MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The 10-foot par putt in regulation was so crucial and the moment so important that Will Zalatoris doesn’t remember screaming out when he made it, “What are they gonna say now?”
It took three playoff holes to get the answer Sunday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and it was more along the lines of what they won’t say.
Zalatoris is no longer the best on the PGA Tour without a victory.
Already a force in the majors, Zalatoris got that first win out of the way with clutch putts and smart decisions to beat Sepp Straka and capture the first FedEx Cup playoffs event.
“It’s hard to say, ‘About time,’ when it’s your second year on tour, but it’s about time,” Zalatoris said. “Considering all those close finishes, it means a lot.”
He could have been referring to his runner-up to Hideki Matsuyama in the Masters last year, playoff losses at Torrey Pines and at Southern Hills in the PGA Championship, and most recently the putt that burned the edge of the cup that kept him from a U.S. Open playoff.
This one could have gone either way, a playoff that featured three penalty drops in three holes, neither player making birdie and Zalatoris winning on the par-3 11th with a bogey.
He looked to be in trouble from a fairway bunker on the 18th in regulation until Zalatoris made that 10-footer for par at a 4-under 66. He was in the trees, close to a boundary fence on the 18th on the second playoff hole when he wisely chipped out and made a 15-foot par putt.
Nothing was more wild than the final hole.
His tee shot hit the bank and then bounced seven times on the rocks before coming to rest. Straka followed with a shot that hit the bank, took one bounce off the rocks and went into the water. A huge break for Zalatoris? Not really. He had no realistic shot.
Straka went to the drop zone and his wedge went into the back bunker. He played his fourth shot out to 4 feet as Zalatoris was still going over his options.
“Considering where Sepp was and he had 4 feet for 5, there’s no reason for me to try that shot and make it bank right into the grass and go back in the water and all of a sudden I’ve lost the golf tournament,” Zalatoris said.
He went to the drop zone, hit to 7 feet and let his raised hands drop over his head in relief when he made the winning putt.
Zalatoris moves into the top 10 in the world for the first time and takes the No. 1 spot in the FedEx Cup, assuring him a reasonable shot at the $18 million prize in two weeks.
Straka, already a winner this year in the Honda Classic, narrowly missed a 20-foot birdie putt for the win on the 18th for a 67. He had a 25-foot putt for the win on the 18th on the first playoff hole and had to make a 7-footer the second time around to stay in the game.
“This course is where every shot you hit you’re on the edge of your seat,” Straka said. “Add the nerves of competing for a tournament to that, especially for a playoff event and yeah, it can get a little crazy.”
They finished at 15-under 265.
Straka, who played bogey-free over the final 13 holes in regulation, moves to No. 8 in the standings and is assured his first trip to the Tour Championship at East Lake.
Lucas Glover came away with a consolation prize. The former U.S. Open champion came into the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 121, knowing that only the top 70 advance to the next tournament.
Glover closed with a 66 and wound up in a tie for third. Not only was he among four players who moved into the top 70, he now is at No. 34 and has a good chance of being part of the top 30 who go to the Tour Championship to play for the $18 million first prize.
Also moving into the top 70 were Adam Scott, Andrew Putnam and Wyndham Clark, who had reason to think he had thrown away his chances when he played a four-hole stretch in 4-over par and had to save par on the 18th for a 72. He finished at No. 70 by three points.
Meanwhile, No. 1 in the world stays with Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who missed the cut and spent Sunday playing Pine Valley for the first time.
British Open champion Cameron Smith could have replaced him by winning, and he arrived at the TPC Southwind two shots out of the lead. And then he was four shots back without hitting a shot. Smith was given a two-shot penalty when rules officials realized upon review that when Smith took a penalty drop in the third round, the ball was still touching the red hazard line.
They checked with Smith, who confirmed it was touching the line. He birdied the first hole, made only one other birdie, shot 70 and tied for 13th. Smith declined interview requests.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains "forward-looking" statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements. Statements that are not statements of historical facts are "forward-looking" statements and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "estimate," "project," "planned," "contemplate," "potential," "possible," "proposed," "intend," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "may," "will," "would," "should," "could" and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking" statements. "Forward-looking" statements are based on the Company's current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. The Company cautions readers that any such "forward-looking" statements it makes are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from anticipated results or expectations expressed in its "forward-looking" statements as a result of a variety of factors, including many that are beyond the Company's control. These factors include, among others, existing and unknown future limitations on the ability of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries to make their cash flow available to the Company for payments on the Company's indebtedness or other purposes; global demands for bio-fuels and grain and oilseed commodities, which have exhibited volatility, and can impact the cost of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, thus affecting available rendering feedstock and selling prices for the Company's products; reductions in raw material volumes available to the Company due to weak margins in the meat production industry as a result of higher feed costs, reduced consumer demand or other factors, reduced volume from food service establishments or otherwise; reduced demand for animal feed; reduced finished product prices, including a decline in fat and used cooking oil finished product prices; changes to worldwide government policies relating to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that adversely affect programs like the U.S. government's renewable fuel standard, low carbon fuel standards and tax credits for biofuels both in the United States and abroad; possible product recall resulting from developments relating to the discovery of unauthorized adulterations to food or food additives; the occurrence of 2009 H1N1 flu (initially known as "Swine Flu"), highly pathogenic strains of avian influenza (collectively known as "Bird Flu"), severe acute respiratory syndrome ("SARS"), bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("BSE"), porcine epidemic diarrhea ("PED") or other diseases associated with animal origin in the United States or elsewhere, such as the outbreak of African Swine Fever ("ASF") in China and elsewhere; the occurrence of pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks, such as the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak; unanticipated costs and/or reductions in raw material volumes related to the Company's compliance with the existing or unforeseen new U.S. or foreign (including, without limitation, China) regulations (including new or modified animal feed, Bird Flu, SARS, PED, BSE, ASF or similar or unanticipated regulations) affecting the industries in which we operate or our value added products; risks associated with the DGD Joint Venture, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions and issues relating to the announced expansion project; risks and uncertainties relating to international sales and operations, including imposition of tariffs, quotas, trade barriers and other trade protections imposed by foreign countries; difficulties or a significant disruption in the Company's information systems or failure to implement new systems and software successfully, risks relating to possible third party claims of intellectual property infringement; increased contributions to the Company's pension and benefit plans, including multiemployer and employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as required by legislation, regulation or other applicable U.S. or foreign law or resulting from a U.S. mass withdrawal event; bad debt write-offs; loss of or failure to obtain necessary permits and registrations; continued or escalated conflict in the Middle East, North Korea, Ukraine or elsewhere; uncertainty regarding the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union; and/or unfavorable export or import markets. These factors, coupled with volatile prices for natural gas and diesel fuel, climate conditions, currency exchange fluctuations, general performance of the United States and global economies, disturbances in world financial, credit, commodities and stock markets, and any decline in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, including the inability of consumers and companies to obtain credit due to lack of liquidity in the financial markets, among others, could cause actual results to vary materially from the "forward-looking" statements in this press release or negatively impact the Company's results of operations. Among other things, future profitability may be affected by the Company's ability to grow its business, which faces competition from companies that may have substantially greater resources than the Company. Other risks and uncertainties regarding the Company, its business and the industries in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update its "forward-looking" statements whether as a result of change of circumstances, new events or otherwise.

WPIAL reveals sites for fall championships including 5A, 6A football finals
By:
Monday, August 15, 2022 | 3:55 PM
The WPIAL has chosen Norwin as host site for the Class 5A and 6A football finals, the two championship games that won’t be played at Acrisure Stadium this year.
The 5A and 6A games are Nov. 19.
The list of fall championship venues was revealed Monday by the WPIAL board. Among the other sites, boys and girls soccer finals return to Highmark Stadium Nov. 2-4 or Nov. 3-5, cross country is at Cal (Pa.) on Oct. 27 and Robert Morris will host the girls volleyball finals Nov. 5.
North Allegheny and Bethel Park will host singles and doubles championships in girls tennis. The singles finals are Sept. 21-22 and the doubles are Oct. 5-6. Washington & Jefferson will host the team tennis finals Oct. 19.
W&J also will host field hockey championships Oct. 29.
The WPIAL will use three courses for the individual golf championships. The Class 2A boys are at Oakmont Country Club on Oct. 4, and Allegheny Country Club hosts the Class 3A boys Oct. 6. The Class 2A and 3A girls play Oct. 3 at Valleybrook Country Club.
The team golf championships are Oct. 13 at Cedarbrook Golf Club.
The WPIAL needed to find an alternate venue for the Class 5A and 6A football finals because they must be played a week earlier than the 4A, 3A, 2A and A championships, which are Nov. 25 at newly named Acrisure Stadium.
The scheduling difference is caused by the state playoff brackets. The WPIAL 5A and 6A champions enter the state playoffs a week earlier than the four other classifications.
Norwin has hosted four WPIAL football finals over the past four years. Most recently, the 2021 Class 6A final between Mt. Lebanon and Central Catholic was held at Norwin’s stadium. The school also hosted Class 5A and 2A finals in 2019 and the 5A final in 2018.
The stadium seats close to 6,000.
“We love hosting events here,” Norwin athletic director Mike Burrell said.
“We are blessed with great facilities. Our football stadium is outstanding, and we continue to make improvements. … We consider hosting events a big honor. It’s great for our district, our community and it’s great for local businesses.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Steadily falling prices have given consumers some relief at the pump over the last several weeks. The lowered costs are also a relief on the business side, as some companies have had to budget extra for fuel.
With diesel down roughly 35 cents since last month, it’s helped to ease business costs for those that spend their livelihood on the roads. Lakeville Trucking says the impact this year in fuel alone is significant.
“Budget-wise, we’re probably up 35 to 40 percent versus the previous year. It’s significant,” said Alex Voronin, owner of Lakeville Trucking.
For companies like Lakeville Trucking, record-high gas prices have pushed the budget. With driving as a necessity, it’s not something the business could eliminate.
Voronin said that even over the last few weeks, he’s noticed a difference for the better as prices have dropped. But he was quick to point out, they’re not where they typically should be.
“It’s costing probably close to $1,200 to $1,300 to fill up a truck right now,” he said. “It used to be $700 to $800, so it’s a big difference.”
For the average driver, there’s a bit of relief compared to months ago, when prices hovered at $5 a gallon for regular gas.
“As of right now, fewer people are traveling, there’s a little bit less demand even though some days there’s a bit tighter supply of the oil itself,” Valerie Puma, a representative of AAA Western and Central New York, said. “Just with the way the supply and demand are going hand in hand, all those variables together is why we’re seeing lower prices at the pump.”
Nationwide, gas prices have continuously declined for nearly two months. Some business owners, however, are hoping for more.
“In some cases, you just take in the loss or breakeven just to run a truck, to make sure employees have a job and hope tomorrow it changes and we’re making money again,” Voronin said.
Monday, the price of oil by barrel was below 90 dollars compared to early June, when the price-per-barrel was roughly $30 more expensive. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/drop-in-gas-prices-offers-slight-relief-for-businesses-consumers/ | 2022-08-15T22:51:57Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/drop-in-gas-prices-offers-slight-relief-for-businesses-consumers/ | false | 1 |
2 teens out of hospital, no arrests yet as Gurnee police investigate Great America shooting
Gurnee police released few details Monday as they worked to solidify information about a shooting that injured three people Sunday evening in the parking lot outside Six Flags Great America theme park.
The two teens who were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with gunshot wounds have been released, police said Monday afternoon. A third who had a shoulder injury had declined treatment Sunday night.
Police also said Monday afternoon no arrests have been made and details were not being released due to the nature of the case, which they've described as a targeted shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Gurnee police at (847) 599-7000. Anonymous tips also can be submitted to Lake County Crime Stoppers at (847) 662-2222, online at lakecountycrimestoppers.com or on the P3 mobile app.
A 17-year-old boy from Aurora had an upper thigh wound and a 19-year-old woman from Appleton, Wisconsin, had a lower a leg wound, police said.
Police said multiple 911 calls were received about 7:50 p.m. Sunday, about 10 minutes before closing, regarding shots fired at Six Flags. A white sedan entered the parking lot and drove toward the front entrance, they said.
An unidentified number of suspects got out of the car and began shooting toward another person in the parking lot, police said, then got back in the car and left.
Police said the shooting appeared to be a targeted situation outside the park and not an active-shooter situation inside the park.
Great America was open Monday, but park officials did not immediately provide an update of what happened Sunday evening or say whether security measures or policies had or will be changed as a result.
On Sunday night, a park spokesperson said Six Flags dedicates the "greatest amount of time, talent and resources to safety and security."
"Layers of preventive measures both inside and outside the park are in place for the protection of guests and team members," spokesperson Rachel Kendziora said in a statement late Sunday night.
Cameras are in the parking lot and inside the park, uniformed and plain clothes patrol are made throughout the property, and "advanced screening technology" allows the park to react quickly, she said.
Gurnee police also have a substation at Six Flags. Kendziora thanked Gurnee police for an "ongoing presence and commitment" to the park. | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220815/2-teens-out-of-hospital-no-arrests-yet-as-gurnee-police-investigate-great-america-shooting | 2022-08-15T22:54:42Z | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220815/2-teens-out-of-hospital-no-arrests-yet-as-gurnee-police-investigate-great-america-shooting | false | 1 |

