SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota ethics board on Monday said it found sufficient information that Gov. Kristi Noem may have “engaged in misconduct” when she intervened in her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license, and it referred a separate complaint over her state airplane use to the state's attorney general for investigation.
The three retired judges on the Government Accountability Board determined that “appropriate action” could be taken against Noem for her role in her daughter's appraiser licensure, though it didn't specify the action.
The board's moves potentially escalate the ramifications of investigations into Noem. The Republican governor faces reelection this year and has also positioned herself as an aspirant to the White House in 2024. She is under scrutiny from the board after Jason Ravnsborg, the state's former Republican attorney general, filed complaints that stemmed from media reports on Noem's actions in office. She has denied any wrongdoing.
After meeting in a closed-door session for one hour Monday, the board voted unanimously to invoke procedures that allow for a contested case hearing to give Noem, who has denied wrongdoing, a chance to publicly defend herself against allegations of “misconduct” related to “conflicts of interest” and “malfeasance.” The board also dismissed Ravnsborg's allegations that Noem misused state funds in the episode.
However, the retired judges left it unclear how they will proceed. Lori Wilbur, the board chair, said the complaint was “partially dismissed and partially closed,” but added that the complaint could be reopened. She declined to discuss what would cause the board to reopen the complaint.
The board can issue a public or private reprimand or direct an official to do community service. It can also make recommendations to the governor — though that option seems unlikely since the complaints are leveled against Noem.
The AP first reported that the governor took a hands-on role in a state agency soon after it had moved to deny her daughter's application for an appraiser license in 2020. Noem had called a meeting with her daughter, the labor secretary and the then-director of the appraiser certification program where a plan was discussed to give the governor's daughter, Kassidy Peters, another chance to show she could meet federal standards in her appraiser work.
The complaints are proving to be the first major test of the board, which was launched in 2017 in response to several scandals in state government. It has never taken public action against a state official.
The retired judges also referred a complaint that Noem flew on state-owned airplanes to political events to the state attorney general’s office for further investigation. That puts the investigation under the oversight of the interim attorney general, Mark Vargo, who was appointed by Noem.
When asked whether he would recuse himself from the investigation, Vargo said in a statement: “Based on the fact that this just happened, no decision has been made.”
“We will be diligent in our duty and thoroughly investigate the complaint that the Government Accountability Board has presented to the Attorney General’s Office," he said in an earlier statement. "The investigation, as with all other investigations, will remain confidential as does the complaint that has been presented to us. We have no other comment at this time.”
The board handled the complaints only by case number and did not refer to Noem directly in either case. Ravnsborg provided the case numbers to The Associated Press.
“Knowing what I know as the complainant, Gov. Noem should be fully investigated for her abuse of power in getting her daughter an appraiser license, and Gov. Noem should be prosecuted for her criminal use of state resources for personal gain,” he said in a statement.
The board plans to publicly release the complaint over the appraiser license for Noem after redacting some sections. It did not give a date for when that will happen.
Noem and Ravnsborg have become political enemies since he fatally struck a pedestrian in 2020. Noem pushed hard for him to be removed from office, and the state Senate convicted him on impeachment charges and removed him as attorney general. He had continued to press the complaints as a private citizen.
Noem did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Noem's office has said the plan for Peters to get another chance was already in the works before the meeting, but the agency's director, Sherry Bren, told a legislative committee last year that she felt "intimidated" during the meeting at the governor's mansion where Peters' unsuccessful application was discussed in detail. A Republican-controlled legislative committee that probed the episode concluded that Peters received special treatment.
Bren was also pressured to retire later in 2020 and eventually received a $200,000 settlement to withdraw an age discrimination complaint.
The former attorney general's other complaint was sparked after online news website Raw Story found that Noem in 2019 used a state airplane to travel to events hosted by political organizations such as the National Rifle Association and the Republican Jewish Coalition, even though South Dakota law bars state airplanes from being used for anything other than state business.
Noem has said she was traveling to the events as an ambassador for the state.

The Lost Origin expansion will include a number of powerful Pokemon TCG cards, and will expand the stunning Trainer Gallery with a third wave of illustrated additions.
