panalo999 login NEW YORK (AP) — Richard Parsons, one of corporate America's most prominent Black executives who held top posts at Time Warner and Citigroup, died Thursday. He was 76. Parsons, who died at his Manhattan home, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2015 and cited “unanticipated complications” from the disease for cutting back on work a few years later. The financial services company Lazard, where Parsons was a longtime board member, confirmed his death. The NBA, where Parsons was interim CEO of the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014, was among organizations offering condolences. “Dick Parsons was a brilliant and transformational leader and a giant of the media industry who led with integrity and never shied away from a challenge,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. Parsons’ friend Ronald Lauder told The New York Times that the cause of death was cancer. Parsons stepped down Dec. 3 from the boards of Lazard and Lauder's company, Estée Lauder, citing health reasons. He had been on Estée Lauder’s board for 25 years. Parsons, a Brooklyn native who started college at 16, was named chairman of Citigroup in 2009, one month after leaving Time Warner Inc., where he helped restore the company’s stature following its much-maligned acquisition by internet provider America Online Inc. He steered Citigroup back to profit after financial turmoil from the subprime mortgage crisis, which upended the economy in 2007 and 2008. Parsons was named to the board of CBS in September 2018 but resigned a month later because of illness. Parsons said in a statement at the time that he was already dealing with multiple myeloma when he joined the board, but “unanticipated complications have created additional new challenges.” He said his doctors advised him to cut back on his commitments to ensure recovery. “Dick’s storied career embodied the finest traditions of American business leadership,” Lazard said in a statement. The company, where Parsons was a board member from 2012 until this month, praised his “unmistakable intelligence and his irresistible warmth.” “Dick was more than an iconic leader in Lazard’s history — he was a testament to how wisdom, warmth, and unwavering judgment could shape not just companies, but people’s lives,” the company said. “His legacy lives on in the countless leaders he counseled, the institutions he renewed, and the doors he opened for others.” Parsons was known as a skilled negotiator, a diplomat and a crisis manager. Although he was with Time Warner through its difficulties with AOL, he earned respect for the company and rebuilt its relations with Wall Street. He streamlined Time Warner’s structure, pared debt and sold Warner Music Group and a book publishing division. He also fended off a challenge from activist investor Carl Icahn in 2006 to break up the company and helped Time Warner reach settlements with investors and regulators over questionable accounting practices at AOL. Parsons joined Time Warner as president in 1995 after serving as chairman and chief executive of Dime Bancorp Inc., one of the largest U.S. thrift institutions. In 2001, after AOL used its fortunes as the leading provider of Internet access in the U.S. to buy Time Warner for $106 billion in stock, Parsons became co-chief operating officer with AOL executive Robert Pittman. In that role, he was in charge of the company’s content businesses, including movie studios and recorded music. He became CEO in 2002 with the retirement of Gerald Levin, one of the key architects of that merger. Parsons was named Time Warner chairman the following year, replacing AOL founder Steve Case, who had also championed the combination. The newly formed company’s Internet division quickly became a drag on Time Warner. The promised synergies between traditional and new media never materialized. AOL began seeing a reduction in subscribers in 2002 as Americans replaced dial-up connections with broadband from cable TV and phone companies. Parsons stepped down as CEO in 2007 and as chairman in 2008. A year later AOL split from Time Warner and began trading as a separate company, following years of struggles to reinvent itself as a business focused on advertising and content. Time Warner is now owned by AT&T Inc. A board member of Citigroup and its predecessor, Citibank, since 1996, Parsons was named chairman in 2009 at a time of turmoil for the financial institution. Citigroup had suffered five straight quarters of losses and received $45 billion in government aid. Its board had been criticized for allowing the bank to invest so heavily in the risky housing market. Citigroup returned to profit under Parsons, starting in 2010, and would not have a quarterly loss again until the fourth quarter of 2017. Parsons retired from that job in 2012. In 2014 he stepped in as interim CEO of the Clippers until Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took over later that year. Parsons, a Republican, previously worked as a lawyer for Nelson Rockefeller, a former Republican governor of New York, and in Gerald Ford’s White House. Those early stints gave him grounding in politics and negotiations. He also was an economic adviser on President Barack Obama’s transition team. Parsons, who loved jazz and co-owned a Harlem jazz club, also served as Chairman of the Apollo Theater and the Jazz Foundation of America. And he held positions on the boards of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Parsons played basketball at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and received his law degree from Albany Law School in 1971. He is survived by his wife, Laura, and their family. This obituary was primarily written by the late Associated Press reporter Anick Jesdanun, who died in 2020 .

Brandon Granger, the son of Texas Republican Rep. Kay Granger, informed the Dallas Express his mother has been battling “some dementia issues late in the year” and had been residing in an assisted-care facility for the last half year. The most recent vote she casted on the House floor was in July, and she has been absent for more than 300 votes since that time. While this is certainly alarming news to hear, Granger is hardly an anomaly The median age of senators in the incoming 119th Congress will be 64 years old. In the House, the average age is 59. A majority of our current Supreme Court is past or approaching retirement age. Do senior officials possess the mental capacity or innovation crucial to lead the country? Soon-to-be former president Joe Biden was just one example of the frailty of officials who demonstrated a decline in motor skills. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein was a prime and depressing example of someone who should have stepped down before she was visibly impaired. Mitch McConnell, who was the victim of a few sporadic frozen public episodes, stepped down from Senate leadership but will remain in office until his term expires in 2026. The senility issues of a sizable segment of numerous powerful and influential leaders in Washington are a quiet but growing scandal. Increasing public concern about leaders who are defiant and resist any suggestion to exit while their mental faculties are intact is amplified by a Congress that appears to be psychologically indifferent and confined to the days of yesteryear bereft of the political acumen crucial to effectively combat modern problems. Many are devoid of the ever-increasing social media platforms that are essential in effectively connecting with younger as well as middle-aged voting blocks. A number of polls earlier this year showed public unease about the ages of Biden and 78-year-old Donald Trump. Polls show upwards of 70% of Americans support the idea of implementing an age limit on candidates for president and for Congress, and a mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices, potential legal challenges notwithstanding. In the early 1990s, certain activists employed such an initiative process to ratify passage of term limits on Congress in more than 20 states, without a single loss. Back in 1995, the Supreme Court ruled 5–4 that states cannot arbitrarily impose such term limits. Almost three decades later, the idea remains overwhelmingly popular as ever. If you have to be a certain age to run for certain offices, which makes sense, then shouldn’t there be an age limit to prohibit persons from inhabiting certain positions? Many high-ranking members of Congress have amassed colossal donor networks that provide them unchallengeable job protection, so they routinely recite the same fatigued-filled arguments against establishing term limits. Many of them claim it would result in staff and underlings running government affairs, only that’s largely happening now! Most senators born before 1950 (and there are a disproportionate number of them) struggle with acute memory loss, cognitive decline and other health issues that often accompany most people as they get older. It is highly obscene for our nation to let a potentially vibrant and well-received reform such as term limits for Congress be stifled by members’ refusal to relinquish power. No one is saying that “no one over 60 need apply” to run for Congress. In fact, some elderly members would be very effective in serving in advisory capacities. Nonetheless, the nuts and bolts coupled with the daily demands of an increasingly complex nation and larger world require men and women who possess the energy, vision, technological skills and physical stamina pertinent to effectively deliver such demands Some critics of younger members, such as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Maxwell Frost, argue that they are “too aggressive” or should “wait for their turn” to pursue certain positions. The fact is they are members of the Millennial and Gen Z generations who are being directly affected by the current state of affairs. They are well aware of the fact that the nation is heading in a downward slope, they cannot afford to “wait” and that the “turn” that is needed is a sharp, decibel screeching U-turn.

Cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring), right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) and right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) also were sidelined for the Jets' first full practice of the week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who acknowledged Tuesday he's dealing with “a little MCL” issue in a knee but said “there's no way I'm not playing,” practiced fully. Adams was apparently injured in New York's 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, when he had seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown. Adams, acquired from Las Vegas in October, has 56 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets in nine games for the Jets. He's 72 yards away from his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and sixth of his career. Adams and Rodgers are also tied with Miami's Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third-most TD connections (82), including playoffs, by a quarterback-wide receiver duo. Gardner sat out the second half of the loss to the Rams with the hamstring injury and could miss the game against the Bills. He sat out one game after injuring a hamstring against Seattle in Week 14. It's unclear if the injuries are related. Moses and Vera-Tucker have been playing through their ailments the past several weeks. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, who missed the game last Sunday with a hamstring injury, was limited Thursday at practice, as were left guard John Simpson (calf), defensive end Haason Reddick (neck), safety Tony Adams (ankle), conerback Michael Carter II (back) and rookie defensive lineman Braiden McGregor (ankle).

Creative Diagnostics Announces the Availability of Novel Cyclopiazonic Acid Test Reagents 11-25-2024 08:08 PM CET | Health & Medicine Press release from: ABNewswire Creative Diagnostics announces the release of its Cyclopiazonic Acid Test Reagents. Creative Diagnostics, a leading manufacturer and supplier of antibodies, small molecule conjugates and critical assay reagents for the analysis of food, feed, environmental and toxicological samples, is excited to announce the release of its Cyclopiazonic Acid Test Reagents [ https://www.creative-diagnostics.com/food-analysis/cyclopiazonic-acid.html ] to help ensure food safety. These reagents are designed to support the development of sensitive and specific immunoassays for the detection of this mycotoxin in food and other matrices. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is an indole trichothecene toxin produced by several species of Penicillium, mainly Penicillium camemberti, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium commune, Penicillium viridicatum and Penicillium griseofulvum. Some Aspergillus species, such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae, can also produce CPA. Several authors have identified peanuts as the main source of this toxin, but studies have also shown that the toxin is present in products such as cereals, prosciutto, cheese, fruit and other nuts. CPA is not acutely toxic, with an oral LD50 of 30-70 mg/kg in rodents. The main target of this toxin is the nervous system and it is therefore considered a neurotoxin. Ingestion of CPA results in signs of ataxia and, in extreme cases, death due to spastic paralysis. It can also cause gastrointestinal lesions. The effect of CPA exposure on cells is due to the inhibition of calcium channels in cells. The toxin is a potent and selective inhibitor of calcium ATPase activity. Cyclopiazonic acid appears to be toxic only at high concentrations. The symptoms associated to CPA consumption also include anorexia, dehydration, weight loss, immobility and, in the case of near death, convulsions. Few cases of mycotoxicosis with cyclopiazonic acid have been reported because the poisoning is benign, the amount of toxicity is small, and the effects may be masked by concurrent aflatoxin poisoning (some toxicity data may have been derived from the use of aflatoxin-contaminated CPA). To date, there are no national regulations on CPA levels in food products. Consumption of CPA-contaminated foods can pose health risks and it is therefore essential to monitor food products for the presence of this mycotoxin. Creative Diagnostics' new Cyclopiazonic Acid test reagents are highly sensitive and specific and can be used with a variety of analytical methods including ELISA and LFIA. These reagents, such as Cyclopiazonic Acid Antibodies & Antigens, Cyclopiazonic Acid ELISA Kits, and Cyclopiazonic Acid Screen Tests, are also easy to use and require minimal sample preparation. Creative Diagnostics is committed to providing high-quality research reagents and diagnostic solutions to support the development of new and innovative mycotoxin detection technologies.

Fantasy Football Week 13 Busts: Jared Goff, James Conner, Jerry Jeudy among potential underperformers | Sporting NewsHigh price paid for David Jiricek an acceptable investment for Wild GM Bill GuerinMADRID (AP) — Getafe scored twice in three minutes midway through the second half to beat struggling Valladolid 2-0 and record only its second win in La Liga on Friday. The victory ended Getafe’s five-game winless run and lifted it into 15th place in the 20-team standings.

As the holiday whirlwind surrounds us, we are reminded how much we should be grateful for: no matter which holidays we celebrate, we have numerous opportunities to congregate with friends and family members and to share the holiday spirit, we exchange material and spiritual gifts, we reach out to people we know and even to people we don’t know, to offer our time, compassion, love and support more than in any other part of the year. So why are we not so happy? Why are most people stressed and overwhelmed and the question “Are you ready for the holiday Season?” often sounds more like a disaster preparedness inquiry than an exciting reminder? Scientists and common folk alike offer various explanations. Harvard scientists warn that the holiday season requires us to keep track of additional duties and responsibilities, so the prefrontal portion of our brain goes on “overdrive” with executive decisions we must make. This high demand can cause a decrease in our memory functions, and stress can even stop the production of new brain cells. Harvard scientists recommend self-evaluating how we spend time over the holidays and considering “breaks” from the festivities to slow down this process. Luckily, once the holidays are over and the season’s stress is over, the normal brain function recovers. Additionally, the winter holidays coincide with months when there is less sunlight because the days are shorter. As a result, some people (roughly 6% of the population) develop Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is more prevalent in northern climates but can be experienced in Colorado, as well. Factors connected with financial stress contribute in a major way. The pressure to buy gifts for all “on the list” replaces the joy of giving if comparison and unrealistic expectations replace the sense of enjoying gift exchanges as a traditional activity and a way to bond. The need to take part in family activities challenges those who experience family conflicts. Even the most diplomatic of us feel challenged when we must face family members with strong political, religious, or health beliefs and convictions. This discourages many people from attending family gatherings. This avoidance causes the opposite negative feeling of loneliness. Statistics indicate that 75% of Gen Z-ers and 65% of single adults feel lonelier than their peers. No matter the source of holiday stress, December is undoubtedly the most stressful month. The end of the year is a time for evaluating our year of experiences, for scorekeeping and tallying personal and professional goals, and for focusing on “what could have been better” as we begin to craft New Year’s resolutions. This reflection, mixed with social media and sometimes forced family functions, can bring the weight of the world crashing down on you. So, how can you avoid this? Is it even possible? Of course it is, but it’s up to us. Whenever you are feeling the holiday blues, do something small for you. Brew some coffee or tea, take a moment or two, and drink in this moment. Allowing yourself the time to experience the heat radiating from the cup in your hand, the chill on your face as you look at the window, and the warmth the holiday season brings to our relationships through celebration. Focus on the moment and not on the Season. And don’t forget, if you are seriously depressed or anxious, your mental health provider or the providers at the 988 hotline will be happy to help. Happy Season to all from us at GTI! ______________________________________________________________________________ Jenni Guentcheva, LPC, LAC, NCACII co-founded GTI and leads GoodNeighbor LLC, both treatment centers in the heart of Canon City.

Maharashtra: Dhananjay Munde Meets CM Devendra Fadnavis At Sahyadri Guest House, Demands Death Penalty For Beed Sarpanch's KillersArkansas receiver Andrew Armstrong said Tuesday that he is entering the NFL Draft. Later in the day, a school spokesman told reporters that Armstrong will skip the Razorbacks' bowl game. The destination isn't yet known. Armstrong led the Southeastern Conference in both receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,140) but caught just one touchdown in 11 games this season. His catches and yardage were both second-most in Arkansas history behind Cobi Hamilton, who had 90 receptions for 1,335 yards in 2012. "It's been a journey for the books and I wouldn't trade it for anything because it has made me into the man I am today," Armstrong said of his Razorbacks tenure in a social media post. "... I will never forget all the moments that were shared here in Fayetteville." Armstrong played two seasons at Texas A&M-Commerce before transferring to Arkansas ahead of the 2023 season. In two seasons with the Razorbacks, he caught 134 passes for 1,904 yards and six scores. --Field Level MediaPresident-elect Donald Trump has pledged to extend his signature Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a 2017 law that revised the tax code and provided some sweet breaks to favored constituents. Many of those provisions are set to expire at the end of 2025 and, given the GOP’s control of Congress and the White House, the pressure will be on to act fast. Failure to extend the measures would mean increases for most taxpayers in 2026, and they would have no one to blame but Trump & Co. During his campaign, the president-elect teased additional giveaways, vowing to eliminate taxes on tips, which doesn’t make much sense, as well as Social Security income. Apparently, all kinds of ideas are on the table, which makes the complex job of rewriting tax law even more challenging. Throughout the 2000s, the U.S. has lived far beyond its means, as both major parties embraced deficit spending. Extending the Trump tax cuts will jack up the deficit by something like $5 trillion through fiscal 2035. Sweetening the pot with additional goodies would add still more to the tab. We send our best wishes to the much-ballyhooed Department of Government Efficiency, to be run by tech bosses Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. We’re all for eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. But given governmental instincts for self-preservation, experience teaches us to keep expectations modest. That leaves the national debt at $36 trillion and counting, threatening to increase inflation, raise interest rates, weaken the dollar and reduce the government’s capacity to make strategic investments. It’s disappointing to see the GOP , which always claimed to be the party of fiscal discipline when Democrats were in power, freeze out its deficit hawks when it controls the nation’s wallet. Trump has nominated some smart people for his economic team, including Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary, and we’re hopeful that grown-up thinking will prevail. Other Trump nominees could work against that, however. Consider Billy Long, a former GOP congressman from Missouri, whom Trump has proposed to head the Internal Revenue Service. The colorful Long is a professional auctioneer who went into business peddling a fraud-plagued tax credit after leaving public office. During his tenure, he joined other opportunists in scoring cheap political points by demonizing the IRS and pushing attention-getting tax ideas, evidently for effect . Exhibit A is Long’s effort to scrap the federal tax code, and the IRS along with it, while replacing the lost revenue with a regressive national sales tax. That would raise the cost of goods and services by anywhere from 30 to 44 cents for every dollar spent. It doesn’t take a political genius to recognize that raising the cost of a $1 item to as much as $1.44 would never work. Yet Long pushed for it, and now this unserious nominee is in line to run one of the most serious government agencies. Rather than promising to tear down the IRS for the sake of sound bites, the GOP needs to get real about change. This agency that everyone loves to hate will be crucial to carrying out its tax plan in 2025 and beyond. And, as Bessent and some of the better Trump nominees surely recognize, the GOP has a precious opportunity to bring about reform, if its more credible leaders are willing to put in the work instead of voicing fantasies about eliminating essential government services. The complexity of the federal tax code imposes an estimated $546 billion in annual costs on the U.S. economy, including billions of hours in lost productivity and out-of-pocket compliance costs, according to the center-right Tax Foundation. ... If the incoming Trump administration wants its tax-change plans to be carried out effectively, it should retire its anti-IRS rhetoric and give the agency the tools it needs to get the job done. After all, it’s a matter of following the law.
