THE VILLAGES, Fla. – A 77-year-old man from The Villages finds himself in legal trouble after being accused of engaging in the illicit sale of thousands of dollars’ worth of erectile dysfunction medication. Reginald Kincer, the man at the center of this unusual case, now faces potential consequences that include a year in federal prison and a hefty $10,000 fine.According to federal authorities, Kincer acquired off-brand pills without a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. He allegedly stockpiled these pills with the intention of redistributing them both within and outside the state.Kincer, who was once seen as something of a local legend in The Villages, earned a reputation as the neighborhood’s go-to source for these medications. Residents fondly referred to him as the “neighborhood pharmacist” and expressed regret that his operation came to an end before they had the chance to make a purchase.“I’m just sorry he got bust...

Illegal drugs loom over Luxembourg’s election

LUXEMBOURG CITY — Ahead of Luxembourg’s national election, politicians are scrapping over how to tackle a growing drugs problem.The EU’s richest country has a ballot Sunday that will see a battle for seats in the 60-member Chamber of Deputies and for a new prime minister, who could replace incumbent liberal Xavier Bettel. Along with health care and the economy, security-related concerns — such as a rise in crime and drug use — have vaulted to near the top of the campaign agenda, as worried citizens point to a perceived degradation in the capital city.“All we want is a safe place to live,” said Graziela Bordin, co-organizer of a recent anti-drugs protest in Luxembourg City. Luxembourg is the latest European country to report a spike in the use of certain hard drugs, following similar reports in nearby Belgium and the Netherlands.

Taking charge of the Orioles, John Angelos emerges from his father’s shadow into a harsh spotlight

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:39 GMT

Back before he was in charge, John Angelos wrote lengthy missives complaining to “ownership” about being underpaid, underappreciated and surrounded by “rank incompetence” and “insane business practices.” He would offer ideas and analysis to “the supreme authority,” Angelos wrote on Feb. 3, 2010, only to be “met with dismissal or combativeness and personal attacks on my shortcomings and alleged ulterior motives.”He wrote again six days later, according to a lawsuit that excerpted the messages, concluding, “it is clear to me that I am not best served by remaining in a day-to-day management role.”John Angelos is far from the only disgruntled employee ever to vent to management, but in his case, the “ownership” and “supreme authority” he was railing against was not just a boss but his father, Peter Angelos.Today, John Angelos holds the same chairman and CEO title once held by ...

What drives Marcedes Lewis in his 18th NFL season? The Chicago Bears TE’s daily grind amazes others who played the position.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:39 GMT

Jim Dray, the Chicago Bears tight ends coach, is a man of few words when asked questions.Generally he replies with straight-to-the-point answers. He is amiable and listens intently before offering succinct responses.Asked how Marcedes Lewis still is doing it in his 18th NFL season, Dray was uncharacteristically verbose.“He’s like a football relic,” said Dray, who played tight end for four NFL teams over eight seasons (2010-17). “What he’s been able to do and accomplish and maintain at this level, when it’s all said and done it should probably be under pressed glass at a museum and something that is studied.“Marcedes will never get the credit he is due just because of the position he is in and what he’s asked to do on a daily basis. Not only that, but when young guys that are tired or banged up see a guy that’s been in the trenches banging every day, it’s inspiring.”Thursday night’s game against the W...

Columbus statue, removed from a square in Providence, Rhode Island, re-emerges in nearby town

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:39 GMT

Three years after a Christopher Columbus statue was removed from a square in Providence, Rhode Island, the bronze cast has re-emerged, this time in a park in Johnston, Rhode Island, about 9 miles west of the capital.The statue had been targeted by vandals, at one point being splashed with red paint with a sign reading “Stop celebrating genocide” leaning against its pedestal. In 2020, the statue was removed.Activists say celebrating Columbus ignores the rape, murder and genocide endured by Indigenous people during the European settlement of North America.Johnston Mayor Joseph Polisena Jr. said residents of his heavily Italian-American town are pleased to give the statue a new home.“It’s important and not just for Italian Americans. It’s American history. It’s world history, if you look at it from a historical perspective,” he said.While not the first European to land in North America — that’s believed to be Leif Erikson — Columbus helped usher in a wave of European exploration and ex...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday.The law, which takes effect in January, also increases the amount of sick leave workers can carry over into the following year. Newsom said it demonstrates that prioritizing the health and well-being of workers “is of the utmost importance for California’s future."“Too many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day’s pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a statement announcing his action.It was one of more than a dozen bills the Democratic governor signed Wednesday. He has until mid-October to act on all the legislation sent to him this year. He can sign, veto or let bills become law without his signature.Beyond preventing workers from choosing between taking a day off or getting paid, proponents of the sick day legislation argue ...
