Empire actress Lindsey Pearlman's cause of death revealed: Comes six months after she was found dead in LA's Runyon Canyon Park with suicide notes
- A coroner declared the death a suicide caused by sodium nitrite toxicity
- Lindsey Pearlman, 43, was found dead inside her car on February 18
- She was at Runyon Canyon Park and was allegedly pills strewn in the vehicle
- A suicide note was also found inside her car, as well as inside her home
- She also reportedly called her husband the day before
- The star told him she planned on ending her life, TMZ reported

Actress Lindsey Pearlman was found dead inside her car in Hollywood's Runyon Canyon park on February 18.
Now, almost six months later, a coroner has revealed the late 43-year-old's official cause of death.
According to a report obtained by People, an autopsy showed that Lindsey succumbed to sodium nitrite toxicity, and also had non-toxic levels of lorazepam, metoclopramide, and codeine in her system.
Actress Lindsey Pearlman, 43, was found dead inside her car at Runyon Canyon Park on February 18. She reportedly died of an overdose and left a suicide note in her home and one in her call that directed whoever found her to call 911
The Chicago Justice and General Hospital actress was found dead three days after disappearing.
She left two suicide notes—one in her car and another in her home. The note told whoever found her to call 911, TMZ reported.
The actress, who played Joy Fletcher on Chicago Justice, reportedly called husband Vance Smith a day before the apparent suicide and told him she planned to end her life, TMZ reported. Smith then contacted the police in an effort to find her.
The outlet also reported that she overdosed and that she had suffered from depression for many years. Phone data showed the star called her cousin a half-mile away from where her body was discovered.

'The police found Lindsey,' her husband wrote on social media at the time. 'She's gone. I'm broken.'
Her older sister, Marni, 46, posted a brief statement on Facebook, saying: 'Thank you to everyone who helped spread the news to search for my sister. She’s been found. She is gone. We are broken. Please respect our privacy at this time.'
Her costar from General Hospital, where she played Margaret 'Maggie' McMorris, wrote on Twitter: 'Lindsey Pearlman was terrific on @GeneralHospital and we are saddened to hear of this tragedy. Our hearts go out to her family and friends. #GH.'
Elaine Hendrix, who portrayed Meredith Blake in The Parent Trap, paid tribute to her friend on Twitter: 'Thank you to everyone who shared Lindsey's missing person report. I'm deeply saddened & stunned to share that she was found deceased.'
She was found inside Runyon Canyon Park in Hollywood, a popular hiking destination
Her cousin Savannah Pearlman wrote on Twitter: 'I'm deeply sad to report that they have found Lindsey, and it was too late.
'Lindsey was a fierce animal advocate and a talented actress.'
Friend Cari Meyers wrote on Facebook: 'Shocking news about Lindsay Perlman. We spent many hours protesting pet stores for The Puppy Mill Project together. Funny, gifted, with a huge love and generous heart for all, especially animals. Our hearts go out to Vance, really special guy. A really sad day for us.'
The actress was last seen on February 13 in Hollywood near Franklin Avenue and North Sierra Bonita Avenue, near Runyon Canyon Park.
According to a security guard working on a film in nearby, when police found Pearlman's body, there were pills strewn throughout the inside of the vehicle. She was said to have been wrapped in a blanket. Police have not confirmed this report.
The actress grew up in Chicago and studied comedy at the Second City Conservatory.
After moving to California, she booked a recurring role on NBC's Chicago Justice in 2017 as Joy Fletcher and would also later appear on Sneaky Pete, American Housewife, and Selena: The Series.

(CNN) — Sacheen Littlefeather had only 60 seconds to speak at the 1973 Academy Awards. In her brief speech, she refused the Oscar for best actor on behalf of Marlon Brando, faced a mixture of loud boos and cheers, and defended the rights of Native Americans on national TV.
Almost 50 years later, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is formally apologizing to Littlefeather for the mistreatment she experienced during her speech and in the years to follow.
READ MORE: Musicians cancel performances at upcoming NRA convention“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” former Academy president David Rubin wrote in a letter to Littlefeather. “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.”
Littlefeather will appear at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures next month to discuss her history-making Oscars appearance and the future of Indigenous representation onscreen, the Academy said.
In a statement, Littlefeather called the upcoming event, during which she’ll receive the apology in person, “a dream come true.”
“Regarding the Academy’s apology to me, we Indians are very patient people — it’s only been 50 years!” she said. “We need to keep our sense of humor about this at all times. It’s our method of survival.”
Several Indigenous artists will perform during the event for Littlefeather, including Bird Runningwater, co-chair of the Academy’s Indigenous Alliance, and Virginia Carmelo, a descendent of the Tongva people who will lead a land acknowledgment.
“It is profoundly heartening to see how much has changed since I did not accept the Academy Award 50 years ago,” Littlefeather said.
Her speech earned boos and applause
When Brando won best actor for his starring role in “The Godfather,” he was absent. In his stead, he asked Littlefeather, then an actress and activist, to attend the ceremony — and to refuse the award on his behalf.
READ MORE: Susan Sarandon Facing Backlash Anti-Cop Twitter PostTaking the stage quietly and calmly in a buckskin dress, Littlefeather solemnly introduced herself as an Apache woman and president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee.
“(Brando) very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award, and the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry,” she said to a mix of boos and applause, pausing and appearing visibly upset. “I beg at this time that I have not intruded upon this evening, and that we will, in the future, our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and generosity.”
Brando also refused to accept the award due to the federal response to Wounded Knee, when members of the American Indian Movement occupied the South Dakota town but were met by resistance from federal law enforcement. Littlefeather said she promised Brando that she wouldn’t touch the Oscar statuette, she said.
“I focused in on the mouths and the jaws that were dropping open in the audience, and there were quite a few,” she told the official Academy blog, A.Frame. “But it was like looking into a sea of Clorox, you know, there were very few people of color in the audience.”
She also said that John Wayne, the conservative Western star who once said “Indians were selfishly trying to keep (the US) for themselves,” charged at her to “take (her) off the stage,” though he was restrained by security guards.
After the ceremony, Littlefeather said she was “silenced” and struggled to find work in the film industry. She dedicated much of her career post-Oscars to activism and founding performing arts organizations for Indigenous actors.
Despite the condemnation she received from some in Hollywood who disagreed with her defenses of Native Americans, Littlefeather said she received praise and support from leaders like Coretta Scott King and Cesar Chavez.
“I knew I had done the right thing,” she told A.Frame.

The IPOR Protocol brings transparency and stability to volatile DeFi credit market
ZUG, Switzerland, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IPOR Labs AG, developers of blockchain-based derivatives software, announced today the launch of its IPOR (Inter-Protocol Overblock Rate) Protocol, which includes the IPOR Index, a standardized benchmark rate based on actual smart contract transactions, and the IPOR Interest Rate Derivatives DEX, allowing traders to hedge, arbitrage, or take a directional position on the interest rate movements to manage risk across their credit portfolios on Ethereum.
Taking a cue from traditional finance, IPOR is bringing tried and true fundamentals of the $450 trillion interest rate derivatives market to form the base layer of the DeFi credit markets. IPOR Labs AG, the firm that is developing the IPOR Protocol, was founded by crypto and TradFi market veterans. With three PhDs, quants with over 20 years in fixed income, enterprise software developers with 15 years in banking, payments, and insurance, IPOR Labs combines deep traditional and crypto finance to build the future of decentralized finance (DeFi). IPOR Labs is led by CEO Darren Camas, who has more than 11 years of experience building in crypto markets across exchange, payments, layer ones, and token infrastructure.
"In turbulent market conditions amid increasing interest rates, risk management comes to the forefront for investors, particularly in the credit markets," said IPOR Labs AG CEO Darren Camas. "Where CeFi becomes the villain, DeFi has taken a hero role, particularly in the credit markets where major platforms have functioned flawlessly during the market downturn. We're looking to offer a public good with the IPOR Index that offers a fully transparent and auditable benchmark rate and interest rate derivatives to manage risk. While the industry recoils, investors want to know how to assess and manage risks across portfolios."
The IPOR Protocol consists of two parts:
- The IPOR (Inter-Protocol Overblock Rate) Index, a LIBOR-like benchmark interest rate sourced directly from DeFi smart contracts, is the core of the protocol. Unlike the LIBOR which was discontinued due to manipulation by traders inside banks, the IPOR Index is based on transparent, auditable, and real-time smart contract interactions, leveraging the very fundamentals of blockchain technology for a trustless benchmark rate. The IPOR Index is referred to as "The Heartbeat of DeFi" as it tracks the beating heart of the credit market.
The IPOR Index is published on-chain as a public good via a bespoke oracle where protocol builders and contracts can reference the IPOR Index rates as the base for new credit markets, lending agreements, derivatives, and other structured products.
- The IPOR Interest Rate Derivatives Decentralized Exchange (DEX) - The first derivative instrument based on the IPOR Index is a 28 day cancellable swap which uses a peer-to-pool model between a trader and the liquidity pool as underwriter for both pay-fixed and receive-fixed contracts. The DEX allows traders to manage risk of interest rate volatility. The bespoke AMM relies on traditional quant models such as Hull White and jump diffusion to model and manage risk for volatile rates movements present in DeFi credit markets.
"The IPOR protocol has the potential to be the base layer of the DeFi credit markets by closing interest rate spreads and creating a de facto standard for risk-free investments. In the current state of DeFi, capital markets are extremely fragmented due to a multiplicity of money market protocols intra and inter-chain with different liquidity profiles, assets, utilization curves and risk profiles," said Michael Arrington, founder at Arrington Capital. "The obvious outcome is extreme dispersion of interest rates. IPOR addresses this issue head-on by tracking rates across protocols and generating the IPOR Index, the foundation for a cross-chain, aggregate risk-free rate."
Following an oversubscribed token round with industry leading investors such as Arrington Capital, CMT Digital, gumi Cryptos, New Form Capital, and GSR, the protocol has been under construction for the past 18 months to vet the quant and smart contract models. After nearly 90,000 wallets interacting with the protocol on testnet and over 600,000 contracts taken, the robustness and scalability of the protocol are now ready for public launch.

Tunisia
The Tunisian government has halted several attempts to smuggle 91 people to Europe overnight, after a weekend in which more than 650 would-be migrants were intercepted and some rescued by the Tunisian authorities.
The National Guard announced in a statement that it had prevented "five maritime border crossings and the rescue of 80 people", including 35 migrants from sub-Saharan African countries, the others being Tunisians.
In addition, "preventive operations" were carried out on the coasts of Menzel Temime (north), Mahdia and the Kerkennah archipelago (centre) and near Zarzis (south) and led to the arrest of 11 people - whose nationality was not revealed - who were preparing to leave, according to the national guard.
During these operations, the National Guard said they seized "a sum of money" without specifying the amount, an inflatable boat and air pumps.
On Monday, the maritime and military authorities announced that they had intercepted or rescued a total of 657 migrants, including a whole family of Tunisians as well as 42 Egyptians who had left Libya and escaped a shipwreck, and foiled a total of 46 attempts to emigrate illegally.
Tunisia is going through a serious political and economic crisis and now has four million poor people. Libya has been in chaos since 2011 with militias running the lucrative trafficking of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.
In spring and summer, with the help of milder weather, attempts to emigrate illegally from Tunisia and Libya to Europe tend to increase.
Italy, some of whose coasts are only 200 km from the Tunisian coastline, is one of the main entry points for migrants from North Africa.
According to the European agency Frontex, the central Mediterranean route was used by more than 42,500 migrants between January and July, an increase of 44% compared to the first seven months of 2021. | http://www.africanews.com/2022/08/16/new-set-of-migrants-intercepted-in-tunisia-bound-for-europe/ | 2022-08-16T17:15:54Z | http://www.africanews.com/2022/08/16/new-set-of-migrants-intercepted-in-tunisia-bound-for-europe/ | false | 2 |

As everyone knows, there isn’t a position in fantasy football that is more valuable than team defenses. Without an elite fantasy defense to anchor their team, fantasy managers have absolutely no chance of bringing home a championship. It’s not a matter of whether your first pick should be spent on a defense. It’s just a matter of which one.
Sorry. My sarcasm filter got stuck in the “open” position there for a minute. Now, where were we?
In reality, in most leagues’ team defenses are essentially an afterthought. A position to fill just before drafting a kicker. Still, even in leagues where the scoring for defenses is relatively modest, there’s an edge to be gained by having a good defense. In 2021, the highest-scoring defense in NFL.com default scoring (The Dallas Cowboys) posted 2.7 more fantasy points per game more than the No. 12 defense (the Tennessee Titans).
Hey, it’s something. Am I right?
For some fantasy drafters, that edge is enough to spur them to get aggressive — to be one of the first in their league to snag a defense. Per the Average Draft Position (ADP) data at Fantasy Football Calculator, the first defense taken on average this year (the Buffalo Bills) is being selected in the front half of Round 10.
Attacking a defense early comes with a couple of problems, though. The first is that relatively modest drop-off from defense No. 1 to defense No. 12. The Bills are being drafted just before players like New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney and Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce — youngsters who have some “lottery ticket” appeal in 2022. A pretty compelling argument can be made that having those players stashed on the bench is more valuable than those 2.7 points per week.
There’s also the matter of getting that “edge” to begin with. There are lot of moving pieces on team defenses that can change from season to season. Players move on. Coaches change. Schemes are altered or completely overhauled. Never mind that many of the stats defenses rely on for fantasy production (like sacks and takeaways) are inherently rather fluky. Or that injuries hit just like on offense.
Add it all together, and you get a position that can be very hard to predict from one year to the next. Last year’s No. 1 defense in terms of ADP (the Pittsburgh Steelers) finished the year 16th in fantasy points. The highest-drafted defense two years ago (the San Francisco 49ers) finished that year a dismal 25th. Three years ago the Chicago Bears had the honor of coming off the board first among defenses.
They finished that year 23rd in fantasy points.
Chasing a so-called “elite” fantasy defense is a fool’s errand. A waste of valuable draft capital. But there is a strategy for approaching team defenses that can afford you the fantasy production you want without the price tag on draft day you do not.
As a matter of fact, there are a couple — because who doesn’t like options?
OPTION 1: Living the Stream
This is a strategy that quite a few fantasy veterans employ, and one that I use in the vast majority of my own leagues.
It’s simple, really. Rather than looking at defense as a position where you’re making a season-long investment, wait until very late on draft day and target a defense with favorable matchups early in the season. There isn’t a more matchup-dependent position in all of fantasy football than team defense, and finding bad offenses and leaky offensive lines to exploit can afford your squad elite defensive production at a deep discount. Then, when the favorable matchup(s) dry up, simply punt that defense to the waiver wire and start over.
It can be a little trickier to pull off early in the season — basing matchups on last year’s offensive and defensive performances can carry additional risk. But it’s still the best way to get value on defense, and there are a few teams that stand out as targets ahead of Week 1.
Cleveland Browns
Deshaun Watson’s playing status has been the dominant storyline in Cleveland this summer, but the Browns have quietly put together a solid defense. Last year, the Browns were fifth in total defense, fifth against the pass, 12th against the run, 13th in points allowed, and ninth in sacks. The team was also a Top 10 fantasy defense in some scoring systems in 2021, but they are an afterthought in many drafts.
What really makes Cleveland appealing though is their schedule to open the season. Starting with the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, the Browns face four straight bottom-10 offenses — the Panthers, Jets, Steelers, and Falcons. Three of the four teams ranked in the Top 10 in fantasy points allowed to defenses last season, starting with a Panthers team that was last year’s top matchup for opposing defenses. It’s a solid month of tasty gravy.
Washington Commanders
Last year, the Commanders were a trendy pick to break out defensively, coming off draft boards third at the position on average. It was a disaster — the team was beset by injuries, a handful of players failed to meet expectations and Washington barely finished inside the Top 20 in fantasy points. It was a face plant that fantasy managers haven’t forgotten.
The thing is, just as fantasy managers shouldn’t chase last year’s big numbers, you also need to be willing to put a down campaign in the rear-view mirror. The Commanders have talent at all three levels, including a defensive line littered with first-round picks. With the Jacksonville Jaguars (who led the AFC in fantasy points allowed to defenses in 2021) and Detroit Lions on tap to open the season, it’s not hard to imagine the Commanders starting the season strong.
Philadelphia Eagles
It’s not all that hard to see why the Eagles defense isn’t generating a ton of excitement from fantasy drafters. Philly ranked outside the Top 20 last season in fantasy points, 18th in points per game allowed, and managed just 29 sacks for the season. Only one team (the Atlanta Falcons) had fewer.
However, the Eagles absolutely have the depth and talent in the front seven to better that number in 2022, especially after adding edge-rusher Haason Reddick in free agency and rookie tackle Jordan Davis in the draft. The Eagles open the season in Detroit before a prime-time tilt with the Vikings and a trip to Washington. Two of those matchups are favorable, and the third (Minnesota) may not be that bad given Kirk Cousins’ penchant for struggling in prime time games.
Option No. 2: Upside Weekly Starter
Some fantasy managers aren’t interested turning-and-burning a different defense every week or two. Maybe their league has a maximum number of transactions allowed per season, and they don’t want to waste them on a defense. Perhaps their league charges actual cash for in-season roster moves. Maybe they just don’t want to be bothered.
Whatever, as they say, is clever. I don’t judge.
However, if you desire a defense that you can just plug into the lineup every week, you don’t have to pay a Top 5 premium to get it. Just as with matchup plays, there are a few teams in the 8-14 range in ADP that are undervalued this year.
The best part about Option 2? If a defense doesn’t meet expectations, the lost draft capital is negligible — and Option 1 is still on the table.
New England Patriots
News flash — the New England Patriots are pretty good at the whole playing defense thing. Last year, only the Buffalo Bills allowed fewer points per game than the Patriots. Only three teams surrendered fewer yards per game. But whether it’s due to a lack of sizzle, big names or just Bill Belichick fatigue, the Patriots are being drafted well outside the Top 5 team defenses.
However, the Patriots were more than just a goof NFL defense last year. The team was also a Top 5 defense in terms of fantasy points. At a position where consistency can be remarkably hard to come by, the Patriots have posted Top 12 fantasy numbers in three of four seasons and Top 5 numbers twice. The Pats also open the season with a pair of decent matchups at Miami and Pittsburgh. If there’s such a thing as a high-floor defense, the Patriots are probably it.
Denver Broncos
The arrival of Russell Wilson in Denver has sent shockwaves of enthusiasm through the Mike High City. But that enthusiasm does not extend to the defensive side of the ball — at least in fantasy. The Broncos are barely being drafted inside the Top 12 among defenses, which means that in more drafts than not they should be available in the next-to-last or even last round.
On some level, the apprehension is warranted — Denver barely finished inside the Top 20 in fantasy points last year. But the Broncos signed Randy Gregory in free agency to bolster the edge, the Broncos have one of the better secondaries in the league on paper and the team opens with what’s left of the Seattle Seahawks and the Texans. Once the AFC West schedule starts though, things could get dicey.
Pittsburgh Steelers
As has already been mentioned, quite a bit of the fantasy shine came off the Steelers last year. After years of being one of the stoutest defenses in the league, the Steelers were a moribund 24th in the NFL in total defense. Even more surprisingly, there wasn’t a team in the entire NFL that gave up more yards per game on the ground.
However, the Steelers tallied 55 sacks last season, pacing the NFL in that regard for the fourth time in the past five seasons. In fact, the last time Pittsburgh finished lower than second in the league in that category was in 2016. With T.J. Watt on the roster it’s a safe bet that Pittsburgh will rank close to the top of the NFL in that category again, and if the Steelers can get past Joe Burrow and the Bengals in Week 1, the rest of September is manageable.

