At Grant Thornton House, part of The Terrace precinct, Christchurch property developer Antony Gough is laying out how he sees the future of Ōtautahi Christchurch. He welcomes the idea of Christchurch becoming a Super City, with a vibrant CBD at its heart acting as a magnet for further growth.
"It should happen. To see where we are now, 10 years on from the earthquakes, is incredible. We're well-organised and the City has got legs."
Conventionally dull business attire is not Antony's style and neither is bland property development. The man behind The Terrace – Christchurch's popular riverside hospitality hub – is a colourful soul in every sense with a deep and abiding loyalty to the City. His innate drive to dazzle and inspire is writ large in what he's achieved at The Terrace.
As chair of the Central City Business Association, he played a pivotal role in getting the Re:Start container mall up and going in Cashel St after the February 2011 earthquake. It was a critical first step toward recovery in the CBD. His bigger vision, working within the Blueprint recovery plan, was then to transform the city's riverside waterfront into a multi-million dollar, double-storey layout of bars and eateries, linked by lifts, lanes and air bridges. He and his design team even went to Melbourne with tape measures to make sure the new laneways would be just the right width.

Advertise with NZME.Complemented by offices and generous car parking, it is a vision that has delivered for the City. The first bars here, facing the Ōtākaro/Avon River, opened in 2018. Christchurch without The Terrace – and its eclectic mix of architectural styles – would now be simply unimaginable. "We have a strong concentration of hospitality offerings, all different. There are fantastic ongoing opportunities here, as we keep adding to it, and the retail hospitality area is also very well-serviced for car parking."
Sharing the boardroom with Antony at today's interview is Angelique Bott, operations/property manager at The Terrace, who notes that Antony has recently sold 1000sq m of land "over the back" to fellow local investor Richard Peebles (Riverside, Little High Eatery).
"It's going through council consent at the moment," she says. "It'll be a combination of retail facing Cashel Street Mall and hospitality facing our precinct. Our local investors here really do work together at that operational scale – we're a team. It's all about bringing more people into the City."
Antony agrees, noting that Christchurch's remarkable rebuild and recovery story owes much to its local investor community, including Nick Hunt (BNZ Centre) and Philip Carter (The Crossing). "We should be very thankful to Ballantynes for staying the course too," he says.
While the central City is now much more compact than it was before the earthquakes, Antony sees this as an advantage because everything is so easy to access. He believes it's punchy enough to serve as the beating heart of a new Super City that could include towns like Lincoln, Rolleston, Rangiora and Kaiapoi. He remembers how Christchurch was once ruled by many little competing boroughs and boards, but ultimately a single City council was a much better model. Now, with burgeoning populations to the city's north and south – and with fast commuter links – it's easy for him to glimpse that Super City on the horizon.
"Becoming a Super City by including the outlying councils like Selwyn and Waimakariri seems like the most sensible thing to me, because at the moment we have too much doubling up on bureaucracy.
Why do we need three mayors and thirty-something councillors when one mayor and 15 or so councillors would do fine?"
With the multi-use arena signed off by the Christchurch City Council, the elephant in the Super City room right now is if neighbouring councils will contribute to the costs. Gough suggests one solution could be to levy a surcharge on tickets for non-locals. He is in no doubt, though, that if Christchurch wants to be competitive as a Super City, then it will have to offer the facilities to match.

Advertise with NZME.Antony is confident the City is heading in the right direction, with its new convention centre (Te Pae) and a new recreation and sport complex also coming next year.

A Missouri resident who was infected with a rare brain-eating amoeba that likely happened after swimming in a southwestern Iowa lake has died.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services says the patient died due to primary amebic meningoencephalitis, a rare and usually fatal infection caused by the naegleria fowleri ameba.
Health officials say they believe the parasite was contracted at Lake of Three Fires near Bedford, Iowa, about two hours north of Kansas City. The name and age of the patient will not be released, officials said.
Iowa officials closed the Lake of Three Fires State Park near Taylor County as a precaution on July 7. The beach remains closed. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/missouri-swimmer-likely-infected-with-amoeba-in-iowa-dies/2883750/ | 2022-07-17T18:00:47Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/missouri-swimmer-likely-infected-with-amoeba-in-iowa-dies/2883750/ | true | null |

Jake Paul has some thoughts on the ongoing dispute between Nate Diaz and the UFC.
As expected, the YouTube star-turned-boxer gave opinion on Diaz’s contract dispute with the UFC and the latest comments from Diaz and UFC president Dana White.
Diaz on Saturday refuted White’s comments and said he hasn’t been offered a fight in nine months, contrary to what White told reporters at UFC on ABC 3.
“Dana The Turd White degrades Nate Diaz to the media & then in private gets on his knees begging Nate to stay so they can try & revive Conor McGregor,” Paul wrote on Twitter. “Get on your knees & beg you old f*ck.”
Dana The Turd White degrades Nate Diaz to the media & then in private gets on his knees begging Nate to stay so they can try & revive Conor McGregor. Get on your knees & beg you old fuck. https://t.co/fU8UIW2x5T
— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 17, 2022
Those comments come on the heels of a recent interview by Diaz in which he aired his frustrations with the company. Diaz claimed he’s being held “hostage” by the promotion while he looks to complete the final fight of his deal and test free agency.
White said Diaz is painting a false narrative. He said Diaz has been offered fights, but has refused them. White wouldn’t go into detail on what fights had actually been offered to Diaz. | https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/07/jake-paul-calls-ufc-dana-white-turd-over-nate-diaz-contract | 2022-07-17T18:06:08Z | https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/07/jake-paul-calls-ufc-dana-white-turd-over-nate-diaz-contract | false | 1 |

As research suggests that COVID-19 has infected roughly half of the Canadian population, the emergence of an even more contagious version of the virus means some people may be in for another round.
But questions remain about the prevalence of reinfection, and the short and long-term health impact that subsequent cases of the virus could have.
With cases on the rise, here’s what the experts had to say about the emerging evidence of reinfections.
How likely are reinfections?
The emergence of the Omicron variant ushered in a tsunami of infections that saw the proportion of the population with antibodies to the virus rise from seven per cent to 45 per cent between December 2021 and May 2022, according to an analysis published by Canada’s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force this month.
The task force’s co-chair, Catherine Hankins, said the jury is still out on how likely it is that this previously infected population will catch the virus again, particularly as the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron fuels a summer surge.
“All we know is that it can happen,” said Hankins, a professor at McGill University. ”This particular variant is really capable of evading immunity, including immunity to its previous … subvariant.”
Prabhat Jha, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, said early hopes that Omicron would act as a “benign natural booster,” spreading rapidly but causing only mild symptoms, did not bear out.
“As more evidence accumulates, it suggests that Omicron isn’t the great protector that we all thought it would be,” he said, citing data from the U.K.
Lynora Saxinger, a professor with the University of Alberta’s department of medicine, said BA.5 is different enough from previous strains that the immunity built up by a case of an earlier variant may not prevent infection.
“It’s not impossible to get reinfected,” she said.
How much protection do you get from “hybrid immunity”?
People who have been both vaccinated and infected should be bolstered by “hybrid immunity,” said Hankins. But signs that some people are getting reinfected with COVID-19 not long after a previous bout indicates that any natural immune boost would be short-lived, she said.
“People really shouldn’t think it’s done and dusted. They get it, and that’s it,” Hankins said. “You’re going to get it again if you keep exposing yourself.”
Saxinger said that BA.5 may be even more adept at breaking through hybrid protection, but at this point, it’s uncommon for people who have had Omicron to be reinfected by one of its relatives.
“The combination of vaccination plus relatively recent-ish infection… is not terrible against (BA.4 or BA.5,) especially if you don’t have any risk factors.”
Canadian studies have shown that people with three COVID-19 vaccines and one infection have the highest level of antibodies, Jha said.
Still, he emphasized that people who have been infected can benefit from another COVID-19 shot.
“The evidence does very clearly say that counting on a natural infection to protect you is really risky. We knew that from the start,” he said. “The best protection is at least three doses of the vaccine.”
How does reinfection affect the severity of illness?
Hankins said it’s difficult to track whether people, on average, get sicker the second or third time catching COVID-19.
“It seems to vary a lot by people,” she said. “The general expectation would be that you wouldn’t be as sick the second time around, but we’re seeing everything.”
While governments report a high number of people in hospital – some of whom have had the virus before – may seem to suggest that reinfection leads to more serious illness, Saxinger said, that’s not necessarily the case. It’s just that there are more cases of COVID overall.
“It’s really a function of just the sheer volume of transmission where we start to see increases in severe outcomes,” she said. “But on a per person level, the risk of severe outcome still seems to be quite low, especially if you’ve had a combination of being fully vaccinated, and also previously infected.”
Jha said this is another area where more study is needed.
“But in theory, I have no doubt that having multiple infections isn’t good for you,” he said.
“Some cavalier people say, ‘I’m just going to get infected a few times, and then I’ll be fine,’” he added.
It’s also unclear, he said, whether reinfection increases that likelihood of contracting long COVID.
“There is a suggestion that multiple infections can contribute to longer symptoms. But again, this is something we don’t know enough about.”

What should we do?
“Everyone wants a quick answer and says, ‘Okay, I want to know what to do. And I want to get this behind me,’” Jha said. “But the virus works on its own timetable.”
“Our immune system is trying to keep up with a mutating virus … And we have to basically be sensible.”
Increasing third-dose uptake is key to protecting people from reinfections, he said. Each shot you receive reduces the severity of disease.
National data shows only 56 per cent of Canadians 12 and older have at least three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, compared to roughly 90 per cent who have two doses.
Hankins agreed that getting a third shot is crucial.
“This is a highly infectious agent, but the more immunity you have on board, the better it is,” she said.

Christopher Kesel considers himself a rocker, a man with a deeper connection to Pink Floyd than Giuseppe Verdi. But as he crafted his career over the years, Kesel learned there’s one important difference between classic rock and opera:
Puccini pays the bills.
There are many ways to be an artist. You can paint. You can sculpt. Or you can do what Kesel does. Opera San José’s scene shop supervisor and properties artisan paints, sculpts and helps craft the elaborate world — the palazzos of Tosca’s Rome and the garrets of Mimi’s bohemian Paris — that bring an opera to life. And he works alongside his wife, Lori Scheper-Kesel, who has been the company’s properties master and scenic charge artist for more than a decade.
Kesel came to California in 1999 from upstate New York, following his wife as she worked at Shakespeare Santa Cruz’s summer festivals as a props mistress. Their shared artistic talents and his knowledge of carpentry contributed to a variety of Bay Area productions over those summers and eventually landed them at the now-defunct San Jose Repertory Theatre. It was there that the duo’s work caught the eye of legendary Opera San José founder Irene Dalis, who wooed them to the world of Figaro and Falstaff in 2010 or so. They’ve been there ever since.
Q When it comes to scenic design and props construction, what are the biggest differences between theater and opera?
A They’re pushing different buttons. In theater, you might create the illusion of being in a living room or a bar or something like that. In a repertory theater, you would be down to the very last detail — sockets in the walls or a kitchen with functioning appliances, that sort of thing. Opera is much more open and requires more theater of the mind. For example, in opera, you might be in a cathedral — obviously we can’t re-create that, so we imply a cathedral. In opera, you’re giving people visual cues to imply where you are. You can create illusions with drops and flats and some three-dimensional pieces, as well as lighting. I really love that part of opera.
Q Which fits your skill set better?
A The things that I’m good at fit opera much better. My style as an artist is a bit more flamboyant — and I like doing things that are a little bigger.
Q Can you tell us about working with Irene Dalis?
A She was the main reason my wife and I began working at Opera San José — she came after us. It was a difficult transition for us to move into opera, and she made it very easy. She and (former general director) Larry Hancock were big supporters of our work.
Q You and your wife have a deep connection in the work you both do. What makes the working relationship between you so strong?
A We met back in the 1980s at art school, so our main attraction to each other was basically artistic. We’re very connected — we’ve grown up and matured together as artists, so we work pretty good as a team. It’s not always rainbows and waterfalls, you know what I mean? (But) when she moved over to opera, I pretty much followed her there, because working alone wasn’t much fun.
Q You’re a rocker, I know. Do you actually like opera?
A I appreciate opera, but I don’t listen to it in my spare time. I do love the live experience of opera. The singers and what they do, the musicians and everything — I can’t do that. I can’t play an instrument. I can’t sing. To me, it’s like a magic trick, and I appreciate it like that. It’s really sublime how older material is reprocessed and revealed through a modern eye, and something else a little different comes out every time.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I'm Margaret Brennan in Washington.
And this week on Face the Nation: Grim economic numbers prompt new fears of a recession, as President Biden makes a controversial trip to try and help cut global energy prices.
Costs continue to soar, with the price of food, energy and housing all up from May. Inflation is now up 9 percent year over year, despite a strong jobs market and decreasing gas prices. Wall Street and economic observers were shocked by the report. But those numbers came as no surprise to Americans finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
This was not the news the president needed on his Mideast trip, where he was criticized by even some Democrats for meeting with the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The CIA says MBS approved an operation to capture or kill U.S.-based writer Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
(Begin VT)
QUESTION: Do you regret the fist bump, Mr. President?
JOE BIDEN (President of the United States): Why don't you guys talk about something that matters? I'm happy to answer a question that matters.
QUESTION: Will inflation go down from here, Mr. President?
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I'm hoping.
(End VT)
MARGARET BRENNAN: We will devote most of our broadcast to the economy today, Presidential Coordinator on Energy Security Amos Hochstein, former head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Jason Furman, and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser
We will also preview this week's prime-time installment of the January 6 hearings with Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, one of two committee members presenting new evidence Thursday.
Plus, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb is back with us, as monkeypox continues to spread and new COVID variants prompt questions about what kind of booster works best.
It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.
Good morning, and welcome to Face the Nation.
We have a lot to get to today, but we began with the new January 6 investigation developments.
Late Friday, the committee issued a subpoena for Secret Service records following the revelation that the agency had erased text messages from the day before and the day of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Last Tuesday's hearing detailed a chaotic White House meeting between the former president, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, and a group of outside advisers over a plot to seize ballot boxes and overturn the 2020 election.
This week, the panel will hold a prime-time hearing on Thursday focused on the 187 minutes from the time when President Trump left the stage at that rally in the Ellipse...
(Begin VT)
DONALD TRUMP (Former President of the United States): And we're going to walk down to the Capitol!
(End VT)
MARGARET BRENNAN: ... until he issued that infamous video message.
(Begin VT)
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: So go home. We love you. You're very special.
(End VT)
MARGARET BRENNAN: Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger will be co-leading that hearing on Thursday.
Good morning to you.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER (R-Illinois): Good morning.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So let's start with these Secret Service texts.
The agency said this was just a matter of timing and a tech upgrade. Do you believe that? Or was this malicious?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: I think we're going to know more Tuesday.
We made the decision as the committee that we need to subpoena these records. The I.G. came in front of us and said, look, we have been working hard to get this. They claim it was this technological change: We moved everything, we lost these texts.
And then they also put out a statement, though, that said: We've only lost some of the texts and everything relevant to this investigation has been turned over.
So, those are very conflicting statements. So we decided, as a committee, let's request these by Tuesday, and we can make a decision.
I will say this. In the very least, it is quite crazy that the Secret Service would actually end up deleting anything related to one of the more infamous days in American history, particularly when it comes to the role of the Secret Service.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, the subpoena set Tuesday as the deadline. So has the Secret Service said, we will meet that deadline, and these texts still do exist somewhere?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: That's what we've -- from what we understand, they've said: We'll meet this deadline.
And we'll see what we get here. So, either we get that info...
MARGARET BRENNAN: You don't know that they exist still on record?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: We don't know.
So either we get that stuff -- if we end up getting the texts, then obviously, for whatever reason, the I.G. didn't. Now you have what you have. If we don't, then it'll call out the Secret Service as having said that they had these texts, and they don't.
So, is this anything big? We're not sure. But we need to chase every lead down on this, and there's a question of, why are they not cooperating with the I.G., the DHS I.G.?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Inspector general.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: And they need to.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So the committee has, though, spoken in the past with some Secret Service officers.
So do you have a date yet to question the two, in particular, Tony Ornato, about what happened January 6? Of course, he's relevant because of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony about what happened in the vehicle.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Yes.
Look, we're still working on that. We'd love to have him come in. We're working out those details. We know that through, I guess, anonymous sources, they've said they're going to be happy to come in and testify. We would encourage anybody to, anybody that knows anything, but it's got to be under oath.
Right now, it's just been discussion from Secret Service through anonymous sources. And that, to me, compared to somebody like Cassidy Hutchinson, who swore under oath what she had heard, that's important to come in and do that. So that's still ongoing, but, hopefully, we get that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Will you get that by Thursday and this hearing?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: I highly doubt we'll get them coming in and talking by Thursday.
But, again, I would love that. But we keep getting new people coming in every day with information, willing to go on the record. So it's been amazing how, since these hearings have started, the amount of information we're getting has just rapidly accelerated.
MARGARET BRENNAN: CNN was reporting that a D.C. police officer who had been somehow involved in the motorcade arrangements was corroborating the testimony given by Cassidy Hutchinson that there was an almost violent confrontation with the former president in the vehicle that day.
Is that what the committee has been told?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: I can't confirm or deny those, because we haven't come out with who we have or haven't spoken to.
I will just say, I'm not going to aggressively push back on that characterization. And we have every reason to believe that what Cassidy Hutchinson said, at least from what she said she heard, because she wasn't in the limo, never said she was...
MARGARET BRENNAN: She was told this by other officers.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: She was told this. We fully believe that she is a credible witness. And her allegations are quite explosive.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, 187 minutes.
You're leading this hearing. You know what you can present at this point. Can you at least tell us if you filled in the blanks of who the President was actually speaking with, why there weren't phone records, for example, of phone calls he may have placed during that time period?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: We have filled in the blanks.
I can't necessarily say that the motives behind every piece of information we know we'll be able to explain. But this is going to open people's eyes in a big way.
The reality is -- I will give you this preview -- the president didn't do very much but gleefully watch television during this time frame. We're going to present a lot more than that.
But I could only imagine, as -- I mean, I knew what I felt like as a U.S. Congressman. If I was a president, sworn to defend the Constitution -- that includes the legislative branch -- watching this on television, I know I would have been going ballistic to try to save the Capitol. He did quite the opposite.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The president didn't do anything?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: The president didn't do anything.
And we're going to fill those blanks in. And if the American people watch this, particularly -- I say this to my fellow Republicans -- watch this with an open mind. And is this the kind of strong leader you really think you deserve?
MARGARET BRENNAN: The chairman of the committee, Bennie Thompson, has said you all are still discussing whether to go ahead and try to force a conversation with the former vice president, Mike Pence.
His former chief of staff, Marc Short, said on this program this is very low likelihood of ever happening. Do you personally want to subpoena Mike Pence?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Look, I personally want to talk to Mike Pence. I think there's a difference between, do we subpoena him, do we ask him for a transcribed interview? I think it would be important to hear everything he has to say.
That said, I'm not sure we get a ton more out of him than what his staff has already told us. The big question we're still dealing with as a committee is, is there benefit in talking to somebody like Donald Trump and request, and he come in? That's something we're negotiating back and forth on whether we want to do that and what that looks like.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What is the value in speaking directly to the former president and the vice president, when the former vice president's chief of staff and his legal adviser have testified to you?
Why do you need him physically there? And what would the president's testimony do?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Yes, and I'm not sure we do need them physically there, because, again, we're getting a lot of information.
And I think you'll see, after Thursday's hearing, we know a lot. Look, Donald Trump has made it clear that he doesn't mind not telling the truth. Let's just put that mildly. He lies all the time, I wouldn't put it past him to even lie under oath.
So I'm not sure what the value is there. That's, again, something we're -- I think the thing to keep in mind is, this -- this investigation is not winding down. We may be towards the end of this tranche of hearings. We may have more hearings in the future.
And the investigation is still ongoing. So, we're -- we're getting to the bottom of what we need to know.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Tranche of hearings. What does that mean? I mean, how many are you thinking? What more do you have?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Well, we've done -- this is -- this will be our eighth hearing. This is the end in this kind of grouping.
I fully expect, when the report comes out, we may have a hearing or two around that. But, of course, as you saw with Cassidy Hutchinson, if we get information that the American people need to know, we may end up bringing up more hearings at that time too.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So I want to ask you about the former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who spoke, I guess, for eight hours behind closed doors with the committee the other day.
He said to reporters: "There is so much interest in the December 18 Oval Office meeting because it all comes down to it. The crux of history comes down to it."
And then his lawyer said, stop talking.
(LAUGHTER)
MARGARET BRENNAN: What's the rest of the sentence? Exactly what is the crux of history here?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: I don't know. You know, it's hard to get into the mind of somebody like Patrick Byrne. It's hard to get in the mind of somebody like Rudy Giuliani.
Is this a grift? Do they really believe some of these conspiracies? But he has been -- I mean, it seems like Patrick has come to believe that there is some deep state conspiracy to overthrow the government, and -- or to at least have the deep state way of the government.
And so I don't know what would have come next in his mind. But I can tell you his -- he seems a little unmoored from reality when it comes to politics and when it comes to democracy.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, "Mother Jones" published audio this week of Steve Bannon, who was speaking to a group of associates in October, I understand this was recorded, about the former president's plan to declare victory. Let's listen to what he said:
(Begin VT)
STEVE BANNON (Former White House Chief Strategist): And what Trump's going to do is just declare victory, right? He's going to declare victory.
But that doesn't mean he's the winner. He's just going to say he's the winner. That's our strategy. He's going to declare himself the winner. So, when you wake up Wednesday morning, it's going to be a firestorm.
(End VT)
MARGARET BRENNAN: What does that indicate to you? I mean, Steve Bannon speaks sometimes in hyperbolic terms. Does that indicate to you that there was a level of planning going back that far?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Oh, yes.
I mean, I think, look, if you look at the President's statements even months prior to the election, he started saying: If we lose, it's because it's going to be stolen. -
There was -- I think it was Chris Stirewalt came in on our second hearing and talked about that idea of that -- the red mirage, how, early in the night, it'll look like Republicans are winning, and then, later, it will be the obvious result.
I mean, I think Democrats were ahead in Ohio significantly even at the beginning of the night. Steve Bannon is an agent of chaos. Steve Bannon, in his own words, believes you have to basically burn the system down to rebuild it and fix it. What he's saying right there is very clearly him saying, no matter what, we're declaring victory.
And that is a violation of everything we have to hold dear in the Constitution. Listen, the only thing we need for democracy to survive is the knowledge that you can vote, that that vote counts, and we live with the winner and loser.
If half the country believes that that wasn't accurate, you can't expect democracy to survive.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about what's going on in Georgia.
Your fellow Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is challenging a subpoena by a grand jury there. They want to ask him questions about this call that he placed to the secretary of state there around the election.
Graham said he's done nothing wrong. Is there a reason the January 6 Committee has not spoken to him? Are there questions you have for him?
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Well, look, the question of, is there reasons, well, I mean, first off, we have a lot of information in terms of what happened in Georgia.
That's a piece of our investigation. We have the whole broader thing of what led to January 6, what's been done since. In terms of him, no, I haven't talked -- talked to Lindsey Graham personally. That's his decision with the grand jury and a challenge.
I'm not sure if his issues of speech and debate, which is what he claims the protection are, he was acting in his position as a senator, I'm not sure if that actually would apply to if you're attempting to change an election outcome. I'm not the lawyer. I don't know. But, to me, it seems a little odd that he would try to pull that in front of -- in terms of going in front of a grand jury and saying what you know.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Congressman Kinzinger, thank you for coming in. We'll be watching on Thursday.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: You bet.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And CBS News will cover that hearing at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time Thursday night on our broadcast and streaming networks.
Face the Nation will be back in one minute, so stay with us.
(ANNOUNCEMENTS)
MARGARET BRENNAN: There are now more than 1800 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the United States.
States and cities where infections are spiking are now demanding more vaccines from the Biden administration.
Joining us to discuss this is former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who's also a board member at Pfizer.
Good to have you here.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB (Former FDA Commissioner): Good to see you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Give us a sense of the scale of this, because the CDC numbers are out. They say they're only eight women within that, no children.
You're saying this is a pandemic. That's not a word the administration is using yet. What level of emergency are we at.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Yes, look, and I think they're going to be reluctant to use the word pandemic, because it implies that they've failed to contain this.
And I think, at this point, we've failed to contain this. We're now at the cusp of this becoming an endemic virus, where this now becomes something that's persistent that we need to continue to deal with. I think the window for getting control of this and containing it probably has closed. And, if it hasn't closed, it's certainly starting to close, 11,000 cases across the world right now, 1,800 cases, as you said, in the U.S.
We're probably detecting just a fraction of the actual cases, because we have a very -- we had for a long time a very narrow case definition on who got tested. And, by and large, we're looking in the community of men who have sex with men and at STD clinics.
So we're looking there, we're finding cases there. But it's a fact that there's cases outside that community right now. We're not picking them up because we're not looking there. This has spread more broadly in the community. I wouldn't be surprised there's thousands of cases right now.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It's a little chilling to hear you say containment has failed. I have heard you say that before with COVID.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Well, look, this isn't going to explode like COVID. This is a slower-moving virus, which is why we could have gotten control of this if we had been more aggressive up front.
And we made a lot of the same mistakes that we made with COVID with this, having a very narrow case definition, not having enough testing early enough, not deploying vaccine in an aggressive fashion to ring-vaccinate.
But now this is firmly embedded in the community. And while it's not going to explode, because it's harder for this virus to spread, it's probably going to be persistent. You'll have this as a sort of a fact of life, maybe spreading as a sexually transmitted disease, but also breaking out of those settings.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So the CDC said monkeypox can show up to three weeks post-exposure. What are the basic symptoms? If you have a rash, do you call your dermatologist? Who do you call?
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Well, it's a vesicular rash.
It's associated with fever and achiness. You know, historically, you used to get a disseminated rash. What we're seeing right now is people aren't presenting with a widely diffuse rash, but sometimes just a small number of vesicles. So I think it's being confused with other vesicular rashes, Herpes. Coxsackie can cause a vesicular rash, certainly chicken pox.
Right now, anyone who presents with a vesicular rash that can't be explained by another etiology, so a rash that causes vesicles, should be tested for monkeypox, whether they come from a high-risk community or not. That's the way we're going to snuff this out. We didn't have enough testing to do that. Now CDC has gotten in place more testing. There's probably adequate testing to broaden it to be able to accomplish that.
So we should be doing that physicians should be sending off these tests.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The problem with testing, also, it seems that distribution or access to a vaccine is an issue, the mayor of New York, the governor of New York asking the Biden administration to do more to get them access.
Why is this a problem?
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Well, we didn't have adequate stockpiles of the vaccine, the one vaccine that's approved for monkeypox.
We only had 2,000 doses in the National Strategic Stockpile. It was there as a hedge against smallpox. We took our eye off that ball, so we didn't replenish that supply. They ordered about 300,000 doses that have been delivered; 150,000 have been distributed. Another 130,000 will go out this week. There's going to be...
MARGARET BRENNAN: Some of that overseas.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Some of it -- well, there's 800,000 doses that were overseas that the manufacturer, Bavarian Nordic, had overseas. Those are being brought into the U.S. right now.
FDA has to do what's called lot release. They have to inspect those doses to make sure they were appropriately manufactured. They're doing that inspection at the same time that they're forward-deploying those 800,000 doses. So those are going to cities right now. And, as soon as FDA finishes that, which should be this week, those doses will be turned on. They'll be able to be distributed or be used on patients.
So I think the vaccine situation is going to improve dramatically this week. You're going to see literally hundreds of thousands of doses become available. The White House has intervened to take more control of the response away from CDC. This can't be our response every time...
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: ... that, when CDC drops the ball, the White House and the political leadership need to step in. That's what's happened here. It happened in COVID.
We need to fundamentally reform how we respond to these crises.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You wrote a book on that.
I want to ask you about COVID. The CDC says now about 54 percent of Americans live in an area of high COVID community spread. That's up from 31 percent the prior week. That seems fast-moving. What is different about these variants now?
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Well, look, it's the B.5 variant that's growing. It has the capacity to evade the immunity that we've acquired from vaccination and also from prior infection.
It does seem to be that B.2 infection confers more robust immunity against this B.5 variant. So places that had big outbreaks of B.2, like the Northeast, probably are going to be more protected. There's 100,000, over 100,000 cases on average being reported on a daily basis. We're probably detecting one in 10 infections right now. So it's probably more like a million.
I think most Americans have started to accept this as part of the fabric of daily living. In part, that's based on a wholesale recalibration of risk. In part, it's based on the fact that there's very few people who are immune-naive, so people feel rightly more impervious to a bad outcome.
So we have to recognize that this spread is happening against the backdrop, basically, of normal living.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But the White House is saying, put a mask on if you go into indoor gatherings. The city of Los Angeles says they might institute this at the end of the month.
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Yes, I don't think we're going to see mandates. I don't think that there's a lot of tolerance for mandates, maybe in select cities like Los Angeles.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But is it advisable?
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: I think, if you're going into a congregate setting with a lot of people you don't know, wearing a mask is prudent if you're in a high-prevalence area, especially if you're someone who's at risk.
You know, I still wear a mask in certain settings. I wear it when I go through the airport. If I catch COVID, I want it to be from a family member or a friend, not some stranger I'm sitting next to on a plane. So I try to be prudent when I'm in mixed company.
I think, right now, if you live in a high-prevalence region, it's advisable, especially if you're someone who's vulnerable, if it's easy enough.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And a booster shot. Will we have a rebooted bivalent vaccine in the fall?
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Yes, well, look, there's going to be a vaccine based on B.4 that the manufacturers are developing right now. There is a bivalent vaccine based on B.1 on the shelf right now that we could be deploying. We're not.
That probably would be more protected against this B.4 variant and B.5 variant. We -- they've made a decision so far not to deploy that, but to wait for the B.4 variant vaccine that's going to be available this fall. Right now, if you're above the age of 50 and you haven't had a dose of vaccine this year, you probably should get one.
And the sequencing is good. Get a dose now if you're someone who's at high risk, and you can come back and get one later.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
Dr. Gottlieb, good to have you back in person. Wish you had better news, but it's nice to see you.
(LAUGHTER)
DR. SCOTT GOTTLIEB: Thanks a lot.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We will be back with a lot more Face the Nation, so stay with us.
(ANNOUNCEMENTS)
MARGARET BRENNAN: In Uvalde, Texas, the community awaits the release of an investigation conducted by the Texas House into the police response to the massacre at Robb Elementary School, in which 19 children and two teachers were killed.
More than an hour of video from school security cameras will be shown to families along with that report.
CBS News correspondent Lilia Luciano is waiting for the report in Uvalde -- Lilia.
LILIA LUCIANO: Margaret, for too many parents in this community, it's too late. Answers will not bring their children back.
But they hope this investigation will pave the way for some level of accountability and will prevent at least a delayed response like this one from happening in the future.
One of the big questions we're seeking to answer is, why did officers wait more than 70 minutes to stop the shooter, when the training for every one of the seven agencies represented in those hallways tells them you stop an active shooter immediately?
Why did they wait even as the gunman continued to shoot? They had shields, rifles, breaching tools. And why was the state's governor, Republican Greg Abbott, given incorrect information about the shooting response in the immediate aftermath?
(Begin VT)
QUESTION: How do you feel about that now that you have seen the video?
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT (R-Texas): Well, just as angry, because it's clear that what was shown on the video was the exact opposite of the information that I was given on the day that I went out and explained what happened.
(End VT)
LILIA LUCIANO: The committee interviewed nearly 40 people, at least 20 from law enforcement.
Among the questions that we need answers to is, why did officers think that this was a barricaded subject? Why did they wait, when we know from previous police reports that there were discussions among officers about children being inside the classroom, about possible injured people inside?
And we also know that, early on in the timeline, officers were talking to dispatch. So who was getting the 911 calls from children like Miah Cerrillo, who was calling from inside the room nearly 15 minutes before that door was breached?
This is not the only investigation. There are at least four others, including one by the Texas Rangers and a federal one by the Department of Justice. That so-called critical incident review seeks to inform future policy, training and apply lessons learned for other police agencies across the nation -- Margaret.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Lilia, thank you.
We will be right back.
(ANNOUNCEMENTS)
MARGARET BRENNAN: If you can't watch the full Face the Nation, set your DVR.
We will be right back.
(ANNOUNCEMENTS)
MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to FACE THE NATION.
As President Biden met with middle eastern leaders last week, he was accompanied by Amos Hochstein, the special presidential coordinator for international energy affairs. He's with us now.
Mr. Hochstein, welcome to FACE THE NATION. Good to have you here in person.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN (Presidential Coordinator on Energy Security): It's great to be here in person. Thank you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So you were one of the few U.S. officials in the room when President Biden met with Saudi leaders. Why was this trip worth the political risk? What did you get?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think this was a historic trip. First it started just landing in Saudi Arabia, in Jetta, as the first ever flight from -- for a president to fly from Israel directly to Saudi Arabia, with the backdrop of Saudi Arabia opening the -- announcement that they're opening the skies for the first time for Israeli aircraft, for all aircraft, including flights to and from Israel over its air space.
It comes on the backdrop of a major achievement over the last few months of a cease-fire in Yemen where thousands of people have been killed over the last seven years. This has been the longest cease-fire we've had with a commitment from Saudi Arabia to work to extend the cease-fire even further. Major announcements for food security and achieving contributions from the GCC, from the Gulf countries, on food security.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But none on oil yet?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, we had a -- major announcements on - on cooperation on energy rite large. And if you recall, just before the president announced his trip, just a few days before that, OPEC Plus made a major shift in its policies, recognizing that since Putin started amassing forces, the markets have been affected and that there was a supply/demand issue and announced increases in supply of 50 percent for July and August.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: And I'm -- based on what we heard on the trip, I'm pretty confident that we'll see a few more steps in the coming week.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, OPEC Plus meets August 3rd.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Yes.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Saudi has some, very little, spare capacity. So, are you saying you got a wink and a nod that they're going to pump more?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: I think what we discussed -- first of all, it's not just about Saudi, it's about -- we met with - with the GCC and with Saudi Arabia. There is -- I'm not going to go into how much spare capacity there is in Saudi Arabia and in UAE and Kuwait, et cetera, but there is additional spare capacity, there is room for increased production.
As we've told producers in the United States, we have had conversations over the last several months and weeks with OPEC. And I believe that there is still more room to - to see additional steps in the coming weeks.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Saudi says it's got like a million spare barrel capacity.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Again, it's not just about Saudi. This is OPEC, so there are other countries as well. So what we need is to see a little bit more. But let's - let's look at what has happened since the president announced his trip. Oil prices, at that point, were at about $120. Today oil prices are around $100, $101.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: So that's a $20 decline based on the steps -
MARGARET BRENNAN: Some of that due to economic concerns, though. China looking like it's slowing and concerns here about consumption going down.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: So, there's no doubt, there's never one reason why oil prices go up or why oil goes down. As you know, when oil prices go up, they tend to say there's only one reason, and that's the political leadership.
But, if you think about it this way, over the last few months, the president has supplied the U.S. market with a million barrels a day, which is a historic level.
MARGARET BRENNAN: From the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: From the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. We've never done that before.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that, what, ends in September.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: No, that - that will end towards the end of the year.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Do -- will it end towards the end of the year? Can you afford to stop putting emergency supply on the market?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, look at what has happened. The private sector, as we talk to them in the United States, said they can increase production in the United States by about a million barrels a day, but it's going to take time to invest in it. It will come at the end of the year.
So, we stepped in, the president stepped in and said, I'll fill that gap.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: So, hopefully, my expectation is that the private sector in the U.S. will have those increases coming so we don't need to have the emergency from the U.S. government. In the meantime, we've seen the - the prices -- both the oil price, but also the price at the pump has come down at the fastest rate that we have seen in over a decade. So, from over $5.
And remember this, just a few weeks ago -
MARGARET BRENNAN: IT's still pretty high. $5. Still pretty high. It may have come down from -
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: It's not $5 anymore. It's now $4.55. And I expect it to come down more towards $4. And we already have many gas stations around the country that are below $4. So we're - we're - this is the fastest decline rate that we've seen against a major increase of oil prices during a war in Europe where one of the parties in the war is the third largest producer in the world. So, these are extraordinary circumstances. We've taken very tough measures to address them right away.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Both or the American consumer but really for the global economy too.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we'll watch to see if those gas prices continue to fall.
I want to ask you about what the administration is pushing around the world, which is this concept of putting a cap on the price of Russian oil that is sold so that it's not cutting back on the amount but rather the windfall profits Putin can profit off of it. What's to stop Vladimir Putin from just saying, fine, I'm just going to stop pumping?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think that the way - look, the price cap is --
MARGARET BRENNAN: Doesn't that ruin your plan if he does that?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, first, he could do that tomorrow regardless of what we do on a price cap. You know, Putin has been an unreliable supplier, unfortunately. But I think what we're doing is we're designing the mechanism so that he can still - he still would have revenues. He needs those revenues to - that's the only revenues he really has in his country. There's nothing else in Russia except for oil and gas.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, JP Morgan says he's got enough cash that he's sitting on that he could cut by 5 million barrels in that extreme example that the price of oil would go up to, what, over $300 a barrel, almost $400 a barrel.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, what we want to be able to do is to mitigate where the price of oil on the world market doesn't actually impact Russia at all because we're going to put a price cap so that all they have is to get that price and no more than that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: We believe that that is the way to do it. So if prices go up, he still won't get that price, and we can reduce that prices for -
MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you have buy-ins for that? Why would India or China comply?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, first, at the G-7 a couple of weeks ago, the G-7 endorsed this idea as a good idea. We're now starting to have the conversations with the major consumers. And I would ask the question the other way around, doesn't every buyer try to get a lower price? So, I think every buyer's incentivized to pay less.
And I'll - I'll go a step further. Right now, regardless of what you see as the global oil price, that's not what Putin's getting. So these headlines about Putin getting a - some kind of a math between how much is he stilling times the price of oil in the world, that's not his revenue because he's already agreed to major discounts.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But he's still taking in money and he's still funding this war. So --
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: That's what we're trying to stop.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. But, in the meantime, I want to ask you quickly about the president's climate change efforts. This bill and his proposal is completely stalled right now. The president says he's going to take executive action. What is the plan? What are you going to actually do here in the United States?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think we've tried to get a plan where we can incentive great incentives for U.S. investment -
MARGARET BRENNAN: But you can't block new oil and gas drilling, right? You can't do some of those things because they would counter your efforts.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think what we want to do in this - in this bill that we have proposed, and we are hopeful that - we still hope that that's what Congress does, is to give it the kind of incentive assurance that we can have additional American investment in climate, renewable energy, electric vehicles. Why wouldn't we want to do that? Why would we want to make - to create an environment in which China is ahead of us? The rest of the world is making the investments and we're not. We want to be able to put the kind of incentives that there will be additional investment in the infrastructure for renewable energy, for solar, for wind and for electric vehicles and for our nuclear fleet in this country. That's how we get to climate. We didn't get that today. The president is determined to take some action that he can through executive orders and through other actions.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Like what?
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: We'll see what we can do this week and in the coming weeks. But, again, I think that the responsibility here is to be able to invest into our future. Whether we like it or not, the -- those -- some don't like it. This is the future of energy markets in the United States and around the world. We've got to decide, do we want the U.S. to lead or do we want the Chinese to lead this.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. You've got to convince Senator Joe Manchin.
We'll be talking about that ahead in this segment.
Thank you very much for coming in.
We'll be right back.
AMOS HOCHSTEIN: It's a pleasure.

MARGARET BRENNAN: For a broader look at some of the economic headwinds we are facing as a country, we're joined now by Jason Furman. He was the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under the Obama administration, and is now a professor at Harvard. He joins us from Boston this morning.
Good morning to you.
Inflation is running extremely high, as you know. Up 9.1 percent over the past 12 months. Shelter, food, gas, all the things the Fed can't really control, they're hurting people.
Are we at the peak yet?
JASON FURMAN (Former Chairman, White House Council of Economic Advisers): You know, Margaret, I don't know. Oil prices have been coming down. Gasoline prices have been coming down. So that headline number, that's the one that Americans really feel could be coming down.
What was worrisome in this last report is even if you strip out all the volatile things, the underlying floor was actually strengthening. We might see the 12 month numbers rising in the months to come.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Ouch.
You know, looking at forward planning, Bank of America is now predicting a mild recession in the second half of the year. JP Morgan says the risk of recession is uncomfortably high. But Citigroup's CEO said she sees nothing in the data now to indicate that we're on the cusp of recession.
So, this - this is the big money bet. What's your bet? Where are we on the possibility of recession?
JASON FURMAN: Look, I'm not that much more worried than I am normally, but I don't have any confidence in that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What does that mean?
JASON FURMAN: In part because the economic signals are really unclear. In the first half of the year, it looks like GDP fell, but jobs grew quite a lot. You have business leaders saying they're worried we're going to go into a recession, but they're still hiring people. If they're bankers, they're still making loans to people.
You have consumers saying they're really negative about the economy but they're still spending money. It's hard to square a lot of these contradictory signals right now.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. But you're saying it is quite possible, it's just not clear.
JASON FURMAN: Oh, it's certainly possible. But I - you know, and it's certainly more likely than it normally is. The risks are much greater than they normally are. But the idea that a recession is a foregone conclusion, or even over 50 percent chance, I don't see that, but I'm looking through a cloudy rear-view mirror trying to guess what's going to happen ahead of us.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. Fair.
I want to ask you about something you've been - you've been tweeting quite a lot about, and that is the fiscal side of the spending plan here. There have been these weeks of talks -- we just discussed it -- over the president's proposals on climate spending, a number of other things, and it collapsed, these negotiations, in recent days.
You've been tweeting in favor of the Democrat's bill, which apparently would expand an income tax on individuals making over $400,000. Why do you think it's advisable to raise taxes in a period of inflation like that? People like Senator Manchin say we shouldn't be due to inflation.
JASON FURMAN: Yes. So, Margaret, Senator Manchin is absolutely right to be more worried about inflation after the Friday report. That means we're going to need to do more. The Fed's probably going to telegraph larger rate increases in the future. It also means Congress should be trying to do their part in helping out. If they can cut the deficit, including raising taxes on high income households, that would, you know, reduce a bit of spending in the economy. It would cool the economy down a little bit and actually take some pressure off the Fed. The Fed would not need to raise rates by quite as much if Congress did their job.
So, clearly, this is a time where everyone should be helping out and bringing inflation down.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, what's interesting is that, when you were on this program back in May, you said one of the reasons the U.S. has incredibly high inflation was the emergency spending that President Biden signed into effect back in March of 2021. And it was spending like that, that Senator Manchin points to and says, see, this is why we need to wait.
So, why was he right in the past and he's wrong now to be concerned about spending?
JASON FURMAN: Yes. The difference is that we're talking about something exceedingly different then -- now than then. That was $1.9 trillion of new spending. Now on the table was something like $500 billion of deficit reduction. It was a net reduction in the deficit.
I think almost anyone, regardless of where they were on the political spectrum that was an expert on this topic, would agree that would lower inflation. There's Republican friends of mine that would say, oh, I don't like lowering inflation by raising taxes on high-income households. They might have some other way they'd rather lower inflation. But, unambiguously, this is going to bring inflation down. And from my values and perspectives, it would bring it down in a fair way. Certainly much more fair than the tiny reduction in inflation we'll get if 12 million people get cut off their health subsidies and see their premiums go up at the end of the year.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, President Biden issued a statement saying he would endorse this slipped down version of the bill that would -- that Senator Manchin is endorsing that would lower health care premiums and prescription drug costs. Are you saying that slimmed down version is just not meaningful?
JASON FURMAN: Well, look, I think that slipped down version helps. It would lower inflation both because of the overall deficit reduction and then very directly by slowing the growth o prescription drugs cost. That would be in both likely the private sector and the public sector that you would see that slowdown. So if that bill is the best you can get, and I certainly don't know enough about tactics in Washington to judge, that bill would be - would be a very good thing to do.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
JASON FURMAN: You know, even within that bill, by the way, there are some open questions, at least in my mind. If you're not going to raise taxes, how about enforcing the tax code we already have? $600 million goes uncollected every year. Audits of millionaires are down 70 percent. If you fund the IRS, you can collect a lot more taxes without raising tax rates on anyone.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Very quickly, will it add for inflation if all these states, Massachusetts, California, Indiana, Delaware, hand out checks to offset inflation?
JASON FURMAN: Absolutely. Every one of those states is raising inflation nationwide to benefit the citizens in their own states. Collectively we'll be worse off because of it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Jason Furman, thank you for your analysis and for joining us today.
We'll be back in a moment.
(ANNOUNCEMENTS)
MARGARET BRENNAN: One of the more startling numbers from last week's Consumer Price Index was the cost of rent, which is soaring at the fastest pace in 36 years. Here in the nation's capital, average home rental costs have jumped more than 11 percent in just the past year. The national rate is nearly 6 percent.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has made the push for affordable housing a part of her agenda. And she joins us.
Good morning, Mayor.
MURIEL BOWSER (D-Washington D.C. Mayor): Good morning. Thanks for having me.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, I want to ask you, "The New York Times" had this piece on the housing crisis and homelessness in America and it highlighted D.C. as just one of those cities that has just persistently not had enough housing to meet demand.
You've been working on reducing homelessness. Is the prime issue supply?
MURIEL BOWSER: Well, we've been working on creating affordable housing and producing more and preserving more. And we are among the jurisdictions, I would say, that lead the nation in being a local partner in production. So, just in the last seven years we've invested more than $1.4 billion in doing exactly that.
We're equally invested in making homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring in our city. And we have a plan to get there. We've seen our rates of family homelessness, for example, decrease by 78 percent. Chronic homelessness also. We're attacking and driving those numbers down for most categories.
So, what we see is, in a city like ours, where people want to live and want to work, that we always have to be producing more housing.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, I'm wondering then, in an environment where we are now where interest rates are going up, is that discouraging builders from producing what you need? Do you need the federal government to step in and provide some sort of support?
MURIEL BOWSER: Well, we certainly are going to be able to do less with the very historic investments that we've made. So, we're concerned about that. But what I know, that we're doing everything locally that we can. We have a tool called the Housing Production Trust Fund. This year alone we'll invest $450 million in new units. We've set a goal of building 36,000 new units.
So, we're always looking for the federal government to be a partner. And I have to say that in coming out of this pandemic and everything that the federal government was able to do to help cities like ours keep people housed with the American Rescue Plan dollars, with making sure that we're preventing evictions and keep people from getting evicted has been very helpful.
MARGARET BRENNAN: "The Washington Post" reported last week that homeless shelters in D.C. were filling up and groups are getting overwhelmed by these buses that the governors of Texas and Arizona are sending here full of migrants.
How significant is this influx? How many people?
MURIEL BOWSER: Well, this is a very significant issue. We have, for sure, called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they're largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.
I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. But I fear that they're being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So it's not just local taxpayers picking up the tab. You're saying federal government is helping?
MURIEL BOWSER: Well, local taxpayers are not picking up the tab and should not pick up the tab. And we really need a coordinated federal response. We know that it's done for refugees who - who come to - to the states from all points of the world and the same has to be done in this situation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I also want to ask you about monkeypox, 108 million infections here in the district according to the CDC numbers. Is the outbreak more significant than that? And are you prepared for the spike when it comes to available vaccine? Your Democratic colleague in New York City says he needs more vaccine.
MURIEL BOWSER: We need more vaccine. We've gotten just over 8,000 doses. We estimate that we need about 100,000 doses to address the current target population.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Wow.
MURIEL BOWSER: So, we need more doses for sure and we know that that work is being done. We already have a very robust testing regime and we've mottled it on what we were able to do with Covid. And we're going to continue to test. And I think because of that robust testing, we're going to see more cases. But we want people to pay attention to ways to - of protecting themselves, especially by getting vaccinated when the vaccine is available.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Has the federal government promised you those doses?
MURIEL BOWSER: We -- no. Our health department works with the CDC and others.
MARGARET BRENNAN: OK.
MURIEL BOWSER: And so as the - as the vaccine is available, we're going to be ready to distribute it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I also want - you have a big portfolio here in the nation's capital.
MURIEL BOWSER: Indeed.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about the risk of political violence. Homeland Security has warned the entire country should essentially be prepared for more political violence. How are you planning for it here in D.C.?
MURIEL BOWSER: Well, we, as the nation's capital, we're kind of always on high alert as a target of all manner of political violence. And, unfortunately, we've seen that of a domestic nature in the last several years. So our --
MARGARET BRENNAN: Particularly Supreme court justices, January 6th.
MURIEL BOWSER: January 6th. The events of -- surrounding the murder of George Floyd. All. But we also see -- we see demonstrations of First Amendment protests throughout the year. Some you don't hear about, but our police are out there working every day to make sure people can peacefully protest, but also keep our cities safe. So, it is a ongoing, high-level interaction with our federal partners, including federal homeland security, all the federal agencies that are in D.C. But our metropolitan police department is there to support them in many cases and lead in others.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Mayor Bowser, thank you for your time and for coming in today.
MURIEL BOWSER: Thank you. Thank you. My pleasure.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And we will be right back with more FACE THE NATION.

Not many financial services firms are expanding within the same building these days. But fintech firm iCapital has added two full floors totaling 59,228 square feet at Empire State Realty Trust’s One Grand Central Place, a 1930-vintage, 1.245-million-square-foot tower at 60 E. 42nd St.
The deal, iCapital’s fourth expansion in the renovated and modernized building since 2017, brings its stake there to 141,224 square feet. The company promotes access and efficiency in alternative investing for the asset and wealth-management industries.
iCapital CEO/chairman Lawrence Calcano said the “ongoing expansion has allowed us to drive innovation in a contemporary workspace and operate in an environment that invites collaboration.”
The tenant was repped by CBRE’s Lauren Crowley Corrinet, Al Golod and Christopher Hogan. The landlord was repped by the Trust’s Jordan Berger and by Newmark’s Erik Harris, Neil Rubin, Scott Klau and William Cohen.
Asking rents at One Grand Central Place are $80 psf. The tower is 91.3% leased.
Meanwhile, change is in the air at ESRT’s most famous property, which of course is the Empire State Building. On the fun front, the landmark skyscraper was recently named the No. 1 tourist attraction in the US by TripAdvisor.
The 2.7-million-square-foot office tower, which already boasts numerous improvements both for tenants and visitors thanks to a half-billion-dollar capital upgrade, is adding a tenants’-only amenity space in the concourse that will include a “town hall” meeting space for 300, a basketball court, lounge, food and bar service and a golf simulator lounge.
It will be in addition to a fitness center, restaurants and a massive, 23,000 square-foot Starbucks Reserve to open this year.
There’s a new leasing team, too, to be led by Newmark’s Scott Klau, which has a strong track record at ESRT’s One Grand Central Place, 1400 Broadway and 111 W. 33rd St. | https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/fintech-firm-icapital-expands-footprint-at-one-grand-central/ | 2022-07-17T18:32:11Z | https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/fintech-firm-icapital-expands-footprint-at-one-grand-central/ | true | 2 |

A ruckus was created in Ujjain on Sunday after Bharatiya Janata Party mayoral candidate Mukesh Tatwal was declared victorious against Congress' Mahesh Parmar. According to Congress, the BJP manipulated the vote counting process.
The Congress workers started creating ruckus after the result was declared. They also sought a recount. The BJP has won 37 wards while the Congress could only win 17 wards.
BJP's Tatwal secured 1,34,094 votes while the Congress party's Parmar garnered 1,33,358 votes. Mukesh Tatwal won over his rival by 736 votes out of 54 wards. Mukesh Tatwal said, "It's the party cadres' hard work that we won the election. All the party workers are happy with the result."
Following, the election result declaration, the Congress workers surrounded collector Ashish Singh, forcing the administration to deploy a heavy police force. Congress' Mahesh Parmar said, "We have won the election by a margin of 455 votes. Now they are saying that we have got fewer votes. We will protest and go to court against this manipulation."
In Madhya Pradesh Municipal Corporation election, BJP wins five seats (Burhanpur, Khandwa, Satna, Sagar, Ujjain) and is leading on two more (Bhopal and Indore), while Congress has won 2 seats (Jabalpur, Chhindwara) and is leading on one (Gwalior). AAP won 1 seat (Singrauli). With the victory of its mayoral candidate Rani Agrawal in the Singrauli Municipal Corporation elections, the Aam Aadmi Party set its feet in the political landscape of Madhya Pradesh on Sunday.
Agrawal defeated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Chandra Pratap Vishwakarma by over 9,000 votes. Vishwakarma was the chairman of the outgoing Singrauli Municipal Corporation. "Our Mayoral Candidate Rani Agrawal wins Singrauli. Congratulations to our winning councillors as well. Madhya Pradesh welcomes Arvind Kejriwal's model of governance with open arms," said AAP. (ANI)

To be sure, there’s ample uncertainty about how high the Fed’s policy rate will need to rise in order to restore price stability in the economy, and how it will get there. Just this week, a skirmish broke out over whether the July meeting will deliver another three-quarter-point increase or the first full-point one since the 1980s, after June inflation increased more than expected.
However the main battleground has shifted to how long the overnight benchmark might remain at its peak level and how much, if at all, it will decline next year -- questions that depend on how the economy copes with a policy rate that’s expected to reach 3.5%, from its current range of 1.50%-1.75%. This week’s decline in 10-year yields to levels more than 20 basis points lower than two-year yields signal pessimism on that front.
“Sure, we can reach a recession, but as investors, we have to think about what it would look like and what’s on the other side of it,” said Anthony Crescenzi, a portfolio manager at Pacific Investment Management Co.. His outlook is for a mild recession in which the Fed keeps the policy rate steady at its peak level rather than bringing it quickly back down, and that investors will be hesitant to pile back into bonds after this year’s steep losses.
“The memory of what happened in the bond market this year will last for a generation,” Crescenzi said on Bloomberg Television. Barring a much deeper economic recession than most people foresee, “investors won’t be so quick to drive yields down that fast,” he said.
The view that the policy rate will peak around the end of this year or early next year is apparent in swap contracts tied to Fed meeting dates. The December 2022 and February 2023 contracts carry the highest rates, just above 3.5%. Late 2023 rates are around 3%, reflecting the consensus view that rate cuts will follow the hikes, which began in March this year as the main US inflation rate approached 8%.
While the June rate for the consumer price index reported this week was 9.1% -- a new generational high -- there are indications that tighter policy is beginning to bite. Led by oil, a broad index of commodity prices returned to levels that prevailed before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February led to steep gains.
The US national average price of gasoline has declined every day since mid-June and is down 8.8% over the period. With that, the real yield on inflation-protected Treasuries maturing in two years rose back above 0% for the first time since May 2020. Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the news conference after the June meeting said that positive short-term real yields were an indicator of a near-neutral policy rate, neither stimulative nor restrictive.
Related story: Real Rates That Powell Watches Are Still Far From Shouting Stop
Additional Fed rate increases are likely to further close the gap between two-year real rates still under 0.2% and 10-year real rates around 0.6%.
“A positive real two-year yield is moving in the right direction,” said Steven Blitz, chief US economist at TS Lombard. But he says it needs to exceed the 10-year real yield in order to tighten financial conditions enough to throttle inflation, and that the funds rate will need to reach at least 4% to make that happen.
Ten-year real yields have declined by about 30 basis points from their mid-June peak of 0.88%. An auction on July 20 of new 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities will provide information about the extent to which demand has been dented by cooling commodity prices.
Next week’s other significant auction, a 20-year bond reopening on July 19, is a potential stumbling block for the broader market. Reintroduced in 2020, the tenor is still struggling to gain acceptance, evidenced by its yield that’s been higher than the 30-year bond’s since October.

Making his first start at Yankee Stadium in nearly three years, Red Sox’s pitcher Chris Sale had to leave in the first inning with a gnarly finger injury.
Facing Yankee left fielder Aaron Hicks, with his team already down 2-0, Sale took a line drive off his bare hand that badly mangled his left pinky finger.
As the ball scooted all the way into the outfield, allowing another run to score, Sale immediately gestured to his dugout that something was wrong. Making the throat slash gesture, a universal sign for “I’m done,” Sale trudged into the Red Sox’s clubhouse for more examination. He was helped off the field by a member of the Red Sox medical staff and manager Alex Cora.
As of now, there is no official diagnosis on Sale’s hand or finger. While an injury to the pitching hand is never what a pitcher wants, Sale’s instinctual reaction may have prevented him from getting hit in the face or head. The ball came off Hicks’ bat at 106.7 miles per hour.
Sale, a 12-year MLB veteran, seven-time All-Star, and 2018 World Series champion with Boston, was making just his second start of the year after a rib injury held him out for the season’s first three months. | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-chris-sale-exits-finger-injury-20220717-dg7g3k4jubhufbmxyn24snd2o4-story.html | 2022-07-17T18:43:32Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-chris-sale-exits-finger-injury-20220717-dg7g3k4jubhufbmxyn24snd2o4-story.html | true | 5 |

Xiaomi mobiles dominate the electronics batches, which feature more than one product each. An example is lots 44 and 59, which have three units of the Xiaomi Redmi 7A, with an initial bid of R$300. A much lower price than the retail price charged for these models. Lot 36 has a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and two Motorola Moto C for R$ 600.
Lot number 1 can be purchased by individuals and indicates the presence of two Apple iPhone 7s, two glass films and a protective case, at a cost of R$ 2,500.
There are a greater number of options for companies, but the starting bids are also higher. Lot 204 is among the most attractive because it includes two iPads (whose models were not specified) and a 256 GB MacBook Air. This entire set is available for a starting bid of BRL 3,000.
There are even lots with smart watches. Lot 58, listed for BRL 2,800, includes three iPhone 6S units and three Apple Watch 3 units. For the initial bid of BRL 1,600, it is possible to take home lot 137, which comes with two Xiaomi Mi Band 4, an unspecified smartwatch and three Xiaomi Mi A3 smartphones.
The products are the result of seizure coordinated by the Federal Revenue and the prices listed by the TechTudo should be observed only as a reference, as they can go up according to the public’s interest.

Washington [US], July 17 (ANI): When we learn a skill, like riding a bike or looking both ways before crossing the street, we rarely need to learn it again. The majority of research on learning and long-term memory in wild animals focuses on a handful number of species.
The findings of the study were published in the Current Biology, and researchers working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shared the first report of long-term memory in frog-eating bats (Trachops cirrhosus).
"Frog-eating bats are an excellent emerging model organism for studying cognitive and sensory ecology," explains biologist M. May Dixon, lead author of the paper, who just finished her doctoral degree at the University of Texas at Austin, "learning plays a big part in their lives."
The bats' ability to learn and retain information means that when they are hunting frogs, their main prey, they don't have to continuously relearn which frog calls indicate that a frog is good to eat, poisonous, or too big to carry.
Dixon and colleagues trained 49 wild bats to respond to cellphone ringtones played through speakers. Bats responding to two of the tones found a bait fish reward on the speaker every time, but when they responded to three other tones, they were never rewarded. They quickly learned to fly to the speaker when ringtones indicated a snack, and not to respond to the other tones. The bats were then microchipped and released back into Panama's Soberania National Park.
Researchers recaptured eight trained bats between one to four years later, and when they played the experimental sounds again, the bats recognized and responded to the two rewarded ringtones even four years later. For comparison, the experiment included 17 untrained frog-eating bats that usually twitched their ears attentively but did not fly to the sounds.
When Dixon was working as a STRI intern with PhD student and co-author Patricia Jones to find out if the bats could learn which novel tones meant a reward by watching the responses of other bats, she realized that she could also find out if the bats could remember the tones.
The ringtones they chose for the experiments, the ping of an incoming text message alert, and the beep of a car being unlocked, sounded clearly human-generated, so that the bats wouldn't casually hear them in nature, but frog-like enough that the bats were interested.
As for the extinguished tones, the unrewarded ones that the bats learned to disregard, researchers played one of them to the recaptured bats, and six of the eight trained bats approached it.
"It's possible that they remember the extinguished sound, but enough time had gone by that they thought to check it out once more," said Dixon. "Or it's possible that they couldn't remember the exact difference between the ringtones, and that extinguished sound was close enough to the rewarded one that they decided to check that out too. Sort of like a generalization of memory."
To make sure that the bats were not responding to every sound they heard, she played a pure tone, and most of the bats did not fly to it, only twitched their ears.
This experiment raises more questions regarding how memory works in these bats and other animals, including the metabolic cost of remembering.
"I'm interested in memory capacity in animals and what causes long-term or short-term memories, what ecological conditions select for different memory lengths, what is important to remember and to forget," she explains. "But studying long-term memory is very difficult, because it takes a long time by definition. And testing memory in captive animals, even if it's more convenient, isn't necessarily representative of what animals can remember in the wild." She wants to go back to the BatLab, directed by STRI staff scientist and co-author Rachel Page, to learn more.
"STRI has been the basis for so much research done with bats. They have gathered a large database on frog-eating bats, on experiments done with bats, what stimulus have been used, so if you capture a bat that has been caught before, you already have its whole history. There are few places in the world where you can have that amount of detail," she says. "I went from liking bats but not thinking they were very interesting, to realizing they are very complex little creatures, with deep personalities and very engaging ways of interacting with the world."

Panel: Hearing to show Trump ‘dereliction of duty’ on Jan 6
WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee’s prime-time hearing Thursday will offer the most compelling evidence yet of then-President Donald Trump’s “dereliction of duty” on the day of the Jan. 6 insurrection, with new witnesses detailing his failure to stem an angry mob storming the Capitol, committee members said Sunday.
“This is going to open people’s eyes in a big way,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a member of the House committee investigating the riot who will help lead Thursday’s session with Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va. ”The president didn’t do anything.”
After a year-long investigation, the House Jan. 6 panel is seeking to wrap up what may be its last hearing, even as its probe continues to heat up.
The committee says it continues to receive fresh evidence each day and isn’t ruling out additional hearings or interviews with a bevy of additional people close to the president. One such figure is Steve Bannon, whose trial begins this week on criminal contempt of Congress charges for refusing to comply with the House committee’s subpoena.
The committee also issued an extraordinary subpoena last week to the Secret Service to produce texts by Tuesday from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021, following conflicting reports about whether they were deleted.
But panel members say Thursday’s hearing will be the most specific to date in laying out and weaving together previously known details on how Trump’s actions were at odds with his constitutional legal duty to stop the Jan. 6 riot. Unlike members of the public who generally have no duty to take action to prevent a crime, the Constitution requires a president to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
“The commander in chief is the only person in the Constitution whose duty is explicitly laid out to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed,” Luria said. “I look at it as a dereliction of duty. (Trump) didn’t act. He had a duty to act.”
Thursday’s hearing will be the first in the prime-time slot since the June 9 debut that was viewed by an estimated 20 million people.
Luria said the hearing will highlight additional testimony from White House counsel Pat Cipollone and other witnesses, not yet seen before, “who will add a lot of value and information to the events of that critical time on January 6.” She cited Trump’s inaction that day for more than three hours, along with a tweet that afternoon criticizing Vice President Mike Pence for lacking courage to contest Democrat Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election that may have served to egg on the mob.
“We will go through pretty much minute by minute during that time frame, from the time he left the stage at the Ellipse, came back to the White House, and really sat in the White House, in the dining room, with his advisers urging him continuously to take action, to take more action,” Luria said.
The hearing comes at a critical juncture point for the panel, which is racing to wrap up findings for a final report this fall. The committee had originally expected at this point to be concluding much of its investigation with a final hearing but is now considering possible options for additional interviews and hearings, panel members said.
“This investigation is very much ongoing,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. “The fact that a series of hearings is going to be concluded this Thursday doesn’t mean that our investigation is over. It’s very active, new witnesses are coming forward, additional information is coming forward.”
For instance, the committee took a rare step last week in issuing a subpoena to the Secret Service, an executive branch department. That came after it received a closed briefing from the Homeland Security Department watchdog that the Secret Service had deleted texts from around Jan. 6, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The finding raised the startling prospect of lost evidence that could shed further light on Trump’s actions during the insurrection, particularly after earlier testimony about his confrontation with security as he tried to join supporters at the Capitol.
“That’s what we have to get to the bottom of,” said Luria, regarding possibly missing texts. “Where are these text messages? Can they be recovered? And we have subpoenaed them because they’re legal records that we need to see for the committee.”
Luria spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Lofgren was on ABC’s “This Week,” and Kinzinger appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Tugendhat humiliated as Badenoch lets rip at 'inexperienced' MP
Kemi Badenoch rebuked Tom Tugendhat's criticism of Boris Johnson's Government, saying that "talking is easy".

She hit out at her rival candidate's criticism, saying: "We have a lot to be proud of.
"We got Brexit done, and what the Prime Minister did on Ukraine and on vaccines was fantastic.
“Serving in Government is not easy. It requires taking difficult decisions.
"Tom has never done that. It’s very easy for him to criticise what we’ve been doing when he has not been in Government."

She added: "But we have been out there on the frontline making the case."
Mr Tugendhat is the only candidate in the ongoing Conservative Party leadership race who has not held a leadership role in Government.
He hit back by pointing to his military record on the frontline, including his service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The MP also claimed he has been at the forefront of policy debates “in the argument against Putin and China.
Kemi Badenoch reacts to Braverman supporting Truss
She bluntly responded: "You haven’t taken any decisions. Talking is easy."
In her closing statement, Ms Badenoch said she's standing to become PM to create a "strong UK that's confident in itself" for her three children.
The former minister says she wants to build a future that's "confident, bright, strong, secure, with a wealthy economy".

I was hoping for Ramona but I got Margaret from Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume.
I secretly read this book, after my mother decided that it was too old for me. It was the last book she tried to keep me from reading.
I don’t remember much about this book – I was more of a Beverly Cleary reader than Judy Blume – but the description is pretty spot on.
“You are earnest, inquisitive, and spiritual. You’ve learned the hard way the importance of thinking for yourself, as you used to try too hard to fit in with the cool kids who didn’t appreciate you for who you are. You’re also keenly aware that it’s important to accept uncertainty as part of life. You can’t stand either/or thinking and prefer to accept that reality is more complicated than that.”
That’s exactly what I would’ve said for you! I came into this quiz determined that Meg from A Wrinkle In Time was the only correct answer, and indeed: Meg Murray is my result!!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for a Texas man who was convicted of storming the U.S. Capitol with a holstered handgun, calling him a militia group member who took a central role in the pro-Trump mob's attack, according to a court filing Friday.
If a judge accepts the Justice Department's recommendation, Guy Wesley Reffitt's prison sentence would be nearly three times the length of the longest sentence among more than 200 defendants who have been sentenced for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in the nation's capital.
The longest sentence so far is five years and three months for Robert Palmer, a Florida man who pleaded guilty to attacking police officers at the Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich is scheduled to sentence Reffitt on Aug. 1. The judge isn't bound by any of the recommendations or the sentencing guidelines calculated by the court's probation department, which call for a sentence ranging from nine years to 11 years and three months,
Defense attorney Clinton Broden, who is asking for Reffitt to be sentenced to no more than two years in prison, said he was shocked by prosecutors' recommendation. He noted that Reffitt wasn't accused of entering the Capitol or assaulting any police officers that day.
"It's absolutely absurd," he said during a telephone interview Friday. "I certainly don't condone what Mr. Reffitt did. And I think everybody realizes the seriousness of the offenses. But at the same point, there has to be some proportionality here."
Prosecutors argue that an "upward departure for terrorism" is warranted in Reffitt's case, which would lead to significantly longer sentence if the judge agrees to apply it. They say the trial evidence showed that Reffitt planned for weeks ahead of January to travel to Washington, D.C., "with the specific intent of attacking the Capitol and taking over Congress."
"Reffitt did not intend to simply obstruct Congress's certification of the Electoral College vote. Rather, Reffitt intended to physically remove the legislators from the building (using his firearm and flexicuffs, and the power of the crowd) and actually 'take over' Congress," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Nestler wrote.
Reffitt, the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried, was convicted by a jury in March of all five counts in his indictment. Jurors found him guilty of obstructing Congress' joint session to certify the Electoral College vote, of interfering with police officers who were guarding the Capitol and of threatening his two teenage children if they reported him to law enforcement.
Prosecutors say Reffitt was a leader of a Texas militia group. He told other militia group members that he planned to drag House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of the Capitol building by her ankles, "with her head hitting every step on the way down," Nestler wrote.
Reffitt, a resident of Wylie, Texas, didn't testify at his trial.
During the trial's closing arguments, U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower told jurors that Reffitt proudly "lit the fire" that allowed others in a mob to overwhelm Capitol police officers near the Senate doors.
Jurors saw videos that captured the confrontation between a few Capitol police officers and a mob of people, including Reffitt, who approached them on the west side of the Capitol.
Reffitt was armed with a Smith & Wesson pistol in a holster on his waist, carrying zip-tie handcuffs and wearing body armor and a helmet equipped with a video camera when he advanced on police, according to prosecutors. He retreated after an officer pepper sprayed him in the face, but he waved on other rioters who ultimately breached the building, prosecutors said.
Reffitt drove to Washington, D.C., with Rocky Hardie, who said he and Reffitt were members of the Texas Three Percenters militia group. The Three Percenters militia movement refers to the myth that only 3% of Americans fought in the Revolutionary War against the British.
Hardie testified that both of them were armed with holstered handguns when they attended then-President Donald Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally before the riot. Hardie said Reffitt talked about dragging lawmakers out of the Capitol and replacing them with people who would "follow the Constitution." Hardie also said Reffitt gave him two pairs of zip-tie cuffs in case they needed to detain anybody.
Reffitt's 19-year-old son, Jackson, testified that his father threatened him and his sister, then 16, after he drove home from Washington. Reffitt told his children they would be traitors if they reported him to authorities and said "traitors get shot," Jackson Reffitt recalled.
Reffitt is "done with politics," his lawyer said in a court filing Friday.
"His only goal now is to put his family back together while recognizing that as much as he spent the past two decades providing for them, he is the one who has driven them apart," Broden wrote.
More than 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot. Over 330 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 200 of them have been sentenced. More than 100 others have trial dates.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to mass shooting that left 21 people dead at a Uvalde elementary school but "systemic failures" created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to a report from investigators released Sunday.
The nearly 80-page report, obtained by multiple media outlets, was the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the Texas town for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside a fourth-grade classroom.
The report — the most complete account yet of the hesitant and haphazard response to the May 24 massacre at at Robb Elementary School — was written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives and released to family members Sunday.
According to the Texas Tribune, which reviewed the report ahead of its scheduled release to the public later in the day, 376 law enforcement officers massed at the school. The overwhelming majority of those who responded were federal and state law enforcement. That included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials, according to the Tribune.
"It's a joke. They're a joke. They've got no business wearing a badge. None of them do," Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazer, said Sunday.
The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.
Flowers that had been piled high in the city's central square had been removed as of Sunday, leaving a few stuffed animal maps scattered around the fountains alongside photos of some of the children who were killed.
A nearly 80-minute hallway surveillance video published by the Austin American-Statesman this week publicly showed for the first time a hesitant and haphazard tactical response, which the head of Texas' state police has condemned as a failure and some Uvalde residents have blasted as cowardly.
Calls for police accountability have grown in Uvalde since the shooting. So far, only one officer from the scene of the deadliest school shooting in Texas history is known to be on leave.
The report is the result of one of several investigations into the shooting, including another led by the Justice Department. A report earlier this month by tactical experts at Texas State University alleged that a Uvalde police officer had a chance to stop the gunman before he went inside the school armed with an AR-15.
But in an example of the conflicting statements and disputed accounts since the shooting, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin has said that never happened. That report had been done at the request of the Texas Department of Public Safety, which McLaughlin has increasingly criticized and accused of trying to minimize the role of its troopers during the massacre.
Steve McCraw, the head of Texas DPS, has called the police response an abject failure.

Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale was hit on his throwing hand by a line drive in the first inning and exited Sunday’s start against the host New York Yankees.
With two outs, Aaron Hicks hit a line drive off Sale’s hand. The ball caromed into center field, allowing Gleyber Torres to score and give New York a 3-0 lead.
Sale immediately walked off the field and was replaced by Hirokazu Sawamura.
Sale was making his second start since returning from a fractured rib Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. He threw 78 pitches in five scoreless innings versus the Rays and threw 24 pitches before exiting on Sunday.
During the major league lockout Sale broke a rib while working out on his own.
Sale, who is signed through 2024 on a five-year, $145 million contract, has thrown just 48 1/3 innings for the Red Sox since the end of the 2019 season.
Last season, he went 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts in his return from Tommy John surgery.

Dance Deewane Juniors Grand Finale Review: Aamir Khan's dance, Karan-Tejasswi's romance make it a hit
Eight-year-old contestant Aditya Patil has been announced as the winner of Dance Deewane Juniors Season 1.
After three months of rigorous hard work and churning out the best from the 15 contestants, Dance Deewane Juniors held its grand finale on Sunday, July 17. The climax episode was attended by the maverick actor-producer Aamir Khan. He graced the show to promote his upcoming film, Laal Singh Chaddha - the Hollywood remake of Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. The superstar is known for not going on an overdrive when it comes to promoting his films. However, Aamir made an exception and confessed, "The kids have worked really hard, and to reward and appreciate their dedication, I have come here."
To make the one-hour-long episode a total entertainer, Dance Deewane Juniors' finale episode also saw the channel's lead pairs of the ongoing daily soaps. They added the perfect ingredients to make the episode a spicy one. Simba Nagpal surprised the audience by co-hosting with Karan Kundrra. What came as another surprise was Tejasswi Prakash's sizzling dance performance. Aamir Khan couldn't stop himself from praising her skills. The Bollywood superstar, who has acted in numerous films, shared that he can't dance and therefore he loves to watch those who dance exceptionally well.
Dance tribute to Aamir Khan by Dance Deewane Juniors' finalists
The four finalists - Aditya Patil, All Stars, Pratik Naik, and Geeta Bagga gave a dance tribute to Aamir Khan, which made him emotional. The 57-year-old danced his heart out on the show and was in the best of his moods. For its first, Aamir Khan was seen relishing the delicious gol-gappas on stage and also fed them to the kids. At Marzi Pestonji's request, a special task was done where Tejasswi Prakash's reel and real boyfriend had to prove who knows her better. This segment is a treat for the Tejran fans.
Special moments from Dance Deewane Juniors
However, a major highlight of the show was Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash's romantic dance on 'Main ki Karaan' from Laal Singh Chaddha. The mesmerising act left everyone in awe of their chemistry and Aamir said, "I'm a supporter of true love." Another moment that has etched in our hearts is Aamir Khan and Neetu Kapoor's dance on 'Ae Kya Bolti Tu' on Dance Deewane Juniors' stage.
During the opening of the show, Karan teased Aamir by saying that this is probably his first "award" show where he will be felicitating someone with the winner's trophy. This left the Bollywood star laughing out loud. There was a perfect blend of comedy, emotion, and dance - a total masala potboiler. Well, that's not all, Aamir Khan's "freestyle" dance on Salman Khan's song 'Dhinka Chika' song is the sweetest takeaway from the grand finale of Dance Deewane Juniors episode. | https://www.pinkvilla.com/tv/news-gossip/dance-deewane-juniors-grand-finale-review-aamir-khans-dance-karan-tejasswis-romance-make-it-hit-1163291 | 2022-07-17T19:47:48Z | https://www.pinkvilla.com/tv/news-gossip/dance-deewane-juniors-grand-finale-review-aamir-khans-dance-karan-tejasswis-romance-make-it-hit-1163291 | false | 1 |
Texans slow to vaccinate youngest against COVID-19, but slightly ahead of national average
Caitlin Chmiel was furious and worried when her 2-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 the week the federal government approved vaccines for the nation’s youngest kids in mid-June — when quicker action meant her daughter might have been vaccinated and had more protection against the virus.
Born seven weeks premature in March 2020, Chmiel’s daughter spent her first 19 days of life in pandemic lockdown in a neonatal intensive care unit. When she was able to leave the hospital, she entered into an uncertain world that was masked and defensive against COVID-19. And her parents spent the next two years counting the days until they could protect their frail daughter from it, too.
For Chmiel and her husband, the vaccine’s delayed arrival in Texas was a cruel irony. At the moment it was available in late June, their daughter was already infected with COVID-19 and fighting it off.
Her daughter recovered from the virus after several days of fever and is finally eligible for her vaccine.
“We were so relieved when the vaccines were first made available for adults, but for our family that was not the end to the pandemic,” said Chmiel, 36, of Bryan. “We waited and waited for 18-plus months while it seemed the whole world moved on.”
In the two weeks since the federal government allowed emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines for children younger than 5, nearly 32,000 Texas kids in that age group have been vaccinated.
That accounts for just over 1% of the state’s youngest residents, a lower rate than doctors had hoped, but faster than the national rate for kids that age — even as Texas deals with a lower-than-average vaccination rate across the state.
Parents’ hesitancy
Health officials expect the numbers to pick up when more pediatricians launch their vaccine programs in the coming weeks, and hope they do; cases and hospitalizations are climbing again this summer due to new, highly transmissible variants of the virus.
But Alexis Madison, a San Antonio real estate agent and mother, won’t be adding her children to those numbers any time soon.
She may wind up getting them shots out of sheer necessity, she said. But she is not convinced her children, ages 1 and 4, need them right now. Madison is wary of what she believes is intense pressure by the government to get them vaccinated. And she’s not sure she trusts the science that says the vaccines are safe for kids their age.
“I'm just kind of watching to see, when other parents decide to get their kids vaccinated, how they are,” said Madison, 32, who got vaccinated herself only so she could travel without hassles. “If it becomes mandatory for something, OK fine, I’ll just get them vaccinated so they can play a sport or whatnot. But it’s not mandatory right now, so I’m not making them get it.”
Vaccine acceptance by parents of Texas babies and toddlers is slower than the medical community had hoped it would be after COVID-19 vaccines were approved for use in children ages 6 months to 4 years old in late June.
On June 17, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization, after frequent delays over several months, to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 5 years, as well as to Moderna’s vaccine for kids ages 6 months to 6 years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended their use the following day.
So far, just over 1% of the estimated 1.8 million Texans under 5 have gotten at least one dose. Nationwide, the number is slightly lower, with less than 1% of the country’s 29 million kids under 5 having their first doses.
Hesitancy with the vaccine rises among parents of younger kids because they tend to be more skeptical about the need for them, said Dr. Jaime E. Fergie, director of pediatric infectious diseases and hospital epidemiologist at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi.
When the vaccine was made available to Texas kids ages 5 to 11 in November, nearly 6% of the population was vaccinated in the first two weeks. For children ages 12-15, when they were approved for the vaccine a year ago, more than 11% were vaccinated in the same time frame, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
During that time, the delta variant was making an alarming and devastating impact on the nation’s children, killing twice as many Texas kids in August through October 2021 than COVID-19 did the entire first year of the pandemic.
Children accounted for nearly 20% of all COVID-19 cases reported in the U.S. throughout the pandemic. But they are less likely to develop serious illness or die than are patients who are decades older, and the mortality rate has been relatively low compared with adults.
Still, at least 155 Texans age 19 or younger have died from COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, according to state health data. One-third of them were younger than 10.
Some 61% of Texans are fully vaccinated, compared with 67% nationwide.
But in recent weeks, two new, highly contagious subvariants of omicron are causing hospitalizations and deaths to swing upward again.
At Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, the number of patients with COVID-19 on normal days when the numbers are low and steady hovers between below 5 and up to 10, Versalovic said.
Last Thursday, that number had gone past 30, he said.
In Corpus Christi, the positivity rate among the patients at Driscoll Children’s has shot up recently as well. In April, less than 1% of patients were testing positive for COVID-19 upon admission into the hospital, Fergie said. Last week, it was 12.5%.

NEW YORK, July 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT) between March 4, 2021 and March 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Yext 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 Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 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 August 16, 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) Yext's revenue and earnings were significantly deteriorating because of, among other things, poor sales execution and performance, as well as COVID-19 related disruptions; (2) accordingly, Yext was unlikely to meet consensus estimates for its full year ("FY") fiscal 2022 financial results and fiscal 2023 outlook; and (3) as a result, defendants' 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 Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 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.

