(Korean Central News Agency) North Korea tests cruise missile system, vows ‘toughest’ response to U.S.-South Korea military drills; last Afghan special immigrant via applicants at Rhine Ordnance Barracks depart; and 80th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation was marked Monday 1. North Korea said Sunday it tested a cruise missile system, its third known weapons display this year, and vowed “the toughest” response to what it called the escalation of U.S.-South Korean military drills that target the North. The moves suggested North Korea will likely maintain its run of weapons tests and its confrontational stance against the U.S. for now, even though President Donald Trump said he intends to reach out to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The official Korean Central News Agency said Kim observed the test of sea-to-surface strategic cruise guided weapons on Saturday. 2.

In 1965, The U.S. Army put together Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol platoons. Their purpose was to out guerrilla the "guerrillas" AMERICAN HEROES—In a gripping special episode of Defense News Weekly, veterans of the Army's Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrols in Vietnam recount their intense and often harrowing experiences during a conflict. These brave individuals, part of the elite Special Forces unit known as the "Shadows in the Jungle," undertook perilous missions in Vietnam's treacherous and dense landscapes. Astonishingly, many of these soldiers were merely teenagers, ranging in age from 17 to 21, embodying a level of bravery and resilience that pushed the boundaries of human endurance. The units consisted of small teams of six expertly trained soldiers, each one equipped to navigate the unforgiving terrain and operate behind enemy lines for an entire week at a time. In their clandestine operations, they often found themselves perilously close to enemy encampments, where even... Read more →

GUEST OPINION by Special to the New Jersey Monitor, New Jersey Monitor January 27, 2025 By Hannah Waldfogel This article was produced in partnership with Behavioral Scientist. Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? – George Carlin New Jersey has endless claims to fame. It was the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights. Per square mile, it has more diners, horses, and people than any other state. It’s home to the world’s longest boardwalk, largest water tower, and is the birthplace of America’s sweetheart, Danny DeVito. New Jersey also has the most traffic congestion of any state, some of the worst roads, and is the most dangerous place for pedestrians. Nearly 30 percent of all fatal accidents in NJ in 2024 involved pedestrians, compared to the national average of 17.3 percent. Some of... Read more →

SAY ICE raid in Newark as ‘chilling,’ ‘cruel’ by Sophie Nieto-Munoz, New Jersey Monitor January 24, 2025 Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz took to the podium in Newark City Hall Friday, hours after immigration enforcement officials shocked the city in a job site raid — and urged the packed room of residents, immigrant advocates, and reporters to pray. “I’m afraid, and maybe, I’m tired, emotional. I don’t want to be here as the senate majority leader — I’m here as a mother, as a Newarker, as a first-generation Puerto Rican born here,” said Ruiz, her voice breaking. Ruiz (D-Essex) was one of dozens of elected officials and activists who spoke at a news conference in Newark to denounce the Thursday raid that led ICE agents to detain several undocumented workers and U.S. citizens, including a military veteran. Throughout the hour-long meeting, they described the agents’ actions as “chilling,” “cruel,” and... Read more →

Advocate Shares Valuable Insights for Navigating Complex Medical System ESSEX JUNCTION, VT, Jan. 21, 2025 — Advocate, artist and author Linda Moran wants to bring about change in the world by empowering others to advocate for better healthcare for themselves and their loved ones. “I need to get the word out that you have choices, and they’re your choices — they’re not your doctor’s choices,” Moran said. When her husband’s health began its serious decline after open heart surgery, she was prepared to support him through a challenging recovery that included a stroke and speech aphasia. But as Dean pinballed from one medical crisis to another, the couple encountered unexpected obstacles completely beyond their control, including a network of doctors that gave them contradictory care instructions and left them feeling woefully uninformed.

By Thomas Ryan This Congress is inheriting a healthcare disaster. Across America, companies that provide vital medical equipment to Medicare patients in their homes are drastically cutting services -- or shutting their doors completely. Without action, millions of seniors could lose access to oxygen tanks, wheelchairs, and other essential equipment that keeps them healthy at home. At the start of 2024, Medicare slashed payments for a major segment of home medical equipment providers by 20%. These rates -- already too low before this year's cuts -- now fall catastrophically short of market realities. A perfect storm of supply chain disruptions, rising fuel costs for equipment delivery and service calls, and a nationwide shortage of trained technicians has sent operating costs soaring. Other payers -- including private Medicare Advantage plans, commercial insurers, and Medicaid -- have followed Medicare and cut their rates as well. For hundreds of small businesses that provide...

by Kristian Hernández, Center for Public Integrity April 2, 2024 I started reporting on missing migrant children four years ago, almost by accident. I was trekking up a steep muddy road in the northern highlands of Guatemala, looking for the mother of a 16-year-old who drowned in the Rio Grande, when a man outside a small chapel greeted my fixer and me. The man waved and asked if we needed help. We stopped for a minute to catch our breath. Half panting, I shared with the stranger that I was investigating a story for the Center for Public Integrity about migrants who died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The man, a local pastor, looked out over a vast valley and said there had been many cases there involving migrants who crossed into the U.S. and were never heard from again. Most, like the boy I was reporting on, were children who... Read more →

“In Africa, the tradition is when your elder tells you to do something you don't ask questions. You just follow whatever they tell you and you say OK,” Adamma explained. “Adamma” remembers the day she landed in the United States after being taken from her native country of Togo: “It was January 25, 2006, at 3:55 (p.m.). That was the worst day of my life.” Having landed in Detroit in the middle of winter, Adamma and the three other children from Togo she traveled with were not prepared: “We didn’t have boots or coats. It was so cold. No one really told us we should have all these prior to coming,” she said. What she also wasn’t prepared for was the physical and emotional abuse, the extreme rationing of food and the isolation. Adamma left Togo for the U.S. with little information as to why she was going.

I am reaching out personally about the ongoing problems with Atlantic City Electric (ACE) utility billing. I know how frustrating this situation has been, and I want you to know that I am fully committed to helping however I can. To be clear, utility regulation falls under the state government's responsibility. The Governor and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) should have stepped up to fix this by now. Unfortunately, no meaningful action, whether through legislation or regulation, has been taken at the state level to address the problem. That said, I am not the kind of elected official to pass this off just because it is not a federal issue. My office is working with the Federal Energy and Regulatory Commission (FERC) to push for solutions, even though this is a state issue at its core. I am also reintroducing federal legislation to help prevent these kinds... Read more →

Right now, there are enough offshore wind projects in development in the United States to power over six million homes once completed. Currently in New Jersey, our state has been leading the way towards a responsible transition to clean energy and the creation of the offshore wind industry. Governor Murphy established goals to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035, which would include 11,000 MW of responsibly developed offshore wind power by 2040. Additionally, our state is home to the New Jersey Wind Port, a first-of-its-kind facility that would employ hundreds of New Jerseyans in South Jersey. The first wind project expected to become operable off of New Jersey’s coast is the Atlantic Shores... Read more →

Newswise — ROCHESTER, Minnesota — Throat cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers, and it is often linked to human papillomavirus (HPV). Oropharyngeal cancer, or throat cancer, is a type of head and neck cancer that can be divided into two subgroups: HPV-associated cancers and non-HPV-associated cancers. And depending on the type of subgroup, they are treated differently.  Katharine Price, M.D., a medical oncologist with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center in Rochester, says there are three ways to reduce your risks and help prevent head and neck cancer. Tobacco and alcohol use increase the risk of non-HPV tumors, while HPV is responsible for about 70% of head and neck cancers. "What's important about that is they have different biology and are much more treatable, meaning they respond better to treatments and tend to have a higher cure rate. We're sort of treating those differently than how we treat some... Read more →