Man stabs another man ‘50 to 70′ times, killing him, then steals his tablet, police say
MESA, Ariz. (KTVK/KPHO/Gray News) – A man in Arizona was arrested after stabbing a man dozens of times, killing him, then stealing his tablet, according to police.
Mesa police said Roberto Villareal-Suarez, 38, is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.
Officers responded Friday morning to a report of a man found dead in the middle of an intersection. First responders arrived to find a man with “about 50 to 70″ stab wounds to his chest and torso.
The victim was identified as Jose Feliciano, 46.
Mesa police said they found Villareal-Suarez nearby with blood on his clothes and hands and took him into custody. He was also holding a tablet, which police said belonged to the victim.
Investigators also reviewed surveillance video from a nearby gas station, which they said shows Villareal-Suarez getting into a fight with Feliciano and stabbing him.
An eyewitness also told officers at the scene that it appeared that Villareal-Suarez was violently swinging his right arm while standing over Feliciano.
Police said during an interview, Villareal-Suarez admitted to stabbing Feliciano multiple times because he “wanted to kill him.” When asked about the tablet, Villareal-Suarez said he took it to try and use it or sell it for money because he was homeless.
As of Monday morning, Villareal-Suarez was being held on a $1 million bond.

WARNING: This story contains graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is investigating after a buck was spotted wandering in Hendersonville with a crossbow bolt sticking out of its head.
Photos of the mature buck recently began circulating on social media, prompting a response from the TWRA.
“While this agency doesn’t make a habit of going out and handling every injured animal, this animal was in distress, and we felt like we could make a difference for it,” Barry Cross of the TWRA said.
TWRA wildlife officers located and tranquilize the buck before extracting the bolt and applying medicine, according to a news release. Cross told WKRN the buck only suffered an injury to his nasal cavity.
TWRA officers believe the buck was shot out of season by a would-be poacher. The agency is aware of multiple cases of people hunting out of season each year, but the situations aren’t always as blatant as this one.
“The laws are in place so everybody follows the same rule, they follow the same path, and when it becomes hunting season, everyone has the same opportunity,” Cross said.
The TWRA reminded residents that deer season is not open until August 26 to 28, when licensed hunters can participate in a private-land hunt for antlered deer.
The TWRA would like anyone with information related to this incident to email Sumner County Wildlife Officer Montana Michelson or call the Region II Office at (615) 781-6622. | https://www.fox46.com/nexstar-media-wire/deer-spotted-in-tennessee-with-crossbow-bolt-protruding-from-head-photos-show/ | 2022-08-16T17:22:03Z | https://www.fox46.com/nexstar-media-wire/deer-spotted-in-tennessee-with-crossbow-bolt-protruding-from-head-photos-show/ | true | 25 |
Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $38.8 million to Junior Achievement USA and 26 local operations — the largest single gift in its 103-year history — the national education nonprofit announced Tuesday.
Like all of Scott’s nearly $12 billion in donations since 2019, her gift to Junior Achievement USA is unrestricted, meaning the Colorado-based nonprofit, which prepares students for adulthood by teaching them financial literacy, career skills and business ownership training, can use the funds for any project it wants.
Jack E. Kosakowski, Junior Achievement USA’s president and CEO, said the gift was “a huge, pleasant surprise” and raised morale throughout the organization. Junior Achievement USA will receive $10 million, while 26 local Junior Achievement operations will split $28.8 million based on the evaluation of Scott and her team.
It is not clear whether the gift to Junior Achievement marks a new run of donations from Scott and her husband, Dan Jewett. The author and philanthropist does not comment on her donations beyond her Medium blog, which has not been updated since March. Her gifts are only announced if and when the groups receiving them confirm the donations.
Kosakowski said he is thrilled by Scott’s unrestricted gift because it can be used to modernize the group’s technology infrastructure, a need that is rarely high on most donors’ priority lists. The $10 million will also help expand the nonprofit’s digital educational offerings and add volunteers in currently underserved areas.
“We support all 102 of our local offices across the country, so this is going to really help us streamline our operations,” Kosakowski told The Associated Press. “Ultimately, as we get more efficient, it’s gonna allow us to use more of our traditional donor dollars for directly serving the young people that we work with.”
Scott, currently worth about $42 billion according to Forbes, has signed the Giving Pledge, a promise from many billionaires to donate more than half their wealth. As part of her 2019 divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who was then the richest person in the world, Scott received 4% of Amazon’s shares.
Since then, she has worked diligently to make unrestricted donations quickly. Initially, Scott focused on funding that would generate more racial and gender equity, with substantial donations to numerous HBCUs and groups like the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which received $275 million from her in March.
However, in recent donations, Scott has also singled out long-established nonprofits with a focus on their communities – including Habitat for Humanity and The Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “Communities with a habit of removing obstacles for different subsets of people tend to get better for everyone,” she wrote in her March blog post.
And now, she is supporting Junior Achievement, which educates more than 12.5 million students in 115 countries around the world.
“It’s given our board, given our staff, just a huge boost in confidence,” Kosakowski said. “People are seeing and acknowledging what we do to get these young people prepared to be successful in life.” | https://nypost.com/2022/08/16/mackenzie-scott-gives-39-million-to-junior-achievement-usa/ | 2022-08-16T17:22:39Z | https://nypost.com/2022/08/16/mackenzie-scott-gives-39-million-to-junior-achievement-usa/ | true | 36 |
Good Dogs: These are the 10 most obedient breeds of adorable dog that should always sit and stay - including the loving Labrador Retriever 🐶
As demand for cute pups continues to soar post-lockdown, here are the dog breeds that will sit, stay and walk to heel.
The last two years have seen many of us welcome a new four-legged friend into our homes, as the Kennel Club saw dog ownership soar over the global pandemic.
But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your perfect pup.
Those with active lifestyles might want to consider a larger dog, while somebody with allergies will be looking for a hypoallergenic dog.
If you are looking for a dog that will follow commands and not run riot, there’s scientific research into the subject that can guide you.
Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ is a landmark piece of canine literature, judging breeds’ relative IQs – including by looking at how obedient they are.
So these are – officially – the top 10 most obedient pooches.

Deputy Trade Minister Ana Teresita Gonzalez said on an evening TV talk show that foreign investors would be allowed to fully own local wholesalers for the first time or enter the market through joint ventures. Retail would be more restricted but she opened the door to some public/private ventures in that sector as well.
The reforms would allow foreign-owned entities to invest in warehouse and back-end logistics operations supplying state-run and private businesses, for example, supporting the country's effort to improve efficiency in its notoriously unproductive retail sector.
Gonzalez also said Cuba would "selectively" allow some foreign investors into the retail market, provided the investment contributed to the country's socialist goals and lowered prices.
Domestic Trade Minister Betsy Diaz Velazquez said on the same talk show that the state would maintain its dominance in retail, but allow for some public/private joint ventures.
"We will prioritize these types of initiatives with foreign investors already in Cuba and allied countries," she said.
The incremental measures come as Cuba struggles to redefine its largely closed, state-run economy after two years of pandemic woes and blanket U.S. sanctions that have stymied recovery.
Rising discontent over long lines for basic goods, fuel shortages and rolling blackouts have prompted Communist party officials to fast-track long-delayed plans to reform the Soviet-style state-run economy.
Both officials said Monday evening the goal was to get more raw materials and goods into the hands of producers and consumers on the island - but economists and business people consulted by Reuters said the measures would likely fall short.
"It is a step in the right direction, but far too little and too late," said Cuban economist Omar Everleny.
He said the measures were riddled with caveats and red tape.
"Both announcements were full of words such as 'exceptions, control, conditions,' as if they did not understand how serious the crisis is."
A foreign businesswoman involved in Cuban trade told Reuters on the condition of anonymity that investors would continue to be leery of any deal that involved trade in local currency or debt.
She said the measures signaled the government was "refusing to break-out of a failed model."

Suspected militants fatally shoot local Hindu in Kashmir
Assailants have fatally shot a local Hindu man and injured his brother in a shooting that police blame on militants fighting against Indian rule in disputed Kashmir
Suspected militants fatally shoot local Hindu in Kashmir
Show all 7Assailants on Tuesday fatally shot a local Hindu man and injured his brother in a shooting that police blamed on militants fighting against Indian rule in disputed Kashmir.
Police said militants fired at two brothers belonging to minority community of Kashmiri Hindus inside an apple orchard in southern Shopian district.
The two were taken to a hospital with critical gunshot wounds where one died, police said in a statement.
Reinforcement of soldiers and police cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to nab the attackers.
Kashmir has witnessed a spate of targeted killings in recent months. Several Hindus, including immigrant workers from Indian states, have been killed. Police say the killings — including that of Muslim village councilors, police officers and civilians — have been carried out by anti-India rebels.
The spate of killings this year come as Indian troops have continued their counterinsurgency operations across the region amid a clampdown on dissent and press freedom, which critics have likened to a militaristic policy.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety.
Rebels in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir have been fighting New Delhi’s rule since 1989. Most Muslim Kashmiris support the rebel goal of uniting the territory, either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.
India insists the Kashmir militancy is Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Pakistan denies the charge, and most Kashmiris consider it a legitimate freedom struggle. Tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government forces have been killed in the conflict.
Kashmir’s minority Hindus, who are locally known as Pandits, have long fretted over their place in the disputed region. Most of an estimated 200,000 of them fled Kashmir in the 1990s when an armed rebellion against Indian rule began. Some 4,000 of them later returned after 2010 as part of a government resettlement plan that provided them with jobs and housing.
The recent killings, however, have heightened their fears.
In May, after the killing of a Hindu revenue clerk, hundreds of them organized for the first time simultaneous street protests in the region and demanded the government relocate them to safer areas.

ONAWA, Iowa — Some people prefer taking the road less traveled.
That's certainly the case with brothers Byron and Doug Thelander.
For the past five years, Byron, a retired heating and cooling company owner from Onawa, Iowa, and Doug, a retired plumbing company owner from Castana, Iowa have bicycled their way from Norfolk to Valentine, Nebraska, on a round-trip trek across the famous Cowboy Trail.
The brother are slated to make a return in mid-September.
Running across Nebraska's so-called Outback region, the Cowboy Trail originally had train tracks belonging to the Chicago and North Western Railway. Eventually, this railway corridor was discontinued and the tracks were removed.
Nowadays, the Cowboy Trail is a recreational trail used for hiking, horseback riding and, in the case of the Thelander brothers, bicycling.
People are also reading…
"Our ride is over 400 miles," Byron Thelander explained. "We'll ride 85 miles for the first two days and, then, 60 or so miles for the next six days."
While the scenery is beautiful, the ride can be both challenging and treacherous.
"A few years back, we had to ride on top of eight inches of water," Byron Thelander said. "Downpours form the night before would flood the trails."
Good luck if you ever have a bicycle breakdown. After all, you're in the middle of nowhere.
Indeed, the brothers had to be on the lookout for goat heads, a type of plant with an aggressively sharp bur.
"Goat heads are like cockleburs on steroids," Byron Thelander explained. "You can blow your tire on a goat head."
This "roughing it" aspect was a marked contrast with Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), which the brothers had often previously rode.
"On RAGBRAI, you're always in a crowd and that's no fun," Byron Thelander said. "The Cowboy Trail is more challenging plus the views are better."
He isn't kidding. The Pine Ridge, the Sandhills and the valleys of the Niobrara River, the Elkhorn River and Lone Pine Creek.
However, the Thelander brothers' cycling summer will start with a 200-mile round trip along the George S. Mickelson Trail in South Dakota's Black Hills region.
Indeed, Byron Thelander, 69, estimated he will cycle around 3,000 this year and Doug Thelander, 71, will be even more active.
"When I was working, I couldn't take time off," Byron Thelander said. "While Doug and I don't feel old, we are able to enjoy our retirements."
Plus they're staying healthy while having fun.
"The challenges and discomforts of the ride are just short memories compared to the fun times, beautiful scenery you miss just driving down the highway and also the sense of accomplishment which will all last a lifetime," Byron Thelander said. | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/columnists/horlyk/for-five-years-siouxland-cycling-brothers-have-made-an-annual-trek-on-the-cowboy-trail/article_5226d222-ba7f-5e20-a63f-5c47bfa1486b.html | 2022-08-16T17:29:43Z | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/columnists/horlyk/for-five-years-siouxland-cycling-brothers-have-made-an-annual-trek-on-the-cowboy-trail/article_5226d222-ba7f-5e20-a63f-5c47bfa1486b.html | false | 2 |
St Xavier's University faces social onslaught over teacher losing job for swimsuit pics
Kolkata's St Xavier's University is facing social onslaughts after the news became viral recently that an assistant professor of the university was forced to resign for posting pictures in swimsuit on Instagram, and that too before she joined the university.
Kolkata's St Xavier's University is facing social onslaughts after the news became viral recently that an assistant professor of the university was forced to resign for posting pictures in swimsuit on Instagram, and that too before she joined the university.
After the news became viral, she was even slapped with a defamation notice by the university authorities, demanding damage compensation to the tune of Rs 99 crore on the ground that her action was an 'ill-motivated', 'desperate' and 'dishonest' attempt to open a closed chapter, thus causing immense and irreparable damage to the image of the institute.
St Xavier's University, a Jesuit university established in February 2017, is the post-graduation extension of Kolkata's iconic St Xavier's College, which was founded in 1860.
While the college is located at Park Street in Kolkata, the campus for the university is located in New Town on the northern outskirts of Kolkata.
Recently, the students of the university put up posters within the campus describing the decision to force the resignation of the assistant professor as a reflection of the patriarchal mentality of the university authorities.
"I have been associated with the college for around two decades. The students' union of the college or the university had been traditionally apolitical and students displaying posters within the campus against the authorities was unheard of in the past," said a teacher of the college on condition of anonymity.
A petition has already been filed on this count, which has been signed by 20,000 individual, including educationists, psychologists, film and television artistes and members of the civil society. It has been forwarded to state Education Minister Bratya Basu seeking his intervention in the matter.
A social media campaign has also started against the university's chancellor, FR Felix Raj, on this count, which has been signed and commented on by thousands of people, including several former and present students of both the college and the university.
However, despite the public uproar, the members of the university's governing body have refrained from reaching out to the media to present their side of the argument.

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Recorded Music has unveiled a new global joint venture with Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lee Daniels’ (The United States vs. Billie Holiday) company, Lee Daniels Music.
The agreement encompasses recorded music projects, including soundtracks, as well as artist signings. Its first project — the original motion picture soundtrack for The United States vs. Billie Holiday, starring Warner Records artist Andra Day — won this year’s Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. The film directed by Daniels was released on Hulu in February of 2021, with the companion album released via Warner Records and Warner Recorded Music worldwide. Daniels continues to have a multi-year overall deal with 20th Television, having last year extended his relationship with the studio, which goes back to 2014.
Amanda Ghost, CEO of AI Film and co-founder of Unigram (both ventures backed by Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries), acted as Executive Music Producer on The United States vs. Billie Holiday project, also proving integral in setting up the partnership with Daniels and launching the joint venture. News of Lee Daniels Music’s partnership with the Lousada-led Warner Recorded Music follows the latter’s partnership with creatives including Matthew Vaughn, who with the company launched the joint venture MARV Music—a creator of original music for films, soundtracks and film-inspired album releases. Lousada also recently struck a worldwide distribution deal with Patrick Moxey’s Payday Records and Helix Records, with Warner handling via ADA Worldwide.
“At Warner, we’ve built a thriving environment for creative pioneers and inspired entrepreneurs,” said Warner Recorded Music CEO, Max Lousada. “Lee is an artistic visionary who has crafted some of the most powerful, moving, and captivating works of our era. Music has always figured prominently in his productions, driving the narrative of great films such as Precious and The Butler, while playing a central role in his influential TV series, Empire. The Billie Holiday soundtrack was a fantastic way to start our relationship, and we’re looking forward to working with Lee on an exciting series of projects inspired by his deep musical knowledge and impeccable taste.”
“This venture brings together the genius of Lee Daniels, the dynamic global team at Warner, and an array of extraordinary artistic voices. Together, they’ll propel great storytelling, create indelible images, and produce hit soundtracks,” said Ghost. “The Billie Holiday project has already shown us the kind of impactful experiences that will come from this collaboration, and there are some very special movies and music on the way.”
“I am always looking for new ways to expand and grow. I’m a filmmaker first and foremost, but, theater and music are also such passions of mine,” added Daniels. “I’m excited to be teaming up with Warner Music. It’s yet another way for me to keep pushing myself creatively – – and The United States vs. Billie Holiday is just beginning!”
Daniels earned two Oscar nominations for his 2009 film Precious, including Best Picture and Directing, and in addition to Billie Holiday, has directed such features as Lee Daniels’ The Butler, The Paperboy and Shadowboxer, as well as on his shows Star and Empire. Notable producing credits outside of these projects include ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot, Fox’s Our Kind of People, BET+’s The Ms. Pat Show, and the Oscar-winning Halle Berry drama, Monster’s Ball. Daniels founded Lee Daniels Entertainment in 2001 and is currently in pre-production on his next film, The Deliverance—an exorcism thriller that he will direct and produce for Netflix, from his script. The project reunites him with Day, who is starring alongside Mo’Nique, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis, Rob Morgan and Caleb McLaughlin. Other upcoming projects include the FX series The Spook Who Sat by the Door, the Broadway comedy Ain’t No Mo’ and an untitled Sammy Davis Jr. limited series, to be co-written and directed by Daniels for Hulu.
As part of Warner Music Group, Warner Recorded Music brings together artists, songwriters, and entrepreneurs that are moving entertainment culture across the globe. Operating in more than 70 countries through a network of affiliates and licensees, WMG’s Recorded Music division includes such notable labels as 300 Entertainment, Asylum, Atlantic, Big Beat, Canvasback, Elektra, Erato, First Night, Fueled by Ramen, Nonesuch, Parlophone, Reprise, Rhino, Roadrunner, Sire, Spinnin’, Warner Records, Warner Classics, and Warner Music Nashville.

Manx ferry terminal link bridge in Liverpool to be completed by June
- Published
A bridge linking the Isle of Man ferry terminal in Liverpool to Princes Dock is due to be finished by June 2023.
The bridge will be completed in time for the opening of the new Manx government-funded ferry terminal.
Peel L&P said the bridge would give pedestrians and cyclists a link between the terminal and developments at the £5bn Liverpool Waters scheme.
The bridge, which is expected to cost just under £300,000, will be part funded Liverpool City Council.
The project would join the existing pedestrian and cycleways between Princes Dock and Central Dock, creating access along the entire Liverpool waterfront, developers said.
Chris Capes, development director for the Liverpool Waters project, said the bridge would form a "critical link".
"The bridge will also encourage active and sustainable travel along the whole of the Liverpool waterfront through new connecting pedestrian and cycleways, which is an important part of our long-term plan for Liverpool Waters," he added.
The ferry terminal has been beset by delays since the project was started in 2019 due to Covid lockdowns, material shortages, and unexpected structural issues.
In December Tynwald members approved an additional £32.6m for the Princes Half Tide Dock project, taking the total cost to £70.6m.
A Manx government spokesman said the bridge would connect the dock with the new terminal "and beyond".
The link would "also provide a more direct route for ferry passengers wishing to travel to and from the city centre on foot than via Waterloo Road, Jesse Hartley Way and Triskelion Way".

U.S Marines with Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 26 have demonstrated air-combat power of its MV-22B Osprey aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, Aug. 9, 2022.
According to a press release from 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, MAG-26 demonstrated air-combat power they provide to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force by ensuring the five MV-22B Osprey squadrons are ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.
The MV-22B Osprey is a tiltrotor V/STOL aircraft designed as the medium-lift replacement for the CH-46E Sea Knight assault support helicopter.
The Osprey can operate as a helicopter or a turboprop aircraft and offers twice the speed, six times the range, and three times the payload of the CH-46E.
The Osprey aircraft utilizes tiltrotor technology to combine the vertical performance of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. With its rotors in vertical position, it can take off, land and hover like a helicopter. Once airborne, it can convert to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. | https://defence-blog.com/u-s-marines-demonstrate-air-combat-power-of-its-ospreys/ | 2022-08-16T17:36:48Z | https://defence-blog.com/u-s-marines-demonstrate-air-combat-power-of-its-ospreys/ | false | 1 |

A woman in Scotland was left perplexed after receiving a strange complaint from her neighbor about her workout routine.Sharing her grievances on the online forum Mumsnet, the woman explained that she had been performing her workout in her back garden during the last few mornings at around 10:30 a.m., wearing headphones in the process in order to spare her neighbors “the cheesy 'come on, push it harder' motivation chat from the fitness instructor.”Yet even as the woman and her husband, who came to back her up, insisted that she wasn’t actually making much noise, the neighbor claimed the “panting noises” produced by the woman during workout “are a bit 'erotic sounding,'” she recalled."Who is being unreasonable? Me or the neighbour?" the woman asked the Mumsnet audience, with quite a few of who responded to her post taking her side.One of these netizens pointed out that the neighbor was essentially complaining about the woman “breathing” in her own garden for 20 minutes, while another one cheekily advised the woman to consider playing some “cheesy music” the next time she does an outdoor workout.

"This morning after my workout (I do HIIT - 20 minutes), the neighbour next door came to the door and asked if I could work out inside as they are trying to relax in their back garden in peace and watch their fish,” she said as quoted by The Scottish Sun.

‘Pop Idol’ and stage star Darius Campbell Danesh dies at 41
LONDON (AP) — Performer Darius Campbell Danesh, who went from a British reality television show to a stage and music career, has died at the age of 41.
The singer’s family said Tuesday that he was found unresponsive in his apartment in Rochester, Minnesota on Aug. 11 and pronounced dead by the local medical examiners’ office.
“The local police department have confirmed that there were no signs of intent or suspicious circumstances,” the family said. “The cause of his sudden death is unknown at this stage while medical examinations continue.”
Born in Glasgow to a Scottish mother and Iranian father, Campbell Danesh appeared on reality show “Popstars” in 2001, making a splash with his intense interpretation of Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time.”
He had more success later the same year on “Pop Idol,” an early Simon Cowell reality-talent show hybrid that aimed to find a new singing star. He came third behind Gareth Gates and Will Young but topped U.K. charts in 2002 with the single “Colourblind,” from his debut album “Dive In.”
Campbell Danesh went on to major roles in musicals, including West End productions of “Chicago” and “Guys and Dolls,” and starred as Rhett Butler in a musical stage adaptation of “Gone With the Wind.” The big-budget show opened in London in April 2008 but closed two months later after poor reviews and ticket sales.
In 2010, he won another reality show, “Popstar to Operastar” and afterward performed in a production of “Carmen” at London’s O2 Arena.
He also made a foray into Hollywood as a co-executive producer on the 2016 horror film “Imperium,” starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Campbell Danesh married actress Natasha Henstridge in California in 2011; they divorced a few years later.

ATHENS – Migration and Asylum Minister Notis Mitarachi during his visit to Evros region on Tuesday stated that “A group of 38 migrants was found, 35 Syrians and three from Palestine that illegally entered Greece. According to their statement, they said that they initially entered Greece on 14 August and hid for a day and afterwards they sent their signal. When the signal was located by the Greek authorities the group was found and the people were transferred here, at the border post, where we offered them medical support and all are very well”.
He also added that a pregnant woman was transferred to hospital for precautionary reasons.
“The second very important thing is that they said they were coming from the opposite Turkish coast of Evros River and were pushed to the islet by the Turkish authorities. Officially, the Turkish authorities said they have arrested the migrants inside Turkey but they did not allow them apply for international protection, as Turkey is committed to do by the International Law. Instead, the Turkish authorities took them to Evros coast and by threat of violence, they pressed them to move towards Greece” Mitarachi said.
Finally, Mitarachi said that as it derives from the testimonies, a five-year-old child died on Turkish ground and this is really unpleasant. “We will move via the International Red Cross and the Red Crescent in order for the child’s body to be located on the Turkish islet and delivered to its family to bury it with respect. | https://www.thenationalherald.com/mitarachi-the-38-migrants-were-pushed-to-the-islet-by-the-turkish-authorities/ | 2022-08-16T17:46:14Z | https://www.thenationalherald.com/mitarachi-the-38-migrants-were-pushed-to-the-islet-by-the-turkish-authorities/ | true | 1 |
NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Hach & Rose, LLP, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) into law on May 24, 2022. The ASA creates a one-year lookback window for sexual assault survivors to bring a lawsuit against their abusers, provided the sexual assault occurred when they were 18 or older.
During the one-year lookback window, the time limit established by the statute of limitations on sex abuse claims will be lifted, allowing survivors to sue no matter how long ago the alleged sexual abuse occurred. The statute of limitations establishes a timeline of three years for civil sexual abuse claims. Still, many survivors cannot or do not report sexual abuse or assault within that time. Survivors might initially be hesitant to sue their abusers for various reasons, including shame, fear of retaliation, fear that police won't help, and fear of telling friends and family.
Survivors of sex crimes that occurred when the victim was at least 18 years old can begin filing lawsuits in November 2022, six months from the date the governor signed the legislation into law. The one-year lookback window will officially close in November 2023. The language in the ASA also ensures that the courts prioritize survivors' cases and that the courts adjudicate these civil actions in a timely manner.
The ASA applies to about 20 sex crimes listed in Penal Law Article 130. Crimes include sexual misconduct, rape, forcible touching, persistent sexual abuse, aggravated sexual abuse, female genital mutilation, and predatory sexual assault.
"We're very excited to stand with adult survivors and support them through their journey of reclaiming their voice through litigation. We know how emotional the process can be, and are looking forward to vigorously prosecuting their claims," said Hillary Nappi, a lawyer at Hach & Rose.
The ASA is modeled after the Child Victims Act (CVA), another piece of legislation passed by the Legislature and signed into law in 2019. The CVA also created a one-year lookback window (which was extended to two years due to COVID-19) for survivors of childhood sexual assault.
Under the CVA, any person who was sexually assaulted or abused as a minor was allowed to sue their abuser during the lookback window, regardless of when the assault or abuse occurred. The act also revised the statute of limitations on civil child sex abuse claims, allowing survivors of child sexual abuse to take legal action in civil court up until age 55.
Another notable feature of the ASA includes a provision for civil actions against institutions or employers who may have been partly liable if a lawsuit had been brought within the statute of limitations. Survivors of sexual assault that occurred in the workplace or within the scope of their employment will be legally entitled to name employers as defendants in lawsuits.
While it remains to be seen how many adult survivors of sexual abuse will come forward and take legal action, the passage of the ASA is undoubtedly a notable victory for survivors.
At Hach & Rose, LLP, our New York sexual abuse lawyers are committed to protecting victims of sexual abuse. We will be ready to investigate your case and work to uncover whether the perpetrator or negligent third party could be held accountable through criminal charges, a civil lawsuit, or both. If you or a loved one suffered any form of sexual abuse, don't wait until it is too late to get justice.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTC QB: BNET), a developer of advanced livestock waste treatment technology that dramatically reduces environmental impacts and recovers valuable resources, will be positively impacted by the federal investment tax credits (ITC's) contained in the climate provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Under the new biogas tax credit, the anaerobic digesters (AD) used by Bion's platform to produce methane from the waste, as well as the cleaning and conditioning equipment used to upgrade the biogas to pipeline-quality renewable natural gas, will be eligible for the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC). In addition, the bill provides ITCs for solar installations.
The solar tax credits in the Act substantially improve the economics of incorporating solar energy production into Bion's sustainable beef projects. Each 15,000-head beef module, such as those in the recently announced Ribbonwire LOI, will be comprised of barns with about 450,000 square feet (10.3 acres) of available roof space. Adding solar will increase module capex from approximately $43 million to $53 million, before the tax credit. Besides further reducing the carbon footprint of its sustainable beef, Bion believes that implementing its own solar energy production capacity in appropriate locations will provide operational flexibility and a hedge against potentially higher energy costs in the future.
The combined AD and solar costs represent approximately 45 percent of the total project capex of approximately $53 million, so the ITC will effectively reduce costs by $7.2 million per project. In addition, Bion believes the tax credit may also apply to investment in the specialized barns and manure collection system needed to handle the waste and prepare it for processing once regulations are promulgated clarifying the provisions. If so, that would increase the portion of the combined capex benefitting from the Act to approximately 80 percent of total capex, reducing project costs by $12.7 million.
The Act also simplifies the procedure for project owners to monetize the tax credits. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "The law is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build critical infrastructure, to protect communities from wildfire and extreme heat and to drive climate-smart agriculture and renewable energy initiatives nationwide."
Bill O'Neill, Bion's CEO, said, "The IRA's climate provisions are a big win for the environment, livestock agriculture, and the consumer. The livestock industry is faced with some very real and fundamental challenges, especially beef. Those same challenges also represent transformational opportunities to improve outcomes in all aspects of the beef supply chain: producers, consumers, animal welfare, and environmental and economic sustainability. We very much look forward to embracing that challenge and leading the transition to truly sustainable beef production."
About Bion: Bion's patented third generation technology was designed to largely mitigate the environmental impacts of large-scale livestock production and deliver a USDA-certified sustainable product to the consumer. The platform simultaneously recovers high-value environmentally friendly fertilizer coproducts and renewable energy that increase revenues. Bion's 3G Tech platform can create a pathway to economic and environmental sustainability with 'win-win' benefits for at least a premium sector of the $175 billion U.S. livestock industry and the consumer.

Technology leader sees sustained growth due to customer-first service and product innovation
DULLES, Va., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fifth consecutive year, Unanet, the leading provider of project-based ERP and CRM solutions, has been named to the Inc. 5000, the prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. Making the list five years in a row is a feat that few companies have achieved. This accomplishment highlights Unanet's role as an industry disrupter serving government contractors (GovCon) and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms. Unanet delivers a better product, coupled with better customer service than has been provided before.
"Our growth is due to the fact that we are successfully taking market share from entrenched ERP and CRM providers who have failed customers with the status quo," said Craig Halliday, CEO of Unanet. "More than one-third of our customers have made the switch to Unanet from a competitive product. It's the hard work of our team, who innovate, listen, and deliver on behalf of customers that has led to this honor."
The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, which will be available on August 23.
"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."

'Good Bones' Stars Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine Get Special Little Visitor in Exclusive Clip
A new episode of Good Bones hits HGTV Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, featuring mother-daughter duo Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine taking on a major remodeling project with a star client. "Major Mansion Makeover" also features a special guest in Hawk's son Jack Richard, 4. In an exclusive clip for PopCulture.com, Jack plays with his grandmother — BGE aka best grandma ever — while his mom unloads a truck full of plants.
Aside from the major renovation featured in the episode, we also see Laine enjoy some time in an Indianapolis community garden. Hawk drove up to the garden to drop off some plants, and Jack tagged along. He followed Laine around while Hawk pulled some potted plants from the back of her truck. "I am in my natural habitat," Laine told the camera. "I am in a community garden. Here in the Fountain Square area, we have several community gardens, which is awesome. So if you don't have land you can garden in your own yard in Indianapolis, go find yourself a community garden."
Hawk had to drop Jack off and go to a house she couldn't get dirty. This stunned Laine, who is not used to hearing her daughter avoiding a mess. "I retire and things just... I don't know what happens," Laine said. Elsewhere in the episode, Hawk will oversee the renovation of Justin Holiday's home. Hawk hopes she can turn his outdated mansion into a modern oasis before Holiday hits the court so she can attract more clients for Two Chicks & A Hammer renovation projects. Holiday is a member of the Atlanta Hawks.
Good Bones is now in its seventh season, which debuted in July and is streaming concurrently on Discovery+ with HGTV. The new season has seen several differences from the past, as Two Chicks has seen recent turnover. "I'm a control freak. I want to do everything myself and that's unfortunately not possible," Hawk recently told PopCulture. Before Season 7 filming started, Hawk worked with a business development coach to understand how better to manage her business. "There was a lot of change in the company and it's kind of like therapy meshed with business consulting. It's been really amazing," she explained.
Although Laine retired from the business, she has remained a major part of the show, as seen in the latest clip. She is keeping more up-to-date with design trends and finds herself bursting with creativity. "We had a moment in the commercial space the other day where – I don't know where these ideas come from – but it's from that time spent thinking, where, you have a problem, we're looking for a solution, and somewhere in the brain is the answer and here it is," Laine told PopCulture. "I don't know where it came from, but here, it's for you – it's the answer. This is the solution and so, it makes retirement feel less selfish."
Good Bones airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on HGTV and streams exclusively on Discovery+ every Tuesday.

Approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry beverages have been recalled because of possible contamination.
Kraft Heinz said in a statement that a cleaning solution used to treat food processing equipment was "inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of our factories." The issue was discovered after it received "several consumer complaints" about the products' taste.
The company didn't disclose how many total pouches have been recalled. However, each case has four cartons that have 10 pouches each totaling in about 230,000 individual pouches possibly being affected.
Here's how to know if your Capri Sun has been recalled: Look for a "Best When Used By" date of June 25, 2023 on each 6.6-ounce pouch. Meanwhile, Kraft said it's "actively working" with retailers to remove the "potentially impacted product from circulation."
"At Capri-Sun, we're committed, as always to a high standard of quality, as the safety of our consumers is paramount," a spokesperson said, adding that the affected pouches were only sold in the United States.
Customers that have the product can return them to the store. Kraft said people shouldn't drink them.
Earlier this week, about 13,000 pounds of frozen pizza made by Home Run Inn Frozen Foods was recalled because of potential metal contamination.
The pizza's meat topping "may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically metal," the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said in a statement Sunday.

By- Four Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)commissioners have rejected the results that endorsed William Ruto’s Presidential victory.
Ruto was on Monday declared the winner of the closely-fought presidential election.
IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati announced the disputed results.
Chebukati declared Kenya Kwanza’s candidate Ruto as president-elect and his running mate Rigathi Gachagua as the deputy president-elect, respectively.
Four commissioners held a surprise press conference at Serena Hotel, Nairobi on Monday afternoon and said they will not take ownership of the results.
The commissioners, including vice chair Juliana Cherera, commissioners Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang’aya, claimed that the results were arrived at in an opaque manner, without giving further details.
Ruto is said to have garnered 7,176,141 votes, representing 50.59 per cent of valid votes cast, beating his rival Azimio la Umoja candidate Raila Odinga whom the IEBC said had 6,942,930 votes.
Said Chebukati:
Despite intimidation and harassment… I have done my duty in accordance with the constitution and the laws of the land.
The declaration has been made without results from four of 290 constituencies – Kacheliba, Kitui Rural, Pokot South and Rongai – whose voting was postponed.
Turnout was lower than in previous elections at around 65 per cent of Kenya’s 22 million registered voters.
The announcement ceremony was held at the national tallying centre at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi and was attended by diplomats and foreign election observers.

(RTTNews) - A report released by the Federal Reserve on Tuesday showed U.S. industrial production increased by more than expected in the month of July.
The Fed said industrial production climbed by 0.6 percent in July following a revised unchanged reading in June.
Economists had expected industrial production to rise by 0.3 percent compared to the 0.2 percent dip originally reported for the previous month.
"The 0.6% m/m rise in industrial production in July was much stronger than we expected and provides another clear sign that the economy is still in expansionary territory," said Andrew Hunter, Senior U.S. Economist at Capital Economics.
He added, "That said, the likely drag on manufacturing from the impending global economic downturn means that resilience of production may not last for long."
The bigger than expected increase in industrial production came as manufacturing output advanced by 0.7 percent in July after falling by 0.4 percent for two straight months.
Mining output also climbed by 0.7 percent in July after jumping by 2.0 percent in June, while utilities output slid by 0.8 percent after slipping by 0.3 percent.
The report also showed capacity utilization in the industrial sector rose to 80.3 percent in July from a revised 79.9 percent in June.
Economists had expected capacity utilization to inch up to 80.1 percent from the 80.0 percent originally reported for the previous month.
Capacity utilization in the manufacturing and mining sectors edged up to 79.8 percent and 88.0 percent, respectively, while capacity utilization in the utilities sector fell to 74.5 percent.

