The government provided no other information.The suspect has fought a prolonged court battle to prevent his return to the United States since he was arrested in December 2021 at a Glasgow hospital, where he was being treated for COVID-19. Rossi, who insisted he was an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight and had never set foot on American soil, repeatedly appeared in court in a wheelchair using an oxygen mask and speaking in a British accent. The government signed the order after Judge Norman McFadyen of Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Aug. 2 ruled that the suspect could be extradited, saying he was “as dishonest and deceitful as he is evasive and...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Linda and it's about neighbors. Here's her email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. My husband and I are close to the couple (Mark and Lisa) that live across the street. We’ve known them since we moved in four years ago, and the four of us are fairly tight. Recently the Ring camera we have facing the street (and their house) has recorded several visits by a young woman with a clipboard. She’s never visited when both of them were home, just when Mark was alone. Mark lets her in, she stays for an hour or two, and leaves. My husband and I didn’t think much of it until the last time, when the woman was leaving, but leaned back inside the door and, to our surprise, gave Mark a kiss before heading down the sidewalk to her car. My husband and I don’t know what to do with this, as we like this couple a great deal. Do we ignore it, though we’re not sure we can ac...

Ask Amy: Member of group builds bridge to nowhere

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:14:49 GMT

Dear Amy: I am in a group of four women who have played Bridge together almost every week for more than 25 years.A year ago, one of the group abruptly cut all of us off. Through a series of texts and emails she told us that she can’t be friends with us anymore.She wouldn’t make time to see us in person.She seems to be particularly mad at me. I emailed her trying to find out what had happened.She started with a paragraph about all my wonderful qualities, but then she said that we can no longer be friends.She wrote that I’ve done “1,000 things to hurt” her over the years, but she wouldn’t tell me what they were.Her son is getting married soon and she has invited the other two members of our group, but not my husband and me.As far as I know, she doesn’t see or talk to the other two, either. I’m quite devastated by this and communicated my feelings.I’m very hurt that the other two are going to the wedding when I’ve been so slighted and hurt.I don’t know if I can keep the hurt from affec...

President Tokayev: Kazakhstan ready to increase oil supplies to Germany

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:14:49 GMT

Kazakhstan is ready to increase oil supplies to Germany, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said last week after talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin. Tokayev said Kazakhstan has shipped 500,000 metric tonnes of crude to Germany's Schwedt refinery via Russia's Druzhba pipeline this year, sales that began after Berlin decided to stop buying Russian oil. "At our German friends' request, I have confirmed our country's readiness to increase oil supplies and make them long-term," Tokayev told a briefing. He did not say by how much such shipments could increase. "Kazakhstan is an important partner for us to broaden our supply channels, for example in the import of crude oil, and to make us independent of Russian energy supplies," Scholz told the same briefing. "We also look to Kazakhstan as a partner when it comes to critical raw materials to shape the energy transition. And we agree that the necessary transport routes must be expanded more quickly." Tokayev also said Ge...

Fashion a spot for self-expression

Maybe there’s a space at your current home where everyone automatically gathers. Often, that space is in or near the kitchen. Sometimes it’s at a bench on the front step or porch.In an apartment or condo, it might be on a balcony or near the living room window. At another person’s place, it might be on the old set of chairs just outside the patio door.There might also be a spot or two where family members can sit quietly.And for the new-home buyer — even when choosing a floor plan already designed by the builder — these spots can be just about anywhere in the home. That’s especially true when these places are planned out during those months of waiting for construction to finish.To get ready, think of the purposes these nooks might have. One family might like a place to do puzzles and play board games. Others might want a space to listen to music or play musical instruments. Maybe karaoke is your family’s game?Perhaps some people like a cozy, well-lit spot for reading, creative writi...
