Elton John – I’m Still Standing

You could never know what it’s like
Your blood like winter, freezes just like ice
And there’s a cold, lonely light that shines from you
You’ll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me, I’m coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know, while I’m still standing, you just fade away

Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life, without you on my mind

I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Once, I never could hope to win
You starting down the road, leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, you’d be a clown by now

No, I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don’t you know that I’m still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Police searching for 2 men seen on video holding rideshare driver at gunpoint

Authorities need your help finding two men seen on video trying to carjack and rob a rideshare driver at gunpoint in west Houston.

The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division shared the shocking video Tuesday, but the actual incident happened on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, around 11 a.m. That’s when investigators said an unidentified driver with a rideshare company received a request to pick up a man (and his friend) only identified as “MJ” at a restaurant in the 7600 block of Westheimer Rd.

Once the driver arrived, officials said one of the two men he picked up changed the drop-off location to an apartment in the 2900 block of Dunvale. When they got to that location, dashcam video shows one of the men getting out of the rear passenger door, while another held the driver at gunpoint demanding he get out of the car.

“Get the (expletive) out the car before I kill you,” the robber is heard saying.

The other robber meanwhile, police said, opened the driver’s side door and tried to take the driver’s cell phone and a struggle ensued. During the scuffle, the driver caused one of the robbers to fall while trying to grab his phone.

When he fell, the driver stepped on the acceleration while still struggling with the other robber, who was holding the driver at gunpoint and told him to stop the car and threatened to shoot.

“I’ma kill you. I’ma shoot you. Stop the car. I’m trying to give you a chance to live,” he said. “Stop the (expletive) car before I kill you.”

The driver, however, kept on going and the robber wound up jumping out of the moving car. Once he got to a more secure location, the driver called police.

The two robbers were described only by investigators as two Black men in their 20s standing at 5’8 or 5’9 with black hair with a skinny build wearing hoodies and wearing surgical masks.

If you have any information that may help lead to their arrest, Crime Stoppers of Houston is offering a cash payment of up to $5,000. To do so, you can call their hotline at 713-222-TIPS or go online.

The FDA finalizes rule expanding the availability of abortion pills

The FDA finalizes rule expanding the availability of abortion pills

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday finalized a rule change that broadens the availability of abortion pills to many more pharmacies, including large chains and mail-order companies.

The Biden administration partially implemented the change last year, announcing it would no longer enforce a long-standing requirement that women pick up the medicine in person. Tuesday’s action formally updates the drug’s labeling to allow many more retail pharmacies to dispense the pills, so long as they complete a certification process.

The change could expand access at both brick-and-mortar stores and online pharmacies. Women can get a prescription via telehealth consultation with a health professional, and then receive the pills through the mail, where permitted by law.

Still, the rule change’s impact has been blunted by numerous state laws limiting abortion broadly and the pills specifically. Legal experts foresee years of court battles over access to the pills, as abortion-rights proponents bring test cases to challenge state restrictions.

For more than 20 years, the FDA labeling had limited dispensing to a subset of specialty offices and clinics, due to safety concerns. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA temporarily suspended the in-person requirement. The agency later said a new scientific review by agency staff supported easing access, concurring with numerous medical societies that had long said the restriction wasn’t necessary.

Two drugmakers that make brand-name and generic versions of abortion pills requested the latest FDA label update. Agency rules require a company to file an application before modifying dispensing restrictions on drugs.

Danco Laboratories, which sells branded Mifeprex, said in a statement the change “is critically important to expanding access to medication abortion services and will provide healthcare providers” with another option for prescribing the drug.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists called the update an “important step” forward.

“Although the FDA’s announcement today will not solve access issues for every person seeking abortion care, it will allow more patients who need mifepristone for medication abortion additional options to secure this vital drug,” the group said in a statement.

More than half of U.S. abortions are now done with pills rather than surgery, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.

The FDA in 2000 approved mifepristone to terminate pregnancies of up to 10 weeks when used with a second drug, misoprostol. Mifepristone is taken first to dilate the cervix and block the hormone progesterone, which is needed to sustain a pregnancy. Misoprostol is taken 24 to 48 hours later, causing the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.

Bleeding is a common side effect, though serious complications are very rare. The FDA says more than 3.7 million U.S. women have used mifepristone since its approval.

Several FDA-mandated safety requirements remain in effect, including training requirements to certify that prescribers can provide emergency care in the case of excessive bleeding. Pharmacies that dispense the pills also need a certification.

El servicio de inmigración de Estados Unidos anuncia nuevas tarifas

El servicio de inmigración estadounidense anunció este martes que planea incrementar las tarifas por sus servicios, incluyendo la ciudadanía y la residencia legal permanente ( green card o tarjeta verde).

La Oficina de Ciudadanía y Servicios de Inmigración (USCIS) publicó este martes en el Registro Federal un aviso público de propuesta de reglamentación de nuevas tarifas.

“Las nuevas tarifas permitirían que USCIS recupere más completamente sus costos operativos, restablezca y mantenga el procesamiento oportuno de casos y prevenga la acumulación de casos atrasados en el futuro”, dijo la agencia en un comunicado.

USCIS indicó que recibe aproximadamente “el 96% de sus fondos de las tarifas de presentación, no de las asignaciones del Congreso”.

La propuesta de nuevas tarifas tendrá un período de comentario público de 60 días y que los nuevos precios no cambiarán hasta que la regla final entre en vigencia, “después de que el público haya tenido la oportunidad de comentar y USCIS finalice el programa de tarifas en respuesta a dichos comentarios”.

Las propuestas de nuevas tarifas

En caso de aprobarse, las nuevas tarifas propuestas afectarían la mayoría de los servicios que brinda la agencia.

En el caso de la ciudadanía por naturalización, trámite que se hace por medio del formulario N-400, tendría un alza de $640 a $760 (un 19%).

En el caso de las peticiones de familiares extranjeros por medio del formulario I-130, la propuesta recomienda un incremento de $535 a $710 (33%), mientras que la solicitud de exención provisional por presencia ilegal, utilizada por cónyuges indocumentados para salir del país en busca de la visa de inmigrante, aumentaría de $715 a $1,195 (55%).

La petición de registro de residencia permanente por medio del formulario I-485 tendría un incremento de $1,140 a $ 1,540 (35%) según la propuesta. Este formulario se presenta después del I-130 y permite comprobar que el extranjero solicitado califica o es elegible para obtener la residencia legal permanente, también conocida como green card o tarjeta verde.

En cuanto a las peticiones para el retiro de las condiciones de residencia, utilizado por cónyuges extranjeros, trámite que se lleva a cabo por medio del formulario I.751, USCIS dijo que aumentaría de $680 dólares a $1,195 (76%).

Para los peticionarios de ajuste con visas tipo H-2A tendrían un incremento de $460 a $ 1,090 ( un 137%) y los peticionarios con visas H-1B deberían pagar $1,080 frente a los $480 actuales, equivalente a un incremento del 135%.

Las visas H-2A las utilizan trabajadores agrícolas, mientras que las visas H-2B están destinadas para trabajadores extranjeros que laboran en la industria hotelera, restaurantes, jardinería y labores de pastoreo, entre otras áreas.

Policía de Houston arresta a casi 50 personas acusadas de disparar al aire y conducir ebrias en Año Nuevo

Casi 50 personas pasaron el Día de Año Nuevo tras las rejas luego de ser acusados de disparar armas de fuego al aire y conducir ebrios en la ciudad de Houston.

Troy Finner, jefe de la policía de Houston, ofreció un balance del último fin de semana 2022 y el inicio de este 2023.

5 sospechosos fueron arrestados por disparar al aire durante la celebración de Año Nuevo. Por su parte, 43 personas fueron acusadas de conducir ebrios.

No solo fue noticia el fin de semana las detenciones, sino también la herida que sufrió una niña, de 12 años, al rozarle una bala en el cuello durante las celebraciones.

El incidente ocurrió alrededor de las 12:30am en la cuadra 6405 de la West Bellfort en Houston, según dijo la policía en sus redes sociales.

La menor fue llevada al hospital y se encuentra estable.

El Departamento de la Policía de Houston pidió a la comunidad que si tienen información sobre este u otro incidente, pueden denunciarlo llamando al 713-308-8800 o también a Crime Stoppers al 713-222-8477.

¿Qué hacer ante una persona armada?

De acuerdo a la Policía de Houston, para enfrentar una situación donde una persona esté armada o haya un tiroteo, hay tres principios básicos que todo ciudadano debe saber: correr, esconderse y pelear.

Si optas por correr y estás en tu lugar de trabajo o casa, ten en mente una ruta de escape. Si puedes, ayuda a otros a escapar y llama al 911 cuando estés a salvo.

Para esconderse cierra la puerta donde estés con seguro y pon tu teléfono en modo vibrador para que no se escuche.

Como última opción, la policía recomienda pelear y solo debes hacerlo si tu vida está en peligro inminente. Intenta incapacitar al agresor.

Avatar: The Way of Water continues to conquer the box office with $1.17B worldwide

Avatar: The Way of Water continues to conquer the box office with $1.17B worldwide

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is still making waves at the box office after shooting the curl to $1.17 billion worldwide. With so many dollars to its name, Avatar: The Way of Water is the third-highest-grossing film of the pandemic era, treading water behind Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.9 billion) and Top Gun: Maverick ($1.5 billion).

Cameron’s splashy sequel experienced another monster Wednesday at the box office with $20 million in domestic dollars. After doing some math, that brings the film’s Stateside total to $358 million. Additionally, the film brought in another $47.9 million in domestic earnings, cranking the international count to $810.6 million.

Still, Avatar: The Way of Water needs to earn more money if it’s going to make its production budget back and then some. Analysts say the movie needs to breach around $1.4 billion to break even. Thankfully, if Avatar 2 keeps raking in dollars like so many leaf piles prime for jumping, it’ll do just fine. I don’t plan to see the film, but I’m confident Cameron will achieve his goal of getting Avatar: The Way of Water beyond the goal line.

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

James Cameron directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. The first of several planned sequels stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Brendan Cowell, Joel David Moore, and more.

Have you seen Avatar: The Way of Water yet? What did you think about the film? Will Cameron’s film break even and continue to swim past the competition? Given the film’s success, do you think Cameron will keep making Avatar films beyond the third film in the franchise? Keep in mind that Avatar 3 is already in post-production. Let us know what you think about Avatar‘s performance and future in the comments.
