Kids Creek Project Restores Habitat and Food Sources for Great Lakes Fish
A NOAA-supported project in Traverse City, Michigan, is helping enhance habitat and food sources for fish like brook trout.
Feature Story |

NOAA's partners at The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay recently completed a project to restore habitat and improve fish passage on Kids Creek in Traverse City, Michigan. The effort received more than $1.5 million in NOAA funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Through this work, our partners are helping enhance habitat and food sources for fish species such as brook trout.
Kids Creek is on Michigan's Impaired Waters List, due to a decline in macroinvertebrates—small aquatic animals such as snails, worms, and insect larvae. Sediment and stormwater runoff have led to a loss of macroinvertebrate habitat, causing a decrease in their populations. Macroinvertebrates provide an important food source for brook trout and other fish species. Without proper habitat to support a healthy macroinvertebrate population, the fish populations that depend on them cannot thrive.
In addition to a lack of macroinvertebrate habitat, portions of the creek are filled in with sand or contain structures that impede water flow. This makes it difficult for migrating fish to access their habitat, and causes the project area to flood frequently.

Since 2018, NOAA has supported work to restore Kids Creek and remove it from the list of impaired waterways. This work has included replacing a series of three undersized culverts with appropriately sized structures. This will help restore the natural function of the stream, reducing sedimentation and providing a stable environment for fish and macroinvertebrates. It will also improve fish passage for existing brook trout populations. Close to 4,000 feet of the creek is expected to benefit from this work.
The project is led by The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay and supported by NOAA. Additional partners on this effort include:
City of Traverse City
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
Since 2010, the Office of Habitat Conservation's Restoration Center has worked through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to restore habitat across the Great Lakes region. We have supported 85 projects, restored more than 4,600 acres of habitat for fish and wildlife, and opened up almost 500 miles of rivers and streams to fish migration through GLRI. This work has helped strengthen valuable Great Lakes fisheries, restore coastal wetlands that improve water quality, and provide recreational opportunities for the public's use and enjoyment.

Mexico holds symbolic raffle for unwanted presidential jet
Photos Business
President Lopez Obrador calls the Boeing 787 Dreamliner an 'insult' to the people
Published: September 16, 2020 09:12 AFP and Compiled by Christian Borbon, Senior Web Editor
Mexico held a symbolic raffle Tuesday for a luxury presidential jet that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador calls an "insult" to the people and which has yet to find a buyer. | Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador holds a news conference at the presidential hangar, with the presidential plane in the background.

Instead of taking home the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, holders of the 100 winning tickets were rewarded with a share of prize money totalling two billion pesos ($95 million). | The interior of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner presidential plane. Image Credit: Reuters
Lopez Obrador, a leftist austerity crusader, has been vowing to sell the aircraft since his 2018 election campaign, saying "not even Donald Trump has a plane like that." The jet was purchased for about $218 million during former president Felipe Calderon's 2006-2012 term in office, and is now worth an estimated $130 million. | The interior of Mexican Air Force Presidential Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

The only one who used it was his successor Enrique Pena Nieto. It has proven hard to find a buyer for a massive jet customized with an executive bedroom, private bath and seating for 80 people. | A military personnel wearing a protective mask looks back as he sits at the console of a plane, Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

In February Lopez Obrador proposed a raffle and awarding the plane to one lucky winner. But the plan failed to get off the ground due to a law that prohibits raffling or donating the nation's assets. Image Credit: Reuters
Instead the plane became an emblem adorning the six million tickets in a lottery aimed at raising funds roughly equivalent to the plane's value. Image Credit: REUTERS
Under the government's plan, two-thirds of the proceeds will pay for the prizes and the rest will go to public hospitals serving "poor people." It was not immediately clear how much money had been raised. | A bathroom of the Mexican Air Force Presidential Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Image Credit: Reuters
In Mexico, lottery winners usually remain anonymous, but it was reported after the draw that three hospitals were winners with tickets given to them by the government. | Mexico's official government seal is seen on a wall of the Mexican Air Force Presidential Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

Critics say Lopez Obrador has used the lottery for his own political gain. "What matters to him is to say 'look at the luxuries and privileges of the past and instead I'm austere'," analyst and historian Jose Antonio Crespo told AFP. Image Credit: Reuters
The Dreamliner was brought back to Mexico from the United States in July after failing to find a buyer there, although the government says there are two offers on the table. Image Credit: Reuters

