Believe it or not, Cowboys might have hope yet after chaotic win at WashingtonA lack of rules to help keep aging drivers — and you — safer on the streets causes serious, even fatal, consequences, Scripps News Cleveland found in a recent investigative report. So-called "mature drivers" (55+) were the most common variable in Ohio motor vehicle crashes over the last six years. State records show mature drivers were involved in 525,290 crashes between Jan. 1, 2019, and Nov. 12, 2024. The number of crashes involving mature drivers was higher than youth-related crashes and speed-related crashes. Despite those numbers, Ohio and other states have no special provisions to ensure older drivers are safe behind the wheel. Ignoring the risk "We really, as a society, mostly ignore it," said Sharona Hoffman , Case Western Reserve University, School of Law, and author of "Aging with a Plan: How a Little Thought Today Can Vastly Improve Your Tomorrow," which provides resources to help middle-aged and older adults deal with all aspects of aging, including driving. "There is not a good legal framework that tries to identify unsafe driving and address it," she said. Ohio is one of 13 states that does not have any regulations aimed at aging drivers on the roadways, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Other states have only enacted minor provisions, including more frequent license renewals and vision tests and requiring drivers to renew their licenses in person instead of by mail. Nevada and Washington D.C. require a doctor's note for drivers over 70. Only Illinois requires drivers to take another road test after they turn 75. Hoffman said driving decisions are mostly left to families. "Doctors often don’t get involved in that and so it’s up to families, and that can be extremely difficult," she said. Hoffman said older drivers often "don't want to hear they are a hazard," and families are often reluctant to engage in difficult conversations with loved ones about driving. At the same time, more older Americans are driving. The most recent Federal Highway Administration estimate is that there are over 34 million licensed drivers who are 70 or older in the U.S. 'If I wasn't there...' Even serious incidents can have little or no impact on an aging driver's license. Over the summer, Newburgh Heights Patrol Officer Russ Veverka was working his regular overnight shift on Interstate 77 when one car caught his attention. The driver was headed northbound in the southbound lane. At the same time, several vehicles were approaching from the opposite direction. "The one thing I’m not going to have is another vehicle hit head-on with another vehicle in front of me," he said. "I don’t think I could handle that at all." So from a grassy knoll near the Harvard Avenue bridge, Officer Veverka activated his overhead lights and drove onto the highway, blocking a lane. The driver saw him and stopped. The driver turned out to be a 65-year-old man who had been reported as a missing endangered adult earlier that day. A 4-year-old relative was standing in the backseat with no restraints. "Seeing that, my heart wanted to drop," Veverka said. The driver appeared confused and kept saying he was on Interstate 480. He had been driving around with the little boy for hours. After stopping the wrong-way driver, Veverka submitted form 2308 to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to request the driver take a road test. "That's the best we can do right now," Veverka said. But when Scripps News Cleveland reached out to the driver's wife, she told us nothing had changed. She said her husband is still driving, including picking up the 4-year-old boy from daycare. Jackson Township tragedy "We all have family members that we think, 'Eh, maybe they shouldn't be driving," said Jackson Township Fire Chief Tim Berczik. His department recently started outreach efforts to older drivers after reviewing the city's crashes over the last year. He found mature drivers were involved in eight fatalities in the city of approximately 44,000 residents, including a crash that killed a 69-year-old grandfather in October. Berczik said an 81-year-old woman crashed into Angello's 2 Go pizza shop when she accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal in her car. His staff is now showing older drivers how to stay safer in their vehicles, including proper seat and mirror placement. They also encourage anyone with concerns to be retested. "We're not talking in any way about, 'We need to take car keys away from senior folks,'" he said. "Make it a group decision that maybe we don't drive as much." He said mature drivers can limit the distances they drive, stop driving at night, or stick to familiar areas to keep themselves and others safer on the roads. 'Life is for the young..." Handing over your keys carries its own consequences. "We live in a society where our autonomy often depends on driving," Hoffman said. "They won’t be able to go to doctor’s appointments as easily, and they can become socially isolated, which is catastrophic for anyone, but especially older people." "If you are lonely, if you are not engaging with other people, that is a sure recipe for cognitive decline and other physical and mental health problems," she said. In a recent law review article, "Patient Autonomy, Public Safety, and Drivers with Cognitive Decline ," Hoffman and her co-author recommended doctors be required to send patients diagnosed with cognitive decline and other conditions for road tests. Right now, medical professionals are only encouraged to notify the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles about their concerns about a patient's driving. However, Scripps News Cleveland found only 18% of those drivers lost their licenses. Hoffman also said law enforcement officers should be trained to identify cognitive decline and report problem drivers. "I've had relatives who've driven into mailboxes, lamp posts, and parked cars and each time they have just gotten a warning or a ticket," she said. 76-year-old Brook Park resident Rose Ramsey said she isn't as confident in her driving skills as she used to be. "Once in a blue moon, I kind of forget the route that I was going," she said. "I'm planning on going a certain place and then I just kind of have to let the car lead the way." When she is worried about taking the wheel, she relies on her husband of 56 years, Kenneth. "I have my own chauffeur," she said. She supports requiring drivers to be retested as they get older. "John Q. Public and myself needs to be safe," she said. Ramsey said she knows that means she and her husband will eventually have to give up their own car keys. She admits it will not be easy. "I know it would be very difficult for us and yet I do understand that time is coming," she said. "Life is for the young, isn't it?" What should you do? If you're concerned about a loved one's driving abilities, Hoffman and Berczik both recommend the following: This story was originally published by Sarah Buduson at Scripps News Cleveland .

An International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s outlook for Qatar says the country would see a two percent 2024-25 real GDP growth, driven by “public investment, spillovers from the ongoing LNG expansion project, and strong tourism”. The final statement for the IMF’s Article IV consultation mission in Qatar projected a medium-term annual growth of about 4.75 percent, supported by the significant North Field expansion project, totaling the country’s annual LNG production to 142 million tons per annum (mtpa) and the Third National Development Strategy (NDS-3). This growth is manifested across all Qatar’s dynamic economic sectors, especially in energy, with the latter achieving oil, gas and petrochemical milestones both locally and abroad. QatarEnergy plays a leading role in optimally investing the country’s natural resources of oil and gas, in accordance with the QNV 2030. Besides the North Field LNG expansion project, the energy giant is also in partnership with ExxonMobil for the Golden Pass LNG export terminal on the US Gulf Coast near Sabine Pass, Texas, with annual capacity of 18 mtpa. In September 2024, QatarEnergy held a naming ceremony for six LNG carriers as part of Doha’s 128-vessel shipbuilding program. In February 2024, HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani laid the foundations for the Ras Laffan petrochemicals complex, a huge venture consisting of the Middle East’s largest ethane cracker and one of the largest worldwide with a capacity of 2.1 million tonnes a year of ethylene.Turning to clean energy, under the patronage of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, HH the Deputy Amir Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Thani recently laid the groundbreaking for the Blue Ammonia Plant project. The world’s largest of its kind, the project in Mesaieed is a significant QatarEnergy milestone to produce low-carbon ammonia, a key solution in the clean energy transition. The plant will be supplied with more than 35 MW of electricity from the solar power plant currently under construction in Mesaieed Industrial City. World-class solar projects in Al Kharsaah, Ras Laffan, Mesaieed and Dukhan will double the country’s solar power generation capacity to around 4,000 MW by 2030.Meanwhile, QatarEnergy, supported by the directives of the country’s wise leadership, is expanding its exploration and drilling operations in a bid to achieve further growth. Qatar Energy pays great attention to enhancing the country’s LNG production capacity as the key tributary to the GDP in addition to petrochemical industries. In this regard, it has built partnerships with many international companies, one of the most important returns of which was the transfer of knowledge to a new generation of Qatari youth. Under the generous directives of HH the Amir, QatarEnergy has charted out a new path that will put it on the road to becoming one of the best energy companies in the world. It has adopted an updated business strategy based on its recent progress, taking into account supply and demand, potential risks and opportunities, and global trends, especially with regard to efforts to low-carbon energy transition. In this context, it has worked to pay attention to sustainability issues, as QatarEnergy launched its updated sustainability strategy that emphasizes its commitment, as a major energy producer, to responsible production of clean energy at affordable prices to facilitate the transition to low-carbon energy. QatarEnergy has also been guided in implementing its work and projects by the basic principles and pillars on which the QNV 2030 was built, enhancing its role in supporting and enriching the national economy, supported by its leading position among the largest LNG producing and exporting countries.Through its corporate strategy and values, it has also worked to maximize the value of Qatar’s assets, create a wide-ranging international portfolio, maximize the added value of petrochemical industries, support energy efficiency, and achieve the optimal energy mix in Qatar. QatarEnergy has also paid great attention to supporting and developing human capital, especially Qatari employees in various energy sector companies, and has supported efforts to develop its employees’ expertise and raise levels of leadership development to achieve the highest levels of performance. It has also established a unique work culture through corporate values that form part of the daily lives of all its employees, built on solid foundations of integrity, safety, excellence, cooperation, responsibility, and respect. The number of new companies registered on the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) platform in 2024 exceeded 760 up from 327 in 2023, a more than 130 percent increase bringing the total number to over 2,200 companies. The businesses mostly from the UK, France, Jordan, India, the US are operating in various sectors such as consulting services, financial technology, information technology, innovation and others. IT companies made the largest number on the QFC platform benefitting from the QFC’s active involvement in the Doha-hosted Web Summit 2024 in February. The companies that registered during the summit were offered exceptional incentives as part of a QFC strategy alluring foreign investments, diversifying the national economy, and supporting the state’s efforts to become a regional IT hub. In 2024, the QFC signed more than 15 MoUs with prestigious local and international institutions, including Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Masraf Al Rayan, Meeza, Hashgraph Association, Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment, the Financial Services Development Council of Hong Kong, the Canadian Arab Business Council, and Casablanca Finance City. With the aim of facilitating the establishment of businesses in Qatar, the QFC signed an MoU with the Qatar Media City, and a cooperation agreement with the Qatar Science and Technology Park. The QFC organized a number of important events, primarily the Qatar Financial Market Forum 2024 in collaboration with Bloomberg under the title “Trends Shaping Emerging Markets & Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility”. The QFC also hosted the 20th Corporate Registers Forum Annual Conference 2024, held for the first time in the State of Qatar, with the attendance of prominent figures representing more than 50 member countries of the Forum, partner organizations, a number of business leaders and industry experts and specialists.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will not appear at former President Donald Trump ’s rally on Saturday in the battleground state following a CNN report about Robinson’s alleged disturbing online posts, an absence that illustrates the liability the gubernatorial candidate poses for Trump and downballot GOP candidates. Robinson is not expected to attend the event in Wilmington, according to a person on the Trump campaign and a second person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning. Robinson has been a frequent presence at Trump's North Carolina campaign stops. The Republican nominee has referred to Robinson, who is Black, as “Martin Luther King on steroids" and long praised him. But in the wake of Thursday's CNN report , the Trump campaign issued a statement that didn't mention Robinson and instead spoke generally about how North Carolina was key to the campaign's efforts. Robinson's campaign didn't respond to a text Friday seeking confirmation on his Saturday plans. The deadline in state law for Robinson to withdraw as the Republican candidate for governor passed late Thursday. State Republican leaders could have picked a replacement had a withdrawal occurred. Robinson has denied writing the posts, which include racial and sexual comments. He said he wouldn't be forced out of the race by “salacious tabloid lies.” While Robinson won his GOP gubernatorial primary in March, he's been trailing in several recent polls to Democratic nominee Josh Stein , the state's attorney general. “Let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story — those are not the words of Mark Robinson,” he told supporters in a video released Thursday by his campaign. “You know my words. You know my character.” State law says a gubernatorial nominee had until the day before the first absentee ballots requested by military and overseas voters are distributed to withdraw. They were distributed starting Friday. Robinson has a history of inflammatory comments that Stein has said made him too extreme to lead North Carolina. They already have contributed to the prospect that campaign struggles for Robinson could help Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris win the state’s 16 electoral votes. Democrats jumped on Robinson and other Republicans after the report aired, showing on social media photos of Robinson with Trump or with other GOP candidates, attempting to tarnish them by association. Losing swing district races for a congressional seat and the General Assembly would endanger the GOP’s control of the U.S. House and retaining veto-proof majorities at the legislature. “The fallout is going to be huge,” Chris Cooper, a political science professor at Western Carolina University, said Friday. “The Democrats are counting on this ... having a big effect.” But Cooper said Republicans could limit problems to the governor's race only if upward ticket-splitting trends among voters continue. Harris' campaign rolled out a new ad Friday it calls the first to link Trump to a down-ballot candidate. The commercial alternates between Trump’s praise for Robinson and the lieutenant governor’s comments which his critics have argued show his support for a statewide abortion ban without exceptions. Robinson's campaign have said that's not true. The Democratic National Committee is also running billboards in three major North Carolina cities showing a photo of Robinson and Trump and comments Trump has said about him. And a fundraising appeal Friday by Jeff Jackson, Democratic attorney general candidate, also includes a past video showing Republican opponent Dan Bishop saying he endorsed Robinson. “Every North Carolinian when they go to vote ought to look at whether a candidate has done that, because that sends a strong message about who you are as a candidate,” Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, a top Harris surrogate, said at a Friday news conference. CNN's story, which describes a series of comments that it said Robinson posted on the message board more than a decade ago, sent tremors through the state’s political class, particularly Republicans. While the state Republican Party came to Robinson’s defense late Thursday pointing out he's “categorically denied the allegations,” party Chairman Jason Simmons put out his own statement Friday calling them “deeply troubling” and that Robinson "needs to explain them to the people of North Carolina.” U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis , R-N.C., who endorsed a Robinson rival in the primary, said on X that Thursday “was a tough day, but we must stay focused on the races we can win.” He didn't mention the governor's race. U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, chairman of House Republicans' campaign arm, discounted Robinson’s impact in North Carolina congressional races. CNN reported that Robinson, who would be North Carolina’s first Black governor, attacked on the message board civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in searing terms and once referred to himself as a “black NAZI.” CNN also reported that Robinson wrote of being aroused by a memory of “peeping” women in gym showers when he was 14 along with an appreciation of transgender pornography. Robinson at one point referred to himself as a “perv,” according to CNN. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed that Robinson wrote and posted the messages. CNN said it matched details of the account on the pornographic website forum to other online accounts held by Robinson by comparing usernames, a known email address and his full name. CNN reported that details discussed by the account holder matched Robinson’s age, length of marriage and other biographical information. It also compared figures of speech that were used in his public Facebook profile and that appeared in discussions by the account on the pornographic website. This story was first published on Sep. 20, 2024. It was updated on Nov. 22, 2024 to correct which of Robinson’s social media accounts CNN cited in a comparison to language in messages from a pornographic website message board. CNN cited his public Facebook account, not his Twitter account. Price reported from New York.
