Wisconsin is bringing Cincinnati’s Luke Fickell back to the Big Ten.
Athletic director Chris McIntosh announced Sunday that the Badgers had hired Fickell to take over their football program after his successful run with the Bearcats.
Fickell posted a 57-18 record in six seasons at Cincy and helped the Bearcats earn a College Football Playoff berth last year. The former Ohio State defensive lineman and longtime assistant went 6-7 as the Buckeyes’ interim coach in 2011 after Jim Tressel’s resignation.
“This is a destination job at a program that I have admired from afar for years,” Fickell said in a statement released by the university. “I am in total alignment with Chris McIntosh’s vision for this program. There is a tremendous foundation here that I can’t wait to build upon.”
Fickell informed the Bearcats players earlier Sunday that he was leaving the school. Cincinnati named veteran assistant Kerry Coombs interim coach.
Fickell, 49, takes over for interim coach and former Badgers defensive back Jim Leonhard, who replaced Paul Chryst on Oct. 2.
Chryst went 67-26 in 7 1/2 seasons. He was fired one day after the Badgers lost 34-10 at home to an Illinois team led by former Badgers coach Bret Bielema.
“Luke is one of the top football coaches in the country. He is a proven winner, recruiter and developer of players,” McIntosh said in a statement. “Equally as important, he shares our values. Coach Fickell is focused on giving our student-athletes the best opportunities possible and is attuned to the changing landscape of college athletics.
“I have every confidence that he will respect and honor the foundation that has been set for our football program over the years while embracing the exciting opportunities ahead.”
Wisconsin (6-6, 4-5 Big Ten) is awaiting its bowl assignment. A loss in the bowl game would cause the Badgers to finish below .500 for the first time since 2001.
Leonhard was promoted from defensive coordinator after Chryst’s firing and led Wisconsin to a 4-3 record over the final seven games of the regular season. Leonhard said Saturday after the Badgers’ 23-16 home loss to Minnesota that he had interviewed with McIntosh.
“We were able to sit down earlier this week and had a great conversation,” Leonhard said. “I think that’s between us, what was said, but hopefully there’s decisions that are made soon in the best interests of this university.”
Many Wisconsin players publicly called for Leonhard to get the job.
“I think whoever hires coaches is going to be an idiot if they don’t hire coach Leonhard,” safety John Torchio said after the Minnesota game. “I don’t know if I should say that, but I’ll say it.”
The Badgers instead opted for Fickell, who led Cincinnati to the first CFP berth for any Group of Five school. Fickell won several national coach of the year awards last season for helping Cincinnati go 13-0 before losing to Alabama in a Cotton Bowl semifinal.
That 2021 Cincinnati team produced nine draft picks for the third-highest total of any school, behind only Georgia’s 15 and LSU’s 10. Five Cincinnati players were selected among the top 100 overall picks.
After replacing all that NFL talent, Cincinnati has gone 9-3 this season. The Bearcats didn’t qualify for the American Athletic Conference championship game that takes place Saturday.
Fickell has been sought after for the last few years, most notably an offer from Michigan State after the 2019 season. But the Ohio native has been picky, knowing he had a good thing at Cincinnati.
“This was always going to be a family decision and he felt this was the right time for this decision to be made,” Cincinnati athletic director John Cunningham said.
Cunningham said he will move quickly to replace Fickell, considering both external and internal candidates.
Internally, offensive coordinator Gino Guidugli, a former Bearcats quarterback, would seem to be the most likely candidate.
The job is becoming even more appealing as Fickell leaves it. The Bearcats are switching conferences next year, moving up to the Big 12. The move will bring more revenue into the program, but also tougher competition.
“This is not a stepping-stone job,” Cunningham said. “We can do everything we want to do at the University of Cincinnati.”
Cincinnati went 4-8 in Fickell’s debut season of 2017 but has gone 53-10 since.
Fickell’s Cincinnati players also succeeded in the classroom. Heading into this season, Cincinnati had a 100% graduation rate among players who had stayed in the program for four years under Fickell.

You've learned a second grand jury has declined to indict former Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. The grand jury was in Brazoria County. It looked into evidence from the 10th accusation of sexual misconduct against Watson two weeks ago. You might remember a Harris County grand jury also declined to indict Watson on criminal charges. He still, however, faces 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and assault.
30 women settle claims with Houston Texans over sex misconduct allegations against Deshaun Watson
Updated: 11:05 AM PDT Jul 15, 2022
Thirty women who had accused the Houston Texans of turning a blind eye to allegations that Deshaun Watson was sexually assaulting and harassing women during massage sessions have settled their legal claims against the team, their attorney said Friday.The terms of the settlements reached between each of the women and the Texans are confidential, said attorney Tony Buzbee.While only one of the women had filed a lawsuit against the team, the others had also intended to make legal claims against the Texans before the settlements were reached, Buzbee said.In separate lawsuits, 24 women accused Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments while he played for the Texans. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.

A former West Virginia lawmaker who livestreamed himself on Facebook storming the U.S. Capitol and cheering on what he described as a “revolution” was sentenced Wednesday to three months in prison.
Derrick Evans, 37, who pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge, told the judge that he regrets his actions every day and is a “good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment.”
“I will forever bear the reminder that I made a crucial mistake. I’ve let down myself, I’ve let down my community and most importantly I’ve let down my family,” Evans told the judge.
The Republican from Prichard, West Virginia, was sworn in as a member of the state’s House of Delegates just weeks before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that halted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory and left more than 100 police officers injured. Evans was arrested two days after the riot and promptly resigned a month before the start of the legislative session, so he never served a day in the legislature.
Prosecutors had sought the three months behind bars, describing Evans as a leader in the riot who escalated the chaos at the Capitol by enthusiastically egging on the rioters around him.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth told Evans said time behind bars was necessary to reflect the seriousness of Evans’ actions and help prevent something like the riot from ever happening again.
“I can’t just give you probation in a case like this. It doesn’t reflect the feelings of the community. It doesn’t reflect the feelings of the country about what happened that day,” Lamberth said.
“I don’t want another riot the next election. I don’t want this to happen again, so I’m going to do what I can,” the judge added.
In the days leading up to the riot, Evans told his 30,000 Facebook followers to “Fight For Trump” in the nation’s capital, according to court documents. On the day of the riot, he skipped then- President Donald Trump’s speech and went straight to the Capitol, where he used his cellphone to record the melee for more than an hour, prosecutors said.
In a since-deleted cell phone video that was widely shared online, Evans gleefully narrated the riot for his Facebook followers, cheered on the crowd and fist bumped rioters as he and the rest of the mob swarmed the Capitol and jammed inside.
“Guys, oh my gosh, I can’t even explain what is happening right now, how amazing this is to see in person. I am in awe. The revolution has started. The revolution has started!” he said, according to court documents.
After pushing inside the Capitol, he shouted: “We’re in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”
About 15 minutes after leaving the building, he texted a friend to ask if he should delete the video “so there’s no evidence” of his actions, court records show.
“Even while he was filming the livestream he knew what was happening around him was not lawful,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Fifield told the judge, noting that at one point Evans speculated that Trump would “pardon anybody who gets arrested” for going in the Capitol.
Evans’ attorney urged the judge for probation, noting that the former lawmaker didn’t engage in any violence or destruction and was heard on the video urging others not to do so. Attorney Paul Taylor argued in court documents the video suggests “a certain naivete” and “lack of experience, wisdom or judgement rather than primarily criminal intent.”
Evans, a former teacher and football coach, is among more than 300 people who have pleaded guilty in connection to the riot. Defendants have admitted to crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felony seditious conspiracy.
Sentences have ranged from probation for those who admitted to petty offenses to more than five years in prison for a man who attacked police officers working to hold back the angry mob.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Airstrikes targeting Palestinian militants in a crowded residential area. Armored bulldozers plowing through narrow streets, crushing cars and piling up debris. Protesters burning tires. A mounting death toll.
Israel’s large-scale military raid into the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Monday had undeniable similarities with the second Palestinian uprising of the early 2000s — a period that claimed thousands of lives.
But the current fighting is also different from those intense years of violence. It’s more limited in scope, with Israeli military operations focused on several strongholds of Palestinian militants.
It’s also a symptom of a conflict with no foreseeable end. The Palestinian leadership is weakened, and the Israeli government has been accelerating the expansion of settlements that have eroded any chance of Palestinian statehood.
WHAT IS AN INTIFADA?
The word that means “shaking off” in Arabic was coined to describe an uprising against Israel’s military occupation that erupted in 1987. It ended in 1993 with an agreement of mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
What became known as the first intifada was marked by widespread Palestinian protests and a fierce Israeli response. In the second uprising, which began in 2000, Palestinian militants carried out deadly suicide bombings on buses and at restaurants and hotels, eliciting crushing Israeli military reprisals.
The second uprising pitted Palestinian militant groups against a far more powerful Israeli military. Over 4,000 people died, including vast numbers of civilians. Roughly three times as many Palestinians as Israelis were killed.
Israeli crackdowns upended Palestinian lives, including placing tight restrictions on movement that choked the fledgling economy. For Israelis, especially during the frequent bombings of the second intifada, stepping onto a bus or going out to a restaurant was terrifying.
Those events were initially fueled by widespread participation. Many Palestinians in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — areas captured by Israel in 1967 and claimed by the Palestinians for their state — joined in the protests.
The protests were also driven by the Palestinian leaders, including President Yasser Arafat, whom Israel accused of encouraging and abetting militants. The intifada petered out after Arafat died in 2004 and the current Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, took power.
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW?
In the spring of 2022, a spate of Palestinian attacks against Israelis prompted Israel to launch near-nightly raids into Palestinian areas of the West Bank.
Israel said the raids were meant to stamp out militant networks. But Palestinian attacks have continued, and the death toll on both sides has risen, making last year one of the deadliest for Palestinians in the West Bank since the second intifada.
The violence has only intensified since Israel’s current far-right government, which is made up of hard-line ultranationalist settlement supporters, took power late last year.
The Palestinian death toll this year in the West Bank and east Jerusalem stands at more than 135, according to a tally by The Associated Press, nearly matching the death toll for all of 2022. Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested. Some 24 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks against Israelis.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
The region has not seen such a sustained cycle of violence since the second uprising, which lasted about five years. More recent periods of bloodshed have not lasted this long or involved such a strong show of force by the military.
The tactics seen Monday, with airstrikes, armored bulldozers and a brigade of troops, were a mainstay of the second uprising.
But analysts say that’s where the similarities end.
For one, a monthlong Israeli operation in 2002 that was seen as the peak of the fighting during the second intifada involved an intense clampdown on most cities in the West Bank. Israel’s raids over the last year have been smaller in scale. Israel’s targets are also more limited to local armed groups and militant cells.
Other differences, analysts say, include the weakened Palestinian leadership and the lack of popular participation. While protests have erupted in response to the raids, they have not engulfed the entire West Bank.
“Intifada is a people’s uprising. It’s a society that fights,” said Amir Avivi, president and founder of Israel Defense and Security Forum, a hawkish group of former military commanders. Avivi, who served as a battalion commander in the northern West Bank during the 2002 operation, claimed that the current fighting is dominated by militant groups that are funded by Israel’s archenemy, Iran.
Ziyad Abu Zayad, a Palestinian analyst and former Cabinet minister, said the fighting is best described as “waves” of Palestinian anger, not an uprising.
“The problem is not security, but rather political. And as long as there is no political solution, these waves will continue,” he said. “People, mainly young people, want to live in freedom and dignity. They see no future for themselves, and they only see oppression from the occupation.”
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
There is no end in sight to the fighting. The military raids have tended to fuel more attacks that prompt even more raids.
As attacks against Israelis have mounted, including one that killed four settlers last month, government members have called for a harsher response. They have also intensively advanced settlement building, further dimming hopes for a negotiated solution to the conflict.
The last 16 months, including Monday’s large-scale raid, showed Israel lacks a long-term vision for how to deal with the Palestinians, said Michael Milshtein, a former military official and head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at Tel Aviv University.
“We need to start thinking strategically about the Palestinian issue,” he said. “We can’t just keep plastering over it.”
Abu Zayad, the Palestinian analyst, said Israel’s government is instead pushing the Palestinians “toward more extremism and violence.”
“If there is opposition to the idea of a Palestinian state, these waves are likely to remain for long periods to come.”

BLOOMINGTON — Put Max Quirk on the mound in a regional championship game against Normal U-High, and the Champaign Central baseball team thrives.
Quirk and the Maroons added another piece of postseason hardware to the program’s history on Saturday with a 5-1 win against the Pioneers in a Class 3A Bloomington Regional title game.
Quirk, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-handed senior pitcher for Central, threw four shutout innings of relief and struck out six while only giving up two hits. His performance on Saturday comes almost a year to the date after he threw six shutout innings against Normal U-High in a 3A regional title game the Maroons eventually ended up winning 2-1 in eight innings.
Central didn’t need any late-game dramatics on Saturday. All it needed was superb pitching from three seniors in Quirk, Owen Hobbs and Mitchell Crompton.
“One word comes to mind and that’s selflessness,” Central coach John Staab said after his team won its third straight regional title and the sixth regional title in Staab’s 22 seasons in the dugout in charge of the Maroons. “We just tried to staff it and play with some matchups.”
Hobbs, a 6-6, 190-pound right-hander, started and lasted 2 1/3 innings for Central. He gave up three hits and one run and struck out one.
“Owen certainly didn’t want to leave the game, but I’m so appreciative of those guys and their attitudes and efforts,” Staab said. “We talked about halfway through the season and said, ‘Look, we don’t have a power arm. We’ve got four guys that are strike-throwers that are good arms, but the third time going through an order against good hitting teams, we might need to make a change.’ The kids have bought in to the approach.”
Once Hobbs exited, Quirk kept Normal U-High at bay. Again. Staab was quick to only credit Quirk, but also former Central pitcher and assistant coach Dom Erlinger.
“Max really relied on a fastball and slider in the past, but Dom’s been working with him on a curveball,” Staab said. “This year, Max mixed in the curveball well because when his slider is on, it’s really tough to hit. He just pitched outstanding.”
Crompton, a 5-9, 175-pound left-hander, came on to collect the final two outs and send Central (24-10) into a sectional semifinal game against Chatham Glenwood (28-4) at 4:30 p.m. next Thursday in Lincoln. Crompton helped out at the plate, going 1 for 3 with an RBI, while senior Kendall Crawford’s two-run double in the bottom of the second inning put Central ahead for good thanks to a three-run frame that put the Maroons up 3-1.
Junior TJ Pipkins also added two hits in Central’s sixth straight win.
“We’re still trying to process it,” Staab said, “but just so pleased with their effort and heart.”

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday announced plans to downgrade the legal status of COVID-19 to the equivalent of seasonal influenza in the spring, a move that would further relax mask wearing and other preventive measures as the country seeks to return to normalcy.

Kishida said he has instructed experts and government officials to discuss the details on lowering COVID-19's status. A change would also remove self-isolation rules and other anti-virus requirements and allow COVID-19 patients to seek treatment at any hospital instead of only specialized facilities.
“In order to return to our ordinary daily life in Japan while pursuing measures to adapt to living with the coronavirus, we will study concrete measures to gradually move on to a next step," Kishida said.
In Japan, COVID-19 is currently categorized as a Class 2 disease, along with SARS and tuberculosis, and is subject to restricting movements of patients and their close contacts, while allowing central and local governments to issue emergency measures. Downgrading it to Class 5 would mean scrapping those rules.

The planned change would mark a major turning point in Japan's COVID-19 policy toward normalizing social and economic activities.
The move, however, comes as Japan faces widespread infections and record levels of deaths in what is considered its eighth wave of outbreak since the pandemic began three years ago.
According to the Health Ministry, daily deaths totaled a record high of 503 last Saturday. Experts say the latest increase could be linked to worsening chronic illnesses among older patients.
Downgrading the legal status of COVID-19 under the infectious disease law could remove ongoing hospitalization and self-isolation rules and help to free up hospital beds reserved for COVID-19 patients, Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told reporters.

The idea is to create a system where COVID-19 can be treated as part of ordinary medical services, he said. But he cautioned: “Changing its classification doesn't mean coronavirus is gone. We still need everyone to take voluntary measures by using masks and precautions.”
Kato said mask wearing is unnecessary outdoors now and that indoor use would also be eased once the downgrade is in place.
Kato said it will require some adjustments for people, workplaces, municipalities and hospitals, and declined to set an exact timeline, other than to say it would occur in “the spring.”
Details are still being worked out but the cost of COVID-19 treatments and vaccinations are expected to still be covered by the government for now.

Japan last fall stopped requiring COVID-19 tests for entrants who had at least three shots — part of the country’s careful easing of measures after virtually closing its borders to foreign tourists for about two years.
Japan is now reporting known daily cases of between 100,000 and 200,000.

(The Hill) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has maintained a 7-point lead over Democratic nominee Beto O’Rourke in the Lone Star State’s governor’s race, new polling shows.
The Dallas Morning News-University of Texas at Tyler poll showed Abbott’s 46 percent to 39 percent lead over O’Rourke remained steady since May.
Abbott pulled the bulk of his support from the state’s Republican constituents in the new survey, with more than three-quarters saying they “approve” or “strongly approve” of his handling of the governorship — compared to just 22 percent of Democrats.
Eighty-five percent of Republicans say they’d vote for Abbott in the race for governor, while 81 percent of Democrats say they’d vote for O’Rourke.
A slightly higher percentage of Democrats reported they’d cross party lines to back Abbott than Republicans who said they’d do the same for O’Rourke — 12 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
Higher percentages of respondents said Abbott would do a better job than O’Rourke at handling crime reduction, border security, electrical grid management and the economy, though more respondents said O’Rourke would be better at “bringing people together” than Abbott.
In all, 47 percent of respondents said they approved of Abbott’s job performance and 49 percent disapproved. More than half of voters surveyed also said they thought Texas was “headed off on the wrong track” under its current leadership, at 56 percent, while 43 percent said it’s “headed in the right direction.”
At the same time, slightly more than half of respondents — 53 percent — said they approved of Abbott’s management of the state’s economy
Fifty-one percent, meanwhile, said they approved of Abbott’s handling of immigration at the southern border. The Texas governor has made recent headlines for reportedly sending buses of migrants north from the U.S.-Mexico border to New York City and Washington, D.C., in protest of President Biden’s immigration policies.
Republicans in the new survey were most likely to attribute inflation and a higher cost of living in Texas to Biden and Congress, while Democrats evenly attributed the issue to Washington and to Abbott and Texas legislators and attributed it mostly to “supply problems.”
O’Rourke won the Texas Democratic primary in March and will face Abbott in the general election in November.
Conducted Aug. 1 to Aug. 7, the poll surveyed 1,384 registered voters, of which 33 percent reported being Democrats and 40 percent reported being Republics. Twenty-seven percent said they were affiliated with neither party. The margin of error was 2.8 percentage points.

INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) – The Indiana Senate passed a bill that would legalize throwing stars under certain conditions.
Throwing stars are currently illegal in Indiana, but the bill, introduced by State Sen. Linda Rogers, would lift that ban for recreational use. Star-throwing is allowed in other states, where it’s sometimes found at axe-throwing businesses.
Senate Bill 77 “actually came from a constituent who owns a putt-putt golf course called Ninja Golf,” explained Rogers. “Nearly everyone that I spoke with said, ‘Hey, look, if we can throw axes, we can certainly throw throwing stars.'”
Some say additional safety measures need to be considered since throwing a star is different from throwing an axe.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” said Richard Deschain, co-owner of Ragnarok Axe Throwing LLC in Indianapolis. He said throwing star blades can get bent and hooked over, increasing someone’s odds of getting cut.
“I would say the easiest way for that to have any kind of solution is to require a layered Kevlar glove to be worn when they’re throwing any other object like a throwing star,” he said.
The bill does include some restrictions. Star-throwing would only be permitted at certain businesses, and children ages 12 to 17 could only throw stars with a parent’s written permission.
There are also requirements for fencing between throwing lanes.
“They’re a ton of fun, and I think as long as we are being safe and we are educating people about them, I think it’s absolutely something that we should allow,” Deschain said.
The bill passed the state Senate on a 48-1 vote. It heads to the House next for consideration.

