New Mexico man awarded $412 million medical malpractice payout for botched injectionsRivers United Head Coach, Finidi George, believes his team deserved more than the solitary point secured in their NPFL Matchday 14 clash against Sunshine Stars of at the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium Ijebu Ode on Wednesday, reports. Finidi’s men took an early lead courtesy of Timothy Zacharia’s third-minute goal, one of the fastest in the 2024/2025 domestic top-flight season so far. Reflecting on the match, the former Nigeria winger and ex-Super Eagles coach expressed frustration over his team’s inability to capitalise on their early dominance. “I think it was a very good game. They (Sunshine Stars) played to win, and we also played to win,” Finidi said after the feisty contest. “In the first half, we had a couple of decent chances we should have converted. If we had scored a second goal to make it 2-0, the game would have been different. But in football, when you don’t take your chances, you get punished. “When we scored the first goal, we tried to hold on to it,” he added. Rivers United clung to their one-goal advantage until half-time, but Sunshine Stars levelled the score on the hour mark through Promise Awosanmi. The match ended with both teams sharing the spoils. Commenting on the equaliser, Finidi, a UEFA Champions League winner with Ajax, was critical of his team’s defensive lapse during the free kick.

Biden welcomed 2,500 guests to the South Lawn under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom” and sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency after a half-century in Washington power circles. “It’s been the honor of my life. I’m forever grateful,” Biden said, taking note of his impending departure on Jan. 20, 2025. That's when power will transfer to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, the man Biden defeated four years ago and was battling again until he was pressured to bow out of the race amid concerns about his age and viability. Biden is 82. Until Inauguration Day, the president and first lady Jill Biden will continue a busy run of festivities that will double as their long goodbye. The White House schedule in December is replete with holiday parties for various constituencies, from West Wing staff to members of Congress and the White House press corps. Biden relished the brief ceremony with the pardoned turkeys, named for the official flower of the president's home state of Delaware. “The peach pie in my state is one of my favorites,” he said during remarks that were occasionally interrupted by Peach gobbling atop the table to Biden's right. “Peach is making a last-minute plea,” Biden said at one point, drawing laughter from an overflow crowd that included Cabinet members, White House staff and their families, and students from 4H programs and Future Farmers of America chapters. Biden introduced Peach as a bird who “lives by the motto, ‘Keep calm and gobble on.’” Blossom, the president said, has a different motto: “No fowl play. Just Minnesota nice.” Peach and Blossom came from the farm of John Zimmerman, near the southern Minnesota city of Northfield. Zimmerman, who has raised about 4 million turkeys, is president of the National Turkey Federation, the group that has gifted U.S. presidents Thanksgiving turkeys since the Truman administration after World War II. President Harry Truman, however, preferred to eat the birds. Official pardon ceremonies did not become an annual White House tradition until the administration of President George H.W. Bush in 1989. With their presidential reprieve, Peach and Blossom will live out their days at Farmamerica, an agriculture interpretative center near Waseca in southern Minnesota. The center's aim is to promote agriculture and educate future farmers and others about agriculture in America. Separately Monday, first lady Jill Biden received the official White House Christmas tree that will be decorated and put on display in the Blue Room. The 18.5 foot (5.64 meters) Fraser fir came from a farm in an area of western North Carolina that recently was devastated by Hurricane Helene . Cartner’s Christmas Tree Farm lost thousands of trees in the storm “but this one remained standing and they named it ‘Tremendous’ for the extraordinary hope that it represents,” Jill Biden said at the event. The Bidens were also traveling to New York City on Monday for an evening “Friendsgiving” event at a Coast Guard station on Staten Island. Biden began his valedictory calendar Friday night with a gala for hundreds of his friends, supporters and staff members who gathered in a pavilion erected on the South Lawn, with a view out to the Lincoln Memorial. Cabinet secretaries, Democratic donors and his longest-serving staff members came together to hear from the president and pay tribute, with no evidence that Biden was effectively forced from the Democratic ticket this summer and watched Vice President Kamala Harris suffer defeat on Nov. 5. “I’m so proud that we’ve done all of this with a deep belief in the core values of America,” said Biden, sporting a tuxedo for the black-tie event. Setting aside his criticisms of Trump as a fundamental threat to democracy, Biden added his characteristic national cheerleading: “I fully believe that America is better positioned to lead the world today than at any point in my 50 years of public service.” The first lady toasted her husband with a nod to his 2020 campaign promise to “restore the soul of the nation,” in Trump’s aftermath. With the results on Election Day, however, Biden’s four years now become sandwiched in the middle of an era dominated by Trump's presence on the national stage and in the White House. Even as the first couple avoided the context surrounding the president's coming exit, those political realities were nonetheless apparent, as younger Democrats like Maryland Gov. Wes Moore , Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Biden's Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg not only raised their glasses to the president but held forth with many attendees who could remain in the party's power circles in the 2028 election cycle and beyond. ___ Associated Press writer Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

(AP) — Jurors in New Mexico have awarded a man more than $412 million in a medical malpractice case that involved a men’s health clinic that operates in several states. The man’s attorneys celebrated Monday’s verdict, saying they are hopeful it will prevent other men from falling victim to a scheme that involved fraud and what they described as dangerous penile injections. They said the jury award for punitive and compensatory damages is likely the largest in history for a medical malpractice case. The award follows a trial held in Albuquerque earlier this month that centered on allegations outlined in a lawsuit filed by the man's attorneys in 2020. NuMale Medical Center and company officials were named as defendants. According to the complaint, the man was 66 when he visited the clinic in 2017 in search of treatment for fatigue and weight loss. The clinic is accused of misdiagnosing him and unnecessarily treating him with “invasive erectile dysfunction shots” that caused irreversible damage. “This out of state medical corporation set up a fraudulent scheme to make millions off of conning old men by scaring them with a fake test,” Nick Rowley, the man's attorney, wrote in a social media post that detailed the verdict. Rowley went on to say that the scheme involved clinic workers telling patients they would have irreversible damage if they didn't agree to injections three times a week. NuMale Medical Center President Brad Palubicki said in a statement issued Tuesday that the company is committed to high-quality and safe patient care. He said NuMale disagrees with the verdict and intend to pursue all available legal remedies, including an appeal. A message seeking additional comment was left Wednesday with the company and its attorney. NuMale also has clinics in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Nebraska, North Carolina and Wisconsin. According to court records, jurors found that fraudulent and negligent conduct by the defendants resulted in damages to the plaintiff. They also found that unconscionable conduct by the defendants violated the Unfair Practices Act. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Officials in Forest Lake, which has been without a permanent city administrator since January, are going back to the drawing board after the candidate they hoped would take the position backed out. Aaron Reeves, deputy director of public works and business operations for Boulder County, Colo., and former city administrator in Hudson, Wis., was offered the city’s top spot earlier this month, but decided not to accept. Reeves is currently a finalist for the city administrator position in Red Wing. The council has now interviewed eight candidates during two different search sessions since deciding almost a year ago to part ways with then-City Administrator Patrick Casey, who had served in the city’s top post since 2018. “I continue to believe that there are great candidates out there and that (Forest Lake) continues to be a great opportunity,” Mayor Mara Bain said. “We just need to match the two.” The Forest Lake City Council met in an emergency session on Nov. 5 to decide whether to pursue the only other finalist, Shawn Metcalf, the former city administrator in Hastings, Neb. After agreeing to bring Metcalf in for a second interview, the council later decided to cancel that meeting, said council member Blake Roberts, who won the mayoral election on Nov. 5. Metcalf left his position in Hastings after he was placed on paid administrative leave in September because of “a confidential personnel matter,” according to an article published Sept. 6 in the Hastings Tribune . “We were just in a tough spot,” Roberts said. “He wasn’t our first person to begin with. We contemplated maybe doing an additional interview with him, which would have been via Zoom, and then there was some additional information that came forward. ... He already came to us with a little bit of some history that we weren’t 100 percent sure of. We decided to not move forward with any additional interviews with him and really, I guess, go back to the drawing board, if you will.” The council has created a subcommittee – consisting of Roberts, council member Hanna Valento, city attorney Amanda Johnson and search consultant Karl Amlie – to “review the current landscape, discuss current options and bring recommendations back to the council,” Bain said. The council has interviewed eight candidates during two different search sessions since deciding almost a year ago to part ways with then-City Administrator Patrick Casey, who had served in the city’s top post since 2018. “We’re willing to do the work to make sure we have the right fit,” Bain said. “We want to make sure we have the right individual. It’s a challenging market. It’s incredibly tight. We know that there are other communities that have had similar situations.” Interim administrator in, then out of running At the same meeting where the council voted unanimously to terminate Casey’s employment contract, the council voted to hire former Lake Elmo City Administrator Kristina Handt as interim administrator and interim clerk. That vote came after a closed session to discuss Casey’s annual performance evaluation. Handt quickly emerged as a top candidate for the position, and the council voted to pause the general search process and proceed with an expedited review of Handt, who was pursuing other job opportunities at the time. Handt later dropped out of the running, saying she had realized the city “wasn’t the right fit for (her) at this time,” but stayed on as interim city administrator. The uncertainty of Handt’s candidacy “created confusion in the marketplace,” Bain said. “We pivoted midway to accommodate the schedule of another community, and she was on an expedited process for a while, and then she was a candidate, she wasn’t a candidate. She had an interim administrator hat on. Is she part of the process, not part of the process? How viable of an opportunity were we for other candidates? It was confusing for other candidates in a very competitive environment. We weren’t seen as a certain viable opportunity against other communities.” In June, Forest Lake officials announced they had six finalists for the city administrator position . A month later, city officials said they had scrapped the search and parted ways with David Drown and Associates, the search firm originally hired to help find the next city administrator.

