  • Court rules United Airlines can put workers with vaccine exemptions on unpaid leave

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 20:44:00

    A federal court in Texas has handed United Airlines a win, for now. A group of United employees sued the airline over its policy that puts unvaccinated workers on unpaid leave if they have been granted religious or medical exemptions to its vaccine mandate. The employees claimed it would cause them irreparable harm. The group, which includes two pilots, a flight attendant, and an aircraft technician, had asked the court to block the policy . On Monday, U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman expressed sympathy toward the plaintiffs but denied their motion for a preliminary injunction. "The Court appreciates the difficulty conscientious employees face when asserting their religious rights," he wrote. "But that difficulty does not demonstrate irreparable harm." The decision covers roughly 2,000 United employees. United says it will work to identify roles for these workers that don't put them in close contact with customers. They can apply for and work in those roles until they can safely

  • Storied General Electric plans to split into 3 public companies

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 18:26:00

    Updated November 9, 2021 at 8:43 AM ET The storied American company General Electric will divide itself into three public companies focused on aviation, healthcare and energy. The company, founded in 1892, has refashioned itself in recent years from the sprawling conglomerate created by Jack Welch in the 1980s to a much smaller and focused entity. It was heavily damaged by the financial crisis. With its announcement Tuesday that it will spin off its healthcare business in early 2023 and its energy segment including renewable energy, power and digital operations in early 2024, General Electric may have signaled the end of the conglomerate era. "By creating three industry-leading, global public companies, each can benefit from greater focus, tailored capital allocation, and strategic flexibility to drive long-term growth and value for customers, investors, and employee Chairman and CEO Lawrence Culp Jr. said in a prepared statement. Culp will become non-executive chairman of the

  • Police say one man is tied to multiple killings in Missouri and Kansas

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:15:00

    Authorities in Missouri arrested a man they suspect is tied to as many as six killings in the St. Louis area and Kansas City, Kan., officials announced Monday. Perez Reed was charged Saturday with two counts of first-degree murder and assault in shootings that occurred in the St. Louis County area in September, prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell said during a press conference on Monday. Reed is also facing three counts of armed criminal action. Authorities say Reed shot a man in the St. Louis County area on Sept. 12 multiple times in the chest. That victim suffered serious injuries and "permanent disability," Bell said. Police say Reed also fatally shot 16-year-old Marnay Haynes on Sept. 13 and Lester Robinson on Sept. 26 — also in St. Louis County. "The defendant was arrested in possession of a .40-caliber handgun that matched shell casings located at the body of all three victims," Bell said. That same gun matched casings at other shooting scenes in St. Louis County as well as in

  • NBA stars are missing 3-pointers this season. Is a new ball really to blame?

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 17:01:00

    The NBA has been tough to watch this year. The league shooting percentage is the lowest it's been in more than 15 years, and its three-point percentage is the worst this century. Everyone from Jayson Tatum to Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal can't seem to find the basket. My fantasy basketball team is in shambles. My team is shooting 43% from the field and my high school friends are roasting me in the group chat. Something's gotta give. There have been several theories for the shooting woes, including the NBA's new refereeing rules. But the most intriguing one: the new Wilson basketball is to blame. Players cry foul After 38 years, the NBA and its longtime provider of orange and leather, Spalding, parted ways, and the NBA inked a new deal with Wilson. With this comes a new game ball. Wilson is adamant their ball is a virtual replica of the Spalding one, but some players don't agree. "It's a different basketball. It don't have the same touch and softness that the Spalding ball had,"

  • In Jupiter's swirling Great Red Spot, NASA spacecraft finds hidden depths

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 16:46:00

    Jupiter is well-known for being the biggest planet in our solar system, and it's also home to the biggest storm. It's called the Great Red Spot, an enormous vortex that has been swirling for centuries. It's bigger than our own planet, and yet we don't know much about it. Until now, scientists could only observe the spot from afar. But thanks to a NASA spacecraft launched a decade ago, we're finally getting a look inside Jupiter's storm. The Great Red Spot is like a storm here on Earth, but supersized. "It's basically clouds," says Paul Byrne, a planetary scientist at Washington University in St. Louis. Really, "it's not all that dissimilar to the kinds of things we know as cyclones or hurricanes or typhoons on Earth." At 10,000 miles across, the Great Red Spot is the largest storm in our solar system and has been continually observed for around 200 years, but it's been around for much longer. (Compare that with big storms on Earth, which generally last a few days or weeks at most.) "We

  • A secret tape made after Columbine shows the NRA's evolution on school shootings

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 16:00:00

    Soon after the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, senior leaders of the National Rifle Association huddled on a conference call to consider canceling their annual convention, scheduled just days later and a few miles away. Thirteen people lay dead at a high school in Colorado. More than 20 were injured. Images of students running from the school were looped on TV. The NRA strategists on the call sounded shaken and panicked as they pondered their next step into what would become an era of routine and horrific mass school shootings. And in those private moments, the NRA considered a strikingly more sympathetic posture toward mass shootings than the uncompromising stance it has taken publicly in the decades since, even considering a $1 million fund to care for the victims. NPR has obtained more than 2 1/2 hours of recordings of those private meetings after the Columbine shooting, which offer unique insight into the NRA's deliberations in the wake of this crisis — and how it has

  • Ya Tseen: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 16:00:00

    The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space. "It's Indigenous Peoples' Month every month, don't you forget, mark your calendars," says Nicholas Galanin. "I think it's important right now that we uplift and acknowledge Indigenous people beyond holidays or months, allocated time." Galanin, who's Tlingit and Unangax̂, leads Ya Tseen and brings his perspective as an Indigenous artist to every aspect of the band's music and artistry. Even the backdrop of their Tiny Desk (home) concert is a house screen — the largest of its kind in Southeast Alaska — carved by Will Burkhart and Galanin (as an apprentice). The video itself was filmed at the Sheet'ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi community house, which is modeled after customary Tlingit Long Houses. Minutes can quickly turn into an hour

  • Want a good, therapeutic cry? Pick up 'You've Reached Sam'

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 16:00:00

    Here we are, almost at the end of 2021. It's been a tough couple of years, for everyone. We've all lost so much. It is said that the physical act of crying can help the healing process ... which is the main reason why I chose to pick up Dustin Thao's beautiful debut novel You've Reached Sam . I knew full well that I was signing up for a tragic love story, and that's exactly what I got. So now I am here to warn you: This book will absolutely make you cry. Make sure you've got a box of tissues handy, and I mean a full box. But if you are anything like me, you will not regret the time spent with this gorgeous story. The heartbreak starts in Chapter One: Sam Obayashi is dead, his young life cut short by a tragic automobile accident. His girlfriend — 17-year-old Julie — is having an incredibly hard time coming to terms. Sam was on his way to pick her up that night, so of course she blames herself. As do others. She honestly doesn't know how to function at school or in her life without him.

  • Blocked for now, Biden's vaccine-or-test rule for workers faces uncertain future

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 04:35:00

    Updated November 8, 2021 at 9:25 PM ET It took just a day-and-a-half for President Biden's vaccine-or-test rule covering 84 million workers to be blocked by a federal appeals court. Now, the Biden administration is gearing up for a fight. In a court brief filed late Monday, administration officials including Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda warned that maintaining the stay "would endanger many thousands of people." "With the reopening of workplaces and the emergence of the highly transmissible Delta variant, the threat to workers is ongoing and overwhelming," the administration argued, while dismissing the legal objections that led to the stay as lacking merit. "Defending a policy is not a new thing," said White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre earlier on Monday. "The administration clearly has the authority to protect workers, and actions announced by the President are designed to save lives and stop the spread of COVID-19." Citing an ongoing death toll of approximately 1

  • Virginia school revisits its history as a polio vaccine trailblazer with COVID clinic

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 04:01:00

    Franklin Sherman Elementary made history as the first school to administer the polio vaccine to its students in 1954 — a fact that First Lady Jill Biden embraced on Monday as she visited the school's COVID-19 vaccination clinic to encourage pediatric vaccinations for children ages 5-11 years old. Biden joined U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in a visit to the McLean, Va., learning center. Their appearance followed the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week that young children get a low dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Biden, herself an educator, attended the event as part of a nationwide effort to get the nation's eligible children vaccinated against the coronavirus. Children are less susceptible to serious infection from the virus — which is responsible already for the deaths of more than 750,000 Americans — but still stand the risk of hospitalization or even death from the disease. Children can also contract the virus and pass

  • The Astroworld tragedy forever changed how one music critic thinks about festivals

    Copyright 2021 NPR. To see more, visit AILSA CHANG, HOST: While rapper Travis Scott performed song after hit song at his Astroworld Festival in Houston for a crowd of about 50,000, hundreds of fans were crushed, stomped on, struggling to breathe, and at least eight people died. Scores were injured, and police in Houston have opened an investigation. Joey Guerra was there as a fan, but also as a journalist. He's a music critic for the Houston Chronicle, and he joins us now. Welcome. JOEY GUERRA: Thank you. Thank you for having me. CHANG: Well, thank you for being with us. You wrote an essay about how you learned about the events. You were at the concert, but I understand - it sounded like you didn't understand the full details of what happened until a while after you got home. Can you just talk about how you learned and what went through your mind as you were learning about what had happened earlier that night? GUERRA: I got home, and then I came to sit down to start writing. As soon as

  • A study links facing discrimination at a young age with future mental health issues

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 03:58:00

    A new study suggests that people who face discrimination at a young age are more likely to develop behavioral and mental health problems later in life. And the risks may be cumulative; those who faced more incidents of discrimination had an even higher risk of future problems, researchers found. The UCLA study , published in the journal Pediatrics on Sunday, looked at health data for 1,834 Americans who were between the ages of 18 and 28 when the study started. The authors said it was the first time researchers had probed the effects of discrimination on the same group of young people during their transition to adulthood. "With 75% of all lifetime mental health disorders presenting by age 24, the transition to adulthood is a crucial time to prevent mental and behavioral health problems," Yvonne Lei, a medical student at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the study's corresponding author, said in a press release. The data came from the University of Michigan's Transition to

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 03:37:26

    I recently sat down with WEAA’s Director of Underwriting and Development, Desmond Barlow to discuss an upcoming holiday event for WEAA members. In an effort to creatively show appreciation for donors, the underwriting department is embarking on a new benefit for members during WEAA’s Fall Fund Drive. Desmond, I hear you have some exciting things planned for WEAA’s Fall Fundraiser. What are you most excited about? Great question. I’m most excited about giving WEAA’s long term members something different. WEAA’s audience has been giving to the public radio station for so many years and now I think it’s time they are able to get something beyond the great music and fascinating talk shows that WEAA offers. Like what... a tote bag? Well…yes. We are working on some reusable grocery bags but we’d like to fill them. But what really has me excited is our “Turkey Fry” happening on Thanksgiving Day! The event will take place from 8am-3pm at Camden Yards. Do people eat fried turkey for

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 03:18:00

    Updated November 8, 2021 at 7:06 PM ET The Democratic-led House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has issued a new round of subpoenas to several ex-Trump administration officials and allies, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney John Eastman , who wrote a memo outlining ways former Vice President Mike Pence could reject Joe Biden's electoral count victory. In all, the panel issued six new subpoenas, including demands for records and testimony. Aside from Flynn and Eastman, subpoenas were issued for former Trump spokesman Jason Miller , ex-campaign manager William "Bill" Stepien , former New York Police commissioner and ex-felon Bernard Kerik , and former Trump campaign aide Angela McCallum . "In the days before the January 6th attack, the former President's closest allies and advisors drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes," the committee's

  • Migrants aided by Belarus try to push across Polish border

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 02:07:00

    WARSAW, Poland — Hundreds if not thousands of migrants sought to storm the border from Belarus into Poland on Monday, cutting razor wire defenses and using branches to try and climb over them. The siege escalated a crisis along the European Union's eastern border that has been simmering for months. Poland's government said it had rebuffed an illegal "invasion" and claimed the situation was under control. The Defense Ministry posted a video showing an armed Polish officer using a chemical spray through a fence at men who were trying to cut the razor wire. Some migrants threw objects at police. Video footage from Belarusian media showed people using long wooden poles or branches to try to get past a border fence as police helicopters circled overhead. "A coordinated attempt to massively enter the territory of the Republic of Poland by migrants used by Belarus for the hybrid attacks against Poland has just begun," a spokesman for Poland's security forces, Stanislaw Zaryn, said in a

  • Live Nation, a company behind Astroworld, has a long history of safety violations

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 01:15:00

    Rapper Travis Scott was the most recognizable figure associated with Astroworld, the Houston music festival that ended in tragedy Friday evening when eight people died and hundreds more were injured. Also among the event organizers, however, was the conglomerate Live Nation, the world's largest live-events company — and one that has already been linked to hundreds of deaths and injuries in the past 15 years. Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Live Nation Worldwide have been connected to about 200 deaths and at least 750 injuries since 2006, the Houston Chronicle reported on Monday after searching past court records, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports and news coverage. NPR has also found numerous OSHA citations against Live Nation. In a message posted to social media on Saturday, the company wrote: "Heartbroken for those lost and impacted at Astroworld last night. We will continue working to provide as much information and assistance as possible to

  • DEA takes aggressive stance toward pharmacies trying to dispense addiction medicine

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 01:11:00

    When Martin Njoku saw opioid addiction devastate his West Virginia community, he felt compelled to help. This was the place he'd called home for three decades, where he'd raised his two girls and turned his dream of owning a pharmacy into reality. In 2016, after flooding displaced people in nearby counties, Njoku began dispensing buprenorphine to them and to local customers at his Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy in Fayette County. Buprenorphine, a controlled substance sold under the brand names Subutex and Suboxone, is a medication to treat opioid use disorder. Research shows it halves the risk of overdose and doubles people's chances of entering long-term recovery. "I thought I was doing what was righteous for people who have illness," Njoku said. But a few years later, the Drug Enforcement Administration raided Njoku's pharmacy and accused the facility of contributing to the opioid epidemic rather than curbing it. The agency revoked the pharmacy's registration to dispense controlled

    weaa.org Tuesday, 9 November 2021 00:53:00

    Updated November 8, 2021 at 1:15 PM ET Monday is International Tongue Twister Day and if you're looking for a mouthful, you could celebrate by talking about a sheikh who isn't feeling well. He's sixth in line and has some livestock, it seems, and one of his sheep is also under the weather. To explain all this you could say: The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick. That phrase was featured by Guinness World Records as the most difficult tongue twister in the English language in 1974, the last year the organization tracked tongue twisters. It's still pretty hard to say today, but you can try a hack recommended by Eliza Simpson, a dialect coach in New York. "I look at the tongue twister and I think of an image for each word," Simpson told NPR's Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition . "And then as I'm going through the tongue twister, it's like, I'm in my mind literally swiping through flashcards of images. I go from image to image to image.
