Scott Applewhite</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He knew nothing about the Ukrainian backchannel, his aides say.</p><p>He was unaware of a pull-aside meeting in Ukraine set up by a member of his own delegation, they insist.</p><p>And he was in the dark about a months-long campaign to push Ukraine’s leader to investigate President Donald Trump’s Democratic rivals, they attest — even as he met with and held calls with that leader.</p><p>Questions about what Mike Pence knew about the events that sparked the House impeachment investigation — and when he knew key facts — are back in the spotlight as an aide to the vice president testifies this week at a public hearing of the House Intelligence Committee. The inquiry centers on whether Trump abused his office for his own political gain by withholding crucial security aid from Ukraine as aides pressed the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to announce an investigation into the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign and into the business dealings of the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.</p><p>Pence’s team, for its part, is walking a thin political line in trying to make the case that the vice president was out of the loop on questionable aspects of Trump’s Ukraine policy while also presenting Pence as an influential voice in prodding the president to release the military aid.</p><p>Jennifer Williams, a career foreign service officer who was detailed to Pence's office from the State Department, is set to testify Tuesday. She compiled briefing materials for Pence on Ukraine, was in the room when he met with Zelenskiy in September and was among the staffers in the Situation Room who listened and took notes during Trump's July 25 call with Zelenskiy.</p><p>In closed-door testimony to impeachment investigators earlier this month, Williams said Trump's discussion of specific investigations in the July phone call struck her “as unusual and inappropriate.” The requests, she said, seemed tied to Trump's personal political agenda instead of broader U.S. foreign policy objectives, and seemed to point to "other motivations" for holding up the military aid.</p><p>Yet Williams said she never raised her concerns with anyone at the White House, including her boss, Pence national security adviser Keith Kellogg.</p><p>Williams said she included a copy of the call’s rough transcript in the vice president’s briefing book, but she had no way of knowing whether Pence read it. Pence has said that nothing about the transcript struck him as off-base, but hasn’t said when he first focused on it.</p><p>As the impeachment inquiry moves forward, Pence is broadly following the careful approach he took during much of the first two years of Trump’s presidency, as special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election hung over the administration. At times, he seemed cut off from how decisions were being made.</p><p>After the sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey, Pence echoed administration talking points that the decision by Trump to fire Comey came only after the president received a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Days later, Trump undercut Pence and others by saying he was planning to fire Comey even before the memo and had considered it since the start of his administration.</p><p>Pence’s aides have spent recent weeks trying to distance him from the impeachment inquiry, as Pence himself insists the president did nothing wrong.</p><p>Pence spokeswoman Katie Waldman has said the vice president was unaware of efforts to push Zelenskiy to release a statement announcing investigations. And Pence has said no such push came up during his September meeting with Zelenskiy in Warsaw, even as the leaders discussed the U.S. military aid that was under review.</p><p>Waldman also said Pence was unaware of the “brief pull-aside conversation” that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, reported having with a top aide to Zelenskiy following the Pence-Zelenskiy meeting. Sondland has said he told Andriy Yermak that the “resumption of U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anti-corruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks.”</p><p>Pence would hardly be the first vice president to find himself out of the loop.</p><p>Matt Bennett, who was serving as an aide to Vice President Al Gore when news of President Bill Clinton’s affair with a White House intern broke, recalled the vice president being caught offguard by the revelation. Bennett remembers Gore asking, “Who the hell is Monica Lewinsky?”</p><p>Compared with his recent predecessors, Pence has had less of an impact in shaping presidential policy initiatives, says Bennett. He said Trump often operates as a team of one.</p><p>George W. Bush, for instance, leaned heavily on Vice President Dick Cheney in carving out the rationale to launch the Iraq war and in designing the war on terrorism. Cheney was tasked to help vet potential running mates for Bush as a presidential candidate and ultimately ended up with the job himself.</p><p>Barack Obama asked Biden to spearhead his push to draw down troops from Iraq and deputized Biden to do the heavy lifting on an unsuccessful push to overhaul the nation’s gun laws following the rampage at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 26 dead. On the campaign trail, Biden often boasts that he was the “last person in the room” with Obama before every major decision.</p><p>Pence has instead largely served as an emissary for Trump, representing him on the global stage, defending his decisions and serving as a sounding board behind the scenes.</p><p>Some aspects of Pence’s involvement with Ukraine are still to be sorted out.</p><p>Williams’ closed-door testimony contradicted Pence aides who insisted the vice president canceled a planned trip to Ukraine for Zelenskiy’s inauguration in May because of logistical difficulties. Williams said under oath that a colleague had told her the trip was called off because Trump no longer wanted Pence to attend after initially pushing for him go, confirming previous reporting by The Associated Press.</p><p>But aides to Pence dispute that assertion, saying Ukraine’s Parliament formally set the date of Zelenskiy’s inauguration just a week before it took place on May 20. With the date up in the air, Pence’s team decided to instead send him to Canada to promote the benefits of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.</p><p>In an email obtained by The Associated Press, Williams told State Department officials and officials at the embassy in Kyiv on May 13 that she regretted “that the Vice President’s schedule has changed and he will not be able to attend President-elect Zelenskyy’s inauguration.”</p><p>Pence aides also said Williams only would have heard about the cancellation fourth-hand at best. And they notably did not defend her from Trump’s tweeted attacks over the weekend, insisting Pence doesn’t know who she is.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Holiday recipes: Whiskey meatballs, crostini &amp; roasted pineapple habanero cheeseball</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/sa-live/2019/11/18/holiday-recipes-whiskey-meatballs-crostini-roasted-pineapple-habanero-cheeseball/</link><description>Need a how-to for mouthwatering appetizers the whole family will crave come Turkey Day?

The wealthy financier died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls.</p><p>The officers on Epstein's unit at the federal jail in New York City are suspected of failing to check on him every half-hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to claim they had. Federal prosecutors offered the guards a plea bargain, but the <a href="https://apnews.com/11ae6142bbb84af49daae80b94f1b4e2">AP reported Friday</a> that the officers declined the deal.</p><p>The expected charges will be filed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who have been investigating Epstein’s Aug. 10 death. The people familiar with the matter insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.</p><p>Both guards were working overtime because of staffing shortages when Epstein was found. The officers have been placed on administrative leave while the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general investigate the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death.</p><p>The city’s medical examiner <a href="https://apnews.com/a947e0d85d31496eb5bd9ff4994c9718">ruled Epstein's death a suicide,</a> but that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theories. A forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s family to observe the autopsy has said authorities could help clear things up by being more transparent.</p><p>Epstein’s death ended the possibility of a trial that would have involved prominent figures, and it sparked widespread anger that he wouldn't have to answer for the allegations. He had pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing girls as young as 14 and young women in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.</p><p>Even with his death, federal prosecutors in New York <a href="https://apnews.com/15a112045c0947e7b33ba86322538233">have continued to investigate</a> the allegations against Epstein. The Justice Department has vowed to aggressively investigate and bring charges against anyone who may have helped him.</p><p>There is also a related investigation in Paris, where <a href="https://apnews.com/0f72b56ba3d14e26b5c2de6075147957">accusers are complaining</a> police haven't done enough to track down potential witnesses.</p><p>Epstein was placed on suicide watch after he was found July 23 on his cell floor with bruises on his neck. Multiple people familiar with operations at the jail have said Epstein was taken off suicide watch about a week before his death, meaning he was less closely monitored but still supposed to be checked on every 30 minutes.</p><p>Investigators believe those checks weren't done for several hours before Epstein was discovered in his cell with a bedsheet around his neck, another person familiar with the matter told the AP.</p><p>The falsification of records has been a problem throughout the federal prison system, which has been plagued for years by systematic failures, from massive staffing shortages to chronic violence.</p><p>In an internal memo earlier this month, the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ new director, Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, said a review of operations across the agency found some staff members failed to perform required rounds and inmate counts but logged that they had done so anyway.</p><p>Staff members who are indicted by a grand jury will be placed on indefinite, unpaid suspension until the resolution of the criminal case, Hawk Sawyer wrote in the memo to top prison officials, a copy of which was obtained by the AP.</p><p>__</p><p>Hays reported from New York.

Past failures to level with the American people. A tough week for the White House as public impeachment hearings got under way.</p><p>Add it all up, and President Donald Trump’s unscheduled weekend visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center raised suspicions about his health, despite White House officials’ insistence that the president was merely getting a head start on his annual physical.</p><p>For any president, a sudden trip to the hospital would raise questions. But such scrutiny was magnified with a president who has a history of exaggeration and playing loose with the facts, giving skeptics room to run with their own theories.</p><p>“The one thing you can be absolutely sure of is this was not routine and he didn't go up there for half his physical,” tweeted Joe Lockhart, a press secretary under President Bill Clinton, who was himself impeached for perjury and obstruction. “What does it mean? It means that we just won't know what the medical issue was.”</p><p>The president’s medical appointment wasn’t listed on his Saturday public schedule, and his last physical was just nine months ago. Press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the 73-year-old president was “anticipating a very busy 2020” and wanted to take advantage of “a free weekend” in Washington to begin portions of his routine checkup.</p><p>She did not specify which tests he’d received or explain why the visit had not been disclosed in advance. Trump’s 2018 and 2019 physicals were both announced ahead of time. Grisham said after the visit that the president had gotten “a quick exam and labs.”</p><p>“The President remains healthy and energetic without complaints, as demonstrated by his repeated vigorous rally performances in front of thousands of Americans several times a week,” she said.</p><p>But some weren’t buying Grisham’s explanation.</p><p>“The real Donald Trump is getting exposed for what he's done, and that's what's driving him to the doctor,” Rahm Emanuel, a former Clinton aide and Chicago mayor, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”</p><p>Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said it’s reasonable for the press to be asking questions about the president’s health. She said the country has a long history of presidents hiding physical ailments from the public.</p><p>Woodrow Wilson suffered a paralytic stroke in 1919 and the full details of his disability were kept from the public. Franklin D. Roosevelt won a fourth term despite severe hypertension that would contribute to his death 11 weeks into his term. Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack in his first term, in 1955, and a reassessment of his medical records and public information four decades later found that the information released to the public was recast to serve the president’s political interests ahead of his 1956 reelection campaign.</p><p>Jamieson noted that Trump was criticized for releasing only cursory details on his health prior to the election. The president’s doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, wrote in December 2015 that Trump would "unequivocally" be the healthiest president in history and deemed the celebrity businessman's condition "astonishingly excellent." Bornstein later said he wrote the note in five minutes while a limo sent by the candidate waited outside his office.</p><p>Jamieson said there is a set of expectations about how a president’s annual exam is handled, which includes the advance public notice that the Trump White House provided for his first two exams. She said the reasonable question is: “If this is routine, why was it not handled in a routine manner?”</p><p>Grisham said everything the White House has said about the Walter Reed visit is “true and accurate.”</p><p>“Just because it was done a little differently doesn’t mean anything is wrong,” she said.</p><p>Trump and the White House have characterized the visit as “phase 1” of his annual physical. But the explanation raised questions simply because its handling was unusual.</p><p>First, annual physicals typically aren’t performed in installments unless someone needs a special test not available at their doctor’s office — something that shouldn’t be an issue at a military hospital. Nor are they usually performed three months early; Trump’s last physical was last February.</p><p>Some lab tests might be performed every few months if a doctor suspects a problem, but otherwise blood tests such as a check of whether Trump’s medication is keeping his high cholesterol in check normally would be performed at the one-year mark.</p><p>His prior physicals were scheduled in advance not only because that’s how doctors schedule everyone’s “wellness” check-ups — even VIPs — but because a presidential visit to a hospital prompts extra security concerns.</p><p>___</p><p>AP Medical Writer Lauran Neergaard contributed to this report.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Do CBD products contain what they claim?</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/do-cbd-products-contain-what-they-claim/</link><description>The booming business of CBD is largely unregulated, which makes it challenging for consumers to know if they are getting what they pay for.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/do-cbd-products-contain-what-they-claim/</guid><dc:creator>Marilyn Moritz, Eddie Latigo</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 23:26:07 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CBD sales are exploding as more people turn to it as a retail remedy for what ails them -- from pain and inflammation to insomnia and anxiety.</p><p>But the booming business is largely unregulated, making it challenging for consumers to know if they are getting what they pay for.</p><p>"It's been life-changing for me," said Mary Fernandez, who was having trouble keeping up with her grandchildren.</p><p>"With my arthritis, especially bending over and getting up, it was painful," she said.</p><p>Fernandez decided to try CBD oil for her pain and inflammation.</p><p>"You just notice, 'Wow, I can bend down.

It's not the part of cannabis that can make you high.</p><p>With recent law changes, it is legal in Texas. Consumers can find it for sale in a variety of products at a wide range of places, from health stores to high-end boutiques to vape shops and gas stations.</p><p>To see if what's listed on the label matched what's inside the packages and bottles, KSAT 12 News bought 12 CBD products, including oils and gummies, from stores around town.</p><p>With labels concealed, the products were shipped to Evio Labs in Berkeley, California, for analysis.</p><p>The results? Out of 12 products, the lab found four that came close to matching the amount of CBD claimed on their labels. Two more were within about 20 percent of their claim. Half of them were off by even more -- some a lot more.</p><p>A package of gummies from Hemp Bombs claimed 15 mg in one gummy. The lab found a gummy actually had 19 mg of CBD, 23% more than the package claimed.</p><p>Another Hemp Bombs' product fell really short.

But the lab found 165 mg. A second bottle from the same batch showed even less, 147 mg.</p><p>Green Roads responded, saying their third-party lab test showed 272 mg in a bottle from the batch in question.</p><p>"Disparities in testing results can be caused by a variety of factors, including differences in testing procedures and standards," a Green Roads company spokesman said.

We will continue to invest heavily in quality control -- including in-house lab testing and current Good Manufacturing Practices."</p><p>FULL STATEMENT FROM GREEN ROADS: “Green Roads’ commitment to quality, purity and transparency is unparalleled in the CBD industry. Every Green Roads product is tested by Kaycha Labs (formerly Evio Labs of Florida), an industry leader in the testing of hemp products and an ISO 17025 certified laboratory that is the official testing facility of the State of Florida and state law enforcement. The batch in question was tested by Kaycha to have approximately 272 mg of CBD in a 250 mg bottle, fully compliant with FDA guidelines. Disparities in testing results can be caused by a variety of factors, including differences in testing procedures and standards. We stand behind the quality and purity of our products.”</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Body of San Antonio man believed to be in danger found in Bandera County</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/missing-san-antonio-man-believed-to-be-in-danger-foul-play-suspected/</link><description>The body of Wilfredo Cabello was found in Bandera County Monday.

</p><p>Patrick Frazee has been found guilty of murdering his fiancee, Kelsey <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/patrick-frazee-accused-beating-kelsey-berreth-death-baseball-bat-during-new-testimony-50882" target="_blank">Berreth,</a> who vanished last year on Thanksgiving Day. Her body has not been found.</p><p>
</p><p>A six-man, six-woman jury deliberated for less than four hours Monday before convicting Frazee on all counts filed against him, including first-degree murder, three counts of solicitation to commit murder and tampering with a corpse.</p><p>
</p><p>The 33-year-old defendant had pleaded not guilty to killing his 29-year-old fiancee. His trial began Nov. 1.</p><p>
</p><p>Berreth was seen near her Colorado home on Nov. 22, 2018. Surveillance video showed her shopping at a grocery store earlier in the day, with the couple's 1-year-old daughter.</p><p>
</p><p>On Friday, Frazee's ex-girlfriend took the stand in his trial and said Berreth's last words were "please stop," as Frazee beat her to death with a baseball bat. </p><p>
</p><p>Krystal Lee, a nurse from Idaho, said she and Frazee discussed the killing and he told her Berreth's last words. She is charged with tampering with evidence in connection with Berreth's disappearance. She pleaded guilty in February and is testifying against her ex-lover as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.</p><p>
</p><p>Berreth's mother reported her missing on Dec. 2, after days of being unable to reach her.</p><p>
</p><p>Lee told jurors that Frazee called her on Thanksgiving and said she needed to come over and clean up a mess at <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/fiance-missing-mom-kelsey-berreth-hopes-and-prays-her-return-49181" target="_blank">Berreth's </a>condo.</p><p>
</p><p>At the home, Lee said she saw blood on the living room floor, splattered on the walls, behind the couch and in the kitchen. It took four hours to clean up the mess, she said. She did it, she said, to protect <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/evidence-missing-colorado-mom-kelsey-berreth-found-idaho-authorities-49477" target="_blank">Berreth's </a>daughter and mother.</p><p>
</p><p>"Her mom and that little girl never needed to see what Patrick did to her," she testified. "And I didn't know he was capable of that. I didn't think he was capable of what happened."</p><p>
</p><p>Lee said she filled six garbage bags with items including stuffed animals and couch pillows because she couldn't get the blood out of them. </p><p>
</p><p>She feared <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/fiance-missing-mom-kelsey-berreth-hopes-and-prays-her-return-49181" target="_blank">Frazee </a>would also harm her, she said, so she did as he asked. "I left little spots so that somebody would see it and it would raise suspicion about what had happened," she said.</p><p>
</p><p>Afterward, Lee said she met Frazee and he told her what happened. He said he told Berreth they were going to play a game, and he blindfolded her and then had her guess the scent of various candles, Lee testified. Then he hit her in the head with a baseball bat, she said.</p><p>
</p><p>"He just said he swung away, and that it was really hard," Lee told the court. The two took the trash bags and a container holding Berreth's body to Frazee's ranch, where he burned the contents, she said. </p><p>
</p><p>Frazee gave her Berreth's cellphone and told her to get rid of it, Lee said. She burned it and disposed of it in Idaho, where she lives.</p><p>
</p><p>Lee also testified that Frazee had asked her three times to kill <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/kelsey-berreths-fiance-gentle-soul-who-would-never-hurt-anyone-friend-says-49334" target="_blank">Berreth </a>herself, saying Berreth was an abusive mother. Lee said she couldn't do it.</p><p>

