NoneNEW YORK , Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Council for Autism Service Providers (CASP) honored ABA Centers, the nation's fastest growing autism care provider, by partnering to ring the iconic Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange together. Lorri Unumb , Chief Executive Officer of CASP; Christopher Barnett , Founder & Chairman of ABA Centers; and his daughter, Madison Mulvey , were the official bell ringers during the 1 pm ceremony, marking an early close of the markets in preparation for the upcoming Christmas holiday. ABA Centers was founded as a testament to a father's love for his daughter, sparked from Mr. Barnett's personal experience attempting to acquire a diagnosis and then quality care for his own child, Ms. Mulvey, who spent years dealing with a misdiagnosis and missing out on the proper treatment that she desperately needed. What Mr. Barnett experienced as the parent of a child on the spectrum – the inadequacies, the lack of services available, and the long wait lists within the autism care system – were simply unacceptable. As a longtime healthcare entrepreneur, Mr. Barnett recognized that he already harnessed the infrastructure to effectuate real change within the autism care industry, so he set out to create a mission-driven organization, where every employee throughout the corporate and clinical teams is dedicated to making a lasting impact in the lives of autistic children and their families. "I hope that the sound waves of this bell ringing transcend the trading floor and serve as a rally call for quick, compassionate, and top quality autism care across our country," remarked Mr. Barnett. "Seeing CASP and ABA Centers on the New York Stock Exchange podium should encourage other decision makers and deal makers alike to find ways in which they can positively impact the autism care industry further because there are millions of children currently languishing on wait lists and missing out on the autism care that they deserve during the most crucial times." In 2024, ABA Centers achieved the following monumental milestones, which served to amplify its commitment to providing every kid in the country with world class autism care: "For mission-driven organizations like CASP and ABA Centers, this bell ringing ceremony offers a platform to amplify our message and highlight the importance of autism care, as well as the challenges faced by the autism community, to a robust and influential audience," stated Mrs. Unumb. Mrs. Unumb and Mr. Barnett were joined on the bell ringing podium by the C-suite of ABA Centers: Jason Barker ; Joseph Heilner ; Kristy Johnson ; Quatiba Davis; Michael Holohan ; Michael Holzum ; Michael Holzum, Jr. ; and Ted Bender ; members of The Christopher M. Barnett Family Foundation: Julie Barnett , Kaitlyn Mulvey , Madison Mulvey , and Kennedy Mulvey ; and Dan Unumb of the Autism Legal Resource Center.

Festival of Lights begins tomorrow to celebrate Hanukkah

A southwest Lincoln in-home day care is being investigated after a 5-month-old baby boy was found not breathing last week, according to court documents. On Nov. 25, at about 2:40 p.m., the Lincoln Police Department and Lincoln Fire and Rescue were sent to a day care near Southwest 14th and West Washington streets on reports of a 5-month-old baby not breathing, according to a search warrant affidavit. The 54-year-old owner of the day care, which the Journal Star is not naming because the owner has not been charged with any crime, watches seven children, including the boy. Police say the owner's routine is to put the children down for a nap around 1 p.m.; after the nap, she wakes the children up and takes them outside or lets them stay in the home's heated garage to play. According to court documents, the 5-month-old was set down in a pack-and-play at the usual nap time with only the baby inside. People are also reading... The owner told police the baby took about an hour and a half nap before she attempted to wake him up. She told officers something seemed strange with the baby's eyes before proceeding to call 911. Police arrived and saw the owner and her husband performing CPR on the baby before the boy was transported to Bryan West Campus, where he was declared dead at around 3:30 p.m. The owner is believed to be the last person to see the 5-month-old alive. The child's mother told police the baby came home from day care earlier in November with a head injury, which was explained by the 54-year-old owner as being caused by another child hitting the baby with a toy. Officers attempted to collect video footage from the day care, but the owner did not consent. Police are requesting video footage, bottles and feeding supplies used by the 5-month-old baby to be seized. An autopsy was performed on the child on Nov. 26; the cause of death was labeled undetermined in the coroner's report. The investigation is ongoing.

The speaker of that forum did not believe that Trump would win. My social anthropologist seatmate at the forum whispered to me, “She is wrong. Trump will win.” I asked her why she believed this and she simply explained that the period we are in is the cycle of populists and dictators. She also added that I should not worry too much though as the political pendulum will eventually swing back. I asked when this would happen and what will make it happen. She told me that a global upheaval would bring this about just like World War II did. That was in 2016, and eight years later, Trump is back in the White House, adding another populist government in a still growing list. Extreme climate events have been increasing in number in different parts of the globe, wars rage in different regions with the Russia-Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine wars being seen as likely sparks of a global conflagration, and inequality gaps have continued to worsen with more and more people and children hungry, being homeless, and with inadequate access to quality education and clean water. Methinks that the pendulum will have enough reason to swing back soon, but will we even survive the coming upheaval? Will there be enough to rebuild on? Will it not be too late to do anything about the climate crisis? Will many countries be stuck with demographic time bombs of malnourished and stunted huge numbers of people and even entire communities whose productivity for family and society is totally compromised? The story in the Philippines seems to be perfectly aligned with this age of the populists and the many ways by which we are all choosing the path toward the precipice. So, folks, we are not in an “only in the Philippines” scenario. Much of the bad and fake news we contend with every day and the sad plight of ever growing numbers of people, communities, and children exist in all regions of the world today. The corruption? It is insidious in most governments and only varies in levels of greed. You would think there was an ongoing global competition on who could wipe out their national coffers fastest. Is humanity shackled to this cycle of destruction and rebuilding? Is the pendulum a given and does the swing to one side always need to be a swing to the edge of an abyss? I have had the privilege of continuing to work with business, political, and socio-civic leaders who remain believers in a better Philippines and ultimately, a better world. Many of them are now among our elderly, as sharp as ever and as committed as ever but they know only too well that the clock ticks and they will probably not see the dawn when a nation for our children arises once again, offering food, freedom, jobs, and justice for all as the late statesman Ka Jose Diokno dreamed of. I have been in this mission since my high school days in Tulong Dunong, and at 58 years old, I know that the war may not be won before I take my leave. But there are battles to fight. And fights we all must continue to do simply because some battles can still be won, moving us away from the abyss. This is why in the business sector, there now are aggressive advocacies for business as a force for good, for shared prosperity, and inclusive capitalism. While there are those who may scoff at these efforts, believe me when I say that since moving to the private sector in 1997, these initiatives have come a long way from philanthropic giving and corporate sponsorships, advancing toward genuine programs in partnership with other key sectors. As Philippine Investment Management (Phinma) chair and Makati Business Club (MBC) trustee Ramon R. del Rosario noted at the recent UNIAPAC World Congress in Manila, addressing Christian business leaders from many parts of the globe: “In the Philippines, we have a beautiful tradition called bayanihan. It refers to the spirit of communal unity, work, and cooperation to achieve a shared goal ... I believe that this spirit of bayanihan, of collective action for the common good, is more relevant today than ever before. In the face of the enormous challenges we face, we need a modern-day bayanihan, a coming together of businesses, government, civil society, and communities to lift up those who have been left behind.” How do we show our social anthropologist friend alternative ways to swing the pendulum back? More on that in my next columns and through the battles we intend to fight together with the Makati Business Club and the Management Association of the Philippines, with academe and its institutions like the Phinma-DLSU Center for Business & Society; with groups like PBSP, PBEd, Caritas, Tanging Yaman and Oxfam; with the young movers of Siklab and TAYO awards programs; and with our partner communities and their leaders. Why not join the fight? —————- Peter Angelo V.

In own words, his second term will be “nasty a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning in particular”. Unlike his surprise win in 2016, when the Republicans’ preparations for America’s highest office were chaotic and marred by infighting, the 78-year-old has a for what he will do once . His “day one” agenda involves rapid and aggressive action to target illegal immigration, a purge of the federal government and a grievance-filled agenda to pursue opponents. has pledged to dramatically in the US with the assistance of local law enforcement and state police. He has even signalled he has “no problem” deploying the military and national guard troops to aid the effort. There are potential constitutional issues with mobilising service members on domestic soil, but Trump has floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act to give him the power required to direct troops, describing the border crisis as an “invasion”. Central to his plan for cutting down the number of people living in the country illegally is his proposal to launch the “largest deportation programme in history”. It would aim to remove the estimated 11 million people residing in the US without legal status. Trump’s team has provided few details on how they would identify these individuals, or how they would fund the operation. The Republican has suggested using the Alien Enemies Act – a rarely applied legal power dating back to 1798 and last used for the Japanese-American internment camps – to detain immigrants without a hearing. The round-up and mass deportation flights operation would cost more $88 billion (£68.4 billion) for one million people, or a total of $968 billion for all 11 million, according to a report by research firm the American Immigration Council. Stephen Miller, Trump’s former immigration tsar and senior adviser, has outlined plans to construct detention facilities capable of holding 50,000 to 70,000 people as an interim solution. The cost of detaining migrants en masse would be higher still, not to mention the economic cost of lost labour for American businesses. Trump’s team has argued the expense “pales in comparison” to the burden on the state for processing, housing and providing social services to migrants who have recently entered the US. in Congress will look to fund a substantial , which would include completion of his signature wall. His immigration policy includes a vow to reinstate his so-called “Muslim travel ban” that barred people from several Muslim-majority countries. He said earlier this year: “We will seal our border and bring back the travel ban. “Remember the famous travel ban? We didn’t take people from certain areas of the world,” he said, adding that it would be extended to include refugees from Gaza. “We’re not taking them from infested countries.” Trump has also vowed to challenge the principle of birthright citizenship, which under the 14th Amendment, grants automatic citizenship to the children of immigrants. Trump’s plans to test the power of the presidency beyond any modern precedent extend to a of the government. He plans to use sweeping executive orders to replace thousands of career civil servants with political appointees who have been vetted to ensure they subscribe to his political ideology. This would be done by reviving a 2020 executive order, known as Schedule F, which would strip federal employees of their job protection. It could impact as many as 50,000 civil servants. Swathes of the department of justice (DoJ), including much of the FBI, would be done away with, while the department of education would be abolished. A top priority for a second Trump White House and his GOP allies in Congress is to extend his signature legislative achievement: . As things stand, the legislation – the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – is set to expire at the end of 2025. Trump has also proposed widespread changes to taxation, including extending the child tax credit, bringing back the deduction for state and local taxes (Salt) and cutting companies’ corporate tax rate for domestic production. He has also promoted exemptions to income tax, such as ending taxes on social security and tipped wages, and said he backed a total end to income tax, although he has given no firm commitment to doing so. Trump has summarised his energy policy with the catchphrase “drill, baby, drill”. It involves a widespread resumption in oil and gas licensing and halting offshore wind energy projects, which he claims “kill” whales and birds, “on day one” in the White House. Trump has also vowed to end green tax credits and subsidies. Trump plans to dramatically ramp up the protectionist trade policies of his first term, threatening a tariff of more than 10 per cent on all foreign imports. Tariffs on Chinese imports could be as high as 100 per cent. Mexico and Canada will face a 25 per cent tariff. He said he believed it would redress a trade imbalance and unfair practices by other countries who were “stealing” the US’s jobs and wealth. Trump said China was the leading culprit, but described India, Brazil, France and other European nations as “very difficult to deal with on trade”. He dismissed suggestions that the policies , framing it as “reciprocal” action that would return jobs to the US. The president-elect has pledged to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming in from Canada and Mexico. For Trump, one of the most alluring powers of the presidency is its oversight of the department of justice. Seizing control of the department, and stocking it full of his allies, will be vital to both his personal and political agenda. The four-times indicted president-elect will take office as a defendant in two federal criminal cases brought by the prosecutor Jack Smith. The independent special counsel has been pursuing Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and accusations he mishandled classified documents. Mr Smith has announced that he has dropped all federal charges against the president-elect. In the run-up to the presidential election, Trump told the radio host Hugh Hewitt that if he regained the White House, he would fire Mr Smith “within two seconds”. The DoJ’s tradition of political independence has been a hallmark of the post-Watergate era, but Trump predicted to Hewitt that he would not face any repercussions for intervening. “I don’t think they’ll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith,” he said. Trump has also pledged to exercise control over the DoJ by securing the pardon or release of convicted rioters serving sentences for their roles in the Jan 6 2021 attack on the Capitol. Trump has not ruled out instructing federal prosecutors to instigate legal proceedings against or fire . “It would depend on the situation,” he said. Asked whether he would go after Joe Biden and his family, the Republican said he would be “inclined not to do it”. But he later added: “Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes, because he’s committed many crimes,” without specifying exactly what these were. He would do away with “Title lX” protections for transgender students, protecting them from discrimination. “We’re going to end it on Day 1,” he said in May. “Don’t forget, that was done as an order from the president. That came down as an executive order. And we’re going to change it — on Day 1 it’s going to be changed.” He has also pledged to cut federal funding from any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children”. The president-elect, via his press secretary, has said he would bring both sides together “on day one” to settle the conflict.Agilent Technologies Inc. stock rises Monday, outperforms marketStudio City Enters into Senior Facilities Agreement

In the current market session, L3Harris Technologies Inc. LHX share price is at $213.79, after a 0.22% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 13.18% , but in the past year, went up by 1.51% . Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. Comparing L3Harris Technologies P/E Against Its Peers The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. L3Harris Technologies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 71.42 of the Aerospace & Defense industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. © 2024 Benzinga.com.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson might be weary of all the safeties shadowing his every route, determined not to let the Minnesota Vikings go deep, but he's hardly angry. The double and triple coverage he continually faces, after all, is a sign of immense respect for his game-breaking ability. The strategy also simply makes sense. “I would do the same," Jefferson said. "It’s either let everybody else go off or let Justin go off. I’m going to let everybody else go off. That would be my game plan.” When the Vikings visit Chicago on Sunday, they're expecting the usual heavy dose of split-safety coverage designed to put a lid on the passing attack and force them to operate primarily underneath. “We see that every week: Teams just have different tendencies on film, and then when we go out on the field they play us totally different,” Jefferson said, later adding: “I don’t really feel like anyone else is getting played how I’m getting played.” Jefferson nonetheless is second in the NFL in receiving yards (912) behind Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase, his former college teammate at LSU. Last week, Jefferson set yet another all-time record by passing Torry Holt for the most receiving yards over the first five seasons of a career. Holt logged 80 regular-season games and accumulated 6,784 yards for St. Louis. Jefferson has 6,811 yards — in just 70 games. “I want to go up against those single coverages. I want to go have my opportunities to catch a deep pass downfield, just one-on-one coverage, like a lot of these other receivers get," Jefferson said. "It’s definitely difficult going up against an extra person or an extra two people, but it is what it is and the concepts that we’re drawing up and the ways that we’re trying to get me open, it definitely helps.” With fellow tight end Josh Oliver ruled out of the game on Sunday because of a sprained ankle, T.J. Hockenson is certain to have his heaviest workload since returning from knee surgery four weeks ago. He's also certain that Jefferson will continue to see persistent double-teams. “It puts it on us to make some plays and do some things to get them out of that,” Hockenson said. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has been forced to dig deeper into the vault of play designs and game plans to help keep quarterback Sam Darnold and the offense on track. O'Connell said after Minnesota's 12-7 win at Jacksonville, when Darnold threw three interceptions to precipitate a safer strategy down the stretch, that he superseded his play-calling role with the wisdom of a head coach to help win that game. "Not just the egomaniac of wanting to score points and constantly show everybody how smart we are. There was a mode that I think you have to go into sometimes to ensure a victory,” O'Connell said on his weekly show on KFAN radio. Taking what the defense gives is usually the shrewdest strategy. “You’ve got to really implement some new things and some things that maybe you didn’t come across during your early coaching years whether as a coordinator or position coach or even when you’re responsible for a small area of the game plan as a younger coach," O'Connell said. "You really have to kind of look outside the lens of always what you see on tape.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLBypassing scrutiny or getting things done?
