The temptation when choosing gardening clothes is to compromise. After all, you're working outside, in the soil. Anything you wear is bound to get dirty.
When I started gardening, I wore old clothes, figuring I would use them up. Once that was a pair of jeans that kept falling down while I worked. Another time, I wore white jeans that were very much on their last legs. I thought I was being practical. Two gardening friends came by and struggled to conceal their disapproval of my choice. They tried to be polite and not say what was on their minds: Who wears white to garden? We laughed about it later.
The more I gardened, the more I came to revere the garden -- and the more carefully I chose what to wear. These days, I opt for old favorites: broken-in jeans, cozy sweaters that don't itch and jackets suited to the elements.
I also take care with the clothing I choose for my scarecrow Herb, named after a character from Reginald Arkell's "Old Herbaceous: A Novel of the Garden." The novel, set in Victorian England, follows Herbert Pinnegar from his youth as a village orphan until his old age. He is given a pair of corduroys when he becomes a gardener at an English estate.
To him, this new attire was a burden, not a blessing. "That was the trouble with corduroy -- it lasted forever," Arkell wrote. "Young Pinnegar's main object in life was to get out of corduroy." I, for one, like corduroy, and I gave my scarecrow Herb some inexpensive corduroy pants. A few years later, although faded somewhat from the sunlight, the pants still look new. Herb also has two shirts: orange plaid for fall, blue plaid for spring.
The choice of what to wear in the garden is as varied as the choice of what to plant. Author E.B. White observed that his wife, New Yorker editor Katharine White, took a nonchalant approach to garden fashion. "I seldom saw her prepare for gardening, she merely wandered out into the cold and the wet, into the sun and the warmth, wearing whatever she had put on that morning," he wrote. "Once she was drawn into the fray, once involved in transplanting or weeding or thinning or pulling deadheads, she forgot all else; her clothes had to take things as they came ... . She simply refused to dress down to a garden: she moved in elegantly and walked among her flowers as she walked among her friends -- nicely dressed, perfectly poised."
Others prefer a casual, even quirky look. "My mother used to garden semi-naked," Australian writer Germaine Greer wrote, "with an old pair of knickers wrapped around her hair to keep the dust out. In colder weather, she would rope up a pair of father's old trousers and put on a cardigan back to front. Thus attired, she felt ready for anything."
Gloves, too, are a subject of some debate among gardeners. I find them valuable when the sun is bright or the cold is biting. But otherwise, I prefer working with bare hands, following the Roy Strong approach. "Having struggled for years with my hands made elephantine and awkward by being encased in leather, I now opt for buying bundles of bright yellow stretch-vinyl ones when I can find them," he wrote. "But, I have to confess, most of the time I don't wear gloves at all because I love the feel of everything from petal, to leaf, to the earth itself. The result is gardener's hands, I'm afraid -- but who cares?"
Who cares, indeed. Gardening affords a level of comfort absent from most other settings. The old white jeans, the vinyl gloves, the rumpled flannel -- the garden passes no judgment, and fashion wins no favor. "There's not time for fashion in the garden," Strong wrote, "which is such a relief."
I sometimes remind myself that the world's most famous gardeners, Adam and Eve, wore nothing while cultivating Eden. Of course, modern gardeners won't be quite so lax, but the principle remains unchanged: The garden is a sanctuary where you get to make the decisions. Whether dressed up or down, in castoffs or corduroy, loose pants or knickers wrapped around hair, it's your garden. Obviously, anything goes.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Thousands of people continue to gather at the 73rd annual California Mid State Fair and it has created an influx of clientele for local businesses in the community.
With the music industry’s top performers stopping by the fair, it helps bring in more tourism into the area.
Allegretto, a Tuscan resort that has been rated with four diamonds by AAA, believes that the fair brings an increase in revenue for local businesses.
“The Mid State Fair is a very very strong economic boost for the whole entire area. The fair this year is really quite good. We are seeing a lot more business during the middle part of the week, which is terrific,” said Rich Verruni, General Manager of Allegretto. “A lot of the top name performers are there, which draws a lot of people coming from the north and south.”
Many tourists across the nation continue to make their way back to northern San Luis Obispo around this time of the year, not just for the fair, but for the various activities like wine tasting, which is quite popular in the interior valleys.
“We’re getting a lot of repeat customers. Not just our customers that come to Paso because they know us, but the fair of course draws a lot of attention because of the top line talent,” said Verruni.
Paso Soul Food Grill said they have seen many people from out of the area stopping by their restaurant for a quick bite.
“It’s doing pretty good right now. We have a lot of out-of-towners coming in, a lot of fairgoers, and it’s pretty great that the fair’s here. Every time it comes in, we have a lot more customers,” said Ernest “Dubs” Hall, Paso Soul Food Grill Owner.
Nate’s Chicken is located right across the street from the California Mid State Fair and they say they have seen traffic at their business increase right before the fair opens.
Their business does fluctuate with clientele in the evening, since they are one of many vendors participating at the fair.
“Within the last few days, we’ve seen a lot of traffic at our restaurant. The fair kicked off just last week; it’s now ending this Sunday. Our store fluctuates with clients, since we do have a booth at the fair,” said Alexis Salvatierra, Nate’s Chicken Employee. | https://www.ksby.com/news/local-news/california-mid-state-fair-sparks-influx-of-clientele-for-local-businesses-in-paso-robles | 2023-07-29T07:23:19 | 1 | https://www.ksby.com/news/local-news/california-mid-state-fair-sparks-influx-of-clientele-for-local-businesses-in-paso-robles |
10 dogs die after air conditioning in truck fails during traffic delay
HOBART, Ind. (WLS) - Ten dogs died in Indiana during a drive from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Michigan.
Authorities said the driver did not know the air conditioning in the truck’s cargo failed.
Police arrived at a Lake Station, Indiana, gas station Thursday night for a report that 19 German shepherds became overheated while being transported to a training facility.
Ten of the dogs died as a result, according to officials.
WARNING: Some may find the content of this video disturbing.
The Humane Society of Hobart was called to the scene.
Police in Lake Station say the driver of the van, who picked the dogs up from Chicago O’Hare International Airport and was bound for a training facility in Michigan, was unaware that the air conditioning in the cargo area of the truck failed in the sweltering heat.
“We had cooling vans and animal care and control vehicles ready to transport. And because we were asking for that paperwork, it seemed to make the owner mad and so he said that he would not allow us to help,” Jenny Webber, with the Humane Society of Hobart, said.
Lake Station police posted a narrative of the situation on Facebook, calling it a “freak event” and not a matter of neglect on the part of the truck’s driver.
They went on to write the “scene was chaotic and took an emotional toll on all that were involved in trying to save as many canines as possible.”
The humane society said they believe the dogs were traveling to a Michigan trainer to become police dogs.
“This is truly a sad day for all of us,” Webber added.
Five German shepherds were still being treated in Lake Station and will go into the care of the humane society unless the owner claims the dogs.
The record-breaking temperatures stretching from coast-to-coast sparked heat alerts in multiple states.

Point by James Hull
Shame, shame, shame on Senate District 6 candidate Lauren Smith.
Smith, who is an acolyte of Chris McDaniel, who is an acolyte of Donald Trump, has accused President Biden of stealing the 2020 presidential election, while seemingly doing the same thing in her race.
Smith is running as a candidate in District 6, but according to several credible news reports, has never voted in the district. State law says a “qualified elector” (voter) must have lived in the district for two years prior to election. Reportedly, Ms. Smith has lived in three places —Nettleton, Tupelo and Saltillo — since 2019. To establish legal residency in three places over that period of time would be a Herculean feat.
Moreover, when evidence was presented to the state Republican Party that she did not meet state law residency requirements, the party sided with Smith. Shameful.
Even more shameful is how state Republicans allow Gov. Tate Reeves to gaslight Mississippians. First, there were reports that Reeves may have paid his personal trainer with funds that could have gone to the poor. Reeves denies the accusation, of course. And before that, information came forward that Reeves was trying to use MDOT monies to build a road to his house. Of course, he denies that, too.
Despite these accusations, the governor seems to be able to wriggle out of his troubles. How? By gaslighting Mississippians.
The answer is to be discerning in our voting. We cannot allow politicians to continue to hoodwink us and not suffer the consequences. Voters want honesty and ethics. Neither Smith nor Reeves seem to possess either quality.
Counterpoint by Ed Holliday
After the District 6 state senate candidate you mentioned presented her case, she was allowed to run because Republicans believe in robust primaries that make the party stronger.
You can contrast that with two Democratic candidates for governor kicked off the ballot by state party leaders, ensuring just a single candidate on the ballot for governor in the Democratic primary.
It makes one wonder if these state Democratic leaders feared the current candidate for governor might not win the Democratic primary.
Now another Republican candidate for Public Service Commissioner, Mandy Gunasekara, was also allowed to run by the state Republican party leaders. But her challenger opted to take that decision to court, and a judge said that she could not run. So, the state party leaders do not have the final say of how to interpret the state law.
Even though Mandy Gunasekara cannot run this year, she has still been active. More on that in a moment.
Gaslighting works both ways. You mention allegations against Gov. Tate Reeves that come from reporters and news organizations that have rarely, if ever, presented Gov. Reeves in any favorable light. I recently asked Gov. Reeves why some press never seemed to write good news about the positive things he has done as governor. He told me that when a conservative boldly stands against left-wing radical policies, the radical left resorts to personal attacks.
The reporters and news organizations that like to write about allegations concerning the governor should be fair and honest. If they are, then they will also report on the recent allegations that Mandy Gunasekara has uncovered. She has called for the resignation of a public official because of findings that are detailed on her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Mandy is a very sharp attorney. She advised President Trump to take America out of the Paris Climate Agreement; he followed her counsel. I believe Mississippi has honest reporters, and they will pursue the allegations that Mandy has uncovered just as well as they promoted the allegations about Gov. Reeves.
Although Mandy Gunasekara is not on the ballot this year, she is still fighting for honesty and ethics in Mississippi. Get involved, support your candidate. Try building up; avoid tearing down.
Use wisdom and go vote Aug.8.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

