Florida legislator: Punish Mar-a-Lago for mask-free party

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida legislator wants President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club punished for hosting a New Year’s Eve party where few of the 500 guests wore masks in possible violation of local coronavirus ordinances. Democratic state Rep. Omari Hardy said Monday that Palm Beach County must take action against Mar-a-Lago out of fairness both to local businesses that have obeyed the ordinance and those punished for violating it. Video shows partygoers singing and dancing along with rapper Vanilla Ice. The president wasn’t there, but his sons Donald Jr. and Eric were. Palm Beach County says it will investigate. The Trump Organization and Mar-a-Lago did not return calls for comment.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A rival to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the March elections is getting some American campaign help. Israel’s Channel 12 reported Sunday that Gideon Saar, once Netanyahu’s protege, has hired the founders of the Lincoln Project, which ran a relentless campaign to help defeat President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 US elections. The Lincoln Project’s stated mission is to hold public officials leaders “accountable” and attacked Trump’s ethics and record. Netanyahu is facing charges of fraud and bribery, which he denies as he runs for re-election. Saar broke away from Likud to form his own faction and has emerged as the premier’s top rival. A campaign official confirmed the TV report.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Ten people including the lone known surviving suspect in the 2015 deadly Paris attacks have been ordered to stand trial in connection with the suicide bombings which killed 32 people and injured hundreds in the Brussels subway and airport nearly five years ago. The Brussels Chamber of the Council also decided on Tuesday that charges against three others suspects should be dismissed. Among the 10 to stand trial is Salah Abdeslam, who is also suspected of playing a major role in the Paris attacks, and Mohamed Abrini, the Brussels native who walked away from Brussels’ Zaventem airport after his explosives failed to detonate.

Ossoff wins Ga. Senate seat, gives Dems control

wqow.com

(AP) – Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff has won his Senate runoff election. His victory gives Democrats control of the Senate for the opening of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency.
Democrats needed to win both of Georgia’s Senate runoff elections on Tuesday to claim the Senate majority.
The 33-year-old Ossoff defeated 71-year-old Republican David Perdue, who held the seat for the past six years and had the strong support of President Donald Trump.
In the other Senate race, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, defeated Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
With the two Democratic victories, the Senate will have a 50-50 seat split between the parties. But the vice president casts tie-breaking votes, and that will be Democrat Kamala Harris.

Apple to crack down on tracking iPhone users in early spring

SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — Apple says it will roll out a new privacy control in the spring to prevent iPhone apps from secretly shadowing people. The delay in its anticipated rollout aims to placate Facebook and other digital services that depend on such data surveillance to help sell ads. Although Apple didn’t provide a specific date, the timetable disclosed Thursday means a feature known as App Tracking Transparency is likely to arrive in March or April. Apple has been holding off to give Facebook and other app makers more time to adjust to a feature that will require iPhone users to give explicit consent before apps can track them.

CHIPPEWA FALLS (WQOW) - A 49-year-tradition to honor residents at a Chippewa falls nursing home is continuing on this year virtually.
Staff at Chippewa Manor put together a video birthday celebration for residents age 90 and above at the facility.
Typically, the Chippewa Manor hosts a birthday party for who they call the "90+ Club" but COVID-19 restrictions are preventing it this year.
On top of the video, staff are handing out special gifts to residents individually. One resident says despite COVID-19's hardships she's accepted the changes and hopes everyone else grows from their pandemic experience.
"I'm just hoping that people realize that time passes and it's going to change, it's going to change. We're not going to be in this forever and that's alright. You know every experience we have makes us grow and I think that's important," said Alice Karr who will be 91 this spring.
As part of the video, the staff looks back on historical events that have happened during the resident's lifetime and compares them to the world today.
Karr said the biggest change in today's world is in the ways we travel and that everyone can move about the world freely.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s confirmed coronavirus infections since the pandemic began have crossed a million and hospitals in some hard-hit areas are near capacity. Indonesia’s Health Ministry said that new daily infections rose by 13,094 on Tuesday. The total number of deaths was now at 28,468. The ministry’s data showed hospitals in world’s fourth most populous country are approaching 70% capacity nationwide, but there are some areas where that number is higher. The 1 million case milestone comes just weeks after Indonesian launched a massive campaign to inoculate two-thirds of the country’s 270 million people, with President Joko Widodo receiving the first shot of a Chinese-made vaccine.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered authorities to rebuild a century-old Hindu temple that was vandalized and set on fire by a mob last week, drawing condemnation from the government and leaders of minority Hindus. The court ruled after authorities said they arrested more than 100 people for attacking the temple and several police officers were fired for neglecting to protect the temple. The temple’s destruction happened Dec. 30 in Karak, a town in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Supporters of Pakistan’s radical Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party and residents attacked the structure after being incited by a local cleric who was opposed to the temple’s planned renovation.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden has unveiled a $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan to end “a crisis of deep human suffering” by speeding up vaccines and pumping out financial help to those struggling with the pandemic’s prolonged economic fallout. Biden said Thursday that the nation faces “a crisis of deep human suffering.” He hopes his multipronged strategy will put the country on the path to recovery by the end of his administration’s first 100 days. The plan includes $1,400 checks for individuals, on top of $600 provided in the last COVID-19 bill. There’s also money for a mass vaccination campaign and a major expansion of local public health efforts.

CAIRO (AP) — The U.N.’s migration agency says a “tragic” shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea off of Libya’s coast has killed at least 43 migrants bound for Europe. The International Organization for Migration said Wednesday the shipwreck that took place a day earlier was the first maritime disaster in 2021 involving migrants seeking better lives in Europe. The IOM said coastal security in Libya’s western town of Zuwara rescued 10 migrants and brought them to shore. It said the dead were all men from Western African nations, according to survivors.

UK doctors seek review of 12-week gap between vaccine doses

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s main doctors’ organization says it is concerned about the U.K.’s decision to give people a second dose of coronavirus vaccine up to 12 weeks after the first, rather than the shorter gap recommended by manufacturers and the World Health Organization. The U.K. adopted the policy in order to give as many people a first dose of vaccine as quickly as possible. Almost 5.5 million people have received a first dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or the Oxford-AstraZeneca one. But the British Medical Association says there is “growing concern” about delaying the second Pfizer shot since “the U.K.’s strategy has become increasingly isolated from many other countries.”

Arizona deemed 'hot spot of the world' amid virus surge

PHOENIX (AP) — Five months after President Donald Trump hailed Arizona as a model for how it dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, public health experts warned that the state has become “the hot spot of the world.” Some say health restrictions the governor has been hesitant to impose could have tamped down the crisis. State health officials reported Wednesday a triple-digit number of new virus-related deaths for the second day in a row and more than 7,200 daily cases, with hospitals strained by a record number of patients. The head of the Arizona Public Health Association predicts Arizona will soon look like Los Angeles, where a COVID-19 surge has created an oxygen shortage and ambulances being turned away.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A panicked Israel started using a mass surveillance tool on its civilians in the early days of the pandemic It tracks people’s cellphones in hopes of stopping the spread of the coronavirus. The government touted the technology, which is normally used to catch wanted Palestinian militants, as a breakthrough against the virus. But months later, the tool’s effectiveness is being called into question. Critics also say its use has come at an immeasurable cost to the country’s democratic principles. Officials say the technology has been a critical tool in keeping track of the outbreak. They insist they’ve struck a balance between protecting individual rights and public health.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnian police say several people have been found dead in a cottage in southwestern Bosnia. Local media said eight people have died in carbon monoxide poisoning during New Year’s eve celebration. Local police spokeswoman Martina Medic told the Associated Press on Friday that police responded to a call around 10 a.m. in the village of Tribistovo where several people were found dead. The Posusje municipality, where the village is located, in a Facebook post mourned “eight young lives lost,” and urged the owners of cafes and restaurants to close down to honor the victims.

KEY WEST, Fla (AP) — Feral chickens run free in Key West, Florida, just one of those things that keep the Southernmost City charmingly weird. But what’s delightful here and there becomes a nuisance when they’re everywhere. With the population getting out of hand, city commissioners are taking action — not by hunting down the fixings for a massive tailgate party, but by going after their human enablers. They’re making it illegal to feed the free-roaming birds. An ordinance unanimously approved on a first reading Wednesday imposes fines of $250 per day for a first violation and $500 per day for repeat offenders.

