Jean Carroll lawyers tried to exclude juror who listened to notorious far-right Youtuber, documents show President Biden has finally announced his nominee for Food and Drug Administration commissioner, nearly 10 months into his preside ncy in the middle of a deadly pandemic mdash; Dr. Robert Califf. This will be his second time in the job if confirmed, since he also served as FDA commissioner during the Obama administration.As soon as the announcement was made, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced his opposition, meaning the Biden nominee will only be confirmed if he receives Republican support. Dr. Robert Califf is one of the most experienced clinical trialists in the country, and has the experience and expertise to lead the Food and Drug Administration during a critical time in our nation s fight to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic, the president said in a statement announcing Califf as his pick. As the FDA considers many consequential decisions around vaccine approvals and more, it is mission critical that we have a steady, independent hand to guide the FDA. Manchin is opposing Califf over his ties to the pharmaceutical industry, calling the president s selection of Califf an insult to the many families and individuals who have had their lives change forever as a result of addiction. West Virginia has been hit particularly hard by the opioid epidemic. Dr. Califf s nomination makes no sense as the opioid epidemic continues to wreak havoc on families across this country with no end in sight, Manchin said in a statemen Ogdd Initial vaccine distribution will cover fraction of health care workers THE NEXT CHAPTER in American history is playing out before our eyes.

Fsag Cypress Gardens Water Ski Team builds young girls confidence through water sports A federal jury on Friday convicted a former Kentucky police detective of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor during a botched 2020 d rug raid that left her dead.The 12-member jury returned the late-night verdict after clearing Brett Hankison earlier in the evening on a charge that he used excessive force on Taylor s neighbors.Its the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who wa s involved in the deadly raid.Some members of the jury were in tears as the verdict was read around 9:30 p.m. Friday. They had earlier indicated to the judge in two separate messages that they were deadlocked on the charge of using excessive force Taylor but chose to continue deliberating. The six man, six woman jury deliberated for more than 20 hours over three days.Taylor s mother, Tamika Palmer, celebrated the verdict with friends outside the federal courthouse, saying: It took a lot of time. It took a lot of patience. It was hard. The jurors took their time to really understand that Breonna deserved justice. Hankison fired 10 shots into Taylor s glass door and windows during the raid, but didn t hit anyone. Some shots flew into a next-door neighbor s adjoin ing apartment.The death of the 26-year-old Black woman, along with the May 2020 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, sparked racial injustice protests nationwide.A separate jury deadlocked on federal charges against Hankison last year, while in 2022, a jury acquitted Hankison on state charges of wanton endangerment.The conv Fxcz A group of 44 hikers had to be rescued from an Arizona state park Before your food makes it to your table, or even to the grocery store, it starts here in farms across America. It s planted, grown, and picked by farmworkers. We would typically work from 5 [a.m.] to anywhere like 10, 10:30 at night, Monday through Sunday, said former farm work er Monse Gonzalez.Gonzalez grew up near the farm where she worked in northern Colorado. But, many of her former co-workers are migrant workers from Mexico on H-2A visas for the growing season, usually April through October. I dont think they really realize how important they are to everybody else, said Gonzalez.Which is why its vital they stay healthy.Deb Salazar runs a mobile health unit through Salud Health Systems. Three days a week, the unit travels to different farms in the north Denver area. Without us, a lot of these folks wouldnt have the opportunities to see anybody whos medical. And also, because we go to them, they dont have to miss work, said Salazar.The mobile unit provides a place for the migrant workers to get screened for diabetes, hi gh or low blood pressure, get lab work done, and even see a medical provider for free through a federal grant. If one of their workers gets sick, its going to spread super quick, because they work in such close contact. And if theyre out, were not going to have any food, said Gonzalez.

Nxxx Ships make channel test run after Texas oil spill The public listing of cryptocurrency company Coinbase could redefine Wall Street blockbuster paydays mdash;and shine a light on the big money being made in the booming market for digital currencies.Shares of the cryptocurrency company went public through a direct listing and not a traditional initial public offering, which means the company is not selling shares to raise money but just listing the shares to trade publicly for the first ti me. The non-traditional offering structure appeared to delay the opening of the stock, which was expected Wednesday morning. Coinbase s shares didn t actually sta rt trading until a little after 1:30 p.m. When they did begin trading, Coinbase s shares surged, briefly shooting up 60% to $400 each. The stock price ended the day at $328.28, giving the company a market value of nearly $86 billion.That s nearly $20 billion more than the market capitalization of the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, which is the largest stock exchange in the world and was famously started under a buttonwood tree in 1792. Coinbase, based in San Francisco, launched in 2012. Coinbase has succeeded by making it easier to buy and sell in arcane markets for cryptocurrencies, t he most widely known of which is bitcoin. The company reported becoming profitable last year. But critics say it is getting an artificial boost from the soaring price of bitcoin, which this week topped $60,000, or 10 times the $6,000 it was Miom Disney cruise rescues Cuban fugitives wanted in New Orleans MARIETTA, Ga. -- A high school coach in suburban Atlanta is accused of bit ing another coach s face.An arrest warrant says South Cobb High School girls basketball coach Melon ie Joyce Martin was standing about two inches from coach Ty rone Harris when authorities say she bit him in the eye and nose.Martin s attorney, S.

Hetw Sale proceeds of emerald recovered from 1622 shipwreck to benefit Ukrainians First it was books and movies, then cars and furniture. Now you can buy plants, mulch and flowers online without leaving your home.More and more homeowners are doing just that, as opposed to running back to garden centers all spring.Garden center owner Kyle Natorp is preparing for the upcoming Mother s Day rush. But, he is not just bringing out the plants, as he is also uploading photos of hundreds of them to his website.This year, more homeowners like Patti Hall plan to let their fingers, instead of their feet, do the walking, by ordering plants on the web instead of spending hours wandering the greenhouse to find plants. It s a great way to shop for people who have trouble getting out, she said. I now look at a lot of their plants online before I come to the store. You can find out whats good for shade, whats good for sunlit areas, things like that. P andemic changed plant buying habitsOnline plant shopping has been around for years, and in a sense, actually goes all the way back to Burpee selling seeds to our grandparents by mail years ago. But, it really came into its own two years ago, during the pandemic shutdown when you couldn t even go into a greenhouse to look around.At the time, many people started buying plants online and now they appear to want to keep doing it. Natorp s garden center is happy to oblige. You can now buy just about everything from trees to shrubs and perennials and a little bit on the hard goo ds end as well on our website, he said.

She followed the cases by reading transcripts and briefs from home, and she will vote in the cases she missed.The cancer was first detected in November after Ginsburg fell in her office and was scanned as a part of her treatment for fractured ribs. After the surgery in December, the court announced that there was no remaining evidence of the disease and no other treatment was required. Recovery from these types of operations can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN s chief medical correspondent. Given t hat Justice Ginsburg is 85 years old and also recently broken her ribs, seven weeks of recovery seems on track. Because there is no ev idence of remaining disease, she should not need any more therapy, but may have but may have follow-up scans in the future, he said.Ginsb
