NEW YORK (AP) — They Might Be Giants singer-guitarist John Flansburgh was seriously injured in a car crash this week while being driven home from the alternative rock band’s first gig on a pandemic-delayed tour, prompting the postponement of shows at least until late August.
Meanwhile, the driver of the car that police said instigated the wreck has been arrested on drunken-driving and other charges.
The collision happened early Thursday in Manhattan’s East Harlem neighborhood.
Writing from a hospital bed, Flansburgh told fans he was taking a car service home from Wednesday’s show at Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom when the car was T-boned, flipped onto its side, and started smelling of motor oil and smoke.
According to police, the driver who was arrested ran a red light, jumped a curb and plowed into the gate of a housing complex, hitting two cars along the way.
It’s not immediately clear whether the 26-year-old driver has an attorney who can comment on the charges, and no telephone number could immediately be found for his Bronx home.
Everyone in all three cars were taken to hospitals, police said. Flansburgh, 62, wrote that he suffered seven broken ribs, some of them fractured in multiple places.
Formed in the early 1980s by Flansburgh and John Linnell, They Might Be Giants rose to fame with clever, catchy songs and a not-afraid-to-be-geeky persona. Known for tunes including “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” “Boss of Me” and a version of the quirky 1953 tune “Istanbul (Not Constantinople),” the duo went platinum with the 1990 album “Flood.” The new tour is a belated celebration of the disc’s 30th anniversary.
“It was so wonderful to finally be back up on stage and playing for all of you again,” Lindell wrote to fans in a message announcing that the remaining June dates are postponed. The band hopes to resume the tour Aug. 30 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, he said.
Flansburgh wrote that even as he sat in a CT scanner shortly after the accident, he was thinking about how to get back on the road.
“Someday we will rock again — and for me, that day couldn’t come soon enough,” he wrote. But for now, “I will be watching reruns of ‘Sex in the City’ until I am strong enough to reach the remote.
“Wish me luck,” he added. “I’m going to need it.”

(The Conversation) – Some nights the Moon seems really close and bigger than usual.
One summer evening when I was a child, I remember being mystified and then startled at a huge round shape slowly creeping up behind my friend Nancy’s house, which sat on a hill on the other side of our village.
At some point I suddenly realized it was the Moon, and I ran yelling through the garden to tell my dad and get him to come and see. It was bigger than a house, deep orange in color and surely of great significance. My dad muttered something about perspective and went back to gardening or playing the piano.
Unconvinced, I kept watching the Moon. Later, once the Moon had risen higher in the sky, it was back to looking like its usual self.
Welcome to what astronomers like me call the Moon illusion.
It can be hard to believe that it is just an illusion when the Moon looks huge, but it is true. You can actually test the illusion yourself and even capture it with a camera.
A trick of the mind
Astronomers have discussed the Moon illusion for centuries, and there are some facts they all agree on.
People mainly notice the Moon looking bigger and closer when it is full and near the horizon. This is because your mind judges how big or small an object like the Moon is by comparing it with other, familiar things.
Imagine you are standing outside close to your house. Your house will look big, and if the Moon rises next to it, the Moon will look normal. If you look at a house from far away, though, the house looks very small.
The illusion comes from the fact that the Moon is so far away that no matter where you are on Earth, the Moon always looks the same size. It is actually the things your mind compares the Moon with – a house, a mountain or anything else – that look bigger or smaller depending on how far away from them you are. So when the Moon rises next to a distant house or a faraway mountain, the Moon looks enormous.
Photographers use this trick to take spectacular images of distant objects with the Moon behind them. People often experience the Moon illusion on vacations when they go to wide-open spaces. This may be why big Moons become powerful memories of happy times.
Atmospheric zoom and changing orbits
There are several convincing-sounding but wrong explanations for the Moon illusion. Most are grounded in some truth, so they persist.
First is the idea that the atmosphere acts like a lens and magnifies the Moon. When the Moon is near the horizon, its light has to travel though much more of the Earth’s atmosphere than when the Moon is directly overhead. It’s true that all that air acts like a giant prism and bends the rays of light, distorting the color and shape of the Moon. But it does not act like a magnifying glass.
Next is the idea that on some nights the Moon really is closer. The Moon’s orbit is not perfectly circular – it’s more like an oval shape, called an ellipse – so the Moon does get nearer and farther away over the course of a month.
When the close part of the orbit coincides with a full moon, it’s called a supermoon. But when the Moon is closest to Earth, it is only about 12% to 15% closer than when it is farthest from Earth – too small a difference to explain the Moon illusion. It is hard to notice a 15% difference in size by just looking at the Moon alone in the sky.
Testing the illusion
It’s easy to test the Moon illusion, and you can do it yourself. Next time you see the Moon looking huge and closer than usual, hold out your hand with a straight arm. Then close one eye and see which finger tip just barely covers the Moon – for me, it’s my pinkie finger. Wait a little while until the Moon moves higher into the sky and try the experiment again. The Moon may look smaller, but your same finger will cover it just the same. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/why-does-the-moon-look-close-some-nights-and-far-away-on-other-nights/ | 2022-06-11T16:25:09Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/why-does-the-moon-look-close-some-nights-and-far-away-on-other-nights/ | true | 19 |
‘Not bossy!’ Princess Charlotte's 'like Kate' with her subtle corrections to 'avoid drama'
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE has been described as "her mother's daughter" by a body language expert to analyse her behaviour when she corrected her brothers on numerous occasions over the Jubilee weekend.
Princess Charlotte shakes her fist at Prince Louis during pageant
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis appeared several times across the Platinum Jubilee weekend alongside their parents Prince William and Kate Middleton. On a few occasions, the youngest Cambridge child stole the show with his funny faces and energetic behaviour. But it was Princess Charlotte who displayed royal duty beyond her years. Express.co.uk spoke to body language expert Judi James who explained more.
Judi said: “Charlotte showed how much her mother’s daughter she is over the jubilee celebrations, not only staying close to Kate, holding her hand at times and even chatting and laughing together like friends as they watched the final pageant.
“But also showing she is beginning to job-share with her mother the duties of keeping an eye on her two brothers as well.
“It’s very sweet to see her confidence grow in public and to see her acting like school prefect, even standing up in the carriage to bend and peer into Camilla’s handbag as though she had been assigned security duties as well.
“Like her mother she is developing an aura of calm and quite firm authority as she deals with both her older and younger brothers.”

The expert continued: “There are no signals of bossiness from her.
“It is a testament to both her natural authority as well as her skill of keeping the small corrections and nudges subtle enough to avoid drama or tantrums that both boys seem to naturally fall into line initially, even though Louis might try to sneak another wave or hand-clap after Charlotte has urged him to stop.
“Both William and Kate look very relaxed about watching Charlotte in this role of helper and almost seem to encourage the delegation.
“When it was Charlotte who spotted the way that George was holding his arms too far forward as they stood for the anthem on the balcony, William barely glanced down at the pair, suggesting high levels of trust in his daughter’s skills to spot a problem and correct it.

“Kate didn’t seem to notice that Louis was putting his fingers into his mouth in the royal box but Charlotte did.
“She then mimed what she had been correcting after Kate asked what had happened.
“And in the carriage it was Charlotte pushing Louis’ hands back down into his lap when she felt he was waving for too long.
“Like Kate, Charlotte also seems to dishing out hugs and affection as well,” Judi added.

“When his parents and siblings returned from their visit to Wales we could see Louis running into his mother’s arms for a cuddle but it looks as though the next person he turned to for a hug was his sister Charlotte.
“Her nudging and correcting body language looks sweetly similar to the rituals the Queen Mother used on her small daughters in public.
“And Charlotte looked every bit as alert to anything other than regal behaviour from her siblings during this long and possibly challenging weekend in the public eye.
“Her role seems like a reflection of the very caring and empathetic side that Charlotte has also shown recently, throwing glances of concern at first Beatrice as she sobbed during the memorial service and then the Queen as she stood beside her on the balcony.
“Her smile as she approached and listened to fans in the crowd showed some genuine concern and empathy could be replacing her initial symptoms of shyness,” Judi suggested.
Judi has written 26 fiction and non-fiction books covering a range of subjects boosting your confidence to improving flirting techniques, tips on how to win a poker game, and titles include The Body Language Bible.
She also runs training courses & keynote seminars in business on the subjects of body language, charisma, empathy, stress and lifestyle, customer care, personal image skills, motivation skills, communication skills, managing through change and mingling and networking. | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1624060/Princess-Charlotte-bossy-Kate-Middleton-subtle-corrections-body-language-Jubilee-weekend | 2022-06-11T16:30:10Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1624060/Princess-Charlotte-bossy-Kate-Middleton-subtle-corrections-body-language-Jubilee-weekend | true | 1 |
Secret Service Takes Down Protester Who Rushed Biden's Motorcade While Screaming Pro-Abortion Messages
The Secret Service made short work of a one-woman protest Wednesday as President Joe Biden visited Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas.
Biden’s motorcade was making its way through Los Angeles when a woman with a megaphone emerged from the crowd on the side of the street.
She walked out to within a few feet of where the cars were passing by.
That is, until a Secret Service agent came along and grabbed her, dragging her away from the motorcade as she tried to fight him off.
As the protester resisted, the agent tackled her to the pavement.
“Get the f*** off me!” she could be heard saying during a video of the incident.
“An abortion ban will not stop abortions — only safe ones!” the woman yelled.
Video of the incident was posted on Twitter by KTTV-TV reporter Hailey Winslow.

A tweet from the far-left People’s City Council – Los Angeles denounced the action and the president himself.
“Completely unnecessary response and assault by secret service,” it tweeted. “F*** Joe Biden.”
Some agreed with that first assessment; others did not.

She approached the motercade. She could have been armed, a suicide bomber, or whatever. Taking her down seems quite logical. I’m surprised she got as close as she did.
— Cameron Mitchell (@ftdatl) June 9, 2022
Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, issued a statement about the incident, according to Fox News.
“Shortly after 5 p.m., an adult female entered a restricted roadway along a motorcade route on Chick Hearn Ct in Los Angeles,” the statement said.
“As the woman approached passing vehicles, a United States Secret Service agent swiftly removed her from the roadway and placed her into custody. There was no impact to the motorcade movement or our protectees. Our investigation into this incident is ongoing,” the statement said.
The Summit of the Americas is a meeting of leaders of Western Hemisphere democracies.

Andy Murray through to Stuttgart final with straight sets victory over Nick Kyrgios
Andy Murray makes it through to first grass singles final since winning Wimbledon in 2016 after defeating Australian Nick Kyrgios; it was a milestone win for the Scot as he reaches a 70th career final and his 10th on grass, where he has an almost flawless record of 8-1 in finals
Last Updated: 11/06/22 5:12pm
Andy Murray made it through to his first grass-court final in six years after defeating Nick Kyrgios 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 in Stuttgart on Saturday.
Murray, who claimed his first victory over a top-five player for more than five years by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals, continued his stunning run in Germany by demonstrating his prowess on grass in defeating Australian Kyrgios.
"It has been a long time since the last final [on grass]. A lot of ups and downs, but I kept going and kept working and finally managed to get to another one," Murray said in his on-court interview after he improved his record on grass to 114-23. "I am proud of the effort I have put in.
"I was just a little more solid in the tie-break. I asked the questions. On these courts, when it is playing quick, the set often comes down to one or two points and I was a little more secure at the end of the first set."
Murray's route to the Stuttgart final
1R: O'Connell 6-4 6-3
2R: Bublik 6-3 7-6 (7-4)
QF: Tsitsipas 7-6 (7-4) 6-3
SF: Kyrgios 7-6 (7-5) 6-2
The first set went with serve before Murray took it with his second set point of the tie-break.
A frustrated Kyrgios, who skipped the whole clay-court season, broke his racket in anger and earned himself a point penalty after dropping the set and he was still fuming when the second set got underway as double faults allowed Murray to break for the first time in the contest.
The Australian, who was constantly complaining to the umpire, then received a game penalty and he refused to continue playing, sitting in his chair until the supervisor came out and convinced him to finish the match.
But by then the world No 78 had lost his focus and made numerous errors as Murray quickly wrapped up the second set and sealed his spot in the final on his second match point when Kyrgios' return found the net.
The 35-year-old Scot will be aiming to clinch a ninth career title on grass when he takes on Matteo Berrettini in Sunday's final after the Italian edged Germany's Oscar Otte 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-5) to reach his first tour-level final of the season.
"I am really happy. Arriving at the tournament, that was the goal [to reach the final]," Berrettini said. "From thinking about it and actually making it is a big difference. I am happy I am here and have another chance to play another final after months without playing and after the first big surgery in my career.
"This means this is my level and I have proved once again I am comfortable at this level and on this surface. I really like it here at Stuttgart."
Murray, currently the world No 68, will move up to No 47 in the ATP Live Rankings following his victory over Kyrgios.
The three-time Grand Slam winner also reached the championship match in Sydney in January, with his last tour-level title coming in 2019 in Antwerp.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Donald Trump endorsed Katie Britt on Friday in an Alabama U.S. Senate race, doubling down on the former president’s decision to spurn his previous choice in the Republican primary.
Trump called Britt “an incredible fighter for the people of Alabama.” The former president had originally backed U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks in the race, but rescinded that endorsement in March after their relationship soured.
Britt was chief of staff to retiring U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby before stepping down to lead a state business group, and is now running to fill Shelby’s vacant seat. Britt and Brooks face off in the June 21 runoff that will decide the Republican nominee.
“Above all, Katie Britt will never let you down,” Trump wrote, adding, “she has my complete and total endorsement!”
The decision was another blow to Brooks, who had sought to regain Trump’s support. “Mo has been wanting it back ever since,” Trump said Friday of his endorsement, “but I cannot give it to him! Katie Britt, on the other hand, is a fearless America First Warrior.”
Trump endorsed Brooks last year, rewarding the conservative firebrand who had been an ardent supporter of Trump’s false 2020 election fraud claims. Brooks had whipped up a crowd of Trump supporters at the Jan. 6, 2021, rally that preceded the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
But Trump pulled that endorsement, citing Brooks’ languishing performance in the race. He also accused Brooks of going “woke” for saying at a Cullman rally that it was time to move on from litigating the 2020 presidential election and focus that energy on upcoming elections instead.
Britt led the primary field in the May primary, and has been seeking Trump’s support since he backed away from Brooks.
Trump’s glowing endorsement of Britt is a stark contrast to statements he made a year ago about her when he called her “not in any way qualified” and describing her as an “assistant” to a “RINO Senator,” referring to Shelby as a “Republican in name only.”
Britt said Friday that she was thankful to have Trump’s support. “President Trump knows that Alabamians are sick and tired of failed, do-nothing career politicians,” she said in a statement. “It’s time for the next generation of conservatives to step up and shake things up in Washington to save the country we know and love for our children and our children’s children.”
Despite losing Trump’s endorsement in March, Brooks had continued to campaign under the label of “MAGA Mo,” a reference to the Make America Great Again slogan, and had challenged Britt to a debate on the singular topic of whether the 2020 election was “stolen.”
Brooks tweeted Friday that the voters of Alabama will decide the race.
“Let’s just admit it: Trump endorses the wrong people sometimes,” Brooks wrote, noting that a Trump-endorsed candidate lost the 2017 Senate race in Alabama.
Trump has a mixed record in this year’s midterm elections.
He burnished his kingmaker status last month by lifting a trailing Senate candidate in Ohio, JD Vance, to the Republican nomination. And in Pennsylvania, Republican voters narrowly chose Trump’s Senate pick, celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, as well as his preferred gubernatorial candidate, Doug Mastriano, who said he wouldn’t have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 win of the state.
However, voters in Georgia rejected Trump’s efforts to unseat the state’s Republican governor and secretary of state, both of whom rebuffed his extraordinary pressure to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. That has raised questions about whether Republican voters are beginning to move on from Trump, ahead of another possible White House run. | https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/trump-endorses-katie-britt-alabama-gop-senate-race-ditching-mo-brooks-rcna33119 | 2022-06-11T16:36:49Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/trump-endorses-katie-britt-alabama-gop-senate-race-ditching-mo-brooks-rcna33119 | false | 27 |

Chennai, Jun 11 (PTI) Having returned to competition last year after serving a doping ban of four years, Manpreet Kaur smashed her own national record to steal the limelight on the second day of National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships here on Saturday.
Star sprinter Hima Das and her Assam team-mate Amlan Borgohain won the women's and men's 100m dash gold respectively by the thinnest of margins as they became the fastest woman and man of the championships.
The 31-year-old Kaur, who was handed a four-year ban from July 2017 after testing positive on four occasions that year, hurled the iron ball to a distance of 18.06m in her fourth attempt. She became the first Indian woman to cross 18m in shot put.
Kaur's earlier national record was 17.96m set in 2015. She has breached the Athletics Federation of India's qualifying standard of 17.76m for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
Kaur had recorded a massive 18.86m performance in 2017 but that was erased from the record books after the dope flunk. The gold she won in the 2017 Asian Championships was also stripped off.
She had returned to action in September last year with a third-place finish in the National Open Championships.
Kiran Baliyan of Uttar Pradesh was a distant second with 16.85m while Maharashtra's Abha Khatuawas third with 16.69m.
Hima beat national record holder Dutee Chand, clocking 11.43 seconds, her personal best over the distance. Dutee, representing Odisha, was one-hundredth of a second behind Hima with 11.44s.
Veteran Srabani Nanda, also of Odisha, was third with a time of 11.53s. Dutee's national record stands at 11.17s. The qualifying standard set by Athletics Federation of India for the Commonwealth Games is 11.31s.
"This is my best moment. It's special because I have been inspired by the likes of my senior Dutee and I was able to do well against her," she said.
Hima holds the national record in 400m with a time of 50.79.
Borgohain, who holds the national record in 200m (20.52), clocked 10.47s to win the 100m dash, one-hundredth of a second ahead of Elakkiyadasan K (10.48) of Tamil Nadu. Harjit Singh of Punjab was third in 10.55.
Rookie Haryana quartermiler Kiran Pahal, who has run the second fastest time (51.84s)of the season at the state championships last month, took the women's gold with a time of 52.47 while another up and coming athlete, Rupal Choudhary of Uttar, won the silver in 52.72. R Vithya Ramraj of Tamil Nadu took the bronze in 53.78s.
"I don't know what to say. I am happy that I won gold but at the same time I am not satisfied as I had come to qualify for the World Championships. My target was 51.35s," Kiran said after winning gold.
One of the gold medal favourites, Priya Mohan did not start as she was not well. The qualifying standard for the World Championships, to be held in Eugene, USA from July 15 to 24, is 51.35.
M Sreeshankar expectedly won the gold in men's long jump with an effort of 8.23m while Muhammed Anees Yahiya (8.15m) and R Swaminathan of Tamil Nadu (7.89m) were second and third respectively.
Sreesankar's national record stands at 8.36m. He has already qualified for the World Championships and breached the AFI standard for the CWG.

