Democrats Unleash an Onslaught of Attacks, With Bloomberg the Main Target - The New York Times Posted: 19 Feb 2020 09:37 PM PST LAS VEGAS — The Democratic presidential candidates turned on one another in scorching and personal terms in a debate on Wednesday night, with two of the leading candidates, Senator Bernie Sanders and Michael R. Bloomberg, forced onto the defensive repeatedly throughout the evening. In his first appearance in a presidential debate, Mr. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, struggled from the start to address his past support for stop-and-frisk policing and the allegations he has faced over the years of crude and disrespectful behavior toward women. Time and again, Mr. Bloomberg had obvious difficulty countering criticism that could threaten him in a Democratic Party that counts women and African-Americans among its most important constituencies. Two candidates who have shied away from direct conflict in past debates, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., mounted something of a tag-team onslaught against Mr. Bloomberg, several times leaving him visibly irked and straining to respond. From the first seconds, when Mr. Sanders used the initial question to attack what he called Mr. Bloomberg's "outrageous" policing record, it was clear that this debate would be far more heated than any of the previous forums. The unrelenting attacks reflected the urgency of the moment, as Mr. Sanders gains strength and those hoping to slow his candidacy are increasingly crowded out by Mr. Bloomberg and his unprecedented spending spree. Ms. Warren landed the most stinging blows against Mr. Bloomberg throughout the debate, starting with an opening broadside that likened him to the figure most reviled among Democrats: President Trump. "I'd like to talk about who we're running against: a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians," Ms. Warren said. "And no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg." Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts landed the most stinging blows against Michael R. Bloomberg throughout the debate.Credit...Erin Schaff/The New York Times It was not only Mr. Sanders and Mr. Bloomberg who were subjected to withering criticism: Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., also engaged in a bitter and lengthy colloquy about foreign policy and their qualifications for the presidency, culminating in a sharp exchange in which Ms. Klobuchar asked Mr. Buttigieg if he was calling her "dumb." There was little in the debate to suggest that Mr. Sanders, the national front-runner and the favorite to win Nevada's caucuses on Saturday, had been knocked off balance, and the pile-on against Mr. Bloomberg had the potential to work in Mr. Sanders's favor by keeping the focus of hostilities elsewhere. But Mr. Sanders, too, was pressed to address some of the persistent questions about his candidacy, including whether he would release a fuller version of his medical records and why his candidacy appears to inspire uniquely vitriolic behavior by some of his supporters on the internet. Mr. Sanders, Vermont's junior senator, insisted that nearly all of his online fans were good and decent people, but said he would "disown those people" who behave in deplorable ways. Nobody acted with more urgency than Ms. Warren, who finished a distant fourth in New Hampshire after doing little to stand out in the debate there. She repeatedly inserted herself into main currents of the conversation. The challenge for her, though, is that her newfound vigor came after tens of thousands of Nevadans had already cast their ballots in early voting. It was Ms. Warren who initiated the exchange that may have damaged Mr. Bloomberg the most when she repeatedly demanded to know whether he would be willing to release some of the former female employees at his news media organization from the nondisclosure agreements they had signed. He declined to do so, calling the agreements "consensual," and minimized the underlying complaints by suggesting that the women merely "didn't like a joke I told." After pressing Mr. Bloomberg and leaving him flustered, but unable to coax him into releasing the women she said he had "muzzled," Ms. Warren then broadened her attack. "We are not going to beat Donald Trump with a man who has who-knows-how-many nondisclosure agreements and the drip, drip, drip of stories of women saying they have been harassed and discriminated against," she said. Before Mr. Bloomberg could even try to defend himself, Mr. Biden, who has seen the former New York mayor claim some of his support, gladly stepped in. "All the mayor has to say is, You are released from the N.D.A., period," Mr. Biden said, his voice rising. In what became, for both of them, their most energetic debate in months, Mr. Biden and Ms. Warren teamed up to confront Mr. Bloomberg about his record on policing, challenging his expressions of contrition about his years of strong support for invasive searches that disproportionately targeted black and Hispanic men. The unlikely duo wielded the same combination of indignation and inquisition that framed their argument about sexual harassment. "It's not whether he apologized or not, it's the policy," Mr. Biden said, accusing Mr. Bloomberg of discounting concerns raised by the Obama administration. As in most of the tough exchanges of the night, Mr. Bloomberg defended himself only up to a point: He explained that he was focused on protecting New Yorkers' "right to live," and in the process embraced a policing strategy he later came to regret. Looking back on his time as mayor, Mr. Bloomberg said, "the one thing I'm really worried about, embarrassed about, was how it turned out with stop and frisk." Ms. Warren jumped in to dissect that answer. "This isn't about how it turned out," she said. "This is about what it was designed to do, to begin with. It targeted communities of color." Top aides for Mr. Bloomberg acknowledged his lackluster performance, at least in the first hour of the two-hour forum, even as they boasted about how all of the attacks on him demonstrated the threat he poses. "It took him just 45 minutes in his first debate in 10 years to get his legs on the stage," Kevin Sheekey, Mr. Bloomberg's campaign manager, said in a statement after the debate. If Mr. Sanders appeared relatively unbruised Wednesday night, it was not clear that he did anything to put to rest the persistent reservations in the party about his prospects in a contest against Mr. Trump. He dismissed a moderator's question about polling that found Americans deeply wary of socialism as a political label, noting that the same polling found him leading Mr. Trump in a general election. Mr. Buttigieg and Mr. Bloomberg picked away at Mr. Sanders, with Mr. Bloomberg declaring that he would be a surefire loser in the general election and Mr. Buttigieg warning that it would be dangerous to nominate someone who "wants to burn the house down." After intraparty politesse prevailed in the first eight debates, when the harshest remarks onstage were usually reserved for Mr. Trump, the evident contempt some of these six candidates have for one another rang out like a jackpot in a slot machine on Wednesday. At no time was that more clear than when Ms. Klobuchar, who split the support of many moderate voters in New Hampshire with Mr. Buttigieg, was reminded by the former South Bend mayor that in a recent interview she had been unable to name the president of Mexico. "You're staking your candidacy on Washington experience," Mr. Buttigieg said, pointing out that all of the committees she serves on involve Mexico. "Are you trying to say I'm dumb — are you mocking me, Pete?" Ms. Klobuchar shot back, clearly stung. She then noted she had won all of her campaigns, while he had lost his sole statewide bid "by over 20 points." Later, Ms. Klobuchar said Mr. Buttigieg had simply "memorized a bunch of talking points" and had never been "in the arena." Both flashed sharp irritation, as Mr. Buttigieg criticized Ms. Klobuchar's support for certain Trump appointees and Ms. Klobuchar described his political accomplishments as minimal. "You don't have to be in Washington to matter," Mr. Buttigieg said, pointing to his tenure in the struggling city he sought to revive. At one point, Ms. Klobuchar answered Mr. Buttigieg with blunt sarcasm: "I wish everyone was as perfect as you, Pete," she said. Both were at risk of emerging from the debate weaker than they entered it, and at the end of the evening they had not clearly strengthened their claims to leadership of moderate forces in the Democratic coalition. Just as contentious were the exchanges between Mr. Bloomberg, the proud billionaire, and Mr. Sanders, the democratic socialist who has said billionaires should not exist. Mr. Sanders, who had a heart attack in the fall, answered a question about his personal health records by noting that Mr. Bloomberg has "two stents as well," prompting Mr. Bloomberg to say that his had been inserted two decades ago. And after Mr. Bloomberg said he made no apologies for his wealth because he had worked hard for his money, Mr. Sanders interjected: "Maybe your workers played some role in that as well." Mr. Bloomberg eventually confronted Mr. Sanders, saying it was "ridiculous" to suggest the country would "throw out capitalism." Turning even more personal, Mr. Bloomberg said, "What a wonderful country we have — the best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses." After listing his residences, Mr. Sanders turned back to Mr. Bloomberg and asked: "Which tax haven do you call home?" The sparring was hardly unanticipated. The rivalry between Mr. Sanders and Mr. Bloomberg has turned harshly personal this week, as their campaigns escalated a feud that both see as serving their political interests. On the morning of the debate, aides to Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Sanders were trading slashing criticism about the health of the two men, who are both 78 years old, and transparency about their medical histories. And in the days leading up to the debate, a number of the candidates denounced the personal attacks that Sanders supporters aimed at the female leaders of the influential union of Las Vegas's casino employees, the culinary workers' union, criticism that arose again at Wednesday's debate. If the other contenders are not able to slow Mr. Sanders in Nevada, he may gain enough momentum going into the Super Tuesday contests on March 3, when 15 states and territories will vote, to eventually claim the nomination. But if he falters here, it could throw the race open and create an opportunity for one or more of his rivals to assert themselves. Mr. Sanders's prominence in the race even drew a broadside from Ms. Warren, who has largely avoided tangling with him since entering the race. "His campaign relentlessly attacks everyone," she said, alluding to his supporters' scorn for those who do not support "Medicare for all." And then Ms. Warren made a reference to recent comments by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who said that Mr. Sanders might not be able to initially pass single-payer insurance. "His own advisers say, 'Eh, probably won't happen, anyways,'" she said. Mr. Sanders, though, did not return fire. And at the end of the evening, it was clear he had a larger goal in mind: claiming the Democratic nomination, even if he has accrued a plurality, but not a majority of delegates, by the end of the primary season. "I think that the will of the people should prevail, yes," he said. "The person who has the most votes should become the nominee." Let's block ads! (Why?)

