Trump transition says Cabinet picks, appointees were targeted by bomb threats, swatting attacks

This artist’s rendering shows the proposed design for Pierpont Community & Technical College’s new aviation maintenance training facility. BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WV News) — During the special session held in August, 2023, the West Virginia Legislature passed a bill allocating $25 million that was said to be to construct a new facility to house Pierpont Community & Technical College's Aviation Maintenance Technology program. More than a year later, progress on the facility has yet to begin. But local lawmakers have said the project is still viable and in the works. Gov. Jim Justice signed Senate Bill 1029 into law during a ceremony in Bridgeport on Aug. 17, 2023. West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair, left, and Gov. Jim Justice hold up a signed copy of Senate Bill 1029 during a ceremony in Bridgeport in Aug. 2023. “More employment, more goodness, more opportunity — that’s exactly what is happening right in front of us,” he said. SB 1029 was a $52.7 million appropriations bill containing funding for 14 items. Some of the items are specifically spelled out in the text of the bill, such as $241,570 for the National Youth Science Camp and $500,000 for the Marshall University Research Corporation. The $25 million intended for Pierpont's facility is listed as "Directed Transfer - surplus" that "shall be transferred to the Economic Development Fund." The word "Pierpont" does not appear in the text of SB 1029. However, local lawmakers say that the bill's intent was clear and was Gov. Justice's intentions. Pierpont’s aviation program has long been an important source of workforce development for the aerospace businesses on the campus of North Central West Virginia Airport like Boeing subsidiary Auroa Flight Sciences, Lockheed Martin and MHIRJ. Students can earn a a degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology, allowing them to pursue well-paid aerospace industry careers such as airframe maintenance mechanic, avionics technician and aviation maintenance director. The program is currently operating at capacity and has outgrown its current location. The new facility would allow the program to expand from 130 to 200 students per class, according to officials. State lawmakers are "working diligently to make sure this happens," said Sen. Ben Queen, R-Harrsion. "Obviously, we want this to happen under the Justice administration, but the legislature appropriated the money, so I don't have a real big worry that if the administrations changes, that the Morrisey administration won't follow through with this bill," he said. Queen This project would be one of the first where the state EDA constructs and owns a new building, as opposed to taking over an existing facility, Queen said. Progress toward getting the project started is ongoing, Queen said. "We have been in discussions just the last two weeks and are doing everything we can to make this happen and to have an announcement by the end of the year," he said. Del. Clay Riley, R-Harrison, advocates for passage of Senate Bill 1029, which included funds for Pierpont Community & Technical College, during the Aug. 2023 special session of the West Virginia Legislature. Del. Clay Riley, R-Harrsion, who advocated for the funding on the floor of the State House of Delegates, said the project is in the "design phase." "I hope it will going to bid soon. I don't have an update that it will, but it would be my anticipation that it would," he said. "Obviously, that's a very critical component to North Central West Virginia (Airport) and the employment there. I would hope that whatever the stumbling blocks may be, that they get worked out pretty quickly." C.J. Harvey, director of communications for Justice's office, said he didn't have information to provide about the project's current status, but said the governor "remains very enthusiastic for the aerospace industry's future, particularly in North Central West Virginia, where recent investments are positioning the region as a leader." "Under Gov. Justice's leadership, West Virginia continues to diversify its economy and show the world the monumental changes happening in the Mountain State," Harvey said in an email to WV News. As originally described, the new 70,000-square-foot Pierpont facility will occupy around 6 acres in the new West Virginia AeroTech Park, where the airport's recently-completed terminal building is located. The new Pierpoint facility will occupy around 6 acres in the new West Virginia AeroTech Park, which is adjacent to W.Va. 279. The proposed design features two high bay hangars, aviation-related specialty labs, including shops for turbine and reciprocating engine overhauls, flight controls and hydraulics, lecture classrooms and a learning resource and testing center.