Charles Leclerc on Azerbaijan Grand Prix pole, with Lewis Hamilton seventh
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took his sixth pole position in eight races this season with a scintillating lap at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Leclerc saved the best for last with his final lap, beating Red Bull's Sergio Perez by 0.282 seconds.
Perez beat team-mate Max Verstappen with his final lap, by just 0.065secs.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz was quickest after the first runs in final qualifying but a series of mistakes on his final lap left him fourth.
Leclerc continued his status as Formula 1's qualifying king this year, despite errors on his key laps in the first and second sessions which had held back his ultimate potential.
- Full qualifying results
- Hamilton and Vettel will continue to speak out
- How to follow the Azerbaijan GP on the BBC
But he strung it all together when it mattered for his second consecutive pole position in Baku.
"All pole positions feel good but this one I did not expect it because I thought Red Bull were stronger," Leclerc said. "Especially Q1 and Q2 I struggled to see we were faster but then in Q3 I managed to do a good lap."
Leclerc needs the win
Leclerc has not managed to convert a pole into victory since the third race of the season in Australia, since when he has seen a 46-point championship lead turn into a nine-point deficit to Verstappen.
Red Bull have taken four consecutive victories in that time - but two of them have come after an engine failure that cost Leclerc victory in Spain and a strategy foul-up that dropped him from first to fourth in Monaco.
Leclerc said he was hopeful that the car upgrade Ferrari introduced in Spain would allow them to compete for victory with Red Bull on Sunday.
"I am really excited for tomorrow," he said. "Tyre management is a big thing here. And our race pace has done a step up since we brought the upgrades."
Perez felt pole might have slipped through his fingers, as an engine problem in the garage meant he left the pits late and did not have the benefit of a slipstream on his final lap.
The same applied to Verstappen, who had been due to be towed by Perez but had to go out on his own after the technical problem.
Verstappen said: "The start of the lap was good and then it went away from me a bit, tiny mistakes. Not what I want but being second and third we have a good opportunity for tomorrow.
"We seem to lack a little bit on the one lap but over a long run our car should be quite good."
George Russell was best of the rest for Mercedes in fifth place, split from team-mate Lewis Hamilton by Alpha Tauri's Pierre Gasly and 0.212secs.
Team boss Toto Wolff said Hamilton was trying an experimental set-up that did not work and cost performance.
And Hamilton faces an investigation for driving unnecessarily slowly during the second part of qualifying, which could yet yield a penalty.
Alpha Tauri's Yuki Tsunoda was eighth, ahead of Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel and the Alpine of Fernando Alonso.
McLaren's Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo were 11th and 12th. Norris faces the same investigation as Hamilton - the younger Briton was behind the Mercedes at the time. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/61770865 | 2022-06-11T16:51:13Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/61770865 | false | 3 |

Wonkette's Top Ten Stories Of The Week Are A French Pineapple
Hello!
I am feeling a lazy this week, so it is entirely possible that I have given you this gift before, but Google doesn't seem to think I did. It's a show we had to watch in French class about a French pineapple and a pilot and some other stuff. I don't know, I really just remember the terrifying beaked pineapple. It is the reason why the only thing I can say in French these days is "Je suis un ananas," which is of course very helpful (I kid, I can also ask where the library is and talk extensively about love being a bird, not regretting stuff, and lollipops).

Two transgender activists wearing black dresses were allegedly arrested near the venue of a function at Kaloor here that was attended by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday.
"Can't I wear my black churidar?" asked one of the transgender persons, who claimed that she was at the Kaloor Metro Station to board a train.
"It's my right to wear the dress I prefer. Am I not allowed to wear a black dress just because the chief minister is here," she said.
The incident involving transgender persons was not an isolated one as there were reports of restrictions on black masks at the venue in the wake of the state-wide protests led by Congress.
The protests were staged in the wake of gold smuggling case-accused Swapna Suresh's recent revelations linking the chief minister and his family to the case.
Media persons were initially asked to use light-coloured surgical masks. However, the restriction was withdrawn following objections raised by the media.
Black flags had been waved at the chief minister's convoy at various places by Congress activists, who were later arrested. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/11/kerala-cm-pinarayi-vijayan-function-kochi-transgender-persons-wearing-black-dress-arrested.amp.html | 2022-06-11T17:20:50Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/11/kerala-cm-pinarayi-vijayan-function-kochi-transgender-persons-wearing-black-dress-arrested.amp.html | true | 2 |
Arrow star Stephen Amell and his wife Cassandra Jean 'welcome second child named Bowen into their family'
Stephen Amell and his wife Cassandra Jean have reportedly welcomed their second child together.
The news about the 41-year-old Arrow star and his spouse was revealed by TMZ, who noted that their baby's name was Bowen and that the child was born in Los Angeles last month.
The happy couple also shares a daughter named Maverick, aged nine, whom they brought into their lives in 2013.
Happy dad: Stephen Amell and his wife Cassandra Jean have welcomed a new child into their lives; he is seen in 2018
The media outlet also pointed out that the child was likely born via surrogate, as Jean, 36, did not appear to be visibly pregnant at a music festival this past April.
The performer, his wife and eldest child had also attended an event just a few days before Bowen's birth.
Before becoming involved with his current wife, Amell was married to Carolyn Lawrence.
The former couple tied the knot in 2007, although they went on to end their relationship three years later.

He went on to begin a relationship with Jean, whom he married during a wedding ceremony that was held in the Caribbean in 2012.
The pair went on to hold a second wedding ceremony in New Orleans the following year.
The happy couple started a family with Maverick's birth, which occurred a year later.
Amell and Jean have since added Bowen to their lives, although they have not shared any photos with their new baby as of yet.

She elevated her height in a pair of strappy black heels and sported minimal makeup, letting her youthful beauty shine through.
Co-star Tanisha Gorey, who plays Asha Alahan, looked spectacular in a black full length gown, which boasted a daringly high slit to show off her toned legs.
Ryan Prescott, who played Ryan Connor in Corrie and Flynn Buchanan in fellow soap Emmerdale, scrubbed up well in a black suit.

The British Soap Award returned live to ITV for the first time in two years after the 2020 and 2021 ceremonies were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fancy footwear: Elle elevated her height in a pair of strappy black heels and sported minimal makeup, letting her youthful beauty shine through
In its place in 2020, ITV instead aired a 60-minute special titled The British Soap Awards Celebrates 21 Years, narrated by long-running presenter Phillip Schofield.
This year, host Phillip, 60, welcomed a plethora of soap stars to London's Hackney Empire, where they'll battle it out to scoop prizes in 14 categories.
The awards are either voted for by a panel of expert judges or the public, with fans able to choose their favourites for Best British Soap, Best Leading Performer and Best Family categories.
Meanwhile, it was reported earlier this year that The British Soap Awards opted to axe the male and female categories.
Instead of Best Actor and Actress, stars from much-loved British soaps will battle it out for the newly-created new Best Leading Performer award.
The move follows The Brits which scrapped gender classifications this year, with Adele beating Ed Sheeran to Artist of the Year.
Wow: Tanisha Gorey, who plays Asha Alahan, looked spectacular in a black full length gown, which boasted a daringly high slit to show off her toned legs
Dressed to the nines: Joe Frost, who plays Leo Thompkins in Corrie, looked debonair in a black tuxedo
Past winners of the Best Actress award include Lucy Pargeter (who plays Chas Dingle in Emmerdale), Lucy Fallon (who plays Bethany Platt in Coronation Street) and Charlotte Bellamy (who plays Laurel Thomas in Emmerdale).
It follows the award for Sexiest Male and Female, voted by the public, being axed in 2015.
The five biggest soaps - Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - will be battling it out to win recognition for their work over the past year.
Handsome: James Craven, who plays newcomer Aaron, looked dapper in a navy blue suit and white shirt
Debonair: Ryan Prescott, who played Ryan Connor in Corrie and Flynn Buchanan in fellow soap Emmerdale, scrubbed up well in a black suit
And after a stellar year of drama-filled storylines, the competition is set to be firece.
Coronation Street will no doubt be hoping to scoop gongs for their harrowing hate crime storyline which saw Seb Franklin and Nina Lucas attacked, ultimately resulting in Seb's death.
While over on Emmerdale, serial killer Meena Jutla's long reign of terror could bag the Leeds-based soap an award or two.
Dashing: Bill Fellows, who plays Stu in Coronation Street, looked handsome in a dark blue suit
Eye-catching: Craig Tinker actor, Colson Smith, looked very smart in a blue checked jacket, with grey trousers and a bright orange tie
Glam: Rebecca Ryan, who plays Lydia Chambers in Corrie and Gemma Dean in Casualty, looked very glamorous in a white lacey number, that boasted a corsetted top, and added a touch of sparkle with some glittery heels
Speaking of serial killers, EastEnders saw viewers on the edge of their seats as murderer Gray Atkins continued to avoid being arrested for his crimes - until justice finally caught up with him.
While Hollyoaks saw Summer Ranger (Rhiannon Clements) set out to destroy Brody Hudson (Adam Woodward) for his role in her father's death.
Meanwhile Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) and his wife Karen's (Jan Pearson) relationship was left in the balance in Doctors.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Spero Therapeutics securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Spero Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6561 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the data submitted in support of the New Drug Application ("NDA") of Tebipenem HBr, an oral carbapenem-class antibiotic to treat complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis for adults, were insufficient to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval; (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that the FDA would approve the Tebipenem HBr NDA in its current form; (3) the foregoing would necessitate a significant workforce reduction and restructuring of Spero Therapeutics's operations; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Spero Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6561 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Lakes Area News: Proposed Milford project resurrecting countywide airport discussions
MILFORD, Iowa (KUOO) - Proposed plans by the Spirit of Okoboji group for a residential, athletic and family entertainment complex on the northwest side of Milford have revived talks over a countywide airport in Dickinson county.
The Milford airport lies right in the middle of the proposed site, and the project hinges on the airport being sold to the group. It was revealed at an informational meeting Wednesday evening that an organization has been formed to look into possible options.
”We’ve had talks with airport users in the community, pilots, people that fly up here for the weekend; people that have planes here and house them here; with the Milford Airport Board; the Spirit Lake Airport Board, I don’t think that’s quite the right title for them, which I apologize, and really looking for other community members that are interested in what happens for air travel in Dickinson county. Not only in Milford but for the Spirit Lake Airport which is located in Okoboji,” said Barry Sackett, Chairman of the Okoboji Airport Foundation.
Sackett says the discussions so far have been pretty informal, but he says they have been in contact with a consultant regarding possible location options and alternatives.
The Milford City Council agenda shows they will be discussing the airport on their June 13th meeting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s administration has scrapped former President Donald Trump’s red, white and blue design for the new generation of presidential aircraft after an Air Force review suggested it would raise costs and delay the delivery of the new jets.
Boeing is currently modifying two Boeing 747-800 aircraft that will bear the Air Force One callsign when the president is onboard to replace the existing fleet of two aging Boeing 747-200 aircraft. Trump, in 2018, directed that the new jumbo jets shed the iconic Kennedy-era robin’s egg blue and white design for a deeper navy and streak of dark red.
The Trump paint scheme is not being considered because it could drive additional engineering, time and cost, according to an administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the program.
Politico first reported that the Air Force study of the new paint job had concluded that the dark shade of blue Trump proposed for the plane’s underbelly and engines would have created heating issues for the aircraft, requiring costly redesigns and additional delays to the already behind-schedule program. The current generation of planes first carried President George H.W. Bush.
When he was in office, Trump kept a mockup of the new presidential plane in the new color scheme on a coffee table in the Oval Office.
“The baby blue doesn’t fit with us,” he told Fox News in 2019 after earlier unveiling sketches of his ideal redesign for the plane’s exterior.
Trump’s design utilized the colors of the American flag. The top half of the plane would be white, while dark blue would cover the bottom half, including the belly. A bold red stripe would streak from cockpit to tail across the midsection — almost identical to the color scheme on Trump’s personal plane, except that the white and blue were reversed.
The administration did not formally unveil a new design for the replacement aircraft, which are currently at a Boeing plant in San Antonio undergoing extensive modifications to prepare them to carry the president. They currently sport a simple white and blue paint job with U.S. Air Force markings as the work proceeds.
Formally known as the VC-25B, the new aircraft are estimated to replace the older VC-25A planes in 2026, years behind schedule. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/biden-nixes-trump-design-for-air-force-one-over-cost-delay/ | 2022-06-11T17:45:20Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/biden-nixes-trump-design-for-air-force-one-over-cost-delay/ | false | 33 |
Light shines on port communities
Subscribe newsletter
A new exhibition of artworks commissioned by the project ‘Ports, Past and Present: Cultural Crossings between Ireland and Wales’ has opened at Ceredigion Museum.
The project considers five very different ports and their communities on either side of the Irish Sea: Dublin, Rosslare, Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock. It aims to increase visitor numbers and enhance the tourist experience in the five communities, as well as raise awareness locally of the ports’ natural and cultural heritage and their importance to future economic growth.
The project’s leader is Professor Mary-Ann Constantine from the University of Wales Trinity St David’s Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies.
She said: “The work in this exhibition comes from twelve separate commissions, and ranges from poetry and story-collecting, to radio script, sculpture and ceramics, animation, photography and film. Combining thought-provoking words and images, these works reflect the richness of life on, beneath and beside the waves through time. We hope that this exhibition will inspire future journeys of curiosity.”
The artists involved in the exhibition are Rua Barron, David Begley, Zillah Bowes, Gillian Brownson, Kathy D’Arcy, Jon Gower, Robert Jakes, Julie Merriman, Peter Murphy, Augustine O Donoghue, Marged Pendrell, Hannah Power, Peter Stevenson and Jacob Whittaker. Creative Connections across the Irish Sea is at Ceredigion Museum until 25 June, before moving on to venues in Rosslare, Pembroke Dock, Dublin, Fishguard and Holyhead.
More information about their work for ‘Ports, Past and Present’ can be found on the project website: https://creative-connections.pubpub.org/
The museum is open Thursday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. Wheelchair access is possible to most parts of the site. However, due to the historic nature of some of the buildings, some access may be difficult. There is a lift to all floors.
Accessible toilets are available on the ground floor, shop and TIC. All Assistance Dogs are allowed in the museum.
This project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Cooperation programme and jointly run by University College Cork and Wexford County Council in Ireland, and the University of Wales Trinity St David and Aberystwyth University in Wales.

When workers began trickling back to the central city earlier this year, many felt there had been an explosion in the number of homeless people on the streets.
Downtown restaurants and retailers complained of yelling and altercations at night and worried about rising crime rates.
Business leaders and politicians called for the city to be "cleaned up". In one extreme example, mayoral candidate Leo Molloy suggested blasting "undesirables" with high-powered hoses to move them on.
In reality, the number of rough sleepers in the central city is relatively low - around 30 or 40 people in the area around Queen St, according to the Auckland City Mission.

Advertise with NZME.But there is a more complex situation with regard to emergency housing in the CBD.
There are hundreds of tenants in what have been called "Covid motels". Homeless people from all over Auckland were brought into the CBD in March 2020 and rushed into emergency accommodation during the pandemic to keep them safe.
One housing advocate suggested that some of these tenants were "using the street as their living room" because their hotels, motels and apartments were isolated or had no living spaces. That had created a perception of a much broader problem.
Auckland City Missioner Helen Robinson said there was no evidence of a big increase in rough sleepers in the CBD. She was also deeply uncomfortable about linking crime rates to homelessness.
"What I'm a bit anxious about is that we don't conflate people's experience of being unsafe with people who are experiencing homeless - the two are actually quite separate."
There is no up-to-date or official data on homeless numbers in Auckland. A point-in-time survey in 2018 found a minimum of 3674 people living without shelter across the Auckland region, of whom around 800 were estimated to be on the street.
The most detailed study of housing deprivation, by University of Otago, found 18,157 living in "severe housing deprivation" in Auckland. That included 3624 people who were sleeping rough or living in cars or improvised shelters. However, that is based on 2018 census data and is believed to be an underestimate.
In April, there were 981 households in Auckland in emergency housing, though it is not known how many were in the central city.

Advertise with NZME.Emergency housing is expensive and temporary, and social support for tenants is patchy. Homeless can also be placed in transitional housing, which lasts for three months or in permanent homes through Housing First or public housing. Demand is far exceeding supply for all of these options.
Aaron Hendry, youth housing team leader at the charity Lifewise, said if political and business leaders focused on "cleaning up the streets" they would fail. To tackle homelessness, they needed to address the root causes: poverty, inequality and unaffordable housing.
"Yes, we've got work to do in our community," he said. "But it doesn't start by moving people from one community to another, it starts by actually saying how do we actually invest in our people and ensure that everyone has what they need to thrive within society and this community?"
Hendry said one immediate solution would be to place more social workers and support staff within emergency accommodation. This was trialled by Lifewise at one hotel, and was useful in assisting young people to return home or find permanent homes.
The Auckland City Mission began housing homeless people in its new Homeground facility on Hobson St last month. The striking, wooden-framed, 11-storey building has 80 apartments for homeless, and 24-hour health and social services.
It was not big enough alone to solve the homeless situation in the CBD.

Advertise with NZME."I could fill it three times over," Robinson said.
She said the solution was twofold: more "appropriate housing" - affordable, healthy and in the right location; and more health and social services for those who present with mental health, addiction or trauma.
Another huge development on Greys Ave, run by Kainga Ora, will provide 200 new state homes with 24-hour support, including 80 dedicated apartments for rough sleepers.
The facility was scheduled to open at the end of the year. A Kainga Ora spokeswoman said the opening has now been delayed until early 2023 because of labour and material problems caused by Covid-19.
While emergency housing has kept many people off the street, it is not seen as a long-term solution. And there are concerns that emergency housing tenants could be displaced by tourists, students and commuters returning to the CBD.
Robinson said that so far there had been little impact, but she expected a rise in homeless numbers later in the year.

Advertise with NZME.Ramon Aranui has been homeless off and on for five years. In that time, he has battled a drug addiction and spent time in prison, he said.
He was placed in emergency housing on Day St in the central city in 2019. But he said it was insecure and stressful because he had to re-apply every week for a grant to pay for his room.
Aranui had now been given a permanent one-bedroom flat through the Housing First programme, with the assistance of Lifewise. He came alive when speaking about the difference in his housing situation.
"It's awesome," he said, pulling down his mask to be heard more clearly. "Really, really awesome."
But he still likes to spend time on the street, where he can be around other people. When the Herald spoke to him, he was resting against one of the concrete pillars at the base of the Sky Tower, a popular congregation point for homeless people. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/homelessness-in-the-auckland-cbd-has-it-got-worse-and-what-can-be-done-to-fix-it/PJPVOBNNZD2C2GXBPUCIPWUBT4/ | 2022-06-11T17:53:31Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/homelessness-in-the-auckland-cbd-has-it-got-worse-and-what-can-be-done-to-fix-it/PJPVOBNNZD2C2GXBPUCIPWUBT4/ | true | 3 |
US Marshals: 3 arrested for killing student in Lebron James-founded school parking lot
AKRON, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - The U.S. Marshals Service announced three men have been arrested for the death of a student who was beaten outside LeBron James’ I Promise School.
Ethan Liming, 17, was found dead around 10:30 p.m. on June 2 in the school parking lot after his friends called 911, according to Akron police.
WOIO reports that U.S. Marshalls arrested 21-year-old Donovon Jones, 19-year-old Tyler Stafford and 20-year-old Deshawn Stafford Jr.
Authorities said they tracked the three suspects to homes in the area where they were taken into custody.
The Akron Police Department said Liming was knocked unconscious and brutally assaulted during a fight. Police Chief Stephen Mylett said the altercation began after Liming and three others arrived at the school parking lot and started firing a gel blaster gun at people on a basketball court.
The police chief also shared that through their investigation, the incident was not a hate crime.
On Saturday, officials with the U.S. Marshals and the city of Akron shared the following statements regarding the arrests:
“Ethan’s senseless and tragic death has touched every person in our community. These arrests would not have been possible without the dedication of our Akron Police Department and their collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force. They have worked around the clock on this case and I thank them for their tireless efforts. My thoughts and prayers remain with the entire Liming family at this time.” — Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan
“I am happy to report that today, officers with the Akron Police Department, made several arrests in connection with the death of Ethan Liming. We thank the members of the community for their outpouring of support that helped investigators throughout this investigation. We will continue to follow any leads that will result in bringing those responsible for Ethan’s death to justice. While I believe the news of the arrests will be welcomed by Ethan’s family and loved ones, we all recognize that nothing will bring Ethan back. Violence in this country must stop. We are losing too many lives to senseless acts of violence.” — Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett
“The U.S. Marshals Service will continue to provide all necessary resources to help our partners at the Akron Police Department to combat violent crime. This crime impacted an entire community and we stand alongside the community in seeking justice for Ethan.” — U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott
LeBron James’ I Promise School is a part of the Akron Public School District, serving students in third through seventh grades.
According to Akron Public Schools, Liming was a rising senior at Firestone Community Learning Center in the Academy of Design.

I can still remember how I felt when I first heard Sidhu Moose Wala’s music. It felt fresh, exciting and innovative.
When he arrived on the music scene five years ago with the uplifting track “So High” produced by Byg Byrd, it was the perfect marriage between the traditional sound of our Punjabi forefathers and modern hip-hop.
With sharp wit, boisterous and raw lyrics, and a melodic singing voice, the rapper/singer, born Shubdeep Singh Sidhu, captured the hearts of doting fans in Canada and abroad.
The year he debuted, I remember playing his music on repeat for all my friends — Punjabi and non-Punjabi — at an annual Christmas party (with a distinctively Punjabi flavour).
I remember the concierge desk worker asking us to turn down the music around 1 a.m. Coincidentally, he too was of Punjabi descent. He broke out into a few bhangra moves to Sidhu’s music, before making his request.
It was just a small example of how widespread and prevalent Sidhu’s music had become.
Of course, my friends and I were not the only ones who shared this opinion. In Punjabi communities across the Greater Toronto Area, his music could be heard blaring out of every car speaker, Indian restaurant, and hall party that I went to. He was the topic of conversation in newspapers, blogs and TikTok videos. He catapulted to fame.
Beyond his music, fans gravitated to his inspiring “underdog” story. As a young student from a poor village in Mansa, India, Sidhu immigrated to Brampton with the hopes of landing a job in electric engineering, and creating a better life for himself and his family back home.
Sidhu studied hard and provided for himself, but he still found time to pursue his calling in music. Against all odds, with limited industry connections or resources, Sidhu achieved his goal of becoming a famous musical artist.
Like Sidhu, my parents immigrated to Waterloo from India at a young age. Despite having university degrees, they found it difficult in the early ’80s to find employment in their respective fields.
Upon arrival, they worked part-time jobs in convenience stores and factories. Through hard work and sheer discipline, my father was able to move up in the automotive company that he worked in, and in just a few short years, become the assistant plant manager overseeing more than 500 employees.
This was no small feat: a turban-wearing Sikh running a major automotive plant was unheard of during those days. Many of his co-workers, who were predominately white, did not approve of his promotion.
He encountered intense racism and received death threats on a regular basis. I remember my dad recounting stories of co-workers tailing him home, calling him a “towel head,” and writing racist words in the men’s bathroom. Against all odds, my dad stayed the course and continued to achieve greater milestones in his career.
As a turban-wearing Sikh, I felt proud seeing Sidhu achieve the heights he did, all the while staying true to himself and his Sikh identity. He refused to cut his hair and remove his turban despite the promise of garnering more sponsorships and mainstream success.
And he continued to speak out against social injustices, including political corruption, the Indian farmer protests in 2021, and police brutality in Punjab, even when faced with opposition from powerful voices within politics and media.
Growing up in Waterloo, I faced my own share of struggles. During primary school, I was one of the only students in the area that wore a turban. I was bullied incessantly by kids in the schoolyard and excluded from playing games.
In my teenage years, things only got worse. During one particular incident, my older brother and I were physically assaulted by a racist construction worker, in full view of our entire high school.
In another jarring incident, a teacher referred to my turban as a “pom pom” and threatened to remove it.
After coming home on a few occasions crying, I remember having a painful conversation with my dad and asking him if I could cut my hair.
My dad sat me down and said, “I will support you in whatever you do. But just remember, today it’s your turban. Tomorrow, it could be your glasses or your clothes that they make fun of. You have to stand up and be proud of who you are.”
I am heartened to see prominent turban-wearing Sikhs like Sidhu achieve mainstream success and acceptability. He helped normalize the Sikh turban in mainstream culture, and in doing so, acted as a role model for Punjabi kids worldwide.
Critics will, undoubtedly, have an opinion regarding the lyrics in Sidhu’s music and his outspoken stance on politics. However, like other luminaries of our time, Sidhu was a complex person with many sides, which is reflective of who we all are as individuals.
To simply dismiss him would ignore all of the positive impacts that he had on an entire generation of new immigrants, Punjabi youth and the entire diaspora.
He made kids feel proud to say that they were Punjabi, and his outsized presence in popular culture forced those outside of the community to learn more about Sikhism.
This is Sidhu’s legacy — the outpouring of grief that you see around the world is reflective of all the lives that he touched. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it … “Dil da ni mada, tera Sidhu Moose Wala.” | https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/opinion/2022/06/11/as-a-turban-wearing-sikh-i-faced-racism-growing-up-sidhu-moose-wala-made-me-and-so-many-like-me-proud-to-be-punjabi.html | 2022-06-11T18:05:17Z | https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/opinion/2022/06/11/as-a-turban-wearing-sikh-i-faced-racism-growing-up-sidhu-moose-wala-made-me-and-so-many-like-me-proud-to-be-punjabi.html | true | 1 |

Tourism minister says travel delays could be resolved in a 'matter of weeks'
Canada’s Tourism Minister Randy Boissonnault says the federal government is focused on resolving the long delays travellers are experiencing at major airports in a “matter of weeks.”
Speaking to CTV’s Question Period, Boissonnault said he’s not pleased with the reports of Canadians waiting hours to get through regular travel checkpoints, specifically at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
“I’m going to be very blunt. I’m not happy with the situation. I don’t want Canadians waiting in lines. I don’t want international travellers stuck on the tarmac. We’ve got an issue, we need to fix it, and we’re leaning in on this hard,” he said.
Asked when travellers can expect to move with more ease, the minister said they’re working on getting the situation resolved before the arrival of the summer travel season.
“I want to see this done in a matter of weeks, not a half a year or a year…I want to make sure that this summer season is a summer season that people are going to remember for the experience that they have once they’ve left the airport, not a negative experience once they’re at the airport,” he said.
The federal government has sought to provide reassurance that the Canada Border Services Agency and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority are ramping up recruitment to be able to return to pre-pandemic staffing levels.
Individual airlines have also said they’re working on resolving staffing and scheduling hurdles.
However, Air Canada told CTVNews.ca that it intends to operate at 20 per cent less capacity this summer compared to its pre-pandemic summer schedule.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Ottawa said the vast majority of airports across the country are not seeing the same kind of delays as Pearson is but even then, recent improvements have been made.
“Only three per cent of all passengers at Pearson and Vancouver International Airport are now waiting more than 30 minutes in line,” reads the statement.
Opposition parties have called on the federal government to remove the remaining COVID-19 public health requirements at airports to alleviate what they call unnecessary pressure points.
On Friday, Transport Canada announced it was temporarily suspending mandatory randomized testing at all airports between June 11 and June 30 for the fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated travellers will still be tested on-site.
"The Government of Canada recognizes the impact that significant wait times at some Canadian airports are having on travellers. We continue to work with airports, airlines, baggage handlers, and other partners to implement solutions to reduce delays as we approach the summer peak season," a statement from the department reads.
As of July, all testing, including for unvaccinated travellers, will be performed off-site.
The federal government had already exempted international travellers with a connecting flight from random testing. Other measures, such as COVID-19 vaccine mandates and mandatory use of the ArriveCAN app, remain in place.
“We recognize that there is still work to be done, particularly for international arrivals at our largest airports, and we will continue to work with all orders of governments and partners to reduce the delays in the travel system,” the government said.

Russian shelling of the Azot chemical plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk caused a strong fire on Saturday after a leak of tonnes of oil, the regional governor said, as the battle for the city raged on.
Russian forces’ bid to seize Sievierodonetsk has become one of the bloodiest battles since their Feb. 24 invasion, with neither side delivering a knock-out blow in weeks of fighting that has pulverised chunks of the city.
The governor of Luhansk province, Serhiy Gaidai, did not say if the fire at the plant, where hundreds of civilians are sheltering, had been extinguished. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
Speaking on national television, Gaidai said non-stop fighting was raging in Sievierodonetsk, a small city in Luhansk that has become the focus of Russia’s advance in eastern Ukraine. He said earlier on Saturday that Russian forces controlled most of the city but Ukraine controlled the Azot chemical plant.
Ukraine has appealed for swifter deliveries of heavy weapons from the West to turn the tide of the war, saying Russian forces have at least 10 times more artillery pieces than Ukrainian forces. Yet even when outgunned, Ukraine’s army has proved more resilient than expected in the early phases of fighting.
President Volodymyr Zelensky struck a defiant note on Saturday.
“We are definitely going to prevail in this war that Russia has started,” Zelenskiy told a conference in Singapore via video link. “It is on the battlefields in Ukraine that the future rules of this world are being decided.”
After Russia was forced to scale back its initial more sweeping campaign goals, Moscow has turned to expanding control in the east, where pro-Russian separatists had already held a swathe of territory since 2014.
The eastern region known as the Donbas includes the provinces of Luhansk, where Sievierodonetsk lies, and Donetsk.
Russian strikes knocked out power supplies in Donetsk’s two largest Ukrainian-controlled cities on Saturday, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote on the Telegram app.
Speaking later on national television, he said the move was part of a deliberate strategy to cut off electricity in towns in Donetsk that remain in Ukrainian hands. “The enemy understands where he is hitting, and for what purpose,” he said.
GRAIN SHORTAGES
The conflict between the neighbours – two of the world’s biggest grain exporters – has reverberated well beyond Ukraine.
“If due to Russian blockades, we are unable to export our foodstuffs, which is so sorely missing in global markets, the world will face an acute and severe food crisis and famine – famine in many countries of Asia and Africa,” Zelenskiy told the Shangri-La Dialogue conference in Singapore.
The United Nations said on Friday up to 19 million more people in the world could face chronic hunger in the next year because of reduced wheat and other food exports.
Ukraine’s deputy agriculture minister said on Saturday up to 300,000 tonnes of grain may have been stored in warehouses in the Black Sea port of Mykolaiv that Kyiv says were destroyed by Russian shelling last weekend.
Turkey has tried to secure a deal so Ukraine can resume shipments from its Black Sea ports, which accounted for 98% of its cereal and oilseed exports before the war. But Moscow says Kyiv must clear the ports of mines and Ukraine says it needs security guarantees so it is not left exposed.
Ukraine has repeatedly called for more Western arms and closer alignment with the West.
“As Ukrainian forces use the last of their stocks of Soviet-era weapon systems and munitions, they will require consistent Western support to transition to new supply chains of ammunition and key artillery systems,” the Institute for the Study of War said in a report on Friday.
“Effective artillery will be increasingly decisive in the largely static fighting in eastern Ukraine,” it said.
The battle for Sievierodonetsk and its destruction recall weeks of bombardment of the southern port city of Mariupol. It was reduced to ruins before Russian forces took control of the city last month, with the last Ukrainian defenders surrendering from their redoubt in the Azovstal steel plant.
Moscow has denied targeting civilians, but both sides say they have inflicted mass casualties on each other’s forces.
Reuters has not been able to independently verify the battlefield reports in the conflict.
Russia calls its actions a “special military operation” to disarm and “denazify” Ukraine, while Kyiv and its allies call it an unprovoked war of aggression to capture territory.

Source: CCC activists bid to block exhibits fails | Herald (Crime)
Nyore Madzianike Senior Court Reporter
CCC members, Joana Mamombe and Cecelia Chimbiri, yesterday failed in yet another bid to block the State from tendering into court record, exhibits extracted from Econet outlining data usage and base stations which picked network on cellphones believed to belong to them.
Through their lawyer Mr Alec Muchadehama, the duo lodged an objection after prosecutor Mr Michael Reza applied to tender the documents through State witness Mr Godfrey Mangezi, in a matter they are accused of faking their abductions in May 2020.
Mr Mangezi is employed at Econet and he is the one who compiled the data which is being relied on as evidence by the State.
According to the State, the exhibits will prove that Mamombe and Chimbiri’s cellphones were in Harare at a time they claim to have been abducted.
In their objection, they claimed that Mr Mangezi had given the police a soft copy of the data usage and base stations not a hard copy, which the State wanted to tender.
They also said that there was no similarity between the two, despite the fact that the hard copy was printed from the soft copy that was handed to police by Mr Mangezi during investigations stage.
“We object to tendering of such because the witness said that he gave police a soft copy. The witness tendered a soft copy and we do not know what is in the soft copies.
“This is why we requested that we be favoured with soft copies and we compare with hard copies,” said Mr Muchadehama.
In responding to the objection, Mr Reza told the court that Mr Muchadehama had not raised any issues regarding the authenticity of the hard copies he wanted to tender into the court record.
“They did not doubt the authenticity of the documents. He will be given an opportunity to cross-examine the witness over the documents,” he said.
Chief Magistrate Mrs Faith Mushure ruled that Mr Mangezi should make a print-out of the soft copy he gave to the police and furnish Mamombe and Chimbiri for scrutiny before the State tenders them into the record.
In his testimony, Mr Mangezi indicated that the records extracted from Econet show that the two cellphone lines were browsing on various network platforms during the time they claimed to have been abducted.

Residents of Angwan Shai’u Area of Lafia, Nasarawa State, yesterday expressed concern over the inability of the state government to start their road project after demolishing 65 of their houses five years ago.
Findings had it that the demolition of the houses on water ways was done by the immediate past governor and senator representing Nasarawa South at the National Assembly, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura.
Narrating the agony that the inhabitants of the area have been passing through since the demolition of their houses in March 20, 2017, the Ward Head of the Area, Mr. Shia’u, said that flood has been the major problem they have been facing, adding that it has killed about six children so far.
Shia’u said that the 65 houses were demolished about five years ago, adding that each time it rains, locals usually watch their property being washed away by the flood.
His said: “Each time the cloud gathers, we use to be in fear of what will happen. We lost six children to flood in the area.”
The residents of the Angwan Shai’u,, therefore called on Governor Abdullahi Sule to come to their aid by constructing the road and fixing the bridge to avert future occurrence.
Another resident of the area, who is a Newspaper Vendor, Mr. Suleiman Iliyasu, called on the state government to help address their plight, noting that due to the demolition of the houses in the area, many of their property have been destroyed by the flood. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/06/09/lafia-residents-lament-abandoned-road-project/ | 2022-06-11T18:21:48Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/06/09/lafia-residents-lament-abandoned-road-project/ | true | 1 |
Javid suggests income tax cut should be brought forward if possible
Sajid Javid has suggested the Government’s planned income tax cut should be brought forward to next year, if circumstances allow.
In March, Chancellor Rishi Sunak pledged to cut the basic rate of income tax from 20p to 19p in the pound before the end of the current parliament, in 2024.
He said this was “fully costed”, and represented a “£5 billion tax cut for over 30 million people”.
Since then, pressure has continued to build on Mr Johnson from within his own ranks, with unrest over the partygate saga exacerbated by senior civil servant Sue Gray’s findings on the matter, and concerns over high levels of tax and spending.
This culminated in a bruising Tory revolt against Mr Johnson’s leadership earlier this week, with 148 of his own MPs voting against him in a confidence ballot.
Asked whether cuts in income tax could be brought forward to next year, Mr Javid told The Times that he knows the Chancellor will want to slash taxes “as soon as he can”.
“He set out a plan, and I’m sure he would agree that he would want to deliver on that as quickly as possible,” the Health Secretary said.
“And if that can be brought forward, of course, it should be brought forward.”
He argued the “best way” to finance public services was to have a “dynamic, low-tax economy that generates growth”.
“That growth will naturally lead to rising revenues for the state that can fund the services,” he said.
I know he (Sunak) will want to cut taxes as soon as he can
“I’m a low-tax Tory — it’s one of the reasons I’m a Conservative and I want to see a small state that focuses on delivery of the things that really matter. And I want to see taxes as low as possible.”
It comes after he added his voice to calls for tax cuts on Wednesday, saying he would “like to see us do more”.
Mr Javid acknowledged the pandemic had resulted in “challenges to the public finances” but told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I would like to see cuts where they’re possible.
“And I know that this is something the Government is taking very seriously and I know that it’s something that the Chancellor will look at.”
In an attempt to set his premiership back on track, the Prime Minister used a keynote speech on Thursday to reaffirm his commitment to cut taxes and set out plans to extend the right-to-buy.
Speaking in Blackpool, he said he wanted to reduce the tax burden sooner rather than later and slash the size of the state.
But he later refused to give further details of his tax-cutting plans, saying: “On what Rishi (Sunak) and I are talking about on fiscal measures, you are just going to have to contain your impatience there.”
Mr Johnson said that the Government was “strongly inclined to stimulate further growth, further productivity with tax cuts as and when they become sensible”.
He added: “The cost of housing is a big chunk of expenditure, transport is a big chunk, childcare’s a big chunk, energy is an ever-growing chunk but tax is the biggest of all and we certainly aim to get that down.”
In light of this week’s confidence vote, Mr Javid told The Times people will want to see “delivery” from the Tories.
The cost of housing is a big chunk of expenditure, transport is a big chunk, childcare’s a big chunk, energy is an ever-growing chunk but tax is the biggest of all and we certainly aim to get that down
“Most colleagues would agree, especially given what happened on Monday, that people want to see the Government boldly, radically taking on the challenges the country faces,” he said.
“People are going to want to see delivery. They want to see focus on Conservative issues.”
On Covid, he said Britain is now “properly post-pandemic”, and should be “proud” of how it tackled the crisis.
“Of course Covid is still out there,” he said.
“Covid is endemic like flu is and other viruses. Thankfully, it’s no longer a pandemic and we’ve got the tools to fight it.”

