Uavp Harvey Weinstein won t be retried on deadlocked charges, Los Angeles prosecutors say The coronavirus pandemic that opened the door to working from home for millions of workers as a way to keep them safe also appears to have created enduring demand for remote jobs.The number of U.S. job postings on Indeed that mention remote work, telecommute or working from home has more than doubled over the last year, from 2.9% in January 2020 to 6.9% last month, according to newdatafrom the career services site. Most of those remote positions are in finance, law, therapy and technology, especially tech support and software development. Most striking is that the remote job postings share has continued to rise even as many workers have returned to the office, Jed Kolko, Indeed s chief economist, said in a blog post. By contrast, food service, manufacturing and tourism jobs offer the fewest opportuni ties for telecommuting, highlighting the gap between higher-paid professions where working from home is increasingly common and lower-paid fields that require in-person service. Most employees who work remotely also have a college degree, Indeed found.Thinner line between work and homeEmployers have offered telecommuting jobs long before the pandemic sw ept the U.S . last March. But as state and local governments forced businesses to close, many organizations converted employees to work-from-home positions. In doing so, it fundamentally altered the way Americans do their jobs, two Harvard researchers told CBS News.

One of them is Robert Faircloth Jr., who brought a backpack, a tote bag and his dog, Buster, to a shelter.His home of 40 years sits half a mile from the ocean in Wilmington and contains everything else he owns. You worry all day. You just don t know what s happening. You d like to run down there and check things out, he said. Faircloth planned to ride out the storm, as he d done in years past. Instead he decided to leave. I m not in the best health no more, and my trailer is old like me, and I figured I better haul buggy, he said. But leaving was painful because his family stayed, just like every hurricane before. My sister and my brother, I hope you guys are OK, he said.Late Friday, a CBS News crew in Wilmington learned his family and his house were just as he left them. I m smiling, Faircloth said. Think I m going to hug someone. Faircloth s not sure when he can go home because he arrived on an evacuation bus from Wilmington. Now he has to wait until officials there decided that it s safe for him and others to return. North Carolina shelter taking in hundreds ahead of Hurricane Florence 01:20

Dwnw Twitter locks its staff stock accounts ahead of impending deal, reports A New York mother went through a Burger King drive-thru hoping to get a quick bite for herself and her daughter, but what she left with was anything but an edible meal.Tiffany Floyd and her 4-year-old daughter had been running errands on Friday before they decided to stop by a Burger King in Getzville, about 16 miles from Buffalo. I went through the drive-thru. I handed my daughter the meal. About five minutes down the road, I heard Mommy, I didn t want ketchup. I grabbed the bag back from her thinking they just messed up her meal, Floyd said.To her surprise, the red liquid all over her daughter s hamburger, french fries and kids meal toy was not ketchup; it was blood. Floyd told Scripps News Buffalo she pulled over immediately and asked her daughter to spit out wh atever she had in her mouth. At that point, her daughter had already eaten a couple of french fries.The mom then called the Burger King on Millersport Highway and spoke to the manager, identified as Dan. He did inform me that somebody cut their hand right before they cooked and bagged my food, that he was sorry and that if I wanted to come back with a bag he would refund me my money, Floyd said. I declined. I said No thank you. Floy d next contacted the Niagara County Department of Health and filed a complaint. Niagara County forwarded the complaint to the Erie County Department of Health due to the location of the Burger King.Later that night, Floyd posted a TikTok video, which has now Wktd Supply chain issues having impact on local charities PHOENIX 鈥?Police have arrested a suspect after a 10-year-old girl was shot and killed in an apparent road rage incident on Wednesday night.THE SHOOTINGOfficers say the shooting happened around 5:45 p.m. local time Wednesday.

More than 9,000 in New Hampshire, 6,000 in Vermont and 6,000 in New York also were left in the dark, according to poweroutage.us.Restoration efforts on Saturday were complicated by snow still falling in some places, making travel dangerous.