The Pokemon TCG Sword & Shield expansions have raised excitement in both collectors and players alike in recent years. From the introduction of powerful VMAX mechanics to stunning collectible selections found in the Shining Fates expansion, the demand for Pokemon TCG merchandise is currently at an astounding high.
The upcoming Sword & Shield Pokemon TCG expansion, Lost Origin, is currently set to release on September 9, 2022, and will bring with it another large card list. Like previous sets, there will be standard V, VMAX, VSTAR, Radiant, and Trainer Gallery cards for players to pull.
However, there are a handful of particularly rare, powerful, or visually stunning cards that stand out as top Pokemon TCG pulls for the Lost Origin expansion.
How big is the Lost Origin card list?
The last several Pokemon TCG expansions have been quite large thanks to the inclusion of Trainer Gallery cards. While the official card list for the English release has not yet been made available, a comprehensive list based on the Japanese releases via pokebeach helps give an idea of what will be included.
Below are the top five cards to pull from the Sword & Shield: Lost Origin TCG expansion.
5. Rainbow Rare Kyurem VMAX
Rainbow Rare cards are always an amazing pull when opening a Pokemon TCG pack. This Rainbow Rare Kyurem VMAX isn’t just beautiful, however. With a powerful move set, and a low amount of energy cards needed to deal the 120+ primary attack, it will be a boost to both collections and competitive decks.
4. Golden Rare Giratina VSTAR
Like Rainbow Rares, the Golden Star (Or Golden Rare) cards in Pokemon expansions are highly sought after. While not coming in with the HP or accessible attacks of Kyurem, the card’s stunning holo image and rarity will likely make it an expensive card for collectors. It is also a great pull for fans of the Pokemon Legends: Arceus game, where Giratina is one of the primary Legendary Pokemon.
3. Trainer Gallery Eternatus VMAX
Trainer Gallery cards have made the last three Pokemon TCG expansions particularly special. These cards function as normal Pokemon cards in matches, but feature unique art of the Pokemon with an iconic NPC from the franchise.
In this Trainer Gallery card, the powerhouse Legendary Eternatus lurks behind Sword & Shield antagonist Chairman Rose. While definitely an unsettling card, Eternatus is both an iconic pull and a boost in TCG gameplay.
2. Trainer Gallery Pikachu VMAX
There are few Pokemon NPCs as notable as Red and Blue from the original Kanto-based games of the Pokemon series. The Trainer Gallery edition of Pikachu VMAX is breathtaking, featuring Pikachu towering behind Red as he prepares for battle. This card will no doubt be an exciting pull for long-time Pokemon fans.
1. Trainer Gallery Charizard
While not a VMAX, VSTAR, or holo rare, this card is the must-have of the Sword & Shield: Lost Origin Pokemon TCG expansion. Charizard is one of the most notable and valuable Pokemon of the TCG. Each iteration of the card can sell for a good profit, and these special Trainer Gallery cards will likely by no exception.
Additionally, this Charizard is snuggled lovingly against Galar’s famous Champion Leon, which will steal the hearts of any Pokemon fan – even if Charizard isn’t a personal favorite.
While the true value of each card won’t be known until after the launch of the Sword & Shield: Lost Origin Pokemon TCG expansion, it is worth noting some of the best pulls available in the set.
Those eager to get their hands on these amazing cards will want to make sure they have their preorders set for September 9, or plan to hit the local card shops early to score a few boosters when they launch. | https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/pokemon-tcg-sword-shield-lost-origin-expansion-best-cards-1911249/ | 2022-08-22T21:43:51Z | https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/pokemon-tcg-sword-shield-lost-origin-expansion-best-cards-1911249/ | false | 1 |
While we’re still enjoying summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the winter could potentially see more snow and precipitation than usual, according to new climate projections from the National Weather Service.
Last week, the NWS’ Climate Prediction Center issued its newest long-lead forecasts for the coming months, examining probabilities of seeing different temperature and precipitation patterns in increments of three months.
In weather circles, “meteorological winter” is defined as the three month stretch between Dec. 1 and March 1, and according to the projections provided by NWS, that period of time could produce some interesting weather in the Chicago area and in northwest Indiana.
According to projections, the winter months could see above-average precipitation through most of Illinois and Indiana, with that pattern repeating itself through most of the Great Lakes.
Things could get especially dicey in the three-month stretch between January and March, with just about all of Illinois and Indiana seeing at least a 70% chance of above-average precipitation.
Meteorologists caution that such long-range predictions are particularly challenging, and the models will continue to change as winter approaches.
In terms of temperature, NWS’ models have not yet established a pattern, saying that there is a 50/50 chance of either above or below-average temperatures during the winter months.
Last year, the Chicago area experienced a normal winter in terms of temperatures, with above-average readings in December getting balanced out by below-average readings in January and February, the three months that comprise “meteorological winter.”
Parts of northern Illinois received significantly less snowfall than usual, with Rockford finishing with 15.7 inches of accumulation, more than a foot less than it normally receives.
The city of Chicago received 28.6 inches of snow, right around the city’s average.
If you’re a fan of warmer weather, then the fall will likely be your time to shine. According to NWS’ models, above-average warmth is expected from September through November, with above-average temperatures still possible during the month of December. The probability of that does drop, according to the maps.
For those curious, the Old Farmer’s Almanac has called for “unreasonably cold and snowy” conditions this winter in the Midwest, citing long-term temperature and weather patterns over the last 30 years. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/weather/let-it-snow-chicago-area-could-see-more-precipitation-than-normal-this-winter-nws-models-show/2920760/ | 2022-08-22T21:44:05Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/weather/let-it-snow-chicago-area-could-see-more-precipitation-than-normal-this-winter-nws-models-show/2920760/ | true | 1 |

NO one wants to feel like they're living in a shoebox.
Luckily, interior design whizz Gabby Christine shared three tips on how to make any bedroom feel bigger.
Gabby is the TikTok queen of home DIYs, room design, and space reovations.
She posted a video describing three key tips anyone living in a small bedroom should follow.
"How to make your tiny bedroom feel a lot larger," Gabby says to preface the video.
First, Gabby encourages viewers to get rid of any oversized furniture.
Instead of keeping the large desk in her room, Gabby replaced the item with a smaller dresser.
This will make better use of the space around you and prevent you from feeling like you're boxed in.
"The next thing you want to do is get rid of those raggedy curtains and replace them with white sheer curtains," she suggests.
According to Gabby, hanging the curtains higher up on the wall will make your room feel "brighter, taller, and larger."

"Lastly, less is more," Gabby proclaims.
Clear off the surfaces in your room to remove visible clutter.
"Getting rid of all of the unnecessary items in your room is going to make it feel so much larger and a lot less cluttered," she says.
One viewer added their suggestion: "Also, get a white floor it makes the room look bigger it works I promise."
"I love all of this, except I'm an overnight nurse, so blackout curtains are a MUST," a commenter wrote. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19587779/tips-to-make-small-rooms-feel-big/ | 2022-08-22T21:57:05Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19587779/tips-to-make-small-rooms-feel-big/ | false | 4 |

Russia’s FSB has announced it has already solved the case of the car bombing at the weekend that killed journalist Darya Dugina, the daughter of prominent Russian ideolog Alexander Dugin, accusing the Ukrainian special services of assassinating her.
"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, as a result of a complex of urgent operational-search measures, has solved the murder of Russian journalist Daria Dugina, born in 1992," the FSB Public Relations Centre (CSP) said on August 22, two days after the event.
"The crime was prepared and committed by the Ukrainian special services," the FSB said in a press release.
"The contractor is a citizen of Ukraine, Vovk Natalya Pavlovna, born in 1979, who arrived in Russia on July 23, 2022, together with her daughter Shaban Sofia Mikhailovna, born in 2010," the FSB reported.
Telegram channels quickly filled with pictures of the two. Shaban Sofia is shown wearing a bikini and is 12 years old. The FSB said the pair has already escaped to Estonia.