Cardiac Nurse, Heart Attack Survivor: 'It Permeated the Entire Family Dynamic'
On September 16, 2012, David survived a heart attack. He was only 47 years old at the time.
"That heart attack didn't just affect me," he says. "It permeated every aspect of the dynamics between me and my family. It still impacts our lives today."
Meet David Zeh (pictured above teaching a community CPR class), clinical manager for Mercy's non-invasive cardiac diagnostics lab, manager of Mercy Cardiovascular Institute and our honoree for the 2015 Canton Heart Ball.
A life-long resident of Canal Fulton, Ohio, David grew up with a strong sense of family. He and his wife, Yvonne, and their two sons live on the same property his great grandfather purchased four generations ago.
Importance of Family Influences Career Decisions
This sense of family also played a key role in his decision to become a nurse. When he met Yvonne more than 25 years ago at Walsh University, he chose a career in nursing over one with the U.S. Navy, which would have required him to be at sea for six months every year.
He spent the first decade of his nursing career with Mercy but later moved on to work with other hospitals in Stark and Cuyahoga Counties and consult for a medical company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. After five years, he returned to Mercy.
"Out of all the jobs I've had, Mercy has been the most appealing and felt like home, like family. That's why I returned," he says.
He adds that his greatest reward in nursing is the ability to work with patients and promote honest communication and honest care.
"It's important to me to be very truthful with patients," says David. "I value helping them put everything together so that they understand the impact of their current condition and of positive lifestyle changes that can affect their life going forward."
In his current role at Mercy, he focuses on supporting the heart center staff in their work.
David says, "When staff members know someone is assisting them, encouraging them and making sure their needs are met, they can provide excellent care for our patients."
How Heart Attacks Affect Families
David's first step-father passed away at age 36 from a heart attack, and he remembers that it made a huge impact on his life.
Then, in September 2012 – the day after the Stark County Heart Walk and his involvement as team leader for Mercy – David suffered his own heart attack at age 47. Grateful to survive, David discovered first-hand how the results of heart disease continue on long after the treatment.
"That heart attack didn't just affect me," David says. "It permeated every aspect of the dynamics between me and my family. It still impacts our lives today. My older son told me later how hard it was to be positive about the situation with grief counselors in the same room with him. A close call with death is something you always remember."
Yvonne experienced this twice in a little over a year after losing her father to a heart attack in 2011. David performed chest compressions on his father-in-law while riding with the squad all the way to Mercy.
Before his heart attack, David was very physically active, and he has continued this following recovery. Recently, David and younger son climbed Mount Washington in 4.5 hours – a summit of 6,280 feet.
"My message to the community is that heart attacks can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of age and sometimes even health," he says. "It's important to know the risks, to minimize them, and to understand the far-reaching effects of heart disease."

The Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo public libraries, the Carl B. Ylvisaker Library at Concordia College, Livingston Lord Library at Minnesota State University Moorhead, North Dakota State University Libraries, Moorhead Community Education, the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County and the Fargo Air Museum have selected the New York Times bestseller Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History by Keith O'Brien as the 2019 One Book, One Community selection.
Fly Girls is the previously untold story of five remarkable women who competed against men in the high-stakes national air races of the 1920s and 1930s. The women – Florence Klingensmith, a high school dropout who worked for a dry cleaner in Fargo, North Dakota; Ruth Elder, an Alabama divorcee; Amelia Earhart, the most famous, but not necessarily the most skilled; Ruth Nichols, who chafed at the constraints of her blue blood family's expectations; and Louise Thaden, the mother of two young kids who got her start selling coal in Wichita – fought for the chance to fly and race airplanes – and in 1936, one of them would triumph, beating the men in the toughest air race of them all.
This year's One Book, One Community reading project launches in September and features several events, including a community book discussion, film screenings, cultural exhibits and other engaging programs. The project will conclude with an author visit on Monday, Oct. 28. O'Brien will speak at an invitation-only informal reception event at the Fargo Air Museum. Later that evening, he will take the stage for an author presentation and book signing, also at the Fargo Air Museum. The evening event is free and open to the public.
Copies of the book are available for check out in several formats (physical and digital) at each of the participating libraries; book club kits are also available. For a list of related events and resources, visit any participating library starting Aug. 1 or visit this page.
This is the eighth year of the One Book, One Community reading project, which centers on the community-wide reading of a single book and is dedicated to creating a shared conversation along with a range of related events and activities for residents of all ages.

