During the 2016 elections, refugees coming from Syria to the States were a topic that brought Syria back to the front page. But after that, it slowly faded into the background. That does not mean that all is quiet on that front. Living conditions have deteriorated poorly while the regime behind all the tragedies is still in power. We learn how Assad survived this, including becoming one of the world's top manufacturers and distributors of the drug Captagon.Eyad came to Louisiana from Syria in August 2012 as a graduate student. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Louisiana State in 2018.

According to the National Weather Service it will be sunny with a high near 35 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area on Friday. On Friday night it will be mostly cloudy, with a low of around 25 degrees. It will be windy, so definitely wear that coat you were already thinking of wearing. Winds of 10 to 15 mph could gust more than 20 mph.For the second time this election week, state elections officials spent Thursday dealing with an error in Linn County as the statewide counting of Iowans' votes from Tuesday's election continues with another recount ordered.In addition to a recalculation of Linn County's vote totals due to an error in the reporting of its early vote counts, partial recounts also were conducted Thursday in Warren and Des Moines counties. The partial recounts were ordered by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate after irregularities were discovered Tuesday night. In addition, on Thursday afternoon, Pate ordered an administrative recount of absentee ballots in Scott County. All election results in Iowa are considered unofficial until they are reviewed and certified by the state's canvassing board.Unofficial results in Linn County came Thursday only after a recalculation of the county's vote totals due to a second error made by the county auditor's office.According to the Secretary of State's office, Linn County reported 600 more absentee ballots than the office had actually received at the time the polls closed. The discrepancy was discovered by the Secretary of State's office, which then alerted the Linn County Auditor's Office.According to the Linn County Auditor's Office, a computer froze while the county's absentee ballot counts were being uploaded. The process was completed on a backup computer, but officials believe 600 ballots were inadvertently reported twice — once during the original attempt and again during the backup attempt.The Linn County Auditor's Office resolved the tabulation of the county's votes, and the posted results were corrected, the Secretary of State's office said. The Secretary of State's office took the opportunity to chide the county again for not following procedures it had laid out.A 16-year-old faces charges related to a shooting near Mount Mercy University and Regis Middle School last week that injured a Mount Mercy student and caused several schools to lock down.Natorian Nicholas Smith, of Cedar Rapids, faces several charges in connection to the shooting.

His murder case is suspended pending the outcome.Sixth Judicial District Judge Jason Besler said Samuel Elijah Goodwin, 23, will have an evaluation by an independent psychologist, as requested by defense, and a status conference will be set in early January.Pending the results of that evaluation, the prosecution may ask the court to have another evaluation by a state psychologist.Goodwin, charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment resulting in death, admitted to police to assaulting the infant by throwing him in a crib and slamming his head into the floor because he wouldn't stop crying, according to a criminal complaint.It's time for another Fall Back transition.Daylight saving time is out, and standard time is in this weekend.Standard time begins at 2 a.m. local time Sunday and lasts until March 12.Remember to set your manual clocks back an hour before going to bed Saturday night.

Mike Battien, Cedar Rapids Police Department's public safety spokesman, said one adult male was injured and went to Regis seeking medical help.The victim was identified by Mount Mercy University as a student who was out for a jog at the time of the shooting. Battien said the student “may have been an innocent bystander.” He was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.Battien said police were working to identify the shooter or shooters, and it's possible people were shooting at each other in the area when the jogger was hit.A University of Iowa student has been hospitalized after falling out of a sixth-floor window at Mayflower Residence Hall early Thursday.UI police were called to Mayflower at 4:22 a.m. for a report of a student falling out the window and landing on the hall's north roof — meaning he fell about five stories, according to UI Public Safety spokeswoman Hayley Bruce.Initial reports are that the fall was an accident. Students said they were “playing around in a residence hall room when one student leaned back and fell through the screen of an open window,” Bruce said.The student, who was not identified, was able to speak with first responders when they arrived, and he was transported to UI Hospitals and Clinics for treatment.More than seven years after a Cedar Rapids contractor first sued the University of Iowa over delayed payment for work on a pair of high-profile projects — Hancher Auditorium and the Stead Family Children's Hospital — a jury has delivered another blow to the UI, ordering it to pay another $12.8 million to the contractor.A jury last week deliberated just over an hour before finding the UI in April 2016 wrongfully blocked the American Arbitration Association from refereeing its disputes with Modern Piping on both the Hancher and hospital projects.The judgment will further swell expenses tied to the 14-story Children's Hospital — which originally had a $270.8 million price tag but as of today has cost more than $400 millionThe latest judgment against UI is essentially a penalty for dragging its feet after losing a ruling against Modern Piping. As a result of the delay, Modern Piping filed a counterclaim seeking compensation for all the costs of the university's original refusal to arbitrate.