Coronavirus live updates: China reports 114 additional deaths and 394 new cases - CNBC Posted: 19 Feb 2020 06:37 PM PST This is a live blog. Please check back for updates. All times below are in Beijing time. 10:07 am: China says there were 114 additional deaths and 394 new cases China's National Health Commission reported an additional 114 deaths, and 394 new confirmed cases as of Feb. 19. That brings the total deaths in the mainland to 2,118 and the confirmed cases to 74,576 cases. The number of new cases was drastically lower than the 1,749 reported the day before. Hubei reported 349 new confirmed cases, after the removal of 279 cases with negative nucleic acid test results. On Wednesday, China released the "No. 6 trial" measures for virus prevention and control, which removed a classification for Hubei that allowed the province to include a "clinically diagnosed" category. — Weizhen Tan, Evelyn Cheng 9:40 am: China cuts a key lending rate to help boost economy China's central bank cut the loan prime rate on Thursday in a widely-anticipated move that will help lower borrowing costs for businesses, and prop up the economy that is reeling from the virus outbreak. The one-year loan prime rate was reduced by 10-basis points — from 4.15% in January to 4.05% in February. The five-year LPR was lowered by 5-basis points — from 4.8% to 4.75%. The LPR is the interest rate that banks charge their most creditworthy customers. In August last year, the People's Bank of China changed the way commercial lenders set interest rates for loans. — Joanna Tan 9:12 am: South Korea says another 31 new cases found South Korea's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed another 31 new cases, bringing the total number of people infected to 82. One case was identified in the capital of Seoul, the rest were in the city of Daegu and the Gyengbuk province, KCDC said. — Joanna Tan 8:30 am: Australians on board the Diamond Princess return home for quarantine, more passengers to disembark More than 150 Australians have disembarked the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship docked off Japan, and have arrived back in their country, according to Reuters. They will serve out a two-week quarantine. They arrived in Darwin on Thursday morning, according to the report. A second group of about 600 passengers — Japanese and other nationalities — are set to disembark the ship on Thursday as well, according to a separate Reuters report. The Diamond Princess has been docked at Yokohama near Tokyo since Feb. 3, with an initial 3,700 passengers, and more than 600 have since been found infected. — Weizhen Tan 7:58 am: Hubei reports an additional 108 deaths bringing total fatalities in province to 2,029 Hubei's health authorities reported there were 108 additional fatalities on Feb. 19, bringing the total number of people who died in the province to 2,029. The Hubei Provincial Health Committee reported there were 349 new cases on Feb. 19 — down from 1,693 newly confirmed cases the day before. The commission stated that 349 was the final tally after deducting 279 cases from 10 Hubei cities. According to Reuters, the number of new cases reported daily is a net figure including such deductions. That means the number of new cases on Wednesday stood at 628, when the deductions were removed. The virus — believed to have first emerged from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province — has killed more than 2,000 people so far. Less than 10 people outside the mainland have died from the virus. — Joanna Tan A Chinese woman slides steam buns down a ramp used to prevent touching and contact as the customer takes his order at a local take out on February 19, 2020 in Beijing, China.

"If the global economy is as weak as I think it is in the first half of this year, that points to a pretty serious reckoning for frothy financial markets," the former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman said on "Closing Bell." Investors have been trying to make sense of what the coronavirus means for businesses since late January. And yet, the market has only seen a few pullbacks in that stretch as the major U.S. stock indexes continue to set fresh highs. — Stankiewicz 4:23 pm: Goldman says market underestimating virus risk: 'Correction is looking much more probable' Goldman Sachs sounded the alarm to clients about a possible correction in the stock market, noting investors are underestimating how big of a risk the coronavirus really is. "We believe the greater risk is that the impact of the coronavirus on earnings may well be underestimated in current stock prices, suggesting that the risks of a correction are high," strategist Peter Oppenheimer wrote in a note. Oppenheimer thinks the market could be in trouble if earnings expectations aren't ratcheted down. "Equity markets are looking increasingly exposed to near-term downward surprises to earnings growth," said Oppenheimer. "While a sustained bear market does not look likely, a near-term correction is looking much more probable." — Imbert A worker at a factory in Nanjing sorting face masks being produced to satisfy increased demand during China's COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, in China's Jiangsu province.

Travelers to Hong Kong should avoid contact with sick people, the CDC said, and regularly wash their hands. It is the CDC's lowest-level travel warning, but it is the first coronavirus-related travel notice issued by the U.S. government for a territory beyond mainland China. — Feuer Read CNBC's coverage from the U.S. overnight: Fed sees risk to global growth, markets face 'pretty serious reckoning' — CNBC's Fred Imbert, Kevin Stankiewicz contributed to this report.

DT CEO sees light at end of tunnel with T-Mobile/Sprint combo - FierceWireless Posted: 19 Feb 2020 06:23 PM PST The CEO of T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom (DT) is ready to take on AT&T and Verizon in more ways than one now that the combination of T-Mobile US and Sprint has been approved by U.S. District Court Judge Victor Marrero. The $26.5 billion deal has not quite closed, but DT CEO Timotheus Höttges said during DT's earnings call on Wednesday that getting the deal done puts the company on an equal footing and in a position to ramp up its attacks on the competition in the U.S. DT is based in Bonn, Germany.  "We see a light at the end of the tunnel … Our attempt is going to be the No. 1 in the U.S.," he said, adding that they're now working through the remaining steps of the transaction and hope to close with Sprint parent SoftBank in the second quarter 2020.

Not surprisingly, he applauded Judge Marrero's decision, advising anyone who has enough time to "please have a read" of the 179 pages of the document. "I'm very impressed," said Höttges, who was called as one of the witnesses during the trial in December.   But even without the merger, T-Mobile has been on solid footing. "For the first time in history, the U.S. team is ahead of AT&T and Verizon," he said, with T-Mobile's 600 MHz spectrum already deployed to reach almost 200 million households, which is ahead of the others in 5G. That's quite different from where DT and T-Mobile US started. Höttges reviewed the "unprecedented" turnaround that occurred in the U.S. over the past decade. DT started in 2011 with shrinking U.S. operations and plans to sell. Between 2010 and 2019, T-Mobile US, with heavy backing from DT, invested a total of about $54 billion, evolving the company into a "king maker asset" and raising T-Mobile US' market cap from around $11 billion in 2013 to around $82 billion most recently—more than a 7-fold increase. DT's stake is worth over $50 billion. In prepared remarks, he noted that AT&T has a market capitalization of $274 billion and Verizon's market cap is at $242 billion. The new T-Mobile would have a market cap of almost $120 billion at today's rate, a difference of almost $120 billion. "I see no reason why this [difference] cannot be reduced considerably," he said. He also called out the management team in the U.S. "We have Mike Sievert on board in the United States. Mike masterminded the Un-carrier strategy and is the ideal CEO to lead T-Mobile US into a new era," he said. "We all knew that a handover was imminent. But the question of when was particularly difficult in this case, because nobody embodies the T brand quite like John Legere, whom we have a great deal to thank for. But we also wanted everyone involved in the merger to know exactly what was going on in this respect." At the time Legere's departure was announced last year, some questioned the timing of it, happening before the start of the trial in Judge Marrero's courtroom. Legere explained during a conference call in November that with his contract ending in April, one argument at trial could be that T-Mobile's numerous promises (conditioned on deal approval) could fall by the wayside under potential new leadership that might not be committed to the strategy. They wanted all the chips on the table before the trial began.  RELATED: NY AG won't pursue appeal in T-Mobile/Sprint decision Speaking on CNBC on Wednesday, Höttges declined to comment on whether DT would seek a different price given the value of Sprint has declined since the deal was consummated. Investment analysts have been waiting to hear what T-Mobile and the other players are going to do on that front. Höttges dodged that question and said it's the biggest transaction in the telco space in the last 10 years, and "we're going to build the best 5G network."   Let's block ads! (Why?)

