The crumbling of the vacant commercial chicken house belonging to Hillandale Farms occurred about 7:30 a.m. as workers of a contracting company were inside, CBS 21 reported, citing Pennsylvania State Police. Seven people were taken to the hospital following the collapse and “one person was located deceased at the scene by search and rescue teams,” state police said. “Officials are still at the scene at this time. Please avoid the area,” state Trooper Megan Frazer wrote on Twitter....

The destination is accessible only by foot, so tourists on Hawaii’s Big Island must hike for several miles to reach the unique olive-colored beach. But in recent years, visitors have illegally created their own dirt paths and roads, carving up the sacred nearby landscape, according to SFGate, a San Francisco-based news outlet. “This sacred and treasured place for the people of Kau has been desecrated and exploited by off-road enthusiasts, thoughtless actions of visitors, and sports fishermen despite the presence of iwi kupuna [ancestral bones and burials] and sacred sites,” the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) said in a 2016 resources management plan describing the problem....

A wide-ranging survey conducted among 2,382 U.S. residents by CBS News/YouGov found a 55 percent majority have already been vaccinated or plan to get the shots as soon as they become available. The data shows Americans, particularly Black and Hispanic adults, are increasingly open to vaccination. But about one-third of unvaccinated people said they don’t trust the science behind the vaccines and accused the scientists who produced them of continually getting coronavirus information wrong....

The gulf war was supposed to reshape the Mideast–and on the way, to encourage regional democracy and even the redistribution of wealth. Some change may still be possible; last week Syria agreed to a formula for a Mideast peace conference, a concession that put pressure on Israel to agree to genuine negotiations on the Palestinian issue (page 33). But one year after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait ignited the gulf conflict, most of the same faces and the same tired policies remain....

The development turned to protest when Germany’s players held their hands over their mouths and the country’s football association issued a statement alleging they had been silenced before their opener against Japan. England captain Harry Kane was due to be the first captain to wear the armband, as a symbol of unity and inclusion, in his side’s Group B opener with Iran on Monday. He was to be joined by the captains of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, Wales and the Netherlands in wearing the armband at the World Cup in a move that was praised worldwide....

The report, written by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, “a non-partisan organization dedicated to addressing America’s long-term fiscal challenges to ensure a better economic future,” details how American households spent or saved their three stimulus checks that have been given out so far as part of federal coronavirus relief packages. “The first round of funds was mostly disbursed in April of last year, when the unemployment rate was at its highest (14....

As of Monday afternoon, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Montana are the only states to have not identified any cases of the Omicron variant. However, officials are urging people to prepare as it’s only a matter of time before the variant is detected and it’s possible Omicron could become the dominant COVID variant in the United States. Omicron, first detected in South Africa at the end of November, is believed to be extremely infectious....

Despite being deployed out of position for the most part of the ongoing season, the former Eupen player is the joint top goalscorer in the Belgian top-flight with nine goals. He was dropped to the bench against Ivan Leko’s men on Sunday, and only entered the fray when his side were already three-goal down but that was not enough to spare him Vanhaezebrouck’s wrath. “It does not make much sense to put Onyekuru at the center, but when he is standing there, he does not move, and he just moves to the left… he always let himself down,” Vanhaezebrouck was quoted as saying by Voetbalkrant....

Once considered the most reliable box-office guarantee outside of Julia Roberts, sequels have now become one of the trickiest feats in show business. There’s no guarantee they will fare as well as the first film–and they almost always cost more to make. It can take years to reassemble the creative team behind the original film, and it better be worth the wait. “Nothing kills a franchise quicker than turning out a bad sequel,” says John Davis, who spent three years on this summer’s “Doctor Dolittle 2....

Open surgeries are less common than they used to be due to the creation of “minimally invasive” surgical techniques that involve smaller incisions or even (in some cases) no incision at all. These surgeries use multiple incisions less than an inch in length, with a camera and instruments inserted into the small incisions, and the surgeon is able to watch the procedure on a large monitor as if playing a very technical video game....

This loophole closed April 8 when an SEC proposal passed what essentially permits FBS schools to only conduct on-campus camps or at facilities they normally use for practice or competition. It also prevents FBS coaches from being employed at another school’s camp. Although the proposal awaits final approval by the NCAA Board of Governors, it has been met with criticism by some players, coaches and administrators who argue the change limits recruiting opportunities for players and limits additional income and professional development chances for coaches....

This is the week that changes for Brett Hundley—good or bad. This is where UCLA can become a serious threat in the Pac-12 and national championship races, and he can become a serious threat to win the Heisman Trophy. The rise of UCLA late last season and through this fall has been all about the emergence of one of the game’s most talented (and overlooked) quarterbacks. It was Hundley who nearly did enough last year to lead the Bruins to the Pac-12 title....

The image showed she was with CEO of Discovery Communications David Zaslav, former CEO/Chairman of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein, model Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, who is the brother of senior White House advisor Jared Kushner. The Rising Sun — or “RS” as Geffen likes to call it — is the world’s tenth-largest yacht and it accommodates 18 overnight quests and a staff of 55. It even has a basketball court....

A TikTok user, who calls herself Ying, shared a clip to her account, @ying.hxxx, showing herself walking in the foreground, with her garden shelter in the background. Ying then turns her back to the camera and jumps over the wooden structure, landing behind it. She puts her hands in her pockets and walks away—as she now simultaneously resembles a giant while her back yard appears to be the size of a doll’s house....

The moment was captured on film in the waters near Blanc-Sablon, Quebec, and was shared on TikTok on August 26. “They were acting curious and friendly and came to each side of the boat. As we’ve grown up around them, we knew there was no danger in the interaction,” Chanel Nadeau Beaudoin, who posted the video, told Storyful. Despite their ominous name, killer whales are generally no danger to humans, and have never been recorded killing a human in the wild....

The child, identified only as Mason, first fell ill on Christmas Eve, and felt “a little bit worse” on Christmas day, his mother Terri Thomas wrote on a fundraising page. A few days later, Mason’s parents took him to the emergency room, where doctors diagnosed him with influenza B and sent him home. But Mason’s condition got worse, so his parents took him back to hospital. The child was struggling to get up and walk, his temperature had reached 104 F, and he was suffering from diarrhea, a cough, and sinus pressure....

According to the NWS Weather Prediction Center, while fire conditions will improve over the weekend, air quality alerts over the Pacific Northwest will be issued. This is due to “downward moving air allowing for limited mixing of the air.” “The limited mixing will aid in developing areas of stagnate air prompting air quality alerts over the Pacific Northwest dense fog over the Central Valley of California, and dense smoke advisories over parts of California and Nevada,” the NWS said....
