"We have got massive challenges along the way and winning games is one of them‚ but making sure that players improve week to week is our biggest task.
The 2020 Democrat presidential candidate says every vote should matter; Griff Jenkins reports.
“Every vote matters and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College,” Warren told an audience at the historically black college Jackson State University in Mississippi.
Warren’s statement on CNN came after an audience member asked the Massachusetts senator about voting rights and so-called voter suppression laws.
Warren said she also supports a new flag for Mississippi, which is the only state to have Confederate imagery on it. The Mississippi state flag’s use of a Confederate battle emblem was legally challenged in 2017, but the Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
GILGIT: With large swathes of cultivated and other land coming under water, floodwaters and landslides blocking several vital roads and thousands of people getting marooned, flooding caused by rapid melting of glaciers has wreaked havoc across Gilgit-Baltistan.
Two people were killed when a family was hit by floodwaters, sources said on Thursday.
Police said that floodwaters from the Gonarforam stream hit a mother, her daughter and her son in the Goharabad valley of Diamer district. The mother and daughter, identified as Shaheen Begum and Zainab, drowned.
Only the daughter’s body had been recovered so far, the sources said. The son, who survived but received injuries in the incident, was shifted to the district headquarters hospital in Chilas.
A woman was killed and her son injured when a suspension bridge collapsed in the Niat valley of Diamer district, sources said. The reason behind the incident could not be ascertained immediately.
Floodwaters from the Gonarforam stream also blocked the Karakoram Highway and inundated large tracks of cultivated land. Traffic between Gilgit-Baltistan and the rest of the country remained suspended as a result.
Flooding and land erosion badly hit the road leading to and from the Hisper valley of Nagar district, thus severing its link with the rest of the country.
Landslides also damaged crops and water channels in the Daskin valley of Astore district.
Floodwaters from rivers and streams blocked link roads, marooning people living in remote parts of Gilgit, Diamer and Baltistan divisions.
Floodwaters continued to pour out of the Batsuwat Nullah in the Ishkoman valley of Ghizer district. The flow of the Immit river has been blocked, creating an artificial lake. The upstream areas remained cut off from the rest of the country for the second day on Thursday. People of ten villages were badly affected as a result.
The deputy commissioner of Ghizer, Shuja Alam, said that because of landslides rescue operations could not be launched in the upstream areas. However, tent villages had been set up in the downstream areas. Food and relief supplies had also been dispatched to those areas.
He said that water was spilling over from the artificial lake, thus reducing the risk of a massive lake burst. A red alert had been issued for the people living in the downstream areas.
“As soon as the flooding and landslides will stop we will be able to access the affected areas,” Mr Alam said.
The artificial lake had inundated an area spanning about two kilometres, submerging more than 30 houses, cattle farms, vehicles and infrastructure, he said.
The local administration was in contact with the people living in the upstream areas, he added.
Meanwhile, Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Hafeezur Rehman has taken notice of the situation.
According to a press release issued by the Chief Minister House, Mr Rehman had directed the disaster management authority and the Ghizer administration to take emergency measures to save people from impending dangers and to provide relief to those already affected by the calamity.
The chief minister instructed the heads of all the departments concerned to immediately launch rescue and relief works.

A District Court judge in Vermont made headlines last week when he ruled that drugs and weapons discovered in a raid on an Island Pond home were inadmissible as evidence because police, though armed with a search warrant, failed to knock and announce their presence before entering.
The ruling came on the heels of a U.S. Supreme Court decision just one month earlier in a similar case, which carried a very different finding. In that 5-4 decision, the high court ruled that evidence discovered in a raid could be used in court despite the fact that police failed to knock and announce first – a long-standing condition to protect people from unreasonable search and seizures.
So what effect will the high court ruling have on the Vermont decision in the Island Pond case or cases like it in the future?

Carl Frampton is to defend his IBF world super-bantamweight title against mandatory challenger Chris Avalos in Belfast in February or March, 2015.
Cyclone Promotions have confirmed that both boxers will attend a press conference next week to announce the date and venue for the contest.
Unbeaten Frampton beat former champion Kiko Martinez on points to secure the title at Titanic Quarter in September.
He suffered hand damage in the process but has recovered to resume training.
Frampton emerged victorious from a gruelling 12-rounder against Martinez to maintain his record of 19 straight wins.
The Odyssey Arena appears to be the likely venue for the fight, with the King's Hall another possibility.
Californian Avalos, 24, stopped Yasutaka Ishimoto in May to become the mandatory challenger and since then he has stopped Jose Cen Torresto to take his career statistics to 25 wins and two losses.
His two defeats have come against Christopher Martin and Jhonatan Romero and his defeat of Ishimoto in China is the only time he has fought outside the United States.
Frampton and his manager Barry McGuigan will hope that a victory would open the door for a unification showdown with WBA champion Scott Quigg next summer.
Dr. Adam Gazzaley, a neurology professor at the University of California, San Francisco, says we can teach ourselves to better exercise cognitive control. According to Gazzaley’s research, individuals who ignore distractions (colleague conversations outside your door or daydreaming, for example) are better able to juggle multiple streams of information without making mistakes.
For important tasks, Gazzaley suggests limiting the number of distractions around you. The next time you’re under a deadline, try shutting your door, silencing your phone, and closing your inbox.
2. Focus on what you can control and ignore the rest.
McGowan spoke with Keith Alvey, a Disaster Division executive for the American Red Cross, who’s helped victims of Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Katrina, and was sent to New York City after September 11th. In a disaster, decades of experience help him to focus his attention on problems he can solve and screen out things he can’t control. For example, after Hurricane Sandy, he couldn’t do anything about flooded subway tunnels, but he could coordinate distributing food and clothing to people who’d lost everything.
Alvey suggests delegating what you can to those with a higher level of expertise, and have them report back with the results. Another way to limit distractions is to not dwell on things. Once a decision’s been made, don’t waste time and energy second-guessing your decision. “There’s no value in saying, ‘I should’ve decided differently.’ I decided the way I should have, based on the information I had,” Alvey told Psychology Today.
Yes, video games. Daphne Bavelier, a cognitive research scientist at the University of Rochester, says those who play video games learn to manage multiple data streams and can track more objects than those who don’t play. For example, someone who plays first-person shooter games like Call of Duty must read instructions, make quick strategic decisions, and concentrate to complete tasks amid many distractions such as whizzing bullets and sound effects.
The good news is you don’t have to spend hours playing video games to reap the benefits. Spending 30 to 60 minutes a day playing video games, five days a week, for 10 to 12 weeks can provide excellent results, Bavelier says.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Cleanup is needed in parts of the Mountain State after high water to start the new work week in parts of northern, central and southeastern West Virginia.
“In general, we had two and a half to three inches of rain fall (in the affected areas),” said Maura Casey, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston.
Evacuations were underway on Monday morning in Marlinton in Pocahontas County which sits on the Greenbrier River.
Residents were initially being moved from homes largely near Knapp Creek.
Marlinton Middle School was designated as an emergency shelter.
“The American Red Cross has been called in,” said Lora Sue Miller, the head cook at Marlinton Middle, a school that’s located about two miles south of Marlinton.
She left home for work at 5:30 a.m. Monday before school was canceled in Pocahontas County for the day due to high water and impassable roads throughout the county.
As of 10 a.m., she could not get home because of the flooding.
“(I am) just going to sit it out and wait. That’s about all I can do,” she said.
In all, public schools were closed Monday in 14 counties for high water. There were individual school closures in three other counties along with school delays in five.
Schools in Tucker County, Randolph County and Hardy County were closing several hours early on Monday due to the potential for flooding as waters continued to rise.
The updated school announcement list is HERE.
By late Monday morning, Casey said the heaviest of the rain had moved out of West Virginia, though there was the potential for additional lighter rain later in the day which was expected to change to snow in some cases.
Flood Warnings from the National Weather Service continued into Monday afternoon in much of northern, central and southeastern West Virginia.
“River and stream gauges are continuing to indicate rising water levels and additional flooding is likely to develop through the morning due to runoff from heavy rainfall overnight,” meteorologists said early on Monday morning.
The Greenbrier River was expected to crest at Buckeye in Pocahontas County about a foot above flood stage at 15 feet and at Marlinton at nearly 12 feet before falling below flood stage by Monday evening.
At areas near ten feet, 1st and 2nd Avenues in Marlinton start to flood.
A crest near 12 feet in Marlinton compares with a previous crest of 12 feet on June 24, 2016.
At Alderson, a flood warning was expected to continue into early Tuesday along the Greenbrier River for a rise that was forecasted to get nearly two feet above flood stage which is 14 feet there.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Va. reported two to four inches of fell across eastern Greenbrier County along with other parts of southeastern West Virginia on Sunday afternoon and evening.
“The combination of the saturated ground from melted snowfall and the heavy rain late Sunday has left creeks, rivers and streams swollen to bankful or higher this morning (Monday),” the NWS said.
Parts of Route 92 were flooded and, at one point, the roadway was closed near Alvon.
In Harrison County, the West Fork River was forecasted to top flood stage at Clarksburg by Monday afternoon.
Travis Jones with MetroNews and WAJR-FM in Clarksburg reported high water damage in Harrison County at both the Bridgeport Athletic Complex’s Wayne Jamison Field along with the new Frank Loria Field at Clarksburg City Park in Nutter Fort.
Along the Little Kanawha River at Glenville in Gilmer County, the water was also expected to get above flood stage at 23 feet by Monday afternoon.
Minor flooding was being reported along the South Branch of the Potomac River, affecting Hampshire County and Hardy County, ahead of a Monday crest.
By late Monday morning, that river level was already falling at Franklin in Pendleton County after getting a couple of feet above flood stage, according to NWS reports.
A Flood Warning was posted for Opequon Creek near Martinsburg for a crest by early Monday evening near 10.8 feet, right above flood stage.
Road closures due to high water were reported across West Virginia, including Route 39 in Huntersville and Route 250 in Thornwood.
The most significant road closure was along Interstate 79 in Lewis County where standing water blocked the highway at Mile Marker 105, Jane Lew, starting at 7:30 a.m. on Monday.
No target reopening time was available as of 11:30 a.m.
Temperatures were expected to drop through the day Monday.

By late Monday, Morgan County, Berkeley County and Jefferson County were scheduled to be under Freeze Watches.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday demanded that an investigation be conducted into the functioning of electronic voting machines (EVMs).
The chief minister cited the apprehensions expressed by Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati in the aftermath of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections and her petition in the court in this regard.
Siddaramaiah also drew attention to a recent demonstration of the voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) system, which showed that any vote cast in the EVM went to the BJP as seen in the VVPAT output.
He did not reply when asked whether he would object if the Election Commission planned to use EVMs for the upcoming byelections to the Nanjangud and Gundlupet Assembly constituencies.
For 13 years, Dove House has helped countless community members and will continue to do so because, Wooten said, sexual abuse occurs at an alarming rate, both in Iredell county and nationwide.
Dove House serves about 200 children and their families per year, Wooten said. But only an estimated quarter of abused children feel safe coming forward with their stories, he said, which means that another 600 children in Iredell county could be affected by sexual abuse and are not telling their stories.
He wants to see that changed, and the way to do so is by getting the word out, he said. “We are a safe haven for children when they are ready, to let them know it’s OK. Part of the healing process is to be able to tell,” Wooten said.
The luncheon is open to the public, and 500 attendees are expected. It is free and table captains are still needed. A table captain is required to fill a table with themselves and seven other people, Wooten said.
The lunch is funded by sponsors, and donations for Dove House are accepted during the event.
Last year, the lunch raised a little more than $40,000, and Dove House officials hope to raise more than $50,000 this year.
“Any one of us can be hero by making a difference in someone’s life. You can help change someone’s life in a positive direction. Anybody can step up and do what is right for children whether time or money, it could make a difference,” Wooten said.
Tim Goff, board chairman for Dove House, said this event is one of three fundraisers for the year, but is unique because it allows anyone to come by on their lunch break to learn about their work and hear their message.
“It is a never-ending stream of broken hearts and broken families. Dove House is so important because it gives families a place to go and serves a great purpose. No one using our services ever pays a penny,” Goff said.
Dove House’s work starts with local law enforcement and the district attorney’s office. The work is then passed on to the staff and volunteers who all work very hard, he said, and it can be emotional and trying at times.
“The luncheon is a great opportunity to reach out to people we can’t reach otherwise due to timing,” Goff said.
As 14-year-old Michael Hubbard of Riverhead remains in Stony Brook University Medical Center, fighting for his life almost three weeks after a gel candle accident, the manufacturer has voluntarily decided to recall the product after The New York Times ran a story Saturday revealing the dangers of the candles.
Michael’s story also made headlines elsewhere around the nation after his mother appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” NBC, CBS and News 12.
