The leadership of the Alabama Democratic Party (ADP) Saturday kicked members of the public out of a meeting without starting it.
ADP Chair Randy Kelley said in an interview Saturday afternoon that they had to conduct the meeting in an executive session because members of the public were being disruptive.
“They weren’t on the committee,” he said. “They were a guest. And we didn’t know who those people were.”
The motion at the first meeting since the party leaders passed new bylaws and eliminated diversity caucuses in May, came amid a protest from about 15 members of the eliminated groups and supporters.
As a result of eliminating diversity caucuses, 53 members lost a seat on the party’s State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC). The state Democratic Party faces an investigation by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the bylaw changes and elimination of caucuses.
The Saturday board meeting’s agenda included a vote to approve job descriptions for the party’s executive director and director of communications. It also included a report from the chairman as well as a delegate selection report, a report on the process of selecting delegates for the national party convention, and a congressional reapportionment update.
Michelle French, a member of the SDEC, the governing body of the organization, attended the protest Saturday. She said she saw a young, diverse and energetic party during SDEC elections at a meeting in August 2022. Now, she said, she couldn’t believe she had to protest her own party.
“They’re disenfranchising their own people,” she said.
Before establishing quorum, ADP Chair Kelley and Joe Reed, chair of the Minority (Black) Caucus, attempted to stop attendees from recording the meeting. Kelley repeatedly asked that people unplug their devices, and Reed threatened to throw recording devices outside.
“The chairman is presiding,” Reed said. “The chairman has ruled that there will be no taping and no film. If you got a tape or a film in this room, unplug it out of these walls.”
Members said the state party bylaws require meetings to be open to the public.
James Ward, the vice chair of the Hispanic caucus that was abolished in May and elected member of the SDEC, objected to the request, saying that allowing recording would help restore trust in the state party.
“There is a lack of trust in your leadership, and I’d like to record,” he said.
In the interview after the party meeting, Kelley said “they’re not recording our meeting for any good.”
“They are recording our meeting in order to undermine our organization,” Kelley said.
Tabitha Isner, the vice chair of the state party, objected to Reed’s request, stating that Alabama’s law allows recording when at least one party – the person recording – knows about it.
Reed interrupted her and shouted, “You be quiet, girl.”
Representation
At a May 6 meeting, the SDEC voted to abolish the youth, LGBTQ+ and disabled caucuses, while reducing the power of other minority caucuses. The meeting was tumultuous. Members of the affected caucuses, some of whom are Black, sharply criticized the moves, saying they stripped key groups of representation. They also criticized the passing of the bylaws and called the vote questionable.
Kelley and Reed argued the prior bylaws diluted the power of Black Democrats, the biggest part of Alabama’s Democratic electorate, to lead the party. Kelley, who has called the critics “losers,” said that the changes did not cost anyone representation and better reflect the Democratic electorate.
SDEC member Eddgra Fallin, in an exchange outside before the meeting with protesting members, said that Black Democrats deserve more representation than other minority groups “because of slavery” and “that’s why [Black Democrats] get to determine.”
“When Hispanics came to this country, they didn’t come into slave ships. They weren’t forced to labor for free for 400 years. They did not suffer Jim Crow. They have the right to vote. They have not had to fight for anything,” she said.
A large share of Hispanic and Latino immigrants remain in the country without legal status due to problems in the nation’s immigration system. Legal residence does not give an immigrant the right to vote. Only after becoming a naturalized citizen would an immigrant be allowed to vote.
Children of immigrants brought into the country long before they could make decisions for themselves, have been fighting for the right to work and go to school in the country for over 20 years.
Complaints
Isner and 42 other Democrats filed a complaint in June with the state party. The DNC voted in June to review the complaint.
After the Saturday meeting, Isner said that the only thing that could have warranted an executive meeting was personnel matters related to salary. She said that during the executive meeting, they rehashed the argument that “no one lost representation” with the new bylaws, discussed delegate plans and tried to remove her from the 1st vice chair position. She also said that three vice chairs presented reports, but she was not involved in drafting the agenda and was not asked to bring a report.
Since the original complaint, there has been two more filed: one by Ralph Young, a member of the ADP, and April Hodges, chair of the abolished Hispanic caucus.
Young sent a letter dated July 1 to the Democratic National Committee asking rules and bylaws committee (RBC) co-chairs to place a restraining order on the vote concerning the delegate plan. Young’s letter to the RBC cited Hodges’ complaint, another party member, alleging the state party purged at-large members because of their race, ethnicity and other identifying factors.
Fallin said it was “insulting” that they were being accused of discrimination and exclusion, because “nothing is true.” | https://www.al.com/news/2023/07/you-be-quiet-girl-alabama-democrats-board-meeting-made-private-after-members-protest.html | 2023-07-30T00:33:57 | 1 | https://www.al.com/news/2023/07/you-be-quiet-girl-alabama-democrats-board-meeting-made-private-after-members-protest.html |

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The troubled brother of the late NFL player Aaron Hernandez was charged Friday, now in federal court, with new counts of threatening and stalking after authorities say he threatened to shoot up the University of Connecticut and kill three people in another state.
Dennis Hernandez was ordered to be held in custody after his appearance in the court in Hartford. A message seeking comment was sent Friday night to his attorney.
The new charges came days after it emerged that Hernandez was arrested July 18 on state charges after police said he threatened to kill officers and then urged them to shoot him at his home in Bristol. Officers had gone there after two people close to him raised concerns about his mental health, police said.
The arrest report said the 37-year-old had sent threatening messages, including ones about carrying out a shooting at UConn. He was a Huskies quarterback and wide receiver who went by DJ Hernandez in the mid-2000s.
Court filings in the new federal case include the same messages. Some say the writer is struggling financially, is frustrated at seeing other people get hired as coaches, feels owed by UConn, is planning on “taking down everything” and doesn’t care “who gets caught in the crossfire.”
“I’ve died for years now and now its others peoples turn,” read a July 7 message sent to a woman in Hernandez’s life. It followed a message the day before that warned: “UConn’s gonna see how accurate I am too with my targets.”
Hernandez told another person that he drove July 7 to UConn’s campus in Storrs and to Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island, where he coached quarterbacks during the 2010-11 season, according to court papers.
He had been due in state court that day on another case stemming from allegations that he threw a bag containing a brick and a note over a fence and onto ESPN’s property in Bristol.
UConn police confirmed that a vehicle linked to Hernandez was on campus that day. Brown has said that its investigation didn’t indicate Hernandez had been on campus in recent weeks.
Hernandez is due back in state court Tuesday and in federal court Aug. 11.
His younger brother, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, killed himself in 2017 while serving a murder sentence. | https://www.localsyr.com/sports-news/ap-aaron-hernandezs-brother-now-facing-federal-charges-over-alleged-threatening-messages/ | 2023-07-30T00:34:00 | 0 | https://www.localsyr.com/sports-news/ap-aaron-hernandezs-brother-now-facing-federal-charges-over-alleged-threatening-messages/ |
Every spring and summer questions are raised by serious bluegill fishermen. How many should a person keep? Is it better to keep the males or females? Those are valid questions when considering there is no size or bag limit on the tasty panfish. The answers depends on who you ask.
Most anglers and fishery biologists are in agreement that there’s nothing wrong or unethical about plucking a stringer full of gills off spawning beds during springtime. They are easy to spot, can congregate in large numbers and easy to catch.
Bluegills are the most prolific native gamefish in Indiana. They build hundreds of saucer-shaped nests and some might even bed multiple times a year, producing thousands of eggs with each spawn.
But the debate continues. There is one camp of anglers who believe in taking only the males, since there are generally more of them. They are conservative in taking females since they are the egg-layers.
At age 64, Bob Ramer, who lives in Kosciusko County, lives to fish for the tasty fish. But he has a different theory. “The males are the ones who protect the nest after the females drop their eggs,” he noted. “When you take the male, it exposes the eggs for other fish to raid. I think it’s better to take the females.”
In case you’re wondering, you can tell the difference in gender by coloration. Males are far more colorful and have a bright orange patch under the chin. Females generally are less showy.
Ramer, as well as many serious bluegill fanatics, is also concerned that spawning season can hurt bluegill quality in small lakes. People can congregate and take large numbers of the tasty fish, and although not depleting the lake, they can seriously diminish the numbers of those that are keeper size. This is one reason ethical pan fishermen encourage others to use common sense with the number of sunfish they take home. For that reason some prefer to fish multiple lakes during the spawn to avoid reaping too many from one single body of water.
Jeremy Price, IDNR Fisheries Supervisor, says there’s no biological reason to be overly concerned with taking males over females or vice-versa. “First, the female spends very little time on the nest,” he explained. “Secondly, although the males may spend more time there, they don’t guard the nest as diligently or aggressively as a bass does during the spawning season,” he added. “More importantly, bluegills are laying thousands of eggs and are biologically engineered to produce far more young than a lake can handle.” In other words, it’s extremely hard to completely fish out a lake with bluegills.
Price says there are several factors that come into play when deciding on how many to keep. “It can go either way,” he explained. “If the lake has a large number of bigger fish then you want to be judicious with your catch so you help protect the size quality of the population.” On the other hand Price says if the lake has a large number of smaller, stunted fish then large numbers need to be removed. “In this area it takes a bluegill seven years to reach eight inches,” he added.
Although Indiana does not have a size or bag limit on the popular pan fish, some states do. But that could change in the future since many believe there should be restrictions on the number a person should keep for the frying pan.
“A bag limit may not affect the overall population, but it could help distribute the size,” Price explained. “Plus we just finished our annual survey of licensed anglers and two-thirds of respondents think there should be some type of creel limit.” So for the time being just how many bluegills should an angler keep and which ones? I guess only you can be the judge.
KOKOMO BASS ANGLERS
Members of the Kokomo Bass Anglers held a night tournament from Midnight to 8 a.m. on Geist Reservoir. Chance Taskey won the event with five largemouth bass totaling 11 pounds, four ounces. Second went to Henry Cavazos with four fish weighing 8 pounds, 12 ounces. Jim Lorts rounded out third place with three legal size bass dropping the scales at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. A largemouth weighing 3 pounds, 7 ounces gave Dean Caldwell the tourney’s “big bass” award.
KOKOMO RESERVOIR CHAMPIONSHIP
The weekly Kokomo Reservoir Monday evening tournament series came to a close last Saturday with the end-of-the-year championship. The tournament was open to a select group of anglers who amassed the most points during the regular season.
Adam Blankenberger and Ethan Miller swept the event, taking first place with five largemouth bass totaling 12.95 pounds. They also had “biggest bass” with a fish weighing 3.81 pounds. Doug Pence reeled in second with five fish totaling 11.47 pounds. Brad Parsons took third place with five fish weighing in at 10.33 pounds.
DELPHI-DELCO BASS TOURNEY
Fishing solo, Terry Roe swept last Tuesday’s Delphi-Delco bass tourney, held on Mississinewa Reservoir. He won the event with one fish tipping the scales at 3 pounds, 6 ounces, which also earned him “big bass” honors. Bob Rose and Wayne Nolder finished second with one fish weighing 3 pounds, 1 ounce. Third place went to Kyle Hobbs and Keith Milburn with one fish tipping the scales at 1 pound, 15 ounces. | https://www.kokomotribune.com/sports/martino-which-bluegills-are-better-to-keep/article_302b91f6-2cc3-11ee-9db7-e779e26dcad7.html | 2023-07-30T00:34:03 | 0 | https://www.kokomotribune.com/sports/martino-which-bluegills-are-better-to-keep/article_302b91f6-2cc3-11ee-9db7-e779e26dcad7.html |

BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — With the FedEx Cup 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 FedEx Cup 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.
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 FedEx Cup 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 FedEx Cup 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 FedEx Cup 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.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA told teams Friday that Damian Lillard and his agent confirmed that the All-Star guard would honor his contract in any potential trade, despite the agent saying Lillard only wanted to be dealt to the Miami Heat.
A memo sent to general managers and obtained by The Associated Press also warned that Lillard would be subject to discipline by the league if he or Aaron Goodwin make additional comments suggesting he won’t fully perform the requirements of his contract in the event of a trade.
Lillard told the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this month he wanted to be traded and Goodwin subsequently made clear his preference was Miami.
“Dame’s position won’t change,” Goodwin told AP on July 6. “This entire situation was about building an opportunity for Portland to win or giving him another opportunity that he wants, which is Miami.”
The league said it interviewed Lillard and Goodwin, along with several teams with whom Goodwin spoke. Goodwin denied telling teams that Lillard would refuse to play for them and the teams provided descriptions that were “mostly, though not entirely, consistent with Goodwin’s statements to us.”
Players are not allowed to publicly request trades. The league also stated in the memo that it told the Players Association that further comments such as Goodwin’s will be subject to discipline.

TORONTO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 39th home run for the Angels before leaving with leg cramps as the Toronto Blue Jays slugged three solo homers and rallied to beat Los Angeles 4-1 on Friday night.
Ohtani was replaced by pinch-hitter Michael Stefanic when his at-bat came up with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Ohtani was lifted because of cramping in both of his calves, Angels manager Phil Nevin said.
“We’ll evaluate it tomorrow when he gets up,” Nevin said. “It’s just cramping right now. It’s kind of in both legs. He’s done a lot of work the last two days and wasn’t able to go.”
A day earlier, Ohtani left the second game of a doubleheader at Detroit because of cramps. The two-way superstar threw a one-hitter in the opener Thursday for his first career MLB shutout, then homered twice in the second game.
Nevin said Ohtani’s soreness developed after he grounded out to begin the eighth.
“He came in and was trying to get some work done and just kept cramping up,” Nevin said.
Stefanic struck out looking at a 3-2 pitch from right-hander Jordan Romano as Toronto ended the Angels’ four-game winning streak.
After the game, an angry Nevin was seen holding up a tablet computer and yelling at plate umpire Mike Estabrook as the crew left the field.
“I just explained to him that I thought the pitch to Stefanic was outside,” Nevin said.
Matt Chapman, Danny Jansen and Whit Merrifield homered for the Blue Jays, who are 24-11 when they hit two or more home runs.
“Our team has been playing a good brand of baseball for a while now,” Chapman said. “I think maybe we’re just starting to find ways to come out on top of some of those close games.”
Chapman hit a two-out drive in the second, his 14th of the season. Jansen homered to lead off the third, his 14th. Both home runs came off right-hander Lucas Giolito, who made his first start for the Angels since being acquired from the White Sox earlier this week.
Giolito (6-7) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out five.
“I felt relatively sharp, throwing a lot of strikes, but they hammered my mistakes pretty good,” Giolito said.
Bo Bichette hit an RBI double off Giolito in the sixth and Merrifield made it 4-1 with a two-out homer off José Soriano in the seventh, his eighth. Merrifield finished 3 for 4 and has six home runs in his last 17 games. He hit a three-run homer in Thursday’s road win over the Dodgers.
The Blue Jays began the day in the third AL wild-card spot, three games ahead of the Angels. Los Angeles trails Boston and the New York Yankees in the postseason race.
After being greeted with a loud ovation from the sellout crowd of 42,106, Ohtani homered on the first pitch he faced, going deep in three straight at-bats over two games.
Ohtani’s 397-foot drive came off Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Ohtani homered in consecutive games for the ninth time this season.
Ohtani’s streak of homers ended when he struck out swinging on a 2-2 pitch from Gausman in the third. Ohtani singled in the sixth and grounded out against left-hander Tim Mayza in the eighth.
Gausman (8-5) allowed one run and five hits in six-plus innings to win for the first time since June 21 at Miami. Gausman walked three and struck out nine, increasing his AL-leading total to 171.
Erik Swanson relieved Gausman after the Angels loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh. Swanson struck out Trey Cabbage and pinch-hitter Eduardo Escobar, then retired Luis Rengifo on a fly ball.
“Not getting one across, that hurts,” Nevin said.
Mayza worked one inning and Romano got two outs in the ninth before Yimi García finished for his third save in six chances. Romano was pitching for the fifth time since leaving the July 11 All-Star game because of a sore back.
“He’s doing alright,” manager John Schneider said of Romano. “Just lower back discomfort, it kind of locked up on him a little bit. Just kind of wanted to play it safe there.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: Before the game, Nevin said Ohtani would get an extra day of rest before his next start, which was scheduled for next Thursday’s home game against Seattle. … SS Zach Neto (sore back) was scratched from the starting lineup and replaced by Andrew Velazquez. Rengifo took over in the leadoff spot.
Blue Jays: LHP Hyun Jin Ryu (Tommy John surgery) will start on Tuesday against Baltimore, Schneider said. With the Blue Jays beginning a stretch of 17 games in 17 days Friday, Schneider said Ryu will be part of a six-man rotation. … RHP Chad Green (Tommy John surgery) will make a rehab appearance with Class-A Dunedin Saturday, his third.
ANGRY WORDS
Cameras caught Chapman yelling at Schneider in the dugout after the top of the first.
“That’s just everybody being competitive, wanting to win baseball games,” Chapman said. “Just a heat-of-the-moment kind of thing. What was said and what it’s about, I’m just going to keep between us.”
NEW-LOOK LINEUP
Blue Jays OF George Springer, who came in stuck in an 0-for-16 slump, was dropped from the leadoff spot to fifth. Springer finished 0 for 4. Merrifield moved up to hit leadoff.
ROSTER MOVES
The Angels optioned RHP Gerardo Reyes to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room on the roster for Giolito.
UP NEXT
RHP Alek Manoah (2-8, 6.10 ERA) starts for the Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon. LHP Reid Detmers (2-7, 4.38) goes for the Angels.

