Slater winds back the clock at Pipe Pro Slater winds back the clock at Pipe Pro Legendary surfer Kelly Slater has wound back the clock yet again, ousting *********** Ethan Ewing to advance to the quarter-finals of the Pipe Pro in Hawaii. The 11-time world champ, who turns 53 next week, stepped up in big surf on Friday (Saturday AEDT) at the famed Pipeline break on the north shore of Oahu. Slater began the day by downing Indonesian Rio Waida 14.83 to 12.83. The American went to another level in his round-of-16 clash with the 26-year-old Ewing, who finished second in the World Surf League (WSL) title race in 2023. Slater won 17.16 to 14.83 to set up a quarter-final against Brazilian Ian Gouveia as he chases an unprecedented ninth triumph at Pipeline. WSL tour rookie George Pittar was the only *********** man to advance to the last eight. The 22-year-old’s two best waves of 6.80 and 7.30 came late in his narrow 14.10 to 13.83 round-of-16 win over Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi. New South Welshman Pittar’s quarter-final opponent will be Italian Leonardo Fioravanti, who beat *********** Joel Vaughan. *********** Paris Olympics silver medallist Jack Robinson was unlucky to be eliminated in the round of 32. Robinson was awarded a perfect 10 from the judges for an epic barrel in his clash with Alan Cleland, the first ******** to compete on the the WSL Tour. But Cleland still advanced 12.83 to 12.17 after Robinson was unable to find a second decent-scoring wave. The men’s and women’s Pipe Pro titles will be decided on Saturday (Sunday AEDT). Australians Molly Picklum, Tyler Wright and Isabella Nicholls are all through to the women’s quarters.

Real Reason DCAU Legend Paul Dini Agreed To Write Arkham Asylum Real Reason DCAU Legend Paul Dini Agreed To Write Arkham Asylum The Batman: Arkham series is a masterpiece of its own. From intriguing storylines to exotic gameplay, this series by Rocksteady Studios is an eye candy for Batman fans. Players were hooked to the Arkham Universe when Rocksteady, dropped their first Batman game, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Batman Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece on its own | Image Credits: Rocksteady Studios Batman: Arkham Asylum is the first title in the Batman: Arkham series and the game was released more than 15 years ago. This 2009 game blew people’s minds when it was first released. Arkham Asylum was not just a “Batman” game where you punch enemies, throw batarangs, and rescue the princess. The title introduced Batman’s gadgets, stealth missions, scaring your enemies, and much more. Arkham Asylum was the gateway through which players and avid Batman fans could truly experience being the world’s greatest detective. All these would not have been possible without the legendary Paul Dini. Paul Dini’s contribution to the Arkham Series Paul Dini was invited by DC Comics to make Arkham Asylum | Image Credits: Rocksteady Studios Paul Dini is an American screenwriter and producer of various DC comic books and animations. He was one of the key screenwriters behind the famous cartoon, Batman: The Animated Series and is the co-creator of Harley Quinn. Dini also wrote both the storylines of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. However, despite his contributions, Dini was not invited back to write the plot of Batman: Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In a 2009 interview between Paul Dini and the Telegraph ***, Dini revealed that he was invited by DC Comics to write the story for Arkham Asylum. He stated that DC Comics wanted him to write something original and from the ground up. It sounded very intriguing to me because at that point most of the Batman games weren’t original. I think there were like, a handful, that did not owe their existence to a movie or a TV show or something like that. DC really wanted to create something right from the ground up, but build it around very familiar Batman elements. Later in that interview, Dini also mentions how the game largely came about through improvisation. He commented on how he wanted to experiment and try out different game mechanics and wanted to incorporate the story into some of those mechanics. However, most of Dini’s ideas were not implemented into the game because of game engine limitations. How Paul Dini influenced superhero games Paul Dini paved the way for modern superhero games | Image Credits: Rocksteady Studios Paul Dini’s contributions to the Batman: Arkham series are instrumental in shaping the series for what it is now. His first game, Arkham Asylum paved the way for the Arkham franchise. The title set a new standard for superhero games with its narrative depth and gameplay mechanics, it truly made the players feel like the Dark Knight himself. Despite his success with Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Dini’s absence from Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League left a large and noticeable gap in storytelling. His departure remains a topic of discussion among Batman enthusiasts who long for the storytelling brilliance he infused into the franchise. Even today, Batman: Arkham Asylum is regarded as a top-tier superhero game, Dini’s legacy lives on through his influence in superhero games. It proves that a well-written narrative can elevate a title from just another action game to an unforgettable experience.

Back-to-back winter storms target Kansas City area. Here are early snowfall predictions Back-to-back winter storms target Kansas City area. Here are early snowfall predictions Cooler weather and drizzle are expected to move into the Kansas City area on Friday, but two snowstorms next week could have a more significant impact, according to the National Weather Service. The month of February got off to a warm start in Kansas City, with the average temperature being about nine degrees above normal. The metro’s average temperature for the first seven days is typically 30.4 degrees. The temperature will return to normal on Friday, with the metro seeing a high of 41 degrees. “Expect drizzle to develop and push northward as moisture surges into the area,” the weather service said. “Drizzle should stay south of I-70 through the evening.” The drizzle will then spread over much of the Kansas City area overnight. The weather service said temperatures should fall below freezing along and north of U.S. 36 highway across northern Missouri, leading to the potential for light freezing drizzle. There is a 40-60% possibility of .01 inch of ice generally along and north of U.S. 36 highway and east of U.S. 71 highway. Freezing drizzle will be possible Saturday morning over north-central and northeastern Missouri, according to the National Weather Service. A light glaze of ice is possible. This forecast was prepared Friday morning. “Could see some minor travel impacts tonight (Friday) into Saturday morning in these favored areas,” the weather service said. The weather service advises drivers to use caution and provide extra time to travel in that area. All precipitation is expected to end by the afternoon, leaving a dry forecast until Monday afternoon, the weather service said. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-40s Saturday and the mid-30s Sunday after a cold front passes through. Local Radar Image Colder temperature, accumulating snow in KC’s forecast “Attention then turns to snowfall potential starting late Monday,” the weather service said. “At this time, (forecast) models favor a couple rounds of snowfall next week as a series of disturbances move through the area.” The weather service said the first snowstorm is expected to arrive Monday night into Tuesday, with the second arriving late Tuesday and continuing through late Wednesday. The first winter storm brings a 50-70% chance of snow to the area. The weather service said the storm’s timing will likely impact the Tuesday morning commute the most. The timing of the second storm will likely impact the morning and evening commutes on Wednesday. Early look at potential snowfall totals “Forecasting exact snowfall amounts is difficult at this time,” the weather service said. Although snowfall totals will likely change the closer the storms get, the weather service provided snowfall probabilities. For Monday’s storm: 40-60% for snowfall totals exceeding 1 inch. 20-40% for snowfall totals exceeding 2 inches. 10-30% for snowfall totals exceeding 4 inches. The heaviest snow will fall north and west of Kansas City. For the Tuesday and Wednesday storm: 40-70% chance of snowfall totals exceeding 2 inches. 30-50% chance of snowfall totals exceeding 4 inches. 15-30% chance of snowfall totals exceeding 6 inches. The lowest snowfall totals will be over the southern and eastern parts of the Kansas City forecast area. “Snow totals still uncertain, but at least 2-3” possible,” the weather service said. Bitter cold will accompany the storms, with overnight temperatures falling to the teens to low 20s Monday night and the single digits to teens each night on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Daytime temperatures will be 38 degrees on Monday, mainly in the 20s Tuesday through Thursday.

Woman evicted from NHS hospital ward after being stuck for 18 months Woman evicted from NHS hospital ward after being stuck for 18 months Adam Eley and Alison Holt, social affairs editor BBC News BBC Jessie, her face blurred for privacy, in the hospital bed where she lived for 18 months “I feel very angry, upset, worthless, and like my mental health and my life does not matter,” says Jessie, propped up in a hospital bed. She is recording this in a video diary. Blue NHS curtains are drawn around the bed and all her possessions are stacked up in the tiny chaotic space this creates. Among the piles of boxes and bags sit the dolls she holds to keep her calm. Thirty-five-year-old Jessie spent 550 days in Northampton General Hospital. For nearly all that time, she was medically fit to leave but finding her a suitable place to go to was difficult. The BBC has followed her story for more than five months as the NHS trust took costly High Court action against her, to have her evicted from the hospital bed she was occupying. Jessie was eventually arrested and taken to a care home where she says she feels anxious. Jessie has dolls that she holds for comfort Her story is an extreme example, but it demonstrates the acute pressures faced by a care system coping with more complex cases, the knock-on effect to the NHS, and how the person at the heart of it can feel lost. North Northamptonshire Council, which is responsible for her housing and care, says it cannot comment because of an ongoing police investigation into Jessie’s behaviour. The hospital says it “is not the best environment for patients who are not in need of acute medical care”. The Department of Health and Social Care has told the BBC: “This is a troubling case which shows how our broken NHS discharge system is failing vulnerable people.” Jessie was one of more than 70 people who contacted the BBC after reading about Matthew in Surrey – who would end up spending more than a year stuck on a hospital ward before being moved to a care home. Most who wrote to us told of their struggles to find the social care they needed, some also faced long waits to get out of hospital. At the start of January 2025, nearly 13,000 out of the more than 100,000 hospital beds in England were occupied by people who didn’t have a medical reason to be there, according to official figures. For people delayed for more than a week, the most common reasons were a lack of social care available in their own homes, or a shortage of places in care or rehabilitation homes. Such delays have become normal, say experts. Jessie’s story It is very rare for a patient to be taken to court by the NHS – Jessie’s is only the fourth case since 2006. So how did she come to be arrested in her hospital bed? She arrived at Northampton General on 14 April 2023 needing treatment for cellulitis, a bacterial infection affecting the skin, which can be serious. She uses a wheelchair and needs help with all her personal care. She has also been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable personality disorder. Jessie likes games, arts and crafts, and trips to garden centres. She also finds life difficult and can be challenging to those trying to help her. When stressed, she self-harms and can threaten to harm others. By the end of April, she was ready to be discharged from hospital, but was told she could not return to the nursing home where she had lived for nine years because it could no longer meet her needs. Jessie – who is unable to work and reliant on benefits – became increasingly isolated stuck inside her hospital cubicle on the six-bedded ward. She says her mental health deteriorated further, people would stare at her and she felt safer with the curtains drawn. All Jessie’s possessions were stacked up inside the cubicle From documents we have seen, and from what Jessie and her mother, Hilda, have told us, it was about a year before she was offered an alternative place by the local council. Sarah Scobie, deputy director of research at the Nuffield Trust think tank, says patients stuck in hospital for three weeks or more, like Jessie, tend to need a lot of support, and the number of these cases is increasing. With councils – who pay for most social care – financially squeezed and overstretched, many care homes and home-care providers are only given short-term funding, she says. It is “difficult for them to establish services, recruit staff, train staff, invest in a service, if they don’t know whether that funding is going to continue,” she adds. The government says it is providing an additional £26bn to help “shift the focus of care from hospital to community, and tackle delayed discharges by improving the links between the NHS and social care”. It also says a review of adult social care led by Baroness Louise Casey, which starts work in April, will draw up a plan for a fair and affordable care system for the future. In Jessie’s case, legal documents say the council investigated nearly 120 care places. Only one was offered to her. This was a supported living flat in a nearby town, with two care staff initially present 24 hours a day. But the town has upsetting memories for Jessie. She finds it too difficult to talk about, other than to say “bad things” happened. She told us she was desperate to leave hospital, but the thought of going there made her feel suicidal. So, she refused the one place offered. Jessie uses a wheelchair and needs help with all her personal care Under the 2014 Care Act, Jessie should be able to express a preference about where she lives. She has mental capacity, but was assessed by the NHS as needing a professional advocate to support her in this, helping her understand the decisions she is asked to make and to explain her views to others. Jessie was referred to an advocacy firm by the council, but in June 2024 her case was closed after she asked for a new advocate but then didn’t respond to further contact. The health and care system is “convoluted, complicated, very bureaucratic” and it is easy for a patient’s voice to get lost, says Caroline Entwistle from the advocacy charity, VoiceAbility. She believes an advocate can “take that pressure off the person who’s feeling quite overwhelmed” – but that funding for such services is not keeping up with demand. The hospital did provide Jessie with mental health support while she was in her cubicle. But she believed no-one was listening to her. “I explained all the reasons I wasn’t happy with [the accommodation],” she says, “but they just went ahead with it anyway.” In August 2024, 16 months after she arrived, the hospital started legal action against Jessie to repossess the bed she was in. She did not really understand what was happening, she says. Neither did her mother. They could not find a solicitor and had no advocate, so the first two hearings went ahead without anyone representing Jessie’s views. The NHS trust argued a patient didn’t have the right to choose their placement, and that a hospital bed took up significant resource. It said it had taken account of Jessie’s vulnerabilities throughout and the package of care offered by the council was significant, with staff present 24 hours a day to keep her safe. A care plan, which detailed the support Jessie needed, was only given to the court at the final hearing. The date suggests the assessment was completed the day before. It also notes that “Jessie is unable to communicate effectively”. At the final High Court hearing on 4 October, Jessie attended remotely from hospital. Within minutes she was overwhelmed and had to leave. Her mother struggled to speak for her. The judge said Jessie could challenge the council’s assessment of whether the accommodation and care were right for her, but she could not remain in hospital “when she does not need a bed there, and has not needed one for over a year, and others do”. He ruled that Jessie must leave hospital, and said “we must hope the transition goes smoothly”. The hospital trust says it is committed to working with “care partners to provide the best possible care for those in our communities” in the place that “best suits their needs”. The most recent data, from 2020-21, suggests a standard NHS hospital bed costs £345 per day. Adjusting for inflation, this would mean Jessie’s hospital stay is likely to have cost more than £200,000. We do not know how much the legal action cost. Ten days after Jessie’s final hearing, 18 months after she arrived in hospital, the police arrested her. She spent several hours at a police station before being moved to the flat in the town that holds bad memories. Police are investigating her for a number of alleged incidents, she told us, including for sending offensive emails shortly before she was evicted in October. Since moving, Jessie says she has self-harmed and the police have been called on three occasions – once by Jessie, twice by staff. “They don’t know what to do with me,” she says. Jessie has recently been visited by a new advocate. Source link #Woman #evicted #NHS #hospital #ward #stuck #months Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Phoenix, Victory fight out A-League Women draw Phoenix, Victory fight out A-League Women draw Melbourne Victory have fought out a 1-1 draw with Wellington to reclaim second spot on the A-League Women table and strike a blow to the Phoenix’s finals hopes. Wellington forward Maya McCutcheon’s header in the second minute opened the scoring at Porirua Park on Saturday, before Nickoletta Flannery responded off the bench in the 61st minute. Victory (29 points) sit ahead of third-placed Adelaide on goal difference and four points behind leaders Melbourne City, who face Newcastle away on Saturday night. Wellington (20 points), who had 17 shots to Victory’s nine, spurned a chance to jump into the top six and could fall further behind given fifth-placed Central Coast (23) play seventh-placed Canberra (21) on Saturday. Victory were flat early and the Phoenix quickly drew first blood. Annalie Longo floated a corner to the near post and McCutcheon made a wonderful run to flick home the opener. Wellington’s Manaia Elliott hit the side netting in the 18th minute, and Victory goalkeeper Courtney Newbon made a great save to deny the teenager in the 51st minute Victory coach Jeff Hopkins turned to his substitutes on the hour mark, bringing on Holly Furphy and Flannery, and the move immediately paid off. Furphy burst forward down the left and, after striker Emily Gielnik was unable to control her pass, Phoenix defender Tiana Jaber rushed a clearance and accidentally sent the ball straight to the feet of Flannery. The winger burst down the right and smashed a wonderful strike into the far corner of the net. Alivia Kelly forced another good save from Newbon in the 72nd minute, then the Victory goalkeeper denied McCutcheon a winner in stoppage time. Victory return home to face Central Coast next Sunday, and Wellington travel to play Perth Glory the same day.

‘My university course made me who I am ‘My university course made me who I am Hayley Clarke Education reporter Darcie James Darcie James says her course, which included a year abroad in France and Spain, made her ‘much more confident’ Universities across the *** are struggling with their finances. From job cuts to course closures, many are now having to make tough decisions. Most universities will still be facing financial struggles next year, even with tuition fees in England and Wales rising from £9,250 to £9,535, after years of stagnation. Before that, fees had only increased by £250 since 2012, when they tripled to £9,000. Costs, including staff salaries and building works, have continued to rise in that time – meaning budgets have been getting tighter and tighter. And the issues are not just limited to England and Wales. Queen’s University Belfast has faced criticism this week over its decision to open a campus in India while planning to cut up to 270 jobs. The government says it is “committed to fixing the foundations of higher education”, while Universities ***, which represents 141 universities, says the sector has been “doing more with less for years”. ‘Anger and uncertainty’Andy Williams UCU branch president Joey Whitfield says issues cannot keep happening if the *** wants to retain its position as a world leader in higher education For Cardiff University final-year languages student Darcie James, 23, the headlines hit close to home after her university last month announced plans to cut 400 jobs and close some courses. Her faculty, which she says “feels like a little family”, is now at risk of closure. Nursing and music courses are also under threat. The University and College Union (UCU) branch says it will have a no-confidence vote in the leadership team at the university over the plans. Branch president Joey Whitfield, senior lecturer in Hispanic studies, says there is “a lot of anger and uncertainty”, and that some students have reported staff crying to them during lectures. The university’s vice-chancellor, Prof Wendy Larner, says the university’s final plans “will be shaped by our community” in a 90-day consultation. “The scale of the challenge will remain, but the way that we address it will certainly be refined and developed over the next 90 days,” she says. Student Darcie says she was “really shocked” by the announcements, and that, as someone who has lived with anxiety, her course – in particular her year abroad in France and Spain – has “made her as a person”. She says it is “so important others have that available too”. ‘It feels like you’re running into a wall’Huba Papp Brendan Papp says being busy with volleyball and the student newspaper keeps him going In January, the University of Kent said more jobs would be cut in a bid to save nearly £20m. Last February, the university announced proposals to cut 58 jobs and “phase out” six subjects – art history, anthropology, health and social care, music and audio technology, journalism, and philosophy and religious studies – in response to its “financial challenges”. Third-year journalism student Brendan Papp, 21, is being “taught out” – meaning students currently on the cancelled course are seeing it through until completion. When he applied, he says the course ranked in the top five in the country. Now, he says, it’s fallen to “dead last”. An international student from Virginia in the US, Brendan came to the *** to chase his dream of becoming a sports reporter. Now, he’s keen to complete his course so he can move to Madrid to do sports management instead. He says the class lost “two really good teachers because of the cuts”. Now he says “it feels like you’re running into a wall” and, with engagement in the course dipping, he’s struggling to see the results from his hard work. Brendan says the staff have been “excellent”, though, trying to provide an experience that’s “as good as possible”. One staff member from a different department, who asked not to be named, says they believe the previous cuts have had a knock-on effect on student recruitment, leading to further cost-saving measures and damaging staff morale. A university spokesperson says that sentiment is not reflected in its staff surveys. They say “sector finances are under severe pressure and, like many other institutions, we have been making wide-ranging changes” in order to “reflect what students and government are looking for from universities”. ‘Everything is taking a hit’Nathan Wyatt Nathan Wyatt is worried there could be a ‘brain drain’ of *** students opting to go abroad to study Staff at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have announced plans to strike this week over the university’s proposed cuts to 170 full-time positions. UEA says those “incredibly challenging decisions” – made in an effort to save £11m – were not taken lightly. Nathan Wyatt, 23, the student union’s ******** officer and a former politics student, says he led the charge against previous cuts in 2023. He says there is a feeling of “fatigue” about facing more cuts. “The consensus on campus is that people are feeling drained, and they don’t have the energy to go out and say ‘no cuts’ as loudly as they did