Tensions have been running high in a rural Iowa town after its local library showcased a children’s book about the slain gay rights advocate Harvey Milk, sparking a nasty campaign involving homophobic letters posted on officials’ doors and a contentious town meeting filled with baseless accusations of child grooming.
The furor kicked off when the Logan Public Library showcased the children’s book Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag by Rob Sanders for Pride Month in June. The seemingly innocuous display lit an anti-LGBTQ+ match for some Logan-area residents.
Homophobic letters began appearing on residential doors of library board members and town officials, including Mayor Clint McDonald, Logan City Clerk Marilyn Keizer told The Daily Beast Tuesday.
The five-page letter, obtained by The Daily Beast, read, “Please weigh the consequences of your decision to display this book… The American Library Association clearly has an agenda to push homosexual ideas… There are no resources on exiting the homosexual lifestyle—only ridicule of them.”
The letter also repeated common homophobic falsehoods about homosexuality being linked to pedophilia, same-sex intercourse, promiscuity, and a cause of mood and anxiety disorders, alongside photos from a children’s drag queen story hour at an unidentified library.
Then in an Aug. 10 Facebook post, the library was forced to push back on rumors rapidly spreading about the library’s alleged agenda.
“We have NO PLANS to host a ‘Drag Queen Story Time’ or any related programming. We never have,” the post read. “We have added NO MATERIALS regarding specifically LGBTQIA+ or gender identity related topics since our current director assumed her position.”
Logan Public Library Director Kate Simmons said the Harvey Milk book had been in the library since 2018 with no objections before June.
“The reality of what is happening in our town is a lot of lies and rumors and gossip that have gotten out of hand,” she told The Daily Beast Tuesday. “The public forum was to give people a chance to speak their mind.”
That public forum took place on Monday night at the library board’s regular meeting, and locals did not hold back from speaking their minds.
Former Logan Public Library director Jennifer Joy Andregg, who resigned on July 9 for unclear reasons, demanded the library change the way it targets books towards children, a move she felt would help ensure children’s safety.
Other community members echoed Andregg’s sentiments.
“I think we have to make a distinction between having (LGBTQ+) resources available and promoting them,” one community member said, according to local outlet KETV Omaha. “And when you put something up in a prominent position in the library you are promoting it.”
Another community member argued it was not up to libraries to promote certain books. “It's a slippery slope,” the person said. “And I believe that you could read whatever you want to read, that's fine, but it is the parents’ role.”
But local author Kailee Coleman countered the calls for censorship, telling attendees she wrote her children’s book And That’s Their Family! to teach kids about diverse families like those with two mothers or two fathers, or children who are raised by grandparents, step-parents, foster parents, or aunts and uncles.
In a very “Phoebe from Friends” sort of way, the book started as a song that she posted on TikTok, Coleman later told The Daily Beast. But she said she soon realized the need to extend the conversation about inclusion in her small Iowa town, which she said tends to operate in a closed-minded bubble.
“It’s a song that I wrote…to teach my daycare kids about different family structures because we're in rural Iowa,” Coleman said. “And we don’t see all sorts of diversity.”
Following Monday’s board meeting, Andregg posted a Facebook video demanding the library ban drag queen children’s programming or “children’s displays focused on sexuality,” and proposed a policy regarding the priority in which books should be ordered for the library.
In the video, she seemingly equated drag queens to sex offenders, and implied members of the LGBTQ+ community had mental disorders.
“The whole point of this policy is that we don’t want things getting slipped by us, things the board would never have approved of,” she said before recalling the horror of someone once asking the sexual orientation of her 13-year-old child.
“Which is basically saying, ‘Who do you want to have intercourse with?’” Andregg said, minimizing the concept of sexual identity. “I don’t want my 13-year-old asked that question. And then when she doesn’t know, they call her asexual, and she’s not. She’s a normal, healthy child.”
Andregg did not address the removal of the Harvey Milk children’s book or what is considered appropriate reading material for kids in an emailed comment to The Daily Beast Tuesday. Instead, she provided comments on an unrelated proposal she mentioned during the board meeting about improving the library’s process of obtaining books.
Simmons told The Daily Beast that the library had no intention of hosting a drag queen hour and that most of residents’ concerns over LGTBQ+ material were completely blown out of proportion. She said there is already a process for challenging library books, too.
“To request removal, or any change…there's a form. ...It comes with the library's mission and our collection development policy,” Simmons said.
She said a form has to be submitted on a challenged book, the board reviews the book, the person who submitted the complaint has the opportunity to explain their disapproval of the book, and then the board votes on it.
As of Tuesday, the children’s book on Harvey Milk has not been removed from the Logan Public Library.
“The library board decided over a month before the meeting that they would follow the law and keep the book,” Andregg said. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/rural-iowa-town-of-logan-tears-itself-apart-over-librarys-harvey-milk-book?source=articles&via=rss | 2022-08-16T23:31:23Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/rural-iowa-town-of-logan-tears-itself-apart-over-librarys-harvey-milk-book?source=articles&via=rss | false | 2 |

CINCINNATI — Noah Syndergaard won for the second time in three starts since being traded to Philadelphia, and Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs as the Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 on Monday night.
Syndergaard (7-8) allowed three earned runs through seven innings. The 29-year-old right-hander was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels at the trade deadline.
“Good delivery, just attacking the zone, that’s really it,” Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said. “His stuff keeps getting better. He gave up some hits, but he really limited the damage. Sosa made two tremendous plays.”
Michael Papierski put the Reds ahead with a two-run single in the second, but Syndergaard allowed just three hits over the next five innings.Syndergaard threw 24 first-pitch strikes to 28 batters with only 16 balls.
“A scout came to my house when I was 17 years old and asked me what the most important pitch in baseball is, not fastball, changeup, it’s strike one,” Syndergaard said. “That’s something I take great pride in. I feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be at. I have a lot of confidence.”
Sosa’s two-run single highlighted a three-run third for the Phillies. He also had an RBI double in the fifth. Those runs came as a relief for the Phillies, who scored one run while losing two of three to the Mets at Citi Field.
“The reality is the Mets have a pitching staff comparable to anyone in the league,” Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos said. “When pitching is good, hitting is really hard. (Tonight) reassured what we all know, how good of an offensive team we really are.”
Jake Fraley led off the eighth with a solo homer, his fourth of the season, and Syndergaard was done after 77 pitches. Seranthony Dominguez notched his ninth save in 10 chances with a 1-2-3 ninth.
Reds starter Mike Minor (1-10) became the first Reds pitcher to start in 10 straight losses since Homer Bailey in 2018.
Syndergaard owned a 2.11 career ERA against Cincinnati coming in, his lowest against any team he has faced at least five times.
“He got a lot of first pitch outs,” Reds manager David Bell said. “It made it easier on him. He really pounded the strike zone. We hit some balls hard right at guys, but that’s not taking anything away from him.”
WELCOME BACK
Castellanos who was an All-Star with the Reds last season, returned to Cincinnati for the first time since signing as a free agent with the Phillies in March. He went 1 for 5 with an RBI.
Bell presented Castellanos with the Reds’ 2021 most valuable player award during a pregame ceremony.
“I didn’t have (a ceremony) when I went back to Detroit and I was there for six years,” Castellanos said. “The fact that I’m getting one here after spending a year and 60 games here, it means a lot.”
BRYCE BATS
Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper posted an Instagram story of himself taking swings during a BP session at Citizens Bank Park on Monday, and Thomson confirmed the 60-swing session went well. “I just texted him and he said he feels great,” Thomson said.
It was the first time Harper has swung a bat since having his left thumb fractured by a Blake Snell pitch on June 25. Harper will have another batting practice session on Wednesday and hit off a high-speed pitching machine. There is no timetable for him to begin a rehab assignment.
UP NEXT
Phillies RHP Kyle Gibson (7-5, 4.29) will face the Reds for the first time, and RHP T.J. Zeusch (0-1, 13.50) will make his second career start for Cincinnati.

California could see flooding ‘unlike anything seen before,’ experts warn
Published: Aug. 16, 2022 at 4:55 PM MDT|Updated: 45 minutes ago
(CNN) - A new study says megafloods could turn California’s lowlands into a “vast inland sea.”
The study by Science Advances showed climate change has already doubled the chances of a disastrous flood in California in the next four decades.
The warning comes to a state already plagued by earthquakes and record-setting drought.
Experts predict catastrophic floods “unlike anything seen before” could hit California’s central valley, which includes Fresno, Bakersfield and Sacramento.
According to the study, historic flooding could impact millions of people.
Experts said “once in a lifetime” floods have already happened in the state, but climate change continues to supercharge heavy rain events.

MUSKEGON COUNTY, Mich. — 13 ON YOUR SIDE has documented four road rage incidents involving guns since roughly mid-July.
Weapons or no weapons, however, tempers boiling over on the freeway remains a dangerous problem.
While this latest act didn’t involve a gun, the West Michigan driver on the receiving end of another driver’s aggression said he worried for his family’s safety.
David Stoffer and his family were recently on their way back from the lake, navigating summer traffic on the freeway.
“There were a few cars,” Stoffer recalled. “I was in the left lane with a few other cars.”
As the lanes narrowed at the entrance to a work site, Stoffer said he went into a maneuver commonly called a ‘zipper merge,' as the signs approaching the construction zone instructed drivers to use both lanes.
“It seemed like he didn't want me to go in,” he said. “Essentially I got in, and then he started honking the horn and flipping me off. This guy was very angry.”
Stoffer’s pregnant wife and three kids were in the car.
He says the driver tailgated the family for about 20 miles, only inches from his bumper.
“This guy seems dangerous,” Stoffer said. “He clearly wanted some sort of confrontation.”
Just as its name implies, the ‘zipper merge’ is frequently employed when one or more lanes is obstructed and involves drivers taking turns entering the open lane—like a zipper.
Experts agree the method is one of the most effective techniques in the playbook to keep traffic flowing smoothly through work zones.
"Human behavior is very difficult to engineer for," John Richard, MDOT spokesperson explained. "The number one safety feature in any vehicle is the driver."
“I get that it's annoying having people merge… But we're both on the road together trying to get through this construction,” Stoffer said.
Stoffer said he managed to escape to the safety of an exit before the situation could take a turn for the worse.
He said he called State Police and walked them through what happened.
“I just let them know that, you know, can we have maybe more signage? Can we have more education? Maybe even enforcement on people who are trying to act as citizen police officers,” Stoffer explained.

The display is part of the "Rolling Glory" traveling 13-flag tribute to the 13 soldiers, sailors and Marines who were killed in the attack.
A 13-flag tribute to the U.S. soldiers, sailors and Marines killed a year ago at the Kabul airport during the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan went on display Tuesday at Museum of the Albemarle.
The display is part of “Rolling Glory,” a traveling tribute to the 13 service members killed when terrorists detonated a suicide bomb at an entrance to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Aug. 26, 2021.
The bombing occurred during the final days of the frantic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Islamic State-Khorasan Province took responsibility for the attack, which killed a total of 183 people, including 170 Afghans.
Escorting the flags to Museum of the Albemarle were members of the Patriot Guard Riders, led by Roy Hankinson. The members lined up side-by-side at the top of the stairs at the museum entrance, each holding a flag and a photo of one of the fallen service members. Another member stood with a Betsy Ross flag.
The flags paid tribute to the “13 heroes who valiantly gave their lives during a cowardly suicide attack” in Kabul, Hankinson said.
Hankinson, who is the northeast North Carolina assistant state captain for the Patriot Guard Riders, explained the history of “Rolling Glory” and how the flags have been transported from state to state en route to their final destination: Washington, D.C., and the nation’s capital.
“The Patriot Guard Riders of North Carolina are honored to have paraded these flags across their state,” Hankinson said. “And to have the honor recently of delivering them to the Marine base Camp Lejeune, to honor one of their own, Sgt. Nicole Gee.”
Gee, 23, was originally from Sacramento, California, and was among the 13 service members killed in the attack. Her husband also is a Marine.
Hankinson said his group will pass the flags to their counterparts in Virginia, who will then deliver them to Washington “where they will be permanently placed for all to see.”
Hankinson told the small group of residents and veterans on hand at the museum that the “Rolling Glory” display is about Americans honoring Americans, and nothing else.
“Don’t be confused, this isn’t a protest,” he said. “It’s not an uprising or an insurrection of any kind. It’s simply Americans honoring Americans by uniting a nation, rather than dividing it. Letting the country know we can have different opinions, backgrounds, beliefs, desires and dreams. Yet, despite all these differences we are all still Americans.”
The flag display and photos of the fallen service members will remain at Museum of the Albemarle till Saturday. | https://www.dailyadvance.com/news/local/americans-honoring-americans-moa-exhibits-13-flag-tribute-to-fallen/article_ada53057-190f-5146-8d11-df50b029716b.html | 2022-08-16T23:50:47Z | https://www.dailyadvance.com/news/local/americans-honoring-americans-moa-exhibits-13-flag-tribute-to-fallen/article_ada53057-190f-5146-8d11-df50b029716b.html | true | 1 |

Mikel Arteta has again insisted that he put the best interests of Arsenal first when handling former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubayemang.
The Spaniard was asked about his relationship with Aubameyang at his weekly press conference, this time held ahead of Saturday's clash with Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.
Aubameyang's name come up again amid interest of a possible return to the Premier League, with rivals Chelsea, and Arteta was also grilled about the club's change of culture - that was heavily referenced in the All or Nothing documentary - Emile Smith Rowe's lack of starting minutes and the praise directed towards William Saliba.
Here's what the Arsenal boss had to say.
Arsenal's culture
Are you content after what was seen on the All or Nothing documentary?
"I am really happy with where we are, the people we have at the club and what we’re building. I could not be happier with that."
How and why is the culture different?
"It was the club’s vision to completely change that and create and install (a culture) that makes people who are working at the club proud and accountable for their jobs. I think we have that and I think you can see that level of commitment and passion transmitted to our supporters. That’s why there’s such a unity at the club."
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Regrets about how the situation was handled?
"Listen, it’s a long time since that happened. I cannot go back each time there is a series. I have made my comments on that. I was really clear and honest with my opinion. What has been done has always been done to defend the club and put it in the best possible position and be always as clear as honest and consistent as we can.
"Auba is an exceptional player. He did so much for us. He was our captain and I think we have to be grateful, very grateful as well, for what he did for this club."
Would Aubameyang get a good reception if he joined Chelsea?
"I hope he does because I think he deserves that. There are moments in life, there are moments in your career, and sometimes the trajectory or the objective of each individual is different to the clubs - and you have to respect that."
William Saliba
Is it hard to ground a player being widely praised?
"I think he has his feet on the ground, that is not going to be an issue. Obviously we have talked about the expectation that he already created before joining the club, when he was on loan.
"He is very aware that everything that was happening around him and we have tried to manage that internally in a really quiet way and I think it is better to stay like this for him because he is 21 years of age and he has played one Premier League match."
Will the dressing room help?
"Yes, the players really like him because he has come really determined, a focused and humble boy who wants to take the club forward. He is so willing to be talked through anything you want to talk about, be coached and his aim is to get better and get the team better and that is about it."
Emile Smith Rowe
How can he win his place back in the Arsenal starting 11?
"He needs to stay fit, train well and perform at the level he’s able to perform at. When he does that it’s really difficult not to pick him.
"The first impression was really positive [after he returned from his loan spell]. His body language, his presence and the confidence he was acting with was very mature."
Will he get a new contract at Arsenal?
"We will address all these issues like we always do, that is why the board and Edu will be preparing all the scenarios we can possibly face. We want players to be happy here and be valued but we have just started the season."

Ex-congressman from California arrested, charged with fraud
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A former U.S. congressman from central California was arrested Tuesday by federal agents on wire fraud, money laundering, and campaign contribution fraud charges stemming from “multiple fraud schemes,” federal prosecutors said.
Terrance “T.J.” Cox was arrested by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigations in Fresno, where he was booked to the Fresno County jail on a U.S. Marshals hold, jail records showed. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. An email message sent to Cox Tuesday was not immediately answered.
Cox, a Democrat, represented the 21st Congressional District from January 2019 to January 2021. The district is in the agriculture-rich San Joaquin Valley and includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties.
Cox, 59, was charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count of financial institution fraud, and one count of campaign contribution fraud, U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert said in a statement.
Talbert said that between 2013 and 2018, Cox allegedly obtained $1.7 million from funds he solicited from clients and loans he got for his companies and then stole by diverting the money to “off-the-book bank accounts.”
Cox partially owned, managed and was employed by several companies and non-profit organizations, including a business that helped companies get loans and federal tax credits, an almond processing company and a non-profit that operated Granite Park, a recreation facility in Fresno, according to the complaint.
Cox also fraudulently obtained a $1.5 million construction loan to develop Granite Park, Talbert said.
After his nonprofit could not qualify for the construction loan for the recreation facility without a party guaranteeing the loan, Cox said that one of the companies he co-owned would guarantee the loan, and submitted a fabricated board resolution that falsely stated that during a meeting all company owners had agreed to guarantee the Granite Park loan.
“No meeting took place, and the other owners did not agree to back the loan,” Talbert said.
The loan later went into default, causing a loss of more than $1.28 million, he said.
According to the indictment, when Cox was campaigning in 2017 for the U.S. House of Representatives he reimbursed family members and associates for donations to his campaign, prosecutors said. Cox arranged for over $25,000 in illegal straw or conduit donations to his campaign, Talbert said.
If convicted, Cox faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for wire fraud and money laundering, and up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine for wire fraud affecting a financial institution. The charge of campaign contribution fraud carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

White House receives plan on ending railway contract dispute
By JOSH FUNK
AP Business Writer
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The special board appointed by President Joe Biden to intervene in stalled railroad contract talks has submitted recommendations on how to settle the deal covering 115,000 rail workers and avert a strike. Details on the arbitrators’ suggestions weren’t immediately available Tuesday. Railroads and unions will use those recommendations as the basis for a new round of talks over the next month. If an agreement can’t be reached by mid September, federal law would allow a strike, but Congress is likely to intervene before then to keep the supply chain moving. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/16/white-house-receives-plan-on-ending-railway-contract-dispute/ | 2022-08-17T00:00:21Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/16/white-house-receives-plan-on-ending-railway-contract-dispute/ | true | null |
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It didn't take long for the Panthers and Patriots to get into it at joint practice on Tuesday in New England.
The majority of players from both teams got into a few fights in the morning's sessions, and in one of them, several players were seen throwing punches.
Panthers safety Kenny Robinson was kicked out of practice, as were Patriots wide receivers Kristian Wilkerson and Kendrick Bourne.
Head coaches Matt Rhule and Bill Belichick had agreed anyone fighting would have to miss the rest of practice but could come back for Wednesday's joint session.
"We came here not to fight, we came here to practice," Rhule said. "It shows maturity of a lot of other guys that it didn't escalate into a big thing. We're here to get better, we don't everybody to get hurt."
Players like safety Jeremy Chinn chalked it up to a typical training camp fight.
"It's just a joint practice, that's usually how it goes -- we're just competitive," Chinn said. "It wastes a lot of time, it's not a good thing to just be fighting over and over again. We want to get the reps in. We want to be able to practice and play ball at the end of the day."
The teams will practice together again on Wednesday, and play in a preseason game on Friday night.

