Coping with suicide hasn’t been the only struggle for parishioners. Personal experience with mental illness has prompted two church members to action. While the trend is too new to be reflected in hard numbers, mental health advocates and faith leaders say that a growing number of houses of worship across the nation are ministering to those with mental health challenges. Few have discerned the church’s call to nurture body, soul and mind as dramatically as Christ Church. After graduating from Yale and Furman Universities with degrees in organ performance and music theory, Ben came to North Carolina to serve as Organist and Choirmaster at First Presbyterian Church in Belmont. In 1992, he became Director of Music and Organist at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church where he was the Founding Director of The Choir School at St. Peter’s.
CONNECTING PEOPLE TO GOD AND EACH OTHER
In the 1700s and early 1800s, Quakers opened rural “retreats” for the mentally ill — forerunners of psychiatric hospitals. Six weeks before his death, he suffered a football-related concussion, which caused daily headaches. He had to step away from football, and he missed three weeks of school, further fraying his social network. In 2019, the church created the SOS group, which meets twice a month for an hour and a half, longer if necessary. The half-dozen families involved politely declined a reporter’s request to sit in, asking for privacy. While the initiatives are focused on the congregation, the community is welcome to attend the classes and programs.

It has helped one member establish a nonprofit residential mental health center and another launch a one-woman crusade to educate people about bipolar disorder. It has hosted two appearances by bestselling author Brené Brown to share her message that asking for help is a sign of strength. In addition to the SOS group, the church has invested in mental health support and awareness in a number of ways.

A tenured music historian and writer, David’s love of music led him to develop a meaningful relationship with The Beach Boys, curating and reporting on their history for over 30 years. In 2021 he reunited The Beach Boys and their children when co-producing a re-recording of the group’s 1970 recording “Add Some Music to Your Day” with an accompanying music video that he directed to benefit Feeding America. David brings the same passion and commitment to his administrative role at Christ Church.
In addition to her strong passion for outreach, Joan likes being outdoors while hiking, gardening, and participating in community service. She also enjoys traveling, cooking, reading, and spending time with her two cats. From the beginning, the church has raised the question of how we relate to each other, Kinghorn said.
We worshiped on the lawn when weather and COVID-19 rates permitted. On Good Friday, families participated in Stations of the Cross outdoors, aided by audio recordings for each station available on our app. Christmas Eve and Easter pilgrimages provided opportunities to visit the sanctuary, beautifully decorated and filled with music. Some of these creative new events will surely become beloved traditions.
We give every family options so they can make informed and reasonable choices. We welcome your phone call 24 hours a day, with absolutely no obligation. No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed.

After years of use, the apartments began to fall into disarray. At this time, Lawrenceburg native, Mr. Sherrell Wells and his wife Brenda, purchased the property and began the process of restoring the home. Not only did they put a lot of effort into the main property, but they transformed the previous six car garage into three more apartments.

Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body; it also slows down the decomposition process and enhances the appearance of the body damaged by traumatic death or illness. Embalming gives time to the family of the deceased to arrange a service, and allows the family the option of having an open-casket viewing. I recently used their services with the passing of my mother in August. The prices and services were wonderful and made this difficult time for our family so stress-free.

"If you go to a Korean barbecue restaurant and they don't cook the meat in front of you, that's a huge red flag," Kim said. "One, I question the quality of the meat because they don't bring it out to you raw and show you. Two, it goes against the custom of Korean barbecue." "Coming to work here was the first time it really made sense," Kim told Business Insider. "I'm cooking the food I grew up eating. It's the food my parents ate. It's the food I eat when I go home. It's just who I am."

The best Korean BBQ restaurants in Los Angeles
When an influx of Korean barbecue spots began opening up in Korea during the late 20th century, restaurateurs turned their attention to quantity and affordability to stay competitive. It quickly shot up in popularity, drawing in daily crowds of customers looking to enjoy limitless cuts of meat for a flat fee. Naengsam (frozen pork belly) gets a bad rap for low quality, but that’s not always the case if you know where to go. Nari is a classic example, serving nothing but frozen pork belly for over 30 years in Itaewon. Good-quality fresh pork is frozen and sliced thinly right before serving to maximize its flavors and ensure fast, even cooking, creating a different mouthfeel and taste than fresh pork.

It sneaks in a lot of Korean flavor profiles, like scallions and ginger. We went to Juk Story [a cafe serving Korean rice porridge in Annandale], and we got a little bit of Annandale in the book. Angel is somebody who is really unique in that he’s not Korean American, but he has this fluency in the cuisine unlike anyone I know. Danny is somebody who I think is really important, because he’s really done the work. He’s really somebody who I feel has become a mentor to many in the country, not just obviously the East Coast.
The secret to its scrumptiousness lies in the marinades and quick grilling, which seals in the meat’s natural sweetness and savoriness. It can also be stir-fried with some vegetables for another delicious way to enjoy it. The BBQ process often also involves marinating the meat before grilling in a blend of delicious sauces like soy sauce, sesame oil, and Korean pear, which will bring out one of the best flavors you’ll ever experience. Fried pork cutlets were first introduced in Korea while it was under Japanese occupation in the 1930s. The first Japanese iteration was born from French influence during the Meiji Period, which spanned from 1868 to 1912. The dish was based on côtelette de veau, a breaded and fried piece of veal, which the Japanese reinterpreted as tonkatsu.
Dak & Bop’s Museum District location was one of the first restaurants to bring extra-crispy Korean-style fried chicken to the inner loop, but since it shuttered in 2020, the Heights location carries on the tradition. Find juicy, double-fried wings and tenders, bulgogi fries, kimchi bisque, and pair your meal with beer or booze — Dad & Bop has a full bar. Located in front of Sinsa Station, Ggupdang specializes in pork shoulder aged for 15 days. The meat, quickly grilled on binchotan by professional staff, is tender and every bite bursts with juice. Don’t skimp on their famous rice cooked in dashi, which you can punch up with wasabi for maximum flavor.
If you’re in the market to buy cuts of meat for a Korean BBQ, there are a few places you can get it. One after another, giant pork cutlets come streaming out of the kitchen at Koreatown’s new sit-down donkatsu restaurant, Lasung House. It’s the latest opening from hospitality group On6thAvenue, which also runs Korean barbecue hotspots Quarters and Origin in Chapman Market. Served pounded thin, and crispy with frizzled edges, these eight-or-so-inch long cutlets almost extend past the edges of the plates meant to carry them. In Los Angeles, chef Akira Back also aimed to bring a twist to the Korean steakhouse concept.

