The Irish Limousin Cattle Society has announced that Dr. Alan Kelly has been elected as its new president.
Dr. Kelly was appointed to the role following a society meeting on Wednesday (August 3) in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary.
The new appointee will step into office with immediate effect and will remain in the role until the society’s annual general meeting (AGM) in November.
University College Dublin (UCD) School of Agriculture and Food Science’s Dr. Kelly succeeds Trevor Masterson, who stepped down from his role on July 20, due to health reasons, a spokesperson for the society told Agriland.
Commenting on his appointment, Dr. Kelly said: “Firstly, I`m honoured to step in and take on the role of president of the Irish Limousin Cattle Society.
“I would like to acknowledge the work of the departing president, and thank him for all the contributions he made towards the betterment of the society.”
The remaining months of this presidential term, he said, coincides with important and momentous events for the breed.
“The society has an array of exciting events scheduled – kicking off with the National Limousin Championship at Tullamore Show next week, then rolling into the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Limousin breed in Ireland, hosted at Carrick on Shannon in late September,” the new president explained.
“This will be followed by the principal autumn sales events scheduled for Roscrea and Athenry.
“There is a large body of work in the interim needed to deliver on this exciting events schedule, coupled with the ongoing developments and forward progression of our breeding programmes and initiatives.”
“I plan to work closely with our CEO, council and administrative team and, collectively, we will deliver on these goals for the membership,” he concluded. | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/dr-alan-kelly-appointed-as-president-of-limousin-society/ | 2022-08-05T16:20:10Z | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/dr-alan-kelly-appointed-as-president-of-limousin-society/ | false | 1 |

HOUSTON (KTRK) – People in one Houston neighborhood are holding their breath – literally – after a truck spilled cow intestines all over the road Wednesday afternoon.
City officials say crews got things cleaned up pretty quickly, but the smell hasn’t completely gone away.
“I have not ever encountered anything like this before,” area resident Tahj Scott said. “This is a first, but definitely the worst smell I ever smelled.”
There’s no word yet on what company owned the truck that spilled the innards or how this even happened.

The Arrow Lakes Caribou Society has released 13 caribou from their care into the wild.
The caribou were part of the organization’s Maternity Pen Project, an effort to help protect and preserve the endangered animal. The release of the caribou on July 22 marks the completion of the first year of the project.
The Central Selkirk Maternity Pen, where the animals were being kept, is located in the Kuskanax Creek area, near Nakusp Hot Springs. The society describes the pen as “a safe environment for female caribou to bear and raise their calves away from predators.”
Since their release, the society and provincial researchers have tracked the caribou’s location using GPS collars.
After exiting the pen and overcoming their initial hesitance, the caribou travelled up to the alpine. Some of the caribou arrived there the same day they were released, while the others eventually made their way up by July 24.
The caribou were captured in March and brought to the pen by a 32-person team which included helicopters and snowmobiles.

Between May 24 and June 11, six calves were born at the site. The eldest of the pack birthed a stillborn and passed away 16 days later due to an infection.
The society said the animals are a “tight-knit group” and said “the calves enjoy playing and exploring together.”
The project was conducted with support from the provincial government’s Caribou Recovery Program and the Ministry of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship as well as the Ktunaxa Nation.
In a statement after the calves were born, the organization said the location of the pen had proved to be “ideal.”
“It is quiet and provides the caribou with a variety of landscape features and browsing opportunities,” they said.
The society will now evaluate the outcomes of this year’s project and begin planning for next year. The next caribou capture is expected to take place in the spring of 2023. | https://www.coastmountainnews.com/news/video-13-caribou-released-back-into-the-wild-in-northern-b-c/ | 2022-08-05T16:27:57Z | https://www.coastmountainnews.com/news/video-13-caribou-released-back-into-the-wild-in-northern-b-c/ | true | 13 |

A former senior security called out Prince Harry for launching a second lawsuit against the British government over security flaws.
According to The Mirror, Dai Davies, the Scotland Yard former head of royalty protection, called the suit “nonsensical”.
“For a man who allegedly wants to protect his privacy he goes about a funny way of achieving it. I believe this is personal.
“Rather than seek a workable solution, he has taken this route which is fraught with issues. It’s insulting.”
The newly-launched case focuses on the Royalty and VIP Executive Committee’s decision that private individuals should not be allowed to pay for police for protection.
The Home Office and Met Police reportedly argued that the British police are not “guns for hire”.
Meanwhile, the Duke has already won his first legal battle over his security arrangements in the UK.
On Friday, the HC judge granted permission for part of Harry’s claim to have a judicial review.
“The application for permission to apply for judicial review is allowed in part and refused in part,” said Mr Justice Swift.

Cancer patients call on government to buy drug to protect people still shielding from Covid
Video Report by Granada Reports Political Correspondent, Lise McNally.
Pressure is mounting on the Government to buy a drug that could protect hundreds of thousands of people still shielding from coronavirus.
Eileen Molloy, from Standish in Wigan, is still shielding from Covid after most others have gone back to enjoying a normal way of life.
She has a type of blood cancer called Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and is currently on "watch and wait".
Eileen is immunosuppressed which means catching Covid could be dangerous as the vaccine does not give her the necessary protection.
Now the retired mental health nurse is one of thousands urging the Government to commit to funding the anti-viral drug Evusheld on the NHS.
The drug would allow Eileen to go back to living a full life as she did before Covid, going to yoga, joining an art group, travelling, very fit and active.
She says: "I was a mental health nurse so I've used all the tools possible during this time, however, I can tell it's impacted on my mental health.
"I think we've just been left behind, this group of people who are immunocompromised. We were told to shield, we did, still are, and my question is - who's protecting us now?"
What is Evusheld?
Evusheld was developed by AstraZeneca for people with compromised immunity, such as cancer patients and those with an organ transplant.
It works by providing antibodies for those who can't produce them themselves, or those for whom ordinary Covid vaccinations are not recommended.
Those who are still shielding hope it will allow them to return to some form of normal life.
For Eileen Evushed would mean she would be able to go places and see her daughter without masks and Lateral Flow Tests.
At the moment, she feels let down by the Government's delay on this and says Evusheld would "give her her life back".
She said: "It makes me very angry, and I really can't understand - they are drawing this out.
"I've learnt recently that now Hungary and Greece are rolling it out, they're poorer countries than us, and I just think it's a disgrace.
"Basically I would be saying to the Government you have put my life on hold. I'm virtually in prison, but you can't see the bars."
A spokesperson for AstraZeneca said they have met regularly with the UK Government since August 2021, when the initial trials showed positive results.
They added that "the unmet need is significant for the immunocompromised in the UK."
So, why isn't it yet available to people like Eileen?
Evusheld has been rolled out in dozens of countries but is not yet widely available in the UK - despite the drug being approved for use by the UK medicines regulator in March 2022.
At the time, the government said "further testing" was needed to check whether Evusheld was effective against Omicron and other variants.
So far 18 charities have come together with patient groups and clinicians, calling for the urgent rollout of Evusheld - which they say could provide vital protection to hundreds of thousands of people.
Helen Rowntree, who is the Director of Research, Services and Engagement at Blood Cancer UK, doesn't understand this lengthy delay, adding "the silence from the Government has just been really deafening on this".
She said "We fully support that its appropriate for the Government to be testing, particular against new variants, but this treatment was proved by the MHRA as being safe and effective in March.
"Since then we've heard very little about what's happening behind the scenes, what the Government been looking at, how it's making those decisions, and that's been extremely frustrating for people who are already very anxious."
Evusheld costs around £800 for a six-month dose. Blood Cancer UK feels the economic argument for approving it on the NHS is very strong:
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said "We recognise the strong interest from patients in receiving Evusheld as a preventative therapy prior to exposure of Covid.
"We have been conducting an assessment of Evusheld, which includes asking clinicians to advise on the most appropriate option for the NHS in line with all available data, and ministers are considering the advice which has been presented to them."
But families who have already lost loved ones say the Government is "running out of excuses".
Michael Warren from Manchester had just finished chemotherapy when he caught Coronavirus.
His cancer treatment meant the Covid vaccine wasn't effective in helping his body mount an immune response, and he deteriorated rapidly.
The 59-year-old died in June, leaving a heartbroken family, and won't ever be able to meet his first grandchild, who is due in October.
The Warren family say they've been left to wonder how things might have been different if Evusheld was made available in the UK.
"Dad was in remission, he was expected to go on and live a normal, healthy life," Michael's daughter Chelsea explains, "Covid has stolen all of those years from us."
She continued: "It's difficult to get your head around sometimes that Evusheld was out there. It's frustrating, other countries have been rolling this out since December, January, and he tested positive for Covid in February.
"So theoretically there is every possibility that that could have been available, and that could have really made all the difference for him..."
"It would have given him more of a chance fighting against Covid"
The Warren family are now supporting the "Evusheld for the UK" campaign - wanting to spare other families the agony of wondering if their loved one could have been saved.

‘Bull in a china shop’: Ukrainian-born GOP lawmaker rankles colleagues with her aggressive criticism of Kyiv
By Melanie Zanona and Natasha Bertrand, CNN
When a bipartisan group of lawmakers visited the Ukraine border in March, an unexpected guest showed up on the trip: GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana.
Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of the US Congress and an outspoken advocate for her home country, had expressed interest in joining the congressional delegation but wasn’t invited to attend the trip, which consisted primarily of House Foreign Affairs Committee members, a panel where Spartz is not a member.
So, she used her own funds to fly to the border of Ukraine in Poland and linked up with lawmakers once there to join in on some of their meetings, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Her surprise appearance, the circumstances of which have not been previously reported, was initially viewed as a welcome addition — albeit an unusual one — as lawmakers sought to rally Western support for Ukraine amid Russia’s bloody assault on the country that began a week earlier.
But members who were part of the official trip told CNN that Spartz was “argumentative,” “accusatory,” and “unhelpful” during key meetings with NATO members, generals and government officials, sparking concern that her presence was doing more harm than good.
“She crashed our CoDel. She was like a bull in a china shop,” said one GOP lawmaker, who like other members for this story was granted anonymity to speak more freely about a colleague and due to the sensitive nature of the subject. “I don’t know if it was pent-up frustration or she didn’t feel like she was getting enough proper information, but she was just accusatory and rude.”
Spartz, in an email to CNN, pushed back on the anonymous criticism of her decision to elbow her way into the congressional delegation and refuted the description of her behavior on the trip.
“This accusation is a cowardly misrepresentation of facts by some jealous members or staff since we had a very productive bipartisan CODEL in March,” Spartz said. “I did not come to Congress to get paid for my travel vacations or dinners, but rather get things done. I have always been willing to spend my own hard-earned money to help with causes I care about.”
That bipartisan frustration over Spartz’s behavior was only the beginning. In the nearly six months since the war began, Spartz has publicly criticized the Ukraine government, peddled corruption allegations against the Ukrainian government and some of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s top aides, and spurred complaints from her colleagues that she is mirroring pro-Russia talking points.
“President Zelensky has to stop playing politics and theater, and start governing to better support his military and local governments,” Spartz said in a press release last month, in one example of her outspoken criticisms of Kyiv.
Spartz, a 43-year-old businesswoman, has repeatedly insisted, publicly and privately, that she wants Ukraine to win, and that she is only attacking Kyiv because she wants to help remove any potential obstacles to a Ukrainian victory over Russia. She says she has visited Ukraine six times since the invasion began and has also slammed Russia consistently, including as recently as Tuesday when she tweeted that Russia should be declared a terrorist state.
Still, Spartz’s bellicose rhetoric aimed at Zelensky and his advisers has frustrated lawmakers in both parties, White House officials and members of the Ukrainian parliament alike. They worry she is undermining their efforts to stay united behind Ukraine at a pivotal moment and openly question where she is getting some of her information, according to interviews with over a dozen lawmakers, aides and administration sources.
Meanwhile, multiple briefings from the Biden administration and private pleas from senior Republicans have done little to rein in Spartz’s vocal criticism, sources said.
Once seen as a crucial messaging asset, Spartz has now become something of a liability for defense hawks who were already worried about fatigue in the United States over the ongoing war abroad. And her continued criticism of Ukraine also comes amid growing skepticism from the MAGA wing of the GOP about keeping weapons and aid flowing to the country.
“Because she’s the only Ukrainian-born member of Congress, she has outsize megaphone, outsize influence,” Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat and former CIA analyst, said to CNN. “I think there’s an open question of why she’s so openly saying something that’s so clearly aligned with Russian talking points.”
Spartz contends she has long been concerned about corruption in Ukraine. But lawmakers fear her public criticism could undermine confidence in Zelensky, damage relations between the U.S. and Ukraine, and give on-the-fence lawmakers a reason to oppose the next aid package.
Some lawmakers — even those unhappy with her rhetoric — came to Spartz’s defense, arguing she is well-intentioned and just desperate to help her motherland as it’s being ripped apart by war. Spartz was a vocal champion of key legislation to speed up the administration’s ability to send weaponry and other critical resources to Ukraine, attending the bill signing ceremony with President Joe Biden. And lawmakers in both parties have shared in her calls for more rigorous oversight of the weapons heading into Ukraine.
“She was overcome with emotion. And I think what you’re seeing now is a manifestation of that,” said a second GOP lawmaker. “What I’m trying to tell her is, I’m well aware of the corruption problem. … But talking about corruption now, when they are under siege, is like wall-papering your bathroom when the house is burning down around you. It’s counterproductive.”
Spartz said in an email to CNN that she is just seeking accountability and always gets her information “from the ground and real professionals, not from academics and political hacks who’ve never set foot in Ukraine.” And Spartz said it was the “foreign policy establishment” — not her — who was playing into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s hands.
“I also care deeply about people’s lives — the lives of ordinary Ukrainians and the brave Ukrainian military. I cannot let them down even if that means saying unpopular truths that offend the politicians or diverge from the popular narrative of the day,” Spartz said. “I will never give up or give in, and I will do everything I can to see a united Ukraine and a defeated Vladimir Putin.”
Members of both parties push to tone down posture
Even as lawmakers express understanding and sympathy for Spartz’s situation, the top three Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Intelligence Committee and the House Armed Services Committee have all urged Spartz to tone down her posture, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
“We’ve all talked to her,” said a third GOP lawmaker. “It’s pissing people off. Because it hurts the cause.”
Spartz herself has expressed interest in joining the House Foreign Affairs Committee next year, sources said. But given her recent behavior, some GOP members have warned Republican leaders against that, with one lawmaker saying they would be “very upset” if she received that assignment.
When asked about the pushback she’s gotten from top Republican colleagues surrounding her rhetoric and whether it’s playing into Russian disinformation campaigns, Spartz responded: “not true.”
“Republican leadership has been supportive and appreciate my demands for accountability and a real strategy for the war effort in Ukraine,” she said.
Spartz also admonished her colleagues for making anonymous claims about her interest in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “A lot of members of Congress behave immaturely and are deeply unserious dealing with very serious issues,” she said.
The Biden administration has also gotten involved. Spartz recently received a nearly two-hour briefing from officials from the National Security Council and State Department after requesting one from the White House about Ukraine, sources familiar with the meeting told CNN, where the officials walked through her claims of improper behavior inside the Ukrainian government and either refuted the allegations or said there was not enough evidence to support them.
Spartz also requested a meeting with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to discuss her concerns, the sources said. The meeting was first reported by Politico. When they met, she again raised concerns about corruption in Ukraine and alleged that US-provided weapons were not going to the right places.
Milley did not dismiss her concerns outright, the sources said — US officials believe corruption continues to be a problem in Ukraine. In a recent call with Ukrainian counterparts, Milley, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed “the importance of Ukraine continuing to implement its reform agenda” with regard to corruption, “despite the challenges caused by the war,” according to a readout provided by the White House.
Broadly, however, Milley explained to Spartz that her concerns were overwrought, the sources explained.
Spartz told CNN that her meeting with Milley “was not my first meeting with him,” and that “I give him credit for his willingness to listen.”
“I believe he understands the challenges of our effort in Ukraine, but the politicians and foreign policy establishment are making strategic decisions, not military leaders,” she said. “This should trouble all Americans as these are the know-nothing know-it-alls who oversaw the debacle in Afghanistan, and other foreign policy blunders, and have faced zero accountability.”
Several days after meeting with Milley, Spartz continued her public attacks on one of Zelensky’s top aides, accusing him of “creating a per se dictatorship under the disguise of the ongoing war.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told CNN he has not privately spoken to Spartz about her criticism of the Ukraine government. But he did credit the Indiana lawmaker for being passionate about the issue and helping to draw attention to the war — especially in the early days of the conflict, when Spartz delivered an emotional public plea to the Biden administration for a concrete Ukraine strategy during a GOP press conference that garnered widespread media coverage.
“The thing you’ve got to understand: she’s got family there, she’s very passionate about it,” McCarthy said. “It’s very personal.”
Concerns about Spartz abroad
There is also concern about Spartz’s behavior abroad. Slotkin said Spartz came up in multiple meetings and dinners when she was recently in Kyiv and that last week she received a text message from a member of the Ukrainian parliament saying they don’t know if Spartz is being “played” but “she has ruined her reputation in Ukraine.”
“All the senior leaders were talking about it. They’re upset about it,” Slotkin said. “They don’t understand why she’s doing this.”
Ukrainian officials have become increasingly alarmed by Spartz’s rhetoric over the last several months, Ukrainian sources told CNN, particularly her persistent attacks on Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff Andriy Yermak. In tweets last month, she accused Yermak of “undemocratic governance” and said he had a “negative reputation” globally. And on July 8, Spartz sent a letter to Biden requesting a briefing specifically about Yermak “and his alleged dealings in connection with Russia.”
Spartz’s accusations are similar to those reported by Radio Free Europe before the war, which alleged Yermak had business ties to Russia. That allegation has been used by Zelensky’s critics to suggest Yermak might be too willing to bend to Kremlin demands, particularly following a controversial prisoner swap deal in 2021. There is no evidence that he is under the Kremlin’s sway, however, and he has denied the allegations.
Ukrainian officials have questioned Spartz’s motivations. In text messages to a Zelensky aide on June 24, Spartz offered to “connect” the aide “with the right people” who she said could help Ukraine’s army win.
“Do you want me to send someone good to discuss training when you are back or maybe he could meet with Reznyk or someone else this coming week?” Spartz asked, referring to Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. “Some of them can also bring some very advanced equipment for you to use … he will do it as a favor for you and for me so we will have to keep these meetings ‘off the record,'” Spartz wrote.
Asked about these texts, Spartz told CNN they were taken out of context and that she has “simply been trying to help make connections for anyone willing to help Ukraine win the war especially to some veterans who can give free and unbiased advice as a favor to me since they are my friends.” She added that “the insinuation I have some financial interest is flatly untrue; I’m spending tens of thousands of my own money to help in Ukraine. Mr. Yermak’s financial interests are what merits investigation.”
Ukrainian officials have offered to set up a meeting between Yermak and Spartz to clear the air, but Spartz has declined to take it, sources said. Spartz acknowledged that she was offered a meeting with Yermak after she sent the letter to Biden, but then the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry criticized her attacks on Yermak as “cynical” and “baseless.”
“I determined this meeting would not be productive under those circumstances,” she said.

