The New York Mets traded eight-time All-Star Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers Saturday night in exchange for top prospect Luisangel Acuña after Scherzer agreed to the deal, according to multiple reports.
A tentative deal was struck earlier in the day, but it needed Scherzer's approval because he had a no-trade clause.
The Rangers are in first place in the AL West and have the third-best record in the American League. But the team's starting rotation lost Jacob deGrom to a season-ending injury. The addition of Scherzer provides rotation depth and gives the Rangers an experienced veteran down the stretch.

The Mets are in the midst of one of the most disappointing seasons in the majors. After owner Steve Cohen spent a record amount on the team's payroll during the offseason, New York sits in fourth place in the NL East.
DODGERS BOLSTER PITCHING STAFF, TRADE FOR LANCE LYNN AND RELIEVER JOE KELLY
The decision to move on from Scherzer could signal the beginning of the Mets' commitment to a wider sell-off.
The 39-year-old Scherzer has not been quite as formidable this year as he has been in recent years, giving up 23 home runs on the season. He has a 4.01 ERA and has struck out 121.
Scherzer is still considered a top of the rotation pitcher and should bolster the Rangers' staff.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner has worked through neck and back issues this year. A sticky substance violation resulted in a 10-game suspension for Scherzer in April.
Scherzer is in the second year of a three-year, $130 million contract he signed with New York.
Scherzer said he was disappointed the Mets decided to trade closer David Robertson to the Marlins in exchange for two young prospects.
"Disappointed. I mean, obviously. We put ourselves in this position," Scherzer told reporters. "We haven't played well enough as a team. I've had a hand in that for why we're in the position that we're at. Can't get mad at anybody but yourself, but it stinks."
The Mets host the Washington Nationals Saturday. The Rangers take on the Padres for the second game of a three-game series in San Diego. | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/mets-trade-max-scherzer-to-rangers-after-3-time-cy-young-winner-approves-deal-reports/article_b1b2b98b-d388-53c4-8273-e56d63653b57.html | 2023-07-30T02:39:36 | 0 | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/mets-trade-max-scherzer-to-rangers-after-3-time-cy-young-winner-approves-deal-reports/article_b1b2b98b-d388-53c4-8273-e56d63653b57.html |
Jason Myers is one of the hottest drivers lately at Bowman Gray Stadium, and he’s got the wins to prove it.
Myers has victories in the featured Modified Division in each of the past two weeks, and hopes to continue his streak on what will likely be the warmest night of the season on Saturday.
With temperatures topping out in the high 90s and oppressive humidity, it’ll be a challenge for drivers as well as the fans sitting in the sun before the first race at 8 p.m.
While Myers has found something with his car and his crew, his nephew, 14-year-old Slate, will get his first big test on the track. Slate, who is a son of Burt Myers, is expected to run in both of the 25 lap Modified races. Slate has been slowly getting his experience in practice and has a few start and parks, but he will be racing for real on Saturday night.

Slate is the first fourth-generation driver in the Modified Division.
There are just four weeks left in Bowman Gray’s 75th season, and points are getting more and more valuable.
The Sportsman Division will feature the Colors Edge 100, which will be the longest race of the night.
Here’s a rundown for Saturday:
- Colors Edge 100 Sportsman race
- Twin 25-lap races in the Modified Division
- One 20-lap Street Stock race
- One or two 15-lap races for the Stadium Stock Division
- Midway Mobile Storage Chain race
Tickets
- $12 adults, $2 ages 6-11, free ages 5 and under; available at stadium gates or on-line with advance purchase
- Parking is free.

New Orleans is known as one of the premier food destinations in the U.S., but running back Jaamal Williams issued a negative review for one of the city's delicacies.
Williams, who departed Detroit for New Orleans in March, told reporters his first experience with beignets drew comparisons to an ordinary funnel cake.
"Yeah, not impressed," Williams said at New Orleans Saints training camp Friday. "It's just a funnel cake."
Williams decided to leave the Lions after the team made a "disrespectful" contract offer.

"They been done with me. I could tell," Williams told reporters at his Saints introductory news conference in March.
"The offer they gave me I feel like was very just disrespectful and just showing that they really didn't want me to be there like that. But it's all love. I know my teammates, everybody there at the Detroit Lions have love for me and all that, but at the same time, it's just we couldn't come to terms on things. It's just funny is all."
SAINTS' MICHAEL THOMAS RIPS EVERYONE WHO WAS 'HATIN,' SHOWS OFF IMPRESSIVE WEIGHT ROOM SESSION
Williams is a California native and played college football at BYU. He is likely still adjusting to life in New Orleans but said in his home state the beignets would be considered run-of-the-mill funnel cakes.
"I'm sorry," Williams said. "I just got here. I respect y'all, your beignets, and all that. In California, we just call them funnel cakes."
The Packers selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2017 draft. After a four-year stint in Green Bay, Williams joined the Lions.
Last season, Williams shared the backfield with D'Andre Swift and scored an NFL-leading 17 rushing touchdowns. He will again likely share carries this season, but with Saints running back Alvin Kamara.
It remains unclear if the NFL will punish Kamara following an investigation of an alleged assault during last year's Pro Bowl in Las Vegas. Earlier this month, Kamara agreed to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of breach of peace for his alleged role, court records show.
The Lions signed former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery to a three-year contract earlier this offseason. He is likely expected to replace Williams' production in Detroit. | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/saints-jamaal-williams-compares-famous-new-orleans-beignets-to-funnel-cakes-yeah-not-impressed/article_66d46bbc-23ce-5449-927c-006c2cdf6bd7.html | 2023-07-30T02:39:43 | 0 | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/saints-jamaal-williams-compares-famous-new-orleans-beignets-to-funnel-cakes-yeah-not-impressed/article_66d46bbc-23ce-5449-927c-006c2cdf6bd7.html |
As Real Madrid took on FC Barcelona, 82,000 fans filled AT&T Stadium for a game some never imagined they’d witness this close to home.
“I’ve been planning to go to Spain to watch this game my whole life and now it’s home. Man, just I’m glad I’m here,” said FC Barcelona fan Mauricio Quintalla.
The arrival of the famed El Clasico match in DFW is part of the Soccer Champions Tour, an effort to bring European clubs to American soil thanks to Dallas-based investment firm Sixth Street.
Saturday’s crowds were just one sign of the sport’s growing popularity in North Texas.
“I think all over the U.S. it’s growing a lot, in my opinion, which is awesome because back in the day it wasn’t that popular,” said Daniel Rivera.
This weekend’s game comes as the Dallas Sports Commission said FIFA officials were in DFW taking a look at operations at AT&T Stadium ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
While the Commission expects to host eight games, confirmation will come this fall.

Saturday’s fans said they’ll support any initiative to bring more attention to the game they love, not just for themselves but for future generations.
“They’ll see their idols out there. They’ll see them playing,” said Quintanilla.
Hopefully, they said, giving this moment some real lasting power. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/as-82k-fans-pack-att-stadium-el-clasico-shows-signs-of-soccers-growing-popularity-in-dfw/3306082/ | 2023-07-30T02:39:47 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/as-82k-fans-pack-att-stadium-el-clasico-shows-signs-of-soccers-growing-popularity-in-dfw/3306082/ |

Wichita Falls Downtown Famer’s Market holds 12th annual Watermelon Fest
WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - The Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers Market celebrated their 12th annual watermelon fest on July 29.
The day was filled with fun events from vendors selling watermelon theme products, to contests that include seed spitting and watermelon eating.
Attendees were able to get free watermelon slices that were handed out by volunteers.
Watermelon Fest has been a huge success since its start back in 2012.
It can get exciting for vendors, especially for vendors taking part for the very first time.
“It’s exciting to kind of just see like the love, and just how much local people support your local businesses. So definitely, it’s exciting that’s the best way to put it. Just that everyone supporting you, you have like all these people you don’t even know, just kind of coming together,” owner of Krave Loaded Tea, Kayla Allei said.
The young business owner is looking forward to many markets to come.
And a family from Rush Spring, Oklahoma came to set up their booth for the first time today.
They brought around 100 watermelons, and by popular demand they were sold out by the afternoon.
“That’s what makes it fun you get to meet a lot of people, you know, you are giving them a product that you trust. And you know that they are going to enjoy and their family is going to enjoy, so that’s one of the great things about it. You’re selling something to people that they’re going to enjoy,” Pail Phipps from Phipps Family Farm said.
They plan on being at the farmers market again with as many watermelons as possible and said it was exciting for them to be part of this amazing event.
Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers Market was also taking donations to help them grow and develop.

The opportunistic Rangers, seeking an upgrade for their rotation, have finalized a deal with the New York Mets to acquire three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer.
Texas is sending 21-year-old middle-infield prospect Luisangel Acuña to the Mets in the deal.
Scherzer, who turned 39 on Thursday, had complained to reporters after his start Friday about the Mets’ direction following the trade of closer David Robertson to Miami earlier in the week.
“I’ve probably got to have a conversation with our front office,” Scherzer told reporters. “You traded our closer away. I’m sure a bunch of people are going to have to have a conversation with the front office. I have not had a conversation.”
There are complications involved in acquiring Scherzer. First, he has a full no-trade clause in his contract. Second, he has a player option for $43.3 million for 2024, which gives him, not the team, control over his future without a pre-arranged decision. The deal has been finalized, according to a report by The Athletic’s Will Sammon, but details about Scherzer’s contract beyond 2023 have not been widely reported.
That, however, is not owner Ray Davis’ concern. The concern: Protecting a two-game lead in the AL West as the pitching staff has bogged down in the absence of Jacob deGrom.
Scherzer has struggled this year to a 4.01 ERA in 107.2 innings over 19 starts. He has allowed an NL-high 23 home runs. Scherzer and Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux, however, have a strong relationship. Maddux was the Washington pitching coach in 2016-17; Scherzer won Cy Young Awards in both of those seasons.
Texas Rangers
Acuña is the third-ranked Rangers prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and the No. 71 prospect in baseball. The younger brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña, Luisangel was signed by the Rangers out of Venezuela in 2018 for $425,000. He’s hitting .315/.377/.453 at Double-A Frisco, a league where he’s much younger than his competition. But he’s a middle-infielder, his potential spot on the big league club blocked by two players who will be making over $60 million combined in 2024.

A storm system will approach and move through going into Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will be cooler than normal early in the week. As a system moves in Thursday into Friday, temperatures could get into the mid to upper 80s, but as it moves out cooler weather returns next Saturday. Tonight we will see some fog in the morning hours, and early in the day tomorrow. Temperatures will be in the mid 60s overnight.

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A North Carolina man’s long-lost 1967 Mustang coupe was found after being stolen 21 years ago.
Detectives in Guilford County, and the owner of the car, were also surprised to find the vehicle was still in decent shape.
“Twenty-one years. That is unbelievable,” David Tucker said.
The blue Mustang was Tucker’s dream car. He and his son even formed a bond during the boy’s childhood, riding together in the coupe.
“Riding in it with my son … he was in a car seat in the back,” Tucker said. “He finally got out of the car seat and was able to sit up front with me. Just riding around with him, and seeing the look on his face. That’s the best.”
In 2002, Tucker decided to sell the car. He left it sitting at a friend’s house in Oak Ridge, where it might have more visibility for potential buyers.
But somebody decided to just take it.
“I can’t even describe the sadness,” Tucker said. “That was like my baby, you know? A member of the family just got gone. I never thought I would see it again.”
For years, Tucker worked along with the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office to try to find it.
He checked in on his VIN number every year.
“The VIN number had been changed on it,” said Detective Sergeant Ryan Seals with the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. “The initial VIN number … came back to a vehicle that had already been scrapped.”
But a few weeks back, deputies said that VIN number eventually led to a crack in the case: The car was found states away in Florida — and only a little worse for wear.
In addition to a little bit of damage on the inside and outside, the car, too, had been painted white.
“It’s nowhere near what it used to be. It’s going to take some work,” Tucker said.
Tucker is currently trying to figure out how to get the car back to North Carolina.
“It means a lot, there was a lot of memories.” he said. “That was my dream car, and my son loved it. We rode in and all the time. So I’m just anxious to get it back and maybe get it back to where it was when it got stolen.”
Tucker is also working with DMV to get his title back. He says it could still take several weeks or even months to get his car back to North Carolina. | https://www.wfla.com/news/national/dream-car-mans-stolen-mustang-found-21-years-later/ | 2023-07-30T02:39:59 | 1 | https://www.wfla.com/news/national/dream-car-mans-stolen-mustang-found-21-years-later/ |

(NEXSTAR) — For many of us, flying is a relatively easy experience. Your flight leaves on time, your seatmates are polite, and you arrive at your destination safely.
But, in some cases, one of those aspects of flying may not go exactly as planned. You may find one of your fellow flyers committing an air travel faux pas: being barefoot.
You’ve seen the photos online of people’s toes peeking out between the seats. Maybe you’ve encountered it yourself. Either way, it’s largely frowned upon. In some cases, barefoot flying can even get you grounded.
Within its contract of carriage, United Airlines considers being barefoot, as well as being “not properly clothed,” an offense that justifies “refusal or removal of a passenger.” The carrier lists it as one of the many infractions that could impact safety for the passenger or others on the plane.
American Airlines says bare feet “aren’t allowed” from passengers, adding that “violent” or “inappropriate actions” could prevent you from boarding, being removed from the terminal, or facing legal prosecution.
Delta Airlines also warns that it can “refuse to transport or may remove passengers from its aircraft” if the passenger is barefoot. A barefoot passenger may be prohibited from boarding the plane, or may be forced to leave the plane, according to Spirit Airlines’ contract of carriage.
Frontier Airlines says it can refuse service to a passenger who is over the age of 3 and barefoot, “unless required to be barefoot for medical reasons.” Southwest Airlines and JetBlue state in their contracts of carriage that they can refuse to let a passenger fly if they are barefoot and older than five years of age, unless required due to a disability.
If these warnings from airlines aren’t enough to sway you from taking off your shoes while flying, maybe consider how many other people have also taken their shoes off on a plane – and what else has touched the floor.
“I would never fly barefoot on a plane,” a veteran flight attendant for a major carrier told Nexstar. “Passengers these days can be quite messy and we see everything from spills to dirty diapers thrown on the floor.”
Planes are tidied between flights, she explains, but the floors won’t be cleaned “unless there is a major mess.” That includes floors in the bathroom, too.
“That is most likely not water on the floor,” she adds. “Think of old men and young boys trying to aim in turbulence. Not good. Also, people love to throw trash anywhere but in the bathroom trash can so it usually ends up on the floor.”
If you still want to take your shoes off, she recommends bringing an old pair of socks to wear, then throwing them away after the flight.
United, American, Delta, Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, and Southwest did not respond to Nexstar’s request for comment or its inquiry into whether any passengers have been removed or barred from flying over being barefooted.
Barefoot flyers are likely among the least of many airlines’ concerns. Over the last three years, airlines have reported record-setting incidents of disruptive passengers. That includes passengers accused of assaulting flight crews, opening emergency doors, and refusing to wear masks during the height of the COVID pandemic.
More recently, a Las Vegas-bound flight was forced to divert to Denver after an apparent fight broke out between some passengers. Two women were escorted off the plane, according to a passenger that captured video of the incident.
Causing a disturbance on a plane is a federal crime, and unruly passengers can face criminal prosecution or even fines. | https://www.wfla.com/news/national/no-shoes-no-service-what-can-happen-if-you-fly-barefoot/ | 2023-07-30T02:40:05 | 1 | https://www.wfla.com/news/national/no-shoes-no-service-what-can-happen-if-you-fly-barefoot/ |

PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater rescued a 57-year-old man on Saturday after he became ill while diving 12 miles west of Egmont Key.
The man allegedly experienced symptoms of decompression sickness while diving from a 25-foot boat.
The crew aboard the MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter hoisted the diver and transported him to Tampa General Hospital for treatment.
“Within minutes of notification, an MH-60T crew was diverted to medically evacuate a distressed diver,” Lieutenant Commander Jason E. Maddux, Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60T Aircraft Commander said. “In under an hour, this gentleman was receiving critical treatment to save his life. This was a great example of how quickly the Coast Guard can respond to distress.”
The Coast Guard said that any mariners can carry a radio, EPIRB or PLB to communicate distress to watchstanders if an emergency situation arises while at sea. | https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/coast-guard-rescues-diver-with-decompression-sickness-near-egmont-key/ | 2023-07-30T02:40:11 | 1 | https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/coast-guard-rescues-diver-with-decompression-sickness-near-egmont-key/ |

OSHKOSH, Wis. — 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.

