unlikely affordability will significantly improve anytime soon, November's news is a positive sign that affordability may at least stabilize in 2023, helping households budget and plan for housing decisions in the months and years ahead.
"The housing market entered a deep freeze this November as buyers paused their purchasing plans, likely till after New Year's in many cases," said Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker. "The two big questions are whether mortgage rates will continue to decline, and whether that will be enough to bring buyers back in time for the spring selling season. In the meantime, those on the prowl for a house will benefit from motivated sellers, unusual bargains and a welcome lack of competition."
While national home value declines from peak levels have been minimal, some markets have seen significant changes. The largest declines from peak are in the most expensive markets — San Jose (-10.6%) and San Francisco (-9.5%) — as well as Western markets that saw the largest pandemic-era appreciation: Austin (-10.4%), Phoenix (-8.1%) and Las Vegas (-8%).
Of the 14 major markets in which home values are still growing, almost all are less expensive than the national average and are located in the inland South or Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Relative affordability in the latter two areas is one reason Zillow economists expect them to host the healthiest housing markets in 2023.
But the slight drop in mortgage costs isn't reinvigorating the market yet. Between the annual winter doldrums and serious affordability concerns, activity in the market was as slow as it's been since the outbreak of the pandemic; both sales and new listings of existing homes continued to fall in November.
The number of listings that went pending in November fell by 16.5% from October and is down 38% compared to last November. New listings — the flow of existing homes onto the market from sellers — are also anemic, sitting 25.4% lower than last year. Many homeowners who might like to sell their home are being deterred by the higher borrowing cost they'd need to pay on their next home's mortgage.
Beyond the slight decline in mortgage costs, reduced activity and competition in the market brought a bit more good news to those still on the hunt for a house or those who are considering jumping in. Total inventory is up 7% year over year, by far the largest increase since at least the start of 2018. Listings' median time on market before going pending is now 22 days — twice as long as last November and a far cry from the trough of six days in March and April.
Renters received relief, as well. U.S. rents fell 0.4% from October to November, the largest one-month decline in the seven-year history of the Zillow Observed Rent Index. This comes on top of a 0.1% decline in October, and decisively closes the door on a period of nearly two years of above-average monthly rent increases that began in November 2020.

The uncrewed Artemis I mission is ready for another launch attempt this weekend.
The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft are scheduled to lift off between 2:17 and 4:17 p.m. ET Saturday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Although there is no crew aboard, the mission is the first step of the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon and eventually land them on Mars
There is a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch, with chances increasing to 80% favorable toward the end of the window, weather officer Melody Lovin said during a Friday morning news conference.
If the rocket is unable to launch Saturday, the next possible launch window would be Monday.
Once it launches, the Orion spacecraft will enter a distant retrograde orbit of the moon and travel 40,000 miles beyond it, going farther than any spacecraft intended to carry humans. Crews will ride aboard Artemis II on a similar trajectory in 2024, and astronauts are slated to arrive at the lunar south pole in late 2025 on the Artemis III mission. The Artemis program aims to land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon.
The agency will share live views and coverage in English and Spanish before, during and after the Artemis I launch on its website and on NASA TV. The broadcast will begin at 5:45 a.m. ET as supercold propellant is loaded into the SLS rocket.
After the launch, NASA will conduct a briefing and later Saturday will share the first Earth views from cameras aboard the Orion spacecraft. The Virtual Telescope Project will attempt to share live views of Orion on its way to the moon shortly after launch.
Orion's journey will last about 38 days as it travels to the moon, loops around it and returns to Earth -- traveling 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers). The capsule will splash down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego on October 11.
Cameras inside and outside of Orion will share images and video throughout the mission, including live views from the Callisto experiment, which will capture a stream of a mannequin called Commander Moonikin Campos in the commander's seat. If you have an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, you can ask it about the mission's location each day.
Here's everything you can expect before, during and after the launch.
Counting down to launch
Early Saturday, the launch team will conduct a briefing on weather conditions and decide whether to begin fueling the rocket.
If everything looks good, the team will begin fueling the rocket's core stage and then move on to fueling its upper stage. Afterward, the team will top off and replenish any of the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that dissipates during the fueling process.
About 50 minutes before launch, the final NASA test director briefing will occur. The launch director will poll the team to make sure every station is a "go" 15 minutes ahead of liftoff.
At 10 minutes and counting, things kick into high gear as the spacecraft and rocket go through the final steps. Much of the action takes place in the final minute as the ground launch sequencer sends the command for the rocket flight computer's automated launching sequencer to take over.
In the last few seconds, hydrogen will burn off, the four RS-25 engines will start, resulting in booster ignition and liftoff at T minus zero.
Journey to the moon
The solid rocket boosters will separate from the spacecraft about two minutes into the flight and splash down in the Atlantic Ocean, with other components also jettisoning shortly afterward. The core stage of the rocket will separate about eight minutes later and fall toward the Pacific, allowing for Orion's solar array wings to deploy.
The perigee raise maneuver will occur about 12 minutes after launch, when the interim cryogenic propulsion stage experiences a burn to raise Orion's altitude so it doesn't reenter the Earth's atmosphere.
Shortly afterward is the trans-lunar injection burn, when the ICPS boosts Orion's speed from 17,500 miles per hour (28,163 kilometers per hour) to 22,600 miles per hour (36,371 kilometers per hour) to escape the pull of Earth's gravity and set off for the moon.
After this burn, the ICPS will separate from Orion.
Around 9:45 p.m. ET, Orion will make its first outbound trajectory correction burn using the European Service Module, which provides the spacecraft with power, propulsion and thermal control. This maneuver will put Orion on a path to the moon.
The next few days after launch, Orion will venture out to the moon, coming within 60 miles (96 kilometers) during its closest approach on day six of the journey. The service module will place Orion in a distant retrograde orbit around the moon on day 10.
Orion will also surpass the distance record of 248,654 miles (400,169 kilometers) -- set by Apollo 13 in 1970 -- on day 10 when it loops around the moon. The spacecraft will achieve its maximum distance from Earth of 280,000 miles (450,616 kilometers) on September 23 when it ventures 40,000 miles (64,373 kilometers) beyond the moon.
This is 30,000 miles (48,280 kilometers) farther than Apollo 13's record.
Orion will make its second-closest approach of the lunar surface, coming within 500 miles (804 kilometers), on October 5. The service module will experience a burn that enables the moon's gravity to slingshot Orion back on its way to Earth.
Just before reentering Earth's atmosphere, the service module will separate from Orion. The spacecraft will hit the top of Earth's atmosphere moving at about 25,000 miles per hour (40,233 kilometers per hour), and its heat shield will experience temperatures of nearly 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 degrees Celsius).
The atmosphere will slow Orion down to about 300 miles per hour (482 kilometers per hour), and a series of parachutes will slow it down to less than 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour) before it splashes down in the Pacific at 2:10 p.m. ET on October 11.
Splashdown will be streamed live from NASA's website, with views from 17 cameras aboard the recovery ship and helicopters waiting for Orion's return.
The landing and recovery team will collect the Orion capsule, and data from the spacecraft will determine the lessons learned before humans return to the moon.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") and KSF partner, former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have until September 6, 2022 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Outset Medical, Inc. ("Outset" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: OM), if they purchased the Company's shares between September 15, 2020 and June 13, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
If you purchased shares of Outset as above and would like to discuss your legal rights and how this case might affect you and your right to recover for your economic loss, you may, without obligation or cost to you, contact KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or via email (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nasdaqgs-om/ to learn more. If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in this class action, you must petition the Court by September 6, 2022.
Outset and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On May 5, 2022, the Company disclosed negative results for 1Q2022, which, among other things, analysts attributed to the untested nature of Tablo, its flagship product which is a dialysis machine that purifies tap water and then artificially purifies and removes toxins from the blood of patients suffering from kidney failure. On this news, shares of Outset fell more than 40% over the three trading days that followed, from a closing price of $39.94 per share on May 4, 2022, to a closing price of $23.06 per share on May 9, 2022.
Then, on June 13, 2022, the Company disclosed a hold on all shipments of Tablo for home use by the FDA until proper regulatory clearance was received. The Company subsequently disclosed that the "ship hold" had been in place for weeks before investors were informed and that as a result of the hold, the Company was "suspending our prior full-year and long-term guidance.". On this news, shares of Outset fell another 33%, from a closing price of $20.41 per share on June 13, 2022, to a closing price of $13.46 per share on June 14, 2022.
The case is Plymouth County Retirement Association v. Outset Medical, Inc., 22-cv-04016.

It's happening again. Hospital beds are getting scarce and emergency rooms are full of very sick patients.
But it isn't COVID-19 and the patients aren't high-risk adults. Children are experiencing a nationwide surge in respiratory illnesses that is putting a major strain on pediatric capacity in the Chicago area, say doctors at three Chicago children's hospitals.

(NewsNation) — Two U.S. citizens have died in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the State Department announced Saturday.
“We are in touch with the families and providing all possible consular assistance,” a State Department spokesperson said in a statement to NewsNation. “Out of respect to the families during this difficult time, we have nothing further to add.”
President Joe Biden has made it clear that he does not want U.S. troops fighting the war that broke out after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. But in the aftermath of the invasion, about 4,000 Americans expressed interest in joining the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine, formed shortly after the invasion, The Washington Post reported.
At least two other Americans are believed to have died in the conflict so far. Willy Joseph Cancel, a 22-year-old former Marine from Tennessee was killed in April, while the State Department confirmed Stephen Zabielski’s death in June.

DETROIT (AP) — Rickie Fowler tilted his head back, exhaled and smiled.
He finally did it, holding on for a win after so many have slipped away.
Refusing to crumble and collapse again, Fowler made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole of the Rocket Mortgage Classic and outlasted Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin on Sunday, two weeks after squandering a chance at the U.S. Open.
“It’s just nice to have this one out of the way,” Fowler said after winning for the first time in four years. “I’m obviously going to soak this one in and celebrate a bit.
“Yeah, it’s just been a long road.”
Fowler ended a career-long, 96-start championship drought after missing out on two chances to win in June, closing with a 75 at the U.S. Open to tie for fifth and with a 69 last week at the Travelers Championship to drop into a tie for 13th.
Followed all day by a sea of orange at Detroit Golf Club, Fowler was knocked down on the leaderboard by a near record-tying-round from Morikawa. He responded on his 72nd hole of the tournament with an approach from 145 feet that left him with a 3-foot birdie putt to pull into a three-way tie with Morikawa and Hadwin at 24 under.
Fowler hit an errant tee shot way right in the playoff and after a drop, his approach from 184 landed 12 feet from the cup. Morikawa was inches long on his approach and instead of having the ball spin back to the hole, it bounced into the rough.
“I truly thought I hit the perfect shot,” Morikawa said. “It just was a little juiced, went a little far and just didn’t have the putter in the hand. Not that the chip wasn’t possible, but would have been nice to have the putter in the hand.”
Hadwin missed a 22-foot putt and Morikawa his chip, opening the door for Fowler to close out the tournament before thunderstorms rolled over Detroit.
“I knew it was just a matter of time with how I’ve been playing,” said Fowler, who has eight top-10 finishes this season. “I’ve had a couple tough weekends where I had a chance.”
Even though Morikawa was disappointed in coming up short on a victory he has been shooting for since winning the 2021 British Open, he was happy for Fowler.
“He’s been playing phenomenal golf, it’s great to see,” he said. “People love him.”
Morikawa’s 8-under round put him one shot back from the course record of 63. Hadwin shot a 67 and Fowler a 68.
Fowler had a share of the 54-hole lead last month at Los Angeles Country Club with an opportunity to win his first major and was at least a co-leader after three rounds in one tournament in each of the previous two years.
Before his breakthrough in Detroit, he had won just two of the 10 times he was the third-round leader or co-leader.
The 34-year-old Fowler physically and mentally did what was needed to earn his sixth PGA Tour victory and his first since winning the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The fan favorite Fowler, a longtime ambassador for Rocket Mortgage, was cheered with chants of “Rick-ie! Rick-ie!” as clusters of people gathered around the 18th green hoping he would win it.
While Fowler faltered, going 10 straight holes settling for pars on a relatively easy course, Morikawa had four birdies on both the front and back nine. Morikawa made a 10-foot putt at No. 12, his fourth birdie in a six-hole stretch that put him within a shot of Fowler, and his 9-footer for birdie at No. 14 pulled him into a tie with Fowler at 23 under.
Monday qualifier Peter Kuest (65), Lucas Glover (65) and Taylor Moore (67) were tied for fourth at 21 under. Kuest, who started the week ranked 789th in the world, did well enough to earn a spot in this week’s John Deere Classic in Illinois.
Play was suspended Saturday for 1 hour, 42 minutes because of lightning and the schedule for the final round was adjusted due to inclement weather in the forecast. The leaders teed off Sunday morning about 5 hours before the original schedule with threesomes starting on both the front and back nine.

OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Trips to Mar-a-Lago. Glowing speeches. Front-row seats at major events.
The first Republican presidential primaries are nearly a year away and the candidate field is unsettled. But already, a shadow contest of another sort is underway with several Republicans openly jockeying to position themselves as potential running mates to Donald Trump, the early front-runner for the nomination.
“A lot of people are right now auditioning,” Trump boasted to supporters in Florida last month.
The mere mention of a running mate this early in the process is a departure from the traditional timeline of presidential primaries, where candidates typically spend the opening months of a campaign introducing themselves to voters and sharing their visions for the country. But as a former president, Trump needs no introduction and is eager to project an air of inevitability around his campaign, particularly as attention builds around Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely seen as his toughest potential GOP rival.
Trump campaign officials insist that the vice presidential search is not something they have been actively discussing.
“We appreciate all support for President Trump, but the clear focus is on making sure that he wins the Republican nomination and is well-positioned to win the general election in 2024,” said Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser.
That, however, hasn’t stopped some could-be candidates from taking full advantage of opportunities to be in close proximity to Trump, at his club and at events. The dynamic was on full display earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where a trio of women who have been mentioned as possible contenders sat in the audience to cheer Trump’s headline speech.
They were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Elise Stefanik of New York and Kari Lake, the news anchor-turned-failed-Arizona gubernatorial candidate who ended her remarks at a keynote event dinner by kissing a portrait of Trump that was placed on stage.
While Trump, according to people who have spoken to him, is in no rush to make a decision and understands that he has to let the nomination process play out, he has nonetheless talked through possible choices since well before he formally announced his candidacy last fall. In those conversations, he has indicated his interest in selecting a woman this time around.
But allies say Trump is looking, first and foremost, for someone who will be unabashedly loyal after feeling burned by former Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
In 2016, running as a celebrity businessman with no experience in politics, Trump chose a person who was, in many ways, his total opposite, picking the Indiana governor and former congressman who could bolster his standing with conservatives and the religious right.
Trump, this time, is looking for someone more like himself, said Michael Caputo, a longtime friend and adviser who believes Stefanik would be Trump’s best choice.
“I think the president learned a lot from his experience with Pence,” he said. “I think this time Trump’s going to be looking for someone cut from the same cloth he is, not from a different, complementary cloth.”
While Trump is looking for someone with star power, he has also signaled that he is reluctant to choose someone who might overshadow him in the race.
Among those who are seen as most eager for the job is Lake, who is popular with Trump’s MAGA base and won — and then promoted — a CPAC straw poll that asked audience members whom they would like to see as the Republican vice presidential nominee. She is seen as unequivocally loyal to the former president, but detractors note she lost her only race and continues to dispute the results, which would draw attention to Trump’s own election failures and intensify criticism that he is too focused on the past.
She said in a statement that she is “100% dedicated to serving as Arizona Governor” — even though Democrat Katie Hobbs, who defeated Lake, now holds the job — and “will also work to make sure President Trump gets back in the White House ASAP. Anything outside of those two goals is nothing but a distraction.”
A person close to Lake said that she has had no formal discussions about the role and is currently gearing up for a potential run for the Senate. But the person, who, like others, insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations, also said Lake is unapologetically pro-Trump and would likely do anything he asked.
Greene, the flame-throwing congresswoman who recently proposed a “national divorce” between red and blue states, is also seen as eager for the role. She was a constant presence at Trump’s midterm rallies, often speaking during the pre-show program, and has been a frequent visitor to Florida, including sharing dinner with Lake at a local restaurant, Rocco’s Tacos, on Valentine’s Day.
“She sees herself on the short list for Trump’s VP. Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist who frequently hosts Greene on his podcast, told NBC, referring to the late political reporter.
When asked about her vice presidential ambitions recently, Greene told reporters, “That’s up to President Trump who he chooses.”
Stefanik is also frequently mentioned as a likely contender, but has taken what allies describe as a more subtle approach. She endorsed Trump before he even announced he was running, and has become one of his chief defenders on the Hill. During CPAC, Stefanik used her speech to call for Trump’s reelection and introduced him at a private event organized by his super PAC. Trump, in turn, praised her as a “rocket ship.”
People close to Stefanik say that, instead of overtly angling for the position, she is focused on doing her job as GOP conference chair and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, believing that if she does it well, good things will follow. But she nonetheless has the support of several Trump allies, who see her as disciplined and less risky than other potential options, and also point to her record for winning swing, suburban districts.
Stefanik, in an interview, said she had not discussed the position with Trump, though she has previously said she would be honored to serve in his administration.
“We have a lot of work to do over the next two years and I am gonna work no matter what to make sure that we have a Republican president, House and Senate in 2024,” she said. “So that’s what I focused on, and it’s a big job.”
Trump has also discussed other potential running mates, including his former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, who has been reluctant to criticize the former president since launching her bid. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who would be the first Black man on a Republican presidential ticket, is seen as another potential option.
Allies say both are serious about running for president in their own right, not in hopes of angling to serve as vice president or in another Cabinet post, though many believe Haley, in particular, would be open to an offer.
Also mentioned as possible contenders: South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who is considering her own presidential run; Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a supporter of the former president in 2016 and 2020; and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, who appeared alongside the former president as he visited the state Monday.
“We’re going to have a lot of great choices for vice president. We’re gonna pick a great one,” Trump said during his swing through Iowa.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, there's been a lot of discussion regarding Telkomsel's investment in Indonesia's ride-hailing decacorn Gojek (now GoTo). It's interesting to see this from an economic and investment perspective, as the global telecommunication sector is facing many challenges with voice and message revenue continuing to decline. On the other side, Indonesia's internet economy continues roaring high, reaching $70B and signifying an optimistic projection of $146B according to the e-Conomy SEA 2021 report by Google, Temasek, and Bain.
Harris Turino, an economist and member of The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, Commission VI, also a working committee member in Indonesia's Stated Owned Enterprise investment in sharing economy company, explained his view. He stated that corporate action-wise, the Telkomsel investment in Gojek is necessary to overcome the voice and message business and global telco trend that continues to decline. Telkom needs to find a new revenue stream that will support its sustainable business growth as a telco company.
The investment in Gojek, the largest base ride-hailing in Indonesia, brought synergy more than business profit. Harris stated that the collaboration between these two giants company could bring social and economic value to the more extensive base. For instance, they could collaborate on a synergy program where gojek drivers or SMEs use Telkomsel as their provider and provide special packages.
"Telkomsel invested in Gojek at a lower price than today's IPO. It signed that there's a lot of potential growth in the future and unrealized gain or loss in the capital market is part of the business activities. Harris also explained that this type of investment is executed by Telkom and other companies in the global market to stay competitive. He added, "A sharing economy company like Gojek is not for a short-term but long-term business plan as it's not only considering gain/ loss but sustainable growth that will support company fundamentally and continue to contribute to the Indonesian economy."

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The volunteer-led youth mentoring organization Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wichita County held a “Subs for Stars” community event at Firehouse Subs.
Customers who went to Firehouse Subs on Lawrence Road Tuesday evening not only got to enjoy a sandwich, but were also able to support the Bigs and Littles of Wichita County as Firehouse Subs returned 30% of all proceeds raised to the local non-profit.
Firehouse Subs reached out to Big Brothers Big Sisters to partner with them because they support the mission of “creating and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.”
Alexis McDonald, Engagement Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters, is appreciative of the support because non-profits such as theirs could always use money to help all children achieve success in life.
“We are always relying on community partners to get brand recognition out there,” McDonald said. “Also, just so that they know Big Brothers Big Sisters is here to support them as well, since they are supporting us.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters still has more events coming up if you’re interested in supporting.
Thursday night, July 20, you’ll find them in Vernon, as they’re starting a program there, and Saturday, July 22, all proceeds from the Red River Harley Davidson cookout will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Staying hot with heat index nearing 100 by noon
African Dust keeping tropics quiet for now
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - It was the hottest July 5th ever here along the Suncoast with the high at the Sarasota/Bradenton reaching 99° which eclipsed the old mark of 98° set back in 1998. At 3 p.m. the feels like temperature was 113 degrees which is the hottest it has been this summer.
We did manage to see some showers and thunderstorms develop during the late afternoon which did cool us down a bit during the evening hours. We were under a heat advisory on Wednesday and it may be issued again for Thursday. At this time it looks like it will be just under the threshold. Either way it is still going to be a hot one on Thursday.
We will see mostly sunny skies in the morning followed by partly cloudy skies in the afternoon with a 40% chance for a few scattered thunderstorms late in the day. Most of the rain we see will be east of I-75. There will be a couple close to the coast during the early afternoon as the sea breeze starts to move inland. The high will be in the low to mid 90s with a heat index around 100-104 during the late morning through the mid afternoon.
Friday we will see a bit of a change as a couple of disturbances move in from the Gulf. The timing of these little areas of low pressure will be difficult to nail down exactly but there is a good chance we may see some coastal storminess around the mid to late morning and then again later in the afternoon as they work their way onshore. The rain chance on Friday is at 50% and that is mainly over Manatee County with a 40% chance for Sarasota County. Look for partly cloudy skies to mostly sunny skies at times. These systems should move through to the east and only bring rainfall around to some areas for an hour or so.
In the tropics all is quiet for now and should stay that way. The main reason is we have a ton of African dust moving through the Atlantic over the next several days and this typically suppresses tropical development. With the ongoing strong El Nino the shear aspect of this phenomena will limit any tropical system from developing as well.

LONDON (AP) — The British government on Thursday dangled the prospect of public-sector pay hikes next year in an attempt to end strikes by nurses and ambulance staff that have piled pressure on an already overburdened health system.
The government invited union leaders for talks on 2023-24 pay rates and promised a “cooperative spirit” – while also saying it will introduce legislation in the coming weeks to make it harder for key workers to walk out.
The Conservative administration said it will set ”minimum safety levels” regarding staffing for firefighters, ambulance services and railways that must be maintained during a strike.
Business Secretary Grant Shapps said the new law would “restore the balance between those seeking to strike and protecting the public from disproportionate disruption.” Some Conservative lawmakers have argued for an even tougher law that would ban strikes by essential health care workers.
Unions condemned the planned law. The GMB union, which represents some ambulance staff, said its members “should have the right to stand up for themselves and the health service we all depend on.”
The government said it hopes to sit down with union leaders to discuss evidence on pay and working conditions that will be submitted to the review bodies that oversee salaries in parts of the public sector.
Britain has seen months of strikes, including a walkout by train drivers on Thursday that scuttled journeys across the country.
Rail workers, like others who work in the public sector, say wages have failed to keep pace with the skyrocketing cost of living. Inflation in the U.K. soared to a 41-year high of 11.1% late last year, driven by sharply rising energy and food costs.
Nurses, airport baggage handlers, ambulance and bus drivers and postal workers were among those who walked off their jobs in December to demand higher pay.
Ambulance staff are set to strike again on Jan. 11 and 23, while nurses will do the same Jan. 18-19.

Since launching the Gogoro battery swapping network and Smartscooter in 2015, Gogoro has enabled more than 325 million battery swaps, 340,000 battery swaps per day, and now supports ten vehicle makers accounting for more than 92% of Taiwan's electric two-wheel refueling.
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogoro® Inc. (Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities, today announced it had surpassed 500,000 monthly battery swapping subscribers in Taiwan.
Launched in 2015, Gogoro battery swapping has become the refueling leader for electric two-wheel vehicles with more than 92% market share in Taiwan in the first half of 2022. Gogoro's open battery swapping ecosystem currently supports ten different vehicle brands, accounting for more than 25% of all two-wheelers sold in Taipei in the first half of 2022.
"Gogoro's half-million battery swapping subscribers is an amazing testament to our growth and momentum as a company, but more importantly it represents 500,000 individual stories and 500,000 people who have chosen to embrace sustainable transportation to lead Taiwan into a sustainable future," said Horace Luke, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Gogoro. "Taiwan is an excellent example of how an open battery swapping ecosystem can enable governments, businesses, vehicle makers and riders to embrace sustainable electric transportation."
At the heart of Gogoro's ecosystem is the Gogoro Network, an open and interoperable battery swapping platform that was recognized in 2021 by Guidehouse Insights as the leading battery swapping company for lightweight urban vehicles in the world. The Gogoro Network is an open platform for battery swapping and smart mobility services, delivering a fresh alternative to legacy fuel. Gogoro Network is a new generation of swappable battery refueling that is smart, scalable, and continually optimizing itself to be dynamic and versatile for people, communities, and businesses.
The Powered by Gogoro Network Program gives Gogoro's vehicle maker partners access to Gogoro innovations including its intelligent drivetrains and controllers, components, and smart systems, so they can develop and roll out unique electric vehicles that integrate with Gogoro Network battery swapping. With more than 500,000 riders and nearly 11,000 battery swapping GoStation cabinets at over 2,240 locations, Gogoro Network is hosting 340,000 daily battery swaps with more than 325 million total battery swaps to date.
Founded in 2011 to rethink urban energy and inspire the world to move through cities in smarter and more sustainable ways, Gogoro leverages the power of innovation to change the way urban energy is distributed and consumed. Gogoro's battery swapping and vehicle platforms offer a smart, proven and sustainable long-term ecosystem for delivering a new approach to urban mobility. Gogoro has quickly become an innovation leader in vehicle design and electric propulsion, smart battery design, battery swapping, and advanced cloud services that utilize artificial intelligence to manage battery availability and safety. The challenge is massive, but the opportunity to disrupt the status quo, establish new standards, and achieve new levels of sustainable transportation growth in densely populated cities is even greater.