School districts planning as teachers become eligible for vaccines

DODGEVILLE (WKOW) -- The Department of Health Services announced Tuesday Wisconsin's teachers are included in the next phase of people eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Their eligibility begins March 1.
"It's a game changer for us," Paul Weber, Dodgeville's District Administrator, said. "People just really want the shot. They just feel that it's going to provide that extra safety net for them in being in the building and working with students."
Weber said the district surveyed its staff and 91% of respondents said they want to get the vaccine.
"We think we have a good idea of how many people are going to be taking the shot and how many people are not going to take the shot," he said. "It's just really the logistics of the county telling us where it's going to happen and when is it going to happen."
He said district administrators have weekly planning meetings with Iowa County Public Health about how teachers and other school staff will get their shots. But Weber said he isn't yet sure if public health officials will administer the shots or if they will act as an intermediary between the school district and Upland Hills Health.
Though some details still have to be ironed out, Weber said most people working in the district are excited about Tuesday's announcement.
"To finally get some type of definitive date at least gives us some hope that it's coming," he said.
But Weber acknowledged many teachers might not get shots right when their eligibility starts because of a limited supply of doses.
"If we can start putting needles in arms March 1, I'd be happy," he said. "But it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't until the end of March before all of our staff are vaccinated."
But not every district expressed the same excitement as Weber following DHS' announcement.
"We were disappointed to hear this might not take place until March 1," Perry Hibner, a spokesperson for the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, said in an email. "Many of our educators hoped to at least have their first vaccination before returning to schools, but based on the latest timeline, it appears our elementary and middle school staff will be in buildings with students before that happens."
Hibner said the district is not planning any vaccine clinics for its staff because of guidance from DHS and Public Health Madison and Dane County. He said the district does have a list of all staff members who will be part of the next phase of vaccinations.
Weber said Dodgeville also has a similar list. He said Iowa County Public Health asked the district to create a priority list that health officials could use if they have shots that need to be used quickly before they spoil.
"Most of the time, that would include people who have closer contact with students," Weber said. He said that group includes food service staff and staff members who move between buildings.
Weber said he feels relieved to know his staff have a solid date for when their eligibility will start, particularly as he's had to watch other districts receive vaccines ahead of schedule.
"There was some disappointment and some confusion of why why them and not us," he said. "It doesn't sit well, but at the same time, we have to understand that this is the way it is, and we just have to be patient and wait our turn."

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — A company says it is planning to bring “unsinkable” amphibious boat tours back to a Missouri lake where 17 people drowned. The owners of Branson Duck Tours say they want to restart the tours on Table Rock Lake in Branson this spring. They say their boats will not resemble the World War II-era amphibious duck boats in use when a boat sank in July 2018 during a storm. The company plans to use Hydra-Terra amphibious vessels, which include foam-filled compartments in the hull for buoyancy. However, Branson spokeswoman Melody Pettit said the city has not received a business license application or heard anything about the proposal from Branson Duck Tours.

Wisconsin Republicans propose getting rid of mask mandate

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans who control the Wisconsin Legislature will vote next week on a resolution that would end the statewide mask mandate designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Twenty-seven Republican lawmakers signed on to the resolution introduced Thursday. The Senate on Friday scheduled it for a vote on Tuesday. Both the Senate and Assembly would have to pass it in order to end the public health emergency and undo the mask mandate issued by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. Because it’s a joint resolution, it wouldn’t require Evers’ signature to take effect. Evers’ current mask order is scheduled to run until March 20. The mask mandate took effect in August and Evers has renewed it three times.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — A military appeals court in Algeria has cleared four well-known people of plotting charges. They include the brother of the country’s longtime former leader, two ex-intelligence chiefs and the leader of a leftist political party. Among the four defendants is Said Bouteflika, brother and once-powerful special counsellor of former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who was forced to resign in April 2019 amid growing street protests. The others are former intelligence figures Gen. Athmane Tartag and Gen. Mohamed Mediene and a leftist leader.

SEOUL (AP) — Popular South Korean hip-hop trio Epik High was working on a song called “End of the World” before the pandemic hit last year. Now, the band’s frontman Tablo says, “I wish that this song is not relevant.” With the world sharing their feelings of “fear, confusion and trepidation,” the group stayed home to document the moment in songs, crafting a new double album called “Epik High Is Here.” The just-released first half is a collection of 10 songs featuring a diverse roster of artists including K-pop heavyweight CL, rising rapper Woo and Kim Sawol, the South Korean folk and rock singer-songwriter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has been thrown into a high-wire act with Russia as he seeks to toughen his administration’s stance against Vladimir Putin while preserving room for diplomacy in a post-Donald Trump era. The relationship is sure to be different than the one Putin had with Trump, who was enamored of the Russian leader even as his administration toed a tough line against Moscow. Biden says he’s going to call Putin out for the weekend crackdown on supporters of opposition figure Aleksey Navalny, charges that his security services were behind a recent massive cybersecurity breach and allegations that Russia offered the Taliban bounties to kill American troops in Afghanistan.

Biden flexes Georgia muscle alongside GOP in Senate races
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
President-elect Joe Biden is going all-in to help Democrats win two Senate runoffs in Georgia that will determine which party controls the Senate in the critical early years of his administration. Not long ago Biden’s widespread effort would have been unthinkable in a Republican-dominated state in the Deep South. The push ahead of Tuesday’s voting comes with more than 3 million Georgians already casting ballots in early voting. That’s about 60% of the total general election turnout. President Donald Trump narrowly lost the state to Biden in November and continues to assert falsely that the Georgia election process is rigged.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Australian police say a suspected Canadian drug baron has been arrested in the Netherlands on an Interpol warrant. The 57-year-old was detained on Friday and is of “significant interest” to Australian and other law enforcement agencies. Australian police say he was targeted as part of an operation that dismantled a global crime syndicate in 2019 that was accused of trading large amounts of illegal drugs and laundering the profits. The Australian police plan to seek his extradition. The suspect’s name was not released by Dutch authorities, in line with the country’s privacy rules, but media widely reported it to be Tse Chi Lop.

MOSCOW (AP) — Ukrainian officials say they have seized about 1.1 tons of heroin that smugglers intended to take into European Union countries and that four Turkish citizens have been detained. A statement late Tuesday from the national prosecutor-general’s office said the heroin was seized in the city of Lviv, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Polish border. It said the heroin originated in Pakistan and came into the country via the Black Sea port of Odesa. The statement said the heroin, whose value is estimated at $81 million, was to be taken into the EU under the guise of diplomatic cargo. The statement didn’t give further details.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A lawsuit against a Louisiana sheriff and seven deputies says deputies sat on and kept a chokehold on a shackled, obese, severely autistic 16-year-old for nine minutes until he died a year ago. The suit was filed Thursday in New Orleans by Donna Lou and her husband, Daren Parsa. It says they had to watch as their son, Eric Parsa, suffocated in a shopping center parking lot in suburban Metairie on Jan. 19, 2020. The sheriff’s office describes the suit as “rife with false claims and malicious accusations.” Lou wept as she read a statement during a news conference on Zoom.

California: Criminal rings loot billions in jobless funds

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California officials say hackers, identity thieves and overseas criminal rings stole an estimated $11.4 billion in unemployment benefits from California last year. But the extent of the fraud might grow far larger: billions more in jobless payments are under investigation. California Labor Secretary Julie Su told reporters in a conference call Monday that of the $114 billion the state has paid in unemployment claims, about 10% has been confirmed as fraudulent. Nearly $20 billion more is considered suspicious. Su says the state did not have sufficient security measures in place and criminals took advantage of the gaps.

GREEN BAY (WQOW) - The Green Bay Packers will invite approximately 6,000 season ticket holders to its Divisional Playoff game, the team announced Thursday.
Season ticket holders that opted in last summer for the chance to purchase tickets will receive on-sale information this week via email. Tickets will go on sale online through Ticketmaster on Tuesday after the date and time of the Divisional matchup is announced by the NFL. No tickets will be for sale through the Packers' ticket office.
READ THE FULL PRESS RELEASE HERE
Seats will be arranged in socially distanced pods of two, four and six tickets throughout the stadium. Prices, set by the NFL for playoff games, will range from $127 to $177, based on location. A service fee from Ticketmaster will also be charged.
The team said all tickets will be mobile and not able to be resold or transferred. Season ticket holders that purchase the tickets are responsible for coordinating all attendees within their pod, since entry to the game will be via a mobile ticket scan on the purchaser's mobile device. No exceptions will be made to this policy.
It is expected that season ticket holders attend the game with members of their household. Suites and club seats will not be accessible for the game, as both areas utilize indoor spaces.
Other guests in attendance will include invited frontline healthcare workers and first responders, as well as a league-mandated allotment for the visiting team.
Fans have not been allowed at home games all season. The team hosted a small number of Packers employees and their household family members for the final four regular season home games to test COVID-19 protocols.
The team said a limited amount of parking passes will be available for purchase by the season ticket holder making the ticket purchase. Access to the parking lot also will be via mobile ticket on the purchaser's mobile phone. Parking passes are not able to be resold or transferred.