T-Mobile Names IPG's Initiative as US Media Agency of Record
Home » Uncategorized » T-Mobile Names IPG's Initiative as US Media Agency of Record
By Erik Oster | January 12, 2021 | Uncategorized | No Comments
T-Mobile will have a new agency partner to handle its media buying and planning in the U.S., ending relationships with three incumbent holding companies in the process.
The mobile carrier appointed IPG's Initiative as its U.S. media agency of record following a media review led by ID Comms, which T-Mobile launched last year in the wake of a merger with Sprint.
"Now that Sprint is part of T-Mobile, we're operating on a bigger scale and taking on bigger and bolder goals. As part of that, we reviewed agency relationships over the last few months. Our team heard from the best of the best and saw incredible thinking to help fuel our next phase of growth," T-Mobile CMO Matt Staneff said in a statement.
"From the get go, we experienced a company whose beliefs and values were in sync with everything Initiative prides itself on. T-Mobile demands a level of bravery, with an appetite for groundbreaking work that makes the partnership ahead a natural fit," Initiative U.S. CEO Amy Armstrong added in a statement. "It's a real honor for us to be entrusted to help lead this brand into the future."
Independent media agency Horizon was incumbent media agency for Sprint. Publicis Groupe's Spark Foundry was incumbent for T-Mobile's offline media buying and planning. GroupM's Essence helped T-Mobile bring a portion of its digital media responsibilities in-house in 2018 and continued to parter with the company on digital media.
While all three incumbent holding companies were invited to participate in the process, according to sources with knowledge of the account, the mobile monolith made a decision to pursue a new approach heading into 2021. It plans to pursue new growth opportunities post-merger and will attempt to position itself as more of a direct competitor to AT&T and Verizon.
Publicis Groupe, which created a bespoke unit led by Publicis Seattle to pitch for the account, was the other finalist in the review, according to these sources. While Essence previously worked with T-Mobile, WPP's GroupM selected MediaCom to participate in the pitch process, these sources explained.
Publicis Groupe declined to comment. Representatives for Horizon, Initiative and MediaCom were not immediately available for comment.
T-Mobile spent around $734 million on traditional media from July 2019 to June 2020, as well as $200 million on digital media, according to data consultancy COMvergence. Sprint spent an estimated $976 million over the same range, including $537 million on traditional media and $439 million on digital, according to COMvergence.

Życiorys
Jest synem Henryka i Heleny. Z wykształcenia inżynier chemik, w 1983 ukończył studia magisterskie na Wydziale Technologii Chemicznej Politechniki Poznańskiej. W latach 1984–1990 pracował na stanowisku kierownika pracowni chemicznej Instytutu Obróbki Plastycznej w Poznaniu. W latach 1990–2001 pełnił funkcję wójta gminy Tarnowo Podgórne. Od 1998 do 2000 był także radnym sejmiku wielkopolskiego.

W 1991 wstąpił do Kongresu Liberalno-Demokratycznego. Od 1994 do 2001 działał w Unii Wolności, następnie przystąpił do Platformy Obywatelskiej. Z listy PO uzyskiwał mandat poselski w 2001 i 2005 w okręgu poznańskim. W Sejmie IV kadencji był wiceprzewodniczącym, następnie przewodniczącym Komisji Samorządu Terytorialnego i Polityki Regionalnej. W latach 2005–2007 ponownie pełnił funkcję wiceprzewodniczącego tej komisji. W 2006 został rzecznikiem w gabinecie cieni Platformy Obywatelskiej odpowiedzialnym za administrację.

W 2006 prokurator wystąpił o uchylenie mu immunitetu w sprawie rzekomej korupcji, mającej według niego polegać na przyjęciu od lokalnego przedsiębiorcy łapówki w postaci remontu domu w zamian za wygrane przetargi, jakiej Waldy Dzikowski miał się dopuścić, w okresie pełnienia funkcji wójta Tarnowa Podgórnego. Waldy Dzikowski, zaprzeczający tym twierdzeniom, nie zrzekł się immunitetu, a Sejm w 2007 odrzucił wniosek o jego uchylenie.

Ohio cops detail strategies to cut crime
By Doug Page Dayton Daily News
DAYTON, Ohio — The Dayton Police Department gave details Thursday of its latest technique that, in part, has led to the decrease in most property crimes and given the best value for the dollar to taxpayers.
"Our remarkable reduction in crime comes from increased cooperation from the community and improved police response," Chief Richard Biehl said at a media briefing to described the citywide Pattern Response.
"The improved response is the most effective, most efficient way to use our resources," said Lt. Chris Williams, commander of the East Patrol Operations Division. "We get the most bang for our (taxpayers') buck."
In 2011, serious violent crime decreased 16 percent and major property crime dropped 6 percent from 2010, according to department numbers.
Williams said crime prevention specialists in each district are combing through the crime data looking for patterns – three or more similar offenses over a several days or weeks – or sprees – a series of identical crimes in a specific area that occur within hours.
Once spotted and command informed, an alert is issue and assigned to one or more units for action that night, Williams said.
Since Dec. 6, officers have interrupted 20 patterns or sprees with multiple arrests, which have led in many cases to confessions to other crimes, he said. Williams did not have the exact number of arrests Thursday, saying detectives were still collating those numbers.
Williams said the speed of the communications paired with intelligence from the property crime detectives have led to a 49 percent increase in felony property crime-related arrests.
"In the year before reorganization, we had 179 such arrests in the old 1st and 2nd districts. In less than 12 months since reorganization, EPOD has had 267 arrests," the lieutenant said.
The old 1st and 2nd districts now make up the East Patrol Operations Division.
The department reorganized in the first quarter of 2011 merging five patrol district into three – East, West and Central patrol operations districts.
Part of that reorganization included moving the property crime detectives from the downtown Public Safety Building to the patrol operations districts.
"The increase in arrests shows the quality of work and communications between the patrol officers and the detectives," Williams said.