GULLANE, Scotland — (AP) — Rory McIlroy birdied the last two holes in whipping wind Sunday for a 2-under 68 to win the Genesis Scottish Open, his first victory on Scottish soil, and take a load of confidence into the final major of the year.
McIlroy was one shot behind Robert MacIntyre when he played the slope to near perfection on the par-3 17th for a 4-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead. Then, he delivered what McIlroy called his best shot of the year — a 2-iron into the wind to 10 feet for a final birdie.
It was a heartbreaker for MacIntyre, who was trying to win his national open and delivered a class shot of his own. MacIntyre hammered a 3-wood from the rough on the 18th hole at The Renaissance Club to 4 feet, pumping both fists when it dropped for a 64.
It was a remarkable closing round given the wind that was rough and relentless off the Firth of Forth, and it looked for the longest time that it would give the 26-year-old MacIntyre the signature victory of his young career.
Instead it was McIlroy, who played the tough back nine in 31 and capped it off with two clutch birdies for his first win since the Dubai Desert Classic.
The victory came at an ideal time. McIlroy heads south to Royal Liverpool for the British Open, where he tries to end his nine-year drought in the majors. McIlroy won the claret jug the last time The Open was played at Royal Liverpool in 2014.
“That was such a tough day — so tough,” McIlroy said. “To play that back nine in 4-under par to win the tournament, I'm really proud of how I stuck in there. I hit some amazing shots down the stretch. It feels incredible. It's been a long six months, I feel, since I won in Dubai. I've given myself tons of chances, and hopefully this win sort of breaks the seal for me, especially going into next week."
McIlroy finished at 15-under 265 and moved past Jon Rahm to No. 2 in the world.
Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, closed with a 70 and tied for third with Byeong Hun An (70) and David Lingmerth (68). Scheffler has finished among the top five in his last seven tournaments, two of them majors.
An and Lingmerth received a consolation prize by earning spots in the British Open, awarded to the leading three players not already exempt. The final spot went to Nicolai Hojgaard (67), who will join twin brother Rasmus at Royal Liverpool.
The Scottish crowd had been chanting MacIntyre's name all week around The Renaissance Club, and they roared when he delivered the 3-wood and birdie putt to the 18th, one of the toughest closing holes on tour.
MacIntyre was so caught up in the moment he had to hold back tears leaving the green.
“I’ll never forget it. I had to take a minute coming off 18,” he said. “If not The Open, the Scottish Open will be up there with the event I want to play for the rest of my life. It’s one I’ve dreamed of winning since I watched at home, and I thought today coming down once I birdied 18, I thought, this might be the one. But it’s not to be just now.
“Rory McIlroy’s potentially the best in the world, and he showed why today.”
McIlroy matched him with a shot every bit as good.
He was 201 yards from the pin, dead into the wind, a perfect 3-iron for him — except that McIlroy decided to replace his 3-iron with a 2-iron for the windy week.
“The 4-iron was only getting me to the front edge,” McIlroy said. He needed to hit a 2-iron with a little cut and a little height to let the wind take off some of the distance, and “it came off absolutely perfectly.”
“It's probably the best shot I've hit all year,” McIlroy said. “When you hit a shot like that, I feel like I deserved to hole the putt to finish it off like that.”
The tournament was co-sanctioned by the European tour and the PGA Tour. McIlroy expanded his lead atop the Race to Dubai, though he still has work to do to catch up to Rahm and Scheffler in the FedEx Cup.

Initiative reflects TT growth into new asset classes
CHICAGO and LONDON, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global provider of high-performance professional trading software, infrastructure and data solutions, and Talos, the premier provider of institutional digital asset trading technology, announced today that the firms have partnered to substantially and rapidly broaden TT's cryptocurrency offering on a global basis by leveraging the Talos infrastructure and market connectivity from directly within the TT® platform. The agreement represents the first major strategic partnership propelling TT's expansion into multiple asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, and provides a significant opportunity for TT's global customer base to access Talos' extensive, market-leading cryptocurrency trading solutions.
Announced at the International Derivatives Expo (IDX) in London, the first phase of the partnership agreement intends to give TT clients ready access to 14 additional cryptocurrency markets in Q3 2022, beyond the four already offered directly through the TT platform. Later phases of the partnership will incorporate more of Talos' trading services seamlessly onto the TT platform.
TT CEO Keith Todd said: "Our acquisition by 7RIDGE late last year has given us the ability to make a substantial investment into broadening our offering into new asset classes, including through partnerships with the most innovative and reliable firms with domain expertise. Among our first priorities is becoming a primary hub for crypto trading, giving our clients the array of choices, premier functionality and liquidity that has been a hallmark of our exchange-traded derivatives offering."

A San Antonio man has been charged with joining a crowd that breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
An FBI terrorism task force in San Antonio began investigating Victor Anthony Martinez, 41, after another Jan. 6 defendant provided information about him. Agents arrested Martinez on Jan. 24 after prosecutors in Washington, D.C., filed a criminal complaint against him, records show.
Martinez is charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in the Capitol and illegally demonstrating or parading in the Capitol, among other offenses. The charges are federal misdemeanors, each punishable by up to a year in jail.
According to an FBI affidavit, Martinez was inside the Capitol with other supporters of then-President Donald Trump who were trying to stop Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. At a rally earlier that day, Trump claimed the election was “stolen” and called on supporters to march on the Capitol.
On ExpressNews.com: San Antonio residents might be paying more soon for trash pickup. Here’s why.
Hundreds of them did, resulting in clashes with police and an estimated $2.73 million in damage. Four people in the crowd died that day, including Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to break into the House chamber.
The FBI affidavit does not say that Martinez himself did any damage or was involved in violence. It does say that Martinez was part of the crowd that entered the Capitol, and that he remained in the rotunda and an entry to the rotunda from 2:42 p.m. to 3:33 p.m. that day.
The affidavit states a defendant who is among the nearly 1,000 people charged so far told the FBI in Washington that “Vic” from San Antonio was inside the Capitol. The tipster provided a phone number.
Agents relayed that information to the FBI in San Antonio in May 2022, and agents here verified that the phone number was connected to Martinez. In the fall, they subpoenaed phone records and other evidence and surveilled Martinez at houses he frequents, including his parents’ home near McCollum High School on the South Side, the affidavit states.
The affidavit says agents confirmed Martinez was the person seen on surveillance footage from the Capitol wearing a “Trump 2020” flag as a cape. The affidavit includes screen grabs of the footage and says that other videos available on social media show Martinez inside and outside the Capitol.
In one of the videos, Martinez is seen streaming into the Capitol with other Trump supporters. In the rotunda, members of the crowd sing a portion of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and Martinez appears overcome with emotion, prompting others to ask him, “Are you all right?”
“Yeah, man. I’m great, I’m great,” Martinez answered, and then joined a handful of others in prayer.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth “Betsy” Chestney in San Antonio released Martinez on a personal recognizance bond after a hearing Jan. 24. Another judge in Washington reviewed his case last week and allowed Martinez to remain free on bond.
Martinez is among a number of Jan. 6 defendants from the San Antonio area charged so far. They include Matthew Carl Mazzocco; James Herman “Sonny” Uptmore and his son, Chance Anthony Uptmore; Treniss Jewell Evans III of Canyon Lake; and Steven Cappuccio of Universal City.
Mazzocco, the Uptmores and Evans pleaded guilty to federal misdemeanors, admitting to illegally demonstrating or parading in the Capitol.
Mazzocco was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 60 hours of community service. The Uptmores each were sentenced to three years of probation.
In November, Evans was sentenced to three years of probation and 20 days of confinement after pleading guilty plea to illegally entering and remaining in restricted grounds or a restricted building.
Before and after sentencing, Evans has been on a speaking tour on conservative outlets criticizing the prosecution and jailing of Jan. 6 defendants.
Cappuccio is awaiting trial on more serious charges that include assault on a police officer. He has pleaded not guilty.

🌀A January Storm? 2023 Hurricane Season Has Already Begun
Well what do you know? The first storm of the 2023 hurricane season has actually already developed. Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you.
We actually talked about this entity while it was off the coast of New England in January, but today, during routine post-analysis, the National Hurricane Center declared that that storm actually had some tropical characteristics. Now it will remain unnamed since it wasn’t named in January, but it will go down as the first storm of the 2023 hurricane season. Things get a little weird, though. Click here to find out what the next named storm will be called.
As far as the actual season, we have an interesting battle on our hands between the main driving forces. El Nino? You may have heard of him.
El Nino is typically a good thing for the Atlantic hurricane season, but it’s not everything. While it may reduce the number of storms, there can still be major storms in an El Nino year. Michael and Andrew both happened in an El Nino year. Anyway, a very interesting battle is shaping up for the Atlantic hurricane season and it will be something to watch.
Click here to see the driving forces behind the 2023 hurricane season. Also, if you are interested in pinpointing the tropics with me all season long, consider subscribing to my Tropics Watch newsletter by clicking here!
🛍️Double the Savings this Hurricane Season🌀🔦
Hey insiders its meteorologist Candace Campos, here to let you know that there now be two opportunities this hurricane season to buy must-have storm supplies TAX FREE! If you know me, you know I LOVE a discount, especially on things I actually need! The first round starts in about two weeks, with the additional tax relief holiday returning just in time for the peak of hurricane season. Make sure to add these dates to your calendar, and save some money as you prepare for another storm season.
Check out what new items they added to the list of tax-free items this year by clicking here.
Is this going to be your first hurricane season? Do you have any questions as we gear up for another active season? Let me know by sending me an email here. And If you are wondering what items you should be stocking up on, or what evacuation zone you reside in, we have a one-stop-shop for all things hurricanes.

From drought to rain to a nice Mother’s Day weekend? ☀☔🌦😍🌤
Don’t do it! Hey Insiders! Meteorologist Troy Bridges here. Don’t use today’s rain as an excuse not to make plans with your mom on Mother’s Day!
After those downpours and storms we had just a couple of weeks ago, it’s been dry for the last few days.
Now that rain is returning, don’t think that it’s going to linger through the weekend. Just in time for Mother’s Day weekend, we will be dry out again!
Expect only slight rain chances at 10% or less. Click here for more on the ever-changing weekend forecast. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!
🌂Breaking down the POPs in the forecast ☔
The forecast calls for rain, but it doesn’t rain at my house. Why are those meteorologists always wrong? 👀 Hey there Insider friends! It’s meteorologist Samara Cokinos here with you to talk about forecasting rain because I have heard that comment about my job more times than I care to count. No, I am not trying to tell you why we are right more than you think, but I would much rather explain how the rain forecast works so it’s more beneficial for you.
That’s the goal here as we break down the POP or the percentage of precipitation, how we calculate it, what it means, and how understanding our scientific madness can help you prep for your day.
Also, don’t forget to download our PinPoint Weather App for free. It comes in handy while you’re out and about. Did I mention it’s free? 👀💲No seriously... it’s free. Go get it, for free, in your app store. 😁

Southwest Airlines to give employees bonus for working during holiday travel meltdown
DALLAS - Southwest Airlines is giving some of its employees a bonus for working during the holiday operational meltdown.
The Dallas-based airline said it will pay its pilots roughly $45 million in "gratitude pay."
Other employees including flight attendants will also receive additional pay.
Last month, Southwest Airlines canceled thousands of flights following a winter storm that caused problems for its scheduling software.
The company is now refunding and reimbursing travelers, offering reward points as an apology, promoting executives and investing millions of dollars to upgrade the technology.
But the effort may be too little too late.
The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association is calling for a vote on its first-ever strike and shareholders have sued the carrier for "downplaying outdated technology."
Some unhappy travelers are also suing the company.
Southwest’s financial gains in 2022 were soured by the holiday debacle.