During Zero Hour in Lok Sabha, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey raised the issue of some Urdu-medium schools in Jharkhand who are observing weekly holiday on Fridays instead of Sundays, and demanded a probe into it by the NIA, fearing "Islamisation" and demanded that the Centre withhold funds to these schools.

A Place in the Sun buyers cut a house viewing short on today's show.
Danni Menzies fronted Friday's edition of the popular Channel 4 programme. The property expert was helping Martyn and Sharon search for their perfect holiday home in the Algarve.
The couple were looking for a spacious two bed property and had a maximum budget of £180,000. However, the search proved to be tricky as Martyn and Sharon were particularly unimpressed with the second property on the latest programme.

The two bed apartment was situated in Albufeira and was split across two floors. The property was priced at £145,872, but Martyn and Sharon were taken aback by the exterior.
Danni assured the buyers the building was getting a facelift next year and they proceeded to view the interior. However, they were similarly unimpressed by the inside and cut the search short before they viewed the full property.
Danni said she was shocked by the buyer's scathing reaction and vowed to up her game after she admitted it was "a bit of a flop". Martyn and Sharon upped their budget during the episode when Danni revealed the amount people could make from renting the property.
The buyers added an extra £50,000 to their budget and were impressed by the final home on today's show. The two bed apartment in Quarteira was valued at £211,009, but the buyers initially decided against putting in a bid at the end of the episode.

13,92,265 electric vehicles are currently running on Indian roads: Govt
New Delhi, Aug 05: The Centre on Friday said that 13,92,265 Electric Vehicles (EVs) are currently on the Indian roads.
In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Heavy Industries Krishan Pal Gurjar informed that the highest number of electric vehicles in India is three-wheeler.
As per data available with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, out of 13,92,265 Electric Vehicles in the country, 7,93,370 are three-wheeler, 5,44,643 are two-wheeler and 54,252 are four-wheeler and above. The numbers mentioned are as of August 3.
According to the data, the sale of EVs in FY 2021-22 has gone up over three times as compared to sale of EVs in FY 2020-21 from to 1,34,460. The minister informed the parliament that the government has taken a number of steps to boost the adoption of electric vehicles in the country.
The government on 12th May, 2021 approved the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for manufacturing of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) in the country in order to bring down prices of battery in the country.
Drop in battery prices will result in cost reduction of electric vehicles. Electric Vehicles are eligible for incentives under PLI scheme for Automobile and auto Components, which was approved on 15th September 2021 with a budgetary outlay of Rs 25,938 crore for a period of five years. GST on electric vehicles has been reduced from 12 per cent to 5 per cent; GST on chargers/ charging stations for electric vehicles has been reduced from 18 per cent to 5 per cent. Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) announced that battery-operated vehicles will be given green license plates and be exempted from permit requirements. MoRTH issued a notification advising states to waive road tax on EVs, which in turn will help reduce the initial cost of EVs, the minister informed. | https://www.oneindia.com/india/13-92-265-electric-vehicles-are-currently-running-on-indian-roads-govt-3444093.html | 2022-08-05T16:44:18Z | https://www.oneindia.com/india/13-92-265-electric-vehicles-are-currently-running-on-indian-roads-govt-3444093.html | true | 5 |
When my boyfriend kisses me, it feels like he’s kissing his grandma.
DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my boyfriend kisses me, it feels like he’s kissing his grandma.
Instead of a proper snog, all I get is a quick peck on the cheek.
The only time he kisses me enthusiastically on the mouth is during sex.
We’ve been together for four years. I’m 26 and he’s 30.
Sex with him is OK, but it feels a bit like a chore.
I want real passion, like I had with past boyfriends.
We used to kiss for hours and it was so exciting.
My boyfriend never compliments me.
I want to be made to feel super sexy and attractive – and the grandma kisses are such a turn-off.

DEIDRE SAYS: You do need to tell your boyfriend what you are telling me.
While he sounds like a selfish lover, he may just be clueless about what you enjoy.
Compatibility is not always instant. It sounds like he’s stuck in a sexual routine that has worked for him in the past.
If you can be intimate with someone, you shouldn’t feel embarrassed to tell them what you like in bed.

My mum doesn’t want to see me – am I wrong to abandon her?
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER years of severe mental health problems, my mother has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and taken into a home.
She’s 85 and I’m 50.
And although I’m relieved because she made everyone’s life hell, I feel guilty.
Mum’s behaviour got more and more bizarre over the past few years.
She had delusions and screaming fits and would phone the police saying my dad, who is 87, was attacking her.
Sometimes, I’d go round to find him cowering in the bathroom.
She was always very controlling and said and did weird things.
Dad was her main victim, but my life was also badly affected. She ruined my childhood.

A fiery crash left at least five people dead and several others injured outside Los Angeles.
Authorities said a Mercedes ran a red light Thursday and slammed into several cars in the middle of an intersection. Surveillance video from the area shows a ball of fire upon impact.
"It looked like the whole intersection from corner to corner was on fire," a witness told ABC 7.
A pregnant woman and a baby are among the deceased, authorities said. The injured include six children and two adults, according to KCAL.
The Los Angeles Times reports the driver of the Mercedes survived the crash and was conscious and speaking.

Football is starting to see a split when it comes to fans, with some appreciating the more “traditional” blood and thunder approach and others who prefer the thinking and tactical side of the game.
English football is unfortunately lumbered with plenty of dinosaurs who failed to move on from the 4-4-2 approach and being in the pub a few hours before the game, so someone like Marcelo Bielsa was an easy target when Leeds weren’t doing well.
That resentment seemed to stem purely from the fact that the loved to think about the game and had tactical principles that many hadn’t seen in the Premier League, while his time at Elland Road ended badly as he was eventually sacked.
It’s fair to say that he is still seen as a legend by plenty of Leeds fans after his work to re-establish them as a Premier League side, and the Athletic have reported that he will be honoured by having the training ground named after him.
It will be a fitting tribute to one of the greatest managers that the game has ever seen, and it also shows that he didn’t leave on bad terms, it was purely a case of the owners doing what they felt they had to do to preserve their top-flight status. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/08/05/leeds-united-set-to-make-grand-gesture-to-honour-marcelo-bielsa/ | 2022-08-05T17:00:37Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/08/05/leeds-united-set-to-make-grand-gesture-to-honour-marcelo-bielsa/ | true | 1 |
The unofficial horse capital of Canada now has its first homegrown professional rodeo event, taking place through the Labour Day weekend, from Saturday to Monday, Sept. 3 to 5.
Fans of the Cloverdale Rodeo, which has been absent the past three years, will be happy to hear that Langley has introduced the Valley West Stampede featuring bareback riding, ladies barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding.
Each of the events is fully sanctioned by the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) and feature $20,000 in prize money.
After the four main events, the stampede will conclude with mutton busting for kids. It will also include several other activities and attractions dispersed throughout the grounds, including Langley 4-H exhibits and a cowboy breakfast.
Taking place at the Langley Riders Society grounds on 208th Street, this event will have capacity for 2,000 spectators each day, explained Valley West Stampede president Sheila Hicks.
“We’ve kept it relatively small in order to do it really well,” Hicks said.
Rather than having this be a one-time event, the organizers hope it’s the start of a new chapter in Langley’s rodeo scene.
“This will lay the groundwork for an annual event that will bring in visitors and contestants, as well as build tourism throughout the area,” she elaborated.
“In no way are we trying to replace the Cloverdale Rodeo. What we’re doing is essentially supplementing it, so that now there are two rodeos in the Lower Mainland,” said John Scotton, vice president of the Langley Riders Society.
RELATED: 2022 Cloverdale Rodeo cancelled
First Nation involvement is a key component of the new stampede, according to Hicks.
“Kwantlen First Nation members and the Indigenous Knowledge Keepers will help with the opening ceremonies, as well as performing throughout the event.”
The event is also being led by vice president James Delorme, a member of Klahoose First Nation, who emphasized the importance of doing this stampede properly.
“It’s really critical that we do this in the right way. It’s about entertainment, getting together, and unity, but it’s also about caring about the animals. It’s about us being together to do a good thing,” said Delorme.
Although no protestors were present at Wednesday’s press conference, members of the Vancouver Human Society, BC SPCA, and other animals rights groups have publicly expressed displeasure with the upcoming Langley rodeo.

Although Federal Realty believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 10, 2022, and include the following:
- risks that our tenants will not pay rent, may vacate early or may file for bankruptcy or that we may be unable to renew leases or re-let space at favorable rents as leases expire or to fill existing vacancy;
- risks that we may not be able to proceed with or obtain necessary approvals for any development, redevelopment or renovation project, and that completion of anticipated or ongoing property development, redevelopment or renovation projects that we do pursue may cost more, take more time to complete or fail to perform as expected;
- risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including risks that occupancy levels at our properties and the amount of rent that we receive from our properties may be lower than expected, that new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected, that competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for acquisitions, that costs associated with the periodic maintenance and repair or renovation of space, insurance and other operations may increase, that environmental issues may develop at our properties and result in unanticipated costs, and, because real estate is illiquid, that we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate;
- risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital;
- risks associated with general economic conditions, including local economic conditions in our geographic markets;
- risks of financing on terms which are acceptable to us, our ability to meet existing financial covenants and the limitations imposed on our operations by those covenants, and the possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in increased interest expense;
- risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, commonly referred to as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such as the existence of complex tax regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation, and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT; and
- risks related to natural disasters, climate change and public health crises (such as the outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19), and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address them, may precipitate or materially exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned risks, and may significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period.

“Cruzeiro is already planning and hiring players with an eye on the 2023 season.” The phrase of a Brazilian football figure who had the opportunity to negotiate with Raposa in recent days. You may be wondering: but we are still in the eighth month of 2022.
“Ronaldo already knows that Cruzeiro will be in the first division next year. That’s why there was a change in the hiring policy”, adds the source, referring to the investments to acquire the economic rights of some of the latest reinforcements, something unimaginable in the first half.
Rafael Cabral, Rafa Silva, Neto Moura, Bidu, Z Ivaldo, Jaj… all the reinforcements of the Ronaldo Era during the 1st semester came to zero cost. Edu, bought for R$ 600 thousand, had been hired by Alexandre Mattos, before the Cruzeirense SAF became official.
Rafael Cabral’s stay is another step inspired by the huge change in financial level, which is based on his presence in the 2023 Series A, with TV quotas guaranteeing an increase of more than R$ 100 million in a year. To ignore proposals from So Paulo and Sampdoria, the goalkeeper, whose salary was already the highest in the squad – R$ 300,000 monthly -, assured a readjustment.
This week, Felipe Vizeu, ex-Flamengo, opened up his intention to be part of the “Ronaldo project”, but seems to have declared himself belatedly. that Lincoln, another striker revealed in Gvea, had his loan secured – and with the Japanese from Vissel Kobe paying part of the salaries. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/05/ronaldo-opens-the-coffers-and-starts-second-phase-at-cruzeiro-2/ | 2022-08-05T17:07:30Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/05/ronaldo-opens-the-coffers-and-starts-second-phase-at-cruzeiro-2/ | true | 3 |
Highlights
- Govt is set to hold exhibitions on "horrors of the Partition" on Independence Day
- The exhibitions will be displayed at select railway stations, airports
- Ministry advised "enough arrangements for security should be made for the exhibition"
75th Independence Day: The government is set to hold exhibitions on "horrors of the Partition" at key public places such as railway stations, airports and malls between August 10 and August 14.
The Ministry of Culture has written to the Railway Ministry to hold such exhibitions on station premises to reach out to a maximum number of people.
Other than railway stations, such exhibitions to highlight the "tragedy of the Partition" should be organised at important public places such as banks, post offices, airports, shopping malls, educational institutions, petrol pumps, skill development centres and vocational training institutes.
The ministry has also advised that "enough arrangements for security should be made for the exhibition."
In his Independence Day speech last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared August 14 to be observed as "Partition Horrors Remembrance Day".
"Partition Horrors Remembrance Day has been envisaged to bring to light the agony, suffering and pain of millions of people who were the sufferers of Partition. It is to remind the country of the largest displacement of human population in the last century, which also claimed the lives of a large number of people.
"Your ministry has vast outreach through various railway stations across the country. Therefore, it has been decided that you may ask the railway stations to display this exhibition in 700 places," Culture Ministry secretary Govind Mohan wrote in a letter to Railway Board Chairman and CEO V K Tripathi.
He has also said that to showcase the sufferings of the Partition-affected people, the exhibition has been curated jointly by the Indian Council of Historical Research (CHR) and Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA).
This exhibition, in English and Hindi, is available in digital format at the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav website.
The ministry has also said that given the sensitivity of the issue, "it should be ensured that the exhibition is showcased with the sobriety and solemnness that it deserves.
It should be especially ensured that the sentiments of any section of society are not allowed to be hurt."
The ministry has also issued a standard operating procedure for organising these programmes.

DUBLIN, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Plant-based Meat Market by Source (Soy, Wheat, Blends, Pea), Product (Burger Patties, Strips & Nuggets, Sausages, Meatballs), Type (Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish), Distribution Channel, Storage and Region - Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
According to the publisher, the global plant-based meat market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.9 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 15.7 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 14.7%, in terms of value between 2022 and 2027. The market is gaining momentum with the increasing demand for plant-based meat products. Additionally, increasing awareness among consumers about the benefits offered by a vegan diet is one of the major factors that is propelling the demand for plant-based meat products across the world. Key players have been investing significantly in R&D to cater to changing consumer preferences and reduce production costs.
By source, the soy segment occupies the highest market share during the forecast period
Based on the source, the soy segment is estimated to occupy the highest market share during the forecast period. Soy is a nutrient-dense legume that is an alternative to meat sources. Traditionally, the consumption of soy and soy products is associated with the Asian population, and it is widely used compared to wheat and corn. However, concern associated with soy is that it is a recognized allergen in a significant population.
By type, the beef segment is forecasted to account for the largest market share
Based on the type, the beef segment accounts for the largest market share and it would dominate the market in terms of value during the forecast period. Plant-based beef provides similar characteristics to that of beef. Beef-related plant-based products, such as meat-free beef pieces, no-beef burgers, beef watercress, and beefsteak, are made from sources such as soy and wheat.
By product, the burger patties segment is forecasted to dominate the market during the forecasted period
Based on product, the burger patties segment accounts for the highest market share in 2022. The plant-based burger patties are made from legumes, grains, and various vegetables. Beyond Meat (US), one of the key players in the market supplies its burger patty to different food service locations in the US and has also partnered with Dot Foods (US), which is the largest food redistributor in the US.
By distribution channel, food retail segment is estimated to account for the highest market share
Based on distribution channels, the food retail segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in the global plant-based meat market and is projected to grow at a significant CAGR. The companies operating in the market are forming partnerships with retail outlets to distribute their products. The plant-based meat products are one of the key drivers of sales in the grocery section in food retail channels.
European region is the largest market for the plant-based meat market during the forecast period
Europe is the largest region in the plant-based meat market and it is growing with a considerable CAGR between 2022 and 2027. In Europe, the growing vegan trends, especially in the UK, are expected to increase the demand for plant-based meat products. The UK is projected to be the largest plant-based meat market in Europe during the forecast period. The rising health concerns among the consumers regarding meat products, consumers' growing inclination toward healthy plant-based meat products, and the exponentially growing veganism trend in the country are the key factors driving the growth of the plant-based meat market.

MANILA — Screen veteran Cherie Gil, whose five-decade career saw her become local showbiz’s “La Primera Contravida,” has passed away, her family announced on Friday. She was 59.
Her nephew, actor Sid Lucero, confirmed her passing to ABS-CBN News, saying Gil had been ill “for some time,” without giving further details.
“Let’s also stand by for the details and plans from her immediate family,” he added.
Born Evangeline Rose Gil Eigenmann, the acclaimed actress was considered showbiz royalty, forming part of the celebrity Eigenmann clan.
The daughter of singer-actors Eddie Mesa and Rosemaarie Gil, she was among the second-generation Gil actors, along with her siblings Michael de Mesa and the late Mark Gil. She was aunt to the Eigenmann actors, including Ryan, Geoff, Andi, Gabby, and Max.
Gil’s two children with her former husband, violinist Rony Rogoff — Bianca and Raphael — did not pursue an acting career in the Philippines. She has another son, Jay, from her past relationship with actor Leo Martinez.
Dubbed the quintessential “kontrabida” in local TV and film, Gil is best remembered for her villainess roles, including the iconic Lavinia in the 1985 film “Bituing Walang Ningning,” and the snake-haired Valentine, daughter of Valentina, in the 1994 iteration of “Darna.”
In February, Gil surprised her followers with her announcement of moving to New York. At the time, Gil posed for a pictorial with her head completely shaven, as a symbol of her “rebirth.”
“I just had to make sure that first and foremost, my mental, emotional, spiritual states were getting the priority. I was getting tired of myself. And I was just so angry and unhappy, so I sold everything and packed up,” she told lifestyle magazine Mega.
“I got rid of all the clothes I had that symbolized a past life… I’m completely finding myself and coming to terms with who I really am. It’s just great to have this opportunity and to be alive to start over. It’s like a rebirth of sorts.”

Private lender ICICI Bank and India's second-largest state-owned bank PNB on Friday raised their lending rates on Friday. The hike in the lending rate came after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased the benchmark interest rate by 0.50%.
To stamp out inflation, the RBI increased the repo rate at which it lends short-term money to banks by a steep 50 basis points or 0.5% to a three-year high of 5.40%.
To stamp out inflation, the RBI increased the repo rate at which it lends short-term money to banks by a steep 50 basis points or 0.5% to a three-year high of 5.40%.
Consequently, ICICI Bank said it is External Benchmark Lending Rate now stands at 9.10% p.a.p.m. (per annum payable monthly) effective August 5, 2022.
Whereas PNB also raised the repo, the external benchmark, linked lending rate to 7.90%.
"Consequent upon an increase in repo rate by RBI, the Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) has been revised from 7.40% to 7.90% with effect from August 8, 2022," the public sector bank said in a regulatory filing on Friday.
This month, ICICI Bank also revised the marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) by 0.15% across all tenors.
Separately, Governor Shaktikanta Das said "unacceptably high" inflation trending around the 7% mark led the RBI to hike rates by an aggressive 0.50%.
Stating that there are signs that headline inflation, which has breached the 6% upper threshold set for the RBI for six consecutive months, has peaked, Das on Friday said policy moves from here on will be "calibrated, measured and nimble" and will depend on unfolding dynamics.
The governor also mentioned that as per the RBI's assessment, the Indian economy is an isle of macroeconomic and financial stability in a turbulent ocean right now, and has braved two black swan events of the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It can be noted that while the MPC retained the FY23 forecast at 6.7%, it said the April-June 2023 quarter will see the headline number at 5%. There was also a mention of the objective to achieve a 4% CPI target in Das' statement earlier in the day. | https://www.livemint.com/industry/banking/icici-bank-pnb-hike-external-benchmark-based-lending-rates-check-details/amp-11659713745858.html | 2022-08-05T17:22:21Z | https://www.livemint.com/industry/banking/icici-bank-pnb-hike-external-benchmark-based-lending-rates-check-details/amp-11659713745858.html | true | 2 |
CONCORD, Mass., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lorestry, the world's first and only app that maps health data for parents to the language of healthcare, now captures mother-baby dyad stories during pregnancy.
A free, next-generation app for a new generation of parents, Lorestry provides expecting parents with a meaningful and powerful health data asset that they curate and control. With Lorestry, it is parents –– not health systems, payers, or providers, who determine who has access to their private information. Parents can use their data set for informed conversations, relationship-building, sharing, collaboration, self-advocacy, and family health history creation.
The expanded version of the app has been released at a critical period for maternal-child health.
- In 2020, the CDC reported that U.S. maternal mortality rates had increased to 24 percent, an increase of 4% over 2019 figures. (Maternal mortality rates are deaths per 100,000 live births.)
- Nearly one in 5 pregnant women are over 35. According to the CDC, maternal mortality rates increase with the maternal age. For women 40 and older, the maternal mortality rate in 2020 was almost 8 times higher than the rate for individuals under age 25.
Lorestry, the first app that collects and maps real-world data for consumers, includes daily tracking of maternal feelings, documentation of conditions that may be diagnosed in utero, and the social/environmental conditions that impact maternal-child outcomes. Access to air conditioning, as just one example, has a serious impact on maternal health and infant prematurity. In July 2021, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) released new clinical guidance about heat and environmental risks and highlighted "that climate change is an urgent women's health concern as well as a major public health challenge." Additionally, ACOG states that "There is emerging evidence that links exposure to toxic environmental agents and adverse reproductive and developmental health outcomes."
Lorestry provides a way to capture social determinants of health (SDoH) and environmental determinants of health (EDoH) variables which can be shared with health systems, community health, and early education providers. Privately capturing this information in real-time and outside of the clinical setting, reduces geographical barriers, and should help accelerate time-sensitive interventions that have been shown to improve life outcomes. The app simultaneously creates a longitudinal record of early life experiences and developmental progression.
Lorestry is a top ranked pregnancy and baby app in 14 countries, and available on the App store.

Xbox Insiders in Colombia and Ireland can preview new Game Pass family plan
The plan will let you share your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription with up to four people.
In a post to the Xbox Wire blog, it was revealed that Microsoft is working on a family plan for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that’ll allow you to share your subscription with up to four people, each of whom will have their own unique, individual access to “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits.”
While the feature has yet to be made available in countries like the United States and Canada, Xbox Insiders residing in Colombia and Ireland will be able to preview the plan starting today. Note that if you wish to participate in the preview, you’ll not only need to be in one of the two aforementioned countries, you’ll also need to purchase the “Xbox Game Pass – Insider Preview” Game Pass plan in the Microsoft Store.
Additional information on what’s included in the preview is also shared such as how people you share your membership with don’t have to be Insiders, but must also reside in the same country as you (Colombia, Ireland). Furthermore, joining the Game Pass – Insider Preview will “convert the time remaining on your membership to time in the new plan, based upon the monetary value of the old membership.”
Things to know about this preview:
- The people you share your membership with do not have to be Insiders but must reside in the same country as you. Enrollment is limited and will remain open while the offer is available.
- Joining the Game Pass – Insider Preview will convert the time remaining on your membership to time in the new plan, based upon the monetary value of the old membership. For example, a full month of Ultimate will be converted to 18 days of membership for this plan. This way you won’t lose any of the remaining value on your existing subscription upon conversion. Conversion is final, and users must wait for their new membership to expire before returning to a previous membership.
- Conversion is not available for invited group members. Before joining a group, a group member can cancel their existing subscription or wait for it to expire. If they do not have a Microsoft account, invited friends and family will have to create a new Microsoft account and sign in with it to participate.
- Members with Xbox All Access won’t be able to participate in this preview.
- In Colombia, parts of the copy for the preview have not been localized and might be displayed in English.
Separate from these bullet points, Microsoft also shared a list of known issues so if you do decide to partake in the preview, you’ll have a proper heads up as to what you might encounter in the process. For more on this, be sure to read through the full Xbox Wire blog post.
After hearing about the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate family plan, and Insider previews for it in Colombia and Ireland, we’re curious to hear your thoughts on the matter. Is this something you could see yourself taking advantage of once it becomes available in your country? Let us know in Chatty!
For more on what else Microsoft has been up to, also be sure to read through some of our previous coverage including how Microsoft’s (MSFT) FY23 guidance anticipated double digit revenue growth despite currency headwinds.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced federal charges against four former and current Louisville Metro Police Department officers related to the death of Breonna Taylor and violations of Kenneth Walker's constitutional rights. The charges include Civil Rights Violations, Unlawful Conspiracies, Unconstitutional Use of Force, and Obstruction Offenses.
The indicted officers are named defendants in a federal lawsuit and a state court lawsuit brought by Kenneth Walker. The federal action seeks damages for the LMPD officers' fabrication of evidence to obtain a warrant to search Ms. Taylor's residence; their execution of the warrant in defiance of the Fourth Amendment "knock and announce" requirement; and their use of overwhelming and excessive force when Mr. Walker, a licensed gun owner, sought to defend himself and Ms. Taylor against what he reasonably thought were threatening intruders. The state court action seeks damages for both the assault and battery inflicted upon Mr. Walker after he witnessed the killing of Ms. Taylor, as well as his subsequent false arrest and malicious prosecution.
Mr. Walker is represented by Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the former Solicitor General of the United States, Ruby Garrett, Dahlia Mignouna, Brendan Gants, Jacob Kreilkamp, and Robyn Bacon of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP; Professor Cliff Sloan of Georgetown University Law Center; Steven Romines of Romines Weiss and Young; and Frederick Moore, Abby Green, and Phil Grossman of Grossman Green PLLC.
Steve Romines, one of the Kentucky-based attorneys representing Mr. Walker, released the following statement.
"We have said from the beginning that various LMPD officers repeatedly violated their own policies and Kenny Walker's constitutional rights in the investigation, raid, and subsequent false arrest of Kenny in an attempt to cover up their own wrongdoings in the killing of Breonna Taylor. It appears a federal grand jury agreed. We will continue to seek justice in the civil courts and call for changes to policies and procedures that protect all our citizens. No other person should ever live through what Mr. Walker has lived through. We call on LMPD to complete an internal review of the injustices to Mr. Walker and a publication of changes in the way police officers are trained and supervised."

Uttarakhand tourism department to develop 'Modi Circuit' at Corbett Tiger Reserve
Uttarakhand tourism department to develop 'Modi Circuit' at Corbett Tiger Reserve
Dehradun: The Uttarakhand tourism department is working on a plan to develop a "Modi circuit" at the Corbett Tiger Reserve, covering the places visited by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while shooting for a television programme in 2019.
Modi had undertaken a slew of adventure activities while shooting for an episode of "Man vs Wild", hosted by Bear Grylls on Discovery channel. During the shoot, Modi and Grylls crossed the Kosi river on a makeshift raft and walked through a tiger trail, with the prime minister holding a spear in his hand. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a big influencer of our times. Places that he visits generate great interest among people," said Colonel Ashvini Pundir, Additional CEO of the adventure sports wing of the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board.

He cited the example of a cave at Kedarnath where the prime minister meditated a few years ago. "It became so popular that people started booking it months in advance to visit the place," Pundir said. The "Modi circuit" will further boost tourism at the Corbett Tiger Reserve, which is already a popular tourist destination, he added. However, the details of the plan are still being worked out, Pundir said.
The spots inside the reserve visited by Modi and Grylls during the shoot will first be identified. Then it will be seen what arrangements can be made to take tourists to those spots, Pundir said. The idea of developing a "Modi circuit" in the tiger reserve first came to Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj during a trip to Croatia, where a "Game of Thrones tour circuit" has been developed for tourists, covering the locations where the popular television series was shot.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department announced civil rights charges Thursday against four Louisville police officers over the drug raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman whose fatal shooting contributed to the racial justice protests that rocked the U.S. in the spring and summer of 2020.
Federal charges against former officers Joshua Jaynes, Brett Hankison and Kelly Goodlett, along with Sgt. Kyle Meany were announced by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday.
Garland said federal officials “share but cannot fully imagine the grief” felt by Taylor’s family.
“Breonna Taylor should be alive today,” he said.
Taylor, a 26-year-old Black medical worker, was shot to death by Louisville officers who had knocked down her door while executing the search warrant. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a shot that hit one of the officers as they came through the door and they returned fire, striking Taylor multiple times.
Hankison, who was dismissed from the department in 2020, was one of the officers at Taylor’s door and one of three who fired shots that night. He was acquitted by a jury of state charges of wanton endangerment earlier this year in Louisville.
Jaynes had applied for the warrant to search Taylor’s house. He was fired in January 2021 by former Louisville Police interim chief Yvette Gentry for violating department standards in the preparation of a search warrant execution and for being “untruthful” in the Taylor warrant. | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-charge-4-louisville-police-officers-in-fatal-breonna-taylor-raid-01659629820 | 2022-08-05T17:39:17Z | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-charge-4-louisville-police-officers-in-fatal-breonna-taylor-raid-01659629820 | false | 16 |
CBS Sports has confidence the Nittany Lions are ready to bounce back from the 2-6 collapse to end the 2021 season. Penn State is listed at #18 in the latest poll released today, fitting snuggly between Cincinatti and Miami (Fla).
There are a couple rankings that will raise eyebrows for not being the safe choices typically found in these polls - Utah is at four, as they are becomming a trendy playoff pick with the hopes of an undefeated season. The Utes would need to first win its week one contest against Florida in The Swamp. They will have another difficult non-conference game against San Diego State, as well as a road trip to Oregon that highlights their Pac-12 slate. Meanwhile, NC State just missed the top 10, coming in at #11 following a 9-3 season.
Penn State was the fourth-highest ranked Big Ten squad, with Ohio State at #2, Michigan at #8, and Wisconsin at #15. Michigan State was the other Big Ten team included at #20.
Alabama topped the list, while defending national champions Georgia start off at #3.
Penn State’s non-conference opponents came in at #47 (Auburn), #79 (Central Michigan) and #114 (Ohio). Penn State’s week one opponent Purdue was listed at #34.
Coming in dead last at #131? You guessed it, Frank Stallone UMASS. | https://www.blackshoediaries.com/2022/8/5/23293615/penn-state-nittany-lions-football-2022-cbs-preseason-poll-august-sean-clifford | 2022-08-05T17:41:26Z | https://www.blackshoediaries.com/2022/8/5/23293615/penn-state-nittany-lions-football-2022-cbs-preseason-poll-august-sean-clifford | true | 1 |

As early as June 15 this year, Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer will be officially discontinued, and Windows 11 will not be able to use the IE browser. The purpose is to let users quickly get used to the environment without IE. Now most websites use Microsoft Edge to surf the Internet with almost no problems, and they can browse normally, but if you still want to use the IE browser in Windows 11, some foreign users have recently found a way.
Foreign users find a way to keep using IE in Windows 11
Recently, a XenoPanther user shared on Twitter how he discovered that Windows 11 can run Internet Explorer, he wrote “You thought Internet Explorer was dead, didn’t you? Hahaha”, and attached a video of successfully enabling Internet Explorer:
you thought Internet Explorer was dead, didn’t you? muahahaha 😈
⎛⎝( ` ᢍ ´ )⎠⎞ pic.twitter.com/i5bXZwLRr3
— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) August 3, 2022
Then he also shared a method, so that people in need can try it out for themselves. The steps are as follows:
- Turn on the search function (that is, the search in the start column at the bottom)
- Search for “Internet Options”
- Go to the “Programs” menu
- Click on Manage Add-ons
- Click the “Learn More About Toolbar and Extensions” function at the bottom, and the Internet Explorer browser will open
In startm search “internet options”, then go to the Program tab, click “Manage add-ons” then at the bottom, there’ll be a label that says “Learn more about toolbars and extensions”, just click that and it should open IE
— Xeno (@XenoPanther) August 2, 2022
Judging from the attempts shared by other netizens, even the Windows 11 22H2 method is successful, but if it is the last version of the Dev channel, it seems to have failed, which means that after the new version is launched in the future, there is no way to use this method. Open Internet Explorer.
Although this little trick can force open Internet Explorer, which makes people feel quite novel, but at this stage, it seems that there is no necessary key to use. After all, Mircrosoft Edge also provides Internet Explorer mode when browsing some old web pages.
In addition, as Microsoft abandoned Internet Explorer and focused on improving the experience of using the Mircrosoft Edge browser, the latest data from Statcounter a few days ago pointed out that the market share of the Mircrosoft Edge browser has gradually increased, reaching 10.64% in June 2022. There is still a gap between the 66.93% of Google Chrome browser, but at least there is an increase, and it is already the second place, the third is Safari, followed by Firefox, Opera, and IE is only 0.75%:
I’ve also been using Mircrosoft Edge for a long time, and it does work better than Google Chrome, especially with less system resource usage.
Now both Chrome and Mircrosoft Edge can install any website into a web application, making it easier for you to use.

