(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Walmart employees in North Texas are wearing body cameras as part of a pilot program to increase employee safety at stores, Fox Business reports. The cameras will be worn by employees at multiple stores in Denton. The locations have signage that the employees are using body-worn cameras. As of now, the program is only being tested in Denton stores. A Walmart spokesperson told Fox Business that the company would evaluate the results of the pilot program before deciding the long-term fate of the program. "While we don’t talk about the specifics of our security measures, we are always looking at new and innovative technology used across the retail industry," Walmart said in a statement to FOX Business . Walmart isn't the first retailer to test body-worn cameras in its stores. TJX Companies , the parent company of stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, has been using body-worn cameras in its stores as a theft deterrent. The cameras are only worn by loss prevention associates who are trained in their usage. Businesses collectively lost $112.1 billion in 2022 due to retail theft, according to the National Retail Federation's 2023 National Retail Security Survey. According to NRF’s latest study, "The Impact of Retail Theft & Violence 2024," about 91% of those surveyed say that shoplifters are exhibiting more violence and aggression compared with 2019.

This release was published on openPR.NEW YORK -- As New York City prosecutors work to bring murder charges against Luigi Mangione in the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, supporters of the suspect are donating tens of thousands of dollars for a defense fund established for him, leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr. Several online defense funds have been created for Mangione by anonymous people, including one on the crowdfunding website GiveSendGo that as of Sunday morning had raised over $100,000. NOTE: The video above is from a previous report. The GiveSendGo defense fund for the 26-year-old Mangione was established by an anonymous group calling itself "The December 4th Legal Committee," apparently in reference to the day Mangione allegedly ambushed and gunned down Thompson in Midtown Manhattan as the executive walked to his company's shareholders conference at the New York Hilton hotel. "We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right to fair legal representation," the anonymous group said in a statement. The crowdfunding campaign prompted donations from thousands of anonymous donors across the country, many of them leaving messages of support for Mangione, including one person who called themselves "A frustrated citizen" and thanked Mangione for "sparking the awareness and thought across this sleeping nation." The GiveSendGo fund for Mangione appeared to be briefly taken down before it was restored on Thursday. In a statement to ABC News, a spokesperson for GiveSendGo said the company "operates with a principle of not preemptively determining guilt or innocence." "Our platform does not adjudicate legal matters or the validity of causes. Instead, we allow campaigns to remain live unless they violate the specific terms outlined in our Terms of Use. Importantly, we do allow campaigns for legal defense funds, as we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to access due process," the GiveSendGo spokesperson said. The spokesperson added, "We understand the concerns raised by such campaigns and take these matters seriously. When campaigns are reported, our team conducts a thorough review to ensure they comply with our policies. While other platforms may choose a different approach, GiveSendGo's core value is to provide a space where all individuals, no matter their situation, can seek and receive support, with donors making their own informed decisions." Other crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe have also taken down campaigns soliciting donations for Mangione's defense. "GoFundMe's Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers for the legal defense of violent crimes," the crowdfunding website said in a statement. "The fundraisers have been removed from our platform and all donors have been refunded."Amazon and Etsy have removed from their websites merchandise featuring Mangione, including T-shirts and tote bags reading "Free Luigi" and the phrase "Deny, Defend, Depose," words police said were etched in the shell casings discovered at the scene of Thompson's homicide. "Celebrating this conduct is abhorrent to me. It's deeply disturbing," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told ABC News senior investigative reporter Aaron Katersky in an interview Wednesday night. "And what I would say to members of the public, people who as you described are celebrating this and maybe contemplating other action, that we will be vigilant and we will hold people accountable. We are