Gorakhpur (UP), Nov 24 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said there are "individuals among us" who are secretly carrying out "anti-national" religious conversions and asked youngsters to be vigilant to put an end to it. Adityanath said this while addressing a special session on the closing day of the three-day 70th National Convention of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) held at the Deendayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University campus. Commending the efforts of Dipesh Nair, co-founder of NGO Teach and recipient of the Prof. Yashwantrao Kelkar Award, the chief minister shared an incident related to "anti-national" religious conversions involving deaf-and-mute children. He recounted that in 2019, following the arrest of two men under false identities for plotting the killing of a seer at a temple, a thorough probe revealed their ties to a religious preacher associated with Batla House in Delhi. Further probe uncovered that their ancestors had converted to Islam three generations ago, he said. Given the significance of the Batla House connection, especially after Delhi Police Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma was killed in an encounter with terrorists there in 2008, the probe was intensified. The investigation revealed that a major racket was being run from the Batla House area in the national capital, targeting deaf-and-mute children for religious conversion, Adityanath said. Similar cases were uncovered in Gurugram and Kanpur, where this conversion network had affected 500 families, he added. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader noted that in this case, the court sentenced seven people, including three key figures responsible for the conversions, to life imprisonment. Recounting this incident, Adityanath said, "There are individuals among us who are secretly carrying out anti-national conversions." He described such activities as the "business of service", emphasising that "it is not only the responsibility of the government or any organisation, but of every vigilant citizen to put an end to it". Referring to the ABVP's motto -- "Gyan, Sheel, Ekta (knowledge, modesty, unity)" -- the chief minister said no country in the world matches India's zeal for knowledge. It is said in the Bhagavad Gita that there is no other purifier in the world like knowledge. To become knowledgeable, the tradition of "rishis" who carried knowledge has been respected here, he added. "Youngsters should embrace science and technology to be able to navigate this dynamic era effectively. There is a need to harmonise knowledge and virtue with an awareness of the rapid advancements in science and technology. Failure to adapt could result in significant challenges and hardships," Adityanath said. He urged students to keep abreast of the times, adapting to technological advancements as the flow of time waits for none. Reflecting on the opposition to computerisation in the 1990s, the chief minister pointed out that while it was once resisted, today we live in an era dominated by e-offices and smartphones. Technologies like electricity, telephone, television, airplanes, microwave ovens, the internet, GPS and social media are part of our daily lives now, he noted. Adityanath said youngsters willing to serve the society and country can use technology to strengthen both. He cautioned them against becoming a victim of demonic mentality. Adityanath emphasised that technology becomes a tool for the public and national welfare in the hands of the virtuous. However, he added that in the hands of "negative people", it becomes a weapon to spread terror and unleash destructive forces. Citing the example of atomic power, he explained that when used properly, it can provide clean, affordable energy, but its misuse can lead to devastating destruction through atomic bombs. "By prioritising 'rashtradharma is supreme', we can pave the way for the welfare of humanity," Adityanath said. Imparting the mantra of national duty to youngsters, the chief minister also outlined the way to overcome obstacles in its path. He emphasised that the challenges facing national duty can only be met through unity. Adityanath highlighted the power of youth energy through examples from both the mythological and revolutionary eras. The chief minister said the ABVP is the world's largest youth organisation and a powerful platform that channels youth energy in the right direction. Citing the provision of 4 per cent reservation for the differently-abled and the recognition of 16 categories of disabilities under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Adityanath highlighted that "Divyangjan" are making remarkable progress in every field today. He emphasised that talent is not determined by caste, opinion or religion and added that even if god has bestowed a deficiency on someone, he has compensated for it in other ways. The programme was presided over by ABVP national president Prof. Rajsharan Shahi.

Make sure you carve out some time for yourself amongst all the Christmas chaos. The festive season often involves more social activities, shopping and travel, which can disrupt regular routines and lead to burnout. Advertisement Having a jam-packed diary of work drinks, Christmas dos and dinner parties might seem like a fun idea, but could quickly lead to fatigue if you don’t take some time for yourself. But what is social burnout? And how can we prevent ourselves from becoming physically and mentally drained amongst all the festivities in the run up to Christmas? What is burnout? “Burnout is often used to describe a chronic build-up of stress without break,” explains Dr Sandi Mann, senior psychology lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire. “This can lead us to ‘burnout’, like a wire that has had too much electricity running through it.” Advertisement This can have both mental and physical consequences. “Signs of social burnout can include physical and mental fatigue, a sense of dread or reluctance towards upcoming events, irritability, difficulty focusing, and a desire to withdraw from social activities,” notes Christine Schneider, clinical psychologist and mental wellbeing coach at Cambridge Therapy Centre. “Those experiencing social burnout may feel overwhelmed by even small interactions, the struggle to feel present, and may experience increased anxiety, especially when thinking about further social commitments.” Here are some ways to prevent social burnout in the run up to Christmas... Advertisement Understand what your own personal preferences are “Accept what you like and dislike, what makes you anxious or what makes you feel good and then act on this,” advises Jan P. de Jonge, psychologist at People Business Psychology. “There is no need to be a social butterfly, no obligation to enjoy that next Christmas work do or New Year’s Eve party. Even if others are, or seem excited about them. Just be you.” Be open about your feelings “Speak to bosses, colleagues and family about only being available to attend the engagements that you are expected at,” recommends de Jonge. “Be open and honest about how you are feeling, and explain that you have too many plans and are feeling drained.” Limit back-to-back events “If possible, avoid scheduling multiple social events in a single day or weekend,” advises Schneider. “Spread out engagements to give yourself time to decompress and process each experience, rather than rushing from one gathering to another.” Advertisement Try meditation If you are getting overwhelmed about your busy schedule, then try meditation to slow down. “Meditation can help you feel calm, relaxed, and discover clarity and peace,” says Nicci Roscoe, holistic health and wellbeing practitioner. “There are various techniques, such as focusing on your breath, listening to soothing music, or visualising serene scenes.” Set time limits “Change how and when you socialise by reducing the length and time of day that you meet,” suggests de Jonge. “Don’t feel pressured to stay for a night cap or dessert.” Plan downtime and stick to it Block out some time in your calendar specifically for relaxation, whether it’s a quiet evening at home or a day to yourself. Advertisement “These breaks can help recharge your energy between social events and keep you from feeling overwhelmed,” explains Ms Schneider. “Treat these as non-negotiable appointments with yourself.” Learn when to say no “Practice saying no to that next invitation if you feel you’re not up to it or just don’t feel like it,” recommends de Jonge. “Accept your own valid argument of needing some downtime.” Prioritise people who make you happy “Say goodbye to ‘energy drainers’, or those individuals who consistently make you feel stressed,” recommends Roscoe. “Energy drainers often project their own issues onto others, which can weigh you down. “Instead, surround yourself with individuals who radiate positive energy. These uplifting people will boost your mood and energy, providing a sense of calm when you need it most.”