Gavin Newsom that gives those who say they were sexually abused until age 40, up from age 26, to file lawsuits. It also gives victims of all ages a three-year window to sue, starting Jan. 1.</p><p>The Associated Press does not typically name victims of sexual abuse, but Robson and Safechuck have repeatedly come forward and approved of the use of their names and faces.</p><p>The tentative decision does not revive the actual Jackson estate as a defendant. A 2015 decision throwing out that part of the lawsuit will stand. The remaining defendants are the two corporate entities, MJJ Productions, Inc., and MJJ Ventures, Inc.</p><p>Attorneys for Jackson’s estate accepted that the cases must be returned to the trial court under the new legislation, but emphasized that the ruling is unrelated to the allegations they have long denounced as demonstrably false.</p><p>“This new law extends the time for genuine victims of abuse to file legal claims,” Jackson estate attorney Howard L. Weitzman said in a statement. “The appellate court’s tentative ruling is not on the merits of Robson and Safechuck’s allegations and the court in no way said that these cases will go to trial. Neither does it reverse the 2015 rulings dismissing Robson and Safechuck’s claims against the estate, which are final and no longer subject to any appeals. We are confident that the claims against Michael Jackson’s corporate entities will, once again, be dismissed as has happened before.”</p><p>Robson testified in Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, in which the singer was acquitted, that Jackson had never molested or mistreated him, and Safechuck once said the same to authorities investigation Jackson, who died in 2009.</p><p>The men and their attorneys have said that stress and trauma that persisted into adulthood finally led them to accept that they had been sexually abused and go public.</p><p>Jackson’s estate is suing HBO over “Leaving Neverland,” in which Robson and Safechuck gave director Dan Reed graphic accounts of what they said were hundreds of instances of sexual abuse by Jackson over several years. A federal judge has ruled that case should be handled in private arbitration.</p><p>___</p><p>Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton">https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>How to make a truly delicious cup of coffee</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/sponsored/2019/11/18/how-to-make-a-truly-delicious-cup-of-coffee/</link><description>Receive a free coffee by playing this contest!</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/sponsored/2019/11/18/how-to-make-a-truly-delicious-cup-of-coffee/</guid><dc:creator>Kiersten Ehr</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:05:35 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cold weather has made its way to San Antonio and nothing sounds more perfect than a hot cup of coffee from to stay warm.</p><p>By playing in KSAT12′s Circle K Secret Word of the Day contest on GMSA at 6 a.m. weekdays, you will receive a free medium-sized coffee coupon.</p><p><b>How to make a delicious cup of coffee:</b></p><ul><li>Choose between iced coffee or hot coffee.</li><li>Pick your coffee flavor (Examples: house blend, decaf, Texas Pecan, harvest spice, 100% Columbian, hazelnut).</li><li>Find your perfect creamer or sugar.</li><li>Stir your coffee and enjoy!</li></ul><p>To top off a delicious cup of coffee, try pairing it with a donut, kolache or taco to complete breakfast.</p><p><a href="https://www.ksat.com/2019/09/09/enter-here-circle-k-secret-word-of-the-day-contest-on-gmsa-6/" target="_blank">Enter the Circle K Secret Word of the Day contest here. </a></p><p>For more information, visit <a href="http://circlektexas.com/" target="_blank">circlektexas.com</a>.</p><p><div class="mv-widget" data-height="auto" data-id="dFk0bqki2Z80gdjRHZG7wSb3L0T" data-widget="poll" data-width="100%"></div>

Col. Alexander Vindman, a military officer at the National Security Council, center, arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington. Vindman is set to deliver public testimony about President Donald Trumps alleged attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

(AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)</media:description><media:credit role="author">Patrick Semansky</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The decorated soldier and White House aide who saw it as his "sacred duty" to speak out against President Donald Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign is about to get his chance to tell his story publicly.</p><p>But when Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman appears before the House <a href="https://apnews.com/Trumpimpeachmentinquiry">impeachment panel</a> Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans are expected to press competing narratives about the 20-year Army veteran and his tenure on the White House National Security Council.</p><p>When he spoke to House investigators <a href="https://apnews.com/c45cb728edf84d96adf9a88e98979c51">in a closed-door session last month</a>, Vindman said he was concerned that Trump’s push for Ukraine’s leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son’s dealings with the energy company Burisma in the eastern European nation was harmful to both Washington and Kyiv’s interests.</p><p>“I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications to the U.S. Government's support of Ukraine,” Vindman said in his deposition.</p><p>“I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play, which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained. This would all undermine U.S. national security.”</p><p>Vindman, a central figure in the Democrats’ case that Trump abused his power, also said in closed session that he twice raised concerns that Trump and his European Union ambassador, Gordon Sondland, inappropriately pushed Ukrainian leaders to investigate the Bidens.</p><p>But Vindman’s former boss <a href="https://apnews.com/d2408ac4778a4cdb840cbee0988a4273">, Tim Morrison</a>, said in his own deposition that he and others had concerns about Vindman’s judgment.</p><p>Under questioning from GOP impeachment counsel Steve Castor, Morrison said others at the White House had raised concerns that Vindman might leak information. He also said that senior NSC official Fiona Hill had “raised concerns about Alex’s judgment” as the two discussed the strengths and weaknesses of their team.</p><p>Morrison succeeded Hill as the top NSC adviser on European affairs in July but left the post last month.</p><p>Morrison, who is also scheduled to testify publicly on Tuesday, said at one point he decided to exclude Vindman from conversations at the NSC that could be related to the eventual inquiry.</p><p>“I took steps early on to attempt to protect my people from being dragged into this process -- what I expected would become a process,” Morrison said of Vindman. “And when I saw that there was a process that was going to happen, I took steps to ensure that neither myself nor they would subsequently be accused of coordinating testimony.”</p><p>Vindman said that the White House’s rough transcript of the July 25 Trump-Zelenskiy call excluded some key passages, including an explicit mention by Zelenskiy of Burisma Holdings, the energy company where Biden’s son served on the board. The Army officer said that he pushed to have the transcript edited to reflect the missing passages but they were not included.</p><p>Morrison, however, said that the only edits Vindman, a fluent Ukrainian speaker, requested were related to corrections in translation. Those changes, Morrison said, were incorporated into the memorandum of the call.</p><p>Rep. John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican, pushed back against Vindman’s contention during his deposition that Trump demanded Zelenskiy open an investigation on the Bidens.</p><p>But Vindman countered that Ratcliffe was discounting the dynamic between Trump and Zelenskiy, who desperately wanted to demonstrate the strength of the U.S.-Ukraine relationship to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine is entrenched in a more than five-year war with Russian backed separatists in the eastern part of the country.</p><p>“So, Congressman, the power disparity between the president of the United States and the president of Ukraine is vast,” Vindman said.</p><p>Vindman was only 3 years old in 1979 when he and his two brothers, father and grandmother fled Ukraine, then a Soviet republic, for the U.S. His twin Yevgeny is an attorney on the NSC.</p><p>Earlier in his Army career, he served as an infantry officer and did tours in South Korea, Germany and Iraq. In October 2004, not long into his yearlong tour in Iraq, he was wounded by a roadside bomb and awarded the Purple Heart, according to the Defense Department. Vindman showed up for his closed-door deposition in full uniform, including his Purple Heart ribbon, a Ranger tab and Combat Infantry Badge.</p><p>Since 2008, he's served as a foreign area officer specializing in Eurasia, leading him to stints in Kiev and Moscow. He also served as a political-military affairs officer for Russia for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He moved to the Trump White House in July 2018 after being tapped to serve on the National Security Council.</p><p>Trump has slammed Vindman as a "Never Trumper" who he was unfamiliar with. Voting records show Vindman was previously registered as a Democrat.</p><p>"Supposedly, according to the Corrupt Media, the Ukraine call 'concerned' today's Never Trumper witness. Was he on the same call that I was?" Trump tweeted. "Can't be possible! Please ask him to read the Transcript of the call."</p><p>Behind the scenes, White House officials have sought to downplay the issues raised by Vindman. Senior administration officials argued that Vindman’s beef is a “policy dispute" with the president and other White House officials over Ukraine aid.</p><p>___</p><p>Follow Aamer Madhani on Twitter at http://twitter.com/@AamerISmad</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>The Latest: State Department’s Holmes to testify publicly</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/the-latest-state-departments-holmes-to-testify-publicly/</link><description>A State Department official who overheard a phone call between President Donald Trump and diplomat Gordon Sondland over the summer will testify publicly in Thursday’s impeachment hearing</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/the-latest-state-departments-holmes-to-testify-publicly/</guid><dc:creator></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 21:41:36 +0000</pubDate><media:group><media:content height="3356" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/MgxwaDaiGTAoHXKTJfg43gEgRGc=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/T6JGTUYG3NC4ZI7RJRQ7HE6ISQ.jpg" width="4800"><media:description type="plain">David Holmes, a career diplomat and the political counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Ukaine leaves the Capitol Hill, Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, in Washington, after a deposition before congressional lawmakers as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

</p><p>There are questions swirling about <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/inside-trumps-doral-resort-which-will-host-next-years-g-7-summit-56776" target="_blank">President Trump's</a> sudden trip to the hospital over the weekend.</p><p>
</p><p><a href="https://www.insideedition.com/medal-of-honor-recipient-says-he-doesnt-feel-disrespected-by-photoshopped-image-of-raid-dog-56994" target="_blank">The president</a> left the White House at 2:15 p.m.Saturday looking casual with no tie and carrying a manila folder. Just over 30 minutes later, he arrived at Walter Reed Medical Center in an unannounced trip, catching many by <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/what-is-a-stent-and-what-does-it-do-56413" target="_blank">surprise</a>. Apparently, he spontaneously decided to have part of his annual physical exam.</p><p>
</p><p>“We have a really busy year ahead, so the president decided to go to Walter Reed and get a head start with some routine checkups as part of his annual exam. That's all it was. We had a down day today so he made the decision to head there,” White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said on Fox News.</p><p>
</p><p>Dr. Sanjay Gupta challenged the White House's casual attitude, saying on CNN, “\Patient shows up, somewhat of an unannounced visit to the hospital, what's going on? What prompted this visit? It's really odd.”</p><p>
</p><p>Dr. Jonathan Lapook is the chief medical correspondent for CBS News. He told Inside Edition, "Often we get a heads up and we say, 'okay, the president is going to get an exam.' But this president is under no obligation to let us know he is coming. This president does things unpredictably and may this was one of those occasions." </p><p>
</p><p>Trump's last physical was in February and he didn't exactly get a clean bill of health. He was found to be clinically obese, taking medication for high cholesterol and have a form of heart disease.</p><p>
</p><p>But according to the White House, he's all good. Grisham added, “He’s as healthy as can be.” </p><p>
</p><p>When he returned to the White House, he screened “Joker” for family and friends.</p><p>

</p><p>Two chemistry <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/substitute-teacher-arrested-after-cellphone-video-allegedly-shows-her-repeatedly-punching-student" target="_blank">teachers</a> are accused of channeling “Breaking Bad” kingpin Walter White and cooking their own meth. </p><p>
</p><p>Earlier in the semester, students noticed an unusual chemical smell in the science labs at Henderson State University in Arkansas, according to reports. Soon after, associate professors Bradley Rowland, 40, and Terry Bateman, 45, were <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/woman-sues-police-after-she-was-tasered-while-in-a-restraint-chair-57097" target="_blank">charged</a> with manufacturing methamphetamine and using drug paraphernalia. </p><p>
</p><p>In a 2014 profile in the college newspaper, Rowland was referred to as "Henderson's Heisenberg,” a reference to Walter White's drug lord alias. In the interview, Rowland described how authentic "Breaking Bad" was, saying, “What it has really done is, it has gotten a whole new young generation interested in chemistry."</p><p>
</p><p>The professors, who also ran the university's chemistry club together, have been placed on administrative leave. No date has been set for their <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/fantastic-adventures-mom-accused-of-abusing-her-7-adopted-kids-dies-awaiting-trial-57182" target="_blank">court appearance</a>, they have both pleaded not guilty. </p><p>

</p><p>Seven months after an <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/how-police-worked-through-night-save-8-year-old-kidnapped-front-mom-53075" target="_blank">8-year-old girl was kidnapped</a> while walking with her mom in their Texas neighborhood, police released heart-stopping video of the moment officers busted into the suspect's hotel room and rescued her.</p><p>
</p><p>Michael Webb, 51, kidnapped the 8-year-old girl on May 18 as she was walking with her mom in Fort Worth. As the distraught mom tried to fight him off, he was able to get the girl in his car and take off. She called 911 and police immediately went searching for the girl. </p><p>
</p><p>A tip led police in nearby Forest Hills to an area hotel, but officers left the room after seeing no apparent sign of a child being held. Fortunately, cops from the Fort Worth Police Department responded to the same hotel following another tip. After some digging, officers believed that had found their guy. After they arrested Webb, the girl popped her head out of a laundry basket where she was hiding underneath a pile of clothes. She was afraid to make a noise because the suspect had threatened to hurt her and her family.</p><p>
</p><p>In the chilling video, cops take down Webb in the hallway of the hotel. The officers, who were in full protective gear, were clearly not taking any chances. </p><p>
</p><p>Webb was charged with <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/parents-say-aniah-blanchards-kidnapping-seems-like-it-was-planned-57226" target="_blank">kidnapping</a> and sexual assault, and a jury took less than 10 minutes to <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/teen-charged-with-conspiracy-to-murder-her-boyfriend-says-she-didnt-want-him-dead-57227" target="_blank">convict</a> him back in September. Last week, he was sentenced to life in prison.</p><p>
</p><p>“We believe that justice has been served in this case," Erin Nealy Cox, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas, told reporters Thursday following the sentencing. "My hope is that this family and this community will find solace in knowing that he will never be able to harm another little child again.”</p><p>

</p><p><a href="https://www.insideedition.com/media/videos/former-first-lady-hillary-clinton-visits-meghan-markle-at-frogmore-cottage-57236" target="_blank">Britain's</a> Prince Andrew is facing criticism over his BBC interview about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who died behind bars in August after being charged with sex trafficking.</p><p>
</p><p>The <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/princess-dianas-butler-says-meghan-markle-is-struggling-like-she-did-56857" target="_blank">royal</a> addressed the notorious 2001 photo of him posing with a person named Victoria Roberts, who was just 17 at the time. He denied ever having sex with her. “I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened,” he declared in the interview. </p><p>
</p><p>Roberts also offered further details about her alleged time with Andrew, describing him as “sweating profusely” when they were partying in London.</p><p>
</p><p>However, Andrew said he didn't sweat during that time of his life.</p><p>
</p><p>“I had suffered what I would describe an overdose of adrenaline during the Falkland’s War when I was shot at,” he claimed.</p><p>
</p><p><a href="https://www.insideedition.com/princess-dianas-butler-says-meghan-markle-is-struggling-like-she-did-56857" target="_blank">Inside Edition spoke</a> to Dr. Sonia Batra, co-host of "The Doctors," on Andrew's claim. She says his claim could be possible. Batra said he could have had "a form of PTSD " where his body has a "down stream effect to produce sweat."  </p><p>
</p><p>Back in September, Roberts issued to a public challenge to the prince when she appeared in court following Epstein’s suicide, saying, “He knows exactly what he's done and I hope he comes clean about it.”</p><p>
</p><p>When asked to respond to that challenge, he said, “I don't have a message for her.”</p><p>
</p><p>While Prince Andrew admitted he stayed at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan mansion even after the financier was convicted of having sex with minors, the royal explained he did it because “it was a convenient place to stay.” </p><p>
</p><p>And he claimed that he was photographed with Epstein in Central Park in 2010 because he was telling the tycoon their friendship was over.</p><p>

(AP Photo/John Locher)</media:description><media:credit role="author">John Locher</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pete Buttigieg will speak at historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta on Monday as he tries to expand his appeal among black voters who are critical to winning the Democratic presidential primary.</p><p>The 37-year-old white mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is gaining momentum in the overwhelmingly white early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. But unless his campaign can broaden its reach to minorities, he could stall in more diverse states such as Nevada and South Carolina.</p><p>Buttigieg has spent recent weeks reaching out to black Democratic figures, from well-known senior leaders to city and community level activists, and gets high marks for being an attentive listener. But the pressure is building to demonstrate he can win over black voters, who for now have largely sided with former Vice President Joe Biden.</p><p>“I applaud his efforts” to “build out his coalition,” said Nikema Williams, the first black woman to become Georgia Democratic Party chairwoman. Still, she said, he “has a lot of work to do.”</p><p>That makes his appearance at the historically black, all-male Morehouse especially important. Buttigieg plans to unveil a post-secondary education plan that would, among other things, dedicate $50 million to Morehouse and other HBCUs.</p><p>Julian Hemmings, president of the New Deal Democrats at Morehouse, said that when he mentions Buttigieg on campus, the response is mostly, “Who?” But then the 21-year-old senior tells them about the mayor’s identities as a gay man, a veteran and a Rhodes scholar and his classmates become intrigued.</p><p>“I think if he can emphasize who he is and where he comes from, he’ll have a chance,” Hemmings said. “I don’t know him, but he’s brilliant and I respect him.”</p><p>He said Buttigieg’s status as a gay man could help voters of color who have felt ostracized identify with him.</p><p>Buttigieg has risen into the top tier in Iowa, which hosts 2020’s first presidential caucuses, challenging his better-known rivals Elizabeth Warren, Biden and Bernie Sanders. Polls show similar traction for him in New Hampshire, home of the first 2020 primary and where he has built a robust campaign organization and traveled regularly in recent weeks.</p><p>Warren and Sanders are also struggling to woo black voters away from Biden.</p><p>Buttigieg has talked about systemic racism on the campaign trail and the debate stage, and unveiled a lengthy plan this summer aimed specifically at redressing generations of inequality in areas ranging from education to housing to health care. Buttigieg has spoken about his Douglass Plan — named for abolitionist Frederick Douglass — in front of white and minority communities.</p><p>But since entering the national spotlight, Buttigieg has drawn attention for his handling of race issues as mayor of South Bend, which has a black population of about 27%. Critics slammed him for firing the city’s first black police chief shortly after taking office, for his handling of blighted neighborhoods and for a recent police-involved killing of an unarmed black man.</p><p>Last week, his campaign faced fresh scrutiny for using a stock photograph of a black woman and her child on a campaign website, instead of images of people Buttigieg had met, and for listing among South Carolina Democrats who had endorsed the Douglass Plan a handful of people who said they had not given their permission to use their names publicly.</p><p>___</p><p>Beaumont reported from Des Moines, Iowa.