The 8-year-old Phillies fan caught on camera with hands pressed together and Phillies rally cap turned inside out before Stott hit his three-run homer Sunday with two outs in the ninth inning couldn’t believe his silent plea was answered.
“I wanted him to hit a home run,” said Caden Marge.
Fitting, of course, Marge’s prayers for Stott came as he rooted against the Angels.
Marge, his mom and dad, younger sister and several of his Little League teammates stood behind the batting cage Friday night and met Stott and teammates such as Kyle Schwarber before the Phillies played Arizona at Citizens Bank Park.
“I want to get the Phillies to sign stuff,” Marge said. “The whole team. And we’re going to get them to sign my hat!”
How about a bat? Stott, a 24-year-old rookie shortstop, autographed one his own bats, “To Caden. Thanks For The Help! Go Phils!”
Joe Marge and his family, from West Chester, Pennsylvania, attended their first Phillies game of the year Sunday in section 203 out in right field when TV cameras caught Caden praying and seemingly in tears, willing Stott to go deep. Stott won the game after Bryce Harper tied it with a grand slam in the eighth, and the Phillies rallied for a 9-7 victory.
“That’s just him being him. He lives and dies with every pitch, every score, any team,” Joe Marge said.
The kid’s reaction blew up around Philadelphia and throughout baseball and was noticed by Stott.
Stott first tweeted over a clip of the home run “The kid in the stands is unreal!!!” Joe Marge saw the tweet and reached out to the blossoming slugger with pop in his bat and power in prayer. Stott tweeted, “Awesome!! Send me a direct message and I’ll see if we can get you guys down to meet some of the guys during BP.”
They all met up on Friday.
The Marge family already had tickets — Caden’s Little League team is the Diamondbacks and they wanted to catch the big league team up close. The Phillies, though, invited everyone to watch from section 115 down the first base line.
Caden’s favorite player before the big swing was Harper. Now, it’s a tie with Stott.
The Marge family couldn’t believe their luck.
“We’re seeing it everywhere,” Joe Marge said. “People are using his face for reactions.”
Even better, the Phillies took a seven-game winning streak into the game — thanks in large part on a dinger and a prayer.

Federal judge strikes down Biden admin’s narrowing of ICE arrest, deportation priorities
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge on Friday struck down the Biden administration’s restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) which dramatically limits which illegal immigrants the agency can arrest and deport — marking the latest legal defeat for the Biden administration on immigration policy.
Texas Judge Drew Tipton, responding to a lawsuit filed by Texas and Louisiana which said the rules violated federal law, shut down the policy but stayed the implementation of the ruling for seven days to give the Biden administration time to appeal.
ICE ISSUES POLICY TO CONSIDER IMMIGRANTS’ MILITARY SERVICE BEFORE TAKING ENFORCEMENT ACTION
The administration in September issued a memorandum that made official prior guidance that limited ICE agents to focusing on three groups of illegal immigrants: Recent border crossers, threats to national security and threats to public safety. The agency has also told agents to consider factors like military service.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in his memo that it meant that just being in the country illegally was not enough to get arrested or deported by ICE — part of a dramatic overhauling of immigration policy by the Biden administration.
“We have fundamentally changed immigration enforcement in the interior,” Mayorkas declared in an interview with CBS News in January. “For the first time ever, our policy explicitly states that a non-citizen’s unlawful presence in the United States will not, by itself, be a basis for the initiation of an enforcement action.
Tipton, in his ruling, said that the government fell short in reconciling the guidance with federal law, which demands the detention in certain situations. He said the government “offers an implausible construction of federal law that flies in the face of the limitations imposed by Congress.”
“True, the Executive Branch has case-by-case discretion to abandon immigration enforcement as to a particular individual, he said. “This case, however, does not involve individualized decisionmaking. Instead, this case is about a rule that binds Department of Homeland Security officials in a generalized, prospective manner–all in contravention of Congress’s detention mandate.”
EX-ICE OFFICIALS PUSH BACK ON MAYORKAS CLAIM THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WILL BE DEPORTED ‘PROMPTLY’
Under the policy, arrests and deportations have plummeted. In FY 2021, which included the final months of the Trump administration, ICE arrested 74,082 noncitizens in FY 2021, and deported 59,011. Of the 74,082 arrests between October 2020 and October 2021, only 47,755 took place after Feb. 18 when the new priorities were implemented. Of removals, just 28,677 of the 59,011 deportations took place after Feb. 18.
In FY 2020, there were 103,603 arrests and 185,884 removals. In FY 2019 the agency arrested 143,099 illegal immigrants and deported 267,258.
The administration has said that due to limited resources, the policies allow for the government to focus on the most pressing threats to the country. An ICE report released earlier this year said that the agency arrested 12,025 illegal immigrants with aggravated felony convictions, nearly double the 6,815 arrested in FY 2020. Prior reports do not use the term “aggravated felon” and senior ICE officials have conceded that the definition of the term generally refers to more serious felons, but also differs in different jurisdictions.
Tipton said the government’s regulations were not just offering guidance to agents, as the government claimed, but instead “provides a new basis on which aliens may avoid being subject to the enforcement of immigration law.” It is therefore a rule and subject also to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) and therefore subject to certain conditions, like a notice-and-comment period.
The court ruling marks the latest defeat for the Biden administration on issues of immigration. Tipton himself has previously blocked a proposed 100-day moratorium on deportations, and earlier ICE rules last year.
Similarly, the Biden administration was recently dealt a blow when a federal court in Louisana struck down its attempts to end Title 42 — a public health order put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic which has been used to expel a majority of migrants at the border. The administration last year was also ordered to re-implement the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which it was found to have ended unlawfully.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called the ruling a “massive defeat for the Biden administration.”
“He tried to throw out immigration law, saying DHS didn’t have to detain criminal illegals. The court now says he must,” he tweeted. “I will always hold the line with the Dems and the rule of law.”

“Judge Tipton confirmed what we have argued all along: law and order must prevail,” Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said in a statement. “The Biden Administration can no longer allow dangerous and violent criminal aliens to roam free in our communities.”
Tipton’s order delays implementation by seven days to allow for an appeal by the Biden administration. A DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital that it is “currently assessing the court order and considering next steps.” | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-politics/federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-admins-narrowing-of-ice-arrest-deportation-priorities/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-admins-narrowing-of-ice-arrest-deportation-priorities | 2022-06-11T18:31:01Z | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-politics/federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-admins-narrowing-of-ice-arrest-deportation-priorities/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-admins-narrowing-of-ice-arrest-deportation-priorities | true | 2 |
This story about Matthew Goode first appeared in The Limited Series/Movies issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine. In the sixth episode of the Paramount+ limited series “The Offer,” “The Godfather” movie is finally in preproduction, the formerly outraged mafia has been pacified by some script changes, and Marlon Brando has signed on to star in the film for scale. But the rug is about to be pulled from beneath Paramount’s feet with parent company Gulf and Western seconds away from voting to sell the studio to a young oil tycoon. Before they can count the ayes, Bob Evans, played by English actor Matthew Goode, bursts into the room resplendent in a chic, late ’70s polyester business suit, oversized glasses and a trademark California bronze, and delivers the speech of his life, successfully persuading financially motivated execs to hold off on the deal and believe in the power of movies. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629343079419/how-peter-jackson-and-co-managed-to-get-back-to-basics-for-the-disney-beatles-doc | 2022-06-11T18:32:33Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629343079419/how-peter-jackson-and-co-managed-to-get-back-to-basics-for-the-disney-beatles-doc | true | 3 |
This is what winning looks like.
The Kansas City Royals will go for their fourth straight win against the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon. Baltimore’s Tyler Wells (2-4, 3.78 ERA) will face Kansas City’s Daniel Lynch (2-5, 5.36).
Kansas City has yet to win four consecutive games this season.
The Royals claimed their third straight win behind big nights from Salvador Perez, MJ Melendez and Jonathan Heasley on Friday night in the second game of a four-game series. Perez and Melendez each had a pair of hits, including a home run, and three RBIs as the Royals claimed an 8-1 victory. It marked the third straight game the Royals scored at least seven runs after achieving that total just eight times previously.
And Heasley had the best outing of his young career. He allowed no runs on just one hit in a career-high seven innings. He also struck out a career-high seven batters.
Wells is 1-0 with 1.08 ERA in four career appearances against the Royals. He has allowed just one run on six hits over 8 1/3 innings against Kansas City. The win came on May 9 in Baltimore, when the 6-foot-8 righty gave up just one run over six innings.
“I wouldn’t call it a milestone,” Wells said after the win. “Since Tommy John surgery, yeah, six innings and a quality start, I guess, is what you could consider the milestone. But the way I’m looking at it right now is just making sure that I go out there and I give my team a chance to win, and that’s exactly what happened.”
The six-inning outing was his career best to that point, though he matched it in a 10-0 victory at Boston May 30, when he allowed no runs on just two hits. He’s only walked nine batters in 47 2/3 innings, and four of those came in his first 5 2/3 innings of the season.
Wells’ journey to success has been a winding road. He had to endure the surgery, a pandemic-canceled minor-league season and a bullpen role to start his big-league career. He’s been on a pitch count (usually 60 to 75 pitches).
Lynch is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in one start against the Orioles. The left-hander gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits in 3 2/3 innings. He couldn’t complete four innings because of a high pitch-count (95 pitches). Part of the problem was walking four batters.
Lynch has lost two straight starts, giving up six runs in each start (a combined 9 2/3 innings). He walked five in the two games and gave up four home runs. In an 8-0 loss to Toronto on Monday, the Blue Jays hit three home runs.
After a rain delay of more than two hours, he was perfect through three innings. Then the wheels fell off. His first hit allowed was a two-run home run to Bo Bichette. He gave up another run in the fifth and then three more runs (all on home runs) in the sixth.
“I felt like I was attacking well,” Lynch said. “I was commanding my slider, my changeup really well. Using my fastball effectively. And just having confidence in my stuff.
“I really am trying to focus on getting to a point where I can go out there every single time and give us quality starts. I know I’m capable of that. It’s just going to take a little bit of looking into what’s going on and moving forward, and hopefully giving the team the best chance to win.”

Hagens Berman's fee award in antitrust case fails again at 9th Circuit
(Reuters) - A divided U.S. appeals court on Monday dealt another blow to Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro in a long-running antitrust case, ordering a do-over in a bid from the plaintiffs' law firm seeking tens of millions of dollars in legal fees.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling 2-1, said a federal trial judge had used the wrong base dollar amount to calculate fees when it awarded Hagens Berman more than $31 million last year for its work in a lawsuit over alleged price-fixing for certain optical disk drives.
The panel identified a lower starting point by several millions of dollars and said a final award of $26,646,000 would not be out of bounds.
Seattle-based Hagens Berman represented U.S. consumers in netting a $205 million settlement involving claims against companies including Hitachi Ltd, LG Electronics Inc and Sony Corp. The plaintiffs bought computers with an optical disk drive, which includes a DVD player. Defendant companies have denied any liability.
Monday's ruling was the latest strike against fee awards in the case spanning more than a decade.
The appeals court earlier wiped out trial court decisions awarding more than $52.7 million in fees. In a 2020 ruling, panel judges found some fault over the starting-point basis for the fee award.
Hagens Berman partner Shana Scarlett, who argued for the firm in the 9th Circuit in April, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Robert Clore of the Corpus Christi, Texas-based Bandas Law Firm, who represented an objector in the appeal, also did not immediately return a similar message.
Clore argued to the 9th Circuit that Hagens Berman's original fee proposal used marginal rates, not fixed ones. Circuit Judges Ronald Gould and Carlos Bea said U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco should have used marginal rates as the foundation of the fee award.
At oral argument, Hagens Berman's Scarlett defended Seeborg, saying he "looked at the totality" of the case in determining the fee. Seeborg said in his July 2021 order that the $31 million award was "reasonable under all the circumstances" regardless of the calculation of the starting point.
In a dissent, Circuit Judge Morgan Christen said Seeborg "was in the best position to decide upon a reasonable fee award in this case." She backed the $31 million award.
The appeals panel rejected several other claims from Clore, including a bid for disgorgement of fees based on alleged violations of attorney ethics rules.
The case is In Re Optical Disk Drive Products Antitrust Litigation, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 3:10-md-02413.
For Indirect Purchaser Class: Shana Scarlett of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro

Considering how he played and the stakes of the game, Steph Curry might have had the best performance of his decorated NBA career on Friday night in Boston. Curry led the Golden State Warriors into a hostile TD Garden and went for 43 points and 10 rebounds in a 107-97 win. It tied the series up at two games each, and after the game, Draymond Green praised Curry for how he “willed us to a win.”
Two of the best players of all time think Curry deserves his flowers after what he did on Friday. Dwyane Wade tweeted that he believes much of the conversation surrounding Curry focuses on what he cannot do, but that game was an example of how he’s a “BAD MFer.”
Everyone keeps talking about what Steph ain’t. Let’s talk about what he is. A BAD MFer!
— DWade (@DwyaneWade) June 11, 2022
Noted fan of Curry’s game LeBron James saw Wade’s tweet and chimed in by saying that people don’t appreciate how rare it is to have a player who can do the things Curry can do on the basketball court.
FACTS!!! “THEY” will try to do anything in their powers to not acknowledge simply how “DIFFERENT he is! It’s Rare and rare is not liked & appreciated.
— LeBron James (@KingJames) June 11, 2022
There is certainly an element of the famous “but I was told Steph Curry wasn’t a good shooter” tweet to this (and the composer of that tweet, noted Bar Rescue enthusiast @killakow, has chimed in on this conversation), but regardless, it’s interesting to see how two all-time greats believe Curry is viewed by the basketball watching universe. | https://uproxx.com/dimemag/lebron-james-dwyane-wade-reaction-steph-curry-game-4-nba-finals/ | 2022-06-11T19:02:48Z | https://uproxx.com/dimemag/lebron-james-dwyane-wade-reaction-steph-curry-game-4-nba-finals/ | false | 1 |

If you’ve driven past the newest location in the Delaware County District Library system, you’d see that the Liberty Branch Library is coming along beautifully. This new location is located at the intersection of Home and Steitz roads in Powell and Liberty Township.
While these preparations have the community abuzz when they drive past the location, there is much being done behind the scenes, as well. We already have 49,000 books ordered and ready to put on the shelves along with 100 magazine subscriptions. Furniture is ordered and held in storage until it can go on-site and be assembled. Even the signage that will point patrons where they want to go is already being prepared.
You may have also seen that our newest Branch Manager, Shari Bowers, has been hired to lead the Liberty Branch Library team. This begins one of the last steps as we prepare for the branch – hiring people!
To help with this process, the Library is hosting a Hiring Event on Thursday, June 23 from 1–5 p.m. at the Liberty Township Hall, located at 7761 North Liberty Road in Powell. This event is open-house style and an opportunity for anyone interested in working at the Library to come in, meet the team, and introduce themselves. We will be looking to fill 25-30 openings, which will include full- and part-time jobs in librarian, specialist, associate and page positions.
Bring your updated resume and a list of references and be yourself! Informal interviews will be held on-site and additional information about the Liberty Branch Library will be presented in the form of building progress, floor plans and pictures.
Book lovers are welcome to apply, of course, but we’re also looking for individuals with a customer-service focus and a people-first attitude who love working with the public. Backgrounds could range from sales to food service and anywhere in between.
Of course, if you can’t make the hiring event, stay in touch with open position listings on our website at www.delawarelibrary.org/careers. Speaking of book-lovers, here are the titles topping the New York Times bestsellers list this week.

Singer Justin Bieber has revealed he is suffering from facial paralysis after cancelling shows this week.
The 28-year-old said in an Instagram video that the condition is due to a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
“As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face… So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face,” he said.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome is when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near someone’s ears, say medical experts.
Earlier this week, Bieber’s Justice World Tour – which began in February – announced three shows would be postponed.
“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” the Canada-born singer said in the three-minute video, indicating the right side of his face.
He asked for his fans to be patient, and said of his forthcoming shows that he is “physically, obviously, not capable of doing them”.
He also smiled and blinked, showing his 240 million followers how the right side of his face did not move.
“This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but, obviously, my body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down,” he said. “I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do.”
Bieber added that he has been doing facial exercises to “get back to normal”, but that he does not know how long it will take to recover.
He had been due to play in Washington DC and Toronto earlier this week, with concerts also planned in New York and Los Angeles in the coming weeks.
According to the Mayo Clinic in the US: “In addition to the painful shingles rash, Ramsay Hunt syndrome can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.”
The Mayo Clinic says that for most people, the symptoms of Ramsay Hunt syndrome are temporary, but can become permanent.
The inability for patients to close one eyelid can also cause eye pain and blurred vision, the organisation says, adding that it is most common in people over 60 years old.
In March, the singer’s wife, Hailey Bieber, was admitted to hospital due to a blood clot in her brain.
She later said she had suffered a stroke and had undergone surgery to close a hole in her heart. | https://www.adomonline.com/singer-justin-bieber-reveals-facial-paralysis-after-shows-cancelled/ | 2022-06-11T19:13:33Z | https://www.adomonline.com/singer-justin-bieber-reveals-facial-paralysis-after-shows-cancelled/ | false | 8 |

Missouri Chamber recognizes 92 state legislators
From the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry
JEFFERSON CITY — The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry has recognized 92 members of the Missouri General Assembly as Business Champions. The Business Champion designation recognizes state lawmakers who supported policies during the 2022 Legislative Session to grow our economy and make Missouri a more competitive place to do business.
This year, the Missouri legislature worked through challenging conditions to help move Missouri forward. The lawmakers recognized as Business Champions helped the Missouri Chamber successfully advocate for a number of important pro-business policies, including:
• Protecting the right to let business decide on vaccine policy
• Blocking an effort to short-change our transportation infrastructure
• Extending the vital Fast Track workforce training program
• Addressing the childcare crisis with innovative business-led solutions
• Bolstering efforts to onshore high-tech manufacturing in Missouri
• Encouraging Missouri-made business innovation
• Keeping energy reliable and affordable
The Business Champions list was created after an analysis of dozens of key votes on these and other important business issues. To be included, state legislators needed to have at least a 70% record of siding with the Missouri Chamber on priority business issues. This year, 24 members of the Missouri Senate and 68 members of the Missouri House of Representatives met that criteria. The list is attached and is available on our website.
Of special note are the nine lawmakers who earned 100% voting records with the Missouri Chamber. The 2022 lawmakers with 100% Business Champion voting records are:
• Rep. Allen Andrews • Rep. Shamed Dogan • Sen. Lincoln Hough • Rep. Peggy McGaugh • Rep. Lane Roberts • Senate Majority Floor Leader Caleb Rowden • Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz • Rep. Brenda Shields • Sen. Bill White “The Business Champion program is our way of thanking Missouri’s top pro-business lawmakers for their commitment to moving Missouri forward,” said Missouri Chamber President and CEO Daniel P. Mehan. “Right now, we are in a critical moment that will determine how well our state will thrive in the post-pandemic economy. The lawmakers we are highlighting as 2022 Business Champions were our most important supporters of the policies needed for Missouri to continue to seize this historic opportunity for growth.”
The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry is the largest business association in Missouri. Together with the Missouri Chamber Federation, the Missouri Chamber represents more than 75,000 employers. To learn more, go to www.mochamber.com, or follow us @MissouriChamber on Twitter.
Additional funding available for specialty crop production
From the Missouri Department of Agriculture
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Agriculture is now accepting proposals for additional funding through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. These funds are approved through H.R. 133 stimulus funds due to Covid-19 impacts to the food system and provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service.
Interested individuals, community organizations and research institutions working to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in Missouri should submit their application by July 13, 2022. MDA will consider grant awards up to a maximum of $50,000 for a specific project, with a grant period beginning this fall and concluding in February 2025.
Funding will prioritize projects that respond to Covid-19 impacts. Projects include those that assist farmworker protection from Covid-19 and projects that respond to supply chain disruptions.
USDA defines specialty crops as fruits, vegetables, dried fruit, tree nuts, honey, horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture. The Department offers this grant program to expand markets on local, regional and international levels, develop distribution channels for specialty crops, and catalyze education, research, marketing, promotion, food safety strategies and crop-specific solutions for pests and diseases.
Proposals for these additional funds must be submitted to the Department by 3 p.m. on July 13, 2022. Proposals will be evaluated and selected projects will be included in the Missouri State Plan for USDA review and approval. A list of previously funded projects is available on the Department’s website.
The application form and additional details are available online at Agriculture.Mo.Gov.