Montgomery's 21 lead Southern Miss past Alabama State 81-64MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The plan for the was to bring in Sam Darnold as between and J.J. McCarthy, confident his strong arm and starting experience would sufficiently run a high-caliber offense until the rookie was deemed ready to play. Darnold's performance to date has been much closer to superstar than mere stopgap. “He’s a baller," Vikings safety Harrison Smith said. "He can make stuff happen when he needs to. I know with the outside narrative on him and his path and everything, you might not think that, but ever since he got here, it felt like that was going to happen.” Having led the Vikings (10-2) to their with the go-ahead touchdown pass last week, one game after a stellar overtime drive , Darnold has become one of the darlings of this this season with his success in coach Kevin O'Connell's system after the third overall pick in the 2018 draft started his career in rather bleak fashion. His first year in Minnesota sure has been smoother than what Cousins has in his debut with the . Last week in a to the Los Angeles Chargers, Cousins matched his career high with four interceptions. “I don’t think anybody can put any more pressure on Kirk than he has for himself. He’s carried us through this season when we were figuring out a lot of things on defense,” Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett said. “He’s just having a hard time right now. There’s nothing to say he can’t catch fire and light it up like he’s been doing.” The Falcons (6-6) take their three-game losing streak on the road to face the Vikings, with division races for both teams in full swing. The quarterback contrasts have made this matchup all the more intriguing, with Cousins coming back to the place where he spent the previous six seasons. Cousins has a $25 million salary cap hit this season, the 11th-highest among quarterbacks in the league. Even if the Falcons were to move on in 2026 and swallow the dead money for two more years with eighth overall pick Michael Penix Jr. waiting in the wings, Cousins will carry a $40 million charge in 2025. Darnold’s cap charge is $5 million this season, just 31st on the list. Though he will become a free agent in March, the Vikings structured his contract with void years to spread his cap hit into next season for another $5 million. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick, won't be ready until next year after having surgery to repair the meniscus he tore in his right knee in his first preseason game. Though Darnold has had a couple of clunkers this year, the Vikings still won those games and he's bounced back strong without letting interceptions linger into future decisions. "He’s kind of found a little balance, at least the last few weeks, of ‘When is it too risky?’ and ‘When can I take my shot at something?’” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. The Falcons have seen as much on tape. “I think he’s playing free,” Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates said. “It’s not a lot of complicated throws or anything that he’s doing. I just think that he’s finally able to feel comfortable in himself.” Falcons coach Raheem Morris decided to address the significance of Cousins’ homecoming with the team, bracing for the type of crowd reaction that will only intensify the noise at U.S. Bank Stadium that's already daunting for opponents. Minnesota's defense has thrived this season at home, using the fans to enhance the effectiveness of a disguise-based, aggressive scheme that leads the league with 18 interceptions and has also been adept at rushing the passer and stuffing the run. “The environment they create up in Minnesota is absolutely outstanding,” Morris said. Cousins isn't the only key figure from the Falcons who's well-known to Vikings coaches. Morris was the defensive coordinator in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams when O'Connell was the offensive coordinator and Phillips was the tight ends coach on that Super Bowl champion team. Vikings running back Aaron Jones has fumbled three times in the last two games, losing two of them, but he hasn't lost the confidence of coaches or teammates as evidenced by the pass called for his go-ahead touchdown catch against the Cardinals. Family is a strong support system for him, too, but sometimes that means tough love. His mother, Vurgess Jones, let him have it after the game when they talked about the turnovers. “I was like, ‘I’ve got to learn from it,'” Jones said. “She was like, ‘You didn’t learn last week?'” He has matched his career high in 2024 with five fumbles and three lost, a fact not lost on a Falcons defense that's aggressive with dislodging techniques despite only four recovered fumbles in 12 games. “You can see it all over the tape: Those guys are coaching it," Phillips said. Vikings outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard, who was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month after racking up eight tackles for loss in November, carried his pass-rushing mojo into December with a in the final minute to preserve the victory over Arizona. Greenard has 10 of the team's 39 sacks. “How many times this year has he affected the quarterback, drawn a penalty, sacked the quarterback, strip-sacked like last week in these critical moments where you need your best players to go make those plays?” O'Connell said. “He’s done it time and time again.” Falcons running back Bijan Robinson set a career high last week with 26 carries. He had 102 yards rushing and was again a significant part of the passing attack with six catches against the Chargers. “I just do whatever I can to help us as a team,” said Robinson, who’s fifth in the NFL with 1,277 combined yards from scrimmage. “I just trust whatever they have in the plan.” AP NFL:
