As some will no doubt know, the husband and wife duo of Randy and Sandy Pfeiffer were responsible for developing Qix at Taito America in the early '80s, whereas Volfied was instead built at Taito Japan and released in arcades in 1989. It was designed by the Bubble Bobble & Rainbow Islands creator Fukio Mitsuji and saw players battling enemies like giant robotic snakes and body parts, by drawing rectangles inside the level to claim areas of the map. Since its original release, it has been ported to a variety of platforms, including the PC Engine, Sega Mega Drive, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, DOS, FM Towns, PlayStation, and mobile phones. It also appeared on the PS2, Xbox, and PC compilation Taito Legends 2 and the Japan-exclusive Taito Memories II: Gekan on PS2.	<urn:uuid:c9e952b8-8994-4489-9269-452dae174457>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:42:54Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9632143378257751, "url": "https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/02/qix-successor-volfied-heading-to-arcade-archives-this-march" }

First US moon lander in half a century stops working a week after tipping over at touchdown CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since the Apollo astronauts fell silent Thursday, a week after breaking a leg at touchdown and tipping over near the lunar south pole. The end came as flight controllers received one last photo from Odysseus and commanded its computer and power systems to standby. That way, the lander can wake up in another two to three weeks — if it survives the bitterly cold lunar night. Intuitive Machines spokesman Josh Marshall said these final steps drained the lander's batteries and put Odysseus "down for a long nap." "Good night, Odie. We hope to hear from you again," the company said via X, formerly Twitter. Before losing power, Odysseus sent back what Intuitive Machines called "a fitting farewell transmission." Taken just before touchdown, the picture shows the bottom of the lander on the moon's pockmarked surface, with a tiny crescent Earth and a small sun in the background. The lander was originally intended to last about a week at the moon. Houston-based Intuitive Machines became the first private business to land a spacecraft on the moon without crashing when Odysseus touched down Feb. 22. Only five countries had achieved that since the 1960s, including Japan, which made a sideways landing last month. Odysseus carried six experiments for NASA, which paid $118 million for the ride. The first company to take part in NASA's program for commercial lunar deliveries never made it to the moon; its lander came crashing back to Earth in January. NASA views these private landers as scouts that will pave the way for astronauts due to arrive in another few years. Until Odysseus, the last U.S. moon landing was by Apollo 17's Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt in 1972. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group.

MIAMI — Florida says it will soon release the grand jury proceedings in Jeffrey Epstein's 2006 sexual abuse case. Epstein was a wealthy financier, who was charged with paying dozens of girls over many years for sex. He died in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. More than a decade earlier, a grand jury convened in Florida's Palm Beach County investigated allegations that he was sexually abusing teenage girls and young women at his estate. The grand jury ultimately returned a single charge of soliciting prostitution. Following a federal investigation, Epstein pleaded guilty in state court to two prostitution charges and received a lenient sentence. He served just 13 months in prison, leaving the jail almost every day as part of a work release deal. At a news conference in Palm Beach, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill authorizing the release of Epstein's grand jury records, calling it "long overdue." He also called for the release of records from the FBI investigation of Epstein. "I would challenge Joe Biden to do that now," he said. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions about how this happened." The Florida grand jury records are expected to be opened when the law goes into effect in July. Some of Epstein's victims were with DeSantis at the bill signing. Haley Robson was 16 years old when she was recruited and began working for Epstein. She said she hoped releasing the grand jury report will finally provide some answers. "Why was Jeffrey Epstein given such grace and mercy for his inhumane crimes? And why were we outed in the media and treated so poorly?" Epstein had several homes, often flying guests and girls to his estate on a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton and attorney Alan Dershowitz were among his high-profile guests. His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking while with Epstein. More than a decade after Epstein completed the terms of his plea deal and probation, a series of reports in the Miami Herald brought new attention to Epstein and his victims. He was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges when he was found dead in his jail cell, a death that was ruled suicide. Copyright 2024 NPR.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — A federal judge held veteran investigative reporter Catherine Herridge in civil contempt on Thursday for refusing to divulge her source for a series of Fox News stories about a Chinese American scientist who was investigated by the FBI but never charged. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington imposed a fine of $800 per day until Herridge complies, but the fine will not go into effect immediately to give her time to appeal. Cooper wrote that he "recognizes the paramount importance of a free press in our society" and the critical role of confidential sources in investigative journalism. But the judge said the court "also has its own role to play in upholding the law and safeguarding judicial authority." "Herridge and many of her colleagues in the journalism community may disagree with that decision and prefer that a different balance be struck, but she is not permitted to flout a federal court's order with impunity," wrote Cooper, who was nominated to the bench by former President Barack Obama. A lawyer for Herridge, Patrick Philbin, declined to comment. Representatives for CBS and Fox News did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The source is being sought by Yanpin Chen, who has sued the government over the leak of details about the federal probe into statements she made on immigration forms related to work on a Chinese astronaut program. Herridge, who was recently laid off by CBS News, published an investigative series for Fox News in 2017 that examined Chen's ties to the Chinese military and raised questions about whether the scientist was using a professional school she founded in Virginia to help the Chinese government get information about American servicemembers. The stories relied on what her lawyers contend were items leaked from the probe, including snippets of an FBI document summarizing an interview conducted during the investigation, personal photographs, and information taken from her immigration and naturalization forms and from an internal FBI PowerPoint presentation. Chen sued the FBI and Justice Department in 2018, saying her personal information was selectively leaked to "smear her reputation and damage her livelihood." The judge had ordered Herridge in August to answer questions about her source or sources in a deposition with Chen's lawyers. The judge ruled that Chen's need to know for the sake of her lawsuit overcomes Herridge's right to shield her source, despite the "vital importance of a free press and the critical role" that confidential sources play in journalists' work. Herridge was interviewed under oath in September by a lawyer for Chen, but declined dozens of times to answer questions about her sources, saying at one point, "My understanding is that the courts have ruled that in order to seek further judicial review in this case, I must now decline the order, and respectfully I am invoking my First Amendment rights in declining to answer the question." Philbin, who served as deputy White House counsel during the Trump administration, has said that forcing Herridge to turn over her sources "would destroy her credibility and cripple her ability to play a role in bringing important information to light for the public." Philbin also told the judge that disclosing the identity of Herridge's sources raises national security concerns, writing in court papers that there is a "serious risk" that Chen "was involved in making information about U.S. military members available" to the Chinese. Legal fights over whether journalists should have to divulge sources are rare, though they've arisen several times in the last couple decades in Privacy Act cases like the one filed by Chen. Some lawsuits have ended with a hefty Justice Department settlement in place of a journalist being forced to reveal a source, an outcome that remains possible in Herridge's case. In 2008, for instance, the Justice Department agreed to pay $5.8 million to settle a lawsuit by Army scientist Steven Hatfill, who was falsely identified as a person of interest in the 2001 anthrax attacks. That settlement resulted in a contempt order being vacated against a journalist who was being asked to name her sources. ____ Richer reported from Boston.	<urn:uuid:b7f8ccd8-356b-4ffc-a1b8-edf7c4136580>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:42:56Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9774412512779236, "url": "https://www.wsbtv.com/news/judge-holds-veteran/2SZ2BZHG2PY7XSFNW3MOTHQIO4/" }

The compilation will include slightly enhanced emulation-based reissues of the Famicom titles The Wings of Madoola, Tokaido Gojūsan-tsugi, and Ripple Island, which were successfully crowdfunded last year on the Japanese website Camp-Fire for both PC & Nintendo Switch. The games will include the added ability to create save states, as well as rewind time, and unfortunately, don't seem to be getting English localisations according to the description. You can take a look at the Steam page here for further details on each of the games. We'll let you know once it has been released in case you want to power through regardless. Original article (Fri 23rd Jun, 2023 11:30 GMT): Sunsoft has announced a new crowdfunding campaign on the Japanese website Camp-Fire to try and revive three more games from its classic library for Nintendo Switch and PC (as spotted by @Gosokkyu). These include the Famicom games The Wings of Madoola (1986), Tokaido Gojūsan-tsugi (1986), and Ripple Island (1988). Over the last year, Sunsoft has been busy reviving many of its classic properties, including the Famicom games Ikki, Gimmick!, and Ufouria: The Saga, as well as the Game Boy title Trip World. But, as stated in the latest crowdfunding campaign, it's been a long and difficult road up to this point, with a corporate shake-up a few years back at its owners Sun Corporation putting the video game company at risk, while many of its attempts to create original games for VR and modern platforms failed to make a stir. It hopes with this current campaign that it can continue to show that there's a large interest in Sunsoft's classic library and that it can produce a bunch of new revival projects that aren't just for nostalgic fans but are also great games in the modern-day. Sunsoft is hoping to raise ¥6,000,000, with the campaign being all or nothing (in other words, if it doesn't reach its target, these new releases won't happen). The money will go towards: ・Game development costs ・Production costs (design, printing, painting, manufacturing) ・Shipping costs (shipping fee, packing materials, labour costs) ・Project operation costs (labor costs) ・Crowdfunding fee Some of the rewards include Sunsoft T-Shirts, soundtracks, commemorative pins, a supporter card, a book about the history of Sunsoft, as well as some reproduced art and original illustrations. Some backers will also get the chance to visit the Sunsoft offices and take a look at several items from its archive. There's obviously no word yet on whether these games will ever come to the West (should they eventually be funded), but we'll try our best to keep you updated on the campaign's progress. It ends on the 31st of August.	<urn:uuid:b95a45bc-bcfc-44a9-b277-5540b7280eed>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:00Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9670217633247375, "url": "https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/02/sunsoft-is-back-retro-game-selection-coming-soon-to-steam" }

Attorneys representing former President Donald Trump have filed an appeal after an Illinois circuit court judge ruled that his name should be removed from the state's primary ballot because of violations of the "insurrection clause" in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ruling, issued by Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter on Wednesday, agreed with arguments made by Colorado's Supreme Court when it kicked Trump off the ballot in that state. Porter's ruling followed a determination by Illinois' State Board of Elections in January that Trump's name should remain on the ballot, but also recommended that a court make the ultimate decision in the case. Trump's attorneys filed two separate motions in the case, including an appeal of the ruling. They have asked the Illinois Appellate Court to reverse Porter's decision and to reinstate the Board of Elections' ruling in the case. Get Tri-state area news and weather forecasts to your inbox. Sign up for NBC New York newsletters. A second motion was also filed to clarify the terms of Porter's stay in the case. The ruling had been placed on hold pending the expected filing of the appeal, but Trump's attorneys are arguing that the ruling should be stayed until the appeal is decided upon, or until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a ruling in a similar case in Colorado. Porter issued a revised ruling on Thursday, saying that the decision would be put on hold until a decision is reached by the Appellate Court. That Colorado case, in which Trump's name was removed from that state's primary ballot on the same grounds, is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Porter said in her ruling that the order would be put on hold if the Supreme Court's ruling was "inconsistent" with hers. U.S. & World The Illinois Republican Party issued the following statement in reaction to Porter's Wednesday ruling. "As we've stated repeatedly, the Illinois Republican Party believes the people, not activist courts or unelected bureaucrats, should choose who represents them in the White House. This decision to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an affront to democracy and limits the voting rights of Illinois citizens," Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said. The former president's spokesperson Steven Cheung also issued a statement. "Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot," the statement read. "Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state's board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime, President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot, is dominating the polls, and will Make America Great Again!" The Supreme Court heard arguments in the Colorado case in early February, and according to legal experts cited by The New York Times and other publications, there was skepticism in the arguments made to keep the former president off the ballot. The Illinois ruling repeatedly cited findings from the Colorado case, saying that Trump's actions in the lead-up to, and on the day of Jan. 6, 2021, should be construed as insurrection, making him ineligible to hold the office of president. Colorado's Supreme Court concluded "that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section Three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the secretary to list President Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot." Trump's attorneys have disputed that characterization in appeals, saying that his actions fell well short of the 14th Amendment's definition of insurrection. They cited tweets the president had sent calling for peace in Washington amid the chaos at the Capitol, but Porter dismissed those remarks as "plausible deniability" of potential crimes. "This tweet could not possibly have had any other intended purposes besides to fan the flames. The hearing office determines that these calls to peace via social media, coming after an inflammatory tweet are the product of trying to give himself plausible deniability," the ruling read. She argued that the Capitol riot's purpose was "the furtherance of the president's plan to disrupt the electoral count taking place before the joint meeting of Congress," and therefore qualified as insurrection under the Constitution.	<urn:uuid:1475dd4e-2623-4366-8761-04dd88c284ed>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:02Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9724565148353577, "url": "https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/trump-files-appeal-after-illinois-judge-orders-name-removed-from-primary-ballot/5183395/" }

ATLANTA — A group of people who live on the west side of Atlanta say the city's crumbling sewer and stormwater infrastructure has left their homes flooded on too many occasions. Now, they are suing the city in an attempt to find a resolution. Those residents shared their stories on the steps of city hall after their attorney filed the first of what she called many lawsuits against the city of Atlanta. Kayshon Jackson was at the news conference. Afterward, he took Channel 2′s Tom Jones to his old home on Oliver Street in northwest Atlanta. That's where Jackson said he used to live, until last September. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] "Sept. 14th. Everyone here got affected," he told Channel 2 Action News. Jackson said that when torrential rains caused sewage to flood his home, and his neighbors' homes, too. 'Six feet of water. Cars were swimming right where you're standing," he pointed out. He said sewage overflows are still a problem. "And as you can see, it's still coming up," he said, pointing to a puddle of water in front of his old home. Jackson said they've been dealing with flooding even before September. He said the city has ignored the issues caused by its failing infrastructure. Back at the news conference on the steps of city hall, one resident after another shared stories of flooding from that night. "I panicked. I lost it," one woman said, describing how flood waters frightened her. Another person described how water rushed into his home, causing his family to evacuate. "As I ran through the sewage water I saw the water spilling in through the windows," Mahdi Chanel explained. Many said they've dealt with clogged storm drains and flooding for decades. "We are filing several lawsuits," attorney Meghan Jones said. She said she is filing lawsuits on behalf of about 40 residents, alleging the city has ignored their complaints and failed to repair its crumbling infrastructure. "We will be seeking damages for damage to personal property," Jones added. Jackson says the problems have gone on for too long. "It's something that should have been fixed. Hasn't been fixed."

This is the response we received from a spokesperson: "The City has a claims process to assist constituents when the weather or natural disasters impact the City's system. The claims information can be found at atlantaga.gov. Claims are normally filed with the city and home insurance to facilitate timely resolution. Many residents impacted utilized these options and this remains an option for these residents. In response to the September 14, 2023, rain event, the City received and conducted visits to approximately 117 properties, of which 31 claims have been received and are either under review or approved. Similarly, the City leveraged existing contracts for internal and external property clean-up assistance and the expanded Care & Conserve Program for eligible customers. Currently, the City projects invest roughly $600 million dollars in remaining sewer infrastructure projects within the remaining areas where projects are pending completion. Projects within the Westside of the City are currently focused on planning and implementation efforts. While it would be inappropriate to comment on any potential pending litigation, the City remains committed to completing the necessary sewer infrastructure improvements to abate sanitary sewer overflows, ensure adequate system capacity, reduce flooding and pollution caused by stormwater, and safeguard our citizens' public health and safety. A portfolio of citywide projects includes all measures required to comply with two (2) federal Consent Decrees and a State Consent Order to improve water quality throughout metro Atlanta. Thus far, the City has invested more than $2 billion in combined and separate sewer system improvements. Through the implementation of such improvements, thus far, the City has achieved 90 percent sewer separation of the City's system, completed the necessary rehabilitation of over 420 miles of sanitary sewers and has achieved capacity relief of nearly 50 percent of the collection and transmission system. The City is in compliance with its regulatory requirements and remains fully committed to implementing sustainable and resilient projects to ensure adequate system capacity, mitigate localized flooding and ensure clean water in Atlanta with the goal of creating the most eco-friendly urban creeks and streams in the country. Additionally, the Department of Watershed Management is collaborating with Federal partners like FEMA regarding properties that are situated in flood-zones and prone to repeat flooding events."

Back in 2012, Sega released Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz on the PS Vita, which contained a unique hook where players could use the console's camera to create new levels based on real-world objects. Sega pushed this concept with DLC in Japan which featured the gravure idol Yukie Kawamura. A DLC code given away free with the game unlocked stages in which Kawamura's image featured in the background, and part of the stage was a picture of her breasts – which actually formed part of the course itself. The inclusion of these levels – which were exclusive to Japan and not featured in the Western versions of the game – meant that Banana Splitz received a 'C' age rating (ages 15 and up) from CERO instead of the A one that most of the other Monkey Ball games got in that region. So, while it's not strictly "adult" content, the levels have nonetheless gained a notorious reputation over time. Now, Good Vibes Gaming presenter and former Hookshot Media staffer Jon Cartwright is doing the Lord's work by attempting to track down and preserve these levels for future generations to (ahem) "enjoy". The hope is that someone, somewhere has the data on their console still and can find a way to archive it. Still, not everyone is as convinced this is a quest worth embarking on. (In all seriousness aside, that comment did make us laugh). "Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz is packed to the rafters with great content, but lengthy load times and clunky menus break its flow," is what our friends over at Push Square said about the game back in 2012. "The original game remains the best in the series, but this is still well worth a roll."	<urn:uuid:42c22563-058f-4928-acb7-34181ff6c326>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:06Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9703153371810913, "url": "https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/02/the-dubious-quest-to-find-monkey-balls-lost-adult-levels" }

Alabama lawmakers advance plan to protect IVF clinics MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Facing public pressure to get in vitro fertilization services restarted, Alabama lawmakers moved closer to approving protections for fertility clinics that shut down after a state court ruled that frozen embryos are the legal equivalent of children. Both chambers of the Alabama Legislature advanced bills Thursday that would shield clinics from prosecution and civil lawsuits. Each bill now moves to the opposite chamber for debate. Bill sponsor Rep. Terri Collins said they are aiming to get the measure approved and to the governor on Wednesday. "This would at least keep the clinics open and the families moving forward," Collins said. She described the legislation as a temporary fix while lawmakers weigh if additional action is needed. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled in mid-February that three couples who had frozen embryos destroyed in an accident at a storage facility could pursue wrongful death lawsuits for their "extrauterine children." The ruling, treating an embryo the same as a child or gestating fetus under the wrongful death statute, raised concerns about civil liabilities for clinics. Three major providers announced a pause on IVF services. Republicans' proposal focused on lawsuit protections instead of attempting to address the legal status of embryos. The legislation would shield providers from prosecution and civil lawsuits related to the "damage to or death of an embryo" during IVF services. The bills advanced with broad bipartisan support. Representatives voted 94-6 for the proposal, and state senators voted 32-0 for it. Some Republicans said they want to consider future restriction on what happens to unused embryos. Republican Rep. Ernie Yarbrough of Trinity tried unsuccessfully to put an amendment on the bill that would prohibit clinics from intentionally discarding embryos that are unused or after genetic testing. Republican Rep. Mark Gidley of Hokes Bluff said he wants lawmakers to consider putting regulation on fertility clinics "This is what is important to me and a lot of members of this House. Understand, that once that is fertilized, it begins to grow, even though it may not be in a woman's uterus," Gidley said. A Democratic lawmaker said the state, which has a stringent abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, has spent too much time interfering with the decisions of women. "I am so tired of folks telling me as a female in Alabama what I'm going to do with my own body. It's time that we stop this," Democratic Rep. Barbara Drummond of Mobile said. She said a woman texted her this morning asking if the state would take "custody" and responsibility of her frozen embryos if they are now considered children. Democrats in the Alabama Senate had unsuccessfully tried to amend the bill to state that a human embryo outside a uterus can not be considered an unborn child or human being under state law. Sen. Linda Coleman-Madison, a Democrat from Birmingham, said that was the most direct way to deal with the issue. Republicans blocked the amendment from coming up for a vote. In their ruling, Alabama justices cited anti-abortion language added to the Alabama Constitution in 2018, saying Alabama recognizes and protects the "rights of unborn children." The constitutional amendment was approved by 59% of Alabama voters. Rep. Chris England, a Democrat from Tuscaloosa, said lawmakers may be able to provide a temporary solution through legislation but a long-term solution must address the 2018 constitutional amendment, which he said essentially established "personhood" for embryos. "There are far-reaching ramifications of personhood," England said. More than 200 IVF patients filled the Statehouse on Wednesday pressuring lawmakers to get IVF services restarted in the state. They showed lawmakers babies created through IVF treatment or described how the ruling halted their path to parenthood. LeeLee Ray underwent eight miscarriages, one ectopic pregnancy and multiple surgeries before turning to surrogacy in hopes of having a child. She and her husband found a surrogate through a matching program, but now can't have their embryos transferred to her and are unable to move their embryos out of state. "I'm just frustrated. We had a light at the end of the tunnel," Ray said Wednesday.	<urn:uuid:d84464ee-1d41-47a6-8f6d-19e8209f1e70>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:07Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9684260487556458, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/health/alabama-lawmakers-advance-plan-to-protect-ivf-clinics/" }
A few days after she began her new skin care regimen — toner, moisturizer, serum and facial mist — the skin around 13-year-old Leora's lips became red and dry. A couple days later, the rash turned yellow and crusty. "I was touching it because it was really itchy, and then I think it got infected," said Leora, whose family requested her last name not be published for privacy reasons, given that she is a minor. A dermatologist prescribed Leora a medication to alleviate irritation and advised her to stop her skin care routine and apply petroleum jelly until the rash cleared. Get Tri-state area news and weather forecasts to your inbox. Sign up for NBC New York newsletters. Then came a discussion that dermatologists say is increasingly common: "We got into a whole conversation about this new fad of preteens interested in using a lot of anti-aging products and things that they are learning about on social media," said Dr. Alexis Young, Leora's dermatologist at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. "In general for the preteen population, they're layering product upon product and not really being told how to use them," Young said. Young and six other dermatologists told NBC News that in recent months, tweens and young teenagers have been showing up at their offices in droves with red, dry, bumpy and itchy rashes after using skin care products they don't need. Some dermatologists said it happens monthly or weekly; others said they see such patients multiple times per day. Kids ages 7 to 13 are clearing the shelves at makeup stores, spending hundreds on anti-aging creams, moisturizers and acne serums from trendy and colorful brands like Drunk Elephant — which sells one Protini Polypeptide Cream every 40 seconds, according the brand's website — and Glow Recipe, which surpassed $100 million in revenue in 2021, just seven years after its founding, CNBC reported. The trend has been driven, in part, by social media, where young creators' videos about their multistep skin care routines sometimes garner millions of views. (Some adults, meanwhile, have taken to social media to vent about makeup stores becoming overrun with children.) Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe products aren't inherently harmful when used as instructed for their intended purpose, and the companies make products that tweens can tolerate. But some contain ingredients that can irritate young skin, dermatologists said. "It's a lot for parents, certainly kids, to wade through," said Dr. Brooke Jeffy, a board-certified dermatologist in Arizona. "They just maybe don't have the knowledge to know what's safe, and so it's difficult." Many Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe products come in bright pink, orange or teal packaging that can attract young customers; a promotional video from Drunk Elephant even depicts a line of travel-size products as animated cartoon characters. Like many beauty products, the brands' product labels don't usually specify an intended age range. Instead, they list the expected effects. Drunk Elephant's T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum, for example, says it "resurfaces dull, congested skin, dramatically improving the appearance of skin's tone and texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and pores." Glow Recipe's Strawberry Smooth BHA + AHA Salicylic Serum, meanwhile, says it can "gently smooth texture, clear breakouts, and refine pores, while calming skin." Each of those two products contains exfoliating acids, which the dermatologists interviewed said are among the most problematic ingredients for young people, along with retinoids. Both types of ingredients are intended to address issues like hyperpigmentation, wrinkles or acne, according to Dr. Jayden Galamgam, a dermatologist at UCLA Health. But for young skin without any problems, they may be too harsh, he said. "We have a handful of patients that get these recurrent rashes around their eyelids and around the mouth," Galamgam said, adding: "It's miserable for them. It's so itchy. It sometimes keeps them up at night. It gets bloody because they keep scratching it, and they're so embarrassed because it's on their face and it's what their friends see." In a statement, a Drunk Elephant spokesperson said "anyone with skin can use Drunk Elephant," but that "different products are appropriate for different ages." "We always recommend that parents/guardians provide guidance to their children, particularly before starting a new routine," the statement said. "In general, we do not recommend products that contain high concentration of active ingredients for our younger fans." Glow Recipe did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Young said Leora's rash was likely caused by a combination of irritating ingredients and the overexfoliating of her skin. Leora said she got interested in skin care through YouTube and her friends. Her peers want the trendy products from Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe, she said, in order to feel "preppy" and flaunt their social status. "It shows off that you have a lot of money if you buy these expensive stuff," Leora said. "There's always trends going around, and that's just how it is, and people are jealous of other people. But now I guess it's skin care." NBC asked YouTube for comment about situations like Leora's, in which teenagers get inspired to buy products that may be unhealthy for their skin via videos on its platform. In a statement, YouTube referred NBC News to the company's policies for content pertaining to harmful substances and medical misinformation. Videos about Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe products also proliferate on TikTok, which has a user base that skews young. The company did not answer questions regarding minors exposed to such content. Which ingredients can be harmful for kids? Retinoids, a group of chemical compounds derived from vitamin A, commonly cause issues for tweens and young teens who don't need them, dermatologists said. The category includes retinol, which is often found in over-the-counter products and is used to reduce signs of aging. It promotes collagen production and increases the rate that new skin cells replace dead ones. Retinoids can also treat acne. Tween skin, however, naturally produces plenty of collagen, Jeffy said. Young skin cells turn over approximately every 20 days, she added, while adult skin can take more than twice as long. So retinol is generally unnecessary for teen skin that isn't acne-prone, and it can irritate and damage the skin barrier, which acts as a first layer of defense. It can also lead to a red or brown, dry and itchy rash called retinoid dermatitis, Jeffy said. She described a tween patient who developed a rash around her eyes after applying a Drunk Elephant retinol cream: "The sad thing is, she didn't need a retinol. It's doing nothing for her, and it's giving her this rash. It may take a few months for that to totally fade." When asked about the anecdote, Drunk Elephant referred NBC News to its statement and to the "Younger Fans" section of the FAQ page on its website. Exfoliating hydroxy acids, meanwhile, cause the surface layer of skin to peel to promote new cell growth, according to the Food and Drug Administration. But since young skin renews quickly, these acids may damage the skin barrier, causing irritation, sun sensitivity, burning and rashes. Dr. Claire Wolinsky, a dermatologist at Spring Street Dermatology in New York City, said her 11-year-old niece's skin became red and sensitive after using a Watermelon Glow toner from Glow Recipe that contained beta-hydroxy and polyhydroxy acids. "Using a chemical exfoliant, multiple of them in your regimen, it's just going to lead to irritation," Wolinsky said. "For a kid with perfect skin, it feels like a bad choice." How can parents protect kids' skin? Dr. Carol Chen, a pediatric dermatologist and associate professor at UCLA, said she recommends that children without skin issues keep it simple: a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. "If there's nothing to fix, I wouldn't fix it," she said. If a child insists on additional products, parents should avoid retinol and exfoliating hydroxy acids. Both ingredients can appear on labels with a variety of names — including retinyl acetate or all-trans retinoic acid for the former, and glycolic, lactic or citric acid for the latter. If there's any doubt about a product, Chen said, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist. Her advice to young people: "Don't try to go out and try to find something wrong with your skin."

ATLANTA — In a Channel 2 Action News exclusive, an Atlanta mom says after her son, a star athlete, died of a fentanyl overdose, she's hoping her family will be able to get justice. Angela King, the mother of University of Georgia student Jack O'Kelley, told Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne that drugs caused the most devastating moment of her family's lives. King said her son Jack was a straight-A student and a former captain of the North Atlanta High football team, where he played quarterback, as well as a captain of the lacrosse team. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] In November, he died of a fentanyl overdose. King said she believes he swallowed a counterfeit Xanax pill, not knowing what it contained while home for Thanksgiving break last fall. "When we found out there was fentanyl in the pill that Jack took, there was a real sense of rage and anger for the inhumanity, the evil," King said. Atlanta Police Sgt. Jarius Daugherty told Channel 2 Action News that an Atlanta Police Homicide Detective investigating Jack O'Kelley's overdose death obtained the victim's cellphone from his father. APD then went through the phone and found a conversation where he'd placed an order for what he wanted with someone listed in the phone as AB, allegedly Abram Rincon, and in the ensuing weeks, an undercover officer made buys from Rincon. Those buys helped APD Narcotics get a search warrant for Rincon's apartment, which was executed Monday. TRENDING STORIES: - Mom who let son ride in trunk in viral video says there's more to the story - Georgia beach has been named one of Best U.S. Beaches for 2024 - House committee passes immigration bill days after nursing student's killing on UGA campus APD said investigators seized illegal hallucinogenic mushrooms, pills that look like Xanax, mushroom chocolate bars, tetrahydrocannabinol pens, 4,550 edibles, THC wax, a bottle of promethazine, M30 pills, moon rocks and more than 35 pounds of marijuana. They also found and seized eight guns, including two shotguns, rifles and two pistols, along with a bulletproof vest. Rincon's attorney Jay Abt told Winne by phone that Rincon's not guilty and "We look forward to our day in court." Abt said Rincon has five drug sale counts pending, but drug trafficking and gun charges were dismissed. Rincon was released on a signature bond. Abt said no mention of an overdose death was made at the first appearance where these things happened. King said her 20-year-old son Jack, whom the family did not know dabbled in drugs, didn't answer the phone, so his father Mike O'Kelley went over to check on him. "[he] called me screaming shortly thereafter that Jack wasn't waking up. He had one of the other boys call 911 and I drove over there and Mike said he's gone, he's screaming," King told Channel 2 Action News. Atlanta police Narcotics Lt. Robert Albertini said the Xanax-looking pills seized from Rincon's apartment haven't been lab tested yet, but they resemble other pills, counterfeit Xanax, that APD has seized in other recent cases which did contain fentanyl. "I really wanted to thank APD for the tremendous work that [the] Homicide and Narcotics Division, that they've done," King said. However, King told Winne that she's outraged Rincon got bond. The Fulton County District Attorney's Office said that it is too, that the Magistrate and Prosecutor at the initial appearance did not have all of the warrants in front of them, leading to the dismissal of two serious charges and Rincon not having to post any money to get out on bond, but those charges can still be brought. Chief Magistrate Judge Cassandra Kirk said she's investigating, but it appears the system broke down before Rincon got to court. The DA's office said it is still investigating the death aspect of the case. In a similar vein, new legislation proposed in the Georgia General Assembly would create new charges and penalties in cases where someone is given a controlled substance, counterfeit substance or imitation controlled substance. If the person receiving the substances dies, the person who gave it to them could face charges for committing aggravated involuntary manslaughter. As previously reported by Channel 2 Action News, the bill sets higher penalties for violators of the proposed bill, saying that "someone who commits the offense of aggravated involuntary manslaughter when he or she causes the death of another human being, without the intent to cause the death of said human being, by intentionally manufacturing, delivering, distributing or selling any substance that is, in fact, a controlled substance, counterfeit substance or imitation controlled substance" would face between 10 to 30 years in prison, with a life sentence also on the table, if convicted. The bill would also keep the crime of aggravated involuntary manslaughter separate from other offenses, instead counting as its own offense at trial or upon arrest.

In this week's Z-Club livestream, Zuiki gave a long-awaited update on some of the software coming to the X68000 Z — its miniature version of Sharp's X68000 16-bit home computer. In case you're unaware, the X68000 Z does include a built-in emulator that allows you to load up and play your pre-existing games on the machine, but will also be home to a bunch of retro reissues that have been specifically designed to run on the X68000 Z. Last month, for instance, saw the release of The Exact Perfect Collection (across Beep, Amazon Japan, and other storefronts), while Game Collection Vol. 1 — a 5-game compilation — came pre-packaged with the main console unit on an SD card. As Ashley Day noted in our review, despite coming on an SD Card, only a single title included in the Game Collection Vol. 1 was actually available to play upon first getting the console, with the others instead being listed as "coming soon". That number has since grown to two, with Arcus Odyssey joining the two different versions of Mad Stalker made available last year. Here's a list of the software Zuiki announced dates for: - Granada May 2024 - FZ Senki Axis May 2024 - Game Launcher for Midi-Compatible Games June 2024 - Lagoon Summer 2024 - Genocide Summer 2024 - Murder Club DX (Game Collection Vol. 1) Summer 2024 - Kiss of Murder Autumn 2024 - Manhattan Requiem Autumn 2024 - Nostalgia 1907 (Game Collection Vol. 1) Autumn 2024 - Sol Feace Winter Winter 2024 - Valis II Winter 2024 - Shooting68K Z-Edition Winter 2024 And here is a list of software that is yet to get a release date: - Robot Construction R.C. - Keeper - Gradius II - Salamander - Twin Bee - Detana!!

Missouri is suing Planned Parenthood based on a conservative group's sting video ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri's attorney general filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing Planned Parenthood of illegally taking minors into Kansas to obtain abortions without parental consent, basing the allegation on a video from a conservative group that has promoted false claims on other issues. Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey's lawsuit accuses Kansas City, Missouri-based Planned Parenthood Great Plains of violating Missouri law, which makes it illegal to "intentionally cause, aid, or assist a minor to obtain an abortion" without consent from a parent or guardian. The lawsuit filed in state district court in Columbia, Missouri, asks the court to stop Planned Parenthood from engaging in the conduct it alleges. Bailey's lawsuit provides no evidence of the actions alleged outside of a hidden camera video from a conservative group, Project Veritas. The video is of a conversation between Planned Parenthood employees and someone impersonating someone seeking an abortion for a fictitious 13-year-old. Project Veritas is known for conducting such hidden camera stings. Earlier this month, it acknowledged that claims it made in a video alleging ballot mishandling at a Pennsylvania post office in 2020 were untrue as it settled a lawsuit against the group by a postmaster. In 2021, a Project Veritas video fueled a false claim online that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine contains aborted fetal cells. Planned Parenthood Great Plains President and CEO Emily Wales said the lawsuit is based on false information. She said in a statement that Planned Parenthood does not provide any form of transportation for patients. Besides, she said, Kansas law requires minor patients seeking abortion services to have parental consent or to show an order from a Kansas judge authorizing it. "We will continue following state and federal laws and proudly providing Missourians with the compassionate sexual and reproductive care that remains available to them in a state with a total abortion ban," Wales said. Project Veritas did not immediately respond Thursday to a telephone message or email seeking comment. Missouri is among several conservative-led states that adopted restrictive abortion laws in 2022, after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision establishing the nationwide right to abortion. State law prohibits almost all abortions, except in cases of "medical emergencies." GOP lawmakers and state officials have long been at odds with Planned Parenthood. The Republican-led Missouri House on Wednesday gave initial approval to a bill that would bar Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood. Weeks earlier, the Missouri Supreme Court thwarted a previous attempt to end that funding. Bailey said in a statement it is time to "eradicate Planned Parenthood once and for all." Bailey's lawsuit, based on the Project Vertias video, alleges that Planned Parenthood employees said they could take the girl to a Kansas clinic without parental knowledge, using a doctor's note written by someone at Planned Parenthood to get the girl out of school. "This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri. What they conceal and conspire to do in the dark of night has now been uncovered," Bailey said. Bailey did not say whether he planned to file criminal charges against Planned Parenthood over the conduct the lawsuit alleges. His spokesperson said the office's investigation is ongoing but did not immediately respond to a question about whether criminal charges could be coming. But Wales said the Project Veritas video "is heavily doctored and edited." She called the lawsuit "a press release dressed up as legal action from an unelected attorney general." The lawsuit also asks the court to prohibit Planned Parenthood from referring minors for abortions, providing doctor's notes for minors, paying for lodging for out-of-state abortions for minors, or coordinating with others for any of those activities. Democratic House Minority Leader Crystal Quade told reporters that she believes that Bailey's action "falls in the bucket again of another lawsuit just to try to get some headlines in an election year." ___ Hanna reported from Topeka, Kansas. Summer Ballentine in Jefferson City, Missouri, contributed to this report.	<urn:uuid:558afce4-964c-4122-a267-c4e8eb0b5e1c>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:13Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9493232369422913, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/health/missouri-is-suing-planned-parenthood-based-on-a-conservative-groups-sting-video/" }

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Animal cruelty cases are increasing in Cobb County this year. Stephen Hammond, Director of Cobb County Animal Services, said investigators are responding to more incidents than usual. "Last year we worked 57 animal cruelty cases with 17 arrests, this year so far we've worked 16 cases with two arrests and we have nine arrests pending," Hammond told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell that the most common cases were abandonment cases. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] "We do see a lot of starvation cases and abandonments. We attribute those to people that are either ignorant of the resources that we have or they just don't know what to do," Hammond said. Hammond said there's no rhyme or reason for some of the cases. "We had three dogs that were poisoned. Looks like it was purposeful and all three died," Hammond told Channel 2 Action News. TRENDING STORIES: - Parents find note in daughter's book bag; 80-year-old relative now charged with child molestation - Student found stabbed in Gwinnett high school bathroom, rushed to hospital, district says - Mom who let son ride in trunk in viral video says there's more to the story In another case, Hammond said someone left their dog in a cage and threw it in the river. "These are heartbreaking cases. It's very alarming because it shows a trend or a change in society. It may be today it's animal cruelty, tomorrow it could be child mistreatment, elder abuse. If we are seeing a trend in this we can see a trend in other crimes," Hammond said. He said his team is on track to double the number of cruelty cases this year, compared to last year. "With the cases increasing it's only going to get worse. But we are dependent upon the manpower of the police department to have another investigator. Part of our budget request we have asked for a second investigator," Hammond explained. Hammond said most of the animals in cruelty cases do survive. "It does impact the shelter because those animals come here and we have to nurse them back to health. So that increases our numbers in the shelter and right now we are seeing [a] record number of animals that come into the shelter," Hammond said.

Front month soybean futures rallied further at the open, to nearly 20c gains. Futures have since faded back to a mixed midday. Old crop futures are trading fractionally to 4 ¾ cents weaker, while new crop futures are holding 2 cent gains. Soymeal futures have also flipped 180 into the midday prints, now down $3.40 on the day from the earlier $5 gains. Soy oil futures are holding 55 points in the black so far. USDA announced a private export sale for 123k MT of old crop soybeans to unknown destinations. Dr. Cordonnier released his preliminary US soybean supply estimates for 24/25, expecting a 52 bpa national average yield on 87.5m acres for a 4.5 billion bushel crop. Brazil's soybean harvest was marked at 40% complete by consulting firm AgRural, that was up from 33% at the same point last year. Indonesia's Palm Oil Association expects the 2024 biodiesel consumption will be between 12.5 and 13m kL from 12.2m kL last year. That could hinder palm oil exports, by up to 4%. USDA's weekly Export Inspections data showed 974,977 MT of soybeans were exported during the week that ended 2/22. That was down 316k MT from the week prior, but was up 209k MT from the same week last year. USDA also picked up over 100k MT of beans for past reports, taking the accumulated export total to 33.05 MMT – which remains 21.6% behind last year at this time. Mar 24 Soybeans are at $11.32 1/4, down 3 3/4 cents, Nearby Cash is at $10.82, down 2 3/4 cents, May 24 Soybeans are at $11.43 1/4, down 2 cents, Jul 24 Soybeans are at $11.54 1/2, down 3/4 cent, On the date of publication, Alan Brugler did not have (either directly or indirectly) positions in any of the securities mentioned in this article.