On August 14, 1936, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a speech that has gone down in history. "I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea... I hate war," he said. The 32nd president (1933-1945) had chosen for his speech an "eminently appropriate" place to "discuss the subject of peace": the Chautauqua Institution. Photographs from the time show him in the amphitheater of the cultural center. The stands are filled with spectators.
On August 12, Hadi Matar, 24, chose the same amphitheater to stab the writer Salman Rushdie, who epitomizes freedom of expression. Was he aware of the institution's tradition of tolerance? Of its weight in American intellectual history? Perhaps the investigation will tell. The assailant, in any case, traveled 400 miles from his home in Fairfield, New Jersey, to reach this town on the shores of Lake Chautauqua, in New York state. It is said that the lake's name comes from the Iroquois word for "moccasins tied together," reflecting the body of water's shape.
In the American collective memory, Chautauqua is a place of shared family values and ecumenical tradition. Founded in 1874 by two Methodists, John Vincent and Lewis Miller, the center later opened to other Protestant denominations. Over the decades, it became less religious and more cultural but is still based on the "four pillars" of healthy living: education, arts, religion and recreation. Other Chautauqua centers opened in several states, but it was the one in New York that remained the beacon of the movement. "A magical physical space," whose goals "transcend boundaries of race and faith and gender and politics," write Deborah and James Fallows, two authors familiar with the place.
Rural setting
For nine weeks every summer, Chautauqua functions as a festival of outdoor discussions, concerts, pottery classes and sailing lessons, in a rural setting. Since the 19th century, hundreds of personalities have spoken at Chautauqua, from Mark Twain to Bill Clinton. Theodore Roosevelt is said to have called Chautauqua "the most American thing in America." Today, the institution hosts more than 140,000 participants every summer.
Friday, August 12, began, like every day, with an interfaith meditation, followed by an Episcopal Eucharist and a Roman Catholic mass. (Muslim prayer was scheduled for 12:30 pm.) The theme of the week – the seventh – was "More than Shelter." The conversation with Salman Rushie was scheduled from 10:45 am to noon in the amphitheater. The topic was the asylum that the United States provides for writers in exile. On stage to interview the writer was Henry Reese, a philanthropist and co-founder of the City of Asylum in Pittsburgh, the world's largest residency program for writers persecuted in their home countries.

Handy short-courser Macevoy made it back-to-back wins when he clung on to victory in the Essential Aircor Services Grade 4/5 over 405m at Tabtouch Park Mandurah last Friday.
The Margaret Hepple-trained chaser began moderately but quickly pushed through to the lead in the early stages. Once he got clear he streaked away to a big advantage in the back straight.
Zearfoss emerged from the pack as the leading pursuer and despite swinging wide on the turn he was able to make up ground on Macevoy in the run to the finish line.
Macevoy looked like he might be overrun but he had just enough left in the tank to secure the win by a head in 22.86.
Macevoy has now recorded seven victories from 25 starts and is racing in career best form, with top three finishes from his past five attempts, include three wins.
Zearfoss is trained by Kody Charles, who had success one race later when Garrio collected the Choicechem.com.au 490m Free To All.
Garrio led all the way from box two to record his first win since the start of June. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/mandurah-coastal-times/macevoy-secures-back-to-back-wins-at-tabtouch-park-mandurah-c-7880823 | 2022-08-16T18:06:29Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/mandurah-coastal-times/macevoy-secures-back-to-back-wins-at-tabtouch-park-mandurah-c-7880823 | true | 1 |

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s governor on Tuesday announced a public-private partnership to overhaul the island’s cruise ship docks as part of a $425 million project to boost the U.S. territory’s tourism sector.
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi said the project aims to transform Puerto Rico into the Caribbean’s main cruise ship destination by modernizing, repairing and expanding nine docks located in the capital of San Juan to receive larger vessels and more passengers.
“It’s an extremely important day for tourism in Puerto Rico,” said Carlos Mercado, executive director for the island’s Tourism Company.
San Juan Cruise Port — a subsidiary of London-based Global Ports Holding, the world’s largest cruise port operator — will be responsible for operating and overseeing the project as part of a 30-year deal with Puerto Rico’s Ports Authority that was five years in the making. The contract states the island’s government will receive annual payments representing at least 5% of the operator’s gross income.
As part of the deal, the number of docks currently capable of serving as base port for four cruise ships at a time will double to eight. Crews also will modernize docks battered by hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 and that have been worn down throughout the decades, with the first one being built in the 1970.
“We haven’t been able to compete on a large scale with other jurisdictions,” Pierluisi said.
Joel Pizá, executive director of Puerto Rico’s Ports Authority, said the docks are currently not designed to receive larger ships or 5,000 passengers or more at a time. He also noted that the agency is $350 million in debt, which makes it hard to issue bonds to repair and improve docks despite federal officials identifying serious structural deficiencies that would require more than $200 million to fix.
“This is the reality,” he said. “Capital investment is more than needed at this moment.”
The maximum docking fee and passenger fee are not expected to change as part of the deal, officials said.
The announcement is the latest public-private partnership that the U.S. territory has launched as the central government and certain public agencies emerge from a deep bankruptcy amid an ongoing economic crisis. Previous partnerships have led private companies to take over management and operation of the island’s main international airport, certain highways and the transmission and distribution of power, among others.
Some have criticized the newest partnership, demanding that federal officials scrutinize the privatization of some $5 billion of infrastructure for an upfront initial investment of $75 million. Puerto Rico Rep. Ángel Matos García, spokesman for the majority of the island’s House of Representatives, said he and other politicians will be meeting with federal officials in Washington, D.C. to talk about the deal.
Tourism represents less than 7% of Puerto Rico’s economy, but officials hope to change that with the newest partnership, with work slated to start next year.
Puerto Rico saw a record number of cruise ship passengers prior to the pandemic, only for the docks to shut down for 16 months. But business has since rebounded. The government reported more than 420,000 passengers in fiscal year 2021-2022, a 23% recovery compared with the 2018-2019 fiscal year
This fiscal year, officials expect more than 1 million passengers — roughly 80% of pre-pandemic traffic — with eight new cruise ships scheduled to visit the San Juan port for the first time. | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/ap-us-news/puerto-rico-cruise-ship-docks-face-425m-public-private-deal/ | 2022-08-16T18:07:36Z | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/ap-us-news/puerto-rico-cruise-ship-docks-face-425m-public-private-deal/ | true | 34 |
“Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls,” by Kathleen Hale (Grove Press)
The seemingly senseless stabbing of a young girl by two of her school friends in the Waukesha, Wisconsin, woods in 2014 made international headlines when it became known that the two perpetrators were under the sway of Slenderman, a fictional Internet demon that they had become convinced was real.
But the lurid headlines of the stranger-than-fiction crime missed many crucial facts about the case, which author Kathleen Hale lays out in rigorous step-by-step detail that's the result of seven years of research. For one, the girl that they stabbed survived, although her injuries were severe and her recovery long.
Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, who were 12 when they committed the crime, found Slenderman online on a website called Creepypasta.com, a fan-fiction site that combined amateur horror stories with altered photos and videos. Slenderman struck a chord with the two girls, and they became convinced they had to commit a human sacrifice and then find Slenderman in the woods to live with them. They chose their friend, Bella, for the attack.
Geyser had undiagnosed childhood schizophrenia and had seen colors and visions her whole life, so believing in Slenderman fit in with how she knew the world. Weier had a difficult home life and found an escape in Creepypasta and going along with Geyser’s visions. Together they became absorbed in a shared delusion, known as a folie à deux, leading to tragic consequences.
The two were caught soon after the stabbing, and quickly confessed their crime to baffled police. They wound their way for years through the legal system in Wisconsin. Eventually, they were both found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and sentenced to lengthy terms at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Wisconsin.
Hale’s compassionate look at the case is a compelling yet harrowing read that reveals how a seemingly innocent childhood friendship could lead to such a devastating outcome. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/entertainment/article/Review-Slenderman-chronicles-a-harrowing-17377019.php | 2022-08-16T18:11:48Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/entertainment/article/Review-Slenderman-chronicles-a-harrowing-17377019.php | false | 14 |

Africentric: Nubians embrace potential of freshman-dominated roster
Inside the Nubians
•Coach: Jamell Davis, second season
•Top players: Caleb Anthony (WR/DB), DeAngelo Fuller (RB), Derron Gray (OL/DL), Mekhi Johnson (WR/LB), Kyren Riggins (H-back/LB), Josh Smith (QB/DB), Sean Smith Jr. (OL/DL), Talil Spikes (OL/DL) and Chase Thompson (OL/LB)
•Key losses: Kayden James, Antonie Moss, Kimarrion Ross, Andre Satchell, Will Smith, Kalyn Spence and Dan Wagner
Africentric is staying positive about the hand that it has been dealt following the best two seasons in program history.
In 2020 under former coach Clarence Daniels, the Nubians posted their first winning record and won two Division VI, Region 23 playoff games while finishing 4-2 in a season abbreviated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jamell Davis, who previously had been an assistant at Brookhaven, Beechcroft, Columbus East and Gahanna, was named coach last year after Daniels left to take over at Walnut Ridge and guided Africentric to a program-record win total.
The Nubians’ 6-4 record, which included a runner-up finish (4-2) in the City League-South Division, is something Davis believes helped his program add 27 freshmen despite having the smallest enrollment among the league’s 15 schools.
Those participation numbers are especially important this season, considering there is only one senior and fewer than 40 players total on the roster.
“I haven’t done any research, but I’m pretty sure we’ve probably got the youngest varsity team in the country,” Davis said. “We’ve got one senior, two juniors, about six sophomores and 27 freshmen, but it’s not what people think. I think it’s still going to be a great year. I coached here last year and we had the best record in school history, and this team is better than we were last year at this point.”
The Nubians, like many programs in the City, have been hit with eligibility issues and having other players not returning this fall.
They also have a new defensive coordinator in Terrance Green, who has assisted in other areas with the program. Shawn Harris, another former Brookhaven and East assistant with ties to Davis, also is among those who have joined the coaching staff.
Africentric opens Aug. 20 at home against East and plays its entire schedule against teams from the City-North and City-South as it attempts to earn enough playoff points to make the postseason during its first season competing in Division V, Region 19.
“We did lose some guys to grade issues, but it’s crazy. We’ve got the smallest enrollment football-wise in the City, but having 27 freshmen built off of last year,” Davis said. “They saw what we did. This was probably the first time people came here for football.
“Honestly, I had a harder time coaching older guys before because they had bad habits. But these guys are freshmen, so they don’t have those habits yet.”
New-look Africentric offense to feature athleticism
The Nubians will have a new quarterback in either sophomore Chris Cooper-Patton or freshman Josh Smith, who competed throughout the preseason for the starting job. Smith’s brother, 2016 Africentric graduate Houston Smith, is the all-time leading scorer for the boys basketball program and went on to play for Bethune-Cookman.
DeAngelo Fuller, who competed in the 400-meter relay at the 2021 Division III state track and field meet, should be the top running back.
Junior Mekhi Johnson, who is among those at wide receiver, is the brother of former South boys basketball standout Marcus Johnson and former Africentric girls basketball player and current Pittsburgh women’s player Maliyah Johnson.
Freshman Caleb Anthony is among the team’s top athletes, according to Davis.
The top returnee on the offensive line is sophomore Sean Smith Jr., who should line up at right guard after earning third-team all-state honors last season.
Sophomore Chase Johnson also is a returning starter at left tackle, while the rest of the line should include freshman Nasir Dennis at center, freshman Derron Gray Jr. at right tackle and sophomore Talil Spikes at left guard.
“We’re young, but we’re going to have a good season,” Smith Jr. said. “(Last season was) a good foundation. I just try to help people out around me to get better.”
Linebackers a strength on defense for Nubians
Mekhi Johnson and Kyren Riggins — the only juniors in the program — should lead the defense. Johnson is expected to line up at outside linebacker along with Chase Johnson, with Riggins at inside linebacker.
Smith Jr. figures to anchor a defensive line that should have at least four players rotating in, according to Davis.
Anthony and freshman Darion Matlock are at cornerback, with freshman Te’vion Smith and Josh Smith at safety.
“The greatest thing with the freshmen is that they’re getting experience,” Davis said. “With all the reps they’re getting, they’re growing faster than other freshmen do.”

With the recent passage of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, the U.S. has made the most ambitious push in science-driven innovation in the 75 years since the days of Vannevar Bush’s Endless Frontier report and the creation of the National Science Foundation. Make no mistake: This is a watershed moment in the “new space race” between China and the U.S.
But this funding increase is only the first step. To supercharge America’s innovation prowess, we must build on the good existing aspects of the U.S. innovation system and develop a modern innovation ecosystem that will once again lead the world into the future. Doing so depends on proceeding with three core imperatives in mind.
Cultivate strategic opportunities broadly
Once upon a time, bold declarations in JFK’s moon-shot speech were representative of the climate that extended across the American innovation landscape. Yet more recently, the American innovation system has spent several decades playing small-ball—which has resulted in the so-called “Valley of Death” that continues to kill and/or delay promising early-stage innovations.
This incremental innovation approach has resulted from several trends. Increasingly, we see governments partnering with a narrow set of preferred large corporate partners, often through special contract vehicles meant to fast-track purchasing, but having the cooling effect of pushing out innovative small- and mid-sized businesses. Of course, the largest of public corporations are first and foremost responsive to short-term profit motives to please investors; government funds a wide variety of scientific projects with scant strategic coordination across agencies and at times crowding out innovation. Second, governments are developing new programs and building laboratories to innovate in replacement of commercial efforts. Although we understand the impetus, all too often direct government innovation efforts have led to bloated and slow (and eventually failed) programs concentrating large sums of money on internal efforts and/or “trusted” partners—including, famously, the Langley Aerodrome (among many others).
America must resist both over-dependence on short-term profit motives and over-dependence on sprawling government intervention. Instead, it needs to release pent-up entrepreneurial and patriotic spirit across the country. There need to be incentives throughout the ecosystem for long-term research and technology programs designed to focus on large-scale societal problems and opportunities—in which the potential strategic gains must be considered alongside (or in place of) the financial payback period. Importantly, this is in the best interests of industry just as much as the government: The creation of strategic innovation assets led by entrepreneurial enterprises and pioneering companies comprises the most powerful lever for retaining competitive advantage over the mid- to long-term.
Strengthen the scientific process
To remain the world’s pre-eminent innovator, the U.S. will need to build the deepest possible talent base, and then clear the way for that talent to do its best possible work. Much has already been written about the need to expand access and equity for careers in science and technology—and rightly so. But if we succeed in broadening the bench, what sort of professional levers will this influx of talent have at their disposal? Quite a number of distinguished commentators have lamented that perhaps the funding process, from government acquisitions to innovation programs to academic grant-making, itself is fundamentally flawed and badly in need of overhaul.
An influx of government money, and the creation of new technology directorates, creates an ideal moment for us all to assess whether the system is set up to for the community to do its best work. We might heed the warnings of Vannevar Bush, the architect of our modern government research enterprise: The government’s role is best suited to funding bold initiatives, and empowering companies and universities to perform inspirational work.
Leverage ecosystem-wide data
Supporting the previous two goals is an underlying prerequisite for success in the modern innovation economy: using systematic data to drive insights and transparency. How can we know which strategic bets might bear fruit? How can we assess which innovators are doing the best work? Still today, most innovation partnerships—especially those that bridge industry, academia, and/or government—tend to be among “the usual suspects.” Why? Because even industry leaders and senior officials do not have proper intel around what’s happening in the long tail beyond the brand-name players.
Still today, if you ask leadership at leading corporations, granting agencies, or research institutions, “what’s the future impact of your current innovation portfolio?” you’ll either get educated guesses, or blustering, or polite shrugs. Why? Because very few organizations have assembled the comprehensive data sets and analytics capabilities to return clear answers. If the U.S. is going to achieve moonshots and lead the world in innovation, everyone must do better. Fortunately, the data do exist, and a growing cohort of companies have assembled comprehensive big-data sets and AI-driven analytics capabilities with the horsepower to drive foundational insights at every stage of the American innovation pipeline. But institutions and corporations must be ready to take these nascent advantages and run with them. Throughout the innovation economy, output and quality will improve the more that organizations gain the insights required for strategic decision-making, and build the transparency required for a level and competitive playing field among innovators.
Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines; the new great-power competition for technological supremacy is already afoot. We are entering a new golden age of innovation, in which the need for R&D will accelerate across technology categories and industries. Furthermore, none of the issues mentioned above can be addressed unilaterally by the federal government, even if it tried. Rather, these are whole-of-society imperatives. And the surrounding incentives are already shifting in favor of these imperatives—for academic leaders, industry executives, and policymakers alike. Strategic innovation and technology development are becoming more critical across sectors, and it is in everyone’s best interests to anticipate the changing environment and move proactively. Thankfully, doing so is also in the best interests of America and the world, and in line with the strategic goals of the CHIPS Act.