Woman dies after falling into river at Grand Canyon, officials say
(Gray News) - Officials with the National Park Service said a woman visiting the Grand Canyon has died after falling into a river.
The Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center reports a passenger on a commercial river trip fell into the Colorado River on June 11 around 2 p.m. near Pipe Creek Beach.
Officials said commercial guides were able to reach her by boat and began CPR. However, 47-year-old Sheetal Patel was pronounced deceased by rescuers.
The NPS said Patel was cooling off along Pipe Creek Beach when a current caught her in the Colorado River. Patel hiked into the canyon to meet the river trip at Phantom Ranch and was beginning a multi-day boating trip.
The park service is investigating the incident in coordination with the Coconino County Medical Examiner.
Officials reminded all visitors to Grand Canyon to ensure they are drinking plenty of fluids, resting in the shade during the heat of the day, and watching for signs of distress in traveling companions while dressing appropriately for the weather.
The NPS said it does not recommend hiking from the rim to the river and back in one day.

BRAMPTON, Ontario (AP) — The Canadian government has restored funding to Hockey Canada.
Hockey Canada made the announcement Sunday, adding Canadian sport minister Pascale St-Onge made it official, before the Canada-United States gold medal game at the world women’s hockey championship.
Hockey Canada saw its funding shut off by the federal government, and a number of sponsors have pulled funding since May when it was revealed a woman alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players — including members of the 2018 world junior team — following a foundation gala in London, Ontario, in February 2018.
Hockey Canada and the woman quietly settled a $3.55 million lawsuit out of court.
The organization then announced members of the 2003 men’s world junior roster — the last time Halifax hosted — were also being investigated for a group sexual assault.
It was also revealed that Hockey Canada’s little-known National Equity Fund – maintained by fees collected from players across the country – had been used to pay for uninsured liabilities, including sexual abuse claims.
Hockey Canada executives in July revealed that they paid out $8.9 million in sexual abuse settlements since 1989, excluding the 2018 deal.
In order to have its funding reinstated, Hockey Canada needed to meet three conditions outlined by St-Onge:
– Become a full-signatory to Abuse-Free Sport and the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC);
– Review and implement the recommendations from an independent governance review led by retired Justice Thomas Cromwell;
– And commit to more frequent reporting to the federal government.
“Today marks an important milestone for Hockey Canada in our journey to earn and maintain the trust of Canadians,” Hockey Canada chair Hugh L. Fraser said in a statement. “While I would like to thank Minister St-Onge and the government for their vote of confidence and for their ongoing efforts to prioritize safe sport in Canada, I also wish to stress that we still have work to do to change the culture of our sport.
“This is a significant moment for the future of Hockey Canada, and hockey in Canada, as it will enable us to further our commitment to supporting all levels of the sport”
Hockey Canada elected a new nine-member board in December after the previous board resigned and CEO Scott Smith was ousted as a result of the controversies.
Cromwell recommended the new board serve only a one-year term focused on improving the organization’s governance and safety across the sport.
Hockey Canada has yet to hire a new CEO.

DALLAS — More than 1,000 flights were cancelled and many more delayed Monday with more expected in coming days as Texas and nearby states dealt with freezing temperatures and wintry precipitation.
Nearly 350 flights were canceled at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and more than 200 at Dallas Love Field, according to the tracking service FlightAware. About 4,700 flights were delayed nationwide.
Dallas-based Southwest scrubbed more than 500 flights, or about 12% of its entire schedule, while American, based in Fort-Worth, had dropped about 200 flights.
Monday's disruptions follow Southwest's meltdown in December that began with a winter storm but continued after most other airlines had recovered. Southwest canceled about 16,700 flights over the last 10 days of the year, and the U.S. Transportation Department is investigating.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for parts of north Texas starting on Monday afternoon. An icy mix covered some roadways as snow and rain fell and then froze.
High temperatures are expected to stay in the 30s (-1.1 Celsius) until Thursday.
Beyond Texas, forecasters said ice could accumulate in neighboring Oklahoma and Arkansas and stretch east into the Deep South and Midwest this week. Schools and colleges in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas planned to close or go to virtual learning Tuesday.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has proposed legislation that would transfer the country’s nominally civilian National Guard to total military authority, completing a dramatic shift for a politician who earlier in his career called for soldiers to return to the barracks.
In addition to the dizzying political evolution the change would mark, the proposal is almost certain to face constitutional challenges.
López Obrador created the National Guard in 2019, arguing that Mexico’s federal police were hopelessly corrupt and incapable of confronting Mexico’s powerful drug cartels. He enshrined it in the constitution, putting it under the authority of the civilian public security apparatus.
Critics argue that reforms to enabling legislation responsible for the National Guard is not sufficient to shift its constitutionally established civilian authority to the military.
“It is very clear in Article 21 of the Mexican Constitution that establishes first that the National Guard is a body of civilian character and under the authority of the Security and Citizen Protection Secretary,” said analyst Ana Lorena Delgadillo, director of the Justice Foundation. “So any change that you want to make to move the National Guard to (the defense ministry) would have to pass first though a constitutional reform.”
She added that even if they tried for a constitutional reform lawmakers would need to evaluate if putting the National Guard under military command would be in line with the spirit of civilian security that governs the constitution.
López Obrador no longer appears to have the votes in Congress for a constitutional reform.
In his proposal, López Obrador makes a multi-pronged argument: civilian police forces have failed to secure the country; the military is Mexico’s most trusted institution; and, the National Guard is already essentially a military institution.
Of the more than 110,000 members of the National Guard, more than 80% came from the army and the navy, the president notes. The National Guard is only functioning because of the military leadership that organized it and the military’s extensive logistics capabilities.
Much of López Obrador’s proposal reads as an ode to the military as a central pillar in Mexican society. The tone is one Mexicans will recognize. The president has given the military more responsibilities than any Mexican leader in recent memory putting them in charge of not only battling drug cartels, but also fuel theft. He had them build a new airport for the capital and a tourist train on the Yucatan Peninsula. They build bank branches in rural areas and were key in the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The transfer of operational and administrative control of the National Guard to (the defense ministry) responds to the immediate necessity to overcome administrative obstacles and the availability of resources,” López Obrador wrote, going on to argue that it is the only way to match the geographic breadth, logistical capabilities and firepower of organized crime.
In his state-of-the-nation address Thursday, López Obrador said, “The goal isn’t to militarize or become authoritarian, but rather to entrust to the oversight of the Defense Department the growth of what should be the country’s main public safety force.”
The military has been in the streets in a critical security role for years, well before López Obrador took office. It has been accused of human rights abuses and the United Nations has long called for it to be taken out of policing.
Neither the National Guard nor the military have been able to lower the insecurity in the country, however. Last month, organized crime groups rampaged in four states in a week’s time, burning businesses and killing bystanders.
Critics say the National Guard lacks the investigative and intelligence capacities of a police force. They are a visible presence on patrols and respond to violence, but do little to prevent it.
Sen. Emilio Álvarez Icaza, an independent politician, said that last year, the National Guard reported making 14 arrests product of its own investigations — there were many other arrests in cases where they caught people in illegal acts. They reported turning over 50 people accused of organized crime to prosecutors.
“The National Guard has 115,000 members; it is a disaster in its own numbers,” he said.
“They believe that by being there it fixes things and nothing happens,” Álvarez said. “They believe that doing nothing is best. They believe that their presence inhibits and that is absurd.”
López Obrador’s proposal does not address the question of how the military is the correct institution to lead what he continues to call a national police force. The president speaks often of the impunity that plagues the country, but it remains unclear how a security force composed of and lead by the military will be able to perform the work of law enforcement necessary to bring criminals to justice.
The package of reforms was submitted to Congress ahead of the start of its new legislative session Thursday.

PITTSBURGH, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a transport driver and I thought there should be a way to illuminate both stacked trailers at night," said an inventor, from Langley, BC, Canada, "so I invented the R B CONNECTOR. My design would make the second trailer much easier to see and avoid in adverse weather and low lighting conditions."
The patent-pending invention provides enhanced lighting for a stacked trailer configuration at night. In doing so, it prevents motorists from overlooking a stacked trailer due to lack of lighting. As a result, it increases visibility and safety and it could help to avoid collisions. The invention features a portable and weatherproof design that is easy to apply and use so it is ideal for trucking companies and truck drivers. Additionally, a prototype is available.
The original design was submitted to the Toronto sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 20-TRO-542, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

NEW YORK — After Richard Rojas was kicked out of the Navy, he began sharing disturbing thoughts that were coursing through his head — that cars were following him, that aircraft were dusting him with chemicals, that his meals were poisoned.
Whether Rojas was correct about his mental condition is at the crux of a trial in New York, where he mounted a sidewalk in his car in 2017 and mowed down pedestrians in Times Square.
A teen tourist from Michigan died in front of her mother in the attack. More than 20 other people were injured.
Rojas, 31, is fighting murder, assault and other charges at a trial unfolding in the shadow of mass shootings across the country and the political debate in which gun-control opponents have sought to blame the violence on failures in mental health care.
At the outset, state Judge Daniel Conviser floated the possibility of a paradoxical outcome in the Rojas case: Jurors could find Rojas guilty, while at the same time deciding that he “lacked responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect.” The judge said the finding would qualify him for an open ended “involuntary mental commitment” instead of a lengthy prison term.
Prosecutors concede Rojas had some mental challenges and that a motive for the attack is not clear cut. But they also argue that the defendant had led a mostly normal life — serving in the military, getting a real estate license, making friends — and that he doesn’t meet the insanity standard needed to clear him of responsibility. They say he had several chances to stop his car on a bustling day in Times Squares but ruthlessly kept going until he crashed.
“It was impossible for him not to know exactly what was happening,” prosecutor Alfred Peterson told the jury.
A prosecution case that ended late last month focused largely on harrowing accounts of victims who survived the carnage in Times Square. With the trial winding down, the defense has been trying to counter in recent days by drilling down on Rojas’ troubled past to try to convince the jury he was too sick to know what he was doing.
Family members, including Reyes, have described the wave of paranoia from the witness stand.
A key defense witness has been Ziv Cohen, a psychiatrist on the faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College and at Columbia University, who diagnosed Rojas as schizophrenic. Unlike more common psychological disorders, schizophrenia is “a brain disease, so it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain” that made Rojas prone to hallucinations, Cohen testified.
While in the Navy, Rojas began to hear voices, the doctor said. In particular, he was hearing from “James” — a “supernatural, God-like figure who had special information,” he testified.
On the day of the rampage, his imaginary guide told Rojas he needed to crash his car into “spirits” around him in order to send them to heaven and to release Rojas “from the torture that he is experiencing as part of his psychosis,” he testified.
“At a certain point, the psychosis becomes so severe that he can’t control his behavior anymore,” he said.
Family members testified about their despair over seeing Rojas disintegrate after he was discharged from the Navy in 2014 — the result of a court martial stemming from an arrest for beating a cab driver.
A brother, Wilmer Veras, took the witness stand to recall how a delusional Rojas was obsessed with keeping tape over his phone and laptop camera lenses in case he was being watched. When out in the world, he would “look for things that weren’t there” and “say people were following him around.” He even accused Veras of “doing voodoo on him.”
At that point, “I told him he really needed to get help; that he was really losing it,” Veras said.
The uncle, Ramon Reyes, recounted a phone call a few days before the Times Square crash in which Rojas asked for help. Reyes told him to come by his home the next day so he could take him to a doctor, but “he never showed up,” he said.
When a relative contacted Reyes saying she saw a TV report about an arrest that had images of someone who looked like Rojas, the uncle began frantically calling his nephew hoping it wasn’t him, he testified. The uncle was asked if Rojas ever picked up.
“No,” the witness responded, then wept.

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump will travel to East Palestine, Ohio Wednesday and is set to donate thousands of gallons of cleaning supplies and more than a dozen pallets of water to the community as it grapples with the aftermath of the train derailment that led to a large release of toxic chemicals, Fox News Digital has learned.
A source familiar with the former president’s plans told Fox News Digital that Trump will travel to East Palestine on Wednesday to meet with members of the community and community officials.
Joining the former president throughout his visit will be East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway; Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio; Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio; State Rep. Monica Robb-Blasdel; and Ohio State Sen. Michael Rulli in addition to other statewide and local officials.
TRUMP TO VISIT EAST PALESTINE AFTER TOXIC TRAIN DERAILMENT
Trump is expected to donate thousands of gallons of cleaning supplies, along with 13 pallets of water to East Palestine. A single pallet typically holds a couple of thousand bottles of water. The former president is teaming up with nonprofit organizations Blue Line Moving and KORTX.
"President Trump is meeting with the citizens of East Palestine and will never forget them and what they are going through," a Trump advisor told Fox News Digital. "Contrast that with Biden and the federal government who has failed them from the beginning."
Trump's planned visit comes after a train derailment on Feb. 3, when about 50 cars on a Norfolk Southern Railroad train carrying vinyl chloride derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, a small community that is located along the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.
EAST PALESTINE: HHS, CDC SENDING MEDICAL PERSONNEL AFTER TRAIN DERAILMENT, OFFICIALS SAY
The company opted to release the gas from the derailed cars, releasing potentially deadly fumes and other dangerous chemicals into the air, to prevent a disastrous explosion. Local residents were told to evacuate the area during the release, but were assured it was safe to return on Feb. 9.
Residents of the East Palestine community have reported severe symptoms from toxins and chemicals that have seeped into the air and waterways since the derailment on Feb. 7.
After more than two weeks, the Biden administration on Friday announced it would deploy medical personnel and toxicologists to East Palestine from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine requested HHS and CDC assistance on Feb. 16, after being denied aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA told DeWine Ohio isn't eligible for disaster assistance, even amid the derailment.
A White House official told Fox News Digital on Friday that FEMA, the agency that usually provides relief to communities hit by hurricanes and other natural disasters, isn't best equipped to support the state's current needs.
OHIO TRAIN DERAILMENT: FEMA TO DEPLOY TEAM TO EAST PALESTINE 2 WEEKS AFTER DISASTER
Fox News Digital first reported Trump’s planned visit Friday evening.
Hours later, FEMA reversed its decision, and announced Friday night it would deploy federal assistance to East Palestine.
The Biden administration had taken heavy criticism from residents for not approving a FEMA disaster declaration. The derailment does not meet the legal requirements for such a declaration, officials say.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan has visited East Palestine. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has said he plans to visit East Palestine, but has yet to do so.
But President Biden has yet to visit the East Palestine community. Instead, Biden on Monday made a surprise visit to Ukraine during a trip overseas—nearly a year after Russia’s unprecedented invasion of Ukraine.
EAST PALESTINE, OHIO MAYOR 'FURIOUS' WITH BIDEN'S UKRAINE VISIT: 'THAT WAS THE BIGGEST SLAP IN THE FACE'
Biden’s visit left East Palestine residents and officials "furious."
"That was the biggest slap in the face," Mayor Conaway said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Monday. "That tells you right now he doesn't care about us. He can send every agency he wants to, but I found out this morning that he was in Ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there and not to us…on President’s Day in our country."
He added: "So, I’m furious."
Conaway and local residents have pleaded for more federal assistance, saying that resources on the ground have been insufficient.
Water from the city of East Palestine has been tested and is considered safe, but residents using well water have been encouraged to use bottled water. Hundreds of air samples from homes in the area indicated no present toxins. Residents, however, remain uneasy as noxious odors and reports of mysterious rashes leave them concerned about the area's safety.

(NEXSTAR) – Regular customers at In-N-Out may have noticed something missing from the offerings at their favorite burger joint, and it’s leaving some customers fired up — or rather, not-so-fired-up.
“We apologize for any disappointment, but unfortunately there is a widespread shortage of the whole cascabella chilies that we traditionally offer,” a representative for In-N-Out confirmed in an emailed statement to Nexstar. “In the meantime, we have hot banana pepper rings available as a substitution.”
In-N-Out did not specify the reason for the shortage, but reports centered around a similar issue in 2016 and 2017 suggested a less-than-average crop yield, Munchies reported at the time.
The little yellow-green peppers, a beloved condiment among spice-loving In-N-Out fans, have been out of stock for “a couple of months now,” according to SFGATE, which broke news of the chain’s efforts to replenish the peppers in an article published earlier this week.
Indeed, a Reddit user who claimed to be employed at In-N-Out had warned of the pepper shortage in mid-December, alleging that restaurants were only serving what was left of their “stockpiles” at the time.
Others likened the current shortage to that of the 2016/2017 shortage, when the peppers were scarce (and even rationed) amid what In-N-Out called an “industry-wide” crop shortage, Foodbeast reported at the time.
“My [store manager] was talking about the 2017 shortage and [said] that people were going crazy,” one Reddit user claimed, after earlier writing that customers were generally pretty understanding in recent months.
“Maybe people now are used to shortages because of the pandemic and they aren’t caring too much.”
In any case, In-N-Out has likely fielded at least a few complaints from heated customers, some of whom took to Twitter to lament the lack of their preferred peppers.
“We appreciate our Customers’ concern,” In-N-Out’s representative said, “and we hope to have our standard cascabella chilies available again in the spring.”

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Iza Ali’s five children are still waiting to eat at 3 p.m. It's not the first day that the family has gone without food since they fled extremist violence in northeast Nigeria six years ago.
She and her husband scrape together $3 a day, but it's rarely enough to feed the family of seven. Often they scavenge for greens outside the Jere displacement camp where they live on the outskirts of Maiduguri.
“If we don’t see food, we drink water,” the 25-year-old mother says, her 4-month-old tugging at her dress. “Only God can help us.”
Aid agencies are warning that families like hers are increasingly at risk amid lower food production this year in Nigeria and as global humanitarian funds are being diverted as a result of the war in Ukraine.
Acute malnutrition has soared from affecting 1.4 million children in the northeast to 1.7 million in the last year, according to Priscilla Bayo Nicholas, a nutrition specialist with the U.N. children’s agency in Nigeria's Borno state. In 2017, the number was just 400,000.
“If we don’t treat them, we will lose these children,” she warned.
Like Ali, many in northeast Nigeria have had their livelihoods destroyed since 2009 when extremists started waging an insurgency in Africa’s most populous country. The attacks carried out by Boko Haram and its offshoot — the Islamic State in West Africa Province — have killed more than 35,000 people in Nigeria and neighboring Chad, Niger and Cameroon while at least 2.1 million people have been displaced, according to U.N. figures.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met with displaced Nigerians last week while in Maiduguri as he wrapped up his West African three-nation tour in a “visit of solidarity with the victims of terrorism.”
“I saw smiles. I saw enthusiasm. I saw hope,” Guterres said. “And this is where we must invest,” he added, calling for an additional $351 million as part of the overall $1.1 billion for the U.N. humanitarian response plan for Nigeria.
Those who are displaced, however, say their hopes are dimming each day.
At the Banki displacement camp near the Cameroonian border, U.N. staffers are caring for more than 50,000 people displaced by violence. The camp is surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and filled with women and children whose futures are uncertain.
Patched with bandages and with visible wounds, children suffering from acute malnutrition lay on beds under the watchful gaze of their mothers and caregivers inside the camp’s nutrition center.
Here 20-month-old Mbolena rubs his swollen stomach, which hangs over his tiny body and visible veins. His mother Isa Ali says she's thankful that at least “he is feeling better now.” Beside his bed, Maryam Hassan cuddles her severely wounded baby passionately as he clings to life.
Many more children are trapped in places that humanitarian workers are unable to access because of security risks, Nicholas told The AP.
Gomezgani Jenda, with Save the Children International's Nigerian office, said conflict exacerbates the problems already faced by children in the region.
“The humanitarian situation affecting children in these areas continues to be a challenge with an urgent need that is even greater than before,” Jenda said.
In many displacement camps in Nigeria, government agencies provide food while aid agencies mostly focus on educational and health needs. But the amount that comes from the Nigerian government relief agency every two months rarely last more than a few days, said Mala Bukar, chairman of the Jere camp.
The nation's ministry of humanitarian affairs did not respond to an inquiry from The AP.
Nigerian authorities have started closing some of the displacement camps as part of efforts to return people to their hometowns abandoned in a war that the nation’s leader President Muhammadu Buhari said last week was “approaching its conclusion.”
More than 50,000 Islamic militants have surrendered, according to the Nigerian military. However, the International Crisis Group has said that the most dominant faction, ISWAP, is “consolidating its grip on new rural areas,” in parts of Borno state.
Ali wants the violence to stop there so she and her husband and five children can return home and farm again. However, impending attacks haunt her, so she remains displaced.
“We want to go back,” she said. But only “if the bush is cleared and there are no Boko Haram members that will kill us.”

Hyundai is already done with its budget Aston Martin phase and moving into the future.
On Sunday, the 2024 Hyundai Sonata debuted ahead of its formal introduction at the Seoul auto show on March 30. Light on details and long on design and technology updates, the refreshed Sonata looks to cut a new path forward.
Gone is the Aston Martin-like grille. It’s replaced by a look seemingly inspired by “RoboCop.” The updated exterior sports new front and rear ends with full-width LED lighting, hidden inset horizontal headlights, and a grille that nearly overtakes the entire front clip. The nose follows the styling of the 2024 Kona.
Out back, a new black panel with a textured finish sits beneath full-width taillights. Sportier N Line models gain quad exhaust tips and model-specific double five-spoke 19-inch wheels. Every Sonata now features a rear spoiler, and Hyundai said the updated aerodynamics aid both with fuel economy and high-speed stability.
Inside, the revised dashboard features two 12.3-inch screens mounted under one curved piece of glass. The digital gauge cluster’s tachometer and speedometer design looks similar to that of the Ford F-150 and upcoming 2024 Ford Explorer. The touchscreen also appears to have a new interface not seen in a Hyundai to date.
Hard buttons remain for core infotainment functions, along with a volume knob. Two knobs are retained for the climate control system, but a new touchscreen interface will be the main point of contact for most climate controls. A new column-mounted shifter similar to what’s found in the Ioniq 5 juts out from the bottom right of the steering column, and the three-spoke steering wheel has a new design.
Aside from saying it’ll come in standard and N Line trim, Hyundai isn’t talking powertrains, efficiency, trim features, or pricing yet. The automaker hasn’t even said when the 2024 Sonata will arrive in the U.S.
Stay tuned as more information becomes available.

What happens next is always a question after a big election cycle. Depending upon one’s view of outcomes, expectations can be extreme. Some see a new era of hope. Others a country in chaos.
As in, “Oh, we’ve slain the devils of election denialism, democracy is saved!” Or, “Ugh, liberal Democrats will kill the economy with their giveaways, ruin our culture with their wokeness!”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Cole Irvin allowed four hits over seven innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros 4-2 on Wednesday for their first winning sweep in 32 series this season.
Oakland, an AL-worst 38-63, won three in a row from AL West-leading Houston (64-35) and has won six of its last eight against the Astros.
Houston was swept in a series for the first time since last Sept. 24-26, also at Oakland. Yordan Álvarez hit his 29th homer.
“Any time you can sweep a team at this level, it’s always a good thing,” Irvin said.
Stephen Vogt and Stephen Piscotty homered on back-to-back fastballs in the second from Cristian Javier (6-6). Tony Kemp had three hits, including an RBI double.
Javier allowed three runs and five hits in five innings. He is 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA in four starts since pitching seven hitless innings at Yankee Stadium on June 25 and allowing one hit over seven innings against the Los Angeles Angels six days later. His season ERA has risen from 2.57 to 3.26 during the four-game span.
Irvin (6-7) struck out four and walked one, retiring 12 in a row. He was 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA in five starts during July. While Irvin is 4-2 with a 1.73 ERA at home, he is 2-5 with a 4.79 ERA on the road.
“You just can’t say enough about the way he’s been pitching,” Vogt said. “He does such a good job keeping everybody off balance. He works quick, and hitters don’t like that.”
A.J. Puk pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save, finishing a five-hitter.
Jake Meyers cut Houston’s deficit with an RBI triple in the fifth, but Kemp doubled in a run in the bottom half.
Álvarez closed the Astros to 3-2 with his home run in the sixth. Skye Bolt greeted Phil Maton with an RBI single in the seventh.
“You’ve got to be ready to play,” Astros third baseman Alex Bregman said. “We didn’t play our best baseball the last three days, but we’ll go home and look forward to doing that tomorrow.”
AT THE CAGE
NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry of Golden State took batting practice and threw ceremonial first pitches with his wife, Ayesha. Curry’s Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation teamed with the A’s to host roughly 1,000 children from local community organizations at the game. Batting against Oakland manager Mark Kotsay, the right-handed hitting Curry swung through a few pitches but then made regular contact, hitting several fly balls and grounders to left field.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (right flexor tendon strain) was scheduled to make his second rehab start Wednesday, pitching for Triple-A Sugar Land at Oklahoma City.
Athletics: INF Jed Lowrie (sprained left shoulder) played five innings at first base Tuesday for Triple-A Las Vegas and was scheduled to serve as DH for the entire game Wednesday. … RHP Dany Jimenez (strained right shoulder) is to begin a rehab assignment Friday. … 1B Seth Brown (paternity leave) is expected to rejoin the team Friday in Chicago against the White Sox. His wife, Brittaney, gave birth to a son on Tuesday.
UP NEXT
Astros: RHP José Urquidy (9-4, 3.93 ERA) is to start Thursday’s opener of a four-game series against visiting Seattle, which goes with RHP Logan Gilbert (10-4, 2.77)

American Lung Association, Ad Council raise awareness among parents and their kids about vaping with new PSAs created by Hill Holliday
CHICAGO, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Lung Association and the Ad Council today launched a new series of public service advertisements (PSAs) encouraging parents to proactively talk to their kids about the dangers and health effects of vaping. The new PSAs, created pro bono by advertising agency Hill Holliday, are part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about the risks associated with youth vaping and help parents with kids aged 10-14 initiate important conversations with their kids to prevent their kids from starting.
"These new PSAs address the need for parents to educate themselves about the dangers of vaping in a way that feels relevant and timely," said Michelle Hillman, Chief Campaign Development Officer of the Ad Council. "We know that stress and peer pressure are the main motivators for kids to start vaping. With the beginning of a new school year and a host of pressures youth are facing, we're providing parents with critical resources and encouragement to have important conversations with their kids about vaping."
Rates of e-cigarette use by teens increased 73% from 2016 to 2020.[1] Currently 2.1 million kids use e-cigarettes[2] and thousands of kids start vaping every day.[3] Despite the growing number of youth who are vaping, many parents with children between ages 10-14 don't fully realize the risks associated with youth vaping. E-cigarettes contain harmful and addictive ingredients including nicotine, formaldehyde, which is known to cause cancer, and acrolein, and can also cause irreversible lung damage. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can harm the developing brain and lead to a lifetime of addiction to tobacco products. In addition, kids who use e-cigarettes are 4 times more likely to try a traditional cigarette and 3 times more likely to become addicted to nicotine.[4]
"Educational campaigns, and conversations that parents have with their pre-teens about issues like vaping are critical. We know from more than 50 years of efforts to end tobacco use that these educational programs make a difference to deter youth from using these very addictive products," said Harold Wimmer, National President and CEO for the American Lung Association. "While we are seeing historically low smoking rates, youth e-cigarette use is still unacceptably high. Collaboration, like our partnership with the Ad Council and Hill Holliday, is integral to ending the youth vaping epidemic."
Developed pro bono by creative agency Hill Holliday, the new PSAs use pop culture and viral dance video trends to connect parents and their kids as a lead-in to more serious conversations about the dangers of vaping. The spots feature dancer, social media influencer and anti-vaping activist Russell Horning, "The Backpack Kid," who gained fame after his "Flossing" dance video went viral.
"We are proud to launch this important and timely campaign, which will help protect kids' health as they head back to school," said Karen Kaplan, Chair and CEO, Hill Holliday. "We are deeply passionate about our partnership with the American Lung Association and the Ad Council; this ongoing collaboration has had a tremendous positive impact on Americans' health and continues to save lives."
"Young people don't always think about how the choices we make now can really hurt us when we get older," said the now 20-year-old Horning. "I'm proud to use my platform to encourage kids to never start vaping so they can reach their dreams without the health risks of vaping holding them back."
The campaign encourages parents to visit TalkAboutVaping.org for resources to empower parents to talk to their kids about vaping, such as a youth vaping "Get the Facts" page and Conversation Guide.
The "#DoTheVapeTalk" PSAs will appear nationwide in time and space donated by the media, across all advertising formats: broadcast, radio, digital, social, out-of-home and print. TikTok has committed to additional support of the campaign, collaborating with some of the platform's influential creators on the development of custom content, and providing significant donated media to reach parents with the campaign's critical message. Meta has also committed to providing donated media space to reach parents. Since the campaign's 2020 launch, the Lung Association and Ad Council's youth vaping prevention effort has received more than $35.4 million in donated media support across television, radio, print, out-of-home and digital media, receiving over 2.7 billion impressions.

Biden aims to deliver reassurance in State of Union address
By ZEKE MILLER and SEUNG MIN KIM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is ready to offer a reassuring assessment of the nation’s condition rather than roll out flashy policy proposals as he delivers his second State of the Union address seeking to overcome pessimism in the country and concerns about his own leadership.
His speech before a politically divided Congress comes Tuesday night as the nation struggles to make sense of confounding cross-currents at home and abroad — economic uncertainty, a wearying war in Ukraine, growing tensions with China among them — and warily sizes up Biden’s fitness for a likely reelection bid.
The president will stand at the House rostrum at a time when just a quarter of U.S. adults say things in the country are headed in the right direction, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About three-quarters say things are on the wrong track. And a majority of Democrats don’t want Biden to seek another term.
Biden will aim to confront those sentiments head on, aides said, while at the same time trying to avoid sounding insensitive to Americans’ concerns.
Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council, said Biden would “acknowledge and meet American people where they are,” adding that their “economic anxiety is real.”
“I think the core message is: We have to make more progress, but people should feel optimism,” he added.
Chapman University presidential historian Luke Nichter said the closest parallel to Biden’s present circumstance may be the 1960s, when global uncertainty met domestic disquiet. Biden, he said, has an opportunity to be a “calming presence” for the country.
“Usually we’re looking for an agenda: ‘Here’s what he plans to do.’ I don’t know that that’s really realistic,” Nichter said. “I think Americans’ expectations are pretty low of what Congress is actually going to achieve. And so I think right now, sentiment and tone, and helping Americans feel better about their circumstances, I think are going to go a long way.”
The setting for Biden’s speech will be markedly different than a year ago, when it was Democratic stalwart Nancy Pelosi seated behind him as speaker. She’s been replaced by GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and it’s unclear what kind of reception restive Republican will give the Democratic president.
With COVID-19 restrictions now lifted, the White House and legislators from both parties are inviting guests designed to drive home political messages with their presence in the House chamber. The parents of Tyre Nichols, who was severely beaten by police officers in Memphis and later died, are among those expected to be in the audience.
Biden is shifting his sights after spending his first two years pushing through major bills such as the bipartisan infrastructure package, a bill to promote high-tech manufacturing and climate legislations. With Republicans now in control of the House, Biden is turning his focus to implementing the massive laws and making sure voters credit him for the improvements rather than crafting major new initiatives.
It’s largely by necessity. Biden faces a newly empowered GOP that is itching to undo many of his achievements and vowing to pursue a multitude of investigations — including looking into the recent discoveries of classified documents from his time as vice president at his home and former office.
At the same time, Biden will need to find a way to work across the aisle to raise the federal debt limit by this summer and keep the government funded. Biden has insisted that he won’t negotiate on meeting the country’s debt obligations; Republicans have been equally adamant that Biden must make spending concessions.
One the eve of the president’s address, McCarthy challenged Biden to come to the negotiating table with House Republicans to slash spending as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
“Mr. President, it’s time to get to work,” McCarthy said in remarks from the speaker’s balcony at the Capitol.
While hopes for large-scale bipartisanship are slim, Biden was set to reissue his 2022 appeal for Congress to get behind his “unity agenda” of actions to address the opioid epidemic, mental health, veterans’ health and fighting cancer.
The speech comes days after Biden ordered the military to shoot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew brazenly across the country, captivating the nation and serving as a reminder of tense relations between the two global powers.
Last year’s address occured just days after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine and as many in the West doubted Kyiv’s ability to withstand the onslaught. Over the past year, the U.S. and other allies have sent tens of billions of dollars in military and economic assistance to bolster Ukraine’s defenses. Now, Biden must make the case — both at home and abroad — for sustaining that coalition as the war drags on.
“The president will really want to reinforce just what a significant accomplishment has already been achieved and then to reinforce how much more has to be done, how we are committed to doing it, and how we will ask for a bipartisan basis the U.S. Congress to join us in doing that work,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday.
While COVID-19 has eased at home, Biden will turn his sights to other national ills, including the deadly opioid epidemic, gun violence and police abuses.
The president spent much of the weekend into Monday reviewing speech drafts with aides at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
Senior White House adviser Anita Dunn will preview broad themes of Biden’s address to Democratic lawmakers throughout the day on Tuesday, starting with a breakfast with House Democrats on Capitol Hill.
McCarthy called on Biden to embrace the Republican effort to put the nation’s finances on a path toward a balanced budget, which would require deep and politically unpopular reductions in federal spending that Biden and Democrats have vehemently resisted.
“We must move towards a balanced budget and insist on genuine accountability for every dollar we spend,” McCarthy said.
He insisted cuts to Medicare and Social Security, the popular health and retirement programs primarily for older Americans, were “off the table” in any budget negotiation. The GOP leader also said “defaulting on our debt is not an option.”
The White House has insisted Republicans cannot be trusted to protect the programs and blasted Republicans for “threatening to actively throw our economy into a tailspin with a default” by putting conditions on the debt limit.

SEATTLE — Late Sunday afternoon, Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was pronounced “fine” by his manager a couple hours after he was forced out of a game at Yankee Stadium with a sore neck.
A day and a cross-country trip later, the Yankees began a two-city West Coast swing with Rizzo out of the lineup for their series opener against the Mariners.
“Sore neck,” Aaron Boone said Monday.

Boone’s new assessment:
“He should be fine.”
The Yankees aren’t overly concerned.
“It’s just something we didn’t want to mess with too much,” Boone said. “Head wise, he’s fine. But he was stiff in his neck (Monday). So he’ll get treatment. I would expect him to be available probably on some level (Monday) off the bench.”
There’s a good chance that Rizzo will be back in the lineup for Tuesday night’s game, Boone added.
“I would anticipate it, but we’re going to see how he get through (Monday) with treatment and stuff,” the manager said. “But it’s my hope and probably my expectation.”
Rizzo had to leave Sunday’s 9-6 win over Padres in the sixth inning after tagging out San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr., who struck the first baseman in the head with his hip when he opted not to slide into first base on a pickoff throw.

Because Rizzo passed concussion protocols on Sunday, the Yankees aren’t planning on additional testing.
“No,” Boone said. “He’s just a little stiff, so we’re being cautious.”
The Yankees reached the one-third point of the season Monday, and this was just the third game in 54 that Rizzo didn’t start. He’s had a great season so far, leading the Yankees with a .304 average and 62 hits through Sunday while ranking second on the club behind Aaron Judge with 11 homers, 32 RBI, a .376 on-base percentage and an .881 OPS.
“Great player, but at the same time it’s a long trip,” Boone said, referring to the Yankees playing three in Seattle and then three in Los Angeles against the Dodgers after Thursday’s off day. “In the stretch of games we’re in, it’s not the worst thing (having Rizzo not start a game), not only for the neck but just to have a day where you’re going cross country. Hopefully it’s something that serves him well.”
With Rizzo out, his usual No. 3 spot in the Yankees’ lineup was filled on Monday by designated hitter Willie Calhoun.
“I just wanted to create a little bit of balance within the lineup,” Boone said. “With three lefties in there, I’m spacing them out.”
Also, Boone liked Calhoun high in the lineup with the Mariners starting rookie right-hander Bryce Miller, who was 3-1 with a 1.15 ERA in five starts following an early May first big-league call-up.
“The guy we’re facing has a really good fastball,” Boone said. “Obviously, Willie can really hit a heater.”

Working with a mentor provided business school junior with career insights and opportunities to gain work experience.
PISCATAWAY, N.J., April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- When mentor Terice Barnett met Rutgers Business School student Vivian Chou, she was struck by the undergraduate's passion for accounting.
"She was genuinely interested in the profession," said Barnett, a supervising accountant at Withum. "She came ready with questions."
Chou was in the first cohort of students to participate in RBS-New Brunswick's Road to CPA mentorship program. By speaking with Barnett twice a month, she gained insight into the work culture at a midsize firm, striking a work-life balance, and job specialization. She also received guidance on how best to earn the 150 credits required for the certified public accountant exam and choosing summer classes.
"It was a great, personal experience," said Chou, who is a Rutgers Business School junior.
Mentorships are a popular part of Road to CPA, a year-old program that provides guidance and support to students interested in an accounting career. Eighty professional-student pairs – double the number from spring 2022 – are participating this semester, said Sarah O'Rourke, an assistant professor of professional practice in accounting and director of Road to CPA on the New Brunswick campus.
"It's good to have a person in your corner and begin to build a professional network," O'Rourke said. Road to CPA runs sessions on accounting career options and CPA licensing requirements, as well as workshops to brush up on skills covered in the CPA exam, O'Rourke said. Students can also receive individual academic and career advising.
Learn more about the undergraduate admissions process at Rutgers Business School-New Brunswick and its collection of Road to Success programs.
Chou's mentorship experience led to an unexpected perk: an internship with Withum this spring. Barnett encouraged her to apply for it. "Her attitude convinced me she would be a good candidate," Barnett said.
Chou went through training and recently processed her first tax return. "I thought it was really fun and exciting," she said. "It's like solving a puzzle."
Chou is taking Income Tax Accounting this semester, and applying what she learns to her internship. The intern experience, meanwhile, has enriched her classroom understanding. "I like that it makes a lot of sense, that it's pertinent," she said.
She has lined up an auditing internship with Deloitte for the summer and is taking Concepts of Auditing now to prepare. She hasn't decided which area of accounting she'll pursue. After the summer internship, she said she'll be able to compare and contrast tax versus audit, a medium firm with a Big 4 firm." She plans to take another course, Audit Analytics, while she is doing the Deloitte internship.
Chou said she has wanted to become an accountant since high school when she took her first class. She worked for a small accounting firm, organizing clients' tax papers to make the CPAs' job easier, and subsequently for another, where her primary responsibility was finalizing completed 1040s for delivery to clients.
"Now I get to do the processing," she said of her current internship.