VIRUS TODAY: Barriers slow efforts to vaccinate immigrants
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Here’s what’s happening Friday with the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.:
THREE THINGS TO KNOW TODAY
— Advocacy groups are warning that immigrants in the U.S. may be some of the most difficult people to reach during the national drive to vaccinate the population against the virus. Some immigrants in the country illegally fear that information taken during vaccinations could be turned over to authorities and so may not seek out vaccines, while those who speak little or no English may find it difficult to access shots.
— A group of fortunate Americans are getting pushed to the front of the line to get their COVID-19 vaccines as clinics scramble to get rid of extra, perishable doses by the end of the day. Some of those getting earlier than expected access just happen to be near a clinic at closing time, but clinic workers also go out looking for willing recipients. Other clinics are setting up lotteries to dispense their extra shots because the demand is so great. The process has emerged as one of the most unusual, and to some unseemly, quirks in the vaccination rollout.
— The White House is following public health guidelines for preventing the coronavirus under President Joe Biden. Testing wristbands are in. Mask-wearing is mandatory. Desks are socially distanced. While the Trump administration was known for ignoring infection-control guidance, the Biden team has made a point of adhering to the same advice that federal health officials are counseling Americans to follow.
THE NUMBERS: The U.S. is averaging more than 187,000 new cases and about 3,000 deaths each day. The nation’s death toll since the start of the pandemic now stands at more than 410,000.
QUOTABLE: “It became political to say that the pandemic was devastating our community because it was interpreted as a judgment on Trump.” — Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious-diseases physician and a professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, after National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci gave his first briefing since Biden took office.
ICYMI: California’s public health agency recently surprised local officials by lifting a stay-at-home order in the 13-county Greater Sacramento region, relying on data not publicly shared despite repeated pledges of transparency. State officials projected intensive care unit capacity and virus spread four weeks into the future to make the determination. State health department spokeswoman Ali Bay said the data is not being shared, citing concerns it would cause more confusion.
ON THE HORIZON: President Joe Biden plans to take executive action to provide a stopgap measure of financial relief for millions of Americans. Biden is also seeking to pass a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package to help those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unclear when the proposal will be introduced.

The Latest: China says COVID shots will be free in country
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
BEIJING — COVID vaccine shots will be free in China, where more than 9 million doses have been given to date, health officials in Beijing said Saturday.
“Ordinary people will not need to spend a penny,” Zheng Zhongwei, a National Health Commission official, said at a news conference.
The announcement cleared up confusion from a news conference nine days ago at which Zheng said it would be affordable, and a more senior official, Vice Minister Zeng Yixin, jumped in to say it would be free.
The costs will be covered by a national medical insurance fund and government funds. About 7.4 million shots have been given since a drive began Dec. 15 to inoculate medical and transport workers and other key groups ahead of Lunar New Year, a major holiday in mid-February. More than 1.6 million shots had been given in previous months.
Zeng, the vice minister, said the specific timing for a visit by a WHO expert team on the origins of the virus is being determined and that it would be joined by Chinese experts in Wuhan, the city where cases of the new coronavirus were first detected in late 2019.
WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed disappointment earlier this week that the Chinese side had not finalized the needed permissions for the visit. Two team members who were already en route had to turn back. Tedros said in Geneva on Friday that he expects the dates to be set next week.

THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— With virus surging, Biden to speed release of COVID vaccines
— U.S. tops 4,000 daily deaths from coronavirus for 1st time
— WHO: Rich nations, vaccine firms should stop bilateral deals
— London’s mayor has declared the capital’s COVID-19 situation to be critical, reflecting deteriorating conditions for beleaguered hospitals, as the country recorded its highest daily death toll in the pandemic.
— Greece has extended a two-month lockdown by at least one week, through Jan. 18, and announced plans to increase the number of people getting COVID-19 vaccines from 5,000 to 8,000 per day.
— New research suggests the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech can still work against a mutated coronavirus.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
BEIJING — Chinese authorities are asking residents in two cities south of Beijing to stay home for seven days as they try to stamp out a coronavirus outbreak in which more than 300 people have tested positive in the past week.
According to official notices on social media, the cities of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai in Hebei province are restricting people to their communities and villages and have banned gatherings.
Hebei reported 14 newly confirmed cases in the latest 24-hour period, bringing the total in the outbreak to 137. It has found 197 other people without symptoms who also tested positive. China does not include asymptomatic cases in its confirmed count.
Beijing is requiring workers from Hebei to show proof of employment in Beijing and a negative virus test before entering the capital.
___
MEXICO CITY — Mexico has posted its third straight day of a new high for coronavirus infections, with 14,362 newly confirmed cases and a near-record of 1,038 more deaths.
The country has now topped 1.5 million total infections and over 132,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.
The country’s extremely low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.
Officials say 6,623 people were vaccinated against the coronavirus Friday, a rate similar to previous days.
Mexico has received only about 107,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and has pinned much of its hopes on cheaper, easier-to-handle vaccines made by China’s CanSino, though that vaccine has not yet been approved for use.

SAN DIEGO — San Diego County is opening what it calls a “vaccination super station” that aims to inoculate up to 5,000 health care workers daily with a coronavirus vaccine.
The effort that begins Monday is one of the most ambitious yet in California to accelerate the pace of vaccinations that Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week was “not good enough.” Only about 1% of California’s 40 million residents have been vaccinated against the virus.
Medical crews from the University of California, San Diego, will operate the station in a parking lot near the downtown baseball stadium.
Health care workers will remain in their vehicles while they are given the shot and then will be asked to remain on-site for 15 minutes to be monitored in case of any allergic reaction.
___
MISSION, Kan. — Kansas state prisons, which have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, will be given priority in the next phase of vaccinations.
Officials have reported 5,320 coronavirus infections in the state’s prison system, which houses about 8,600 inmates. In addition, 1,076 prison employees have tested positive. Thirteen inmates and four staff members have died.
Gov. Laura Kelly said Thursday that inmates will be vaccinated after health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities. She says the prisons are being prioritized based on guidance from doctors and public health experts.
The second vaccination phase also will give priority to people 65 and older and critical workers such as firefighters, law enforcement officers, meatpacking employees, grocery store workers, teachers and child care workers.
___
ALBANY, N.Y. — Faced with mounting criticism over the slow pace of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that starting next week, the state will allow a much wider swath of the public to get inoculated, including anyone age 75 or older.
The governor warned Friday that initially, the supply of vaccines available to people other than health care workers and nursing home patients will be very limited.
Cuomo says a beefed up statewide distribution network will include pharmacies, doctors’ networks and county health departments. The 3.2 million New Yorkers newly eligible for the vaccine includes teachers, first responders and public safety workers.
The announcement came as many local officials argued it was time to distribute the vaccine beyond health care workers.
___
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford is in quarantine with his family after his wife tested positive for COVID-19, and he will not be able to fulfill his role of presiding over the Senate as the 2021 legislative session is getting underway.
Sanford’s spokesman, Mike Nowatzki, told the Bismarck Tribune that Sanford’s wife is asymptomatic and that Sanford planned to get his own COVID-19 test Friday, the session’s second day.
Nowatzki said Sanford is not showing any symptoms and is expected to return around the end of January.
Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, a Dickinson Republican, said senators haven’t been around Sanford or in meetings with him.
Sanford attended a joint legislative session on Tuesday, when Gov. Doug Burgum presented his State of the State address. Nowatzki said Burgum was not a close contact of Sanford, and that Sanford wore a mask the whole time and was socially distanced while seated in the chambers.
___
ATLANTA — Georgia ranks last among states for the share of available COVID-19 vaccines that it has administered, but Gov. Brian Kemp said the data is badly misleading as some hospitals have failed to report all the shots they’ve given.
Still, the Republican governor acknowledged Friday that the state is struggling with the vaccine rollout even as Georgia sets daily records for people hospitalized with the respiratory illness.
Kemp says he’s “not happy” with the effort. Georgia now has the capacity to administer 11,428 doses a day. At that rate, it would take more than two-and-a-half years to vaccinate every Georgia resident.
Amber Schmidtke, an epidemiologist who reports daily on Georgia’s outbreak, blamed the staggering start on “poor planning and execution of a mass vaccination strategy, if Georgia ever actually had one.” She said state government needs to call in more resources instead of pushing all the responsibility down to its 18 public health districts.
The struggles come even as the state is allowing people over 65 to be vaccinated starting Monday, leading to local health departments being overrun with people seeking appointments.
___
CHICAGO — Some in-person instruction at Chicago public schools will resume Monday for the first time in months, and the city’s mayor and school chief are warning teachers that their absence will have consequences.
The district is giving families the option for students in pre-kindergarten and some special education programs. K-8 students could return on Feb. 1. No date has been set for high school students.
About 6,500 students are expected Monday, still a fraction of the nation’s third-largest district.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Friday that remote learning “is not sustainable, not over the long term, because it does not serve every student equally, especially those students who are younger, who require additional help and support and simply don’t have access to a sustainable learning environment.”
The Chicago Teachers Union said many schools still carry risks for the coronavirus. Attendance by teachers this week has been uneven.

