Porsche has revealed its redesigned 911 GT3 R race car based on the latest 992 generation of the 911.
It's priced from $567,210 and can be delivered in time for the 2023 season. Events you'll typically see it in include North America's IMSA series, as well as the global Intercontinental GT Challenge, and endurance races like those held at the Nürburgring.
The 911 GT3 R is designed for GT3 competition and represents the middle tier of 911 customer race cars, sandwiched between the 911 GT3 Cup and 911 RSR. Crucially, the GT3 R is the 911 racer most closely aligned with the 911 GT3 RS road car, whose 992 generation is set for a debut on August 17 and will feature some of the design traits seen on the race car.
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R race car
Key traits include the flared wheel arches, vented hood, chunky side skirts, massive rear wing, and equally massive rear diffuser. The car also rides on center-lock wheels wrapped in Michelin racing slicks. The body is mostly steel and aluminum while almost all of the panels attached to the body are made of carbon fiber. The wheel arches are made of aramid fibers, however.
According to Sebastian Golz, project manager for the GT3 R program, the main aim wasn't to make the car faster than its predecessor, as any advantage is erased via Balance of Performance rules. Instead, the engineers focused on improving durability, essentially making the car capable of driving fast for longer.
Key to this was developing a new 4.2-liter flat-6 with a broader usable rev band than the predecessor's 4.0-liter engine. Other measures included more stable and consistent aerodynamic performance, and lower loads on the rear tires.
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R race car
The new engine delivers 565 hp, up 15 hp on the engine it replaces. In addition to the bigger displacement, the engine also benefits from torque and power curves that deliver improved performance across the rev range. Drive is to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential transmission with paddle shifters.
The engine still sits at the rear, behind the rear axle, but it has been tilted forward by 5.5 degrees compared to the engine in the outgoing car, creating more space for the underbody diffuser. The engine's auxiliary components such as the alternator and air conditioning compressor have also been moved further forward and lower in the car to improve weight balance.
Porsche will present the new 911 GT3 R to the public for the first time at the 2022 24 Hours of Spa on this weekend at the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack in Belgium. The first race will be the 2023 24 Hours of Daytona next January. | https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1128208_2023-porsche-911-gt3-r-race-car-revealed | 2022-07-29T23:14:03Z | https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1128208_2023-porsche-911-gt3-r-race-car-revealed | false | 1 |

Seventy students from Somercotes Academy showcased their musicality and performing arts’ talents as they brought the academic year almost to a close with a spectacular Summer Showcase.
On one of the hottest days of the year, the students performed the two-act showcase in the school hall, to a huge audience of parents, friends, family and carers.
The audience cheered on the acts as they refused to wilt in the heat, and for an hour and a half they maintained their energy to rattle off performance after performance, with barely a breath in-between.
Ant and Dec-style presenters, Elliott Hanley and Jack Clark, kept the show moving as they introduced the acts, interspersed with admittedly ‘bad’ jokes, that had the audience chuckling along.
From instrumental solos to angelic voices and audience-rousing dance performances, there was something for everyone in this show, and the delight and appreciation on the faces of the audience members said it all. Everyone loves to see their children up on the stage having the time of their lives and showcasing what they have learned.
Involvement in the Arts enriches lives, and more students than ever before are now involved in music tuition, and Dance and Music Clubs at the Academy.
Ellen Barlow, Curriculum Leader For Music and Performing Arts, who organised the showcase with the help of teaching staff, said the students had worked so hard to put the showcase together and had made her “very proud.” | https://www.lincolnshireworld.com/news/people/talented-somercotes-students-spectacular-summer-showcase-3783414 | 2022-07-29T23:20:34Z | https://www.lincolnshireworld.com/news/people/talented-somercotes-students-spectacular-summer-showcase-3783414 | true | 1 |
‘Stranger Things’ 4 Volume 2: Eddie Munson Uses a Custom NJ Warlock Guitar for His Metallica Solo
Stranger Things has had some epic music montages throughout its seasons. But fans agree that Eddie Munson’s Metallica guitar solo in the Upside Down takes the cake and will go down in TV history. Fans highly anticipated the scene, and it did not disappoint. Eddie shreds on a unique guitar in Stranger Things 4 Volume 2.
[WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things 4 Volume 2. ]
The metalhead uses ‘Master of Puppets’ to help distract Demobats in ‘Stranger Things’ 4
It has been a week since learning the truth of Eddie’s ending storyline in the fourth season, and fans are still not over it. The newly introduced character quickly became a favorite as a bad boy with a good heart. Many agree that Eddie was misunderstood for loving metal music and D&D when the Satanic Panic craze took over America.
As Eddie is accused of murder in Hawkins, he joins the Stranger Things characters on a grand quest to stop Vecna in the Upside Down. In Volume 2, Dustin and Eddie agree to be the decoys as Eddie says, “Look at us. We are not heroes.”
But Eddie would soon have the ultimate hero arc when he shreds to Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” to lure the Demobats away from Creel House. The scene was epic. Not only did Eddie dedicate the solo to Chrissy, but he gained praise from the real-life metal band.
Fans were happy to finally see Eddie’s grand guitar skills as he is in a band called Corroded Coffin. But fans will be interested to know the guitar Eddie uses in Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 was custom-made for the series.

RELATED: ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4: Eddie Munson’s DIO Jean Jacket Is the Real Deal
The first time fans see one of Eddie’s most prized possessions is in the fourth season’s first episode. After the grand basketball game and the D&D chapter, he takes Chrissy back to his trailer to sell her Special K. While looking for the drug, he enters his bedroom and says, “Sorry I’m late, sweetheart.”
He happens to be talking to his electric guitar and gives it a small smooch. Seeing as the Upside Down is an almost exact replica of Hawkins, Eddie finds his guitar exactly where it should be when it’s time to enact their distraction plan. But fans might notice Eddie’s guitar in Stranger Things 4 is unique.
The electric guitar was custom-made for the Netflix series. According to B.C. Rich Guitars’s official Instagram, “Eddie’s guitar is a 24 fret, supercharged NJ Warlock with B.C. Rich Pickups, Floyd Rose Tremolo and jumbo frets – guaranteed to slay any Demogorgon. YOU CAN EVEN PLAY IT UPSIDE DOWN….”
Eddie’s guitar perfectly represents the series with a dark blood red base and black cracked overlay. B.C. RIch Guitars made two limited-edition guitars available for purchase. One is a replica from the series, and the other is the same body but in a glossy black finish. The guitar is also embedded with a Stranger Things plaque.
Where can fans buy Eddie Munson’s guitar?
RELATED: ‘Stranger Things’ 4 Volume 2: Eddie’s ‘Don’t Ya, Big Boy’ and Other Memorable Lines Were Improvised
Eddie’s guitar is a thing of beauty, even for nonmusicians. Buying the custom instrument may be a bit tricky. Guitar Center currently has both versions of the guitar available for pre-order. Both guitars are priced at $4,699.99. Fans can reserve their purchase until the official release date.
The site has customized the details of Eddie’s guitar to fit the aesthetic of Stranger Things 4. The descriptions include “Mighty Enough to Fight the Demogorgon,” “Built for Psychokinetic Speed,” and “Advanced Weaponry to Defeat the Mind Flayer.”
Eddie Munson fans will appreciate the slight nod to the D&D club and character. The site details, “It even comes with a custom hardshell “Hellfire Club” case included—a nod to the Hawkins High School Dungeons & Dragons club portrayed in Stranger Things.” What lucky fan will get to shred to Metallica with the same guitar Eddie used in the series?

Marvel has introduced a new group of superheroes consisting of seven Koreans. It announced on Thursday that ‘Tiger Division,’ a five-issue limited comic series will be released in November.
Marvel introduced its plan for Tiger Division at San Diego Comic-Con on July 22, which was held in San Diego, California for four days from July 21. San Diego Comic-Con International is a comic book convention that introduces news about comic-related books, characters, and movies with various events. Marvel released the cover of Tiger Division on its site and Twitter afterwards.
The seven Korean superheroes are: Taegeukgi, the powerful patriot with a heart of gold; White Fox, a character based on the nine-tailed fox legend; K-pop star Luna Snow; mysterious sorceress Lady Bright; street-brawling demigod Mr. Enigma; living totem The General; and android Gun-R II.
Taegeukgi’s changed appearance got people’s attention. When Tiger Division was first announced in February last year through a Taskmaster series, Marvel Comics’ super villain, the character wore a white outfit with the Korean national flag at the center. But now, he is wearing a more sophisticated outfit using various colors such as black, blue, and red, with the Korean flag at the center.
Emily Kim, who created the Korean-American spider hero ‘Silk,’ will lead the story of the defenders of Korea. Chris Lee who was in charge of Marvel Voice's: Identity, another Asian-American hero series, will be leading the drawing for the Korean squad. “I’m so excited to be launching Tiger Division’s first limited series. I never thought I’d get a chance to write for an all-Korean group,” Kim said. “Hopefully it’s not the last, and there will be many more Tiger Division stories to come.”

Zachary Kirkland looked with admiration at the banquet hall full of people dancing in 50s style poodle skirts, black leather jackets and saddle shoes who showed up to support the fifth anniversary of the Silly Socks Saturday fundraiser on July 24.
Kirkland, 19, founded the organization, now a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit that donates hundreds of gift bags stuffed with colorful socks and other gifts to children in hospitals.
The project started when he was an eight-grade student at Bok Academy in Keri Richards’ class. She had given her class a project – to launch an activity that would give back to the community.
“The idea was what kids could do to give back to the community and what kids are able to do for the people around them,” he said.
“At the time, I had different family members and friends who were in and out of the hospital, and the one way they would always try to alleviate the situation they were in is that they would make jokes about the long blue sock that you would get in the hospital,” he said.
“I wanted to give back to people my age at that time – kids in the hospital – and see how I could make their stay at the hospital easier and better. I took my idea and kind of ran with it.”
At first, he launched three consecutive bowling fundraisers.
“This is my second Sock Hop,” he said. “This has been a much better event for us in terms of getting the community together and having a great time.”
Besides seeing the community rally behind the cause, he notes the other beneficial takeaways for him, personally.
“I also get to see the people that I support coming back to support other people as well,” he said.
“So, the fundraisers are amazing at being able to show what I am able to put into the community and what the community has been able to put back into what I do.”
Kirkland heads back this fall to his second year at the University of Central Florida, where he is working toward a degree in computer science.
He was pleased that he was able to keep the nonprofit going with the help of his sponsors throughout his first year of college.
“I am able to see the gratification and hear the stories from the nurses and from the families of the impact that I am able to make for them. I mean, if you are rushed to the hospital, you are not packing things, you are not planning on going to the hospital,” he said.
COVID-19 has caused many of the children’s playrooms at medical facilities to be off limits.
“This gives an individual bag to a kid. They don’t have to worry about cleaning and other kids being part of it, it’s for that kid and it’s theirs. It has been one huge thing in these times that the hospitals came back and said they are so grateful for that,” he said.
Dale Bowles, whose wife, Brenda, was on the other side of the banquet hall, said his grandson was a recipient of one of the colorful bags when he was admitted to the hospital for surgery.
“It lit him up,” he said. “This is what it means to us. When they brought that in – it meant a lot to him,” he said.
The three-hour fundraiser was at Venue 650, at 650 6th Street SW Winter Haven. The event was sponsored by numerous area businesses and the Rotary on the Ridge service club. Silly Socks donates about 60 bags a month to local hospitals, usually on the second Saturday of each month.

GTU intern, Krystal Gates, came on set to talk about inclusive fashion. With her own festive flair and retro twist on things, Gates shared her favorite picks for any season, where to find and the importance of size inclusivity. Throughout her searches in finding eclectic and eccentric clothing, she has found thrift shops to be a safe place and encourages viewers to frequent them to find these hidden gems for an affordable price. Gates acquired her love of thrifting from her mother, an expert thrifter.
Today, the average American woman wears a size 14 or 16 however she is unable to find clothes that cater for her. Gates recommends using your voice to speak up and holding brands accountable to have options for every body type and size. “Voice your opinion. That’s how the change happens.” said Gates. “Even if you can find clothes everywhere, [holding brands accountable] is a great way to be an ally to somebody who is unable to find clothes elsewhere.”
Everyone deserves to feel good! Clothes are meant to fit the wearer, not the other way around. Back in the day, it was hard to find clothes and most brands didn’t cater to anyone over a size 12. There were really only two major stores that sold only plus sizes and they were expensive and some of them were not made with young people in mind. Gates has been involved in vintage inspired fashion for seven years and cites icons like Lucille Ball, Lizzo, Cher and Selena Quintanilla as her inspiration. She is excited to see how mainstream brands will be more inclusive in the future. | https://www.abc4.com/gtu/size-inclusive-fashion/ | 2022-07-29T23:49:50Z | https://www.abc4.com/gtu/size-inclusive-fashion/ | true | 1 |
Ted Lasso stars have teased the show's possible future beyond season three.
Despite suggestions that the next season could be the last, the cast said at the FYC event in Beverly Hills that they would be happy to continue the show if possible (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent, said everything was in developer Jason Sudeikis' hands: "[Jason] is our captain, and in terms of the future, everything is in his hands. He's gotten us this far; you know what I mean?
"We just trust whatever he decides to do will be the right thing to do. I know we would all love to do this forever, but I guess at some point, we will all die."

Phil Dunster, who plays footballer Jamie Tartt, described his feelings in an interesting way: "You know when you're at a really nice party, and you're like, if it ends, you can leave and know that it was a really wonderful party? There was a great bar; I had great chats with people, I danced like an idiot and you know, I was so happy to be there."
"Nobody knows anything about season four and Apple has not told us not to say anything but if it happens, I will be very happy to go to the next part." he added.
And Toheeb Jimoh, who stars as right-winger Sam Obisanya, even hinted at his character opening a restaurant before quickly finishing by saying he didn't want to say much more.

While Goldstein had confirmed that the show would end in three seasons, Brendan Hunt believed that the show could continue.
In June 2022, Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, told Consequence that another arc is possible, saying: "We've certainly expanded those beats, but it does not mean that the whole kit and caboodle is getting chucked."
However, he said it would only happen if the team chose to do so. | https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40757920/ted-lasso-future-season-3/ | 2022-07-29T23:51:46Z | https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40757920/ted-lasso-future-season-3/ | false | 1 |

Backstage with The Arcada Theatre's Ron Onesti: Doo-wop, Dion and Dem Days
I was recently watching one of those doo-wop shows on PBS. So many groups that began a cappella on street corners of New York and Philadelphia in the late '40s and early '50s. Most had four males with vocals ranging from the low baritones to the high tenors. The "hmmmms," "ooos" and "ahhhs" echoed through the streets into the wee hours of the mornings.
It began with predominantly Black groups including the Platters, Drifters, The Moonglows, Coasters and Ink Spots. Big songs that became timeless hits include: The Platters' "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," The Del-Vikings "Come Go With Me," and The Five Satins' "In The Still of the Night."
Soon almost every streetlamp lit groups of guys harmonizing. Remember, this was before "boomboxes," so vocals AND music were performed by these neighborhood heartthrobs.
One of my faves is Dion & The Belmonts. These guys from the Bronx had that doo-wop sound that defined the era for me. "I Wonder Why," "A Teenager In Love," "Where or When," and many others had teenagers up and "Strolling" in poodle skirts and slicked-back hair.
I had Dion DiMucci at my Oakley Avenue Italian Festival a few years ago. He did not really tour anymore but came here to Chicago as a favor. It was a fabulous night of retro-rock. The joy the audience experienced as they danced on the street asphalt and sang loudly as they relived their bobby-socked youth.
I timidly asked Dion about those days. He said they would skip school and be together until 3 a.m. every night. "It was all we did. Maybe a stickball game or two once in a while, but we mainly hung out and made up songs," Dion said.
I have a 17-year-old daughter. I think about the activities she and her friends do on a weekly basis, and the technology they use. I could not imagine she or any of her friends spending each day (and night) harmonizing and doo-wopping without texting and Instagramming!
By the time those guys made it to the Ed Sullivan Show or any other major live appearances, they graduated to suits and ties. Their musicless-harmonies became melodious four-piece bands with a lead singer. Think The Four Seasons. It was a time that coincided with the British Invasion of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Herman's Hermits and others. They all were in suits at the time, and made statements with their hairstyles.
But think of the timeliness of that music. It is still relevant, still popular and still utilized in commercials.
"16 Candles," "The Great Pretender," "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," the list goes on and on. I asked Dion if he ever thought when he was hanging with his buddies that his music would still be a "thing" 65 years later.
"Man, we were just trying to be cool. It was about getting 'chicks.' I didn't realize it was music until I began hearing some of the next generations of other music. It was then I realized how good the stuff from the '50s and '60s really was," Dion said.
I love my rock 'n' roll. I love the heavy guitars and the drum solos. But when I really want to be brought back to a meaningful time, and have warm, comforting thoughts, I always depend on my favorite doo-wop music. The last one always being, "Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight!"