Brittney Griner's legal team has appealed against the American basketball star's guilty verdict and nine-year prison sentence on drug smuggling charges in Russia, the lawyers said on Monday.
Griner was arrested for carrying vape cartridges containing with marijuana in a Moscow airport in February amid soaring tension between Washington and Moscow, and just before Russian leader Vladimir Putin launched his ongoing assault on Ukraine.
The athlete was on her way to Yekaterinburg, in western Russia, to play for a local team during the WNBA's off-season.
Griner pleaded guilty to the charge but sought leniency, saying that she packed the cartridges inadvertently and marijuana was prescribed to her by a doctor in the U.S. to help her cope with pain from injuries sustained during her basketball career. In early August, a court in the Moscow region found her guilty.
Before her trial began in July, the State Department designated her as being "wrongfully detained," moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs — effectively the U.S. government's chief hostage negotiator.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. had put forward a "substantial proposal" to Russia for a potential prisoner exchange. According to media reports, the potential swap would see Griner and another U.S. national, Paul Whelan, swapped in exchange for Viktor Bout, a convicted arms dealer nicknamed the "Merchant of Death" who has been in U.S. custody for over a decade.
The Kremlin initially gave a measured response, indicating that no swap would be considered until there was a verdict in Griner's case. Moscow also warned the U.S. against exerting public pressure in an effort to secure the athlete's release. Dmitry Peskov, the presidential spokesperson, repeatedly said that the talks should go on behind closed doors, through "established channels."
Over the weekend, however, Russian officials confirmed that negotiations were underway and acknowledged that Moscow was indeed seeking an exchange for Bout.
"The discussion of the very sensitive topic of the exchange of imprisoned citizens of Russia and the United States is taking place within the channels determined by our presidents," Alexander Darchiev, a high-profile Russian diplomat, told state news agency TASS on Saturday.
"The personalities mentioned above are indeed being considered," he said referring to the reports about Griner, Whelan and Bout.
"The Russian side has been seeking the release of Viktor Bout for a long time," Darchiev noted.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A red panda that spent two days on the lam after escaping from an Australian zoo was recaptured Sunday after he was spotted hanging out in a fig tree in a nearby park.
Named Ravi, the 7-year-old panda had arrived at Adelaide Zoo last week after he was brought in from another zoo with hopes that he would pair up with a female red panda named Mishry. But by Friday, Ravi was gone.
Adelaide Zoo Director Phil Ainsley told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that zookeepers spent Sunday trying to entice Ravi down from the fig tree with some of his favorite foods, including bamboo and sweet corn, to no avail.
In the end they fired a tranquilizer dart.
“We used a couple of different dart devices, finally got a dart into him and then just had to wait about 15 minutes just for the drug to take some effect,” Ainsley said.
Ravi then fell into the blankets of zookeepers who were waiting beneath the tree.
“Ravi’s doing really well,” Ainsley told the broadcaster. “Settling down into animal health hospital, where he’s just going to spend the next two or three days after being on the run. Just want to make sure he’s all healthy and recovered from his adventure.”
Ainsley said they discovered Ravi had escaped his enclosure Friday morning and initially focused their attention within the zoo, figuring he’d be up one of the large trees there. It wasn’t until Sunday morning that a zookeeper spotted him in the fig tree in the nearby botanic park.
Ainsley told the broadcaster they’d be reviewing the zoo’s CCTV footage to figure out how Ravi escaped.
“Obviously he’d just arrived and was testing his enclosure,” Ainsley said. “We know that red pandas are incredibly agile, and renowned for being escapologists.” | https://www.wtrf.com/news/weird/ap-strange-news/red-panda-found-in-fig-tree-after-escaping-australian-zoo/ | 2022-08-15T23:01:29Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/weird/ap-strange-news/red-panda-found-in-fig-tree-after-escaping-australian-zoo/ | true | 58 |

WWE is just weeks away from their Clash at the Castle premium live event in Cardiff, which will feature a slew of top matches like Drew McIntyre challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal championship.
One superstar who will not be competing at the event is former world champion AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One revealed during an interview with Inside the Ropes that while he would love to wrestle at the show there doesn’t seem to be a storyline for him going in.
“I would love to put on a show. I don’t know that I have a story or anything, and it’s a shame. There are plenty of other performers that have great stories, so I’m not saddened by the fact that I won’t be there because I know you guys are going to have such a great night with so many great matches.”
Styles was noticeably absent from WWE’s last two premium live events (Money in the Bank, SummerSlam), but he will be challenging Bobby Lashley for the U.S. title on this evening’s Raw.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702871602796/id-wfo-boise-warnings-watches-and-advisories | 2022-08-15T23:05:53Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702871602796/id-wfo-boise-warnings-watches-and-advisories | false | 12721 |

To Help Business Owners Understand the Value of Local SEO, Online Advantages Recently Posted an In-Depth Guide about this Important Topic
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Maglodi, founder of the full service internet marketing company Online Advantages, is pleased to announce that local search engine optimization is a major focus for his company in 2022.
To read more about the importance of local search engine optimization, please check out https://onlineadvantages.net/local-search-engine-optimization-by-online-advantages/.
As Maglodi noted, in addition to making local search engine optimization a key focus of Online Advantages in 2022, he also feels strongly about the importance of helping to teach both current and potential clients about why SEO is so crucial.
This inspired him to create and post the new guide, which is the latest in his company's SEO education academy series.
"At Online Advantages, we believe the concepts of SEO shouldn't be complicated or confusing. That's why we're working to give you the definitive guide to local SEO, breaking down the jargon and terminology so you can understand what all this 'stuff' is and why it matters to your business," the educational guide noted, adding that a great place to start is by learning about organic versus local SEO.
While organic SEO positions and ranks a company's online content against everyone else in their niche by using signals and keywords, these results may also pull data from across the country or around the globe. This means that a local business listing may end up being unseen by the ideal audience.
As the guide noted, local search engine optimization is different, although it works on similar principles as organic SEO.
"Localized content, location services, and a regularly updated Google My Business listing optimized for business SEO help nearby customers looking for your products and services contact you more easily and efficiently."
Additional topics in the new Online Advantages guide include a basic overview of local SEO, how it can be used for a boosted reach, presence and ROI, and the importance of being consistent with SEO efforts.
Online Advantages is a unique full service internet marketing company. Founder Matt Maglodi specializes in all aspects of online marketing from video marketing, to pay per click advertising, organic search and social media. For more information, please visit https://onlineadvantages.net/.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Monday warned mayors of big, mostly Democratic cities to be “on notice” as groups of migrants could be bused to their town from Texas.
This comes after New York City received its first busload of migrants from Texas earlier this month as part of a program launched by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in April. The program organizes charter buses to take migrants who have crossed the border and agree to it to Washington, D.C. Now, New York City is being added as a destination.
“Every mayor of a big blue city, which are most of the top 25 in the country, should be on notice. Look out your window, you might see a bus coming to you one day in the future, and the buses are going to keep coming,” Patrick said to Anchor Bill Hemmer on Fox News.
Texas’ migrant transport plan was created as the Biden administration moved to end Title 42, a policy enacted at the start of the pandemic in March 2020 that expels migrants from the U.S. without giving them a chance to request asylum.
“If we can put pressure on all these Democrat mayors around the country, maybe they’ll pick up the phone and call Joe Biden and say, ‘the border is not secure,'” Patrick continued on to say.
Earlier this month, Abbott invited the mayors of Washington, D.C., and New York City to visit the Texas-Mexico border after they complained about Texas busing migrants to their cities.
After the migrant group arrived in New York, the Texas Tribune reported NYC Mayor Eric Adams said, “I think that Gov. Abbott, what he’s doing is just so inhumane.” Adams accused Abbott of “putting them on a bus for the 44-hour ride, very few breaks, no food, no direction and clear information.”
As of Aug. 5, more than 6,500 migrants on over 150 buses have left Texas and been dropped off in D.C. since the effort was launched in April, according to the governor’s press secretary.
“Texas will keep sending buses of migrants to NYC and I support sending migrants to other big Democrat-led cities,” Patrick went on to write on Twitter. “The Democrats are squarely responsible for the crisis on our southern border. Until Democrat governors and mayors speak up, they share the blame with Joe and Kamala.” | https://www.ketk.com/news/politics/texas-politics/dan-patrick-to-blue-cities-be-on-notice-for-buses-of-migrants-from-texas/ | 2022-08-15T23:12:31Z | https://www.ketk.com/news/politics/texas-politics/dan-patrick-to-blue-cities-be-on-notice-for-buses-of-migrants-from-texas/ | false | 12 |
How to watch No. 5 Notre Dame vs. No. 2 Ohio State originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Week 1 of the 2022 college football season will feature a primetime top-five showdown.
The No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will visit the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes for a heavyweight clash at the Horseshoe during Labor Day Weekend.
Ohio State was slotted behind No. 1 Alabama in the preseason AP poll following an 11-2 2021 campaign that was capped by a Rose Bowl victory over Utah. With Heisman Trophy favorite C.J. Stroud entering his second season as the starter under center, the Buckeyes have a strong chance to capture their first national championship since 2014.
Notre Dame, meanwhile, earned its highest preseason ranking since 2006 after going 11-2 and falling to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl last season. The Fighting Irish are heading into a new era with a first-time head coach in Marcus Freeman and a first-time starting quarterback in sophomore Tyler Buchner. But, despite the departures of former head coach Brian Kelly and four-year starting QB Ian Book, expectations are clearly still high for Notre Dame in 2022.
Here's what you need to know before the Fighting Irish battle the Buckeyes:

What We’re Tracking:
- Rain for some tonight into Tuesday
- Cooling down for the rest of the week
- Another slight rain chance this weekend
The cold front finally pushes farther south by the evening giving many a chance for some scattered showers overnight and a few isolated showers or storms that may linger into Tuesday. The best chances for widespread rain with this system, though, will be to our north and east. Overnight lows in the upper 60s.
While many areas will not see rain, several areas will on Tuesday. However, with clouds on tap off and on for most of the day Tuesday, we should manage to cool things down with afternoon highs in the 70s.
After the rain chance moves out, temperatures will stay on the ‘cooler’ side with lower to middle 80s sticking around even with lots of sunshine through the middle of the week. Cooler nights are also expected with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s before we see a few clouds and slight rain chances return next weekend.

Miller High Life partners with ice cream company to create 'Ice Cream Dive Bar'
On a hot day, there's nothing quite like ice cream to cool you down, or maybe an ice cold beer.
But how about both? Now, there's beer-flavored ice cream.
Miller High Life has partnered with Tipsy Scoop to create the Ice Cream Dive Bar, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the ice cream bar and the quintessential dive bar, known for the smell of stale beer, great music and good times.
As you'd expect, the ice cream bar is infused with High Life (up to 5% ABV) along with a peanut swirl, reminiscent of bar floors covered in peanut shells.
There's even a bit of tobacco smoke flavor to really bring back those dive bar memories.
The ice cream treat also features a gooey caramel swirl to incorporate the distinct sticky dive bar floor feeling, a fun sprinkle of carbonated candy and a dark chocolate dip to evoke the dark wood and dim lighting ambiance that all good dive bars share.

It is likely that this year the active circulation of the influenza virus in Russia will begin in mid-autumn, and not in December, as last year, Natalya Pshenichnaya, deputy director for clinical and analytical work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, told Izvestia.
The expert came to such conclusions on the basis of data from Australia. In the Southern Hemisphere, the influenza season typically runs from June to October, and the pattern of flu is then typically repeated north of the equator, where the virus traditionally circulates actively from November to April.
“If we extrapolate the epidemiological situation in Australia to the Northern Hemisphere, then we can assume that our flu season will start earlier than usual,” said Natalya Pshenichnaya.
As the specialist explained, in Australia, the incidence of influenza has increased significantly since mid-April. The decline only started in July. Although the situation in Australia has now returned to normal, in general, the influenza season on this continent began earlier. According to official statistics, the peak of the number of cases of influenza in Australia occurred at the beginning of June and amounted to about 29 thousand infected. For comparison: in the pre-pandemic 2019, the maximum number of patients was reached in July, and it did not exceed 20 thousand patients.

Classic Monster Movies at Rosendale Theatre
Rosendale Theatre is running a vintage monster movie series.
The Rosendale Theatre in Rosendale, NY (Ulster County) is a three-story, 260-seat movie theatre and performance center that first opened as a casino in 1905 and began showing films in the 1920s.
A stage was installed in the 1930s and the venue started showing live vaudeville and burlesque acts, and once housed the town's fire department. Anthony Cacchio Sr. rented the building in 1949 and converted it into a movie theater, showing about 300 movies a year. After more than 60 years of operation, the Cacchio family decided to sell, and the venue ownership was transferred to a nonprofit, the Rosendale Theatre Collective in 2010.
Saturday Creature Features in the Hudson Valley
Rosendale Theatre will be running a vintage monster movie series entitled Saturday Creature Features starting Aug. 27 with the 1962 independent horror film Carnival of Souls starring Candace Hilligoss and Sidney Berger.

A DISAPPOINTED Phil Healy admitted her performance in the women’s 400m heats at the European Athletics Championships was ‘not good enough’ as she made an early exit from the competition.
The Bandon AC track star, in lane three, finished a surprise sixth in 53.10, well outside her PB of 51.50.
Healy looked in a good position coming off the final bend but struggled down the home straight.

