Helping to drown out the noise

Ex-Colorado footballer Bloom dedicates time to fulfilling wishes for older adultsThe Onion's rejected purchase of Infowars in an auction bid supported by families of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting dealt them a new setback Wednesday and clouded the future of Alex Jones' conspiracy theory platform, which is now poised to remain in his control for at least the near future. What's next for Infowars and Sandy Hook families' long-sought efforts to hold Jones accountable over calling one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history a hoax was unclear, after a federal judge in Houston late Tuesday rejected The Onion's winning bid for the site . U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said he did not want another auction but offered no roadmap over how to proceed. One possibility includes ultimately allowing Sandy Hook families — who comprise most of Jones' creditors — to return to state courts in Connecticut and Texas to collect on the nearly $1.5 billion in defamation and emotional distress lawsuit judgments that Jones was ordered to pay them. “Our hope is that when this process ends, and it will end, and it will end sooner rather than later, is that all assets that Alex Jones has available are paid to the families, and that includes Infowars, and that as a result of that process Alex Jones is deprived of the ownership and control of the platform that he’s used to hurt so many people,” Christopher Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families, said in a phone interview Wednesday. The families, meanwhile, were preparing the mark the 12th anniversary of the Dec. 14 shooting. The sale of Infowars is part of Jones’ personal bankruptcy case , which he filed in late 2022 after he was ordered to pay the $1.5 billion. Jones was sued for repeatedly saying on his show that the 2012 massacre of 20 first graders and six educators was staged by crisis actors to spur more gun control. Lopez said there was a lack of transparency in the bidding process and too much confusion about The Onion's bid. He also said the amount of money offered in the only two bids was too low and there needed to be more effort to try to raise as much money possible from the selling of Infowars' assets. The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, submitted a $1.75 million cash offer with plans to kick Jones out and relaunch Infowars in January as a parody . The bid also included a deal with many of the Sandy Hook families for them to forgo $750,000 of their auction proceeds and give it to other creditors. Lopez called it a complex arrangement that led to different interpretations of the bid's actual value as well as last-minute changes to a proposed sale order. The other bidder was First United American Companies, which runs a website in Jones’ name that sells nutritional supplements and planned to let Jones stay on the Infowars platforms. It offered $3.5 million in cash and later, with Jones, alleged fraud and collusion in the bidding process. Lopez rejected the allegations, saying that while mistakes were made there was no wrongdoing. Christopher Murray, the trustee who oversaw the auction, said he picked The Onion and its deal with the Sandy Hook families because it would have provided more money to Jones' other creditors. The next steps remained unclear Wednesday. The judge directed Murray to come up with a new plan to move forward. Murray and representatives of The Onion did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The judge said there was a possibility there could be a trial in 2025 to settle Jones' bankruptcy. He said Murray could try to sell the equity in Infowars' parent company. He also said Murray could abandon the efforts, which could allow the Sandy Hook families to return to the state courts where they won their lawsuits against Jones and begin collection proceedings against him. The judge said he wanted to hear back from Murray and others involved in the bankruptcy within 30 days on a plan to move forward. Mattei, who represented the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut lawsuit, said everyone is waiting to see what plan the trustee comes up with. Jones, meanwhile, continued to allege fraud and collusion on his show Wednesday and threatened legal action over what he called an attempted “rigged auction.” On the social media platform X, he called the judge's ruling a “Major Victory For Freedom Of The Press & Due Process." “I don’t want to have to go after these people, lawsuit-wise, but we have to because if you don’t then you’re aiding and abetting and they do it to other people. They made some big mistakes," he said. It's a solemn and heartbreaking week for relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The 12th anniversary is Saturday, and some of the victims' relatives were traveling to Washington, D.C., to attend the annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence on Wednesday evening. The families usually mark the anniversary out of the public eye. Many of the families said their lawsuits against Jones bought back the unbearable pain of losing their loved ones, as well as the trauma of being harassed and threatened by believers of Jones' hoax conspiracy. Relatives said they have been confronted in public by hoax believers and received death and rape threats. Robbie Parker, whose 6-year-old daughter Emilie was killed, testified at the Connecticut lawsuit trial in 2022 that the decade of abuse his family suffered made them move across the country to Washington state, and even there he was accosted in person. The families have not received any money from Jones since winning the trials. Jones has been appealing the $1.5 billion in judgments, and has since conceded that the shooting did happen. Last week, a Connecticut appeals court upheld most of the judgment in that state but reduced it by $150 million. Associated Press writer Juan A. Lozano in Houston contributed to this report.None

Best Bets, Odds for the Bengals vs. Titans Game – Week 15

After having advanced all the way to the Class 5A regional finals the previous two seasons, Liberty Hill was poised for another postseason run last year until it ran into a familiar foe that shattered any dreams of hoisting a trophy. The Lady Panthers had defeated district rival Cedar Park in both regular-season meetings earlier in the campaign, only to bow out to the Timberwolves in the third round of the playoffs – medicine Liberty Hill head coach Chris Lange said was tough to take. “Losing to Cedar Park isn't what you want,” he said, of the 42-37 regional quarterfinals setback that ended the Purple-and-Gold's season. “It was a hard pill to swallow – to let them beat us after we had beaten them twice, but that's on me.” According to Lange, lessons learned from not only that particular loss, but over the course of the entire season, have already been applied as he and his team readied themselves for the new season. “We had to take what happened last year as far as what worked and what didn't,” said Lange. “We needed to make adjustments with the plays we're running and try to avoid mistakes we made last year.” Senior point guard Gabby Mundy has been at the controls for the Lady Panthers for the past three seasons since taking over a starting role her freshman year and knows this is her last opportunity before moving on to college – although despite the experience she's gained in guiding Liberty Hill's ship to this point, she said leading now is certainly a different proposition than it was back then. “Actually, I think it's a lot harder being a leader now,” said Mundy, who has committed to NCAA Division I Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. “Before, I've always had seniors who taught me what I needed to do and this year we have a small senior class.” Aside from Mundy, the only other seniors on the squad are center Evie Bruce and guard Makaila Hay, so plenty of pressure will be on the trio to perform and Mundy said it's also more difficult now to produce with how opponents game-plan to neutralize her specifically. “Now when I go out on the court, it's harder to find shots,” she said. “But, one of the things I've learned over the past three years is knowing when the right time for me to score is based on what the defense is doing. But, I'm still a lot more confident in my 3-point shooting now than my freshman year.” Despite the fact Mundy remains the floor leader, Lange said going into this season he realized he needed to loosen his grip on the reins from the sidelines a bit. “Our girls wanted a little more freedom in our offense,” he said. “We still have certain rules and concepts we stick to, but now they have the option to do some different things if the situation presents itself.” But, it wasn't just Xs and Os Lange concerned himself with based on last season's experience – in addition he wanted to create more of a culture of togetherness. “I've definitely made more of an effort working on building a better team dynamic and keeping the chemistry by being a little more honest with everyone about what their roles are,” said Lange. “We've gone as a team to watch some other sports and done as much as we can together.” Sign up to get our free daily email of the biggest stories! Surprisingly, though, Lange decided to dial back a bit on one particular staple of offseason activity. “We had fewer summer workouts this year because I thought we were spending too much time with each other in the past,” he said. “Before, there wasn't a time when the girls could really get away from each other, so we wanted to find a happy medium – having them spend enough time together, but not too much.” Last season, the Lady Panthers finished with an overall record of 35-3 and a 12-2 district mark good for second in the league standings behind champion Glenn and burst out of the starting gates by winning their first 27 games before finally dropping their first matchup with the Grizzlies by a 44-30 score. As a result, this time around, Lange chose to schedule a tougher non-district road for his team – something he had drifted away from in recent years, he said. “This year, I decided to go back to my old way of scheduling,” said Lange. “So, we loaded up our schedule.” Indeed, Liberty Hill will face perennial powerhouse programs Westlake, Wagner, Georgetown and Fredericksburg, as well as play in the annual Jack Frost tournament that traditionally attracts some of the top teams from across Central Texas in order for his club to be more battle-tested come the district slate and eventually the postseason, said Lange. “At that point in the season, it's not necessarily about wins and losses,” he said. “But, getting better.” In addition to Mundy and Bruce, much will also be expected from junior forwards Falon Stroup and Renee Stemmons, who provide rebounding and defense, as well as junior sharpshooter Reagan Robbins, who gives Lange an additional outside scoring threat. Additional returners from last season include juniors Julia Ortiz, Lyndsey Bullock and sophomores Katelyn Olds, Lexi Glenn and Audrey Richardson. Another pair of juniors in Josie Perkins and Brooke Schneider will make their varsity debuts, while sophomore Kallahan Erps will also feature, giving Lange the infusion of youth he always likes to add to his roster, he said. “I've always been all about giving kids a chance,” said Lange. “But, they have to show up and do the work.” Mundy is determined to make the most of her final high-school season. “I just want to have the best senior season possible because I know it's going to be a lot different when I go off the college,” she said. “So, I'm putting all my effort in because I really want to get a championship.”

LEDUC COUNTY, ALTA. — Alberta’s government says it will invest up to $50 million to support the creation of a first-in-Canada drilling test site to support technology development in the oil, gas, geothermal and lithium industries. The Alberta Drilling Accelerator is intended to be an open-access, industry-led site where companies can test drilling technologies at deep depths, high temperatures and varying rock types. A location for the hub site has yet to be determined. While no binding contracts have been signed, the province says several companies have expressed strong interest in serving as anchor tenants, including Calgary-based geothermal company Eavor Technologies, Tourmaline Oil Corp. and international oilfield service supermajor Halliburton. The money the province is providing will come from the industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) program, which Alberta's heavy emitters are required to pay into as part of the province's industrial carbon pricing system. The provincial government says the Alberta Drilling Accelerator could start drilling in 2026. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 25, 2024.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street got back to climbing after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 gained 0.8% Wednesday to break a two-day losing streak and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged with a dip of 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that the Fed will deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are rising Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve . The S&P 500 gained 0.9% and is on track to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.8% and was heading for a record. Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market as expectations built that Wednesday’s inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a 95% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. Wednesday’s report said U.S. consumers paid prices in November that were 2.7% higher than a year earlier. That’s a slight acceleration from October’s inflation rate of 2.6%, but it was exactly what economists were expecting. Another report on inflation at the wholesale level will arrive on Thursday. “The data have given the Fed the ‘all clear’ for next week, and today’s inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year , with the latest coming last week. On Wall Street, Stitch Fix jumped 47.8% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. Albertsons edged down by 0.6% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn’t do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it’s seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 0.6%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants’ merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Mondelez, the company behind Oreo and other food brands, climbed 2.2% after announcing a plan to send cash to shareholders by buying back up to $9 billion of its own stock. The program replaces a prior $6 billion plan, which had about $2.8 billion of capacity remaining and would have otherwise expired at the end of next year. On the losing end of Wall Street, Macy’s fell 2.3% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. Dave & Buster’s Entertainment sank 18.7% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, rose to 4.16% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law. ___ AP Writers Matt Ott and Zimo Zhong contributed. Stan Choe, The Associated PressHow Mamata Banerjee weathered RG Kar storm to blow aside Opposition in Bengal assembly bypollsChuck Woolery, the first host of Wheel Of Fortune , is dead. His podcasting co-host, Mark Young, confirmed his death to TMZ . Woolery was 83. “It is with a broken heart that I tell you that my dear brother @chuckwoolery has just passed away,” Young posted . “Life will not be the same without him, RIP brother.” Woolery was born on March 16, 1941, in Ashland, Kentucky. After serving two years in the U.S. Navy, Woolery moved to L.A. and “hadn’t a clue” what he would do there. In a 2020 interview , Woolery recalled meeting John Wayne on his third day in town. Wayne was of no help. Instead, the future host turned to children’s television, landing his first credit on the New Zoo Revue , playing an 85-year-old mailman. Before he became one of America’s preeminent vowel salesmen, Woolery plucked the double bass. Throughout the ’60s, Woolery was a musician, playing bass in the folk group The Borderman and, later, the psych-pop duo The Avant-Garde. Avant-Garde’s sole hit, “Naturally Stoned, ” a lush bit of orchestral psychedelia, peaked at 40 on Billboard . A parody remix of the song would later be the theme to GSN’s short-lived reality series Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned . After Avant-Garde disbanded, Woolery continued to perform music, releasing several albums on Columbia. Though his tunes didn’t move mountains, Woolery made connections on the talk show circuit, performing on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show . One day on set, Griffin asked him, “Did you ever think about being a game show host?” After considering his own impression of a game show host (“the guy with a bad mustache and a bad jacket who cares nothing about what you have to say”), Woolery responded, “No, but I’d like to think about it.” Woolery agreed to host the pilot for Shopper’s Bazaar , which Griffin retooled into America’s Game. Woolery first spun onto American television sets on January 6, 1975, as the host of Wheel Of Fortune . The show was an immediate hit, but Woolery’s time on the series would be shortlived. After six years with Wheel , he demanded his salary be raised from $65,000 to $500,000, matching Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall. Griffin refused and hired Pat Sajak to replace him. “Merv was so upset with me, they started taping over all the old Wheel of Fortune [masters],” Woolery told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021. In 1983, Woolery jumped from Wheel to Love Connection , a dating game show for over a decade and 2,100 episodes. It is also where Woolery launched his catchphrase, “We’ll be back in two and two ,” which he delivered by raising two fingers and flicking his wrist, cluing the viewing audience into the two-minute-and-two-second ad-break ahead. Woolery would also host the game shows Greed , Scrabble , and Lingo , as well as his daytime talk show, The Chuck Woolery Show . In the 2010s, Woolery began focusing on politics, launching SaveUsChuckWoolery.com as part of his numerous online efforts to brand himself a Republican humorist. He published videos mocking Occupy Wall Street and wealth inequality on his YouTube channel, leveraging his political leanings and online audience into appearances on Fox News and his right-wing podcast Blunt Force Truth . This would, unsurprisingly, lead to numerous controversies, including his being accused of anti-Semitism and criticized for COVID denial, which he later walked back . Woolery is survived by his fourth wife, Kim Barnes, and three children, Michael, Melissa, and Sean. His two children from his first marriage, Chad and Katherine, died.