NIAMEY, Niger — Mutinous soldiers who staged a coup in Niger declared their leader the new head of state on Friday, hours after the general asked for national and international support despite rising concerns that the political crisis could hinder the nation's fight against jihadists and boost Russia's influence in West Africa.
Spokesman Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane said on state television that the constitution was suspended and Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani was in charge.
Various factions of Niger's military have reportedly wrangled for control since members of the presidential guard detained President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected two years ago in Niger's first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since independence from France.
Niger is seen as the last reliable partner for the West in efforts to battle jihadists linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group in Africa's Sahel region, where Russia and Western countries have vied for influence in the fight against extremism. France has 1,500 soldiers in the country who conduct joint operations with the Nigeriens, and the United States and other European countries have helped train the nation's troops.
The coup sparked international condemnation and the West African regional group ECOWAS, which includes Niger and has taken the lead in trying to restore democratic rule in the country, scheduled an emergency summit in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, on Sunday.
The U.N. Security Council strongly condemned efforts "to unconstitutionally change the legitimate government." Its statement, agreed to by all 15 members including the U.S. and Russia, called for "the immediate and unconditional release" of Bazoum and expressed concern over the negative effect of coups in the region, the "increase in terrorist activities and the dire socio—economic situation."
Extremists in Niger have carried out attacks on civilians and military personnel, but the overall security situation is not as dire as in neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso — both of which have ousted the French military. Mali has turned to the Russian private military group Wagner, and it's believed that the mercenaries will soon be in Burkina Faso.
Now there are concerns that Niger could follow suit. Before the coup, Wagner, which has sent mercenaries around the world in support of Russia's interests, already had its sights set on Niger, in part because it's a large producer of uranium.
"We can no longer continue with the same approaches proposed so far, at the risk of witnessing the gradual and inevitable demise of our country," Tchiani, who also goes by Omar Tchiani, said in his address. "That is why we decided to intervene and take responsibility."
"I ask the technical and financial partners who are friends of Niger to understand the specific situation of our country in order to provide it with all the support necessary to enable it to meet the challenges," he said.
If the United States designates the takeover as a coup, Niger stands to lose millions of dollars of military aid and assistance.
The mutinous soldiers, who call themselves the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Country, accused some prominent dignitaries of collaborating with foreign embassies to "extract" the deposed leaders. They said it could lead to violence and warned against foreign military intervention.
Bazoum has not resigned and he defiantly tweeted from detention on Thursday that democracy would prevail.
It's not clear who enjoys majority support, but the streets of the capital of Niamey were calm Friday, with a slight celebratory air. Some cars honked in solidarity at security forces as they drove by — but it was not clear if that meant they backed the coup. Elsewhere, people rested after traditional midday prayers and others sold goods at their shops and hoped for calm.
"We should pray to God to help people come together so that peace comes back to the country. We don't want a lot of protests in the country, because it is not good ... I hope this administration does a good job," said Gerard Sassou, a Niamey shopkeeper.
A day earlier, several hundred people gathered in the city chanting support for Wagner while waving Russian flags. "We're fed up," said Omar Issaka, one of the protestors. "We are tired of being targeted by the men in the bush. ... We're going to collaborate with Russia now."
That's exactly what many in the West likely fear. Tchiani's criticism of Bazoum's approach and of how security partnerships have worked in the past will certainly make the U.S., France, and the EU uneasy, said Andrew Lebovich, a research fellow with the Clingendael Institute.
"So that could mark potentially some shifts moving forward in Niger security partnerships," he said.
Even as Tchiani sought to project control, the situation appeared to be in flux. A delegation from neighboring Nigeria, which holds the ECOWAS presidency and was hoping to mediate, left shortly after arriving, and the president of Benin, nominated as a mediator by ECOWAS, has not arrived.
Earlier, an analyst who had spoken with participants in the talks said the presidential guard was negotiating with the army about who should be in charge. The analyst spoke on condition they not to be named because of the sensitive situation.
A western military official in Niger who was not authorized to speak to the media also said the military factions were believed to be negotiating, but that the situation remained tense and violence could erupt.
Speaking in Papua New Guinea, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the coup as "completely illegitimate and profoundly dangerous for the Nigeriens, Niger and the whole region."
The coup threatens to starkly reshape the international community's engagement with the Sahel region.
On Thursday, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said the country's "substantial cooperation with the Government of Niger is contingent on Niger's continued commitment to democratic standards."
The United States in early 2021 said it had provided Niger with more than $500 million in military assistance and training programs since 2012, one of the largest such support programs in sub-Saharan Africa. The European Union earlier this year launched a 27 million-euro ($30 million) military training mission in Niger.
The United States has more than 1,000 service personnel in the country.
Some military leaders who appear to be involved in the coup have worked closely with the United States for years. Gen. Moussa Salaou Barmou, the head of Niger's special forces, has an especially strong relationship with the U.S., the Western military official said.
While Russia has also condemned the coup, it remains unclear what the junta's position would be on Wagner.
The acting head of the United Nations in Niger said Friday that humanitarian aid deliveries were continuing, even though the military suspended flights carrying aid.
Nicole Kouassi, the acting U.N. resident and humanitarian coordinator, told reporters via video from Niamey that 4.3 million people needed humanitarian aid before this week's military action and 3.3 million faced "acute food insecurity," the majority of them women and children.
Jean-Noel Gentile, the U.N. World Food Program director in Niger, said "the humanitarian response continues on the ground." He said the U.N. is providing cash assistance and food to people in accessible areas and that the agency is continuously assessing the situation to ensure security and access.
This is Niger's fifth coup and marks the fall of one of the last democratically elected governments in the Sahel.
Its army has always been very powerful and civilian-military relations fraught, though tensions had increased recently, especially with the growing jihadist insurgency, said Karim Manuel, an analyst for the Middle East and Africa with the Economist Intelligence Unit.

SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

PHOENIX — (AP) — A historic heat wave that turned the U.S. Southwest into a blast furnace throughout July is beginning to abate with the late arrival of monsoon rains.
Forecasters expect that by Monday at the latest, people in metro Phoenix will begin seeing high temperatures under 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) for the first time in a month. As of Friday, the high temperature in the desert city had been at or above that mark for 29 consecutive days.
Already this week, the overnight low at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport fell under 90 (32.2 C) for the first time in 16 days, finally allowing people some respite from the stifling heat once the sun goes down.
Temperatures are also expected to ease in Las Vegas, Albuquerque and Death Valley, California.
The downward trend started Wednesday night, when Phoenix saw its first major monsoon storm since the traditional start of the season on June 15. While more than half of the greater Phoenix area saw no rainfall from that storm, some eastern suburbs were pummeled by high winds, swirling dust and localized downfalls of up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) of precipitation.
Storms gradually increasing in strength are expected over the weekend.
Scientists calculate that July will prove to be the hottest globally on record and perhaps the warmest human civilization has seen. The extreme heat is now hitting the eastern part of the U.S, as soaring temperatures moved from the Midwest into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, where some places are seeing their warmest days so far this year.
The new heat records being set this summer are just some of the extreme weather being seen around the U.S. this month, such as flash floods in Pennsylvania and parts of the Northeast.
And while relief may be on the way for the Southwest, for now it's still dangerously hot. Phoenix’s high temperature reached 116 (46.7 C) Friday afternoon, which is far above the average temperature of 106 (41.1 C).
"Anyone can be at risk outside in this record heat," the fire department in Goodyear, a Phoenix suburb, warned residents on social media while offering ideas to stay safe.
For many people such as older adults, those with health issues and those without access to air conditioning, the heat can be dangerous or even deadly.
Maricopa County, the most populous in Arizona and home to Phoenix, reported this week that its public health department had confirmed 25 heat-associated deaths this year as of July 21, with 249 more under investigation.
Results from toxicological tests that can takes weeks or months after an autopsy is conducted could eventually result in many deaths listed as under investigation as heat associated being changed to confirmed.
Maricopa County confirmed 425 heat-associated deaths last year, and more than half of them occurred in July.
Elsewhere in Arizona next week, the agricultural desert community of Yuma is expecting highs ranging from 104 to 112 (40 C to 44.4 C) and Tucson is looking at highs ranging from 99 to 111 (37.2 C to 43.9 C).
The highs in Las Vegas are forecast to slip as low as 94 (34.4 C) next Tuesday after a long spell of highs above 110 (43.3 C). Death Valley, which hit 128 (53.3 C) in mid-July, will cool as well, though only to a still blistering hot 116 (46.7 C).
In New Mexico, the highs in Albuquerque next week are expected to be in the mid to high 90s (around 35 C), with party cloudy skies.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — (AP) — United States midfielder Savannah DeMelo can speak some Portuguese and may be able to put it to use in the Women's World Cup.
The U.S. plays Portugal on Tuesday to wrap up the tournament's group stage, and a fter a disappointing 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, the Americans needs a win. At stake is both the top spot in Group E and also a much-needed boost to team confidence.
That's where DeMelo can help.
The 25-year-old's dad, Robert, is from Portugal and had a successful career as a player in that country before becoming a coach. DeMelo has dual citizenship and understands Portuguese.
“I'll definitely be listening for it,” she laughed.
DeMelo made her first international start for the United States against Vietnam in the group opener, a 3-0 victory for the Americans.
Prior to the World Cup, DeMelo had played in only one other match for the United States: she was a substitute in the team’s send-off match against Wales in San Jose in early July. DeMelo, who plays for Racing Louisville FC in the National Women's Soccer League, was the first U.S. player since Shannon Boxx in 2003 and third overall to be named to the World Cup roster without any previous appearances for the national team.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski started DeMelo in the both of the American's World Cup matches. She played both opening halves before being subbed off for veteran Rose Lavelle, who has been playing limited minutes for the United States because of a knee injury suffered in April.
The journey from being named to the team to getting a start in the World Cup has “been a crazy roller coaster of emotions," said DeMelo.
“But I think I've had a lot of great people, including the girls on the team, who have been super helpful with getting me acclimated to the team," she said. "And I'm just super grateful to be here."
The United States may need to switch up its tactics against Portugal.
The Americans are tied on points with the Netherlands in Group E and have an advantage over the Dutch on goal difference. The top two teams in the group advance to the knockout round.
But the results haven't been as emphatic as they were in 2019, when the U.S. opened with a 13-0 victory over Thailand and went on to win their second straight World Cup title, and fourth overall.
The United States trailed the Netherlands by a goal in the first half before Lindsey Horan scored a game-tying header in the 62nd minute.
One reason for the less-than-dominant play could be inexperience. DeMelo is among 14 U.S. players appearing in their first World Cup.
Fellow midfielder Andi Sullivan, who is also making her tournament debut, said it takes some adjustment to play together as newcomers.
“That's definitely a challenge that we're going through, is that we just kind of came together,” Sullivan said. "It's not like a team that you're training with all year round, constantly. You're in and out all the time. So I think you're constantly adjusting.
“But the way that you get in sync is we watch a lot of stuff together, we communicate constantly. We're very direct when something's not going the way we want it to go," Sullivan added. "You have to be direct and clear and honest and loud.”
DeMelo is also among six players at the World Cup who play for Racing Louisville. Among the Racing Louisville representatives are Ary Borges, who scored a hat trick for Brazil in its 4-0 victory over Panama to start the tournament.
DeMelo, who said her father never pushed her into soccer growing up, could have played for Portugal at the senior level.
“It could have been an option,” she said, “but I think my heart was always with the United States.”

BLAINE, Minn. — With the FedExCup playoffs two weeks away, Lee Hodges can breathe easier. Justin Thomas can’t.
Hodges birdied four of his last six holes for a 7-under 64 and a four-stroke lead over Tyler Duncan on Friday after almost two rounds of the 3M Open.
A nearly two-hour afternoon weather delay led to play being suspended due to darkness with six players yet to finish — none within 10 shots of the lead.
Hodges, 74th in the FedExCup points race, opened with a 63 for the first-round lead and had a 15-under 127 total to break the tournament 36-hole record of 128 set by Bryson DeChambeau in 2019.
Full-field scores from 3M Open
Hodges was 3 under on the front nine and added a 33-foot birdie putt on No. 13, followed by birdies from 14 feet on No. 14 and 11 feet on No. 17.
“I’ve got a great attitude out there. Me and my caddie (Andrew Medley), we’re 70-something on the points list, like what do we have to lose, you know?” Hodges said. “We’ve committed to every shot we’ve hit so far, which has been great. We’ll continue to do it, because what do we have to lose.”
A lengthy last-hole putt was not enough to overcome a couple bad holes as Thomas aims to make the FedExCup playoffs for the eighth straight season. He birdied four of his last five holes to shoot a shot an even-par 71, leaving him 2 under for the tournament and two strokes short.
Thomas, at No. 75 in the FedExCup standings, has missed five cuts in his last seven starts. The top 70 next week after the Wyndham Championship will advance to the playoffs. Looking to stay in strong consideration for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, Thomas has just two top-10 finishes in 14 tournaments since mid-February.
Starting on the back nine, Thomas put two balls in the water on the par-5 18th, falling to 1 under. An errant tee shot and poor chip led to another double bogey on the par-3 fourth, before a strong finishing stretch was punctuated by a 30-foot putt on No. 9.
“This is a good chance for me to learn a little bit about myself and push myself and become better,” Thomas said before the tournament. “I mean, this game, nothing’s given to you. I’ve had great chances to win the FedExCup the last five or six years and now I’m trying to make the playoffs. That’s just the way that this sport is. And it can happen to anybody, so you’ve just got to go out and get it.”
He wasn’t the only player to put untimely dents in possible playoff plans by missing the cut. No. 70 K.H. Lee (1 under), No. 72 Davis Thompson (2 under) and No. 90 Gary Woodland (3 over) also get the weekend off.
Duncan, who has missed six cuts in his past eight events and 17 of 27 this season, shot a 67. He has back-to-back bogey-free rounds.
“You never know when it’s coming, but I’ve been putting in the work and you always hope it shows up,” Duncan said. “But it doesn’t always show up when you want it to.”
Defending champion Tony Finau (66), J.T. Poston (66), Brandt Snedeker (68) and Kevin Streelman (68) were 10 under.
With one top-10 in 25 starts this season, Streelman is in a rare position.
“I haven’t been in the final groups in a while on a Saturday, so looking forward to that. At my age I don’t have much to lose, so go out and have some fun this weekend,” the 44-year-old Streelman said. | https://www.golfchannel.com/news/lee-hodges-leads-four-justin-thomas-misses-cut-hurt-playoff-hopes | 2023-07-29T07:27:40 | 1 | https://www.golfchannel.com/news/lee-hodges-leads-four-justin-thomas-misses-cut-hurt-playoff-hopes |
AUCKLAND – New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson has helped create two milestones at the Women’s World Cup.
With her 48th-minute goal in the tournament opener against Norway, she led the co-host Football Ferns to their first win in six trips to the Women’s World Cup. She’s also one of at least 95 out members of the LGBTQ+ community competing in this year’s tournament, according to a count being kept by Outsports, a website that covers the LGBTQ+ sports.
The Ferns were greeted with a fan-made sign at their next match in Wellington: “Gay for soccer, gay for Wilkie,” it read.
The 95 out participants make up roughly 13% of the 736 total players at the Women’s World Cup, more than doubling the 40 players and coaches Outsports counted in 2019.
The 2023 tournament also is hosting the first openly trans and non-binary player in either a men’s or Women’s World Cup, Quinn of Canada.
“Last World Cup was so big, especially with the visibility of the U.S. women’s national team winning and (Megan Rapinoe) fighting with (Donald) Trump. So I think that was a huge year for LGBTQ+ visibility,” said Lindsey Freeman, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
“It’s just the ad hoc, fun culture of women’s soccer that you’re seeing in this World Cup,” said Freeman, who is in New Zealand conducting research on the topic.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, agreed. “In the Western world, it’s such a non-issue that it really just doesn’t get talked about,” he said. “And I think that’s in a good way.”
VISIBILITY
Prior to the start of the tournament, FIFA designated eight socially conscious armbands team captains could wear throughout the Women’s World Cup. The decision came after “One Love” armbands were denied to men’s teams in Qatar in 2022.
The armbands being used this year include anti-discriminatory sayings and multiple colors, but the rainbow version Germany wanted to use is not allowed. None of the available options explicitly mention LGBTQ+ rights.
The decision has led many players to express their support in more creative ways across Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand midfielder Ali Riley was interviewed on the official Women’s World Cup broadcast after her team’s upset of Norway. Her painted fingernails, left hand in the colors of the pride flag and right hand as the trans flag, were clearly visible as she held her head and fought back tears.
“She’s such an advocate and she’s definitely someone who uses her platform in such a positive way. We are all so proud of her and the way she represents the LGBTQ+ community,” teammate CJ Bott said. “Good on her. We’re all backing her, and we all back the community as well.”
The Philippines, making its Women’s World Cup debut, took home its own historic win over New Zealand 1-0 thanks to the foot of Sarina Bolden. Bolden’s Instagram bio reads, “i just wanna have fun n b gay.”
Irish star Katie McCabe wowed fans with a goal directly from a corner kick. She’s also made tabloid news for her relationships with other players.
Thembi Kgatlana, who has scored in the tournament for South Africa, has a patch of her hair dyed rainbow colors.
“My personality is very big for me, and my hair has become a part of my personality,” Kgatlana said. “And I did this rainbow because I want to represent all the people that are part of the LGBTQ and cannot talk while in countries where they’re oppressed.”
FAN EXPERIENCE
Kristen Pariseau and her wife started a U.S. women’s national team supporters group on Facebook ahead of traveling to this year’s Women’s World Cup. Aside from some hateful users she blocked, it’s been “super LGBT friendly.”
She and her wife did not go to Qatar for the 2022 men’s World Cup to avoid referencing each other as friends and receiving questions on their sexuality. In New Zealand, she said she’s met many same-sex couples at games and while traveling around the country.
“Everywhere you turn, it’s like, ‘Oh, my wife, my girlfriend.’ It’s been so welcoming and open,” Pariseau said. “In a way, it is kind of cool to be where there’s a lot of other people like you.”
Kelsie Bozart took her own pride flag armband to the United States' second match in Wellington, along with a pride scarf.
“If you look back a couple years, I feel like it just wasn’t really talked about or there just wasn’t much of a presence,” Bozart said. “But moving forward I feel like, especially for the U.S., they’ve done an amazing job of just incorporating pride and LGBTQ.”
NOT UNIVERSAL
Though this year’s tournament has highlighted vast gains for the LGBTQ+ community in women’s soccer, advocates feel there is still work to be done.
According to Buzinski and Outsports, there were at least 186 LGBTQ+ athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Women outnumbered men by a 9:1 ratio. There also were no confirmed out players at the 2022 men’s World Cup.
“I think women’s sports have always been open,” Denmark striker Pernille Harder said, adding that there are many role models for women who want to come out.
Freeman said it would be good to see men feel the same level of comfort.
“What can happen in the women’s game, I would love to spill over to the men’s game,” she said. “Because obviously, there’s way more queer players in the men’s game and it’s just not safe for them to come out.
“If you want to say that you’re in an inclusive space, you really have to be an inclusive space,” Freeman added. “And I think that that includes also holding the World Cup in places where it’s fine to be a queer person.”

A weak tropical wave is moving across the Florida peninsula tonight, helping to generate some scattered showers and thunderstorms. This will continue tonight, though it won’t be able to make much of a dent in the drought conditions present in areas west of Interstate 75 in Lee, Collier and Charlotte Counties unfortunately.
On Saturday, we’re anticipating some sunshine in the morning with high temperatures popping into the low and mid 90s by the lunch hour. After lunch, the sea breeze is expected to be able to fire off some scattered storms, favoring areas along and to the east of the Interstate 75 corridor.
Thankfully the tropics remain generally quiet for Florida for the next few days. No named systems are active at this time, and for now the only area of weather over the ocean being monitored for a favorable chance of development is in the open Atlantic Ocean. It’s too early to determine if this area being watched will be able to impact any areas of land or if it will be able to develop into an organized system.

PHOENIX – A historic heat wave that turned the U.S. Southwest into a blast furnace throughout July is beginning to abate with the late arrival of monsoon rains.
Forecasters expect that by Monday at the latest, people in metro Phoenix will begin seeing high temperatures under 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) for the first time in a month. As of Friday, the high temperature in the desert city had been at or above that mark for 29 consecutive days.
Already this week, the overnight low at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport fell under 90 (32.2 C) for the first time in 16 days, finally allowing people some respite from the stifling heat once the sun goes down.
Temperatures are also expected to ease in Las Vegas, Albuquerque and Death Valley, California.
The downward trend started Wednesday night, when Phoenix saw its first major monsoon storm since the traditional start of the season on June 15. While more than half of the greater Phoenix area saw no rainfall from that storm, some eastern suburbs were pummeled by high winds, swirling dust and localized downfalls of up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) of precipitation.
Storms gradually increasing in strength are expected over the weekend.
Scientists calculate that July will prove to be the hottest globally on record and perhaps the warmest human civilization has seen. The extreme heat is now hitting the eastern part of the U.S, as soaring temperatures moved from the Midwest into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, where some places are seeing their warmest days so far this year.
The new heat records being set this summer are just some of the extreme weather being seen around the U.S. this month, such as flash floods in Pennsylvania and parts of the Northeast.
And while relief may be on the way for the Southwest, for now it's still dangerously hot. Phoenix’s high temperature reached 116 (46.7 C) Friday afternoon, which is far above the average temperature of 106 (41.1 C).
“Anyone can be at risk outside in this record heat,” the fire department in Goodyear, a Phoenix suburb, warned residents on social media while offering ideas to stay safe.
For many people such as older adults, those with health issues and those without access to air conditioning, the heat can be dangerous or even deadly.
Maricopa County, the most populous in Arizona and home to Phoenix, reported this week that its public health department had confirmed 25 heat-associated deaths this year as of July 21, with 249 more under investigation.
Results from toxicological tests that can takes weeks or months after an autopsy is conducted could eventually result in many deaths listed as under investigation as heat associated being changed to confirmed.
Maricopa County confirmed 425 heat-associated deaths last year, and more than half of them occurred in July.
Elsewhere in Arizona next week, the agricultural desert community of Yuma is expecting highs ranging from 104 to 112 (40 C to 44.4 C) and Tucson is looking at highs ranging from 99 to 111 (37.2 C to 43.9 C).
The highs in Las Vegas are forecast to slip as low as 94 (34.4 C) next Tuesday after a long spell of highs above 110 (43.3 C). Death Valley, which hit 128 (53.3 C) in mid-July, will cool as well, though only to a still blistering hot 116 (46.7 C).
In New Mexico, the highs in Albuquerque next week are expected to be in the mid to high 90s (around 35 C), with party cloudy skies. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2023/07/29/the-extreme-heat-wave-that-blasted-the-southwest-is-abating-with-late-arriving-monsoon-rains/ | 2023-07-29T07:27:47 | 1 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2023/07/29/the-extreme-heat-wave-that-blasted-the-southwest-is-abating-with-late-arriving-monsoon-rains/ |

AUCKLAND – United States midfielder Savannah DeMelo can speak some Portuguese and may be able to put it to use in the Women's World Cup.
The U.S. plays Portugal on Tuesday to wrap up the tournament's group stage, and a fter a disappointing 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, the Americans needs a win. At stake is both the top spot in Group E and also a much-needed boost to team confidence.
That's where DeMelo can help.
The 25-year-old's dad, Robert, is from Portugal and had a successful career as a player in that country before becoming a coach. DeMelo has dual citizenship and understands Portuguese.
“I'll definitely be listening for it,” she laughed.
DeMelo made her first international start for the United States against Vietnam in the group opener, a 3-0 victory for the Americans.
Prior to the World Cup, DeMelo had played in only one other match for the United States: she was a substitute in the team’s send-off match against Wales in San Jose in early July. DeMelo, who plays for Racing Louisville FC in the National Women's Soccer League, was the first U.S. player since Shannon Boxx in 2003 and third overall to be named to the World Cup roster without any previous appearances for the national team.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski started DeMelo in the both of the American's World Cup matches. She played both opening halves before being subbed off for veteran Rose Lavelle, who has been playing limited minutes for the United States because of a knee injury suffered in April.
The journey from being named to the team to getting a start in the World Cup has “been a crazy roller coaster of emotions," said DeMelo.
“But I think I've had a lot of great people, including the girls on the team, who have been super helpful with getting me acclimated to the team," she said. "And I'm just super grateful to be here."
The United States may need to switch up its tactics against Portugal.
The Americans are tied on points with the Netherlands in Group E and have an advantage over the Dutch on goal difference. The top two teams in the group advance to the knockout round.
But the results haven't been as emphatic as they were in 2019, when the U.S. opened with a 13-0 victory over Thailand and went on to win their second straight World Cup title, and fourth overall.
The United States trailed the Netherlands by a goal in the first half before Lindsey Horan scored a game-tying header in the 62nd minute.
One reason for the less-than-dominant play could be inexperience. DeMelo is among 14 U.S. players appearing in their first World Cup.
Fellow midfielder Andi Sullivan, who is also making her tournament debut, said it takes some adjustment to play together as newcomers.
“That's definitely a challenge that we're going through, is that we just kind of came together,” Sullivan said. "It's not like a team that you're training with all year round, constantly. You're in and out all the time. So I think you're constantly adjusting.
“But the way that you get in sync is we watch a lot of stuff together, we communicate constantly. We're very direct when something's not going the way we want it to go," Sullivan added. "You have to be direct and clear and honest and loud.”
DeMelo is also among six players at the World Cup who play for Racing Louisville. Among the Racing Louisville representatives are Ary Borges, who scored a hat trick for Brazil in its 4-0 victory over Panama to start the tournament.
DeMelo, who said her father never pushed her into soccer growing up, could have played for Portugal at the senior level.
“It could have been an option,” she said, “but I think my heart was always with the United States.”

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — (AP) — New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson has helped create two milestones at the Women's World Cup.
With her 48th-minute goal in the tournament opener against Norway, she led the co-host Football Ferns to their first win in six trips to the Women's World Cup. She's also one of at least 95 out members of the LGBTQ+ community competing in this year's tournament, according to a count being kept by Outsports, a website that covers the LGBTQ+ sports.
The Ferns were greeted with a fan-made sign at their next match in Wellington: “Gay for soccer, gay for Wilkie,” it read.
The 95 out participants make up roughly 13% of the 736 total players at the Women’s World Cup, more than doubling the 40 players and coaches Outsports counted in 2019.
The 2023 tournament also is hosting the first openly trans and non-binary player in either a men’s or Women’s World Cup, Quinn of Canada.
“Last World Cup was so big, especially with the visibility of the U.S. women’s national team winning and (Megan Rapinoe) fighting with (Donald) Trump. So I think that was a huge year for LGBTQ+ visibility,” said Lindsey Freeman, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
“It’s just the ad hoc, fun culture of women’s soccer that you’re seeing in this World Cup,” said Freeman, who is in New Zealand conducting research on the topic.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, agreed. “In the Western world, it’s such a non-issue that it really just doesn’t get talked about,” he said. “And I think that’s in a good way.”
VISIBILITY
Prior to the start of the tournament, FIFA designated eight socially conscious armbands team captains could wear throughout the Women's World Cup. The decision came after "One Love" armbands were denied to men's teams in Qatar in 2022.
The armbands being used this year include anti-discriminatory sayings and multiple colors, but the rainbow version Germany wanted to use is not allowed. None of the available options explicitly mention LGBTQ+ rights.
The decision has led many players to express their support in more creative ways across Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand midfielder Ali Riley was interviewed on the official Women’s World Cup broadcast after her team’s upset of Norway. Her painted fingernails, left hand in the colors of the pride flag and right hand as the trans flag, were clearly visible as she held her head and fought back tears.
“She’s such an advocate and she’s definitely someone who uses her platform in such a positive way. We are all so proud of her and the way she represents the LGBTQ+ community,” teammate CJ Bott said. “Good on her. We’re all backing her, and we all back the community as well.”
The Philippines, making its Women’s World Cup debut, took home its own historic win over New Zealand 1-0 thanks to the foot of Sarina Bolden. Bolden’s Instagram bio reads, “i just wanna have fun n b gay.”
Irish star Katie McCabe wowed fans with a goal directly from a corner kick. She's also made tabloid news for her relationships with other players.
Thembi Kgatlana, who has scored in the tournament for South Africa, has a patch of her hair dyed rainbow colors.
“My personality is very big for me, and my hair has become a part of my personality,” Kgatlana said. “And I did this rainbow because I want to represent all the people that are part of the LGBTQ and cannot talk while in countries where they’re oppressed.”
FAN EXPERIENCE
Kristen Pariseau and her wife started a U.S. women’s national team supporters group on Facebook ahead of traveling to this year’s Women’s World Cup. Aside from some hateful users she blocked, it’s been “super LGBT friendly.”
She and her wife did not go to Qatar for the 2022 men’s World Cup to avoid referencing each other as friends and receiving questions on their sexuality. In New Zealand, she said she’s met many same-sex couples at games and while traveling around the country.
“Everywhere you turn, it’s like, ‘Oh, my wife, my girlfriend.’ It’s been so welcoming and open,” Pariseau said. “In a way, it is kind of cool to be where there’s a lot of other people like you.”
Kelsie Bozart took her own pride flag armband to the United States' second match in Wellington, along with a pride scarf.
“If you look back a couple years, I feel like it just wasn’t really talked about or there just wasn’t much of a presence,” Bozart said. “But moving forward I feel like, especially for the U.S., they’ve done an amazing job of just incorporating pride and LGBTQ.”
NOT UNIVERSAL
Though this year’s tournament has highlighted vast gains for the LGBTQ+ community in women’s soccer, advocates feel there is still work to be done.
According to Buzinski and Outsports, there were at least 186 LGBTQ+ athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Women outnumbered men by a 9:1 ratio. There also were no confirmed out players at the 2022 men's World Cup.
“I think women’s sports have always been open,” Denmark striker Pernille Harder said, adding that there are many role models for women who want to come out.
Freeman said it would be good to see men feel the same level of comfort.
“What can happen in the women’s game, I would love to spill over to the men’s game,” she said. “Because obviously, there’s way more queer players in the men’s game and it’s just not safe for them to come out.
“If you want to say that you’re in an inclusive space, you really have to be an inclusive space,” Freeman added. “And I think that that includes also holding the World Cup in places where it’s fine to be a queer person.”

The Alabama woman who admitted staging her own alleged kidnapping in a two-day disappearance that attracted national media attention is facing criminal charges of two misdemeanors, according to a new report.
Carlee Russell, who earlier this month called 911 to report that there was an unaccompanied toddler walking alongside a busy interstate highway in the city of Hoover, has been “charged” with “falsely reporting an incident and “making a false statement to police,” AL.com public safety reporter Carol Robinson tweeted on Friday afternoon.
“Her decisions that night created panic and alarm for the citizens of our city and even across the nation as the concern grew that a kidnapper was on the loose using a small child as bait,” Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said about Russell at a news conference on Friday.
Video footage posted to social media showed Russell, 25, leaving her attorney’s office on Friday morning.
The latest developments came days after Russell’s lawyer said in a statement that she was never kidnapped.
AL.com previously reported that Russell could face up to a year behind bars or a year of labor in the county if she is convicted of the offenses. She is also facing a $6,000 fine.
“Under state law, one is guilty of the Class A misdemeanor of false reporting to law enforcement authorities if he or she ‘knowingly makes a false report or causes the transmission of a false report to law enforcement authorities of a crime,’” AL.com wrote. “Under another section of Alabama law, a person commits the crime of falsely reporting an incident if ‘he or she initiates or circulates a false report or warning of an alleged occurrence.’”
On Monday, Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis during a press conference read a statement from Russell’s attorney admitting to the kidnapping hoax:
Dear Chief Derzis, my client has given me permission to make the following statement on her behalf: There was no kidnapping on July 13, 2023. My client did not see a baby on the side of the road. My client did not leave the Hoover area when she was identified as a missing person. My client did not have any help in this incident, but this was a single act done by herself,’’ Anthony wrote. “My client was not with anyone or at any hotel during the time she was missing.
In the statement, Russell’s attorney said his client wished to issue a public apology and planned to “address her issues.”
My client apologizes for her actions to the community, the volunteers who were searching for her, to the Hoover Police Department and other agencies, as well as to her friends and family. We ask for your prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and intends to move understanding that she made a mistake. Carlee again asks for your forgiveness and prayers.
What happened to Carlee Russell?
On July 13, Russell disappeared after calling 911 to report a missing toddler walking along Interstate 459. She was driving in Hoover, a city just a few miles south of Birmingham. According to the police, Russell called a family member after she reported the lone toddler, but when she went to check on the missing child, she lost contact with her family member. According to a report issued by the Hoover Police, Russell let out a scream before the call dropped. Officers arrived at the scene to find her vehicle with all of her belongings inside, but Russell and the child were nowhere to be found. Before the incident, police said they did not receive any reports about a missing child, let alone one wandering along the interstate.
Miraculously, on July 15, authorities were notified that Russell had returned to her parents’ home on foot. She was taken to a local hospital for an evaluation, treated and released.
Russell’s mother Talitha Robinson-Russell and her father Carlos Russell spoke briefly to NBC News about what happened when their daughter returned home.
“We tried to hug her as best we could, but I had to stand back because she was not in a good state,” Talitha said as tears began to well up in her eyes.
Talitha said they could not share specifics about what happened to their daughter due to the ongoing investigation, but they do believe Carlee’s “abductor” is still at large. She also mentioned that the 25-year-old had to “fight for her life” to break free from her kidnapper.
“There were moments when she physically had to fight for her life and there were moments where she had to mentally fight for her life,” the matriarch added.
Carlee is healing from her traumatic kidnapping day by day, but her father Carlos said she’s currently struggling with “bad dreams” and “moments where some things make her cringe, afraid,” including loud noises. “Just different things that trigger,” Carlos added.
“She’s having to deal with the trauma of people just making completely false allegations about her,” Talitha added. “Carlee has given detectives her statement so that they can continue to pursue her abductor.”
Days later, Hoover Police held a press conference where authorities presented some surprising facts, including a report that prior to her alleged abduction, Russell used her phone to search for information about Amber Alerts, one-way bus tickets and Taken, the blockbuster film starring Liam Neeson about a pair of women that are kidnapped by human traffickers.
In the early morning hours of the day Russell was reported missing, a search on her phone was performed for the term “how to take money from a register without being caught.”
Derzis suggested Russell stole a bathrobe and other items belonging to her employer in the hours before she was reported missing. Russell also picked up food she ordered from a Greek restaurant, bought snacks from a Target store and stayed in the parking lot there until she drove to the highway where she reported the unaccompanied toddler, Derzis said.
However, when officers arrived at the side of Interstate 459 South, they only saw Russell’s car idling with one door open and her phone, watch and purse still inside. While the Greek food was also still there, the snacks and the bathrobe were not, Derzis said.
Derzis told reporters that Russell claimed she was kidnapped by a white man with orange hair, forced over a fence and into an 18-wheeler truck, where she was blindfolded but not bound and could hear the sounds of a baby and a woman’s voice. Derzis said Russell also told police that she was able to flee before being captured again. No physical or sexual contact was alleged, Derzis said. But Russell told police that when she was placed into another vehicle, she was able to escape by running through the woods until she emerged near her parents’ home.
Derzis said he noticed Russell has a small cut on her lip, a torn shirt and $107 in her right sock.
After the bombshell revelations were made, Russell’s boyfriend deleted a post on his Instagram that went viral in part because how he described her condition as being physically dire. Thomar Latrell Simmons’ post claimed Russell “was literally fighting for her life for 48 hours” and she was not “physically & mentally stable” as a result of her ordeal with “her kidnapper.”
One day later, Simmons said on Instagram that he was “disgusted” by Russell’s kidnapping hoax.
This is a developing story that will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Imagine being such a dedicated racist that you end up spending nearly a decade in prison because you just couldn’t stand to keep your hateful bigotry in the confines of your heart and away from Black people and people of color no matter how many times you were warned to by courts of law.
Such is the case for 54-year-old Suzanne Craft of Louisville, Kentucky. According to WHAS 11, Craft was sentenced to nine years behind bars followed by three years of supervised release for sending threatening letters to neighbors in Lake Forest of eastern Jefferson County for no discernable reason besides those neighbors failing to be born Caucasian.
In 2020, Craft mailed numerous threats of violence and racial slurs to an interracial couple and their children who lived in the same neighborhood. She was convicted of five counts of mailing threatening communications, and this was after she had been caught vandalizing at least two homes with swastikas and the N-word, for which she was reportedly sentenced to seven days of home incarceration. (Craft is her name, and arts and KKKrafts are, apparently, her game.)
From WHAS:
In 2020, Louisville Metro Police served Craft a criminal summons after two homes in the Lake Forest neighborhood were vandalized.
She then appeared in court in August later that year for violating a no-contact order from a different incident in June.
Michela Pineda testified Craft was caught on camera using chemicals and bleach to burn a swastika into the Pineda family’s lawn, weeks after the no-contact order was issued.
The Pineda family also say Craft was the person who spray-painted racial slurs on their driveway in June 2020.
It’s unclear if the threatening letters the FBI says Craft sent in 2020 were to the Pineda’s or a different family.
Vanessa Cantley, the attorney for Michaela and Connie Pineda, told the Courier-Journal that the letters, not only contained racial slurs, but the envelopes also contained bullets. Those letters, again, came after the alleged vandalism, which came after the no-contact order was issued, and she had been found guilty of contempt of court twice for violating that order. Again, this woman was simply bound and determined to be a bigot.
“This sentence sends a clear message regarding our commitment to ending hate-motivated violence and threats of violence,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “There is no room in civilized society for violent threats based on race.”
And if Craft hasn’t gotten that message by now—and it’s entirely possible that she still hasn’t considering her track record—at least she’ll be learning it behind bars.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Dear Amy: Should I decline opportunities to see friends or family if it is to attend an unpleasant activity?
My friends love watching painfully terrible movies and discussing the plot and production in excruciating detail.
And my family is upset that I don’t want to attend sporting events that I no longer enjoy due to my poor vision, auditory sensitivities, and overall lack of interest.
I just want to enjoy their company without these dreadful background distractions that are not in my wheelhouse, and they show disappointment when I decline or offer a quieter alternative.
I’ve tried to make the best of it, but I can’t even attend ironically.
– Unironic in IL
Dear Unironic: It’s a shame you can’t attend these movie events, even ironically, because a sense of irony (or of seeing the humor) can be extremely helpful – especially when listening to others gasbag on about a terrible movie.
I wonder, also, if these friends might be interested in viewing a movie of your choosing?
Overall, if you don’t want to attend a gathering – for any reason – then don’t attend. Your best strategy is to learn to tolerate others’ disappointment if you choose not to attend a gathering where you will be uncomfortable.
Your friends and family are trying to include you, and even when declining – you should thank them for the invitation.

Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for over 50 years. While we are physically unable to have sexual relations due to several health factors, I’m not missing it. Why? Because he has terrible hygiene practices and the biggest is not brushing his teeth enough. He has horrible halitosis now.
I can barely manage to travel short distances in the car with him. He likes to listen to music, but in the car, he whistles to it. He’s always unaware that when he does this, I put my hand over my nose and mouth, and direct the AC vents up toward him to help blow it away. He angers easily and gets insulted when I suggest he brush more and use mouthwash. I know if he tried to be more diligent regarding his breath, I would want to have some cuddle-up time.
He reads the newspaper cover to cover, so I’m hoping he will recognize himself and make some adjustments -- not just for me, but for us. -- Wishing I Could Talk to Him
Dear Wishing: After 50 years of marriage, there shouldn’t be anything you can’t say to your spouse. Instead of confronting him in an accusatory way, make sure to come from a place of kindness and concern. Let your husband know that you care about him and want to make sure, most importantly, that he’s taking care of himself. It’s not the easiest conversation to have but assure him that he shouldn’t be embarrassed. At the end of the day, you simply have his best interest at heart.

10 dogs die after air conditioning in truck fails during traffic delay
HOBART, Ind. (WLS) - Ten dogs died in Indiana during a drive from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Michigan.
Authorities said the driver did not know the air conditioning in the truck’s cargo failed.
Police arrived at a Lake Station, Indiana, gas station Thursday night for a report that 19 German shepherds became overheated while being transported to a training facility.
Ten of the dogs died as a result, according to officials.
WARNING: Some may find the content of this video disturbing.
The Humane Society of Hobart was called to the scene.
Police in Lake Station say the driver of the van, who picked the dogs up from Chicago O’Hare International Airport and was bound for a training facility in Michigan, was unaware that the air conditioning in the cargo area of the truck failed in the sweltering heat.
“We had cooling vans and animal care and control vehicles ready to transport. And because we were asking for that paperwork, it seemed to make the owner mad and so he said that he would not allow us to help,” Jenny Webber, with the Humane Society of Hobart, said.
Lake Station police posted a narrative of the situation on Facebook, calling it a “freak event” and not a matter of neglect on the part of the truck’s driver.
They went on to write the “scene was chaotic and took an emotional toll on all that were involved in trying to save as many canines as possible.”
The humane society said they believe the dogs were traveling to a Michigan trainer to become police dogs.
“This is truly a sad day for all of us,” Webber added.
Five German shepherds were still being treated in Lake Station and will go into the care of the humane society unless the owner claims the dogs.
The record-breaking temperatures stretching from coast-to-coast sparked heat alerts in multiple states.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Ford late on Thursday revealed the new Mustang Dark Horse R race car together with an associated one-make series known as the Mustang Challenge. The series starts in 2024 and will be sanctioned by IMSA.
Pricing for the turnkey race car starts at $145,000 and deliveries will begin in time for the first season of the Mustang Challenge. Ford hasn’t said how much a season of the Mustang Challenge will cost.
Ford said it designed the Mustang Dark Horse R to also be eligible for competition in “numerous” grassroots racing series, making the car ideal for up-and-coming drivers.
As the name suggests, the Mustang Dark Horse R is based on the Mustang Dark Horse, a track-focused but road-legal sports car that will join the rest of the redesigned 2024 Mustang range in showrooms this summer. A Mustang Dark Horse S track car is also planned at some point.
The Dark Horse R shares most of its parts with the regular Dark Horse, including a 500-plus-hp version of the Coyote 5.0-liter V-8. Also borrowed from the road car is the 6-speed manual transmission, Torsen limited-slip differential with a 3.73 final drive ratio, and aerodynamics package.
Key upgrades for racing include tow hooks and reinforced jacking points, improving cooling for the drivetrain, a Borla high-flow exhaust system, Multimatic DSSV dampers, adjustable front camber plates, adjustable anti-roll bars, Brembo racing brakes up front (stock Brembos remain at the rear), and custom 19-inch wheels wrapped in slick tires from Michelin.
The Dark Horse R’s cabin also comes stripped of features not required for track use. In place of these are an FIA-certified roll cage, safety nets, a race seat with safety belts (front passenger seat available), and a steering wheel with quick disconnect. A Motec data display and logging system also replaces the stock dash displays.
Ford hasn’t published a calendar for the first season of the Mustang Challenge but said the season will last 10-12 rounds, with some rounds coinciding with race weekends of other series. Each round will feature two practice sessions, one qualifying session, and two sprint races, with cash prizes awarded to top finishers.
The Dark Horse R is one of several racing versions of the latest Mustang. Others include the Mustang GT3, Mustang GT4, and Mustang GT Supercar. That last one is designed for Australia’s Supercars touring car series. Still coming is a new Mustang NASCAR race car that will compete starting in 2024.

Subaru is clearly contemplating what comes next as an edgier alternative to the WRX.
One such possibility is the WRX by Prodrive, a thoughtfully upgraded performance version of the current model for track days and performance driving.
The edgy alternative at Subaru dealerships used to be the WRX STI, which the company announced in March 2022 wouldn’t ever come back in the same form. “In the meantime, a next-generation internal combustion engine WRX STI will not be produced based upon the new WRX platform,” Subaru said with startling finality.
That doesn’t mean the STI is dead. Subaru hinted in the same statement that the STI may come back with electrification. Consider how the fully electric Solterra STI concept shown last year might fit alongside models such as the Kia EV6 GT.
But that would be a very different car.
As I recently experienced at the UK’s Millbrook Proving Ground, with a little time in the driver’s seat, the WRX by Prodrive shows how Subaru might provide loyal enthusiasts with their fix, despite a changing landscape.
This trick WRX was put together by Prodrive, a UK firm known for tuning and motorsports support—and for creating the exclusive $600,000 Prodrive P25 supercar I also drove at one of Millbrook’s handling courses.
While I’m pretty much charmed by any WRX, this one starts on the right note. One of the most distinctive elements I lock onto from across the infield addresses a pet peeve with the current WRX. Body-colored wheel arches in this version replace the stock car’s black-lipped ones, which simply venture too far into Outback and crossover territory. The wheel arch extensions add more than an inch of overall width, which probably adds to the impression—and there’s a rear wing that looks similar to the P25’s. It also gets the same size wheels as the P25, wearing P255/35R19 Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.
Prodrive says its WRX makes about 30 hp more than the stock WRX thanks to remapped engine management, putting total output just over 300 hp versus the standard WRX’s 271 hp. On the relatively tight road course, where I’m mostly in third gear with brief digs into second, it’s hard to feel that difference without a stock WRX on hand, but it feels robust and flexible in the midrange revs.
As I find in the same handling course where I drove the P25, there is one immediate, distinct difference versus a stock WRX: Its upgraded Sparco SPX front seats are a smart upgrade, as the car corners a lot flatter and they’re needed to hold occupants in place. Prodrive has boosted anti-roll bar stiffness front and rear, upgraded the suspension bushings, and uprated the specs for both the Bilstein dampers and springs.
The brakes have been upgraded, too, with a package similar to the P25 bringing 6-piston calipers in front and 4-piston calipers in back—larger all around, with sport pads. Only on my last lap do I begin driving this WRX hard enough to step hard into the brake pedal, and it’s more decisive than the stock WRX’s for sure.
While it’s hard to tell how much harsher this setup might ride on real-world roads, it doesn’t give the impression that it might make the WRX’s capabilities any less accessible. Like the best STI models—the 2008-2010 model in my mind—it opens up new potential.
The relative simplicity of the package and upgrades stands in contrast to the seemingly endless tuning changes and upgrades that STI models used to boast over the WRX. There’s no quicker-ratio steering, selectable center diff, or resonating exhaust, to name just a few.
If you can put some of those expectations aside, you’re not sure waiting for an electric STI is quite your thing, and you just want a better WRX, well, here it is.
Neither Subaru nor Prodrive will say if this might be sold as a package or a standalone car, by Subaru or by Prodrive, and price certainly isn’t mentioned. However, both insist that this represents a smart but relatively frugal set of accessories and improvements built on the stock Subaru WRX, which starts at $31,625 with a 6-speed manual (as this one has) for 2023. Seeing that Subaru of America got me out here, and it’s built on what’s essentially a U.S.-spec left-hand-drive car, it’s safe to say they’re interested.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

- China's housing ministry has announced plans to make it easier for people to buy property.
- They include easing purchase restrictions for people wanting to buy a second house, and reducing down payment ratios for first-time homebuyers, according to an article on the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's website.
- "It seems to us that [the housing ministry] is quick in response this time and also gets bolder on relaxing property policies," Jizhou Dong, China property research analyst at Nomura, said in a note Friday.
BEIJING — China's housing ministry has announced plans to make it easier for people to buy property.
The news, out late Thursday, indicates how different levels of government are starting to act just days after Beijing signaled a shift away from its crackdown on real estate speculation.
The planned measures include easing purchase restrictions for people wanting to buy a second house, and reducing down payment ratios for first-time homebuyers, according to an article on the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's website.

