wild aces mc Raiders owner offers update on head coach’s statusCLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — Staff and visitors at the Harrison County Courthouse were evacuated early Wednesday morning due to smoke. The Clarksburg Fire Department was notified to the smoke at approximately 8:20 a.m. The incident was caused by a transformer in the building malfunctioning, which led to a motor connected to an air conditioning unit in the jail annex malfunctioning as well, which caused smoke to accumulate, said County Administrator Laura Pysz-Laulis. To clear the building of smoke, a rooftop vent was opened, and the draft carried the smoke out of the building, said Clarksburg Fire Chief James Greene. Within 15 minutes, people were allowed back inside the courthouse, Greene said. The power failure that resulted from the transformer malfunction caused the court computer system to falter, and a sentencing hearing had to be rescheduled as members of the court were unable to connect with a defendant virtually. These issues were not easily remedied due to the court computer system being connected to a private network through the West Virginia Supreme Court in Charleston. Officers of the court had to wait for the system to come back online, as opposed to being able to call the information technology department for assistance. “It’s not like our IT (staff) can hurry up and get in there and fix things quick. It just takes a little bit longer with it having to go through Charleston,” Pysz-Laulis said.

Plans Required to Cover Treatment for SOD1-ALS ARLINGTON, Va. , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a first-of-its-kind directive requiring Medicare Advantage plans to approve coverage for Qalsody, a treatment for people living with genetic SOD1-ALS. This decision reflects the ALS Association's commitment to ensuring that people living with ALS have access to promising ALS treatments without delay. "This is a victory for the entire ALS community," said Calaneet Balas, president and CEO of the ALS Association. "It's critical that FDA-approved treatments are made accessible rather than being labeled as 'experimental.' We are grateful to everyone in our community who helped make this day happen." Balas added: "We hope this sends a message to the entire rare disease community and pharmaceutical industry that new treatments can be developed and made accessible to those who will benefit from them. We need to ensure more ALS treatments are developed and approved that will help everyone living with ALS." The ALS Association played a key role in the historic CMS directive by participating and advocating for the research, approval, and accessibility of Qalsody for people living with ALS. In 2004, the ALS Association was the first to fund research into ALS-specific antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) technology, investing over $1.3 million in groundbreaking studies that laid the foundation for the development of Qalsody. This early commitment supported preclinical studies, safety trials, and the first-in-human phase 1 trial, which established SOD1 as a viable therapeutic target. In 2023, Qalsody became the first gene-based therapy approved for ALS , thanks in part to the ALS Association's efforts, including a united push from the ALS community for FDA accelerated approval. This new CMS directive provides precedent for state regulators to issue similar actions for other private insurers. According to the Valor study published in 2022 , Qalsody, which was developed specifically to target the RNA produced by mutated SOD1 genes, has demonstrated significant promise in clinical trials and real-world studies. In the phase 3 VALOR trial, Qalsody reduced levels of mutated SOD1 proteins in cerebral spinal fluid by 35% within eight weeks and decreased bloodstream levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL)—a key biomarker of neurodegeneration—by 50% within 12-16 weeks. These biological changes translated into measurable clinical benefits, including slower disease progression, improved respiratory function, and enhanced quality of life after 52 weeks of treatment. Real-world data has since validated these findings, with some patients stabilizing or even experiencing improvements in motor function and quality of life. When insurance companies began denying access to Qalsody, labeling it as "experimental," the ALS Association took decisive action, working directly with CMS to launch an investigation into these unjust denials. By presenting evidence of widespread insurance rejections and demonstrating the critical need for immediate intervention. In addition to working with CMS, the ALS Association actively engaged policymakers, held strategic meetings with state and federal legislators, and served as a staunch advocate for patients, ensuring their voices were heard and their rights to life-changing treatment were upheld. The ALS Association urges anyone previously denied Qalsody by their Medicare Advantage plan to contact their ALS specialist immediately to begin the process of securing access to this critical treatment. For more information on the CMS directive visit als.org About the ALS Association The ALS Association is the largest ALS organization in the world. The ALS Association funds global research collaborations, assists people with ALS and their families through its nationwide network of care and certified clinical care centers, and advocates for better public policies for people with ALS. The ALS Association is working to make ALS a livable disease while urgently searching for new treatments and a cure. For more information about the ALS Association, visit our website at www.als.org . About ALS Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Over the course of the disease, people lose the ability to move, to speak, and eventually, to breathe. The disease is always fatal, usually within five years of diagnosis. Few treatment options exist, resulting in a high unmet need for new therapies to address functional deficits and disease progression.

Or the scenario may call for a victory so they can remain alive in the AFC playoffs. Either way, the Colts' postseason fate hangs on other teams as they enter Sunday's game against the lowly New York Giants at East Rutherford, N.J. Indianapolis (7-8) is mathematically alive in the playoff hunt but trails the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos by two games with two contests left. The Chargers and Broncos both have games on Saturday. If both nine-win clubs win, the Colts will be eliminated and miss the playoffs for the fourth straight season. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is well aware of the team's predicament and scenarios entering the game against the Giants (2-13), who have lost a franchise-record 10 straight games. "We still have an opportunity, with some help from other people," Richardson said. "But we just taking it one game at a time because it doesn't do us any good if everybody else does what they have to do to help us out and then we don't go out there and take advantage of it." Richardson (back/foot) sat out practice Thursday and the Colts remain confident his ailments will improve. If not, veteran Joe Flacco could be in line to start against New York. Flacco was just 1-3 as a starter when Richardson was sidelined or benched earlier this season. But Flacco (nine touchdowns, five interceptions) has a superior touchdown-to-interception ratio than Richardson (eight TDs, 12 interceptions) and has completed 66.5 percent of his passes compared to Richardson's 47.7 percent. No matter who starts, the game plan will revolve around star running back Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 218 yards and three scores on 29 carries during last weekend's 38-30 home win over the Tennessee Titans. It was Taylor's second-most rushing yards in a game behind the club-record 253 he put up against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the 2020 season. The Giants are starting Drew Lock at quarterback for the fourth time in the past five games. Lock underwent an MRI exam on his passing shoulder Monday but no damage was found. He hurt it during Sunday's 34-7 road loss against the Atlanta Falcons. Lock is 0-3 as a starter this season and has completed just 52.7 percent of his passes. He has one touchdown and four interceptions in 129 attempts. "As a quarterback, the ball is in your hands every play and one or two bad plays can change a game," Lock said of his miscues. "You try to look at them individually, try to learn from each play individually and go onto the next week. Learn from what you did and just have a heavy emphasis on taking care of the ball." Giants coach Brian Daboll opted for Lock over Tommy DeVito, who is 0-2 as a starter this season. Daboll said he made the decision to continue the continuity from last week. Meanwhile, star rookie wideout Malik Nabers (toe) missed practice Thursday and called himself a game-day decision. Nabers has 97 receptions for 969 yards and four touchdown catches as one of the bright spots of the horrendous season. "It's tough on everybody. It's not just tough on me. It's tough on everybody," Nabers said of the team's troubles. "I'm continuing to keep my mental (attitude) strong, continue to move forward, continue to try to better the team, better myself. Lead by example. I feel like that's really all we can do in this state of mind that we're going through." In addition to Nabers, running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle), center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), linebacker Micah McFadden (neck), cornerbacks Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin) and Dee Williams (toe) and safety Raheem Layne (knee) sat out practice Thursday. Richardson was one of three Colts to miss practice. The others were tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee). In the most recent meeting, the Giants routed the Colts 38-10 late in the 2022 season. --Field Level MediaGovernment excels at NOT getting things done. But politicians promise more things anyway. Kamala Harris declared that our government would “build thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable!” This “Broadband Connectivity Agenda” was supported by “every House Republican on Energy and Commerce,” write Republican representatives. Three years later, not a single person has been connected. Why? Because, as Milton Friedman put it, “Few people spend other people’s money as carefully as they spend their own.” Private individuals and businesses constantly adjust to save time and money. But politicians, spending your money, have little interest in that. They routinely add rules that make everything take longer. You have to “hire certain people based on their color, their sex,” complains investor Matt Cole in my new video . “You already have a talent problem, now you’re looking at only being able to recruit from a very small minority of individuals. Then you have to do climate pledges. Then you have to hire from unions.” “But diversity is good,” I push back. “That doesn’t mean that you should hire someone because of their race or skin color ... You have all these companies that could actually (build broadband), but its unimplementable with the restrictions. They just walk away.” Eventually, I assume the government will install at least some broadband. By then, their cables may be unnecessary, because of satellite internet, like Starlink, which doesn’t require digging up streets. “They could do it literally today,” says Cole. “You could have devices in these people’s homes within the next couple of months.” Why don’t government officials do that? At first, Biden bureaucrats said, “Starlink failed to demonstrate that it had the technical and financial ability.” When it became clear that Starlink obviously did, the administration suddenly called it a monopoly. The FCC chair sneered, “Our economy doesn’t benefit from monopolies.” “First, they’re not functional, now it’s a monopoly,” says Cole. “The reality is, they didn’t want that to be the solution.” Didn’t want it to be because Biden Democrats didn’t want to give money to Elon Musk. Now Musk has a friend in government. Maybe things will change. But government giving contracts to friends is not good policy. It’s also not a smart way to get things built. Government pumped billions into “high-speed rail.” Fifteen years later, they’re still talking about the future. Bureaucrats wasted $500 million of your money on the solar company Solyndra, which then went bankrupt. They wasted millions more trying and failing to create “synthetic fuel.” More recently, Biden doled out $7 billion to build 500,000 EV charging stations. Two years later, they’ve built seven. Republicans joined Democrats in funding a CHIPS Act, meant to bring chipmaker jobs to America. It isn’t working. Most chips are still made in Taiwan. “Even if they get what they promise,” I point out to Cole, Congress appropriated “$53 billion for 115,000 promised jobs. Almost half a million dollars per job!” “You expect nothing else from government,” he replies.” With Republicans in charge, some say things will be better. But the problem isn’t just Democrats; it’s government. Trump’s steel tariffs destroyed American jobs by raising the price of steel. Politicians should just stop subsidizing certain businesses.

The Florida Panthers are at a crossroads right now. They are in the midst of a five-game stretch where they are 1-4-0. Florida is not playing very good hockey, according to Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice. "It wasn't the game, it's bigger," Maurice said Thursday. "This is five-game block we've played one way, and that's not good enough for us." After losing two home games to the New Jersey Devils and splitting a home and home with the Winnipeg Jets, the Panthers dropped a 3-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks Thursday night. The good news is they get to come back to Sunrise for a three-game homestand which begins Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche. The bad news is that they'll be facing three very good hockey teams. Florida will face the Avalanche, the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs at Amerant Bank Arena before taking to the road again. These three games are very important and they must pick up points. The Panthers are one-point behind the Maple Leafs, who they'll face Wednesday, in the Atlantic Division standings. Florida is currently 12-7-1, while the Maple Leafs are 12-6-2. There are still plenty of games left for the Panthers to turn things back around. The lone goal by the Panthers was scored by none other than Sam Reinhart, who is tied for the NHL lead with 15 goals. Reinhart is also fourth in the league with 30 points. His point streak has now reached 12 games, with Reinhart accumulating 10 goals and 18 points during the run.

VerifyMe Faces Potential Delisting from Nasdaq Due to Minimum Bid Price Non-ComplianceNEW YORK , Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) between February 8, 2024 and October 29, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") and those who purchased Chipotle call options or sold put options during the Class Period, of the important January 10, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm. So what: If you purchased Chipotle securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the Chipotle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30587 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 10, 2025 . A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Chipotle's portion sizes were inconsistent and left many customers dissatisfied with the Company's offerings; (2) in order to address the issue and retain customer loyalty, Chipotle would have to ensure more generous portion sizes, which would increase cost of sales; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Chipotle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30587 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Activate your Online Access Now Article content Weegar suited up for one season with the Raiders before he left to join the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Halifax Mooseheads, but he made his impact felt with 13 goals, 37 assists and 50 points in 53 games in 2011-12. “It’s one of those moments when you lay in bed and think about it that you can’t believe it,” Weegar told the Ottawa Citizen from his Calgary home on Friday. “It’s quite the honour, but it’s going to be special just having all my family and friends there. “It will be weird to be back in the Sportsplex because you relive those moments, and there will be quite a few people there.” The season Weegar spent as a 16-year-old with the Raiders was special. That club won the CCHL title and advanced to the Fred Page Cup. He was approached by the Mooseheads midway through the season to join them, but and though Nepean coach Peter Goulet urged Weegar to make the jump, he opted to stay. “It was a year that made a huge impact,” Weegar said. “It felt like the NHL to me because I was a late bloomer. I was asked to play for Mooseheads and said no because I was too committed to the Raiders. I wanted to stay with this team, and Peter was pushing me to go.

Article content “We were having a bit of a battle because I chose to stay and we won the championship because I felt the loyalty to him as a coach and my teammates. I felt like after that year I could turn this into a living and I could see being a hockey player after that.” He did leave after the season and had a chance to play with Nathan MacKinnon in Halifax. His mother, Louise and uncle/agent Matt Ebbs both encouraged Weegar to take the next step. “It was tough leaving home the first time. I cried like a baby leaving. I remember being on the front porch, crying, when I was going away,” he said. Selected No. 206 overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2013 NHL draft, Weegar has had to work for everything. He split the 2014-15 campaign between the ECHL and American Hockey League. He also spent two more full years in Springfield before making the Florida Panthers’ roster in 2016-17. Weegar signed an eight-year, $50-million U.S. deal with Calgary in October 2022 after he was dealt to the Flames as part of the trade that sent forward Matthew Tkachuk to Florida. The journey hasn’t been easy for Weegar. “I was carving my path in minor hockey. I was playing for the ‘A’ team when there was a ‘AAA’ team. I was always a step or league behind,” Weegar said. “You stay motivated and dedicated and you have great support behind you with my friends and family.

You have to have people around you. Sunday isn’t just about me, it’s about everybody that’s helped me get to this point of getting a jersey retired. I have a lot of people who carved that path with me and I owe that to them as well.” The Raiders will also give Randy Watt, a coach, general manager and longtime Nepean executive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication to the organization. Watt, battling ALS — known more commonly as Lou Gehrig’s disease) — led the Raiders with Goulet during the 2011-12 campaign. “What truly sets Randy apart is his deep connection to the Nepean community,” current Raiders owner Robert Kinghan said. “Whether engaging with fans or helping those in need, Randy’s presence reminds us that hockey is about people, not just the game.” Weegar’s best friend is Watt’s son, Brandon, and he is happy to be able to share this moment with that family. “It’s pretty emotional with Randy being honoured at the same time, just because of what he’s done for me and with Brandon and I being best buddies,” Weegar said. “I’ve been thinking about Randy and the impact that he had on me.

They made you well-respected people with good manners.” Though Weegar wore No. 4 when he played with Nepean, the No. 52 he now wears will be pulled to the rafters. He has that number because it was worn by his cousin Craig Rivet, who suited up for more than 900 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks and Columbus Blue Jackets. “Fifty-two is who I am. Everyone knows Weegar with No. 52 behind it, and, if that’s going to go up where people can I see, I want people to see the legacy that No. 52 has with my cousin and myself,” Weegar said. bgarrioch@postmedia.com Recommended from Editorial ALL TOO FAMILIAR: Ottawa Senators need to turn the page and climb standings - fast TAKEAWAYS: Senators lose fourth in a row as third-period rally falls short against Vegas Article content Share this article in your social network Share this Story : NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Calgary defenceman MacKenzie Weegar will have number retired by Nepean Raiders Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Comments You must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Former ANC president and current Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) party founder Jacob Zuma has finally been expelled from the organisation he once led. This after ANC’s national disciplinary committee of appeal upheld the decision of the party’s national disciplinary appeal to expel Zuma from the party. Zuma launched the breakaway party last December while claiming to still be a member of the ANC, a strategy which paid off at the polls on 29 May when MK party took 14% of the vote — and the parliamentary majority the ANC had held since 1994. Zuma was suspended and charged in terms of the ANC’s constitution, with the committee finding against him and expelling him last month, a decision which he appealed. ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said in a statement on Friday afternoon that Zuma’s behaviour had been the “highest form of ill-discipline” and had been a “direct attack on the historical mission of the ANC”. “By establishing and leading a rival political party, he abandoned the core values of organisational loyalty and collective accountability, converting himself into a tool for destabilisation,” she said. “As a former president of the ANC, Mr Zuma was expected to embody the highest standards of disciplined leadership and advanced cadres who serve as guides and inspiration for all members of our movement and society. “Instead, his actions have undermined the unity and cohesion of the movement at a time when it is critical to consolidate and push forward with organisational renewal and confront the pressing challenges facing South Africa,” she said. Zuma’s “severe breach” of the ANC’s organisational discipline had necessitated his expulsion to safeguard its integrity and unity. The ANC will never permit an individual, regardless of stature or historical contribution, to undermine its mission to build a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society,” Bhengu-Motsiri said. She said the expulsion reaffirmed the ANC’s commitment to revolutionary morality and discipline and to democratic centralism. “This decision must serve as a reminder that no individual is greater than the movement, and that the ANC strength lies in its collective leadership and unwavering dedication to the aspirations of the people,” she said. Zuma, who served two terms as ANC president and president of the country until his recall by the party in February 2018, has argued that he remains a party member and that his formation of the MK party is aimed at “saving” it from its current leadership. This despite the fact that the MK party is the official opposition in parliament and in KwaZulu-Natal. MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela did not respond to a request for comment from the Mail & Guardian. Mail & GuardianOur dial-a-quote saviours

