FAYETTEVILLE — Bauxite safety Marcus Wimberly has committed to Arkansas while attending the Hogwild Hangout.
Wimberly, 6-1, 182, committed to Arkansas over Michigan and others. He announced the decision on Twitter Saturday after leaving the Hogwild Hangout. Wimberly then talked to Hogville about his decision.’
“It’s like I said in the interview the day I got my offer it has been a dream since I was a little kid,” Wimberly said. “I grew up watching the Hogs. Coach (Sam) Pittman gave me that opportunity last month. After that opportunity happened I prayed and prayed about it. God finally gave me confirmation. Today, I pulled the trigger and committed to the Hogs.”
He was offered by Arkansas on June 17 following a great showing at a football camp. He runs a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash. Wimberly got the offer from Pittman following the camp.
“It was definitely a feeling like no other,” Wimberly said. “Growing up being a fan of them. I felt a little emotionally, but I didn’t want to let it out right there. When I got to the car tears of joy just bailed out of me.”
Wimberly joins Central Arkansas Christian quarterback Grayson Wilson, 6-3, 185, as committed in 2025. Wilson was elated when Wimberly shared the news with him.
“Me and Grayson have been keeping in touch,” Wimberly said. “Me and him are actually really close. I let him know right before. I said, “Hey Grayson, I’m getting ready to commit.’
“‘He was like no way already?’ He was pretty pumped. It’s really good to know I’ve got him coming up there with me when I come up there.” | https://www.kark.com/pig-trail-nation/arkansas-adds-marcus-wimberly-to-class-of-2025/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:25 | 0 | https://www.kark.com/pig-trail-nation/arkansas-adds-marcus-wimberly-to-class-of-2025/ |

Two catchers, three pitchers and a veteran coming back to where his career began.
That was the return for the Chicago White Sox after dealing five pitchers in three trades since Wednesday.
The Sox find themselves in the selling mode after not being able to dig out of a dismal 7-21 start to the season. They entered Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians 21 games under .500 at 42-63.
“For us to be in this position, we didn’t meet expectations,” manager Pedro Grifol said Friday.
The moves began late Wednesday with the Sox trading starter Lucas Giolito and reliever Reynaldo Lopez to the Los Angeles Angels.
The Sox made two trades Friday, sending starter Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly to the Los Angeles Dodgers and reliever Kendall Graveman to the Houston Astros.
All the players the Sox acquired were at Double A or higher.
“Near-readiness has a great deal of appeal when evaluating the value of a trade,” general manager Rick Hahn said Friday. “We did have some A-ball targets we discussed with teams. But when you balance out returns, having guys a little closer to the majors increases the value if the ceilings are similar.”
Here’s a closer look at the returns in each of the deals.
Los Angeles Angels
Edgar Quero was the No. 2 prospect in the Angels organization, according to MLB.com. Now the switch-hitting catcher is in that same slot with the Sox.
“Very smart kid, got a good head on his shoulders,” Grifol said Thursday. “He understands the game.”
Ranked the No. 65 prospect in baseball according to MLB.com, Quero slashed .245/.385/.332 with 13 doubles, three home runs, 35 RBIs, 39 runs, 54 walks and 53 strikeouts in 69 games this season with Double-A Rocket City in the Southern League. He is slashing .311/.447/.432 (23-for-74) as a lefty.
“We know his abilities as a switch-hitter, he controls the strike zone,” Grifol said. “He understands the demands of the position, the communication part of the position. He’s ready to get to work.”
The 20-year-old was selected to the 2023 All-Star Futures Game. He was the California League Most Valuable Player in 2022, slashing .312/.435/.530 with 35 doubles, two triples, 17 homers, 75 RBIs, 86 runs, 12 stolen bases and 73 walks in 111 games with Class A Inland Empire.
Ky Bush was a Futures Game selection in 2022. The left-hander was the No. 3 prospect in the Angels organization, according to MLB.com, and holds the No. 6 spot in the Sox organization.
Bush, 23, went 1-3 with a 5.88 ERA and 33 strikeouts in six starts this season Rocket City. He had a 1.84 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his last three starts.
Hahn said Wednesday that a lat strain derailed the start of Bush’s season and there was a “small groin issue” while rehabbing it, but he’s back at Double A throwing consistently.
“He provides a four-pitch mix, quality left-handed starter,” Hahn said. “Someone with some upside and adds to that category in our organization.”
Bush and Quero are on the Double-A Birmingham roster.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Nick Nastrini struck out at least eight batters in four of his final eight starts for Double-A Tulsa in the Texas League.
The right-hander was the No. 9 prospect in the Dodgers organization, according to MLB.com. He’s the No. 4 prospect in the Sox organization.
Nastrini, 23, went 5-3 with a 4.03 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 17 starts for Tulsa.
“This is a real solid, four-pitch mix, athletic kid, good delivery and a command of four different pitches,” Hahn said Friday. “We’re excited to get him. This is a good get. As is (Jordan) Leasure.”
MLB.com ranks Leasure, 24, the No. 26 prospect in the Sox organization. The right-hander has a 2.33 ERA with 43 strikeouts in his 22 appearances since May 1. Overall he had a 3.09 ERA, 56 strikeouts and nine saves in 29 relief appearances this season with Tulsa.
Trayce Thompson’s big-league career began in 2015 with the Sox. The outfielder has a career .216/.304/.428 slash line with 44 homers, 123 RBIs and 123 runs in 333 games during parts of eight major-league seasons with the Sox (2015, ‘18), Dodgers (2016-17, 2022-23), Oakland Athletics (2018), Chicago Cubs (2021) and San Diego Padres (2022).
“He’s a very strong team guy and the type of guy we want in here as part of this culture,” Hahn said.
Nastrini and Leasure are on the Birmingham roster. Thompson, 32, has been on injured list since June 4 with a strained left oblique and is eligible to be reinstated Thursday.
Houston Astros
Korey Lee and Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn were college roommates at California. Grifol wouldn’t be surprised if they are teammates again before the end of this season.
The 25-year-old catcher was the No. 5 prospect in the Astros organization and is ranked No. 13 in the Sox organization. He slashed .283/.328/.406 with 18 doubles, five home runs, 32 RBIs and 37 runs in 68 games this season with Triple-A Sugar Land in the Pacific Coast League. He has been dealing with a strained right oblique.
Lee played in 12 games with the Astros in 2022, going 4-for-25 (.160) with four RBIs.
“I’m a fan of his,” Grifol said. “I remember watching him (last year against Kansas City). He was athletic, he can really throw, he has some pop in his bat. He really caught my eye.
“I was watching some video of him yesterday, and we did really well there. It’s an area of need for us that we addressed … and I’m looking forward to seeing him.”
Vaughn also provided a scouting report.
“You go to catching, he’s got a cannon behind the plate,” Vaughn said Saturday. “He’s good back there. He’s a good hitter, he’s got a lot of pop.
“It’s really cool that we got Korey in that trade.”

Trader Joe’s is recalling a broccoli cheddar soup that may contain insects and cooked falafel that may contain rocks, about one week after the grocery chain recalled two cookie products over similar concerns.
The soup recall impacts Trader Joe’s Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup with “Use By” dates ranging from July 18 to Sept. 15, according to a Thursday announcement from the company. On Friday, the grocer announced that Trader Joe’s Fully Cooked Falafel sold in 35 states and Washington, D.C., was also under recall.
On July 21, Trader Joe’s announced that it was recalling Trader Joe’s Almond Windmill Cookies and Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies with “sell by” dates ranging from Oct. 17 to Oct. 21. Like the falafel, the cookies may also contain rocks, the company said.
When asked for further information about how the insects and rocks may have gotten into these products, a Trader Joe’s spokesperson said that “there was an issue in the manufacturing processes in the facilities.” Suppliers alerted Trader Joe’s of the possible foreign material for each recall, the company said.
“We pulled the product from our shelves as soon as we were made aware of the issue. Once we understood the issue we notified our customers,” the spokesperson said in a statement sent to The Associated Press Saturday.
All of the recalled cookies, soup and falafel have been removed from sale or destroyed, Trader Joe’s said in its announcements. But the Monrovia, California-based company is still urging consumers to check their kitchens for the products.
Trader Joe’s says customers who have the recalled products should throw them away or return them to any store for a full refund. Lot codes and further details about the products under recall, as well as customer service contact information, can be found on the company’s website.
Trader Joe’s did not specify how many products were impacted with each recall or identify suppliers. But one Food and Drug Administration notice cited by NBC News says that the Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup recall impacts around 10,889 cases sold in seven states. Winter Gardens Quality Foods, Inc. is identified as the recalling firm, per the notice.
No formal releases about the three recalls were published on the FDA’s Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts page as of Saturday. The Associated Press reached out to the FDA and Winter Gardens Quality Foods for information on Saturday.
“We have a close relationship with our vendors and they alerted us of these issues. We don’t hesitate or wait for regulatory agencies to tell us what to do,” the Trader Joe’s spokesperson said. “We will never leave to chance the safety of the products we offer.” | https://www.mcall.com/2023/07/29/more-trader-joes-recalls-soup-bugs-falafel-rocks/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:34 | 1 | https://www.mcall.com/2023/07/29/more-trader-joes-recalls-soup-bugs-falafel-rocks/ |
What does Uchenna Nwosu’s Seahawks deal mean for Darrell Taylor?
Jul 29, 2023, 9:15 AM
(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
Just days before training camp officially kicked off, the Seattle Seahawks were able to lock up one of their best players.
Edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu, 26, was set to enter the final year of his two-year deal he signed last offseason in free agency. But on Monday, the Seahawks and Nwosu agreed to a three-year extension that will keep him in Seattle through 2026. The three-year deal is worth up to $59 million, with $32 million of that guaranteed.
Seattle Seahawks sign Uchenna Nwosu to 3-year extension
The move has an impact in many ways for the Seahawks in addition to keeping Nwosu in the fold for three more years.
The deal is expected to open up salary cap space for Seattle for 2023. So do the Hawks have another big move in the works?
Related: After Nwosu deal, is time right for Seattle Seahawks to bring back Harris?
Additionally, it could have an impact on other edge rushers on the roster, as Brock and Salk discussed this week.
“I got a text here. The 509 says, ‘Did the Seahawks just decided who they’re keeping between Taylor and Nwosu?'” Mike Salk relayed. “I mean, in some ways the answer to that is an obvious yes. They’re keeping Nwosu. But I don’t know if that’s the real choice. To me, it’s more of a (Darrell) Taylor-(Boye) Mafe conversation, right?”
Taylor, the Seahawks’ second-round pick in 2020, missed his entire rookie season due to injury but had 6.5 sacks in 2021 and tied Nwosu for the team lead with 9.5 last season. Mafe, meanwhile, was a second-rounder in 2022 and had three sacks as a role player last season. The Seahawks also drafted Auburn’s Derick Hall, yet another edge rusher, in the second round this past April.
“I mean, they’ve drafted a guy in the second round in three straight years to play that outside linebacker/defensive end spot. And I felt like Nwosu was always kind of gonna be here. He’s the one who’s been starting,” Salk said. “Maybe this is sort of a wake-up call to all of those guys of like, ‘Hey, one of these spots is set, so who’s going to compete for the other one?’ Just as much as they take care of the guys who succeed, they still want competition with everybody else.”
Brock Huard thinks it impacts Taylor the most, but not as you might expect.
First off, Huard noted that because Taylor missed his rookie year due to injury, he’ll be a restricted free agent come year’s end – not an unrestricted free agent.
“His contract (rolled over) another year, so he would become an exclusive rights (free agent). They’d be able to put .. a tender to him and have his rights for another year,” he said.
Instead of this being a fight for your job-type of event for Taylor, Huard thinks the young edge rusher should be very happy by what transpired.
“It actually to me is Darrell looking at it going, ‘Good. I’m glad (Nwosu) got his money, man. He deserves his money. He’s been a pro in this league. He’s been a contributor. He had an excellent year last year. If I go out and I do what I’m capable of doing and I add on my sack total and I become a 15-sack guy down the road, that bag of money is here in Seattle,'” Huard said. “And they’ve shown that over the years.”

TONIGHT: With clear skies, calm winds, and relatively lower humidity temperatures will be able to cool into the mid 70s overnight. Southwest winds around 5 mph.
SUNDAY: I’m forecasting temperatures to be even hotter Sunday afternoon. I think Little Rock will reach 101° with feels like temperatures near 110°. There is a 20% chance for a shower or storm, but it looks like most of the activity will be in Northern Arkansas.
MONDAY: Temperatures will take a step back on Monday in Northern and Central Arkansas. I’m forecasting a high of 98° here in Little Rock. There will also be the possibility of rain across the northern half of the state.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK: Rain and storm chances will be highest on Tuesday. Temperatures will go from the mid 90s on Tuesday to the low 100s by Thursday and Friday. It does look like we could see some rain and cooler temperatures next weekend!