5 interesting characters you will see in a church service
There are interesting characters in church who would amaze any observer
Do you remember those kids back in school who used to faint just to attract people’s attention or announce that a parent now worked abroad? Unfortunately, a bunch of them are in church.
These are the people who wear high heels just to make a grand entrance. They clap and dance vigorously to attract the cameraman’s attention or anyone willing to look at them.
When giving offerings they have to walk slowly, to give you enough time to admire them.
When the pastor says ‘Bwana Asifiwe’ instead of waving like normal people, they’ll make sure they stand up as if the pastor asked them to. And if it’s a lady she’ll have to sway her hips a bit because why not utilize the opportunity?
2. The holy Joe
Their dress code tells you they are never going to entertain the devil or exes in their life. They can recite almost every scripture without looking at the Bible. They speak in tongues and walk with their heads bowed down.
They judge people the most, especially if you have dreadlocks, a tattoo or if you simply look like a sinner. They’ll keep giving you the ‘You need to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior’ look. They never miss bible studies, keshas, or any church-related event. You can never keep up with these ones.
3. The sleeper
I’m convinced that when God created the world, he said, “Let every church have a sleeper,” because wherever you go, you’ll always find a bunch of people sleeping in church.
And I usually wonder, kwani how sweet is this sleep? Because some will snore, drool, or even fall from their chairs. You can be excused for dozing off, but falling asleep in church?
Why don’t you just stay at home and sleep? It’s not like the angels throw you in a pit with lions.
4. The one with a never ending testimony
There’s always that person who can go on and on about their testimony until the sun sets. They will put like ten characters in the story, one a sickly relative who was admitted to the ICU but got better after the third day. An ex-girlfriend who left when they were broke…They will give unnecessary information and even have the audacity to go back to 1997 and tell a story about their school life. It’s usually like a low-budget movie without a storyline.
As much as we are grateful for what the Lord has done in your life, can you end this so we can go back home and eat? We are starving.
The situation is salvaged when a security person escorts them from the pulpit.
5. The out-of-tune singer
It’s like every choir is cursed with one person who’s always out of tune. They are so high-pitched that you can distinctively pick them out from the rest of the crowd. If you are not careful, they can make your ears bleed. It’s as if they got into the choir by mistake.
You’d think they don’t know that they are usually out of tune, but they do. Lakini ile kiburi wakonayo, you can’t tell them anything. In fact, you’ll think it’s not them. These are also the same people who move wrongly. When people are going right, they are going left and vice versa. They always seem confused.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)All-Stars Kahleah Copper and Emma Meesseman scored 23 points each and the Chicago Sky pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Dallas Wings 89-81 on Saturday, despite missing Courtney Vandersloot.
Copper and Meesseman picked up the slack for the defending champions and Vandersloot, who was injured with a concussion last time out in the Sky’s 80-68 win over the Los Angeles Sparks and is under the league’s concussion protocol.
Copper grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds for her second double-double of the season as the Sky outscored Dallas 30-16 in the fourth quarter to wrap up their fourth straight win and improve to a league-best 19-6. Meesseman added eight rebounds and seven assists. Allie Quigley pitched in with 16 points and five assists. Candace Parker added 13 points and eight boards.
Marina Mabrey scored 22 to lead Dallas (11-14), which fell to 5-8 at home. Arike Ogunbowale scored 15 but sank just 4 of 16 shots. Allisha Gray hit both of her 3-pointers and scored 14.
The Wings took a 65-59 lead into the final quarter.

Arsenal boss Arteta: Amazon documentary was 'challenging' experience for club
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted that filming a documentary for Amazon took its toll on everyone involved with the Gunners. Part of the "All or Nothing" series, Arsenal's entire 2021-22 was captured on camera, with the first episodes soon to come out for public consumption.
Arteta, though, is yet to see the finished product and revealed that he was often uncomfortable with the intrusion into the club's day-to-day life.
What did Arteta say about documentary filming?
"Honestly, it was challenging but as well I think it was an incredible experience personally, for the club and everybody can see the reality without any boundaries about how it works on a daily basis at the club," the manager told reporters.

"On a personal level obviously it was really demanding because you are on camera for 24/7.
"You tend to forget about it. So when they talk about Big Brother houses and people can do certain things, it is true because I have experience that you forget about the cameras.
"Probably in the documentary you will see, that I don't think that now unfortunately. Now probably if we are going to have a camera there, I would not do it. But they are done."
"Were we allowed to censor anything? [Director of Media] Mark [Gonnella] was. I haven't seen anything. I think I'm the only person at a senior level that hasn't seen it.
"[If there are issues] it will be my blame because I did it - or someone else did it!"
When will documentary air?
"Arsenal: All or Nothing" is due to air its first three episodes on August 4, with more becoming available in the following weeks on Amazon Prime.
The series will include a total of eight episodes, following the Gunners throughout what was ultimately a disappointing campaign as Arteta's men just missed out on Champions League football. | https://www.goal.com/en-sa/news/arsenal-boss-arteta-amazon-documentary-was-challenging/bltd57abe14cb236561 | 2022-07-17T20:02:21Z | https://www.goal.com/en-sa/news/arsenal-boss-arteta-amazon-documentary-was-challenging/bltd57abe14cb236561 | false | 10 |
It’s been affectionately known as “The Rent” since it opened for football business in 2003.
But the town of East Hartford has struggled to collect some form of revenue from the land around what is now officially Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field — or, as coined by a clever fan of building’s only tenant, the UConn Husky football team, PAWSARF.
Innumerable proposals for use of various pieces of real estate around the stadium have been made in the intervening years since UConn beat Indiana 34-10 on Aug. 30, 2003.
Retail, residential, commercial, and industrial ideas for the property have been bandied about regularly.
Lately, there seems to be one that finally has a chance of being seen to fruition.
Pratt & Whitney, which still owns much of the land and donated the grounds for the football stadium to be built a couple decades ago, agreed to sell the latest parcel to Boston-based National Development in November.
The developer plans two different projects, with what it is calling a “mixed-use” one just off Silver Lane and a “logistics center” on the site of the former runway adjacent to Pratt’s buildings.
Cabela’s, the outdoor retailer that has so far been the only addition to the land around the stadium since the latter’s construction, is finally about to get some neighbors, it seems.
Let’s hope those newcomers help revitalize the whole Silver Lane area, which has seen some improvements but obviously could use a make over of some sort in many spots.
Although far less than the 40,000 fans that once attended games every other weekend in the fall to watch the Huskies play at on the site come to see them these days, there are signs that new coach Jim Mora couuld actually put a decent product on the field this season. An improved product around the field would coincide nicely with an improved product on it.

THUMBS UP: To police East Hartford, Manchester, and Hartford for their work in eventually stopping four teenagers who went on something of a crime spree in the area Wednesday night. Three 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old were charge after allegedly stealing a car in East Hartford, exchanging gunfire with the owner of said car, robbing three men in Manchester, then finally being apprehended in downtown Hartford.
***
THUMBS DOWN: To Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford for its decision to close its labor and delivery unit and limit maternity services at the facility. For those of us who have known numerous children who were born there, it’s a shame to see. And it’s also a disturbing trend in the state and around the country where those living in rural areas are left without key health services available to them without a lengthy commute.

TOWN OF THE WEEK: Somers. In a week where the Open Championship is being contested at the Old Course in St. Andrews Scotland, we pay homage to another old golf track in our neck of the woods. No, Cedar Knob Golf Course in Somers is not close to the oldest course in the state. It opened in 1963, a little after folks down in suburban New York started the Greenwich Country Club in 1892. But for those of us in the state without the pocketbook or the pedigree to play such places, Cedar Knob has provided a great spot for we local hackers to pretend to hoist the Claret Jug when we make a rare birdie on No. 18.

Willie Poching admits Wakefield have got themselves “in a pickle” but can get out of the relegation mire.
They fell bottom after Toulouse beat Leeds on Saturday. And that was compounded when his error-ridden side slipped to a woeful loss at Hull KR today. Seven of Wakefield's remaining eight games are against top-six opponents starting with a visit from champions St Helens.
And after this horror show, Trinity fans fear they could drop out of Super League for the first time. But Poching insisted: “I believe in the boys. We have to change things, obviously. We have to make alterations and it was disappointing today.
“But I’ve told them I’m up for the fight. We’ve got ourselves in a pickle but we have to roll our sleeves up and punch our way out of it. I’m sure we can.”
Wakefield led 4-0 at half-time with a rare moment of class courtesy of Max Jowitt’s 22nd minute try. But Lachlan Coote did brilliantly to help set up Jimmy Keinhorst four minutes after the restart to level things up. Danny McGuire’s side took the lead when Mikey Lewis lofted a chip and Ethan Ryan got above Jorge Taufua to claim his 99th career try.
Coote - who crucially missed four goals in the Magic Weekend loss against Hull - couldn’t convert either. But he did after scoring his own try in the 61st minute, stepping through some woeful defence. That came after debutant Taufua - Trinity’s big NRL signing from Manly - was penalised for a late hit on Sam Wood. When Will Dagger added a 70th minute drop goal, KR looked home and hosed at 15-4.
But Trinity won a short restart and Jacob Miller’s long pass sent Lewis Murphy over at the corner. Mason Lino converted and Miller almost got over himself only to be held up by desperate KR defence, although Poching says his captain insisted he had the ball down.
But Rovers, who shot from tenth up to seventh to ease their own lingering drop fears, held on to deliver caretaker coach McGuire’s first win. They did it against the odds, too, given they lost two players to first half injuries. Captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall was taken to hospital after struggling to breath following an elbow in the throat. And Dean Hadley needed oxygen on the field after dislocating his problematic shoulder again.
McGuire, who played alongside Poching in Leeds’ 2004 Grand Final win, said: “We were way off in the first half. I let them know at half-time and it’s probably the most aggressive I've been for some time. I went for the throat. But they responded really well to that. It was a bit stressful at the end but I’m buzzing and delighted they could sing the victory song today. Now we're going to look up the table."

LONDON (AP) — The candidates to become the next British prime minister burnished their right-wing credentials Sunday, as they looked to remain in the race to succeed Boris Johnson.
Many of the five remaining hopefuls highlighted issues linked to Brexit and immigration as they attempted to woo fellow Conservative lawmakers ahead of a third round of voting on Monday, when another contender will drop out.
Even though the eventual winner will automatically become prime minister, the contenders must appeal to a narrow constituency of party members, who tend to be whiter, older and more right-wing than the general public. The candidates face a series of votes from lawmakers next week, who will narrow down the field to two, before facing a runoff among an estimated 180,000 Conservative Party members.
Writing in Britain’s Sunday Telegraph newspaper, the former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, who is the frontrunner among Conservative lawmakers, pledged to tear up European Union laws as Britain beds down its position outside the bloc.
Appealing to the pro-Brexit party vote, Sunak wrote that he will have “scrapped or reformed all of the EU law, red tape and bureaucracy that is still on our statute book and slowing economic growth” by the time of the next election if he becomes the next prime minister.
Meanwhile, Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt, who became a surprise frontrunner and bookmaker favorite last week, was forced to challenge accusations that she had pushed through a policy to end the requirement for trans people to obtain a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria before they could legally change gender when she was equalities minister in Theresa May’s government.
She told the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme that she had managed a consultation with health care professionals but no policy had been developed while she was in the job.
Despite the demographics of the members, the race to succeed Johnson has been called the most diverse for a British prime minister. Sunak and Kemi Badenoch, a former equalities minister, are both non-white, while three of the remaining five contenders are women.
Badenoch, whose parents are from Nigeria, remains little known. But she has seen her star rise after her public showing in a television debate Friday, and led a poll of party members by the ConservativeHome website on Sunday.
She would be the first Black prime minister and, at 42, the youngest in more than 250 years.
Despite her background, she has made immigration control a key pillar of her political pitch, pledging Sunday to “do whatever it takes to deal with the small boats issue.” More than 14,000 migrants have made the 20-mile journey to Britain across the English channel from France so far this year.
Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, is touting her international experience, as Britain’s top diplomat and a former trade secretary, and is vowing to take a tough line with the European Union in post-Brexit trade spats.
The final candidate, Tom Tugendhat, trails his colleagues after the second round of voting. But he is making a virtue of having never sat in Boris Johnson’s government. He is calling for a “clean start” after the months of scandals that eventually saw Johnson signal his resignation. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/world-news/candidates-for-uk-leader-seek-to-woo-right-wing-before-vote/ | 2022-07-17T20:20:43Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/world-news/candidates-for-uk-leader-seek-to-woo-right-wing-before-vote/ | true | 25 |
Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck obtain wedding license in Nevada
NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have obtained a marriage license in Nevada, according to Clark County records posted Sunday.
The Clark County clerk’s office in Nevada showed the pair obtained a marriage license that was processed Saturday. A marriage license is not proof of marriage.
Representatives for Lopez and Affleck did not immediately respond to messages.
In April, Lopez made their engagement public in a video posted to her fans showing off a green engagement ring. The marriage license filing showed that Lopez plans to take the name Jennifer Affleck.
Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, famously dated in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance last year. They earlier starred together in 2003′s “Gigli” and 2004′s “Jersey Girl.” Around that time, they became engaged but never wed.
Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, with whom he shares three children. They divorced in 2018.
Lopez has been married three times before. She was briefly married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998 and to Cris Judd from 2001-2003. She and singer Marc Anthony were married for a decade after wedding in 2004 and share 14-year-old twins together.

1 dead, 2 wounded in shooting at East Bay bowling alley
LIVERMORE — Police were searching Sunday for a suspect in a shooting at a San Francisco Bay Area bowling area that left a man dead and two other people wounded, authorities said.
Someone pulled out a gun and opened fire Saturday evening during a fight inside a bar at Granada Bowl near downtown Livermore, police said.
Three people were shot and a 28-year-old man died at the scene, according to Livermore police Sgt. Steve Goard. The wounded victims, who were not identified, were hospitalized in stable condition, Goard told reporters.
Police didn't immediately release a description of the suspect, who ran from the scene, Goard said late Saturday. He said detectives had a number of witnesses to interview.
Granada Bowl said on its website that it specializes in kids' birthday parties. The website said the bowling alley in the East Bay would be closed temporarily and hopes to reopen early in the week. | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/1-dead-2-wounded-in-shooting-at-east-bay-bowling-alley/ | 2022-07-17T20:25:43Z | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/1-dead-2-wounded-in-shooting-at-east-bay-bowling-alley/ | true | 6 |
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department said two people have been arrested after a police pursuit resulted in a crash Saturday night.
The incident began near Hopkins and Villard shortly before 5 p.m. Officers saw a reckless driver and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle, however, did not stop and instead led police on a chase.
Officials said the pursuit ended when the vehicle crashed into an occupied, parked delivery truck near 19th and Hampton. The impact caused the fleeing vehicle to roll.
Milwaukee police said the occupants of the fleeing vehicle, a 29-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, were arrested and taken to the hospital with non-fatal injuries.
The occupant of the delivery truck, a 39-year-old man, was also taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers recovered illegal firearms and drugs from the vehicle.
A news release from MPD said criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office in the coming days. | https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/police-pursuit-ends-in-crash-drugs-recovered | 2022-07-17T20:27:54Z | https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/police-pursuit-ends-in-crash-drugs-recovered | true | 1 |

TORONTO (AP) — Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning, sending the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Kansas City, in last place in the AL Central, was without 10 unvaccinated players, including All-Star outfielder Andrew Benintendi and infielder Whit Merrifield, during this four-game series in Toronto.
The Royals won the first game of the series Thursday and then dropped the next three.
Since unvaccinated foreign nationals aren’t allowed to enter Canada, the Royals roster included Triple-A and Double-A prospects, making an already difficult series against the high-powered Blue Jays more challenging.
Both teams scored a pair of runs in the first few innings, but that was the extent of the offense until Kirk’s homer off Wyatt Mills (0-1).
“Thank God we’ve finished off strong in the first half,” Kirk said through an interpreter.
Blue Jays starter José Berríos settled into a rhythm, working 6⅓ innings, allowing two earned runs and seven hits while striking out seven and walking one.
Left-hander Tim Mayza (3-0) took over for Berríos out of the bullpen, working 1⅔ innings in relief with two strikeouts to pick up the win. Jordan Romano worked a perfect ninth for his 20th save of the season.
Royals starter Kris Bubic kept Blue Jays hitters off balance. He was effective against the right-handed heavy Jays, allowing just two unearned runs and five hits while striking out four. The 24-year-old said by diversifying his pitches, he was able to get hitters swinging at low-probability pitches.
“We mixed pitches really well, rhythm, tempo,” Bubic said. “Just wanted to stay on the attack as much as I could all day, and good things happened.”
Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. let a routine double play ball go through his legs in the third inning. His 13th error of the season contributed to the first two Blue Jays runs.
But Royals manager Mike Matheny said he wasn’t worried about Witt’s lone miscue in this game.
“Errors happen to the very best players, and he does a great job of letting them go and getting ready for the next one,” Matheny said.
Matt Chapman had two more hits for the Blue Jays, giving him seven hits in his past six games.
Nick Pratto, one of Kansas City’s call-ups, hit his first major league home run in the second inning off Berríos.
“It was just something where he threw a pitch that kind of matched up with what I feel is a strength of mine, and I didn’t miss it,” the 24-year-old said.
During this four-game series, Pratto has showed why he’s considered one of the Royals’ top prospects, picking up three hits and playing well at first base.
Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen threw out the Royals Freddy Fermin trying to steal second in the fifth inning, then picked off Pratto at first to end a threat in the seventh. The Jays catcher is 3 for 10 throwing out base-stealers this season.
THE SIX FROM THE 6IX
Closer Jordan Romano was announced Sunday as a replacement for the All-Star Game, joining Blue Jays teammates Alek Manoah, Alejandro Kirk, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Santiago Espinal and George Springer on the AL roster.
ALL-STAR BLUES
Excluding the shortened 2020 season, the Royals will now have entered the All-Star break either tied for or in last place in the AL Central for the fourth consecutive season.
BUBIC’S BEST
Bubic’s seven innings matched a career high. Sunday was also the second time in his career the left-hander has allowed no earned runs through seven innings, with the previous time coming Sept. 26, 2021.
ROSTER MOVES
Before Sunday’s game, the Royals recalled LHP Gabe Speier from Triple-A Omaha. Speier has a 2.33 ERA in 17 major-league appearances this season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays LHP Yusei Kikuchi threw a bullpen Sunday that was supervised by pitching coach Pete Walker. Kikuchi has been on the injured list with a neck strain since July 7.
UP NEXT
Royals: Kansas City hosts Tampa Bay for three games beginning Friday night in its first series following the All-Star break.
Blue Jays: Toronto opens the second half with a three-game series at Boston that begins Friday night.

Sen. Marco Rubio: Expose Secret Chinese Communist Party Cells
The CCP is operating inside many of America’s most well-known and respected financial firms.
More than 150 million Americans invest in the stock market. Most assume these highly regulated investments are safe. Unfortunately, Dennis Kwok and Sam Goodman’s op-ed “Communist Cells in Western Firms?” (July 12) reveals a startling risk: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is operating inside many of America’s most well-known and respected financial firms.
CCP members brag about it openly in Chinese state media. Several years ago, McKinsey & Co. employees touted their leadership of CCP branches in the company’s Chinese offices. McKinsey is one of the largest consulting companies in the world. It works closely with the U.S. government and intelligence community.
The risk of Communist infiltration is widespread because the number of publicly traded companies operating in China—from tech giants and advanced manufacturers to shoemakers and drug companies—is staggering. Financial companies such as BlackRock, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs are among the most vulnerable.
Such infiltration poses a real threat. According to the bipartisan, bicameral U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Beijing uses its corporate cells to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority” of the CCP.
There is a good argument that our companies should not be operating at all in China, where a Marxist regime co-opts them to undermine American strength. But at the very least, our nation’s retirees and pensioners deserve more transparency. My No Chinese Communist Surprise Parties Act (S.3598) would require companies to disclose the presence of CCP cells and whether they influence corporate decisions. If companies have to disclose their risk from carbon emissions, they certainly should do the same for communism.

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at claims he could be joining Sporting Lisbon this summer, via his Instagram.
Reports from Portugal had recently suggested that Sporting Lisbon were exploring the possibility of re-signing Ronaldo on a loan deal this summer, according to Sport TV (via Daily Mirror).
The report also claimed that Ronaldo’s car had been spotted parked at the Sporting Lisbon stadium, and Ronaldo has now hit back at those claims, commenting on an Instagram post, as seen below.
It appears Ronaldo isn’t interested in a return to Sporting Lisbon this summer, or at least there has been no approach from his former club.
The chances of Ronaldo returning to Sporting at this stage seem slim, as there’s no doubt the Portuguese star will be desperate to join an elite club to prove himself, after Manchester United endured such a difficult season.
A move to Sporting feels like more of a romantic fairy-tale rather than a realistic solution for Ronaldo, if he was to leave Manchester United.
However, Fabrizio Romano has recently confirmed to CaughtOffside that Ronaldo is growing increasingly frustrated at the club, so it will be interesting to see if he does leave Old Trafford this summer. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/07/17/cristiano-ronaldo-breaks-silence-on-future-amid-interest-from-sporting-lisbon/ | 2022-07-17T21:00:24Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/07/17/cristiano-ronaldo-breaks-silence-on-future-amid-interest-from-sporting-lisbon/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Court records say Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have obtained a marriage license in Nevada.
Clark County Court records posted Sunday showed the pair obtained a marriage license that was processed Saturday.

Chris Evans says he is 'laser-focused on finding a partner' in the near future as he opens up about his love life
He has become well known as one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs over the last few years.
And on Friday, Chris Evans made the rare move of opening up about his love life during an interview with Shondaland.
The 41-year-old performer expressed that he was currently looking to bring someone special into his life despite the strenuous and time-consuming demands of his acting career.
Making it clear: Chris Evans made the rare move of opening up about his love life during an interview with Shondaland that was shared on Friday
When Evans was asked what he was 'laser-focused' on doing in the near future, the actor noted that he was looking for a bit of romance.
'The answer would be that maybe [I'm] laser-focused on finding a partner, you know, someone that you want to live with,' he stated.
The Captain America franchise star expressed that, although he was happy to work as an actor, he understood the impact that his career had on his personal life.
'I love what I do. It's great; I pour all of myself into it. But in terms of — even this industry is full of pockets of doubt, hesitation, and recalibration in terms of really trying to find someone that you really can pour all of yourself into,' he said.
Setting goals: When Evans was asked what he was 'laser-focused' on doing in the near future, the actor noted that he was looking for a bit of romance; he is seen in June

'Maybe it's about trying to find someone that you're looking to spend your life with,' he said.

'I'm the one who fears being enveloped. I was always a really autonomous guy my whole life. Camping by myself is one of my favorite things,' he said.
Evans then noted that a slightly solitary personality was something that he found attractive in a potential partner.
He stated: 'I really like to be with someone who also has their own thing to do as well, you know? If I'm with someone who just kind of adopts my life, that can feel a bit suffocating.'

Several people, including senior police officers, were allegedly injured in the stone-pelting at the residential school in Kaniyamoor near Chinna Salem. According to local reports, around 2,000 people gathered at the school where the Class 12 student was found dead on July 13. All major youth groups in the area had mobilised people through WhatsApp groups and social media for the protest.

Before this, protests by local residents on Wednesday were quelled by a promise of strong action against the school.
Police officers injured
On Sunday, the protests reportedly began around 10 am and turned violent around 10.30 am. The mob pelted stones and ransacked the school’s building, classrooms and the principal’s cabin, and set school buses parked on the campus on fire. According to the police, at least 13 buses were attacked, most of which were burned, and three police vehicles were also set on fire.
“The district superintendent was among those who were injured in the stone-pelting before a police team was able to manage the situation,” NDTV quoted an official. Several people, including senior police officers, were allegedly injured in stone-pelting.
“Minister C V Ganesan and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) ally and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thol Thirumavalavan were among the prominent leaders who visited the victim’s family and vowed to take up the case with the chief minister’s office for action against the school management,” said a senior police officer from the district who was at the spot.
Suicide note found
“A suicide note was also found in her hostel. Even though the family had been promised action, people were organising a protest today,” added the officer.
The police shifted the body to the Government Medical College in Kallakurichi for a postmortem examination after school administrators reported the death. A purported suicide note by the girl mentioned difficulties she faced in various subjects as well as the callous handling of the matter by several teachers, according to the police.

‘Systemic failures’ in Uvalde school massacre, report finds
By Jake Bleiberg and Paul J Weber
Uvalde, Texas: Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to a mass shooting that left 21 people dead at a Uvalde elementary school, but “systemic failures” created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to a report from investigators released overnight.
The nearly 80-page report, obtained by multiple media outlets, was the first to criticise both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the Texas town for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside a fourth-grade classroom.
The report — the most complete account yet of the hesitant and haphazard response to the May 24 massacre at at Robb Elementary School — was written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives and released to family members Sunday.
According to the Texas Tribune, which reviewed the report ahead of its scheduled release to the public later in the day, 376 law enforcement officers massed at the school. The overwhelming majority of those who responded were federal and state law enforcement, including nearly 150 US Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials, according to local media.
“It’s a joke. They’re a joke. They’ve got no business wearing a badge. None of them do,” said Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazer, one of 19 children killed in the shooting.
The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.
Flowers that had been piled high in the city’s central square had been removed as of Sunday, leaving a few stuffed animal maps scattered around the fountains alongside photos of some of the children who were killed.
A nearly 80-minute hallway surveillance video published by the Austin American-Statesman this week publicly showed for the first time a hesitant and haphazard tactical response, which the head of Texas’ state police has condemned as a failure and some Uvalde residents have blasted as cowardly.
Calls for police accountability have grown in Uvalde since the shooting. So far, only one officer from the scene of the deadliest school shooting in Texas history is known to be on leave.
The report is the result of one of several investigations into the shooting, including another led by the Justice Department. A report earlier this month by tactical experts at Texas State University alleged that a Uvalde police officer had a chance to stop the gunman before he went inside the school armed with an AR-15.
But in an example of the conflicting statements and disputed accounts since the shooting, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin has said that never happened. That report had been done at the request of the Texas Department of Public Safety, which McLaughlin has increasingly criticised and accused of trying to minimise the role of its troopers during the massacre.
Steve McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, has called the police response an abject failure.

Mourinho reveals tattoo that pays tribute to Roma, Man Utd, Inter & Porto
Roma boss Jose Mourinho has revealed a new tattoo which pays homage to his former clubs - as well as his own accomplishments. The Portuguese coach is somewhat of a specialist in European competition and will commemorate his various trophy wins through the years with his current employers, Porto, Manchester United and Inter.
Mourinho lifted the inaugural UEFA Conference League this year with Roma, beating out Feyenoord in the final.
It was his fifth major continental title and completed a unique treble after his previous wins in the UEFA Cup/Europa League and Champions League.

- Why Denmark went from a Women’s Euros final to group stage exit in just five years
- Warren Zaire-Emery: PSG's midfield diamond they can't afford to lose
What will Mourinho's tattoo show?
The Special One took to Instagram to show off the blueprints for his body art.
"This is my tattoo," he announced, alongside an image of the three European trophies he has lifted in his career and the corresponding club colours.
"The joy of the Roman people led me to do it. Then I thought about something special, something that would honour all the clubs where I won European competitions. At the same time, I wanted a unique tattoo, one that, so far, I am the only one who can have it.
"Alberto showed me some proposals, I just changed a few details. Here is my tattoo."
Later, he showed the actual tattoo on his arm.
Which titles has Mourinho won?
Mourinho's first continental trophy came in 2002-03 when he led Porto to the UEFA Cup, while the following season he went one better with their first Champions League win since 1987.
The coach regained the Champions League in 2009-10 while at the Inter helm and then took Manchester United to Europa League glory in 2016-17, one of three titles he lifted at Old Trafford.
This past season, he was triumphant again when he led Roma to the Conference League crown.
Curiously, the one crown that has remained elusive for Mourinho is the UEFA Super Cup, the traditional early-season curtain-raiser between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League.
He left both Porto and Inter immediately after their Champions League wins, meaning that he did not take part in either of the following Super Cups, while in 2013 and 2017 he finished on the losing side with Chelsea and United respectively, also losing out in 2003 to Milan while at Porto. | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/mourinho-reveals-tattoo-that-pays-tribute-to-roma-man-utd/blt3b98a1de84db3941 | 2022-07-17T21:50:43Z | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/mourinho-reveals-tattoo-that-pays-tribute-to-roma-man-utd/blt3b98a1de84db3941 | false | 10 |

Enjoy a warm fire no matter where you’re headed with one of these portable fire pits
There’s something about a roaring fire that sets the perfect mood for a party or gathering. But if you’re getting together with friends at the park, a festival or a campsite, you’ll need a fire pit that you can take on the go.
Some portable fire pits are more versatile than others, so you can cook food in addition to enjoying the light and warmth from the fire. You can also choose from both propane- and wood-fueled pits, depending on where you’re headed and what the fire regulations in the area are.
If you’re interested in buying a fire pit you can take to the park, beach or campsite, check out these 13 portable fire pits that create the right atmosphere for any party.
What to look for in a portable fire pit
Weight
A portable fire pit shouldn’t be too heavy, or you’ll have a tough time lugging it in and out of your car and to your party site. Some portable models weigh as little as 5 pounds, but others weigh as much as 30 pounds. In general, it’s best to choose a fire pit weighing no more than 20 pounds to ensure you can easily transport it wherever you need it to go.
Keep in mind that propane fire pits are usually heavier than wood-burning fire pits because of the propane tank’s weight. They’re easier to light, though, so you may want to put up with the added weight for the more user-friendly operation.
Folding design
Some portable fire pits have a foldable design, so they disassemble quickly when you want to take them on the go and fit easily in a bag or the back of your car. You can find some fire pits that fold completely flat, making them the easiest to pack and store. Other models have folding legs, so they aren’t as compact. But they often come with a carrying bag that makes transporting them easier.

(The Hill) – Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Sunday said he saw little value in attempting to have Donald Trump testify before the committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol because he did not trust the former president would tell the truth, even under oath.
“Donald Trump has made it clear that he doesn’t mind not telling the truth. Let’s just put that mildly. He lies all the time. I wouldn’t put it past him to even lie under oath, so I’m not sure what the value is there,” Kinzinger said Sunday on CBS “Face the Nation.”
While Kinzinger told host Margaret Brennan he doesn’t see value in having the former president testify in person before the panel, he said he would like to hear the perspective of former Vice President Mike Pence.
“I think it would be important to hear everything he has to say,” Kinzinger said, though he added that he wasn’t sure if he preferred a subpoena for Pence to testify in person or a request for a transcribed interview. “That said, I’m not sure we get a ton more out of him than what his staff has already told us.”
The former vice president’s chief of staff Marc Short testified before the committee in January. On CBS last week, Short said it would set a “very risky precedent” to ask his former boss to talk to the committee.
Kinzinger said Sunday that the committee’s eighth public hearing, scheduled for Thursday, is the end of this “grouping” but that he expects to have more hearings as new information surfaces.
“I think the thing to keep in mind is this: This investigation is not winding down. We may be towards the end of this tranche of hearings. We may have more hearings in the future. And the investigation is still ongoing. So we’re getting to the bottom of what we need to know,” he said.
“As you saw with Cassidy Hutchinson, if we get information that the American people need to know, we may end up bringing up more hearings at that time too,” he said. | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/kinzinger-says-trump-would-probably-lie-under-oath-to-jan-6-committee/ | 2022-07-17T22:03:06Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/kinzinger-says-trump-would-probably-lie-under-oath-to-jan-6-committee/ | true | 19 |

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — The birdies that flowed so freely for Viktor Hovland over the first three days of the British Open dried up in the final round.
The 24-year-old Norwegian managed only one birdie on the Old Course on Sunday, when he started in a tie for the lead with Rory McIlroy. He ended up tied for fourth place with Tommy Fleetwood after a 2-over 74.
“It was a little anticlimactic after the day yesterday,” said Hovland, who was seeking his first major title. “I was expecting I was going to hang in there for a little bit longer. Yeah, just didn’t have it today. Didn’t hit it very good and didn’t putt as good as yesterday. So it was a frustrating day.”
Hovland made six birdies in the opening round at St. Andrews, six more in the second round combined with an eagle and then six again in the third round — including two from 40 feet. He finished six strokes behind winner Cameron Smith.
The putts on Sunday didn’t roll his way, starting with missing a 15-footer for birdie at the first, and neither did his approach shots.
“I just didn’t hit it good enough,” Hovland said. “I maybe could have gotten a little bit more momentum if I made a few more putts early, but at the same time, I just made a few too many mistakes and just didn’t get close enough to the pins to make any more birdies.”
Hovland, who turned professional in 2019, had his best finish at a major after tying for 12th at the U.S. Open in 2019 and at last year’s British Open.
Playing in the final group with McIlroy, the crowd favorite all week at the home of golf, certainly added some pressure.
“Just a little disappointed I didn’t have it today, but it was a great experience today and obviously yesterday as well,” Hovland said. “Just the whole week was a good learning experience, and I feel like I’m going to, yeah, get better from it.”
Hovland should have no trouble getting into the field at the Masters with his ranking at No. 9, but Fleetwood's birdie on the 18th may have secured the Englishman a spot at Augusta National. Ordinarily, a fourth-place finish at the British Open comes with an invitation to the following year's Masters.
LOW AMATEUR
Filippo Celli's week at the British Open started out better than he had hoped by meeting Rory McIlroy during a practice round on the Old Course.
It got better from there.
The 21-year-old Italian won the silver medal as the low amateur, shooting a 1-under 71 in the final round to finish at 5-under 283.
“Today my golf game was really good, like the last three days,” Celli said. “And today I made a lot of stupid bogeys, I can say that. But that’s OK, because I’m very happy because my dream was to play here, and I won also the silver medal. I can’t ask for a better thing to win the silver medal at the 150th Open in St. Andrews.”
Also as good was his encounter with McIlroy.
Celli said he first saw McIlroy, whom he called his favorite, play at Troon but found it hard to follow him because of the crowds he draws at every hole. The Italian added he and his caddie, Alberto, were on the 13th green while McIlroy was practicing on the fifth. The two holes share a green.
“And I was so happy when Rory, like, he turned to the face to me and Alberto, and he asked me and Alberto, ‘Hey, guys, you mind if I join you for the back nine?’ I looked at Alberto, I say, ‘He’s serious or not?’ I say, ‘Rory, of course you can.’
“I was so lucky and happy because it’s a dream come true because I grew up, like, watching the video of Rory and the win of Rory, all the stuff that he won. So it’s amazing, unbelievable.”
McIlroy, who won the British Open in 2014 at Royal Liverpool, has something in common with Celli — the silver medal. The Northern Irishman won it at the 2007 British Open at Carnoustie.
BEER ME
Cameron Smith has some rather unconventional plans for the claret jug, the trophy that goes to the winner of the British Open.
“I’m definitely going to find out how many beers fit in this thing, that’s for sure,” Smith said in an interview on the first fairway of the Old Course shortly after making birdie on No. 18 to win the title.
A little bit later, after having some time to really get a good look at his prize, Smith was asked to estimate how much beer could fit inside.
“I’m going to guess two,” Smith said. “Two cans of beer.”
Surely that’s not enough to celebrate such an incredible victory, is it?
“I’ll probably have about 20 claret jugs,” Smith guessed, before thinking more realistically. “I’m not sure, mate. To be honest, I’m really tired. It’s been a long week, so I’d be surprised if I make it past 10 or 11 tonight.”

Tirana [Albania], June 18 (ANI/Xinhua): All online public services and government websites in Albania were closed on Sunday following a synchronized cyber attack from outside the country, the Albanian National Agency for the Information Society (AKSHI) said in a press statement.
"In order to withstand these unprecedented and dangerous strikes, we have been forced to close down government systems until the enemy attacks are neutralized," the statement read.
According to AKSHI, the agency has been forced to close down the official websites of the government including the website of the Prime Minister's Office, of the country's Parliament, as well as the governmental portal e-Albania, which is used by all Albanians and foreign residents for public services.
"The national agency is currently working together with the Microsoft team, the Jones Group International team, and the teams of Albanian companies in the ICT field to prevent this cyber attack from damaging or compromising the Albanian systems of information," added the statement.
As of May 1, the Albanian government has decided to close the majority of civil state offices across the country that provided several services and documents to the citizens, giving this major role to the governmental online portal e-Albania.

Cameron Young was the surprise British Open first-round leader who refused to go away quietly.
The American world No.32 scorched around St Andrews to card an opening 64 and lead the Open on his first appearance at the tournament.
Many people expected Young to struggle to cope with the pressure of being on a leaderboard packed with some of the biggest names in the sport.
But the 25-year-old hung in with rounds of 69 and 71 before eagling the last hole on Sunday to complete a superb 65 and finish runner-up to Australian Cameron Smith.
"I gave myself a really nice chance," Young told reporters.
"Frustrating to come up short. But overall I think I had a really good week. And I think I hung in there really well today.
"It probably hurts a little worse to come up one shot short.
"If you lose by eight you don't really care. But I played well today. And I would have signed up for 65 this morning."
Young enjoyed seeing Smith put together the final-round 64 which secured his first major title.
"To watch Cameron shoot what he did, it was pretty amazing," Young said.
"I had a front-row seat to I'm sure one of the better rounds that's been played this year. And we both started four back of two guys that are capable of as much if not more than just about everybody else in the world.
"Today is just more proof that Cameron Smith is one of the very, very best players in the world."
Young knew his only chance of forcing a playoff was to eagle the final hole.
"The way Cameron Smith chips and putts, I didn't really think he would make a four," he said.
"I was just trying to get it there and trying to give myself some kind of look, because obviously you never know. But just based on how he was playing and kind of how that hole sets up, I think there's a very, very good chance that two wasn't going to be enough."
It wasn't enough, but Young believes his day will come.
"I guess one of these times I'll shoot six on the back on Sunday and that will be enough," he said. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/golf/open-debutant-young-hurts-finishing-2nd-c-7555207 | 2022-07-17T22:16:55Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/golf/open-debutant-young-hurts-finishing-2nd-c-7555207 | false | 3 |
Before leaving your lawn mower in the back of the garage, taking a few steps now to prepare it for its seasonal hibernation may save you a lot of hassle down the road. Here’s what to know about winterizing a lawn mower, courtesy of Elizabeth Flaherty for Family Handyman.
It’s time for an oil change
As you probably know, lawn mowers require oil just like other machines with motors. Once it has aged a bit, Flaherty says that oil — which contains gasoline, moisture, soot, and acids — can cause corrosion in internal engine components over time.
To prevent that corrosion from happening over the winter, she recommends giving your lawn mower an oil change and then letting it run for a few minutes. This gives the clean oil a chance to coat all the engine’s internal parts, leaving you ready to roll when spring starts. Also, Flaherty advises changing your lawn mower’s oil before taking care of the gasoline situation.
Deal with the petrol left in the tank
If you’re done with your lawn mower for the season but find that there’s some gas still left in the tank, Flaherty says you have two choices: Either drain what’s in there, or top it off with fresh, stabilised petrol (but, she notes, fuel stabilizer should never be added to anything but fresh, new gas).
How do you know which option to choose? Your owner’s manual will tell you which is best for your mower, as well as let you know if it requires any additional maintenance ahead of its long winter’s nap. | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/07/how-to-winterize-your-lawn-mower-and-why-you-should/ | 2022-07-17T22:34:11Z | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/07/how-to-winterize-your-lawn-mower-and-why-you-should/ | true | 1 |

Canopy beds vary in design, material and price. Our top pick, the Home Styles Naples King Canopy Bed, is a crowd-pleaser with a classic look that will fit most decors.
What to know before you buy a canopy bed
Size
A canopy bed is actually a bed frame. It supports the mattress you already own or are planning to buy. If you already own a mattress, note that a canopy bed will add several inches to the length and width of your bed. Measure to make sure you have enough space and don’t forget to measure height as well if you’ve got a low ceiling.
Most canopy beds are sized to match common mattress types twin, full, king and queen. Some models only come in one of these sizes, so check before buying.
Style
Canopy beds can be broken down into two styles. A classic canopy bed style has a traditional, inviting feel. They’re usually made of wood and often feature ornate decorative elements that add a sense of refinement to your bedroom.
A modern canopy bed style has a sleek, streamlined feel. They’re usually made of metal and typically have fewer frills. If you want something strong and functional that gets the job done, this may be your preferred option.
Curtains
Canopy beds look great with curtains. Adding curtains to your canopy bed will help retain warmth during the winter, perfect for sleepers living in cold areas or with temperamental heaters. Most models do not come with curtains. You have to buy and attach them yourself.
Keep in mind that some fabrics are much heavier than you realize and your canopy bed may not support the excess weight of your favorite curtains. If your curtain material isn’t light and airy, check with the manufacturer to make sure there won’t be a problem.
What to look for in a quality canopy bed
Material
Wood and metal are the two most common materials used to make canopy beds. Wood has a classic feel but may be more difficult to clean and maintain. Wood can also be less durable over time.
Metal is a sturdy choice but may require some dressing up so it doesn’t feel cold or mismatch with the rest of your bedroom. If you like metal but still want some decoration, consider wrought iron. While more expensive than other metals, wrought iron canopy beds often have beautiful and intricate designs.
Durability
You want your canopy bed to look great, but you also want it to last. Do you have a dog or a cat that loves to scratch up your furniture? A metal canopy bed may be the better choice. Do you always knock the water glass off your bedside table in the middle of the night? Maybe you don’t want that water to be soaking into your wood canopy bed until you wake up.
Pay attention to how your mattress will sit within the frame, especially if two people will be sleeping on it. You want a model that will give you the proper support for years to come.
Headboards and storage
Most canopy beds have a headboard and some canopy beds have a footboard. This is usually where the decorative elements will be located. If you’re tall, check the distance between the headboard and the footboard. You’ll want a few extra inches beyond your actual height to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.
Canopy beds also raise mattresses to different levels. If you need the extra storage space underneath your mattress to keep bulky items such as coats or luggage, check the dimensions before you buy. Another good storage option is to add a matching bench in front of the footboard.
How much you can expect to spend on a canopy bed
Metal canopy beds for a twin-size mattress are $150-$175. Full-size and queen-size metal and particleboard canopy beds are $175-$250. King-size, high-end wood or wrought iron canopy beds cost $250 and up.
Canopy bed FAQ
Do canopy beds require a lot of assembly?
A. A canopy bed is harder to assemble than your typical bed frame. The pieces will likely be long and heavy. You’re going to want to read through all of the instructions to make sure you understand every part of the process before you begin. You’ll also need help from a friend or family member. If you’re intimidated by the assembly, you can hire a local handyperson.
Do you need a box spring?
A. Canopy beds usually have enough slats and support rails that a box spring isn’t necessary, but every model is different. Consult the manufacturer to see what they recommend. Also, check your mattress warranty. It may become void if you don’t use a box spring.

Millions in jewels stolen from armored truck in California
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Millions of dollars worth of gems and jewelry were stolen in an armored truck robbery last week in Southern California, authorities said Sunday.
The Brink’s truck was robbed in the early morning on July 11 near Los Angeles, said Dana Callahan, a spokeswoman for the security company.
The merchandise had been loaded onto the truck late on July 10 following an exhibit hosted by the International Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo, south of San Francisco, said Brandy Swanson, the group’s director. It was going to an event at the Pasadena Convention Center just northeast of Los Angeles, she said.
Swanson said between 25 and 30 bags were taken, containing an unknown number of individual pieces. She said 18 victims were reporting more than $100 million in losses. Callahan said it was less than $10 million.
“According to the information the customers provided to us before they shipped their items, the total value of the missing items is less than $10 million,” Brink’s said in a statement. “We are working with law enforcement, and we will fully reimburse our customers for the value of their assets that were stolen, in accordance with the terms of our contract.”
Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles, said the robbery was in the desert city of Lancaster in northern LA County. Eimiller said the bureau agency was working with local authorities, but she could not immediately provide more information.
A dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which patrols Lancaster, didn’t have information about the investigation on Sunday.
Swanson said vendors who travel between jewelry shows typically underinsure their merchandise because they can’t afford to insure it fully.
“That’s where the discrepancy comes in. These are mom-and-pop operators,” Swanson said. “They’re devastated. Some of these people have lost their entire livelihoods.”
The International Gem and Jewelry show hosts about 45 shows nationwide per year, she said. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-california/2022/07/17/millions-in-jewels-stolen-from-armored-truck-in-california/ | 2022-07-17T22:42:08Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-california/2022/07/17/millions-in-jewels-stolen-from-armored-truck-in-california/ | true | 59 |

Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. said it has agreed to buy regional lender Suncorp Bank for about 4.9 billion Australian dollars ($3.3 billion), in a deal that could accelerate growth of its retail and commercial businesses.
The acquisition of Suncorp Bank from Suncorp Group Ltd. will be funded by selling new shares to raise about A$3.5 billion and from existing capital, ANZ said Monday. The entitlement offer price of A$18.90/share is a 12.7% discount to ANZ's last closing price.
Suncorp Bank, based in Australia's Queensland state, has a home loan portfolio of about A$47 billion and A$45 billion in deposits.
ANZ said the deal will boost growth of its retail and commercial businesses and also improve the geographic balance of its business in Australia.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2666263284586/phishing-attacks-hit-all-time-high | 2022-07-17T23:03:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2666263284586/phishing-attacks-hit-all-time-high | false | null |
ANZ to buy Suncorp’s banking arm for $4.9 billion
By Clancy Yeates
ANZ Bank has signed a deal to buy Suncorp’s banking arm for $4.9 billion, as the big four lender looks to expand in the lucrative retail banking market and increase its exposure to Queensland.
ANZ shares were put into a trading halt on Monday morning, as the bank said it would seek to raise about $3.5 billion in new equity to help fund the all-cash purchase, which will bring about $47 billion in home loans to ANZ.
Under the deal, Suncorp’s banking arm will continue to operate under the Suncorp brand for five years, and it will continue to be led by its current chief executive Clive van Horen, who will report to ANZ chief executive Shayne Elliott.
Elliott said ANZ had also committed to not closing Suncorp branches in Suncorp’s home state of Queensland for at least three years from when the deal is completed, and ANZ also pledged there would be no job losses in Suncorp’s bank in Queensland for at least three years.
“The acquisition of Suncorp Bank will be a cornerstone investment for ANZ and a vote of confidence in the future of Queensland,” Elliott said.
“With much of the work to simplify and strengthen the bank completed, and our digital transformation well-progressed, we are now in a position to invest in and reshape our Australian business. This will result in a stronger more balanced bank for customers and shareholders.”
The deal, which comes after ANZ’s retail banking business has struggled in recent years due to delays in its mortgage processing, is targeted at bulking up ANZ’s presence in the home loan market, where it is the fourth-biggest lender in the country. The acquisition includes $47 billion in home loans, $45 billion in deposits and $11 billion in commercial loans.
Suncorp owns some of the largest insurance brands in the country including AAMI, GIP, Shannons and Apia, and the sale of its bank will turn it into a pure-play insurance company, something some investors have long supported.
Chairman Christine McLoughlin said the deal was aimed at creating value for shareholders, arguing that a break-up of the financial services conglomerate made more sense for investors.
“Both businesses will benefit from a singular focus on their growth strategies and investment requirements,” McLoughlin said. “We believe the agreed price fairly values the bank and reflects the hard work of our people and progress made on delivering our strategic objectives.”
The purchase will require the approval of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which has expressed concerns about competition in retail banking in recent years, and Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers.
ANZ on Monday also released a trading update on Monday, saying it had helped to turn around the performance of its home lending business, which posted 3 per cent growth in loans during the quarter. It also benefited from rising interest rates, which helped to lift net interest margins by 3 basis points in the quarter.
“This was a pleasing quarter where all our businesses performed, particularly our home loan business in Australia,” Elliott said.
ANZ also said it was pulling out of discussions with KKR about a possible acquisition of accounting software group MYOB, after ANZ admitted it was considering buying the business only last week. The proposed deal had been met with scepticism by investors and analysts.
ANZ is helping to fund the purchase through a fully-underwritten entitlement officer, which will allow retail and institutional shareholders to buy one new share in the bank for every 15 shares held. It is selling the new ANZ stock at $18.90, which is a 12.7 per cent discount to its last trading price.
ANZ said it expected to lift the trading halt in its shares on Thursday this week.

Where the Crawdads Sing tells the fictional story of Kya, a girl left to raise herself along a North Carolina bayou in the 1950's and 60's. "The marsh girl," as she's known, is reviled and shunned by those in the nearby town. In time, Kya is put on trial for murder. Now, there's a film adapted from the novel by an author with a mysterious past.
It took wildlife scientist Delia Owens a decade to write Where the Crawdads Sing. Her first novel has now been on the New York Times best seller list for 168 weeks (most of that time at the top). Actress Reese Witherspoon loved it so much, she added it to her popular book club and produced the new film adaptation.
"It just blew me away," Witherspoon told CBS Sunday Morning. "It felt like when I was reading To Kill A Mockingbird or just any sort of classic Southern literature. She layers on this thriller element, there's a murder..."
And murder... a real life murder in the mid 1990's... is the big elephant in the room. With the film's release, news has resurfaced that 73 year old Owens is still wanted for questioning by Zambian authorities as a possible witness, co- conspirator and accessory to federal crimes. At the time, she and her then- husband Mark were living in Zambia as animal conservationists, trying to save elephants from poachers.
Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg first wrote about this for The New Yorker in 2010, and more recently, The Atlantic magazine, where he's now editor in chief. His reporting suggests the Owens set up a brutal operation to go after anyone who was a threat to the elephant reserve. In fact, an ABC news crew documenting the Owens's work in 1995 actually captured the execution of a suspected poacher.
"The bodies of the poachers are often left where they fall, for the animals to eat," narrator Meredith Viera said on the show Turning Point. "Conservation. Morality. Africa."
You can hear the gunshots, but the shooter of the unidentified man was never seen on camera, a body was never found, and no one has been formally charged with a crime. According to Jeffrey Goldberg, some witnesses reportedly implicated Mark Owens and his son Christopher. But the journalist says their attorneys have issued statements of denial in the killing. He quoted Delia Owens saying she had nothing to do with it.
For months, the movie's publicists have told me the author is not available to comment. So the news continues to hang over the film like Spanish moss over a murky bayou.
Taylor Swift wrote and sang on the film's soundtrack, saying on Instagram, she wanted "to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story." But she's faced social media backlash for her involvement in the film. In an interview, the director and star of the movie both told me they didn't know anything about this part of Delia Owens' past, though they did say she has a cameo in the film.
Instead, they talked up how the isolation and resilience of Where the Crawdads Sing resonated with readers, especially when the coronavirus pandemic left many feeling alone.
"There's this great murder mystery that keeps you turning the pages," director Olivia Newman said. "There's this survivalist tale and this observation of nature which is so gorgeously articulated by a scientist. There's this epic romance that provides a certain escape from some of the harsher realities of our lives And so I think especially during a pandemic it was so wonderful to be immersed in that world and that was the hope for the movie. That was the hope for the movie was to create that same sort of world that you didn't want to leave."
British actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, who plays Kya in the film, said she met with author Delia Owens when they shot on location in the marshlands around New Orleans.
"To actually film in these amazing sort of bayous and marshes with the Spanish moss and the sound of cicadas, oh, it was just absolutely magical," she said. "We had crazy thunder and lightening storms, and at one point the set flooded. We had alligators along the banks and snake wranglers. And it was just like it had been taken from my imagination."
Edgar-Jones says Delia Owens encouraged her to enjoy herself in portraying the main character.
"Kya's a very complex character," she said. "She is very sort of strong and and resilient. But she's also a very curious and gentle creature. And I think that kind of mixture of things was something I found very interesting about her, because she's complicated like so many of us are."
Early reviews of Where the Crawdads Sing have been mixed. It remains to be seen whether questions about the author will overshadow the film.

Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard are hoping to interview members of the royal family as they take it in turns to host ITV show Lorraine.
The presenters are replacing Lorraine Kelly on her self-titled morning show while she takes her usual summer break from presenting duties.
Good Morning Britain host Singh told Hello magazine her dream guest would be eight-year-old Prince George.
“I love having kids on, and it would be interesting to hear what he thought about wearing a suit at Wimbledon,” the 44-year-old said.
The mother-of-one added: “Children of that age are very switched on, and it would be fascinating to hear how much he knows about his role in life.
“I’d also like a conversation with the Queen. She holds so many secrets, a Pandora’s box that will never be opened.
“I’m an ambassador for domestic violence charity Refuge and think Camilla is great, too, raising awareness of domestic violence through Safe Lives.”
Loose Women panellist Lampard, 43, revealed she is a big fan of the Duchess of Cambridge.
The former One Show presenter said of Kate: “She’s fantastic and I truly believe she was destined to become queen.
“I can’t imagine anyone doing a more fantastic job than her. What I’d most like to ask her is about the ordinary side of her life, at home away from the cameras.”
The duo, who will be presenting separately, promised to make a distinctive mark on the show.
Singh said: “I’m quite sarcastic and enjoy a bit of banter.
“My favourite stories are the quirky ones and I embrace chaos.”
Mother-of-two Lampard added: “I get a weird thrill when something doesn’t go to plan.
“Throughout the summer we’ll be like the naughty prefects and when the new term starts in autumn the head girl will return.
“Until then I feel a sense of responsibility looking after Lorraine’s ‘baby’.”

A universal household levy could offer a viable alternative to the BBC licence fee, a new report has suggested.
The Lords Communications and Digital Committee said the model, in which each household would be required to pay a flat fee regardless of consumption, could provide the broadcaster with “predictable and sustainable levels of income”.
In a report into the future funding of the BBC, the committee said it would need to be means-tested to make it fairer than the current model, with linking the fee to council tax a way of achieving this.
This method has been adopted in Switzerland and Germany.
The committee also urged all parties to consider a hybrid model in which public service content would be publicly funded, while other programming, such as high-end drama, would be behind a paywall.
The report said the model would give audiences choice while ensuring the BBC’s core programming remains universally accessible, but warned there would be “significant commercial risk with no guarantee of success”.
In the 73-page document, the committee said many of the advantages of the existing licence fee are “under threat” and the model has become “regressive”.
It ruled out two funding models touted widely during the ongoing debate over the corporation’s funding.
It recommended against entirely subscription or advertising-funded models, as well as ones in which the BBC is fully funded by Government grants.
A purely advertising-funded BBC is “highly unlikely to be viable” and would mean “a multi-billion pound reduction in income for the BBC whilst damaging the rest of the public service broadcasting sector”, which relies on advertising.
BBC programming may also need to scale back to refocus on core public service programming under a significantly reduced budget, the report added.
The committee also dismissed a subscription service model similar to that of Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV+ because it would “generate insufficient income whilst introducing disproportionate barriers to access”.
It said the model would also undermine the BBC’s ability to deliver its services across the UK and come with various technical challenges.
Additionally, the report said the BBC faces “major challenges” in the coming years, which will be characterised by “rising competition and costs, and constrained funding”.
It will also have to compete with “vastly better-funded international streaming giants” while answering questions about its value in a media landscape in which consumers have more and more choice.
It comes after Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries announced in January that the licence fee will be frozen at £159 for the next two years until April 2024.
The minister said she wants to find a new funding model before the current deal expires in 2027 as it is “completely outdated”.
She also announced a review of the BBC’s funding model, which she later said was due to begin before the Commons summer recess on July 22, although this has been thrown into doubt following the resignation of Boris Johnson as Tory leader.
In the report, the committee said it is “concerned” about the lack of a specific plan regarding the upcoming review and warned the Government risked “undermining the legitimacy of any changes it may propose”.
Chairwoman of the committee, Baroness Stowell of Beeston, said: “The greatest threat to the BBC’s future isn’t a battle amongst politicians about the licence fee – though decisions about how it is funded are important to get right and becoming increasingly urgent.
“The real danger is if the BBC doesn’t seize this opportunity to reform and demonstrate why it’s of value to audiences in this new world of endless choice.
“That’s why the committee concluded that, when it comes to what the BBC does, the status quo is not an option.
“There will be choices for the Government and Parliament to make when it comes to funding mechanisms.
“But these decisions must be informed by a bold vision of what the BBC exists for and what it will deliver.
“So first, we are calling on the BBC to define its role more clearly and respond confidently with a plan that is positively ambitious about what and how it will change to serve the public interest in this fast-changing world.”
A BBC spokesperson said: “We welcome the Lord’s report. We agree we need to keep reforming which is what we have been doing at pace.
“Clearly the BBC needs to keep relevant and we welcome the report’s finding that a market failure BBC wouldn’t be a good outcome.
“Beyond that, we are open minded about the future and it is right there is a debate on whether the licence fee needs to evolve and if so, what comes next.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/07/18/universal-household-levy-offers-viable-alternative-to-bbc-licence-fee--report/ | 2022-07-17T23:22:37Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/07/18/universal-household-levy-offers-viable-alternative-to-bbc-licence-fee--report/ | false | 12 |
EDGEWATER, Colo. (KDVR) – A delivery driver was simply trying to do his job on Sunday when a 43-year-old man allegedly decided to carjack the van that the Amazon employee was working out of.
The Edgewater Police Department revealed that at roughly 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, a man believed to be a resident in Denver threatened an Amazon delivery driver who was working along the 1800 block of Depew Street.
The suspect in question threatened to shoot the Amazon driver before taking control of his delivery vehicle. The suspect then drove a quarter of a mile from the scene with the Amazon worker still in the van. At that point, the suspect reportedly let the delivery driver out of the vehicle.
According to Edgewater PD, he continued driving the stolen van before crashing it into three cars at the intersection of West 26th Avenue and Depew Street. The alleged carjacker then fled on foot but was quickly located and taken into custody.
The identity of the suspect is still not known at this time but FOX31 will bring you those details as soon as they are released. If you witnessed this crime, or have any information that could help in the ongoing case, please contact investigators with the Edgewater Police department. | https://kdvr.com/news/local/amazon-delivery-driver-carjacked-in-edgewater/ | 2022-07-17T23:28:40Z | https://kdvr.com/news/local/amazon-delivery-driver-carjacked-in-edgewater/ | false | 2 |
Napoli offer Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga a way out of his Premier League hell as they enquire about taking the Spaniard on loan, with the 27-year-old wanting first-team football after losing his starting place at the Blues
- Napoli have enquired about taking Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa on loan for the year
- The Spaniard is in the need for first team football after losing place at Chelsea
- He joined for a world record £71.6million but has struggled during his stay
- Napoli have also signed Leo Ostigard from Brighton as they look to improve
Napoli have asked about taking Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan.
Chelsea signed the now-27-year-old back in 2018 for a world record fee of £71.6million, but he has found first-team opportunities limited in recent times.
Kepa became the most expensive goalkeeper of all time in the deal but has had a mixed time at Stamford Bridge, with the former Athletico Bilbao stopper enjoying a run of games before regular errors forced the Blues to go back into the market for another goalkeeper.
Napoli have offered Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa a route out of his Stamford Bridge hell
The 27-year-old missed the decisive penalty kick in last year's Carabao Cup final defeat
Edouard Mendy arrived from Rennes and has held the number one spot ever since, with Kepa having to settle for the bench, cup appearances and a few of league games per season.
The Spaniard is perhaps best known for refusing to be substituted in the 2019 Carabao Cup final when then-manager Maurizio Sarri wanted to swap his goalkeeper for a penalty shootout.
Chelsea went to lose 4-3 on penalties to winners Manchester City.
Kepa refused to be substituted in the 2019 Carabao Cup final before Chelsea lost on penalties
The Spaniard has been on Chelsea's pre-season tour of America and played in their first game
Kepa was subbed on himself in last year's final purely for penalties, replacing Mendy, but failed to save a single one before missing the deciding spot kick against Liverpool.
But now, reaching the twilight years of his career, Kepa needs first-team football, and Napoli may be able to offer just that.
Luciano Spalletti's are looking to close the gap to AC Milan in Serie A after coming third last season, missing a golden opportunity to pick up a title with regular winners Juventus off the ball.
They missed out by seven points, and have added Brighton defender Leo Ostigard to their ranks in an attempt to help improve their fortunes. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11022991/Napoli-offer-Chelsea-goalkeeper-Kepa-Arrizabalaga-way-Premier-League-hell.html | 2022-07-17T23:38:52Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11022991/Napoli-offer-Chelsea-goalkeeper-Kepa-Arrizabalaga-way-Premier-League-hell.html | true | 3 |

(The Hill) — The Biden administration is under pressure to stream more offensive and defensive rocket systems into Ukraine as the former Soviet country faces a critical tipping point on the battlefield with Russia.
As Ukrainian forces battle with Kremlin troops for control of the eastern Donbas region and seek to end the war this year — a goal that requires more air and missile defenses, early warning systems, ammunition and other equipment — defense officials and experts alike say a faster influx of such lethal aid can more quickly bring a close to the conflict.
The extent to whether that is realistic, however, is up for debate.
The U.S. and its European allies and partners, have attempted to keep pace with Ukraine’s pleas for more weapons, with the former alone giving $7.3 billion in lethal aid to Kyiv as of this week.
The most recent $400 million package, announced last week, includes four of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS. The truck-mounted systems can fire multiple armaments that are satellite-guided, allowing the Ukrainians to more precisely hit targets at a range of more than 40 miles — further than any artillery system previously given to the Ukrainians.
HIMARS — 12 of which have now been pledged to Ukraine since last month — have given its forces a boost in its fighting, which for the last few months has centered on a battle for control of its easternmost region that has ground to a stalemate with Russia making small advances.
But the rocket systems have helped with the stall, with the country’s defense minister tweeting this past weekend that the deployment of HIMARS has “already made a HUUUGE difference on the battlefield.”
“More of them as well as [American] ammo & equipment will increase our strength and help to demilitarize the terrorist state,” he added.
The Ukrainians have used the system to hit some 20 Russian ammunition depot targets since acquiring the systems in the last few weeks, according to media reports, making it apparent the equipment is working effectively in the battle.
Though four of the launchers are currently being used by U.S.-trained Ukrainian troops — with four additional expected to make it to the country this month — it’s still far less than the up to 300 multiple-rocket launchers Ukrainian officials say they need to beat back the Kremlin.
What’s more, Russian forces have the ability to fire rounds several times over what Ukraine’s forces can manage, keeping the war in a state of attrition in the country’s industrial heartland of Donbas.
The Biden administration, however, has held off on sending large quantities of offensive and defensive rocket systems along with other high-tech equipment, wary that the systems may be too complicated for Ukrainian forces to learn to operate and maintain on the fly, according to Mark Cancian, a former Pentagon official now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Typical courses to teach how to operate such systems usually take months but have been squeezed down to three weeks for the Ukrainians, a very abbreviated timeline.
“I think the administration in fact, I know that they don’t want to send equipment over before the Ukrainians are ready to maintain and operate,” he told The Hill.
That theory has since been partly debunked after a senior U.S. defense official told reporters last week that the Pentagon found it “impressive” how fast Ukrainians have learned how to operate and deploy the HIMARS.
Another holdup, Cancian noted, is the fear that if equipment goes over too quickly it can’t be maintained.
“I think also the administration is concerned that at some point … someone’s going take a picture of a field full of junked equipment that the Ukrainians couldn’t maintain anymore,” he said. “I think that is what’s causing the administration to pace what it provides out.”
Even with Western commitments, Ukrainians still don’t have enough weapons to end the war anytime soon against the Russians, who could still dip into their reserves to cut through the stalemate in the Donbas, according to former Supreme NATO Commander retired Gen. Wesley Clark.
“With Russian reserves being formed up, some 20 to 40 battalion groups have been held back, there could be a strategic breakthrough,” Clark said on CNN last week. “That breakthrough . . . could be the key to getting the Ukrainian army defeated in Donbas.”
And the Kremlin has time on its side, the Finnish ambassador said earlier this week, predicting that Russia could fight for “a very long time,” as U.S.-led sanctions on Moscow because of the attack probably won’t weaken its forces for up to a year.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also said in June that the alliance must be prepared for the war to drag on for “years,” adding that if more modern weapons are given to Kyiv and soon it would up its chances of being able to push the Russians from the Donbas.
Stoltenberg’s assessment of a long war has since been backed up by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move Thursday to sign a law allowing his government to introduce special economic measures to support Moscow’s forces during “counter-terrorism and other operations.”
What’s also concerning, after nearly five months of war cracks have begun to show among the U.S., and its European and global partners as countries become affected by domestic pressures and crises, including runaway inflation and energy prices, fears of a recession and political pressure.
A war of attrition in Ukraine could reach beyond the world’s capacity to keep the focus on providing support for Kyiv, regional watchers warn. | https://www.wbtw.com/news/washington-dc-news/biden-administration-under-pressure-to-up-ukraines-rocket-firepower/ | 2022-07-17T23:45:10Z | https://www.wbtw.com/news/washington-dc-news/biden-administration-under-pressure-to-up-ukraines-rocket-firepower/ | true | 11 |
It’s been a very intriguing 10 days for the Maple Leafs and their suddenly-under-fire front office.
It started with the draft and cap dumping Petr Mrazek to Chicago on Day 1. Since then, there’s been a trade for another struggling goaltender with a big contract and seven free-agent signings.
All told, here are the 14 significant roster changes they’ve made over this time frame.
Players out: Jack Campbell, Ilya Mikheyev, Ondrej Kase, Mrazek, Ilya Lyubushkin, Colin Blackwell
Players in: Matt Murray, Calle Jarnkrok, Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, Ilya Samsonov, Jordie Benn, Adam Gaudette, Victor Mete, Denis Malgin
There’s more coming. I can guarantee it.
Here’s where the Leafs lineup sits at this point, with one key RFA still in need of a contract after Pierre Engvall signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal on Sunday evening.
I’ve been a bit liberal including a lot of players on the NHL roster; not everyone here will have a seat when training camp ends in the fall.
That 23-man roster above is over the cap by about $2.3 million. The Leafs could get under by sending down one forward and both extra defencemen, dropping them to a league-minimum 20-player roster with only a sliver of cap space remaining.
Having that extra NHL-calibre depth is great, assuming everyone clears waivers. Where Jarnkrok’s $2.1 million cap hit and Engvall’s new contract complicate things, however, is what happens with Rasmus Sandin.
There’s an obvious stalemate happening there between the agent and the Leafs, one that may not get resolved for a while. As a result, Sandin’s contract is a bit tough to call but anywhere between $1 million and $2 million could make sense depending on the term they settle on.
Either way, signing Sandin would put the Leafs even more over the cap than what we’ve shown. It would also create a pretty big logjam on defence and leave some decent players on the outside looking in up front.
The most natural move would seem to be to send out a defenceman, especially with Benn and Mete now onboard in the No. 7 and No. 8 roles, where they’re solid veteran options. As I’ve stated in the past, I don’t believe Jake Muzzin is going anywhere. Neither are Morgan Rielly, Mark Giordano, T.J. Brodie or the recently re-signed Timothy Liljegren, for various reasons.
So Justin Holl or Sandin?
Dealing Sandin makes me nervous, given his age, upside and the fact you may not get a ton back in return. Maybe there’s a bit of a rift developing there, as can happen during RFA talks, but surely it can be reasoned through and settled with increased opportunity next season.
That said, he’s a left shot, and the Leafs are suddenly very well-stocked on the left side. Finding him minutes may not be easy.
Dealing Holl subtracts from an already thin right side and, again, there’s probably not a big return coming. But he has been on the block for a while and is entering the final year of his contract. And, at $2 million, he makes a lot for someone who would have to sit at times to accommodate all of the Leafs blueliners.
Neither option feels ideal.
The only other cap casualty I can potentially see is Alex Kerfoot, who also has one year left on his contract before becoming a UFA. There’s a heated debate about dumping him on Leafs Twitter these days – yes, even in mid-July – and using some of his $3.5 million salary to sign one or two of the straggler free agents out there.
The Leafs could also use some of that money to ensure they have enough for Sandin, as well as an extra player or two and some cap breathing room entering the season to make more moves.
If the Leafs move one of their defencemen, there’s not really any cap space left to add anything significant in free agency, as neither Holl nor Sandin will break the bank. You would need to use their cap hits to simply carry an extra defenceman and fill out the roster, if they’re traded.
If you move Kerfoot, however, you keep seven pretty good NHL defencemen and gain another $2 million or so to spend. But you’re down a veteran player who had 51 points last season and can play throughout the lineup. If you’re moving him to make another play in free agency, you need to hit on that signing.
In terms of players the Leafs could look to sign, it’s a pretty eclectic list. There’s a 36-year-old veteran centre in Paul Stastny. Or younger, skilled winger types like Sonny Milano, Danton Heinen or Evan Rodrigues, the latter of whom the Leafs have shown interest in the past.
Or how about Tyler Motte, Ryan Donato, Jonathan Dahlen, Victor Rask or Johan Larsson? Sam Gagner? Sam Steel? Sam Wich?
Food for thought.
Most of these players come with question marks. And few are going to be able to play wing and centre on as many different lines, and on both special teams, the way Kerfoot has.
But it’s clear looking at the Leafs’ cap situation that something now has to give. Whether their next move comes this week or closer to training camp, it is coming.
The question for Dubas is just how bold does he want to be in making one more impact decision? Do you subtract an extra part or someone who was closer to being part of the core the past few years? And do you roll the dice on yet another free-agent bargain buy, as the market settles and you can find more wins?
However it plays out, it’s going to mean more change. Suddenly what felt like it was going to be a pretty stand-pat offseason could instead involve the roster getting an eighth new face joining the lineup.
Or perhaps even more.

ROCKFORD (WREX) — Most of the Stateline has seen a quiet and dry day other than a few isolated sprinkles this afternoon. We dry out tonight and see summer return for the week ahead.
Tonight into tomorrow:
Skies remained mostly cloudy today however the sun did pop out from time to time today which allowed for some warming. Temperatures this afternoon warmed into the upper 70's to low 80's across the area.
Scattered showers are now moving out of the area but there could be a stray shower lingering into the evening. We dry out and see gradual clearing into the overnight hours. Overall, expect a fantastic sunset tonight. Temperatures tonight drop back into the low to mid 60's with mostly clear skies. As clouds clear and mixing is involved we could see some patchy fog late tonight into tomorrow morning.
Summer returns:
We see a break in the pattern as a high pressure system moves in and gives us some dry and warm conditions for the next few days.
Monday the high pressure settles into the area allowing for temperatures to warm back into the upper 80's with sunny skies and light northwesterly breezes. As that high pressure shifts to the southeast we see a more southerly wind which will bring even warmer temperatures and hotter dew points.
Tuesday expect similar conditions to Monday except slightly warmer. Temperatures will get to the upper 80's to low 90's with dew points close to 70 degrees. Bringing back some sticky icky humidity with an already hot day.
Looking ahead:
A southerly breeze picks up into the afternoon giving some relief but not much. A cold front moves across the Plains and into the Midwest by Wednesday morning, if storms are able to develop expect some strong to severe winds and downpours into the early morning hours of Wednesday.
After the cold front passes we see temperatures return to average with mostly sunny skies. The end of the week could transition to a more active pattern with chances for showers and thunderstorms into the weekend. | https://www.wrex.com/news/top-stories/cloudy-skies-exit-the-area-making-way-for-summer-like-conditions-to-return/article_202499f2-0621-11ed-9ce1-eb9f4499ca74.html | 2022-07-17T23:48:37Z | https://www.wrex.com/news/top-stories/cloudy-skies-exit-the-area-making-way-for-summer-like-conditions-to-return/article_202499f2-0621-11ed-9ce1-eb9f4499ca74.html | false | 1 |

Philip Native, Alfred Henry Baye is celebrating his 100th birthday with friends and family in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 6, 2022. This is a celebration of 100 years lived and remembered.
Alfred, the son of Helena and Sylvan Baye, was born in Philip, South Dakota on September 1, 1922. He was their fifth child and brother to Francis, Edmund, Rosalie, Catherine, and Joseph. He lived on his parent’s homestead in Haakan County and later attended Philip High School where he fell in love with Ida Eileen McDaniel. His children delight in the picture of him picking Mom up for a date in a model T.
In December 1940 Al enlisted in the U.S. Army and was assigned duties at the Post Quartermaster Attachment. In November 1941 he was transferred as part of a cadre to open and furnish a newly built Camp Crowder in Missouri. On April 10, 1942, Eileen joined him, and they were married in Neosho, Missouri. They were separated for the first time in June 1943 when Al was transferred to Sullivan Island, South Carolina to form an amphibius truck (DUCK) company with a destination to Guadalcanal, South Pacific. Eileen returned to Philip, South Dakota and gave birth to Patricia in the Fall of 1943.
After one mission to the north island Bougainville in Guadalcanal it was decided that DUCKs were not suitable for landing on coral islands and the company was deactivated. Al was reassigned to the 336 2M Depot Company, Guadalcanal, which was the major supply depot for the Army, Marines and Navy for rations, food, and most other necessary items not including ammunition. After the war he returned to Ft. Leavenworth where he reenlisted and was assigned to Camp Crowder to assist in the deactivation of the camp. He was joined by Eileen and Pat but after 6 months they all pulled up stakes and were off to Fort Lee, Virginia. Their second child Charles Lee was born here. The middle name Lee, after the Fort, was a firm indication that this was going to be a military family.
His big break came when he was transferred to Sandia Base, Albuquerque. At that time Albuquerque was more a large town than a city and the wind and the tumble weed were part of its charm. It was here that he was assigned to B Company 38 Engineer Battalion. He was a member of the team that tested, assembled, and detonated nuclear devices on Eniwetok Atoll. This was a test to confirm the competence of the military to assemble, test and maintain nuclear weapons. He was promoted to Warrant Officer Junior Grade as a specialist in the nuclear field. He remained in this field of Special Weapons for the remainder of his military career. On the home front his military family was growing, and David and Kathleen were added to the troop.
Alfred went on to serve at Kileen Base, Texas; Sandia Base (a second time); Seneca Depot in upstate New York; Pirmasens, Germany (where Teresa was born); Joliet Arsenal, Illinois; South Korea (a 13-month hardship tour without family); Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; Army Magazine, Guam; and then blessedly returning to Sandia Base in Albuquerque where he and Eileen eventually retired, at least from the military.
During that 30-year Army career he was awarded the Legion of Merit and Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, American Defense Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Good Conduct Medal. He retired as a Chief Warrant Officer 4.
The list of assignments does not begin to tell the whole story. He served during WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam War. He served in Germany when the Berlin Wall went up during the Cold War. He served in Alabama during the tension of the Civil Rights movement. He didn’t just witness history, he participated in it. If you asked him what he was most proud of, he would say “That I served”.
As a second career he worked for GTE (now known as Verizon) as a Senior Engineer. When he retired the second time he volunteered in numerous military organizations. Eileen died in 2005. Al married Doris Pearson, also a South Dakota gal, in 2007. She died in 2008.
At 100 he is healthy, active, and living in Albuquerque. He enjoys hearing from friends and family and has many fond memories of Philip. | http://www.pioneer-review.com/pioneer-review/call | 2022-07-18T00:08:49Z | http://www.pioneer-review.com/pioneer-review/call | false | 2 |
Are Spalding or Goalrilla basketball hoops best?
For aspiring athletes or basketball enthusiasts, getting a hoop installed at home is a great way to work on your shot or play with your friends whenever you want to. There are several types of basketball hoops available on the market and multiple different brands selling them. Two of the most popular brands are Spalding and Goalrilla. Both Spalding and Goalrilla sell multiple basketball hoop options at a number of price points.
Spalding offers far more versatility in the options it sells and comes with the pro-style rims while Goalrilla basketball hoops have higher quality backboards and strong, durable poles.
Spalding basketball hoop
Spalding basketball hoops are built with durable materials and are available in both portable and in-ground options. The hoops come at affordable prices and have a wide range of height adjustment options.
Spalding basketball hoop pros
What Spalding offers that Goalrilla does not is versatility. The company has a wide range of different basketball hoops designed for portability as well as in-ground installation. If you have a more spacious backyard, a built-in hoop will offer more stability. If you are playing basketball in a driveway or smaller space, having a portable hoop will be easier to roll away if necessary.
The hoops also come with different backboard materials including glass, acrylic and polycarbonate to best fit your personal preferences and needs.
With the large number of options from Spalding also comes a wide variety of price points as well. So, if you are shopping for a basketball hoop on a budget, Spalding has several hoops that will be more affordable.
All Spalding products come with a height adjustment feature that allows you to play while on a shorter hoop. Most hoops have an adjustment range between 7.5-10 feet. Some options even come at 6-inch increments providing you with five different height options in comparison to the three that Goalrilla has on most of their models.
Spalding basketball hoop cons
While Spalding basketball hoops offer versatility, they lack long-term quality. The company does make durable products, but in comparison to Goalrilla, lacks the same longevity. This is especially true for its portable hoops where the bottom base can crack and leak out the water or sand that is holding them down.
Furthermore, Spalding poles are thinner than Goalrilla counterparts. The thinner poles may also be more susceptible to damage from heavy impacts or strong winds. While Spalding poles still offer significant durability, Goalrilla’s additional thickness provides more strength and more resistance to the elements.
Best Spalding basketball hoops
The best in-ground Spalding hoop is the Spalding U-Turn In-Ground Basketball Hoop. The hoop comes with a tempered glass backboard and a pro-style breakaway rim that can handle dunks and light hanging.
A great portable option from the company is the Spalding 52″ Performance Acrylic Pro Glide Advanced Portable Basketball Hoop. This product is sold at an affordable price and comes with a rebounder on the base that makes it easier to get the basketball back after taking a shot.
Goalrilla basketball hoop
Goalrilla basketball hoops have pro-level quality and durable in-ground products. These hoops are designed both for casual play and for athletic training with the company also selling several attachments meant to improve practicing.
Goalrilla basketball hoop pros
The largest advantage that Goalrilla basketball hoops have over competitors is the durability and overall quality. Goalrilla hoops are built with tempered glass backboards and have a reinforced alloy steel frame. The materials provide a consistent feedback from the ball and are more durable than acrylic or polycarbonate backboards.
Goalrilla products also offer incredibly high levels of durability in its construction. With a pole that is about one inch thicker than similar Spalding hoops and an additional powder coating, the company offers resistance to weather and rust.
All Goalrilla hoops come with a breakaway rim that stands up to aggressive weight and dunking that will allow you to hang on it without any damage or bending.
The largest advantage the company has over other Spalding hoops is the additional attachments. Goalrilla offers attachable hoop lights and rebound netting which can help you keep playing at night or in smaller yards. The company also sells pole padding to prevent any injuries.
Goalrilla basketball hoop cons
The largest downside to Goalrilla is the lack of versatility. While Spalding offers several types of basketball hoops including a number of portable options. Goalrilla only sells in-ground hoops which are a much larger commitment. If you live in a smaller home or an apartment, there may not be room to install an in-ground hoop in a backyard or outdoor space.
Another major detractor from Goalrilla is the price. All options from the company cost more than $1,000. If you are looking for a basketball hoop while on a budget, this might put products from the company out of your price range.
Best Goalrilla basketball hoops
The highest quality Goalrilla hoop is the Goalrilla FT72 Basketball Hoop. This hoop comes with a 72-inch backboard and structurally reinforced poles. The hoop also has an adjustable height feature that goes between 7.5-10 feet.
Another option from the company is the Goalrilla GS54 In Ground Basketball Hoop. This hoop comes with a lifetime warranty so you will be able to replace it if there is any major damage sustained.
Should you get a Spalding or Goalrilla basketball hoop?
Spalding and Goalrilla both offer high quality basketball hoops with durable materials that will stand the test of time.
If you are looking for a pro-level hoop, with the option for attachments that improve training quality and a lifetime warranty, Goalrilla has multiple options worth buying. However if you are looking for a more affordable or portable option, Spalding has a wider selection of hoops to choose from.
The bottom line is that for most shoppers, the wider selection of products, more affordable prices and brand recognition make Spalding the right choice.
