Luigi Mangione, the man charged with murder in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, appeared to frequently discuss what he claimed were his health troubles online, offering a glimpse of the issues that he described navigating as a young adult. Mangione, 26, appeared to operate a Reddit profile where he detailed health issues including back pain, brain fog, and sciatica. Several posts were made on a section of the site (known as a subreddit) dedicated to the spinal condition Spondylolisthesis. Several details appear to link the profile to Mangione, and a 2016 post contained a link to a page on Github, a coding website, with Mangione’s full name on it. Law enforcement sources tell ABC News, the profile — which has since been taken down — is being reviewed for additional details about the extent of the injuries mentioned.

CHICAGO — Kroger and Albertsons’ plan for the largest U.S. supermarket merger in history crumbled Wednesday, with Albertsons pulling out of the $24.6 billion deal and the two companies accusing each other of not doing enough to push their proposed alliance through. Albertsons said it had filed a lawsuit against Kroger, seeking a $600 million termination fee as well as billions of dollars in legal fees and lost shareholder value. Kroger said the claims were “baseless” and that Albertsons was not entitled to the fee. “After reviewing options, the company determined it is no longer in its best interests to pursue the merger,” Kroger said in a statement Wednesday. The bitter breakup came the day after two judges halted the proposed merger in separate court cases. U.S. District Court Judge Adrienne Nelson in Oregon issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking the merger until an in-house judge at the Federal Trade Commission could consider the matter. An hour later, Superior Court Judge Marshall Ferguson in Seattle issued a permanent injunction barring the merger. Ferguson ruled that combining Albertsons and Kroger would lessen competition and violate consumer-protection

By Elin McCoy, Bloomberg News Eavesdrop in trendy wine bars, as I frequently do, and you hear drinkers dissing ever-popular pinot grigio as so bland and boring, lowbrow and déclassé that only those who don’t know any better would order a glass. Or consider the image baggage of California zinfandel. One of my European friends repeats the trope that this all-American red is undrinkable—gooey, rough and unctuously thick—and white zin has long been maligned as the vino people imbibe when they don’t like wine. And remember the movie “Sideways,” in which main character Miles, who equates pinot noir with love, ranted so mercilessly against merlot that it took years for the grape to recover positive attention in the market? Recently I started making a list of wine categories with a bad reputation. On it are not only pinot grigio and zinfandel, but also gewürztraminer, Beaujolais Nouveauand just about all sweet wines, including moscato, Sauternes, port, muscadet and lambrusco, among many others.

As a child, I was pretty sure I would grow up to be a fireman.  I think most kids, at one time or another, think about becoming firemen when they grow up.  As life would have it, I never became a fireman, but I know folks who did. Last week, I had breakfast with Tom Gauthier and Cal Perkins. Tom served as Red Bluff Fire Chief from 1968-1994, and Cal served as Battalion Chief/Training Officer during most of that same time frame. While eating breakfast, I asked about some of the men who had served as professional and volunteer firemen during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. The fire department employed approximately ten full-time professional staff members at the time, including Gauthier, Perkins, Assistant Chief Don Allen, Battalion Chiefs Del Mackey and Gene Moller, and Captains Hershel Rose, Ken Butler, Don Heffner, Larry Gnagey, Bill Hendrix, and Jim Harris. These fire professionals were augmented by three separate volunteer units, which included Ken Tatro, Dennis Bagshaw, Fred Agundes, Jim Smalley, Forrest Flynn, Art Chase, Bob Jones, E. C. Ross, Dave Sinclair, Jim Heinle, Rick Caylor, Kevin Fitzpatrick

‘Wanted’ signs featuring corporate executives have been posted in Manhattan. By Aaron Katersky, Peter Charalambous, and Josh Margolin, ABC News Wednesday, December 11, 2024 4:07PM Luigi Mangione plans to challenge his extradition from Pennsylvania to New York, where he faces a charge of second-degree murder. NEW YORK — A New York Police Department bulletin issued Tuesday emphasized the heightened risk environment for health care executives following last week’s brazen killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Now, there are growing concerns the action could inspire copycats. Viral posts online have listed the names and salaries of several health insurance executives, multiple “Wanted” signs featuring corporate executives have been posted throughout Manhattan and users on social media continue to celebrate Thompson’s death, according to the bulletin. The warning signs come as a sea of social media posts indicate that shooting suspect Luigi Mangione might be viewed as a “martyr” who could inspire extremists to action.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The lights, the music, and the displays of Christmas Tree Lane bring out the holiday cheer in people of all ages. Whether walking or driving, families with young kids have safety at the top of their minds. They lit up their little ones with their own Christmas lights, some keeping them in the wagon from wandering too far. One family chose to walk on a regular night to avoid the large crowds of ‘walk-only’ nights. “We’ve never actually done the walk night, but this is a perfect night to do walking,” said Scott Cain, Fresno local. Others chose to drive to avoid walking with little ones, and one family pulled over to talk about the safety precautions they take in crowds. “We used Apple AirTags, and I just try to keep him on my shoulders,” said Fresno local Mike Reimer. “Like I said, he’s of that height. He can disappear really quickly, get distracted, and run off. So he’s usually either holding onto one of us or on one of our shoulders.” The Sheriff’s Office said their biggest safety issue at

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 7:32AM With weather impacting Florida citrus, Valley growers have been stepping up to fill orders, and a California company is helping to ship the fruit nationwide. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Hurricane season raised concerns in the Florida citrus industry about a possible decrease in production, and Valley growers were ready to fill any shortages. The Fruit Guys, a San Francisco-based company that supplies fruit and nut displays for offices across the U.S., says the need is on top of the already healthy demand for Valley fruit. She says consumers can’t get enough of the citrus grown in central California. “If you want to get citrus in California, you’re looking at the Central Valley. So we deal with many different farms up and down the Central Valley,” says Erin Mittelstaedt, the CEO of the Fruit Guys. The company offers delivery service to break rooms in offices and schools. “We provide primarily fresh fruit and snacks to businesses nationwide,” says Mittelstaedt. The company relies heavily on California-grown produce. Mittelstaedt thought additional citrus orders from the valley might be needed because hurricanes damaged some

By KIM TONG-HYUNG and HYUNG-JIN KIM SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s previous defense minister was stopped from attempting suicide while in detention over last week’s martial law, officials said, as police were trying to search President Yoon Suk Yeol’s office Wednesday in their intensifying investigation. The main liberal opposition Democratic Party also plans to submit a new motion to impeach Yoon for his Dec. 3 declaration that imposed martial law in South Korea for the first time in more than 40 years. Its first impeachment attempt against Yoon last Saturday failed, with ruling party lawmakers boycotting a floor vote. Yoon’s ill-conceived power grab has paralyzed South Korean politics, frozen its foreign policy and rattled financial markets, greatly reducing his chances of completing his five-year term and casting a turbulent shadow over one of Asia’s most robust democracies. Shin Yong Hae, commissioner general of of the Korea Correctional Service, told lawmakers Wednesday that Kim tried to kill himself the previous night at a detention center in Seoul. He said that Kim’s suicide attempt failed after center officials stopped him and that he is in a stable condition