READING, Pa. — The Berks County commissioners, during their election board meeting on Thursday, voted unanimously to revise the county policy on mail-in drop boxes to require a deputy sheriff to question voters about whether they are depositing their own ballot in a drop box.
Commissioner Christian Y. Leinbach said he recommended the revision to the policy to be consistent with what occurs at the election office.
"I continue to look and listen to concerns around the election integrity process, and I think we were doing everything with the mail-in drop boxes exactly the same as a person that would bring their ballot into the election office, with one exception," Leinbach explained. "When a person comes into the election office and they have a single ballot, they are asked 'Is this your ballot?' And if they say no, they're told that they have to get an affirmation form signed or have the individual that has that ballot bring that in. I became aware that our sheriff's deputies do not ask that question, and I believe they need to ask that question."
A sheriff deputy is posted at each drop box during the time voters have access to drop off ballots.
The revision of the policy also includes a clarification that the two election services officers who open and close the drop boxes each day must consist of one election services official and a deputy sheriff.
The commissioners said that has been the practice, but that the policy did not reflect the detail of one deputy sheriff.
Leinbach said one of the problems with mail-in drop boxes is that the state does not have any rules as to how they are managed.
"They are managed 67 different ways in 67 counties, and there are zero rules (from the state)," Leinbach said. "So, this is Berks County's addition."
During public comment, Brecknock Township resident Jane Beck questioned the commissioners about the status of the vacant election services director position.
"There are so many threats to election officials everywhere, at all levels," Beck said. "Who might be willing to even try to take on the job? Is there anyone in our office with the experience that would be stepping up?"
"It's frightening to be this close to an incredibly important election with that office being empty," she added.
Commissioner Kevin S. Barnhardt said the board has decided not to pursue hiring an election services director at this time because of the timeliness of the general election.
But Barnhardt said four managers within the election office are capable of running the election.
"We felt it was incumbent upon us not to create much more issue with bringing in somebody brand new to election services," Barnhardt said.
In early August, the commissioners announced in a brief statement that Paiger Riegner had resigned from the position of county elections director after just five months on the job.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — As high winds blew through the state of Kansas Friday, cameras captured the town of Colby getting swallowed up by a massive dust storm.
Nexstar’s KSN captured the massive particle cloud moving over Colby. Click the player above to watch. A KSN viewer also sent this video of dust on a ranch near Syracuse, Kansas.
In between updates on various local dust storm warnings Friday afternoon, National Weather Service’s office in Goodland, Kansas tweeted to the state’s western neighbor: “Heads up I-70 in Kit Carson County, CO! Wall of dust coming your way! Pull over now and turn off your lights!”
If you get caught in a dust storm while driving, the Kansas Highway Patrol gave these tips to stay safe.
- Avoid driving into or through a dust storm if possible.
- While driving through dust and smoke make sure to have your headlights on.
- Do not wait until poor visibility makes it difficult to safely pull off the roadway — do it as soon as possible. Completely exit the highway if you can.
- Do not stop in a travel lane; look for a safe place to pull completely off the paved portion of the roadway.
- Stop the vehicle in a position ensuring it is a safe distance from the main roadway and away from other vehicles.
- Turn off all vehicle lights, including your emergency flashers, while parked.
- Set your emergency brake and take your foot off the brake pedal.
- Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt buckled and wait for the storm to pass.
- Drivers of high-profile vehicles should be especially aware of changing weather conditions and travel at reduced speeds.
- A driver’s alertness and safe driving ability is still the number one factor to prevent crashes.

Bereavement services provider Jeff's Place launches The Inventory of Youth Adaptation to Loss; equips 40 other providers with new outcome measurement tool
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Founding Director of children's bereavement service provider Jeff's Place Dr. Jennifer Kaplan has developed the first and only comprehensive, strength-based standardized tool designed to measure outcomes associated with grief support services. Known as the Inventory of Youth Adaptation to Loss (IYAL), the tool measures changes over time - related to a youth's communication, sense of social support, sense of connection, and social and emotional experiences of loss and resilience.
The IYAL was Dr. Kaplan's doctoral thesis and was created with the most rigorous research standards through the participation of more than 20 children's bereavement programs. To evaluate the reliability of the IYAL, the sample framework was national in scope, encompassed a range of diverse types of youth bereavement programs, and purposely sought diversity in the sample. Exploratory factor analysis identified five factors with distinct sub-scales indicating that the IYAL is a valid and reliable assessment instrument of youth ages 9-17 coping with grief and their social support relationships.
The tool is unique to Jeff's Place, an independent 501(c)(3) organization located in Framingham, Massachusetts dedicated to assisting children, teens, young adults, families, and individuals coping with death. Jeff's Place was founded by Dr. Kaplan after her brother died during childhood, propelling her into the field of Social Work and Bereavement Services. Since its inception in 2010, Jeff's Place has continued to grow and increase its offerings of free support groups, individual counseling, educational training, consultations, and crisis intervention.
"Childhood bereavement is an unrecognized national healthcare issue," noted Dr. Kaplan. "This collaborative study has been a decade-long labor of love for me and serves as a springboard to improve the lives of children and youth experiencing grief in every domain through evidence-informed services to impact public policies supporting these preventative services and further research." She continued, "Once we have the baseline, additional measures can be developed and tested with children, youth and families who have experienced different kinds of profound loss."
The IYAL will provide an evidence-informed tool to grief providers so they can demonstrate how their services change lives. While there are standardized and empirically based measures of social and psychological wellbeing, none measure how childhood loss, such as bereavement, impacts how a child feels, communicates, is supported by, or connects with others. The IYAL filled this gap, making it a keystone in changing the lives of children and preventing long-term mental health effects.
Recognizing the potential for this new tool to transform the lives of bereaved children, Jeff's Place partnered with Alex Cares, a nonprofit incubator and accelerator for children's grief programs, to make the IYAL available at no charge to 40 providers of children's bereavement services around the world. Participating organizations are part of a groundbreaking global research study on youth bereavement. The knowledge that will come from a large dataset of diverse youth from different programs across the world will inform program development and implementation, policy development, and standards of prevention and care for youth experiencing traumatic loss.
This initiative will not only solidify the strength and usefulness of the IYAL, but most importantly, it will demonstrate how various grief support services help different children worldwide, how programs can grow and change to better serve children and give the world a glimpse into the experiences of children moving through profound loss. Program participants receive access to the IYAL, an aggregate report of statistical change from pre- to post- assessment of their agency and the total dataset to share with stakeholders, results to guide the agency in determining best practices and gaps related to program services, and the ability to be part of a cutting-edge initiative designed to impact public policy to make prevention programs accessible to all grieving youth.
Year 1 findings will be available in fall 2023. Jeff's Place and Alex Cares welcome additional partners to support this critical research.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Dozens of children are stuck in orphanages across Haiti, unable to leave the increasingly volatile country and start new lives with adoptive parents because a U.S. policy change has unleashed a rush for passports at Haiti’s main immigration office.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced last month that the U.S. will accept 30,000 people a month from Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela if they pass a background check and have an eligible sponsor and a passport to travel.
The ensuing demand for Haitian passports has overwhelmed Haiti’s passport office in the capital, Port-au-Prince, where people with appointments cannot squeeze through the aggressive crowd or secure new appointments.
Meanwhile, adoptive parents say the U.S. State Department has declined to grant passport waivers as they worry their children will succumb to hunger, cholera or gang violence.
“It’s infuriating,” said Bryan Hanlon, a postal inspector who lives with his wife in Washington.
They became the legal parents of Peterson, 5, and Gina, 6, last year and fear they won’t be able to secure passports for the children and fly them out of Haiti, which has been in a downward spiral since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
Last year, the number of reported kidnappings in Haiti soared to 1,359, more than double the previous year, and 2,183 killings were reported, up by a third from 2021, according to the United Nations. Gangs also are raping women and children at an alarming rate, including those as young as 10, officials say.
The country also is fighting a deadly cholera outbreak and a spike in starvation.
Last year, 5-year-old Peterson became malnourished and had to be taken to a clinic, where he was treated for a couple of months.
Then in October, the siblings had to flee the orphanage with a caretaker as gangs raided the neighborhood, killing dozens of civilians and setting homes on fire. The violence that erupts as gangs fight over territory has left tens of thousands of Haitians homeless.
“That was the worst day of our lives,” Hanlon said. “We didn’t know if they were alive or dead.”
With their orphanage abandoned because of the violence, the children had been taken by one of their caretakers to her home in southern Haiti, where they have remained, he said.
Hanlon said he and his wife send money to the caretaker, but that “some days, there is just no food to buy or no fuel to cook it.” Other times, she cannot leave the house to pick up the money because it’s too dangerous, he said.
Brooke Baeth, an elementary school speech therapist in Minnesota, understands the fear and frustration. She and her husband became the legal parents of a 5-year-old girl in Haiti nearly a year ago, but they don’t know when they will be able to meet her.
In late January, her daughter and caretakers flew from their orphanage in northern Haiti to Port-au-Prince only to encounter a huge crowd at the immigration office. Despite having an appointment, they could not get inside, nor could some of the office’s own employees, Baeth said.
“It’s just devastating,” she said, adding that like the Hanlons, they haven’t been able to obtain a passport waiver from the State Department. “It feels like our voices are not being heard.”
A spokesperson for the State Department said intercountry adoption is one of the agency’s highest priorities and that it uses all appropriate tools to identify and overcome barriers.
“We understand that it is currently difficult for prospective adoptive parents to obtain a Haitian passport,” the spokesperson said. “We remain committed to helping prospective adoptive parents navigate the often-complicated journey of intercountry adoption. We will continue to engage with the Haitian government on this issue.”
Hanlon shared email messages with The Associated Press in which the U.S. government denied his request for a waiver by noting that both Haiti’s immigration office and the Ministry of the Interior were open for business, and that passport waivers are for use only on a case-by-case basis and as a last resort.
Ryan Hanlon, president and CEO of the U.S. National Council for Adoption who is not related to Bryan Hanlon, said in a phone interview that the State Department’s manual calls on officials to prioritize adoption cases.
“Can we even say we prioritize adoption when we have legal options that we choose not to utilize?” he said. “It’s the safety of the children that’s the concern here.”
Given the ongoing crush at Haiti’s main immigration office, government officials recently opened two makeshift offices in a gymnasium and a soccer field elsewhere in Port-au-Prince. They also implemented a schedule setting aside specific days for groups including women and the elderly. Saturdays have been reserved for children.
Officials say they don’t know how many Haitian children are in this situation, but two of 11 U.S. agencies that are main providers of adoption services in Haiti say a dozen or more of their children are affected and the number has been rising. From 2016 to 2020, people adopted 827 children from Haiti, according to the most recent statistics from the State Department. Only 96 children were adopted in 2020, down from a high of 227 in 2017.
At one adoption agency, Colorado-based A Love Beyond Borders, at least 13 children in Haiti have been adopted but have been unable to obtain passports amid a processing backlog that is growing every day, said Stephanie Thoet, the agency’s Haiti program coordinator.
She noted that even Haiti’s Ministry of the Interior has been unable to access the passport office to manually deliver the files of adopted children and worries about officials being killed or kidnapped by gangs as they travel back and forth with paperwork that has taken years to complete.
“I am terrified every time they go,” she said.
At another agency, Utah-based Wasatch International Adoption, at least a dozen children who already have been adopted can’t obtain a passport, and the number is growing, said Chareyl Moyes, the agency’s Haiti program manager.
“The situation is dire,” she said, adding that she worries about a child or caretaker being killed. “Do we want to wait until it’s at that point?”
Baeth said it’s hard for her daughter to understand why it’s taking so long to be together. They tell her how much she means to them and send her images of the snow, prompting her to excitedly ask if she could eat it. The girl, who wants to be a unicorn rider when she grows up, has sent them videos of her doing cartwheels and somersaults.
Hanlon said his daughter knows what is going on: “She understands enough to be frustrated.”
He recalled how Gina was upset one day and told her caretaker: “I don’t want to talk to them in videos anymore. I want to talk to them in person.”
His son, however, is younger.
Hanlon said when the boy is told he can’t travel to certain parts of Haiti, he tells the other children not to worry, assuring them: “My dad’s like Superman. He’ll fly down and kill the bad guys.”
Hanlon paused as his voice broke.
“Some days, I feel like I’m letting him down.”

- Deal involves placement of 480,000 barrels per day of crude to the largest integrated refining and chemicals complex in China
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aramco, one of the world's leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, has signed definitive agreements to acquire a 10% interest in Shenzhen-listed Rongsheng Petrochemical Co. Ltd. ("Rongsheng") for RMB 24.6 billion ($3.6 billion at current exchange rates), in a deal that would significantly expand its downstream presence in China.
Through the strategic arrangement, Aramco would supply 480,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Arabian crude oil to Rongsheng affiliate Zhejiang Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd (ZPC), under a long-term sales agreement. Aramco Overseas Company ("AOC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aramco, will acquire the interest in Rongsheng.
Among other assets, Rongsheng owns a 51% equity interest in ZPC, which in turn owns and operates the largest integrated refining and chemicals complex in China with a capacity to process 800,000 bpd of crude oil and to produce 4.2 million metric tons of ethylene per year.
Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani, Aramco Executive Vice President of Downstream, said: "This announcement demonstrates Aramco's long-term commitment to China and belief in the fundamentals of the Chinese petrochemicals sector. It is an important acquisition for Aramco in a key market, supporting our growth ambitions and advancing our liquids to chemicals strategy. It also promises to secure a reliable supply of essential crude to one of China's most important refiners."
Li Shuirong, Rongsheng Chairman, said: "This strategic co-operation will take our long-term friendship and mutual trust to a new level, and paves the way for a bright future for the high-quality development of the world's petrochemicals industry. I believe that Aramco's involvement will greatly help Rongsheng implement its petrochemical growth strategy."
The investment would anchor an important association between Aramco, Rongsheng and ZPC, which operates one of the world's most state-of-the-art chemical conversion assets.
The transaction involves an off-market secondary sale of Rongsheng shares by majority shareholder Zhejiang Rongsheng Holding Group, with potential for future collaboration between the parties in trading, refining, chemicals production and technology licensing. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2023, and is subject to regulatory approvals.
It follows the announcement on March 26 that the Aramco joint venture, Huajin Aramco Petrochemical Company (HAPCO), planned to start construction of a major integrated refinery and petrochemical complex in northeast China in the second quarter of 2023. Aramco, which has a 30% stake in HAPCO, will supply up to 210,000 bpd of crude oil feedstock to the complex.
Combined, the partnership with Rongsheng and the HAPCO joint venture would see Aramco supply a total of 690,000 bpd of crude to high chemical conversion assets.

Just before noon on Thursday, Peter Lacewell parked his car off Elm Street downtown. He walked down the block, went into Bonchon, picked up food for his girlfriend, walked back to his car and drove off. The process took less than three minutes — once Lacewell finally parked. The Greensboro resident spent more time searching for a parking spot than actually using it.
Lacewell circled the block at least twice in an attempt to find free streetside parking, but eventually had to settle for a paid lot, at a rate he wasn’t even sure of until he left.
“It’s really inconvenient,” he said. “It discourages me from even coming downtown.”
For years, Greensboro residents have criticized the city’s on-street and off-street public-parking options, saying there aren’t enough spaces available. But according to a recently released study, the number isn’t necessarily the problem.
People are also reading…
The downtown parking study, conducted by consulting firm Kimley-Horn, started in September 2022 as an effort to measure how the rise of “work from home” and the declining demand of physical office space impacted downtown Greensboro. The Atlanta-based company and the city of Greensboro released those findings and a few possible solutions in a series of public meetings held last month.
What was found is that of the 424 acres of non-roadway land in the downtown Greensboro area, 36% of it is used for parking. This includes multi-level decks and both public and private surface lots and is considered high for cities of a similar size. The city does not manage all 36%, but between the seven surface lots, five decks and countless sidewalk curbs, it does manage quite a number of individual spots — 6,319 to be exact. The study found that on average about 2,500 of those parking spots are available.
In a comparison with five other cities, (Raleigh, Greenville, SC, Savannah, Ga., Columbus, Ohio, Boise, Idaho), the study found that Greensboro’s parking rates were cheaper than those of the city’s peers. Greensboro is the only city of the group to offer a free first hour in parking decks and has the second-lowest daily maximum at $10 — Greenville caps parking at $7. In terms of on-street parking, Greensboro’s practices are fairly routine. The city allows for free parking on the weekends and after 6 p.m. on the weekdays.
So, if availability and price aren’t the main concern, what is?
According to a survey put out by city officials in April and May, over 70% of respondents prioritized convenience and distance to their destination when searching for a parking place downtown. Some even go as far as saying that a nearby parking space is the deciding factor of whether or not they make a trip downtown.
Sheri and Tito Jamieson, also residents of Greensboro, recalled hosting an event at Scuppernong Books on Elm Street a few years ago and having people leave because they couldn’t find a close parking space.
“You have to be strategic about when you want to be downtown,” Sheri Jamieson said.
“I’m sure (not finding a parking space) deters people from coming,” Tito Jamieson added. “It deters us.”
After looping the block multiple times Thursday morning, the Jamiesons were able to find a spot along Lewis Street.
One man filling up a Greene Street meter placed the matter in perspective quite simply, calling it “a pain.”
The ultimate goal of the downtown parking plan study is to remedy any parking pains with an official proposal of solutions placed in front of city council this fall. Some possible solutions were discussed at the public meetings in late June. None of them mentioned setting aside any more downtown space for parking, preferring a revamp of both the already existing facilities and and proper management techniques to maximize efficiency.
Currently, the city is building its sixth parking deck at the corner of Market and Davie streets. No opening date has been announced, but the February One Deck will add 720 parking spaces to the city-operated total.
As a part of the $268,599 study, structural assessments were completed on each parking deck facility. Davie Street, Greensboro’s oldest parking deck, was found to have structural integrity concerns, but none pressing enough to elicit an immediate closure. Decommissioning the deck once its soon-to-be neighbor is complete is a possible option.
“(Davie Street Deck) has outlived its useful life,” director of transportation Hanna Cockburn said. She added that for a concrete structure that is exposed to the elements for at least 50 years, this is “not unanticipated.”
For the four other decks scattered around the downtown area, the main concern is improving safety. Cockburn says her team has identified ways to increase lighting and navigability so customers can feel safer when using the downtown facilities. Another mission is to improve legibility, or awareness of the various parking options in the city. As of now, none of the decks are marked with the standard blue “P” sign, making it difficult for visitors and locals alike to know where they are allowed to park.
Marc Silverstein was in Greensboro on Thursday from New York City to watch his son play in the Eastern Music Festival. He wanted to walk around and go into the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, which he anticipated would take longer than the allotted two hours for street parking, so Silverstein was searching for a long-term option.
“The signs could be a little clearer,” he said. “I honestly just turned down a side street and got lucky.”
Other possible solutions to improve the parking infrastructure include a demand-based payment model for street parking to discourage all-day spot campers, provide discounted parking passes for service and hospitality workers who frequent downtown and increased micro-mobility options, like rentable scooters, bikes or the trolley service that starts Monday, July 17. Free parking spaces right in front of storefronts may go away, but in its place would be easy maneuverability around the downtown area.
Monica Walker was present on June 29 when these solutions were proposed.
“I appreciate free parking,” Walker said. “But I also appreciate equity, and if having more paid spaces is going to create more equity of opportunity to be able to park, then perhaps it would be the best way to go.
“What seems to have been a conversation just about parking is not just about parking. It’s really about redevelopment. It’s really about economic opportunities, who gets to come in the city, who gets to park in the city, who’s getting the incentives in terms of any invitations to growing economic possibilities in downtown Greensboro. ... I would love to see a lot more input from communities who border downtown and the communities who frequent downtown.”
After this round of public meetings, Kimley-Horn and the city of Greensboro are in the number-crunching stage, determining which solutions will be economically feasible. Another round of public comment is expected to occur in August. The final proposal will hopefully reach city council in October, says Cockburn.

Charles the Entrepreneur? How the new king built a top organic food brand
By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business
For years, King Charles was preparing to step into the role of monarch following Queen Elizabeth’s history-making reign. In the meantime, he was holding down another job: Owner of a profitable business.
Charles — long a passionate advocate of environmental causes — founded Duchy Originals in 1990 when he was the Prince of Wales to market produce from his farm. It’s since grown into the largest organic food and drink brand in the United Kingdom, according to the company. In the year through March 2021, Duchy Originals earned nearly £3.6 million ($4.1 million) before taxes.
The brand has had its ups and downs. But it’s thrived since entering into a partnership with Waitrose in 2009. The upmarket grocery chain now has the exclusive right to sell products under the Duchy name, and shoppers can find salmon, sausages, milk, carrots and blueberries bearing the “Waitrose Duchy Organic” name at its stores.
“It’s turned into a very successful business,” said Andrew Bloch, a London-based public relations expert. “You can sense with this brand, it has heart and soul behind it.”
The future is uncertain, though. Control of the Duchy Originals brand is up in the air during a period of national mourning culminating in the Queen’s state funeral on Monday.
“We will liaise with the Royal Household on future arrangements when the time is right to do so,” a spokesperson for Waitrose said.
Ownership of Duchy Originals will most likely pass to Charles’ eldest son Prince William, who also inherits the separate Duchy of Cornwall estate — worth about £1 billion ($1.2 billion). And while the prince has studied organic farming, he’s likely to be less hands-on than his father.
“He’ll be interested, but he’ll entrust others to run it,” said Sally Bedell Smith, a biographer and author of the book “Charles: The Misunderstood Prince.”
A passion project
Charles spent decades preaching the benefits of organic farming and protecting the environment, even before such issues became mainstream causes.
In 1985, he converted Home Farm, near his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, into a fully organic system. The Duchy Originals venture emerged five years later.
“Since the beginning of the 1980s, when I first had responsibility for managing some land in my own right at Highgrove, I have wanted to focus on an approach to food production that avoids the impact of the predominant, conventional system of industrialized agriculture, which, it is increasingly clear to see, is having a disastrous effect on soil fertility, biodiversity and animal and human health,” Charles told Country Life magazine in 2021.
The first Duchy Originals product was an oaten biscuit sold in 1992. Initially, items bearing the brand were only found in high-end shops such as Harrods and Fortnum & Mason, though they later expanded into outlets like Waitrose, which caters to wealthier shoppers but has many more locations.
The business was on rocky ground in its early days, Smith wrote in her book. It took on too much debt, and Duchy Originals had to look for new producers and manufacturers once it became too big to rely solely on Highgrove.
Its fortunes later improved, according to Smith. She reported that when Charles visited the British embassy in Spain in 2004, he burst in with gift-wrapped products, announcing, “I’m a self-made millionaire, you know!”
Waitrose steps in
An ill-fated attempt to expand into the United States, however, combined with the onset of the global financial crisis, pushed the business to the brink of collapse.
Facing millions of pounds in losses in 2009, Charles turned to Waitrose, which threw him a lifeline by agreeing to serve as exclusive distributor.
It marked the end of the prince’s ambitions for a large presence in the US market, but the start of a robust turnaround in the outlook of the business.
“The Waitrose rescue during the financial crisis in September 2009 was absolutely vital,” Smith said.
By 2017, 25 years after the oat biscuit’s debut, the line had expanded to 300 products, including fruits, vegetables, meat and beer, and annual sales reached £200 million ($231 million). More than 30 countries around the world, including the United States, Germany, Japan and Australia, have received exports of select products.
Charles has access to vast personal wealth through his portfolio of land and property, but he has never directly profited from the Duchy Originals business. All royalties collected from Waitrose have been donated to charitable causes. In its annual report for 2019, the firm said it had raised more than £30 million ($35 million) since striking the licensing deal with Waitrose.
“It has provided a very substantial income stream into his foundation and has helped to fund his charitable work as well as to promote organic products,” Smith said.
Still, the venture hasn’t been without controversy. A range of herbal remedies, including the “Herbals Detox Tincture” blend of artichoke and dandelion, was accused by an expert on alternative medicine as based on “outright quackery.” A regulatory agency later said online advertisements for two of the line’s herbal medicines were misleading and instructed Duchy Originals to change the wording.
William’s new venture?
Changes have been underway in recent years as Charles prepared to take the throne. In 2020, his team said he wouldn’t renew the lease on the sprawling Home Farm, but would continue to farm organically at the late Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk that he had started managing in 2017.
Observers now believe William will take the reins of Duchy Originals and its partnership with Waitrose, part of his new responsibilities as the Duke of Cornwall.
“I think there will be a tension between his new role as King Charles III and what he can and can’t do,” said Bloch, who also has worked on a voluntary basis with Charles’ Prince’s Trust charity. “It’s likely that Prince William will take over.”
In his first address to the nation as king, Charles acknowledged that his responsibilities will change.
“It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply,” he said. “But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.”
William spent lots of time on the Highgrove estate growing up and enrolled in an agricultural management course at the University of Cambridge in 2014. Still, Smith doesn’t think he’ll be as involved in the details of the business.
“I wouldn’t imagine he’ll get into the minutiae of it that Charles did,” she said.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called it a “historic day” before he signed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that sends more money to Milwaukee and gives both the city and county the ability to raise the local sales tax in an effort to avoid bankruptcy.
The measure also sends 36% more money overall to every other smaller city, town, village and county in Wisconsin, part of a deal Evers struck with Republican legislative leaders to also increase funding for K-12 public schools and send more money to private schools that accept voucher students.
Evers signed the bill surrounded by a bipartisan group of state lawmakers, Milwaukee leaders and local officials in Wausau. Local governments have been clamoring for more state aid following years of cuts or stagnant funding that have forced cuts to essential services like police and fire protection.
“For far too long, our local communities have been forced to do more with less,” Evers said. “And we’ve seen the consequence of that play out in communities across Wisconsin.”
He said communities have been “forced to make impossible decisions about what essential services to fund.”
Milwaukee’s leaders had warned of catastrophic cuts if the bill was not enacted. Milwaukee is struggling with an underfunded pension system and not enough money to maintain essential police, fire and emergency services.
State Sen. LaTonya Johnson, of Milwaukee, said at the bill signing ceremony that the city was “on the verge of insolvency” that would have required laying off hundreds of police and firefighters, among others. The additional funding provides a lifeline, she said.
“It is our city’s opportunity to start over,” Johnson said.
The roughly $1 billion in aid to local governments — known as shared revenue — would be paid for by tapping 20% of the state’s 5-cent sales tax. Aid would then grow along with sales tax revenue. The measure increases current aid by about $250 million statewide.
The new law also allows the Milwaukee Common Council and Milwaukee County Board to vote on raising local sales taxes, a power they did not have.
Some Republicans in the Legislature had wanted to require a vote of the people before those local sales taxes could be raised. But Milwaukee leaders, Democrats and some Republicans argued the need for more funding was too critical to leave to a referendum vote that could fail.
With Evers’ signing the bill, the focus now shifts to those Milwaukee governing boards to see if they will vote to approve the increase.
The shared revenue program to fund local governments, created in 1911, has remained nearly unchanged for almost 30 years, despite overall growth in tax revenues. Shared revenue for counties and municipalities was cut in 2004, 2010 and 2012 and since then has been relatively flat.
The Legislature passed the bill on a bipartisan vote last week.
While the focus of the new law is sending more money to Wisconsin’s local governments, it also includes a wide array of other provisions.
Those include cutting aid to communities that reduce the number of police officers and firefighters and banning public health officials from ordering businesses closed for more than 30 days without approval from a local governing board, which could extend closures for only an additional 30 days.
The law also forbids local communities from putting advisory referenda questions on the ballot, except those related to certain projects that would be funded with property tax money. The bill would not allow questions on hot-button issues like whether voters support abortion rights, accept Medicaid expansion or legalize marijuana, which many communities across the state have put forward in recent years.
The law also targets diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
It prevents Milwaukee from using tax money for “funding any position for which the principal duties consist of promoting individuals or groups on the basis of their race, color, ancestry, national origin or sexual orientation.”
The law also says that no local government “may discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment on the basis of, race, color, ancestry, national origin, or sexual orientation in making employment decisions.”
It further requires Milwaukee Public Schools to return at least 25 police officers, known as school resource officers, to its schools by Jan. 1.
Evers also signed the measure increasing funding for schools, which some Democrats objected to because it also increases funding to private schools that accept voucher students. Evers, a former state education secretary, heralded the additional $1 billion in money for K-12 schools, including more for special education, literacy programming and mental health services.