"BEIJING — COVID vaccine shots will be free in China, where more than 9 million doses have been given to date, health officials in Beijing said Saturday.\n“Ordinary people will not need to spend a penny,” Zheng Zhongwei, a National Health Commission official, said at a news conference.\nThe announcement cleared up confusion from a news conference nine days ago at which Zheng said it would be affordable, and a more senior official, Vice Minister Zeng Yixin, jumped in to say it would be free.\nThe costs will be covered by a national medical insurance fund and government funds. About 7.4 million shots have been given since a drive began Dec. 15 to inoculate medical and transport workers and other key groups ahead of Lunar New Year, a major holiday in mid-February. More than 1.6 million shots had been given in previous months.\nZeng, the vice minister, said the specific timing for a visit by a WHO expert team on the origins of the virus is being determined and that it would be joined by Chinese experts in Wuhan, the city where cases of the new coronavirus were first detected in late 2019.\nWHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed disappointment earlier this week that the Chinese side had not finalized the needed permissions for the visit. Two team members who were already en route had to turn back. Tedros said in Geneva on Friday that he expects the dates to be set next week.\n___\nTHE VIRUS OUTBREAK:\n— With virus surging, Biden to speed release of COVID vaccines\n— U.S. tops 4,000 daily deaths from coronavirus for 1st time\n— WHO: Rich nations, vaccine firms should stop bilateral deals\n— London’s mayor has declared the capital’s COVID-19 situation to be critical, reflecting deteriorating conditions for beleaguered hospitals, as the country recorded its highest daily death toll in the pandemic.\n— Greece has extended a two-month lockdown by at least one week, through Jan. 18, and announced plans to increase the number of people getting COVID-19 vaccines from 5,000 to 8,000 per day.\n— New research suggests the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech can still work against a mutated coronavirus.\n——\nFollow AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic, https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-vaccine and https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak\n___\nHERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:\nBEIJING — Chinese authorities are asking residents in two cities south of Beijing to stay home for seven days as they try to stamp out a coronavirus outbreak in which more than 300 people have tested positive in the past week.\nAccording to official notices on social media, the cities of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai in Hebei province are restricting people to their communities and villages and have banned gatherings.\nHebei reported 14 newly confirmed cases in the latest 24-hour period, bringing the total in the outbreak to 137. It has found 197 other people without symptoms who also tested positive. China does not include asymptomatic cases in its confirmed count.\nBeijing is requiring workers from Hebei to show proof of employment in Beijing and a negative virus test before entering the capital.\n___\nMEXICO CITY — Mexico has posted its third straight day of a new high for coronavirus infections, with 14,362 newly confirmed cases and a near-record of 1,038 more deaths.\nThe country has now topped 1.5 million total infections and over 132,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.\nThe country’s extremely low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.\nOfficials say 6,623 people were vaccinated against the coronavirus Friday, a rate similar to previous days.\nMexico has received only about 107,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and has pinned much of its hopes on cheaper, easier-to-handle vaccines made by China’s CanSino, though that vaccine has not yet been approved for use.\n___\nSAN DIEGO — San Diego County is opening what it calls a “vaccination super station” that aims to inoculate up to 5,000 health care workers daily with a coronavirus vaccine.\nThe effort that begins Monday is one of the most ambitious yet in California to accelerate the pace of vaccinations that Gov.

VILLAGE OF ALBANY, Wis. (WKOW) -- The infant reported missing on Saturday in Green County has been found dead, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ also said authorities are no longer looking for a gray Chevrolet Equinox.
Authorities said their initial investigation indicates that a baby girl was born on Jan. 5 at an Albany residence, then carried from the home by the father of the newborn. The father told the investigators he turned the infant over to an unidentified third party, an acquaintance of his, and the child had not been seen since.
The Albany Police Department is leading the investigation with assistance from the Green County Sheriff's Office. The DOJ said the investigation of the death is still active. Anyone with information about this incident should contact the Green County Sheriff’s Department at 608-328-9400.

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Police say two people have been fatally stabbed in Kenosha and one person is in custody. Officers responded to the stabbing scene about 4:20 a.m. Wednesday, which is located about a mile north of where protests occurred hours earlier following a prosecutor’s decision against charging a white officer who shot a Black man in the back, partially paralyzing him. Officer Nicole Kopp says the deaths don’t appear to be related to the protests that followed the Tuesday’s announcement by the Kenosha County district attorney, which resulted in small, peaceful demonstrations near the county courthouse.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — An FBI agent visited the home of a Michigan lawmaker’s top aide after authorities were informed that she had discussed the use of tear gas before the election. But Katie Reiter says the visit was because of a bizarre misunderstanding. Reiter says she had been on the phone 10 days earlier in October talking about legislation to ban the use of tear gas by police. State Sen. Rosemary Bayer says it’s possible an appliance repairman who was at Reiter’s home might have overheard the conversation. The FBI says it received a complaint about the “use of tear gas during the upcoming election.” Spokeswoman Mara Schneider in Detroit says the FBI didn’t know the comments were made in the context of proposed legislation.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A Delaware man charged with plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan is asking to be released from prison as he awaits court hearings. The News Journal in Delaware reports federal prosecutors say in court filings that Barry G. Croft Jr., is a “violent extremist” and that releasing him would be “unreasonable.” After Croft was arrested in October, he appeared in Delaware District Court and consented to his case being transferred to Michigan, where his co-defendants are charged. Croft hasn’t been able to appear in Michigan court because of delays in prisoner transfers out of the Philadelphia federal prison where he is jailed.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — India’s foreign minister has assured Sri Lanka that it will be prioritized when Indian-produced COVID-19 vaccines are ready for export. The office of Sri Lanka’s president says visiting Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar made the pledge in a meeting Wednesday. India’s drug regulator has approved two vaccines for emergency use for COVID-19. One was developed by Oxford University and U.K.-based drug maker AstraZeneca and another by the Indian manufacturer Bharat Biotech. Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing company, has been contracted by AstraZeneca to make 1 billion doses for developing nations, including India. However, delivery of the vaccine outside India is likely to take a number of months.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is preparing to convene for a new session with lawmakers sworn into office during a tumultuous period. A relative handful of Republicans are working to overturn Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump, and a surge of coronavirus infections is imposing limits at the Capitol. When lawmakers gather Sunday, Nancy Pelosi is set to be reelected as House speaker by fellow Democrats, who retain the majority but with the slimmest margin in 20 years. Opening the Senate could be among Mitch McConnell’s final acts as majority leader. Republican control depends on Tuesday’s runoff elections for two Senate seats in Georgia.

ZURICH (AP) — A player on Switzerland’s 3×3 basketball team has publicly come out as gay. Marco Lehmann announced his sexuality in an article published on the international basketball federation’s website one month after playing at the 3×3 World Tour finals in Saudi Arabia. The 27-year-old Lehmann says his decision “is for the future generations so they can live a free sporting life without hiding.” Lehmann says he was “definitely living the dream” in professional basketball but started having panic attacks just over a year ago. He says he wants to help Switzerland qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

A West Virginia state lawmaker has resigned to face federal accusations of entering a restricted area of the U.S. Capitol after he livestreamed himself with rioters. Republican Del. Derrick Evans notified Gov. Jim Justice on Saturday that he was resigning effective immediately. Evans said he took full responsibility for his actions and deeply regretted any pain or embarrassment he may have caused. He said he hopes his resignation can remove any distraction from the Legislature and help begin the healing process. Evans appeared before a federal judge on Friday afternoon after his arrest.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A small dog was found alive in the rubble of the deadly landslide that carried away homes in a Norwegian village, raising hopes for rescuers who are still searching for three missing people. Seven others have been found dead. The dog was found late Monday “in good condition” in an area where rescuers had been working, said police spokesman Ivar Myrboe. One rescuer says that “it is a joy for us and gives motivation to further work hard.” Search efforts continued in the landslide-hit village of Ask, 25 kilometers (16 miles) northeast of Oslo. The landslide is considered the worst in modern Norwegian history. At least 1,000 people have been evacuated.