An Egyptian court on Tuesday sentenced a judge to death for murdering his wife, the judiciary said, in the third high-profile femicide case in the country in two months.
The criminal court decided "to refer the judge who killed TV presenter Shaimaa Gamal, and his accomplice, to the Grand Mufti of Egypt" -- a formality in death penalty cases.
The public prosecutor's office said last month that the judicial official concerned, Ayman Haggag, had been charged over the "premeditated murder" of his wife, along with the accomplice, businessman Hussein al-Gharabli.
Gamal's body had been found in a remote villa in June, nearly three weeks after her husband had reported her missing, following a tipoff from Gharabli, who had confessed to his role in the crime.
The next court hearing, when the approval of the Grand Mufti is expected to be announced, is set for September 11.
The murder of Gamal is the third to have sparked outrage in the conservative North African country in the past few months.
On June 19, college student Nayera Ashraf was stabbed to death in Mansoura, north of Cairo, by a man whose advances she had rejected. A video of the attack was widely shared on social media.
In a highly publicised trial, Mohamed Adel was found guilty after confessing to the crime in court and was sentenced to death.
The criminal court has called for his execution to be broadcast live on television as a deterrent to others.
Earlier this month, a student identified only by her first name Salma was murdered in similar circumstances in Zagazig, north of Cairo.
A man whose advances she had rejected "repeatedly stabbed her with a knife", the prosecution said.
Patriarchal legislation and conservative interpretations of Islam in Egypt have contributed to severely limiting women's rights and creating a culture of violence against women.
"Salma was murdered simply for being born a woman in a misogynist society," one social media user said, as some argued Salma was at fault for befriending her assailant.
"So long as there are sympathisers out there who make excuses for the perpetrators of these crimes, they will continue," said another.
Nearly eight million Egyptian women were victims of violence committed by their partners or relatives, or by strangers in public spaces, according to a United Nations survey conducted in 2015.
The maximum penalty for murder is death in Egypt, which carried out the world's third highest number of executions in 2021, according to Amnesty International.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s chief justice fired all the members of the Public Defense Services Commission on Monday, frustrated that hundreds of defendants charged with crimes and who cannot afford an attorney have been unable to obtain public defenders to represent them.
The unprecedented action comes as Oregon’s unique public defender system has come under such strain that it is at the breaking point. Criminal defendants in Oregon who have gone without legal representation due to a shortage of public defenders filed a lawsuit in May that alleges the state is violating their constitutional right to legal counsel and a speedy trial.
In a letter to the commission members, Chief Justice Martha Walters pointed out that their duty is to “ensure that Oregon provides public defense services consistent with the Oregon Constitution, the United States Constitution, and Oregon and national standards of justice.”
“Unfortunately, it is now clear that it is time to reconstitute the current commission,” she said.
Oregon’s public defender system is the only one in the nation that relies entirely on contractors: Large nonprofit defense firms, smaller cooperating groups of private defense attorneys that contract for cases and independent attorneys who can take cases at will.
But some firms and private attorneys are periodically refusing to take new cases because of the workload. Poor pay rates and late payments from the state are also a disincentive. The American Bar Association found that Oregon has only 31% of the public defenders it needs.
Walters said “systemic change” is called for and that the commission must collaborate with Oregon’s executive and legislative branches and the public defense community “to create a better system for public defense providers.”
The Public Defense Services Commission currently has nine members, in addition to Walters who as chief justice serves as ex-officio permanent member. Walters made the dismissals effective on Tuesday and said that if any members want to serve on a reconstituted commission, they should apply by noon Tuesday.
The commission is an independent body that governs the Office of Public Defense Services and appoints its executive director. Walters told the commission last week that Executive Director Stephen Singer failed to lead the agency out of crisis, the Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The commission considered firing Singer but didn’t.
Commission member Thomas Christ told the newspaper that Walters wants Singer removed and that he believes she “decided to just fill the commission with people who’ll vote the way she wants on that issue.”
Commission member Steven Wax, who was the U.S. Public Defender for the Oregon district for 31 years and is currently legal director of the Oregon Innocence Project, said he is unhappy about the chief justice’s action.
“The commission has been working tirelessly on difficult issues and reforms,” Wax said. “Disagreement is inevitable. I was sorely disappointed to receive the chief justice’s letter.”
The chief justice appoints the commission members and can remove them, according to Oregon law.
“I never anticipated exercising this authority, but this issue is too important, and the need for change is too urgent, to delay,” Walters said.
Todd Sprague, spokesman for the Oregon Judicial Department, said that to his knowledge, the entire commission has never been dismissed before.
Oregon’s backlog has led to the dismissal of dozens of cases.
Jesse Merrithew, an attorney representing plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said being deprived of a lawyer right after an arrest causes problems that are almost impossible to overcome later on, for example in obtaining surveillance video before it is erased that could back up a defendant’s case.
Oregon’s system was underfunded and understaffed before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the backlog grew amid a slowdown in court activity because of safety protocols. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/oregon-justice-fires-panel-due-to-lack-of-public-defenders/ | 2022-08-16T18:27:02Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/oregon-justice-fires-panel-due-to-lack-of-public-defenders/ | true | 43 |
Hucknall man thanks local opticians for saving his sight
Neil Copeland had no idea that when his wife encouraged him to join her for a routine eye examination it would lead to emergency surgery that would ultimately save his sight.
A year prior to visiting their local Specsavers in Hucknall, 41-year-old Neil had been at his brother’s house where everyone joined in a family game with Nerf guns.
Neil recalled: “We were all having a great time but then I accidently got hit in the eye at close range.
“I immediately felt a strange sensation that was like a ‘pop’ in my eye.

"After the initial shock I suffered from intense pain for a few minutes and then it quickly subsided.
"I wasn’t overly concerned at the time and didn’t have any further problems directly after that until I started experiencing floaters and seeing black dots that continued for a couple of weeks.
"My vision seemed fine, and I wasn’t experiencing any discomfort, so didn’t take any action.
Fortunately, Neil’s wife, who was keen to have an eye examination before her upcoming driving test, urged him to come along to the Hucknall branch of Specsavers on High Street last month and also opt for the added reassurance of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) examination.
The OCT machine, which is usually found in hospital eye departments, produces a structural scan of the eye to help detect a range of eye conditions.
Priyen Kotecha, optometrist director at Specsavers Hucknall, said: “I immediately picked up from the OCT scan that Neil was suffering from a retinal tear in his right eye that would have turned into a full retinal detachment had it been left any longer.
Recognising the potential seriousness of Neil’s condition, Priyen made an immediate, emergency referral to the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham where Neil had an
appointment with the ophthalmology team a couple of days later.
He said: “After a series of tests, it was confirmed the retinal tear was too old to be reconnected using laser treatment so an operation was scheduled for the following Monday.
“It all happened so quickly but when you realise the severity of the condition and what could have happened had I not visited Specsavers when I did, it really hit home,’ he continues.
"I’m so glad my wife convinced me to join her for an appointment. If I hadn’t, the outcome could have been very different.
"I’m a lot better now, I’m back at work and my recovery is going well.
"My vision is still a bit blurry and I continue to be under the care of the ophthalmology team with three different types of eye drops to take.
"I’m hoping to be signed off in the next few weeks which will mark less than two months since my first appointment.
"I’m so grateful to Priyen and the whole of the Specsavers Hucknall team, they were all so attentive, caring and reassuring.
"It was a pleasure to visit the store the day after my procedure armed with a huge box of chocolates for them all.
"I wanted to thank them in person for everything they had done for me.”

A monkey at the Zoo to You in Paso Robles called 911 over the weekend, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office.
Dispatchers got a 911 call Saturday night that had disconnected, and tried to text and call back but got no response, according to a Sheriff’s Office social media post.
Deputies were dispatched to the zoo and discovered that no one there had made the call.
They realized that Route, a capuchin monkey, had picked up the zoo’s cellphone from a golf cart and dialed 911.
“As you can tell from these photos, Route is a little embarrassed by the whole thing,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “But you can’t really blame her, after all monkey see, monkey do.”

“Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls,” by Kathleen Hale (Grove Press)
The seemingly senseless stabbing of a young girl by two of her school friends in the Waukesha, Wisconsin, woods in 2014 made international headlines when it became known that the two perpetrators were under the sway of Slenderman, a fictional Internet demon that they had become convinced was real.
But the lurid headlines of the stranger-than-fiction crime missed many crucial facts about the case, which author Kathleen Hale lays out in rigorous step-by-step detail that's the result of seven years of research. For one, the girl that they stabbed survived, although her injuries were severe and her recovery long.
Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, who were 12 when they committed the crime, found Slenderman online on a website called Creepypasta.com, a fan-fiction site that combined amateur horror stories with altered photos and videos. Slenderman struck a chord with the two girls, and they became convinced they had to commit a human sacrifice and then find Slenderman in the woods to live with them. They chose their friend, Bella, for the attack.
Geyser had undiagnosed childhood schizophrenia and had seen colors and visions her whole life, so believing in Slenderman fit in with how she knew the world. Weier had a difficult home life and found an escape in Creepypasta and going along with Geyser’s visions. Together they became absorbed in a shared delusion, known as a folie à deux, leading to tragic consequences.
The two were caught soon after the stabbing, and quickly confessed their crime to baffled police. They wound their way for years through the legal system in Wisconsin. Eventually, they were both found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and sentenced to lengthy terms at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Wisconsin.
Hale’s compassionate look at the case is a compelling yet harrowing read that reveals how a seemingly innocent childhood friendship could lead to such a devastating outcome. | https://www.thehour.com/entertainment/article/Review-Slenderman-chronicles-a-harrowing-17377019.php | 2022-08-16T18:32:46Z | https://www.thehour.com/entertainment/article/Review-Slenderman-chronicles-a-harrowing-17377019.php | true | 14 |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Derrick Henry has been seen jogging on the field with his daughter after practice. Green Bay Packers are once again borrowing kids' bicycles for rides to practice. Fans are rubbing elbows with their favorite players to get those coveted autographs.
Yes, the NFL is looking and acting like it's essentially back to normal going into its third season dealing with COVID-19.
There are no more trailers or tents for testing, and masks are rare. In fact, the protocols devised and tweaked by the league and the NFL Players Association in 2020 and 2021 were suspended last March.
The NFL seems to be following the lead of the CDC, which dropped social distancing and quarantine requirements last week with an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older acquiring some level of immunity from vaccinations or infections.
The league still wants anyone with possible symptoms to speak up and wear a mask after contact with someone with COVID-19. A positive test still means isolating at home for at least five days.
“I think we are always concerned about everybody’s safety, ours and the health of our families,” Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel said, adding that 2 1/2 years into the pandemic: "Hopefully we are past that.”
The biggest changes have been the easiest to notice at training camps across the NFL: Fans are back and close enough to high-five and shake hands with players, no longer kept at a distance and happy to resume preseason traditions.
Players are happy to have fans fully back, grateful for the energy boost during the monotonous routine and long days of camp.
"It’s huge," Packers running back Aaron Jones said. “The fans are everything. They're what makes football go, and I would say this is one of the best traditions in football, the bike rides. I’ve had my same little bike rider since I came in, got to bring my son to practice with me as well, so it’s special to me.”
The Packers were among the teams that allowed fans to watch training camp practices in 2021 at a distance, though no interaction with players was allowed.
Cheers are very welcome after the relative silence the past two years when the only sounds were pads thudding, coaches yelling and occasionally music over speakers to simulate fan noise. Families of players, coaches and team staffers couldn't attend either, preventing them from stealing a few minutes at work with their kids or spouses.
Henry's daughter Valentina, now 2, is the perfect age to enjoy racing her father to an end zone after an early practice at camp. The two-time NFL rushing champ said it's the kind of moment his daughter can look at when older.
“Having these moments are always precious, especially with your kids, but just being in football and training camp it takes up a lot of time,” Henry said. “But any time you get a moment like that, you always cherish those moments and something that we can look back at and laugh at and enjoy.”
Vaccinations eased the protocols from 2020 when teammates had to keep 6 feet apart and coaches wore masks on the field whether in practice or games no matter if teams were inside or outdoors. Titans center Ben Jones said that meant friends sitting apart for breakfast and lunch, making it tough to build team chemistry and camaraderie.
“It made it a lot of challenges for me who’s a guy who’s trying to get five guys on the same page to do it spread out,” Ben Jones recalled. "It’s not what you want. As a guy on the team, as a leader, you want as many guys as close as possible so you can have an impact on them.”
The social distancing signs are gone. So too are the mandatory tests, saving time each morning spent waiting for a positive or negative result.
No NFL regular-season games were canceled the past two seasons because of the pandemic, though many were moved around during 2020 with the entire preseason scrapped. About 95% of the players and nearly 100% of team personnel were vaccinated, the league reported.
The Titans had the first outbreak of the 2020 season, and Vrabel tested positive during the 2021 preseason at the start of another outbreak for the team.
Other professional leagues also are adjusting protocols;
— Major League Baseball dropped regular COVID-19 testing for all but symptomatic individuals prior to the start of the 2022 season.
— The NHL plans no testing for players, coaches and staff without symptoms with locker rooms open to media members. Much like the NBA and MLB, unvaccinated individuals won’t be able to cross the border between the U.S. and Canada, though the NHL only has a couple of players and assistant coaches in that category.
— The NBA hasn't revealed its full policy for the upcoming season. Commissioner Adam Silver said last month he’s expecting continued movement toward normalcy, “I have learned over the last 2 1/2 years not to make any predictions when it comes to COVID, but only to say we’ll be prepared for anything that comes our way.”

A Roof that is in Great Shape Can Help Keep the Temperature and Humidity Inside the Home or Business Stable and Comfortable When the Mercury Starts to Rise
MOORESVILLE, N.C., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The founders of the Mooresville roofing company Ultimate Roofing, Inc. know firsthand how much a roof can impact the safety and comfort of those who live or work inside the home or business.
This understanding inspired them to post a blog that lists the seven reasons why people should get a Mooresville roof inspection.
To learn more, please visit https://ultimateroofinginc.com/7-reasons-you-need-a-mooresville-roof-inspection-before-summer/.
As the blog noted, a roof plays a significant role in keeping the temperature and humidity in a home or business comfortable. In order to ensure that the roof will continue to perform this important task as the temperatures heat up, Ultimate Roofing's roof inspectors are ready, willing and able to check area roofs.
"You can expect to get 20 years or more of service from your roof, with regular roofing inspections and roof repair when needed," the blog noted, adding that Ultimate Roofing works with most types of roofs including asphalt shingles, cedar shake, green shingle, slate tile and wood shake.
Another reason roofs should be inspected before summer is because weather and storm damage is hard to spot from the ground. Roofs are under a great deal of stress, so hiring a professional to get up on the roof and inspect it thoroughly is a wise idea.
"It is easier, and by far cheaper, to perform small repair services during a routine inspection than it is to deploy an entire team on an emergency basis for a complete tear-off and rebuild of a roof that's been neglected for too long and suffers a catastrophic failure," the blog noted.
Ultimate Roofing is Mooresville's roofing contractor of choice, also servicing the greater Charlotte metro area for all sorts of residential and commercial roofing tasks. Whether people need a roofing contractor for a new construction project, spot repairs or tear-offs on existing roof, or a complete rehab of a damaged or aged roof, Ultimate Roofing is here to help.

It may still feel like summer outside, but Oreo is celebrating fall with the return of a cookie flavor we haven’t seen since 2017!
For the first time in five years, Oreo Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Cookies are once again in stores for a limited time. The golden Oreos have a pumpkin spice-flavored creme, which means they’ll make a sweet addition to back-to-school lunches and fall birthday parties.
Or dunk them into a cup of hot pumpkin spice coffee and you’ll officially enter fall mode!
There are dozens of other pumpkin spice treats to shop for this fall as well, like SToK Pumpkin Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Wafers from Voortman’s, Pillsbury Pumpkin Grands and Pumpkin Spice Cheerios, all of which are in stores now for a limited time.
New this year, you’ll also find a pumpkin spice energy drink from the brand Yerbaé. The drink has zero calories and zero sugar, but will still give you a caffeine boost just like a pumpkin spice latte.
You’ll also find pumpkin spice-flavored goodies in Krispy Kreme’s new pumpkin spice doughnut collection, and Dairy Queen’s Pumpkin Pie Blizzard is set to return on Aug. 29.
While Starbucks hasn’t said when the famous PSL will return this year, Dunkin’s fall menu hits stores Aug. 17 and includes a glazed pumpkin cake doughnut, pumpkin doughnut holes, pumpkin muffins and a new Nutty Pumpkin Coffee, which blends iced coffee with a pumpkin spice swirl, a hazelnut flavor shot and cream for a bit of a different take on classic pumpkin flavors.
If you don’t have a Dunkin’ near you, you can still find pumpkin spice Dunkin’ goodies in a new form: Goldfish Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Grahams. Available Sept. 1, the fish-shaped graham crackers will feature the flavors of pumpkin, doughnut glaze, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Are you looking forward to pumpkin spice treats this fall?

FORECAST: Below average and pleasant until the weekend
WEATHER HEADLINES
- A few patches of fog possible overnight
- Below-average temperatures through the end of the workweek
- Storms move back in this weekend
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Clouds will break up this evening, leading to a few patches of fog in select spots overnight. Lows will drop into the 60s by Wednesday morning.
Wednesday is a good-looking day with a mix of sun and clouds alongside a very small pop-up shower chance during the afternoon. Highs will be in the 80s, still below normal for this time of year.
Wednesday night is pleasant and mostly clear with lows in the 60s.
Thursday is an even sunnier and slightly warmer day as high pressure tightens its grip on our weather. Highs will be well into the 80s, but the humidity will be down a touch compared to recent days.
While a few isolated storms are possible on Friday through the heating of the day, Saturday is the day that sees an uptick in scattered storm activity. It’s all thanks to an area of low pressure and an attached cold front that will be diving down toward Indiana from the Upper Midwest.
Expect Sunday and Monday to be the stormiest days of the forecast with the front nearby before storms lessen for the rest of the next workweek.

Three of the world's leading browsers were measured for Phishing and Malware protection with time to block and protection over time as key metrics in test scores.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CyberRatings.org, the non-profit entity dedicated to providing transparency on cybersecurity product efficacy, has published the results of its 2022 Web Browser Security Test. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox were tested for Phishing Protection and Malware Protection running on Windows 10 and 11.
The Malware tests ran for 24 days with 96 discrete test runs. Phishing tests ran for 20 days with 80 discrete test runs. The reports include measurements of protection against fresh new attacks, consistency of protection over time, and how effective the browser protection was overall.
The ability to warn potential victims that they are about to land on a malicious website or click on a suspicious URL puts web browsers in a unique position to protect the user from an attack. Websites that trick users into downloading malware and phishing campaigns often used for criminal activity have short lifespans, so it is essential that the URL is discovered and added to the reputation system as quickly as possible. A good reputation system must be both accurate and fast to achieve high catch rates.
"Phishing attacks pose a significant risk to individuals and organizations by threatening to compromise or acquire sensitive personal and corporate information," said Vikram Phatak, CEO of CyberRatings.org. "Phishing and Ransomware attacks continue to rise year over year. Consumers should not override the warnings offered by their web browser protection but instead take advantage of the free offering."
Key Take-Aways:
- Malware protection:
- Phishing protection:
- Average time to block a URL from malware:
- Average time to block a phishing URL:
The Comparative Test Reports provide detailed results for each product. As a service to the community, CyberRatings.org is providing these reports for free.
The following browsers were tested:

8-year-old known as ‘Mullet Boy’ competes in USA Mullet Championship
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU/Gray News) - An 8-year-old from Wisconsin with a rock-star do is competing for the best mullet in the Kids Division of the USA Mullet Championship.
Emmitt Bailey, also known as “Mullet Boy,” got the chance to show off his hairstyle when he threw the opening pitch at the Eau Claire Express collegiate baseball game this summer.
Emmitt’s father, Eric Bailey, told WEAU that the moment was an important one.
“I’m pretty excited, I mean it’s a big deal,” Bailey said. “The Express are a big deal in the Eau Claire community in themselves, so to have him out there throwing the first pitch is exciting.”
Emmitt not only advanced onto the mound, but also to the top 25 in the Kids Division of the USA Mullet Championship.
“It’s extremely fun to watch the votes, so it started out at, I think there was 600 kids that made the Facebook cut,” Bailey said. “Then they went to 100 and then all of the sudden we were watching the votes and he kept climbing, and climbing, and climbing, and then it went to the 25.”
The 8-year-old said he has been waiting a while to show off his mullet.
“Last year my parents found out about it (USA Mullet Championship), but it already started, so then we did it this year,” Emmitt said.
For Emmitt’s dad, the USA Mullet Championship is all about inspiring people to bring the ‘80s hairstyle back while supporting a good cause.
“Mullets in general, they’ve come back in full force,” Bailey said. “It was $10 to enter and all of the donations are going to the Michigan Wig Foundation for kids.”
The winner of the contest will get $2,500. The Menomonie, Wisconsin, student said he knows how he would spend the prize money,
“Buy a go-cart,” Emmitt said.
Bailey said he and his family are big into racing.
“I told him if he wants a go-cart to start his racing career, by all means dad will help you out with the rest,” Bailey said.
If you are looking to add a little business to the front and party in the back of your hair, Bailey has some fatherly advice.
“It does take some time to grow ‘cause this is two years in the making to get this one, but have fun with it,” he said.
Win or lose, the Baileys said the experience has already been more than they could have asked for.
The final round of voting began Monday, Aug. 15, and will end Friday, Aug. 19. Visit the USA Mullet Championship website to cast your vote for the best mullet.

(NewsNation) — “Every single person” on the “Rust” movie set knows what happened the day cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot, actor Alec Baldwin said in an interview with incoming NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on his podcast.
Speaking on Cuomo’s podcast “The Chris Cuomo Project,” Baldwin said, “The people who are talking the loudest about what happens or speculating about what happened were not on the set of the film.”
“The LA Times, The Hollywood Reporter, they are talking on and on about this,” he said. “The thing that they have in common was no one was there.”
The actor fatally shot Hutchins on Oct. 21 while filming for the movie “Rust.” Director Joel Souza was also wounded when the Colt .45-caliber revolver went off.
Baldwin said in an ABC interview in December that he never pulled the trigger, but an FBI report released this week said otherwise. It concluded that the gun could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.
Baldwin’s lawyer, in a statement to NPR, called the FBI’s findings “misconstrued” and said the gun was in “poor condition.”
Speaking to Cuomo, Baldwin broke down what “fanning a gun” can look like and how that may have contributed to what happened.
“In old Western movies, you would see someone fan the hammer of the gun,” Baldwin said.
If the hammer didn’t lock, and someone pulled it back far enough, it would fire the bullet without someone having to pull the trigger, Baldwin explained.
“The man who is the principal safety officer of the set of the film declared the gun was safe when he handed it to me,” Baldwin said. “The man who was the principal safety officer of the film declared in front of the entire assemblage, ‘This is a cold gun.’ Now, why did he say that if he didn’t know and hadn’t checked? The point is we were told everything was cool and you can relax and we are working with a gun that is safe to rehearse with.”
For Baldwin, there is only one question to ask now: “Who put a live round in the gun?”
“What is likely is that someone who was responsible for one situation or one line of responsibility and the other person — a tandem of the two people — one of them or both were negligent,” Baldwin said.
New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator ruled the shooting an accident after completing an autopsy and review of law enforcement reports. Prosecutors have not yet made a decision about any charges, and police are waiting to receive data from Baldwin’s cellphone before completing the investigation.
Baldwin’s legal team suggested the medical investigator’s report was further proof that the shooting was “a tragic accident” and that he should not face criminal charges.
“This is the third time the New Mexico authorities have found that Alec Baldwin had no authority or knowledge of the allegedly unsafe conditions on the set, that he was told by the person in charge of safety on the set that the gun was ‘cold,’ and believed the gun was safe,” attorney Luke Nikas said in a statement.
Multiple agencies launched investigations into the shooting, and in April, New Mexico workplace safety regulators fined the production company more than $136,000 and outlined a litany of safety failures that took place on the set. There were two misfires on set prior to the fatal shooting, according to the report.
In all his years making movies, Baldwin said he’s never before had “one problem” with these kinds of props.
“Why would anybody believe that I worked in this business for 40 years and that day I decided to play with a gun?” he asked. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
Despite this, Baldwin said there are people who have seized on the opportunity to use the shooting against him.
“We’ve come down to a point where it doesn’t matter what you do. This is something that was a delight to the people who hate my guts politically,” he said, pointing out how former President Donald Trump claimed that Baldwin “may have had something to do with” the shooting. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., even made T-shirts mocking the incident that were sold on his website.
“It doesn’t matter what you do, the ones who are out to get you are out to get you,” Baldwin said.
Reflecting on this “cancel culture,” Baldwin attributed it to social media and the current political climate, especially the “disconnect” between politicians and the average person.
People don’t think politicians “who are bought and owned by the people who put them in office” will listen to them or pass laws in their interest, Baldwin said.
So instead, he said the average person uses “cancel culture, ending your career, saying something that will have some impact” to make their voices heard.
Still, Baldwin, on Cuomo’s podcast, insisted: “I’m not the real victim here.”
“Things for me are going to get better,” he said. “Things for me are going to get cleared up, I’m 1000% confident of that. Nothing’s going to bring this woman back. She died. She has a little boy. This is the real tragedy.”
Hutchins’ shooting death was a reminder of the dangers that can be present on film sets, which have resulted in deaths in the past. Most notably, actor Brandon Lee died in 1993 after he was shot on the set of “The Crow” when a makeshift bullet was mistakenly left in a gun.

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.
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.

I didn’t want to write this post. I thought I was perfectly satisfied with texting friends that “this Kim and Pete news has devastated me” without feeling the need to add my professional byline to those feelings. But my therapist has been on vacation for three weeks, so, here we are.
Honestly, when Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson called it quits, a part of my soul quit, too. And when Kim recently posted what can only be described as a post-breakup slideshow of thirst traps—note that the thigh-high camouflage boots she’s wearing were designed by ex-husband Kanye—I felt the knife of a failed relationship twist deep into my profoundly confused heart.
On the evening of August 5th, I was at a wedding rehearsal party when my partner, who had only quickly glanced at his phone to check the time, nonchalantly broke the news to me with five short words: “Kim and Pete are done.”
I should preface the rest of this by saying that I haven’t historically felt strongly about celebrities who aren’t Taylor Swift. I totally get Davidson’s appeal, but I have always reacted to his dating news with a kind of detached-but-supportive amusement. On the Kardashians, I’m pretty indifferent—I’m happy for Kourtney and Travis; I think it’s nice that Kim enjoys law; memes about Kris outperforming Satan make me laugh.
So when my partner said, “Kim and Pete are done,” I was not expecting to experience the same kinds of sensations—a drop in my stomach, a welling of my eyes, a sense of existential dread—that might otherwise ensue from my partner saying, “You and I are done.” Sorrow presents differently in everyone but, for me, the loss of appetite is the first sign that I am deeply sad. After rehearsal drinks, there was a gorgeous bonfire with peanut butter cup s’mores, and for about 10 minutes, I didn’t want one. I couldn’t believe Kim and Pete were doing this to me.
More than a week later, their breakup has continued to occupy my brain and heart, inspiring a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions: Poor Pete! Pete’s a fuckboy. I hope Kim’s ok! Kim’s a bazillionaire with 200 close family members and an apocalypse-proof compound. What about the kids!? Kim’s kids? No, me! I’m the kid :( Oh my god. Will they get back together? Who’s fault is this, really, though? They seemed so happy.
Why this brief (nine-month) celebrity relationship has shaken me so intensely that I needed to vomit over 600 words about it completely escapes me. Was the break-up just so unexpected? Did I just become attached to the weekly updates about his Kim-themed tattoos (the Aladdin/Jasmine and “my girl is a lawyer” ones really did me in) and absolute adoration for this much older woman with children? Did the folds of my subconscious harbor some secret fawning over their first kiss in an SNL sketch, an undeniably adorable and quirky meet-cute? Was I just thrilled over them being a Scorpio and Libra—an unexpected but exciting and somewhat fated match—thereby proving my embattled lifelong belief that astrology is real and correct? Maybe there are some questions that are never meant to be answered. (My only earnest attempt at an answer is that when they first got together, I thought about how they both lost their fathers at a young age and how that must have bonded them in a very special way—which just shatters my heart.)
So, I don’t know. I’m inexplicably sad that Kardashian and Davidson couldn’t make it work. I’m sad that I feel sad that they’re not together. But, most importantly, I’m sad that Ye is designing thigh-high camouflage stiletto boots. We don’t deserve any of this pain. | https://jezebel.com/why-am-i-still-shaken-by-kim-kardashian-and-pete-davids-1849418452 | 2022-08-16T19:01:30Z | https://jezebel.com/why-am-i-still-shaken-by-kim-kardashian-and-pete-davids-1849418452 | true | 1 |

The NBA won't hold any games on November 8 — Election Day for the 2022 midterms — in an effort to focus on encouraging fans to vote.
"The scheduling decision came out of the NBA family's focus on promoting nonpartisan civic engagement and encouraging fans to make a plan to vote during midterm elections," the league said in a tweet.
The NBA says over the next few months, teams will provide information on their state's voting process and voter registration deadlines in order to help fans make a plan to vote.
The announcement was first reported by NBC News.
Additionally, the Monday before Election Day, the league's 30 teams will play in games to promote civic engagement and to also encourage fans and staff to vote this year.
"It's unusual. We don't usually change the schedule for an external event," James Cadogan, the Executive Director of the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition, told NBC. "Voting and Election Day are obviously unique and very important to our democracy."
This isn't the first time the NBA has taken steps to get involved in voter turnout.
In 2020, the league announced it was converting a number of arenas into polling locations for the presidential election. The decision was part of an agreement to resume games after players staged a walkout in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
NBA star LeBron James also launched an initiative the same year to protect voting rights.

MIDDLETOWN, Del., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WuXi STA, a leading Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), is pleased to announce the groundbreaking for its new 190-acre pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in Middletown, Delaware. First announced in June 2021, this site will be WuXi STA's second facility in the United States, offering expanded capacity and greater flexibility to meet the needs of customers in the U.S. and around the world.
The WuXi STA Middletown site is located in the Middletown Business Center at 1091 Industrial Drive, and the new state-of-the-art facility will create approximately 500 full-time jobs by 2026. Phase I of the new campus will provide formulation development, clinical and commercial drug product manufacturing services for a variety of oral and injectable dosage forms, as well as packaging, labeling, storage and distribution services for clinical trial materials and commercial drug products.
WuXi STA has 12 sites across the U.S., Europe and Asia that offer a range of services and meet or exceed all regulatory standards. Together with three other drug product manufacturing sites in Couvet (Switzerland), Wuxi City (China) and Shanghai (China), this new facility will further enhance the company's global drug production capacity and capabilities.
"The biopharmaceutical industry is part of Delaware's DNA," said Delaware Governor John Carney. "Over the next five years, WuXi STA plans to build a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in one of Delaware's fastest-growing communities, bringing with it good jobs and economic growth. This campus is only possible because of Delaware's world-class, innovative workforce. Thank you to WuXi STA, Middletown Mayor Kenny Branner and everyone who made this project possible."
"The First State continues to be a first-rate destination for businesses looking to innovate and grow," said Senator Tom Carper. "This investment by WuXi STA helps position Delaware as a continued global leader in biopharmaceuticals, further cementing the manufacturing might of one of our fastest growing communities. Delaware's workforce is ready to help build the future of our life-saving pharmaceuticals. This state-of-the-art campus will create good jobs and help fortify our supply chains here at home."
"This biopharmaceutical facility is one most significant private sector investment ever in the Middletown region," said Senator Chris Coons. "I am excited about WuXi STA's decision to choose Middletown for one of their new manufacturing facilities. This isn't just the largest private-sector investment in Middletown's history – it's a defining moment that will bring many more good-paying jobs to Delaware and will further cement the First State as a world leader in biopharmaceutical research and manufacturing. Thanks are due to everyone from Middletown to Dover to Washington who helped us get to this point, whether by making continued investments in NIIMBL, improving our education system from kindergarten to our universities, or ensuring that Delaware workers have the skills manufacturers like WuXi AppTec are looking for."
"As the First State, Delaware has always had a spirit of innovation – constantly seeking new opportunities and ventures that will strengthen our economy and our state as a whole," said Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester. "Today's groundbreaking of the WuXi STA pharmaceutical manufacturing plant represents another step in that spirit of innovation – bringing good-paying jobs to Middletown and strengthening communities throughout Delaware. The state-of-the-art facility will bring 500 full-time jobs over the next several years, growing our state's workforce and allowing us to manufacture more goods domestically - enhancing our economic competitiveness on the global stage."
"We are truly looking forward to our partnership with WuXi STA, as the groundbreaking today marks the kick-off to them making their new home in Middletown, Delaware. WuXi STA will be joining our bustling industrial area, just steps away from Clarios, Datwyler, Amazon and Breakthru Beverage, just some of the companies that have invested in Middletown. When asked by WuXi STA about our business-friendly attitude, these businesses expressed their wholehearted support for how we do business and we couldn't be more excited about WuXi STA wanting to join them, and the Town of Middletown, in our journey together," said Middletown Mayor Ken Branner. Branner added he was thankful for the support of Gov. John Carney and the Delaware Prosperity Partnership.
"I would like to thank our federal, state and local partners in Delaware for their continued support in the establishment of this site," said Dr. Minzhang Chen, co-CEO of WuXi AppTec and CEO of WuXi STA. "WuXi STA continues to increase our capabilities and capacities to better serve our customers through a more robust and reliable supply chain. With our integrated Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO) platform and proven quality system, we look forward to working with our customers to swiftly deliver their innovative therapies to market in order to save lives and improve healthcare for patients."
The WuXi STA Middletown facility is expected to begin operations in 2025.

The World Boxing Council (CMB) announced the death of Rodolfo Martinez Estradaformer Mexican boxer who established himself in the bantamweight during the decade of the seventies. the afternoon of monday august 15 was notified of the loss of the former fighter also known as The Monster of Tepito.
And it is that the rumors of his death began to circulate in the early hours of the morning of August 15, but it was until the WBC confirmed the news. “Once again we have bad news in the world of boxing. The former Mexican world champion Rodolfo Martínez passed away.
A few days after his 74th birthday, Rodolfo Martínez lost his life for reasons that are unknown at this time. Immediately different boxing and sports journalism celebrities lamented the death of the fighter who starred in “the fight of the century”.
Originating from the Mexico Cityparticularly from rough neighborhood of TepitoRodolfo Martinez Estrada born on August 24, 1948, was the firstborn of six children who had Alfonso Martínez and Angelina Estrada, his parents. During his adolescence he showed interest in professional boxing so he approached the Gym Gloria of Tepitowhere he forged his professional career.
Before the age of 18, he debuted in professional boxing, he was the August 14, 1965 when he had his first fight and from then on he began a legacy to Martínez Estrada. Due to his fighting style and the way he began to beat his rivals he got the nickname of the monster of Tepito because throughout his career in the ring he got a record of 44 – 7 – 1of which 35 fights went by way of knockout.
In June 1972, he had his first opportunity to become champion in his category when he faced Octavio Gomez by the band of North American Boxing Federation (NABF for its acronym in English). In that fight he took the victory with a forceful blow that took his rival to the canvas and thus he was proclaimed champion.
Years later, the opportunity arose for him to compete for the WBC belt against Raphael Herreraone of the fights that marked his career because despite his ability with his fists, he did not achieve the task and lost by TKO at round 12, so he could not finish the fight.
That fight held in Monterrey on April 14, 1973 amazed fans of the sport of fists and gloves because it was one of the most dazzling displays of the Mexican fighter since he sent his rival to the canvas on several occasions and he also fell from the same way, but the blunt blow fell until the twelfth roundso that It was considered “the fight of the century”.
Due to the intensity of the first match, for the December 7, 1974 was carried out rematch between Rodolfo Martínez and the Huastaco Herrera. With the background of how both boxers fought, on this occasion the native of Tepito prevailed from the first rounds and ended the commitment by way of chloroform in round four.
From then on he did four successful defenses of his bantamweight title of the WBC, but it was before Carlos Zarate, a member of the Hall of Fame, when he lost the unbeaten record and gave up the belt on May 8, 1976. Later he had other matches but he no longer played in championships. Three years later he hung up the gloves with his official retirement on July 1, 1979.

A 12-year-old Fresno County boy driving his family’s minivan saw his planned road trip cut short when he hit a spike strip laid down by sheriff’s deputies.
He had planned a 200-mile drive from Hanford to Sacramento, where he used to live, said a report from the Fresno County sheriff’s office.
The boy was first noticed around 9:30 a.m. Monday in the Riverdale area, northwest of Hanford. A sheriff’s deputy on patrol saw a cloud of dust ahead of him on the road; when he got to the site, a witness said a minivan had run into a roadside advertising sign and driven off.
When the deputy caught up to the minivan, the driver refused to pull over, the sheriff’s report said. During the pursuit, the boy allegedly ran stop signs, drove on the wrong side of the road and avoided spike strips laid in his path.
About 40 miles after the Riverdale sighting, the driver came across a sheriff’s sergeant laying down another spike strip on a rural road south of Mendota. The boy allegedly swerved toward the officer, then ran over the spikes.
The disabled van stopped about a mile down the road, and the boy was arrested.
He was booked into Juvenile Hall on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft and evading police. Nobody was injured during the pursuit. | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/16/12-year-old-in-minivan-finally-stopped-by-spike-strip-in-fresno-county/ | 2022-08-16T19:06:44Z | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/16/12-year-old-in-minivan-finally-stopped-by-spike-strip-in-fresno-county/ | true | 5 |

Former footballer looks back on her schooldays ban
A teacher and former Wolves player has been reflecting on the popularity of women's football three decades on from a childhood ban.
Lindsey Hobbs was stopped in 1990 from playing competitive school football with boys due to Football Association rules.
She had the ban overturned, and in 2022 has been taking stock of her past, which was recorded more than 30 years ago by BBC Midlands Today.
The public can access the footage and more like it in Rewind, a national archive of videos reflecting 100 years of the BBC.
Ms Hobbs said it made her "proud" to see girls playing football for their school or in the park.
"I've had a tiny influence," she said. | https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/62570493 | 2022-08-16T19:11:25Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/62570493 | true | null |

Why letting kids fight with sticks can help them understand risk
By Paula Goodyer
In Seven Up!, that iconic British documentary tracking the lives of 14 children into adulthood, one particular scene stands out. It’s 1964, the year the series began, and the seven-year-olds race around an adventure playground that resembles a jumble of leftovers from a building site.
What’s remarkable is how reckless their play seems compared with how most seven-year-olds play in 2022. Little kids wrangle long lengths of splintery old timber to build a house; one boy shins up a tall pole that’s already fixed at a height on top of another structure; another wields what looks like a wooden pick axe. No one says ‘be careful!’
It’s a stretch to say that Australia’s playgrounds are doing a U-turn back to that old-school level of risk, but they are offering more ways for kids to challenge themselves. After years of risk aversion, structures for climbing are getting higher and there are more natural features like boulders, rocks and logs for scrambling over or balancing on. Some even have flying foxes – a feature of that playground in 1964.
“It’s a shift that began five years ago with a recognition that risk is an important part of play. Children face a greater likelihood of injury if they don’t learn to handle risky environments,” says Barbara Champion, Executive Director of Play Australia, which has advocated for children’s play since 1914.
“Risky play promotes self-confidence, fitness and resilience and helps kids learn their limits – and although there might be scrapes and grazes, there’s little evidence of serious injury from play in playgrounds in Australia.”
So what counts as risky play?
Climbing, jumping, balancing or rough and tumble play are examples, and they come with a list of benefits, says Dr Helen Little, senior lecturer with Macquarie University’s School of Education.
“Fitness, muscle strength, balance and agility are obvious benefits that come from running, jumping and climbing, but there are others like better spatial awareness or problem-solving that can come from scrambling over boulders or using equipment that offers different levels of challenge rather than going up and down the same ladder,” she says. “Emerging research is also linking adventurous play to a reduced risk of childhood anxiety. When kids have the chance to experience uncertainty it can improve their coping skills and help to lower anxiety.”
Less anxiety in children is also linked to having parents who encourage kids to push their limits in a managed way, she adds – although for some parents, that’s easier said than done.
“We’ve come to see risk as something negative but we need to see it differently. Risky play isn’t about putting kids in dangerous situations, it’s about uncertainty. We need to remove hazards from where children play but we need to provide an environment where they can be challenged,” she says.
So how can parents encourage a healthy level of risk in children’s play and keep them safe? Think twice before you say ‘be careful’ or ‘no’.
“Kids may not know what you need them to be careful about. We need to specify what we want them to do. Like ‘think about where you’re putting your feet’, ‘go more slowly’ or ‘have you got your balance?’ That way you’re equipping them with the skills to appraise what they’re doing,” Little says.
“Before you say ‘no’, think about the situation and ask yourself if it’s really dangerous, what the likelihood of injury is and what will be the gains if they do it. Often when children have an injury, it’s because they’ve misjudged what they’re capable of – but the more we give them feedback, the better they’ll be at assessing a situation.”
There are also ways to put more challenge into backyard play – and that’s where not having perfectly landscaped, even terrain can put kids ahead.
“We try to make children’s play areas safe by keeping them level, but when kids are always on an even surface how do they learn to cope with different terrains?” she asks. “The more we go for manicured outdoor areas, the fewer the opportunities for children to challenge themselves.
“Having grass rather than paving to roll on is good, and maybe some logs or boulders for balancing on or jumping off. If there’s a good tree for climbing, make sure there’s bark mulch under it. It’s also great if kids have access to some loose parts like lengths of timber, crates or old tyres - they can use them to make things or climb and balance on.”
And what if they pick up a stick? It depends what they want to do with it. Running with sticks is off limits because of the potential for injury but a sword fight might be okay if both kids are willing – and they’re far enough apart to ensure it’s stick against stick, not stick against child, Helen Little says.
“When sticks are involved, think about the context, and rather than just saying ‘no’ ask kids ‘what’s the plan?’”

Pharmacies in Safeway grocery stores are expanding the medications and services available over the counter without a doctor’s prescription, thanks to a Colorado law passed last year.
Patients in Colorado can now walk up to a Safeway pharmacy counter without visiting a doctor first to receive oral contraceptives, EpiPens, glucagon, diabetes supplies and treatments for UTIs, cold sores, acne, strep throat, flu and migraines.
“This is about providing access to quality of care for uncomplicated conditions for the public when they don’t have a provider, or it is after hours or on the weekend,” said Nikki Price, director of pharmacy services. “Our team of pharmacists is committed to offering convenient and easy access to diagnostics and treatments for these everyday issues.”
This change comes as a result of Senate Bill 21-094, signed into law in June 2021, which expanded services pharmacists can legally provide in Colorado. Because of this, Safeway said its pharmacies will expand their services at 100 locations throughout the state.
The Democrat-sponsored bill passed unanimously in the state Senate and with a 47-13 vote in the House. Bill sponsors said it would save residents time and money, particularly for those who cannot afford doctor’s visits.
Price said that, since the bill’s passage last year, Safeway pharmacists have undergone additional in-store and classroom training to accommodate the new services being offered.
For these new services no longer requiring a doctor’s prescription, prescriptive services and tests are done within Safeway pharmacy wellness centers. Patients can consult with a pharmacist, get tested, vaccinated and receive medication for treatment all onsite. | https://www.coloradopolitics.com/quick-hits/safeway-pharmacies-expand-over-the-counter-services-amid-new-colorado-law/article_8521a854-1d82-11ed-8567-d367cbd7b5fd.html | 2022-08-16T19:13:40Z | https://www.coloradopolitics.com/quick-hits/safeway-pharmacies-expand-over-the-counter-services-amid-new-colorado-law/article_8521a854-1d82-11ed-8567-d367cbd7b5fd.html | false | 1 |

- Generational Exhibition Brings NFTs, Fine Art and "Phigital" Art to Charlotte -
CHARLOTTE, N.C. , Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Andy Warhol was an American artist, film director, producer and the leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising and celebrity culture of the 1960s and 1970s and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreen, photography, film and sculpture. Warhol (1928-1987) inspired a host of contemporaries; among the most famous of them were Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) and Keith Haring (1958-1990). Together, these artists have inspired generations of emerging artists to push the boundaries of art.
On view September 10, 2022-January 2, 2023, the exhibition Pop to Now: Warhol and His Legacy, developed in partnership with Aktion Art, features select works by Warhol, Basquiat and Haring and follows their influence on pop culture, music, fashion and art through a mix of works on canvas, as well as unique objects and memorabilia from the heady years of the Pop Art movement to today's cultural landscape of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), digital and data-driven art.
The exhibition begins with the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art's iconic Warhol portraits of the Bechtler family, painted in 1973. Celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2023, these family portraits in the museum's collection are complemented in the exhibition by nine other portraits by the founding father of Pop Art, many of them on loan from the personal collection of Warhol's famous muse, Jane Holzer, and in partnership with Kasmin Gallery. Holzer, a film producer, actress and model, was introduced to Warhol by Vogue editor Diana Vreeland in 1964. She appeared in some of Warhol's earliest films and has since become a well-known art collector and real-estate entrepreneur. Her world-renowned collection includes some of Warhol's most important works, as well as works by Basquiat, Haring and an array of contemporary and blue-chip artists. In addition, a collection of memorabilia, including record album covers, commission magazine works, advertisements and limited design fashion items from the period provides these works with a cultural context.
Fast forward to now, and the continued influence of these legendary artists is highlighted through the ground-breaking work of Los Angeles-based contemporary artist ThankYouX, New York-based contemporary artist Kristin McIver and geometric contemporary American artist HEES.
"While we are a museum founded on the celebration of the European modernist moment through our core collection, we are emerging as an institution that seeks to be accessible and of its moment, striving to explore the global legacies of modernism through living contemporary artists," said Todd D. Smith, executive director. "The inclusion of contemporary artists who are working with NFTs gives us an opportunity to introduce Charlotte and our visitors to evolving technology and emerging artists inspired by modern art."
Ryan Wilson, known as ThankYouX, is a pioneer of the digital art age and creator of "phigital" (physical in combination with digital) art. He first gained notoriety on the streets of Los Angeles in 2009 for his large stenciled iconic graffitied tributes to Andy Warhol, signing "Thank You X" underneath in a gesture of anonymous gratitude for Warhol's aesthetic of rebellious integrity. More recently, he has trailblazed the explosive landscape of NFTs, creating both paintings that have NFTs embedded into their canvases, as well as immersive NFTs set to music composed by music pioneer Hans Zimmer. In addition to his NFT work on view, ThankYouX will premiere a unique mural created within the exhibition, designed as a gesture toward his artistic roots, inspired by Warhol.
Kristin McIver's multi-disciplinary conceptual practice includes sculpture, painting, sound and installation. Utilizing devices such as language, light, mixed media and new media, the works explore themes of identity and celebrity within the context of participatory and consumer culture. Her works featured in the exhibition are portraits composed of abstracted data interpretations of Warhol's famous works.
Rounding out the exhibition, Kevin HEES, a contemporary of Basquiat, incorporates acrylic, oil, and paint-stick on canvas and NFTs to portray universal concepts relating to geometry, music, science and numerology. HEES' work is known for his use of colorful circles, geometric shapes and his signature circle and three lines of marks that represent the number seven, symbolic of the ingredients for life and art. His deconstructed styles, raw canvas, use of pastels, literature, poetry, symbolism and spirituality draw upon the immediacy of Basquiat's approach to artmaking and his embrace of music and pop culture.
Pop to Now: Warhol and His Legacy, developed in partnership with Aktion Art, is supported by the Infusion Fund, the City of Charlotte, Foundation for the Carolinas and Bank of America. Additional support provided by the North Carolina Arts Council and the Arts and Science Council.
The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is the only museum in the Southern United States exclusively dedicated solely to European and American Modern Art and its legacies. Capturing a remarkable era of art history from the collection of the Zürich-based Bechtler family, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art collection includes works by some of the most important and influential figures of modernism, including Alexander Calder, Le Corbusier, Edgar Degas, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, Jasper Johns, Paul Klee, Alfred Manessier, Joan Miró, Kenneth Noland, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley, Nicolas de Staël, Andy Warhol and a wealth of other 20th-century notables. The museum, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, prominently features the Niki de Saint Phalle's iconic Le Grand Oiseau de Feu sur l'Arche on its entrance plaza. Located in the heart of Uptown, the Bechtler is a light-filled community space created to inspire and engage first-time visitors and long-term supporters alike.

Katie Piper is rushed into emergency surgery with ‘extreme pain’ in her eye after 2008 acid attack
Katie Piper has revealed she was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation as she thanked her surgeons for their ‘knowledge, expertise and kindness.’
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the presenter, 38, shared how she was left in ‘extreme pain’ on Sunday and her husband noticed a black spot in her eye.
The Loose Women panelist has continued to be plagued by medical issues after suffering horrific injuries to her face, chest, arms and hands, and being blinded in one eye, following a 2008 acid attack, organised by her ex-boyfriend.
Brave: Katie Piper praised her eye surgeon’s for their ‘knowledge, expertise and kindness’ following an ’emergency operation’
Her latest incident resulted in her not being able to tolerate light anymore and as her condition worsened she had to be rushed in to hospital.
She penned: ‘Emergency Operation for me! On Saturday my husband noticed a small black circle in my blind eye, I was excited thinking I had a pupil again.
‘By Sunday my left eye was extremely painful and couldn’t tolerate light, so I patched it up and put it down to old injuries.
‘I’m used to being in some level of discomfort and I went to work.’
‘Emergency Operation for me!’: Katie (pictured on Tuesday) explained, ‘On Saturday my husband noticed a small black circle in my blind eye, I was excited thinking I had a pupil again’
Horrific: Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the presenter, 38, shared details about how she became in ‘extreme pain’ before her doctor ‘sourced tissue and operated on her’ on Sunday
Detailing how the black circle was a hole in her eye she said she had feared of this happening.
She added: ‘By Sunday night I felt nausea and in extreme pain. I got in touch with my eye specialist @sherazdaya @centreforsightuk and unfortunately he confirmed the black circle was a hole in my eye and the eye had perforated.
‘This had always been a fear that it would happen.
She continued: ‘By Sunday night I felt nausea and in extreme pain. I got in touch with my eye specialist and unfortunately he confirmed the black circle was a hole in my eye and the eye had perforated’
‘Yesterday @sherazdaya sourced tissue for me and operated on me. I cannot thank him and his team enough, their knowledge and expertise but also how kind and caring they all are.
‘There maybe some evil people in this world but there are also some pretty incredible people doing amazing things for people on a daily basis.
‘Huge thank you team @sherazdaya @centreforsightuk You are the best!’
Shock injuries: In 2008, at age 24, a corrosive substance was thrown over her, during a terrifying ordeal which left her disfigured
Earlier on Tuesday, on Loose Women Katie told her ‘Life Before Loose’ story, detailing how her world changed after the acid attack which left her disfigured and recalled the abuse hurled at her during her recovery.
Stefan Sylvestre was sentenced to a minimum of six years in 2009 over the horrific assault after he threw acid on the orders of Katie’s obsessive ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch, who co-ordinated the pre-planned street assault outside her north London home in Golders Green.
As well as looking back on the moment that simultaneously changed her life and found her purpose, Katie also spoke fondly of happy childhood growing up in Hampshire, her teenage rebellious years and moving to London.
Talking to panellists Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan and Janet Street-Porter, Katie candidly reflected on how her world changed aged 24.
Before: Katie was living a glamorous life in London before being attacked aged 24
She admitted: ‘When I look back on it and reflect, it does feel like two separate lives. I’m 38, but I sort of feel in my 70s or 80s.
‘Because what’s happened to me, I’ve condensed so much into such a short period, and that happen to some people in their whole lifetime.
‘In some ways you can take that as a positive – life experiences enrich us, they build our character and we can go onto use that in our future, but in other ways it was a lot. It took its toll on me mentally and physically. Some of the physical changes are still ongoing in my medical journey.’
Strong: Earlier on Loose Women Katie told her ‘Life Before Loose’ story, detailing how her world changed after the acid attack which left her disfigured and recalled the abuse hurled at her during her recovery
She added: ‘Nobody prepares for that.. It was like my life was turned upside down in a matter of seconds. Lots of different things happen to people and what’s happened to me is obviously more visual, but we all experience trauma in varying degrees. Trauma’s a fact of life, but it needn’t be a life sentence.’
The sulphuric acid, some of which Katie had swallowed, blinded her in her left eye, and caused partial thickness and full thickness burns.
On how her parents dealt with the situation, Katie said: ‘It was quite complex because when people think of burns, you think of military heroes or burns in the kitchen or fireworks.
‘I don’t think any of us realised how much it affects so many functions and so many other internal medical problems that we had to educate themselves on…
‘It wasn’t an accident that happened to me. A long legal trial, several different charges that the whole family was affected – my siblings, my parents…’
Katie also reflected on why she made her first documentary – Katie: My Beautiful Face – in which she spoke candidly about what had happened to her.
She explained: ‘How people reacted was my motivation to do the documentary because initially I looked very different to how I sit here today, I wore a face mask for two years, I had a shaved head, very purple/red appearance…
Recovery: ‘People reacted by asking me to leave shops, shouting at me in the street. I wasn’t famous, I wasn’t known, people didn’t understand why I wore a mask…’ explained Katie
‘People reacted by asking me to leave shops, shouting at me in the street. I wasn’t famous, I wasn’t known, people didn’t understand why I wore a mask…
‘I wanted to explain people why I looked this way, educate people, relieve myself of that isolation]… I’m not contagious, I’ve not going something which means I need to be rejected from society.’
The presenter also opened up about how Simon Cowell helped her in her journey to set up the Katie Piper Foundation, where she mentors burns survivors.
Katie – who recently received an OBE – said: ‘Taking back that empowerment and having that voice became very important to me….I believe that in life there are some things we’re sometimes out of control, we’re the captain of our own ship. Your life is ultimately in your hands… what a privilege to find your purpose at 24.’
Helping others: The presenter also opened up about how Simon Cowell helped her in her journey to set up the Katie Piper Foundation, where she mentors burns survivor
Elsewhere, Katie reflected on her ‘great’ childhood, growing up in a small village, recalling: ‘I was a tomboy. I had a dreadful haircut – a bowl haircut. My dad was a barber in the local village, and my mum a teacher, so you either had a haircut from my dad or detention from my mother.’
She added, ‘It was innocent, I never had any real pain or trauma at all growing up. My mum and dad were invested in us… They weren’t about big ambitions, but about independence and making your own way in life.’
Speaking about her teenage years, Katie said she was a ‘disappointing’ teenager. She revealed, ‘I grew up in such a small town, I really wanted city life… I rebelled, I was the smoker, the drinker, I used to jump out of the window to go out at night, I pierced my nose… used to dye my hair with food colouring because I couldn’t access hair dye.’
Katie then went on to say she studied a college hair and beauty course, admitting: ‘I wasn’t really academic. It wasn’t because I wasn’t bright, I just wasn’t interested… I was more interested in going out and boyfriends.’
Family: ‘It wasn’t an accident that happened to me. A long legal trial, several different charges that the whole family was affected – my siblings, my parents…’ said Katie of how her family coped (Pictured with her mum in a childhood snap)
Fond memories: Katie also spoke fondly of happy childhood growing up in Hampshire, her teenage rebellious years and moving to London
Aspiring for more, Katie moved to London ‘to seek out a different life’, moving into a house share with actors, dancers, those in theatre, promo girls, which ultimately became the path she took.
She told: ‘It felt exciting, who knew where it may or may not take me? It was more money than I was earning at that time .I worked on shopping telly selling solar panel lights, quiz shows until 4 in the morning, furniture catalogues and adverts,…’
Katie explained that there was ‘a lot of partying around this.’ She said, ‘ Monday-Thursday, clubbing, drinking, eating. I’ve always been a real people person. I’ve always grabbed life and loved glamorous things.’
Katie also revealed she watched Loose Women back then, telling the panel: ‘I always wanted to be in that world and talking on telly, connecting with people, I used to watch Loose Women, I’ve watched it since I was a child. I think Coleen Nolan was back on it, even then!’

Anyone that reads these columns knows by now that I love numbers. Most of these numbers have manifested themselves for baseball. but the idea for football is generally the same. The idea is to determine the likelihood of success. So, sites like Football Outsiders and Pro Football Focus have delved into advanced statistics all to find those players that will be more successful more often.
Everyone has that guy that they know who either made it or almost made it. For me, it is my second cousin. He pitched one third of an inning for the Houston Astros about 15 years ago. He also pitched for team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Generally speaking, if your last name ends in a vowel and you have eaten lasagna at some point in your life then you are eligible for that squad.
It is easy to look at a career minor leaguer and simply call them a failure. The same is true of any of these 90 guys that won’t make the team or the practice squad. Some guys will never leave the practice squad. Do we consider them failures? Obviously, that depends on how you look at things. So, let’s say we look at this through the prism of numbers.
32 teams x 53 players = 1696 players
16 minor league teams = 848 players
9 CFL teams = 477 players
130 Division I Football Teams = 7800
So, if we ignore Division II and III at the college level and ignore the thousands of high school teams we would still see the 1696 NFL players as the top 15 percent of football players in the world. So, guys who are on the practice squad or were one of the last cuts are still amongst the top 25 percent of football players in the world.
As a teacher, these are the kinds of numbers we share with kids all the time. We famously tell them that one percent of high school kids get scholarships and then one percent of those guys get drafted into the NFL. That may or may not be completely accurate, but the numbers aren’t that far off. The odds are just staggering, so the miracle isn’t that some didn’t make it. The miracle is for those that do.
So, Jalen Camp and Johnny Johnson aren’t household names. They were undrafted free agents that are among the top ten percent of football players in the world. They’ve already proven that just by being invited to camp. Their chances of making the team might be pretty slim, but maybe one or both stick as practice squad players. Maybe they don’t.
Yet, for one fleeting moment they were heroes. Johnson caught the winning touchdown against the Saints on Saturday. Camp caught one in the first half. The romantic side of sports is that we can fairly accurately say how often someone will be successful. We can say a basketball player shoots a certain percentage from a certain spot. We can say a pitcher will strike out a hitter a certain percentage of the time. We can say a quarterback will throw so many touchdowns and interceptions. What we can’t say is exactly when these events will happen. We can’t say whether they will come in garbage time or if they will come when the team is down one score in the fourth quarter. Johnson and Camp may never play in a real NFL game. Yet, like my cousin, they will always have that moment they can tell their grandkids about some day. | https://www.battleredblog.com/2022/8/16/23306295/the-value-of-things-the-romantic-side-of-football-houston-texans | 2022-08-16T19:35:08Z | https://www.battleredblog.com/2022/8/16/23306295/the-value-of-things-the-romantic-side-of-football-houston-texans | false | 1 |
Kim Kardashian reckons the Beats earbuds she’s designed are so chic that she could style them with her SKIMS collection.
The wireless earbuds have been given the Kim treatment, with the 41-year-old choosing three neutral shades for her Beats x Kim range.
The collaboration came about after the reality TV star, a longtime fan of the Apple-owned product, commissioned an artist to paint her own Beats.
Realizing she was onto something, she went straight to brand bosses with an idea to bring out her own line that reflected her personal tastes.
“Traditionally, most consumer electronics are in the default colors of black and white,” she explained to Vogue. “But I wanted to incorporate universal neutrals that are core, as headphones truly are wearable tech accessories.
“This collection is really for people who appreciate a head-to-toe monochromatic or minimalist look. I’ve been wearing them with pretty much everything because they fit into so many aspects of my day – leggings and joggers when I’m out running errands or loungewear when I’m studying. I could even style them with Skims; they’re that chic!”

Inaccurate maps are delaying the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's broadband funding:
Nearly nine months after Congress passed President Biden's $1 trillion infrastructure bill, the federal government has yet to allocate any of the $42.5 billion in funding the legislation set aside for expanding broadband service in underserved communities, according to The Wall Street Journal. Under the law, the Commerce Department can't release that money until the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes new coverage maps that more accurately show homes and businesses that don't have access to high-speed internet.
Inaccurate coverage data has long derailed efforts by the federal government to address the rural broadband divide. The previous system the FCC used to map internet availability relied on Form 477 filings from service providers. Those documents have been known for their errors and exaggerations. In 2020, Congress began requiring the FCC to collect more robust coverage data as part of the Broadband DATA Act. However, it wasn't until early 2021 that lawmakers funded the mandate and in August of that same year that the Commission published its first updated map.
Following a contractor dispute, the FCC will publish its latest maps sometime in mid-November. Once they're available, both consumers and companies will a chance to challenge the agency's data. As a result of that extra step, funding from the broadband plan likely won't begin making its way to ISPs until the end of 2023, according to one analyst The Journal interviewed.

An infamous radio message from Ross Brawn helped bring Michael Schumacher’s true driving ability at the 1998 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Michael Schumacher was 16 points behind McLaren’s Mika Hakkinen going into the Hungarian Grand Prix. To add fuel to the fire, the McLaren duo of Hakkinen and David Coulthard locked the front row.
The German driver could only qualify third on the grid ahead of Jordan’s Damon Hill and teammate Eddie Irvine. What happened next is a strategic masterstroke by Ross Brawn.

A race the McLaren drivers were poised to win
Ferrari planned a two-stop strategy before like every other team on the grid. During the first few laps of the race, Hakkinen and Coulthard did not change place and it looked like a smooth race for McLaren.
Going into the 28th lap of the race with all teams making their first pit stop, Hakkinen was four seconds ahead of Coulthard. However, due to a mechanical issue, the Finnish’s lap time decreased.
Still, nothing to worry about for McLaren as his British teammate Coulthard did all he could to slow down Schumacher from overtaking.
19 Laps of blistering pace by Michael Schumacher
That is right when Ross Brawn played the masterstroke from his book of strategies. Ferrari went for a third pitstop on lap 42 with one of the most famous radio messages ever.
Ross Brawn said the following: “Michael [Schumacher], you have 19 laps to pull out 25 seconds. We need 19 qualifying laps from you.” To which the German responded with a ‘thank you.’
Schumacher would go on to drive like the final minute of the qualifying session. The gap between the German and Hakkinen from lap 52 went from 11 seconds to 26 seconds by lap 62.
The seven times world champion won the race 9 seconds ahead of David Coulthard and over a minute ahead of third place Jacques Villeneuve.

Girl missing since 2019 was murdered in New Hampshire, remains not found: Police
(MANCHESTER, N.H.) — Authorities have determined that Harmony Montgomery, a little girl who disappeared in 2019, was murdered in Manchester, New Hampshire, in early December 2019, officials announced Thursday.
Harmony would be 8 years old if alive today.
Harmony's remains have not been found but "multiple sources of investigative information, including biological evidence," led to the conclusion that she's dead, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said at a news conference.
The missing persons case is now a homicide investigation, he said.
"Our investigators will continue to seek justice and look into the circumstances of Harmony's murder and search for her remains," Formella said.
"I'm beyond saddened," Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg said.
"There have been many discussions, speculations and questions relative to where the system failed Harmony, and I myself continue to share the same concerns and still have many remaining questions," he said. "However, the homicide of this little girl rests with the person or persons who committed this horrific act. The Manchester Police Department will do everything within the limits of the law to ensure that the responsible person or persons for the murder of Harmony are brought to justice."
Aldenberg said he believes "there are people out there in the community that have information about this investigation who have yet to come forward.
"If you are that person, I implore you to do so now and come forward," he said. "Do it for this little girl."
Aldenberg urged anyone with information to call the tip line at 603-203-6060.
The attorney general and police chief did not take questions from the media at Thursday's news conference. No suspect was named.
Harmony's mother, Crystal Sorey, had custody of her until 2018, according to a state report released in February. In 2019, a Massachusetts court ordered Harmony be sent to live with her father, Adam Montgomery, in New Hampshire, state officials said.
Harmony's last confirmed home was in Manchester with her father, her stepmother Kayla Montgomery, and her two half-siblings, according to state officials.
Sorey said the last time she saw Harmony was via FaceTime in spring 2019, officials said.
In July 2019, an anonymous call was made to New Hampshire’s Division for Children, Youth and Families alleging that in a visit a week earlier, he or she saw Harmony "had a black eye that Adam Montgomery admitted to causing," the report said. The same day as the anonymous call, a case worker visited and didn’t see a black eye on Harmony, the report said.
One week later, that same case worker noted a red mark and faded bruising under Harmony’s eyelid, and both Harmony and Adam Montgomery told the worker the mark was from being hit by a toy while playing, the report said.
In subsequent visits to the home, "the children appeared happy and healthy," the report said. In the last visit, in October 2019, case workers found the abuse allegations unfounded, but added, "the situation was scored high risk for future child welfare involvement pursuant to the Risk Assessment tool citing the history of substance use, prior family history with child protection, and economic challenges," according to the report.
In January 2020, Adam Montgomery told the child protective services worker that Harmony had been living in Massachusetts with her mother since Thanksgiving 2019, the report said. The worker left a voicemail with Sorey to confirm Harmony lived there, but never heard back, the report said.
In September 2021, someone close to Harmony’s mother contacted the Division for Children, Youth and Families with concerns, and the agency determined Harmony had never been registered for school in Manchester, the report said.
The Division for Children, Youth and Families then searched for Adam and Kayla Montgomery.
When police found Adam Montgomery in December 2021, he gave the authorities "contradictory and unconvincing explanations of Harmony’s whereabouts," the report said. Adam Montgomery allegedly told police Harmony's mother had picked her up, even though Kayla Montgomery told police that Adam Montgomery told her he drove Harmony back to her mother on the day after Thanksgiving 2019, according to the report.
At that point, the investigation became a missing child case, the report said.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — For the second year in a row, Arizona and Nevada will face cuts in the amount of water they can draw from the Colorado River as the West endures an extreme drought, federal officials announced Tuesday.
The cuts planned for next year will force states to make critical decisions about where to reduce consumption and whether to prioritize growing cities or agricultural areas.
The cuts will also place state officials under renewed pressure to plan for a hotter, drier future and a growing population. Mexico will also face cuts.
“We are taking steps to protect the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River for their lives and livelihoods,” said Camille Touton, commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation.
The river provides water across seven states and in Mexico and helps feed an agricultural industry valued at $15 billion a year. Cities and farms are anxiously awaiting official estimates of the river's future water levels that will determine the extent and scope of cuts to their water supply.
That's not all. In addition to those already-agreed-to cuts, the Bureau of Reclamation said Tuesday that states had missed a deadline to propose at least 15% more cuts needed to keep water levels at the river's storage reservoirs from dropping even more.
For example, officials have predicted that water levels at Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, will plummet further. The lake is currently less than a quarter full.
“The states collectively have not identified and adopted specific actions of sufficient magnitude that would stabilize the system," Touton said.
After putting last year’s burden on the agricultural industry, Arizona officials will have to decide whether to spread additional pain to growing cities that rely on the river.
The cuts are not expected to have a tangible effect on Nevada, which has already implemented the region’s most aggressive conservation policies, including grass bans and rebate programs.
While the Bureau of Reclamation is “very focused on just getting through this to next year," any cutbacks will likely need to be in place far longer, said University of Oxford hydrologist Kevin Wheeler.
“It’s pretty clear that these reductions just have to stay in place until the drought has ended or we realize they actually have to get worse and the cuts have to get deeper,” he said.
The cuts are based on a plan the seven states as well as Mexico signed in 2019 to help maintain reservoir levels.
Under that plan, the amount of water allocated to states depends on the water levels at Lake Mead. Last year, the lake fell low enough for the federal government to declare a first-ever water shortage in the region, triggering mandatory cuts for Arizona and Nevada as well as Mexico in 2022.
Officials expect the falling lake levels to trigger additional cuts to Nevada, Arizona and Mexico next year. States with higher priority water rights are not expected to see cuts.
Reservoir levels have been falling for years — and faster than experts predicted — due to 22 years of drought worsened by climate change and overuse of the river.
Scorching temperatures and less melting snow in the spring have reduced the amount of water flowing from the Rocky Mountains, where the river originates before it snakes 1,450 miles (2,334 kilometers) southwest and into the Gulf of California.
Already, extraordinary steps have been taken this year to keep water in Lake Powell, the other large Colorado River reservoir, which sits upstream of Lake Mead and straddles the Arizona-Utah border. Water from the lake runs through Glen Canyon Dam, which produces enough electricity to power between 1 million and 1.5 million homes each year.
After water levels at Lake Powell reached levels low enough to threaten hydropower production, federal officials said they would hold back an additional 480,000 acre-feet (more than 156 billion gallons or 592 million cubic meters) of water to ensure the dam could still produce energy. That water would normally course to Lake Mead.
Under Tuesday’s reductions, Arizona will lose slightly more water than it did this year, when 18% of its supply was cut. In 2023, it will lose an additional 3%, an aggregate 21% reduction from its initial allocation.
Mexico will lose 7% of the 1.5 million acre-feet it receives each year from the river. Last year, it lost about 5%. The water is a lifeline for northern desert cities including Tijuana and a large farm industry in the Mexicali Valley, just south of the border from California’s Imperial Valley.
Nevada also will lose water — about 8% of its supply — but most residents will not feel the effects because the state recycles the majority of its water used indoors and doesn't use its full allocation. Last year, the state lost 7%.

President Joe Biden will sign Democrats’ landmark climate change and health care bill on Tuesday, delivering what he has called the “final piece” of his pared-down domestic agenda, as he aims to boost his party’s standing with voters less than three months before the midterm elections.
The legislation includes the most substantial federal investment in history to fight climate change — some $375 billion over the decade — and would cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 out-of-pocket annually for Medicare recipients. It also would help an estimated 13 million Americans pay for health care insurance by extending subsidies provided during the coronavirus pandemic.
The measure is paid for by new taxes on large companies and stepped-up IRS enforcement of wealthy individuals and entities, with additional funds going to reduce the federal deficit.
The House on Friday approved the measure on a party-line 220-207 vote. It passed the Senate days earlier with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking a 50-50 tie in that chamber.
Biden is set to sign the bill during a small ceremony in the State Dining Room of the White House, sandwiched between his return from a six-day beachside vacation in South Carolina and his departure for his home in Wilmington, Delaware. He plans to hold a larger “celebration” for the legislation on Sept. 6 once lawmakers return to Washington.
Explainer: What you need to know about the Inflation Reduction Act
The signing caps a spurt of legislative productivity for Biden and Congress, who in three months have approved legislation on veterans’ benefits, the semiconductor industry and gun checks for young buyers. The president and lawmakers have also responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and supported NATO membership for Sweden and Finland.
With Biden’s approval rating lagging, Democrats are hoping that the string of successes will jump-start their chances of maintaining control in Washington in the November midterms. The 79-year-old president aims to restore his own standing with voters as he contemplates a reelection bid.
The White House announced Monday that it was going to deploy Biden and members of his Cabinet on a “Building a Better America Tour” to promote the recent victories, though the administration has yet to announce specific travel by the president.
“In the coming weeks, the President will host a Cabinet meeting focused on implementing the Inflation Reduction Act, will travel across the country to highlight how the bill will help the American people, and will host an event to celebrate the enactment of the bill at the White House on September 6th,” the White House said in a statement.
Republicans say the legislation’s new business taxes will increase prices, worsening the nation’s bout with its highest inflation since 1981. Though Democrats have labeled the measure the Inflation Reduction Act, nonpartisan analysts say it will have a barely perceptible impact on prices.
The measure is a slimmed-down version of the more ambitious plan to supercharge environment and social programs that Biden and his party unveiled early last year.
Biden’s initial 10-year, $3.5 trillion proposal also envisioned free prekindergarten, paid family and medical leave, expanded Medicare benefits and eased immigration restrictions. That crashed after centrist Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said it was too costly, using the leverage every Democrat has in the evenly divided Senate.
Still, Biden and Democrats are hailing the legislation as a once-in-a-generation investment in addressing the long-term effects of climate change, as well as drought in the nation’s West.
The bill will direct spending, tax credits and loans to bolster technology like solar panels, consumer efforts to improve home energy efficiency, emission-reducing equipment for coal- and gas-powered power plants, and air pollution controls for farms, ports and low-income communities.
Another $64 billion would help 13 million people pay premiums over the next three years for privately bought health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Medicare would gain the power to negotiate its costs for pharmaceuticals, initially in 2026 for only 10 drugs. Medicare beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket prescription costs would be limited to $2,000 annually starting in 2025, and beginning next year would pay no more than $35 monthly for insulin, the costly diabetes drug. | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-politics/article-biden-to-sign-landmark-climate-change-and-healthcare-bill/ | 2022-08-16T19:50:15Z | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-politics/article-biden-to-sign-landmark-climate-change-and-healthcare-bill/ | false | 30 |

Judge rejects plea agreements in submarine secrets sale case
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Navy nuclear engineer and his wife withdrew their guilty pleas Tuesday in a case involving an alleged plot to sell secrets about American nuclear-powered warships after a federal judge rejected plea agreements that had called for specific sentencing guidelines.
Jonathan and Diana Toebbe of Annapolis, Maryland, pleaded guilty in February in federal court in Martinsburg, West Virginia, to one count each of conspiracy to communicate restricted data.
The sentencing range agreed to by lawyers for Jonathan Toebbe had called for a potential punishment between roughly 12 years and 17 years in prison. Prosecutors said Tuesday that such a sentence would be one of the most significant imposed in modern times under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Prosecutors also sought three years for Diana Toebbe.
U.S. District Judge Gina Groh said that while she generally honors plea agreements, in this case she said the sentencing options were “strikingly deficient” considering the seriousness of the charges.
Groh said the act to which the couple pleaded guilty was done “for selfish and greedy reasons, but could have caused great harm” to the Navy and others.
“I don’t find any justifiable reasons for accepting either one of these plea agreements,” Groh said.
Wearing orange jail jumpsuits and seated at separate tables, the couple then separately withdrew their guilty pleas, leading Groh to set a trial date for Jan. 17.
Prosecutors said Jonathan Toebbe abused his access to top-secret government information and repeatedly sold details about the design elements and performance characteristics of Virginia-class submarines to someone he believed was a representative of a foreign government but who was actually an undercover FBI agent.
Diana Toebbe, who was teaching at a private school in Maryland at the time of the couple’s arrest last October, was accused of acting as a lookout at several prearranged “dead-drop” locations at which memory cards containing the secret information were left behind.
The memory cards were devices concealed in objects such as a chewing gum wrapper and a peanut butter sandwich. The couple was arrested after he placed a memory card at a dead drop location in Jefferson County, West Virginia.
None of the information was classified as top secret or secret, falling into a third category considered confidential, according to testimony Tuesday.
The FBI has said the scheme began in April 2020, when Jonathan Toebbe sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government and wrote that he was interested in selling to that country operations manuals, performance reports and other sensitive information. He included in the package, which had a Pittsburgh return address, instructions to his supposed contact for how to establish a covert relationship with him, prosecutors said.
That package was obtained by the FBI in December 2020 through its legal attaché office in the unspecified foreign country. That set off a monthslong undercover operation in which an agent posing as a representative of a foreign country made contact with Toebbe, ultimately paying $100,000 in cryptocurrency in exchange for the information Toebbe was offering.
Jonathan Toebbe, who held a top-secret security clearance through the Defense Department, had agreed as part of the plea deal to help federal officials with locating and retrieving all classified information in his possession, as well as the cryptocurrency paid to him.
The country to which Jonathan Toebbe was looking to sell the information has not been identified in court documents and was not disclosed in court.
FBI agents who searched the couple’s home found a trash bag of shredded documents, thousands of dollars in cash, valid children’s passports and a “go-bag” containing a USB flash drive and latex gloves, according to court testimony last year.
During a December 2021 hearing, Diana Toebbe’s lawyers denied prosecution assertions that cited 2019 messages exchanged by the couple in which she had contemplated fleeing the United States to avoid arrest. Instead, the defense said it was contempt for then-President Donald Trump as the reason behind the couple’s emigration plans.
