Danny Masterson must
stand trial on 3 rape charges
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Friday said
“That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson must
stand trial on three counts of rape after hearing
days of dramatic and emotional testimony from
three women who said he attacked them in 2001
and 2003.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Char-

laine F. Olmedo made the determination after the
prosecution laid out its evidence over four days.
She said she found the women’s testimony credible
for the purposes of a preliminary hearing, where
the bar for sufﬁcient evidence is much lower than
at trial.
The forthcoming trial will represent the rare
prosecution of a Hollywood ﬁgure in the #MeToo
era despite dozens of investigations by police and
the Los Angeles district attorney, most of which
have ended without charges.

civilians. Twelve people
were killed in Israel, all
but one of them civilians,
including a 5-year-old boy
and 16-year-old girl.
Celebrations erupted in
Gaza, the occupied West
Bank and east Jerusalem
at 2 a.m. when the ceaseﬁre took hold.
In Gaza City, thousands took to the streets,
and young men waved
Palestinian and Hamas
ﬂags, passed out sweets,
honked horns and set off
ﬁreworks.
At noon prayers at
Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, hundreds held
similar celebrations, waving ﬂags and cheering
Hamas. It was unclear
what sparked the ensuing
violence, in which police
ﬁred stun grenades and
tear gas, and Palestinians threw rocks. Israeli
police said they arrested
16 people. Similar clashes
broke out in parts of the
West Bank.
Gazans had a day of

recovery after 11 days of
Israeli bombardment.
Shoppers stocked up on
fresh fruit and vegetables
at a Gaza City open-air
market that reopened
after being closed during the ﬁghting. Workers
swept up rubble.
“Life will return,
because this is not the
ﬁrst war, and it will not
be the last war,” said
shop owner Ashraf Abu
Mohammad. “The heart
is in pain, there have been
disasters, families wiped
from the civil registry,
and this saddens us. But
this is our fate in this
land, to remain patient.”
Residents in the hardhit town of Beit Hanoun
surveyed wrecked homes.
“We see such huge
destruction here, it’s the
ﬁrst time in history we’ve
seen this,” said Azhar
Nsair. “The cease-ﬁre is
for people who didn’t suffer, who didn’t lose their
loved ones, whose homes

were not bombed.”
Rescue workers were
still recovering bodies.
Five were collected Friday in the town of Khan
Younis, including that of a
3-year-old, the Red Crescent emergency service
said.
Tens of thousands
returned home after sheltering in U.N. schools. At
the peak, 66,000 people
were crammed inside, but
on Friday the number fell
under 1,000, U.N. spokesman Sephane Dujarric
said.
After the cease-ﬁre, the
U.N. sent 13 trucks with
food, COVID-19 vaccines,
medical supplies and
medicines into Gaza. The
world body also allocated
$18.6 million in emergency humanitarian aid.
The bombardment
struck a blow to the
already decrepit infrastructure in the small
coastal territory, home
to more than 2 million

Palestinians. It ﬂattened high-rises and
houses, tore up roads and
wrecked water systems.
At least 30 health facilities were damaged, forcing a halt to coronavirus
testing in the territory.
The ﬁghting began
May 10, when Hamas
militants in Gaza ﬁred
long-range rockets toward
Jerusalem. The barrage
came after days of clashes
between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police
at Al-Aqsa. Heavy-handed
police tactics at the compound and the threatened
eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers had inﬂamed
tensions.
Competing claims to
Jerusalem have repeatedly triggered bouts of
violence. Israel captured
east Jerusalem, the West
Bank and Gaza in the
1967 war and the Palestinians want them for
their future state.

New York AG has 2 lawyers
working with DA on Trump probe
By Michael R. Sisak
Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York’s attorney
general said Friday that she’s assigned
two lawyers to work with the Manhattan district’s attorney’s ofﬁce on
a criminal investigation into former
President Donald Trump’s business
dealings.
Attorney General Letitia James said
her ofﬁce is working alongside and
cooperating with Manhattan District
Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. on the criminal probe. Vance’s ofﬁce has been investigating Trump for about two years.
James, a Democrat, said her ofﬁce is
also continuing its ongoing civil investigation into the the Republican expresident and his company, the Trump
Organization.
“Two of our assistant attorney gener-

als have been cross designated as district attorneys,” James said at a news
conference on an unrelated topic.
It was James’ ﬁrst appearance
before the news media since her ofﬁce
announced Tuesday night that its
Trump investigation had evolved into
a criminal matter. She did not say
what prompted her ofﬁce to expand its
investigation into a criminal probe.
Trump issued a statement Wednesday complaining that he’s being
“unfairly attacked and abused by a corrupt political system.” He contends the
probes are part of a Democratic plot to
silence his voters and block him from
running for president again.
Duncan Levin, a lawyer for a witness
who’s cooperating with both investigations, said they’ve been talking to
prosecutors from the attorney general’s
criminal division since March.

Hand hygiene and mask wearing have been hot topics since COVID-19 became a concern in March 2020.
Meanwhile, universal precautions can be used to prevent the spread of many other infections and diseases.
Universal precautions require that
blood and other body ﬂuids be treated as if they are infectious. Universal
precautions include maintaining
personal hygiene and using personal
protective equipment (PPE). PPE
include masks, gloves, face and eye
protection and gowns. When you are
close to or are handling, blood, bodily Meigs Health

must use PPE.
Hoschar
Transmission-based precautions
are a step above universal/standard
precautions and specify what PPE needs to be worn
in certain circumstances including, but not limited to
when coming into contact with infections or pathogens such as inﬂuenzas, MRSA, Hep B/C or chicken
pox. In these circumstances, airborne, droplet or contact isolations precautions are used.
Transmission of infections can be direct and indirect. Direct contact-Infected blood or body ﬂuid from
one person enters another person’s body at a correct
entry site (such as infected blood splashing in the
eye, nose or mouth, or entering in open areas on
ones’ skin). Although unbroken skin is a good barrier
against blood borne pathogens, even the smallest cut,
blister, blemish, or skin opening can admit pathogens.
Indirect contact occurs when a person’s skin touches
an object that contains the blood or body ﬂuid of an
infected person (such as picking up soiled dressings
or touching surfaces contaminated with an infected
person’s blood or body ﬂuid on them and then touching an entry site on yourself).
The purpose of practicing universal precautions is
twofold: universal precautions protect most people
from further harm or infection, while simultaneously
protecting the medical professional and others from
transmitting or contracting a blood borne illness from
an infected individual. With the public’s compliance
during the Pandemic in wearing masks and gloves
and the increased cleaning of shopping carts, door
handles and gas pumps, certain airborne, droplet and
contact illnesses have been decreased in number. So,
it is important for everyone to keep using universal
precautions as needed in the future.

Survey, speed test to help identify internet needs
OHIO VALLEY —
State and federal agencies are getting ready
to spend billions to
improve broadband in
Appalachian Ohio. To
make sure those funds
are spent wisely, decision makers need to
hear from residents and
business owners about
broadband usage, avail-

ability, and needs.
If you live or work in
rural Ohio, you can help
identify locations that
need better broadband
by running a free internet speed test and completing a 5 minute rural
broadband survey. The
State of Ohio is using
consumer-initiated speed
test results to identify

areas that need better
broadband. The more
tests people run, the
more accurate the data.
Speed test data combined with broadband
survey responses can
help identify areas without coverage and areas
where performance and
reliability are poor.

White House’s new, $1.7T infrastructure offer panned by GOP
By Lisa Mascaro
and Jonathan Lemire

J. Scott Applewhite | AP

A concrete pump frames the Capitol Dome during renovations and repairs to Lower Senate Park
on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday. President Joe Biden hopes to pass a massive national
infrastructure plan by this summer but Democrats and Republicans in Congress appear divided over
his proposal for $2.3 trillion in spending to upgrade the nation’s crumbling infrastructure.

slipping to strike a compromise. The president’s
team is holding to a soft
Memorial Day deadline
it had set to determine
whether a deal was within reach.
Psaki said the new
proposal drops the
president’s proposed
expenditures on broadband as well as roads,
bridges and other major
investments to meet the
Republicans’ lower level.
She said the administration’s proposal also
involved “shifting investments in research and
development, supply
chains, manufacturing
and small business” out

be considered elsewhere,

Cooks, nurses guard inmates with
US prisons down 6K officers
Nearly one-third of federal correctional ofﬁcer
jobs in the United States
are vacant, forcing prisons
to use cooks, teachers,
nurses and other workers
to guard inmates.
At a federal penitentiary in Texas, prisoners
are locked in their cells on
weekends because there
are not enough guards to
watch them. Elsewhere
in the system, ﬁghts are
breaking out, several
inmates have escaped in
recent months and, in
Illinois, at one of the most
understaffed prisons in
the country, ﬁve inmates
have died in homicides
or suicides since March
2020.
The Justice Department
budgeted for 20,446 fulltime correctional ofﬁcer
positions in 2020, but the
agency that runs federal
prisons said it currently
employs 13,762 ofﬁcers.
The Bureau of Prisons
insists that many of its
facilities still have a full
complement of ofﬁcers
who focus solely on maintaining order.
Decisions to use other
staff as guards are based
on a facility’s needs and
are made to ensure critical positions are covered,
the agency said. Staff
members also may be
pressed into duty as correctional ofﬁcers “during
irregular periods such as
a pandemic,” the agency
told The Associated
Press.
For years, the Bureau of
Prisons has been plagued
by systematic failures,
from chronic violence
to high-proﬁle deaths.
But the stafﬁng crisis is
reaching a breaking point,
and the pandemic hasn’t
helped. Nearly 7,000
employees were sickened
with COVID-19. Ofﬁcers
were sent to hospitals
to guard inmates being
treated for the virus. Four
staff members and 235
inmates died.
Overworked employees

are burning out quickly
and violent encounters
are being reported on a
near-daily basis. At a prison in Illinois, there are so
few staff that ofﬁcers are
sometimes forced to work
60 hours of overtime in a
week. At a facility in California, a ﬁght broke out
among inmates soon after
a teacher was sent to ﬁll
in as an ofﬁcer.
The expanded use of
that practice, known as
augmentation, is raising
questions about whether
the agency can carry out
its required duties to
ensure the safety of prisoners and staff members
while also putting in place
programs and classes such
as those under the First
Step Act, a criminal justice overhaul that received
wide bipartisan support
in Congress.
“You can’t do programming, you can’t have safety, you can’t have a lot of
things that make prisons
operate without proper
stafﬁng,” said Kevin
Ring, the president of the
advocacy group Families
Against Mandatory Minimums.
The bureau insists
everyone working at its
facilities is a trained,
sworn correctional worker, regardless of position
or job title. All 35,000
employees are told when
they are hired that they
should expect to perform
law enforcement functions, the agency said,
even if they are signing on
as counselors or teachers.
But pulling employees
away from other duties
up to twice a week means
they have less time to do
their regular jobs such as
teaching classes, reviewing release paperwork and
providing vital inmate
services.
“When they augment
you, you’re not doing your
job that you’re hired for,”
said Jonathan Zumkehr,
the union president at
the federal penitentiary
in Thomson. “If you’re a
counselor, you’re not able

to counsel the inmates.
If you’re a case manager,
you’re not able to do the
First Step Act. Those are
two days that you’re not
going to get back.”
The issue came up
when wealth ﬁnancier
Jeffrey Epstein took his
own life while in one of
the most secure jails in
the country, the Metropolitan Correctional
Center in New York. One
of the two prison workers
assigned to guard Epstein
the night he killed himself
was a warehouse worker
who was augmented to
work as a correctional
ofﬁcer. Both were working overtime because of
stafﬁng shortages.

new funds.
Removing the research
and development funds
would cut a whopping
$480 billion, the aides
said.
The White House
characterized the GOP’s
initial $568 billion
“Roadmap” proposal as
amounting to an estimated $175 billion to
$225 billion in “new
investment, above current levels Congress has
traditionally funded,”
according to the memo.
The GOP senators
have not publicly disclosed their latest offer.

“If they’re willing to

revisiting the 2017 tax

COLLEGE NEWS AND NOTES

Fry named to Ohio Dominican
University’s Dean’s List
COLUMBUS — Lydia Fry of Syracuse, Ohio, has
been named to Ohio Dominican University’s 2021
spring semester Dean’s List. In order to make the
Dean’s List, full-time undergraduate students must
have achieved a 3.5 GPA or better after taking a minimum of 12 credit hours.
Ohio Dominican University is a comprehensive,
four-year, private, liberal arts and master’s institution, founded in 1911 in the Catholic and Dominican
tradition by the Dominican Sisters of Peace. The University has approximately 1,500 students and offers
undergraduate degrees in 39 majors and eight graduate degree programs. At ODU, students connect their

Jokic, Embiid,
Curry announced as
NBA MVP finalists
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