Toll tags show Kelley on the Dallas Tollway north on Jan. 10 near Eldorado Parkway in Frisco. Then on Jan. 12, Frisco police found her burned out car.
“Possible victim’s vehicle burned like this, in the vast majority, that’s a attempt to by a suspect to destroy evidence, whether it’s biological evidence, technology,” said Douglas Deaton, a criminal expert..
He said the next steps in finding her are “again it ... it would be begin collecting all evidence, electronic, digital evidence and speaking to any person who may have been acquainted with either the suspect or the missing person.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Black teen Ralph Yarl was shot twice, in the head and arm, after going to the wrong home in Kansas City, Missouri, to pick up his younger brothers.
Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old white man, told police he fired at honors student Yarl, 16, out of fear last week. But whether Lester will ultimately claim self-defense in court has yet to be seen. The case raises anew questions about race relations in the United States.
Here’s a look at what happened, where the criminal case stands, how the teen is faring and the role gun laws in Missouri could play in the case.
WHAT LED UP TO THE SHOOTING?
Yarl mixed up an address. Instead of going to 115th Terrace to pick up his twin brothers Thursday night, Yarl showed up at Lester’s home on 115th Street, at 10 p.m.
Lester told police he had just gotten in bed when he heard the doorbell. Before answering, he grabbed his revolver. Lester said he then saw Yarl pulling on the storm door handle, something Yarl disputes, according to the probable cause statement.
Lester told police he thought the teen was attempting to break into the home and he was “scared to death,” the statement said. Without saying a word, Lester fired twice.
Yarl said the first shot struck him in the head, knocking him to the ground. As he lay there, the second bullet pierced his arm. Yarl told police he fled as the homeowner yelled, “Don’t come around here,” the statement said.
Yarl said he went to “multiple” homes asking for help. A neighbor ultimately used towels to stem the bleeding until paramedics arrived.
WHERE DOES THE CRIMINAL CASE STAND?
Lester was charged with first-degree assault Monday and turned himself in Tuesday.
Some civil rights leaders have called for a hate crime charge, but Zachary Thompson, Clay County prosecuting attorney, said first-degree assault is a higher-level crime with a longer sentence — up to life in prison.
Lester also was charged with armed criminal action, which has a penalty range of three to 15 years.
Lester was to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon. An attorney was not yet listed for him.
WHERE IS YARL NOW?
The wounded teen is recovering at home, but his mother, Cleo Nagbe, said the trauma is evident.
She told “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King that her son is “able to communicate mostly when he feels like it, but mostly he just sits there and stares and the buckets of tears just rolls down his eyes.”
“You can see that he is just replaying the situation over and over again, and that just doesn’t stop my tears either,” she said.
Yarl’s classmates rallied for him Tuesday, holding signs that read, “We Walk For RALPH,” “Stop The Hate” and “Justice 4 RALPH.”
WHAT ARE THE RACIAL ELEMENTS OF THE CASE?
The shooting outraged many in Kansas City and across the country. Civic and political leaders including President Joe Biden demanded justice. Biden also invited Yarl to the White House.
Thompson said Monday that there was a “racial component” to the shooting, without elaborating. But Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Higginbotham clarified in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that “there is not a racial element to the legal charges that were filed.”
Still, some — including lawyers for Yarl’s family — pressed the racial dimension of the case.
Missouri NAACP President Nimrod Chapel Jr. said in a statement that a Black suspect would have been been in jail from the start.
HOW COULD GUN LAWS PLAY A ROLE?
Legal experts believe Lester’s lawyers will claim self-defense under Missouri’s “stand your ground” law, which allows for the use of deadly force if a person fears for his or her life. Missouri is one of roughly 30 states with such statutes.
Robert Spitzer, a professor emeritus of political science at the State University of New York, Cortland, whose research focuses on gun policy and politics, said the Missouri law provides “wide latitude for people to use lethal force.”
St. Louis defense attorney Nina McDonnell agreed. She said prosecutors have a strong case but the “stand your ground” defense is a “huge hurdle” to overcome.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — In the central Oregon city of Bend, the sole Planned Parenthood clinic serving the eastern half of the state is bracing for an influx of patients, particularly from neighboring Idaho, where a trigger law banning most abortions is expected to take effect this summer.
“We’ve already started hiring,” said Joanna Dennis-Cook, the Bend Health Center Manager.
Across the U.S. West, many abortion providers serving rural areas were already struggling to meet demand in a vast region where staffing shortages and long travel distances are barriers to reproductive services for women. Oregon alone is larger geographically than the entire United Kingdom.
Some facilities serving rural communities in states where abortion remains legal worry those pre-existing challenges could be further compounded by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as more patients travel from states where the procedure is banned or greatly restricted.
Anticipating an abortion ban in Idaho, Oregon lawmakers earlier this year created a $15 million fund to increase access to abortion services.
Northwest Abortion Access Fund, a nonprofit that helps patients pay for travel and the procedure itself, has been tapped to receive the first $1 million. NWAAF has worked with the Bend clinic for 20 years, and they are collaborating to meet the needs of a growing number of patients.
Dennis-Cook says her clinic is providing additional training for staff and modifying schedules “to ensure that we can accommodate increases in patient numbers” as more people travel farther for care.
Before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 20% of U.S. women already had to travel at least 42 miles to reach the nearest abortion clinic, according to 2014 data analyzed by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights, which published its findings in The Lancet Public Health. Across much of eastern Oregon, that distance can jump to nearly 180 miles. As more states move to enact trigger bans on abortion, distances could increase further for many patients.
Dennis-Cook says the Bend health center has been seeing patients coming from as far away as Texas.
Bend’s clinic has six exam rooms and receives about 600 visits per month. As it is “on the smaller side,” Dennis-Cook said it is “limited” in what it can provide.
“We only do first trimester procedures here,” she explained. She added the clinic can’t do procedures involving general anesthesia. “We don’t have a plethora of nurses who can do that type of work to draw from.”
Smaller abortion clinics, particularly ones in rural areas, have historically grappled with shortages of staff and doctors who can perform the procedure. This in turn affects scheduling availability.
Amidst growing demand for travel funds, NWAAF has already exhausted its planned operating budgets for this year, according to Riley Keane, a Practical Support Lead for the group.
“Last year we gave away about $1 million all told,” Keane explained, referring to grants given to clinics to cover abortion costs and travel funds provided to patients. She said this year NWAAF is “on track to double that potentially.”
Keane expects the $1 million from Oregon’s new abortion access fund will make “a huge difference” for NWAAF, which normally relies on individual donors. She says this year marks the first time the group is receiving government money.
NWAAF says it is concerned about providing travel funds to patients in states where abortion is banned or greatly restricted, but added it is working with legal professionals to assess the shifting landscape.
“They keep us up to date on things we need to be concerned about,” Keane said.
In response to laws such as those passed in Texas allowing private individuals to sue abortion providers, the governors of Oregon, Washington and California announced a joint commitment to protect patients and doctors “against judicial and local law enforcement cooperation with out-of-state investigations, inquiries and arrests.”
The three Democratic governors also said they will refuse “extradition of individuals for criminal prosecution” for receiving or supporting abortion services that are legal in their states.
NWAAF’s service region includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska.
Keane says NWAAF will continue its work for now. “Currently, our legal advisers haven’t told us that we need to stop operating,” she said.

AP Top 25: Georgia has No. 1 on lock, ‘Bama drops to No. 10
(AP) - Georgia tightened its hold on No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, with TCU climbing up to No. 4 and Alabama dropping all the way to No. 10.
The Bulldogs had their strongest support of the season after manhandling Tennessee in a 1-2 matchup on Saturday. Georgia received 62 of 63 first-place votes from the media panel in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank.
No. 2 Ohio State got the other first-place vote. Michigan moved up a spot to No. 3 and TCU jumped three spots to its highest ranking since late in the 2017 season.
No. 5 Tennessee fell three spots after losing on the road to the defending national champions.
For the first time in the College Football Playoff era, Alabama and Clemson lost on the same day and both tumbled in the rankings. The Crimson Tide (7-2) fell to LSU by a point in overtime to end up at No. 10 — their worst ranking since 2015.
LSU jumped eight spots to No. 7, the Tigers’ best ranking since they started No. 6 in 2020. That was when they stumbled out of the gate a season after winning the national title.
Oregon reached a season-high No. 6 and Pac-12 rivals No. 8 Southern California and No. 9 UCLA finished out the top 10.
Clemson fell seven spots to a season-low No. 12 after losing to Notre Dame. Last year, the Tigers fell all the way out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2011.
POLL POINTS
Alabama held on to its top-10 ranking and its streak of weeks ranked in the top 10. The Crimson Tide has a streak of 120 straight polls ranked no worse than 10. That is the second longest such streak in the history of AP poll, behind Miami (1985-93).
IN
— No. 18 Texas has yo-yoed back into the rankings this week and still has a chance to win the Big 12.
— No. 20 Notre Dame went from preseason No. 5 to unranked by Week Three. After taking a circuitous road, the Fighting Irish are back to being ranked.
— No. 24 Washington had a moment in September, then stumbled on the road. The Huskies are real tough at home and that’s been good enough.
— No. 25 Florida State was ranked for a week in October before a three-game losing streak. The Seminoles might stick around this time.
OUT
— Atlantic Coast Conference rivals Syracuse and Wake Forest departed the rankings after absorbing second straight losses. The Demon Deacons are unranked for the first time this season.
— Oklahoma State is also out of the Top 25 for the first time this season.
— Oregon State had a one-week stay after breaking a nine-season Top 25 drought.
CONFERENCE CALL
SEC — 5 (Nos. 1, 5, 7, 10, 11).
Pac-12 — 5 (Nos. 6, 8, 9, 13, 24).
ACC — 4 (Nos. 12, 15, 17, 25).
Big Ten — 4 (Nos. 2, 3, 14, 21).
Big 12 — 3 (Nos. 4, 18, 23).
American — 2 (Nos. 16, 22).
Independents — 2 (Nos. 19, 20).
RANKED vs. RANKED
No. 10 Alabama at No. 11 Mississippi.
No. 24 Washington at No. 6 Oregon.
No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas.
No. 22 UCF at No. 16 Tulane.

CLEVELAND – Myles Garrett will not play in Sunday's game against Atlanta, giving the Browns star defensive end more time to recover from multiple injuries suffered when he crashed his Porsche earlier in the week.
The All-Pro hurt his shoulder, biceps, had several cuts and bruises, and broke a blood vessel in his left eye when he lost control while speeding near his home. Garrett veered into a ditch, hit a fire hydrant and flipped his car several times on Monday after practice.
The Browns listed him as questionable Friday before downgrading the 26-year-old to out on Saturday before flying to Georgia to take on the Falcons. Garrett, who cleared concussion protocol, did not make the trip.
Speaking more softly than usual on Friday with signs of his accident apparent in an abrasion on his forehead and bright redness in his injured eye, Garrett said he felt fortunate to walk away from the wreck. A female passenger also suffered minor injuries.
"I’m glad that everything worked out in a positive light,” Garrett said. “We’re both healthy, both walking around. Just blessed with another day.”
Garrett has been cited numerous times by police for speeding in the past few years. He said the accident was a “wake-up” call and pledged to be more careful driving.
“I don’t think it takes something as drastic as this to tell me that I need to slow down,” Garrett said. “It’s about listening to my loved ones, hearing them out, and understanding that it is serious every time you get into the car."
Garrett was cited by the Ohio Highway Patrol for losing control of his car. Garrett told an officer he thought he was going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone. In a post-crash report, the highway patrol said Garrett was driving at an “unsafe speed for the road being traveled.”
The highway patrol ruled out alcohol, drugs or distracted driving as causes for the accident.
One the NFL's elite pass rushers, Garrett is one sack away from passing Clay Matthews for the team's career mark.
The Browns defense, plagued by communication breakdowns in Weeks 1 and 2, has been dealing with numerous injuries lately. Cleveland could also be without their other starting end, Jadeveon Clowney, who is listed as questionable for Sunday with an ankle injury.
Clowney sat out last week's win over Pittsburgh with the injury and hasn’t practiced. If he's also out, the Browns will start rookie Alex Wright and Isaac Rochell.
Top cornerback Denzel Ward (back, ribs) and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (groin) missed practice earlier this week. Starting linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury against the Steelers. Jacob Phillips will take Walker's spot.
“I don’t believe that there are backups in the NFL,” defensive coordinator Joe Woods said. “I just believe there are starters-in-waiting. Some of the guys are still developing and learning, but I trust those guys."
Before traveling, the Browns signed tight end Miller Forristall to the active roster from the practice squad, and elevated defensive tackle Roderick Perry II and defensive end Curtis Weaver from the practice squad.

Non-invasive prostate cancer screening solution offers best-in-class accuracy and stratified risk assessment
ANN ARBOR, Mich. , Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LynxDx, Inc. – a developer of innovative diagnostic solutions – is introducing MyProstateScore 2.0 (MPS2), a non-invasive, data-driven, urine prostate cancer screening test that provides highly accurate, stratified risk assessment insights to guide clinical decisions for patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE) findings.
Based on foundational work conducted by research scientists at the University of Michigan, MPS2 offers physicians and patients a highly accurate risk assessment to confidently inform the decision whether to proceed with a prostate biopsy. This revolutionary test is convenient, informative, and enables physicians to improve the accuracy of prostate cancer screening compared to PSA alone.
"MyProstateScore 2.0 is a highly accurate, non-invasive post-DRE urine test capable of assessing with accuracy a patient's individualized risk of having clinically significant prostate cancer. This insight enables providers and patients to determine the most appropriate next steps in the patient's care, as the path is unique for each person," explains Spencer Heaton, MD, MBA, Chief Medical and Commercial Officer of LynxDx. "Our goal is to offer the highest accuracy in the market through stratified intuitive results, avoid unnecessary testing and provide an improved patient experience."
About one in eight men will be diagnosed with cancer during his lifetime. The survival rate can be 100 percent if diagnosed early and contained within the prostate. To support this important public health effort, LynxDx originally developed MyProstateScore™ – the only test in the market capable of detecting the presence of the T2:ERG gene fusion, which is directly linked to prostate cancer. The revolutionary MPS2 now represents the next generation in risk testing by combining the specificity of the T2:ERG gene fusion with a supporting array of 17 other genetic biomarkers that support the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer.
Using these 18 unique biomarkers, MPS2 assesses the risk of prostate cancer with optimized, cohort specific accuracy: 95 percent negative predictive value (NPV) for biopsy naive patients and 99 percent NPV for patients with a prior negative biopsy. For biopsy naive patients, MPS2 is a standalone biomarker test. For patients with a prior negative biopsy, relevant clinical factors specific to a patient are included in the algorithm. This level of personalization provides a highly accurate lens into each patient's individual risk of clinically significant cancer.
"By using MPS2, clinicians can more confidently inform their patients whether or not a clinically significant cancer is present, or if their elevated PSA result was due to other factors. This is critical in determining whether a biopsy is needed as a next step in the diagnostic process," Heaton said. "MPS2 offers patients peace of mind and potentially life-saving early detection through a simple risk assessment test. Ultimately our goal is to apply evidence-based, personalized data to improve people's lives."

Using technology developed at the University of Michigan, LynxDx provides best-in-class diagnostic testing services to help people live healthy and productive lives.

VIDEO: Officers wrangle jumping goat loose in neighborhood
TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (Gray News/TMX) – Police in Utah worked with animal control officers over the weekend to help wrangle a loose goat.
The Taylorsville Police Department said the goat was roaming a neighborhood in Taylorsville on Jan. 8. Officer Griffith arrived alongside animal control officers around 11 a.m. and joined the pursuit of the goat.

NEW DELHI — A bus collided with a truck on a highway in central India, killing at least 15 people, police said on Saturday.
Most of the passengers were laborers traveling to their homes in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, Bhasin said.
The injured were taken to a hospital for treatment.
India’s President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted their condolences Saturday.
India has some of the highest road death rates in the world, with hundreds of thousands of people killed and injured annually. Most crashes are blamed on reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and aging vehicles.

"In Crypto We Trust" - From Lugano, after PlanB, is kick started a new campaign for companies operating in the Crypto market and want to accelerate their growth.
LUGANO, Switzerland, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- March 2022, the city of Lugano announced, through a partnership with Tether, that Tether, Bitcoin and LVGA (a stablecoin in CHF launched by the city) are now legal tender. This means that citizens can pay taxes, parking fines, tickets to public events and more in cryptocurrencies.
In Crypto We Trust, what opportunities and benefits for companies?
The campaign was carried out by iBooster, the reference agency for the development, growth and marketing of Crypto projects, based in Lugano.
In the light of PlanB and this communication initiative, we were very curious to learn more about the real opportunities, and advantages, for companies in the Crypto market, within the new Swiss ecosystem.
The Crypto and Blockchain industry is in its early life years and Lugano Plan B is a project that will allow all companies in the sector to find an ecosystem conducive to future development, populated by professionals in the sector but not only, able to support new companies at 360° from physical headquarters or coworking up to legal advice or marketing. Without forgetting the strength of the network, the potential of 50 or 100 companies in the sector that interact on a daily basis, is huge.
Companies have to build authority and value. Our customers are mostly startups, and what we do is building a growth path with them. Marketing is a fundamental tool for the construction of services and products to sell and to create an authoritative brand that the market trusts. I speak about trust because, especially in the crypto world, there have been too many alleged or real "scams" that have burned many investors. A new project has the burden of positioning itself and working to build a relationship of trust with the market, in a transparent way. In iBooster we are fortunate to be able to choose the projects to work with, and we first, carefully analyze the characteristics of each one, to then understand how we can help them in the growth.
Being in a hurry to get results is understandable, but, we must build a relationship with the target market and in this time has its importance. You can bet on a careful strategy to get visibility quickly, but then you must have a medium to long term plan that brings value to the project. Communicate correctly, use social media not only to promote, but to explain and create culture, involve investors and the public by creating a community that supports the project and that becomes the first marketing channel in effect.
We see too many ideas of value penalized by ineffective execution. The reasons are many, but certainly like any business, proper planning of actions and investments is the basis. An entrepreneur who wants to operate in the world of crypto must rely on professionals who guide and advise him in every aspect, because in this new sector they do not apply the rules of the "old" market, there are new ones and often change. Ignoring or underestimating some aspects can create that "suffering" that we are talking about. iBooster works to avoid problems, prevent them and exploit the opportunities that the market offers.

Sinema leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced Friday that she has registered as an independent, but she does not plan to caucus with Republicans, ensuring Democrats will retain their narrow majority in the Senate.
Sinema, who has modeled her political approach on the renegade style of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and has frustrated Democratic colleagues at times with her overtures to Republicans and opposition to Democratic priorities, said she was “declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington.”
The first-term senator wrote in the Arizona Republic that she came into office pledging “to be independent and work with anyone to achieve lasting results. I committed I would not demonize people I disagreed with, engage in name-calling, or get distracted by political drama. I promised I would never bend to party pressure.”
She wrote that her approach is “rare in Washington and has upset partisans in both parties” but “has delivered lasting results for Arizona.”
Democrats were set to hold a 51-49 edge in the Senate come January after the victory Tuesday by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia’s runoff election. The Senate is now split 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris the tiebreaking vote for Democrats.
Sinema told Politico in an interview that she will not caucus with Republicans and that she plans to keep voting as she has since winning election to the Senate in 2018 after three House terms. “Nothing will change about my values or my behavior,” she said.
She is facing reelection in 2024 and is likely to be matched up with a well-funded primary challenger after angering much of the Democratic base by blocking or watering down progressive priorities such as a minimum wage increase or President Joe Biden’s big social spending initiatives. She has not said whether she plans to seek another term.
Sinema’s most prominent potential primary challenger is Rep. Ruben Gallego, who has a long history of feuding with Sinema.
“When politicians are more focused on denying the opposition party a victory than they are on improving Americans’ lives, the people who lose are everyday Americans,” Sinema wrote. “That’s why I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington. I registered as an Arizona independent.”

Renal Care 360° partners with health systems, physician groups and local communities to provide enhanced community healthcare management services with a primary focus on patients in underserved, rural communities.
Pharos's investment, along with additional equity investment from the Company's founding shareholders, will be used to support continued growth of the Company's RC360° Connected Care Program, geographic expansion through acquisitions, and development of value-based care programs.

Once medical conditions are identified, the Company offers early interventions through its affiliated physician practices with personalized education, real-time engagement, local and virtual clinic options, and dedicated care coordination to slow disease progression and improve outcomes for chronic kidney disease ("CKD"), end stage kidney disease ("ESKD"), and other co-morbidities. Renal Care 360° is also raising awareness and improving education of kidney disease in areas most impacted by inequities in access to care, enabling its health system and physician group partners to proactively engage and care for their patients.
Jim Phillips, a Partner at Pharos, said, "With the nationwide push to reform kidney care through deeper engagement of the population's most vulnerable CKD and ESKD patients, we have observed Renal Care 360°'s use of machine learning to early-identify and intervene with comprehensive, compassionate care to be a uniquely impactful model.

Previously serving as CEO of National Renal Alliance, Vivere Health, and Ascend Health Care Services and in various Board roles, Mr. Cashia has extensive experience in scaling complex healthcare service organizations with a deep appreciation for the importance of partnering with physician leaders and clinicians to drive value-based care initiatives and improve patient outcomes.
Mr. Cashia noted, "We are pleased to bring in such an experienced, healthcare-focused partner to help Renal Care 360° rapidly expand its care model to touch the lives of as many patients as possible.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s consumer inflation surged to a 17-year high in August 2022, its statistics agency said Thursday, signalling more hardship for citizens and businesses in Africa’s largest economy.
The Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported in its latest consumer price index that inflation rose to 20.5% in August, up from 19.6% in July this year and 17% in August last year.
It is the seventh consecutive monthly increase in Nigeria’s inflation this year and the highest since 2005.
The rise in inflation was driven by “a disruption in the supply of food products, an increase in import cost due to the persistent currency depreciation and a general increase in the cost of production,” the statistics agency said.
The food inflation rate in August 2022 was 23.1%, the statistics agency said, blaming increases in prices of some of the most common food items in Nigeria including bread, cereals and tubers.
The 17-year high consumer inflation — more than double the Central Bank of Nigeria’s 9% target — draws more concerns of hardship from citizens and businesses in Nigeria, a country of more than 200 million people.
Despite being Africa’s largest economy and one of the continent’s top oil producers, corruption, insecurity and lack of good governance have caused economic hardship to many in this West African country.
Analysts also see “external shocks” from the war in Ukraine as a contributing factor to Nigeria’s growing inflation. With the rising price of oil and gas, for instance, “our importation numbers and payment of subsidies have gone up, impacting the price of retail petrol which is key to businesses in the Nigerian market,” said Ese Osawmonyi with the Lagos-based SBM Intelligence research firm.
The security challenges which have led to the death of thousands in the last year in Nigeria’s north have also further pushed food inflation higher by limiting supplies from some of Nigeria’s biggest food-producing states, said analyst Osawmonyi.
That is in addition to fears that floods — which have displaced many homes and damaged crops across huge swathes of farmland in Nigeria’s north — might further impact food prices.
The flour market is one of the worst hit by rising inflation in Nigeria. Some bakeries are now shutting down operations amid dwindling profits, according to Emmanuel Onuorah, who runs a bakery in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
“People are closing,” Onuorah said of the hardship faced by bakers and other businesses. “It is no longer profitable for us. You just sustain yourself.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A Jamaican cleric accused of recruiting support for the Islamic State group was convicted Thursday of state terrorism charges after being extradited to New York City following an undercover New York Police Department sting that went international.
Abdullah el-Faisal is due to be sentenced next month after his conviction in state Supreme Court in Manhattan on counts including soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said.
Bragg’s office said it was the first-ever state-level trial on terrorism charges. New York’s laws on terrorism were passed in the aftermath of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
El-Faisal, who had previously served prison time in Britain after being convicted of incitement and stirring racial hatred and had also been deported from Kenya, was arrested in his native Jamaica in 2017 and extradited to New York City in 2020.
Authorities said that beginning in 2016, an undercover officer in New York City posed as a would-be jihadist and started communicating with the cleric, who was living in Jamaica.
Prosecutors said el-Faisal, whom they described as highly influential, had supported the Islamic State organization for several years, encouraging violent acts in online lectures and calling for the creation of an Islamic caliphate.
Authorities said the interaction with the undercover officer, who ended up going overseas as part of the operation, led to the cleric giving out contact information for someone in Syria who would act as a conduit for connecting with the Islamic State. They said he also engaged in activities like trying to facilitate a marriage between the officer and a member of the militant group.
Michael Fineman, an attorney for el-Faisal, said he was “disappointed” by the conviction and planned to appeal. He said the cleric never actually agreed to help the officer travel to territory controlled by the group.
Federal officials have said el-Faisal’s sermons influenced people such as Faisal Shahzad, who tried to set off a bomb in Times Square in 2010, and Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called underwear bomber who attempted to blow up a transatlantic flight on Christmas Day 2009.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ginnie Newhart, who was married to comedy legend Bob Newhart for six decades and inspired the classic ending of his “Newhart” series, has died. She was 82.
Publicist Jerry Digney said Newhart died Sunday in Los Angeles after a long illness. No further details were available. The couple recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
Ginnie Newhart is credited with providing the idea for the 1990 “Newhart” finale that included a clever callback to her husband’s “The Bob Newhart Show.” The later show, which featured Newhart as a Vermont innkeeper, ended with him waking up in Chicago next to his on-screen wife from “The Bob Newhart Show,” revealing the second series to be dream.
Ginnie Newhart suggested the idea to her husband at a Christmas party that was also attended by Suzanne Pleshette, his on-screen wife in “The Bob Newhart Show.” That series ran for six seasons from 1972 to 1978 and helped cement Bob Newhart’s status as a legend of television comedies.
She is survived by Bob Newhart, 93, their four children, and 10 grandchildren.
The Newharts met on a blind date set up by actor-comedian Buddy Hackett, according to details provided by Digney.
The Newharts were close friends with comedian Don Rickles and his wife Barbara, frequently traveling together. In interviews, the Newharts said laughter was the secret of the longevity of their marriage.
Born Virginia Lillian Quinn, Ginnie Newhart was the daughter of character actor Bill Quinn, who appeared in “The Birds,” “Twilight Zone: The Movie” and had more than 230 other film and television credits.
Digney said a private funeral will be held for Ginnie Newhart.

We have been delivering industry-leading safety and reliability performance, executing on our sizeable investment programs, achieving regulatory outcomes that are constructive, and delivering results that have met our financial guidance, yet our relative share performance has not met our expectations, including over the past several years as we've been successfully executing our plan. Therefore, I have initiated a 'top-to-bottom' business review with the goal of ensuring that Dominion Energy is best positioned to create significant long-term value for our shareholders.
"We plan to review value-maximizing strategic business actions, alternatives to our current business mix and capital allocation, and regulatory options which may assist customers to manage costs and provide greater predictability to our long-term, state-regulated utility value proposition.
"We're monitoring what's going on in the broader economy. Like everyone, we are seeing inflation, supply chain limitations and higher fuel prices – all having an impact on customer rates and our balance sheet strength. We are keenly aware of the economic pressures that are affecting our customers and are taking seriously our core mission to safely deliver reliable, affordable and clean energy to our customers, while creating value for our shareholders.
"Our company has an incredible opportunity to invest capital in the coming years – in fact, well into the next decade – all to the benefit of our customers, the environment, our communities' economies, and our shareholders. These customer-beneficial programs are part of a diverse energy generation strategy to deliver clean energy while simultaneously meeting the need for affordable and reliable energy grids.
"However, we need to ensure that near-term economic and customer bill issues don't preclude the full realization of that comprehensive energy transition and related long-term capital investment.
"We expect to share updates on our fourth-quarter earnings call in early 2023 and plan to hold an investor day later in 2023 to update stakeholders more fully on our plan and the key value drivers of each of our business segments."
Guidance
Dominion Energy expects fourth-quarter operating earnings in the range of $0.98 to $1.13 per share.
The company has narrowed its full-year 2022 operating earnings guidance range to $4.03 to $4.18 per share, keeping the same midpoint of its original guidance.
Dominion Energy continues to target "single A" ratings for OpCos and "high BBB" ratings for the parent company (DEI).

Important note to investors regarding operating, reported earnings
Dominion Energy uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement of its earnings guidance and results for public communications with analysts and investors. Dominion Energy also uses operating earnings internally for budgeting, for reporting to the Board of Directors, for the company's incentive compensation plans and for its targeted dividend payouts and other purposes. Dominion Energy management believes operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's fundamental earnings power.
In providing its operating earnings guidance, the company notes that there could be differences between expected reported earnings and estimated operating earnings for matters such as, but not limited to, acquisitions, divestitures or extreme weather events and other natural disasters. Dominion Energy management is not able to estimate the aggregate impact of these items on future period reported earnings.

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American: ELLO) (TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel, today reported the publication in Israel of financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4% through its indirect 50% ownership of U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Dori Energy").
On August 24, 2022, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd.) (the "Luzon Group"), an Israeli public company that currently holds the remaining 50% of Dori Energy, which, in turn, holds 18.75% of Dorad, published its quarterly report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory requirements, the quarterly report of the Luzon Group includes the financial statements of Dorad for the same period.
The financial statements of Dorad for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its indirect share of these results (through its holdings in Dori Energy) in its financial results for this period. In an effort to provide Ellomay's shareholders with access to Dorad's financial results (which were published in Hebrew), Ellomay hereby provides a convenience translation of Dorad's financial results.
Dorad Financial Highlights
- Dorad's unaudited revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 - approximately NIS 465.5 million.
- Dorad's unaudited operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 - approximately NIS 24.8 million.
Dorad's financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 note that following the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in China in December 2019, and the spreading of the coronavirus to many other countries in early 2020, there has been a decline in economic activity in many regions of the world, as well as in Israel. The spreading of the coronavirus caused, among other things, a disruption in the supply chain, a decrease in global transport volume, traffic and employment restrictions declared by the Israeli government and other governments around the world, as well as declines in the value of financial assets and commodities in markets in Israel and around the world. Dorad notes that it is operating in accordance with the guidelines of the Israeli Ministries of Energy and Health on dealing with the coronavirus crisis, including preparations of the operation and maintenance employees of the power plant and shift work as required. Dorad's financial statements further note it monitors the re-spreading of the virus and continuously examines the options for action in the event of a material decline in its income as a result of the spread of the coronavirus.
Dorad's financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 further note that on July 28, 2022, the Israeli Electricity Authority published a decision titled "Annual Electricity Rate Update 2022," which, among other things, provided for an increase in the average production component of approximately 24.3% compared to 2021, applicable from August 1, 2022, that will remain in effect through the end of 2022.
Based on the information provided by Dorad, the demand for electricity by Dorad's customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing in that season. The months of the year are split into three seasons as follows: the summer season – the months of July and August; the winter season - the months of December, January and February; and intermediate seasons – (spring and autumn), the months from March to June and from September to November. There is a higher hourly demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and the average electricity consumption per hour is higher in these seasons than in the intermediate seasons and is even characterized by peak demands due to extreme climate conditions of heat or cold. In addition, Dorad's revenues are affected by the change in load and time tariffs - TAOZ (an electricity tariff that varies across seasons and across the day in accordance with demand hour clusters), as, on average, TAOZ tariffs are higher in the summer season than in the intermediate and winter seasons. Therefore, the results presented for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which include the intermediate months of April – June, are not indicative of full year results. In addition, due to various reasons, including the effects of the spread of COVID-19 and the economic impact of such spread and of actions taken by governments and authorities, the results included herein may not be indicative of second quarter results in the future.
A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 is included at the end of this press release. Ellomay does not undertake to separately report Dorad's financial results in a press release in the future. Neither Ellomay nor its independent public accountants have reviewed or consulted with the Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd., Dori Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.

The first round of showers and thunderstorms is already making its way through central Indiana this Sunday morning. All the storms have remained below severe weather criteria, but they did produce heavy downpours and quite a lightning show.
Frankfort was one spot that received more than an inch of rain (1.24″), and nearly an inch was measured in the Monticello (0.93″) area this morning. Not all locations around the state were fortunate enough to see heavy rain from this morning’s round of storms. The wave weakened as it moved east across the state, and it essentially broke apart. The totals today will greatly depend on the communities that see a thunderstorm set-up over them. There is a chance for more storms this afternoon.
After the morning showers move out, skies will rapidly clear out. At 9 AM, the visible satellite has our western counties already clearing out. The sunshine, the heat, and dew points nearing 70° will create a more unstable atmosphere over central Indiana. It will contribute to thunderstorm development ahead of a passing cold front and result in a severe weather threat this afternoon.
The eastern half of the state will have the highest risk of seeing severe this afternoon and evening. An enhanced risk (level 3 of 5) is highlighted over Indianapolis, Muncie, Richmond, and Rushville.
Any storm that fires up between 3 PM and 7 PM may become strong to severe. All severe weather threats are at play, including damaging winds (70+ MPH), large hail and isolated tornadoes. Stay tuned for updates from the CBS4 Weather Team and have ways to receive weather alerts this afternoon!

VIDEO: Bear spotted swimming at beach among summertime crowd
(Gray News) - Friendly reminder: If you see a bear at the beach, keep your distance.
Not everyone followed that advice this weekend. To be fair, they were probably dazzled by the sight of a bear swimming in the Gulf of Mexico at Destin, Florida.
A video appears to show a couple of beachgoers get close to it. The bear took the initiative in getting out of people’s way as best as it could, moving from the water onto the beach.
The National Park Service recommends keeping your distance from a bear.
“If a bear changes its behavior because of your presence, you are too close!” the park service said.
Among the U.S. Forest Service’s advice for coping with bears, the agency recommends not running away. Instead, back away slowly and stay calm.

Roger Penske ready for 300,000 guests in a full-capacity Indy 500
Indianapolis — Roger Penske motioned toward the turn four grandstands at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His father took him to those seats in 1951 and a 14-year-old Penske was instantly hooked by the sights and the sounds of “The 500-Mile Sweepstakes,” won that day by Lee Wallard.
It was the beginning of a love affair between Penske and the speedway that produced 18 victories for the owner of Team Penske and, in 2019, the unexpected opportunity to purchase the national landmark.
Penske, the Bloomfield Hills-based businessman, took ownership of Indianapolis Motor Speedway just two months before the pandemic closed the country, and only now, in his third Indianapolis 500 as promoter, can he throw open the gates and host more than 300,000 guests at “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
“I hope my dad is looking down and saying, ’Son, you did a good job here,’” Penske told The Associated Press.
Penske’s crowning moment comes Sunday when the hundreds of millions of dollars he’s poured into the sprawling venue will at last be on full display. His first Indy 500, pushed to August 2020 from its traditional Memorial Day weekend slot, was held in front of empty grandstands.

Penske was allowed to admit 40% capacity last year and welcomed approximately 150,000 guests in what then was the largest sporting event since the pandemic began. On Sunday, the crowd will be the largest since the sold-out 100th running of the Indy 500 in 2016, with late ticket sales trending closer to that threshold.
Penske would love a sellout. It would be a reward for the financial bloodbath he’s taken since Tony George approached him on the starting grid ahead of the 2019 season finale and said the one thing Penske’s money could never buy was now for sale.
Penske snapped up both IndyCar and the speedway that had been owned by the Hulman-George family since 1945; Greg Maffei, the CEO of Liberty Media, told AP that Penske outbid his company, which had completed its purcase of Formula One in 2017.
The pandemic has prevented Penske from turning any sort of profit — he’s pumped more than $30 million beyond the purchase price into bringing the speedway grounds up to his standards — and despite operating in the red, Penske has no regrets.
“We had a business plan and we were counting on over 200,000 people at our first 500,” Penske told AP. “But I look forward, I can’t look back. You don’t get any credit for what you did last year. I’d do the same deal again. I’m fully engaged.”
Penske is now 85, and on Wednesday, a drizzly day off at the speedway before the festivities get into full swing, “The Captain” was surveying every corner of the media center with a maintenance worker taking notes as he trailed behind. As Penske walked through the Pagoda Plaza, he called over to the man polishing the Chevrolet Corvette pace cars on display.
“Hey, Joe, thanks!” yelled Penske. “Those are your cars. Treat them like they are yours.”
Doug Boles, the president of IMS, said Penske has been working triple-time to prepare for Sunday. Staffers are accustomed to receiving calls at all hours of the day — even an unexpected office drop-in — as Penske wants the facility perfect.
“Roger is an unbelievably focused person on details and execution,” Boles said. “He has been an amazing steward through an unbelievably difficult time that he didn’t know he was going to get when he bought the speedway. He’s never complained. He used an opportunity when this place was closed during the pandemic to make this place better and it energizes everyone because he’s an energized leader.”

Penske refers to the fans who will begin pouring through the gates on Friday’s “Carb Day” as his “guests.” Every initiative is done to create a pleasant experience for those attending a Penske party.
“He doesn’t look at the speedway purely as a balance sheet,” said three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti. “He sees this as a treasured property that he’ll do anything to protect.”
Penske is also aware of evolving technology, changing times and a new generation of fans. A year ago, he backed the effort of an all-female team to ensure a woman was in the 2021 field, and he’s currently supporting both Ernie Francis Jr. and Myles Rowe in lower divisions in Penske’s quest to get a Black driver into the Indy 500 field.
Sustainability initiatives have been taken to make the 500 a more environmentally friendly event, and the Snake Pit party zone in the infield returns for the first time since 2019 with musical acts geared toward a younger demographic.
“Roger has a great balance of understanding how do you protect the history and tradition of the speedway — the things that were special to him when he first came here in 1951 — but also a great understanding that if we are going to continue generations beyond ours, we have to begin changes,” Boles said. “We have to lead in a way that’s going to get 25-year-olds excited about the Indianapolis 500.”
This Friday marks the 50th anniversary of Penske’s first Indy 500 victory as a car owner. Mark Donohue picked up the first of Penske’s 18 Baby Borg trophies, and that record number is displayed outside the Pagoda; Penske’s spot isn’t marked by his name, just the number 18.
“I am just so excited for him because I know how much he loves this place and he will always keep the best interests of this place at heart,” Rick Mears, who won all four of his Indy 500s driving for Penske, told AP. “After he bought this place, everyone felt so sorry for him because of the pandemic and not getting people in here. But Roger is always looking forward and he’s sitting there thinking, ‘Well this gives me another year to get the place ready.’
“When a full crowd pours in here on race day, that’s going to be one of the greatest moments of a very accomplished life.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Attorneys for Gov. Ron DeSantis have asked that a trial involving Disney be postponed until the middle of 2025, well after the GOP presidential nomination race wraps up and voters have picked a winner in the November 2024 general election.
In a Tallahassee federal court filing Tuesday, attorneys for the Florida governor, who is seeking the Republican nomination, and his appointees to a board that governs Disney World outlined a proposed schedule that requests an Aug. 4, 2025, trial date.
Disney claims in its lawsuit that its free speech rights were violated by the takeover of its governing district in retaliation for opposing the so-called Don’t Say Gay legislation DeSantis championed. In the same filing, Disney proposed a July 15, 2024, trial date, which is around the same time as the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Both sides also disagreed about when a motion should be filed asking the judge to make a decision in favor of one side without a full trial. Disney proposed filing its motion for summary judgment at the start of April 2024, while DeSantis’ attorneys said it should be exactly a year later, at the start of April 2025.
Earlier this week, DeSantis and his appointees to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, put it on hold or drop them as defendants.
The DeSantis appointees took over the Disney World governing board earlier this year following a yearlong feud between the company and DeSantis. The fight began last year after Disney, beset by significant pressure internally and externally, publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades, a policy critics call Don’t Say Gay.
As punishment, DeSantis took over the district through legislation passed by the Republican-led Legislature and appointed a new board of supervisors to oversee municipal services for the sprawling theme parks and hotels. But before the new board came in, the company made agreements with previous oversight board members who were Disney supporters that stripped the new supervisors of their authority over design and construction.
In response, DeSantis and Florida lawmakers passed legislation that repealed those agreements.
Disney sued DeSantis and the five-member board, asking a federal judge to void the governor’s takeover of the theme park district, as well as the new oversight board’s actions, on the grounds that they violated the company’s free speech rights.
The board sued Disney in state court in an effort to maintain its control of construction and design at Disney World.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — An election recount confirmed a staunchly pro-Russia Bosnian Serb leader’s victory over an opposition challenger who accused him of vote-rigging in the contest for the presidency of Bosnia’s Serb-run part.
Bosnia’s top electoral body announced Thursday the recount showed the contested Oct 2. election was won by Bosnian Serb hardliner Milorad Dodik. The Central Election Commission said the repeated count revealed numerous irregularities it had notified judicial authorities about but that none were on a level that would have changed the outcome of the vote.
The election included races for all levels of government in the Balkan country’s Serb-dominated and Bosniak-Croat parts, as well as for the joint central institutions that link the two.
Dodik declared victory shortly after polling stations closed, but his main contender, Jelena Trivic, insisted the vote was rigged and claimed she was the winner.
Dodik has been practically unchallenged as Bosnia’s top Serb leader for over a decade despite being sanctioned by the West for corruption. He advocates the separation of Bosnia’s Serb-run part, Republika Srpska, from the rest of the country and having it become part of neighbouring Serbia.
He used the election campaign to champion his secessionist agenda and his close ties with Russia. In September, he traveled to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and secure his explicit endorsement.
Dodik’s increasing anti-Western rhetoric has raised fears in Europe and the United States that the Kremlin might use him to create further instability in volatile Bosnia to avert some attention from its war in Ukraine.
Separatist ambitions among ethnic Serbs sparked Bosnia’s devastating 1992-95 war, which killed more than 100,000 people, displaced millions and shattered the country for years to come. A U.S.-brokered peace agreement that ended the war created the Serb and Bosniak-Croat entities, tied loosely by joint, multi-ethnic institutions.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin was getting nervous about Blake Snell’s pitch count in the seventh inning when Albert Pujols helped the skipper avoid what could have been an unpopular decision.
Snell held St. Louis hitless until Pujols beat the shift for a single with two outs in the seventh and the San Diego Padres beat the NL Central-leading Cardinals 1-0 on Wednesday night.
Snell (8-9) allowed two hits in seven innings on 117 pitches and struck out 13 to tie his career high. The left-hander’s brilliant effort carried the Padres to their fifth straight win and extended the rotation’s scoreless streak to 27 2/3 innings.
“I don’t want to say I’m glad somebody got a hit but I’m not going to let him throw 135 pitches this time of year and that’s probably what it would have taken to get through it,” Melvin said.
“You want a guy to be able to try to get a no-hitter but pitch-count wise he just wasn’t going to be able to make it at that point,” Melvin said. “There was a second hit and now you’ve got first and second and all of a sudden a base hit can tie the game. Look, everybody was pulling for Blake to do great things. I just don’t know that he would have had the pitches to actually do it.”
Snell said he was more excited about hitting 99 mph and wanted to talk to reliever Adrian Morejon, a hard-throwing lefty.
“In the sixth inning I was like, ‘Oh wow I’ve got a no-no going’ but I was so hyped up about 99,” Snell said. “The ball just felt really good tonight. It was just coming out.
“Morejon always talks about how he has all this velo and I finally hit 99 in front of him so I’m pumped,” the lefty said. “I was really pumped about the 99. Really pumped. Whatever happened, that was the highlight.”
Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner while with Tampa Bay, said this performance “was up there” among his best games. “It was good one. But we’ll continue to try to top it.”
The Padres have shut out the Cardinals in the first two games of the three-game series, keeping Pujols at 698 career homers.
San Diego stayed 1 1/2 games ahead of Philadelphia for the NL’s second wild-card spot.
The left-handed Snell had shut down Pujols and the Cardinals into the seventh, retiring the slugger twice and issuing just two walks. But with the Padres shifting the right-handed Pujols, the 42-year-old slugger drove a ball through the wide-open right side of the infield for an easy hit on a 3-1 pitch, Snell’s 107th of the game.
“He’s a good hitter,” Snell said.
“I thought if I got a quick inning there I might have gotten into the eighth,” he added. “Who knows. It’s just tough; 13 strikeouts, like it’s going to be really tough going nine without throwing like 140, 150 (pitches).”
Juan Yepez followed with a single before Snell struck out Paul DeJong for No. 13.
Josh Hader pitched a perfect ninth for his 34th save.
The Padres took a 1-0 lead when Austin Nola singled in Kim Ha-seong with two outs in the second against Miles Mikolas. Josh Bell was thrown out earlier in the inning trying to score on a grounder to shortstop.
Mikolas (11-13) allowed an unearned run on three hits in six innings, struck out six and walked two.
SOTO’S WALKS
San Diego’s Juan Soto walked leading off the eighth, becoming the first player since 1906 to walk 500 times before turning 24.
UP NEXT
Cardinals RHP Jack Flaherty (0-1, 5.09 ERA) and Padres RHP Joe Musgrove (10-7, 3.16) are scheduled to start in the series finale Thursday afternoon.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Rescue personnel in California have found a 75-year-old hiker who was lost on the same snow-covered mountain where actor Julian Sands is missing.
NBC LA captured images of Jin Chung, of North Hollywood, being loaded into an ambulance Tuesday afternoon. He had a leg injury and some weather-related injuries but was able to walk with assistance and was taken to a hospital, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said. His condition was not immediately known
The Sheriff’s Department launched the search after Chung didn't return from a hike Sunday on 10,064-foot (3,068-meter) Mt. Baldy.
Chung carpooled to the mountain with two others and made plans to meet them at the vehicle at 2 p.m., but Chung did not return, authorities said.
The sheriff's department said rescuers unsuccessfully continued searching for Sands on Mt. Baldy over the weekend.
"Helicopters and drones continued to use infrared devices during the search however, all were negative for any signs of Sands," the department's statement said.
Sands, 65, was reported missing Jan. 13 while hiking. Search and rescue crews began looking for him on the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
“No evidence of his current location has been discovered. The search will continue, weather and ground conditions permitting," a sheriff's department statement said.
Storms have coated the mountain with heavy snow and ice and searches have been thwarted by the threat of avalanches and foul weather, including powerful winds.
Authorities describe mountain conditions as extremely dangerous. Two hikers have died in recent weeks. One fell at least 500 feet (152 meters) down an icy slope.
Sands starred opposite Helena Bonham Carter in the 1985 British romance from director James Ivory, “A Room With a View.”
He also had major roles in in 1989's “Warlock,” 1990's “Arachnophobia,” 1991's “Naked Lunch,” 1993's “Boxing Helena” and “Leaving Las Vegas” in 1995.
Sands has worked consistently in the decades since with smaller roles in film and television.

Leumi to distribute a NIS 400 million ($114 million) dividend
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Net income in the second quarter of 2022 reached NIS 2 billion ($571 million), compared to NIS 1.7 billion ($486 million) in the corresponding quarter last year. Net income in the first half of 2022 reached NIS 3.6 billion ($1.03 billion), compared to NIS 3 billion ($857 million) in the corresponding period last year.
- Return on equity in the second quarter of 2022 was 18.5%, compared with 16.8% in the corresponding quarter last year. Return on equity in the first half of 2022 was 17.1%, compared with 15.5% in the corresponding period last year.
- Efficiency ratio in the second quarter of 2022 was 35%, compared with 42% in the corresponding quarter last year. The efficiency ratio in the first half of 2022, net of the results of Leumi USA, was 39.7%, compared with 45% in the corresponding period last year. The efficiency ratio during the reporting period and the second quarter of 2022 was affected by the merger of Leumi USA with Valley National Bank.
- Finalized merger between Leumi USA and Valley Bank - On April 1, 2022, the merger between Leumi USA and Valley National Bank was completed. As a result of the merger, a profit of NIS 645 million ($184 million), net of tax, was recorded (out of this amount, NIS 194 million - $55 million - was recorded during the first quarter of 2022, with the balance being recorded in the second quarter).
- Dividend - Leumi (TASE: LUMI) will distribute a NIS 400 million dividend ($114 million), which represents 20% of the net income for the second quarter of 2022.

The loan loss expense during the first half of the year stems from an increase in the collective provision, which was offset by collections.
- Net interest income in the first half of 2022, net of the results of Leumi USA, reached NIS 5.8 billion ($1.7 billion), compared to approx. NIS 4.7 billion ($1.3 billion) in the corresponding period last year, a 23% increase. The increase stems from a growth in the Bank's credit portfolio and from gaps in the CPI and interest rates from one period to another.
- Non-interest finance income in the first half of 2022, net of the results of Leumi USA, reached NIS 0.7 billion ($200 million), compared to approx. NIS 1 billion ($286 million) in the corresponding period last year. The income during the reporting period was mainly affected by the profit from Leumi USA's merger with Valley National Bank and from market declines.
- Total operating and other expenses in the first half of 2022, net of the results of Leumi USA, were down by NIS 116 million ($33 million) compared with the same period last year, a 3.4% decrease.
- Capital ratios - Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as at June 30, 2022 was 11.25%, and the total capital ratio was 14.00%.
- Sale of Leumi's HQ in Tel Aviv ('Beit Mani') - As part of the preparations to complete the transition of the Bank's headquarters to Lod in 2023, during April 2022 the Bank entered into an agreement to sell one of its headquarters buildings in Tel Aviv. This sale is expected to generate a pre-tax capital gain of NIS 524 million ($150 million), to be recorded in 2023.
Development of balance sheet items (a) :

- Deposits by the public as at June 30, 2022 totaled NIS 533 billion ($152 billion), compared with NIS 464 billion ($133 billion) as at June 30, 2021, a 14.9% increase.

DÜSSELDORF, Germany and ZANDT, Germany, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gerresheimer AG and Zollner Elektronik AG are pooling their market-leading pharmaceutical and medical technology expertise under a strategic partnership. Starting immediately, they will offer pharmaceutical, healthcare and biotech companies their conceptual design, development and manufacturing capacities for drug delivery and medical technology systems, including complete electronics, from one single source. Gerresheimer serves as the central point of contact for customers. The market-leading partners combine the expertise of Gerresheimer in innovative devices for the administration of medicines and medical technology systems with the globally established electronics expertise of Zollner. Together they want to further develop their expertise in the healthcare sector and open up new markets.
With this strategic partnership, Gerresheimer and Zollner are counting on the global trend toward electronic, digitally controllable and connected drug delivery and diagnostic systems. These include insulin pens, inhalators, like for people suffering with asthma, Point-of-Care systems and medicine pumps. The demand for medical and pharmaceutical devices with electronic components mostly for the treatment of chronic illnesses will significantly increase in coming years. According to studies, the market for digital and connected solutions for the treatment of diabetes alone is expected to grow to around EUR 11bn by 2025.
Zollner Elektronik AG is one of the world's largest manufacturing service providers for electronic and mechatronic components (Electronic Manufacturing Services or EMS). It generated revenues of around 1.9 billion Euros with just over 12,000 employees at 23 locations in Germany and abroad, 18.3% of that in the area of Healthcare & Life Sciences.
"The future belongs to digital treatment support with electronic systems and connected platforms," said Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer AG. "The partnership with Zollner helps us provide our pharma customers with innovative one-stop medtech solutions. For patients, using these solutions means better treatment and enhanced quality of life. At the same time, the healthcare system also benefits by way of permanently reduced treatment costs."
"Digitalization of medical devices is advancing at a very fast tempo. At Zollner, we are happy to have found an ideal partner in Gerresheimer for the expansion of our successful Healthcare & Life Sciences efforts," says Markus Aschenbrenner, Managing Board Member at Zollner. "Together we will expand access to existing markets, exploit new growth markets and support our mutual customers along the entire life cycle of the products."
Zollner and Gerresheimer have collected much cooperation experience in numerous projects. The electronics specialist in Zandt already supplies Duesseldorf-based Gerresheimer with components and assemblies for medicine pumps in Parkinson's therapy. Gerresheimer and Zollner are now further developing this cooperation and will act as equal partners for the healthcare system of the future. Through the integration of concept design, development and manufacturing, the products of both sides can be brought to market faster and more efficiently. Also gained is permanent, secure access to electronic components. The cooperation initially covers the development of inhalers for chronic lung disease sufferers, autoinjectors, ophthalmology systems and drug pumps, as well as contract manufacturing for these and similar devices.

Santa Barbara Stage is Set for an Exciting UCSB Arts & Lectures Season
2022-2023 Programming Slate Announced
While most of the world has been slowly rolling out of hibernation, the hardworking team at UCSB Arts & Lectures has been going like gangbusters to put together an impressive 2022-2023 season, featuring a world-class lineup of dance, music, theater, and speakers. The more than 45 events announced at the June 9 kickoff party include an exciting mix of big names (Yo-Yo Ma, Nigella Lawson, Wynton Marsalis, Mark Morris) and emerging talents (the Linda Lindas, Sō Percussion, Nrityagram Dance Ensemble, Jean Rondeau).
Rising Americana star Charley Crockett, a distant ancestor of the legendary Davy Crockett who just won the Ameripolitan Award for Best Honky Tonk Male, kicks off the season on October 2. The international independent music pub Spill Magazine describes the hyper-prolific artist as, “single-handedly bringing that old country forward to current times. He is not only modernizing the old genre, but he’s taking the old themes and giving them that current touch.”
The big opening week continues with DakhaBrakha, the world music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine, performing their electrifying blend of Ukrainian melodies and contemporary rhythms from around the world on October 6. This Ukrainian-folk-meets-punk group, about which NPR says, “This quartet’s name means ‘give/take’ in old Ukrainian — and that’s exactly what they do. Cabaret, jazz, rock, and hip-hop are all part of the band’s DNA. But they also explore all kinds of old Ukrainian folk styles, fed through the prism of the 21st century,” has called themselves “ambassadors of free Ukraine” for years. Their visit to Santa Barbara certainly couldn’t be more timely.
On October 8, the always-amazing A&L dance series begins with the local debut of Sw!ng Out, a group of Lindy Hop dance champs from New York’s Joyce Theater and acclaimed choreographer Caleb Teicher who bring the joy, fire, and fight of competitive and social swing dance to the stage with live music by the Eyal Vilner Big Band. Wear your dancing shoes to tap your toes to this one, as the audience is encouraged to jump on stage for the jam session that concludes the show.
Former White House adviser and founder of the Harvard Center for Public Leadership David Gergen concludes this compelling week of events on October 11, where he’ll discuss the qualities of successful leaders, including recent game-changers like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students, and the activists behind the Black Lives Matter movement.
“A&L’s 2022-2023 season of performances and public lectures unveils surprises and explores new ideas,” said Miller McCune Executive Director Celesta M. Billeci. “From opening week with Charley Crockett, DakhaBrakha, and Sw!ng Out to month after month of fantastic performances and enlightening talks, Arts & Lectures is once again the place to be.”

TOKYO (AP) — Global shares were mostly lower Friday in muted trading, as investors kept an eye on inflation and awaited the outcome of a Communist Party congress in China.
France’s CAC dipped 1.6% in early trading to 5,988.78. Germany’s DAX lost 1.4% to 12,584.52.
Britain’s FTSE 100 shed 1% to 6,871.64 as the Conservative Party was preparing to replace Liz Truss as prime minister within a week after she resigned on Thursday after a turbulent 45-day term, conceding that she could not deliver on her tax-cutting economic plans.
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is among several candidates expected to vie to take her place. Former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak and House of Commons leader Penny Mordaunt are others.
On Wall Street, the future for the Dow industrials lost 0.5% while the S&P 500 future was down 0.7%.
China’s ruling party congress is expected to wrap up Saturday with an endorsement of leader Xi Jinping remaining in office indefinitely. The meeting, held every five years, sets the national agenda for the next five and can signal possible changes in policy direction. One change that looks unlikely is an end to severe “zero COVID” rules that appear set to continue disrupting life and business activity for months to come.
In other developments, Japan’s core consumer prices rose 3.0% in September from a year earlier, according to government data released Friday. That was the highest increase in eight years. It would also have been the highest in more than 30 years if the impact of introducing and raising the consumption tax was excluded.
The Bank of Japan has kept an ultra-low interest rate policy, while the Federal Reserve and other central banks have been raising rates to counter surging prices. Until recently, the Japanese central bank had devoted its efforts to fending off deflation, or the continued downward spiraling of prices.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose to 150.93 Japanese yen from 150.15 yen, adding to pressure on the BOJ to tweak its monetary policy since a weaker yen amplified rising prices due to the higher costs for imports. The euro was little changed at 97.37 cents, inching down from 97.87 cents.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 declined 0.4% to finish at 26,890.58. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.8% to 6,676.80. South Korea’s Kospi edged down 0.2% to 2,213.12. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 0.4% to 16,211.12, while the Shanghai Composite gained 0.1% to 3,038.93. Shares rose 0.1% in Mumbai.
“The overall mood remains cautious, with the paring of gains in Wall Street and yields trending higher on a more hawkish policy outlook,” Yeap Jun Rong, a market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a report.
Investors remain concerned about inflation, since higher interest rates tend to discourage borrowing and investments, slowing economic activity. That could tip economies into recession. Corporate earnings remain a big focus.
The U.S. employment market remains strong, with the latest government data showing the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell last week and remains historically low.
The healthy jobs market is a sticking point since it suggests the Fed will have to persist in raising interest rates. The central bank has raised its key interest rate to a range of 3% to 3.25%. Just over six months ago, it was near zero.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude fell 81 cents to $83.70 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international standard, gave up 77 cents to $91.61 a barrel.

Ohio teen triumphs over SVT diagnosis with acceptance into college
By Taneisha Cordell
Click here for updates on this story
BARBERTON, Ohio (WEWS) — Autumn Boerstler and her mother, Elizabeth Meanyhan, remember their worst nightmare that turned reality almost one year ago.
“When I was in that hospital and like my heart rate, like, shot all the way up, my mom was like, right beside me. She looked over and I saw that pink look on her face and…I was like, hey, mom, it’s okay. I’ll be fine,” said Boerstler.
The now 17-year-old says she is still thankful to the Barberton first responders, who arrived at Boerstler’s home that day in May.
In just two minutes, their tactics saved her life after an arrhythmia heart attack, caused by her SVT diagnosis, before reaching the hospital.
“I just don’t want to see her go through something like that again,” said Meanyhan.
Yet, a similar nightmare replayed just weeks ago.
As Meanyhan explained, “she started having the same symptoms as before. Autumn recalled feeling the same flutter in her heart as she did last May. Rather this time, she was at a friend’s house.”
She said she immediately called her dad, who advised her to shock and reset her body using ice-cold water. While first responders were not called, Meanyhan says Boerstler did go back to the hospital.
“They did recordings on her. We’re just waiting on those to come back, but for the most part, the doctor said that everything looks reassuring.”
Despite the concern with not knowing when an attack will happen or how long it will last, Boerstler says she feels confident and is pushing forward. She and her mother are looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. Now overcoming her health and failing grades, Boerstler’s exhausting battle is being rewarded with acceptance into the University of Akron this fall, where she’ll study inclusive teaching.
“She has plans. She’s finally getting back on track in life. She’s doing great in school this year. She’s, you know, just really back on top of everything,” said Meanyhan.
Though her doctors will be close to campus at Akron Children’s Hospital, Boerstler’s doctor prescribed her a mobile EKG app to monitor her heart rate on the go. There are also plans to educate her teacher and roommate about SVT so they know what to do in case something happens.

Intercepts 206 AgEq g/t over 41 metres
VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: ASM) (NYSE American: ASM) (FSE: GV6) ("Avino" or "the Company") is pleased to announce further drill results from Phase 2 of its 2021/2022 exploration program.
These latest results represent assays from six holes completed below the current Level 17 mining area, approximately 1,850 metres above sea level at Avino Elena Tolosa ("ET ") area to define the continuity of economic mineralization at depth in the central part of the vein. The drilling results have confirmed the downdip continuity of widths and grades of the Avino vein extending significant potential to a depth of at least 290 metre down dip below current development.
"This ET area drilling below Level 17 is very encouraging and confirms our expectation that not only does the mineralization continue at depth, but it also contains significantly higher copper mineralization as is often the case with porphyry deposits", said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "Since 2019 following our sale of Bralorne, we have focused our resources on creating value at the Avino property by optimizing production, completing a complimentary property acquisition in La Preciosa and executing an exploration strategy focused on growing the resource base. To execute our exploration strategy, we have expanded our technical team, some of whom, are seasoned geologists having worked on large Mexican mining projects. Avino has been a consistent producer over the years, and we are excited by these high-grade copper intercepts encountered at depth within our permit boundaries and we will continue to pursue value enhancing exploration initiatives across our core assets."
To view an interactive 3D model that includes the results announced today use the following link or visit Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.'s website:
Current drilling results are 290 metres down dip of Level 17, the lowest developed point of the ET Area of Avino. We are developing a geological model based on the "near porphyry" environment. The persistence of grade continuity from surface down a plunge distance of over 800 metres (600 metres vertical) and base metal zonation supports the likelihood of a deep mineralized system and could possibly be linked to a porphyry centre."
Geological modelling is advancing to determine the potential geometry and controls of the mineralization. A second drill has been added to this program which includes a total of 13 drill holes for approximately 7, 000 metres of total length for 2022.
The Property contains numerous low-sulphidation epithermal veins (including the Avino vein), breccias, stockwork, and silicified zones that grade into a "near porphyry" environment within a large caldera. The caldera has been uplifted by regional north-trending block faulting (a graben structure), exposing a window of andesitic pyroclastic rocks of the lower volcanic sequence within the caldera. The Lower Volcanic Sequence is overlain by the Upper Volcanic Sequence, consisting of rhyolite to trachyte flows and extensive ignimbrites and intruded by monzonite bodies. The copper / silver ratio in the Avino vein consistently increases from less than 100 above
8 level to over 400 at 17 level and below. The direction of this increase plunges towards the east in the Avino vein, suggesting changing pressure and temperature conditions with depth at the time of mineralization and possibly reflecting a transition from epithermal to porphyry-style mineralization.
Six holes totalling 3,373 metres drilled were completed to investigate the continuity of mineralization in the central part of the ET Area. Five of the holes intercepted the mineralization within the vein and stockwork and are reported in Table 1.
Vein-type mineralization and stockwork with mineralization of Au, Ag, and Cu are found along the contacts between intrusive rock and an andesite and provide opportunities within the ET Area for the identification and delineation of additional mineral resources that remain open on strike and dip (see Figure 1 for the projections of the resource relative to the drilled holes). The Inclined distance of the Avino vein at the ET Mine from surface is approximately 520 metres as shown in figure 3. This recent deeper drilling suggests that the mineralization persists down dip for an additional 290 metres past the lowest developed mining level. Currently, the mine levels have a vertical separation of 20 metres, suggesting a potential further 14 additional underground levels may be required (depending on economic conditions) to mine the mineralization.
Selected high grade intercepts include:
- Hole Number - ET 22-01: 206 AgEq g/t over 41.0 metres, including 4,527 AgEq g/t over 0.19 metres
- Hole Number – ET 21-08: 226 AgEq g/t over 30 metres, including 617 AgEq g/t over 0.65 metres.
Details are shown in the table and images below.
Table 1 - Summary Drill Results (2021 and 2022 Deep Campaign)
Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, drill core samples were cut in half. One half of the core was submitted to the SGS Laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico, and the other half is retained on-site for verification and reference. Gold is assayed by fire assay with an AA finish. Any samples exceeding 3.0 gold grams/tonne are re-assayed and followed by a gravimetric finish. Multi-element analyses are also completed for each sample by SGS ICP14B methods. Any copper values exceeding 10,000 ppm (1%) are assayed using ICP 90Q. Silver is fire assayed with a gravimetric finish for samples assaying over 100 grams/tonne.
Avino uses a series of standard reference materials (SRMs), blank reference materials (blanks), and duplicates as part of their QA/QC program during analysis of assays.
Avino's projects in Durango, Mexico are under the geoscientific oversight of Michael F. O'Brien, P.Geo., Senior Principal Consultant, Red Pennant Communications, and under the supervision of Peter Latta, P.Eng, Avino's VP, Technical Services, who are both qualified persons within the context of NI 43-101. Both have reviewed and approved the technical data in this news release.
Avino is primarily a silver producer from its wholly owned Avino Mine near Durango, Mexico. The Company's silver, gold and copper production remains unhedged. The Company's mission and strategy is to create shareholder value through its focus on profitable organic growth at the historic Avino Property and the strategic acquisition of mineral exploration and mining properties.

Venus Williams has withdrawn from the Australian Open for an undisclosed injury she sustained while playing in a tournament in Auckland, New Zealand this week.
A seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, Williams received a wild-card entry into the Australian Open last month to compete in what would have been her 22nd major at Melbourne Park.
But the Australian Open said on Saturday the 42-year-old Williams had withdrawn from the tournament beginning Jan. 16. It did not provide specifics regarding the injury.
It continues a run of misfortunes for Williams, who last played at Melbourne Park in 2021.

A two-time Australian Open finalist, Williams injured an ankle and knee in that appearance when stumbling awkwardly at the net in a second-round match against Sara Errani.
Her best efforts at Melbourne Park came when she was beaten by her sister Serena Williams in finals in 2003 and 2017.
Now ranked 1,003, Williams said when granted the wild card in December that she was excited to be returning to Melbourne.
Sports
“I’ve been competing in the country for over 20 years now and the Australian community has always supported me wholeheartedly,” she said.
The five-time Wimbledon singles champion has struggled with injuries over the past two years and was restricted to playing just four tournaments in the U.S. last August. She did not progress beyond the first round in those events and ended her season when beaten by Alison van Uytvanck at the U.S. Open.
But she started 2023 on a positive note by defeating fellow American Katie Volynets in Auckland. She was then beaten by China’s Zhu Lin in three sets in the second round.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday doubled down on his proposal to turn Turkey into a gas hub for Europe after deliveries to Germany through the Baltic Sea’s Nord Stream pipeline were halted.
Putin floated the idea of exporting more gas through the Turk Stream gas pipeline running beneath the Black Sea to Turkey as he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of a regional summit in Kazakhstan.
It’s the second unlikely energy proposal that Putin has pitched in as many days, with European leaders calling Russia’s cuts in natural gas a political bid to divide them over their support for Ukraine. It’s created an energy crisis heading into winter that has fueled inflation, forced some industries to cut production and sent utility bills soaring.
“This is just another attempt by Russia to use gas as a geo-strategic tool to weaken EU and NATO countries,” said Simone Tagliapietra, an energy policy expert at the Bruegel think tank in Brussels.
Russia was “tempting Turkey to becoming an energy hub — a long lasting strategic aim of the country — while trying to create new divisions among European countries,” the analyst said, adding that Putin’s strategy was not likely to succeed.
A day earlier, Germany rejected Putin’s proposal to step up gas flows to Europe via a link of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline under the Baltic Sea – a pipeline that has never been operational. Moscow has cut off the parallel Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline over what it claimed were technical problems.
The Russian leader first voiced the proposal on Wednesday, saying that Russia could increase the volume of its gas exports to Turkey through the Black Sea pipeline.
“We could … make the main routes for the supply of our fuel, our natural gas to Europe through Turkey, creating in Turkey the largest gas hub for Europe — if, of course, our partners are interested in it,” Putin told a Moscow energy forum.
On Thursday, he said the hub could help regulate “exorbitant” prices. “We could easily regulate (prices) at a normal market level, without any political overtones,” Putin said.
“Putin is in a desperate situation. Nord Stream 1 and 2 are not operational and are unlikely to be operational for a long while,” said Mehmet Ogutcu, chairman of the London Energy Club. “Europe has made clear that it will not enter an engagement (with Russia) as long as the war in Ukraine continues.”
“Turkey remains Putin’s only option,” he said.
Ogutcu said Turkey was likely to tread carefully, wary of further increasing its dependence on Russia.
“There is a delicate balancing act (by Turkey). If the balance tilts too much toward Russia this will damage (Ankara’s) relations with the West,” Ogutcu said.
Erdogan did not comment publicly on the proposal but Putin’s spokesman, Dimitry Peskov said Turkey has reacted positively to the idea. Officials from Erdogan’s office could not immediately be reached for comment.
Turkey’s state-run news agency however, quoted Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Donmez as saying on Wednesday that it was “too early to assess” the proposal.
“Technically it is possible,” Anadolu Agency quoted Donmez as telling reporters at the same Moscow energy forum. “For such international projects, technical, commercial and legal evaluation and feasibility studies need to be conducted.”
NATO-member Turkey, which is depending on Russian for its energy needs and tourism, has criticized Moscow’s actions in Ukraine but has not joined U.S. and European sanctions against Russia. It has maintained its close ties with both Moscow and Kyiv and positioning itself as a mediator between the two. Ankara recently helped broker key deals that allowed Ukrainian to resume grain exports and led to a prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia.
Although Russia is still conveying gas to Europe via Ukraine, the amount has plummeted drastically with the two Baltic pipelines out of commission.
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline never came on stream because Germany blocked its operation just before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.

TOKYO (AP) — The United States will make full use of its military capabilities, “including nuclear, conventional and missile defense," to defend its allies Japan and South Korea, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said Tuesday as she warned North Korea against escalating its provocations.
Sherman said North Korea's repeated firings of ballistic missiles and artillery in recent weeks were provocative military actions. North Korea has described them as practice runs for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
“This is deeply irresponsible, dangerous, and destabilizing,” Sherman said in talks in Tokyo with South Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyungdong. The two officials met ahead of a three-way meeting with their Japanese counterpart on Wednesday.
It will be second in-person meeting of the three officials since conservative South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol took office in May, signaling an improvement in difficult ties between Japan and South Korea. A year ago, Japanese and South Korean vice ministers declined to participate in a joint news conference after three-way talks in Washington, leaving Sherman to make a solo media appearance.
Sherman said North Korea needs to understand that the U.S. commitment to the security of South Korea and Japan is “ironclad."
“And we will use the full range of U.S. defense capabilities to defend our allies, including nuclear, conventional and missile defense capabilities,” she said.
Cho, during his talks with Sherman, raised concern that a new North Korean nuclear weapons policy adopted in September increases the possibility of its arbitrary use of nuclear weapons.
“This is creating serious tension on the Korean Peninsula,” Cho said.
Sherman met earlier Tuesday with Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Takeo Mori and reaffirmed the further strengthening of the Japan-U.S. alliance and other shared goals, including the complete denuclearization of North Korea and their joint response to China's increasingly assertive actions in the region.
Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada recently said North Korea is believed to have achieved a miniaturization of nuclear warheads while significantly advancing its missile capabilities by diversifying its launch technologies, making interceptions more difficult.
Japanese officials have also warned of a possible nuclear test by North Korea in the near future.
The Japanese and South Korean officials met together later Tuesday and discussed ways to improve their countries' ties, which were badly strained over disagreements stemming from Japanese wartime actions, including abuse of Korean forced laborers and coercing girls and young women to work in brothels for Japanese soldiers.

Gov. Tony Evers directs $90 million more in federal funds to schools
MADISON - Gov. Tony Evers is allocating $90 million more in federal pandemic funding for Wisconsin schools, a plan that provides an additional $7.5 million for Milwaukee classrooms over the next four years.
Evers said the funds are aimed at helping school officials recruit and retain teachers, combatting staffing shortages that have emerged since the coronavirus pandemic began in early 2020.
"Yes they are federal funds, I understand that, but until there is a (state) budget we need to make sure that the people that stand behind me can do the good work," the Democratic governor said at a news conference at Leopold Elementary School in Madison. Evers, the former state superintendent and a former public school educator, is running for a second term as governor.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, both Republicans, did not immediately react to the governor's plan.

Republican candidate for governor Tim Michels, who is challenging Evers in November, said the plan was political.
“The fact that self-proclaimed ‘education governor’ Evers needs to make news on education with 70 days until Election Day shows that his anti-parents, pro-special interest education agenda isn’t resonating with Wisconsin voters," Michels said. "Evers wants his big checks to make people forget his big failures, but his disastrous record speaks for itself.”
In July, Michels said spending more money on schools is unnecessary.
"There’s no greater investment than the future generations of Wisconsin. The problem there is we’re already throwing so much money at education," Michels said during a debate hosted by WTMJ. "That’s been the fix, if you will, for the last 10, or 20, or 30 years, more money on education, more money on education, and it’s not working — the definition of insanity.”
The new funding for teacher recruitment and retention comes as school districts struggle to fill vacant positions. In Milwaukee, the district has 272 unfilled teaching positions — about 6% of its total.
The vacancy rates are worse for special positions added by a 2020 referendum, in which voters approved boosting the district's budget to fund certain positions. The district reported about 20 out of 29 referendum-funded teaching positions filled for art, 18 out of 40 for music, 19 out of 33 for physical education and 36 out of 39 for libraries.
The funds announced Tuesday come from the federal American Rescue Plan Act and will be distributed to public school districts and independent charter schools on a per-student basis. The additional funding amounts to about an extra $91 per student on top of funding schools receive through the state's funding formula, according to the governor's office.
About $75 million of the total amount may be used on staff or to address rising costs of supplies or busing students due to inflation, according to the plan. Another $15 million will go toward mental health services.
In 2021, Evers routed $110 million in federal pandemic relief funds to schools in response to K-12 funding levels set by Republicans who control the state budget-writing process.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in June 2021 that when the budget was signed by Evers that the level of K-12 funding was "reasonable" and "realistic," noting the budget ensured the state covers two-thirds of K-12 school funding.
On Tuesday, Evers reiterated his belief that Republicans should boost funding for schools further.
Districts already received three rounds of federal stimulus funds under the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, beginning in the summer of 2020. With amounts based largely on how many students in each district came from low-income families, Milwaukee Public Schools received more than $750 million.
These stimulus funds are largely being used to upgrade old buildings, update technology and provide tutoring and other services to help students catch up academically. Despite the windfall, district administrators have cautioned against using one-time stimulus funds for ongoing costs, like teacher salaries.

8-year-old cancer patient Delilah visited by singer of Plain White T’s
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK) – A young cancer patient in California got quite a surprise when the singer of the band Plain White T’s showed up to sing the band’s hit song “Hey There Delilah” in a moment that went viral.
Delilah Loya is an 8-year-old cancer patient who lives with her family in Bakersfield, California. However, throughout the year they have driven back and forth to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital for her treatments.
Delilah has been battling cancer for four years, according to her mother, Samantha Loya.
“They finally told us, yeah, she has stage four neuroblastoma cancer and it’s 95% of the bone marrow,” Loya said. “And they told us specifically, like, she’s going to have to fight for her life.”
Delilah has had over 30 rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments since then.
Loya said TikToker Isaiah Garza reached out to her hoping to make one of Delilah’s dreams come true.
“Finally messaged him back and I’m like, ‘OK, well ... how you want to help her, but sure let’s throw some ideas out to me,’ and he’s like, ‘OK, well, tell me ... some of the things she likes,’” Loya said. “And then when I told him that her favorite song was ‘Hey There Delilah,’ he was like, ‘Oh, I have an awesome idea.’”
When Plain White T’s singer Tom Higginson came to sing the song to her in person, Delilah said she was shocked.
“I was just like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and I just did this face,” the 8-year-old said as she made a surprised face.
The video has already been viewed over 15 million times.
Delilah’s second wish was granted in December. She got to fulfill her dream of becoming a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader.
“Delilah is very spunky, she has a big personality, she is super neat, she loves to organize as you can see her room, she loves to be outdoors and she’s a nature person,” Loya said.
The resilient 8-year-old also uses art to keep her spirits up and enjoys painting pictures.
“I mostly like to do, like, food ... spaghetti and garlic bread and grapes and strawberries and pineapple,” she said.
When she’s feeling up for it, Delilah will take her dad with her on a ride in her toy car.
“It’s a question I get asked a lot, like, ‘How do you do it? How do you guys do it?’ You know, but we have no time to really sit down and contemplate on how we’re going to do it,” Delilah’s dad said. “You know, we have to get up in the morning and let’s get this show on the road one more time, you know?”
Anyone interested in donating or requesting a painting made by Delilah can go to the family’s GoFundMe.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Greek coast guard ships opened fire on a cargo vessel sailing in international waters in the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coast guard said, escalating tensions between the regional rivals that have mounted in recent weeks.
There were no casualties in the shooting 11 nautical miles (13 miles) southwest of the Turkish island of Bozcaada on Saturday, the Turkish statement said. It added that after “harassment fire” from two Greek coast guard vessels, two Turkish coast guard ships went to the area and the Greek boats left.
Calls to the Greek Embassy in Ankara went unanswered Sunday, and it wasn’t clear why the gunfire occurred.
The neighboring countries have been embroiled in disputes for decades and frictions have ratcheted up in recent weeks, with both sides alleging airspace violations. Greek officials have raised concerns about another outbreak of conflict in Europe, following Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Turkey says Greece is breaking international agreements by keeping a military presence on islands close to Turkey’s Aegean coastline. It also has accused Greek air defenses of locking on to Turkish fighter jets during NATO exercises over the eastern Mediterranean.
Greece says it needs to defend its eastern islands — including tourist hotspots Rhodes and Kos, which are much closer to Turkey than to the Greek mainland — against its larger and militarily stronger neighbor.
Video footage from Saturday purportedly shows a Greek coast guard ship alongside the Comoros-flagged ship Anatolian as the sound of about a dozen gunshots are heard. A crew member speaks in Turkish, saying they are being attacked by the Greek coast guard.
The video, which was released by the Turkish coast guard and seems to have been filmed on a cellphone, shows what appears to be a bullet hole in a window and in the ceiling of the cargo ship’s bridge.
The Turkish statement said the gunfire was “in disregard of the rules of international law.” The 18 crew of the Anatolian consisted of six Egyptians, four Somalis, five Azerbaijanis and three Turks.
A Turkish prosecutor ordered an investigation. The country also has protested to Greek authorities, with Ankara demanding a swift investigation and explanation.
The Anatolian was anchored Sunday in the Dardanelles Strait off the Turkish coast, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
This week, the Greek government wrote letters to NATO, the European Union and the United Nations, asking them to formally condemn increasingly aggressive talk by Turkish officials and suggesting that tensions could escalate into open conflict.
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said the behavior of Turkey — also a NATO member — risked “a situation similar to that currently unfolding in some other part of our continent,” referring to the war in Ukraine.
The Marine Traffic website, which monitors global shipping, says the Anatolian was previously named the Mavi Marmara. Israeli commandos stormed the vessel — then a passenger ship — in 2010 as it attempted to break a blockade on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, killing nine Turkish activists, including a dual American citizen.
The Mavi Marmara incident led to a serious diplomatic rift between Israel and Turkey, which withdrew its ambassador to Israel and scaled back military and economic ties. Israel later apologized for the deaths and agreed to compensate the victims’ families.
In its entry for the Anatolian, Marine Traffic carried photographs of the Mavi Marmara with Turkish and Palestinian flags hanging from its sides. The website’s last recorded location for the Anatolian was in the Somali capital Mogadishu in late June.

