Canada's primary tool to detect COVID-19 as mounting signs point toward a sixth wave, but experts warn that results should be read with caution as the spread of variants raises questions about diagnostic accuracy.\nThe head of Ontario's science advisory panel forecasted a COVID-19 \"tidal wave\" as wastewater monitoring suggests that the province is seeing between 100,000 and 120,000 new infections each day.\nThat's a far cry from the 4,224 cases officially reported Thursday because of limited PCR testing.\nHospitalizations in Ontario are up 40 per cent week over week, with 1,126 people reported hospitalized with the virus and 159 in intensive care.\nMeanwhile, Quebec health officials reported 3,777 new COVID-19 cases based on PCR testing, and 1,582 people in hospital with the disease.\nOntario and Quebec are among the provinces that have been reporting artificially low confirmed case counts since restricting access to PCR testing during the first Omicron wave.\nWhile rapid antigen tests were hard to come by during the variant's initial rise, supply has increased as Omicron's more contagious sibling, the BA.2 subvariant, seems to fuel another surge.\nWhile rapid tests can help Canadians make safer decisions about how to navigate this rise in infections amid loosening public health measures, experts warn that they can also provide a false sense of security.\nDr. Christopher Labos, a Montreal cardiologist with a degree in epidemiology, said it takes more than one rapid test to rule out infection because of high rates of false negatives.\nPotential sources of inaccuracy include improper technique, and testing too early in the illness for viral levels to be detectable, said Labos.\nThere are studies that suggest that repeated rapid testing at frequent intervals can improve detection, said Labos. So if your first rapid test comes back negative, test again, he suggested.\n\"Now that we're into the 'judge your own risk' phase of the pandemic ... I think people need to realize that the risk of false negatives with rapid tests is very real,\" Labos said, noting that evidence suggests the rate of false positives is fairly low.\n\"If you take your negative result as a license to return to normal, you might be inadvertently infecting other people, so I would continue to isolate, repeat the testing and make very sure you don't have COVID.\"\nThere are also questions about whether rapid tests are less sensitive to the Omicron subvariants.\nHealth Canada says on its website that it has \"no evidence\" that variants affect the ability of agency-approved tests to confirm COVID-19 cases, but notes that these new devices are still being investigated.\nIn February, the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table published findings from an analysis of preprint studies suggesting that the pooled sensitivity of rapid antigen tests for detecting Omicron infections is about 37 per cent, compared to 81 per cent for the Delta variant.\nThe science table's director, Dr. Peter Juni, said he hadn't looked into whether rapid test sensitivity differs between the two Omicron subvariants, but he expects more data will soon emerge.\nHe offered a rule of thumb for interpreting a rapid test result: If it's positive, believe you have COVID-19. But it takes at least two negative tests taken roughly 48 hours apart to confirm that you're in the clear.\nWhile many rapid test kits direct users to only take a nasal sample, Juni said swabbing the cheeks and the back of the throat beforehand may lead to more reliable results.\nBut Omar Khan, a professor of biomedical engineering and immunology at University of Toronto, strongly discouraged veering from the test kit's instructions, noting that the devices were designed and approved based on the recommended method of use.\nKhan said that rapid tests are an important, if imperfect, tool to guide individual behaviour, but their public policy applications are limited.\nMany provinces don't have systems to collect rapid test results, and those that do rely on voluntary reporting, which skews the data.\nKhan said authorities need to bolster their efforts to track how the COVID-19 virus is spreading and mutating, because as the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve, our current screening methods could become less effective.\n\"The targets of these rapid tests are no longer valid (if) genetically it's changed too much. And that's going to be important, because we want to make sure we have the right tools for surveillance and detection of the pathogen.\"\nJuni said limits on PCR testing make it unclear how long this wave will last, because we don't know how many people have been infected so far and may have an extra bit of immunity.\nHis comments come as all three provincial Opposition parties called on the government to reinstate or continue several public health measures, including mandatory masking and greater access to PCR testing.\nOntario Health Minister Christine Elliott, citing the province's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Moore, said the province need not reintroduce mask mandates because a rise in cases was expected.\nOn the East Coast, Nova Scotia officials said there were no immediate plans to re-introduce measures such as mandatory masking, despite a significant jump in confirmed COVID-19 cases.\nThe province released its weekly report Thursday which identified 6,991 new positive lab cases of the Omicron and BA.2 variants of novel coronavirus. That's 2,803 more confirmed cases than were reported the previous week, when there were 4,188.\nMeanwhile, Manitoba's chief public health officer said there are signs of increasing COVID-19 transmission, but severe outcomes have plateaued. The province also reduced the frequency and detail of COVID-19 data it releases.\n-- with files from Nicole Thompson in Toronto, Keith Doucette in Halifax and Steve Lambert in Winnipeg\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published April 7, 2022.\nGet in touch\nHave you had COVID-19 more than once in recent months?

studio\nATLANTA \u2014 Atlanta police are investigating after a late-night fatal shooting happened outside a well-known area recording studio.\nPolice now confirm that 28-year-old Trentavious White, who goes by the name of Bankroll Fresh, was shot at the Street Execs Studio at 1740 Defoor Place in northwest Atlanta.\nAccording to Lt. Charles Hampton with the Atlanta Police Department, authorities responded to the studio around 11 p.m. Friday night where they found a large crowd running away from the location. Shortly after police arrived, they learned that one person had been shot and taken away from the studio by car to the Hughes Spalding Hospital. The victim, now identified as White, died shortly before midnight from gunshot wounds.\n11Alive's crews on the scene reported at least 50 shell casings on the ground outside the studio, however police have not said how many of those shots actually hit White. Neighbors and business owners woke up to find bullet holes in their homes and storefronts, but at this time, police don't believe anyone else was hit or killed in the shooting.\nNews of the the rapper's death spread quickly online, and early Saturday morning \"RIP Bankroll Fresh\" was a top trending topic on Twitter, with many rappers expressing their shock at the news.\nStreet Execs Studio is known for work with several well-known artists, perhaps the most notable being College Park native 2 Chainz. But the artist isn't alone with other local acts, including Cap 1, Skooly, Travis Porter and Young Dolph all being listed on the studio's website as having ties to the location.\nBut outside the music world, and in the nearby neighborhood, opinions of the location have been mixed.\nIn November of 2015, 11Alive's Jeremy Campbell reported that neighbors in the Underwood Hills Neighborhood Association have blamed the studio for recent shootings, assaults, car break-ins and other repeated crime in the area.\nOwner Charley Jabaley responded to those complaints and said that he met with city leaders about safety and his future there. He also told 11Alive that he's worked to bring in new security and a new studio manager in an effort to keep noise and other problems down.\nAt this time, police have not released information regarding suspects or a possible motive, although Homeland Security responded to the location and recovered video evidence that is now being processed.\n11Alive's Gary Stilwell contributed to this report.\nIn other news\nPHOTOS | Mugshot gallery\nPHOTOS | People we've lost in 2016"}

for which elected officials like to take credit.\nSo hats off to Virginia lawmakers for their success in making the commonwealth a place that illegal gun traffickers boast is the absolute best place for them to do business.\n\u201cThere\u2019s no limit to how many guns I can go buy from the store. I can go get 20 guns from the store tomorrow. . . . I can do that Monday through Friday. . . . They might start looking at me, but in Virginia, our laws are so little, I can give guns away.\u201d\nThat testimonial to Virginia\u2019s lax gun laws was caught on a wiretap in a sweeping investigation of a gun-trafficking ring that operated up the Interstate 95 corridor from Virginia to New York.\nThe Brooklyn District Attorney\u2019s Office on Wednesday announced a 627-count indictment charging 24 people, some with violent criminal records and alleged ties to the Bloods street gang.\nAuthorities recovered 217 guns, including assault weapons and a Thompson submachine gun, in a scheme that involved straw purchases of guns at retailers and gun shows in Virginia and their subsequent transport by car or bus to Manhattan and Brooklyn, where buyers paid $1,200 for a handgun and $2,200 for an assault weapon.\n\u201cWhen you hear a trafficker boasting about the weak gun laws in Virginia, it is crystal clear that this needs to be addressed,\u201d said acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, obviously frustrated about having to deal with the dangerous consequences of another state\u2019s irresponsible gun laws.\nNew York has strict gun-control laws but they are undermined when guns flow in unchecked from other states. And, as Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring pointed out to us, logic holds that guns that are so easily trafficked out of state also are falling into the hands of criminals in Virginia, making the public less safe and increasing the risks to law enforcement.\nVirginia had a law on the books for 19 years limiting gun purchases to one a month, but \u2014 despite its success in helping to curtail the illicit gun trade and an appeal from Virginia Tech families \u2014 it was repealed in 2012. Efforts to restore the limit \u2014 as well as enact other common-sense measures that have popular support, such as universal background checks \u2014 have been killed by a General Assembly that is captive to the gun lobby.\nIt is way past time for Virginia to come to its senses and plug this gaping hole in the public safety net. Unless, of course, it enjoys the bragging rights of Virginia as a place for gun runners.\nCourtesy of The Washington Post"}

talks Duddy Kravitz, Graffiti, Jaws -- and Bill Clinton\nArticle content\nWHISTLER \u2013 Richard Dreyfuss is a white-bearded, mid-sized teddy bear of a man, in casual attire topped by a poor boy hat, and agreeable in conversation.\nAdvertisement 2\nArticle content\nSo agreeable, in fact, that if you only have 15 minutes with him choose your questions well, because he\u2019s got a long, charming story about everything.\ntap here to see other videos from our team.\nRichard Dreyfuss talks Duddy Kravitz, Graffiti, Jaws -- and Bill Clinton Back to video\nWell, almost everything. Vancouver fans will recall seeing Dreyfuss on the press conference sidelines 20 years ago when the world\u2019s focus was on Vancouver for the summit meeting between U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian leader Boris Yeltsin.\n\u201cI was a Clinton supporter, and so I got a call from the president saying \u2018You want to have a party?\u2019\u201d Dreyfuss recalled as he prepared for a weekend career retrospective at the Whistler Film Festival.\nThe actor said he was in Vancouver making the movie Another Stakeout when he got the call from Clinton.\n\u201cI said \u2018sure.\u2019 He said \u2018After I finish with Yeltsin, I want you to bring whomever is working in Vancouver and we\u2019ll go have a party.\u2019 We went to this hotel room about 10:30, 11 o\u2019clock. He showed up at about 2:30 a.m.\u201d\nClinton\u2019s entourage promptly fell asleep, while \u201cthe president charmed the women, the actresses I\u2019d brought, to such an extent that I wanted to just check to see if my phermones had been lost. It was great.\u201d\nWho else was there?\nDreyfuss smiled. \u201dNone of your business. Beautiful women.\u201d\nOkay, on to a quick retrospective, starting with American Graffiti, which launched several movie star careers, including that of the then-25-year-old Dreyfuss.\n\u201cEveryone knew that it was going to be this classic, except me. I said \u2018It\u2019s just a little movie, what are you getting excited about?\u2019\u201d\nAdvertisement 3\nArticle content\nBut Dreyfuss said he was certain he was going to be a movie star. \u201cI had been doing television since I was about 14, and I had a great reputation. They knew I was going to be a star, and I did too. I had an absolute, unbreakable sense of certainty about it. I\u2019ve had it since I was nine or 10.\u201d\nAs an unknown, he said, he would turn down roles he thought were too small. All of which could sound like arrogance, except that he spends much of his time praising co-stars and collaborators and critiquing his own work.\nHe said it took him 20 years to appreciate his second starring role, in the Canadian adaptation of Mordecai Richler\u2019s The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.\n\u201cAt first I said \u2018If it\u2019s seen in the United States. I will never work again.\u2019 It took me 20 years to get the fog out of my eyes and see the film for what it was and my performance, which is great. I can\u2019t think of a part as great as that role.\u201d\nAmerican Graffiti had opened in theatres while he was in Quebec\u2019s Laurentian Mountains making Duddy Kravitz, and by the time Kravitz came to theatres, Dreyfuss was a star, beset by boatloads of female fans on an east coast U.S. beach where he was filming Jaws with the young Steven Spielberg.\nDreyfuss said Spielberg was robbed of a best-director Oscar nomination for that film, though, again, Dreyfuss didn\u2019t know what they had until the film was screened.\n\u201cMaking that film was an act of waiting. All we did was wait for the shark to work or to get the sails out of the shot. I didn\u2019t know enough about movies then.\u201d\nAdvertisement 4\nArticle content\nDuring one of those waits in the cabin of the movie\u2019s boat, actor Robert Shaw read to co-stars Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider from Shaw\u2019s play called The Man In The Glass Booth, about a man kidnapped by the Israelis who might be Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.\n\u201cHe has a speech at the end of the play and Robert read it aloud. It starts out \u2018let me speak to of love, let me speak to you of the Fuehrer.\u2019\u201d\nThe speech ended with \u201c\u2019Children of Israel, if he had chosen you, you also would have followed where he led.\u2019\n\u201cAnd at the end of that I was sitting there, silent, and I looked up and the entire crew including Steven were at the windows listening.\u201d\nThat led to Steven Spielberg giving Shaw the movie\u2019s classic speech telling the true story about the Second World War USS Indianapolis survivors being eaten by sharks as they waited to be rescued.\n\u201cShaw had to be the one to tell that story, and the speech was worked on by Francis Coppola, John Milius, Marty Scorsese and Steven. It was mostly Steven\u2019s. And it is the most mesmerizing speech, story in the world.\u201d\nThen Dreyfuss was on to more shark stories, one about a Great White shark that was hooked and then started to eat the stern of a boat, just like in the movie.\n\u201cI tell all my surfer friends \u2018don\u2019t wear black, wear red.\u2019 They think they\u2019re seals.\u201d\nWe skip through a stretch of roles that started in the 1990s, wherein the die-hard Clinton supporter took gleeful delight in onscreen portrayals of sour right-wingers starting with The American President \u2014 \u201cMy version of Robert Dole.\u201d\nAdvertisement 5\nArticle content\nThen he played \u201cDick Cheney, Alexander Haig . . . People say \u2018how could you play Dick Cheney,\u2019 and I\u2019d say \u2018there\u2019s a little Cheney in all of us.\u2019\u201d\nHe grinned impishly, and we realized we hadn\u2019t yet talked about the festival opening film Cas & Dylan, the Canadian road movie about a dying doctor (Dreyfuss) who befriends a rootless young woman (Tatiana Maslany, the fast-rising star of TV\u2019s Orphan Black).\nDreyfuss, unusually, was briefly speechless about his co-star.\n\u201cTatiana is extraordinary and . . . she\u2019s absolutely fabulous and a delight to work with. When she\u2019s onscreen I disappear into black and white.\u201d\nThat\u2019s the final word from the guy who knew he was going to be a star."}

"https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/robert-campeau-from-backwoods-of-northern-ontario-to-owner-of-bloomingdales-dead-at-93", "orig_text": "Robert Campeau, from backwoods of Northern Ontario to owner of Bloomingdale\u2019s, dead at 93\nCampeau had been known for extravagant parties at his faux chateau in Toronto, but his ownership of Bloomingdale\u2019s elevated him to a new level of fame in New York\nRobert Campeau, the small-town boy who built up huge swaths of Ottawa before his business reach exceeded his grasp in the 1980s in a corporate battle that wiped out U.S. retailers Allied Stores and Federated, has died in an Ottawa hospital.\nHis family confirmed his death at age 93 on June 12 in Ottawa, but no cause was given.\nCampeau arrived in Ottawa in the 1950s from Chelmsford, Ont. near Sudbury, almost penniless with rudimentary English skills and a drive for success.\nIn the North, he was one of 14 siblings and he\u2019d quit school in the eighth grade to help support his family. He took odd jobs, ranging from deliveries to sweeping floors at Inco for 50 cents an hour.\nHe maintained that focus when he arrived in Ottawa with a new wife and child, taking any job that came up, including driving truck for a Gatineau paper mill and running a corner store to feed his family.\nBut all the time his focus was on something bigger. In the booming post-war \u201950s, Campeau quickly realized that housing for fast-growing families, like his own, was a no-fail proposition.\nMost stories about his entry into the real estate and development sector agree that Campeau\u2019s early days involved finding fixer-uppers, making them over and selling at a profit.\nEventually, he scraped together the capital for Elmvale Acres, building his first units on either side of Smyth Road in Ottawa. Gradually, the community spread north and south from there. His projects spread to the Pleasant Park neighbourhood and farther.\nSchools and churches followed the new homes, solidifying the communities.\nThe homes themselves were no-frills, $18,000 to $20,000 units built from templates to house a couple and 1.5 children.\nWhile the families were, for the most part, happy and proud with their new homes, there were those who found the projects less than appealing.\nIn one of their regular battles, former mayor Charlotte Whitten famously opined: \u201cWhen I look at his houses, I think perhaps nuclear bombardment might not be such a terrible thing after all.\u201d\nBut the formula was solid and Campeau leveraged successes into larger and larger projects.\nFrom suburban neighbourhoods, Campeau Corp.\u2019s attention turned to high-rises and, then, dramatically, in the 1960s he unveiled his blockbuster plan for the massive Place de Ville complex on Queen Street, with its 250-foot-tall main building, far in excess of the height permitted downtown under the existing bylaw. The project got the city\u2019s approval.\nShortly afterward, when the National Capital Commission unveiled its plans for Place du Portage and, later, Les Terrasses de la Chaudi\u00e8re in Hull, Campeau Corp. was the major contractor for both.\nCampeau had made his fortune in Canada when he learned in 1985 that Edward S. Finkelstein, the chairman of R.H. Macy & Co., was considering raising debt to buy the department store chain from its shareholders.\nCampeau, who by then had started building in the United States, saw an opportunity and tried to set up a meeting with Finkelstein to see whether he could participate in the venture. He was rebuffed. But the rejection was a spur: Ever the risk-taker, he decided to build a department store conglomerate on his own, even though he had no background in retailing.\nFor advice, he turned to Bruce Wasserstein, a Wall Street investment banker who had helped turn hostile takeovers, funded by high interest rate debt, into a hallmark of the 1980s. Campeau proceeded to spend $3.6 billion, nearly all of it debt, to buy retail conglomerate Allied Stores in 1986. Its 750 outlets included Brooks Brothers, Ann Taylor, Bonwit Teller and many regional department stores.\nIn his book \u201cGoing for Broke: How Robert Campeau Bankrupted the Retail Industry, Jolted the Junk Bond Market, and Brought the Booming Eighties to a Crashing Halt\u201d (1991), John Rothchild wrote that after Campeau had agreed to buy Allied, it became apparent that he did not have enough money to cover the down payment.\nBut the Allied purchase was only the beginning. Campeau next found himself battling Finkelstein for control of Federated Department Stores, the jewel of which was Bloomingdale\u2019s. Federated\u2019s directors favored selling the company to Macy\u2019s, but Campeau continued to raise his bid to win over investors.\nTo end the bidding war, Finkelstein eventually invited Campeau to his townhouse in Manhattan. (Campeau also had a home in Manhattan, as well as one in Florida and one in Toronto.) Campeau emerged the winner, paying $6.6 billion for Federated and adding it to his empire.\nHe had never been a shy man; in Toronto he had been known for giving extravagant parties at the faux French chateau he built. But his ownership of Bloomingdale\u2019s, considered the most glamorous department store in New York at the time, elevated him to a new level of fame. For a time, he and his second wife, the former Ilse Luebbert, became fixtures of New York society. Chatelaine, a Canadian women\u2019s magazine, declared him to be one of Canada\u2019s 10 sexiest men. (His son Daniel, then a race car driver sponsored by the Campeau company, also made the list.)\nTo bring down his debt, Campeau sold off assets, including Brooks Brothers and Ann Taylor. But that proved not to be enough. By 1989, he had been forced to sell a large portion of his company for $250 million to the Reichmann family, Toronto real estate developers who were as private as Campeau was flamboyant. Early in 1990, Federated and Allied filed for bankruptcy.\n(Federated later merged with Allied and rebounded and expanded in the 1990s, acquiring Macy\u2019s, among other companies.)\nAfter the Federated failure, Campeau mostly fell from public sight, reappearing briefly with deals in Germany and Austria, as well as other ventures.\nCampeau had a complex personal life. There were several publicized bouts with mental illness. While raising three children with his first wife, the former Clauda Leroux, a textile worker, Campeau had a covert relationship and a child with Luebbert before she became his second wife. She lived on a farm he had bought near Montreal, about two hours from Ottawa. When the arrangement was discovered, he and his wife divorced. She died in 1980.\nCampeau and his second wife separated in 1996. By then, he had transferred most of his assets to her, and after they split up, leading to a divorce, he sued her for support. A highly publicized legal struggle continued for years.\nIt is unclear when he returned to Ottawa or when he married for a third time, to Cristal Dettman, whom he had met in Berlin during his European exile. She survives him. His other survivors include, in addition to Daniel, his children, Rachelle, Jacques, Robert Jr., Giselle and Jan-Paul; five siblings and half-siblings, and eight grandchildren.\nCanadian news reports indicated that Campeau lived in rented townhouses after his return to Canada and had a relatively modest income until his divorce from Ilse Campeau was made final.\nBack in his glory days, however, he dismissed any suggestions that his approach to business might prove perilous.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the story of my life,\u201d he told The Times in 1988. \u201cWhen I built my first 10 houses, people said I would go broke. and I\u2019ve built thousands since.\n\u201cI like to take risks.\u201d\nThe family will receive well-wishers at Notre Dame Cathedral on Sussex Drive from 9-10 a.m. on Thursday, June 22, followed by a funeral mass at 10 a.m. Interment will be at 2 p.m. at St. Isidore Cemetery on March Road in Kanata."}

on his own, but he should never be free of the system\nMental health advocates would probably argue that it would be unfair to subject someone like Li to monitoring for the rest of his life. And they\u2019d be absolutely right \u2014 it is unfair. But nothing about mental illness is fair\nArticle content\nWhen Vince Li stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized 22-year-old Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus in July 2008, he unknowingly signed the death certificate of another man at the scene: Cpl. Ken Barker of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who attended to the incident near Portage La Prairie, Man., that night and would never be able to scrape the monstrous image from his mind. Six years later, tortured by post-traumatic stress disorder, Cpl. Barker committed suicide in the basement of his Manitoba home.\nAdvertisement 2\nArticle content\nOther witnesses to the event would claim they had been permanently disabled by what they had seen, including two passengers who sued Greyhound for failing to provide adequate security that evening (the suit was dropped last year). Some witnesses developed agoraphobia, others turned to alcohol and drugs, and many struggled with their jobs, education and other responsibilities. Indeed, that any of them might be remotely functional today would be a miracle of modern psychiatry and/or human resiliency: seeing someone kill another person would have been traumatic in and of itself, but these people watched Li cut off a man\u2019s head, then dissect and eat parts of his body. \u201cHorrifying\u201d seems like a pitifully inadequate description.\ntap here to see other videos from our team.\nRobyn Urback: Vince Li should be allowed to live on his own, but he should never be free of the system Back to video\nBut now, nearly eight years later, the man who held the knife that night is well on his way to reintegrating back into society. Li was found not criminally responsible (NCR) in the death of McLean in 2009 and was moved into a secure psychiatric facility, where he received treatment for paranoid schizophrenia. Nine months ago, Li was allowed to move into a Winnipeg group home and subsequently change his name to \u201cWill Baker,\u201d as part of his reintegration plan. Now, thanks to a decision made by the Manitoba Criminal Code Review Thursday, he has been given the opportunity to soon start living on his own.\nEach step along Li\u2019s path to reintegration has been met with public protest, understandably, with people asking how this person \u2014 who just a few years ago committed such a heinous, inhuman act \u2014 could suddenly be allowed to shop at our grocery stores, take our buses and move into our neighbourhoods. What\u2019s more, though Li\u2019s treatment team insists that he shows no signs of psychosis, what happens if he decides to stop taking his medication?\nAdvertisement 3\nArticle content\nThese are not baseless concerns, especially considering that Li sought treatment for his illness before he went on to kill McLean. But the fact that a court of law \u2014 with evidence from two psychiatrists and on the recommendation of both the Crown and defence \u2014 found that Li\u2019s illness was responsible for his crime, and not Li himself, means it is unjust to continue punishing him when that illness is under control. It would be like if someone found himself beholden to a captor who took his hand, pressed a gun into his palm and forced his finger down on the trigger, executing a room of detainees. When that captor is no longer present, it makes no sense to continue punishing his pawn.\nThe concern, of course, is if that captor comes back. Under Canadian law, those who are found NCR are generally either detained in hospital, released on conditional discharge or released on an absolute discharge, meaning they are no longer subjected to regular monitoring. Li is at the conditional discharge stage: he will be allowed to live on his own, but will be subject to daily monitoring and will be required to complete regular drug tests. If the court eventually decides that Li \u201cdoes not pose a significant threat to the safety of the public,\u201d he will be given an absolute discharge and released from the system entirely.\nThe threat Li poses while monitored, on his medication, is entirely different from that which he poses if he should decide to throw away his pills\nThis is where the issue of individual freedom vs. public safety becomes more complicated. Yes, the rates of recidivism among those found NCR are much lower than those who are found guilty, sent to prison and subsequently released. And yes, it would be unjust to continue punishing Li because of something he did while he was ill. But the threat he poses while monitored, on his medication, is entirely different from that which he poses if he should decide to throw away his pills. What happens then?\nAdvertisement 4\nArticle content\n[np_storybar title=\u201dRead & Debate\u201d link=\u201d\u201d]Find Full Comment on Facebook\n[/np_storybar]\nMental health advocates would probably argue that it would be unfair to subject someone like Li to monitoring for the rest of his life. And they\u2019d be absolutely right \u2014 it is unfair. But nothing about mental illness is fair: it\u2019s not fair that Li happened to be struck with paranoid schizophrenia and will have to take medication every single day for the rest of his life, it\u2019s not fair that everyone on the Greyhound that night will be forever plagued by what they witnessed and, most of all, it\u2019s unfair that Tim McLean lost his life in such a horrific way, and that his family has been left to pick up the pieces.\nLi doesn\u2019t deserve to be indefinitely punished for something that was beyond his control, but at the same time, he shouldn\u2019t be entirely free of the system precisely because of what he\u2019s capable of when and if he loses control. It\u2019s an unfair, imperfect solution, but it\u2019s the best shot at justice \u2014 for everyone.\nNational Post\nRobyn Urback \u2022 rurback@nationalpost.com | robynurback"}

He isn't particularly charismatic. He isn't a particularly assertive vocalist.\nSo why was Saturday's concert by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers so satisfying for 16,000 fans at sold-out Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul?\nBecause the Heartbreakers are a first-rate band. Because Mike Campbell is a terrific guitarist. Because Petty has written and recorded so many songs that have become part of the classic-rock songbook.\nPeople like to party \u2014 especially on a Saturday night \u2014 to favorite songs with which they can sing along. People like to hoist a beer or two and sneak a toke or two. But a Petty party is a laid-back one.\nIf this concert on the Heartbreakers' 40th anniversary tour were a marathon, Petty and his band were jogging for, say, the first 20 miles and then it was a sprint to the finish. Mr. Midtempo didn't decide to rock until the homestretch.\nIt's a good thing he occasionally passed the baton \u2014 oops, sorry for mixing my running metaphors \u2014 to Campbell during every midtempo tune. Because every one of Campbell's turns was a winner.\nThe 67-year-old guitarist has a wide palette. Looking a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow dressed for a gangster-themed costume party, Campbell delivered some gorgeous chiming on \"Mary Jane's Last Dance,\" some pristine twang on \"You Don't Know How It Feels\" and some soaring Claptonesque purity on \"It's Good To Be King.\"\nCampbell, who seemed to have enough different instruments with him to stock a guitar shop, played elegant fills on a Mandocaster on \"Learning To Fly,\" and he flexed his rock muscles on the laceratingly melodic \"Refugee\" and the blues-rock scorcher \"Runnin' Down a Dream.\" His swampy bent blues passages on \"I Should Have Known It\" confirmed that he hasn't forgotten his Florida roots despite more than four decades in Los Angeles.\nThe mad dash of rockers ranked as the night's high points, with the standouts being the snarling \"Refugee,\" the jangly punkish \"American Girl\" and the cookin' \"You Wreck Me,\" which featured keyboardist Benmont Tench's only solo of the night and Petty's most genuine smile of the night. He was really into it.\nFor two hours, Petty, 66, asserted himself once again as one of the more exciting statues in rock. He was less animated than in the past (not many of those grand arm gestures or even a little shimmy) but more talkative. He gave short introductions to selections such as the night's first number, \"Rockin' Around (With You),\" the first track on the band's first album. But his reactions after songs seemed ingratiating and forced.\nAs for Petty's voice, it's still solid, though he let the crowd sing the high parts of \"Free Fallin',\" and he relied on the voices of the Webb Sisters, two new additions for this tour, to bolster his higher register.\nThe repertoire was heavy on hits but featured several songs from Petty solo albums and a few lesser known Heartbreakers tunes. Missing were some biggies, such as \"Breakdown\" and \"The Waiting,\" and a longed-for jam with opening act Joe Walsh, a guitar hero in his own right.\nA lovable lunatic, Walsh, 69, is a character onstage with a caricature of a voice. But he can play guitar, as he demonstrated on the moody \"Turn To Stone,\" the James Gang's heavy rocker \"Funk #49\" and the gracefully expressive \"Rocky Mountain Way.\" No two songs showcased his personality better than the self-deprecating \"Ordinary Average Guy\" (who bowls and takes out the garbage) and his big 1978 hit \"Life's Been Good\" (about driving a Maserati and living the rock-star life)."}

coming-of-age story\nThe annual revelry of the running of the bulls dates back to the 14th century and mozos is the term given to the masters who face being gored or even killed in their attempt to run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. This is a fitting title for a gritty personal memoir by author Bill Hillmann. Mozos: A Decade Running with the Bulls of Spain, is a fast-paced tale of Hillmann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own coming-of-age as well as his fascination with the ancient art of running with the bulls. When he was just 23 years old, Hillmann traveled to Spain to take part in the weeklong San Fermin festival of the running of the bulls, and he instantly fell in love with the skill and artistry of this time-honored, daredevil tradition.\nInspired by Ernest Hemingway\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The Sun Also Rises, Hillmann recounts his personal journey of self-discovery as well as his progress as a writer in a straightforward, conversational tone. Told in dramatic narratives that have been gleamed from over a decade of running with the bulls, this sprawling memoir takes readers from the dark streets of Chicago to the roadways of Pamplona in a thrilling and, at times, terrifying account of personal growth and transformation.\nHillmann is the award-winning author of The Old Neighborhood, declared \u00e2\u20ac\u015bBest Novel of 2014\u00e2\u20ac\u0165 by the Chicago Sun-Times. Hillmann has written for numerous publications, including Playboy and The Washington Post. His commentary on running with the bulls has been featured in Esquire and Outside Magazine. Hillmann also stars in Chasing Red, a new documentary about his experiences. Hillmann will appear at Boswell Book Co. at 5:30 p.m., Monday, July 27 for a book discussion and signing followed by a 7 p.m. ticketed screening of Chasing Red at the Landmark Oriental Theatre (2230 N. Farwell Ave.).\nBook Happening:\nElizabeth Ridley\nMartha Merrell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Books\n231 W. Main St., Waukesha\n6:30 p.m., July 23\nDeclared by The Advocate as one of their \u00e2\u20ac\u015b15 Best LGBT Summer Reads,\u00e2\u20ac\u0165 Searching for Celia is a thrilling mystery that questions how well we can ever know another person. Author Elizabeth Ridley, a Milwaukee native, has written a captivating novel that explores the complexities of our personal relationships through her portrayal of Dayle, a 30-something novelist from Wisconsin who travels to London for business only to learn that her friend and former partner has died under mysterious circumstances. As Dayle undertakes a search for the truth, she comes up against dramatic personalities and unforeseen obstacles. Ridley, the 2011 recipient of a Literary Artist Fellowship from the Wisconsin Arts Board, will host a book launch event at Martha Merrell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Books in Waukesha, 6:30 p.m., Thursday, July 23."}