at the ready." Prosecutors at the Manhattan district attorney's office have begun presenting evidence to a grand jury as they work to try to secure an indictment against Mangione, sources told ABC News on Thursday. Mangione's attorney, Thomas Dickey of Altoona, Pennsylvania, where the suspect was arrested Monday following a five-day manhunt, said his client is presumed innocent and will plead not guilty to any charges filed against him. Mangione is contesting extradition to New York. Asked about people contributing to Mangione defense funds that have popped up, Dickey said, "People are entitled to their opinion and, like I said, if you're an American and you believe in the American criminal justice system, you have to presume him to be innocent and none of us would want anything other than that if that were us in their shoes. So, I'm glad he had some support." In a later interview on CNN, Dickey said he is leaning toward not accepting any money from his client's supporters for his defense. "To be honest with you, I probably wouldn't," Dickey told CNN. "I just don't feel comfortable about that. So, I don't know. I haven't given that much thought. Obviously, my client appreciates the support that he has, but I don't know, it just doesn't sit right with me, really." Retired FBI special agent Richard Frankel said that in previous politically-charged violent crimes, suspects have received unsolicited support. "We saw it with the Unabomber," said Frankel, an ABC News contributor, referring to Ted Kaczynski -- the mathematician-turn-domestic terrorist who blamed technology for a decline of individual freedom and mailed handcrafted explosives to targeted individuals between 1978 and 1995. Frankel said Eric Rudolph, who detonated a bomb in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Olympic Games and carried out three additional bombings as he eluded capture for five years, also attracted supporters. "In my opinion, they're supporting individuals who have committed potentially terrorist acts, but it's a politically charged act," Frankel said Referring to the Thompson killing, Frankel added, "You can be up in arms about the healthcare industry, but you can't threaten or actually hurt members of the healthcare industry." Most recently, Marine veteran Daniel Penny was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was acting erratically on a New York City subway, after supporters donated more than $3 million to his legal defense fund. Law enforcement officials have expressed concern that Mangione is being turned into a martyr. Someone this week pasted "wanted posters" outside the New York Stock Exchange naming other executives. A bulletin released Wednesday by the Delaware Valley Intelligence Center, a multi-agency law enforcement intelligence-sharing network based in Philadelphia, included a photo of a banner hanging from an overpass reading, "Deny, Defend, Depose." "Many social media users have outright advocated for the continued killings of CEOs with some aiming to spread fear by posting 'hit lists,'" the bulletin, obtained by ABC News, reads. Meanwhile, New York Police Department investigators continue to build a murder case against Mangione, who is being held in Pennsylvania on charges stemming from his arrest there, including illegal possession of ghost gun and fraudulent identification. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Pennsylvania. On Wednesday, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that the three shell casings recovered at the scene of Thompson's shooting matched the gun found in Mangione possession when he was arrested. She also confirmed that Mangione's fingerprints were recovered from a water bottle and the wrapper of a granola bar found near the crime scene.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Amazon Web Services will invest another $10 billion to bolster its data center infrastructure in Ohio. The company and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced the plan Monday. The new investment will boost the amount it has committed to spending in Ohio by the end of 2029 to more than $23 billion. AWS launched its first data centers in the state in 2016 and currently operates campuses in two counties in central Ohio, home to the capital city of Columbus. The new investment will allow AWS to expand its data centers to new sites, but the company said those locations have not been determined yet and noted that its investment plans are contingent upon the execution of long-term energy service agreements. AWS said the new data centers will contain computer servers, storage drives, networking equipment and other forms of technology infrastructure used to power cloud computing, including artificial intelligence and machine learning. In June 2023, AWS said it would invest $7.8 billion by the end of 2029 to expand its data center operations in central Ohio. That was on top of $6 billion already invested through 2022.

Growing up watching TV shows like MythBusters and Top Gear was the match that sparked the engineering careers of Perth twins Morgan and Ashley Ure. With matching double degrees in mechatronics and engineering, the 25-year-olds turn heads as they help design and build the Scitech Discovery Centre displays that engage minds young and old in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ashley and Morgan will speak to the design, mechanics and history of the race car, and will offer personal insights into the life of an ECU student engineer and a woman in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine fields. Credit: Scitech Earlier in 2024 they were part of a student racing team that took first place against 55 countries at Europe’s most established educational engineering competition – Formula Student. Back on home soil, the pair dived right back into promoting WA science. Morgan, a software engineer, and Ashley, an electrical engineer, are now inspiring the next generation of thinkers with talks on their winning design now running weekly during the school holidays at Scitech. “Our parents really encouraged us both in not just maths and science, but also other pursuits like arts, gymnastics, dancing and music,” Ashley said. “That definitely led to a well-rounded understanding that STEM is a part of so many different things.” Weighing in at a feather-light 164 kilograms, the custom-built Wilson Resolute race car can reach 100km/h in under four seconds. Its innovative rear suspension system, coupled with an efficient aerodynamics package and lightweight composite construction means the vehicle is especially nimble. Morgan designed and built the car’s steering wheel from scratch. More than purely building the car, the team has to incorporate design, marketing and budgeting skills into the project. “It’s a massive undertaking, it’s a holistic view of what it would be like to work in an engineering job,” Morgan said. “It’s not just necessarily getting to design cool things, it’s also about how can I work this all together to finish this project on time and on budget?” The budget for the build was $30,000, but the girls estimate the true cost if it included labour time would have amounted to more than $1 million. After three years of studying, working part-time and taking on Formula Student as extracurricular, they’re both now eager to dedicate time-sharing their knowledge and passion for women in science, following in the footsteps of their role model, distinguished neuroscientist and 2015 West Australian of the Year, Lyn Beazley. Ashley (left) and Morgan Ure are paving the way for young engineers. Credit: Scitech “There’s definitely been growth in the amount of women getting into engineering, but it’s not as fast as some industries would have hoped, but you do get to meet a few people that are very much like you and have that same sort of drive as you,” Morgan said. “Even though you may not see quite as many women in engineering, there’s absolutely no barriers and everyone that we’ve met through university and Scitech has been really supportive,” Ashley followed. Currently, Morgan is designing and building a radio astronomy exhibit that will feature in Scitech’s new gallery titled Here, There and Everywhere . Ashley is also working on a display in the exhibition called virus box, a visual and physical representation of how a virus spreads within a community. “What I love about the exhibits that we get to make is seeing them put out on the floor and somebody interacting with them,” Morgan said. “It’s just really incredible, it’s not only satisfying to see the thing that you’ve been making working, it’s seeing somebody else visit and enjoying it and learning something from it.” “It’s just a really good feeling.” The month-long collaboration between ECU and Scitech to display the race car will include interactive talks from Ashley and Morgan. They will speak to the design, mechanics and history of the race car, and will offer personal insights into the life of an ECU student engineer and a woman in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine fields.

This release was published on openPR.By SEAN MURPHY, The Associated Press Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a healthcare executive in New York City, apparently was living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation’s top private universities. Friends at an exclusive co-living space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Hawaii where the 26-year-old Mangione once lived widely considered him a “great guy,” and pictures on his social media accounts show a fit, smiling, handsome young man on beaches and at parties. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. But Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sharply refuted that perception after Mangione’s arrest on Monday when a customer at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania spotted Mangione eating and noticed he resembled the shooting suspect in security-camera photos released by New York police. “In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero,” Shapiro said. “The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.” Family and upbringing Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather, Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. Nick Mangione had 37 grandchildren, including Luigi, according to the grandfather’s obituary. Luigi Mangione’s grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes, including Catholic organizations, colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker’s office confirmed. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media by Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Education and work history Mangione, who was valedictorian of his elite Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts suggest he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. The children of some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent residents, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have attended the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, but has not worked there since 2023, the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company confirmed to the AP. Time in Hawaii and back pain From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu.Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, including surfing, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back,” Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. An image posted to a social media account linked to Mangione showed what appeared to be an X-ray of a metal rod and multiple screws inserted into someone’s lower spine. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. An X account linked to Mangione includes recent posts about the negative impact of smartphones on children; healthy eating and exercise habits; psychological theories; and a quote from Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti about the dangers of becoming “well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Police report darker turn Mangione likely was motivated by his anger at what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by AP. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s handwritten notes and social media posts. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said.Sources: Yanks get Fried for $218M, record for LHP

"We believe that there is a momentum in that process. That momentum increased when we and our partners achieved a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon," Finer said in an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York. "There's new energy in this," he said. He did not specify which officials were going to the region or what progress they have made towards a deal that has been elusive for months. Israel, the Gaza militant group Hamas and a range of third parties have been involved in negotiations. Gunmen led by the Palestinian militant group Hamas killed around 1200 people and took over 250 hostages back to Gaza when they attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli tallies. More than 44,700 Palestinians have been killed in the 14-month-old retaliatory Israeli military campaign on Gaza. The latest flurry of diplomatic activity in the region comes in the final weeks of Biden's presidency, before he hands over power to President-elect Donald Trump in January. Biden's team is in touch with Trump's on regional issues, Finer said, which also include the collapse of Syria's government and efforts to secure the release of the American journalist Austin Tice, who has been missing since being abducted in the country more than a decade ago.

The Coach Tregs Classic didn’t go the way the College of the Redwoods men’s basketball team had in mind. The tournament got pushed back a full day because of the 7.0 earthquake on Thursday. After Thursday’s quake, it felt like the Earth was again shaking for the Corsairs, with the team losing the tournament’s first two games of the Coach Tregs Classic. The two home losses are the first two home losses since December 2021, with CR going 21-0 at home the past two seasons. CR entered the tournament as the No. 14 team in the state according to the California Community College Men’s Basketball Coaches Association’s poll earlier this month, but that’s now likely to drop with the back-to-back losses. The Corsairs began the tournament with a 83-75 loss to Mendocino College, it was the third time this season that the two schools have faced off and it was the first time that the Corsairs didn’t leave with a win. CR won the first matchup 79-61 and barely won the second one 68-67 to win the Ed Boyle Invitational and Mendocino came back with an edge, coming from behind late to win 83-75. “Mendocino came with supreme toughness and were in it for the long haul competitively,” Corsairs head coach Ryan Bisio said. “Credit to them for their follow-through in seeing the game out. They were connected in their purpose. A well-deserved victory.” Sophomore guard Mason Mottashed led CR with 18 points while sophomore forward Brandon Lucas added 14, with the Corsairs hitting nine threes in the loss. Bisio and the Corsairs were hoping for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against Southwestern Oregon but instead CR delivered one of their worst starts imaginable, falling behind 18-1 in the first half. “I think there’s trace amounts of the really bitter disappointment from last night that crept in,” Bisio said on Saturday after the loss. “We just got out-coached and out-played. We just simply didn’t see it coming, the way they were going to attack us early.” CR eventually began to dust themselves off after the dreadful start, with freshman guard Marcos Rosales providing a spark off the bench for the Corsairs, with two early threes and then beating the first-half buzzer with a layup. “I’m really happy for him, we’ve been wanting him to be more aggressive to shoot the three and hopefully tonight affirms to him that he does have that ability,” Bisio said of Rosales, who finished with 19 points. “He needs to be really hunting shots when he’s out on the floor. I think it makes us more dangerous, not only just from a threat level but he changes the spacing for other people on the floor when he approaches the game that way.” The Corsairs trailed 39-29 at halftime but Rosales’ hot shooting carried over into the second half as he drilled two more threes to keep pace with the Lakers. “Our offensive malaise this whole weekend has been very disappointing for all of us,” Bisio said. “There’s just not a shortage of issues that we need to address.” A bucket by Mottashed got CR within five points but the Lakers went on a run themselves to push the lead back to 16. CR refused to roll over. Freshman guard Isai Sow hit a three to bring the Corsairs back within five points with two minutes to play. The lowest CR got the Lakers’ lead was three points but as soon as the Corsairs did that, the Lakers went down the court and got an and-one. Lucas then slipped and turned the ball over for the Corsairs which would seal their fate and earn their second-straight home loss after not having one in three years, falling 75-65. “We haven’t shown the adaptability that this program is known for historically,” Bisio said. “Ultimately, our competitive disposition has been the issue. We can inspire, we can motivate them but ultimately it’s a player’s game and they have to play with the requisite focus and toughness and simply more passion than we’ve exhibited this weekend.” CR didn’t leave the weekend without a win, beating Simpson University’s JV team 98-59 on Sunday to close out the tournament at 1-2, dropping CR to 8-3 on the season. The road doesn’t get any easier for the Corsairs, with the No. 1 team in the state, San Francisco City, coming to town on Friday.