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:
Take a moment and think about the last thing you cooked. How much do you think the carrot in that recipe cost? And what about those three cups of vegetable broth? Beth Moncel could actually answer that question. She's the founder of budgetbytes.com, a recipe website for folks with small budgets. When she studied nutritional science in college, she learned a costing method that restaurants and cafeterias use, and you can use it at home, too.
BETH MONCEL: I suggest everyone try costing at least once because it's so eye-opening. It really does make you rethink the way you look at all of the ingredients that you're buying.
DETROW: Marielle Segarra, the host of NPR's Life Kit, talked to Moncel recently, and she is going to share some more about that technique, along with other tips for how to spend less on groceries.
MARIELLE SEGARRA, BYLINE: This technique, costing, means calculating the per-service cost of a recipe. So let's say you are making lentil bolognese. That's a recipe on Moncel's website. One ingredient is a carrot. You'd figure out the price of that carrot, add it to the cost of all the other ingredients in the recipe and then...
MONCEL: Divide it by the number of servings so you know how much each of your meals is costing.
SEGARRA: The lentil bolognese costs $1.40 per serving. Moncel says when you do this, you start to notice patterns, like some of the components are way cheaper than others. One carrot is $0.15. One cup of red lentils - $0.67. Half a cup of walnuts - $1.07. Moncel says once you know these things, you can tweak the ratios in your recipes to make them cheaper - like if she's making chili with ground beef.
MONCEL: So something that I like to do is reduce that ground beef by half, so I'm still getting that beefy flavor and that satisfying mouthfeel of, you know, actually eating beef. But then I bulk up the recipe with extra beans, maybe some lentils or maybe even some extra vegetables if I have them.
SEGARRA: Some other foods that tend to be cheap and substantive.
MONCEL: My favorite is cabbage. Cabbage is so versatile because it can go with so many different flavors, and there's a lot of different ways you can prepare it. And it's so filling. Don't forget about potatoes, onions, carrots. Even broccoli sometimes can be pretty inexpensive.
SEGARRA: On the flip side, ingredients that tend to be more expensive are meat, cheese, other dairy products and nuts. Another way to lower your monthly grocery bill is to make sure you're not wasting food. Moncel relies heavily on her freezer.
MONCEL: I often freeze leftover cheese. Leftover bread products freeze really well.
SEGARRA: If you can't freeze a leftover ingredient, try incorporating it into your menu for the next few days. Now, if you're one of those people who puts stuff in the freezer and then forgets that it's in there...
MONCEL: One way to stay on top of that is you can actually keep a list magnetized to the front of your freezer. And every time you put, like, a leftover ingredient in the freezer, you know, just write it down. Write the date on it. And then if you use it, cross it off your list.
SEGARRA: In terms of the actual grocery shopping, Moncel looks at circulars online before she heads to the store. She does that while she's making a meal plan so she can work in ingredients that are on sale. She says keep in mind, it's not always cheaper to buy in bulk. Also, think about whether you'll use that huge bag of flour before it goes bad. Lastly, if you're having a hard time paying for groceries, she suggests that you look up food banks in your area.
MONCEL: I think it's a really great resource that is often overlooked, or people think food banks are for people who only have no food. But really, it's like a bridge to help people through these tough times.
SEGARRA: Maybe you just need a couple of things to get you to your next paycheck. For NPR News, I'm Marielle Segarra. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

LOS ANGELES -- Bronny James plays piano in a video posted by his father, LeBron James, on Saturday, five days after the teenager went into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California.

Brittney Griner to miss 2 games to focus on mental health
The Phoenix Mercury WNBA team said on Saturday that All-Star center Brittney Griner would not travel for the team's next two games "to focus on her mental health."
Griner was released from a 10-month stretch in the Russian penal system in a prisoner swap last December.
What did Phoenix say?
Her Phoenix Mercury team issued a statement on Saturday saying Griner would not travel to Chicago and Indiana for games against the Sky and the Fever on Sunday and Tuesday.
"The Mercury fully support Brittney and we will continue to work together on a timeline for her return," the team said.
Griner has made an impressive return with the Mercury this season, averaging 18.2 points and 6.7 rebounds over 20 games.
But the team itself is struggling, winning six and losing 17 games, and fired coach Vanessa Nygaard earlier in the season. The Mercury are at risk of missing out on the playoffs without a strong second half of the regular season.
What happened to Griner in Russia?
Griner was arrested in Russia last February, accused of having vape cartridges containing cannabis oil on her person at Sheremetyevo International Airport, one of the four airports serving Moscow.
She used to play in Russia during the US off-season, a common practice for US women's basketball stars to supplement their income.
The arrest, which caused the 31-year-old to miss all of last season, took place just days before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Her preliminary detention was extended several times as the US lobbied first for consular access and then for her release, and as Russia postponed her trial.
At one point during the process, she issued a personal appeal to President Joe Biden, after saying setbacks arranging a meeting with her wife had shaken her faith in the US government's resolve to help.
She was eventually sentenced to 9 years in prison in August 2022, having pleaded guilty the previous month, telling the court she had not intended to pack vape cartridges that were illegal in Russia and that their inclusion in her luggage was accidental.
Her release was negotiated as part of a prisoner swap in December, which also included the release of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Her return both to the US in December and to the WNBA in May also drew major international attention, with US Vice President Kamala Harris attending her first game back with the Mercury.

Dutch authorities delay plan to tow burning cargo ship
Dutch authorities started preparing on Saturday to tow away a vehicle-packed cargo ship which has been burning for days off the country's coast.
The operation of moving the Fremantle Highway from the Dutch coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site for the aquatic and terrestrial species it hosts, and closer to the north of Schiermonnikoog island temporarily aims to avert an ecological disaster.
However, later on Saturday evening, authorities said the operation would likely be delayed by several days, having initially said they hoped to start over the weekend.
What do we know about the towing operation?
The decision to proceed with moving the ship comes after the flames eating at it have significantly subsided.
"The temperature on board the ship has dropped sharply and the intensity of the fire and smoke development has decreased," said the Rijkswaterstaat, the national water management agency, in a statement.
The agency added that the cargo ship was also stable, "still intact below the waterline and does not tilt."
Shortly before 10 p.m. the Rijswaterstraat issued an update saying that southwesterly winds meant it had decided it was not yet safe to start the operation.
It said that the current winds would "ensure that the smoke is drawn over the tugboat during the entire towing operation of the ship."
"So if the recovery company starts towing now, this is not without risks and the safety and health of the crew always comes first," the authority said, adding that it anticipated similar winds for the next few days.
Fears for an ecological disaster
Efforts to put down the fire for the past few days were carefully calculated, and water had to be used comparatively sparingly for fear of sinking the ship and consequently prompting an ecological disaster. The ship was carrying 3,783 cars, including 498 electric cars, its Japan-based charter company K Line said.
Authorities feared the car parts, batteries and fuel would damage the ecologically sensitive site and harm its inhabitants.
Ship owner Shoei Kisen Kaisha suggested the fire started on one of the electric vehicles, whose lithium-ion batteries can be very difficult to extinguish, and can spontaneously reignite, after they catch fire or explode. The actual cause of the fire has yet to be confirmed.
The towing operation is expected to take around 12 hours.
The fire killed one member of the all-Indian crew of the ship.

Drivers pose during Walmart’s Associate-to-Driver graduation ceremony in Sanger on Friday morning. The Associate-to-Driver program offers associates the opportunity to complete an extensive 12-week training program to earn their commercial driver’s license and drive for the Walmart Private Fleet upon completion of the program.
In the midst of a truck driver shortage last year, Walmart decided its own ranks of 1.6 million employees might want to learn how to drive a big rig for Walmart.
Walmart dangled first-year truck driver salaries of up to $110,000 and a 12-week training program for its Walmart and Sam’s Club store and warehouse workers. The first class with former retail employees graduated Friday from a training center in Walmart’s Sanger distribution center in Denton County.
One of them is Ashley Milacek, 35, who says her new job driving 18-wheelers will almost double her Walmart Supercenter salary.
“I was sitting at my computer when I saw the offer and I just had to jump on it,” Milacek. “I’m the first in my family to go down the trucker path. I never thought about being in this seat, but I wanted to put myself up to the challenge.”
Milacek has worked in the Gainesville Walmart since 2014, first in an overnight job and later in online grocery and pickup. She was a general merchandise manager when she decided to apply to be a “Walmart Private Fleet Driver.”
More than 70 Walmart employees are graduating this week from seven training centers set up across the U.S.
Milacek is one of nine Walmart employees who completed the program Friday in Sanger, the retailer’s only truck driver training center in Texas.
So far the program has produced 190 new drivers for Walmart, which employs 13,500 truck drivers. Graduates earn their commercial driver’s licenses. Walmart puts its students up in a hotel and transports them back and forth to the training center while they continue to be paid.
Women made up 8.1% of the trucking industry’s 3.54 million professional drivers last year, according to the American Trucking Associations. That’s an all-time high and the seventh straight annual increase.
The industry group says there’s still a shortage of nearly 78,000 truck drivers even though the worst of the pandemic and supply chain issues are history. Some say the industry has a high turnover rate that contributes to shortages. The driver shortages are worse in the longer-haul, for-hire truckload market and made worse by drivers who can’t pass a drug test, according to the association, which estimated that the shortage could surpass 160,000 in 2031.
Walmart has regional delivery territories that allow it to promise drivers that they will have consecutive days off and be home every week.
Fritz Keel, director of fleet development at Walmart who led the program’s curriculum design, said instead of caps and gowns, these graduates wear the official Walmart driver uniforms: a blue and white Walmart trucker hat and white shirts with the Walmart private fleet patch, and patches for their names, transportation region and the American flag.
Milacek’s mother especially was worried about safety issues, but Milacek said she shared the information with her family in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and “they’re super excited now.”
She’s also been hearing from curious former co-workers. “I tell them it’s a great opportunity and a phenomenal program,” she said.

Dallas business owner Satish Gupta and his wife, Yasmin, are helping the University of North Texas establish a career center at its new Frisco campus with a $3 million donation to the college.
From left, Yasmin and Satish Gupta, Chat Ganesh, director of the couple’s charitable foundation, and University of North Texas President Neal Smatresk pose for a photo. The Guptas donated $3 million for a career center at UNT at Frisco.
Dallas business owner Satish Gupta and his wife, Yasmin, are helping the University of North Texas establish a career center at its new Frisco campus with a $3 million donation to the college.
It’s the first endowed gift for the Collin County branch campus, which opened this year for classes. The donation also will support campus scholarships.
Satish Gupta is founder, president and CEO of SB International Inc., a privately held steel company based in Dallas. After earning an economics degree from India’s Loyola College, he came to the United States and completed an MBA in international trade from the University of Dallas. His wife also is a University of Dallas alum.
In 2005, the couple formed the Gupta Agarwal Charitable Foundation to support education, public health, medical research and cultural initiatives such as Dallas’ annual Diwali Mela festival of lights. Its donations include a $12 million gift in 2013 to the University of Dallas for construction of a new business school building that carries their names and a $5 million donation in 2019 to Baylor Scott and White’s heart hospital in Plano to fund research and education.
“Yasmin and I are honored to contribute to UNT at Frisco’s vision of fostering student success,” Satish Gupta said in a statement. “We believe that education should go beyond classrooms, and we’re proud that the Satish and Yasmin Gupta Career Center will represent our commitment to UNT students and help equip them with the necessary tools and experiences to excel in their chosen fields. ... We know that when you believe in yourself, your dreams will come true.”
UNT President Neal Smatresk said the career center will help the Frisco campus form connections between higher education and industry.
“With this visionary support, we can provide even more scholarships, cutting-edge programs and immersive learning opportunities for our students,” Smatresk said.
The Frisco campus sits on 100 acres donated by the city. A dedication ceremony is planned for Sept. 15 for the new career center.

Todd Hall can do it all — in the local art scene, that is. He teaches guitar classes, is an active member of the Denton Songwriters Guild and hosts weekly spoken word workshops at Bramblitt’s Yellow Dog Art Bar & Gallery.
The Tuesday evening spoken word workshop and Songwriters Guild meeting both took place at Yellow Dog, combining two creative writing projects. This reflects Hall’s advice to young writers to take in different art forms to inspire their writing.
“I really like the idea of each of the arts responding to each other,” Hall said. “Take in all the arts. And sciences, too. Everything. Take it in and then give it back.”
Yellow Dog is a perfect venue for these projects because owner John Bramblitt is focused on helping the local art community thrive.
“This town is really, really special,” Bramblitt said. “I hear about Austin. People talk about it being less funky, less weird. And I think, well, my goodness ... if that can happen to Austin, then it could happen to Denton. And we have to make sure that that doesn’t happen here.”
One group that supports Denton’s local creatives is the Songwriters Guild. Hall got involved with the group, which was founded in 2015, shortly after it started. Tuesday was the first time the group held its monthly meeting at Yellow Dog because its previous meeting venue, Killer’s Tacos, closed at the beginning of July.
Songwriters perform songs inspired by a certain theme at each monthly meeting. At the end of the meeting, the performers vote on the theme for next month.
Tuesday’s theme was “I Like Your Shoes,” which led to a wide variety of songs. DSG President and local musician Matt Grigsby said that sometimes the hardest thing about writing a song is simply beginning the writing process. These prompts provide a starting point.
“A phrase in my [unreleased song ‘Waiting for the Sun’] is ‘an empty piece of paper is a frightening thing,’” Grigsby said. “And it is, but once you get going, it’ll just roll out. So, sometimes, the hardest thing is just getting started.”
Hall’s writing workshop also helped aspiring writers find a place to start. At each weekly workshop, he employs a different method to inspire writing. On Tuesday, he used the “cut-up method,” in which a writer cuts words out of a book or magazine and rearranges them into an original piece.
“This is one way to lead you to a discovery or a surprise,” Hall said. “Once you have a bit of this text, look through and just find words or phrases that you like and cut those out. And then arrange them in a way that you find beautiful, and just paste those on a piece of paper. And that’s your first draft.”
Bramblitt has wanted to host a spoken word night at Yellow Dog for a while, so he was happy to meet Hall when he came into the bar one day. The two of them got to talking, and now the art bar has been hosting the spoken word event for about three weeks.
“When it comes to poetry [and] usually when it comes to painting, it’s not necessarily something that’s going to make you rich,” Bramblitt said. “But it’s something where, if you have a passion for it, you just have to do it. And you don’t feel whole unless you’re doing it. And it seems like Todd is one of those people where he wants to bring that out of other people as well.”
Hall also shares his passion for the arts by teaching guitar to people of all ages, even modifying his techniques to teach students with special needs. He said the arts are important not only for individuals, but also for any community as a whole.
“I just think, in general, that creative communities [and] art communities are important for any society,” Hall said. “Because they encourage us to keep looking, to keep thinking, to see possibility [and] to recognize diversity. ... I think it’s the arts that save us.”

If you have an aspiring singer in the house, it might be time to check out Denton Community Youth Choirs.
The new children’s choirs just wrapped up what founder, artistic and administrative director Dillon Downey considers a humdinger of an inaugural season.
Downey, who is a music specialist at Sandbrock Ranch Elementary School, said the first year was a test run of more than the four ambitious concerts the program performed during the 2022-23 year.
“It was a very productive, busy year,” he said.
Registration for the program, which is open to children in third through eighth grades, is open now and will stay open through August. New singers can register online.
Auditions are part of the program, but auditions are used to place singers, Downey said. All students who audition are accepted into the program. New singers don’t have to have choir experience to join. There are two choirs, with one dedicated to beginners.
“I’m really, really proud of our first season that we had,” Downey said. “We certainly all learned a lot; probably no one more than myself. We had an incredible group of kids, and I’m hoping that most of them or all of them will be returning this year because these kids did an exceptional job of not only learning music, but frankly learning a lot of music really well.”
Downey said the children’s choirs are as much about building community as they are about teaching children to sing together and listen to each other, and he said the first season was successful in building community.
“They did a great job of connecting with each other,” he said. “And these kids really developed deep relationships with each other. I’m talking about kids that had never met each other, don’t go to the same school, don’t do necessarily the same activities. But these kids formed these really meaningful relationships with each other, and that made it to where they wanted to come to rehearsal and wanted to sing together and wanted to make music together. And that was really powerful.”
The program ended its first season with the performance of a piece commissioned for the combined choirs by Texas Woman’s University music professor and composer Paul Thomas. Guest musicians visited to teach, and Downey said more guests are planned for the second season.
When Downey and the board founded the choir, the leadership set out to lower barriers to young singers as much as possible. Tuition is $360 for the year, with scholarships and payment plans available, too.
“Really, what we prioritize at the beginning and what we want to continue to prioritize is that any kid that wants to be there has a chance to be there,” Downey said. “That means that we provide support for students with disabilities. That means that we provide support — as much as we can — for students who don’t speak English or for whom English is their second language.”
Singers participate in retreats, and the program will host a “Spring Sing” event where choir members can invite their friends to sing with them.
Concerts are free, with donations accepted. The program also accepts donations and sponsorships, which help fund the choir and keep costs as low as possible. Downey said that community generosity has made the first year of the program a success.
“We really only can function because of the support of our sponsors,” Downey said. “Because that helps us to give access to all of our kids so they can take part in our program.”
The program has its 501(c)(3) status, and leadership will pursue grants as they become eligible.
“Our mission is to have any child who wants to join, sing and build a community with us to be able to do it as easily as they can,” Downey said.

