The suspects stopped their car in the middle of Ridgeway Street, stepped out, and walked a few steps before discharging seven rounds.

Every breath we take is often taken for granted. But for the 3.8 million Americans living with emphysema, each shortened breath, cough and wheeze is a reminder of this devastating lung disease. End-stage emphysema, or stage 4 emphysema, can mean living with a decade or more of breathing problems, tiredness, heart problems or other health concerns that impact your ability to live your life to your fullest. Because emphysema, like other forms of COPD, reduces the amount of oxygen that can reach your bloodstream, the heart works harder to spread oxygen throughout the body. A person with severe emphysema may get tired easily, may have chest pains or palpitations, or experience headaches, sleep problems, and irritability. “There is no cure for emphysema or COPD, but our goal is to help slow the progression of the disease,” said Faisal Khan, MD, a Greenwood pulmonologist who practices at Franciscan Health Indianapolis.

Lawmakers in New Jersey are currently considering the future plans for the PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) program for Atlantic City casinos. The program, which started in 2016 and was scheduled to end in 2026, had the assignment to stabilize AC finances through fixed annual payments for casinos. This method, instead of a variable property tax, was designed to provide revenue that was easily predictable in place of fluctuating property tax. PILOT was amended in 2021 due to the changes that arrived with the COVID-19 pandemic. The danger of closing due to lockdowns on public spaces put a lot of gambling venues at risk. However, a decision has been made to put online gambling and sports betting revenue outside of the GGR (gross gaming revenue). Many of the casinos used the opportunity to survive with a stronger online presence. Mobile apps became the prime way to enjoy slots, table...

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor They are getting ready now, wondering if the race will bring prize money, glory to their dogs, or just some quiet laughter from the other mushers. The Iditarod Trail. It has come to mean “The Trail” to dog mushers and kennel owners all over the state of Alaska and in a lot of other places. There are other long distance dogsled races now. We know that. But the Iditarod started all that “long, cold camping trip” stuff. And I was lucky to be a part of that very first Iditarod in March of 1973. Strangely enough, each musher has a list of life-saving equipment and food on that sled. Unfortunately, when they check a musher’s lungs and heart, they forget to test the brain. The race would probably be run quicker and more efficiently, but it undoubtedly wouldn’t be as much fun. In my...

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew and Congresswoman Dean (PA-4), joined by a bipartisan group of colleagues, reintroduced the Stopping Harmful Image Exploitation and Limiting Distribution (SHIELD) Act. This critical bill addresses the growing threat of online exploitation by strengthening existing laws to hold offenders accountable for image-based attacks. "As technology advances, so do the ways in which bad actors exploit children and vulnerable adults," said Congressman Van Drew (NJ-02). "Predators are using intimate images as weapons, threatening to share them without consent and taking advantage of their victims' fear. Our current laws have not kept pace with these evolving threats, allowing perpetrators to escape justice far too often. The SHIELD Act will strengthen our existing laws, ensuring those who exploit others for personal gain are held responsible for their actions." "Sharing someone else's private images online, without consent, is predatory behavior that causes grave reputational, psychological, and social...