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A man facing five charges for a May incident in Pembina County has been arrested twice this month for assaulting police officers in separate jails.
Authorities say Jeffrey Cofresi, 27, attacked and injured a Cass County deputy on Wednesday in the maximum security housing unit of the Cass County Jail. He is charged with felony aggravated assault of a peace officer.
The deputy was treated and released at a local hospital and has been placed on medical leave, according to the Cass County Sheriff's Office.
Cofresi had been transferred to Fargo following a July 13 assault in the Pembina County Jail, where he was being held on charges of burglary, theft, giving false information to law enforcement, refusal to halt and criminal mischief.
Cofresi does not have a permanent address. His public defender in Fargo could not be reached Friday evening. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/North-Dakota-inmate-attacks-officer-for-2nd-time-17339286.php | 2022-07-30T00:02:38Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/North-Dakota-inmate-attacks-officer-for-2nd-time-17339286.php | true | null |

Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday in the highest-level known contact between the two sides since Russia invaded Ukraine, with Blinken urging Russia to accept a deal to win the release of American detainees Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.
Russian officials gave no public hint whether Blinken had made any headway, only issuing a chiding statement afterward urging the U.S. to pursue the Americans’ freedom through “quiet diplomacy, without releases of speculative information.”
U.S. officials have in recent days publicized their efforts to get back Griner, a WNBA star, and Whelan, a corporate security executive, whose cases have drawn widespread national attention. While the direct outreach to Russian officials allows the Biden administration to show it is going all out to try to free the two U.S. citizens, it also risks undermining a core U.S. message to allies abroad: that isolating Russia diplomatically and economically will ultimately force Russia to pull its troops from Ukraine.
Blinken did not provide details of Lavrov’s response to what he had previously called a “substantial proposal” for Russia to release Whelan and Griner. Blinken had publicly requested the call and revealed the existence of the offer to Russia. People familiar with the offer say the U.S. wants to swap Whelan and Griner for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Blinken described the call as “a frank and direct conversation” centered primarily on the detained Americans.
“I urged Foreign Minister Lavrov to move forward with that proposal,” he said. “I can’t give you an assessment of whether that is any more or less likely.”
Blinken also said he had pressed Lavrov on the importance of Russia following through on an agreement to allow Ukrainian grain shipments to leave the Black Sea and warned him of consequences should Moscow move ahead with suspected plans to annex portions of eastern and southern Ukraine.
Blinken said he told Lavrov that the world will “never recognize” any annexation of Ukrainian territory, which he said would “result in significant additional costs for Russia.”
He declined to comment on how Lavrov replied to his messages. “I don’t want to characterize any of Foreign Minister Lavrov’s responses.”
In its statement afterward, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Lavrov “strongly suggested” to Blinken “returning to a professional dialogue in the mode of quiet diplomacy” on any efforts at American detainees’ release.
Lavrov also repeated Russia’s vows to keep fighting until it has achieved its aims in Ukraine, renewed complaints that U.S. and NATO support to Ukraine was prolonging the conflict, and accused the U.S. of not yet keeping up its end of agreements on the grain shipments from Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry said.
Blinken’s comments earlier this week marked the first time the U.S. government publicly revealed any concrete action it has taken to secure Griner’s release. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and player for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury was arrested at a Moscow airport in mid-February when inspectors found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
Griner’s arrest came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington ahead of Russia sending troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24. Griner’s five months of detention have raised strong criticism among teammates and supporters in the United States.
Her trial on drug charges started in a court outside Moscow this month, and she testified Wednesday that she didn’t know how the cartridges ended up in her bag but that she had a doctor’s recommendation to use cannabis to treat career-related pain.
The 31-year-old has pleaded guilty but said she had no criminal intent in bringing the cartridges to Russia and packed in haste for her return to play in a Russian basketball league during the WNBA’s offseason. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of transporting drugs.
The Biden administration has faced political pressure to free Griner and other Americans whom the U.S. has declared to be “wrongfully detained” — a designation sharply rejected by Russian officials.
Whelan, a corporate security executive from Michigan, was sentenced to 16 years in prison on espionage charges in 2020. He and his family have vigorously asserted his innocence. The U.S. government has denounced the charges as false.
Russia has for years expressed interest in the release of Bout, a Russian arms dealer once labeled the “Merchant of Death.” He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2012 on charges that he schemed to illegally sell millions of dollars in weapons.
Kremlin officials presumably reveled in the news that the U.S., which has rallied friendly countries around the world to cut even vital trade ties with Russia to pressure it to withdraw from Ukraine, was now seeking engagement with Russia on a problem of its own.
“They are going to drag this out and try to humiliate us as much as they can,” said Ian Kelly, a retired career diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Georgia in the Obama and Trump administrations. “I don’t think it goes along with (the administration’s) overall policy.”
Kelly said the request for a call is “counterproductive to our broader effort to isolate Russia.” | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/blinken-russian-top-diplomat-speak-about-griner-whelan/2842232/ | 2022-07-30T00:15:22Z | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/blinken-russian-top-diplomat-speak-about-griner-whelan/2842232/ | false | 44 |
OKLAHOMA (KFOR) – With an execution less than a month away, former co-chairs of the Death Penalty Review Commission, including former Governor Brad Henry, are calling on state officials to put a halt to upcoming executions until the system is reformed.
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has scheduled 25 executions to occur over the next 29 months.
The first execution is set for August 25, where James Coddington will be put to death for a murder he committed in 1997.
While 31 states have capital punishment laws, just four states—Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Florida—account for more than half of all executions administered since 1976.
Henry told KFOR he doesn’t think the state’s capital punishment is where it needs to be though.
“We [Death Penalty Review Commission] worked through every aspect of the death penalty process from the arrest to lethal injection,” said Henry. “We saw all kinds of inequities. We saw unfair tests. We saw problems that need to be addressed.”
In 2017, the Death Penalty Review Commission, an independent and bipartisan group, compiled a comprehensive report that is 300 pages long detailing flaws in the state’s death penalty process while also providing a solution.
46 reform recommendations reports the need for better training, better education and better procedures for police, prosecutors, judges and defense counsel in capital cases, and more.
Eyewitness identification has also come into question.
“Very, very powerful before a jury. But all of the experts tell us, all of the science tells us that eyewitness identification is one of the least reliable forms of evidence. And so, you know, there ought to be something to back up eyewitness identification before you commit someone to death,” Henry said.
Since 1989, 31% of wrongful convictions nationwide—in capital and non-capital cases—involved mistaken eyewitness testimony, according to the Death Penalty Review Commission’s 2017 report.
In Oklahoma, over that same period, mistaken eyewitness identification was present in 28% of the 32 known wrongful convictions.
Another Death Penalty Review Commission co-chair and former U.S. Magistrate, Andy Lester said another major issue is relying on bite marks along with other forensic evidence found.
“One of the best evidence tends not to be very, very scientific, so making sure that when the evidence is presented, we are using the best available scientific evidence,” said Lester. “I mean, not all cases are going to depend on scientific evidence, but those are let’s make sure we’re doing it the right way.”
In April 2015, the FBI revealed that members of an elite forensic unit had nearly universally overstated conclusions of hair analysis in a way that favored the prosecution over criminal defendants.
26 of 28 FBI agents/analysts—who testified in cases in 41 states—provided erroneous testimony or lab reports.
The FBI concluded that 3,000 cases were impacted; of the 500 cases it had reviewed, erroneous statements were made in 96% of cases in which examiners provided statements used to inculpate a defendant at trial. Defendants in at least 35 of these cases received the death penalty.
Of those, errors were identified in 33 cases, and nine of those defendants had already been executed, four died in prison, and four had been exonerated.
As of September 2016, seven of the cases reviewed by the FBI were from Oklahoma; one of them was a capital case and the defendant had already been executed.
Although that report has been available for five years and in both Governor Kevin Stitt’s and Attorney General John O’Connor’s hands, both Henry and Lester said zero of their reforms have seen the light of day.
“Presumably, some of that’s because of of funding. But candidly, most of the recommendations that we made require little, if any, funding,” stated Lester.
Henry doesn’t think any of the state’s current leaders have the “courage” to implement them.
“We are law and order in Oklahoma. We’re tough on crime as we should be. I’ve never argued we shouldn’t be, but we need to be right,” said Henry.
As a group, the Death Penalty Review Commission didn’t take a position on the death penalty. It was composed of eleven people, five women and six men.
The commission’s seats were filled by defense lawyers, judges, citizens, crime victim advocates, law professors, Republicans and Democrats.
“In light of the extensive information gathered from this year-long, in-depth study, the
Commission members unanimously recommend that the current moratorium on the
death penalty be extended,” the 2017 report read. “The Commission did not come to this decision lightly.”
There are currently 43 death row inmates in Oklahoma. Of that, 25 are set to be executed in the next 29 months.
“It’s just a travesty when we put an innocent person in prison. Can you imagine executing an innocent person? And we’ve had 10 death row inmates who have been exonerated, found innocent. That tells me that we’ve probably put some innocent people to death in the past,” said Henry.
Back in 2017, the Death Penalty Review Commission visited with the governor, the attorney general, prosecutors, and the judiciary.
News 4 reached out to the Governor’s Office, but did not receive a response.
The Attorney General’s Office told KFOR in a statement, “As recently as 2016, an overwhelming majority of Oklahomans voted to preserve the death penalty in our laws. Oklahomans do not want to execute an innocent person. Each capital case is painstakingly reviewed by both state and federal courts. The appeals can take from thirteen to thirty-six years. A person on death row can assert his or her innocence at any time. Any challenge should be raised through our court system.”
O’Connor went on to say,
All of the persons who are scheduled for execution have been afforded their due process rights over many years. As long as the death penalty remains a legal and appropriate punishment for the most evil and heinous crimes, this office will continue to enforce the law and make sure that justice is served for the victims of crime and for all Oklahomans. If the policy-makers want to change the law, that should be done through the legislature after vigorous public discussion.
Attorney General for Oklahoma, John O’Connor.

STORY: "I had pretty much empty feelings. I didn’t feel there was any passion of the speech being delivered," said Duke Peltier, Chief of Wiikwenkoong Unceded Territory.Pope Francis told indigenous leaders on Friday, the last day of his Canadian visit that he was pained that Catholics had supported "oppressive and unjust policies" against them.The 85-year-old pope met on Friday with an indigenous delegation at the Quebec archbishop's residence before he was due to leave for a brief stop in the Arctic territory of Nunavut, which Canada created in 1999 for the Inuit people.He was referring to residential schools, where more than 150,000 indigenous children were separated from their families and brought to between 1870 and 1996. Religious groups, most of them Catholic, ran the schools for the governments of the times to implement a cultural assimilation policy.The children were starved or beaten for speaking their native languages and many sexually abused in a system Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission called "cultural genocide." | https://sports.yahoo.com/kadarius-toney-talks-flexibility-giants-215656811.html?src=rss | 2022-07-30T00:18:05Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/kadarius-toney-talks-flexibility-giants-215656811.html?src=rss | false | 1 |
When I purchased my gloss black Yamaha Venture in 2012, the paint was pristine. I have been very careful to cover painted parts when working near them, and clean bug guts off as soon as I reach my destination. Unfortunately, I have had some “Oh, heck!” accidents. I scratched my side bag lid by not raising my wife’s cup holder enough, and I rode too long with a magnetic tank bag attached to my gas tank. That leads us to a Quixx Paint Scratch Remover Kit review.Initially, I was reluctant to try the kit for fear of damaging my paint even more than I had done to it myself. Regardless, I took the leap to see if it really does work as promoted.
I tried it on two scratches on my Venture, and the only scratch on my black 2021 Hyundai Ionic. The paint on my always-garaged Venture is now 15 years old and has been through desert windstorms and other weather calamities, so it is no longer pristine. The scratches I inflicted on it really stood out, so I looked forward to the prospect of not having to look at them anymore.I started on the top of my Venture side bag. The instructions say to wet sand gently with the included 3000 grit sandpaper for no more than 15 seconds. I didn’t press hard and counted fast to 13 on the sanding.Next, I applied the #1 Repair scratch removal paste, rubbing hard for about two minutes.Per instructions, I washed off the #1 Repair residue and applied the #2 Finish until it vanished into the supplied polishing cloth. The “Oh, heck!” was gone! I wish I had bought the Quixx Paint Scratch Remover Kit 10 years ago when I made that scratch.I then moved on to the right side of the tank, near the seat.I may have been a little overzealous with the 3000 grit sandpaper. So, I applied the #1 Repair twice, and finished with the #2 Finish. Happily, the area with the scratches now looks the same as the rest of the paint on the tank.The next job was a double scratch on the Hyundai’s driver’s side passenger door. I don’t know how it happened, but it was just there one day.I did the same—sandpaper, #1 Repair, and #2 Finish. The lower scratch all but disappeared. While the top scratch was diminished by 50 percent, it didn’t eliminate it—the gash is probably too deep. The Quixx kit definitely reduced two scratches to a barely noticeable single scratch.For $17 MSRP and probably 10 or more scratch applications, the Quixx Paint Scratch Remover Kit is a smart try before doing a repaint. It has its limitations—do not use it on ceramic paint, for example. However, for those “Oh, heck!” scratches on just about any other paint that didn’t reach into the primer, it can help make that annoying scratch fade out of sight. If it doesn’t happen to work on that deep scratch you are hoping to eliminate, it will probably remove others that will inevitably arrive.
Hello everyone and welcome once again to the Ultimate Motorcycling podcast—Motos and Friends. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Motos and Friends is brought to you by the Yamaha YZF-R7—the comfortable supersport machine that is as capable on the racetrack as it is on the street. Check it out at at your local Yamaha dealer, or of course at YamahaMotorsports.com.
In this week’s first segment, Senior Editor Nic de Sena finally gets to ride the Aprilia RS 660 at Laguna Seca no less—pretty much the perfect track environment for Aprilia’s brilliant middleweight sport bike. However, having said that, everyone acknowledges that the RS660 an awesome motorcycle on the road—but it’s not a supersport machine, so could it be just a little out of its depth on the track?
In the second segment, I chat with another one of my good buddies and riding friends from Honda—Mike Snyder. Mike was in the marketing department at Honda for several years before he retired a couple years ago. His insights into a couple of the models and technologies developed during his tenure are interesting to hear. He’s also quite the rider himself—an ex-club racer who although he’s hung up his racing leathers, he’s now a guy who really enjoys his foreign touring exploits too.
So, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode! | https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2022/07/29/quixx-paint-scratch-remover-kit-review-save-your-motorcycles-finish/ | 2022-07-30T00:19:33Z | https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2022/07/29/quixx-paint-scratch-remover-kit-review-save-your-motorcycles-finish/ | true | 1 |

Tax Litigation: The Week of July 25th, 2022, through July 29th, 2022
Kinney v. Comm'r, T.C. Memo. 2022-81 | July 28, 2022 | Weiler, J. | Dkt. No. 17664-19
Short Summary: From 1975 until 2014 Charles Kinney worked as an attorney licensed in California. In 2008, he was declared to be a vexatious litigant for commencing unmeritorious litigations, primarily against his neighbor. On June 24, 2016, he was officially disbarred. This Tax Court opinion regards the IRS's disallowance of Kinney's claimed deductions for business expenses reported on Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business for tax year 2016. On his return, Kinney reported that he was a consultant, but during the IRS's audit proceedings, Kinney changed his "business" to "Data Entry, Consulting, Tech. Serv., [and] Whistle-Blower." Kinney claimed deductions for car and truck expenses, insurance expenses (other than health), utilities expenses, and other expenses. The Schedule C business activities did not generate a profit and the business activities and associated expenses predominantly stemmed from litigation relating to challenging Kinney's disbarment and lawsuits that would otherwise personally benefit him. The Tax Court opinion provides much detail on Kinney's litigation proclivities and lawsuit losses because the expenses incurred by Kinney in various matters were reported on his Schedule C. While colorful, the details of those litigation matters are not relevant for this blog. For "other expenses," Kinney claimed deduction for life insurance, personal liability umbrella insurance policy, and water sports accidents and injuries insurance.
Key Issues:
- Whether Kinney was entitled to deduct Schedule C (1) other expenses and (2) car and truck expenses reported on his 2016 tax return?
Primary Holdings:
- While the documentation Kinney provided showed that certain expenses were paid, there was no credible evidence introduced as to the business purpose of the expenses or that the expenditures were ordinary and necessary for the purpose indicated. The litigation expenses were personal and nondeductible since they were associated with Kinney's disbarment, vexatious litigant declaration, and prior property disputes with his neighbors. The insurance expenses were likewise personal and thus nondeductible.
Key Points of Law:
- Burden of Proof and Rules of Review. In general, the IRS's determinations set forth in a notice of deficiency are presumed correct, and the taxpayer bears the burden of proving otherwise. Rule 142(a); Welch v. Helvering, 290 U.S. 111, 115 (1933). Deductions are a matter of legislative grace, and the taxpayer generally bears the burden of proving entitlement to any deduction claimed. INDOPCO, Inc. v. Commissioner, 503 U.S. 79, 84 (1992); New Colonial Ice Co. v. Helvering, 292 U.S. 435, 440 (1934). The taxpayer is required to maintain records that are sufficient to enable the Commissioner to determine his correct tax liability. I.R.C. § 6001. The taxpayer bears the burden of substantiating the amount and purpose of the claimed deduction. Higbee v. Commissioner, 116 T.C. 438, 440 (2001).
- Cohan When a taxpayer establishes that he or she paid or incurred a deductible expense but fails to establish the amount of the deduction, the Tax Court may sometimes estimate the amount allowable as a deduction. Cohan v. Commissioner, 39 F.2d 540, 543–44 (2d Cir. 1930); Vanicek v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 731, 742–43 (1985). However, there must be sufficient evidence in the record to permit the Court to conclude that a deductible expense was paid or incurred in at least the amount allowed. Williams v. United States, 245 F.2d 559, 560 (5th Cir. 1957). The burden of proof may shift to the IRS if the taxpayer introduces credible evidence with respect to any factual issue relevant to ascertaining the proper tax liability and establishes that he or she complied with the requirements of section 7491(a)(2)(A) and (B) to substantiate items, to maintain required records, and to cooperate with the IRS's reasonable requests. I.R.C. § 7491(a)(1) and (2).
- Different Business Components. Having a business with various different components does not, in and of itself, preclude a taxpayer from arguing that they constitute one business for purposes of section 183. See Reg. § 1.183-1(d)(1). However, if a taxpayer's claimed expense deductions are personal or otherwise excluded under the Code, the Tax Court need not consider whether the activities—either individually or collectively—were entered into with the requisite profit motive. See Treas. Reg. § 1.183-2(a).
- Section 162 Business Expense Deduction. Section 162(a) allows as a deduction "all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business." The taxpayer must show that he or she engaged in the activity with an "actual and honest objective of making a profit." Hulter v. Commissioner, 91 T.C. 371, 392 (1988); see Vest v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2016-187, at *10, aff'd, 690 F. App'x 210 (5th Cir. 2017). No deduction is allowed for "personal, living, or family expenses." I.R.C. § 262(a). Whether an expenditure satisfies the requirements for deductibility under section 162 is a question of fact. See Commissioner v. Heininger, 320 U.S. 467, 475 (1943).
- Ordinary and Necessary Expenses. An ordinary expense is one that commonly or frequently occurs in the taxpayer's business, and a necessary expense is one that is appropriate and helpful in carrying on the taxpayer's business. See Deputy v. du Pont, 308 U.S. 488, 495 (1940) (ordinary); Commissioner v. Heininger, 320 U.S. at 471 (necessary); Treas. Reg. § 1.162-1(a).
- Legal Fees and Attorney-Related Expenses. The deductibility of legal fees depends on the origin and character of the claim for which the expenses were incurred and whether the claim bears a sufficient nexus to the taxpayer's business or income-producing activities. See United States v. Gilmore, 372 U.S. 39, 48–49 (1963). "[T]he origin and character of the claim with respect to which an expense was incurred, rather than its potential consequences upon the fortunes of the taxpayer, is the controlling basic test." at 49. In order for a taxpayer's legal fees to be deductible on Schedule C, they must have originated in the taxpayer's work as a licensed attorney and not in personal matters. Section 162(a) does not allow for the deduction of fees paid and costs incurred to gain admission to a state bar. See Ryman v. Commissioner, 51 T.C. 799, 801–03 (1969). Expenses incurred with the goal of protecting one's reputation are also irrelevant and nondeductible. See Vannier v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1997-370, 1997 WL 459741, at *4.
- Section 262 Rules. Section 262 takes precedence over section 162. Commissioner v. Idaho Power Co., 418 U.S. 1, 17 (1974). If the origin of a claimed deductions is personal as defined under section 262, the Tax Court need not consider whether they are ordinary and necessary to Schedule C business activities. Section 274(d) prescribes more stringent substantiation requirements to be met before a taxpayer may deduct certain categories of expenses, including travel expenses, meals and lodging while away from home, and expenses with respect to listed property as defined in section 280F(d)(4). See Sanford v. Commissioner, 50 T.C. 823, 827 (1968), aff'd per curiam, 412 F.2d 201 (2d Cir. 1969).
- Section 274 Rules. Even if such an expense would otherwise be deductible, section 274 may still preclude a deduction if the taxpayer does not present sufficient substantiation. Temp. Treas. Reg. § 1.274-5T(a). "Adequate records" generally consist of an account book, a diary, a log, a statement of expenses, trip sheets, or a similar record made at or near the time of the expenditure or use, along with supporting documentary evidence. at § 1.274-5T(c)(2). The Court may not use the Cohan Rule to estimate expenses covered by section 274(d). See id. at § 1.274-5T(a). If a taxpayer does not satisfy the adequate records requirement with respect to one or more elements, he or she may substantiate those elements with his or her own detailed statement and with other corroborative evidence. See I.R.C. § 274(d); Temp. Treas. Reg. § 1.274- 5T(a), (b), and (c). The Tax Court is not compelled to accept a taxpayer's unsubstantiated, conclusory, and self-serving statements without additional evidence. See Johnson v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1999-127, aff'd, 246 F.3d 674 (9th Cir. 2000).
- "Listed Property." "Listed property" as defined in section 280F(d)(4) includes passenger automobiles, which are defined as four-wheeled vehicles weighing under 6,000 pounds and manufactured primarily for use on public streets and highways. I.R.C. § 280F(d)(5)(A). A passenger automobile does not include any ambulance, hearse, or vehicle used by the taxpayer directly in a trade or business of transporting persons or property for compensation or hire. SeeR.C. § 280F(d)(5)(B); Hatte v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2019-109, at *7 n.3.
- Life Insurance Premiums. Deductions are not allowed for premiums paid on any life insurance policy if the taxpayer is directly or indirectly a beneficiary under the policy or contract. I.R.C. § 264(a)(1); see Ong v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2012-114; Minick v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2010-12. Insurance designed to insure personal activities is also not deductible.
- Whistle-Blow Expenses. Whistleblowing expenses are nondeductible when the whistleblowing activities are merely a continuation of personal lawsuits. See R.C. § 1001, 262(a).
Insights: Kinney represents another case of a taxpayer failing the substantiation requirements for deductions of business expenses under sections 162 and 274. Kinney failed to appropriately establish that the expenses claimed for deduction were related to a legitimate trade or business. The expenses were personal in nature, even though some were incurred in Kinney's effort to save his law license or to protect his property. Insufficient corroborating testimony was given, and generalized or self-serving testimony is insufficient to otherwise establish any of the required elements for deduction of the claimed expenses.