"Vovk, together with her daughter, left through the Pskov region to Estonia." According to the FSB, "in order to organise the murder of Dugina and obtain information about her lifestyle, they rented an apartment in Moscow in the house where the deceased lived." The FSB claims that Vovk used a Mini Cooper to tail Dugina that carried a licence plate from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic but these numbers were changed to Kazakh numbers and then Ukrainian numbers.
"On the day of the murder, Vovk and Shaban were at the Tradition literary and musical festival, where Dugina was present as an honoured guest," the security service said.
The FSB reported that the materials of the investigation were transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
In his first comments since the death of his daughter, Dugin said that she was a “patriot” and a “philosopher.”
“She was a patriot, a war correspondent, an expert of central channels and a philosopher" while she "never called for violence and war,” Dugin said in a statement published by businessman Konstantin Malofeyev on his Telegram channel on August 22.
He added that "the enemies of Russia killed her in a cowardly and underhanded way… Yet it is not possible to break us, our people, even with such unbearable strikes. They wanted to suppress our will with bloody terror against the best and the most vulnerable among us. Yet they will fail," he added. "Our hearts yearn not just for revenge or retribution. This is too low, that’s not the Russian way. We need only our Victory… So please, win!" Dugin said.
Dugina's car was blown up on Saturday evening near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy, Moscow Region. Dugina was killed instantly. The car belonged to her father and he was intending to travel with her but changed his travel arrangements at the last minute. Social media show a picture of him at the scene of the assassination watching helplessly as the car burns.
In Kyiv former Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev claimed on social media that the previously little known National Republican Army was responsible for the killing, whose representatives turned to Ponomarev for "methodological and material assistance," Ponomarev said.
Ukraine’s government denied any involvement in the killing saying in a statement: “We are not a criminal state.” Vovk will be put on an international wanted list and her extradition to Russia demanded, a source in the law enforcement told Tass.
"Ukrainian citizen Natalia Vovk, who escaped to Estonia after committing the murder of Darya Dugina, will be put on the wanted list and her extradition demanded," the official said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram with his condolences to the family of journalist Darya Dugina who had been killed in a car bombing, the Kremlin said.
"Dear Alexander Gelyevich and Natalia Viktorovna, please accept my sincere condolences and words of support in connection with the gravest and irreparable loss that has befallen you," the president said to the woman’s parents, according to the telegram, which the Kremlin posted on its website.
"A vile, cruel crime cut short the life of Darya Dugina, a bright, talented person with a true Russian heart: one that’s kind, loving, sympathetic and open. As a journalist, scientist, philosopher and war correspondent, she honestly served the people, the Fatherland, and proved with her deeds what it means to be a patriot of Russia," the telegram said.
Putin said that "the memory of Darya Dugina will forever be preserved by her relatives and friends, the people that shared her beliefs and associates." The president wished the family of the journalist strength and courage in connection with the tragedy, Tass reports. | https://intellinews.com/russia-s-fsb-solve-dugina-car-bomb-murder-blame-ukraine-s-security-forces-254182/ | 2022-08-22T22:03:51Z | https://intellinews.com/russia-s-fsb-solve-dugina-car-bomb-murder-blame-ukraine-s-security-forces-254182/ | true | 4 |

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — State authorities say more than 1,000 firearms and more than 140,000 rounds of ammunition were seized from the Ohio property where a weekend standoff ended with law enforcement shooting and killing two brothers.
Local authorities said Randy Wilhelm, 56, and Bradley Wilhelm, 53, fired guns at law enforcement vehicles during the standoff and one of the brothers had threatened to explode a propane tank rather than be captured.
The Knox County sheriff’s office said the standoff began after a bail bondsman reported shortly before 11:30 p.m. Friday that his vehicle had been shot at multiple times as he was trying to apprehend Randy Wilhelm.
Randy Wilhelm had been free on $100,000 bail but failed to appear for an Aug. 2 trial in county court stemming from a 2020 indictment on charges including intimidation, menacing by stalking, bribery, felonious assault and domestic violence, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
Authorities said they received multiple tips that Wilhelm, a well-known trap shooter and proficient marksman, had a stockpile of firearms and ammunition and had expressed a determination to resist arrest.