Yuba City pharmacies short on medication amid nationwide increase of respiratory illnesses
Over-the-counter medications are increasing in demand as people are contracting respiratory viruses at higher rates.
As of Nov. 30, the Department of Health and Human Services recorded 19,593 new flu hospitalizations — up from 11,378 the last reported week — in the U.S. and 3,661 of those here in California. That increased number of illnesses is leading people to seek relief.
Bruce Uch, a pharmacist at Good Neighbor Pharmacy in Yuba City, said that demand usually increases in November and December due to the flu season and weather changes. That brings customers to the pharmacy to seek out medication like Benadryl, Claritin, Claritin D and nasal sprays. Other painkillers hard to come by recently are children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Mario's Pharmacy, located at 1215 Plumas St., is also struggling with supply shortages as its suppliers are overseas.
"What we're doing is just reaching out to our suppliers and seeing how backed up they are, so as soon as we can get the stuff that we can, we order from different places," owner Mario Mendoza said.
Roger Marionneaux is one of many on the consumer end struggling with supply issues. He said he searched for hours at three different places looking for a decongestant.
"I went to two pharmacies today and the shelves are completely empty. I went to the local supermarket earlier and there's nothing there. It's pretty bad when you really need it and there's nothing there," said Marionneaux, who had to take one of the very few options he found at his third stop. "The medicine I got was a lot more expensive because I guess the demand. For a small bottle, it was $18."
But that's not the only thing that's up in demand. Uch says that they've recently seen an increase in people going in to get their flu and COVID-19 shots as well.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Family brought Duncan Keith to Edmonton after a stellar run as the backbone of the Chicago Blackhawks’ defense.
And following a season with the Oilers, family is why Keith feels he’s in a good place to end his NHL career after 17 seasons, three Stanley Cups and two Norris Trophy awards as the league’s top defenseman.
Keith announced his retirement Tuesday, at times fighting back tears during a news conference as he thanked teammates, coaches and family members for helping him along the way of his Hall of Fame-caliber career.
Keith will turn 39 on Saturday, and said there’s a noticeable change in how he’s felt in recent postseasons. That, coupled with the desire to spend more time with his son Colton, helped him reach a difficult decision.
“I still love the game, always will,” Keith said, Colton by his side. “But with getting older … and the thought of being around my son more, and being around him and his hockey — being able to help my brother coach our boys and my niece — the more it got closer to that, the more excited about it I became.”
In his final season, he put up 21 points (one goal, 20 assists) over 64 games with an average ice time of nearly 20 minutes. He added a goal and four assists in 16 playoff outings as the Oilers made it to the Western Conference final for the first time since advancing to the Stanley Cup series in 2006.
“I think that’s how I wanted to go out, knowing that I still had some game left in me and I’m relatively healthy,” the four-time all-star said.
Keith was selected by Chicago in the second round, 54th overall, in the 2002 NHL draft. Keith went on to anchor a Blackhawks blue-line that won the Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015. He was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2015 after piling up 21 points (three goals, 18 assists) in 23 games and won Norris Trophy as top defenseman in 2010 and 2014.
Keith thanked many of the teammates he found success with in Chicago — Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp — but had special praise for longtime defense partner Brent Seabrook. Keith and Seabrook played their 1,000th game together on Dec. 11, 2018.
Keith said the opportunity to play with Edmonton superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl “speaks for itself” and called them “the two best players in the world.”
Keith finished his career with 106 goals, 540 assists and 675 penalty minutes over 1,256 games.
Internationally, Keith helped Canada win Olympic gold at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games.

LONDON (AP) — The U.K. is likely to avoid a recession this year, Treasury chief Jeremy Hunt said Wednesday, adding a bit of surprise to what had been billed as a boring budget meant to restore confidence and stability in the nation’s finances.
The announcement came as Hunt delivered his spending plan to a packed House of Commons, drawing repeated cheers from his party’s lawmakers and sustained heckling from the opposition amid the political theater that traditionally accompanies publication of the government’s budget.
An improving global economic picture, combined with government plans to stimulate growth, mean the British economy won’t slip into a “technical recession” this year, defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction, Hunt said, citing analysis from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility. As recently as November, the OBR forecast that the economy would shrink throughout 2023.
The improved outlook gave Hunt enough financial headroom to offer more than 9 billion pounds ($10.8 billion) of tax incentives for businesses that invest in the economy, as well as programs intended to lure mothers and older people back into work.
But there was no money for striking teachers, civil servants and young doctors who staged a noisy protest outside Parliament while Hunt delivered his speech. The strikes are similar to widespread unrest in France about the economic situation and plans to increase the retirement age.
As double-digit inflation erodes the incomes of public-sector workers, the U.K. government says big pay increases will only lead to further inflation, so the strikers got nothing.
“High inflation is the root cause of the strikes we have seen in recent months,” Hunt said. “We will continue to work hard to settle these disputes, but only in a way that does not fuel inflation.”
The budget marks the government’s latest effort to bolster an economy ravaged by the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which have helped push inflation to levels last seen in the early 1980s.
Consumer prices rose 10.1% in the year through January, the fifth consecutive month of double-digit increases. To combat inflation, the Bank of England has approved 10 interest rate increases over the past 15 months, raising the cost of mortgages, consumer and business loans.
But the outlook is improving.
The OBR on Wednesday forecast that inflation would slow to 2.9% by the end of 2023. The economy is expected to shrink just 0.2% this year, compared with the 1.4% contraction expected in November, the OBR said.
Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition Labour Party, noted the still anemic growth outlook, saying Hunt was “dressing up stagnation as stability” and putting the country on a “path of managed decline.”
Even so, Wednesday’s budget marked a stark contrast to the situation in October when Hunt took office following his predecessor’s disastrous “mini-budget, ” which set off a financial catastrophe by promising huge tax cuts without saying how it would pay for them . The value of the pound plunged, mortgage rates soared and the central bank was forced to intervene to protect pension funds.
As a result, most analysts expected Hunt to aim for tame this time around.
At one point, he even offered funding to fight the “curse″ of potholes, handing over 200 million pounds ($241 million) to local communities to get rid of them.
But there were bigger initiatives as well.
Even before he got to the Commons, Hunt announced he would spend 3 billion pounds ($3.6 billion) to extend the energy price guarantee that has helped shield consumers from high electricity and natural gas prices this winter.
Hunt later said the government would provide billions of pounds worth of tax credits for businesses that invest in Britain, with special programs for high-tech and science-based startups that are expected to drive economic growth.
That will cut the effective tax rate for most companies, even as the government goes ahead with plans to increase the headline rate of corporation tax by six percentage points to 25%, Hunt said.
In keeping with his back to work theme, Hunt also announced increased child care payments to help young mothers return to work and more generous allowances for tax-free pension saving to entice early retirees back into the workforce.
But those promises were little consolation to thousands of doctors, nurses and other workers who spent the past days picketing in front of hospitals and other government buildings.
The British Medical Association, which represents the fully qualified physicians known in the U.K. as “junior doctors,” says first-year doctors have seen their pay fall by 26% over the past 15 years after accounting for inflation.
That means first-year doctors now earn as little as 14.09 pounds an hour, compared with up to 14.10 pounds an hour for baristas at Pret a Manger, a sandwich and coffee shop chain that just gave workers a third raise in less than 12 months, the group said.
Outside St. Thomas’ Hospital in central London, Dr. Leah Sugarman, 33, joined other strikers as they chanted, “What do we want? Fair pay! When do we want it? Now!″
The emergency medicine doctor, who has been on the job for nine years, said she can’t pay a mortgage and struggles to live a normal life.
“We’ve all lived through COVID, that was horrendous. Most of us have come out mentally scarred from that,” she said. “And every day that I leave work, I pretty much want to cry because I haven’t been able to do the job that I chose to go into this profession for.”
She added that she has been forced to drop her hours to less than 40 hours a week, “because I can’t mentally go to work full time anymore.”
“It is just a car crash,” she said. “So that’s why I’m here.”

Sinead O’Connor told her kids what to do if she was found dead
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
(CNN) — Sinead O’Connor knew the value of her music legacy.
In a 2021 interview with People magazine to promote her memoir “Rememberings,” O’Connor said she had explained to her children the importance of protecting her music and finances.
To that end, she said she told them to call her accountant before they telephoned 911 should she ever be found dead.
“See, when the artists are dead, they’re much more valuable than when they’re alive,” she told the publication. “Tupac has released way more albums since he died than he ever did alive, so it’s kind of gross what record companies do.”
“That’s why I’ve always instructed my children since they were very small, ‘If your mother drops dead tomorrow, before you called 911, call my accountant and make sure the record companies don’t start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is,’” she further explained.
The Irish singer died this week after being found unresponsive at a home in London. She was 56.
No cause of death has been released, but London police said Thursday it was not being treated as suspicious.
O’Connor was the mother of four children. Her 17-year-old son Shane died last year after going missing in the days prior.
She was a vocalist known for her pure and crisp voice, paired with exceptional songwriting abilities that evoked her views on politics, spirituality, history and philosophy.
Her first album, “The Lion and the Cobra,” was released to critical acclaim in 1987, but it was O’Connor’s 1990 sophomore album, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” which broke her through as a well-known artist.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ivica Zubac scored a season-high 31 points and pulled down a career-best 29 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers pulled away in the second half to beat the Indiana Pacers 114-100 on Sunday.
Zubac had the most rebounds in an NBA game this season and was one board away from the league’s fourth 30-point/30-rebound rebound game and first since 2018 when he fouled out with 3:40 remaining.
Norman Powell added 19 points and Terance Mann 14 for the Clippers, who are still without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Jalen Smith scored a career-high 23 points for the Pacers, while Tyrese Haliburton added 15 and T.J. McConnell 14.
Zubac, a sixth-year center from Croatia, also is the first Clippers player since DeAndre Jordan in 2018 to have a game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds. Zubac is the 12th player in franchise history with a 20/20 game.
It was the second-most rebounds in a Clippers game since 1981, according to SportRadar. Michael Cage had the most with 30 in a 1988 game against Seattle.
Zubac was 14 of 17 from the field, including three dunks, and 3 of 3 on free throws in 31 minutes. He had 14 points in the first quarter, which was a career high for him in any period.
Los Angeles led 59-57 at halftime and was up 65-62 with 8:28 remaining in the third quarter before going on a 16-3 run over a five-minute span to break it open. Marcus Morris Sr. had six points during the run and Zubac added four.
The Clippers’ largest lead was 20 early in the fourth quarter.
TIP-INS
Pacers: Buddy Hield, who came into the game second in the league with 69 3-pointers, was 1 of 9 beyond the arc and finished with 10 points.
Clippers: Morris scored 13 points while John Wall and Moses Brown added 10 apiece off the bench.
UP NEXT
Pacers: Remain in Los Angeles to face the Lakers Monday.
Clippers: Travel to Portland on Tuesday.