TORONTO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 39th home run — for a streak of three homers in three at-bats over two games — before being sidelined due to cramping for a second consecutive game.
Ohtani was replaced by pinch-hitter Michael Stefanic when his at-bat came up with the bases loaded in the ninth inning due to leg cramps. The Blue Jays beat the Angels 4-1 Friday.
Los Angeles manager Phil Nevin said Ohtani was removed because of cramping in both of his calves.
“We’ll evaluate it tomorrow when he gets up,” Nevin said. “It’s just cramping right now. It’s kind of in both legs. He’s done a lot of work the last two days and wasn’t able to go.”
Ohtani homered twice in the second game of a doubleheader at Detroit on Thursday before leaving with cramps. He threw an eight-strikeout, one-hitter in the opener for his first career MLB shutout.
The two-way superstar became the first player to throw a shutout in one game of a doubleheader and hit one homer — much less two — in the other.
Thursday’s performance against the Tigers came hours after the team confirmed Ohtani will stay with the Angels for the rest of the season before he becomes a free agent.
Nevin said Ohtani’s soreness developed after he grounded out to begin the eighth inning.
“He came in and was trying to get some work done and just kept cramping up,” Nevin said.
Stefanic struck out looking at a 3-2 pitch from right-hander Jordan Romano as Toronto ended the Angels’ four-game winning streak.
On Friday, Ohtani homered on the first pitch he faced, going deep in three straight at-bats. His drive to right came off Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman and traveled 397 feet.
Ohtani streak of homers ended when he struck out swinging on a 2-2 pitch from Gausman in the third. He singled off Gausman in the sixth and grounded out to shortstop against left-hander Tim Mayza in the eighth, slowing up as he approached first base.

Max Scherzer is on his way out from the New York Mets, barring a massive reversal, less than 24 hours after he said he was reconsidering his future with the team.
The Mets have agreed on a trade with the Texas Rangers that will send the three-time Cy Young winner to the AL West, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The deal required Scherzer's approval due to his no-trade clause, which he will waive, according to SNY's Andy Martino, but there are still reportedly some financial hurdles for the teams to clear before the deal goes through, as well as the usual medical approvals.
Scherzer is in the second season of a three-year, $130 million contract he signed with the Mets after the 2021 season. That deal held a full no-trade clause, giving Scherzer final say on where he was headed if the Mets wanted to deal him. He also has an opt-out after this season, making this trade a potential two-month rental.
The Mets, currently 49-54 and 6.5 games back from a wild-card spot, signaled that they would be selling at the trade deadline when they sent closer David Robertson to the Miami Marlins on Thursday in exchange for a pair of prospects, infielder Marco Vargas and catcher Ronald Hernandez. That was the deal that incensed Scherzer enough for him to tell reporters that he wanted a conversation with the Mets' front office after Friday's game.
"I've got to have a conversation with the front office … about everything," Scherzer said. "That's the most I'm going to say. You have to talk to the brass. You have to understand what they see, what they're going to do. That's the best I can tell you.
"I told you I wasn't going to comment on this until [owner] Steve [Cohen decided] to sell. We traded Robertson. Now we need to have a conversation. I haven't had that conversation yet, and I will."
We now have a pretty good idea of how that conversation went.
With Robertson traded and Scherzer on the way out, the Mets have little reason to hold onto their other movable assets, most notably starting pitcher Justin Verlander. They will be a team to watch in the days remaining before the trade deadline Tuesday.
Rangers making aggressive move with Scherzer, but is it a wise one?
Rangers general manager Chris Young is not shy about his affection for proven, elite pitching. This deal would again slot Scherzer into an ambitious rotation that had planned to rely on Jacob deGrom.
The big question on the Rangers' side is whether Scherzer, the future Hall of Famer who turned 39 Thursday, is still the impact addition he was as recently as 2021. By top-level measures, he’s in the midst of his worst season since 2011, sporting a 103 ERA+ (which means he has been only 3% better than league average, based on park-adjusted metrics).
His strikeout rate has also ticked down, but the most worrisome sign is a ballooning vulnerability to home runs. Homers used to be one of the only ways to score on Scherzer, but this season, he has allowed a whopping 1.92 per nine innings, third-worst among qualified starters. Notably, the starter with the worst HR/9 — the veteran Lance Lynn — was also just traded.
In particular, Scherzer’s struggles and inconsistencies in the middle innings have raised eyebrows in the first year with the pitch timer. On a Mets team that has struggled to fill innings, Scherzer has nonetheless gone a better-than-average 5.7 innings per start. A deeper team might envision boosting his numbers simply by cutting his workload.
This marks Scherzer’s second high-stakes midseason move in three years. When the Washington Nationals tore down their World Series-winning core in 2019, Scherzer accepted a deal to the Dodgers and then proceeded to go 7-0 with a 1.98 ERA the rest of the season before struggling with fatigue at a decisive juncture in the postseason.
The Rangers would likely need to find a way to maximize Scherzer with restraint that has never before been necessary for the famously competitive hurler. But they are a team whose trade deadline could make a huge difference. They're just two games up on the Houston Astros for the AL West lead, which would guarantee the winner a bye into the ALDS. With deGrom out for the season due to injury and new ace Nathan Eovaldi carrying a heavy workload, more reliable pitching might be needed for the Rangers to hold off the Astros.
Rumors swirled around Scherzer and Verlander over the past week as the Mets’ chances at contention dwindled and GM Billy Eppler began selling, most notably sending closer David Robertson to the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
Scherzer appeared to bristle at the direction Friday in postgame comments, even with the Mets sitting well outside of a postseason spot.
As other potential sellers, such as the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres, have held off on moves, the Mets have decisively jumped into sell mode to capitalize on a thin market for pitching help. Outfielders Mark Canha and Tommy Pham are also candidates to join new teams. | https://www.star945.com/news/national/2023-mlb-trade/YSM7E5IDXMIMFCPBQ66VAYAFRY/ | 2023-07-30T00:35:53 | 0 | https://www.star945.com/news/national/2023-mlb-trade/YSM7E5IDXMIMFCPBQ66VAYAFRY/ |

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — This is one patient you approach very carefully.
An ailing 376-pound alligator that resides at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park paid a visit to veterinarians at the University of Florida.
The gator, named Brooke, had been exhibiting symptoms that included intermittent head-rolling in the lagoon where he lives, the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine wrote in a Facebook post.
The vets were never in any danger -- after all, the university mascot is an alligator -- but the reptile was strapped down securely as they worked on him.
Bridget Walker, the university’s zoological medicine resident, performed a blood draw to obtain a sample for analysis, the Facebook post stated.
“Brooke received standard radiographs along with a CT scan during his stay here,” officials said. “Our zoological medicine service team determined that Brooke had an ear infection. We hope he’ll be on his way to recovery soon!”
Brooke has resided at the zoo for nearly 20 years, WFTV reported. a popular resident at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm for nearly 20 years. He is named after the Brookfield Zoo in suburban Chicago, where he is from originally, WJAX-TV reported. | https://www.star945.com/news/trending/university-veterinarians-give-ct-scan-ailing-376-pound-alligator/T5S3BVC6PNDHHN2FCJB4TKDZCA/ | 2023-07-30T00:36:22 | 0 | https://www.star945.com/news/trending/university-veterinarians-give-ct-scan-ailing-376-pound-alligator/T5S3BVC6PNDHHN2FCJB4TKDZCA/ |

By Erin Kenney | NPR
If you walked past 1313 L St. in Washington, D.C., a few years ago, you would’ve seen a 1980s-style office building. The headquarters for the National Association for the Education of Young Children was red brick, with big windows and the organization’s logo plastered across the side.
But if you walk by the same spot this time next year, you could be looking at a newly finished apartment building with sleek gray siding and a rooftop patio.
The project is one example of a growing real estate trend — converting old, unused office space into apartments. These conversions seem like a win-win: turning a plethora of barely used office space into desperately needed urban housing.
But converting offices into apartments is easier said than done. And while it’s easy to imagine the process behind conversions, like adding in walls and plumbing, it gets complicated.
Out-of-the-way and older office buildings are targets for conversions to apartments
City centers are struggling to fill the gap left by commuters who now come into the office a few days a week, if at all. These workers were patrons of downtown businesses, from restaurants to dry cleaners. Without them, offices are desolate and businesses are shuttering.
To save these downtowns, cities are trying to turn unused office space into housing. San Francisco officials are making efforts to adjust current building codes and get rid of extra fees for office-to-residential projects. In Washington, D.C., the mayor wants to put more money into a tax relief program for office conversions.
Even cities like New York, where many companies have offices, vacancy is becoming a problem. Office vacancy in Manhattan was 15% in May, according to real estate investment firm CBRE.
“The commute has crushed a lot of people’s willingness to trudge into the office every day,” said Jason Alderman, the head of real estate giant Hines’ New York office. He said Hines’ buildings within a half-mile of the major transit hubs Grand Central and Penn Station have higher occupancy rates than others.
But, he added, “buildings that are catering to people — making it exciting to come back to the office or easy to come back to the office — are winning.”
As demand for other office buildings decreases, Hines is considering office-to-apartment conversion projects. Alderman said the company is actively bidding on properties.
Too many rules, not enough incentives
Converting an office building into a residential space can be difficult, and that’s when the building already has the right structure to work with. A lot of buildings don’t — they’re too wide, or have the wrong kind of windows, which makes conversion more expensive. But politics may be a greater factor in a project’s success.
Even as cities try to entice developers to turn office buildings into apartments, they’ve also put up obstacles. In New York, strict zoning rules already impact which buildings — and in some cases, how many floors — can be converted into housing. Rezoning a property for residential use can be timely and costly. Alderman said approval also requires support from politicians, who often add requirements for affordable housing a developer may be unable to afford.
Right now, many developers in New York are adjusting after the expiration of a state tax exemption for builders who include affordable housing in their projects. The exemption played a large role in multifamily housing construction in the city. According to a study from NYU’s Furman Center, 70% of multifamily properties built from 2010-2020 took advantage of the tax exemption.
Alderman said, while he hopes it is reinstated, “That would be both [the city and the state] cooperating together and waving a magic wand. And I’m not holding my breath that that’s going to happen anytime soon.”
In Washington, D.C., certain downtown projects are exempt from affordable housing requirements. One example is the 1313 L St. building, which is being converted by architecture firm Hickok Cole. Guilherme Almeida, the company’s director of high performance design, explained the city will exempt some areas from the rule to encourage development.
“The economics of these projects, they’re not slam dunks,” Almeida said. “They actually are pretty complex and expensive projects to execute, so [an affordable-housing requirement] would have disincentivized the creation of more housing downtown.”
Turning offices into homes would be better for the environment than starting from scratch
Building construction produces 11% of global carbon emissions, according to the World Green Building Council. It can take up to 80 years for a new, energy-efficient building to offset its own carbon emissions, according to a study by the National Historic Preservation Fund’s Preservation Green Lab. The fund’s former sustainability director, Patrice Frey, said reusing an existing building can reduce emissions dramatically.
“I don’t think we can think of our resources as so expendable that we can just continue to build and abandon or build and demolish,” Frey said. “We’ve really got to think more sustainably about using what we’ve got.”
She said one reason behind the commercial real estate and housing crises is that over the last few decades, developers built with one use in mind, whether it be office space or residential. She’s hopeful that in time, the industry will shift to designing buildings that are more adaptable to changing needs.
“That mentality, that thinking about flexible, adaptable space has to be integrated into everything we construct into the future,” Frey said. “Because we’ve got to be designing for centuries, not for decades.”

The U.S. State Department has selected an Indigenous artist to represent the country at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
Jeffrey Gibson, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, will be the first such artist to have a solo exhibition in the U.S. Pavilion at the prestigious international arts event.
That's according to a statement this week from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the government body responsible for co-curating the U.S. Pavilion, alongside Oregon's Portland Art Museum and SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico.
The State Department's records of the U.S. Pavilion exhibitions date back to when it was built, in 1930.
Although Indigenous artists have shown work more broadly in Venice over the years, the last time Indigenous artists appeared in the U.S. Pavilion at the Biennale was in 1932 — and that was in a group setting, as part of a mostly Eurocentric exhibition devoted to depictions of the American West.
"In 1932, one of the rooms was devoted to Native American art, but it was done in what I would say was a very ethnographic type of presentation," said Kathleen Ash-Milby, curator of Native American Art at the Portland Art Museum, and one of the co-commissioners of Jeffrey Gibson's work in the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. "It grouped native people together and didn't really focus on their individuality as much. There were Navajo rugs on the floor. There were displays of jewelry. Many of the artists were not named."
Ash-Milby, who is also the first Native American curator to co-commission and co-curate an exhibition for the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, told NPR her team selected Gibson because of the artist's wide-ranging, inclusive and critical approach to art-making.
"His work is multifaceted. It incorporates all sorts of different types of media," the curator, a member of the Navajo Nation, said. "But to me, what's most important is his ability to connect with both his culture and different communities, and bring people together. At the same time, he has a very critical lens through which he looks at our history as Americans and as world citizens. Pulling all those things together in the practice of an American artist is really important for someone who's going to represent us on a world stage."
Born in Colorado and based in New York, Gibson, 51, focuses on making work that fuses together American, Native American and queer perspectives. In a 2019 interview with Here and Now, Gibson said the art world hasn't traditionally valued Indigenous histories and artistic representations.
"There's this gap historically about these histories existing on the same level and being valued culturally," Gibson said. "My goal is to force them into the contemporary cannon of what's considered important."
A MacArthur "Genius" Grant winner, Gibson has had his work widely exhibited around the country. Major solo exhibitions include one at the Portland Art Museum last year and, in 2013, at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. His work is in the collections of high-profile institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art. Gibson participated in the 2019 Whitney Biennial.
"Having an Indigenous artist represent the United States at the Venice Biennale is a long overdue and very powerful moment," San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Director Christopher Bedford said in an email to NPR. "Centering the perspectives of contemporary indigenous artists is a critical component of fostering inclusivity and equity in museums, and in our world."
The details of Gibson's contribution for the 2024 Biennale are mostly under wraps. Curator Ash-Milby said the artist is working on a multimedia installation with the title "the space in which to place me" — a reference to a poem by the Lakota poet Layli Long Soldier.
According to the organizers of the U.S. Pavilion, the upcoming Biennale will enable international audiences to have the first major opportunity to experience Gibson's work outside of the U.S. It will be on view April 20 through Nov. 24, 2024.

With much fanfare, the City of Norman renamed DeBarr Avenue in 2017. Nearly 35 years earlier, OU removed Edwin DeBarr’s name from the chemistry building.
But it was 100 years ago this summer when the longtime OU professor was summarily fired from his tenured position for defying the university Regents order to cease his political activity, primarily his Ku Klux Klan membership and leadership, according to newspaper accounts at the time.
DeBarr was part of the university’s original faculty in 1892 and the longest serving when fired on June 5, 1923.
He had openly defied the Regents directive and publicly supported fellow Klansman Bob Wilson for governor.
• • •
Gov. Jack Walton, who campaigned on an anti-Klan ticket, removed five University regents and reappointed new ones. The university, he said, needed new blood.
What they didn’t need was DeBarr. A year earlier, according to OU historian Dr. David Levy’s book, “The University of Oklahoma: A History, Volume II,” Regents voted to condemn “Daddy DeBarr” for his political and Klan activity.
His resume at OU was lengthy: Head of the Chemistry Department, founder of the College of Engineering, director of the School of Chemical Engineering, first dean of Pharmacy and started the first herbarium in 1893.
• • •
In the Klan, DeBarr was Grand Dragon of Oklahoma until 1923.
He was later promoted to the organization’s national board. A year later he was named the Klan’s national chaplain.
According to Levy, DeBarr taught chemistry, physics, pharmacy, biology, mathematics and engineering.
He played the organ and led the singing when the university had daily chapel. He was acting president when the president was away from campus.
In the community, he served as the city’s health officer, inspecting dairies and other such entities.
He was an honored Mason, Elk, Odd Fellow and a bank director.
When he was 91, DeBarr’s granddaughter’s husband, Robert Rose, beat him with a tire iron and stole his car. DeBarr died two months later of a heart attack while recuperating at OU’s infirmary at Ellison Hall.

Zenek Luci was born deaf to a family in Welland, Ontario. He used hearing aids as an infant before receiving a cochlear implant in an operation, his father, Gabriel, says.
"He was about one year old when it was turned on," Gabriel says. "When it's first turned on, they do a mapping, so they they start really low and see where they're responding to the sound."
Invented in 1957, cochlear implants are worn by more than two hundred thousand Americans, according to the American Cochlear Implant Alliance, an industry trade group.
Viral videos of patients receiving cochlear implants and hearing for the first time pack an emotional punch. It's a technology that's transforming lives—and one that's long stirred debate within the Deaf community. Dr. Samantha Kesteloot, an audiologist, educates families about implants and wears one herself.
"There's an internal part and external part," she explains. "The internal part is surgical, and there's an electrode array that is inserted into the cochlea, which is the organ of hearing."
"The outside part is a processor, which sort of looks like a hearing aid," she says. "That picks up the acoustical sound and converts it to electrical stimulus, and then those signals are sent down the electrode array and electrically stimulate the auditory nerve." That's the nerve that sends signals to the brain that correspond to the sensation of hearing.
Many adults with hearing loss say the implants have dramatically improved their lives.
Lou Ferrigno, the actor who once portrayed the Incredible Hulk, recently told students who were deaf or hard of hearing, and how implants have helped him. They "changed my life tremendously," he said. "There's so much hope that people can have better hearing, better lifestyle."
Dr. Keseloot, meanwhile, received her implant in 2017.
"It's completely changed my life," she says. "I always was a pretty high achiever with hearing aids, but I was always just kind of missing out on a lot of social things." Dr. Kestellot says she would "just sort of smile and nod and pretend I understood." Now, she says, "I can keep up in noisy situations."

Roughly one in five Americans has some form of hearing loss, according to the National Institutes of Health. And there is a thriving Deaf community in the U.S. that communicates with sign language. So adults who are eligible for implants have the choice of whether they want to receive them.
There's considerable debate, however, around their use with kids.
The FDA has approved the technology for children as young as nine months.
Without Zenek's implant, using just the hearing aid, "Everything he said was gibberish," says Gabriel Luci. "So that told us, okay, he's not getting enough with the aid."
"If a family desires listening in spoken language outcomes, the natural goal for the child is to speak and listen," says Dr. Kesteloot. "The best route is to aid and then implant if the hearing aids not doing enough. And then if the child chooses to sign later or, you know, and refuses the implant later, that's a choice that they can make."
Some parents of deaf children decline the procedure, says Dr. Kesteloot, including parents who are deaf themselves. "A lot of culturally deaf parents choose not to implant their children because they don't really have a need for it. Their life is based around sign language," she says. "And then also, some parents believe that the child should make the decision when they get old enough to make the decision. And that's, you know, a little tricky because there is a critical period for language development."
Dorian Smith Garcia wrote recently that videos celebrating cochlear implants "play into audism," which implies that people with hearing loss need to be "cured or corrected."
Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin, who is Deaf, says she isn't opposed to cochlear implants. But she told the World Science Festival in 2019 that Deaf culture built on sign language offers immense rewards for children.
"There is still a great deal of pressure that people should explore the option of cochlear implants because that's better than signing, that you shouldn't sign," she told the audience. "I would say to these people, who are you to decide for us?"
Gabriel Luci, who has a second child with implants named Sasha, says the decision should be up to every parent of a Deaf child.
"I do believe that getting my kids cochlear implants gives them more opportunities, though. I'm not taking away any opportunities from them; I'm only giving them opportunities," he says.

It's the beverage backlash rocking the bluegrass state.
"If you're going to make bourbon, you really need to be in Kentucky, and we want you in Kentucky to do that," said Jack Mazurak said.
Mazurak is the director of governmental and regulatory affairs for the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
The point of contention? The end of a barrel tax.
In March, Governor Andy Beshear signed off on a bill outlining the phasing out of the property tax placed on aging barrels of bourbon in the state.
The phase-out, which will begin in 2026, will see that tax reduced by a few percentage points each year, leading to its full elimination by 2043—a move being applauded by the state's roughly $9 billion bourbon industry.
"From an economic development perspective. When you look at a barrel tax, that's a punishment for growth. That's a punishment for success," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the annual barrel tax was problematic as the demand for bourbon has been growing, leading distillers to produce and store more aging barrels of bourbon and therefore pay more in taxes.
"Last year, we had 12 million barrels aging in the state and paid $40 million in barrel taxes. So, you know, it went from 9.5 million in 2009, 2014 when things really started taking off, it was about $14 million in barrel taxes we paid. But I mean, just the increments that it was jumping each year was incredible. And it's a growing pain," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the barrel tax only served as a deterrent for new distillers looking to set up shop in the state.
"If you're a startup, if you want to come to Kentucky and start up a small distillery, that's a major disincentive," Mazurak said. "So, you could go to Tennessee; you could go to Ohio, Indiana. You could go anywhere, right? And start up your distillery and not face these costs."
But while distillers are static about the tax break, counties that are home to distillers are now bracing for a financial hit in the coming years. In a state that's estimated to produce95% of the world's bourbon, that's big money.

"They feel like they haven't been listened to, like they've been thrown under the bus, like they've been abandoned, like they haven't been supported, like they've been very supportive of this industry. I'm not so sure they're going to be in the future," Pam Thomas said.
Pam Thomas is a senior fellow at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy.
She says, like anywhere else, property taxes are used to fund local services. In the case of the funds collected from the barrel tax, that money has historically been used to fund schools, emergency services like fire and police, roads, and more in Kentucky.
"The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax," Thomas said. "The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax."
Thomas says overall, many counties are struggling with the bourbon industry's claims that the barrel tax has been a burden on business.
"It's pretty clear, given the growth of the industry, and you can go and look at the press releases from the governor's office, that they're in a boom, that they're in a huge boom, that the boom is already expected to last more than five years. So, the argument that it's making us not competitive, it just really doesn't hold water," Thomas said.
She adds that dropping the tax might end up disconnecting the industry from the communities where it operates as well.
"I just don't think they're going to get the local support that they got before because they do feel like they've been duped. And, you know, I would say that they have," Thomas said.
Thomas says the distillers knew what they were getting into when they opened their doors in Kentucky.
"Every single distillery that's come into Kentucky, and there's like 90 of them now; just a few years ago, there were only 14 or 15. They did a cost-benefit analysis that included the barrel tax, and they decided to come here anyway," Thomas said.
But for Mazurak, there are more important things.
"Bourbon is wonderful to have, the enthusiasm and the tourism, and the demand. But at the end of the day, it's not a grocery item; you know, nobody has to have it. It's not a good tax policy to balance your county budget or to really have it tied in with schools because your kids' education and my kids' education is more important than that," Mazurak said.
Making the bourbon battle a topic of discussion at Kentucky watering holes for years to come.

Weeks after catastrophic storms dumped two months of rain in two days over Vermont, causing floods around the state, people continue a long road to recovery.
The reality that rebuilding Vermont will take months as opposed to weeks is sinking in.
More than two weeks ago, Amber Poploski hoped her home would fare better in the torrential rains.
Downpours and flooding made roads in her town of Ripton, Vermont, impassable. She says a firefighter caught her attention, and then...
"I heard a noise, and then I shined my flashlight up. I see the tree coming up. I thought there’s no way I am going to make it out of this," said Poploski.
The Poploskis' home, which was sitting on a hillside, went tumbling down in amudslide as the soil soaked from record rains.
"I ran down the hill, and then I had to wiggle out of whatever I was stuck under," said Poploski.
Miraculously, Poploski escaped serious injury. Her family and three dogs avoided danger too. She’s now nursing an ankle sprain, but she and her husband are dealing with the pain of losing just about everything.
"Every program they’re offering, you have to qualify for FEMA, but we don’t; they offered SBAA loans, but you need to be covered under FEMA," said Poploski.
Even though the Poploskis' home is a total write-off loss and the land is badly damaged, it’s in a county that has a disaster declaration. Their state senator says she’s trying to raise the issue and get them more help.

"Because FEMA determines everything on a county-by-county basis, even people in our county who have had major disasters happen to them have not yet been able to access the FEMA assistance," said State Senator Ruth Hardy.
The lawmaker added that when the state legislatures go back into session, it’s something they will have to examine.
Vermont's Emergency Management agency says more than 4,000 homes were damaged earlier in July, after two months of rain fell in two days, swelling rivers and causing mass floods.
Many in Vermont’s capital, Montpelier, see a long road to recovery ahead.
"I think more people are coming into it, realizing with the time and the silt and category 3 contaminated waste, you gotta properly remove it," said business owner George Estes.
Many don masks in the downtown business district. It’s to guard against the dust from the dried-out silt and black mold festering in flood-damaged dry walls.
Woodbury Mountain Toys is an independent business that is now having to start from scratch. It's selling gift certificates to keep things running.
"We’ve got a lot of support. Working really hard, trying to get it done, we’re hoping for a good holiday season. It would be lovely if we could get open by October, when foliage is at its peak," said Karen Williams, owner of Woodbury Mountain Toys.
Vermont’s fall foliage draws plenty of tourists; businesses hope to recover by then, so people spend too. The Poploskis are hoping they can find solutions to rebuild their dream home.
"We went from having this almost paid off in four years to having to start all over," said Poploski.
The couple Scripps News spoke with is hoping a disaster declaration can include their county so they can get help faster.
In Montpelier, people have been left wondering if a new normal with climate change means they should rebuild their homes and businesses higher.

(BCN) — Santa Clara County’s largest public sector union says it has reached a tentative agreement with county officials on a new contract which includes the biggest wage increase for its workers in over 20 years, averting a planned strike.
The Service Employees International Union Local 521, representing more than 12,000 public-sector workers in Santa Clara County, said in statement Friday that it has struck a deal to potentially secure a 13 percent wage increase for workers over three years as well as a one-time lump sum payment of $1,200 per worker.
The tentative agreement averts a strike, which was authorized by SEIU Local 521 members in mid-June.
The deal also promises to include equity raises and additional wage gains for positions whose wages lag behind market rates, like public health nurses, to make these positions more attractive and help address staffing shortages. Union members are expected to ratify the new agreement in the next two weeks, followed by a formal ratification vote by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
“Our union stood firm in demanding a fair contract, new gains, and protections for our members and families in Santa Clara County,” SEIU Local 521 Chief Elected Officer Riko Mendez said in a statement.
“We still have work to do to grow our way out of the short staffing and turnover exacerbated by the pandemic, but because of the resiliency and commitment of frontline county workers, we secured one of the best deals in the history of Santa Clara County,” Mendez added.
SEIU Local 521 represents more than 12,000 Santa Clara public-sector workers, including 911 dispatchers, social workers, county hospital staff, parks and roads personnel, among others.

Jordan Love has best practice of camp, Van Ness gets first team reps
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - At the end of Day 4 of Packers training camp, it was the defense watching the offense doing up-downs. That was the punishment for the losers of the two-minute drill. The defense won in large part because of the second and third teams.
Jordan Love had his best day yet of camp.
It was highlighted by a third-down, 33-yard pass along the sideline to Samouri Toure.
Love went 6-11 on team drills, finding his grove on Saturday in front of a packed house.
Matt LaFleur said they’re still trying to learn the strengths of their new QB1, but how has Love grown in his decisiveness?
“Exponential,” the head coach said. “It’s hard to put a real value on that. He’s going to continue to learn and grow. That’s what so exciting. You’ve seen the jumps that he’s made, but ultimately you got to go out and do it on Sunday. It’s not just him, I keep hitting that point. It’s got to be everybody. Show me a good quarterback, I’ll probably show you some good weapons around him.”
On the other side of the ball, rookie Lukas Van Ness got first team reps for the first time in team drills across from Preston Smith.
A highlight for him Saturday was pushing Josiah Deguara back several yards into the backfield near Love.
“Whether it’s a first team rep, second team rep or a third team rep, we harp on it every play. Always gracious but it’s another opportunity to go out there and compete,” Van Ness said.
The rookie is now just looking forward to when the pads come on Monday.
“When the pads come on, that’s real football. I’m excited to get out there, give a little pop in my play, play with a little more violence, be able to get off the ball and show my true style of play,” Van Ness said.
“He’s been doing a lot of great things lately, and the coaching staff have been moving him up to see how he does against the ones,” Smith said about his new teammate. “I’m impressed with him, his presence from the time he walked in to now. He’s always willing to work and whatever you tell him. He’s a real coachable kid. I really like him as a player and a person.”

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — West Sacramento police arrested a man after receiving multiple calls about cars being vandalized Thursday.
The calls came in from the areas around Garden Park. Jefferson and Locks, according to officials. Multiple cars had their windows and windshields smashed in.
"My car got hit, along with a bunch of other cars and where I was parked, nothing was taken, but still felt violated, that it could happen," said Jessica Holum, a Garden Park resident of six years. "I don't feel safe that other people are coming in or other people in our community to hurt each other's property."
Police say four cars and a business had their windows broken, but it is unclear if anything was stolen.
Once officers got to the area, they found a man matching the description given by callers in the area of Jefferson and Locks. He was arrested without incident shortly after.
The suspect was arrested and transported to Yolo County Jail. Officials believe he was intoxicated. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/cars-west-sacramento-vandalized/103-7421f208-5794-467f-96fd-730b7b460944 | 2023-07-30T00:41:55 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/cars-west-sacramento-vandalized/103-7421f208-5794-467f-96fd-730b7b460944 |

Compared with the devil, angels carry more credence in America.
Angels even get more credence than, well, hell. More than astrology, reincarnation, and the belief that physical things can have spiritual energies.
In fact, about 7 in 10 U.S. adults say they believe in angels, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
“People are yearning for something greater than themselves — beyond their own understanding,” said Jack Grogger, a chaplain for the Los Angeles Angels and a longtime Southern California fire captain who has aided many people in their gravest moments.
That search for something bigger, he said, can take on many forms, from following a religion to crafting a self-driven purpose to believing in, of course, angels.
“For a lot of people, angels are a lot safer to worship,” said Grogger, who also pastors a nondenominational church in Orange, California, and is a chaplain for the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.
People turn to angels for comfort, he said. They are familiar, regularly showing up in pop culture as well as in the Bible. Comparably, worshipping Jesus is far more involved; when Grogger preaches about angels it is with the context that they are part of God's kingdom.
American's belief in angels (69%) is about on par with belief in heaven and the power of prayer, but bested by belief in God or a higher power (79%). Fewer U.S. adults believe in the devil or Satan (56%), astrology (34%), reincarnation (34%), and that physical things can have spiritual energies, such as plants, rivers or crystals (42%).
The widespread acceptance of angels shown in the AP-NORC poll makes sense to Susan Garrett, an angel expert and New Testament professor at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Kentucky. It tracks with historical surveys, she said, adding that the U.S. remains a faith-filled country even as more Americans reject organized religion.
But if the devil is in the details, so are people’s understandings of angels.
“They’re very malleable,” Garrett said of angels. “You can have any one of a number of quite different worldviews in terms of your understanding of how the cosmos is arranged, whether there’s spirit beings, whether there’s life after death, whether there’s a God … and still find a place for angels in that worldview.”
Talk of angels, Garrett said, is often also about something else, like the ways God interacts with the world and other hard-to-articulate ideas.
The large number of U.S. adults who say they believe in angels includes 84% of those with a religious affiliation — 94% of evangelical Protestants, 81% of mainline Protestants and 82% of Catholics — and 33% of those without one. And of those angel-believing religiously unaffiliated, that includes 2% of atheists, 25% of agnostics and 50% of those identified as “nothing in particular.”
The broad acceptance is what fascinates San Francisco-based witch and author Devin Hunter: Angels show up independently in different religions and traditions, making them part of the fabric that unites humanity.
“We’re all getting to the same conclusion,” said Hunter, who spent 16 years as a professional medium, and started communicating as a child with what he believed were angels.
Hunter estimates that a belief in angels applies to about half of those practicing modern witchcraft today, and for some who don't believe, their rejection is often rooted in the religious trauma they experienced growing up.
“Angels become a very big deal" for long-time practitioners who've made occultism their primary focus, said Hunter, an angel-loving occultist. “We cannot escape them in any way, shape or form.”
Jennifer Goodwin of Oviedo, Florida, also is among the roughly seven in 10 U.S. adults who say they believe in angels. She isn’t sure if God exists and rejects the afterlife dichotomy of heaven and hell, but the recent deaths of her parents solidified her views on these celestial beings.
Goodwin believes her parents are still keeping an eye on the family — not in any physical way or as a supernatural apparition, but that they manifest in those moments when she feels a general sense of comfort.
“I think that they are around us, but it’s in a way that we can’t understand,” Goodwin said. “I don’t know what else to call it except an angel.”
Angels mean different things to different people, and the idea of loved ones becoming heavenly angels after death is neither an unusual belief nor a universally held one.
In his reading of Scripture as an evangelical Protestant, Grogger said he believes angels are something else entirely — they have never been human and are on another level in heaven's hierarchy. “We are higher than angels,” he said. “We do not become an angel.”
Angels do interact with humans though, said Grogger, but what "that looks like we’re not 100% sure.” They worship God who created this angelic legion of unknown numbers, he said, adding that evangelicals often attribute the demonic forces in the world to the angels who fell from heaven when the devil rebelled.
The Western ideas about angels can be traced through the Bible — and to the worldviews of its monotheistic authors, Garrett said. Those beliefs have changed and developed for millennia, influenced by cultures, theologians and even the ancient polytheistic beliefs that came before the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, she said.
“There are sort of lines of continuity from the Bible that you can trace all the way up to the New Age movement,” said Susan Garrett, who wrote “No Ordinary Angel: Celestial Spirits and Christian Claims about Jesus.”
The angels in the Bible do God's bidding, and angelic violence is one part of their job description, said Esther Hamori, author of the upcoming book, “God's Monsters: Vengeful Spirits, Deadly Angels, Hybrid Creatures, and Divine Hitmen of the Bible.”
“The angels of the Bible are just as likely to assassinate individuals and slaughter entire populations as they are to offer help and protect and deliver,” said Hamori. She doesn't believe in these angels, but studies them as a Hebrew Bible professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York where she teaches a popular “Monster Heaven” class.
“They’re just God’s obedient soldiers doing the task at hand, and sometimes that task is in human beings' best interests, and sometimes it’s not," she said.
The perception that angels act angelic and look like the idyllic, winged figurines atop Christmas trees could be attributed to an early centuries belief that people are assigned one good angel and one bad — or have a good and bad spirit to guide them, Garrett said.
This idea shows up on the shoulders of cartoon characters and is likely what Abraham Lincoln was alluding to in his famous appeal for unity when he referenced “the better angels of our nature” in his first inaugural address, she said.
“It’s also tied in with ideas about guardian angels, which again, very ancient views that got developed over the centuries,” Garrett said.
For Sheila Avery of Chicago, angels are protectors, capable of keeping someone from harm. Avery, who belongs to a nondenominational church, credits them with those moments like when a person’s plans fall through, but ultimately it saves them from being in the thick of an unexpected disaster.
“They turn on the news and a terrible tragedy happened at that particular place,” Avery said, suggesting it was an “angel that was probably watching over them.”

SEATTLE — Five people were injured in a shooting outside of a Rainier Beach Safeway on Friday night.
The shooting was reported just before 8 p.m. at the grocery store located at 9200 Rainier Avenue South.
All five were attending a community outreach event when "dozens and dozens of rounds" were fired, according to Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz. The victims ranged in age from their mid 20s to 30s.
According to Harborview Medical Center Public Information Officer Susan Gregg, four people were taken to the hospital for care. As of Saturday morning, a 25-year-old man and 24-year-old were in satisfactory condition. The man had arrived at the hospital critically injured.
A 34-year-old man was treated and discharged, and a 28-year-old man is expected to be released from the hospital sometime Saturday morning, according to Gregg.
A fifth person was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Diaz said the shooting happened during an event that's part of the Seattle Community Safety Initiative and has been held in this parking lot every Friday night for nearly two years. Its purpose is to provide community members with a safe space as a deterrent to violence.
"They give out supplies, they give out free food, they play music," said Urban Family Executive Director Shantel Patu. "It keeps a festive and peaceful and safe environment and somebody just opened fire on the event."
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell was at the scene and said, "Too many guns are in the wrong places and in the wrong hands."
Police say they are searching for two suspects, but they do not have a description of them or the vehicle they were in.
Police said they do not yet know what led to the shooting Friday night. The incident is being investigated by SPD's Gun Violence Reduction Unit.

SALEM, Ore. — On Friday afternoon, in a small park in Salem, friends and advocates gathered together to remember Russell Mikolas, 64, a homeless man who was severely beaten in late June. He died in the hospital on July 17.
According to those who knew him, Mikolas had been living on the streets, on and off, for about 20 years. He could often be seen collecting cans, and depositing them at the BottleDrop. Friends told KGW he was a kind and gentle soul — someone who went out of his way to help others in need.
"He was liked by all of us," said Montana, a longtime friend. "All of us out here on the streets and especially in this neighborhood. Everybody knew him well, and we all liked him. He was a friendly guy."
"Just a super guy. He had a good smile. He liked to joke," said William Manley. "He didn't deserve it. Nobody does. Not like that... not like that at all."
Around 4:30 in the afternoon on June 29, witnesses reported a teenager, physically punching and kicking a person walking down the street, to Salem Police.
Officers confirmed Mikolas was the victim of this brutal assault, and was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He died a little more than two weeks later.
The Marion County Juvenile Director told KGW the 17-year-old suspect faces a second-degree murder charge, and remains in custody. Officials confirmed the teen could be tried as an adult.
"It was senseless. There is no reason for it to happen," Montana said.
"It saddens me," said John Marshall, pastor of Church at the Park. "The work is still there to do. To love well, and to demonstrate that human life matters."
"Humans are not disposable. And one day, hopefully, that day will come where we stop throwing people away."
Jolene Garland, a friend and an advocate, gave a eulogy for the man who spent decades living outside. She helped him manage his Direct Express card, and his savings.
"He was so gentle, but also so broken," she said. "He would call me sometimes to meet him and he would say can you bring me some 20s and 50s? And then we would drive around and he would just hand out money to people that needed it, because those people helped him." | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/crime/memorial-service-elderly-man-beaten-to-death-salem/283-aeef106a-56ff-44a3-add6-58c8b685a39a | 2023-07-30T00:42:24 | 0 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/crime/memorial-service-elderly-man-beaten-to-death-salem/283-aeef106a-56ff-44a3-add6-58c8b685a39a |
Zenek Luci was born deaf to a family in Welland, Ontario. He used hearing aids as an infant before receiving a cochlear implant in an operation, his father, Gabriel, says.
"He was about one year old when it was turned on," Gabriel says. "When it's first turned on, they do a mapping, so they they start really low and see where they're responding to the sound."
Invented in 1957, cochlear implants are worn by more than two hundred thousand Americans, according to the American Cochlear Implant Alliance, an industry trade group.
Viral videos of patients receiving cochlear implants and hearing for the first time pack an emotional punch. It's a technology that's transforming lives—and one that's long stirred debate within the Deaf community. Dr. Samantha Kesteloot, an audiologist, educates families about implants and wears one herself.
"There's an internal part and external part," she explains. "The internal part is surgical, and there's an electrode array that is inserted into the cochlea, which is the organ of hearing."
"The outside part is a processor, which sort of looks like a hearing aid," she says. "That picks up the acoustical sound and converts it to electrical stimulus, and then those signals are sent down the electrode array and electrically stimulate the auditory nerve." That's the nerve that sends signals to the brain that correspond to the sensation of hearing.
Many adults with hearing loss say the implants have dramatically improved their lives.
Lou Ferrigno, the actor who once portrayed the Incredible Hulk, recently told students who were deaf or hard of hearing, and how implants have helped him. They "changed my life tremendously," he said. "There's so much hope that people can have better hearing, better lifestyle."
Dr. Keseloot, meanwhile, received her implant in 2017.
"It's completely changed my life," she says. "I always was a pretty high achiever with hearing aids, but I was always just kind of missing out on a lot of social things." Dr. Kestellot says she would "just sort of smile and nod and pretend I understood." Now, she says, "I can keep up in noisy situations."

Roughly one in five Americans has some form of hearing loss, according to the National Institutes of Health. And there is a thriving Deaf community in the U.S. that communicates with sign language. So adults who are eligible for implants have the choice of whether they want to receive them.
There's considerable debate, however, around their use with kids.
The FDA has approved the technology for children as young as nine months.
Without Zenek's implant, using just the hearing aid, "Everything he said was gibberish," says Gabriel Luci. "So that told us, okay, he's not getting enough with the aid."
"If a family desires listening in spoken language outcomes, the natural goal for the child is to speak and listen," says Dr. Kesteloot. "The best route is to aid and then implant if the hearing aids not doing enough. And then if the child chooses to sign later or, you know, and refuses the implant later, that's a choice that they can make."
Some parents of deaf children decline the procedure, says Dr. Kesteloot, including parents who are deaf themselves. "A lot of culturally deaf parents choose not to implant their children because they don't really have a need for it. Their life is based around sign language," she says. "And then also, some parents believe that the child should make the decision when they get old enough to make the decision. And that's, you know, a little tricky because there is a critical period for language development."
Dorian Smith Garcia wrote recently that videos celebrating cochlear implants "play into audism," which implies that people with hearing loss need to be "cured or corrected."
Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin, who is Deaf, says she isn't opposed to cochlear implants. But she told the World Science Festival in 2019 that Deaf culture built on sign language offers immense rewards for children.
"There is still a great deal of pressure that people should explore the option of cochlear implants because that's better than signing, that you shouldn't sign," she told the audience. "I would say to these people, who are you to decide for us?"
Gabriel Luci, who has a second child with implants named Sasha, says the decision should be up to every parent of a Deaf child.
"I do believe that getting my kids cochlear implants gives them more opportunities, though. I'm not taking away any opportunities from them; I'm only giving them opportunities," he says.

BANGOR -- A recently-closed Bangor movie theater has reopened under new ownership.
The long-time theater formally known as Movie Rocket welcomed back customers Saturday.
The new owners say the establishment will now be called Hollywood Cinemas, and that they have made improvements since the theater's sudden closure earlier this month.
"We actually worked on our digital signage. We got that up and going, the digital signage has been fixed," said Christopher Perkins, general manager at Hollywood Cinemas. "There were some repairs we needed to do. We're just slowly working at it and making sure that everyone's experience is much better."
The new owners say they will continue to make improvements to the theater.

It's the beverage backlash rocking the bluegrass state.
"If you're going to make bourbon, you really need to be in Kentucky, and we want you in Kentucky to do that," said Jack Mazurak said.
Mazurak is the director of governmental and regulatory affairs for the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
The point of contention? The end of a barrel tax.
In March, Governor Andy Beshear signed off on a bill outlining the phasing out of the property tax placed on aging barrels of bourbon in the state.
The phase-out, which will begin in 2026, will see that tax reduced by a few percentage points each year, leading to its full elimination by 2043—a move being applauded by the state's roughly $9 billion bourbon industry.
"From an economic development perspective. When you look at a barrel tax, that's a punishment for growth. That's a punishment for success," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the annual barrel tax was problematic as the demand for bourbon has been growing, leading distillers to produce and store more aging barrels of bourbon and therefore pay more in taxes.
"Last year, we had 12 million barrels aging in the state and paid $40 million in barrel taxes. So, you know, it went from 9.5 million in 2009, 2014 when things really started taking off, it was about $14 million in barrel taxes we paid. But I mean, just the increments that it was jumping each year was incredible. And it's a growing pain," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the barrel tax only served as a deterrent for new distillers looking to set up shop in the state.
"If you're a startup, if you want to come to Kentucky and start up a small distillery, that's a major disincentive," Mazurak said. "So, you could go to Tennessee; you could go to Ohio, Indiana. You could go anywhere, right? And start up your distillery and not face these costs."
But while distillers are static about the tax break, counties that are home to distillers are now bracing for a financial hit in the coming years. In a state that's estimated to produce95% of the world's bourbon, that's big money.

"They feel like they haven't been listened to, like they've been thrown under the bus, like they've been abandoned, like they haven't been supported, like they've been very supportive of this industry. I'm not so sure they're going to be in the future," Pam Thomas said.
Pam Thomas is a senior fellow at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy.
She says, like anywhere else, property taxes are used to fund local services. In the case of the funds collected from the barrel tax, that money has historically been used to fund schools, emergency services like fire and police, roads, and more in Kentucky.
"The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax," Thomas said. "The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax."
Thomas says overall, many counties are struggling with the bourbon industry's claims that the barrel tax has been a burden on business.
"It's pretty clear, given the growth of the industry, and you can go and look at the press releases from the governor's office, that they're in a boom, that they're in a huge boom, that the boom is already expected to last more than five years. So, the argument that it's making us not competitive, it just really doesn't hold water," Thomas said.
She adds that dropping the tax might end up disconnecting the industry from the communities where it operates as well.
"I just don't think they're going to get the local support that they got before because they do feel like they've been duped. And, you know, I would say that they have," Thomas said.
Thomas says the distillers knew what they were getting into when they opened their doors in Kentucky.
"Every single distillery that's come into Kentucky, and there's like 90 of them now; just a few years ago, there were only 14 or 15. They did a cost-benefit analysis that included the barrel tax, and they decided to come here anyway," Thomas said.
But for Mazurak, there are more important things.
"Bourbon is wonderful to have, the enthusiasm and the tourism, and the demand. But at the end of the day, it's not a grocery item; you know, nobody has to have it. It's not a good tax policy to balance your county budget or to really have it tied in with schools because your kids' education and my kids' education is more important than that," Mazurak said.
Making the bourbon battle a topic of discussion at Kentucky watering holes for years to come.

BELFAST -- The Wentworth Event Center in Belfast burned to the ground early Saturday morning.
According to the Belfast Fire Department, crews were called to respond to a structure fire at the center just before midnight on Friday.
Upon arrival, firefighters say the fire was fully-involved with heavy smoke conditions.
"An investigation revealed fire to be heavy in the back portion of the building. And, shortly after we arrived, fire had breached the roof. From there, it consumed the whole building," said Belfast Fire Department Fire Chief Patrick Richards.
Firefighters say the center is a total loss.
In addition to being a venue for weddings, outdoor events, and other celebrations, the building was also a site for the public transportation services provided by Waldo Community Action Partners -- a non-profit that assists low-income individuals.
Firefighters say that none of the vehicles stored at the site were damaged, and Waldo CAP representatives say that services will continue.
"This is a little shocking, we haven't fully planned for an event as big as this, but contingencies are in place and we are continuing services today," said Donna Kelley, president and CEO of Waldo CAP. "Once we can settle the next few days, we'll be able to put a longer-range plan in place."
Firefighters say it took nearly four hours to put out the fire. Morrill, Belmont, Searsport, Northport and Stockton Springs fire departments responded as mutual aid.
Nearby Belfast residents shared their thoughts on the incident.
"First of all, I think it's an utter shame. I actually live up the street, and the lights from the firetruck had woken me up," said Belfast resident Karen Grace.
Others spoke about what they saw.
"My partner yelled: the Wentworth Center is on fire! I got out of bed and looked through the window and the flames were above the trees. I mean, it was scary," said Belfast resident Doris Allred.
Belfast Mayor Eric Sanders stopped by the scene to show his support.
"Waldo CAP provides a tremendous asset to our city. As a community, we'll get stronger. We're here to coordinate and offer support," said Sanders.
Firefighters say no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state Fire Marshal's office. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/wentworth-event-center-in-belfast-destroyed-by-fire/article_72d00bc8-2e57-11ee-a03f-93a645e426a1.html | 2023-07-30T00:42:44 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/wentworth-event-center-in-belfast-destroyed-by-fire/article_72d00bc8-2e57-11ee-a03f-93a645e426a1.html |
Weeks after catastrophic storms dumped two months of rain in two days over Vermont, causing floods around the state, people continue a long road to recovery.
The reality that rebuilding Vermont will take months as opposed to weeks is sinking in.
More than two weeks ago, Amber Poploski hoped her home would fare better in the torrential rains.
Downpours and flooding made roads in her town of Ripton, Vermont, impassable. She says a firefighter caught her attention, and then...
"I heard a noise, and then I shined my flashlight up. I see the tree coming up. I thought there’s no way I am going to make it out of this," said Poploski.
The Poploskis' home, which was sitting on a hillside, went tumbling down in amudslide as the soil soaked from record rains.
"I ran down the hill, and then I had to wiggle out of whatever I was stuck under," said Poploski.
Miraculously, Poploski escaped serious injury. Her family and three dogs avoided danger too. She’s now nursing an ankle sprain, but she and her husband are dealing with the pain of losing just about everything.
"Every program they’re offering, you have to qualify for FEMA, but we don’t; they offered SBAA loans, but you need to be covered under FEMA," said Poploski.
Even though the Poploskis' home is a total write-off loss and the land is badly damaged, it’s in a county that has a disaster declaration. Their state senator says she’s trying to raise the issue and get them more help.

"Because FEMA determines everything on a county-by-county basis, even people in our county who have had major disasters happen to them have not yet been able to access the FEMA assistance," said State Senator Ruth Hardy.
The lawmaker added that when the state legislatures go back into session, it’s something they will have to examine.
Vermont's Emergency Management agency says more than 4,000 homes were damaged earlier in July, after two months of rain fell in two days, swelling rivers and causing mass floods.
Many in Vermont’s capital, Montpelier, see a long road to recovery ahead.
"I think more people are coming into it, realizing with the time and the silt and category 3 contaminated waste, you gotta properly remove it," said business owner George Estes.
Many don masks in the downtown business district. It’s to guard against the dust from the dried-out silt and black mold festering in flood-damaged dry walls.
Woodbury Mountain Toys is an independent business that is now having to start from scratch. It's selling gift certificates to keep things running.
"We’ve got a lot of support. Working really hard, trying to get it done, we’re hoping for a good holiday season. It would be lovely if we could get open by October, when foliage is at its peak," said Karen Williams, owner of Woodbury Mountain Toys.
Vermont’s fall foliage draws plenty of tourists; businesses hope to recover by then, so people spend too. The Poploskis are hoping they can find solutions to rebuild their dream home.
"We went from having this almost paid off in four years to having to start all over," said Poploski.
The couple Scripps News spoke with is hoping a disaster declaration can include their county so they can get help faster.
In Montpelier, people have been left wondering if a new normal with climate change means they should rebuild their homes and businesses higher.

Tempers flared during the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp session Saturday.
After Travis Kelce hauled in a touchdown pass from All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the star tight end threw a punch with his left hand in the direction of backup linebacker Jack Cochrane.
Saturday's incident was not the first time Kelce's emotions ran high on the practice field.
On Friday, he got into a shoving match with cornerback Dicaprio Bootle.

Saturday's scuffle started after Cochrane tried to knock the ball out of Kelce's hands at the end of the play. At least one teammate approached Kelce and Cochrane in an effort to calm the situation.
TRAVIS KELCE UPSET HE WASN'T ABLE TO MEET TAYLOR SWIFT: ‘I TOOK IT PERSONAL'
Kelce later took to Twitter and issued an apology, saying he needs to be a "better leader" and "better teammate."
Tussles between teammates during training camp are not uncommon. Players often have to compete in hot weather, and athletes on the bottom of the roster are trying to earn a spot on a team before the start of the regular season.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid argued fights are counterproductive.
"Fighting is a waste of time,'' Reid said after Saturday's practice. "You get thrown out of games doing it, you get hurt out here doing it. But they're going to jaw. It's hot, humid. They're going to jaw a little bit. Just as long as there are not punches thrown, we're all right."
During the early portion of his career, Kelce was penalized several times for unsportsmanlike conduct. He was ejected during a 2016 game against the Jaguars after he threw a towel at an official who called a penalty.
Cochrane went undrafted in 2022. He was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad last year in late August before earning a spot of the 53-man roster in September.
He appeared in 15 games in 2022 and recorded nine tackles. | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/chiefs-travis-kelce-throws-a-punch-at-teammate-as-tempers-flare-during-training-camp/article_2b14a570-f8fd-56ac-aa96-7197b38bc9f3.html | 2023-07-30T00:42:50 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/chiefs-travis-kelce-throws-a-punch-at-teammate-as-tempers-flare-during-training-camp/article_2b14a570-f8fd-56ac-aa96-7197b38bc9f3.html |
Four-time NBA champion LeBron James shared an encouraging update on his son Bronny's health Saturday.
Several days after Bronny's cardiac arrest, the Lakers superstar posted a social media video of the 18-year-old playing the piano.
Bronny suffered the medical emergency during a basketball practice at the University of Southern California.
"GRAND RISING!! God Is Great," James captioned the Instagram video of Bronny showing off his musical talents. "@bronny YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Simple as that! Keep going Young [king emoji] !!! We’re here right with you every step of the way!"

In the video, Bronny sits down and plays the keys as his dad and siblings, Bryce and Zhuri, watch. At the end of the video, LeBron says his son is a "man of many talents."
The video drew comments from several of LeBron's celebrity friends, including Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart.
DAMAR HAMLIN LEADS OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT FOR BRONNY JAMES FOLLOWING CARDIAC ARREST
"Blessed!!!!!! God is good KING," Hart wrote. "Happy to see you doing well Bronny."
Foxx, who recently experienced his own health scare, wrote, "Blessings and love."
Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young wrote, "Blessingsss!!"
Bronny was transported from the Galen Center, home of USC Trojans basketball team, around 9:26 a.m. Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times. On Tuesday, a James family spokesperson confirmed Bronny was in stable condition.
"Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest," a spokesperson said in a statement to multiple outlets. "Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU."
He was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Thursday. That same day, James thanked everyone for their support.
"I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers. We feel you and I’m so grateful," LeBron wrote on Twitter. "Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us! #JamesGang."
On Friday, LeBron posted pictures of himself with son Bryce and wrote about his job as a father.
"It’s my job to always remain strong & to show them the blueprint regardless of the outcome! #JamesGang," he wrote.

The brother of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa claims he could have made a lot of money in his redshirt senior season.
Maryland Terrapins quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa said he was offered "crazy money" – $1.5 million – on behalf of an unnamed SEC school if he transferred this offseason, according to The Athletic.
"It can be eye-opening, but I think for my situation – if I was in a different situation where maybe I didn’t have a brother in the NFL or maybe my parents, it’d be a different situation," Tagovailoa said.
Taulia said he consulted with his brother before deciding to return to Mayland for his senior year, per The Athletic’s report.
DEION SANDERS REACTS TO COLORADO’S BIG 12 MOVE: 'A GAME CHANGER'
"It would be hard for me to go to another place and not be happy but have all the money in the world," he said. "(I’d rather) be at a place where maybe I don’t have as much, but I’m happy and I’m here to work."
The implementation of the transfer portal combined with name, image and likeness (NIL) has been a potent combination, and more players than ever are putting their names in the portal.
First-year UAB head coach Trent Dilfer passionately spoke about transfer portal tampering at American Football media days Tuesday.
"It’s cheating. To coerce a player off a roster, whether you do it through a third person, whether you do it through an agent, a collective – no matter how you do it — it’s cheating. It’s against the rules," Dilfer told reporters Tuesday. "So, let’s go attack that."

Dilfer emphasized he has no issue with any of his players entering the transfer portal, but he does have a major problem if other programs try to get his players to enter the portal.
"But don’t have a scouting department in your building that’s doing cut-ups of my players and then going and coercing them to enter the portal when they had no idea, they didn’t want to enter the portal," Dilfer continued. "That’s the problem I’m addressing. And I’m not going to stop."
Taulia Tagovailoa led the Terrapins to an 8-5 record in 2022, the program's first eight-win season since 2010.
The 2022 offense finished the year in the top half of the Big Ten, averaging the third-most passing yards per game in the conference.

Add Rihanna to the list of celebs embracing Barbiecore fashion.
On July 28, the pregnant singer stepped out for a date night with partner A$AP Rocky at Giorgio Baldi, one of her favorite Los Angeles restaurants, while showcasing her baby bump in a bubble pink Xssential Bralette and matching relaxed pants from her Savage X Fenty line.
Rihanna paired the look with vintage Gianni Versace fall/winter 1996 clear frame diamante sunglasses, a vintage Fendi metallic baguette purse and gray PUMA x 8enjamin sneakers with pink, purple and white accents from designer Benjamin Lamprey's new collection. The pair's date night comes amid a rising trend of pink fashion styles that coincides with recent marketing for the Barbie movie, which was released July 21.
Rihanna, 35, is expecting her and Rocky's second child, who will join their son RZA Athelston Mayers, 14 months. The "Umbrella" singer had announced her latest pregnancy in February by showcasing her baby bump onstage in a red outfit at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was recently nominated for five Emmys.
Since then, Rihanna has showcased many more stylish maternity looks, many of them casual chic. While vacationing several weeks ago with Rocky and their son in her home country of Barbados, she was spotted enjoying a frozen treat while wearing a black sports bra and denim mini skirt.
The "Diamonds" singer also posted an Instagram photo of the rapper holding up the toddler by a pool overlooking the ocean at sunset. She captioned the pic, "My Bajan boyz."

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A firefighter has been killed while fighting a massive wildfire in northeastern British Columbia, marking the second such fatality in the Canadian province this month and the fourth in Canada during this year’s record fire season.
A release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Saturday the 25-year-old man from Ontario was working Friday just before 11 a.m. in a remote area when his heavy-duty ATV rolled over a steep drop on a gravel road.
Police say the victim, who has not been identified publicly, was transported by helicopter to Fort St. John but died en route.
The RCMP say a workplace fatality investigation is underway.
Provincial officials have confirmed the man was a contracted firefighter working for the wildfire service through a private B.C. company and died while fighting the almost 6,000-square-kilometer (2,316 square mile) Donnie Creek blaze.
B.C. Premier David Eby issued a statement on Saturday saying the fatality coming so soon after Gale’s death “has shaken people throughout” the province and devastated the firefighting community.
“This wildfire season has been profoundly awful,” Eby said.
Statistics from the provincial wildfire service show there are currently 363 active wildfires in British Columbia, with 11 new fires in the last 24 hours and 191 blazes classified as out of control.
In total, there have been 1,517 wildfires in British Columbia this year, burning a record-breaking 15,397 square kilometers (5,944 square miles) of trees, bush and grassland. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/a-firefighter-has-been-killed-while-battling-a-wildfire-in-british-columbia-canada/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-07-30T00:43:08 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/a-firefighter-has-been-killed-while-battling-a-wildfire-in-british-columbia-canada/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Two people were killed and two others injured Saturday in a midair collision at an airport in Wisconsin.
A Rotorway 162F helicopter and an ELA Eclipse 10 gyrocopter collided shortly after noon local time at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, authorities said. The aircraft belonged to individuals attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual fly-in convention in Oshkosh but were not involved in the air show, a statement from the organization said.
The association, citing the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, said two people were killed and two injured. The injured were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition.
The association said further information would be released as additional details are confirmed. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
Separately, a plane earlier Saturday crashed into Lake Winnebago near Oshkosh, killing two people, according to the sheriff’s office. The NTSB is also investigating that case, which involved a single-engine North American T-6 aircraft. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/4-dead-2-injured-in-separate-aircraft-accidents-in-wisconsin-authorities-say/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-07-30T00:43:14 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/4-dead-2-injured-in-separate-aircraft-accidents-in-wisconsin-authorities-say/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Chasing his first PGA Tour victory Lee Hodges shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday to stretch his lead to five strokes with a round left in the 3M Open.
Hodges had a 20-under 193 total at the TPC Twin Cities to break the tournament 54-hole mark of 195 set last year by Scott Piercy. Hodges led at 8 under after the first round and a record 15 under after the second.
“I have nothing to lose,” Hodges said. “I’m out here playing with house money. I have a job next year on the PGA Tour, this is all great. This is just icing on the cake.”
J.T. Poston was second after a 66. Defending champion Tony Finau was another stroke back at 14 under after a 67.
Hodges’ best finish in 64 prior events was a tie for third at The American Express in 2022, the only other time the 28-year-old Alabama player has led or shared the lead after 54 holes.
And he almost certainly has played himself into the playoffs that begin in two weeks. He began the week 74th in the FedEx Cup standings, with the top 70 players qualifying.
“I honestly don’t think I’ll be that nervous tonight.” Hodges said. “I’ll hang out with my wife. We’ll go do something fun. I mean, yeah, it’s just golf at the end of the day. I’m lucky to be here.”
Hodges opened with an up-and-down even nine holes, then had five birdies on the back nine.
“I didn’t think I played bad on the front nine, I just couldn’t really get it close to the hole and when I did, I couldn’t make the putt,” he said.
Things were much different after the turn.
Hodges dropped birdie putts from 12 feet on No. 10 and nearly 11 feet on No. 11. His tee shot on the par-3 13th stopped 4 1/2 feet from the cup for another birdie. He added a 5-foorter for birdie on 16 and a 7-footer on 18.
He’ll be paired with Poston on Sunday the final group.
“We play some practice rounds together and I know him really well,” Poston said. “He’s a good friend. So, if I can’t get it done tomorrow, I’ll be pulling for him.”
Finau birdied four of his final eight holes. Last year, he trailed by five shots early in the final round and won by three at 17 under.
“It was just nice to make a run on the back nine today just to give myself a chance,” Finau said. “If I’m eight back, that’s a whole different feeling than five or six. I was just happy with the way I finished my round today and to creep up and just be a little closer to the lead.”
Aaron Baddeley was fourth at 13 under after a 65.
Sam Ryder (65), Keith Mitchell (67), Billy Horschel (68) and Kevin Streelman (69) were 12 under. Ryder birdied in his final five holes — and seven of nine — to toe the tournament back-nine record of 29. Mitchell set that mark two years ago.
Kevin Yu shot 29 on his first nine, tying a score recorded by five others, but he was 5 over for his final six holes to finish with a 67. He was tied for 11th.

One hundred three games in, four and a half games out of the wild card, and I can’t help but think — one time in eight years?
There’s a trade deadline approaching in which a few decisions could either sink the team, spark a surge or keep it mired in mediocrity, and I’m reminded: just a single playoff appearance under this regime?
This is not a specific attack on Mariners manager Scott Servais, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto or chairman John Stanton — all of which have (essentially) been in their roles since the start of the 2016 season. But it is an observation that, despite a host of extensions and a pair of 90-win seasons, this franchise has been a disappointment over that span.
That feels particularly relevant now with the Mariners (53-50) about to enter the final two months of a season that once seemed predestined for bliss. It feels even more pertinent knowing the organization’s purgatorial position in the standings makes the choice on whether to buy, sell or stand pat by the Aug. 1 trade deadline especially daunting.
You’d like to think back-to-back 90-win seasons and a 21-year playoff drought coming to an end 10 months ago would give you confidence that the organization will deliver in this critical moment. But given what fans have witnessed over the past 7 2/3 seasons — has the brass earned the benefit of the doubt?
No.
A sports columnist in this town is guaranteed emails or voicemails calling for Servais’ ousting, Dipoto’s departure or Stanton’s sale of the team. They’ll tell you Scott can’t make a decision when it matters, Jerry can’t acquire the proper players and that John is a profit-first penny pincher.
I’m not (quite) arrogant enough to point to the root cause of the problem or tell which of the three deserves the bulk of the blame. And though the past eight years have been better than the previous eight, they have still been far from elite.
No doubt that the Mariners have established themselves as an organization that can spot and develop pitchers as well as most teams in MLB. They entered Saturday’s game with the eighth-best ERA in baseball and the sixth-best among relievers. Last year, they also were eighth and sixth, respectively, in those departments. Does that mean they unload a starter such as right-hander Logan Gilbert in order to acquire much-needed position players going forward? Maybe. Because there is little indication they are going to suddenly improve next season.
To the Mariners’ credit, they have spent money on pitchers such as three-time All-Star Luis Castillo and 2021 Cy Young winner Robbie Ray, who has been out most the season with an injury. But whether it’s because Dipoto has been hamstrung by cash or unable to lure a big bat, they have not been able to supplement those arms with any real offense.
Dipoto has admitted as much.
“Some of the struggle that we have had is simply on me,” said Dipoto on his weekly radio show on Seattle Sports 710 AM, mentioning that the team’s younger players would inevitable endure some “bumps in the road.” “I didn’t do a good enough job of building a group around that core to support the bumps and the bruises. And that’s played out. Now we are four clean months into the season, and that’s been a real hole for us.”
To be sure — nobody in Dipoto’s position is going to say “we had three or four whales lined up if only our tightwad chairman would have opened up his checkbook.” Pinpointing the problem is difficult. But at least credit Dipoto for his transparency in A) recognizing the team’s shortcomings, and B) (as he also on his radio show) admitting they won’t be hunting for “big fish” over the next few days given their record.
Still, what happens at the deadline, how that affects the rest of the season and sets up the Mariners for the future is crucial. The idea that this team would miss the playoffs after going 61-33 over its final 94 games last season, advancing to the ALDS and making the Astros squirm in three straight contests seemed borderline impossible in March.
Instead, with FanGraphs.com given them a 17.3% chance of making the postseason entering Saturdays’ game, it seems more disappointment awaits. That’s become all too familiar a feeling.
No doubt everyone in the Mariners’ front office has been putting in work all these years. Whether they’ve been doing their jobs is another question. | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/with-little-success-doubt-mariners-regime-will-improve-this-team-is-justified/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-07-30T00:43:26 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/with-little-success-doubt-mariners-regime-will-improve-this-team-is-justified/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
The U.S. State Department has selected an Indigenous artist to represent the country at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
Jeffrey Gibson, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, will be the first such artist to have a solo exhibition in the U.S. Pavilion at the prestigious international arts event.
That's according to a statement this week from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the government body responsible for co-curating the U.S. Pavilion, alongside Oregon's Portland Art Museum and SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico.
The State Department's records of the U.S. Pavilion exhibitions date back to when it was built, in 1930.
Although Indigenous artists have shown work more broadly in Venice over the years, the last time Indigenous artists appeared in the U.S. Pavilion at the Biennale was in 1932 — and that was in a group setting, as part of a mostly Eurocentric exhibition devoted to depictions of the American West.
"In 1932, one of the rooms was devoted to Native American art, but it was done in what I would say was a very ethnographic type of presentation," said Kathleen Ash-Milby, curator of Native American Art at the Portland Art Museum, and one of the co-commissioners of Jeffrey Gibson's work in the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. "It grouped native people together and didn't really focus on their individuality as much. There were Navajo rugs on the floor. There were displays of jewelry. Many of the artists were not named."
Ash-Milby, who is also the first Native American curator to co-commission and co-curate an exhibition for the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, told NPR her team selected Gibson because of the artist's wide-ranging, inclusive and critical approach to art-making.
"His work is multifaceted. It incorporates all sorts of different types of media," the curator, a member of the Navajo Nation, said. "But to me, what's most important is his ability to connect with both his culture and different communities, and bring people together. At the same time, he has a very critical lens through which he looks at our history as Americans and as world citizens. Pulling all those things together in the practice of an American artist is really important for someone who's going to represent us on a world stage."
Born in Colorado and based in New York, Gibson, 51, focuses on making work that fuses together American, Native American and queer perspectives. In a 2019 interview with Here and Now, Gibson said the art world hasn't traditionally valued Indigenous histories and artistic representations.
"There's this gap historically about these histories existing on the same level and being valued culturally," Gibson said. "My goal is to force them into the contemporary cannon of what's considered important."
A MacArthur "Genius" Grant winner, Gibson has had his work widely exhibited around the country. Major solo exhibitions include one at the Portland Art Museum last year and, in 2013, at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. His work is in the collections of high-profile institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art. Gibson participated in the 2019 Whitney Biennial.
"Having an Indigenous artist represent the United States at the Venice Biennale is a long overdue and very powerful moment," San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Director Christopher Bedford said in an email to NPR. "Centering the perspectives of contemporary indigenous artists is a critical component of fostering inclusivity and equity in museums, and in our world."
The details of Gibson's contribution for the 2024 Biennale are mostly under wraps. Curator Ash-Milby said the artist is working on a multimedia installation with the title "the space in which to place me" — a reference to a poem by the Lakota poet Layli Long Soldier.
According to the organizers of the U.S. Pavilion, the upcoming Biennale will enable international audiences to have the first major opportunity to experience Gibson's work outside of the U.S. It will be on view April 20 through Nov. 24, 2024.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Aaron Judge homered for the first time since returning from a toe injury, sending a 442-foot drive over the wall in center field in the third inning against Baltimore on Saturday night.
The two-run shot gave the New York Yankees a 3-2 advantage. Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homer in the first.
Judge was hitless since returning Friday, although he drew three walks in that game. He hit a towering flyout in his first plate appearance Saturday. Then he connected off Tyler Wells two innings later.
It was his 20th home run of the season. Judge started in right field Saturday after he was the designated hitter Friday.
Judge had been out since tearing a ligament in his right big toe June 3.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray’s football career was nearly flawless for the first 25 years of his life: First, he was a Texas high school phenom, then a Heisman Trophy winner, then the No. 1 overall pick for the Arizona Cardinals, then a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
In all those situations, Murray was being compared to other football players.
These days, the competition is with himself.
“This is different,” Murray said. “This is you-on-you. Nobody really knows what you’re going through except for yourself and whoever you’re working out with.”
Murray, who turns 26 on Aug. 7, is working his way back to football relevancy following an underwhelming fourth season that was cut short by a torn ACL in his right knee against the New England Patriots on Dec. 12.
The quarterback acknowledged some tough days after the surgery — nights when it was tough to sleep because of the pain — but said he’s not feeling sorry for himself as he works to get back to the field.
“I get to do what I love every day — play quarterback in the NFL,” Murray said. “Did I get hurt? Yeah. Did I experience something no one wants to experience? Yeah. But it’s nothing for me to get up and work out. I was already doing that before I got hurt.”
Murray’s expected to miss at least a few games of the upcoming season while he continues to recover, and the quarterback watched Saturday’s practice at State Farm Stadium in a gray hooded sweatshirt and long black sleeve over his entire right leg.
His impending return is the hottest topic for the Cardinals during camp, but says he’s not committing to a certain return date.
“I don’t have a timetable,” Murray said.
Murray said he saw Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow at a recent UFC event and the two discussed the perils of an ACL injury. Burrow tore the ACL in his left knee during his rookie season in 2020, but returned to play 16 games in 2021.
“I wouldn’t want to go out there and hurt the team or hurt myself,” Murray said. “The advice that I’ve gotten from a lot of people around me is to go when you’re ready. Don’t listen to outside noise. Don’t feel pressure to come back because of this situation or that situation.
“Whenever you’re ready, you’ll know you’re ready.”
Murray has been very good — at times spectacular — for much of his first four seasons. His uncanny scrambling ability has produced several highlight-reel plays and he’s got plenty of arm to make all the throws he needs to make.
The apex of his pro career came in 2021, when the Cardinals started the season with a 10-2 record and looked like a Super Bowl favorite. But the franchise collapsed, losing four of the next five games before getting blown out against the Los Angeles Rams in an embarrassing playoff performance.
With high hopes in 2022, the Cardinals were one of the league’s most disappointing teams, finishing with a 4-13 record. Murray was far from the only reason for those struggles, but also wasn’t blameless, as his performance regressed in several areas.
“It’s not a bad thing to sit back, watch, and try to make this a positive deal,” Murray said. “I feel good. Getting better each and every day, taking one day at a time. Just trying to be there for my teammates and learn as much as possible before I do stuff on the field.”
Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill made big changes after last season’s debacle, bringing in a defensive-minded coach in Jonathan Gannon and a new general manager in Monti Ossenfort. The new regime seems just as smitten with Murray as the previous one — Gannon said one major reason he took the Cardinals job was Murray’s presence.
Murray says he’s excited about what the changes can bring.
The Cardinals have a large monetary interest in making things work: Murray signed a $230.5 million, five-year deal before last offseason that keeps him in the desert until 2028.
“It’s been great so far,” Murray said. “We’re actually establishing a run game. I believe we’ll be able to run the ball a lot better, which will only be a weapon for us. Get under center, mix it up, not be as predictable.”
Veteran Colt McCoy is the Cardinals’ most likely quarterback while Murray continues to recover. The 36-year-old has been the team’s backup for the past two seasons and has a 3-3 record in the six games he’s started.
The other current options are David Blough, who played decently in two starts last season, and Clayton Tune, a rookie fifth-round pick out of Houston.
“To me, whoever is available, we’re trying to put the best guy out there to win football games,” Gannon said. “Obviously, Kyler’s not available right now, but we’ve got a lot of guys who are very capable who I’m excited to see play and compete if he’s not ready to go.”

When you ask Jewell Loyd what she credits her offensive success to this season, she reflects on how much work she put into her game during the offseason.
“It was a different approach,” Loyd said after winning the WNBA All-Star Game MVP. “I knew things would be different coming back to Seattle, so I prepared probably the hardest I’ve ever done physically and mentally.”
Loyd leads the WNBA in scoring, averaging 24.2 points per game. She is within range of Diana Taurasi’s single-season record of 25.3 in 2006.
No player in league history outside of Taurasi has averaged 24 points or more in a season. The closest was Maya Moore who averaged 23.9 in 2014 with the Minnesota Lynx.
She insists the record isn’t her focus during the Storm’s rebuilding season.
The Storm (5-19) are in last place in the WNBA and just broke their franchise-record 10-game losing streak on Friday. Loyd wants to focus more on the squad’s success rather than a record, “It’s never about me, it’s about the team.”
Throughout the season, Loyd has fought off double-teams and traps from opponents trying to stop her makes her relate back to how much time and effort was put into the offseason.
“It’s my preparation coming into the season,” she said. “I have the best training group. They prepared me for this kind of season, just for the growth of my game.”
Knowing this season would be different with the departure of Breanna Stewart to the New York Liberty during free agency and the retirement of Sue Bird, Loyd, 29, knew she’d need to step up and be a leader with four rookies on the roster.
“She’s been utilizing her voice a lot more,” Storm coach Noelle Quinn said. “Whether it’s in a game or in practice, being very vocal. She’s been leading by example, clearly in the way in which she’s worked and showed up every single day.
“She hadn’t had to lead in this particular way in her career yet, but I think every season is a teaching point and for her to be able to learn on the fly as it relates to her leadership.”
Quinn doesn’t need a reminder to know how important Loyd’s offensive presence is to her team.
“Not only is she [leading], but it’s needed for us to be in games,” Quinn said. “It started with her preparation during the offseason. She worked herself into amazing shape both mentally and physically, and has understood what this year means.”
Mercedes Russell has been teammates with Loyd for five years and lauds how the five-time All-Star on how she’s handled this season.
“She’s the best guard in the league,” Russell said. “She [scores] in multiple ways. She’s a three-level scorer, an elite player and a multiple All-Star.”
Loyd will continue her offensive surge Sunday against the also struggling Indiana Fever, who sit just one game above the Storm in the league’s standings. | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/storm/jewell-loyd-has-emerged-as-a-leader-for-storm-as-shes-near-wnba-scoring-record/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-07-30T00:43:45 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/storm/jewell-loyd-has-emerged-as-a-leader-for-storm-as-shes-near-wnba-scoring-record/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
(NEXSTAR) — Pretend you accidentally knock your drink over. What would you say happened to it? If you’re from Texas, or just from the south overall, you might say it “tumped” over.
In general, the word is used when something falls over, spills over, or is knocked over. You can tump someone over or be tumped over by someone else. It’s a useful word — but is it even a word?
And moreover, why do Texans say this?
While “tump” isn’t only found in Texas, you’ll definitely hear it there. Several Texas news outlets have attempted to trace the word’s origin, including Texas Monthly, which pointed to a now-26-year-old post on a message board called Word Wizard (the website is now gone, sadly). According to Texas Monthly’s John Nova Lomax, that lost-to-time post explained that “tump” was a word meant to mimic the “thump” of something falling and hitting the ground.
A common etymological theory is that the word is a combination of the words “tipped” and “dumped” — both of which are frequently followed by the word “over,” as “tumped” often is. In other words, what’s known as a portmanteau, as explained by Texas Standard in 2017.
Again, the verbal phenomenon isn’t signature to only Texas. Many southern outlets, including Oklahoma’s The Oklahoman and Alabama’s AL.com, have noted the trend. Nevertheless, Texans online appear to proudly own the word.
“If you used the word ‘tumped’ you’re: A) from Texas B) not from Texas and possibly just had a stroke. See a doctor ASAP,” joked the popular Texas Humor Twitter account in 2014.
Musings on the word can be seen in connection with Texas Reddit, including this giant thread of Texas slang words.
In a 2020 Reddit thread, one new Texan asked how long until they could convincingly say “Yeehaw,” to which someone posed a counter-challenge: “The real test is when you can properly use ‘tumped over’ in a sentence.”
We may just never know where tump came from. What’s more, researching tump can be more difficult than it used to be since a certain former president’s last name takes up considerable search engine real estate now.
Finally, if anyone ever laughs at you for using tump, just know this: the word’s even made it into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. So tump away, Texas! | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ | 2023-07-30T00:44:11 | 0 | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ |
(NEXSTAR) – The astounding critical and commercial reception of the new “Barbie” movie has catapulted all-things-Barbie back to the forefront of pop culture.
Even Allan!
Mattel’s Allan dolls — first introduced in the earlier half of the ‘60s as a “buddy” for Ken dolls — are currently experiencing increased demand among collectors and Barbie fans, with early specimens selling for upwards of $200 on eBay over the last several days.
The value of Allan dolls has increased, no doubt, due to Allan’s inclusion in the film. But that’s about the only effect the movie has had on the price of vintage Barbies, according to Barbie expert Rebecca Chulew, who has been featured such shows as “Collector’s Call,” “Toy Hunter” and “My Crazy Obsession.”
“Many vintage Barbies were produced by the millions and are easy to find,” said Chulew, who has sold over 10,000 Barbies on eBay and Macari over the years. “Everybody thinks they have a valuable Barbie. The truth is, the majority aren’t.”
Certain vintage Barbie dolls, meanwhile, might still be worth a pretty penny, but their value really isn’t tied to the movie, according to Chulew.
“The doll now is kind of holding steady,” she said. “It has a good value, but I don’t see it going up or down a lot.”
The most valuable Barbies, she said, continue to be the very first series of dolls ever produced in 1959. Specifically, the No. 1 or No. 2 Ponytail Barbies, which can fetch anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000 per doll, depending on condition, the inclusion of the original box, and — perhaps more importantly — the hair color.
“They made three blondes for every brunette,” said Chulew, who noted that brunette Ponytail Barbies from 1959 can sell for up to $6,000, even out of the box.
Chulew further said that sealed or boxed dolls don’t matter as much to many Barbie collectors, seeing as the early opaque boxes were more akin to “shoeboxes” and didn’t showcase the dolls. (“There’s a lot of [online] box sales going on” for folks who want just the packaging, she said.)
Another coveted doll is the Side-Part American Girl Barbie produced in the mid-‘60s, which can go for “about $3,000” (and reportedly once sold for almost double), according to the expert.
Collectors also tend to prize “Twist ‘n Turn” Stacey dolls (not to be confused with Stacie dolls) from the late ‘60s, as well as “Steffie-face” Barbies (i.e., a type of doll using a certain face mold) introduced a few years later. Both can sell for hundreds to the right collectors.
Other valuable dolls include rarer Barbies that weren’t widely produced — like the brunette mentioned above — and, specifically, Black Barbies. According to Chulew, first- and second-issue Francie dolls from 1967-1969 are tough to find, while Alpha Kappa Alpha Barbies (which commemorated the historically African American sorority) can go for up to around $1,000.
And then, there’s Allan.
Allan dolls — including the original from 1964, the bendable-leg version from 1965 and the Wedding Day Allan doll from 1990 — have seen a “slight increase [in value] due to the movie,” said Chulew, adding that sellers might be able to get a few hundred for each one.
The rest of the Barbie line, and even vintage dolls that were mentioned in the movie, are likely worth no more than they were last year.
“I think what you’re going to see in the next 30 to 60 days are a lot of people selling their childhood dolls. And a lot of them aren’t going to be valuable,” Chulew said. “A few rarities might be unearthed, but it might cause stagnation in the market. It’s going to be tough for collectors to sort through all the barbies being advertised as ‘rare’ when they’re not.”
Barbie collectors, on the other hand, might be busy scooping up other “Barbie”-movie merchandise to complete their collections or prepare for any future scarcity. For example, the collectible “Barbie” popcorn buckets from AMC are very “hot” right now, Chulew said, and certain dolls from Mattel’s latest line of movie-inspired figures are becoming hard to find, even if they’re still selling at retail prices.
“But they don’t appear to have made the Allan doll from the movie,” she lamented, “which may be a mistake on their part.” | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/your-vintage-barbie-dolls-might-be-worth-a-pretty-penny-if-you-have-the-right-ones/ | 2023-07-30T00:44:17 | 0 | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/your-vintage-barbie-dolls-might-be-worth-a-pretty-penny-if-you-have-the-right-ones/ |

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a terrible gardener. Fifteen years ago, I planted an avocado tree. It lost all the fruit immediately, and it was more than 10 years before it grew more. Three avocados, to be exact.
In the years since, the tree has yielded a few more avocados each season, sometimes as many as nine or 10. I count them when they appear, and look forward to enjoying one avocado a week for nine or 10 weeks, picking them accordingly.
One friend asked for an avocado. I did not want to give up one of my few fruits, but I did anyway. Knowing the peculiarities of my avocados, I warned her that she should wait at least two weeks before cutting into it.
She didn’t do this. Instead, she cut it open when she believed she had waited long enough, and found it unripe. She threw it away, thereby wasting one of my precious treats.
When another acquaintance asked me about the fruit, I said vaguely, “There aren’t very many.” She begged me for one anyway. I fear the same thing will happen, although I will not ask about it.
I’m sorry to be stingy, but is there a polite way to say no to people who ask me for this fruit?
GENTLE READER: “I am afraid that my gardening skills are lacking and the fruit from my tree is barely edible. When both my tree and I get better at this, I will be happy to share.”
And then, Miss Manners suggests, you enjoy your one piece a week with the shades drawn.

An American woman and her child were allegedly kidnapped near Haiti’s capital city on Thursday, according to the nonprofit organization she works for.
The woman, Alix Dorsainvil, 31, is from New Hampshire but lives in the Caribbean nation and is married to the organization's director, Sandro Dorsainvil.
El Roi Haiti Outreach International, a faith-focused humanitarian group, announced the kidnapping of a staff member Thursday. On Saturday, the organization identified her as Alix Dorsainvil and said the couple's child was also kidnapped. Dorsainvil is the organization's community health nurse.
Dorsainvil and her child were taken from the organization's campus near Port-au-Prince "while serving in our community ministry" Thursday morning, according to a statement on El Roi Haiti's website. They remained missing Saturday.

"Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family," the statement said. "Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus."
On Thursday, the U.S. State Department ordered non-emergency government workers and their family members to evacuate, told all Americans in Haiti to leave and issued a "do not travel" advisory.
"We are aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti," an unsigned email from the State Department's press office said Saturday. "We are in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our U.S. government interagency partners. We have nothing further to share at this time."
Dorsainvil's father declined to comment, saying her family has been asked not to speak to the press during ongoing negotiations.
The kidnapping comes amid what human rights advocates have said is a larger wave of abductions and killings in Haiti. The National Human Rights Defense Network warned of the surge two weeks ago, reporting that at least 40 people had been abducted and 75 killed from May 1 to July 12.

Five days before Dorsainvil's kidnapping, Haitian journalist Blondine Tanis was kidnapped for ransom, abducted as she was arriving home after leaving the radio station where she works, the Committee to Protect Journalists reported.
In July 2021, Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated; the next month, an earthquake devastated a large swath of the country. Kidnappings surged after the quake, and gangs amassed power through violence in the two years since Moïse's killing.
On Saturday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters at a news conference in Australia that the Biden administration has a "very deep concern for the situation" in Haiti, "particularly with regard to the violence and the activities of the gangs."
The U.N. Security Council this month called for an international security force to strengthen law enforcement in Haiti. Blinken said the U.S. had been "trying to put in place what's necessary for a multinational force, including finding a lead nation to take this on, and my expectation is that we will have some progress to report on that very soon."
Kenya's foreign affairs minister, Alfred Mutua, said on Saturday that the country would consider leading a multinational force. He announced a proposal, dependent on Security Council approval, to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti help police "restore normalcy in the country and protect strategic installations."

The State Department's travel advisory on Thursday warned Americans not to go to Haiti due to "kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure." The Caribbean nation has been plagued by violence and unrest, is experiencing shortages of gasoline and medical supplies, and has an ongoing cholera outbreak, according to the U.S. government.
Last week, those at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti were already under orders not to leave and were prohibited "from walking in Port-au-Prince." The State Department ordered U.S. personnel not to use public transportation or taxis, visit banks, use ATMs, drive at night or travel anywhere without prior approval.
"U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible," the advisory reads.
The State Department also warned that kidnappers use sophisticated methods, often demand ransom and sometimes physically harm their targets. "Kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens," the travel advisory says.
Dorsainvil "has been living and working in Haiti for some time now," El Roi president and co-founder Jason Brown said in an email. "Our team at El Roi Haiti is grateful for the outpouring of prayers, care, and support for our colleague. We continue to work with our partners and trusted relationships to secure their safe return."
She graduated from Regis College, a small private university in Weston, Mass., with a bachelor's degree in nursing in 2014, the school said. Antoinette Hays, the school's president, said in an interview Regis has run programs in Haiti for more than a decade. While the school does not send undergraduate students there, Hays said she was unsurprised Dorsainvil chose to work in the country given Regis's ties there.

A photo on the site appears to show Sandro and Alix Dorsainvil with their arms around each other, green hills in the background.
"My name is Alix. I'm a nurse from New Hampshire, but now I live in Haiti," Dorsainvil says in a video about her work on the organization's website. "Sandro invited me to come to the school to do some nursing for some of the kids. He said that was a big need they had."
Sandro Dorsainvil, El Roi's director, grew up in Port-au-Prince in poverty, secured a degree in developmental psychology and biblical counseling and began working with El Roi ministries, which include religious, literacy and vocational programs for children and adults, according to the organization's website.
He graduated from Lustre Christian High School in Montana in 2014. A 2021 alumni newsletter from the school reported that the couple were married in January 2021, were working at El Roi and had adopted one son while fostering two girls.
In a video of their wedding posted to YouTube, the couple exchanged vows that often referenced their shared Christian faith and the depth of their relationship.
"There is no life that I'd like to live without you by my side," Sandro Dorsainvil said, standing next to the bride in front of a wooden cross adorned with white flowers. "It is my honor and my utmost blessing to seek God with you by my side forever."

In her vows, Alix said, "It's been an amazing journey doing life in Haiti with you and watching the Lord work miracles before our eyes."

Chasing his first PGA Tour victory, Lee Hodges shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday to stretch his lead to five strokes with a round left in the 3M Open.
Hodges had a 20-under 193 total at the TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minn., to break the tournament 54-hole mark of 195 set last year by Scott Piercy. Hodges led at 8 under after the first round and a record 15 under after the second.
“I have nothing to lose,” Hodges said. “I’m out here playing with house money. I have a job next year on the PGA Tour, this is all great. This is just icing on the cake.”

J.T. Poston was second after a 66. Defending champion Tony Finau was another stroke back at 14 under after a 67.
Hodges’ best finish in 64 prior events was a tie for third at The American Express in 2022, the only other time the 28-year-old Alabama player has led or shared the lead after 54 holes.
And he almost certainly has played himself into the playoffs that begin in two weeks. He began the week 74th in the FedEx Cup standings, with the top 70 players qualifying.
“I honestly don’t think I’ll be that nervous tonight.” Hodges said. “I’ll hang out with my wife. We’ll go do something fun. I mean, yeah, it’s just golf at the end of the day. I’m lucky to be here.”
Hodges opened with an up-and-down even nine holes, then had five on the back nine.
“I didn’t think I played bad on the front nine, I just couldn’t really get it close to the hole and when I did, I couldn’t make the putt,” he said.
Things were much different after the turn.
Hodges dropped birdie putts from 12 feet on No. 10 and nearly 11 feet on No. 11. His tee shot on the par-3 13th stopped 4 1/2 feet from the cup for another birdie. He added a 5-foorter for birdie on 16 and a 7-footer on 18.

He’ll be paired with Poston on Sunday the final group.
“We play some practice rounds together and I know him really well,” Poston said. “He’s a good friend. So, if I can’t get it done tomorrow, I’ll be pulling for him.”
Finau birdied four of his final eight holes. Last year, he trailed by five shots early in the final round and won by three at 17 under.
“It was just nice to make a run on the back nine today just to give myself a chance,” Finau said. “If I’m eight back, that’s a whole different feeling than five or six. I was just happy with the way I finished my round today and to creep up and just be a little closer to the lead.”
Aaron Baddeley was fourth at 13 under after a 65.
Sam Ryder (65), Keith Mitchell (67), Billy Horschel (68) and Kevin Streelman (69) were 12 under. Ryder birdied in his final five holes — and seven of nine — to toe the tournament back-nine record of 29. Mitchell set that mark two years ago.
Kevin Yu shot 29 on his first nine, tying a score recorded by five others, but he was 5 over for his final six holes to finish with a 67. He was tied for 11th.

LPGA — Céline Boutier carded a 4-under 67 in the third round of the Évian Championship on Saturday to increase her lead to four shots going into the final day.
The 29-year-old Boutier aims to become the first Frenchwoman to win the tournament, which became a major in 2013.
“I didn’t start that good to be honest. I missed the first three greens but got a good break on 2 and was able to chip in. Then I just had really good chances on the two par-fives, seven and nine, and was able to take advantage of that,” said Boutier, who had a bogey on the 12th hole in a round of five birdies.
“I was just trying to focus on making, hitting a good shot, and if I happen to have a birdie opportunity, I hit a solid putt. It was definitely positive and felt pretty good to start very good on the front.”
Boutier’s closest challenger is Japan’s Nasa Hataoka, who posted a 68 on Saturday after rounds of 70 and 67.
“Hopefully I will get more birdies tomorrow. It was good iron shots and distance control,” Hataoka said. “Also I was good too with my putting stroke, so I was really comfortable. Tomorrow is another new day, and I want to enjoy the next 18 holes.”
Minjee Lee of Australia and Brooke Henderson of Canada are joint-third, a shot behind Hataoka.
Champions — Alex Cejka posted his worst score so far at the Senior British Open in windy conditions to take a one-shot lead into the final round after no player went under-par at Royal Porthcawl in Bridgend, Wales.

The German hit a 3-over 74 in the third round to follow a par-71 and an opening 3-under 68.
Cejka is at even-par overall and has a one-stroke lead over four players tied for second on 1 over.
They include overnight leader Steven Alker, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh and Phillip Archer.

SAN FRANCISCO — Tweaks, necessary ones, are part of surviving the big leagues. It’s an adapt-or-die existence.
Triston Casas, who in the Red Sox’ victory over the Giants on Friday night went 2 for 4 with a RBI double and a solo shot, seems to have made his necessary tweak; relaxing his back elbow.
At the beginning of the year, Casas’s left elbow was up, putting his body and hands in a constricted/confined position, leaving him unable to drive the ball in a fashion that he was accustomed to.
“I think when my elbow is down, I’m more relaxed and my swing is faster,” said Casas. “I think if you go back to my setup, like in April, my hands were pretty high. But I’m so tall, I’m such a big, big guy that even if I put my hands at my hip my hands are still over the zone. I think realizing that I’m above the zone, no matter what, I don’t have to be conscious of being [on top of the zone].”
With the back elbow up, Casas would have to create a quick movement instead of letting it happen naturally. With the back elbow down, there’s more fluidity in his swing, giving him a chance to let his natural power take over.

It has paid off.
In 43 games since the start of June, Casas was hitting .321/.417/629 with a 1.046 OPS to go along with 10 homers. After Friday night’s win, Casas was tied for first in the majors with seven homers since the All-Star break, and leading MLB in batting average (.472), on-base percentage (.568), slugging (1.139), and OPS (1.707) since the break.
“I think it’s really a combination of a lot of things. Just getting more at-bats and feeling more comfortable is allowing for a better setup,” said Casas. “Just trying to be more relaxed. I really like loosened my hands, too, because I was definitely gripping the bat really tight in April. My wrist position was weird, too. It wasn’t productive to try to get my hands in the zone. So literally just relaxed my hands and my elbow.”

Chris Sale getting close
Chris Sale (shoulder) will go on a rehab assignment Tuesday, joining Worcester in Syracuse for a matchup against the Mets’ Triple A affiliate. Sale will pitch three innings and then make at least one more rehab appearance before the Red Sox make a decision on what’s next for the lefthander.
Noah Song designated
The Phillies designated Noah Song for assignment Saturday after selecting him from the Red Sox in December’s Rule 5 draft. Song, who was a fourth-round selection by the Red Sox in 2019 out of Navy, missed three seasons in order to honor his military commitment.
Song was on the injured list for a chunk of this season with Philadelphia, but struggled to make strides when he returned, posting a combined 7.36 ERA in eight appearances at Single A, Double A, and Triple A.
The Phillies have until Tuesday to trade Song, or they can put him through waivers. If Song clears waivers, the Phillies will be required to offer him back to the Red Sox.
Corey Kluber shut down
The Red Sox shut down Corey Kluber (shoulder) from baseball activities. Kluber, who made two rehab starts, has been on the injured list since June 21. “It didn’t work out [in his last rehab start],” said Sox manager Alex Cora. “He hasn’t progressed so we’ll make sure we get him right.” He has a 7.04 ERA in 15 appearances (nine starts) with the Sox this year … Reese McGuire (oblique) is set to join the Sox Monday in Seattle for their series opener against the Mariners … Tanner Houck (facial fracture) threw a bullpen Friday and Garrett Whitlock threw a bullpen Saturday … The Red Sox optioned lefthander Joe Jacques to Worcester following Friday night’s game and added righthander Mauricio Llovera to the big league roster. Llovera, 27, was recently acquired from the Giants in exchange for minor league righthander Marques Johnson. Llovera had a 1.69 ERA in five games with San Francisco.

Man dead after golf cart crash in Sun City
SUN CITY, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - A man is dead after a golf cart crash in Sun City on Saturday morning.
The crash happened around 10:30 a.m. near 103rd Avenue and Cherry Hills Drive. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies say that 82-year-old Chester Sharpe was driving a golf cart south on 103rd Avenue when he made an abrupt left turn, crossing the center line and colliding head-on with an SUV. Sharpe died at the scene.
Investigators say their preliminary investigation suggests that Sharpe may have had a medical event that contributed to the collision. The SUV driver was evaluated for impairment and was found to be unimpaired.

(KTLA) — An invasive fly species has prompted the quarantine of an upscale Southern California neighborhood, the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
The Tau fruit fly is native to Asia and is a “serious pest for agriculture and natural resources,” according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
The flies can be typically found on a variety of fruits and vegetables along with a “select range of native plants in California,” officials said.
After the detection of more than 20 Tau flies in the Stevenson Ranch area of the Santa Clarita Valley, a quarantine was placed on residents.
The quarantine area spans about 79 square miles, bordered on the north by Castaic Junction, on the south by Oat Mountain, on the west by Del Valle, and on the east by Honby Avenue.
Stevenson Ranch is an upscale neighborhood with a median home price of $1.15 million dollars according to Redfin.
Officials believe the fly was introduced to Los Angeles County by travelers who brought uninspected produce into the state. Agriculture officials note this is a common way for invasive species to arrive.
To prevent the species’ further spread, quarantined residents are asked not to move any fruits or vegetables away from their property. The produce they own may be safely consumed or processed, but must remain at the property.
If residents choose not to consume their produce, they must be disposed of by “double-bagging in plastic and placing the bags in a bin specifically for garbage,” officials said.
CDFA is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the L.A. County Agricultural Commissioner to “utilize a multi-tiered approach to eliminate the Tau fruit fly and prevent its spread to new areas.”
On properties within 200 meters of fly detections, crews will cut host fruit and vegetables to inspect for present fly larvae. Those properties will also be treated with a “naturally derived organic-approved material known as Spinosad, which will help remove any live adult fruit flies and reduce the density of the population,” said CDFA.
Fly traps that incorporate a pheromone along with a small amount of pesticide will also be placed throughout the treatment zones. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/california-neighborhood-under-quarantine-due-to-invasive-fly-species/ | 2023-07-30T00:45:55 | 1 | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/california-neighborhood-under-quarantine-due-to-invasive-fly-species/ |
As heat-related deaths rise in Pima County, Medical Examiner has cooling trucks ready
TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - This record-breaking heat is not only uncomfortable, it’s downright dangerous and deadly.
In Pima County, the Office of the Medical Examiner is tracking:
- 45 heat-related deaths this year with 31 of those in July alone
- There have been 26 heat-caused deaths with 20 in July
- And 19 heat-contributed deaths, 11 of which happened in July
Even though the county saw most of those deaths in July, the numbers are tracking relatively normal.
Greg Hess, Pima County’s Medical Examiner, said the reason is our mild June temperatures. But as we know, the record-breaking temperatures aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
“Things are getting hotter and there’s sort of an increased demand for better information,” said Hess.
The Office of the Medical Examiner is tracking heat deaths in a new way. Historically, they’ve recorded heat-caused deaths and heat-contributed deaths.
“Heat-caused deaths are a death due directly to hyperthermia,” Hess said.
As for heat-contributed deaths, Hess said “the cause of death might typically be an overdose, but why do we get so many more people deceased outside from overdoses in July than we do in December? So clearly heat contributes.”
Now for the first time, they’re tracking heat-related deaths.
“Heat-related is heat caused plus heat contributed, and that’s new in 2023 for us,” said Hess.
It’s a way to better understand heat’s deadliness, and since the vast majority of deaths have been in July, the county is preparing for an uptick as it only gets hotter.
“People are talking about Phoenix and bringing in temporary cooling because they’re over capacity. We have sort of similar issues just not to the same extreme,” Hess said. “Our census today is 166 remains at the medical examiner’s office in cold storage. That’s more than we typically have. That’s about two-thirds of our total capacity. We do have one of our cold trucks here on site and it is turned on so we can use it if we need it.”

(The Hill) — More than 20 states across the U.S. are under heat advisories as of Saturday.
From the California coast to the Midwest to the Southeast and the North- and Mid-Atlantic, 110 million Americans are facing scorching temperatures that could even get up to triple digits, according to ABC News.
Earlier in the week, the National Weather Service warned of “continued excessive summer heat” across the country in a forecast discussion. In the Washington, D.C. region, daily highs sat around 96 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the NWS. In New York City, temperatures topped out at 90 degrees.
“Triple-digit heat continues across the southern half of the Plains to the eastern Gulf Coast while cool and unsettled weather continues across the northern Plains toward the Midwest,” the NWS said in their latest forecast discussion on upcoming weather between Monday and Tuesday.
The NWS said cooler temperatures will arrive in the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Sunday. However, they said these cooler temperatures will be preceded by thunderstorms as a result of the cold front creeping south.
“However, prior to the arrival of the cool air, the cold front will trigger strong to severe thunderstorms along with locally heavy downpours which may be accompanied with gusty winds and/or squalls as they move through the aforementioned areas from west to east through tonight,” the NWS aid in the forecast discussion. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/more-than-20-states-in-us-still-suffering-from-excessive-heat/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:01 | 1 | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/more-than-20-states-in-us-still-suffering-from-excessive-heat/ |

(NEXSTAR) — Pretend you accidentally knock your drink over. What would you say happened to it? If you’re from Texas, or just from the south overall, you might say it “tumped” over.
In general, the word is used when something falls over, spills over, or is knocked over. You can tump someone over or be tumped over by someone else. It’s a useful word — but is it even a word?
And moreover, why do Texans say this?
While “tump” isn’t only found in Texas, you’ll definitely hear it there. Several Texas news outlets have attempted to trace the word’s origin, including Texas Monthly, which pointed to a now-26-year-old post on a message board called Word Wizard (the website is now gone, sadly). According to Texas Monthly’s John Nova Lomax, that lost-to-time post explained that “tump” was a word meant to mimic the “thump” of something falling and hitting the ground.
A common etymological theory is that the word is a combination of the words “tipped” and “dumped” — both of which are frequently followed by the word “over,” as “tumped” often is. In other words, what’s known as a portmanteau, as explained by Texas Standard in 2017.
Again, the verbal phenomenon isn’t signature to only Texas. Many southern outlets, including Oklahoma’s The Oklahoman and Alabama’s AL.com, have noted the trend. Nevertheless, Texans online appear to proudly own the word.
“If you used the word ‘tumped’ you’re: A) from Texas B) not from Texas and possibly just had a stroke. See a doctor ASAP,” joked the popular Texas Humor Twitter account in 2014.
Musings on the word can be seen in connection with Texas Reddit, including this giant thread of Texas slang words.
In a 2020 Reddit thread, one new Texan asked how long until they could convincingly say “Yeehaw,” to which someone posed a counter-challenge: “The real test is when you can properly use ‘tumped over’ in a sentence.”
We may just never know where tump came from. What’s more, researching tump can be more difficult than it used to be since a certain former president’s last name takes up considerable search engine real estate now.
Finally, if anyone ever laughs at you for using tump, just know this: the word’s even made it into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. So tump away, Texas! | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:07 | 0 | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ |

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction on Saturday that blocks an Arkansas law.
A federal judge has blocked Arkansas’ new book censorship law from taking effect, according to court documents from the Western District of Arkansas.
United States District Judge Timothy Brooks granted a preliminary injunction after oral arguments took place earlier this week.
The law was scheduled to take effect on Tuesday.
This ruling means Act 372 will not go into effect as originally planned.
Act 372 would have banned libraries from distributing materials that have been deemed “obscene” to kids.
The law is not struck down completely by the judge’s ruling, but it does mean it will not go into effect until lawmakers determine its constitutionality.
The Fayetteville Public Library was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, along with the Central Arkansas Library System, and the Eureka Springs Carnegie Library.
From Judge Timothy Brooks’ ruling:
“The balance of the equities and public interest here decidedly favor Plaintiffs, given the likelihood of the infringement of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Defendants will suffer no harm if the preliminary injunction is granted.”
ACLU of Arkansas Executive Director Holly Dickson responded to the lawsuit commending the court’s decision.
“We commend the court’s decision to stop the enforcement of Sections 3 and 5 of Act 372, which would have jeopardized the essential First Amendment rights of all residents of Arkansas,” Dickson said. “It’s regrettable that we even have to question whether our constitutional rights are still respected today. The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties. We are committed to maintaining the fight to safeguard everyone’s right to access information and ideas.” | https://www.kark.com/news/politics/federal-judge-grants-injunction-stopping-new-arkansas-library-law/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:13 | 0 | https://www.kark.com/news/politics/federal-judge-grants-injunction-stopping-new-arkansas-library-law/ |

(NEXSTAR) — Yet another new, unsafe trend is catching attention.
This time, some TikTok users are encouraging viewers to add borax to their water, claiming the common cleaning product can help reduce inflammation and joint pain, or even “detoxify” the body. As you may have guessed, health officials are warning of the consequences the trend could have on your health.
Borax, or sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is a chemical compound commonly available in the form of a white crystalline powder. It’s been utilized in a variety of ways since the Middle Ages, and today is often used a laundry detergent, kitchen/bathroom cleaner, and even a bug and weed killer.
Boric acid has also been found to have bacteriostatic properties, meaning it can prevent the growth of bacteria, Dr. S. Ruddy Rose, director of VCU Health’s Virginia Poison Center, told Nexstar.
Despite its endless safe uses, however, borax is not approved for ingestion by humans.
Ingesting borax can cause people to become quite sick, according to Dr. Rose, leading to convulsions, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, heat burns, and even kidney damage.
“This happens pretty quickly,” he adds.
Even the company behind 20 Mule Team Borax, a popular borax product, has warned against participating in the TikTok trend.
“20 Mule Team Borax has many uses but ingesting is not one of them,” the company warned on July 25.
“Do not bathe in, apply to skin, or ingest Borax, including drinking it diluted in water,” the company continued. “It is not intended for use as a personal care product or dietary supplement.”
Should your child fall victim to the trend, Dr. Rose said you can follow up with the child’s pediatrician, as long as they don’t have any symptoms. But if your child is vomiting, has abdominal pain, or experiences a seizure or other serious symptoms, it’s best to seek emergency medical attention.
Several videos recommending borax have been removed from TikTok, according to NBC News.
Social-media users, meanwhile, should always be cautious about taking medical advice from influencers or TikTok personalities.
“Just beware of these types of activities,” Dr. Rose said. “The people promoting it may not be doing it for the right reason.”
Borax uses
There are plenty of non-dangerous ways to use borax that you may not be aware of.
- It can unclog drains. As recommended by Southern Living, 1/2 cup of borax and two cups of boiling water down a clogged drain should clear it right out. Let the solution sit for 15 mins before flushing with warm water.
- It’s a pest deterrent/killer. Borax is a desiccant, which means it sucks up moisture. In this way, borax can be useful to sprinkle in places where bugs might ordinarily populate. The powder will keep the area dry and make it less optimal for insects to make home. Meanwhile, if bugs are already in your home, it’s not too late. The Spruce explains that insects, like cockroaches and ants, become “dried out” from the inside and die after eating the powder.
- It can help grow your fruit trees. Bob Vila recommends adding borax to the soil around your tree to help keep the plant’s pH levels desirable for growth.
- It’s in ingredient in “slime.” If your kids love making and playing with slime, Taste of Home has a recipe for using borax to make the stretchy, gooey stuff. | https://www.kark.com/news/why-are-people-drinking-borax-cleaning-powder-on-tiktok/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:19 | 1 | https://www.kark.com/news/why-are-people-drinking-borax-cleaning-powder-on-tiktok/ |