The firm came up with a list of three finalists that included Handt , who decided to reapply for the job. Also on the list were Metcalf and Jon Radermacher, former city administrator in Little Falls. Radermacher later withdrew his name from consideration after being named city administrator of Cannon Falls. In September, the Forest Lake City Council voted to dismiss Handt following a closed meeting to discuss “allegations or charges against an individual subject to its authority.” In response to a Data Practices Act request, city officials said this week that one complaint was filed against Handt. The status of the complaint is closed and no disciplinary action was taken, city officials said. Her name also was withdrawn from the city administrator search. New interim administrator City Clerk Jolleen Chaika, who has been with the city since April, is serving as interim city administrator until a permanent city administrator is hired. The council also appointed a subcommittee, consisting of Bain and council member Leif Erickson, to oversee and guide Chaika in her appointment as interim city administrator. Roberts said city administration is in good hands for the time being and that he is optimistic a new city administrator will be hired soon. “I know a lot of people probably think that maybe there’s some dysfunction and the council isn’t able to make some decisions here, but to be quite honest with you, I think the majority of the council wants to make sure that we take the time and not hire someone to just fill the seat,” he said. “We want to find the right person.” As a member of the subcommittee charged with helping with the search, Roberts said he has been personally reaching out to potential candidates. “It’s good to have deep conversations with these people to explore, like, ‘Hey, is this a good fit for you? Is it a good fit for Forest Lake? And if so, let’s move forward,’” he said. One potential candidate Roberts has been talking to withdrew his name from consideration during an earlier search – before the names of the finalists were made public – because he was concerned about the outcome of the Forest Lake municipal elections and he did not want to risk his situation at his current city, Roberts said. “At that point, (Handt) was still part of the process,” he said. “It seems as though when you have an interim administrator, a lot of times they end up in that full-time position because they’re a known entity. ... With her still in the picture, he thought, ‘Well, I’m already coming in with one hand tied behind my back, so he opted out.” Bain said Monday that she wishes the council had not “reversed course” for Handt earlier this year. “At the time, we all felt that that was the right thing we needed to do,” she said. “It’s challenging to have a timeline focused on a single candidate, and doing so makes you less attractive to other candidates that were potentially out there. It creates a confusing environment for candidates. Related Articles Politics | New $40M bridge planned over St. Croix River at Osceola Politics | Calling all punsters!

Being named a finalist means your name is public. You have to be fairly certain that you’re wanting to move forward. Nobody wants to be the also-ran if they believe that the decision is already made, and I think we were inadvertently signaling to the world that we were more decided than we were.” In the meantime, Chaika, the current interim administrator, has “no desire to keep the job full-time,” Roberts said. “We’re just really fortunate to have her and her willingness to take on this role and really help us through this process,” he said. “Hopefully, this could be done and we could have someone in place by the middle of January. That’s the goal.”

The decision comes on the back of a string of disappointing results in both domestic and European competitions, with the team struggling to find their rhythm and assert their dominance on the field.