Two years ago, Arkansas hired a widely unknown position coach named Sam Pittman to be the head coach of its floundering program, and let’s be honest, we all had a big laugh over it.
Not to single Mandel out (ok, maybe a little bit), but this reaction was a pretty standard take at the time:
The SEC West is now six highly established head coaches (Saban, Malzahn, Orgeron, Jimbo, Kiffin, Leach) and Sam Pittman.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 9, 2020
Best of luck Arkansas.
That take has not aged well. Taking over a team coming off back-to-back 2-10 seasons, Pittman struggled in his first year, but did get the Hogs to three wins, which hides their actual improvement. Arkansas was 1-23 in the SEC the three years prior, and he went 3-7 in conference play in his first season.
Last year, he guided Arkansas to their best season in a decade. Now, it says a lot about the fall of Arkansas football that 9-4 (4-4) counts as their best season in a decade, but it also speaks highly of the job Pittman has done.
Arkansas is managing to compete in the most stacked division in the nation. Now, they are being helped by the fact LSU took the last two seasons off from being one of the best programs in the nation and whatever the heck is going on at Auburn, but that’s what Arkansas has to do. Take advantage when the door opens a crack.
This is still a team suffering from a massive talent gap. Last year’s Team Talent Composite from 247 rated the Hogs as the tenth most talented roster in the SEC, and ahead of only Mississippi St in the West (and barely at that). They were the only SEC West team without a five-star recruit on the roster.
Though the Team Talent calculator also demonstrates how tough it is to play in the SEC West. Arkansas is 6th in the West and 10th in the SEC by the talent ratings, yet it ranks as the 28th most talented roster in the nation. This is a talented roster, just not relative to its neighbors.
Arkansas was hit relatively hard by graduation and transfers, but they have done an admirable job of plugging the holes through the transfer portal. Their portal activity gives you an idea of just how much the new rules are helping Arkansas stay afloat.
According to the 247 composite, Arkansas had seven 4-star recruits and only two rated above .900. In the portal, they added five more 4-stars, two of whom were 5-stars as high school seniors. And all five rated as .900 or better. That’s a stellar job of preventing talent drain at a place that can barely afford it.
Despite the gap in raw talent, Arkansas produced last year. The Razorbacks boasted the SEC’s top rushing attack, averaging 227.8 yards a game and 5.04 yards per carry. They return four starts on the line and while they lose nominal starter Trelon Smith, Raheim Sanders only had 5 less carries. The rest of the backfield returns.
And that includes the guy who makes this team go, KJ Jefferson. Jefferson was actually the team’s leading rusher last year, but he was a true double threat. Jefferson completed 67.3% of his passes for an average of 9.1 yards per attempt. He has a good case to be the best quarterback in the SEC not named Bryce Young.
However, Jefferson is the exception on a team that does not specialize in star power. A largely no-name defense ranked fifth in the SEC in yards/play, and likely will repeat that performance. Barry Odom has a long track in the SEC of turning lightly recruited players into, well maybe not elite, but definitely very good defenses.
Arkansas is a program which is a testament to the value of good coaching. They aren’t going to out talent anyone, but they are going to beat a lot of someone’s. Arkansas and A&M both went 4-4 in SEC play last year, but Arkansas beat the Aggies straight up. What evidence is there that the gap between those programs has narrowed?
Arkansas is going to look just like they did last year. They will have a solid defense full of guys you have never heard of. They will have an elite power running game behind a terrific offensive line. And they will have a dynamic playmaker under center who has the ability to make big plays happen.
If Arkansas is ever going to make a run at the SEC title, this is the year. LSU is reloading, A&M’s spectacular class is still green, and Ole Miss is likely to take a step back without Matt Corral. The door is open just a crack.
You can’t stop progress, but maybe Arkansas can slow it down for a season. They have the staff to do it. | https://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2022/7/29/23282662/arkansas-flips-the-script | 2022-07-30T00:25:37Z | https://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2022/7/29/23282662/arkansas-flips-the-script | false | 1 |

Will Smith addresses Chris Rock slap at Oscars in apology video: "My behavior was unacceptable"
Will Smith posted an apology video on Friday addressing his slap on Chris Rock during the Oscars, saying his "behavior was unacceptable."
Smith said he reached out to Rock, but the comedian was "not ready to talk" and will reach out once he is.
"So I will say to you, 'Chris, I apologize to you,'" Smith said. "My behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.'"
Smith, who won an Oscar for his performance in "King Richard," added that he didn't apologize during his acceptance speech because he was "fogged out by that point." The actor also apologized to Rock's mother and family, and admits the damage is "probably irreparable."
"I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and complexities of what happened in that moment... but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. There is no part of me that thinks that's the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults."
Smith said his wife Jada Pinkett Smith did not tell him to act on anything during the moment as she was seen rolling her eyes after Rock made a joke about her shaved head. Rock likened Pinkett Smith to movie character "G.I. Jane" because she is bald due to a diagnosis of alopecia, which causes hair loss.
"I made the choice on my own...Jada had nothing to do with it," he said. "I'm sorry babe."
He also said sorry to fellow nominees for taking away the spotlight and fans who look up to him.
"The work I'm trying to do is I am deeply remorseful and I'm trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself," he said. "I'm human. I made a mistake and I'm not trying to think of myself as a piece of s**t."
The Academy announced in April that Smith would be banned for 10 years from any of their events after slapping Rock. Smith resigned from the Academy and apologized.

A trawler carrying cement has capsized in the river Pandab in Barishal's Bakerganj Upazila.
The two men onboard the vessel managed to swim ashore, but one of them suffered minor injuries, according to Bakerganj Police Station chief Alauddin Milan.
The injured person, identified by his first name only as Ripon, has been admitted to the Bakerganj Upazila Health Complex, he said.
The trawler was carrying 1,000 sacks of cement from a factory in Barishal city. It sank after a collision with a sand-laden vessel in the Arsheder Kheya Ghat area of the upazila's Kalashkathi on Thursday night.
However, the police could not confirm the sunken trawler's destination. -bdnews24.com | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=376933 | 2022-07-30T00:34:37Z | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=376933 | true | null |

With global warming leaving an indelible mark on our lives, and uncontrollable fire burning out west, it is interesting to think about fires here in the White Mountains and surrounding area. This used to be called the “asbestos forest,” because fires just didn’t happen here.
That has changed. Starting with the Table Mountain Fire in 1984, there have been quite a few — many started by humans, others not. In 2016, there was the Boulder Loop fire. This spring, there was the Bemis Fire in Crawford Notch State Park and the Centennial Fire in Shelburne. Personnel of the U.S Forest Service are veterans at fire fighting, traditionally going elsewhere.
It is also interesting when a fire occurs outside the national forest and communities successfully come together to fight it. A classic example is the 2015 Bayle Mountain fire in the Ossipee Range. This is an article I wrote that early summer.
On a hot Thursday afternoon, I hiked up Bayle Mountain (1,853 feet) in the Ossipee Range. I wanted to check out the aftermath of the ground fire that started on May 5 and burned 275 acres on the mountain.
I learned about the fire in a dramatic way, and not through the news. That evening I was walking alone around White Lake in Tamworth, my first time doing so since the snow left. I got three quarters of the way around the lake on the east shore, and walked 30 feet out through the trees to get an unobstructed view of the glassy lake and Ossipee Range above. To my surprise, there was a smoke plume rising from the mountain.
I didn’t quite recognize Bayle Mountain from my location. The origin of the smoke looked like it was part way up Mount Shaw, the highest peak in the range.
Anyway, I called the sheriff’s office immediately and reported it. In the process of being connected to the Ossipee Fire Department, I saw a helicopter dropping water on the blaze, and knew it was already being fought. They confirmed, saying they had been fighting it for 10 hours.
As I watched, the helicopter left and soon returned to empty its 200 gallons of water from the bag suspended beneath it onto the smoking slope below. Although the helicopter appeared to be the size of a mosquito from my location, it was a striking image indeed.
According to Adam Riley, Chief of the Ossipee Corner Fire Department and Forest Fire Warden, the fire was of unknown origin. Because of this the fire fighting efforts and expenses were divided between the state and the town of Ossipee. He worked continuously with a state forest ranger throughout the fire to supervise the operation.
He said that the fire began somewhere on the east slope of Bayle Mountain above Connor Pond, and swept along the west slope.
“The first couple of days it burned downhill as well as uphill,” he said.
Along with the helicopters, firefighters cutting fire lines and carrying backpack pumps kept it from reaching local residencies.
Dr. Glick, who owns the last house on Marble Road, which was potentially located in the fire’s path, was grateful for their successful efforts, and afterward wrote a letter to the editor in this newspaper praising their work.
On day three, the wind shifted, and it was feared that the fire would rise up to the saddle between Bayle Mountain and Bald Mountain to the north, then take off up the slope out of control.
“It could have headed west toward Moultonborough,” he added dramatically.
A Blackhawk helicopter was called in. For the remainder of the day it dumped 600 gallon loads of water on the fire, successfully curbing it.
Over the five day period, 100 firefighters were dispatched onto the slopes, from more than 50 fire departments. The terrain was rugged. They would work for a day or two and others would take over. The private helicopters put in 40 hours of water drop time.
Cooperation was the key element on all fronts. To feed and hydrate the crew, 20 local business and individuals donated food. A Red Cross canteen was present in a field on Connor Pond Road, along with a mobile command unit brought up from the coast.
On the evening of the third day, the fire was contained and hot spots were extinguished over the next couple of days.
Because of the lack of rain, occasional flare ups continued. These have been caused by debris and hollow trees from the ice storm of 1998. Also, the fire has gone underground in places in dry humus and roots. Slash from intensive logging by Chocorua Forestlands LLC adds to the danger.
On May 10, after the mountain was reopened to hikers, Jeremy Clark, a well known hiker who created the very useful hiking website New England Trail Conditions (newenglandtrailconditions.com), climbed Bayle Mountain to check out and report on the post fire conditions.
On the way down, he spotted a smoke between a split rock. He tried to put it out with his liquid refreshment, but decided to call it in, and a fireman was dispatched to extinguish it.
Community cooperation has extended through the month to prevent flare ups from spreading. Around 4 p.m. on Thursday this week, a smoke was sighted on the mountain by a local. It was called in to the fire department, which immediately called a resident pilot at Windsock Estates, a development with an airstrip on Ossipee Lake Road. They quickly went aloft, located the smoke and called in the location so fire fighters could get to the scene quickly. The next day (yesterday) a group returned to the scene to make sure it was out.
Which bring me to my own hike on Thursday. At noon,
I left my car at the Bayle Mountain parking lot on Marble Road, walked up the road and turned right on a wide snowmobile road towards the mountain. In almost a mile I turned left off the road at small cairn, and hiked up the Bayle Mountain Trail.
There had been no sign of the fire below, but that changed at an abrupt transition. All the ground between ledges and scattered boulders was black with charcoal, and the young leaves on the lower branches of the trees had died in the heat, making the forest more open.
As I scrambled up the upper ledges, I noticed new ferns and other plants coming up through blackened earth. This was natural renewal. Politics and economics aside, the fire was good for the landscape.
On top was a wonderful breeze, eradicating mosquitoes and cooling me off. Quite a few stunted red pines were standing dead. Most of the summit vegetation between the smooth ledges was burned. The blueberries were going to be good in the future, I thought. I enjoyed the hazy views in all directions, then headed down.
I would be taken by surprise the next day when Adam Riley told me that a smoke had been spotted at a higher elevation near the trail, a couple hours after I left the summit.
A plane from Windsock Estates pinpointed it, and crews were sent up, finding an area 20 feet by 40 feet merrily burning. And on Friday morning, they were back up there to make sure it was out. They had to dig down three feet in places to find cool soil. | https://www.conwaydailysun.com/outdoors/hiking/revisiting-the-bayle-mountain-fire/article_f483d0b6-0f5c-11ed-8c49-bfa59080223d.html | 2022-07-30T00:35:12Z | https://www.conwaydailysun.com/outdoors/hiking/revisiting-the-bayle-mountain-fire/article_f483d0b6-0f5c-11ed-8c49-bfa59080223d.html | true | 1 |
Dale Dickey is a familiar face in movies and on TV.
She's been a character actress for more than a quarter of a century. For her latest role, Dickey veered off her usual acting path into some unfamiliar territory.
Suddenly, she's a leading lady and she's getting some of the best reviews of her career.
In "A Love Song," Dickey plays a widow living alone in a trailer on a Colorado campground. She's waiting for a romantic interest from her youth to pay her visit. The film is about love, loss, healing and whatever might come next. For Dickey, what's come is a role that's gotten her much acclaim.
"It is nice for me to play a kinder, gentler sort since I'm usually killing people or something hard and violent and rough and strange," Dickey said.
Wes Studi plays the man from her past in the film. Despite his decades in the business, he, too, welcomed the challenge of something new for him: a little on-screen romance.
"The relationship is what sparked the whole thing, as far as I was concerned," Studi said. "Even old people are attracted to one another or, you know, the inner being of a human being is simply-doesn't change with age."
Dickey added, "And I just think it's beautiful to watch. Plus you get to see two-middle aged weathered actors have it out. So that's kind of fun."
Writer-director Max Walker-Silver was thrilled to get Dickey to say "yes" to his movie.
"I wrote the movie for her, picturing her in this place and knowing that I didn't know if there was anyone else that could exist in this landscape so truthfully and honestly and also so powerfully," Walker-Silver said.
He wrote this for Dickey even though he'd never met her. He just sensed it was a role just for her.
"There's a relief that people embrace the film. And that I didn't screw Max's movie up because I don't do lead roles. I was very insecure going in. So, yes, of course, it's very flattering and I'm really happy people are taking to it," Dickey said.
And taking to her!
If early reviews are any indication, I think we may be hearing more about her performance in the months to come.
"A Love Song" is in select theaters now. | https://abc7.com/dale-dickey-a-love-song-wes-studi/12083587/ | 2022-07-30T00:36:00Z | https://abc7.com/dale-dickey-a-love-song-wes-studi/12083587/ | false | 1 |

Body Language Expert Says Prince Harry Is Still ‘Deeply in Love’ With Meghan Markle, Despite Royal Rift
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle are still “deeply in love,” according to an expert who read the couple’s body language before they traveled to the UK for the Queen’s Jubilee. Despite rumors that Harry and Meghan’s relationship is under pressure, or that she caused a rift between Harry and Prince William, the expert says their interactions demonstrate profound love and affection.
There have been rumors that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship is strained
Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, recently traveled to the UK to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. It was the couple’s first public appearance in the UK since 2019.
Harry previously told Oprah (via Marie Claire) that, although the “UK is [his] home,” he had to leave due to a “lack of support and lack of understanding” from the royal family.
Shortly before they traveled to England, Harry participated in a polo match in Santa Barbara. Meghan accompanied him, and one body language expert said she appeared “over-possessive and maternal” toward her husband.
Body language expert Judi James reviewed footage and photos from the polo match, and she told Express that “Meghan adopted ‘command, control, steer’ mode, placing both hands around Harry’s face as they kissed.”
Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, also expressed concern after the polo match. “I feel that, from [Meghan’s] body language at the polo, she came across as smothering,” he told OK! Magazine.
An expert said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s body language shows they are still ‘deeply in love’
Despite rumors that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship was struggling, another body language expert said it appears the couple is more in love than ever. Body language expert Darren Stanton examined photos and footage from the couple’s recent appearances and concluded they are “deeply in love.”
“Similar to Kate and William, Harry and Meghan have grown much more accustomed to public displays of affection, like holding hands or exchanging long glances with one another,” Stanton told PureWow (on behalf of Slingo). “The strong eye contact between the pair is a clear indicator that Harry is completely head over heels for Meghan. He is often seen prolonging eye contact with Meghan – a behavior we usually reserve for romantic partners and a tell-tale sign of deep rapport, suggesting Harry is deeply in love.”
Stanton described how the couple’s interactions show a positive transformation in their relationship. “Both Harry and Meghan are very tactile with one another. When they hold hands, not only are their hands intertwined but their forearms also touch, signifying the deep connection they have,” he explained. “This wasn’t so prevalent in the early days of their relationship as it is now, proving how their relationship has strengthened and evolved over time.”
The former ‘Suits’ star allegedly caused a rift between her husband and his brother, Prince William
Besides the gossip surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship, there have also been rumors that the Duchess of Sussex created a rift between her husband and his brother, Prince William.
It was widely believed that Markle and Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, didn’t get along. But veteran royal reporter Katie Nicholl revealed that it was actually William and Harry who clashed.
According to Nicholl’s sources, the brothers had a severe disagreement around Christmas 2018, when Harry told William he wasn’t welcoming Meghan into the royal family.
“Harry felt William wasn’t rolling out the red carpet for Meghan and told him so,” said Nicholl’s source (per Cosmopolitan). “They had a bit of a fallout, which was only resolved when Charles stepped in and asked William to make an effort. That’s when the Cambridges invited the Sussexes to spend Christmas with them.”
In the documentary Kate v. Meghan: Princesses at War?, Katie Nicholl explained, “William was quite concerned that the relationship had moved so quickly. And being close to Harry, probably the only person close enough to say to Harry, ‘This seems to be moving quickly, are you sure?’”
She believes William had the best intentions for his younger brother. “I think what was meant as well-intended brotherly advice just riled Harry,” Nicholl opined. “Harry is hugely protective of Meghan. He saw that as criticism. He interpreted that as his brother not really being behind this marriage, this union, and I don’t think things have been quite right ever since.” | https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/body-language-expert-says-prince-harry-still-deeply-love-meghan-markle-despite-royal-rift.html/ | 2022-07-30T00:46:33Z | https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/body-language-expert-says-prince-harry-still-deeply-love-meghan-markle-despite-royal-rift.html/ | false | 1 |

Seven firearms, more than $4.5 million worth of drugs and $150,000 in cash have been seized by police during an 11-day operation targeting organised criminal networks.
Police attended multiple properties over the two-week period, including a home near Grafton, at which they found “significant quantities of precursor chemicals and equipment consistent with the manufacture of prohibited drugs” and about a kilogram of cannabis.
A lab was dismantled and chemicals were seized by the Drug and Firearms Squad’s Chemical Operations Unit.
Police also found two hydroponic cannabis grow labs and about 2.5kg of dried and packaged cannabis at a home in Carrara, where a 55-year-old was charged with a number of drug-related offences.
At another home, in Tweed Heads, police seized more than 130 grams of white powder they suspected to be cocaine, as well as cannabis, $18,000 cash and multiple electronic devices. A 53-year-old man was charged with multiple offences in relation to the raid.
A 27-year-old was also arrested and charged with multiple firearm offences at a separate property in Tweed Heads South, where police found and seized a loaded rifle and ammunition from the kitchen.
Officers also seized about $10,000 cash, luxury watches and electronic devices from a home in Ewingsdale, where a 44-year-old was served with a firearm prohibition order.
“We know criminal organisations were establishing themselves across the North Coast because of its lucrative drug market and a perceived idea the area is relatively free of scrutiny from law enforcement,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Jason Weinstein said.
“I’m confident that following these two weeks that perception has changed – as we continue to work closely through joint operations to prevent, disrupt and respond to organised crime.”
The multi-agency operation targeted networks in northern NSW and south-east Queensland and involved NSW Police, the NSW Crime Commission, Queensland Police, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
The operation began on July 18 and concluded on Friday.
Commissioner at the NSW Crime Commission Michael Barnes said: “Significant law enforcement outcomes have been achieved, including proceeds of crime confiscation, and this is proof that criminals can’t escape the attention of law enforcement by moving to secluded areas.”

An oxymoron is "a combination of contradictory or incongruous words," according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary. Think of the phrases "open secret" or "working vacation."
This week, the oxymoron that came to my mind was "government competency." I went to my local post office to mail a book to a friend. When I got there, the lobby was open, but the service desk was closed. The self-service mailing equipment in the lobby (scale for mailing and computer to figure out postage requirement) was not working. There was a sign hanging from the glass in front of the service desk that said, "Will Return at 2:15," which was 30 minutes later. I had to mail the package, and it would take at least 20 minutes to drive to another location, and who knew if that would be open, so I waited and walked around the shopping center to pass the time.
When I returned and stood in line, I noticed a piece of paper that was taped to a side of a box that had been placed on a counter in front of a window where a postal clerk was seated. The paper said:
People are also reading…
"ATTENTION Due to staffing & COVID 19 this location will be subject to close at: 3:45 p.m. Mon-Friday Thank you for your patience! Have a safe day!"
Wow, closed for lunch and closing early! I was relieved that I had come back before they closed for the rest of the day. When I made it to the counter about 10 minutes later, the lady who waited on me was professional and courteous, but the line was slow since she was the only person at the counter.
It was not her responsibility to make sure that there was another staff person there to support the location. An additional staff person would have allowed the post office to stay open while the other worker had lunch, and possibly would have led to the post office being open regular hours. What should have taken 10 minutes ended up taking over an hour to complete.
Somewhere in the upper echelons of the United States Postal Service, management had failed to provide the service that is expected by us taxpayers, who routinely are called on to bail it out. I had a similar experience a few months ago when renewing my son's passport. We had to drive over 30 minutes to find a post office where we could make an appointment, and the post office clerk told us that he often processed passports for people from out of state because many of the other post offices simply would not allow appointments.
It's not just the post office that treats its clients this way; when you think of government services in general, do you think efficient? Contact me if you do. I'm not holding my breath.
Our model of government is the best in the world. But the structure of our government is deliberately cumbersome and inefficient. We have an executive, judicial and legislative branch, which are equally important. The checks and balances of that structure allow for slow change, and guard against a potential dictatorship. But they do not allow for nimbleness and efficiency.
Let's contrast my post office visit with my visit yesterday to my local UPS store. When I walked into the store, one of the three people who were working there helped me within seconds, and I was out the door in just a few minutes. Yes, it cost more, but the package will also be delivered in one day rather than in many. The customer service representatives were courteous, competent and efficient. Most importantly, there were three of them to serve the customers. It was a well-run organization. A public company, UPS has a $157 billion market capitalization and over 500,000 employees. The UPS strategy is "customer first, people led, innovation driven."
USPS also has over 500,000 employees. It claims "our priority is you," but my experience did not reflect that slogan, which it has trademarked.
Keep this contrast in mind as you hear people suggest that government control is the answer to our current problems. For example, let's take student loans. The government stepping in and absolving students of debt isn't the answer; educating students in high school in financial literacy and options for their future is the best solution.
So, if government does not work well, what does? Entrepreneurship, resilience and creating an ownership attitude in which every person working within an organization is part of the team. This happens through great personal leadership that resonates throughout the organization. Think "customer first, people led, innovation driven." That's no oxymoron. | https://starherald.com/government-competency/article_764b37ac-0f9d-11ed-a84c-cb08d22bbd32.html | 2022-07-30T01:04:16Z | https://starherald.com/government-competency/article_764b37ac-0f9d-11ed-a84c-cb08d22bbd32.html | true | 3 |

TORONTO — As a former gymnast who has seen the darker side of that sport, Kirsty Duncan's mandate was to try to eradicate abuse in Canadian sport.
Duncan, who was Canada's sport minister from 2015 to '19, is angry she wasn't informed by either Hockey Canada or Sport Canada about the assault allegations against the world junior team in 2018.
She said she has zero confidence in Hockey Canada to clean up the sport now, particularly if the same people remain in charge.
"If we look at hockey, they failed for 30 years," Duncan said. "We're hearing about initiatives. We're hearing a lot after the fact. The watershed moment should have been after Sheldon Kennedy (who was abused by then-coach Graham James in junior hockey).
"Did Hockey Canada change? The answer is no. I think they've played right around the edges. I think they've done bits and pieces. But I think they've failed to change the culture over 30 years. And why is this time different, if it’s the same leadership?"
Duncan spoke to The Canadian Press the day after publishing an op-ed in the Globe and Mail about hockey and Canada's safe-sport crisis. The emotion was obvious in her voice.
She wrote about growing up in gymnastics, which has also been in the spotlight recently with more than 500 Canadian gymnasts calling for an independent investigation into their sport.
"I know personally what it feels like to be told to eat Jell-O, laxatives, toilet paper, and water pills to 'make weight,' and to be repeatedly verbally abused by other coaches, judges, and parents," Duncan wrote.
"I'll tell you about a judge," she said in Friday's phone interview. "I'm at a local competition. It's LOCAL. It's club level. The judge came up to my mom, in front of the whole crowd and said ‘Your daughter's good, but she has a fat ass.’ I would have been 11 or 12."
Duncan, who is an MP for Etobicoke North, said she's dedicated most of her life to sport, becoming a coach and judge after her days as an athlete.
"(Kids) get one childhood," she said. "There was nothing I thought was more important than to become a coach, I couldn't wait to become a coach and you have young athletes, you've got these little guys, the four-year-olds and they look at you with those big trusting eyes. How can you not do everything you can to protect them?"
Elite athletes, coaches and judges often see instances of maltreatment. That's why, after "being angry for 30 years," Duncan made safe sport her mandate.
"When I got the chance to do something, I grabbed it and I had one goal: protect athletes and children. I did everything in my power to put in protections in sport," she said.
Duncan said she received major pushback when trying to introduce safe-sport initiatives, which included 13 safe-sport summits across the country, creating a universal code of conduct, a phone-in tip line, an advisory group of experts on safe sport, and a gender equity research hub.
Duncan believes that there needs to be a sport-by-sport reckoning in Canada now, and the unwieldy prospect of policing sport at the grassroots, provincial and national level will take "everyone."
"Everyone has a piece of this. Everyone has to step up," she said.
"It is overwhelming," Duncan added. "But in the school system, there's a duty of care. If you see something, you have to report it.That doesn't exist in sport. That's why I was clear every time I spoke to the sport community, 'you have a duty of care.' That means there's no turning away. There's no saying 'I didn't see, I didn't hear.' Are you telling me that Hockey Canada couldn't see the patterns?"
Duncan, who was minister of both sport and science, said the federal government needs to make sport a priority, with a large dedicated department and the necessary funding.
"Because we're dealing with young people. It's the future of our country. Let’s give them the best start we can."
The Hockey Canada controversy began when the national sport organization reached a settlement in May with a woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted in 2018 by members of Canada's world junior team.
Since then, Sport Canada froze the funding to Hockey Canada, sponsors have withdrawn their support, and then news broke of allegations of another group sexual assault involving Canadian junior players in 2003.

Those spectacular pictures of galaxies forming at a time very near the origin of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope came at a pretty price: $9.7 billion, to be precise.
It is fair to ask, “Is the Webb telescope project worth the price?”
The James Webb Space Telescope project began in 1996 with an expected launch in 2007 for a relatively low cost of $1 billion to $3.5 billion. But the project underwent a bewildering array of delays and unexpected scientific challenges. By the time the telescope was launched on Christmas Day 2021, the cost spiraled to nearly $10 billion. One journal referred to Webb as “the telescope that ate astronomy.”
To be fair, that price tag covers the entire lifetime of the project, and it has been partly shouldered by the European and Canadian space agencies as well as NASA. The telescope is scheduled to be operational for more than five years in space but has enough fuel to last more than 10 years, if all goes well.
In assessing whether we are getting our money’s worth, consider what we stand to gain beyond the stunning pictures of the cosmos as it existed 13 billion years ago. The primary mission of JWST is to better understand the life history of the universe. The universe is ever-expanding since its origin in the Big Bang, casting light from distant objects in reddish tones. Unlike the Hubble Telescope, the Webb is an infrared telescope, making it uniquely sensitive to deep red light and 100 times more powerful. Webb can see much deeper into space and farther back in time than any instrument ever invented on Earth.
JWST will show us galaxies as they were when the universe was less than a billion years old. It will show us galaxies colliding and merging and revealing their chemical secrets. We are going to look straight into black holes and their escaping materials. These are the sights that will help unravel the history of our universe. What price is that alone worth?
A secondary mission of the Webb telescope is to probe for an answer to the age-old question, “Are we alone in the universe?” Webb is already searching for Earth 2.0 — exoplanets with environments similar to Earth capable of sustaining life as we know it. JWST will examine the atmospheres of exoplanets beyond our solar system for oxygen or methane gases that signal living organisms. Though not likely, maybe Webb will find evidence of other sentient beings. JWST offers the best shot to date at such discoveries.
This new eye on the universe will test, challenge and develop the science of physics. Hundreds of years ago, the first telescopes revealed that the Earth is not the center of the universe. Today’s better understanding of how the universe works is what, for better or worse, brought us computers and cell phones. Who knows how Webb may retool human knowledge, but experience suggests it will most certainly affect our learning curve.
The James Webb Space Telescope project has enthralled the imaginations of people all over the globe. A recent online poll found that three in five Americans believe the Webb telescope has been a good investment. Only 13 percent of those polled thought it was a bad investment.
Most people were not even thinking about the price tag when the James Webb Space Telescope lit up our screens with remarkable detail of emerging stellar births and individual stars within the cosmic clouds of Carina Nebula, near the center of the universe. “Astonishment in the face of incredible beauty,” as one observer poetically described the image. And this is just a sneak preview of what is yet to come.
The Webb telescope is likely to change how we understand the universe, refine our knowledge of physics and cosmology, and rewrite our textbooks. Webb is offering our best chance yet to finally answer the question: “Are we alone?”
Even aside from the eventual scientific and economic spinoffs, simply better knowing our place in the universe cannot be measured in dollars. Yes, indeed, the James Webb Space Telescope is worth the price and so much more.

Alex Jones’ media company files for bankruptcy amid trial
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ media company Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy on Friday, but his attorney said it should not disrupt the defamation damages trial underway in Texas that seeks to force Jones to pay $150 million or more to the family of one of the children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School attack.
The trial in Austin, where Jones lives and Free Speech Systems is based, wrapped up its first week of testimony Friday and is expected to conclude next week. The bankruptcy filing was announced by Jones’ attorney Andino Reynal late in the day.
Reynal and attorneys for the family suing Jones told Judge Maya Guerra Gamble that the bankruptcy filing would not halt the lawsuit.
The company wants “to put this part of the odyssey behind us so that we have some numbers” set for damages, Reynal said.
Details of the bankruptcy filing were not immediately available.
It is not the first time a bankruptcy filing has come amid litigation against Jones by the Sandy Hook families. In April, Jones’ company Infowars and two more of his business entities filed for bankruptcy protection, which led to a trial delay. Free Speech Systems is the parent company of Infowars.
Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax involving actors aimed at increasing gun control. In both states, judges issued default judgements against Jones without trials because he failed to respond to court orders and turn over documents.
Christopher Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut case, issued a statement Friday evening blasting the bankruptcy filing.
“Just two days before jury selection is due to begin in Connecticut, Mr. Jones has once again fled like a coward to bankruptcy court in a transparent attempt to delay facing the families that he has spent years hurting,” Mattei said. “These families have an endless well of patience and remain determined to hold Mr. Jones accountable in a Connecticut court.”
The trial in Austin is to determine how much Jones should pay for defaming Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, was among the 20 children and six educators who were killed in the country’s deadliest school shooting. They and other Sandy Hook families suing Jones say they have suffered years of harassment and threats resulting from Jones’ repeated false claims that the shooting was a hoax or didn’t happen.
Jones claimed in court records last year that he had a negative net worth of $20 million, but attorneys for Sandy Hook families have painted a different financial picture.
Court records show that Jones’ Infowars store, which sells nutritional supplements and survival gear, made more than $165 million between 2015 and 2018. Jones has also urged listeners on his Infowars program to donate money.

Time to Purge
John and I took today to begin a very ambitious project — an unsentimental deep cleaning. Out with the old, but not in with the new. I already feel much lighter.

Villagers in droves fled their homes in Damari, Birnin-Gwari Local Government of Kaduna State on Friday following continuous attacks on the community by terrorists, Saturday PUNCH reports.
The PUNCH had reported that terrorists attacked Damari town of Kazaga Ward, Birnin-Gwari LGA, where three persons were killed while no fewer than 13 of the villagers were abducted between Monday and Tuesday unchallenged.
In the same community, about three weeks ago, a clash between some bandits and a splinter Boko Haram sect – the Ansaru, had left two locals dead while the casualty figures on the sides of the hoodlums could not be ascertained.
Following the withdrawal of the Ansaru terror group, the community had been in continuous attacks from the terrorists who continued to loots property of the community.
This was contained in a statement by the BEPU chairman, Isaq Kasai.
The statement read in part, “Today (Friday), the people of Damari are fleeing en masse following incessant attacks by terrorists that besieged the farming community of Damari on vengeance mission.”
Thugs attack church
Meanwhile, some suspected thugs reportedly invaded a church, St Brigid Catholic Church, ljesha, Surulere, Lagos, and carted away registration machines, disrupting officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission from carrying out the Continuous Voter Registration.
After the attack, the parish priest of the church reportedly locked up the church for safety.
Some persons who had come to register for their PVCs reportedly hid for fear of attack.
A woman in a video making the rounds on social media said the thugs invaded the venue, adding that they would not allow anyone to continue the process.
According to the social media user, who did not identify herself, the thugs threatened that they would only allow the process to continue if they accepted to vote for the thug’s preferred candidate.
However, the Lagos State Police Command has faulted the report, noting that hoodlums did not invade the church to disrupt the process.
In a statement on his Twitter handle, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, noted that the INEC officials were assigned to another location and not the church’s premises. | https://punchng.com/terrorists-attack-kaduna-community-villagers-flee/ | 2022-07-30T01:27:05Z | https://punchng.com/terrorists-attack-kaduna-community-villagers-flee/ | true | 1 |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia lawmakers passed up the chance Friday to become the first state to approve new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last month removing its protected status as a constitutional right.
The Senate’s adoption of at least two of a dozen offered amendments means the bill that originated in the House of Delegates must now go back to that chamber for consideration.
Several Republican-led states had “trigger” abortion bans in place in advance of the court ruling, but West Virginia lawmakers are taking action because of legal uncertainty over whether a ban from the 1800s that was upended by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision could be enforced now.
As in other states dominated by socially conservative lawmakers, there’s not much question about whether abortion will be banned generally now that states have the power to do so — but whether the ban will apply to pregnancies caused by rape or incest.
In South Carolina, a ban without the exceptions has been introduced. In Arkansas, outgoing GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson would prefer to add them to the ban that’s already in effect, but he has balked at asking lawmakers to address the issue in a special session.
The high-profile example of a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio, a state without an exception for rape in its abortion restrictions, who traveled to Indiana for an abortion has amplified the debate.
Tension over the question gripped the Indiana Senate in a session that began Thursday and finally wrapped up after midnight. A final vote there is expected Saturday on the bill, which includes exceptions for rape and incest.
The West Virginia bill, which some lawmakers have complained was not vetted by any Senate committees, would ban abortions except in case of rape or incest.
The Senate approved an amendment sponsored by a physician, Kanawha County Republican Tom Takubo, that removes criminal penalties of three to 10 years upon conviction for any medical provider who performs an abortion.
Takubo said the bill already would subject a physician to the difficult loss of their license for performing an illegal abortion. He also said West Virginia already has problems retaining medical professionals, and if the criminal penalties are retained it could have a chilling effect on the practice.
Another approved amendment offered by Greenbrier County Democrat Stephen Baldwin would allow a minor to report a rape to someone covered as a “mandated reporter,” such as a pastor or school counselor, who would be required to report the case to authorities. The House version requires law enforcement to be directly contacted.
The measure allows exemptions for victims of rape and incest up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. The bill also provides other exceptions for an ectopic pregnancy, a “nonmedically viable fetus” or a medical emergency that could kill or cause a substantial and irreversible injury.
The state’s only abortion clinic initially stopped offering abortions after the latest ruling, but resumed this month as it mounted a court challenge on whether the old ban applied. On July 18, a Charleston judge barred the state from enforcing the ban, ruling it had been superseded by a slew of conflicting modern laws such as a ban on abortion after 20 weeks.
Republican Gov. Jim Justice called the special legislative session to consider an abortion ban. He didn’t indicate whether he would sign the bill that passed the House, and the governor’s office didn’t immediately return an email Thursday requesting comment on that version.
On Friday, people seated in the packed galleries above the Senate chamber shouted “shame on you” when the afternoon session went into recess almost as soon as it started.
When the debate finally began hours later, Democrats complained that they did not have a final version of the Senate’s bill prior to the start of Friday’s session that included a dozen amendments.
“This has been a slow-motion train wreck,” Senate Democratic leader Stephen Baldwin of Greenbrier County. “This bill would put doctors in jail for doing their job and for following their oath.”
In Indiana on Thursday, there was a nearly four-hour delay in a Senate session as lawmakers met privately to discuss the exceptions, which were ultimately left in over strong objections from some conservative lawmakers.
“Exceptions equal death for unborn innocent children,” said Sen. Mike Young, the Republican who filed an amendment that would only allow abortions to protect the life of the mother.
Eighteen Republicans ultimately joined 10 Democrats in voting to keep the rape and incest exceptions in the proposal. But the votes of many of the Republicans who voted for eliminating the exceptions will be needed for the bill to advance to the House. If not enough switch, it could keep abortion would remain legal in the state for now.
A final vote there is expected Saturday.
While legislative battles over abortion have begun, much of the fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision has played out in the court system. In Louisiana, enforcement began of a near-total ban but was halted by a judge earlier this month. On Friday, a judge ruled enforcement could resume — though it was not immediately clear when.

‘Stranger Things’ Star Gaten Matarazzo Loves Pineapple Pizza — Here’s Why He’s Right
Stranger Things made Gaten Matarazzo a star. He auditioned to play Mike instead of Dustin on the hit Netflix series, but he owns his part and has become a fan favorite on the show. We’re not sure if Matarazzo’s love for pineapple pizza will affect fans’ opinions of him, but professional chefs stand by his favorite topping.
Gaten Matarazzo declares his love for pineapple pizza: “I want people to try it”
Matarazzo has some thoughts on pizza toppings. And if you ever wondered if he’s a vegetarian, his favorite toppings confirm he is not.
If he’s ordering from a run-of-the-mill chain, he’ll load up on toppings to cover up the lack of quality. When he chooses a pie with better ingredients, Matarazzo dials down how many toppings he picks, as he told Yahoo.
His grandfather wouldn’t approve, but Matarazzo’s favorite pizza toppings is pineapple. Specifically, a pineapple, bacon, and pepperoni topping trio.
“My grandfather [would say] I’m not allowed to put pineapple on pizza, but my favorite is pineapple, pepperoni, and bacon,” he told Yahoo. “Here’s the thing: I understand the hate. It’s a reasonable hate, but I want people to try it and not think about the fact that it’s pizza. Just put pineapple and bacon together with pepperoni — all three of them on a pie — and it’s pretty great.”
His family appears divided about whether a tropical fruit belongs on a pie, but chefs defend Matarazzo’s love of pineapple pizza.

