Millennial Money: 3 things to know if you’re new to gig work
| null | null |

Many new gig workers aren’t aware of the tax obligations associated with their new status as independent contractors. Delivery drivers, grocery runners and freelancers need to pay income and self-employment tax on their earnings, which can amount to 30% of their earnings. Potential gaps in insurance coverage can also be an unwelcome and expensive surprise. You can head off these issues by planning ahead and reading the fine print. Tracking expenses, saving for self-employment taxes and reviewing insurance coverage should be top priorities for those new to the gig economy.

Sidelining experts, Brazil bungled its immunization plans
| null | null |
wqow.com

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil hasn’t approved a single vaccine yet, and independent health experts who participated in its immunization program say the plan is still incomplete, at best. Members of the expert committee and former health officials interviewed by The Associated Press condemned the government’s unjustifiable delay in formulating a vaccination effort, in seeking syringe suppliers and for the months spent rejecting all but one possible vaccine manufacturer. They also complained of President Jair Bolsonaro undermining the ministry’s effectiveness, pointing to the removal of highly trained professionals from leadership positions, replaced by military appointees with little or no public health care experience.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A health care venture created by three corporate giants to attack soaring care costs will shutter only a couple years after launching. A company spokeswoman said Monday that Haven will end operations in February. The venture was formed in 2018 by Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway. The representative gave no reason for the move. The independent company was created to focus on improving care delivered to employees of those businesses while doing a better job managing the expense. The companies then picked a high-profile CEO, Harvard professor Dr. Atul Gawande, to lead the venture. Gawande left last May.

Trump extends visa ban; court clears health insurance rule

SAN DIEGO (AP) — President Donald Trump has extended pandemic-related bans on green cards and work visas to large groups of applicants through March 31.
Also, a federal appeals court has sided with him on a rule that requires new immigrants to have their own health insurance.
The twin developments encapsulate how Trump has reshaped the U.S. immigration system without support from Congress.
President-elect Joe Biden has promised to undo many of Trump’s actions after taking office Jan. 20, but it is unclear how quickly and even to what extent that might happen.

Foggy and Cool
Thanks to a little afternoon sunshine some in the area were able to jump into the lower 30s on Saturday. Overnight a DENSE FOG ADVISORY will be in effect for the entire News 18 viewing area. We have a good deal of moisture in the lower levels of the atmosphere, as well as light winds will help this fog develop. Since our temperatures will be in the teens overnight, I am expecting some freezing fog in spots which could cause slick roadways/side walks. Fog should lift Sunday morning.
Warming Trend
As we head into Sunday our highs return to the upper 20s/low 30s. Our models are hinting at decreasing clouds throughout the day on Sunday, so fingers crossed for a little afternoon sunshine. Monday highs should reach the mid to even upper 30s for some. We have a little disturbance that could bring a few flurries later in the day. Temperatures will hangout in the 30s for the rest of the week which is above average for this time of year. We have the chance for a wintry mix on Wednesday, with rain and snow looking possible. More details tonight on WQOW.

TOKYO (AP) — IOC President Thomas Bach and local organizers are pushing back against reports that the postponed Tokyo Olympics will be canceled. The Tokyo Games were postponed 10 months ago at the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and now the event appears threatened again. The Times of London cited unidentified government sources when reporting that the games will have to be canceled. The local organizing committee did not address The Times story directly but says the Olympics were going forward and had the support of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

Dutch prosecutors won't investigate scandal-hit tax office

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch prosecutors have declined to open an investigation into possible discrimination by staff at the country’s tax office. The Public Prosecution Service said Thursday it found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in a long-running scandal linked to efforts to track down parents fraudulently claiming child care benefits. The Dutch government asked prosecutors to consider opening a criminal case in May amid reports of possible profiling by tax authorities seeking to identify fraudsters. One of the criteria used to select parents for investigation was having dual nationality. Over several years, thousands of parents had their child care benefit payments stopped or were ordered to repay money amid fraud investigations.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says his administration is suspending an effort to buy hundreds of millions of syringes just as the country is preparing to launch nationwide vaccination campaigns against COVID-19. Bolsonaro said on his social media channels Wednesday that prices for syringes have soared, so “The Health Ministry has suspended the purchase until prices return to normal.” Bolsonaro says there are enough needles to handle the first stage of the forthcoming immunization campaign, “because the amount of vaccines at first is not big.” The government posted its tender for 331 million syringes on Dec. 16, but received bids for only 8 million by the deadline.

California bypasses tough nurse care rules amid COVID surge

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — 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.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A newly elected Kansas lawmaker accused of threatening two state officials and abusive behavior toward girls and young women before taking his seat will get a public warning about his past conduct. A House committee’s decision Friday to send a public letter of warning to state Rep. Aaron Coleman of Kansas City, Kansas, means he won’t face possible removal from office. The committee said its letter will outline expectations for Coleman’s future behavior. He promised to abide by what it spells out. Coleman denied an allegation that he threatened the House’s top Democrat this summer but said a post-November election tweet about Gov. Laura Kelly was inappropriate.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Federal agents have accused an Arkansas man of beating a police officer with a pole flying a U.S. flag during last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol. In an arrest affidavit filed Thursday in federal court in Washington, an FBI agent said Peter Francis Stager is shown in video and photographs striking a prone police officer repeatedly with the flagpole. That was after rioters had dragged the officer down stairs on the Capitol’s west side. Confidential informants led agents to Stager, who is charged with interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.