Woman arrested after allegedly taking off with Visalia bus, crashing into 3 cars
By KFSN Staff
Click here for updates on this story
VISALIA, California (KFSN) — A terrifying ride for passengers on a Tulare County Area transit bus.
Visalia police say a woman carjacked the bus and crashed into cars and a fence.
It all started around 1:30 on Monday afternoon on Court Street near Murray Avenue.
Officers say 56-year-old Annette Rocha began hitting a male passenger and took his cell phone.
The bus driver then pulled over to evacuate the bus and try to stop the suspect.
That’s when police say Rocha got into the driver’s seat and took off with people still on board.
The bus hit at least three cars, causing minor injuries to the passengers.
It finally came to a stop after slamming into a fence.
Authorities say Rocha then armed herself with a small pipe, but officers convinced her to surrender.
She’s in the process of being booked into jail on charges including robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, and hit-and-run.

Which EVs qualify for new US tax credit? Websites offer help
BY TOM KRISHER and FATIMA HUSSEIN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — As part of the rollout of a huge new climate, tax and healthcare law, the U.S. government is moving forward with its plan to award new tax credits to electric vehicle purchasers.
Several new websites launched Tuesday to help people identify which vehicles qualify for the credits. Based on data submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least 31 new 2022 and 2023 models qualify for the tax credit. For starters, they must be made in North America to be eligible.
President Joe Biden signed Democrats’ landmark climate change and health care bill into law on Tuesday. It includes a tax credit of up to $7,500 that could be used to defray the cost of purchasing an electric vehicle.
Models included are the 2022 Ford F Series electric pickup, BMW X5, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid, and all four Tesla models.
But some models may exceed sticker-price limits in the complex law, and it remains to be seen whether automakers will be able to find minerals or manufacture batteries that can qualify for the credits.
Consumers can go to https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/ and key in the 17-digit vehicle identification number of the EV they want to buy to make sure it’s made in the U.S., Canada or Mexico. The Treasury Department also released a frequently asked questions page on the new law’s provisions.
As of Tuesday, tax credits will no longer be available for vehicles assembled outside of the U.S., Canada or Mexico. But people who signed purchase contracts for EVs before Tuesday could still get the credits. The remaining electric vehicle provisions of the law are effective Jan. 1.
A Treasury official told reporters on a call Tuesday that the plan puts the U.S. 2030 climate goals within reach and will help ensure Americans can afford to buy an electric car.
Passage of the measure set off a scramble by automakers to speed up efforts to find North American-made batteries and battery minerals from the U.S., Canada or Mexico to make sure EVs are eligible for the credit.
While automakers have been announcing U.S. battery factories and trying to secure domestic mineral supplies, a large industry trade association has warned that the vast majority of EVs now on sale in the U.S. wouldn’t qualify for the full credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.
“We are working overtime to localize our supply chains and ramp up production,” Chris Smith, chief government affairs officer at Ford, said in a statement.
The credits are important because no automaker wants to be in a position of seeing a competitor sell vehicles at a $7,500 price advantage, especially since the credits largely target middle-class buyers.
“The No. 1 obstacle to EV adoption is cost,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst with Cox Automotive. “So a $7,500 difference is significant on one vehicle compared to another for the part of the market that this is aimed at.”
Under the law, an electric vehicle must contain a battery built in North America with minerals mined or recycled on the continent to be eligible for the credit.
And those rules become more stringent over time — to the point where, in a few years, it’s possible that no EVs would qualify for the tax credit, said the Alliance of Automotive Innovation, a key industry trade group. As of now, the alliance estimates that about 50 of the 72 electric, hydrogen or plug-in hybrid models that are sold in the United States wouldn’t meet the requirements.
Under the $740 billion economic package that Biden signed into law, the tax credits would take effect next year. For an EV buyer to qualify for the full credit, 40% of the metals used in a vehicle’s battery must come from North America. By 2027, that required threshold would reach 80%.
If the metals requirement isn’t met, the automaker and its buyers would be eligible for half the tax credit, $3,750.
A separate rule would require that half the batteries’ value must be manufactured or assembled in the North America. If not, the rest of the tax credit would be lost. Those requirements also grow stricter each year, eventually reaching 100% in 2029. Still another rule would require that the EV itself be manufactured in North America, thereby excluding from the tax credit any vehicles made overseas.
The idea behind the requirement is to incentivize domestic manufacturing and mining, build a robust battery supply chain in North America and lessen the industry’s dependence on overseas supply chains that could be subject to disruptions.
But production of lithium and other minerals that are used to produce EV batteries is now dominated by China. And the world’s leading producer of cobalt, another component of the EV batteries, is the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The tax credit would be available only to couples with incomes of $300,000 or less or single people with income of $150,000 or less. And any trucks or SUVs with sticker prices above $80,000 or cars above $55,000 wouldn’t be eligible, knocking many EVs out of the credits.
There’s also a new $4,000 credit for buyers of used EVs, a provision that could help modest-income households go electric.
The Treasury Department, which is administering the tax credits, said more guidance will be coming, and it was not in a position to say what vehicles will qualify for credits after all the law’s provisions are considered. | https://kesq.com/news/2022/08/16/which-evs-qualify-for-new-us-tax-credit-websites-offer-help/ | 2022-08-17T00:07:40Z | https://kesq.com/news/2022/08/16/which-evs-qualify-for-new-us-tax-credit-websites-offer-help/ | true | 34 |
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Wednesday marks one month since Newport News mother Shanitia Eure-Lewis went missing.
Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew said detectives are “making progress” in the search for Eure-Lewis and he’s getting weekly updates on the case.
Eure-Lewis’s children last saw her arguing with her husband, Adrian Lewis.
He now faces first-degree murder and gun charges related to her disappearance.
Investigators arrested Lewis at the airport in DC after he tried to board a flight to Jamaica. Authorities found his wife's passport and credit cards in his luggage.
Court documents say Eure-Lewis planned to file for divorce.
Tuesday, during Chief Drew's monthly "Chat with the Chief" session, he told community members that officers are still trying to locate her.
“I still get briefings a couple of times a week on that case," Chief Drew said. "We’re certainly making progress. Very much though, it’s in the back of my head daily.”
In July, Newport News police officers recovered a dirty shovel and Eure-Lewis’ purse and sandals from a garbage bin.
“The detectives are kind of working two sides of the case - the investigative side and the location side," Chief Drew said.
“The information we have from the detectives, from technology, I don’t have a large area to search," Chief Drew explained.

MINNEAPOLIS – Away we go on the 49ers’ first road trip this season, and that means our first mailbag of the preseason is here to answer your questions via my Instagram and Twitter luggage:
Is Lance done for the preseason? (@gozer_the)
Not a bad idea. Trey Lance’s 11-snap debut in Friday’s preseason opener against the Packers showed his arm, his legs, and his moxie are ready for Week 1. His most important work this preseason comes in the joint practices Wednesday and Thursday against the host Minnesota Vikings. Coach Kyle Shanahan plans to sit Lance and most starters in Saturday’s game, then play them five days later in the preseason finale at Houston. Might Lance beg his way onto the U.S. Bank Stadium field Saturday as a tip o’ the cap to his native state with family and friends in the crowd?
Are you going to fly out to Minnesota to cover them for us? (@49erDully)
Flew out pre-dawn Tuesday. Gonna go jump in a lake to wake up for the practices, which will be open to fans. Should be a great environment. If a fight breaks out, I’m siding with Javon Kinlaw, whether he starts it or has my back.
Who has surprised you the most so far through camp and the first preseason game? (@mubouville)
Brandon Aiyuk, with his sheer volume of targets, receptions, smiles, quotes and kismet with Lance. You likely won’t see it until Week 1 at Chicago. Aiyuk, who was in the coaches’ doghouse a year ago, is now one of the sacred starters not worth exposing to preseason hazards.
Who’s leading the WR6 race? (@49ers.access)
Malik Turner has the most receptions in camp outside The Fab Five – Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud and Danny Gray. Honestly, the 49ers shouldn’t keep a sixth receiver. They’re better off with five running backs, especially with Elijah Mitchell battling a hamstring issue.
Other receivers in the peloton: Marcus Johnson, Austin Mack, Willie Snead Jr. and Tay Martin.
Would a 9-8 (worst-case scenario) get us in the playoffs? (@49ersloyalty)
It could. The NFC doesn’t have a 1972 Dolphins challenger. It’s open season in the NFC. But a 9-8 wild-card spot could rely on tiebreaker scenarios. That revolves around conference play, so the 49ers would be best served vs. their NFC foes: the Bears, the Panthers, the Falcons, the Commanders, the Saints, the Bucs and the NFC Westerners.
Am I crazy thinking that Colin Kaepernick is the perfect backup for Trey Lance? (@dayyyuuum17)
Kaepernick was at his dual-threat best … a decade ago. He’s not putting back on a 49ers uniform – or that of any other NFL team. This is Year 7 with no sight No. 7 and his Kaepernicking, biceps-kissing celebration.
Where’s Jimmy G and why didn’t he get reps against the Packers? (@s.t._53)
Garoppolo is awaiting extradition to another team. He hasn’t practiced with the 49ers since last season. He’s allowed on the premises to get his throwing shoulder in shape before a long-shot trade or end-of-the-month release. It’s been bizarre watching him throw to equipment interns while ol’ pal George Kittle is practicing about 25 yards from him.
Who’s gonna be our safety next to Jimmie Ward? (@only_1cosby)
First of all, the 49ers need Ward to get healthy after Sunday’s hamstring strain that may sideline him for the start of the season. Talanoa Hufanga is locked in at strong safety. He’s shown better range with his great instincts to the ball. Tarvarius Moore has flashed in camp but yielded the first touchdown in Friday’s preseason opener. George Odum could be needed for more than special teams duty.
Is maklinchi hurt? (@rober20)
Yes, but hopefully it’s not as bad as your spelling for Mike McGlinchey. His irritated knee is set to undergo a plasma injection, which he also endured in 2019. A Week 1 start remains likely. His surgically repaired quadriceps emerged OK from Saturday’s 8-snap cameo, Shanahan said.
Will Drake Jackson be back next week? (@woods_akil)
He didn’t miss either practice after Friday’s shoulder injury. Still, I’ll keep an eye on his range of motion. He flashed great bend and range at defensive end in his preseason debut.
Will Jason Poe have any snaps at fullback or tight end this year? (@DaAstroCat)
Doubtful, and no knock on Poe, who’s gained fast respect as an undrafted rookie out of Mercer. He’s been strictly working at guard and likely is heading for the practice squad. A fullback cameo in the preseason wouldn’t be shocking but unlikely.
Spencer Burford becomes the starting right guard on Week 1? (@peyt_ace)
Absolutely, if he can avoid the injury bug that’s rattled the roster the past week.
What do you think about Danny Gray? (@hoodrich.javvy007)
Speed kills, as everyone saw with his 56-yard touchdown catch in Friday’s pro debut. He came away with hip and back soreness. Add in the fact he appeared to tweak a hamstring in May workouts and durability becomes an issue.
Anything new at Levi’s Stadium this season? (@shaunlandwehr)
New starting quarterback, although Lance did start and win last season’s regular-season finale against Houston. This is Year 9 of the Niners’ home — and they finally added a roof for shade. Just kidding. Fear not, there are only two day games over the next two months – Sept. 18 vs. the Seahawks, Oct. 23 vs. the Chiefs.
How to buy tickets for the 49ers in Mexico? (@tortasytacos)
Thursday is when a limited supply goes on sale to the general public, via Ticketmaster Mexico. Neither the NFL nor the 49ers have spread the word well on ticket sales since announcing the 49ers’ Nov. 21 game against the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City. Hopefully the 49ers’ first visit since 2005 goes más mejor.
Overall record guess? (@imthestandard)
Order me a dozen W’s. That’s right, a 12-5 march to another NFC Championship Game. | https://www.redbluffdailynews.com/2022/08/16/49ers-mailbag-shanahans-preseason-qb-plan-top-surprise-of-camp-and-mexico-city-ticket-release/ | 2022-08-17T00:14:17Z | https://www.redbluffdailynews.com/2022/08/16/49ers-mailbag-shanahans-preseason-qb-plan-top-surprise-of-camp-and-mexico-city-ticket-release/ | true | 10 |
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A 12-year-old Little League World Series player from Utah was in critical condition Tuesday with what his family said was a head injury suffered when he fell off the top bunk of his bed at the dormitory complex.
Easton Oliverson is a pitcher and outfielder for the Snow Canyon team out of Santa Clara, Utah. The Little League World Series is set to begin Wednesday in Williamsport. His dad, Jace Oliverson, is an assistant coach on the team.
“I’ve always been a firm believer of prayer and the power that comes with it, and I feel like if people continue to rally around us that he will make a full recovery,” Oliverson told KSL-TV. “Right now it’s slow. They keep telling me it’s a cross-country race.”
Oliverson gave an update on his son’s condition through Facebook and said doctors told him his son had punctured an artery which caused bleeding on the brain and needed a piece of skull removed.
Oliverson and wife Nancy are with their son at the hospital.
The boy’s uncle has served as family spokesperson and told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Easton fell off the bed while he was sleeping and hit his head.
“We’re just at point now where he’s just in recovery,” Spencer Beck said in a phone interview. “The teammates heard him fall, thank goodness. When they got into surgery, the doctor talked to Jace and said had he not gotten into surgery but 30 minutes later, he would have been dead.”
Beck said Easton is still using a breathing tube.
Little League World Series officials released a statement Tuesday that said they spoke with the Oliverson family and “were pleased to hear that his medical team remains encouraged by his progress.”
The Santa Clara team was the first from Utah to make the Little League World Series. Snow Canyon is scheduled to play its first game Friday against the winner of teams from Massachusetts and Tennessee.
“As hard as it will be to not have Easton out there playing, they’re still from this community, this is still a historical moment for the state, for Little League and for our community,” Beck said. “We’re cheering them on and maybe they’ll have a little inspiration from Easton and they’ll go win it all. That would be awesome.”
The family has set up a Venmo account for the kid nicknamed “Tank” to help with bills and expenses.
“We want to make sure when Easton wakes up, he’s mentally there for us and can progress from there,” Beck said.