That means U.S. firms aren't allowed to sell technology to Huawei without government approval.</p><p>The limited reprieve renewed Monday applies to technology sales and transfers necessary for existing networks and services to continue to operate. It was not unexpected and represents the second such extension.</p><p>Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the extension will allow wireless companies to keep offering service in remote parts of the U.S. Larger U.S. wireless companies do not use equipment from Huawei, while smaller, rural carriers do.</p><p>Despite sanctions, numerous loopholes have been exploited. U.S. companies, for example, continue to supply Huawei with chips made outside the United States. Nor do the sanctions bar U.S. telecoms from buying Huawei equipment — though <a href="https://apnews.com/afc2d4dea36846b997f00f21ac69d7ea">the Federal Communications Commission is moving toward</a> banning federal subsidies for such purchases.</p><p>President Donald Trump has sent mixed signals on Huawei, enmeshing it in the trade war between Washington and Beijing and showing a willingness to <a href="https://www.apnews.com/8c197dc0f4624816b1bc61762bb8d899">use the sanctions</a> as a bargaining chip.</p><p>Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer decried that strategy.</p><p>“If President Trump and his Commerce Department agree that Huawei is a national security threat, they should start acting like it,” he said in a statement. “Every day President Trump is soft on Huawei, the Chinese Communist Party takes that as a signal that they can continue hurting American jobs and threatening our national security without any repercussions.”</p><p>Earlier this month, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-03/ross-optimistic-on-china-trade-deal-says-huawei-licenses-coming">told Bloomberg that</a> his agency had received 260 requests for licenses from U.S. companies to be exempt from the so-called “entity list” sanctions. Ross said “quite a few” would soon be granted. Such an exemption would not dependent on 90-day renewals.</p><p>Huawei is the biggest global maker of network gear for phone and internet companies and the No. 2 smartphone brand. The company denies U.S. accusations that it is a security risk and might facilitate Chinese spying.

That list no longer includes the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Both organizations have taken controversial stands on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.</p><p>In 2018, the Chick-fil-A foundation donated $1.65 million to the FCA and $115,000 to The Salvation Army, the company revealed Monday.</p><p>The FCA writes in its employee application that "neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitute an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God." It also states on its website that "marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman."</p><p>The Salvation Army has said in the past that the Bible forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex, that gay Christians should embrace celibacy and that scripture does not support same-sex marriages, according to Snopes. However, the Salvation Army says its services are available to all people, and the organization strongly refutes accusations that it is anti-LGBTQ.</p><p>Neither organization immediately replied to CNN Business' request for comment.</p><p>Going forward, Chick-fil-A said it will work exclusively with organizations that focus on education, homelessness and hunger. Those are Junior Achievement USA, Covenant House International and donating $25,000 local food banks.</p><p>"No organization will be excluded from future consideration — faith-based or non-faith-based," said Tim Tassopoulos, president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, in a statement. But that leaves open the opportunity that it could donate to foundations in the future that might hold anti-LGBTQ views.</p><p>Chick-fil-A's donations and comments from its executives have sparked controversy over the past several years. CEO Dan Cathy said in 2012 that the company supports "the biblical definition of the family unit." In a 2018 interview with a local Atlanta TV station, Cathy reiterated his position on same-sex marriage but said he's not anti-gay.</p><p>Gay rights organization GLAAD said in a statement that Chick-fil-A customers and employees should "greet today's announcement with cautious optimism" but says the company still has a checkered policy when it comes to LGBTQ rights.</p><p>"In addition to refraining from financially supporting anti-LGBTQ organizations, Chick-fil-A still lacks policies to ensure safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees and should unequivocally speak out against the anti-LGBTQ reputation that their brand represents," said Drew Anderson, GLAAD's director of campaigns and rapid response.</p><p>The Georgia-based company is increasingly expanding into more liberal areas. It recently opened restaurants in New York City. Since it’s privately held, sales figures aren’t public but recent research found that Chick-fil-A generated $9 billion in sales in 2017. One estimate points to $10.5 billion in sales in 2018, according to Nation’s Restaurants News.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>US cancels civil nuclear cooperation waiver for Iran</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/us-cancels-civil-nuclear-cooperation-waiver-for-iran/</link><description>Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is cancelling one of four sanctions waivers that had allowed foreign companies to work with Iran's civilian nuclear program without U.S. penalties</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/us-cancels-civil-nuclear-cooperation-waiver-for-iran/</guid><dc:creator>Matthew Lee</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 19:34:38 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2453" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/Nj7Ah-mgIHVRf1eEgNdW7nX9Sgo=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/UZ53CO6CX5CT7HSQQ2VDGLYJAU.jpg" width="3680"><media:description type="plain">Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, right, shakes hands with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, left, as they pose for a photo at the State Department in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019.

Pompeo also warned Iran’s leadership not to crack down on protests that recent fuel price increases have sparked.</p><p>The waivers are among the last remaining components of the 2015 nuclear deal the Trump administration withdrew from last year.</p><p>Pompeo said the waiver for Iran’s once-secret Fordow site will be eliminated Dec. 15. Iran recently announced it would resume uranium enrichment at the fortified facility, which is built into a mountain.</p><p>“The right amount of uranium enrichment for the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism is zero,” he said. “There is no legitimate reason for Iran to resume enrichment at this previously clandestine site. Iran should reverse its activity there immediately.”</p><p>Iran hawks in Congress have been pressing Pompeo to eliminate all the waivers but have most strenuously objected to the one that allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to work at Fordow. The waivers for Fordow as well as the Bushehr nuclear power station, the Arak heavy water plant and the Tehran Research Reactor were last extended in late October.</p><p>Nuclear deal critics, including Trump allies like Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Tom Cotton of Arkansas and GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, have long argued that the waivers should be revoked because they give Iran access to technology that could be used for weapons. In particular, they have targeted a waiver that allows conversion work at the once-secret Fordow.</p><p>They had announced plans to introduce legislation requiring the administration to cancel the waivers.</p><p>Deal supporters say the waivers give international experts a valuable window into Iran's atomic program that might otherwise not exist. They also say some of the work, particularly at the Tehran reactor on nuclear isotopes that can be used in medicine, is humanitarian in nature.</p><p>The protests around Iran have led to a curtailment in Iranians’ internet access, and some of them have been met with violent responses.</p><p>Pompeo said Iran “must cease violence against its own people and must immediately restore the ability of all Iranians to access a free and open internet.

Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / The Texas Tribune.</media:description></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The inauguration of the Texas governor and lieutenant governor — traditionally two days of parties, picnics and parades — has been transformed into a giant payday for campaign staff and fundraisers.</p><p>The money spent on personnel, including payroll and fundraising, has skyrocketed during Gov. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/directory/greg-abbott/">Greg Abbott</a>'s two swearing-in celebrations, dwarfing spending in those categories during the Rick Perry era, which spanned more than a decade, according to records obtained by The Texas Tribune.</p><p>The committee reported raising a record $5.3 million for inaugural events this year — $4.9 million of it from donors — and $1,860,624 of it was paid to inaugural committee salaries, “professional fees” and fundraising. That’s a six-fold increase from Perry’s last swearing-in ceremony, in 2011, when some $300,000 was spent on those categories.</p><p>Fundraising alone made up 17.5% of the amount raised this year, or $931,000, and inaugural staffers received another $899,000. The categories were up 54% and 159%, respectively, from Abbott’s first inauguration in 2015 — which was the first year fundraising was listed as a line item, according to available inaugural records dating to 1979.</p><p>A Republican operative said spending that much of the total haul on fundraising fees “sounds exorbitant.” Another called it “absurd.”</p><p>“That is nuts!” the second operative said. “Egregious and wrong.”</p><p>Both requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.</p><p>The money for this year’s inaugural largely came from 219 contributions, 12 of which were for six-figure amounts. That would mean the committee spent more than $4,000 on fundraising for each contribution, which averaged $22,580.</p><p>One of the inaugural committee’s fundraisers was a team led by Abbott’s campaign finance director, Sarah Whitley. She referred questions to the governor’s spokesman, John Wittman, who said the fundraising figure appears correct but declined to comment on whether it was excessive.</p><p>Wittman could not say whether any of the money went to services like designing and printing materials — items that typically raise the cost of fundraising.</p><p>He has said no state dollars were spent on the festivities and that none of the $800,000 donated by the inaugural committee to charities — which <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2019/10/09/2019-texas-inauguration-cost-53-million-where-are-receipts/">he wouldn’t name</a> — benefited entities tied to Abbott or the government.</p><p>Another inaugural fundraiser was a group called Fundraising Solutions, which lists Lt. Gov. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/directory/dan-patrick/">Dan Patrick</a> as a “current client” and describes high-profile Republicans like Rudy Giuliani, U.S. Sen. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/directory/ted-cruz/">Ted Cruz</a> and former presidential contender Bob Dole as “past successes” on its website.</p><p>The company did not respond to a request for comment, but its contact information appears at the bottom of a solicitation obtained by the Tribune that was sent to potential donors before the January inauguration. The company also features an image from the 2019 inaugural on its website and lists the event’s logo on its page of current clients.</p><p>A senior adviser for Patrick, Sherry Sylvester, said two of the lieutenant governor's campaign fundraisers were part of the inaugural fundraising team. They met their goal of raising $1 million, and each was paid $50,000, a 10% rate, she said. One Patrick staffer also worked with the inaugural committee and was paid $9,800 for two months of work, according to Sylvester, who declined to provide names.</p><p>It's unclear whether any other fundraisers received a cut of the $931,000. Wittman declined to comment on that point.</p><p>The executive director of the 2019 inaugural committee, Kim Snyder, who also serves as Abbott’s campaign director, did not respond to a request for comment.</p><p><img alt="Gov.

Greg Abbott was sworn in Jan. 15 at the state Capitol. Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / The Texas Tribune.</p><p>Like "shooting fish in a barrel"</p><p>Spending on each of the last two inaugurals eclipsed that of any other Texas inaugural for at least 40 years, even when adjusted for inflation. The closest contender is the inaugural featuring Democrat Ann Richards, but the spending on that 1991 event — $2.9 million in 2019 dollars, or $1.5 million at the time — is only half what Abbott and Patrick’s first inaugural cost.</p><p>The Texas inaugural’s fundraising costs also appear to be out of step nationwide.</p><p>Although the Trump inaugural committee came under fire for excessive administrative costs, it <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4379460-The-Tax-Return-For-Donald-Trump-s-Inaugural.html">reported</a> spending just $236,750 on fundraising for the 2017 events — and was able to raise $107 million. That would mean less than 1% of the haul was spent on fundraising.</p><p>In Florida, the inauguration for newly elected Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis also ran up a far smaller fundraising tab, according to an analysis of campaign finance reports. The Republican Party of Florida, which handles funding for the event, reported spending $184,500 on fundraising from the time the inaugural committee was announced through the swearing-in ceremony. The money could have been used for both the Republican Party and the inaugural, which cost about $3.5 million, <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article224522685.html">according to</a> <a href="https://www.floridaphoenix.com/blog/the-pricetag-for-desantis-inauguration-is-in-the-millions/">media reports</a>. The state GOP did not return a phone call seeking comment.</p><p>Rice University political scientist Mark Jones, who analyzed the Florida finance reports, said there is no reason to spend heavily on inaugural fundraising.</p><p>“It doesn't make any sense that a sitting governor of Texas who's going to be in office for four more years needs to do anything more than something purely administrative, that is: providing someone to receive the checks and cash the checks, and providing some type of online method for people to give donations,” Jones said. “A gubernatorial election ball sells itself.”</p><p>A former Republican officeholder in Texas similarly likened raising money for the inaugural to “shooting fish in a barrel.”</p><p>“It’s easy. You won,” said the former official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.</p><p>Donations to the inauguration are not deemed political contributions under state statute — and corporations barred by state law from giving directly to Texas candidates have been among the biggest underwriters of the festivities.</p><p>Inaugural contributions differ from campaign giving in another respect: For both the Texas and presidential inaugurals, donors were offered a package of <a href="https://publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/donald-trump-offering-huge-perks-for-inauguration-donors/">perks</a>, including access to top officials and entree to special events.</p><p>“You really know what you're getting for [your contribution] with these big donor packages that are given out around inaugurations,” said Carrie Levine, a senior reporter for the Center for Public Integrity in Washington, D.C. who <a href="https://publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/donald-trump-offering-huge-perks-for-inauguration-donors/">covered</a> the Trump inaugural. “They're giving to a sure thing.”</p><p>Tribune has sued for records</p><p>Created by state statute, the inaugural committee is a unique and short-lived public entity. A 1998 letter from the attorney general’s office describes it as an “agency of the state of Texas,” but its powers are “relatively small” and “its object highly limited.”</p><p>The committee’s chairs are typically politically connected appointees, tapped by the governor and lieutenant governor to arrange two days’ worth of parties. State law requires that they maintain a record of their expenditures and file a brief financial report with the secretary of state’s office when the events are over. The committee can then be dissolved.</p><p>But where the spending records for the 2019 inaugural are now, and who has access to them, is not clear.</p><p>The Texas Legislative Council — a nonpartisan agency that assists lawmakers with bill drafting and other matters— provided the Tribune with invoices and checks that show the committee paid the council nearly $150,000 from a Frost Bank account for labor, a panoramic photo, supplies and coordinating the stage setup for the swearing-in ceremony.</p><p><img "="" alt="This check from from the Texas Inaugural Committee was obtained under transparency laws from the Texas Legislative Council.

An invoice says the check paid for stage setup, labor, printing, supplies and a “Capital Extension Load Test Review." </p><p>The city of Austin, whose event center hosted the inaugural ball featuring country star George Strait, also received checks, which totaled $55,993. Invoices provided by the city bear Snyder’s signature and list her as the “bill-to” contact, along with her Abbott campaign email and a post office box used by the inaugural committee.</p><p>Most of the Tribune’s other requests for records have been futile.</p><p>Several state agencies pointed to the secretary of state’s office as the likely custodian of any records. But an employee there said this summer that the office has little expenditure information beyond a short financial report and that state law instructs the inaugural committee to maintain those records. When reporters visited the secretary of state’s office in person, a clerk said the financial report can only be obtained through a written request.</p><p>The Tribune also submitted public information requests to committee chairs. Snyder, the executive director, said in an email that they have “no responsive records.”</p><p>In mid-September, the Tribune asked the secretary of state’s office not to dissolve the state-created committee until the pending requests for information were fulfilled. But Secretary of State Ruth Hughs nevertheless abolished the committee Sept. 19, three days after the Tribune filed a lawsuit to obtain the records.</p><p>The office of Attorney General <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/directory/ken-paxton/">Ken Paxton</a>, a prominent client of Fundraising Solutions, cites that order to dissolve the committee as its chief argument for why the Tribune’s lawsuit should be thrown out. A spokesperson for the attorney general's office did not respond to a request for comment.</p><p><img 2019="" alt="Attorney General Ken Paxton (center) appears in a photo that says " attempt="" company's="" contributions="" fighting="" for="" from="" fundraising="" helped="" inauguration.="" is="" meet="" obtain="" office="" on="" organizers."="" paxton's="" records="" solicit="" solutions="" src="https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/qex4j79o1owpErAhVWDdfP6Ez7w=/400x268/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/2FmgL8fszNOrZFSXgEOXFNXGPpw=/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/89334f53fec866ff0d40be6909dca37d/Inaugural%20Paxton%20Screenshot.png" team"="" texas="" that="" the="" to="" tribune's="" website.=""/></p><p> Attorney General Ken Paxton (center) appears in a photo that says "Meet The Fundraising Solutions Team" on that company's website. Fundraising Solutions helped to solicit contributions for the 2019 Texas inauguration. Paxton's office is fighting The Texas Tribune's attempt to obtain records from organizers. </p><p>Bill Aleshire, the Tribune’s lawyer, said, “The answer from the attorney general’s office misses the point. Regardless of whether the committee is dissolved, the records should have been retained or moved to the comptroller’s office or the state library, as required by law. The point of the lawsuit is to get the records disclosed, and we will continue to pursue all appropriate strategies for getting that done.”</p><p>Previous inaugural committees or organizers have turned over extensive records, though the quantity and format has varied over the decades.</p><p>In 2015, Abbott and Patrick’s first inaugural, a spreadsheet of wages given to inaugural staff was provided to the secretary of state’s office.

They are 2-0 in the AFC North for the first time and were finally gaining traction after a slow start.</p><p>Now, another hurdle, perhaps the biggest one yet.</p><p>“We have a resilient bunch of guys,” first-year coach Freddie Kitchens said as the team started preparing for Sunday’s game against Miami. “They have accepted the challenge every week. It seems like it has been something different every week. That is the way football seasons are, though.”</p><p>While the Browns regroup and refocus, they’re still grappling with emotions in the aftermath of Garrett’s stunning loss of control, an on-field incident that has dominated discussion around the league and on social media for days.</p><p>Garrett’s actions have not been condoned by any of the Browns players, but defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson believes Rudolph bears at least some responsibility for what happened. After being taken down by Garrett after a pass, Rudolph unsuccessfully tried to pry off the Pro Bowler’s helmet and kicked at him. Once he got to his feet and lost his own helmet, Rudolph kept charging Garrett.</p><p>“It’s on camera what he’s doing,” Richardson said. “There’s no hiding it no matter what he says in the media.”</p><p>Rudolph was not suspended but will likely incur a stiff fine. Richardson said that’s not nearly enough. In his view, Garrett was defending himself.</p><p>“Of course he was," Richardson said. "If a guy scratching at your face, what you going to? The helmet was overboard, let's get that clear. But defending yourself, I don't blame him for defending himself at all."</p><p>Richardson said Rudolph escalated the incident by grabbing Garrett’s face mask and attempting to pull his helmet off.</p><p>"You can't antagonize a fight and then claim bullying, you get what's coming to you," Richardson said. "Of course Myles overreacted. ... He was protecting himself. I don't blame him. Guy keeps rushing me, even with the helmet off, he's asking for it. Just leave it at that."</p><p>The league also suspended Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi one game for shoving Rudolph. His appeal was heard Monday.</p><p>Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey was suspended three games for punching and kicking Garrett as he lay under Pittsburgh guard David DiCastro. Pouncey’s appeal is being heard by officer Derrick Brooks on Tuesday.</p><p>Richardson feels Rudolph got off easy and deserves to sit out some games.</p><p>“If you're going to suspend Myles indefinitely, I don't know, a game or two. A game?” he said. “Make it sound like you just can't be a quarterback and do as you please in this league. Have some type of consequences for your actions as well. I don't blame Pouncey for protecting his quarterback. I'd go overboard for my guys, too. So nobody's knocking him for that. That's what football is.”</p><p>Kitchens refused to address whether he felt Rudolph deserved to be disciplined.</p><p>“Everybody here saw the tape,” Kitchens said. “I am just here to support. I will support Myles. Our team will support Myles. I am not going to get into that. You saw the tape.”</p><p>Kitchens was pressed about seemingly sending mixed messages: condemning Garrett’s behavior, but also blaming Rudolph.</p><p>“I never said anything like that,” he said. “I did not insinuate anything. I was asked for a comment, and I was not making a comment on it. I just asked if you saw the tape, so form your own conclusion. I have my conclusion that I did not say. There is no excuse for that to happen on a football field. I know that, Myles knows that, and all of the players in the locker room know that.”</p><p>Kitchens met with Garrett on Saturday, and plans to continue reaching out. Garrett, 24 and the top overall pick in the 2017 draft, is not allowed to be at the team’s facility during his suspension.</p><p>“Myles Garrett's a good person," Kitchens said. "We're not going to pile on Myles. He had a bad lapse in judgment and that's it. I'm still a Myles fan and I'm going to support him. ... Myles is part of our family.”</p><p>NOTES: Kitchens said DE Olivier Vernon (knee) is “very close” to returning after missing two games. Vernon’s return would bolster a D-line already missing two starters. ... Kickoff for the Browns rematch with the Steelers on Dec. 1 at Heinz Field has been moved from 4:25 to 1 p.m. ... TE David Njoku could practice Wednesday after being sidelined since Week 2 with a broken right arm.</p><p>___</p><p>More AP NFL: <a href="https://apnews.com/NFL">https://apnews.com/NFL</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AP_NFL">https://twitter.com/AP_NFL</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Warren’s ‘Medicare for All’ plan reignites health care clash</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/warrens-medicare-for-all-plan-reignites-health-care-clash/</link><description>Elizabeth Warren wants to move the country to a government-funded health care system in stages over three years rather than immediately push for a full “Medicare for All”</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/warrens-medicare-for-all-plan-reignites-health-care-clash/</guid><dc:creator>Will Weissert</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 19:09:01 +0000</pubDate><media:group><media:content height="3305" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/q6lHquo2HEAEWhDT_TgzxV0Aj_0=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/WOCYG36OYJBJ7BDPQ644SC43P4.jpg" width="5073"><media:description type="plain">Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

That attempt to thread the political needle has roiled her more moderate rivals, who say she’s waffling, while worrying some on the left, who see Warren’s commitment to a single-payer system wavering.</p><p>The divide could complicate plans by Democrats to <a href="https://apnews.com/222fd1571d744aec903604542eb11b70">turn health care into a winning issue</a> in 2020. The party successfully took back control of the House last year by championing programs that ensure that people with preexisting medical conditions keep their insurance coverage while arguing that Republicans want to weaken such provisions. But the Medicare for All debate is more delicate as advocates including Warren grapple with concerns that a new government-run system won’t provide the same quality of coverage as private insurance — and would be prohibitively expensive.</p><p>“The Medicare for All proposal has turned out to be a real deal-breaker in who gets the Democratic nomination,” said Robert Blendon, a Harvard University School of Public Health professor whose teaching responsibilities include courses on political strategy in health policy and public opinion polling. “This is not just another issue.”</p><p>Warren’s <a href="https://apnews.com/bdf295408d4440578b71412388af7000">transition plan</a> indicates she’d use her first 100 days as president to expand existing public health insurance options. That is closer to what has been supported by former Vice President Joe Biden and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana. Both Democratic presidential candidates have criticized Medicare for All for wiping out private insurance — something they say many Americans aren’t ready for.</p><p>Warren insists she’s simply working to expand health insurance in the short term to people who don’t have it while remaining committed to the full plan in the long run.</p><p>“My commitment to Medicare for All is all the way,” Warren said while <a href="https://apnews.com/1fa53c065f6b428a9b7faa39b2ab2ce7">campaigning in Iowa</a> over the weekend.</p><p>Still, the transition signified a step toward pragmatism and an acknowledgement that the government has ways to expand health insurance coverage before embracing a universal system — something that would be difficult for any president to get through Congress. Consider that current entitlements, such as Social Security and Medicare, were phased in over years, not all at once.</p><p>“If she’s looked at it and decides the sensible thing to do in order to not cause too much disruption in employment situations and within the medical system is to gear up over three years, she's probably right,” said Cindy Wolf, a customer service and shipping manager who attended the California state Democratic Convention on Saturday in Long Beach.</p><p>Still, the move may prove politically problematic for a candidate who has long decried others settling for consultant-driven campaigns seeking incremental changes at the expense of big ideas.</p><p>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the original architect of Medicare for All and has made fighting for it the centerpiece of his 2020 White House bid. He <a href="https://twitter.com/berniesanders/status/1195465297689530378">tweeted</a> following the release of Warren’s transition plan: “In my first week as president, we will introduce Medicare for All legislation.”</p><p>Campaigning in Nevada on Monday, California Sen. Kamala Harris said, “I believe that government should not be in a position of taking away people's choice.”</p><p>“Especially on one of the most intimate and personal decisions people can make,” Harris said, “which is about how to address their health care needs.”</p><p>The criticism from others was far sharper. Top Biden adviser Kate Bedingfield dismissed Warren’s plan as “trying to muddy the waters” by offering “a full program of flips and twists.” Buttigieg spokeswoman Lis Smith said it was a “transparently political attempt to paper over a very serious policy problem.”</p><p>It’s easy to see the issue spilling into Wednesday’s debate because Warren rode a steady summer climb in the polls to become one of the primary field’s front-runners — but no longer seems to be rising. Polls recently show her support stabilizing, though not dipping, as focus on her Medicare for All ideas intensifies.</p><p>The last two debates featured Warren <a href="https://apnews.com/c9b93091a5cd468ea4c9381d58603cfc">failing to answer</a> direct questions on whether she would be forced to raise middle class taxes to pay for the universal health care system she envisions. That set up a plan released two-plus weeks ago in which Warren vowed to generate <a href="https://apnews.com/08e2db243cf045f9aef2e4de8704e114">$20-plus trillion in new government revenue</a> without increasing taxes on the middle class — but that’s been decried by critics who accuse Warren of underestimating how much Medicare for All would really cost.</p><p>And, though Warren never promised to begin working toward Medicare for All on Day 1 of her administration, the release of the transition plan, which spelled out that the process will take years, has unsettled some.</p><p>Una Lee Jost, a lawyer who was holding “Bernie” signs in Chinese and English at the California Democratic Convention, called any lengthy transition to Medicare for All “a serious concern.”</p><p>“We should have implemented this decades ago,” she said.</p><p>___</p><p>Associated Press writers Kathleen Ronayne and Michael R.

Prince Andrew says in a BBC interview scheduled to be broadcast Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, that he doesnt remember a woman who has accused him of sexually exploiting her in encounters arranged by Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has made similar denials for years but has come under new pressure following Epsteins arrest and suicide last summer. (AP Photo/Sang Tan, File)</media:description><media:credit role="author">Sang Tan</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prince Andrew's effort to put the Jeffrey Epstein scandal behind him may have instead done him irreparable harm.</p><p>While aides are trying to put the best face on his <a href="https://apnews.com/472305152c4b4efc87473d739baf473a">widely criticized interview</a> with the BBC, royal watchers are asking whether he can survive the public relations disaster and remain a working member of the royal family.</p><p>The question facing Queen Elizabeth II and her advisers is how to protect the historic institution of the monarchy from the taint of a 21st-century sex-and-trafficking scandal and the repeated missteps of a prince who has been a magnet for bad publicity as he struggles to find a national role for himself.</p><p>“Prince Andrew, I think, really has to stay out of the limelight for the moment because there really, I think, is no coming back from the damage that was done ... at least, not in the near future,” Kate Williams, a royal historian and professor at Reading University, told ITV News.</p><p>Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, tried to end years of speculation about his role in the Epstein scandal by granting a no-holds barred interview to Emily Maitlis, the respected presenter of the BBC's Newsnight program. But the strategy backfired when the prince failed to show empathy for the young women who were exploited by Epstein even as he defended his friendship with the American financier who was a convicted sex offender.</p><p>Epstein died Aug. 10 in a New York prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His death has been ruled a suicide by the city’s medical examiner.</p><p>Maitlis, writing Monday in the Times of London, said planning for the interview began after Epstein's death. Andrew’s management team knew they had a problem with the prince’s well-documented ties to Epstein and that <a href="https://apnews.com/e511ab084cef4e299951cb832a5eb053">previous written statements</a> by the prince denying any involvement by the prince in Epstein's crimes “perhaps lacked the conviction of a human voice behind them,'' she said.</p><p>“They feel that a Newsnight interview is the only way to clear the air. To put across his side of the story,” Maitlis wrote, describing discussions with the prince's staff.</p><p>But when the 55-year-old prince got that chance in an interview broadcast Saturday night, <a href="https://apnews.com/db209f2d67504d8d908bb485abfec644">he appeared awkward</a> and overly legalistic.</p><p>While Andrew said he regretted staying at Epstein's Manhattan home in 2010, after Epstein had served a prison sentence for a sex crimes conviction, Andrew defended his previous friendship with the billionaire investor because of the contacts it provided when he was preparing for a role as Britain's special trade representative.</p><p>The prince denied sleeping with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was trafficked by Epstein and had <a href="https://apnews.com/567d0df3afe442b5aeaa84e29df362e4">sex with Andrew</a> on three occasions, including twice when she was 17.</p><p>Andrew went on to say that an alleged sexual encounter in London with Giuffre couldn't have occurred on the day that she says it did because he spent the day with his daughter Princess Beatrice, taking her to a party at Pizza Express in the London suburb of Woking and then back to the family home. He also said Giuffre's description of him buying her drinks and sweating heavily as they danced together could not be correct because he doesn't drink and had a medical condition at the time that meant he could not sweat.</p><p>Those answers have been widely mocked on social media, with Twitter users sharing pizza jokes and photos of an apparently sweaty Prince Andrew.</p><p>Nowhere during the almost one-hour interview, which took place inside Buckingham Palace, did the prince express sympathy for Epstein's victims.</p><p>One exchange in particular captured the coldness for which Andrew is being criticized.</p><p>Andrew: “Do I regret the fact that he has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming? Yes.”</p><p>Maitlis: “Unbecoming? He was a sex offender.”</p><p>Andrew: “Yeah. I'm being polite.”</p><p>Lisa Bloom, a Los Angeles-based attorney for five of Epstein's alleged victims, called the interview with the prince “deeply disappointing.”</p><p>“He is entitled to deny allegations and defend himself,” she said. “But where is his apology for being so closely associated with one of history's most prolific pedophiles?”</p><p>Attorney Gloria Allred called on the prince to voluntarily speak to the FBI about what he knows about Epstein. She made the comment during a news conference in Los Angeles about a new lawsuit filed against Epstein’s estate by a woman identified only as Jane Doe 15.</p><p>While Andrew's older brother, Prince Charles, is heir to the British throne, he himself is only eighth in the line of succession. He served in the Royal Navy for more than 20 years, including during the 1982 war over the Falklands Islands, before retiring in 2001.</p><p>Civilian life has proved more problematic for the prince. He served as Britain’s special trade representative from 2001 to 2011, but was forced to step down amid questions about his links to a son of the late Libyan dictator Col. Muammar Gaddafi. Andrew's marriage to the former Sarah Ferguson ended in divorce in 1996, but in 2010 a British newspaper reported that it had filmed his ex-wife offering to sell access to the prince.</p><p>Andrew’s problem is also one of timing, according to celebrity expert Ellis Cashmore, author of “Kardashian Kulture.” The Epstein case was shaping up to be the biggest American female exploitation case of the #MeToo era since the movement was kicked off in 2017 by disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.</p><p>“Epstein was the personification of #MeToo's evil,” Cashmore said. “His apparent suicide robbed the movement of what looked certain to be colossal symbolic victory, so I sense there's hunt for a prominent public figure” to be held to account.</p><p>Cashmore said Britain’s royal family has no realistic option now but to tell Andrew to maintain a dignified silence and hope interest in this case will dissipate. The problem, Cashmore said, is that if Andrew immediately cuts down on his public engagements, that could also backfire.</p><p>“The problem is that, when a public figure who is involved in a scandal, refuses to engage with the media, then it effectively gives us — the audience — license to think what we like and speculate wildly,’’ he said. “The prospect of gossip on Andrew circulating in supermarkets, at work and on social media is a horrifying prospect for the royals. But I suspect that's exactly what's going to happen.’'</p><p>The BBC interview is especially problematic because it comes at the end of a difficult year for the royal family, said Pauline Maclaran, author of "Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture."</p><p>Andrew's nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry, have helped reposition the royal family for the modern world, appearing more accessible as they speak about their own mental health issues to help others and their charities. But that image has been dented recently as Harry and his wife, the former U.S. television star Meghan Markle, spar with the press over privacy issues.</p><p>“It's definitely tainting the brand at the moment,” Maclaran said of Andrew's Epstein interview. “The trouble is that, if he was trying to be sincere, he did the royal thing: He didn't show enough emotion. It doesn't cut it in the social media age.”</p><p>___</p><p>Associated Press writer Brian Melley contributed from Los Angeles.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Ay, chihuahua!

First time playing here in Madrid on hard court, opening match, extra pressure, it was important to start well.”</p><p>Belgium got the best of Colombia thanks to Steve Darcis’ 6-3, 6-2 win over Santiago Giraldo and David Goffin’s 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniel Elahi Galan.</p><p>“For me it’s big, I know it’s going to be my last time playing for Belgium, so I’ll try to do my best like always.

The change helped attract new sponsors and made it easier for top players to include the Davis Cup in their busy schedules.

Solis</media:credit></media:content></media:group><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alabama’s team surgeon said Tua Tagovailoa’s prognosis was “excellent” after the quarterback underwent surgery to repair a dislocated hip, although there is no timeline for Tagovailoa’s recovery.</p><p>Dr. Lyle Cain said Tagovailoa is expected to recover fully after Monday’s surgery in Houston — probably the best possible news the QB could have received about the devastating season-ending injury, which has cast a cloud over his football future.</p><p>The 2018 Heisman Trophy runner-up, Tagovailoa emerged as a likely high draft pick — possibly No. 1 overall — with fans of downtrodden NFL teams using the Twitter hashtag “Tankfortua” to show their hopes of getting the QB in the draft.</p><p>If Tagovailoa does decide to enter the draft, it’s unclear how the injury will affect how teams evaluate him.</p><p>Saban isn’t publicly speculating on Tagovailoa’s prospects.</p><p>“Our concern is about him getting healthy,” the coach said. “This is going to be a long recovery for him, but we fully expect a full recovery. No one’s really speculating or talking about what’s best for him to do in the future. My only concern is that he can do what’s best for him in his future. I don’t know if right now’s the time to be thinking about that, when you’re thinking about the guy’s health and well-being and recovery.”</p><p>Saban pointed out that New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley also dislocated a hip in the national championship game to end the 2011 season.</p><p>“And he’s come back and had a very successful career,” the coach said. “That’s basically all I can tell you about it.”</p><p>Dr. Michael Stover, an orthopedic surgeon at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, said he has performed similar surgeries on high school athletes and one pro football player, an offensive lineman. He said there’s not enough data to project a timetable on a skill player like Tagovailoa, but he was cautiously optimistic.</p><p>“He has a chance to return to sports,” Stover said. “I would be hesitant to say at what level.”</p><p>Tagovailoa passed for 7,442 yards and a school-record 87 touchdowns in less than two full seasons as Alabama’s starter. He presided over a remarkable transformation of the once-staid Crimson Tide offense. A five-star recruit from Hawaii, he capped his freshman season by coming off the bench to lead a second-half comeback win over Georgia in the national championship game, throwing the winning touchdown in overtime.</p><p>SEC Network analyst and former Tide quarterback Greg McElroy believes Tagovailoa has two things in his favor: medical advances and a positive attitude.</p><p>“You are in a much better position today in 2019 to come back from a catastrophic injury than at any other point in history,” McElroy said.</p><p>He cited former Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith, another coveted NFL prospect who recovered from a potentially career-ending knee injury and wound up being a second-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2016. In August, Smith received a $64 million, five-year extension.</p><p>“So much about overcoming an injury is about your attitude, and if there’s one thing I know about Tua, he’s going to have a remarkably positive attitude in the approach to the rehab and everything that’s going to go along with it,” McElroy said.</p><p>Positive attitude is one thing people close to Tagovailoa say he has plenty of.</p><p>Saban couldn’t say enough about the quarterback’s spirit. The coach said Tagovailoa is a “fabulous person” and one of the four or five players he has cared the most for personally.</p><p>Saban said he was feeling down about the injury, but got a pick-me-up from the injured QB.</p><p>“I feel bad. I’m hurting,” Saban said Monday. “So I called him on Saturday night to cheer him up and he cheered me up. I called him last night because I’d been sitting in that room for 10 hours (Sunday) watching film. I called him to cheer him up and he cheers me up.</p><p>“This is a guy that has great spirit. He’s very positive about just about everything he does and the effect that he has on other people.”</p><p>The Alabama coach and his fifth-ranked Crimson Tide have been coping with <a href="https://apnews.com/5fea00df1736414aaed28ef03ffd55c1">the loss of Tagovailoa</a> since Saturday afternoon. Tagovailoa was injured while being dragged down by two Mississippi State defenders late in the first half <a href="https://apnews.com/91870ca5ebdf4b16b92941acb00a192f">with Alabama up</a> 35-7.</p><p>The injury was a devastating blow to a team that still harbors national championship ambitions.</p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/4bdf1111dc6b471a80633501302f5394">Mac Jones</a> is taking over Alabama’s offense starting Saturday against Western Carolina. Next up is a visit to No. 16 Auburn. Alabama is fifth in the College Football Playoff rankings, with the latest updates set to be released on Tuesday.</p><p>Most of the team’s focus Monday was on Tagovailoa’s health.</p><p>Alabama right tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. visited with Tagovailoa before he was flown to Houston.</p><p>“I know it’s something terrible for anybody to go through,” Willis said. “But I feel like he's a strong enough person that could come out of this positive and just recover.”</p><p>Tagovailoa received visits from teammates and calls of support, including from coach Gus Malzahn of rival Auburn. He shared social media shout-outs from athletes like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and ex-NFL and Alabama running back Shaun Alexander.</p><p>“The emotional impact just around the entire sport was emotionally devastating,” said ESPN’s Laura Rutledge. “Even on Saturday when it happened, I talked to a few college football coaches who said they were so upset even hearing the news.</p><p>“One coach told me college football is just not the same without him. I think you just see the respect that he has and how much fun people really do have watching him play. I just think it’s a credit to how he’s handled himself for people to feel that way.”</p><p>___</p><p>More AP college football: <a href="https://apnews.com/Collegefootball">https://apnews.com/Collegefootball</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AP_Top25">https://twitter.com/AP_Top25</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan.

Now the results of a recent trial at Microsoft suggest it could work even for the biggest businesses.</p><p>The company introduced a program this summer in Japan called the "Work Life Choice Challenge," which shut down its offices every Friday in August and gave all employees an extra day off each week.</p><p>The results were promising: While the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivity — measured by sales per employee — went up by almost 40% compared to the same period the previous year, the company said in a statement last week.</p><p>In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails.</p><p>They suggested that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app (Microsoft's, of course).</p><p>The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsoft's 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company.</p><p>By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.</p><p>The initiative is timely. Japan has long grappled with a grim — and in some cases, fatal — culture of overwork. The problem is so severe, the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi means death by overwork from stress-induced illnesses or severe depression.</p><p>The issue attracted international attention in 2015, when an employee at Japanese advertising giant Dentsu died by suicide on Christmas Day. Tokyo officials later said that the staffer had worked excessive amounts of overtime.</p><p>Two years later, a reporter at a Japanese broadcaster died after working punishing long hours. Her employer said she had clocked in 159 hours of overtime the month before her death.</p><p>That has led businesses to start searching for solutions. Some companies have begun offering employees more flexibility, and the government has launched a campaign called "Premium Friday," which encourages workers to leave early every last Friday of the month.</p><p>Microsoft, for its part, says it will conduct another experiment in Japan later this year. It plans to ask employees to come up with new measures to improve work-life balance and efficiency, and will also ask other companies to join the initiative.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Firefighters battle heavy flames at Church’s Chicken on East Side</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/firefighters-battle-heavy-flames-at-churchs-chicken-on-east-side/</link><description>Local fire fighters are working to put out flames at a Church's Chicken on the East Side.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/firefighters-battle-heavy-flames-at-churchs-chicken-on-east-side/</guid><dc:creator>Ben Spicer, Sarah Acosta, Azian Bermea</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:19:03 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Antonio firefighters responded to a fire at an East Side restaurant overnight.</p><p>The fire was called in around 2:30 a.m. at a Church’s Chicken in the 4000 block of South New Braunfels Avenue, not far from Highway 281 and Fair Avenue.</p><p>Firefighters said they arrived to find heavy flames showing.

</p><p>In a candid interview on the "The Wendy Williams Show," Democratic presidential candidate <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/headlines/7065-cory-bookers-twitter-exchange-with-vegan-stripper" target="_blank">Cory Booker</a> admitted that he was a bit shy when trying to land his now-girlfriend Rosario Dawson’s digits. </p><p>
</p><p>Booker, who has been <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/rosario-dawson-confirms-she-dating-presidential-candidate-cory-booker-51425" target="_blank">dating</a> Dawson for ten months, said that he asked her for her number at a “roof party” put on by Sarah Silverman, and he jokingly recalled, “the roof was on fire that night.”</p><p>
</p><p>“So I have a lot of confidence in a lot of areas, but I tell you, I did not feel confidence when I asked for her phone number,” Booker told <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/wendy-williams-leaving-sober-living-house-52209" target="_blank">Wendy Williams</a>. “I walked up to her, it was the end of the party, we had already talked a bit and people were drifting out, but she and I were lingering. I walked up to her and I said, ‘Well, how would I contact you if I wanted to get int touch with you?’, and she goes, ‘Oh, you’re asking for my phone number.’”</p><p>
</p><p>Booker quipped that Dawson was “merciful” and gave it to him, but the nerve-racking encounter was definitely a “shy moment” for him. </p><p>
</p><p>When Williams asked if Booker will marry Dawson, he said, “Look, I have hope! I have hope!”</p><p>
</p><p>Just a few months ago, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2019/03/14/rosario-dawson-cory-booker-confirm-dating-amazing-president/" target="_blank">TMZ</a> also asked Dawson whether marriage was on the horizon. "I am just grateful to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much who is so brilliant and kind and caring and loving," she said.</p><p>

</p><p>It should have been a day this new mom would never forget. But 38-year-old Camre Curto has no memory of bringing her first baby into the world.</p><p>
</p><p>After becoming a first-time mom, Curto suddenly couldn’t remember her fiance's name or even that she just had a <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/kindergarten-boys-one-white-one-african-american-say-theyre-twins-who-look-exactly-alike-57223" target="_blank">baby boy</a> in the first place. “She didn’t know who she was, didn’t know who I was, didn’t know she even just gave birth to Gavin,” Steve, who is now her husband, told InsideEdition.com.</p><p>
</p><p>“It was like the eraser just came out,” Camre added, describing her memory being wiped clean.</p><p>
</p><p>Doctors would later discover she had suffered brain damage during childbirth, which is what caused her to lose her long-term memory, short-term memory and ability to create new ones.</p><p>
</p><p>“This is a really, really rare case,” her occupational therapist, Jessica Smith, told InsideEdition.com. “Every case is unique, right? But in the context of really having a baby and then this is what happens, Camre is the only case I’ve had in 10 years.”</p><p>
</p><p>It all started in 2012, when Camre was seven months pregnant. She and Steve had been together for three years at that point and were engaged to be <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/brides-ditch-bouquets-for-adorable-shelter-puppies-in-wedding-ceremony-57230" target="_blank">married</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>“She developed some nausea and stuff, and one day her throat was swelling,” Steve recalled. “Her mom took her down to the hospital real quick and she ended up having a grand mal seizure," which involves a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions.</p><p>
</p><p>Medical officials then discovered Camre had undiagnosed preeclampsia, a common but serious condition pregnant women can develop that causes high blood pressure and swelling in the legs and feet. But Camre's untreated preeclampsia progressed into the rare eclampsia, when the high blood pressure causes seizures.</p><p>
</p><p>After an emergency C-section, Camre was put into a medically induced coma.</p><p>
</p><p>As she began coming to, it became clear that something had gone wrong. Despite having all of her speech and motor functions, she couldn’t seem to recognize anyone, nor remember who or where she was.</p><p>
</p><p>It turned out that the swelling in her throat prevented oxygen from reaching her brain, Steve said, and that along with the eclampsia seizures, the complications caused Camre to suffer serious brain damage.</p><p>
</p><p>“You have all these different parts of your brain and when there’s injury, we don’t know specifically what is exactly injured,” Smith said. “In Camry’s case, both sides of her brain are affected and both places where memories are stored, created, all of that is affected.”</p><p>
</p><p>Even though Camre seemed otherwise healthy and newborn Gavin, who spent several days in the NICU, was thriving, their first several moments together as a family were incredibly difficult.</p><p>
</p><p>“The woman you love, you just had a child with, doesn't know who you are. So that's obviously devastating, heartbreaking and you're just trying to kind of figure it all out,” Steve recalled. “I became mom and dad. I did all the skin-to-skin contact. The NICU nurses really helped me out — showed me how to burp him, feed him, bathe him. They really gave me this tutorial of how to be a dad really quick.”</p><p>
</p><p>Camre, unaware who Steve was or that she had just given birth, moved back in with her parents. Though she had also forgotten the two people who brought her into the world, they were instrumental in her first several weeks of recovery.</p><p>
</p><p>“I've heard plenty of stories of her <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/duke-and-duchess-of-sussex-share-adorable-new-photo-of-baby-archie-for-prince-charles-birthday" target="_blank">mom</a> would sleep next to her, because Camre would wake up in the middle of the night and start just ripping her stitches out from her C-section because she didn't know why she had them in her stomach. She had no clue she was just recently pregnant,” Smith said. “Her mom was amazing at reorienting her. So, she would have this book and she'd say, ’Camre, you just had a son, and his name is Gavin, and that's why you have that mark in your stomach.’ But, it was like minute to minute.”</p><p>
</p><p>Slowly but surely, Camre began learning her husband’s and son’s names, even if she had to guess it one letter at a time.</p><p>
</p><p>“She’d say, ‘OK, I know his name. What’s his name again? Just give me the first letter,’” Steve recalled. “And I’m like, ‘It’s G.’ And she would think about it and she would say, ‘Is it Gavin?’ It’s like these baby steps over the seven year progress.”</p><p>
</p><p>After slowly spending more time with Steve, she eventually moved back in with him and their <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/bode-miller-and-morgan-beck-welcome-twin-boys-57175" target="_blank">son</a>. And that's when Steve decided to write a book based on their unbelievable journey.</p><p>
</p><p>The book was appropriately named it after something Camre said to Steve in the early days after Gavin was born, something that gave him the hope to continue rebuilding the life they had made together.</p><p>
</p><p>“I was heartbroken, really. And we’re sitting on the couch one day and she’s like, ‘I don’t know where I’m at. I don’t know who you are. But I know I love you,’” Steve recalled. “I was blown away. It always stuck with me.”</p><p>
</p><p>Camre’s battle to regain her memory continues today. She works with her occupational therapist at Galaxy Brain and Therapy Center several days a week and they work on memory tricks, like writing things down and repeating them, and how to deal with day-to-day scenarios. “When I go to the grocery store, I’ll run into people and they’ll look familiar but I’ll have no idea who they are or anything,’” Camre explained.</p><p>
</p><p>“Her biggest fear is, 'What do I say if people start asking me specific questions?’” Smith said. “Camre is a very intelligent lady. She’s hilarious, she uses humor to get through every day, so really, we’re working on building her confidence to do more of these mother-son things and family outings.”</p><p>
</p><p>For now, Camre said she’s taking every day in stride and getting through each challenge with a positive attitude. “If you sit there and focus on all the negative and everything that’s been taken away, you’re not going to be going anywhere,” Camre said.</p><p>
</p><p>Steve and Camre finished writing "But I Know I Love You" together, and it was released in September.</p><p>

Notre Dames 12-year run in The Associated Press womens basketball poll is over. The Irish fell out of the Top 25 on Monday, Nov. 19, 2019, for the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season, ending a streak of 234 consecutive weeks being ranked. It was the third longest active streak behind UConn (492) and Baylor (302). (AP Photo/John Amis, File)</media:description><media:credit role="author">John Amis</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Notre Dame’s 12-year run in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll is over.</p><p>The Fighting Irish fell out of the AP Top 25 on Monday for the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season, stopping a streak of 234 consecutive weeks being ranked. It was the third longest active streak behind UConn’s (492) and Baylor’s (302).</p><p>While the Irish dropped out of the rankings, Oregon remained No. 1. The Ducks received 27 of the 29 first-place votes.</p><p>Baylor was second, receiving the other two first-place votes, followed by Stanford, Connecticut and South Carolina. The Gamecocks moved up one spot, switching places with No. 6 Texas A&amp;M.; Oregon State, Louisville, Maryland and Mississippi State round out the top 10.</p><p>Muffet McGraw’s team lost at home to Tennessee and Michigan State this week, marking the first time since 2008 that Notre Dame dropped two consecutive games in South Bend, Indiana. Tennessee’s victory was the first time that a team other than UConn had beaten the Fighting Irish at home since 2012. The win helped the Lady Vols get ranked for the first time this year (No. 23). Tennessee owns the longest streak of being ranked, remaining in the AP Top 25 for 565 consecutive weeks before falling out in 2016.</p><p>It’s no surprise that the Irish are struggling this season, with McGraw’s team losing players with more than 10,000 points to the WNBA and a few of the other top returning players transferring before the season. Notre Dame took another hit when sophomore guard Abby Prohaska was ruled out indefinitely before the season started because of blood clots in her lungs.</p><p>Notre Dame could return to the rankings with a victory at No. 21 Michigan on Saturday.</p><p>Gonzaga, Tennessee and West Virginia entered the poll this week, with Arizona State and Texas also dropping out. The Longhorns had the seventh longest active streak (77).</p><p>Here are a few other tidbits from the Top 25:</p><p>GOING STREAKING: With the Irish’s streak over, Maryland moved up to No. 3 on the active list with 177 consecutive weeks ranked. South Carolina is fourth with 131. Mississippi State is fifth with 97.</p><p>IMPRESSIVE IN DEFEAT: It’s rare that teams can enter the AP Top 25 coming off a loss, especially teams from non-Power Five conferences, but No. 23 Gonzaga did just that after an overtime defeat at No. 3 Stanford on Sunday. The Zags have been one of the top mid-major programs over the last decade and were ranked for the final 16 weeks of the poll last season. Gonzaga beat Tennessee-Martin earlier in the week.</p><p>GAME OF THE WEEK: Oregon will get its first road test of the season, heading to No. 17 Syracuse on Sunday. The Ducks went 3-0 at home this week, winning by an average of 45 points. The Orange have won their first three games at home by an average of 16 points.</p><p>___</p><p>Follow Doug Feinberg on Twitter at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg">http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg</a></p><p>___</p><p>More AP women's college basketball: <a href="https://apnews.com/Womenscollegebasketball">https://apnews.com/Womenscollegebasketball</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AP_Top25">https://twitter.com/AP_Top25</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>US angers Palestinians with reversal on Israeli settlements</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/us-to-soften-position-on-israeli-settlements-in-west-bank/</link><description>Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is planning to announce that the U.S. is softening its position on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/us-to-soften-position-on-israeli-settlements-in-west-bank/</guid><dc:creator>Matthew Lee</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:01:29 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2838" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/M0micDKeGEhAIwZfCgmXJsqvclI=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/TMRI57WC2RD7XB25TZBL7O5T2A.jpg" width="5103"><media:description type="plain">United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivers a speech during the 'Koerber Global Leaders Dialogue' in Berlin, Germany, Friday, Nov. 8, 2019. (AP Photo/Michael Sohn)</media:description><media:credit role="author">Michael Sohn</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Trump administration on Monday said it no longer considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be a violation of international law, reversing four decades of American policy and further undermining the Palestinians’ effort to gain statehood.</p><p>Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. is repudiating the 1978 State Department legal opinion that held that civilian settlements in the occupied territories are “inconsistent with international law.” Israeli leaders welcomed the decision while Palestinians and other nations warned that it undercut any chance of a broader peace deal.</p><p>Pompeo told reporters at the State Department that the Trump administration believes any legal questions about settlements should be resolved by Israeli courts and that declaring them a violation of international law distracts from larger efforts to negotiate a peace deal.</p><p>“Calling the establishment of civilian settlements inconsistent with international law has not advanced the cause of peace,” Pompeo said. “The hard truth is that there will never be a judicial resolution to the conflict, and arguments about who is right and who is wrong as a matter of international law will not bring peace.”</p><p>The change reflects the administration’s embrace of a hard-line Israeli view at the expense of the Palestinian quest for statehood. Similar actions have included President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the movement of the U.S. Embassy to that city and the closure of the Palestinian diplomatic office in Washington.</p><p>“The U.S. administration has lost its credibility to play any future role in the peace process,” said Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.</p><p>The European Union warned of the potential repercussions in a statement following the announcement that did not mention the U.S.</p><p>“All settlement activity is illegal under international law and it erodes the viability of the two-state solution and the prospects for a lasting peace,” said the statement from the 28-nation bloc. “The EU calls on Israel to end all settlement activity, in line with its obligations as an occupying power.”</p><p>Even though the decision is largely symbolic, it could give a boost to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is fighting for his political survival after failing to form a coalition government following recent elections.</p><p>It could also spell further trouble for the administration’s peace plan, which is unlikely to gather much international support by endorsing a position contrary to the global consensus.</p><p>The Netanyahu government was dealt a blow on settlements just last week when the European Court of Justice ruled products made in Israeli settlements must be labeled as such.</p><p>The 1978 legal opinion on settlements is known as the Hansell Memorandum. It had been the basis for more than 40 years of carefully worded U.S. opposition to settlement construction that had varied in its tone and strength, depending on the president’s position.</p><p>The international community overwhelmingly considers the settlements illegal based in part on the Fourth Geneva Convention, which bars an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population to occupied territory.</p><p>In the final days of the Obama administration, the U.S. allowed the U.N. Security Council to pass a resolution declaring the settlements a “flagrant violation” of international law.</p><p>Pompeo said that the U.S. would not take a position on the legality of specific settlements, that the new policy would not extend beyond the West Bank and that it would not create a precedent for other territorial disputes.</p><p>He also said the decision did not mean the administration was prejudging the status of the West Bank in any eventual Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.</p><p>For Netanyahu, the welcome boost comes at a time when he has been weakened domestically by mounting legal woes and two inconclusive elections this year.</p><p>Unable to secure a parliamentary majority, Netanyahu is now anxiously waiting to see if his chief rival, Benny Gantz, can put together a coalition. If Gantz fails, the country could be forced into a third election, with Netanyahu facing the distraction of a trial.</p><p>Netanyahu's office released a statement saying the policy shift "rights a historical wrong" concerning settlements.</p><p>"This policy reflects an historical truth - that the Jewish people are not foreign colonialists in Judea and Samaria," it said, using the Israeli terms for the West Bank.</p><p>Gantz, meanwhile, applauded Pompeo's "important statement, once again demonstrating its firm stance with Israel and its commitment to the security and future of the entire Middle East."</p><p>Pompeo dismissed suggestions that the decision would further isolate the U.S. or Israel in the international community, though Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi wrote on Twitter that the settlements hurt peace prospects. “We warn of the seriousness of the change in the U.S. position towards the settlements and its repercussions on all efforts to achieve peace," he said.</p><p>Shortly after Pompeo's announcement, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued an advisory warning for Americans planning to travel in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza, saying, "Individuals and groups opposed to (Pompeo’s) announcement may target U.S. government facilities, U.S. private interests, and U.S. citizens." It called on them “to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness in light of the current environment."</p><p>Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war and quickly began settling the newly conquered territory.</p><p>Today, some 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the two areas, which are both claimed by the Palestinians for their state.</p><p>After the war, it immediately annexed east Jerusalem, home to the holy city’s most important religious sites, in a move that is not internationally recognized.</p><p>But Israel has never annexed the West Bank, even as it has dotted the territory with scores of settlements and tiny settlement outposts.</p><p>While claiming the fate of the settlements is a subject for negotiations, it has steadily expanded them. Some major settlements have over 30,000 residents, resembling small cities and serving as suburbs of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.</p><p>The Palestinians and most of the world say the settlements undermine hopes for a two-state solution by gobbling up land sought by the Palestinians.</p><p>Israel’s settlement activities have also drawn attention to its treatment of Palestinians.</p><p>While Jewish settlers can freely enter Israel and vote in Israeli elections, West Bank Palestinians are subject to Israeli military law, require permits to enter Israel and do not have the right to vote in Israeli elections.</p><p>___</p><p>Associated Press writers Josef Federman and Ilan Ben Zion in Jerusalem contributed to this report.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>KSAT meteorologist Kaiti Blake is engaged</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/ksat-meteorologist-kaiti-blake-is-engaged/</link><description>Congratulations are in order for KSAT meteorologist Kaiti Blake who is officially engaged to Mark Chapin.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/ksat-meteorologist-kaiti-blake-is-engaged/</guid><dc:creator>Mary Claire Patton</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:53:19 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="1080" type="image/jpeg" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/O471Dw2btwsK87w_g0hIThJHtdw=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/DPMH6OW74BDPXHKJNHRR2FIM5U.jpg" width="1920"></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations are in order for KSAT meteorologist Kaiti Blake who is officially engaged to Mark Chapin.</p><p>Mark popped the question Friday at the Pearl Amphitheater while the couple was out celebrating his birthday.</p><p>“Mark insisted that we walk toward the amphitheater, which is in the complete opposite direction of the restaurant we were going to but I was like, ‘Okay whatever you want,'” Kaiti said.</p><p>The weather was nice Friday night and she thought he just wanted to take a stroll but it turns out, he had bigger plans in mind.</p><figure><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/50iar-hMLdailNEnZ6H-M9ueoOU=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/36DCE6P6VJB2JKQ5HQDDTPOT4Y.jpg" width="1920"/><small><span class="copyright">KSAT</span></small></figure><p>As they walked out onto the platform of the amphitheater, Mark got down on one knee and asked Kaiti to marry him.

Sometimes no matter how much you clean, there are smells you can't seem to eliminate.</p><p>John Lassen, owner of Appliances Made Perfect or <a href="http://www.amprepairhouston.com/">AMP Repair</a>, said there are a couple places most homeowners don’t even know they need to clean.</p><p><a href="http://www.amprepairhouston.com/Washing%20Machine%20Cleaning%20and%20Maintenance.pdf">Your washing machine</a></p><p><b>1) Front loaders:</b></p><p>If you've got a front-loading washing machine, the rubber seal just inside the door needs regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew growth. If you already have some, Lassen says you can tuck a white vinegar-soaked rag inside the rubber boot. Leave it there between 2 to 4 hours. That softens up the mildew so that you can use a kitchen brush and scrub it away.</p><p>When you're not using the washer, leave the door open so it can air out.</p><p>Also, when was the last time you checked your washing machine's trap? It's designed to catch coins, hair, bobby pins and other stuff mixed in with your laundry. Lassen says you should clean it about once a month. If you don't know where to find your washing machine's trap, you can Google the make and model of your machine to find it online. </p><p><b>2) Top loading washing machines</b></p><p>These can also get stinky from mold growth in places you can't see.</p><p>Here is Lassen's recipe to nix those nasty smells:</p><p>Set your washer on the heaviest load cycle on hot. When the tub fills up, pour in 4 cups of bleach and let it run through the full cycle. Rinse and repeat to rinse out any bleach. Repeat the whole thing using 2 cups of vinegar to remove any calcium build-up that you can't see. </p><p><b>3) </b><a href="http://www.amprepairhouston.com/Dishwasher%20Cleaning%20and%20Maintenance.pdf"><b>Dishwasher</b></a></p><p>This appliance also has a trap that catches bits of food. You should remove it and clean it under hot water, scrubbing it with a toothbrush. </p><p>After you clean the filter, you can clean the entire dishwasher with 2 cups of vinegar.</p><p>First, run your water until it’s hot from the tap. Set your dishwasher on the hottest setting and press start. Your dishwasher will go through a drain cycle in about 2 minutes. When the wash cycle starts, open the dishwasher and pour in 2 cups of white vinegar. Close the door and press the start button again and let the entire cycle run. </p><p><i>This story originally appeared on </i><a href="https://www.click2houston.com/consumer/whats-that-smell-3-appliances-you-didnt-even-know-you-needed-to-clean" target="_blank"><i>Click2Houston.com</i></a><i>.</i></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Trump backing off banning vaping flavors popular with teens</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/trump-backing-off-banning-vaping-flavors-popular-with-teens/</link><description>President Donald Trump is backing away from a ban on most flavored e-cigarettes popular with teens</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/trump-backing-off-banning-vaping-flavors-popular-with-teens/</guid><dc:creator>Jonathan Lemire And Darlene Superville</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:45:55 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2025" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/XFbjkP62Ur1c_byV7JwvV0-13WU=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2DBQMEYCQNHEDHQKVCEJYZLFWU.jpg" width="2975"><media:description type="plain">FILE - In this April 23, 2014 file photo, a man smokes an electronic cigarette in Chicago.

And its future is unclear.</p><p>For nearly two months, momentum had been building <a href="https://apnews.com/9d65a6995e544ee7bdf7fd2c157c69a2">inside the White House</a> to try to halt a youth vaping epidemic that experts feared was hurting as many as 5 million teenagers.</p><p>Both <a href="https://apnews.com/1528af9ff9764e5e96adab83994d7d8e">first lady Melania Trump</a> and Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser, pushed for the ban, which was also being championed internally by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who has taken the lead on some public health issues.</p><p>But as Trump sat surrounded by political advisers on the flights to and from Lexington, he grew reluctant to sign the ban, convinced it could alienate voters who would be financially or otherwise affected by a vaping ban, according to two White House and campaign officials not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations.</p><p>A news conference scheduled by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to announce the ban was canceled, while more meetings with industry leaders and lobbyists were proposed, according to the officials.</p><p>Trump tweeted last week that he’ll be meeting with vaping industry representatives, medical professionals and others “to come up with an acceptable solution to the Vaping and E-cigarette dilemma.” The White House has yet to announce a date for a meeting.</p><p>This month, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale and others showed the president polling data indicating that e-cigarette users could abandon him if he followed through with the ban, the officials said.</p><p>Campaign aides also highlighted an aggressive social media campaign — #IVapeIVote — in which advocates claimed a ban would force the closure of vaping shops, eliminating jobs and sending users of electronic cigarettes back to traditional smokes. Parscale also pointed out the risk that a ban could have on e-cigarette users in key battleground states that Trump narrowly won in 2016.</p><p>Others in the West Wing, including Conway, have argued that a ban could be a winning issue with suburban voters, including mothers, who have fled the president in large numbers. Few would predict where Trump, who is known to abruptly change his mind, would end up since he recently has been consumed with other matters, notably televised impeachments hearings.</p><p>The vaping industry’s largest trade group said Monday the administration was heading “in the right direction for adult smokers and their families.”</p><p>“Bans don’t work, they never have,” Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association, said in a statement.</p><p>Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Association, an advocacy organization, added that the government should put in place “sensible and targeted regulations” before it resorts to prohibition, which opponents of a ban said could lead to the creation of an underground market for e-cigarettes.</p><p>But Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said Trump would be guilty of “terrible public policy” and “bad politics” if he backs down.</p><p>“This is one of the very few issues on which public views are unified,” Myers said in a telephone interview. “There are a small number of vape shop owners who are loud and don’t care. But there are millions more moms and dads who are deeply concerned.”</p><p>Robin Koval, president and CEO of the Truth Initiative, a nonprofit, anti-tobacco organization, called on Trump to implement the original plan.</p><p>“The health of America’s youth must come first and is not for sale or political gain,” Koval said in a statement. The first lady opened the White House to a group of young people from the Truth Initiative in October to tell her about their experiences with vaping.</p><p>Trump’s initial pledge Sept. 11 to ban virtually all flavored e-cigarettes stunned vaping proponents and was immediately embraced by anti-tobacco advocates. In an Oval Office appearance with the first lady and Azar, Trump said the government would act within weeks to protect children from fruit, candy, dessert and other sweet vaping flavors, including mint and menthol.</p><p>The announcement followed a tweet two days earlier by Mrs. Trump expressing concern “about the growing epidemic of e-cigarette use in our children.”</p><p>“We need to do all we can to protect the public from tobacco-related disease and death, and prevent e-cigarettes from becoming an on-ramp to nicotine addiction for a generation of youth,” she said.</p><p>But within days, Trump tweeted that e-cigarettes might be a less-harmful alternative for smokers, a point long made by the industry. Meanwhile, vaping lobbyists, conservative groups and Republican lawmakers from key states warned Trump that a crackdown could cost him with voters.</p><p>The Vapor Technology Association launched ads and an online campaign promising to punish Trump and other politicians who support vaping restrictions. Conservative groups that have long promoted vaping as an alternative to smoking, including Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, joined the criticism.</p><p>That group and others helped organize protests against banning flavors, including one outside the White House. Trump supporters also showed up at some of his campaign rallies holding signs expressing their opposition to a ban.</p><p>The industry warned some 15,000 to 19,000 vaping shops across the country - and jobs - could be wiped out if flavors were eliminated.</p><p>The administration was widely expected earlier this month to announce a scaled-back flavor ban that would exempt menthol, citing research that the flavor was not widely used by children. But no decision came.</p><p>Trump instead told reporters on Nov. 8 — four days after his political advisers buttonholed him on the Kentucky trip — he was considering new approaches to curbing teen use, including raising the minimum age for purchasing tobacco from 18 to 21.</p><p>Last week, Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson sent Trump a letter warning against “unchecked government action that stifles innovation and restricts adults’ freedom to choose safer alternatives to smoking.”</p><p>Asked how disappointed the first lady would be if the president did not follow through with a ban, her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, who also speaks for the president, said Mrs. Trump’s priority is the health and safety of children.</p><p>“She does not believe e-cigarettes or any nicotine products should be marketed or available to children,” Grisham said.</p><p>Underage vaping has reached what health officials call epidemic levels. In the latest government survey, 1 in 4 high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the previous month.</p><p>Anticipating a ban on flavors, Juul Labs, the nation’s largest e-cigarette maker, said this month it would stop selling its best-selling, mint-flavored nicotine pods.</p><p>___</p><p>Lemire reported from New York.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>US asks federal judge to toss out Nevada plutonium lawsuit</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/business/2019/11/18/us-asks-federal-judge-to-toss-out-nevada-plutonium-lawsuit/</link><description>The federal government wants a judge to reject Nevada’s request for a court order to remove weapons-grade plutonium from a site north of Las Vegas</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/business/2019/11/18/us-asks-federal-judge-to-toss-out-nevada-plutonium-lawsuit/</guid><dc:creator>Ken Ritter</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:39:00 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2304" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/GAe1BG1DV_gHiUHLfiOCHcqAV6o=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/5BVWYJBXARAGRMONFFVQGWVQQY.jpg" width="3562"><media:description type="plain">FILE - In this Nov., 20, 2013, file photo, radioactive waste, sealed in large stainless steel canisters, are stored under five-feet of concrete in a storage building at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C.

The site was used to conduct nuclear weapons tests from 1945 to 1992.</p><p>The U.S. government had been ordered by a federal judge in South Carolina to remove a metric ton (2,204 pounds) of plutonium from the Savannah River nuclear weapons refining complex by 2020, and to remove another 5 metric tons (11,020 pounds) in future years.</p><p>The Energy Department says it plans to eventually move the plutonium to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. Outgoing Energy Secretary Rick Perry in April promised to send no more plutonium to Nevada and to remove the amount already delivered by 2027.</p><p>A spokeswoman for Democratic Sen. Catherine Marie Cortez Masto of Nevada said last week that Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Perry, said he will abide by the department’s promise to remove the plutonium.</p><p>____</p><p>Associated Press writer Scott Sonner in Reno, Nevada, contributed to this report.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>SA Live Recipes</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/sa-live/2019/11/08/sa-live-recipes/</link><description>Page with all the SA Live Recipes</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/sa-live/2019/11/08/sa-live-recipes/</guid><dc:creator></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:23:40 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="720" type="image/jpeg" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/FSAtzb8eAtG7fSAnHFDW0YDJrFE=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/LZPGYIAJQZANRCEZ3ACJSYYXFQ.jpg" width="1280"><media:description type="plain">SA Live Recipes graphic</media:description></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These recipes are tasty and sometimes so easy to make. <a href="https://www.ksat.com/topic/sa-live-recipes/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to watch and follow along to create these awesome dishes.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>SA Live Big Adventure</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/sa-live/2019/11/08/sa-live-big-adventure/</link><description>SA Live goes on a big adventure by visiting places near and far.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/sa-live/2019/11/08/sa-live-big-adventure/</guid><dc:creator></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:21:18 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="720" type="image/jpeg" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/gQHVbAMrb1M8nGih1eY64AEWOCo=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/72Y5B77CUJBXNJKUXHT64HSQAM.jpg" width="1280"><media:description type="plain">SA Live Big Adventure graphic</media:description></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>See places that you may or may not know existed.