When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits with an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, unleashing terrifying supernatural forces, in the eye-popping, nightmarish debut from filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou.
Circulating on social media are clips of an intoxicating but dangerous new high, one that looks like a fake viral video: Mia’s classmates sit clasping a white ceramic hand, eyes blacked out and convulsing as conjured spirits speak through their bodies. It’s supposed to be an insane rush (if it’s real, that is).
A24 and the horror genre go together like Ke Huy Quan and an Oscar. There’s a magic to the studio’s projects, which, more often than not, are helmed by artists who have the creative cinematic landscape to get as weird, wild and disturbing as they want. And for the super-talented Australian twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, it couldn’t be more true.
Talk to Me is dead set going to be the talk of the internet, and for a good reason. Masterfully crafted with sustained tension-building technique and a perfect storm of young on-screen talent, this terror is an absolute nerve cooker that breathes down the back of your neck with genuine, artfully done frights. It’s a daring game I’d be happy to play again and again.
Right out of the gate, it’s clear Talk to Me is special. It drops us into a terrifying reality of party games, viral videos and one wicked connection to the spirit world. And what is a horror movie without an opening scene to make you sweat and feel a certain tightness in your stomach? Trust me; it leaves a cold touch that lingers.
Our Interview with Directors Danny & Michael Philippou:
Warning: The following interview includes some mild language.
Talk to Me involves a group of teen friends (including Sophie Wilde, Joe Bird and Alexandra Jensen) who summon spirits using an ancient embalmed hand. All one needs to do to unlock the fun is strap yourself into a chair, light a candle, grab said hand and say, “talk to me.” From there, a random, often disgusting-looking spirit appears across from you (invisible to everyone else but the summoner).
Start the timer for 90 seconds and get ready to welcome the entity into your body as you go on an Urban Cowboy ride to reach a demonic, drug-like high. (Think Flatliners meets The Sixth Sense.) However, don’t slip past your suggested time, as it has proven to lead to brutal and bloody results.
Throughout the film, you can snap your finger and point, Leonardo DiCaprio style, at all the film’s influences, such as The Exorcist, The Shining, Hereditary and Get Out. You can also smell the teen spirit of ‘90s hangout horror like Urban Legend and Scream. And while these elements are detectable, Talk to Me remains its own beast that can flip the switch from fun and smiles to nightmares and oh-God-nos on a dime. Brace yourself for an ending that is truly one of the most excitingly original conclusions in some time. You can hear the air get sucked out of the room; it’s that good.
All the filmmaking departments of the film deserve a place in the spotlight. Aaron McLisky’s camera work feels simultaneously calculated and loose. Parts of the frame will embrace the haziness within the cerebral walls of its characters, highlighting a lack of control of what’s about to happen or is happening. But then other scenes will show smooth camera operation to show how there’s no stopping what’s coming. It’s effective and worth the price of admission alone.
Then, there are the wonderfully committed performances. I cannot imagine being in a headspace occupied by those from the other side. They’re not all Caspers; I’ll tell you that. Whether it’s the descent into hell that’s read on the summoners’ faces or this raw state of confusion after a horrible event (that’s equivalent to the infamous car scene from Hereditary), these characters nestle into your brain – especially Wilde, who is a talent to follow.
Talk to Me is a very well-accomplished feature debut from the Philippou brothers. It’s an exemplary mood piece that will be remembered and celebrated.
The film is now playing at the Alamo Drafthouse and Cinemark 14 in Denton.

Denton police took separate reports Thursday on a truck that went missing and a firearm that was stolen out of a different vehicle in the same apartment complex parking lot. Both owners said their vehicles were locked at the time of the thefts, according to police reports.
At about 7:18 a.m., police were dispatched to a theft call. The caller said his truck was missing from his apartment complex.
The caller said he had parked it in the parking lot before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. When he returned to the parking lot on Thursday morning, the truck was gone. He valued it at about $13,000.
He said he believes he locked the vehicle and he didn’t leave the keys inside it. He called the tow company that works for the apartment complex, and the company didn’t have his truck.
Officers took a report for theft of property between $2,500 and $30,000.
Later that day, at about 9:53 a.m., officers took another report over the phone for the same location. A woman and her boyfriend said her vehicle was burglarized.
They said they parked her vehicle at the complex around 10 p.m. Wednesday. When they returned to the parking lot at about 9 the next morning, they said the vehicle looked rummaged through. The woman had a $500 pistol in her glove box that was missing.
Both of them told officers they remembered locking the vehicle, so they weren’t sure how someone would’ve gotten into it.
Officers took a report for burglary of a vehicle and theft of firearm.
While Denton police spokesperson Amy Cunningham said the reports don’t explicitly mention that the incidents could be related, officers will review any security camera footage to check for suspects.
Other reports
800 block of West University Drive — A man reported Thursday that his credit cards went missing and have been used even though he placed them in a locked locker at a gym, according to a police report.
At about 3:42 p.m., officers took a theft report from a man who came into the department lobby. He said the theft happened when he was at the gym at about 3 p.m. Wednesday.
He told officers he placed his belongings in a locker and locked it. But after he was finished working out, he returned to the locker to find his things were gone.
Among the items were three credit cards and a car key. He said there was an unauthorized charge of $482 on one of the cards before he could cancel it. The other two cards had failed transaction attempts before he canceled them.
He said he wanted to press charges. Because the man is 68 years old, officers filed a report for elderly credit card or debit card abuse, a third-degree felony. They are also investigating the incident as theft of property between $100 and $750.
2900 block of Teasley Lane — A man reported Thursday that his wallet, which contained his credit cards and Social Security card, went missing from his workplace over the weekend, according to a police report.
At about 11:05 a.m., officers took a fraud and credit card abuse report over the phone. The caller said he left his backpack at his workplace in the business’s lobby on Friday afternoon.
When he came back to work Monday morning, his backpack, containing his wallet, was gone.
Then, he said he got a message on Wednesday that someone attempted to use one of his four cards that went missing. The transaction was declined because the wrong pin number was used.
He said he was able to cancel two other cards before there were any attempted uses. But on the fourth card, he received a message that the phone number associated with this account had been changed. He told officers that the only way to log into his account is with his Social Security number. He said he keeps his Social Security card in his wallet.
Officers are still investigating the incident as credit card or debit card abuse and fraudulent possession of identifying information.
Roundup
From 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Thursday, the Denton Police Department handled 395 service and officer-initiated calls and made 12 arrests.

A 27-year-old man with two warrants allegedly had methamphetamine and a gun inside a vehicle during his arrest, according to a Denton police report.
At about 2:57 a.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to the intersection of Lindsey Street and Fort Worth Drive as officers were notified there was a U-Haul truck with a trailer that didn’t have a license plate.
Officers stopped the vehicle in the 1200 block of Bernard Street. Officers said the man provided false identification, which they knew because they recognized him from a previous encounter.
Officers asked the man to exit the vehicle, and he was detained. The man eventually gave officers his real name.
The report says the man had two warrants for his arrest. One was out of the Denton County Sheriff’s Office, and the other was out of the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Officers search the vehicle and reported finding a silver canister containing methamphetamine.
The report also says officers found a gun between the center console and the driver’s seat.
Officers found credit cards and identification that did not belong to the man during a search at the Denton City Jail, according to reports.
The man was charged with failure to identify, fraudulent use/possession of identifying information, possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Other reports
1000 block of Dallas Drive — A 26-year-old man was charged with driving while drunk for the third time after crashing with another vehicle, according to a police report.
At about 1:50 p.m. Friday, officers responded to a crash that involved two vehicles. A witness said one of the involved vehicles was a pickup, and a man looked unconscious.
Another witness told officers she saw the pickup driving through ongoing traffic from the southbound lane of Dallas Drive into the northbound lane, where the suspect struck a vehicle.
Officers spoke with the 26-year-old driver, who told them he decided to drive across ongoing traffic to reach his destination.
Officers conducted a standardized field sobriety test that indicated intoxication, according to police reports. The man declined to provide a blood specimen and asked officers what would happen if he did not consent to a blood draw.
Officers told the man his license would be suspended if he declined to have his blood drawn.
The report says he told officers his license was already suspended.
At the jail, a warrant was approved to draw his blood, and officers learned the man had previous driving while intoxicated charges.
The man was charged with driving while intoxicated for the third time.

A jury found a Coppell man guilty of capital murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend and their unborn child in April 2021 in Denton.
Simeon Bonilla-Rubio, 24, was arrested on April 28, 2021, after he was involved in two vehicle crashes and fled the scene of the second one, leaving behind his 19-year-old girlfriend, Cassity Hinojosa, with gunshot wounds to the neck.
His charges were later upgraded to capital murder after an autopsy revealed Hinojosa was about 9 weeks pregnant with the couple’s child.
Jurors delivered the verdict at 5 p.m., about two hours after they began deliberation. 158th District Judge Steve Burgess sentenced Bonilla-Rubio to life without parole, as is mandated by the Texas Legislature.
In their deliberation, jurors were able to consider lesser charges or that Bonilla-Rubio could have shot Hinojosa out of necessity.
The prosecution included Sarah Woods and Michael Graves. Bonilla-Rubio was represented by defense attorneys Derek Adame and Caroline Simone.
Adame and Simone argued that Bonilla-Rubio was in fear for his life when he shot his girlfriend and that her actions necessitated that he must shoot her, killing her and their unborn child. They argued the evidence presented could suggest Hinojosa shot at him first.
Woods and Graves argued that Bonilla-Rubio acted knowingly and intentionally to kill his girlfriend and their unborn child. His actions were unreasonable, as even if Hinojosa threatened or shot at him, he got the gun away from her and could have defused the situation, the defense said.
April 28, 2021
Throughout the trial, the jury heard testimony that indicated the shooting occurred inside a vehicle with Hinojosa in the driver’s seat and Bonilla-Rubio in the passenger seat. The vehicle was in motion at the time. Testimony suggests Hinojosa was driving approximately 70 mph before the vehicle crashed, colliding with another vehicle.
State testimony indicates Hinojosa died almost instantly after she was shot three times in the neck.
When the vehicle crashed, a witness at the scene testified they saw Bonilla-Rubio exit the vehicle, lean into the passenger front door, drag Hinojosa by her hair across the center console, get in the driver’s seat and flee the scene.
Bryan Huscke, a Denton traffic enforcement officer, testified that the vehicle, now driven by Bonilla-Rubio, was traveling on northbound Interstate 35E at 111 mph before it crashed into the center median near 1200 North I-35E.
After the crash, testimony suggests Bonilla-Rubio crawled over his girlfriend’s body and exited through the passenger front door. He then took off running through nearby woods toward Avenue A.
Additionally, Denton officers found a Glock 27 handgun, three bullets and three spent cartridges inside the vehicle. Outside the vehicle, they found one spent cartridge but no additional bullet. A firearms expert testified all four spent cartridges and three bullets matched the gun. The gun had no malfunctions, the expert testified.
Bonilla-Rubio reached the 600 block of West Eagle Drive. There, he encountered a woman who testified that Bonilla-Rubio was bloody and asked for help. Testimony indicates he told her he got into a fight with a friend and wanted to go home to Dallas.
The woman testified that she ordered him an Uber to a family member’s home. She gave Denton officers the location of Bonilla-Rubio’s destination. They alerted Dallas officers, who found Bonilla-Rubio at the destination and arrested him.
Defendant’s testimony
Bonilla-Rubio claims Hinojosa got upset with him because she claimed he was cheating on her. He said an argument occurred at the apartment where they lived, in the 3200 block of Fallmeadow Street.
She then decided to drive to get food from a Whataburger drive-thru, and Bonilla-Rubio decided to go with her. He said Hinojosa brought up the cheating allegations again after they were heading home.
He testified Hinojosa started to yell at him, and he was trying to calm her down. He testified Hinojosa reached in the center console for a gun, and he feared she was going to shoot him.
Bonilla-Rubio testified he then grabbed the gun away from Hinojosa, and shot her multiple times while the vehicle was in motion. He said he doesn’t remember how many times he shot her since it happened so fast.
His defense has previously suggested that the fourth spent cartridge found outside the vehicle could’ve been from a bullet shot by Hinojosa.
He testified he doesn’t remember going 111 mph and crashing his vehicle on his way to a hospital to get Hinojosa treatment. Bonilla-Rubio testified that he ran into the woods because he was scared, nervous and did not trust police if he stayed at the scene.
Defendant’s cross-examination
As Woods was cross-examining Bonilla-Rubio, he testified that there were many other ways he could have eliminated the threat of Hinojosa shooting him. He testified that he had already successfully taken the gun away from her.
Woods asked Bonilla-Rubio if he thought it was reasonable to shoot her when she no longer had a gun. He said he thought it was more reasonable to shoot her than other options, like putting it on the floor, beside him or in the glove box.
He testified that he didn’t have enough time in the moment to consider what else to do with the gun besides shoot it because everything happened so fast. He said he didn’t intend to kill her when he shot the gun and he believed he could save her.
Bonilla-Rubio testified that he did not get out of the vehicle to move Hinojosa’s body. He said that she fell out of the driver’s side door and he was attempting to move her back in the vehicle. He said the witness’s testimony about moving her body was not true.
When Woods asked if Bonilla-Rubio went from getting the “woman he loved” to the hospital after the first crash to then abandoning her after the second crash and fleeing to Dallas, he said that was correct.
Woods asked Bonilla-Rubio if he thought he had life-saving information about Hinojosa and the unborn baby’s condition that would be useful to paramedics at the scene. He said yes. But upon questioning, he testified that he ran from the scene without speaking to paramedics.
Bonilla-Rubio testified that he lied to the woman who ordered him an Uber about why he had injuries and wanted to go to Dallas and never mentioned Hinojosa or his injuries to her or the Uber driver.
When Dallas police located Bonilla-Rubio, he testified that told them he “didn’t do s--t” and made up the name of a man who he said was involved in the shooting instead of him. Bonilla-Rubio testified he never mentioned that Hinojosa pointed a gun at him to anyone until his testimony Friday morning.
He also testified that he initially told officers he didn’t know Hinojosa.
Once Woods passed the questioning back to Adame, Bonilla-Rubio further testified that he didn’t previously tell police that Hinojosa pointed the gun at him. He said this was because he doesn’t trust the police, but he does trust the jury.
Woods asked Bonilla-Rubio to approach the jury and pointed out a tattoo under his right eye that depicts a .40 caliber Glock and a teardrop. Woods’ questioning suggested this was symbolic of him murdering someone. However, Bonilla-Rubio said that it symbolized a loved one who has passed, his baby.
When asked if Bonilla-Rubio had a teardrop tattoo to signify the death of Hinojosa, whom he testified that he loved, he said no.
Thursday’s evidence
Testimony from the day before indicated a DNA analysis expert could not determine whether Hinojosa had handled the gun or not. But a crime scene reconstruction expert said she thought it was unlikely Hinojosa shot the gun.
Forensic analyst Allison Conway tested the DNA profiles of blood present on various items found at the scene. Conway said she could determine that the blood DNA on Bonilla-Rubio’s clothes was extremely likely to be Hinojosa’s.
But the evidence swabbed from the slide and grip of the handgun was inconclusive, Conway said. While DNA was present, Conway said it was not of sufficient quantity or quality for her to conclude whose DNA was on these areas of the gun. The swab from the trigger, Conway testified, did not have any detectable DNA on it.
Upon cross-examining by Adame, Conway said that from the samples she tested, she couldn’t tell whether Hinojosa, Bonilla-Rubio, both or neither had touched the gun.
However, Ashleigh Berg, senior forensic investigator at the Denton County Sheriff’s Office, testified she thought it was unlikely that Hinojosa fired the gun before she was shot based on where she was sitting and where the bullets traveled.
Berg has extensive training in blood-spatter analysis and crime-scene reconstruction. Denton police contacted Berg to assist in the investigation.
Based on the blood- spatter evidence found in the vehicle and on Bonilla-Rubio’s clothing, Berg testified that the shots would have come from the passenger seat toward the driver’s seat. She testified that Hinojosa was in the driver’s seat because the blood spatter was concentrated to the right of where the driver was sitting, from the driver’s perspective. The blood on Bonilla-Rubio’s clothing was concentrated on his left side, which would have been to the right of the driver.
Three bullets traveled at an upward angle, entering below Hinojosa’s right ear, through her body, and exiting on the left side of her head. One of the three bullets grazed the back of her right earlobe, which Berg testified indicates that Hinojosa’s head was turned to her left, away from the handgun.
Two of the bullets exited her body and then penetrated the vehicle’s driver’s side B-pillar, to the back left of the driver’s seat. One of the three bullets exited her body and landed elsewhere in the vehicle.
A fourth spent casing was found outside the vehicle, indicating that another round was fired at some point in the vehicle. But investigators did not find the bullet at the scene. Prosecutors argued that the fourth cartridge could’ve been fired at any time prior to this incident, and it was possible Bonilla-Rubio knocked it out of the vehicle as he fled.
Adame, however, asked Berg whether it was possible that the fourth casing could have been the result of Hinojosa shooting the gun toward Bonilla-Rubio before he shot her. Berg said while it was possible, she would be surprised if that were the case because there was no damage to the car in the direction Hinojosa would’ve had to shoot for that to be true.
Adame suggested that it was possible the passenger window was open and the bullet traveled outside of the vehicle. Berg said that was a possibility.
Graves asked whether the passenger front window was rolled up when Berg saw the vehicle. She said yes. Graves suggested that with the rainy weather on April 28, 2021, it wasn’t likely the windows were down.
Adame suggested it was possible the windows were down at the time of the shooting and then rolled up when Berg saw the vehicle.
Bonilla-Rubio’s alleged statements
Two witnesses testified about what Bonilla-Rubio said to them about the shooting after his arrest.
One of the witnesses was Denton police Officer Thomas Scott. After Bonilla-Rubio was arrested and booked into the Denton City Jail, which is a temporary holding facility, Scott was tasked with transporting him to the Denton County Jail.
Scott said that while he was transporting Bonilla-Rubio, the inmate asked why he was there. Scott read off Bonilla-Rubio’s booking paperwork to him. Then, Scott said Bonilla-Rubio asked if he “made television.”
During Adame’s cross-examination, he asked Scott whether Bonilla-Rubio could have asked that not because he wanted notoriety from the shooting, but because he was concerned other inmates would learn of what he did and make false accusations against him.
Scott said there were all kinds of things you could assume from Bonilla-Rubio’s statement.
Adame’s question about snitching was in reference to the testimony of another witness, David Bentlage, a man who met Bonilla-Rubio in the county jail.
Bentlage has been in and out of the Denton County Jail roughly 26 times since 2004. He has been charged with an array of offenses, mostly financial crimes and drug crimes, but Bentlage said he would not describe his crimes as violent. Along with state offenses, he is also facing a federal charge of conspiracy to possess with the intent to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine.
The two men were in the county jail at the same time, and their bunks were near one another. Bentlage said they would sometimes talk over the divider between their bunks. One time, Bentlage said Bonilla-Rubio asked if he ever saw someone’s head get popped. Bentlage said he responded no and asked Bonilla-Rubio what he meant. Bentlage alleges Bonilla-Rubio said prosecutors were “trying to pin two bodies” on him.
Bentlage said he saw Bonilla-Rubio’s bond paperwork and saw a $1 million bail, then later saw his indictment and noticed the capital murder charge, he said. Bentlage said this made him curious and he asked Bonilla-Rubio about the shooting.
Bentlage alleged Bonilla-Rubio told him he was “with this chick” and she “got pregnant.” He alleged Bonilla-Rubio said that she wanted to break up with him, and that he planned to confront her, steal the car and sell it, but that wasn’t how it played out.
Bentlage said Bonilla-Rubio told him that he shot her, moved her body and fled. Bentlage said they didn’t discuss it after that because they were moved to different areas two days later.
He described Bonilla-Rubio’s recount of the shooting as emotionless and straightforward.
Simone pointed out in cross-examination a couple of inconsistencies in Bentlage’s testimony. She said Bonilla-Rubio never had a $1 million bond; it was actually $500,000. She also said Bentlage told prosecutors during a pretrial meeting that Bonilla-Rubio said “blown off,” not “popped off” someone’s head.
Questioning his motives, Simone asked Bentlage if it was his idea to come forward with the information. He said yes. She asked if he told detectives he was in a “tough spot,” and he said yes.
She asked if he had ever committed crimes that deceived others, and Bentlage said he had.
If Bentlage plays a significant role in helping prosecute another defendant, he could have his federal sentence reduced, but it’s not guaranteed, he said.
Bentlage said this wasn’t his motivation to testify. Instead, he said that at the time of his conversations with Bonilla-Rubio, his son’s mother was pregnant with another baby. He said he was motivated to testify because he would be upset if the mother of his child was shot and killed.
Victim impactAfter the jury delivered the guilty verdict, Hinojosa’s cousin gave a victim impact statement on behalf of her family.
The victim’s cousin said that while she doesn’t accept what Bonilla-Rubio did, she gives him her full forgiveness. Bonilla-Rubio’s actions will not control her or family, she said. Her family will do their best to raise Hinojosa’s young daughter.
She addressed Bonilla-Rubio’s family in the courtroom and told his mother that this was probably not how she raised him to be, saying this was no one’s fault but his.
Hinojosa’s cousin asked Bonilla-Rubio to look her in the eyes. But when he didn’t, she said she was at peace regardless.
“You are now just a number in the system,” she told him. “That’s all you’ll ever be.”

(KRON) — An 85-year-old man was struck and killed by a car Friday night at the intersection of Homestead Road and Maryann Drive in Santa Clara, according to police.
Just before 9 p.m., the man was walking in the crosswalk when a Toyota pickup truck, which was driving westbound on Homestead Road, struck him. Police and fire crews arrived at the scene and performed CPR, however the man was pronounced deceased, Santa Clara police said.
The driver of the Toyota, a 55-year-old resident of Cupertino, remained at the scene following the crash and cooperated with police. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in this incident, police said.
The victim’s identity is being withheld until next of kin is notified by the Santa Clara County Office of the Medical Examiner-Coroner.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Traffic Investigator Scott Wilson at (408) 615-4764. | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/85-year-old-man-struck-by-car-killed-in-santa-clara/ | 2023-07-30T02:45:01 | 1 | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/85-year-old-man-struck-by-car-killed-in-santa-clara/ |
DENVER — A svelte Russell Wilson smiled at the question.:
You going to take off and run more this fall?
“I’m trying to get moving for you,” he said slyly.
The 12th-year quarterback looked capable of doing just that as he started his second training camp with the Broncos, though any grand conclusions after one day in helmets can safely be avoided, just as Wilson sidestepped a question about how much weight he cut over the offseason.
“I don’t know, I’m just ready to play football. I’m not worried about the numbers on that,” he said. “I think the biggest thing for me is I feel great, feel confident in what I’m doing. Feel strong. Feel fast. Really worked on everything.”
A nine-time Pro Bowl selection with the Seahawks, Wilson regressed across the board in Denver. He threw a career-low 16 touchdowns on 60.5% completions last season. The Broncos lost 11 of the 15 games he started. He dealt with three different injuries over the course of the season.
“Last year is last year,” Wilson said. “It wasn’t anything that I ever wanted. … But you take the highs with the lows, the mountains with the valleys.”
Just as alarming as his inefficiency and inaccuracy was the fact that Wilson took a career-high 55 sacks. He’s always been sacked a lot — it’s part of the nature of mobile quarterbacks — but his 10.2% rate last year was the second-highest of his career.
Was it concerning, then, to see Wilson at times on Friday hold the ball, then improvise outside the pocket and either take off running or throw on the run? Head coach Sean Payton said not at all and that, in fact, he even encouraged it.
“You want to play it like a game. That’s what we are trying to simulate,” he said. “It’s hard to practice the spontaneous moments that take place in a game. If you break down a whole game, two thirds of it happens in the pocket the way it’s supposed to. A third of it, there’s a movement adjustment, there’s pressure, there’s all sorts of things that can take place. I’m comfortable when I see him climbing (in the pocket) and taking off because one of those plays is like a 30-yard gain.
“How else do you practice that? It’s the same way with the scramble drill when we are out of the pocket. You just begin working on that all of the time. I think it’s one of the things he does well in the framework of a play. When something breaks down and he flushes, a lot of the time good things happen.”
In the days since the Broncos reported for training camp Tuesday, Payton has gone further in expressing confidence in his quarterback than at any point so far over his first six months on the job. He expressed regret about the tone of his comments in a recent USA TODAY story overall, but stood by what he said about Wilson — essentially that he’s got plenty of ability left and that he didn’t hit a career wall last year.
“He looks good now. He’s moving around well,” Payton said Friday.
Suffice it to say many of Wilson’s teammates feel the same way.
Left tackle Garett Bolles earlier this offseason provided a fiery defense of his quarterback and said he’s looking forward to Wilson’s doubters eating crow.
Wide receiver Courtland Sutton said Wednesday he sees a quarterback who might smile and play nice publicly, but wants nothing more than to engineer a career — and franchise — turnaround.
“You guys have seen him, he looks amazing from the outside appearance, but just talking with him and seeing where his head space is and where he’s trying to get to, it’s amazing to see him in that light,” Sutton said. “He has a chip on his shoulder because he knows he didn’t put out what he wanted to put out last year. Everyone knows who Russ is and the things he’s done and last year wasn’t, obviously, what we wanted to see. Knowing him, it wasn’t what he wanted to put out there.
“To see him show up looking the way he did and having the mindset he has, it’s very encouraging and it’s one of those things where everyone is rallying behind him and is ready to go to work.”
Safety Caden Sterns? He’s on board, too.
“Honestly he’s been the same and I say that in a good way,” the third-year defender out of Texas told The Post. “First one in the building, last one out the building. He’s a good guy. Obviously in this sport, the nature of the beast is you get put on blast sometimes, but I really feel like he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the league and he’s going to redeem himself this year. I’m excited to see what he does. He looks a lot healthier this year. He was going through some injuries (last year), so he’s going to be a big piece to what we do. …
“He’s definitely still got some gas in him, still.”
Part of the challenge in the next several weeks is quickly gaining a mastery of Payton’s offensive system. The coach on Friday said it’s “completely different” than what Wilson and the offense did last year, making for a steep learning curve.
“There’s a great sense of urgency what we’re trying to do and a great sense of urgency to understand the playbook and get everybody on the same page. They’ve done a great job of it. The coaching staff has done a tremendous job of really teaching the details to all of us players,” Wilson said. “… We’ve had a really focused offseason and I think, as I said, it’s one day at a time and we’re trying to embrace every single day. In terms of the playbook and all of that, we’re ahead of schedule.”
In addition to the playbook itself, though, Wilson and Payton have to develop their own on-field rapport through camp and the preseason. Wilson is a very different player than Payton had in New Orleans with Drew Brees. He can tuck the ball away and run for a first down, but Payton likely doesn’t want him freelancing so often that the offense struggles to find rhythm.
Like he has since before Payton even interviewed for the Broncos’ job, Wilson on Friday sounded like a player eager to follow the veteran coach.
“Coach Payton has a great balance of winning and his mentality, how he speaks to us and how he walks into the room,” Wilson said. “He has a certain presence that you feel in the room and everybody feels that and we all collectively feel that. He’s a legend in this game we trust everything that he thinks about and what he’s doing and how we go about it. …
“It’s a joy to be in this building and a joy to play for him.”
When Wilson first waxed poetic about Payton’s offensive prowess in January and imagined what it might be like to play for him, he also acknowledged he needed to follow his worst season with his best offseason. The coach ended up in Denver.
Is the other mission accomplished, too?
“Yeah we did that,” he said. “And now it’s time to just go one day at a time and go do what we know how to do and play at the highest level. That’s our focus.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/heres-the-skinny-on-russell-wilson-he-looks-svelte-and-sounds-ready-to-improve-for-denver-broncos/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seahawks | 2023-07-30T02:45:00 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/heres-the-skinny-on-russell-wilson-he-looks-svelte-and-sounds-ready-to-improve-for-denver-broncos/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seahawks |

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Elon Musk’s latest move in converting Twitter to “X” was installing a giant “X” sign over company headquarters. Musk shared a tweet Friday night showing the bright sign displaying his company’s new logo.
Not everyone is happy with the new sign. San Francisco resident Christopher Beale tweeted a video of the aggressively bright light from the “X” outside his apartment and called it an “eye sore.”
City officials have their gripes with the sign as well. The City of San Francisco opened a complaint and an investigation into the sign, which is located at 1355 Market St.
Putting up a sign on top of a building requires a permit for safety and design reasons, according to city officials.
When workers took down the old Twitter sign on Monday, the job was interrupted by the San Francisco Police Department. SFPD told KRON4 that officers responded to a possible unpermitted street closure, but no crime was committed.
Even with all of these issues arising, Musk said he does not plan to move the company headquarters out of the City by the Bay.
Musk, who has no problem being critical of San Francisco, said in a tweet Saturday that the city being in a ‘doom spiral’ is not enough to get X to move.
“Many have offered rich incentives for X (fka Twitter) to move its HQ out of San Francisco,” he said. “Moreover, the city is in a doom spiral with one company after another left or leaving. Therefore, they expect X will move too. We will not. You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down. San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend.” | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/amid-x-sign-controversy-musk-says-headquarters-will-remain-in-sf/ | 2023-07-30T02:45:07 | 0 | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/amid-x-sign-controversy-musk-says-headquarters-will-remain-in-sf/ |

The project proposes reconstructing and widening a stretch of Loop 288 between Interstate 35 and U.S. Highway 380 from four to six lanes and constructing two frontage road lanes in each direction. Additionally, a 10-foot path on the north side of the project and a 6-foot sidewalk on the south side of the road would be added.

Some of the improvements discussed during the Texas Department of Transportation’s virtual public meeting.
According to the meeting, the proposed project is needed to meet future travel demands stemming from the projected population growth and traffic volume.
The project proposes reconstructing and widening a stretch of Loop 288 between Interstate 35 and U.S. Highway 380 from four to six lanes and constructing two frontage road lanes in each direction.
Additionally, a 10-foot path on the north side of the project and a 6-foot sidewalk on the south side of the road would be added.
The proposed project will have improvements in interchanges, including U.S. Highway 77, Bonnie Brae Street, Locust Street and Sherman Drive.
The proposed project would require additional rights of way and could displace residences and non-residential structures.
About 190 acres would be required to complete the proposed improvements, which could potentially include 26 residential, 22 outbuilding and five commercial displacements.
Another 139 acres of new rights of way would be required and would potentially have nine residential, two commercial and one outbuilding displacements.
All right-of-way acquisitions would be completed in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.
The act provides relocation payments and advisory assistance for those who are displaced by highway construction on the Federal-Aid Highway System, according to TxDOT.
The project will include construction in streams and wetlands, floodplains, historical markers, public parkland, cemeteries, archeological sites and potential hazardous materials sites.
TxDOT’s public feedback period for the project will end on Aug. 11. A second public meeting is planned for the spring of 2024, a third public hearing is planned for early 2025, and bids to work the project will open in 2028.

Two Southlake police officers have been terminated after an incident in which a swastika was drawn during a meeting, Chief James Brandon said in a written statement Friday.
“As a Chief I am deeply disappointed in the lack of judgment shown by the actions of the officers involved,” the statement said. “I know that their actions do not reflect the values of the men and women who serve and protect our community each day, our city leadership, our organization or our community.”
The Dallas Morning News filed a public records request into the sharing of the drawing prior to the release of the department’s statement.
Brandon said in the statement that he was made aware of the drawing June 14. The swastika was drawn during a break in a meeting involving “members of the police department.”
Brandon said the drawing was shared with others, but did not specify who.
“The drawing was an inexcusable attempt at humor and not related to the department’s patch or logo,” Brandon said.
The statement said the department immediately began an internal investigation, which resulted in the termination of two officers, but it did not identify the officers.
The department’s Public Information Officer Brad Uptmore did not immediately respond to a request for further information Friday. When asked about the drawing July 18, Uptmore told a reporter in a written statement, “We do not have any information to share at this time.”
“Hate symbols do not reflect the values that we share as public servants and are not acceptable in any form or situation,” Brandon said in his statement.