daily coronavirus infections and deaths hovered near all-time highs Monday amid sluggish vaccination rates and the Kremlin's reluctance to toughen restrictions.\nRussia's state coronavirus task force reported 29,409 new confirmed cases -- the highest number this year and just slightly lower than the pandemic record reached in December.\nAfter registering the highest daily death toll since the start of the pandemic at 968 over the weekend, Russia reported 957 new deaths on Monday.\nRussia already has Europe's highest death toll in the pandemic -- more than 217,000, according to a government task force. The state statistics agency, which uses a different way of counting including when the virus wasn't considered the main cause of death, has reported about 418,000 deaths of people with COVID-19.\nA sharp rise in infections and deaths began last month with the government attributing it to a slow vaccination rate. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said Friday that 47.8 million Russians, or almost 33% of its nearly 146 million people, had received at least one shot of a coronavirus vaccine, and 42.4 million, or about 29%, were fully vaccinated.\nKremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov voiced concerns about the surge in infections and deaths and noted that hospitals in some regions are close to capacity.\n\"The vaccination level we have is too low, impermissibly low,\" Peskov said in a conference call with reporters. \"That is why we have mortality numbers that are so high. We are using every opportunity to make a simple call on all citizens -- go ahead and get the shot.\"\nWhile deploring Russia's lagging pace of vaccinations, Peskov rejected the idea of imposing fines on those who fail to get the vaccine and emphasized that it's up to regional authorities to decide whether to tighten local coronavirus restrictions.\nRussian President Vladimir Putin says he has been vaccinated with domestically-designed Sputnik V vaccine and he spent two weeks in self-isolation last month after some of his close aides tested positive for COVID-19.\nPutin later hailed the efficiency of Sputnik V, saying that he didn't contract the virus even though he worked closely for an entire day with an aide who got infected.\nSpeaking Monday during a call with top officials, Putin had an occasional cough. When an obsequious speaker of the upper house of parliament enquired about his condition during a later video call, the 69-year-old Russian leader said he was feeling fine.\n\"Don't worry, everything is fine,\" Putin said. \"I undergo tests practically on daily basis and not just for COVID-19 but other infections as well. It was simply cold outside and I moved a bit more energetically, there is nothing horrible.\"\nSome Russian regions have limited attendance at large public events and restricted access to theaters, restaurants and other places to people who have been vaccinated, recently recovered from COVID-19 or tested negative in the previous 72 hours.\nHowever, life remains largely normal in Moscow, St. Petersburg and many other Russian cities, with businesses operating as usual and mask mandates loosely enforced. On Monday, authorities in Moscow announced the expansion of free coronavirus tests in shopping malls, saying it should help stem contagion.\nOverall, Russia's coronavirus task force has registered over 7.8 million confirmed cases and 217,372 deaths. However, reports by Russia's state statistical service Rosstat that tally coronavirus-linked deaths retroactively reveal significantly higher mortality numbers.\nRosstat on Friday said coronavirus mortality data showed more than 254,000 deaths of people with COVID-19 in the first eight months of this year compared to over 163,000 deaths of virus patients for all of 2020.\nUnlike the coronavirus task force, which that only counts deaths where COVID-19 was the main cause, Rosstat also tallies those who had COVID-19 but died of other causes, and those for whom the virus was suspected but not confirmed.\nMORE HEALTH NEWS\nCOVID-19 COVERAGE\nCTVNews.ca Top Stories\nCanada easing some COVID-19 border rules for children and those fully vaccinated\nStarting Monday, some of Canada's pandemic border restrictions are being eased for those who are fully vaccinated and for children regardless of their vaccination status.\nFormer RBC bank manager, three others accused in alleged $10-million Ont. bank loan scheme\nFour people have been charged following a year-long investigation into a multi-million-dollar fraudulent loan scheme in the Greater Toronto Area.\nCalgary police help confirm identity of 'Happy Face Killer' murder victim\nThe victim of a grisly murder in the United States nearly 30 years ago has now been identified thanks in part to advancements in DNA technology and Calgary Police Service members.\nRussian troops use rape as 'instrument of war' in Ukraine, rights groups say\nUkrainian officials say Russian forces have been sexually abusing women, children and men since the invasion began.\nHabs legend Guy Lafleur has died at age 70\nMontreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur has died at the age of 70.

"https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/russia-s-richest-businessman-tells-putin-don-t-take-us-back-to-1917-1.5815378", "orig_text": "Russia's richest businessman tells Putin: Don't take us back to 1917\nRussia's richest businessman has warned the Kremlin against confiscating assets of companies that have fled in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, saying such a step would set the country back more than 100 years.\nVladimir Potanin, president of metals giant Norilsk Nickel and its biggest shareholder, said that Russia risked returning to the tumultuous days of the 1917 revolution if it slammed the door on Western companies and investors. He urged the Russian government to proceed with extreme caution regarding the seizure of assets.\n\"Firstly, it would take us back a hundred years, to 1917, and the consequences of such a step \u2014 global distrust of Russia on the part of investors \u2014 we would experience for many decades,\" he said in a message posted on Norilsk Nickel's Telegram account on Thursday.\n\"Secondly, the decision of many companies to suspend operations in Russia is, I would say, somewhat emotional in nature and may have been taken as a result of unprecedented pressure on them from public opinion abroad. So most likely they will come back. And personally, I would keep such an opportunity for them,\" he added.\nPotanin is Russia's wealthiest billionaire and still worth about $22.5 billion, according to Bloomberg, despite losing about a quarter of his fortune this year as shares in Norilsk Nickel crashed. The company's shares lost more than 90% in London trading before they were suspended this month, despite soaring prices for its commodities.\nNorilsk Nickel is the world's largest producer of palladium and high-grade nickel, as well as a major producer of platinum and copper. The company and its primary products have escaped punishing sanctions imposed by Western countries that have slammed the Russian economy.\nDozens of American, European and Japanese companies have abandoned joint ventures, factories, stores, offices and other assets in the past two weeks in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions. They were joined by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan on Thursday, the first major Western banks to announce they will quit Russia completely since the crisis erupted in February.\nRussian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he backed a plan to introduce \"external management\" of foreign companies leaving Russia.\n\"We need to act decisively with those [companies] who are going to close their production,\" Putin said according to a video posted by the Kremlin and aired on state media. \"It is necessary, then ... to introduce external management and then transfer these enterprises to those who want to work,\" he added.\nRussia's consumer rights organization has drawn up a list of companies that have decided to leave and could be nationalized, according to a report in Russian newspaper Izvestiya later cited by state news agency TASS.\nThe document that was reportedly sent to the Russian government and the Prosecutor General's Office, includes 59 companies, including Volkswagen, Apple, IKEA, Microsoft, IBM, Shell, McDonald's, Porsche, Toyota, H&M, and can be updated with more brands, Izvestiya said.\nPotanin said it wasn't particularly expedient to talk about nationalizing Western assets, but the Kremlin's proposal could allow \"owners to keep property, and companies to avoid collapse, continue to produce products and pay money to employees.\"\n\"I understand that in light of the economic restrictions directed against Russia, there may be an understandable desire to act symmetrically,\" he wrote. \"But on the example of Western countries, we see that the economies of these countries suffer from the imposition of sanctions against Russia. We must be wiser and avoid a scenario where retaliatory sanctions hit ourselves.\"\nHe also called for Russia to ease restrictions on foreign currency so that interest could be paid on foreign bonds and loans. Otherwise, there was a risk the country could default on its entire external debt, which he estimated at about $480 billion."}

banned Facebook and Instagram on Monday for what it deemed extremist activity in a case against their parent company, Meta.\nThe Tverskoy District Court fulfilled a request from prosecutors to outlaw

The authorities also emphasized that they do not intend to punish individual Russians who use Facebook or Instagram.\nInstagram and Facebook were already blocked in Russia after the country's communications and media regulator Roskomnadzor said they were being used to call for violence against Russian soldiers. In addition to blocking Facebook and Instagram, Russian authorities also have shut access to foreign media websites, including BBC, the U.S. government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle and Latvia-based website Meduza.\nContinuing the effort, Roskomnadzor on Monday blocked the website of Euronews, a European news network. The regulator has also cut Euronews broadcasts.\nThe court's verdict comes amid multipronged efforts by Russian authorities to control the message about Russia's military action in Ukraine, which the Kremlin describes as a \"special military operation\" intended to uproot alleged \"neo-Nazi nationalists.\"\nA new law fast-tracked on March 4 by the Kremlin-controlled parliament, a week after Russia launched the attack on Ukraine, envisions prison terms of up to 15 years for posting \"fake\" information about the military that differs from the official narrative.\nGet in touch\nDo you have both Ukrainian and Russian family members?

Russian regulators approved the country's own coronavirus vaccine, it was a moment of national pride, and the Pavlov family was among those who rushed to take the injection.\nBut international health authorities have not yet given their blessing to the Sputnik V shot.\nSo when the family from Rostov-on-Don wanted to visit the West, they looked for a vaccine that would allow them to travel freely -- a quest that brought them to Serbia, where hundreds of Russian citizens have flocked in recent weeks to receive Western-approved COVID-19 shots.\nSerbia, which is not a member of the European Union, is a convenient choice for vaccine-seeking Russians because they can enter the allied Balkan nation without visas and because it offers a wide choice of Western-made shots.\nOrganized tours for Russians have soared, and they can be spotted in the capital, Belgrade, at hotels, restaurants, bars and vaccination clinics.\n\"We took the Pfizer vaccine because we want to travel around the world,\" Nadezhda Pavlova, 54, said after receiving the vaccine last weekend at a sprawling Belgrade vaccination center.\nHer husband, Vitaly Pavlov, 55, said he wanted \"the whole world to be open to us rather than just a few countries.\"\nVaccination tour packages for Russians seeking shots endorsed by the World Health Organization appeared on the market in mid-September, according to Russia's Association of Tour Operators.\nMaya Lomidze, the group's executive director, said prices start at $300 to $700, depending on what's included.\nLauded by Russian President Vladimir Putin as world's first registered COVID-19 vaccine, Sputnik V emerged in August 2020 and has been approved in some 70 countries, including Serbia.\nBut the WHO has said global approval is still under review after citing issues at a production plant a few months ago.\nOn Friday, a top World Health Organization official said legal issues holding up the review of Sputnik V were \"about to be sorted out,\" a step that could relaunch the process toward emergency use authorization.\nOther hurdles remain for the Russian application, including a lack of full scientific information and inspections of manufacturing sites, said Dr. Mariangela Simao, a WHO assistant director-general.\nApart from the WHO, Sputnik V is also still awaiting approval from the European Medicines Agency before all travel limitations can be lifted for people vaccinated with the Russian formula.\nThe long wait has frustrated many Russians, so when the WHO announced yet another delay in September, they started looking for solutions elsewhere.\n\"People don't want to wait; people need to be able to get into Europe for various personal reasons,\" explained Anna Filatovskaya, Russky Express tour agency spokeswoman in Moscow. \"Some have relatives. Some have business, some study, some work. Some simply want to go to Europe because they miss it.\"\nSerbia, a fellow-Orthodox Christian and Slavic nation, offers the Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Chinese Sinopharm shots.\nBy popular demand, Russian tourist agencies are now also offering tours to Croatia, where tourists can receive the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, without the need to return for a second dose.\n\"For Serbia, the demand has been growing like an avalanche,\" Filatovskaya said. \"It's as if all our company is doing these days is selling tours for Serbia.\"\nThe Balkan nation introduced vaccination for foreigners in August, when the vaccination drive inside the country slowed after reaching around 50 per cent of the adult population.\nOfficial Serbian government data shows that nearly 160,000 foreign citizens so far have been vaccinated in the country, but it is unclear how many are Russians.\nIn Russia, the country's vaccination rate has been low. By this week, almost 33 per cent of Russia's 146 million people have received at least one shot of a coronavirus vaccine, and 29 per cent were fully vaccinated.\nApart from Sputnik V and a one-dose version known as Sputnik Light, Russia has also used two other domestically designed vaccines that have not been internationally approved.\nRussian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko recently said administrative issues were among the main holdups in the WHO's review process.\nJudy Twigg, a political science professor specializing in global health at Virginia Commonwealth University, expects Sputnik V to be approved eventually, but \"maybe not by the end of this year.\"\n\"The WHO has said that it needs more data, and it needs to go back and inspect some production lines where it saw issues early on.

Justin Trudeau\u2019s Liberals get elected on a frothy promise of \"real change.\" I felt hopeful we would finally get it right on climate.\nOnce back in Canada, however, and with less fanfare, Trudeau announced that his own targets and timelines to fight climate change would, in fact, be those of his much-maligned predecessor, Stephen Harper.\nOh, and he never managed to meet even those.\nAt the end of last year, Trudeau announced a bold, marvellous new climate plan. Only problem is, nothing has come of it yet. On April 22, Earth Day, he joined Biden and other leaders and, needing something to say, started outbidding himself. Nothing really new, just more ambitious targets. And he\u2019s promising to get it done by 2050, when he\u2019ll be 79 years old.\nIn the six years he\u2019s been in power, Trudeau has seen GHGs increase every year and, yes, we do have the worst record of G7 countries. Hey, we were the first country to withdraw from the Kyoto Accord, might as well stick with a winning formula.\nThat Liberal formula on climate change has been to pose, preen, position and posture, then purchase a pipeline.\nTrudeau solemnly promised Canadians and our international partners that he would stop subsidizing oil and gas companies. He\u2019s still doing it to this day.\nCanadians seem less upset to have Liberals mess up our international obligations than Conservatives. Harper called Kyoto a socialist scheme. Trudeau embraced it. The result for future generations, however, will be the same in both cases: Canada has been a laggard on climate under both Liberal and Conservative governments.\n'Vapourware' is a term coined a generation ago in the information technology sector. It refers to an announced change made to attract attention and distract from competitors that is based on\u2026nothing. Hot air, in the 'vapour' reference.\nTrudeau is trying to hold onto his Liberal vote. He fights back hard when the Greens or the NDP point out the total absence of results from six years of announcements. He talks about experts who think he\u2019s finally got it right.\nProblem is, of course, that that Liberal formula wasn\u2019t invented by Trudeau. It was invented two decades ago by Jean Chr\u00e9tien, when he had Parliament ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Canada then went on to have one of the worst records in the world for greenhouse gas increases.\nAs Chr\u00e9tien\u2019s former Chief of staff Eddie Goldenberg later put it, signing Kyoto was all about galvanizing public opinion, not meeting our Kyoto target. He candidly admitted they had no plan for that.\nThat obligation was to reduce Canada\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions by 6% from 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. They in fact increased by over 30%.\nThe trick for the Liberals has always been to say the right thing on climate and to use climate change as a political communications tool.\nIt\u2019s easy to understand. To Bay Street, the Liberals are friendly figures who can be counted upon to do the right thing, in this case continue to allow unbridled growth in the oil and gas sector while talking a good game in order to get elected.\nThe Canadian voting public really cares about the environment and climate change. The ability of the Liberals to explain away their recurring failure may be about to hit a brick wall. Canadians wanted action and voted Liberal. All they got was announcements of plans and more announcements, not results.\nVoters for whom sustainable development is a key issue, younger voters in particular, can see past the Liberal smokescreen on climate change. They\u2019re not going to be conned again.\nWith a race too close to call, the final week of campaigning will concentrate on the largest cities where voters may be susceptible to the classic Liberal siren song not to 'split the vote.' That often works against the Conservative bogeyman.\nThe Liberals may have gone to that well one time too often, though. Singh appears to be holding onto his votes and is poised for a breakthrough in the GTA. Annamie Paul impressed many with her deep understanding of environmental issues during the debates. Both will be seeking to convince and inspire voters who worry about the type of planet we will leave to our children and grandchildren.\nFor once, Liberal vapourware may not be enough.\nTom Mulcair was the former leader of the federal New Democratic Party of Canada between 2012 and 2017."}