Denver’s Nikola Jokic ﬁnished ninth in the MVP
voting last season. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and
Golden State’s Stephen Curry didn’t get listed on a
single ballot a year ago.
A year later, one of them will walk away with the
NBA’s highest individual prize.
Jokic, Embiid and Curry were revealed Thursday
night as the three top votegetters for this year’s NBA
MVP award, one that will be presented sometime
during the playoffs. Curry is a two-time winner,
Jokic’s best previous ﬁnish was fourth in 2019 and
Embiid’s best MVP showing was seventh in 2019.
Jokic would be the ﬁrst Denver player to win MVP.
Embiid would be Philadelphia’s ﬁrst winner since
Allen Iverson in 2001 and Curry could become the
ninth player in NBA history to win the trophy three
times.
The 18 top-three vote-getters in six award categories — MVP, coach of the year, most improved
player, rookie of the year, defensive player of the
year and sixth man of the year — were announced
Thursday.
The Utah Jazz, who ﬁnished with the NBA’s best
record and home-court advantage throughout the
playoffs, had a league-best four ﬁnalists. New York,
back in the playoffs for the ﬁrst time since 2013 as
the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, had three
award ﬁnalists.
The Jazz and Knicks swept the top-three spots in
the sixth man of the year category, with Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles both making the list from Utah and
former NBA MVP Derrick Rose from New York getting a ﬁnalist nod there as well.
Denver, Philadelphia and Golden State had two
ﬁnalists apiece, while Phoenix, Detroit, Charlotte,
Minnesota and Sacramento had one each.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and
third-round receiver Anthony
Schwartz.
The 6-foot-1, 300-pound Togiai
was the No. 132 overall pick. The
Browns needed to add interior
help after releasing Sheldon Richardson and choosing not to resign Larry Ogunjobi. Togiai will
join Cleveland’s rotation up front.
“We think he is a very good run
player,” Browns player personnel
director Dan Saganey said on
draft weekend. “Obviously, the
division is a physical division in
general. We think there is upside

there as a pass rusher for him,
as well. He is a good, powerful,
explosive and quick guy to add to
the room.
“You can never have enough
defensive linemen, and we are
excited to get him in the mix and
see what he can do and compete
with the rest of the crew here.”
A native of Idaho, Togiai started seven games and played in 33
for the Buckeyes. He recorded 49
tackles and three sacks.
Togiai is just the fourth player
from Ohio State drafted by the
Browns since 1999.

Reunited: Tebow signs with Jags, rejoins Meyer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are, at the
very least, no longer the
NFL’s most irrelevant
franchise.
Urban Meyer. Trevor
Lawrence. Tim Tebow.
The rebuilding Jaguars
now have three of college football’s biggest
stars — and two of its
most polarizing ﬁgures
— from the past 15
years after Tebow signed
a one-year contract
Thursday.
The former Florida
standout and 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback will attempt
to revive his pro career
as a tight end.
The 33-year-old
Tebow is returning to
the NFL after ﬁve years
(2016-20) in the New
York Mets’ organization
and he’s reuniting with

McInnis, Greater Beckley Christian; Gavin
Moore, Clay Battelle;
Joel Moore, Paden City;
Brandon Oscar, Greenbrier West; Dalton
Rollo, Sherman; Tommy
Shannon, Valley Wetzel;
Jackson Tackett, Man;

Meyer, his college coach,
for the ﬁrst time since
his senior year in 2009.
“I know it will be a
challenge, but it is a challenge I embrace,” Tebow
said in a statement. “I
am dedicated to taking the direction of our
coaching staff and learning from my teammates.
I appreciate everyone’s
support as I embark on
this new journey.”
Tebow joined his
new team on the ﬁeld
Thursday wearing No.
85 — quarterback Gardner Minshew has No. 15
for now — and took part
in a voluntary, closed
workout.
Tebow is not expected
to have any media availability until training
camp, at the earliest, in
hopes of minimizing the
media circus that follows
the devout Christian

who has received rock
star treatment at every
NFL stop.
His comeback is
unprecedented because
of his age, his new position and the fact that he
last played in a regularseason game in 2012,
with the New York
Jets. He’s sure to create
another ballyhooed storyline for a team coming
off a 1-15 season that
led to a coaching change
and the No. 1 pick in
the NFL draft (Lawrence).
Several teams suggested Tebow make the
position change years
ago, but he declined.
He ﬁnally switched
after retiring from
baseball in February. He
worked out for the Jaguars the following week,
the ﬁrst of two explor-

atory sessions that came
to light hours before the
start of the NFL draft on
April 29.
Meyer raved about
Tebow’s workouts, saying assistants were
surprised to see the
235-pounder in such
great shape. Ultimately,
Tebow’s ability to pick
up a new position — a
number of college QBs
have made the transition
look seamless — will
determine whether he
makes the team.
Just getting a chance
after such a lengthy
layoff has stirred debate
about preferential treatment. Others insist it’s
merely the result of a
decades-long relationship that now includes
Meyer and Tebow being
neighbors in Jacksonville.
