Raymond, Minn. — Residents of a small town in Kandyohi County were evacuated Thursday after an early morning train derailment.
About 22 cars derailed around 1 a.m., BNSF Railway said
Some of the derailed cars were loaded with ethanol and corn syrup and caught fire, the sheriff’s office said.
A section of the city near the crash site was evacuated to a school in nearby Prinsburg.
Raymond was not advised to travel, the sheriff’s office said. Highway 23 is closed from Kandioh County Road 1 to Chippewa County Road 1 due to the derailment and fire, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Apple officially released iOS 16.4 to the public on Monday, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s a big release with tons of new changes, features, emojis, bug fixes, and more. In this video, I go over more than 50 new features. Be sure subscription 9to5Mac on YouTubeFor videos like this one.
What’s new in iOS 16.4?
As mentioned, iOS 16.4 is loaded with new additions. On my watch, I go through a great deal of what’s new. However, in this written post, I wanted to consider some interesting new features.
Many shortcuts updates
Perhaps outside of WebKit, the underlying framework behind Safari, the Shortcuts app gets the most attention in iOS 16.4. New shortcut actions include the ability to silence unknown callers, auto answer calls, night shift and true tone. You’ll find new actions to change the Always On Display found on iPhone 14 Pro, turn off your device, lock the screen, and more.
Video walkthrough: 50+ iOS 16.4 changes and features
My favorite new feature is dedicated to the intercom feature that works with iOS devices and HomePods. This new app can announce an incoming message using the intercom and accept text and media files and output to all the HomePods in your home.
A great way to drive your household…
Other shortcut changes were added in 16.4, such as the ability to find screen recordings within the Photos app, connect to a VPN, or launch a set playback target action with Siri. Bottom line? If you’re a fan of shortcuts, iOS 16.4 is a must-have.
Music app UI changes
The Music app doesn’t get any drastic changes in iOS 16.4, but there are a number of UI changes that I like. In particular, the pop-up that appears when you add songs to your library, or the Next Queue, has been significantly reduced in size and is now presented at the bottom of the interface. An updated sort button, smaller playlist thumbnails, and a profile button are now available in the top-right corner of every Music app tab.
An updated waveform next to the currently playing track
However, my favorite new Music app feature is the enhanced waveform that appears with track titles. Previously, the waveform was a generic animation that had no effect on the song being played. In iOS 16.4, the updated waveform is directly related to the audio being played.
Best previews for Mastodon in Message
Although Mastodon is still relatively unknown among the public, it is already a thriving place for techies. With this, Mastodon links in Messages now appear with better previews in iOS 16.4. Such a change might have been endorsed by Apple Fellow and former head of global marketing Bill Schiller, who has since deleted his Twitter account and is now officially on Fediverse.
Some of the more obvious Web-centric features in iOS 16.4 include support for creating home screen bookmarks directly from third-party browsers. Additionally, opening these home screen bookmarks will now respect the installed default browser configured in iOS settings.
For the first time, web apps now get support for push notifications, and that includes notification badges and compatibility with iOS’ focus modes. This change should make web applications more attractive than they were in the past.
9to5Mac’s tag
Of course, some of the features listed in this post are just a taste of everything included in iOS 16.4. In my video, I look at over 50 new changes and features in this massive new update. In general, I feel like iOS 16 saw the most updates of any major version of iOS we’ve seen so far, and there’s a chance we’ll see even more new features like iOS 16.5, which is already here. Available in its initial developer beta, maturing.
What’s your favorite new iOS 16.4 feature? Sound off in the comments below with your thoughts.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Human remains found last October on the shores of shrinking Lake Mead are those of a North Las Vegas man who drowned in April 1974, officials in Las Vegas said Tuesday.
Donald B. when he reportedly disappeared into the waters of the Colorado River Reservoir behind Hoover Dam. Smith was 39 years old, the Clark County Coroner’s Office said in a statement. was identified through DNA, and her death was ruled accidental.
As the lake recedes due to drought, coroner’s investigators are working to identify other remains found last year, said Stacey Welling, a county spokeswoman. They include people who Las Vegas police say were shot in the head and stuffed in a barrel found in May 2022 near a popular swimming and boating area about a 30-minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip.
Police in Las Vegas and neighboring North Las Vegas and city officials in North Las Vegas said no missing person report or family contact information for Smith, who drowned, was immediately available.
Hers was the last of a series of remains to be publicly announced last year in a lake that has been a fishing, swimming and boating destination for decades — and a dumping ground for the underworld. In the early years of the Las Vegas area.
Remains discovered in May 2022 in the Calville Bay area were identified in August 2022 as those of 42-year-old Las Vegas father Thomas Erndin. His family said he drowned in the lake on a nighttime family boat on August 2, 2002.
Other skeletons were discovered three weeks apart in late July and early August The shoreline at the Boulder Beach swimming area was owned by a man, a coroner’s report said Tuesday. Officials are still trying to attach a name to the remains.
Shares of Chinese tech giant Alibaba rose after it announced plans to break up the company.
Five of the six units created by the move will explore raising new funds and initial public offering (IPO) options, the company says.
Alibaba shares were up more than 14% in New York on Tuesday and more than 13% in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
Its US-listed shares have fallen nearly 70% since 2020 on concerns about Beijing’s crackdown on the tech sector.
The move follows reports that Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who has been rarely seen in public for the past three years, reappeared in China this week after a long absence.
Units have their own chief executives and boards of directors. Online retail platform Taobao will be wholly owned by Alibaba, except for the Tmall trading group.
“The market is the best litmus test, and each business group and company can pursue independent fundraising and IPOs when they are ready,” Chief Executive Daniel Zhang said in a letter to employees.
China technology analyst Rui Ma told the BBC that investors saw value in the restructuring because Alibaba’s business units could grow at their own pace.
He said each unit was highly regulated and “subject to unbelievable breaches”.
Alibaba’s restructuring comes after years of tough restrictions on Chinese tech companies, said Scott Kessler, global sector leader for technology, media and telecommunications at investment research firm Third Bridge.
“For the past few months, the government has been cracking down on big tech companies. People are wondering if this is the beginning of an era where the government is almost an enemy of companies and actually supports them,” he added. .
He met with staff and toured classrooms at Yungu School in Hangzhou, the city where Alibaba is headquartered, the newspaper said.
Mr Ma is the highest-profile Chinese billionaire to disappear amid a crackdown on tech entrepreneurs.
The 58-year-old has kept a low profile since criticizing China’s financial regulators in 2020. He stepped down as chairman of Alibaba in September 2019.
A Maryland appeals court on Tuesday reinstated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the host of the “Serial” podcast, who was acquitted last year after 23 years in prison for killing his former high school girlfriend.
A Maryland appeals court ruled in September that a trial court had violated the rights of Young Lee, the brother of victim Hae Min Lee, to have Mr. Syed was notified to attend the trial when a judge vacated his conviction.
At 2-to-1 ConclusionThe Court of Appeals reversed the trial court. Mr. Mr. Unlike the previous hearing, which would have given Lee enough notice to appear in person, he joined via Zoom.
This decision, Mr. That does not mean Syed must return to jail immediately, as the appeals court stayed its ruling for 60 days, giving both sides time to consider next steps, Mr. said David Sanford, one of Lee’s attorneys.
Mr. For agreeing with Lee, Mr. Sanford praised the appeals court.
“We are pleased that the Court of Appeals is directing the lower court to conduct a transparent hearing in which evidence is presented in open court, and the court’s decision is based on evidence that the world can see,” Mr. Sanford said in a statement.
Mr. Syed’s attorney, Erica J. Suter, Mr. He said he plans to appeal the decision to reinstate Syed’s sentence to the state’s highest court, the Maryland Supreme Court.
“There is no basis for re-traumatizing Adnan by returning him to the status of a convicted felon,” Ms Sutter said in a statement. “For now, Adnan remains a free man.”
“Adnan doesn’t need injustice to ensure Hae Min Lee gets justice,” he added.
State Attorney’s Office for Baltimore City, Mr. That prompted Syed’s conviction to be overturned, and spokesman James E. Bentley II said.
“We should let the appeals process play itself out,” said Mr. Bentley said in a statement. “Mr. Syed and his legal team can appeal to the Maryland Supreme Court, and we must respect their rights to do so until those rights are heard or that request is denied; we are in a holding pattern.
Mr. Lee argued that the trial court gave him only 30 minutes notice to run home, gather his thoughts without counsel’s input, talk openly about his sister’s murder, and lack any evidentiary information to quash the state’s request. Mr. Faith of Syed.
Mr. Lee asked the trial court to adjourn the hearing so he could appear in person, but Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Finn rejects her request. Mr. Lee later joined Zoom’s investigation after one of his lawyers called him at work.
“This is not a podcast for me,” said Mr. Lee asked to raise his voice as he addressed the court. “This is real life — a never-ending dream for 20-plus years.”
Mr. After Lee spoke, Judge Finn, Mr. Syed’s conviction was vacated, prosecutors said. They failed to turn over evidence that could have helped Syed’s investigation and discovered new evidence that could have affected the outcome of his case.
Mr. Lee was convicted of strangling his high school friend and one-time girlfriend, Ms. Lee, whose body was found buried in a Baltimore park in 1999. Syed was serving a life sentence. -Degree murder, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment.
The Court of Appeal, Judge Finn, ordered Mr. It found that Lee’s request was denied, “even though it was not shown that it was necessary” to hold the hearing that day.
Maryland law gives victims the right to notice and attend a hearing before a motion to vacate, the court said.
“We remand for a new, legally binding and open hearing on the motion to vacate, where sufficient notice of the hearing is given to allow Mr. Lee to appear in person, evidence is presented in support of the motion to vacate, and the court states its reasons in support of its decision,” the court wrote.
(CNN) At least 39 people have died in a fire at an immigration center in the city of Ciudad Juarez on the US-Mexico border, authorities said on Tuesday.
Officials said the fire broke out at the office of the National Institute of Migration (INM) after bringing in a group of migrants from the city’s streets and detaining them.
Mexico’s National Migration Agency has not released the cause of the fire or the nationalities of the victims, who have opened an investigation into the fire, which injured 29 people.
Viangli, a Venezuelan immigrant, reacts to her injured husband Edward Caraballo outside an ambulance as Mexican authorities and firefighters remove injured migrants from inside the National Migration Agency building.
Emergency workers stand next to the bodies of migrants who died in the fire, mostly from Venezuela.
“It is with deep sadness and regret that we learned of the fire at the INM in Ciudad Juarez,” Andrea Chavez, federal deputy of Ciudad Juarez, tweeted on Tuesday.
We will wait for official information and from this moment forward, we send our condolences to the families of the migrants. The FGR opened an investigation,” Chavez said.
Body bags were lined up near the scene of the fire, which was extinguished, a witness told Reuters. Most of the immigrants at the center are Venezuelans, witnesses was added.
Viangly Infante, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, told the agency, “I’ve been waiting for my children’s father since one in the afternoon, and around 10 at night, smoke started coming from everywhere.”
Her husband, 27-year-old Eduard Caraballo, was inside the detention center and survived by spraying water on himself, as Infante said he saw several dead bodies.
The fires have been among the worst in recent years in Mexico, which has seen record levels along its border with the United States.
Earlier this year, the Biden administration Accelerated efforts Limit the number of migrants at the border.
In February, it released a new rule that would largely bar immigrants who travel to other countries en route to a shared border from applying for asylum in the United States, marking a departure from decades of precedent in proposed regulations reminiscent of Trump-era policy.
CNN has reached out to Mexican immigration officials for a report on the fire.
The most concrete evidence of the ice thawing between the Packers and Jets came on Monday, when Green Bay GM Brian Gudkunst admitted his team won’t get a first-round pick for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That statement could be interpreted as a sign that the Packers have finally abandoned their insistence on a package highlighted by the surrender of the 13th overall pick in the upcoming draft.
But it also points to the possibility of a first-round pick in 2024 based on future events.
Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports The latest is from ArizonaAll the teams could come together and finally settle their differences in a deal that is becoming increasingly inevitable for the two teams at the current center of the NFL’s universe.
We’re told the Jets will part with a pair of second-round picks. As Robinson characterizes the current talks, Green Bay will receive a second-round pick in 2023 and a second-round pick in 2024, which could move to a first-round pick in 2023 based on how the Jets do with Rodgers on the team.
Also at issue is the fact that Rodgers, who says he was 90 percent leaning toward retirement when he embarked on the latest Dark Retreat, would only spend a year in New York before calling it a career. The Jets want protection against that possibility, in the form of Big returning to New York in 2025.
While it won’t be easy to push a deal over the finish line, it looks like discussions have crossed a square as the Packers dug in their heels in anticipation of New York’s round-one pick in 2023.
Why wouldn’t the Packers let the 2024 pick depend on team and/or player performance in 2023? Both franchises used a similar device in 2008 when Brett Favre made the trek from the frozen tundra to the Oversized Apple. And why not protect the Jets against the possibility that Rodgers decides to call it quits after just one season?
The Packers are clearly done with Rodgers. Whatever they get for a guy who never plays for them again is a bonus. If they end up with a second-round pick this year, as well as a first-round pick next year, and ultimately have to give back a mid-round pick in 2025, that’s already a nice parting gift for the franchise. Mentally parted ways with another franchise quarterback — Favre to Rodgers to Jordan Love in a clumsy Baden exchange just in time to find out if they’ll go three for three.
Jonathan Majors was arraigned Sunday on multiple assault and harassment charges, according to the Manhattan DA’s office.
In the complaint, the unnamed female accuser says the defendant “struck her in the face with an open hand, causing significant pain and a scratch behind her ear.” He also claims he “put his hand on the neck, causing bruising and considerable pain”.
Majors was arrested Saturday in Manhattan in connection with a “domestic dispute.” He was charged with multiple counts of assault in the third degree, three counts of attempted assault in the third degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree and one count of harassment in the second degree.
The DA’s office says a judge released Majors on his own recognizance and provided a limited defense.
His attorney denied the claims, saying “Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and may have been the victim of an argument with a woman he knew.” His criminal lawyer Priya Chaudhary added, “We are rapidly gathering evidence and submitting it to the District Collector with the expectation that all charges will be dropped immediately.”
Chaudhary also says there is video footage from the vehicle where the incident allegedly took place, witness testimony from the driver and bystanders, and two written statements by the woman denying the allegations.
A representative for Majors also denied the allegations. “He’s done nothing wrong,” his publicist said Variety week end. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this.”
Majors recently appeared in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania.” He also won acclaim for “Magazine Dreams,” which premiered at Sundance and was acquired by Searchlight Pictures. Releasing on Dec. 8.
First Citizens Bancshares will buy Silicon Valley Bank, the California lender whose collapse sent shock waves across the financial sector this month.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of the Silicon Valley bank on March 10 after the deposits went bankrupt. FDIC, which announced the agreement As of late Sunday, the bank is looking for a buyer in whole or in pieces.
When the government took over Silicon Valley Bank was the 16th largest bank in the country. Its collapse was the biggest bank failure in the US since the 2008 financial crisis.
The deal for the bank, which became Silicon Valley Bridge Bank after the FDIC takeover, included about $72 billion in borrowings, a $16.5 billion write-down, and a $56 billion deposit swap. About $90 billion in Silicon Valley Bank securities and other assets were not included in the sale, and remained under the control of the FDIC.
The bank regulator will acquire rights attached to First Citizen’s stake, which could be worth up to $500 million. The FDIC estimated that the cost of Silicon Valley Bank’s failure to fund the government’s deposit insurance fund would be about $20 billion.
First Citizens and the FDIC will share in losses on loans included in the transaction arranged This often occurs in the sale of failed banks. For example, the FDIC agreed to reimburse First Citizens for half of the more than $5 billion in losses on its portfolio of commercial loans transferred in the deal.
17 former Silicon Valley bank branches in California and Massachusetts will open under the Citizens umbrella starting Monday. Its depositors will automatically become customers of First Citizens.
SVB Financial, the former parent company of Silicon Valley Bank, filed for bankruptcy on March 17. Investment manager SVB Capital and brokerage firm SVB Securities also plan to conduct a separate process to sell the various units.
The collapse of the Silicon Valley bank sent shockwaves through the global financial sector.