Simsbury’s one-two punch at goal; Possible road trip for FCIAC rivals - The Advocate Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:57 PM PST Back on opening night, after his Simsbury team had defeated defending state champion New Canaan 3-2, coach Paul Melanson was clear that he had faith in both of his goalies, who had split time in that game. "They're two great goalies and I trust both of them," Melanson said. "They're competing with each other but also supporting each other to be better." What could be a difficult situation for some teams has developed into a strength for the state's first-place team. Junior Tori LaCroix and sophomore Kaitlyn O'Brien have excelled for No. 1 Simsbury, helping the Trojans post six shutouts while allowing just 22 goals in 18 games. Simsbury (15-1-2) has allowed more than two goals just twice - first in a 3-1 loss to Darien and then in a 7-4 win over West Haven/SHA - and the Trojans' defense appears to be among the strongest in the state with the postseason approaching. The dynamic between the two goalies has helped. "It has been one of mutual respect," Melanson said. "And they are competing with each other in a positive way where each pushes themselves to improve each practice."

Photo: Christian Abraham / Hearst Connecticut Media Simsbury's one-two punch at goal; Possible road trip for FCIAC rivals Back to Gallery This isn't a situation with one goalie playing against the top powers and the other mopping up against the rest. During the past few games, LaCroix made 25 saves and pitched a 1-0 shutout against No. 3 Greenwich on Feb. 11, while O'Brien made 21 saves and blanked New Canaan in a scoreless tie on Monday. The defense in front of the goalies has played a large role in their success, with senior Mackenzie Lynch starring alongside a sophomore corps of Molly Walsh, Ashleigh Dumont, Anna Kahl, Piper Golden-Jarrell and Lucy Humphreys. Melanson hasn't decided who will start against different opponents for the postseason, but it's clear Simsbury is in good hands in either case. "It is a comfort knowing that if one isn't feeling well or having an off night, the other can step right in," Melanson said. ROAD-TRIPPING RIVALS The New Canaan vs. Darien ice hockey rivalry has provided many memorable moments over the years. Next winter, they may be taking a road trip together. According to New Canaan coach Rich Bulan, the Rams and Blue Wave are hoping to set up a weekend in Rhode Island with games against La Salle Academy and Barrington. The two teams rank at the top of Rhode Island's Div. I standings, La Salle (16-5 overall, 14-0 RI) at No. 1, and Barrington (14-3-1, 11-3) at No. 2. Bulan said Darien coach Jamie Tropsa came up with the idea and the teams will try to find a suitable weekend for the games. "We're trying to work something out - Jamie had a great suggestion and we all got on board — us and Darien going up there next year for a weekend," Bulan said. "Darien owes Barrington a game and I owe La Salle a game, so both teams could go there together on a Friday and play both teams on Friday and Saturday." Darien hosted Barrington on Jan. 26 and the teams played to a 3-3 tie, with Barrington rallying from a three-goal deficit. New Canaan shut out La Salle, 2-0, on Saturday at the Darien Ice House. With many girls ice hockey teams setting up more out-of-state games, a possible weekend series in Rhode Island could be another great showcase. "We've all gotten to the point, not only in boys hockey but with the girls too — it's so much better for our programs and ice hockey in the state to play these teams," Bulan said. "Playing those games against those teams makes my team so much better." ETB A-OK WITH CALDON For the second time in two weeks, the state featured a 60-save performance from one of the area's top goaltenders. Senior Caitlyn Caldon of the East Catholic/Glastonbury/South Windsor (ETB) co-op racked up 60 stops against 61 shots during a 1-1 tie with Greenwich at Hamill Rink on Saturday, a game which featured two teams bound for the state tournament. The lone goal Greenwich scored came after Caldon had been knocked down and her helmet came off. Lying on the ice, Caldon covered her face for protection as the Cardinals scored. A transfer, Caldon has been quite a find for ETB this season. She owns a .943 save percentage, a 1.63 goals against average, and has several impressive games against top teams, including 40 saves in a 3-1 loss to Darien, 35 saves in a 1-1 tie against Amity, and 20 saves in a 2-0 shutout of New Canaan. "She really has become quite a goaltender in her senior season," coach Frank Usseglio said. "She handles the puck better than any tender I have ever had before, high school or club. She is like a third defenseman at times." EPKE AT 100 Guilford sophomore Maddie Epke had the season's most spectacular offensive performance when she had five goals and two assists in a come-from-behind 7-6 overtime victory against West Haven/SHA at Webster Bank Arena on Jan. 24. Last Thursday, she added another career highlight when she reached the 100-point threshold during an 8-2 win over the Daniel Hand co-op at East Haven's Veterans Rink. Epke had a hat trick and one assist in the game, and has rapidly reached triple-digits in points, with two-plus years still to come. The milestone also came one day after she scored five times in an 8-4 victory against Hamden. One more note about Guilford: It's next game is a rematch of the dramatic win over West Haven/SHA, as the two teams will clash at 6:30 p.m., Friday, at Bennett Rink. david.stewart @hearstmediact.com; @dstewartsports Let's block ads!

Esther Scott, ‘Boyz N the Hood’ Actress, Dies at 66 - The New York Times Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:42 PM PST Esther Scott, an actress who specialized in playing matriarchal roles in films and television shows — most notably in "Boyz N the Hood" and "Dreamgirls" — died on Friday at the U.C.L.A. Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was 66. Ms. Scott had a heart attack and was found unconscious in her Santa Monica, Calif., home on Feb. 11, said her sister Shaun Scott, who confirmed her death. Esther Scott made a career of being the familiar face of nurturing but sometimes strict characters in over 70 movies and many TV shows. In "Boyz N the Hood," the 1991 movie about the challenges young black men faced growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Ms. Scott played the grandmother of the protagonist's love interest. She chases the young man out of her granddaughter's bedroom while wielding a meat cleaver. In 2006's "Dreamgirls," Ms. Scott portrayed Curtis Taylor Jr.'s aunt Ethel. Mr. Taylor is a record executive played by Jamie Foxx, and his aunt watches over his children. Ms. Scott played an asylum nurse in "The Craft" (1996) and a judge in "Austin Powers: Goldmember" (2002). She also had roles in "Martin," "Sister, Sister" and "The Wayans Bros.," among other TV shows. Fans usually recognized her on the street but did not remember her name, her sister said. Shaun Scott remembers seeing her sister most excited for her role as Bridget Turner in "The Birth of a Nation," the 2016 movie about Nat Turner, a slave who led a rebellion in Virginia in 1831. Ms. Scott played Mr. Turner's paternal grandmother, who taught him how to read and write. "She was really looking forward to that particular role," Shaun Scott said. "I remember her being excited. She thought that the time was right to tell the story." Esther Scott was born on April 13, 1953, in Flushing, Queens. Soon after, the family moved to Brooklyn. Ms. Scott attended the Bronx High School of Science, where her sister said she caught the acting bug. "She was just about in every play that they had, that I can recall," Shaun Scott said. "She might have been bitten by the bug even earlier than that." Ms. Scott moved to California and graduated from San Francisco State University, where she received a degree in theater arts, her sister said. After filming "Boyz N the Hood," many other matronly roles followed for Ms. Scott — but there was one she simply could not fill. "She tried to be motherly with me, but we bumped heads on that," Shaun Scott said, laughing. In addition to her sister Shaun, Esther Scott is survived by her mother, Sandra Grant. Another sister, Valerie J. Love, died in 2015. Over all, regardless of how small or large the role was, Ms. Scott was happy to do what she loved, her sister said. "She enjoyed all of her roles," Shaun Scott said. "She was excited about working." Let's block ads! (Why?)

China's Xi Jinping, under fire from virus outbreak, could also face an 'economic crisis' - CNBC Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:37 PM PST Chinese President Xi Jinping, inspects the novel coronavirus prevention and control work in Beijing on Feb. 10, 2020. Xinhua News Agency Already under heavy fire as the coronavirus outbreak shutters factories, disrupts supply chains and is set to shock China's already-slowing economy, Chinese President Xi Jinping, it seems, is also under pressure to still deliver the country's promised growth. In a speech delivered Feb. 3 and released over the weekend, Xi said: "Currently, we still have to deliver this year's economic and social targets." Last year, China's growth dropped to its slowest pace in nearly three decades. Xi, according to a translation of his remarks, said those tasks must still be "done well," with a message for provinces — other than those most severely affected by the outbreak — to keep a balancing act: Control the epidemic, but make sure they are fulfilling reform and development goals. The Chinese government could face an "economic crisis" if the outbreak doesn't abate, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) wrote in a note last Friday, before the Xi speech was published. Public frustration could "escalate dangerously" if the outbreak proves to be uncontrollable by the end of March, EIU wrote. It said the economic costs of China's shutdown as it seeks to contain the epidemic will be apparent at that point. "At that point, the central authorities will not have room to pin the blame on local officials, given that they will have been directing the crisis response for longer than two months," the EIU note said, adding it could be why Xi is now taking "more personal control" over the crisis. Earlier this month, over half of China extended shutdowns to contain the outbreak. Last year, those parts of China accounted for more than 80% of national GDP and 90% of exports. That disruption of the world's manufacturing hub has severely hit supply chains globally, with companies still dealing with the fallout. As China struggles to get back on its feet, with factories starting to reopen and workers trickling back, progress is slow. Returning workers need to follow quarantine orders, meaning factories are still operating at limited capacity. "Many smaller companies have stated that they will not be able to survive beyond the first quarter of the year in the current business climate," the EIU wrote. "Besides a health crisis, the authorities could face an economic crisis, with implications for incomes and jobs." A Macquarie economist, in a Monday note, said it is "surprising" that China would still insist on its original growth target of 6% for this year. "(Given) the Coronavirus, it's a bit surprising why policymakers don't want to revise down the target for this year. Maybe it's for the sake of expectation management; maybe they believe that the recovery this time would be as strong as the one after SARS," wrote Macquarie economist Larry Hu. "In any case, given Xi's speech, policymakers are likely to stick to the original target." As the outbreak unfolded, many analysts have downgraded China's growth for this year. In 2019, China's full-year GDP growth was 6.1%, down from 6.6% the year before. Before the virus hit, analysts had already predicted that growth for the world's second-largest economy would slow to below its 6% target. But earlier this month, they downgraded it further, with estimates ranging between 4.9% and 5.6%. Xi reportedly warned top officials earlier this month that efforts to contain the outbreak have gone too far and are damaging the economy, according to a Reuters report. Citing sources, the report said Xi told officials some of the shutdown measures have not been practical and have sown fear among the public, and discouraged them from imposing "more restrictive measures." In the last few weeks, China has rolled out more measures to support companies hurt by the crisis. That includes trotting out more funding as well as lenders supplying billions in credit. Its central bank also said lenders in the country will tolerate more bad loans. This week, it cut rates on medium-term loans. "At this stage, the most likely policy options are to cut rates and provide targeted easing to impacted companies and areas," said Hu.

東京地裁がユニバーサルエンターテインメントの請求を全面的に認め、岡田和生氏に約2,130万円の支払いを命じる - IAG Japan Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:29 PM PST 　東京地方裁判所は、日本の「カジノ王」、岡田和生氏に対して、同氏が創業し、以前会長を務めていた株式会社ユニバーサルエンターテインメントに2,129万3,712円の損害賠償を支払うよう命じる判決を下した。 　岡田氏に対して上記金額に対する平成29年12月29日から支払い済みまで年5分の割合と訴訟費用の支払いも求めるこの判決が下されたのは、岡田氏が同社に対して3件の不正行為を行なっていたことが判明したユニバーサルの社内調査を受けて最初に訴訟が提起されてから2年以上が経過してからのこととなる。 　ユニバーサルは当時、「岡田氏が行なった3件の不正行為に関して、同氏の当社取締役としての任務懈怠により当社が被った損害の一部について、損害賠償請求を行うもの」と述べていた。 　問題の3件の不正行為は、(1)2015年に岡田氏の関与の下、個人的な用途の資金に充てるために無利子・無担保でユニバーサルの子会社であるTiger Resort Asia Limited （以下、TRA)から第三者に1億3,500万香港ドルの貸し付けを行なったこと、(2)TRAから無許可で名宛人無記名の1,600万香港ドルの小切手を振り出したこと、(3)個人的な利益を図る目的で、韓国の統合型リゾートプロジェクトの土地購入の事業主体を、TRAの子会社であるUE韓国から自身が100％所有するOkada Holdings Korea co.、ltd（以下、OHL韓国）に変更したことだった。Okada HDはその後、OHL韓国が韓国の土地を購入するための頭金を捻出するために、UE韓国の預金を担保として提供させて8,000万米ドル（約88億4,662万円）を借り入れ、さらにその利息および手数料に相当する17万3,562.23米ドルを経営コンサルタント料の名目でUE韓国に請求した。 　TRAは、今でも創業者の名前を冠するフィリピンの統合型リゾート「オカダ・マニラ」を運営するタイガーリゾートレジャーアンドエンターテインメントインクの過半数株主。 　今週東京地裁の判決の詳細を発表したユニバーサルは、「本判決は、本件不正行為が岡田氏の指示の下に行われたものであることを認定した上で、岡田氏に、当社の取締役としての善管注意義務違反ないし忠実義務違反があったと認めた」と述べた。 　岡田氏は、別居中の妻である幸子氏と息子の知裕氏が反対派に回った2017年6月の株主投票の後で、ユニバーサルの会長を解任され取締役の座を追われていた。 Let's block ads!

First Edition: February 18, 2020 - Kaiser Health News Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:07 PM PST Today's early morning highlights from the major news organizations. Kaiser Health News: Ink Rx? Welcome To The Camouflaged World Of Paramedical Tattoos  The first fingernail tattoo started off as a joke by a man who lost the tips of two fingers in a construction accident in 2018. But that shifted after Eric Catalano, an auto finance manager turned tattoo artist, finished with his needle."The mood changed in here," Catalano recalled as he stood in his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. "Everything turned from funny to wow." (Anthony, 2/18) Kaiser Health News: Abortion-Rights Supporters Fear Loss Of Access If Adventist Saves Hospital For more than two years, physician assistant Dawn Hofberg fought to bring access to abortions back to California's Mendocino Coast, a picturesque stretch of shoreline about three hours north of San Francisco and 90 minutes from the nearest facility offering abortions. Hofberg enlisted help from local health care providers and the American Civil Liberties Union, which sent letters to the Mendocino Coast Health Care District that operates the hospital in Fort Bragg and other medical services. The letters noted that the state constitution requires public hospitals to offer abortions if they offer other pregnancy-related care. (Littlefield, 2/18) Reuters: U.S. Flies 338 Americans Home From Cruise Ship, Including 14 With Coronavirus More than 300 Americans who had been stuck on a cruise ship affected by the coronavirus were back in the United States on Monday, flown to U.S. military bases for two more weeks of quarantine after spending the previous 14 days docked in Japan. Among those repatriated on a pair of U.S.-chartered jets were 14 people who tested positive for the fast-spreading virus, seven on each plane. The Diamond Princess cruise ship held by far the largest cluster of cases outside China, with more than 400 people infected out of some 3,700 on board. (Trotta and Rose, 2/17) The Washington Post: Coronavirus: Fourteen American Cruise Passengers With Coronavirus Among 328 Evacuated To The U.S. The 14 U.S. passengers tested positive for the virus after disembarking from the Diamond Princess, a cruise liner carrying 2,666 passengers and 1,045 crew members that had been quarantined for two weeks off the Japanese port of Yokohama. But by the time their test results arrived, they were already on a fleet of buses that took 328 asymptomatic passengers from the ship to two charter planes bound for U.S. military bases in Texas and California, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about the incident. It was a wrench in a coordinated effort. While the buses sat on the tarmac, health experts mulled whether to put the 14 on the flights or divert them to hospitals in Japan, the official said. (Fifield, Horton and Bhattarai, 2/17) The Wall Street Journal: Coronavirus Cruise Passengers Land In U.S., Including 14 Infected The U.S. initially said no one with the virus would be allowed on the repatriation flights. But during the 40-minute bus ride from the ship to the airport, word arrived that 14 passengers in the group had tested positive based on tests conducted two days before the evacuation, U.S. officials said. Rather than turn them back, officials decided to seat the 14 in an isolated section apart from other plane passengers, according to a joint statement by the State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services. The statement said the infected passengers didn't have symptoms of the viral disease and would be sent to "an appropriate location for continued isolation and care" in the U.S. (Bhattacharya, 2/17) The New York Times: They Escaped An Infected Ship, But The Flight Home Was No Haven The ground rules were clear. A day before 328 Americans were to be whisked away from a contaminated cruise ship in Japan, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo told passengers that no one infected with the coronavirus would be allowed to board charter flights to the United States. But as the evacuees began filing onto two reconfigured cargo planes early Monday for departures to military bases in California or Texas, some noticed tented areas separated from the rest of the cabin. (Rich and Wong, 2/17) NPR: 14 Americans Taken Off Cruise Ship And Flown To U.S. Test Positive For Coronavirus A second cruise ship, the MS Westerdam, docked in Cambodia on Thursday after it was turned away by several other countries. Cruise operator Holland America said passengers and crew were screened for illness and that "there was no indication of COVID-19 on the ship." Cambodian officials allowed people onboard to disembark. (Booker and Wamsley, 2/17) The New York Times: Coronavirus Infection Found After Cruise Ship Passengers Disperse Amid assurances that the ship was disease free, hundreds of elated passengers disembarked. Some went sightseeing, visiting beaches and restaurants and getting massages. Others traveled on to destinations around the world. One, however, did not make it much farther than the thermal scanners at the Kuala Lumpur airport in Malaysia. The passenger, an American, was stopped on Saturday, and later tested positive for the coronavirus. On Sunday, with passengers already headed for destinations on at least three continents, health officials were scrambling to determine how big a problem they now have — and how to stop it from getting bigger. (Paddock, Wee and Rabin, 2/16) Reuters: Hospital Director Dies In China's Wuhan, Epicenter Of Coronavirus Outbreak The head of a leading hospital in China's central city of Wuhan, the epicenter of a coronavirus outbreak, died of the disease on Tuesday, state television said, becoming the second prominent Chinese doctor to have succumbed to the pathogen. Liu Zhiming, the director of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital, died at 10:30 a.m., it said. Earlier this month, millions in China mourned the death of Li Wenliang, a doctor who was previously reprimanded for issuing an early warning about the coronavirus. (2/18) The New York Times: Rate Of New Fatalities Drops In China China's National Health Commission on Monday reported 2,048 new cases of coronavirus infections and 105 new deaths over the previous 24 hours. The number of new deaths dropped from the previous day, when 142 deaths were reported, though the increase in the number of new infections remained steady. The vast majority of cases and deaths have occurred in Hubei Province, where the outbreak began, though the commission's latest announcement also reported three deaths in neighboring Henan Province and two in Guangdong, the province next to Hong Kong. (2/16) The Washington Post: China Cases Will Plateau, Expert Predicts, As Diamond Princess Evacuation Continues  Officials have been sounding a more upbeat note in recent days about the prospects for containing the virus. But a renowned Chinese pulmonologist who predicted a peak this month has since clarified his remarks to say that the peak may be followed by a plateau, rather than an outright fall in cases. Here is what we know so far. (Fifield, 2/18) The Associated Press: Chinese Health Report Says 80% Of Virus Cases Have Been Mild Health officials in China have published the first details on nearly 45,000 cases of the novel coronavirus disease that originated there, saying more than 80% have been mild and new ones seem to be falling since early this month, although it's far too soon to tell whether the outbreak has peaked. Monday's report from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention gives the World Health Organization a "clearer picture of the outbreak, how it's developing and where it's headed," WHO's director-general said at a news conference. (Marchione, 2/16) The Associated Press: New Virus Cases Fall; WHO Says China Bought The World Time China reported 143 virus deaths and a dip in new cases Saturday while the head of the World Health Organization praised the country's efforts to contain the new disease, saying they have "bought the world time" and that other nations must make the most of it. France, meanwhile, reported Europe's first death from the new virus, a Chinese tourist from Hubei province, where the disease emerged in December. The United States was preparing to fly home American passengers quarantined aboard a cruise ship in Japan. (Wang, 2/14) Stat: The Responders: Who Is Leading The Charge In The Coronavirus Outbreak As concerns mount over the coronavirus that first emerged in China, public health officials there and around the globe have launched a massive response. The nature of that response has varied. In China, officials are trying to contain the virus. In countries that have seen local transmission, including Germany and Singapore, the goal has been to stamp out flare-ups. And in much of the world that hasn't yet seen much spread of the virus yet, public health officials are readying a strategy in case they do. (Joseph and Branswell, 2/17) Stat: Disease Modelers Gaze Into Their Computers To See The Future Of Covid-19, And It Isn't Good At least 550,000 cases. Maybe 4.4 million. Or something in between. Like weather forecasters, researchers who use mathematical equations to project how bad a disease outbreak might become are used to uncertainties and incomplete data, and Covid-19, the disease caused by the new-to-humans coronavirus that began circulating in Wuhan, China, late last year, has those everywhere you look. That can make the mathematical models of outbreaks, with their wide range of forecasts, seem like guesswork gussied up with differential equations; the eightfold difference in projected Covid-19 cases in Wuhan, calculated by a team from the U.S. and Canada, isn't unusual for the early weeks of an outbreak of a never-before-seen illness. (Begley, 2/14) The New York Times: France Confirms First Death In Europe From Coronavirus A Chinese tourist has died in France of the coronavirus, the French health minister said on Saturday, becoming the outbreak's first fatality in Europe and outside Asia. France's health minister, Agnès Buzyn, said the tourist, who was 80 years old and from the Chinese province of Hubei, the center of the outbreak, died at the Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital in Paris on Friday after weeks of hospitalization. His daughter, who also has the virus, is receiving treatment and is expected to be discharged soon, Ms. Buzyn said. (Peltier, 2/15) CNN: "Credible Risk" of Coronavirus Pandemic, Says French Health Minister French health minister Olivier Veran said on Tuesday there is a "credible risk" the novel coronavirus outbreak could turn into a pandemic. "This is a working assumption and a credible risk and France is ready to deal with all possible outcomes," Veran told French radio network, France Inter. "We have a very strong health system," Veran added. (Vandoome, 2/18) The Associated Press: Questions Complicate Efforts To Contain New Virus From China Reports one day suggest the respiratory outbreak in China might be slowing, the next brings word of thousands more cases. Even the experts have whiplash in trying to determine if the epidemic is getting worse, or if a backlog of the sick is finally getting counted. Continuing questions about the new virus are complicating health authorities' efforts to curtail its spread around the world. And the United States is taking the first steps to check that cases masquerading as the flu won't be missed, another safeguard on top of travel restrictions and quarantines. (Neergaard, 2/15) The New York Times: How To Stop A Disease From Crossing Borders In nearly 20 years with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rear Adm. Nancy Knight, director of the agency's global health protection division, has led the development, coordination and implementation of public health policies and programs in countries including Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. Before joining the C.D.C., Dr. Knight was a Peace Corps volunteer in Lesotho and trained as a family physician. (Mzezewa, 2/17) The Wall Street Journal: How Many People Might One Person With Coronavirus Infect? When an infection erupts the way coronavirus has exploded in Wuhan, China, and elsewhere in the world, public-health experts try to gauge the potential for an epidemic—or, worse, a pandemic—by calculating the pathogen's basic reproduction number. The figure, generally written as R0 and pronounced "R naught," is an estimate of how many healthy people one contagious person will infect. Because viruses spread exponentially, a few cases can quickly blow up to an overwhelming number. An R0 of two suggests a single infection will, on average, become two, then four, then eight. (McGinty, 2/16) The Wall Street Journal: Gilead's Coronavirus Drug Trial Slowed By Lack Of Eligible Recruits Clinical trials being conducted in Wuhan to test Gilead Sciences Inc.'s antiviral drug, a promising remedy for the new coronavirus, are going more slowly than hoped for as the drugmaker struggles to recruit qualified patients, underscoring the challenges in quickly developing drugs during outbreaks. The trials, aimed at testing more than 700 patients infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, have succeeded in recruiting fewer than 200 people after 10 days. (2/18) Politico: Europe Braces For Coronavirus-Induced Drug Shortages At this moment, the novel coronavirus outbreak isn't causing problems for Europe's medicines supply. But that's almost certain to change, industry experts warn — and at the worst possible time. Two weeks after the COVID-2019 spread was declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization, it shows no signs of abating. As of February 13, the WHO said there were almost 47,000 lab-confirmed cases of the virus, most of them in China, which has quarantined tens of millions to contain the spread. (Wheaton and Paun, 2/14) The New York Times: Senator Tom Cotton Repeats Fringe Theory Of Coronavirus Origins The rumor appeared shortly after the new coronavirus struck China and spread almost as quickly: that the outbreak now afflicting people around the world had been manufactured by the Chinese government. The conspiracy theory lacks evidence and has been dismissed by scientists. But it has gained an audience with the help of well-connected critics of the Chinese government such as Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump's former chief strategist. And on Sunday, it got its biggest public boost yet. (Stevenson, 2/17) The Washington Post: Tom Cotton Repeats Debunked Conspiracy Theory About Coronavirus Cotton referenced a laboratory in the city, the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, in an interview on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures." He said the lab was near a market some scientists initially thought was a starting point for the virus's spread. "We don't know where it originated, and we have to get to the bottom of that," Cotton said. "We also know that just a few miles away from that food market is China's only biosafety level 4 super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases." (Firozi, 2/17) The New York Times: 'Are You Sick?' For Asian-Americans, A Sneeze Brings Suspicion Most Americans have gone about their lives, confident that they have little to fear from an epidemic that has mostly been felt abroad. But for small pockets of people — those who come from China, or travel there frequently, and health workers who are charged with battling the virus — life has been upended. Hundreds of Americans who were in China are now marooned in anxious quarantine on military bases. And many Asian-Americans in the United States have felt an unnerving public scrutiny, noticing that a simple cough or sneeze can send people around them scattering. (Bosman, Stockman and Fuller, 2/16) The Associated Press: Home Quarantine For Travelers Buys Time As New Virus Spreads On his return from China last week, Dr. Ian Lipkin quarantined himself in his basement. His wife now puts his food on the stairs. He's run out of things to watch on Netflix. At odd hours, he walks in New York's Central Park, keeping 10 feet away from others. Lipkin is among hundreds of people in the U.S. and thousands around the world who, although not sick, live in semi-voluntary quarantine at home. With attention focused on quarantined cruise ships and evacuees housed on U.S. military bases, those in their own homes have largely escaped notice. (2/16) The Wall Street Journal: Coronavirus Cabin Fever: Working From Home Tests Employees' Endurance As David Chang tried to talk on the phone with a colleague, his daughter banged away at the study-room door, and then, exasperated, slipped a note under it: She wanted to come in and do her homework. "Love you Avery. Love you Aidan. I'm on a call," the real-estate executive wrote back. His reply returned with the 6-year-old's response scribbled on the back: "Why didn't you read my note?" (Yoon, 2/17) The New York Times: Slowed By The Coronavirus, China Inc. Struggles To Reopen Airbus is slowly restarting its assembly line in China. General Motors began limited production on Saturday. Toyota followed on Monday morning. Fitfully and painfully — and with some worried prodding from Beijing — China is trying to reopen for business. The world's second-largest economy practically shut down three weeks ago as a viral outbreak sickened tens of thousands of people, unexpectedly lengthening a Chinese holiday. The freeze set off warnings that the global economy could be in jeopardy if the world's pre-eminent manufacturing powerhouse stayed shut for long. (Bradsher, 2/17) The New York Times: The Next Hurdle For Bernie Sanders: Nevada's Top Union Dislikes 'Medicare For All' Senator Bernie Sanders is a longtime supporter of "Medicare for all." "I wrote the damn bill," he said on a debate stage last summer, and his support for universal health care has helped propel him to the front of the 2020 Democratic field. But in Nevada, where the race heads next, his signature policy is a liability with the largest labor union in the state. And the union has enthusiastic allies in Mr. Sanders's opponents. On Friday morning, moments after Senator Amy Klobuchar finished a tour of the health care facility run by the culinary workers' union, she began to lace into Mr. Sanders and his focus on the proposal, which would effectively eliminate union members' current health care system. (Medina and Martin, 2/16) The Associated Press: Biden In Vegas Takes On Sanders' Gun Votes In Fiery Speech Joe Biden, standing on a Las Vegas stage roughly 1,000 feet from the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, took on White House rival Bernie Sanders for his past vote to exempt gun manufacturers from liability for shootings. The former vice president devoted the majority of his Saturday night speech at a Democratic gala on the Las Vegas Strip to deliver a fiery charge against the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers, vowing to hold gun makers accountable if elected president. (Price and Peoples, 2/15) The New York Times: Biden Calls On Sanders To Show Accountability For 'Outrageous' Online Threats By Followers Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. took aim at Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on Saturday, calling on him to condemn the "vicious, malicious, misogynistic" rhetoric of some Sanders supporters and to do more to stamp it out. The remarks came at a key time for both campaigns, as Mr. Biden tries to regain his footing after weak showings in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary — in which Mr. Sanders surged toward the front of the Democratic pack — and a week before next Saturday's Nevada caucuses. (Kaplan, Ruiz and Gabriel, 2/15) The Wall Street Journal: Democrats Storm Nevada Ahead Of High-Stakes Caucuses Mr. Buttigieg, a 38-year-old military veteran, has sought to present himself as a candidate who could bring together the disparate factions within the party and present a striking alternative to President Trump. He has tussled with Mr. Sanders on a central issue of the campaign: Medicare for All, in which the party's left wants to move everyone from private insurance to government-provided health coverage, while centrists call for a more gradual shift. "A campaign message that says that you've either got to be for the revolution or you must be for the status quo, most of us don't know where we fit in that picture," Mr. Buttigieg said in Reno on Monday. "I'm here to draw a bigger picture, one where all of us can belong." (Thomas, 2/17) The New York Times: Democrats Plan To Highlight Health Care And Jobs Over Investigating Trump House Democrats, recovering from their failed push to remove President Trump from office, are making a sharp pivot to talking about health care and economic issues, turning away from their investigations of the president as they focus on preserving their majority. Top Democrats say that oversight of the president will continue, and they plan in particular to press Attorney General William P. Barr over what they say are Mr. Trump's efforts to compromise the independence of the Justice Department. But for now, at least, they have shelved the idea of subpoenaing Mr. Trump's former national security adviser, who was a central figure in the president's impeachment trial. (Stolberg, 2/16) The New York Times: The Health System We'd Have If Economists Ran Things Imagine if American health policy were established by the consensus of health economists. What would the system look like? A survey of nearly 200 Ph.D. health economists working in the United States provides some clues. The survey, presented at the American Society of Health Economists conference in Washington last summer, was conducted by the health economists John Cawley of Cornell University, Michael Morrisey of Texas A&M and Kosali Simon of Indiana University. (Frakt, 2/17) The New York Times: Appeals Court Rejects Trump Medicaid Work Requirements In Arkansas A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a lower court's ruling striking down work rules for Medicaid recipients in Arkansas, casting more doubt over broader Trump administration efforts to require poor people to work, volunteer or train for a job as a condition of getting government health coverage. A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that approval of the Arkansas work requirement by the health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar, was "arbitrary and capricious" because it did not address how the program would promote the objective of Medicaid as defined under federal law: providing health coverage to the poor. (Goodnough, 2/14) The Associated Press: Appeals Court Deals Blow To Trump's Medicaid Work Rules The court found that it is "indisputably correct that the principal objective of Medicaid is providing health care coverage" and that work requirements for "able-bodied" people lack specific legal authorization. Moreover, the court ruled that administration officials failed to thoroughly examine the risk that some Medicaid recipients would lose coverage in approving Arkansas' experiment with work requirements. The state later reported more than 18,000 people dropped from the rolls, but it wasn't clear how many obtained other coverage. (Alonso-Zaldivar and Bleed, 2/14) The Washington Post: Appeals Court Unanimously Strikes Down Medicaid Work Requirements The ruling marks the first time that an appellate court has weighed in on what has been one of the Trump administration's signature attempts to push health policy in a more conservative direction. The D.C. Circuit is considered the nation's top appeals court below the U.S. Supreme Court, and the 19-page opinion was written by a jurist appointed by Ronald Reagan, David Sentelle. The panel's other judges are Cornelia Pillard, an appointee of Barack Obama, and Harry Edwards, appointed by Jimmy Carter. (Goldstein, 2/14) The Wall Street Journal: Appeals Court Rejects Trump Administration's Approval Of Work Requirements For Medicaid The decision could have far-reaching implications for Medicaid, a health program for the poor and disabled. Other states have shown mounting interest in adopting work requirements. Ten of them, including Kentucky, Arkansas, New Hampshire, Arizona and Michigan, have received approval to adopt work requirements, according to George Washington University's Milken Institute of Public Health. Michigan is the only state now implementing work requirements, and a lawsuit was filed last year challenging federal approval for the mandate. (Armour and Kendall, 2/14) NPR: U.S. Appeals Court Upholds Ruling Blocking States' Medicaid Work Requirements Trump administration officials have promoted work requirements, arguing that working can cause people to live healthier lives. The D.C. Circuit is regarded as the top appeals court below the Supreme Court. HHS' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees Medicaid, hasn't said whether it will appeal the latest ruling to the Supreme Court. (Wamsley, 2/14) The Wall Street Journal: Medicaid Standoff: Trump Plan To Tighten Oversight Of States Draws Objections Many governors, insurers and hospitals are denouncing a Trump administration plan to tighten oversight over how states pay for their share of Medicaid, saying it would deprive them of billions of dollars in funding, jeopardize health coverage and strain state budgets. The proposal would impose new reporting requirements and restrictions on financial practices used by states to pay for Medicaid. The Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Regulation, as the proposal is known, also would apply to extra payments states give to some doctors and providers. (Armour, 2/15) The New York Times: Brain Injuries Are Common In Battle. The Military Has No Reliable Test For Them. U.S. troops at Ayn al Asad Air Base in western Iraq hunkered down in concrete bunkers last month as Iranian missile strikes rocked the runway, destroying guard towers, hangars and buildings used to fly drones. When the dust settled, President Trump and military officials declared that no one had been killed or wounded during the attack. That would soon change. A week after the blast, Defense Department officials acknowledged that 11 service members had tested positive for traumatic brain injury, or TBI, and had been evacuated to Kuwait and Germany for more screening. (Philipps and Gibbons-Neff, 2/15) The New York Times: Payout From A National Opioids Settlement Won't Be As Big As Hoped As talks escalate to settle thousands of opioid-related lawsuits nationwide, a harsh reality is emerging: The money the pharmaceutical industry will pay to compensate ravaged communities will likely be far less than once envisioned. Lawyers on all sides have been stepping up efforts to reach a national agreement before the start of a New York trial next month. But even plaintiff lawyers now believe the payout from dozens of opioid makers, distributors and retailers is likely to be less than half of what the four Big Tobacco companies agreed to pay more than 20 years ago in a landmark settlement with states over costs associated with millions of smoking-related deaths. (Hoffman, 2/17) The Washington Post: A Guatemalan Family Was Separated In 2017. They're Still Apart. She tries to avoid the word. What she says is that her mom is in Guatemala. Or that her mom has been deported and will try to come back soon. But when her teacher, or her social worker, or her best friend Ashley asks, Adelaida sounds it out — one of the first words she learned in English. "They separated us." Adelaida Reynoso and her mother, María, were among the first migrant families broken up by the Trump administration, on July 31, 2017, long before the government acknowledged it was separating parents and children at the border.