Alaska governor threatens to veto education package that he says doesn't go far enough JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy has threatened to veto an education package overwhelmingly passed by lawmakers after a bruising debate, saying it lacks provisions he favors, including a pilot program offering annual bonuses of up to $15,000 as a way to attract and keep teachers. Dunleavy, a former educator, said this week that there is still time for lawmakers to address issues like the proposed bonuses and changes to the application process for charter schools aimed at promoting such schools. The governor has 15 days, excluding Sundays, to act on a bill sent to him if the Legislature is in session. He can sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature. A decision is expected by March 14. Some key lawmakers say the package was a compromise and question whether the state can afford the bonuses — or even if they'd work. Debate over education funding has dominated this legislative session. The House last week voted 38-2 to support a compromise package that included a $175-million increase in aid to districts through a school funding formula; a state education department position dedicated to supporting charter schools; additional funding for K-3 students who need reading help; and language encouraging districts to use some of the funding for teacher salaries and retention bonuses. The vote followed a period of intense debate that also showed divisions within the Republican-led majority. The Senate, led by a bipartisan coalition, agreed 18-1 on Monday to support the package, sending it to Dunleavy. The compromise stemmed from negotiations after the House failed to support bringing up for debate a version of the bill that advanced from the House Rules Committee. That version included Dunleavy's bonus plan, charter provisions and a roughly $80 million increase in state aid through the formula. After the bill passed the House, Republican Speaker Cathy Tilton said that while the compromise "fell short" of the earlier proposal, "I'd still call it a 'qualified' success." School officials had sought a roughly $360 million increase in funding, citing the impact of inflation and high energy and insurance costs. But the state, which relies heavily on oil and earnings from Alaska's nest-egg oil-wealth fund, has struggled with deficits over the last decade, and some lawmakers questioned whether that amount was realistic. The Legislature approved a one-time, $175 million boost last year, but Dunleavy vetoed half that. Lawmakers did not have enough votes for an override. Dunleavy has cast the bonuses and support of charter schools as a way of doing things differently. He has questioned whether simply increasing funding to districts will improve student performance. He has proposed paying teachers bonuses of $5,000 to $15,000 a year over three years, with the highest amount for those in the most remote areas. Estimates suggest the program could cost about $55 million a year. The language in the education package encouraging districts to use some of the funds for bonuses "does not ensure the desired ends are realized," Dunleavy spokesperson Grant Robinson said by email Thursday. Republican Senate President Gary Stevens told reporters this week that there is a limit to what the state can afford. A revised revenue forecast is expected by mid-March, and lawmakers haven't even begun publicly debating how big this year's dividend payout to residents from oil-wealth fund earnings should be — typically one of the most contentious debates of the session. Sen. Bill Wielechowski, an Anchorage Democrat, raised questions about how well bonuses might work. He said he thinks there's a "fair expectation" that teachers from overseas or the Lower 48 would leave after the three years is up. He said the level of support for the compromise bill was "pretty unheard of these days" for a controversial measure. Tom Klaameyer, president of NEA-Alaska, a teachers' union, said if Dunleavy vetoes the education package, "then our schools remain in crisis." The measure "was simply a life preserver that was being thrown or could have been thrown to schools to stem the crisis," he said. He added: "We're saying, throw the life preserver."	<urn:uuid:495efa7b-d613-47d2-9282-29ba48271c50>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:26Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9727509021759033, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/alaska-governor-threatens-to-veto-education-package-that-he-says-doesnt-go-far-enough/" }
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Two police officers in DeKalb County have warrants out for their arrests for their roles in the shooting death of an unarmed man in his own home. Former DeKalb police officer Russell Mathis and Officer Jordan Vance have until 5 p.m. on Friday to turn themselves in. DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston's Office told Channel 2′s Steve Gehlbach that they worked out arrangements with attorneys for both officers. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Boston announced on Wednesday that the officers had been indicted for the shooting death of Marando Salmon, 37, in November 2022. "There were several body cam footage of the incident, so we were able to review exactly what happened," Boston said. Around 11 p.m., the officers were called to a report of a stolen car in the driveway of a home on Autumn Crest Court. Prosecutors say that after knocking and finding the front door open, they went inside and found Salmon in an upstairs bedroom. "In a matter of seconds, Officer Mathis opened fire, shooting and killing Mr. Salmon," Boston said. She says Salmon was sitting on the bed with something in his hand, but was unarmed. "Mr. Salmon had thrown a cell phone at Mathis. Mathis believed it was a knife," Boston explained.

"I'm not stating that they lied, I'm just stating that the evidence is not consistent," the DA said. A holstered gun, which was owned legally, was later found in Mathis' bedroom. The DA said her office has been in contact with loved ones throughout the investigation. So far, the family has not wanted to speak publicly. According to records, Mathis resigned from the police force voluntarily in May of last year. Vance is still working as an officer. Channel 2 Action News reached out to the DeKalb County Police Department for a statement and have not heard back.

Court worker serving an eviction notice and an officer were fatally shot in Missouri, police say INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — A court employee and a police officer were fatally shot Thursday after the court process server tried to serve an eviction notice at a home in Missouri, authorities said. A second officer was critically injured, but is expected to survive, police said. Independence Police Chief Adam Dustman said Thursday afternoon at a news conference that two of his police officers were met with gunfire while coming to the aid of Drexel Mack, the man who had been trying to serve the eviction notice. Mack had called 911 saying he had been shot, Dustman said. The officers responded at about 1:10 p.m. and approached Mack to help him when someone shot at them, he said. "I'm very tragically sorry to report that we lost one of our own," Dustman said, identifying the officer as Cody Allen. The second officer, whose name wasn't released, underwent surgery and is expected to recover, Dustman said. Dustman called Allen a hero and described the police department as a "broken family," over Allen's death. A male suspect was in custody and sustained minor injuries, Corporal Justin Ewing with Missouri State Highway Patrol said during an earlier news conference. Independence Police Department spokesperson Officer Jack Taylor said no details were immediately available about what led to the shooting. Mack had worked for Jackson County for over a decade, officials said. "We are devastated that a court employee, who is a public servant, was shot by a member of the public while performing their job," Presiding Judge Jalilah Otto said in a statement. "Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts are with our employee, our entire Court family, and the Independence Police Department." Helicopter video from KMBC-TV showed emergency vehicles converged around an isolated house in the middle of a field. The media was cordoned off in an area about 1 mile (1.61 kilometers) from the crime scene. The area was a mixture of woods and farmland with a smattering of houses on large, multi-acre lots. A church was mixed in among the houses. Independence is a suburb of Kansas City, with about 122,000 residents.	<urn:uuid:9b952a01-2234-4c77-9268-5680f0d5099b>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:33Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9904234409332275, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/court-worker-serving-an-eviction-notice-and-an-officer-were-fatally-shot-in-missouri-police-say/" }

Caitlin Clark has one more regular season game at Iowa before the Big Ten Tournament, the NCAA Tournament and, as she announced Thursday, the WNBA. If you want to see it, it will cost you. According to secondary market seller TickPick via the Washington Post, the average purchase price for a ticket to No. 6 Iowa's regular season finale against No. 2 Ohio State is $546, the most expensive price on record for a women's basketball game in either the college or professional ranks. The price to just get into Carver-Hawkeye Arena, capacity 15,000, is $309 on SeatGeek as of Thursday afternoon. Those numbers break a record Clark already hold, as the previous most expensive game was $394 for the Michigan-Iowa game in which Clark broke the NCAA career scoring record. The Post notes a used ticket from that game recently sold on eBay for $347. It was already well-established fact that Clark draws eyeballs and dollars unlike any woman college basketball has ever seen. The anticipation recently led to the Big Ten women's basketball tournament in Minneapolis selling out for the first time ever, and the NCAA Tournament figures to see similar demand. On the TV side, Clark is on another level. The most-watched women's basketball games (college or pro) ever aired by ABC, the Big Ten Network, Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC and Peacock are all Iowa games featuring Clark, per the Big Ten. Clark has, at most, 10 games remaining in her college career. Clearly, the powers-at-be will be trying to get the most out of her before she becomes the WNBA's opportunity.	<urn:uuid:8048d3e6-ba3c-4c1f-8923-1b62e0fa8a52>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:35Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9678464531898499, "url": "https://www.kkyx.com/news/national/caitlin-clarks-last/Z35XBLZZPHAAJ5KWADDOLYKMGA/" }

Delaware judge cites 'evil' and 'extreme cruelty' in sentencing couple for torturing their sons DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware woman who was convicted of torturing her two stepsons with the knowledge and help of their father was sentenced Thursday to 106 years in prison by a judge who called the abuse "the most extensive and persistent evil" he has ever seen. Mary Vinson, 46, pleaded guilty last year to 30 felony counts including kidnapping, child abuse, strangulation and reckless endangering. She had faced a minimum sentence of 30 years and a maximum of 444 years. "I didn't want to hurt them," Vinson said before sentencing, taking issue with the litany of horrors outlined by prosecutor Erik Towne and with the state's suggestion that she was "a monster." "It didn't start out that way," she said. "I loved those boys like they were my own." The boys' father, Charles Vinson, 37, was also sentenced Thursday, to 49 years. He pleaded guilty to 12 felony counts and had faced a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 158 years. Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Clarke rejected defense requests to impose the minimum sentences, citing among other things the extreme cruelty of the crimes. Video from surveillance cameras that monitored the large closet where the boys were kept naked and starving in horrific conditions did not tell the entire story of their suffering, the judge said. "It will be impossible for them to forget the evil done to them," said Clarke, who refused a prosecution request to show some of the video excerpts in court. "They will carry this with them for the rest of their lives." Defense attorney John Malik said Charles Vinson did not like conflict and felt manipulated by his wife: "He was in the middle between his wife and his kids, and admits that he failed his sons." The judge noted that, while Charles Vinson was not the primary offender, he enabled the abuse, facilitated it and sometimes participated. Charle Vinson said he took full responsibility for his actions and accepted the consequences of his "poor decisions" regarding his sons. "I failed them, and I feel ashamed of myself to be called a father," Vinson said. According to prosecutors, the boys were abused over a period of 20 months starting in early 2020. One was 9 to 10 years old at the time, while the other was abused between the ages of 11 and 13. Both were hospitalized several times for severe malnutrition, with one requiring a hospital stay of almost a month. The Division of Family Services finally took custody of the boys in October 2021. Authorities said the abuse included making the boys stand motionless for long periods of time, withholding food and water, force-feeding, and beating and strangling them. Prosecutor Kristin Dewalt said they were forced to wash themselves with the same water used to clean up their urine and feces. "The torture Mrs. Vinson inflicted on these children is almost indescribable," Towne said. Mark Hudson, representing the Office of the Child Advocate, said the boys are in foster care and doing markedly better, but they are still dealing with issues. Attempts at placing them with permanent families have proven unsuccessful, he said, with potential adopting parents declining to move forward after learning of the boys' history.	<urn:uuid:6b10ce07-05d2-44af-ac41-f6f3c10fb147>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:39Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9893606305122375, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/delaware-judge-cites-evil-and-extreme-cruelty-in-sentencing-couple-for-torturing-their-sons/" }
Caitlin Clark has one more regular season game at Iowa before the Big Ten Tournament, the NCAA Tournament and, as she announced Thursday, the WNBA. If you want to see it, it will cost you. According to secondary market seller TickPick via the Washington Post, the average purchase price for a ticket to No. 6 Iowa's regular season finale against No. 2 Ohio State is $546, the most expensive price on record for a women's basketball game in either the college or professional ranks. The price to just get into Carver-Hawkeye Arena, capacity 15,000, is $309 on SeatGeek as of Thursday afternoon. Those numbers break a record Clark already hold, as the previous most expensive game was $394 for the Michigan-Iowa game in which Clark broke the NCAA career scoring record. The Post notes a used ticket from that game recently sold on eBay for $347. It was already well-established fact that Clark draws eyeballs and dollars unlike any woman college basketball has ever seen. The anticipation recently led to the Big Ten women's basketball tournament in Minneapolis selling out for the first time ever, and the NCAA Tournament figures to see similar demand. On the TV side, Clark is on another level. The most-watched women's basketball games (college or pro) ever aired by ABC, the Big Ten Network, Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC and Peacock are all Iowa games featuring Clark, per the Big Ten. Clark has, at most, 10 games remaining in her college career. Clearly, the powers-at-be will be trying to get the most out of her before she becomes the WNBA's opportunity.	<urn:uuid:e25c31d2-75be-483f-9044-ca941bb773b7>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:40Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9678464531898499, "url": "https://www.wsbtv.com/news/national/caitlin-clarks-last/Z35XBLZZPHAAJ5KWADDOLYKMGA/" }
On Thursday, the NHL fined Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe and Buffalo Sabres coach Don Granato $25,000 for "unprofessional conduct directed at the officials." The pair are the second and third coaches, respectively, to receive fines for conduct towards officials, and join Anaheim Ducks coach Greg Cronin in that distinction. He was fined in October. The fines will go towards the NHL Foundation. Keefe and Granato both took exception to situations that occurred during their respective Tuesday games. Granato disagreed with Sabres forward Zach Benson being called for a tripping penalty on Florida Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola in Buffalo's 3-2 loss. The issue eventually resulted in a third-period bench minor at 9:01. The Panthers then used the ensuing 5-on-3 power play to score the game-winning goal. "At some point, you've got to stand up for your team," Granato said via ESPN. "You're put in that position as a coach. It's a tough position to be in. But you can't sit and watch." Keefe was more subdued when discussing his interactions with the officials. During the Maple Leafs' 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, Keefe got into it with referee Garrett Rank. That eventually led to Keefe receiving a game misconduct with only 2:14 left in the contest. Toronto came into the game with a seven-game winning streak. "Not going there, not going there," Keefe said when asked to discussed where this placed with other disputes he's had with referees.	<urn:uuid:669fc9e7-4a87-4466-8e6f-45930ebb0a36>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:42Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9772385358810425, "url": "https://www.kkyx.com/news/national/leafs-sheldon-keefe/MJQBOIO2DOIGG2VZVDZMRKRLAU/" }

Georgia House passes bill requiring police to help arrest immigrants after student's killing ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia House Republicans are backing a bill that would require every eligible police and sheriff's department to help identify undocumented immigrants, arrest them and detain them for deportation. The House voted 97-74 on Thursday for House Bill 1105 after police accused a Venezuelan man of beating a nursing student to death on the University of Georgia campus. The measure moves to the state Senate for more debate. Jose Ibarra was arrested Friday on murder and assault charges in the Thursday death of 22-year-old Laken Riley. Ibarra, 26, is a Venezuelan citizen who immigration authorities say unlawfully crossed into the United States in 2022. It is unclear whether he has applied for asylum. Riley was a nursing student at Augusta University's Athens campus, after starting her college career at the Athens campus of the University of Georgia. She was found dead Feb. 22 after a roommate reported that she didn't return from a morning run in a wooded area. The bill would also set new requirements for how jail officials should check with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to determine whether people are known to be in the country illegally. Republican state Rep. Jesse Petrea of Savannah said that clause is needed to enforce existing state law requiring sheriffs to check with ICE on people who don't appear to be American citizens. "Fixing policy in the face of unspeakable tragedy is not politics," said Rep. Houston Gaines, an Athens Republican. "It's doing the right thing to ensure something like this never occurs again." Sheriffs deny they are disregarding the law to check with ICE. The bill would make sheriffs who don't check immigration status guilty of a misdemeanor. The bill would also deny state funding to jails and sheriffs that don't cooperate. Democrats warned the bill would cause people to be detained for long periods, would separate parents born elsewhere from U.S.-born children and spark distrust of police in immigrant communities. They said it was rooted in a false narrative that immigrants bring crime, citing studies that show immigrants are less likely to be arrested. "We want justice for what happened to Laken Riley. We don't want violent people who are here legally or not legally to be on the streets," said Rep. Esther Panitch, a Sandy Springs Democrat. "But this bill won't do it. This bill won't close our borders. It will not make us safer, and it will not make women safer." The law would move Georgia closer to states with more aggressive immigration laws like Texas, which starting in March will allow police to arrest migrants who enter the state illegally and give local judges the authority to order them out of the country. Georgia itself passed a prior harsh law cracking down on immigration in 2011, although it later backed away from parts of it. Rep. Pedro Marin, a Duluth Democrat who is the longest-serving Latino member of the House, said he has seen people capitalize on fear of foreigners before. "I have witnessed again and again, ambitious representatives and senators use fear as a strategy to attain and maintain electoral office," Marin said. But Rep. Rey Martinez, a Latino Republican from Loganville, said his party is only targeting criminals. "We're not after the immigrants. We're not. We're not after them," Martinez said. "What we are after is these folks who commit crime. That's what we're after." Petrea added pointed criticism of Ibarra: "He said he was here for asylum. He was here for assault." The requirement to help ICE would require eligible cities and counties to apply for what is known as a 287(g) agreement to let local officers enforce immigration law. It's unclear how many would be accepted — President Joe Biden's administration has de-emphasized the program. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center in July counted six of 159 Georgia counties with 287(g) agreements with ICE. Five of those are only in jails. Oconee County, an Athens suburb, serves warrants for immigration violations and deportation orders. State agencies also cooperate with ICE. At least three Georgia counties dropped jail-based cooperation with ICE, according to the center, including two big suburban Atlanta counties where it was major campaign issue — Gwinnett County and Cobb County. "This program ripped apart families, children and families," said House Democratic Whip Sam Park of Lawrenceville. But Petrea said local assistance to is needed. "Not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities endangers public safety and it makes a mockery out of our nation's immigration laws, period," he said.	<urn:uuid:2cc000a5-2f00-47f8-a608-1250c57325c0>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:45Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9747958779335022, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/georgia-house-passes-bill-requiring-police-to-help-arrest-immigrants-after-students-killing/" }

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt will deliver Republicans' response to the 2024 State of the Union, lawmakers announced on Thursday. Britt, at 42, is the youngest female senator and the first woman elected to the post from Alabama. She announced the response plan in a joint statement with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. "The Republican Party is the party of hardworking parents and families, and I'm looking forward to putting this critical perspective front and center," Britt said. In a further announcement on X, Britt said "We'll have a candid conversation about the future of our nation — and I'll outline the Republican vision to secure the American Dream for generations to come." I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to speak directly to my fellow Americans on March 7. We'll have a candid conversation about the future of our nation—and I'll outline the Republican vision to secure the American Dream for generations to come. pic.twitter.com/QN9q2eJUL1— Senator Katie Boyd Britt (@SenKatieBritt) February 29, 2024 Sen. McConnell praised Britt in the announcement, saying "she's wasted no time becoming a leading voice in the fight to secure a stronger American future and leave years of Washington Democrats' failures behind." Britt's delivery of the speech has echoes of the response delivered last year by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. In it, Gov. Sanders criticized President Joe Biden's age and said "It's time for a new generation of Republican leadership." Britt's address is expected to follow President Biden's State of the Union Address on Thursday, March 7. The specifics of the presidential address generally aren't shared ahead of time, but this year it is expected to touch on major issues such as the U.S. response to the Israel-Hamas war, recent changes to the legal landscape of women's reproductive health and the 2024 presidential election.

Lawmakers plan new fund to pay for postsecondary training – money to come in 2025 A bill that would have expanded a college scholarship program was changed Thursday to create a separate fund for post-secondary training instead. Lawmakers will decide on the details of this new fund in 2025. Some lawmakers raised concerns about fundamentally changing the purpose of the 21st Century Scholars program. Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Ryan Mishler (R-Mishawaka) addressed those concerns with an amendment creating a new fund to pay for post-secondary training. "We'll create a new fund which would give time during the next budget cycle to fund that fund," he said. Lawmakers will create this new program next year when they write the state's new two-year budget. HB 1001 would also expand a scholarship program for students with disabilities to include their siblings, despite concerns from several Democrats.

The Indiana Education Scholarship Account Program provides money to students with disabilities to pay for tutoring, educational programs, therapies and other support. The bill would make ESA funds available to the siblings of students who have disabilities, even if those siblings do not have disabilities themselves. Sen. Fady Qaddoura (D-Indianapolis) asked the committee to hold off on the ESA expansion. He said the program started in 2021 and lawmakers need more time to evaluate how it's working. Qaddoura also said that if lawmakers expand the program now, there might not be enough money there for the students the accounts were originally created for. "The dollars are limited," he said. "We will have a future by which folks who are benefiting from the ESA are going to come back and say there's not enough money in that pot." However, the committee defeated Qaddoura's amendment. The bill now goes to the full Senate.	<urn:uuid:d490bfb1-af4a-4589-990c-1faf0c5632f9>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:47Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9691261053085327, "url": "https://www.wboi.org/2024-02-29/lawmakers-plan-new-fund-to-pay-for-postsecondary-training-money-to-come-in-2025" }
Alaska governor threatens to veto education package that he says doesn't go far enough Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy has threatened to veto an education package overwhelmingly passed by lawmakers JUNEAU, Alaska -- Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy has threatened to veto an education package overwhelmingly passed by lawmakers after a bruising debate, saying it lacks provisions he favors, including a pilot program offering annual bonuses of up to $15,000 as a way to attract and keep teachers. Dunleavy, a former educator, said this week that there is still time for lawmakers to address issues like the proposed bonuses and changes to the application process for charter schools aimed at promoting such schools. The governor has 15 days, excluding Sundays, to act on a bill sent to him if the Legislature is in session. He can sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature. A decision is expected by March 14. Some key lawmakers say the package was a compromise and question whether the state can afford the bonuses — or even if they'd work. Debate over education funding has dominated this legislative session. The House last week voted 38-2 to support a compromise package that included a $175-million increase in aid to districts through a school funding formula; a state education department position dedicated to supporting charter schools; additional funding for K-3 students who need reading help; and language encouraging districts to use some of the funding for teacher salaries and retention bonuses. The vote followed a period of intense debate that also showed divisions within the Republican-led majority. The Senate, led by a bipartisan coalition, agreed 18-1 on Monday to support the package, sending it to Dunleavy. The compromise stemmed from negotiations after the House failed to support bringing up for debate a version of the bill that advanced from the House Rules Committee. That version included Dunleavy's bonus plan, charter provisions and a roughly $80 million increase in state aid through the formula. After the bill passed the House, Republican Speaker Cathy Tilton said that while the compromise "fell short" of the earlier proposal, "I'd still call it a 'qualified' success." School officials had sought a roughly $360 million increase in funding, citing the impact of inflation and high energy and insurance costs. But the state, which relies heavily on oil and earnings from Alaska's nest-egg oil-wealth fund, has struggled with deficits over the last decade, and some lawmakers questioned whether that amount was realistic. The Legislature approved a one-time, $175 million boost last year, but Dunleavy vetoed half that. Lawmakers did not have enough votes for an override. Dunleavy has cast the bonuses and support of charter schools as a way of doing things differently. He has questioned whether simply increasing funding to districts will improve student performance. He has proposed paying teachers bonuses of $5,000 to $15,000 a year over three years, with the highest amount for those in the most remote areas. Estimates suggest the program could cost about $55 million a year. The language in the education package encouraging districts to use some of the funds for bonuses "does not ensure the desired ends are realized," Dunleavy spokesperson Grant Robinson said by email Thursday. Republican Senate President Gary Stevens told reporters this week that there is a limit to what the state can afford. A revised revenue forecast is expected by mid-March, and lawmakers haven't even begun publicly debating how big this year's dividend payout to residents from oil-wealth fund earnings should be — typically one of the most contentious debates of the session. Sen. Bill Wielechowski, an Anchorage Democrat, raised questions about how well bonuses might work. He said he thinks there's a "fair expectation" that teachers from overseas or the Lower 48 would leave after the three years is up. He said the level of support for the compromise bill was "pretty unheard of these days" for a controversial measure. Tom Klaameyer, president of NEA-Alaska, a teachers' union, said if Dunleavy vetoes the education package, "then our schools remain in crisis." The measure "was simply a life preserver that was being thrown or could have been thrown to schools to stem the crisis," he said. He added: "We're saying, throw the life preserver."

More than 60% of the world's electricity demand is presently being met by fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency forecasts that by 2026, low-carbon electricity sources, including renewable energy (RE), will account for almost 50% of the total global electricity production. Renewable energy (RE) has been a game changer in our options to mitigate climate change. However, transitioning to cleaner forms of energy such as with RE, presents another overlooked golden opportunity. By being consciously responsible towards the environment and communities in its procurement policies, the RE sector can lead by example in the global clean energy shift. Responsible RE would mean not only procuring RE, but also account for social and environmental externalities and costs as well. To give an example of positive and negative externality, the fossil fuel-powered energy industry has provided the world with jobs and incomes for years, but it has also put adverse pressures on land, air, and water. Similarly, the use of RE promises to mitigate the release of carbon into the atmosphere, secure energy needs of countries, provide livelihood opportunities, cleaner air and other benefits. On the other hand, the RE value chain is also being exposed to environmental and social challenges just like any other sector. Responsible RE procurement policies can set future standards. Social conflict The recently concluded global climate negotiation at COP28 in Dubai, set an ambition to triple RE capacity by 2030. India is planning to add another 320 GW to its electricity grid to reach 500 GW by the end of this decade. Greater RE capacity will demand greater access to natural resources and human capital, which can induce social conflict. These are emerging challenges that we must consider. These challenges could manifest in hyperlocal ways such as conflicts with communities on issues of land use and co-benefit sharing. RE projects can simultaneously exert a burden on precious resources, including new minerals, land, water and in managing them sustainably at their end-of-life (such as disposing of solar panels and batteries used for storage of RE). Role of big consumers The RE value chain is a multi-stakeholder mesh of manufacturers, project developers, financiers, buyers, electricity regulators, government, communities, civil society and others. Each one of them has a role to play in growing RE exponentially, optimising positive externalities, and minimising undesirable outcomes. In our experience, a growing number of businesses that are environmentally and socially responsive are proving that they have the power to influence RE markets. More than 400 companies globally have pledged to buy 100% RE by 2050 to meet their electricity needs. This network includes 10 Indian companies and more than 120 global counterparts with India-based operations. Collectively, these companies with a demand of 430 TWh/year are driving RE demand and shaping policies in favour of RE adoption across regions and markets. RE buyers, either small or big, together can also play a key role in demanding responsible procurement of RE. Currently though, the global RE regime is not incentivised enough for the RE buyer companies explicitly to do so. The focus is on a competitive, clean energy auction market for low-cost RE. Responsible RE RE has an intrinsic advantage of being cleaner compared with its rivals, but it is being evaluated for its externalities by its consumers and shareholders. The RE sector can be responsible, value-driven and flourish at the same time. Responsible RE could constitute several things. For example, it may well be the inclusion of local communities through participation in decision-making and being a beneficiary themselves throughout the life cycle of the RE project. It could mean preserving ecology through avoidance and mitigating measures in project siting, design and implementation. Responsible RE may possibly also mean that RE buyers collaborate with the developers to safeguard a people- and planet-centric energy transition, and that rights are protected and compliant with Indian laws. RE buyers could also transition their own supply chains. Take for instance Apple, a RE100 company, through their Supplier Clean Energy Program, they review their suppliers' clean-energy projects by verifying and upholding accountability standards. The shift to responsibility-oriented and sustainability-centric reporting for businesses is now in focus. Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report by Securities and Exchange Board of India aims at promoting transparency in disclosing non-financial parameters (these include disclosures about sustainability and safety, employee wellbeing, promoting human rights, among other disclosures) and sustainability goals. Indirectly, this will pave the way for responsible RE through accountability and transparency. However, RE buyer companies can lead by demanding responsible practices that percolate down their supply chains. In the absence of a universal rulebook, voluntary actions by a group of companies can aggregate huge demand for responsible RE procurement and catalyse it globally. By doing so, corporate RE buyers could become champions of sustainability.

The best option for the New England Patriots in their search for a franchise quarterback is selecting one with the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They are guaranteed to get one of the top-tier quarterback prospects in this year's class -- USC's Caleb Williams, UNC's Drake Maye or LSU's Jayden Daniels. But there are other paths to finding a franchise QB. One of them is through the trade market, where Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields might be available. Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Boston sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter. What would the asking price be for Fields? ESPN's Bears reporter Courtney Cronin joined Phil Perry on a new episode of NBC Sports Boston's Next Pats Podcast to discuss that topic and much more. "It sounds like a second- to third-round pick is the absolute starting point for Justin Fields," Cronin said. "I know the idea has been floated out there that maybe they could get a first-round pick for Justin. They're not getting New England's first-round pick for Justin Fields, but that second-round pick, (the Bears) have a void right there because they sent theirs, which was the 40th overall pick, to the Washington Commanders in exchange for Montez Sweat. "They need to bridge that gap because they go from No. 1, to No. 9 to No. 78. There's a lot of good players that would be off the board by the time that they get there in the third round. So recouping that draft capital is where all the conversations have to start when it comes to (Bears GM) Ryan Poles and potential teams that are looking for Justin Fields." The Patriots, at least from a draft pick standpoint, are the type of team the Bears should want to make a trade with because their second- and third-round picks are near the top of those rounds. New England owns the second overall pick in Round 2 (No. 34) and the fourth overall selection in Round 3 (No. 68). More Patriots coverage The real question is whether Fields is worth giving up a high second- or third-round pick. Does he have the potential to be a franchise quarterback? "I think he has the tools," Cronin said. "You can win with Justin Fields, and every team will have a different viewpoint of, 'Can we be the people who get the most out of him?' And sometimes there's a level of arrogance about that in the NFL that because it didn't work here, it's going to work here. "There are things he needs to do in his game that he has to clean up. The situational football that (Bears head coach) Matt Eberflus talked about yesterday when he was asked, 'Now that you've done this for a few years, what do you look for when you evaluate a quarterback?' And a lot of it actually kind of spoke to things that Justin struggled with, the third downs, the end-of-half situations, a two-minute drive, turnovers in the fourth quarter. "Those are things that have been with Justin over the last couple of years. Now, did he get better in those areas? Yes, but there still is that giant question mark. And I remember I had one general manager tell me this as I was writing a piece on the conundrum the Bears face, is that if there's indecision, that's a decision. You already know if you don't have clarity, then you do have clarity on the quarterback situation if you are the Bears sitting on the No. 1 overall pick." The Patriots saw plenty of end-of-half struggles, third-down issues and fourth-quarter turnovers from their quarterbacks last season. It's one of the reasons why they sunk to last place in the AFC with a 4-13 record. Fields has tremendous talent, but the top-tier quarterbacks who will be available to the Patriots with the No. 3 overall pick in the first round are all better talents than the Bears QB. Fields also would be due for an extension after the 2024 season, which would be expensive. Drafting a quarterback and paying him on a rookie contract for five years would allow the Patriots to spend valuable salary cap space on other roster weaknesses. If the price drops on Fields, maybe the Patriots should consider it. But if the ask from the Bears is a high second- or third-round pick, the Patriots would be wise to walk away. Also in this episode: - How much has J.J. McCarthy's stock risen in Indy? - Why Justin Fields is THE BEST bridge QB option for the Patriots - Courtney Cronin on why a Justin Fields trade is most likely - Can Fields be a franchise QB? - Is there a chance the Bears DON'T take Caleb Williams?!	<urn:uuid:4bd3ab77-ad7a-4113-9b0c-89f96cd78f6b>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:47Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9765769839286804, "url": "https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/bears-insider-gives-insight-into-potential-justin-fields-trade-asking-price/591510/" }

The NFL has reportedly tested optical technology to track first downs in multiple games including at February's Super Bowl. If approved and implemented, the technology would replace the long outdated and oft-criticized system of sideline chain crews that invites human error and guesswork into high-stakes first-down measurements. This is according to multiple reports from the NFL scouting combine on Thursday citing league officials. Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the technology is not ready to be rolled out for the 2024 season. As with any significant rule change, it would require passing a vote of team owners to be approved. Why are we still using chain crews? The ability to track the ball has long been available and used by the NFL for its Next Gen Stats technology. Per the league, a tracking system is installed at every NFL stadium that includes "20–30 ultra-wide band receivers," "2–3 radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags installed into the players' shoulder pads," and "RFID tags on officials, pylons, sticks, chains, and in the ball." The technology's used to study the game and gain analytical insights into player and team performance. It's not used to determine one of the most fundamental aspects of the game — how far the ball is advanced and whether or not it crossed a first-down threshold or the goal line. The existence of said technology has begged the question: why does football still used the flawed, early 20th-century system of officials guessing where to place the ball alongside crews carrying 10-yard lengths of chain up and down the field? The Next Gen Stats technology doesn't necessarily translate directly to spotting the ball, which involves multiple factors including when and where a player's knee, elbow or otherwise determined he was down. But it does suggest that the NFL can do better that it's long done with guesswork spotting and chain crews. Details about the the optical tracking and how it works weren't reported on Thursday. The NFL's fans, players and coaches are eagerly waiting to hear more.	<urn:uuid:16d337ec-e867-4d23-b0f6-51e3e00dba1a>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:48Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9645567536354065, "url": "https://www.kkyx.com/news/national/nfls-reportedly/4I4XXJRJF7SCBLOFTFJ5TGF44M/" }

Health officials are investigating whether there's a link between two new RSV vaccines and cases of a rare nervous system disorder in older U.S. adults. The inquiry is based on fewer than two dozen cases seen among more than 9.5 million vaccine recipients, health officials said Thursday. And the available information is too limited to establish whether the shots caused the illnesses, they added. But the numbers are higher than expected and officials are gathering more information to determine if the vaccines are causing the problem. The data was presented at a meeting of an expert panel that provides vaccine policy advice to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Officials said they were investigating more than 20 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, an rare illness in which a person's immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and paralysis. An estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people develop GBS in the U.S. each year, and it's more commonly seen in older people, according to the CDC. Get Boston local news, weather forecasts, lifestyle and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC Boston's newsletters. Most people fully recover from the syndrome, but some have permanent nerve damage. Guillain-Barre can occur in people after they are infected with a virus, but in some instances cases have been linked to vaccinations. RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common cause of cold-like symptoms but it can be dangerous for infants and the elderly. Last year, the CDC signed off on a recommendation made by the advisory panel, aimed at Americans age 60 and older. It was for a single dose of RSV vaccine. There were two options, one made by Pfizer and the other by GSK. The CDC said that patients should talk to their doctors about the vaccines and then decide whether to get it. Officials were aware that instances of Guillain-Barre had been identified in clinical trials done before the shots were approved for sale, and that different systems were watching for signs of problems. At a meeting of the expert panel on Thursday, CDC officials presented an analysis of the reports taken in by those systems. About two-thirds of the cases occurred in people who got a version of the vaccine made by Pfizer, called Abrysvo. But officials are also doing follow-up tracking in people who got Arexvy, made by GSK. About two cases of Guillain-Barre might be seen in every 1 million people who receive a vaccine, health officials estimate. A CDC analysis found the the GSK rate was lower than that, but 4.6 cases per million were reported in recipients of the Pfizer shot. Data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also showed an above-expected number of Guillain-Barre cases being reported in RSV vaccine recipients, with more among Pfizer shot recipients. "Taken together, these data suggest a potential increased risk" in RSV vaccine recipients 60 and older that must be explored, said Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, a CDC vaccine safety monitoring official. Officials from GSK and Pfizer made brief statements during the meeting, noting that sorting out a safety signal is complicated. "Pfizer is committed to the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the safety of Abrysvo" and is conducting four safety studies to look into the possibility of vaccine-related GBS, said Reema Mehta, a Pfizer vice president. CDC officials also presented estimates that the vaccines have prevented thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths from RSV, and that current data indicates the benefits of vaccination outweigh the possible risks. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group.

The Lion Country Safari drive-through safari park in the South Florida city of Loxahatchee welcomed a new and rare endangered ape, park officials announced on Thursday. The new white-handed gibbon was born on Feb. 17. It is the first ape to be born at the park in nearly 28 years. Park officials said the ape will cling to its mother until it matures and begins to explore on its own. The baby's parents, 23-year-old Tamatha and 36-year-old Larry, are visible to visitors on their habitat islands in the last section of the park's tour, officials said. White-handed gibbons are a lesser ape species native to the rain forests of Asia. They are generally monogamous and produce one offspring after a gestation period of approximately seven months. The average life expectancy for a white-handed gibbon is 25-30 years in the wild and approximately 44 years under human care, park officials said. The apes are on the endangered species list, and populations are decreasing in the wild due to habitat loss and illegal wildlife trafficking, officials said.

ExxonMobil is suing investors who want faster climate action Updated February 29, 2024 at 6:46 PM ET ExxonMobil faces dozens of lawsuits from states and localities alleging the company lied for decades about its role in climate change and the dangers of burning fossil fuels. But now, ExxonMobil is going on the offensive with a lawsuit targeting investors who want the company to slash pollution that's raising global temperatures. Investors in publicly-traded companies like ExxonMobil try to shape corporate policies by filing shareholder proposals that are voted on at annual meetings. ExxonMobil says it's fed up with a pair of investor groups that it claims are abusing the system by filing similar proposals year after year in an effort to micromanage its business. ExxonMobil's lawsuit points to growing tensions between companies and activist investors calling for corporations to do more to shrink their climate impact and prepare for a hotter world. Interest groups on both sides of the case say it could unleash a wave of corporate litigation against climate activists. It is happening at a time when global temperatures continue to rise, and corporate analysts say most companies aren't on track to meet targets they set to reduce their heat-trapping emissions. "Exxon is really upping the ante here in a big way by bringing this case," says Josh Zinner, chief executive of an investor coalition called the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, whose members include a defendant in the ExxonMobil case. "Other companies could use this tactic not just to block resolutions," Zinner says, "but to intimidate their shareholders from even bringing these [climate] issues to the table." ExxonMobil said in an email that it is suing the investor groups Arjuna Capital and Follow This because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) isn't enforcing rules governing when investors can resubmit shareholder proposals. A court is the "the right place to get clarity on SEC rules," ExxonMobil said, adding that the case "is not about climate change." Other corporations are watching ExxonMobil's case, says Charles Crain, a vice president at the National Association of Manufacturers, which represents ExxonMobil and other industrial companies. "If companies are decreasingly able to get the SEC to allow them to exclude proposals that are obviously politically motivated, then the next question is, well, can the courts succeed where the SEC has failed — or, more accurately, not even tried?," Crain says. Activists push companies for more aggressive climate strategies The shareholder proposal from Arjuna and Follow This called for ExxonMobil to cut emissions faster from its own operations and from its supply chain, including the pollution that's created when customers burn its oil and natural gas. That indirect pollution, known as Scope 3 emissions, accounts for 90% of ExxonMobil's carbon footprint, according to Arjuna and Follow This. The proposal is similar to others that the investor groups submitted to ExxonMobil in recent years and which ExxonMobil says received scant support from other shareholders. After ExxonMobil sued the groups in federal court in Texas in January, Arjuna and Follow This withdrew the proposal and promised not to submit it to ExxonMobil again. But ExxonMobil refuses to drop its case. Arjuna declined to comment. The firm said in a court filing that ExxonMobil''s climate targets aren't as ambitious as those of other big oil and gas companies, and that its shareholder proposal was meant to "foster better investment outcomes by addressing the material threat that climate change poses" to the company. Mark van Baal, founder of Follow This, said in a statement that ExxonMobil is trying to stifle shareholders. "Apparently, Exxon does not want shareholders to vote on whether the company should accelerate its efforts to reduce emissions," van Baal said. "This is the concern of more and more investors who want [to] safeguard the long-term future of the company and the global economy in view of the climate crisis." Companies are offering more transparency on climate, but activists say they need to see action Last year was the hottest ever recorded on Earth, and the effects were devastating. Rising temperatures are driving more extreme weather, from heat waves to floods and droughts. And scientists say the impacts will only get worse because humans keep putting more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Thousands of peoples' lives are disrupted or harmed by extreme weather, and the economic costs are enormous. Weather disasters in the United States last year inflicted at least $92.9 billion in damages, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Those threats put pressure on companies. Corporations regularly issue reports on climate change and sustainability. And many, including ExxonMobil, say they're trying to eliminate or offset their greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury. But independent researchers say few companies have shown credible plans to achieve their targets. "What we've seen, unfortunately, is that even in the face of disclosure and more transparency from these companies, not much has actually changed from a strategy perspective," says Kevin Chuah, an assistant professor at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business. The impact of rising temperatures has also led states and municipalities to sue ExxonMobil and other oil and gas companies for the threats that their communities are facing, and the industry's alleged efforts to muddy the public's understanding of climate science. The latest lawsuits were filed by the city of Chicago and the state of California. An industry group called the American Petroleum Institute says the lawsuits are meritless and politicized. ExxonMobil says it has acknowledged repeatedly that "climate change is real." The company noted in its statement to NPR that it is pursuing more than $20 billion of "low emission investments" between 2022 and 2027. ExxonMobil said that would be on top of the nearly $5 billion it recently spent buying a company that specializes in capturing carbon dioxide emissions and injecting them into oil wells to boost production. However, those investments are a fraction of what the company is spending on its traditional energy business. A deal ExxonMobil struck last year to buy the oil and gas company Pioneer Natural Resources alone is valued at almost $60 billion. Critics say ExxonMobil's lawsuit is part of a broader effort to limit investor activism Activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This use shareholder proposals to push corporations to go further on climate. But they've struggled in recent years to get support from broader groups of shareholders. Experts say investors are hesitant to back new climate proposals when companies already have policies to disclose and cut emissions. And they say investors worry that proposals have gotten too prescriptive and might interfere with how companies are run. Despite a drop in support for shareholder proposals on climate change, investors aren't giving companies a pass, according to an investor survey by the accounting firm EY. The firm said 56% of the investors it talked to still want companies to make climate change and environmental conservation a priority this year. "I think these are financially material issues," says Chuah of Northeastern University. "And therefore many investors are bringing these concerns up." ExxonMobil says it is committed to cutting emissions from its operations. But the idea that activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This can quickly push the company out of the oil and gas business with new climate policies is "simplistic and against the interests of the vast majority of ExxonMobil shareholders," the company said in a court filing in Texas. ExxonMobil said in a statement to NPR that while shareholders are entitled to submit proposals to the company, they don't have "an unlimited right to put forth any proposal to do anything." "Their intent is to advance their agenda rather than creating long-term value for shareholders," ExxonMobil said of Arjuna and Follow This. Parts of corporate America have grown frustrated with the shareholder proposal process since the SEC issued guidance in 2021 that made it harder for companies to turn away some resolutions. The SEC specifically cited shareholder proposals that ask companies to set targets and timeframes to address climate change, saying it would no longer view those kinds of resolutions as inappropriate as long as companies are free to decide how to meet the goals. The National Association of Manufacturers has argued that forcing companies to publish shareholder proposals that deal with "contentious issues unrelated to [their] core business or the creation of shareholder value," including climate change, violates their First Amendment right of free speech. And Republicans in Congress introduced legislation last year that would allow companies to reject shareholder proposals concerning environmental, social or political issues. "Certainly, there are material climate-related topics that are going to be relevant for a company considering its growth into the future," Crain says. But he says activists too often pursue a "political goal" rather than try to help companies "understand and mitigate those climate related risks or opportunities for their operations." Crain declined to discuss individual companies or shareholder proposals, and he says there isn't an objective way to determine when a shareholder proposal is politically motivated. ExxonMobil's critics say its lawsuit is part of a broader effort to curtail shareholder activism, especially around social and environmental issues. "And the reason is because it's one of the few effective avenues left to hold companies accountable," says Zinner of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. Copyright 2024 NPR.

Thursday's spring training game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles featured four former No. 1 MLB draft picks and a battle of the previous two in the first inning. In the end, it was Paul Skenes' time to shine. The Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher and No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft hit 102 mph on the radar gun and got the best of a pair of fellow former No. 1 picks in his MLB spring training debut. He did so en route to a 1-2-3 inning in his only action of the day. The main event led off the bottom of the first inning. There, Skenes faced off with Orioles leadoff hitter and 2022 No. 1 overall pick, shortstop Jackson Holliday. Skenes induced a groundout with a 100 mph fastball. For his next opponent, Skenes faced 2019 No. 1 pick and Orioles All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman. Rutschman took a 101 mph ball, then barreled a 99 mph Skenes fastball to the warning track. But right fielder Edward Olivares was there waiting to record out No. 2. Skenes then induced a flyout from right fielder Heston Kjerstad to end his debut and secure a 1-2-3 inning. Per MLB.com's Jim Callis, Skenes twice hit 102 mph on the scoreboard radar gun. He did all this while pitching to catcher Henry Davis, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 MLB draft. Baltimore went on to a 9-8 victory. Jackson contributed to the cause with two hits, including an RBI triple. Davis made his mark with two hits in three at-bats, including a solo home run. Rutschman went hitless in three at-bats. Skenes joined the Pirates in the draft from LSU, where he won multiple National Player of the Year and National Pitcher of the Year honors while leading the Tigers to the 2023 College World Series championship. Holliday, the son of seven-time MLB All-Star Matt Holliday, is MLB.com's No. 1 prospect after rocketing through the minor leagues during his first season as a pro in 2023. Expectations for both are high as Skenes and Holliday prepare for their respective MLB debuts, whenever they may come.	<urn:uuid:4c80ae50-a629-4380-acd6-fe81b473ad1c>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:55Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9716778993606567, "url": "https://www.kkyx.com/news/national/spring-training/ZFFXCVOAWFVJHY25HKN4EBD7GQ/" }

Delaware judge cites 'evil' and 'extreme cruelty' in sentencing couple for torturing their sons A Delaware woman who pleaded guilty to torturing her two stepsons for almost two years with the assistance of their father has been sentenced to more than 100 years in prison DOVER, Del. -- A Delaware woman who was convicted of torturing her two stepsons with the knowledge and help of their father was sentenced Thursday to 106 years in prison by a judge who called the abuse "the most extensive and persistent evil" he has ever seen. Mary Vinson, 46, pleaded guilty last year to 30 felony counts including kidnapping, child abuse, strangulation and reckless endangering. She had faced a minimum sentence of 30 years and a maximum of 444 years. "I didn't want to hurt them," Vinson said before sentencing, taking issue with the litany of horrors outlined by prosecutor Erik Towne and with the state's suggestion that she was "a monster." "It didn't start out that way," she said. "I loved those boys like they were my own." The boys' father, Charles Vinson, 37, was also sentenced Thursday, to 49 years. He pleaded guilty to 12 felony counts and had faced a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 158 years. Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Clarke rejected defense requests to impose the minimum sentences, citing among other things the extreme cruelty of the crimes. Video from surveillance cameras that monitored the large closet where the boys were kept naked and starving in horrific conditions did not tell the entire story of their suffering, the judge said. "It will be impossible for them to forget the evil done to them," said Clarke, who refused a prosecution request to show some of the video excerpts in court. "They will carry this with them for the rest of their lives." Defense attorney John Malik said Charles Vinson did not like conflict and felt manipulated by his wife: "He was in the middle between his wife and his kids, and admits that he failed his sons." The judge noted that, while Charles Vinson was not the primary offender, he enabled the abuse, facilitated it and sometimes participated. Charle Vinson said he took full responsibility for his actions and accepted the consequences of his "poor decisions" regarding his sons. "I failed them, and I feel ashamed of myself to be called a father," Vinson said. According to prosecutors, the boys were abused over a period of 20 months starting in early 2020. One was 9 to 10 years old at the time, while the other was abused between the ages of 11 and 13. Both were hospitalized several times for severe malnutrition, with one requiring a hospital stay of almost a month. The Division of Family Services finally took custody of the boys in October 2021. Authorities said the abuse included making the boys stand motionless for long periods of time, withholding food and water, force-feeding, and beating and strangling them. Prosecutor Kristin Dewalt said they were forced to wash themselves with the same water used to clean up their urine and feces. "The torture Mrs. Vinson inflicted on these children is almost indescribable," Towne said. Mark Hudson, representing the Office of the Child Advocate, said the boys are in foster care and doing markedly better, but they are still dealing with issues. Attempts at placing them with permanent families have proven unsuccessful, he said, with potential adopting parents declining to move forward after learning of the boys' history.

Mississippi police unconstitutionally jailed people for unpaid fines, Justice Department says JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi police department in one of the nation's poorest counties unconstitutionally jailed people for unpaid fines without first assessing whether they could afford to pay them, the U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday. The announcement comes amid a Justice Department probe into alleged civil rights violations by police in Lexington, Mississippi. The ongoing investigation, which began in November, is focused on accusations of systemic police abuses in the majority-Black city of about 1,600 people some 65 miles (100 kilometers) north of the capital of Jackson. In a letter addressed to Katherine Barrett Riley, the attorney for the city of Lexington, federal prosecutors said the Lexington Police Department imprisons people for outstanding fines without determining whether the person has the means to pay them — a practice that violates the Fourteenth Amendment. Riley did not immediately respond to a phone message Thursday. "It's time to bring an end to a two-tiered system of justice in our country in which a person's income determines whether they walk free or whether they go to jail," said Kristen Clarke, the department's assistant attorney general for civil rights. "There is great urgency underlying the issues we have uncovered in Mississippi, and we stand ready to work with officials to end these harmful practices." Prosecutors said the conduct of police in Lexington violates the constitution's prohibition on wealth-based detention. It does so by requiring people who are arrested to pay outstanding fines before they can be released from jail, and by issuing and arresting people on warrants for outstanding fines, they said. "One-third of Lexington's residents live below the poverty line. The burden of unjust fines and fees undermines the goals of rehabilitation and erodes the community's trust in the justice system," said Todd W. Gee, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi. About 86% of Lexington's population is Black and it has a poverty rate approaching 30%. The area also has a storied place in civil rights history. In 1967, Holmes County residents elected Robert Clark, the first Black man to win a seat in the Mississippi Legislature in the 20th century. The civil rights division's sweeping investigation into the Lexington Police Department includes allegations of excessive force, discriminatory policing and First Amendment violations. The city's former police chief, Sam Dobbins, was fired after a civil rights organization obtained an audio recording of him using racial slurs and talking about how many people he had killed in the line of duty. Justice Department officials said they met with city leaders Thursday. The local officials have pledged to work with the Justice Department to reform their procedures, prosecutors said. ___ Michael Goldberg is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

DENVER — Dozens of teachers joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers at Colorado's capitol on Thursday to mark a milestone in education funding — they gathered to celebrate the proposed elimination of the Budget Stabilization Factor. The Budget Stabilization Factor, also known as the BS Factor, is a mechanism that has in the past allowed the state to divert about $10 billion from K-12 schools to other programs. Teachers like Justina Carter of Pueblo said the BS Factor has made their jobs more difficult by underfunding schools for years. "I'm a language teacher and I have flashcards that are showing kids what's a fax machine and what's a Blackberry. It's ridiculous," said Carter. "Educators are taking out of their own pocket to provide things that our students need." Amie Baca-Oehlert, the president of the Colorado Education Association, said the BS Factor has also led to larger class sizes and forced districts to make tough cuts. "We've seen students often without access to mental health coverage that they need. We've seen a massive educator shortage because we have educators who want a wage where they can work and live in the communities they serve," said Baca-Oehlert. But better days could be ahead. Gov. Jared Polis' proposed budget would eliminate the BS Factor and fully fund schools for the first time in years. "Supporting students by ensuring educators have the resources they need to succeed in helping every child get a world-class education strengthens Colorado's future and creates more economic opportunities for all Coloradans," Polis said. "This year's historic education funding marks the beginning of a new era of education funding in Colorado and I thank the General Assembly for its partnership in this important effort. I am proud to deliver for our students and our educators." Polis was one of several speakers at Thursday's rally. Although most of the speakers were Democrats and progressives, eliminating the BS Factor is something Republicans like State Senators Paul Lundeen and Barbara Kirkmeyer support. "For the last 14 years, we have been balancing the budgets on the backs of students," Kirkmeyer said. "That is just wrong." Baca-Oehlert said her organization has been fighting to eliminate the BS Factor for years, along with teachers and parents. "An entire generation of students in Colorado have never attended public school in a fully funded environment," she said. Although schools would be considered fully funded if the BS Factor were eliminated, Baca-Oehlert said they wouldn't be funded at 2024 levels. Instead, they'd be funded at levels still decades behind where many believe Colorado should be. "We're only going to be at 1989 funding levels, but it's a step forward from the over $10 billion that have been underfunded in our school since the inception of the Budget Stabilization Factor," said Baca-Oehlert. "So, we're making those strides forward." While they said that's worth celebrating, they believe Colorado still has a long way to go.	<urn:uuid:2241875c-7ef7-476d-8d67-f83d6d3d1ed9>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:43:59Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9793724417686462, "url": "https://www.denver7.com/lifestyle/education/colorado-teachers-celebrate-proposed-elimination-of-budget-stabilization-factor" }

MIAMI — Florida says it will soon release the grand jury proceedings in Jeffrey Epstein's 2006 sexual abuse case. Epstein was a wealthy financier, who was charged with paying dozens of girls over many years for sex. He died in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. More than a decade earlier, a grand jury convened in Florida's Palm Beach County investigated allegations that he was sexually abusing teenage girls and young women at his estate. The grand jury ultimately returned a single charge of soliciting prostitution. Following a federal investigation, Epstein pleaded guilty in state court to two prostitution charges and received a lenient sentence. He served just 13 months in prison, leaving the jail almost every day as part of a work release deal. At a news conference in Palm Beach, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill authorizing the release of Epstein's grand jury records, calling it "long overdue." He also called for the release of records from the FBI investigation of Epstein. "I would challenge Joe Biden to do that now," he said. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions about how this happened." The Florida grand jury records are expected to be opened when the law goes into effect in July. Some of Epstein's victims were with DeSantis at the bill signing. Haley Robson was 16 years old when she was recruited and began working for Epstein. She said she hoped releasing the grand jury report will finally provide some answers. "Why was Jeffrey Epstein given such grace and mercy for his inhumane crimes? And why were we outed in the media and treated so poorly?" Epstein had several homes, often flying guests and girls to his estate on a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton and attorney Alan Dershowitz were among his high-profile guests. His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking while with Epstein. More than a decade after Epstein completed the terms of his plea deal and probation, a series of reports in the Miami Herald brought new attention to Epstein and his victims. He was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges when he was found dead in his jail cell, a death that was ruled suicide. Copyright 2024 NPR.

EPA to delay rules for some power plants until after November election The Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it is delaying planned rules for existing natural gas plants that emit harmful air pollutants and contribute to global warming WASHINGTON -- The Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it is delaying planned rules to curb emissions from existing natural gas plants that release harmful air pollutants and contribute to global warming. The agency said it is still on track to finalize rules for coal-fired power plants and new gas plants that have not come online, a key step to slow planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nation's second-largest contributor to climate change. But in a turnaround from previous plans, the agency said it will review standards for existing gas plants and expand the rules to include more pollutants. The change came after complaints from environmental justice groups, who said the earlier plan allowed too much toxic air pollution which disproportionately harms low-income neighborhoods near power plants, refineries and other industrial sites. "As EPA works towards final standards to cut climate pollution from existing coal and new gas-fired power plants later this spring, the agency is taking a new, comprehensive approach to cover the entire fleet of natural gas-fired turbines, as well as cover more pollutants,'' EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. He called the new plan a "stronger, more durable approach" that will achieve greater emissions reductions than the current proposal. It also will better protect vulnerable frontline communities suffering from toxic air pollution caused by power plants and other industrial sites, Regan said. Still, the plan was not universally welcomed by environmentalists, who the said the new approach will likely push rules for existing gas plants past the November presidential election. "We are extremely disappointed in EPA's decision to delay finalizing carbon pollution standards for existing gas plants, which make up a significant portion of carbon emissions in the power sector,'' said Frank Sturges, a lawyer for the Clean Air Task Force, an environmental group. "Greenhouse gas emissions from power plants have gone uncontrolled for far too long, and we have no more time to waste," he said. Other environmental groups hailed the decision, saying the new plan would ultimately deliver better results. "We have always known that the fight for a clean power sector wouldn't be a quick one.,'' said Charles Harper of Evergreen Action. "EPA's first order of business should be finalizing strong and necessary limits on climate pollution from new gas and existing coal plants as quickly as possible.'' "We are glad that EPA is committed to finishing the job with a new rule that covers every gas plant operating in the U.S.,'' Harper added. "Tackling dirty coal plants is one of the single most important moves the president and EPA can make to rein in climate pollution,'' said Abigail Dillen, president of Earthjustice. "As utilities propose new fossil gas plants, we absolutely have to get ahead of a big new pollution problem." EPA issued a proposed rule in May 2023 that called for drastically curbing greenhouse gas emissions from existing coal and gas-fired plants, as well as future gas plants planned by the power industry. No new coal plant has opened in the U.S. in more than a decade, while dozens of coal-fired plants have closed in recent years in the face of competition from cheaper natural gas. The Biden administration has committed to create a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035. The EPA proposal could force power plants to capture smokestack emissions using a technology that has long been promised but is not used widely in the United States. If finalized, the proposed regulation would mark the first time the federal government has restricted carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, which generate about 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution, second only to the transportation sector. The rule also would apply to future electric plants and would avoid up to 617 million metric tons of carbon dioxide through 2042, equivalent to annual emissions of 137 million passenger vehicles, the EPA said. Almost all coal plants — along with large, frequently used gas-fired plants — would have to cut or capture nearly all their carbon dioxide emissions by 2038, the EPA said. Plants that cannot meet the new standards would be forced to shutter. Much of the EPA plan is expected to be made final this spring and is likely to be challenged by industry groups and Republican-leaning states. They have accused the Democratic administration of overreach on environmental regulations and warn of a pending reliability crisis for the electric grid. The power plant rule is one of at least a half-dozen EPA rules limiting power plant emissions and wastewater treatment. The National Mining Association warned of "an onslaught" of government regulation "designed to shut down the coal fleet prematurely″ when the EPA proposal was announced last year. Regan has denied that the power plant rule is aimed at shutting down the coal sector, but acknowledged last year that, " we will see some coal retirements." Coal provides about 20% of U.S. electricity, down from about 45% in 2010. Natural gas provides about 40% of U.S. electricity. The remainder comes from nuclear energy and renewables such as wind, solar and hydropower. Peggy Shepard, co-founder and executive director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice, a New York-based group, said she was pleased that the concerns of environmental justice communities will be factored into EPA's rulemaking. "The power sector is one of the top sources of carbon emissions and pollution,'' she said. "With this pause to take a deeper dive into developing the most comprehensive and thoughtful rulemaking for existing gas plants, we have an opportunity to do this work correctly and effectively to protect the human and environmental health of the most overburdened, neglected and vulnerable people across the country.'' The EPA's revised plan was first reported by Bloomberg News.

GILPIN COUNTY, Colo. — In the early 1900s, Black Americans did not have many outdoor spaces that were welcoming to them in Colorado, with one notable exception: Lincoln Hills. "Lincoln Hills is a place where African Americans went during the 1920s, 1930s, to the 1960s. It was a place where people could go because of the constraints of Jim Crow during that time period," Jeanette Patterson, executive director of Lincoln Hills Cares told Denver7. Lincoln Hills Cares is the nonprofit branch of the historic Lincoln Hills resort, located about 38 miles from Denver in Gilpin County. "So there were activities going on, like camping and fishing and hiking and horseback riding. But when I talk about Black joy, it was just the place where people could thrive and have rest because it was rare for people — for African American people at the time — to go out and be in outdoor spaces," Patterson said. So rare, Patterson said, ordinary Black Americans and celebrities alike flocked to the mountain retreat. "Lena Horne, you had Count Basie. You had Duke Ellington, some of those folks would come up, especially after performing in the Five Points area in Denver. And then also, you had the intellects (sic) like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston that would come up and do some readings at Lincoln Hills," Patterson said. Black History Month Hattie McDaniel's Fort Collins home and efforts to save Dearfield Patterson said many stayed at Winks Lodge on the property, which is currently in need of preservation. "Winks Lodge really is closed right now… we are doing some restoration, and preservation," Patterson said. These days Lincoln Hills hosts outdoor education and recreation initiatives and recently received a national historic landmark designation. "With us having this national recognition, it means that more and more people will want to come to Colorado to see what African Americans did during that time in the mountains," Patterson said. Throughout the month of February, Denver7 has traveled across Colorado, uncovering little known places and stories with significance to Black history.

Long hailed as an impossibility, harnessing nuclear fusion to power homes, businesses, cars and even airplanes is now widely viewed by scientists and engineers as a very real prospect that would undoubtedly and dramatically reshape energy consumption around the world. "It's tremendously exciting in that we would have virtually limitless power," said Carl Bass, chairman of the company Alpha Ring, which is working to capture the power of fusion through miniature nuclear reactors. "It will happen in our lifetime – really, the question for me is just the scale at which it happens." Tech companies race to harness nuclear fusion Get Boston local news, weather forecasts, lifestyle and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC Boston's newsletters. Globally, over 40 companies – including several in California – are now experimenting with more than 20 different methods to harness what is believed to be a cleaner and potentially cheaper energy alternative in nuclear fusion. The race to harness fusion comes as fossil fuels, including oil, coal, and gas, continue to drive climate change with the pollution they emit. "We really can produce energy at a fraction of the cost with almost none of the problems of the current energy infrastructure," Bass said. "You could imagine a small reactor in a vehicle, certainly in a boat or a ship – almost everywhere where we need to use either heat or electricity, we could produce it differently and much more cleanly." Alpha Ring's method, considered by industry leaders to be unconventional, is known as "electron-catalyzed fusion." The process relies on what the company describes as "miniaturized" nuclear reactors, which are designed to be small enough to fit on a tabletop, but large enough to power entire communities. "It's a very complicated technology," said Steve Hwang, chief operating officer for Alpha Ring, who oversees the company's laboratories in Monterey, Los Angeles, and Taipei. "If we can produce abundant energy, that's how we're going to change the world." Can nuclear fusion ever be commercially viable? Despite the benefits, one major complication remains – no one has ever been able to turn nuclear fusion into a viable and sustainable energy source. The only place fusion occurs regularly is among the stars – powering, most famously, the sun. Today, America's more than 50 nuclear power plants utilize nuclear fission, where atoms are split apart to produce massive amounts of energy, but the process can also emit harmful radiation. Nuclear fusion, on the other hand, relies on atoms being fused together to create bursts of energy. Fusion doesn't emit carbon or radioactive waste, and the materials needed to create the reaction are plentiful and found all throughout the world. Unlocking the ability to harness nuclear fusion has largely remained a mystery, however, scientists believe we are the closest we have ever been to creating and sustaining that kind of power. "Not a matter of if, but when," said physicist John Edwards, who is a senior advisor at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Edwards previously served as director of the lab's Inertial Confinement Fusion program for seven years, and was part of the team of government scientists that made history in Dec. 2022 after achieving what was hailed to be the first-ever nuclear fusion reaction inside a lab, where more energy was produced than what it took to jump start the reaction. "That showed, in principle, you could actually light this fusion fuel in a controlled environment on the earth, and that's the first step that you would need to take to be able to potentially produce this clean, limitless energy for the future." Nearly 200 lasers helped ignite first-ever fusion reaction inside a lab The ignition was sparked by 192 lasers, which used its beams to create temperatures topping 180 million degrees – six times hotter than the center of the sun. The Livermore lab was able to reproduce that success earlier this month, when it achieved a nuclear reaction for the fifth time in 14 months. While the milestones have proved to be monumental, the amount of energy produced has been far from substantial. Even the lab's most successful fusion ignition only produced enough power to barely heat up two pots of coffee. In addition, the actual reaction only lasted less than a billionth of a second. To be considered commercially viable, the process would need to generate about 100 times more energy, according to Edwards. Plus, the frequency of reactions would have to increase exponentially – essentially running nonstop. During the lab's most recent experiment on Feb. 12, the fusion reaction produced 5.2 units of energy, known as megajoules. That represented a net gain of energy when compared to the 2.2 megajoules the lasers "delivered" to spark the reaction, however, it took about 300 megajoules of power to energize the lasers enough to produce the ignition. Edwards, whose current role at the lab now focuses on how transform nuclear fusion into a long-term, viable energy source, believes it will require more than just the work of the federal government to dramatically increase efficiency in the process and truly transform fusion into a feasible energy option that can be utilized across the globe. "If we want to do this relatively rapidly, it's going to be critical that we will be partnering with the private sector," Edwards said. "It's a consumer product, so without the private industry I don't see how we get there." Private companies received $6 billion in investments last year to solve nuclear fusion dilemma Last year alone, private companies centering on fusion saw an influx of $6.2 billion in investments – that was $1.4 billion more than the previous year, according to the Fusion Industry Association, which represents more than 100 companies activity experimenting on nuclear fusion or working to support the industry, including Mitsubishi Corp. and Google. "This was something that was always done by governments," said Andrew Holland, the association's CEO. "Now the private industry is coming in and saying we see a pathway to making money on this -- and not in 30 years, but in the timeline of a normal venture capital fund, which is a 10 to 15-year fund." Holland believes "pilot plants" could begin to pop up over the next 15 years, which would be the first to introduce energy generated by nuclear fusion into the power grid, meaning the process could finally be used to create electricity for homes and businesses. "Solving that problem would change life in a fundamental way," said Ed Morse, a Berkeley Professor, engineer, and author on nuclear fusion. "It changes a lot of things." Morse, however, said he remains skeptical about tech companies touting scientific solutions to complicated problems that have remained unsolved for decades. "If anything sounds too good to be true, it probably is," he said. "Some of these concepts are really bad…others are passable." Alpha Ring vows to submit findings to independent researchers for review Alpha Ring said its science has led to more than 15 nuclear reactions inside two of its labs. The energy generated each time has generally only been enough to power a light bulb overnight, but the company says some of its reactions have lasted more than 19 hours – which represents a significant increase from the reaction time achieved at the nation's premiere government lab in Livermore that measured less than a fraction of a second. "The accomplishment of this is just such a big deal," Bass said, who also acknowledged the skepticism he and his company face in asserting such a milestone. "One of the important things when you make a claim like this, where many people will be skeptical, is that this will be able to be reproduced by others." To prove the company's nuclear fusion reactions can, in fact, be reproduced, Alpha Ring plans to submit its findings to a slew of scientific journals for review. The company hopes independent researchers will eventually vouch for the technology and its ability to bring star power to Earth. "This is a huge claim," Bass said. "So they rightfully are going to take their time, be very skeptical, try to poke holes in it in every way they can because the accomplishment of this is just such a big deal."	<urn:uuid:d4ce6805-79e3-4875-9d58-f961e725a6ec>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:44:05Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9707791805267334, "url": "https://www.nbcboston.com/news/national-international/california-nuclear-fusion-cleaner-energy/3294136/" }

NYC subway service snarled due to worker safety concerns after a conductor was slashed in the neck NEW YORK (AP) — Morning commutes on a New York City subway line were severely delayed Thursday after a train conductor was slashed in the neck, with transit officials blaming union members for disrupting service as they demanded safer working conditions. The attack on the conductor happened around 3:40 a.m. as a southbound A train was pulling into a station in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, Transportation Workers Union Local 100 said. The conductor, Alton Scott, was slashed in the neck as he put his head out a window to make sure the track was clear, the union said. He needed 34 stitches to close the deep gash and is now recovering at home. Police said an arrest has not been made. Commuters on the train line awoke to major delays during the morning rush, with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority saying at the time it was "running as much service as we can with the train crews we have available." Normal operations resumed on the subway line later Thursday. Union and city officials offering conflicting versions of what caused the delay. A union spokesperson, Alina Ramirez, said workers reported for work as usual Thursday but remained "on standby" in the hours after the attack until they received safety assurances from transit management, as is typical following such incidents. She added that at least one transit worker filed a safety complaint after the incident, trigging officials to conduct an inspection of the station before service could resume. But later Thursday, Richard Davey, president of New York City transit for the MTA, told reporters that "union leadership decided to put on some kind of work stoppage charade which impacted a couple of hundred thousand New Yorkers commuters today on the A and the C." "Look we have evidence — by the way our employees wanted to move the trains, we have evidence that union officials were standing in the doors preventing the trains from moving," Davey said. Ramirez did not respond to a voicemail and text message seeking a response to Davey's comments. Earlier Thursday, she stressed that the union did not authorize any official work stoppage or slowdown. New York state has a law in place that blocks public employees from striking. Davey said the agency's lawyers were reviewing the incident. Both sides agreed more needs to be done to keep workers safe. "We're facing heinous crimes and brutal assaults. Enough is enough," said Richard Davis, the union's president. The MTA has been experimenting with installing physical barriers such as orange rubber poles at some subway stops to deter attacks on subway conductors.	<urn:uuid:66c6a81b-f558-47c0-8272-5c5a960426e8>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:44:05Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9789775609970093, "url": "https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/nyc-subway-service-snarled-due-to-worker-safety-concerns-after-a-conductor-was-slashed-in-the-neck/" }

I've always felt like Noel Fielding's brand of comedy is the kind of thing that takes some getting used to, sort of like an American in the UK having to adjust to driving on the left side of the road. It's not so much the things he says and does, but how he says and does them — with his inoffensive cheekiness and bumbling buffoonery, a vibe that extends from characters like the weird guy who lives in the server room on The IT Crowd to Dick Turpin, the foppish brigand that Fielding plays in an upcoming Apple TV+ comedy. In The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, the 50-year-old funnyman brings to life the character of a highwayman who actually existed while, at the same time, putting Turpin's story through a zany, historical ringer (a la what the Monty Python troupe did to the Arthurian legend). Hijinks of the slapstick sort and witty dialogue abound, as do the requisite jokes about Turpin's name ("I want this Dick in my hands as soon as possible!" thunders one of Turpin's many pursuers). The story: Fielding's Turpin, a vegan who loves herbal tea and is terrible with a musket, ends up the reluctant leader of a gang of outlaws when he accidentally kills their leader. His nemesis, meanwhile, is a corrupt lawman played by Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville. In the Apple TV+ version of this 18th-century story, "Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity, all whilst trying to escape the clutches of the thief-taker." The other wacky characters here include a teenage proprietor of the ne'er-do-wells' favorite pub; a rival highwayman who despises Turpin; Bonneville's underworld kingpin; and a true-crime writer whose breathless pamphlets about Turpin's "exploits" bring him ever closer to his quixotic ambition: To become a legendary freebooter. Release date: The first two episodes of the show debut on Apple TV+ on March 1, followed by a new episode every Friday through March 29. From the batch of screener episodes that Apple made available to the press early, a thought struck me: If there's still a Jolly Roger-sized hole in your heart after Max's cancellation of Our Flag Means Death, I suspect this new Apple comedy will be right up your alley. Check out a trailer for The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin below.	<urn:uuid:f08b80f7-e248-420a-a478-80e4f5b7879c>	{ "date": "2024-03-01T00:44:07Z", "dump": "CC-NEWS-2024-03", "file_path": "/data/datasets/text/pretraining_datasets/finenews/cc_dumps/2024/03/part0/CC-NEWS-20240301003327-02647.warc.gz", "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9536505341529846, "url": "https://bgr.com/entertainment/the-completely-made-up-adventures-of-dick-turpin-what-to-know-about-apples-wickedly-funny-comedy/" }