Tiffany O'Donnell talks to Annette McNamara. In Sept 2018, long time photographer Annette, had an idea for her own photoshoot. Growing up she struggled with her self-image and allowed other's negative words to affect how she saw herself. Beautiful Strength was born out of a need to say those struggles out loud and finally accept herself for who she was. No filters, no Photoshop, just her and her words. That one idea blossomed into an initial shoot that consisted of 45 people. Little did she know that throwing this positivity out into the world would connect to a bigger purpose… the need for ALL people, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, political views, economic status, whatever… to be heard and have a chance to connect with others. Annette never could have imagined that one shoot would lead to so many awesome stories and connections. She believes everyone deserves to be told I see you, you are beautiful, you are strong, and you are loved. On today's episode, Annette talks about her project, Beautiful Strength and what inspired her to name her sparkly bus, Atticus.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Thursday, September 23. It should be another sunny and pleasant day Thursday. According to the National Weather Service the high in the Cedar Rapids area will be near 73 degrees, with a calm win. The sky will remain clear Thursday night, with a low around 49 degrees. The COVID-19 situation in Iowa continues to worsen, although thankfully not yet at exponential levels. As of Wednesday, 638 people were hospitalized with the COVID-19, the most since Dec. 23 when 644 people were hospitalized, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. Additionally, 161 patients were in intensive care units — the most since Dec. 15 — and 74 patients were on ventilators to help them breathe. In addition, the number of available intensive care beds in Iowa is at its lowest level since March 2020, with 182 beds available across the state. In an abrupt development and without explanation from her, Dr. Caitlin Pedati's resignation as  Iowa's Department of Public Health was announced Wednesday. One of the central figures in the state's ongoing response to the pandemic, Pedati plans to leave in late October, according to a news release from the state, which included comments from Gov. Kim Reynolds and interim state public health Director Kelly Garcia, but not Pedati. When asked, the state public health department did not say why the announcement didn't contain any comments from Pedati. A department spokeswoman would not make her available for an interview, saying Pedati's focus is “working with her team to prepare for this transition.” The announcement said Pedati plans to pursue new career opportunities A 21-year-old Mount Mercy University student died this week from COVID-19, according to a https://www.mtmercy.edu/news-events/news/2021/09/ashley-hudson (campus letter) from university President Todd Olson. Ashley Hudson — who Olson said was an “aspiring kindergarten teacher and had dreams of becoming a Mount Mercy graduate” — died Monday as a result of COVID complications. Mount Mercy held a vigil at the campus' Chapel of Mercy on Monday, also providing grief counselors for anyone needing them. Three semi-trailer trucks collided Wednesday morning on Highway 151 near Springville, sending one driver to the hospital with injuries. Linn County deputies were called to the crash just after 7 a.m. near the highway's intersection with Wendling Lane. Deputies reported Michael Lacourciere, 60, of Morton, Ill., was driving west, with his semi pulling an oversized load, when he failed to notice a construction zone that narrowed the highway to one lane. Lacourciere stopped his semi in the roadway, pulled onto the shoulder and began to back up. This brought westbound traffic to a stop, deputies said, causing a semi, driven by Gary Schulte, 60, of New Vienna, to run into the back of another semi driven by Wayne Myhre, 64, of Bloomington, Wis. The collision pushed Myhre's semi into a third semi, driven by Ronald Fagan, 64, of Onslow. Myhre was taken to the hospital for treatment of what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