before.” Nadine Zubair Nadine Zubair says it feels like ‘an endless cycle of cuts’ Nadine Zubair, a digital humanities manager and co-chair of the university’s UCU branch, says students and staff are affected by the cuts “in every aspect of their experience here: their morale, their workloads – everything is taking a hit”. “We are a world-leading sector, but the world is watching us crumble under our own managerial panic or desperation.” A university spokesperson says UEA is still committed to “high-quality student education and experience, and we will work hard to limit any impact on students”. They say “compulsory redundancies will always be a last resort”. ‘It’s making me reconsider a Masters’Luca Hughes Joshi Lily says she doesn’t want university cuts to stop her achieving what she wants to Durham University says it wants to save £10m in staff costs by cutting about 200 professional services roles this year. Further savings could include cuts to academic staff next year, it says. Professional services staff support the running of the university, while academics are responsible for research and teaching. “Strenuous efforts” will be made to ensure these are voluntary redundancies, says Durham, adding that it “remains a world-leading university”. Student Lily Gershon, 22, co-editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, says the cuts are making her reconsider whether she wants to go on to do a postgraduate course at Durham. She says the professional services staff who are facing cuts this year make up the “backbone” of the university. Lily, from Hong Kong, says her mum “sacrifices” to pay for her to go to university as she is not entitled to a student loan and lives on about £50 per week. But she says being the cohort whose exams were cancelled due to Covid means “we’re quite a resilient bunch, so we know we can adapt”. Dr Katie Muth Katie Muth says the national funding model for universities is ‘broken’ Katie Muth, assistant professor in digital humanities and modern literature – and a member of Durham’s UCU Committee – says colleagues are “pretty worried across the board” by the university’s announcements. She says “there’s a lot of anxiety” and colleagues are concerned about their workloads increasing as people leave. “People are already working at or above capacity,” she says. She believes “band-aid” solutions are not going to fix a higher education sector in need of systemic changes. A university spokesperson says all departments are being asked to find savings, and the university is engaging with staff “in an open and transparent way”. They say any voluntary staff departure “would be considered in relation to the likely workload impact and opportunities to reduce workload”. How did we get here? After the freeze on fees, universities say finances have been getting tighter for years. Then there was the shock of new visa restrictions on international postgraduates coming to the *** bringing their partners and children. International students pay higher fees, but the introduction of those restrictions in January 2024 has led to a drop of around 16% in applications. That, in turn, has led to more competition between universities to secure places for *** students. The body which regulates higher education, the Office for Students (OfS), has warned that without change on a scale not seen before, 72% of universities could slide into financial deficit – where a university spends more than it is bringing in – by 2026. “We have called for universities and colleges to take bold, transformative steps to address the challenges, and we know that many are taking action already,” an OfS spokesperson said. It is also nearly impossible to tell if a university will go bust. That is because universities borrow money from banks based on the value of the assets they own, like buildings and land. If they get into financial trouble, they will renegotiate the terms of their loan with the bank – and no bank wants to see a university which owes them money failing financially. The Department for Education says the government inherited a “dire economic situation” and has taken “tough decisions to bolster universities’ financial sustainability”. “The Office for Students is rightly refocusing its efforts on monitoring financial sustainability, to help create a secure future for our world-leading sector,” a spokesperson said. “Whilst institutions are autonomous, we are committed to fixing the foundations of higher education to deliver change for students.” Additional reporting by education editor Branwen Jeffreys Source link #university Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Key Democrat Tells Trump to ****** Off After He Tries to Fire Her Key Democrat Tells Trump to ****** Off After He Tries to Fire Her A key Democrat on the Federal Elections Commission has hit back after President Donald Trump made a pathetic attempt to illegally remove her. Ellen Weintraub, an opponent of corporate dark money who has served as a commissioner on the FEC panel for 20 years, on Thursday posted a letter that she had received, signed by the president himself. His message was brief. “You are hereby removed as a member of the Federal Election Commission, effectively immediately. Thank you for your service on the Commission,” the letter said. Weintraub wasn’t going to be so easily dismissed. “Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of @FEC,” Weintraub wrote on X. “There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners—this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.” A commissioner can only be removed after the president nominates a replacement, and that person is then confirmed by the Senate. Weintraub, whose six-year term as a commissioner technically expired in 2007 but who has remained on the commission, took the rotating position as FEC chair in January. The FEC has received dozens of complaints accusing Trump of violating campaign finance law, but none of them has been pursued because of the panel’s bipartisan deadlock. Weintraub, who has made public statements about these complaints, told The New York Times she’s “not really surprised that I am on their radar.” Weintraub is one of three Democrats on the panel of six commissioners, a structure that often leads to a deadlock as a bipartisan vote is necessary for the watchdog agency to do anything. But Weintraub helped to engineer a new system to make the deadlock work for the Democrats, instead of against them. In her scheme, the FEC fails over and over again to vote, appearing as dysfunctional as possible, thereby compelling the federal courts to act by enforcing federal election law in its stead.

