Eagles' Shane Steichen likely to be named next Colts head coach after Super Bowl LVII: report

February 13, 2023 Published by Fox News

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen has reportedly emerged as the likely next head coach of the Colts.

Steichen and the Colts still reportedly need to finalize some details, but a contract cannot be agreed upon until after Super Bowl LVII on Sunday. Indianapolis has informed other finalists that they are no longer being considered for the job, according to ESPN.

Just a few years ago, Philly hired former Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni to be their head coach.

Sirianni has credited Frank Reich as one of the coaches who have had the biggest impact on him during their time together in Indy.

EAGLES’ OWNER JEFFREY LURIE CALLS DECISION TO PART WAYS WITH ANDY REID OVER A DECADE AGO ‘EXTREMELY DIFFICULT’

Reich was the star assistant coach during the Eagles’ run to the Super Bowl in 2017. He took the reins as the Colts‘ head coach in 2018.

He was fired after a Week 9 loss to the Patriots and a 3-5-1 start to the season. Team owner Jim Irsay decided to replace Reich with Jeff Saturday on an interim basis. Saturday was once considered a strong candidate for the full-time job.

If Steichen and the Colts reach a deal, the Eagles would be expected to have his replacement already on their coaching staff, according to sources.

The Eagles would likely elevate quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson to the offensive coordinator role should Steichen finalize the deal.

Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have also completed interviews with Arizona.

Under the 37-year-old Steichen, the Eagles offense finished the season third in yards per game and scoring average. Six players on the offensive side of the ball were named to the Pro Bowl.

Anhydrous ammonia leak prompts shelter-in-place order in parts of Harris County, Texas

February 13, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

A shelter-in-place order has been lifted that was in effect for some Harris County, Texas, residents after an anhydrous ammonia leak Sunday, according to Harris County Public Health Department.

The leak at a warehouse in Katy led authorities to ask nearby residents to stay indoors Sunday morning because of health risks.

“If anyone is experiencing watery eyes, burning eyes, irritation of the nose or throat, difficulty breathing, we are asking that you proceed to the nearest emergency center to seek care,” Dr. Ericka Brown, director of Harris County Public Health’s community health and wellness division, said earlier Sunday.

The county health department tweeted the areas affected by the shelter-in-place advisory.

Anhydrous ammonia is a pungent gas with suffocating fumes that is used as a fertilizer, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Anhydrous means “without water.” If anhydrous ammonia combines with water in the human body, it can cause rapid dehydration and severe burns.

“There is no antidote for ammonia toxicity,” the CDC’s website says.

Symptoms of anhydrous ammonia exposure include breathing difficulty; irritation of the eyes, nose or throat; burns or blisters.

Those who get anhydrous ammonia in the eyes should wash the eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.

Exposure to high concentrations of anhydrous ammonia can lead to death.

As of Sunday morning, no injuries had been reported in connection with the leak, the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office tweeted.

The cause of the leak was not immediately clear.

CNN has reached out to the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office, the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office for more information.

FAA abruptly cancels 'national defense airspace' over Lake Michigan after reporting 'potential contact'

February 13, 2023 Published by Fox News

The Federal Aviation Administration has abruptly canceled a “national defense airspace” over part of Lake Michigan, the organization announced Sunday.

The FAA says it closed down the area to allow the U.S. military to examine a “potential contact” that was soon determined to not be a threat. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.

“Pilots who do not adhere to the following [procedure] may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by law enforcement or security personnel,” the FAA wrote in an initial Sunday announcement, adding that such pilots may face deadly force in the air.

“The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened,” the FAA wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The FAA ended its traffic ban over Montana later Saturday, with NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) releasing a statement indicating that the object was only a radar anomaly.

Nevertheless, Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., released a statement on Twitter saying that NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command) believes there is an object above the state that is not an anomaly.

“I am in constant communication with NORCOM (sic) and they have just advised me that they have confidence there IS an object and it WAS NOT an anomaly. I am waiting now to receive visual confirmation. Our nation’s security is my priority,” he wrote Sunday.

REPUBLICANS REACT TO THIRD ‘OBJECT’ SHOT DOWN OVER CANADA: ‘UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE’

NORAD had issued a statement Saturday saying that it “detected a radar anomaly and sent fighter aircraft to investigate.”

“Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation,” the statement continued.

British prodigy Sky Brown wins gold in park skateboarding at World Championships

February 13, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

British prodigy Sky Brown produced a sensational performance at the Skateboarding World Championships Sunday to win her first world title in park skateboarding.

The 14-year-old, Britain’s youngest Olympic medal winner, now becomes Britain’s first skateboarding world champion, adding world gold to the bronze medals she won at the 2019 World Championships and Tokyo Olympics.

