Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:00:02 GMT

By LARRY NEUMEISTER (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — A jury awarded more than $1.2 million to Robert De Niro’s former personal assistant Thursday, finding that a company he formed to look after his personal needs was liable for gender discrimination and retaliation after the former assistant accused the actor of subjecting her to a toxic work environment.While the jury found De Niro was not personally liable for the abuse, they said his company, Canal Productions, should make two payments of $632,142 to his longtime personal assistant, Graham Chase Robinson. De Niro, who spent three days at the two-week trial — including two on the witness stand — has been ensnared in dueling lawsuits with Robinson since she quit in April 2019. He was not in the courtroom when the verdict was read aloud on Thursday afternoon. Robinson, 41, testified that De Niro, 80, and his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, teamed up against her to turn a job she once loved into a nightmare. She sm...

What's that smell? Behind Missouri's foul fall odors

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:00:02 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- What's that smell? A lot of people across the region woke up Thursday asking that question. Our metrologists got messages about the musty odor and a post started circulating on the local sub-Reddit searching for answers.Some people describe the odor as smelling like dog droppings. We're getting those questions mostly from rural readers.They're probably right. One of the most likely explanations is that the smell is from farmers laying manure on the fields during the fall. Farmers will often wait until later in the season to lay a liquid slurry on fields. They're looking for temperatures around 50 degrees. Anything warmer will cause the nutrients to degrade before winter hits.That's not the only thing wafting nasty smells into the air. Plus, you may be more aware of your sense of smell during this time of year. Have a $2 bill? It could be worth thousands Theresa Crimmins, director of the USA National Phenology Network, explains that cooler temperatures and crisper air...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:00:02 GMT

Michael Malone read the box score without double-taking and laid out his expectation.“Eight rebounds, 17 points, two blocks,” the Nuggets coach said after a 108-105 win over the Warriors on Wednesday night. “That should be the standard for Michael Porter. We shouldn’t be surprised by it. We should expect it every night.”The more Malone is asked about increased maturity or defensive evolution for Michael Porter Jr., the more he doubles down on his belief that what spectators envision as Porter at his best should actually be Porter at his average. He has an individual net rating of plus-13 points per 100 possessions so far this season.“I should perform every night,” Porter said. “If my three’s not falling, I’ve gotta get to the line. I’ve gotta crash the glass. I’ve gotta get some easy ones. When my three is falling, that’s how those games turn into really big games. But I should be producing every night on the glass, scoring the b...
