has been honored with the Norman and Trygve Freed Early Career Professorship in Physics Trygve Freed — whose husband Norman Freed (1936-2014) joined the Penn State faculty in the Department of Physics in 1965 was named associate dean of Penn State's Eberly College of Science in 1979 and served in that position until he retired in 2011 — established the professorship to support outstanding early-career faculty in physics in the Penn State Eberly College of Science The professorship offers recognition for outstanding early accomplishments and provides financial support to encourage promising young faculty members to establish a commitment to teaching and exploring new areas of research Carmona is a particle astrophysicist who studies dark matter an invisible substance estimated to makes up approximately 85 percent of the matter of the universe and shapes the form and movement of galaxies and contributes to the universe’s large-scale structure Direct detection of dark matter has eluded scientists since its existence was first suggested in 1933 and the quest to find out what dark matter is made of is considered one of the most pressing questions in physics Carmona helped to build and is a key member of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector located in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) a former gold mine nearly one mile underground in Lead LZ is more than 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment She is also working on the design of the cryogenics system and detector for LZ-XENON/DARWIN (XLZD) a future next-generation xenon-based detector “Carmen is a very successfully experimentalist and made significant contributions to the hardware and commissioning of both LZ and LUX,” said Mauricio Terrones Downsbrough Head of the Department of Physics at Penn State “She has also served on the executive committee or board for both collaborations which collectively govern more than 250 researchers In addition to her scientific contributions she is an excellent mentor to her graduate and undergraduate students and is an active member of the Department of Physics We are proud to recognize her many achievements with this professorship." Carmona is an expert on detector hardware and operations she is leveraging her experience and expertise in developing dark matter experiments to pursue research and development that pushes the sensitivity of detectors beyond what current technology allows In recognition of her research accomplishments Prior to joining the faculty at Penn State Carmona was an assistant project scientist from 2014 to 2017 and a postdoctoral research associate from 2013 to 2014 at the University of California Carmona was a postdoctoral research associate at Case Western University from 2009 to 2013 She earned a doctoral degree in physics in 2009 a master’s degree in physics and mathematics in 2006 and a bachelor’s degree in physics in 2004 at the University of Granada Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInPUNTA GORDA (WWSB) - A 20-year-old undocumented alien from Mexico has been arrested for sexually battering a 13-year-old in Charlotte County the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said Samuel Cobos Carmona is accused of entering the back yard of the victim’s home where the victim and his younger brother were playing hide-and seek According to sworn statements from the boy’s parents the brothers were playing behind the family’s apartment at about 9:30 p.m when a man entered the yard and began playing with them According to these statements in a heavily redacted probable cause affidavit the man asked the boy if he wanted to touch him held him down and pulled down the boy’s pants The man covered the boy’s mouth to muffle screams and sexually assaulted him the boy lay still until his younger brother found him The victim was afraid to tell anyone about the assault until about a week later when he told the mother of one of his friends That woman convinced the boy to tell his parents about the attack the victim was referred to the Child Advocacy Center for a medical examination The victim’s father suggested Carmona as a possible suspect said he had been playing hide-and-seek with the children that night but denied any sexual misconduct Carmona was arrested and charged with lewd or lascivious battery by engaging in sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but less than 16 He is being held in the Charlotte County Jail The Department of Homeland Security also issued a warrant for Carmona’s arrest for being in the country illegally stresses the importance of global collaboration in cancer research to enhance understanding and treatment across diverse populations In an interview with The American Journal of Managed Care® at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2025 in Chicago professor at the UC Davis School of Medicine emphasizes the importance of international collaboration in expanding global cancer research Carvajal-Carmona will further explore this topic on Tuesday during the session "Advancing Cancer Research in Understudied Populations by Engaging With Local and Global Communities," in his presentation "How Can Global Health Research Help Us Advance Fighting Cancer for Everyone?" This transcript has been lightly edited; captions were auto-generated why is global health research so important when it comes to advancing cancer research and care We