It is also nearly a requirement to put some in your ssam to add that much-needed kick of spice. KBBQ Sauces, on the other hand, are sesame oil, doengjang (soybean paste), gochujang (red pepper paste), and ganjang with different proportions of salt, pepper, and garlic depending on the group’s preference. Modern Korean barbeque can be traced back to the cooking practices of the Maek Tribe of the Goryeo era (37 BC to 668 AD), when they would skewer meat and roast it over a fire. This element is exactly why eating K-BBQ is popular in countries that use drinking as a way to bond with others (like Philippines or the US, for example).
A bit challenging to make, the process covers the bland taste eggplants are notorious for, and offers a delightful blend of garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochugaru. Some of the sides served with KBBQ may include glass noodles, cucumbers, and the world-famous kimchi. Keep in mind that the variety of ban chan served will depend on the season and how formal the setting of the restaurant is. All you need to make bulgogi at home is a mix of soy sauce, sugar, sesame seed oil, garlic, ground black pepper and pear juice. However you can’t use just any soy sauce and pear juice in your bulgogi recipe. Use the ones you find at your local H-mart to get closer to the flavor of the bulgogi marinade people are raving about (see below).
Before joining Washingtonian in July 2016, she was Food Editor and Young & Hungry columnist at Washington City Paper. My impression is Northern Virginia has one of the more historical Korean-American communities in the country. Chicago used to have it, but everyone’s left and moved way out in the suburbs and dispersed.
Koreans also love wrapping their meat with leafy vegetables into tavos called ssam, and most restaurants provide napa cabbage, dried seaweed, or lettuce for this. Lately, people are particularly enamored of perilla leaf because of its minty licorice taste that really goes well with meat. While an outdoor grill doesn’t offer the same communal dining experience as a traditional Korean BBQ grill, we still use our Weber BBQ occasionally to cook marinated Korean BBQ, which tastes equally incredible.
Karne offers premium cuts of in-house dry aged beef and reserve-cut Japanese wagyu grilled table-side alongside stunning plates of seafood, raw bar offerings, and caviar service. The appetizers are not worth skipping — from the yellowtail crudo with scallops and shrimp in a yuzu dressing to the rice wine poached mussels with toasted milk bread. Reserve the multi-course chef’s tasting for an immersive deep dive into Korean flavors. With an extensive 100-plus bottle wine list and a diverse cocktail menu, the drink options are equally up to par with the food.
As long as you decide on the right restaurant, the wait is always worth it. To make a proper ssam, on top of a crisp piece of lettuce, layer a perilla leaf, then a small or medium-sized piece of meat, two different pieces of ban chan, and a sauce. Eat this lettuce wrap whole with your hands, and then repeat; I've always affectionately called these Korean tacos.
If you’re craving something savory, this is a great option and one of the most common outside of Korea. Plus, out of all the Korean BBQ meats and sauces you've probably heard of, this one is the most legendary. Plus, Korean BBQ sauces are quite distinctive, and each special blend tastes sweet, salty, and spicy to varying degrees. The most common ingredients in KBBQ sauces are soy sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, pear juice, and brown sugar, and at the bottom of the post I'll show you how to make the best KBBQ sauces at home. In this article we cover the basics of making Korean BBQ at home, from the meats & marinates to the setup, sides, and sauces you'll want to prepare ahead of time. Also, please remember to consider others when dining together and make sure that everyone has enough food.
If the pieces are too big for a single bite, cut them smaller using kitchen scissors. You may think that having another full meal after eating Korean BBQ is strange, but it is actually a great way to cool down after the hot BBQ and to wash off the greasy taste in your mouth. You won’t really feel the need for Korean side dishes when you eat Korean barbeque at home, but they greatly enhance the overall culinary experience. Although the majority of this guide’s instructions are geared towards indoor BBQ using a Korean BBQ grill, you can still cook your meat on an outdoor grill by following your manufacturer’s instructions.
YoonCy is where affordability meets kalbi short ribs with the most blessed kiss. This is the go-to joint for simple Korean barbeque that brings tradition to traditional fast food orders.

Run by the same team behind Park’s, KTeam BBQ takes over the space that once held Ong Ga Nae, which quietly closed last year. The star of the show, however, is the thinly sliced frozen pork belly, a cut popular in South Korea. Paired with supplemental myeonglan paste (pollack roe) or the classic trio of spicy soybean paste, garlic and jalapeño, each lettuce or perilla-wrapped bite will transport you to Seoul. This popular Korean barbecue restaurant is one of the only places in town that uses smokeless charcoal grills to power their grilling experience. Meats range from prime kalbi short ribs to ribeye bulgogi – all grilled table-side and paired with banchan. Handam offers various all-you-can-eat options that proves to be a great value for diners.
The team behind Michelin-recognized Liu’s Cafe opens an ode to modern Korean favorites
Newbies to Korean cuisine or Korean cooking tend to overload their lettuce and dip their ssam into too many of the Korean barbecue sauces, but this can destroy the taste and the experience. As for grilling the meat, only offer to cook and serve others if you know what you are doing. Just once or twice is okay, and if it’s already cooked and you’d like to keep it warm, carefully place it on the side on your grill. When you're at a restaurant in Korea, ring the bell for service if you’re too shy to yell “jeogiyo,” though sometimes servers get too busy to mind the pings and neglect your table until someone yells for them. Oh, and it is totally okay to ask for more ban chan and to have your grill pan changed if it starts charring.

