Donald Trump has left the Republican Party, an aide told CNN today, rekindling speculation that the real estate mogul and reality television star is preparing to run for president next year as an independent.
Michael Cohen says Trump changed his voter registration on Thursday from Republican to “unaffiliated.” He said Trump is “disgusted with the way Republicans are handling” the payroll tax cut extension and their actions were partly to blame for his party change.
The move comes less than two weeks after Trump backed out of moderating a Dec. 27 debate in Iowa. Only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum had agreed to participate in the debate.
At the time, Trump issued a statement blamed GOP presidential candidates’ worries that he might run as an independent.
For his part, Trump has refused to rule out a possible bid if he is unhappy with the party’s eventual nominee.


Kim Jong-un rings in new year by ordering ‘exponential increase’ of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal
Kim Jong-un has called for an “exponential” expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal as the country’s new year began with another round of weapons testing following a record number of testing activities in 2022.
Mr Kim announced the new expansion plans for the regime’s nuclear arsenal during an address at a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, state media said. “The prevailing situation calls for making redoubled efforts to overwhelmingly beef up the military muscle,” Mr Kim said at a recently ended key ruling party meeting, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
During the six-day meeting meant to determine new state objectives, Kim called for “an exponential increase of the country’s nuclear arsenal” to mass produce battlefield tactical nuclear weapons targeting South Korea. He also presented a task to develop a more powerful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a “quick nuclear counterstrike” capability. He said the North’s first military reconnaissance satellite will be launched “at the earliest date possible”, KCNA said.
Mr Kim’s moves are in line with the broad direction of his nuclear weapons development programme, as he has repeatedly vowed to boost the quality and quantity of his arsenal to cope with what he calls US hostility.
Last month, North Korea claimed to have performed key tests needed for the development of a new strategic weapon, a likely reference to a solid-fuelled ICBM, and a spy satellite.
Mr Kim accused South Korea of being “hell-bent on imprudent and dangerous arms build-up” and openly trumpeting its preparations for war with North Korea. The leader is also said to have accused the US of frequently deploying nuclear strike means in South Korea and pushing to establish a Nato-like regional military bloc.
In the wake of the state media reports out of Pyongyang, South Korea’s Defence Ministry reiterated a warning that any attempt to use nuclear weapons by North Korea “will lead to the end of the Kim Jong Un government”. The US has previously made similar warnings.
- “The new year started but our security situation is still very grave,” South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol told top military officers during a video conference. “Our military must resolutely punish any provocation by the enemy with a firm determination that we dare to risk fighting a battle.”
North Korea fired more than 70 missiles last year, including three short-range ballistic missiles detected by South Korea over the weekend. KCNA confirmed that the country conducted the test-firings of its super-large multiple rocket launcher on Saturday and yesterday. Kim Jong-un claimed the rocket launcher puts all of South Korea within striking distance and is capable of carrying a tactical nuclear warhead, according to KCNA.
Tensions between the rival Koreas were raised early last week when South Korea accused North Korea of flying drones across their heavily fortified border for the first time in five years. It responded by sending its own drones toward the North.

