Traditional school stores might offer snacks and knickknacks, school gear and notebooks — but the one at Linda Tutt High School in Sanger, Texas, has a very different inventory and clientele. At Linda Tutt, you can get everything from produce, milk and eggs to pasta, peanut butter and canned goods to dishwasher soap and laundry detergent. Students and staff can shop there, but on Tuesdays, the store is open to the community. And it’s all free. The idea is to provide students with job skills, and at the same time help students, staff and community residents who are in need.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga says he is determined to host the postponed Tokyo Olympics this summer, despite growing uncertainty as coronavirus cases rise at home. Suga, speaking at a virtual meeting of the World Economic Forum, says the Olympics would be a symbol of human victory over the pandemic. He pledged to get infections under control in Japan as soon as possible and achieve a “safe and secure” Olympics. Olympic officials have repeatedly said the games will be held in July as planned after a one-year postponement, though various scenarios including the holding of events without spectators are being considered.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders’ campaign says she has raised more than $1 million in the first four days of her candidacy for Arkansas governor. Sanders’ campaign announced the fundraising figure on Thursday. On Monday, she announced she was running for governor with a nearly eight-minute video that embraced former President Donald Trump even as he faces an impeachment charge in the Senate. Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin has raised $1.8 million for the race since March, while Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has raised $1 million. Sanders is the daughter of former Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Kentucky governor allows 'born-alive' bill to become law

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A bill meant to preserve lives of newborns, including any infant born after a failed abortion, has become law in Kentucky. Gov. Andy Beshear allowed the measure to become law without his signature. Sen. Whitney Westerfield said Friday that he’s grateful Beshear didn’t veto the measure but was disappointed the governor chose not to sign it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky said it was “incredibly disappointed” the governor didn’t stop the measure from becoming law. Under the bill, a doctor performing an abortion must take what it deemd “all medically appropriate and reasonable steps” to preserve the life of a born-alive infant.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling President Donald Trump a failed leader who “will go down in history as the worst president ever.” In a video posted on social media on Sunday, the Republican took solace that Trump’s presidency was coming to an end and “would soon be as irrelevant as an old tweet.” He called for national unity and vowed his support for President-elect Joe Biden. Schwarzenegger, best known for his movie role as the Terminator, was elected governor in 2003 of the country’s most populous state. During the video, Schwarzenegger likened American democracy to the sword he brandished in his movies.

DETROIT (AP) — A judge has cut 18 months off a 5 1/2-year prison sentence for a former Fiat Chrysler executive who looted a training center for auto workers. Al Iacobelli’s sentence reduction was a reward for cooperation in an investigation of corruption at the United Auto Workers. Iacobelli was the head of labor relations at Fiat Chrysler. Iacobelli admitted to showering more than $1.5 million in cash and gifts on high-ranking members of the union to gain an advantage during negotiations, including a $262,000 mortgage payoff. The government’s investigation began at the training center but stretched to other corrupt acts at the UAW. Eleven officials have been convicted, including two former presidents.

Expert: How to reach your financial goals in 2021

DULUTH, Minn. (KBJR)- It was a challenging 12 months for most, but with a new year comes new opportunities like; being smarter with your money.
Brian Resch, a financial adviser, said there are multiple ways to get your finances on the right track in 2021 and they all start with patience.
"We see year after year people set resolutions, they're on the bandwagon for a couple of weeks and then they fall off," Resch said.
Budgeting is also key.
"It really helps to avoid impulse buys."
Resch adds after getting into that mindset start by setting small goals.
"There is a lot of opportunities to make a big impact with even small adjustments if you stick to it."
If you are drowning in credit card debt Resh suggests looking into possibly transferring debt into a new credit card.
"You might be able to get a low interest or no interest credit card that you can transfer that balance to and make a point to pay it off before the end of that time period runs out."
For those wanting to save for long-term retirement goals, Reschs suggests making contributions to an IRA or Roth IRAs.
"Roth IRAs are a little bit more flexible in that you can get your principle the amount you contributed back out under certain circumstances prior to retirement age."
Resch adds with a traditional IRA there could be barriers and penalties for taking money out.
Having a financial nest egg can also help you in the long run and set you up for success in the new year.
"Having an emergency fund, you can access in time of debt is absolutely critical for financial security," Resch said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic momentum for a fresh drive to quickly impeach outgoing President Donald Trump is gaining support. That comes as a top Republican says he thinks Trump’s role in encouraging a deadly riot at the Capitol is an “impeachable offense.” Democratic House member David Cicciline of Rhode Island is a leader of the effort to draft articles of impeachment against Trump. Cicciline says a proposal that could be introduced on Monday now has 185 co-sponsors. At the same time, Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania says Trump committed “impeachable offenses.” But Toomey stopped short of saying he would vote to remove Trump from office.

Syracuse's Dolezaj finishes game after chipping tooth

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Syracuse senior forward Marek Dolezaj doesn’t pack a lot of muscle on his 6-foot-10, but he’s tough as nails. The only player on the Orange who willingly — and repeatedly — takes the hardest of charges, Dolezaj added another memorable moment to the Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry. Most of one of his front teeth was knocked out by an errant elbow in the final minute, which bloodied his mouth. But he played on and helped Syracuse to an important 74-69 victory over one of its fiercest rivals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says Hall of Fame golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player along with the late Babe Didrikson Zaharias have been presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The award is one of the nation’s highest civilian honors. President Donald Trump has generally held public ceremonies when presenting this honor, but Thursday’s event was closed to the media. The president had no public events listed on his schedule following the previous day’s mayhem at the Capitol where pro-Trump supporters stormed the building, forcing it into lockdown. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany released a statement on the awards.

More construction on Riverview Dr., Lake St. planned for 2021

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - With the new year underway, City of Eau Claire officials are putting together plans for road construction projects throughout 2021.
Officials say major project preparations will get underway this year, one of the most noteworthy on Riverview Drive, west of Airport Road on Eau Claire's north side. The project will add sidewalks and provide safer pedestrian access along the roads, as well as other utility construction.
Keith Street behind Memorial High School will also see construction, as well as Lake Street near Fifth Avenue which will both likely begin in the summer to avoid traffic conflicts at nearby schools.
Officials say the projects are necessary for the safety of the community and to make much needed upgrades to roads and some utilities that are a century old.
"We're trying to improve the street in the long run, there are deficiencies we're trying to address," said Leah Ness, deputy city engineer for the City of Eau Claire. "It may be an inconvenience for a short time frame, but for the next 10 to 25 years, it should serve the needs of the neighborhood."
Ness says much of Riverview Drive will remain closed during the project, and some other projects will cause detours and traffic delays. While timeframes haven't been determined yet for many of them, the projects are included in the city's 2021 Capital Improvement Project, and city officials will continue developing designs and begin public outreach for them after the City Council's work session on January 12.
Below is a list of other road construction projects planned for 2021:
Mill and Overlay Projects (Mill & Fill)
Abbe Hill Drive, STH 312 to Eddy Lane
Birch Street, Mt. Nemo Avenue to Galloway Street
Galloway Street, North Hastings Place to Birch Street
Some of the reconstruction projects that will involve more public outreach are:
Garfield Avenue, Park Avenue to State Street
Keith Street, Clairemont Avenue to Brackett Avenue
Riverview Drive, North Boat Launch to 2,700 ft. west of Airport Road
Lake Street near Fifth Avenue
Carryover projects delayed from 2020 include:
Eddy Lane and Melby St.
Construction on the Dewey St. bridge over the Eau Claire River
Several alleys will also undergo construction near the following streets:

BIHAC, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Trying to resolve a humanitarian disaster, the Bosnian military is setting up tents for hundreds of migrants who have been stuck at a burnt-out refugee camp that has no facilities to fend off freezing winter weather. Bosnia has faced strong international criticism for not finding a solution for some 1,000 migrants who were left without useable shelter after fire engulfed the Lipa camp near the border with Croatia over a week ago. The army on Friday said 150 soldiers had arrived to put up the tents, which will be run by the International Organization for Migration. Earlier, the migrants held a protest to highlight the horrendous conditions they are facing in the impoverished Balkan nation.