The Ravens could be without rookie outside linebacker David Ojabo for at least the first half of the season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon, but second-year player Odafe Oweh seems prepared to pick up the slack.
Oweh, an outside linebacker and first-round selection out of Penn State in 2021, finished last season with five sacks and 33 tackles while playing in 15 games, including two starts.
He spent most of last season trying to figure out the NFL and, most importantly, develop more pass-rushing moves than relying on his sheer speed on the outside.
Through more than three weeks of practice, Oweh has had an impressive training camp. The offseason work on his speed, hand usage and leverage has been noticeable.
This could be his breakout season as Ojabo, a second-round pick from Michigan, heals.
“You’re constantly building, and the answer is again, just reading his keys, trusting what he is looking at and hitting it over and over again so he can play fast,” Ravens outside linebackers coach Rob Leonard said. “Trust his instincts. I talk with Odafe a lot about matching his upper body violence with the violence of his legs.
“He had God-given ability to run, and he can take off. So, working his hands, and all those types of things is a big part of his progression.”
New normal
Quarterback Lamar Jackson and kicker Justin Tucker routinely do such freakish things in practice that it’s become the norm.
On one play Tuesday, Jackson rolled to his right, stutter-stepped a defender, changed direction and rolled back to his left. He then threw across his body to the other side of the field for a 20-yard touchdown strike to tight end Mark Andrews.
Minutes later, Tucker kicked a 62-yard field goal that hit the crossbar and fell short. On the next attempt, he made it with about 5-to-10 yards to spare.
Just another day at the office.
O-line is deep …
I’ve been to most of the team’s training camp practices and Tuesday was the first time I saw a player — second-year outside linebacker Daelin Hayes — beat guard-tackle Tyre Phillips in a one-on-one pass protection drill.
Phillips has been outstanding, but so was center Trystan Colon on Tuesday as he filled in for injured rookie starter Tyler Linderbaum. He’s not going to supplant the first-round pick out of Iowa, but at least the Ravens have versatility and depth up front.
And so is the D-line
Speaking of depth, the defensive line might have the most after the secondary.
The Ravens will start Michael Pierce at nose tackle flanked by Calais Campbell and Justin Madubuike. Rookie Travis Jones will push Pierce for playing time, and Broderick Washington, Isaiah Mack, Brent Urban and Aaron Crawford will be a part of the rotation.
General manager Eric DeCosta has said that you can never have enough cornerbacks, but his predecessor Ozzie Newsome used to subscribe to the theory of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who said you can never have enough defensive linemen.
Beware the drops
I’ve been keeping an eye on rookie receiver Shemar Bridges, especially after the strong game he turned in Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans (four catches for 62 yards, one touchdown).
He gets better every day at running routes, especially with one-on-one attention from the assistant coaches, but he still has to keep working on his hand placement and extending his arms while catching the ball.
That T-Rex approach won’t work in the NFL. He’ll see quite a few pass attempts get into his body and bounce off his pads.
As for second-year receiver Rashod Bateman, he dropped more passes than Bridges on Tuesday.
Don’t sleep on Steelers
I keep reading all these stories about how the Pittsburgh Steelers might finish last in the AFC North because quarterback Ben Roethlisberger retired at the end of last season.
That might be true if the Steelers didn’t have coach Mike Tomlin. He is one of the most competitive and feared coaches in the NFL with a career record of 162-94-2 (.632).
He is like Belichick. Every time you write his teams off, they find a way to win and stay in contention.
Return of Joe Cool?
The Ravens should disregard any rumors about New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson playing in the season opener Sept. 11 and prepare for former Ravens starter Joe Flacco.
It makes no sense for the Jets to put a second-year quarterback out there after having recent knee surgery. It’s not worth the risk.
And of course, Flacco was “Joe Cool” about the possibility of playing against his old team of 11 years with whom he won the Super Bowl in the 2012 season. Pro athletes are extremely competitive and Flacco can’t wait to play against his old team.
Will we see the Flacco of old or an old Flacco? He’s 37 years old, so you know the answer, but Flacco will welcome the challenge.
Roster report
The Ravens released quarterback Brett Hundley and placed outside linebacker Trent Harris on injured reserve ahead of the NFL’s 4 p.m. deadline Tuesday for 85-man rosters.
Harris was signed Saturday but had to be helped off the field Monday with an apparent injury.
Hundley’s release leaves the Ravens with three quarterbacks: Jackson, Tyler Huntley and undrafted rookie Anthony Brown. Coach John Harbaugh declined to say Monday whether Jackson would play in Sunday’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
“Let’s leave that for a couple more days,” he said.
Rookie offensive tackle Daniel Faalele left the field Tuesday under his own power about 75 minutes into practice and did not return. It’s unclear what might’ve caused the fourth-round pick’s departure. Harbaugh, who did not speak Tuesday, is scheduled to address reporters after practice Wednesday.
Tight end Nick Boyle, wide receivers James Proche II (soft tissue) and Tylan Wallace (knee) and Linderbaum (foot) missed practice Tuesday, while offensive tackle David Sharpe and wide receiver Bailey Gaither returned.

Amid record-high toxic drug deaths in B.C., mothers who lost their children to poisonous drugs took to the streets of Vancouver to remember their loved ones.
Moms Stop the Harm, a network of Canadian families impacted by the toxic drug crisis, organized the event to memorialize the 10,000 people who have died since B.C.’s drug supply became a public health emergency in 2016.
READ MORE: B.C. sees record high 1,095 toxic drug deaths in first 6 months of 2022
Chris Bossley, a Moms Stop the Harm supporter, travelled from Maple Ridge to downtown Vancouver to hang ribbons along Robson Street. Bossley said that despite the government’s efforts in trying to expand access to addiction treatment facilities, only a safe regulated drug supply will stop people from dying.
“As long as we continue to believe that a treatment-based, abstinence-based approach is the only way to deal with this crisis, we’re never going to get anywhere.”
In 2022, at least 1,095 people in B.C. died of toxic drug overdoses between January and June — the highest number ever recorded in the first six months of a calendar year.

SAN ANTONIO – A jury returned a guilty verdict after more than an hour of deliberation in the trial of a man accused of brutally murdering a woman with a machete and an ax in front of her boyfriend and two roommates.
Rafael Castillo is charged with murder in the 2020 death of Nicole Perry.
Perry’s body, which was wrapped inside a black trash bag, was found by a Public Works Department crew assigned to clean up trash along the 9200 block of South W.W. White Road.
According to testimony, Perry and her boyfriend, Randall Fulghum, lived with three others in a small room at the back of a property in the 300 block of West Harlan Avenue.
**Warning: This story contains graphic details.
Fulghum testified that the attack on Perry came after Castillo warned Perry to stop mouthing off to him.
“He started taping up her hands, and then he grabbed a machete,” Fulghum testified.
Fulghum told the jury that Castillo swung the machete three times, severing Perry’s hands, and then he grabbed an ax.
“He grabbed a black ax, swung it and buried it in her skull,” Fulghum said.
Roommate Vanessa Vargas testified that she also witnessed the murder.
“I saw it all,” Vargas said.
Vargas and Fulghum testified that Castillo forced them to clean up Perry’s body afterward.
Fulgham told jurors that he removed the ax from Perry’s body, put her in a bin, put her hands in a crockpot and cleaned up the blood.
The punishment phase of the trial begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Castillo faces anywhere from 5 to 99 years or life in prison. | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/08/16/jury-deliberates-fate-of-man-accused-of-killing-woman-with-machete-ax/ | 2022-08-17T00:29:32Z | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/08/16/jury-deliberates-fate-of-man-accused-of-killing-woman-with-machete-ax/ | false | 1 |

EL CAJON, Calif. — A 44-year-old man suspected of burglarizing a woman’s East County apartment was arrested Tuesday, authorities said.
David Sharpe, who is transient, was booked into San Diego County Jail on suspicion of burglary of an inhabited dwelling and indecent exposure, Lt. Walt Miller of the El Cajon Police Department stated in release.
Around 5:15 a.m., the suspect entered the woman’s apartment in the 200 block of East Lexington Avenue, where he went through her belongings and opened the bedroom door but did not go inside, according to police. He then made his way to the living room, turned on the television and masturbated before falling asleep.
Officers responded to the incident after a family member of the victim saw the suspect on an indoor security camera and called 911, Miller said. Police arrested the suspect, who is believed to have entered the apartment through an unlocked front door.
Authorities confirmed that Sharpe has a criminal history, including prior arrests for burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, home invasion robbery and attempted murder.
El Cajon police advise residents to always lock windows and doors when leaving their homes or when going to bed at night.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call the El Cajon Police Department at 619-579-3311 or contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers at info@sdcrimestoppers.org. | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/man-arrested-after-east-county-home-burglary/ | 2022-08-17T00:31:26Z | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/man-arrested-after-east-county-home-burglary/ | false | 1 |
Amid record-high toxic drug deaths in B.C., mothers who lost their children to poisonous drugs took to the streets of Vancouver to remember their loved ones.
Moms Stop the Harm, a network of Canadian families impacted by the toxic drug crisis, organized the event to memorialize the 10,000 people who have died since B.C.’s drug supply became a public health emergency in 2016.
READ MORE: B.C. sees record high 1,095 toxic drug deaths in first 6 months of 2022
Chris Bossley, a Moms Stop the Harm supporter, travelled from Maple Ridge to downtown Vancouver to hang ribbons along Robson Street. Bossley said that despite the government’s efforts in trying to expand access to addiction treatment facilities, only a safe regulated drug supply will stop people from dying.
“As long as we continue to believe that a treatment-based, abstinence-based approach is the only way to deal with this crisis, we’re never going to get anywhere.”
In 2022, at least 1,095 people in B.C. died of toxic drug overdoses between January and June — the highest number ever recorded in the first six months of a calendar year.

The Republican nominee for secretary of state in Arizona is a self-proclaimed member of the far-right extremist group the Oath Keepers who repeatedly shared anti-government conspiracies and posts about stockpiling ammunition on social media.
CNN's KFile team uncovered previously unreported posts from Mark Finchem, an Arizona state representative who won his party's nomination with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, on several social media websites linked from his since-deleted former Twitter account.
The posts included a Pinterest account with a "Treason Watch List," and pins of photos of Barack Obama alongside imagery of a man clad in Nazi attire making a Nazi salute; Finchem also shared photos of the Holocaust claiming it could happen in the United States.
The Oath Keepers, of which Finchem self-identified as a member since 2014, is an anti-government, far-right militia composed of former and active military and law enforcement that purports to defend the US Constitution. The group is perhaps best known for providing security for the January 6, 2021, "Stop the Steal" rally preceding the Capitol riot. Eleven members, including its leader, were charged by the Justice Department with "seditious conspiracy" related to the Capitol attack.
Finchem, who attended the January 6 rally before the attack on the US Capitol but has denied he participated in the riot and has not been charged with any crimes, campaigned extensively on the false claim the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. If Finchem wins his race against Democrat Adrian Fontes, a former county clerk of Maricopa County, Arizona, Finchem would be tasked with running the state's elections in 2024. In Arizona, the secretary of state is second in line to the governorship.
Finchem said CNN is not credible and declined to comment.
A 'Treason Watchlist' on Pinterest
Finchem's most extreme content came on the social media platform Pinterest, which allows users to save, categorize and share posts called pins into digital mood boards. While Finchem has some light-hearted and conventional boards on food, fashion and dogs, he also has a board titled "Treason Watch List," featuring photos of Jesse Jackson, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and former Secretary of State John Kerry.
In another board labeled "Thought Provoking," Finchem pinned a number of extremist posts, comparing Democrats to Nazis and invoking the Holocaust to argue against gun control, along with posts calling for stockpiling ammunition.
After this story's publication, Finchem removed the "Thought Provoking" board from his Pinterest account, but the 'Treason Watch List' board remains live.
One pin compared Obama to Adolf Hitler with a cartoon featuring the former president raising his arm while speaking and a cartoon of a Nazi just behind him in similar fashion saying "tyranny is always lurking just around the corner." Another pin shared by Finchem showed hundreds of boxes of stockpiled personal ammunition saying "you need to be prepared."
Another of Finchem's pins, arguing against gun control, depicted Jews being rounded up by Nazis saying, "What makes us think IT CAN'T HAPPEN IN AMERICA?"
Yet another pin showed an image saying "a war in America" will have "no rules of engagement."
Other posts Finchem pinned on his "Thought Provoking" board included conspiracy theories that the Mexican Army was making incursions into the United States in preparation for a full-scale invasion and repeated anti-Muslim posts arguing Sharia law was coming to the US soon.
One pin shared an image warning of "the communists inside our government," and another included a fake quotation alleging George Washington saying US citizens should be armed against the government.
Finchem was linking to his Pinterest account in Tweets from 2012 to 2015.
Elsewhere on the internet, CNN's KFile also found that Finchem said he learned about the Tea Party -- a conservative movement that began following the backlash of Obama's election -- website from "a fellow intel operator in the desert southwest."
On Twitter, he shared conspiracies that multiple ships docked at a Virginia naval station might be a target for a second Pearl Harbor-type attack. He said Satan ruled the United States and said gun ownership should be mandatory. In one post, he called for the impeachment of Obama, who was then President, for letting his daughter go on vacation in Mexico.
Ties to Oath Keepers
Finchem described himself as a member of the Oath Keepers in 2014, saying he was "committed to the exercise of limited, constitutional governance."
In September 2014, Finchem promoted an Oath Keeper meeting on Facebook, and later that same year shared a blog post from the Oath Keepers website. A defunct campaign Twitter account for his state representative races also included "Join Oath Keepers," in the bio.
Finchem also has political ties to prominent Oath Keepers. Former Sheriff Richard Mack, who previously sat on the board of the organization, endorsed him for secretary of state, according to Finchem's Facebook post.
CNN's Sam Woodward contributed to this story.
This story has been updated to reflect that Finchem removed a board from his Pinterest account after publication.

A dognapper who blackmailed a woman, demanding cash for the pet's return, has been taken into custody.
Ice user Lee Warren Armstrong, 47, was with other drug users who targeted the victim's golden retriever, Millie, on December 21 last year.
Advertisement
The Wangaratta County Court on Tuesday heard Armstrong had been seeking to recoup $2000 from the victim, who was also a drug user, about 3am.
Armstrong and four others attended the woman's Benalla home about 3am, banged on her door and yelled.
One of the co-accused yelled "pay me my money" before taking the dog away.
The victim drove around to the co-accused man's house, and Armstrong said "I want my money as well".
She was told she had to pay the cash or the dog's throat would be slit.
Threats against the dog continued, with Armstrong saying "I'm gonna kill this fat ----", until the money was transferred about 2.45pm and the dog handed back.
IN OTHER NEWS:
The dog had a small cut on its face but was unharmed.
Armstrong's Benalla home was searched on December 23 with seven shotgun cartridges found.
He had denied the offending to police, but on Tuesday pleaded guilty to theft and blackmail.
The court heard he had been bashed with a baseball bat by one of the other accused men, who believed Armstrong ratted him out.
Of the four others allegedly involved, two are brothers with matters pending in court and the identity of the other two is unknown.
Armstrong's lawyer, Brad Penno, urged Judge Greg Lyon to impose a community corrections order.
But the judge said the offending was far too serious and revoked the 46-year-old's bail, which led to Armstrong being taken into custody.
"This is a crime committed over a number of hours," Judge Lyon noted.
"There's a deal of calculation to it.

"There's a deal of manipulation to it."
Armstrong will be assessed for a corrections order with the matter to return to court on Thursday.

‘The Dog Charged Me and I Shot It’: Shippenville Borough Council Members Speak Out on Pit Bull Attack; Owner Faces Charges
SHIPPENVILLE BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) – A local man is in hot water after his pit bulls attacked two Shippenville Borough Council members last month.
According to court documents, Clarion-based State Police filed the following summary charges against 56-year-old Merle D. Young, of Shippenville, in Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter’s office on Friday, August 12:
– Harboring Dangerous Dog, Summary (two counts)
– Confinement of Dogs/Premises, Summary (two counts)
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on Tuesday, July 5, in Shippenville Borough, Clarion County.
Shippenville Borough Council Vice President Mike Cotherman told exploreClarion.com that he was with council member Mike Petronzio, borough maintenance worker Russ Rennard, and contractor Tim Canby scouting a location that needed work done on North 3rd Street in Shippenville when they were reportedly attacked by a male pit bull and a female pit bull, owned by 56-year-old Merle Young, of Shippenville.
“When I got there, I was the last person to arrive, but the female pit bull had gotten off the leash somehow, and she was barking and growling about 15 or 20 feet away,” Cotherman said.
The female dog soon retreated to the property it came from as Cotherman met the other three individuals across the street to begin their meeting regarding a residence with drainage issues.
“It wasn’t 15 or 20 seconds in (to the meeting) and here comes the male and the female pit bull,” Cotherman continued. “Both growling, barking at us and what not. I was yelling at (Young) to come get his dogs and get them out of here. He wasn’t very speedy in my mind.”
Before they knew it, the four men were nearly fighting for their lives as the aggressive dogs went for their necks. The men struggled with the dogs for approximately 8 to 10 minutes while trying to defend and protect each other, according to Cotherman.
“(Young) didn’t come over in a very timely manner, so I went ahead and called 9-1-1,” he said. “I proceeded to yell and scream at these dogs and the owner to come get them.”
Petronzio added, “It was just full-on trying to protect ourselves. The two smaller guys, the contractor and Russell, stayed behind us.
“(The dogs) basically herded up like cattle. It was ridiculous. We’re screaming for the owner, and he’s trying to come for the dogs. It seemed to go forever.”
During the incident, Cotherman said he suffered an approximate six-inch superficial laceration about three-eighth of an inch deep and three-eighth of an inch wide on the calf of his left leg from the male pit bull. Meanwhile, Petronzio was bitten on the left arm and wrist by the female dog, that latched onto his arm for a period of time, causing a deep laceration to the bone.
The dogs eventually cornered Petronzio, Rennard, and Canby while pushing them into brush along the tree line.
“I don’t remember at what point, but the one dog got me on the inside of the arm and tried to twist me down,” Petronzio recalled. “It felt like an electrical shock. That jawline is so long, and she would not let go.
“I just started punching it in the head as much as I could, and it wouldn’t let go. I was pulling on its collar to let go, and it did. It freakin’ hurt, man, I’ll tell ya that. I was using branches, jamming them into the dog’s mouth. It would just not let up.”
As the dogs continued to attack the men with little to no help from Young, Canby notified Cotherman that he had a firearm in his vehicle nearby. Cotherman then went to retrieve the firearm.
“The contractor informed me that he had a firearm in his vehicle. I retrieved the firearm and gave warning to the owner that I would like to shoot his dog if he wasn’t able to do anything,” Cotherman said. “He obliged and said ‘Shoot the dog.’ The dog charged me and I shot it.
“It ran and turn back to the house. The owner was able to get up at that point and take the female back home. About two minutes later, the state police arrived.”
After the shot, Cotherman said the male dog quickly sprinted away after it was shot before Young secured the female dog on a leash and retreated to his property.
According to Cotherman, the bullet entered near the male dog’s nose on the snout and exited the roof of the mouth.
“That dog went for Mike’s neck and he’s taller than me,” Petronzio recounted. “He shot the dog in the face, and that dog did a 360 in mid-air, landed on its feet, and took off.”
The extent of the injuries to the male pit bull is unclear.
Soon, PSP Clarion, along with State Dog Warden (Clarion) Matthew Patrick, arrived on the scene.
Patrick declined to comment on the incident.
The dogs were quarantined for a period of time following the incident, Cotherman said. However, court documents indicate that Young provided law enforcement with proof of rabies vaccinations for both dogs.
According to PA Department of Agriculture Press Secretary Shannon Powers, “When a dog owner is cited after a dog attacks a person or another dog, the District Magisterial Justice makes a determination of whether to deem the dog dangerous.”
Four non-traffic citations were filed against Young: two for “Harboring Dangerous Dog” and two for “Confinement of Dog/Premises.”
According to the citations, police say Young’s dogs “ran across the street cornering a group of men without provocation.”
The court is awaiting a plea from Young.
Young is required to following provisions found here: Dangerous Dogs-Agriculture.pa.gov
“I’ve heard (from) a lot of people that this is not the first time,” Cotherman said. “Not so much the attack, but the aggression – meaning neighbors not being able to get out of their cars for a time because a dog is growling and barking at the car door, chasing kids down on bicycles.”
Cotherman stated that he has seen the dogs still on the premises since the incident.