Veteran neuroscientist Corey Goodman says young life science entrepreneurs who want to launch startups often ask him for advice. Those aspiring biotechnology leaders might be surprised by what they hear from Goodman—a former Stanford and UC Berkeley professor who went on to become co-founder and CEO of two public biotechnology companies, Exelixis (NASDAQ: EXEL) and Renovis.
The changing realities of biotechnology financing inspired Goodman to co-found a new San Francisco venture capital firm, venBio, which steers fledgling companies clear of the strategies that prevailed in the booming biotechnology period of the 1990s and early 2000s.
No longer can biotechnology entrepreneurs form a company around great science and count on the kind of payoff that Goodman reaped from his shares in Exelixis of South San Francisco. Those stock holdings paid for Goodman's ranch near Tomales Bay in Marin County, where he now takes work breaks to admire a pair of eagle-like ferruginous hawks that hunt his winter fields.
When Exelixis was founded in 1994, biotechnology companies could aim for an initial public offering that might allow the founders and their venture firm backers to clean up, even before the companies brought new drugs to market.
"A lot of companies got created with the thinking, 'If you build it they will come,' " Goodman says. But the flush times receded as the financial returns from many companies fell short, he says. A shakeout among life sciences venture firms followed, as IPO exits became fewer and leaner. These days, startups and their investors should be setting their sights on an acquisition by a larger pharmaceutical or biotechnology company, not an IPO, Goodman says. And to do that, they have to figure out what those larger companies want.
Goodman had scored an insider's view of decision-making at the largest drug company in the world in late 2007, when Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) tapped him to create a major in-house R&D unit to revitalize its pipeline. Under Goodman's leadership, Pfizer's Biotherapeutics and Bioinnovation Center was to buy up promising assets like Rinat, a South San Francisco company that Pfizer had already acquired.
But Pfizer later canceled its plan to build the bioinnovation center at Mission Bay in San Francisco as a sizeable entity within the drug company. Pfizer, facing an imminent plunge in revenues as patents expired for Lipitor and other drugs, decided in early 2009 to shore up its earnings by purchasing Wyeth. That brought Pfizer a leading biologic drug, etanercept (Enbrel), and Wyeth's own pipeline of biopharmaceutical candidates.
Still, Goodman stayed at Pfizer for nearly two years, watching the huge drug company navigate the changing industry environment and evaluate its pipeline options. After he left in mid-2009, he and his three venBio co-founders devised a venture firm model they thought could help them capture an insider's view of big-company acquisition strategies while maintaining the independence to back the startups they judged best. They kicked off fundraising for their first fund in September 2010.
VenBio sought capital from major life sciences companies that were not only looking to make good corporate investments, but would also be willing to tell venBio what types of young companies they'd be interested in buying, Goodman says. Their participation as limited partners in venBio would not only be financial, but strategic—because they might eventually purchase a company that venBio had nurtured. Goodman says venBio is pioneering a new venture model that may improve financial returns.
VenBio raised its first fund of $180 million from Thousand Oaks, CA biotechnology giant Amgen; Baxter International, a Deerfield, IL, medical products company with a major biotherapeutics division; and the global contract research organization PPD (Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC) of Wilmington, NC. Another $20 million came from undisclosed limited partners.
Along with their cash, Goodman says, the three major venBio investors also contribute their expertise in areas such as conducting due diligence reviews and evaluating clinical trial plans. It's "an intimate relationship" that involves weekly contact between venBio executives and their three major funding sources, Goodman says. Amgen, Baxter and PPD also help shape the strategies of growing companies that receive venBio funding.

Michael Gregoritsch (Graz, Estiria, Austria, 18 de abril de 1994) es un futbolista austriaco que juega como centrocampista en el S. C. Friburgo de la 1. Bundesliga de Alemania. También es internacional con la selección de fútbol de Austria.

Trayectoria

Kapfenberger
Empezó a jugar fútbol desde los 6 años en el Grazer AK y llegó en 2008 a las divisiones menores del Kapfenberger austriaco. El 25 de julio de 2009 y con 15 años debuta en el segundo equipo del Kapfenberger frente al Oberaich, sustituyendo en el minuto 62 a Philipp Wendler y marcando su primer tanto al minuto 81. Fue victoria de 4-1 para su equipo en la Copa de fútbol de Estiria, torneo amateur. Además disputaría sus primeros partidos en la Landesliga Steiermark, cuarta división regional del fútbol austriaco.

Esa misma temporada (2009/10) fue llamado al primer equipo que disputaba la Bundesliga de Austria. El 14 de abril de 2010 debutó oficialmente en un encuentro de liga ante el Austria Viena, donde anotó su primer gol en menos de tres minutos después de haber ingresado al minuto 82 en sustitución de Michael Tieber y dándole el empate 1-1 a su equipo. Este gol lo convirtió en el jugador más joven en anotar en la historia de la Bundesliga austriaca con 15 años y 361 días. Su padre, Werner Gregoritsch, dirigía al Kapfenberger en ese entonces.

En la temporada 2010/11 ve más actividad con el Kapfenberger, entrando regularmente en los segundos tiempos a la vez que disputaba la cuarta división con el segundo equipo. En un encuentro de la copa de Estiria marcó 4 goles en un partido. Se las ingenió para anotar dos goles en primera en 24 partidos y jugando todos los encuentros de la Copa de Austria, llegando a semifinales con el primer equipo. Además, salió campeón de la Landesliga Steiermark, ascendiendo con el Kapfenberger II a tercera división.

Hoffenheim
En junio de 2011, Gregoritsch de 17 años fichó por el TSG 1899 Hoffenheim de Alemania, firmando por cuatro años sin embargo fue cedido para la temporada 2011/12 a su antiguo club. Además de jugar en tercera división con el equipo "B", Gregoritsch también continuó siendo pieza de recambio en la primera división jugando de delantero con el Kapfenberger, anotando un tanto en 16 encuentros de Bundesliga hasta que viajó a Alemania a continuar su carrera.

En la temporada 2012/13, Gregoritsch no disputó ningún encuentro con el primer equipo pero sí participó con el Hoffenheim II, anotando 11 goles en 28 encuentros en la Regionalliga Südwest, cuarta división del fútbol alemán. Debutó el 4 de agosto de 2012 ante el Maguncia 05 II, partido en el que marcó también su primer tanto en Alemania. Fue victoria 5-0 para su equipo y de visita.

St. Pauli
En junio de 2013 Hoffenheim decide prestar a Gregoritsch por un año al St. Pauli de la 2. Bundesliga. El club de Hamburgo también negoció una opción de compra para el delantero. Efectivamente, el 4 de agosto de 2013, Gregoritsch debutó con su club contra el Preußen Münster, disputando 15 minutos y no pudiendo evitar la derrota por 1-0 en la primera ronda de la Copa de Alemania. Vio poca acción tanto con el primer y con el segundo equipo sin embargo logró anotar su único gol con el St. Pauli el 4 de octubre de ese mismo año ante el Erzgebirge Aue.

Bochum
En mayo de 2014, Gregoritsch de 20 años extendió su contrato con el Hoffenheim durante un año y fue cedido nuevamente a otro equipo de la 2. Bundesliga: el Bochum para afrontar la temporada 2014/15. El 2 de agosto de 2014 debutó con el Bochum en el empate 1-1 ante el Greuther Fürth. Formando parte del primer equipo definitivamente, Gregoritsch se volvió titular, jugando varios partidos como extremo izquierdo y anotando su primer gol el 20 de septiembre en la goleada por 5-1 frente al FSV Frankfurt. Pese a estar alejado de las canchas tres meses por una lesión, no perdió su lugar en el equipo. Su primera campaña regular en Alemania dejó un saldo de 7 goles y 4 asistencias en un total de 27 encuentros.

La buena temporada de Gregoritsch hizo que el Bochum terminara adquiriéndolo definitivamente hasta 2018 en julio de 2015.

Hamburgo
Poco después de su incorporación definitiva al Bochum, ese mismo mes el Hamburgo termina llevándoselo por casi tres millones de euros y firmando contrato hasta 2019. La temporada 2015/16 significó su primera campaña en primera división de Alemania. El 9 de agosto de 2015 debutó con el Hamburgo ante el Carl Zeiss Jena por la primera ronda de la Copa de Alemania, ingresando al minuto 75 en lugar de Pierre-Michel Lasogga. Al minuto 93, Gregoritsch marcó el empate y su primer gol con el cuadro dinosaurio tras asistencia de Emir Spahić. El partido se fue a tiempo extra y el Hamburgo perdió 3-2. En liga disputó casi todos los partidos, siendo titular en algunos encuentros y siendo pieza de recambio en otros, aunque se perdió 7 jornadas por una lesión. El Hamburgo logró mantener la categoría con Gregoritsch anotando 5 goles en 25 encuentros en la Bundesliga. Gregoritsch, que puede jugar en cualquier posición de la ofensiva, disputó muchos partidos como media punta y como extremo derecho.

En la temporada 2016/17, Gregoritsch continuó siendo un atacante recurrente anotando cinco goles y con cuatro asistencias a su favor en 32 partidos en general. Pese a ello, solo disputó dos encuentros los 90 minutos.

Augsburgo

A inicios de julio de 2017 Gregoritsch y el atacante venezolano Sergio Córdova firmaron por el Augsburgo firmando ambos hasta 2022.

El 13 de agosto de 2017 debutó en la derrota por 2-0 frente al Magdeburg por la copa alemana. El 19 de septiembre marcó su primer tanto frente al RB Lepzig, dándole el triunfo a su equipo 1-0. El Augsburgo se logró mantener en la 1. Bundesliga y Gregoritsch vio su mejor temporada como profesional convirtiéndose en el goleador de su club en la temporada 2017/18, marcando 13 goles y dando cuatro asistencias en 33 partidos convirtiéndose en un jugador clave en el Augsburgo. En la temporada siguiente redujo su cuota goleadora aunque no perdió el titularato, ayudando a su equipo a mantener la categoría.

Schalke 04
Gregoritsch inició la temporada 2019/20 con poco tiempo de juego. El 23 de diciembre de 2019, fue prestado por el Augsburgo al Schalke 04 hasta mediados de 2020, final de la campaña. El 17 de enero debutó con gol tras alinear como titular en el triunfo por 2-0 ante Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Selección nacional
Gregoritsch forma parte de la selección de fútbol de Austria, con la cual ha disputado 43 encuentros y ha anotado siete goles. El 5 de septiembre de 2016 debutó en la clasificación para la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2018 contra , sustituyendo en el minuto 75 a Marc Janko. El partido terminó con victoria para Austria por 2-1 de visita.

El 27 de marzo de 2018 marca su primer gol con la selección, en un amistoso que termina con goleada 4-0 sobre .

Antes de formar parte de la selección absoluta, Gregoritshc ya había integrado las categorías sub-16, sub-17 y sub-21 de Austria, con la cual marcó 20 goles en 29 partidos.

Vida personal
Se ha declarado seguidor del Real Madrid y mencionó que el delantero sueco Zlatan Ibrahimović es su modelo a seguir. En una entrevista dijo que de no haberse dedicado al fútbol, habría estudiado para convertirse en profesor de gimnasia y geografía.

Es hijo del exfutbolista y entrenador Werner Gregoritsch, que ha dirigido equipos como el Kapfenberger, Mattersburg, LASK Linz entre otros. Actualmente dirige el equipo sub-21 de Austria.

Holder says investigation will determine whether criminal charges in Afghan secrets leak
By Sarah El Deeb, AP
US att'y general: Probe seeking Afghan leak source
CAIRO — A Pentagon investigation will determine whether criminal charges will be filed in the leaking of Afghanistan war secrets, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday.
Holder, speaking to reporters during a visit to Egypt, said the Justice Department is working with the Pentagon-led investigation to determine the source of the leak.
"I deplore the release of classified information. It is not really in the national interest of the Unite States to have that kind of material leaked," Holder said.
"The Justice Department is working with the Department of Defense with regard to an investigation concerning who the source of that leak, or the source of those leaks might be," he said. "Whether there will be criminal charges brought will depend on how the investigation goes."
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Tuesday that the Defense Department has launched a "very robust investigation" into the leak of secret documents on the war in Afghanistan published Sunday by WikiLeaks, an online site.
The WikiLeaks material ranges from files documenting Afghan civilian deaths to evidence of U.S.-Pakistani distrust. President Barack Obama said he was concerned about the massive leak of sensitive documents, but the papers did not reveal any concerns that were not already part of the debate over the war.
But U.S. military and intelligence officials are worried about the impact on the military's human intelligence network built up over the past eight years inside Afghanistan and Pakistan.
An earlier investigation by the Army's criminal investigative division led to a prosecution in a separate case of leaks to the website. Bradley Manning, an Army intelligence specialist, has been charged with multiple counts of mishandling and leaking classified data, on suspicion he handed over to Wikileaks a classified 2007 video that shows a group of on unarmed men in Iraq walking down the street before being repeatedly shot by the Apache helicopters. The American gunners can be heard laughing and referring to the men as "dead bastards."
If convicted on all charges, Manning could be sentenced to a maximum 52 years in prison.

Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park - a land of sand and fire
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park covers an area of 800 square kilometers in central East Java. Visitors who love volcanic activities must head to the park and witness ashes rise from Mount Semeru, an active volcano 3,676 meters above sea level.
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park is the only protected area in Indonesia with a 10-kilometer-long sandy sea called Tengger, from which four conical volcanoes have appeared. The conical volcanoes are Mount Batok (2,470 m), Mount Kursi (2,581 m), Mount Watangan (2,661 m) and Mount Widodaren (2,650 m). However, Mount Bromo is still the only active volcano. The temperature on the top of Mount Bromo is about 5-18 degrees Celsius. Towards the south of the park is a highland plateau divided by valleys and decorated with several beautiful lakes reaching the foot of Mount Semeru.
Mount Bromo volcano is part of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park which covers an area of 800 square kilometers. While it may be tiny when compared to other volcanoes in Indonesia, the magnificent Mt Bromo won't disappoint with its breathtaking and dramatic landscape. At 2,392 meters tall, Mt Bromo is not one of Indonesia's tallest mountains but its amazing beauty lies in its astonishing vista.
From a vantage point on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 meters above sea level), 2.5 hours from Malang. Visitors from all over the world come to watch the sunrise on Mt Bromo. From this position there will be wonderful views. All you'll hear is the camera click as visitors snap their cameras in hopes of capturing the astonishing sight of Mt Bromo in the foreground with Mt Semeru spraying smoke in the distance and the sun shining.
Mt Bromo was of special significance to the Tenggers, who believed that this was the place where a brave prince gave his life for his family. Residents appease the gods once a year during the annual Kasada festival, where vegetables, chickens and money are donated to the crater.
By Air: You can fly with Sriwijaya Air, which flies twice daily to Malang from Jakarta. There are also many flights from airlines such as Citilink and Batik Air that fly daily from the capital Jakarta to Surabaya.
By road: There are many ways to enter Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park . Visitors can come from Probolinggo via the village of Ngadisari. You can also go northeast through Pasuruan through Tosari village. The third, a more difficult approach, is through Ngadas.
The Probolinggo approach is the easiest and most popular way to go by public bus. Wonokitri is the closest and easiest approach if you are traveling by private vehicle from Surabaya (5 hour journey). When you get to those villages, you have to rent 4 x 4 cars to get closer to Mount Bromo.
Most tourist groups from Surabaya stay overnight at Tretes, where some hotels, like Malang, have the added advantage of having an airport. Alternatively, you can also contact a travel agency to arrange your trip.
What is the attraction of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park?
Many visitors choose to walk while they reach the park. There were clear traces on the sandy sea leading up to the foot of Mount Bromo. Alternatively, you can rent a jeep or rent a horse from Cemoro Lawang to get around.
The 5,250-hectare Tengger sandy beach is perfect for walking or horseback riding and feel like a wild west cowboy. You can also hike to the top of Mount Bromo or, if you feel challenged enough, to the top of Mount Semeru, the highest mountain in Java land. For other options, you can watch a beautiful sunrise from Ranu Kumbolo, where the sun will slowly rise from the valley between the two hills like a fairy tale. You can also visit nearby waterfalls such as Madakaripura, Coban Sewu, Coban Pelangi and Coban Jahe.
Most of the Tengger natives accepted Hinduism as their religion. Therefore, there are several Hindu temples around Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park . You can visit Kidal Temple, Luhur Poten Temple, Mandara Giri Semeru Agung Temple and Jago Temple to admire historic splendor.
Besides all the natural wonders, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park also has its own cultural charm. Ngadas, a peaceful village on the slopes of Mt. Bromo, it will be an interesting thing not to be missed. Located in the highlands just from Mt. MT. Bromo, the average temperature is about 0-25 degrees Celsius, with the air cool to relatively cold. The villagers, mostly Tengger indigenous peoples, still practice ancient rituals and rituals that are believed to bring order, good fortune, and prosperity.

The thing that Luo Tian was most worried about had happened.
His voice hadn't faded yet and all the specters started waking up. Their blood red eyes slowly opened up before glaring at Luo Tian and Wang Jinke. Their deep and low voices sounded like they came from the depths of hell.
A large group of specters had woken up.
He had completely lost all face.
If this happened outside in public, most likely his reputation would've turned into a joke.
Wang Jinke didn't dare loiter around anymore and quickly ran for the exit.
It was the same for Luo Tian.
As long as they could evade them, it would be similar to the game where the player leaves the aggro range. They could then slowly find a way to kill them off one at a time because there was no other way. There were simply too many specters bunched together in this group; at least over a thousand.
Imagine over a thousand Profound King experts bunched together.
The other alternative was being smashed into meat paste.
Wang Jinke never thought it would end up like this. As for his speed, he deliberately made himself slower than Luo Tian a tiny bit to protect his rear, in case a specter caught up. He had to protect Luo Tian's safety since he had promised the Ninth Prince.
Moreover, this incident was caused by him.
"Uncle Wang, we're almost at the exit. Ignore them and directly rush out." Luo Tian advised as his speed increased. He was planning on just rushing out of the array.
The speed of those two were raised to the max and arrived at the exit in a blink of an eye.
Wang Jinke was originally a bit slower than Luo Tian but he rushed out first.
As for Luo Tian, he suddenly stopped the moment before exiting the grounds!
It was due to this that Wang Jinke shot out of the grounds before Luo Tian.
Because at that moment, the system gave off an alert tone!
This type of situation was often seen in games.
Since you haven't escaped the aggro of the specters, that meant you haven't left the combat state yet. This type of occurrence was limited to certain map regions or zones so you couldn't leave the place!
Luo Tian understood this but his life and death was on the line. Could the system want him to stand against a thousand specters at the Profound King realm by himself? This isn't a joke buddy!
Luo Tian tried leaving the forbidden grounds a few times and it still didn't work.
Luo Tian frowned. He no longer had a path of retreat and could only fight with his life on the line.
His eyes started surveying the area.
After every roar, a thunderous boom could be heard inside of Luo Tian's body. The powerful energy was surging out in an unrestrained manner. His right hand was tightly holding onto the Blood Devouring Wild Blade while his left hand had magma dripping down onto the ground.
The grim reaper's path of slaughter was also surging out.
His right hand raised the blade up before chopping down at the front most specter arriving.
A single blade smashed the specter into powder, causing it to instantly disappear!
The system gave off an alert tone.
After killing one, another hundred had already rushed over.
Luo Tian once again chopped down.
Several of them toppled over.
At this time, several more specters had already reached the front of Luo Tian. The Golden Shield on Luo Tian gave off a bright golden light and a large golden bell appeared like a shield around him. The attacks of the specters then started smashing down.
Luo Tian didn't block those attacks because he didn't have any extra energy to do so.
He allowed the attacks of three specters to land on his body while he himself was constantly attacking them in return.
Luo Tian had no other choices.
He could only rely on positioning and natural barriers, which was a very common move in video games.
Out of a thousand specters, only three of them could attack him at the same time. The other specters were blocked in the outer area and could only shriek and scold in rage. They indeed possessed the powers of the devil race except their intelligence seemed to be weak to the max.
The system gave of alert tones like crazy.
His experience bar was flying up.
The devil race deceased soul value was soaring as well.
But Luo Tian's profound energy points were being depleted like crazy. The worse thing of all was that every time three specters attacked him, their Profound King strength would continuously smash against his body. Golden Shield was able to block a majority of the attacks, but a small portion would still continue to rain down on his chest.
Luo Tian then swallowed ten plus attributed demon cores.
His profound energy was rising up like crazy but it still wasn't proportionate to his consumption rate.
Over ten thousand lightning bolts descended, and the health bar of these specters only went down by about 10%.
This made Luo Tian see some hope in his plight!


A NEW Zealand-born woman fraudulently obtained $164,900 through sales while working for a Central Queensland explosives business.
Leala Fane Roskilley, 43, pleaded guilty in Rockhampton District Court yesterday to one count of fraud as an employee.
Crown prosecutor Tiffany Lawrence said the money was obtained through 52 transactions for 70 shipping containers that use to store explosives from eight customers between March 26, 2015, and July 11, 2017.
Roskilley had been working for Incitec Pivot Ltd at Bajool for eight years and nine months before her offending was detected and her employment terminated on October 31, 2017.
Incitec Pivot had imported the explosives from overseas and stored them in the shipping containers.
Ms Lawrence said part of Roskilley's role at Incitec Pivot was to take details of customers interested in purchasing the shipping containers for $2500 each and pass the information onto her supervisor to facilitate the sale.
"The defendant ... later sold those shipping containers for her own personal gain," she said.
"Effectively she would receive calls and instead of referring those details on to her superiors, she would retain carriage of the sale, provide the purchasers with her own bank details which the funds were deposited into.
"The defendant would generally sell the containers for $2500 each but there were occasions where she would accept a lower price when negotiations occurred if she was desperate for money at the time."
Judge Michael Burnett raised issues with how the customers/truck drivers would be able to pick up the containers with truck drivers requiring paperwork for such a load.
"So some paperwork must be generated to permit people to take these things offsite," he said.
Judge Burnett said these organisations were required to keep this material at secure sites that "not just anybody can walk into".
Ms Lawrence said it was unclear if there was further investigation into the paperwork.
She said Incitec Pivot was also out of pocket for transport costs of $3,133.60 linked to the offending, resulting in the total amount lost by the company of $168,033.60.
It's not the first time Roskilley has been convicted of fraud.
Yesterday the court was told that in September 2007, she was convicted in the Magistrates Court of fraud after failing to disclose income to Centrelink, which resulted in her being overpaid by the government agency about $7500 over 18 months, despite notification reminders to disclose income.
Ms Lawrence said Roskilley told police the offending was motivated by financial hardship of her family, which includes four New Zealand-born children aged 17-24, not eligible for Centrelink benefits, and two grandchildren.
Defence barrister Jordan Ahlstrand said Roskilley had been in a defacto relationship prior to the offending and her de facto had a high income.
He said when that collapsed, she felt financial stress.
Mr Ahlstrand submitted many reference letters to the court which Judge Burnett took issue with, saying none mentioned knowledge of Roskilley's previous fraud conviction and most stating they had only known her a few years, including a psychologist's report where Roskilley lied to the professional.
"If she's prepared to lie to her psychologist about previous convictions, goodness only knows what else she's willing to lie about," he said.
"It's an unfortunate fact we have to be more cynical of these people.
"She plainly is someone with a dishonest personality given her history."
Judge Burnett adjourned the sentencing overnight, requesting further information be provided to the court.