(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)</media:description><media:credit role="author">Pablo Martinez Monsivais</media:credit></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The witnesses who have testified publicly and privately in the <a href="https://apnews.com/Trumpimpeachmentinquiry">House impeachment inquiry</a> so far have generally told a consistent tale.</p><p>Then there’s Gordon Sondland.</p><p>The U.S. ambassador to the European Union has said he cannot recall many of the episodes involving him that other witnesses have recounted in vivid and colorful detail. And the conversations he has said he does recall, he sometimes remembers in materially different ways. Those discrepancies matter because they concern some of the most pivotal meetings and conversations in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.</p><p>Sondland will almost certainly be pressed on those inconsistencies, as well as a newly revealed conversation he is said to have had last July with Trump, when he testifies Wednesday before impeachment investigators.</p><p>A look at how Sondland’s account differs from that of other witnesses:</p><p>ON INTERACTIONS WITH MICK MULVANEY</p><p>THEM: Multiple witnesses describe a cozy relationship between Sondland and the White House acting chief of staff.</p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/c45cb728edf84d96adf9a88e98979c51">Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman</a>, a National Security Council official, says Sondland cited a discussion with Mulvaney when pushing Ukrainian officials to open the investigations that Trump wanted into the 2016 U.S. presidential election and into political rival Joe Biden. Fiona Hill, another White House national security official, says Sondland repeatedly talked of meetings with Mulvaney.</p><p>In a further link between the two men, she quoted the-then national security adviser, John Bolton, as telling her he didn’t want to be part of “whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up.”</p><p>HIM: Sondland suggests he knows Mulvaney well enough to wave and say hello — and that’s about it. He says he may have spoken to him once or twice on the phone, but not about Ukraine. He doesn’t recall any sit-down meeting with him on Ukraine or any other subject. Mulvaney, he says, was “almost impossible to get a hold of,” rarely responding to messages.</p><p>____</p><p>ABOUT THAT QUID PRO QUO</p><p>THEM: William Taylor, the acting ambassador in Ukraine, <a href="https://apnews.com/468e0bcb51e74822a1f8cc11627a1c0d">told lawmakers that Sondland</a> said that “everything” — a White House visit for Ukraine’s new leader and the release of military aid to the former Soviet republic — was contingent on a public announcement of investigations into the 2016 election and into Burisma, the Ukraine gas company on whose board Hunter Biden sat.</p><p>HIM: This is where things get complicated.</p><p>In his closed-door testimony, Sondland stated that he wouldn’t have withheld military aid for any reason.</p><p>Not only that, he said he didn’t recall any conversations with the White House about withholding military assistance in return for Ukraine helping with Trump’s political campaign. Even then, though, he left himself some wiggle room, saying a text message he sent to Taylor reassuring him that there was no quid pro was simply what he had heard from Trump.</p><p>Weeks later, after testimony from Taylor and National Security Council official Tim Morrison placed him at the center of key discussions, Sondland revised his account in an extraordinary way. He said he now could recall a September conversation in which he told an aide to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskiy that military aid likely would not occur until Ukraine made public announcements about corruption investigations.</p><p>___</p><p>ON HIS ROLE IN UKRAINE POLICY:</p><p>THEM: Hill describes a “blowup” with Sondland in June when he asserted he was in charge of the administration’s Ukraine policy. Irritated and shocked, she said she responded, “you’re not.” “And I said, ‘Who has said you're in charge of Ukraine, Gordon?’” Hill said. “And he said, ‘the President.’ Well, that shut me up, because you can't really argue with that.”</p><p>HIM: Sondland says he doesn’t telling any State Department or national security official that he was acting on the president’s authority, or that the president had placed him in charge of Ukraine.</p><p>“I don't recall. I may have; I may not have. Again, I don't recall,” Sondland says.</p><p>Besides, he says now that he viewed his role as one of support rather than leadership.</p><p>____</p><p>ON PIVOTAL JULY 10 MEETINGS:</p><p>THEM: Testimony from multiple witnesses centered on a pair of pivotal, sometimes tense, meetings at the White House on July 10 involving combinations of U.S. and Ukrainian leaders. Several of those present say Sondland, on that day, explicitly connected a coveted White House visit to the country’s public announcement of corruption investigations. It was something he just “blurted out,” Hill said, recalling him saying: “Well, we have an agreement with the Chief of Staff for a meeting if these 'investigations in the energy sector start.” Vindman, too, remembers Sondland saying that day that the Ukrainians would have to deliver an investigation into the Bidens.</p><p>HIM: Sondland tells a different version of the day. He said he doesn’t recall mentioning Ukraine investigations or Burisma. The only conflict he describes from that day is a disagreement on whether to promptly schedule a call between Trump and Zelenskiy. He was in favor.</p><p>_____</p><p>ON RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIS PEERS</p><p>THEM: Hill recalls scolding Sondland face-to-face after the July 10 meetings, reminding him of the need for proper procedures and the role of the National Security Council. She says Bolton “stiffened” when Sondland brought up investigations in front of the Ukrainian officials and immediately ended the meeting.</p><p>Vindman, too, said he made clear to Sondland his comments were inappropriate “and that we were not going to get involved in investigations.”</p><p>HIM: Sondland doesn’t recall a cross word from Hill, Bolton or anyone else about his Ukraine work.</p><p>In fact, he says, Bolton signed off on the whole Ukraine strategy. “Indeed, over the spring and summer of 2019, I received nothing but cordial responses from Ambassador Bolton and Dr. Hill. Nothing was ever raised to me about any concerns regarding our Ukrainian policy.” As Hill was leaving her post in government, he recalled, she gave him a big hug and told him to keep in touch.</p><p>____</p><p>ON ADVICE HE MAY — OR MAY — NOT HAVE GIVEN</p><p>THEM: Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled last spring as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6550399-Marie-Yovanovitch-testimony-to-Congress.html">told lawmakers</a> both in a closed-door deposition and again at a hearing last week that she went to Sondland for advice when she faced public attacks from the president’s oldest son and conservative media figures. She said Sondland encouraged her to tweet in support of Trump, thinking that might help the problem.</p><p>“He suggested that I needed to go big or go home, and he said that the best thing to do would be to, you know, send out a tweet, praise the president, that sort of thing,” Yovanovitch said Friday. She said she assumed he meant well but that doing so would be too partisan and political.</p><p>HIM: Sondland said “I honestly don’t recall” when asked about that exchange and couldn’t recall any conversation he’d ever had with Yovanovitch about her career. When asked if he’d be surprised if someone else had said that he did that, he replied, “Probably, yeah.”</p><p>____</p><p>Follow Eric Tucker on Twitter at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/etuckerAP">http://www.twitter.com/etuckerAP</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Duke climbs to No. 1 in AP Top 25 following Kentucky’s loss</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/sports/2019/11/18/duke-climbs-to-no-1-in-ap-poll-following-kentuckys-loss/</link><description>Duke has moved to No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll following Kentucky’s surprising loss to Evansville</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/sports/2019/11/18/duke-climbs-to-no-1-in-ap-poll-following-kentuckys-loss/</guid><dc:creator>John Marshall</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:05:43 +0000</pubDate><media:group><media:content height="2388" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/dzikNuPfNptx-UdgIBFzAWnxC8Y=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/3YDCU5NVBJCQ7J575TTZGN5RCY.jpg" width="3582"><media:description type="plain">Duke's Joey Baker (13) reacts to a play during the second half of the team's NCAA college basketball game against Georgia State in Durham, N.C., Friday, Nov. 15, 2019.

</p><p>Despite losing her own baby just three hours after giving birth, a Wisconsin mom made the selfless decision to pump her breast milk anyway and donate it to other moms and babies in need.</p><p>
</p><p>Sierra Strangfeld, of Nellisville, said she pumped for 63 days straight after her son Samuel, who was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, died. “I couldn’t save Samuel’s life, but maybe I could save another baby’s life,” Strangfeld wrote on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sierra.coulthard/posts/3270467702994781" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Strangfeld was about halfway through her pregnancy with her second baby when doctors discovered the rare diagnosis, according to <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/family/story/mom-son-died-hours-birth-donates-milk-pumped-67039745" target="_blank">GMA</a>. Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, happens when an extra chromosome 18 is developed during cell division. It occurs once every 2,500 pregnancies and often results in stillbirths during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, according to the <a href="https://www.trisomy18.org/" target="_blank">Trisomy 18 Foundation</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>When doctors realized her baby wouldn’t survive much longer in utero, she had an emergency C-section.</p><p>
</p><p>"His hands were clenched, his feet were clubbed, he was small, but he was so perfect. He fought so hard to meet us,” she told GMA.</p><p>
</p><p>Inspired by her older daughter, who was fed donor milk given by her sister-in-law, Strangfeld said she wanted to continue the tradition in Samuel’s memory. So she pumped up until his predicted due date despite losing him weeks previously.</p><p>
</p><p>“There were times I was angry because why did my milk have to come in when I had no baby to feed? Why was I waking up in the middle of the night for this?” she wrote on Facebook. “The other part of me felt it was the only thing connecting me to Samuel.”</p><p>

Half of them were sent four free test kits but could order more. Many did, and shared them. The rest only got a link to local testing services.</p><p>Overall, 25 infections were detected in the self-testing group, versus 11 in the other group. Even more infections — 34 — were detected among friends of those who shared tests.</p><p>Over 70% of participants who learned of positive results sought treatment.</p><p>The <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y865n8vz"> study</a> was published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.</p><p>Other studies have tested the benefits of home HIV tests but the current one is the first internet-based effort with a mail-order advantage, the researchers said.</p><p>“Self-testing is an important option for some people and in some situations, it saves time, offers privacy, and reaches people who may not be able to or willing to access existing testing services,” said Robin MacGowan, the lead author and a researcher at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC paid for, designed and conducted the study.</p><p>A little over 1 million Americans are living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. More than two-thirds of newly diagnosed people are men who have sex with men, like those in the study, and 1 in 6 of these men is unaware of his infection.</p><p>The CDC launched the study in 2015, three years after the U.S. approved the OraQuick saliva test, the first and still only over-the-counter HIV test for home use. The study used the OraQuick saliva test plus a finger stick blood test, which was sent to a lab. OraQuick tests are sold in many pharmacies for about $35 to $50 per kit.</p><p>Men received no advice on how often to test; the average was about five tests during the yearlong study in the home-test group versus about two in the others. Most self-testers reported testing three times or more, compared with only 22% of the others.</p><p>They could receive up to $90 for participating, if they reported test results and completed several surveys.</p><p>Several cities and states have also offered free self-testing HIV kits, including Arizona, Los Angeles, New York and New York City.</p><p>Since Arizona’s program began last year, more than 2,800 kits have been distributed by mail or at pharmacies with vouchers, said Glen Spencer, head of a nonprofit foundation that runs the program for the state health department.</p><p>“It’s too early to tell the overall effect that the program has had on HIV rates, but it has identified at least six positive individuals and they have been successfully linked into care,” Spencer said. Participants have indicated on surveys “that they prefer the convenience of at-home testing and the avoidance of any stigma associated with in-person testing.”</p><p>A journal editorial notes that since 2013, the U.S. rate of new HIV diagnoses has stabilized, not decreased. Self-testing, along with HIV prevention medication designed for high-risk people, may help “accelerate the end of the epidemic,” the editorial says.</p><p>___</p><p>Follow AP Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner at @LindseyTanner.</p><p>___</p><p>The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives <a href="http://bit.ly/2ptoKnW">support</a> from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education.

So are the resources Cherington can draw from. The chance to supplement the major league roster with expensive free agents — as Cherington did in Boston — likely will not exist. Yet the 45-year-old does not appear to be intimidated by the financial realities his new job presents. Two decades in the business have taught him that while budgets may vary, the tenets of successful teams do not.</p><p>“Obviously the bigger the payroll, it gives you more margin for error on certain types of decisions,” Cherington said Monday, when the Pirates announced he had been hired to succeed Neal Huntington. “But if you peel back in Boston and what really drove winning, I think, in most of the best years was really good work in scouting and development. That’s what we’ll need to do here.”</p><p>Cherington will have wide latitude to address those areas in a team coming off a last-place finish in the NL Central. He said he is comfortable the Pirates have what they need to join Tampa Bay and Oakland among teams that thrive with modest payrolls.</p><p>“The investment that has been made in areas of scouting, (research and development), infrastructure, is really quite robust and very competitive if not favorable with other teams,” Cherington said. “Those are the things that we’re going to need to be great at. In places similar to this that are winning consistently, those are the things that they’re doing really well.”</p><p>Things the Pirates have not done well enough in recent seasons. Huntington oversaw an overhaul that culminated with Pittsburgh reaching the playoffs three straight years from 2013-15 by creating a roster that featured a mix of homegrown talent such as 2013 NL MVP Andrew McCutchen and veterans who revitalized their careers like pitcher A.J. Burnett and catcher Russell Martin.</p><p>However, the Pirates have finished below .500 in three of the last four seasons, a period in which high-profile prospects they traded away thrived elsewhere, including pitcher Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Austin Meadows.</p><p>“There's a lot of work that needs to get done and frankly we don't have enough talent in the organization right now,” chairman Bob Nutting said. “We need to be better at all those fundamentals. We need to be better at bringing in talent in every opportunity that we can.”</p><p>Pittsburgh went 69-93 in 2019, the franchise’s worst mark since 2010. The Pirates went 25-48 after the All-Star break, a collapse further marred by separate off-the-field altercations between relievers Keone Kela and Kyle Crick and members of the support staff as well as All-Star closer Felipe Vazquez’s arrest on felony charges stemming from an alleged illegal sexual relationship with a minor.</p><p>Nutting parted with Huntington, president Frank Coonelly and manager Clint Hurdle, then decided to bring in Cherington, who spent the last three seasons as vice president of baseball operations for the Toronto Blue Jays</p><p>“You have to be honest about the players that are here,” Cherington said. “Some good players are here and in the minor leagues. But we have to add to a lot of wins to that to get where we want to go, which is a winning team.”</p><p>Cherington’s first task will be finding a replacement for Hurdle, whose upbeat approach helped the Pirates end 20 decades of losing, a demeanor that became increasingly ineffective as 2019 snowballed out of control. The team interviewed candidates in October, then paused the process after Huntington was fired. Cherington said the club is “off to a really good start” but declined to say whether other candidates will be brought in.</p><p>“We need to create an environment at the major league level where players are improving all the time, are put in the best position to perform and we create not just an environment but a group of people that are collaborating together with those players in order to do that,” Cherington said.</p><p>Pittsburgh appears to have some solid building blocks. First baseman Josh Bell made his first All-Star team while hitting .277 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs. Outfielder Bryan Reynolds hit .314 while finishing fourth in NL Rookie of the Year balloting.</p><p>Yet the pitching staff is a mess. Ace Jameson Taillon will miss 2020 after Tommy John surgery on his right arm. The team exercised its option on Chris Archer even after Archer went 3-9 with a 5.19 ERA.</p><p>“I absolutely want us to rip a bunch of Band-Aids off, take a fresh look at a lot of areas, re-think how we’re doing it, and that’s going to take some time,” Nutting said. “You can’t do that in a week.”</p><p>___</p><p>More AP MLB: <a href="https://apnews.com/MLB">https://apnews.com/MLB</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AP_Sports">https://twitter.com/AP_Sports</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chief justice orders delay in House fight for Trump records</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/house-agrees-to-short-halt-in-fight-for-trump-records/</link><description>The House of Representatives is telling the Supreme Court it will agree to a 10-day halt in its fight for President Donald Trump’s financial records</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/house-agrees-to-short-halt-in-fight-for-trump-records/</guid><dc:creator>Mark Sherman</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:20:08 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="3648" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/EpmK6ZitWSMWOEmY0L6LQzfiGac=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/UX754BQP3VHYBKVUHGCIIZEGVI.jpg" width="5472"><media:description type="plain">President Donald Trump speaks during an event on healthcare prices in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, in Washington.

Circuit — Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee, and Thomas Griffith, an appointee of George W. Bush — seemed prepared to order at least some of the material sought by the House to be turned over.</p><p>House General Counsel Douglas Letter told the judges that the need for the still-secret material redacted from the Mueller report is “immense” because it will help House members answer the question, “Did the president lie? Was the president not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" in his written responses to the probe.</p><p>The House Judiciary Committee is seeking grand jury testimony and other details redacted from the public version of Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.</p><p>Last month <a href="https://apnews.com/358d24d6b69f4bca993455d944bcbeff">a judge ordered</a> the Justice Department to turn over the redacted material, but the Trump administration appealed. Whatever the appeals panel decides, the case is likely headed to the Supreme Court.</p><p>Griffith suggested that the House had a particular need for the material since the Mueller report ultimately left it to Congress to decide whether Trump had obstructed the Mueller probe.</p><p>But a third judge, Trump appointee Neomi Rao, seemed more sympathetic to the Justice Department’s arguments against releasing the information. She questioned whether the courts should get involved in any way in a dispute over impeachment between the legislative and executive branches.</p><p>Justice Department lawyers say they are barred from releasing the redacted material, in part because an impeachment inquiry does not qualify as a “judicial proceeding” under the federal law governing release of grand jury materials. Trump has called the impeachment inquiry “a witch hunt.”</p><p>Letter said people connected to the investigation have already been convicted of lying to Congress about issues related to what Mueller was investigating. So, he said, it’s far from a stretch for Congress to investigate whether Trump lied.</p><p>“There is evidence, very sadly, that the president might have provided untruthful answers. This, therefore, is obviously a key part of a possible impeachment inquiry.”</p><p>He said the House impeachment inquiry is proceeding on two tracks: the “Ukraine matter” as well as “the Mueller report’s discussion: Did the president carry out obstruction of justice and related bad acts?”</p><p>Democrats’ articles of impeachment are likely to focus mostly on Ukraine, though they haven’t ruled out wrapping in additional investigations. Any mentions of Mueller would be more likely to fall under articles on obstruction of Congress or obstruction of justice.</p><p>Griffith, in his questioning, raised the possibility of releasing less material than what U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell called for in her Oct. 25 order. Griffith asked whether it made more sense for a judge to hold a hearing and go through each redaction in the Mueller report and hear arguments on whether Congress could articulate a particularized need for that information.</p><p>He also asked whether the information could perhaps be released on a limited basis to House staff and lawyers while the courts continue to hear arguments on the broader question of what can be fully provided to Congress.</p><p>Democrats believe the redacted information could shed light on key episodes of the investigation, including discussions Trump is reported to have had with associates about the release of stolen emails during the campaign and conversations about a 2016 Trump Tower meeting at which Trump's eldest son expected to receive damaging information about Hillary Clinton.</p><p>In court papers, House lawyers cited one redaction that “appears to relate to grand jury evidence indicating that President Trump sought or obtained advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’s plans during the campaign” to release damaging emails related to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In his written testimony, Trump said he had no recollection of any particular conversations about the hacked emails.</p><p>The questions about whether Trump lied in his written testimony to Mueller come as Trump tweeted Monday he might be willing to offer written testimony as part of the House impeachment inquiry.</p><p>Other redactions cited in the court papers relate to contacts members of the Trump campaign met with Ukrainian officials “and therefore may be relevant to the House’s examination of whether the President committed impeachable offenses by soliciting Ukrainian interference in the 2020 Presidential election.”</p><p>In public proceedings last week in front of the House Intelligence Committee, the impeachment inquiry focused on whether the president withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure the government there to launch a public investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.</p><p>At the court hearing Monday, Griffith asked Letter whether the material sought was still relevant, given the apparent recent focus on Ukraine as opposed to the Mueller report.</p><p>“Don’t believe everything you’ve read in the press,” Letter responded.</p><p>___</p><p>Associated Press writer Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Trump summons Powell to discuss rates amid WH attacks on Fed</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/trump-summons-powell-to-discuss-rates-amid-wh-attacks-on-fed/</link><description>Trump and Powell discuss rates and economy amid presidential attacks on Federal Reserve</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/trump-summons-powell-to-discuss-rates-amid-wh-attacks-on-fed/</guid><dc:creator>Christopher Rugaber</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:14:20 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2855" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/DHeCyTDp1jLTiTvY8hhhrttFlbU=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/K7VW5LB5XFA73O4F7R2LRLJQEI.jpg" width="4282"><media:description type="plain">Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell testifies to the House Budget Committee, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