Her second run at Sharjah’s Aljada Skate Park in the United Arab Emirates featured a Kickflip Indy and ended with a frontside 540, scoring her 89.63 – a mark she bettered during her third run when she scored 90.83, when victory had already been confirmed.

Olympic silver medalist Kokona Hiraki was second with 86.66, while Olympic champion Sakura Yosozumi – who fell in her second run – came third, scoring 85.15.

“Being on the podium with these guys again is so crazy. There’s new girls ripping it and it’s really inspiring. I’m really stoked,” Brown said afterwards, per Olympics.com

“It’s just been really fun. I was trying to enjoy it as much as I could. Landing all three of my runs was an amazing feeling. I didn’t really know until the end because all the girls are crazy right now.”

Under her father’s supervision, Brown took up the sport when she was three, learning tricks on YouTube and eventually enrolling in Great Britain’s skateboarding program.

In May 2020, she suffered a life-threatening injury when she fell 15 feet while training, landing on hard ground and sustaining a fractured skull, broken left wrist and hand, and lacerations to her lungs and stomach.

The Championships also offers ranking points for Olympic qualification. With her gold, Brown also takes maximum points towards qualification for next year’s Olympics in Paris.

The best-placed American was Bryce Wettstein, who finished fifth with 84.40 points.

Jamaal Bowman says Tyre Nichols 'killed by white supremacy' after fatal beating by Black cops

February 13, 2023 Published by Fox News

Rep. Jamaal Bowman said a Memphis man who was fatally beaten by Black police officers was “killed by white supremacy” and “America” in a recent fundraising email by his re-election campaign.

“Tyre Nichols should be alive today. Instead, like so many others he was killed by police. Killed by white supremacy. Killed by America,” read the campaign email sent Monday on behalf of the New York Democrat, the New York Post first reported.

“This is Black terror,” the email said. “We feel it everyday. We feel it more today. Too many victims to name. Too much hurt to explain. Too many tears, too normalized, too numb. From 1619 to the present day we live in a constant state of terror.”

Nichols, who was Black, died after he was brutally beaten by five now-former officers with the Memphis Police Department during a traffic stop.

TYRE NICHOLS’ DEATH: FORMER MEMPHIS COP TOOK AND SHARED PHOTOS OF BLOODIED VICTIM

Demetrius Haley, Tadarrius Bean, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith are charged with second-degree murder in the Jan. 7 beating.

All the ex-officers except Bean have infractions in their work records ranging from using physical force during an arrest to failing to report a domestic violence incident.

All five were also named in a lawsuit and accused of beating a Black Army veteran days before their encounter with Nichols.

TYRE NICHOLS DEATH: MEMPHIS OFFICIALS SAY 8 ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS COULD FACE DISIPLINE

In his fundraising email, Bowman claimed Nichols’ death is the result of an “operating system” that dehumanizes Black people.

“Police brutality happens in New York, in Memphis, in Los Angeles, in cities across the country, small towns across the country, and throughout American history,” the message read, according to the Post. “At the root of it is the dehumanization of Black people, people of color, and particularly Black men. This kind of white supremacy is not just about skin color, however: it’s about ideology. It’s the operating system on which too much of our society is based.”

“We need my fellow members of Congress and President Biden to provide historic leadership on this issue. We cannot maintain this status quo. We must lead for Black lives and lead for Black humanity,” added the email, which included a “Donate” link.

Bowman’s campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for further elaboration.

While the officers accused of killing Nichols are Black, progressives have claimed Nichols’ death can be blamed on White supremacy due to institutional racism that treats Black people as inferior.

The University of Minnesota’s Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity issued a statement arguing that “the killings, terror, and oppression are a direct result of anti-Black racist attitudes, policies, procedures, and leadership that pervade our institutions.”

Ben & Jerry’s, the progressive Vermont ice cream maker that routinely weighs in on social justice issues, argued that “the fact that the officers who murdered Tyre are Black shows how deeply embedded white supremacy is in American culture and specifically in policing.”

“You do not have to be white to act in service of white supremacy,” Ben & Jerry’s tweeted. “It is more powerful than any one individual or group of people, it is in the air we breathe and built into the systems that surround us.”

Earlier this month, Bowman, a member of the far-left “Squad” of House Democrats, and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., reintroduced the African American History Act in both the House and the Senate, which they said will increase awareness of “African American history through a social justice and anti-bias lens.”

“It is our moral imperative to tell the truth about our past to finally reconcile with this nation’s history of racism and white nationalism, and our legislation will serve as a vital component in our fight to do just that,” Bowman said in a press release.

A spokesperson for Bowman didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News Digital.

Canadian women's national soccer team call off strike, captain says players are 'being forced back to work'

February 13, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

The Canadian women’s national soccer team has called off its strike and resumed training after the sport’s governing body Canada Soccer threatened legal action, players said on February 11.

A day earlier, captain Christine Sinclair told Canada’s The Sports Network (TSN) that the team was going on strike following cuts to its program and pay equity concerns.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the Players’ Association said that Canada Soccer considered the strike “unlawful,” and that players “cannot afford the risks that personal action against us by Canada Soccer will create,” as they “have received no compensation yet for any of our work for Canada Soccer in 2022.”

Canada Soccer said in its own statement that it “respects the players’ right to organize” but that players “were not and are not in a legal strike position under Ontario labor law.”

It added that it was “not prepared to jeopardize” the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, the team’s preparations for the Women’s World Cup in five months and the experiences of “countless fans.”

Canada, the reigning women’s soccer Olympic champion, is scheduled to face the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) on February 16 in its first match of the SheBelieves Cup.

“To be clear,” Sinclair tweeted. “We are being forced back to work for the short term. This is not over. We will continue to fight for everything we deserve and we will win. The She Believes is being played in protest.”

Captain Christine Sinclair was part of the gold medal winning team.

Representatives from the Players’ Association met with Canada Soccer for a meeting on Saturday, both parties said.

Canada Soccer added that it has committed to negotiating a comprehensive collective agreement with both the Women’s and Men’s National Teams which “will be an historic deal that will deliver real change and pay equity.”

The players said in a February 10 statement that they had been negotiating with Canada Soccer for more than a year and are now “being told to prepare to perform at a world-class level without the same level of support that was received by the Men’s National Team in 2022.”

Training camps have been cut for the women’s team, as well as the number of players and staff invited and the already limited youth program, the players’ statement said.

“We expect and deserve nothing less than to be treated equally and fairly and to have our program – and our World Cup preparations – funded appropriately,” it added.

CNN reached out to Canada Soccer and Sport Canada for comment on Saturday but had not received a response by the time of publication.

I ticked off the creepy people search sites, and you can too

February 12, 2023 Published by Fox News

My son asked me where I lived for a few months in Los Angeles over 25 years ago. It was a gig working for Unisys that was far from memorable. He found that address at a free people search site, along with my other addresses and cell phone numbers. Nice.

That’s what inspired my widely successful Opt-Out Tuesday series at Komando.com. Every Tuesday, we walk you through all the steps to remove your personal information from a different people search site. It’s been a ton of work, as these sites don’t make it easy.

Opt-Out Tuesday has been so popular that people search sites are fighting back. After all, the less personal information they have about you and me, the less money they make.

Second child dies in car ramming attack in Jerusalem

February 12, 2023 Published by CNN

Jerusalem
CNN
—

A car drove into several people at a bus stop in Jerusalem on Friday, killing a man and a young child in what Israeli police described as a “ramming terror attack.” A second child died of his injuries Saturday.

Yaakov Yisrael Paley, 6, and Alter Shlomo Lederman, 20, died Friday at the Ramot intersection, an area Israel considers to be a neighborhood in northern Jerusalem.

The boy’s brother, 8-year-old Asher Menachem Paley, who was “critically wounded” during the attack, died in hospital on Saturday, according to a statement by the hospital, Shaare Zedek.

He was pronounced dead after “many teams from the trauma unit, from the ER, pediatric intensive care, pediatric surgery and neurosurgery fought for many hours for his life,” according to the statement.

The 42-year-old father of Asher and Yaakov was injured in the attack and remains in the hospital in “moderate” condition, according to Hadassah Medical Center. His 10-year-old son has been released “after being treated in the emergency room by the medical team.”

Two other people were also injured in the incident.

Israeli emergency responders gather at the site.

The suspect, who was “neutralized” at the scene, according to police, was identified as Hussein Qaraqe, a 31-year-old from east Jerusalem.

Local journalists in the neighborhood reported that Israeli police had arrested Qaraqe’s wife, father and brother, sharing videos of what they said were the arrests.

It occurred on land that Israel captured from Jordan in 1967 and then annexed, so Palestinians and many international observers consider it to be a settlement on occupied land.

The suspect, Qaraqe, had been released from a hospital in Tel Aviv the night before the incident, his uncle told CNN.

He had been in hospitalized for a month due to a back injury, said Adnan Qaraqe.

“He had a car accident a while ago and severely injured his back which led to more than five surgeries on his spine. He was on very heavy medication and painkillers which affected his nervous system.”

Qaraqe said he did not know if the hospital where his nephew had stayed was a mental hospital or whether Hussein was hospitalized for back pain. He said there would be records at his nephew’s house that would clarify, but the house has been sealed by Israeli authorities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave orders on Friday for the house to be sealed and demolished. Residents of Issawiya told CNN that Qaraqe was not the owner of the house, but had rented it.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir also ordered police checks of vehicles in that neighborhood in the wake of the ramming – and wanted to go further, he said at the scene of the incident.

“I instructed the police to set up roadblocks around Issawiya and stop one by one – one by one – and to simply check every vehicle. I wanted to do a full closure, but there is a legal question about it – and we will discuss it. In any case, I instructed the police to deploy roadblocks, and they are deploying roadblocks around Issawiya,” he said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday responded to the incident in a strongly worded statement on Friday, saying, “We strongly condemn today’s terrorist attack on civilians, including children, at a bus stop in Jerusalem and express our condolences to the families of those killed.”

“The deliberate targeting of innocent civilians is repugnant and unconscionable. The United States extends our deepest sympathies to the injured, and we stand firmly with them in the face of this attack,” the statement read.

Lost Texas dog makes incredible journey back to former shelter, rings doorbell to get back in

February 12, 2023 Published by Fox News

A recently adopted Texas rescue dog ran away from her new owners and made a 10-mile trek back to her former animal shelter – where she rang the doorbell of the middle of the night.

“As we knew, dogs are incredible,” the Animal Rescue League of El Paso posted on Facebook. “Bailey made her own way back to ARL, and rang our ring doorbell at 1:15am saying she wanted in. Staff rushed to the shelter and put Bailey in her run. She was very happy, and we were too.”

The rescue center put out an alert last month to ask El Paso residents to be on the lookout for Bailey, telling readers that she is a “very friendly” pup.

What the group and its adoptee family didn’t know at the time was that the husky mix was making a roughly 10-mile journey through busy intersections over a two-day span back to the animal rescue center, using only her nose and a mental map of the area, KARE 11 reported.

Bailey reached the center in the middle of the night and summoned her former caretakers by ringing the doorbell.

“I’ll be darn, at 1:42 in the morning she’s ringing the doorbell like, ‘I’m home,'” Loretta Hyde, founder of the league, told USA Today. “The Ring camera kept going off and off and off … and you’ll see in the video that she’s running out there, sitting, waiting for somebody to come.”

When one of the other employees at the shelter saw the pup on the Ring camera, the worker said her name over the speaker, and “she went boom, right up to the camera,” Hyde recounted.

“‘I’m here, let me in, where are you?'” Hyde said of what must have been going through the dog’s mind when she rang the bell.

A staffer rushed over to the location to bring Bailey inside, and she slept all night, according to Hyde.

“She slept so hard the whole night,” Hyde said. “The next morning, she was like, ‘You can serve my breakfast over there. I’ll get it in a minute. I’m still resting.’ So, three days without food and water, I mean, she was making up for her rest.”

Bailey is now home with her new family.

Republican senator warns Congress must take action now to protect Medicare and Social Security

February 12, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

Republican Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota offered Sunday a stark warning about the future of Social Security and Medicare if Congress fails to take action now.

“In the next 11 years, we have to have a better plan in place than what we do today. Or we’re going to see – under existing circumstances – some reductions of as much as 24% in some sort of a benefit. So, let’s start talking now because it’s easier to fix it now that it would be five years or six years from now,” Rounds told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

In recent days, President Joe Biden has made a forceful argument against Republicans by highlighting his support for Social Security and Medicare. The president has specifically seized on a proposal from GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida to sunset federal legislation – including Social Security and Medicare – every five years and require Congress to pass them again.

Referencing his “spirited debate” with Republicans at the State of the Union, Biden called Scott’s proposal “outrageous” and vowed he would veto such a plan during a speech in Florida last week.

“The very idea the senator from Florida wants to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block every five years I find to be somewhat outrageous. So outrageous that you might not even believe it,” he said, pulling out a pamphlet detailing Scott’s plan.

Scott told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins last week that his proposal is intended to eliminate wasteful spending and help ensure the government can “figure out how to start living within our means.”

“I want to make sure we balance our budget and preserve Medicare and Social Security, and I’ve been clear all along,” he said.

Rounds also stressed Sunday that Republicans want to better manage Medicare and Social Security in order to improve the programs – not strip them from the American people.

“We think that there are possibilities out there of long-term success without scaring people and without tearing apart the system and without reducing benefits. But it requires management. And it requires actually looking at and making things better,” he said.