A Texas child protective services worker was fired this month after she was caught on video telling a 14-year-old girl she should consider sex work, state officials said Sunday.
The unidentified Texas Department of Family and Protective Services employee was dismissed after her conversation with the girl, who recorded the discussion while she was in foster care.
The video was first aired by KRIV-TV of Houston. The girl was being housed in a hotel before a foster family could be found. The video shows the girl asking the employee for food, then being encouraged by the employee to become a prostitute.
“The person in the video — who was employed as [child protective services] support staff — was dismissed from her position August 10,” agency spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said in a statement. | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/texas-child-protective-services-worker-fired-after-telling-14-year-old-girl-in-foster-care-to-enter-sex-work/2836219/ | 2022-08-15T23:22:20Z | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/texas-child-protective-services-worker-fired-after-telling-14-year-old-girl-in-foster-care-to-enter-sex-work/2836219/ | false | null |

Since the modern-day Charger was launched in 2005, the Brampton (Ontario, Canada) Assembly Plant has built 3 million Dodge vehicles, representing a billion horsepower.
Charger and Challenger are departing on top — Challenger closed 2021 as the No. 1 muscle car in the U.S. — with enthusiast demand that will only gain momentum as the brand teases the rollout of the 2023 vehicle lineup.
"We are celebrating the end of an era — and the start of a bright new electrified future — by staying true to our brand," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "At Dodge, we never lift, and the brand will mark the last of our iconic Charger and Challenger nameplates in their current form in the same way that got us here, with a passion both for our products and our enthusiasts that drives us to create as much uniqueness in the muscle car community and marketplace as possible."
New Models Embrace Dodge Heritage
Dodge will pay tribute to the long and legendary history of the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger by introducing seven heritage-influenced models for the 2023 model year. The models were teased and displayed under full vehicle covers at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, during the first day of the three-day Dodge Speed Week event, which featured announcements and reveals of current Dodge products.
Each model will share a connection to an iconic Dodge model from the past, reaching back to the dawn of the muscle-car era in the 1960s and 1970s. Graphics featured on each vehicle cover offer hints to the secret identities of the models displayed at M1 Concourse.
Details and specific information on six of the vehicles will be released later this year. The new models will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis at top-selling Dodge dealerships, with a list of dealerships to be shared on DodgeGarage.com.
The seventh and final 2023 Dodge model will be the very last of its kind and will be revealed at the 2022 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, scheduled for Nov. 1-4, 2022.
Heritage Colors, Commemorative Plaques and Jailbreaks
Dodge brand will also celebrate its 2023 model lineup by bringing back three beloved heritage exterior colors: B5 Blue, Plum Crazy purple and Sublime green. One popular modern color, Destroyer Grey, also returns to the fold. Charger and Challenger will each offer 14 total 2023 exterior color options. 2023 Charger and Challenger R/T models will also feature new "345" fender badging, a callout to the 345-cubic-inch HEMI® engine under the hood.
All 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger models will also carry a special commemorative "Last Call" underhood plaque, making every 2023 Charger and Challenger a true collector's vehicle. The brushed aluminum underhood "Last Call" plaque features the vehicle name and a vehicle silhouette, as well as "Designed in Auburn Hills" and "Assembled in Brampton" to proclaim each vehicle's origin.
The brand is also expanding the reach of its popular SRT Jailbreak models, which were introduced earlier this year for the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, unlocking color combination ordering restrictions and exclusive content. For 2023 model year, Jailbreak models will also be available for the 717-horsepower Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat, providing even more owners the option of building their own one-of-a-kind muscle car.
Making the "Last Call"
Dodge is taking a new approach to getting the Charger and Challenger in the hands of its enthusiasts. The entire 2023 Charger and Challenger model-year run will be allocated to dealerships all at once, helping customers identify and secure their dream cars more easily.
Dodge will provide customers a guide for locating their desired Charger or Challenger at DodgeGarage.com, which will include information on all 2023 Charger and Challenger inventory at each Dodge dealership.
Ordering and pricing information for the 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
Dodge//SRT
For more than 100 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Their influence continues today as Dodge shifts into high gear with muscle cars and SUVs that deliver unrivaled performance in each of the segments where they compete.
Dodge drives forward as a pure performance brand, offering SRT versions of every model across the lineup. For the 2022 model year, Dodge delivers the drag-strip dominating 807-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, the 797-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Redeye, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and the Dodge Durango SRT 392, America's fastest, most powerful and most capable three-row SUV. Combined, these three muscle cars make Dodge the industry's most powerful brand, offering more horsepower than any other American brand across its entire lineup.
In 2020, Dodge was named the "#1 Brand in Initial Quality," making it the first domestic brand ever to rank No. 1 in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS). In 2021, the Dodge brand ranked No. 1 in the J.D. Power APEAL Study (mass market), making it the only domestic brand ever to do so two years in a row.

They call Montana the Big Sky State for a reason, and it lived up to that moniker over the weekend.
Thunderstorms late on Friday night lit up the sky and ultimately started several new wildfires this weekend.
While thunderstorms produced lightning, a tremendously detailed and shaped storm rumbled across the Helena area on Saturday morning.
A big thanks to all of our viewers that sent in pictures and videos. It seemed like across the state the sky was a feast for the eyes throughout the weekend. | https://www.ktvh.com/news/weather-wise/weather-wise-an-active-big-sky | 2022-08-15T23:30:02Z | https://www.ktvh.com/news/weather-wise/weather-wise-an-active-big-sky | true | null |

SYDNEY--Tassal Group Ltd. has agreed to be bought by Canada's Cooke Inc. in a takeover that values the Australian salmon producer at about 1.1 billion Australian dollars (US$772.4 million).
Tassal on Tuesday said that its board unanimously recommended Cooke's all-cash offer of A$5.23 a share. Tassal previously rebuffed a A$4.85 indicative proposal from Cooke, which had already proposed A$4.67 a share and then A$4.80 a share.
The offer price assumes Tassal will not declare a final dividend.
Tassal plans a shareholder vote in November and expects completion by the end of 2022.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
It was 75 years ago tomorrow that British colonial India was partitioned to create two independent states - one majority Muslim, the other majority Hindu. That triggered one of the largest refugee crises in history as millions of Muslims moved to Pakistan, while millions of Hindus moved to India. It was a chaotic, violent and profoundly traumatic experience for many. Today, relations between the two countries remain tense, and travel between them is difficult. But the grandson of a man born in Pakistan and raised in India found a way to take his grandfather back to his birthplace virtually. NPR's Lauren Frayer has that story from New Delhi.
ISHAR DAS ARORA: School ka (ph) certificate.
LAUREN FRAYER, BYLINE: Does it have a date? 1947?
An elementary school certificate from the 1940s is all that Ishar Das Arora has left from his hometown in what is now Pakistan. He's from a Hindu family. They were minorities in a Muslim area. And at the time of Partition in 1947, they came under attack. They decided to flee to Hindu-majority India, and they left with only what they could carry, he recalls.
ARORA: (Speaking Hindi).
FRAYER: "As we fled, I saw our village go up in flames. All the Hindu houses were set on fire," he says.
ARORA: (Speaking Hindi).
FRAYER: They hid in a cattle shed. Ishar was 8 years old. He remembers his father had a cough, and they worried it would give away their hiding place. But a kind Muslim neighbor, the village chief, protected them.
ARORA: (Speaking Hindi).
FRAYER: "He sat atop the roof to fend off mobs of attackers," Ishar explains. They survived the night and, the next day, crossed into India. That was the last Ishar saw of his hometown, called Bela, a village surrounded by green hills.
ARORA: (Speaking Hindi).
FRAYER: "We used to stand on a hill and shout," he says, "and the last word would echo back." That was 75 years ago. Ishar never returned to Pakistan - he couldn't. The two countries are still on a war footing. His family spent time in a refugee camp and later moved to Delhi. Ishar became a civil engineer. He got married, had children and then grandchildren.
SPARSH AHUJA: We actually went to a wedding in Amritsar, and that's when he started talking that there was a camp here.
FRAYER: That's Ishar's grandson, Sparsh Ahuja. He recalls how, a few years ago, they went to a family wedding near the Pakistan border, and his grandfather suddenly opened up and started talking about this beautiful village called Bela. Sparsh, the grandson, had been studying in the U.K., where he met Saadia Gardezi, a Pakistani, and they got to talking.
SAADIA GARDEZI: It's difficult, for example, for me to visit India. It's hard for them to visit Pakistan. So how can we collaborate to kind of show former refugees their ancestral homes again.
FRAYER: Together, with a third friend, Sparsh and Saadia launched a virtual reality project. One of them would go to Pakistan, the other would go to India, and they'd make 3D films for elderly survivors of Partition and for the public.
GARDEZI: When you've grown up in India or Pakistan, you have a very one-sided official history. And projects like ours basically help fill the gaps. And we often joke that, you know, if you put together the national curriculums of India and Pakistan, maybe we can have kind of a story of what actually happened and what our actual histories are.
FRAYER: So they applied for grant money, got sensitivity training to deal with trauma survivors and pulled out a map of the subcontinent.
AHUJA: All I knew was, like, Bela, Jhand...
FRAYER: Sparsh was able to visit his ancestral village himself because he has an Australian passport. He brought a video camera and a handwritten map from his grandfather.
AHUJA: He had, like, drawn a little map of the village.
FRAYER: A scribbled map that's a recollection from when he was 8 years old.
AHUJA: Yeah. That's all we had. The village...
FRAYER: You took the piece of paper with you?
AHUJA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
FRAYER: Somehow, he found Bela - just a cluster of mud houses and a mosque. Sparsh wanted to find the family of the village chief, the man who guarded his grandfather atop that roof. So he goes up to a woman in the street.
AHUJA: I've come from India. This is what I'm looking for. And I show her the scribble. And she's like, OK, well, I don't know if it's the same guy, but, like, that's his house over there.
FRAYER: That's his house right there, she says. Sparsh knocks on the door. A man answers. Sparsh tells his story. And the man says, that was my grandfather who saved yours.
AHUJA: And then the whole village suddenly came out from, you know...
FRAYER: He recorded messages from villagers and scenes of what Bela looks like now - the site of old Hindu homes, the school where his grandfather got that certificate.
AHUJA: Then I mentioned the story about the hill that echoed, and his son - so the great-grandson was like, I know where that hill is. Like, we call it the speaking hill. And so they took me to that hill.
FRAYER: He filmed that, too. The result is a 3D video immersion...
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "WOH KAGAZ KI KASHTI")
JAGJIT SINGH: (Singing in non-English language).
FRAYER: ...Into the Pakistani village of Bela, viewed through a virtual reality device.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "WOH KAGHAZ KI KASHTI")
SINGH: (Singing in non-English language).
FRAYER: It's like glasses with a thing on the front, and it's got a strap that goes around your head. And you're about to strap this on your granddad's head?
Allowing 83-year-old Ishar, in his living room in Delhi, to be transported back to his boyhood.
ARORA: Bela village in Jhand.
FRAYER: He's in the world of his village right now...
AHUJA: Yeah.
FRAYER: ...Hearing music and he's seeing...
AHUJA: The music I've edited because this is a very - his song he sings all the time.
FRAYER: And there's some voices now.
AHUJA: The village chief's son, who I recorded.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
FRAYER: When the video ends and Ishar takes off the headset, he says Bela is as beautiful as he remembered.
ARORA: (Speaking Hindi).
FRAYER: "My school is still there," he says, "and the hills where my voice used to echo." Sparsh and Saadia have made dozens of videos like this for survivors and also for the societies they live in because in Sparsh's grandfather's case...
AHUJA: He was attacked by Muslims and also saved by Muslims. That's not something that fits neatly into the boxes of either Indian or Pakistani, like, national history. And so the more of these stories we cover, the more blurred lines that we create.
FRAYER: Blurred lines and borders across this subcontinent. Some of these videos will be on display in museums in India, Pakistan, the U.S. and the U.K. this summer to mark the 75th anniversary of Partition.

BERWICK, Pa.— Pennsylvania state police say a man upset about an argument with his mother drove into a crowd of people at a fundraiser for victims of a recent deadly house fire, killing one person at the event and injuring 17 others, then returned home and beat his mother to death.
Police identified the driver as 24-year-old Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes of Nescopeck, who was arraigned early Sunday on two counts of criminal homicide.
Police allege in a criminal complaint that Sura Reyes said he argued with his mother at their Nescopeck home Saturday evening and while driving through nearby Berwick was "extremely frustrated" and was "tired of fighting with his mother, including about money, and wanted to be done with it."
At the time, police said, a crowd of about 75 people, including adults and small children, had gathered in a blocked-off parking lot in Berwick outside the Intoxicology Department bar, which was holding an all-day fundraising event to benefit victims of the Aug. 5 blaze in Nescopeck that killed seven adults and three children.
Police say Sura Reyes told them he drove past the gathering, then turned around and headed back to the bar "to drive through the crowd of people." Investigators asked how fast he drove into the crowd and Sura Reyes replied "speeding up."
"Video surveillance gathered by the Pennsylvania State Police corroborates Sura Reyes's statement that he sped up into the crowd purposefully," according to the criminal complaint.
Geisinger Medical Center said it received 15 patients after the crash, and five remained in critical condition while three were listed in fair condition, a hospital spokesperson said Sunday morning. Seven patients had been treated at hospitals and released.
Trooper Anthony Petroski III told reporters late Saturday that Sura Reyes was not currently a suspect in the fire — the cause of which remains under investigation.
"This is a complete tragedy in a community where there's already been tragedy," Petroski said.
Shortly after the crash was reported, troopers were called about a man "physically assaulting" a woman less than two miles away in Nescopeck. Troopers arrived to find local police had arrested Sura Reyes and that a woman was dead.
Luzerne County Coroner Francis Hacken confirmed Sunday that the victim, Rosa D. Reyes, 56, of Nescopeck, was the mother of Sura Reyes and had died of multiple traumatic injuries after being hit by a vehicle and assaulted with a hammer.
In the criminal complaint, police say Sura Reyes told investigators he saw his mother in the street upon returning home and hit her with his vehicle, then struck her with a hammer several times.
Sura Reyes was denied bail and remained in Columbia County prison pending an Aug. 29 preliminary hearing. News outlets reported he said "Sorry" in response to reporters' questions as he was taken from the Shickshinny police station. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer to comment on his behalf.
The first funerals for victims of the fire were held Friday, and more were scheduled for Sunday and Monday.
The bar called the events an "absolute tragedy" and said on its Facebook page that they will be closed until further notice and would like privacy "while we grieve and try to process the events that occurred."

EY partners meet at luxury hotel as uncertainty continues over firm split
Question marks for partners on pay as top-level discussions continue
EY UK partners gathered last month at the five-star Royal Lancaster hotel near Hyde Park in west London for a sales pitch from their senior leaders on the firm’s multi-billion dollar break-up.
Security guards were on hand to prevent interlopers attending the top-secret briefing, which EY’s global chair and chief executive Carmine Di Sibio addressed via video link, according to a partner who attended.

HELENA — Professional ballerina Margaret “Maggie” Whyte got her start in Helena Queen City Ballet at just three years old. Now, she finds herself overseas, in Munich, Germany, living out her dream of being a professional ballerina at one of Europe’s most renowned companies, Bayerisches Staatsballett.
“Miss Campbell, the director of Queen City Ballet, found me when I was quite young and thought, Oh, she can take this further. I can push her to become something if she wants that. And at some time, around 10 to 12, I started doing large ballet competitions, Youth America Grand Prix. And I was winning scholarships and positions in summer programs. And that's I think, when it started to click for me that I could actually do this in the future. And then I realized how much I loved ballet. And from then on, I just couldn't think of a life without ballet,” Whyte said.
Whyte spent nearly every day at Queen City Ballet until she was 18 years old. Then, she was awarded a scholarship to Ballet West in Salt Lake City for two years before sending her audition tape to Munich.
“They invited me to come audition. And after a one and a half hour ballet class, they said we would like to hire you for the following season. Can you start September 1, we really like who you are, we think you'd be a great asset to our company. So for me, I think it was a lot of the right place, right time, a lot of hard work and determination to get there,” she said.
Whyte loves basically every aspect of her job as a professional ballerina.
“I just love being on stage for me. I also love rehearsing in the studio. I like the process of starting somewhere and seeing how it goes until the stage. But there is something that just comes alive inside of me when I get to perform that. It's not like any feeling you can describe,” she said.
Now, she’s back in Helena with her boyfriend, who also dances for Bayerisches Staatsballett. While in town, they’re spending some time teaching at QBC.
“It's very special to me to come back and have this community here and still have Miss Campbell and Miss Gil to support me,” Whyte said.
Whyte is looking forward to spending her next season on a few new works, but also classics such as Cinderella and La Bayadère. | https://www.kxlh.com/sports/small-town-to-the-big-stage-helenas-maggie-whytes-journey-to-becoming-a-professional-ballerina | 2022-08-15T23:54:55Z | https://www.kxlh.com/sports/small-town-to-the-big-stage-helenas-maggie-whytes-journey-to-becoming-a-professional-ballerina | false | 3 |
In the span of five years, 12-year-old Max Glass-Hui has changed schools five times.
Diagnosed with Down syndrome and autism, Max doesn’t have biological speech and communicates using an electronic augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. He also has developmental feeding issues and requires assistance to get the nutrition he needs during the day at school.
Tiffany Glass, Max's mother, said they have never found a classroom that provided the resources her son needs.
“In the past, we’ve often had experiences where he’ll be in a school, we’ll request a reasonable accommodation and the school and/or the district will say no and that triggers a crisis, it forces him to leave the school," she said.
Max has been in and out of the Madison School District since he was 4 years old. He left the district to attend a private school, which was able to provide the services Max needed, but returned to Madison after the private school closed. In Madison, Glass would find a school that offered only some of the services Max needed, requiring her to look for other supports on her own while she worked full-time.
“It’s been extremely difficult for our family, just the daily logistics of trying to access school are very difficult for him, difficult for us,” she said.
The cost of special education climbed to more than $1.5 billion in Wisconsin in the 2020-21 school year, but state reimbursement to cover those costs for that year remained below $500 million, which has left school districts to make up the difference. And with the recent jump in inflation, those costs are expected to soar even higher.
Madison School District officials have pointed to the current staffing shortage, which they say was made worse by a lack of state funding to support the rising cost of special education, as a major hurdle in providing special-education students with the services they need. Officials have also repeatedly pointed to the 0% increase in revenue limits in the state's biennial budget as a main reason they’re unable to hire more staff to support special-needs students, or to pay the current staff higher wages.
Legislative Republicans have repeatedly defended the lack of an increase by noting schools will be getting $2.3 billion in federal COVID relief aid, known as Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief, or ESSER funds. But school officials note that the use of ESSER dollars for ongoing expenses, such as hiring more staff or increasing wages, could create a fiscal cliff in school districts once the one-time money, meant to mitigate pandemic-related learning loss, runs out.
The rate at which special education in Wisconsin’s public schools is funded has been on a steady decline, from 70% in 1973, according to a 2019 report by the Wisconsin Policy Forum, to the current rate of roughly 30%, as costs increase.
“It’s really difficult to keep up with inflation and meet what are extremely reasonable requests when this is what we’re dealing with,” said Melinda Heinritz, president of the Madison Public Schools Foundation.
Initiatives to identify students with learning disabilities at a young age, address those and improve teaching coupled with an increase in the number of students with more complex needs and, now, high inflation, has driven the cost of special education up, according to the Wisconsin Policy Forum.
The Madison School District did not respond to requests for information regarding the number of students on individual education plans (IEPs) during the 2021-22 school year. Nor did officials respond to a request for information regarding the total or per-pupil cost to serve special-education students in the last school year.
Seeking support
Martha Siravo co-founded Madtown Mommas and Disability Advocates in 2019 with a group of mothers who sought additional support for their special-needs students and were tired of the pushback they experienced from the school district.
Siravo, a single mother who has used a wheelchair since 2002, said she would make requests of the district to accommodate her daughter — 10-year-old Jaz Siravo, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy when she was 3 months old — and that her requests were repeatedly denied.
Through her advocacy, Siravo was able to obtain a combination of special-education and general-education classes, as well as occupational, speech and physical therapies for Jaz, as well as small group learning with support from a special-education teacher during general-education classes, prior to the pandemic.
“Special ed isn’t about what we ‘normally’ do, it’s about individualizing it enough for each kid, and that includes Jaz to the highest degree,” Siravo said.
Siravo would like for Jaz’s individualized education plan to include one-on-one assistance, but a lack of staffing in the district has made fulfilling that request difficult.
Missed diagnoses
That lack of staffing has been an issue for other parents too, as well as a hindrance in identifying learning disabilities and getting students placed on IEPs.
Tyeisha, whose last name the Wisconsin State Journal agreed to withhold to protect her daughter’s identity, said her daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy that manifests as silent seizures or staring spells, sleep apnea, anxiety, depression and asthma. She was placed on an IEP in sixth grade, after Tyeisha was told repeatedly for years that her daughter’s low test scores were due to behavioral issues, and that she was staring off into space and not wanting to do the work.
“But all this time, her brain wasn’t triggering," Tyeisha said. "She’s having silent seizures.”
Tyeisha’s daughter, who will be entering eighth grade in the fall, has been on an IEP for a little over a year and it’s helped. But Tyeisha said sometimes there aren’t enough staff in the building to provide her daughter with the services she needs.
For Brett, whose last name the State Journal is also withholding for the same reason, getting his daughter the help she needed to succeed in school was an uphill battle.
His daughter missed most the 2021-22 school year because she was repeatedly suspended, Brett said. School officials, he said, weren't sensitive to her special-education or behavioral needs because she hadn't been placed on an IEP.
In the last month and a half of the 2021-22 school year, through his own advocacy and with Siravo’s support, he was able to get his daughter on an IEP. Once she was placed on the program, she was assigned more support staff to help her focus on school work throughout the school day.
“The IEP came late," he said. "There were no talks about it at the beginning of the school year."
Looking forward
If special-education reimbursement had increased to 50% in the most recent biennium, it would have added $16.1 million to the Madison School District’s budget, Heinritz said. That could have allowed the district to hire more special-education staff and pay them more.
“You’re looking at more people, and you’d have much more support for our students, buildings, and it would contribute to teachers focusing on teaching,” Heinritz said.
Democrat Gov. Tony Evers proposed increasing special-education reimbursement to 50% in his draft 2021-23 biennial budget, but the proposal was scrapped by Republicans, although they did bump reimbursement by 2 percentage points to its current rate of roughly 30%.
The shortfall has made recruiting, retaining and training special-education staff difficult, Siravo said.
“I know they want to do better, but they’re still working with a system that’s funded only at a certain degree,” she said of the Madison School District.

Elizabeth Beyer is a digital producer for the Wisconsin State Journal. She joined the team in 2019 and was formerly a data, video and audio reporter at the La Crosse Tribune.
That number is stark in comparison to August 2018, when the district had 30 staff vacancies before the start of the 2018-19 school year, board president Ali Muldrow said.
The effect of a shrinking pool of educators is felt around the county, as districts scramble to become fully staffed before September, regardless of the district’s size.
Some school systems around the country have moved to bolster staffing to minimize disruptions, but many are hoping for the best without doing much else differently compared with last year.
Board members Laura Simkin, Savion Castro, Chris Gomez-Schmidt, Nichelle Nichols and board vice president Maia Pearson voted to approve the 3% increase and board member Nicki Vander Meulen voted against the increase. Board president Ali Muldrow recused herself from the vote.
Despite the dropoff, building activity is still up more than 50% from pre-pandemic levels.

The fourth-grader, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, needs support as she goes back to full-time, in-person learning for the first time since 2020. That support is hard to find as the Madison School District deals with staffing shortages and funding for special education that advocates say is inadequate.

They prosecute a health company for the death of a patient in Argentina: the doctor was false and the ambulance did not have life support | International | News
The Argentine justice is prosecuting the company Urgency Dom for the death of Víctor Calvo. The 50-year-old man suffered a heart attack in Buenos Aires and, according to his relatives, if he had been treated in time and by trained specialists, death would have been avoided.
Calvo was treated by a fake doctor who belonged to the company Urgency Dom; In addition, the ambulance that belongs to the company circulated without road support.
According to information from local media, the man called an ambulance on the night of December 1, 2021, because he was having a heart attack. A false doctor arrived at the scene who then left without treating him, to avoid being discovered. However, he charged for the consultation.
The first man arrested by the justice system in Argentina was Juan Nicolás Olivares García, who posed as a doctor who belonged to the company Urgency Dom.

who are responsible
According to information from Infobae, the responsibility also fell on the Urgency Dom firm, which not only sent a subject who was not a doctor to Víctor Calvo’s house, but also because the alleged professional moved in an ambulance without a defibrillator in good condition. .
Likewise, Judge Edmundo Rabbione will also prosecute Juan Carlos Gargiulo, as the main person in charge of the firm; and to Daniel Medina, the medical director, as necessary participants in the crimes of “simple homicide with eventual intent through the usurpation of titles and honors” and “forgery of a public instrument.”
“Each one with their contribution has collaborated in an indispensable way so that Olivares García acted in the accredited manner,” the court ruling said.
Likewise, the document maintains that the trust placed in the contracted health service for his medical assistance was sufficient to wait for the arrival of an official doctor, however this did not happen and Calvo died.
death could be prevented
According to information from witnesses, not even an aspirin was given by the false doctor, this would have helped the blood to coagulate better in the midst of his cardiac crisis. “He just told him that there was time and that they go to a clinic to get a checkup. That he could not take them because the ambulance had COVID-19 ”, maintain the relatives. (YO)

-- Paper reports that Gritstone’s tumor-specific, neoantigen vaccination approach drives priming and boosting of tumor-specific T cells, including cytotoxic CD8+ T cells --
-- T cells linked to molecular responses in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and associated with extended overall survival, which has been observed in follow-up to the Phase 1/2 study --
-- GRANITE now in a randomized, controlled Phase 2/3 trial in newly diagnosed metastatic, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) with initial results expected 2H2023 --
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gritstone bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company that aims to develop the world’s most potent vaccines, today announced that interim results from the Phase 1/2 trial of GRANITE, its individualized, vaccine-based immunotherapy candidate for solid tumor cancers, were published today in Nature Medicine. The paper, “ Individualized, heterologous chimpanzee adenovirus and self-amplifying mRNA neoantigen vaccine for advanced metastatic solid tumors: phase 1 trial interim results, ” details results demonstrating that GRANITE generated strong, persistent, and functional tumor-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses that have potential broad applicability across a range of disease settings. The published data were originally presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2021, and acted as the basis for launching two randomized, controlled studies of GRANITE, including a Phase 2/3 trial that has registrational intent (GRANITE-CRC-1L).
“The publication of this study in Nature Medicine emphasizes the importance, novelty and potential clinical value of the GRANITE program, and reinforces our foundational hypothesis that targeting multiple neoantigens based on each individual tumor’s mutations could drive meaningful clinical benefit, including extended overall survival,” said Andrew Allen, M.D., Ph.D., Co-founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Gritstone. “Now we are advancing GRANITE into earlier disease settings, where immune responses are likely stronger, and patients generally have more time for immune destruction of tumors to take effect.”
Since initiation of the Phase 1/2 study, Gritstone has followed study participants and observed increased overall survival (OS) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who demonstrated a molecular response (measured by a reduction in circulating tumor DNA [ctDNA] levels from baseline) versus those who did not. As of May 2022, median OS of this subgroup (treated third-line CRC patients who demonstrated a molecular response) exceeded 18 months with the median not yet reached. This compares to median OS of 7.8 months for patients who did not demonstrate a molecular response, results which are generally consistent with extensive prior data from patients receiving various third-line therapies. Baseline characteristics of these two patient populations are similar. The Phase 1/2 study remains ongoing.
“Personalized neoantigen immunotherapy is a rational approach to treating solid tumor cancers given the abundant evidence that T cells can recognize neoantigens and drive tumor destruction,” said Karin Jooss, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, and Head of R&D. “We have carefully built the GRANITE platform and studied it in a translationally rich clinical program, demonstrating the sequence of desired biological events playing out in advanced cancer patients. Specifically, we showed de novo induction of neoantigen-specific T cells, trafficking of those same T cells to tumors, conversion of cold to hot tumor microenvironments, and key anti-tumor effects such as pseudo-progression, molecular responses, and suggestions of extended overall survival in molecular responders. In a tough tumor type such as metastatic colorectal cancer, these data are sufficiently striking to merit publication in Nature Medicine. We are proud of this accomplishment.”
GRANITE is now being evaluated in two randomized studies in earlier-stage disease; 1) GRANITE-CRC-1L (NCT05141721), a Phase 2/3 trial in newly diagnosed metastatic, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) that has registrational intent. The first patient was treated in this study in July 2022, and initial results from this study are expected in the second half of 2023. 2) GRANITE-ADJUVANT (NCT05456165), a phase 2 study in patients with high-risk stage II/III colon cancer who are ctDNA+ after definitive surgery.
About GRANITE
Gritstone’s neoantigen-based immunotherapies are engineered to elicit a significant T cell response (particularly CD8+ cytotoxic T cells) against mutation-derived tumor-specific neoantigens (TSNA), that Gritstone identifies using its proprietary artificial intelligence platform, EDGE™. GRANITE is an individualized neoantigen-based immunotherapy and uses a priming adenoviral vector (GRT-C901) and self-amplifying mRNA vector (GRT-R902) to deliver personalized immunotherapy containing the relevant neoantigens. GRANITE was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of MSS-CRC.

The Conway Wampus Cats will get back on the field against another opponent tonight when they host Morrilton in a benefit scrimmage game at John McConnell Stadium.
The scrimmage will start at 6 p.m.
The game will consist of a regulation half then the teams will run 10 plays each several times before stopping for the evening.
The teams will do special teams, but it will only be a live ball for the offense.
“I think, at this point, we’ve been practicing here for a while,” Conway coach Keith Fimple said. “When you start looking back, all the way to spring ball, it will be good to get them out there in a game-like atmosphere. There will be a lot of people here for the scrimmage. Just to be able, even as a staff, to be able to work together and get special teams in and off the field … it will be good.
“With the monotony of practice, you get into a game-type situation and see where you’re at.”
Fimple said his team does not have any injuries thus far in fall camp.
“We’re used to having a Week 0 game,” Fimple said. “Usually, we scrimmage on Tuesday, then the next Friday we play. We don’t have that option this year. We don’t play until Week 1. Bentonville will already have a game under its belt. We’ll come back and practice after that and work out the kinks we find in the scrimmage. It will be good for us.”
The Wampus Cats open the season Sept. 2 at home against Bentonville. The Tigers play Broken Arrow, Okla., on Aug. 26.
Fimple said there are still some spots open that the scrimmage will help determine playing time.
“In this situation, we’re just looking for everybody to step up,” he said. “We’re going from a practice atmosphere. The way we practice, as fast as we do, even when we are in team situations, we’re looking for conditioning. We’re looking for guys who move around. We’re still evaluating guys at some positions due to the competitive nature the way it stacks up with those guys. Right here is another chance for a guy to take a spot and hold onto that and work from there.”
Other scrimmages
Conway Christian travels to Carlisle tonight to play the Bison. The varsity game starts at 7:30 p.m.
Vilonia plays Bald Knob at home tonight. The game starts at 6 p.m.
Quitman hosts Cedarville at 6 p.m. tonight.

Weisselberg to plead guilty in Trump tax case: report
The Trump Organization’s chief financial officer is coming close to reaching a plea deal in a case investigating whether he funneled off-the-books income to himself and other executives at the company, but the potential deal reportedly does not bring prosecutors any closer to their main target: former President Trump.
The New York Times reported Monday, citing two people with knowledge, that Allen Weisselberg and his lawyers met with a judge and that a hearing is scheduled on Thursday in the case, pointing to a possible agreement being reached by then.
A potential deal might mean Weisselberg faces a far shorter sentence of five months in prison, a person familiar with the matter told the Times.
Prosecutors had hoped that Weisselberg would eventually testify against Trump himself but ultimately refused, despite the potential deal being reached.
Last June, criminal indictments were filed against Weisselberg and the Trump Organization related to charges that the company avoided paying taxes on fringe benefits such as cars, apartments and other bonuses they received through the company.
The case is being investigated by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, who filed 15 criminal charges against Weisselberg and the Trump Organization, including fraud, conspiracy and falsifying business records. If convicted, the executive could face up to 15 years in prison, though various sentencing factors would likely bring that number down, legal experts have said.
The District Attorney’s office did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
The case is separate from a deposition Trump gave last week related to an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) over allegations that the Trump Organization misstated the value of assets and misled lenders and tax authorities.
Trump said he invoked his Fifth Amendment right during the deposition, and his lawyer told the Times afterward that the only question he answered was about his name.
His Mar-a-Lago estate was also searched by the FBI one week ago, in an unprecedented operation in which authorities seized documents, a portion of which were marked classified at the highest levels.
An unsealed search warrant made public Friday revealed that federal law enforcement officials suspect Trump violated the Espionage Act and other laws.

With as many pictures as we snap on our smartphone cameras, it's easy to get a little overwhelmed. Pixel users (as well as everyone else who prefers using Google Photos) can hide images from their photo gallery’s primary view using the Archive option. At least, that's the way things have worked, but perhaps in an effort to make its app a little more modern sounding, Google is in the process of renaming Archive to Hidden.
On email accounts, we use the Archive option to save messages for reference later, immediately hiding selected threads from our inbox. The Archive setting works similarly on Google Photos: you can select several photos at a time and hit the Archive option to hide them from the primary gallery view. These images can still be found in albums and search results.
Google is renaming the Archive function to Hidden, so when you open a photo and swipe up on it, you’ll see the Hide option replace the Move to Archive button. We see the same shift taking place in the Library tab. The change seems to be rolling out to the Photos app on Android, and 9to5Google reports the change is also visible on the iOS app as of version 6.1. What we haven't seen yet are any of these changes appearing in the Photos web client.
Importantly, Google hasn’t broken anything about how the Archive function works, and this is a change in name only. Since the files remain searchable, we don’t suggest you avoid hiding sensitive data using this method, and suggest a Google Photos Locked Folder, instead. Besides this subtle update in terminology, the Photos app on Android also now shows the "Backed up" section we saw on iOS, detailing a file’s directory location in the phone’s storage alongside its size and backup quality.

Jim and Lynn Moore (speaking, and foreground left, respectively) were guest speakers on Tuesday evening for the Clinton Rotary Club No. 6144 of District 7730. They shared information on the Moore Family Home Place, which traces roots to 1898 and is being changed by N.C. Department of Transportation construction on U.S. 421. Jim told Rotarians it’s the second time road changes have impacted the family farm. Jim says as he turns 60 next month, the changes to the family farm because of the highway will lead him to get out of farming. He’s had a distinguished career selling equipment, including with each company known by its color, he says with a laugh. He’ll be with Bobcat. Lynn is with NCWorks.

'A lightning strike from Connor Bedard!': Canada takes 3-0 lead over Finland
So far, so good for Team Canada.
Goals from Brennan Othmann, Tyson Foerster, Connor Bedard, Ridly Greig and Mason McTavish have Canada out to a 5-1 lead against Finland as the two teams battle for first place in Group A at the World Juniors.
Canada opened the game with three consecutive goals but a late marker from Finland's Matias Rajaniemi gave the Finns some momentum headed into the break. But Canada was quick to answer as Greig pounced on a rebound and beat Finland goaltender Leevi Merilainen to give the hosts their fourth of the game.
On the power play later in the period, McTavish wired one home to give him his second point of the night and extend his tournament-leading total to 12.
Canada outshot Finland 30-15 through two periods while Canadian goaltender Dylan Garland has stopped 14 of 15 shots he's faced.
Canada opened the tournament with a 5-2 victory over Latvia and followed that up with an 11-1 drubbing of Slovakia a day later. Canada faced off against Czechia over the weekend and trailed 1-0 in the first peroid but rallied for five consecutive goals en route to a 5-1 victory.
Finland opened with a 6-1 win over Latvia, defeated Czechia 4-3 in a shootout and dispatched of Slovakia 9-3 on Sunday.
The 2022 World Juniors originally began in late December in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alta., but were postponed due to multiple positive COVID-19 cases. | https://www.tsn.ca/world-juniors-canada-leads-finland-after-two-periods-1.1837070 | 2022-08-16T00:36:43Z | https://www.tsn.ca/world-juniors-canada-leads-finland-after-two-periods-1.1837070 | false | 1 |

Former conjoined twins celebrate 21st birthday after being separated in risky operation 20 years ago
Josie Hull and Teresa Cajas, who were conjoined at the head before being separated, turned 21 this year. The twins were born in July 2001 and were separated a year later in 2002 in a risky 23-hour operation. July 2022 marks 20 years since the twins were separated and it was a milestone that many didn't think they would make. Hull and Cajas come from a small village in Guatemala and they made the trip to Los Angeles to undergo the high-risk operation. The separation surgery was conducted at UCLA in 2002, reported KABC. The conjoined twins were joined at the head, a condition that only affects one in every 2.5 million babies. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702829697834/btob-member-peniel-to-undergo-surgery-after-rupturing-his-achilles-tendon | 2022-08-16T00:54:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702829697834/btob-member-peniel-to-undergo-surgery-after-rupturing-his-achilles-tendon | false | 1 |
SYDNEY, Aug 16 ― Australian mining firm BHP revealed today that its profits jumped nearly 40 per cent in the past year despite falling iron ore prices, bolstered by unprecedented demand for coal and copper.
The company recorded US$23.8 billion (RM106.3 billion) in underlying attributable profit after a busy year in which it completed a merger with petroleum giant Woodside.
BHP's stellar results ― which will see shareholders paid a full-year dividend of US$3.25 per share ― outpaced analysts' expectations as many others in the mining sector face tough times.
Rival miner Rio Tinto recently reported that its profits fell sharply in the past year and halved its dividend.
BHP's coal business drove its strong results, with both metallurgical and energy coal prices hitting record levels after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Copper was also a boon to the company's fortunes, despite some recent price drops.
“These strong results were due to safe and reliable operations, project delivery and capital discipline, which allowed us to capture the value of strong commodity prices,” BHP chief executive Mike Henry said.
However, BHP warned conditions may soon cool: “Growth momentum has slowed across many key regions, and caution remains due to geopolitical uncertainty as well as Covid-19.”
It pointed to advanced economies in particular, where many central banks are trying to rein in inflation.
“We expect to see a slowdown in advanced economies as monetary policy tightens, as well as ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and inflationary pressures,” Henry said.
BHP also revealed in its results that the impact of Covid-19 on its operations was US$1.5 billion, largely due to constraints on labour and supply. ― AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/08/16/mining-giant-bhp-records-decade-high-profit-buoyed-by-coal/22996 | 2022-08-16T00:56:27Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/08/16/mining-giant-bhp-records-decade-high-profit-buoyed-by-coal/22996 | false | 4 |

PEARLA - "MING THE CLAM"
NYC folk artist Nicole Rodriguez is releasing her debut album as Pearla, Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming, in October via Spacebomb Records, and the latest single is "Ming The Clam," which she says "is about falling in love, and surrendering to the mystery of it all. I wrote it after a day at Storm King with my partner. I had a really painful and disorienting period, and fell asleep on the grass under a sculpture. The whole day kind of occurred in a haze, and I felt messy and unfurled. It was one of those very vulnerable moments of letting someone care and love you, fully, in all that you are. Ming the clam was the oldest animal to live on Earth. The clam lived for 507 years and then was killed in research. I heard about Ming around this time and it resonated with me, this idea that sometimes, when you poke at something remarkable, looking for answers, you might lose it. I’m learning to let good things be good, and to leave some mysteries unresolved. This song is me allowing myself to revel in the beauty of that."

SOPHIE JAMIESON - "SINK"
London artist Sophie Jamieson has announced her debut album, Choosing, which will be out December 2 via Bella Union. The first single is the spare, beautiful "Sink." Says Sophie: "This song began as a love letter to alcohol, written from the cusp of falling into addiction. I had begun to trust this tool but I could feel it turning on me, like a bad friend. I knew I was close to losing control over it, and realized that I had to choose whether to fall in or not. This song exists at the brink of choice: whether to abandon yourself, or whether to make the colossal effort to rescue yourself. The video, like the song, approaches the edge - the tantalizing mystery and comfort of it, the openness of possibility and also the quiet knowledge of the dead end. The shoreline is that edge: beautiful, eerie, infinite, and empty."

DEER SCOUT - "SUSPENDED IN GAFFA" (KATE BUSH COVER)
Deer Scout released her debut album, Woodpecker, earlier this year, and she's now following it with a new Kate Bush cover. "'Suspended in Gaffa' is my favorite Kate Bush song," she says. "I love the drama and the playfulness of the lyrics, they feel absurd and sincere at the same time. 'I don’t know why I’m crying' has always really gotten to me, and I love that it goes from that to 'It’s a plank in me eye with a camel whose trying to get through it.' I also admire her ownership over the production and arrangement of her songs. The original really feels like one person’s vision, which makes sense because she played piano, strings and produced it herself."

MILES HEWITT - "HEARTFALL"
Singer-songwriter Miles Hewitt will release new album Heartfall on August 26 and today shares its lush title track. "The session when we recorded the song 'Heartfall' was one of the most special experiences of my musical life," Miles says. "Having only ever recorded with friends in their homes or makeshift studios, I had assembled my dream team of session players — many of whom I’d barely spoken to before — at a beautiful studio to begin work on the album; a huge plunge into the unknown. Needless to say, I was terrified — yet as we began running through takes, I discovered I was in my element, asking the drummer and bassist to play a certain part funkier and deciding when we would take breaks. This was during the height of the pandemic, no vaccines yet and it became clear that these intimidating, highly experienced session cats were really just grateful to have a chance to work on something as a group again. After eight or nine takes, we called it a night and I floated home. The following morning, my friend John, who hadn’t been at the first session, came in early with me to listen to the playback from the previous day. Watching his reaction to the first three seconds of the song made me feel sure we had made something beautiful and worthy."

PATRIARCHY - "GOOD BOY"
Patriarchy releases new album The Unself next week and have given a final taste before the whole thing drops. "Good Boy" is slinky, glammy electro that should appeal to fans of Garbage, Goldfrapp and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult.

LOU REED - "MEN OF GOOD FORTUNE" (1965 DEMO)
Light in the Attic has shared a previously unreleased 1965 Lou Reed demo, "Men of Good Fortune," from the upcoming Words & Music, May 1965. It's the same title as a song on Lou Reed's 1973 album Berlin, but not the same song. Archivists Jason Stern and Don Fleming say it was presumably inspired by the same traditional English and Scottish Child Ballads that informed Simon & Garfunkel’s "Scarborough Fair" and Bob Dylan’s "Girl from the North Country."

Eight months ago there was an avalanche of protests against fireworks.
To date the matter is still under “consultation” and we are on the brink of Independence Day. No doubt the Fire One tent will soon be erected on Saddle Road. The serious effects of fireworks on the elderly and our pets have been well documented.
We should not have to reiterate these facts. It is a matter of getting something finalised NOW.

A school administrator with experiences in Oneonta and Norwich will be making a move to Delaware County.
The Margaretville Central School Board of Education appointed Michelle Osterhoudt as its new superintendent at a special meeting of the board on Monday, Aug. 8., according to a media release issued on Aug. 15.
Osterhoudt replaces Dr. Robert Chakar, who had served as the shared superintendent of MCS and Andes Central School.
“We as an entire board are thrilled to have Michelle join us,” Board of Education president Doris Warner said in the release. “We’re looking forward to her enthusiasm and the energy that she’s bringing to our district.”
Osterhoudt will go to Margaretville from the Norwich City School District, where she was the principal at Perry Browne Intermediate School. before that that, she served as the assistant high school principal in the same district, the release said.
“It’s been 23 years and education is my number one love,” Osterhoudt said in the release. She earned a bachelor’s degree at SUNY Oneonta before earning a Master of Education degree and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study from the University of New England.
“I’ve had a breadth of experience with high school, middle school, and elementary school, so a district that gives me the ability to connect K through 12 is ideal. I’m super excited,” she said.
Osterhoudt, who grew up in Jefferson, said the opportunity to work in a K-12 district as well as the ability to be a school leader in the Catskills were what drew her to the position.
“I love the Catskills, I grew up in the Catskills,” she said. “We still have our family farm in Jefferson — it’s not a working farm now, but it was when my great-grandparents purchased it in 1934. Plus, that small-town vibe. Knowing what it’s like to come up in a K-12 school, getting to know people and getting to know the school community. That was a draw for me. My goal is to really get to know the community, get to know the people, and get to know the kids.”
Osterhoudt served as a council member for the 4th Ward in Oneonta and as the vice president and education chair of the Oneonta NAACP chapter. before becoming a council member, she served on the city’s human rights commission. Osterhoudt also writes a monthly column for The Daily Star.
“I love bringing people together from diverse backgrounds and discovering that while we have differences, we have so much in common as well,” she said. “I try to look at things from many angles and open that door to communication and civil discourse.”
The search process began in April, after the board of education opted not to renew its shared superintendent agreement with the Andes Central School District.
“We created a process, we worked the process, and we had input from a variety of stakeholders from students who ran the stakeholder interviews to staff and teachers and community members,” Warner said. “We believe that through that process we truly found the best candidate for our district.”
Osterhoudt identified some of her top initial priorities as “a lot of listening and learning.”

Until things became serious as a fan noticed that Affleck had started wearing the chain-bands watch given to him by Lopez while they were still together in the early 2000s.
Confirming the rumours, Lopez fanned the flames as she revealed in her birthday post last year that Bennifer was in fact back together.

SYDNEY (Reuters) -Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday defended taking on extra ministerial roles without his cabinet's knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying it was "an unprecedented time" and that the powers served as a safeguard.
Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Morrison had sought to centralise power and that he is seeking legal advice from the Solicitor-General, Australia's second law officer, on the arrangements.
Morrison's actions to make himself health, finance and resources minister between 2020 and 2021 have also drawn criticism from his Liberal party's coalition partner, the National party, and former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, as undermining Westminster parliamentary traditions.
Morrison, who lost office in a national election in May, said in a radio interview on Tuesday he didn't make the arrangements public because they were a safeguard only and the ministerial powers for health and finance were not triggered.
"We had to take some extraordinary measures to put safeguards in place," he told radio station 2GB, likening it to having two keys on a nuclear submarine.
Morrison said it was an "oversight" and "regrettable" that the finance minister was not informed his role had been duplicated.
The resources minister role he took on in 2021 was different, he said, because he had used the power to stop approval for a gas drilling project off the coast of Australia which was opposed by local communities.
"I sought to be the decision maker on that one because of its importance," he said.
Albanese said it was concerning that two people had responsibility for the resources portfolio and had different positions on matters.
"We don't have a one-person band here. What we have is a Government that has inbuilt checks and balances. And that's why this is such a breach of convention," Albanese told ABC radio on Tuesday.
Not tabling in parliament who was responsible for ministerial portfolios was "a very clear breach of the obligations that the Prime Minister has to the Parliament", he added.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WHNT) — Alabama Democrats have new leadership for the first time in four years.
At the party’s meeting on Saturday, Huntsville pastor Randy Kelley was elected from a field of three candidates as the new Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party. He bested the president of the Alabama Young Democrats, Josh Coleman, and former congressional candidate, Tabitha Isner.
Kelley received 104 votes, enough to win without a runoff. Coleman earned 56 votes and Isner got 42 votes. State Rep. Chris England (D-Tuscaloosa) did not seek another term.
“Without a doubt, this is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon me or any other Democrat,” Kelley said in a statement on Monday.
Alabama Democrats have proven to be a divided party over the last decade.
Coleman, the LGBTQ+ liaison for Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and President of the Alabama Young Democrats, said he was backed by both his boss Woodfin and 2020 U.S. Senate nominee Will Boyd, as well as Huntsville City Councilman Devyn Keith.
Kelley’s other challenger, Tabitha Isner, was elected vice chair.
As previously reported, the 2019 election that saw England and former state Rep. Patricia Todd (D-Birmingham) sworn in as party leaders was contentious. Ahead of that vote, state Democrats voted to remove Nancy Worley and Kelley, who was serving as vice-chair at the time, from leadership.
Worley, who passed away last December, attempted to block the meeting from happening.
“Being chair of the party is something I looked forward to a few years ago,” Kelley said. “However, circumstances intervened and caused be to have some doubt. My ascension to this position is the culmination of a long struggle to give the people of Alabama an effective voice in national and state politics.”
At the 2019 meeting, the state Democratic Executive Committee also elected members to new minority caucuses, including groups for those 35 and under, Hispanic voters, LGBTQ+ voters, and Native Americans.
“The party has a lot of hard work to do, so it’s going to require collaboration like we’ve never seen before,” Isner wrote on Twitter. “There’s no better way to build trust than to work together on a shared goal.”
Kelley said there are challenges ahead for Alabama Democrats and unity must come first.
“The first thing we must do is unite the party, where possible, and recognize that there will always be honest disagreements,” he explained. “This party must extend a hand to everyone because this party must be loyal to the people of Alabama.”
Kelley, the pastor of Huntsville’s Lakeside United Methodist Church, laid out an agenda for the party moving forward. He listed issues like Social Security, public education, and supporting the right to vote.
“This party must look to the future and work for the betterment of the people of Alabama,” Kelley stated.

Since playing a major role in Darren Bailey’s primary campaign ads, GOP Lieutenant Governor candidate Stephanie Trussell has kept a low profile in recent months. She’s well known in conservative circles as a provocative radio host not at all shy about expressing her beliefs.
GOP candidate for governor Darren Bailey has come under fire for his social media posts including these comments from 2017. Bailey is not alone in using social media to share his cultural views – his running mate, Lt. Governor candidate Stephanie Trussell, also posts on Facebook and Twitter.
“Stick your finger in the lock and your DNA will open the appropriate door,” she tweeted in 2017. “We are not interchangeable. Do you think ‘Bruce,’ referring to Kaitlyn Jenner, has true joy?”
Trussell has used Facebook posts to mock Planned Parenthood.
“President Obama became the first sitting president ever to address Klanned Parenthood,” she posted.
The candidate also has a series of posts about gays and lesbians.
“Just say no! The LGBTQXYZ agenda is aggressively trying to repurpose classic stories and films. How can a godmother be genderless? Satan is a liar!” Trussell posted in 2020 about actor Billy Porter playing a genderless fairy godmother.
Trussell is sharply critical of politicians that back the “gay agenda.”
“Since Bill Clinton was called the first black president can we call Barack Obama the first gay president?” she tweeted in 2015.
Political analyst Paul Lisnek says answering questions about social media posts is the last thing Bailey and Trussell want to be focused on as they ramp up for the general election.
“Crime is skyrocketing and jobs and families are fleeing under JB Pritzker’s watch. But his campaign and the media are making a big election about old social media posts. Darren Bailey and I are focused on making Illinois safer and more affordable for every Illinoisan,” she said in a statement to WGN News. | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/klanned-parenthood-baileys-running-mates-old-social-media-posts-surface/ | 2022-08-16T01:42:30Z | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/klanned-parenthood-baileys-running-mates-old-social-media-posts-surface/ | false | 5 |

With the nature of the offence requiring the advice of the office of the Attorney-General, the prosecution informed the court that, they are still awaiting AG’s office advice.
The AG’s advice on the docket will determine how the case will progress.
Oppong Kyekyeku who was on August 10, 2022 granted bail by the Accra High Court in the sum of GHc500k with two sureties to be justified was present in court.
In court on Monday, August 15, 2022, the District Court (Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit) presided over by Her Worship Ama Adomako Kwakye adjourned the case to September 12, 2022.
Oppong, a machine operator, 47, was arrested on June 3 after he was exposed by the spiritualist whom he had visited to kill his 11-year-olf daughter.
The accused is on a provisional charge of Preparation to commit crime to wit; murder and his plea has been reserved.
On July 18, 2022, the prosecution told the court that, the duplicate case docket has been forwarded to the AG’s office.
Brief facts
The brief facts of the case presented to the court by Chief Inspector Amoah were that, the Suspect Evans Kyekyeku Oppong aged 47 years is the father of victim (name withheld)aged 11 years.
He said, the suspect has been living in Holland for many years but relocated to Ghana a year ago.
The prosecutor told the court that, in May, 2022, the suspect discussed with a friend known as Kwame that he was facing financial difficulties.

There Are ‘No Real Consequences’ for Toxic Emissions Events
In some cases, these “chemical releases” aren’t illegal. In others, state regulators give polluters the benefit of the doubt.
This piece is being published in collaboration with Public Health Watch.
On July 26, black clouds rose from flares at a Chevron Phillips chemical plant in Baytown, Texas, after a power outage hit the plant and the surrounding area.
The company estimated in a preliminary report to the state that it released thousands of pounds of chemicals during the hours-long incident, including 17,500 pounds of carbon monoxide and 980 pounds and 280 pounds, respectively, of the carcinogens benzene and 1,3-butadiene.
It was one of 108 unplanned chemical releases, known as emissions events, the facility has reported since September 2015, records show. But only 11 of those leaks have been deemed illegal and resulted in penalties from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, or TCEQ.
Put another way, about 90 percent of the plant’s accidental releases have gone unpunished.
Chevron Phillips, it seems, has gotten off easy. But it’s not that simple.
Releases like Chevron Phillips’ may be smelly, unsightly and even terrifying, but not all exceed permitted limits and are illegal. It’s hard to know for sure because TCEQ data can be difficult to navigate. And in Texas, even polluters that break the rules often get the benefit of the doubt.
The TCEQ’s most recent enforcement report shows that Texas had 3,032 emissions events that unleashed a collective 39.4 million pounds of chemicals in fiscal year 2021, which ran from September 2020 through August 2021. TCEQ Executive Director Toby Baker concluded that only 23 of those releases were “excessive” and worthy of enforcement. (Fiscal year 2021 saw a relatively low number of events due to the pandemic-related economic slowdown; the year before there were 4,257.)
The TCEQ determines if an event is excessive based on the cause, the frequency of unplanned releases at a facility, the potential impacts on public health and other factors.
Nikos Zirogiannis, a professor of environmental economics at Indiana University, has studied and written about emissions events in Texas for years. In a paper last year, he estimated that unpermitted releases cause an average of 35 deaths per year among elderly Texans. These deaths cost the state more than $300 million per year, he calculated.
Zirogiannis has found that, on average, 3,605 emissions events each year exceed permitted limits and are illegal. And yet the TCEQ issued only 462 penalties for illegal releases from September 2015 to June 2022, according to a Public Health Watch analysis of agency enforcement records.That means only a small fraction of the events Zirogiannis believes to be illegal result in fines. It’s hard to come up with a precise number because of the lag time – sometimes years – associated with penalties.
Another complicating factor: The so-called affirmative defense, put in place by the TCEQ in 2003. The rule allows the agency to waive penalties for emissions events that are “unplanned, unavoidable and properly reported,” the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission reported in May, and is supposed to be “a narrowly defined and tailored tool that incentivizes voluntary, proactive compliance.” In fact, it’s been overused: During the last five years, the commission found, TCEQ investigators decided the defense was valid for more than 85 percent of unauthorized emissions events.
A spokesperson for the TCEQ said the affirmative defense “only applies to a narrow subset of events” and is used by the agency to “more efficiently direct its investigation and enforcement resources.”
“The agency is taking steps to promote consistency in the review of emissions events, including updating the emissions event investigator guidance, conducting outreach directly to companies through industry groups and events, and implementing more standard processes,” the spokesperson wrote in an email.
Harris County, which includes part of Baytown, had 225 emissions events in 2018. As of June 2022, the TCEQ had issued fines for only 27 — or 12 percent — of those events. Last year, the county had 204 unplanned releases; it’s too soon to know how many will result in penalties.
LaToya Washington, who lives in Baytown and teaches environmental science in nearby Galena Park, said the walls of her home sometimes shake from accidents at facilities five miles away.
“You kind of have this panic, like, ‘Oh, God, what’s what’s going on? Is it serious?’” she said. “Then you’re like, ‘OK, well, I hope there’s not going to be a shelter-in-place,’ or, ‘Do I need to turn my AC off?’”
A Chevron Phillips spokesperson said the company’s release in July caused no injuries, and air monitoring by Harris County Pollution Control Services showed the surrounding community was not affected.
“The safety of our personnel and neighboring communities is a core value of our company, and we remain committed to responsible environmental management,” the spokesperson wrote in an email.
Not all of the emissions events in the TCEQ’s database are illegal. Facilities must report chemical leaks to the TCEQ within 24 hours of an incident, but the final report, due two weeks later, may show the plant never discharged more than its air permit allows. It’s a recipe for confusion: To determine if a release may merit a fine, one first has to look up the amount of a particular chemical a plant is legally allowed to release on an hourly basis. If any of these limits was exceeded during the event, there was a violation.
The sheer quantity of events at a plant also may not be meaningful. “The fact that some facility has a large number of events doesn’t necessarily mean those are events of substantial magnitude,” Zirogiannis said
Zirogiannis said the TCEQ has the most comprehensive air-pollution data of any state, but it’s not easy to use or understand.
”Not everybody has the time to go into the air emissions events website of the TCEQ and look what happened in a given day,” he said.
Zirogiannis said he worries that TCEQ’s penalties aren’t stiff enough to deter polluters. Public Health Watch found that the median TCEQ fine for an air-pollution violation between September 2015 and June 2022 was $7,500. After discounts for complying with the terms of the enforcement agreement, the median amount companies actually paid was $6,000.
“The question I always ask myself is, ‘Is the number big enough to make a dent?’ It is not clear to me that this is the case,” Zirogiannis said.
He pointed to a recent study that helps put TCEQ enforcement policies in context.
In a 2020 paper, two researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, noted that companies in the Houston area sometimes buy “offset credits” to increase emissions. Such credits can be sold by lower-emitting facilities to new or expanding plants. The researchers found that credits for nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds, including benzene and 1,3-butadiene, fluctuated between $5,000 and $25,000 per ton.
“If the median penalty is below that, that might suggest that polluters might have a preference for paying the [fine] rather than purchasing offset credits,” Zirogiannis said.
In short, it can be cheaper for a company to pollute illegally than to increase emissions legally.
“If there are no consequences, no real consequences, then … it doesn’t doesn’t hurt them to keep doing it, to keep releasing,” Washington said. | https://www.texasobserver.org/emissions-events-chemical-release-tceq/ | 2022-08-16T02:01:02Z | https://www.texasobserver.org/emissions-events-chemical-release-tceq/ | true | 8 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anne Heche, the Emmy-winning film and television actor whose dramatic Hollywood rise in the 1990s and accomplished career contrasted with personal chapters of turmoil, died of injuries from a fiery car crash. She was 53.
Heche was “peacefully taken off life support,” spokeswoman Holly Baird said in a statement Sunday night.
Heche had been on life support at a Los Angeles burn center after suffering a “severe anoxic brain injury,” caused by a lack of oxygen, when her car crashed into a home Aug. 5, according to a statement released Thursday by a representative on behalf of her family and friends.
She was declared brain-dead Friday, but was kept on life support in case her organs could be donated, an assessment that took nine days. In the U.S., most organ transplants are done after such a determination.
A native of Ohio whose family moved around the country, Heche endured an abusive and tragic childhood, one that helped push her into acting as a way of escaping her own life. She showed enough early promise to be offered professional work in high school and first came to prominence on the NBC soap opera “Another World” from 1987 to 1991, winning a Daytime Emmy Award for the role of twins Marley and Vicky Hudson, who on the show sustained injuries that anticipated Heche’s: Vicky falls into a coma for months after a car crash.
By the late 1990s Heche was one of the hottest actors in Hollywood, a constant on magazine covers and in big-budget films. In 1997 alone, she played opposite Johnny Depp as his wife in “Donnie Brasco” and Tommy Lee Jones in “Volcano” and was part of the ensemble cast in the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
The following year, she starred with Ford in “Six Days, Seven Nights” and appeared with Vince Vaughn and Joaquin Phoenix in “Return to Paradise.” She also played one of cinema’s most famous murder victims, Marion Crane of “Psycho,” in Gus Van Sant’s remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic, and co-starred in the indie favorite “Walking and Talking.”
Around the same time, her personal life led to even greater fame, and both personal and professional upheaval. She met Ellen DeGeneres at a the 1997 Vanity Fair Oscar party, fell in love and began a 3-year relationship that made one of Hollywood’s first openly gay couples. But Heche later said her career was damaged by an industry wary of casting her in leading roles. She would remember advisers opposing her decision to have DeGeneres accompany her to the premiere of “Volcano.”
“We were tapped on the shoulder, put into her limo in the third act and told that we couldn’t have pictures of us taken at the press junket,” Heche said in 2018 on the podcast Irish Goodbye.
After she and DeGeneres parted, Heche had a public breakdown and would speak candidly of her mental health struggles.
Heche’s delicately elfin look belied her strength on screen. When she won the National Board of Review’s 1997 best supporting actress award, the board cited the one-two punch of “Donnie Brasco” and the political satire “Wag the Dog,” in which Heche portrayed a cynical White House aide and held her own against film great Robert De Niro.
Heche also called effectively on her apparent fragility. In 2002 she starred on Broadway in the play “Proof” as a woman fearful of losing her sanity just like her father, a brilliant mathematics professor. An Associated Press review praised her “touching performance, vulnerable yet funny, particularly when Catherine mocks the suspicions about her mental stability.”
In the fall of 2000, soon after her break-up with DeGeneres, Heche was hospitalized after knocking on the door of a stranger in a rural area near Fresno, California. Authorities said she had appeared shaken and disoriented and spoke incoherently to the residents.
In a memoir released the following year, “Call Me Crazy,” Heche talked about her lifelong battles. During a 2001 interview with TV journalist Barbara Walters, Heche recounted in painful detail alleged sexual abuse by her father, Donald Heche, who professed to be devoutly religious and died in 1983 from complications of AIDS. Heche described her suffering as so extreme she developed a separate personality and imagined herself descended from another planet.
In the final days of his life, Heche said, she learned he was secretly gay and that she believed his inability to live honestly fueled his anger and hurtful behavior. Not long after her father died, her brother Nathan — one of her four siblings — was killed in a car crash.
“I’m not crazy. But it’s a crazy life. I was raised in a crazy family and it took 31 years to get the crazy out of me,” Heche told Walters. In an effort to escape the past, “I drank. I smoked. I did drugs. I had sex with people. I did anything I could to get the shame out of my life.”
Heche dated Steve Martin in the 1990s, and is widely believed to have inspired the childlike, but ambitious aspiring actor played by Heather Graham in his Hollywood spoof “Bowfinger.” She later had a son with camera operator Coleman Laffoon, to whom she was married from 2001 to 2009. She had another son during a relationship with actor James Tupper, her co-star on the TV series “Men In Trees.”
Heche worked consistently in smaller films, on Broadway and on TV shows in the past two decades. She recently had recurring roles on the network series “Chicago P.D.” and “All Rise,” and in 2020 was a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars.” | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/ap-top-headlines/anne-heche-star-with-troubled-life-dies-of-crash-injuries/ | 2022-08-16T02:03:39Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/ap-top-headlines/anne-heche-star-with-troubled-life-dies-of-crash-injuries/ | true | 41 |
The ESPN staff recently released its 2022-23 season award projections.
Votes were tallied with a first-place vote worth five points, a second-place vote worth three points and a third-place vote worth one point.
The Oklahoma City Thunder had two players receive votes for awards.
Chet Holmgren was ranked second in Rookie of the Year voting at 43 points, 17 points behind first-place Paolo Banchero.
Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was tied for ninth for Most Improved Player at six points. Anthony Edwards led the way in this category with 32 points.
This sounds about right. It’s hard to project a member of the Thunder winning any of the major awards such as MVP, Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year. | https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/2022/08/15/two-thunder-players-received-votes-for-nba-awards-in-espn-2022-23-projections/ | 2022-08-16T02:04:22Z | https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/2022/08/15/two-thunder-players-received-votes-for-nba-awards-in-espn-2022-23-projections/ | false | null |

‘Jeopardy!’: Mayim Bialik Shares Major Hosting Update in New Post
Jeopardy! producers have already revealed their plans for the hosting dilemma when season 39 premieres next month, so what other news could the game show’s cohost Mayim Bialik have for us? Well, in addition to sharing hosting duties with Jeopardy!’s Greatest of All Time champion Ken Jennings, Bialik is also officially set to host ABC’s upcoming game show spinoff Celebrity Jeopardy! and the Big Bang Theory alum took to Instagram to make the announcement. Check it out.
The Jeopardy! original game show is set to kick off its newest season on Monday, September 12th with Ken Jennings at the helm until January. From there, Mayim Bialik will take over. However, per her newest post, which sees the cheery Jeopardy! host in a striped blue and white tee and big-framed glasses, Celebrity Jeopardy! kicks off later in the month, with the season premiere debuting on September 25th.
“Have you heard the news?” Bialik enthusiastically asked followers. “I’m the host of a new show coming to ABC—Celebrity Jeopardy!”
In her brief clip, the Jeopardy! newbie promises big names and “even bigger brains” when the brand new series premieres.
Following her post, fans, many of which have been displeased by the game show’s decision to keep both Bialik and Jennings, had nothing but positive things to say about the actress’s newest gig.
“Love you as [Jeopardy!] host and actress!!” one fan gushed. “Basically love all the amazing work you have done! Lol!”
Others were more specifically excited to see Jeopardy!“s producers capitalizing on the advantage they now have in employing two cohosts rather than one main cost as it had for so long.
“I’m so glad that the fabulous people at Jeopardy [are] reinventing themselves to even more fun programs!” one fan shared. To Bialik specifically, they added, “Love you being the host! So glad everything is working out for everyone!”
‘Jeopardy!’ Making Yet Another Significant Change Ahead of Brand New Season
It seems that since longtime host Alex Trebek passed away in November 2020, the game show has done nothing but change. That came most notably with its host, however, than have been a multitude of adjustments both in front of the screen and behind. Behind the scenes, Jeopardy! has officially welcomed back its live audience for the new season, which has since thrown off our current host Ken Jennings.
In addition, the game show also appeared to get rid of its Clue Crew, a team of individuals originally employed by Trebek himself. Most recently though, Jeopardy! is aiming to set a five-minute time limit on Final Jeopardy! wagers. Fans shared their thoughts online.
“Five minutes really sounds like ample time to make a wager,” one Jeopardy! fan observed. Another more pointedly said, “If you can’t make a wager in five minutes, you probably don’t deserve to win.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2703544802563/jeopardy-mayim-bialik-shares-major-hosting-update-in-new-post | 2022-08-16T02:11:37Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2703544802563/jeopardy-mayim-bialik-shares-major-hosting-update-in-new-post | false | 2 |
Kraft Heinz announced the voluntary recall of 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend pouches on Monday.
Only those flavored Capri Sun products with June 25, 2023 "Best When Used By" date are being recalled, the company said.
The company says diluted cleaning solution, used to clean food processing equipment in its factories, was "inadvertently introduced" into a production line, contaminating the drinks.
Kraft Heinz said it became aware of the problem only after consumers reported problems with the taste of the affected juices.
The company said it "is actively working with retail partners and distributors to remove potentially impacted product from circulation."
Anyone who bought these beverages is urged not to drink the product and can return it to the store where it was purchased.

‘The Bachelorette’ 2022: How Far Does Nate Get With Gabby?
ABC’s The Bachelorette Season 19 continues to surprise fans. This historic season features Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia at the helm, hoping to find love. Gabby and Nate Mitchell hit it off early on in the season, though new developments from past girlfriends have tainted the public’s image of Nate. So, how far does Nate get on The Bachelorette Season 19? Here’s what we know.
[Spoiler alert: The Bachelorette Season 19 spoilers ahead regarding Nate Mitchell.]
How far does Nate Mitchell go in ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 19?
Nate Mitchell and Gabby Windey have second one-on-one in The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 6. The episode airing on Aug. 15, 2022, features the women and the contestants in The Netherlands, and an exclusive clip shared on Reddit shows Gabby talking about bringing Nate on another date.
“You think love’s in the air for you?” host Jesse Palmer asks Gabby.
“I think so — I think a little too much,” Gabby responds. “I just have a big day with Nate, and I think our connection is kind of palpable.”
“Nate does have a daughter, so I have to think about both of them when I’m making decisions,” she tells the camera. “I take the potential of being a mom so seriously. Knowing that he’s a dad, that makes me love him even more.”
Unfortunately, Reality Steve’s spoilers note Nate goes home during the one-on-one. “Nate gets sent home on his one-on-one next week, and that leaves Spencer and Logan. Neither of them gets a hometown,” the spoiler guru reports.
As for why Nate gets sent home, it seems Gabby’s unsure of becoming a mother. This uncertainty likely leads her to sacrifice their relationship in episode 6.
Does Nate join the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 8 cast?
With Nate Mitchell out of the competition on The Bachelorette Season 19 Episode 6, will fans see him join the Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 cast?
According to spoilers posted to Reddit, Hayden Markowitz, Jacob Rapini, Joey and Justin Young, Johnny DePhillipo, Logan Palmer, and Tyler Norris joined the cast. This means Nate doesn’t head to the beach to find love despite him potentially being a great candidate for the spinoff.
With that said, The Bachelorette isn’t the last fans will see of Nate. He joins the “Men Tell All” special and enters the hot seat to answer questions about his past relationships.
Could he be the next lead of ‘The Bachelor’?
With Nate Mitchell not heading to Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 after The Bachelorette Season 19, could there be potential for him to return as the lead of the next season of The Bachelor?
Producer Mike Fleiss’s Twitter posts made fans wonder if it’s a possibility. “Don’t jump to conclusions about certain cast members based on mere allegations, as disturbing as they may be,” Fleiss tweeted. “I beg you to wait until all the facts come out before making any judgments.” Right before this tweet, he also tweeted, “OK, so who should we pick as your next #TheBachelor???”
The Bachelorette Season 19 fans have mixed feelings about Nate Mitchell following the recent allegations against him, which could potentially hurt his odds of appearing as The Bachelor. Reality Steve posted photos and screenshots from one of Nate’s ex-girlfriends. The ex, Kelsey, claimed Nate was dating her while also dating another woman. While Kelsey has no ill-will against Nate, she thought it was essential to bring these alleged truths to light.
The Bachelorette Season 19 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on

Supermarkets will not join the conversation with Johan Remkes on Thursday, who mediates for the cabinet about nitrogen policy. Supermarket umbrella organization CBL believes it is especially important that the cabinet and the farmers’ organizations first enter into dialogue with each other in order to find solutions.
Earlier, the supers seemed to be talking to Remkes. Last week, the CBL was still a little concerned, because no official invitation had yet been received. According to a spokeswoman, the latter is still not the case. But that wouldn’t be the reason the supers are letting the talks pass this week.
The spokeswoman indicates that the chain would have been limited represented on Thursday. She also emphasizes that the CBL would like to talk to Remkes and the cabinet again at a later stage. The sector would indeed take its role in the sustainability discussion ‘seriously’.
Target
Earlier this summer, supermarket distribution centers were still the target of farmers’ campaigns. Angry farmers with their tractors prevented trucks from driving in or out, making it difficult to supply stores. The blockades also led to empty shelves at various articles across the country.
Rabobank, ABN AMRO, ING and Triodos said they would be at the meeting with Remkes this week, as did their umbrella organization NVB. A number of industry clubs that represent the business community also sit at the table. Remkes previously led a meeting between ministers and farmers’ organisations.
special
Companies in the food chain, and supermarkets in particular, also play a role in the nitrogen transition, which will hit agriculture especially hard. Against the harsh nitrogen measures, the cabinet wants to come up with a better perspective for farmers who farm more economically and greener. Above all, farmers should receive a fairer price for their products.
“We are initiating the transition to circular agriculture with a good revenue model, so that farmers are enabled and socially appreciated to realize the necessary change, whereby young farmers have a future,” the coalition agreement describes. “We expect a non-binding contribution from banks, suppliers, the processing industry and the retail sector.”
nature crisis
According to mediator Remkes, the conversation with nature organizations about nitrogen policy today was ‘a meaningful exercise’. According to him, the consultation in the provincial government in Den Bosch was intended ‘to get a clearer picture of where all the parties in this debate stand exactly’.
More than a week ago, Remkes spoke with agricultural organizations. Afterwards, Remkes said that there is a crisis of confidence. “What was discussed today was that in the eyes of a large part of the participants in the discussion there is a natural crisis, which must be solved with a sense of urgency,” Remkes said now.
According to him, the participants also emphasized that it is not just about nitrogen, but that there are more problems. “We should not make the mistake in the Netherlands of having farmers make significant investments now to solve the nitrogen problem, if they will be confronted with completely different tasks in about four or five years.”
Attention to own nitrogen plan
In Wednesday’s nitrogen conversation, the construction sector will once again draw attention to the plan that was presented last year together with agricultural and horticultural organization LTO Nederland, among others, to get out of the nitrogen crisis. It states that emissions must be reduced by about 40 percent by 2030, whereas the cabinet is now working with a halving. Furthermore, a spokesperson for Bouwend Nederland does not want to say much about the conversation, which is also being held with other business organizations.
The plan, to which nature organizations and entrepreneurial parties VNO-NCW and MKB-Nederland also contributed, contain proposals for sustainability for the industry, construction and energy sectors, among others. According to the plan, the proposal would cost the government about 1.7 billion euros annually, but then the problems surrounding the granting of building permits and stable adjustments would then be a thing of the past. That would be good for tackling the large housing shortage in the Netherlands, among other things.
The construction sector is feeling the nitrogen problem. The lack of clarity about the amount of nitrogen that can be emitted, for example, leads to delays in tenders for large infrastructure projects. The nitrogen dossier is also one of the reasons why the acceleration of new housing developments is not getting underway.

Former Trump Org. CFO expected to plead guilty in NY tax case
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is expected to plead guilty as soon as Thursday in a tax evasion case that is the only criminal prosecution to arise from a long-running investigation into the former president’s company, three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was scheduled to be tried in October on allegations he took more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the company, including rent, car payments and school tuition.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office and Weisselberg’s lawyers met Monday with the judge overseeing the case, Juan Manuel Merchan, according to court records. The judge then scheduled a hearing in the matter for 9 a.m. Thursday but did not specify the reason.
The people who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. They said the purpose of Thursday’s hearing was for Weisselberg to enter a guilty plea, but cautioned that plea deals sometimes fall apart before they are finalized in court.
Weisselberg’s lawyer, Nicholas Gravante Jr., told The New York Times on Monday that Weisselberg has been engaged in plea negotiations to resolve the case, but did not specify terms of a potential plea deal. Reached by the AP, Gravante declined to comment.
The Times, citing two people with knowledge of the matter, said Weisselberg was expected to receive a five-month jail sentence, which would make him eligible for release after about 100 days. The deal would not require Weisselberg to testify or cooperate in any way with an ongoing criminal investigation into Trump’s business practices.
Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, is also charged in the case but did not appear to be involved in the plea agreement talks. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. A message seeking comment was left with a lawyer for the Trump Organization.
News of Weisselberg’s plea negotiations came days after the judge denied requests by his lawyers and the Trump Organization to throw out the case. The judge did drop one criminal tax fraud count against the company citing the statute of limitations, but more than a dozen other counts remain.
In seeking dismissal of the case, Weisselberg’s lawyers argued prosecutors in the Democrat-led district attorney’s office were punishing him because he wouldn’t offer up damaging information against the former president.
The judge rejected that argument, saying that evidence presented to the grand jury was legally sufficient to support the charges.
Weisselberg, who turned 75 on Monday, is the only Trump executive charged in the yearslong criminal investigation started by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who went to the Supreme Court to secure Trump’s tax records. Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg, is now overseeing the investigation. Several other Trump executives have been granted immunity to testify before a grand jury in the case.
Prosecutors alleged that Weisselberg and the Trump Organization schemed to give off-the-books compensation to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
The most serious charge against Weisselberg, grand larceny, carried a potential penalty of five to 15 years in prison. The tax fraud charges against the company are punishable by a fine of double the amount of unpaid taxes, or $250,000, whichever is larger.
Trump has not been charged in the criminal probe, but prosecutors have noted that he signed some of the checks at the center of the case. Trump, who has decried the New York investigations as a “political witch hunt,” has said his company’s actions were standard practice in the real estate business and in no way a crime.
Last week, Trump sat for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ parallel civil investigation into allegations Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about asset values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
In the months after Weisselberg’s arrest, the criminal probe appeared to be progressing toward a possible criminal indictment of Trump himself, but the investigation slowed, a grand jury was disbanded and a top prosecutor left after Bragg took office in January — although he insists it is continuing.

Liz Cheney: Trump's nemesis faces Republican day of reckoning
Liz Cheney voted to impeach the former president. Now Wyoming Republicans will decide if that makes her a principled politician or a "swamp rat".
The three-term congresswoman is at risk of losing her seat to a challenger from within her own party.
Voters at the Wyoming Junior Rodeo in Casper shared their thoughts in the run-up to the eagerly anticipated showdown. | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-62413111 | 2022-08-16T02:28:38Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-62413111 | true | null |
Kenya’s elections chief declared Deputy President William Ruto the winner of a tight presidential race Monday but some senior election officials disowned the result, fuelling fears of widespread violence like that seen after previous disputed polls.
Hailing the electoral commission as “heroes” after he was declared the winner, Ruto said: “There is no looking back. We are looking to the future. We need all hands on deck to move forward.”
The 55-year-old had made Kenya’s class divisions the centrepiece of his campaign to become Kenya’s fifth president, promising to reward low-income “hustlers.”
He was also scornful of Kenya’s political dynasties — his opponent Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta, son of the nation’s first vice president and president, respectively. Kenyatta, who has served his two-term limit as president, fell out with Ruto after the last election and this time endorsed Odinga, making his fifth attempt at winning the presidency.
Once in office, Ruto will have to confront an economic and social crisis in East Africa’s most advanced economy, where poor Kenyans already reeling from the impact of Covid-19 have been hit by global rises in food and fuel prices.
Chaotic scenes unfolded in several parts of Kenya after the electoral commission announced William Ruto as the winner of the presidential elections in the country https://t.co/KEypqMAfQ8 pic.twitter.com/dzwPkO9QTE

The worst drought for 40 years has devastated the country’s north, leaving 4.1 million people dependent on food aid, while its debt levels have soared.
Ruto, who heads the Kenya Kwanza (Kenya First) Alliance, had appeared to be leading opposition leader Odinga as Kenyans awaited final results of the election held nearly a week ago.
Minutes before the chairman of the electoral commission Wafula Chebukati announced that Ruto had won, his deputy Juliana Cherera had told media at a separate location that she and three other commissioners disowned the results.
“We are not able to take ownership of the results that will be announced, because of the opaque nature of this last phase of the general election,” she said.
The electoral commission has seven commissioners.
History of violence
The electoral commission has introduced many checks and balances to try to prevent disputes like those that led to violence in which more than 1,200 people were killed following the 2007 election. In 2017, more than 100 people were killed after the Supreme Court quashed the initial result over irregularities in the electoral process.
Amid fears that vote-rigging allegations could lead to bloody scenes like those that followed presidential polls in 2007 and 2017, Cherera urged the parties to pursue any disputes through the courts.
Diplomats and international observers were whisked out of the tallying hall before Chebukati spoke, as scuffles broke out.
Before announcing Ruto as the winner, Chebukati said two commissioners and the electoral commission’s chief executive had been injured and were being treated.
Chebukati said Ruto had won 50.49% of the vote, against Odinga’s 48.5%.
The winning candidate must get 50% of votes plus one.
Kenya’s dollar-denominated government bonds fell by as much as 2.9 cents on the dollar, Tradeweb data showed.
The United Nations took note of the results, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said, and encouraged all candidates to “resort to legal channels to address any challenges that may arise.”
The US embassy in Kenya urged all parties to work together to peacefully resolve concerns about the election.
“We ask all political party leaders to continue to urge their supporters to remain peaceful and refrain from violence,” it said in a statement.
‘Not over’
Odinga did not attend the announcement. His running mate, Martha Karua later tweeted: “it is not over until it is over.”
Saitabao Kanchory, national chief agent for Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja (Declaration of Unity) Alliance told reporters outside the tallying centre that it would continue to “hold Wafula Chebukati … to account to the people of Kenya to deliver a free fair credible election.”
In the Kibera slums in Nairobi and Kisumu, both Odinga strongholds, the reaction was immediate.
Several plumes of black smoke rose in the streets of Kibera, mirroring similar scenes in Kisumu, to the west of the country, as people burned piles of tires. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds.
In Kisumu, Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o called for calm as protests in parts of the lakeside town turned violent after Ruto’s victory was declared. He said the Azimio leadership was working to plan its response to “ensure justice” for Odinga.
Amid shouts of “We need Raila now!”, “Chebukati must go!” and “No Raila, no peace!”, motorcycle drivers honked their horns and people blew into vuvuzelas and whistles.
By contrast, the mood in Eldoret — Ruto’s home turf — was ecstatic.

“We are very happy. I believe in the leader who was selected, I believe in the IEBC (the electoral commission),” said 25-year-old Eldoret resident Kenneth Kibitok. “He is about the bottom up. People from down there will be up here,” said Kibitok, who had spent all day on a stretch of Eldoret sidewalk popular with Kenyans who like discussing politics.
