ROC latent biometrics software integrated with Smytek contactless forensic cameraBUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — Incredible news for Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo and many cancer patients with the creation of a new cell and gene therapy unit at Roswell is being called a game-changer. 7 News Senior Reporter Eileen Buckle was there for the announcement to learn how this will provide cutting-edge technology to treat certain cancers. “A milestone moment for Roswell Park and New York State and actually the world,” announced Dr. Candace Johnson, president & CEO, Roswell Park. Roswell Park leaders and Governor Kathy Hochul announced the new $98 million Roswell Park Cell and Gene Therapy Center Monday, the largest in the nation. “What a great day for Buffalo,” declared Governor Hochul. “This scientific revolution is changing lives already." The state has funded $30 million toward this new center, and it is expected to generate an economic benefit to the region and initially create 61 new jobs. Right now, this state-of-the-art facility concentrates on the treatment of those with blood cancers. The CAR-T Cell therapy means your T-cells are removed from your body, sent into these labs, and genetically modified. “So, when they put them, transplant them back in me, they’re programmed really to attack any lymphoma cells,” explained Christopher Vogelsang, Roswell patient. Vogelsang of Buffalo has been a patient at Roswell for 15 years for treatment of lymphoma. But he underwent the new therapy and rang the famous Roswell bell because he is “cancer-free”. A post shared by Eileen Buckley (@eileen.buc1) “I'm doing really well. Just back being busy with my life and activities, playing golf and tennis, and doing a lot of walking, and really just back to normal. It feels pretty darn good,” reflected Vogelsang. Initially, CAR-T Cell therapy is focused on blood cancers but will eventually focus on other cancers as well. “But the real challenge is to be able to apply this technology to much more common cancers and it's a bit more complicated with solid tumors, which are more common, but that's what Candace and that's what Roswell has committed to do,” stated Dr. Renier Brentjens, deputy director & Chair of the Department of Medicine at Roswell Park. There are also plans to expand cell therapy to treat ALS and Parkinson’s and other diseases. "CAR-T is just a phenomenal move in science just the evolution of science to get to this point,” Vogelsang remarked.

Arkansas DE Landon Jackson carted off field and taken to hospital with neck injuryA California jury found Walmart defamed a driver with false claims of workers' compensation fraud, and now the company must pay the former worker more than $34 million in damages. Filed in the California Superior Court in San Bernardino County , the two-part verdict filed this week said Jesus Fonseca should receive $25 million in punitive damages and $9.7 million in actual damages from the supermarket giant. Fonseca worked for Walmart for 14 years before being fired by the company, his lawyer David deRubertis said in a statement to USA TODAY. According to a complaint obtained by USA TODAY, Fonseca was forced by Walmart to tell prospective employers that he committed fraud and violated integrity policy. “We believe the evidence at trial showed that Walmart’s defamation of Jesse was part of a broader scheme to use false accusations to force injured truckers back to work prematurely or, if not, terminate them so that Walmart can cut down workers’ compensation costs,” deRubertis said in a social media post. What happened? Fonseca was injured while working when a semi-truck was rear-ended by another truck, deRubertis said. He then filed a workers’ compensation claim in which Fonseca told the company he was under doctors' orders which restricted his driving at work. Walmart then fired him, citing surveillance work that showed him driving a personal car and seeing Fonseca "bending for a matter of minutes", according to deRubertis. “The notion that someone possibly performing daily activities outside of their work restrictions amounts to fraud is preposterous,” the complaint said. “Yet, even if an employee with work restrictions inadvertently violates them, this does not amount to fraud in the workplace.” Walmart called the jury's decision "outrageous" in a statement to USA TODAY. “This outrageous verdict simply does not reflect the straightforward and uncontested facts of this case. Accordingly, we will pursue all available remedies,” the company said. Fernando Cervantes Jr. is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.

BOSTON (AP) — Two men, including a dual Iranian American citizen, have been arrested on charges that they exported sensitive technology to Iran that was used in a that killed three American troops early this year and injured dozens of other service members, the Justice Department said Monday. The criminal case in federal court in Massachusetts charges the men, identified as Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi and Mohammad Abedininajafabadi, with export control violations. U.S. officials blamed the January attack on the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias that includes Kataib Hezbollah. Three Georgia soldiers — Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Sgt. Breonna Moffett of Savannah and Sgt. Kennedy Sanders of Waycross — were killed in the Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan called Tower 22. In the attack, the one-way attack drone may have been mistaken for a U.S. drone that was expected to return back to the logistics base about the same time and was not shot down. Instead, it crashed into living quarters, killing the three soldiers and injuring more than 40. Tower 22 held about 350 U.S. military personnel at the time. It is strategically located between Jordan and Syria, only 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Iraqi border, and in the months just after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Israel’s blistering response in Gaza, Iranian-backed militias intensified their attacks on U.S. military locations in the region. Following the attack, the U.S. launched a against 85 sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Iranian-backed militia and bolstered Tower 22’s defenses. ____ Tucker and Copp reported from Washington.