We know that climate change is happening and that we need to figure out how to adapt to it as quickly as possible to ensure a livable and prosperous future.
A recent article in The Dallas Morning News reported that Texas cities and towns have set 369 daily high temperature records since June 1. In the past 30 days almost 5,000 heat and rainfall records have been broken or tied in the U.S., and more than 10,000 records set globally (NOAA).
According to our own Texas state climatologist, by 2036 (13 years from now) there will be nearly double the number of 100-degree days that we are having now.
The frequency of extremely hot days over 100 degrees will surpass all previous records. Extreme rain events will be 30% to 50% more frequent.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Texas leads the U.S. in total cumulative costs from extreme weather events: $380 billion from billion-dollar weather disasters since 1980.
What are the potential economic impacts of climate change to the county and how will the county mitigate them?
Is Denton County Emergency Management prepared to meet the challenges to the public health and safety posed by rising temperatures and increased extreme weather events?
What are the county’s policies for preparing for the impacts of climate change on county infrastructure, services and facilities?
I ask these questions because I could find no answers on the county’s website.
Ed Soph,
Denton

Nolan Arenado isn’t going anywhere. Cardinals say they aren’t trading him
The St. Louis Cardinals have decided not to trade Nolan Arenado after all.
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the club will not move the All-Star third baseman before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
The decision comes after the Dodgers and Cardinals had engaged in discussions to trade Arenado to Los Angeles, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.
Amid continuing talks with the Cardinals about Nolan Arenado, the Dodgers could potentially be interested in acquiring Justin Verlander from the Mets.
“I have stated we are not trading him, have not asked him to waive his [no-trade clause],” Mozeliak said, according to the newspaper. “So at this time, we are working on building future success.”
That doesn’t mean talks between the Cardinals and Dodgers didn’t happen. Discussions centered on Arenado going to Los Angeles with a pitcher — Jack Flaherty or Jordan Montgomery — in exchange for a package featuring pitching prospects. Arenado’s contract includes a no-trade clause, but he would’ve waived it to join the Dodgers, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
Arenado, a Southern California native, has long wanted to play for the Dodgers, and the Dodgers have long coveted him. But the Cardinals weren’t in a pinch to trade him. Arenado has four years left on his contract and the Cardinals want to compete in 2024 after this season’s disappointment.
One could argue acquiring young, talented and cost-controlled pitching would’ve boosted the Cardinals’ long-term outlook, but employing Arenado — an eight-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove Award winner — is good for winning right away.
Angels left fielder Taylor Ward was hit in the face with a pitch and carted off the field during a 6-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
On the Dodgers’ end, adding a premium position player wasn’t a need. But Arenado — and one of the two veteran pitchers — would’ve provided a significant boost for a club battling for the NL West title.
Ultimately, the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement. Arenado will remain in St. Louis for now and the Dodgers will look to acquire more starting pitching help before Tuesday.

ARLINGTON — Friday night football has been an important part of Eric Morris’ life as far back as he can remember.
North Texas’ new coach is the son of a former Texas high school coach and played at Shallowater before starring at Texas Tech. He’s been to plenty of Friday night high school games since in order to recruit the state’s top players as an assistant coach.
He and his coaches won’t have that opportunity at least once this year. UNT is playing longtime rival SMU on Nov. 10 in a rare Friday night college game.
Playing on Friday isn’t a situation Morris and several other Texas college coaches are comfortable with, even though they understand the reasons behind scheduling games then.
“Friday nights are such an important piece of my upbringing,” Morris said during American Athletic Conference media days this week. “Texas is a little different than other states. We would rather not play on Friday, but at the same time I understand that for our TV deal, those things are going to happen.”
The American reached a 12-year media rights extension with ESPN in the spring of 2019. Playing on ESPN regularly is expected to be a boon for UNT, which joined the league over the summer after a decade in Conference USA.
Part of the trade-off is occasionally playing midweek games. The American has 12 weeknight games scheduled this season with six coming on Fridays.
Other than two games slated for Thursday, Aug. 31, all of them will be shown on ESPN or ESPN2.
The national exposure those games provide is huge for the league. Having its annual rivalry game against SMU on ESPN2 will provide UNT great exposure.
The downside of playing on Friday night in Texas is that it often puts college games in direct conflict with high school games.
UNT and SMU avoided the high school regular season by a week, but the first round of the playoffs will be underway. First-round games are often played on Friday nights, though some are also held on Thursday or Saturday.
Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said this summer that the league is considering playing more games on Friday nights.
The idea drew a strong reaction from Joe Martin, the executive director of the Texas High School Coaches Association.
“We are certainly opposed to that,” Martin said at the THCA convention. “That is something that was shocking for us to read. It’s about TV money.
“We want to keep Friday night pure in high school football. We’re so different from everybody else. Our communities still go and support our teams. Any other football, whether it’s Division I or NFL, that is out there on Friday night, we’re opposed to that.”
The Big 12 has six Friday night games this year, including four conference games.
Morris isn’t the only Texas college coach who is not fond of the idea of playing on Friday night. SMU coach Rhett Lashlee feels the same way.
Lashlee also pointed to the unique nature of Texas high school football as a reason to avoid playing on Friday nights while acknowledging that television contracts make those games important.
“I’m not for us playing on Friday nights in Texas,” Lashlee said. “Texas high school football and what the THSCA and the UIL do make it different than anywhere else.
“Friday nights are about communities in the state. Why would we want communities to have to decide between going to a high school game or a college game? We should work together. We can play on Thursdays and Saturdays. Fridays, as much as we can, should be about high schools.”
SMU has two Friday night games this year. The Mustangs will also face Temple on Oct. 20.
Morris doesn’t expect many people back in Shallowater to be planted in front of their televisions at home watching the Mean Green take on the Mustangs.
“Hopefully, they will be sitting at the game in Shallowater on their phones streaming our game because they’re not going to miss the Shallowater game,” Morris said. “We are so proud to join the American and have national coverage. It’s a dream come true for us as an institution.
“We love Friday nights and Texas high school football, but what has to be done has to be done.”

Fredrick Dotie didn’t have to go through an extended introductory process when North Texas began recruiting him a few months back.
The Kennedale safety got to know UNT director of recruiting Justin Owens years ago. Owens coached in high school ranks, ran camps and coached a 7-on-7 passing league team over the summers before joining UNT coach Eric Morris’ staff.
Dotie was one of the stars of Texas Flex, Owens’ 7-on-7 team.
That relationship played a key role in UNT landing the senior, who announced his commitment to the Mean Green on Twitter on Friday.
1000% committed 🦅✅‼️ pic.twitter.com/U7RD4wpcAp
— Fredrick_10 (@Fredrickdotie) July 28, 2023
“The relationship I have with the coaches was the biggest reason I committed,” Dotie said. “I have known coach O since I was in middle school. That made me more comfortable with North Texas.”
UNT linebackers coach Colby Kratch also played a key role in recruiting Dotie.
He visited UNT multiple times and was on hand Wednesday when the Mean Green held their final recruiting camp of the summer.
Dotie didn’t participate in the event but did tour campus.
“I enjoyed my visit,” Dotie said. “I got to see the dorms and the learning center. I want to major in business and saw that part of the school.”
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior is ranked as a three-star prospect by 247Sports, which rates him at No. 76 in its composite rankings of the top safeties in the class of 2024.
Dotie has scholarship offers from a dozen schools. Missouri, Texas Tech, TCU and Utah, which are all members of Power Five conferences, offered Dotie a scholarship.
UNT’s key American Athletic Conference rival UTSA also offered. Dotie visited UTSA in late May.
He cut the list of schools he was considering over the last few weeks and ultimately picked UNT over UTSA, Tulane and Stephen F. Austin.
UNT recruited Dotie as a linebacker as it shifts to a 3-3-5 scheme under coordinator Matt Caponi.
He was a first-team All-District 7-5A Division I selection last season when he played for North Mesquite. He transferred to Kennedale in the offseason after his family moved.
Dotie became the 13th player in the Mean Green’s recruiting class and the second who is projected to play safety for UNT.
The Mean Green picked up a commitment from Jaydon Smith from Ingleside earlier this summer.
Dotie said he wanted to commit early so that he could turn his attention to his senior season. He made his choice on Friday and secured an opportunity to team up with Owens again.
“It was a great experience to play on Coach O’s 7-on-7 team,” Dotie said. “There were new faces every day. I got to play with different guys and build relationships.”

OXNARD, Calif. — Dak Prescott was busy jotting down a few notes when the question was posed.
Who was the oldest person in the room? He didn’t pay much attention until a couple of guys in the room started coughing.
“Then I heard my name and looked up and everybody was giving me crap for being the old guy,’’ Prescott said about the recent getaway he hosted at Lake Oconee in Georgia.
“That’s when it hit me.’’
Prescott is entering his eighth season as the Cowboys quarterback. He turns 30 on Saturday and will celebrate with another day on the practice field.
Well, there might be a bit more to the celebration after practice since the team will enjoy its first off day of this camp on Sunday, but you get the idea.
Time passes in the blink of an eye in the NFL. Prescott is the only member of the Cowboys 2016 draft class who still has a spot on the roster.
The debate on whether he’s the quarterback to lead this franchise where Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman did before him won’t be settled here. That’s a postseason conversation.
But no one should question Prescott’s drive to end the franchise’s Super Bowl drought. No one can question how he’s matured into one of the highest-profile positions in professional sports and how important the Cowboys are to him.
Dak Prescott is the unquestioned leader of this group. The excursion he organized before camp got underway is simply the latest example. More on that in a bit.
First, listen to what Brandin Cooks has to say.
The veteran receiver, entering his 10th season, was traded to the Cowboys in March. He’s worked with Tom Brady and Drew Brees in his career.
His initial impression of Prescott?
“I’ll never get into comparing,’’ Cooks responded. “But one thing I say about Dak is just the way he’s able to lead. I talked to some of the guys about that the other day.
“Leading, you just can’t fake it. And the way that he leads is so authentic. You’ll follow that man anywhere. That alone right there is the number one key in my opinion you’ve got to have from a quarterback.
“He has that and more.’’
Prescott isn’t the only quarterback in the NFL to get together with his receivers before camp. It’s common to see photos from around the league of a quarterback enjoying a trip with four or five or his guys during the summer. Prescott has done it before.
The difference is Prescott took this outing to another level. A total of 17 teammates joined him. The players were responsible for their airfare to Atlanta and the quarterback picked up all other expenses.
02X, an organization with a stated goal of improving the lives of tactical athletes through world-class human performance programs, helped organize the group’s time together. In addition to the practice time there was a presentation from a group of Navy SEALs and time on the lake fishing, tubing and riding jet skis.
Mike McCarthy has spoken to several players who went on the trip. Receivers CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert told the head coach how meaningful the trip was and how it impacted them.
“That’s what leadership is,’’ McCarthy said. “He [Prescott] is an incredible leader.’’
Accountability. Trusting that your teammates have your back in times of adversity. Your success is my success.
Those were a few of the themes explored in addition to working on the timing of routes.
“I don’t think I can really put into words and really quantify what all we got from that and how much that is going to serve us as we move forward,’’ Prescott said of the time together. “We had 17 guys together and I think every single one will tell you they benefitted from it, that they will use it for themselves personally and they will use it to help this team.
“It’s an honor to work with those guys.’’
What would you expect an old quarterback like Prescott to say?
“He is old,’’ Lamb confirmed. “He hates to hear it but he’s an old man.’’
Lamb likes to say that no one 30 years old can cover him. He made that statement around Prescott recently.
“Easy,’’ the quarterback said. “I’m going to be 30 soon.’’
“Well,’’ Lamb responded, “you better keep warming that shoulder up because soon enough I’m going to be able to outrun it.’’
That may be true someday. But not yet.
And certainly not on Prescott’s 30th birthday this Saturday.
“I mean, it just happens fast,’’ Prescott said.
“It adds to the urgency.’’

Guyer's Brad Pruett was honored among the state's best baseball players Friday on the Blue Bell/Texas Sports Writers Association's 6A all-state teams.
Pruett, an Oklahoma signee, earned an honorable mention nod at pitcher after leading the Wildcats on the deepest playoff run in program history. The two-way standout helped Guyer reach its first-ever regional final before falling to eventual state champion Flower Mound.
Ending his high school career with a bang, Pruett notched a 1.73 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 81 innings of work on the bump. He added a pair of team-best marks at the plate with a .377 batting average and 33 RBIs to take home District 5-6A's Most Valuable Player award.
Those efforts also helped Guyer win its first outright district championship and surpass the previous program record of 27 wins in a season with 33. Their trip to the regional finals ended up two rounds deeper than the previous program-best postseason run.
Now, Pruett is one of several Wildcat players headed to the collegiate ranks and will play in the same conference as Texas signee Lane Allen.

OSHKOSH, Wis. — 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.

Seann William Scott's breakout 'American Pie' role only earned him $8,000, worked at the zoo after film
The actor who portrayed the raunchy Steve Stifler in the 1999 movie reportedly made around $5 million for the franchise's fourth installment
Seann William Scott this week revealed that he only made $8,000 for his infamous portrayal of Stifler in the 1999 teen comedy "American Pie" and had to take a job selling churros at the zoo after the movie wrapped.
"It was a lot of money at the time," the 46-year-old said on Peacock’s Rich Eisen Show while playing "Celebrity True or False."
"I remember afterwards I bought a used Thunderbird for like $5,000 or maybe $6,000, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, baby’," he said. "I don’t know what happened to the other $2,000 because I ended up having to work at the LA Zoo as a churro guy, so maybe it was even less than $8,000."
He joked that he worked at the zoo for two days and "sold five churros."
The movie went on to make $235 million at the box office, according to Deadline.
Scott played Stifler in three more "American Pie" sequels, including 2001’s "American Pie 2" and 2003’s "American Wedding."
And he reportedly made around $5 million for "American Reunion," which marked his latest feature film turn as Stifler.

He has also starred in 2003’s "The Rundown," 2005’s "The Dukes of Hazzard," 2008’s "Role Models" and voiced the opossum character Crash in the "Ice Age" movies.
Scott recently reunited with "American Pie" co-star Jason Biggs this year for a DoorDash commercial in which crashes Biggs' party and they debate about whether their "best summer ever" was this year or when they were in high school together.
Scott also told Comicbook.com in May that the cast could return for a fifth installment of the franchise.
"I just love the character so much," Scott said of the sex-obsessed Stifler. "Comedy is tough, and they have always been tough, but you know, comedies have really changed. But I think, honestly, we have been talking about an idea. I had one and I still have one that we've literally just recently started talking about."

The search continued Saturday for the driver of an SUV that suddenly stopped on Interstate 95 in Topsfield on Friday afternoon, touching off a three-vehicle crash that killed a Cape Cod man and injured three others, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The driver of the 2008 GMC Acadia SUV and his passenger ran away from the scene of the crash into nearby woods. State Troopers arrested the passenger, identified as David Guzman, 30, of Lynn, State Police said in a statement.
Guzman was charged with interfering with a police officer. He posted cash bail at the State Police barracks in Newbury. His court appearance is pending.

State Police dispatched K9 teams and its Air Wing to capture the driver, a man who is also from Lynn, the statement said.
Witnesses reported seeing the man running across the 17th and 18th holes on the golf course of Ferncroft Country Club, the statement said. The man, who was wearing a gray t-shirt, was later seen heading toward the club’s parking lot.
Meanwhile, State Police confirmed the identity of the man killed as Valkisergio Costa Silva, 44, of Centerville, according to the statement.
Silva was a passenger in a 2006 Chevrolet Express Van that was heading south on the highway. The van was struck by a Chevy Impala that was attempting to avoid hitting the stopped SUV, State Police said
Silva and another passenger were ejected from the van after it rolled over in the median. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The other passenger, a 30-year-old man, was flown to a Boston hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, according to the statement.
The driver of the van, a 32-year-old man from Yarmouth, and a third passenger, a 53-year-old man, were taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries. Their conditions were not known Saturday night.

Mets trade Max Scherzer to Rangers after 3-time Cy Young winner approves deal: reports
The deal required Scherzer to waive his no-trade clause
The New York Mets traded eight-time All-Star Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers Saturday night in exchange for top prospect Luisangel Acuña after Scherzer agreed to the deal, according to multiple reports.
A tentative deal was struck earlier in the day, but it needed Scherzer's approval because he had a no-trade clause.
The Rangers are in first place in the AL West and have the third-best record in the American League. But the team's starting rotation lost Jacob deGrom to a season-ending injury. The addition of Scherzer provides rotation depth and gives the Rangers an experienced veteran down the stretch.

The Mets are in the midst of one of the most disappointing seasons in the majors. After owner Steve Cohen spent a record amount on the team's payroll during the offseason, New York sits in fourth place in the NL East.
DODGERS BOLSTER PITCHING STAFF, TRADE FOR LANCE LYNN AND RELIEVER JOE KELLY
The decision to move on from Scherzer could signal the beginning of the Mets' commitment to a wider sell-off.
The 39-year-old Scherzer has not been quite as formidable this year as he has been in recent years, giving up 23 home runs on the season. He has a 4.01 ERA and has struck out 121.
Scherzer is still considered a top of the rotation pitcher and should bolster the Rangers' staff.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner has worked through neck and back issues this year. A sticky substance violation resulted in a 10-game suspension for Scherzer in April.
Scherzer is in the second year of a three-year, $130 million contract he signed with New York.
Scherzer said he was disappointed the Mets decided to trade closer David Robertson to the Marlins in exchange for two young prospects.
"Disappointed. I mean, obviously. We put ourselves in this position," Scherzer told reporters. "We haven't played well enough as a team. I've had a hand in that for why we're in the position that we're at. Can't get mad at anybody but yourself, but it stinks."

BALTIMORE — Aaron Judge homered and singled twice in his second game back from the injured list and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-3, on Saturday night.
Giancarlo Stanton and Kyle Higashioka went deep as well for the Yankees, who knocked out struggling Orioles starter Tyler Wells (7-6) in the third inning. In the sixth, Isiah Kiner-Falefa capped a 10-pitch at-bat with a three-run double to make it 8-3.
Judge has three walks and three hits in nine plate appearances since returning Friday from the toe injury that kept him out since early June.

Ryan Mountcastle homered for the Orioles, but Clarke Schmidt (7-6) made it through five tough innings and the New York bullpen took it from there.

The Orioles remained 1½ games ahead of Tampa Bay atop the AL East. The Yankees are 3½ behind Toronto and Houston for the final two wild cards in the American League.
Judge walked three times Friday night, but the Yankees lost that game, 1-0, on a ninth-inning homer by Baltimore’s Anthony Santander. New York’s offense was relentless a night later.
Stanton’s first-inning drive easily cleared the big wall in left field at Camden Yards. Mountcastle tied it in the second, and Baltimore went ahead 2-1 on an RBI infield single by Ramón Urías. That lead was short-lived.
Judge hit a two-run shot — 442 feet to center field — in the third. Then Gleyber Torres added a sacrifice fly an inning later.
Santander made it 4-3 with an RBI groundout in the fifth, but New York broke the game open in the sixth. Cole Irvin allowed a leadoff homer by Higashioka — his third hit of the night — and then one-out singles to Judge, Stanton, and Anthony Rizzo.
Bryan Baker came in and struck out DJ LeMahieu, but after fouling off five pitches, Kiner-Falefa cleared the bases with a line drive to left.

Wells entered the game with a major league-leading WHIP of 0.99, but he allowed three runs, three hits and three walks in 2⅔ innings.

Emergency services attempted rescue efforts after receiving reports of the fallen climber July 26
An 80-year-old Scottish man fell over 3,000 feet to his death on a remote island in the Scottish highlands
Rescue Teams from the Coastguard alongside Skye Mountain Rescue rushed to Coire a' Bhasteir in the Cuillin range on the Isle of Skye, an island in Scotland, at around 3.05pm Wednesday, July 26, following reports of a fallen climber.
Police have not released the name of the 80-year-old man who died nor how he fell from the mountain.
In a statement, Skye Mountain Rescue said that 20 rescue personnel and passing climbers assisted authorities in evacuating the body with the help of a rescue helicopter R948 from the mountain.

ATLANTA — A fight over food turned violent at a center for people experiencing homelessness in Atlanta on Saturday, according to police.
Atlanta Police officers responded to the Gateway Center at 275 Pryor St. SW just after 4 p.m. after receiving calls of a person shot. When they got there, they found a man who had been shot in each of his arms.
An argument between two men over food escalated into a 32-year-old man finding a large stick where he began to start swinging it at the other man, police said. The suspect then began hitting the man with the stick, when the victim took out a gun and shot the man with the stick several times, according to APD.
Officers said the victim shot the suspect out of self-defense and will not face any charges. The 32-year-old man was arrested and charged. Both men were taken to the hospital to be treated, but were reported to be stable.
The charges against the 32-year-old man are not yet known, although APD's Aggravated Assault Unit was on scene investigating.

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:
Take a moment and think about the last thing you cooked. How much do you think the carrot in that recipe cost? And what about those three cups of vegetable broth? Beth Moncel could actually answer that question. She's the founder of budgetbytes.com, a recipe website for folks with small budgets. When she studied nutritional science in college, she learned a costing method that restaurants and cafeterias use, and you can use it at home, too.
BETH MONCEL: I suggest everyone try costing at least once because it's so eye-opening. It really does make you rethink the way you look at all of the ingredients that you're buying.
DETROW: Marielle Segarra, the host of NPR's Life Kit, talked to Moncel recently, and she is going to share some more about that technique, along with other tips for how to spend less on groceries.
MARIELLE SEGARRA, BYLINE: This technique, costing, means calculating the per-service cost of a recipe. So let's say you are making lentil bolognese. That's a recipe on Moncel's website. One ingredient is a carrot. You'd figure out the price of that carrot, add it to the cost of all the other ingredients in the recipe and then...
MONCEL: Divide it by the number of servings so you know how much each of your meals is costing.
SEGARRA: The lentil bolognese costs $1.40 per serving. Moncel says when you do this, you start to notice patterns, like some of the components are way cheaper than others. One carrot is $0.15. One cup of red lentils - $0.67. Half a cup of walnuts - $1.07. Moncel says once you know these things, you can tweak the ratios in your recipes to make them cheaper - like if she's making chili with ground beef.
MONCEL: So something that I like to do is reduce that ground beef by half, so I'm still getting that beefy flavor and that satisfying mouthfeel of, you know, actually eating beef. But then I bulk up the recipe with extra beans, maybe some lentils or maybe even some extra vegetables if I have them.
SEGARRA: Some other foods that tend to be cheap and substantive.
MONCEL: My favorite is cabbage. Cabbage is so versatile because it can go with so many different flavors, and there's a lot of different ways you can prepare it. And it's so filling. Don't forget about potatoes, onions, carrots. Even broccoli sometimes can be pretty inexpensive.
SEGARRA: On the flip side, ingredients that tend to be more expensive are meat, cheese, other dairy products and nuts. Another way to lower your monthly grocery bill is to make sure you're not wasting food. Moncel relies heavily on her freezer.
MONCEL: I often freeze leftover cheese. Leftover bread products freeze really well.
SEGARRA: If you can't freeze a leftover ingredient, try incorporating it into your menu for the next few days. Now, if you're one of those people who puts stuff in the freezer and then forgets that it's in there...
MONCEL: One way to stay on top of that is you can actually keep a list magnetized to the front of your freezer. And every time you put, like, a leftover ingredient in the freezer, you know, just write it down. Write the date on it. And then if you use it, cross it off your list.
SEGARRA: In terms of the actual grocery shopping, Moncel looks at circulars online before she heads to the store. She does that while she's making a meal plan so she can work in ingredients that are on sale. She says keep in mind, it's not always cheaper to buy in bulk. Also, think about whether you'll use that huge bag of flour before it goes bad. Lastly, if you're having a hard time paying for groceries, she suggests that you look up food banks in your area.
MONCEL: I think it's a really great resource that is often overlooked, or people think food banks are for people who only have no food. But really, it's like a bridge to help people through these tough times.
SEGARRA: Maybe you just need a couple of things to get you to your next paycheck. For NPR News, I'm Marielle Segarra. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

FUKUOKA, Japan — Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time — 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum — wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
“I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I’ve already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight,” she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
“I’m pretty tough on myself," she said. “But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace.”
The 800 was Ledecky’s second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
“It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women’s 200 backstroke. McKeown’s victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
“You can’t change the rules,” she said. “I got ruled out. It’s just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn’t do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive.”
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjöström of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjöström’s individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps’ mark.
Sjöström also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
“There are not too many secrets,” Sjöström said about her longevity. “Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble.”
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year’s world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo — 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed | 2023-07-30T02:47:08 | 1 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed |
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — The United States heads into its final group match at the Women's World Cup with questions swirling about the team's tactics.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski started the same lineup against Netherlands on Thursday that he rolled out for the opening match against Vietnam. While it was enough for the United States to beat the Vietnamese 3-0, it was less successful against the stronger Dutch, and the Americans settled for a 1-1 draw.
That lineup had never played together before the World Cup.
The tie meant that the United States will likely need a more decisive outcome on Tuesday against Portugal to finish atop Group E and secure a favorable path in the knockout round. Going into the game, advancing out of the group wasn't a given for the two-time defending World Cup champions.
In addition to the same starters, Andonovski made just one substitution in the game against the Dutch, bringing on midfielder Rose Lavelle to start the second half. But no fresh legs were subbed in even after players showed fatigue. Forwards Lynn Williams and Megan Rapinoe remained on the sidelines.
He was asked about the strategy afterward.
“I just didn’t want to disrupt the rhythm at that point because sometimes a substitute comes in and it might take a minute or two to get into a rhythm,” he said. “We just didn’t want to jeopardize anything because I thought all three of our forwards were very good, dangerous, created opportunities and were a handful.”
It was the first time that the United States had made just one or fewer substitutions in a World Cup game since 2007.
Known in 2019 for jumping on World Cup opponents early, the Americans did not score against the Dutch until the second half when they were already down 1-0.
Lavelle is one of the team's top midfielders and made an immediate impact in the game — boosting the energy and feeding the attack — and the United States looked like that 2019 championship team again. She served up a corner kick to Lindsey Horan, angry about getting knocked down by a Dutch player moments before, for the game-tying goal in the 62nd minute.
Lavelle had a knee injury going into the World Cup and hadn't played since April. She's been on a minutes restriction and Andonovski has been starting Savannah DeMelo, one of the teams' 14 players making their first-ever appearance in the World Cup.
DeMelo hadn't played in a match with the national team until the send-off game against Wales in San Jose, the day the team departed for the World Cup.
“I think we weren’t in sync," midfielder Andi Sullivan said. “That happens, and we were able to adjust and respond. Hopefully, we can do that earlier in the future. And I think that’s also a great strength of this team -- we have lots of different ways we can do that together.”
Andonovski said the team can build off that second half against the Dutch in Wellington.
“Even though it didn’t finish the way we wanted to finish I thought it was a very good match for our team and especially for a group of young players. They grew throughout the game, individually, but also as a team we grew throughout the game as well,” Andonovski said. “I’ve said this before, this team is not just young. This team is also a fresh team that hasn’t spent a lot of minutes together. What you saw in the second half is what you’re going to see going forward as a best baseline. I think that we’re just going to get better from game to game and we’re gonna be a lot more efficient as well.”
Portugal fell 1-0 in its opening match against the Dutch, then defeated Vietnam 2-0 on Thursday in Hamilton. The victory knocked Vietnam out of the next round.
The United States sits atop Group E, even on points — four — with the Netherlands but edging the Dutch on goal differential. Portugal, third in the group with three points, could leap in front of the U.S. with a win at Auckland's Eden Park.
The Dutch play Vietnam in an earlier game Tuesday in Dunedin.
Telma Encarnacao and Kika Nazareth each scored in the match against Vietnam, which made history as Portugal's first win in its first World Cup appearance.
“We are aware of what awaits us, but we are focused on ourselves, which is very important,” Nazareth told reporters at training on Saturday. “We will enter the field respecting the opponent, with humility, but always with character and personality. The work will be there, the talent is there. And I think you also always need a little bit of luck. It’s believing.” | https://www.11alive.com/article/sports/soccer/us-faces-portugal-with-womens-world-cup-future-still-up-in-the-air-knockout-stage/507-6403953b-33b2-4d89-b452-919cd9f37dac | 2023-07-30T02:47:14 | 1 | https://www.11alive.com/article/sports/soccer/us-faces-portugal-with-womens-world-cup-future-still-up-in-the-air-knockout-stage/507-6403953b-33b2-4d89-b452-919cd9f37dac |

GLENDALE — 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.” | https://www.abc15.com/sports/cardinals-kyler-murray-says-his-knee-rehab-is-going-well-but-has-no-timetable-for-his-return | 2023-07-30T02:48:41 | 0 | https://www.abc15.com/sports/cardinals-kyler-murray-says-his-knee-rehab-is-going-well-but-has-no-timetable-for-his-return |
OCEAN CITY, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A familiar face made an appearance at an event in Ocean City, New Jersey on Saturday night.
Former 6abc anchor Jim Gardner served as grand marshal for the Night in Venice Parade.
The theme for this year's boat parade was 'It's a Philly Thing.'
And of course, you can't celebrate Philadelphia without including our beloved sports mascots.
The Philly Phanatic, Phang, and Gritty helped hype up the onlookers.
Gardner retired back in December after over 45 years at 6abc.
He led the line of boats throughout the bay on Saturday night.
The route started near the Ocean City Longpoty Toll bridge and traveled to Tennessee Avenue.
At the end of the night, a fireworks show wrapped up the festivities. | https://6abc.com/jim-gardner-night-in-venice-parade-2023-ocean-city-new-jersey-boat/13570630/ | 2023-07-30T02:48:47 | 1 | https://6abc.com/jim-gardner-night-in-venice-parade-2023-ocean-city-new-jersey-boat/13570630/ |

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — With the summer heat wave in full swing in Southern California, a backyard pool is a tempting place to take a dip.
Even for a bear.
Police in the city of Burbank responded to a report of a bear sighting in a residential neighborhood and found the animal sitting in a Jacuzzi behind one of the homes.
After a short dip, the bear climbed over a wall and headed to a tree behind the home, police said in a statement Friday.
Police released a video of the animal in the neighborhood, which is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Los Angeles and near the Verdugo Mountains.
The Burbank police have issued warnings for residents to avoid bears and to keep all garbage and food locked up to discourage bears from coming to their residences. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/in-summer-heat-bear-spotted-in-southern-california-backyard-jacuzzi/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2023-07-30T02:49:22 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/in-summer-heat-bear-spotted-in-southern-california-backyard-jacuzzi/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s recruit who was struck by an SUV during a training run last year has died, authorities said.
Alejandro Martinez fought for his life for the past eight months, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said late Friday.
“Tragically, he was not able to fulfill his calling of helping others,” the department said in a statement. “He will forever live in our hearts & never be forgotten.”
About 75 recruits, from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and several local police agencies, were running in formation on a street in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier last November when an SUV veered into them. Twenty-five cadets were injured.
The SUV driver had been identified as a 22-year-old man from suburban Diamond Bar who suffered a minor injury. He was initially arrested for investigation but authorities later released him on grounds that more investigation was needed. His attorney said he has no animosity toward law enforcement and that it was a tragic accident. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/los-angeles-sheriffs-academy-recruit-who-was-struck-by-suv-on-training-run-dies/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2023-07-30T02:49:28 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/los-angeles-sheriffs-academy-recruit-who-was-struck-by-suv-on-training-run-dies/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

BOISE, Idaho — This article originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
This summer, Boise School District began work on remodeling and renovating Collister Elementary School. Last summer, BSD started construction on Dallas Harris Elementary School. These projects were made possible by voters who passed the 2017 bond for $172.5 million, which needed a 66.67% ‘yes’ vote to be approved and received an 86% approval vote, BSD Public Affairs Administrator Dan Hollar said.
After the bond’s approval, BSD began 22 projects, Hollar said, and right now, the district’s 2017 bond projects are about 90% completed. Both Dallas Harris and Collister are expected to continue construction during the upcoming school year.
COLLISTER ELEMENTARY
Construction on Collister began this June and is expected to be completed in a year, Principal Tara Coe said.
While the original portion built in 1912 is still standing, the rest of Collister Elementary, located on Catalpa Drive west of Hill Road, has been demolished. So this year, students will be attending school at Fort Boise Learning Center on 300 W Fort Street instead of Collister, Coe said. Prior to the current renovations, the three-story school had accessibility and safety issues.
“If we had certain students, we had to make sure that their classroom was in a place that was accessible for all,” Coe said. “Now there will be an elevator in the new part of the building that will allow for access to all classrooms for everyone.”
When the now-demolished addition was added to the original elementary school, the main office became central to the school and the entrance to the school was down a hallway. While Collister had cameras set up and visitors were required to buzz in to enter the school, there was a long stretch of hallway before people entering the school would reach the office.
“That was always concerning to me,” Coe said. “Making sure we can always have eyes on kids at all times, it’s just how it is now.”
After the renovations are completed and the school is reopened, administration will have more control over visitors and parents dropping things off for their children.
“This update will really improve student safety,” Coe said. “To know that we were on a list and that those major things that could be improved and that our community supported us, that was just really heartwarming.”
Collister Elementary’s renovation is estimated to cost over $16.2 million, according to Hollar.
The district is trying to maintain the “small school feel” the Collister has, so the remodel is meant to update what is needed, but maintain its historical aspects, like the school’s original wood and windows. After the renovations are completed, Collister will have a slightly larger footprint with one additional classroom.
“It will continue to be a really great community school,” Coe said. “Just knowing that in a year from now, our students are going to be in a safe building that still is a part of the community is important.”
The school is currently figuring out transportation for students who will be bussing next year, because most students who usually walked to school will now ride the bus. The bus schedule is anticipated to be released in August, Coe said.
DALLAS HARRIS ELEMENTARY
According to Dallas Harris Elementary School Principal Wendi Forrey, for the first time in BSD history, two schools will be residing at the same site: Riverside and Dallas Harris.
Dallas Harris will open around October and is expected to cost $21.1 million, according to Hollar. The goal, Forrey said, is to have students attending school at the new building before November. The school was initially anticipated to reach completion this August, but steel supply chain issues stalled the build early on, Forrey said.
The new school will have capacity for 500 students, Forrey said. A majority of the students that will be attending Dallas Harris would have attended Riverside, so they are familiar with the school.
“Our hope is that the students don’t really feel much of the bumps in the road, they just are at school one day, and the next day they’re at Dallas Harris,” Forrey said. “We really want to take care of them, and one of the ways we’re taking care of them is their teacher and their classmates will all be the same.”
From the start of the upcoming school year to the end, students at Dallas Harris will have the same teachers and the same classmates, just a newer school to move into before the holidays. And Riverside Elementary won’t be as crowded as people might think, because everyone aside from the additional teachers and staff, would have already been attending the school anyway, said Kali Riden, kindergarten teacher at Dallas Harris.
Riden’s children, Michael and Jane, will be attending Dallas Harris and making the transition to the new building with her this year.
“We’re all very ready,” Riden said. “As a parent, I just am so excited for the school to open. I want it to already be open, but I also understand things take time and good things come to those who wait. And there’s a lot of things that are being taken into account for the school so I actually appreciate them taking their time and opening it right.”
The transition might be better mid-year, Riden said, giving students the opportunity to meet their new teachers and classmates and get used to them before moving buildings.
Dallas Harris is filling a need for a neighborhood school in East Boise, on South Barnside Way between East Parkcenter Boulevard and East Warm Spring Avenue.
“It’s time to be able to walk to a community school,” Riden said. “The Boise school district kind of prides itself on having neighborhood schools.”
When the time comes this fall, the entire Dallas Harris community will be involved with the transition, that will probably take place over a weekend, to the new elementary school, Forrey said.
“Even without kids of your own, these are our kids and our future,” Riden said. “I’m thankful I live in a place that recognizes the value of investing in our children. Even with all the growth in Boise, we haven’t lost sight of what makes our communities thrive.”

Crash on Highway 30 in Olmsted County leaves one woman dead
(ABC 6 News) – One woman is dead after two vehicles collided in an intersection on Highway 30 Saturday morning.
It happened around 9:47 a.m. near milepost 217.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, 25-year-old Karl Stasko of Hayfield, was driving east on Highway 30 when he collided with 64-year-old Sharon Evenson of Stewartville in the intersection.
Evenson was reportedly driving north out of her driveway before the crash.
Evenson died from her injuries.
Stasko suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
There was no alcohol involved.
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office, Stewartville Fire & Rescue, as well as Mayo Clinic Ambulance, were also on the scene. | https://www.kaaltv.com/news/crash-on-highway-30-in-olmsted-county-leaves-one-woman-dead/ | 2023-07-30T02:50:06 | 1 | https://www.kaaltv.com/news/crash-on-highway-30-in-olmsted-county-leaves-one-woman-dead/ |
Calls for higher minimum wage in Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The Lyric Theatre hosted “Kentuckians for the Commonwealth,” a group whose aim is to combat poverty in the Bluegrass State.
It was a night fueled by faith and a fervor for change.
“Wherever there’s been full transformation in America, it’s when the rejected have come together,” said Reverend William Barber.
Rev. Barber, who was once banned from Kentucky’s state capitol, spoke at the Kentuckians for the Commonwealth annual meeting and on behalf of the Poor People’s Campaign.
Barber demanded elected officials better financially help their constituents, while also calling on constituents to speak up for others with empathy.
“When you get up, you get up high. You get up with a bigger heart. You get up with more compassion,” said Rev. Barber.
A core push by Rev. Barber is for Kentucky to raise its minimum wage, which sits at $7.25/hour.
“We’ve not raised the minimum wage for 14 years. Fourteen years. Everything else has gone up,” said Rev. Barber. “Prices have gone up. Productivity and workers have gone up. Congresspeople’s salaries have gone up. Workers, low wage workers have stayed the same.”
This year’s meeting focused on uplifting the voices of BIPOC Kentuckians and facing existing structures that have hindered the ability for all Kentuckians to succeed.
“Because we have come up through a white supremacist structure, we really have to reckon with matters of race in order to advance toward that goal,” said Joan Brannon, co-executive of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.
Tomorrow, Rev. Barber will speak in Louisville.

FUKUOKA, Japan -- Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time - 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum - wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
"I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I've already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight," she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
"I'm pretty tough on myself," she said. "But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace."
The 800 was Ledecky's second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
"It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women's 200 backstroke. McKeown's victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
"You can't change the rules," she said. "I got ruled out. It's just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn't do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive."
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjstrm of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjstrm's individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps' mark.
Sjstrm also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
"There are not too many secrets," Sjstrm said about her longevity. "Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble."
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year's world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo - 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event. | https://abc11.com/swimming-katie-ledecky-michael-phelps-world-championship-gold/13570659/ | 2023-07-30T02:50:12 | 0 | https://abc11.com/swimming-katie-ledecky-michael-phelps-world-championship-gold/13570659/ |

The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women’s 200 backstroke. McKeown’s victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
“You can’t change the rules,” she said. “I got ruled out. It’s just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn’t do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive.”
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjöström of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjöström’s individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps’ mark.
Sjöström also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
“There are not too many secrets,” Sjöström said about her longevity. “Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble.”
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year’s world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo — 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event. | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed | 2023-07-30T02:50:18 | 1 | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed |
Los Angeles sheriff’s academy recruit who was struck by SUV on training run dies
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s recruit who was struck by an SUV during a training run last year has died, authorities said.
Alejandro Martinez fought for his life for the past eight months, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said late Friday.
“Tragically, he was not able to fulfill his calling of helping others,” the department said in a statement. “He will forever live in our hearts & never be forgotten.”
About 75 recruits, from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and several local police agencies, were running in formation on a street in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier last November when an SUV veered into them. Twenty-five cadets were injured.
The SUV driver had been identified as a 22-year-old man from suburban Diamond Bar who suffered a minor injury. He was initially arrested for investigation but authorities later released him on grounds that more investigation was needed. His attorney said he has no animosity toward law enforcement and that it was a tragic accident.

Jonathan Taylor requests trade after meeting with owner Jim Irsay at Colts practice, source says
WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday night.
Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ, has been seeking a contract extension before his rookie contract expires at the end of this season and he’s been one of several running backs to publicly air their grievances throughout the offseason.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the request hadn’t been made public. NFL Network first reported Taylor’s request to be traded.
It came shortly after Taylor left team owner Jim Irsay’s motorhome after a meeting that lasted nearly an hour as the Colts conducted a night practice.
“It was just a good conversation and, you know, hopeful going forward,” Irsay told reporters after practice. “We’re looking forward to a great season, hoping that Jonathan’s a big part of that and I think we had a good conversation.”
Taylor has not spoken with reporters since being placed on the physically unable to perform list Tuesday. General manager Chris Ballard said then the Colts wanted to wait for a new deal until they could see how a healthy Taylor fit the new offense installed by first-year coach Shane Steichen.
Taylor topped the 2,000-yard mark twice in college at Wisconsin and rushed for 2,980 yards and 29 TDs in his first two NFL seasons. He was a unanimous All-Pro selection in 2021, when he led the league with 2,171 total yards and tied for the league lead in total touchdowns with 20.
Last year, he rushed for 861 yards despite missing six games with an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. Indy also struggled, finishing the season 4-11-1.
Irsay posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday suggesting some player agents were acting in bad faith by complaining about how much running backs earned with a franchise tag designation after the collective bargaining agreement was negotiated in good faith. The $10.1 million price tag is the lowest of any position other than kickers or punters.
On Saturday, in front of a capacity crowd at Grand Park in Westfield a staff member took Taylor to the nearby motorhome. Irsay did not divulge details of the meeting afterward, but did talk about two other former Colts star runners — Marshall Faulk, who was traded after Peyton Manning’s rookie season in 1998, and Edgerrin James, who left as a free agent between the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
“I’m responsible for everyone on the team and to look at the cap money as you go forward,” Irsay said. “It’s a great responsibility and you try to be as fair as you possibly can be with the whole football team. So again, I’m hopeful.”
Now the Colts may be looking to move Taylor before he even gets a chance to team up rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in April.
“We need to make sure he (Taylor) is healthy, and we expect he should have an outstanding year,” Irsay said. “(Linebacker) E.J. Speed had the same surgery and is doing well, but it’s early in the process and we want to make sure Jonathan is 100%.”

Rangers get Scherzer from Mets in all-in blockbuster from surprise AL West leaders, AP source says
The Texas Rangers acquired three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer in a blockbuster trade with the New York Mets on Saturday night, an all-in move for the surprise leaders in the AL West, a person with knowledge of the deal said.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been announced.
The Rangers added the 39-year-old Scherzer with another former Mets pitcher with Cy Young credentials, two-time winner Jacob deGrom, sidelined by Tommy John elbow surgery, possibly all the way through the end of next season.
According to multiple reports, the deal nets New York one of the top Texas prospects in infielder Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr.
As part of the deal, Scherzer agreed to opt in on the final year of his contract in 2024 at $43 million, according to reports that also said the Mets were paying about $35 million of the remaining $58 million on the right-hander’s contract.
The Mets, one of baseball’s biggest disappointments, unloaded Scherzer two days after sending closer David Robertson to Miami for two minor leaguers.
New York began the season with the highest payroll in baseball at $353 million but started the day 17 games behind Atlanta in the NL East and 6 1/2 games back in the wild-card race.
The next question is what the Mets will do with Justin Verlander, another three-time Cy Young winner signed through next season. There should be plenty of suitors for the 40-year-old right-hander.
Texas has emerged from six consecutive losing seasons to lead the AL West all but one day in three-time World Series champion Bruce Bochy’s first season as manager.
The Rangers made the first notable move of this trading season by getting once-dominant closer Aroldis Chapman from Kansas City in June. Chapman has stayed in a setup role with Will Smith handling most of the closing duties.
Now Texas has bolstered the rotation knowing deGrom might be out until Scherzer’s contract expires at the end of next season.
The trade for Scherzer came on the same day the Rangers said they were again bumping back the next start for All-Star right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Bochy said Eovaldi had a sore elbow, but the club doesn’t think it’s serious.
The Rangers added deGrom in the offseason on a $185 million, five-year contract, knowing there was risk in signing the oft-injured right-hander.
He lasted just six starts — all Texas wins — before elbow issues sidelined deGrom for a month. It took multiple MRIs to determine the extent of the damage to his elbow, and the Tommy John procedure in June was the second of his career. The other was in rookie ball with the Mets in 2010.
“I think we need to improve as a starting rotation,” Bochy said before the Rangers’ game at San Diego on Saturday night, as reports of the trade were circulating. “I think that’s fair to say.”
Scherzer (9-4) was leading the Mets in victories but had his highest ERA (4.01) since 2011 with Detroit. The eight-time All-Star started Friday at home against Washington, allowing one run in seven innings in a 5-1 New York victory.
With 210 career victories, Scherzer is third among active pitchers behind Verlander and Kansas City’s Zack Greinke.

Lowrider car show rolls into Scottsdale
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - Car owners and enthusiasts rolled into Scottsdale to check out the Lowrider Car Show on Saturday. The event was held at Westworld and was all about cars, celebrating their artistry and culture. Car owners brought out their lowriders, showing off all their hard work, including custom paint jobs.
Some say shows like these are a time for them to share their passion with their family. “It’s actually a tribute to my wife. She went through brain tumor cancer, so if you look at it, there’s little ribbons here and there, and that’s she’s actually here right now. And she picked out the colors and stuff, so that’s what it’s all about,” said Michael Contreras, an El Camino owner.
The main event at the show was a bouncing competition where cars got some serious air as contestants competed to see how their hydraulics stacked against other drivers.

The Delaware County Court of Common Pleas is significantly reducing the bail retention fee for defendants.
At 40%, those fees are among the highest in Pennsylvania. These hidden costs can place a burden on impoverished people in the criminal justice system.
The bail retention fee is the portion of an individual’s posted bail that is not returned to the defendant at the end of their case. For example, an accused person who posted $1,000 bail would need to pay $400 in bail retention fees under the existing rules.
These fees must be paid regardless of whether someone is proven innocent or their charges are dropped.
President Judge Linda A. Cartisano issued an administrative order this week where defendants will now be charged a flat fee of $25 plus 3% of the first $1,000 of bail and 2% of any amount above that threshold. This means that on a $1,000 bail, a defendant would pay $55 instead of $400 in retention fees. The new rule takes effect Aug. 13.
In an announcement released on Friday afternoon, Delaware County officials applauded the measure as a sign of collaboration across all levels of county government.
“This rule change will have a real and practical benefit for many in Delaware County who are involved in the criminal justice system,” Councilmember Kevin Madden said in a written statement. “A disproportionate number of people in the criminal justice system are low-income. We should not be incarcerating based on who can or cannot afford to walk away from 40% of their posted bail.”
Delaware County Council unanimously approved a recommendation to adopt the new rule and the Delaware County Criminal Justice Advisory Board unanimously approved it.
“Bail is not supposed to be a punishment or a tax,” Delaware County Public Defender’s Office First Assistant Lee Awbrey said in the press release. “A grandmother posting $1,000 to keep her grandchild out of jail before trial should not get only $600 back when the case is over. This is an example of good government at work.”
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said the change in bail fees might not make headlines but called it “a superb example of our elected officials working together to solve a problem.”

WASHINGTON — Pamela Smith's voice soared and quivered like a preacher in midsermon as she recalled her troubled childhood and how it helped prepare her for the challenges she faces as the new police chief in the nation's capital.
"I stand before you as a child who had no hopes, who had no dreams — they were far beyond my reach. But I believe that all things are possible," she said at her introductory news conference in Washington, in cadences honed by years as an ordained Baptist minister. "I believe I bring a fresh perspective, a different kind of energy, a different level of passion to what I'm going to do."
Smith takes on the job at a precarious time.
Violent crime is rising sharply, fueled by more homicides and carjackings. The District of Columbia's mayor, Muriel Bowser, and the D.C. Council have, at times, been at odds about crime legislation. On Capitol Hill, the Republican-led House has begun citing the city's crime statistics while aggressively reviewing local public safety laws.
On July 24, the Mexican Consulate posted a tweet urging its nationals to "take precautions" in the city due to "a significant increase in crime in areas previously considered safe."
Smith, 55, now becomes one of the public faces of this long-term fight even before the Council votes on her nomination as chief. She brings an inspirational story to her new role leading the Metropolitan Police Department. Raised in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, by a single mother who battled substance abuse, Smith and her siblings were at one point removed from their home and spent time in foster care. Smith emerged as a track star and went on to a 24-year career in the U.S. Park Police, where she served as the agency's first Black female chief before retiring in 2022 to take up a senior leadership position at the MPD.
Law enforcement and government officials repeatedly point out that overall crime numbers in Washington have stayed relatively stable. But the crimes that have increased the most — murders and carjackings — are the ones most likely to damage public confidence.
"The scariest crimes are going up and regardless of what's happening with other crimes, that's what's going to fuel the overall perception," U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves told The Associated Press.
Graves' office prosecutes most felonies in Washington, in a unique arrangement due to the district's status as a nonstate. The city's attorney general's office prosecutes misdemeanors and juvenile crime, which is also on the rise.
This intricate dynamic among two separate sets of prosecutors, the city's police force, Bowser's administration and the Council has been publicly tested as the crime numbers have stayed high — all with Congress taking an increasing interest in the district's affairs. Public safety was a primary topic of debate last year when Bowser, 50, successfully ran for a third term in office. She has spent this term sparring with both the Council and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee over how best to address crime.
July has been a particular bloody month, with 22 homicides as of Friday, including murders on the campuses of both Howard and Catholic universities. The victims include an Afghan man who survived years of working as a translator for the U.S. Army in Afghanistan only to be murdered in America while driving for Lyft. Nine people, including two children, were shot at a July Fourth party, when an assailant in an SUV opened fire on the crowd. A 12-year old girl remains hospitalized after being shot in the back Tuesday night by a bullet that penetrated the walls of her home.
Although the local murder rate is well below the levels in the 1980s and early 1990s, when Washington regularly led the nation in murders per capita, it has climbed steadily in recent years. In 2022, there was a roughly 10% drop in homicides, but now, homicides are up 15 percent compared with this time a year ago and the city is on pace to surpass 200 for the third year in a row. Police also reported 140 carjacking incidents in the month of June — the highest monthly total in more than five years.
Crime in Washington is now a national headline issue in Congress. In the spring, Bowser and Council members were summoned before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee for a heated session on local crime rates.
Congress voted to completely overturn the Council's comprehensive rewrite of the district's criminal code. Bowser was caught in the middle of the dispute. She had vetoed the overhaul, saying the reduction of maximum penalties for certain violent crimes "sent the wrong message," but was overridden by the Council.
The mayor opposes congressional intervention in local affairs as part of Washington's long push for statehood, but her initial veto was frequently cited by Republican lawmakers as proof that the rewrite was soft on crime. In an embarrassment for the heavily Democratic city, the move to cancel the criminal code revision drew support from dozens of congressional Democratic and was signed into law by President Joe Biden.
Earlier this month, the Council, with Bowser's support, passed emergency public safety legislation meant to serve as a temporary fix. The bill makes it a felony to fire a gun in public and makes it easier for judges, in cases where people are charged with a violent crime, to detain them before trial. As an emergency bill, the changes will only last 90 days and will not be subject to congressional review; plans to make the changes permanent in the fall will face scrutiny by lawmakers.
"It is no secret … to the public that we are in a state of emergency right now," said Brooke Pinto, the D.C. Council member who was the bill's architect. "Like in any emergency, we have to act like it and we have to act urgently to address the problem we're seeing."
But some pushing for a criminal justice overhaul said city lawmakers were reverting to mass incarceration policies that had long ago been discredited.
"We're way beyond thinking that we can just incarcerate more people," said Patrice Sulton, executive director of the D.C. Justice Lab, who helped draft the now-canceled criminal code revision. "I think everybody who voted for it knows that it will not have an impact."
The local branch of the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement on Twitter that the new bill "essentially flips due process on its head — treating people as guilty and detaining them."
All sides point to one primary factor fueling the violence: a flood to firearms entering Washington.
Graves, the district's federal prosecutor, said the number of guns being used in crimes has skyrocketed, turning petty disputes into deadly battles. This includes a new wave of "ghost guns" — firearms that can be ordered in kits and assembled at home. Other kits can easily turn a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic, enabling a rapid-fire and generally less accurate spray of dozens of bullets. In 2018, authorities recovered three such guns; in 2022, the number was 461.
Graves compared the illegal guns to "a virus" in the neighborhood.
"The more virus there is in the community, the more people are going to get sick," he said. "The more illegal firearms are in the community, the more likelihood those illegal firearms are going to be used." | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/violent-crime-is-rising-in-the-nations-capital-dc-seeks-solutions-as-congress-keeps-close/article_b64aaeba-2e40-11ee-b469-2b4e9d283aeb.html | 2023-07-30T02:52:33 | 1 | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/violent-crime-is-rising-in-the-nations-capital-dc-seeks-solutions-as-congress-keeps-close/article_b64aaeba-2e40-11ee-b469-2b4e9d283aeb.html |

2023 ND pronghorn hunting season will have a lot fewer opportunities for hunters due to harsh winter
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s big game biologists recently completed the annual aerial survey for pronghorns.
The 2023 pronghorn hunting season will have a lot fewer opportunities for hunters compared to 2022.
“In 2022, we had just over 1,900, I believe. And then in 2023, we’re at about 420. So a major decline in licenses,” said Bruce Stillings, North Dakota Game and Fish big game supervisor.
And it’s no big surprise why pronghorn populations decreased during this year’s aerial survey.
“The winter of 2022-23 is going to go down as being one of those historic winters. Anybody that’s been following pronghorn populations over time knows when we get those extreme winters, it’s not good for deer and especially not good for pronghorn, and that’s exactly what we saw this past summer doing our surveys,” said Stillings.
Overall, pronghorn numbers from this year’s aerial survey are down 40% in North Dakota.
“Pronghorn farther north didn’t do as well as pronghorn down south. North of the Missouri River, pronghorn were down 60%. The northern badlands, north of Medora, as a whole, were down 53%. South of Medora, in the southern Badlands, down 31%. And then Bowman area, in the extreme southwest, down 15%,” said Stillings.
Stillings said even though numbers are down, each hunting unit had pockets with good numbers of animals. However, it’s going to take a little help from Mother Nature and good habitat conditions to get this population heading in the right direction.
“So, this summer, we have great habitat conditions. Pastures look great, hay fields look great, crops look great, stock dams are full. So the resources available this summer going into the winter are very good,” said Stillings.
Eight of the 17 pronghorn hunting units will be open for this year’s season.

FUKUOKA, Japan — Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time — 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum — wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
“I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I’ve already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight,” she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
“I’m pretty tough on myself," she said. “But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace.”
The 800 was Ledecky’s second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
“It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women’s 200 backstroke. McKeown’s victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
“You can’t change the rules,” she said. “I got ruled out. It’s just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn’t do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive.”
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjöström of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjöström’s individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps’ mark.
Sjöström also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
“There are not too many secrets,” Sjöström said about her longevity. “Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble.”
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year’s world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo — 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed | 2023-07-30T02:55:14 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/nation-world/katie-ledecky-passes-michael-phelps-for-most-individual-golds-at-world-championships/507-a7750f56-2a2d-4696-8048-afe9293dc5ed |
ORLANDO, Fla. — A judge in Florida on Friday refused to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Gov. Ron DeSantis appointees against Disney’s efforts to neutralize the governor's takeover of Disney World’s governing district.
The judge in state court in Orlando denied Disney's motion in the lawsuit that says the company wrongly stripped appointees of powers over design and construction at Disney World when it made agreements with predecessors, who were supporters.
The case is one of two lawsuits stemming from the takeover, which was retaliation for the company’s public opposition to the so-called Don’t Say Gay legislation championed by DeSantis and Republican lawmakers. In the other lawsuit, in federal court in Tallahassee, Disney says DeSantis violated the company’s free speech rights.
The governor has touted his yearlong feud with Disney in his run for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, often accusing the entertainment giant of being too “woke.” Disney has accused the governor of violating its First Amendment rights.
Attorneys for Disney had argued that any decision in state court would be moot since the Republican-controlled Legislature already has passed a law voiding agreements that the company made with a prior governing board made up of Disney supporters that gave design and construction powers to the company.
The entertainment giant had asked that the state court case be put on hold if it's not dismissed until the federal lawsuit in Tallahassee was resolved since they covered the same ground and that lawsuit was filed first.
In that case, Disney sued DeSantis and his appointees to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District in an effort to stop the takeover, saying the governor was violating the company’s free speech and “weaponizing the power of government to punish private business.”
DeSantis wasn’t a party in the state court lawsuit.
The fight between DeSantis and Disney began last year after the company, facing significant pressure internally and externally, publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades, a policy critics call “Don’t Say Gay.”
As punishment, DeSantis took over the district through legislation passed by Florida lawmakers and appointed a new board of supervisors to oversee municipal services for the sprawling theme parks and hotels. But before the new board came in, the company made agreements with previous oversight board members who were Disney supporters that stripped the new supervisors of their authority over design and construction.
In response, DeSantis and Florida lawmakers passed the legislation that repealed those agreements.
Disney announced in May that it was scrapping plans to build a new campus in central Florida and relocate 2,000 employees from Southern California to work in digital technology, finance and product development. Disney had planned to build the campus about 20 miles (30 kilometers) from the giant Walt Disney World theme park resort. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/regional/florida/judge-refuses-to-dismiss-desantis-lawsuit-against-disney/67-efffbc0e-b0a5-42cc-831c-3389f0437ef0 | 2023-07-30T02:55:20 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/regional/florida/judge-refuses-to-dismiss-desantis-lawsuit-against-disney/67-efffbc0e-b0a5-42cc-831c-3389f0437ef0 |

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento County Sheriff's Office deputies are looking for a man who is suspected of kidnapping a woman in South Sacramento who was eventually found safe.
Sgt. Amara Gandhi with the sheriff's office says the man, 39-year-old Marvin Holloway Jr., allegedly dragged his girlfriend into a car on Enrico Boulevard around 1 p.m. He then allegedly forced her to drive the car.
The woman was found in Del Paso Heights along with the car involved, but not Holloway, according to officials. The woman is safe but has minor injuries and is cooperating with officials.
Officials thought he was in a home in Del Paso Heights, leading to a law enforcement presence, but he was not found there.
Holloway is now wanted on suspicion of domestic violence and kidnapping charges. Officials do not know if he is armed.
Officials are asking anyone with any knowledge about where Holloway is to call 911 or report the tip anonymously through crime stoppers online HERE. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/south-sacramento/sacramento-sheriff-search-for-man/103-2de2d978-b910-41ea-9186-3814946fcc78 | 2023-07-30T02:56:00 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/south-sacramento/sacramento-sheriff-search-for-man/103-2de2d978-b910-41ea-9186-3814946fcc78 |

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — The United States heads into its final group match at the Women's World Cup with questions swirling about the team's tactics.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski started the same lineup against Netherlands on Thursday that he rolled out for the opening match against Vietnam. While it was enough for the United States to beat the Vietnamese 3-0, it was less successful against the stronger Dutch, and the Americans settled for a 1-1 draw.
That lineup had never played together before the World Cup.
The tie meant that the United States will likely need a more decisive outcome on Tuesday against Portugal to finish atop Group E and secure a favorable path in the knockout round. Going into the game, advancing out of the group wasn't a given for the two-time defending World Cup champions.
In addition to the same starters, Andonovski made just one substitution in the game against the Dutch, bringing on midfielder Rose Lavelle to start the second half. But no fresh legs were subbed in even after players showed fatigue. Forwards Lynn Williams and Megan Rapinoe remained on the sidelines.
He was asked about the strategy afterward.
“I just didn’t want to disrupt the rhythm at that point because sometimes a substitute comes in and it might take a minute or two to get into a rhythm,” he said. “We just didn’t want to jeopardize anything because I thought all three of our forwards were very good, dangerous, created opportunities and were a handful.”
It was the first time that the United States had made just one or fewer substitutions in a World Cup game since 2007.
Known in 2019 for jumping on World Cup opponents early, the Americans did not score against the Dutch until the second half when they were already down 1-0.
Lavelle is one of the team's top midfielders and made an immediate impact in the game — boosting the energy and feeding the attack — and the United States looked like that 2019 championship team again. She served up a corner kick to Lindsey Horan, angry about getting knocked down by a Dutch player moments before, for the game-tying goal in the 62nd minute.
Lavelle had a knee injury going into the World Cup and hadn't played since April. She's been on a minutes restriction and Andonovski has been starting Savannah DeMelo, one of the teams' 14 players making their first-ever appearance in the World Cup.
DeMelo hadn't played in a match with the national team until the send-off game against Wales in San Jose, the day the team departed for the World Cup.
“I think we weren’t in sync," midfielder Andi Sullivan said. “That happens, and we were able to adjust and respond. Hopefully, we can do that earlier in the future. And I think that’s also a great strength of this team -- we have lots of different ways we can do that together.”
Andonovski said the team can build off that second half against the Dutch in Wellington.
“Even though it didn’t finish the way we wanted to finish I thought it was a very good match for our team and especially for a group of young players. They grew throughout the game, individually, but also as a team we grew throughout the game as well,” Andonovski said. “I’ve said this before, this team is not just young. This team is also a fresh team that hasn’t spent a lot of minutes together. What you saw in the second half is what you’re going to see going forward as a best baseline. I think that we’re just going to get better from game to game and we’re gonna be a lot more efficient as well.”
Portugal fell 1-0 in its opening match against the Dutch, then defeated Vietnam 2-0 on Thursday in Hamilton. The victory knocked Vietnam out of the next round.
The United States sits atop Group E, even on points — four — with the Netherlands but edging the Dutch on goal differential. Portugal, third in the group with three points, could leap in front of the U.S. with a win at Auckland's Eden Park.
The Dutch play Vietnam in an earlier game Tuesday in Dunedin.
Telma Encarnacao and Kika Nazareth each scored in the match against Vietnam, which made history as Portugal's first win in its first World Cup appearance.
“We are aware of what awaits us, but we are focused on ourselves, which is very important,” Nazareth told reporters at training on Saturday. “We will enter the field respecting the opponent, with humility, but always with character and personality. The work will be there, the talent is there. And I think you also always need a little bit of luck. It’s believing.” | https://www.abc10.com/article/sports/soccer/us-faces-portugal-with-womens-world-cup-future-still-up-in-the-air-knockout-stage/507-6403953b-33b2-4d89-b452-919cd9f37dac | 2023-07-30T02:56:12 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/sports/soccer/us-faces-portugal-with-womens-world-cup-future-still-up-in-the-air-knockout-stage/507-6403953b-33b2-4d89-b452-919cd9f37dac |
Entertainment companies hiring AI specialists amid Hollywood strike
Concerns about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the entertainment industry have played a significant role in the ongoing Hollywood strike by actors and writers. That hasn’t stopped companies with studios from staffing up with AI specialists.
While the strike by actors and writers reflects a broader set of concerns beyond the impact of AI on the entertainment industry, including pay and benefits, the threat posed by the emerging and increasingly sophisticated technology has raised alarm.
Actors have expressed fears about AI being used to replicate an actor’s image and likeness without the actor’s consent, while writers have pushed for limits on the use of AI to write or rewrite scripts.
At a rally in Times Square hosted by SAG-AFTRA this week, actor Bryan Cranston delivered remarks aimed at Disney CEO Bob Iger.
NETFLIX IN SWEET SPOT DESPITE HOLLYWOOD STRIKE
"We will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots. … We will not have you take away our right to work and earn a decent living," Cranston said. "And, lastly and most importantly, we will not allow you to take away our dignity."
Despite concerns raised by the actors and writers on strike, the seemingly inexorable rise of AI and the need to stay on the cutting edge of emerging technology has resulted in entertainment studios continuing to seek out AI specialists against the backdrop of labor unrest. Several studios have active listings for AI and machine learning roles that have garnered attention amid the strike.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
Netflix has several job postings related to AI and machine learning on its website, including a product manager role first noticed by The Intercept that lists a pay range of $300,000 to $900,000 annually.
The listing states that the product manager would "define the strategic vision" for Netflix’s machine learning platform and work to "increase the leverage" of that platform across the company.
One notable AI and machine learning listing from Disney’s careers website is for a senior vice president role related to postproduction and innovation for Disney Branded Television, which produces content for children and families.
The posting for the role, which offers a salary between $270,500 to $371,900, seeks applicants who can "champion the constant evolution of our tools and processes across all aspects of the development pipelines. Be on the leading edge of technology developments, like Artificial Intelligence, and work to deliver solutions to improve processes like speed-to-market, content quality, efficiency and cost."
A job posting at Sony spotted by The Hollywood Reporter seeks a senior research scientist and manager who specializes in AI ethics, specifically how they relate to fairness, transparency and accountability.
The role, which lists a salary range of $170,000 to $210,000, would help manage a multinational team of research scientists based in the U.S., Japan and Switzerland that executes "ambitious AI projects." The AI ethics manager would also "provide advice and consultation for business units on AI ethics, managing cross-functional stakeholder relationships."