In an effort to reduce speculation in its massive property market, China has made it much harder for people to buy a second house.
Mortgage rates for the second purchase can be a full percentage point higher than for the first, while the second-home down payment ratio can skyrocket to 70% or 80% in large cities, according to Natixis.
Money Report
The housing ministry article referred to comments from its minister Ni Hong at a recent meeting with eight state-owned and non-state-owned companies in construction and real estate.
Since it was a meeting at the central government ministry level, it did not discuss policies for individual cities, said Bruce Pang, chief economist and head of research for Greater China at JLL.
But he expects Beijing will encourage local governments to announce real estate policy changes that fit their specific situation. Pang also pointed out that including construction companies at the meeting emphasized their role in promoting investment and stabilizing growth.
Waiting on details
China has not yet announced formal measures for supporting real estate. However, top level leaders on Monday signaled a greater focus on housing demand, rather than supply.
On Tuesday, China's State Taxation Administration announced "guidelines" for waiving or reducing housing-related taxes. It was not immediately clear what implementation would look like for home buyers.
The readout of Monday's Politburo meeting also removed the phrase "houses are for living in, not speculation," which has been a mantra for Beijing's tight stance and efforts to rein in developers' high reliance on debt for growth.
"It seems to us that [the housing ministry] is quick in response this time and also gets bolder on relaxing property policies," Jizhou Dong, China property research analyst at Nomura, said in a note Friday.
Given such speed, Dong expects markets are anticipating specific policy implementation in cities such as Shanghai or Guangzhou.
Hong Kong-traded Chinese property stocks such as Longfor, Country Garden and Greentown China traded higher Friday, on pace to close out the week with gains after plunging on Monday over debt worries.
"We continue to expect the property sector rally to continue and advise investors to focus on beta names within the property sector," Nomura's Dong said.
Those stocks include U.S.-listed Ke Holdings, as well as Hong Kong-listed Longfor and China Overseas Land and Investment, the report said, noting Nomura has a “buy” rating on all three.
"We still advise investors to stay away from weaker privately-owned developers." | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/chinas-housing-ministry-is-getting-bolder-about-real-estate-support/4543856/ | 2023-07-29T07:39:07 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/chinas-housing-ministry-is-getting-bolder-about-real-estate-support/4543856/ |
- Sweetgreen reported narrowing losses for its second quarter.
- Sweetgreen, which went public in November 2021, is aiming to turn a profit for the first time by 2024.
- But the salad chain's sales were weaker than expected.
Sweetgreen on Thursday reported quarterly sales that fell short of Wall Street's expectations, but losses did narrow from the year-earlier period.
The company also raised its forecast for restaurant-level margins and said it could break even on its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization this year. Sweetgreen, which went public in November 2021, is aiming to turn a profit for the first time by 2024.
Shares of the company fell 7% in extended trading. The stock closed Thursday down more than 5%.

Here's what the company reported:
- Loss per share: 24 cents (That's not comparable to an estimate of 16 cents, according to Refinitiv consensus estimates.)
- Revenue: $152.5 million vs. $156.7 million expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv
The salad chain reported a second-quarter net loss of $27.3 million, or 24 cents per share, narrower than its net loss of $40.5 million, or 37 cents per share, a year earlier.
Money Report
The company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 million, swinging from a loss of $7.8 million in the year-ago period.
"We were able to expand our margin pretty significantly at the restaurant-level margin, all while doing it with less G&A," CEO Jonathan Neman told CNBC.
The chain's restaurant-level profits expanded to 20% from 19% in the year-ago period.
Neman said the company's improved restaurant-level margins were largely due to labor savings from less turnover and more efficient store staffing. He also said the company has been spending less on its ingredients.
"I think our supply chain procurement team did an awesome job around the cost of our goods, maintaining the high quality we expect, but doing it in a much more disciplined way," Neman said.
Net sales rose 22% to $152.5 million, fueled by new restaurants.
One of those new locations includes its automated Infinite Kitchen restaurant in Naperville, Illinois, in May. The location has restaurant-level margins of 26%, well above that of the typical new Sweetgreen restaurant, Neman told investors on the conference call. A second Infinite Kitchen will open in Huntington Beach, California, by the end of the year.
The company's same-store sales grew 3% in the quarter, bolstered by price hikes. But a drop in delivery orders and promotions to boost its loyalty program weighed on its same-store sales, CFO Mitch Reback said.
For 2023, Sweetgreen now expects restaurant-level margins of 16% to 18%, up from its prior range of 15% to 17%. It also expects adjusted EBITDA in a range of a $10 million loss to breaking even. The company previously said is adjusted EBITDA would be a loss of $13 million to $3 million.
The company reiterated the rest of its outlook, projecting revenue of between $575 million and $595 million and same-store sales growth of 2% to 6%. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/salad-chain-sweetgreen-narrows-losses-but-reports-weak-sales/4542694/ | 2023-07-29T07:39:13 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/salad-chain-sweetgreen-narrows-losses-but-reports-weak-sales/4542694/ |
- Sen. Tim Scott is drawing the eye of wealthy donors as he pursues the Republican presidential nomination.
- A Hamptons event is set to be co-hosted by former Goldman Sachs and Trump official Gary Cohn, along with billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller.
- This development comes as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fails to gain more traction with voters and turns off some major donors.
- Former President Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in 2024 GOP primary polls.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is seeing a wave of wealthy donor interest as he runs for president, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis struggles in the polls and hunts for donors in the ritzy Hamptons on Long Island, according to people briefed on the matter and invites to events reviewed by CNBC.
Scott is planning to make a fundraising swing through the Hamptons himself during the second week of August, according to invitations to a gathering and a Republican fundraiser working on the 2024 election cycle.
The event is scheduled to take place on Aug. 9 in the wealthy enclave and is set to be co-hosted by former Trump National Economic Council director and one-time Goldman Sachs executive Gary Cohn, according to Republican financier and former Trump backer turned Scott supporter Andy Sabin.

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller will co-host, Sabin told CNBC.
The invitation to the event, which was first reviewed by CNBC, shows that the fundraiser will take place in East Hampton. The exact location will be provided once donors RSVP. James Herring, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, is also listed as a co-host. Herring has already donated $6,600 to Scott's 2024 run for president, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Marc Rowan, the CEO of Apollo Global Management and a previous Scott donor, is also listed on the invite as a co-host to the event.
Tickets for the event go anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 per person, with the money being directed toward the Tim Scott Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that benefits his presidential campaign and his leadership PAC. Couples can get into the event at $10,000.
The Scott event is set to happen just weeks after a fundraiser and donor meetings for DeSantis, including a gathering at the Southampton home of Robert Giuffra, who is a co-chair of legal powerhouse Sullivan & Cromwell. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will be in the Hamptons on Sunday for a fundraising event, according to an invitation reviewed by CNBC.
Money Report
Even as former President Donald Trump has an overwhelming lead over DeSantis and the rest of the field in the GOP primary contest, the money race forges on.
The Giuffra event for DeSantis raised north of $250,000, with at least 50 people attending, according to people briefed on the matter. Tickets went for $3,300 per person and $6,600 per couple, according to the invite. Trump's event over the same weekend in North Carolina reportedly raised over $2 million. Scott, meanwhile, raised just over $7 million in the second quarter and went into the third quarter with over $21 million on hand.
A spokesman for Scott's team declined to comment. A spokesman for Cohn did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Druckenmiller said he'd decline to comment. A Goldman spokeswoman did not return a request for comment.
Sabin, who originally told CNBC he was planning to back DeSantis before he got into the race for president, is listed as a co-host of the Scott East Hampton event. He said he can't attend because of a prior engagement. Still, Sabin is part of a growing group of donors he says have soured on DeSantis and are now leaning toward Scott because of the Florida governor's stance on abortion and his previous comments on the war in Ukraine.
Sabin said he's going to connect Scott with John Catsimatidis, a previous Trump donor and billionaire, who told the Washington Examiner he will not back DeSantis because he has not returned his phone calls.
DeSantis' problems, Scott's gains?
Despite an earlier report saying two DeSantis fundraising events were canceled, people familiar with the governor's trip said that wasn't the case. Instead, these people said, from the moment he landed in the Hamptons early last week, DeSantis was trying to recruit wealthy donors, including at gatherings with financiers at former Ambassador Clifford Sobel's home in Southampton and at the Sebonack Golf Club, which is located in the same town and owned by businessman Michael Pascucci.
Sobel, who is a managing partner at Valor Capital Group, donated $6,600 to DeSantis' campaign in late June, according to Federal Election Commission records. Sobel's massive home in Southampton boasts a private pool, beach access and a tennis court, according to Virtual Globetrotting, a website that tracks the properties of the rich and famous.
Pascucci, who did not donate to DeSantis' campaign in the second quarter, boasted in an interview with Business Jet Traveler in 2007 that he owned three private jets at the time: a Lear 55, a Gulfstream III, and and Embraer Legacy. Pascucci pledged $40 million to Bucknell University, his alma mater, in 2021.
Many of those who spoke to CNBC on the condition of anonymity to speak about private matters. Giuffra declined to comment. Pascucci and Sobel did not return requests for comment.
Meanwhile, as polls show DeSantis hanging well behind Trump, people familiar with the matter said that wealthy Republican megadonors such as cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder and hedge fund manager Paul Singer have both hinted to allies they are fans of Scott and could end up backing him. A spokesman for Lauder said he has not officially decided who he's going to support. A person close to Singer said the hedge fund executive is "not making any moves anytime soon" in regards to the 2024 GOP primary fight.
Singer has been a regular contributor to Scott's Senate campaigns since he first ran for the seat in 2014. Records show he has not given to any previous efforts in support of DeSantis. Lauder has donated over $200,000 to a DeSantis political action committee that backed his successful runs for governor, according to state campaign finance records. Politico reported earlier this month that Lauder met with Scott in Charleston after he announced his run for president.
Andrew Romeo, a spokesman for the DeSantis campaign, pointed CNBC to their fundraising efforts in the second quarter.
"Our campaign is grateful for the tens of thousands of grassroots supporters – and major donors – who have made it possible for us to build an unmatched organization in the early nominating states with the ability to compete for the long haul," Romeo said.
DeSantis' failure to gain traction in the race, even though many in the wealthy donor community thought he could be a strong alternative to Trump, has pushed some financiers toward Scott and other potential hopefuls such as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, these people explained.
The Virginia governor recently met with about 50 political financiers and leaders in Aspen, Colorado, this week at the Hotel Jerome, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Youngkin is heading to the Hamptons himself in August for an event hosted by former Trump Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, according to The Messenger.
The governor was noncommittal in Colorado to the group on whether or not he'll run for president this cycle, while he has said publicly he will not launch a campaign for president this year, this person said. The governor also admitted that if the polls and the pending primary results remain on track, with current surveys showing Trump dominating in the race, it would make virtually no sense for him to run for president this time, this person added.
Burning through cash
DeSantis' campaign burned through cash in the second quarter. It raised just over $20 million but finished the last quarter, which ended June 30, with around $12 million on hand, according to Federal Election Commission records. The campaign spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on travel-related expenses, including private flights for the governor and hotels.
Top DeSantis aides have acknowledged that the campaign needs to address money issues and are planning for a reboot, including hefty staff cuts, according to NBC News. The campaign plans to cut costs for events, NBC News reported. DeSantis won't travel less, but his campaign reportedly is aiming to make his appearances leaner and more intimate.
Some DeSantis donors are pointing to a key hire that could be helpful for the governor: longtime fundraising consultant Lisa Wagner who has joined the DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, according to two people briefed on the matter. A PAC official told CNBC that Wagner has been a "member of the finance team for some time now" and that she's been on contract with the committee for months.
The PAC has raised $130 million since its launch, including an over $80 million transfer from a state based PAC that backed DeSantis' successful runs for governor.
Phil Cox, one of DeSantis' previous top advisors, will also play a larger outside role for the campaign itself, including helping on the fundraising front, some of these people said.
Wagner has extensive experience working for presidential campaigns, including Sen. Mitt Romney's 2008 and 2012 Republican campaigns for president. She did not return a request for comment.
Don't expect the campaign to significantly cut spending for private air travel, though. A person familiar with DeSantis' thinking said the governor believes he needs to fly private, at times, due to the difficulties of flying out of Florida capital Tallahassee. He also likes to fly privately with his family and, in the campaign's view, it would be difficult flying commercial with a security team. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/tim-scott-sees-big-money-donor-interest-while-ron-desantis-hunts-for-cash/4545443/ | 2023-07-29T07:39:19 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/business/money-report/tim-scott-sees-big-money-donor-interest-while-ron-desantis-hunts-for-cash/4545443/ |

10 dogs die after air conditioning in truck fails during traffic delay
HOBART, Ind. (WLS) - Ten dogs died in Indiana during a drive from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Michigan.
Authorities said the driver did not know the air conditioning in the truck’s cargo failed.
Police arrived at a Lake Station, Indiana, gas station Thursday night for a report that 19 German shepherds became overheated while being transported to a training facility.
Ten of the dogs died as a result, according to officials.
WARNING: Some may find the content of this video disturbing.
The Humane Society of Hobart was called to the scene.
Police in Lake Station say the driver of the van, who picked the dogs up from Chicago O’Hare International Airport and was bound for a training facility in Michigan, was unaware that the air conditioning in the cargo area of the truck failed in the sweltering heat.
“We had cooling vans and animal care and control vehicles ready to transport. And because we were asking for that paperwork, it seemed to make the owner mad and so he said that he would not allow us to help,” Jenny Webber, with the Humane Society of Hobart, said.
Lake Station police posted a narrative of the situation on Facebook, calling it a “freak event” and not a matter of neglect on the part of the truck’s driver.
They went on to write the “scene was chaotic and took an emotional toll on all that were involved in trying to save as many canines as possible.”
The humane society said they believe the dogs were traveling to a Michigan trainer to become police dogs.
“This is truly a sad day for all of us,” Webber added.
Five German shepherds were still being treated in Lake Station and will go into the care of the humane society unless the owner claims the dogs.
The record-breaking temperatures stretching from coast-to-coast sparked heat alerts in multiple states.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Largest commercial communications satellite ever built will more than double the capacity of the Hughes JUPITER fleet
GERMANTOWN, Md., July 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) company, today announced its JUPITER™ 3 ultra high-density satellite has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from historic Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A in Florida. Also known as EchoStar XXIV, JUPITER 3 was built by Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, CA, and is engineered to deliver gigabytes of connectivity to customers across North and South America.
On July 29 at 2:32 a.m. EDT, three hours and twenty-eight minutes after lift-off, JUPITER 3 successfully deployed from the launch vehicle. The satellite began sending and receiving its first signals, and engineers deployed the JUPITER 3 solar arrays, which unfolded in space to their full ten-story span.
"JUPITER 3 is the highest capacity, highest performing satellite we've ever launched. As the leading provider and inventor of satellite internet, we're proud to herald the start of a new era of connectivity and serve more customers where cable and fiber cannot," said Hamid Akhavan, CEO, EchoStar. "This purpose-built satellite is engineered uniquely to meet our customers' needs and target capacity where it's needed most, such as the most rural regions of the Americas, so they can stay connected to the applications and services they depend on every day."
Over the next several weeks, JUPITER 3 will travel into a geosynchronous orbit 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the Earth to its destination at the 95 degrees west orbital slot. It will then undergo extensive bus and payload testing before entering service and augmenting the Hughes JUPITER fleet with more than 500 Gbps of additional capacity.
"Whether helping a student in Mexico expand her horizons with access to technology, connecting a farmer in Idaho with the tools to monitor his crops, or connecting a senior in Montana to her doctor via a telehealth appointment, JUPITER 3 will connect our customers to what matters most," added Akhavan.
With JUPITER 3, Hughes will enhance its HughesNet® offerings for customers in the U.S. and Latin America with more broadband capacity overall and higher speed plans in many markets—some with download speeds up to 100 Mbps. The company will also offer higher speed HughesNet Fusion® plans, the innovative low-latency home internet that leverages multipath technology to blend satellite and wireless technologies seamlessly into a low-latency satellite internet experience.
With dense, high-throughput capacity across the Americas, JUPITER 3 will also support applications such as in-flight Wi-Fi, enterprise networking and cellular backhaul for mobile network operators (MNOs).

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

To wrap, or not to wrap? Hungarian bookstores face fines over closed packaging for LGBTQ+ books
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — In a snug, wood-paneled Jewish bookstore in Hungary’s capital, Eva Redai carefully climbed the rungs of a ladder to arrange titles on the shelves. Among the books were volumes bound in plastic wrapping — titles containing LGBTQ+ content that the country’s right-wing government has deemed unsuitable for minors under 18.
The 76-year-old has run the Láng Téka bookstore in central Budapest for nearly 35 years, since just before Hungary’s democratic transition from state socialism. But never, until now, has she needed to segregate the books she sells to avoid violating a government ban.
“I consider this such a level of discrimination. This law is an act of force that can hardly be made sense of,” Redai said. “As someone who’s been in this business for such a long time, even I cannot decide which books fall under the ban.”
Hungary’s government under populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban has in recent years taken a hard line on LGBTQ+ issues, passing legislation that rights groups and European politicians have decried as repressive against sexual minorities.
A “child protection” law, passed in 2021, bans the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality in content available to minors, including in television, films, advertisements and literature. It also prohibits the mention of LGBTQ+ issues in school education programs, and forbids the public depiction of “gender deviating from sex at birth.”
Hungary’s government insists that the law, part of a broader statute that also increases criminal penalties for pedophilia and creates a searchable database of sex offenders, is necessary to protect children. But it is seen by Orban’s critics as an attempt to stigmatize lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and conflate homosexuality with pedophilia.
Earlier this month, a government office levied a hefty fine against Hungary’s second-largest bookstore chain for violating the contentious law. Líra Könyv was ordered to pay 12 million forints (around $35,000) for placing a popular LGBTQ+ graphic novel in its youth literature section, and for failing to place it in closed packaging.
The fine, the second issued by the government in a single month, sent booksellers rushing to determine whether selling certain titles without closed packaging could result in financial penalties for their own stores. Along with outlawing LGBTQ+ content for minors, the law also prohibits depicting “sexuality for its own sake” to audiences under 18 — a rule that could potentially apply to countless works of literature.
Krisztian Nyary, an author and the creative director for Líra Könyv, said that the language of the law contains many ambiguities, which places a burden on booksellers to determine which of the thousands of titles they offer may contain proscribed content.
“The practical problem is that the sellers are supposed to decide what the law applies to and what it does not,” Nyary said, adding that the Bible, too, depicts homosexuality. “In a small bookstore of four to five thousand titles, or a large one with sixty to seventy thousand titles, a bookseller does not know in much detail what the books contain.”
Nyary said Líra Könyv plans to challenge the fine in court, and does not intend to begin placing books in closed packaging. The requirement to do so is “anti-culture,” he said, and could carry adverse financial effects as well.
“The ability to sell a packaged book is one-tenth of what it is when it’s unpackaged. It’s like putting a painting in a dark basement: Everyone knows it’s there, but you can’t look at it,” he said.
The Láng Téka bookstore, a much smaller business, has opted to comply with the law. On Wednesday, an employee packaged titles that depict homosexuality in household cellophane wrap, and slid them onto the packed shelves. Eva Redai, the shop owner, posted a sign on the front window reading, “In this bookshop, we also sell books with ‘non-traditional content’.”
“This is completely against my own principles and thoughts,” Redai said. “But obviously, I’m a law-abiding person, and I also don’t want to pay a fine of several million forints for my non-existent crime. So we, too, are trying to obey the laws which they have recently forced on us.”
Mark Mezei, a novelist in Budapest, has published a book which contains a lesbian relationship — making his work subject to the restrictions. But he believes Hungary’s legislation, which he described as “bad for democracy,” will not have a chilling effect on authors.
“Whoever wants to write is going to write … it doesn’t matter what legislators think,” he said. “That we live in times when such a thing can happen is not up to me. But as a writer, this doesn’t influence me at all.”
Others, too, are resisting the legislation. A group of university activists this week have given away over 100 free copies of what they call “banned books” — those subject to the closed packaging provision — in front of one of Budapest’s largest bookstores.
One activist, 22-year-old Vince Sajosi, said on Wednesday that Hungary’s law reduces the accessibility of important works and “restricts a process of social development.”
“We want these books to appear in Hungarian literary public life and in everyday conversations, which is why we want to give them to people for free,” he said.
Redai, the bookstore owner, said that in Hungary today, people that identify as non-heterosexual “are being stigmatized and ostracized, and they are not considered equal members of society, which I simply find outrageous.”
“This feeds into an idea that, unfortunately, already happened in the 20th century, where people were judged and persecuted based on their appearance, skin color, religion or other affiliation, and many, many people fell victim to this idea,” she said. “Quite simply, this could be the beginning of something terrible that so many of us have tried to forget.”

LGBTQ+ community proud and visible at Women’s World Cup
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson has helped create two milestones at the Women’s World Cup.
With her 48th-minute goal in the tournament opener against Norway, she led the co-host Football Ferns to their first win in six trips to the Women’s World Cup. She’s also one of at least 95 out members of the LGBTQ+ community competing in this year’s tournament, according to a count being kept by Outsports, a website that covers the LGBTQ+ sports.
The Ferns were greeted with a fan-made sign at their next match in Wellington: “Gay for soccer, gay for Wilkie,” it read.
The 95 out participants make up roughly 13% of the 736 total players at the Women’s World Cup, more than doubling the 40 players and coaches Outsports counted in 2019.
The 2023 tournament also is hosting the first openly trans and non-binary player in either a men’s or Women’s World Cup, Quinn of Canada.
“Last World Cup was so big, especially with the visibility of the U.S. women’s national team winning and (Megan Rapinoe) fighting with (Donald) Trump. So I think that was a huge year for LGBTQ+ visibility,” said Lindsey Freeman, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
“It’s just the ad hoc, fun culture of women’s soccer that you’re seeing in this World Cup,” said Freeman, who is in New Zealand conducting research on the topic.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, agreed. “In the Western world, it’s such a non-issue that it really just doesn’t get talked about,” he said. “And I think that’s in a good way.”
VISIBILITY
Prior to the start of the tournament, FIFA designated eight socially conscious armbands team captains could wear throughout the Women’s World Cup. The decision came after “One Love” armbands were denied to men’s teams in Qatar in 2022.
The armbands being used this year include anti-discriminatory sayings and multiple colors, but the rainbow version Germany wanted to use is not allowed. None of the available options explicitly mention LGBTQ+ rights.
The decision has led many players to express their support in more creative ways across Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand midfielder Ali Riley was interviewed on the official Women’s World Cup broadcast after her team’s upset of Norway. Her painted fingernails, left hand in the colors of the pride flag and right hand as the trans flag, were clearly visible as she held her head and fought back tears.
“She’s such an advocate and she’s definitely someone who uses her platform in such a positive way. We are all so proud of her and the way she represents the LGBTQ+ community,” teammate CJ Bott said. “Good on her. We’re all backing her, and we all back the community as well.”
The Philippines, making its Women’s World Cup debut, took home its own historic win over New Zealand 1-0 thanks to the foot of Sarina Bolden. Bolden’s Instagram bio reads, “i just wanna have fun n b gay.”
Irish star Katie McCabe wowed fans with a goal directly from a corner kick. She’s also made tabloid news for her relationships with other players.
Thembi Kgatlana, who has scored in the tournament for South Africa, has a patch of her hair dyed rainbow colors.
“My personality is very big for me, and my hair has become a part of my personality,” Kgatlana said. “And I did this rainbow because I want to represent all the people that are part of the LGBTQ and cannot talk while in countries where they’re oppressed.”
FAN EXPERIENCE
Kristen Pariseau and her wife started a U.S. women’s national team supporters group on Facebook ahead of traveling to this year’s Women’s World Cup. Aside from some hateful users she blocked, it’s been “super LGBT friendly.”
She and her wife did not go to Qatar for the 2022 men’s World Cup to avoid referencing each other as friends and receiving questions on their sexuality. In New Zealand, she said she’s met many same-sex couples at games and while traveling around the country.
“Everywhere you turn, it’s like, ‘Oh, my wife, my girlfriend.’ It’s been so welcoming and open,” Pariseau said. “In a way, it is kind of cool to be where there’s a lot of other people like you.”
Kelsie Bozart took her own pride flag armband to the United States’ second match in Wellington, along with a pride scarf.
“If you look back a couple years, I feel like it just wasn’t really talked about or there just wasn’t much of a presence,” Bozart said. “But moving forward I feel like, especially for the U.S., they’ve done an amazing job of just incorporating pride and LGBTQ.”
NOT UNIVERSAL
Though this year’s tournament has highlighted vast gains for the LGBTQ+ community in women’s soccer, advocates feel there is still work to be done.
According to Buzinski and Outsports, there were at least 186 LGBTQ+ athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Women outnumbered men by a 9:1 ratio. There also were no confirmed out players at the 2022 men’s World Cup.
“I think women’s sports have always been open,” Denmark striker Pernille Harder said, adding that there are many role models for women who want to come out.
Freeman said it would be good to see men feel the same level of comfort.
“What can happen in the women’s game, I would love to spill over to the men’s game,” she said. “Because obviously, there’s way more queer players in the men’s game and it’s just not safe for them to come out.
“If you want to say that you’re in an inclusive space, you really have to be an inclusive space,” Freeman added. “And I think that that includes also holding the World Cup in places where it’s fine to be a queer person.”