The String Cheese Incident don’t know exactly how many shows they’ve played. It’s innumerable. They are infinite.
Keith Moseley, who has played bass and sung with the band since they first grew out of small ski towns in the mountains of Colorado, estimates that they’re at around 3,000 shows in total. In the 1990s they toured hard, racking up 200+ performances a year. They eventually cooled down to about 100, and nowadays, 30 years into their jam-banding career, they’re at about 50.
Yet, in all that time they’ve never played Billings. Until now. The String Cheese Incident is headlining night one of Magic City Blues on Friday, Aug. 4. They’ll be the last band up that night, which is a good thing, because these guys play long. They may have whittled down the dates, but they haven’t cut the performances short by a minute.
At Magic City Blues, they’ll be performing two sets, each typically comprised of eight or so songs, and lasting between 75 and 90 minutes. That disparity in that length is explained by one simple fact: The String Cheese Incident is a jam band.
People are also reading…
“A” jam band maybe undersells it. In a lot of ways they are “the” jam band, the torchbearer for the genre over their 30 year run as a band. Their tunes, performed loosely, with ample room for improvisation, touch a myriad genres, usually starting in bluegrass and expanding outwards, working in reggae rhythms, rock and roll backbeats and psychedelic experimentation.
“We cover everything from blues and roots and bluegrass and Americana to more dance oriented stuff, and Latin and jazz and whatnot,” Moseley said.
Their first year, 1993, came right as the Grateful Dead were nearing their end. That band basically invented the jam band phenomena, and reinvented the musical group as a sort of enormous family, all moving at once, an ecosystem unto itself.
“Early on, they were certainly a role model,” said Moseley. “We were all fans, and had experienced the live experience and there were certainly a lot of that influence. We wanted to create a sense of community like they did, and we want to go out and do things our own way.”
That’s why those two sets are necessary. They map out a setlist in advance, to make sure each one of the band’s multiple lead singers gets a song, but they improvise wildly on stage. One track can stretch for 20 minutes of noodling and vamping.
And while they’re not still doing triple digit shows a year, Moseley is confident that 30 years in, the String Cheese Incident haven’t lost a step.
“We’re really gelling musically as a band,” he remarked. “Everyone has stayed very committed to their craft. We’re sounding as good as we ever have, and we’re certainly having as much fun as ever, and I think that comes across.”
Audiences seem to agree. They just capped off a three-night run at Colorado’s Red Rocks amphitheater, the sandstone open-air venue near Denver that seats just under 10,000. That last show was their 51st at the venue, and they’ve been returning every year for as long as anyone can remember.
As part of the band’s commitment to independence, when they started recording they also established their own record label, SCI Fidelity Records. They’ve released every String Cheese Incident album on that imprint, as well as records by Umphry’s McGee, the Infamous Stringdusters and other jam-adjacent acts.
SCI Fidelity Records will add one more release this fall. “Lend Me a Hand,” The String Cheese Incident’s newest record, is their eighth studio album and first in six years. It drops on Sept. 8.
“We’re writing our best tunes,” Moseley said. The first single off the record, also called “Lend me a Hand,” features Moseley on lead vocals. And while it’s got the band’s trademark groove (you can just imagine them turning it into a marathon in concert), the instrumentation on the track is unplugged, a rarity for the group.
Moseley credits Brad Cook, the record’s producer, with pushing them to make the sonic change, going as far as to dub Cook the unofficial “seventh creative member” of the band.
“Everybody knows you guys are a great live act and jam band,” Moseley remembers Cook saying. “I want to create an album that sounds like the listeners are in the living room with you, and you’re just sitting around and strumming on acoustic guitars.”
“Lend Me a Hand” is more “song-oriented and “intimate,” Moseley explained. The band’s reputation as a live act precedes them, but they like the challenge of making a studio record, as well.
“It’s super enjoyable, but it’s a whole different experience” said Moseley. “It’s a chance to be creative in a different way.”
Speaking of being different, Magic City Blues has brought in a lot of various acts over the years. And a lot of folk return year after year, regardless of the lineup. But they’ve never had a group quite like the String Cheese Incident.
“Just come with open ears, and if you don’t like the first song you hear, wait for the next. Things change quickly,” Moseley advised perspective new listeners. “It’s always fun to play to new fans in a festival setting where there are people who haven’t seen the band much. We try to give them a good cross section of what we do. I know it’ll be fun.”

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A person died Tuesday morning after officers used a stun gun to apprehend the individual, according to the Raleigh Police Department.
The News & Observer reported that officers were patrolling in Southeast Raleigh when they came across a suspicious vehicle and decided to make an arrest. Police did not provide details about the person or circumstances of the arrest.
“The subject ran from officers," Police Chief Estella Patterson said Tuesday at City Hall. "During that time, officers tried to get the individual in custody. They resisted, and a taser was deployed.”
Patterson said the person became unresponsive after being tased and handcuffed, and officers used “life-saving measures.” The person later died in the hospital. Their identity wasn't immediately released.
The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the matter, as is typical in use-of-force cases. Police will also produce a report for the city manager on what happened within five business days.
Six officers have been placed on administrative duty in relation to the death.
“I will tell you,” Patterson said, “any time there is a loss of life, that is taken very seriously by this police department.”

TORONTO — Rory McIlroy won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and gave the PGA Tour a strong response to the start of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational, closing with an 8-under 62 to win a wild race to the finish with Justin Thomas and Tony Finau.
McIlroy had his first title defense on the PGA Tour, even if he had to wait for it. He won golf’s fourth-oldest national open in 2019 at Hamilton Golf & Country Club, only for the the COVID-19 pandemic to cancel the next two editions.
Thomas pushed him to the end at St. George’s Golf & Country Club, and the tournament effectively ended on the 17th hole. McIlroy and Thomas were tied and in the rough. McIlroy hit a wedge that rolled out to tap-in range, while Thomas missed a 10-foot par putt, a two-shot swing. Thomas closed with a pair of bogeys and still shot 64.
McIlroy finished at 19-under 261 for a two-stroke victory.
“I feel like it’s getting tougher and tougher to win on the PGA Tour,” McIlroy said. “Just look at the two guys that I played with today. I went out with a lead and had to shoot 8-under par to get the job done. So the depth of talent on this tour is really, really impressive. And going up against guys like J.T. and Tony and coming out on top, that’s something to feel really good about.”
Finau holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 64 to finish second alone.
“Rory played great,” Finau said. “He closed it out and hat’s off to him on a week like this. That’s fantastic playing on the weekend. I played great, he just played a couple shots better.”
Thomas was third at 14 under. Justin Rose matched the tournament- and course-record with a 60 — with three eagles and three bogeys — to tie for fourth with Sam Burns (65) at 14 under.
A week before the U.S. Open, the Canadian crowd was enormous having been kept away since 2019, and thousands surrounded the 18th green as the threesome of McIlroy, Thomas and Finau finished.
“It was really cool to be a part of and just really happy to get the win today and obviously sets me up well going into next week in Boston,” McIlroy said. “But right now I just want to enjoy this and focus on this.”
McIlroy has been one of the strongest opponents of the LIV Golf series and spoke out against the money being paid to players like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. Greg Norman, who runs the LIV Golf, said in a story in the Washington Post that McIlroy had been “brainwashed” by the PGA Tour.
McIlroy won for the second time this season, adding to his October win in Las Vegas in the CJ Cup. He won for the 21st time on the PGA Tour.
“This is a day I’ll remember for a long, long time,” McIlroy said soon after the victory. “Twenty-one PGA Tour wins, one more than somebody else.”
It was a dig at Norman, who had 20 career tour wins.
McIlory repeated the jab later in the his main interview session when his victory total and accomplishments were noted in his introduction, saying: “And one more than Norman.”
“I had extra motivation of what’s going on across the pond,” McIlroy said. “The guy that’s spearheading that tour has 20 wins on the PGA Tour and I was tied with him and I wanted to get one ahead of him. And I did. So, that was really cool for me, just a little sense of pride on that one.”
Rose was 11 under with three holes to play. He bogeyed the 16th, hit to 2 feet on 17 for birdie, then went over the green on 18 and missed an 18-foot par putt. Carl Pettersson also shot 60 at St. George’s in his 2010 victory.
“I’m totally disappointed, because you know what’s at stake, for sure,” Rose said. “I never shot 59 before, so it would have been a lovely footnote on the week.”
He regretted hitting an 8-iron instead of a 9-iron on 18 with 159 yards to the pin..
“I don’t know how much was in my control or not, but we were right in between two clubs and I went the wrong way on a decision and paid the price for it,” he said.
Corey Conners was the top Canadian, shooting a 62 to finish sixth at 12 under.
“Felt like the last few days I played really solidly,” Conners said. “Just last few weeks even, just hadn’t maximized the game, hadn’t got as much out of the game as I wanted. Definitely, nice to have low round today. Played really well. Definitely, felt it coming.”

TORONTO (AP) — Days after being blindsided by the PGA Tour’s partnership with Saudi Arabia’s wealth fund, Rory McIlroy put himself in position for a run at a third straight Canadian Open title.
McIlroy, the strongest voice against Saudi-funded LIV Golf who said Wednesday he feels like a “sacrificial lamb,” shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday at tree-lined Oakdale, leaving him two strokes behind leader C.T. Pan.
The four-time major champion from Northern Ireland won in 2019 in at Hamilton, then — after the event was canceled for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic — won last year in Toronto at St. George’s amid a flurry of LIV Golf controversy. He was asked if it meant a bit more again — with the news Tuesday.
“Look, I would love to win the Canadian Open for the third time. I’ve never won a tournament three times in a row,” McIlroy said. “I felt like last year the win wasn’t just for me it was for a few other things. But this one, this year, if I were able to get over the line, will be solely for me.”
Pan, from Taiwan, birdied the final two holes for a 66 to get to 14-under 202. The 31-year-old former University of Washington player won the 2019 RBC Heritage for his lone PGA Tour title.
“It’s always cool to see my name on the top of the leaderboard,” Pan said. “Not just leaderboards, just to be in contention. That’s all I want to do before the tournament started. Finished birdie-birdie. That put me in a good spot. But I still got a lot of work to do.”
Ranked third, McIlroy is chasing his 32nd worldwide victory a week before the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
“For whatever reason I seem to play better when there’s a little bit of noise going in the world of golf,” McIlroy said. “It’s really nice to get inside the ropes and just concentrate on my job at the end of the day, which is trying to get the ball around the golf course.”
McIlroy birdied Nos. 11, 12 and 13, then parred the last five.
“The putter went a little cold on me over those last five holes,” McIlroy said. “But overall, it’s great to put myself in with a shot tomorrow. There’s a lot of people up there around the lead, so it’s going to be a fun day.”
Englishmen Tommy Fleetwood (64) and Justin Rose (66) — McIlroy’s European Ryder Cup teammates — also were two strokes back at 12 under along with Mark Hubbard (66), Harry Higgs (67) and Andrew Novak (67).
Nick Taylor was the top Canadian, shooting a course-record 63 on the composite layout at the historic 27-hole facility to get to 11 under. He’s trying to become the first Canadian winner since Pat Fletcher in 1954.
Aaron Rai also was 11 under after a 69. Canadian Corey Conners was another stroke back after a 70.
Second-round leader Carl Yuan of China had a 74 to drop into a tie for 16th at 7 under.
Former top-ranked amateur Ludvig Aberg, the Swede who starred at Texas Tech, was tied for 33rd at 4 under after a 71 in his pro debut.

HIALEAH, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman is suing the Kraft Heinz Food Company for $5 million, claiming they misled the public about the time it takes to prepare its Velveeta microwavable mac and cheese cups.
Court records show that a West Palm Beach-based law firm filed the lawsuit on behalf of Amanda Ramirez in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on Nov. 18.
Ramirez is listed as the main plaintiff for the class-action suit, which alleges Kraft Heinz violated federal law by saying Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups take 3½ minutes to prepare.
“Ready in 3½ minutes” is printed on the box, which is the amount of time the product takes to cook in a microwave. However, the suit says it takes more time to complete the other required steps.
This is how the lawsuit describes the cooking process:
- “First, consumers must ‘REMOVE lid and Cheese Sauce Pouch.’
- Next, they must ‘ADD water to fill line in cup. STIR.’
- Third, ‘MICROWAVE, uncovered, on HIGH 3-1/2 min. DO NOT DRAIN.’
- Finally, they should ‘STIR IN contents of cheese sauce pouch.’
- Defendant then notes that ‘CHEESE SAUCE WILL THICKEN UPON STANDING’.”
“Consumers seeing ‘ready in 3½ minutes’ will believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the Product,” the suit states. “Meaning from the moment it is unopened to the moment it is ready for consumption.”
The lawsuit claims Ramirez bought the product for a “premium price” of $10.99 “between October and November 2022, among other times.” However, it did not say how long it actually took Ramirez to prepare the mac and cheese.
The suit described Ramirez as someone who “looks to bold statements of value when quickly selecting groceries” and is “like many consumers who seek to stretch their money as far as possible when buying groceries.”
The plaintiffs are seeking at least $5 million in damages, “including statutory and punitive exclusive of interest and costs.”
Nexstar’s WFLA has reached out to the Kraft Heinz Food Company for comment about the lawsuit, but did not immediately hear back.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Thursday raised political donation limits to account for historic inflation, boosting the potential influence of wealthy donors in the 2024 election cycle.
A single donor can now give $6,600 to each federal candidate — $3,300 per election, including the primary and general election contests — up from $5,800 in the 2022 cycle.
Donation limits to party committees such as the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee also rose. A single donor can now give nearly $2 million to their preferred party committees per election cycle, an increase of around $230,000 from last year’s midterms.
Wealthy donors regularly make maximum donations to political candidates and party committees to gain influence with lawmakers.
Just 10 individuals donated a combined $540 million to federal candidates in the midterm elections. Most of that money went to super PACs that can raise and spend unlimited sums of money but are not supposed to coordinate with candidates.
Federal candidates and political committees spent an estimated $8.9 billion in the 2022 election cycle, according to nonpartisan research group OpenSecrets, an all-time midterm record.
Federal law requires the FEC to raise contribution limits every other year in accordance with inflation, which peaked in June at 9.1 percent, the highest annual rate in four decades.
The contribution limit for PACs has remained at $5,000 for decades and is not indexed for inflation, lessening the influence of corporate PACs as individual limits rise.

Biden: US would intervene militarily to defend Taiwan
TOKYO (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is “even stronger’ after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.
Biden, at a news conference in Tokyo, said “yes” when asked if he was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if China invaded. “That’s the commitment we made,” he added.
The U.S. traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defense treaty, instead maintaining a policy of “strategic ambiguity” about how far it would be willing to go if China invaded. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily to defend Taiwan if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status in Taiwan by Beijing.
Biden’s comments drew a sharp response from the mainland, which has claimed Taiwan to be a rogue province.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin expressed “strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition” to Biden’s comments. “China has no room for compromise or concessions on issues involving China’s core interests such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
He added, “China will take firm action to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests, and we will do what we say.”
A White House official said Biden’s comments did not reflect a policy shift.
Speaking alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Biden said any effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate,” adding that it “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.”
China has stepped up its military provocations against democratic Taiwan in recent years aimed at intimidating it into accepting Beijing’s demands to unify with the communist mainland.
“They’re already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the maneuvers that are undertaken,” Biden said of China.
Under the “one China” policy, the U.S. recognizes Beijing as the government of China and doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However, the U.S. maintains unofficial contacts including a de facto embassy in Taipei, the capital, and supplies military equipment for the island’s defense.
Biden said it is his “expectation” that China would not try to seize Taiwan by force, but he said that assessment “depends upon just how strong the world makes clear that that kind of action is going to result in long-term disapprobation by the rest of the community.”
He added that deterring China from attacking Taiwan was one reason why it’s important that Russian President Vladimir Putin “pay a dear price for his barbarism in Ukraine,” lest China and other nations get the idea that such action is acceptable.
Fearing escalation with nuclear-armed Russia, Biden quickly ruled out putting U.S. forces into direct conflict with Russia, but he has shipped billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance that has helped Ukraine put up a stiffer-than-expected resistance to Russia’s onslaught.
Taipei cheered Biden’s remarks, with Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Joanne Ou expressing “sincere welcome and gratitude” for the comments.
“The challenge posed by China to the security of the Taiwan Strait has drawn great concern in the international community,” said Ou. “Taiwan will continue to improve its self-defense capabilities, and deepen cooperation with the United States and Japan and other like-minded countries to jointly defend the security of the Taiwan Strait and the rules-based international order, while promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.”
It’s not the first time Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack, only for administration officials to later claim there had been no change to American policy. In a CNN town hall in October, Biden was asked about using the U.S. military to defend Taiwan and replied, “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.”
Biden’s comments came just before he formally launched a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact that excludes Taiwan.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed Sunday that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which is meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption.
Inclusion of Taiwan would have irked China.
Sullivan said the U.S. wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan on a one-to-one basis.

MIAMI (AP) — Many people evacuated from vulnerable locations in the northwestern Bahamas as Tropical Storm Nicole approached Wednesday and residents of Florida braced for the storm, which could strengthen to a hurricane.
Nicole was expected to be the first storm to make landfall in the Bahamas since Hurricane Dorian, a devastating Category 5 storm that hit the archipelago in 2019, before hitting storm-weary Florida on Wednesday night and moving into Georgia on Thursday.
In the Bahamas, officials said early Wednesday that only a few people were in the more than two dozen shelters that opened.
“We are asking people to please take it (seriously),” said Andrea Newbold with the Disaster Management Unit for Social Services. “Don’t wait until the last minute.”
Residents in at least three Florida counties — Flagler, Palm Beach and Volusia — were ordered to evacuate from barrier islands, low-lying areas and mobile homes. The evacuation orders went into effect Wednesday morning. Officials at Orlando International Airport, the seventh busiest in the U.S., said commercial operations would stop Wednesday afternoon until it was safe to resume flights. And Palm Beach International Airport planned to close.
Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis, who is at the COP27 U.N. Climate Summit, said he has mobilized all government resources as the storm nears.
“There have always been storms, but as the planet warms from carbon emissions, storms are growing in intensity and frequency,” he said. “For those in Grand Bahama and Abaco, I know it is especially difficult for you to face another storm,” Davis said, referring to the hardest hit islands by Dorian.
At 7 a.m., the storm was 60 miles (100 kilometers) east northeast of Great Abaco Island and about 240 miles (385 kilometers) east of West Palm Beach, Florida. With maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kmh), the storm was moving at 13 mph (20 kmh).
New warnings and watches were issued for many parts of Florida, including the southwestern Gulf coastline which was devastated by Hurricane Ian, which struck as a Category 4 storm on Sept. 28. The storm destroyed homes and damaged crops, including orange groves, across the state.
Ian lashed much of the central region of Florida with heavy rainfall, causing flooding that many residents are still dealing with as Nicole approaches. Forecasters at the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said the storm could reach hurricane strength before making landfall in Florida.
The storm is then expected to move across central and northern Florida into southern Georgia on Thursday, forecasters said. It was then expected to move across the Carolinas on Friday.
In preparation, many school districts in Florida canceled classes on Wednesday and Thursday.
Early Wednesday, President Joe Biden declared an emergency in Florida and ordered federal assistance to supplement state, tribal and local response efforts to the approaching storm. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is still responding to those in need from Hurricane Ian.