Bereaved families asked to return pension overpayments Bereaved families asked to return pension overpayments Bereaved relatives have been asked to repay state pensions that were wrongly sent to people who have died by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The DWP has confirmed it has no legal right to reclaim the money but argues that it does so to protect public funds. Former Pensions Minister Sir Steve Webb says the letter the department sends out to families does not make it clear the repayments are voluntary. Over the past five years, the DWP mistakenly paid more than £500m in state pensions and pension credits to the deceased, recovering about half from bereaved relatives. This situation can arise if there is a delay in reporting a death – or in the DWP processing it – causing further pension payments to be issued. As a result, part of that payment may cover a ******* after the person has died. In the latest year, £144m was overpaid in state pensions by the DWP after a person’s death due to delayed reporting. The department recovered £67.3m, leaving £76.7m in unrecovered overpayments. Sir Steve, who is a partner at pensions consultancy LCP, used a Freedom of Information request to see a copy of the letter the DWP sends out to families and executors. It revealed that while the department asks for the money to be returned to protect public funds, it does not state that repayment is voluntary. The former minister said he was “shocked” to learn the letter does not clarify that returning the money isn’t mandatory. Sir Steve argued that this turns pension repayments into a “lottery” where some people send the money back while others don’t. The former Liberal Democrat politician, who served in the ministry between 2010 and 2015, warned the system disproportionately affects the most vulnerable, who may be grieving and unable to question the letter. He called for a “consistent approach”, urging the government either to secure a legal basis for recovering overpayments or stop benefiting from “people who don’t know how this system works”. Radio 4 Money Box listener Dennis said he had been “caught out” by the procedure twice, after both of his parents passed away. Dennis explained that he followed the letter’s instructions to “settle all” his parents’ affairs. He added that he “obeys the government and will pay it” as he didn’t know the repayment was not legally required. Another Money Box listener, Jan, told the BBC that her late husband would be “absolutely beside himself” if he knew that over £250 of his pension had been paid back when it didn’t need to be. Jan said she was confused when she received a letter from the DWP stating her husband had been overpaid, as she had informed them “immediately” after his death. “It was upsetting the way it happened and [the way] the whole thing played out,” she said. The Department for Work and Pensions said in a statement: “It is not our intention to cause distress, however, we have a responsibility to taxpayers to recover overpayments. We acknowledge this is not always possible. “Whilst there is no legal obligation to repay a debt of this type, we recognise some people will be willing to repay money to which there was no entitlement. We provide full contact details and encourage anyone with concerns to call us.” For more on this story listen to Money Box at 12:00 GMT on BBC Radio 4 or catch up on BBC Sounds.

Hundreds of dead ducks washed ashore near Chicago. Expert says it will likely happen again Hundreds of dead ducks washed ashore near Chicago. Expert says it will likely happen again A massive group of dead waterfowl that washed up along the southern shores of Lake Michigan near Chicago and its northern suburbs is believed to be linked to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, wildlife officials said this week. The majority of the waterfowl were red-breasted mergansers, a diving duck also known as the sawbill. Other duck species and Canada geese also were among the victims. The warmer weather and melting ice along Lake Michigan, which has opened up new areas of water, likely contributed to the large number washing up on shore, according to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Reports of the dead birds first surfaced over the weekend. Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, a volunteer conservation group, began receiving reports Jan. 31 of large numbers of mergansers found along the lakefront. The bird organization told NBC 5 Chicago that around 200 to 300 infected mergansers were reported between Friday and Sunday. The sight of ducks floating in the water and being disoriented in nearby parking lots is not only tragic, but the sheer scale of the die-off has also raised alarm among bird groups and wildlife lovers. While it’s shocking to see a massive die-off, it’s not uncommon for birds that travel in such large populations, said Matt Igleski, executive director of Chicago Bird Alliance. Igleski said it’s also becoming more common to see these events in Lake Michigan as climate change, namely the lack of ice during the winter, causes more waterfowl to overwinter in the area. He cautioned that there likely will be more die-offs as the bird flu outbreak continues. A duck killed from bird flu. The bird deaths on Chicago’s shores also prompted the Milwaukee County Zoo to close its aviary “out of an abundance of caution.” In an announcement, the zoo said the closure would last “for the foreseeable future.” The bird flu has been detected in humans, but as the outbreak worsens, cases may be hard to track. The Trump administration has paused most federal health agency communications, including the release of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a trusted source of public health data. Bird flu spreading in wild birds across the U.S. Between Dec. 29, 2024, and Jan. 17 of this year, there were 65 new detections of the highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds across 20 states, according to data published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Jan. 31. Wild birds can carry the virus without showing symptoms, enabling them to spread it to new regions and potentially expose domestic poultry. In fact, ducks are great hosts for the bird flu to spread, and even create new strains. That’s because ducks don’t always get very sick from many bird flu strains. Ducks can often still fly, eat and mingle with other birds, spreading these new viruses to other animals. Waterfowl also congregate in large, mixed flocks that can worsen disease spread, Igleski said. California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency after the virus was detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California. And a new strain of avian flu, H5N9, was recently discovered on a duck farm in California that experienced an outbreak of the more common H5N1 flu last fall. Officials in Pennsylvania and New York have killed thousands of wild geese and commercial poultry flocks after finding cases of the flu. Last week, Massachusetts health officials said the bird flu is likely widespread in the state even in areas without confirmed positive cases. The outbreak has also caused a shortage of eggs, which has driven up prices, according to the USDA. Bird flu detected in humans Wisconsin identified its first human case of bird flu on Dec. 18, 2024, in a worker at a Barron County turkey farm. The farmworker had relatively mild symptoms and was on a road to full recovery with antiviral medications, officials said later that month. Wisconsin is among 10 states to report human cases of the virus, but bird flu risk in Wisconsin remains low, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. As of Jan. 13, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection had detected avian influenza in commercial poultry flocks in Burnett and Barron Counties and in a backyard flock in Kenosha County. More: Bird flu found on a turkey farm in Burnett County, Wisconsin: What to know What should I do if I see a sick bird? Human cases of bird flu in the U.S. have almost all been among people in direct contact with infected cattle and poultry. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the majority of avian influenza viruses do not infect humans. However, simple precautions should be taken to minimize the risk of infection, such as: Do not handle sick or dead wild birds, even to transport them to a veterinarian or refuge. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after contact with a wild bird or contaminated surfaces, which includes birdbaths and feeders. Wear disposable gloves when cleaning bird feeders and baths. Common disinfectants, including detergents, 10% bleach solution and alcohol can be used to inactivate the virus. Cook all meat, including wild birds and poultry, thoroughly to 165° F to kill organisms and parasites. Hunters should sanitize all tools and surfaces when handling, cleaning and preparing wild birds.

The new safety regulation that’s killing multiple models in Australia The new safety regulation that’s killing multiple models in Australia A federal government regulation mandating specific technical requirements for autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems in new cars is being blamed for the discontinuation of multiple models. *********** Design Rule 98/00, first announced in November 2021, requires all newly launched models from March 1, 2023 to follow specific AEB requirements. Now, this regulation will apply to all vehicles on ***** from March 1, 2025. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert New vehicles must be complied before this date if they are to be sold beyond it. It’s not the only new regulation covering AEB, with ADR 98/01 – mandating AEB systems with pedestrian detection – having come into effect from August 1, 2024 for all new vehicle introductions. This will also be applied to all new vehicles on ***** from August 1, 2026. Both ADRs apply to all MA, MB, MC and NA category vehicles – in other words, all passenger vehicles, SUVs and vans, as well as utes with a gross vehicle mass of under 3.5 tonnes. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert ADR 98/00 is based on United Nations Regulation No. 152, which requires AEB systems to be able to detect another vehicle and apply the brakes if necessary at speeds of between 10 and 60km/h, and between 20 and 60km/h for pedestrians and cyclists. The regulation also specifies it shall not be possible to manually deactivate the system at a speed above 10km/h, though vehicles can offer an automatic override for situations such as off-road use so long as these scenarios are clearly communicated to the owner. So, which models have been affected? Fiat It’s understood the petrol-powered Fiat 500 and Abarth 595 hatchbacks don’t comply with either ADR. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert Stellantis Australia confirmed last August it was “no longer bringing in petrol [non-electric vehicles]”, though they remain on price lists while stock remains. Mahindra Mahindra’s Pik-Up ute and Scorpio large SUV both lack any form of AEB, though the company confirmed late in 2023 that it planned to give the latter a safety update as part of a mid-cycle refresh. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert We have contacted Mahindra Australia to follow-up, however, it has yet to provide clarification. Mazda In January, Mazda Australia confirmed it was axing the long-running Mazda 6 sedan and wagon after almost 13 years on the market. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert The mid-sizer’s AEB system hadn’t been certified to meet ADR 98/00. Production for our market has already ended, though Mazda confirmed there’s “healthy supply” across the entire Mazda 6 lineup at dealerships nationwide. Mazda has yet to confirm whether a replacement is coming. In December, Mazda Australia also axed entry-level versions of its Mazda 2 light car and CX-3 small SUV which used a less sophisticated AEB system. Mitsubishi In January, Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirmed it was axing the Eclipse Cross small SUV and ******* Sport large SUV as their AEB systems didn’t meet the standards outlined in ADR 98/00. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert The current ASX small SUV is also being replaced with a restyled version of the Renault Captur. The current ******* Sport, ASX and Eclipse Cross are understood to have ended production in December 2024 for our market, though Mitsubishi says it has been able to shore up supply of these vehicles into 2025. “Given the position of ASX, Eclipse Cross and ******* Sport in their current life cycles, investment towards the re-engineering of these vehicles to incorporate the new ADRs was not commercially feasible,” said Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited CEO Shaun Westcott. “As a result, *********** production of these vehicles has ended. This is not unprecedented; we have seen similar situations before, and our teams are well prepared to manage this transition. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert “We have worked closely with our dealer partners to ensure each model line will be ordered in sufficient quantities ahead of time. This will support our customers while we continue to confirm our future model plans as a core Mitsubishi market. “We will announce these future models in due course.” A replacement for the ******* Sport is expected, with Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirming the company intends to continue having a presence in each segment it currently competes in. Suzuki Production of the current Ignis, S-Cross and Vitara SUVs, and the Swift Sport warm hatch has ended for Australia, with Suzuki Australia managing director Michael Pachota confirming to CarExpert they’ve reached the end of their local lifecycles. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert Suzuki Australia says it will have enough stock of the aforementioned models to continue selling them this year. “Whilst we have stopped production orders of these vehicles, we will have inventory to continue sales in 2025,” said Mr Pachota. “In effect, the product is not ‘axed’, more so each model specified is actually at the end of its life cycle, which was always part of our product planning.” Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert “Whilst Jimny XL is unaffected, Jimny 3-Door currently does not meet the newly introduced ADR requirements, however investigations in overcoming this are already at play and our position on this product are yet to be confirmed – sales at this stage will continue in 2025,” Mr Pachota added. The Jimny is by far Suzuki’s best-selling vehicle, and depending on how soon the three-door version can be made compliant any absence from showrooms could significantly impact the brand’s sales performance. Of the other vehicles affected, the Ignis doesn’t have AEB and was at the end of its lifecycle. The Swift Sport does have the feature, but evidently this system doesn’t meet the ADR – and besides, this model is at the end of its lifecycle as the previous Swift generation on which it’s based has been replaced. Finally, hybrid versions of the Vitara and S-Cross “will be the subject of a Q3 announcement”, according to Mr Pachota, with the former confirmed to feature a more sophisticated AEB system.

What we know about mystery update What we know about mystery update A new Apple iOS update, with the intention of fixing security vulnerabilities, may be around the corner. Technology websites MacRumors and 9to5Mac are predicting that an iOS 18.3.1 update will be released in a few weeks. The update would follow the late-January release of iOS 18.3, which included Apple Intelligence notifications and new Visual Intelligence options, like the ability to add an event to a device’s calendar by scanning a poster. Since its release, iOS 18.3 has been making waves on social media, as users fear that Elon Musk’s Starlink, which offers direct-to-cell capabilities, is automatically downloaded onto devices with the update. However, this is not true. When an Apple user downloads the iOS 18.3 update, Starlink is not added to one’s device. The iOS 18.3 update just allows Apple users to download Starlink if they wish. When it comes to iOS 18.3.1 though, MacRumors suspects the update will be “minor,” largely addressing security bugs. Here’s what we know about iOS 18.3.1. More: Apple iOS 18.3 is here. What to know about top features. What will the iOS 18.3.1 update include? Apple did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for information on Friday. Still tech reporters are speculating what iOS 18.3.1 may include. MacRumors suspects the update will address “software bugs and/or security vulnerabilities” that may have been created with the iOS 18.3 update. The update could be similar to iOS 18.2.1 which contained the description, “This update provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all users.” Apple Intelligence notifications, which were released with iOS 18.3 have been temporarily disabled due to inaccurate summaries. It is unclear if these notifications will be turned back on with iOS 18.3.1, MacRumors reported. When will iOS 18.3.1 be released? Apple has not confirmed iOS 18.3.1, but MacRumors and 9to5Mac suspect it will be released in a few weeks. What’s new in iOS 18.3? For Apple users who haven’t downloaded the latest software update, here’s what to know about what’s new with iOS 18.3. Users with an iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max will experience new Apple Intelligence notification summaries. The summaries feature italicized text, making them more distinguishable from other notifications. Notification summaries for News & Entertainment apps have been temporarily disabled. Users who opt-in to the notifications will see them again once they are available. The update also features updated Visual Intelligence for all iPhone 16 models. This update allows users to add an event to the Apple Calendar from a poster or flyer and identify plants and animals. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY.