Several agencies provided armored vehicles, and three of them were struck by gunfire from the two suspects, authorities said. Sgt. Brice Nihiser of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said the suspects shot at the state patrol helicopter but did not strike it, the newspaper reported.
Authorities said a bulk propane truck was moved next to one of the houses on the property during the standoff, and they alleged that Randy Wilhelm had earlier threatened to use the tanker as a bomb if law enforcement attempted to apprehend him.
Law enforcement officers shot and killed both men shortly before 9:30 a.m. Saturday as they were allegedly riding in a side-by-side vehicle toward officers who were outside of an armored vehicle, officials said. Two other people were evacuated safely, they said.
Sheriff Jay Shaffer said his office had done planning and surveillance to try to bring about a peaceful resolution, but “based on their actions, the brothers unfortunately did not appear to have any intention of being arrested.”
The state attorney general's office said Monday that officers were executing a search warrant for Randy Wilhelm and seizure of all firearms on the property. The office's Bureau of Criminal Investigation seized more than 1,000 firearms and more than 140,000 rounds of ammunition from the property, officials said.
“The firearms are primarily sporting shotguns and hunting caliber rifles," officials said in a statement Monday. “Most of the ammunition is target ammunition for trapshooting."
The bureau is investigating the shooting. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Firearms-found-after-standoff-ends-with-2-17390520.php | 2022-08-22T22:08:12Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Firearms-found-after-standoff-ends-with-2-17390520.php | false | 13 |
GREAT FALLS — In a canoe, on a bike, and on foot Carly Swisher and Fey Reynolds spent 58 days trekking across the Treasure State. “We canoed 149 miles, we biked 1,029, we hiked 340,” Reynolds said.
KRTV talked with them just after they returned from the trip. The two are the first people to complete the journey along the newly-designated Montana Trail 406.
"You have everything from watching a sunset over the mountains to also sitting in a pile of grouse poop on the same day,” Swisher said when asked how she would describe the experience.
Looking back, they feel they were well prepared.
When KRTV interviewed them when they set off on the trail in June, they had a canoe full of supplies.
"Our logistics that were so complicated going into this, the bikes, the boats, the backpacks, that worked out really smoothly,” said Swisher. "So that was great. All our boxes were where they needed to be. The one time they weren't we got it figured out. I mean, you could always be, like, 'I wish I had done more.'"
Their advice for others thinking about taking on the trail? Be prepared, be okay with being uncomfortable, be flexible, and of course have fun.
"We actually got recognized. People were either following us online on Facebook or had seen the news from when we left Fort Benton. That was really fun because everyone would get excited. They were excited they were actually seeing us out there,” Swisher said. "We would get excited, like 'Oh! We got recognized.' Then, people just want to talk about the trail. Like 'What are your experiences?' They're also outdoors, they're experiencing their trip, so it's fun to connect and make those connections."
"There were a couple people who said 'You're my hero that you're doing this!.' That felt really good because I feel like a pretty ordinary person. Also, I think that kind of goes to show that with the right planning that ordinary people can do things like this,” said Reynolds.
Work is planned on the trail for the fall of 2022, including efforts to get state recognition through a joint resolution in the next meeting of the state legislature.
Work is also underway with Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to address trail access issues. | https://www.kxlh.com/news/two-women-complete-montana-trail-406 | 2022-08-22T22:09:02Z | https://www.kxlh.com/news/two-women-complete-montana-trail-406 | false | 5 |

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi judge is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit that says the state is violating its own constitution by directing $10 million in pandemic relief money to private schools.
In April, Republican Gov. Tate Reeves signed two bills. One created a grant program to help private schools pay for water, broadband and other infrastructure projects. The other allocated the $10 million of federal money for the program, starting July 1.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi, the Mississippi Center for Justice and Democracy Forward filed the lawsuit June 15 in Hinds County Chancery Court on behalf of Parents for Public Schools, an advocacy group founded more than 30 years ago.
The lawsuit asks a judge to block the program, which allows grants of up to $100,000 to any in-state school that is a member of the Midsouth Association of Independent Schools and that is accredited by a state, regional or national organization. The parameters of the program exclude public schools from applying for the infrastructure grants.
The lawsuit cites Section 208 of the Mississippi Constitution, which prohibits the use of public money for any school that is not “a free school.”
Private schools “can operate only so long as students pay tuition,” but public schools have an obligation to serve every child, the lawsuit says. It says infrastructure improvements make private schools more competitive.
In arguments filed Aug. 4, attorneys for the state responded that the federal funds “were never earmarked for public schools in the first place,” so public schools “stand to lose exactly nothing” as a result of the grant program.
Hinds County Chancery Judge Crystal Wise Martin is hearing the case.
During this year’s legislative session, Mississippi’s Republican-controlled House and Senate made plans to spend most of the $1.8 billion the state is receiving from the federal government for pandemic relief.
Legislators this year also created a program to provide interest-free loans to public schools to improve buildings and other facilities, with money coming from the state. Those loans must be repaid within 10 years. The grants to private schools do not need to be repaid. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/politics/focused-on-politics/court-to-hear-case-on-mississippi-grants-to-private-schools/ | 2022-08-22T22:19:04Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/politics/focused-on-politics/court-to-hear-case-on-mississippi-grants-to-private-schools/ | false | 14 |
NIKOPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has already killed some 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers since it began nearly six months ago, a general said, and the fighting Monday showed no signs that the war is abating.
At a veteran’s event, Ukraine’s military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said many of Ukraine’s children need to be taken care of because “their father went to the front line and, perhaps, is one of those almost 9,000 heroes who died.”
In Nikopol, across the river from Ukraine’s main nuclear power plant, Russian shelling wounded four people Monday, an official said. The city on the Dnieper River has faced relentless pounding since July 12 that has damaged 850 buildings and sent about half its population of 100,000 fleeing.
“I feel hate towards Russians,” said 74-year-old Liudmyla Shyshkina, standing on the edge of her destroyed fourth-floor apartment in Nikopol that no longer has walls. She is still injured from the Aug. 10 blast that killed her 81-year-old husband, Anatoliy.
“The Second World War didn’t take away my father, but the Russian war did,” noted Pavlo Shyshkin, his son.
The U.N. says 5,587 civilians have been killed and 7,890 wounded in the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on Feb. 24, although the estimate is likely an undercount. The U.N. children’s agency said Monday that at least 972 Ukrainian children have been killed or injured since Russia invaded. UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said these are U.N.-verified figures but “we believe the number to be much higher.”
U.S. President Joe Biden and the leaders of Britain, France and Germany pleaded Sunday for Russia to end military operations so close to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant — Europe’s largest — but Nikopol came under fire three times overnight from rockets and mortar shells. Houses, a kindergarten, a bus station and stores were hit, authorities said.
There are widespread fears that continued shelling and fighting in the area could lead to a nuclear catastrophe. Russia has asked for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to discuss the situation — a move “the audacity” of which Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decried in his evening video address.
“The total number of different Russian cruise missiles that Russia used against us is approaching 3,500. It is simply impossible to count the strikes of Russian artillery; there are so many of them, and they are so intense,” Zelensky said Monday.
Western nations had already scheduled a council meeting on Wednesday — the six-month anniversary of the Russian invasion — on its impact on Ukraine.
Vladimir Rogov, an official with the Russia-installed administration of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, claimed that because of shelling from Ukraine, staffing at the nuclear plant had been cut sharply. Ukrainians say Russia is storing weapons at the plant and has blocked off areas to Ukrainian nuclear workers.
Monday’s announcement of the scope of Ukraine’s military dead stands in sharp contrast to Russia’s military, which last gave an update on March 25 when it said 1,351 Russian troops were killed during the first month of fighting. U.S. military officials estimated two weeks ago that Russia has lost between 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, both killed and wounded in action.
On Monday though, Moscow turned its attention to one specific civilian death.
Russia blamed Ukrainian spy agencies for the weekend car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow that killed the daughter of a far-right Russian nationalist who ardently supports the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s Federal Security Service, the main successor to the KGB, said Monday the killing was “prepared and perpetrated by the Ukrainian special services.” It charged that the bombing that killed 29-year-old TV commentator Darya Dugina, whose father, political theorist Alexander Dugin, is often referred to as “Putin’s brain,” was carried out by a Ukrainian citizen who left Russia for Estonia quickly afterward.
