ABC NEWS — Britney Spears is being investigated for misdemeanor battery after a staff member in her home claimed Spears hit her, officials said on Thursday.
Deputies responded to the incident at Spears’ home in Southern California, after her employee called authorities over the Monday night dispute.
No one was injured according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.
Reports taken by deputies will be handed over to prosecutors for consideration, as reported by ABC News.
Spears’ attorney Matthew Rosengart said in an email that the investigation is “overblown sensational tabloid fodder — nothing more than a manufactured ‘he said she said’ regarding a cellphone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever.”
“Anyone can make an accusation but this should have been closed immediately,” Rosengart said.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. – Bringing hops to the Sunshine State was the goal for researchers at the University of Florida.
So over the course of five years, their research team worked to grow cascade hops using LED lights. Ironically, the sun doesn’t shine long enough in Florida to grow hops so their team needed to use lights in order to trick the crops into growing.
Earlier this year, their hard work paid off and they were able to ship the locally grown hops to breweries around the state.
Although no breweries ABC7 talked to in Southwest Florida received a shipment of these hops, they were extremely interested in what the research team was able to accomplish.
“We don’t have anything else that’s grown really in Florida that you can use besides fruit in your beer so I think having Florida hops is kind of a learning to Florida brewers that want to put Florida grown hops on their label,” said Jordan Weisberg, Owner of Point Ybel Brewing in Ft. Myers.
Primarily, Ybel Brewing gets their hops from Washington state or Oregon, but they also source from outside the country, buying hops from Germany, Australia and New Zealand – A process they said much easier than trying to grow hops locally.
“Hops are crazy growing so they…they suck up all the nutrients out of the soil and then you have to keep feeding them and keep feeding them,” Weisberg said.
But it’s not just professional brewers like Point Ybel that are itching to add more local ingredients into their beers. FGCU Chemistry Professor John Reilly is extremely interested in adding some locally grown hops into their brews.
“Can you imagine that? Can you imagine saying everything is grown here in Florida?” Reilly said.
Using chemistry to teach his students how to brew beer, Reilly said state-grown hops would be the perfect addition to their program.
“I think it’s going to be exciting for many breweries in the state because…just because of that opportunity to try something new, right, and something specifically Floridian,” Reilly said.
Plus, nothing would compliment a local university more than an all-local product.
“Florida grown and Florida brewed,” said Reilly.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.– Firefighters around Southwest Florida will have their heads shaved by cancer patients as part of a fundraising campaign.
The “Shave-Off” will take place on September 10th with Golisano’s Children’s Hospital cancer patients. Fire Marshal Janet Washburn with Bonita Springs will raise money and help promote awareness.
Donations can be made HERE.
Fire Mashal Washburn shared a statement about how she felt personally connected to the campaign:
“Cancer and its treatment changes more than just how a patient feels, it also changes how they look. For some patients, the changes to their appearance is as distressing as the physical ailments. Your donations will provide life-saving treatments to local children with cancer. In addition, by shaving my head, I hope to begin building a body-positive community that supports young cancer patients, physically and emotionally. Many people are affected by cancer. Undergoing cancer treatment is a deeply private event. Equally as personal, is the myriad of emotions a person with cancer goes through on their journey to good health. The disease and it’s treatment is made more difficult in a society that places emphasis on how we look, especially for young girls. Children with cancer may feel self-conscious about the changes to their body, which is why it’s important to come together as a community to show children how to #FightCancerWithConfidence.”
The full statement can be read HERE.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — The woman caught on camera yelling racist insults at a mother and kids is no longer employed by the Collier County School District.
According to CCPS’ staff email directory, Patricia Schmidt was an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Specialist at Lely Elementary School, but she has since been fired, a spokesperson for CCPS confirmed.
“The destructive comments of Ms. Schmidt do not reflect the 7,000 talented, dedicated, and hardworking employees of Collier County Public Schools,” Chad Oliver, a spokesperson for CCPS, said in a statement. “Accordingly, she is no longer employed by CCPS. The video and the corresponding CCPS review have already been sent to The Florida Department of Education Office of Professional Practices Services.”
The video shows Schmidt mocking the child behind the camera Saturday in the Kings Lake neighborhood. She said, “your son must be special ed. He’s a r—-d. Your son is a r—-d.”
The child’s mom, who wishes to remain anonymous, said it all started when she and her kids were on a walk and approached a walking path designated for residents along Kings Lake Blvd. “She blares on her horn for like ten seconds, rolls her window down and starts yelling out the window that we can’t walk down that pathway,” she said.
The mother said they were standing on a public sidewalk. Neighbors say Schmidt believed they were trespassing. She was then seen in the video dishing racist remarks to the child. “Are they your mulatto kids? You had sex with a black guy? Your kids are half breeds. Look at them,” Schmidt said in the video.
NBC2 was the first to tell the mother about where Schmidt is employed. She said, “Who knows how she’s treating them in the classroom when their parents aren’t there to defend them?”

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — As local hospitals struggle to keep up with the dramatic spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations, Lee County EMS recorded a dramatic increase in responses on Monday, topped only by the day after Hurricane Irma made landfall.
Lee County EMS recorded 376 incidents, 435 responses, and 224 transports on Monday alone. We asked Lee County EMS how many COVID-19 cases they’ve responded to, but they did not provide an answer.
Twelve patients died of COVID-19 in Lee Health hospitals on Wednesday, marking the highest single-day death toll the hospital system has recorded since the pandemic began.
Wednesday’s grim news came just one day after the hospital system announced it had put its surge plan into place due to the stark increase in COVID-19 patients being treated.
Armanda Llechu, the chief officer of Hospital Operations for Lee Health, spoke about the harsh reality of Southwest Florida’s COVID-19 crisis on Tuesday.
“This is not fake, this is not made up,” Llechu said. “This is not the media sensationalizing. If you walked through our emergency departments today, you would be shocked of the number of people that are there sick, really sick. So for those who believe this isn’t real I promise you as someone who is living it day after day, it doesn’t get any realer than this.”
Lee Health CEO Dr. Larry Antonucci said the majority of COVID-19 patients being hospitalized are unvaccinated, resulting in health care workers reaching their breaking point.
“The staff is having a tough time managing this. They are seeing more death and disease than they have seen their entire career,” he said. “We are doing everything we can to support them.”
As of Thursday, Lee Health has 598 isolated COVID-19 patients in its hospitals, six of whom are children. The hospital system is currently at 96% bed capacity.

19 classrooms across the Lee County School District are closed because of Covid-19.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — 19 classrooms across the Lee County School District are closed because of Covid-19.
Here’s the latest breakdown of the number of classes closed at each school. Keep in mind these numbers can change daily.
Pelican Elementary, 6
North Fort Myers HS, 1
Cypress Lake MS, 1
Villas Elementary, 5
Lehigh Acres MS, 1
Skyline Elementary, 1
Ida Baker HS, 1
Diplomat Elementary, 2
Tortuga Elementary, 1
Until Tuesday, Lee Schools would make the determination to shut down a classroom if 5% of the students or teachers in the room tested positive for COVID-19.
However, Lee Schools will now defer to the Health Department to make the decision to close a classroom. Details on how that determination will be made are expected to be released by the school district tonight.
Consideration to close a class starts when just 5% of the students or teachers in the room test positive for Covid-19.
“In an elementary school, you’ve got 18 to 20 students in that class. 5% would simply be one positive student. That one positive student could then be a trigger to close down the classroom,” said Rob Spicker, spokesperson for the School District of Lee County.
Spicker says it’s more difficult to shut down high school classes because students move room to room.
When a class closes, students work from home on their chrome books. In the meantime, the room is fully disinfected.
A closed classroom typically reopens after ten calendar days.
“It is something we could continue to deal with the rest of this year and beyond,” said Spicker.

NAPLES, Fla. — One Bolivian family traveled thousands of miles to Naples to get the COVID vaccine.
17-year-old Florencia Quiroga and her 13-year-old brother are not old enough to get the vaccine in Bolivia. So they traveled with their mom to get the vaccine at a CVS in Collier County.
“To protect my family and to protect myself,” Quiroga said.
Quiroga said she needs to be 18 to receive the COVID shot in Bolivia.
“So I would have to wait,” she said. “I don’t know how much longer to get the vaccine so coming to U.S. was the only option to get the vaccine.”
Several classmates of Quiroga traveled to Orlando for vacation and to get the COVID shot.
The Florida Department of Public Health said both full-time, seasonal residents, and anyone in the state for the “purpose of providing goods or services” are eligible for the vaccine.
But Florida does not require proof of residency to get the COVID vaccine.
“No complications so far,” Quiroga said.
She has received one COVID shot so far and had to show her passport.
“Relieved, yeah it’s a feeling of relief,” Quiroga said.
The Collier County Health Department said they don’t keep track of who gets the vaccine from other countries. They say there is no shortage of the vaccine.
About 10.3 million Floridians were fully vaccinated as of August 13th.

American Airlines says it will not serve alcohol in the main cabin of its flights until January 18, 2022.
|
https%3A%2F%2Fabc-7.com%2Fnews%2Fnational-world%2F2021%2F08%2F19%2Famerican-airlines-suspends-alcohol-service-on-flights-until-2022%2F.json

(CNN) — American Airlines says it will not serve alcohol in the main cabin of its flights until January 18, 2022, when the US mask mandate on public transportation is now set to expire.
“We are doing all we can to help create a safe environment for our crew and customers onboard our aircraft,” the airline said Thursday in a memo to employees.
American suspended alcohol service in the main cabin of its flights earlier this summer, but planned to resume service on September 13 when the transportation mask mandate was originally set to expire.
On Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration announced that it would extend the mandate through January 18 “to minimize the spread of Covid-19 on public transportation.”
Covid-19 cases have skyrocketed in the United States in recent weeks because of the spread of the Delta variant.
American Airlines also says it is “gaining ground” in helping curb to-go alcohol sales in airports, part of the FAA’s crackdown on unruly airline passengers.
Unruly airline passengers
On Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed more than $500,000 in new fines against unruly airline passengers that they say refused to wear masks, hit flight attendants and even threw luggage across the cabin.
And on Tuesday, the FAA said that based on 3,900 reports of incidents, it has opened 682 investigations into possible violations of federal laws.
Many airlines first suspended alcohol sales in spring 2020 to minimize interaction between crew and passengers and to ensure safer flights.

TAOS, New Mexico (CNN)– The Taos Pueblo Police Department has appointed their first female police chief. Summer Mirabal is making history.
“I’ve always wanted to be a cop since I was a little girl,” Mirabel said. She explained she has always felt a strong desire to help people.
Before she began working as a cop, Mirabal served in the military and had a career as a pre-school teacher.
“I never expected it. I mean I’ve always worked hard because I’ve wanted to be in this position,” Mirabel said.
“These are my people. I know that I can make a difference and I will see the difference because these people are the people I grew up with my elders, the children and I just wanted to help my people and know that I am helping my people.”
Mirabel said that she feels representation is very important, and she hopes her story will help to inspire the next generation that they can do whatever they put their minds to.
“I feel like our children don’t have necessarily hopes and dreams anymore and I want them to have that. I want them to have goals and I hope I can do that for them so they can see a Native American woman succeeding and being a positive role model for them,” she said.
Mirabal is the only woman in the 10-officer department she leads.

Despite the threat of sanctions from the Board of Education, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade have joined Alachua and Broward and removed parental opt-out options.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Governor Ron DeSantis is now saying school districts imposing mask mandates without the option for parents to opt-out aren’t defying him, he said they’re breaking the law.
Despite the threat of sanctions from the Board of Education, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade have joined Alachua and Broward and removed parental opt-out options for a mask mandate.
With a total of five districts now defying Department of Health rules mandating a parental opt-out from mask mandates, the Biden Administration has announced it will look into potential legal action to thwart Florida’s mask-optional mandate.
“I really appreciate it. Every single county looks different,” said Hillsborough School Board Member Karen Perez regarding the potential federal help.
For Perez, the staggering 10,000 plus quarantines in the first week of school made her decision to remove the opt-out requirement easy.
“Because right now they’re out of the classroom. We want them in the classroom,” said Perez.
Between school staff and students, 0.89% of her Bay Area district has been infected with COVID while operating under the prior mask optional policy.
That’s compared to 0.77 percent in Alachua, where masks were mandated since day one.
We asked if the relatively similar case rates between the two counties factored into her decision to remove the parental opt-out.
“At 10,000 quarantined, I’m not gonna wait until that number gets higher,” said Perez.
Districts have not challenged the opt-out requirement in the courts yet, but a Circuit Court Judge heard a lawsuit brought by parents challenging the state policy Thursday afternoon.
The hearing was on the state’s motion to dismiss the suit, but the judge ruled he would allow the case to go forward.
The state argued by allowing the case to go to trial the Judge would find himself in the position of legislating from the bench.
“The court would be walking squarely into a non-justiciable political question,” said the state’s attorney Michael Abel.
What sanctions districts that remove parental opt-out options will face is still unclear.
Multiple possibilities including removal from office have been floated, but there had been no official announcement as of Thursday afternoon.
In response to the potential for federal interference in the state’s masking policy, DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw told us in a statement:
“Forced-maskers often criticize Governor DeSantis for overruling “local control” in his defense of individual rights. Yet they support Biden’s blatant federal overreach. CDC bureaucrats and their inconsistent, politicized “guidance” does not supersede the rights of parents to make health and education decisions for their own children. “

OnlyFans, a site where fans pay creators for their photos and videos, is planning to ban “sexually explicit” content.
The ban will start Oct. 1 and is the result of requests from banking partners and companies that handle financial transactions, a spokesperson said.
Still, nudity is OK if it’s “consistent” with the company’s policy. It’s not clear what that policy is, and the company did not reply to questions. OnlyFans will be sharing more information in “coming days.”
OnlyFans has become famous as a space for celebrities to interact with people on a personal level, as well as a place where sex workers can post and get paid in a relatively safe manner.
It’s not available as an app via the Apple and Google stores, which ban pornography. OnlyFans has tried to distance itself from its association with porn, recently announcing an OFTV streaming app, which is available for download from the major tech platforms, and features content around categories like fitness, cooking, comedy and music.
OnlyFans says it has 130 million users and 2 million creators who have collectively earned $5 billion.
Bloomberg was first to report the news.

A man drove a black pickup truck onto the sidewalk in front of the Library of Congress at 9:15 a.m. ET, claiming he had a bomb.

WASHINGTON/CNN — A man with a history of supporting former President Donald Trump and who has said “all Democrats need to step down” was arrested Thursday after an hours-long standoff near the US Capitol during which he claimed to have an explosive device.
Police have identified the suspect as 49-year-old Floyd Ray Roseberry of Grover, North Carolina. The incident prompted multiple buildings in the area to be evacuated Thursday as authorities responded to an “active bomb threat investigation,” the US Capitol Police wrote on Twitter.
USCP said in a news release later Thursday that no bomb was found in Roseberry’s truck but that he did possess suspected bomb-making material. DC Police said in a tweet that the vehicle he was driving had been “cleared,” and that road closures near the scene have now been lifted. USCP Chief Tom Manger, who told reporters on Thursday that authorities couldn’t yet identify a motive, said that so far there is “no indication” Roseberry was acting with others.
Roseberry had been live-streaming from the scene, Manger said. A roughly half-hour Facebook video showed him inside a truck, holding a canister that he said was a bomb and speaking about a “revolution.” The video and Roseberry’s Facebook profile have since been removed.
On Roseberry’s now-removed Facebook page, he frequently made pro-Trump posts and posted videos from Trump’s “Million MAGA March” on November 14.
In the video posted Thursday, Roseberry called himself a “patriot.” He said he doesn’t care if Trump ever becomes president again but also that he thinks “all Democrats need to step down.”
Roseberry’s son, Christopher Roseberry, told CNN on Thursday that he didn’t fully understand what motivated the actions of his father and that he didn’t know about his plans to go to Washington.
“He was home last night and I guess my stepmom woke up this morning and he was gone,” Christopher Roseberry told CNN. “It was just a normal day, but it’s not.”
Christopher Roseberry said his father expressed political frustrations with him after the November election. “Since Biden got elected he’s just been like, man … he doesn’t like change, I reckon. … I tried to tell him … ‘Who cares what goes on up there in DC? Worry about what you’ve got down here.’ I tried to tell him that and he’s like, ‘No, I’m sticking up for my country. We need to get the country back to the way it was,'” he said.
He said his father did not mention violence though, adding, “He just said, ‘I want to make a change.'”
Roseberry’s mother recently died, which his son said may have added to his frustration. Manger mentioned the loss during an earlier news conference, adding, “there were other issues that (Roseberry) was dealing with.”
Multiple buildings evacuated
Roseberry drove a black pickup truck onto the sidewalk in front of the Library of Congress at 9:15 a.m. ET, claiming he had a bomb and displayed what looked like a detonator to the officer on the scene, according to the chief.
Negotiators were in communication with Roseberry and were trying to come to a “resolution,” Manger told reporters at a press conference earlier Thursday near the Capitol.
The pickup truck Roseberry drove to the scene does not have license plates, sources told CNN.
Two Library of Congress buildings — the Jefferson and the Madison — and the Cannon House Office Building were evacuated earlier Thursday due to a suspicious vehicle in the vicinity, according to alerts sent to staffers viewed by CNN.
Staffers in the Madison and Jefferson buildings on Thursday were alerted by email to remain calm and relocate — and not to exit toward First Street. Those in Cannon were advised to relocate to the Longworth House Office Building using the Capitol’s underground tunnels.
The Senate and House are not in session, and most lawmakers are not currently in their offices.
The Supreme Court was also evacuated on the recommendation of US Capitol Police, according to a spokesperson for the court, which is closed to the public because of Covid-19.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Lee Health reported that 12 patients died on Wednesday from COVID-19 in their hospitals.
Media Relations Director at Lee Health Jonathon Little said the age range of those 12 patients was between 30 and 86.
Wednesday is the highest-ever single-day death toll at Lee Health since the beginning of the pandemic.
Lee Health officials urge you to get vaccinated, wash your hands, wear a mask, and social distance.
“If you look at the patients that have passed away in the last 12 hours, five or six of them are under 65 including a 30-year-old or a 39-year-old…To watch people die like that and knowing that it is preventable makes it very very difficult,” President and CEO Dr. Larry Antonucci said.
As of Thursday, Lee Health has 598 isolated COVID-19 in their hospitals, 6 of those patients are children.
On Wednesday, 95 new COVID patients were admitted while 59 were discharged.
Lee Health has 62 COVID patients on ventilators and 93 in the intensive care unit. They are 96% bed capacity.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 810 patients at Lee Health have died from COVID-19.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit is always training. On Thursday they were in the sky, over the water, working on water rescue skills.
A helicopter could be seen flying around Ponce De Leon Park with a person hanging out of the helicopter.
The crew member goes into the water, then back into the sky. The reason they practice this is for situations where people are stuck: whether it be their boat has overturned, or if they’re having a medical emergency.
This crew can get out, get to the person, and get them to help as quickly as possible. The aviation crew is sometimes able to reach boats in the water faster than a boat can because they can cover more ground at a quicker pace.
CCSO does this training on a regular basis to make sure they are ready to go should they be needed in an emergency.

Two people were attacked by a dog in Englewood Wednesday afternoon.

ENGLEWOOD, Fla. – Two people were attacked by a dog in Englewood Wednesday afternoon.
A man and a woman both in their 60’s were attacked by a pit bull that they have had as a pet for at least three years, according to the Charlotte County Fire Department.
Rescue crews said they were responding to reports of a woman having a seizure. When first responders arrived, they found the woman was having a seizure and had puncture wounds on her neck.
A family member identified the woman and her husband as Jay and Joan Barkow.
The dog attacked Joan when she was having a seizure then attacked Jay when he stepped in to help, according to the family member.
The man had injuries on his right arm and hand along with a serious chest injury and puncture wounds on his back consistent with a dog attack, investigators said.
Charlotte County Fire and EMS said they along with crews from Englewood fire responded to the dog attack.
When they arrived they said the dog started to attack the owner again. A deputy tased the dog who was then picked up by animal control, fire crews said.
Both people were flown to the hospital after first responders made a landing zone at an Englewood Walmart, firefighters said.
The woman was taken as a trauma alert in serious condition.
The pit bull is currently at the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County.

The first Asian giant hornet nest of 2021 was found Thursday, Aug. 19, in a rural area east of Blaine, WA, according to the Washington Department of Agriculture.

The first Asian giant hornet nest of 2021 was found Thursday morning, Aug. 19, in a rural area east of Blaine, about one-quarter mile from where a resident reported a sighting of a live Asian giant hornet on Wednesday, Aug. 11.
The state agriculture staff netted, tagged with a tracker and released three of hornets Aug. 11, to Tuesday, Aug. 17, according to a news release from the Washington State Department of Agriculture. One of the so-called “murder hornets” slipped out of the tracking device, another hornet was never located and one eventually led the team to the nest.
The Washington agency, along with the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the USDA’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Service narrowed the search area by Tuesday but was unable to access the location until Thursday.
The search began at 7:30 a.m. Thursday and the teams spotted the nest about 9:15 a.m.

State entomologists will develop plans to eradicate the nest, most likely next week, according to the news release.
Up to 2 inches long, the Asian giant hornet, or Vespa mandarinia, is the world’s largest hornet species. They are identifiable by their large yellow/orange heads. The hornets are known for their painful stings.
They will attack people and pets when threatened. People should be extremely cautious near them, state agriculture officials have said, and those who have allergic reactions to bee or wasp stings should never approach an Asian giant hornet, according to earlier reporting in The Bellingham Herald.
The invasive hornets are feared for the threat they pose to honeybees and, by extension, the valuable crops in Washington state that the bees pollinate, including blueberry and other cane crops in the region that includes Whatcom County.

They also prey on local pollinators such as wasps, posing a threat to the local ecosystem, state entomologists have said.
“Finding the nest with (the agency) one day after simulating tagging and tracking in training was a very rewarding experience and demonstrates just how valuable the (Washington State Department of Agriculture) training was,” Stacy Herron, a federal plant health safeguarding specialist who assisted on the hornet project last year, said in the news release.
“While Asian giant hornets have not yet been detected in Oregon, we are pleased to participate and learn first-hand from our partners on what it takes to respond to introductions of this emerging pest,” said Jake Bodart, Oregon Department of Agriculture Insect Pest Prevention Management program manager.
“Teamwork has been the key to success with this effort,” Sven Spichiger, Washington State Department of Agriculture managing entomologist, said in the news release. “Whether it is the public reporting sightings and building traps or state and federal agencies working together, this is really a model for success in invasive species management.”
While one nest has been located, there may still be more, according to the news release. Residents are still asked to report suspected Asian giant hornet sightings.
Spot a ‘Murder Hornet’?
Washington state residents can report possible sightings of an Asian giant hornet to the state Department of Agriculture online at agr.wa.gov/hornets, via email at hornets@agr.wa.gov, or by calling 1-800-443-6684.
Take a photo or keep a specimen if you can. They’re needed for confirmation.
Citizen science trapping instructions also are on the website.

A Mount Vernon woman was sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, which led to the death of a Bellingham 17-year-old in 2019.

A Mount Vernon woman was sentenced to seven years in prison Thursday for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl in Whatcom and Skagit counties that led to two overdoses, including the death of a Bellingham 17-year-old in 2019.
Rosaliana Lopez-Rodriguez, 22, pleaded guilty to the charges last January in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
At the sentencing hearing Aug. 19, Chief U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez urged the friends and family of the victim to spread the word about the dangers of fentanyl, according to a U.S. Depart of Justice news release, and to “think what you can do to keep your family and friends as safe as you possibly can.”
The victim’s sister told the court Thursday that she is still haunted by the memory of finding her brother’s body and the “blatant disregard for human life,” Lopez-Rodriguez had shown.
“That’s all his life was to her, a few bucks,” the mother said in court Thursday.

Lopez-Rodriguez and her alleged supplier, Jiovanni Alejandro Nunez, 21, were arrested, and on Dec. 4, 2019, they were charged with possession of narcotics with intent to distribute.
According to court records in the case, the Bellingham boy was found unresponsive on Nov. 9, 2019, and, despite emergency responders’ efforts to resuscitate him, he died. His cause of death was determined to be a fentanyl overdose.
Investigators found a whole and a partial pill near the victim, the release states, and the pills were designed to look like oxycodone 30-milligram pills, with an “M” and “30” stamped on them. But the pills were tainted with fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50- to 100-times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Similar pills had been linked to other overdoses and deaths in the Puget Sound region, according to the release, including a 17-year-old friend of the Bellingham victim, who nearly died after smoking one of the pills Nov. 1, 2019.
Lopez-Rodriguez knew of that near-fatal overdose when she sold the victim the pills eight days later, the release states.

“This defendant continued to sell deadly fentanyl pills to a teenager, even after learning that the teenager’s friend almost died from an overdose,” Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman said in court Thursday. “Overdose deaths in this country are at an all-time high from fentanyl. Those who sell it with such a casual disregard for human life need to face significant sanctions.”
As part of her plea agreement, Lopez-Rodriguez admitted to selling fentanyl pills to an undercover officer, according to the release. Lopez-Rodriguez stated that she received the pills from Nunez.
Law enforcement found 2½ fentanyl pills in Lopez-Rodriguez’s bedroom, according to the release, and at Nunez’ home they found a safe containing hundreds of fake oxycodone pills that matched the appearance of the fentanyl-laced pills linked to the Bellingham boy’s death.
Lopez-Rodriguez said that Nunez provided her with the pills that led to the boy’s death, documents state.
On June 29, Nunez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and is scheduled to be sentenced by Martinez on Oct. 1. He faces a prison term of between five and 40 years.
The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office, Drug Enforcement Administration, Whatcom County Drug and Gang Task Force, Bellingham Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case.

John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats went 8-9 in the SEC last season.

With roughly 80 days between now and the start of college basketball, the stories that will define the 2021-22 season are starting to take shape. That makes it feel like a decent time to take a peek ahead. Which teams will be the best is anyone’s guess. That’s why they play the games, after all. Which teams will pack the most intrigue, however, is starting to become somewhat clear. Today in I Got Five On it, we examine the five most interesting teams in terms of storylines as we head toward tip off.
KENTUCKY
LAST YEAR: 9-16, 8-9 in the SEC REASON FOR INTRIGUE: You could place Kentucky on this list in almost any season. The Wildcats are as polarizing as teams come, and there’s never a lack of offseason news in Lexington. The fact that UK was forced to go into emergency-rebuild mode after failing to win double-digit games a year ago has made things even more captivating. The overhaul has been dramatic. John Calipari started by adding 2,000-point scorer Kellan Grady from Davison via the transfer portal and hasn’t looked back since. He sprinkled in more shooting touch and high-major experience when CJ Fredrick left Iowa to join the Wildcats. There was also the addition of touted point guard Sahvir Wheeler, a former Georgia Bulldog that has already proven effective against an SEC schedule. Calipari further addressed the point guard issues that plagued him last year by landing five-star recruit TyTy Washington, who took the prep basketball circuit by storm last year. Kentucky’s ability to almost totally scrap last year's roster and reload on the fly was one of the spring’s most compelling stories and adds further intrigue to a program that never lacks buzz.
*****
TEXAS
LAST YEAR: 19-8, lost in the NCAA Tournament’s first round REASON FOR INTRIGUE: We here at I Got Five On It love a good heel, and Texas’ offseason antics will make it a villain to some. Still, every good storyline needs a bad guy. Stealing a smaller school’s star head coach a few months before hitting the big, red detonation button on that small school’s entire conference is certified supervillain behavior. The impending move to the SEC, Chris Beard’s eventual return to Texas Tech and the hostile Big 12 crowds the Longhorns will face all season are only small slices of the intrigue, however. Beard’s ultra-quick reshaping of the Longhorns’ roster since taking over in April has been Calipari-esque. The transfer portal has yielded former Minnesota star and NBA hopeful Marcus Carr in addition to center Tre Mitchell, who was a certified star and the A-10 Rookie of the Year at UMass a season ago. The Longhorns also nabbed point guard Devin Askew from Kentucky and wing Timmy Allen from Utah. Beard made his name as the coach of a successful but plucky underdog forced to do more with less. Beard with a massive brand, unlimited budget and dying conference full of fans that hate his team could become the death star, and the story will be made better if he embraces the villain role in the year to come.
*****
MEMPHIS
LAST YEAR: 20-8, narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament REASON FOR INTRIGUE: Penny Hardaway desperately needs to make the NCAA Tournament in his fourth season in order to silence his critics. He’s by no means on the hot seat, but whispers will certainly grow a bit louder if he manages to miss out again this season. The good news is that no program on earth is currently making more noise from a recruiting standpoint. Hardaway has already landed five-star big man Jalen Duren, who was the No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2022 before reclassifying to 2021. The Tigers also seem like the overwhelming favorite to land Emoni Bates, who graced the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school sophomore and was ranked in the No. 2 spot behind Duren in 2022 before also reclassifying. The fanfare over the addition of freshman Josh Minot, a top-50 player in his own right, has been drowned out by the recent hoopla surrounding Bates and Duren. All of this equates to excitement for Memphis fans and intense pressure on Hardaway, who will certainly have the manpower to succeed at a high level this season. All eyes will be on FedExForum from the moment the season tips.
*****
GONZAGA
LAST YEAR: 31-1, national runners-up REASON FOR INTRIGUE: Back-to-back national title game appearances is an unreasonable expectation for any program. Alas, here we are. The Zags are betting favorites (+600) to win the national title and will likely open the season as the No. 1 team in the country. This is supposed to be the year Mark Few gets over the hump and adds a national title to his long list of accolades. Then again, last year was supposed to be that as well. Standouts Drew Timme and Andrew Nembhard will return to Spokane. The addition of No. 1 overall prospect Chet Holmgren, a hyper-unique center with some guard skills adds intrigue, as he’s already in the thick of discussion to go No. 1 overall in next year’s NBA Draft. The 7-foot Holmgren’s quest to go No. 1 in the draft along with Gonzaga’s quest to cap off its decades-long journey from mid-major underdog to national champion will place Few’s squad directly under the microscope from the jump. The year ahead will be quite a ride regardless of how it ends.

Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff spoke with the Review-Journal about the state of college athletics, including the future of his conference, which could be expanding.

Much has changed in college athletics since the Pac-12 Conference announced in May it was hiring MGM Resorts executive George Kliavkoff as its new commissioner.
Texas and Oklahoma are eventually headed to the Southeastern Conference, and athletes are able to profit off their name, image and likeness. And more change is on the way.
Kliavkoff spoke Thursday about the issues facing college athletics and the role he sees for Las Vegas as those issues are resolved. The following was edited for clarity and length:
Review-Journal: Is there anything you can tell us about realignment and its impact on the Pac-12?
Kliavkoff: “I think we’re really, really happy with the 12 that we have in the league. The opportunity to revisit that following Texas and Oklahoma has certainly presented itself. I am not actively poaching any school or convincing anyone to leave their existing conference, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I wasn’t listening to schools that wanted to go in the Pac-12, and we’ve had a lot of them reach out. Probably all of the ones you would expect and several you’d be surprised by.
“We have taken initial meetings with everyone that has expressed an interest. We have a working group … who are together deciding on what to recommend … At the end of the day, they’ll make the decision about whether or not to offer admission to the Pac-12 to any other schools.”
Review-Journal: Do you have a deadline?
Kliavkoff: “There’s no hard deadline related to any of this, but I would say I don’t think it’s good for college athletics given the vibration that’s going on as a result of the Texas and Oklahoma news. The quicker we can dampen that vibration, the better. We will have a decision on whether we intend to expand or not in the next couple of weeks.”
Review-Journal: With your background at MGM, what sort of ideas to do you bring to college athletics?
Kliavkoff: “I think being at MGM and overseeing venues and the events that I was responsible for helps me to understand what it takes to put on a great experience for viewers and fans. I think that replicates itself in my job in the Pac-12. We’re constantly thinking about how to make better matchups, make it a better experience for the fans who are attending our games, and to elevate the experience and create new events and new content that doesn’t currently exist.
“The second thing I think I learned really well at MGM was taking care of the athletes, singers and performers who were part of our entertainment experience at MGM. For me, that means taking care of our student-athletes and doing everything we can to support them.”
Review-Journal: Where do you see college athletics in five years?
Kliavkoff: “I think five years from now it’s likely to look a lot like it looks today, with some exceptions at the margins. I think all of the talk about super conferences and the reclassification of some of the existing conferences is not necessarily going to happen.”
Review-Journal: That could surprise some people.
Kliavkoff: “If you ask me about 10 or 20 years from now, it may be different, but it seems like a lot of what drives this are the media-rights deals. In the next three to four years, three of the Power Five conferences are going to renegotiate those deals, but I think the membership of those conferences are going to look a lot like they do today.”
Review-Journal: How do the various platforms such a streaming and cable affect negotiating media-rights deals?
Kliavkoff: “Our media rights come up for negotiation in three years. Unlike the other Power Five conferences, we own 100 percent of our rights and 100 percent of our linear cable network. I think the backward trends in media are actually operating in our favor. Every year, there are more consumers facing media-bundled services than ever. I think live sports are more valuable than ever.
“They appeal to a great demographic. Particularly Pac-12 alumni and fans are off-the-charts valuable demographics. And they’re the only DVR-proof content, making it more valuable for advertisers. I think when you balance all of that, we’re going to have multiple bidders when our rights come up for renegotiation.
“Since we have the only Power Five teams in the Mountain and Pacific time zones, when we play a night game, we get paid handsomely for doing that because we’re filling a time slot no other Power Five conference can fill. Our audience is limited compared to a nationally televised game because a lot of the East Coast is already asleep or will be asleep by halftime.
“You also have AP voters and Heisman candidate voters who may not be able to see all of that game. So we’re getting paid more for that game, but it costs us in national exposure and perhaps a competitive advantage for getting into the (College Football Playoff). We’re going to have to balance all of that, but all media-rights negotiation is a balancing act.”
Review-Journal: How do you see the Pac-12’s future with Las Vegas?
Kliavkoff: “I think we’ve had an incredible experience with men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. I’m probably in a difficult place to say that because I was sitting on the other side of the table when those deals were done, so it’s kind of like patting myself on the back. But I actually think if you ask people across the Pac-12 … they would tell you how happy they were with those events.
“I think we’ll see a similar reaction when we start our initial two-year run of football championships at Allegiant Stadium on Dec. 3. … The pre-public ticket sales were off-the-charts good for us, and I think our fans love the idea coming to Vegas for an event like that, but then surrounding it with everything that Vegas has to offer. My guess is long term I hope to be doing more with Vegas rather than less.”
Review-Journal: Do you have any specifics in mind?
Kliavkoff: “I don’t have anything to announce.”
Review-Journal: Sports betting is becoming more accepted. How do you see that evolving?
Kliavkoff: “When I was sitting on the board at Bet MGM a couple of months ago and became quite educated in the space, I looked the projections … and it’s projected to be a $25 billion or $30 billion legalized sports betting business by 2025. Then I realized the estimate from the illegal sports betting market today is $150 billion. I’d rather be operating in states where it’s legalized, legislated and taxed and where some of the money that’s raised from that venture goes to protecting the integrity of the game and protecting our student-athletes. But I think that’s a decision that will be left to each of the individual institutions.”
Review-Journal: How do you see Las Vegas moving forward as a sports town?
Kliavkoff: “Everything about sports in Vegas has outperformed what every expert thought. We’ve always been a capital for things like championship boxing and similar sports, but the introduction and success of the Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Aces and now the Raiders, I think opens up the door for all sports to think about what their future in Vegas looks like.
“I’m particularly enthusiastic about the fact that up until last year we weren’t able to bid for NCAA tournaments. When we were able to bid for NCAA tournaments, Las Vegas won a lot of them. I think that opens the door for things like the Final Four and other championships coming here, and I’m really excited about that.”

Nye County deputies were reportedly shot at in Pahrump on Thursday afternoon, and a suspect has been hospitalized.
A statement from the Nye County Sheriff’s Office at 3:50 p.m. said deputies were responding to an active shooter on Dana Way, near North Leslie Street and West Mesquite Avenue, when they were shot at.
The person who shot at officers was later taken to Desert View Hospital for unknown injuries, according to a statement at 5:40 p.m. from the Sheriff’s Office.
No deputies were injured but officials said the scene remained active Thursday evening.

Gov. Steve Sisolak and the agency he created to help immigrants coming to Nevada recommitted on Thursday to assisting Afghan refugees and special immigrant visa holders and welcoming them to the state “as the situation continues to unfold in Afghanistan.”
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
CARSON CITY — Gov. Steve Sisolak and the agency he created to help immigrants coming to Nevada recommitted Thursday to assisting Afghan refugees and special immigrant visa holders “as the situation continues to unfold in Afghanistan.”
“We must not forget that Afghan Special Immigrant Visa holders are those who assisted our U.S. military operations and worked side-by-side with our American services members, including some of the many Nevada Veterans who proudly served overseas,” Sisolak said in an advisory released by his Office for New Americans, which promotes opportunities for immigrants coming to the Nevada. Sisolak moved to create the agency when he took office in 2019.
“Nevada has always been, and will continue to be a welcoming state for all, and we stand ready to play our part in resettlement efforts,” the governor said.
According to the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, Nevada had received 37 refugees from Oct. 1 of last year through July 31, 10 of them from Afghanistan. The national total for the same period was 6,246, with 494 from Afghanistan. Those numbers do not include SIV admissions.
People of mixed American-foreign nationality and SIV arrivals for the same period total 4,181 — 63 percent, or 2,627, from Afghanistan. Among that group, Nevada has received seven people.
Annual refugee admissions were curtailed under the Trump administration and limited to 15,000 in 2021. President Joe Biden lifted that cap to 62,500 in May, and monthly admissions for the May-to-July period represent 62 percent of all admissions for the year. Biden has pledged to permit 125,000 refugee admissions in the fiscal year that starts in October.
In Nevada, as in other states, nonprofit organizations administer and oversee refugee admissions. Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada serves as the refugee resettlement office for the state, with two additional resettlement offices, the ECDC African Community Center in Las Vegas and Northern Nevada International Center in Reno.
In a statement, Deacon Tom Roberts, CEO of the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, said the refugee resettlement community remained “devoted to our mission to assist those who have been tragically displaced from their home countries as they seek refuge in the United States.”
The Office for New Americans is working with resettlement agencies to help with the potential influx of Afghan refugees, but as of now “neither the State nor our refugee resettlement office have been informed by the federal government of any new expected arrivals from Afghanistan,” the office’s advisory said.
Director Charina de Asis said the agency was committed to “welcoming all new refugees and SIVs into the State. They undoubtedly enrich and strengthen the fabric of Nevada. Their cultural and economic contributions make our State infinitely better.”

Lawyers for 51-year-old Jasmin Alic allege in a lawsuit that a dentist removed almost all of his teeth and performed work on him that was meant for another patient.

Lawyers for 51-year-old Jasmin Alic allege in a lawsuit that a dentist removed almost all of his teeth and performed work on him that was meant for another patient.
A Las Vegas man decided to go with the dental office where “second opinions are free,” and that cost him most of his teeth, a lawsuit alleges.
Lawyers for 51-year-old Jasmin Alic wrote in a complaint filed last week that a dentist with Abbey Dental removed almost all of his teeth and performed work on him that was meant for another patient.
“He is currently without any teeth in his lower mouth and most of his upper teeth are missing as well,” another Las Vegas dentist wrote in an affidavit included with the complaint. “When Mr. Alic removed the gauze from his mouth following the procedure, it was then that he first realized the extent of treatment he had not consented to.”
A year ago, Alic needed dental work done, and cosmetic dentist Johnathan White recommended the removal of three upper teeth and a pair of lower teeth as part of a “disease control phase,” according to the lawsuit.
White, who also is a UNLV School of Dental Medicine lecturer and past president of the Southern Nevada Dental Society, also had suggested a bone graft, he wrote in the affidavit.
Alic sought another opinion on costs and decided to receive treatment from Sherrel Byard, then with Abbey Dental, which advertises that “second opinions are always free.”
On Sept. 3, Alic underwent surgery, expecting to wake up with repairs to eight of his teeth, but the suit alleges that the dentist had performed work that was “inconsistent with Plaintiff’s treatment plan.”
White wrote that this caused Alic to need four implants, “which are not as good as his original teeth,” with fixed hybrid prosthetics to his lower arch, at a cost of about $30,000. A removable prosthetic would lower the cost to $20,000, while a porcelain prosthetic would cost about $50,000, White added, and Alic would require at least one replacement in the future.
“Based upon my opinion, Dr. Byard fell below the standard of care,” White wrote. “The care rendered by Dr. Byard departed from the applicable standard of care when they failed to confirm the treatment plan was for the correct patient before engaging in work on the patient.”
Neither Byard, nor representatives of Abbey Dental returned phone calls seeking comment.

Schedule
All practices at Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center, unless noted:
Friday — Off
Saturday — Preseason game vs. Rams, SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California, 7 p.m. (KVVU-5)
Sunday — Off
Monday — Practice 7:30-9:30 a.m
Tuesday — Practice 7:30-9:30 a.m. (Rosters reduced to 80)
Quote of the day
There s no doubt the Raiders’ rebuilt offensive line is still a question mark heading into the regular season. And that will remain the case until further notice.
On the other hand, the number of weapons Derek Carr has at his disposal is becoming more and more apparent. That was reflected in the various ways the Raiders attacked the Rams over the last few days, with running backs Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake both involved in the run and pass games, and youngsters like Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards joining Darren Waller as targets in the passing game.
The combination of Jacobs and Drake adds a whole new twist, though.
“Man, I mean the sky’s the limit, honestly,” Jacobs said about the potential of the Raiders’ offense. “You see a lot of guys creating a lot of plays. You see Kenyan catching a lot of balls out of the backfield, making some good runs, and things like that. I think if we stay healthy it’s going to be a special year for both of us.”
Injury update
Nearly lost in the abrupt end to the Raiders’ joint practice against the Rams on Thursday was a pair of injuries to two key starters.
First, right guard Richie Incognito went down with a leg injury. Not long after, linebacker Nicholas Morrow got caught up in a mass of players and fell to the ground grabbing his leg.
Both players were assisted off the field and were able to walk to the Rams’ trainer’s room. Incognito was seen exiting the Raiders bus at their hotel walking with a limp.
“We’ll look into it. We’ll know something here in the next couple of days,” Gruden said. “I don’t have anything to report yet.”
It was doubtful either player was going to play much, if at all, against the Rams on Saturday. But their status now certainly looks in doubt.
Play of the day
With each passing day, rookie safety Tre’von Moehrig continues to impress. And with each passing day, his hold on a starting job seems to grow tighter and tighter.
After picking off two passes on Wednesday, there was no letup from Moehrig on Thursday. At one point, the Rams challenged him in a one-on-one matchup against Cooper Kupp, one of the best slot wide receivers in the NFL and a noted route runner.
Moehrig ran stride for stride with Kupp, and at the point of attack on a ball thrown by Matthew Stafford, the former TCU standout went over Kupp to knock the ball away.
Moehrig has been making plays all camp and impressing his teammates in the process.
“A very calm presence about him,” said tight end Darren Waller. “It’s not like, he doesn’t have to be loud or anything. But at the same time, he just lets his play do the talking. Those are the kind of guys I just respect from the gate. It’s a very ego-driven game, as you can see with everybody fighting and everything. But you got guys like him that can be quiet, like quiet assassins, and just go out there and handle their jobs.”

Southern Nevada’s top 11 football programs reside in the new Class 5A, but Bishop Gorman and Liberty stand head and shoulders above the rest.

When the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association created a Class 5A, it included the top 11 football programs in Southern Nevada.
But until somebody else can break through, there are two that stand above the rest.
Bishop Gorman won 10 straight state championships and 115 games in a row against in-state opponents before Liberty ended those runs with a 30-24 win in the 2019 Class 4A Desert Region final. The Patriots went on to win their first state championship.
“Right now, they’re equal, and then there’s a dropoff between a lot of teams and them,” said Matt Gerber, whose Arbor View team will open Friday on the road at Liberty. “It’s going to be exciting to go against their program.”
Gorman’s run wasn’t only unique because of the number of games or titles it won in a row. It was the fact that nobody was close.
Only three years prior to Liberty ascending to the top, it dropped the state championship game to the Gaels 84-8.
With the NIAA’s new playoff format, however, the latest the Gaels and Patriots could meet is the state semifinals. The winner of the Southern Region semifinal will meet the Northern Region champion for the crown.
The rest of the southern teams are determined to make that state semifinal more than an annual Gorman-Liberty Invitational.
“They’re definitely in the lead right now,” Desert Pines coach Tico Rodriguez said. “But every year is a new year. I think we’ll compete with whomever. They’re both excellent programs, and we’re excited for the chance to play them.”
Gorman’s advantages as a private school are well-documented. But the fact that Liberty — a Clark County School District public school — built its program to the level it has is encouraging for others who would like to do the same.
Liberty build its program much in the Gorman mold, playing quality out-of-state opponents, upgrading its strength and conditioning program, going to camps and playing in 7-on-7 leagues. Essentially, football has become a year-round sport, at least for teams interested in competing for state titles.
“I think we all get the stigma of Gorman,” said Dustin Forshee, whose Centennial team lost 50-7 to Liberty in the 2019 state championship game. “But what people don’t realize is they’ve worked their butts off to get to where they are. You’re starting to see more programs that have upped their level.”
Desert Pines, which won 3A state championships in 2016 and 2017 and finished 11-1 after a 20-7 loss in the 4A state semifinals to Centennial in 2019, appears to be the team most likely to challenge Gorman and Liberty.
The Jaguars’ top players are on par with anyone in the valley, but the question is whether they have enough depth to sustain their level for four quarters.
With only the valley’s top teams in 5A, it figures to be a weekly grind for each team.
“It’s going to be a better challenge, and I think there are going to be more competitive games,” Forshee said. “You’re possibly going to get some upsets because it’s going to be tough week to week. But until somebody really dethrones them, it’s going to be (Gorman and Liberty). That’s what we’re working for.”

The past couple years have not been kind to Bishop Gorman’s football team.
Because of losing last season to COVID-19, the Gaels have had two years to hear about the 2019 playoff loss to Liberty that ended their 10-year reign as state champion without a chance to do anything about it.
“They’re very motivated,” Bishop Gorman Brent Browner said. “It’s been rubbed in their faces for a couple years now. What I love about them is they’re humble about it. They’ve been grinding away for the challenge of what’s to come.”
The Gaels begin their season with a bang at 7 p.m. Friday, hosting a fellow national power in St. Louis from Hawaii.
The teams last met in 2019, with St. Louis taking a 31-19 win at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. The Crusaderswent on to win the Hawaii Division I Open state championship. Their only loss in a 12-1 season was to Florida’s St. Thomas Aquinas in the State Champions Bowl Series at Bishop Gorman.
Gorman and St. Louis also met in Hawaii in 2012, with the Gaels taking a 52-40 win.
While Gorman did get to play two games during the spring, St. Louis hasn’t played since the loss to St. Thomas Aquinas. That could make it difficult for Gorman to figure out what it’s up against Friday, but Browner doesn’t see it that way.
“It’s not that difficult to judge because they’re consistently good,” Browner said. “They always have a massive offensive line that is the anchor of their team. They always keep a good, accurate quarterback that can run their system and a ton of receivers.”
Browner said the Crusaders don’t try to confuse opponents defensively. They just “line up in their base and dare you to beat them.”
“The kids know how good St. Louis is,” Browner said. “We’ll take a sense of pride when we get on the field about capturing the rematch.”
After Friday’s opener, the Gaels will face a rare in-state, nonleague opponent when they host Bishop Manogue on Aug. 27. They’ll resume their out-of-state slate with a road trip to Florida to face Miami Central on Sept. 4, host Utah’s Lone Peak on Sept. 11 and travel to Arizona’s Hamilton on Sept. 17 before beginning league play by hosting Arbor View on Sept. 24.
“I think this year is unique. The emotions will definitely be there because the kids haven’t played a full season. The urgency is there all the time, but (Friday’s game) is just another marquee matchup.”

ZenSports Inc., a company that advocates peer-to-peer sports betting and someday hopes to allow cryptocurrency for sports wagers, was narrowly approved for licensing.
(Twitter)
The Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday narrowly approved licensing for an unorthodox sportsbook operation and its corporate officers who hope to someday introduce peer-to-peer sports wagering and the use of cryptocurrency for betting.
In a 2-1 vote, commissioners licensed ZenSports Inc. of West Hollywood, California, Etan Mizrah-Shalom, the company’s chief technology officer and Mark Thomas, the company’s president, treasurer, secretary, CEO, director and 81 percent owner.
ZenSports will lease the Big Wheel Casino in Lovelock, a small truck stop on Interstate 80 that has no hotel or restaurant, and operate The Book at Baldini’s in Sparks. Thomas plans to introduce a sports betting app so that wagers can be taken statewide.
In a three-hour presentation for the Nevada Gaming Control Board on Aug. 4 and a two-hour hearing with the commission Thursday, ZenSports officers explained that they someday want to offer peer-to-peer sports wagering — people betting against someone they’re playing in a game instead of against the house.
They’re also advocates for the use of cryptocurrency for wagering. Neither peer-to-peer betting nor crypto were under consideration Thursday and a recommendation from the Control Board to issue a two-year license was one of the conditions of approval.
That means ZenSports will be back for reconsideration in 2023.
Among the four commissioners — one short of the usual five because the vacancy created by the May resignation of Deborah Fuetsch has not been filled — Commissioner Ogonna Brown declared a potential conflict of interest and didn’t vote.
The dissenting vote came from Commissioner Rosa Solis-Rainey who said she felt the management team did not have enough experience and that the company’s financial position was weak.
The ZenSports team said the company would have a stable financial position because it is leasing the Big Wheel property and not buying it.
Commission Chairman John Moran and Commissioner Steven Cohen felt that because the licensing was for two years it would give ZenSports the opportunity to prove itself. Commissioners also noted that the Control Board imposed 16 conditions on approval, including forbidding the use of cryptocurrency.
“I can’t tell whether you’re dreamers or geniuses,” Cohen said prior to his affirmative vote.
In a separate matter, the commission unanimously approved amendments to Regulation 5 to clarify the definition of wagering accounts, approved by the Control Board in a workshop meeting Wednesday.
Approval sets the stage for more robust cashless betting options as regulators pinpoint the difference between wagering accounts and wagering vouchers.
The amendment was brought to regulators by Las Vegas-based Global Payments Gaming Solutions, which operates cashless systems in tribal casinos in California and Oklahoma.
Christopher Justice, president of Global Payments, told Gaming Control Board members Wednesday how the company’s system works.
“You could receive a gaming voucher from our property, would scan that into your phone, very similarly to the way you would deposit a check into your bank account,” Justice said. “That’s going to redeem the ticket through the licensee’s system and hold that voucher on the player’s behalf until they want to use it next. That same voucher would then be submitted into the gaming device and follow the processes that are used today to validate the ticket and the system would determine the amount and validity of the ticket and issue credit to the gaming device as it does today.”
The amendment took effect upon its passage.

Gov. Steve Sisolak announced another round of winners Thursday in the seventh and penultimate Vax Nevada Days raffle.
The drawing was held at Greater Nevada Field in Reno, where the Reno Aces minor-league baseball team plays, according to a statement from the governor’s office.
The name of the $50,000 cash prize winner was not announced because a media consent form has not been signed, Sisolak said.
Among the $25,000 cash prize winners were Jasmin F. of Las Vegas and Cynthia V. of Henderson.
For next week’s final raffle, Sisolak said the cash awards will include a $1 million grand prize, a $250,000 prize and two $100,000 prizes.
Vax Nevada Days is a public health initiative announced in June by Sisolak to entice Nevadans to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Drawings have been held each Thursday since July 8. Last week, a Las Vegas woman won $50,000 during the sixth raffle, which took place in Henderson.
Vaccinated Nevada residents are automatically included in the raffle, state officials have said. Although most residents won’t win a prize, “Every person is a winner if they get vaccinated,” Sisolak has said.
All told a total of $5 million will be given away to an estimated 2,000 residents.

Quarterback Kyle Holmes is back to lead the offense after throwing for 851 yards and eight touchdowns in 2019. Wide receiver Kyri Shoels and D’Andre Washington, a running back, wide receiver, defensive back and kick returner, are experienced playmakers who will help Arbor View with its transition into the spread offense. Sophomore wide receiver David Washington is already drawing scholarship offers from all over the nation.
D’Andre Washington is also the Aggies’ leading returning tackler with 26, while linebacker Bryce Ericson had 14 tackles in 2019. Arbor View will be inexperienced in its front four on defense, so it will lean on veterans in the back seven.
Bishop Gorman Gaels
Coach: Brent Browner (2-0 entering first full season)
2019 record: 11-2
Playoffs: Lost to Liberty in the 4A Desert Region final
Breakdown: The Gaels’ streak of 10 straight state championships ended in 2019, and they have been eagerly anticipating a chance to get back on top.
They have the talent to do so, with high-level recruits littered throughout both sides of the ball. According to 247Sports, Gorman has nine of the top 18 recruits in the state for the classes of 2022 and 2023.
Safety Zion Branch and defensive end Cyrus Moss lead the defense, while junior wide receiver Zachariah Branch, running back Cam Barfield and offensive lineman Jake Taylor should help make the offensive a play away from the end zone at all times. How sophomore quarterback Micah Alejado handles taking over the starting role could determine how far the Gaels go.
Canyon Springs Pioneers
Coach: Gus McNair (21-21 entering fifth season)
2019 record: 0-10 (all wins forfeited for use of an ineligible player)
Playoffs: Disqualified after win over Arbor View in the 4A Mountain League quarterfinals for use of an ineligible player
Breakdown: The Pioneers rebounded from an 0-6 start to win their last three regular-season games, then beat Arbor View in the Mountain League quarterfinals. But their season ended abruptly when they were forced to forfeit all of their wins because of using an ineligible player.
Canyon Springs figures to be strong in the defensive front seven. Defensive end Ryan Henderson is the standout of that group. He has scholarship offers from five Mountain West schools.
The offense is young, and how quickly it comes together will likely decide whether the Pioneers can overcome stiff league competition and reach the postseason.
Foothill Falcons
Coach: Vernon Brown (7-5 entering second season)
2019 record: 7-5
Playoffs: Lost to Liberty in the 4A Desert Region semifinals
Breakdown: The Falcons will rely heavily on the talents of Kendric Thomas. The versatile senior ran for 694 yards and three touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore. He will also handle kickoff and punt return duties.
Foothill’s defense has a pair of senior leaders at each level, in defensive linemen Leon Marshall and Jordyn Rivera, linebackers Carson McKee and Sterling Harnett, and defensive backs Amarion Meshack and Kellen Robertus.
Legacy Longhorns
Coach: Zach Monticelli (first season)
2019 record: 6-5
Playoffs: Lost to Centennial in the 4A Mountain Region quarterfinals
Breakdown: The Longhorns lost five games in 2019, but none were by more than eight points. They appeared primed to make a splash in 2020 before COVID-19 wiped out the season.
New coach Monticelli is left with a young group trying to forge its own identity. Senior Montae Pate is expected to be a leader at wide receiver and defensive back, but the Longhorns will need young players to grow up fast to compete in a rugged league.
Palo Verde Panthers
Coach: Joe Aznarez (24-28 entering sixth season)
2019 record: 8-4
Playoffs: Lost to Centennial in the 4A Mountain Region semifinals
Breakdown: The Panthers posted a winning record for the first time in five seasons in 2019, thanks in large part to a punishing ground attack that churned out nearly 3,000 yards.
If Palo Verde wants to have similar success, it will be an entirely new group getting it done. None of the 12 Panthers who accounted for the rushing yardage is back. In fact, Luca Mauriello, who caught one pass for 29 yards in 2019, is the only returning skill player who contributed.
Defensive back Edward Rhambo is the Panthers’ top returner. He had 27 tackles and two interceptions in 2019.
Mountain League
Centennial Bulldogs
Coach: Dustin Forshee (20-13 entering fourth season)
2019 record: 12-2
Playoffs: Lost to Liberty in the 4A state championship game
Breakdown: The Bulldogs will start over after building the program to a run all the way to the state championship game.
Forshee expects Centennial to start as many as 17 underclassmen. The only offensive returner is Brandin Martinez, who ran for 51 yards in 2019. Sophomore Alonzo Balderrama takes over at quarterback, and junior wide receivers Dariusz Zeno and Ternilla Thomas, and senior offensive linemen Thomas Youshouck and Thomas Gili are expect to lead the offense.
Centennial’s strength defensively is on the back end, with outside linebackers Nicauri Shelton and Ali Kamara and defensive back Benjamin Hungerford. Brayden Bayne is arguably the top returning kicker in the valley after he was 3-for-4 on field goals and made 54 extra points in 2019.
Desert Pines Jaguars
Coach: Tico Rodriguez (69-14 entering eight seasons)
2019 record: 11-1
Playoffs: Lost to Centennial in the 4A state semifinals
Breakdown: The Jaguars have been one of the premier programs in the valley, claiming two 3A state titles in 2016 and 2017 and advancing to the 4A state semifinals in 2019.
They have the luxury of a having proven performer at quarterback in Rjay Tagataese, who threw for 2,841 yards and 29 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Running back Jovantae Barnes is the valley’s only returning 1,000-yard rusher. He went for 1,022 and 13 touchdowns on only 126 carries and has scholarship offers from 35 schools.
Jett Solomon is back at wide receiver after catching 18 passes for 239 yards. He’ll also help spearhead the defensive backfield. Defensive end Idgerinn Dean is also expected to be a difference-maker.
Faith Lutheran Crusaders
Coach: Mike Sanford (3-1 entering first full season)
2019 record: 5-6
Playoffs: Lost to Desert Pines in the 4A Mountain League quarterfinals
Breakdown: The Crusaders had a chance to play in the spring and won three games against Class 3A competition. They also saw how far they have to go to be a state contender in a 43-0 loss to Bishop Gorman.
Faith Lutheran has a nice mix of size and speed, with Vili Fetapai, a 320-pounder leading the offensive line, and Jordan Pollard stepping in at running back to add to his linebacking duties. Pollard made the most of the short spring season with 39 tackles, six sacks and an interception.
Green Valley Gators
Coach: Brian Castro (63-35 entering 10th season)
2019 record: 7-5
Playoffs: Lost to Bishop Gorman in the 4A Desert League semifinals
Breakdown: The Gators have only had one losing season during Castro’s tenure, a consistent run they hope to continue.
It won’t be easy in the new 5A, as every team in its league but one won at least one playoff game in 2019. Green Valley is expecting a breakout season from running back Jaylen McKnight, who ran for 102 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries as a sophomore.
He’ll be helped by an offensive line led by Harrison Nielson. The defense will be almost completely retooled, but defensive end Cole Castro should be a leader up front in addition to his tight end duties.
Liberty Patriots
Coach: Rich Muraco (112-33 entering 12th season)
2019 record: 10-5
Playoffs: Defeated Centennial to win the 4A state championship
Breakdown: The Patriots ended Bishop Gorman’s 10-year reign atop the state, and they’re hoping to stay there.
Transfer quarterback Jayden Maiava, a UNLV commit, should help after he threw for 3,317 yards and 41 touchdowns as a sophomore for Kaimuki High in Hawaii in 2019.
He’ll have help from wide receiver Germie Bernard, a Washington commit with 948 yards and 14 touchdowns receiving as a sophomore in 2019. Offensive lineman Jesse Wilson also started on the Patriots’ title team.
The defensive front seven has a pair of Power Five commits in 310-pound defensive tackle Sir Mells (Oregon) and linebacker Anthony Jones (Texas), who could also receive time at tight end. Saco Alopifo, a Utah State commit, and Ikalewa Paaoao give Liberty a pair of physical safeties.

What does a Cirque du Soleil trampoline artist sidelined for 17 months do when called back to work?
He jumps right in.
“Training, obviously, has been my main goal,” Cirque “Michael Jackson One” artist Greg Pennes says through a black face cover during a break in rehearsals. “It’s definitely new for us, dealing with health and safety issues, but once you jump in …”
And you see the smile, even behind the black.
“MJ One,” off for 17 months, is back Thursday at Mandalay Bay. Pennes, born in Paris and an Olympic trampoline qualifier in the 2008 and 2012 games, has been with the show for about six years.
“It’s been amazingly great,” Pennes says of bouncing back to action. “The body remembers. It’s pretty incredible.”
The show’s soundtrack, specifically the Michael Jackson hit, “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” erupts through the theater. During the early friends-and-family rehearsals, ushers have actually offered earplugs to those entering the show.
Thus, “MJ One” is the rare (and to our knowledge, only) Strip production to have audience members’ faces and ears covered. But Cirque requires masks of their performers, along with enforcing the directive for ticketholders.
The show is the third Cirque show to return to the Strip, following “Mystere” at Treasure Island and “O” at Bellagio. The Beatles’ “Love” at the Mirage opens Aug. 26. “Ka” is still unannounced, though the company reps have indicated it will not open before November.
“We are operating in an environment that was created when we were down,” Cirque Senior Artistic Director Kati Renaud says. “You approach this creatively, and asking, ‘How different can we do this?’”
Makeup application for masked performers has been adjusted, of course. That process takes about an hour per performer, with the artists moving in and out of the space in shifts to maintain distance.
But the show has, by early accounts, enlivened its audiences. Yes, they are already Cirque-anointed, but the performers can feel real passion from the stage.
“The first time back, I got goosebumps,” Pennes says. “It was so much different than performing for empty seats. It was emotional, it was magical.”

Here is a list of everything we know about season 3 of The Umbrella Academy while we wait for confirmation of a release date.

Elliot Page Gave a Cryptic Update About the Umbrella Academy Season 3
Fans of the beautifully bizarre Umbrella Academy series will be glad to hear that we’ve had something of an update (small though it may be) on the production of season 3 of the show.
Elliot Page (who plays Vanya Hargreeves) took to Instagram on August 20 to alert fans that production of the third season of The Umbrella Academy is wrapping soon. In his post, he simply wrote “Mornin… almost done S3” with an umbrella emoji.
It’s not much, but considering we don’t have much insight into when we’ll get the third season of the Netflix show, we’ll take it. If you are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this warped story, we’ve pulled together a guide on everything we know so far.
What’s The Umbrella Academy?
If you’ve never watched before, the series follows the story of 43 children who were born on the same day, to mothers who were not pregnant until the day of. Seven of these children were adopted by a megalomaniac billionaire, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and trained to become kid superheroes under the Umbrella Academy.
It’s bizarre and wonderful and takes audiences through time and space as the siblings attempt to stop the end of the world, over and over again.
The show is a screen adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s comics.
The Umbrella Academy season 3 cast
Fans will be pleased to know their old favourites will be returning, even (spoiler alert!) Justin H. Min as Ben Hargreeves – though Collider has reported this character will be nothing like the one we met in previous seasons.
Tom Hopper returns as Luther, David Castañeda plays Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman is coming back as Allison, Robert Sheehan as Klaus, Aidan Gallagher as Five, and Elliot Page as Vanya.
Collider also shared that Colm Feore, Ritu Arya, Adam Godley, and Jordan Claire Robbins are expected to reprise their roles of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, Lila Pitts, Pogo, and Grace Hargreeves.
The introduction of the Sparrow Academy introduces Justin Cornwell as Marcus Hargreeves/Number One, Britne Oldford as Fei Hargreeves/Number Three, Jake Epstein as Alphonso Hargreeves/Number Four, Genesis Rodriguez as Sloane Hargreeves/Number Five and Cazzie David as Jayme Hargreeves/Number Six.
What’s the season release date?
While we know production is nearing its close, thanks to Page, we do not have a confirmed release date as yet. It’s been theorised that late 2021 may be on the cards, but we’re waiting for more news on that front so watch this space.
Tell me about the plot of season 3 of The Umbrella Academy
Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers!
Okay, so season two closed with an arrival into an alternate 2019, where we met the Sparrow Academy and saw Sir Reginald Hargreeves and Ben (number six) alive and well again.
We don’t know loads about the storyline for The Umbrella Academy season 3, but there are some small pieces of information floating around.
Deadline has reported that we’ll be seeing the introduction of Christopher, Sparrow Number Seven also known as Existential Dread Inducing Psykronium Cube. Apparently, this telekinetic cube is treated like any other family member – naturally – and has the ability to act as an oracle, turn a room freezing cold and bring on feelings of extreme fear.
While the Sparrow Academy exists as an alternate version of the Umbrella Academy, the members and their powers are different to those of the OG squad. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out.
READ MORE 10 Netflix Series That Are Essential Viewing
Where can I watch seasons 1 and 2?
As I’m sure you’ve gathered at this point, the first and second seasons of The Umbrella Academy are available to stream on Netflix.
We’ll keep updating this piece as more news comes out regarding The Umbrella Academy season 3.

Lana Del Rey revealed her will prohibits the posthumous release of music in a post commending Anderson .Paak for the same decision.

Lana Del Rey has already taken steps to curtail the possibility of any posthumous releases.
On Wednesday, the Chemtrails Over the Country Club artist took to her Instagram to post a photo of Anderson .Paak's new forearm tattoo which reads, "When I'm gone, please don't release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached."
The text continued, "Those were just demos and never intended to be heard by the public." That said, if Del Rey's caption was any indication, it's clear she feels the same way about any music her label may want to put out after her passing.
"It's in my will but it's also on his tattoo," as she explained in the caption. And though she gave no further explanation, it may have something to do with a recent uptick in posthumous releases culled from artists like Lil Peep and Juice WRLD, which has sparked an ongoing debate about the potential exploitation of an artist's legacy. But unless Del Rey herself speaks further on her decision, we may never know the exact reason for the clause.
In the meantime though, you can see Del Rey's post, below.

Facebook and Instagram have been deleting hateful, abusive comments on Lizzo's social media accounts.
|

Social media platforms are trying to curb the overwhelming amount of hate in Lizzo's comments.
During an emotional Instagram Live from earlier this week, the "Good as Hell" singer spoke about the racist and fatphobic abuse she's received on the heels of her "Rumors" music video, explaining that her "tolerance" for the bullshit was much lower while "working this hard" on new releases.
"On the days when I should feel the happiest, it just — I feel so down," Lizzo said, before revealing that one of the most disheartening parts was all the hateful rhetoric directed toward "Black women over and over and over again, especially us big Black girls."
"Sometimes I feel like the world just don't love me back," she went on to add. "It's like it doesn't matter how much positive energy you put into the world, you're still gonna have people who have something mean to say about you."
According to the Hollywood Reporter though, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that the company — which also owns Instagram — had removed several hateful comments posted on Lizzo's pages, citing violations of both platform's hate speech and harassment guidelines. The publication also reports that Facebook's announcement comes after last week's launch of a new Instagram opt-in feature that allows people to limit comments and DM request amid "spikes of increased attention."
Granted, while Lizzo stated that this kind of abuse "should not fly," she also went on to tell Good Morning America that social media has been an integral part of getting her message out, as she "could've been erased" otherwise.
"Black women have been in this industry and innovating it forever. It is unfortunate that we are the ones who do suffer from the marginalization the most," she said before adding, "I feel like if it weren't for the internet and social media, I could've been erased. I chose to be undeniable and I chose to be loud and I chose to be great. And I'm still here. It's difficult."

Attention all e-boys and e-girls, LILHUDDY is the latest celebrity to get into the beauty game.
Following in the footsteps of fellow pop punk aficionado Machine Gun Kelly, the TikTok star just launched a nail sticker collaboration with Glamnetic that can only be described as having some serious Hot Topic vibes — cobwebs, flames and checker print, et al. — which can only mean that the RAWRing '20s are alive and well.
But why is this such a big deal? Well, in addition to this being Glamnetic's first celebrity collab, it's also the company's first foray into gel nail stickers that make at-home nail art super easy. All you need to do is pick the right sticker sizes, apply the stickers, file your nails down and cure it all underneath a UV lamp for a quick, no clean-up mani that can last up to three weeks.
"We saw LILHUDDY was really into nails; he's a trendsetter really leading the movement for males wearing nails and looking cool AF doing it," as Glamnetic CEO and co-founder, Ann McFerran, told Seventeen. "We were launching a whole new innovative [nail] technology — gel nail stickers — and wanted someone who could provide a unique vibe and perspective to it like no other."
Each pack of 20 sticker set comes in 10 inclusive sizes, alongside a nail file, cuticle stick and alcohol pad for $19.99. Check out the entire nail sticker collection here.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a stabbing over the weekend.
San Rafael police responded to a report of a fight at a party in the 300 block of Prospect Drive at about 9:50 p.m. Saturday, Lt. Dan Fink said. A 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the neck and twice in the back.
The victim was transported to a hospital and has been released, Fink said.
Investigators found evidence that prompted them to obtain a search warrant for a home on Prospect Drive. The suspect was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police did not release his name because he is a minor.

On Wednesday, Alabama had negative 29 ICU beds available.
|

Medical professionals in Alabama are sounding the alarm over the monstrous surge of COVID-19 cases that is overwhelming the state's hospitals—which are quickly running short on staff and space.
"We are set on a path that looks disastrous," Dr. Donald Williamson, president and CEO of the Alabama Hospital Association, said in a state medical association COVID-19 update Thursday.
Currently, Alabama is reporting around 4,000 new cases per day. Medical experts in the Yellowhammer State expect that, sometime next week, Alabama will exceed its previous record in average daily cases, which was set in January at around 4,500 new cases per day.
Meanwhile, hospitalizations are also nearing all-time highs of around 3,000 people hospitalized each day. Statewide, 81 percent of hospital beds were in use and ICU beds are at 100 percent capacity. The Alabama Department of Health confirmed to Ars on Thursday that the state reported having "negative 29" ICU beds available on Wednesday (an updated number for Thursday was not yet available).
"Basically, throughout the state, we're now in situations where we're seeing patients who show up in the ER needing to be admitted [and] spending—in some cases—days in the ER getting ICU-level care, in the ER, because there's no place for them to go," Williamson said.
Alabama doctors also said they're seeing more young patients hospitalized with COVID-19 than before—and more of them are dying. Doctors attribute this to the hypertransmissible and potentially more dangerous delta coronavirus variant. The state's number of pediatric COVID-19 patients currently hospitalized is higher than it has ever been in the pandemic, a record being set right before the start of a new school year.

Space, staff, and shots
Brimming hospitals isn't just a problem for those seeking care for severe COVID-19. "Unfortunately, we're still having strokes, heart attacks, motor vehicle accidents, kids are still falling out of trees," Williamson said. If disaster strikes, there's no guarantee there will be a bed, he added. Hospitals have already been transferring patients to different hospitals, diverting new patients, and sending patients out-of-state to Georgia. And many hospitals are delaying surgeries, like knee and hip replacements and even cancer-related surgeries.
But, while space in hospitals is creating a crunch, Williamson noted that his biggest concern is staffing. Staff at hospitals is already thin, and hospitals are trying to recruit more nurses.
"We can expand the space," Williamson said. "The rate-limiting step in our response is going to be staff. That's really the thing that makes me most anxious."
Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said that he was in talks with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assess if the state qualifies for disaster response medical teams to help with the patient load. Several neighboring states have already needed disaster relief teams.
In the live event, Harris, Williamson and other Alabama medical officials pleaded with the public to get vaccinated, wear masks to lower transmission, and—for those exposed or infected to the pandemic coronavirus—to seek treatment with monoclonal antibodies early. The treatments, when given early, can prevent the illness from progressing to a severe stage. This, in turn, will keep more people from needing to head to the already overflowing hospitals.
Unfortunately, as Williamson noted, first doses of vaccines given now will take weeks to offer full protection. New vaccinations won't help curb the current surge. As such, the state is set to exceed the case and hospitalization levels seen in January, when its healthcare system "almost failed," Williamson said. "It is going to get very bad for everybody."

The hurricane grounded flights and forced tourists to spend the night in shelters on Mexico's Caribbean coastline before weakening to a tropical storm as it moved inland.
People gather near downed trees after Hurricane Grace made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula, in Tulum, Mexico, August 19, 2021. (Reuters)
Hurricane Grace has struck Mexico's Caribbean coast just south of the ancient Mayan temples of Tulum, tearing the roofs off some homes, knocking out power to thousands and keeping tourists off white sand beaches as it crossed the Yucatan Peninsula.
The push across land weakened the storm on Thursday, but by evening it was centered back over water — the Gulf of Mexico — and the US National Hurricane Center said it was again regaining strength as it headed for a collision with the Mexican mainland late Friday or early Saturday.
The Category 1 storm had already soaked earthquake-damaged Haiti, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands en route to a direct hit on the Riviera Maya, the heart of Mexico's tourism industry.

Harrowing hours for residents
Grace's center struck just south of Tulum with maximum sustained winds of 130 kph, according to the Hurricane Center.
By nightfall, tropical-storm-force winds were back up to 95 kph and rising. It was centered about 565 kilometers east-northeast of Veracruz and was heading west at 24 kph.
In Tulum, some families passed harrowing hours sheltering from cracking trees and flying debris.
Around 2 AM Thursday, as Grace's eye spun just offshore, Carlos González grabbed his 1 1/2-year-old son and ran from his home with his wife to a public school converted into a shelter for dozens of families. The light from his cell phone helped them find their way through the dark streets.
“The only thing I have left is what I'm wearing,” the 35-year-old construction worker said. “I knew my house wasn't going to stand it because it's made of cardboard. When the wind came I was really scared and decided to leave.”
Miguel Ángel Garcia decided to stay. On Thursday, he used a machete to hack at a tree trunk that had fallen onto his home's roof.
“The wind came and they told us we should get to the school, but we didn't have time because the trees started coming," said the 33-year-old waiter. "We decided to stay and not go out into the street and leave it up to God.”

Power shortage, roads blocked
Many streets were blocked by fallen limbs and trees that pulled down power lines, leaving thousands in the dark.
Most businesses remained closed, but the few that opened saw long lines of residents waiting to buy tortillas and other food.
Quintana Roo Governor Carlos Joaquín said the storm had knocked out power to some 84,000 customers in Cancun and 65,000 in Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Puerto Aventura and Tulum.
But he said there were no reported deaths.
Cancun's international airport reopened Thursday afternoon.
One lane of the highway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum was blocked by a fallen road sign. A gas station was destroyed when a large pavilion blew down, smashing two cars.
The state had opened shelters and evacuated some hotels and residents ahead of the storm's arrival. Grace missed the popular cruise ship destination Cozumel and came ashore south of Playa del Carmen, where the downtown, usually thumping with music and clubgoers, was eerily desolate Wednesday night.
Authorities had ordered all businesses closed and people inside by 8 PM.
State authorities said that as of last week, the region was hosting about 130,000 tourists and hotels were more than half full despite the pandemic.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris's upcoming trip to Vietnam and Singapore will show that the United States is in the region "to stay," a senior administration official said, as the U.S. seeks to bolster international support to counter China's growing global influence, Trend reports citing Reuters.
Harris' trip to Asia aims to establish deeper ties with a network of allies in Southeast Asia, which the United States considers key to checking Chinese expansion.
A senior White House official told Reuters earlier this month that the vice president's focus would be on defending international rules in the South China Sea, strengthening U.S. regional leadership and expanding security cooperation in the region.
"The administration is ... making clear that we have an enduring commitment to this region, that we're part of the Indo-Pacific and in the region to stay," the official said.
The trip comes at a time when the Biden administration is battling a crisis following its decision to pull out troops from Afghanistan. The official said Harris would continue to work on issues tied to Afghanistan while on her Asia trip.
"It's been an overwhelming focus and priority of the whole team including the vice president ... at the same time, it is also true that Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific are really important. And that's why she's going," the official added.
Harris is due in Singapore on Sunday. She will be the first U.S. vice president to visit Vietnam and arrives in the country on Tuesday and departs next Thursday.
During her trip, Harris will have a phone call with Singapore President Halimah Yacob, participate in a bilateral meeting with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and deliver remarks on a U.S. combat ship visiting Singapore. She will also hold a meeting to discuss supply chain issues with representatives from the private sector and government.
In Hanoi, Vietnam, Harris will meet with leaders including President Ngyuen Xuan Phuc and Prime Minister Pham Ming Chinh and lead the U.S. delegation in launching a regional office for the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

Carnival Cruise Line extends its suspension into December 2021 for two cruise ships based in Australia.

There has been a lost focus on Carnival Cruise Line resuming cruise operations in the U.S. but here are also two vessels based out of Australia. The situation there is not looking as good with the cruise line extending its suspension for two ships in Australia.
More Carnival Cancellations in Australia
The cruise line has extended its pause of operations out of Australia, which impacts the Carnival Splendor and Carnival Spirit. The cancellations are now as far as December due to the restrictions in place by the Australia Government.
Cruises are now canceled for both vessels through December 16. The cruise line says, “As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we are sorry to share the news that Carnival Cruise Line is pausing operations for selected Australian sailings departing from 15 March 2020 through to and including 16 December 2021.”
Both vessels are currently docked in Dubai as they remain on hold until Australia can come up with a solution on restarting its cruise industry. The ships were previously suspended until late November 2021, and the suspension keeps getting extended every few months.

Those guests impacted by the further cancellations are being provided with options. Guests booked on sailings six nights or more can receive a 100% future cruise credit. Guests can also get AUD$900 onboard credit per stateroom if they rebook by December 31, 2021. There is also the same offer for those booked on sailings five nights or less but with a low onboard credit of AUD$450 per stateroom.
When making the rebooking, guests can choose any sailing by September 30, 2021. Of course, there is the option of a full refund if a Carnival cruise is no longer wanted. The future cruise options will be applied automatically, but guests will need to use an online form if they wish to cancel.
Carnival Cruise Line won’t resume operations in Australia until the government comes out with a planned framework to keep guests and crew members safe. At the moment, and as stated by the Minister for Health and Aged Care, the Human Biosecurity Emergency Period under the Biosecurity Act 2015 has already been extended a further three months until September 17, 2021.
There will be a huge push towards reopening the cruise industry in the region when the International Cruise Lines Association (CLIA) holds a Virtual Cruise Forum on August 27 to discuss these matters and provides an important insight into how the cruise industry can make a comeback.

Even though Carnival Splendor and Carnival Spirit are to remain on hold, other ships in the fleet based out of the U.S. are making a return. So far, a total of seven ships have already restarted, and Carnival Panorama will become the eighth to resume when she departs out of California on Saturday, August 21.

Almost 10 years ago, six-year-old Aamina Ruqayyah Khan went missing from Croydon after being abducted by her own mother to Pakistan.
Aamina had been taken from her grandmother’s Morden home on 26th August 2011, by a parent who was not her primary carer.
Her father Dr. Safraz Khan, who lived in Croydon, had gained custody of her after the marriage broke down when Aamina was just three.
By removing the child from her father, Aamina’s mother had committed a crime under the Child Abduction Act 1984.
Now, 10 years later, as Aamina reaches a milestone at 16 years old, Khan still does not know whereabouts of his daughter, and she remains a missing person.
He spoke to South West Londoner about their story and the desperate quest to find her.

As hotel quarantine begins its price rise and its use all but confirmed for many months to come, questions around its necessity and value for price have begun to come up and whether it really is preventing cases from skyrocketing.

As hotel quarantine begins its price rise and its use all but confirmed for many months to come, questions around its necessity and value for price have begun to come up and whether it really is preventing cases from skyrocketing.
On 15 February of this year, hotel quarantine was officially put in place for all travellers arriving from red list countries, where travellers would have to spend 10 days, 11 nights, in a managed hotel before being allowed back into the general public.
The policy’s implementation came after mounting pressure on the Government to put in stronger border measures to tackle the rise in Covid cases and new variants emerging from travellers.
At the time the shadow home secretary, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said the delay in announcing details of the policy was putting people at risk.
"I do not understand what the government's strategy has been when it comes to borders."
Shadow minister @jreynoldsMP says the govt was slow to introduce hotel quarantine for travellers, as a new Brazil variant is detected in the UK.
Latest on #COVID19: https://t.co/LQY0hrKp9k pic.twitter.com/mcvq1grn9O — Sky News (@SkyNews) March 1, 2021
His sentiments came amid the concern over the Beta variant which had been discovered six weeks prior but with few measures to handle it.
The hotel quarantine measures were based off the Australian and New Zealand systems which had effectively eradicated Covid in a matter of months and resulted in both countries having little to no cases for the most part of the pandemic.
Where the UK differs, however, is in its policy to who was allowed in as only those on the red list had to be in managed quarantine while all others could quarantine at home – despite all passengers being on the same plane and in the same queues.
Regardless, hotel quarantine has remained in effect for over 60 countries since February, as Britons awaited their vaccines, with many families and people hoping for an end to the quarantine system promptly.
Unfortunately the Government has in recent days announced further price increases to the programme in a bid to deter individuals from visiting high risk countries and to cover the rising costs of the hotel.
Around 30,000 people have been said to have passed through hotel quarantine but the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has reiterated that people should not be travelling to red list countries and only people British or Irish citizens, or people with permanent rights of residence should make use of this system if absolutely necessary.
Many stories have emerged from hotel quarantine with many expressing their disgust and discomfort with the various hotels they were placed in and has since resulted in a review of hotel security after multiple women reported being sexually assaulted by male security.
These concerns along with the cost factor has been part of the debate ever since about whether these hotels are worth the amount and the new price being set at £2250 many feel undercut by the policy.
Booking page for hotel quarantine for 10 days and 11 nights
Matt Brown, a civil engineer from South Africa, moved to the UK in May and had to go into a managed hotel for his 10 days of quarantine.
He said: “Although I was exhausted from my travels and not particularly in the mood to spend an exorbitant sum of money for my 10-day isolation, I was still excited to do my time and start my new adventure.
“Other passengers along with myself, were anxious about which hotel we were being assigned to, as no options were available upon the booking of the hotels.
“Stories were shared, some good and some not so good, from certain individuals who had known someone who had already experienced the quarantine.”
Matt was placed at the Radisson Blu Heathrow hotel for his 10 days, where he told SW Londoner that he was one of the lucky ones as he had good quality food which came three times a day and had multiple options and adequate time to exercise, something that he found extremely helpful to get through the whole ordeal.
QUARANTINE: Matt was able to use the car park to exercise
He said: “One of the things I looked forward to was my guarded time outside. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go out into the parking lot multiple times a day for an extended period.
“Just experiencing the fresh air and the ability to do some exercise and actually talk to other people face to face become really important, especially for my mental health.”
This is in stark contrast to others, however, with some travellers staying in other hotels describing ‘horror scenes’ where in one incident a woman was put onto an IV for food poising and in a more recent incident where a traveller had to be moved to two different rooms due to a rat problem.
The choice of hotels is left up to CTM, the company tasked by the government to manage all quarantine bookings in England, and travellers are either lucky enough to be placed in the five-star Radisson or a rat infested Mercure London Heathrow.
QUALITY FOOD: A typical hotel breakfast for Matt, provided by someone wearing full PPE
Matt continued: “Despite my stay going off without a many glitches, I can’t justify spending that amount of money again, especially for myself as I am new to the work force and that money could has been better spent towards my future.
“Unfortunately I won’t be returning back home to see my family until South Africa is removed from the red list because I just cant afford it and don’t want to run the risk of being in a worse hotel.”
Matt is not alone in his feelings towards the entire quarantine process with a group of travellers who have stayed in the managed quarantine hotels now launching legal action against the government over these rules.
PGMBM managing partner Tom Goodhead said: “Mandatory hotel quarantine is a fundamental breach of human rights. It has led to the false imprisonment of people who are fully vaccinated and have tested negative.
“Prisoners are entitled to more liberty than those forced to quarantine in hotels.”
Currently there are no plans to scrap the system and with the fee increase it may be a sign of a longer future with hotel quarantines but with more than 77% of the total UK population having had two vaccines it will be seen if restrictions for travellers will ease further and the costly quarantines scrapped.

The first documented game of bike polo took place in County Wicklow, Ireland in 1891 between Rathclaren Rovers and Ohne Hast Cycling Club with one man, Richard J Mecredy, holding the most credible claim of inventing the game.
Bike polo became popular in London in the proceeding years as a more affordable alternative to its more aristocratic namesake, spreading from Ireland to England, and then to France and the US.
It was also played as a demonstration game in the 1908 London Olympics, where Ireland beat Germany 3-1.
Despite this debut on the world stage, the interest in bike polo steadily declined for the next two decades before a small but committed set of enthusiasts established the Bicycle Polo Association of Great Britain with an official rulebook and league.
In the years leading up to the Second World War, there were over 170 documented teams and over 1000 players.
In the present day, the sport is very niche, but in London it is has become a small but enduring sub-culture.
SWL went to a London bike polo session to find out more.
The sport has never quite reached its pre-Second World War popularity, but in small enclaves across the country in Birmingham, Bristol and London – a passionate group of bike polo fanatics remains, playing the game in exactly the same way as their 1930s counterparts.
The rules are simple.
Using a mallet, you have to hit the ball into the goal whilst riding a fixed-gear bike and the team with the most goals at the end of ten minutes wins.
You are not allowed to touch the ground with your feet or you are temporarily out of the game until you ‘tap’ back in.
SWL spoke to a woman who plays conventional polo to a high level.
“I’m in the UK for a polo tournament, but I’ve just started playing bike polo too. It’s great,” she said.
“My bike seems to misbehave more than the horse to be honest! It’s very different but striking the ball is quite similar.”
The most striking thing about the game is its relaxed nature.
One of the members of the London Bike Polo summed up the general theme: “Basically the golden rule is don’t be a prat!”
There have been pushes in the past to have the game formally recognised by Sport England which would bring with it significant funding, however for the foreseeable future it looks likely that bike polo will remain outside of the mainstream.

Entrepreneurs across the country, looking for a career change and with more time to think about it, have found the pandemic the perfect time to start their businesses.

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.swlondoner.co.uk%2Ffood-drink%2F19082021-the-delivery-industry-entrepreneurs-that-made-the-most-of-the-pandemic%2F.json

Over the last year, the delivery industry has boomed and large delivery companies like JustEat and Deliveroo have seen the pay-off, with JustEat splashing more than $5m on a Snoop Dogg advert and Deliveroo going public.
But it’s not just the big names who have made the most of the lockdowns.
Entrepreneurs across the country, looking for a career change and with more time to think about it, have found the pandemic the perfect time to start their businesses.
SWL spoke to the entrepreneurs behind Croydon Eats (a local takeaway platform), Vanoffee (the ice cream van for coffee and cakes), and Weezy (one of many supermarket delivery platforms popping up in London).
What did we learn? It’s not just the lockdown that set these companies up for success, but the local people buying from them.
Croydon Eats
Paul Sweeney and Andy Szebeni launched Croydon Eats in March 2021 after hunting for a venture idea that would fit around Paul’s responsibility as a single parent to primary aged children.
Andy said: “We were seeing lots of stories of takeaway companies having incredibly deep pockets and you could see where the money was going – into advertising and into the pockets of the investors.
“We thought there must be a gap in the market for something more grounded, just looking to help local businesses to grow their customer base.”
They came across the tech they needed ready-made and brought their respective previous experience to build a local delivery company to counter dominating influence of the ‘big three’ (Deliveroo, JustEat and UberEats) in their home town of Croydon.
GAP IN THE MARKET: Paul and Andy, founders of Croydon Eats
The pair found the lockdown didn’t just help them by giving them a bit more time to think, it also helped with winning takeaway outlets online who were looking for new ways to generate income.
One downside of the pandemic was how much more difficult it was to build effective partnerships with outlets and bring them on board while following social distancing measures.
“Being out and about with a mask and 2m away was not as easy as it could have been,” added Andy whose background was in sales.
And this made it more difficult to build connections with people in the area, the most important and rewarding part of Croydon Eat’s journey so far, according to the pair.
Andy said: “Just having conversations with outlet owners or potential customers, it makes you feel connected with the community, and it makes you feel like you’re doing something worthwhile.”
And this connection with the local people is likely to be the key to Paul and Andy’s start-up as well as many others around the UK as more people look to spend their money at independent businesses after the pandemic.
According to a recent study by Vistaprint, 41% of us would be prepared to pay more for a coffee or lunch if it meant supporting a small business.
Vanoffee
“I’M SO PROUD OF IT”: April and her business partner/dad with the Vanoffee van
April Kennedy, a 24 year-old graduate from Altrincham in Manchester, found the same thing when starting her lockdown start-up Vanoffee, an ice cream van for coffee and cakes.
On being out on the road and connecting with people, she said: “It just makes you realise how supportive people are of a new start-up business.
“So many people have said to me: ‘I’d rather come to your van than go to Costa or Starbucks, not just because I like what you sell but also because you’re a new concept in the community and I want to see your business do well and I really want to support you.’ It’s just lovely.”
April started Vanoffee after quitting her first job out of university when she was put on furlough.
The idea for a coffee van that drove around delivering coffee and cake came to her during lockdown when she was on a walk around the park, all the cafes were closed and all that was open was an ice cream van in the park and she thought: ‘I wish there was something like that for coffee’.
April built the business from scratch with help from her business partner, who is also her dad and now spends five days working hard to offer coffee, cakes, make sure the vans got enough stock and keeping it clean.
And, one step up from just an ice cream van for coffee and cake, the van can be tracked via an app with the day’s schedule, so that returning customers can know when to expect their Vanoffee fix.
She said: “It’s quite a rewarding feeling, seeing it all come to life, it’s very surreal.
“To think that this time last year I was on furlough and I’d started volunteering for a radio station, I didn’t really know what I was doing.
“But now I’m so proud of Vanoffee. Every night I want to make sure the van is spick and span.”
Going forward, April thinks Vanoffee will be able to make the most of the hybrid working world with many people still working from her for much of the week and in need of a coffee.
She said: “If you work from home and you live in an estate miles away from any coffee shops, then the van and app are the perfect solution.
“It’s a really good break to get people out of the house to buy a coffee, have a quick chat and head back – rather than sitting in your home office alone all day.”
SMILES ALL ROUND: Weezy’s grocery delivery
Weezy
It’s not just small grassroots business making the most of the delivery boom, there’s a multi-million pound sector: immediate supermarket delivery.
In London alone, there are a ton of brand new companies trying to be the Deliveroo of the sector including Getir and Gorillas.
One of the players focussing on London and Brighton is Weezy, founded by Kristof Van Beveren.
Kristof had the idea when faced with the very problem he needed to fix himself: on a business trip, too tired to cook and not wanting an unhealthy takeaway, he realised a need for a way to order food, not a takeaway, just normal, supermarket food.
The reception has been particularly good after working from home meant most people could not pass a supermarket to pick up essentials or needed ingredients on the way home from work.
According to Charlie, who was leafletting for Weezy on Brighton beach just a month after their launch there, most people have had very positive responses to the idea and been keen to find out more about the company.
She said: “I like Weezy particularly because they use independent businesses, not always just the chains, it makes me think they’re a nice company.”
Even for a start-up eyed up by VCs, local and independent businesses still shows its importance.

Twickenham MP Munira Wilson has slammed a proposal by South Western Railway to reduce rail services from key stations across the constituency.
The Liberal Democrat MP criticised the plan for a 50% reduction in direct trains from Whitton to Richmond and Waterloo and for no services to run from Whitton between 7.50am and 8.20am.
South Western Railway said on Tuesday that it is implementing changes to the December 2022 timetable because of low train usage during the Covid-19 pandemic – as more people are working from home.
Wilson said: “It is outrageous that SWR have launched a consultation on significant timetable changes over the summer when many people are away.
“There has been very little publicity, and with people working from home, the majority of commuters will be unaware of the proposals.
“To make matters worse the documentation produced by SWR is difficult to interpret.
“I am calling upon SWR to extend the consultation period and communicate the proposed changes more clearly.
“They should publish a clear station by station guide to highlight the actual impact these proposals would have on services, compared to their pre-pandemic level.”
There is a consultation period until 19 September where people can offer their views on the proposal on the South Western Railway website.
The plan has already been condemned by Richmond Council.
Some Twitter users have also criticised the proposal.
There are some quite radical cuts proposed here. @chhcalling no reference is made to the newly published SWML strategy by @networkrail yet this document is a joint @SW_Help + Network Rail proposal. The sum of the parts don’t add up. Those directly affected by SWR services read! https://t.co/NPszXUURDc — John Wynne (@RealJohnWynne) August 15, 2021
Wilson will be attending a meeting with SWR at the beginning of September where she said she will challenge them on the proposal and seek further clarification on what it means for her constituency.
However, a South Western Railway spokesperson said: “We are currently running an eight-week stakeholder consultation on our proposals for the December 2022 timetable, which we are urging all MPs, councillors and passenger groups across our network to respond to.
“The pandemic has brought about a sharp reduction in passenger numbers and changes to travel patterns and, based on what our customers are telling us, future demand is forecast to reach no higher than 76% of pre-Covid levels.
“This gives us a unique opportunity to review our timetable, address historic performance issues and deliver more robust and resilient train services.
“While our proposals do include a reduction in frequencies on some routes, the rollout of our new fleet of Arterio trains will help us to still provide 93 % of pre-Covid capacity – greatly outstripping forecast demand.
“By making this change, we aim to ease congestion across our network, consolidate the performance improvements we have seen over the past 18 months and deliver a more efficient service that provides excellent value to the taxpayer.
“We’re confident that, through these proposed changes, we’ll be able to build back a better railway which provides efficiency, value for money and the performance improvements that our customers expect and deserve.”

Kingfishers have returned to parts of south west London in a sign things are returning to normal.

Kingfishers have returned to parts of south west London in a sign things are returning to normal.
Carpenter Guy St John, 54, has been watching and photographing kingfishers along the banks of the River Wandle in south London regularly for six years.
But for the last nine months, there has been no sign of the elusive blue bird.
Until now.
St John said: “There was a breeding pair earlier in the year, but there was so much foot traffic and so many dogwalkers, it was untenable for them to be there. They need peace and quiet.
“They were driven away, which was an unhappy side-effect of lockdown. But now they’re back and ready to go again, which is a sign of things returning to normal.
“I knew why they’d gone, but I knew they would be back.”
St John, who also performs maintenance around the area in his spare time, including installing perches for the birds and clearing away debris and rubbish, shared the news via a tweet.
He added that kingfishers have been long-term residents of Merton, and that footpaths in the borough are overgrown and full of wildlife, but in lockdown the undergrowth was trampled back by walkers, affecting the environment and its inhabitants.
HOME SWEET HOME: The kingfishers are already settling back in onto their perch in south London. Photo: Guy St John
Capturing photographs of kingfishers is very time consuming and expensive but, according to his partner Kim, has become St John’s obsession.
He has visited the river almost every weekend for the last four years and has spent thousands of hours trying to get a good shot.
However, it is not all about the photographs, but the full experience of sitting by the river and being in nature that keeps St John coming back.
He even visits in winter when temperatures are below zero, as kingfishers are active all year round.
After nearly 9 months of no KF action on my local stretch there’s now two Kingies wanting to have their picture taken @Natures_Voice pic.twitter.com/qiaqqQGrh8 — KingfishersOfSouthLondon (@BFGbronco) August 9, 2021
St John said: “I feel very privileged to have seen them in their life cycles as they’re shy birds.”
Exact locations of the kingfisher sightings are not being revealed to help project the birds.
So, if you’re ever walking by the River Wandle, keep your eyes peeled for a blue flash, and your ears open for their distinctive whistling sound.
But remember, conceal yourself well and of course, respect your surroundings.
Follow Guy St John on Twitter, Instagram, or Flickr for photographs and updates on kingfishers and other wildlife in south London.

Incoming international travellers to the UK have slammed a PCR test company after finding drop-off bins overflowing with samples.

Incoming international travellers to the UK have slammed a PCR test company after finding a drop-off bin in Sutton overflowing with samples.
A photograph of a pile of uncollected PCR tests has been circling social media to much condemnation.
Gavin Marshall, 51, captured a picture of the overflowing drop-off box run by private healthcare firm Randox Laboratories at Westmead Street, Sutton.
The teaching assistant from Southfields paid £43 for his 16-year-old daughter’s day two PCR test on her return from a six-day holiday in Algarve, Portugal and was feeling ‘ripped off’.
Gavin said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw the box. I was surprised that so many people had submitted the tests and the box was so insecure. I thought the box would be bigger and more secure.
“I looked to see where the next nearest box was but it was too far for me to make the submission deadline.
“It only counts as a fresh sample if you submit it the same day. I thought I had no choice but to squeeze it in the box and hope for the best. I am sure all the other people felt the same.
“I also thought that this could risk the travel plans of the people who had paid for a pre-travel PCR if they do not get their results back.
“For the sake of fairness and transparency I should add that we got the negative result within 25 hours.”
OVERSTUFFED: A Randox bin with Covid tests balanced on top
Randox has more than 200 PCR test drop-off locations across the UK, and the issue identified in Sutton is not an isolated incident.
The London-based company’s drop-off points in Bournemouth, Bishop’s Stortford and Hampstead in London have also been spotted with a large number of tests.
British travellers preparing to go abroad, or returning from overseas trips, are forced to pay private companies for quick turnaround tests.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is currently investigating the cost of PCR tests over concerns of holidaymakers paying wildly different amounts for them.
A Randox spokesperson said: “Randox is constantly expanding and improving its Covid-19 testing capacity and associated logistics network, which is already the largest in the United Kingdom, to meet the rapidly growing demand resulting from the loosening of travel restrictions.
“Randox continues to increase the number of drop boxes across the United Kingdom, which already totals over 200 and is increasing the frequency of box collections which are already occurring multiple times per day.
“Randox is providing premium testing services in dynamic and rapidly changing circumstances and is committed to continuously improving its logistics network, to ensure that international travellers receive their results in time.”
The company has also confirmed all the sample kits pictured will be processed.

The California Supreme Court declined on Wednesday to hear the Orange County Board of Education’s petition seeking to overturn Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statewide mask mandate for K-12 students.
Earlier this month, the board voted 4-0 to pursue the legal challenge, saying they believed the mandate “compounds the harm to California’s children previously caused by prior school closures and unwarranted masking requirements.”
Public health experts have said that masks help decrease the spread of the coronavirus, but some parents have challenged masking in schools, saying it is harmful. The board does not have the authority to impose regulations over districts in the county.
“The Supreme Court rejecting this effort to stand in the way further reaffirms the state’s strategy” of relying on safety measures like universal masking to keep students safe at schools, said Alex Stack, the deputy communications director for Newsom’s office.

Two people were arrested Thursday in connection with a fatal traffic collision that killed three people in Burbank earlier this month, officials announced.
A 19-year-old Burbank resident and an unidentified 17-year-old were both arrested on suspicion of three counts each of murder and one count each of reckless driving, the Burbank Police Department said in a news release. The charges against the minor are pending review by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office, police said.
The series of crashes involving multiple vehicles occurred on Aug. 3 at the intersection of Glenoaks Boulevard and Andover Drive. The initial crash involved three vehicles and occurred shortly before midnight.
One of the vehicles, a Volkswagen, was split in half and caught fire following the crash. Three of the occupants were ejected from the Volkswagen and found near the wreckage, police said at the time.
The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as Cerain Anthony Raekwon Baker, 21, of Pasadena, Jaiden Kishon Johnson, 20, of Burbank, and Natalee Asal Moghaddam, 19, of Calabasas.
A fourth victim was hospitalized with critical injuries, and information on his or her condition was not available.
A Kia that was also involved in the crash continued northbound on Glenoaks Boulevard until it struck some parked vehicles near Birmingham Road. The driver of that vehicle, described only as a male, was hospitalized in serious condition.
A Mercedes-Benz was also involved in the incident but its occupants were not injured.
Investigators determined the Mercedes-Benz and the Kia appeared to be racing when the Volkswagen was struck as its driver was trying to make a left turn.
“This tragic and avoidable event was caused by subjects racing vehicles and driving recklessly at very high rates of speed,” the department said Thursday. “The Burbank Police Department reminds all community members that such reckless acts will not be tolerated.”
The department presented the case to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office, which filed charges.
The driver of the gray Kia, Hamlet Arseni Aghajanyan, was charged with three counts of murder and one
count of reckless driving, officials said. The 19-year-old Burbank resident was arrested Thursday.
Aghajanyan is being held in lieu of $6,000,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 23.
The driver of the black Mercedes Benz, a 17-year-old minor, was also taken into custody Thursday. The minor is being detained at a juvenile detention facility on three counts of murder and one count of reckless driving, pending review of the case by the D.A.’s office.
The father of one of the victims, Cerain Anthony Raekwon Baker, is famed comedian Tony Baker, the dad revealed on his social media. He has since launched an online petition to stop illegal street racing in Burbank.
The area where the collision occurred has been known for speeding and street racing problems in the past.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has any information is asked to contact the Burbank
Police Department Investigation Division at 818-238-3210.

MPs have stated that people must be safeguarded from high charging fees for public electric vehicles. It is much less expensive to charge an electric vehicle at home than to use public charging stations. According to the Transport Select Committee, this could strain those who are less capable of affording it. According to the MPs, the government should also make charging infrastructure more accessible and reliable and ensure that residents in rural regions have equal access. By 2030, the UK intends to ban the purchase of new diesel and petrol cars, as well as hybrids. That means that by 2050,

On July 21, Russia launched a long-awaited module for its International Space Station section, but the module apparently experienced technical issues after reaching orbit. At 10:58 a.m. Eastern, a Proton-M rocket launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome carrying Nauka or the Multipurpose Laboratory Module. About 570 seconds after launch, the module split from rocket’s upper stage. Nauka’s navigational antennas and solar arrays were deployed quickly after separation, according to both Roscosmos and NASA.
Neither agency has offered any additional information on the state of Nauka. However, Russian industry sources have indicated that the module had several issues after being launched into orbit.

lMeasat, a Malaysian satellite operator, said on July 17 that it had retained command control and continuous telemetry of an aged satellite that had been moving westward in geostationary orbit for about a month, according to ExoAnalytic Solutions, a well-known space tracking company. Measat-3 began moving out of the 91.5 East orbital slot after the ExoAnalytic space tracking system identified an anomaly on June 21. After starting to drift on June 22, Measat-3 appears to have made many in-orbit maneuvers, but “none since our analysts determined on July 1 that it was tumbling,” according to Bill Therien, executive vice president

Executives said that without universally approved norms and incentives to maintain space as a sustainable environment, safe satellite deployment by governments and commercial firms would become increasingly challenging. According to Jennifer Warren, who serves as the vice president in charge of the civil and regulatory activities at Lockheed Martin, current efforts to define “norms of behavior” for safe space activities are scattered and poorly integrated.
Warren said that while space sustainability is a common goal of many countries, “achieving and sustaining it demands a level of international coordination and partnership that we’re still aspiring to,” at an online session organized

According to Rocket Lab, the source of an Electron launch malfunction over two months ago has been determined, and the vehicle is prepared to fly again. The Electron rocket launched from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 located in New Zealand on May 15 failed to reach orbit. The upper stage’s solitary Rutherford engine fired shortly after stage separation but seemed to shut down seconds afterward. A half-hour later, the corporation declared the vehicle is missing.
The underlying cause of the problem, according to Rocket Lab, was the rocket’s second-stage engine igniter mechanism. A malfunction with the igniter distorted signals in

The governor of Indiana has stated that the Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue University would soon begin testing the viability of “Magment,” a magnetized concrete that can be used to charge electric vehicles while they are on the road. Magment was created by the same-named firm in Germany. Governor Eric J. Holcomb said, “Indiana is renowned as the Crossroads of America, and we’re committed to solidifying our place as a transportation pioneer by innovating to accommodate upcoming automotive technologies.”
Several efforts have been created in recent years with the goal of charging electric automobiles as they pass by using

SES, a satellite operator, is heading a consortium to create a system to protect communications in Luxembourg from cyberattacks that could feed into Europe’s larger plan for the network protected by the quantum technology as well. Luxembourg’s government coordinates the (LuxQCI) (Quantum Communications Infrastructure) project, and the consortium will design a satellite and the terrestrial network for it.
LuxQCI will use quantum mechanics to allocate encryption keys, which will be more secure than the networks that presently encrypt the majority of the world’s communications. Its goal is to protect the communications networks surrounding financial transactions, confidential data, power grids, and

Video above: CNN interviews people in Afghanistan who can't leave As reports of harassment and beatings at Taliban checkpoints continued to surface Wednesday, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul warned it could not ensure safe passage for Americans to the airport to escape Afghanistan, despite the Pentagon underscoring alleged Taliban assurances that it will ensure safe transit.Wednesday's alert from the diplomatic outpost, which has been relocated to the airport, stood in contrast to statements made by White House and Pentagon officials about the ability of civilians to access the airport to board evacuation flights out of the country.The apparent disconnect on public messaging among the Biden administration's senior national security staff underscores the chaotic and rushed nature of the evacuation effort, which has been gaining steam in the past few days but still faces enormous logistical and security challenges."The United States government cannot ensure safe passage to the Hamid Karzai International Airport," the U.S. Embassy in Kabul advised American citizens.Related video: United Nations chief urges united front against TalibanA few hours later, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told reporters at the State Department that "it appears the Taliban's commitment for safe passage for American citizens has been solid" but that "we have seen reports that the Taliban, contrary to their public statements and their commitments to our government, are blocking Afghans who wish to leave the country from reaching the airport."But in a news briefing at the Pentagon that started while State was still briefing, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told reporters that "through the State Department, the Taliban are guaranteeing safe passage to the airport for American citizens, that is, U.S. passport holders," Milley said.The State Department message about transit to the airport also stands in stark contrast to comments made by national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Tuesday, when he told reporters at the White House that the Taliban had committed to allowing safe passage for civilians to the airport.US has surged personnel to airportThe U.S. has surged diplomatic and military personnel into Hamid Karzai International Airport, transforming the country's sole international airport into a massive military bunker where U.S. personnel fired shots around the perimeter to control crowds Wednesday.Both Sherman and Milley said Biden administration officials have directly told the Taliban that the U.S. expects them to clear the way for people to reach the airport. Sherman said the State Department's team in Doha, Qatar, which is meeting with Taliban officials, and "our military partners on the ground in Kabul are engaging directly with the Taliban to make clear that we expect them to allow all American citizens, all third country nationals and all Afghans who wish to leave to do so safely and without harassment."Referring to the Taliban's checkpoints, Milley said, "We have gone back and emphasized that, that people who are trying to get to the airport, have the right credentials, need to be allowed through."Milley said that if directed, U.S. military in Kabul have the ability to extract Americans and take them to Hamid Karzai International Airport when asked by CNN's Barbara Starr.Starr asked Milley if "international special forces there ... have the capability to extract" Americans and take them to the airport. In response, Milley said, "That would be a policy decision, and, if directed, we have capabilities to execute whatever we're directed."Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin clarified that "we don't have the capability to go out and collect the large numbers of people," adding that he would "draw a distinction between extracting someone in an extreme condition or circumstance versus going out and collecting up large numbers of American citizens."Pressed on the issue, Austin said, "We're going to do everything we can to continue to try to deconflict and create passageways for them to get to the airfield." But again, he said the U.S. military does not have the capability to "extend operations currently into Kabul."

Related video above: Breakthrough cases of COVID-19 in Wisconsin more than doubleThree senators said Thursday they have tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated, a high-profile collection of breakthrough cases that comes as the highly infectious delta variant spreads rapidly across the United States.Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., all said they have tested positive for the virus. Almost every member of the Senate spent long hours together on the chamber's floor last week in an all-night session of budget votes before leaving town for August recess. King said he began feeling feverish Wednesday and took a COVID-19 test at his doctor's suggestion. "While I am not feeling great, I'm definitely feeling much better than I would have without the vaccine," King said. Wicker's office said he tested positive for the virus Thursday morning."Senator Wicker is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, is in good health, and is being treated by his Tupelo-based physician," a statement from his staff read. "He is isolating, and everyone with whom Senator Wicker has come in close contact recently has been notified."Hickenlooper announced his positive test a few hours later. "I feel good but will isolate per docs instructions. I'm grateful for the vaccine (& the scientists behind it!) for limiting my symptoms," Hickenlooper tweeted. "If you haven't gotten your shot—get it today! And a booster when it's available too!"The breakthrough cases emerged the day after U.S. health officials announced plans to dispense COVID-19 booster shots to Americans. They said the shots are needed to shore up their protection against the delta variant amid signs that the vaccines' effectiveness is waning over time.Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. had announced Aug. 2 that he had tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated. "Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to my good friends and colleagues," he tweeted Thursday."If you have not already done so please #GetVaccinated," Graham added.Dozens of members of Congress have reported testing positive for COVID-19. Rep. Ron Wright, R-Texas, 67, died from the disease early this year while Rep.-elect Luke Letlow, R-La., 41, died in December before being sworn into office. d

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — DeWanna Bonner scored a season-high 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Connecticut Sun beat the Minnesota Lynx 82-71 on Thursday night.

Jonquel Jones added 20 points and seven rebounds for Connecticut (17-6) despite being in foul trouble. The Sun turned it over 17 times but outrebounded the Lynx 31-23.
Sylvia Fowles led Minnesota (13-9) with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Layshia Clarendon added 15 points and Napheesa Collier scored 11.
Connecticut continues its five-game homestand on Tuesday against Las Vegas in a battle for sole possession of first place. Minnesota lost back-to-back games against Connecticut following an eight-game winning streak.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts says he’s feeling “really, really good” and is eager to return soon to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup from a stint on the injured list with right hip inflammation.
The All-Star outfielder has been on the IL since Aug. 8. He was diagnosed with a bone spur in his hip and recently received a second cortisone injection.
“It's the first time I've felt normal in a long time,” Betts said Thursday after a workout on the field before the Dodgers hosted the New York Mets. “There's no pain at all. Hopefully, I can stay on this path.”
Betts said his hip had been bothering him since the start of spring training in February. He described the pain as being so intense that it “locked me up pretty good.”
“I hope it just can get through the season and let it heal and not have to worry about it anymore,” he said.
Manager Dave Roberts said Betts could potentially return as early as next week. The Dodgers visit NL West rival San Diego for a three-game series starting Tuesday and return home next Friday to host Colorado. Roberts said Betts would decide whether or not he needs a rehab assignment first.
“Maybe just a couple at-bats and we'll go from there,” Betts said. “I would like to at least get hot, then cool off, then get hot and get back running around just to make sure. I don’t want to go out there and have to come out of the game.”

Tucson police say charges are pending against the impaired driver of a vehicle that hit a pedestrian in a convenience store parking lot who later died from his injuries.
Police identified the victim of Tuesday night's collision at a Circle K on East Grant Road as 29-year-old David Lamberto.
An initial investigation determined that Lamberto had been sitting, squatting and acting erratically in the parking lot before he was struck at about 8:30 p.m., police said in a statement Thursday.
The blue 2007 Ford 500 hit him when it turned into the parking lot and proceeded to drag him as it pulled into a parking lot.
Lamberto was taken to Banner University Medical Center where he later died.
Police at the scene determined the driver was impaired at the time, police said.
Investigators say the driver's impairment and the pedestrian's erratic behavior are major contributing factors in the collision.
The driver's name has not been released.
“The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending at this time,” police said Thursday.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Law enforcement officials have completed their investigation into whether a U.S. Senate candidate and former State of Alaska official illegally obtained a fishing license for a sportfishing event two years ago and turned it over to a special prosecutorial branch of the Department of Law, an official said Thursday.
Kelly Tshibaka, a former commissioner in the state Department of Administration and a Republican candidate for Senate, received the license during an event on the Kenai River in 2019.
Records show she received the permit in August 2019, eight months after she moved to Alaska to take the commissioner’s job, the Anchorage Daily News has reported. To obtain a resident fishing license, state law says the person must have lived in the state for 12 consecutive months before applying for a license.
Tshibaka signed the license application, acknowledging she had read the rules for residency. She also indicated on the license that she was a resident for 15 years, 8 months.
A person could be fined up to $300 for knowingly violating the law on fishing licenses, a misdemeanor.
“After a thorough investigation by the Alaska Wildlife Troopers into the media reports regarding Mrs. Tshibaka the investigation has been completed and will now be reviewed by the Alaska Department of Law’s Office of Special Prosecutions,” Department of Public Safety spokesperson Austin McDaniel said in an email to The Associated Press.
When asked if it were unusual to involve the special office, he said in a follow-up email that law enforcement regularly works with prosecutors when building cases.
“Due to the circumstances involved with this investigation, the Alaska Wildlife Troopers requested an independent review of the case by the legal experts at the Alaska Department of Law,” McDaniel said.
Tim Murtaugh, a senior adviser to Tshibaka’s campaign, said she attended the 2019 Kenai River Classic in her capacity as commissioner.
He said her confirmation hearings were public and it was well-known she had just returned to the state.
“The event organizers asked if she had a current fishing license, and when she said she didn’t, they issued her one,” Murtaugh said in an email to the AP.
“The form was filled in for a license that expired after one day, going from August 22nd to the 23rd, which is only available to non-residents. This shows clear intent to purchase a non-resident license, not a resident license,” he said.
Tshibaka announced her resignation from the state on March 29, the same day she said she would challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Murkowski, who was critical of former President Donald Trump, was censured by the Alaska Republican Party, which later endorsed Tshibaka in the race. Trump also has endorsed Tshibaka.
Murkowski has not announced whether she will seek reelection next year. However, last month Kevin Sweeney, a consultant to Murkowski’s campaign, said she had raised about $1.15 million in the second quarter of this year and had $2.3 million on hand.
That, Sweeney said, “strongly positions” Murkowski for a reelection bid.
Murkowski on Monday declined to discuss reelection plans.

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Friday:
___
WHAT WILL SHOHEI DO NEXT?
The Shohei Ohtani road show heads to Cleveland after the two-way superstar thrilled opposing crowds in Detroit.
Ohtani’s Los Angeles Angels — whose playoff chances are slim at one game over .500 — will play two games at the Indians' home ballpark before both teams head to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for the Little League Classic on Sunday night.
After that, LA travels to Baltimore for a three-game series against the major league-worst Orioles that’s expected to include Ohtani’s next mound start — perhaps a rare opportunity for Baltimore fans to feel some buzz.
Against Detroit, Ohtani had his longest mound start of the season, winning his fourth consecutive start with an eight-inning performance on Wednesday night. He also hit a towering, 430-foot homer — his major league-leading 40th of the season — that Tigers fans waiting for Miguel Cabrera to hit No. 500 couldn't help but admire.
Ohtani followed it up with a 2-for-3 day as the Angels rallied from an eight-run deficit to beat the Tigers on Thursday.
OPTIMISM IN HOUSTON
Astros manager Dusty Baker has reasons to feel good about his AL West-leading club even after an uninspired seven-game trip.
Houston went 3-4 on the road against the Angels and Royals and begins a weeklong homestand on Friday by hosting division rival Seattle. The Astros lead Oakland by 2 1/2 games, which hasn't escaped Baker's notice.
“I’ve been scoreboard watching every day,” Baker said. “Scoreboard watching is something I do between innings when I’m not thinking about what to do. We’re just looking forward to the finish line. We have a ways to go, and we haven’t played our best ball yet.”
One thing that's making Baker sanguine about the future is having Aledmys Díaz in the lineup. Díaz went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, including the go-ahead single in the 10th inning of a 6-3 win at Kansas City on Thursday.
“You can tell what (Díaz) means to this club (by looking at) the six weeks he was out,” Baker said.
SUB-BASEMENT
The major league-worst Baltimore Orioles haven't even come within two runs of a win in the past week.
The Orioles dropped their 15th straight game on Thursday, falling 7-2 to the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. And most of them haven't been close.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Orioles are the first team since 1900 to lose 15 straight games by multiple runs. The closest Baltimore got was a 6-4 loss to Detroit on Aug. 12.
The Orioles have been outscored 138-42 during the skid, allowing an average of 9.2 runs per game.
After dropping four at Tampa Bay by scores of 9-2, 10-0, 8-4 and 7-2, Baltimore hosts another first-place team for a three-game series this weekend: NL-East winning Atlanta.
The Arizona Diamondbacks had the worst record in the majors for much of the season, but Baltimore now owns that distinction. Arizona is coming off a three-game sweep of Philadelphia and has won six of seven overall.
OCTOBER PREVIEW
Brandon Lowe knows this weekend may not be the last time the Rays face the Chicago White Sox in 2021.
The AL Central leaders visit the AL East leaders for a three-game series starting Friday.
“This is going to be kind of what we’re looking at postseason-wise, I feel like,” Lowe said. “You know the White Sox are going to make it, we feel like we’re going to make it. I think the games are going to be a little bit tougher, it’s going to be a little bit lower-scoring ballgames but it’s going to be a hard-fought battle for the whole series.”
Tampa Bay has won 11 of 14, and perhaps a playoff preview could lure a few more fans to Tropicana Field. In their four-game sweep of Baltimore, the Rays drew a total of 22,754 paying customers — an average of 5,689 per game.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Seattle Storm are heading to the White House to celebrate their 2020 WNBA championship.
The team was formally invited by President Joe Biden to visit Monday afternoon. The Storm play at the Washington Mystics on Sunday.
“I think for a very long time, up until 2016, going to the White House was an honor. It wasn't necessarily political. It was to meet the president of the United States. The person who holds that office acknowledging your team's success,” said Seattle guard Sue Bird, who will be making her third trip to meet a president. “It was an incredible honor. Even when you watch a movie like ‘Forrest Gump,’ I'm dating myself a little bit, you understand in that movie what an incredible honor it was. It wasn't political. I think that all shifted in 2016.”
With former president Donald Trump out of office, Bird said she was happy to be going back. Many WNBA players including Bird have been outspoken in their embrace of social justice movements such as Black Lives Matter, which Trump characterized as violent, radical ideology. Trump was also critical of Bird's fiancee, U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe.
“Now that it's back in a place where it's considered an honor and you're recognized by the highest office in the country is exciting, it's fun,” Bird said. “It's not just about meeting the president or hopefully the vice president is there. It's about the whole experience of being in the White House. Having a day that's about your team and celebrating what you've accomplished.”
In addition to her two previous White House visits, Bird has been invited three other times after winning championships — once with UConn and twice with the Storm — but couldn't attend.
The Storm, who have won four titles, will be joined by the team's ownership group and WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. The team last visited the White House in 2011.
No NBA or WNBA team has visited the White House since the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 — Barack Obama's last year in office.

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Two teenagers were facing murder charges for a street-racing crash that killed three people and critically injured a fourth in a Los Angeles suburb, authorities said Thursday.
Hamlet Aghajanyan, 19, of Burbank and a 17-year-old boy were taken into custody Thursday, police said.
Aghajanyan has been charged by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office with three counts of murder and one count of reckless driving, Burbank police said in a statement. He remained jailed on a $6 million bond.
The other youth, whose name wasn't released, was at a juvenile detention facility and prosecutors will determine whether to charge him with murder and reckless driving, police said.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the two had legal representation.
Authorities contend that Aghajanyan was driving a Kia and racing the other boy's Mercedes-Benz on Aug. 3 in Burbank when the Kia broad-sided a Volkswagen that was trying to make a turn.
The impact tore the Volkswagen in half and flung three people from the car. Killed at the scene were Jaiden Johnson, 20, of Burbank; Natalee Moghaddam, 19, of Calabasas and Cerain Baker, 21, the son of actor and comedian Tony Baker.
A fourth person in the car was hospitalized with critical injuries.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The former school resource officer accused of hiding during a South Florida school shooting that left 17 people dead will have to convince a jury that he wasn't criminally negligent, a judge ruled Thursday.
Broward Circuit Judge Martin Fein declined to dismiss the child negligence charges against former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson, the Sun Sentinel reported.
Peterson, 58, had worked as a school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Nikolas Cruz, who was 19 at the time of the February 2018 shooting, has been charged with 17 counts of first-degree murder.
Prosecutors have said that Peterson failed to come to the rescue as Cruz was making his way through the school’s hallways. The law that Peterson is accused of breaking specifically applies to caregivers, but defense attorneys argued during a hearing Wednesday that a law enforcement officer doesn’t fit the legal definition of a caregiver.
Prosecutors are arguing that school resources officers are inherently different from other law enforcement officers and should be considered caregivers.
Fein ruled that a jury can decide whether a school resource officer should be considered a caregiver and noted that a jury instruction will be included to that effect.
Cruz faces the death penalty if convicted in the Valentine’s Day 2018 massacre in which 17 people were slain and 17 others were wounded. Cruz’s lawyers have said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life prison sentence, but prosecutors are insisting that his fate be decided by a jury trial.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The former fiancee of Larry Elder said Thursday that the...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The former fiancee of Larry Elder said Thursday that the conservative radio talk show host now running for governor in California showed her a gun during a heated argument in 2015.
Elder, widely seen as the leader in the Republican field running to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in next month's recall election, issued a statement saying “I have never brandished a gun at anyone." Elder, who is seeking to become California's first Black governor, noted that he grew up in South Los Angeles, an area with high violent crime.
“I know exactly how destructive this type of behavior is,” he said.
Alexandra Datig's accusation, first reported by Politico, comes with less than four weeks until the Sept. 14 election and at a time when mail-in ballots already have arrived at voters' homes. Elder said he intended to “stay focused on the issues” that inspired the recall drive by Republicans upset with Newsom's progressive policies and handling of the pandemic.
Datig, 51 and a longtime Los Angeles resident, said she worked on Elder's show and they lived together during their 18-month romantic relationship from 2013 to 2015,. A letter and other records provided by Datig to The Associated Press – including an April 6, 2015, email in which she wrote about the collapse of their engagement — sketched a portrait of an emotionally abusive relationship in which Elder routinely was using medicinal marijuana to excess.
Datig claims Elder was high during the 2015 argument and went to a cabinet where he kept his gun “and made sure it was in my view.”
“He did not point it at me, but he wanted to make sure that I knew that he was checking" to see it was loaded, she told the AP.
Threatening another person with a firearm could be a criminal offense but Datig said she never reported it to police.
Elder did not specifically address that claim about cannabis use in questions submitted to his campaign by AP. His statement in response to Datig’s claims of abuse referred broadly to “salacious allegations.”
“People do not get into public life precisely because of this type of politics of personal destruction. I am not going to dignify this with a response — it’s beneath me,” Elder wrote. A short time later he tweeted: “They’re coming at me with every dirty trick because they know what’s coming on September 14."
Datig supports one of Elder’s Republican rivals, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Earlier this week Faulconer began targeting Elder for criticism and specifically questioning his attitudes about women, noting among other things that Elder had written that employers should be able to ask women if and when they plan to get pregnant.
“Larry Elder doesn’t have the judgment or character to lead our state,” Faulconer said in response to Datig’s allegations.
Another Republican in the race, state Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, said in a statement that he found Datig's claims disturbing.
“I believe that any woman who comes forward deserves to be heard, and Ms. Datig’s deeply troubling account should be treated with the utmost seriousness. Mr. Elder should be given every opportunity to respond,” he said.
Elder entered the race in July and Datig said she waited until now to come forward because she initially didn't think he would be competitive.
“I didn’t take it seriously but when Larry started to trend and become the frontrunner, I became extremely concerned,” she said.
The documents provided by Datig described months of emotional distress from the unraveling romantic and business relationship. “I feel trapped and afraid,” she wrote in the mail.
Datig also provided the AP with a copy of a confidentiality agreement she signed in 2014 barring her from speaking about the “personal and business affairs” of Elder and his business, Laurence A. Elder & Associates, Inc. She said she was breaking it to go public with her accusations.
A March 31, 2015, letter from her attorney to Elder asked for $6,000 in monthly support for Datig for one year, to cover expenses including rent, car and health care costs. She also asked for $195,000 for public relations, marketing and other services she said she provided for his show.
The two ultimately signed an agreement on April 13, 2015, for Elder to pay Datig $20,000 and cover the cost of her $5,000 legal retainer and $185 to dry clean her wedding dress. Elder agreed he and his assistant would sign a nondisclosure agreement regarding anything to do with Datig, that he would write her a letter of recommendation for her work product, and that they two would “halt mutual insults."
Datig refers to herself as a sex trafficking survivor and has publicly disclosed working for so-called former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, who was convicted in the mid-1990s of running a high-priced call-girl ring, a conviction that was later overturned. Fleiss was later sentenced to federal prison for cheating on her taxes and laundering call-girl profits. In a 2013 interview with KCAL-TV, Datig described becoming an informant on Fleiss.

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns spoke with Ariel Helwani for BT Sport this week, to promote Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam main event against John Cena. Reigns took a shot at former WWE Champion CM Punk during the interview.
Helwani mentioned how Punk and other people have talked in the past about part-time Superstars returning to WWE to get main event spots. He asked Reigns how he feels about this, seeing as how he is a full-time performer and Cena is returning to face him in the SummerSlam main event, when we don’t exactly know what Cena has planned for his WWE future. Helwani asked Reigns if he’s OK with that sort of arrangement.
Reigns responded and talked about how it benefits him being in the ring with a big name like Cena, but he also took a shot at Punk about how over Punk really was.
“I can see it from both perspectives,” Reigns responded. “But I think you said it before, that ‘high tide raises all the boats’ and everybody benefits. So I do think there’s that strange threshold, but I think those statements are coming from bitter people who possibly thought they were better than they really were. When it comes down to it, CM Punk was not as good or as over as a John Cena, wasn’t as good or as over or moved the needle like The Rock. It just was what it was.
“From a full-time performer, I understand the frustration and wanting more, but like I said before, you gotta take it. I’m a full-time performer but I’ve done everything that needs to be done to stay in this position, to be in this position, to continue to make the opportunity for myself to be in a man event at SummerSlam against a John Cena. If anybody ever comes along to try to push me out of that scenario, I’m going to fight like hell to keep the ground that I’ve made. It’s just one of those debatable… we can go back and forth, and we can change our perspective, if you’re one of those types of people who can see it in a different set of eyes, but I really think if more eye-balls are being brought to our product, and of course it depends on who it is, but a guy like a John Cena, who is starring in multiple movies this summer, and when it comes down to it, earns the right, and he’s at that portion of his career where if he is a part-time performer, I’m not going to complain. I’m just going to capitalize on him being here, and everything that he brings with that, and that’s my goal, that’s the whole gimmick to me, is this is John Cena… why wouldn’t I want to be in the ring, why wouldn’t I want him to come at me? You know what I mean? This is the biggest movie star of the summer right now, why would I… and he came to me, he came to The Head of The Table, he came to Roman Reigns. He wanted to be in the ring with me, and I’m not going to complain about that.”
Reigns continued, “But I think other people who think they should have more or be more, and aren’t willing to actually do it, they’re going to have a different explanation than what I just did.”
Punk is expected to make his AEW debut this Friday night during Rampage from the United Center in Chicago.
Stay tuned for more from Reigns. Below is a clip from the interview with Helwani:

NXT UK champion WALTER recently spoke with Inside the Ropes about all things pro-wrestling, most notably the Survivor Series 2019 pay per view and how he feels about his one pinfall loss in WWE. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
How he doesn’t like large multi-man tag team matches:
“First of all I’ve said it before I’m like a basic wrestling guy, I like a one-on-one or I like a tag match or a six-man tag. But I don’t like three ways and I especially don’t like three ways when it’s a team of five on each side. That’s first of all, those circumstances aren’t very enjoyable for me.”
Says he was happy with the tremendous reaction he received by the main roster crowd:
“In regards of the match, it was what it was but I think people still talk about it so it’s still memorable and the reactions I got from let’s say the main roster audience was like even though I was in front of them for the first time were very positive in my direction and that stayed in the heads of a lot of people.”
Says he doesn’t think the pinfall loss hurt him, nor does he have any ill feelings towards WWE about it:
“So I don’t think it hurt me at all because it didn’t change me or didn’t change who I am. I don’t know, I wasn’t bitter about anything like that. I watched Survivor Series as a kid many, many times and if I never make it back I at least was in Survivor Series once so that’s something to be happy about. But no, at the end of the day it is what it is and there are no ill feelings towards it.”

Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Billie Kay (Jessica McKay) and Peyton Royce (Cassie Lee) are reportedly active in the pro wrestling free agent market.
There is no word on where the tag team formerly known as The IIconics will end up, but Fightful Select reports that they have both had interest from Impact Wrestling. However, it does not appear that a deal is being made with Impact.
Kay and Royce also reportedly have interest from a new pro wrestling program that is scheduled to launch in the fall.
Kay and Royce will both require Visas to remain in the United States, and word is that this would not be an issue for either company.
The IIconics were released from their WWE contracts on April 15.
Stay tuned for more.

WWE and Major League Baseball have announced a new multi-year partnership to release MLB-inspired WWE Title replica belts and accessories.
The belts and accessories will feature the logos of all 30 MLB teams from around North America. The line will launch in 2022.
WWE touted how this is the first official licensing agreement for WWE Title replica belts between the company and one of the major United States sports leagues.
The new deal will see WWE and MLB collaborate to design and manufacture team-branded replica titles, and replica titles that celebrate some of MLB’s Jewel Events such as the World Series, the All-Star Game, and the Home Run Derby. There will also be custom side plates and unique Lucha Libre masks.
“At MLB we are constantly looking to serve our fans with the most unique products possible so that they can support their favorite Clubs and players in the ways they want,” said Denis Nolan, MLB Senior Vice President, Global Consumer Products. “We often see baseball fans and players bringing their MLB and WWE fandom together at games and online, so this is a natural development for us to work together and offer the highest quality, official co-branded items for fans around the world.”
WWE Senior Vice President of Direct-To-Consumer Products Kevin Moore added, “We’ve been continually amazed by the reaction to custom WWE Championship title belts, and we’re excited this partnership will allow us to make them widely available to fans.”
WWE has had a tradition of sending custom title belts to top athletes and championship sports teams, but this marks the first time these items will be available for fans. WWE created a custom title for the Los Angeles Dodgers to celebrate their 2020 World Series win, and did the same for the Washington Nationals in 2019.

WWE reportedly tried to land popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion for SummerSlam.
WWE recently publicized how Megan met with SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair at the Lollapalooza music festival earlier this month. Now Fightful Select reports that WWE wanted Megan to work an angle with Belair at Saturday’s pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
Belair is set to defend her title against Sasha Banks at SummerSlam this weekend. WWE reportedly wanted Megan to appear at the pay-per-view for a spot with Belair, but things did not work out and she will not be appearing.
It was noted that WWE thought Megan working SummerSlam was a done deal at one point, but they were informed last weekend that she would not be appearing. There’s no word yet on why the deal didn’t work out.
Belair spoke with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes back in July and said she wanted to team up with Stallion, among others.
“I would love to work with Megan Thee Stallion, City Girls, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj—I’m in love with Nicki Minaj—a few of these people are actually going to be there, so maybe I can go talk to them and see if we can have a tag team or partnership in the future,” she said.
As we’ve noted, WWE wanted rapper Cardi B, who has worked with Megan, to host SummerSlam. WWE is still using her “Up” single as the SummerSlam theme song. You can click here for news on why she is not working the event. You can click here for news on WWE trying to get Celebrity Hall of Famer Mike Tyson to narrate a SummerSlam opening video package.

The former Inkster home of civil rights activist Malcolm X is being restored into a museum.

A house where Malcolm Little lived in Inkster before he was known by the world as Malcolm X will be preserved.
Related: Civil rights activist to be inducted into Michigan Women's Hall of Fame
A group called Project We Hope, Dream and Believe has fought for years to make the former home of the civil rights leader a landmark.
"It’s been 13 years of fighting," said Aaron Sims, the executive director of the organization. "We can say the fight is finally over to restore the Malcolm X house."
Those with Project Hope, Dream and Believe say that the house on Williams Street is where it all began for the activist in early 1952.
"We didn’t know the house still existed or not so we pulled up the FBI file and in the FBI file it said, 'Malcolm Little, 4336 William St.," Sims said.
After the group confirmed it was his house, they were motivated to bring new life to it.
"We want to also thank the National Park Service and we want to thank the Historical Preservation Fund for providing us with a $380,850 grant to preserve, renovate, and transition the former home that Malcolm lived in into a museum dedicated to his life and contributions," said Dr. Tareq Ramadan, the research manager and grant writer for Project We Hope, Dream and Believe.
Because Malcolm X was an advocate for empowerment, the organization believes the renovation should also include a space that helps to empower others. There will be a community center and garden.
Work is expected to be completed in 2023.

Evidence of COVID-19 antibodies were found in 40% of white-tailed deer samples taken from Illinois, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.

A recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) found evidence of COVID-19 exposure in white-tailed deer in four different states.
Of the 385 samples that were collected, 40% came back positive for COVID-19 antibodies, according to the study.
"Antibodies are the result of an immune response to infection with a pathogen, and their presence does not necessarily suggest a current infection. The tests used to analyze the deer serum samples in this study can only detect antibodies, not the virus itself," the USDA specified.
Samples were taken between Jan. 2020 and March 2021 from animals found in Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania, according to the USDA.

The study also noted that it is not known how the deer were exposed to COVID-19 and that human-to-deer transmission and vice versa were not unlikely, but the chances were low, according to the USDA.
"It’s possible they were exposed through people, the environment, other deer, or another animal species," the USDA said.
"There is no evidence that animals, including deer, are playing a significant role in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 to people," the USDA added.
Researchers also noted that there is no evidence that deer potentially infected with COVID-19 can pass on the virus to any animals or humans that consume its meat.
RELATED: ZooTampa may begin vaccinating animals against COVID-19 this summer or fall
Further study is needed to understand "how zoonotic pathogen spillback into novel wildlife reservoirs may affect pathogen adaptation, evolution, and transmission" of deadly viruses such as COVID-19, researchers said.
"Future wildlife surveillance should incorporate methods specifically designed to detect, isolate, and genetically characterize SARS-CoV-2 and to identify potential variants, as well as other endemic coronaviruses," the study concluded.
In a separate previous study conducted in Aug. 2020, scientists found that white-tailed deer were among a number of animals at high risk for contacting COVID-19.
"We identified a large number of mammals that can potentially be infected by SARS-CoV-2 via their ACE2 proteins. This can assist the identification of intermediate hosts for SARS-CoV-2 and hence reduce the opportunity for a future outbreak of COVID-19," the researchers stated in the study.
RELATED: COVID vaccine for zoo animals in Wisconsin
The team from the University of California, Davis analyzed and predicted the ability of the novel coronavirus to bind to the animals’ ACE2 receptors in the 410 vertebrate species including 252 mammals, 72 birds, 65 fish, four amphibians and 17 reptiles, according to the study.
"Only mammals fell into the medium to very high categories and only catarrhine primates into the very high category, suggesting that they are at high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection," the study authors said in the published report. Catarrhine primates typically include orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees.
Some of the animals found to be in the high-risk group included reindeer, white-tailed deer, Pacific white dolphins, beluga whales, chimpanzees, Western lowland gorillas and Rhesus macaques.
Cats, goats, sheep and cattle, meanwhile, were found to be the medium-risk group that included 57 species, while dogs, horses and pigs were among the 40 species considered to be in the low-risk category, according to the study.

St. Joseph coach Pepe Villaseñor is 22-7 in his first three seasons with the Knights and hasn’t lost a league game, going 12-0 in the process.
|
https%3A%2F%2Flompocrecord.com%2Fsports%2Flocal%2Ffootball-st-josephs-rise-to-the-top-continues%2Farticle_d5e3b814-5aab-5e8c-9a96-6c5c79a9154e.html.json

The football program at St. Joseph has been on the rise since coach Pepe Villaseñor arrived on campus three seasons ago.
Villaseñor is 22-7 in his first three seasons with the Knights and hasn’t lost a league game, going 12-0 in the process.
It doesn’t appear that the rise is stopping any time soon.
The Knights are riding a wave of momentum into the 2021 fall season coming off a dominant 5-0 spring campaign.
They hit the road Friday night to kick off their season with a game at Covina Charter Oak. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.
Abundance of QBs
St. Joseph is quite strong at a number of positions, but they’ve got talent stacked up at quarterback. Caden Cuccia, a sophomore, is the incumbent after starting three games as a freshman.
Darian Mensah, a San Luis Obispo transfer, is the backup and will play some receiver. Mensah is 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds. Mark Crisp started at the beginning of the spring season but tore his ACL in March and hopes to be back by October, though he may fill in at another position.
“We have several quarterbacks and they’re going to compete each and every day,” Villaseñor said at a preseason practice. “Right now, Caden is the starter. We’re certainly excited about Mark (Crisp) coming back in the next few months. You’ll probably see him at several positions.”
2021 schedule: St. Joseph Aug. 20: @Charter Oak Aug. 27: @Frontier Sept. 10: @Centennial Sept. 17: vs. Santa Teresa Sept. 24: vs. St. Margaret's Oct. 1: @Arroyo Grande* Oct. 8: vs. Paso Robles* Oct. 14: @Nipomo* Oct. 22: @Pioneer Valley* Oct. 29: vs. Righetti* All games at 7 p.m. * - Mountain League games
New RB rotation
The biggest hole to fill for the Knights may be running back as they lost both starters to graduation in Brett Burress and Darien Langley.
Villaseñor said that the Knights will employ a committee at running back.
“We have Anthony Moreno, who’s one of our captains,” Villaseñor said. “He’s also playing inside ‘backer. Malakai Langley, who’s definitely electric. Isaiah Maycotte is consistent.”
Villaseñor said Aaron Fierro has a similar power running style to Burress and will get some carries. Brice Pavlich will also get some touches out of the backfield.
The offensive line looks very strong with standout Makai Sat back at tackle.
"Makai is definitely the anchor to the offensive line," Villaseñor said. "We do have some young guys there."
Aaron Guggia is also a returning three-year starter on the offensive line.
Royal leads WRs
Travis Royal is the top returning receiver and is poised for a big season. Villaseñor was a standout receiver himself at St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura and Royal says some of the coach’s teachings have rubbed off on him.
“I’d say, since I got here, I’m probably about five times better than before,” Royal said. “Just due to the knowledge that he holds and gives to me.”
Royal says he’s elated with the quarterback potential the Knights have this season.
“I have two or three guys back there that I can trust when I run my routes and they can trust me,” Royal said. “It’s just really nice to know that we are going to have someone that we can rely on no matter what.”
Royal says he expects Righetti transfer Chris Miller to alleviate some pressure at wide receiver and earn some targets, adding that Collin Fasse and Oscar Magallon will help the offense.
“We’ll be able to spread the ball around,” Royal said. “We don’t have to force the ball anywhere, we can just go where the defense dictates.”
Better as season goes along
St. Joseph should be strong to start its season but don’t be surprised if they’re much better towards the end of it. That’s mainly due to a number of players that will become eligible after serving a CIF-mandated sit-out period.
Righetti transfer Joaquin Cuevas, who started at quarterback for the Warriors, is slated to play at safety this year, but won’t be eligible until Sept. 22. Hayden Steven, Erwin Taomi, Vince Vargas and Jason Vargas are also cleared to return by Sept. 22, according to the CIF Central Section’s transfer portal.
Miller, the other Righetti transfer, was hoping to be eligible at the start of the season, though his status was not known at press time. Miller had a big season at free safety and running back for Righetti in the spring before transferring to St. Joseph for his senior season.
Taomi, a native of Alaska, is 6-foot-3 and about 380 pounds and will likely be a force on the defensive line once he’s cleared to play.
Villaseñor said Mensah is cleared to start the season Friday.
Moreno ready to make impact
Anthony Moreno had a sneaky good junior season in the spring and is back, with Villaseñor saying he’ll see more time at running back this fall while also starting at linebacker.
Moreno notes the Knights are losing two big-time players on that defense in Tyler Williams, who’s now at UTEP, and Jayce Gamble, who’s walking on at Sacramento State.
“We don’t have Tyler or Jayce or a guy like Sebastian Ramirez, but Malakai Langley is stepping up at corner, Carter Vargas at safety,” Moreno said. “Those two are young sophomores that kill it every single day. Erick Santillan, my other inside linebacker, has been working hard all offseason. He’s been working his butt off all offseason.
“I think we’re going to be the top defense on the Central Coast this year.”
St. Joseph allowed just 20 points in five games last spring.
Moreno also expects big things out of Marky Pullman and Jorge Hernandez on the defensive line.
Moreno also has some good insight on the St. Joseph offense from his linebacker position.
“They’re just so dynamic. There’s so much they can do,” Moreno said of the SJHS offense. “That offense gives us some trouble sometimes. They have quarterbacks that can run and throw. Malakai has ‘Class A’ speed. Going against it every day makes us better.”
When asked about filling the shoes of a linebacker like Gamble, Moreno says he hopes he’s able to play at that level this fall.
“I hope to be that guy,” Moreno said. “I saw Jayce all over the field when I was at safety, now I’m in his position. I want to have that same kind of presence in the middle. I think I can have that kind of presence.”
New Mountain League
The Knights will face a new league alignment after San Luis Obispo and Templeton both dropped down to the Ocean League and Nipomo and Pioneer Valley were both bumped up.
After playing at Charter Oak Friday, the Knights play at Bakersfield Frontier and at Bakersfield Centennial in non-league games.
They have four home games this year with non-league games against San Jose Santa Teresa and San Juan Capistrano St. Margaret’s, and league games against Paso Robles and Righetti.
What's more interesting is how the playoff format changes this year with CIF Central Section divisions being decided after the regular season is complete.
"We'll play our 10 games and then they'll take your power rankings and at that point in time the top eight will go to Division 1," Villaseñor said. "Then the next 16 will go into Division 2 and so on. We're going to play our best for 10 games and see what happens."
When asked if he liked this new system, Villaseñor said with a smile: "No comment on that."
New Kickers
The Knights will have a new pair of kickers after Brock Marcois graduated. One of those kickers includes girls soccer standout Kailah Lopez.
"I'll tell you right now, it's definitely not a gimmick," Villaseñor said of Lopez. "She does an exceptional job. Her range is good, she does have a strong leg. She puts in the same work as the guys out here do. We do have a long-distance kicker in Dan Melendez and a kickoff guy in Jacob Otremba. And Jonathan Lee is handling the punts. Kids are specializing more today, so we're lucky to get two soccer kids in with Lopez and Otremba."

If I were to create an index of the major areas of study in my life, the topic of sleep, for sure, would be included.
My fascination with the topic may have begun in boyhood, but it grew after college, when I came across a book that contained stories of illustrious figures throughout history who did great things while requiring very little sleep; people like Isaac Newton, Mozart, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, to name a few.
Unlike insomniacs, who also get very little sleep but seem to be miserable in always wanting more, these people were perfectly happy and functioned at a high level with few hours of sleep. They were portrayed like yogis or spiritual adepts who are said to thrive on some other less dense, more enriched source of energy, sometimes called prana, or “life force.”
I wanted to be like them, among the ones who didn’t need sleep because we had this other cosmic restorative source we were drawing from.
It took a while before I fully embraced it as a lifestyle, but once I settled into a more domestic living and working situation, I decided to go for it, and for the next 25 years, I've averaged about 30 hours of sleep a week.
Since I was usually among the more energetic people present in whatever situation I found myself, I figured I must’ve been doing a pretty good job with it. And maybe I was …
All I know is that when the first of the four cataclysmic changes (in five years) was sprung upon us, totally upending our lives, I decided, rather than fret, to plunge fully into what I called my “heart of hearts,” and to trust — in its power to heal and to guide, protect and provide me with what I need, and to keep going and growing and sowing the seeds of faith and friendship, perseverance and positive energy, health and well-being.
And that’s right about when I started sleeping more. I decided that if changes were in store, then sleep might as well be one of them.
I think I suspected that stress and injuries were starting to gnaw away at me, and that my ability to resist and cope with them could be strengthened by sleep, so I started going to bed three or four hours earlier.
Seven years later, I don’t know if I can legitimately testify to the health benefits I’ve gained, but I have come to find out that sleeping sure feels good, especially when it’s good, deep sleep.
Researchers refer to it as SWS, slow-wave sleep, which is the deepest, most restorative stage of sleep, when your body is most relaxed, and your heart rate and breathing are slowest.
For decades now, we’ve been hearing that we don’t get enough of that kind of sleep (due to things like stress, medication, electronics and more), and that the effects of sleep deprivation include weight gain, weakened immune system, trouble thinking and concentrating, loss of short-term and long-term memory, mood changes, poor balance, and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and accidents.
So I sleep to help prevent those effects.
Then, a couple years ago, in response to another of the giant tectonic shifts I mentioned, I took to napping in the afternoon and soon discovered that the siesta may be the deepest, and thus slowest, of all my sleep.
These days, I don’t nap quite as much, but for a while there, I was sleeping and napping, which is how Einstein did it. He slept 10 hours a night and napped throughout the day. Others, like Jefferson, DaVinci and Eleanor Roosevelt were “polyphasaic” sleepers, meaning they slept in several half-hour to two-hour sessions a day.
After staying up all last night reading because I was entranced in a novel, I find myself wondering if, in the same way that we’ve managed to open up the possibilities of working at home, we might not also take another stride toward further independence and well-being by finding ways to accommodate different sleep patterns, whether or not they jive with “normal” business hours or social schedules.

Solvang hotel Hadsten House will temporarily close its doors Sept. 1 for renovations, according to owners, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. The projected reopening date is spring of 2022.
Hotel employees were made aware of the pending closure in June and provided with opportunities to transfer to similar positions at the Chumash Casino Resort Hotel and Hotel Corque, a spokesman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians said.
The 71-room hotel property, which was built in 1972 and purchased by the tribe in 2012, will undergo a complete room and property remodel "aimed at positioning Hadsten House as a highly favorable option in the competitive Solvang hotel market,” according to John Elliott, CEO of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
The remodel plan will include removal of the property’s current indoor swimming pool to allow space for an outdoor courtyard area for use as a centralized gathering spot for both guests and the local community, Elliot said.
The hotel is located at 1450 Mission Drive in Solvang.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned some Covid-19 restrictions will remain in place well into the New Year, but said Ireland is moving into a “new era” of the pandemic.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned some Covid-19 restrictions will remain in place well into the New Year, but said Ireland is moving into a “new era” of the pandemic.
In an interview with the Irish Independent, Mr Martin said the coming months will see less of an emphasis on regulations and more focus on individual responsibility in the next stage in the fight against the virus.
However, he said the Government’s new roadmap for easing the remaining restrictions will cover “quite a number of months” before all social distancing rules are lifted.
“We will definitely go to Christmas and maybe into spring,” he said.
“We will have very high levels of vaccination and the emphasis will be on the basics of social distancing, the personal responsibilities and protecting ourselves sensibly. It will be a less regulatory phase.”
He said social distancing rules will remain in place “in many instances” and requirements to wear masks indoors and on public transport will be around for some time to come.
The Taoiseach was speaking after the Cabinet Committee on Covid-19 agreed to publish a new plan for living with the virus on August 31.
The plan will outline how different sectors can reopen and outline a pathway for allowing workers to return to offices.
“We do understand people want timelines and dates because in the absence of that they feel they’ll never open and they do need to plan,” he said. However, Mr Martin would not give any indication of the dates for when the live entertainment industry could reopen despite serious concerns raised by Arts Minister Catherine Martin.
Ms Martin questioned the Cabinet Committee’s failure to set a date and went as far as encouraging the entrainment sector to lobby her own ministerial colleagues.
She also demanded to sit on the Cabinet Committee. The Taoiseach said he has no problem with the minister attending next week’s meeting to discuss the reopening plan.
Separately, the Taoiseach said he is “frustrated” by the high level of transmission in Ireland despite the country having one of the highest vaccine uptakes in Europe.

Mr Martin said he questioned the National Public Health Emergency Team about this and was told Ireland’s young population and our proximity to Northern Ireland and Britain are factors.
“There are higher levels of Covid in the UK, and there has been consistently, and we are interwoven with Britain and Northern Ireland,” he said.
“If you look at our patterns, it is Monaghan, Cavan and Donegal with the very high levels and the west is higher again and the south east is lower.”
The Taoiseach said the high level of transmission of the Delta variant is especially a concern with the winter months fast approaching.
“We will always have concerns about the winter because it can bring on new variants and it can bring on new viruses. It can pose significant challenges to the health service and that’s why planning is already underway for a winter initiative,” he added.
The Taoiseach said Covid cases have a “disproportionate impact” on the health service and hospitals compared to non-Covid cases.
“We have to be mindful of the impact on the health services so that will always be a metric – we cannot ignore that because it impacts treatment of heart, cancer. You get a lot of delays so that’s a key metric,” he said.
“We can never go back again to putting the huge imposition on frontline staff which happened in January and February. There will be constant monitoring.”
Mr Martin said he expects a booster vaccine programme to be introduced but is waiting for advice from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (Niac) which is due to report in the next ten days.
Niac’s recommendations will clear the way for the HSE to put a plan in place for delivering a booster programme.
The World Health Organisation has urged wealthy countries to hold off on booster programmes until poorer nations can vaccinate their citizens.
However the The Cabinet Committee on Covid-19 agreed to donate more than 300,000 vaccines to less developed countries in the coming weeks.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is devising a plan with Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney to give Ireland’s extra doses to poorer countries.
The first tranche will be around 300,000 doses but this is expected to increase over time.
The National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) will meet next Wednesday to evaluate the current level of transmission of the virus.
The Cabinet Committee on Covid-19 will meet again on Friday, August 28.
Senior officials will work through the plan before a full Cabinet meeting is held to sign off on the roadmap on August 31.

Rock band Nine Inch Nails have cancelled the rest of their performances for the year over Covid-19 fears (James Arnold/PA)
Rock band Nine Inch Nails have cancelled the rest of their performances for the year over Covid-19 fears.
The group, led by Trent Reznor, was supposed to be kicking off a tour with a date in Cleveland, Ohio, next month.
In a statement on their website, Nine Inch Nails said it is not yet safe to return to live performances amid a spike in Covid-19 cases in America.

They said: “It is with great regret that we are cancelling all NIN appearances for the remainder of this year.
“When originally planned, these shows were intended to be a cathartic and celebratory return to live music.
“However, with each passing day it’s becoming more apparent we’re not at that place yet.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment and look forward to seeing you again when the time is right.”
The Grammy-winning industrial rock group, known for the hit song Hurt, are not the first major artists to cancel tour dates due to the virus.
This week country star Garth Brooks axed his remaining stadium tour dates in five cities due to rising Covid-19 cases.
And Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks announced earlier this month she would not be performing as planned for the rest of the year.
New cases of Covid-19 in the US are emerging at their highest rates since winter, with states across the South particularly hard hit.
About 62% of American adults are fully vaccinated, according to official figures.