Loeffler, Perdue run hard-line pitch in swing state Georgia

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are appealing to the most conservative factions of a diversifying Georgia electorate as they try to win Tuesday runoffs that will determine control of the U.S. Senate. Perdue’s and Loeffler’s unceasing embrace of President Donald Trump and their caricatures of their Democratic challengers may not seem like the right approach in a state that opted narrowly for President-elect Joe Biden in November after years of steady Democratic gains. The strategy, though, reflects the realities of the Trump era: Republicans’ path to victory starts with a GOP base motivated by allegiance to the president and fear of Democrats.

The EU’s executive arm aims for 70% of the adult population across the bloc vaccinated by the end of the summer.
Since the EU doesn’t expect vaccines to be readily available before April, leaders should in the meantime find efficient ways to contain the new variants. The commission believes better tracking of the mutations with genomic sequencing, coupled with an increased use of rapid antigen tests, will be crucial.
___
NEW YORK — More potential COVID-19 vaccines to fight the pandemic still are being tested, and some researchers are driving mobile labs into neighborhoods to recruit diverse volunteers.
With scarce supplies of the Pfizer and Moderna shots, proving whether additional vaccines work is critical. So is ensuring they’re tested in communities of color that are hard-hit by the coronavirus yet have questions about vaccination.

DHAKA, Bangladesh — India sent 2 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine to Bangladesh, a gift likely to foster bilateral relations further between the two South Asian neighbors.
Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen and Health Minister Zahid Maleque received the consignment from Indian High Commissioner to Dhaka Vikram Doraiswami in Bangladesh’s capital.
The AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine, manufactured under license by Serum Institute of India, will be given to frontline workers, including doctors and nurses. The government says the inoculations are expected to start early next month.
Momen praised India for the gesture, saying, ‘This proves the true friendship between Bangladesh and India.”

GENEVA — President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, says the United States will cease reducing U.S. staff counts at the World Health Organization and pay its financial obligations.
Fauci says the U.S. will become fully engaged with the U.N. health agency to help fight the coronavirus pandemic.
“I am honored to announce that the United States will remain a member of the World Health Organization,” Fauci told the WHO’s executive board meeting in Geneva via videoconference. The administration announced just hours after Biden’s inauguration that the United States would revoke a planned pullout from the WHO in July that had been announced by the Trump administration.
Fauci’s quick commitment to WHO — whose response to the coronavirus outbreak was repeatedly berated by the Trump administration — marks a dramatic and vocal shift toward a multilateral approach to fighting the pandemic.
He also referred to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general, as “my dear friend.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey is scheduled to receive between 25 and 30 million more doses, although there has been no word on when the additional doses will arrive.\nTurkey has reported close to 2.4 million infections and more than 24,000 confirmed deaths since March.\n___\nDHAKA, Bangladesh — India sent 2 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine to Bangladesh, a gift likely to foster bilateral relations further between the two South Asian neighbors.\nBangladesh’s Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen and Health Minister Zahid Maleque received the consignment from Indian High Commissioner to Dhaka Vikram Doraiswami in Bangladesh’s capital.\nThe AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine, manufactured under license by Serum Institute of India, will be given to frontline workers, including doctors and nurses. The government says the inoculations are expected to start early next month.\nMomen praised India for the gesture, saying, ‘This proves the true friendship between Bangladesh and India.”\nBangladesh usually balances diplomatically between two Asian powers — China and India — as both countries are close allies. Officials say Bangladesh is also expecting to have Chinese vaccines in the future.\n___\nGENEVA — President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, says the United States will cease reducing U.S. staff counts at the World Health Organization and pay its financial obligations.\nFauci says the U.S. will become fully engaged with the U.N. health agency to help fight the coronavirus pandemic.\n“I am honored to announce that the United States will remain a member of the World Health Organization,” Fauci told the WHO’s executive board meeting in Geneva via videoconference. The administration announced just hours after Biden’s inauguration that the United States would revoke a planned pullout from the WHO in July that had been announced by the Trump administration.\nFauci’s quick commitment to WHO — whose response to the coronavirus outbreak was repeatedly berated by the Trump administration — marks a dramatic and vocal shift toward a multilateral approach to fighting the pandemic.\nHe also referred to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general, as “my dear friend.”\n___",

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has told a private Italian broadcaster that he was “astonished” by the mob attack at the U.S. Capitol. The pope said in an interview that is to be broadcast by Mediaset on Sunday that “even in the most mature reality there is always something that doesn’t work, people who take a path against the community, against democracy and against the common good.” He said the mob’s violence “must be condemned.” Rioters seething over President Donald Trump’s election loss stormed the Capitol on Wednesday as Congress was finalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, believing Trump’s false claims of a rigged election. Five people died, including a police officer.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong police have arrested about 50 former lawmakers and activists in the largest move against the city’s pro-democracy movement since a national security law was imposed last June. A top official said the arrests targeted people suspected “of overthrowing, or interfering” with the Hong Kong government in executing its duties. They were accused of subverting state power by participating in unofficial election primaries for the territory’s legislature last year. All of the pro-democracy candidates who ran in those primaries appear to have been arrested. Security minister John Lee said police would not target Hong Kong people who voted in the unofficial primaries.

Siege of US Capitol by pro-Trump mob forces hard questions

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the day after, the violent siege of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters raised painful new questions across government. Discussions are underway about Trump’s fitness to remain in office for two more weeks, the ability of the police to secure the complex and the future of the Republican Party. The attack reinforced lawmakers’ resolve to stay up all night to finish counting the Electoral College vote, which confirmed Democrat Joe Biden won the presidential election. But the rampage is forcing a reckoning. One Republican lawmaker publicly joined Democrats in calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to force Trump out. Meanwhile, Trump promised an “orderly transition” on Jan. 20, when Biden is set to be inaugurated.

BEIJING (AP) — China says its military drills near Taiwan serve as a stern warning against foreign interference and independence moves in the self-governing island off its east coast. Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian made the remarks Wednesday in China’s first official comment on its flying of a dozen or more warplanes near Taiwan on two occasions last weekend. The U.S. responded to the first round of flights with a statement urging China “to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan.” The Chinese government regards Taiwan as a renegade province that should be united with mainland China.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Officials say Indian and Chinese soldiers brawled last week along the countries’ disputed border as a monthslong standoff between the nuclear-armed rivals continues. The clash in the Naku La area of Sikkim came four days before the countries held talks on ending tensions in another disputed border area in the remote Ladakh region. The Indian army described the clash at Naku La as “a minor face off” and said it “was resolved by local commanders as per established protocols.” India and China have been locked in a tense military stalemate since May in the western Himalayas and have mobilized soldiers along the fiercely contested border.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats are preparing to push ahead with President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told senators Tuesday to be ready to vote as soon as next week on a budget reconciliation package that would lay the groundwork for swift passage. The action provides a first test of Republican opposition to the White House priorities as well as to the new president’s promise of a “unity” agenda. It’s the first time in a decade that Democrats have controlled Washington, and the party says it has no time to waste trying to broker compromises with Republicans that may, or may not, happen.

France's go-slow coronavirus vaccination strategy backfires

PARIS (AP) — France’s cautious approach to its virus vaccine rollout appears to have backfired. Only about 500 people were vaccinated in the first week, rekindling anger over the government’s handling of the pandemic. President Emmanuel Macron is holding a special meeting with top government officials Monday to address the vaccine strategy and other virus developments. The slow rollout was blamed on mismanagement and staffing shortages during end-of-year vacations. It was also attributed to a complex consent policy designed to accommodate broad vaccine skepticism among the French public. Doctors and opposition politicians pleaded Monday for speedier access to vaccines.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African police are investigating a possible international gold smuggling syndicate after three suspects were arrested at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg with gold bars weighing 73.5 kilograms (162 pounds) in their carry-on luggage. The gold bullion, worth an estimated $4.1 million, looked suspicious when the three put their bags through a security check, according to the police. Police spokeswoman Col. Athlenda Mathe said that upon questioning of the suspects and further inspection of their hand luggage, officials discovered the gold bars and some foreign currency. The three Madagascar nationals were traveling from Madagascar to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates via South Africa and Ethiopia.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden is making his entrance in the nation’s capital, ready to assume power as the nation reels from the coronavirus pandemic and soaring unemployment. There’s also serious concern about whether more violence could be in the offing as he prepares to take the oath of office on Wednesday. Biden had planned to take a train into Washington on Tuesday ahead of Inauguration Day. But he scratched the plan amid security concerns after this month’s riot at the U.S. Capitol. Instead he’s flying into a military airbase just outside the capital and motorcading into a city that’s been flooded by some 25,000 National Guard troops.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Huge unknowns remain in the deadly conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. But details of the involvement of neighboring Eritrea, one of the world’s most secretive countries, are finally emerging from witness accounts. While fighting in support of Ethiopian forces, Eritrean soldiers have been accused of killing civilians, targeting refugees and even acting as local authorities. Now some worry they are refusing to leave. Ethiopia’s government has denied their presence, even as a senior military official has confirmed they are there. One witness who recently escaped Tigray described Eritrean soldiers looting everything from jewelry to diapers and going house-to-house seeking out and killing men and boys, some as young as 7.

BEIJING (AP) — China reports its economy grew 2.3% in 2020 as a recovery from the coronavirus pandemic accelerated while the United States, Europe and Japan struggled with disease outbreaks. Official data showed growth in the three months ending in December rose to 6.5% over a year earlier, up from the previous quarter’s 4.9%. Activity contracted by 6.8% in the first quarter in 2020 as factories and shops shut down to fight the virus. The following quarter, China became the first major country to grow again with a 3.2% expansion after the Communist Party declared victory over the virus in March and reopened the economy.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The Tunisian president has denied claims that he made anti-Semitic remarks this week while trying to calm youths after days of unrest. Kais Saied’s statement was in response to allegations by the Conference of European Rabbis that he accused Jews of being responsible for the instability of the country. “The president mentioned no religion and there was no reasonable motive to deal with the question of religion in the context of protests,” his office said in a statement. It said the president spoke with the chief rabbi of Tunisia to reassure him that Tunisian Jews enjoy “the solicitude and protection of the Tunisian state, like all other citizens.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A Russian hacker has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after admitting involvement in one of the biggest thefts of consumer data from a U.S. financial institution. Andrei Tyurin was sentenced Thursday in Manhattan federal court. He had pleaded guilty to computer intrusion, wire fraud, bank fraud and illegal online gambling offenses. Prosecutors say the former Moscow resident helped steal the personal data of more than 80 million customers from JP Morgan Chase alone. They say it was part of a massive hacking scheme that stole data from over 12 companies and more than 100 million U.S. business customers. In a letter to the judge, Tyurin said he believed he’d chosen the wrong path in life.

What started as a day of celebration for Black organizers, voters and other Georgians who helped deliver two historic Senate runoff victories was overshadowed Wednesday when a mostly white mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. But Black leaders and organizers say the rioters’ insurrection won’t deter the momentum achieved after the hard-fought victories of Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Instead, it serves as a harsh reminder of the work that lies ahead. There’s hope that the Georgia victories could serve as a blueprint to transform the Southern political landscape, which has always been characterized as being a Republican stronghold.

NEW YORK (AP) — Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman summoned images dire and triumphant Wednesday as she called out to the world “even as we grieved, we grew” in her poem “The Hill We Climb.” In language referencing Biblical scripture and at times echoing the oratory of John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the 22-year-old Gorman began by asking “Where can we find light/In this never-ending shade?” and used her own poetry and life story as an answer. The poem’s very title suggested both labor and transcendence. Gorman is the youngest by far of the poets who have read at presidential inaugurations.

Brady's NFC championship turned on 2 crucial calls
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Tampa Bay’s victory in the NFC championship was one for the aged.
Outdueling Aaron Rodgers set up the ageless Tom Brady (OK, he’s 43) to become the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl.
Bruce Arians, 68, earned a shot at becoming the oldest head coach ever to win a Super Bowl after he outcoached 40-year-old Matt LaFleur in the Bucs’ 31-26 victory at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
The Bucs’ victory over the Packers that sent them home to Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl 55 against defending champion Kansas City came down to two pivotal calls, one by each coach.
The first one came with 13 seconds left in the first half following a Green Bay turnover when Arians summoned his punt team back to the sideline and sent Brady and the offense back out to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Green Bay 45.
“We didn’t come here to not take chances to win the game,” Arians explained.
Brady hit Leonard Fournette for 6 yards with 8 seconds remaining and Tampa Bay leading 14-10.
On the next play, cornerback Kevin King inexplicably allowed Scotty Miller to race past him in single coverage and Brady hit his receiver for a 39-yard touchdown with 1 second left for a 21-10 halftime lead.
“We were going to try to heave it like a Hail Mary type thing,” Miller said. “They played me pretty much man-to-man and my guy didn’t get too much depth, so I was able to just run right by him. Then Tom put a great ball on me like he always does. It was a special moment. I don’t even know if I could have dreamed of it as a kid. It’s just so crazy.”
“Yeah, it was man coverage. Definitely not the right call for the situation,” LaFleur said.
The aggressive move by Arians was in line with what the Bucs’ coaching staff had promised the players.
Offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich “told us all week we’re going to be aggressive, we’re going to go at them, we’re going to take chances,” Miller said. “That’s what we do. We’ve got so many playmakers. We’ve got Tom at the helm.
“It was a risk at the time,” Miller added, “but there was only 13 seconds left, so if we ran a play and didn’t get it, we probably waste six (seconds). Then they probably have to throw a Hail Mary as well, so why not us do it?”
The second critical call was LaFleur’s head-scratching decision to kick a field goal rather than go for the tying touchdown and 2-point conversion on fourth-and-goal from the 8 with 2:05 remaining and the Packers trailing 31-23.
With a spot in the Super Bowl on the line, he chose to put the game not in the hands of his All-Pro quarterback who’s the MVP favorite, but in those of his defense.
“The way our defense was playing, it felt like the right decision to do,” LaFleur said. “It just didn’t work out.”
Rodgers never got the ball back as Brady clinched his 10th trip to the Super Bowl and sent Rodgers to his fourth straight conference championship loss one week after ending Drew Brees’ season and probably his career with a win at New Orleans.
The Packers had rallied from 18 points down and were in position to tie it with a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. On first-and-goal, Rodgers threw an incomplete pass to Allen Lazard followed by a misfire to Davante Adams.
Rodgers might have been able to run it in himself on third down, but pulled up and misfired again to Adams.
No worries, he thought, figuring he’d get a fourth crack at it.
Fail, and at least Brady and the Bucs would be backed up.
Rodgers, however, turned to see Mason Crosby trotting out for a field goal instead.
“That wasn’t my decision,” Rodgers said as diplomatically as he could. “But I understand the thinking … .”
Bucs edge rusher Shaq Barrett sure didn’t.
“I couldn’t believe it, honestly,” Barrett said, “because there’s no guarantee they’re going to make it back down there again.”
After all, Brady is one of the game’s greatest closers, especially when all he needs is a first down or two to go into victory formation.
“Our offense has been pretty amazing in four-minute offense this year, not giving the team back the ball so I had the utmost confidence in them,” Barrett said. “If he could take it back he probably wouldn’t do that next time but I appreciate it.”
Yes, LaFleur was kicking himself for kicking it.
“Yeah, any time it doesn’t work out, you always regret it, right?” LaFleur said. “But it was the circumstances of having three shots and coming away with no yards and knowing that you not only need the touchdown, but you need the 2-point (conversion). We essentially had four timeouts with the two-minute warning. We knew we needed to get a stop.”
They couldn’t.
King was called for pass interference on third down with 1:41 left and Tampa Bay sealed the win moments later on a third-down run by Chris Godwin.
That left Brady with one NFC title to go with the nine AFC championships he won in New England. Rodgers has one NFC championship in 13 seasons as a starter in Green Bay and Brees has one in 15 seasons as the Saints starting QB.
“This one does sting,” LaFleur said. “It’s going to take a long time getting over this one.”
Rodgers admitted he wasn’t sure how to move on from the disheartening defeat, saying, “A lot of guys’ futures are uncertain, myself included.”
“There’s a lot of unknowns going into this offseason now. I’m going to have to take some time away for sure to clear my head and see what’s going on with everything,” Rodgers said. “But it’s really tough right now, especially thinking about the guys who may or may not be here next year.”
LaFleur is praying that doesn’t include Rodgers.
Asked if he thinks he’ll get another chance to work with Rodgers next season, LaFleur said, “I sure as hell hope so. I mean, the guy’s the MVP of this league. He’s the heart and soul of our football team. So, hell yeah, he better be back here. He’s our leader.
“Just so appreciative of him buying into what we’re trying to get done around here and leading that group. His voice carries a lot of weight in that locker room. And just you know, I feel for him, to be in this situation and for us not get it done, man, that hurts.”

Taliban violence raises questions about US troop withdrawal
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says the Taliban’s refusal to meet commitments to reduce violence in Afghanistan is raising questions about whether all U.S. troops will be able to leave by May as required under the peace agreement. Pentagon chief spokesman John Kirby says the U.S. stands by its commitment for a full U.S. troop withdrawal, but the agreement also calls for the Taliban to cut ties with al-Qaida and reduce violence. The Biden administration has said it is taking a close look at the peace deal, which was signed last February with the Trump White House. There are now about 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, mainly conducting counterterror operations.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says the Taliban’s refusal to meet commitments to reduce violence in Afghanistan is raising questions about whether all U.S. troops will be able to leave by May as required under the peace agreement. Pentagon chief spokesman John Kirby says the U.S. stands by its commitment for a full U.S. troop withdrawal, but the agreement also calls for the Taliban to cut ties with al-Qaida and reduce violence. The Biden administration has said it is taking a close look at the peace deal, which was signed last February with the Trump White House. There are now about 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, mainly conducting counterterror operations.",

Why Biden's immigration plan may be risky for Democrats
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — As one of his first acts, President Joe Biden offered a sweeping immigration overhaul that would provide a pathway to U.S. citizenship for the estimated 11 million people who are in the country illegally. It’s the type of proposal that many Latino activists have longed for. But it must compete with Biden’s other marquee legislative goals, from dealing with the coronavirus pandemic to aiding the struggling economy. In the best of circumstances, enacting an immigration overhaul would be difficult. But in a narrowly divided Congress, it could be impossible. And that has some Latinos worried Biden could cut deals that weaken the finished product too much — or fail to pass anything at all.

Staying above average even with the foggy, gray scene
| null | null |

The endless fog is back Wednesday. This trend will likely continue through the remainder of the week. Are you curios why we're stuck in this foggy pattern? Chief Meteorologist Matt Schaefer explains here: Here's why we're stuck in this pattern.
A DENSE FOG ADVISORY has been issued for all of western Wisconsin until 9 am Wednesday. Once again, visibility will be down near or below 1/4 mile at times. Even through the afternoon, much like Tuesday, patchy fog may lead to lower visibility.
Some lower level warmer air will filter into the region as a low pressure system moves through the Dakotas' and into Iowa. This will push high temperatures towards 30 again Wednesday.
It will be cloudy and foggy for most of the day. We can't rule out the chance for a few flurries Wednesday afternoon. No accumulation is expected, but you may see some flakes.
We'll be stuck in this pattern until at least Saturday when another system will try to give us a few flurries, but even that looks minimal as of now.
We need a change in air mass to get rid of our inversion (explained in the link above) and move us back into the chances for sunshine. At least we'll seem more above average temperatures as we traverse through the first half of January. Even with this dreary, gray weather.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden pledged in his inaugural address to level with the American people — and the message from his first three days in office has been nothing if not grim and grimmer. He has painted a bleak picture of the country’s immediate future dealing with the coronavirus, warning Americans that it will take months, not weeks, to reorient a nation facing a historic convergence of crises. The dire language is meant as a call to action, but it is also a deliberate effort to temper expectations. Allies also see the telltale signs of a proven political strategy: underpromise and overdeliver.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first hours as president, Joe Biden on Wednesday will aim to strike at the heart of President Donald Trump’s policy legacy.
Aides say Biden plans to sign a series of executive actions that reverse his predecessor’s orders on immigration, climate change, and handling of the pandemic.
Biden also is expected to end construction on Trump’s border wall, end the ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries, rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization, and revoke the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.

BERLIN (AP) — 2020 was the warmest year in Europe since records began, according to data published Friday by the EU climate monitoring service. Last year topped the previous temperature record in Europe, 2019, by a whopping 0.4 degrees Celsius, according to the agency’s measurements. It said 2020 was also tied with 2016 for the warmest year worldwide, confirming the past decade as the hottest on record. Rising global temperatures are tied to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Chief among them is carbon dioxide, which is released by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former CIA software engineer charged with leaking government secrets to WikiLeaks says he’s held in solitary confinement in an area of a jail where inmates are treated like “caged animals.” Joshua Schulte asked a Manhattan federal judge Tuesday to find that the conditions imposed on him for the last two years at the Metropolitan Correctional Center are unconstitutional. Schulte is held under rules often used against terrorism defendants to prevent them from communicating with others. He says he’s confined to a freezing cell where bright lights are on 24 hours a day. A message seeking comment was sent to the federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice.

BEIJING (AP) — A state news agency says China has completed construction of a 1,500-room hospital for coronavirus patients in five days to fight a surge in infections in a city south of Beijing. The Xinhua News Agency says the hospital is one of six with a total of 6,500 rooms being built in Nangong in Hebei province. China, which largely contained the spread of the virus, has suffered hundreds of infections in Nangong and the Hebei provincial capital of Shijiazhuang, southwest of the Chinese capital. A similar program of rapid hospital construction was launched by the ruling Communist Party at the start of the outbreak last year to set up isolation hospitals in Wuhan, the central city where the virus was first detected in late 2019.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Tom Brady, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ road magic, has them heading home to the Super Bowl, the first team to play in one on their home field. Brady owns six Super Bowl rings with New England and now heads to his 10th NFL championship game with his new team. With help from a stifling pass rush led by Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul combining for five sacks, and a curious late call by the Packers, Brady and the Bucs beat top-seeded Green Bay 31-26 for the NFC title Sunday. The Bucs (14-5) earned their franchise-record eighth consecutive road victory to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since their 2002 championship season.

The Packers (13-3) earned a bye while winning their sixth in a row and beat Chicago (8-8) for the 19th time in 22 games, counting the postseason. The Bears are headed to the playoffs for the second time in coach Matt Nagy’s three years despite the loss because Arizona fell to the Los Angeles Rams.

Prosecutors fight sentence reduction for murder convict
| null | null |

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Connecticut are fighting a proposed prison sentence reduction for former Bridgeport drug dealer Adrian Peeler that would allow him to walk free next year. Peeler is serving a 25-year state prison sentence for the 1999 killings of an 8-year-old murder trial witness, B.J. Brown, and the boy’s mother, Karen Clarke. That sentence ends next year and is supposed to be followed by a 35-year federal prison sentence for drug dealing. But Peeler is asking a judge to reduce the federal sentence to time served in state prison, under a federal criminal justice reform law. Prosecutors say the law wasn’t intended for violent offenders.

"HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Connecticut are fighting a proposed prison sentence reduction for former Bridgeport drug dealer Adrian Peeler that would allow him to walk free next year. Peeler is serving a 25-year state prison sentence for the 1999 killings of an 8-year-old murder trial witness, B.J. Brown, and the boy’s mother, Karen Clarke. That sentence ends next year and is supposed to be followed by a 35-year federal prison sentence for drug dealing. But Peeler is asking a judge to reduce the federal sentence to time served in state prison, under a federal criminal justice reform law. Prosecutors say the law wasn’t intended for violent offenders.",

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian rescuers have pulled out body parts, pieces of clothing and scraps of metal from the Java Sea, a day after a Boeing 737-500 with 62 people onboard crashed shortly after takeoff from Jakarta. Officials are hopeful they are honing in on the wreckage of Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 after sonar equipment detected a signal from the aircraft. The transportation minister told reporters Sunday morning authorities have launched massive search efforts after identifying the possible location of the crash site. More than 12 hours since the plane operated by the Indonesian airline lost contact, little is known about what caused the crash. Fishermen in the area around Thousand Islands north of Jakarta’s coast reported hearing an explosion Saturday afternoon.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s attorney general is calling for an investigation into who may have authorized a branch of the Republican Attorneys General Association to promote the pro-Trump rally in Washington D.C. that preceded a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is head of the RAGA Rule of Law Defense Fund. He says he was unaware of any decisions made by the fund to support the rally. The Republican Attorneys General Association issued a statement saying it was not involved in the planning, sponsoring, or the organization of Wednesday’s event.

The Latest: Danes: Up to 6-week delay OK for 2nd shot

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Danish health authorities will allow a wait of up to six weeks before administering a second dose of a coronavirus vaccine, but say the original guidelines of waiting only three to four weeks to deliver a second shot should be followed whenever possible.
Soeren Brostroem, head of the Danish Health Authority, said his agency and the Danish Medicines Agency have been scrutinizing vaccine data. Denmark is part of the European Union, which officially kicked off its vaccination programs on Dec. 27 using the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, which requires two shots.
“We can see in the documentation that it can take up to six weeks between each injection. We will add this to our updated guidelines,” Brostroem told Danish news agency Ritzau. “If you go longer than six weeks, we cannot see the scientific evidence that you are protected with certainty.”
Britain, in an effort to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible, has allowed authorities to stretch out the time between the first shot and the second from 21 days to 12 weeks. Around the world, among scientists and governments, there is strong debate on the wisdom of that plan.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
ROME — The Italian government has extended travel restrictions and other measures for another week in its modified Christmas season lockdown to try to head off a new surge in coronavirus infections.
A decree approved by the Cabinet early Tuesday extends the measures to Jan. 15. At the same time, the government agreed to begin letting high school students return to class starting next week, but only in limited numbers. High schools have been on remote learning since the end of October, though elementary and middle schoolers have been attending in-person school since the start of the academic year.
Italy, the first country in the west to be slammed by the virus, has been trying to control its latest wave of infections with localized restrictions. After two months of restrictions, infections have plateaued but hospitals are still under pressure, hundreds of people are still dying every day and officials fear cases could surge again due to holiday get-togethers.
Italy has reported over 75,600 confirmed virus deaths in the pandemic, but experts say many COVID-19 deaths were not counted early in the pandemic.
___
PARIS — Amid public outcry, France’s health minister has promised an “exponential” acceleration of his country’s slow coronavirus vaccination process.
After barely 500 people in France were vaccinated in the first six days, Health Minister Olivier Veran defended the government’s strategy of giving the vaccines first to residents of nursing homes. But he vowed Tuesday to simplify a bureaucratic consent process blamed in part for France’s lagging vaccinations.
Veran said the government will expand the number of vaccination centers and categories of people eligible for early vaccines, and allow people to sign up for vaccinations on an app or by phone.
But he insisted that the government would not forego safety guidelines in a country facing broad vaccine skepticism.
While neighboring countries are imposing strict new lockdowns amid surging infections, Veran said France is weighing its options and “cannot relax,” but announced no new measures.
___
BERLIN — Germany’s disease control center on Tuesday reported 944 more COVID-19 deaths, fueling expectations that Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country’s 16 state governors will extend the country’s lockdown until the end of the month.
Germany’s latest lockdown took effect Dec. 16 after a partial shutdown starting in early November failed to reduce the number of daily new coronavirus infections. It was initially set to expire Jan. 10.
Merkel’s meeting with the governors on Tuesday will decide how long the lockdown should go on and to what extent schools will reopen. Another topic high on the agenda will be addressing criticism of the country’s vaccination program amid frustrations over its gradual start.
Vaccinations in Germany and the rest of the 27-nation European Union started over a week ago. In Germany, a nation of 83 million, nearly 265,000 vaccinations had been reported by Monday, the Robert Koch Institute said.
___
JAKARTA — Indonesia will start its COVID-19 vaccination program on Jan. 13, with President Joko Widodo getting the first shot.
Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin said Tuesday that after the president, ministers and other central government officials get vaccinated, the program will be expanded to other regions the next day and will prioritized health workers.
The government is still waiting for an emergency use authorization for the vaccine from China’s Sinovac Biotech from its drugs regulator and a fatwa on the halal vaccine from the Indonesian Ulema Council.
According to the Health Ministry, it will take 15 months, from January to March 2022, for Indonesia to complete the COVID-19 vaccination program in 34 provinces and reach a total population of 181.5 million people.
On Tuesday, Indonesia registered 7,445 new COVID-19 and 198 additional deaths, bringing the overall confirmed death toll to 23,109.
___
JERUSALEM — American biotech company Moderna says Israel has approved its COVID-19 vaccine, but the announcement comes as the country faces a rapidly growing outbreak of the disease.
Moderna said in a statement Tuesday that the Israeli Health Ministry authorized use of the company’s vaccine and that it would begin delivering this month the 6 million doses secured by Israel.
Israel’s Health Ministry reported 8,308 new confirmed cases of coronavirus on Tuesday — one of the highest daily tallies since the beginning of the pandemic — as the country struggles to contain the pandemic during a third national lockdown. Israel has recorded over 450,000 cases of coronavirus and 3,445 deaths.
At the same time, Israel has already vaccinated over 10% of its population, primarily the elderly and healthcare workers.
___
BANGKOK — Thailand’s government says it is tightening restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus as the country logged another 527 new cases.
Officials said Tuesday that foreign migrant workers accounted for 439 of the new infections, while 82 were Thais infected locally and another six were new arrivals from abroad. Thailand on Monday reported 745 infections, the most since the pandemic began.
After almost no locally transmitted infections for almost half a year, Thailand in recent weeks has seen a viral resurgence first spotted in communities of foreign factory and market workers just outside Bangkok.
The government has responded by putting in place fresh antivirus measures across large parts of the country, including closing schools and limiting restaurant hours. The government said Tuesday that it will restrict travel between provinces in so-called “red-zone” to goods, cargo and necessary travel. Field hospitals were being set up in at least five hot zones

BEIJING — China has designated parts of Hebei province near Beijing as a coronavirus high danger zone after 14 new cases of COVID-19 were found.
Eleven of those cases were in Shijiazhuang city, where some events for the 2022 Winter Olympics will be held. An additional 30 people tested positive for the virus without showing any symptoms.
The other three COVID-19 cases were in the city of Yantai. Parts of Shijiazhuang were designated high danger areas, meaning they will undergo stricter testing and isolation measures, while parts of Yantai were registered as medium risk areas.
China has recorded 87,183 cases of COVID-19, with 4,634 deaths. People who have tested positive but not shown symptoms have been counted separately.
China is urging tens of millions of migrant workers to stay put during next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, usually the world’s largest annual human migration. Classes are also being dismissed a week earlier than usual and tourists are being told not to come to Beijing for holidays.
___
MEXICO CITY — Mexico approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine for emergency use Monday, hoping to spur a halting vaccination effort that has only given about 44,000 shots since the third week of December, about 82% of the doses the country has received.
Prior to this, the Pfizer vaccine was the only one approved for use in Mexico. Mexican regulators approved the AstraZeneca shot on Monday.
Assistant Health Secretariat Hugo López-Gatell said he erroneously reported approval for Chinese vaccine-maker CanSino, noting it had not yet submitted full study results for safety and efficacy.
Mexico has pinned much of its hopes on the inexpensive, one-shot CanSino vaccine. “It will makes things a lot easier for us,” López-Gatell said.
___
TOPEKA, Kan. – Gov. Laura Kelly says she’s “very comfortable” with how Kansas is distributing COVID-19 vaccines despite U.S. government data showing its inoculation rate is the lowest of any state.
The Democratic governor argued Monday that Kansas likely has a more efficient distribution system than other states and is getting vaccine doses more quickly to more communities. The state Department of Health and Environment has said the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows Kansas behind other states because of a reporting lag. Kelly told reporters the state has concentrated on “getting vaccinations in people’s arms.”
The CDC reported Monday that Kansas had administered 20,110 vaccine shots, or 690 for every 100,000 residents, making it the only state to inoculate fewer than 700 residents out of every 100,000.
House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., a Kansas City-area Republican, said Monday that Kansas residents “are tired of hearing excuses.”
___
JACKSON, MISS. — Officials in Mississippi announced a plan Monday to streamline access to coronavirus vaccines for vulnerable populations in the coming weeks.
“We want to make sure that as many doses as we get this week, we’re getting that many shots in arms,” Gov. Tate Reeves said during a news conference. “It doesn’t do us any good if it’s sitting on the shelf.”
The Republican governor said Monday that people over 75 will have access to the vaccine, beginning next week, at private clinics and drive-through sites. The week after, those over 65 will become eligible for the vaccine.
He said “we must focus on saving lives.”
The Department of Health has 18 high-volume drive-through sites prepared for the vaccine rollout. Approximately 174 private clinics have also requested vaccines.
___
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County is likely to hit 1,000 coronavirus-related deaths a week soon if the current trends continue.
More than 1 in 5 people are testing positive for COVID-19 and the county’s cases doubled between Nov. 30, at 400,000, and Jan. 2, to 800,000. It took more than nine months to reach 400,000.
County health officials fear a surge from Christmas and New Year’s gatherings. Additional Thanksgiving cases have swamped hospitals, forcing them to treat patients in hallways, ambulances and the gift shop, and forced an oxygen shortage.
The county on Monday reported 77 additional deaths, which include a reporting lag over the weekend, bringing the total to 10,850 in the nation’s most populous county.
Officials also reported 9,142 new cases — a lower figure due to testing sites being closed during the New Year holiday — to make a total of 827,498. The variant has not yet been detected in the county but officials believe it is here.
Nearly 7,700 people are hospitalized countywide for COVID-19 and 21% are in intensive care units.
“We’re likely to experience the worst conditions in January that we’ve faced the entire pandemic — and that’s hard to imagine,” county public health director Barbara Ferrer said.
___
DENVER — Inmates in a Colorado jail will get daily temperature checks and those who test positive for COVID-19 will be regularly monitored by medical staff under a temporary deal negotiated by lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union and the sheriff and approved by a federal judge.
The ACLU sued El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder last month after his office acknowledged that inmates were not routinely given masks to prevent the spread of infection until a large COVID-19 outbreak in the jail. Jail officials said they could not distribute masks initially during the pandemic because the only ones available had metal staples.
Under the preliminary injunction, inmates will be given two cloth masks to use and deputies who do no wear masks will face discipline. Deputies will check inmates’ temperatures twice a day and anyone with a temperature over 99.4 degrees will be referred to medical staff.
Those who test positive will be checked by medical staff daily and given access to over-the-counter pain and cold medicine like Tylenol or Mucinex for free.

Deputies will check inmates’ temperatures twice a day and anyone with a temperature over 99.4 degrees will be referred to medical staff.\nThose who test positive will be checked by medical staff daily and given access to over-the-counter pain and cold medicine like Tylenol or Mucinex for free.",

Blame for EU's rusty vaccine rollout

APELDOORN, Netherlands (AP) — The 27-nation EU is coming under criticism for the slow rollout of its vaccination campaign. The bloc, a collection of many of the richest countries in the world, is not faring well in comparison to countries like Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States. While Israel has given at least one shot of a two-dose vaccine to over 40% of its population and that figure in Britain is 10%, the EU total stands at just over 2%. Onerous regulations and paperwork in some countries and poor planning in others have contributed to the delay, as did a more deliberate authorization process for the shots.

White House contact form now includes pronoun options
| null | null |
wqow.com

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - A change many have noticed since President Joe Biden took office, the White House contact form now allows you to select your pronouns.
The dropdown menu has the options she/her, he/him, they/them, other or prefer not to share. This action reflects Biden's campaign promise to advance LGBTQ+ equality in the United States.
For many, just adding this list of pronouns to the website has big implications, including locally. Chippewa Valley LGBTQ+ Vice President of Operations Dan Bennett-Hardy said more people are seeing gender as a social construct and not identifying as the gender they're assigned as at birth. He says being recognized by the White House in this way makes a big difference to people's overall well being.
"As simple a thing as having a form identify your correct gender, the one that you chose, the pronouns that you want to be identified as, makes a huge difference because suddenly you know that somebody cares enough to ask," Bennett-Hardy said.
In another historic move, Biden nominated the first openly transgender person, Dr. Rachel Levine, to be the Assistant Secretary of Health for the Department of Health and Human Services.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After surviving nearly a year of darts and undermining comments from former President Donald Trump, Dr. Anthony Fauci is back. He now speaks with the authority of the White House again. The doctor called it “liberating” Thursday to be backed by a science-friendly administration that has embraced his recommendations to battle COVID-19. And Fauci made clear that he believes the new administration will not trade in the mixed messages that so often came from the Trump White House, where scientific fact was often obscured by the president’s political agenda.