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

Largest commercial communications satellite ever built will more than double the capacity of the Hughes JUPITER fleet
GERMANTOWN, Md., July 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) company, today announced its JUPITER™ 3 ultra high-density satellite has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from historic Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A in Florida. Also known as EchoStar XXIV, JUPITER 3 was built by Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, CA, and is engineered to deliver gigabytes of connectivity to customers across North and South America.

Racing will resume at Churchill Downs in September, with no changes being made after a review of surfaces and safety protocols in the wake of 12 horse deaths, including seven in the days leading up to the Kentucky Derby in May.
The Louisville track suspended racing operations on June 7 and moved the rest of its spring meet to Ellis Park in western Kentucky at the recommendation of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, the sport’s national overseer.
Training continued at Churchill Downs during the track’s investigation.
Churchill Downs Inc. CEO Bill Carstanjen called the deaths "a series of unfortunate circumstances” and said the review “didn’t find anything fundamentally wrong or different about our track from previous years.”
“That, in a sense, can sometimes be unsatisfying,” he said. “But that’s business, and that’s sports.”
Two of the horse deaths occurred in undercard races on Derby day. Another five died later.
“The takeaway is, the track is very safe,” Carstanjen said Thursday on an earnings call with CDI investors.
"What we needed to do was spend some of this time in the interim, while we ran the rest of the (spring) meet at Ellis to just go soup to nuts through every single thing we do at the racetrack. There was nothing that jumped out as an apparent cause of the injuries, of the breakdowns; and, as we went through and rebuilt our processes from the ground up to check everything that we do to make extra sure, we didn’t find anything material.”
The track's fall meet begins Sept. 14 and runs through Oct. 1. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/churchill-downs-to-resumes-racing-in-september-with-no-changes-after-horse-deaths/3305931/ | 2023-07-29T07:48:53 | 1 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/churchill-downs-to-resumes-racing-in-september-with-no-changes-after-horse-deaths/3305931/ |

ATLANTA – The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the Atlanta Braves 10-7 in the series opener. Milwaukee struck first in the second inning when Abraham Toro grounded out to plate Sal Frelick. The Crew added on later in the frame courtesy of a Tyrone Taylor single that brought home Andruw Monasterio to take a 2-0 lead.
Atlanta got both of those runs back when former Milwaukee shortstop Orlando Arcia singled to score Marcell Ozuna and Eddie Rosario. With the game tied at two, Ronald Acuna singled to drive in Arcia to put the Braves up by one.
Joey Wiemer doubled in the fourth to reclaim the lead for Milwaukee, but Atlanta tied the game in the bottom of the fourth off of an Ozuna solo home run. The Braves took the lead back in the fifth thanks to an Ozzie Albies single to score Acuna. Later in the inning, Matt Olson brought in Albies to put Atlanta up 6-4.
The Braves broke the game open in the seventh when Austin Riley and Matt Olson went back to back to increase the lead to 8-4. Eddie Rosario followed that later in the frame with a two-run single to put Atlanta at double digits.
Milwaukee got half of those runs back in the bottom of the seventh off of an Abraham Toro three-run home run to cut the deficit down to 10-7, which held for the rest of the contest.
Milwaukee tries to even the series tomorrow. Former Braves starter Julio Teheran (2-3, 3.75) takes the hill for the Crew against Bryce Elder (7-2, 3.30).

Ford late on Thursday revealed the new Mustang Dark Horse R race car together with an associated one-make series known as the Mustang Challenge. The series starts in 2024 and will be sanctioned by IMSA.
Pricing for the turnkey race car starts at $145,000 and deliveries will begin in time for the first season of the Mustang Challenge. Ford hasn’t said how much a season of the Mustang Challenge will cost.
Ford said it designed the Mustang Dark Horse R to also be eligible for competition in “numerous” grassroots racing series, making the car ideal for up-and-coming drivers.
As the name suggests, the Mustang Dark Horse R is based on the Mustang Dark Horse, a track-focused but road-legal sports car that will join the rest of the redesigned 2024 Mustang range in showrooms this summer. A Mustang Dark Horse S track car is also planned at some point.
The Dark Horse R shares most of its parts with the regular Dark Horse, including a 500-plus-hp version of the Coyote 5.0-liter V-8. Also borrowed from the road car is the 6-speed manual transmission, Torsen limited-slip differential with a 3.73 final drive ratio, and aerodynamics package.
Key upgrades for racing include tow hooks and reinforced jacking points, improving cooling for the drivetrain, a Borla high-flow exhaust system, Multimatic DSSV dampers, adjustable front camber plates, adjustable anti-roll bars, Brembo racing brakes up front (stock Brembos remain at the rear), and custom 19-inch wheels wrapped in slick tires from Michelin.
The Dark Horse R’s cabin also comes stripped of features not required for track use. In place of these are an FIA-certified roll cage, safety nets, a race seat with safety belts (front passenger seat available), and a steering wheel with quick disconnect. A Motec data display and logging system also replaces the stock dash displays.
Ford hasn’t published a calendar for the first season of the Mustang Challenge but said the season will last 10-12 rounds, with some rounds coinciding with race weekends of other series. Each round will feature two practice sessions, one qualifying session, and two sprint races, with cash prizes awarded to top finishers.
The Dark Horse R is one of several racing versions of the latest Mustang. Others include the Mustang GT3, Mustang GT4, and Mustang GT Supercar. That last one is designed for Australia’s Supercars touring car series. Still coming is a new Mustang NASCAR race car that will compete starting in 2024.

Subaru is clearly contemplating what comes next as an edgier alternative to the WRX.
One such possibility is the WRX by Prodrive, a thoughtfully upgraded performance version of the current model for track days and performance driving.
The edgy alternative at Subaru dealerships used to be the WRX STI, which the company announced in March 2022 wouldn’t ever come back in the same form. “In the meantime, a next-generation internal combustion engine WRX STI will not be produced based upon the new WRX platform,” Subaru said with startling finality.
That doesn’t mean the STI is dead. Subaru hinted in the same statement that the STI may come back with electrification. Consider how the fully electric Solterra STI concept shown last year might fit alongside models such as the Kia EV6 GT.
But that would be a very different car.
As I recently experienced at the UK’s Millbrook Proving Ground, with a little time in the driver’s seat, the WRX by Prodrive shows how Subaru might provide loyal enthusiasts with their fix, despite a changing landscape.
This trick WRX was put together by Prodrive, a UK firm known for tuning and motorsports support—and for creating the exclusive $600,000 Prodrive P25 supercar I also drove at one of Millbrook’s handling courses.
While I’m pretty much charmed by any WRX, this one starts on the right note. One of the most distinctive elements I lock onto from across the infield addresses a pet peeve with the current WRX. Body-colored wheel arches in this version replace the stock car’s black-lipped ones, which simply venture too far into Outback and crossover territory. The wheel arch extensions add more than an inch of overall width, which probably adds to the impression—and there’s a rear wing that looks similar to the P25’s. It also gets the same size wheels as the P25, wearing P255/35R19 Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.
Prodrive says its WRX makes about 30 hp more than the stock WRX thanks to remapped engine management, putting total output just over 300 hp versus the standard WRX’s 271 hp. On the relatively tight road course, where I’m mostly in third gear with brief digs into second, it’s hard to feel that difference without a stock WRX on hand, but it feels robust and flexible in the midrange revs.
As I find in the same handling course where I drove the P25, there is one immediate, distinct difference versus a stock WRX: Its upgraded Sparco SPX front seats are a smart upgrade, as the car corners a lot flatter and they’re needed to hold occupants in place. Prodrive has boosted anti-roll bar stiffness front and rear, upgraded the suspension bushings, and uprated the specs for both the Bilstein dampers and springs.
The brakes have been upgraded, too, with a package similar to the P25 bringing 6-piston calipers in front and 4-piston calipers in back—larger all around, with sport pads. Only on my last lap do I begin driving this WRX hard enough to step hard into the brake pedal, and it’s more decisive than the stock WRX’s for sure.
While it’s hard to tell how much harsher this setup might ride on real-world roads, it doesn’t give the impression that it might make the WRX’s capabilities any less accessible. Like the best STI models—the 2008-2010 model in my mind—it opens up new potential.
The relative simplicity of the package and upgrades stands in contrast to the seemingly endless tuning changes and upgrades that STI models used to boast over the WRX. There’s no quicker-ratio steering, selectable center diff, or resonating exhaust, to name just a few.
If you can put some of those expectations aside, you’re not sure waiting for an electric STI is quite your thing, and you just want a better WRX, well, here it is.
Neither Subaru nor Prodrive will say if this might be sold as a package or a standalone car, by Subaru or by Prodrive, and price certainly isn’t mentioned. However, both insist that this represents a smart but relatively frugal set of accessories and improvements built on the stock Subaru WRX, which starts at $31,625 with a 6-speed manual (as this one has) for 2023. Seeing that Subaru of America got me out here, and it’s built on what’s essentially a U.S.-spec left-hand-drive car, it’s safe to say they’re interested.

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Two weeks after a Fresno man was shot and killed, his wife is speaking out for the very first time.
Leticia Rodriguez says Simon’s mother had just arrived from Mexico, 24 hours prior, and was hoping to spend time with him, not knowing he would be gunned down, just steps from his home.
“This is very hard for me,” said Leticia during a press conference on Friday afternoon. “My husband meant everything to me the only mistake we made that night was to walk home because it was close.”
The couple was walking home from a party on July 16 in the areas of Thorn Avenue and Geary Street when a man walked up and tried to rob them.
“At that time, our victim in the case, Simon was going to protect his family, he was going to protect his wife, he decided to fight back and overpowered him,” said Chief Paco Balderrama, with the Fresno Police Department
Investigators say a white car pulled up.
“A Hispanic male suspect got out of the rear passenger side and opened fire,” said Balderrama.
Simon was shot multiple times and died on route to the hospital. Leticia was shot in the hospital.
“We wanted to build a family. That didn’t happen,” she said.
The reward in this case has gone up to $5,000. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fresno Police Department. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/build-a-family-shooting-victims-family-speaks-up/ | 2023-07-29T07:55:17 | 1 | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/build-a-family-shooting-victims-family-speaks-up/ |
(NEXSTAR) — Is it your lucky day? Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot is a massive $940 million, the eighth-largest prize in the game’s history. Winning numbers for the July 28 jackpot are: 52, 28, 5, 63, and 10. The Mega ball number is 18. Friday’s Megaplier is 5X.
The estimated $940 million prize has been building since someone last matched all six numbers and won the jackpot April 18. Since then, there have been 28 straight drawings without a jackpot winner.
The $940 million pot on the line Friday night will be that high only if a single player wins and they choose to be paid through an annuity of one immediate payment or 30 annual allotments. But jackpot winners nearly always take the cash in a lump sum, which for Friday night’s drawing would be an estimated $472.5 million.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Tickets are $2 and there are a total of nine ways to win a prize. Drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET Tuesdays and Fridays.

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.