Chefs stand by Matarazzo’s favorite pizza topping
Pineapple on pizza might not be for everyone, but Matarazzo’s affinity for pineapple, bacon, and pepperoni pies has some defenders. The sweetness and acidity of pineapple combined with the saltiness of cured meats make for a complex taste mix that meat alone doesn’t provide.
The key is treating the pineapple properly. Kurt Evans, chef at Down North pizza shop, ignores canned pineapples. He won’t even use fresh, raw fruit, which dries up in the high heat of a pizza oven, as he told Food & Wine. He cooks raw pineapple with sugar in a pan of bacon grease before it goes on a pizza.
Emily Hyland, founder of Pizza Loves Emily restaurants, stands by Matarazzo’s pizza choice. Her go-to for a sweet-salty balance? Pineapple kimchi with pepperoni, as Men’s Health reported, similar to Matarazzo’s favorite pizza toppings.
Matarazzo is all about following the rules on the Stranger Things set. But as Hyland told Men’s Health and as Alton Brown once tweeted, there are no rules about pizza. Matarazzo likes sweet pineapple and salty meats on his pizza, and professional chefs stand by his choice.
Will Matarazzo have more pizza-eating free time after Stranger Things Season 4? Fans won’t have to wait long to see if Dustin survives for Season 5.
When will Season 4, Volume 2 stream on Netflix, and who will survive for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5?
Those are two big questions about Stranger Things Season 4, Vol. 2, but just one has a decisive answer.
Vol. 2 follows Netflix tradition and starts streaming at midnight Pacific on July 1, 2022. The second part of Season 4 contains just two episodes, but both are movie-length, per Cosmopolitan. Episode 8 is nearly 1 hour, 30 minutes, while the season finale clocks in at 2 hours, 30 minutes.
As for who dies in Stranger Things Season 4? It’s all just speculation, but eagle-eyed fans have some theories.
A seemingly innocent behind-the-scenes look at the Stranger Things set fueled speculation that Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) leaked Vecna’s next victim.
Noah Schnapp teased deaths (plural) in the second part of Season 4. Mason Dye (Jason Carver) just joined the cast for Season 4, but he got a sneak peek at Episode 8 and said “insane” is the only way to describe the final two episodes.
The second part of Stranger Things Season 4 drops soon. Order your favorite pizza — a Matarazzo pineapple special or otherwise — and dig in as you watch to see if Dustin and his friends survive for Season 5.

(The Hill) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk confidentiality filed a countersuit against Twitter, after the company sued him for terminating a deal to buy the social media platform for $44 billion earlier this month, according to multiple news reports.
The Friday countersuit was not made publicly available. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment to The Hill on the development.
Sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal Musk counterclaims that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter before the deal was expected to go through.
People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the allegation that the number of monetizable daily active users was changed by Twitter after the deal was agreed upon. In addition, the Journal reported Musk claimed that Twitter did not respond when the SpaceX CEO’s team made inquiries on spam number data were not sufficiently answered by the social media company, according to the Journal.
Musk’s counsel argued that Twitter violated their agreement on several counts, including that: the social media company had fired two executives and therefore went against their agreement; Twitter did not share adequate information regarding bots on Twitter’s platform; and that they have made incorrect statements regarding bots on their site.
Days after Musk terminated the deal, the social media company filed a lawsuit against the billionaire.
“These claims are pretexts and lack any merit,” Twitter’s lawsuit claimed. “Musk, by contrast, has been acting against this deal since the market started turning, and has breached the merger agreement repeatedly in the process.”
The five day trial between the two will start beginning Oct. 17. | https://www.upmatters.com/news/national/musk-confidentially-countersues-twitter-over-nixed-acquisition-bid-reports/ | 2022-07-30T01:43:20Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/national/musk-confidentially-countersues-twitter-over-nixed-acquisition-bid-reports/ | false | 16 |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Chase Young will not be ready to play Week 1 for the Washington Commanders, coach Ron Rivera confirmed Friday in ruling out the standout pass-rusher for at least the season opener.
Young could miss more than just Washington’s first game, Sept. 11 against Jacksonville, if he goes on injured reserve or remains on the physically unable to perform list. The 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year is working back from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee.
“It’s unfortunate,” Rivera said. “But it was a serious injury, obviously, with surgery, and he’s doing everything he’s supposed to.”
Rivera said Young, who injured the knee Nov. 14 against Tampa Bay, did not have a setback in his recovery and is on schedule.
“He’s on time as far as where the doctors think he should be, and as he gets better and better we can update you,” he said. “But right now, he’s right where he needs to be.”
Rivera initially said he expected Young to start the season on the PUP list, which would mean missing the first four games of the season. After opening against the Jaguars, the Commanders play Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas — games Young would also miss if he lands on IR.
Young had part of his left patellar tendon grafted into his right knee to help fix the tear. It’s unclear if that’s why he’s behind tight end Logan Thomas, who tore multiple ligaments in his left knee later last season, though Rivera called them different injuries.
Rivera has refused put a timeline on Young getting cleared to play.
“I don’t think there’s a fair timetable,” Rivera said. “You guys want me to give you number. I can’t give you a number. I don’t want to put pressure on the young man to try to hit a number that I can’t give you.”
Young, 23, said early in the offseason he anticipated being ready for Week 1. But he struck a more conservative tone during workouts last month.
“Obviously I want to be back there as fast as I can, but right now I’m just taking it one day at a time and I’m getting better fast,” Young said. “I can’t rush it.”
It seemed clear earlier in the week Young would not be coming back any time soon, when Rivera pronounced the Ohio State product the furthest away of Washington’s injured players. Starting center Chase Roullier, the closest after breaking his left fibula last year, was activated off the PUP list and returned to practice Friday.
Young is on the field working with other injured teammates and is still involved in other preparation aspects.
“We’re all watching film together, talking through things,” fellow defensive lineman Daron Payne said. “When he gets back out there, it’ll just be him getting a feel of rushing with me and rushing with other guys.”
Young won’t see game action until he’s fully healthy, something Rivera reiterated in line with the cautious approach the organization, doctors and trainers are taking with the face of the franchise.
Payne is not concerned about how Young is facing the prospect of such an extended absence.
“I feel like it’s just a mindset thing,” he said. “Chase, he’s got a real good head on his shoulders and I feel like he’s just ready to get back out there and show everybody what he’s got.”
NOTES: Guard Trai Turner missed a second consecutive practice with a quadriceps injury. Rivera said safety Jeremy Reaves and a few other players who didn’t practice were dinged up but not expected to be out long. … Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan is set to announce his retirement at a news conference Saturday. A first-round pick of Washington’s in 2011, he spent 10 of his 11 NFL seasons with the team before playing last year for Philadelphia. Kerrigan, who turns 34 Aug. 16, had 466 tackles and 97 sacks in 176 regular-season and playoff games.

Full Cast & Creative Team Announced for World Premiere of Marcus Gardley's Modern Verse Translation of KING LEAR
LEAR is set in San Francisco’s Fillmore District from the eminent domain crisis through to the subsequent displacement of the 1960s.
California Shakespeare Theater has announced the full cast and creative team for LEAR, the world premiere modern verse translation of Williams Shakespeare's King Lear by playwright and Oakland-native Marcus Gardley (black odyssey at Cal Shakes). Co-directed by Cal Shakes' Artistic Director Eric Ting and Aurora Theater Company's Associate Artistic Director Dawn Monique Williams-and starring James A. Williams in the titular role-LEAR is presented in partnership with Oakland Theater Project and Play On Shakespeare. LEAR performs at the Bruns Memorial Amphitheater (100 California Shakespeare Theater Way, Orinda) September 7-October 2, 2022. Press night will be held on Wednesday, September 14 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets (ranging from $35-$70) are available online at calshakes.org or by calling 510-548-9666 (Tuesday-Friday from 2-6 p.m.). Ticket prices are subject to change without notice.
Set in San Francisco's Fillmore District from the eminent domain crisis through to the subsequent displacement of the 1960s, LEAR is Gardley's deeply personal deconstruction of the classic story of power, betrayal, and madness. The production-infused with live jazz music accompaniment composed by Resident Artistic Director at SF Jazz, Marcus Shelby-reckons with uncomfortable legacies, with the consequences of our actions, and with the vulnerability and ultimate resilience of the human heart to find its way back again.
"Translating King Lear was a dream as it is my favorite Shakespearean drama," said Marcus Gardley. "I am elated to be able to share this timeless story with the Bay Area and to have two of my favorite directors at the helm-Eric Ting and Dawn Monique Williams. We have the honor of presenting this epic and placing it in The Bay at a pivotal time in our community's history. The Bay Area is the perfect location for LEAR because of themes concerning class, the wealth gap, and the importance of family, community, and legacy. I am certain that audiences will have an incredible time experiencing LEAR. It has been a long time since black odyssey and it's great to be back home doing another classic!"
"My time at Cal Shakes as much as anything has been defined by the community of artists that have graced our stage," said Cal Shakes Artistic Director and LEAR Co-Director Eric Ting. "I consider it the greatest gift to welcome Marcus Gardley back with his stunning re-imagining of King Lear, and to collaborate with the extraordinary Dawn Monique Williams as Co-Director! It's sure to be an exquisite conclusion to my tenure at Cal Shakes and I hope a real celebration of this craft-this community-we call theater."
Adds Co-Director Dawn Monique Williams: "Marcus Gardley is one of the greatest playwrights of our time. His stunning poetry and limitless dramatic imagination bring such heart to his work. As the president of Shakepeare's fan club, I can think of no better marriage than that of these two Bards. This LEAR all at once delights in wit, shatters the heart, and asks us all to take care of home."
Starring James A. Williams as Lear, the cast includes (in alphabetical order): Michael J. Asberry (Gloucester), Emma Van Lare (Regan), Dov Hassan (Cornwall), Sam Jackson (Cordelia/The Comic), Leontyne Mbele-Mbong (Goneril), Cathleen Riddley (Kent), Kenny Scott (Albany), Jomar Tagatac (Edmund), Dane Troy (Edgar), and Velina Brown (Black Queen).
The creative team for LEAR includes Tanya Orellana (Scenic Designer), Lux Haac (Costume Designer), Cherelle Guyton (Wigs, Hair, and Make Up Designer) Scott Bolman (Lighting Designer), Elton Bradman (Sound Designer), Dave Maier (Fight Director), Jeunée Simon (Intimacy Director), Wesley Apfel (Stage Manager), Christina Hogan (Assistant Stage Manager), Brandon Yang (Production Assistant), Haley Miller (Production Manager), Philippa Kelly (Dramaturg), Nina M. Fay (COVID Safety Manager & Understudy Ensemble Director), and Casting Collective (Casting).

He won the 2022 WGA award for best adapted longform series for MAID (Netflix). In 2019, he was named the Library Laureate of San Francisco by the city's mayor and was the recipient of the 2019 Doris Duke Artist Award.

BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — The effects of the pandemic, inflation, and numerous shortages continue to impact nearly every aspect of life.
The unprecedented turmoil means more people find themselves without a job or struggling to make ends meet.
“What we saw during and after the pandemic was there were a lot of people who had never had to utilize food pantries or assistance before but because of sudden job loss or different situations they had to reach out and ask for that assistance,” said, Trena Dacal, the executive director of United Way of Southern WV.
Dacal said the people who utilize their resources normally fall into two categories. They are either in poverty or in A.L.I.C.E., which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
Those are people whose income is below a certain level but above the poverty level which means that they struggle to make ends meet. paycheck to paycheck they are living very sparsely and so when wages don’t increase to meet inflation it affects their budgets,” said Dacal.
Now more people than ever are searching for help, Dacal said thankfully they have not seen a substantial decrease in donations. But more in more people fall into one of those two categories.
While as phones continue to ring off the hook she anticipates there are even more people in need of help.
“West Virginians are proud, they are very proud to help their neighbor, but they are hesitant to ask for support so one thing they do need to know is the 211 support line is completely confidential,” said Dacal.
One thing Dacal worries about is with more and more people in need of help, there is a greater chance for people to become dependent on that help.
“It is just a self-awareness that you need that there is an end to that assistance and so gradually with assistance from 211 if you need to to get through whatever tough patch you are having you have to come to terms that whatever assistance you are getting from the state or federal government will come to an end,” said Dacal.
Dacal says their 24-hour 211 hotline is available for anyone in need of resources. | https://www.wvnstv.com/top-stories/top-stories-beckley/volunteer-organizations-see-increased-demand-for-resources-amidst-inflation/ | 2022-07-30T01:57:50Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/top-stories/top-stories-beckley/volunteer-organizations-see-increased-demand-for-resources-amidst-inflation/ | true | 1 |

Cumberland's bats bring the thunder before Mother Nature could in win over Johnston in state Little League tourney
NORTH PROVIDENCE — The storm that came in prior to Cumberland batting in the bottom of the fourth inning was only the second most powerful display to hit Lee Romano Field in Monday night’s Rhode Island Little League consolation-bracket semifinal.
Cumberland got through district play with an epic display of offensive prowess. After a 3-2 loss to Portsmouth in its opening game of state play on Saturday, the offense came through on Monday in a big way against Johnston. Eight of Cumberland’s first nine hitters reached and it earned a spot in Wednesday’s consolation final with an 8-2 win.
“We’re just trying to win our games and keep going,” Cumberland shortstop Tyler Lamora said. “We want to win the losers’ bracket and go to the finals, then hopefully go and win that.”
Cumberland had high hopes going into the state tournament but was quickly brought back to reality after a tough loss against Portsmouth on Saturday night.
The team quickly shook it off and went back to work on Sunday, having a practice to keep their heads straight. It clearly worked.
Johnston — which was victimized by a perfect game in its opener — scrapped two runs on the board on a two-run single by Aiden Neil that scored Lucca Ricci and Jordan Diclo, but Cumberland was hardly fazed by the deficit.
All it took was an aggressive offensive approach, swinging early and often.
Lamora and Cameron Stack hit singles to open things, with Cumberland starter Ryan Amaral getting a run back with an RBI single. After Dylan Stack was hit by a pitch, Paxton Chenevert roped a two-run double. A wild pitch and error on the play scored Dylan Stack and Chenevert.
Evan Vitti singled to reignite the rally and after a flyout, a walk to Tim Bradly loaded the bases. Lamora hit a sacrifice fly and Cameron Stack capped things off with a two-run single before the inning came to a close.
“The bats were on fire in the first inning. No one could stop them,” Lamora said. “When the bats are on fire, no one can get by us.”
“It was crazy,” Amaral said. “We just had to see ball, hit ball. That’s what gets us hyped. We just keep going and we win.”
Armed with a six-run cushion, Amaral looked different heading out to the mound. After the game he admitted to some nerves at the start, but he was in cruise control before being lifted after two more innings of work.
“I knew what I had to fix with the mechanics,” Amaral said. “I was fine.”
Amaral was relieved by Dylan Stack in the top of the fourth but before Cumberland could bat in the bottom half, a storm hit that caused a 30-plus minute delay.
The teams eventually got back on the field and Cumberland remained locked in. Dylan Stack threw the fourth, fifth and sixth before Pedro Cardoso closed the game out.
“We have a lot of arms,” Lamora said. “We have around seven pitchers and we knew we could finish his game off strong and not waste any of our pitchers.”
Lost in the Cumberland win was the performance of Johnston reliever Fabian Aleman, who wasn’t charged with a run in his four-plus innings of work. The loss ended their summer of fun, but Johnston let out a large cheer in the outfield following a postgame speech from coach Jamie Ricci.
Cumberland also let out cheers but didn’t want to celebrate too long. Wednesday’s win puts it one game closer to winning a title, but a loss would end its summer.
In the aftermath of the game, Cumberland didn’t know its next opponent but that didn’t seem to matter.
“We can definitely play under pressure,” Amaral said. “That’s when we’re at our best.”
“It’s about Cumberland,” Lamora said. “We’re not worried about who we play. Whoever we play, we can beat them.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2680587095907/cumberland-s-bats-bring-the-thunder-before-mother-nature-could-in-win-over-johnston-in-state-little-league-tourney | 2022-07-30T02:17:02Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2680587095907/cumberland-s-bats-bring-the-thunder-before-mother-nature-could-in-win-over-johnston-in-state-little-league-tourney | true | 2 |
Four months after Will Smith shocking slap of Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Academy Awards, the “King Richard” actor has sparked another debate by releasing a nearly 6-minute video Friday, publicly apologizing to Rock on camera for the first time.
Within hours of the video’s release, some people online praised Smith for the courage and humility he demonstrated with his apology, but others questioned the movie star’s sincerity, even as he expressed profound remorse.
Indeed, at points in the video, Smith appeared to reach deep within himself to convey the sometimes nonstop anguish that a person, known to usually be positive and decent, can feel when they make a mistake or a choice that causes serious harm to someone else.
“I’m deeply remorseful, and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself,” Smith said. “I’m human. I made a mistake and I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of (expletive).”
In his video, Smith responded to questions he has received since the March 27 awards show about whether he feels bad about letting fans and people close to him down. He said that “disappointing people is my central trauma.”
“I hate when I let people down,” Smith said. “It hurts me psychologically and emotionally that I don’t live up to people’s image and impression of me. … So I would say to those people: I know it was confusing. I know it was shocking, but I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting out light and love and joy into the world.”
The notorious slap occurred on the live televised show after Rock cracked a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her hair loss, which is caused by alopecia.
After smacking Rock, Smith returned to his seat in the front of the theater and yelled at Rock to “keep my wife’s name out your (expletive) mouth.” Within the hour, Smith returned to the stage to collect his long-sought best actor Oscar, awarded to him for his role in “King Richard.”
Backlash mounted overnight and Smith’s attack on Rock became a national talking point through the rest of the week. The actor issued an apology to the comedian the following day, while also saying that the joke about his wife was “too much for me to bear” and he “reacted emotionally.” By the end of the week, Smith had resigned from the Academy and acknowledged that his sudden public attack had been “shocking, painful, and inexcusable.”
The following week, the Academy’s Board of Governors voted to ban Smith from Academy events for the next 10 years.
In the four months since, Rock has made brief jokes at stand-up performances referencing the moment, but he hasn’t spoken about it in length, People reported. He has said he’ll “talk about it at some point.”
Some on Friday questioned why Smith chose to release the video now, four months “too late.” Others wondered why he revealed that he had reached out to Rock to personally apologize, but that Smith said Rock is “not ready to talk.” Some wondered whether Smith was somehow trying to put pressure on Rock to respond and to even offer his forgiveness?
Smith said in the video, “So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”
In other ways, Smith wasn’t as willing to open up. For example, he said he wasn’t ready to go into what he was thinking in the moment he chose to react to Rock’s joke with violence — whether, for example, he felt his own ego or reputation was under attack or whether some simmering resentment toward Rock or anyone else took hold.
“I’m not gonna try to unpack all of that right now but I can say to you, there was no part of me that thought that was the right way to behave in that moment,” Smith added.
Smith also apologized to others affected by slapping Rock. That includes Rock’s mother and family, and the other nominees and winners that night. Smith noted that his attack overshadowed the rest of the ceremony.
“To all my fellow nominees … it breaks my heart to have stolen and tarnished your moment,” Smith said. However, everyone that night paid close attention to how Smith didn’t apologize to Rock when he got up to accept his best actor Oscar. Addressing why he didn’t apologize to Rock in his acceptance speech for Best Actor, Smith said, “I was fogged out by that point. It’s all fuzzy.”
Smith also apologized to his wife and children, “for all the heat that I brought on all of us,” and to others, he promised that in time, they’ll be able to be friends again. | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/07/29/in-chris-rock-apology-will-smith-reveals-the-agony-of-hurting-others/ | 2022-07-30T02:18:05Z | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/07/29/in-chris-rock-apology-will-smith-reveals-the-agony-of-hurting-others/ | true | 3 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bonnie Hunt’s approach to comedy deserves a patent. She's drolly forthright but reliably good-hearted, and gives viewers credit for their intelligence as demonstrated by pretty much everything she's acted in, written or both.
What Hunt has done for adults in projects such as “Jerry Maguire," “Dave” and TV's “Life with Bonnie,” she now generously extends to children — and the grownups who love them — with “Amber Brown.”
Based on the mop-topped character created by Paula Danziger in a bestselling line of books, the new Apple TV+ series out Friday with 10 episodes was written and directed by Hunt, who's also in charge as the showrunner.
While she's acted and voiced parts in kid-oriented movies including “Jumanji" and the “Toy Story” and “Cars” franchises, “Amber Brown” is the first such project that's hers. But Hunt says she's always envisioned a family audience when she writes and considers storytelling a privilege.
“I grew up on TV and movies and I know how powerful it can be as a child," she said. "When I would see my parents watch something like ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ or ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show'....they were just in those moments, free of stress and worry and just laughing.”
Family is key for Hunt, a former oncology nurse. She's a devoted aunt to a large brood of nieces and nephews, and credits her mom with nudging her to write something for children. Alice Hunt, who died last November at age 95, became familiar to TV viewers with her weekly video visits from Chicago to Hunt's 2008-10 syndicated talk show.
“Mom's in everything I write, all her humor, wisdom. My mom raised seven kids in the city with no help” after early widowhood, Hunt said. “I think all my siblings are good, kind, decent people, and that’s a pretty big accomplishment. I always told her that.”
Hunt had begun writing a series about an eccentric aunt when she ran into an executive with a production company that had the rights to the Amber Brown books. They joined forces, and Hunt was introduced to the family of the late author, who died in 2004 at age 59.
“When we met, Bonnie seemed like a great fit to fill Paula’s very large (and sequined) shoes,” Carrie Danziger, the author’s niece and inspiration for the Amber books, said in an email. “Just like Paula, Bonnie is a very dedicated and loving aunt" and has the comedy know-how to capture the books' spirit.
Hunt made changes (with the family's blessing, she notes) that soften some of the harsher edges of Amber's life. The youngster still yearns for her divorced parents to reunite, but their relationship is less bitter than on the page and they're somewhat more attuned to their daughter's feelings.
Amber is two years older then her 9-year-old book version and is starting middle school. She's also a budding artist, “almost a savant,” as Hunt puts it, expressing her deepest feelings in vibrant sketches that come to animated life and show what she can't tell.
“But she also has a video diary, so we have what she can say out loud and what she can’t,” Hunt said. The combination gives the show a fresh look, but there's a deliberate effort to avoid the overly hip and hyper tone of many tween programs.
“I wanted a little bit of that ‘Andy Griffith’ quality that I can still watch today over and over again, the timelessness of it, the pacing of it, the heart and soul, and the humor that comes from the truth,” she said.
Race isn't a theme in the series, but Amber's family is multiethnic and the cast is diverse. Her dad is played by Michael Yo, who is of Black and Asian ancestry, with Sarah Drew ("Grey's Anatomy") as her mom. Carsyn Rose, who boasts an exuberant crown of curls, stars as Amber, who in the books is depicted as a freckle-faced, white kid with a mass of red hair.
When the casting call went out to agents, Hunt said, the characters were identified only as “mom, dad, friend” and without further description. In Rose's audition, she showed "such a beautiful quality, very authentic," and Hunt was later impressed by Drew and Yo.
“They became the family,” Hunt said.
With the entertainment industry finally opening up to diversity and inclusion, “now I just want to show it. I don’t want to tell it," Hunt said. “It just is, because it’s beautiful and it’s part of us.”
Hunt writes steadily and does voice acting but has been largely off screen in recent years, save for a few scattered roles such as in the miniseries “Escape at Dannemora.” She's made spending time with her family circle a priority, and lived with her mom in Chicago during the pandemic and until her final days.
Hunt yearns to embrace acting again, and those familiar with her work know she brings even a small role or single line to life. That includes the cynical sister to Renée Zellweger in “Jerry Maguire” or a commanding White House tour guide (“We’re walking. We’re walking. We’re stopping,” a line Hunt improvised) in the satire “Dave.”

7 points shy of playoffs last season, Centereach football continues upward trajectory
There’s a sign located above the doorway that leads from the Centereach locker room to the football field that reads “Be the change!”
If there’s one thing that Centereach would like to change about last season was how it ended.
The Cougars needed a win in their last game to qualify for the postseason. But Centereach lost, 20-13, at Deer Park and ended with a 4-4 record.
“Seven points,” junior Alec Kiernan, “is a tight margin not to make the playoffs.”
Third-year coach Adam Barrett added: “It was tough to swallow, but in the end, we took a step in the right direction.”
Indeed. Centereach, seeded 11th in Suffolk Division II this season, returns six starters on offense and eight on defense.
“The kids have been working hard,” Barrett said. “The senior leadership has been outstanding.”
Coaches around the division are taking notice. North Babylon’s Terry Manning recently mentioned Centereach as a team to watch.
Still, Barrett knows how tough things are week-in and week-out in the division.
“Our kids have confidence,” said Barrett, a Centereach alum (Class of 1998). “But this is not a division where we are going into any game saying, ‘We’re going to roll over somebody.’ ”
The Cougars will look to Kiernan at running back and outside linebacker. The 6-foot, 220-pound junior ran for 810 yards and made 52 tackles last season.
“He does everything for us on both sides of the ball,” said Barrett of Kiernan. “He’s one of our best tacklers and he runs hard. He’s also an outstanding leader.”
Centereach will count on senior receiver and defensive back Shawn McFarland. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder had 30 receptions a year ago and added 40 tackles and four interceptions.
“He has great athleticism and good hands,” said assistant coach Paul Lettieri. “He attacks the ball and is tough to beat one-on-one.”
Senior WR/OLB Rob Montgomery is Centereach’s top returning tackler with 55 stops last season. Barrett and Co. also are hoping for big contributions from seniors Brahim Fennane (OL/DL), Kevin Amaya (RB/LB) and Aidan Podrang (OL/LB). Junior Jay Morwood will start at quarterback, and sophomore Josh Washington is a 6-foot-3 receiver and defensive back who should see playing time as well.
“We have amazing coaches, and we feel more like a family this year,” McFarland said. “A big family.”
Although the big family has big goals, its players are smart enough to realize they have to take things slow.
“We just have to start by winning our first game [home against Smithtown West on Friday, Sept. 2],” McFarland said. “Then we just go from there and try to get better every day. We’d love to finish above .500.”
For an upstart team that has gone 10-30 in its last five seasons combined in Suffolk II, that would be an impressive change. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/high-school/football/7-points-shy-of-playoffs-last-season-centereach-football-continues-upward-trajectory-x25642 | 2022-07-30T02:22:17Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/high-school/football/7-points-shy-of-playoffs-last-season-centereach-football-continues-upward-trajectory-x25642 | false | 1 |
The Cavaliers have it all to play for as the powerhouse club battles it out to make the grand finals in both of the Tasmanian Netball League competitions.
The Cavaliers' opens side are in a preliminary final as they welcome Cripps to the Silverdome on Saturday at 11.30am. Last week's loss in the qualifying final to Northern Hawks ensured they would have to take the longer route to the grand final.

Cripps will be no push-over after the opens' third-place side pushed the unbeaten Hawks to within a point back in round seven and five points in round 21.
The Launceston side's 19-and-unders are also headed to Devon for the preliminary final on Sunday at 11.30am as the Cavs look to continue their fairytale run into the decider.
The third-place side in the regular season accounted for Karana 54-35 in the elimination final while Devon were defeated by Cripps 43-39 in the qualifying final. The young Cavs would have to claim their third win against Devon this season to book their spot in the decider.
Put it all together and the stakes could not be higher for Cavaliers.
"We do believe this group [19-and-unders] is very talented and we're coming into form at the right time of the season so its very exciting, we look forward to playing Devon on their home territory," Cavs' Dannie Carstens said.
"It's a huge weekend for our club."
The Cavaliers are seeing the silver linings of the preliminary final appearance as they aim to secure the fourth all-Northern decider since 2019 in the opens' competition.
"In order to beat the Hawks, we've got to have the last few things that we've got to work on right and the only way to work on it is a pressure environment," Carstens said.
"If you're not going to get it right now, you probably don't deserve to be in grand finals.
"Cripps are doing some good things in their game as well so there's no better preparation than coming into a team like that if you want to beat the best."
OTHER NEWS: Deanna Wadley reaches 150 games for Cavaliers
With a side that has seen many finals encounters in recent years, the reigning premiers are not taking their experience for granted.
"These girls have a lot of experience which does count for a lot in finals, they've all been in numerous semis, prelims and grand finals where the pressure has been on.
"We'll certainly be looking for those athletes to step up this weekend, they've got to keep doing what they have been doing but doing it better."

Bleep Blop. A word-of advice about my people cohorts. Men out there who are finding women are also dealing with a lot of spiders, very ditching the brand new strain and you may presenting their real self will generate your shine better than just about any filter previously could.
The fresh new Travelers
Left, left, leftover, left… BAM! You strike dating silver. You’ve not seen particularly a top caliber out of dating prospective when you look at the at least a fortnight from politely swiping “thank you so much, second.” Smart, effective, down-to-earth, comedy, glamorous, any it is that you’re into the, this person possess they. You are elated. The brand new speak goes well, you common witty openers, complimented for each other’s pet, and it supply the “I’m checking out having per week, your home is here in the event? That’s chill!“-range.
The new a lot of a great whirlwind relationship paves answer to the brand new downs of being deserted. While within the a good devote your daily life and simply want a small bust out-of excitement, upcoming go out aside! It can be the start of the next grandkid’s bedtime reports (omit the fresh new Tinder area regardless of if, you came across during the good manga collection certainly).
The fresh new Expat Macho
Gym presents sugar daddy dating online are all certainly matchmaking profiles across the world, however the types of form of machismo we have been sharing here is nearer on Western leader men trope. Chatting with the matches, you’ll be able to disregard how some other the newest charming Japanese bubble out-of niceness is actually compared to the affairs you have is likely to country. Next thing you realize you may be getting entitled a “b*tch butt hoe” to possess perhaps not chatting back punctual adequate. Yourself, We assume d*ck photos. Lulled by an incorrect feeling of coverage in The japanese, I do not.
Better, you can’t. In the beginning, they are going to appear to be normcore at their best. It’s just a question of delay feedback before unpleasant messages begin upcoming.
Do not get me completely wrong, you can find countless a great someone on the market for every single you to definitely person that spoils the relationship app experience, however, the most important thing is you should not let your standards becoming affected by particular mediocre guy negging your because they read the Games immediately following. This new applications don’t want this option with their provider both. Statement them, move forward.
The fresh Partnered One
Tinder in The japanese is particularly unsafe for foreigners who enter matches assuming the other person is looking for a bona-fide intimate commitment. Of several Japanese people, tied to crazy work times that obstruct meeting anyone else, play with Tinder to simply break the ice.
That being said, there are unexpected profiles who happen to be partnered or even in dating however, seek a bit of *cough, cough* front side step. They’re going to be seemingly an honest individual because of the saying their relationships condition within their bio and you will explicitly proclaiming that he’s trying break the ice merely.
Tread cautiously good daters, and you will beware of brand new contours you to start with “I’m when you look at the a romance, I’m not like many boys trying to be sleazy in your area, let’s feel relatives,” as well as 2 minutes later become with “You may be the most wonderful question You will find ever seen, can i get Range?!”
Unless you’re searching for a good “Papa Katsu” (Sugar Father), then unmatch, and stay thankful that you haven’t hitched her or him. Phew, are unmarried ain’t so incredibly bad anyway.

NEW YORK – Major League Baseball told a Senate committee planning a hearing on the sport’s antitrust exemption that it prevents teams from moving without approval and allows the sport to maintain the minor leagues at a wide level.
In addition, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said many terms of minor leaguers' employment are determined by the Major League Baseball Players Association's collective bargaining agreement with MLB.
Leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Manfred on July 18 to explain the impact of potential legislation stripping the sport’s antitrust exemption from the sport’s relationship with minor league players. Manfred said the letter “suggests that Major League Baseball’s antitrust exemption is detrimental to minor league players and that removing the exemption would improve their working conditions.”
“The opposite is true,” Manfred wrote in a 17-page response. “The baseball antitrust exemption has meaningfully improved the lives of minor league players, including their terms and conditions of employment, and has enabled the operators of minor league affiliates to offer professional baseball in certain communities that otherwise could not economically support a professional baseball team.”
Manfred said the exemption was responsible for MLB franchise location stability. Only one MLB team has changed cities since 1972, the Montreal Expos leaving Canada to become the Washington Nationals for the 2005 season.
“In that same period, 14 NBA, 10 NFL and nine NHL franchises have relocated,” he said. “MLB differs from other professional sports leagues because MLB’s antitrust exemption allows it to enforce a rigorous process that ensures club relocation is carefully considered and vetted.”
Sen. Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat who chairs the Judiciary Committee, and Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican who is the ranking minority member, asked for the responses along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. Durbin said Friday the Judiciary Committee intends to hold a hearing.
"It is reasonable to question the premise that MLB is treating the minor leaguers fairly," Durbin said in a statement. "Commissioner Manfred’s response to our bipartisan request for information raises more questions than it answers, and the discrepancies between today’s letter and the reality that minor league players are experiencing reinforce the importance of the committee’s bipartisan review.”
Harry Marino, executive director of Advocates for Minor Leaguers, planned to review Manfred's letter.
“Given that MLB continues to pay most minor league players poverty-level wages and recently eliminated 40 minor league teams, the positions it has taken today are surprising — to say the very least," Marino said in a statement.
Manfred said MLB supports 184 teams in 43 states, including minor league affiliates and partner leagues launched when guaranteed farm teams were cut from 160 to 120 after the 2019 season. The figure does not include teams at training complexes in Florida, Arizona and the Dominican Republic.
“Without the exemption, there would be baseball in far fewer communities, and without MLB’s substantial subsidization, the cost of attending a minor league baseball game would be significantly higher in many places,” he wrote.
MLB said it spends an average of $108,000 annually on each minor leaguer in pay and benefits and 58% of drafted minor leaguers — approximately 615 each year under the current format — receive an initial signing bonus of at least $100,000.
“Those players who do not command larger signing bonuses generally will have very short baseball careers and transition to other careers in their early 20s and are truly seasonal employees who are free to obtain other employment or continue their education during the offseason,” Manfred wrote.
He said that while Advocates for Minor Leaguers claims pay and benefits would improve in a free market, "on the contrary, under such a system, the top prospects ... may do better. But the much larger number of non-prospect players likely would do worse.”
Baseball’s exemption was created by the Supreme Court in the 1922 decision Federal Baseball Club v. National League and was limited by the Curt Flood Act of 1998, which applied antitrust laws to MLB affecting the employment of major league players at the major league level.
In addition, the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 gave leagues permission to collectively sell broadcast rights and the Supreme Court in the 1996 case Brown v. Pro Football said there is a non-statutory exemption from antitrust law for activity governed by a collective bargaining relationship.
“The revenues of most minor league clubs are insufficient to support even the current salaries and benefits of players,” Manfred wrote. “If MLB clubs eliminated or curtailed their financial subsidy to minor league clubs and players were compensated at the minor league level by the club operators at a level commensurate with minor League revenues, minor league player salaries and benefits would be lower, not higher.”
Senators asked about the potential impact of repealing 2018 legislation exempting minor league players from federal minimum wage and overtime laws — the Save America’s Pastime Act.
MLB agreed in papers filed this month in federal court to pay minor leaguers $185 million to settle a lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws. Minimum salaries for players with minor league contracts are $400 weekly at rookie ball, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A.
Top prospects receive substantial signing bonuses. Shortstop Jackson Holliday, the top pick in this year’s draft, agreed to a $8.19 million bonus with Baltimore. First-round picks last year received $1.8 million and up and each of the 73 players who signed among the top 75 selections received at least $747,500.

Alleged spyware creator identified as 24yo
A 24-year-old Australian man has been identified as the alleged mastermind behind intrusive spyware used by domestic violence perpetrators and other criminals.
The Melburnian was 15 when he allegedly created the Imminent Monitor Remote Access Trojan which, once installed, let perpetrators control victims' computers, steal their personal information, and turn on their webcams and microphones.
The program cost about $35, and was allegedly advertised on a forum dedicated to hacking.
About 14,500 people across 128 countries went on to buy it, leading the Australian Federal Police to believe there were tens of thousands of victims of the spyware globally.
In Australia, more than 200 people bought the software, including 14 PayPal users who had domestic violence orders against them. Of those 14 people, 11 made their purchase while the order was active, or within two years of it being issued, police said.
Another purchaser was on the child sex offender register.
Cybercrime operations commander Chris Goldsmid said a key element of the software is its covert nature.
"What this matter highlights is that cybercrime isn't just a crime against computers or computer networks, that these crimes have real-world impacts, including facilitating stalking and domestic violence offending."
In a world first, police uncovered not only the software's users, but victims, of which there were 44 in Australia.
Thirteen people were arrested globally and more than 430 devices were seized.
Officers on July 6 served the Frankston man with a summons to face six charges for his alleged role in creating, selling, and administering the software between 2013 and 2019.
The charges include two counts of dealing with the proceeds of crime to the value of $100,000 or more, and supplying data with the intent to commit a computer offence.
Police will allege the man made up to $400,000 from selling the malware, and most of it went towards consumable and disposable items like food delivery services.
A 42-year-old woman at the Frankston home was also charged with dealing with the proceeds of crime.
Both were summoned to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday. The man's matter was adjourned until August 19.
Police launched Operation Cepheus in 2017 when the FBI and a cyber security firm alerted Australian Federal Police to a suspicious Remote Access Trojan.
The resulting global investigation included more than a dozen law enforcement agencies in Europe.
"This operation is a testament to the importance of working together with the private sector and our law enforcement partners both internationally and domestically to tackle cybercrime in an increasingly digital world," Cmdr Goldsmid said.
The Australian Federal Police shut down the software in 2019 and stopped it operating on all devices across the globe. They also executed two search warrants at the man's home, then in Brisbane.
Police investigations into the matter continue.

ATLANTA — Austin Riley had a homer and three RBIs, Kyle Wright earned his NL-leading 13th victory and the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 on Friday night.
Riley homered in the first and drove in runs with doubles in the third and fifth. He has 11 homers, 24 RBIs and a .427 average this month.
The defending World Series champion Braves began the day in second place and three games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. Atlanta had lost four of seven but improved to 37-14 since June 1, the best record in the major leagues over that span.
Wright has won five straight decisions and has a 2.93 ERA over his last six starts. He gave up five hits and two runs with two walks and five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
The Braves scored three times in the third to take a 4-0 lead. Michael Harris II walked and advanced on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s infield single. Harris scored when Dansby Swanson reached on a fielder's choice and third baseman Josh Rojas made a throwing error to second. Riley followed with an RBI double and Travis d'Arnaud with an RBI single.
Riley put Atlanta up 5-2 in the fifth with a double that drove in Swanson from first. His 29th homer in the first made it 1-0 as the ball barely cleared the left-field wall near the visitor's bullpen.
Riley extended his sizzling streak as he began the night ranked among the top six in the majors in extra-base hits, total bases, homers, hits, slugging percentage and OPS.
Wright pitched out of a jam with two runners in scoring position and no out in the third. Wright struck out Geraldo Perdomo and retired Rojas on a lineout and Alek Thomas on a groundout to end the threat.
He gave up his first hit and run with two outs in the fourth. Daulton Varsho singled to advance a runner to third, and Jake McCarthy singled to trim the lead to 4-1. Perdomo hit his third homer to make it 4-2 in the fifth.
After a single by Rojas chased Wright with two outs in the seventh, Dylan Lee struck out pinch-hitter Jordan Luplow with runners on first and second. Collin McHugh pitched the eighth for Atlanta, and Kenley Jansen recorded a shaky 24th save in 28 chances after facing six batters in the ninth.
Jansen gave up a leadoff triple to Varsho before striking out McCarthy and Carson Kelly and walking Perdomo and Rojas. Luplow struck out swinging to end it.
Madison Bumgarner (6-10) took the loss, surrendering eight hits and five runs — four earned — in six innings. It was in sharp contrast to Bumgarner's last appearance at Truist Park when he pitched a seven-inning no-hitter on April 25, 2021.
Chris Devenski pitched the seventh for Arizona, making his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last year.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Diamondbacks: LHP Tyler Gilbert was placed on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left elbow. He's going to be on the shelf with no activity for several weeks, manager Torey Lovullo said. ... SS Yonny Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. ... RHP Zach Davies (right shoulder inflammation) will make a rehab start early next week.
Braves: 2B Ozzie Albies, on the 60-day disabled list with a right foot fracture, is out of his walking boot and progressing well, manager Brian Snitker said. Albies is working on conditioning but no baseball activities and he isn't expected back until late August or early September. ... RHP Kirby Yates (Tommy John surgery) will make at least one more rehab appearance before he's activated.
UP NEXT
Braves RHP Ian Anderson (8-6, 5.31 ERA) will face Corbin Martin (0-0, 3.93) as the teams play the second game of a three-game series.

A push for Black residents to donate blood is growing in a Hartford brewery. Here’s why that’s a need in Connecticut.
Geanna Jarosz, events coordinator for Hog River Brewing , isn’t content to serve beer out of the small taproom tucked in the rear of 1429 Park St. in Hartford.
She wants “Hartford’s Living Room” to be a catalyst to help bring more Black people, as well as those of other ethnic groups, to donate much-needed blood.
“We have this space and this platform where people in the community are coming over and over again,” Jarosz said. “Why not bring it up in the space and let them spread it that way?”
So while she pours a Parkville Lager, a Thingalingaling Sour or an Ask Your Mother Double IPA, Jarosz is thinking of ways to make Hog River a social force in the city.
She plans her Soulful Sundays at the brewery from 2 to 5 p.m. starting Oct. 23 and running until April, featuring six to 10 women and Black vendors, and her plan is to hold a blood drive in November, to encourage Black people, who historically do not give blood in large numbers, to donate. She wants vendors who will draw people in, as a way to spread the word about blood donation.
“I feel like there’s not enough common places in Hartford where everyone goes,” Jarosz said.
She said she plans to give the blood to the Connecticut Blood Center because it supplies blood to Hartford Hospital, keeping it in the local community.
“Geanna had reached out to us … with the idea of running a blood drive and it was impressive because she had some general knowledge that those with diverse backgrounds weren’t donating at the same rate as those identified as white or Caucasian,” said Jonathan DeCasanova, spokesman for the Connecticut Blood Center, which opened in October 2021 in the Middletown Plaza, 856 Washington St. It’s operated by the Rhode Island Blood Center . Donations can be scheduled at the center on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and every other weekend.
It’s an important issue because, along with a general shortage of blood in the country, there are people, such as those who require regular blood transfusions, who could develop antibodies if blood is not matched to their own antigens as closely as possible, according to Dr. Bruce Sachais, chief medical officer for New York Blood Center Enterprises, which oversees the Connecticut center. That’s why someone of the same ethnic background or ancestry often provides the best match, he said.
“It comes down to genetics — heredity and genetics,” said Jill Alberigo, director of laboratory and special services for the Rhode Island center.
“There’s a lot of other proteins on the surface of your red cells,” she said. If there are incompatible red cells in the blood, the proteins, called antigens, will summon antibodies.
“It will destroy them … it will burst them and that can be toxic,” Alberigo said.
This is why blood types A, B, AB and O, whether positive or negative, must be compatible (O-negative is the universal donor for red cells and AB-positive is the universal recipient; others must match). The Rh factor, whether positive or negative, also matters. Type AB is the universal donor for plasma.
But there are subgroups as well, which are related to race.
“If you’re from a certain race, you share those certain genetic codes,” Alberigo said. “Anyone in the general population could have a rare type.”
All blood from Black donors also is screened for the trait for sickle cell disease, and blood that can be given to those patients is stored separately.
DeCasanova said the blood center does everything from collecting blood, to screening it, separating red cells, plasma and platelets, and supplying it to hospitals, including Middlesex, Connecticut Children’s, Windham and Backus. The center does not transfuse blood to patients.
With donations low in general, the shortage of Black donors is even more apparent, according to Jocelyn Hillard, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross’ Connecticut and Rhode Island Region, based in Farmington.
“In June, the Red Cross collected approximately 12% fewer blood donations than needed to sustain a sufficient blood supply — one of the largest blood donation shortfalls in a single month in recent years,” Hillard wrote in an email.
The American Red Cross declared a blood crisis in January, when the omicron variant of COVID-19 began to increase.
“While the reason for low blood donation rates for individuals who are Black is currently unknown, studies on demographic patterns of blood donors hypothesize distrust of the health care system, a higher proportion of blood donor ineligibility and different motivators and barriers to blood donation as possible contributing factors,” she wrote.
“The Red Cross needs blood donors of all races and ethnicities to help ensure a diverse blood supply to support the blood transfusion needs of patients,” Hillard wrote.
She said the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the Black community hard, “deterred many donors from giving, and the cancellation of drives at educational institutions and businesses, where most of these donors give, has caused the number of Black individuals who give blood to drop by about half.”
Also, Black people are more likely to have type O blood than white people — half of all Black people are type O. O-positive is the most transfused blood type, while O-negative, being the universal donor type, is often in short supply, Hillard said.
The pandemic has reduced the number of blood drives, so Jarosz feels compelled to get the word out.
“I think it’s just a lack of information out there,” she said. “When I was growing up, I felt like blood drives in your town were in your face. But now, when I bring it up in the taproom, they were not aware there was a blood shortage.”
Next spring, Hog River will be moving nearby to a building next to the Parkville Market, where there will be more room — and it will be easier to find.
Sue Lynch, supervisor of donor services at the Rhode Island center, recently participated in a blood drive at Hartford Hospital. She’s been working with the center for 40 years, doing everything from purchasing to driving a forklift to paternity testing.
“It’s just a positive type of atmosphere,” she said of the blood drives, which now feature lounge chairs rather than hard tables.
“Any time that you see a tragedy happening in the world or in your own personal world, whether a family member is ill or there’s been an accident, oftentimes it’s going to call for blood,” Lynch said. “The blood supply is such an important part of people’s lives.”
Too often, people give blood when there’s a sudden need, then forget to return to give more, Lynch said, even though “99 percent of the time people say, this was so easy.”
One time, her daughter needed three units of blood. “I was standing there and they said, ‘OK, we’re going to give you some blood.’ … I was all choked up. I could have collected that from somebody.”

Editor’s note: This story was edited to clarify that those who receive transfusions could develop antibodies if their antigens are not similar to those in the donated blood. So a donor from the same ethnic background is preferred. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2680607157684/a-push-for-black-residents-to-donate-blood-is-growing-in-a-hartford-brewery-here-s-why-that-s-a-need-in-connecticut | 2022-07-30T02:58:28Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2680607157684/a-push-for-black-residents-to-donate-blood-is-growing-in-a-hartford-brewery-here-s-why-that-s-a-need-in-connecticut | false | 2 |
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) – While some local residents are beating the intense North Carolina heat by working inside, many employees in public works and similar departments are unable to do so.
With the heat index consistently hovering above 100 degrees recently, those employees have been taking extra steps to stay safe on the job.
“We don’t expect our employees to push, push, push hard during this type of weather,” said Kevin Heifferon, assistant director of Greenville Public Works.
Heifferon said 95% of public work employees work outdoors. Although the hot weather hasn’t affected the work being done around the city, it has changed how they work to stay safe during high temps.
“We’re not out here to try to break any records,” Heifferon said. “We’re out here to work efficiently and effectively and take care of ourselves first. Take plenty of breaks, drink plenty of water. Wear hat, find a way to shield the sun from your body, loose fitting clothing.”
Greenville Recreation and Parks Department employees also work mostly outdoors, providing a variety of athletic and recreational activities.
Dennis Vestal, the Recreation and Parks Department superintendent, said they’re encouraging their employees to work out of direct sunlight when possible.
“We encourage them to do the most strenuous activity earlier in the day,” Vestal said. “And try to take breaks as needed. We provide water for everybody that they keep with them on their trucks. And again, we just encourage them to be be safe, take breaks,”
Greenville Recreation and Parks currently has more than 60 full-time employees. Vestal said they’re making sure those employees stay safe by allowing them to begin and end work earlier in the day. | https://www.wnct.com/local-news/greenville/safety-is-priority-for-employees-working-in-sweltering-heat/ | 2022-07-30T03:00:57Z | https://www.wnct.com/local-news/greenville/safety-is-priority-for-employees-working-in-sweltering-heat/ | false | 2 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nolan Gorman and Lars Nootbaar hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 6-2 Friday night.
Washington’s Juan Soto went 1 for 4 in what could be his final homestand with Tuesday’s trade deadline looming. The Nationals were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
Miles Mikolas (8-8) allowed two runs in seven innings for St. Louis, which won consecutive games for the first time since July 15-16.
Aníbal Sánchez lost his third consecutive start for Washington, which has a majors-worst record of 34-67.
Sánchez (0-3) pitched into the sixth inning for the first time this season, and nearly escaped trailing just 3-1. Gorman hit a two-run homer to right on a full count to break the game open. The rookie has four home runs in his last 10 games and 11 on the season.
“He took some really good swings even prior to the homer, those backside line drives and staying on the ball,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said. “That was really, really good to see.”
Nootbaar then went deep on a liner to right-center to end Sánchez’s night. The home run came a pitch after Washington catcher Keibert Ruiz scampered to track down a pop foul, only to have it bounce out of his glove. He was not charged with an error on the play.
St. Louis took the lead with three runs in the third. Dylan Carlson and Paul Goldschmidt had run-scoring groundouts sandwiched around Sánchez’s run-scoring wild pitch.
Sánchez allowed six runs in 5 2/3 innings in his first outing against St. Louis since taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning of Game 1 of the 2019 NLCS. He has a 7.47 ERA and has allowed five home runs in three starts since returning from the injured list.
“The problem is every time I make a mistake, I pay really hard for those moments and those pitches,” Sánchez said.
Washington scored on sacrifice fly balls by Luis García in the second and Josh Bell in the sixth. The Nationals failed to muster any other offense against Mikolas, who gave up six hits and a walk while striking out four.
Mikolas pitched at least seven innings for the third time in his last four outings. He was coming off allowing six runs in five innings Sunday at Cincinnati.
“I made some good pitches early and they got those singles through,” Mikolas said. “Not that I was thinking ‘Here we go again,’ getting singled to death. It’s a good bounce-back outing, just kind of reaffirming to me to make good pitches and play the odds. Teams aren’t going to get that many hits like that in a row all the time.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: C Yadier Molina (right knee) was 0 for 3 with a hit by pitch and a stolen base as the designated hitter Thursday in the first game of his rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Memphis. Molina is expected to catch Saturday and Sunday. … RHP Drew VerHagen (right hip) threw a side session Friday. … RHP Jack Flaherty (shoulder) threw a side session Thursday in the Los Angeles area. Marmol said he could join the team in St. Louis next week. … OF Harrison Bader (right foot) will wear a protective boot for the next two weeks.
Nationals: RHP Reed Garrett (biceps inflammation) pitched a scoreless inning Friday in his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Rochester.
GREEN DAY
OF Elijah Green, the No. 5 overall pick in this year’s draft, took batting practice with Washington. Green signed July 22 and will report to the Nationals’ Florida Complex League affiliate Monday.
ROSTER MOVES
St. Louis removed 3B Nolan Arenado, C Austin Romine and Goldschmidt from the restricted list and optioned OF Conner Capel and C Ivan Herrera to Memphis and outrighted INF Cory Spangenberg to Memphis.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: RHP Dakota Hudson (6-6, 4.10 ERA), who is 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA in six lifetime appearances against Washington, will come off the injured list to start Saturday.
Nationals: RHP Erick Fedde (5-7, 4.95), who is 0-2 with a 7.11 ERA, 11 strikeouts and 13 walks in four July starts, draws the start as the series continues.

Tori Spelling spotted without wedding ring
Tori Spelling was photographed without her wedding ring over the weekend, following reports that her actor husband Dean McDermott cheated on her.
The actress, 40 -- whose reality shows include the 2007-2013 Oxygen series "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" and HGTV's upcoming "Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever" -- exited the Benihana restaurant in Encino, Calif., Sunday making no attempt to hide her ring's absence, E! News said Monday.
Spelling and her four children with McDermott had joined her platonic male friend Mehran Farhat for dinner at the Japanese eatery. "Kids and I are having dinner w/ Uncle Mehran Farhat," Spelling tweeted during the meal, along with a photo of him and [her 2-year-old daughter] Hattie wearing comical chef's hats. "I think he's more into it than them!"
Us Weekly reported that a Canadian actress said she had a two-night tryst with McDermott at a Toronto hotel in early December. Neither Spelling nor McDermott have commented on the claim. | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/tori-spelling-spotted-without-wedding-ring-c18843 | 2022-07-30T03:10:52Z | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/tori-spelling-spotted-without-wedding-ring-c18843 | false | 1 |
Tyler Epp named Miami GP president in F1 management reshuffle
The Miami Grand Prix has reshuffled its management team following the inaugural Formula 1 race in May, with Tyler Epp promoted to president and Richard Cregan shifting into a consultancy role.
Former Abu Dhabi and Sochi track mastermind Cregan, who was named CEO for the second annual Formula 1 race in the United States, spearheaded the 2022 event at the new track built around the Hard Rock Stadium – home of the Miami Dolphins NFL team.
Epp, who previously served as the race’s senior VP and COO, has more than 20 years of senior management experience spanning multiple sports, including eight years at the Kansas City Chiefs NFL team. His pre-Miami GP motorsport experience spans five years with Chip Ganassi Racing’s multi-discipline outfit, four years as general manager of Hall of Fame Racing, a NASCAR Cup Series team, and he began his career at Kansas Speedway.
“Tyler is a dynamic leader with integrity and diverse executive experience across multiple sports. We are excited to promote him to President of the Grand Prix,” said Tom Garfinkel, the managing partner of the event and CEO of Miami Dolphins.
“I want to thank Richard for his hard work and leadership in the massive challenge of pulling off our inaugural event in such a tight timeframe. I look forward to continuing to work with him moving forward.”

The first F1 weekend at the circuit was widely viewed as a success, albeit with issues encountered with the track breaking up following a construction error and problems with food delivery in the Paddock Club hospitality suites that came in for criticism.
Garfinkel, who subsequently vowed to make improvements for future events, originally targeted making a profit from Year 1. But higher than anticipated costs pushed it into a loss, despite attracting over 243,000 spectators across its three days.
This week, event promoter South Florida Motorsports revealed its economic impact report for the 2022 race, which claims it boosted the local economy by nearly $350 million. Each visitor to the event spent a total of $1,940 in the city, with the largest number of racegoers coming from Canada, closely followed by the United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.
The report also states that a total of $50 million in salaries and wages were earned by 867 local employees during the construction phase of the project, and the total economic impact of the track’s build reached $143 million.
Cregan said: “We were proud to deliver on the commitment [Miami Dolphins owner] Stephen Ross made to impact the local economy and the people throughout our community; especially right here in Miami Gardens.
“Our team worked selflessly to create a campus and experience that was unique to the international culture of Miami. We look forward to growing the event and the positive impact it will continue to make here for years to come.”

Draymond Green suspended for Game 5 of NBA Finals
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are upset and the Cavaliers are amused, especially LeBron James, who laughed at things Golden State players are saying about him.
The NBA Finals hasn’t been much of a series. Ahead 3-1, the Warriors can close out the Cavs on Monday night in Game 5. Things, however, have gotten interesting.
The outrage and entertainment come from the NBA’s decision to assess Draymond Green with a flagrant foul 1 for making “unnecessary contact with a retaliatory swipe of his hand to the groin” of James late in the Warriors’ 108-97 win in Game 4 Friday night.
Green has accrued four flagrant-foul points in the playoffs, resulting in an automatic one-game suspension for the versatile All-Star forward.
The Warriors are angry because they believe James disrespected Green by stepping over him after knocking him to the floor. The two were talking trash and James said Green “crossed the line” with his words. Klay Thompson accused James of “getting his feelings hurt.” James twice asked a reporter Sunday specifically what Thompson had said, and when he was told, he started laughing.
“Oh my goodness,” James said. “I’m not going to comment on what Klay said, because I know where it can go from this. It’s so hard to take the high road. I’ve been doing it for 13 years. It’s so hard to continue to do it, and I’m going to do it again.
“We’ve got to go out and show up and play better [Monday night], and if we don’t, then they’re going to be back-to-back champion, and that’s it. But I’ve taken the high road again.”
James, dressed in black, wore black sunglasses and an “Undertaker” T-shirt. He was in good spirits, laughing with reporters before practice.
Although James and the Cavaliers seem relaxed despite their position, this could work in the Warriors’ favor. They are upset and looking to win one for Green, who can’t be inside Oracle Arena during the game but can take part if there is a championship celebration.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr wouldn’t divulge who will start for Green, but Andre Iguodala is a safe bet.
In Game 4, James and Green were playing each other physically and jawing at each other. When James stepped over Green, the Warriors forward flailed his arms and hit James, who lobbied the NBA to review the play. James was assessed a technical for his role in the altercation, but Green suffered the greater penalty.
“It’s a man’s league,” Thompson said. “People’s feelings get hurt even if they’re called a bad word. I guess his feelings just got hurt. We’ve all been called plenty of bad words on the basketball court before. Some guys just react to it differently.”
It’s been building up for Green. Some believe he should have been suspended for kicking Thunder center Steven Adams in the groin in the Western Conference finals. Green was fined $25,000 and received a flagrant foul 2 after league review.
Warriors center Andrew Bogut said the Cavaliers’ postgame “strategy” was to get Green suspended. Backup big man Marreese Speights tweeted an emoji of a baby’s bottle Sunday afternoon. Shawn Livingston said the Warriors will have “a chip on their shoulder” in Game 5. “They played their strategy very, very well,” Bogut said. “They did what they had to do and they got one of our guys out.”
The conspiracy theorists contend that James baited Green into doing something that would get him suspended, and the NBA did it because it happened to their marquee player and could help extend this highly watched series. Green was not made available to comment.
“I don’t know what LeBron’s intention was,” Stephen Curry said. “Draymond thought it was disrespectful and wanted to get up and say something, so that was his reaction to it. I would have probably done the same thing.
“He’s trying to get up and somebody’s straddling him on top. It’s like an awkward situation to be in. So that was his reaction. That’s why I’m still kind of surprised that that was what the decision was.”
James said he didn’t do anything intentional and was “just trying to get back into the play” when he stepped over Green. “I don’t disrespect anybody,” James said. “It’s all in competition.”
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue, who was fined $25,000 for criticizing officials in Game 4, wouldn’t reveal his starting unit. With the season on the line, Lue could put Kevin Love back with the first team. Love came off the bench for Richard Jefferson in Game 4 after missing Game 3 with a concussion.
“We’ve got to give everything we’ve got,” Lue said. “Our backs are against the wall, so we’ve got to be prepared to win just one game.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/draymond-green-suspended-for-game-5-of-nba-finals-r54796 | 2022-07-30T03:16:33Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/draymond-green-suspended-for-game-5-of-nba-finals-r54796 | false | 1 |

Outset and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On May 5, 2022, the Company disclosed negative results for 1Q2022, which, among other things, analysts attributed to the untested nature of Tablo, its flagship product which is a dialysis machine that purifies tap water and then artificially purifies and removes toxins from the blood of patients suffering from kidney failure. On this news, shares of Outset fell more than 40% over the three trading days that followed, from a closing price of $39.94 per share on May 4, 2022, to a closing price of $23.06 per share on May 9, 2022.
Then, on June 13, 2022, the Company disclosed a hold on all shipments of Tablo for home use by the FDA until proper regulatory clearance was received. The Company subsequently disclosed that the "ship hold" had been in place for weeks before investors were informed and that as a result of the hold, the Company was "suspending our prior full-year and long-term guidance.". On this news, shares of Outset fell another 33%, from a closing price of $20.41 per share on June 13, 2022, to a closing price of $13.46 per share on June 14, 2022.
The case is Plymouth County Retirement Association v. Outset Medical, Inc., 22-cv-04016.

TRADE SHOWS
Coterie Brings Glamour Back to the Eden Roc
Destination:Miami by Coterie was held July 16–18 at the iconic Eden Roc in Miami Beach, Fla. This famed hotel, built in 1955, has an impressive history welcoming guests such as Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor among the impressive list of stars who graced this stunning Miami beach resort. The show saw an equally impressive list of International top-tier retailers gathered to view the latest the industry had to offer.
Kelly Helfman, president of Informa Markets Fashion, organizers of the show, said that “she could not be more proud of this year’s edition of Destination:Miami. Orders were placed, wellness sessions were packed, and the show floor was vibrant. It was truly a gathering of who’s who in the resort and swimwear industry.”
Buyers from Revolve, Goop, Intermix and Bergdorf Goodman were among those in attendance, meeting with both established and emerging brands. Cocktails were served on the rooftop the first evening following a day of fashion highlights.
The show brought a wave of environmental consciousness to light as the industry embraced wellness, sustainability and harmony with nature.
Leafy Natural Couture by Silvia Vassao demonstrated her great respect for the environment in her high fashions. Her line featured luxurious silk crochet dyed with organic pigments such as herbs, eucalyptus and coffee. The line is produced by a group of mothers living in a small fishing village in southern Brazil.
Palo Rosa set itself apart with a message of “Social Responsibility Meets Cool Girl Design.” Handmade in Colombia, the line was inspired by the 1960s music scene. Designer Carolina Ordoñez used colorful stretch velvets and Andy Warhol–like prints that could easily take swim from beach to bar, with wholesale prices ranging from $68 to $75.
Amantia expanded on one of its hot swimsuits with a coordinating novelty belt. Maria Fernando Useche created new versions after buyers from Anthropologie and other retailers placed numerous reorders for this accessorized swim idea.
Lily Franco collaborated with jewelry brand Ylla, incorporating its Bold Gold metal pieces into her swimwear.
Bahia Maria set the bar with high-octane glamour. The sculptural laser-cut flowers and shells made for a standout collection, with retail price points around $250.
Bocanegra designed a fashion-jewelry collection transforming glass beads into wearable art. All the pieces are waterproof and can be worn in pools or oceans without tarnishing. | https://www.apparelnews.net/news/2022/jul/28/coterie-brings-glamour-back-eden-roc/ | 2022-07-30T03:21:09Z | https://www.apparelnews.net/news/2022/jul/28/coterie-brings-glamour-back-eden-roc/ | true | 2 |
Vice President Harris to discuss climate change in Miami
TALLAHASSEE - Vice President Kamala Harris and other federal officials will travel Monday to Miami to discuss issues related to climate change, the White House said Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Friday approved wide-ranging legislation aimed at helping communities in the West cope with increasingly severe wildfires and drought — fueled by climate change — that have caused billions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses in recent years.
The measure combines 49 separate bills and would increase firefighter pay and benefits; boost resiliency and mitigation projects for communities affected by climate change; protect watersheds; and make it easier for wildfire victims to get federal assistance.
"Across America the impacts of climate change continue to worsen, and in this new normal, historic droughts and record-setting wildfires have become all too common,'' said Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., the bill's chief co-sponsor. Colorado has suffered increasingly devastating wildfires in recent years, including the Marshall fire last year that caused more than $513 million in damage and destroyed nearly 1,100 homes and structures in Boulder County.
"What once were wildfire seasons are now wildfire years. For families across the country who have lost their homes due to these devastating wildfires and for the neighborhoods impacted by drought, we know that we need to apply a whole-of-government approach to support community recovery and bolster environmental resiliency," Neguse said. "This is a bill that we believe meets the moment for the West."
The bill was approved, 218-199, as firefighters in California battled a blaze that forced evacuation of thousands of people near Yosemite National Park and crews in North Texas sought to contain another fire.
One Republican, Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, voted in favor of the bill, while Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader was the only Democrat to oppose it.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has sponsored a similar measure.
Both the House and Senate bills would permanently boost pay and benefits for federal wildland firefighters. President Joe Biden signed a measure last month giving them a hefty raise for the next two years, a move that affects more than 16,000 firefighters and comes as much of the West braces for another difficult wildfire season.
Pay raises for the federal firefighters had been included in last year's $1 trillion infrastructure bill, but the money was held up as federal agencies studied recruitment and retention data to decide where to deliver them. The raise approved by Biden was retroactive to Oct. 1, 2021, and expires Sept. 30, 2023.
The House bill would make the pay raises permanent and sets minimum pay for federal wildland firefighters at $20 per hour, or nearly $42,000 a year. It also raises eligibility for hazardous-duty pay and boosts mental health and other services for firefighters. The bill is named after smokejumper Tim Hart, who died fighting a wildfire in New Mexico last year.
"The West is hot — hotter than ever — it is dry and when it is windy, the West is on fire,'' said Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash. "And we are seeing this every year because of climate change. That's why this bill is so important.''
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the bill "a major victory for Californians — and for the country.'' The Oak Fire, the largest wildfire so far this year, "is ravaging our state,'' she said. "At the same time, countless of our communities regularly suffer lack of rainfall that can kill crops and further fuel fires."
The House bill would deliver "urgently needed resources" to combat fires and droughts, "which will only increase in frequency and intensity due to the climate crisis,'' Pelosi said. The bill includes $500 million to preserve water levels in key reservoirs in the drought-stricken Colorado River and invest in water recycling and desalination.
Republicans denounced the measure as "political messaging," noting that firefighters' hourly pay has already been increased above $20 in most cases. The House bill does not appropriate additional money for the Forest Service or other agencies, and without such an increase, the Forest Service says it would have to lay off about 470 wildland firefighters.
Rep. Bruce Westerman of Arkansas, the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee, called it "egregious" that Democrats would seek to enact provisions that could lead to firefighter layoffs in the midst of a devastating wildfire season.
"Democrats are finally waking up to the wildfire and drought crises, exacerbated by years of forest mismanagement and a lack of long-term water storage. Unfortunately, Democrats' proposals are anything but solutions,'' Westerman said. He accused Democrats of failing to follow science showing the need to manage forests before fires begin, and said Democrats "fail to construct the kind of long-term infrastructure needed to make communities resilient to drought'' while prioritizing "liberal talking points" about climate change.
Neguse called that accusation outrageous and noted that many of the bills included in the wildfire/drought legislation are Republican proposals.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said the bill was important to the whole country — not just the West, where wildfires and drought are a daily reality.
"We are one nation indivisible and if one part of us is burning, we are all burning," Hoyer said.
Besides boosting firefighter pay, the bill enhances forest management projects intended to reduce hazardous fuels such as small trees and underbrush that can make wildfires far more dangerous. It also establishes grant programs to help communities affected by air pollution from wildfires and improve watersheds damaged by wildfire.
Republicans called the thinning projects — which also include prescribed burns and removal of vegetation — meaningless without waivers of lengthy environmental reviews that can delay forest treatment by years.
The White House said in a statement that it supports efforts to address climate change, wildfires and drought, but wants to "work with the Congress to ensure the many provisions in the (bill) avoid duplication with existing authorities and administration efforts." | https://www.10news.com/news/national/house-approves-bill-to-help-west-fight-drought-and-wildfires | 2022-07-30T03:33:56Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/house-approves-bill-to-help-west-fight-drought-and-wildfires | true | 29 |
Eyesafe and TÜV Rheinland Announce that Lenovo will be World's First Brand with Devices Meeting the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 Display Standard for Low Blue Light
Three new Lenovo monitors are the world's first devices to meet the Eyesafe Display Requirements 2.0, the world's most comprehensive certification standard for measuring blue light mitigation and color performance.
SHANGHAI and MINNEAPOLIS, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TÜV Rheinland Group, the world leader in independent third-party testing and certification, and Eyesafe, the world leader in screen time safety display solutions, today announced the first devices to meet the new Eyesafe® Display Requirements 2.0: the Lenovo G32qc-30 Curved Gaming Monitor, the Lenovo G34w-30 Ultra-Wide Curved Gaming Monitor, and the Lenovo ThinkVision T27p-30 Wide UHD Monitor.
"Today is a huge win for Lenovo and a significant milestone for the entire display industry." -Justin BarrettUnveiled in May of this year, the Eyesafe® Certified 2.0 standard is the world's most advance set of certification requirements for measuring blue light emissions and color accuracy for the global display industry. Representing the next-generation blue light management standard for digital displays, it is built upon the resounding success of the first generation Eyesafe standard which has become the industry-leading benchmark for low blue light safety.
"We'd like to congratulate Lenovo on being the world's first to achieve this significant milestone," remarked Frank Holzman, Global Vice President of TÜV Rheinland Business Field Electrical. "The launch of the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 comes at a critical point in time as awareness of low blue light features has become much more pervasive among consumers and brands have begun to offer an array of different low blue light display options. TÜV Rheinland strongly feels that it is imperative that we offer a certification standard for brands that want to provide more precise and complete information to consumers."
"The new Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard refines a much-needed level of specificity around the general concept of 'low blue light' and empowers consumers to make informed comparisons among competing solutions," added Holzman.
Based on the latest health research, the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was developed in consultation with leading ophthalmologists and optometrists from around the world and outlines guidance for display manufacturers with new key metrics and parameters for measuring blue light toxicity. The Eyesafe Certified 2.0 designation empowers consumers to better understand how brands are addressing the issue of blue light mitigation.
"We want to offer a hearty and well-deserved congratulations to the team at Lenovo for their foresight and leadership around the issue of blue light and their commitment to total human health," said Justin Barrett, the CEO of Eyesafe. "We believe consumers deserve the peace-of-mind of knowing that their devices have passed the most rigorous set of requirements in the industry for measuring blue light emissions and color accuracy. Today is a huge win for Lenovo and a significant milestone for the entire display industry."
TÜV Rheinland and Eyesafe's decision to develop and release the new Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was driven by significant advancements in global health research, which has given both physicians in eyecare as well as engineers in the technology space a more thorough understanding of the potentially damaging heath impacts of continuous exposure to blue light on the human retina. These insights, coupled with significant and sustained changes in global device-use patterns since the onset of the pandemic, spurred the TÜV Rheinland and Eyesafe teams to create a next generation standard that would reflect and encompass all the new information available about the impacts of blue light on human health. The complete set of requirements in the new standard are available here.
"Lenovo is proud to be the first technology provider to introduce PC monitors that are certified against the rigorous and precise set of requirements within the new Eyesafe display standard," remarked Stefan Engel, Vice President and General Manager of Visuals Business within Lenovo's Intelligent Devices Group. "The reality is that people are spending more time in front of computers than ever before, and while the concept of 'low blue light' has become more popular, it only addresses part of the challenge. By meeting the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard, we're enabling our customers to have more control over their experience and fit the device to their specific needs."
The following certified Lenovo devices will be available globally this fall in select markets1:
- Lenovo G32qc-30 Monitor – a 31.5" WLED QHD curved gaming monitor equipped with a 165 Hz refresh rate, HDR effect support, dual speakers and gaming tools for an immersive, fast and fluid gaming experience.
- Lenovo G34w-30 Monitor – a 34" WQHD ultra-wide 1500R curved gaming monitor with a 21:9 panorama display ratio for wider visibility into more content.
- Lenovo ThinkVision T27p-30 Monitor – a 27" wide UHD monitor featuring a USB Type-C® port offering a single cable connection, and a 3-side near-edgeless bezel design for a seamless working experience across multiple screens.
All feature natural low blue light technology to reduce the emission of high frequency blue light from the panel without color distortion. Each will have the TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certification seal clearly displayed on both the packaging and the device itself. Additional Lenovo products that meet the new standard will be made available later this year.

About the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 Display StandardDeveloped and supported by the Eyesafe Vision Health Advisory Board, the Eyesafe Display Requirements 2.0 are based on the growing body of research that demands that more precise indices are needed to differentiate competing low blue light protective measures while adding additional requirements for accurate color performance and energy displacement. The Eyesafe Certified 2.0 Display Standard has been developed to provide transparency to consumers and is further built upon existing standards and guidelines developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Eyesafe and TÜV Rheinland. Recent studies have shown growing concerns over potential long-term eye health impacts from digital screen usage and cumulative blue light exposure, in addition to recognized impacts of device use on circadian rhythms and sleep patterns. For more information on the Eyesafe Standard, visit https://eyesafe.com/standards/. Blue light exposure research and studies on animals' cells have shown that blue light in a range of 415 to 455 nm generated the greatest phototoxic risk to retinal pigment epithelium cells, with photoreceptor cell apoptosis seen early after the retina is damaged by blue light.

MLB Odds: Rangers vs. Angels prediction, odds, pick – 7/29/2022
The Texas Rangers take on the Los Angeles Angels. Check out our MLB odds series for our Rangers Angels prediction and pick.
Martin Perez gets the call for the Rangers, while Patrick Sandoval gets the start for the Angels.
Martin Perez has a 2.59 ERA. He has been terrific for Texas this season. That said, he has struggled over the past month. His ERA on June 5 was 1.56, so his ERA has risen by more than one full run since then. His ERA was still lower than two runs, at 1.96, heading into the final week of June, but in a three-start sequence from June 27-July 9, Perez faltered. He allowed 13 runs in those three starts, encompassing 18 2/3 innings. The pitcher who produced a spectacular 0.64 ERA in the entire month of May was nowhere to be found.
In his last two starts, however, Perez has regained form. He has allowed just two runs in his last 12 innings and has stabilized. Given how depleted the Angels’ batting order currently is, Perez should expect to deliver a strong start in Anaheim.
Patrick Sandoval has a 3.64 ERA. That’s not terrible, to be sure, but his ERA was 1.79 on May 22, just before the Angels’ catastrophic, season-altering 14-game losing streak from which they never recovered. He got knocked around in a few starts. In mid-to-late June, he stabilized by producing three straight strong outings. In July, however, it has all come apart for Sandoval, whose ERA for the month — entering this July 29 start — is 7.11. That is why his season ERA is above 3.60. Sandoval has allowed 29 hits in 19 innings pitched in July. He has allowed only one home run, but hitters are consistently putting the ball in play against him. He has also allowed nine walks in those 19 innings, another reason for his struggles this month. Sandoval has to regain command and find better location on his pitchers. Let’s not try to overcomplicate matters.

Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread
They are a better team than the Angels. They beat the Halos on Thursday night even though Shohei Ohtani pitched well for Los Angeles. The Rangers were able to shut out the Angels and take advantage of all the injuries to a very hollowed-out Halo batting order. Martin Perez has been Texas’ best starting pitcher this season. He should be able to thrive in this matchup. As long as the Rangers can score a modest amount of runs and not make huge defensive mistakes, they should be in great shape here.
Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread
After getting shut out on Thursday, the Angels — while hardly at full strength — should still be able to bounce back and score reasonably well. The Rangers are not a tremendous hitting team. They were handled by Ohtani on Thursday and can certainly be kept under wraps. Perez is a superb pitcher, but he could very easily lose a 3-2 or 4-2 decision to the Halos in this game. The Rangers might be the better team, but they’re not a good team. They could easily step on a rake in this contest; after all, they lost a series to the Oakland Athletics last weekend. They’re also very tired as they work toward the end of a very long road trip which began last Thursday, July 21.
Final Rangers-Angels Prediction & Pick
The pitching matchup between Perez and Sandoval cuts clearly in Texas’ favor, given Sandoval’s recent struggles. Maybe Sandoval will bounce back here, but Texas is the better choice. Perez should dominate the Halos’ bats.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the latest JRPG from venerable developer Monolith Soft to drop on the Nintendo Switch. Switch fans have a love/hate relationship with the genre, but there's a huge hardcore fanbase for these hit anime-inspired sci-fi games.
After the success of the first two Xenoblade titles, the third has some huge shoes to fill. Fans seem happy with this new entry into the franchise, as it maintains the tradition of expansive open worlds and long runtimes. With over 100 hours to go through, players will want to know how to quickly get more powerful.
Leveling up through combat in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a classic JRPG that divides its time between its unique combat system and exploring the world. The most common way to level up in the game is by picking specific targets and taking on tough combat challenges.
Obviously, any player will level up by completing the main and side quests of the game. Hit every side quest along the way to keep pace with the average player level, but to go beyond that, they will have to grind.
Hunt through every area, including the starting area, for enemy mobs marked with a blue symbol over their level. Those are elite mobs, which will provide a much greater challenge in exchange for more Experience Points. Take these on frequently to level up fast.
If players manage to beat the elite mobs without losing any of their party members in the fight, they'll get a huge bonus. A perfect run will pay out 250% additional experience, as well as 300% more class points, and 350% extra gold.
In addition, players can take on Unique Monsters, who function like world bosses. These powerful foes can wipe the party with a single attack if the player isn't ready, so be prepared for a difficult fight.
Beating a Unique Monster drops a ton of Experience Points, but players can abuse this feature repeatedly. A huge gravestone will sit in the beast's place and they can interact with it to fight again. Players can rack up the same rewards repeatedly and come away with plenty of level-ups.
Leveling up through exploration in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 offers more than battle to keep players engaged. There's a huge world to wander around and make new discoveries that will pay off experience.
Every time a player stumbles onto a new area, landmark, or zone, they'll get some XP. This encourages them to wander into the open world and gain rewards for exploration.
In addition, the game features several collectibles. Every item picked will provide a small bunch of experience, but these add up fast.
Players can easily wander every square inch of the game map and come away with plenty of experience. This won't be as profitable as fighting, but it carries much less risk.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has captured the joy of the fanbase once again. Players can increase their level quickly through fighting or exploration. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/how-level-quickly-xenoblade-chronicles-3 | 2022-07-30T03:50:10Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/how-level-quickly-xenoblade-chronicles-3 | true | 1 |

Starting on Monday, off-street parking fees are going up in the Tauranga CBD.
After keeping parking fees low following the arrival of Covid-19, Tauranga City Council is increasing fees for its off-street paid parking areas in the city centre.
The changes, which will take effect from August 1, are intended to help the council cover the cost of providing the car parking services.
From August 8, parking fees will increase in council-owned carpark buildings on Elizabeth St and Spring St from by 50 cents per hour.

Advertise with NZME.Both parking buildings will remain free between 6am Saturday and 6am Monday each weekend and on public holidays.
Tauranga City Council director of transport Brendan Bisley said the council had been keeping parking fees low following Covid-19 to support the recovery of the city centre.
"We've done our best to keep the cost of parking as low as we can but are at a point where we need to reflect the true cost of providing car parking and the supporting infrastructure.
"While we will continue to keep parking fees as low as we can, further increases are likely in future to fully cover costs."
Free on-street parking for up to two hours remains in place in the CBD.
Further information about parking fees and where to park in the city centre can be found on the Tauranga City Council's website.
Parking fees will increase from between $1 to $2 per day at these off-street paid carparks:
