Great Presents To Bring To A Baby Shower Party
| null | null |
www.senecaglobe.com
|
While there is nothing cuter than baby clothes and blankets, there is more to kids than clothes. It’s time we leave attire behind and move onto more useful gifts the parents will appreciate for months to come. A practical gift that makes the parent’s life easier on a daily basis, something that goes beyond clothes and toys. Here are some great presents for a baby shower to give the baby boy or girl and the parents.
Baby Carrier
Carrying your baby around everywhere you go can be hard, which is why you need some extra support. An adjustable baby carrier can help relieve the pressure/pain from the parent’s back and help them get things done in no time. Rather than tending to your baby at all times, you can easily keep them close to you and get things done at the same time.
Baby Monitor
One of the best gifts you can give to a parent to be is a baby monitor. It does not matter if you choose an audio monitor or a video monitor, they offer a sense of relief to new parents. Especially when it’s their first child, they find it hard to part from them even for a moment. However, the negative drawback is the fact that parents are required to get it all done
High Chair
While it might sound like a thing of the future, but in a few months, parents will love you for the amazing gift! A high chair is not just a place where their baby will sit and eat, it’s a place where they can safely contain their child as they feed them. Among the top baby boy gifts to get, the high chair offers great use for a few good years, keeping them at the same height as your dining table, so they are close enough, but the dishes are out of their reach.
Stroller
A baby stroller is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can offer new parents. A safe mode of transportation that can help secure their child, and all they need before heading out. Something they will get great use out of in years to come. There is a wide range of strollers to choose from, so you can easily find one that matches the parent’s lifestyle.
Versatile Car Seat
A versatile car seat can easily be transformed into a stable feeding station, rocker, car seat, or a baby carrycot. A single-seat that offers great use for parents, while keeping the baby safe and secure at all times.
Gift Card
If you feel the parents will make the best choice based on what they have and what they need, choose to gift a Gift Card. This way the parents can pick the gift they really need, without going through the hassle of changing what you got them in the first place.
When it comes to choosing a great present for a baby shower, it’s best to consider the parents, and their lifestyle. This way you can easily choose something that supports them in their day to day life, and something they will actually use. Rather than going for things that look cute, it’s time we keep the gift’s purpose in mind as well.

Iran's president criticizes summon of telecom minister

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has criticized the country’s hard-liner dominated judiciary over last week’s prosecution of the country’s telecommunications minister. Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi was released on bail after he was summoned for prosecution. Judiciary officials cited his refusal to block Instagram and impose limitations on the bandwidth of other foreign social media and messaging systems. Speaking in a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, Rouhani said improving the bandwidth of the Internet was done on his orders. “If you want to try someone, try me. It was my order,” he said.

Taiwan welcomes controversial visit by US Ambassador Craft

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan says it welcomes the upcoming visit of a U.S. ambassador next week in the final week of the Trump administration in a move that China has already strongly warned against. The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft will visit Taipei between Jan. 13-15. That’s a week before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he was sending Craft to Taiwan to show “what a free China could achieve.” It is yet another move from the Trump administration to step up its official interactions with the island. The outreach has angered China, which considers Taiwan to be part of its territory.

Lawyer: New Kansas lawmaker reaches deal to end court order

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An attorney says an incoming Kansas lawmaker who faced a possible attempt to oust him once he took office has reached a legal agreement with a woman accusing him of harassment to end an anti-stalking court order against him. The order entered by a state court judge last month against Rep.-elect Aaron Coleman of Kansas City, Kansas, was a key reason for the potential attempt by fellow Democrats to expel the 20-year-old. Attorney Barry Grissom represents the woman who accused Coleman of harassing her last year and sent The Associated Press a statement Wednesday saying the two settled her civil lawsuit that led to the judge’s no-contact restraining order.

Trump joins a select few in skipping Biden's inauguration

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s decision to skip President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is not without precedent, though one must go back to Andrew Johnson in 1869 to find the most recent example. John Adams and John Quincy Adams also opted not to participate in a tradition that began with George Washington. Presidential historians say the tradition of outgoing presidents attending the inauguration is the “ultimate healing gesture” and also reminds potential adversaries of the nation’s strength.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A senior campaign official tells The Associated Press that former White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders plans to run for Arkansas governor. The official spoke on Sunday night on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The official said Sanders plans to announce her candidacy Monday. The daughter of former Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sanders had been widely expected to run for the office after leaving the White House. She joins a GOP primary that includes Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. Current GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson is barred by term limits from seeking re-election next year.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Newly released police video shows that an Illinois teen accused of killing two people during unrest in Wisconsin and his mom were fixated on social media comments about them in the hours after his August arrest. The Chicago Tribune reports that police in Antioch, Illinois, on Monday released four hours of video taken after Kyle Rittenhouse turned himself in hours after the Aug. 25 protest in Kenosha. After Rittenhouse said he wanted a lawyer, police left him in the interrogation room with his mother. Wendy Rittenhouse spent the next several hours scrolling through her phone. At one point she lamented about people posting derogatory remarks about them on Facebook.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal has started consultations with other European Union countries to find common ground for a new policy on migration. The issue has caused humanitarian crises and deep political divisions in the bloc over how to respond. Portugal is working on a concept of “flexible, mandatory solidarity” between countries, according to a statement Tuesday from Portugal’s Home Affairs Minister. Defining what that concept entails is Portugal’s goal for a meeting of EU justice and home affairs ministers on Jan. 28. Portugal holds the EU’s rotating presidency for the first half of this year. Finding consensus for a common EU policy on migration has eluded the bloc for years.

LONDON (AP) — Albert Roux, the French-born chef and restaurateur who along with his late brother Michel had a profound influence on British dining habits, has died. He was 85. His family said in a statement Wednesday that Roux died on Monday after being unwell for a while. The brothers are widely credited with revolutionizing Britain’s staid and old-fashioned culinary scene, notably with their opening of Le Gavroche in London in 1967, a restaurant that was frequented by a loyal clientele that included many of the icons of the Swinging Sixties in London. Albert’s son, Michel Roux Jr., who now runs the restaurant, said his father was “a mentor for so many people in the hospitality industry, and a real inspiration to budding chefs.”

Hiring likely weakened in December amid resurgent virus

WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s employers likely cut back again on hiring last month — and might even have shed jobs — with the economy under pressure from a resurgent virus that has led many consumers to reduce spending and states and cities to reimpose business restrictions. Economists have forecast that employers added just 105,000 jobs in December. That would mark the sixth straight month that hiring has slowed from the previous month and the lowest job gain since May. It would also leave the economy 9.8 million jobs short of the number it had before the pandemic intensified in March. The unemployment rate is projected to rise from 6.7% to 6.8%, which would be the first increase since April.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has announced that the first presidential and parliamentary elections since 2006 will be held later this year. The voting is seen as a key step in mending a rift between Abbas’ Fatah party that rules the West Bank and the Islamic militant group Hamas that controls the Gaza Strip. But the road to elections is littered with obstacles. Parliamentary elections are to be held on May 22, followed by a presidential vote on July 31. The factions will meet in Egypt later this month, hoping to settle their differences before election campaigning kicks off.