Alexa, play “Money Machine (A.G. Cook Remix)” by 100 gecs. Disney is rereleasing Rogue One, a prequel to the Star Wars films, in theaters and adding in some sneak-peek footage of its upcoming Disney+ series Andor, a prequel to Rogue One, per The Wrap. Yes, you’ve got that right: Andor is a prequel to a prequel, which is itself a prequel of the prequel Star Wars films. Great! The film will be heading into Imax theaters on August 26 to prepare audiences for the Andor debut on September 21, in which Diego Luna stars (as Cassian Andor) along with Forest Whitaker, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, and Adria Arjona.
This isn’t the only rerelease Disney has on its mind. Along with Rogue One this month, the original Avatar film will be back in theaters on September 23 — ahead of the December 16 premiere of its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. We at Vulture are blue-ing ourselves in anticipation. To add to the party, Sony will be rereleasing Spider-Man: No Way Home with some new “fun stuff” added (like extended scenes) on September 2. Just when we thought the August movie had been forgotten, Disney has a new (old) moneymaking idea. | https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/andor-star-wars-rogue-one-rerelease-in-theaters-avatar-spider-man.html | 2022-08-17T00:34:17Z | https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/andor-star-wars-rogue-one-rerelease-in-theaters-avatar-spider-man.html | false | 1 |
MUN adds 5 family medicine residency spots to coax international grads back to Canada
New spots aimed at enticing Canadian grads to N.L. to finish their training — and stay when they're done
Memorial University is adding five spots to its family medicine residency program to entice Canadian graduates of international medical schools to finish their training at home — and stay in Newfoundland and Labrador when they're done.
Premier Andrew Furey made the announcement Tuesday afternoon, the most recent provincial initiative aimed at recruiting and retaining health-care professionals as the province, and much of the country, struggles with staffing shortages.
"We're moving with a sense of urgency to reimagine the health-care system that was designed in the 1960s. We know it will take a decade or more to see the biggest outcomes," Furey said.
"We know too well that we have to take action now, today, to address the most pressing issues such as recruitment of health-care professionals across our province."
The five new residency spots will be added starting in 2023. Furey said the program is a pathway for international graduates to return to Canada to practise medicine.
"These extra seats are intended to help address the physician recruitment and retention challenges in Newfoundland and Labrador, particularly in the rural and remote areas," said Furey.
Latest effort
Tuesday's announcement is the provincial government's most recent initiative to shore up Newfoundland and Labrador's health care, with rural and remote communities in the province facing daily emergency room closures and doctors leaving the province for other opportunities.
Other commitments include an increase in virtual care services, five more undergraduate spots in MUN's faculty of medicine for Newfoundland and Labrador students, an increase in the number of graduates from licensed practical nursing programs and personal care attendant programs, and a one-year pilot program to entice retired family physicians to come back to the workforce.
Health Minister Tom Osborne said the health-care challenges Newfoundland and Labrador is facing are not unique to the province.
He said the additional residency seats announced Tuesday represent the potential for five more doctors each year who "may choose to stay, live and work in Newfoundland and Labrador."
Dr. Sohaib Al-Asaaed, MUN's associate dean of post-graduate medical education at MUN, said Tuesday's announcement was news to celebrate, calling the initiative important to MUN's medical program.
"As an active and current health-care practitioner … I see the immense amount of pressure being placed on physicians, including my colleagues in family medicine," he said.
"We know that trainees who train in certain communities, very early on, tend to establish relationships and ties to the land, to the people, and tend to want to stay. So this announcement is really big news, both for the faculty and for the province." | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/mun-medicine-added-residency-seats-1.6552648?cmp=rss | 2022-08-17T00:34:48Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/mun-medicine-added-residency-seats-1.6552648?cmp=rss | true | 1 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@taptrends.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one taptrends.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (WKRG) — A weather camera in Fort Walton Beach, Florida belonging to Nexstar’s WKRG caught an amazing sight Tuesday morning.
At around 5:48 a.m., the camera captured a waterspout forming offshore. WKRG was able to track the waterspout as it moved across the water for several minutes during a live broadcast.
Sister station WFLA’s chief meteorologist Jeff Berardelli confirmed it was a tornadic waterspout – or a tornado moving over water – rather than a fair weather waterspout.
Fair weather waterspouts are generally not associated with thunderstorms, while tornadic are, NOAA explains.
Tornadic waterspouts “have the same characteristics as a land tornado,” NOAA writes. “They are associated with severe thunderstorms, and are often accompanied by high winds and seas, large hail, and frequent dangerous lightning.”
Both the video above and another shared on Twitter show multiple lightning strikes near the waterspout, as well as looming storm clouds.
A fair weather waterspout, a common sighting in Florida, typically occurs during “fair and relatively calm weather,” according to NOAA.
Last week, on the opposite side of the country, Nexstar’s KTLA was able to capture dramatic footage of a fire tornado that developed during the brush fire battle.
Sometimes called “fire devils” or “firenadoes,” fire tornadoes can occur when extreme, rising heat meets turbulent wind conditions. The tornado then sucks in combustible gases and burning debris, as you can see in the video. | https://www.klfy.com/national/watch-tornadic-waterspout-forms-off-florida-coast/ | 2022-08-17T00:43:01Z | https://www.klfy.com/national/watch-tornadic-waterspout-forms-off-florida-coast/ | false | 24 |

Texans believe state is headed in wrong direction under Gov. Abbott, poll shows
AUSTIN, Texas - A new poll from the Dallas Morning News and UT Tyler shows Texans believe the state is headed in the wrong direction under Governor Greg Abbott.
Jamarr Brown, executive director of the Texas Democratic Party, and Ashley Brasher, board president of the Williamson County Republican leaders, join FOX 7 Austin's Mike Warren to discuss.
Mike Warren: Jamarr, starting with you is Governor Abbott was held to the same standard as, say, a company CEO. Would he be fired based on all this dissatisfaction?
Jamarr Brown: Well, I think that one of the things you have to look at in any company is the quality of life of your employees. Right. And so if he's head of a C company and Texans are the employees, then yes, he should go. Because what happens when people are sick and tired of being sick and tired? There needs to be a change of leadership. And so we're talking about a grid that's not reliable. We're talking about people being terrified to send their children to school. We're talking about leaders suppressing the vote. And so those things reduce the quality of life across the state. And so, yes, we should be looking for new leadership.
Mike Warren: Ashley, this polling, does it concern you, and should it be a warning to the incumbent candidates?
Ashley Brasher: I think it's a good indication that people are unhappy in general with what's going on right now in the world. It doesn't specifically state under Governor Abbott. It specifically states. Are people happy with what's going on in Texas right now? That can be anything from school curriculum to the gas prices.
Mike Warren: You know, Jamarr, the results of this poll. How did Democrats turn that into victories at the ballot box?
Jamarr Brown: Well, I think it's critically important to ensure that we're continuing to do the organizing work that Ben O'Rourke and statewide candidates have been all over the state, and they've been visiting all 254 counties, talking to voters about the issues that matter to them, talking about how we increase the quality of life, how we expand health care. Right, how we provide a quality education for our children. So we're going to make sure we're continuing to do that and amplify other platforms in which we need to get our message out. And ultimately, despite the laws that the Republicans in Texas passed, turn people out to the polls and help them navigate the process under those new laws.
Mike Warren: Ashley talking about the governor, how does he grow his base when the majority apparently feels that he's taking them in a path that they don't support?
Ashley Brasher: I don't think that's the case. His approval rating has exceeded that for quite some time now. It's been pretty steady since May. People are happy with Governor Abbott. I think people are moving here in droves from all over the country because Texas is where people want to be. It's a good place for economy, and we're the ninth-largest economy in the world. Texas is an amazing place to live. That's why they're coming here. And I don't think people want it to change to the places that they're moving away from.
Mike Warren: You know, Jamarr talking about the election for Governor Beto O'Rourke. Where do you think he really needs to hit Greg Abbott, and what are Abbott's weak spots?
Jamarr Brown: Well, just one point to it's also knowing that we made CNBC ranking as the second-worst state to live across the country. And so that is something notable. And I think that there are considerable challenges. But to the point about Governor Abbott's weak points, especially around gun violence, is a huge point and that folks should really think about as they're making their decision around voting, where children's lives have been at risk, workers lives have been at risk, other folks in various communities across the state, their lives have been at risk. And the governor has done absolutely nothing about it. He's only expanded gun access, causing more harm in particular communities. And then we've also got to look at health care in the state. Both abortion access, but also rural hospitals are closing where people have to drive hundreds of miles, take off work in order to access health care. And so those are only two points, but they're considerably more in terms of everyone's day-to-day living and quality of life that I think Texas voters have an opportunity to make a difference in this election.
Mike Warren: All right. Well, that election is less than three months away and a lot can happen from now until then. We have to wrap it up, Jamarr, Ashley, thank you both very much. | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/texans-believe-state-is-headed-in-wrong-direction-under-gov-abbott-poll-shows | 2022-08-17T00:49:30Z | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/texans-believe-state-is-headed-in-wrong-direction-under-gov-abbott-poll-shows | true | 6 |
Venables using his blueprint
Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables has the blueprint. He’s learned over the years as an assistant coach what works and what doesn’t, and now he’s approaching the head coach spot with those same principles.
When it comes to preseason camp, it starts with physicality. You can’t be scared to be physical. You might lose a player or two, but it’s a mindset that cannot go away.
As OU has been practicing on the rugby fields since last Thursday, this is the real grind of camp season and figuring out everything.
“Emotion. Energy. Attention to detail. Physicality,” said Venables following Tuesday’s practice. “Guys understand you have to practice hard to play hard, and you’ve got to practice physical to play physical.
“You’ve got to be in a lot of competitive situations in order for you to feel comfortable on game day. So we’re trying to paint all the situations, and then over the next several days, it’s going to be critical that we continue to expose our guys to those situations.”
It’s definitely something you can tinker with based on who your team is, but it’s imperative to answer as many questions as you can during this period.
Because 40 percent of OU’s roster has never played a game for the Sooners, you can’t hold back.
“You’ve got to have the big picture in mind in everything that you do,” Venables said. “But you’ve got to get your work in and then you’ve got to stay committed to what that schedule looks like.”
“Having coached in national championships … there’s a blueprint, a formula that we try to stick by. We know what works. We need to continue to develop cohesion, chemistry and understanding.”
OU had a lot of players not practicing Tuesday, but the biggest blow is learning grad transfer linebacker T.D. Roof will miss the season with a bicep injury.
Defensive lineman Jalen Redmond, who missed part of last week with a slight concussion, was back at practice as was running back Jovantae Barnes.
Freshmen Jayden Rowe and Kobie McKinzie were suited up but practicing outside of the team, while offensive lineman Chris Murray was walking around in a boot. Venables stressed that Roof was the only major injury to this point.
Schmit making his move
Everybody knows what OU has in punter Michael Turk, so that’s not a question. But with Gabe Brkic no longer the kicker, it’s an open competition.
Although Tuesday wasn’t the best practice for the kickers, sounds like Zach Schmit is starting to assert himself in that department.
“He’s just been money in all the different situations,” Venables said. “He had a 62 (yard field goal) and he missed it by six inches in our scrimmage. Gavin Marshall missed it by a foot. Nailed it right down the middle, both of them. Came up short, but they were right on the money. Put them in a tough situation there. But tremendous consistency and improvement.”
Venables also praised Josh Plaster for his efforts so far. He wouldn’t go into detail about who the holder(s) will be for this season at this time.
Mentality emphasis
Venables said last week how important the next 10 days were going to be in establishing a team identity and how tough the team is.
Part of that is watching guys start to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. The way you do that is through your mentality.
Venables was talking about defensive ends Ethan Downs and Reggie Grimes, but really it applies to all players at all positions.
“We're just teaching guys how to practice the right way,” Venables said. “When you go against a scout, you should dominate people. It's not just another walk-through or just going against the scouts. You should punish people. And on the flip side, the scouts should play so well that you make the defense or the offense go ‘We have to do the play again.’
“We call that a reload. If you're a varsity player, you don't ever want to hear ‘Reload.’ That means one of the varsity guys screwed up. The scout guy, he relishes that. He's like ‘Yeah, reload.’ You want to create a lot of competition on the field, even if it's against the scout.”
Nine guys for Bedenbaugh
It’s not quite a full two-deep, but it will definitely do right now for OU at the offensive line as Venables said he feels confident about nine guys playing winning football.
That’s the key. It’s not just bodies for depth, but guys who can actually play a huge role in getting the team where it needs to be. Five interior guys and four offensive tackles.
Venables said freshmen linemen Jacob Sexton and Jake Taylor are faring well, and a big difference has been Andrew Raym back to 100 percent after dealing with an ankle sprain and only practicing two days during the spring.
“We feel like we have a group of guys playing with plenty of confidence,” Venables said. “Still plenty of things we need to improve and show up every day with the right mindset and our best players have to show up every day and play at a high level. We feel, without question, better than where we were during the course of the spring.”
Venables said Wanya Morris and transfer Tyler Guyton are two tackles who have done a solid job through camp.
Backup QB still up for grabs
Venables wasn’t at a point where he felt comfortable to name a backup quarterback and a third-string quarterback. He said he’s going to let this week play out and then start to figure where everything stands.
When the media has been allowed to view practice, it has been Pitt transfer Davis Beville getting the majority of the No. 2 snaps and sometimes even giving Dillon Gabriel a breather and running the No. 1 reps.
Linebackers showing consistency
The loss of Roof is a blow for experience and production from the linebacker position, but Venables said he’s liked what he has seen from what he needs to be the heart and soul of the defense.
It’s down a couple of guys, but David Ugwoegbu, Danny Stutsman and DaShaun White have definitely been carrying the day through the first couple of weeks.
“But seeing those guys just grow and grow, getting better and better, more comfortable, and again as I’ve said many times, they’ve got to be the heart and soul of the defense,” Venables said. “So it’s been a group that I’ve been really pleased with from a consistency standpoint. Shown up every day, and then again, improvement from the start of camp to where we’re at right now.”
Quotable
“I see improvement and that's the biggest thing that we're looking for right now — cleanliness, improvement, aggressiveness, assuredness in everything that we're doing. I think we're growing and maturing on both sides of the ball.” – Venables | https://oklahoma.rivals.com/news/venables-using-his-blueprint | 2022-08-17T00:50:53Z | https://oklahoma.rivals.com/news/venables-using-his-blueprint | false | 1 |

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Perhaps it’s a sign of how much the Seattle Seahawks are likely counting on their two rookie offensive linemen to contribute immediately.
Several mornings during training camp there’s been extra meetings on top of the normal meetings for Charles Cross and Abe Lucas to try and get the duo up to speed and ready for what’s to come in their first NFL season.
Consider it an accelerated crash course.
“We have extra meetings with the rookies, myself or (assistant offensive line coach) Keli’i (Kekuewa) will meet with them extra,” Seattle offensive line coach Andy Dickerson said. “We have rookie meetings, but then he will grab them early in the morning sometimes, so you just keep giving them the information.”
It’s becoming clearer that Seattle intends to lean heavily on its two rookie draft picks going into this season. Cross was the No. 9 overall pick out of Mississippi State, the highest pick for the Seahawks since 2010 when they also drafted a left tackle — Russell Okung at No. 6 overall.
Lucas was Seattle’s third-round pick, a bullying right tackle from Washington State that provides the Seahawks a pair of bookends to build around now and into the future.
They both saw significant playing time in last weekend’s preseason opener against Pittsburgh. And they’re expected to start together on Thursday night against Chicago.
“I guess it’s been nice to just kind of have that same sort of mentality. I guess learning curve to climb (together) with a guy there who is my age going through the same stuff,” Lucas said.
Cross was regarded as one of the best pass blocking offensive linemen in last year’s draft, but run blocking was the question. The same question lingered about Lucas since both had played in the offensive systems of Mike Leach during their time in college.
For the first test against an opponent, both graded out well against the Steelers, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday.
“We ran a lot of stuff at Charles, he had a lot of frontside stuff, commanded his block on almost every play in the running game,” Carroll said. “What was really exciting was to see Abe on the back side. Abe had some dominant blocks.”
While it’s clear that Cross will be the starter at left tackle having taken basically every first-team snap throughout the offseason and training camp, Lucas is in a competition with Jake Curhan, who is entering his second season.
Curhan and Lucas seemed to split reps through the opening couple of weeks of camp. Lucas got the majority of the time with the No. 1 offense during Seattle’s first scrimmage. Curhan was the starter in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, but Lucas had perhaps the better performance, albeit against lesser competition.
Lucas is likely to get the start on Thursday as Curhan missed practice Tuesday because of back spasms.
“It’s really good stuff. It’s not different from what we’ve seen,” Carroll said. “That’s the cool thing. Those guys practiced and played the same.”
QB STATUS
Carroll said Drew Lock will start Seattle’s second preseason game on Thursday against Chicago, but that Geno Smith remains in the lead of the competition.
Carroll said the plan all along was for Smith to start the opener last weekend in Pittsburgh and Lock to get the nod in the second preseason game.
“Geno is still the No. 1 guy. He’s holding on to spot at this point,” Carroll said. “I really like what Drew has shown us.
INJURIES
Seattle rookie RB Ken Walker III is dealing with a hernia issue and the goal is that he will hopefully be ready by the season opener, Carroll said. Walker had five carries for 19 yards in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh. ... Seattle is also aiming to have WR Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) back in time for the season opener.

Canada may have finished the preliminary round undefeated, but teen star Connor Bedard says he and his teammates have more to give as they move on to elimination games at the world junior hockey championship.
The Canadians (4-0-0) sit at the top of the standings as they prepare to take on Switzerland (1-3-0) in Wednesday’s quarterfinals.
“I think our goal is still to get better every game,” Bedard said Monday after notching a goal and an assist in Canada’s 6-3 victory over Finland.
“Finland’s going to be one of the top teams and what we showed (on Monday) was pretty big for us. And we want to continue that momentum into Wednesday.”
Bedard’s play has been a highlight for Canada so far in the tournament.
The 17-year-old forward from North Vancouver, B.C., opened the scoring for the host nation in its 5-2 victory over Latvia and has put up at least one point in every game (three goals, four assists).
An early favourite to be the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL entry draft, Bedard is simply a special player, said captain Mason McTavish.
“There’s so many highlights of him,” he said. “He’s elite and his shot is just crazy.”
McTavish has been an offensive force for Canada and leads the tournament in scoring with 13 points (seven goals, six assists).
The 19-year-old Anaheim Ducks prospect has played a lot of hockey in recent months, helping the Hamilton Bulldogs to an Ontario Hockey League championship and pulling on the Maple Leaf at the Beijing Olympics.
A veteran of big games, McTavish said his mindset won’t change much heading into the quarterfinals.
“Obviously it’s an elimination game, anything can happen,” he said. “I think we’ve got to come out way sharper and with more jump off the start, kind of dictate the pace off the start.”
Canada trailed just once during the preliminary round, when Czechia — the country commonly known as the Czech Republic — opened the scoring in their round-robin matchup on Saturday. The Canadians roared back for a 5-1 victory.
Special teams have been key for Canada, which has converted on 6-of-10 power plays and conceded just two goals on 11 penalties.
Over the course of four games, the Canadians outscored their opponents 27-7 and they lead the world juniors with a plus-20 goal differential.
In order to see their tournament continue, the team needs to top the Swiss on Wednesday.
Switzerland clinched its quarterfinal berth with its lone win of the tournament so far, a 3-2 victory over Austria. But Canada knows nothing is for certain in the world juniors.
“We know (the Swiss) didn’t have the greatest success in this tournament but we know it’s a great team,” said Canadian forward Nathan Gaucher. “They’re going to be there, they’re going to challenge us. They’re a skill team, a little bit. So we’ve just got to play our best game, even better than the Finland game.”
Wednesday’s other quarterfinal matchups will see the reigning champion Americans (4-0-0) take on the Czechs (1-2-1), Sweden (3-1-0) battle Latvia (1-2-1), and Finland (3-1-0) face Germany (2-2-0).
Goalie Dylan Garand is the lone player on the Canadian team to have previously suited up for an elimination game at the world juniors.
The 20-year-old New York Rangers prospect was part of the squad that captured silver when the 2021 tournament was played in Edmonton without fans in the stands due to COVID-19 restrictions.
This year’s group isn’t concerned heading into the quarterfinals, Garand said.
“What we’re here to do is to win. So we’re not really scared of elimination (games),” he said. “We want to win those games and accomplish our goal of a gold medal.”

Plan to end railroad contract dispute calls for 24% raises
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The special board appointed by President Joe Biden to intervene in stalled railroad contract talks suggested Tuesday that 115,000 rail workers should get 24% raises and thousands of dollars in bonuses as part of a new agreement to avert a strike. Railroads and unions will use those recommendations as the basis for a new round of negotiations over the next month. It remains to be seen, however, whether railroads will agree to the higher wages or find ways to address union concerns about working conditions. If the two sides can’t agree on a new deal by mid September, federal law would allow a strike or lockout. But Congress is likely to intervene before then to keep the supply chain moving. A railroad strike could devastate businesses that rely on Union Pacific, BNSF, Norfolk Southern, CSX and other major freight railroads to deliver raw materials and ship their products. In past national rail labor disputes, lawmakers have voted to impose terms on the railroads before workers could strike. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2703216429145/trump-organization-cfo-s-tax-fraud-trial-set-for-october | 2022-08-17T00:54:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2703216429145/trump-organization-cfo-s-tax-fraud-trial-set-for-october | false | 2 |

Expand the "Shikigaku" theory to solve the low labor productivity issue in Japan! Aim for continued sales growth of at least 30%, and continue to invest heavily for growth.
TOKYO, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SHIKIGAKU Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:7049) , the company that primarily provides management consulting and platform services based on "Shikigaku," an organizational management theory grounded in original and unique logical concepts, recently has been reviewed by Borderless IR Co., Ltd.(BIR), an independent research and investor relations support company providing reports on various publicly traded Japanese companies. In this report, BIR provides analysis of the company's business model and earnings.
Report Highlights
SHIKIGAKU CO., LTD (7049 TSE Growth) was founded in March, 2015 in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, with a capital investment of 500 million yen under the corporate vision of "Disseminate Shikigaku and maximize people's potential". "Shikigaku" is a proprietary theory developed by analyzing the structure of human consciousness, and researching the causes of misunderstandings and misperceptions that impede behavior.
Business activities consists of five reporting segments: Management Consulting, Sports Entertainment, Contract Development, VC Funds, and Hands-On Support Funds. The core organization consulting business branch is classified broadly into two sectors, Management Consulting and Platform Services. Management consulting is a service that raises organizational productivity through the implementation and subsequent penetration of Shikigaku theory into the clientele organization based on Master Training, which was created by the Company. Platform Services consist of three components: "Shikigaku Basic Services", which provide ongoing operational support until organizational management grounded in its Shikigaku theory take hold; "Shikigaku Cloud", a web-based cloud service that supports clients; and "Shikigaku Members", a low-cost service that provides ongoing Shikigaku training and promotes the penetration and establishment of organizational management through exchanges with other members. Regarding other areas, in the Sports Entertainment business, the Company fulfills its function as a community-based club by conducting initiatives aimed at stimulating and expanding interest in local sports while also striving to facilitate strengthening the team in pursuit of promotion to the B1 League level. In the VC Fund business, the Company conducts investments focused on establishing and expanding organizational power and becoming a growth-generating organization. Meanwhile, it also operates venture capital funds that support growth by facilitating organizational improvements at companies in which they invest by implementing the Company's Shikigaku theory. In the Hands-On Support Fund business, the Company operates hands-on support funds that provide organizational improvement and finance support and draw income from capital gains generated through investment exit (IPO, M&A, etc.).
As of May, 2022, the number of companies that have utilized the management consulting service provided by Shikigaku has reached the 3,000 benchmark, and the number of publicly traded companies that have implemented the service has broken through the 100 company mark. Based on the current average amount of sales generated per customer, the Company estimates growth potential in the domestic market at 1.1 trillion yen (internal company estimate), and there is substantial room for development in regard to the 3.59 million companies in Japan. Shikigaku theory can be utilized in an extremely wide range of circumstances because of the ability to be implemented within any industry while also being applicable to non-corporate organizations. In recent years, comparatively low labor productivity has become a pressing issue in Japan, and there are expectations that Shikigaku theory will attract attention as a consulting method for improving labor productivity in Japan over the medium to long term. As part of its mid-term management plan, the Company has positioned the period from FY 2023/02 to FY 2025/02 as a period of investment, and intends to aggressively implement investments while generating a certain level of profit. There was a shift to a policy of expanding operating income while making the large investments necessary for medium to long term growth.The sales growth rate is specified as the most important management index, and as such the goal is to maintain a sales growth rate of 30% and above. The Company aims to achieve sales of 11 billion yen and operating income of 1.5 billion yen in the fiscal year ending FY 2026/02
Through the cumulative consolidated first quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023, the climate surrounding Shikigaku shows the market is demonstrating strong need for improvement in organizational productivity achieved through means such as results-based employee management and rule-oriented organizational management that generates results regardless of the workplace being utilized. Accordingly, demand for the Company's services remains robust.For the first quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year (1Q FY 2023/02) the Company reported net sales of 1,102 million yen, (+30.6% YoY). EBITDA (net sales + taxes + interest expense + depreciation + amortization) totaled 49 million yen (-43.7% YoY). Operating profit totaled 33 million yen (-52.9% YoY). Ordinary profit totaled 20 million yen (65.2% YoY). Net profit attributable to owners of the parent totaled 26 million yen (compared to net profit attributable to owners of the parent for the same period of the previous year was 21 million yen). The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023 is net sales of 4,962 million yen (+29.8% from the previous year), operating income of 400 million yen (+11.3% from the previous year), and ordinary income of 382 million yen (+10.4% from the previous year). Net income attributable to owners of the parent company was 204 million yen (-9.1% from the previous year).
The Company considers continuous expansion of corporate value and the return of profits to shareholders to be important management issues. The dividend policy planned moving forward is to return profits to shareholders through profit distribution; taking into consideration the operating results and financial position of each fiscal year, while maintaining a sound financial structure and balancing retained earnings to prepare for future business expansion. For the time being however, the Company's policy is to prioritize large-scale investments for growth and continue to pay no dividends.

If your house were burning right under your feet — how many books would burn, which will survive by accident of where they land, etc.\nIt made him look older (like the grandiose picture in her journal): a heavyset nose in an elegant shell—-a mutton outdo on the ward dress, it hung at last on long shatterable rib. My grandma taught music and so our old victoria and tiff with its rag-top-d For the fourth time in eight years, West Catholic has a new head football coach.
Landon Grove takes over the reigns of the Falcons program after leading Gibraltar Carlson to a 9-2 season in 2021.
"I definitely think it's been a very good thing," West Catholic senior defensive back and wide receiver Caleb Clinger said. "Right when he came in, he put us right to work. We started doing zero hours in the morning, and he brought back a lot of people on staff that won championships that were part of championship staffs, especially our defensive coordinator, Coach (Darren) Smith. He's great. He gets the defense going, I love playing for him. And I think Coach Grove just really brought the intensity in right away."
One key returner for the Falcons is senior running back Tim Kloska who has already set the school's all-time career rushing record.
Kloska committed to the Air Force over the summer.
"We have a lot of good skill players," Grove said. "We're going to try to spread the spread the ball, distribute the wealth a little bit more. Obviously, when you have a kid like him (Kloska), you got to give him touches. But, Carter Perry's had a great summer for us. Ryer Snow had a really good summer Joe Debski. We have a couple other backs who have done a nice job and Elliott Zainea and Charlie DeBruyn so we feel really good about our depth trying our best to not have it be so much the Timmy show and try to distribute the wealth a little bit more this year."
"I'm not worried about being all the team," Kloska said. "I really like that we can spread the ball out give it to other athletes in space because it just really opens the playbook."
West Catholic opens the season on Friday August 26th against Edwardsburg at Hope College.

How the Huskers used a wet morning to prepare for Ireland
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - These days rain is embraced all across the state but for a different reason outside Memorial Stadium. With the Huskers set to open the season in Dublin, Ireland where it rains about a third of the year, Bill Busch took full advantage of the misty conditions this morning in Lincoln. The ground was wet and it was good for the snappers, kickers and punters to work through the conditions they might see next week.
With a special teams coordinator the unit will be under the microscope and there aren’t any details that are too small. It cost the Huskers at least one win last season.
Brian Buschini, who joined the team this offseason, is expected to be the starting punter and he’s not concerned about slippery balls. Brian grew up in Montana and last season in much tougher conditions he was named the FCS Punter of the Year. Brian is also a sophomore and has three years of eligibility. He will also be graduating this spring.

Elon Musk claims he’s buying Manchester United in shock announcement amid Twitter legal battle
ELON MUSK has dropped another bombshell - claiming he's buying Manchester United.
The 51-year-old made the shock announcement on Twitter late on Tuesday night.
Manchester United are owned by the Glazer family, who also run the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It was unclear whether the Tesla CEO was serious about his bid to buy the Premier League club.
Man Utd are one of the biggest sports teams in the world but have fallen on hard times in recent years.
They haven't won the league since 2013 and their fans have protested many times against the owners.
The club are still a commercial powerhouse and valued around £4billion - just shy of $5billion.
Musk tweeted on Tuesday night: "Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome."
In more confusion, Musk tweeted as a direct reply another of his posts about politics.
The initial tweet read: "To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!"

Musk, 51, faces a fiery legal battle against Twitter for dramatically pulling out of a $44billion buyout.
It's been a whirlwind few months for Musk and Twitter, as the billionaire decided to pull out of the deal in a dispute over fake account bots.
The entrepreneur believes there are far more bots on Twitter than officials claim and accuses them of not providing enough information to settle his purchase.
Unhappy with the backtracking, bosses have decided to take Musk to court.
Lawyers for both sides will go head-to-head in Delaware Chancery Court starting on October 17 and continuing for five days.
Twitter's team had requested to begin the trial as early as September to prevent Musk from further disparaging the company.
Musk wanted things to start in February 2023, claiming a "warp speed" trial is an attempt to derail his argument the platform is cluttered with spambots. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19532257/elon-musk-manchester-united/ | 2022-08-17T01:31:08Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19532257/elon-musk-manchester-united/ | true | 3 |

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez eloped in Las Vegas last month, then they went on a family holiday/honeymoon in Paris. Ben returned to LA, and J.Lo did a photoshoot in Italy, then she returned to LA as well. Over the weekend, the blended family went to New York for some shopping and brunching. I assumed that they would travel to the Hamptons (where Jennifer has a home) for a late-summer beach vacation before school starts. Except not – it looks like the Lofflecks are headed to Georgia, where Ben owns a home. Page Six claims that Ben and J.Lo will have their big wedding party there this coming weekend.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are having their dream wedding celebration one month after tying the knot in Las Vegas. The couple will celebrate their nuptials this weekend, and it’ll be a wedding party fit for the pages of Vogue, we hear.
“It’s going to be all about J.Lo. Ben wants all of the focus to be on her for their big day,” an insider exclusively tells Page Six.
Their three-day “intimate celebration for family and friends” will kick off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, our insider shares.
The actual ceremony will take place on Saturday, and the couple will close out their weekend with a barbecue and picnic on Sunday.
Lopez, 53, is expected to wear a custom couture Ralph Lauren dress made in Italy, and Vogue magazine is expected to document her fashion journey for the weekend.
Page Six previously reported that A-list event planner to the stars Colin Cowie is behind all of the details for their lavish celebration. Cowie’s price tag ranges from $25,000 to $25 million, and he’s produced events for the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan and even Lopez in the past.
Sources told us Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Casey Affleck and Drea de Matteo are a few of the stars who made the couple’s guest list. TMZ reported last month that the event will take place on Affleck’s estate in Riceboro, Georgia.
[From Page Six]
I’m happy for them? I think the biggest hump was getting Ben down the aisle, and now that J.Lo is officially wifed up, everything seems to be going smoothly. If Ben really wants J.Lo to have the big, splashy wedding of her dreams, then I’m happy that he knows his wife so well. Plus, this doesn’t seem like the biggest wedding production in the world – sure, she hired Colin Cowie and I imagine money is no object, but there’s basically only been a month of planning. I can’t wait for the Vogue editorial too – I wonder if Anna Wintour will give the Lofflecks a cover.

Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie says the opposition needs to tell Scott Morrison to resign immediately over revelations he gave himself five secret portfolios.
However former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce said the former prime minister has not done anything illegal and there are concerns about setting a precedent.

It comes as it is now revealed ASIO was also kept in the dark that Mr Morrison secretly appointed himself as joint minister in health, finance, treasury, home affairs and the industry, science and resources portfolios.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has described the revelations as "weird" and as an "unprecedented trashing of our democracy", while ordering the Solicitor-General to investigate further and report back over the affair on Monday.
Liberal frontbencher Karen Andrews is leading the Coalition voices calling for Mr Morrison to resign, although The Canberra Times has spoken to another senior Coalition figure urging him to leave as soon as possible so the Liberals can move forward as a party.
Senator Lambie is urging the Liberal party to tap Mr Morrison on the shoulder.
"He needs to be told," she told RN Breakfast on Wednesday.
"You cannot just close your eyes on this and allow him to just walk around like he's still a member of Parliament ... It's time for him to go. It's time for Scott Morrison to resign. Enough damage has been done already."
READ MORE:
The former prime minister has apologised, in a long Facebook post, to colleagues who have been offended by his actions, although he did not explain the need for secrecy.
Senator Lambie said public trust in politicians is very low and the revelations surrounding Mr Morrison are not helping.
"I can tell you, unless they start to gather themselves together and start standing together as one, they are going to become non-existent, whether they would hear that this morning or not, but that is where you are heading," she said.
But while investigations continue, former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has stated Mr Morrison has not broken any law or has done anything illegal.
"Improper? Well, that's a question to take up with Mr Morrison. But illegal? No," he said.
"Do I think it is the right thing to do? No, it's not. Why? Because we have a cabinet system of government. We do not have a presidential system of government."
Mr Joyce indicated the concern was around setting a precedent.
"Well, gee whiz, if you're gonna use that as the test, let's make sure we stick to this term of government and anytime there's something improper, will immediately ask for someone's head on a spike," he told the ABC.
"Even the Labor Party wouldn't agree to that one."

The one time Mr Morrison used his extra powers was to override then resources minister Keith Pitt to reject the gas exploration permit for the PEP-11 to be granted off the NSW coast.
Mr Joyce insists Mr Pitt should have made the decision, not the then prime minister.
"It should not have been Scott Morrison, it should have been Keith Pitt," he said.
Meantime, Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil has confirmed the chief of ASIO, Mike Burgess, did not know Morrison was the minister for home affairs for a significant period of government.
"If you don't understand how vulnerable that made us, you should not be in parliament," she said.
Ms O'Neil also said there is no confidence that Mr Morrison did not make decisions as home affairs minister.

DISTURBING: Councilman charged after 7 children found in ‘filthy’ home, authorities say
WEST UNION, W. Va. (WDTV/Gray News) - A councilman in West Virginia is facing child neglect charges after officers say several children were found living in an unsanitary and filthy home.
WDTV reports child protective services and officers responded to a West Union home to investigate a complaint on July 11.
Authorities say officers made contact with 58-year-old Edward Barker when they arrived at the home.
Officials shared that the home was in “very unsanitary and filthy” conditions. Children inside the house were “physically dirty” with matted hair and “smelled of body odor and urine.”
Officers said there were dog feces on the home’s floors and beds with no sheets or blankets with what looked like urine stains on them.
Deputies also said cockroaches were crawling inside the home and refrigerator.
Child protective services reportedly filed a petition and removed seven children from the home who were from 4 years old to 14 years old.
According to the Doddridge County Sheriff’s Department, Barker was charged with child neglect. He was booked into the North Central Regional Jail on a $75,000 bond.

Hydrogen has the potential to help decarbonize many of the sectors and applications that depend on emissions-intensive fossil fuels, including fossil gas. Clean hydrogen[i] projects are therefore increasingly talked about and also piloted in several countries to support their decarbonization goals.
Hydrogen is expected to be an important piece of the clean technology toolkit as it has the potential to help decarbonize the hardest-to-abate uses such as heavy industry (e.g., iron and steel, chemicals), long-haul aviation, and maritime shipping. Globally, the iron and steel sector accounted for approximately 5%, chemicals for 4%, aviation for 2%, and maritime shipping for 2% of net global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions will need to be cut significantly if the world is to meet its net-zero emissions ambitions by mid-century.
According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global Hydrogen Review, in 2020 hydrogen demand stood at around 90 million tonnes (Mt) (see image below) this includes about 18.6 Mt as a by-product in refineries. Hydrogen was produced mainly from fossil fuels, resulting in about 900Mt of CO2 emissions, almost as large as Japan’s carbon emissions in 2020. Green hydrogen (produced via electrolysis of water using 100% renewable electricity) accounted for a mere 0.1% of global hydrogen production.
Recently, there has been significant interest from industry, policymakers, and energy-transition analysts to explore the potential role of clean hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels, as it could reduce emissions from energy-intensive sectors. Some of the largest energy-consuming countries have waded with vigor into the hydrogen production and end-use dialogue. With so much interest in this emerging technology, countries planning to ramp up hydrogen deployment must ensure investments are efficient, well-regulated, and meaningfully advance climate goals.
Hydrogen production and use must be well regulated
Hydrogen is currently seeing significant political and business interest, with the number of policies and projects expanding rapidly. According to the IEA, in late 2021 the announced hydrogen electrolyser -project pipeline reached over 260 GW globally. However, as enabling measures required for hydrogen projects are evolving, few projects have reached a final investment decision (FID).
As clean hydrogen production and use ramp up, it will be vital for policymakers and the private sector to ensure that all hydrogen deployment supports stated climate goals cost-effectively, protects communities’ health and that all known risks are effectively addressed. For example, hydrogen infrastructure, just like fossil gas infrastructure, can be prone to leakage. This infrastructure could include compressors, liquefiers, storage tanks, geologic storage facilities, pipelines, trucks, trains, ships, and fueling stations. It’s therefore vital that, as hydrogen is increasingly used in new applications, rigorous national and global safety standards are implemented to minimize the occurrence of accidents and emissions leakage.
Recent scientific research shows that hydrogen could have a higher warming impact than previously estimated. The Environmental Defense Fund estimates that hydrogen emissions could have up to 60 times more warming impact than an equal amount of CO2 over a 10-year period. It is therefore critical that policymakers and regulators address potential hydrogen leakage with urgency and develop and adopt solutions and practices that rigorously measure and minimize any leaks across its value chain. An early area to tackle is the up-and-coming conversation on hydrogen blending in existing fossil gas infrastructure, which is prone to significant leakage.
Hydrogen blending in existing fossil gas infrastructure is a risky and inefficient venture
Currently, fossil gas utilities are promoting hydrogen as a technology that will support their existing business models while meeting regulatory and policy goals to cut emissions. However, the proposals for injecting and blending hydrogen into existing gas pipelines are not without risks.
For starters, blending hydrogen in gas pipelines raises safety concerns. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recently released a study on hydrogen blending as part of its plans to consider renewable hydrogen as a component in California’s decarbonization strategy. The CPUC study concludes that blending hydrogen at shares over as little as 5% in existing fossil gas pipelines begins posing safety risks, including increased chances of leaks and degrading of steel pipelines.
An analysis published by the Fraunhofer Institute in early 2022 suggests similar warning signs around the prospect of blending hydrogen into fossil gas distribution systems across Europe. They find that hydrogen blending is an inefficient use of limited European green hydrogen resources. In fact, hydrogen delivers three times less energy relative to fossil gas. This means that a higher hydrogen-fossil gas mix is needed to deliver the same amount of energy to the end consumer, which significantly dilutes the emissions reductions of using hydrogen. The study suggests that a far more cost-effective strategy to achieve emissions reductions is instead to directly use green hydrogen in sectors that cannot be easily electrified, for example, steel and chemical feedstocks.
Globally, countries are moving ahead with announcing national policies and support mechanisms for the burgeoning hydrogen sector. We highlight some important examples in the table below.
Hydrogen production and use must not further entrench global fossil fuel use. Hydrogen’s decarbonization pathway from the current minuscule 0.1% of green hydrogen share to a 100% non-fossil-based hydrogen value chain needs a long-term strategy and policy guidance. Governments and industries must begin this shift now.
Overall green hydrogen can play a key role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, including fertilizer, maritime shipping, and steel. An evidence-based deployment of green hydrogen could deliver real climate benefits and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. However, it will be vital for policymakers and the private sector to:
- Target hydrogen deployment in applications that may not have other viable solutions—notably, hard-to-electrify applications; and
- Adopt the strictest standards and principles relating to hydrogen deployment and investments in infrastructure to avoid hydrogen becoming a significant climate and public health risk.
[i] Clean hydrogen: The 2021 U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Act defines ‘clean hydrogen’ as hydrogen produced with a carbon intensity equal to or less than 2 kilograms of CO2-equivalent produced at the site of production per kilogram of hydrogen produced (kg-CO2/kg-H2). It is often used as a catch-all term that ropes in a range of technologies that could enable emissions reductions.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and will miss the team’s preseason game against Chicago.
The Seahawks issued a statement regarding Lock’s positive test about two hours following the end of Tuesday’s practice in which Lock was a full participant and led the No. 1 offense. Before learning of the positive test, Seattle coach Pete Carroll announced that Lock would start Thursday’s game against the Bears after he served as the backup to Geno Smith in last weekend’s preseason game in Pittsburgh.
Lock was acquired from Denver as part of the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos and has been competing with Smith for the starting job with the Seahawks. Carroll said Tuesday the plan all along was for Smith to start the preseason opener and have Lock get the nod for the second game.
“This was part of the plan. Regardless of what happened, we were going to give Drew a chance to start a game to see what happens,” Carroll said after practice. “Fortunately, he has played really well, and he deserves a shot to play, just like everybody deserves a shot to play and show what they can do, so we’ve been able to stick to it.”
Lock will have to be away from the team for several days, but should have a chance at returning in time for Seattle’s preseason finale on Aug. 26 at Dallas. Still, the game against the Bears was expected to be Lock's chance at leading the starting offense and perhaps overtaking Smith in the race to be Seattle's starting QB.
Lock is the second prominent person for the Seahawks to test positive during training camp. Carroll was away from the team for five days during the opening week of camp after testing positive.

,
Raewyn, team leader of the Stratford Daffodil Day committee, says this year's selection includes some favourites from previous years.

Longshot congressional candidate Suraj Patel is claiming primary rival Rep. Jerrold Nadler has publicly turned his back on fellow Democrats like President Biden and former President Barack Obama.
Patel slammed Nadler in a new campaign ad Tuesday for saying during a debate earlier this month that it was “too early” to determine whether he would support a potential Biden reelection bid in 2024.
“It was reckless,” the ad’s narrator says of the Biden gaffe.
The spot then references comments Nadler made during the 2008 controversy surrounding Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
“He didn’t have the political courage to make the statement of walking out,” Nadler said at the time, before the then-Illinois senator resigned his membership in the Chicago-based Trinity United Church of Christ.
Even though Obama shrugged off the controversy to win the White House, Patel argued the lack of support from veteran Dems like Nadler led to the GOP taking control of the House in 2010.
“We’ve seen the history,” he told The Post in a phone interview. “It’s inexplicable to me in both cases why you would provide ammunition to … Republicans.”
Nadler has scored a pair of coveted endorsements in the 12th Congressional District primary in recent days, winning the support of the New York Times editorial board and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
But Patel insists Nadler and Rep. Carolyn Maloney – who has said twice that she doesn’t even think Biden will launch a bid for a second term – are fair weather Democrats.
“Those two have been touting their seniority, when they made the most rookie mistake in politics and threw their president under the bus!” he said of the two septuagenarians – Nadler is 75 and Maloney is 76.
“I think Democrats need to focus on their wins and act like winners.”
Neither Nadler nor Maloney’s campaigns immediately returned a request for comment. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/us/suraj-patel-accuses-nadler-of-reckless-abandonment-of-biden-obama/302227/ | 2022-08-17T01:53:55Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/us/suraj-patel-accuses-nadler-of-reckless-abandonment-of-biden-obama/302227/ | true | 3 |
On a day when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expanded his new Cabinet after joining hands with the RJD in Bihar, the BJP central leadership asked its state leaders to gear up for an aggressive fight – Sadak se Sadan – for Mission 2024, during a meeting with the core group members of its Bihar unit at the party headquarters on Tuesday.
The Bihar leaders have been asked to take the development – Nitish’s exit from the NDA to join hands with the RJD-led Grand Alliance against whom it fought the last Assembly elections – as “an opportunity for the party to emerge as a formidable force”, sources said. “We have been asked to put up an aggressive fight – from every corner and every angle. We have to reach out to every section of society,” said a leader who was part of the meeting. Sources said the party has decided to strengthen its booth committees in the coming days and there was no discussion on changes in the state unit.
BJP president J P Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh attended the meeting with the Bihar unit leaders. “The new alliance in Bihar is a betrayal with the people and it has given a backdoor entry to Lalu raj. We will have ‘Sadak se Sadan’ protests…The party will contest the elections under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and with the messiah of the poor at the helm, the BJP will win more than 35 seats [Lok Sabha],” BJP Bihar president Sanjay Jaiswal said after the meeting.
Admitting that fighting elections alone in Bihar will be a tough task, party leaders, however, said a robust organisation on the ground will make it easier. “For the BJP, Lok Sabha elections will be very comfortable. Every person in Bihar has seen how dedicated Prime Minister Modi is for their cause. They know that Modiji is also from a backward community and that he is committed to Bihar’s development. Every seat the alliance won was because of this trust,” Ravi Shankar Prasad, former Union minister and MP from Bihar, told The Indian Express.
Subscriber Only Stories
Earlier in the day, Jaiswal said in the last eight years, the BJP has built individual teams for more than 63,000 of the total 74,000 booths in Bihar. “We have teams for every booth. We are confident that it will help the party to get more than 35 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, and two-thirds majority in the next Assembly elections,” Jaiswal said.
Although the meeting did not discuss any changes in the state unit, sources said there could be a rejig.
With JDU breaking away, the BJP’s biggest fear is its support base among the Most Backward Castes (MBCs) or Extremely Backward Castes (EBCs), which Kumar had brought in for the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the 2020 state elections. In the caste-based political equations and electoral tests, the combination of Muslims and Yadavs (the traditional support base of the RJD) with the MBCs, which account for 17 per cent, can create a serious threat to the BJP. In at least eight districts in Mithila and Magadh regions, the party had heavily banked on Nitish’s goodwill. The NDA had won 39 of the 40 seats – 16 for JDU, 17 for BJP and six for LJP – in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The BJP argues that it was the popularity of Modi and the welfare schemes initiated by his government at the Centre that had played a key role in the victory of the NDA in the two elections.
Party leaders admitted that wrong calculations in Bihar could cost the party dear in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, because it is the only eastern state where the party can expect a decent tally while the picture is yet not clear in West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha.

Biden signs Inflation Reduction Act
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law Tuesday, August 16.
Biden said measure will allow spending on combating climate change and improving healthcare at the expense of increasing taxes on large corporations and drug manufacturers.
“The American people won, and the special interests lost,” the president said.
The $750 billion extends subsidies as part of the “Affordable Care Act,” reduces Medicare drug prices, and provides tax credits for clean energy items like solar panels.
The EPA said the act will go a long way in reducing the U.S. carbon footprint through measures like tax credits for solar panels.
(Michael Regan: Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency)
“This is good for the planet, it’s good for families, it’s good for global competitiveness,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said. “This is a win, win, win.”
The new law will also provide Americans with tax credits for electric cars.
“It means lower costs for Americans in several ways, including for a transportation specific example, lower costs of electric vehicles,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said. “These are vehicles where you can save a lot of money, but only if you can afford to buy them in the first place. So we’ve been fighting to lower the price.”
But Republicans said the bill will cost consumers more money through tax increases. They also take issue with increasing the IRS budget by $80 billion.
(Rep. Michael Guest: (R) Mississippi)
“It creates an army of IRS agents and at a time when Americans, many of which are struggling to purchase gas. To put groceries and food on their table which will actually increase inflation, not decrease it,” Rep. Michael Guest, R-MS, said.
Most economists say the act will have virtually no effect on inflation in the next several years.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary incident report regarding a plane’s emergency landing and a co-pilot’s fatal fall mid-flight in North Carolina last month.
In late July, a small aircraft made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) after losing its main wheel. Officials later found the body of Charles Hew Crooks and released 911 calls revealing that he may have jumped from the aircraft.
Before the incident, the pilot-in-command (PIC) – whose name has not been released – said that the plane flew two skydiving runs, then descended to the Raeford West Airport to pick up a third group of skydivers.
According to the report, Crooks was flying into Raeford when the plane descended below the tree line and “dropped.” Crooks attempted to maneuver the plane, but, before he could stop the sink rate and initiate a climb, the right main landing gear hit the surface of the runway.
The PIC said he then instructed Crooks to declare an emergency and request a diversion to RDU. While flying to RDU, the PIC flew the plane and Crooks communicated with air traffic control.
Shortly after the plane diverted to RDU, Crooks “became visibly upset about the hard landing,” the report said.
In his final transmission to air traffic control, Crooks acknowledged the path the plane was heading.
The newly released NTSB report said Crooks then opened the cockpit window because he “may have gotten sick” and felt like he needed air. The PIC explained there was also some turbulence during the flight.
Crooks then reportedly lowered the ramp in the back of the airplane.
The report said Crooks “got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized, and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door.”
There was a bar about six feet above the ramp, but the pilot said he did not see Crooks grab it before exiting the plane.
About a minute-and-a-half after Crooks told air traffic control where the plane was heading, the PIC told air traffic control that Crooks exited the plane without a parachute.
The plane then made an emergency landing at RDU and was retained for further examination. The pilot was taken to the hospital, where officials said he was okay.
The full report can be read below.
Shortly after the plane landed, local emergency units began searching for Crooks. Authorities were flagged down by someone who heard a noise in their yard. Crooks was then found dead in the Sonoma Springs Neighborhood, roughly 30 miles south of RDU.
Crooks’ father Hew told Nexstar’s WNCN that his son was “very serious” and an experienced, professional commercial pilot. Crooks was also a flight instructor for a company based at RDU. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/pilot-may-have-gotten-sick-before-deadly-mid-flight-fall-in-north-carolina-ntsb-report-reveals/ | 2022-08-17T01:57:15Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/pilot-may-have-gotten-sick-before-deadly-mid-flight-fall-in-north-carolina-ntsb-report-reveals/ | false | 27 |
10 fun facts you may not know about the Park City Library
PARK CITY, Utah — We all know that we can rent books from the library or grab a coffee at Lucky Ones , but did you know that the Park City Library is a powerhouse of research help, cultural education, rental equipment, and events? There’s much more than meets the eye when it comes to our local library.
10. The building wasn’t always the Library
1255 Park Ave was built in 1927 as the new building for Park City High School. It was built for $200,000, according to the Park City Museum , which would cost $3,405,873.56 today. In 1977, it was converted to the Carl Winters Middle School, and in 1981 abandoned until 1995.
9. Outdoor Space
Yes, there’s the patio outside of Lucky Ones that offers pup, playtime, and park views, but did you know there’s an upstairs deck? On the second floor, off of the quiet room area, are two deck spaces. One with tall tables and some umbrellas, the other with a large table, umbrella, and scattered chairs.
Lael encourages folks to grab a coffee or snack from Lucky Ones and enjoy it on the deck with a newspaper or book.
8. Supports local artists and cultures
On the second floor of the library, you will find rotating featured art. Currently, illustrations by Utahn Brooke Smart don the walls highlighting women that advocated for women’s advancement, mainly in Utah.
For pride month, the library organized an LGBTQIA ‘ Living Library ’ where curious community members could rent someone in the LGBTQIA+ community for a conversation.
“We had a parent and child attend the Living Library event this summer. They both sat with community members to learn about the LGBTQ+ community and navigating personal identity. It was a heartwarming experience that the Library and the City’s LGBTQ+ task force could provide a safe space for community members to speak with each other,” said Senior Community Engagement Librarian Becca Lael.
The library also has a Sustainability Resource Center with a seed bank, a bike that produces electricity, a lettuce tower, and informational resources.
7. Subscriptions and Research Tools
Ever get into a New York Times article just to be blocked when the going gets good? The Library offers free access to The New York Times, Consumer Reports, LinkedIn Learning, and more. Learn a language with Mango, give the kids “librarian-approved screen-time,” or watch Sundance films with streaming service Kanopy.
6. Rent almost anything
The Library has a variety of rentable equipment, games, tools, and camping gear. From sewing machines and giant Jenga to photography and video equipment and gardening tools, start in on any project or hobby without the monetary commitment to trying it out first.

Sensory bags can be checked out at the front desk that include items like headphones and fidget tools.
3. Park City room
The Park City room has a microform machine to peruse and research old Park City documents and newspapers. It also has Park City-related books, police records, Utah legal codes, magazines, Sundance catalogs, and an ongoing puzzle.
2. Full-time Spanish services librarian
For the first time ever, the Park City Library has a librarian dedicated to Spanish speakers and services like Spanish story time and Spanish-speaking events. There is an entire section with Spanish texts and books.
“Our library’s staff is on of our strengths,” said Lael. “They make the library a welcoming and thriving place. One thing I love about our staff is that if you bring your child into the Library, they treat the child as their customer, not just talking only to the parent. Staff help children find what they are looking for and learn about their interests to foster the best experience they can have at the Library.”
1. Events
From movie screenings to bilingual storytime to author visits, the Library keeps busy throughout the year. You may have attended the 4 th of July used book sale.

Mechanic repair chain Ultra Tune used money from a marketing budget funded by franchisees to pay for its “rubber girl” brand ambassadors, including former partners of the company’s owner Sean Buckley, to appear on the cover of men’s magazines.
Ultra Tune also spent millions on a series of controversial TV ads, including more than $600,000 on producing advertisements depicting Charlie Sheen helping women onto his boat after they crash their car off a pier, and more than $732,000 on production costs for ads starring former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
The figures are contained in independently audited financial statements that show the company spent more than $7 million annually on marketing in the 2019 and 2020 financial years.
The statements form part of an affidavit lodged in the Federal Court as part of legal action recently lodged by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The way the marketing funds have been used is not the subject of any legal proceedings or investigations by the ACCC, but the consumer watchdog alleges the company has breached court orders imposed on it in 2019 by failing to prepare statements about the fund’s expenditure on time.
However, the company’s use of marketing funds has rankled some former Ultra Tune franchisees, who say customers would regularly raise concerns with them that the campaigns featuring the “rubber girls” ambassadors were sexist and inappropriate.
An Ultra Tune spokesman said the company’s controversial advertising campaign was found to have been highly successful in increasing brand profile and awareness and had driven sales.
“The ‘Unexpected Situations’ series of TV, print, online and social media advertisements and related promotional activities were highly successful over the five years of the campaign, with the ultimate test being the level of turnover growth which benefits both franchisor and franchisees, brand profile and brands awareness,” the spokesman said.
The spokesman conceded that some franchisees and members of the public were uncomfortable with the campaign.
“Some franchisees liked the previous campaigns, some did not like the previous campaigns, and some did not like the previous campaigns at a personal level but were supportive as business owners given the effectiveness.”
The company confirmed it had retired its “Unexpected Situations” commercials and associated marketing after a change in direction over the past two years.
“The world has moved on and so has Ultra Tune,” the spokesman said.
Emails from 2019 and 2020 obtained by The Age detail conversations between the Australian publisher of men’s magazine Maxim and Ultra Tune employees, who discussed fees to be paid by the auto company so their “brand ambassadors” would appear in the magazine.
According to the emails, the $120,000 annual deal included advertising and saw a number of girls featured on the covers of Maxim and in the magazine’s annual “Hot 100” list.
In March 2020, the marketing agency contracted by Ultra Tune emailed the publisher of Maxim in Australia, saying he had been tasked by the company’s marketing committee to “provide greater accountability for all marketing expenditure”.
“Whilst Sean is keen to continue his partnership with Maxim, I have been tasked with developing a rationale for its ongoing purpose/inclusion in our marketing activities,” he said.
One of the brand ambassadors featured on the front cover of Maxim was Jennifer Cole, Buckley’s former partner. Other ambassadors who were featured in the magazine and also had relationships with Buckley include Laura Lydall and Giuliana Migliorini.
The Ultra Tune spokesman said the Maxim deal was only a small part of their campaign and confirmed Buckley had been in relationships with some women featured in the magazines.
“You have specifically asked whether Mr Buckley had been in a relationship with any of the previous ambassadors/influencers. The answer is yes ... The relevant issue is not whether Mr Buckley had a
personal relationship with an ambassador/influencer, but the commercial benefits of the campaigns by reference to the key metrics,” the spokesman said.
In 2019, Ultra Tune was fined $2 million for a number of breaches of the franchising code, including a failure to ensure their marketing fund statements were prepared on time and had sufficient detail about expenditures.
The code requires a franchisor to prepare, have audited and distribute marketing fund statements within set timeframes if a franchisee is required to pay money into the fund.
Ultra Tune was required to follow a court-ordered compliance program, which the ACCC alleges it has breached because it was late in producing and distributing the marketing fund documents.
Ultra Tune’s marketing income and expenditure statements show the company spent about $150,000 a year on fees for “brand ambassadors”, a role it describes as “promoting Ultra Tune brand on social media platforms and such other social media platform as directed from time to time, appear on the television commercials, and general promotional work”.
In the year to June 2019, the company paid $1.91 million in television advertising and $611,411 in production costs for “Charlie Sheen Off The Pier”. The following year, the company spent almost $1 million on television advertising, as well as $732,754 for “production costs” related to Pamela Anderson.
Ultra Tune’s Baywatch-themed ad, which starred Anderson and former AFL star Warwick Capper, was the most complained about ad in the first half of 2020, according to the Advertising Standards Bureau.
Roland Rahlinger ended his involvement with Ultra Tune last month, after operating a franchise for more than 20 years.
“They never told us what they were spending the money on. We never had any control. They would just say these are our new ads,” he said.
“But I had a lot of customers who had the shits with the commercials. They were saying: ‘What’s with these rubber girls? It’s all just so sexist’.”
Steve Jermyn ran an Ultra Tune franchise in the NSW city of Nowra for a decade before ending his association in May. He strongly opposed the company’s controversial “rubber girls” campaign.
“It’s just disgusting. I came from a corporate background with Hewlett-Packard and I knew what he was doing was wrong, but as a franchisee you had no input,” he said.
“We had no say on where the money was being spent, but one of the main complaints to Ultra Tune, certainly over the first seven years, was the advertising. When they had Mike Tyson (in a commercial) I had a woman come in the front door and she screamed ‘how dare you have a convicted rapist as your marketing person’.”
“I said, look, I agree with you, but there’s nothing I can do.”
In a video uploaded to YouTube towards the end of last year, Buckley said Ultra Tune’s ad campaigns were designed to disrupt and create controversy.
“In the old days, you’d have a car mechanic on TV saying, ‘Come to us, we’ll give you the best price and best service’. People aren’t going to buy that rubbish. People are desensitised to that. You’ve got to have a different gimmick or a different type of angle to attract people,” he said.
He said in the video that he was engaged to one of the stars of the advertisement, Laura Lydall, at the time they filmed the early advertisements.
In the video, Ultra Tune’s national marketing manager Rod Cedaro said Buckley decided to be “a little bit politically incorrect and to try to create some controversy, so the rubber girls were born”. | https://www.smh.com.au/national/victoria/ultra-tune-marketing-budget-paid-for-rubber-girls-to-appear-in-men-s-magazines-20220816-p5ba69.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | 2022-08-17T02:00:50Z | https://www.smh.com.au/national/victoria/ultra-tune-marketing-budget-paid-for-rubber-girls-to-appear-in-men-s-magazines-20220816-p5ba69.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | true | 9 |
PIEDMONT — At press time, six candidates had qualified to run Nov. 8 for Piedmont City Council and two had qualified to run for the city’s school board.
The filing deadline for City Council candidates closed Aug. 12. Filing for the Piedmont Unified School District Board of Education was extended to Wednesday of this week because incumbent Megan Pillsbury, who was eligible for re-election, chose not to run. Board member Amal Smith is termed out, leaving the school board with two open seats.
There are three openings on the City Council. Betsy Smegal Andersen is seeking another term; Mayor Teddy Gray King will be termed out; and Councilmember Jennifer Long is running to keep her council seat. Long was appointed to the council on an interim basis after former Councilmember Tim Rood moved out of Piedmont in December.
In addition to Andersen and Long, those who qualified to run for council are Nancy “Sunny” Bostrom-Fleming, Bridget McInerney Harris, Jeanne Solnordal and Tom Ramsey. Avnish Patel took out papers to run for council and school board but did not return council papers by the filing deadline.
At press time, Patel, Shirley Hooi and Christine Rennels had until Wednesday of this week to turn in their paperwork to run for school board, while Lindsay Thomasson and Ruchi Medhekar had qualified to run for the board. Residents wishing to become write-in candidates can obtain nomination paperwork from the city clerk’s office from Sept. 12 to Oct. 25.
Council candidate Ramsey, 59, has spent seven years on the Piedmont Planning Commission and has served on the seismic advisory committee. He has also served with Boy Scouts of America’s community service crew for more than a decade. On his candidate statement, Ramsey wrote that he has lived in Piedmont for 25 years and has daughters who graduated from Piedmont High School.
“I value safe neighborhoods, and I expect fiscal responsibility. Our town has work to do. We have public facilities with deferred maintenance issues. We have the difficult task of navigating the state mandates for housing density in a small town already built out,” his statement reads. “I’m an architect, a problem solver and over 30 years I’ve been building and leading diverse teams around the Bay Area,” Ramsey said.
Council candidate Solnordal is an avid civic volunteer.
“I am running to bring a much-needed perspective and balance to our beautiful city. Many voices are under-represented,” she wrote in her candidate statement. “I am well-educated, having earned a doctorate degree in 1994 after working for the IRS for 18 years. In 1994 I obtained a broker’s license and established a property management company. My (real estate) and tax accounting experience will be very helpful to Piedmont going forward. I served as a Girl Scout leader, president of (Piedmont’s) Millennium (High School) parents club, a school volunteer and assisted organizing the Spring Fling.”
Lawyer McInerney Harris has practiced tax law for more than 40 years. Her family moved to Piedmont in 1986, raising four children in the city. She serves on the executive boards for Piedmont Boy Scouts and the Order of Malta Clinic in Oakland, which provides free medical care to uninsured patients.
“I have a strong commitment to public safety, fiscal discipline, realistic growth and common sense,” Harris declares. “I would advocate that all residents should vote before any park or city land is used for multifamily units within the city. I would be honored to put my knowledge, work ethic and love for Piedmont to work as your councilmember.”
Long, also a lawyer, said in her statement that “With an impending pool build, critical infrastructure repair and housing development, Piedmont is poised to be a city with the future in mind.
“Our city needs leaders who understand the interests of our citizens … . My experience as a current councilmember, attorney and life coach provides me with a solid foundation to tackle the matters that lie ahead for Piedmont.”
Returning candidate Bostrom-Fleming, 77, took a novel approach to her candidate statement.
“My name is Sunny. I ran before. I promoted cameras at Piedmont’s entrances that keep family and pets safer,” she wrote.
Her statement also reprised the story of television’s late Mr. Rogers, “a chubby little rich boy who lived in a mansion. He was driven in a limousine to school, where he faced name calling, shoving, pinching. … He earned two doctorates. One in music, one in theology, trained as a Presbyterian minister, married, had two children, four grandchildren and millions of stepchildren. You might be one of them. His name was Fred Rogers, and he lives in your heart. He never forgot the pain he experienced when he was helpless as we all have been or will be.”
Andersen, 52, another attorney, is seeking a second term on the council.
“My priorities on the Piedmont City Council have been community health and safety, financial stability and strong city-school relations. During my time on council we have renovated Hampton Park and the Corey Reich Tennis Center, invested $3.75 million for future pension needs, facilitated in-town COVID testing, allocated funds to modernize police and fire dispatch and maintained a balanced budget,” Andersen stated.
“I appreciate the challenges and opportunities as we develop strategies to meet our climate action goals, address the state housing crisis and replace aging infrastructure. If re-elected I will continue to listen thoughtfully to all voices as we work together to strengthen the community we call home,” she continued.
Those elected to seats on the school board or council serve four years without pay and can serve two terms.

MILWAUKEE – Cody Bellinger, the 2019 NL MVP whose production has fallen off dramatically since, was benched by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Bellinger might sit out the final three games of the team's series at Milwaukee.
“I just wanted to give him a little bit of a reset,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s been grinding a lot.”
Bellinger is batting .206 with 15 homers and 50 RBIs. He started in center field Monday night against the Brewers, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and has two hits in his last 19 at-bats.
Chris Taylor shifted from left field to center for Tuesday’s game, with Joey Gallo joining the lineup in left.
Roberts is hopeful Bellinger can work through his struggles in time to help the Dodgers in September and beyond. Los Angeles has the best record in the majors.
“He’s a guy we’re counting on,” Roberts said.
Bellinger won the NL Rookie of the Year honors in 2017 and two years later was the MVP, batting .305 with 47 homers and 115 RBIs.
He batted .239 with 12 homers in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, then dipped to .165 with 10 homers in 95 games last year.
“There aren’t that many people in this game that had that quick ascension,” Roberts said. “So, now having to deal with some adversity over the last two-and-a-half years, it’s not easy. I just want him to know that we are all supporting him.”
Roberts didn’t rule out using Bellinger in a platoon situation if he doesn’t find his stroke.
“At some point, I’m going to put the guys out there that give us the best chance to win,” he said.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A pregnant Florida 16-year-old was denied an abortion for a second time this week, after a state court of appeals said she didn’t present evidence she was “mature” enough to make the decision.
Now, the teen, who is parentless and says she isn’t ready to have a child, may be forced to become a mother.
The girl, identified only as Jane Doe 22-B, who was 10 weeks pregnant as of August 10, appealed a previous court decision made by Judge Jennifer J. Frydrychowicz. That ruling blocked her from getting an abortion without parental consent, despite the teen being parentless.
In her petition, a “judicial bypass” that would grant her the ability to act without parental requirements, the girl said her appointed guardian “is fine with what she wants to do.” In that case, all the guardian would have needed to do is submit a written waiver allowing Jane to have the pregnancy terminated.
In a handwritten petition to the court, the girl explained she doesn’t have a job, is still in school and that the father can’t help with child care. She added that a close friend had also recently died.
On Monday, however, Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeals upheld Frydrychowicz’s ruling that the girl didn’t show convincing evidence she was “sufficiently mature to decide” to abort her pregnancy.
One of the ruling judges, Scott Makar, only partially concurred with the ruling.
Makar wrote in the court’s decision that Jane had displayed maturity based on trial records and noted that she explained she’s “not ready to have a baby.”
He cited Frydrychowicz’s own statement calling the girl “credible” and said court transcripts showed Jane Doe 22-B had done Google searches to become more knowledgeable about the pregnancy and her medical options.
Makar added that Frydrychowicz left the decision open-ended, making it possible for Jane to try again “at a later date.” He added that, based on his understanding, Frydrychowicz saw the decision as a close call and just needed more evidence.
“Given the open-ended nature of the order reflecting the trial judge’s willingness to hear from the minor again – and the time pressures presented – I would remand the case to the trial court,” Makar wrote.
The other two judges, Harvey L. Jay III and Rachel E. Nordby, ruled that sending the case back to the trial court was not necessary.
Jane can now try to appeal the ruling again, but the court file doesn’t specify when she became pregnant, meaning that she may run out of time due to Florida’s now-enacted 15-week abortion ban. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill back in April — months before the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic overturn of Roe v. Wade, which operates on the federal level.
Earlier this month, DeSantis suspended state attorney Andrew Warren for refusing to enforce the abortion ban, citing “neglect of duties” as covered under Florida’s state constitution. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/parentless-florida-teen-not-mature-enough-to-seek-abortion-court-rules/ | 2022-08-17T02:07:07Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/parentless-florida-teen-not-mature-enough-to-seek-abortion-court-rules/ | false | 30 |

Stargirl season 3 promo: Can villains really break … good?
The Stargirl season 3 premiere is finally going to be coming on The CW on August 31, and it looks already like the show is hitting home that “frenemies” theme big-time.
Ultimately, what Courtney Whitmore is looking to do this season, per the promo below, is try to find a different way to take on adversaries. Rather than just having them remain evil, is there a way to turn them good? What would it look like if some of these evil-doers realized that there’s a way to assist Blue Valley rather than destroy it?
All of this is ambitious, and of course we give Courtney a lot of credit for even thinking about it. However, the reality remains that achieving this goal is going to be so much easier said than done. There are villains who are not going to be able to abandon that nature, and frankly, there are going to be others who just enjoy being bad. This is a realistic expectation that she needs to have before she dives TOO far down this rabbit hole.
By the end of the season 3 premiere, it is our hope that we will get the ball rolling when it comes to a larger story, one that hasn’t been revealed all that much in some of the promos yet. We are talking here about Mister Bones, who was introduced at the end of season 2. Since Courtney doesn’t even know this guy as of yet, we have a hard time thinking that she’s going to be able to turn around and convince them to be good anytime soon.
In general, we expect this season to be full of surprises, but also a little bit of humor. One of the things that has made Stargirl so great through its time on the air is its ability to mix genres and make almost all of the characters feel human.

Blue Bloods season 13 photo: Jamie Reagan’s endorsement!
For those who are not currently aware, Blue Bloods season 13 is currently in production and to make the hiatus a little bit easier, Bridget Moynahan has come up with a fun way to keep us entertained!
Over the course of the past couple of weeks, we have seen the actress use some of her co-stars to support her character’s campaign for District Attorney. It’s a fun little way to share some behind-the-scenes snaps during production and beyond just that, it’s a tease for what is a really exciting storyline. The latest one, featuring Bridget alongside Will Estes (Jamie Reagan), can be seen at the bottom of this article.
So what makes this photo stand out so much to us? It’s a reminder that this could be one of the biggest stories that Blue Bloods has given us on a single character in a good while. It may be the most multi-episode arc since Jamie and Eddie’s engagement and wedding planning. This is not a show that tends to do a lot of longer stories, so whenever we get one it is fairly exciting. We don’t know how the show shies away from this in at least the first few installments of the season, given that you have to show Erin out campaigning and/or fielding questions about her qualifications. It feels like like her biggest issue is going to be confronting the idea that she is just a product of nepotism; we know that this is not the case, but everyone else may not realize it.
The photo of Estes is an especially nice touch here given that the actor is not a frequent user of social media, so you don’t get a lot from him during production.

Statistics Canada released new inflation numbers Tuesday. Overall inflation growth was a whopping 7.6 per cent in July while food prices soared 9.9 per cent, a half point higher than June; and natural gas prices soared 45.3 per cent in Ontario thanks to an Ontario Energy Board rate hike. NDP Affordability critic Teresa Armstrong released the following statement:
“Ontario families’ paycheques have lost nearly a tenth of their buying power. People are leaving a balance on the credit card each month. They’re forced to make tough choices, and to spend more on necessities like groceries, gas and housing – there is little left over to plan for things like getting the car repaired, let alone a summer visit to the CNE.
And we know that some large corporations, housing developers and big box stores are using inflation as an excuse to gouge — to make even bigger fortunes off middle class people. Grocery and pharmacy giant Loblaws reported its first-quarter profit jumped nearly 40 per cent. Developers are coming back to home buyers to demand more money.
Yet the Conservative budget has nothing at all to deal with the punishing price of inflation, and this government will not take on corporations that gouge.
These shocking inflation numbers should be a call to action to Premier Doug Ford to take action to stop corporations that gouge.”

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 more drought, federal officials announced Tuesday.
Though the cuts will not result in any immediate new restrictions — like banning lawn watering or car washing — they signal that unpopular decisions about how to reduce consumption are on the horizon, including whether to prioritize growing cities or agricultural areas. Mexico will also face cuts.
But those reductions represent just a fraction of the potential pain to come for the 40 million Americans in seven states that rely on the river. Because the states failed to meet a federal deadline to figure out how to cut their water use by at least 15%, they could see even deeper cuts that the government has said are needed to prevent reservoirs from falling so low they cannot be pumped.
“The states collectively have not identified and adopted specific actions of sufficient magnitude that would stabilize the system,” Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton said.
Together, the missed deadline and the latest cuts put officials responsible for providing water to cities and farms under renewed pressure to plan for a hotter, drier future and a growing population.
Touton has said a 15% to 30% reduction is necessary to ensure that water deliveries and hydroelectric power production are not disrupted. She was noncommittal on Tuesday about whether she planned to impose those cuts unilaterally if the states cannot reach agreement.
She repeatedly declined to say how much time the states have to reach the deal she requested in June.
The inaction has stirred concerns throughout the region about the bureau’s willingness to act as states stubbornly cling to their water rights while acknowledging that a crisis looms.
“They have called the bureau’s bluff time and again,” Kyle Roerink, the executive director of the Great Basin Water Network, said of the Colorado River basin states. “Nothing has changed with today’s news — except for the fact that the Colorado River system keeps crashing.”
Stephen Lewis, governor of the Gila River Indian Community in central Arizona, said the tribe was “shocked and disappointed” by the lack of progress. The tribe, which is entitled to nearly one-fourth of Arizona’s Colorado River deliveries, no longer plans to save its unused water in Lake Mead, as it has in recent years, and instead plans to store it underground.
For years, cities and farms have diverted more water from the river than flows through it, depleting its reservoirs and raising questions about how it will be divided as water becomes more scarce.
After more than two decades of drought, Arizona, Nevada and Mexico were hit with mandatory cuts for the first time last year. Some of the region’s farmers have been paid to leave their fields fallow. Residents of growing cities have been subjected to conservation measures such as limits on grass lawns.
But those efforts thus far haven’t been enough. The water level at Lake Mead, the nation’s largest man-made reservoir, has plummeted so low that it’s currently less than a quarter full and inching dangerously close to a point where not enough water would flow to produce hydroelectric power at the Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border.
Officials in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming have been reluctant to propose more draconian water-rationing measures or limits on development.
The trade-offs are emerging most prominently in Arizona, which is among the nation’s fastest-growing states and has lower-priority water rights than water users to the west, in California.
Under Tuesday’s reductions, Arizona will lose an additional 80,000 acre-feet of water — 21% less than its total share but only 3% less than what it’s receiving this year.
An acre-foot is equivalent to an acre of land covered by 12 inches of water. An average household uses one-half to one acre-foot of water a year.
After putting last year’s burden on the agricultural industry, state officials said this year’s cuts would extend to tribes and growing cities that rely on the Colorado, including Scottsdale.
Rather than ration water, mandate conservation or limit development, the cities will likely shift reliance to other sources. Phoenix, for example, will rely more heavily on the in-state Salt and Verde rivers, while directing less of its supply to recharge its groundwater aquifers.
Arizona officials blasted neighboring states that haven’t proposed cuts even as Arizona implements its own.
Arizona and Nevada came up with a plan for cuts that would have been close to proportional to water use, but both California and the Bureau of Reclamation rejected that deal, state officials said.
“We need California to participate; we can’t do this alone with just Arizona and Nevada,” said Tom Buschatzke, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
The effect of the cuts on farmers remains unclear, but many fear more cuts will further inflame tensions between cities and agriculture, which uses more than 70% of the basin’s water.
Paco Ollerton, a Phoenix-area cotton farmer, worries that deeper cuts could jeopardize his water next year. Arizona farmers already lost much of their Colorado River water during prior cuts, but they were compensated with water through deals with cities like Phoenix and Tucson.
This year, Ollerton grew only half of what he had grown previously. The cuts announced Tuesday could further squeeze those cities, raising questions about whether they will share with farmers next year.
“It kind of changes my thinking about how much longer I’m going to continue to farm,” Ollerton said.
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%.
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.
Amid the changing climate, extraordinary steps are already being taken to keep water in Lake Powell, the other large Colorado River reservoir, which straddles the Arizona-Utah border.
After the lake fell low enough to threaten hydroelectric power production, federal officials said they would hold back some water to ensure the dam could still produce energy. That water would normally flow to Lake Mead.
Mexico will lose 7% of the water 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 for a large farming industry in the Mexicali Valley, just south of the border from California’s Imperial Valley.
Historically, Mexico has been sidelined in discussions over how to share the river, but in recent years, efforts by countries have been important to keeping more water in the system, experts say.
“People have come to realize this is a really important relationship to maintain,” said Jennifer Pitt, who directs the Colorado River program at the Audubon Society.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A pregnant Florida 16-year-old was denied an abortion for a second time this week, after a state court of appeals said she didn’t present evidence she was “mature” enough to make the decision.
Now, the teen, who is parentless and says she isn’t ready to have a child, may be forced to become a mother.
The girl, identified only as Jane Doe 22-B, who was 10 weeks pregnant as of August 10, appealed a previous court decision made by Judge Jennifer J. Frydrychowicz. That ruling blocked her from getting an abortion without parental consent, despite the teen being parentless.
In her petition, a “judicial bypass” that would grant her the ability to act without parental requirements, the girl said her appointed guardian “is fine with what she wants to do.” In that case, all the guardian would have needed to do is submit a written waiver allowing Jane to have the pregnancy terminated.
In a handwritten petition to the court, the girl explained she doesn’t have a job, is still in school and that the father can’t help with child care. She added that a close friend had also recently died.
On Monday, however, Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeals upheld Frydrychowicz’s ruling that the girl didn’t show convincing evidence she was “sufficiently mature to decide” to abort her pregnancy.
One of the ruling judges, Scott Makar, only partially concurred with the ruling.
Makar wrote in the court’s decision that Jane had displayed maturity based on trial records and noted that she explained she’s “not ready to have a baby.”
He cited Frydrychowicz’s own statement calling the girl “credible” and said court transcripts showed Jane Doe 22-B had done Google searches to become more knowledgeable about the pregnancy and her medical options.
Makar added that Frydrychowicz left the decision open-ended, making it possible for Jane to try again “at a later date.” He added that, based on his understanding, Frydrychowicz saw the decision as a close call and just needed more evidence.
“Given the open-ended nature of the order reflecting the trial judge’s willingness to hear from the minor again – and the time pressures presented – I would remand the case to the trial court,” Makar wrote.
The other two judges, Harvey L. Jay III and Rachel E. Nordby, ruled that sending the case back to the trial court was not necessary.
Jane can now try to appeal the ruling again, but the court file doesn’t specify when she became pregnant, meaning that she may run out of time due to Florida’s now-enacted 15-week abortion ban. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill back in April — months before the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic overturn of Roe v. Wade, which operates on the federal level.
Earlier this month, DeSantis suspended state attorney Andrew Warren for refusing to enforce the abortion ban, citing “neglect of duties” as covered under Florida’s state constitution. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/parentless-florida-teen-not-mature-enough-to-seek-abortion-court-rules/ | 2022-08-17T02:23:44Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/parentless-florida-teen-not-mature-enough-to-seek-abortion-court-rules/ | false | 30 |
The U.S. Air Force tested an unarmed long-range nuclear-capable missile from Vandenberg Air Force base in California in the early morning hours on Tuesday.
The Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was launched just after midnight and traveled 4,200 miles to the remote Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The test, originally scheduled to be carried out earlier this month, had to be delayed citing concerns over U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Asia, which included a stop to meet with officials in self-governed Taiwan.
China followed up that visit by Pelosi to Taiwan with days of live-fire drills that made headlines and were seen as an intimidation tactic showing China's displeasure over the visit.
Military officials released a statement emphasizing that Tuesday's test was not a reaction to world events as tensions between the U.S. and China have roiled in the days following Pelosi's visit to the island, followed by visits from multiple U.S. lawmakers to meet with officials in Taiwan.
Maj. Armand Wong, commander of the test task force, said, "Our test launches are scheduled well in advance and are not reactionary to world events," he said. "A meticulous planning process for each launch begins six months to a year prior to launch."
But scrutiny over launches like these, especially now as Russia's Kremlin has recently put its country's nuclear capabilities on alert as it wages a sustained, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, has surfaced from military experts. Former Defense Secretary William Perry argued that bolstering the United States' nuclear arsenal now could welcome harsh responses from countries that see the exercises as a threat. There is also the possibility of a miscalculation when firing these weapons, which include ICBMs.
Col. Chris Cruise said, "This scheduled test launch is demonstrative of how our nation's ICBM fleet illustrates our readiness and reliability of the weapon system."
U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers from Alabama criticized delaying the launch saying, "This news comes after China conducted live-fire exercises following the Speaker of the House's visit to Taiwan." He said, "These weak-kneed pearl-clutching attempts at appeasement hurt our readiness and will only invite further aggression by our adversaries."
The Minuteman III is the only land-based part of the U.S. Military's nuclear triad. It makes up one leg of a three-part system that includes the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile along with other nuclear weapons that are delivered by long-range strategic bombers. | https://www.fox4now.com/news/national/us-air-force-tests-nuclear-capable-long-range-missile | 2022-08-17T02:23:49Z | https://www.fox4now.com/news/national/us-air-force-tests-nuclear-capable-long-range-missile | false | 13 |

Mets pitcher Walker (back) exits after 2 innings vs Braves
ATLANTA (AP) — For the second night in a row, the starting pitcher for the New York Mets has left a game at Atlanta after working just two innings. Taijuan Walker was lifted because of back spasms. The right-hander was replaced in the third by R.J. Alvarez, who quickly gave up a homer to Robbie Grossman that gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead. Walker threw just 32 pitches in two scoreless innings, delivering another blow to New York’s rotation. On Monday, Carlos Carrasco also was lifted after two innings. He strained his left oblique and is expected to be out up to a month. | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/08/16/mets-pitcher-walker-back-exits-after-2-innings-vs-braves/ | 2022-08-17T02:28:49Z | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/08/16/mets-pitcher-walker-back-exits-after-2-innings-vs-braves/ | false | null |

After his failed Twitter bid that has left the Tesla chief executive officer (CEO) in an arduous legal battle, Elon Musk today said he's buying the English football club Manchester United.
"To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party," he tweeted. And shortly after this tweet, he said, "Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome."
Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 17, 2022
One can never know how serious Musk is when it comes to his tweets but the hint of this news has left Manchester United buzzing.
Manchester United fans have bene calling for the exit of the current American owner Glazer family due to the poor performance by the club in recent years.
Musk's tweet, which was published not too long ago, has amassed a huge response.
One of the Twitter users asked, "Do you really think he's gunna buy? Or just talking rubbish."
Referring to Tesla CEO's legal battle over Twitter, another user took a shot at Musk and pointed at the deal that failed to materialise.
"You don't want it man, trust me This man singed a deal to buy Twitter for USD 44 billion without doing any due dilligence then realized it was a bad deal. Backed out, and is being sued," the user said.
Elon Musk is locked in a court battle with Twitter over a failed acquisition bid that Twitter now intends to force through.
The microblogging website and the world's richest man are now heading to trial after Musk sought to abandon his deal to acquire Twitter over what he says is a misrepresentation of fake accounts on the site.
Twitter is trying to compel Musk to follow through on the deal while accusing him of sabotaging it because it no longer served his interests.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A pregnant Florida 16-year-old was denied an abortion for a second time this week, after a state court of appeals said she didn’t present evidence she was “mature” enough to make the decision.
Now, the teen, who is parentless and says she isn’t ready to have a child, may be forced to become a mother.
The girl, identified only as Jane Doe 22-B, who was 10 weeks pregnant as of August 10, appealed a previous court decision made by Judge Jennifer J. Frydrychowicz. That ruling blocked her from getting an abortion without parental consent, despite the teen being parentless.
In her petition, a “judicial bypass” that would grant her the ability to act without parental requirements, the girl said her appointed guardian “is fine with what she wants to do.” In that case, all the guardian would have needed to do is submit a written waiver allowing Jane to have the pregnancy terminated.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) —
A mural that was painted in a Vermont synagogue more than 100 years ago by a Lithuanian immigrant — and hidden behind a wall for years— has been termed a rare piece of art and has been painstakingly moved and restored.
The large colorful triptych painted by sign painter Ben Zion Black in 1910 shows the Ten Commandments with a lion on both sides, the sun beaming down, and columns and rich curtains at the borders. Now known as the “Lost Mural,” it’s a rare representation of a kind of art that graced wooden synagogues in Europe that were largely destroyed during the Holocaust, experts say.
“When I learned about the mural and what it is and the story behind the artist, I was completely amazed, and there is nothing like this elsewhere in this country,” said Josh Perelman, chief curator and director of exhibitions and interpretation at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.
It’s a representation of a style that was present throughout Europe but Perelman said he has never heard of anyone bringing that style to the United States.
“It makes it both a treasure and also a significant work, both in American Jewish religious life and the world of art in this country,” he said.
Black, who was also a musician, playwright and poet, as well as a sign maker, decorated the inside of what was then the Chai Adam Synagogue in 1910 in a Jewish neighborhood in Burlington known as Little Jerusalem. He painted the triptych — the Lost Mural — in the apse of the building, as well as other murals in the synagogue’s interior.
But the synagogue closed in 1939 when it merged with another one, Ohavi Zedek, and the original building went on to have other uses, including a carpet store, according to the Lost Mural website.
When the building was being turned into apartments in 1986, Ohavi Zedek archivist Aaron Goldberg and a fellow synagogue member got the owner to install a wall in front of the mural, according to the website. Black’s two daughters donated money to have archival photographs taken of the art, but it was unclear at the time whether the mural could be saved, Goldberg said.
More than 20 years later, the wall board was cut away, and photographs were taken and sent to museums around the country and world asking what should be done with the artwork, Goldberg said.
“The universal consensus then was that we needed to do everything we could and take all the possible measures to take out the original mural because of its uniqueness, because it really is a symbol for perhaps thousands of murals and this type of painting that were lost in Eastern Europe and and Western Europe,” Goldberg said.
The plaster was in poor condition and paint was flaking off in many sections. The plaster was stabilized and a conservator worked to reattach the paint. Then a temporary structure was built so that the building’s roof could be removed, the mural’s lathes reinforced, and the artwork could be encased in a metal frame for the move in 2015 by crane and then truck to the current Ohavi Zedek Synagogue.
In its new home, conservators restored damaged sections of paint and cleaned the entire mural, revealing its original vibrant color and detail. Paint was also matched and added where it had fallen off. That work took place this and last year, during the coronavirus pandemic, when the building was largely unused.
About $1 million was raised for the project through donations from local, state, national and international donors. The Lost Mural Project, an independent secular nonprofit, is still seeking donations to replicate the green corridors on the original painting that did not survive, said Goldberg, its president.
The renewed mural was unveiled this summer, and tours are ongoing.
Senior Rabbi Amy Small saw the beauty of the restoration step by step, when she came to the office or sanctuary, which she said was a reminder of how significant the mural is.
It’s significant not only to the Jewish community and the descendants of those early settlers of Burlington, but also to other immigrants in the United States, which offered safety for Jewish and other families fleeing from many parts of the world, she said.
“It’s both a Jewish story and an American story,” Small said, as well as a “universal story.”
Another part of the Lost Mural story is the “magnificent, creative and devoted people who have nurtured its preservation and its re-presentation to the world,” Perelman said. “The Burlington community, the Burlington Jewish community, the state of Vermont, have been marvelous in their sense of the importance of this work of art and their commitment to bringing it back to view.” | https://www.wnct.com/entertainment-news/long-hidden-synagogue-mural-gets-rehabbed-relocated/ | 2022-08-17T02:37:27Z | https://www.wnct.com/entertainment-news/long-hidden-synagogue-mural-gets-rehabbed-relocated/ | true | 44 |