live in an interconnected world and an increasingly diverse society we can advance the understanding of the disease There are many examples in which discoveries in developing countries are helping people here in America which areas of cancer research are currently the most well-established or advanced I will say the areas of infectious-related cancers cancers that are caused by infection; I would say that is an area where more progress has been made We have learned a lot about cervical cancer and stomach cancer by studying people in other countries what areas are still underdeveloped and in need of greater attention I think there are a lot of new environmental exposures that we don't know how they are causing cancer I think there is a lot of work needed on that on understanding cancer etiology caused by new agents most cancer cases are now happening in developing countries there are some ideas about westernization and the adoption of the Western lifestyle but there are other elements that we still need to understand which populations worldwide remain underrepresented in cancer research we know very little about cancer in Africa; Southeast Asia If we understand more about cancer in this population but it also will help everyone because cancer is a disease that affects everyone What strategies or efforts can help expand global cancer research and improve the representation of diverse populations within it It's difficult to do cancer research because funding is lower I think it's important to help scientists and clinicians in developing countries support their own research Capacity building in terms of training people in these countries will go a long way because they could start doing research locally I will say it's important to have collaborations that are equitable If we are collaborating with clinicians and scientists in developing countries to study cancer Can you elaborate on the role international collaboration plays in advancing cancer research How can it be strengthened to better benefit diverse populations worldwide I think we still need to know a lot about cancer If we only study cancer in North America and in Europe it will take us longer to beat the disease If we expand our horizons and we look at cancer patients and families in other places of the world we will understand more about how this disease develops and we will be able to develop ways to prevent it and treat it It is important for us to increase these collaborations and to study other populations The United States plays an outside role in funding cancer research on the planet What is important for us in the collaborations is to establish that there is a component of training that knowledge we come up with strategies that people in these countries can use to start to develop their own studies and research and they get the credit for the important findings that we are obtaining from these collaborations what are currently the most exciting or promising areas of global cancer research I think anything that has to do with vaccines for cancer prevention is exciting the use of genomics to understand cancer etiology We know there are unique lifestyle and environmental exposures in some countries people are using genomics to really understand what are the consequences of being exposed to unique carcinogens COA 2025: Insight, Innovation, and Independent Strength New Research

from the Universidad Católica de Chile A tight race to fill the vacant District 2 seat on the Peoria City Council has drawn to a close half the people voted for her,” said Carmona “Now it's my duty to show the people who voted for her and me that I was the right decision.” Carmona finishes less than two percentage points ahead of Diaz (50.8%-49.2%) with the PCEC reporting voter turnout of around 24% Carmona ran his campaign with a strong focus on business growth and development. In interviews with WCBU he emphasized his support for a “hands off” government approach to business Carmona says listening to constituents is a key priority for the position and I’m meeting them and hearing their concerns,” he said Diaz says while she admits the race for the seat is more than likely over but I think I still would like a little bit of transparency and just to give that to the voters as well,” she said Diaz says she plans to run for office again and will take the lessons learned from this first campaign into any future races One of those lessons is including a wider range of issues in her platform you don't realize how many issues that the city has,” said Diaz I started to just uncover more and more and more.” Diaz hopes her first campaign will be generally encouraging for more people to attempt a run for political office if there's someone like me who is the working class person who just really has the heart and the ambition to run and the courage Diaz argues that working class candidates can feel stretched thin by the demands of campaigning but those interested shouldn’t let financial barriers stop them from building a run for office Both candidates have commended the other throughout the campaign for running a clean they both emphasize the importance of authenticity to their political aspirations “I'm not going to change who I am because I'm in this position,” said Carmona “I'm going to continue to be basically a regular person who believes in Peoria and that is there to talk to people and try to help them.” Diaz has been outspoken in the community on issues like advocating for a Palestine ceasefire and other progressive causes She believes the close race demonstrates an appetite for progressive politics in the district “In the sense of it being a shift in people like we saw now,” she said “I definitely think that this is what people are wanting in regards to just not holding back anymore and not being afraid to take certain stances.” Carmona will be sworn in during a special Peoria City Council meeting on May 6 Become a WCBU sponsor Become a member of THIRTEEN ($5 monthly or $60 annually) and get access to THIRTEEN Passport as our thanks for your support Members get extended access to PBS video on demand and more Firing Line | Episode | Richard CarmonaAs Robert F nears confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary Richard Carmona discusses Kennedy’s controversial history activist and commentator Margaret Hoover for a public affairs talk show that delivers a civil and engaging contest of ideas among the brightest minds and voices from across the ideological spectrum ©2025 WNET THIRTEEN is part of The WNET Group and is operated by WNET a non-profit organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code Dozens of your favorite THIRTEEN and PBS programs are available to watch on-demand on many popular platforms The Allen Park Chapel - Martenson Family of Funeral Homes Peoria will get a new city councilperson for its prominent 2nd District Local artist Alex Carmona and Caterpillar employee Estrella Diaz have been locked in a close race to see who will replace longtime city councilman Chuck Grayeb in the 2nd District Carmona has 1,360 votes to 1,287 for Diaz as of 9:24 p.m Tuesday night with 100% of precincts reporting Carmona grabbed slightly more early votes than Diaz but Diaz held an early advantage in mail-in ballots The two were separated by just 20 votes in February's primary election Tuesday night's general election showed them separated by just 73 votes Some mail-in ballots will likely be counted in the coming days Carmona told the Journal Star on Tuesday night that he was not quite ready to declare victory given the narrow margin separating to two but he was "cautiously optimistic" that things have gone his way in the election was not ready to declare a defeat Tuesday night telling the Journal Star her campaign was going to "hold on to hope" in the coming days as more mail-in ballots were tabulated but overall tonight has been amazing just because my whole thing has been what the people feel is best and so even though personally it does kind of suck but that's just the ego speaking I am happy with how things went," Diaz said said she may run again in future elections if this one does not play out in her favor "You don't win battles but you don't always lose them," Diaz said "I am going to just keep holding onto hope but I am just very glad that I took the risk Carmona and I am really happy overall to have been on this journey and have had this experience."

He responded: “I see it as another great opportunity to feed my family Athletes are playing the hand they’re dealt in the Transfer Portal/NIL era staying invested in a team when players are shuffled in and out every season is a different experience than we’re accustomed to it’s not as much fun to root for guys on the Hill who are there to collect a paycheck it’s hard to imagine two unranked SEC teams like Arkansas and Vandy knocking off the likes of No 1 Alabama on the same day prior to the NIL era the thing fans care most about is winning.   despite a defensive domination in the first half against Tennessee anticipating a new way for the Hogs to rip out our hearts There is perhaps no team in the country as adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as Arkansas football scoring a late touchdown to win 19-14 and earn some top-25 votes in the process the game could have easily gone the other way.  Four of the next six games are against ranked SEC opponents I don’t think anybody has a clue what to expect yet somehow have never seemed more winnable.  And the notion of “Team” has never seemed more ephemeral and he’s shown the same explosiveness for the Razorbacks it would be nice to see him develop as a passer and lead the Hogs as a senior.  the next starting quarterback could arrive this offseason he could leave the following season.  “It’s kind of been known as NI-Hell,” Pittman said in August.  There doesn’t seem to be many football coaches enjoying the NIL/Transfer Portal era. According to research by 247Sports more college football coaches are making the jump to the NFL than ever before Thirty-four coaches left for NFL positions last year marking an 88.9 percent increase over the past two years and continuing a rising trend for the second consecutive season after beating the Vols and improving to 4-2 the NIL era seems to be a net positive for the Hogs.  That’s because football programs like Arkansas – thanks to a few wealthy donors – have a fair amount of NIL cash to spend relative to the program’s recent success Private donors and the players they pay often have zero obligation to report those numbers whereas the Hogs are likely in the neighborhood of $5 million according to Pig Trail Nation’s Mike Irwin Before redshirt junior Fernando Carmona transferred from San Jose State he was essentially going door-to-door to collect NIL money “I kind of had to personally go out and ask other businesses to give me money,” Carmona said recently on the Miss Understood Podcast. “Now I’m in Arkansas The way it kind of works was that it was a set contract The people have already donated the money to this big collective and that collective distributes all the money out to the players “In January they gave me a set contract that takes me all the way to December,” he explained “And then after the season and after this year they’ll renegotiate and then we’ll do it all again that’s taken a little shine off college football “Every year I feel like I’m watching a different team,” Redditor u/plasticmanufacturing commented “No consistency makes it feel like I’m not watching the Razorbacks but just random players with Razorback skins … It could have been done such that players get paid without that feeling of perpetual free-agentism.” And that seems to be common knowledge among players “I don’t think anybody gives a shit anymore,” Carmona said when asked about loyalty to a coach or a team “I came into college football in a golden era where there’s not really many rules in place for this NIL I love Arkansas and it’s not really about the money it’s about my performance and where I’m at.” To be clear, there are plenty of players in this and previous portal classes that do appear to really care, including Carmona, who has twice been named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week so far in 2024 But his comments give a little insight into the reality of players navigating NIL the transfer portal and traditional notions of team The window for making money as a football player is very short KJ Jefferson, for instance, is estimated to make more than $400k in NIL at Central Florida. But his stock isn’t looking great even on this current UCF roster after getting benched on Saturday For every Shadeur Sanders or Arch Manning that enjoy multi-million dollar NIL deals and red carpet walks to the NFL there are hundreds of players at or below the bubble trying to maximize their earnings now What we really care about is those players playing their asses off while they’re here.  emerged as arguably the best player of the Pittman era The Hogs also brought in major contributors like Jadon Haselwood the length of a player’s tenure within a program doesn’t have much to do with how hard they play In his final season as a Razorback, Jefferson seemed to lose the spark that had propelled the team in the previous two seasons It’s easy to wonder if he was eyeing greener pastures.  It’s anybody’s guess about how long NIL and the transfer portal will remain as it is, but one thing is for sure – change is coming The future of NIL and college athletics is as unpredictable as the bounce of a football.  NIL seems to have leveled the playing field between the top programs and the rest of the teams in their conferences the product on the field will determine how we feel about this era of college football If the Hogs are competitive and the players play hard Watch Fernando Carmona’s full interview starting at 2:00 here: More coverage of Arkansas football from BoAS…  Dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the multi-cultural art form of flamenco Chicago Flamenco Festival returns to the Instituto Cervantes Chicago The performance of 8 Abrazos para Lorca (8 Hugs for Lorca) immerses the audience in an evocative journey through music and poetry in a heartfelt tribute to the timeless legacy of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca Led by the extraordinary flamenco guitarist Juan Habichuela Nieto this performance weaves together the passion and emotion of flamenco with the deep cultural roots of Lorca’s work offering a moving homage that brings together the essence of the Andalucia the poet called home Return to events calendar More info Sign up Get the guide Contact us © 2025 Choose Chicago.

In Seabrook in 2024, Walker said, of the six drug overdoses police recorded, five related to the use of fentanyl, sometimes in combination with other drugs like heroin. And fentanyl was involved in the two overdose deaths Seabrook recorded in 2024, Walker said. According to Walker, fentanyl is in the “top tier” of illegal drugs on the scene today, with cocaine and methamphetamine also showing a resurgence in the illicit drug trade, along with heroin. Walker said, according to his experience, fentanyl began taking its toll on the lives of those addicted to opioids as early as 2017 when he witnessed a spike in drug overdoses plaguing the community. Originally produced legally by pharmaceutical companies and available only by prescription for use in surgery, in cases of severe pain and advanced-stage cancers, fentanyl is a synthetic – or lab-made – opioid. According to the CDC, fentanyl is considered 50 times more potent than the illegal opiate heroin, and 100 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl trafficked by drug cartels today is not pharmaceutical grade but concocted in illegal laboratories at a much lower cost than heroin. Produced in powder, pill and even liquid form, according to the CDC, fentanyl looks like other drugs and prescription pills, and it’s commonly combined with other drugs like heroin or counterfeit prescription opiates. Many people may not even know the illegal drugs they’re purchasing contain fentanyl and are more potent. According to the CDC, “Synthetic opioids like fentanyl contribute to nearly 70% of overdoses.
