One Year Ago Today (November 26, 2023)…The Los Angeles Times has taken legal action against the city of Los Angeles to obtain records of alleged sexual harassment and other misconduct by Los Angeles Fire Department members that the newspaper maintains is being wrongfully withheld. The Times’ Los Angeles Superior Court petition cites the California Public Records Act in asking a judge to order the release of all non-exempt documents requested. A representative for the City Attorney’s Office did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the petition brought Monday. “Under a body of law that goes back almost 45 years, public agencies, including the city, must disclose government records reflecting well-founded allegations of misconduct against public employees,” the petition states. The LAFD’s alleged denial of the employee misconduct records violates the CPRA and improperly prevents The Times and the public from understanding how the LAFD investigates complaints against employees and imposes discipline, according to the petition.
Beneficiaries who are overweight would not be eligible unless they have another condition such as diabetes that qualifies for weight-loss drugs. While the rules were written for the Medicare program, which covers older Americans, the new interpretation of weight-loss drugs also applies to Medicaid, which covers low-income Americans. Unlike Kennedy, the longtime TV personality has repeatedly praised weight-loss drugs. Experts credited the use of weight-loss drugs for the slight decline. Those drugs have been gaining popularity, and lawmakers have pushed to expand federal coverage for the treatments.
Share LinkedIn Pin EmailJohn Katsilometes/Las Vegas Review-Journal/TNSAdele is sending her love to Las Vegas as she finishes out her more than two-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The “Hello” singer, 36, launched her “Weekends With Adele” residency in November 2022 after a controversial last-minute postponement — which she initially attributed to “delivery delays and COVID” but later said was due to her “artistic needs” not being met — and has since extended the run twice. Closing out her 100th and final show Saturday, she expressed her gratitude for her Vegas gig despite its “rocky” start.”“I’m so sad this residency is over but I am so glad that it happened,” Adele said in footage posted on YouTube, adding that her initial postponement in 2022 came during “one of the worst years of my life.”“Had I done that show that I canceled,” she said, she “wouldn’t be standing here tonight.”Adele went on to thank her fans for traveling to Vegas to see her show, her partner Rich Paul for encouraging her when she felt depleted, and the Colosseum “for giving me that second chance.”“Weekends With Adele,” the 16-time Grammy winner said, was “just what I needed for this season of my life.” Most importantly, opting for a residency rather than a world tour after the release of her 2021 album “30” has allowed her to spend weekends with her son Angelo and to “keep his life normal.”“I will miss it terribly, I will miss you terribly. I don’t know when I next want to perform again,” Adele said. But even though the singer doesn’t have any concrete plans to return to the stage, she reassured fans, “Of course I’ll be back, the only thing I’m good at is singing.”More from CafeMom: Adele Collapses During Show & Says Team ‘Picked My Whole Body Up Off the Floor’

Walmart Withdraws From Diversity Initiatives Amid Conservative Backlash The retail giant rolls back DEI policies following pressure from conservative activists and recent legal challengesWalmart, the world’s largest retailer, has made headlines by rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, becoming one of the most significant corporations to do so amid increasing conservative scrutiny. This move has sparked debates about the future of corporate diversity efforts, especially following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action. Alongside these changes, Walmart stated it aims to monitor its online marketplace, becoming more vigilant about products it claims might be inappropriate for minors. A group of Democrats recently urged Fortune 1000 companies to maintain their DEI initiatives, emphasizing their importance for fostering opportunities for historically excluded individuals. Only time will tell where this corporate tug-of-war leads, as both proponents and opponents of DEI initiatives stand firm on their respective positions.
In the middle of the night after the election, one of our students dashed off an email, panicking about the future of American democracy. But the institutional framework of the United States is firm and resilient. This is unlikely to happen in the United States. The key takeaway from our comparative research is this: There are indeed choppy waters ahead for American democracy. But we are confident that the United States is a strong ship that even an unhinged captain cannot run aground.

A lot of time and energy goes into preparing Thanksgiving dinner, so it’s important to ensure that your meal isn’t ruined by potentially contaminated food. Below are three recalled foods to know about ahead of the holiday. Organic carrotsThe FDA announced a voluntary recall of organic carrots by Grimmway Farms in California pending an investigation of an E.coli outbreak. BRINE YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY IN THIS FOR GOLDEN SKINThe recall includes multiple sizes and brands of bagged organic whole and baby carrots. "Consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers and should not eat recalled bagged organic whole or baby carrots," the FDA wrote in the notice.
Of course the line everyone wants to hear/read about is the top line, which had Connor Bedard back at center between Taylor Hall and Philipp Kurashev. I think the assumption based on the lines is that Dickinson will be on the third line between Nick Foligno and Joey Anderson. This line absolutely fascinates me because they’ve spent a whopping 79 seconds of 5-on-5 ice time together thus far this season. I’ll note that Thompson shares an agent with current Blackhawks Craig Smith and Frank Nazar. Blackhawks forward prospect Aidan Thompson is on a 14-game points streak and is second in college hockey in points and third in goals.

Later, when I was growing up in the ’70s, I had two aunts: Aunt Carol and Aunt Patty.