BALTIMORE — With the Aug. 1 trade deadline just days away, Aaron Boone is trying to keep his focus on the players he has to work with.
“We need to handle our room,” the Yankees manager said before Saturday’s game against the Orioles. “We have guys that we know are capable of more, and that’s our focus, like just trying to get the most out of everyone in that room. And we all feel like there’s more all of us can do to get that out. So that’s about solely where my focus is.”
While Boone has repeatedly said that the last-place Yankees have the guys to get it done, the team entered Saturday’s game 3.5 games out of the American League’s third and final wild-card spot. The Yankees’ next two opponents, the Rays and Astros, hold the first two wild card slots, while the Blue Jays are in possession of the third. The Red Sox are 1.5 games out, while the Angles are only half a game behind the Yankees. The Mariners are one game behind New York.
Prior to the weekend, the Yankees felt they were in a position to be buyers, but the team was taking things day-by-day entering their big series against the first-place Orioles. The Yankees lost Friday’s game 1-0 despite Aaron Judge’s return from a toe injury and Gerrit Cole’s dominance on the mound.
Should the Yankees make any additions, the offense figures to be a priority. The lineup struggled mightily without Judge, and it didn’t exactly look good with him on Friday.
Left field, which has been a revolving door for the Yankees and plagued by poor defense, is one position the club could upgrade. But when asked about left specifically, Boone said he “can’t worry about what’s not here” and speculation, which runs rampant this time of year.
“I mean, technically everything can be upgraded,” Boone said. “The reality is Jake Bauers and [Billy McKinney], [Isiah Kiner-Falefa] have all been productive when they’ve been in there.
“I don’t even know if that’s a reality or who that person may be. Our job is to get everyone ready to do their job the best they can right now. That’s our focus. And as I’ve said all along, I feel like we have more than capable people in that room.”
While Boone is focused on his clubhouse, he did say that general manager Brian Cashman gave him an “overview of the war room” on Saturday.
“But until something’s imminent — like this might be a reality — we got this to worry about,” Boone continued. “We got the Orioles and trying to get a victory.”

Mark Schlereth shares what he thinks of Seahawks entering 2023

What do the Seattle Seahawks look like heading into the 2023 season?
Seattle Seahawks Observations: What Stacy Rost saw and heard at camp
Former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth, a FOX Sports NFL analyst who’s also a host at Seattle Sports’ sister station in Denver, joined his former teammate Dave Wyman and his co-host Bob Stelton on Friday to talk about the NFL and, naturally, the Seahawks came up.
Schlereth dove into his opinion of where the Hawks stand heading into the 2023 season after a surprise playoff run last year.
“You look at the Seahawks, and one of the things they do is they really do a great job of not only picking out what they want the draft, but actually developing those players,” Schlereth told Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob. “And I don’t think a lot of teams do probably give Pete Carroll and his staff enough credit for what they were able to do.”
A big part of the Seahawks’ success last year was the play of their rookie class. Of the nine-man draft class, five became regular starters by year’s end and two more were contributors, too.
“You look at (offensive tackles) Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas and (cornerback) Tariq Woolen and (nickel cornerback) Coby Bryant, (running back) Ken Walker. You got a draft class from last year that just flat-out produced and were big time. And Woolen obviously was a Pro Bowl player,” Schlereth said.
This year, the Seahawks had two picks in each of the first two rounds and 10 selections total. Schlereth thought this year’s draft was a bit of a continuation from 2022’s class.
“You look at this year’s draft and what they might be able to accomplish in this year’s draft continuing to build the back end of their defense,” Schlereth said, pointing to No. 5 overall pick Devon Witherspoon, a cornerback. ” … It’s kind of the New England Patriots philosophy, if you will, of letting guys leave maybe before they’re completely finished, but letting them leave and developing young guys behind them. They really did a good job in the draft last year, and those players came out and played exceptionally well.”
Schlereth also pointed to quarterback Geno Smith and how he “surprised us all” last season when he became a Pro Bowler. Thanks in large part to Smith and the last two drafts, Schlereth thinks the Seahawks are “a really good football team.”
Ultimately, it comes down to the defense, which had its share of struggles last year, particularly against the run.
“They’ve gotta fix their run game. I was looking at some film earlier today of San Francisco just (running through them),” Schlereth said. “… (The Seahawks) were a big group up front, but getting reached, inability to get off blocks, inability to play the Niners when they shifted. And (the 49ers) created exactly what they wanted through tight end shifts, through fullback shifts, and really exploited the edge of the Seahawks defense. So they’ve got to fix that, obviously.
“With some younger players, some guys that have a little bit more movement. They’re gonna play that kind of 3-4 reduction front, either the 35 or 37 stuff, or five-man front. But they’ve got to get some guys inside that can get off blocks, that aren’t going to get reached, that can stack dudes, get off and make plays. And that’s what they didn’t have last year, and obviously that’s why there’s so many changes inside this year.”

Aaron Baddeley has been on the PGA Tour since 2003 and is a four-time winner, but he has mostly been on the fringes since his last win in 2016 at the Barbasol Championship.
The 42-year-old Australian had missed two cuts in a row coming into the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine. Steady improvement in Minnesota has Baddeley in position to challenge for another PGA victory.
Baddeley has shot 69-66-65 and will start Sunday’s final round in fourth place, seven shots behind Lee Hodges. Baddeley’s 6-under 65 in the third round on Saturday was tied with Sam Ryder for the best round of the day.
“I felt like I’ve been sort of really close to putting a week like this together,” Baddeley said. “Like I said before, I missed a few cuts, but it hasn’t reflected how I’ve been playing. Felt like this year’s been sort of close and actually feel like the putter hasn’t quite cooperated as well as I would have liked.”
Baddeley made a change in his swing coach in 2021 that has helped his grip and setup. He said he discovered something in his routine at the John Deere Classic in July and “a couple months ago sort of figured out something on my backstroke.”
Add it all up, and Baddeley is back being in contention.
“I feel like starting this season was a bit of a turning point where I feel like the game has really been consistently good week-in and week-out for the most part,” Baddeley said. “Then, it’s just getting a few scores on the board. Yeah, stuff I’m working on with (swing coach Mike Adams) has been really great to simplify it where I can go out each week and just sort of play and not think too much.”
Continued improvement could allow him to keep playing.
He started the week 109th in the FedEx Cup standings, well outside the top-70 qualifying line for the playoffs. He’s currently projected to move all the way up to 84th after his week in Minnesota.
“That would be huge,” Baddeley said of potentially qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs. “Especially playing out of the category that I’m in, the past champions category, to push my way in there and try and get that top-70 would be pretty awesome, just so I can sort of pick my schedule. It would be a little bit easier on the family, a little easier on my wife.”
Check the records
Two players on Saturday equaled the best nine-hole scores in 3M Open history with a 29. Kevin Yu went out by shooting a 29 over the first nine holes on Saturday. Ryder followed with a 29 on the back-nine.
Yu actually made six birdies in a row and birdied eight of nine holes at one point on Saturday. But he finished his round with four bogeys in the final six holes to finish with a 67. He’s tied for 11th at 10 under heading into the final round.
Ryder’s strong finish put him at 12 under for the tournament, and he’ll start the final round tied for fifth after shooting 70-66-65.
Leader Lee Hodges finished the third round at 20-under par, which breaks the 54-hole record. Hodges has 193 strokes through three rounds, five better than the 198 record set by five players, most recently Michael Thompson and Richy Werenski in 2020.
Hodges’ five-shot lead heading into the final round is a new record, beating the four-shot mark held by Scott Piercy last year.
Reason to cheer
The two players with Minnesota ties to play the weekend are still giving supporters plenty to cheer about.
Tom Hoge, a two-time Minnesota state amateur champion who is from North Dakota, shot a 3-under 68 on Saturday and is in a tie for 27th at 8 under for the tournament. Frankie Capan III, who is from North Oaks, shot a 73 on Saturday and is tied for 55th at 4-under par for the tournament.
“Yeah, it’s a lot of fun for me this week,” Hoge said. “Even without the golf, it’s fun to be back here, a spot that I’m very comfortable with, and to see a lot of familiar faces. So, it’s been a great week and hopefully finish strong tomorrow.” | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/baddeley-in-contention-to-end-victory-drought-at-3m/ | 2023-07-30T00:46:43 | 1 | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/baddeley-in-contention-to-end-victory-drought-at-3m/ |

Seahawks Observations: What Stacy Rost saw and heard at training camp
Jul 29, 2023, 11:29 AM | Updated: 11:32 am
(Abbie Parr/Getty Images)
We entered Seattle Seahawks training camp with three big questions and we don’t yet have answers after just three days, but we do have some new insight.
Rost: 3 questions as Seattle Seahawks kick off training camp
First: a reminder from Pete Carroll that defensive lineman Jarran Reed is also competing at nose tackle (the question of who’d be the starter there was the first of our three).
“Jarran Reed playing nose tackle for us is crucial,” Carroll told reporters Wednesday. “He’ll do great there. That is going to be one of the key elements of building it around him and we’re really counting on him to be a big factor.”
It had been assumed the Seahawks would be looking at rookie Cam Young and potentially bring in more competition at the spot, but the first day of camp brought a reminder that Seattle’s coaching staff is hoping they have an answer already without gambling on an unknown commodity.
Secondly: There’s still no update on whether Jamal Adams and Jordyn Brooks will be ready to go at the start of the season. The assumption is that Brooks, by virtue of a late-season ACL tear, will return later and that Adams may have a better chance to return to start the season.
But the only real clarity this week was a roster move: several starters, including those two, were added to the preseason PUP list. An important note: this isn’t the regular season PUP list, so a player can be activated from the list at any point (expect to see Riq Woolen sooner rather than later, for instance). He just can’t be added back if he re-injures himself.
“I mean, they are close to being ready,” Carroll said of Adams and Brooks. “None of us from our side and the players’ side want to push it until we get more information here and take our time and judge our way through this thing.”
Our final question won’t be answered in camp, but we can get clues along the way: Can Geno Smith be “the guy”? So far, so good. Seattle’s starter looks sharp in his second season starting under Shane Waldron.
Seen and heard at Seattle Seahawks camp
• Dee Eskridge and Jaxon Smith-Njigba both look great to start training camp. It isn’t surprising given the benefits for pass catchers and offensive players in camp, but which it’s also certainly good news for the former.
• Devon Witherspoon made his training camp debut Friday after signing his rookie contract (having missed the first two days during negotiations). While the expectation is that a No. 5 overall pick will jump right into a starting role, he’ll still need a solid showing given Michael Jackson’s continued stellar performance there. Jackson was the best player in OTAs and continued to build on that offseason with a dominant Friday, including winning a one-on-one matchup against DK Metcalf in red zone drills.
• Linebacker Devin Bush joined Bump and Stacy Friday to talk about his transition to Seattle. There’s some football talk, but most fans will prefer this nugget: Devin, whose father played in the league, shared a funny story about growing up with a parent in the pros. As a kid he once asked a friend: “Which team does your dad play for?”
• Lots of energy from the defense on Friday and a pretty good day overall with a couple takeaways. It’s too early to read into anything this time of the year, but tracking growth from this side of the ball will continue to be the prime focus in camp for a team that finished 25th in scoring and 30th against the run.

Even after Edwin Diaz went down for the season back in March, it was inconceivable the Mets, with their record highest payroll in history, would wind up sellers at the trading deadline. Yet here they are, raising the white flag over Flushing, beginning with the trading of David Robertson to the Marlins for a couple of low-level teenage “futures” plus agreeing to deal Max Scherzer to the Rangers and all but admitting they’ve been a $345 million catastrophe.
And somewhere Steve Cohen is asking: “How did it come to this?” And, perhaps more importantly: “Where do we go from here?”
How it came to this is mostly unexplainable. You could make the case that GM Billy Eppler perhaps didn’t do a great job of roster construction, but how does Jeff McNeil hit nearly 80 points below his league-leading .326 batting average last year? Or Pete Alonso’s slash line of .271/.352/.518 in 2022, shrink to .217/.315/.497? Or Francisco Lindor fall off from a .270 batting average and .788 OPS last year to .228/.760 while on pace for 30-40 fewer RBI?
It was nobody’s fault that Jose Quintana, counted on to fill one of the rotation vacancies from the free agent departures of Chris Bassitt and Taijuan Walker, missed the first 3 ½ months of the season with a freak injury, but without him the Nos. 4 and 5 spots after Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga have been an unenviable crapshoot all season long for Buck Showalter. Most egregious, however, was Eppler’s failure to secure any hard-throwing strikeout arms behind Robertson, as the Mets pen appeared too often to be an endless parade of Triple-A “tin cans”.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about this Mets pratfall — other than payroll doesn’t equivocate to pennants (see: Yankees) — it’s that they are nowhere near the same class as the Braves, who have superior players, on both sides of the ball, at catcher, first base, second base, third base, right field and maybe even center field where Michael Harris II, an elite defender, is developing fast into a solid hitter. And while we might give the edge at shortstop to the Mets, it’s based purely on Lindor’s reputation. The fact of the matter is the Braves’ Orlando Arcia has had an All-Star season.
There’s not a whole lot Eppler can do about the Mets’ offense as a whole other than hope Alonso, McNeil and Lindor will revert to ‘22 form and that Starling Marte, at 35 next year, isn’t nearing the end of the line (as it’s looked) and has some comeback in him. They lack power in the outfield which could be partially rectified by moving Brett Baty off third base where he’s been a defensive liability. That would also open up a spot for Ronny Mauricio, whose time appears to be at hand.
But if Cohen ever expects to realize the fruits of his spending, Eppler is going to need to make major additions to the pitching staff — starting with re-signing Robertson (who loved pitching for Showalter) after the season. That would certainly help ease the angst of Met fans unwilling to wait ‘til 2025 or later to see the two prospects, 18-year-old middle infielder Marco Vargas, or 19-year-old switch-hitting catcher Ronald Hernandez, he got back from the Marlins. To close the gap on the Braves, the Mets are going to have to do it with pitching, and with the understanding there may not be a whole lot left in the tank with Scherzer and Verlander.
Word is, because of Eppler, they may have a leg up on the competition for 25-year-old Orix Buffaloes righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto acknowledged as the best pitcher in Japan the last few seasons, who will be a free agent at the end of the season. But they’re going to need at least one more starter and it would be nice if one could emerge from the system from among Blake Tidwell, Mike Vasil, Christian Scott or Dominic Hamel. And the bullpen, even with Diaz’s return and a re-signing of Robertson, needs a near-total overhaul.
Cohen may find this hard to believe but the reason his Mets are sellers at the trading deadline this year is because they’re not a very good team, offensively, defensively and pitching-wise.