WiSA Technologies (NASDAQ: WISA) Enters into Asset Purchase Agreement with CompuSystems, Inc.Brighton star Joao Pedro would have earned an "easy" red card against Brentford if his elbow connected with Yehor Yarmoliuk's head, claims Mark Clattenburg . Pedro was lucky to avoid an early bath during Brighton's 0-0 draw with Brentford after appearing to show frustration during a duel with Yarmoliuk, swinging his arm around towards the Ukrainian after he pulled at his shirt but narrowly missing. VAR officials reviewed the footage but opted not to send Pedro off, with the Premier League later releasing a statement explaining why he avoided punishment. "The referee’s call of no red card to Joao Pedro for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed the referee’s call was not clear and obviously wrong," the statement read. Former Premier League referee Clattenburg agreed with the decision, but warned that it would have been an "easy" decision for referee Andy Madley if Pedro had made any contact. Clattenburg said: "If we look at the laws of the game as it's written, it has to be to strike an opponent or attempt to strike an opponent. Because there was no contact he can't be sent off the field of play for the contact. Therefore, it's whether he attempted to strike the opponent. The more I look at it, because it's an unusual action, especially from behind he is looking towards Andy Madley when he swings his arm. He keeps his arm quite close to his body and I think it's more of a gesture to the referee. "Andy Madley is in a very good position. He couldn't have been sent off for the contact but he could have been sent off for the attempted contact. I believe it's a gesture more than an attempted strike. "I think Joao Pedro makes a gesture to the referee but if he wanted to swing and use brutality he would have swung his arm out and created contact." Co-commentator Andy Townsend added on Prime Video: "I don't believe Joao Pedro should be red carded for this but he can't be throwing his elbow out like that." Fans were left baffled by the decision, however, and said the intent from Pedro meant he should have been sent off. One fan wrote on Twitter : "It's madness that anyone can look at that and say it's not a red." Another said it was irrelevant that Pedro hadn't made contact, saying: "That's far worse than [Jhon] Duran's yesterday. When it's that deliberate, does the connection really matter?" A third sarcastically wrote: "Good to know that players can throw punches now as long as they miss they’ll be fine", and a fourth added: "A disgrace. Red card all day. Intent was clear." The result continues Brighton's poor recent form, which extends to six games without a win as Pedro was unable to inspire them to a much-needed three points. It also prolonged a sticky patch of form for Brentford and meant they still haven't won an away game in all nine matches on their travels this season.

O ne of the most enjoyable aspects of the Premier League this season has been watching the swift deliquescing of Manchester City from being imperious guardians of the title to bedraggled, dilatory also-rans. This has been a fillip to all neutrals, of course — schadenfreude is always at its more delicious when it is the truly mighty who are failing. It has also been a little weird, watching them trot on to the pitch and not expecting them to win. They do not seem to be expecting themselves to win, either, which may be where the root of the problem lies. It is less simple than you might expect to pinpoint precisely when the rot set in. Those who believe in poetic justice like to point to the moment Erling Haaland advised Mikel Arteta to “stay humble” after City’s somewhat fortunate 98th-minute equaliser against Arsenal at the end of September. That was a game Arsenal should have won — and perhaps would have done had Leandro Trossard not been sent off at the end of the first half. But City were not firing on all cylinders even before then — you have to go back to mid-August to find them swatting clubs aside as though they didn’t matter."Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