As for pork, get sliced pork belly that isn’t cured or smoked; either fresh or frozen will work. In other words, bacon is not samgyupsal, even though it is the exact same cut of the animal. As for chicken, for easier grilling, it is recommended to choose boneless cuts when doing at-home KBBQ. This radish salad pairs well with bibimbap (mixed rice with meat and assorted vegetables), and it adds a slightly sweet and peppery flavor to your meat. Whether you go for beef or pork, these are a slightly pricier option than samgyeopsal. Just keep in mind that you’re paying for a thicker slab of meat with a rich, delicious flavor and the typical Korean marinade.

Obviously the most famous drink on this list, soju is a clear liquid usually in a green bottle, made from rice and grains. While most say it has a ‘clean’ taste like vodka, I believe it is a bit sweeter and less powerful than vodka, which makes it a great base for a variety of soju cocktails. A generous amount of this oil enhances the taste of your meat, especially if you add salt & pepper to the mix. As for the other, that’s known as jin ganjang, which is chemically processed to make the flavor of soybeans and wheat stronger.

In addition to meat, the restaurant employs masters of naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) and gomtang (beef bone soup, milky white from a long simmer) with decades of experience. Chickens are prepped each morning and grilled right on the table over charcoal, tightly trapping all their juices inside. Go for the pristine salt-grilled version if you really want to taste the quality of the chicken, or try the sauce-covered version for some heat. The chicken gizzards and hearts are also delicacies, though they’re only available in limited quantities. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a chance to try the grilled chicken neck, a tender showstopper with just the right amount of fat. To make this savory dish, sirloin, rib-eye, or brisket beef are most traditional, though any marinated cut could work.
"There are some restaurants where you walk in, and it just doesn't seem like a barbecue restaurant," Kim said. "Flashing strobe lights and that type of stuff, clearly that model is successful, and to each their own. But, for me, that would be a red flag." Kim is now the senior director of culinary operations for Baekjeong, a Korean barbecue restaurant with seven locations in California and Washington — and an eighth opening this summer in Los Angeles' famed Koreatown neighborhood.
No matter what grill you use for your Korean BBQ party, you’ll want to keep a window open because things will get smoky. Additionally, grilling can cause oil splashes onto adjacent items; thus, it would be prudent to cover those objects with a tablecloth or remove them before beginning to grill. In the U.S., Korean grocers such as H-Mart carry these types of meats.
This is a crunchy Korean side dish that isn’t spicy and is a great option for those who cannot tolerate the heat. Although, personally, I feel that this seasoned bean sprout dish is best served with gochugaru to add a little kick and flavor to your meat. Mostly seen in KBBQ places during fall, this side dish adds a sweet, juicy, and somewhat peppery taste to your meat. In Korea it’s seen as a refreshing treat to reset your palate after eating too much meat.
Beautifully marbled meat cuts and entrancing searing won’t fail to transport your entire being to the meat heavens, and that’s not just some obscure slang for welcomed cholesterol. Affordability and bona fide Korean BBQ flavor make a delicious rendezvous at Yummy Korean BBQ.

Gen Korean BBQ House, a Korean barbecue restaurant with 30 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, has appeared in Union Square. The full-service, all-you-can-eat menu (for around $30) is located at 150 E. 14th Street, near Third Avenue, formerly the longtime home of 5 Napkin Burger.
"We've spent so much time sourcing quality meat; we want to ensure you're eating the meat when it's perfectly cooked," he said. "People wait a long time to get into our dining room because we're embraced by the community so strongly, so we don't want you to have to wait and then pay for your meal — and also have to cook it." Gen Korean BBQ House offers a premium dining experience without forgetting the communal objective of Korean BBQ eating. My sated excitement is convinced that you’ll be pleased with both menu and restaurant manner. Founded by Korean immigrant Micky Kim in Annandale, Virginia in 2007, this Asiatown restaurant is best-known for its menu of affordable grilled meats. Located in Diho Square, the restaurant has a colorful and kitschy interior and blasts K-Pop on the speakers.
This longstanding Korean barbecue joint serves up meaty classics like bulgogi, galbi, and samgyeopsal (three-layered pork belly), made to be shared table-wide. Order the kimchi jigae stew or kimchi pajeon, and keep it all to yourself. Dishes like bulgogi date back centuries, while depictions show noblemen gathering outdoors in the 18th century to grill meat over an open fire while drinking and reciting poetry.
Finish with instant fried rice, which servers stir-fry with leftover meat and side dishes in front of your eyes. For beef, opt for the sirloin, short ribs, chuck eye, and finger short ribs. But if you’re gunning for bulgogi, make sure that your home grill is compatible for cooking this delicate slice (like a griddle surface or a grill pan). You'll also need to prepare your marinade ahead of time, to flavor the meat overnight. This popular Korean BBQ meat blends boneless & diced chicken in gochujang mixed with an assortment of vegetables (mostly cabbage), tteokbokki, and noodles. In Korea most restaurants, like Yoogane Dakgalbi, have circular pans that can hold tons of melted cheese on top once you're done with just the marinated meat.
There aren’t any gimmicks at Nam-Yeongdon, but customers wait patiently for hours to sample an ensemble of prime-quality pork grilled over charcoal and paired with flights of house-made banchan. The space has been serving pork and noodles since 1982, but it experienced a boom in popularity after owner Jung Jaebum rebranded his late father’s business in 2017. The wait always stretches into hours, proving the basics, done right, still command a crowd. While most of the menu is focused on the different cutlets, Lasung also offers a full lineup of side dishes to accompany the meal.

It served as a parking lot for Emirates' double-decker Airbus A380s and other aircraft during the pandemic and slowly has come back to life with cargo and private flights in the time since. It also hosts the biennial Dubai Air Show and has a vast, empty desert in which to expand. The number of passengers flying through DXB surged last year beyond its total for 2019 with 86.9 million passengers. Its 2019 annual traffic was 86.3 million passengers. The airport had 89.1 million passengers in 2018 — its busiest-ever year before the pandemic, while 66 million passengers passed through in 2022.

A semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, a .40-caliber handgun and additional magazines and ammunition for the weapons were found at the scene. Twelve CMPD officers fired their service weapons during the shooting. All twelve officers were placed on administrative leave as police conduct an internal investigation. "He's going to be sorely missed in this law enforcement community," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Johnny Jennings said at a press briefing Tuesday. "And he was one of the ones that you, the kind of officer that you want on your team. And as he demonstrated yesterday, he's the kind officer you'd want to respond when you need help."

Aispuro, who has been with the department for 19½ years, put out an emergency broadcast that included a description of the Camry, Luna said. That led authorities to a house in La Puente, where several people were detained but not arrested, and ultimately released, Luna said. Police say the victims’ homes and vehicles were shot into multiple times. Once at the scene, police found a victim with a gunshot wound. Medic transported the victim to Atrium Main where he was pronounced dead.

I’ve been made aware of the active shooter incident on Galway Drive in East Charlotte and am in touch with local law enforcement and the Mayor’s Office. I am praying for the injured officers and their families. These officers died as heroes and made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our state. We remember them, honor their service, send our deepest condolences to their families and friends, and pray for healing for all affected by this tragic incident. Officials later clarified one additional officer from an assisting agency was also struck by gunfire, bringing the total of law enforcement officers injured during the incident to eight. When officers approached the deceased suspect, additional gunfire began coming from inside the residence.
The Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, headquartered in Charlotte, comprises 70 federal, state and local agencies collaborating to capture crime suspects. Rissa Reign was cleaning her house when she heard the first shots. There was a pause, followed by a second set of shots and then a third. Armored vehicles smashed into it, ripping off windows and entire doorways that were left broken. Several armored vehicles were parked across yards, some with tree branches dangling off them. Jennings said Monday that a second shooter was suspected of firing at police.
During a Monday evening press briefing, authorities said the recipient of the warrant was the one who initially opened fire. That suspect, who was later identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes, Jr., was killed in the shootout, police said. — Four law enforcement officers were killed, and four other officers were wounded by a suspect opening fire in a warrant-related gunfight in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday afternoon. Marshals Service, said six deputies have been fatally shot in the line of duty since 2011, not including those killed Monday. “While we will generally reserve comment until after an investigation has concluded, know that we grieve for the brave law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday and to the families they leave behind,” the statement said. – Local officials and community members came together Tuesday night to honor the four law enforcement officers who were killed when gunfire erupted at a house in North Carolina, where authorities were trying to serve a warrant.

There is no suspect information at this time, but the case is active and ongoing. The California Attorney General announced Sunday his office will investigate the fatal shooting of an allegedly armed man who police said broke into a Long Beach home. Officials do not yet know if the victim and suspect knew each other, or if incident happened inside or outside of the townhomes.
— Three US Marshal officers and a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer are dead after a shooting rampage at an East Charlotte home Monday afternoon. Eyer was recently honored as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg officer of the month, partly for working to get guns off the streets. The chief said he was killed while responding to help others who were facing gunfire at the scene. Governor Roy Cooper wrote in a social media post that he was in contact with law enforcement and had offered the assistance of state resources. Investigators are looking into how Hughes acquired the guns and whether other shooters were involved, Jennings said Tuesday.
Hughes’ criminal record in North Carolina goes back more than a decade. It includes prison time and convictions for breaking and entering, reckless driving, eluding arrest and illegally possessing a gun as a former felon, according to state records. An AR-15 is able to penetrate traditional body armor and allowed the shooter to “unload several rounds towards our officers within a matter of seconds,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings.

The congressional hearing on Columbia University's response to antisemitism has now been adjourned. His lawyer has accused David Weiss, the special counsel overseeing the yearslong case, of “bowing to Republican pressure” by bringing the charges. “There is no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen,” the president’s son said in those remarks. Further angering Republicans, Hunter Biden did come to the Capitol on the day specified by the subpoena — but not to testify. Capitol complex — a couple hundred feet away from the awaiting GOP investigators — and delivered a rare public statement defending his business affairs and castigating the yearslong investigations into him and his family. Hunter Biden’s only remarks to reporters were when asked why he had his father on speaker phone several times during business meetings.

Bipartisan senators reach a general agreement on updating Electoral Count Act
To review, a national commission empowered to investigate the very questions House Republicans now regard as "crucial" was killed by Senate Republicans — without a whimper from House Republicans. The Republicans who now complain these hearings are occurring in an election year have chosen to forget the national commission originally proposed would have long since been done by now — if not for Senate Republicans killing it. Capitol police officer Caroline Edwards, who will testify Thursday night, has arrived at the hearing.
Ivanka Trump says she 'accepted' Barr's conclusion that election wasn't stolen
Rep. Liz Cheney — one of two Republicans on the select committee, and a member of House GOP leadership before she was stripped of her role — had explicit words for members of her party during her opening remarks. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Tuesday that California Highway Patrol officers had arrested a gang member in San Onofre who shot a deputy in the back as he sat on his department motorcycle at a West Covina stoplight. Ahead of Wednesday's hearing, several Jewish faculty members at Columbia and its sister school, Barnard College, warned against the "weaponization" of antisemitism on college campuses. "And we advocate for a campus where all students, Jewish, Palestinian, and all others, can learn and thrive in a climate of open, honest inquiry and rigorous debate." "I thought the witnesses approached this hearing today in a very candid and sincere way. It was clear they recognize this is a very real challenge on campus and it's something colleges across the country are wrestling with." "It's impossible to win a hearing, but it's easy to lose a hearing and end up on TV," said Christopher Armstrong, a lawyer at Holland & Knight who advises clients on how to respond to congressional investigations.
Proud Boys leader and 2 associates plead not guilty to seditious conspiracy
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney said that the committee will be focused on "getting to the truth" of what happened on Jan. 6 in a nonpolitical, nonpartisan way, while speaking to reporters after the first hearing. "As you know several committees [have] had opportunities to talk to leadership in the Capitol police, and the Metropolitan police, but this was an opportunity we felt necessary in order to find out what those individuals who had to fight the rioters on Jan. 6 had to endure," he continued. Chair Bennie Thompson told CNN that the select committee will “soon” issue subpoenas, but he declined to say who would be targeted.
Officer Edwards said "never" had her patriotism been called into question before Jan. 6
This was largely due to tough questioning from Stefanik, who refused to accept the presidents' vague, prepared answers. "I hope that we continue to center the experiences of Jewish students on these other campuses and continue to work to fight antisemitism all across the country." They said dozens of students have been disciplined and students who participated in unauthorized events have been suspended.
Trump’s alleged gag order violations continued to lurk in the background of the trial. Judge Juan Merchan held a hearing Tuesday on some of those alleged violations, with another hearing scheduled for next week based on other statements. But heading into the weekend, Merchan still hasn’t ruled on the matter, so the defendant hasn’t faced even minimal consequences for his apparent serial violations of a court order. In the trial that’s happening, Manhattan prosecutors gave their opening statement and called their first witness, David Pecker. The former National Enquirer publisher testified that he agreed with then-candidate Trump and fixer Michael Cohen to look out for negative stories impacting the 2016 campaign. Pecker is an important first witness, setting the stage for the Stormy Daniels hush money payoff at the center of the case.
The closely watched hearing included several tense exchanges between members of Congress and Columbia representatives. All four Columbia officials testifying before Congress unequivocally stated that calls for the genocide of Jews violate the university’s code of conduct. David Greenwald, the co-chair of the board of trustees at Columbia, told Stefanik Massad's comments were "abhorrent" and he should be removed from the position.
Also, federal courts have repeatedly upheld the power and legislative purpose of the select committee, despite repeated Republican and Trump White House attempts to suggest it is illegitimate and lacks congressional standing. "That time when I talked about falling behind MPD's line, I remember because I had been kind of shielded away because I was holding those stairs — so I wasn't able to see what was really going on over here," she said. The deadly attack injured more than 100 police officers, halted Congress' counting of the Electoral College votes for more than five hours and forced lawmakers into lockdown when pro-Trump rioters overran the US Capitol Police. U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who the committee says was the first law enforcement officer injured by rioters storming the Capitol grounds, and Nick Quested, a filmmaker who documented the Capitol that morning, will serve as witnesses during the prime-time hearing that begins at 8 p.m.
Vice Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney said one of her fellow Republicans, Rep. Scott Perry, sought a pardon from Trump after Jan. 6, 2021. In recorded video testimony, Marc Short, Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, said Pence was ultimately more loyal to the Constitution than he was to President Trump amid pressure to overturn the Electoral College vote. Michael Luttig, a former federal judge who advised Pence's team, will testify that Eastman "was wrong at every turn." Since then, McCarthy has downplayed Jan. 6, and said "everybody in the country" bears some responsibility for what happened that day.
The White House has dismissed the impeachment inquiry as baseless and worked to focus the conversation on policy instead. Hunter Biden’s legal team, on the other hand, has gone on the offensive against GOP critics, most recently filing suit against the Internal Revenue Service after two of its agents raised whistleblower claims to Congress about the handling of the investigation. Garland then said repeatedly that he purposely kept the details of the investigation at arms length, to keep a promise not to interfere. The central line of questioning in Republicans’ arsenal surrounded allegations that the Justice Department interfered in the yearslong case into Hunter Biden and that the prosecutor in charge of that case did not have the full authority he needed to bring the necessary charges to the younger Biden. She is currently based out of Austin, Texas, and writes and edits about local, state and national politics. In 1800, our country almost came unglued following the election that eventually elevated Jefferson to the presidency, which ended Federalist rule.
Whatever precise form that immunity takes remains to be seen in the court’s decision. The ruling might not theoretically save Trump from a trial in the federal election interference case, because at least some of the acts described in the indictment couldn't possibly be deemed "official." But the delay might help Trump anyway. Further litigation over applying the justices’ new immunity test to Trump’s case could add even more delay to the already-delayed case.
"You are right," Columbia trustee Claire Shipman responded to one lawmaker, "we have a moral crisis on our campus." When Suzanne Bonamici, a Democrat from Oregon, asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Columbia's code of conduct, all four Columbia representatives provided a clear "Yes it does." “Legislators who are genuinely concerned about social media platforms’ practices have better options at their disposal, and we continue to urge lawmakers to lean in to those rather than undermining the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans,” Johnson said. Since lawmakers introduced their latest proposal targeting the app last month, the company has launched a major counteroffensive against the effort, enlisting scores of users through pop-up notifications to bombard lawmakers with calls voicing opposition to the legislation.
Miller said he believed the Trump's speech earlier in the day did have a "cause and effect" impact on those who listened and later stormed the Capitol when asked if he thinks Trump was responsible for the riot. "I think I'd like to modify my original assessment, based on-," Miller said in today's hearing. The case — the only one addressing the attack of Sicknick, who later died — has taken on new meaning in recent weeks after the prosecutors characterized it as a key moment where protesters coordinated to overcome police in a way that allowed the Capitol to fall.
Republicans have also focused a large part of their investigation on whistleblower allegations that there has been political interference in the long-running Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden. “Our job is not to take orders from the president, from Congress, or from anyone else, about who or what to criminally investigate,” the attorney general said. Republicans on the committee — led by Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman — set the tone with accusations that the Justice Department is favoring the Biden family, while targeting his opponent, Trump. WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans clashed with Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, accusing him and the Justice Department of the “weaponization” of the department’s work in favor of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter. Advocates for reforming the Electoral Count Act of 1887 argue that it's outdated and doesn't provide clear guidance about the role that Congress plays in certifying election results.
Finally, US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell asked the members of the committee to give law enforcement the "tools" to prevent future attacks like Jan. 6. US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said he echoed the sentiment of the other officers and added that a "hitman" sent the insurrectionists to the Capitol that day. He called for the committee to conduct "an investigation into those actions and activities which may have resulted in the events of Jan. 6," and whether or not there was "a collaboration between those members, their staff, and these terrorists." Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger applauded the officers who testified today and other officers who "fought like hell to preserve our democracy" on Jan. 6. "We represent the good side of America, the people that actually believe in decency, human decency, and we appeal to just the good in people, and that's what we want to see," the officer added.
CHP officers apprehended Raymundo Duran, 47, Monday evening on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of a loaded firearm at a San Onofre inspection point in a silver Toyota Camry. Investigators connected Duran to the West Covina shooting after initially booking him as a suspected drunk driver, Luna said. Before the hearing, in a letter to the campus community, Shafik said she was prepared to "share what we have learned as we battle this ancient hatred at Columbia University." The December hearing with the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn saw high tension and headline-grabbing consequences.
Officer Edwards describes Jan. 6: "It was carnage, it was chaos"
CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane walks us through it in the video below. He will also say the hearings aren't intended to just look backwards, adding that democracy "remains in danger." "Justice for me for Brian would be having Donald Trump in prison, but it doesn't seem like that ever happens," Garza said. "The man seems to escape justice time and time again. But maybe today would change that. That would be a wonderful thing. I don't know. We'll see." Over the next few weeks, the committee will remind Americans what happened that day, but also that democracy is still in danger, Thompson suggested.
Democrat Bennie Thompson and Republican Liz Cheney lead the Jan. 6 committee
"The world is watching what we do here. America has long been expected to be a shining city on a hill. A beacon of hope and freedom." "January 6 and the lives that led to insurrection have put two-and-a-half centuries of constitutional democracy at risk. The world is watching what we do here," he said. "But for Donald Trump, that was only the beginning of what became a sprawling, multi-step conspiracy" aimed at overturning the election, Thompson said.
Committee plays some never-before-seen footage of Capitol assault
"Donald Trump lost the presidential election in 2020. The American people voted him out of office," Thompson said. Committe vice chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney said in her opening statement that more than a dozen former White House staffers will show that Trump wanted Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged. According to on-camera testimony, Trump aide Jason Miller, who was in the Oval Office at the time, said the campaign's lead data analyst told Trump he would lose. In recorded video testimony, Trump's daughter and longtime White House aide Ivanka Trump said she accepted Bill Barr's analysis that Trump allies claims of mass voter fraud were inaccurate. "If Dr. Eastman and President Trump's plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution," he wrote in March. "If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself."

"Chairman Thompson is the chair of one of the committees of jurisdiction, Homeland Security, and this was an assault on our homeland security and he commands a great deal of respect in our caucus and I'm very proud of what he is doing," Pelosi toldNPR. Prosecutors said they're still negotiating with Congress to get copies of the committee's transcripts of witness interviews, but those may not be made public until September when the trial is under way. The conspiracy to thwart the will of the people is not over,” he will say, according to excerpts of his remarks. He’ll also meet with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, who has raised questions about the Biden’s election win as recently as Tuesday. Bolsonaro has been casting doubt on Brazil’s election system ahead of his own tough reelection campaign this fall — a system that U.S. officials have said is fair and democratic.
He said both lawmakers and the representatives from Columbia had the benefit of studying that December hearing and having ample time to prepare – and it showed. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, is done with arguments for the term and now has a thick stack of appeals to decide. Beyond Trump’s weighty case, the justices have many crucial disputes to resolve by their unofficial late June deadline on abortion, guns and much more. If they wait until the end to decide Trump v. United States, that will push a pre-election trial in Washington to at least the precipice of the November election, further emphasizing that the defendant is running to stay out of prison.
Months later, she was removed from her leadership position in retaliation for her sustained criticism of Trump's election falsehoods and role in the riot. The testimony was played as part of a video featuring Marcus Childress, one of the lawyers for the panel. Membership for the Proud Boys increased "exponentially" after former President Donald Trump told the far-right group to "stand back and standby," according to video testimony from a Proud Boy displayed at the hearing. "I couldn't believe my eyes," she recalled of the scene, which she compared to a war zone. "There were officers on the ground. They were bleeding, they were throwing up ... I saw friends with blood all over their faces, I was slipping in people's blood. I was catching people as they fell. It was carnage, it was chaos. I can't even describe what I saw."
“Prior to Jan. 6, were you asked or instructed by President Trump to take any action at the department to advance election fraud claims or to seek to overturn any part of the 2020 election results? DC Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone asked the committee to investigate the organizing of Donald Trump's "stop the steal" rally and the "violent political rhetoric" leading up to and during the event. GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger reacted to threats of potentially being punished by Republican leadership for accepting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's appointment to the committee. The committee’s next hearing is scheduled to take place on the morning of June 13. Witnesses for the second and third and fourth hearings — scheduled for next week — have not yet been announced. Cheney, for her part, is breaking with her own party in participating in the committee in the first place.
Lynch pushed further in today's hearing, saying that Miller's answer in the hearing was also a reversal of his written testimony that was submitted. "Mr. Rosen, was Officer Sicknick killed by rioters with a fire extinguisher?" he asked in an apparent reference to early, incorrect reporting that Sicknick was assaulted on scene with a fire extinguisher. Miller also invoked the Kent State massacre on Wednesday as he justified why he didn’t believe the US military should have responded to the Capitol insurrection, saying he sees the nation’s armed forces “as a last resort” when responding to protests. “Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures.
He says he'll be looking to see if administrators follow through with the things they committed to in the hearing, like holding professors accountable and educating students about antisemitism. He hopes that kind of follow through will help improve the campus climate at Columbia, and elsewhere. They frequently interrupted the Columbia representatives to ask what disciplinary actions had been taken, and whether the professors were still teaching at Columbia. In response, the college leaders vowed to hold faculty members accountable for antisemitic speech. Wednesday's hearing was reminiscent of another antisemitism hearing, held in December, when House Education Committee members grilled the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania. The president of Columbia University, Nemat Shafik, testified before the House Education Committee alongside a Columbia University law professor and two trustees.

Former Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, in a conversation with a USA Today columnist published Thursday, said there were "more than a few people" in the administration having conversations about potentially invoking the 25th Amendment. Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney said the American public will hear about members of Trump's Cabinet discussing the "possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment." The 25th Amendment provides the Cabinet a path to replace the president. "Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. There will be a day when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain," she said.
In fact, Cheney said there were Republican members of Congress who sought pardons for their actions on Jan. 6. Former Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller told House lawmakers during his public testimony on Capitol Hill that there were several factors that influenced his reluctance to deploy military forces to the Capitol on Jan. 6. Rosen also told lawmakers he did not speak with Trump that day, also citing the fact he did not need any authority to respond with federal resources. In a GOP news conference Tuesday morning designed to push back against the House Select Committee hearing on the Jan. 6 riot, Republicans criticized Speaker Nancy Pelosi for rejecting two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s five picks to serve on the committee. Thompson told reporters the select committee could have another hearing in August while the House is scheduled to be in a seven-week recess. The only other Republican lawmaker on the committee, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois called out other members of his party, saying "we need to reject those that promote" conspiracies about the insurrection.
The musical "Hamilton" gave the rancor a resonant beat and lyrics, but the nation damn near collapsed amid intrigue, recrimination and scheming over who would succeed George Washington. Greg Jacob, who served as chief counsel to Pence, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will also appear at subsequent hearings. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and a leading conservative jurist who advised then-Vice President Mike Pence, confirmed to CBS News that he has accepted an invitation to appear before the committee next week. "It will be an honor to testify before the January 6th committee," he told CBS News. "January 6th and the lies that led to insurrection have put two and a half centuries of constitutional democracy at risk," he'll say.
The big ship was originally scheduled to leave port on Nov. 1, which was first postponed to Nov. 11 and then Nov. 30. Tuesday evening, guests who were to set sail on Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Mariner the next morning learned that the sold-out sailing was being massively altered. Many are stuck in a tough position, having spent tens of thousands of dollars on the now-canceled voyage that may take months to get reimbursed — and, in some cases, having sold or rented out their houses ahead of the cruise.
Three-year cruise around the world canceled, passengers awaiting refunds
“There’s a whole lot of people right now with nowhere to go, and some need their refund to even plan a place to go — it’s not good right now,” a passenger who wanted to remain anonymous told CNN. Life at Sea Cruises, a division of Miray Cruises, wrote to its passengers that it was “facing challenges” because of investor withdrawals, according to a memo to customers written by its parent company’s CEO and obtained by Business Insider earlier this week. Most of the passengers paid Miray tens of thousands of dollars to secure their cabins, which ranged from $90,000 to $975,000 for a suite. After canceling, Miray said it would offer full refunds to all passengers, but two of the repayment deadlines passed and only four of more than 100 passengers have received partial refunds. After more than a month of missed deadlines for refunds, a group of hard-hit passengers who signed up for the failed Life at Sea cruise is pursuing legal intervention. Guests whose cruises were impacted were given full refunds of their fare and a 10% discount in the form of a future cruise credit.

A statement posted on Miray Cruises' Instagram page in Turkish on November 27 stated the Life at Sea Cruises trip was postponed because the number of passengers was below expectations and had no mention of the company rescheduling because it couldn't acquire a ship. "Unfortunately, there are simply too many international ports of call affected by the ongoing complexities of COVID-19, which has sadly led to this decision," Cunard said in a statement when it canceled its 2022 around-the-world sailings on Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria back in June. He said all passengers would be given full refunds in installments between December and February. Hotel accommodations in Istanbul will also be covered until Dec. 1, and “subsequent travel expenses to your chosen destination will be reimbursed,” Ugurlu said in his statement. Aboard the yet-to-be-acquired vessel, the company had promised staterooms with per-day costs cheaper than many mass-market world cruise itineraries.

Television’s first Robin Hood was Richard Greene in The Adventures of Robin Hood. And let’s not forget Errol Flynn, with Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian, dashing about in Michael Curtis’s 1938 swashbuckler, The Adventures of Robin Hood. At 48,075 gross registered tons, the Seven Seas Mariner only carries 700 guests and 445 crew, giving the ship a guest-to-staff ratio of 1 to 1.6. Like other Norwegian Cruise Line Holding brands, Regent Seven Seas Cruises participates in the Sail Safe program that requires guests to be fully vaccinated to cruise, along with being tested at the terminal prior to embarkation. The company also vowed to refund those who signed up for the cruise, whose costs ranged from $29,999 a year for a standard interior cabin all the way up to $109,000 per year for a luxurious suite with a large balcony. "Because as you know, three-year cruises is a mega project. The reason for this is our vessel capacity—needed to exceed more than 600 cabins. And right now, we only have 104 cabins."
Miray and Life at Sea CEO Kendra Holmes resigned from the company in November, according to CNN, which also reported that she is behind a new start up world cruise under the HLC Cruises banner. Harrison told me that Clary relishes the idea of playing Robin Hood, though he won’t be as strapping as those who have played the outlaw on the big screen. I’m thinking of Kevin Costner in Prince of Thieves, Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott’s gritty Robin Hood, and Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn in Robin and Marion, playing the famous lovers in their twilight.
The company had been trying to buy AIDAaura, a 20-year-old ship, which was sold in November to another cruise company. Now, less than two weeks before its maiden voyage, Life at Sea has acknowledged to anxious passengers that there is no ship, and that the once-in-a-lifetime trip has been canceled, CNN reported. Passengers booked on the canceled sailing can either choose a refund or shift to the 2023 voyage on MSC Magnifica, which will sail to the same ports in the same order and on the same dates as MSC Poesia was scheduled to do in 2022. Cruisers who choose the latter option will also be allowed to book a free cruise for departure any time between Jan. 1 and May 3, 2022. Life At Sea Cruises had a three year cruise planned, but postponed the trip in November, weeks before the ship was set to depart on its maiden voyage, after delays and logistical challenges involving the ship itself. Royal Caribbean was among the first to halt operations, canceling trips on its Serenade of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, and Jewel of the Seas ships, which were initially meant to sail on January 29, February 20, and April 26, respectively.

As vacation-goers around the world settle back into daily life after exciting holiday excursions, one group of ambitious adventure seekers is just getting started. Life at Sea did not immediately respond to additional questions about the guest’s experience.
Customers will receive a 100% refund or "lift and shift" to a "coastal" sailing, which is on the Celebrity Millennium. "We regret having to cancel our guests' long-awaited vacations and appreciate their loyalty and understanding. Our top priority is always the well-being of our guests, our crew and the communities we visit," the company wrote in a statement earlier this month. "Royal Caribbean noted that cancelations were "a result of the ongoing COVID-related circumstances around the world, and in an abundance of caution." On Tuesday, 78 would-be Life at Sea passengers sent a letter to Markenzy Lapointe, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, asking him to investigate whether Miray, a Turkish cruise company, defrauded them out of millions of dollars. They claim that the company collected an estimated $16 million and used it toward a deposit to acquire a new ship that it did not end up purchasing. Regent is a popular operator for world cruises because of its smaller ships, which allows them to get into ports some of the bigger lines can’t.
Year World Cruise Abruptly Canceled 2 Weeks Before It Was Scheduled to Set Sail
In his message, Ugurlu also confirmed that the cruise was canceled because the company could not afford the ship. Since embarking on the high seas three weeks ago, the hashtag #ultimateworldcruise has garnered over 150 million views on TikTok, with videos from passengers giving followers a behind-the-scenes look at the 274-day circumnavigational adventure. A November 19 statement to customers from Miray's CEO Vedat Ugurlu apologized for the inconvenience, but said the company was "actively working on creating alternative plans for the future,ensuring an unforgettable experience for our valued community." According to CNN, the new HLC company would get a “temporary ship” to sail for a few months before acquiring a permanent vessel.
A three-year, around-the-world cruise that was supposed to set sail next week has been cancelled at the last minute, leaving passengers who sold or rented out their homes and made their way to the starting port stranded and very upset. "This was an extremely difficult decision but a prudent one given the current business environment and recent developments with our parent company, Genting Hong Kong," president of Crystal Cruises Jack Anderson said in the statement. "Crystal has been synonymous with luxury cruising for more than 30 years and we look forward to welcoming back our valued guests when we resume operations. We wish to thank our guests and travel advisors for their incredible support during these ongoing challenging times." The following day, Life at Sea’s former CEO, Kendra Holmes — who had resigned just days before the sale fell through — informed guests that the cruise was canceled.
On Nov. 19, two days after Holmes’ announcement, guests received another message, this time from Vedat Ugurlu, the owner of Miray International, who also stated that the cruise would not be departing, per CNN. The company has said it will make refund repayments in monthly installments starting mid-December and will complete them in late February, according to CNN. It has also offered to pay for accommodations until December 1 and flights home for anyone who has already traveled to Istanbul.
Despite most passenger TikTok videos showing smooth sailing on the voyage so far, a logistical mix-up did temporarily impact one Ultimate World Cruise passenger. The vessel completing the tall task is the Serenade of the Seas, which has a guest capacity of 2,146 in 1,073 rooms, according to the cruise line's website. Some amenities onboard the ship include panoramic views, a mini-golf green and a variety of cuisines. Vedat Ugurlu, CEO of Life at Sea’s parent company Miray Cruises, said the cruise was facing “challenges due to investor withdrawal” in a statement shared with USA TODAY. “We both wanted to see the world, and this seemed like a cheap way to do this,” he said. Prices started at just under $30,000 per year for each guest based on double occupancy when the cruise was announced earlier this year, including meals, drinks, Wi-Fi and more.
Travelers booking the sailing will receive 15 free shore excursions, a complimentary beverage package and a 30% discount on onboard laundry services. Port closures in particular don't bode well for cruise lines' expansion of itinerary offerings in at least the early part of next year. Currently, most major cruise lines that have resumed operations have been limited to destinations such as the Mediterranean, the United Kingdom, the Greek Isles, the Caribbean and the Bahamas, Mexico and the U.S., including California and Alaska. The day-to-day routines -- and tribulations -- of world cruise passengers have fascinated TikTok users, who appear to be invested in the trip. Royal Caribbean's nine-month cruise, known as The Ultimate World Cruise, left Miami on Dec. 10 for a massive global excursion that has gone viral on TikTok, as passengers share their unique experiences with the rest of the world.
Even as this news was coming down, passengers who were booked on eight other ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings fleet also found themselves dealing with changes. In their cases, however, they found that their sailings had been entirely canceled. Instead, Life at Sea planned to buy a larger ship, the AIDAaura, which was set to be renamed the MV Lara, per CNN. After telling its passengers that the sale was taking longer than expected, however, news broke that another cruise company, Celestyal Cruises, bought the ship on Nov. 16. On Nov. 17, Life at Sea revealed to passengers that the inaugural cruise was canceled, and that it had no ship, CNN reported. Many of those are not yet open to U.S. travelers, and a restart for the formerly lucrative Australia and New Zealand cruise market is nowhere in sight.
The credit can be used on any of Norwegian’s published itineraries through Dec. 31, 2025.

Life at Sea Cruises’ three-year cruise scheduled to set sail this month has officially been canceled.
According to reports from ABC News and CNN, some passengers are now faced with what to do next after having sold their homes to embark on the three-year journey. In a statement to the news outlet, Miray Cruises owner Vedat Ugurlu said the cruise wasn't canceled but postponed until May 2024. The three-year cruise was initially set to depart from Istanbul, Turkey on November 1. Shortly before that date, it was postponed to November 11 and relocated to Amsterdam, then rescheduled to November 30. The already-sold-out 119-night 2023 world voyage on MSC Poesia will include 53 port calls in 33 countries, such as Costa Rica, Australia, Japan, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Jordan, Curaçao, Mexico, Greece and the U.S., including Hawaii. The cruise went on sale Thursday, with fares starting at $16,029 per person, double occupancy, for an inside cabin.