"orig_text": "SAINT-SAUVEUR, QUEBEC --\nJean Chretien hit the nail on the head when he described the major shortcoming of Justin Trudeau\u2019s reign: lots of good ideas that are well communicated but no experience to actually get things done.\nTrudeau was confident of a majority win when he called last month\u2019s election. He once again had many proposals, after all, even if they rarely became reality.\nCanadian voters let him know that just talking about good plans wasn\u2019t enough. They expected results. That Trudeau was only able to achieve a minority government was a reflection of that dissatisfaction.\nPutting together his new cabinet was Trudeau\u2019s first opportunity to show that he understood the message that Canadians sent him during the last two elections.\nMuch to his credit, he decided to make major changes that should stand him in good stead as his third government rolls out.\nHe had made bold promises on the key issue of climate change. During the campaign his team had convinced several credible voices to chime in to say that despite buying a pipeline, Trudeau deserved a chance to put his climate plan into effect.\nCanada has one of the worst records in the world for per capita GHG production and the worst record of the G7 since the signing of the Paris Accord. We are consistent outliers although we talk a good game.\nSteven Guilbeault is one of the best-known Canadian environmentalists. Internationally, he is widely respected. Instead of getting named environment minister, as everyone had expected, since 2019 he\u2019d been left to languish in the Heritage file. Trudeau appeared to have concluded that Guilbeault\u2019s activist past would be a bit too much for the oil patch and for Bay Street.\nBy keeping Jonathan Wilkinson in charge of natural resources, Trudeau is hoping to have his cake and eat it too. He\u2019ll have Guilbeault as cover when he talks in Glasgow and Wilkinson as cover when he talks in Calgary.\nTrudeau benefited from the implosion of the Greens and managed to convince many NDP-leaning progressives to give him another chance on climate.\nThe only thing that will matter to environmentally conscious voters at the next election is the result. That\u2019s an easily measured fact, not a slogan. Trudeau won\u2019t get to plead \u201cI tried\u201d; effort alone won\u2019t get rewarded.\nIn putting together his cabinet, Trudeau wanted to finally exercise the full power he has to determine who\u2019s in and who\u2019s out. He\u2019s the head of government and it showed. He brought in lots of new blood, rewarded top performers and even had the courage to boot out a few people who thought they were shoo-ins.\nIn doing so, he was sending a message to his whole team: it\u2019s not because you\u2019re a minister that you automatically get to stay as minister. Ask Marc Garneau.\nMany of the choices seem inspired and the whole exercise reflected a lot of thoughtful hard work. But it\u2019s on the environment front that Trudeau has shown the most determination we\u2019ve seen from him in a long time.\nPutting Guilbeault in charge of environment and climate change is a remarkable, inspired decision. I\u2019ve known Guilbeault for decades. He\u2019s going to get it done and if someone tries to hamper him, he\u2019ll know what to do. It\u2019s simply too important a file to leave to the whims of politics as usual.\nTrudeau\u2019s resolve to start getting it done is refreshing and welcome. Future generations will be thankful.\nTom Mulcair was the former leader of the federal New Democratic Party of Canada between 2012 and 2017."}

"orig_text": "SAINT-SAUVEUR, QUEBEC --\nToronto, Montr\u00e9al and Vancouver have just sent a message loud and clear: \u201cwe don\u2019t trust what was hiding behind the backdrop of Conservative Leader Erin O\u2019Toole\u201d.\nAll of Canada has just repeated a message sent loud and clear to Justin Trudeau two years ago: \u201cwe don\u2019t trust you with a majority\u201d.\nJagmeet Singh improved the NDP\u2019s performance and will not only live to fight another day, he will play a key role in propping up Trudeau\u2019s minority Liberals. What he gets in return will determine how his members view this new marriage of convenience.\nIn a summer of heat domes and uncontrolled forest fires, instead of breaking through, the unfortunate Green Party saw it\u2019s leader \u201close her deposit\u201d in Toronto Centre by polling under the required 10%. Elizabeth May is musing about returning as party leader, stifling any hope of renewal.\nThe Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois\u2019 Yves-Francois Blanchet saved the furniture. A misguided question from the \u201cmoderator\u201d in the English debate giving him much-needed oxygen. Trudeau performed admirably well in La Belle Province under the circumstances, having connected with many in his heartfelt rant against Blanchet, whom he admonished against claiming to be the only Quebecer in Ottawa.\nLegault\u2019s pretentious claim to be able to tell Quebecers not to vote Liberal became a lesson in humility for him. Good luck negotiating with Trudeau now.\nIn an exchange with a former Harper Cabinet minister in the wee hours after the election results were in, I asked simply: \u201cWhat happens to O\u2019Toole?\u201d.\nThe answer was a laconic: \u201cNot good\u201d.\nI know Erin O\u2019Toole. I have occasion to travel with him and learn a bit about the man. He\u2019s a good person. His resolve to haul the ideological right-wing of his party to the centre was heartfelt.\nO\u2019Toole did his best, in his early-morning speech, to scare his troops about the election he saw just over the 18-month horizon (no time to dump your leader, eh!?)\u2026\nI\u2019m not sure it\u2019s going to work any better for him than it did for Andrew Scheer who used that same argument to try to hold onto his job after his own defeat.\nO\u2019Toole had ignored his party\u2019s knuckle-draggers on climate and tried to finesse his way through on complex issues like gun control. As his reward, O\u2019Toole saw many \u201ctrue blue\u201d Conservatives drift towards Maxime Bernier\u2019s Looney Tunes fringe.\nWhen he pulled a full Scheer and went into hiding, ducking key interviews and refusing to answer on his erstwhile support for the catastrophic pandemic plan of Jason Kenney, the writing was on the wall. O\u2019Toole had won the first four weeks of the campaign but just couldn\u2019t find a way through the last one.\nThe NDP was true to its base in insisting that it would make the rich pay. As the campaign wound down, Singh made it clear that he was in fact auditioning for the role of \u201cconscience of Parliament.\" In the GTA, his hopes evaporated as Trudeau managed to convince \u201cProgressives\u201d that he was one of theirs, despite having bought a pipeline and breaking his key promise on democratic reform.\nThe \u201cdon\u2019t split the vote\u201d argument saved the day for Trudeau and allowed him to siphon off enough NDP votes in Canada\u2019s largest cities to shut out the Conservatives. There\u2019ll be a price to pay and it won\u2019t be cheap. Trudeau will have to resolve to work with the NDP that will come with a long list of demands to lock in their support.\nTrudeau will have to be wary of his own deep-seated reflex to try to run things in areas of pure provincial jurisdiction. During the campaign, he was busy determining salaries for orderlies and hiring doctors for the provinces! That is just not on with the premiers.\nSingh goes even further and wants to dictate to provinces the ownership structure of the daycare and long term care systems. If the goal is actually having these systems, then ideological preferences should come second. In Qu\u00e9bec, the only province with a full affordable childcare system, the private centres were included from the start and it allowed the whole thing to be put in place rapidly and efficiently. A generation later it still works.\nNo sense arguing about the colour of the carpet in your new house when you\u2019ve yet to buy a house but it\u2019s the type of fight for ideological purity the NDP likes, having never yet been in power federally. Lots of heart-to-heart discussions between Singh and Trudeau in store.\n\u201cVox Populi Vox Dei\u201d\u2026the voice of the people is the voice of God. That may be a bit high-sounding in this day and age but the people have again spoken and sent a chastened Trudeau back to his job with a stern warning: keep your promises and accept that you have to work with others.\nWe\u2019ll soon see whether he got the message.\nTom Mulcair was the former leader of the federal New Democratic Party of Canada between 2012 and 2017."}

for illegally selling guns or firearms-related items was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison and fined $4,000.\nRobert Jacaman Sr., 60, who owned Jacaman Guns and Ammo in Laredo, was featured in a San Antonio Express-News series last fall that focused on inspectors of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives \u2014 in light of a federal report that said some gun shops only were inspected once every five years.\nJacaman's store, like others on the border, was inspected far more frequently, but it took a long investigation by the ATF and Homeland Security Investigations to collect enough evidence to prosecute him.\nHis store is one of five to have been the subject of prosecution in South Texas in the past 15 years, records show.\nIn violation of the Arms Export Control Act, Jacaman sold tens of thousands of rounds of .223-caliber and 7.62 mm ammunition and numerous high-capacity rifle magazines \u2014 designed to fit AR-15-type and AK-47-type weapons \u2014 to operatives dispatched by the Zetas cartel, court records show.\nMany of those items were intercepted before reaching Mexico.\nJacaman pleaded guilty Jan. 28 and surrendered his federal firearms license. He no is longer a firearms dealer and, as a felon, is prohibited from possessing firearms, ammunition and destructive devices.\n\u201cToday's sentence is a direct result of the dedicated efforts of HSI, the U.S. attorney's office and our law enforcement partners in creating a safer community for the citizens of Laredo and the surrounding area,\u201d said Janice Ayala, special agent in charge of HSI in San Antonio, which also covers Laredo.\nAdded Robert Elder, special agent in charge of the ATF in Houston, which also covers San Antonio and Laredo: \u201cWhile 99 percent of federal firearms licensees abide by ATF regulations, it is paramount that we remain vigilant against the outlier who markets firearms illegally.\u201d\nJacaman admitted being in direct contact with Oswaldo Roberto Borrego-Ramos, 32, aka \u201cBaldo,\u201d of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.\nBorrego-Ramos told agents he was working for the Zetas and supplying them with firearms, ammo and accessories from various sources, including Jacaman.\nBorrego-Ramos, who's serving 78 months in prison for a pair of gun-smuggling cases, would send couriers to deliver cash to Jacaman and others to pick up the items to smuggle them into Mexico.\nAlso sentenced Tuesday were Atanacio \u201cNone\u201d Gonzalez-Torres, 45, and Jose Luis Estrada, 25, who also had pleaded guilty for their roles in the smuggling conspiracy. Gonzales-Torres got 28 months in prison, while Estrada was sentenced to 21 months in prison.\nJacaman's wife, Veronica Jacaman, 43, pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge of failure to record a firearm transaction by a firearms dealer. She will serve six months and pay a $1,000 fine.\ngcontreras@express-news.net"}

The entrance will have a steel door outfitted with a combination lock and a screen door.\n\"The main security door will open inward. The screen door will open outward. And when you open the window and the main door you can have flow through ventilation nicely,\" Thometz said.\nBy November, 25 containers will be on the Sand Island site, where paving is being completed and lighting has been installed.\n\"We're waiting for Hawaiian Electric Company to tap in the high voltage line, install the riser power cable, and install the transformer,\" Department of Facility Maintenance deputy director Ed Manglallan said.\nDrywall partitions will divide the containers into two or three units. Walls will be insulated and painted and vinyl floors will go down.\n\"Outside then we're going to paint it, put roof coating which cuts down heat gain and protects the roof from leaks,\" Thometz said.\nA roof tent will connect the containers, provide shade, and help cool the units.\n\"Between the insulated interior walls and roof coating and the shade cloth, we're going to have some very comfortable units,\" Thometz said.\nContainer Storage is getting paid about $500,000 to transform the containers into modular dwellings, then deliver and install them. The first two will be finished in a week or two.\nCopyright 2015 Hawaii News Now. All rights reserved."}

News\n- A House committee will hold a public hearing Monday on a bill to allow the use of medical marijuana in South Carolina. A small group of House members made a few changes in the lengthy bill passed in February by the full Senate on a 28-15 vote. One amendment cleaned up the grammar and a few typos in the bill which senators considered more than 60 changes over seven days of debate. A second change restores some podiatrists with extra training to the list of doctors who can prescribe medical marijuana. There was little discussion of the bill Thursday. Much of that is expected for the meeting Monday morning by the full House Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee.\n- One student at Tanglewood Middle School died in the shootingThursday. Police reported no other injuries\n- The South Carolina Senate has given key approval to a bill that would allow some poorer or disabled students taxpayer money to attend a private school or a public school outside their district. The 25-15 vote late Wednesday overcomes a big hurdle that advocates for school choice and vouchers have been trying to top in the state for nearly two decades. After one more routine vote, the bill goes to the House, which has been more agreeable to the idea in the past. The bill provides up to $6,000 in state money each year and is limited to students whose family income is low enough to make them eligible for Medicaid and students who have disabilities.\n- Florida and 20 other states (including South Caroliona) have sued to halt the federal government's pandemic requirement that people wear masks on planes, trains and other public transport. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Tampa, Florida. It contends that the mask mandate exceeds the authority of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC rule took effect Feb. 1, 2021. It requires \"the wearing of masks by people on public transportation conveyances or on the premises of transportation hubs,\" according to the agency website. The rule has been relaxed somewhat but was recently extended until at least April 18 for domestic and international travel in general.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

This week conservative members of the Senate were able to pass a bill that school choice advocates have been pushing for years. The Education Scholarship Accounts bill allows parents with children who are Medicaid eligible or have special needs to apply for a state scholarship of six thousand dollars to attend a different public school, or a private or religious school. The so-called school voucher program would be limited to five thousand students in its\u2019 first year. Most public school supporters have resisted such a program for years saying it will deprive public schools of needed state funds.The bill passed with 25 Republican Senators voting for it, and 14 Democrats and one Republican voting no.

Memorial Day has unanimously passed the South Carolina Senate. The bill began as a proposal to add the Juneteenth celebration on June 19 as a new state holiday. But instead of adding a 14th holiday, the bill would create a floating holiday that workers could take on Confederate Memorial Day on May 10, for Juneteenth or any other day they choose. It is unclear if state offices would remain closed on Confederate Memorial Day. The bill now heads to the South Carolina House.\n- South Carolina Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mia McLeod has rolled out an agenda she says she hopes will advance opportunities for the state's Black population.

The grants are going to Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida; Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi; Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina; Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina; and Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina.\n- State health officials say drug overdose deaths in South Carolina increased by more than 50% after the COVID-19 pandemic started.

The state Department of Health and Environmental Control says 1,400 of those 2020 overdose deaths were caused by opioids and fentanyl was involved in 79 percent of those fatal opioid overdoses.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

fetal heartbeat law. The law would ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. South Carolina's law requires doctors to perform ultrasounds to check for fetal cardiac activity. Once activity is detected, the abortion can only be performed if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. Republican Gov. Henry McMaster signed the law last year, but it was immediately challenged in a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood. In its ruling Tuesday, a 3-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Mary Lewis, who suspended the law on its second day in effect.\n- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is appointing an attorney who has temporarily steered the state's struggling Department of Juvenile Justice to be the agency's next permanent leader.

The end of Pough's tenure was marked by a scathing state audit and dissatisfaction from lawmakers. Hendrick says she's worked to turn the agency around by changing up the leadership structure, refining hiring and retention practices and modernizing agency facilities that hold incarcerated youths.\n- The Bantu word 'ubuntu' conveys humanity and shared experience.

fetal heartbeat law. The law would ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. South Carolina's law requires doctors to perform ultrasounds to check for fetal cardiac activity. Once activity is detected, the abortion can only be performed if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. Republican Gov. Henry McMaster signed the law last year, but it was immediately challenged in a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood. In its ruling Tuesday, a 3-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Mary Lewis, who suspended the law on its second day in effect.\n- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is appointing an attorney who has temporarily steered the state's struggling Department of Juvenile Justice to be the agency's next permanent leader.

Hendrick has helmed the department in an acting role since September, when former director Freddie Pough stepped down. The end of Pough's tenure was marked by a scathing state audit and dissatisfaction from lawmakers. Hendrick says she's worked to turn the agency around by changing up the leadership structure, refining hiring and retention practices and modernizing agency facilities that hold incarcerated youths.\n- The Bantu word 'ubuntu' conveys humanity and shared experience.

Radio News\n- A judge in South Carolina set a $150,000 bond for a small-town police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a man who investigators said led her on a high-speed chase after running through a stop sign. Hemingway police officer Cassandra Dollard was released from jail less than two hours after the bond hearing. Investigators say Dollard shot Robert Junior Langley early Sunday as he tried to climb out the passenger door after crashing his car. Investigators sat Dollard told them she feared for her life, but also said she didn't see a weapon in Langley's hands. State records show Langley has worked for six police agencies since 1994 and has been fired twice.\n- An arrest warrant states that marijuana was involved in a deadly South Carolina crash in which a former \"American Idol\" contestant has been charged with driving under the influence. Authorities say 17-year-old Caleb Kennedy ran over a man with his pickup truck Tuesday after driving up a residential driveway in Spartanburg County. A prosecutor said in court Wednesday that Kennedy told deputies after the crash that he had taken a \"deep draw\" from a vaping device and felt its effects while driving. Kennedy's lawyer called it a \"terrible accident\" and said no alcohol was involved. The warrant is the first indication that marijuana is part of the prosecution's felony charge.\n- A court has allowed federally funded family planning clinics to continue to make abortion referrals for now. The decision Tuesday was a setback for a dozen Republican attorneys general who are seeking to restore a Trump-era ban on the practice.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the new Department of Health and Human Services regulations for the Title X family planning program can remain in place during the states' challenge. The changes returned the program to how it ran under the Obama administration.\n- The nine-banded armadillo can now be found in all 46 counties of the Palmetto State.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

said led her on a high-speed chase after running through a stop sign. Hemingway police officer Cassandra Dollard was released from jail less than two hours after the bond hearing. Investigators say Dollard shot Robert Junior Langley early Sunday as he tried to climb out the passenger door after crashing his car. Investigators sat Dollard told them she feared for her life, but also said she didn't see a weapon in Langley's hands. State records show Langley has worked for six police agencies since 1994 and has been fired twice.\n- An arrest warrant states that marijuana was involved in a deadly South Carolina crash in which a former \"American Idol\" contestant has been charged with driving under the influence. Authorities say 17-year-old Caleb Kennedy ran over a man with his pickup truck Tuesday after driving up a residential driveway in Spartanburg County. A prosecutor said in court Wednesday that Kennedy told deputies after the crash that he had taken a \"deep draw\" from a vaping device and felt its effects while driving. Kennedy's lawyer called it a \"terrible accident\" and said no alcohol was involved. The warrant is the first indication that marijuana is part of the prosecution's felony charge.\n- A court has allowed federally funded family planning clinics to continue to make abortion referrals for now. The decision Tuesday was a setback for a dozen Republican attorneys general who are seeking to restore a Trump-era ban on the practice.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the new Department of Health and Human Services regulations for the Title X family planning program can remain in place during the states' challenge. The changes returned the program to how it ran under the Obama administration.\n- The nine-banded armadillo can now be found in all 46 counties of the Palmetto State.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

proposal to fire all trustees from the University of South Carolina board has been put on a fast track by the South Carolina House. Tuesday's move came a week after a hearing where lawmakers didn't hide their anger about spending and what they felt is interference in daily affairs. House Speaker Jay Lucas introduced the bill and requested it skip committee and head directly to the House floor. The bill cuts the number of voting members from 20 to 13 and kicks all trustees off the board at the end of June 2023. It also redraws the districts for the trustees using U.S. House districts instead of judicial districts.\n- The South Carolina federal judge recently under consideration for a slot on the U.S. Supreme Court has received a top legal award from a trial lawyer group in her home state.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is visiting a historically Black university in South Carolina this week to tout what the Biden administration says is a commitment to funding nuclear engineering at such institutions. Officials tell The Associated Press Granholm will tour the nuclear engineering program at South Carolina State University, in Orangeburg. Granholm will visit the school Thursday along with U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who's an alumnus. The visit comes as President Joe Biden and other officials tout progress made in implementing the administration's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, following setbacks on voting rights and other economic efforts.\n- If President Joe Biden's search for a nominee to the Supreme Court could be summed up by a Help Wanted ad it might read: \"Seeking a well-respected liberal jurist.

Senators want to spend COVID relief money on roads, rural broadband and sewage and water plant improvements. The plan for plutonium spending would give Allendale, Barnwell and Aiken counties nearest the site $341 million and spread the rest of the money around the state. The plan now goes to the House.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

South Carolina. State officials said Friday that the former congressman and his wife registered to vote in South Carolina earlier this year. North Carolina officials removed Meadows from their lists this month after learning he'd voted in Virginia last year. The South Carolina registration was first reported by The Washington Post, which said Meadows' Virginia registration is still active.\n- The coroner in New Orleans says alcohol and fentanyl killed a student from South Carolina who was left at a hospital after watching parades and partying before Mardi Gras. A statement for Ciaya Whetstone's family says they are distraught that she \"may have been the victim of a spiked substance.\" The family's lawyers say they want information from police and Uber. The coroner says the 21-year-old student died about 7 a.m. on Feb. 19 at a hospital in eastern New Orleans. Her roommate told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate in February that after returning home via Uber, Whetstone said she was leaving with the driver to look for her car.\n- A stinky but handsome and widely popular landscape tree has become an aggressive invader. Callery pears create dense thickets that overwhelm native plants and bear four-inch spikes that can flatten tractor tires. Bradford pears and other ornamental Callery pears were cultivated from an import that saved pear orchards from a deadly fungus.

The sheriff said the officers were protecting themselves from potentially deadly violence.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

pass a hate crimes law. Democrats in the House gathered Tuesday to talk to reporters and put pressure on senators to act on a bill that adds penalties to violent crimes based on someone's motives. The House passed the bill in 2021, although it removed hate crime penalties for property crimes such as painting a swastika on a synagogue. Senate Republicans say police and prosecutors do a good job handling hate crimes without a separate law. If the bill doesn't pass this year, supporters will have to start all over again.\n- Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham say it'd be good if the person named to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer doesn't have an Ivy League degree. The bipartisan message from the South Carolina lawmakers aligns with the background of a South Carolina judge they've praised as a good candidate for the seat. Eight of the court's nine current members attended law school at Harvard or Yale. President Joe Biden has pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. Clyburn says Biden should be concerned about the court's lack of educational diversity, too.

pass a hate crimes law. Democrats in the House gathered Tuesday to talk to reporters and put pressure on senators to act on a bill that adds penalties to violent crimes based on someone's motives. The House passed the bill in 2021, although it removed hate crime penalties for property crimes such as painting a swastika on a synagogue. Senate Republicans say police and prosecutors do a good job handling hate crimes without a separate law. If the bill doesn't pass this year, supporters will have to start all over again.\n- Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham say it'd be good if the person named to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer doesn't have an Ivy League degree. The bipartisan message from the South Carolina lawmakers aligns with the background of a South Carolina judge they've praised as a good candidate for the seat. Eight of the court's nine current members attended law school at Harvard or Yale. President Joe Biden has pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. Clyburn says Biden should be concerned about the court's lack of educational diversity, too. Graham tells CBS \"It's OK\" to get your law degree at a public university.\n- The James Webb Space Telescope will enable scientists to detect energy from millions of years ago.\n- At Joe Biden's lowest moment in the 2020 campaign, influential Rep. Jim Clyburn suggested that Biden should pledge to put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. Biden made that promise at a Democratic debate, and Clyburn says that was key to turning out the Black support that helped Biden win the South Carolina primary and ultimately the White House. Two years later, the hoped-for vacancy on the court has arrived and Biden is standing by his pledge.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

the South Carolina Senate don't appear to be in any rush to make their state the 49th in the county to pass a hate crimes law. Democrats in the House gathered Tuesday to talk to reporters and put pressure on senators to act on a bill that adds penalties to violent crimes based on someone's motives. The House passed the bill in 2021, although it removed hate crime penalties for property crimes such as painting a swastika on a synagogue. Senate Republicans say police and prosecutors do a good job handling hate crimes without a separate law. If the bill doesn't pass this year, supporters will have to start all over again.\n- Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham say it'd be good if the person named to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer doesn't have an Ivy League degree. The bipartisan message from the South Carolina lawmakers aligns with the background of a South Carolina judge they've praised as a good candidate for the seat. Eight of the court's nine current members attended law school at Harvard or Yale. President Joe Biden has pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. Clyburn says Biden should be concerned about the court's lack of educational diversity, too. Graham tells CBS \"It's OK\" to get your law degree at a public university.\n- The James Webb Space Telescope will enable scientists to detect energy from millions of years ago.\n- At Joe Biden's lowest moment in the 2020 campaign, influential Rep. Jim Clyburn suggested that Biden should pledge to put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. Biden made that promise at a Democratic debate, and Clyburn says that was key to turning out the Black support that helped Biden win the South Carolina primary and ultimately the White House. Two years later, the hoped-for vacancy on the court has arrived and Biden is standing by his pledge.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

the ground near South Carolina's capital city. The U.S. Geological Survey says a 1.7-magnitude earthquake happened early Tuesday just east of Elgin. A slightly larger quake occurred eight hours later just a few miles away, That's more than two weeks after a larger convulsion and outside the window geologists typically expect for aftershocks. Those tremors were the 11th and 12th earthquakes in just a few square miles since a 3.3-magnitude quake on December 27.\n- Four activist groups are urging a South Carolina city to create an independent body to oversee efforts to reduce racial disparities in its police department. The recommendation for the city of North Charleston comes from Charleston Area Justice Ministry, the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Charleston's Black Lives Matter chapter and the American Civil Liberties Union. The Post and Courier reports that the groups say public oversight is needed as the city works to address findings of an audit.

Henry McMaster's suggestion for how South Carolina spends billions of extra dollars contains some familiar requests he hasn't got in his five years in office \u2014 like cutting income taxes. But the governor is sprinkling in some new proposals, such as $2,000 bonuses for school bus drivers, $3 million to expand election audits and $100 million to South Carolina's aging health lab. McMaster released his budget request Monday. The General Assembly controls what gets spent, but lawmakers have had a good relationship with the governor. At the top of McMaster's budget is cutting the income tax rate from 7% to 6% over five years, costing $177 million a year.\n- Prominent South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh is scheduled for a virtual hearing Monday as a judge could consider lowering the $7 million bond she set last month. Prosecutors have accused Murdaugh of stealing more than $6.2 million from clients by funneling the cash through a fraudulent bank account. His lawyers say Murdaugh has no money anymore and can't afford the $7 million bond. He's been jailed since his arrest in October, and a different judge in a civil suit froze his assets in November. Murdaugh's legal troubles began after his wife and son were found shot dead outside a family home last summer. Their killings are still unsolved.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

Carolina Supreme Court associate Justice Kaye Hearn has been elected to another six-year term. Hearn was one of more than three dozen judges put on the bench by the General Assembly on Wednesday. There were no contested races, but in several races at least a few House members and occasionally a few senators voted against the only candidate. Hearn, who became just the second woman ever on the state Supreme Court in 2010, won her latest term on a 122-13 vote. Lawmakers also voted for seats on the state Court of Appeals, Circuit Court and Family Court.\n- A school choice bill in South Carolina has lawmakers, teachers and school administrators mostly in agreement. The bill would require every school district in the state to offer some type of program to send children to a school outside their zoned areas. It also would allow children to go to a school in a different district. A Senate subcommittee rekindled the proposal at a meeting Wednesday. The bill puts some limits on choice \u2014 schools, classes and programs can't get overcrowded and choice students would have to find their own transportation. Senators in the subcommittee didn't vote on the bill Wednesday, saying they want to make some tweaks first.\n- The fact that Michelle Childs is under consideration to fill a Supreme Court vacancy comes as no surprise to some of her legal colleagues in South Carolina. The federal judge has emerged as a possible nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer as President Joe Biden seeks to fulfill his pledge to put a Black woman on the nation's highest court.

to another six-year term. Hearn was one of more than three dozen judges put on the bench by the General Assembly on Wednesday. There were no contested races, but in several races at least a few House members and occasionally a few senators voted against the only candidate. Hearn, who became just the second woman ever on the state Supreme Court in 2010, won her latest term on a 122-13 vote. Lawmakers also voted for seats on the state Court of Appeals, Circuit Court and Family Court.\n- A school choice bill in South Carolina has lawmakers, teachers and school administrators mostly in agreement. The bill would require every school district in the state to offer some type of program to send children to a school outside their zoned areas. It also would allow children to go to a school in a different district. A Senate subcommittee rekindled the proposal at a meeting Wednesday. The bill puts some limits on choice \u2014 schools, classes and programs can't get overcrowded and choice students would have to find their own transportation. Senators in the subcommittee didn't vote on the bill Wednesday, saying they want to make some tweaks first.\n- The fact that Michelle Childs is under consideration to fill a Supreme Court vacancy comes as no surprise to some of her legal colleagues in South Carolina. The federal judge has emerged as a possible nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer as President Joe Biden seeks to fulfill his pledge to put a Black woman on the nation's highest court. South Carolina attorney Vickie Eslinger says she hired Childs out of law school and quickly saw her as a lawyer capable of meeting tough challenges. When Childs was a state judge, South Carolina's then-Chief Justice Jean Toal often had Childs substitute on the appellate bench, in part because Toal saw a higher court in Childs' future.\n- Festival founder and artistic director Lee Pringle previews the works and performers coming to three historic venues February 2nd-5th.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

billion-dollar bit of business probably won't get settled until well into the spring. Lawmakers have an unprecedented amount of money to spend between the booming economy, federal stimulus money and cash lawmakers saved over the past few years. There is $1 billion set aside to improve roads, money for salary increases for state employees, law enforcement and teachers. But the difference in the income tax cut plans passed by the House and Senate likely won't be resolved for more than a month.

Mace drew the ire of Trump and his backers by voting to certify President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 election. Trump held a rally Saturday in Florence, South Carolina, with their primary challengers and laced into both as insufficiently loyal.\n- A man who shot and killed three people in a South Carolina home and then used their smartphones to send himself money for a plane ticket has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Investigators say he also shot and wounded an 8-year-old boy who hid in a bathroom with his dead sister for several hours before going to a neighbor's home to look for help. The 37-year-old Powell sobbed as he apologized in court for the killings.\n- When South Carolina announced the first two coronavirus cases on March 6, 2020, rural Kershaw County was a surprising name on the list.

bit of business probably won't get settled until well into the spring. Lawmakers have an unprecedented amount of money to spend between the booming economy, federal stimulus money and cash lawmakers saved over the past few years. There is $1 billion set aside to improve roads, money for salary increases for state employees, law enforcement and teachers. But the difference in the income tax cut plans passed by the House and Senate likely won't be resolved for more than a month.

Reps. Nancy Mace and Tom Rice are both facing spirited primary challenges from rivals backed by former President Donald Trump.

Mace drew the ire of Trump and his backers by voting to certify President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 election. Trump held a rally Saturday in Florence, South Carolina, with their primary challengers and laced into both as insufficiently loyal.\n- A man who shot and killed three people in a South Carolina home and then used their smartphones to send himself money for a plane ticket has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Investigators say he also shot and wounded an 8-year-old boy who hid in a bathroom with his dead sister for several hours before going to a neighbor's home to look for help.

lawmakers to pass both a hate crimes law and a bill specifying excessive force by officers is illegal. Jamal Sutherland's parents appeared Wednesday with members of the Black Legislative Caucus who are unhappy the proposals have stalled in the General Assembly. Sutherland died in January 2021 after he was shocked by employees who then kneeled on his back until he stopped breathing. The hate crime bill passed the House but is stalled in the Senate. Another bill supported by Sutherland's family would specify officers using excessive force is a crime.\n- The Republican-dominated South Carolina House has unanimously passed a $600 million income tax cut in less than 15 minutes of debate. Much of that short time Wednesday was spent with Democrats praising the proposal. Democratic Rep. David Weeks of Sumter called the tax cut the best thing since sliced bread for the working man in South Carolina. The House plan cuts the states top income tax rate from 7% to 6.5% next year and continues to reduce it to 6% over the next five years if the economy continues to grow. The proposal heads to the Senate, where leaders propose an even bigger cut from 7% to 5.7% and also $1 billion in rebates.\n- A bill giving state employees in South Carolina a floating holiday to replace Confederate Memorial Day is heading to the Senate floor. The bill started as a proposal to add the Juneteenth celebration on June 19 as a new state holiday. But instead of adding a 14th holiday, the members of the Senate Family and Veterans Services Committee voted Wednesday to create a holiday state employees could take any time they want. To not spend any additional money, the bill would remove Confederate Memorial Day on May 10 from the holiday list. If employees want that day off, or Juneteenth, they would have to use the floating holiday.\n- As newspapers are losing advertising revenue to the Internet and other competition, the survivors are innovating to keep in business and keep reporting the news.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

both a hate crimes law and a bill specifying excessive force by officers is illegal. Jamal Sutherland's parents appeared Wednesday with members of the Black Legislative Caucus who are unhappy the proposals have stalled in the General Assembly. Sutherland died in January 2021 after he was shocked by employees who then kneeled on his back until he stopped breathing. The hate crime bill passed the House but is stalled in the Senate. Another bill supported by Sutherland's family would specify officers using excessive force is a crime.\n- The Republican-dominated South Carolina House has unanimously passed a $600 million income tax cut in less than 15 minutes of debate. Much of that short time Wednesday was spent with Democrats praising the proposal. Democratic Rep. David Weeks of Sumter called the tax cut the best thing since sliced bread for the working man in South Carolina. The House plan cuts the states top income tax rate from 7% to 6.5% next year and continues to reduce it to 6% over the next five years if the economy continues to grow. The proposal heads to the Senate, where leaders propose an even bigger cut from 7% to 5.7% and also $1 billion in rebates.\n- A bill giving state employees in South Carolina a floating holiday to replace Confederate Memorial Day is heading to the Senate floor. The bill started as a proposal to add the Juneteenth celebration on June 19 as a new state holiday. But instead of adding a 14th holiday, the members of the Senate Family and Veterans Services Committee voted Wednesday to create a holiday state employees could take any time they want. To not spend any additional money, the bill would remove Confederate Memorial Day on May 10 from the holiday list. If employees want that day off, or Juneteenth, they would have to use the floating holiday.\n- As newspapers are losing advertising revenue to the Internet and other competition, the survivors are innovating to keep in business and keep reporting the news.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

its first execution after prison officials indicated they are ready to conduct executions by firing squad. Richard Bernard Moore is scheduled to die April 29 after the state Supreme Court issued an execution order Thursday. The 57-year-old Moore has spent more than two decades on death row after he was convicted of killing convenience store clerk James Mahoney in Spartanburg. Moore could face a choice between the electric chair and the firing squad. Lawmakers added the firing squad option to the state's capital punishment law last year to work around a decade-long pause in executions attributed to a lack of lethal injection drugs.\n- The State House of Representatives this week voted overwhelmingly to replace and restructure the University of South Carolina\u2019s governing board. The 113 to one vote follows a growing lack of confidence by many lawmakers in the current Board of Trustees. Those trustees are elected by the legislature, but botched presidential searches, million dollar payoffs to fired coaches, and public spats with some of the college\u2019s largest donors led to the action on the bill.\n- A bill allowing limited use of medical marijuana in South Carolina is heading to the House floor. That is the furthest the proposal has made it during the eight years its passionate supporters have been pushing for it. A House committee voted 16-3 in favor of the bill Thursday. The bill's sponsor said if it passes, South Carolina's law would be one of the most conservative of the nearly 40 states that allow marijuana for medical use. Smoking the drug would be illegal. Instead patients would have to use oil, salves, patches or vaporizers. The illnesses that can be treated are specified, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, sickle cell anemia, autism and some post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses.\n- South Carolina coach Dawn Staley has gone through a consequential year of success, both on and off the basketball court. Along the way, Staley has become the voice of leadership and direction in the women's game. She jokes often that she never planned to get into coaching before accepting the job at Temple even though she has always had in her. Staley's role as an elite point guard was to serve as the coach on the floor. She won her second NCAA Tournament crown \u2014 the first Black coach to accomplish the feat \u2014 with a 64-49 victory over UConn. Her success has given Staley the platform to champion issues off the court. She continues to speak out about gender equity, diversity and opportunities for women.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

conduct executions by firing squad. Richard Bernard Moore is scheduled to die April 29 after the state Supreme Court issued an execution order Thursday. The 57-year-old Moore has spent more than two decades on death row after he was convicted of killing convenience store clerk James Mahoney in Spartanburg. Moore could face a choice between the electric chair and the firing squad. Lawmakers added the firing squad option to the state's capital punishment law last year to work around a decade-long pause in executions attributed to a lack of lethal injection drugs.\n- The State House of Representatives this week voted overwhelmingly to replace and restructure the University of South Carolina\u2019s governing board. The 113 to one vote follows a growing lack of confidence by many lawmakers in the current Board of Trustees. Those trustees are elected by the legislature, but botched presidential searches, million dollar payoffs to fired coaches, and public spats with some of the college\u2019s largest donors led to the action on the bill.\n- A bill allowing limited use of medical marijuana in South Carolina is heading to the House floor. That is the furthest the proposal has made it during the eight years its passionate supporters have been pushing for it. A House committee voted 16-3 in favor of the bill Thursday. The bill's sponsor said if it passes, South Carolina's law would be one of the most conservative of the nearly 40 states that allow marijuana for medical use. Smoking the drug would be illegal. Instead patients would have to use oil, salves, patches or vaporizers. The illnesses that can be treated are specified, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, sickle cell anemia, autism and some post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses.\n- South Carolina coach Dawn Staley has gone through a consequential year of success, both on and off the basketball court. Along the way, Staley has become the voice of leadership and direction in the women's game. She jokes often that she never planned to get into coaching before accepting the job at Temple even though she has always had in her. Staley's role as an elite point guard was to serve as the coach on the floor. She won her second NCAA Tournament crown \u2014 the first Black coach to accomplish the feat \u2014 with a 64-49 victory over UConn. Her success has given Staley the platform to champion issues off the court. She continues to speak out about gender equity, diversity and opportunities for women.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

The House budget includes a $4,000 raise for teachers, a 3% raise for state employees and extra pay for law enforcement officers.

Any driver could hold a phone while parked or stopped. Drivers caught holding a phone would face a $100 fine for the first offense and a $200 fine and two points on their driving record for each additional offense.\n- Roughly 18 million children under the age of five are still not eligible for a COVID vaccine as parents struggle to keep them safe with limited daycare options.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

is funding members who, right now, are driving supplies into and war refugees out of KharkivAnderson-based Summer of God Slavic Evangelical Church has members from the Upstate on the ground in Ukraine right now. They're facing harrowing conditions while performing humanitarian aid.\n- Next week the State Senate next is expected to put the finishing touches on a bill to reduce personal income tax rates. A similar bill was unanimously approved by the House a couple of weeks ago thus almost assuring the long sought tax cut being enacted.The Senate bill would lower the top income tax rate from seven to five-point-seven percent. It also would eliminate the tax on military retiree income, and reduce manufacturers property tax from nine percent to six percent.Many state and business leaders have advocated a reduction of the income tax for years maintaining the rate is too high and puts the state at a competitive disadvantage with other southeastern states.\n- A bill that would require doctors to inform patients receiving drug-induced abortions about a controversial method to possibly halt the abortion process is moving forward in the South Carolina House. The House Judiciary Committee could consider the legislation after a panel of lawmakers voted 3-1 to advance it Thursday. The measure would require physicians to give pregnant people receiving the two-dose drug a written statement saying the abortion could potentially be reversed after the first pill. That's a stance experts have disputed. Critics of the bill say the legislation would restrict doctors' free speech and that South Carolina would likely face costly and time-consuming litigation should the bill become law.\n- The South Carolina Senate has unanimously passed a $2 billion income tax cut and rebate bill, setting up what will likely be intense negotiations with the House over the $1 billion tax cut it passed last month. The proposal would send a rebate of at least $100 to everyone who files an income tax return in South Carolina, Taxpayers who do owe state income tax would get that amount back up to $700. It cuts the state's top income tax rate from 7% to 5.7%, The House's tax cut bill trims the top rate from 7% to 6.5% now, eventually falling to 6%. All other brackets would collapse to 3% under the House plan.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

Save yourself on purpose, though, and you might save a few others by accident.\n- The South Carolina Senate has passed a bill that would ban businesses from refusing to serve people who haven't gotten the COVID-19 vaccine and prevent public employers from requiring the shots. The Senate approved the bill 29-12 on Wednesday. Senators made changes to a House bill which that chamber passed in December, meaning the proposal returns to the House to see if it accepts those changes. Senators initially put in a large unemployment tax penalty for private businesses that fired unvaccinated workers. But instead they compromised to allow fired workers to collect unemployment benefits, retroactive to the last nine months.\n- A South Carolina inmate set to die either by a firing squad or in the electric chair later this month is asking the state Supreme Court to halt his execution.

Moore is set to die on April 29 unless a court steps in. He has until next Friday to choose between the South Carolina's electric chair, which has been used twice in the past 30 years, or being shot by three volunteers who are prison workers in rules the state finalized last month.\n- Inspired by the Charleston-area legend of early 19th-century convicts John and Lavinia Fisher, Jeremy Turner's Six-Mile House premieres in Beaufort on Sunday, April 10th, with a second performance in Columbia on April 12th.\nOpen Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina's scenic, natural, and historic landscapes\nThe Open Space Institute\u2019s mission is to protect scenic, natural, and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities.

Lindsey Graham says he won't vote for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. He expressed concerns about her record despite supporting her confirmation as an appeals court judge last year. The South Carolina senator's announcement Thursday was expected after he criticized Jackson during her four days of hearings last week. But it gives Democrats one less Republican vote as they seek bipartisan backing for President Joe Biden's pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. Graham, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were the only three Republicans to vote to confirm Jackson on the appeals court in 2021.\n- Genealogists and historians can get a microscopic look at sweeping historical trends when individual records from the 1950 census are released this week.

The digitized forms have information about household members' names, race, sex, age, address, occupation, hours worked in the previous week, salary, education, marital status and the country where their parents were born. The records couldn't be released for confidentiality reasons until 72 years after they were gathered by census takers knocking on every home in the U.S.\n- A House committee will hold a public hearing Monday on a bill to allow the use of medical marijuana in South Carolina. A small group of House members made a few changes in the lengthy bill passed in February by the full Senate on a 28-15 vote. One amendment cleaned up the grammar and a few typos in the bill which senators considered more than 60 changes over seven days of debate. A second change restores some podiatrists with extra training to the list of doctors who can prescribe medical marijuana. There was little discussion of the bill Thursday. Much of that is expected for the meeting Monday morning by the full House Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee.\n- The judge says the state's Republican-led government was using subtle tactics to suppress Black voters.

It was not immediately clear who would take Ri's place, and the dispatch did not elaborate on his condition or future.\nSkeptical of claim\nDaniel Pinkston, a North Korea analyst at the International Crisis Group, was skeptical of the illness claim, in part because of Ri's recent apparent health.

"url": "https://torontosun.com/life/sex-files/netflixs-new-show-sexy-beasts-truly-an-eye-opener", "orig_text": "SEX FILES: Netflix's new show, Sexy Beasts truly an eye-opener\nArticle content\nLast Tuesday, I found myself glued to my television as I tried to second guess whether a demon would choose a baboon or a mouse for a second date.\nBefore you ask, \u201cwhat fresh brand of TV hell is this?\u201d I was watching Sexy Beasts, Netflix\u2019s latest terrifying entr\u00e9e in the canon of absurd dating reality shows. The show, which premiered July 21 after its viral trailer took the internet by storm earlier this summer, follows a cast of real life singles who\u2019ve agreed to wear elaborate makeup and prosthetics to put true blind-date chemistry to the test. And yes, it\u2019s just as wild as you may expect.\ntap here to see other videos from our team.\nSEX FILES: Netflix's new show, Sexy Beasts truly an eye-opener Back to video\nEach episode is focused on a different \u201cbeast\u201d as they go on a series of speed dates with three members of the opposite sex who are also disguised as creatures. At the end of each speed date, the singles return to Sexy Beast Manor, \u201ca stately home designed for dumping\u201d (their words, not mine) where the beast decides who he or she will kick off the show in a series of \u201cdramatic ditching ceremonies.\u201d\nAdvertisement 2\nArticle content\nIt\u2019s best to think of Sexy Beasts like an absurd hybrid of the show Elimidate paired with the most cringe-worthy moments of the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber\u2019s Cats (Jason Derulo\u2019s unitard, anyone?) only with more uncomfortable kissing. Like previous pandemic era Netflix oeuvres like Love is Blind and Too Hot To Handle, this reality show also feels like a fever dream spawned from a pitch meeting helmed by 30 Rock\u2019s Jack Donaghy (\u201cOK, writers. There\u2019s no bad ideas! Only good ideas that go horribly wrong!\u201d) There\u2019s cheetahs. There\u2019s demons. There\u2019s a musclebound beaver that earnestly declares to the camera that he\u2019s looking for \u201cass first, personality second.\u201d\nOver the course of six short episodes, we\u2019re introduced to the Noah Ark of singles that include memorable contestants like Nina, a bubbly (no pun intended) dolphin \u201clooking for her cowboy;\u201d Bennett a baboon who\u2019s bonkers for boobs; Mick a new-agey rhino who loves \u201csex kung fu\u201d and believes \u201cvulnerability is our biggest muscle;\u201d and Adam, a pink shirt and gold chain clad, mouse with a man bun who proves that yes, a rodent can look like a total douchebag.\nWhile best consumed after a few drinks (or if you\u2019re really brave, some legally obtained edibles), this reality show has everything you could possibly need from a midsummer binge-watch. Interspecies romance! Weird oil paintings! Foot massages! The English Countryside! Dad jokes about elephant penises!\nAdvertisement 3\nArticle content\nHowever, along with answering questions you never thought to ask like, \u201cexactly how awkward is it to watch a beaver and cheetah makeout?\u201d and \u201cam I imagining it or does the troll have really good chemistry with the rooster?\u201d there is some wisdom to be found underneath all the faux fur and grease paint.\nFor starters, there\u2019s a fine line between knowing what you want and shooting yourself in the foot (or fin). One of the most unforgettable moments happens when Kariselle, an adorable Panda with the personality of an aggressive Minnie Mouse on uppers, tells her date (a wide-eyed Ram) that she wants to have babies and get married within the next two years, then asks in the same breath, \u201cdo you have health insurance?\u201d\nWhile extreme honesty can be a great litmus test for future partners (example: the Tin Man that literally cheers when Kariselle rejects him), being so rigid with your expectations does you a disservice. Be clear about what you want but also give relationships time to unfold at their own pace.\nSexy Beasts is also a nice reminder that even in our app-driven, image obsessed world, true attraction is still about more than just physical appearance. While I don\u2019t suggest showing up to your next date dressed as a manatee, we could all probably benefit from looking inward and asking, \u201chow does this person actually make me feel?\u201d next time we meet someone new \u2013 even if it means kissing a few literal toads."}

"SEX FILES: The ABCs of F-Boy Island\nArticle content\n\u201cWomen have been forced to tolerate the manipulative douchebaggery of \u201cf-boys\u201d for far too long.\u201d So begins the trailer for the new HBO Max show F-Boy Island, which promises to flip the script.\nAdvertisement 2\nArticle content\nThe reality series, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, follows a trio of single women (Nakia Renee, CJ Franco and Sarah Emig) as they try to find love among 24 bachelors. Half of the guys are self-proclaimed \u201cNice Guys,\u201d who are allegedly looking for a relationship, and the other 12 are self-proclaimed \u201cF-Boys\u201d (players looking for sex) who are only there to hook up and win the $100,000 cash prize. Drama and beach volleyball ensue as they navigate a series of challenges designed to \u201cseparate the men from the bros.\u201d\ntap here to see other videos from our team.\nSEX FILES: The ABCs of F-Boy Island Back to video\nThe reality show is a strange but irresistible mash-up of Love Island, Blues Clues and the world\u2019s longest frat party complete with ample muscle flexing, beard grooming, a chorus of \u201cbruhs\u201d \u2013 and most importantly \u2013 mystery and intrigue. Is the guy rhythmically thrusting his pelvis towards the camera while he holds (what appears to be) a foaming bottle of something (champagne? whipped cream?) against his crotch, a \u201cgood guy\u201d or a player? Who\u2019s to say!\n(If you\u2019re placing bets, you might want to keep an eye on him. Just a thought.)\nThere are a couple of reasons why I think F-Boy Island is set to be a hit. For starters, it\u2019s premiering on July 29th, smack dab in the middle of what\u2019s been dubbed \u201cHot Vaxx Summer,\u201d but in Canada should really be renamed \u201cI\u2019m vaccinated but I\u2019m going to wear a mask in this suburban Winners because I think I have to but I\u2019m not sure so I\u2019m going to keep it on because I don\u2019t want to make anyone uncomfortable, Summer.\u201d\nAdvertisement 3\nArticle content\nIt\u2019s hot, we\u2019ve run out of shows to binge and it still feels a bit weird to touch other humans. A show about a bunch of sexy people (some of whom are jerks of soap opera villain proportions) frolicking half-naked on the beach feels like the summer we deserve but haven\u2019t quite received yet.\nSecondly, tropical locale and TV crew aside, the premise feels eerily familiar. When I first saw the trailer I thought, \u201cisn\u2019t this just \u2026 dating?\u201d\nAs someone who actually lives on an actual island, \u201cF-boy Island\u201d could easily double as the title of my dating memoir. My love life feels like never-ending exercise in sussing out sincere suitors from a very limited (and questionable) pool of bachelors. Only in my case, it involves less rock-hard abs and jelly shots and more male pattern baldness and 40-year-olds on skateboards.\nHaving fallen under the spell of one too many corrupt Casanovas, I\u2019ve become quite adept at spotting them from afar (or at least, from across the table on the first date). Here\u2019s a few telltale signs you\u2019re dealing with a player.\nThey get weird about feelings and the future\nF-boys live in a perpetual present, where everything is \u201cchill,\u201d and feelings don\u2019t really exist, unless of course, it\u2019s their own. You may feel like they\u2019re \u201cletting you in\u201d when they vent about their bad day at work but how do they react when you share something personal with them? How about when you bring up the topic of relationships or marriage? Do they engage and show emotional vulnerability or do they brush it off with a joke or playful banter?\nThey want a high return with minimal investment\nA player is looking to get the most with the least amount of effort. They want you to meet them, physically and emotionally, wherever they might be. Whether that\u2019s the bar right by their office or a late-night rendezvous, F-boys don\u2019t make plans, they say, \u201clet\u2019s play it by ear.\u201d\nIf you feel like something might be off, trust your gut. You may not be able to control how many F-boys land on your own personal island, but as the show reminds us, you do have the power to decide who you send packing with an \u201cF-bye.\u201d"}

"orig_text": "SINGAPORE --\nMany Asian countries are facing a spike in COVID-19 infections after the widely-celebrated Lunar New Year holidays, as health officials grapple with the highly-transmissible omicron variant and expectations that numbers will continue to rise in coming weeks.\nThe Lunar New Year, which is China's biggest holiday, was celebrated across Asia on Feb. 1 even as pandemic restrictions in many countries kept crowds and family outings to a minimum.\nHong Kong's authorities are confronting record cases that are straining its so-called \"zero-COVID\" policy. On Monday, the city reported a new high of 614 local infections.\n\"We expect there will be more cases coming in a few days. We consider this as some effects after the holiday events and clusters,\" told reporters on Monday Edwin Tsui, an official with the Centre for Health Protection.\n\"With our current containment measures, we hope we can still contain the disease.\"\nHong Kong currently requires all cases to be hospitalized. On Monday, authorities announced that close contacts of infected persons will be allowed to isolate at home, starting from Tuesday. Those who test positive while in home isolation will be transferred to a hospital.\nHong Kong has aligned itself with China's \"zero-COVID\" policy that aims to totally stamp out outbreaks, even as many other countries change their approach to living with the virus. Authorities look to impose lockdowns on residential buildings wherever clusters of infections are identified, and have banned public dining after 6 p.m.\nIn Singapore, a dramatic rise in coronavirus infections followed last week's holiday, with cases tripling to 13,000 on Friday.\nDaily infections have since dipped to 7,752 on Sunday, amid restrictions that include limited capacity for restaurants and capping the number of unique visitors to each household.\nSingapore has reported over 100,000 cases spanning the last month, although over 99 per cent of the cases are mild or asymptomatic.\nAcross Asia, authorities are confronting a similar pattern as the more easily transmissible omicron becomes dominant, even as health officials in several countries report that omicron surges are not driving hospitalizations or deaths as high as the previous delta variant.\nIn Japan, nearly 90,000 new cases nationwide were reported on Sunday, including 17,526 in Tokyo, as local omicron infections showed no signs of slowing.\nExperts say the infections are now spreading to vulnerable elderly people who are beginning to fill more hospital beds. Less than 5 per cent of the country's population has received their third dose of the coronavirus vaccine.\nLocal outbreak numbers are similarly rising in Indonesia, edging toward the caseloads that marked the height of last year's devastating delta outbreak.\nOn Jan. 6, Indonesia recorded 533 new COVID-19 cases and seven deaths. A month later on Sunday, the daily figure had soared to 36,057. Daily deaths have also climbed to 57, almost four times the rate a week ago.\nIn Thailand, officials on Monday reported more than 10,000 daily cases for the third day in a row, but the Department of Disease Control said that the number of severely ill patients was dropping, while the fatality rate has remained stable.\nDepartment chief Opas Karnkawinpong said that Thailand might consider relaxing some of the country's pandemic restrictions, as the omicron variant seemed to be less severe.\n\"The global situation of COVID-19 seems to be moving in the same direction,\" he was quoted as saying in The Bangkok Post. \"Many countries have started to ease measured despite spikes in daily infections.\"\nIn other countries where the Lunar New Year is a major holiday, governments are likewise on high alert ahead of expectations that omicron will continue to stoke higher infections.\nNew cases in Malaysia have been hovering higher, with the health ministry reporting 11,034 on Monday. The rise came after the Lunar New Year when many Malaysians travel, but health officials said most of the cases were asymptomatic or have light symptoms.\nTop health official Noor Hisham Abdullah has warned that daily cases could double by the end of March and urged Malaysians to take their booster dose. Some 98 per cent of adults in the country have completed their vaccination and half of them have received their third jab.\nIn South Korea, health experts warn that the country may see daily jumps of 130,000 or 170,000 by late February.\nThe country reported 38,691 new cases of the virus, a nine-fold increase from the levels seen in mid-January, when omicron became the country's dominant strain.\nIn Vietnam, authorities have warned that infections may rise after the popular new year holiday.\nVietnam reported 192 cases of the omicron variant in the past month, with most of those showing only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. With low hospitalization and death rates, Vietnam had previously moved toward resuming most social activities.\nThe Philippines has moved to ease coronavirus restrictions and open its doors to tourists as outbreak numbers eased to about 8,300 on Sunday, down from a peak of 39,000 in mid-January.\nBut social distancing restrictions remain in place amid fears of an outbreak ahead of the country's presidential and general elections May 9. Campaigning begins on Tuesday, with a ban in place on handshakes, kissing, hugging and large crowds.\nIn mainland China, new local infections continue to fluctuate, falling as low as nine on Friday, but rising again to 45 on Monday, most of them in the southern region of Guangxi.\nRecent cases have included a handful of omicron infections, though such outbreaks have been tightly contained. Chinese authorities have imposed strict local lock downs and mass testing, as the country kicked off the Beijing Winter Olympics last week.\nMeanwhile, the far-flung Pacific archipelago nation of Tonga has been trying to contain its first outbreak since the start of the global pandemic, which might have been brought in with the delivery of emergency medical supplies and water after last month's volcanic eruption and tsunami.\nTwo Tongan men who worked handling shipments tested positive last week. Over the weekend, Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni said two more positive cases were confirmed, bringing the total of active cases to seven.\n------\nAssociated Press writers Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, Jim Gomez in Manila, Hau Dinh in Hanoi, David Rising in Bangkok, Mari Yamaguchi in Tokyo, and Niniek Karmini in Jakarta contributed to this report."}

kidnapping a Washington state woman are also suspected of sexually assaulting her after a concert during a party on the band's tour bus, according to court documents.\nThe documents made public Monday said the assault by the members of Decapitated happened in the bathroom of the tour bus following the Aug. 31 concert in Spokane, Washington.\nThe band members were arrested Saturday in Santa Ana, California, for investigation of first degree kidnapping. The four men appeared in court in Los Angeles Tuesday and waived extradition to Washington, KABC-TV reported.\nSteve Graham, a lawyer for the band members, said in an email that the members of \"Decapitated plan to fully fight the allegations that have been brought against them and are confident that their side of the story will be heard.\"\nDecapitated had been touring with the Australian band Thy Art is Murder, and performed several shows after the Spokane concert before being arrested.\nArrested were band members Michal Lysejko, 31; Waclaw Kieltyka, 35; Rafal Piotrowski, 31; and Hubert Wiecek, 30.\nThe woman and her friend told Spokane police they attended the Aug. 31 show, spoke with members of Decapitated and were invited to have drinks in the tour bus. Once on the bus, the women reported they began to feel uncomfortable.\nOne of the women went to use the bathroom on the bus and was followed inside by a band member, according to the documents filed by police in Spokane County Superior Court.\nThe woman tried to push him away, \"but he grabbed her arm and spun her around to where she was facing the sink and mirror in the bathroom,\" court documents said.\n\"She saw in the mirror and out of the corner of her eye each of the band members taking turns raping her,\" the documents said.\nThe woman's friend told police in the documents that she watched the band members commit the assault.\nThe woman said a band member helped her get dressed and carried her out of the bus before she walked away and called 911.\nA police officer who picked her up returned to the concert venue, but the tour bus was gone.\nThe documents said the woman was examined at a hospital where she was found to have upper arm bruises consistent with being restrained and other injuries.\nGraham, the band's attorney, told The Spokesman-Review newspaper, \"We have witnesses that can testify to the fact that the accuser came to visit the band of her own free will and left on good terms.\"\nBand members were interviewed Thursday by sheriff's detectives.\nLysejko told officers he did not know the women when shown a picture of her. Kieltyka said he saw two members of the band engage in sex acts with the woman in the bus bathroom, the court documents said.\nPiotrowski said the women were at a party on the bus but declined additional comment, while Wiecek said the two women had been on the bus but he did not see what was going on, court documents said.\nThe women were not identified in the court documents."}

PETERSBURG, Russia \u2014 Belgium and England both leave the World Cup happy to have reached the semifinals. Belgium may be a little happier, though.\nThe Belgians earned their highest World Cup finish by beating England 2-0 in the third-place match on Saturday. Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard scored a goal each.\n\"These players didn't want to rely on talent anymore, wanted to work as a team,\" Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said. \"Their standards have been magnificent. They wanted to make the country proud, every single Red Devils fan proud.\"\nFrance and Croatia will play in the final on Sunday at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The French beat Belgium on Tuesday in the semifinals, while the Croats defeated England on Wednesday.\nMeunier's early goal matched a World Cup record for Belgium by having 10 different players score in a tournament, something only done before by France in 1982 and Italy in 2006.\nBoth Belgium and England were playing for the seventh time in 26 days, but the Belgians entered the match with an extra day of rest.\nMeunier scored in the fourth minute, knocking a cross from Nacer Chadli past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Hazard added the other off a pass from Kevin De Bruyne in the 82nd.\nToby Alderweireld denied England's best chance of the game, sliding on the goal line to clear a shot from Eric Dier.\nEngland matched its best World Cup result \u2014 fourth in 1990 \u2014 since winning the tournament for the only time in 1966.\n\"Today shows there's room for improvement. We're not the finished article. We're still learning. We're still getting better,\" England striker Harry Kane said. \"We don't want to wait another 20-odd years to get into another major semifinal.\"\nBelgium's previous best finish at the World Cup was fourth, but the team outplayed England in the midfield to go one better this time.\nThe Belgians could easily have scored more, with Pickford making a good save to stop a shot from De Bruyne in the 11th and Alderweireld volleying narrowly over the bar in the 35th.\nEngland made set pieces the cornerstone of its run to the World Cup semifinals and created chances for Harry Maguire and Dier in the second half. Neither hit the target with their headers.\nIt was the second time England and Belgium met in this year's tournament. In the group stage, both teams had already qualified before Belgium's 1-0 win in Kaliningrad.\nFRESH LEGS\nEngland coach Gareth Southgate made five changes to face Belgium, but Danny Rose and Fabian Delph made little impact while Dier started slowly but threatened in the second half.\nPhil Jones failed to intercept the pass which led to Hazard's goal.\nThe two replacements in Belgium's lineup were more effective. Meunier scored and Youri Tielemans dominated the midfield.\nGOLDEN BOOT\nKane is still placed to win the Golden Boot with a tournament-leading six goals ahead of Sunday's final.\nKane last scored in England's win over Colombia in the round of 16. On Saturday, he slipped as he shot wide in the first half, then failed to make contact with Jesse Lingard's cross early in the second.\nRomelu Lukaku couldn't add to his four goals for Belgium and was substituted shortly after misjudging a through ball by De Bruyne."}

PETERSBURG, Russia \u2014 For Belgium and England, the World Cup\u2019s third-place match was more like a dress rehearsal for future finals.\nAt least they hope.\nThe Belgians earned their best World Cup finish by beating England 2-0 on Saturday in a match both saw as the start of a push for the European Championship title in 2020 or the World Cup in 2022.\n\u201cWith this winning mentality you can win trophies,\u201d said Eden Hazard, who scored Belgium\u2019s second goal. \u201cIn two years, in four years, we will be better. We have young players. They are very good also in the team. They push all of us.\u201d\nThomas Meunier and Hazard both scored at St. Petersburg Stadium in a match between the two semifinal losers.\nFrance and Croatia will play in the final on Sunday at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The French beat Belgium on Tuesday in the semifinals, while the Croats defeated England on Wednesday.\nEngland matched its best World Cup result \u2014 fourth in 1990 \u2014 since winning the tournament for the only time in 1966.\n\u201cToday shows there\u2019s room for improvement. We\u2019re not the finished article. We\u2019re still learning. We\u2019re still getting better,\u201d England striker Harry Kane said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to wait another 20-odd years to get into another major semifinal.\u201d\nBoth Belgium and England were playing for the seventh time in 26 days, but the Belgians entered the match with an extra day of rest.\nMeunier\u2019s goal matched a World Cup record for Belgium by having 10 players score in a tournament, something only done before by France in 1982 and Italy in 2006.\nMeunier scored in the fourth minute, knocking a cross from Nacer Chadli past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Hazard added the other off a pass from Kevin De Bruyne in the 82nd.\nToby Alderweireld denied England\u2019s best chance, sliding on the goal line to clear a shot from Eric Dier.\nBelgium\u2019s previous best finish at the World Cup was fourth, but the team outplayed England in the midfield to go one better this time.\nThe Belgians could easily have scored more, with Pickford making a good save to stop a shot from De Bruyne in the 11th minute and Alderweireld volleying narrowly over the bar in the 35th.\nEngland made set pieces the cornerstone of its run to the World Cup semifinals and created chances for Harry Maguire and Dier in the second half. Neither hit the target with headers.\nIt was the second time England and Belgium met in this year\u2019s tournament. In the group stage, both teams had qualified before Belgium\u2019s 1-0 win in Kaliningrad.\nEngland coach Gareth Southgate made five changes to face Belgium, but neither Danny Rose nor Fabian Delph made much of an impact. Dier started slowly but threatened in the second half.\nPhil Jones failed to intercept the pass which led to Hazard\u2019s goal.\nThe replacements for Belgium were more effective. Meunier scored and Youri Tielemans dominated midfield.\nGolden Boot: Kane is still poised to win the tournament award for high scorer with a tournament-leading six goals ahead of Sunday\u2019s final.\nKane last scored in England\u2019s win over Colombia in the round of 16. On Saturday, he slipped as he shot wide in the first half, then failed to make contact with Jesse Lingard\u2019s cross early in the second.\nRomelu Lukaku couldn\u2019t add to his four goals for Belgium and was substituted shortly after misjudging a through ball by De Bruyne.\nAmong the final match participants, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe of France each have three goals.\nJames Ellingworth is an Associated Press writer."}

For them, not having a bus service \u2014 as meagre as it is \u2014 would go well beyond being \u201cinconvenienced.\u201d What about those people, Mr. MacKay?\nI, too, despise deficit financing. Governments are putting charges on credit cards for us, our kids and our grandchildren and we seem to gobble it right up. However, some things are worth subsidizing, and continued bus service within Saskatchewan is one of them.\n(If Premier Brad Wall wants to reduce the debt a bit he could eliminate the three new MLA positions he created.)"}

pipeline leaked 200,000 litres of crude oil on First Nation farmland.\nIt says it belongs to Calgary-based Tundra Energy Marketing Ltd.\nThe company has been leading cleanup of the spill near Stoughton in southeastern Saskatchewan.\nThe government says so far 174,000 litres of oil have been recovered and 185,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil removed.\nIt says further assessment and cleanup, including excavation work, will follow until the site is restored.\nTundra confirmed on its website that it is the operator of the pipeline and is working with regulatory bodies and the Ocean Man First Nation to determine the cause.\nChief Connie Big Eagle said a band member who worked in the oil industry detected the smell of oil days before the leak was discovered.\nThe member eventually found the site of the spill contained in a small slough and reported it to officials on Friday.\nShe said emotions among the 540 band members range from disappointment to anger.\n\u201cMany of our people grew up in the oil industry and have made their careers in the oil industry and currently work in the oil industry, so there\u2019s lots of knowledge,\u201d she said in an interview Tuesday.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know about things returning to normal, as far as the environment goes, but I know we\u2019re all co-operating at this point, ensuring it\u2019s cleaned up properly and no further damage is caused to the land or the environment.\u201d\nTundra has said it immediately notified government officials and residents when the leak was reported and began removing surface oil with vacuum trucks.\nTundra is a subsidiary of grain and energy conglomerate James Richardson &Sons, Ltd., of Winnipeg.\nThe Ocean Man spill is almost as big as a 225,000-litre leak of heavy crude oil and diluent from a Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) pipeline into the North Saskatchewan River last July.\nThe leak forced the cities of North Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort to shut off their water intakes from the river and find other water sources for almost two months.\nHusky said it spent about $90 million responding to the spill, which it said was caused by shifting ground."}

readers report sand movement over the weekend\nThe Honolulu-based concrete production company that has been moving sand from Central Maui to other places off-site, including Oahu, has stopped transporting sand, following a formal notice from Maui County regarding permit issues on Monday.\nHonolulu Construction & Draying President Wade Wakayama said in an email Wednesday afternoon that no sand has been hauled out of a Maui Lani project since Monday. HC&D is reviewing the Maui County notice, he said.\nLast week, Wakayama said HC&D\u2019s grading activity at Maui Lani was in compliance with its current grading permit.\nBut county Department of Planning Director William Spence said last week that grading permits were issued properly, but the excavation and exporting of \u201chigh-quality sand for making concrete and other purposes meets the definition of a \u2018resource extraction.\u2019 \u201d\nResource extraction may require either a special or conditional use permit, he said.\nWhile sand mining is not illegal, some community members are concerned about the resource being depleted and shipped off-island and archaeological damage.\nSpence said in an email Wednesday that county officials had considered sending a warning letter via regular certified mail, but thought it would take too long. So, the county emailed the warnings Friday and hand-delivered them on Monday to Maui Lani Partners and HC&D.\nThrough a Uniform Information Practices Act request, The Maui News obtained the letter sent to the companies as well as emails between the county and HC&D.\nThe warning email was sent to Wakayama at 4:40 p.m. Friday, after the Planning Department found a correct email address for the company.\nThe letter sent via email and hand-delivered to the companies asks HC&D and Maui Lani to \u201ccorrect any violations immediately upon receipt of this notice.\u201d\nThe letter from John Rapacz, administrator of the Planning Department\u2019s Zoning Administration and Enforcement Division, also said that resource extraction use is not permitted within the Maui Lani Project District. It added that fines could be assessed if violations occur.\nRapacz said in the email late Friday afternoon to HC&D that the notice of warning is dated May 1, but that allowed for U.S. Postal Service delivery.\nIn an email reply to Rapacz on Monday, Wakayama said he was not in the office for several days so he did not receive a letter other than the email.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve stopped any grading work as of today (Monday) until clarification, etc. can be determined,\u201d he wrote.\nSpence said that he has not heard from Maui Lani Partners.\nThe Maui News was unable to reach Maui Lani Partners officials for comment on Wednesday.\n\u201cWe will monitor for compliance,\u201d Spence said.\nWakayama told The Maui News that the company has updated the county on its on-site activities and would continue to work with the county to ensure HC&D\u2019s work is carried out properly and in permit compliance.\n\u201cAny work on the site since (Monday) are for purposes of erosion and dust control as well as stabilization which are normal and important safety practices,\u201d Wakayama said.\nThe Maui News readers reported over the weekend that they believed they saw sand moving from the Maui Lani site.\nSpence said: \u201cIt\u2019s disturbing to me that hauling may have taken place on Saturday because it sure seems all of the parties were already aware of the issue, but it illustrates our concern to get the warnings into their hands.\u201d\nThe county\u2019s investigation into the sand matter was triggered by a KHON2 news report investigation into grading and sand moving work in Central Maui, county officials said. The report said Maui Lani Partners has a permit to excavate at one of its sites. A map shows the land is adjacent to Maui Lani Parkway and west of The Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course.\nThe news report said trucks transport the sand to a mound on land leased from Alexander & Baldwin. HC&D, formerly know as Ameron, is the lessee and through another permit moves sand from the site to a barge at Kahului Harbor, where it is shipped to the company\u2019s plant on Oahu.\nMaui Lani Partners has said all earth-moving activities are overseen by an archaeological monitor in accordance with the state-approved monitoring plan.\nThere have been reports of sign-waving rallies on Maui this week in opposition to sand mining.\nLast week, Mayor Alan Arakawa sent a letter to the Maui County Council to consider a moratorium on sand mining, as he suggested in 2006.\nMaui County spokesman Rod Antone said that officials in the mayor\u2019s office, Corporation Counsel, Public Works and Planning departments, along with Council Member Bob Carroll, met Tuesday to see what could be done about sand mining.\nAntone said Carroll volunteered his staff to come up with new legislation while the Planning Department enforces existing zoning rules and regulations.\n\u201cBoth the mayor and the councilman are very passionate about this issue,\u201d Antone said.\nCarroll has been trying to stop sand mining since 2001.\n* Melissa Tanji can be reached at mtanji@mauinews.com."}

Topline Results From Phase 3 Trial in Uncontrolled Persistent Asthma\n- Investigational dupilumab reduced severe asthma attacks and improved lung function -\nParis, France and Tarrytown, New York - September 11, 2017 -\nSanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that the pivotal Phase 3 LIBERTY ASTHMA QUEST study of dupilumab in a broad population of patients with uncontrolled, persistent asthma met its two primary endpoints.\nDupilumab, when added to standard therapies, reduced severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and improved lung function. At 52 weeks, in the 300 mg dose group, dupilumab reduced severe asthma attacks by 46 percent in the overall population, 60 percent in patients with 150 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater, and 67 percent in patients with 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater (p less than 0.001 for all groups). At 12 weeks, in the 300 mg dupilumab dose group, mean improvement in lung function over placebo as assessed by forced expiratory volume over one second (FEV1) with dupilumab was 130 mL (9 percent) in the overall population, 210 mL (11 percent) in patients with 150 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater, and 240 mL (18 percent) in patients with 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater (p less than 0.001 for all groups).\nThe companies plan to submit a Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of this year.\n\"Approximately one million U.S. adults and adolescents live with uncontrolled, persistent asthma, and continue to experience serious asthma attacks, despite taking an intensive regimen of standard therapies,\" said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron. \"Dupilumab has now demonstrated positive late-stage results in two serious allergic diseases -- asthma and atopic dermatitis -- with robust efficacy and an extensive safety database. These results continue to support our hypothesis that the IL4/IL13 pathway is a critical driver of allergic disease, and weremain committed to further investigating the IL-4/IL-13 pathway in other allergic diseases.\"\nThe results for the 200 mg and 300 mg dupilumab dose groups were generally comparable on both exacerbations and FEV1. The extent of patient response correlated with allergic or atopic status as reflected by blood eosinophils and other markers. Less activity was observed in patients with less than 150 eosinophilic cells/microliter. The overall rates of adverse events, deaths, infections, conjunctivitis, herpes and discontinuations were comparable between the dupilumab and placebo groups. Injection site reactions were more common in the dupilumab groups occurring in 17 percent of dupilumab patients compared to 8 percent of placebo patients.\n\"We believe that therapies like dupilumab, which focus on specific molecular pathways such as the Th2 pathway associated with multiple chronic allergic diseases, are important targets for further investigation,\" said Elias Zerhouni, M.D., President, Global R&D, Sanofi. \"The positive data from this large second pivotal trial in uncontrolled persistent asthma, following the positive results of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis, further support this view in our opinion. We will work diligently with health authorities to bring this new application of dupilumab to the patients who most need it.\"\nThe QUEST pivotal Phase 3 trial enrolled 1,902 patients including 1,795 adults and 107 adolescents across 413 study sites worldwide. The four study groups included patients treated with 200 mg every other week with a loading dose of 400 mg, 300 mg every other week with a loading dose of 600 mg, and two separate placebo groups. Patients were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to active drug versus placebo. The two primary endpoints of the study were the annualized rate of severe exacerbation events at 52 weeks and the absolute change from baseline in a standard measure of lung function known as pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume over one second (FEV1) at 12 weeks (changes of 100 to 200 mL are considered clinically relevant). The pre-specified primary analysis included hierarchical evaluation of these endpoints in the overall population, in patients with 150 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater, and in patients with 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater. In the study, approximately 50 percent of patients had 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater and approximately 70 percent of patients had 150 eosinophilic cells/microliter or greater. Higher eosinophil counts are generally thought to be associated with poorer asthma control and higher rates of exacerbations, as was observed in the placebo patients in this study.\nAll patients continued on a medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and up to two additional controller medicines throughout the study. Eosinophil subgroups were classified based on baseline levels.\nDetailed results from this study will be submitted for presentation at a future medical congress. QUEST is the second pivotal trial in uncontrolled persistent asthma following a positive Phase 2b pivotal study of dupilumab. Data from another Phase 3 study known as VENTURE examining the ability of dupilumab to reduce oral corticosteroid use in patients with severe steroid-dependent asthma are expected later this year. Also included in the LIBERTY ASTHMA clinical development program is the TRAVERSE trial, a long-term safety extension study. The potential use of dupilumab in asthma is currently under clinical development and the safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.\nIn March 2017, the FDA approved Dupixent\u00ae (dupilumab) in the U.S. for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis that is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies.\nAbout Uncontrolled Persistent Asthma\nPeople who live with uncontrolled persistent asthma often have severe attacks (exacerbations) that may lead to emergency room visits, hospitalizations and decreased lung function. Despite currently available treatments, there is a need for new medicines that offer comprehensive asthma control including preservation of lung function and reduction in exacerbations.[i],[ii] Uncontrolled persistent asthma is often associated with other Type 2 allergic inflammatory diseases including atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, eosinophilic esophagitis and food allergies. The disease is characterized by an imbalance or overactivity of certain immune cells (including eosinophils) and signaling proteins known as interleukins. Two of these are Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) 1-,[iii],[iv],[v], which are central drivers of Type 2 inflammation.\nAbout Dupilumab Clinical Programs\nDupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that is designed to simultaneously inhibit overactive signaling of IL-4 and IL-13 cytokines, one of the root causes of Type 2 allergic inflammation. Sanofi and Regeneron are studying dupilumab in a broad range of clinical development programs for diseases that are driven by Type 2 inflammation, including pediatric atopic dermatitis (Phase 3) nasal polyps (Phase 3) and eosinophilic esophagitis (Phase 2). These potential uses are investigational and the safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement.\nDupixent\u00ae (dupilumab) is the first and only biologic medicine FDA-approved for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies.\nFor more information on dupilumab clinical trials please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.\nAbout Sanofi\nSanofi, a global healthcare leader, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions focused on patients' needs.

"https://qz.com/912746/scott-pruitt-with-history-of-opposing-public-health-laws-confirmed-to-lead-epa-the-agency-in-charge-of-protecting-public-health/", "orig_text": "Scott Pruitt, the former Oklahoma attorney general who sued the US Environmental Protection Agency to block rules against toxic air pollution, is now the head of the agency.\nPruitt was confirmed in a Senate vote today, 52-46. His ties to climate-change deniers and the fossil-fuel industry (and the 13 lawsuits he has filed alongside oil and gas companies against the EPA) made him a particularly controversial appointee to lead the agency.\n\u201cScott Pruitt represents what we environmental lawyers call an \u2018imminent and substantial endangerment\u2019 to our health and environment,\u201d Ellen Spitalnik, a former EPA attorney who served Republican and Democratic administrations from 1980 to 2002, said in a statement. She along with nearly 800 former EPA employees signed a letter opposing Pruitt for administrator. \u201cHe threatens the very integrity of EPA and must not be allowed to continue shutting down environmental enforcement, disregarding science, and putting private interests above public good.\u201d\nIn one scandal, Pruitt received a letter drafted by a major oil and gas company, put his letterhead on it, and sent it to the EPA as an official complaint from the Oklahoma attorney general\u2019s office. In a report on the letter, the New York Times called it evidence of an \u201cunprecedented, secretive alliance\u201d between Pruitt and the oil and gas industry.\nAmong his lawsuits against the EPA were efforts to undermine the agency\u2019s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which went into effect in 2012. They limit the amount of mercury, cyanide, acid gas, and other toxic chemicals that power plants can legally emit. Pruitt also sued to block the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which curbs power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides but has yet to take effect\u2014it is scheduled to be effective in May of this year. To finalize rules like these, the EPA always has to quantify the benefits: In studies of both rules, each were found to prevent the premature deaths of tens of thousands of Americans per year.\nDuring Pruitt\u2019s Senate confirmation hearing, John Barrasso, a Republican senator from Wyoming, remarked that Pruitt enjoys the support of the Cornwall Alliance, an Evangelical organization that considers the scientific consensus on climate change a product of \u201csin,\u201d and environmentalism to be a \u201cnative evil.\u201d Cataclysmic climate change can\u2019t exist, the group says, because God\u2019s intelligent design is flawless, and would not allow it to happen. The organization reportedly has financial ties to the US oil billionaire Koch brothers.\nAll this, combined with president Donald Trump\u2019s promises to gut the EPA and early steps taken to prevent EPA employees from talking to the public, has current EPA employees bracing for the worst.\nWith Pruitt now in place as administrator, a budget for the EPA\u2019s next fiscal year will likely be published soon, which will help determine whether the agency will still have the staff and funds necessary to enforce environmental and public health regulations."}