Stations to increase power
From KOAM and FOX 14
The Federal Communications Commission has approved KOAM-TV and KFJX-TV (FOX 14) to increase the stations transmitter power and antenna strength.
A construction permit was granted last year by the FCC and new transmitters were purchased and installed in the Fall. The antenna portion of the project began in March. The general contractor, Precision Communications, Grove, OK, has installed a temporary side-mounted antenna that will broadcast the stations signals beginning sometime next week.
KOAM-TV director of engineering William Vickery said “the KOAM power will be increased from 14.8 kilowatts to 98.8 kilowatts and the power for KFJX will be increased from 5.6 kilowatts to 45.1 kilowatts.”
“The tower is being rigged now to withstand the weight of the construction project,” explained Vickery. “The temporary antenna will have decreased power and some Over-The-Air (OTA) households may lose signal, temporarily, during construction.”
Next week the current 153 feet tall digital antenna stack (weighing 20 tons) will be removed from the top of the 1,000 feet tall broadcasting tower and brought to the ground. Then the new antenna stack, weighing 12.5 tons, will be installed. Vickery said he expects the remainder of the project to take two to three weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Viewers can stay informed about the project by checking a dedicated website page at koamnewsnow.com/power. Daily updates are posted on the site and a dedicated camera feeds live video of the project for viewing. In addition, the KOAM News Department will provide updates during newscasts, on the KOAM News Now app and its other digital platforms.

Planned Parenthood educator named one of Time magazine’s innovative teachers
From Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri
ST. LOUIS — Today, TIME named Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri’s (PPSLRSWMO) Education and Support Specialist, Willow Rosen (they/them), one of the Innovative Teachers — TIME’s first-ever list highlighting U.S. teachers who are improving their field or making a difference for their students in a unique way.
To compile this list, TIME reviewed hundreds of nominations from across the country — for teachers at public schools, public charters, private, and parochial schools — and selected the teachers who stood out for going above and beyond to improve the learning experience for kids who need it, or solve a problem facing schools today. Willow’s work is breaking ground outside of traditional educational institutions that have historically excluded Planned Parenthood’s innovative curricula in the state of Missouri.
This curriculum, which focuses on transgender and non-binary individuals is part of a partnership between the Metro Trans Umbrella Group (MTUG), and PPSLRSWMO to bring gender-affirming care, no matter a person’s insurance status or ability to pay. The TRANSforming Community TRANSforming Care (TC2) program is a first-of-its-kind program in Missouri.
Statement from Yamelsie Rodríguez, President and CEO, Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri: “I’m extremely proud of Willow and their team for the work they’re doing to bring accurate, inclusive information to the community. At a time when too many politicians — including those in Missouri — are pushing discriminatory policies against LGBTQIA+ people, it is vitally important that we lift up populations often pushed to the margins. Every person deserves access and resources — sex education included.”
Statement from Willow Rosen, Education & Support Specialist, Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri: “The majority of the TC2 team members identify as gender-expansive, which helps us to live our mission — ‘nothing about us without us’. We are proud to represent our diverse identities in the communities we serve. Our program works to heal some of the wide-reaching disservice and stigma related to sex education. Our education prides itself on honesty, evidence-informed or evidence-based practices, and the TC2 curricula, a program centering on gender-expansive humans. Being recognized by TIME is an honor and important step to recognizing gender expansive folks in educational systems.”

America in Bloom to visit Carthage
From America in Bloom
Professional volunteer Advisors from the America in Bloom (AIB) national awards program will visit Carthage, MO on June 13-14. This is Carthage’s third year as an America in Bloom participant, and it is one of the many proud and passionate communities across America working on local revitalization programs. Participants experience better cooperation among municipal, commercial, and residential sectors because everyone works toward a common goal.
In addition to receiving a detailed written evaluation from the Advisors citing strengths and opportunities for improvement, participants receive a special mention for what the judges deem to be an extraordinary project or program. Additional awards that can be earned includes:
• Population category winner
• Outstanding achievement award — the “best of the best” over all participants in each of the evaluated criteria
• Special awards
• Community Champion
• YouTube Video
Advisors will be evaluating the community’s efforts in the areas of community vitality, flowers, landscaped areas, urban forestry, environmental efforts, celebrating heritage, and overall impression.
The Advisor team members are Cheryl Corson and Tim France.
Cheryl Corson, RLA, CPSI, NBC-HWC, is a landscape architect, writer, and health & wellness coach in private practice. As a certified playground safety inspector (CPSI), Cheryl has designed and inspected playgrounds, and served as an expert witness on playground safety matters. Her award-winning Sustainable Landscape Maintenance Manual for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed is freely available at https://corsonlearning.com. Cheryl holds a BA in Public Administration from the University of Maine, an MLA from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Cheryl enjoys supporting the vital connection between human and environmental wellness.
Tim France has been serving as the Coshocton, Ohio Municipal Court Judge (an elected position) since 2006, currently serving his third 6-year term. He has been involved with the community in various capacities, including serving on the Board for Coshocton Community Housing, which provides homes for people with developmental disabilities. He is President of Coshocton is Blooming, a non-profit board established to participate in America in Bloom. His talent for planting and nurturing flowers began about 20 years ago when his daughter’s junior high track boosters raised funding by planting flowers in the 30 downtown planters. The planters were planted in May and were dead by July. He realized that someone needed to take more responsibility, so he hauled water in the back of his truck to keep the plants alive all summer; however, they were not thriving. The next year, he convinced the local Rotary Club to donate different flowers and the City of Coshocton to allow usage of their spigots and City water. He completed the Master Gardener Program through the Ohio State University Extension Office. He has personally designed and planted the Courthouse and City flowerbeds and helped Coshocton is Blooming obtain planters for every intersection in the City. Finally, he piloted a program to replace the old containers on Main Street to enhance the architecture of the City buildings. The planters have grown from 30 to over 400 which includes 96 hanging baskets.
To date, more than 275 communities from 43 states have participated in the program and more than 22 million people have been touched by it. Awards will be announced September 29-October 1, 2022 at AIB’s National Symposium & Awards Celebration in St Louis, Missouri.

The grants are a collaboration between the Coover Charitable Foundation and the CFO’s Rural Schools Partnership, which advances rural education through a variety of programs. The CFO administers grantmaking for the Coover Charitable Foundation, which is managed by Commerce Trust Company.
To guide this year’s Coover Regional education program, the CFO conducted a survey of educators in its network of school partners and received more than 400 responses. Among funding priorities, the health and mental health of both students and teachers were identified as areas of greatest need in rural school districts.
“Supporting students’ physical- and mental-health needs, which often aren’t covered by traditional school-funding sources, can make a significant improvement in their ability to learn,” said Jill Reynolds, senior vice president at Commerce Trust Company. “These grants are an example of how philanthropy’s flexible funding can complement other resources for the overall benefit of children and schools.”
Julia Dorothy Coover, a 30-year Commerce employee, founded the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Charitable Foundation in 1992 to honor her husband’s memory. Since then, the Coover Charitable Foundation has awarded more than $7 million in grants to nonprofit agencies and rural schools across the Ozarks. | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/your-news-announcements-from-missouri-chamber-america-in-bloom-and-more/article_abdb1d8e-e8c3-11ec-8316-3bfb42058890.html | 2022-06-11T19:23:31Z | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/your-news-announcements-from-missouri-chamber-america-in-bloom-and-more/article_abdb1d8e-e8c3-11ec-8316-3bfb42058890.html | false | 1 |
The festival - jointly organised by the UT administration, Directorate of Information and Public Relations in J&K and the National Film Development Corporation - was to be held in Srinagar, the summer capital of the union territory, during June 15-20.
The Centre has asked the J&K administration to postpone the festival to after the conclusion of the Amarnath pilgrimage in August, the officials said.
Kashmir has seen a spate of attacks on civilians and targeted killings of Kashmiri pandits and migrant workers, following which security has been increased in South Kashmir and Srinagar. "We had sought a report on the security situation and were informed that it may not be advisable to hold the festival on the decided date," said a senior central government official.
A top union territory official told ET: "Yes, the film festival has been postponed and is likely to be scheduled after the Amarnath Yatra is over." The UT official, however, cited weather as one of the reasons for the decision, as several programs were scheduled to happen in the open.
Security agencies suspected that militants might try to disrupt the festival under which events were planned at various locations in Srinagar including the Dal Lake, Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre, Pari Mahal and Botanical Garden, ET has learnt.
The festival, aimed at showcasing the film, music and creative ecosystem in J&K, was to be a congregation of filmmakers and music artists. The J&K administration had invited nominations for fiction, documentary or shorts and music videos.
Security for the film festival was also discussed during the last review meeting chaired by home minister Amit Shah and J&K lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha in New Delhi. "A large number of security personnel will be deployed on security duties for the Amarnath Yatra starting in the last week of June. Their deployment, drills have already begun and after analysing the threats it was decided that the film festival cannot be held between June 15 and 20," said a second central official.

Residents have no reason to be alarmed yet, say doctors
coronavirus2 days ago
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Saturday reported 1,179 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 981 recoveries and no deaths.
Total active cases stand at 15,637.
The new cases were detected through 253,991 additional tests.
The total number of cases in UAE as on June 11 are 916,247, while total recoveries stand at 898,305. The death toll now stands at 2,305.
Taiwan said on Saturday that the mandatory quarantine for all arrivals would be cut from 7 days to 3 days.
This is the latest relaxation of the rules to try to live with Covid-19, even as Taiwan deals with a surge of infections. Previously it cut the mandatory number of days spent in quarantine from 10 days to 7 days in May.
Taiwan has reported more than 2.7 million domestic cases since the beginning of the year, driven by the more infectious Omicron variant. But with more than 99 per cent of the infected exhibiting no or mild symptoms, the government has relaxed rather than tightened restrictions in what it calls the “new Taiwan model”.
Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Centre said the new, reduced quarantine rule would start from Wednesday.
Meanwhile, in the US, FDA staff reviewers on Friday said Moderna Inc’s Covid-19 vaccine appears safe and effective for use in children aged 6 months to 17 years old as a committee of scientists will meet next week to vote on whether to recommend the regulator authorize the vaccine in children.
The FDA’s reviewers said in briefing documents published on Friday evening that the vaccine had generated a similar immune response in the children than that observed in adults in previous trials.
“Available data support the effectiveness of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine in preventing symptomatic Covid-19 in paediatric age groups from 6 months through 17 years of age,” the FDA staff said.
The FDA staff also said the vaccine generally had a similar side effect profile in children as seen in adults, although younger children had fevers more frequently.

BOSTON (AP) — For three quarters, the Boston Celtics responded to nearly every punch the Golden State Warriors threw at them.
But mistakes and an inability to beat back one final charge by Golden State in the fourth quarter cost the Celtics in a 107-97 loss in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Now, with the series tied, they find themselves in a best-of-three series with Game 5 set for Monday night at Golden State.
The team which has made resiliency their calling card in must-win situations, will now have to do it one more time if it hopes to win the franchise’s 18th championship.
Jayson Tatum was disappointed in his performance, though he finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. But Tatum didn’t shoot the ball well — he just 8 of 23 from the field — and didn’t take of it; he had six of Boston’s 16 turnovers that led to 19 Golden State points.
Boston has shown 16 is a number more often than not leads to defeat. The Celtics are now 1-6 this postseason when committing 16 or more turnovers. When they commit 15 or fewer, they are 13-2.
“It’s on me. I got to be better,” Tatum said. “I know I’m impacting the game in other ways, but I got to be more efficient, shoot the ball better, finish at the rim better.”
Marcus Smart said the Celtics didn’t play well at crunch time.
“We just didn’t execute late down the stretch,” said Smart, who scored 18 points. “They went on a run early on in the third. We sustained it, made a run of our own. After that we just couldn’t execute.”
The setback overshadowed a big night by Boston big man Robert Williams, who had seven points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks before being forced to the bench as he appeared to hobble on his surgically repaired left knee.
He sat the final 3:41 of the game, but coach Ime Udoka said he didn’t notice anything wrong with Williams and hadn’t been informed of any issue.
Williams has been listed as day-to-day throughout the playoffs and how much he’ll be able to play in Game 5 will be a concern.
The Celtics seemed to be in control of Game 4 and destined to a commanding lead in the series, hitting 15 3-pointers and responding to several scoring runs by the Warriors.
Things changed in the fourth as Boston’s turnovers continued to mount. Then when they couldn’t score late it the game, its fate was sealed.
The Celtics took a 94-90 lead with 5:18 left in the fourth before missing their next six shots. Golden State took advantage, scoring 10 straight points and never trailed again.
Boston was outscored 28-19 over the final 12 minutes.
Udoka said his team got caught ball watching at times and it had an effect on how the ball moved in the half court.
“We had plenty of opportunities, obviously. Every time we got a five-, six-point lead, it felt like we made some poor decisions,” Udoka said. “Whether it was rushed shots in traffic or … standing around and looking at each other a little bit there.”
If there is a solace for the Celtics, it’s that they are 7-0 this postseason following a loss.
“There’s certain things we got to clean up. … Would we have liked to have won today and be up 3-1? That would have been best-case scenario,” Tatum said. “But it’s the Finals. The art of competition, they came here feeling like they had to win. It wasn’t easy. I think that’s kind of the beauty of it, that it’s not going to be easy. It shouldn’t be.”

LEICESTER REACHED THEIR first Gallagher Premiership final for nine years after George Ford inspired an intense 27-14 victory over Northampton at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
Tigers, who extended their unbeaten home record in English rugby’s flagship domestic competition to more than a year, were given a major examination by their east midlands rivals throughout an emotion-charged play-off with Ford scoring 22 points.
A minute’s applause took place before kick-off in memory of Tiffany Youngs, whose husband Tom retired in April following a career that saw him captain the club and make more than 200 first-team appearances.
Tom’s brother, England scrum-half Ben Youngs, started for Leicester as Tigers booked a Twickenham appointment with Saracens next Saturday.
Ford, on his final Leicester home appearance before joining Sale later this summer, contributed a try, conversion, four penalties and a drop-goal, and delivered a scoring pass for Freddie Steward’s clinching late touchdown.
Saints replied through a Tommy Freeman touchdown, with Dan Biggar kicking two penalties and James Grayson one but Wales international Biggar went off early in the second period after appearing to suffer a knock.
But ultimately, it was Leicester’s day, setting up a pulsating finale when they will go in search of a ninth Premiership title.
Hooker Julian Montoya and centre Dan Kelly returned to the Leicester starting line-up, while Northampton changes included Freeman switching to full-back instead of an unavailable George Furbank, with number eight Juarno Augustus also featuring.
Kelly, though, limped off after just three minutes, causing a back division reshuffle as Guy Porter moved into midfield, replacement Freddie Burns lined up at full-back and Steward switched to the wing.
Biggar then kicked Northampton into the lead, landing a 48-metre penalty after seven minutes before Saints full-back Freeman launched a thrilling counter-attack that ended with him being bundled into touch.
Saints were comfortably the more dangerous team early on, and they were denied an Alex Mitchell try after wing Courtnall Skosan knocked on, before Skosan spilled a pass when a clear run to the line beckoned.
Leicester’s response to an unsettling opening quarter was to set up camp in the Northampton 22, helped by a wild Augustus pass that allowed them an attacking lineout.
Ford tied things up through a short-range penalty, but Skosan’s horrors continued after Saints centre Rory Hutchinson burst clear in midfield, only for the South African to waste another clear-cut chance by dropping the ball.
A second Ford penalty edged Tigers ahead seven minutes before the break, just as Biggar received treatment after seemingly taking a blow to his back.
Saints ended the half back in the driving seat, and Biggar’s second penalty made it 6-6 at the break after Porter was yellow-carded for a high tackle on Hutchinson.
DIFFERENTLY
Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.
Become a MemberWith Porter still off, Northampton deservedly took the lead following sustained pressure that asked many questions of Leicester’s defence.
And Freeman had an easy finish as Leicester ran out of numbers, as Biggar’s missed conversion was his final contribution before leaving the action and being replaced by Grayson.
Leicester were in trouble again, yet they managed to conjure a response this time as Ford weaved his way through Northampton’s defence for a try that he also converted.
Grayson sent an angled penalty chance wide after Skosan was tackled in the corner, only to make amends four minutes later as Saints edged back in front.
But when replacement Northampton prop Oisin Heffernan was sin-binned for a high challenge on Jasper Wiese, Leicester looked to make it count.
Ford, inevitably, delivered the goods after kicking an earlier penalty as Leicester attacked at pace, and his floated delivery found an unmarked Steward, who finished off to finally floor Saints and secure a trip to Twickenham that was sealed by Ford’s drop-goal and another penalty. | https://www.the42.ie/george-ford-5788590-Jun2022/ | 2022-06-11T19:30:35Z | https://www.the42.ie/george-ford-5788590-Jun2022/ | false | 10 |

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A shooting at a restaurant at a suburban Atlanta mall has left one person dead and three others injured, authorities said.
DeKalb County Police said the shooting happened just before 11:30 p.m. Friday outside Fletcher's Place, a bar and grill in the South DeKalb Mall in Decatur, news outlets reported.
“Through our investigation, it appears the incident started as a dispute over a female which escalated into gunfire,” police said.
Investigators are searching for the shooters responsible.
“We do not have a suspect in custody, but are following up on several promising leads,” DeKalb police Lt. Shane Smith said in a statement Saturday.
Officers responded to the eatery and found four men in their 20s and 30s who had been shot. Police at the scene initially said three people were shot, but Smith confirmed the fourth victim Saturday. The four men were taken to area hospitals with serious to critical injuries and one of them died Saturday morning, police said.
The victims' names have not been released. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/1-dead-3-hurt-in-shooting-at-suburban-Georgia-17235456.php | 2022-06-11T19:36:49Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/1-dead-3-hurt-in-shooting-at-suburban-Georgia-17235456.php | true | 11 |
It was May 25, 2013, when successful realtor Vernon “Vern” Holbrook was found cruelly beaten within an inch of his life following what was supposed to be an ordinary house showing to clients. He managed to survive the attack, as profiled on ‘Dateline NBC: Secrets at the Sunshine Motel,’ but was declared comatose in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries eight months later. One of the most baffling aspects, though, was that his former daughter-in-law Jill Taylor was seemingly involved in the matter — so if you wish to learn more about her, we’ve got you covered.
Who is Jill Taylor?
Jill Taylor is not only the ex-wife of Vern’s stepson Chad Rockenfield, but she’s also the ex-girlfriend of ambitious real estate agent turned heinous criminal, murder mastermind Daniel Blizzard. The divorcee was actually the one who’d introduced the latter to her once-roommate Adriana Mendez and her boyfriend Luis Gomez-Monges, just for them to soon evolve into his hired hitmen. The truth is that Daniel had first attempted to have Jill slay her former father-in-law by poisoning him, yet he recruited the couple for $10,000 plus a $2,000 bonus after she failed to follow through.
As per Jill’s official statements, she’d disposed of the poison her partner had handed her, but she didn’t alert Vern or the police since she believed this knowledge wouldn’t have benefited anyone. Moreover, her fall 2013 arrest affidavit claims that she held a serious grudge against the late broker and had even argued with him a month before his demise because he’d financially cut her off. It thus came as no surprise to a majority of Vern’s loved ones when she was accused of being a conspirator in the case — charged with attempted murder, which was later upped to murder.
Where is Jill Taylor Now?
The suit against Jill Taylor was reportedly the weakest the prosecutors had, according to the ‘Dateline’ episode, driving them to turn her into a state witness in exchange for a lighter sentence. After all, they wanted the most culpable individuals to bear justice for the long haul, and the main argument concerning her was that she was aware of Daniel’s plans and did nothing to stop him. The count she faced was eventually dropped without prejudice, meaning the state can refile in the future if they desire, but as it stands today, Jill has not been convicted of a single offense.
Jill’s testimony did help the prosecutors achieve their goal, even if she had to reveal the details of the role she played, yet she now claims her former co-defendants also betrayed her. “I wouldn’t have headed it off anyhow because Daniel was determined to do what he wanted to do,” she told ‘Dateline.’ “I really cared about Daniel, and I was just really hoping that he would pull his head out of his rear. Maybe I have issues letting people use me; he just set me up for everything… Yes, he set me up.”
Jill added that although she had introduced Daniel to Adriana as well as Luis and knew he’d paid them, she didn’t tell the cops in part because Adriana had told her the attack would never happen. “I went to her hotel, it was about in April, and I told her, ‘I don’t care how much money he has already lent you or whatever; you’re not obligated to do anything.’ And she says, ‘No. we’re not gonna– I’m not gonna do that.'” We should mention that Jill never revealed this last bit of information on the stands in court.
Coming to her current standing, from what we can tell, Jill continues to reside in Washington, where she is focusing on getting back on her feet, being a devoted mother, and moving on from the past. It appears as if she prefers to keep her distance from the limelight these days, so we don’t particularly know the ins and outs of her daily experiences. Yet we believe serving a year in county jail (before she was cleared) would’ve transformed her outlook on life.

Rita Ora and Taika Waititi are engaged: report
Rita Ora and Taika Waititi are getting hitched, according to a new report.
The “For You” singer and “Jojo Rabbit” star made almost “simultaneous” wedding proposals to each other, The UK Sun reported , and are now planning a “low-key” ceremony soon before hosting a star-studded celebration later this summer.
Reps for the couple didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.
“This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand,” a source told the publication. “It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalize their relationship.
“They couldn’t be happier.”
Ora, 31, and the “Thor: Ragnarok” director, 46, first sparked romance rumors in spring 2021 when they were photographed cozying up to each other in Sydney. They seemed to confirm their romance when they were caught kissing on a balcony — but the photo made headlines as actress Tessa Thompson was also involved in the smooch .
“I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick,” the Oscar-winning filmmaker told the Sydney Morning Herald a few months after the viral kiss. “And also, ‘Is it that big a deal?’ No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It’s fine.”
The couple went on to make their red carpet debut in August 2021 at “The Suicide Squad” premiere.
Page Six broke the news in March 2020 that Waititi and his then-wife, Chelsea Winstanley, had separated . The former couple share two daughters: 10-year-old Te Hinekāhu and 6-year-old Matewa Kiritapu. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2630290966483/rita-ora-and-taika-waititi-are-engaged-report | 2022-06-11T20:03:52Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2630290966483/rita-ora-and-taika-waititi-are-engaged-report | false | 2 |
LONDON (AP) — A British newspaper says Prince Charles has criticized the government’s plan to start deporting some asylum-seekers to Rwanda, calling it “appalling.”
Citing unnamed sources, the Times newspaper reported late Friday that the heir to the British throne is privately opposed to U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s policy to send people to the East African country.
A court ruling has paved the way for the first flight under the controversial deal to leave Tuesday with more than 30 people. Britain plans to send some migrants who arrive in the U.K. as stowaways or in small boats to Rwanda, where their asylum claims will be processed. If successful, they will stay in the African country. Human rights groups have called the idea unworkable and inhumane.
The prince’s office neither confirmed nor denied the report.
“We would not comment on supposed anonymous private conversations with the Prince of Wales, except to restate that he remains politically neutral,” Clarence House said in a statement. “Matters of policy are decisions for government.”
The new policy threatens to overshadow the upcoming visit by Charles and his wife Camilla to Rwanda later this month to attend a meeting of Commonwealth leaders.
The Times said a source had heard Charles express opposition to the policy several times in private, and that he was “more than disappointed” by it.
Traditionally, British royals don’t get involved in political matters.
As head of state, Charles’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has to remain strictly neutral on political matters and doesn’t vote or stand for election, according to the royal family’s official website.
However, the 73-year-old prince, who is first in line to the throne, has been an outspoken supporter of various causes, such as campaigning against climate change and plastic pollution in oceans. He has also been accused of meddling in politics by speaking up about property developments he opposed and other issues. | https://www.wkrg.com/international/report-prince-charles-blasts-uks-rwanda-deportation-plan/ | 2022-06-11T20:04:25Z | https://www.wkrg.com/international/report-prince-charles-blasts-uks-rwanda-deportation-plan/ | false | 24 |
Jesus was a Jew, a man of the middle-eastern, dark-skinned, Jewish people of the land. He was not white-skinned, as we know Jewish people of our time and place to be. He was more likely to have a light brown skin color.
Jesus’ skin was not that of white Europeans and their immigrants to what became the pale-skinned American and as painted by the famous portrait of Jesus by Warner Sallaman.

British Virgin Islands: UK decides against direct rule of territory
The UK has decided not to impose direct rule on the British Virgin Islands, despite a report finding gross failures of governance in the territory.

N.B. man, 56, dies after collision between motorcycle, tractor trailer
The RCMP says a 56-year-old man from Musquash, N.B., has died after a collision between a motorcycle and a tractor trailer on Highway 1 in Prince of Wales, N.B.
Several crews responded to the collision Friday around 12:30 p.m., including Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP and the Musquash fire department.
Police believe the collision happened when the tractor trailer, travelling eastbound, hit the motorcycle parked on the shoulder of the highway. The motorcycle then struck the driver, who was standing beside it.
The motorcycle driver was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries.
Police say the tractor trailer’s driver and passenger were not injured.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist is helping determine the cause of the collision.
The RCMP is asking anyone travelling on Highway 1 eastbound at the time of the collision, and may have witnessed it, to contact the Grand Bay-Westfield detachment at 506-757-1020.

Ex Love Island contestant Amy Day revealed that she thought the show ‘would be a lot more fun than it was’ before entering the villa.
The 25-year-old reality star joined the 2021 series of the hit annual dating programme and was coupled up with fellow islander Hugo Hammond during her time on the show – which saw Millie Court and Liam Reardon crowned champions.
However, after the pair were dumped from the island, things quickly turned sour, with Hugo notably claiming that his love-life on the show had been ‘tragic’, with Amy standing right next to him.
Talking about what she wished she knew in hindsight Amy shared that she wished ‘I knew how fake it was, everything was fake.’
‘It was more than what I thought before I went in, I wasn’t stupid I went in knowing this is a game show but I thought I’d be able to wake up at 8am and go for a swim, have a coffee.’
‘They don’t control you but they manipulate you,’ she added to the Daily Star.
It’s been five days, and Love Island 2022 has certainly delivered on the drama.
However, one important element of the show has been missing so far – the previews for the following episode, complete with narrator Iain Stirling’s booming, ominous utterance of the phrase: ‘Tomorrow night.’
The tomorrow night previews have marked some of the most dramatic moments on the show, such as when Maura Higgins revealed she was crushing hard on Curtis Pritchard, much to everyone’s absolute shock.
Then, in last year’s series, Toby Aromolaran started off in a couple with Kaz Kamwi, before moving on with Chloe Burrows, and then Abigail Rawlings, and then Mary Bedford… before one of the teasers for the next episode revealed he was still harbouring feelings for Chloe in a jaw-dropping twist.
But prayers were answered during yesterday’s episode, as tomorrow’s episode teased Gemma Owen’s ex-boyfriend – who is believed to be rugby player Jacques O’Neill, will be entering the villa on Sunday night.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to ITV for comment.
Love Island returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska Supreme Court has reversed a lower court decision that barred state elections officials from certifying the results of Saturday’s special U.S. House primary amid concerns about ballot accessibility for voters with visual impairments.
The high court said Saturday that an explanation of its reasoning would follow at a later time.
Attorneys for the state had asked the supreme court to reverse a Friday ruling from a Superior Court judge that they interpreted as preventing elections officials from concluding voting as scheduled Saturday.
Superior Court Judge Una Gandbhir on Friday ruled that Alaska elections officials could not certify the results of the by-mail special primary until visually impaired voters “are provided a full and fair opportunity to participate” in the election. She did not specify what that would entail.
The ruling from the supreme court noted simply that the order granting the injunction was reversed and vacated.
The court drama was the latest twist in what has already been an extraordinary election, unlike any Alaska voters had seen, packed with 48 candidates vying for the seat left vacant by the death in March of U.S. Rep. Don Young. Young, a Republican, held the seat for 49 years.
It is the first election held under a system approved by voters in 2020 that ends party primaries and uses ranked choice voting in general elections.
Prominent candidates in the race include former Gov. Sarah Palin, Nick Begich, Tara Sweeney and Josh Revak, all Republicans; independent Al Gross; and Democrats Christopher Constant and Mary Peltola. A self-described “independent, progressive, democratic socialist” whose legal name is Santa Claus has gotten attention but has not been raising money. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/06/11/alaska-high-court-sides-with-state-in-ballot-access-case.html | 2022-06-11T20:24:44Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/06/11/alaska-high-court-sides-with-state-in-ballot-access-case.html | false | 12 |
'1000-Lb. Sisters': Tammy Slaton's New Boyfriend Mikey Mooney Denies Dating Her For Clout
Tammy Slaton has a new man and he insists he’s with her out of love. The 1000lb Sisters star made her relationship with Mikey Mooney Facebook official. After Mooney’s own friend asked why he was with her, Mooney shot down claims it was for notoriety.
Mike Mooney posts loving message about Tammy Slaton on Facebook
The Ashley reports that Mooney can’t stop gushing about Slaton on his social media. He recently shared a post that reads: “Words can’t even express how safe and loved I feel when I’m with you I’m forever grateful for everything you do my love. I love you so much,” Mikey wrote on Facebook last week. “Cheers babydoll your the best thing to have ever walked into my life.”
View this post on Instagram
This isn’t the first time we’ve since glimpses of the couple. Mooney revealing earlier in early May that he was traveling to Ohio. Slaton is currently in rehab in the state for food addiction to prepare for her weight loss surgery. It’s been reported that she’s made great strides including being able to stop smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating junk food while there
During the visit, Mooney posted a photo of himself and Slaton holding hands. He captioned the photo: “No matter what we go through babygirl I’ll remain by your side holding your hand through it all, good and bad times I’ll be right there guiding and pushing you and us to our goals in life.”
Mooney’s friend blasted him for being with Slaton for clout. The report notes a friend of his commented on his relationship status changing: “How the hell did this happen? You trying to make it into Season 4 [of “1000 lb. Sisters’] or something?”
Mooney denied such. He claims he’s been “chasing” Slaton for 3-4 years now. | https://news.yahoo.com/1000-lb-sisters-tammy-slatons-205744397.html | 2022-06-11T20:28:27Z | https://news.yahoo.com/1000-lb-sisters-tammy-slatons-205744397.html | true | 2 |
The UAE set out its vision for space travel to be shared with the world after leading its first session of a long-standing UN gathering.
The Emirates was recently selected to lead the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, with Omran Sharaf, the Emirati engineer who guided its successful Mars mission, serving as its director for 2022 and next year.
At the 65th session of the meeting, which concluded in Vienna, Austria, on Friday, Mr Sharaf stressed the need for the international community to join to develop strategies for the long-term sustainability of space projects.
In his inaugural speech, he spoke of the UN body's central role in regulating safety in space.
Mr Sharaf welcomed Angola, Bangladesh, Panama, Slovenia and Kuwait to the committee, which now has 100 members, as well as the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory and the Lunar Open Corporation, which have been granted observer status.
Mr Sharaf previously represented the UAE on the outer space committee and on the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems.
The peaceful uses committee has been in operation since 1959 and is one of the largest at the UN. It plays an important role, encouraging international co-operation and recommending laws and policies that support space exploration.
Members approved the draft report of the Working Group on Space and Global Health.
The UAE was praised for its “positive and moderating role” in bringing together different opinions of members, state news agency Wam reported.
Salem Al Qubaisi, Director of the UAE Space Agency, delivered a speech on behalf of the Emirati delegation in which he outlined the UAE's commitment to equal international access to outer space.
He said the Emirates aimed to encourage private sector support for space and attract local and international investment to develop its plans for the future.
The UAE became the first Arab country to journey to Mars with the Hope probe in February 2021.
The craft beams back data from its orbit of the Red Planet.
The UAE's space programme is continuing to broaden its horizons, with sights set on landing a rover on the Moon in October and further astronaut missions planned. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/uae-in-space/2022/06/11/uae-sets-out-vision-for-space-travel-to-be-shared-with-the-world/ | 2022-06-11T20:32:53Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/uae-in-space/2022/06/11/uae-sets-out-vision-for-space-travel-to-be-shared-with-the-world/ | false | 1 |
Sporting Kansas City are making history in 2022.
The wrong kind of history.
“Never in the history of the DP era have two DPs not played a single game in a season,” longtime manager Peter Vermes told MLSsoccer.com in a one-on-one conversation ahead of Sunday’s nationally-televised visit from the New England Revolution (3 pm ET | ABC, ESPN Deportes).
That would be Designated Players Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda, the two most expensive signings in club history and the heart of Vermes’ 2022 attack – or at least, that was the plan, before they were diagnosed with knee problems that would require season-ending surgery.
The Pulido news was particularly devastating, given that the Mexican international is SKC’s club-record transfer capture from Liga MX’s Chivas, reportedly costing nearly $10 million, intended as the capstone of a title contender – only for injuries and national-team call-ups to limit his availability to a fraction of the matches in his first three seasons.
“Alan Pulido gets hurt with the national team, I have no control over that,” said Vermes. “Even all last year he was, how do I put this? He was maybe 50% of himself. And so nobody was clear yet on what kind of surgery or if he had to have surgery, or what would fix what, just nothing like that. It really wasn't found out until after the end of the season. And so he played the whole entire season with this problem.”
Toss in a bevy of other injuries and some ill-timed international call-up absences, then sprinkle on a difficult generational shift unfolding across the roster. There you have the recipe for one of the worst starts in SKC’s modern era, a 3W-8L-4D record across their first 15 league matches that’s dropped them into last place in the Western Conference standings and presented Vermes with the most difficult challenge of his 14-year managerial tenure.
“I’m getting a chance to experience something I've never experienced before in my career, and in the rest of the staff’s. It's incredibly challenging,” said the 2013 MLS Cup winner. “It's forcing us to have to come up with solutions that I don't think that I would ever have faced.
“We're trying to deal with it head-on, and I think at some times we've done a really good job and other times, we just have to do what we can based on what we have available to us.”
Depth chart tested
It’s not just the DP duo. At various times injuries have also robbed the Midwesterners of the likes of fullback Graham Zusi, captain and winger Johnny Russell, center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, homegrown attacker Ozzie Cisneros, Pulido’s backup Khiry Shelton and Nikola Vujnovic, the Montenegrin spearhead brought in on loan in the wake of Pulido’s loss for the season, for long stretches.
Daniel Salloi and promising young newcomer Marinos Tzionis are currently away on international duty with Hungary and Cyprus, respectively, and likely will be again in the coming months and years. All of it has forced a number of reserves and youngsters into bigger roles than planned, with all the growing pains that suggests.
“It puts a lot more pressure on guys that, you didn't necessarily expect to have to put them under that kind of pressure for the entire season,” explained Vermes. “They could be a guy that is a spot guy, plays maybe somewhere between five and eight games over the course of a season, not 30 games. They're just not built that way. But you have to adapt and adjust and you have to find a way.
“I'm a big believer that it's best to try to put a lot of people into positions where they can be successful as opposed to the opposite, because that's a big setback,” he added. “Confidence-wise and especially in sports, sports are all about confidence. So now all of a sudden you put the guy out there and it doesn’t go well, and now all the work that you've built up over the last couple of months just dissipates in one 90-minute game.”
Sporting’s press-and-possess system traditionally hinges on goal-dangerous wingers like Russell and Salloi, and when it’s clicking, it can be devastating. But having to reach deep down the depth chart has tested its viability.
“The pressure starts to mount and you're again patching players in different positions that, that's not even their position within the team,” said Vermes. “And so you're expecting them to now take on, ‘hey, go out and score two, three goals like Daniel Salloi can do’ – it's not happening.”
A seven-game winless skid across April and May, highlighted by a painful 7-2 away thumping at the hands of the Portland Timbers, provided a sobering reality check for an organization and fanbase accustomed to consistent competitiveness at the top end of MLS. While a couple of decent results against Colorado and San Jose helped staunch the bleeding, SKC’s body of work before the international break was uncharacteristic and now they must find a way to make Children’s Mercy Park an unpleasant destination for the Revs this weekend.
Vermes has preferred a classic 4-3-3 formation for most of his decade-plus in charge and prefers to keep continuity across his lineups. This year’s extreme circumstances have forced him to experiment, even as his players have – understandably – shown signs of greater comfort in the setup they grew to be hard-wired in over the years.
“If you have Alan Pulido and then you have Khiry Shelton as a backup, and then you have Nikola Vujnovic, who you bring in as a loan guy to be in that position, and all three of them are injured, well, now I'm a false 9 at best, right?” said the manager. “So it really changes the complexity of things. And that's exactly where we are.”
Generational shift
Then there’s the matter of the wider generational shift in Kansas City. The core of the squad that won an MLS Cup, thrived in the Open Cup and even made noise in Concacaf Champions League has aged. According to Transfermarkt, Sporting have fielded seven of the 10 oldest starting lineups in MLS so far this season, and mobility has been an issue in key areas of the pitch.
A carefully-built long-term academy-driven player development project has drawn plaudits, but isn’t yet producing reliable contributors on the scale of comparable counterparts like FC Dallas and the Philadelphia Union. As aggressively as SKC have scouted both regionally and nationally, turning up talents like USMNT midfielder Gianluca Busio (sold last summer to Italy’s Venezia) and now-Charlotte FC fullback Jaylin Lindsey, their homegrown pipeline still hasn’t reached the desired level of consistency, and Vermes cites the realities imposed by MLS’s system of homegrown catchment territories.
“No. No, I don't,” he said when asked if believes that undertaking is on track. “Infrastructure, staff and all the things that go around it are great. Where the difference is, is that we just don't have a fertile [homegrown] territory. And so the fact that we're really landlocked by first, our territory, and then we're unable to go into the most fertile territories, which are the East and West coasts, pretty much. It doesn't allow us to get to a larger pool of players.
“I'm a big believer that it needs to change. If it was up to me, I would say just open up the territories completely, and let everybody fend for themselves, like most everybody does around the rest of the world.”
It’s an idea shared by several other development-centered clubs. Despite sustained difficulties in reaching wider agreement on adjustments to the regulations, Vermes remains hopeful of change.
“It's probably half the teams in the league would say, ‘hey, let's open everything up.’ And another half would say, ‘I don't want anybody to come into my area, because I got all these kids now,’” he said.
“There's a plethora of kids in those East and West coasts,” contended Vermes. “There's more than enough for everybody to participate. And I think the objective is [to] get the best kids in MLS academies, and let's go from there. And I am here to say that I don't necessarily think that we're doing that all over the place.”
Not bowing out
Despite the stiff headwinds Sporting are currently battling, the club’s leaders aren’t ready to write off 2022 just yet (19 regular-season games remain).
The stability of Vermes’ model has allowed SKC to grow more ambitious in the transfer market over the years, and while he declined to delve into details about their plans for the MLS Secondary Transfer Window (runs July 7 to Aug. 4), he is hopeful of swinging some new acquisitions soon. Their hunt for a fifth Open Cup trophy is very much alive; they’ll host USL League One upstarts Union Omaha in an intriguing quarterfinal showdown on June 22.
If he and his staff can keep producing resourceful adaptations and sustain Sporting’s traditional fighting spirit, they believe they can hang around and find form when the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs chase crystallizes in a few months. SKC have made the postseason all but one year from 2011-21.
“I'm not going to drop the standard lower than what we always expect,” said Vermes. “Our objective is to try to make the playoffs every year and then compete for trophies. We're trying to do that in the Open Cup. We're trying, we're inching along here, but we want to make the playoffs, and then put ourselves in a position where hey, maybe we get some more guys healthy. Maybe we’re able to make some acquisitions here in the summertime that then can spend a couple months trying to get adapted and acclimated to our team.
“And then maybe we can put make a push at the end, and who knows, maybe be a team that comes on fire at the end.” | https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/peter-vermes-sporting-kc-tackle-unprecedented-2022-something-i-ve-never-experien | 2022-06-11T20:33:42Z | https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/peter-vermes-sporting-kc-tackle-unprecedented-2022-something-i-ve-never-experien | false | 1 |
Decades of mass tourism have taken a toll on the waters, coral reefs and natural spaces of Egypt’s most popular resort city.
Now, as Sharm El Sheikh gears up to host the Cop27 climate change conference in November, preparations have brought much-needed development for the beach town, which suffered a slump in tourism when the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
But locals are apprehensive about an anticipated increase in global interest in the tourist destination after Cop27.
Some worry the crowd will further damage the fragile ecosystem surrounding the Red Sea.
The National spoke to some of the city’s local diving instructors, who see first hand the state of the Red Sea’s ecosystem and the damage it has sustained over the years because of tourism.
“Sharm has some of the most beautiful diving spots in the world, no question. But what you have to keep in mind is that the majority of its tourists don’t come here for the diving,” said Sherif Khairat, head of technical diving at Circle Divers, a prolific centre in the area which organises regular clean-up initiatives in the Red Sea.
“Most people come for the nightlife or the beach, and they’re on vacation, they treat the city like any other beach resort they have been to, which is not right because it is truly unique.”
Mr Khairat said before president Hosni Mubarak was ousted in 2011, the city was not accessible to a large portion of Egyptians, mainly lower-paid citizens who were kept away by high pricing schemes.
However, in the politically unstable years between Mubarak’s removal and the election of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in 2014, the city began to open to a larger segment of the populace, making it much more crowded than it once was, which Mr Khairat said had a direct effect on the deterioration of the city’s environment.
“The trick is that we as Egyptians are not raised with an awareness of the environment and how to preserve it,” he said.
“This is why I think that the top priority for the government with Cop27 is to set a good example for the citizens and educate them that their actions have consequences for the world around them.”
In response to increasing amounts of plastic waste thrown into the Red Sea by tourists, in 2019 the city’s municipal authorities banned the use of single-use plastics.
Circle Divers is one of several diving centres in the city that organises regular clean-up efforts in the sea. However, it is not enough to resolve the problem.
Like Mr Khairat, the city’s more environmentally minded residents are hoping that sustainability mandates announced by the government ahead of the conference will bear fruit. But many of them are unsure whether the strategies will be enforced after the conference closes.
“Rules are nothing without enforcement,” Mr Khairat said. “We already have signs everywhere asking people politely to not throw their garbage in the sea or feed the fish. They don’t listen a lot of the time and they are not reprimanded, because tourists are valuable in Sharm, which creates a little bit of a conflict of interest.”
On the other hand, many of the city’s residents admit to being more excited by a potential boost in tourism after Cop27 than they are about a greener future for the city.
“Sharm El Sheikh is nothing without tourists in it,” said Mohamed Hashem, 34, a coffee shop attendant in the city.
“The city has had quite a dramatic history compared with other tourist destinations in Egypt. Whether it’s terror attacks like the downing of the Russian plane in 2015 or the regular droughts in the tourism markets because of international crises, there is always something that sets us back here.
"The hope is that this conference will establish a blank slate for Sharm and maybe lead to more steady business.”
Meanwhile, others among the city’s workers are happy that their financial interests are aligned with a more sustainable future for the city.
“I think it was very intelligent of President El Sisi to combine all of the nation’s interests into one event,” said Ali Ibrahim, 58, a resident of the coastal city.
“On the one hand you’ve got the environmentalism stuff that is the talk of the whole world right now. On the other hand, it is a perfect opportunity to put Egypt and Sharm El Sheikh in the international spotlight, which will inevitably result in a boost in tourism.”
Sharm El Sheikh is undergoing one of its most extensive makeovers in preparation for the conference, with several projects under way, including two additional solar power plants, a number of charging stations for electric vehicles, a large-scale road-widening project and the establishment of a 12.5-hectare central park.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Nick Biddison hit two of No. 4 overall seed Virginia Tech’s five home runs, including one to lead off the game, and the Hokies stayed alive in the Blacksburg Super Regional with a 14-8 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday.
The win by Virginia Tech (45-12) forces a winner-take-all game with Oklahoma (40-22) on Sunday for a berth in the College World Series. The Sooners beat the Hokies 5-4 in Friday’s opener. The Sooners are aiming for their 11th CWS appearance — winning the event in 1951 and 1994. Virginia Tech has never been to the CWS and just won its first regional tournament.
Gavin Cross and Cade Hunter hit two-run shots in the third to put Virginia Tech ahead 5-0.
Oklahoma scored three in the bottom of the third — on a RBI single by Blake Robertson and a two-run single by Jimmy Crooks — and added another run in the fourth on a solo homer by Brett Squires to get within 5-4.
The Hokies pulled away with a four-run fifth — sparked by Tanner Shobel’s lead-off home run. Carson Jones’ two-run single in the sixth led to three runs and a 12-5 lead. Biddison capped the scoring with a solo homer in the ninth.
Jonah Hurney (6-1) pitched four shutout innings in relief to get the win. He allowed just two hits, striking out seven.
David Sandlin (8-4) took the loss for Oklahoma, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out six.

Russia is attempting to overwhelm Ukrainian forces with barrages of artillery and air strikes as the battle for control of the Donbas region continues, UK intelligence says.
Despite recent advances, Russian troops have so far failed to capture the key strategic city of Severodonetsk amid intense street fighting that has resulted in a high number of casualties on both sides.
In an updated intelligence briefing on Saturday, the Ministry of Defence said Russia was "massing fires with its artillery and air capabilities" in an attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian defences.
It also said that Russia is deploying 1960s era Kh-22 anti-ship missiles against land targets, which could cause "significant collateral damage and civilian casualties".
These 5.5 tonne missiles are "inefficient" and "highly inaccurate" as they were primarily designed to destroy aircraft carriers using a nuclear warhead, the MoD said.
Moscow is resorting to more unconventional attack methods because it is running low on more precise modern missile systems and its fighter jets continue to be thwarted by Ukrainian anti-air capabilities, it said.
The government in Kyiv has pleaded with western countries for faster deliveries of modern battlefield weapons, saying it is massively outgunned by better-armed Russian troops.

The war in the east, where Russia is focussing its attention, is now primarily an artillery battle in which Kyiv is severely outgunned, Ukrainian officials say.
"This is an artillery war now," Vadym Skibitsky, Ukraine's deputy head of military intelligence, told Britain's The Guardian newspaper.
"Everything now depends on what (the West) gives us. Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces."
Ukraine has said the tide of events could be turned only if Washington and others fulfil promises to send more and better weaponry, including rocket systems.
It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was trying to "break every town in the Donbas".
"Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bakhmut, Sloviansk, many, many others," he said in his nightly address. "All these ruins were once happy towns."
Mr Zelenskyy's adviser Oleksiy Arestovych estimated the Russian army is losing on average five to six times as many fighters as the Ukrainian side.
Asked in a social media interview whether that suggested the Ukrainian army had lost up to 10,000 fighters in the first 100 days of the war, Mr Arestovych said, "Yes, something like that.”
Weapons experts from France are helping their Ukrainian counterparts collect evidence of possible Russian war crimes in the northern region of Chernihiv, Ukraine's prosecutor general said. Russia denies targeting civilians.
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday reinforced Washington's commitment to the region in light of Russia's actions.
"Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is what happens when oppressors trample the rules that protect us all," Mr Austin told an Asian security forum in Singapore. "It's a preview of a possible world of chaos and turmoil that none of us would want to live in."
Mr Zelenskyy is expected to give a virtual address to the conference from 0800 GMT. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/uk-news/2022/06/11/russia-massing-artillery-fire-in-attempt-to-overwhelm-ukrainian-forces-uk-says/ | 2022-06-11T20:37:46Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/uk-news/2022/06/11/russia-massing-artillery-fire-in-attempt-to-overwhelm-ukrainian-forces-uk-says/ | false | 1 |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Police seized an arsenal of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition from the home of a homicide suspect in Northern California during a search earlier this week.
The San Jose Police Department said in a statement late Friday that it recovered more than 65 firearms, of which about 25 were illegal assault weapons, along with multiple high-capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition from the home of the 38-year-old suspect.
The suspect was arrested last Sunday in connection with a fatal shooting in San Jose on June 4. Police obtained a search warrant for his residence and on Wednesday discovered the stash of weapons, which also included two stolen guns and two so-called ghost guns, which are privately made firearms without serial numbers.
In addition to homicide charges, the suspect also faces several more illegal firearm charges, the statement said.
The suspect is in custody at the Santa Clara County Main Jail. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/California-police-seize-arsenal-of-65-guns-and-17235476.php | 2022-06-11T20:38:09Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/California-police-seize-arsenal-of-65-guns-and-17235476.php | false | 11 |
Limestone and Lauderdale Counties are 10 days away from the runoff for Alabama House of Representatives District 2 race. The results of the Republican primary have been contested. This will not be the first time that Limestone County has seen this, multiple Republican races have been contested or challenged in the last five years.
Former Limestone County District 4 Commissioner Ben Harrison and current Limestone County District 3 Commissioner Jason Black will face each other in the runoff. The Alabama Republican Candidate Committee is not scheduled to hear the contest until after the June 21 runoff.
Harrison said in a statement regarding the contest, “I have never had one of my elections contested before, so this is new territory for me. I am hopeful that there were no serious issues with the May 24th primary and that we can move forward.”
While Harrison himself has not been contested before, some of his opponents in other elections in Limestone have been challenged by the Republican party. He did not respond to questions about those races.
He said, “I am trying to not let this slow me down as I continue to campaign and talk to voters across district 2. I do support every investigation into election security where there are unanswered questions. I stand behind my record of demanding secure and honest elections for all voters. I am also committed to running a clean race focusing on my conservative record and platform.”
In a letter from Jason Black dated June 6, 2022, he said, “I wholeheartedly believe elections should be fair and impartial. I believe that Alabama as a whole and our Secretary of State’s Office is the best or near the best in the United States when handling elections.”
Black said, “I also remember others being removed from the Republican ballot in recent years. I know there were reasons for this removal presented, but I still cannot help but feel exposed that the committee will base decisions on emotional actions.”
The election
Harrison was the primary winner with Black coming in second. One-hundred seventy five votes separated the two.
After the primary votes were all counted, Harrison received 3,290 votes (32.81 percent). Black amassed 3,115 (31.06 percent) with Kimberly Butler trailing by just fourteen votes at 3,101 (30.92 percent). Fourth place candidate Terrance Irelan received 517 votes (5.21 percent).
Harrison did not receive the most votes in Lauderdale or Limestone County, but respectable second place showings in both counties elevated him into first overall. In Limestone County, Black received 1,971 votes (46.50 percent). Harrison earned 1,435 (33.85 percent) and Butler 748 (17.65 percent).
The contest
After election officials reviewed provisional ballots, the official results saw Black’s total lead over Butler increase to fourteen votes. After a long week of waiting, the runoff between Harrison and Black was set. Less than 24 hours later, the candidates learned the race was one of five being contested by Ralph D. Long and Walter L. Patterson Jr. on grounds of “malconduct, fraud, and/or corruption.”
The contest submission explains violations of campaign laws and voting procedure. It cites specific examples for the other contested races, but not District 2.
On June 6, the Alabama Republican Party announced their Candidate Committee would hear four contests on June 25 — four days after the runoff. Only the District 2 race was selected from the five submitted by Long and Patterson. The other three that will be reviewed were contests submitted from other districts.
Ralph D. Long is a resident of Lauderdale County and the chairman of the Alabama Freedom Political Action Committee. The Alabama Freedom PAC has donated a total of $29,000 to Ben Harrison’s campaign with Long personally donating an additional $5,000, according to donations reported by Harrison’s campaign to the State of Alabama. The News Courier reached out to the Alabama Freedom PAC for a comment from Long.
“I originally got involved in the election contests because I was concerned about several of the Lauderdale County elections (including those of the Alabama and Lauderdale Republican Executive Committees) that may have been affected by misconduct and/or negligent issuance of ballots by the polling officials at several polling locations. I took part in a joint contest with Mr. Patterson because he was concerned about the same issues in the House District 2 race. When I learned that Alabama Republican Party was dismissing all but one of our contests because of legal filing requirements, I agreed out of respect for my friend, Mr. Patterson, that I would join with him in the 2nd House District contest,” Long said.
“When it comes to election integrity, many in our country are concerned about the accuracy of vote totals. And while I understand that filing requirements have a purpose, I am very disappointed that all my original contests will not be heard. I believe each questionable race should be looked into,” he said.
Alabama GOP Chair John Wahl spoke to The News Courier to clarify the process of contesting an election and why only one of the five contested by Long and Patterson are being heard by the Alabama Republican Party Candidate Committee. “Only one election contest can be contested per letter submitted,” he said. “Those who contested the race chose District 2.”
Walter L. Patterson Jr., is the father of Kimberly Butler; he made no financial contributions to her campaign, based on records from the State of Alabama. Kimberly Butler told The News Courier that although she would love to speak, she was unsure if she should speak on an open case. The News Courier did not have direct contact for Patterson Jr. but asked Butler to reach to him. As of publication The News Courier has not heard back from him.
When asked about possible outcomes from the Candidate Committee’s decision expected on June 25, John Wahl said “We are in uncharted territory. The priority is that the voters’ will is done.”
Black said “my biggest concerns are long shots, but honestly capable of happening. The first is throwing out a runoff result that will happen on June 21st. ... Another option would be to disqualify the May 24th election and require a new primary election.”
A pattern
This is not the first time Limestone County has seen ballot and campaign controversies over the past decade.
In 2019, then Republican candidate for Limestone County District 4 Commissioner LaDon Townsend was removed from the GOP ballot prior to the March 2020 primary election, as previously reported by The News Courier.
In a letter from 2018 Republican candidate for sheriff, Eric Redd, to then Alabama Republican Party Chairwoman, Terry Lathan, Redd challenged Townsend’s candidacy due to a show of support for then Democrat Sheriff Mike Blakely and former District 4 Commissioner Bill Daws. The News Courier has reported on Blakely’s own controversy since the elections.
“As the 2018 Republican nominee for Limestone County sheriff, I find this support inappropriate for a Republican candidate. Though LaDon Townsend has a right to support anyone he chooses, he does not have the right to use the Republican Party ticket to do so,” Redd wrote in the letter.
The challenge was successful, leaving then Limestone County District 4 Commissioner Ben Harrison unopposed in the Republican primary.
Harrison said at the time, “I’ve always stayed focused on my own campaign and the issues facing Limestone County. I don’t get involved in other people’s campaigns, and I have not even seen the information from the state party.”
Current Alabama GOP Chairman and Limestone resident John Wahl was serving as the senior vice-chair of ALGOP at the time of the challenge, meaning he was a part of the Steering Committee that ruled against Townsend. As chairman, he is still a part of the committee that will determine the outcome of a contested election.
John Wahl’s brother, Noah Wahl, who is chairman of the Limestone County Republican Executive Committee defended the manner in which the challenge was handled.
“I know the Republican Party feels a great duty to the voters to make sure Republican candidates represent the values of the party. The process can be painful, and I truly feel for all persons involved,” Noah Wahl said in 2019. “Ballot challenges happen every election cycle and at every level all across the state. ALGOP has guidelines to handle ballot challenges, and I have been assured that Townsend’s challenge was handled no different from the others they handled.”
The News Courier reached out to Noah Wahl for this story and had not heard back by publication.
Townsend collected enough signatures to qualify as an Independent and faced Harrison in the general election. “I want to support everybody in District 4, and Blakely and Daws live in District 4,” Townsend said to The News Courier for this story.
Townsend defeated Harrison and currently serves as District 4’s commissioner.
In 2018, Jason White was barred from running as a Republican in the Limestone County’s sheriff’s race and did not gain enough signatures by the deadline to qualify as an Independent candidate for the general election. Other candidates were Democrat incumbent Mike Blakely and Republican candidate Eric Redd.
White had run as a Republican candidate for sheriff in 2002. White, a former Athens police officer, had said he believed he was barred from running on the GOP ticket in 2018 due to his sexual orientation.
Noah Wahl denied that White’s sexual orientation was the reason for barring him from the GOP ticket. “The challenge to Mr. White’s candidacy as a Republican was simple, was he a Republican? After careful deliberation the committee could not answer that question with a yes,” he said in January of 2018. Wahl also cited that White did not vote for Donald Trump for President.
In 2016, Limestone County Republican Executive Committee member Nelson “Bruce” Reynolds filed ethics complaints against Independent candidate for District 4 Commissioner Bill Daws. Reynolds, a supporter of then District 4 commissioner Ben Harrison, filed complaints that Daws failed to list the required information on all of his campaign materials.
Daws, a former Democrat who served as District 4 Commissioner, had been unseated by Harrison in 2012. Daws addressed the complaint filed by Reynolds. “It’s an example of dirty politics. I am sticking to the issues. I don’t want to get into negative campaigning. There is too much work to be done; too many roads to fix. There are too many other issues we need to be discussing and solving,” he said.
The News Courier reached out to Daws for this story and had not heard by the time of publication.
Reynolds pushed back on Daws’ take on the complaint at the time. “I am a Republican, and I am reporting this complaint,” he said. “This is about honesty, integrity, and doing the right thing.”
In 2015, former Limestone County District Attorney Kristi Valls was barred from running as a Republican in the 2016 Limestone County District Attorney race. Valls was a former Democrat who joined the Republican Party in November of 2014. Valls was defeated by Republican Brian Jones in 2010 and hoped to challenge him in the 2016 Republican primary.
The News Courier reached out to Valls and had not heard a response by publication.
Noah Wahl and Wayne Reynolds, both of Limestone County and members of the Republican State Committee at the time, wrote letters arguing against Valls’ placement as a Republican in the District Attorney race.
A resolution signed by Noah Wahl included these reasons to deny Valls’ placement. “There is now serious concern that Kristi Valls may have deceived the LCREC in other areas regarding her conservative credentials and Republican allegiance,” he said. “It is distasteful and in the vein of a sore loser for Kristi Valls to run as a Republican against the very same Republican candidate who beat her as a Democrat.”
Valls ran as an Independent as a result of being barred from the Republican ticket and narrowly lost against current District Attorney Jones.
Noah Wahl wrote in a letter to the editor published in The News Courier January 4, 2020.
“We expect our party leadership and our political candidates to be loyal to the Republican Party. We are concerned if any candidate’s loyalty is called into question. If there are enough issues, that candidate may be denied ballot access. This decision is not made lightly and the state party works hard to make sure every candidate is treated fairly and equally.” | https://www.enewscourier.com/news/republican-primary-vote-under-review/article_c1086f0e-e913-11ec-bbac-b319e41a77a3.html | 2022-06-11T20:38:44Z | https://www.enewscourier.com/news/republican-primary-vote-under-review/article_c1086f0e-e913-11ec-bbac-b319e41a77a3.html | true | 2 |
KHARTOUM: A second round of UN-facilitated talks aiming to resolve Sudan’s political crisis following a military coup have been postponed, a spokesman said Saturday, with a key civilian bloc still refusing to join.
The United Nations, the African Union and regional bloc IGAD launched “direct talks” on Wednesday in an effort to break the political stalemate since last October’s military takeover, led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
Military officials, representatives of several political parties and senior members of ex-rebel groups attended.
But Sudan’s main civilian bloc, the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), which was ousted from power in the coup, and the influential Umma party refused to join.
Members of the resistance committees — informal groups which emerged during the 2018-2019 protests that ousted president Omar al-Bashir and have led calls for recent anti-coup rallies — were also absent.
The next round had been slated for Sunday.
Instead, the UN, AU and IGAD have “decided to postpone Sunday’s round of talks following the latest developments”, said Fadi al-Qadi, spokesman for the UN’s Sudan mission, UNITAMS.
“We have not set a date for the resumption of the talks,” he added.
On Thursday, a delegation from the FFC held an “unofficial” meeting with military officials in a bid to break the impasse.
The meeting followed an invitation by US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee and the Saudi ambassador to Khartoum, the FFC said.
But the civilian bloc has still refused to take part in the talks, calling them a “fake political solution” which “legitimises the coup”.
The political process should start “with ending the coup” and launching a constitutional phase that is built on “full civilian rule”, the FFC said in a statement Friday.
The October military takeover derailed Sudan’s fragile transition to civilian rule that had been established following the 2019 ouster of Bashir.
It also plunged Sudan into deepening unrest — near-weekly protests, a violent crackdown that has killed over 100 people and a tumbling economy. | https://arynews.tv/sudan-post-coup-talks-postponed-as-civilian-bloc-refuses-to-join/ | 2022-06-11T20:41:47Z | https://arynews.tv/sudan-post-coup-talks-postponed-as-civilian-bloc-refuses-to-join/ | false | 1 |