VERNDALE, Minn. (AP) — A central Minnesota restaurant owner has turned one of the state’s favorite winter shelters into an indoor-outdoor dining experience during the coronavirus pandemic. Brian Hagen, who owns the Pirates Den on busy U.S. Highway 10 in Verndale, is serving his meals in fish houses. Hagen tells the Star Tribune that his phone has been “ringing off the wall” since he posted his plan on Facebook. State health officials on Sunday confirmed 2,714 new COVID-19 cases and 53 new deaths in a report that spanned two days because of the New Year’s holiday.

Phil Spector's death resurrects mixed reaction from skeptics

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phil Spector was viewed as a man with two distinct personas: The late music producer was regarded as a rock ‘n’ roll genius who elevated the genre with his “Wall of Sound” style and creating hits for several big names from the Beatles to Tina Turner. But while Spector made his mark as a revolutionary music producer, the stories of him waving guns at recording artists and being convicted of murder overshadowed his artistry. Spector’s death resurrected some mixed feelings about his life and legacy. Some lauded his early contributions to rock music, while others saw him as a murderer of Lana Clarkson, which landed him 19 years to life.

Foley & Lardner said Cleta Mitchell has resigned effective immediately. Mitchell was a senior partner based in Washington. Foley & Lardner made a decision in November not to take on any clients involved in any matters related to the presidential election. Mitchell has said she was acting as a volunteer.

Vaccine rollout faces challenges in France's poorest region

SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — Many people lining up for vaccines in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis are particularly grateful for the injections. The surrounding region is the poorest in mainland France, with 130 languages spoken and the country’s highest rise in mortality last spring. Up to 75 percent of the population is made up of immigrants and those with immigrant roots. France’s already troubled vaccine campaign faces special challenges in this region. So officials are sending out a special bus to visit street markets and assigning “vaccination ambassadors” who speak several languages to provide vaccine information — and fight disinformation that spreads fast.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Tunisia is extending its virus curfew and banning demonstrations for three weeks as it tries to stem a rapid rise in infections. The government is also trying to calm tensions after a week of protests and rioting by young people angry over poverty and lack of jobs. New clashes between protesters and police broke out Saturday hours after the new virus restrictions were announced. Tunisia reported 103 virus-related deaths in a single day Thursday in a country of 11 million people, its highest figure to date and among the highest rates in Africa.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Investigators are asking for the public’s help to determine what led up to a head-on crash that killed seven children and two adults in central California on New Year’s Day. The children were between 6 and 15 years old. They were traveling in a Ford truck that collided with a Dodge SUV on State Route 33 between Avenal and Coalinga. The California Highway Patrol says it appears a man driving the Dodge veered onto the dirt shoulder for an unknown reason. The driver then overcorrected and swerved into oncoming traffic and struck the Ford. The Ford burst into flames.

Chaos, violence, mockery as pro-Trump mob occupies Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — It began as a day of reckoning for President Donald Trump’s futile attempt to cling to power, as Congress took up the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. It fractured into scenes of fear and agony that left a prime ritual of American democracy in tatters.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — It began as a day of reckoning for President Donald Trump’s futile attempt to cling to power, as Congress took up the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. It fractured into scenes of fear and agony that left a prime ritual of American democracy in tatters. A pro-Trump mob overran the U.S. Capitol, occupying one hallowed space of American democracy after another. A woman was shot and killed by police, and three others died in apparent medical emergencies. Authorities eventually regained control, as night fell.

Biden to propose 8-year citizenship path for immigrants
| null | null |
wqow.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill on Day One of his administration. It would provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal status, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the legislation. It’s a massive reversal from the Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies. The legislation puts Biden on track to deliver on a major campaign promise after four years of President Donald Trump’s restrictive policies. But it does not include beefed-up border security, which makes passage in Congress in doubt. It is set to be introduced after Biden takes the oath of office Wednesday.

HOUSTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a second Houston police officer has been charged with murder and is among additional officers who have been indicted as part of an ongoing investigation into a Houston Police Department narcotics unit following a deadly 2019 drug raid. In all, a dozen officers tied to the narcotics unit have been indicted after their work came under scrutiny following the January 2019 drug raid in which Dennis Tuttle and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas were killed. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said one officer was indicted for murder in Tuttle’s death. Other officers were indicted on charges related to theft of overtime.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s health ministry says the government hasn’t banned the export of COVID-19 vaccines. The announcement Tuesday comes two days after the head of Serum Institute of India told The Associated Press that the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer had been barred from exporting its version of the AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine as a condition of receiving emergency authorization. Now, Serum Institute says vaccines can be sent to any country for their immunization programs, and the restrictions are only on private markets.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former House Speaker Paul Ryan says in a statement that Democrat Joe Biden's presidential victory is "entirely legitimate." He is condemning efforts by some Republicans to object to the results and overturn the election in the congressional count of electoral votes on Wednesday. The group of House and Senate Republicans are echoing President Donald Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. Ryan, who left Congress in 2019, says it "is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans." Ryan urged the lawmakers to reconsider.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s health regulator on Sunday approved the urgent use of coronavirus vaccines made by Sinovac and AstraZeneca, enabling Latin America’s largest nation to begin an immunization program that’s been subject to months of delay and political disputes. Brazil currently has 6 million doses of Sinovac’s CoronaVac vaccine ready to distribute in the next few days, and is awaiting the arrival of another 2 million doses of the vaccine made by AstraZeneca and partner Oxford University. Vaccination in Brazil is beginning later than neighbors such as Argentina and Chile despite a robust public health system and decades of experience with immunization campaigns.

Every January, huge crowds descend on Las Vegas for the CES gadget show, an extravaganza of tech and glitz intended to set the tone for the coming year in consumer technology. CES starts this week, but thanks to the pandemic, it will be in a radical new format. This year, CES is reborn as a “virtual” show taking place only in cyberspace — one in which the new technology will only be viewable … via technology, aka video streams and chat. On display this year will be COVID-fighting “coronabots,” artificial intelligence-powered avatars and transparent TVs. But it’s not entirely clear exactly how all this all is going to work.

No. 21 Minnesota (11-5, 4-5) vs. Purdue (11-6, 6-4)
Mackey Arena, West Lafayette, Indiana; Saturday, 7:30 p.m. EST
BOTTOM LINE: Purdue looks for its fourth straight win over No. 21 Minnesota at Mackey Arena. The last victory for the Golden Gophers at Purdue was a 91-82 win on Jan. 1, 2017.
SUPER SENIORS: Minnesota’s Marcus Carr, Liam Robbins and Brandon Johnson have combined to account for 54 percent of the team’s scoring this season and have scored 56 percent of all Golden Gophers points over the last five games.
FUELING THE OFFENSE: Carr has either made or assisted on 43 percent of all Minnesota field goals over the last three games. The senior guard has accounted for 19 field goals and 10 assists in those games.
UNDEFEATED WHEN: The Boilermakers are 8-0 when holding opponents to 41.3 percent or worse from the field, and 3-6 when opponents shoot better than that. The Golden Gophers are 10-0 when they score at least 75 points and 1-5 on the year when falling short of 75.
BEHIND THE ARC: Minnesota’s Robbins has attempted 35 3-pointers and connected on 40 percent of them, and is 5 for 7 over the last three games.
DID YOU KNOW: The Minnesota offense has recorded a turnover on only 15.1 percent of its possessions, which is the 16th-lowest rate in the nation. The Purdue defense has forced opposing teams to turn the ball over on just 17 percent of all possessions (ranked 297th among Division I teams).

Coronavirus guidelines now the rule at White House
| null | null |
wqow.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — The clearest sign that there’s a new boss at the White House is the deference being paid to coronavirus public health guidelines. Testing wristbands are in. Mask-wearing is mandatory. Desks are socially distanced. While the Trump administration was known for ignoring public safety guidelines, the Biden team has made a point of adhering to the same strict guidelines they’re counseling Americans to follow to help stem the spread of the virus. It’s part of an overall effort by President Joe Biden to lead by example on the coronavirus pandemic, an ethos that carries over from his campaign and transition.

Count of homeless population being taken Wednesday night
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Exactly how many people are experiencing homelessness in Eau Claire County? That's what the Western Dairyland Economic Opportunity Council seeks to find out in Wednesday night's bi-annual point-in-time count.
The count takes place twice a year, with volunteers driving around ten different areas of the county to see how many people are outside and without a home.
When someone is found outside and awake, they are given a bag that has some hygiene essentials, socks, gloves, and snacks. They are also offered transportation to a shelter to spend the night. If they're asleep, they are simply noted as someone experiencing homelessness.
Point-in-time counts are conducted across the state to create a snapshot of homelessness so that resources can be made available to help.
"We get an idea of the different populations of people, whether it's veterans, families, men, women, youth, just to better service our communities because homelessness is such a big issue and we want to try and help as many people as we can," said Samantha Harkness, Housing First Case Manager with Western Dairyland.
She said the majority of the people she sees experiencing homelessness in Eau Claire are single men, but there are also some families that are found during these counts. Last year, she said about a dozen people were found during their point-in-time count.
"Honestly it looks different from year to year," she said. "We can find a lot of people or we can find no one, and hopefully we find no one because they have a place to be."

Bond film 'No Time to Die' delayed again because of virus
| null | null |
wqow.com

LONDON (AP) — Producers of the forthcoming James Bond thriller “No Time to Die” say the film’s release has been delayed again, until the fall of 2021, because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The official 007 Twitter account said late Thursday that the 25th installment in the franchise will now open globally on Oct. 8. “No Time To Die” was originally supposed to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to November of that year as the virus swept around the world, then delayed again to April 2, 2021. It’s one of a slew of major release to be pushed back as Hollywood studios grapple with coronavirus-related restrictions that have shuttered cinemas in markets around the world.

Phil Hughes has retired from baseball, more than two years after throwing his last pitch. The 34-year-old right-hander said on Twitter he was announcing what’s been “fairly apparent” these last few years. A World Series champion with the Yankees in 2009, Hughes was 88-79 with a 4.52 ERA over 12 major league seasons with New York, Minnesota and San Diego. He was an All-Star in 2010, when he went a career-best 18-8, and won 16 games in 2012 and 2014.

Congo's prime minister resigns after lawmakers vote him out

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba submitted his letter of resignation Friday to Congo’s President, two days after lawmakers voted overwhelmingly for his ouster. After 15 months heading the coalition government, he thanked the president as well as the former head of state Joseph Kabila who helped put him in the post. The National Assembly on Wednesday voted 367 out of 377 to remove Ilunkamba for incompetence. The move paves the way for Tshisekedi to appoint someone more loyal as he distances himself from a coalition formed with his predecessor, Kabila, the strongman who governed the impoverished Central African nation for 18 years.

Stevens Point Fire Department combats PFAS with eco-friendly foam
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Stevens Point (WAOW) -- The State of Wisconsin recently released recommendations for the elimination of PFAS.
The City of Stevens Point Fire department began working towards a move away from these chemicals long before that.
Most humans are exposed to small amounts of chemicals known as PFAS daily. They occur in things like Teflon cookware, shampoo and conditioners, body deodorant, and fast-food wrappers.
First responders encounter it in the form of Class B firefighting foam.
"Class B foam has been used for many years, it's been around this department for many years," said. J.B. Moody, assistant fire chief.
Because PFAS don't decompose, they can linger in our soil and water, in some cases causing harmful health effects.
"When we started to learn about the potential dangers of PFAS, we took the lead," said Stevens Point Mayor Mike Wiza.
While the fire department has only used Class B foam five times in its history, the city wants to avoid any irreversible damages.
"Five times are five things you can't take back," Wiza said.
The city took action in April of 2020, making the switch to a friendlier foam that doesn't contain PFAS.
"That takes the fluorine substance actually out of the Class B foam," Moody said.
This allows them to handle flight flammable or aerosol liquids without any impact on the environment.
"I'm proud to say that we did that before it was mandated. I'm sure we saw the light at the end of the tunnel," Wiza said.
While cost was certainly a consideration when the issue was put before the council, Wiza said it was ultimately a no-brainer.
"What our priorities are as a city are doing what's right for the environment, for the community and for the planet," he said.
Officials are proud to have set the precedent for other area departments.
"To lead by example in the fire service and to promote being PFAS free and environmentally friendly," Moody said.
The department hopes to make the full transition to using PFAS-free foam soon.

Thailand scrambles to contain outbreak, secure vaccines

BANGKOK (AP) — For much of 2020, Thailand had the coronavirus under control. After a strict nationwide lockdown in April and May, the number of new local infections dropped to zero, where they remained for the next six months. However, a new outbreak discovered in mid-December threatens to put Thailand back where it was in the toughest days of early 2020, when it tallied 3,045 cases and 59 deaths. The country’s COVID-19 coordinating center has warned that the number of new daily cases could rise to more than 10,000 by later this month under a worst-case scenario if the government does not do more to curtail the virus’s spread.

GOP senator rebukes 'dangerous ploy' to fight Biden victory

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska has issued a pointed rebuke of GOP attempts to object Jan. 6 to the Electoral College tally of the presidential election. On Thursday, he warned colleagues against the “dangerous ploy.” Sasse said he felt compelled to speak “truth” as constituents and those supporting President Donald Trump wanted to know where he stands. It’s a path in stark contrast to some other Republicans, most notably, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who is leading the challenge to President-elect Joe Biden’s election during next week’s joint session of Congress. The Biden team is dismissing Hawley’s move as “antics” that will have no bearing on Biden’s inauguration.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A limited number of Buffalo Bills fans arrived early in preparing to cheer the team on in hosting the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. It marked the first time fans were allowed to attend a home game this season after state health officials limited ticket sales to about 6,700. And it came in Buffalo’s first home playoff game in 24 years. Scott Hammond attended the game with his 15-year-old son, Landon, and says he “almost cried” upon finding out he was among the approximate 6,700 fans to win a ticket lottery.

THULASENDRAPURAM, India (AP) — A tiny, lush-green Indian village surrounded by rice paddy fields is beaming with joy hours before its descendant, Kamala Harris, takes her oath of office and becomes the U.S. vice president. Harris is set to make history as the first woman, first woman of color and first person of South Asian descent to hold the vice presidency. People are jubilant in her maternal grandfather’s hometown, about 215 miles from the southern coastal city of Chennai. A local teacher said people “are feeling very proud” that an Indian was elected as U.S. vice president. Harris’ grandfather left the village for Chennai decades ago. Her mother was born in India before going to study in the U.S., marrying and having a family.