Extremists exploit a loophole in social moderation: Podcasts

Major social platforms have been cracking down on the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. But Apple and Google, among others, have left open a major loophole: Podcasts. Major tech platforms are still highlighting podcasts that let you tune into the world of the QAnon conspiracy theory and other accounts banned on social media. Such conspiracy theorists have peddled stolen-election fantasies, coronavirus conspiracies and violent rhetoric. Experts say podcasts play an outsized role in propagating white supremacy. Some podcasters have been banned from Google’s YouTube, but continue to publish on major podcast platforms.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California has hit another grim coronavirus milestone. Data from John Hopkins University on Monday showed the nation’s most populous state has recorded more than 30,000 deaths since the pandemic started nearly a year ago. Deaths have exploded since a COVID-19 surge began in October. It took the state six months to record its first 10,000 deaths. But in barely a month the total rose from 20,000 to 30,000. Over the weekend, the state reported a two-day record of 1,163 deaths. Hospitalizations also have exploded and many hospitals are stretched to the limit. Health officials have warned the worst is yet to come later this month.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stunning scenes of President Donald Trump’s supporters storming the U.S. Capitol played out in searing fashion on national television. The pictures were breathtaking: security officers with their guns drawn on the floor of the House of Representatives, rioters smashing windows at the Capitol and climbing in. Anchors and reporters were quick to question why law enforcement wasn’t prepared, given the rally that Trump had spoken at earlier in the day, and some were quick to assign blame on the president for inciting the action. Reporters huddled with politicians inside the Capitol seeking safety from the unrest.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two days after thousands of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, President Donald Trump sits at the most isolated moment of his presidency. His allies across Washington have begun to desert him, two Cabinet members and at least a half dozen aides have resigned, and a handful of congressional Republicans are openly considering whether he should be forced out before his scheduled Jan. 20 departure. They all blame Trump for inciting this week’s violent insurrection that killed at least five people — including a police officer — and desecrated the ultimate symbol of American democracy. There is a growing sense that the disgraced president is forever tarnished.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is shunning the “ex-presidents club” — and the feeling is mutual. Trump is not an easy fit for the group of former commanders in chief who revere the presidency enough to put aside their often bitter political differences. Members of the ex-presidents club pose together for pictures. They pat each other on the back while milling around historic events, sit somberly side by side at VIP funerals and rarely criticize one another. Like so many other presidential traditions, Trump seemed happy to flout them. Now that he’s left office, it’s hard to see him embracing the stately, exclusive club of living former presidents.

QUEBEC CITY (AP) — A curfew meant to curb a rising tide of COVID-19 cases has taken effect across Quebec. Premier Francois Legault says the measure that began at 8 p.m. Saturday is needed to prevent gatherings that have fueled the rampant spread of the virus, The French-speaking Canadian province has a population of more than 8.4 million. The rules will see most residents face police questions or fines of up to $6,000 Canadian (US$4,728) if they’re out between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. for the next four weeks. There are exceptions for essential workers, people walking dogs, and those who have medical reasons to be out, such as a doctor’s appointment.

Eau Claire teen among nation's first female Eagle Scouts
| null | null |

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - It takes 21 merit badges to be an Eagle Scout. Maddy Branco has 36.
"I decided to do way more merit badges because I just found a joy for doing them," she said.
Branco also completed a community service project by building picnic tables for the Flying Eagles Ski Club; another key part to being qualified to be an Eagle Scout.
She, like tens of thousands of other girls, joined Scouts BSA when they began admitting girls in February 2019. She was inspired to join largely by watching her brothers and what they got to do in the Scouts, and in a classic sibling rivalry, she wanted to out-do them.
"I really wanted to get Eagle before my brothers," Branco said.
This winter, hundreds of girls nationwide are going before their local board of review, and being recommended to the National Council to become Eagle Scouts.
Branco's recommendation ceremony took place Thursday, something that Chippewa Valley Council president Kathy Wright said is exciting to see.
"Maddy is truly the epitome of an Eagle Scout," Wright said. "She really embraces all of the scout oath and what it means to be a scout. She lives it every day in her life and that's really impressive."
Being among the first female Eagle Scouts in the organization's 100-plus-year history is not something lost on Branco, who said she hopes more children can learn the skills Scouts BSA teaches.
"It feels like I'm creating, I'm starting a path for other girls," she said.
In February, Branco and hundreds of others will be officially confirmed as Eagle Scouts, but on Thursday afternoon, she was able to be recognized by the local scout leaders and got a big hug from her very proud mom.
Becoming an Eagle Scout isn't Branco's only goal. She is also a Girl Scout and is working to reach the "gold award," the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts.

GREEN BAY, Wis.

Kevin Warych says he saw some “pretty alarming pictures on social media,” during last Saturday’s Green Bay Packers game. Posts showed patrons without masks packed into bars and restaurants. Warych says they want “people to have a safe and enjoyable weekend coupled with a victory from the Packers.” The police department’s main goal is education and compliance. Officers will document complaints and provide them to the public health department.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s extraordinary effort to overturn the presidential election is going before Congress. Lawmakers are set to convene Wednesday for a joint session, required by law, to confirm the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden. The typically routine proceeding will be anything but that. The president’s Republican allies plan to object to the election results. Many say they are heeding the pleas of the president’s supporters’ to “fight for Trump.” Trump is planning a rally outside the White House. The longshot effort is all but certain to fail. Bipartisan majorities in Congress are prepared to accept the results.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti is bracing for widespread protests as opposition leaders demand that President Jovenel Moïse step down next month as an increasingly tired and angry population worries he is amassing too much power as he enters his second year of rule by decree. Friday marks the first protest that opposition leaders are organizing this year as they push for Moïse’s resignation and call for legislative elections to restart a Parliament dissolved a year ago. The groundswell of opposition comes amid spiraling crime, a crumbling economy and approval of what critics say are illegal presidential decrees and unconstitutional moves.

California orders surgery delays as virus swamps hospitals
| null | null |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hospitals in California are so swamped by the coronavirus that the state has ordered those with room to accept patients from others that are out of intensive care beds. The public health order issued Tuesday could result in patients being shipped to Northern California from Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley, where 14 counties also were ordered to delay nonessential “and non-life threatening” surgeries. For much of the year, California managed to avoid a catastrophe. But now the virus is raging and California remains at or near the top of states with the most new cases per capita.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The former top editor of The New York Daily News has been tapped as the next executive editor of The Providence Journal. David Ng succeeds Alan Rosenberg, who retired in December 2020 after more than four decades working at Rhode Island’s largest paper. The 62-year-old said he hopes to continue the Journal’s mission of serving as the “town square for its citizens” to gather to “share our stories and to exchange ideas and debate our opinions.” Lisa Strattan, a vice president of news at Gannett, the Journal’s parent company, said Ng’s “drive to win” and commitment to diversity and inclusion will elevate the Journal’s coverage. Ng starts Jan. 28.

EU proposes more travel restrictions to stop virus variants

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s executive body has proposed that EU nations impose more travel restrictions to counter the worrying spread of new coronavirus variants. But the European Commission also wants to make sure to keep goods and workers moving across EU borders. It wants EU nations to reinforce testing and quarantine measures for travelers as virus mutations that are more transmissible threaten to overwhelm European hospitals with new cases. Some nations, like Belgium, have already banned all nonessential travel for its residents. More than 400,000 EU citizens have already died from the virus since the pandemic first hit last year.

Egypt says it has launched vaccinations against coronavirus

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt has launched a vaccination campaign against the coronavirus. The first shots of Chinese state-owned pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm’s vaccine were given to healthcare workers in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia. Health Minister Hala Zayed says they would prioritize vaccinating healthcare workers in 40 hospitals, designated to isolate and treat COVID-19 patients across the country. Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, has reported more than 161,140 confirmed cases, including 8,902 deaths. However, the actual numbers of COVID-19 cases, like elsewhere in the world, are thought to be far higher, in part due to limited testing.

A number of taxpayers who use tax preparation services, such as H&R Block and TurboTax, say their second relief payments were sent to the incorrect bank account. The IRS and the Treasury Department began issuing the Economic Impact Payments last week. The payments of $600 for each eligible adult and dependent sent via direct deposit were largely available on Monday. Some payments are also being sent via paper check or debit cards during January. However, many people who paid their tax preparation fees with their refund said that their relief payments were sent to an account they did not recognize.

LONDON (AP) — Trucks owned by British shellfish firms have descended on Parliament to protest Brexit-related red tape they claim is suffocating their businesses. About a dozen large trucks drove past the Houses of Parliament in London and parked outside Downing St., home to Prime Minister Boris Johnson. One truck bore the words “Brexit carnage!” on its side. British fishing communities were among the strongest supporters of leaving the European Union, because it promised the chance to regain control over who is allowed to fish in British waters. But now some in the U.K. fishing industry say they face ruin because of new barriers to shipping their catch abroad.

Republican Party faces defining moment under Trump's shadow

NEW YORK (AP) — The Republican Party is facing a defining moment. The move to certify the Electoral College for President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday has divided the GOP, opening a schism between those wanting to honor democratic norms and those staying in lockstep with President Donald Trump out of hopes of avoiding his wrath and inheriting his supporters. The final outcome is not in doubt: The results will eventually be certified for Biden. But what comes next for the Republican Party is anything but clear. It is a party engulfed in a civil war, a split caused by degrees of loyalty to Trump.

Durant finished with 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists to give the Nets their fourth straight victory in a game in which two of the East’s best went toe-to-toe right down to a tense finish that ended when Khris Middleton missed a potential winning 3-pointer from the corner. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 34 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Milwaukee, which had its four-game winning streak stopped. Middleton added 25 points and Jrue Holiday had 22.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mexico’s president says that President Joe Biden has told him the U.S. would send $4 billion to help development in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Hardships in those nations have spawned tides of migration through Mexico toward the United States. Biden made his initial calls to foreign leaders on Friday, with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico’s Andrés Manuel López Obrador first on the list. The Canadian prime minister this week publicly expressed disappointment over Biden’s decision to issue an executive order halting construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — In Zimbabwe, where girls as young as 10 are forced to marry due to poverty or traditional and religious practices, a teenage taekwondo enthusiast is using the sport to give girls in an impoverished community a fighting chance at life. Natsiraishe Maritsa, 17, said she is using classes in the martial art to rally young girls and mothers to fight child marriage. Children as young as four and some of Natsiraishe’s former schoolmates who are now married, line up on the tiny, dusty yard outside her parents’ home in the poor Epworth settlement, near the capital, Harare. They enthusiastically follow her instructions to stretch, kick and spar. After class, they talk about the dangers of child marriage.

LONDON (AP) — Britain appears ready to order some travelers coming in from abroad to isolate in hotels in an attempt to stop the import of new virus variants. Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said there would be an announcement Tuesday on plans for tighter border measures. The BBC reported that people arriving from most of southern Africa and South America, as well as Portugal, will have to self-isolate in a hotel for 10 days at their own expense. Quarantine hotels have been used to limit virus transmissions in Australia, New Zealand, China, India and Singapore but the practice has not been widely adopted in Europe. Britain has Europe’s deadliest coronavirus outbreak and will soon pass 100,000 confirmed virus deaths.

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities say a Honduran woman gave birth on the Mexican side of the border bridge linking Matamoros to Brownsville, Texas. The woman was apparently trying to reach the U.S. side, but felt unsteady when she got there and was helped by pedestrians waiting to cross. The woman was identified as Leidy Hernández, 24. Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said Sunday that the incident occurred Saturday afternoon on the border bridge known as “Los Tomates.” She was taken to a hospital in Matamoros. Her child will have the right to Mexican citizenship. Hernández was awaiting U.S. hearings on a claim for asylum or a visa.

Poland: Near-total abortion ban takes effect amid protests

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A near-total ban on abortion has taken effect in Poland three months after a top court ruled that the abortion of congenitally damaged fetuses is unconstitutional. Led by a women’s rights group, people poured onto the streets of Warsaw and other cities for the second evening in a row on Thursday to protest the move. Some Polish women are saying if they can’t terminate pregnancies in cases of badly deformed fetuses, they won’t try to have children at all. Poland’s top human rights official denounced the further restriction of what was already one of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe, calling it a tragedy for women which condemns them “to torture.”