But as the Environmental Protection Agency prepares to finalize the latest in a long line of rollbacks, the nation's power sector has sent a different message: Thanks, but no thanks. (Eilperin and Dennis, 2/17) Reuters: Nonprofit Hospitals With Healthiest Finances Offer Little Charity Care Among nonprofit hospitals, those with the highest net incomes tend to devote the smallest proportion of their earnings to providing free care to uninsured patients and low-income people who struggle to pay their bills, a U.S. study suggests. Overall in 2017, the study found, nonprofit hospitals nationwide generated $47.9 billion in net income, provided $9.7 billion in charity care to uninsured patients and spent another $4.5 billion in charity care for people with insurance who couldn't afford their bills. (Rapaport, 2/17) Reuters: Patients Often Puzzled By Medical Test Reports Even the most educated, take-charge individuals may have a hard time deciphering the test results they can access after a doctor visit, two new studies suggest. "The benefits of improving patient access to their own medical information are fairly clear: patient empowerment and engagement in their own health care, and an improved trust and sense of partnership with their healthcare provider," Dr. Daniel Miller, an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health by email. (2/14) The Associated Press: Feds: Florida Doctor Stole $26M To Fund Political Ambition A Florida vascular surgeon bilked the government and health insurers of more than $26 million to possibly finance his political ambitions in his native country of Ghana, federal authorities said. Earlier this month, a federal grand jury unsealed a 58-count indictment alleging that Dr. Moses deGraft-Johnson falsely billed insurers, including Medicare and Medicaid, for work he did not actually perform. (2/14) The New York Times: Florida Doctor Bilked $26 Million From Health Insurers, Officials Say Dr. deGraft-Johnson, who owned and operated the Heart and Vascular Institute of North Florida in Tallahassee, a doctor's office and outpatient catheterization lab, used his privileges at a hospital to poach patients "for purposes of subsequently billing health care benefit programs for interventional vascular procedures" that were never done, court records said. From September 2015 to this month, Dr. deGraft-Johnson submitted scores of fraudulent claims to health insurers, including Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, court papers said.

Before the procedure, she told her physician that she did not want medical students to be directly involved. But after the operation, Janine said, as the anesthesia wore off, a resident came by to inform her that she had gotten her period; the resident had noticed while conducting a pelvic exam. "What pelvic exam?" Janine, 33, asked. Distressed, she tried to piece together what had happened while she was unconscious. Why had her sexual organs been inspected during an abdominal operation, by a medical student? Later, she said, her physician explained that the operating team had seen she was due for a Pap smear. (Goldberg, 2/17) Reuters: Young Cancer Survivors Have Higher Risk Of Severe Health Problems Later People who survive cancer during childhood and early adulthood are more likely to experience severe, life-threatening health problems and die prematurely, a recent study suggests. Researchers followed almost 12,000 young cancer survivors and roughly 5,000 of their healthy siblings for around two decades, until many of them were in their 40s. Even though all of the cancer survivors were tumor free for at least five years at the start of the study, they were still roughly six times more likely to die during follow-up than their siblings.

By the time Juul pulled most of its flavored pods from the market in October of 2019, many teens had already moved on to an array of newer, disposable vape products. "Juul is almost old school ...

As her children gathered at her bedside, she began to cradle a nonexistent baby. She cooed and cuddled it in her arms, showing a happiness that was at odds with her physical suffering. Her children turned to the doctor, concerned that their mother was hallucinating. But he encouraged them to let her act out a scene that only made sense to her. Later, they learned that Mary had delivered a stillborn baby years before she had her other children. What had seemed like a bizarre hallucination actually seemed to help address a trauma she had held inside for years. She died peacefully soon after.

In 2002, the Navajo Nation banned DNA studies out of fear of how their samples might be used by scientists. But many genome scientists believe that health care can be improved with the use of genetic information and are concerned that if indigenous communities do not participate, they will be left behind.

Was the gold-plated "scrotal radiendocrinator" still dangerous after nearly a century?

Take a look around any gym and you'll see people working to strengthen their biceps, hamstrings, shoulders, abs — pretty much anything but their feet. That, experts say, is a big mistake. "Feet are the foundation of our strength. And like with any body part, when you don't use it, you lose it," says Jay Dicharry, author of several books about running biomechanics and director of the REP Lab in Bend, Ore. Years of neglect can prevent the 28 bones, 30 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments in feet from doing their job, which is essentially to provide support, balance and mobility.

How DraftKings hopes to set itself apart as it launches Iowa's latest sports betting mobile app - Des Moines Register Posted: 19 Feb 2020 04:53 PM PST Danny Lawhon The Des Moines Register Published 2:50 PM EST Feb 19, 2020 If you can't be the first, be the best. And be innovative in your options. That's just part of the message DraftKings hopes it's sending with its mobile betting app, which launched in Iowa on Wednesday through the company's three Wild Rose Casino sportsbook properties in the state. The daily fantasy sports giant opened brick-and-mortar sportsbooks at casino locations in Jefferson, Clinton and Emmetsburg in October. Now, the mobile version follows, allowing the casinos to be the 11th, 12th and 13th in Iowa to also extend their reach to customers' phones and desktops. On the one hand, there's an inherent disadvantage for DraftKings: Several other casinos and sports providers have been in the market for as many as five-plus months — most notably William Hill, which is affiliated with Prairie Meadows in Altoona and three other well-positioned properties. So there's the muscle-memory, use-the-product-you-know factor. There's also the part of the Iowa law passed in 2019 that mandates that anyone wanting to use a mobile wagering app must first set foot in the casino administering the app before its activation. That proviso remains in place until Jan. 1, 2021. So the other hurdle is convincing some of the most ardent bettors to make the one-time pilgrimage for these potential options. No matter, says DraftKings co-founder and North American President Matt Kalish, who is excited to see the company enter its sixth state for mobile wagering.  "It never hurts to have multiple options. … We are all for more competition, and we feel we have the best product in the market," Kalish said by phone. "We want to compete for a decent-sized share of the pie." NEW TO SPORTS BETTING? Here's how to get started in Iowa Most modern sportsbooks present the breadth and depth of sports and games to bettors. The next step is beefing up the incentives and the in-game options. Kalish said he believes the DraftKings app will stand out in offerings of props and promotions. Many games from the recently completed NFL season, for example, had more than 100 proposition permutations available, he said — individual yardage totals, quarter-by-quarter scores and point spreads, the nature of the first points scored and so on. Then there's the enticement to enter the market. Beyond in-season promotions, DraftKings is offering up to $1,000 in betting credits for new account holders. The amount of the newbie's first wager will be matched for a future bet, up to $500. Another $500 can be earned with an initial deposit of $2,500 into a new account (a 20% bonus rate). Players will then accrue those additional credits at a rate of $1 for every $25 wagered.  For the more casual player, DraftKings allows bets as low as 10 cents. Kalish said one of the biggest eye-openers he's noticed as more and more states open the door to sports wagering is the new engagement fans have when taking in a game. "The groundswell continues to build. We've noticed leagues, sports teams, media companies rally behind legal and regulated sports gambling to participate in some way," Kalish said. "On the consumer side, the demand is tremendous, and we've seen the same thing as each new market goes live.  "The demand is exceeding expectations … there's just an ability to participate, to make watching events more interesting on a regular basis." The fantasy sports arm of the company remains the revenue king, Kalish said, and DraftKings never banked on sports betting ballooning the way it is. That said, there are no complaints about how their business is developing before their eyes. The learning curve of sports wagering is "simple to understand," he said, "and that has an appeal for customers we're already serving and a new audience of fans in the U.S. It's certainly a welcome evolution for our business to help us grow." Side bets January statewide sports betting figures have been released by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. The total handle from 18 casinos was $58.027 million, the lowest figure since October but only a drop of 2.1% from the December 2019 total, which was essentially flat with the November 2019 monthly high of $59.345 million.  One notable observation from the January numbers is the 5.6% hold on that handle. Put another way, those are net receipts of $3.235 million on the wagers. That's close to the 6% average most casinos see over the long haul, and up from the 4.9% hold seen in December. Given the lack of pro and college football games available to wager, the increase is a relatively acceptable result for most of the sportsbooks. February totals won't be released until sometime in the first 10 days of March, and casinos aren't required to delineate just how much money is wagered on each sport or event. But state commission administrator Brian Ohorilko said that casinos have reported roughly $6.5 million in wagers on the recent Super Bowl LIV between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Exact revenue figures aren't yet available, but Ohorilko said it appeared that the Chiefs (who won the game 31-20 and easily covered the spread as a 1.5-point favorite) received the majority of the action. That's not surprising, given the team's Midwest support and it being the closest NFL city geographically to central Iowa, from which the majority of sports bets are placed each month. We can infer the exact effect in a couple weeks' time.  Danny Lawhon works across the Register's sports department, from editing, social media and sports wagering to bowls, brackets and data dives.

8 Dead in Shooting in Central Germany - The New York Times Posted: 19 Feb 2020 04:37 PM PST BERLIN — Eight people were killed and several others injured after shootings at multiple locations Wednesday night in the central German city of Hanau, east of Frankfurt, the police said. The authorities said they were hunting for multiple suspects, who remain at large. The local public broadcaster, Hessischer Rundfunk, reported the suspects opened fire at a hookah bar in the center of the city, killing three people, then drove to a hookah bar in another neighborhood, where they opened fire, killing five. In addition to those killed, several people were injured at each of the locations, the broadcaster said. The police said the suspects fled the scene in "a dark car," and that the authorities were searching for them with a large-scale response, including helicopters. The police had no immediate information on a motive for the shooting and were asking residents for any tips. Video and images from Hanau showed darkened city streets cordoned off with red-and-white tape while police officers gathered in the background.

松屋「シュクメルリ」の次は「カチャトーラ」？ 一部店舗でひそかにテスト販売開始 - ねとらぼ Posted: 19 Feb 2020 06:21 AM PST 松屋「シュクメルリ」の次は「カチャトーラ」？ 一部店舗でひそかにテスト販売開始 - ねとらぼ 　牛丼チェーン「松屋」の一部店舗で、2月18日から新メニュー「カチャトーラ定食」のテスト販売が開始されていたことが分かりました。公式Twitterによれば、前回「シュクメルリ鍋」が好評だった「松屋世界紀行」シリーズの第2弾とのこと。ところでカチャトーラって何……？ 　カチャトーラとは、イタリア料理の1つで、日本語に訳すなら「鶏とトマトの猟師風煮込み」といったところ。前回のシュクメルリ鍋はジョージア料理でしたが、どうやら今度の「世界紀行」はイタリア料理となるようです。ちなみに公式Twitterではあくまで名前を伏せていますが、ユルユルなモザイクのせいで「カチャトーラ定食」という文字がほぼ丸見えに……。 松屋さん、文字がところどころ見えてますよ……？（松屋公式Twitterより） 　取り扱い店舗は公式サイトから確認できますが、テスト販売ということでやはり今回も対象店舗はかなり少なめ。身近な店舗で販売していたらラッキー、くらいで見ておいた方がよさそうです。テスト終了時期についても不明ですが、前回のシュクメルリ鍋膳はわずか数日で販売終了（その後正式全国展開が決定）してしまっており、もしも見かけたら早めに捕獲しておいた方がいいかもしれません。 「松屋世界紀行」シリーズの第1弾として好評だった「シュクメルリ鍋膳」 関連記事 関連リンク Copyright © ITmedia, Inc.
