It is a common sight this time of year---Amazon delivering packages, but this time it's some of Baltimore's 4,000 employees of the company helping it deliver 2,000 so-called "boxes of smiles" to those who need them the most in the city."This includes toys, gifts, items of personal care and so and so forth," said Amazon Operations Director Preet Virdi as workers brought the gifts into the City Hall Rotunda.The need for such essentials became evident earlier this year when the city attempted to put a number on its disenfranchised citizens."We have approximately 2500 men, women and children who were experiencing an episode of homelessness at that time," said City Homeless Services Director Jerrianne Anthony.For those who have experienced life without a roof over their head, the boxes of smiles represent far more than a collection of gifts and essentials."Amazing. Amazon. The gifts. We need them. We need the Mayor's Office of Human Services, because without them, we have no hope," Sakina Ilyas told the crowd.But once she stepped out of the spotlight of this staged event, Ilyas opened up about her own experience with her family's past homelessness."It was very, very stressful especially during the holidays. No family. Nowhere to go,” said Ilyas. “The problem here in Baltimore City is lack of housing. Lack of affordable housing. There are over 17,000 abandoned houses that are just sitting there."In the meantime, just 10 days from now, on December 20, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City will no longer accept applications for public housing, citing a waiting list of 14,000 that averages seven years to deliver.While the unexpected gifts, along with a check for ,000 are appreciated, Ilyas is left pondering the obvious."More is needed, because when this is gone, the stage is set, the curtain is open, but what happens when it's over?"The city did adopt a three-year action plan on homelessness earlier this year with the goal of combining action, results and concrete steps to address the problem. 2036

Kroger is discontinuing its sale of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, the company quietly announced in an updated policy posted to its website."Kroger is discontinuing the sale of electronic nicotine delivery products, or e-cigarettes, at all store and fuel center locations due to the mounting questions and increasingly-complex regulatory environment associated with these products," the company said in a statement. "The company will exit this category after selling through its current inventory."The move comes as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigates more than 1,000 cases of vaping-related lung injuries across the United States.As of October 1, 18 deaths in 15 states have been connected to these spate of vaping-related lung injuries, according to the 806

Iran's Foreign Minster Javad Zarif said that his nation does not "seek escalation or war" following an attack on a pair of Iraqi bases that house US troops early Wednesday morning. Iraqi security officials told CNN that no casualties were reported following the attacks on Al-Asad Airbase and Irbil Airbase in Iraq, where United States troops are stationed. "Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched," Zarif said. "We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression."Hours after Zarif's statement, Iranian State TV reported that Iran will tell the UN Security Council it will not seek to go to war with the U.S.More than a dozen missiles struck two airbases in Iraq that houses U.S. troops early on Wednesday morning, the Pentagon confirmed.While Zarif said that Iran does not seek to escalate tensions in the Middle East, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said through Iran State TV that the United States would face a broader and stronger response if the US responded to the Iranian missile attack.Zarif has been vocal in his criticism of the U.S., especially President Donald Trump, after the U.S. launched an attack that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani last week. "The US' act of international terrorism, targeting & assassinating General Soleimani—THE most effective force fighting Daesh (ISIS), Al Nusrah, Al Qaeda et al—is extremely dangerous & a foolish escalation. The US bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism," Zarif previously said. 1703

It's been five months since a federal court ordered Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to give defrauded student loan borrowers relief, but more than 100,000 people are still waiting to hear whether their debt will be canceled.The Obama-era rule, known as Borrower Defense to Repayment, allows students who believe they were defrauded by their college to apply for loan forgiveness. The idea is that if they didn't get the education they were promised, they shouldn't have to pay back their debt.The number of these applications soared as the Obama administration cracked down on for-profit colleges. Sometimes nursing students, for example, found out after finishing their program that it didn't have the right accreditation -- keeping them from getting a job.As of last fall, more than 200,000 people had applied for loan forgiveness, a majority of whom went to for-profit colleges. Nearly 48,000 received debt relief and 9,000 have been denied.But no applications were processed between June and September of last year, the most recent data available, as the administration fought implementing the rule. But they continued to pile up. The department received an additional 35,000 claims during that time period.An Education Department spokeswoman did not respond Monday to questions about how many claims had been processed since the October ruling ordering the administration to move ahead with loan forgiveness.In December, the department announced that it would begin canceling loans for borrowers eligible for a specific type of loan cancellation. There is an automatic loan discharge for those whose schools closed while they were enrolled.As of March 1, the department has forgiven more than 8 million in debt to about 16,000 borrowers that qualified for a closed-school discharge, according to data the National Student Legal Defense Network obtained from the Department of Education in connection with a lawsuit. The group sued the department in November for allegedly continuing to collect on these loans.In a lot of these cases, the government eats the cost. Only federally-backed loans are eligible for forgiveness. About half of the debt forgiven was owed by borrowers who attended one of the now defunct for-profit Corinthian Colleges.But those borrowers who aren't eligible for the automatic discharge are still waiting to hear the verdict on their claim. They typically are required to show that the school misled them, by presenting them with inflated job placement rates, for example."We are not aware that any more claims have been processed," said Adam Pulver, an attorney at the advocacy group Public Citizen, which has brought a case against the department over the delay of the rule.Neither of his clients have received an update on their pending claim for loan forgiveness, he said.The department took a step toward fully implementing the Borrower Defense rule earlier this month when it issued guidance to schools about how the rule -- which also bans colleges from requiring students to sign mandatory arbitration agreements -- would be implemented.DeVos, who's been criticized for siding with for-profit colleges, pressed pause on processing the claims after a group representing for-profit colleges in California sued the agency seeking to block it from taking effect.Democratic attorneys general from 18 states and Washington, DC, sued the department over the delay in 2017, tying the rule up in court for more than a year. In September, the judge ruled in favor of the states, calling the department's delay "arbitrary and capricious," and ordered immediate implementation of the rule in October. DeVos has called the rule "bad policy" and has directed the department to rewrite it. The agency has proposed offering partial loan forgiveness for qualifying students, based on the income of their peers who attended similar programs at other colleges.Abby Shafroth, an attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, said she is worried a new rule could retroactively change the process for seeking relief."I have a number of clients who have been waiting since 2016 to hear about their application -- and still nothing from the department, no time line. It can feel like those applications were sent into a black hole," Shafroth said. 4275