The unexpected twin brother of actor Christopher “Ashton” Kutcher, Michael met his first of many challenges at birth. Entering the world notably smaller than his twin at less than five pounds, Michael was hardly responsive and struggled to take his first breath. Thanks to outstanding medical care and his instinct to survive, Michael pulled through his first days and weeks, although not without lasting adverse effects. By age three, Michael was battling significant developmental delays and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy before entering Kindergarten. Throughout his childhood, Michael’s innate desire to thrive helped him overcome issues with eyesight, speech, and motor skill development. Michael grew up in a loving and supportive family that taught him the value of the health he did have and to make the best of his circumstances. Unfortunately, Michael’s uphill battle was only getting started. Diagnosed with heart failure at age 13, Michael was once again faced with an unthinkable challenge of survival. After being given a life expectancy of just three to four weeks, Michael again defeated the odds and successfully received a life-saving heart transplant. It was this second close brush with death that opened Michael’s eyes to the fragility of life and inspired him to take control of the future he once thought he wouldn’t have. Michael graduated from Clear Creek Amana High School in 1996 and later continued his education, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and Finance from Mount Mercy University. His medical triumphs and perspective on Cerebral Palsy have led him to work directly with The Cerebral Palsy Foundation and Donate Life as an advocate and public speaker. His determination and passion have even brought him as far as Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., where Michael has raised awareness for local and national fundraising initiatives. Michael has also brought his profound story and message to the Center for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health. When he’s not advocating for Disability and Organ Donation awareness, Michael is inspiring audiences around the nation. Michael resides in Denver, Colorado, where he’s built a successful career with Transamerica Retirement Solutions. In his free time, Michael enjoys spending time with his family, traveling and playing golf. Michael’s message is one of inspiration, hope and appreciation. Michael teaches people how to turn their obstacles into opportunities and to embrace “Diffabilities” versus our “Disabilities.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Friday, March 12. You should try and enjoy the sunny weather Friday, because we are going to be reminded it isn't quite spring yet in the coming week. According to the National Weather Service it should be mostly sunny with a high near 55 degrees Friday with a mild wind. The forecast has rainy, and potentially snowy days ahead on Saturday through Monday, with colder highs expected next week even when the sun re-emerges. COVID-19 likely will go down as the third-leading cause of death in Iowa in 2020. 4,667 Iowans were confirmed to have died as a result of the disease by Dec. 31, public health data shows. Iowa's first COVID-19 death was recorded on March 24, 2020. If the state's five-year averages for causes of death hold true for 2020, only cancer and heart disease will have claimed more Iowans' lives than COVID-19 last year. COVID-19 also made 2020 the deadliest year in Iowa on record, and the increase in total deaths over the previous year was dramatic. Deaths in Iowa jumped more than 15 percent in 2020, according to state data, largely due to those nearly 5,000 COVID-19-related deaths. There are many signs that the COVID-19 situation in the state is improving, as more and more Iowans become vaccinated for the disease. Still health experts caution that it is still important to practice safety precautions, to wear masks in public and wash hands frequently, until the spread of the disease can be brought under a semblance of control. In other signs that things are improving, the Iowa Board of Regents announced Thursday that they will be lifting some international travel restrictions they put in place as the virus spread rapidly this time last year. Mount Mercy University announced that they are planning full in-person classes this fall. Several private colleges also joined Iowa's universities in announcing they will have in-person graduation ceremonies this year. Iowa Workforce Development reported a decrease in unemployment claims for the week of Feb. 28 for the second consecutive week. New claims increased from 4,216 to 5,531, but continuing claims decreased from 48,389 to 44,827. It marked the fewest continuing jobless claims since the week of Jan. 2. About 40.9 percent of claims were related to coronavirus, according to state officials, which was up from 37.8 percent in the previous week and signaled a decrease in seasonal layoffs that are prevalent between November and February. Iowa's unemployment numbers continue to hover at a higher rate than were seen prior than the pandemic, but they have bottomed out compared to the catastrophic peak of last spring.

Season 1, Episode 25: Andrea Schoenbeck Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, Andrea Schoenbeck. Andrea was born in Carroll, Iowa and grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She attended undergrad at the University of Northern Iowa and completed her master's through Mount Mercy University. Andrea and her husband grew up 45 minutes away from each other in Iowa, but met in London, England on a blind date while he was stationed there for the Air Force and she was working for the summer with Camp Adventure. They have been married for 15 years and have three children: Inga (10), Elsa (8), Thomas (6). Also, they have a black cat, Esmeralda, and a Welsh Terrier, Sadie. She has been teaching for 13 years and she has taught about everything from kindergarten through 6th grade. Currently, she is teaching 1st grade at Nixon Elementary in Hiawatha, Iowa. She is serving her 4th year on the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) Executive Board at her children's school. Recently she accepted a board position at Camp Wyoming located in Wyoming, Iowa. It is a Presbyterian camp and retreat center that she attended as a child, volunteered as a counselor as a teenager, and worked as a staff member the summer after graduating from high school. Her children now attend this same camp and she said it's fun for her to see how things have stayed the same yet changed so much! She spends a lot of time volunteering at her children's school, driving the kids to and from their activities, and cheering them on at dance competitions, recitals, and wrestling practice/meets…hence her slight caffeine addiction. She enjoys reading, when she has the chance, and traveling with her family. Andrea and her husband have weekly date nights on their couch, after their kids are in bed, when they watch "Walking Dead." Her husband serves in the Air National Guard and is currently deployed so these date nights have to sometimes take place over the phone. Her life truly revolves around my family and she wouldn't have it any other way.

The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands: An Interview with Dr. Bryan Cross on Creation and the Justice Due Our Fellow Creatures. Dr. Bryan Cross is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, IA. He joins us today to speak about the difference the Common Good and Catholic Social Teaching make when considering "environmentalism" or "nature." Regard as Creation, and seen as a "mutual harmony" between creatures, the flavor of the discussion changes dramatically. Utilizing Pope Francis's encyclical "Laudato Si," the conversation digs deep into why this truly is not an issue that can be contained to or by one "political side."