As a tundra fire moved closer to St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point on Friday, federal officials urged residents of the lower Yukon River communities to pack essential belongings and plan a way to get out if needed.
The fire was five miles from St. Mary’s on Friday night. It had spread about two miles closer during the day, driven by 30 mph gusts across dry grass, according to the Bureau of Land Management.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy has issued a disaster declaration in response to the fire, which has grown to an estimated 71,000 acres over the last week and a half, according to satellite data.
More than 700 people live in St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point. A road connects the two communities. About 80 residents chose to fly from St. Mary’s to Bethel on Thursday, June 9, and about 60 more followed on Friday.
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation and regional airline Yute Commuter Service are coordinating the flights.
People have who chosen to leave are mostly elders, people with medical issues, and mothers with young children. They are being housed in Bethel at the National Guard Armory and Gladys Jung Elementary School. YKHC is testing everyone who arrives for COVID-19. Some people are choosing to stay with family or friends in Bethel or travel on to Anchorage.
Meanwhile, federal officials are deploying more resources to the area to try to prevent the fire from reaching the villages. But another fire has ignited nearby, and to complicate efforts, the community water tank in St. Mary’s is leaking.
BLM has sent about a dozen more firefighters to the area since Thursday, increasing its crew to 66, and air tankers are dropping fire retardant around St. Mary’s. BLM Public Information Officer Beth Ipsen said that the retardant will wet the vegetation and help prevent the fire from moving past it to the community.
Even more firefighters are scheduled to arrive. Andrew Flagg of Yute Commuter Service said the airline was sending six planes to fly firefighters in from McGrath to St. Mary’s. Altogether, those planes can carry 30 passengers.
Ipsen said that hot weather, dry grass, constant wind and little rain have thwarted fire crews’ attempts to contain the fire so far.
“This is what we call a wind- and fuel-driven fire, meaning that the wind is pushing it through, and the vegetation is very receptive to burning. It’s also resistant to control,” Ipsen said.
Some firefighters are traveling along the river by boat, working to protect Native allotments and fish camps.
A larger team accustomed to coordinating more complicated responses is set to take over Saturday. Temperatures this weekend are expected to remain warm and dry.
Meanwhile, lightning started another fire nearby. This one is burning 33 miles north of Mountain Village and has grown to at least 60 acres. Four smokejumpers have been deployed to the fire, and helicopters are dropping water on the area.
Ipsen said that surrounding wetlands could help contain its spread.
In St. Mary’s, the water level has been dropping in the community’s water tank for days. St. Mary’s School District Superintendent Dee Dee Ivanoff says that it fell 12 inches on June 9, and workers have been unable to locate the leak.
Ivanoff is working with volunteers to raise money through a GoFundMe campaign to buy pallets of bottled water.
“So in case we have to use up all our water, we will at least have potable water,” Ivanoff said.
YKHC is also sending bottled water, and state Emergency Operations Center spokesperson Jeremy Zidek said that the state does not anticipate that St. Mary’s will experience a drinking water shortage.
Meanwhile, on the ground in St. Mary’s, Ivanoff has been coordinating rides to the airport for people who want to leave. Her parents already flew to Bethel.
“It’s a relief to get people out, including those who are elderly and high risk,” she said.
She drove people in her truck while her employees drove others in the school bus and van. She called the scene “surreal.”
Ivanoff said that so much smoke blew into the community recently that it set off a school smoke alarm. She says her sister is loading a boat in case her family needs to leave, but Ivanoff intends to stay to watch the school. | https://www.ktoo.org/2022/06/11/east-fork-fire-5-miles-st-marys/ | 2022-06-11T20:47:07Z | https://www.ktoo.org/2022/06/11/east-fork-fire-5-miles-st-marys/ | false | 1 |
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Saturday that Australia will pay French company Naval Group around $578 million to settle a scrapped deal to build defense submarines in South Australia. Photo by Paul Braven/EPA-EFE
June 11 (UPI) -- Australia's new prime minister announced Saturday that his government has agreed to pay $578 million to settle a submarine dispute with France.
"Now that the matter is resolved we can move forward with the relationship with France. Australia and France share deep historical ties of friendship, forged in common sacrifice in war," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a statement.
The dispute stemmed from a decision made by the government of former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison who, with the support of Albanese's Australian Labor Party, canceled a $64 billion contract with France's state-controlled Naval Group for non-nuclear submarines.
Instead, Australia decided to pursue an alliance with the United States and Britain which would help the country acquire at least eight nuclear-propelled submarines.
As noted by Politico, the previous decision by Australia to scrap the program threatened ongoing trade discussions with the European Union.
"We deeply respect France's role and active engagement in the Indo-Pacific. Given the gravity of the challenges that we face both in the region and globally, it is essential that Australia and France once again unite to defend our shared principles and interests," Albanese said.
"I look forward to taking up President [Emmanuel] Macron's invitation to visit Paris at an early opportunity, and to continuing to work closely with him as we deepen the strategic partnership between our nations."
French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu said in a statement from the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore that the settlement would help France overcome its "crisis of confidence" with Australia. | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/11/australia-agrees-pay-578-million-settle-submarine-dispute-france/8981654969047/ | 2022-06-11T20:47:13Z | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/11/australia-agrees-pay-578-million-settle-submarine-dispute-france/8981654969047/ | false | 1 |
Mariners Reunite With Kevin Padlo, DFA Drew Steckenrider
The Mariners have claimed infielder Kevin Padlo, who was designated for assignment by the Giants on Wednesday. To make room for Padlo on the 40-man roster, Seattle designated veteran right-handed reliever Drew Steckenrider for assignment.
This is the second time in the last 10 months that Padlo has been picked up off waivers by the Mariners, initially joining the team last August following his exit from the Rays organization. He now returns after being traded to San Francisco for cash on April 26.
Padlo appeared in four games at the major league level for the Giants, going 2 for 12 with a pair of singles and four strikeouts. He also slashed .275/.333/.600 with seven home runs and 16 RBI in 87 plate appearances for San Francisco's Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento.
Seattle's decision to move on from Steckenrider may come as a surprise to some. While the 31-year old was recently demoted to Triple-A Tacoma following a dreadful start to the season, he is still less than a year removed from being a key cog in the Mariners' top-ranked bullpen in 2021.

Steckenrider, however, quickly became too much of a liability on Seattle's major league roster, posting a 5.65 ERA, 4.60 FIP and a 1.81 WHIP in 16 appearances. His woes followed him down to the minors as well, resulting in four runs—three earned—being scored against him in as many innings.
If a team goes on to claim Steckenrider in the coming days, it will inherit roughly $2 million of his remaining salary. | https://www.si.com/mlb/mariners/news/mariners-reunite-with-kevin-padlo-dfa-drew-steckenrider | 2022-06-11T20:47:47Z | https://www.si.com/mlb/mariners/news/mariners-reunite-with-kevin-padlo-dfa-drew-steckenrider | true | 1 |

Ruger, a popular singer, was subjected to sexual harassment by a fan while performing live at a concert.
This comes just two months after a female fan squeezed the singer’s genitals on stage.
Ruger made his way to the front row during a performance in Australia and was unexpectedly kissed on the lips by an overzealous female fan.
“Let’s normalize Ruger performing inside a cage now😭🤣,” a concerned user wrote.
Another concerned user of the singer added, “Ruger don suffer for this music business.”

Major League Baseball has taken its fair share of criticism for changes trying to get younger fans interested in the game, but there has been one this season that has generated rave reviews.
MLB has expanded letting players being mic'd up and interviewed during games after doing it on a limited basis from 2017-20. It has become a weekly occurrence on ESPN's “Sunday Night Baseball” and has produced some fun moments.
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised that it has gathered and maintained momentum, because it’s not the first time we’ve asked for and had collaboration," ESPN vice president of production Phil Orlins said. "So to see it get rolling this year, along with a tangible enthusiasm from players to be a part of it has been a pleasant breakthrough.”
Fox first did the in-game interviews with players during the 2017 All-Star Game in Miami. ESPN followed in 2018-19 in spring training before having it in a limited capacity during the shortened 2020 regular season.
It was put on hold last year due to frayed relations with the MLB Players Association. But now that there is labor peace again, mic’d up is back with ESPN seeing most of the benefits so far.
ESPN analyst David Cone said having players mic’d up also gives them a chance to display their personalities and increase the marketing of the game.
“Their personalities need to be shown more like other sports, and this is the best opportunity,” he said. “It’s great that the opportunity is there and it has been embraced. Every one of the players has presented a side of their personality that otherwise wouldn’t have been seen.”
Players have also shown that they can continue to play at a high level with the earpiece and mic on. The only comparison to what MLB and ESPN are doing is having NASCAR drivers interviewed during races, but that is occurring during caution periods and not when they are going wheel to wheel for the lead.
“We don’t know what that player is going to say or what the outcome is. We’ve had situations where Francisco Lindor gets a groundball, and he was scared to death that he was going to boot it while Max Scherzer was on the mound, and he’s mic'd up with us. And then the relief of the human side of it because he was happy he made the play,” ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez said.
Besides Lindor discussing the intensity of New York Mets teammate Scherzer on the mound, Cincinnati's Joey Votto did some impromptu play-by-play from first base during the opening night game against Atlanta.
Boston outfielder Kiké Hernandez discussed whether he was going to throw home or to second base if he had a ball hit to him. When the Yankees' Anthony Rizzo had a base hit to center, fans could hear Hernandez coming up on the ball and then making a full-bodied throw home.
Lindor, who was mic'd up during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 1, said there wasn't much of an adjustment compared to what he normally does during a game.
“I do talking during the games anyway so it's not something different,” he said. “The fans get to hear a little bit of interaction and how I am processing the game and that's always fun for the fans.”
Three-time AL MVP Mike Trout is slated to be this week’s mic’d up player when the Los Angeles Angels host the Mets.
The only positions that haven't done it yet are pitcher and catcher. ESPN announcer Karl Ravech also noted that it might also been interesting to have an umpire do it one week.
“I think the unknown of any individual is what makes this whole thing great,” he said. "We believe we know certain personalities and they’re going to be great. We believe we know certain personalities who probably aren’t conducive to it or turn out to be unbelievable at this kind of byplay.
"We learned a lot about Bryce Harper when was a DH. He gave us so much insight from a star player that you wouldn’t otherwise get. And yet Harper, for the most part is probably probably considered kind of a quiet guy. We got so much out of him because we’re talking about baseball, you know, his comfort zone."
Mic'd up is likely to expand to other broadcasts as well. MLB chief revenue officer Noah Garden said Fox will do it during next month's All-Star Game in Los Angeles while the opportunities are there as well for Peacock's Sunday afternoon games and Apple TV+'s coverage on Friday nights.
“We've always been working with our media partners to innovate our broadcasts and I think it is important for us to continue that. These have gone well and you continue to push forward,” he said.

Charl Schwartzel crowned winner of inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
After a long three days, 54 holes, no cuts and shotgun starts, 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel is officially the first victor of the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series.
With 15 pro titles to his name, Schwartzel cliched an individual victory as well as a team victory for his group Stinger GC, which includes Louis Oosthuizen, Hennie du Plessis, Schwartzel, Branden Grace.
Round three of three of the controversial series proved to be a walk in the park for the South African golfer. No one put much heat on Schwartzel, who remained in first through the entirety of the 18 holes. As a matter of fact, three Stinger GC members – Schwartzel with 7-under, Plessis with 6-under, and Grace with 5-under – claimed the top three spots.
Peter Uihlein tied Grace for third with 5-under and Sam Horsfield secured fifth place with 3-under. Dustin Johnson took eighth place with 1-under.
Coming into the third and final round of the Saudi-Backed golf invitational, Schwartzel, who also happens to be one of the 17 PGA Tour members suspended, held the lead through the first two rounds of play.

He shot a four-under 66 during the second round at the Centurion Club in England, leaving him with a huge lead at nine under par for the tournament. He was three shots ahead of second place Hennie Du Plessis, who was two shots ahead of third place Peter Uihlein.
In the first round, six-time major champion Phil Mickelson and two-time major champion Johnson were both four shots off the lead after shooting 1-under. While in round two, Johnson moved to sixth place still with 1-under, while Mickelson fell to 26th with 4-over after struggling a five-over 75 on Friday.
The event marked Mickelson’s first return to competitive golf since February. He was grouped with 10 other golfers, including Johnson, competing in the inaugural tournament after resigning their PGA Tour membership.
And that’s that. The first sector of the novel LIV golf series has wrapped for the 48 competitors. Next, we head to Portland for the second invitational of the LIV golf series on June 30. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/charl-schwartzel-crowned-winner-of-inaugural-liv-golf-invitational-series/2914765/ | 2022-06-11T21:13:50Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/charl-schwartzel-crowned-winner-of-inaugural-liv-golf-invitational-series/2914765/ | false | 10 |