July 2021, the Pope recites the Angelus from the Gemelli – Ansa Polyclinic
A very demanding definition, in which a sense of gratitude and recognition of great professional ability coexist. But which, precisely for this reason, calls for an even more marked sense of responsibility. Massimiliano Strappetti is for everyone the nurse who saved the Pope’s life. Francis himself explained it, without mentioning him directly, a few weeks after the colon surgery he underwent at the Gemelli polyclinic on 4 July 2021 Interviewed by Radio Cope (broadcaster of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference), the Pontiff underlined his “over 30 years of experience”, adding that it was he who pushed for him to undergo the surgery. «He told Me ‘You have to have an operation’». And this, despite the contrary opinion of those who suggested limiting oneself to antibiotic therapy. That insistence was then decisive, since in removing the diverticular stenosis that made the Pope suffer, the surgeons had found necrotic tissue.
Engaged in volunteering
Massimiliano Strappetti – Photo Ansa taken from the Facebook profile
Before and after that day, Strappetti, 52, followed the Pope’s health step by step. A closeness formalized yesterday in the position of “personal health assistant” of the Pope. It means that the “coordinator of the Vatican direction of health and hygiene” will collaborate even more closely with the Pontiff’s doctor, Professor Roberto Bernabei, professor of geriatrics at the Catholic University .
In reality, quite little is known about Strappetti’s biography. On his social profiles the appointment made yesterday is not reported. The latest posts on Facebook are instead dedicated to scenes of family life and a tribute to grandparents and grandmothers, because becoming one “does not mean being old, but having been blessed with the best gift that can exist”. Among the few known details, however, Strappetti’s commitment, already at the service of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, stands out in volunteering for the homeless, in which he collaborates with the cardinal almsgiver Konrad Krajewski. Another official fact is that he arrived at the Vatican after a professional process that saw him busy at Gemelli, even in the intensive care unit.
Nurses, saints next door
The Pope at Gemelli during last year’s hospitalization – Ansa
Beyond the appointment, however, his life will not change that much. He will continue to carry out the role of “guardian angel” for the sick and frail as it is for nurses who dedicate heart and soul to their profession. The Pope himself underlined this several times, even calling them “saints next door”. In particular, two years ago in the Message for the day dedicated to them, Francis wrote that «every day, in contact with the sick» nurses and nurses «experience the trauma that suffering causes in a person’s life. They are men and women who have chosen to answer “yes” to a particular vocation: that of being good Samaritans who take charge of the life and wounds of others. Guardians and servants of life, while administering the necessary therapies, instill courage, hope and trust ».
A service, a capacity for support that Francis personally experienced several times. In 2021 but also in 1957 as revealed by Bergoglio himself in the same interview with Radio Cope. In the aforementioned circumstance, the future Pontiff was treated for an epidemic of flu that a nurse from the seminary was fighting with aspirin. Insufficient therapy, so much so that Bergoglio was taken to hospital where they took water from his lung. Then «the doctor said – continued the Pope -, I don’t remember well, a million units of penicillin and a lot of streptomycin and when he went out, the nurse told me: ‘twice as much’». That assumption of responsibility, that dose increase, was decisive for the recovery. And also for the Pontiff’s trust in a professional category that, so to speak, personifies the daily care, the being next to, like the guardian angels. As nurses and nurses in love with their profession, but above all with people. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/health/the-nurse-who-saved-the-popes-life-will-be-his-personal-health-assistant/ | 2022-08-05T17:49:21Z | https://www.breakinglatest.news/health/the-nurse-who-saved-the-popes-life-will-be-his-personal-health-assistant/ | true | 1 |
Peacock Announces Thriller Series Hysteria! Inspired by Satanic Panic
Back in the '70s and '80s, there were genuine concerns in some communities that Satanic cults were springing up and carrying out all sorts of heinous acts, with Peacock announcing today that Hysteria! has gotten a straight-to-series order, a project that aims to explore the real-world paranoia. From executive producers and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the series will chronicle a group of friends who are outcasts and first exploit the Satanic panic before becoming the target of the accusations themselves. Stay tuned for details on Hysteria! before it heads to Peacock at a later point in time.
The series is described, "When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the 'Satanic Panic' of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town's sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported 'supernatural activity' triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them."
Matthew Scott Kane serves as writer and executive producer. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein will executive produce and direct. Chris Bender and Jake Weiner will executive produce for Good Fear.
"Our upcoming thriller series Hysteria! will explore the complex world of the Satanic Panic, set amidst '80s nostalgia, mystery, heavy metal, and an all-American setting," Lisa Katz, President Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, shared in a statement. "We're excited to partner on this fresh, coming-of-age story led by writer Matthew Scott Kane, executive producers and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Good Fear, and our partners at UCP, for what is sure to be a compelling original series for Peacock viewers."
"This nail-biting thriller dives into a mass moral panic and all the fears, desires, anger, and dread that led to these dark days," Beatrice Springborn, President, UCP, added. "Matthew's script is original, intriguing, and perfectly captures the frenetic energy of the Satanic Panic. We can't wait for audiences to experience the show on Peacock."
As evidenced recently in Season 4 of Stranger Things, the real-world concerns of frightened communities showcase how its our friends and neighbors who we should truly be fearful of as opposed to forces from another realm.
Stay tuned for details on Hysteria! before it heads to Peacock.

I’ll be honest: when Dick Vermeil first became head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs on January 12, 2001, I didn’t want to like him.
It wasn’t because I had developed a distaste for him during the years he had been head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and St. Louis Rams. Like I always tell people: I’m a Chiefs fan first and foremost. To me, what happens with other NFL teams — unless it somehow impacts the Chiefs — is just background noise. So I just didn’t know enough about Vermeil to have a legitimate reason to dislike him.
If I was being honest with myself, my issue was more with Kansas City general manager Carl Peterson, who hadn’t even extended previous head coach Gunther Cunningham the courtesy of informing him that Vermeil was going to take over. I thought it was a poor way to treat a man who had served the franchise faithfully and well over the previous six seasons.
Full disclosure: I had become friendly with Cunningham when he was defensive coordinator under head coach Marty Schottenheimer — and also knew that he had worked himself to near-exhaustion as the team’s head coach. We like to talk about how head coach Andy Reid is at Arrowhead Stadium from sunup to sundown. Cunningham often slept on a cot in his office.
But for some reason, Peterson only rarely consulted with me when he was hiring head coaches. Go figure.
So whether I liked it or not, Vermeil would take over. I decided to make the best of it. Having never been in a press conference in which a head coach from outside the Chiefs organization was being introduced, I spent some time thinking about my first question. Apparently, no other reporters had thought of one — so when the Q&A period opened with an awkward silence, the humble radio reporter from the third row of the press box was able to jump right in.
“How do you like to be addressed?” I asked.
Vermeil looked startled for a moment — and then he smiled.
“Coach,” he said simply.
I was already beginning to warm up to him.
On Saturday, Vermeil will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, becoming the third former Chiefs head coach to be enshrined there. Eventually, Andy Reid will almost certainly don a gold jacket, taking his place alongside Vermeil, Hank Stram and Marv Levy.
Like Levy, the 85-year-old Vermeil has largely earned this accolade with what he did for other teams during his 15-year NFL head-coaching career. But while his Kansas City tenure did not include a trip to the Super Bowl (or even a playoff victory), his years as the team’s head coach are still fondly remembered by Chiefs fans.
It didn’t start off very well. Vermeil’s 2001 Chiefs turned in a 6-10 record — one game worse than Cunningham’s 2000 team. Oddly, many of the players who would play key roles in the team’s coming offensive explosion were on the roster that season —including quarterback Trent Green, running back Priest Holmes, tight end Tony Gonzalez, fullback Tony Richardson, kick returner Dante Hall and offensive linemen Will Shields, Brian Waters, Casey Wiegmann and John Tait.
The following season, former New Orleans Saints left tackle Willie Roaf joined the team — shifting Tait to the right side of the line — and former Rams wideout Eddie Kennison came on board. In his third NFL season, Hall became The Human Joystick, making the Pro Bowl after returning two punts and a kickoff for touchdowns. The team became the league’s top offense, scoring 29.2 points per game — but under defensive coordinator Greg Robinson, Kansas City ranked 28th in points allowed. Still, the Chiefs improved, finishing the season at 8-8.
Then, in 2003, Chiefs fans believed that Vermeil might be leading his third NFL team to a Super Bowl. Green made his first Pro Bowl, passing for over 4,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. Holmes had over 2,100 yards from scrimmage (and 27 touchdowns), notching his third consecutive All-Pro season. Gonzalez, Roaf, Shields (and Hall, who scored four return touchdowns) were also named All-Pros as the team averaged 30.3 points a game to once again lead the league. Even the defense showed improvement, ranking 19th in points allowed.
The team locked up a first-round bye with a 13-3 record. And then came the infamous No-Punt Game in the Divisional round against the Indianapolis Colts. By halftime, both teams had scored on every drive — except for the final Kansas City drive of the first half, which placekicker Morton Andersen ended with a missed 31-yard field goal. On the second play of the second half, Holmes pulled off a spectacular 48-yard run to the Colts’ 22-yard line — where David Macklin forced a fumble, ending the only other drive of the game that didn’t result in a score. After a Holmes touchdown narrowed the Colts’ lead to 37-31 with 4:25 remaining, the Kansas City defense could not get Peyton Manning’s offense off the field, ending the season with one of the franchise’s most disappointing playoff losses.
After that, it was all downhill. Over the next two seasons, the team continued to field one of the league’s best offenses. But the defense went backward — even though the team had brought Cunningham back to lead the unit after the devastating 2003 playoff loss. There were again bright spots on defense — Jared Allen was drafted in 2004, and Derrick Johnson was selected in 2005 — but it wasn’t enough to repair the damage Robinson had left behind. The team finished 7-9 in 2004 and 10-6 in 2005.
Vermeil announced his third (and final) retirement from coaching on December 31. The next day, the Chiefs walloped the Cincinnati Bengals 37-3 at Arrowhead.
The only coach in NFL history to be portrayed by both Greg Kinnear and Dennis Quaid in movies about his teams, Vermeil is often described as a very emotional man. That much is true. To our credit, it never resulted in a betting pool — but I do admit there were often jokes in the press box about questions that might get him to cry during that day’s post-game press conference.
But our amusement about that part of Vermeil’s character shouldn’t be misconstrued. While his grandfatherly style (he was 65 when he was named the Chiefs’ head coach) was in sharp contrast to the firey head coaches who had preceded him in Kansas City, he was an effective leader. Like Reid, he was a players’ coach — but also like his good friend, he was one who wanted his players to work hard.
Furthermore, he was (and remains) a friendly and engaging man. He gave straightforward, honest answers to press questions. If you caught him away from the podium, he was always happy to speak off the record to help inform your reporting — or just jaw about football.
In his final press conference as head coach, he tearfully said that he was still a Chief — and would always be a Chief. I remember thinking, “Yeah... right.” But he wasn’t kidding. Only weeks later, he sat among reporters during Herm Edwards’ introductory press conference. (As it happened, he took the seat right next to me. To this day, it remains one of the otherworldly experiences of my career covering the Chiefs. How often does someone get to sit next to the old head coach while the new one is speaking for the first time?)
In the years that followed, Vermeil was often in Arrowhead on game days. He’s continued to be an informal advisor to the team — and in fact, was among those who advised team owner Clark Hunt to hire Reid as the team’s next head coach in 2013.
“He wanted to know my opinions on the coaches available,” Vermeil said, via the Kansas City Star. “My opinion was that there are only three you should think about and they were Andy Reid, Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher. I told him there was no way he could take another chance. But Andy is the one I know the best personally.
“So he contacted Andy Reid and Andy called me. I knew he was going to call. He said, ‘What do you know about Kansas City?’ I said, ‘Go.’ It’s a great place with great people. The Hunt family was outstanding to me. I just felt he would fit in the community and he’s an outstanding football coach. He needed a change, I felt. There were just so many problems he had with the Eagles the last few years, things that backfired, things that went wrong. There was just no way he could breathe without it being evaluated, positively or negatively.”
So while Vermeil was (unfortunately) unable to bring another Lombardi Trophy to Kansas City, he played a role in selecting the man who finally did.
For that — and so much more — we salute Hall of Fame coach Dick Vermeil. | https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/8/5/23290625/remembering-when-dick-vermeil-was-the-chiefs-head-coach | 2022-08-05T17:57:46Z | https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/8/5/23290625/remembering-when-dick-vermeil-was-the-chiefs-head-coach | false | 1 |
SANTA CLARA — Linebacker Fred Warner’s hit heard ’round the 49ers’ world did more than spark a training camp brawl.
It gave wide receiver Marcus Johnson a concussion, and it also stirred debate on how physical the 49ers are.
Coach Kyle Shanahan, speaking Friday for the first time since Tuesday’s hit-triggered brawl, did not condone Warner’s actions nor much of the aftermath, aside from Brandon Aiyuk rushing to combat Warner for leveling Johnson.
“I love the intensity of it. I don’t think you have to fight to be intense, though,” Shanahan said. “Scuffles are scuffles, but then they lead to other stuff.
“We have a guy in (concussion) protocol because we took an unnecessary shot on someone, which led to the big fight, and then we had a bunch of haymakers thrown in there, which only break hands.”
To clarify, no one is known to have sustained a broken hand. However, Johnson is “recovering slowly,” thus hindering his roster chances as a sixth-year veteran who signed in free agency.
Immediately after Warner’s hit, he was confronted by Aiyuk, and a melee ensued. Shanahan paused practice to admonish his team, and no further fights have taken place over the 2 1/2 practices since then.
“Our team is pretty tough, we’re pretty physical. If people voted who was the most physical team on tape last year, we’d probably win that,” Shanahan added. “We didn’t get in one fight last year. That doesn’t totally pertain to toughness.”
As for Aiyuk’s actions, Shanahan added: “I understood what he stood up to. It didn’t bother me.”
GAROPPOLO ‘GETTING READY’
Jimmy Garoppolo’s exclusion from practice came out of a mutual decision between him and the 49ers, rather than any banishment while he rehabilitates his throwing shoulder and awaits a potential trade or release. He’s been in camp since it opened last week and has done individual conditioning work on side fields.
“You have to report with the rules of today’s NFL, so we made it the best for both,” Shanahan said. “If Jimmy wanted to be in every single meeting and wanted to do everything, for sure we’d let him. I would guess that isn’t what he would want, totally. When we asked if that was accurate, he didn’t totally want that.
“He’s getting his body ready for hopefully the next situation he goes into.”
On Wednesday, Garoppolo worked on the main training fields for his throwing session while the offense conducted its routine walk-through practice at the other end of the field, creating an awkward scene.
“We have a real good relationship with Jimmy. There’s no secret to the situation. We make the best of it,” Shanahan added. “Jimmy is out there, feeling better and better each day. We have a real good relationship with Jimmy, he’s done really good things here. Fans are still pumped and our players still love seeing him. That doesn’t surprise me at all.”
QUARTERBACK AUDITION
Shanahan was unaware before practice that the 49ers personnel department was working out quarterback James Morgan, a former Jets draft pick, as reported by Pro Football Network.
The 49ers have used only three quarterbacks in practice — Trey Lance, Nate Sudfeld and rookie Brock Purdy — and there has not been any indication that Lance or anyone is suffering from arm fatigue, a concerning storyline that emerged last month.
NOTES
— Wide receiver Taysir Mack was waived, two days after bobbling a Brock Purdy pass that Deommodore Lenoir intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
— Offensive tackle Jaylon Moore is battling a lower-leg strain and will miss some time, Shanahan said.
— Although Spencer Burford has “done a great job” at right guard on the starting unit, Shanahan alluded that incumbent starter Daniel Brunskill does not need to further audition for that role and that his reps are best served competing at center with Jake Brendel. Shanahan praised Brunskill’s versatility and noted “he needs to get to the season healthy.” Brunskill missed offseason practices with knee tendinitis.
— In praising Jimmie Ward, Shanahan noted that he could have been the 49ers’ best cornerback upon this regime’s arrival in 2017 and that he’s since been their best safety. “Jimmie’s made us look good because he’s stayed healthy,” Shanahan said.

Penn State two-time national wrestling champion Roman Bravo-Young has a simple philosophy about endorsements and the Name, Image and Likeness rules that now allow him to pursue deals and put a little extra money in his pocket.
He is one of the biggest names in college wrestling and has a flair that is uniquely his own, so he does have the option to be more choosy than most college athletes. Even so, Bravo-Young said he isn’t willing to simply attach his name to a product and be a talking head for it.
He said he has to find a more meaningful connection to the company, the brand or the product itself before he’ll ever be ready to put his name behind it.
“I kind of just don’t want to be an advertisement on social media,” he said. “I’m a wrestler. I didn’t want to be posting brands and all this stuff, so I usually just go with what I like.”
That philosophy led him to his most recent deal with Snap Custom Pizza and Salads, with a little assist from Success With Honor, the NIL collective at Penn State. Bravo-Young said he liked Snap’s unique plan to use him, which includes wrestling camps and his inspiration for custom pizzas, but most of all he just already loved what Snap does.
Snap has a location in downtown State College, and Bravo-Young says he wears out his meal allotment card with frequent visits there.
“I’m big on values,” he said. “We share the same values, excellence on and off the mat and being good to people, but, you know, I eat there quite a bit. So, it’s just a good fit. I met the people, I like them. And the things they have lined up for me to do are pretty cool.”
Bravo-Young has also attached his name and likeness to gear from Montirez and energy drinks from Kill Cliff. He has his own wrestling shoe and pops up on podcasts and on other platforms such as Barstool Sports that have huge followings of sports fans.
Bravo-Young is well-positioned to take advantage of the NIL space now and to keep building his brand after his final competitive season at Penn State. RBY is running it back one more time at 133 pounds after winning back-to-back national championships, and he says NIL money absolutely played a role in that decision. Were it not for the new-found freedom, the pursuit of a third NCAA title might not have happened.
“I came back for the NIL, for sure,” Bravo-Young said. “Get a little bit of money now, so why not? I’m still wrestling every day, so why not get paid for it? I don’t really have much to prove, but if I’m getting paid, why not? One more year of chilling, you know, the college life.”
Make no mistake, though, Bravo-Young has the luxury of finding motivation in that money because his training and focus on wrestling are relentless. He also said he fully understands how quickly the NIL well can dry up if that focus lapses and his wrestling game falls off.
So, he’ll embark on that final journey with a well-established ability to compartmentalize his other initiatives. His wrestling and NIL worlds are separate because he knows they need to be if he wants to keep succeeding in both.
“I’m not afraid to put myself out there, and and I have worked on it over the years,” Bravo-Young said. “I have my brand and I know my name holds some weight, and I just want to keep it going. But at the end of the day, just got to keep working hard and winning, because people are going to like you when you’re winning. If you’re not winning, no one cares. If you’re losing, it’s next man up.”
When it comes to the future, Bravo-Young has already signed an NIL marketing deal with mixed martial arts manager Dave Martin, which was reported by MMA reporter Ariel Helwani as Bravo-Young being “en route to MMA soon.” He already trains MMA in the offseason, so the connections are clearly there for a smooth transition.
The one hold-up? As much as he loves MMA and is very likely to perform there at a very high level, Bravo-Young also said he isn’t in a hurry to give up wrestling. On the contrary, he said he plans on following that path as far as he can go before flipping to MMA.
“That’s a no-brainer,” Bravo-Young said. “If anything, [wrestling] is the first thing. No one’s ever in a rush to go to MMA. I’m not in a rush for that.”
While wrestling has made all of these extra pursuits possible, Bravo-Young doesn’t view it as a stepping stone by means. Even now, with a whole wide world of possibilities ahead of him, he’ll always view himself as a wrestler above all else.
“I have two national titles,” he said. “I like to say when people ask that I’m living my dream every single day. I wake up and I train for a living. You can’t complain, you know?” | https://www.pennlive.com/penn-state-wrestling/2022/08/penn-state-wrestler-roman-bravo-young-talks-nil-pizza-and-why-hes-in-no-rush-to-jump-to-mma.html | 2022-08-05T18:00:05Z | https://www.pennlive.com/penn-state-wrestling/2022/08/penn-state-wrestler-roman-bravo-young-talks-nil-pizza-and-why-hes-in-no-rush-to-jump-to-mma.html | true | 1 |
EXTINCTION Rebellion campaigners have marched through York to the city council's HQ to give their response to the authority's 'vague' Climate Change Strategy.
Member Debby said that having declared a climate emergency in 2019, the council needed to act boldly and get all residents and organisations on board, as well as all council departments.
"This is, as the climate document says, a matter of lives, living and livelihoods,” she said.
Another member, Judith, said she was particularly incensed by a council goal of a 3 per cent reduction in car road transport use.
"Does that mean for every 100 car journeys today, we are aiming for 97 in 2030?” she asked.
“A 25 per cent increase in bus use is paltry. Surely we should be gradually stopping private car use altogether.
"Goals should be at least 50 per cent reduction in road transport use and 100 per cent increase in public transport."

GALLUP, N.M. (KRQE) – At least 15 people, including two police officers, were injured after a 33-year-old drove through a crowd in Gallup, New Mexico, where hundreds of people had gathered on Thursday night to celebrate the Intertribal Ceremonial Parade.
Jeff Kenn Irving, of Gallup, is facing 21 charges in the case, including aggravated DWI, multiple counts of leaving the scene of a crash, driving with a revoked license and more, according to New Mexico State Police. According to a criminal complaint, Irving registered a 0.24 on an alcohol breath test, or three times the state’s legal limit of 0.08.
Multiple witnesses said a tan SUV drove through the parade — right towards performers and children on the parade route — at about 8 p.m. Video of the incident shared to social media shows people screaming and fleeing the path of the SUV, leaving chairs and belongings behind during the chaotic scene.
According to court documents, Irving told police he was behind the wheel of a 1999 Chevy Tahoe, watching the parade, when he “left” the event, traveling east with his two brothers inside the vehicle.
Police said Irving initially claimed he did not have any alcoholic drinks prior to the crash. He later admitted to police he had been drinking, stating he had “two cans about two to three hours” prior to the crash. He then told police he drank “a couple beers” three and a half hours prior to the crash.
A criminal complaint indicates a New Mexico State Police officer gave Irving several field sobriety tests after the crash. Police said Irving had trouble balancing and staying in position Irving also told them he has a prosthetic left eye, according to the complaint.
Inside of the car Irving was driving, investigators said they found more than one “open container,” but didn’t state what was in the container. Police also found Irving has one prior DWI conviction.
After the sobriety tests, Irving was placed under arrest and subjected to a breathalyzer test. Officers then took him to the hospital, where his blood was drawn and he was cleared of injuries. He has since been booked in the McKinley County jail.
Spectators at the event said the Intertribal celebration is special to the community, and meant to be a celebration of peace.
Jonathan Nez, the president of the Navajo nation, was in attendance. He said that he and members of his party could have been hit had they not reacted quickly.
“We were in the path of the vehicle. Thank God, the folks that were around me, our team members or council delegates. Were not struck by the vehicle,” said Nez in statement shortly after the incident.
The Gallup Police Department said two of its police officers were among the 15 injured in the crash. Minimal information has been released about the severity of the injuries, but the New Mexico State Police said at least one person suffered what they consider “great bodily harm” while 14 others suffered “personal injuries not resulting in great bodily harm.” | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/suv-speeds-through-new-mexico-parade-at-least-15-injuries-confirmed/ | 2022-08-05T18:06:33Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/suv-speeds-through-new-mexico-parade-at-least-15-injuries-confirmed/ | false | 11 |
GALLUP, N.M. (AP) — Police arrested several people who were in a large SUV that drove through a Native American celebration in New Mexico, causing multiple injuries along a parade route crowded with families. Two Gallup police officers were among those hurt.
Videos taken by people who had come to see the parade show the large brown vehicle speeding down a main street in the small city, against the direction of the parade. Children performing traditional dances appear to have been among the first to see it rushing toward them. They can be seen running to the side as people scream and families scramble to get out of the way.
The vehicle then swerved onto a side street and pulled into a parking spot before trying to pull out again, hitting a police car. Officers then converge on the vehicle, pulling at least two people out and handcuffing them on the pavement.
State Police Lt. Mark Soriano said no one was killed and he couldn’t elaborate on the extent of the injuries, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
New Mexico State Police said on Twitter that the driver was in custody.
“Multiple people, including two Gallup PD officers, injured and are being treated on scene,” the tweet said.
The parade was a highlight of the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial Centennial Celebration, founded in 1922 to honor Native American and Indigenous heritage. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/ap-us-news/suv-drives-into-native-american-parade-causing-injuries/ | 2022-08-05T18:07:02Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/ap-us-news/suv-drives-into-native-american-parade-causing-injuries/ | true | 21 |
SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — A new rollercoaster is coming to Dollywood!
Dolly Parton alongside Dollywood President Eugene Naughton announced Big Bear Mountain at the theme park Friday morning.
Big Bear Moutain is the largest single attraction investment in the history of Dollywood and is an expansion of Wildwood Grove.
"[Wildwood Grove] is the most successful addition to date," Naughton said. "Big Bear Mountain is the single largest attraction that Dolly has made us dream of. I am sure it's going to be a perfect way to extend our storytelling at Wildwood Grove."
Big Bear Mountain will be the largest and longest coaster at Dollywood. The coaster will take guests of nearly all ages on a family-friendly expedition in search of "Big Bear," and the 39-inch height requirement for the coaster will allow younger riders to enjoy some thrills.
The coaster circles Wildwood Grove for nearly two minutes on almost 4,000 feet of track while reaching speeds of up to 48 mph. It will take riders through three launches, multiple airtime hills, high-speed turns, and tunnels -- including a pass behind a waterfall.
The ride will also be a first-of-a-kind at Dollywood, as it is the only coaster to have onboard audio to provide "auditory thrills" to match the ride's movements.
“Big Bear Mountain is an exciting ride that really is going to be a game changer for us,” said Naughton. “Not only is it the largest coaster we’ve built, but it includes features—like on-board audio—that are new for our company. Big Bear Mountain also expands the footprint of Wildwood Grove and serves as another monumental step in the ongoing investment plan Dolly and I announced in June 2021. She’s keeping me busy. Now that we’ve announced Big Bear Mountain, I’ll start working on the next projects she has lined up for me!”

An extremely rare Lalique vase is among the items from a distinguished Belfast family which are set to go under the hammer.
It is part of the contents of the historic Shakespear House in Adelaide Park in the south of the city which is also set to be sold at a later date.
The house was first designed in 1891 for J F Warden, proprietor of the Grand Opera House in the city, and was later bought by John Haslett, who was a surgeon in the Royal Army Medical Corp in 1912.
Bloomfield Auctions’ managing director Karl Bennett said he believes the Lalique vase is of the like never seen before in Ireland.
He described the full range of lots as intriguing, including family portraits, dresses dating to the 1700s and a collar and trophy from a champion greyhound.
“This house and the Haslett family, who have owned it for the past 110 years, are truly intriguing,” he said.
“The entire contents of the house are up for sale on Tuesday and will feature a number of items dating back to the 1600s including family portraits, a Masonic vase from the late 1800s, a stunning bedroom suite, dresses dating back to the 1700s and an Italian inlaid marble table that was brought back from the Grand Tour of Italy in the 1860s.
“(There is) even a silver collar and trophy that belonged to the family’s greyhound, which won a race back in 1851 at the Ballymena Coursing Club.
“Without a doubt though, the star of this sale is the Lalique vase. A very beautiful piece, this vase is extremely rare, and we don’t believe that anything like this has ever been seen in Ireland before.
“We also have a silver arts and crafts style bowl which is very eye-catching. I would estimate the vase to make between £4,000 and £6,000 and the bowl to go for £3,000 to £4,000.”
The Haslett family held a number of influential roles, including the Rev Henry Haslett, who became the Minister of the Presbyterian Church in Castlereagh, was best friends with Samuel Cooke, the founder of May Street Church and whose statue stands outside Belfast Academical Institute.
Mr Bennett said: “It is believed that the Rev Henry penned his sermons on a settee in Shakespear House – which also features in Tuesday’s sale.”
Brothers John Wilson Haslett and Sir James Horner Haslett founded a wholesale grocery business named J & J Haslett which was later sold to the Mace group of businesses in the 1990s.
Sir James Haslett went on to become an MP for Belfast West in the UK Parliament from 1885 to 1886 and then became Mayor of Belfast in 1887, the same year he was knighted. Sir James’ statute currently stands outside Belfast City Hall.
Mr Bennett added: “It’s not unreasonable to suggest that the Haslett family have helped to mould the lives we live today.
“They were very interesting and the entire contents of their house hold some incredible history as well as some beautiful pieces.
“This sale is perfect for someone who enjoys collecting antiques or even someone who has an interest in local history.”
The entire contents of the house will be sold on Tuesday at Bloomfield Auctions in East Belfast, with bidding taking place in person and online.

(NewsNation) — In June, Ramiro Gonzales, a death row inmate in Texas, asked the state for a 30-day reprieve so he could donate a kidney.
Gonzales is convicted of kidnapping, raping and murdering a young woman in 2001. However, Gonzales has a rare blood type, making a potential donation especially valuable.
At first, Texas said no. But weeks later — just two days before Gonzales was set to be executed — the state’s court of appeals granted a stay on an unrelated issue from his trial.
Now, the debate over kidney donation is heating up once again.
Judy Frith, a potential recipient of the kidney, told NewsNation’s “Banfield” on Thursday that the wait for a kidney with her and the inmate’s blood type is up to six years. The wait for other kidney types is three to four years.
“It’s very rare to find somebody that wants to do a live donation in the first place. It’s very brave. I think it would be a shame if Mr. Gonzales wants to do that, and he’s not allowed to,” Frith said.
Frith added that if she can get the new kidney, she’ll finally be able to take her grandkids camping and swimming.
According to the National Kidney Foundation, 13 people die every day while waiting for lifesaving kidney transplants, but some say the ethics of prisoner organ donation is tricky.
Robert Dunham, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, noted on “Banfield” that “Mr. Gonzales meets all the qualifications for a donor under Texas policy. So it’s more a question of the state’s intransigence than it is of any real practical problems.”
Meanwhile, some people believe that allowing death row inmates to donate their kidneys is exploiting the prisoners. Michael Zoosman, the founder of “L’Chaim! Jews Against the Death Penalty,” who has been working with Gonzales, said that isn’t the case here.
“Abolish the death penalty, and you’ll find that these people are sincere and still want to do it. Ramiro now still wants to donate his kidney, even though he has no execution date hanging over his head. I do not believe that this is exploitative. I believe it comes from the heart with a sincere desire to make right with his God,” Zoosman said on “Banfield.” | https://www.wlns.com/dont-miss/woman-in-need-of-kidney-death-row-inmate-could-save-my-life/ | 2022-08-05T18:22:56Z | https://www.wlns.com/dont-miss/woman-in-need-of-kidney-death-row-inmate-could-save-my-life/ | true | 17 |

2024 4-star safety receives ‘dream’ offer from Florida
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Florida GatorsLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
A highly regarded in-state 2024 prospect finally got the offer he wanted since he was a child.
Jarvis Boatwright Jr. told On3’s Corey Bender that his recent Florida offer was his childhood dream. The 6-foot-2-inch, 175-pound safety out of Clearwater, Florida, received his offer while on an unofficial visit to Gainesville at the end of July. When talking to Bender about why UF meant so much to him, Boatwright mentioned how Florida felt like a family. Seeing high-level players come out of Gainesville — so close to home as well — played a big factor in why the Gators’ offer meant so much to him.
Blessed to receive a(n) offer from my DREAM SCHOOL University Of Florida! @CHS_Tornadoes @GatorsFB #GoGators pic.twitter.com/9iLLqqdDP5
— Jarvis “BOATWRIGHT” Jr (@J_BoatwrightJr) July 27, 2022
Boatwright didn’t work out for Florida’s coaching staff, but rather spent his time getting to know the personnel. He even got one-on-one time with Gators co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach Patrick Toney, someone Boatwright will spend a lot of time with if he suits up for the Orange and Blue.
In addition to Florida, Boatwright has taken visits to UCF, FSU and South Carolina. The list of programs that will be fighting for his services is long, including top programs such as Georgia, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and many more.
Boatwright expects to be back on Florida’s campus — the school he says is at the top of his recruitment — for some games this fall. Along with his football reasons, Boatwright says that the university’s physical therapy program is another reason why the Gators are at the top of his shortlist, a program that UF claims has a 100% success rate in landing a job after graduation.
Boatwright is considered the No. 21 Safety in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus.

‘What’s my future?’: millennials and Gen-Z grapple with cost of living crisis
Like many people across the UK, Luke Downham, 26, has found himself living pay day to pay day as the cost of living crisis intensifies.
During the pandemic, he was able to save money and pay off student debt. Relocating to Manchester in 2021, he started a new job as a biomedical scientist for the NHS with the belief that life was improving.
But as inflation hits a 40-year high , Downham’s rent is due to increase by 10% this month. He has since taken out a consolidation loan to pay off rising debts. He said it was difficult to live every month waiting to get paid.
“It’s pretty depressing because I’m just kind of starting my life. I feel a bit taken aback,” said Downham. “I feel like my friends and family are all in a similar situation. This world is not sustainable.”
The trend of Britons in precarious positions has worsened in recent months as the increased cost of living puts a strain on living standards , with the lowest-paid and most vulnerable suffering most.
The Gen Z and millennial generations, confronting inflation for the first time, are also vulnerable to the slump. Nearly half spend their entire monthly income on living costs , according to a recent survey by Deloitte, while two in five have taken on additional work to make ends meet.
A recent report by a leading anti-poverty charity found that young people on low incomes – those in the bottom 40% of household incomes – are disproportionately affected. According to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), more than 70% of low-income households with an 18- to 24-year-old were in arrears with at least one household bill, and more than 80% of with an 18- to 34-year-old are going without essentials.
“We may see more young adults having to move home, particularly if you’re falling into things like rent arrears or unable to pay energy bills and so on, which we’re seeing a lot of at the moment – particularly young households not being able to afford the electricity and gas bills,” said Rachelle Earwaker, a senior economist at JRF.
Some individuals the Guardian spoke to said they had dipped into savings to make ends meet, or have changed habits such as walking to work instead of driving to save on rising petrol prices. As rents and energy bills increase, many said they could no longer afford to rent on their own, or save for housing deposits, and have moved in with family or roommates.
The impact can be detrimental to young people’s credit rating and ability to build new skills, education, careers and financial security, said Earwaker. But for Gen Z and millennials, for whom the cost of living has become the leading concern ahead of climate change , the two need to work in tandem, she said.
“The cost of living crisis is exacerbated because we haven’t been focusing on the climate crisis as well,” added Earwaker. Individuals the Guardian spoke to said while they are concerned by climate change, the cost of living is more immediately felt.
We have what we consider good salaries. We’re scraping by.
Meredith, 31
For Josh Ryan-Collins, head of finance and macroeconomics at UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, a solution to low income, inflation and the environmental crisis, is to de-carbonise the economy.
“This would be a kind of win, win, win. It would create decent, well-paid jobs, it would help us meet our net zero carbon targets, it would relieve unemployment and low wages in the regions of the country which are suffering most, and it would eventually help us deal with inflation,” said Ryan-Collins.
In a report published this month, the business, energy and industrial strategy committee of MPs said the government support offered for rising energy prices is “no longer sufficient” and that the UK “needs to reduce its dependence on imported gas” to lower energy bills.
When Meredith, 31, left her corporate job as a product manager, she didn’t predict that leaving her “unfulfilling” role would result in her searching for the same position months later as a recession looms.
“I own a home with my boyfriend and our energy bill recently went up to £177 a month. It’s just the two of us but we have what we consider good salaries. We’re scraping by,” she said.
Having once expected not to worry about making it through each month by her early 30s, Meredith can no longer put aside money and regularly taps into savings to cover monthly bills.
“Holidays aren’t really an option, and I wouldn’t even think of having children now,” said Meredith, who relocated to the UK from South Africa in 2014 in search of more opportunities.

The new Premier League season kicks off today with Everton in action in Saturday evening’s highlight game as they host Chelsea at Goodison Park, the scene of one of the most emotional outpourings we have seen in a long, long time near the end of the last season.
The pitch invasion when Everton scored to take a 3-2 lead against Crystal Palace with just minutes to play and to secure their Premier League future, followed by the subsequent mass flooding of the pitch by fans at the final whistle is no longer going to be allowed, and you can expect both clubs and supporters to be hit hard in the future.
Here’s a quick list of all seven rule changes that have been made by the Premier League, including notes on how they will affect the Blues.
Five Substitutions
This was brought in during the COVID-struck closed-doors season as players needed more recovery time due to the packed schedule. The bigger clubs with larger squads have finally had their way as now they can fully weaponize their spending power. The message to clubs like Everton is, grow your own squads with quality backups or else perish.
The size of the bench will also grow as a result of this move, with twenty players in all now in matchday squads, nine aside from the starting eleven. However, those five subs will still need to be made at the same three intervals of play to restrict disruption to the game and limit time-wasting.
Balls, Balls Everywhere
The balls for the Premier League season are provided by Nike — the “Flight” is designed with the same colour scheme as the first Premier League ball 30 years ago.
In another move to combat time-wasting and game disruption, the fourth official will have a match ball with him at all times, with a further eight balls placed all around the pitch including two behind each goal.
Clearly someone was irritated by what this heroic Everton fan did against Chelsea last season in the crucial 1-0 win.
Where's the ball gone?! ♂️

Bans, Suspensions and Worse Incoming
The Premier League wants to ensure that any fireworks at games are made and stay on the pitch. This means they are mandating the clubs to take action on fans bringing in pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, etc by banning them from games.
It’s not just that though. For the safety of the players, staff and other fans too, strong punishments will be levied on any fans that step on the pitch as it’s considered a criminal offence. It’s not clear whether match stewards are going to get additional help in these situations from law enforcement, but the message is clear - do not step on the pitch, do not send your kids on the pitch, just don’t do it.
Everton have asked their supporters to follow along the new rules, and a number of supporters associations have cosigned that as well.
Winter World Cup
The season is getting underway a week earlier than usual to accommodate for the winter break since World Cup 2022 has been moved to later in the year. The season will go into a pause on November 12th, and only resume again on Boxing Day.
Everton will not have too many players heading to Qatar, but the remainder of the side will head off on a winter break tour to Australia where they will play two games during the summer down under. The Blues will be a part of the Sydney Super Cup, taking on Celtic on Sunday 20th November and then Western Sydney Wanderers on Wednesday 23rd November, with the global tourney kicking off on the 21st.
As a result of this, there will be only one international break this autumn instead of the usual three, coming in mid-September. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin scheduled to be out for about six weeks, it’s likely we’ll only see him on the pitch again after that break.
Goalie Rules for Penalties
Previous regulations stipulated that goalkeepers needed to have at least one foot on the goal line before a spotkick is taken, which seemed to affect a lot of shotstoppers who like to throw themselves around. The new rule will allow them to step into their goal to build up momentum to make a save, as long as they don’t step forward past the line before contact is made by the kicker with the ball.
It’s a Toss-up
Strange rule that no one really cared about and somehow needed to be reiterated. The rule states that the referee has toss the coin before a match. Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone but a referee do the toss, so this one is weird.
It’s The Under-21s Now
In case you’ve been reading our youth team coverage and wondering why we’ve been calling the team the Under-21s and not the Under-23s, this is why. From this season on the competition will officially be for under-21s, although five outfield over-age players can feature instead of three to enable those coming back from injury to gain some sharpness as they return. For example, Seamus Coleman will be featuring for the Under-21s against Blackburn today as he attempts to get back to match fitness. | https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2022/8/5/23293764/2022-23-season-premier-league-rule-changes-everton-preview-five-subs-pitch-invasion-suspensions-fine | 2022-08-05T18:34:17Z | https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2022/8/5/23293764/2022-23-season-premier-league-rule-changes-everton-preview-five-subs-pitch-invasion-suspensions-fine | false | 1 |
Bill Hall, the acerbic and very funny one-time editorial page editor of this newspaper, once got his dander up about the fact that southern Idaho’s most famous crop — the russet Burbank potato — had come to define the state’s image. For decades Idaho’s license plates have proclaimed the state home to “famous potatoes.”
The rest of the state — the mighty rivers, the massive lakes, the Swiss-like snowcapped peaks and waving wheat fields — were ignored, while the state’s image became a baked spud smeared with butter. Why not, Hall argued, “famous peas and lentils,” a solid cash crop prevalent north of the Salmon River?
Needless to say, that never caught on. Still, it is time for a refresh of the state’s steadily eroding image. A new proposal: “Idaho: Famous Litigation.”
Idaho is back in the national news cycle with the U.S. Justice Department suing the state — an utterly predictable development — over one of the most misguided pieces of anti-abortion legislation in the country. Idaho finds itself, three decades after then-Gov. Cecil Andrus prevented the famous potato state from becoming embroiled in high-profile, costly and likely futile litigation over abortion, smack in the middle of a needless, thoughtless fight.
Andrus vetoed a misguided piece of abortion legislation in 1990 that had as its sole purpose an effort to influence the national debate over Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision overturned earlier this year by six Christian nationalists on the current court. Now, the state’s ultra-conservative leadership has teed up just the kind of fight that Andrus avoided. You’d think a state fighting an image as a haven for white supremacists, anti-Semites and education-hating radicals might have sought to avoid becoming known for imposing a government mandate denying health care to pregnant women.
But this is Idaho, where no crazy idea goes unrealized.
The potato state has become a poster child for performative, shoddy, punishing lawmaking that ignores real-world realities and ends up costing millions to defend, most often unsuccessfully. You can tell how thin the state’s defenses are when it comes to its abortion law by reading the ridiculous statement issued by Gov. Brad Little who termed the Justice Department’s action “federal meddling.”
There was no attempt by state officials to counter the federal government contention that Idaho’s law conflicts with federal law and creates the very real prospect that a pregnant woman would be denied an abortion even if her life were in danger. This really happens in a variety of circumstances, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, including when the woman is suffering infection or severe bleeding.
The Idaho law also seeks to criminalize medical professionals, putting them in a legal vice between an oath requiring them to provide necessary care for a patient and the state’s mandate to prevent such care.
“The law places medical professionals in an impossible situation,” associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said of the Idaho lawsuit. “They must either withhold stabilizing treatment ... or risk felony prosecution and license revocation. The law will chill providers’ willingness to perform abortions in emergency situations and will hurt patients by blocking access to medically necessary health care.”
The radical ideologues in Idaho’s right-wing party ignored these real-life consequences when they passed, and Little signed, the law they must now try to defend.
The governor must have flinched on Tuesday night as the election results rolled in from ruby red Kansas. Voters there overwhelmingly rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would almost certainly have led to abortion restrictions like those in Idaho. Democratic turnout surged in Kansas, Republican voters said enough and the measure failed in every congressional district, even the two most super-conservative districts. This is the Kansas Donald Trump carried by nearly 15% in 2020.
As Bill Scher noted in Washington Monthly, radical Republicans in Kansas — just like their fellow travelers in Idaho — have made “two big miscalculations.” They assumed all Republicans want to ban abortions and they underestimate the willingness of Democrats and independents to show up and defend a right that many, many Americans thought was secure but is now severely threatened in many states.
Many elected Republicans do not yet realize — or refuse to consider — that there is no constituency for forcing a woman facing death or severe injury to carry a pregnancy to term. Likewise, they don’t appreciate how odious most Americans feel about criminalizing medical practices. The party known for opposing “mandates” is now the party favoring mandates requiring death and prison for women and medical professionals who don’t have the luxury of viewing the world in stark absolutes.
This type of reckless, blind ideology, however, has become the defining characteristic of the modern Republican Party. Every fevered notion ever harbored by the John Birchers, the Q-Anon conspiracists, the Trumpy election deniers and, yes, the “let’s outlaw abortion” crowd, is now in the party platform. The elected elites of the Grand Old Party find themselves marginalized by a lunatic minority that has taken to manipulating the party’s rules and dominating the party’s primaries.
The spud state is leading the way.
The Republican Party “elites” have responded to this crisis of legitimacy by cowering in fear of their own supporters. As the conservative writer Jonathan V. Last noted a while back, “If the institutions within the Republican Party were strong, they would exert their will ... (and) shape popular opinion. Instead, these institutions dare only to assert their will under the cover of darkness, out of sight from their voters.”
That, Last says, is “the definition of weakness.”
Gov. Little, given his weakness and fear of the most pyretic elements — even the clear minority elements — of his own party, can’t buck them, can’t reason with them and certainly can’t lead them any more than a Kevin McCarthy can embrace a real investigation into the crimes of Jan. 6. The fever swamp won’t let them be responsible and they lack the guts to try to be.
Therefore, every defense becomes a hackneyed laugh line. In the Idaho governor’s case, a pathetic attempt to label entirely legitimate concerns about critical health care for pregnant women and prison for doctors as “federal meddling” or, in McCarthy’s case, drumming a truth seeker such as Liz Cheney from the party.
“A party that is afraid of its voters is not sustainable,” Last writes. “Either the voters will leave or the party institutions will transform to their liking.” This is a party that is not sustainable.
Two outcomes seem possible for the one-time party of Lincoln. The GOP will continue to collapse, perhaps bringing the Republic down with it. Or the majority of Americans who reject the utter nonsense that has come to define the Republican Party, like voters this week in Kansas, will finally move on to the bright sunlit uplands of political sanity.
Meanwhile, see ya in court, Idaho.

Lawyer: Arbery shooter fears he'll be killed in state prison
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The white man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery after chasing the running Black man in a Georgia neighborhood says he fears he will be killed by fellow inmates if he's sent to a state prison to serve a life sentence for murder.
Travis McMichael, 36, faces sentencing Monday in U.S. District Court after his conviction on federal hate crime charges in February. His defense attorney filed a legal motion Thursday asking the judge to keep McMichael in federal custody.
Attorney Amy Lee Copeland argued McMichael has received "hundreds of threats" and won't be safe in a Georgia state prison system that is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department amid concerns about violence between inmates.
On Feb. 23, 2020, McMichael and his father, Greg McMichael, armed themselves with guns and jumped in a pickup truck to chase Arbery after he ran past their home just outside the port city of Brunswick. A neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan, joined the chase in his own truck and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael blasting Arbery with a shotgun.
The killing of Arbery became part of a larger national reckoning over racial injustice amid other high-profile killings of unarmed Black people including George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky.
In Georgia, the McMichaels and Bryan were sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of Arbery's murder in a state court last fall. They have remained in a county jail in custody of U.S. marshals since standing trial in February in federal court, where a jury convicted them of hate crimes. Each defendant now faces a potential second life sentence.

(Pool, File)
Once the men are sentenced Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood, protocol would be to turn them over the Georgia Department of Corrections to serve their prison terms for murder. That's because they were first arrested and tried by state authorities.
For Travis McMichael, "his concern is that he will promptly be killed upon delivery to the state prison system for service of that sentence," Copeland wrote in her sentencing request. "He has received numerous threats of death that are credible in light of all circumstances."
Copeland said she has alerted Georgia's corrections agency, "which has replied that these threats are unverified and that it can securely house McMichael in state custody."
Greg McMichael, 66, has also asked the judge to put him in federal rather than state prison, citing safety concerns and health problems.
Arbery's family family has insisted the McMichaels and Bryan should serve their sentences in a state prison, arguing a federal penitentiary wouldn´t be as tough. His parents objected forcefully before the federal trial when both McMichaels sought a plea deal that would have included a request to transfer them to federal prison. The judge ended up rejecting the plea agreement.
"Granting these men their preferred choice of confinement would defeat me," Arbery´s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, told the judge at a hearing Jan. 31. "It gives them one last chance to spit in my face."
A federal judge doesn't have the authority to order a state to relinquish its lawful custody of inmates to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said Ed Tarver, an Augusta lawyer and former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia.
"She can certainly make that request," Tarver said of the judge, "and it would be up to the state Department of Corrections whether or not they agree to do that."
Copeland's court filing refers to a prior agreement between the judge, prosecutors and defense attorneys to keep the McMichaels and Bryan in federal custody "through the completion of the federal trial and any post-trial proceedings." She argued that means Travis McMichael should at least remain in federal custody through appeals of his hate crime conviction.

Which Under Armour men’s shorts are best?
No matter what activity or adventure you have planned, Under Armour men’s shorts were designed to keep you cool, dry and comfortable. Some styles resist stains, block the sun and repel water with lightweight and breathable fabrics.
If you are looking for a pair of well-ventilated and moisture-wicking shorts with built-in briefs for coverage and comfort, the Under Armour Men’s Speedpocket 7-Inch Shorts are the best.
What to know before you buy Under Armour men’s shorts
Types of Under Armour men’s shorts
Under Armour men’s shorts are durable enough to withstand your most rigorous activities and comfortable enough to double as your favorite loungewear. They’re made for several sports.
- Basketball shorts: This design has ventilating mesh and sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry.
- Running shorts: These are typically constructed with ultra-lightweight, stretch-woven fabrics with added ventilation at the sides to keep you cool.
- Golfing shorts: This style looks similar to traditional khakis, but they are breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking and have added stretch for comfort.
- Training shorts: These are made with lightweight stretch-woven fabric that pulls sweat from your body to keep you comfortable and dry so you can squat, lunge and move with ease.
- Fishing shorts: These shorts look like a standard cargo design but block the sun, water and stains. They are also a flexible and breathable design made for comfort.
Men’s shorts inseams
You can determine your shorts’ inseam by laying them down on a flat surface, then measuring from the center of the crotch to the bottom of the hemline.
- Ultra-short: At 4 inches or less, these shorts land high on your thigh and are ideal for running.
- Short: Typically from 4.5-6.5 inches, these shorts sit high to mid-thigh and are ideal for running, tactical workouts and soccer.
- Mid-length: Usually 7-10.5 inches this versatile hemline hits you mid to low thigh, which is appropriate at the golf course, gym and beyond.
- Long: At 11 inches or longer, these shorts rest just above the knee or below it, and they are ideal for golfing, basketball or leisurewear.
Many professional stylists suggest that the best length for men’s shorts is around 2 inches above the knee. But don’t let that advice overshadow your preferences and the activities you plan to perform while wearing them. For example, running shorts are usually shorter than golfing shorts.
What to look for in quality Under Armour men’s shorts
Lining
While not all Under Armour men’s shorts come with liners, they provide many benefits, including added support, much-needed coverage and moisture control. They are also far less apt to ride or bunch up than a separate pair of briefs.
Pockets
Whether they are hidden in the band, at your hips or on your backside, pockets can be a game changer for your shorts. Pockets simplify your routine by letting you carry your essentials while out and about and reduce the risk of lost items.
Compression
Adding compression to your shorts can reduce the risk of chafing, provide more coverage and give you much-needed support. Many also suggest that compression helps muscles recover faster after a rigorous workout.
How much you can expect to spend on Under Armour men’s shorts?
If you don’t mind getting basic unlined shorts, you can score a pair for $16-$25. However, lined shorts typically cost between $30-$70, depending on their style and features.
Under Armour men’s shorts FAQ
What is the best way to wash your Under Armour shorts?
A. To make them last, wash them in cold water with like colors and either tumble dry them on low or hang them to dry.
What are the best briefs to wear under unlined shorts?
A. Consider going with a pair of Under Armour briefs that retain your shorts’ moisture-wicking properties.

August movie preview: A ‘Bullet Train’ and double the Idris Elba
Chicago - August is notorious for being a rather electric movie month, and that’s definitely true this year. As the summer blockbuster rush fades but before the fall awards season starts, you can expect oddball horror like A24’s "Bodies Bodies Bodies" and Peacock’s "They/Them," family friendly flicks like "13: The Musical" and survival thrillers galore. There’s also Brad Pitt boarding a "Bullet Train," Ron Howard directing a drama about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, a sensitive Princess Diana documentary from HBO and a Diane Keaton body-swap comedy.
Oh and Idris Elba has not one but two films coming out this month — one where he fights a lion ("Beast") and one where he plays a genie ("Three Thousand Years of Longing"). So read on to learn more about what’s headed your way, cinematically speaking, in August 2022.

Bullet Train (in theaters August 5)
Brad Pitt stars in Bullet Train.
From "Snowpiercer" to "Train to Busan" to that one scene from "The Wolverine," there’s nothing like a train-set action movie. And "Bullet Train" looks like it’s aiming to be the biggest, most explosive train movie of them all. Based on a Japanese novel and helmed by the director of "John Wick," "Atomic Blonde" and "Deadpool 2," "Bullet Train" stars Brad Pitt as an unlucky assassin codenamed Ladybug. His latest mission puts him on a bullet train through Japan — one that just happens to be filled with an international assortment of past lethal adversaries. With a twisty central mystery to anchor it, "Bullet Train" promises to be funny, stylish, brutally violent and filled with a cast of global stars who are absolutely going for it.
Rated R. 126 minutes. Dir: David Leitch. Featuring: Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Benito A Martínez Ocasio, Sandra Bullock.

Bodies Bodies Bodies (in select theaters August 5; opens nationwide August 12)
Photo: A24
Get ready for some summer horror fun courtesy of A24: This black comedy slasher centers on a group of rich 20-somethings who gather for a hurricane party at a remote family mansion. But when a game of "bodies bodies bodies" a.k.a. "mafia" a.k.a. "werewolf" goes wrong, the backstabbing suddenly gets very literal. With a cast featuring Amandla Stenberg, Pete Davidson, Lee Pace, "Borat 2" breakout Maria Bakalova and "Shiva Baby" star Rachel Sennott, "Bodies Bodies Bodies" is set to be one of the buzziest horror movies of the summer. As FOX Digital film critic Caroline Siede writes in her review from the South by Southwest Film Festival, "The fun of this gnarly whodunit comes from how the Gen Z characters bounce off one another over petty squabbles and self-absorbed concerns, both before and after the bodies start piling up."

Looks like 13 is Ron Howard’s lucky number. After captivating audiences with his 1995 true-life space survival story "Apollo 13," Howard looks to do the same with the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, in which a young Thai soccer team spent 18 days trapped in a flooded cave while a globe effort scrambled to rescue them. "Thirteen Lives" anchors its story around the divers who joined with Thai forces and more than 10,000 volunteers to try to rescue the 12 boys and their coach — navigating a dangerous maze of underwater tunnels in the process. The film promises to showcase "the limitlessness of the human spirit," with Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton as its central cave-diving trio. And for those who prefer to see this harrowing story on the big screen, "Thirteen Lives" began a limited theatrical run on July 29.
Rated PG-13. 142 minutes. Dir: Ron Howard. Featuring: Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton, Tom Bateman, Paul Gleeson, Pattrakorn Tungsupakul, Tui Thiraphat Sajakul, James Teeradon Supapunpinyo, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Weir Sukollawat Kanaros.

Luck (streaming on Apple TV+ August 5)
This latest Apple Original Film might look like a Pixar project, but it’s actually the debut feature for Skydance Animation. "Luck" centers on a young woman named Sam Greenfield (Eva Noblezada), the self-proclaimed unluckiest person in the world. But when a lucky penny and a talking black cat (Simon Pegg) lead her to the Land of Luck, she finds herself caught up in a mythic quest in a thoroughly magical realm where the future of good and bad fortune hangs in the balance. As for the Pixar aesthetics? That could be because Skydance Animation is run by John Lasseter, the former chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios, who left the studio in 2017 following alleged sexual misconduct towards employees and was hired by Skydance in 2019, amidst vocal pushback from Time’s Up and many others in Hollywood.

THEY/THEM -- Pictured: -- (Photo by: Josh Stringer/Blumhouse)
Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan ("Gladiator," "Skyfall") makes his directorial debut with this slasher horror flick set at an LGBTQIA+ conversion camp. Kevin Bacon plays camp founder Owen Whistler, who promises to help queer and trans campers "find a new sense of freedom." But it’s not long before the campers must band together to protect themselves from Whistler’s psychologically unsettling methods — and a potential killer on the loose. This Blumhouse-produced flick promises to be "an empowering slasher film," which sounds like a genre we can get behind. Especially since it showcases exciting up-and-coming talent like Theo Germaine ("The Politician") and Austin Crute ("Daybreak.")
Not rated. 90 minutes. Dir: John Logan. Featuring: Kevin Bacon, Anna Chlumsky, Theo Germaine, Carrie Preston, Quei Tann, Austin Crute, Monique Kim, Anna Lore, Cooper Koch, Darwin del Fabro.

The time his estranged dad catfished him in an attempt to reconnect. Morosini writes, directs and stars as a version of himself while Patton Oswalt plays his hapless dad and Claudia Sulewski embodies the fictional dream girl "Becca." And though FOX Digital film critic Allison Shoemaker found the film a bit uneven in her review from the South by Southwest Film Festival, she notes, "Oswalt’s excellent work hinges on [...] empathy; it’s hard to think of an actor better equipped to play a deeply flawed, if well-intentioned man making a series of catastrophically bad decisions out of love and fear."

Prey (streaming on Hulu August 5)

Here’s a fun twist on a legacy franchise reboot: Instead of continuing the "Predator" series with another present-day military story, "Prey" is set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation. It follows a young woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder), who’s bucked gender norms to become a fierce, highly skilled warrior and hunter. But when an extraterrestrial predator begins stalking her village, she faces her biggest threat yet. Interestingly enough, director Dan Trachtenberg ("10 Cloverfield Lane") initially hoped to keep the "Predator" connection a secret from the film’s marketing. But now that the alien trophy hunter is out of the bag, at least "Predator" fans will know to check this one out.
Rated R. 99 minutes. Dir: Dan Trachtenberg. Featuring: Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, Julian Black Antelope.

Look, a big cheesy musical about tweens isn’t going to be for everyone. But the theater-loving kid in your life is likely to absolutely adore this adaptation of the 2008 Broadway show that (fun fact!) first gave Ariana Grande her start. "13: The Musical" centers on a middle schooler named Evan (Eli Golden) who’s devastated to move from New York City to small-town Indiana. So he decides to win new friends by throwing the coolest Bar Mitzvah party ever, only to discover that the social hierarchies of eighth grade are a whole lot more complicated than he anticipated. With toe-tapping songs from "The Last Five Years" composer Jason Robert Brown and a cast of talented young people, "13: The Musical" hopes to liven up summer with a little musical theater exuberance.
Rated PG. 92 minutes. Dir: Tamra Davis. Featuring: Eli Golden, Debra Messing, Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck, Peter Hermann, Gabriella Uhl, JD McCrary, Frankie McNellis, Lindsey Blackwell, Jonathan Lengel, Ramon Reed, Nolen Dubuc, Luke Islam, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Kayleigh Cerezo, Willow Moss, Liam Wignall, Khiyla Aynne.

Mack & Rita (in theaters August 12)

In this unlikely riff on "Big," a 30-year-old writer and influencer named Mack (Elizabeth Lail) accidentally unleashes her "inner 70-year-old" when she makes a wish to embrace her old-soul personality and wakes up as her future self (Diane Keaton). Posing as Mack’s "Aunt Rita," she winds up becoming an unlikely social media sensation — all while flirting with a cute dog-sitter and learning to let go of the constraints of other people’s expectations. Like 2018’s "Book Club" and 2019’s "Poms," "Mack & Rita" is the latest comedy to mine some fizzy fun from Keaton’s septuagenarian years. Only this time around she gets scene-stealers like Taylour Paige, Patti Harrison and Wendie Malick as scene partners.
Rated PG-13. 95 minutes. Dir: Katie Aselton. Featuring: Diane Keaton, Taylour Paige, Elizabeth Lail, Loretta Devine, Simon Rex, Dustin Milligan, Amy Hill, Lois Smith, Wendie Malick, Patti Harrison, Martin Short, Addie Weyrich, Aimee Carrero, Nicole Byer.

The Princess (streaming on HBO and HBO Max August 13)
Courtesy of HBO
Just a few weeks before the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, HBO premieres this original documentary all about "the people’s princess." Made up entirely of archival audio and video footage, "The Princess" promises an "intimate and immersive look" at the key events in Diana’s life as they happened. As film critic Clint Worthington writes in his review from the Sundance Film Festival, "‘The Princess’ never pretends to impart any scandalous new information. But it offers a front-row seat to Diana’s experiences. We witness the merciless media campaigns to interrogate her private life as well as Diana’s attempts to turn that obsessive scrutiny into a tool for her many humanitarian efforts; we bear witness to the public’s subsequent reduction of a complex woman to a stereotypical camera-hungry fame seeker. More than anything, ‘The Princess’ interrogates how the public’s need for a fairy tale dovetails with their need to destroy it."

Beast (in theaters August 19)

Look, if you ask us, Universal Pictures missed a trick by not calling this movie "Idris Elba vs. a Lion." But that’s what you can expect from this R-rated survival thriller set on the savannah. Elba plays Dr. Nate Daniels, a recently widowed father who decides to take his two teenage daughters to visit a South African game reserve. But what he didn’t anticipate was the giant lion with a murderous hatred of humans. This is the latest survival story from director Baltasar Kormákur, who previously delivered "Everest" and "Adrift." But while those films adapted harrowing true-life stories, "Beast" looks to be a more heightened affair. One that features Elba punching a lion in the face.
Rated R. 93 minutes. Dir: Baltasar Kormákur. Featuring: Idris Elba, Sharlto Copley, Iyana Halley, Leah Sava Jeffries, Riley Keough.

"Star Wars" star John Boyega puts his dramatic skills to excellent use in this thriller based on a harrowing real-life event: It’s 2017, and former US Marine Brian Brown-Easley (Boyega) walks into a Wells Fargo Bank and hands the cashier a note explaining that he has a bomb. What follows is a tense hostage crisis with grievous consequences. As FOX Digital film critic Caroline Siede writes in her Sundance review, "It really can’t be overstated how much Boyega holds the film together in a role that strips him of his showman’s charisma and replaces it with a nervy, capricious, empathetic intelligence that’s counterbalanced by flashes of paranoia and frustration." You can also expect strong supporting turns from Nicole Beharie and the late Michael K. Williams in one of his final film roles.

How do you follow up a once-in-a-lifetime blockbuster achievement like "Mad Max: Fury Road"? With a genie story starring Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton, of course! Director George Miller is back with another curiously eclectic installment in his all-around electric career (in addition to directing all the "Mad Max" movies, he’s also the man behind the "Babe" and "Happy Feet" franchises). Swinton plays a lonely academic named Dr. Alithea Binnie who travels to Istanbul and accidentally unleashes a Djinn (Elba) who offers to grant her three wishes. But the logic-minded Alithea needs some convincing that the offer isn’t too good to be true. The trailer for "Three Thousand Years of Longing" looks trippy, inventive and totally original. So consider this a late summer treat for cinema lovers.
Rated R. 108 minutes. Dir: George Miller. Featuring: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Aamito Lagum, Nicolas Mouawad, Ece Yüksel, Matteo Bocelli, Lachy Hulme, Megan Gale, Zerrin Tekindor, Oğulcan Arman Uslu, Jack Braddy, Burcu Gölgedar.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state health officials issued a more urgent call Thursday for unvaccinated children and adults to get inoculated against polio, citing new evidence of possible “community spread” of the dangerous virus.
The polio virus has now been found in seven different wastewater samples in two adjacent counties north of New York City, health officials said.
So far, only one person has tested positive for polio — an unvaccinated adult in Rockland County who suffered paralysis.
But based on earlier polio outbreaks, "New Yorkers should know that for every one case of paralytic polio observed, there may be hundreds of other people infected,” the state's health commissioner, Dr. Mary T. Bassett, said in a statement.
“Coupled with the latest wastewater findings, the Department is treating the single case of polio as just the tip of the iceberg of much greater potential spread," she said. "As we learn more, what we do know is clear: the danger of polio is present in New York today. We must meet this moment by ensuring that adults, including pregnant people, and young children by 2 months of age are up to date with their immunization — the safe protection against this debilitating virus that every New Yorker needs.”
The polio patient in Rockland County is the first person known to be infected with the virus in the U.S. in nearly a decade. Wastewater samples collected in June and July in adjacent Orange County also contained the virus.
Polio, once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, was declared eliminated in the United States in 1979, more than two decades after vaccines became available.
A majority of people infected with polio have no symptoms, but can still shed the virus and give it to others for days or weeks. A small percentage of people who get the disease suffer paralysis. The disease is fatal for between 5-10% of those paralyzed.
All school children in New York are required to have a polio vaccine, but enforcement of vaccination rules in some areas can be lax. Rockland and Orange counties are both known as centers of vaccine resistance. Statewide, about 79% of have completed their polio vaccination series by age two. In Orange County, that rate is 59%. In Rockland it is 60%.
The Orange County wastewater samples were initially collected from municipal wastewater treatment plants for COVID-19 testing.
“It is concerning that polio, a disease that has been largely eradicated through vaccination, is now circulating in our community, especially given the low rates of vaccination for this debilitating disease in certain areas of our County,” said Orange County Health Commissioner Irina Gelman said. “I urge all unvaccinated Orange County residents to get vaccinated as soon as medically feasible.” | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/polio-fears-rise-in-new-york-amid-possible-community-spread/article_703df344-14d0-11ed-800a-6b3e00a15441.html | 2022-08-05T18:56:31Z | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/polio-fears-rise-in-new-york-amid-possible-community-spread/article_703df344-14d0-11ed-800a-6b3e00a15441.html | false | 35 |
Almost 3,000 motorists were caught speeding on the roads during a police operation over the August bank holiday.
The gardai operation ran from July 28 until August 3 and resulted in 2,937 detections for speeding, 173 arrests for drink and drug driving and 810 mandatory intoxicant testing checkpoints being carried out.
There were 180 fixed charge offences for driving while using a mobile phone and 47 for driving while not wearing a seatbelt.
Assistant Commissioner Paula Hilman, roads policing and community engagement, said: “There has been an alarming increase in road fatalities in 2022.
“I would like to thank all those road users who endeavoured to improve the safety of our roads this August bank holiday weekend, unfortunately there are people who continue to disregard the safety messages.
“There were lifesaver detections over the bank holiday weekend.
“An Garda Siochana remains committed to ensuring compliance with road traffic legislation to improve safety on our roads for all road users.”

A man was sentenced Thursday to more than three years in federal prison for sending threatening emails to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert.
Thomas Patrick Connally Jr., 56, was sentenced in US District Court in Maryland to 37 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He had been arrested by authorities in West Virginia and charged last year with threats against a federal official and interstate communication containing a threat to harm.
In his plea agreement, Connally admitted to sending a series of emails threatening to harm and/or kill Fauci and his family through an encrypted email service based in Switzerland. The investigation revealed that the encrypted email account was associated with Connally, the Justice Department said.
Fauci started receiving the threatening messages to his work email at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Maryland in December 2020, the first of which came with the subject line: "Hope you get a bullet in your compromised satanic skull today," according to the complaint.
One of seven emails that Connally sent to Fauci in a day read: "You and your entire family will be dragged into the street, beaten to death, and set on fire," according to the complaint.
Connally also sent threatening emails to Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary for health at the US Department of Health and Human Services.
He admitted he sent the threats to Fauci and Collins with the "intent to intimidate or interfere with the performance of their official duties and with the intent to retaliate against Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins for performing their official duties, including discussing COVID-19 and its testing and prevention," the Justice Department said.
"Everyone has the right to disagree, but you do not have the right to threaten a federal official's life," US Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron said in a statement. "Threats like these will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Fauci, who also is chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, was forced to beef up security in 2020 as death threats increased amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana House on Friday passed a bill that would ban nearly all abortions in the state, sending the legislation back to the state Senate to confer on House changes.
House members advanced the near-total abortion ban 62-38 with limited exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother.
The measure now goes to the Senate. If approved as is, Indiana lawmakers will become the first in the nation to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June removing its protected status as a constitutional right. The measure then would go to Gov. Eric Holcomb, who has not indicated whether he would sign it.
Republican Rep. Wendy McNamara of Evansville, who sponsored the bill, said the legislation “reflects an understanding that this is one of the most difficult and contentious issues of our lifetime.”
Outside the House chamber Friday, abortion-rights activists chanted over lawmakers’ remarks, carrying signs like “Roe roe roe your vote” and “Build this wall” between church and state. Some House Democrats wore blazers over pink “Bans Off Our Bodies” T-shirts.
The House version of the ban added exceptions for protecting the health and life of the mother after frequent requests from doctors and others who testified last week before a Senate committee. It also allows abortions if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
The bill additionally removes the Senate-approved time frames based on age for abortions in cases of rape or incest — up to 12 weeks for those under 16 and eight weeks for those 16 and older. It instead creates a blanket ban after 10 weeks post-fertilization on abortions in cases of rape and incest. Victims would not be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting to an attack.
Friday’s vote came about one week after the Republican-controlled Senate narrowly passed its ban with similar measures. State senators could consider the House-endorsed abortion ban Friday afternoon, when further changes are possible.
House and Senate legislators listened to hours of testimony over the past two weeks, when residents on all sides of the issue rarely, if ever, supported the legislation. Opposition from abortion-rights supporters said the bill goes too far while anti-abortion activists expressed it doesn’t go far enough.
Indiana was among the first Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The proposed ban also came after the political firestorm over a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to the state from neighboring Ohio to end her pregnancy. The case gained wide attention when an Indianapolis doctor said the child came to Indiana because of Ohio’s “fetal heartbeat” ban.
Democratic Rep. Maureen Bauer spoke tearfully about the people in her South Bend district who oppose the bill — the husbands standing behind their wives, the fathers supporting their daughters — as well as the women “who are demanding that we are seen as equal.”
Bauer’s comments were followed by raucous cheers from hallway protesters and quickly subdued applause from fellow Democrats.
“You may not have thought that these women would show up,” Bauer said. “Maybe you thought we wouldn’t be paying attention.”
West Virginia legislators on July 29 passed up the chance to be the first state with a unified ban after its House of Delegates refused to concur with Senate amendments that removed criminal penalties for physicians who perform illegal abortions. Delegates instead asked for a conference committee to consider the details between the bills.
The debates come amid an evolving landscape of abortion politics across the country as Republicans face party divisions and Democrats see a possible election-year boost.
The Indiana House vote further illustrated a deeply divided chamber, which formerly defeated an amendment that would have removed exceptions for rape and incest. A majority of GOP members wanted their removal.
The House vote and lawmakers’ discussions displayed a similar division seen in the Senate over those same exceptions, which remained in the Senate bill when an attempt among senators last week failed. | https://www.wowo.com/indiana-house-passes-abortion-ban-sends-to-senate/ | 2022-08-05T19:02:17Z | https://www.wowo.com/indiana-house-passes-abortion-ban-sends-to-senate/ | false | 5 |

The last Republican state comptroller in Maryland was one Phillips Lee Goldsborough, who served from 1898 to 1900, when William McKinley was president of the United States. So the odds definitely favor Brooke Lierman (D), the Baltimore City delegate, in the general election for comptroller this fall.
Not only does Lierman have history and party registration on her side, but she’s an indefatigable campaigner brimming with ideas for the office, who is poised to make history as the first woman elected independently to a statewide position in Maryland government. That fact alone gets a lot of people excited.
Lierman’s Republican opponent, Harford County Executive Barry Glassman, is the most solid and qualified GOP nominee in several generations. In addition to his eight years as executive, he has served in the General Assembly and local government. He’s a sheep farmer and also had a long career working for BG&E. He’s well known and well liked in Maryland political circles.
But all that could be blotted out by the turn the state Republican Party has taken this election, nominating seemingly unelectable candidates for governor and attorney general. That puts the squeeze on Glassman, who must figure out how to distance himself from Del. Dan Cox, the GOP gubernatorial nominee, and former Anne Arundel County councilmember Michael Anthony Peroutka, the GOP candidate for attorney general, without completely alienating base Republican voters.
You can imagine a scenario where day after day, Glassman will be asked to answer for the extreme positions and conspiracy theories espoused by his running mates. It cannot be a happy circumstance for one of the few bipartisan happy warriors left in Maryland politics.
But could this in fact be an unanticipated opportunity for Glassman, one that no one really imagined just a couple of weeks ago?
Consider an alternative reality in which former State Commerce Secretary Kelly Schulz, the choice of the Gov. Larry Hogan wing of the GOP, won the Republican nomination for governor. All the attention, money, and political energy would be behind Schulz, who would surely be a tougher general election opponent for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wes Moore than Cox will prove to be.
Under that scenario, Glassman, like all Republican nominees for comptroller decade after decade, would be subject to the vagaries of the state’s typical partisan performance. The comptroller’s race would be overshadowed by the gubernatorial election, and Glassman’s arguments for himself would undoubtedly be ignored. He might benefit from the resources devoted to Schulz’s campaign and the notion that she had a decent shot of winning, but would very much be the second or third banana in the overall Republican conversation.
Now, however, Glassman is a man on his own, and that has its advantages and disadvantages. Yes, he may have undesirable ballot mates in the eyes of many political professionals, but he also has an opportunity to chart his own course. Perhaps some of the GOP establishment enthusiasm that would have been attached to Schulz’s campaign can now be focused his way.
Glassman can credibly argue that he’s the last sane Republican standing — and the only Republican standing in the way of Democratic hegemony in Annapolis. He can pledge to be a nonpartisan fiscal steward of Maryland’s treasury, and hint that Lierman’s agenda is too woke and too costly — and that she’ll try to use the job as a stepping stone to higher office. Some editorial boards will no doubt be responsive to this argument.
Glassman will need some Democratic validators, and there are probably a few of them out there, mostly older white men. He will have Hogan and some of Hogan’s top advisers on his side, and that can’t hurt. But he’ll need the media to pay attention, which will be a challenge with all the Republican crazy to keep tabs on.
You wouldn’t want to bet against Lierman in the general election. But you might want to pay attention to Glassman and how he operates in the spotlight. Sounding a warning against Lierman is still the longest of long shots, but it’s the only play he has.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After more than a decade of mostly losing out, the Internal Revenue Service may finally get the cash infusion it’s long wanted in the economic package that Democrats are working furiously to push through Congress before their August break.
Under a deal worked out by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, the bill would spend an extra $79.6 billion on the beleaguered agency over the next 10 years. The plan would generate an additional $203.7 billion in revenue for the federal government over that time frame, for a net gain of more than $124 billion, the Congressional Budget Office projects.
As the Senate prepares to begin voting on the bill in the coming days, the IRS proposal has become a magnet for GOP attacks, testing Democratic unity as they try to deliver on key climate and health care priorities ahead of the fall midterm elections.
Democrats say the IRS investment is needed to ensure that corporations and wealthier Americans pay what they owe in taxes. But Republicans are warning it will lead to increased scrutiny of small business owners and others who are burdened enough.
The IRS has been mostly on the losing end of congressional funding fights over the past dozen years. In April, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig told members of the Senate Finance Committee the agency’s budget has decreased by more than 15% over the past decade when accounting for inflation and that the number of full-time employees at 79,000 in the last fiscal year was close to 1974 levels.
Enforcement staffing has been hit even harder, falling by some 30% since 2010, even though the filing population increased.
“Every measure that is important to effective tax administration has suffered tremendously in recent years, with profound deficiencies resulting from underinvestment in human capital and information technology,” Rettig said.
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., a longtime member of the Senate Finance Committee, said he hears the same thing from IRS commissioners every few years, regardless of whether they’re serving a Republican or Democratic administration.
“They beg us to provide some resources to the IRS so they can do their job,” Carper said.
Democrats see an opportunity to change that. More than half of their proposed spending increase would go to enforcement. The next biggest chunk, $25.3 billion, would go to operations support, such as rent, security and postage. Another $4.75 billion would go to improve call-back services and other technology designed to improve customer service. And $3.2 billion would go to pre-filing and educational assistance.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., called the investment “essential as a tool to making sure we have a rational tax policy.”
“This will give us the chance to raise the revenue from wealthy tax cheats who are getting out of paying what they owe,” Wyden said.
GOP lawmakers decry the plan and depict a larger IRS as a means to harass constituents.
“In a time of inflation, Democrats also want to spend $80 billion to roughly double the size of the IRS so they can take more money out of the American people through harassment and audits, using taxpayer money to make taxpayers’ lives worse,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday.
“I think it’s terrible for them to want to weaponize the Internal Revenue Service, to supersize it in an effort to go after, you know, families and farmers and small businesses and try to raise more money,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. “It’s basically a shakedown operation.”
One particular complaint is that the Democratic proposal should have put more resources for customer service rather than focusing on enforcement. The pandemic forced the IRS to temporarily shut down its processing facilities for health and safety reasons. That has led to unprecedented delays and challenges with the IRS still struggling to catch up.
“First, take care of good, honest taxpayers just trying to get basic assistance out of the IRS,” said Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont.
In a letter to lawmakers on Thursday, Rettig emphasized that the resources in the package would get the IRS back to historical norms in areas that are challenging the agency. Those include large corporations and high net-worth taxpayers, as well as multinational taxpayers, where sophisticated, specialized teams are needed to unpack complex structures. He also said that audit rates would not rise relative to recent years for those with less than $400,000 in annual income.
“These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans,” Rettig wrote.
The CBO projections indicate that the IRS measures represent about a sixth of the revenue raised by the bill, with that revenue going toward helping people buy private health coverage, boosting federal investments in renewable energy like wind and solar power, and paying down debt, among other things.
It’s unclear which aspects of the Democratic tax proposals could change before the Senate completes work on the bill, but Wyden said he is confident that the boost in spending for the IRS will remain in the final package.
“I can tell you, thus far, I have not had an objection in the Democratic caucus on this provision of beefing up IRS resources so they can go after wealthy tax cheats,” Wyden said. | https://kfor.com/news/ap-top-headlines/tougher-irs-enforcement-central-to-dem-economic-package/ | 2022-08-05T19:12:19Z | https://kfor.com/news/ap-top-headlines/tougher-irs-enforcement-central-to-dem-economic-package/ | false | 32 |
DEADWOOD — Monday, the Deadwood City Commission approved a request from the Deadwood Public Art Committee for the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to loan $45,000, which is half of the purchase price required, to begin the creation of the Calamity Jane sculpture. The committee will ultimately fundraise the total price of the sculpture and repay HPC the loan.
“This is something that has been in the works for the last two or three years,” said Deadwood Historic Preservation Officer Kevin Kuchenbecker. “Mike Johnson is the chair of the arts committee. He approached the historic preservation commission for one-half, $45,000, to get this project moving forward. Paul Moore of Norman, Okla., who is a world-renowned sculptor, will create a bronze maquette that will be used in the fundraising process to create a bronze life-sized sculpture of Calamity Jane — there is a mock-up of that that needs to be further detailed — sitting on a bench on Main Street with a bottle up. It’s part of an overall, we’d like to see more art, in the form of bronzes, throughout town.”
Commissioner Sharon Martinisko asked for the estimated date the sculpture would be delivered.
A maquette is a miniature sculpture that will resemble the final bronze sculpture. It will be used as the prototype for people to view during the fundraising process.
“From now, to 18 months, depending on when he gets this maquette done,” Johnson said.
Martinisko clarified that the $45,000 is half of the $90,000 that the actual bronze costs and that the loan is a 0% loan from HPC.
“Yes and when it’s done, that’s when the other $45,000 is due,” Johnson said. “By that time, we should have raised at least $100,000 or $110,000.”
Kuchenbecker said, in the end, the sculpture will be owned by the city.
“This will be a great addition to our Wild Bill sculptures already in place,” Kuchenbecker said.
Commissioner Charlie Struble asked what line item the money will come from.
“I’ll have the money left in my public ed,” Kuchenbecker said. “It will go down as an expense and then, when they repay it, it will come back as a receivable.”
The committee is presently seeking donations to cover the total cost of the project.

‘The Bachelorette’: Everything Hayden Markowitz Said About Gabby and Rachel
ABC’s The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 4 exposed Hayden Markowitz’s real feelings for Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. After making disparaging comments about the women to the other men, James “Meatball” Clarke told Rachel what Hayden said. So, what did Hayden say about Rachel and Gabby?
[Spoiler alert: The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 4 spoilers ahead.]
What did Hayden Markowitz say about Gabby and Rachel in ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 19 Episode 4?
Before The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 4, Hayden admitted to Gabby he considered her “rough around the edges” during a private conversation. “I think you have the bubbly aspect to you, the goofy aspect, and you’re a little bit more, I don’t want to say rough around the edges, but ya’ll want people to be very direct with ya’ll,” Hayden told Gabby.
In week 4, he came back with even worse comments. The beginning of the episode shows Hayden justifying calling Gabby “rough around the edges,” as he insisted Gabby called herself those words. “I would hope that Gabby is a little bit more mature than that,” he said while talking to James “Meatball” Clarke. “I don’t think I said anything wrong, to be honest with you. My dumb a** uses the same verbiage that Gabby uses to describe herself and she didn’t like that. Well, b*tch, maybe you shouldn’t use that word to describe yourself then.”
Hayden then said Gabby and Rachel “don’t hold a candle” to his ex. “I can tell you right now, I don’t see how any guy in here can be like, ‘I’m f*cking marrying these girls.'”
Hayden Markowitz then shared details about his dog with Rachel
After Hayden’s comments early on in The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 4, he shares photos and information about his dying dog with Rachel. “My main goal now is to get that rose tonight from Rachel,” he told the cameras. Hayden then said sharing about his dog will take their relationship to “another level.”
Hayden shared that Rambo was diagnosed with a brain tumor eight months before competing on The Bachelorette. “I wouldn’t be here if my intentions weren’t to try to further our relationship,” he added.
After Hayden talked about his dog, Meatball approached Rachel. “He made a vulgar comparison about you and his ex,” Meatball shared. “It was something about breasts. And he also said, ‘I don’t trust these b*tches,’ referring to you and Gabby.”
Rachel then approached Hayden about what he said about her behind her back. Hayden told her, “To be frank, I think our conversation got interrupted with Tino.” She wasn’t having it, and she sent him home.
He joined the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 8 cast
Fans watching The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 4 were elated to see Hayden Markowitz go home after what he said. But this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Hayden.
The Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 cast allegedly includes Hayden Markowitz, Jacob Rapini, Joey and Justin Young, Johnny DePhillipo, Logan Palmer, and Tyler Norris. Early Bachelor in Paradise spoilers might suggest Hayden doesn’t walk away with love. He reportedly leaves the beach early on, with twins Joey and Justin outlasting him.
The Bachelorette Season 19 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Cabrera will sit Friday against the Rays.
Reports from Thursday indicated that Cabrera would be limited to starting every other game for at least the next week while he manages lingering knee pain. The Tigers appear to be sticking to that plan so far. Cabrera's production has dipped this year, as his .268/.317/.332 line is good for a career-worst 85 wRC+, but he's due $32 million next season, so he has a strong incentive to hold off on retirement for one more year. Victor Reyes will be the designated hitter Friday. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/tigers-miguel-cabrera-heads-to-bench/ | 2022-08-05T19:15:42Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/tigers-miguel-cabrera-heads-to-bench/ | false | null |
