(CNN) — Barry Manilow is rescheduling his January arena concerts due to an update regarding his health.

The 82-year-old beloved singer posted a statement on social media on Monday, in which he shared that he has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

“As many of you know, I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks,” he wrote. “Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK. The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed.”

Noting that it was “pure luck (and a great doctor)” that enabled the early detection, Manilow wrote that he will soon be going into surgery, now that his “Christmas A Gift of Love” concerts are done.

According to a press release, Manilow will undergo surgery in late December. “Following surgery doctors have prescribed a month of recovery.”

“The doctors do not believe it has spread, and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis,” Manilow added in his social media statement. “So, that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”

Regarding the necessity to reschedule his January concerts while he recovers, Manilow wrote, “I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans.”

“Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” he wrote.

Manilow wished his followers a happy holiday and encouraged them to get checked out “if you have even the slightest symptom.”

The post also included the new concert dates which will be held February through April.

Tormentas en camino, pronóstico para el lunes 22 de diciembre

Kraig Pakulski 0 60 Article rating: No rating

El invierno comenzó oficialmente el domingo y, a pesar de que hemos tenido otro día seco, las condiciones están a punto de cambiar. Frente a nuestra costa oeste ya se alinean al menos varias ondas de humedad que comenzarán a traer lluvia a partir del martes.

Las lluvias probablemente se desarrollarán a lo largo del día martes y podrían intensificarse en algunos momentos, prolongándose hasta el jueves durante el día. Este sistema presenta señales claras de lluvias moderadas a fuertes, ya que humedad subtropical está siendo arrastrada hacia nuestra región desde el suroeste.

Por ahora, hay avisos de inundaciones vigentes en toda la región. También podrían presentarse vientos fuertes y oleaje elevado. Debido al origen sureño de la humedad, los niveles de nieve se mantendrán relativamente altos y, hasta el momento, no hay avisos ni alertas oficiales por clima invernal.

Los acumulados de lluvia se estiman entre 1 y 3 pulgadas en zonas costeras y valles, y entre 2 y 5 pulgadas en las zonas montañosas y colinas, hasta el día de Navidad.

Mirando hacia adelante, las lluvias deberían volverse más dispersas y menos intensas hacia la tarde del día de Navidad y el viernes, aunque podrían presentarse algunos chubascos breves pero fuertes. El pronóstico se torna un poco más incierto durante el fin de semana, ya que podrían persistir algunos parches de humedad. Aun así, se espera un ambiente mucho más tranquilo, con solo una ligera posibilidad de uno que otro chubasco.

Otra onda de humedad podría ingresar a la región a inicios de la próxima semana laboral, lo que está generando incertidumbre en los modelos de pronóstico a largo plazo. Será necesario monitorear de cerca, ya que los detalles sobre el momento y la intensidad podrían cambiar.

Prepárese para varios días lluviosos y manténgase informado a través de nuestras transmisiones y aquí en nuestro sitio web.

What to know so far about the Justice Department’s release of Epstein files — and what questions remain

Newly-released and heavily-redacted documents from Jeffrey Epstein are seen on December 19.

By Michael Williams, CNN

(CNN) — The Justice Department’s release of thousands of documents and pictures related to investigations into Jeffrey Epstein on Friday was highly anticipated and provided a glimpse into the life of the late sex offender and his associations with some of the richest and most powerful people in the world.

But while the partial release — DOJ has said it will continue to release more files — included some never-before-seen pictures, it revealed little that had not already been known.

Extensive redactions and files presented without context have raised further questions. And the fact that DOJ has not yet released all of the materials in its possession sparked bipartisan pushback from lawmakers, who have threatened consequences if the agency does not abide by the law signed by President Donald Trump last month forcing the release of the files.

Here is what the release revealed, and what questions remain:

Early accuser vindicated

Friday’s partial release represented a major triumph for one of Epstein’s earliest accusers. Maria Farmer approached law enforcement about Epstein roughly 30 years ago, and has long accused the government of ignoring her accusations.

The release included an FBI document that described a 1996 criminal complaint against Epstein related to allegations of child pornography. The complainant’s name is redacted in the document, but Farmer’s lawyer confirmed to CNN that the complaint was made by her client.

The release indicates that law enforcement was aware of allegations against Epstein a decade before he was first arrested in 2006.

The “facts of complaint” part of the document says that the woman — who describes herself as a professional artist — had taken photos of her underage sisters for her own personal artwork.

“Epstein stole the photos and negatives and is believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers,” the document reads. “Epstein at one time requested (redacted) to take pictures of young girls at swimming pools.” It continued: “Epstein is now threatening (redacted) that if she tells anyone about the photos he will burn her house down.”

Maria Farmer said in a statement that the FBI had “failed” her and other victims over the years.

Her sister Annie told CNN: “Just to see it in writing and to know that they had this document this entire time — and how many people were harmed after that date? We’ve been saying it over and over, but to see it in black and white that way has been very emotional.”

Lots of new pictures, few major revelations

Epstein was known to have traveled and associated with some of the most high-profile names in politics and show business in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before he was first arrested in 2006. Images released Friday, some of which had never been seen before, showed just how extensive his connections were.

Former President Bill Clinton was prominently featured in Friday’s release. One of the most publicized images was a picture of Clinton Read more