Wisconsin protester at U.S. Capitol reflects on activism turning to chaos
| null | null |
wqow.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKOW) -- A New Berlin woman who was among the thousands of protesters Wednesday in support of President Trump says inspiring activism turned into haunting disbelief after a siege on the U.S. Capitol left one demonstrator dead.
"It was very upsetting," Betsy Heinzel says.
Heinzel traveled with family members to Washington and says the sea of support for the president involving people from all stations in life moved her. "I actually started crying," Heinzel says.
Heinzel says there was a festive air to the crowd that continued after President Trump's remarks to the throng, and as protesters began making their way to the capitol. She says there was nothing to indicate the continuing demonstration would escalate into civil disobedience and chaos.
Heinzel says that changed when she arrived at the capitol. "There was a murmur through the crowd, 'They breeched the building,' " she says. "I first didn't believe it...because that's not what we should be about."
Authorities say as protesters pushed toward the House chambers inside the capitol, a law enforcement officer fatally shot 35-year old Ashli Babbit of San Diego.
"It was just devastating to see what happened to that poor woman," Heinzel says.
"We were on such a high and we felt so good about what we had participated in as far as patriotism," Heinzel says. "It was like going from the highest high to the lowest low."
A reporter with our Minneapolis affiliate station KSTP spoke with a Wisconsin man who was part of storming the capitol. The man declined to provide his name. "We're patriots and we're to the point where we felt our voice wasn't being heard and counted on," he says. "We started talking to Capitol Police. It was not personal, just wanted voices heard. Looking back, it could have been handled differently."
"Too bad they weren't invited in, like some other people invited protesters in at other times," Heinzel says of those who stormed the capitol building. "But I don't ever believe in any kind of violence."
Heinzel says she participated in a counter demonstration at Wisconsin's state capitol in 2011 as protesters tried to stop Governor Scott Walker's elimination of most public employee rights to collectively bargain wages and benefits. She says the size of Wednesday's rally to support the president and call for more inquiry into alleged irregularities during November's presidential election dwarfed the Madison activism. Elections officials in several states and judges hearing legal challenges to the November voting say the balloting was proper.
During his remarks to the crowd, President Trump urged the march to the capitol and said demonstrators must show strength. Heinzel says she lays blame for the violent siege on those who carried out, not the president. "And I don't care if it's the President of the United States," Heinzel says of whether the president's words could have been interpreted as license for demonstrators to commit civil disobedience. "Everyone should know right from wrong."
Heinzel says some protesters discussed divorcing themselves from voting and political participation in the wake of Wednesday's chaotic and violent events. She says she considers voting sacred and will continue to cast ballots.
Heinzel is firm on whether what she witnessed and experienced in Washington shakes her faith in President Trump. "Not at all."

CHICAGO (AP) — The brother of Chicago Bears Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher has been pardoned of federal charges that he recruited for a multi-million dollar illegal offshore gambling ring. Casey Urlacher is the mayor of the tiny Chicago suburb of Mettawa and was among those pardoned in the final hours of President Donald Trump’s term. The 41-year-old was charged last February and pleaded not guilty. Brian Urlacher has supported Trump, contributing to his campaign shortly after his brother was indicted. He also visited the White House and presented Trump with a No. 54 Chicago Bears jersey days after his brother pleaded not guilty.

BEIJING (AP) — More than 360 people have tested positive in a growing COVID-19 outbreak south of Beijing in neighboring Hebei province. China’s National Health Commission reported Sunday that 69 new cases had been confirmed in the latest 24-hour period, including 46 in Hebei. The outbreak has raised particular concern because of Hebei’s proximity to the nation’s capital. Travel between the two has been restricted, with workers from Hebei having to show proof of employment in Beijing to enter the city. Hebei has recorded 183 confirmed cases and an additional 181 asymptomatic cases over the last eight days. China does not include those who test positive but do not show symptoms in its official case count. Japanese opposition lawmakers slammed the government’s emergency declaration as too late.

NUCSOARA, Romania (AP) — A gentle hero to many in Romania, Valeriu Nicolae says that, at heart, he is more like former NBA star Michael Jordan — highly competitive and eager to improve in what he does best. In Nicolae’s case that is helping others. The rights activist has earned praise for his tireless campaign to change for the better the lives of the Balkan country’s poorest and most underprivileged residents, particularly children. This is a daunting task in the country of 19 million where hundreds of thousands of children lack basics and are unable to attend school. Romania is a member of the European Union but bad management and widespread corruption have stalled economic and social progress.

School choice lawsuit surge pushes possible high court fight

Vermont is facing at least its second lawsuit in four months over a voucher program that allows students in communities that don’t have schools or are not part of supervisory unions to attend schools of their choice. Four Vermont families are suing the state and their school districts. An attorney at the Liberty Justice Center, a nonprofit Chicago-based law firm that fights for school choice, says it’s unfair to only offer the tuition benefit to some Vermont families. If the lawsuit succeeds, the nonprofit says it will file legal challenges in other states with similar programs. But critics say the lawsuit is a veiled attempt to get a case to the U.S. Supreme Court to get more public funding into private education, including religious schools.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Colorado-based travel company has agreed to refund more than $650,000 to several hundred Minnesota music students after COVID-19 scuttled their trip to Europe last spring. Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Friday that Voyageurs International agreed to a settlement calling for the company to pay $664,835 in refunds to 344 students. Ellison’s office said the company charged between $6,345 and $9,010 for its 2020 “Ambassadors of Music” tour. COVID-19 forced the company to cancel the trip but Ellison said the company refused to issue full refunds and kept $1,900 in cancellation fees from each student. Ellison’s office launched an investigation, prompting the settlement.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister says the country’s retail sector might begin to gradually reopen next week, if the scientists advising the government on the coronavirus pandemic recommend it is safe to do so. Speaking in Parliament Friday during a debate on the government’s handling of the pandemic, Kyriakos Mitsotakis also said fines for violating measures imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus will increase to 500 euros, from the current 300 euros. Lockdown restrictions were imposed nationwide in Greece in early November to tackle a surge in coronavirus infections, shutting down restaurants, bars, cafes, retail stores, schools, entertainment venues and anything not considered an essential business.

Lockdown restrictions were imposed nationwide in Greece in early November to tackle a surge in coronavirus infections, shutting down restaurants, bars, cafes, retail stores, schools, entertainment venues and anything not considered an essential business.",

Some Orthodox Christians ignore COVID warnings on Epiphany

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Thousands of Orthodox Christian worshippers in Bulgaria ignored warnings by health authorities to abstain from mass gatherings and instead kept to their centuries-old Epiphany traditions. Young men plunged into the icy waters of rivers and lakes across Bulgaria to retrieve crucifixes tossed by priests in ceremonies commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ. The person who retrieves the wooden cross will allegedly be freed from evil spirits and will be healthy the whole next year. In the city of Kalofer in central Bulgaria, dozens of men dressed in traditional white embroidered shirts waded into the cold Tundzha River singing folk songs then danced on the riverbed. The mayor of Kalofer did not enter the river this year to show that coronavirus regulations should be followed.

BOSTON (AP) — Authorities say a Massachusetts-based political scientist and author has been charged with secretly working for the government of Iran while lobbying U.S. government officials. Officials said Kaveh Lotfolah Afrasiabi was arrested by FBI agents at his home in Watertown, Massachusetts, on Monday. He is charged in New York City federal court with acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of Iran. Afrasiabi is an Iranian citizen and a lawful permanent resident of the United States. He was expected to appear in court later Tuesday. An email seeking comment was sent to his attorney.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Afghan negotiators are to resume talks with the Taliban on a peace deal for their shattered nation amid waning hopes, frustration over a spike in violence and finger-pointing from all sides. The stop-and-go talks also come amid growing doubt over a U.S.-Taliban peace deal brokered by outgoing President Donald Trump. Expectations are low in the new round that’s to start Tuesday as both the government and the Taliban wait to see what the incoming Biden administration’s stance will be. Distrust runs deep and the two sides are still working out how to tackle a daunting agenda that includes power-sharing, cease-fire, disarming armed groups and how to preserve civil rights.

A snowy night leads to brighter Sunday
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Saturday morning was the coldest we've had so far this winter in Eau Claire, with a low of -4. The only other sub-zero low we've had this winter was on December 29, when we hit -2. The coldest air this morning was located from central Wisconsin through the Eau Claire area. Temperatures in the single digits below zero were reported as far west as Menomonie, but other areas north of Eau Claire were in the single digits above zero this morning.
As we head into Saturday evening, the focus shifts to incoming snow. Snow will begin from west to east across Wisconsin this evening. While snow started to show up on radar late Saturday afternoon, it has taken some time for the atmosphere to become saturated enough for snow to make it to the ground. Areas west of the 53 corridor should see snow making it to the ground by 6 p.m. or so, with areas farther west seeing snow develop a little later.
Fortunately, wind is not expected to be a big concern with this system, and most of the accumulation and travel impacts will happen late Saturday evening into the early hours of Sunday morning.
Most of us can expect to see between 2" and 5" of fluffy snow, although an isolated total up to 6" is possible here or there, mainly south of Eau Claire. The highest totals with this system are anticipated south of Eau Claire, meanwhile areas to the north have the best chance of being on the lower end of the totals range, especially north of Highway 8.
Any lingering flurries will end Sunday morning, as clouds clear. We should actually end up with a fairly nice afternoon Sunday, with some sun and temperatures in the 20s.
Temperatures as we head into early Monday will be highly dependent on cloud cover, but if we manage to stay clear, it could be another chilly night.
We can expect seasonable temperatures in the 20s for the first half of the upcoming week, meanwhile the second half is trending a bit warmer in the 30s.

3 teens arrested in house fire that killed 5 from Senegal

DENVER (AP) — Police say three teenagers have been arrested in connection with a house fire in Denver that killed five recent immigrants, including two children, from the West African nation of Senegal. Police Chief Paul Pazen said Wednesday the two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old were being held for investigation of first-degree murder, burglary, assault and arson. He said the evidence doesn’t indicate the crime was bias-motivated and noted that police can’t release many details about what happened because the suspects are minors. A $50,000 reward had been offered for information leading to the arrests of those responsible for the Aug. 5 blaze.

Another Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for all of Western Wisconsin through Tuesday morning
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
UPDATE: The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory until 10am Tuesday. Moisture from Monday's mix/snow has been picked up by a very light but quite calm wind and formed fog once again.
It seems to be patchy and varies from location to location as well as with time. Be prepared for changing visibility through Tuesday's morning commute. Use low beam headlights and fog lights if your car has them. Remember, that cars with automatic headlights will not automatically turn on in fog, so you'll have to override the auto mode to turn lights on.
We've dealt with visibility issues from fog and snow for much of the past few days, but this is about to come to an end as a warm front that was also responsible for today's precipitation has drier air behind it. Visibility is much better this evening with many places still reading 10+ miles, which is the highest the automated sensors will report.
The Chippewa Valley saw some wintry mix and snow through the middle of the day. In Eau Claire, it started as a mix before quickly changing over to all snow. It was enough to coat roads and sidewalks in snow and make things a little slick.
The official snow measurement for Eau Claire taken by Stormtracker 18 Meteorologists in partnership with NWS Twin Cities was 0.3". The highest snow report we've received as of late afternoon was one inch by WQOW Weather Tracker Dave in Chetek. Other reports generally show a trace to a half inch.
Eau Claire is a little bit behind average for the year, with the most important number on the snow analysis graphic being the winter to date line. Since it's still early in January, there will be time to make up that deficit. Climate data simply takes the monthly average and divides it evenly among the days of the month even though it tends to fall in larger chunks than the daily snow "normal". For the winter to date, Eau Claire is four inches below average.
In addition, temps were able to warm into the low to mid 30s with even some spots close to 40 to our west in Minnesota. With the fresh layer of snow/moisture on the ground tonight, even the forecast very light wind of 4 to 9 mph is enough to pick up some of that moisture and once again form some patchy fog, but it won't likely be as think as it was the past few nights.
We'll be between a partly and mostly cloudy sky for most of the week even though temps will be warming. Expect highs in the low to mid 30s with spots that get a bit closer to a partly cloudy sky perhaps pushing into the upper 30s through Thursday. Another weak low pressure system approaches us for Wednesday, but the drier air in the lower levels of the atmosphere beneath our clouds will prevent most, if not all, snow from falling in the Chippewa Valley.
After that very slight chance, our next chance won't arrive until the weekend. That, too, brings just a slight chance for snow as temperatures will remain above average through next weekend.

Nissan recalls 354K Pathfinder SUVs for brake light problem
| null | null |

DETROIT (AP) — Nissan is recalling over 354,000 Pathfinder SUVs worldwide because the brake lights can stay on all the time. It’s the second recall for the same problem. The recall covers certain Pathfinders from the 2013 through 2015 model years. The automaker says a stop lamp relay can get stuck in the on position. The problem can limit engine power and let drivers shift out of park or start the engine without a foot on the brake pedal. Dealers will inspect the switch and reposition it if necessary starting in March. They’ll also replace a relay. The 2013 and 2014 models were recalled in 2016. The latest recall has a new repair and adds the 2015 model year.

LA, Congress take divergent paths after COVID test warning
| null | null |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The nation’s second-largest city said it will keep using a coronavirus test that federal regulators warned may produce false results while Congress, which has used the same test, is seeking an alternative. The different responses Thursday followed a Food and Drug Administration alert to patients and health care providers that Curative’s test could particularly produce false negatives. Those faulty results pose the biggest risk from a health perspective because people who are erroneously told they don’t have the virus can unknowingly spread it to those around them. The California-based company said it was working to address the FDA’s concerns.

City of Bloomer water has high lead levels even after replacing pipes
| null | null |
wqow.com

BLOOMER (WQOW) - The city of Bloomer is warning residents that their water may have high levels of lead in it.
According to samples taken by the city in the fall, the levels of lead may not be safe.
According to the CDC, a safe amount of lead in water is from zero to 15 micrograms per liter. Some samples of Bloomer water showed 20 micrograms of lead per liter which is over the safe limit.
Those numbers mean the city needs to take further action and they are currently working with the DNR to address the issue.
City officials say in the fall of they removed all known lead pipes remaining in the water system but that happened before this latest sampling.
Residents who use city water will be getting an educational pamphlet in their January utility bill.

"BLOOMER (WQOW) - The city of Bloomer is warning residents that their water may have high levels of lead in it.\nAccording to samples taken by the city in the fall, the levels of lead may not be safe.\nAccording to the CDC, a safe amount of lead in water is from zero to 15 micrograms per liter. Some samples of Bloomer water showed 20 micrograms of lead per liter which is over the safe limit.\nThose numbers mean the city needs to take further action and they are currently working with the DNR to address the issue.\nCity officials say in the fall of they removed all known lead pipes remaining in the water system but that happened before this latest sampling.\nResidents who use city water will be getting an educational pamphlet in their January utility bill.",

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A broad ban on single-use containers, forks, straws and other ubiquitous items takes effect in Mexico’s capital, one of the world’s largest cities, after more than a year of preparation. On Friday, Mexico City’s environmental secretary said via Twitter that “from today on Mexico City without single-use plastics.” The message urged people to think of always carrying reusable containers like never leaving home without their cell phones. Mexico City lawmakers passed the ban on plastic bags, utensils and other disposable plastic items in 2019. The city of 9 million people has spent the past year adjusting or in some cases ignoring the impending law change.

NFL scrambles to keep charitable Super Bowl events in Tampa

Befitting the championship game of the nation’s most popular sport, the Super Bowl is about more than football. Who wins the NFL championship is what fans remember most. For hundreds, maybe thousands of others, the legacy of the Super Bowl stretches far beyond the field. During the pandemic, staging the league’s annual charitable and community efforts before and during its final game has called for some scrambling. The NFL is determined that those initiatives remain impactful in the Tampa Bay area.

CHIPPEWA FALLS (WQOW) - Chippewa Falls students got a chance to embrace and learn more about the diversity of our community Friday. Dr. Oludayo Sarumi shared her experience overcoming obstacles as a Black woman and physician, as part of Power of Perception's virtual sessions.
Dr. Sarumi was born in New York but grew up in Nigeria, and came back to the U.S. at 15 to begin college. She said her whole life she wanted to be a pediatrician, which is what she's now been doing for 14 years in the Chippewa Valley.
She said this last year has made her much more aware of being Black in America and made her think about how the world she grew up in is different than that of her sons.
"I realize they are growing up differently than I did," Sarumi said. "Especially being in Eau Claire, there are less people that look like them and when we have family gatherings here we are usually the only black ones there but they've never felt like they're not family."
She told students she had no Plan B if becoming a doctor didn't work out, and that level of focus on her goal is what helped her to achieve it.
Power of Perception founder Dennis Beale said he wanted to have Dr. Sarumi speak in this Q&A in hopes her story can inspire youth to reach higher goals.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — PBS’ “Masterpiece” marks its 50th anniversary Sunday. The drama and mystery showcase could rest on its reputation built with acclaimed programs including “I, Claudius” and “Elizabeth R” and polished anew by surprising pop-culture hits “Sherlock” and “Downton Abbey.” But “Masterpiece” executive producer Susanne Simpson says it’s positioned to thrive as it addresses the challenges posed by a changing media industry and increased calls for diversity. Streaming services and other outlets are gobbling up the British-made dramas that are a “Masterpiece” staple, forcing the showcase to become more aggressive in the marketplace. The new season of “Masterpiece” begins Sunday with a reboot of “All Creatures Great and Small.”

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Stray cats in Taiwan’s capital have recently received an upgrade in their dining situation with a “Midnight Cafeteria.” About 45 small, brightly painted wooden houses around Taipei help ensure stray cats get fed and that local residents don’t have to deal with a mess. It’s also a way to spread the word about street cats and spaying programs in the city. Volunteer Hung Pei-ling and several of her neighbors have been taking care of strays for years. She said: “You can just be one person doing something a little bit at a time, a little bit, and taken all together, you can achieve a lot.”

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is announcing a restoration of relations with the Palestinians and a renewal of aid to Palestinian refugees. The announcement by acting U.S. ambassador Richard Mills is a reversal of the Trump administration’s cutoff of aid to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. Mills told the U.N. Security Council this reengagement with the Palestinians is key to the Biden administration’s support for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict agreed to by Israelis and Palestinians. He said Biden hopes to start working slowly to build confidence on both sides toward Israeli-Palestinian peace.

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. Two bodies have been recovered but searchers are looking for eight more people believed to be missing. Ground search teams are being aided by helicopters and drones with heat-detecting cameras amid harsh winter conditions on the ravaged hillside in the village of Ask, some 25 kilometers (16 miles) northeast of Oslo. Norwegian police pledged not to scale down the search even though a rescue team from neighboring Sweden has already returned home.

GOP tested anew by Georgia congresswoman's Facebook activity

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have a Marjorie Taylor Greene problem — again. Before she joined Congress this month, Greene supported Facebook posts that advocated violence against leading Democrats and the FBI. While some Republicans are now condemning the activity, it’s hardly a surprise. Facebook posts surfaced last year showing she’d expressed racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views. Top Republicans denounced her at the time. But the opposition faded when she won a seat in Congress. The GOP has largely embraced Greene lately, making it harder to distance from her now, especially when many of her views were already well known.

DOHUK, Iraq (AP) — Piles of plush carpets line the floors of a shopping center in northern Iraq hosting traders from neighboring Iran. They hope the spangle of their ornate handicrafts might offer a lifeline out of poverty. In their own country, the economy is in tatters amid crippling sanctions. At least 24 businesses from 15 Iranian cities set up shop this week in the city of Dohuk in the Kurdish-run northern region of Iraq. From Sanandaj to Bijar, they brought luxurious carpets. From Isfahan, Yazd and Hamadan, precious gems, copper and pottery.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Authorities say they have determined the location of the crash site and black boxes of a Boeing 737-500, a day after the aircraft crashed into the Java Sea with 62 people on board shortly after taking off from Indonesia’s capital. The head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency said officials believe they identified the location of the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder — the so-called black boxes — because emergency signals transmitted by the devices were captured by a navy ship’s sonar system. Earlier Sunday, search and rescue operations resulted in parts of the plane being found in the sea at a depth of 75 feet, leading rescuers to continue searching the area.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California desperately needs more medical workers at facilities swamped by coronavirus patients, but almost no help is coming from a volunteer program that Gov. Gavin Newsom created at the start of the pandemic. An army of 95,000 initially raised their hands, and just 14 are now working in the field. Newsom says the program “has been incredibly effective.” But very few volunteers actually met qualifications for the California Health Corps, and only a tiny sliver have the high-level experience needed to help with the most serious virus cases. Other states have had similar difficulties making volunteer programs work. A researcher says many eligible volunteers may have found other jobs before the latest coronavirus surge.

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — A man accused of stabbing his pregnant girlfriend and killing her 3-year-old daughter has pleaded no contest to charges in Outagamie County. In an agreement with prosecutors, 26-year-old Demetrius Williams entered the plea Tuesday to fatally stabbing Zyana Corbin last February in Appleton and attempting to kill her mother, Tiana Corbin, who was pregnant with his child. The unborn baby was not harmed. But, Tiana Corbin, suffered stab wounds to her chest, abdomen, face and neck. Charges of attempted homicide of an unborn child and attempted escape were dismissed as part of the plea deal. Williams made a failed attempt to escape from the Outagamie County Jail with another inmate last June.

NEW YORK (AP) — Screenwriter Walter Bernstein has died. He was 101. Bernstein was one of the last victims of Hollywood’s anti-Communist blacklist and for years could only find work by hiring “fronts,” people willing to let him use their names for his scripts. In the 1970s, he would draw upon his experiences and receive an Oscar nomination for writing “The Front,” starring Woody Allen. His other writing credits included the Burt Reynolds football comedy “Semi-Tough” and films by such old friends as Martin Ritt and Sidney Lumet. He was also a longtime adviser to Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute.

MUTARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — In response to rising COVID-19 numbers, Zimbabwe has reintroduced a night curfew, banned public gatherings, and indefinitely suspended the opening of schools. Funerals are now limited to 30 people while other gatherings such as weddings and church services are banned for 30 days. Restaurants and beer taverns have also been closed. The government has postponed indefinitely the opening of schools for a new term that was supposed to start on Monday, Jan. 4. But the new measures seem to have done little to reduce the country’s general atmosphere of complacency.

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadera has won a second term in office, according to provisional results from the country’s electoral commission. The National Election Authority said Monday that Touadera was reelected in the first round of the presidential vote on Dec. 27 with 53.9% of the votes. Authorities said that Touadera won an absolute majority. Anicet-Georges Dologuele came in second with 21.1% of the vote, and Martin Ziguele came in third with 7.4%, according to the results announced. The vote, and its aftermath, have been marked by violence and the formation of a rebel coalition, amid calls from the opposition to delay the vote. The results must now be officially validated by the Constitutional Court, which will field appeals.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer might have to start his eighth season by hiring yet another offensive coordinator. Gary Kubiak is strongly considering retirement. Zimmer says he’s letting Kubiak take some time to ponder his future. The 59-year-old Kubiak cut off both of his opportunities as a head coach with Houston and Denver because of health issues. The Vikings were fourth in the NFL in yards and 11th in points this season. Kubiak was the fifth play-caller in seven years under Zimmer.

MERCED, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in central California are searching for six inmates who used a “homemade rope” to escape from a county jail. The Merced County Sheriff’s Office says all six should be considered armed and dangerous. Staff at Merced County Downtown Jail noticed late Saturday that the six inmates were missing. Officials say a preliminary investigation has determined that the inmates were able to gain access to the roof of the facility and from there used the rope to scale down the side of the jail. Anyone who spots the fugitives is asked not to approach them and immediately call 911.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — Honduran migrants began walking toward the Guatemalan border before dawn, driven by deepening poverty and the hope of a warmer reception if they can reach the United States border. They quickly dispersed along the heavily-trafficked highway to the border town of Agua Caliente on Friday, but estimates of their number ranged from 2,000 to more than twice that. Around 4 a.m., young men and entire families carrying sleeping children set out. Some quickly caught rides while others walked along the highway escorted by police. The migrants leave with little certainty about how far they will make it. Regional governments appeared more united than ever in stopping their progress.

TOWN OF WASHINGTON (WQOW) - A new housing development might be coming to the Lowes Creek neighborhood of the Town of Washington in coming years, and while there is a need for more housing in Eau Claire County, some neighbors are concerned.
The development, Orchard Hills, is the vision of C&E Wurzer Builders. It would include 116 homes across 235 acres, with the lots ranging from one to five acres in size. C&E owner, Craig Wurzer, said keeping the lots that size is important to keeping the overall cost of the property low for potential buyers. He also said the acres not used for residential land will be for community use and environmental conservation.
"We truly believe that we are doing everything we can to provide housing, but also make sure that we did think about all of the details that could effect the neighbors and the township and I think this is a very good happy medium," Wurzer said.
However, some neighbors believe that happy medium has not been struck, citing concerns of an increase in traffic to the neighborhood's rural roads.
One of those residents that's concerned is Casey Johnson, who said the beauty of the Town of Washington is that the area is rural while being within miles of town. He is worried this proposal's high density of homes and subsequently added traffic would take the charm away.
Johnson is not the only neighbor who feels this way. In fact, the neighborhood association has created a petition which is up to 160 signatures, with the intention to stop Orchard Hills from being re-zoned into more homes.
He said the neighborhood isn't opposed to development but believes any future changes should reflect the rural charm that comes with living in Washington.
"I mean, we understand that things are going to get developed. I think that we want to develop it reasonably or responsibly to kind of keep what Washington township means as far as the rural settings," Johnson said.
On Tuesday, the Eau Claire County board of supervisors will vote on whether or not to re-zone the land to allow the building of homes. Then on Thursday, the Town of Washington will also vote on whether or not to re-zone the land.

Utah man pleads guilty in Yellowstone dig seeking treasure

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A Utah man has pleaded guilty after authorities said he was caught digging in a Yellowstone National Park cemetery in search of hidden treasure. Federal prosecutors say 52-year-old Rodrick Dow Craythorn of Syracuse, Utah, entered the plea Monday. Craythorn could face up to 12 years in prison and $270,000 in fines when sentenced. An attorney for Craythorn didn’t immediately return a phone message Tuesday seeking comment. Craythorn was seeking a treasure chest hidden by art and antiquities dealer Forrest Fenn. Prosecutors say Craythorn caused more than $1,000 in damage by digging in Fort Yellowstone Cemetery in late 2019 and early 2020. A Michigan man found the treasure in June.

An attorney for Craythorn didn’t immediately return a phone message Tuesday seeking comment. Craythorn was seeking a treasure chest hidden by art and antiquities dealer Forrest Fenn. Prosecutors say Craythorn caused more than $1,000 in damage by digging in Fort Yellowstone Cemetery in late 2019 and early 2020. A Michigan man found the treasure in June.",

SYDNEY (AP) — More Australian states and territories are imposing travel restrictions to prevent the coronavirus spreading from new outbreaks in New South Wales and Victoria states. The Australian Capital Territory has shut out non-residents who have been in the northern beaches of Sydney, where the outbreaks are most concentrated, Greater Sydney and other smaller centers, unless they have an exemption. The island state of Tasmania has barred anyone directly linked to the latest Victorian cases, listing exposure sites where confirmed cases are known to have been. In China more than 4.4 million people have been tested in the northeastern city of Shenyang after the discovery of a new cluster. So far, only one case has been confirmed from the testing. China reported a total of eight cases.

As a student in college and seminary, then as a pastor in Texas, Dwight McKissic has been affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention for more than 45 years. Now he’s pondering whether he and his congregation should break away — following in the footsteps of several other Black pastors who exited in dismay over race-related actions of some white SBC leaders. A crucial moment could come in June at the SBC’s national meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. McKissic says he’s ready to leave the white-dominated denomination if delegates rebuff views shared by many Black SBC pastors related to systemic racism in the U.S.

VIENNA (AP) — Hundreds of Holocaust survivors in Austria and Slovakia were poised to get their first coronavirus vaccinations. The shots Wednesday acknowledge their past suffering with a special tribute 76 years after the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, where the Nazis killed more than 1 million Jews and others. Erika Jakubovits, the Jewish Community of Vienna organizer of the vaccination drive, says “We owe this to them.” More than 400 Austrian survivors, most in their 80s or 90s were expected get their first coronavirus shot at Vienna’s largest vaccination site set up in the Austrian capital’s convention center.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

A federal magistrate judge in Arkansas set a $5,000 bond for Richard Barnett and confined him to his home in Gravette, Arkansas, with a GPS monitor to track his location. She also prohibited him from using the internet or having contact with anyone else who participated in last week’s riot by supporters of President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors indicated the government will appeal. Barnett is set to be released Saturday.

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 Indonesia seas. The Boeing 737-500 jet disappeared during heavy rain on Saturday. The search so far has yielded plane parts and human remains but no sign of survivors. Divers are looking for the cockpit voice and flight data recorders in seabed mud where signals from the black boxes have been detected. Investigators also have interviewed the air traffic controllers who were in charge of the plane at the time of the crash. Indonesian officials say the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board will be joining their investigation.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New York’s governor has done an about-face and now embraces mobile sports betting as a way to deal with financial losses stemming from the coronavirus pandemic. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement came as a company that tracks gambling legislation and performance predicted that revenue from legal sports betting could reach $3.1 billion in 2021 and as much as $10 billion within five years. VIXIO GamblingCompliance projects that at least six and as many as 14 additional states will legalize or expand sports betting in 2021. That fits with projections by numerous analysts that nearly half the country may have legalized sports betting by the end of this year.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A state board has suspended the license of a Wisconsin pharmacist accused of ruining more than 500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine because he thought it was unsafe. Steven Brandenburg was working at Advocate Aurora Health in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, when he was arrested last month. The arrested followed an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine. He has not been criminally charged. The Wisconsin Pharmacy Examining Board said Wednesday that Brandenburg cannot practice pharmacy while suspended. The board’s order says Brandenburg agreed to the suspension “in order to focus” on possible charges against him.

BEIJING (AP) — The U.S.-Chinese trade war isn’t going away under President Joe Biden. Biden won’t confront Beijing right away, economists say, because he needs to focus on the coronavirus and the economy. However, Biden looks set to renew pressure over trade and technology complaints that prompted President Donald Trump to hike tariffs on Chinese imports in 2017. Negotiators might tone down Trump’s focus on the trade balance and push harder for changes to open China’s state-dominated economy, say economists. But no abrupt tariff cuts or other big changes are expected.

New York’s governor is threatening to fine hospitals that don’t use their allotment of COVID-19 vaccine fast enough. His counterpart in South Carolina says hospitals and health care workers have until Jan. 15 to get a shot or move to the back of the line. California’s governor wants to use dentists to dispense shots. With frustration rising over the slow rollout of the vaccine, state leaders and other politicians are turning up the pressure, improvising and seeking to bend the rules to get shots in arms more quickly.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House press secretary says President Joe Biden has confidence in FBI Director Chris Wray and plans to keep him in the job. FBI directors are given 10-year terms, meaning leadership of the bureau is generally unaffected by changes in presidential administrations. Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki was notably noncommittal when asked at her first briefing on Wednesday whether Biden had confidence in Wray. On Thursday, Psaki tweeted that she had caused an “unintentional ripple” and wanted to make clear that Wray has the confidence of Biden and will keep his job. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are under scrutiny about their preparations before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jamal Murray scored a season-high 36 points, Nikola Jokic had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-109 on Sunday night. Murray kept Denver afloat while Jokic dealt with early foul trouble for the second straight game. Murray scored 26 points in the first half, including 16 in the second quarter. Jokic then helped the Nuggets overcome a Minnesota lead at the start of the fourth to pull away and snap a two-game losing skid.

"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jamal Murray scored a season-high 36 points, Nikola Jokic had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-109 on Sunday night. Murray kept Denver afloat while Jokic dealt with early foul trouble for the second straight game. Murray scored 26 points in the first half, including 16 in the second quarter. Jokic then helped the Nuggets overcome a Minnesota lead at the start of the fourth to pull away and snap a two-game losing skid. Malik Beasley, the former Denver draft pick traded to the Timberwolves last season, scored a season-high 25 for Minnesota. The teams will complete home-and home set Tuesday night in Denver.",