The Benefits of Companion Planting Definition of companion planting Historical context and cultural significance How companion planting works Benefits of companion planting (e.g. increased yields, pest control, soil health) Examples of companion planting combinations, start producing content on this topic
Companion planting is a gardening practice that involves planting different crops together in order to benefit one another. This can be done in many different ways, such as by planting complementary plants, using plants to repel pests, or attracting beneficial insects. In this article, we will explore the benefits of companion planting and provide some examples of successful plant combinations.
Definition of Companion Planting
Companion planting is a method of planting different crops together in order to benefit one another. This can be done in a variety of ways, including planting complementary plants that have different nutrient needs, planting plants that repel pests, or using plants to attract beneficial insects. The goal of companion planting is to create a healthy and productive garden ecosystem.
Historical Context and Cultural Significance
Companion planting has been used for centuries by different cultures around the world. For example, the Native American Three Sisters garden, which consists of corn, beans, and squash planted together, is a well-known example of companion planting. The beans fix nitrogen in the soil, which the corn needs to grow, and the squash provides shade and helps retain moisture in the soil.
In Europe, companion planting was widely used during the Middle Ages. For example, farmers would plant marigolds among their crops to repel pests and attract beneficial insects. In China, companion planting has been used for over 2,000 years to control pests and improve soil health.
How Companion Planting Works:
Companion planting works by creating a mutually beneficial relationship between two or more plant species. This can occur in several ways:
- Nutrient sharing: Different plants have different nutrient needs, and some plants can help to provide the nutrients that others need. For example, legumes are able to fix nitrogen in the soil, which can benefit nearby plants that require nitrogen.
- Pest control: Some plant species are able to repel pests, while others can attract beneficial insects that prey on pests. For example, marigolds are known to repel nematodes, while planting dill or fennel can attract ladybugs and lacewings, which are natural predators of aphids.
- Shade and support: Some plants can provide shade for others, which can help to regulate soil temperature and moisture levels. Additionally, taller plants can provide support for trailing or climbing plants, which can help to conserve space and increase yields.
Benefits of Companion Planting:
Companion planting offers several benefits for gardeners, including:
- Increased yields: By planting complementary species together, gardeners can create an environment that is more conducive to plant growth and development. This can result in higher yields and better-quality produce.
- Pest control: Companion planting can help to reduce the need for chemical pesticides by attracting beneficial insects that prey on pests or repelling pests through natural means.
- Soil health: By diversifying plant species and promoting nutrient sharing, companion planting can help to improve soil health and fertility over time.
Examples of Companion Planting Combinations:
Here are a few examples of successful companion planting combinations:
- Three Sisters: This Native American technique involves planting corn, beans, and squash together. The corn provides support for the beans, while the beans fix nitrogen in the soil for the benefit of all three plants. The squash provides ground cover, which helps to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.
- Tomatoes and Basil: Planting basil near tomatoes can help to repel pests such as tomato hornworms, while also improving the flavor of the tomatoes. Additionally, basil is known to attract bees and other beneficial insects.
- Carrots and Onions: Planting onions near carrots can help to repel carrot flies, while the carrots can help to improve soil health by breaking up compacted soil and promoting nutrient sharing.
- Cucumbers and Radishes: Planting radishes near cucumbers can help to deter cucumber beetles, while the cucumbers provide support for the climbing radishes.
Overall, companion planting is a versatile and effective technique that can help to improve the health and productivity of your garden. By choosing complementary plant species and creating a diverse and balanced ecosystem, you can enjoy higher yields, better soil health, and a more sustainable approach to gardening.

Laramie, Wyo. – In its fifth year, the Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt brings women from across the nation together at the Ranch at Ucross in northeast Wyoming for a weekend of hunting, mentorship and camaraderie. It also raises funds and awareness for the Wyoming Women’s Foundation (WYWF). The event continues to find wide support across the country and bring in some big names in hunting. This year the hunt welcomes Courtney Nicolson, a Denver-based outdoor writer, producer and editor.
Nicolson is a senior writer/producer for Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks, working on content for Sportsman Channel, Outdoor Channel and World Fishing Network. Nicolson also writes a monthly column for Women’s Outdoor News called “She Guides,” which spotlights women hunting guides around the world. She is an avid hunter and angler, but didn’t grow up hunting.
Like 12 of the 44 hunters who will be participating at this year’s event, Nicolson’s first hunt experience was alongside a more experienced female hunter. Something she feels is positive.
“It’s important that the people teaching hunting aren’t just men,” says Nicolson, who also notes she’s teaching her dad to hunt. “If hunting is to continue as a tradition, we need everyone’s help.”
Sarah Chapman, Wyoming Women’s Foundation Director, is delighted to have Nicolson in attendance. “We feel so fortunate to have someone as experienced and enthusiastic as Courtney joining us! All of the hunters can learn so much from her.”
Beyond hunting, the fifth annual Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt raises awareness of and funds for the Wyoming Women’s Foundation whose mission is to help women achieve economic self-sufficiency.
The Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt will be Oct. 12-15 at the Ranch at Ucross, 17 miles outside of Buffalo. The event provides training on all aspects of hunting, from harvesting to processing. For more information visit www.WyomingWomensAntelopeHunt.org or call 307.721.7007.
The Wyoming Women’s Foundation is a priority fund of the Wyoming Community Foundation, which granted out over $8.1 million to nonprofits across the state in 2016.

FOX 5 News anchor Alyse Eady is not here for Twitter users denying her ethnicity.
Eady, 34, stunned Atlanta's FOX 5 viewers by wearing an ethnic braided hairstyle while on the air. According to news analysts, braided extension hairstyles violates dress code and journalistic standards in some markets.
Eady, a former Miss Arkansas 2010 and Miss America 2011 runner-up, checked a follower who objected to her wearing braids extensions because she is white.
The tweet was deleted, but the man referred to Eady as a culture vulture - a public figure who misappropriates another culture.
Eady may look biracial or mixed race, but looks can be deceiving. Google Images shows both of her parents are fully Black.
"Who's gonna tell him...," Eady tweeted to her followers after the man's offensive comment. She followed up with another tweet: "I'm BLACK! And if you feel foolish now, you should."
Eady's followers were supportive and praised her for passionately defending her Black heritage.

The American Medical Association's new accreditation guidelines suggest genetic testing of Black patients is racist - and such testing must end.
The AMA and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) are the same groups that recently released a new "Health Equity" guidance banning common terms such as "morbid obesity."
READ ALSO: American Medical Association Cancels ‘Morbid Obesity,’ ‘Inmates,’ ‘Homeless’
The AMA and AAMC claim genetic testing of minority patients is racist and can "create harm" and "leads directly to racial health inequities."
However, some medical conditions disproportionately affect minorities, such as Blacks, Hispanics and Jews.
Marko Geber / DigitalVision
Sickle cell anemia is more common in people of African descent (8 of 10 sickle cell patients are Black). The sickle cell trait can also affect Hispanics.
The AMA and AAMC also recommended that the licensing exam for new doctors change from numerical scoring to pass-fail.
A group of Black doctors and professors warn that the new accreditation guidelines puts minorities and the general public at risk of serious harm or death.
Five black professors told the New England Journal of Medicine in March, that denying genetic race testing is "a form of naive 'color blindness'" that would "perpetuate and potentially exacerbate disparities."
Jeff Singer, a general surgeon in Arizona, says "A lot of conditions," such as triple-negative breast cancer, which disproportionately affects Black women - "vary based on genetics. We're talking about matters of life and death here."
Singer argues that the AMA and AAMC's accreditation guidance will result in doctors who are under qualified and put lives at risk.
"They're trying to superimpose social science onto medical science," Singer said. "But as a consumer of health care, I'd just like to know that whoever is treating me is qualified. Because my life is on the line."

Paula Patton opened up about her racial identity in a sit-down interview with SiriusXM's "The Clay Cane Show."
Paula, whose mother is white and father is Black, says she's "grateful" for her mother, but the term "biracial" offends her sensibilities.
"I find [the term] biracial offensive. It's a way for people to separate themselves from African Americans, a way of saying, 'I'm better than that,'" She told Cane.
Image Press / BACKGRID
"That's not to say that I don't embrace my mother and everything that she's brought to my life, but it was my mother who let me know, 'The world is going [to] see you as Black and that is who you are. So don't have any questions about that."
"I'm very grateful for her... The politics of race in our country are such that when [some]one wants to make it very clear that they're not Black, it's a way to keep them separate from Black people. We know, we've had a long history in this country of it not being popular to be Black, to be honest with you. I've always found that to be an offensive term. I'm Black and I embrace it, that's my family."
Paula reprises her role as entertainment attorney Daniella Hernandez in The BET+ series "Sacrifice," which is streaming now.

UnitedHealth Group, the nation's largest health insurance company, will begin matching patients with doctors based on their race.
According to UHC, matching patients with doctors of the same race will result in improved clinical outcomes, since same race physicians "often possess deeper knowledge of social determinants affecting their patients."
During a presentation in December, UHC said Black doctors "often understand African American patients' predisposition for colon cancer and pregnancy issues."
It isn't clear who biracial and mixed-race people will be matched with.
The insurance company said matching patients with doctors of the same race will bring down insurance costs and "lead to increased access to care and preventible health measures."
"Consumers would like to establish relationships with physicians who they are comfortable with -physicians of similar backgrounds, life experience, etc," read one slide in the presentation.
Another slide reads: "Clinical evidence shows that consumers benefit from having physicians of same race for diagnosis and treatment of frequently occurring medical conditions."
UHC will begin encouraging doctors to add racial information to their in-network directory profiles to help potential patients choose them based on skin color.
According to the company website, UHC takes pride in providing a culture of inclusiveness and diversity among its 125,000 clinicians.
While some Black doctors expressed optimism in the new initiative, some white doctors were offended.
"I don't like it because my race has nothing to do with my abilities," wrote one Caucasian doctor in a "2020 UHC Directory Survey" of doctors.
Another wrote: "This is an invasion of privacy and has no place in a professional setting."
And a third white doctor wrote: "I would refuse."
68 percent of doctors surveyed said they were willing to share their race in a physician directory.
The Centers for Disease Control has issued guidance to every state to prioritize ethnic minorities -- specifically Black males -- as a "vulnerable community" when it comes to vaccine distribution.
As a result, half of the country's states are now prioritizing Black, Hispanic, and Native American residents over white people for vaccine distribution.
25 states, including Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia have all committed to allow Blacks and Hispanics to jump the line for vaccinations.
Additionally, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Indiana have declared "fairness" or "equity" as determining factors in prioritizing minority and "historically marginalized populations" over whites for vaccinations, even if not specifically designating minorities by name.

The CDC guidance is predicated on recommendations from Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates, who have no medical degrees. Both have been involved in funding vaccine development and have been lobbying since June for ethnic minorities to be second in line behind healthcare workers for the mRNA vaccinations.
Melinda Gates specifically urged prioritizing Black men for the mRNA vaccinations.
"We are seeing black men die at a disproportionate rate," Gates said in an interview with Time magazine. "We know the way out of COVID-19 will be a vaccine, and it needs to go out equitably."

A week after NBC News announced it was capitalizing the 'B' when referring to Black people, CNN announced it would also capitalize the 'B' in reference to Black people and capitalize the 'W' for whites.
CNN announced its decision after viewers called them out for referring to Black people with a lower case 'b' on their website.
"When referring to the racial categories of Black and White, CNN style is changing to capitalizing both words," wrote Tim Langmaid, vice president and senior editorial director, in an evening email to staffers.
"Both words denote a racial or ethnic identity and therefore should be upper case when referring to a person, community, culture, etc., in the same way CNN capitalizes other descriptors of race, ethnicity and shared identity, including African American, Native American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, Asian American, African, and other terms," he explained.
Blogs such as Sandrarose.com have always capitalized the 'B', but mainstream news outlets began adjusting their reporting style amid racial tensions following the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, at the hands of police.
NBC News on Friday announced it was capitalizing the 'B' when referring to Black people across all of the networks' platforms.
NBC News is adjusting its reporting style amid racial tensions following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
Floyd, 46, died when a white officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. His brutal death sparked protests across the country.
NBC joins BuzzFeed News, MSNBC, the LA Times, and USA Today who changed their style guides to capitalize "Black" when referring to Black people.
Capitalizing the 'B' for Black people has been debated by Black scholars over the years, but the debate was never taken seriously by the mainstream media.
Lori L. Tharps, of Temple University, made the case that "when speaking of a culture, ethnicity or group of people, the name should be capitalized."
In 2015, Tharps wrote an op-ed for The New York Times: "The Case for Black with a Capital B."
The Huffington Post wrote:
"I congratulate her for opening a conversation that is long overdue, a conversation that goes to the heart of how a large group of Americans with the most difficult of histories has struggled to express itself and gain greater agency in American society."

Australian stocks jumped Friday after a wave across Wall Street, as Twitter shareholders sued billionaire Elon Musk, accusing him of manipulating the company’s stock price.
The ASX 200 index was up 1.1 percent to 7,184 points at 10:20 a.m. AEST.
All sectors traded higher, with consumer discretionary and technology posting the strongest gains.
Shares of Macquarie Group (+2.2pc), AMP (+2pc), Domain (+1.8pc), Rio Tinto (+1.5pc) and BHP (+1.5pc) have surged in morning trading.
The Australian dollar was slightly higher at 71.1 cents.
In local news, Telstra has paid $11 million to more than 67,000 customers for taking too long to connect or repairing landlines and not shouldering the cost.
The S&P 500 gained 2 percent overnight in New York, closing at 4,058 points. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.6 percent to 11,740, while the Dow Jones index rose 1.6 percent to 32,640.
In the oil markets, Brent crude futures rose 3.2 percent to $117.62 a barrel.
Spot gold fell marginally to $1,849.65 an ounce.
In their court files, the Twitter investors claimed that Elon Musk saved himself $156 million by failing to disclose that he had bought more than 5 percent of Twitter on March 14.
The allegation is that Mr. Musk continued to buy stock afterward and, eventually, revealed in early April that he owned 9.2 percent of the company, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday local time in San Francisco federal court.
They asked to be certified as a class and to be awarded an unspecified amount in damages.
Neither Mr Musk nor his attorney immediately responded to requests for comment. Twitter declined to comment.
The investors also said the recent drop in Tesla stock has put Mr. Musk’s ability to fund his Twitter takeover in “great jeopardy” as he has pledged his shares as collateral to secure the loans he has taken. needs to buy the company.
Shares of Tesla traded at about $713 on Thursday afternoon, down from more than $1,000 in early April.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the timing of Musk’s disclosure of his stake had already prompted an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC requires any investor who purchases an interest greater than 5 percent in a company to disclose their holdings within 10 days of crossing the threshold.
And the investors have also said that Mr. Musk’s public criticism of the company — including a May 13 tweet that said the acquisition was “temporarily on hold” until Twitter proved that less than 5 percent of users were spam bots — amounted to an attempt to drive the share price further down.
Mr. Musk has pledged an additional $6.25 billion in equity financing to fund his Twitter offer, a sign that he is still working to complete the deal.
Telstra’s $11 Million Compensation
Telsta has admitted that an IT glitch led the company to accept responsibility for refunding customers more than 67,000 times between 2017 and 2021 within 14 days.
Under industry rules, telcos that fail to meet fixed connections and repairs deadlines have 14 days to assess whether they accept liability.
Telstra itself reported the matter to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), saying it had always intended to refund the money to customers, but it simply took too long to do so.
“We identified an IT issue that prevented some customers from receiving Customer Service Guarantee payments when they should have,” said a company spokesperson.
“After this, we dug deeper into our systems to verify CSG payments, and this identified a number of other cases where payments were not made when they should have been.
“We process millions of customer transactions every week, but this is clearly not the experience we want to offer our customers… we are improving the system to better automate payments.”
In addition to paying $11 million in damages, Telstra has made a court-enforceable commitment to improve its payment review solution and to report regularly on its compliance with its compensation rules for two years.
ACMA chairman Nerida O’Loughlin said Telstra had let its customers down.
“Telstra knows it has had a problem with its internal systems and processes, discovered through its T22 business strategy… the company has self-reported these and other recent breaches,” she said.
“It is critical that Telstra addresses these long-standing challenges when building new systems and processes and, where required, compensates its customers for historic telecom rule violations.”
‘Aggressive’ rate hikes
On a weekly basis, US markets are on track to break their longest losing streak in decades, in which the S&P benchmark plunged 14.1 percent and brought it close to being confirmed as a bear market.
Minutes from the Fed’s May meeting, released local time on Wednesday, show a majority of its officials are behind rate hikes of 50 basis points each in June and July to curb high inflation.
However, the US central bank also indicated that it could pause its rate hikes in September.
“The Fed has locked itself in delivering a few half-point rate hikes until the Jackson Hole Symposium, and that has removed the risk of aggressive short-term tightening,” said OANDA analyst Edward Moya.
At current levels, all three US indices are poised to record their biggest weekly gains since mid-March.
“If the Fed is too aggressive, they will choke inflation, but also economic growth,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research.

All-Star reserves named
Garner and Guillen name baseball's elite position players
By Jim Street / MLB.com
When it was all said and done, the Major League players and baseball fans saw eye-to-eye in selecting the National starters for the 77th All-Star Game, and NL manager Phil Garner shied away from padding the roster with his own players. All eight of the NL starters named Sunday night were the leading vote-getters at their respective positions by the fans and players. And although none of the players from the reigning NL champion Houston Astros were selected by fans or players, Astros manager Phil Garner chose just one of his own -- first baseman Lance Berkman -- as a reserve. While Berkman is the only player representing the Astros (barring an injury replacement), the Chicago White Sox have six players on the American League team, all of them selected by the players or manager Ozzie Guillen -- with the potential for a seventh. Baseball fans around the world decided that none of the defending World Series champion position players were worthy of All-Star starting status. But MLB players disagreed, voting for outfielder Jermaine Dye and infielder Jim Thome. Guillen, with help from others, selected White Sox starter Mark Buehrle and closer Bobby Jenks to the AL pitching staff, along with first baseman Paul Konerko, and catcher A.J. Pierzynski is one of five Final Vote candidates. Now in its fifth year, the Monster.com 2006 All-Star Final Vote gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately following Sunday's Major League All-Star Selection Show presented by Chevrolet, and continues until 6 p.m. ET Thursday. The winners will be announced on ESPN and MLB.com shortly thereafter. There are two ways for fans to vote for the 2006 All-Star Final Vote -- online now at MLB.com, or on-the-go from their cell phones. Fans can also text the word "VOTE" to 36197 to have the All-Star Final Vote Candidates sent to your phone. To vote for a specific player, simply reply with your choice. For $.30 per text message vote, fans will have the freedom to vote from wherever they are. Fans can get the mobile ballot now. In Canada, fans should text the word "VOTE" to 28776. The fun doesn't end there, however. Fans, having already decided the starters and final player on each team, once again will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevrolet at the 77th All-Star Game via the Monster 2006 All-Star Game MVP Vote on MLB.com. The All-Star Game, to be held on Tuesday, July 11, at 8 p.m. ET, will be televised nationally by FOX Sports and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage and MLB Radio will provide exclusive play-by-play coverage of the game on the Internet. Besides selecting Buehrle and Jenks from his own pitching staff, Guillen added left-hander Barry Zito from the Oakland Athletics and Mark Redman from the Kansas City Royals to the All-Star staff. The players voted Jose Contreras of the White Sox, Scott Kazmir of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Jon Papelbon of the Boston Red Sox, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, Detroit Tigers starter Kenny Rogers, Toronto Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay and closer B.J. Ryan, and Minnesota Twins left-hander Johan Santana onto the AL team. As for the position backups, Guillen selected Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada and Cleveland Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore and Konerko, while the player picks included Twins catcher Joe Mauer, White Sox slugger Jim Thome, Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus, Michael Young of the Texas Rangers and outfielders Vernon Wells and Alex Rios of the Blue Jays. However, a leg infection will prevent Rios from playing, and he has been replaced by Rangers outfielder Gary Matthews Jr., one of two injury replacements. Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, selected by the players vote, has a hamstring injury and was replaced on the All-Star team by Mariners second baseman Jose Lopez. Putting Tejada on the team provides an opportunity for the All-Star Game to have the same player capture the Most Valuable Player Award in back-to-back seasons for the first time in the Midsummer Classic's history.

Cranston, Rhode Island: Drug abuse trends
Almost every city in Rhode Island experienced a significant increase in drug overdoses in 2020; Cranston was among some of the highest. According to recent data, 72 percent of all overdoses in Rhode Island in 2020 were caused by illicit drugs. Every age group experienced increased drug use, and people between 45 and 54 experienced the most considerable increase.
Fentanyl was involved in at least 75 percent of all overdoses in 2020, whereas it was only involved in about 5 percent of overdose deaths in 2012. Prescription drugs accounted for about 9 percent of overdose deaths.
Governor Dan McKee’s Overdose Prevention and Intervention Task Force highlighted several plans to reduce the number of deadly overdoses in Rhode Island. Some of these plans include:
Police seized three kilos of methamphetamine and arrested Cranston man
Rhode Island State Police arrested a 43-year-old man from Cranston after they found three kilos of methamphetamine in his possession. Police consider this a major success as they took such a huge amount of substances off the streets. In addition to methamphetamine, police also seized 254.5 grams of cocaine, 25.6 grams of fentanyl, and more than thirteen thousand in cash. According to authorities, the man could face life in prison and millions in fines if he is convicted.

By Corey Kleinsasser
On May 12, Cal Poly Pomona students protested the university’s lack of changes to current bike lanes since last year’s Bike Week. The group claimed that the university’s Parking and Transportation Services wasn’t committed enough to making CPP bike-friendly.
Mike Biagi, director of PTS, says that one of the things the university has had over the last year is a shift in leadership, and that shift may have hindered some developments on the bike lanes that were advancing.
“President [J. Michael] Ortiz was on his way out, President [Soraya] Coley is now here and there was a lot of transition that went with that,” said Biagi. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that all the programs just continue to move along as they always did. We want to make sure that before we go off in one direction, that the leadership is with us.”
Biagi wants to make sure that members of the university community are on the same page before anything is resumed.
“We’re not the lead agency for Bike Week,” said Biagi. “We’re not the lead agency to establish new bike lanes on campus. We are very willing and eager to participate and partner with whoever it is that’s going to be identified.”
The Bike Week protest featured individuals that were frustrated by the lack of progress for the alteration of bike lanes. Biagi believes that demonstrations like this creates awareness around campus.
“I think we need to continue to move, and I think that this protest that happened recently will help us do that,” said Biagi.
The deaths of CPP students Matthew Myers and Ivan Aguilar ” killed by motorists in 2005 and 2013, respectively ” affected the campus, as well as PTS. The department evaluated the circumstances in each individual accident.
“Ivan was on a bike [and] Matt was on foot [at] different points of Kellogg [Lane],” said Biagi. “That did cause us to take a look at the corner of Kellogg and make some analysis of whether it was safe and what needs to be done, if anything. The facilities folks and the transportation planners took a good hard look at that.”
Like all large matters on campus, altering bike lanes will take time and may take away from other matters that may be of concern.
“It’s a balance between having bike lanes where there are currently parking spaces and not having enough parking spaces already,” said Biagi. “Do we want to take more parking away?
“[These are] some things we really need to plan with engineers for some period of time. We can all sit in a room and decide it’s a good idea and our traffic engineer that we have can say, ‘Ok. This sounds good.’ And we can just go out and do it. It really depends on what we’re doing as to how long it might take to do.”
Biagi says that safety is a concerted effort for everyone on campus.
“There’s a certain element of responsibility that everyone shares for safety on campus, whether you’re driving through a parking lot or riding your bicycle or skateboard through a parking lot, it can be dangerous,” said Biagi. “We all have a joint responsibility for safety on this campus.”
According to Biagi, PTS does listen when students, faculty and staff voice their opinions concerning safety and how the campus can improve on the issues that are bothering them.
“We take that information, we take a look at it, and if it needs further study we send it to the folks that we have on staff, and our consultants, and we develop it further,” said Biagi. “It can come in a variety of different fashions, but every suggestion that students make, or that faculty and staff make, for that matter, is taken seriously and looked at for the merits that it may have.”
As an avid cyclist who bikes to and from campus, Biagi does have one improvement that he would like to see implemented.
“I would like to see on Kellogg, the signs on the ground that show the bike with the arrows that indicate to vehicle drivers that cyclists use this lane as well,” said Biagi. “That would be a helpful symbol to bring awareness to vehicle drivers that you’re going to see bikes in this lane.”

Java Monkey Gig
The latest gig at Java Monkey was fantastic. Despite the colder weather, the people kept pouring in. Perhaps it was for a warming cup of coffee, or for the warming effect of alcohol, or hopefully the great music.
Ben and I played non-stop for over two hours. Some highlights for me were when people danced during two songs despite the fact that we didn't have a drummer, and when I ran in for more beers while Ben played, came back out and joined in the song before even sitting back down. It felt like a movie moment, like when the band is able to play something perfectly when a person from the crowd comes up to sing and asks them to play some random song in D...
We had a couple of our fans show up, and hopefully made some new ones. Phyllis brought a friend all the way from Chicago, and Lee came with a posse in tow. Lee took some photos and sent them to me. Click on the picture above to see the four shots.

It will open a Spanish-language Center of Excellence in Miramar, Florida (Miami-Ft. Lauderdale) in May and employ more than 300 customer account execs exclusively dedicated to handling sales calls from Spanish-speaking consumers across the country.
According to the 2010 U.S. Census results, the Hispanic population in the US has surpassed 50 million. Comcast has dramatically increased the amount of Spanish-language programming on TV, On Demand and online (XfinityTV.com/latinotv) with the launch of Xfinity TV in Spanish. It also launched a Spanish version of SmartZone Communications Center, an online destination where customers can access and control their email, voice mail, address book and calendar as well as program their DVR.
Comcast is currently accepting applications for the new jobs at comcast.com/careers. To fill these roles, the company is looking for individuals who are bilingual in Spanish and English, and who have at least one to two years of sales experience.
The move was applauded by leaders in the state of Florida and the Hispanic community.
“As Governor, I am working to make Florida the No. 1 place for job creation so that successful companies like Comcast will grow and expand in our state,” said Florida Governor Rick Scott. “The diversity of our people and our commitment to giving Florida’s business environment a competitive edge over other states will increase economic opportunities for all Floridians. I applaud Comcast for their investment in Florida’s Spanish-language communities by creating this new call center in Miramar.”
“Throughout the years, Comcast has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Hispanic community, and once again it is taking its commitment to the next level by opening a 300-person Center of Excellence specifically designed to serve Spanish-speaking consumers,” said Javier Palomarez, President and CEO of the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “Comcast stands out in the business community for its understanding of the Hispanic population and should be applauded for this investment.”

The amount of disease-carrying ticks in the northeast, and in most other regions of the US, are increasing dramatically, and so is the rate of human tick-borne disease cases. Lyme disease is easily the most common tick-borne disease contracted in the northeast, as some experts state that as many as 44,000 new cases are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each year. Due to the tick threat, many residents of the northeastern states have become accustomed to spraying themselves with DEET repellents and wearing long-sleeved clothing before venturing into wooded areas. Unfortunately, sustaining bites from infected ticks is now becoming more common in residential yards, especially yards with overlong grass, but high tick populations have been recorded in well maintained lawns in the northeast as well. Now, even stepping outside may require the application of tick-repellents, and pets are more likely than ever to bring ticks into homes after spending time outdoors. However, in some cases, ticks can bite those who are drenched in DEET repellent products. Obviously, DEET repellent should never be applied to the eyes, and most people are just fine with this, after all, will a tick really bite a person on the eyeball? The answer to this question is “yes,” as a man recently struggled to remove a tick that had become embedded in his eye.
One month ago, an outdoor electrical worker, Chris Prater, reported to work after spraying himself without tick-repellent. By the end of the day, Prater experienced eye-discomfort, which prompted his boss and colleagues to inspect his eye for anything out of the ordinary. The amatuer eye examination turned up a small “object” on Prater’s eye, but nobody present was aware that what they were looking at was a tick. After spending hours attempting to remove the object with saline solution at an emergency eyewash station, Prater finally reported to the doctor where he learned that the object in his eye was actually a deer tick. The doctor numbed Prater’s eye before using tweezers to remove the tick, which apparently made a popping sound just as the bloodsucking arachnid was being pulled off. Prater claimed that he never would have guessed that the object in his eye was a tick, and now he is warning others about falling victim to his experience. Back in 2011, a medical journal described an identical case, which involved the same method of removal.

Zeiss LSM 780 Confocal Microscope
The Zeiss LSM 780 is an upright confocal (objectives are above the sample) that enables confocal, spectral, and multiphoton excitation imaging. The non-descanned detection system can be used for two-photon excitation fluorescence or detection of second harmonic generation (SHG) in the forward and reverse directions. The 780 is particularly well-suited for intravital imaging of small animals.
-Spectral imaging with linear unmixing. It can be used to remove background autofluorescence or for multicolor imaging when spectral overlaps between colors cannot be separated with standard confocal microscopy.
-Multiphoton excitation microscopy. It can be used to image up to 10x deeper than confocal microscopy. The upright configuration, non-descanned detection system and the Z-deck add-on are ideal for intravital imaging of small animals. The system is also ideal for reverse and forward detection of second harmonic generation (e.g. can be used to image collagen fibers).
-Confocal reflection microscopy. It can be used to image collagen fibers and surface microtopography.
-FRET, FRAP, FLIP.
-Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy imaging. It provides quantitative data on concentrations, diffusion coefficients, molecular transport and interactions.
-Tile scanning to image a large field at high resolution.

Mean Offshore Refractive Conditions during the CASPER East Field Campaign
Alappattu, Denny P.
MetadataShow full item record
In this study, we use observational and numerical model data from the Coupled Air Sea Processes and Electromagnetic Ducting Research (CASPER) field campaign to describe the mean refractive conditions offshore Duck, North Carolina. The U.S. Navy operational numerical weather prediction model known as the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) performed well forecasting large-scale conditions during the experiment, with an observed warm bias in SST and cold and dry biases in temperature and humidity in the lowest 2000 m. In general, COAMPS underpredicted the number of ducts, and they were weaker and at lower height than those seen in observations. It was found that there is a noticeable diurnal evolution of the ducts, more over land than over the ocean. Ducts were found to be more frequent over land but overall were stronger and deeper over the ocean. Also, the evaporative duct height increases as one moves offshore. A case study was chosen to describe the electromagnetic properties under different synoptic conditions. In this case the continental atmospheric boundary layer dominates and interacts with the marine atmospheric boundary layer. As a result, the latter moves around 80 km offshore and then back inland after 2 h.