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg.
It was not clear if Prigozhin’s presence in Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the head of the Wagner Group military contractor to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and a promise of amnesty for him and his troops. But the reports signaled that the agreement may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia.
If that’s true, it could suggest the threat posed by Prigozhin has not yet been fully defused and that the Kremlin is treading carefully with him until it can figure out what to do with troops who may still be loyal to him. Putin has said that Wagner troops can join the Russian military, retire from service or move to Belarus.
But much about the the agreement, which was brokered by Lukashenko, remains murky.
Last week, Lukashenko said the mercenary leader was in Belarus, but on Thursday he told international reporters that Prigozhin was in St. Petersburg and could also travel to Moscow if he wishes, while Wagner’s troops were in their camps. He did not specify the location of the camps, but Prigozhin’s mercenaries fought alongside Russian forces in eastern Ukraine before their revolt and also have bases on Russian territory.
He also said that Prigozhin has been given back the cash and weapons that were confiscated by Russian authorities.
Asked where Prigozhin is, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov shrugged off the question, saying that the Kremlin has neither the desire nor the means to track his movements — but reaffirmed that the deal that ended the mutiny envisaged his move to Belarus.
Lukashenko said his government offered Wagner, which has sent troops around the world to fight for Russia’s interests, the use of Belarusian military camps but that the company had not made a final decision.
The Kremlin has played down the fact that Prigozhin escaped punishment for his mutiny while other Putin critics have been met with harsh prison sentences, exile or even death, saying that the deal with the Wagner chief was necessary to avoid massive bloodshed.
The Belarusian leader shrugged off suggestions that Putin might order Prigozhin killed, saying: “If you think that Putin is so vicious and vindictive to finish him off, no, it’s not going to happen.”
On Wednesday, Russian online newspapers Fontanka and Izvestia posted videos and photos of Prigozhin’s opulent mansion in Russia’s second-largest city that showed stacks of cash and gold bullion. The images appeared to be part of the authorities’ efforts to denigrate Prigozhin, who has postured as an enemy of corrupt elites even though he has owed his wealth to Putin.
A photo hanging in the mansion showed a lineup of decapitated heads. In one published image, an oversized souvenir sledgehammer could also be seen with the inscription “for important negotiations.” The sledgehammer has become a symbol of Wagner after reports its troops used the tool to beat defectors to death.
The Russian media also published a collection of selfies that showed him posing in various wigs, fake beards and foreign uniforms, an apparent reflection of Wagner’s deployments to Syria and several African countries.
Asked if Prigozhin and his mercenaries would eventually move to Belarus, Lukashenko answered evasively that it would depend on the decisions of the Wagner chief and the Russian government.
The Belarusian leader said he doesn’t think the mercenaries’ presence in his country would lead to its destabilization and said any Wagner troops there would be required to sign a contract with Belarusian authorities that would outline conditions and limitations of their actions.
Belarusian political analyst Valery Karbalevich argued, however, that Lukashenko could feel uneasy about Wagner’s presence on his turf. “If this structure rebelled against its master once, it can do it again and again and march on Minsk instead of marching on Moscow,” Karbalevich said.
The Belarusian president dismissed suggestions that the mercenaries could attack Ukraine from Belarusian territory, which Russian troops used as a staging ground ahead of their invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow has also maintained a military presence in Belarus.
During their short revolt, Prigozhin’s mercenaries quickly swept through the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and captured the military headquarters there before marching to within about 200 kilometers (125 miles) of the Russian capital. Prigozhin described it as a “march of justice” to oust his longtime foes — Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu and the chief of the military’s general staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, whose handling of the war in Ukraine he criticized.
The Wagner fighters faced little resistance, smashing occasional roadblocks. They also downed at least six helicopters and a command post aircraft, killing at least 10 airmen.
When the deal was struck, the Wagner chief ordered his troops to return to their camps.
The abortive rebellion represented the biggest threat to Putin in his more than two decades in power, exposing his weakness and eroding the Kremlin’s authority. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Shoigu and Gerasimov retained Putin’s favor after vanishing from public view during the mutiny, but so far they have kept their positions.
Lukashenko said he warned Prigozhin that he and his troops would be destroyed if they failed to make a quick deal to end their mutiny and that Belarus would send a brigade to help protect Moscow.
“It was necessary to nip it in the bud. It was very dangerous, as history shows,” Lukashenko said.
Asked about the deployment of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, Lukashenko said they are intended to deter any aggression against the country. Putin and Lukashenko both have said that some of them already have been moved to Belarus, and the Belarusian leader reaffirmed Thursday that a “certain number” of them have been flown to Belarus and the rest will be delivered before the year’s end.
Lukashenko said that Russia would consult him on any possible use of those weapons, adding that it could only happen in response to an act aggression by NATO against Russia or Belarus.
The Belarusian leader noted that “these weapons serve strictly defensive purposes.”
He added: “Don’t touch us, and we will never use these deadly weapons.”

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Lawmakers are rethinking the future of SNAP food assistance after the program saw a surge in participants during the pandemic.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said as some pandemic-era rules expire, lawmakers must now focus on expanding access to those in need.
“It uplifted over 2 million people above the poverty line,” she said.
Stacy Dean, who oversees the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at the Department of Agriculture, said changes allowing families to shop with SNAP online or at farmers markets were helpful.
“We’ve learned about a different way of doing things,” Dean said.
Republicans argue some new changes, like a recent 21% hike in monthly payments, come at too steep a price for tax payers.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, say they’re concerned the program is being abused in some states where unemployed, able-bodied adults without kids can still get aid.
“The pandemic cannot be used as an excuse,” Grassley said.
“We do have to maintain program integrity,” Ernst said.
Dean said the flexibility ends in May. She asked lawmakers not to push cuts.
“Because we know how many families are really living on the edge,” Dean said.
Right now, Republicans are searching for ways to reduce the nation’s spending. But Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Miss., said SNAP should not be on the chopping block.
“That’s a program that really helps working people,” he said.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) — A 16-year-old helping his family. A custodian and father of two. A mother with wedding plans. A happy-go-lucky guy. A longtime employee.
That’s how friends and family described some of the six people killed at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, when a manager opened fire with a handgun before an employee meeting. Authorities released the name of the sixth person killed, a 16-year-old boy, Friday morning. The five adult victims were identified late Wednesday.
Here are some details about those who were lost:
___
Fernando Chavez-Barron, 16, of Chesapeake
Family and friends dressed in white honored Chavez-Barron at a vigil in the Walmart parking lot on Thursday night. His friends told The Virginian-Pilot that it was hard to believe that he was gone.
Family friend Rosy Perez told The New York Times that the teen attended a local high school while working the overnight shift at Walmart to assist his family.
“He wanted to help a little bit,” Perez said. “He was a very good child.”
___
Kellie Pyle, 52, of Chesapeake
Pyle was remembered as a generous and kind person, a mother who had wedding plans in the near future.
“We love her,” said Gwendolyn Bowe Baker Spencer. “She was going to marry my son next year. She was an awesome, kind individual — yes she was.”
Pyle had adult children in Kentucky who will be traveling to Virginia in the wake of the tragedy, Spencer said.
Pyle moved back to her native Norfolk in May after reconnecting with her high school sweetheart and got a job at the Walmart recently, her cousin Billy Pillar-Gibson told The Washington Post. He remembered Pyle’s sarcastic sense of humor and called her his best friend.
“We grew up in a crazy family, and we understood each other,” he said. “I don’t remember life without her.”
___
Brian Pendleton, 38, of Chesapeake
Pendleton made sure to be punctual. Although his shift as a custodian started at 10:30 p.m., he was in the break room when the shooting started just after 10, according to his mother, Michelle Johnson.
“He always came to work early so he would be on time for work,” she told The Associated Press Wednesday. “He liked his coworkers.”
Pendleton had recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary working at the store.
His mother said he didn’t have any problems at work, except with a supervisor, Andre Bing, who was identified as the gunman.
“He just didn’t like my son,” Johnson said. “He would tell me that he (Bing) would give him a hard time.”
Pendleton was born with a congenital brain disorder and grew up in Chesapeake, his mother said.
“He called me yesterday before he was going to work,” Johnson said. “I always tell him to call me when gets off work.”
As she was getting ready for bed, Johnson got a call from a family friend telling her there was a shooting at the Walmart.
“Brian was a happy-go-lucky guy. Brian loved family. Brian loved friends. He loved to tell jokes,” his mother said. “We’re going to miss him.”
___
Lorenzo Gamble, 43, of Chesapeake
Gamble was a custodian on the overnight shift and had worked at Walmart for 15 years, The Washington Post reported.
His parents Linda and Alonzo Gamble said he loved spending time with his two sons.
“He just kept to himself and did his job,” Linda Gamble said. “He was the quiet one of the family.”
His mother said Gamble enjoyed going to his 19-year-old’s football games and cheering for the Washington Commanders NFL team.
She posted on Facebook that she’s having trouble saying goodbye.
“Missing my baby right now, life is not same without my son,” she wrote.
___
Randy Blevins, 70, of Chesapeake
Blevins was a Norfolk Admirals hockey fan and enjoyed photography and collecting coins, daughter Cassandra Yeats told The New York Times.
“He never missed a single day of work,” she said. “He loved his family and supported everyone.”
Blevins was a longtime member of the store’s team that set prices and arranged merchandise. Former co-worker Shaundrayia Reese, who said she worked at the store from around 2015 to 2018, spoke fondly of Blevins as “Mr. Randy.”
She said the overnight crew at the store was “a family” and that employees relied on one another.
__
Tyneka Johnson, 22, of Portsmouth
Theodore Johnson, 41, told The New York Times that his cousin lived with her mother.
“She was young and wanted to make her own money,” he said.
When Johnson attended Western Branch High School, Casheba Cannon tutored the student with dreams of college and a supportive family, Cannon told The Washington Post.
“Education was in the forefront. Her family did whatever they had to do to make sure she got assistance,” Cannon said.
Johnson was willing to work to better herself, but she was also cheerful, helped younger students and “gelled” with everyone she encountered at Cannon’s Blessed Tutoring Services, she said. Johnson had a sense of style and love for music and dancing.
“She was that kid. When she came to tutoring, she was very well put together,” Cannon said. “Tyneka was a light in a dim room.”
A makeshift memorial to Johnson was placed in a grassy area outside the Walmart, with the words “Our Hearts are with you” and a basket of flowers.
The remembrance included a cluster of blue, white and gold balloons tied to a tree, alongside a stark yellow line of police tape.

It may come as a surprise to some that the Legislature has reapportioned voting districts. I guess that gerrymandering is not uncommon, but our new Senate District 10 is baffling. Three towns in Hancock County (Bucksport, Dedham and Otis) join six towns on the Brewer side of the river north of Bucksport and three towns on the Bangor side (Hampden, Newburgh and Carmel).
I’m not sure that I see why this district is laid out the way it has been. Voters in this area please be aware that some major changes have been made. The state website contains old, outdated district listings.

LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In June and October 2019, various TADG subsidiaries filed complaints against the Receiver and various Sage entities for specific performance and breach of contract arising from transactions between the parties in 2017 giving rise to various subsequent legal disputes. In December 2019, the Receiver filed his own action against TADG, alleging various claims including concealment and breach of fiduciary duty the merits of which TADG wholly denied. In February, 2020, TADG and the Receiver settled those pending legal disputes. Specifically, the 2020 settlement resolved the complaints filed by TADG against the Receiver as well as the action filed by the Receiver against TADG, certain of its subsidiaries, Nasser Watar, and certain former Sage employees. The Settlement included the complete dismissal of the action against Mr. Nasser Watar, TADG, its named subsidiaries, and the named former Sage employees. The settlement did not include any admission of liability on the part of Mr. Watar, TADG, its subsidiaries, or any of the named former Sage employees.
In 2022, TADG initiated arbitration proceedings against the Receiver in which TADG contended that the Receiver had failed to fully and timely fulfill the terms of the prior Settlement Agreement, based on which TADG had exercised its option to purchase the real property at which its West Covina Nissan and Kia Downtown Los Angeles dealerships operated. After further litigation between the parties, TADG and the Receiver reached a further global settlement that resolve all pending and potential disputes between them. The settlement specifically included the acquisition by TADG of the Kia Downtown Los Angeles dealership property.
Nasser Watar, comments that TADG is "pleased that several years of litigation between us and the Receiver have been concluded in TADG's favor and is finally over" and added that he is "particularly excited for the future of our Kia Downtown Los Angeles dealership now that we own the property."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for the 5-year-old son of a man who died after repeatedly being shocked by Los Angeles police with a stun gun following a traffic collision filed a $50 million claim Friday for damages against the city.
The legal claim is required before Keenan Anderson’s son and estate can sue LA police for wrongful death and civil rights violations for restraining him and shocking him six times with a Taser in less than a minute on Jan. 3.
“If you Taser someone with 50,000 watts of electrical energy six times … is there really any wonder that moments later his heart will begin to flutter?” attorney Carl Douglas said at a news conference. “Is there any wonder why four hours later his heart could no longer withstand the pressure from that Taser and gave up, leaving a 5-year-old boy in his wake?”
The claim was filed on behalf of Anderson’s son, Syncere Kai Anderson, who stood with his mother, Gabrielle Hansell, the administrator of his estate, alongside their attorneys.
Anderson, 31, a high school English teacher in Washington, D.C., and cousin of Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, was the suspect in a hit-and-run traffic collision when he was stopped by police in Venice. He later ran from officers and resisted arrest, police said.
Anderson screamed for help after he was pinned to the street by officers and repeatedly shocked, according to video released by the department.
“They’re trying to kill me,” Anderson yelled.
Footage showed an officer pressing his forearm on Anderson’s chest and an elbow in this neck.
“They’re trying to George Floyd me,” Anderson said in reference to the Black man killed by officers in Minnesota.
“We can only wonder what Keenan Anderson meant,” attorney Ben Crump said. “But if he meant that he would end up dead at the end of the encounter at the hands of the Los Angeles Police Department then Keenan Anderson was correct. They George Floyd him.”
Chief Michel Moore said Anderson initially complied with officers as they investigated whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But he was subdued after struggling with officers who had chased him when he bolted.
Anderson ran in fear — as other Black men have — when additional officers responding to a call for backup rushed toward him, Douglas said.
The claim said officers used unreasonable deadly force, carelessly and mistakenly deployed the Taser, failed to follow training on the dangers of asphyxiation while handcuffing Anderson and conspired with each other to hide and distort information in false police reports.
An LAPD toxicology test found cocaine and cannabis in Anderson’s body, the chief said. The coroner’s office will also perform a toxicology report.
The officers haven’t been named yet but their union issued a statement saying the family and attorneys were “trying to shamelessly profit” from a “tragic incident.”
An LAPD spokesperson declined comment citing a policy not to comment on pending litigation.
After being subdued, Anderson went into cardiac arrest and died at a hospital about four hours later.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A cargo ship docked at the East Coast’s biggest port smoldered for a third day and will likely burn for several more after the fire claimed the lives of two New Jersey firefighters, officials said Friday, acknowledging that they’ll be discussing how first responders are trained.
What caused the fire aboard the Grande Costa d’Avorio, an Italian-flagged vessel carrying cars and other goods, at port in Newark won’t be known until an investigation after the fire is out, according to Coast Guard Capt. Zeita Merchant, the captain of the Port of New York and New Jersey.
A crew of 20 firefighters, salvage workers and a New York fire boat blasted jets of water onto the ship to contain the intense heat, which officials have said burned on the 10th through 12th levels at the rear of the ship. Flames occasionally flared from top level.
Crews described the difficulty controlling the blaze.
“Access is tough. The heat is extreme. It’s a steel box. So it’s a very complex situation,” said Gordon Lorenson of Donjon Marine, a salvage company assisting with the fire.
Fire crews have to pour enough water onto the vessel to douse the flames but too much could cause the ship to tilt, he said, so they then pump it off the ship. The vessel listed slightly to its right but was stable, according to Tom Wiker, president of Gallagher Marine Systems, which was representing the ship’s owner, the Grimaldi Group.
The Port Authority relies on local fire departments, like Newark’s, to assist with fires since it doesn’t have its own firefighting agency.
Authorities declined to answer whether firefighters should have gone into harm’s way to put the blaze out when no lives appeared to be at risk on the ship with 28 crew members.
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Frage said the city has an agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey covering their response to fires and they continue to have conversations “today and going forward in terms of training.” He didn’t offer specifics about training.
Lorenson said shipboard fires are unique from one event to the next and can change.
“You can do all the training in the world and you’re going to find something you’ve never seen before,” he said.
Newark Fire Chief Rufus Jackson said Thursday that the department had trained on passenger-carrying ships before, but not the specific kind of cargo vessel they’re confronting now.
Killed in the blaze that started Wednesday night were Newark firefighters Augusto “Augie” Acabou and Wayne “Bear” Brooks Jr., whom officials praised for their bravery. President Joe Biden called the families of the fallen firefighters to offer condolences, according to Michael Giunta, head of the firefighters union.
At a memorial Friday, the men were remembered by friends and family, speaking through tears.
Roger Terry, Brooks’ uncle, called his nephew “a real-life Superman” who had always wanted to be a firefighter. Brooks’ wife and two daughters sobbed as he was remembered.
Firefighter Michael Johnson of Ladder 4 said Brooks “loved his life, loved his kids. He loved the job more than anything. ”
Acabou’s cousin, Newark fire Capt. Carlos Henriquez, read a letter from his family about Acabou, calling their loss “unfathomable.”
Acabou’s “sense of honor was unparalleled. And he consistently exemplified this through his actions. Everything he did was about helping others, going above and beyond for those in need.”
Marine traffic trackers show the ship, which was was built in 2011, had arrived from the Port of Baltimore several days earlier. It was carrying more than 1,200 new and used cars, vans and trucks.
The fire broke out about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. About an hour later, there was a mayday call when two firefighters became trapped inside the ship. Rescue workers rescued Acabou from the ship before midnight and he was later taken a hospital, where he died Thursday morning. Brooks died early Thursday morning after he was recovered. Five other firefighters were injured.
Grimaldi Deep Sea said in a statement that the crew immediately activated on-board fire suppression procedures and the local firefighting service was alerted, triggering a prompt response that was crucial to containing and controlling the blaze. It also said that no electric cars nor hazardous cargo is on board, no fuel spills have been detected, and the stability of the ship was not been compromised.
The Grimaldi Group statement said the cause of the fire isn’t known, but it will investigate in cooperation with authorities.

ROME (AP) — The Vatican on Thursday released the first images of Pope Francis since his June 7 abdominal surgery, showing him in his wheelchair visiting the children’s cancer ward in a sign he is getting ready to be discharged soon from the hospital.
Francis appeared in good health in the images, in which he is seen in the corridor of the pediatric oncology ward of Rome’s Gemelli hospital, meeting with children, their parents and medical staff. In one photo, he is shown elsewhere speaking with a couple in a private room, the man in a wheelchair.
The Vatican said on Wednesday that Francis was expected to be released from Gemelli “in the coming days.” When he was hospitalized in 2021, Francis paid a visit to the children’s cancer ward the day before he left and returned to the Vatican.
The 86-year-old pope was admitted to Gemelli hospital on June 7 for surgery to repair a hernia in his abdominal wall and remove intestinal scar tissue that had caused intestinal blockages. Francis in 2021 had 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his colon removed at Gemelli because of a narrowing of the intestine, and had at least two prior abdominal surgeries in Argentina.
He was admitted for three days this spring after coming down with bronchitis, and s imilarly paid a visit to the cancer ward before being discharged.

The St. Louis Blues have signed forward Jordan Kyrou to an eight-year contract extension worth $65 million, the organization’s latest move to keep its top young players in the fold long term.
General manager Doug Armstrong announced the deal Tuesday, two months to the day since the Blues extended forward Robert Thomas for the identical contract terms. Each player counts $8.125 million against the salary cap from the start of the deal in 2023 through 2031.
Kyrou set career highs with 27 goals, 48 assists and 75 points in 74 games last season. He had 47 points in his first 99 NHL regular-season games.
Thomas is 23, while Kyrou is 24. St. Louis also has top four defensemen Colton Parayko, Torey Krug, Justin Faulk and Nicky Leddy signed for at least the next four seasons, and center Brayden Schenn is under contract for six more years.
Armstrong has reshaped the Blues since they won the Stanley Cup in 2019, the first championship in franchise history. Cup-winning goaltender Jordan Binnington signed long term, while then-captain Alex Pietrangelo left in free agency in 2020.
Two big questions still face the front office with key members of that title-winning team: Top center Ryan O’Reilly and winger Vladimir Tarasenko are each set to be a free agent after this upcoming season. O’Reilly figures to be part of the long-term core, something that’s far less certain with Tarasenko, who requested a trade in the summer of 2021 but remains with St. Louis.

‘True hero’: Retired firefighter dies while saving swimmers caught in rip current
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WANF/Gray News) - Family and friends are mourning the loss of a former Georgia firefighter who lost his life while helping others.
The Banks County Fire and EMS report that retired Captain Richie Alford died Thursday afternoon while rescuing two distressed swimmers who were caught in a rip current at Panama City Beach.
According to the Panama City Beach Police Department, Richie Alford’s body was recovered just after 1 p.m. A witness said Alford went into the water to help the swimmers. They made it back to shore, but Alford did not.
Richie Alford was pronounced dead just after 2 p.m.
“He did what he was taught to do, save lives. And that’s what he did,” the man’s father, Robert Alford, said.
There was a reported double red flag warning that day, meaning the water was closed to the public.
“They were sitting on the beach in lounge chairs until he [Richie Alford] heard a man screaming,” Robert Alford said. “He went to save him but got caught in a riptide and couldn’t get out.”
Richie Alford’s family said they are heartbroken about his death but the way he died is no surprise. They said the 52-year-old had the biggest heart and devoted his life to helping others.
“That’s what he lived for. That was his personality, to help people,” Robert Alford said.
Richie Alford was a firefighter in Banks County for several years before leaving the service about two years ago.
“Richie died doing what he loved, which was helping others in their time of need,” the department shared. “He is a true hero.”
Banks County Fire Battalion Chief Scottie Mathis said he and Richie Alford were like brothers. The two worked together for 18 years.
“He was just a true friend. He was always there when you needed him. You couldn’t ask for a better person,” Mathis said.
After retiring from the fire department, Richie Alford started his own glass business. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and coaching softball.
Mathis said Richie Alford was loved by so many and that’s how he’ll be remembered.
“Just remember him for the person he was. He would give the shirt off his back to a stranger,” Mathis said.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stocks sank Monday ahead of a U.S. inflation update traders worry might lead to more interest rate hikes.
Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul declined. Shanghai advanced. Oil prices declined.
Traders hope Tuesday's inflation data will show upward pressure on U.S. prices is easing, which might encourage the Federal Reserve to ease off efforts to cool business activity and hiring. They worry a strong reading after estimates of 2022 inflation were revised up last week would reinforce plans to keep rates high and possibly increase them.
A strong inflation figure “can move through risk assets like a wrecking ball,” said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management in a report.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo sank 1% to 27,392.23 while the Shanghai Composite Index advanced 0.5% to 3,278.07. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong lost 0.5% to 21,090.70.
The Kospi in Seoul declined 0.9% to 2,448.15 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 shed 0.3% to 7,408.50.
India's Sensex opened down 0.6% at 60,334.54. New Zealand and Singapore retreated while Jakarta and Bangkok gained.
On Friday, Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index rose 0.2% to 4,090.46. The index ended the week with a loss of 1.1%, its biggest weekly decline since December.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.5% to 33,869.27. The Nasdaq fell less than 0.1% to 11,718.12.
Stocks have been rallying since last month on hopes the Fed might start cutting rates as early as late this year. That is despite warnings by Chair Jerome Powell that rates will stay elevated for an extended period until inflation pressures are extinguished.
Other central banks in Europe and Asia also have raised rates to cool inflation.
Wall Street raised its forecast of how high the Fed might raise rates after Powell said last week there is a “significant road ahead” to get inflation down to its 2% target. He warned against expecting inflation to “go away quickly and painlessly.”
The U.S. government revised December inflation to 0.1% over the previous month, up from the earlier estimate of a 0.1% decline. The November figure was raised to 0.2% over the previous month from 0.1%.
Traders expect Tuesday's report to say consumer prices rose 0.5% in January over the previous month.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, or the difference between the market price and the payout at maturity, widened to 3.73% on Friday from 3.66%.
The yield on the two-year Treasury ticked up to 4.50% from 4.48%. It was at 4.08% just over a week ago and is near its highest level since November.
Equities analysts have cut forecasts of first-quarter earnings for companies in the S&P 500 by 4.5% due to the impact of inflation and slowing economic activity, according to strategists at Credit Suisse.
News Corp. fell 9.4% after the owner of The Wall Street Journal and other media reported weaker quarterly results than expected. Expedia lost 8.6% after reporting weaker profit and revenue for the latest quarter than expected.
Oil prices fell back following a surge Friday after Russia said it would cut production by 500,000 barrels per day next month. Western governments have imposed an upper limit on how much they will allow customers to pay for Russian crude to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude lost 89 cents to $78.83 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.66 to $79.72 on Friday. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, shed 87 cents to $85.52 per barrel in London. It gained $1.89 on Friday to $86.39.
The dollar gained to 132.10 yen from Friday's 131.50 yen. The euro declined to $1.0666 from $1.0672.

Hong Kong book fair kicks off with fewer political books
KATIE TAM and ZEN SOO
Associated Press
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s annual book fair has kicked off with several publishers of political books prevented from taking part in the fair and others saying they had to be cautious about what they exhibited. The fair’s main organizer, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said it did not screen the books for sale at the fair. But it stressed that exhibitors must abide by the law. Independent publisher Hillway Culture, which publishes books on Hong Kong and political events, was among those not allowed to participate. Hong Kong authorities have tightened controls on freedom of expression after a tough national security law took effect in 2020.