The two-day 11th Annual Gulf Studies Forum, held by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, began Saturday. The first roundopf the forum is organised into two tracks and the first is “Arab Gulf States and the Palestine Question” and the second is “The Gulf City as a Structure and Social Agent”. Researchers from the Gulf, other Arab states, and beyond will present a total of 40 research papers across 14 sessions and a keynote. The forum began with opening remarks from HE the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, introduced by Alanoud Al-Khalifa, researcher at the ACRPS Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Studies Unit. HE Al-Khulaifi noted the pioneering role of the Arab Center in raising public awareness about issues of concern to the Arab region, in particular the Gulf. He stressed that the Gulf States and other Arab and Islamic countries will remain focused on the Palestine question. These countries seek to harness all their capabilities to support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their just efforts to achieve self-determination. The stability and security of the region are closely linked to a just solution to the Palestine question. He pointed to the pivotal role played by the State of Qatar in promoting dialogue and peacemaking and stressed the importance of mediation as a principal tool for resolving conflicts. He went on to review Qatar’s efforts in resolving regional and international conflicts, including its mediation in humanitarian issues; such as supporting families affected by conflicts. He called for transforming the ideas emerging from the forum into practical steps to enhance stability and sustainable peace in the region. He also spoke about Qatar’s efforts regarding the Palestine question, stressing the need to reach a just and comprehensive solution that guarantees the rights of the Palestinians in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and the two-state solution. Proceedings started with the first session of the first track titled “The Attitudes of the Gulf States toward the Palestine Question”, chaired by Ghanim Al-Najjar. Abdulaziz bin Othman bin Saqr analysed the Saudi stance on the Israeli war on Gaza, emphasising its core demand for Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of an independent state within the pre-1967 borders. Abdullah Al-Ghailani explored Gulf positions on the Palestine issue, tracing their evolution from the 1948 Nakba to Al-Aqsa Flood. The session concluded with Sultan Al Khulaifi’s paper on Qatari foreign policy under Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani (1972-1995), addressing the complexities of Qatar’s approach to the Palestine question during this period. The second session of the first track was chaired by Chaired by Hatem Al-Shanfari and began with Asaad Saleh Al-Shamlan discussing Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan's announcement of the “International Alliance to Implement the Two-State Solution” during the 2024 UN General Assembly. Sherine Mubarak explored US-Saudi relations from 1933 to 1953, highlighting tensions due to differing views on Palestine. Hossam Elsayed Zaki Shalabi reviewed the Trucial States and Oman’s positions on Palestine from 1917 to 1948, examining their responses to key events like the Balfour Declaration, the Great Palestinian Revolt, the 1947 partition plan, and their role in the 1948 war. The first session of the second track, chaired by Saad Albazei and titled “The City and Nation-Building (1): The Saudi Case” featured three papers. The first paper by Ulrike Freitag focused on the cosmopolitan city of Jeddah to examine the different ways in which people have created affective links with cities and ways of expressing identity in the city through certain types of civic engagement. Alanoud Al-Khalifa’s paper elucidated how the historical narrative of Diriyah is employed to affirm political legitimacy in Saudi Arabia and reinforce the vision of the contemporary nation-state. In the third paper, Rufei Li argued that the urban transformation process of al-Balad, Jeddan, is the outcome of state-building and nation-building processes, which in turn impacted al-Balad significantly regarding its role in Saudi Arabia’s nation-building. The third session of the first track and second session of the second track were also organized simultaneously. Dania Dhafer chaired the first track, which was organized in collaboration with the Gulf International Forum. Kristian Ulrichsen presented a paper on the potential impact of the 2024 US presidential elections on US policy towards the Gulf. Mohammad Ghanem Al-Rumaihi analysed the challenges in Gulf-US relations following the Gaza war, focusing on the Gulf’s effort to balance East-West relations amid political complexities. Inderjit Parmar discussed the implications of the 2024 US election results, predicting that a second Trump administration would oppose international institutions and escalate tensions with China, potentially destabilizing the Middle East and global energy supplies. In the second track titled “The City and Nation-Building (2): Khaliji Cases”, chaired by Amal Ghazal, three papers were presented: Sundus Al-Rashid discussed the history of the Kuwait National Museum, beginning with its location in the city and its relationship with surrounding facilities as a cultural and social institution, as well as its national symbolism. Saoud Abdulaziz Al Ahmad, Amnah Abdullah Alshammari, and Betul Uzun examined the strategic use of urban spaces in shaping national identity in Qatar, focusing on Msheireb and Souq Waqif. Djamel Boussaa focused on the role of heritage tourism and its implications for urban regeneration in the context of Doha, Jeddah, and Dubai to demonstrate how the resilient historic urban centres are struggling to survive in a fast global environment. Modern Urbanism in the Gulf In the next two sessions, only papers of the second track were presented. In its third session titled “Urban Modernization Structures as a Social Agent”, chaired by Yagoub Al-Kandari, Yasser Mahgoub explored the complex interplay between urban structures and social dynamics in Kuwait City and Doha to show how urban development shapes and is shaped by social processes. Mahdi Laadhari investigated the changes tied to urban and societal development in Kuwaiti society, focusing on the Diwaniya and the modernization process it underwent. Abdulrahman Albaker chaired the fourth session titled “The Gulf City and Modern Urbanism”, which featured Davide Ponzini, who presented recent plans and mega-projects in Gulf cities and limitations and opportunities to advance planning knowledge, as well as Mustapha Ben-Hamouche, who examined the future of GCC cities through urban planning frameworks, referencing the “Life Cycle of Cities” hypothesis. The forum will continue conclude Sunday, as outlined in the agenda. On Sunday, there will be three sessions on the forum’s first track, and four sessions and a keynote on the forum’s second track.