IT’S A MADD, MADD WORLD
There was quite a hue and cry among the nation’s baseball media last week when the Angels declared Shohei Ohtani was not being traded — and then went out and dealt two of their top three prospects to the White Sox for rental righty Lucas Giolito.
“How could they hold onto him?” howled the masses, to which I would say: “How could they not?” Even if all the naysayers prove to be right and the Angels don’t make the playoffs, you have to give them credit for trying, and even if Ohtani does move on as a free agent, how do you trade a player – no matter what the circumstances – who is having the most incredible season in baseball history?
Angel fans all feel blessed (as do we all) to be able to witness Ohtani’s daily pitching and hitting feats — like last Thursday’s doubleheader against the Tigers when Ohtani notched his first career shutout in the opener — a one-hitter — and came back in the nightcap to hit his 37th and 38th homers as the Angels’ DH. Ohtani, who says the secret of his success is sleeping 12 hours a day, went into the weekend leading the majors in homers, triples (7), total bases (258), OPS (1.070) plus fewest hits allowed per nine innings (5.9) and opponents batting average (.185).
According to the Elias Bureau, only two players in history, Jim Rice in 1978 and Willie Mays in 1955, have ever led the league in both homers and triples in the same season. The American League MVP ought to be unanimous, no matter where the Angels finish up. We’ve never seen anything like this before and doubtless never will.

The Mets’ tear-down is underway, with the team agreeing to trade veteran ace Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers in a deal still pending his approval, the Daily News can confirm.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner would have to waive his no-trade clause for the move to go through.
Scherzer, 39, is in the second season of a three-year, $130 million contract. The final year of the deal is a player option worth $43.3 million.
The right-hander is 9-4 this season but has pitched to a 4.01 ERA, his worst mark in more than a decade.
The agreement between the Mets and the Rangers came a day after Scherzer said he wanted to speak with the Mets’ front office about its intentions before the Aug. 1 trade deadline. The Mets traded closer David Robertson to the Marlins on Thursday.
“Probably got to have a conversation with the front office,” Scherzer said Friday after holding the Nationals to one run over seven innings in a win. “I mean, you’re trading our closer away. I’m sure a bunch of people are gonna have to have conversations with the front office.”
Scherzer would help bolster a Rangers rotation that is missing former Mets ace Jacob deGrom, who recently underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow after signing a five-year contract with Texas in the offseason.
The Rangers currently lead the AL West. Their pitching coach is Mike Maddux, who held the same role with the Nationals in 2016 and 2017, when Scherzer won back-to-back Cy Young Awards there.
The Nationals traded Scherzer to the Dodgers before the 2021 trade deadline. Scherzer said that situation was different than this year’s with the Mets, who are in fourth place in the NL East and outside of the playoff picture despite the biggest payroll in MLB history.
“When I was in Washington, I was going to be a free agent,” Scherzer said Friday. “Our season was going south and I wanted to get traded to a playoff contender. That was the calculus with me with the Nationals. This time around, I’m not going to be a free agent. I have another year here. We did great things last year. We won 101 ballgames last year. Unfortunately, this year it’s not.”
About an hour before news of the trade emerged, Mets manager Buck Showalter said he didn’t have an issue with Scherzer’s comments.
“I’m sure that’s how he feels,” Showalter said Saturday. “Max has made it very clear why he gets up in the morning. He wants it to be here. That’s the way he’s always felt. He likes it here.”
Co-ace Justin Verlander, who signed a two-year, $86.6 million deal with the Mets in the offseason, has also been the subject of trade rumors.

In the new film “Oppenheimer,” Cillian Murphy portrays the title character, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, as a profoundly complex man who on one hand was an ego-driven womanizer and on the other a deeply troubled genius drowning in self-doubt and regret.
Kathy Hanousek remembers Oppenheimer as the guy in a suit and a hat for whom she once staged a play with the help of her friends in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
“I was just a kid,” Hanousek said with a laugh. “What did I know? But who else can say they did a play for Oppenheimer? It seemed like the thing to do at the time.”
Hanousek is a lifelong St. Paul resident save for her three years spent in Oak Ridge, a planned city built as part of the Manhattan Project, the three-year, top-secret U.S. government project that led to the creation of the first nuclear weapon.
She was just 3 when FBI agents approached her father, Dr. Charles Rea. At the time, Rea had three children — Hanousek and two younger siblings — and had just purchased a home and started practicing medicine.
“This was 1942, beginning of ’43,” she said. “One day, the FBI just showed up and said to him, ‘You’re coming with us. It’s a government thing for the war.’ My dad had no idea what it was about. But all of America was in the war. You just obeyed when you were told. And off he went, not knowing where he was going or what he was going to do. He was told it was likely his family could join him in time and that they weren’t telling him where he was going, but that it was in America.”
Once Rea arrived in Tennessee — “It was the boonies,” Hanousek said, “Smoky Mountain country” — he met Gen. Leslie Groves, the Manhattan Project director played by Matt Damon in the film. Groves told him the government would provide him all the materials to get a new hospital up and running. In just six weeks.
Hanousek said her father responded with, “Maybe you have the wrong man?” Groves barked back, “You can read, can’t you? You will have all the equipment you need. I want you to staff the hospital.” (Hanousek praised all the main actors in “Oppenheimer,” but added Damon could have been much more gruff to match the real-life Groves.)
Rea turned to his alma mater the University of Minnesota to recruit 10 Minnesota doctors to join him, a list that Hanousek said includes William Bernstein, Burt Mears, Asher White, Joseph Ryan, Gerhardt Knutson, Leonard Kallestad, Frank Bryant, Vernon Lindberg, E. George Olsen and John Eneboe.
“My dad always said the doctors worked tirelessly,” she said. “They all got along. It was a common cause. I’m sure my dad probably knew what was going on (with the Manhattan Project), but he didn’t talk about it that much. I would never ask those questions as a kid.
“They were all friends and all young. Think about how young they were. The dean of the medical school referred to Oak Ridge as the Southern Branch of the University of Minnesota Medical School.”
Hanousek and the rest of the family soon relocated to Oak Ridge, where scientists were focused on trying to process uranium. She said the community grew from about 600 to 76,000 over the three years.
“I remember mud. And boardwalks. Lots of mud,” Hanousek said. “All the little kids, some of whom I’m still friends with, didn’t care about that, though.”
Over that time, Hanousek met many of the major characters in “Oppenheimer” when her parents hosted them. “My dad always had lots of people coming to the house. It was good, old Minnesota hospitality,” she said. “That includes Oppenheimer, who I remembered because he had such a different last name. To me, he was just another adult who always wore a suit and hat. My dad dressed that way, too. They all did.”
Her time in Oak Ridge stuck with Hanousek throughout her life. She went on to marry Richard Hanousek, a real estate developer and CEO, and raise five children. Twenty years ago, she took a trip back there with her now-late husband. “I was amazed at how much I could remember. I said, ‘Turn right here, that’s where I went to school. This is where we swam. That’s the tree where we did the play for Oppenheimer.’”
When she first heard that the film was being shot by blockbuster director Christopher Nolan, she decided to prepare by exploring the library of Manhattan Project books her father left her. In particular, she recommends “The Road to Trinity: A Personal Account of How America’s Nuclear Policies Were Made,” by Maj. Gen. Kenneth Nichols, who led operations at Oak Ridge, and “The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II,” by Denise Kiernan.
Hanousek saw “Oppenheimer” on opening night. She said it was long, but she praised the accuracy of the look and feel of the era. She suggested doing some light reading about the Manhattan Project beforehand, as the first hour can get confusing. She also said, once again, she was surprised at how many of the people portrayed in the film she remembered from her youth.
“It was a time when the whole country was working together,” she said. “Now, you wouldn’t have that. I don’t think you would have that now.”
After spending the last several years immersed in her childhood memories, one final question remains for Hanousek. Did she also see “Barbie”?
“No,” she said with a laugh. “I hope to. Is it any good?” | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/st-paul-woman-kathy-hanousek-j-robert-oppenheimer/ | 2023-07-30T00:47:01 | 0 | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/st-paul-woman-kathy-hanousek-j-robert-oppenheimer/ |

KANSAS CITY — It was obvious a roster crunch was coming earlier this week with both Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco needing to be activated, and rookie outfielder Matt Wallner was well aware of it.
“I feel like I’ve kind of done my part, but it’s ultimately not my decision,” he said Wednesday. “I’m just trying to do what I can do, and I feel like I’ve done a good job of that, honestly.”
He’s right — he had.
Wallner, who hit a pair of home runs on Wednesday, had done his part to make the Twins’ decision as hard as possible, and when the dust cleared, he was in Kansas City, still on the roster.
To make room for Buxton, the Twins optioned Trevor Larnach, whom Wallner appears to have jumped on the Twins’ depth chart. To welcome Polanco back on the roster, the Twins made a surprise move, optioning a pitcher — Cole Sands — and deciding to keep 14 position players for the time being.
The Twins prefer to keep 13 pitchers — the maximum allowed by rule — on the roster, but are carrying an extra position player at least for now in the middle of a stretch with another off day upcoming.
There’s no telling how long Wallner will stay on the roster — the Twins could add a bat at the deadline or trade from their surplus of lefty outfielders, which would change the equation. But he has certainly made a good case for inclusion.
“There’s no denying the impactfulness of what he does at the plate right now,” manager Rocco Baldelli said.
Wallner, who has crushed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a .291/.403/.524 slashline, has produced quite well in his minimal time in the majors this season, as well. In 22 games entering Saturday, he was hitting .268 with a .906 OPS.
“That’s kind of the first time it’s happened to me where I’ve been in the position where it probably could have been me easily and it wasn’t. That’s a cool thing for me, for sure,” Wallner said. “I guess we’ll see what happens going forward, but I’ve just got to keep doing what I’m doing.”
No worry about Duran
Jhoan Duran is mired in the worst month of his career — he has given up 10 runs (seven earned) in 9 2/3 innings in July entering Saturday — but the Twins projected little concern about their most reliable reliever.
“I’m not worried about him getting hit,” pitching coach Pete Maki said shortly after Duran surrendered a walk-off grand slam on Friday. “That’s not going to be a sustainable thing where he’s giving up hard contact. The thing to address is free passes. It’s not like him. He’s traditionally been a great strike-thrower. Just a little blip on the radar.”
Duran walked a pair of batters on Saturday to load the bases — the automatic runner was already on to begin the 10th — and Maki said that’s partly because the reliever has been working on the shape of his breaking ball a little bit and “with that comes maybe some feel for command that’s not quite there.”
“I wouldn’t say it was anything we put a finger on where you start to worry at all,” catcher Ryan Jeffers said. “Every pitcher goes through these little stretches where today, it’s one thing. Another day, it’s another. It’ll all come back and click together.” | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/twins-outfielder-matt-wallner-trying-to-make-decisions-difficult/ | 2023-07-30T00:47:07 | 1 | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/twins-outfielder-matt-wallner-trying-to-make-decisions-difficult/ |

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins loves to tell the story about the time his wife Julie brought their oldest son Cooper to a game against the Lions at Ford Field in Detroit.
It was a memorable game for most fans because the Vikings somehow lost to the winless Lions on the final play of regulation. It was a memorable game for Julie because while Kirk was busy playing in the game, Cooper had completely lost interest shortly after halftime.
“He’s just laying on the floor coloring like, ‘Why am I here?’ ” Cousins said with a laugh. “My wife got home from that game, and she was like, ‘Never again will I take a 4-year-old to a game.'”
Now that Cooper is getting older, he’s slowly starting to grasp the gravity of each game. As much as a kindergartner can anyways. That’s something Cousins is very much looking forward to as he gets the Vikings prepared for the Sept. 10 opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“This year will be fun,” Cousins said. “This will be their first year where he’ll probably come to the games and know what is going on a little bit.”
As special as it will be for the family to have Cooper willingly along for the ride this time around, it’ll probably still be a couple of years before the youngest son Turner fully understands.
That’s motivation enough for Cousins to keep playing as long as he can.
Though he originally agreed to the Netflix docuseries “Quarterback” so he had a time capsule to show his sons down the road, Cousins clearly wants them to have their own memories of watching him on the field.
“We’ll see how far we can go,” Cousins said. “Certainly, I want to play long enough for my boys to be a part of it.”
Anyone that watched “Quarterback” knows that’s not a guarantee with the punishment Cousins has taken over the course of his career. Just because he’s a pocket passer doesn’t mean he doesn’t take a beating on a weekly basis. As Cousins noted, sometimes delivering a strike a millisecond before getting crushed can be just as painful as absorbing a tackle in the open field.
“Everybody got to see who Kirk really is,” star receiver Justin Jefferson said. “I’m glad they came out with that to see the difficulty of the things Kirk goes through and the struggles that he battles through.”
Equally as illuminating as the punishment Cousins takes on a weekly basis, is the process he goes through to put himself back together.
“I’m glad everybody got to see what he puts into the game,” general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said. ” I don’t think that’s something that the common person really understands what he puts his body through.”
That’s a big reason Cousins hired bodywork coach Chad Cook this summer. Similar to how the legendary Tom Brady credited bodywork coach Alex Guerrero with helping him extend his career, Cousins is hoping Cook can do the same thing for him. I
“We’ve worked together for a long time,” Cousins said. “I was tired of doing the deal, ‘You know, send me an email, let me know what I need to do, and I’ll try to do it.’ ”
Now the only thing Cousins has to do is simply show up and have Cook put him back together as best he can.
“Just felt that there was a lot of merit in saying, ‘I have a small window here to maximize,'” Cousins said. “If I play one year more than I otherwise would have because I took it this seriously, then that’s well worth it.”
As much as Cousins is going the extra mile for his sons, he’s also doing it for 12-year-old version of himself. He remembers being a middle schooler in Holland, Mich., looking up at the night sky in the summertime.
“You’d see a shooting star and everyone would make a wish,” Cousins said. “My wish was to be a pro quarterback. So I’m going to do all I can to maximize that, and shame on me if there was more out there to get and I didn’t do all I could. Even if it ends after this year, I have to feel like I walk away with peace of mind that I did everything I possibly could and left nothing out there.” | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/vikings-star-quarterback-kirk-cousins-wants-to-play-long-enough-for-his-sons-to-remember-it/ | 2023-07-30T00:47:13 | 1 | https://www.twincities.com/2023/07/29/vikings-star-quarterback-kirk-cousins-wants-to-play-long-enough-for-his-sons-to-remember-it/ |

The Movies in Flagstaff summer series continues on Wednesday, Aug. 2, with the city premiere of “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” at 7 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company, which has partnered with the Sedona Film Festival.
A voice that spanned genres and generations, a talent that elevated the art of the song, a heart like a wheel that continues to revolve around family, music, and the art that brings us together, Linda Ronstadt had an extraordinary vocal range and ambition as she created unforgettable songs across rock, pop, country, classic Mexican music, soul and more.
She burst onto the music scene in 1967. As the most popular female recording artist of the 1970s — with songs such as “You’re No Good,” “When Will I Be Loved,” and “Blue Bayou” — Ronstadt filled huge arenas and produced an astounding 11 platinum albums. Ronstadt was the first artist to top the Pop, Country and R&B charts simultaneously, she won 10 Grammy Awards on 26 nominations and attained a level of stardom the Tucson native never could have imagined.
People are also reading…
Ronstadt accomplished all of this — becoming the most successful female rock artist of her generation, and one of the biggest musicians in a bigger-than-life era — with a grace, focus and generosity that made this woman who played to sold-out arenas relatable to millions of fans.
In “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice”, Ronstadt is our guide through growing up in Tucson singing Mexican canciones with her family; her folk days with the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the “queen of country rock” in the ‘70s and early ’80s. She was a pioneer and champion for women in the male-dominated music industry, a passionate advocate for human rights and had a high-profile romance with California Gov. Jerry Brown. Ultimately, her singing voice was stilled by illness and forced her into early retirement.
With moving performance footage and appearances by friends and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” celebrates an artist whose desire to share the music she loved, made generations of fans fall in love with her — and the sound of her voice.
“This film will make you fall in love with her all over again.” — The Hollywood Reporter

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.

(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://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/more-than-20-states-in-us-still-suffering-from-excessive-heat/ | 2023-07-30T00:48:33 | 0 | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-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://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ | 2023-07-30T00:48:39 | 1 | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ |
Austin man suffers injuries after being attacked by robbery suspect
AUSTIN, Texas (KWTX) - A robbery suspect in Austin attacked a man with a knife and threw him to the ground.
The suspect walked up to the victim in the 1400 block of West Anderson Lane at around 1:50 a.m. and held them at knifepoint, demanding their belongings.
The Austin Police Department says the suspect then attacked the victim, slashing their hand and throwing them to the ground.
The victim suffered severe head injuries, according to APD.
APD says the suspect took the victims belonging and fled the scene on a bike heading north on Lazy Lane.
The suspect is described by police as a 20 t0 35-year-old white man. He is 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has shoulder length blonde hair, a scruffy beard, full sleeve tattoo on his left arm and a large tattoo on the front of his neck above the collar.
Detectives believe the suspect uses a bike for transportation and likely frequents or lives in the area surrounding the Burnet Road and US Highway 183 intersection.
Anyone with information is asked to call the APD Robbery Unit at 512-974-5092. An anonymous tip can be submitted through the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program by visiting austincrimestoppers.org or calling 512-472-8477.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – AHH…Relief from the heat and humidity as arrived for CNY! Best day of the weekend is ahead! Details are below…
Saturday was a soaker across the region with a general 1 to 2 inches of rain for many, including a little more than an inch and a half in Syracuse. This led to a bit of flash, urban and poor drainage flooding in spots Saturday. Below are two pictures from Maria Zavaglia-VanRiper in East Syracuse.
Below you can see where the heaviest rain fell Saturday, close to the Thruway corridor with less amounts east of Lake Ontario and across the Southern Finger Lakes.
Turning drier for the most part & refreshing tonight
The highlight of Harborfest in Oswego, the fireworks show, takes place this evening and it looks like the weather cooperates with a partly cloudy sky and refreshingly cool air! Temperatures are in the 60s this evening with some clearing.
Do we stay dry through the night? For the most part yes, but the air actually is likely going to turn cool enough to produce some lake clouds overnight and possibly even a few spotty lake showers south and southeast of Lake Ontario.
Eventual lows tonight drop into the 50s to near 60 which is going to feel so good letting that air cool the house/apartment down as you sleep.
Best part of the weekend!
Even with a good deal of sunshine we expect temperatures only to warm into the mid to upper 70s Sunday afternoon which will only be the third time we haven’t warmed to at least 80 degrees in Syracuse this month! The last time Syracuse felt a high below 80 degrees was all the way back on July 10th when the high only made it to 69 due to the rain and clouds that day.
More importantly, the dew points drop into the 50s to close out the weekend which will feel very refreshing! Sunday certainly is the pick day for anything you may have planned outdoors this weekend.
Stays refreshing to end July & start August
It looks like this change to cooler and less humid air is going to last for a while too. There is another cold front coming through on Monday with a few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm during the late morning and afternoon. Highs to start the new week are near 75 with a breeze and not humid too.
In the wake of this front is another pleasant, even slightly cooler air mass taking us into the middle of next week and the beginning of August.

We are continuing to track severe thunderstorms across parts of our region. Chief Meteorologist Jeff Haniewich will let you know how long they’ll last.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – 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.”

BALTIMORE – 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.

Judge blocks Arkansas law allowing librarians to be criminally charged over ‘harmful’ materials
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court’s ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
“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,” Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be “reviewing the judge’s opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law.”
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge’s 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
“As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!” he said in an email.
“I’m relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS’ librarians has lifted,” he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is “thrilled” about the decision. She said enforcing this law “is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can.”
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state’s 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library’s decision to move children’s books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas’ restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

Milk and Honey vendor fair showcases local businesses
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A local vendor fair was hosted at Milk and Honey on July 29.
The fair was showcased the hard work put forth by creative and talented individuals. The vendors were able to share their small business creations with the community. A variety of handmade jewelry, candles and stuffed animals were available to purchase.
Francesca Kelley, owner of Ink and Paw, started operating at vendor fairs this year to help grow her small business and has learned a lot through these opportunities.
“When you go to a vendor fair and you’re able to learn the personality of the vendor fair, you’re able to better utilize your expertise to help mold that experience for people,” said Kelley.
Vendors say this opportunity allows them to showcase all of the hard work they have put in to be where they are now.
“These are great opportunities not only for me to meet face to face with people, but also to kinda tell them a little more about what I make,” said All That Flickers Candle Co. owner Abigail Brooks.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will return at some point this season. The question is: When?
Even Murray doesn’t know the answer to the question.
“I wouldn’t want to go out there and hurt the team or hurt myself,” Murray said Saturday, via Darren Urban of the team website. “The advice I’ve gotten from a lot of people around me is, obviously, to go when you are ready. Don’t feel pressured to come back because of this situation or that situation. I feel when that time comes, I’ll know.”
Murray continues to work his way back from reconstructive surgery Jan. 3 to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee. He said he is ramping up the work, doing some cutting on the knee now and “getting closer to football.”
He talked to Joe Burrow this offseason about what to expect with the Bengals quarterback having had a successful comeback from a torn ACL in 2020. Burrow told Murray that his biggest hurdle was being hesitant in the pocket.
“That’s something every athlete [does],” Murray said. “You’re a little scared to run the first time you pull a [hamstring]. But with reps, with everything, confidence comes. Even in the weight room, the first time I do things, I’m hesitant.
“The first time I jumped, I was hesitant. But we are preparing the body, preparing the mind to be able to do those things. I do think the first time I’m out there, maybe I might be [hesitant], but with the reps the confidence will grow.”
The problem for Murray and the Cardinals is they have a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator and a new offense, and the starting quarterback is getting no physical reps. Murray is in all the meetings and at practice and is confident he grasps the playbook.
“If I wasn’t taking the reps mentally and spitting it out at home in the mirror, to the coaches, in meetings, yeah, I’d probably be behind,” Murray said. “But the fact we are on it and constantly doing it, it’s been easy.”
The two-time Pro Bowler expects to play at an even higher level than he has when he returns.
It’s an important year with the Cardinals the betting favorites to finish with the worst record in the NFL and USC quarterback Caleb Williams expected to be the No. 1 overall pick.
So, Murray needs to show that he remains the team’s quarterback of the future as well as the present. | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kyler-murray-on-his-return-i-feel-when-that-time-comes-ill-know | 2023-07-30T00:52:35 | 1 | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kyler-murray-on-his-return-i-feel-when-that-time-comes-ill-know |
Well, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com was onto something,
Less than a day after the man who covers the Colts for ESPN raised the possibility of running back Jonathan Taylor requesting a trade, Jonathan Taylor reportedly has requested a trade.
That’s the word from Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
The news comes after Taylor and owner Jim Irsay met on Irsay’s bus, and after Irsay said (via Holder) there are still no plans to extend Taylor’s contract. (Holder also adds that the trade request was first made several days ago.)
We’ve previously suggested that Taylor should have held out of training camp. Irsay perhaps wisely timed his unwise tweet about the running back position until after Taylor had reported.
Taylor still has no real leverage, given that he has reported. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it’s much harder for a player to leave after he has reported.
That said, Taylor wants out. And Colts G.M Chris Ballard previously has echoed, in a #PFTPM interview, the mantra from Steelers coach Mike Tomlin that “we want volunteers, not hostages.”
“Mike Tomlin says it best,” Ballard explained in 2022. “I always say, ‘You want volunteers.’ You want people that want to be here. So when you get a player who doesn’t want to be in your organization anymore, you can play hardball -- which sometimes we all do -- but you want volunteers. You want people who want to be here.
Taylor no longer volunteers. Will the Colts now seek trade partners?
The second-round pick from Wisconsin had 1,811 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns in 2021. He missed six games due to injury in 2022. He is signed through 2023. | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-jonathan-taylor-requests-a-trade | 2023-07-30T00:52:45 | 0 | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-jonathan-taylor-requests-a-trade |
The Steelers have agreed to terms with linebacker Kwon Alexander pending a physical, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
Alexander, 28, worked out for the team in May.
The Steelers added Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts in a free agency overhaul at inside linebacker and now have another veteran addition.
Alexander spent last season with the Jets. He appeared in all 17 games for the team with 12 starts, playing 49 percent of the defensive snaps. Alexander finished with 69 total tackles with six tackles for loss and two quarterback hits.
A fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft, Alexander spent his first four seasons with the Buccaneers before signing with the 49ers in free agency. He was then traded to New Orleans in 2020 and played there through the 2021 season.
Alexander has appeared in 95 career games with 86 starts. | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-steelers-agree-to-terms-with-kwon-alexander | 2023-07-30T00:52:55 | 1 | https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-steelers-agree-to-terms-with-kwon-alexander |
Judge blocks Arkansas law allowing librarians to be criminally charged over ‘harmful’ materials
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court’s ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
“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,” Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be “reviewing the judge’s opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law.”
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge’s 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
“As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!” he said in an email.
“I’m relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS’ librarians has lifted,” he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is “thrilled” about the decision. She said enforcing this law “is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can.”
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state’s 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library’s decision to move children’s books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas’ restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers broke for their August recess this week with work on funding the government largely incomplete, fueling worries about whether Congress will be able to avoid a partial government shutdown this fall.
Congress has until Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year, to act on government funding. They could pass spending bills to fund government agencies into next year, or simply pass a stopgap measure that keeps agencies running until they strike a longer-term agreement. No matter which route they take, it won’t be easy.
“We’re going to scare the hell out of the American people before we get this done,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.
Coons’ assessment is widely shared in Congress, reflecting the gulf between the Republican-led House and the Democratic-led Senate, which are charting vastly different — and mostly incompatible — paths on spending.
The Senate is adhering mostly to the top-line spending levels that President Joe Biden negotiated with House Republicans in late May as part of the debt-ceiling deal that extended the government’s borrowing authority and avoided an economically devastating default.
That agreement holds discretionary spending generally flat for the coming year while allowing increases for military and veterans accounts. On top of that, the Senate is looking to add $13.7 billion in additional emergency appropriations, including $8 billion for defense and $5.7 billion for nondefense.
House Republicans, many of whom opposed the debt-ceiling deal and refused to vote for it, are going a different way.
GOP leaders have teed up bills with far less spending than the agreement allows in an effort to win over members who insist on rolling back spending to fiscal year 2022 levels. They are also adding scores of policy add-ons broadly opposed by Democrats. There are proposals to reduce access to abortion pills, bans on the funding of hormone therapy and certain surgeries for transgender veterans, and a prohibition on training programs promoting diversity in the federal workplace, among many others.
At a press conference at the Capitol this past week, some members of the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative faction within the House GOP, said that voters elected a Republican majority in that chamber to rein in government spending and it was time for House Republicans to use every tool available to get the spending cuts they want.
“We should not fear a government shutdown,” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va. “Most of the American people won’t even miss if the government is shut down temporarily.”
Many House Republicans disagree with that assessment. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, called it an oversimplification to say most Americans wouldn’t feel an impact. And he warned Republicans would take the blame for a shutdown.
“We always get blamed for it, no matter what,” Simpson said. ”So it’s bad policy, it’s bad politics.”
But the slim five-seat majority Republicans hold amplifies the power that a small group can wield. Even though the debt ceiling agreement passed with a significant majority of both Republicans and Democrats, conservatives opponents were so unhappy in the aftermath that they shut down House votes for a few days, stalling the entire GOP agenda.
Shortly thereafter, McCarthy argued the numbers he negotiated with the White House amounted to a cap and “you can always do less.” GOP Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, followed that she would seek to limit nondefense spending at 2022 budget levels, saying the debt agreement “set a top-line spending cap — a ceiling, not a floor.”
The decision to cut spending below levels in the the debt ceiling deal helped get the House moving again, but put them on a collision course with the Senate, where the spending bills hew much closer to the agreement.
“What the House has done is they essentially tore up that agreement as soon as it was signed,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “And so we are in for a bumpy ride.”
Even as House Republicans have been moving their spending bills out of committee on party-line votes, the key committee in the Senate has been operating in a bipartisan fashion, drafting spending bills with sometimes unanimous support.
“The way to make this work is do it in a bipartisan way like we are doing in the Senate. If you do it in a partisan way, you’re heading to a shutdown. And I am really worried that that’s where the House Republicans are headed,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters this week.
McCarthy countered that people had the same doubts about whether House Republicans and the White House could reach an agreement to pass a debt ceiling extension and avoid a default.
“We’ve got ‘til Sept. 30. I think we can get this all done,” McCarthy said.
In a subsequent press conference, McCarthy said he had just met with Schumer to talk about the road ahead on an array of bills, including the spending bills.
“I don’t want the government to shut down,” McCarthy said. “I want to find that we can find common ground.”
In all, there are 12 spending bills. The House has passed one so far, and moved others out of committee. The Senate has passed none, though it has advanced all 12 out of committee, something that hasn’t happened since 2018.
Still, the difficulty ahead was evident on the House side, where Republicans gave up until after the recess on trying to pass a spending measure to fund federal agriculture and rural programs and the Food and Drug Administration, amid disagreements over its contents. They began their August recess a day early instead of holding votes Friday.
Simpson said some of his Republican colleagues don’t want to take money approved already outside the appropriations process to cover some of this year’s spending and avoid deeper cuts. For example, the House bills would take almost all of the money approved last year for the Internal Revenue Service in Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act and use the savings to avoid deeper spending cuts elsewhere.
Simpson said that without such rescissions, as they are called in Washington, he couldn’t vote for the agriculture spending bill because the cuts “would have just been devastating.”
“That’s the challenge we’re going to have when we get back in September,” he said.
Further complicating things in the House, a few Republicans are opposed to some of the policy riders being included in the spending bills. For example, the agriculture spending bill would reverse the FDA’s decision to allow abortion pills to be dispensed in certified pharmacies, instead of only by prescribers in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices.
“I had a problem with abortion being put inside an ag bill,” said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. “I think that’s ridiculous.”
It’s a strong possibility that Congress will have to pass a stopgap spending bill before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. The Senate can vote first on the measure, which would put the onus on House Republicans to bring it up for a vote or allow for a shutdown.

SWOYERSVILLE — Wing lovers flocked to Swoyersville’s Roosevelt Softball Field on Saturday to taste-test the area’s finest chicken wing offerings during the borough’s first Wing Fling event.
Dozens of food vendors lined the field boasting their finest wings, pizzas, stromboli, desserts, and more — all competing to be named the winner of one of six wing-tasting categories: best dry rub, best bites, best traditional mild, best traditional hot, best overall sauce, best non-chicken wing item, and people’s choice.
A panel of five judges judged the wing-tasting competition, with only the people’s choice category judged by the public.
“This valley is flooded with great places to eat chicken wings,” said Jeffrey Lewis, who runs the NEPA Chicken Wing Bulletin Facebook Page and helped organize Saturday’s event.
“All the way from your mainstream places to your corner dive bars that you would never go into, but when you go into them, they have the best wings ever — the best food ever, period,” he added.
Lewis brought the idea to host a chicken wing festival to the Swoyersville Parks and Recreation Board in an effort to both bring the community together to celebrate local cuisine, but also to give back to Swoyersville parks.
“We want to make sure the parks are good for the town,” Lewis said, adding that all proceeds raised from vendor applications and event t-shirt sales will go directly towards improving the town’s parks.
And, after nine months of organizing, Lewis said the event was better than he could have hoped.
“It’s lived up to my expectations and more. I barely slept last night with anxiety just hoping everything went smooth, and it’s turned out better than I could have expected,” he said.
By 1 p.m., just two hours into the event, over 600 people had walked through the field grounds — an impressive feat considering this year marked the inauguration for the event.
“We were kind of skeptical,” said Brianna Keeler of Swoyersville, who sat as one of five judges for the wing-tasting competition.
“There are so many events in the summer, so you really never know what the turnout is going to be,” she said.
To Keeler, the large turnout is enough to place Swoyersville on the map — the food map, that is.
“I think much like the other towns have the kielbasa and the pierogis, Swoyersville is now going to be known for the wings,” she said.
Attendees milled amongst the food vendor trucks, most with large lines of eager customers waiting to taste-test something new.
Such is the case for Danielle Dane of Wilkes-Barre, who waited in a vendor line while taste-testing a smoked bacon-wrapped kielbasa.
The wings brought her out, she said, and she was glad she did.
“We were excited not knowing what to expect from the first year of it, but we’re definitely glad that we came,” Dane said.
On the vendor side of things, Artisan’s Fire owner Barton Weidlich couldn’t help but be glad he took a chance on the event.
“I came out to today’s event because I thought it was going to be unique,” he said, while a line of hungry customers looked on to watch him man a wood-fired oven full of pizzas.
“It’s the first time out of the gate, and look at this — look at the crowd,” he added.
His mobile wood-fired specialties truck even offered a new addition to the menu just for the event: chicken and waffle wood-fired pizza.
As the event continued on and more folks began to file in, not a soul was left hungry at the Roosevelt Softball Field.

WASHINGTON — It’s a stunning new allegation in an already serious case: Former President Donald Trump sought to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation into his handling of classified documents.
The latest criminal charges unsealed Thursday deepen Trump’s legal jeopardy, alleging a more central role for the former president than previously known in a cover-up that prosecutors say was meant to prevent them from recovering top-secret documents he took with him after he left the White House. Coming as Trump braces for possible additional indictments related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the new allegations strengthen special counsel Jack Smith’s already powerful case against Trump while undercutting potential defenses floated by the former president, experts say.
“Before these new charges, you could maybe try some sort of defense that ‘this was all a mistake, it was my staff’ or confusion about what documents he actually had,” said former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, a George Washington University law professor.
“But especially now, when you’re trying to destroy video footage,” he added, “that’s kind of the final nail in the coffin. I don’t see much in the way of a defense, not a real defense. All he can do is claim he’s being persecuted and hope for a holdout juror or something.”
Trump resorted to that familiar playbook on Friday, writing in a post on his Truth Social platform that “this is textbook Third World intimidation by rabid, lawless prosecutors.” He insisted during an interview with radio host John Fredericks that he did nothing wrong and accused prosecutors of trying to intimidate his staff into making up lies about him.
Later Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Mar-a-Lago security tapes were voluntarily handed over to prosecutors. Trump said he was told they were not “deleted in any way, shape or form.”
The new Florida charges came as a surprise given that Trump and his legal team have been focused on the prospect of an additional indictment in Washington — possibly within days — related to his efforts to cling to power after he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump received a letter this month informing him that he’s a target in that probe, and his lawyers met Thursday with special counsel Jack Smith’s office.
Hours after that meeting, Smith revealed the new classified documents case charges on top of a 38-count indictment issued last month against Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. The updated indictment includes a detailed chronology of phone conversations and other interactions between Trump, Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, in the days after the Justice Department last June drafted a subpoena for security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago.
Video from the home would ultimately become vital to the government’s case because, prosecutors said, it shows Nauta moving boxes in and out of a storage room — an act alleged to have been done at Trump’s direction and in an effort to hide records not only only from investigators but Trump’s own lawyers.
The day after a draft subpoena was sent to the Trump Organization, the indictment says, Trump called De Oliveira and spoke with him for about 24 minutes. Though the details of that conversation are not included in the indictment, De Oliveira is described by prosecutors as asking a Mar-a-Lago information technology staffer several days later how long the server retained footage for and is quoted as telling the employee that “the boss” wanted it deleted.
Lawyers for Nauta, who has pleaded not guilty, and De Oliveira declined to comment on the allegations. De Oliveira is expected to make his first court appearance in Miami on Monday.
To the extent that evidence of Trump’s involvement in trying to delete video is circumstantial rather than direct, it might present a challenge for prosecutors, said David Aaron, a former Justice Department national security prosecutor who has worked on cases involving the mishandling of classified documents.
But if they can tie the effort to Trump, he added, “it’s devastating in its own right, because it doesn’t matter at that point what he thought he had the right to do, or whatever other defense he’s going to have about the classified documents. That’s in and of itself very bad.”
It could also help prosecutors establish that Trump knew what he was doing was wrong because “you only delete video of what you’ve done if you think it’s going to get you in trouble,” Aaron said. And Trump’s own accusations against others, like his claims against Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the 2016 presidential race, could boomerang against him.
Trump has claimed that Clinton deleted emails from her private server for the purpose of obstructing a criminal investigation into her own handling of classified information — something the FBI and Justice Department never alleged — but now stands himself accused of scheming to delete evidence he feared would be incriminating.
“He has specifically criticized other public figures for deleting data when he says they thought they were going to be in trouble,” Aaron said. “So if you needed to prove his consciousness of guilt, it’s not just an obvious thing that you would ask the jury to rely on common sense for — he’s actually made statements about what it means when someone does this.”
Trump and Nauta are set for trial next May, though it’s not clear if that date will hold.
Smith’s team also added a new count of willful retention of national defense information related to a classified document about a Pentagon plan of attack on a foreign country prosecutors say Trump showed off during a July 2021 meeting at his Bedminster, New Jersey resort.
That charge comes after Trump repeatedly claimed he didn’t have any secret documents when he spoke, only magazine and newspaper clippings, even though an audio recording captured him saying “this is secret information.” The document was returned to the government in January 2022, months before the subpoena for classified records.
It’s not clear why prosecutors moved now to indict another one of Trump’s underlings, though bringing charges against De Oliveira that could carry significant prison time adds serious pressure on him, potentially increasing the odds that he could decide to cut a plea deal and cooperate.
“But, you know, Trump seems to inspire a lot of loyalty, at least in some people,” Eliason said. “Maybe they are holding out for the idea that he is reelected and he can pardon them.”

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday signed a law moving the official Christmas Day holiday to Dec. 25 from Jan. 7, the day when the Russian Orthodox Church observes it.
The explanatory note attached to the law said its goal is to “abandon the Russian heritage,” including that of “imposing the celebration of Christmas” on Jan. 7. It cited Ukrainians’ “relentless, successful struggle for their identity” and “the desire of all Ukrainians to live their lives with their own traditions, holidays,” fueled by Russia’s 17-month-old aggression against the country.
Last year, some Ukrainians already observed Christmas on Dec. 25, in a gesture that represented separation from Russia, its culture and religious traditions.
The law also moves the Day of Ukrainian Statehood to July 15 from July 28, and the Day of Defenders of Ukraine to Oct. 1 from Oct. 14.
The Russian Orthodox Church, which claims sovereignty over Orthodoxy in Ukraine, and some other Eastern Orthodox churches continue to use the ancient Julian calendar. Christmas falls 13 days later on that calendar, or Jan. 7, than it does on the Gregorian calendar used by most church and secular groups.
The Catholic Church first adopted the modern, more astronomically precise Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. Protestants and some Orthodox churches have since aligned their own calendars for the purpose of calculating Christmas and Easter.
Ukraine’s religious landscape has fractured for years. There are two branches of Orthodox Christianity in the country, one aligned with the Russian church, even as it enjoys broad autonomy, the other completely independent of it. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the branch that is separate from the Russian church, announced earlier this year that it was switching to the Revised Julian calendar, which marks Christmas on Dec. 25.
Its leadership last year allowed believers to celebrate the holiday on Dec. 25.
Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti reported on Saturday that the rival Orthodox Church, which is aligned with the Russian Orthodox Church, vowed to continue observing Christmas on Jan. 7.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Saturday that the move “is a sign of something that has been happening for centuries” and that “has to do with the relations between the Catholic church and the Orthodox one.”
Zelenskyy on Saturday traveled to the war-torn Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, which Russia has illegally annexed, but only partially occupies, and met with members of the country’s Special Operation Forces. Zelenskyy noted in an online statement that Saturday marks their official day of recognition and also the anniversary of the deadly attack on the Olenivka prison in the Russian-held part of the region in which dozens of prisoners of war were killed.
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of the attack, with both sides saying that the assault was premeditated in a bid to cover up atrocities. A United Nations fact-finding mission requested by Russia and Ukraine was sent to investigate the killings, but the team was disbanded in January 2023 due to security concerns.
Zelenskyy described the attack as one of Russia’s “most vile and cruel crimes” in a video statement Saturday.
In a separate Telegram statement, he hailed the soldiers in the Donetsk region for “bringing closer the day when all our land and all our people will be free from the occupiers” and underscored the Special Operations Forces’ role in the recent retaking of the village of Staromaiorske in the area.
His visit to the east comes just days after Western and Russian officials said that Kyiv’s forces intensified attacks in the southeast of the country as part of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
Putin said Saturday that the intensity of Ukrainian atacks along the front line has gone down “compared to two days ago.” He reiterated that Russian forces are successfully repelling all attacks and in some parts of the front line are even mounting successful counteroffensive operations.

A few Sundays ago, I drove out to Melody Park, or should I say what once was Melody Park.
It’s closed now and pretty much overgrown with trees and grass, leaving it difficult to see what once was.
The attached photo shows Melody Park, or what’s left of it. The swimming hole is there. The pavilions are gone. The clay basketball/volleyball courts and grassy fields are gone.
But the memories — lots of memories — remain.
So yes, I hopped in the Way Back Machine and returned to the Melody Park of the 1960s when it was filled with kids and adults and fun and the aroma of hot dogs and hamburgs on the grill, kids splashing in the swimming hole and that unforgettable sound of an egg cracking open in your bare hands.
Every weekend, we would leave our unlocked homes and head out Demunds Road to Charlie Flynn’s Melody Park. Charlie would be at the dirt road entrance, smiling ear-to-ear as he personally welcomed carloads of parents and children to his slice of paradise.
We all found great joy in places like Melody Park, North Lake, Sylvan Lake, Lake Silkworth and Harveys Lake back in the day.
Plymouth Little League would hold its annual Summer Outing at Melody Park and it was always a fun-filled day-long good time. Every time I saw Melody Park back then, I had the same reaction. It was a grand site — sheltered pavilions, a large swimming hole, basketball courts of clay, a big grassy baseball field, swings, teeter totters and kids everywhere.
We would park the car next to the pavilion and unload everything. The early arrivals were already setting up, getting tablecloths on the wooden tables and charcoal grills were already flaming, providing the best hot dogs and hamburgs you would ever taste.
All my buddies were there and we would gather to decide what we were going to do first. That was usually a quick swim, followed by a baseball game in the field, then basketball.
Of course, we took several breaks to eat. Everything was homemade and delicious. I think I had my first deviled egg at these picnics.
Every year at the Little League, we couldn’t wait for the egg-tossing contest. We would stand facing each other, and one was given a raw egg. The contest began with handing the egg to your partner, then both would take a step back. After each toss, another step back and you kept going. As the distance widened, eggs would be dropped or smashed in one’s hand, with some unlucky kid getting some egg splattered on their face.
The contest would go until the last two egg-catchers were standing. The trick was to cup your hands and get under the egg and catch it as you pulled your hands back.
As teams were eliminated, the kids would jump in the water to wash the egg off their hands, faces or feet. One thing for sure, it was fun.
It was a day we never wanted to see end. In the late afternoon, the adults would play cards — the men played poker, and the women played pinochle. Kids would go play more baseball or basketball or go for a walk in the woods. There was always something to do.
So I had to take another ride out to Melody Park. The old swimming hole is all but gone. The pavilions aren’t there either. The area where the basketball court was — site of the egg-throwing contest — is also grown in, as is the old baseball field.
Those good old days are fondly recalled because Melody Park and Sylvan Lake, North Lake, Lake Silkworth and Harveys Lake were our go-to places to cool off when temperatures rose to unusually high readings, as they have in recent days.
Nowadays, most of us remain indoors, basking in our air-conditioned homes. Back in the day, we had screens in our windows and doors and electric fans.
But back in the day, AC was just not the norm — air conditioning was rare in most towns and sometimes we opted for other ways to beat the heat.
My buddies and I would head to a lake or creek or somebody’s above-ground pool to cool off, or we would sit in the shade of a large maple tree until the sun went down.
The water runs cool in those creeks and the trees are tall and they provide a lot of shade. So we would kick back, take off our sneakers and dip our feet into the cool creek water.
If we decided to head to a lake, we would ask the big kids in the neighborhood who drove to take us to a lake. We would get in the car, roll down the windows, blast the radio and head out.
And when transportation was not available, there was always our front porch — shaded by a huge maple tree and roll-down shades to keep the sun out.
We would gather there to talk, play games or take a nap.
The point is, we got through it. Sure, we had beads of sweat at times, but we managed.
The point is, we always remained cool, man.

Judge blocks Arkansas law allowing librarians to be criminally charged over ‘harmful’ materials
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court’s ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
“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,” Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be “reviewing the judge’s opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law.”
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge’s 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
“As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!” he said in an email.
“I’m relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS’ librarians has lifted,” he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is “thrilled” about the decision. She said enforcing this law “is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can.”
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state’s 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library’s decision to move children’s books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas’ restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

4 dead, 2 injured in separate aircraft accidents in Wisconsin, authorities say
OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Two people were killed and two others injured Saturday in a midair collision at an airport in Wisconsin. Authorities say a Rotorway 162F helicopter and an ELA Eclipse 10 gyrocopter collided shortly after noon local time at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. The aircraft belonged to individuals attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual fly-in convention in Oshkosh, but the association says they were not involved in the air show. The association said the two people who were injured were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident. Separately, a plane earlier Saturday crashed into Lake Winnebago near Oshkosh, killing two people, according to the sheriff’s office. | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/29/4-dead-2-injured-in-separate-aircraft-accidents-in-wisconsin-authorities-say/ | 2023-07-30T00:53:38 | 0 | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/29/4-dead-2-injured-in-separate-aircraft-accidents-in-wisconsin-authorities-say/ |

RICHMOND, Va. — Denny Hamlin is not offering any apologies for the move he made last weekend at Pocono that caused Kyle Larson to hit the wall and let Hamlin sail on to victory.
Truth be told, it’s what NASCAR was hoping to see more of when it established the system that divides races into three stages, rewards drivers with points for doing well in those stages and allows them to accrue playoff points, Hamlin said.
“That is what it was geared to do — give us the sense of urgency to ramp up and that regular season performance matters to get to the final four with a shot,” he said at Richmond Raceway. “The system is doing what it was designed to do.”
Hamlin also has changed, he said, after getting spun several times while leading.
“If you have one person willing to be aggressive and one person not, aggressive will win every time,” he said.
Larson, who said things are “fine” between he and Hamlin after they exchanged text messages Friday night, agreed that the point system encourages the aggressive approach Hamlin took, but added that it “makes the guys on the receiving end more mad as well just because of what’s at stake and what’s taken.”
Larson said four or five restart battles with Kyle Busch at World Wide Technology Raceway in June showed how cleanly he tries to race other drivers.
“I respect Kyle and that’s why I raced him with respect at Gateway, and I respect Denny every bit as much, if not more, or I did,” he said.
“I tend to blow things over pretty quickly,” Larson said. “This time, I probably have let it linger on my attitude a little bit this week just because it’s happened more often with him than any other driver in my career and also a win was taken.”
Larson won the first Richmond race this season in April.
POINTS RACE
William Byron has dropped 30 points behind Martin Truex Jr. in the points race with five races remaining before the playoffs begin. The regular season champion gets a 15-point bonus, but Byron doesn’t expect to make any changes to the way he’s racing while trying to secure that top spot and bonus.
“It’s really important but we can’t get too focused on the result of the regular season points,” he said. “We obviously want those points, but our process has been like it is to this point, and if we start focusing on that carrot out in front of us too much, it’s going to get us off-track.”
CHASING SPEED
Chase Elliott said Richmond is “such a weird place” where his car never feels good, but he was pleased to make the second round of qualifying. He’ll start fourth.
“Any position you can gain is good ahead of 10th,” Elliott said. “I also know this is a place where you can qualify really good and be really bad.”
Elliott missed six races with an injury and another while serving a suspension. He hasn’t won yet and likely will need to win to make the playoffs. He’s 21st in points.
“There’s a few guys that I feel like have been consistently good at this track and the rest of us are kind of hit or miss,” Elliott said. “Hopefully we can hit it tomorrow and just put together a solid day, try to get some stage points and just get up in the mix.”
HEAT CHECK
The temperature was near 100 degrees when the cars went out for qualifying, and the heat index made it feel even hotter. It’s expected to be about 90 on Sunday.
“There’s less grip and more emphasis on tire management,” Brad Keselowski said. “It will be a different race here than it was in the spring, for sure.”
ODDS AND ENDS
Truex and Larson are the betting favorites Sunday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Doctor: What I didn’t know until I got skin cancer
Opinion by Susannah Hills
(CNN) — As a practicing physician, my life revolves around caring for my patients, helping them stay healthy, educating them about diseases and picking up on the signs of health concerns that need to be addressed. A few weeks ago, however, it became painfully obvious that I had missed the signs of my own major health issue.
To my surprise, I was diagnosed with skin cancer on my scalp. The diagnosis of basal cell cancer, and the fact that I ignored it for so long, have really made me pause to reflect on my own health habits and some common misconceptions about skin cancer.
For over a year, I thought I had an irregular patch of skin behind my left ear. It was covered by my hair, so it was easy to ignore. I watched this skin peel and scab. I thought it was eczema, which I have had for many years, put hydrocortisone didn’t help. I finally went to the dermatologist, much later than I should have considering my medical background, and I had a biopsy. Basal cell cancer. Another was found on my neck right after that.
I was bewildered. I thought I had been protecting myself from sun exposure so carefully. I spend most of my waking hours indoors at the hospital and still I wear sunscreen every day. I hardly have time for sunbathing and on those rare occasions when I’m in the sun for an extended time, I try to cover up.
As it turns out, my skin cancer has probably been brewing for decades, the result of genetics and basking in the sun many years ago. Damage from the sun’s UV rays is cumulative, increasing the risk of cancer over time. Just five blistering sunburns among 15- to 20-year-olds can increase the risk of melanoma by 80% and two other skin cancers, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, by 68%, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention. So, I’m probably seeing effects of my early years at the beach now.
My mother also had multiple skin cancers, so my risk of getting one myself was significantly higher. When there is a family history of skin cancer, the risk of early-onset basal cell cancer is more than doubled, per the journal Cancer Epidemiology, the risk of squamous cell cancer is increased four-fold, according to the journal Dermatologic Surgery, and the risk of melanoma is increased by 74%, as reported in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Still, it seemed so strange to me that my skin cancer showed up on my scalp, underneath a covering of hair. Wouldn’t sun-exposed areas like my nose, forehead, or chin be more susceptible?
With a little research, I discovered that 13% of skin cancers involve the scalp, according to an article in the Journal of the German Society of Dermatology. Skin cancer can show up in all kinds of unusual spots — the eyelids, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. And with the popularity of gel manicures, which use direct UV light to the hands and nails, there is increasing risk of skin cancers in the cuticles and beneath the nails.
Skin cancers can also happen in all types of skin. Malignancies are far more common in light complexions, but cancer of skin with darker pigmentation is often caught later, with higher mortality rates. Everyone is at risk.
Now more than ever, developing good sun protection habits is so important because the risk of developing skin cancer is escalating at an alarming rate. It is estimated by the American Academy of Dermatology that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and rates of nonmelanoma skin cancer have increased 33% across the globe since 2007, according to JCO Global Oncology. Many experts attribute this trend to factors such as climate change, global warming and increased exposure to harmful UV rays. Despite this mounting risk, our efforts in skin cancer prevention and early detection are woefully inadequate, with too many people failing to get regular skin exams.
It is up to each of us to develop good sun protection habits early and to learn when to seek medical care for unusual skin changes. Irregularities like changes in color, irregular borders of moles and freckles, skin wounds that don’t seem to heal and areas of chronic peeling or scabbing should never be ignored. An exam should be done every year to monitor unusual skin changes, or if you are at higher risk for developing skin cancer.
This summer, protect yourself. Slather on that sunscreen, wear a hat and seek shade whenever possible. And that peculiar patch of skin you’ve been ignoring? Don’t put off getting it checked out any longer. I learned the hard way that anyone can get skin cancer and it can show up where you least expect. The earlier you catch it, the better your odds, so go see your doctor. I’m glad I did.

Same old story with aging politicians
Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf, CNN
(CNN) — Whenever a lawmaker who is advancing in years appears infirm or confused in public, or takes some time to convalesce, there are questions about their fitness for office.
This week, it’s Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, who froze and appeared confused during a Capitol Hill news conference Wednesday. After recovering off camera, McConnell returned to take questions and later left smiling, telling reporters that he was doing just fine and had just been “sandbagged” when he was unable to speak.
The freeze is not an isolated incident
Earlier this year, McConnell could not hear reporters at a different news conference. Plus, McConnell is known to have fallen at least three times in the past year, according to CNN’s Manu Raju.
He slipped on ice before a meeting in Finland.
He fell getting off a plane at Reagan National Airport in Washington.
His fall at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington led to a concussion and broken ribs that sidelined him for weeks.
A fall several years ago at home in Kentucky caused a shoulder fracture.
Writes Raju of the way McConnell walks on Capitol Hill:
McConnell, 81, was a survivor of polio as a child and has long walked with a slight limp. He walks on stairs one at a time, and at times rests his hand on an aide to assist him through the Capitol.
It’s notable that fellow Republicans are not concerned about McConnell’s ability to continue to do his job. At least not openly.
On Friday, McConnell’s office said in a statement that he plans to serve the rest of the 118th Congress as the GOP leader. It didn’t address his plans in the next Congress, which begins in 2025.
And regarding Feinstein
Democrats have increasingly turned on Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who at 90 is a shadow of the imposing figure she once cut on Capitol Hill. A long absence while she recovered from shingles gummed up their ability to move judicial nominees and some legislation and led some of her California colleagues to call for her to step down.
At a hearing Thursday, she had to be prodded, repeatedly, by fellow Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, to vote “aye” on a procedural vote.
Difficulties communicating are not exclusively the milieu of older lawmakers. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania won his seat despite suffering a stroke during last year’s campaign. He sought hospital care for depression this year. He now conducts interviews with the help of an iPad that transcribes questions in real time.
When is it not ageist to ask questions?
There’s an awkward gray area between legitimate questions about a person’s health and ageism.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley got some early attention for her presidential campaign when she suggested a mental competency test for politicians over 75.
It was ageist, constitutionally dubious and savvy politics all at the same time.
Democrats are perpetually on defense about President Joe Biden’s age and acuity. Republicans have turned attacks against Biden, 80, into an art form, with viral videos to highlight his frequent verbal miscues.
Haley’s proposal highlighted that these attacks on Biden occur without a whiff of irony that Republicans’ own current presidential primary frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, is 77.
That neither Haley nor any of the other much younger Republicans challenging Trump in the 2024 primary field have so far caught fire is an indication that voters, who often skew older than the general population, don’t seem to care. They like a young and exciting candidate like, say, Barack Obama. They also like an older candidate, like, say, Ronald Reagan or Biden.
What voters like most of all is what they know
The most powerful force in American politics isn’t age or ideas, but rather incumbency.
As CNN’s Harry Enten wrote, the most shocking result out of the 2022 midterms was not that Democrats held the Senate or that Republicans only narrowly captured the House. It was that every single Senate incumbent who ran won. Only one incumbent governor running for reelection lost.
Voters don’t mind older candidates
I tried and failed to find a comprehensive look at whether younger or older candidates generally win congressional elections. But CNN recently published an interesting look at which generations are serving as lawmakers.
Millennials are America’s largest generation by population, but they’re one of the smallest groups that make up Congress. That suggests baby boomers, despite reaching retirement age, are holding onto their seats.
Decades in office
McConnell’s age of 81 might seem old to the average American, but it’s far from out of the ordinary on Capitol Hill, where the average age for a sitting senator, 64, is eligible for Social Security.
McConnell has been a senator since 1985, which makes him the 12th longest-serving senator ever. He hasn’t said if he will run for reelection in 2026. The only other longer-serving senator is Sen. Charles Grassley, who is 89, and who won an eighth term last November.
Biden had more than 36 years logged as a senator when he left to become vice president in 2009. If he had stayed in the Senate, he’d now have a full half-century tenure and be about a year away from eclipsing West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd’s Senate record of 51 years, five months and 26 days.
Byrd died while in office in 2010, and for the final years of his time as senator, he was frequently absent or had to use double canes or a wheelchair.
Everyone may have to work longer in the future
American life expectancy, despite advances in medical care, was 77.4 in 2020. It has declined in recent years, and not just because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Researchers point to poor average diet, lack of universal health care and access to guns as factors that keep the Americans from living longer when compared with other countries.
But the dwindling financial security of retirement programs like Social Security and Medicare means that future generations will likely have to work longer. Their lawmakers will be right there with them.

Thunderstorms cause damage in DC area
By Gregory Clary, CNN
Washington (CNN) — Severe thunderstorms caused damage across the Washington, DC, region Saturday, with downed trees and power lines and suspended service on parts of the Metro train system.
DC Fire EMS said on its Twitter account it is responding to multiple emergency calls for trees and wires down, and is prioritizing calls for trees on vehicles or structural damage.
The agency also said crews are responding to a vessel taking on water in the Potomac River, and boats adrift in the Georgetown area.
Across the country, more than 100 million people are under heat alerts, according to the National Weather Service. Most are set to expire Saturday night.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Agency has suspended service on a portion of the Red Line due to a downed tree, while other stations are being bypassed due to power outages, according to its Twitter feed.
The area’s utility provider, Pepco, reports some 64,000 power outages on its website.
In nearby Arlington County in Virginia, the fire department said on Twitter it is experiencing “significant increase in call volume” and responses would be delayed.
The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for portions of the area and warned of 80 mph winds.

Adidas clearing out more Yeezy shoes in second wave
Originally Published: 28 JUL 23 11:22 ET
By Parija Kavilanz, CNN
New York (CNN) — Adidas is releasing a second wave of Yeezy shoes into the market as it moves to clear out the inventory of its defunct collaboration with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
The sportswear company had been under pressure from investors to determine what to do with the merchandise after Adidas, in 2022, terminated its partnership with Ye because of his offensive and antisemitic remarks.
Adidas disclosed in May that it would sell the remaining Yeezy stock “and donate money to the organizations that are helping us and that was also hurt by Kanye’s statements.”
The company had previously said it expected to lose $1.3 billion in revenue this year because it was unable to sell the designer’s Yeezy clothing and shoes. But strong sales so far of leftover Yeezy inventory is helping it to recoup some of its losses, the company said.
The latest round of Yeezy product clearance following the May release of unsold merchandise will be made available to shoppers through August in the US and worldwide with Adidas committed to donating a “significant amount to selected organizations working to combat discrimination and hate, including racism and antisemitism.”
The merchandise includes 2022 products from the Yeezy brand that will be sold online only..

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.

FDA issues warnings to three companies for distributing e-cigarette products popular with young people
Originally Published: 27 JUL 23 18:37 ET
By Amanda Musa, CNN
(CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration issued warning letters Thursday to several distributors of e-cigarettes for selling and distributing unauthorized e-cigarette products that appeal to minors.
“All of the brands cited in these warning letters have been identified as being among the most popular e-cigarettes among U.S. youth,” the FDA said in a news release, such as Elf Bar/EB Design, Esco Bars and Puff Max.
The agency says the companies – ABS Distribution, EC Supply and Easy Wholesale – have distributed products that do not have marketing authorization, in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
“FDA is committed to keeping a finger on the pulse of the rapidly evolving e-cigarette landscape, including through a variety of scientific assets equipped to quickly identify products with high youth appeal,” Dr. Brian King, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said in the release.
Since January, the agency has issued 15 civil money penalties against manufacturers over the illegal sale of e-cigarettes, the agency says. New tobacco products must receive marketing authorization from the FDA before they can be sold; existing e-cigarette products have been allowed to remain on the market, but the agency has asked manufacturers to submit applications to keep them there. Only 23 tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products or devices have received FDA authorization so far.
The distributors have 15 days to respond to the FDA with steps they plan to take in correcting and preventing violations.
“We will monitor to ensure these violations are corrected, and if they are not, the recipient is at risk of further actions such as civil money penalties, seizures, and injunctions,” Ann Simoneau, director of the Office of Compliance and Enforcement within the Center for Tobacco Products, said in the release.
E-cigarettes contain high concentrations of nicotine, a highly addictive chemical that can harm adolescents’ brains in particular.
A recent CDC report highlighted that monthly e-cigarette unit sales surged 46.6% from January 2020 to December 2022: from 15.5 million to 22.7 million units.
Over 2.5 million middle and high school students have reported using e-cigarettes, according to the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

McDonald’s teases new CosMc’s restaurant concept
Originally Published: 27 JUL 23 08:04 ET
Updated: 27 JUL 23 16:11 ETBy Danielle Wiener-Bronner, CNN
New York (CNN) — McDonald’s is planning to test out a new restaurant idea, called “CosMc’s.”
CosMc’s is named for a little-known McDonald’s character. He is an alien.
“CosMc’s is a small format concept with all the DNA of McDonald’s but its own unique personality,” CEO Chris Kempczinski said during an analyst call discussing the company’s second-quarter financial results, adding that there will be more details to share during the company’s investor day at the end of this year. McDonald’s is planning to start testing the concept in a handful of locations next year.
McDonald’s has previously experimented with smaller restaurant concepts like McDonald’s Express, though it is unclear if CosMc’s will follow in those footsteps.
Lately, McDonald’s has had good luck with its characters — particularly Grimace, whose limited-time purple shake created a viral sensation on TikTok.
When McDonald’s introduced the shake in honor of Grimace’s birthday, it probably didn’t expect the item to go viral on TikTok quite like it did: With TikTokers showing themselves sipping the dessert drink and then, soon after, writhing in mock pain or playing dead.
But the mini horror films inspired people to buy shakes (if only to make more videos). And thanks to Grimace’s grim influence, sales in the second quarter spiked.
“This quarter, the theme is — well, if I’m being honest, the theme was Grimace,” said CEO Chris Kempczinski during an analyst call Thursday. “Grimace has been everywhere in the past few months … this viral phenomenon is yet another proof point of the power of marketing at McDonald’s today.”
Kempczinski added that the brand’s marketing efforts have led to higher food quality scores. “The more customers love our brand, the more they love our food,” he said.
In the United States, sales at McDonald’s locations open for at least 13 months jumped 10.3% in the quarter ending on June 30. Grimace’s birthday, and the kickoff date for the special meal and shake McDonald’s offered to celebrate, was on June 12. Globally, sales at restaurants open at least a year jumped 11.7%, thanks largely to growth in China, the company noted. Total sales rose 14% in the quarter.
In a statement discussing its second-quarter results, McDonald’ said that growth in the US could be attributed to “culturally relevant brand and marketing campaigns,” along with menu price increases as well as growth in delivery, among other things.
Grimace’s birthday “quickly became one of our most socially engaging campaigns of all time,” said CFO Ian Borden during the call, referring to it as “a true demonstration of how the power of our brand emerges in organic and creative ways in our fans.”
The campaign “contributed to the strong double-digit comparable sales growth for the quarter in the US,” he said.
When McDonald’s introduced the special products for Grimace in early June, it wasn’t all about the shake. The Grimace Birthday Meal also came with McNuggets or a Big Mac and fries. And as part of the celebration McDonald’s also launched a video game and Grimace merchandise.
“Grimace’s Birthday is all about paying homage to the amazing, fun moments we all share,” Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald’s USA, said in a statement about the occasion. “Grimace is the perfect lovable icon to have McDonald’s meet our fans at the intersection of nostalgia and culture.”
But in TikTok videos where people wish Grimace a happy birthday before sampling the shake, Grimace is not presented as a lovable icon. He seems more like a vengeful monster, a murderous … whatever Grimace is.
McDonald’s acknowledged the situation, in late June tweeting an image of Grimace and writing “meee pretending i don’t see the grimace shake trendd,” and later, when it was time for Grimace to return to Grimace Island, tweeted “u made me feel so specialll ty.”
The fast food chain is particularly adept at launching promotions that resonate with customers. McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea Market Box, aka the adult Happy Meal, performed so well in October that it lifted restaurant traffic in fast food overall, taking it from negative to positive, according to data from Placer.ai, which uses location data from mobile devices to estimate visits.
New restaurant concept coming
As it looks ahead, McDonald’s is planning new types of locations. There’s “CosMc’s,” and other opportunities for small-format stores.
Looking at its presence in the US more broadly, “our footprint reflects what the population looks like probably 20 or 30 years ago,” said Kempczinski. “There’s a number of places around the US where we are significantly underdeveloped relative to where the population exists today. That opens up for us a whole bunch of development opportunities for us to go after.”
As part of that, McDonald’s is looking at opening smaller format stores, ones that don’t need much space for on-premise dining, now that delivery is so popular. In the past, those options were essentially “off limits,” he said.
The plan comes at a time when consumers are nervous about spending.
“There is certainly concern with the US consumer that shows up in their sentiment, ” Kempczinski said during the call. But, he added, McDonald’s is still in a good spot.
“But our business, and particularly I think our value positioning in the market, has put us into a good position to be able to weather that.” The company has seen evidence of people trading down from full-service or fast casual restaurants into McDonald’s business, he said.

Mega Millions jackpot rises to $1.05 billion, with no top winner in Friday’s drawing
Originally Published: 29 JUL 23 02:49 ET
By Aya Elamroussi, CNN
(CNN) — The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to more than $1 billion after no winning ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night, the lottery said.
Friday night’s numbers were 5, 10, 28, 52, 63 and a Mega Ball of 18.
The estimated jackpot for the next drawing on Tuesday night – $1.05 billion – would equal the fourth-largest prize in Mega Millions’ history, the lottery said in a news release early Saturday.
A winner of Tuesday’s jackpot could chose to spread it in annual payments over 29 years, or take a lump-sum option of an estimated $527.9 million, the lottery said.
Although no one hit the jackpot Friday, some people scored big prizes.
One ticket sold in Pennsylvania won $5 million by matching the first five numbers and activating the optional Megaplier, which is available in most states with an extra $1 purchase.
Four other tickets won $1 million by matching the first five numbers without the Megaplier. Those tickets were sold in Arizona, California, New York and Pennsylvania.
The top Mega Millions jackpot to date was $1.537 billion won in South Carolina in 2018. It’s followed by a $1.348 billion ticket that was sold in Maine in January and a $1.337 billion prize last July.
Ranked No. 4 on Mega Millions’ list is a $1.05 billion prize won by a ticket sold in Michigan in 2021.
Last week, a Powerball ticket sold at a convenience store in Los Angeles matched all numbers to win a $1.08 billion prize – the third-largest Powerball jackpot.

Prosecutors in Bryan Kohberger case request court compel information on potential alibi
Originally Published: 28 JUL 23 07:59 ET
By Taylor Romine, CNN
(CNN) — Prosecutors in the case of Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in the fall, have filed a motion asking a judge to compel his defense team to share information about his potential alibi.
The state’s filing on Thursday came days after attorneys for Kohberger suggested he was not at the location where the crimes took place.
Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder in the November 13 deaths of 21-year-olds Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen; and 20-year-olds Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, who were fatally stabbed in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. A not guilty plea has been entered on his behalf, and his trial is set for October.
Prosecutors requested in their motion that the defense provide information on the specific place or places where Kohberger claims to have been during the time of the crimes, as well as the names and addresses of all witnesses they plan to use to establish an alibi.
“It is important to note that the scheduled October 2, 2023, jury trial is barely more than two (2) months away,” the court filing says. “If the Defense intends to rely on alibi, it is essential that they be required to provide prompt notice so the State can fulfill its obligations under Idaho Code $19-519(2) to investigate and respond to the Notice of Alibi. Any further delays will substantially prejudice the State’s rights.”
Prosecutors also requested the defense be required to provide the information within 10 days of a potential court order, according to the motion.
“Evidence corroborating Mr. Kohberger being at a location other than the King Road address will be disclosed pursuant to discovery and evidentiary rules as well as statutory requirements,” defense attorney Anne Taylor wrote in a court document filed Monday.
“It is anticipated this evidence may be offered by way of cross-examination of witnesses produced by the State as well as calling expert witnesses,” the filing stated.
Kohberger “stands firm” on his constitutional right to silence as well as to testify on his own behalf, his lawyers said.
The students’ killings rattled the small Idaho college town of Moscow and have been the focus of a lengthy investigation.
Kohberger, a graduate student from nearby Washington State University, was arrested seven weeks later at his parents’ house in Pennsylvania.
Defense files additional motions
Attorneys representing Kohberger filed two additional motions this week.
One requests a stay of the proceedings, claiming prosecutors failed to comply fully with Title 2 of the Idaho code, which governs requirements for convening trial juries or grand juries.
A sworn affidavit filed under seal in conjunction with the motion outlines the specifics of the allegations, according to the motion, but attorneys cite selection of jurors and jury questionnaires as issues of concern.
“Further, other irregularity exists within the grand jury process and further investigation is necessary to determine the impact, if any, in the convening of this grand jury,” the motion says.
Another motion filed at the same time on Tuesday seeks to dismiss the indictment against Kohberger, arguing “the Grand Jury was misled as to the standard of proof required for an indictment.”
Defense attorneys argue the Idaho state Constitution sets the standard of proof for a grand jury at beyond a reasonable doubt. But the grand jury in the case against Kohberger was given the lower standard required for an archaic process called a presentment, which requires a preliminary hearing. In turn, failing to properly instruct the grand jury is grounds for a dismissal of the indictment, the defense argues.
Idaho’s criminal procedure law defines a presentment as a formal statement by the grand jury indicating to the court a crime has been committed, and there are “reasonable grounds” that the person named in the presentment committed the crime.
In comparison, an indictment – under Idaho law – is a written accusation presented by the grand jury “charging a person with a public offense.”
Kohberger’s attorneys argue the indictment should either be dismissed or be treated as a presentment and have a preliminary hearing. They acknowledge in the motion that the “Defense recognizes that the whole of modern jurisprudence on this issue is against it.”
Due to a wide-ranging gag order, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and attorneys for victims’ families and witnesses are prohibited from saying anything publicly, aside from what is already in the public record.

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.

UFO whistleblower testimony ‘insulting’ and not credible, Pentagon officials say
By Nomaan Merchant and Tara Copp
A top Pentagon official has attacked this week's widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims "insulting" to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick's letter, published on his personal LinkedIn page and circulated Friday across social media, criticizes much of the testimony from a retired Air Force intelligence officer that energized believers in extraterrestrial life and produced headlines around the world.
Retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch testified Wednesday that the U.S. has concealed what he called a "multi-decade" program to collect and reverse-engineer "UAPs," or unidentified aerial phenomena, the official government term for UFOs.
Part of what the U.S. has recovered, Grusch testified, were non-human "biologics," which he said he had not seen but had learned about from "people with direct knowledge of the program."
A career intelligence officer, Kirkpatrick was named a year ago to lead the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, which was intended to centralize investigations into UAPs. The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies have been pushed by Congress in recent years to better investigate reports of devices flying at unusual speeds or trajectories as a national security concern.
Kirkpatrick wrote the letter Thursday and the Defense Department confirmed Friday that he posted it in a personal capacity. Kirkpatrick declined to comment on the letter Friday.
He writes in part, "I cannot let yesterday’s hearing pass without sharing how insulting it was to the officers of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community who chose to join AARO, many with not unreasonable anxieties about the career risks this would entail."
"They are truth-seekers, as am I," Kirkpatrick said. "But you certainly would not get that impression from yesterday’s hearing."
In a separate statement, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough denied other allegations made by Grusch before a House Oversight subcommittee.
The Pentagon "has no information that any individual has been harmed or killed as a result of providing information" about UFO objects, Gough said. Nor has the Pentagon discovered "any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently."
Kirkpatrick wrote, "AARO has yet to find any credible evidence to support the allegations of any reverse engineering program for non-human technology."
He had briefed reporters in December that the Pentagon was investigating "several hundreds" of new reports following a push to have pilots and others come forward with any sightings.
Kirkpatrick wrote in his letter that allegations of "retaliation, to include physical assault and hints of murder, are extraordinarily serious, which is why law enforcement is a critical member of the AARO team, specifically to address and take swift action should anyone come forward with such claims."
"Yet, contrary to assertions made in the hearing, the central source of those allegations has refused to speak with AARO," Kirkpatrick said. He did not explicitly name Grusch, who alleged he faced retaliation and declined to answer when a congressman asked him if anyone had been murdered to hide information about UFOs.
Messages left at a phone number and email address for Grusch were not returned Friday. | https://kion546.com/news/2023/07/29/ufo-whistleblower-testimony-insulting-and-not-credible-pentagon-officials-say/ | 2023-07-30T00:54:39 | 1 | https://kion546.com/news/2023/07/29/ufo-whistleblower-testimony-insulting-and-not-credible-pentagon-officials-say/ |
CALDWELL, Idaho — The Canyon Law Enforcement Foundation along with other agencies gave more than several kids the opportunity to get ready for the school year.
The annual back-to-school backpacks program is here and 50 students had the chance to spend 200 dollars on any needed supplies for the upcoming school year
Sheriff Donahue, with Canyon County Sheriff's Office, “The kids they’re really brought here by circumstance or interaction with our sheriff officers when they’re doing their daily jobs, they identified some kids that may need a little more help."
Sheriff Donahue says the event has been happening for a decade... giving kids the chance to not only shop for school but build relationships with law enforcement as well
Avila Roe is going to the fourth grade, her mom says they received an email just two days before the event, thanks to a submission from Avila’s teacher.
“I really just want to thank say thank you for my teacher Mrs. Halley for signing me up,” says Avila, “I’m not saying a lot but I kind of struggled a little bit in third grade and had a really hard time.”
Avila had the chance to get everything on her school supply list, from shoes, to markers, Kleenex and her favorite purchase of the trip, her backpack.
“I got these like smiley face ones that you know, and it came with headphones and a lunch box,” she says.
Towards the end of her shopping spree Avila was set for her first day of class, and her mother, Rachel Rubio, couldn’t be more grateful.
“It just makes me really happy that’s she going to go to school have her first day of school and she’s going to be able to feel like everyone else and that’s what we want for our kids.”
Along with the two hundred dollars three bikes were also given away to randomly selected youth who were a part of the event. | https://www.kivitv.com/news/law-enforcement-treats-local-youth-to-back-to-school-shopping | 2023-07-30T00:54:45 | 0 | https://www.kivitv.com/news/law-enforcement-treats-local-youth-to-back-to-school-shopping |

Albuquerque police (APD) were called shortly after that threat around 1:30 p.m.
An employee told APD a man had been watching the news and had made threats toward followers of Trump and believed the threat was aimed at people who work for the Republican Party.
APD said the incident is under investigation. | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/threat-called-into-republican-party-of-new-mexico-headquarters/ | 2023-07-30T00:54:45 | 0 | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/threat-called-into-republican-party-of-new-mexico-headquarters/ |