VILLAGE OF ROCHESTER (WQOW) - Three people were discovered dead in a Racine County home on Friday, according to the Racine County Sheriff's Office.

Using drones and tactical robots, the deputies exited the home and attempted to make contact with the three known residents: two adults and their 30-year-old son.

CHICAGO (AP) — Far-right social media users for weeks openly hinted in widely shared posts that chaos would erupt at the U.S. Capitol while Congress convened to certify the election results. Some pro-Trump and QAnon social media accounts used hashtags like Storm the Capitol and Hold The Line to spread conspiracy theories or violent rhetoric on the platforms while urging Trump supporters to show up at the Capitol on Wednesday. And the president encouraged his Twitter and Facebook followers to attend Wednesday’s rally, at times using warlike imagery. Disinformation experts say that although Twitter and Facebook temporarily blocked Trump, the tech companies haven’t taken enough action against some of the accounts that encouraged Wednesday’s chaos at the capitol.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit has reached space eight months after the first demonstration flight of its air-launched rocket system failed. The company says a 70-foot-long LauncherOne rocket released from beneath the wing of a Boeing 747 aircraft off the coast of Southern California reached orbit Sunday. The rocket carried a cluster of very small satellites developed as part of a NASA educational program involving U.S. universities. Virgin Orbit attempted its first demonstration launch in May 2020. That rocket was released and ignited but only briefly flew under power before it stopped thrusting. The company determined there was a breach in a high-pressure liquid oxygen line.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Police say a renowned Baltimore dirt bike rider who appeared on an HBO drama about the city’s riding scene faces murder charges for the stabbing death of her partner. Lakeyria Doughty is known as “Wheelie Queen.” Authorities say she was charged with first- and second-degree murder for killing her 33-year-old partner, Tiffany Wilson, on Friday in West Baltimore. Detective Donny Moses tells the Baltimore Sun that it was a “domestic situation” in which the two had an argument. The 26-year-old Doughty called 911 after the stabbing, but Wilson died at the scene nearly four hours into the new year. It was the city’s first homicide in 2021.

BERLIN (AP) — A draft recommendation from Germany’s vaccination advisory committee calls for offering the AstraZeneca vaccine only to people aged 18-64 for now, citing what it says is insufficient data to judge its effectiveness for older people. The European Medicines Agency is expected to approve the AstraZeneca vaccine for use in the 27-nation European Union on Friday. It will be the third cleared for use in the EU after the BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. In a draft recommendation released on Thursday ahead of that decision, Germany’s permanent vaccination commission called for using AstraZeneca’s vaccine for 18-64s on the basis of currently available information. It said that “there currently is not sufficient data to assess the vaccination effectiveness from 65 years.”

NEW YORK (AP) — It dawned on the makers of HBO’s upcoming two-part documentary on Tiger Woods that the golf champion was simultaneously one of the world’s most famous people and a mystery to the public. So filmmakers Matthew Hamachek and Matthew Heineman sought to peel back the layers that protected Woods from view to create a fascinating portrait of a champion driven relentlessly to success. They explore his relationship with his late father, and the emptiness that led him to the double life with multiple women that memorably blew his marriage apart. The documentary “Tiger” debuts Sunday night, with the second part airing a week later.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s top leader says the country is forbidden from importing American and British Covid-19 vaccines, saying he doesn’t “trust” them. In a televised speech Friday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei referred to the surging death tolls in the U.S. and Britain and suggested those countries “sometimes” want to test vaccines on other nations. He said, “I really do not trust,” the U.S. and Britain, adding that he is ”not optimistic” about France as well. However Khamenei okayed vaccines from other “safe” places abroad, and supports efforts to produce an Iranain vaccine. Last month, the county began testing its vaccines. They are expected to hit the local market in spring.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

However, state officials did not provide an explanation for how per capita virus cases and transmission rates are combined at the regional level to project ICU space. Last week, state health officials told The Associated Press they were keeping all the data secret because it is complicated and might mislead the public. Coronavirus experts and open government advocates criticized the move, saying the public has the right to know what’s behind decisions that impact their lives.

Music stars slam UK's 'shameful' failure on EU touring rules

LONDON (AP) — Dozens of U.K. music stars including Elton John, Ed Sheeran and conductor Simon Rattle say musicians have been “shamefully failed” by the British government, which has left them facing post-Brexit restrictions on touring in the European Union. In a letter published Wednesday in the Times of London, more than 100 musicians including Sting, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Roger Daltrey of The Who, said the new U.K.-EU trade deal will make it impossible for many British musicians to perform in the EU.

"LONDON (AP) — Dozens of U.K. music stars including Elton John, Ed Sheeran and conductor Simon Rattle say musicians have been “shamefully failed” by the British government, which has left them facing post-Brexit restrictions on touring in the European Union. In a letter published Wednesday in the Times of London, more than 100 musicians including Sting, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Roger Daltrey of The Who, said the new U.K.-EU trade deal will make it impossible for many British musicians to perform in the EU. Britain’s departure from the EU means that U.K. citizens can no longer live and work freely in the 27-nation bloc. Britain and the EU each blame the other for failing to strike a deal for musicians.",

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The U.S. government has held its first-ever oil and gas lease sale for Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an event critics labeled as a bust with major oil companies staying on the sidelines and a state corporation the main bidder. The sale was held as scheduled Wednesday after a judge rejected requests by Indigenous and conservation groups to halt the event. It garnered bids on half of the tracts that were listed as available in the refuge’s coastal plain, an area considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich’in that provides habitat for wildlife including caribou, polar and grizzly bears, wolves and birds.

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is being scolded and blamed for Wednesday’s riots at the U.S. Capitol. Hawley’s political mentor, former Sen. John Danforth, says supporting him was the “worst decision” he’s ever made. The 41-year-old first-term senator has rapidly emerged as one of President Donald Trump’s most loyal backers in Congress, and he staged an Electoral College challenge that became the focus of a violent siege of the Capitol. He may be among the most tarnished by the events of Jan. 6 for years to come. One home-state newspaper editorial board declared he has “blood on his hands.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Most California Roman Catholic bishops are asking a judge to throw out a 2019 law that allowed accusers of clergy sexual abuse to sue even if they were molested decades ago. Motions filed this month in southern and northern superior courts ask judges to rule Assembly Bill 2018 unconstitutional. California is among at least 15 states that have extended the window for people to sue institutions over long-ago abuse. Attorney John Manley, who’s handled some of them, calls the California church challenge “morally reprehensible and hypocritical.” The California church already has paid more than $1 billion to settle previous claims.

Biden's long political evolution leads to his biggest test

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has navigated a half-century in American politics by relentlessly positioning himself at the core of the Democratic Party. Wherever that power center shifted, Biden was there. The common thread was Biden framing himself as a mainstream liberal but also a pragmatist who still insists that governing well depends on compromise and consensus. Now Biden’s central political identity faces the ultimate trial. On Wednesday, the 78-year-old president-elect will inherit stewardship of a nation wrenched by pandemic, seismic cultural fissures and an opposition party’s base that considers him illegitimate, even to the point of President Donald Trump’s supporters violently attacking the U.S. Capitol as Congress convened to certify Biden’s victory.

NEW YORK (AP) — A lawyers’ group has filed an ethics complaint against Rudy Giuliani with New York’s courts. They’re calling for him to be investigated and his law license suspended over his work promoting former President Donald Trump’s false allegations over the 2020 election. Lawyers Defending American Democracy, which includes former judges and federal attorneys among its members, sent the complaint on Wednesday to the Attorney Grievance Committee of the state’s court system saying Giuliani had violated the rules of professional conduct. An investigation would be the first step in a process that could lead to a disbarment. An email seeking comment was sent to Giuliani’s representative.