Pence seeks dismissal of suit aiming to overturn election
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to dismiss a last-gasp lawsuit led by a House Republican that seeks to give Vice President Mike Pence the power to overturn the results of the presidential election won by Joe Biden when Congress formally counts the Electoral College votes next week.
Pence, as president of the Senate, will oversee the Wednesday session and declare the winner of the White House race.
The Electoral College this month cemented Biden’s 306-232 victory, and multiple legal efforts by President Donald Trump’s campaign to challenge the results have failed.
The suit names Pence as the defendant and asks the court to throw out the 1887 law that spells out how Congress handles the vote counting.

In a farewell letter to Congress, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos urged lawmakers to reject policies supported by President-elect Joe Biden, and to protect Trump administration policies that Biden has promised to eliminate. Monday’s letter does not explicitly acknowledge President Donald Trump’s election defeat nor does it refer to Biden by name. Instead, it gives lawmakers “some encouragement and closing thoughts” as DeVos prepares to exit the Education Department. DeVos’ letter offers an unemotional farewell to a Congress that had a chilly relationship with her from the start. Her 2017 Senate confirmation required a tiebreaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.

LONDON (AP) — Despite growing vaccine access, January is looking grim around the globe as the virus resurges and reshapes itself from Britain to Japan to California. It’s filling hospitals anew and shutting down livelihoods as governments race to find solutions like lockdowns to keep people apart. Mexico City’s hospitals hold more virus patients than they ever have. Germany reported one of its highest daily death tolls to date Tuesday. Even virus success story Thailand is fighting an unexpected wave of infections. Doctors are facing or bracing for rising numbers of COVID-19 patients after end-of-year holiday gatherings. And more and more countries are reporting cases of a new, more contagious variant of the virus that has already rampaged across Britain.

Drunk driver arrested for driving up Wisconsin Capitol steps

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say the actions of an intoxicated man who drove his vehicle up the stairs of the Wisconsin Capitol grounds did not appear to be politically motivated. Police say 44-year-old Willie Burks, of Madison, drove up the exterior steps on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and around the exterior of statehouse just before 9:30 p.m. He then left the capitol grounds and drove against traffic before parking his vehicle. Burks was arrested for his third drunken driving offense and taken to the Dane County Jail. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that Madison Police Lt. David Jugovich says there was no indication of a threat to the Capitol, which is under increased security by state and local police and the National Guard.

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say the actions of an intoxicated man who drove his vehicle up the stairs of the Wisconsin Capitol grounds did not appear to be politically motivated. Police say 44-year-old Willie Burks, of Madison, drove up the exterior steps on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and around the exterior of statehouse just before 9:30 p.m. He then left the capitol grounds and drove against traffic before parking his vehicle. Burks was arrested for his third drunken driving offense and taken to the Dane County Jail. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that Madison Police Lt. David Jugovich says there was no indication of a threat to the Capitol, which is under increased security by state and local police and the National Guard.",

BEIRUT (AP) — Family members say Elias Rahbani, a Lebanese composer and lyricist who wrote the music for some of the Arab world’s top performers — including Lebanon’s diva Fairouz — has died after battling COVID-19. He was 82. Rahbani was hospitalized last week suffering low oxygen after he contracted the coronavirus and succumbed to COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, on Monday. Elias was the younger brother of Mansour and Assi Rahbani, the Arab world’s iconic musical duo known as the Rahbani Brothers, who wrote music and plays for Fairouz and other celebrities. Assi Rahbani, who was married to Fairouz, died in 1985, while Mansour passed away in 2009.

The Latest: Republicans object to Arizona vote for Biden
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Congress’ tally of the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden (all times local):
1:15 p.m.
Republicans from the House and Senate have objected to the counting of Arizona’s electoral vote, forcing votes in both chambers on Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
The objection was made by Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar and was signed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Both are Republicans. The two chambers now have two hours to debate the challenge.
Biden won the state by more than 10,000 votes. In all, eight lawsuits challenging Biden’s Arizona win have failed, in part over a lack of evidence.
The state’s Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the dismissal of an election challenge, because the plaintiff lacked the right to bring the suit in the first place. The woman wasn’t a registered voter when she sued.
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, has said there were no irregularities with the vote in her state.
1:15 p.m.
President Donald Trump is taking aim at Republican members of Congress who have refused to join him in his effort to contest the results of the November election he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump on Wednesday told a large crowd of supporters gathered on the Ellipse that they needed to vote these Republicans out of office by putting up challengers in primary elections to push them out.
“If they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight,” Trump said, calling the Republicans who aren’t siding with him “weak.”
Earlier, he named and praised Republicans who have pledged to contest the electoral votes of some states when they come up for approval on Capitol Hill.
His supporters, who braved chilly, windy conditions, chanted “Fight for Trump!”
1:10 p.m.
Congress has begun a joint session to count and confirm the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden.
With supporters of President Donald Trump gathering around the Capitol, more than a dozen Republican senators and more than 100 Republican House members have said they will object to the count from as many as six battleground states. They are echoing Trump’s false claims of widespread fraud.
Their efforts are almost certain to fail as many Republicans have said they will oppose the objections. But the session is expected to last into the night on Wednesday as the House and Senate must consider each objection separately and vote on whether to sustain it.
Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the session. He has no power to overturn the results, despite pressure from Trump to do so.
Biden won the Electoral College 306-232. He is set to be inaugurated Jan. 20.
1 p.m.
Vice President Mike Pence is defying President Donald Trump, saying he does not have the unilateral ability to discard electoral votes that will make Joe Biden president on Jan. 20.
Pence, in a statement issued minutes before he was to begin presiding over a joint session of Congress to count electoral votes, said, “It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.”
Trump has pressured his vice president to toss electors from battleground states that voted for Biden during the session.
12:30 p.m.
President Donald Trump is continuing his pressure-campaign against Vice President Mike Pence, telling thousands of supporters falsely that all Pence has to do to stay in office is send Electoral College votes back to the states to be recertified.
Pence has no such unilateral power under the Constitution and congressional rules that govern the count. It is up to the House and Senate to voice objections, and in any case the states’ electors were chosen in accordance with state law, not fraudulently.
The demonstrators on the Ellipse, south of the White House, cheered Trump on and planned to march to Capitol Hill where Congress will vote to affirm or contest the Electoral College results. The president said he’d be walking with the crowd.
“All Mike Pence has to do is send it back to the states,” Trump said, urging his loyal vice president to join lawmakers who are protesting President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
“Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us,” Trump said, “and if he doesn’t it’s a sad day for our country.” Trump said it would take courage for Pence not to contest the results.
12:15 p.m.
President Donald Trump is vowing that “we will never concede” as he speaks to supporters shortly before Congress is to convene for a joint session to confirm the Electoral College vote won by President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump took the stage at the Save America rally, which drew thousands of supporters who swamped the nation’s capital as the president’s Republican allies in the House and Senate plan to object to his November election loss to Biden.
Trump urged Vice President Mike Pence, who will play a largely ceremonial role in the process, to block certification of Biden’s win. Pence does not have this power.
“Our country has had enough,” Trump said. “We won’t take it anymore.”
11 a.m.
Sen. Mitt Romney says President Donald Trump’s election challenge has “disgraced the office of the presidency.”
Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill ahead of Wednesday’s joint session to confirm Joe Biden’s Electoral College win that he was certain of the outcome.
“I’m confident that we’ll proceed as the Constitution demands and tell our supporters the truth — whether or not they want to hear it,” Romney said.
Republican lawmakers are picking up Trump’s demands to challenge the results from several states. But they are not expected to have enough votes in Congress to change the results. Biden is set to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.
Romney said, “President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency.”
He called the “gambit” of the challenges in Congress “very disappointing.”
8:55 a.m.
President Donald Trump is turning up the pressure on his vice president in a futile effort to overturn the results of the Nov. 3 presidential election in Congress.
Vice President Mike Pence will preside Wednesday over a joint session of lawmakers for the congressional tallying of electoral votes, but his role is only ministerial.
Taking to Twitter, Trump on Wednesday repeated his unfounded assertions that there was widespread election irregularities and fraud — which have been dismissed by federal courts and his own Justice Department.
“All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN,” Trump falsely claimed. “Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!”
Pence has no such unilateral power under congressional rules that govern the count.
More than 100 GOP lawmakers are expected to challenge the officially certified electoral votes of several battleground states. Majorities in both chambers are required to reject the will of voters, but enough Republican lawmakers have said they will join with Democrats to reject the last-ditch move by Trump allies.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Sheriff’s officials say they’ve made an arrest in the fatal shooting of a boy on the Fond du Lac reservation in St. Louis County. Sixteen-year-old Joseph Peterson was found dead in a pickup truck outside a residence on Dec. 28. The teen lived on the reservation near Cloquet. Authorities say an 18-year-old man was arrested Wednesday on the White Earth reservation on a tentative charge of second-degree manslaughter. The suspect’s mother and a 25-year-old man were also questioned about the death. Investigators have not said what might have motivated the crime.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy says the state will appeal the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ rejection of a key permit for a proposed copper and gold mine in a region that supports the world’s largest sockeye salmon runs. Dunleavy called the corps’ decision flawed and said the state must prevent federal agencies from using the regulatory process to keep Alaska from developing its resources. The corps in November determined the project was “contrary to the public interest.” U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, Republicans like Dunleavy, agreed with the corps’ conclusion. Critics of the mine blasted Dunleavy as out of touch with Alaska’s interests.

Czechs to make mandatory minimum of local food in stores
| null | null |

PRAGUE (AP) — The lower house of the Czech Parliament approved on Wednesday a requirement that supermarkets carry a minimum share of local food, a move to be less dependent on imports. The share of Czech food in large stores should be at least 55% in 2022 and increase to at least 73% in 2028. Those who voted in favor of the bill argued that the coronavirus pandemic showed that it is important for the country to be self-sufficient in food production. Eight European Union countries had protested against the bill, saying it would discriminate against imported products, which is illegal under EU rules.

The Latest: China city offers cash for tip on test evaders
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
BEIJING — A city in northern China is offering rewards of 500 yuan ($77) for anyone who reports on a resident who has not taken a recent coronavirus test.
The offer from the government of Nangong comes as millions in the city and its surrounding province of Hebei are being tested as part of efforts to control China’s most serious recent outbreak of COVID-19.
The offering of cash or other rewards for information on political or social nonconformists has a long history in China, but the pandemic is putting a new face on the practice. Those found noncompliant will be forced to undergo testing and a two-week quarantine at their own expense.
China has largely controlled local transmission through the use of measures considered by some to be extreme and highly intrusive, including lockdowns of entire cities and close electronic monitoring of bans on traveling to and from parts of the country.
With next month’s Lunar New Year travel rush looming, the government is telling people to stay put as much as possible and not travel to or from the capital Beijing, disrupting the country’s most important time for family gatherings. Schools are also being let out a week early, although many, including those in Hebei, have already reverted to online learning.
China on Friday reported 53 new cases, including 33 in Hebei. Of those, 31 were in the provincial capital of Shijiazhuang, host to some events for next year’s Winter Olympics.
___
THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— Pfizer study suggests vaccine works against virus variant
— US registering highest deaths yet from the coronavirus
— Brazil’s pandemic deaths top 200,000 amid a return to fun
— Britain’s National Health Service will from next week employ a little-used field hospital specially built at a huge exhibition center in east London in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic last spring.
— Facing criticism over a slow roll out of virus vaccines — with barely 500 people vaccinated in the first week — France’s government has pledged to speed up jabs for the elderly.
— South Africa says it will import 1.5 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to inoculate the country’s health workers.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
SAN FRANCISCO — Facing a massive surge in coronavirus cases, California has been issuing waivers allowing hospitals to temporarily bypass the nation’s only strict nurse-to-patient ratios.
Nurses say that being forced to take on more patients is pushing them to the brink of burnout and affecting patient care.
At least 250 of about 400 hospitals in California have been granted 60-day waivers. They allow ICU nurses to care for three instead of two people and emergency room nurses to oversee six patients instead of three.
Nurses in other states have demanded law-mandated ratios like those in California but so far have failed to get them.
___
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California’s massive coronavirus outbreak is taking a toll both on hospitals and those who staff them.
Nurses at one hospital in the city of Orange say they are seeing a couple of deaths daily in the COVID-19 wards.
Donna Rottschafer, a nurse at St. Joseph Hospital, says she has seen more people die in recent weeks than in decades of nursing.
California on Thursday reported 583 new deaths. There have been more than 28,000 deaths in the state since the start of the pandemic.
Hospitals in many areas have no more ICU beds available for COVID-19 patients. Officials say they are worried that holiday gatherings could swell the hospital population further in the next few weeks.

___
CANBERRA, Australia — Australia is almost halving the number of passengers allowed to arrive by plane in a bid to prevent the spread of a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus first identified in Britain.
A cleaner at a Brisbane quarantine hotel diagnosed with COVID-19 on Wednesday is the first person infected with the variant found in the Australian community. Other cases have been detected among travelers while in hotel quarantine, where there is little risk of community spread.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday that state leaders have agreed that international arrivals to New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia state airports will be halved until Feb. 15. Arrivals at Victoria were already relatively low and will remain unchanged.
Quarantine workers would be tested for the virus daily.
___
MEXICO CITY — Mexico continues to see record increases in coronavirus cases, with a 24-hour caseload of 13,734 confirmed infections setting a new high for the second consecutive day.
Officials also reported a near-record of 1,044 more deaths. The country has recorded about 1.49 million infections and over 131,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.
Experts say Mexico’s extremely low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.
The country’s vaccination effort is moving slowly, with 4,444 shots administered Thursday — a rate similar to previous days.
In Mexico City, the current center of the pandemic in Mexico, 89% percent of hospital beds are full.
___
LONDON — The British government says that beginning next week all people arriving from other countries will have to provide proof of a negative coronavius test taken within the 72 hours before departure.
There are exemptions for some, including truckers, airline crew and children under 11.
Many public health experts have long urged the U.K. to adopt the measure as a way of reducing imported infections, though the virus is more widespread in Britain than in many other countries.
The government said Friday that the new measure will help protect against new variants of the virus, such as one recently identified in South Africa.
___
CARSON CITY, Nev. — Nevada officials are reporting the most new coronavirus cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic.
State officials reported 3,402 new confirmed virus infections Thursday, bringing the statewide total to 240,795 cases.
Nevada pandemic response director Caleb Cage predicted the spike earlier in the week and said it mirrored other post-holiday rises the state has experienced.
Nevada has consistently rewritten its record books for coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations throughout the months-long surge that has spared no county, rural or urban. Gov. Steve Sisolak’s tightened restrictions on business capacity and private gatherings are set to expire on Jan. 15, unless he extends them.
___
BRISBANE, Australia — Authorities in Brisbane, Australia, are locking the city down for three days beginning Friday, after a cleaner at a quarantine hotel was diagnosed with a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus first identified in Britain.
The Queensland state government says masks will also be compulsory for the first time in Brisbane and the surrounding municipalities of Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redlands.
The state’s chief health officer said “we need to act really, really fast.”
While several cases of the variant have been found in travelers in hotel quarantine, the cleaner is the first person to be infected with it in Australia. Authorities believe the woman was infectious after Jan. 2. She tested positive after showing symptoms Wednesday.
___
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas expects to finish giving coronavirus vaccinations to long-term care residents and health care workers by the end of this month and has moved people aged 65 and older into the next group to receive the shots.
Gov. Laura Kelly on Thursday announced new details about the order in which the state’s residents will be eligible for inoculations.
Making people ages 65 to 74 an earlier priority was the biggest shift. The state’s previous plan had that age group getting theirs after people in “congregate” living, such as state hospitals, shelters for the homeless, and prisons.
___
SAO PAULO — Brazil has passed 200,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic. That is the second highest total in the world.
The health ministry said Thursday that the country had 1,524 deaths in the previous 24 hours, rising to a total of 200,498 for the pandemic.
The milestone was reached as Brazilians are once again crowding their beaches.
Many Brazilians have been straining against quarantine for months, going to bars or small gatherings with friends, but massive blowouts had been few and far between since the pandemic began. Then big festivities kicked off after the Southern Hemisphere’s summer started Dec. 21.

DETROIT (AP) — President Donald Trump has commuted the prison sentence of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who has served about seven years of a 28-year sentence for corruption. The announcement Wednesday morning was part of a flurry of clemency action in the final hours of Trump’s White House term. A White House statement noted that prominent members of the Detroit community had supported the former Democratic mayor’s commutation and it said that while in prison Kilpatrick “taught public speaking classes and has led Bible Study groups with his fellow inmates.” Kilpatrick was convicted in 2013 of racketeering conspiracy, fraud, extortion and tax crimes. The government called it the “Kilpatrick enterprise,” a yearslong scheme to shake down contractors and reward allies.

More than 100 players will suit up for Sunday’s NFC championship game. So try to ignore all those talking heads making mention of only two: Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Yes it’s as juicy a matchup of quarterbacks as the current NFL can offer. The Battle of the Bays might well be decided by what Mr. Six Rings does against the Packers’ defense or what the 2020 All-Pro QB Rodgers manages versus the Buccaneers’ D. The Bucs routed the Packers 38-10 in October.

ROME (AP) — The Vatican has cleared a retired U.S. bishop of multiple allegations he sexually abused minors and teenagers, rejecting lay experts’ determination that a half-dozen claims were credible. The Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith cleared retired Cheyenne, Wyoming Bishop Joseph Hart of seven accusations abuse, determined that five others couldn’t be proven “with moral certitude.” Two other cases involving boys, who were 16 and 17, couldn’t be prosecuted given the Catholic Church didn’t consider them minors at the time of the alleged abuse. Another allegation wasn’t addressed in the decree.Hart, 89, had long maintained his innocence and denied all allegations of misconduct.

Trump's Republican wall eroding ahead of impeachment vote

The wall of Republican support that has enabled President Donald Trump to weather a seemingly endless series of crises is beginning to erode. Trump’s weakened standing among his own party will come into sharper focus on Wednesday when the House is expected to impeach the president for inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol last week. A handful of Republicans have already said they’ll join the effort, a number that could grow as the vote nears. The choice facing Republicans isn’t just about the immediate fate of Trump but whether the party’s elected leaders are ready to move on.

Boats emerge from Sahara sand to transport migrants to Spain

DAKHLA, Western Sahara (AP) — Migrant smugglers recently tried to retrieve a boat buried in the Sahara sand. It was a made-to-order vessel built to carry migrants from the North African coast to Spain’s Canary Islands. That’s a journey that the European Union calls “the most dangerous migratory route in the world.” The Associated Press witnessed the recent boat handover, a crucial but little-seen piece of the migrant smuggling business. The business thrived last year, as the pandemic plunged many Africans into poverty, leading migration to the Canary Islands jumped to its highest-ever rate. Encouraged by aid from Spain and the EU, Moroccan authorities are increasingly cracking down — but migration into the dangerous Atlantic Ocean continues.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Although pro-democracy and human rights activists around the globe were stunned to see a raging mob storm the U.S. Capitol, they say they were heartened and inspired because the system ultimately prevailed. Zimbabwean investigative journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who has been jailed for reporting on corruption, says “there is still no place like America.” An exiled Belarus opposition leader says the turmoil in Washington was “a good reminder” that democracy should not be taken for granted. But the clampdown on dissidents still went on. Hong Kong police tightened their grip on the city’s embattled democracy movement, making 53 arrests Wednesday, hours before the events in Washington.

Democrat Warnock wins Senate race; 2nd too early to call

ATLANTA (AP) — Democrat Raphael Warnock has won one of Georgia’s two Senate runoffs, becoming the first Black senator in his state’s history and putting the Senate majority within the Democrats’ reach. Warnock, a pastor who spent the past 15 years leading the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached, defeated Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler. It’s a stinging rebuke of outgoing President Donald Trump, who traveled to Georgia to rally for Loeffler and the Republican running for the other seat, David Perdue. The focus now shifts to the second race between Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff. That contest was too early to call as votes were still being counted.

New trophy on the line for Eau Claire wrestlers
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
During last season's exit interviews, an interesting proposal was brought to the Eau Claire North wrestling coaching staff.
"One of our wrestlers mentioned the idea of a traveling trophy," said Huskies head coach Jake Rebhan. "Brought up the Badger/Gopher battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe and how that could add to our intense rivalry that we have with Memorial."
The idea took off, so starting this season the Big Rivers Wrestling Rivalry Trophy will be awarded to the winner of the city clash.
"We don't usually get a trophy for dueling people, so it's a new feeling. It's exciting," said Huskies senior Xavion Biesterveld. "Competition between North and Memorial is already competitive, and I think this will make it that much more."
"Two big schools in the same town, it's going to be a rivalry that goes through everything. It goes through every sport," said Huskies senior Cody Danen. "Now we have an actual trophy to be able to raise that rivalry one step further."
The chance to hoist up that trophy first, is giving the wrestlers some extea pep.
"We've noticed it here at North, that they've definitely picked it up a little bit this week," said Rebhan. "There is something physically on the line."
"We're going to be on edge a little bit," said Danen. "A little more nervous. But you've got to push through that, work your hardest and hopefully win it."

Inauguration rehearsal evacuated after fire in homeless camp

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Capitol complex temporarily locked down during a rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after a fire in a homeless encampment roughly a mile away sent a plume of smoke into the air and caused security concerns. But law enforcement officials say there was no threat to the public and that Monday’s fire was not believed to be a threat to the inauguration. Local firefighters put out the blaze quickly. Meanwhile, the Secret Service has issued a bulletin about what it sees as an “uptick” in National Guard troops in Washington posting pictures and details of their operations online. It is urging them to stop immediately.

EU, AstraZeneca publish redacted contract in vaccine dispute

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union and AstraZeneca agreed Friday to make public a heavily redacted agreement at the heart of their dispute over deliveries of the pharmaceutical company’s coronavirus vaccine. The “advanced purchasing agreement” was signed between them last August before the vaccine had been properly tested. Much of the 41-page document is blacked out, making it very difficult to establish which side is in the right. The price for the vaccine is not visible. Asked about details at the heart of the row – exactly how many doses were promised to be delivered to the EU and when – EU Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said: “We cannot give you the numbers, they have been redacted from the contract.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission is defending its decision to send a team of senior officials to Lisbon for talks with Portuguese government ministers. Two ministers tested positive for the coronavirus and a number of ministers and top officials went into isolation after the one-day trip. The visit was meant to help Portugal prepare for its six-month term holding the EU’s rotating presidency. It happened on the very day that Portugal went into a month-long lockdown to try to halt the spread of the virus. The commission said Monday the decision to travel was not taken lightly and that it was important to discuss a number of political files face to face.

Sticking to your New Year’s resolutions starts with flexibility
| null | null |

MADISON (WKOW) -- A new year come new goals and resolutions, but with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic in mind, Madison College counselor John Boyne says keeping those New Year's resolutions manageable is more important than ever.
"Hope is on the horizon," he said. "I think that hopefully will help people look ahead and maybe build some nice resolutions that will make a lot of things better."
Boyne said it's important for people to be flexible about the plans or resolutions they make and be prepared to change them if they're not going the way they think.
He also recommends syncing the resolution with something you enjoy. For instance, if you want to start lifting weights more, lifting them during a Green Bay Packers game might make things more tolerable or feasible.
Finally, celebrate the small progress. Boyne says maybe that's just you giving yourself a break and keeping a positive attitude amid the pandemic.
"Start small, and be encouraging and gentle with yourself," he said. "Celebrate the small wins."
If you want to make a resolution or set a new goal for yourself this year, Boyne suggests you go online to find some ideas that worked for others that may work for them. He also suggested the books "Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything" and "Atomic Habits."

HELSINKI (AP) — Rescue teams searching for survivors four days after a landslide carried away homes in a Norwegian village have found no signs of life amid the ruined buildings and debris. Three bodies have been recovered but searchers on Saturday were looking for seven more missing people. Ground search teams with dogs are being aided by helicopters and drones with heat-detecting cameras on the ravaged hillside in the village of Ask, 25 kilometers (16 miles) northeast of Oslo. At least 1,000 people have been evacuated and more may have to leave. The landslide is the worst in modern Norwegian history. King Harald V and other members of the royal family will visit the site on Sunday.

WASHINGTON (WKOW) — President-elect Joe Biden says it's a good thing that Donald Trump will not attend the inauguration.
"One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on. It's a good thing — him not showing up." Biden said Friday when answering questions from reporters.
Trump earlier in the day Friday said he won’t attend President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration on Jan. 20.
He will be the first incumbent president since Andrew Johnson to skip his successor's inauguration.
In a Friday tweet Trump said, “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”
To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2021
Trump offered no clues for how he would spent his final hours in office.

Madison-based pet rescue center warns of adoption scams happening in Eau Claire
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- A Madison-based pet rescue center is warning the public of potential adoption scams happening in our area.
Officials at Underdog Pet Rescue say a scammer behind a Facebook profile under the name 'Alora Allen' is posing as a company employee in Eau Claire, and is posting pictures of dogs who they claim are up for adoption in online pet rehoming groups.
The scammer has requested deposits to hold the dog before adoption and asks buyers to drive to Madison to pick them up. However, those who place the 'deposits' find that the seller was unavailable.
Officials say they've heard of at least 10 instances of this scam happening to Eau Claire residents.
"It just makes me really sad that this happened to people who were trying to do a good thing and take a dog from a rescue," said Lauren Wojtasiak, founder of Underdog Pet Rescue. "I think that in these rehoming groups, or on Craiglist or places where animals are sold, it's very easy to not get good information on the pet that you're looking at adopting."
Wojtasiak says the center never takes deposits before an application or meeting is completed, and none of the pets posted on the scammer's profile are in their care. Employees are also unsure if the profile is the person's real identity.
Eau Claire police officials say they are not aware of scams specific to Underdog Pet Rescue, but other puppy and dog scams have occurred in recent months, and urge the public to do research before sending money or financial information for adoptions.

"EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- A Madison-based pet rescue center is warning the public of potential adoption scams happening in our area.\nOfficials at Underdog Pet Rescue say a scammer behind a Facebook profile under the name 'Alora Allen' is posing as a company employee in Eau Claire, and is posting pictures of dogs who they claim are up for adoption in online pet rehoming groups.\nThe scammer has requested deposits to hold the dog before adoption and asks buyers to drive to Madison to pick them up. However, those who place the 'deposits' find that the seller was unavailable.\nOfficials say they've heard of at least 10 instances of this scam happening to Eau Claire residents.\n\"It just makes me really sad that this happened to people who were trying to do a good thing and take a dog from a rescue,\" said Lauren Wojtasiak, founder of Underdog Pet Rescue. \"I think that in these rehoming groups, or on Craiglist or places where animals are sold, it's very easy to not get good information on the pet that you're looking at adopting.\"\nWojtasiak says the center never takes deposits before an application or meeting is completed, and none of the pets posted on the scammer's profile are in their care.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has held marathon press conferences every weekday since taking office on Dec. 1, 2018. That’s over 500 opened-ended news conferences, sometimes lasting as long as three hours. They are a platform for the president to relay information that he says the media ignore or misrepresent. Others say they are propaganda venues used by López Obrador to attack his critics. They are undeniably a break with the past in a country where some presidents could go years without taking an unvetted question from a reporter.

Exhausted hospital chaplains bring solace to lonely, dying

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just like doctors, nurses and other medical-care providers, hospital chaplains have become part of the line of first responders when it comes to treating people with COVID-19. As families are barred from visiting loved ones to curb the disease’s spread, chaplains often are there to act as surrogates, holding the hands of the dying, praying with them and carrying iPads into hospital rooms to provide a real-time connection with grieving families. It’s emotionally trying, even dangerous work, say chaplains at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Los Angeles. But it’s also something they feel called on to do.

You Ask, We Answer: What does the wheel tax pay for?
| null | null |
wqow.com

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY (WQOW) - For Friday's You Ask, We Answer, several viewers are wondering how much money is generated from Eau Claire County's wheel tax that's been in place since 2019 and what it's used for.
Eau Claire County residents have been paying a $30 vehicle registration fee, also known as a wheel tax, for two years now. But what does it pay for?
County officials say it helps with road repair projects like the bridge on Spooner Avenue over Otter Creek in Altoona.
Eau Claire County Highway Commissioner Jon Johnson said in 2019, the county received $2.45 million from the wheel tax. For 2020, they project the tax will generate $2.48 million.
Johnson said without the vehicle registration fee, the highway department would only be able to replace one bridge a year with state and federal aid.
In 2020, they replaced or improved five bridges and one highway.
"The bridges are on County Highway O, County Highway V, County Highway D, and then County Highway A, and the other bridge we're working on is County Highway K in Fall Creek," Johnson said.
Eau Claire County Board Chairperson Nick Smiar said the wheel tax is not necessarily a tax on wheels, but on the vehicle registration itself.
"It's a flat fee across the board. It does not depend on the number of wheels on your vehicle," Smiar said.
Smiar added prior to about 10 years ago, our property tax levy money paid for our roads, but with the increasing number of roads and residents in the county, the need for more maintenance and repairs grew.
"We reached a point where we had to begin to borrow every year, about $6 million a year so the registration fee offsets that," Smiar said. "You're paying it now rather than paying it through borrowing and then paying the interest on it."
Others have asked News 18 if the wheel tax is going to expire. Smiar said at this point, the ordinance is here to stay.
"If it sunsets while you still have that condition happening, then it's difficult to re-do it. It's easier to set it in place and when the condition changes, then you can change the ordinance," Smiar said.
Wisconsin law allows villages, towns, cities or counties to collect an annual wheel tax on top of the regular annual registration fee paid for a vehicle.
Chippewa County's $10 wheel tax was implemented in 2015 and expired at the end of 2019.
Chippewa County Highway Commissioner Brian Kelley said that wheel tax generated about $540,000 a year, which was used to replenish the highway department's winter maintenance fund.
Kelley said at the end of 2014, the winter maintenance fund had a negative balance of -$1,249,579. At the end of 2019, that fund had a positive balance of $391,761 thanks to the wheel tax.
He said the county has since invested additional funds into their winter maintenance budget to sustain the fund balance now that the wheel tax has "sunset" or expired. He added the $10 wheel tax was based on the amount of funding that the county needed to reach.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, there are 13 counties that currently have a wheel tax, with $10 being the lowest and $30 being the highest. By state law, revenue generated from the wheel tax must only be used for transportation related purposes.
To see what projects were funded in Eau Claire County by the vehicle registration fee/wheel tax, you can look at this interactive map on the county's website. Clicking on the individual dots on the map can also tell you when the project happened and how much it cost.

Judge says Amazon won't have to restore Parler web service

Amazon won’t be forced to restore web service to Parler after a federal judge ruled Thursday against a plea to reinstate the fast-growing social media app favored by followers of former President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said she wasn’t dismissing Parler’s “substantive underlying claims” against Amazon but said it fell short in demonstrating the need for an injunction forcing it back online. Amazon kicked Parler off its web-hosting service last week, and in court filings said the suspension was a “last resort” to block it from harboring violent plans to disrupt the presidential transition.

Powerball jackpot hits $640M as Mega Millions grows to $750M

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Wednesday night’s Powerball jackpot was worth at least $550 million and grew to an estimated $640 million without a winner. Numbers for Wednesday night’s Powerball were: 4-19-23-25-49 and a Powerball of 14, with the next drawing Saturday. The Powerball prize drawing was only a day after no one won a $625 million Mega Millions jackpot, causing that prize to grow to $750 million ahead the next drawing on Friday night. It’s been months since anyone has matched all six numbers and won either jackpot. The odds of winning jackpots are 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball and one in 302.5 million for Mega Millions. Both games are played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball also is offered in Puerto Rico.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Germany’s foreign minister is scheduled to meet his Turkish counterpart in the Turkish capital, following a tumultuous year in Turkish-European relations. Ahead of his arrival in Ankara, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas noted the difficulties of 2020 and warned that “this playing with fire must not be repeated.” The visit comes amid an easing in tensions between nominal NATO allies Turkey and Greece. The two neighbors came close to the brink of war over the summer due to a dispute on maritime boundaries and energy rights in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Sculpture Tour artist surprised with win
| null | null |

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Dan Ingersoll was working on his sculpture, Ingrain, for a year before it was placed in Phoenix Park this past spring.
"I was interested in doing a site-specific piece for Eau Claire where the concept behind it was an Eau Claire concept," he said.
He said the sculpture's logs represent Eau Claire's logging history; the "V" shape represents the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa Rivers, and the opening represents looking to the future.
"With the opening and with the view to the future I would hope we reflect on past practice in terms of how we treat the environment and look ahead to sustainable practices," he said.
The executive director of the sculpture tour, Julie Pangallo, told Ingersoll WQOW would be interviewing the top three artists with the most votes. But during a faux joint interview, she revealed the true meaning of Saturday's meetup.
"Dan, we kind of misled you today," Pangallo said. "We actually brought you down here to let you know you won People's Choice!"
"Oh geez, oh my goodness, wow, that's amazing," Ingersoll exclaimed.
Ingersoll has spent his life instructing art to students, most recently teaching ceramics at UW-Eau Claire. He said he built this sculpture for this specific spot and is glad people voted for it to stay where it is meant to be.
"I'm grateful for the support that this could stay here and become part of the community," Ingersoll said.
"My favorite part is knowing that's a real validation for [the artists]," Pangallo said. "As Dan said, he doesn't really feel comfortable calling himself an artist. Obviously, he's an artist and his piece won this tour by a significant margin."
Pangallo said last year, the winning sculpture won by seven votes, and this year, Ingrain won by over three hundred votes.

BEIJING (AP) — Rescuers in China have lifted to the surface one of 22 workers trapped for two weeks after an explosion in a northern gold mine. State media on Sunday reported the worker was in weak condition but no other details were given. Rescuers are in contact with 10 of the workers who were in the mine when an explosion ripped through on January 10 while it was still under construction. One other worker is reported to have died while the fate of 11 others is unknown. The shaft is reportedly blocked 1,000 feet below the surface by 70 tons of debris. Rescuers have drilled additional shafts for communication, ventilation and, possibly, evacuation of survivors. Authorities have detained mine managers for delaying reporting the accident.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares are mixed as Japanese shares echoed pullbacks on Wall Street while other regional indexes recouped earlier losses amid continuing worries about surging coronavirus cases. Japan’s benchmark fell Tuesday as the government was preparing to declare a state of emergency. Shares rose in South Korea and China. Coronavirus cases keep climbing at frightening rates around the world, threatening to bring more lockdown orders that would punish the economy. U.S. stocks pulled back as big swings return to Wall Street where the dominant expectation is for a powerful economic rebound to sweep the world.

Japan’s benchmark fell Tuesday as the government was preparing to declare a state of emergency. Shares rose in South Korea and China. Coronavirus cases keep climbing at frightening rates around the world, threatening to bring more lockdown orders that would punish the economy. U.S. stocks pulled back as big swings return to Wall Street where the dominant expectation is for a powerful economic rebound to sweep the world.",

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The spokesman for Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says he has tested positive for cornavirus, the same day the country detected its first case of a COVID-19 variant that is spreading in the United Kingdom. Spokesman Jesús Ramírez Cuevas wrote on his Twitter account Sunday that “I am in good health and I will be working from home.” Ramírez Cuevas is close to López Obrador and often goes on trips with the president. There was no word on whether the president had yet been tested. López Obrador is 67 and has high blood pressure, but almost never wears a mask.

Major construction done at Hanford waste treatment plant

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A gigantic nuclear waste treatment plant in eastern Washington state that has been under construction for 18 years is largely completed and soon will be ready to start processing radioactive wastes left over from the construction of the nation’s nuclear arsenal. The U.S. Department of Energy said Wednesday that the so-called vitrification plant is a key component in cleaning up the legacy of wastes left at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation from decades of making plutonium for nuclear weapons. The $17 billion plant is designed to treat the bulk of the 56 million gallons of the most toxic radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks. Hanford produced about two-thirds of the nation’s plutonium from World War II through the Cold War.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — Officials say Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has returned to Germany, where he spent two months for treatment of a COVID-19 infection, this time to treat a related foot problem. A statement from the presidency Sunday said the complication from the coronavirus infection was initially to be treated during his stay, cut short by pressing presidential issues at home. Tebboune, 75, disappeared from the radar of his North African nation after leaving for treatment Oct. 28. The name of the clinic caring for him was never announced and he spoke to the nation only shortly before his return Dec. 29.

VIRUS TODAY: Few Native Americans sign up for virus trials
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Few Native American tribes have signed up to take part in clinical trials as coronavirus vaccines are developed. The reasons range from suspicion and distrust tied to unethical practices of the past to the quick nature of the studies, which typically may need several layers of approval from tribes. Researchers say that without participation from Native Americans, tribes won’t know which vaccine might best be suited for their citizens. About a handful of tribes have agreed to allow researchers to enroll their citizens in vaccine trials, including in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. They point to a need to slow the virus among a population that’s been disproportionately affected.

DETROIT (AP) — Kirk Cousins threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, lifting the Minnesota Vikings to a 37-35 win over the Detroit Lions a matchup of teams finishing disappointing seasons. The Vikings failed for the fourth time in a decade to make two straight trips to the playoffs. The Lions lost their last four games eight of 10 after going into November with 3-3 record under former coach Matt Patricia. Detroit’s defense broke franchise records by allowing 519 points and 6,716 yards, breaking marks set by its winless team in 2008 and ranking among the worst in NFL history.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Authorities in Bangladesh have sent a third group of Rohingya refugees to a newly developed island in the Bay of Bengal despite calls by human rights groups for a halt to the process. The government insists the relocation plan is meant to offer better living conditions while attempts to repatriate more than 1 million refugees to Myanmar would continue. On Friday morning, 1,778 refugees started their journey to the island of Bhasan Char in four navy vessels from the southeastern port city of Chattogram, after they were brought from crammed camps in Cox’s Bazar district.International aid agencies have opposed the relocation since it was first proposed in 2015.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned former chief strategist Steve Bannon as part of a late flurry of clemency action benefiting nearly 150 people, including rap stars and former members of Congress. The pardons and commutations for 143 people, including Bannon, were announced after midnight Wednesday in the final hours of Trump’s White House term. The last-minute clemency, announced earlier Wednesday morning, follows separate waves of pardons over the last month for Trump associates convicted in the FBI’s Russia investigation as well as for the father of his son-in-law.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has defended his country’s ability to host this year’s hockey world championships by ridiculing the United States following the violent attack at the Capitol. The authoritarian leader met with International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel for talks amid calls to move the world championships following mass protests against Lukashenko’s rule. He told Fasel that the protests would not make it unsafe for Belarus to host the tournament. Lukashenko says “protesters (in Belarus) and other dissatisfied people don’t storm government agencies and capitols.” Belarus is scheduled to co-host the world championships with Latvia in May and June.

Senate resumes debating Biden win

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has resumed debating the Republican challenge against Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election victory, more than six hours after pro-Trump mobs attacked the Capitol and forced lawmakers to flee.
Scores of Republican representatives and 13 GOP senators had planned to object Wednesday to the electoral votes of perhaps six states that backed Biden. It was unclear whether those objections would continue in light of the day’s violent events.
President Donald Trump has falsely insisted that the election was marred by fraud and that he actually won. He reiterated those claims in remarks to thousands of protesters outside the White House early Wednesday and goaded them to march to the Capitol, which many of them did.
The mayhem had forced the House and Senate to abruptly end the day’s debates and flee to safety under the protection of police. And it prompted bipartisan outrage as many lawmakers blamed Trump for fostering the violence.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Mozambique’s jihadist violence has forced the French energy firm Total to suspend work at its multibillion-dollar liquefied natural gas project in the country’s northern Cabo Delgado province. After the rebels’ Jan. 1 attack on Quitunda village, just outside the fence of the gas project, the company removed most of its workforce, estimated at 3,000, from the Afungi peninsula. The insurgents, allied with the Islamic State group, have carried out a string of attacks since Christmas Eve, driving closer to the Total construction site, which covers 27 square miles. Total paid $3.9 billion in 2019 for a 26% share of the project, which was to begin production in 2024.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The search for the black boxes of a crashed Sriwijaya Air jet has intensified to boost the investigation into what caused the plane carrying 62 people to nosedive into the Java Sea. The Boeing 737-500 jet disappeared minutes after taking off from Jakarta during heavy rain on Saturday. The search so far has yielded plane parts and human remains but no sign of survivors. Authorities have said signals from the cockpit voice and flight data recorders were detected in an island chain just north of Jakarta’s coast.

"JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The search for the black boxes of a crashed Sriwijaya Air jet has intensified to boost the investigation into what caused the plane carrying 62 people to nosedive into the Java Sea. The Boeing 737-500 jet disappeared minutes after taking off from Jakarta during heavy rain on Saturday. The search so far has yielded plane parts and human remains but no sign of survivors. Authorities have said signals from the cockpit voice and flight data recorders were detected in an island chain just north of Jakarta’s coast. Officials said they have marked a location where the sounds were heard and divers were concentrating on a target in the seabed mud.",

MADISON (WQOW) - The Wisconsin Senate has voted to repeal the statewide mask mandate.
The Senate approved a joint resolution repealing the emergency declaration that allowed the governor to issue the mask mandate by a 18-13 vote.
The repeal is not a done deal, however. It still needs to pass the Assembly.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Prosecutor: Wisconsin pharmacist thought vaccine was unsafe

PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. (AP) — A prosecutor says a Wisconsin pharmacist told police he tried to ruin hundreds of doses of coronavirus vaccine because he felt the medicine wasn’t safe. Police in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, arrested the Advocate Aurora Health pharmacist last week following an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine. Officials say the vials contained enough doses to inoculate more than 500 people. Ozaukee County District Attorney Adam Gerol said during a virtual hearing Monday that the pharmacist had formed a belief that the vaccine was unsafe.

NEW YORK (AP) — At 93, screen legend Sidney Poitier has achieved a new career milestone: Arizona State University has unveiled The Sidney Poitier New American Film School. University president Michael M. Crow says the decision to name the school after Poitier, the first Black winner of a lead acting Oscar, is about much more than an emphasis on diversity. He says it’s about the filmmaker’s creative energy and drive and the way he advanced his life. The university says it has invested millions of dollars in technology to create what’s intended to be one of the largest, most accessible and most diverse film schools.

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congolese authorities have released a man once sentenced to death for his role in the assassination of President Laurent Kabila nearly two decades ago. Eddy Kapend left the central prison of Makala on Friday. The development comes just days after a presidential pardon was granted to all Congolese prisoners who had been sentenced to 20 years. Eleven of Kapend’s co-defendants died in prison before the pardon was granted by President Felix Tshisekedi. Laurent Kabila’s son Joseph served as president for 18 years after his assassination.

NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of business owners are about to get additional help weathering the coronavirus outbreak. The Small Business Administration and the Treasury Department are reviving the Paycheck Protection Program five months after its first two rounds of funding ended. Businesses that received loans last year will be able to borrow up to $2 million as long as they have no more than 300 employees and suffered at least a 25% drop in quarterly revenue. First-time borrowers with no more than 500 workers will be able to borrow up to $10 million. The loans, which can be forgiven, will have five-year terms and carry an interest rate of 1%.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Theodore Lumpkin Jr., one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, has died from complications of the coronavirus just days before his 101st birthday. Los Angeles City College, which he attended before the war, announced Friday that Lumpkin died on Dec. 26. A Los Angeles native, he was drafted into the Black fighter pilot unit in 1942. The Los Angeles Times says Lumpkin was an intelligence officer because his eyesight wasn’t good enough to be a pilot. He later was a social worker and a real estate agent. In 2007, the Tuskegee Airmen were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As many as 15,000 National Guard members are preparing to leave Washington, D.C. and head home now that the inauguration of President Joe Biden is over. Enforcement agencies say the inaugural went off with only a handful of minor arrests and incidents. The National Guard Bureau says that of the nearly 26,000 Guard troops deployed to D.C. for the inaugural, just 10,600 remain on duty. The bureau said the Guard is helping states with coordination and the logistics so that troops can get home.

Eau Claire City Council votes to approve several alley improvement projects
| null | null |
wqow.com

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- Weeks ago we told you about upcoming street projects happening in Eau Claire this year, and tonight, City Council reviewed construction plans for several alley projects.
City Council voted to approve improvements to ten alleys throughout the city, including three on Broadway St., three on Ninth St. and two near Platt St. Construction includes upgrades to sewer drainage systems and pavement conditions.
The city began an alley improvement program in 2015 when 43% of alleyways were in poor condition, and since then only 2% of them currently have a failing grade, which officials say has benefitted residents greatly.
"Really the alleys are a benefit to the neighborhood and the neighbors that use it," said Leah Ness, deputy city engineer for the City of Eau Claire. "A lot of people have access off the alleyways, and it's their way of getting in and out of their residence, so by improving the alleys we're really just improving access to people's homes."
The projects cost roughly $382,000 combined, but it's not all covered by the city. Residents near the alleys will be assessed for the projects, and can pay up front , or on their annual city tax bill over a ten-year timeframe. Ness says projects will likely begin construction this summer.
Below is a list of alley improvement projects that were approved:
• Alley South of Broadway Street, Fifth Avenue to Fourth Avenue
• Alley South of Broadway Street, Seventh Avenue to Sixth Avenue
• Alley South of Broadway Street, Eighth Avenue to Seventh Avenue
• Alley South of Altoona Avenue, Enterprise Street to East End
• Alley East of Ninth Street, Platt Street to Vine Street
• Alley East of Ninth Street, Maple Street to Walnut Street
• Alley East of Ninth Street, Cedar Street to North End • Alley East of Eighth Street, Platt Street to Vine Street • Alley East of Bellinger Street, Fifth Avenue to Randall Street
• Alley East of Doty Street, Emery Street to Seaver Street

A winter storm has brought snow to parts of the U.S. South, coating surfaces from Texas to Alabama Monday morning. The National Weather Service in Houston says as many as 6 inches of snow fell across southern parts Texas on Sunday. Anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of snow is forecast into Monday for parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. A light dusting is expected for areas of northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. More than two dozen government offices in Louisiana will be closed Monday. Some school districts in Mississippi said they would be closed, delayed or scheduled for virtual learning only.

TOKYO (AP) — One person has been killed and at least 17 injured in a massive pileup of at least 134 vehicles in blizzard conditions on a highway in northern Japan. Officials say about 200 people were stranded in the pileup, which forced the closure of the Tohoku Expressway. The chief government spokesman says a truck rammed into a passenger car, triggering the pileup over a one kilometer (0.6 mile) stretch of the highway. Parts of northern Japan have been struck by heavy snow in recent weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the House has impeached President Donald Trump for the second time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi must figure out the best strategy for arguing the case before the Senate. Senate rules say the trial must start soon after the chamber receives the article of impeachment, which cites “incitement of insurrection” after an angry mob of Trump’s supporters invaded the Capitol last week. But Pelosi has not said when the House will deliver it. If the House sends it to the Senate early next week, or before then, a trial could begin at 1 p.m. on Inauguration Day. The ceremony at the Capitol starts at noon.

Ukraine: Few masks for Christmas, despite virus pressure

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Although Ukraine is struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic that has inundated its overburdened medical system with patients, Orthodox Christmas celebrations have occurred widely without masks or social distancing. In the mountain village of Iltsy, unmasked worshipers on Thursday crowded a small church, where they kissed icons and later stood close together outside to watch a procession of musicians. The main streets of the city of Lviv were full of celebrants, many having hot drinks outdoors and watching the passing promenade. The country of 42 million, is recording about 9,000 new infection cases a day; more than 19,500 people have died during the pandemic. Ukraine will impose a wide-ranging lockdown beginning Friday.

"LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Although Ukraine is struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic that has inundated its overburdened medical system with patients, Orthodox Christmas celebrations have occurred widely without masks or social distancing. In the mountain village of Iltsy, unmasked worshipers on Thursday crowded a small church, where they kissed icons and later stood close together outside to watch a procession of musicians. The main streets of the city of Lviv were full of celebrants, many having hot drinks outdoors and watching the passing promenade. The country of 42 million, is recording about 9,000 new infection cases a day; more than 19,500 people have died during the pandemic. Ukraine will impose a wide-ranging lockdown beginning Friday.",
