French lawmaker challenges transatlantic data deal before EU court

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

PARIS — It’s Groundhog Day for transatlantic data flows. French lawmaker Philippe Latombe, a member of parliament, announced today he is challenging before the European Union’s General Court a new transatlantic deal allowing companies to freely transfer data between the EU and the United States — potentially opening the door to years of legal wrangling. The move comes less than two months after the European Commission and the U.S. government supposedly ended years of legal limbo for companies. In July, Brussels and Washington rubber-stamped an agreement, known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, after the EU’s top court in 2020 struck down its predecessor, known as Privacy Shield. The Court of Justice of the EU had annulled the scheme over concerns U.S. intelligence agencies could easily snoop on European citizens. “The text resulting from these negotiations violates the Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights, due to insufficient guaran...

CNN Poll: Biden faces negative job ratings and concerns about his age as he gears up for 2024

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden faces continued headwinds from broadly negative job ratings overall, widespread concerns about his age and decreased confidence among Democratic-aligned voters, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.There is no clear leader in a potential rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump, who is widely ahead in the GOP primary. And nearly half of registered voters (46%) say that any Republican presidential nominee would be a better choice than Biden in 2024.Meanwhile, hypothetical matchups also suggest there would be no clear leader should Biden face one of the other major GOP contenders, with one notable exception: Biden runs behind former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.Since Biden announced his reelection bid earlier this year – where he framed the 2024 contest as a fight against Republican extremism – his approval ratings have remained mired below the mid-40s, similar to Trump’s standing in 2019, and several...

Ask the Pediatrician: What is the best backpack for my child?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

Dr. Saji Azerf | (TNS) American Academy of PediatricsBeing loaded down with textbooks, gym equipment and school supplies can make backpacks heavy and hard to wear. If they’re not worn properly, backpacks may cause back, neck and shoulder pain in children and teens. While backpacks have not been shown to cause scoliosis or long-term problems, it’s never too early to start good habits that can decrease back strain and pain.To identify the perfect backpack, make sure it is the right size. Bigger is not necessarily better. The more room there is in a backpack, the more your child will carry — and the heavier the backpack will become.Make sure to choose the right backpack that fits your child and their needs the best. The bag you choose should be proportional to your child’s height.The backpack should have two broad, padded shoulder straps. Having adjustable straps that are broad and distribute weight evenly between both shoulders is important. More padding does not tra...

With strike looming, General Motors makes wage offer, which auto union leader calls ‘insulting’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

By TOM KRISHER (AP Auto Writer)DETROIT (AP) — General Motors’ first wage-and-benefit offer to the United Auto Workers on Thursday fell far short of the union’s initial demands.The offer comes just a week before the UAW’s national contracts with GM, Stellantis and Ford expire, and even though both sides are far apart, it’s a sign of movement on economic issues. Still, union President Shawn Fain called the offer “insulting.” He is threatening to strike against any automaker that hasn’t reached a tentative agreement by the time contracts expire at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 14. A strike against one or more automakers by up to 146,000 auto workers is a real possibility.GM said in a letter to workers that it’s offering a 10% wage increase during a new four-year contract, plus two more 3% one-time payments. It’s also offering a $6,000 inflation payment, $5,000 more in lump sums to protect against inflation during the contract, and a $5,...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

Mayor Michelle Wu on Aug. 28 unveiled her latest plan to battle the opioid epidemic and homelessness crisis in the city’s Mass. and Cass area, but a hearing on her proposal won’t be held until late September, after the city holds its preliminary elections.Wu pushed her plan with urgency last month, describing finding new solutions to dissolve the tent city and “open air drug market” on the border of Roxbury and the South End as a matter of “life or death.”The mayor urged the city council to take “swift and urgent action” to approve her proposed ordinance which would grant Boston police the ability to take down tents and tarps that she says hide criminal activity such as drug trading and sex trafficking, “in order for City officials and provider partners to finalize preparations and begin implementation well before the colder temperatures of late fall and winter.”Separately, City Councilors Erin Murphy, Frank Baker, Ed Flynn...

Deb Balzer | (TNS) Mayo Clinic News NetworkEnteroviruses are a group of viruses that commonly circulate during summer and fall.These viruses primarily affect young children, who are more susceptible to complications due to their undeveloped immune systems.

Patriots’ Mac Jones’ areas of improvement include attitude, lesson from Tom Brady

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:31:46 GMT

FOXBORO — Mac Jones wouldn’t reveal his specific goals days away from the Patriots’ season opener Sunday against the Eagles.But the Patriots quarterback would say that the team is striving for “really good things” this season. In order for the Patriots to accomplish that, Jones has to be better in 2023. Way better.After a promising rookie season, Jones took a significant step back as a second-year pro in 2022. His struggles last season were not entirely his fault, however. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was replaced by a combination of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge, and as retired safety Devin McCourty put it Wednesday on WEEI, “That wasn’t a good thing.”Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots have concerning absence from practice ahead of Week 1 New England Patriots | Patriots S Kyle Dugger: No update on possible contract extension New England Patriots | Patriots know they need more tha...