BEIJING (AP) — Shanghai has imposed lockdowns on two of China’s best-known hospitals after they were linked to new coronavirus cases. Outpatient services have been suspended at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Renji Hospital. Both facilities have been cordoned off, along with some surrounding residential communities. After months of quelling small clusters with mass testing, isolation and social distancing, China has seen outbreaks grow this winter, mainly in its frigid north. Lockdowns have also been imposed in parts of Beijing and other cities, and people have been told to avoid traveling for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — About three-quarters of voters who backed Republican candidates in Georgia’s Senate runoffs say President-elect Joe Biden was not legitimately elected in November. That’s according to AP VoteCast, a survey of voters in Tuesday’s high-stakes Senate contests. The poll of voters measured how deeply President Donald Trump’s false claims of fraud and misconduct have resonated with Republicans in the state. Despite the courts, state officials and the Justice Department finding no evidence of widespread voter fraud, roughly 9 in 10 of the Republicans’ backers say they lacked confidence that votes in November’s presidential contest were accurately counted.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Coronavirus infections in the Philippines have surged past 500,000 in a new bleak milestone with the government facing criticism for failing to immediately launch a vaccination program amid a global scramble for COVID-19 vaccines. The Department of Health reported 1,895 new infections Sunday, bringing confirmed coronavirus cases in the country to 500,577, the second highest in Southeast Asia. The Philippines has been negotiating with seven Western and Chinese companies to secure vaccines but the effort has been fraught with uncertainties and confusion. Elsewhere in Asia, a Chinese province grappling with a spike in coronavirus cases is reinstating tight restrictions on social gatherings. Hebei province has had one of China’s most serious outbreaks in months.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Prosecutors say the man who sold an AR-15-style rifle used in a 2019 mass shooting that killed seven people in West Texas has been sentenced to two years in federal prison. Marcus Anthony Braziel of Lubbock was sentenced Thursday. He pleaded guilty in October to unlicensed firearms dealing and concealing the proceeds from weapons sales from the IRS. Braziel admitted selling the rifle that Seth Aaron Ator, of Odessa, used when he killed seven people and wounded 25 others in the Midland-Odessa area. The rampage ended when police shot Ator dead. Documents said Ator had been adjudicated “mentally defective” and was therefore legally prohibited from possessing firearms.

Wisconsin Republicans move forward with virus response bill

MADISON, Wis. (WQOW) — Wisconsin Republicans are moving ahead with a fast-tracked coronavirus response bill that is opposed by Democrats and appears likely to be vetoed by Gov. Tony Evers.
The Assembly Health Committee plans to vote on the bill after a hearing Tuesday when the public will have its first chance to weigh in.
Committee approval will set up a vote on passage in the Assembly on Thursday. The GOP-controlled Senate could also approve it then, which would send the bill to Evers.
Republicans and Evers have been unable to agree on COVID-19 response measures since the Legislature last passed a bill nine months ago.
The GOP bll would give businesses protection from legal troubles if someone contracted COVID-19 on their property.
It would also not allow schools to teach virtually unless approved by two-thirds of the school board.
You can read all of the proposals here.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s top officials are sighing with relief as Joe Biden prepares to take over as president of the United States. But they’re warning that the world has changed after four years of Donald Trump and trans-Atlantic ties will be different in the future. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says Biden’s arrival is “resounding proof that, once again after four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House.” Speaking hours before Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, European Council President Charles Michel told EU lawmakers that trans-Atlantic relations have “greatly suffered in the last four years.” He says Europeans must “take our fate firmly into our own hands.” Germany’s president says it’s “a good day for democracy.”

An official with the Levies Force that serves as police and paramilitary in the area, says the attack took place early Sunday near the Machh coal field, about 48 kilometers (30 miles) east of the provincial capital Quetta. He said armed men took the coal miners to nearby mountains, where they opened fire on them. He said six of the miners were dead on the spot and five who were critically wounded died on the way to a hospital. No one immediately claimed responsibility.

NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran rock star Neil Young has become the latest artist to strike gold with his song catalogue. The Hipgnosis Songs Fund, a British investment company, announced that it had acquired a 50 percent stake in Young’s catalogue of some 1,180 songs that include ‘Heart of Gold,’ ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ and ‘Cinnamon Girl.’ Terms were not disclosed. The deal comes a month after Bob Dylan sold his song publishing for a fortune estimated at between $300 million and a half billion dollars. Song publishing is being looked at as a valuable investment at a time music sales have collapsed and the concert industry is on hold due to the pandemic.

Lawyers for Danish Parliament say ex-minister can be tried

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Two lawyers appointed by Denmark’s Parliament say a former immigration minister in the previous government can be tried before a rarely used court for a 2016 order to separate asylum-seeking couples when one of the pair was a minor. Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten newspaper quoted the lawyers as saying Wednesday there was a legal basis to charge former Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg with unlawful conduct. They based their conclusion on a report by a commission that said Stoejberg had received warnings from her department that the practice of separating couples in asylum centers was unlawful. Stoejberg said 32 couples were to be separated but only 23 of them were split up before the policy was halted.

Moscow court mulls house arrest for Navalny's allies

A Moscow court is considering a request to put several allies of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny under house arrest as authorities work to stymie more protests over the anti-corruption investigator’s jailing. Navalny’s supporters are calling for rallies on Sunday to demand his freedom. The 44-year-old is the best-known critic of President Vladimir Putin’s government. He, was arrested Jan. 17 upon returning from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin. Russian authorities have rejected the accusations. Navalny was jailed for 30 days after Russia’s prison service alleged he violated the probation terms of his suspended sentence from a money-laundering conviction that he rejects as politically motivated.

Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters have recovered the body of an Oregon woman whose vehicle was swept away in a deep mudslide during a winter storm last week. Jennifer Camus Moore, a registered nurse from Warrendale, Oregon, was driving in the Columbia River Gorge early Wednesday when her SUV was buried under about 15 feet of mud, rock and trees. Crews used front loaders, dump trucks and other heavy equipment to clear the edges of the debris field as they tried to find her in the wet, unstable mud. A private contractor helped verify the location of her vehicle on Saturday morning by using a high-powered metal detector.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Samsung Electronics Co. says its operating profit for the last quarter rose by more than 26% as it capped off a robust business year. But the South Korean tech giant expected its profit to weaken in the current quarter with a weak dollar and costs associated with expanded production lines. The company’s dual strength in parts and finished products allowed Samsung to thrive during the coronavirus pandemic as demand for devices and the chips that run them soared. Samsung has also dealt with legal issues surrounding its de facto chief, Lee Jae-yong, who last week was sentenced to prison in a bribery scandal.

World leaders are condemning the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. Leaders expressed shock at the chaos that unfolded Wednesday in a country they once relied upon for global leadership. Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain called images of the violence “disgraceful scenes.” Other European allies were similarly appalled and described the events as an attack on American democracy. Some singled out Trump for harsh criticism. Turkey, a NATO ally that has sometimes been at odds with Washington, also voiced concern.

Court: Private schools favored over public schools near NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — An appeals court has ruled that public schools in a highly segregated community near New York City were being overseen for years by a school board elected in violation of federal law. Wednesday’s decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan came in a long-running dispute over schools in East Ramapo. About 98% of the 29,000 students attending private yeshivas there are white while 92% of the 8,800 public school students are Black or Hispanic. Yet, the appeals court said, decisions about the public schools are made by a nine-member board controlled by an influential Orthodox Jewish rabbi and other private school advocates.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Linda Thomas-Greenfield says China is “a strategic adversary” that threatens the world. And she is expressing regret for a speech she gave in 2019 that praised China’s initiatives in Africa and made no mention of its human rights abuses. The veteran U.S. diplomat, pressured by Republican senators at a hearing Wednesday on her nomination as United Nations ambassador, said she sees China’s actions at the U.N. as “undermining” American values. And she said she “will be working aggressively against China.” Thomas-Greenfield, who was a rare Black woman in the Foreign Service when she joined in 1982, rose to be assistant secretary of state for Africa.

UKIAH, Calif. (AP) — A hospital in Northern California quickly vaccinated 850 people after a freezer that was holding the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines failed, prompting officials to do an emergency distribution of the vaccines before they spoiled. An outage Monday left the refrigerator at the Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Medical Center in Mendocino County without power. Cici Winiger, Adventist Health spokeswoman, told the Ukiah Daily Journal, that by the time hospital officials realized the freezer had malfunctioned, they had 2.5 hours to distribute the vaccines. Hundreds of county residents were given the vaccines on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Quilt artists create textiles to admire or cozy up with
| null | null |
wqow.com

In this winter of hunkering down at home, there’s a trend that’s just right for the times: quilts as decor and as art.
An artistic quilt might be displayed prominently on a wall, thrown over a couch, or just folded and hung from the rungs of a ladder. (Or you could cozy up with it.)
“Quilts bring warmth, depth and texture to any room,” says Suzy Williams, a quilter and graphic designer in Oak Park, Illinois. She offers tutorials and patterns for quilt making on her website, Suzy Quilts.
“Step back to the far edges of a room and see a quilt’s geometric design and color patterns as a whole composition. Or stand inches away and observe the luxurious combinations of fabric, stitching, batting density and glorious handmade variation,” she says.
Contemporary artists have added new twists to the age-old craft.
“Designers are modernizing and refreshing the aesthetic,” says Laura Preston, founder and designer at Vacilando Quilting Co. in Austin, Texas. Since she introduced wall quilts in 2018, she says, they have become the company’s best sellers.
“Hanging a quilt on the wall or incorporating quilted items into your home is a tactile alternative to traditional decor that can provide texture, softness, and even sound dampening,” Preston says.
Other uses of quilts in decor: “We’ve made quilted pillows, pouches, table runners and even coats, and hope to continue experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what a quilt can be,” she says.
MIXING OLD AND NEW
Los Angeles-based artist Sabrina Gschwandtner has created a quilt series stitching together 16 mm and 35 mm film strips and backlighting them with a lightbox to illuminate the patterns. She began the project, “Hands at Work,” in 2009 when a friend gave her some film being cleared out of the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Anthology Film Archives.
One example from the collection will be on view at Bentonville, Arkansas’ Crystal Bridges Museum of Modern Art in February. Gschwandtner has other works at Los Angeles’ Shoshana Wayne Gallery.
The project “uses film from every movie in my collection,” she says, and includes footage “of hands at work on many forms of craft, like dyeing, knitting, crocheting and quilting.”
Another quilt artist, Colleen Clines, went to India while attending the Rhode Island School of Design; working with textiles with women there inspired her to found the non-profit Anchal Project with her sister Maggie. They now employ over 150 artisans in India as well as in their native Louisville, Kentucky. Their minimalist quilt designs (some available at the retailer Brooklinen ) reference landscapes, architecture and photographs
Other quilters are melding the motifs of vintage fabrics with modern design. The retailer Garnet Hill’s Johanna quilt, for instance, features mini-floral printed circles laid out in a grid and sown onto a solid background. The Agnes quilt has a graphic block-print pattern in either vibrant red or soft gray, on a creamy white background.
And at Kiva Motnyk’s Thompson Street Studio in New York City, there’s a patchwork quilt fashioned from over 200 pieces in an array of blues, creams and whites. It calls to mind vintage ceramic tiles as well as traditional quilt squares. Her Sol cotton/linen quilt is a geometric abstract rendered in soft hues of berry, lavender and pink.
DISPLAYING QUILTS
Brooklyn-based quilt maker Caroline Z. Hurley offers a large ash wood quilt hanger. Clamp the edge of the textile between two wooden straps, and an aluminum cleat attaches it to the wall.
Vacilando’s wall quilts come with a wooden dowel and hanging tabs.
You might want to mount your quilt on something; Williams’ site suggests materials like foamcore or composite board.
The Louise Gray studio in Minneapolis offers two sizes of quilt hangers, small and large. Choose hickory or walnut wood, with black, brass or silver hardware. The studio’s “little quilts” measure 3-by-4 feet. Designs are minimalist, and the color palette is a soothing mix of hues like nutmeg, peach, heather, mango and yarrow.
Mini quilts, or quilt fragments, can also be framed in shadow boxes or sturdy picture frames; you’ll find DIY videos online.
New York interior designer Glenn Gissler, who frequently includes contemporary wall art in his projects, advises quilt owners to take care with the textiles.
“They need to be out of direct sun. Keeping air around them would be a good idea,” he advises. And give them a gentle but thorough shake now and then to remove dust.

"In this winter of hunkering down at home, there’s a trend that’s just right for the times: quilts as decor and as art.\nAn artistic quilt might be displayed prominently on a wall, thrown over a couch, or just folded and hung from the rungs of a ladder. (Or you could cozy up with it.)\n“Quilts bring warmth, depth and texture to any room,” says Suzy Williams, a quilter and graphic designer in Oak Park, Illinois. She offers tutorials and patterns for quilt making on her website, Suzy Quilts.\n“Step back to the far edges of a room and see a quilt’s geometric design and color patterns as a whole composition. Or stand inches away and observe the luxurious combinations of fabric, stitching, batting density and glorious handmade variation,” she says.\nContemporary artists have added new twists to the age-old craft.\n“Designers are modernizing and refreshing the aesthetic,” says Laura Preston, founder and designer at Vacilando Quilting Co. in Austin, Texas. Since she introduced wall quilts in 2018, she says, they have become the company’s best sellers.\n“Hanging a quilt on the wall or incorporating quilted items into your home is a tactile alternative to traditional decor that can provide texture, softness, and even sound dampening,” Preston says.\nOther uses of quilts in decor: “We’ve made quilted pillows, pouches, table runners and even coats, and hope to continue experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what a quilt can be,” she says.\nMIXING OLD AND NEW\nLos Angeles-based artist Sabrina Gschwandtner has created a quilt series stitching together 16 mm and 35 mm film strips and backlighting them with a lightbox to illuminate the patterns. She began the project, “Hands at Work,” in 2009 when a friend gave her some film being cleared out of the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Anthology Film Archives.\nOne example from the collection will be on view at Bentonville, Arkansas’ Crystal Bridges Museum of Modern Art in February. Gschwandtner has other works at Los Angeles’ Shoshana Wayne Gallery.\nThe project “uses film from every movie in my collection,” she says, and includes footage “of hands at work on many forms of craft, like dyeing, knitting, crocheting and quilting.”\nAnother quilt artist, Colleen Clines, went to India while attending the Rhode Island School of Design; working with textiles with women there inspired her to found the non-profit Anchal Project with her sister Maggie. They now employ over 150 artisans in India as well as in their native Louisville, Kentucky. Their minimalist quilt designs (some available at the retailer Brooklinen ) reference landscapes, architecture and photographs\nOther quilters are melding the motifs of vintage fabrics with modern design. The retailer Garnet Hill’s Johanna quilt, for instance, features mini-floral printed circles laid out in a grid and sown onto a solid background. The Agnes quilt has a graphic block-print pattern in either vibrant red or soft gray, on a creamy white background.\nAnd at Kiva Motnyk’s Thompson Street Studio in New York City, there’s a patchwork quilt fashioned from over 200 pieces in an array of blues, creams and whites. It calls to mind vintage ceramic tiles as well as traditional quilt squares. Her Sol cotton/linen quilt is a geometric abstract rendered in soft hues of berry, lavender and pink.\nDISPLAYING QUILTS\nBrooklyn-based quilt maker Caroline Z. Hurley offers a large ash wood quilt hanger. Clamp the edge of the textile between two wooden straps, and an aluminum cleat attaches it to the wall.\nVacilando’s wall quilts come with a wooden dowel and hanging tabs.\nYou might want to mount your quilt on something; Williams’ site suggests materials like foamcore or composite board.\nThe Louise Gray studio in Minneapolis offers two sizes of quilt hangers, small and large. Choose hickory or walnut wood, with black, brass or silver hardware. The studio’s “little quilts” measure 3-by-4 feet.

Quiet start to the week after weekend snow
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
We woke up to a fresh blanket of snow across western Wisconsin this morning. Most locations in the Chippewa Valley picked up between 2" and 4" of fresh snow Saturday night and Sunday, including in Eau Claire, where the official total was 2.7".
After a mostly cloudy start, we saw plenty of sunshine late this afternoon. We'll continue to see a mostly clear to partly cloudy sky overnight, as colder air continues to filter in. Many of us can expect lows in the single digits overnight, although temperatures are expected to warm into the low 20s again Monday afternoon.
We'll have high pressure to the north as the edge of a low pressure system to the south brings snow chances to far southwestern Wisconsin Monday. We could see a few extra clouds in the afternoon as a result, but that is the extent of the impacts we will see. In fact, precipitation chances are fairly minimal through the upcoming work week.
We aren't tracking any major chances for precipitation during that time, and the next system we are keeping an eye on isn't until next weekend.

With millions of Americans waiting for their chance to get the coronavirus vaccine, a fortunate few are getting bumped to the front of the line as clinics scramble to get rid of extra, perishable doses at the end of the day. Sometimes they just happen to be near a clinic at closing time. Sometimes clinic workers go out looking for recipients. Other times the demand is so great clinics set up lotteries to give out extra shots. It has become one of the most unusual, and to some unseemly, quirks in the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines.

WASHINGTON (WQOW) - In a video where he says the election was stolen, President Donald Trump is calling on those who stormed the Capitol to go home.
"You have to go home now, we have to have peace," Trump said. "We don't want anybody hurt. It is a very tough period of time."
In the video the president also reiterated claims that the election was stolen.
"I know your pain, I know your hurt," Trump said. "We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side."

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - You may have noticed construction workers hammering away at a building in downtown Eau Claire.
In Wednesday's You Ask, We Answer, several viewers want to know what's being built on the corner of East Madison and North Farwell Streets?
Eau Claire Community Development Director Scott Allen said garage and office space is going up at 405 North Farwell.
Allen said Superior Auto Body owns the 5,300 square foot space, and in order to do more vehicle repairs, they're remodeling this property that's across the street from their current location.
Allen said the building was originally constructed in 1929 as a retail store. According to the auto body shop, remodeling could cost $450,000.
"Certainly they're a long-time resident as it were of downtown Eau Claire and certainly seeing their reinvestment in the area is always a welcome sight and exciting to see older buildings get repurposed and certainly improved for health and safety in that area as well," Allen said.
Superior Auto Body Owner David Savage told News 18 they hope to have this expansion ready within a month.

NEW DELHI (AP) — The Indian army says it has apprehended a Chinese soldier in the remote Ladakh region, where the two countries are locked in a monthslong military standoff along their disputed mountain border. An army statement says the Chinese soldier was taken into custody on Friday for transgressing into the Indian side in an area South of Pangong Tso lake.

Brian Urquhart, early leader of United Nations, dies at 101

TYRINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — Brian Urquhart, an early leader of the United Nations who played a central role in developing the U.N. practice of peacekeeping, has died at his home in Tyringham, Massachusetts, according to his family. He was 101. The New York Times reports that Urquhart’s son confirmed he died on Saturday but didn’t provide a specific cause. Urquhart served in British military and intelligence during World War II and was the second official hired by the U.N. after its formation in 1945. He went on to be a principal adviser to five U.N. secretary-generals. Before he retired in 1986, he had directed 13 peacekeeping operations, recruited 10,000 troops from 23 countries and established peacekeeping as one of the U.N.’s most visible functions.

"TYRINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — Brian Urquhart, an early leader of the United Nations who played a central role in developing the U.N. practice of peacekeeping, has died at his home in Tyringham, Massachusetts, according to his family. He was 101. The New York Times reports that Urquhart’s son confirmed he died on Saturday but didn’t provide a specific cause. Urquhart served in British military and intelligence during World War II and was the second official hired by the U.N. after its formation in 1945. He went on to be a principal adviser to five U.N. secretary-generals. Before he retired in 1986, he had directed 13 peacekeeping operations, recruited 10,000 troops from 23 countries and established peacekeeping as one of the U.N.’s most visible functions.",

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration will include a “virtual parade across America” consistent with crowd limits during the coronavirus era.
Following the swearing-in ceremony on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20 on the west front of the U.S. Capitol, Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, will join Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband in participating in a socially distanced Pass in Review on the Capitol’s opposite front side, organizer said Sunday.
According to CNN, the parade, which will be televised, will celebrate American heroes and reflect on the nation's diversity and heritage.
Those are military traditions where Biden will review the readiness of military troops.
Biden will also receive a traditional presidential escort from 15th Street to the White House that will be socially distanced.
Organizers said the virtual parade will be designed to let people across the nation participate.

Biden intends to put Harriet Tubman on $20 bill

WASHINGTON (AP) - It looks like Harriet Tubman is once again headed to the front of the $20 bill.
Biden press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that the Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put the 19th-century abolitionist leader on the $20 bill.
Obama administration Treasury Secretary Jack Lew had selected Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president, on the $20 bill.
But Tubman's fate had been in doubt since the 2016 presidential campaign based on critical comments by then-candidate Donald Trump, who branded the move "pure political correctness."

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline jumped 9 cents a gallon over the past three weeks to $2.35. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey says Sunday that a rise in crude oil prices spurred the increase. The price at the pump is 30 cents less than it was a year ago. The highest average price in the nation is $3.40 a gallon in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lowest average is $1.90 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The average price of diesel spiked 7 cents over the past three weeks to $2.65. The survey was conducted Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers are vowing an investigation into how police handled Wednesday’s violent breach at the Capitol. The Democratic chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, California congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, says the breach “raises grave security concerns” and that her committee will work with House and Senate leaders to review the police response and preparedness. Authorities say four people died, a woman who was shot by police inside the Capitol and three other people who suffered “medical emergencies” related to the breach. At least 52 people were arrested as of Wednesday night, including 26 on the Capitol grounds, and 14 police officers were injured.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Sailors used to sing sea shanties to defuse tension and maintain their sanity amid isolation and cramped quarters on ocean journeys. During the pandemic, shanties are catching a second wind with people who’re feeling the same way while stuck at home. TikTok helped sea shanties go mainstream last month, and the ancient shanty “Wellerman” by the Longest Johns has sailed into the Top 40 chart in the United Kingdom. Geoff Kaufman, who used to direct the Sea Music Festival at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, said it’s wonderful to see a new generation taking an interest in shanties.

The first COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. and U.K. require two doses a few weeks apart. But the countries have differed on how closely those guidelines should be followed. To get more first shots into people and give them at least some degree of protection, the UK says it’s OK to delay the boosters for as long as 12 weeks. But that strategy has been nixed in the U.S., where regulators say there’s no science backing the approach. A major concern is that it’s unknown how long the partial protection from one dose can last.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Health officials say careless smoking was the leading cause of fatal fires in Minnesota in 2020. Fifty-three people died in fires last year, a 13% increase over 2019. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says seven deaths last year were attributed to careless smoking, the fifth consecutive year it led to fatal fires. The department says six victims died in fires that were attributed to gas leaks and five people died in cooking fires, the most since 2013. Health officials say 70% of the fire deaths involved people 50 and older.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are ticking higher Thursday, despite a dismal report on the number of layoffs sweeping the country. The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher in afternoon trading for the latest listless movements in its lull since setting a record last week. Investors are waiting to hear later in the day from President-elect Joe Biden, who’s expected to detail his plan bolster the economy. That, plus the continued rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, has Wall Street expecting a powerful rebound for the economy later this year and willing to look past the latest economic data to come in much worse than expected.

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte has resigned after a key ally yanked his support from his government. Conte is hoping to get President Sergio Mattarella’s support so he can form a new coalition government to steer Italy through the pandemic. Mattarella can ask Conte to try to form a broader coalition government, mandate a new prime minister to try to form a government from the same parties, appoint a largely technical government or call an election two years early. Conte’s government was thrown into turmoil this month when a junior coalition party headed by ex-Premier Matteo Renzi yanked its support. The president will begin consulting with leaders of political parties on Wednesday.

What you can do with your stimulus check
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
(WQOW)- While some are already seeing the benefits of the stimulus in their bank accounts, what exactly is the best way to use it?
Local financial advisers say it all depends on each person's financial situation, and everyone should either save it or spending according to what works best for them. If you are thinking of spending it, however, advisers suggest giving back to local businesses, which can have a major impact on the local economy as a whole.
"The Eau Claire area has anywhere from 70,000-100,000 people," said Michael Brahmer, a financial adviser for DECADES Financial. "That's anywhere from $40 to $60 million that could be invested locally or reinvested if they were spending those funds.
On the flip side, if you're thinking about making future investments with your stimulus money, but unsure if now is the time due to a struggling economy during the pandemic, advisers still suggest getting into the market sooner rather than later.
"I would not recommend waiting because you never can time what's going to happen," Brahmer said. "Obviously looking back, we never saw COVID coming, and so you never know when there's going to be a good time or not. It's about finding what your unique goals are, how you want to deploy and use your money, and choosing an appropriate strategy that way.
Brahmer also says if you receive a physical check, don't hesitate to deposit it to your savings account, because despite low-interest rates at banks and credit unions nationwide, it will still build over time, which could have a greater long-term impact on your finances.

After pardon, Blackwater guard defiant: ‘I acted correctly’

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of four former U.S. government contractors pardoned by President Donald Trump in the shooting deaths of Iraqi civilians says he feels like “I acted correctly.” Evan Liberty spoke to The Associated Press in his first interview since being pardoned late last month. The guards were convicted in the deaths of 14 civilians, including women and children, during a 2007 shooting at a crowded Baghdad traffic circle. Liberty says he didn’t shoot at anyone who didn’t shoot at him. He says he’s not sure what his future holds, but he may pursue a career in fitness and is interesting in helping veterans’ organizations.