The central bank has cut its benchmark short-term rate three times this year to try to support the economy.</p><p>Monday’s meeting could fuel concerns that the White House is intensifying public pressure on Powell, who was Trump’s own choice to lead the Fed, to cut rates more aggressively. The independence of the Fed has long been considered vital to its ability to properly manage interest rate policy. Though other presidents occasionally sought to push the central bank toward rate cuts, they typically did so privately.</p><p>Most economists say they think Powell will continue to resist Trump’s pressure. Some regard the chairman as more politically agile than some of his predecessors, such as Ben Bernanke.</p><p>“I don’t see evidence of political pressure having any impact on Powell,” said Kathy Bostjancic, an economist at Oxford Economics.</p><p>Powell regularly meets with members of Congress from both parties. During <a href="https://apnews.com/5bdcb7573b7c4051b27a614145859395">two hearings last week</a>, lawmakers sounded largely supportive and respectful of the Fed’s independence.</p><p>For months, Trump has regularly assailed Powell’s leadership and for not cutting rates as much as the president would like. Trump has called Fed officials “boneheads” and has asserted that the economy and stock market would be performing better if rates were lower or even negative as in Europe and Japan.</p><p>Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1196455500940038144">tweeted Monday</a> that his meeting with Powell was “very good and cordial.” He added that they discussed “interest rates, negative interest, low inflation, easing, Dollar strength and its effect on manufacturing, trade with China, E.U. and others, etc.”</p><p>Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also attended the meeting, the Fed said.</p><p>Presidents often meet with Fed chairs to discuss the economy. But the stakes are much higher when the backdrop is Trump’s frequent attacks on the Fed and its chairman.</p><p>Monday’s meeting was at least the second since Powell became chairman in 2018. In February this year, the two had dinner at the White House, where <a href="https://apnews.com/ecf03fd95a9c4ffc85f593e69e5566a1">they discussed</a> the state of the economy as well as the Super Bowl and Tiger Woods’ golf game, Mnuchin said then.</p><p>Trump and Powell spoke briefly by phone on three occasions after that meeting, according to Fed calendars. The most recent of those calls was in May. Powell also regularly meets with Mnuchin and Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser.</p><p>Trump has complained that negative rates, which have been put in place by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, have left the United States, with its higher rates, at a competitive disadvantage. The Fed’s benchmark rate is in a range of 1.5% to 1.75%, an extremely low level by historic standards, particularly given that the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low of 3.6%.</p><p>In a speech last week, Trump said, referring to negative interest, “Give me some of that.... I want some of that money. Our Federal Reserve doesn’t let us do it.”</p><p>The Fed’s relatively high benchmark rate, compared with the negative rates overseas, probably does keep the dollar at a higher value compared with the euro and yen. That, in turn, can make U.S. exports more expensive overseas.</p><p>Still, the vast majority of mainstream economists oppose the notion of deploying negative rates for the U.S. economy, which is healthier and is growing faster than its European and Japanese counterparts.</p><p>Negative rates are typically a sign that an economy is struggling. Many U.S. economists have expressed skepticism that negative rates help accelerate growth and argue that they would cause problems unique to the U.S. financial markets.</p><p>Far more Americans, for example, stash savings in money-market funds than savers overseas. Those funds seek to keep their shares equal to $1. Negative rates could cause more of those funds to fall below $1, or “break the buck,” which last occurred during the financial crisis a decade ago and fueled panic among investors.</p><p>___</p><p>AP Economics Writer Martin Crutsinger contributed to this report.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Gnats, puddle of water in bathroom lead to reinspection at Northwest Side ice house</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/gnats-puddle-of-water-in-bathroom-lead-to-reinspection-at-northwest-side-ice-house/</link><description>An ice house on the city’s Northwest Side was ordered to go through a reinspection late last month after a health official found gnats below its sinks and around its drains.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2019/11/18/gnats-puddle-of-water-in-bathroom-lead-to-reinspection-at-northwest-side-ice-house/</guid><dc:creator>Dillon Collier</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:11:27 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="1277" type="image/jpeg" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/CxZAFPBerXY1_aXzYEBSTGJ3OIQ=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7HI7KUKRONF6VFN3UZ3XUT2YHI.jpg" width="1920"></media:content><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An ice house on the city’s Northwest Side was ordered to go through a reinspection late last month after a health official found gnats below its sinks and around its drains.</p><p>Brews Brothers Ice House in the 7400 block of Leslie Road was told to intensify its pest control efforts after scoring an 80.</p><p>The establishment was also cited for having pooled water on the floor of the men’s restroom.</p><p>You can read the full report by searching the <a href="https://www.sanantonio.gov/Health/FoodLicensing/FoodEstablishmentInspections"><i><b>Metro Health website.</b></i></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ksat.com/behind-the-kitchen-door/restaurant-scores/flies-gnats-roaches-bees-lead-to-low-health-score-for-south-side-restaurant"><i><u><b>READ MORE: Flies, gnats, roaches, bees lead to low health score for South Side restaurant</b></u></i></a></p><p>The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District's scoring of food establishments is based on a 100-point demerit system.</p><p>The inspection reports, which establishments are required to post in public view, feature a number score at the top and bottom of the front page.

U.S. stocks moved lower in early trading Monday, Nov. 18 as investors assessed mixed signals from the latest round of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. Media reports early Monday suggested that China is pessimistic about a deal because of U.S. reluctance to ease existing tariffs. That conflicted with a report from Chinas state media over the weekend that said negotiators had constructive discussions.

Nearly as many stocks in the S&amp;P; 500 fell as rose, and it took big gains for technology stocks and others to make up for sharp losses by oil producers.</p><p>The S&amp;P; 500 rose 1.57 points, or 0.1%, to 3,122.03. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 31.33, or 0.1%, to 28,036.22, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 9.11, or 0.1%, to 8,549.94.</p><p>Small-company stocks fell. The Russell 2000 index gave up 4.11, or 0.3%, to 1,592.34.</p><p>The market has been on a tear since early October, and indexes have been on a nearly uninterrupted run as worries about a possible recession have faded. Solid economic data, better corporate earnings than analysts expected and interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have all helped.</p><p>That leaves negotiations in the U.S.-China trade war as the remaining wild card for the market. President Donald Trump had earlier hoped to have signatures on the first phase of a trade deal by now, at a major international summit that was scheduled for this past weekend. But the president of the summit’s host nation, Chile, canceled the meeting last month amid nationwide protests.</p><p>The two sides are continuing to negotiate, with stock markets around the world swinging on every hint of progress or tension.</p><p>“Things are somewhat stable right now, which is really crazy when I think about the geopolitical issues going on abroad and in the U.S.,” said Mike Loewengart, vice president of investment strategy at E-Trade Financial. “But we caution investors to have reasonable expectations for additional gains going forward: Hope for the best, but be mindful that we could see an uptick in volatility at any time.”</p><p>Some churn was on display Monday as energy stocks sank 1.3%. It was the largest loss by far among the 11 sectors that make up the S&amp;P; 500, and it tracked a sharp drop for oil and natural gas prices. ConocoPhillips fell 2.7%, and Chevron sank 1.7%.</p><p>Counterbalancing those losses were big gains for technology stocks, particularly chip makers. They bolted higher after the Commerce Department gave another 90-day extension for Chinese tech giant Huawei to continue doing business with U.S. companies.</p><p>Nvidia jumped 4% for the biggest gain in the S&amp;P; 500, and Advanced Micro Devices was close behind with a 3.4% rise.</p><p>Other winners included stocks in areas of the market that tend to pay big dividends and hold up even when the economy is slowing.</p><p>Real-estate stocks and companies that make everyday goods for households both rose 0.5%, for example.</p><p>These kinds of stocks are known as “defensive” investments, and they had begun to lag the market in recent weeks as investors opted for companies whose profits can rise more quickly in a healthy economy.</p><p>But a drop in Treasury yields Monday may have made the dividends paid by defensive stocks more attractive.</p><p>The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.81% from 1.83% late Friday.</p><p>Trading was quiet Monday as the market nears the end of corporate reporting season. More than 90% of companies in the S&amp;P; 500 have already said how much profit they made during the summer, and reports have mostly come in ahead of Wall Street’s expectations.</p><p>Still on deck are several big retailers. Home Depot will report results on Tuesday. Target and Lowe’s will report results on Wednesday. Macy’s and Gap will release their earnings on Thursday.</p><p>Also coming up this week are the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting, where it decided to cut interest rates for a third time this year, and reports on manufacturing and consumer sentiment.</p><p>Overseas stock markets were mixed.</p><p>Japan’s Nikkei 225 index rose 0.5%, South Korea’s Kospi slipped 0.1% and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong jumped 1.3%. London’s FTSE 100 added 0.1%, while France’s CAC 40 slipped 0.2% and Germany’s DAX lost 0.3%.</p><p>In the commodities markets, benchmark oil fell 67 cents to settle at $57.05 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 86 cents to close at $62.44 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline fell 2 cents to $1.62 per gallon. Heating oil declined 5 cents to $1.90 per gallon. Natural gas fell 12 cents to $2.57 per 1,000 cubic feet.</p><p>Gold rose $3.60 to $1,470.90 per ounce, silver rose 6 cents to $16.99 per ounce and copper fell 2 cents to $2.62 per pound.</p><p>The dollar fell to 108.65 Japanese yen from 108.84 yen on Friday.

The new leadership is also struggling to open dialogue with opponents, particularly after the shooting deaths of nine pro-Morales coca growers during a confrontation with security forces Friday in the central town of Sacaba.</p><p>On Monday, Morales’ supporters in Sacaba threw rocks at police, who fired back with tear gas trying to disperse the protesters.</p><p>Furious over the shootings in Sacaba, backers of Morales demanded the resignation of Jeanine Áñez, Bolivia’s self-proclaimed interim president.

They appealed for the participation of Morales’ Movement Toward Socialism party and said topics would include new elections and calls for a new election panel. Former President Carlos Mesa, who finished second to Morales in the disputed Oct.20 election, said he would participate.</p><p>The new hydrocarbons minister, Víctor Hugo Zamora, told Bolivia’s ATB television that a gasoline supply convoy was having difficulty reaching the city because of roadblocks and ditches dug by protesters.</p><p>Many shops in La Paz were closed and the few that opened were charging double the normal price, resident Guillermina Chura said.</p><p>“What are we going to give to our families if things continue this way?” Chura said.</p><p>Vendor Ana Gonzáles said she had packed up her vegetable stand in the street because she had nothing to sell.</p><p>“What am I going to live from?” Gonzáles said.</p><p>She also said Morales should take steps to calm the situation.

When he came out it was like he was like a little Max.”</p><div><iframe frameborder="0" height="1080" src="ac0f0f18-fe53-48ed-a85f-f5594c62150e" width="1620"></iframe><div><span>Max Menchaca shattered his skull after an accident at a Houston area indoor trampoline park.</span></div></div><p>Max’s injury was just one of thousands of serious injuries that have happened at indoor trampoline parks. As the industry has exploded in popularity in recent years so have visits to emergency rooms for everything from broken legs to broken necks.</p><p>A 2016 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found between 2011 and 2014 “the number of emergency department visits from injuries sustained at trampoline parks rose more than 10-fold from 600 to almost 7,000.”</p><p>The same study reported that 85 percent of trampoline related injuries still happen at home but “trampoline park injuries have a 1.7 times higher likelihood of requiring admission to the hospital.”</p><p>According to the AAP, trampoline injuries result in nearly 100,000 trips to the emergency room every year. The academy strongly recommends against recreational trampoline use by children and believe it should be discouraged by doctors.</p><p><a href="https://www.ksat.com/news/defenders/2019/11/14/undocumented-duo-accused-of-scamming-people-in-4-states-arrested-in-san-ant" target="_blank"><i><b>Undocumented duo accused of scamming people in 4 states arrested in San Antonio</b></i></a></p><p>This summer, the KSAT Defenders requested San Antonio Fire Department responses to five local trampoline parks from January 2017 through the end of July 2019.</p><p>According to the records provided, there were 67 calls with most classified as trauma responses with some for falls, chest pains and fainting.</p><p>The park that racked up the most calls in the time period that was looked at came from Thin Air on Fredericksburg Road which had 22 fire responses.</p><p>The park has since gone out of business.</p><p>“You’ve got to know that you’re at an extremely high injury risk when you go to these places,” said attorney Tom Crosley. “It is a very high risk of injury and usually if there is an injury, it’s the kind of life-changing injury.”</p><p>Crosley has become an expert on trampoline park-related injuries. He took on Max’s case and proved at trial the owners of the park knew one of their trampolines was damaged but did little to protect their guests.</p><p>“What we were able to prove in the trial is that they knew about this problem because it happened the day before as they were closing the park. But instead of fixing it, they opened the park the next morning because this is going to be a big money day for them,” Crosley said.</p><p>Surveillance video from inside the park showed employees had placed a couple of stanchions on the canvass near the tear but only on one side. Max likely never saw the hole until he slid down the other side of the incline and fell through it.</p><p>“It would seem common sense that they didn’t do the minimum safety things that they should have done. But instead, they blamed Max because they said he should have known,” Crosley said. “Every trampoline park has security video, usually multiple angles in multiple rooms. So when there are injuries they are caught on tape and we were able to get that tape. We had so much video that we were able to show that for four hours there were lots of other close calls before Max was injured. And so it was, in our view, a case of gross negligence.”</p><p>Crosley convinced the jury and they awarded Max $11.5 million dollars in medical expenses and damages.</p><p>Crosley and the Menchaca family had hoped the large verdict would force the trampoline park industry to take notice and step up efforts to increase safety.</p><p>However, six years later, trampoline parks remain unregulated in the state of Texas and in many other states.</p><p>“In Texas, like most states, we regulate amusement parks. We regulate amusement rides. We require safety inspections. We require a certain minimum amount of insurance, all sorts of things that are designed to keep consumers and end users of those devices to keep them safe. We even regulate bounce houses, you know, the kind that might be at your child’s birthday party where there’s air pressure flowing in. We regulate those, but we don’t have any regulation in effect for trampoline parks,” Crosley said. “There’s a need to establish some baseline of regulation for safety purposes. There ought to be certain inspections that are required. There ought to be minimum safety protocols. There ought to be minimum insurance limits that are required.”</p><p>The trampoline park industry sees things differently. In a statement from the International Association of Trampoline parks, Executive VP Bethany Evans said, “Patron safety is a top priority for the IATP. We take every opportunity to communicate and recommend to our members that all optimal steps be taken to mitigate risks.”</p><p>Evans said the IATP “advocates that trampoline parks abide by ASTM International F2970-17, the Standard Practice for Design, Manufacture, Installation, Operation, Maintenance, Inspection and Major Modifications of Trampoline Courts.”</p><p>In addition, the IATP recently announced that by 2021, all of its member parks “will be required to pass a third-party inspection to continue with IATP membership.” But critics point out there is no requirement for trampoline park owners to belong to the IATP or to follow its guidelines.</p><p>That leaves consumers to trust that operators are regularly inspecting equipment, making repairs and hiring competent employees.</p><p>“The absence of regulation means that pretty much anything goes. Because it’s the Wild West, and there’s no governmental agency that’s setting rules and requiring them to follow, you have a few responsible trampoline parks on one end of the spectrum and you have some irresponsible ones on the other end of the spectrum, " Crosley said. “What’s really needed is either a combination of awareness of the dangers by the people going so that they are informed and make an informed choice still to take that risk along with some governmental oversight just to make sure that there are minimum safety regulations that are enforced, minimum insurance requirements that exist, certain periodic inspections and that certain engineering standards for safety are in place.”</p><p>Most parks require patrons to sign liability waivers acknowledging the dangers before being allowed to jump. Even though Crosley’s client Max Menchaca had signed one of those agreements, Crosley argued it wasn’t enforceable because Max was a minor.</p><p>“So if you’re 18 or older, you have the legal capacity to waive or release any future claim you may have. But you don’t have the ability to do that for a child. So even a parent can’t waive a child’s injury claim,” Crosley said. “Most of these injuries are tibia and fibula fractures, lower leg injuries of the type that is normally associated with trampoline use. So if it’s somebody older than 18, most of the time, lawyers aren’t going to take that case unless there’s something really unusual about the injury. If it’s a minor, however, people need to know that just because they signed this piece of paper that says they’re giving away any right, they have to seek legal recourse. That’s going to be held unenforceable in Texas.”</p><p>Despite living with the lingering effects of his injury, Trace Menchaca says her son Max is now attending college and is on track to graduate next year. Meanwhile she continues to fight for trampoline parks to be regulated in Texas. Menchaca has worked with state lawmakers to get a bill passed but so far hasn't been successful.</p><p>“What people don’t understand and what’s so scary is that any carnival in any supermarket parking lot anywhere in the country with those little rickety Ferris wheels that you would never let your kid on is regulated. But the trampoline park that you’re going to on the weekends is not,” Menchaca said. " We’re not trying to take the fun out of it. We’re trying to just make it safe. I really think it’s going to take a major tragedy, an entire collapse of equipment with an entire birthday party before somebody goes, ‘Wait a minute. What just happened?’"</p><p>Here are some tips from International Association of Trampoline Parks before jumping:</p><p>1. Never jump without a court monitor supervising the attraction.</p><p>2. Be certain to read all rules and regulations posted throughout the park.</p><p>3. Make sure to watch a safety video or have a safety briefing from staff.</p><p>4. Always be aware of your surroundings, and never jump around or near other jumpers.</p><p>5. If the park has a foam pit make sure the foam is at or above the level of the trampoline.</p><p>6. Look for the IATP membership sticker on the door.</p>]]></content:encoded><media:content height="1080" medium="video" type="video/mp4" url="https://d1akq03u1jevln.cloudfront.net/wp-gmg/2019/11/17/5dd1c7d64cedfd0009c35bbd/t_b7bf9fe215bd4cdda36d47da47e20c41_name_10_accident/file_1920x1080-5400-v4.mp4" width="1620"><media:title>Max Menchaca's trampoline accident</media:title><media:thumbnail url="https://d1vhqlrjc8h82r.cloudfront.net/11-17-2019/t_b9edcbfda007406c8717cd0c49a198fb_name_file_1920x1080_5400_v4_.jpg"></media:thumbnail></media:content></item><item><title>Bloomberg wins key SC endorsement ahead of possible 2020 bid</title><link>https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/bloomberg-wins-key-sc-endorsement-ahead-of-2020-run/</link><description>If he opts to enter the Democratic presidential primary, New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg will get one of South Carolina’s most-coveted endorsements</description><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2019/11/18/bloomberg-wins-key-sc-endorsement-ahead-of-2020-run/</guid><dc:creator>Meg Kinnard</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:49:12 +0000</pubDate><media:content height="2280" type="application/octet-stream" url="https://www.ksat.com/resizer/pTStN7CL4uIEYgA3aUBL8Wen-Y4=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-gmg.s3.amazonaws.com/public/ULA4FSHLP5AONFVJXDU7TNLTO4.jpg" width="3459"><media:description type="plain">FILE - In this Feb. 26, 2019, file photo, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks at a news conference at a gun control advocacy event in Las Vegas.
