CLEVELAND, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The foodservice and carryout market for folding cartons is expected to expand much more quickly than average through 2026, finds a new Freedonia Group analysis. The importance of takeout and delivery - including online orders, which surged during the COVID-19 pandemic – will be a key driver of growth.

While consumer interest in sustainability is boosting use of paper folding cartons (which are seen as recyclable and biodegradable) in place of single-use plastics, sealable plastic packaging continues to provide strong competition for some foodservice items, as consumers are most concerned that their food arrives intact and plastic containers have higher leak resistance than cartons.

INDIANAPOLIS — It’s gone from 10 schools to 11, 12, 14 and soon 16 with the additions of UCLA and USC, all while somehow remaining the Big Ten.

COVINGTON, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 26, 2022--

The Oakland City Council approved on Tuesday a $1.5 million payout to conclude a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former police chief. The payout to Anne Kirkpatrick includes a year's salary as well as legal costs after a federal jury sided with her in May. Kirkpatrick was hired in 2017 as the first woman to lead the troubled police department. But the civilian commission that oversees police voted to fire her in 2020. They said she was lagging on reforms but Kirkpatrick said she was fired for calling out unethical behavior by the commission and a federal jury sided with her.

Mets star pitchers Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom are both set to start, albeit not in the same ballpark. Scherzer faces the Yankees on Wednesday night in the wrapup of this two-game Subway Series at Citi Field. The Yanks got off to a fast start Tuesday night when Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 38th home run in the first inning and Anthony Rizzo followed with a homer. DeGrom is scheduled to make what could be his final minor league rehab start when he pitches for Triple-A Syracuse. The two-time NL Cy Young Award hasn’t thrown in the majors since July 7, 2021.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is back in the batter’s box, and the San Diego Padres’ $340 million star could face live pitching later this week. Tatis took batting practice with teammates before Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, his first rounds with the club since breaking his left wrist in spring training. The 23-year-old is expected to begin facing live pitching later this week, then begin a minor league rehab assignment before eventually making his season debut with the big league team. Tatis looked well Tuesday and hit several balls into the left-field stands.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones defended Mike McCarthy following an offseason of speculation about the coach's future. At a news conference prior to the start of training camp, Jones said McCarthy was brought back for a third season leading the team because he offered the best chance for the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl. Despite leading Dallas to a 12-5 record and the NFC East title last season, there were questions about McCarthy's job security after losing 23-17 to the San Francisco 49ers in a wild-card playoff game.

INDIANAPOLIS — Penn State has become ground zero as another hot-button topic takes center stage in college football, that of players organizing and looking for revenue sharing in the Big Ten and the other biggest-money college leagues.

Drugmaker Teva has announced an agreement to settle lawsuits over the allegations that it helped fuel the U.S. opioid epidemic. The deal calls for the Israel-based company to pay more than $4.3 billion to state and local governments and Native American tribes over 13 years. The total includes settlements the company has already reached with individual states and providing at no charge a drug that reverses overdoses. The company was found liable last year in a trial involving claims in New York state; that will still head to a damages phase unless a separate deal is reached on those claims.

POCONO MANOR, Pa. — The Philadelphia Police Department will retain its statewide accreditation after a panel ruled Tuesday that a new city law barring officers from stopping motorists for minor violations does not prevent the department from enforcing state law, a key requirement of accreditation.

SEATTLE — The Seattle chapter of the National Audubon Society has a new logo, at least for now: it is an elegant yellow bird, a pelagic cormorant to be exact, with a paintbrush in its beak and the word "Audubon" crossed out.

The 35-year-old striker announced Tuesday that he is looking to rejoin Nacional de Montevideo, the club where he began a glittering career in 2005. In a video posted on social media, Suárez said that he reached a preliminary agreement with the team and that “in the coming hours details will be finalized.” Suárez is the Uruguayan national team’s all-time leading scorer, with 68 goals in 132 games. Among the teams he played for in Europe are Liverpool in England, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in Spain and Ajax in the Netherlands.

A federal judge says a national horse racing authority cannot enforce its rules in Louisiana and West Virginia while a lawsuit challenging the organization is in court. Western District of Louisiana Judge Terry Doughty in granting a preliminary injunction said the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Authority likely went beyond its bounds on three rules that went into place July 1. State and racing officials in those jurisdictions sued to prevent the new federal authority's regulations from going into effect. HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus says the judge's ruling does not question the organization's constitutionality or validity.

Officials in Mexico City say police made one of the biggest drug busts in recent memory in the capital when they stopped two freight trucks carrying about 1.6 tons of cocaine. City police chief Omar Garcia Harfuch said Tuesday that the cocaine was worth about $20 million on the street in Mexico. But he said only about half the shipment had been destined for the capital, with the rest heading north to Los Angeles. The chief says the cocaine apparently was sent to Mexico from Colombia and landed at a port on the Pacific coast of the southern state of Oaxaca.

WASHINGTON — Before former President Donald Trump stepped onstage for his first speech in Washington since leaving the White House, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was at the same venue talking up the prospects of winning an enduring Republican majority in November.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump hinted at a third presidential campaign Tuesday during a keynote speech at a policy summit held by former members of his administration, telling his supporters that efforts to impeach him and investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol are i…

With just days left in his tenure, the embattled director of the federal prison system faced a bipartisan onslaught Tuesday as he refused to accept responsibility for a culture of corruption and misconduct that has plagued his agency for years. Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal, testifying before the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, insisted he had been shielded from problems by his underlings — even though he’d been copied on emails, and some of the troubles were detailed in reports generated by the agency’s headquarters.

Mexico was outraged when a woman who had reported threats from her neighbors because of her autistic son’s loudness was set afire with alcohol and suffered fatal burns this month. But on Tuesday, prosecutors in the western state of Jalisco suggested the woman had bought medicinal alcohol and a lighter, then set herself alight in a park. The case of Luz Raquel Padilla comes after a string of brutal killings of women that haven't been solved by prosecutors. Activists had charged that police failed to act on a restraining and protection order obtained by Padilla after the warning “I’m going to burn you alive” was scrawled outside her apartment. Neighbors were reportedly angry over the loud noises her son made.

Union Pacific will spend more than $1 billion to upgrade 600 of its old diesel locomotives over the next three years and make them more efficient. The move will accelerate the pace of upgrades UP already planned to make and help the railroad cut roughly 210,000 tons of carbon emissions each year which is the equivalent of taking 45,000 cars off the road. The railroad estimates that the upgrades will improve the fuel efficiency of these long-haul locomotives by up to 18%. To accomplish that, locomotive manufacturer Wabtec will spend eight weeks overhauling the locomotives' engines and installing new software and electronic controls.

Massachusetts lawmakers have approved a sweeping abortion bill. It aims in part to build a firewall protecting access to the procedure after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month. The bill approved Tuesday would protect abortion providers and people seeking abortions from actions taken by other states. That includes barring the governor from extraditing anyone charged in another state, unless the acts for which extradition was sought would be punishable by Massachusetts law. The bill also says that access to reproductive and gender-affirming health care is protected by the Massachusetts Constitution. The bill now heads to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker.

An alleged arsonist who reportedly ignited wildfires in a remote, forested corner of Oregon was apprehended by three local residents and tied to a tree until police arrived. Federal, state and county authorities responded to a radio call from a U.S. Bureau of Land Management employee who reported a man was walking along a gravel road and setting fires, in the forest some 25 miles northwest of Grants Pass. Curry County Sheriff John Ward says ground crews, assisted by local residents, and three helicopters quickly got the two fires under control. The alleged arsonist is jailed under $100,000 bond.

A California federal judge has rejected a legal push to require Uber to provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles, finding that such a mandate would be too onerous on the ride-hailing company. The judge on Monday rejected a lawsuit that would have required Uber to offer wheelchair-accessible vehicles in New Orleans and Jackson, Mississippi. The judge said the plaintiffs failed to present a reasonable modification of Uber’s services and didn't provide adequate evidence that Uber had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that Uber has a “deep-rooted accessibility problem” and treats accessibility as an “afterthought.” Uber offers services to accommodate wheelchair users in several other cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Boston.

Former state House Minority Leader Themis Klarides was viewed by many Republican Party leaders as the GOP's best chance in years to defeat Democratic U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal in November. But since her endorsement at the state convention in May, she has come under fire from the conservative wing of her party, especially from Leora Levy, one of two primary challengers in the upcoming Aug. 9 primary election. Levy's campaign manager called Klarides, who supports abortion and gay rights, a “Democrat in disguise.” Klarides has focused much of her attention on Blumenthal, who registered a 45% job approval rating in the most recent Quinnipiac University Poll.

WASHINGTON — Republican attorneys general from 17 states are asking Alphabet Inc.’s Google to provide assurances that the search giant isn’t suppressing results for crisis pregnancy centers in favor of abortion clinics.

Former Wisconsin football coach Barry Alvarez says the Rose Bowl will always be important to the Big Ten, but making the College Football Playoff is the priority for today's players. The future of the Rose Bowl as a showcase game, mostly featuring teams from Big Ten and Pac-12 on New Year’s Day, was already murky as the College Football Playoff creeps toward expansion. Now that the Big Ten has poached Southern California and UCLA from the Pac-12, it remains to be seen if the West Coast’s Power Five conference will still be an important part of the Rose Bowl.

Ian Darke will call play-by-play for Fox at this year’s World Cup after working the 2010 and 2014 tournaments for ESPN. Darke becomes the third play-by-play commentator announced by Fox for this year’s tournament, to be played in Qatar from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18, after John Strong and Jacqui Oatley. Darke broadcast for Britain’s Sky Sports from 1992-2002 and worked for ESPN ahead of the 2010 tournament in South Africa, then was hired by ESPN that September as its lead soccer commentator.

People age 18 and under will ride buses, water taxis and streetcars for free in Washington state's most populous county starting Sept. 1. The Seattle Times reports the King County Council unanimously approved the plan Thursday. The vote kicks off an effort to get as many public transit cards into the hands of young people as possible. The new policy is comes after a nearly $17 billion transportation funding package passed by state lawmakers in Washington’s 2022 legislative session, with almost exclusively Democratic votes. The state transportation package includes $3 billion for transit, about half of which only goes to local transit agencies if they adopt policies to make ridership free for young people.

The Arizona Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction and death sentence of a woman in the 2011 suffocation of her 10-year-old cousin who was locked in a plastic storage box as punishment and left to die. The justices rejected Sammantha Allen’s claims that prosecutors had improperly suggested she was the person who killed Ame Deal and that Allen’s husband was solely responsible for punishing the child. Ame was ordered to get into the box because she had stolen an ice pop. Allen and her husband, John Allen, fell asleep and discovered the next morning that the child had died. Two years ago, the Supreme Court upheld John Allen’s convictions and death sentence.

A self-described manager and adviser to singer R. Kelly has pleaded guilty to an interstate stalking charge. Donnell Russell entered the plea in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday. It comes less than a week after he was convicted of making a phone threat that gunfire was about to occur in a Manhattan theater, ahead of a showing of a documentary on Kelly. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace says Russell used threats, harassment and intimidation to silence one of Kelly's sexual abuse victims. Peace said Russell sent threatening messages to the woman and her mother, and later published explicit photos of the victim on the internet.