On March 19, New York Community Bancorp bought parts of the defunct Signature Bank, a week after the FDIC took over its operations. The deal includes approximately $38 billion in assets, including $12.9 billion in debt purchased at a $2.7 billion discount. About $60 billion of Signature’s loans were not included in the deal, and the FDIC estimated the bank’s collapse would cost the government’s deposit insurance fund $2.5 billion.
At the same time, Switzerland’s biggest bank, UBS, agreed to buy its smaller rival Credit Suisse for about $3.2 billion in a deal hastily arranged by the Swiss government. The collapse of the Silicon Valley bank spooked markets, and investors quickly lost faith in Credit Suisse, which has been plagued by scandals and mismanagement for years. Fears have spread to other banks in Europe, prompting authorities to stress the strength of rules and tightening of supervision in the region.
Banking regulators around the world have moved quickly to boost confidence in the system. The Federal Reserve, Bank of Canada, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank have said they are working to make US dollar financing more readily available. The central bank has also set up an emergency lending program to provide additional support to banks.
U.S. regulators have said all depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank will be refunded in full, and some lawmakers have urged the cap on deposit insurance — currently set at $250,000 — to be raised or eliminated. The rapid loss of deposits at mid-sized banks has led some, such as First Republic and Pacwest, to tap credit facilities and seek other deals to bolster their balance sheets.
Shares of mid-sized lenders, which took a hit after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, rose in premarket trading on Monday. First Citizens rose by about 40 percent and First Republic by 20 percent.
First Citizens, based in Raleigh, NC, has more than 500 branches in 22 states. The bank was founded in 1898, and describes itself as the largest family-owned bank in the United States. It has been run by the same family for three generations.
Deposits have increased by $1.3 billion since the start of the year, the bank said on Monday. After the deal, the bank will have more than $40 billion in cash on hand.
The bank has grown significantly in recent years by acquiring more than 20 government-captured lenders. The bank’s assets have grown from $20 billion a decade ago to more than $100 billion, and the acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank will more than double those assets in one stroke.
First Citizens was the 30th largest bank in the U.S. by assets at the end of last year. (Silicon Valley Bank was the 16th-largest bank at the time.) After the acquisition, First Citizens is poised to break into the top 20.
The deal deepens First Citizens’ footprint in California and also includes Silicon Valley Bank’s wealth management business, which runs their personal finances through the bank for many tech executives.
“We have partnered with the FDIC to successfully complete more FDIC-assisted transactions since 2009 than any other bank, and we appreciate the FDIC’s confidence in us again,” Frank B. Holding, Jr., chief executive of First Citizens, said in a statement.
WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Raleigh, North Carolina.
17 former branches of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, will open as First Citizens Bank and Trust Company on Monday, March 27, 2023. Customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association should continue to use their existing branch. Receive notification from First Citizens Bank and Trust Company that system changes have been completed to allow full-service banking at all of its other branch locations.
Depositors of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association will automatically become depositors of First Citizens Bank and Trust Company. All deposits assumed by First Citizens Bank and Trust Company will continue to be insured by the FDIC up to the limit of insurance.
As of March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, had approximately $167 billion in total assets and approximately $119 billion in total deposits. In today’s transaction, approximately $72 billion of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association’s assets were purchased at a discount of $16.5 billion. Approximately $90 billion in securities and other assets will remain in receivership for issuance by the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC acquired equity appreciation rights in First Citizens BancShares, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina, common stock with a potential value of up to $500 million.
The FDIC and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company entered into a loss-share transaction on commercial loans acquired by National Association, a former Silicon Valley bridge bank. The FDIC Receiver and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company will share in the losses and potential recoveries of the loans covered by the loss-share agreement. A loss-share transaction is predicted to maximize the return on assets by keeping them private. The transaction is also expected to reduce disruptions for loan customers. Additionally, First Citizens Bank & Trust Company will undertake all qualified financing agreements related to the loan.
The FDIC estimates the cost of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) at approximately $20 billion. The exact cost will be determined when the FDIC terminates receivership.
The FDIC created Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, a national association, following the closure of Silicon Valley Bank by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. All deposits—insured and uninsured—and substantially all assets and all qualifying financial contracts of Silicon Valley Bank were transferred to Bridge Bank. The purpose of establishing Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association was to allow the FDIC time to stabilize the institution and market the franchise.