Sdbc Broadway theaters loosen vaccination policy, still requiring masks ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. 鈥?Volunteers and staff were hard at work Wednesday as the City of St. Pete partnered with Tampa Bay Watch on the Maximo Park Living Shoreline Project. Its not really work, said Tracey Hempel. Its the dirtiest fun youll ever h ave. Heavy lifting and getting her hands dirty were all part of a days work for Hempel.On Wednesday, she and other volunteers helped install oyster reef balls and shell bags along the sou thern shoreline of Maximo Park. Were basically creating estuaries for our oysters and our young fish nurseries as well as preventing shoreline erosion around the Tampa Bay area, said Hempel. WFTS The city said the project aims to create a living shoreline spanning more than 7,800 square feet, positioned to help reduce erosion, restore coastal habitats, and enhance water quality. Well come in with the reef balls, the shell bags, the plants, and try to mimic a natural shoreline through those by recruiting the oysters to them, bringing those native plants along with it, and not only does it stabilize the shoreline, but it creates th ose ecosystems that are so important to creating buffer zones that help pull excess nutrients out of the water and create habitat for all our native species here in the Tampa Bay estuary, said Eric Plage, the Oyster Reef Ball Program Coordinator at Tampa Bay Watch.Volunteers filled bags, loaded them on carts, and stacked them on boats, along with the reef balls.

Communities around the country have shown their gratitude with street shows of lights and sirens, while legislators in the nations capital have started to consider more tangible gratitude, like possible student loan forgiveness. That loan forgiveness in Congress is absolutely warranted and does have a place in the fourth supplemental, said Matthew Shick with the Association of American Medical Colleges. AAMC is advocating for a student loan forgiveness bill that would help health care workers specifically. It could ease the financial burden and focus on what is in front of them, Shick added. However, Congress has some tough decisions ahead.There are several different student loan forgiveness bills and proposals on the hill. S.2235 and H.R.6363 are two bills that tackle student loan forgiveness for almost everyone with student loan debt. They each cap the amount to be forgiven, while other broad student loan forgiveness proposals effort a forgiveness of all federal student loan debt. In contrast to the broad student loan forgiveness proposals, in recent weeks, two narrow student loans forgiveness bills have been introduced. The HEROES Act H.R.6800 a nd the Student Loan Forgiveness for Frontline Healthca re Workers Act H.R.6720 focus on workers on the frontlines.

Aeuy Miniature artist carries on family s tiny tradition in Chicago House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has launched a formalimpeachment inquiryagainst President Joe Biden. These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, a nd they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives, said McCarthy.To impeach the president, the Republican-led House would have to approve of at least one impeachment charge against him by majority vote.But it s the latest sign impeachment has become normalized in the modern era, and the move is decried by critics as a political weapon rather than charges for high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment votes against the President have reached the House only four times in history: against Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and twice against Donald Trump in 2019 and 2021.The framers included the articles of impeachment to have a peaceful means of removing corrupt officials鈥?a final check on the executive and judiciary by legislative powers.That includes all levels, from presidents to Supreme Court justices to attorney generals at the state level.For example, in mid-September, Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton wasacquitted of impeachmentcharges under Texas statute for corruption and bribery.More than two-thirds of House Republicans had voted to open the inquiry in May, but only two Senate Republicans voted to convict.In a statement, Paxton called the process a sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration.

Zcqs Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons soar after weather concerns Former Congressman Chris Collins was sentenced Friday to 26 months in prison for his role in an insider trading scheme. He pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and lying to law enforcement officials.Collins, the first member of Congress to back President Trump, was indicted in August 2018 for using inside information about a biotechnology company to help his son make illicit stock trades. The indictment charged Collins, his son and the father of his son s fiancee with conspiracy, wire fra ud and other counts. Collins broke down in court on Friday, according to The Associated Press.

The two hikers had apparently dropped 100 feet along the ice-covered cliff bands of Dorr Mountain, Acadia National Park said.The hikers are believed to be a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Rutland, Massachusetts. They arrived in nearby Bar Harbor on March 16 and were last heard from on Thursday.Officials began searching for the two on Friday evening after family reported the hikers missing. Concerns arose when the hikers failed to check out of their hotel or return their rental car. The U.S. Coast Guard deployed a helicopter from Cape Cod and a ground search was conducted Saturday morning.Mount Desert Island Search and Rescue and a Main e Forest Service helicopter ultimately helped National Park Rangers locate the bodies.

She also didn t p rovide context in asserting that a greater level of citizenship data is needed to comply with the Voting Rights Act.The decision to include the question in the 2020 census has stirred worry among opponents that it will intimidate immigrants, leading to an undercount and decreased political representation in Democratic-leaning communities where they tend to live. Meantime, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who announced his department s move to change the 2020 census, appeared to skew the science behind his decision when he asserted that the impact of asking about citizenship had been well-tested.