Ukrainian officials have vehemently denied any involvement in the car bombing. Estonian officials say Russia has not asked them to look for the alleged bomber or even spoken to them about the bombing.
On the front lines, the Ukraine military said it carried out a strike on a key bridge over the Dnieper River in the Russian-occupied Kherson region. Local Russia-installed officials said the strike killed two people Monday and wounded 16 others.
Photos on social media showed thick plumes of smoke rising over the Antonivskiy Bridge, an important supply route for the Russian military in Kherson.
On the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, anxiety has been spreading following a spate of fires and explosions at Russian facilities over the past two weeks. The Russian-backed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, ordered that signs showing the location of bomb shelters be placed in the city, which had long seemed untouchable.
Razvozhaev said on Telegram the city is well-protected but “it is better to know where the shelters are.”
Sevastopol, the Crimean port that is the home of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, has seen a series of drone attacks. A drone exploded at the fleet’s headquarters on July 31, and another was shot down over it last week. Authorities said air-defense systems have shot down other drones as well.
On Monday evening, Sevastopol residents reported hearing loud explosions on social media. Razvozhaev said the air-defense system had shot down “an object … at high altitude.”
“Preliminary (conclusion) is that it is, again, a drone,” he wrote on Telegram.
Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t directly mention the war during a speech Monday marking National Flag Day but echoed some of the justifications cited for the invasion.
“We are firm in pursuing in the international arena only those policies that meet the fundamental interests of the motherland,” Putin said. He maintains that Russia sent troops into Ukraine to protect its people against the encroaching West.

Those abilities emerged during the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic, when the Reagan administration tried to downplay or ignore the deadly disease afflicting particularly gay men and users of drugs by injection, as well as people with hemophilia who died because their medication was derived from contaminated blood products.
Part of Fauci's strategy was to engage the patients and activists who were demanding not only answers but a rapid federal response.
"He was one of the few [powerful people in Washington] that opened his doors early to us to listen and to hear us out," said Peter Staley, one of the founding members of Act Up New York, a prominent AIDS activist group. "And he was one of the few that wasn't afraid of us, and thought we had something to bring to the table."
Staley recalls regular dinners that Fauci held in the home of a gay man who worked in his office. Those dinners "would last for many hours over many bottles of wine, and we debated these issues, and it would sometimes get very heated," Staley said. They didn't always agree, "but I came to respect the man intensely during that period."
The AIDS activists pushed for being part of the research and having a seat at the table, as scientists and government officials figured out how to develop drugs and test vaccines to control the AIDS epidemic.
A gifted communicator
Fauci also oversaw a laboratory at the NIH and saw patients throughout his long career, keeping connected to the science as well as the human dimensions of infectious disease.
"Tony won the respect of the angriest, most frustrated people because they saw him as an ally and because he listened to them and he incorporated them — he made them part of finding solutions," Cohen said. And that approach "radically overhauled how we think about disease and research and patients, not just AIDS."
Breast cancer activists adopted this cooperative approach and many other disease advocates followed suit.
Fauci was also instrumental in an effort, undertaken by the George W. Bush administration, to make AIDS medicines available globally. The multi-billion-dollar program, called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, has saved millions of lives, primarily in Africa.
Fauci's gift for communication put him at the center of many public health crises, in Republican as well as Democratic administrations. Those included viral outbreaks ranging from Zika and West Nile disease to the annual flu. To help calm a jittery American public during the Ebola scare in 2014, Fauci stepped up to the cameras and embraced an Ebola patient – a nurse, Nina Pham — who had been treated at the NIH.
"I want to tell you what a great pleasure, and in many respects a privilege it has been for me and the staff here... to have had the opportunity to treat and care for and get to know such an extraordinarily courageous and lovely person," he said in his distinctive Brooklyn accent.
His political acumen stood him in good stead with seven presidential administrations, starting with Ronald Reagan. No other leading federal scientist in modern times held a top position for as many years as Fauci did.
Fauci even got a shout-out from George H.W. Bush during a 1988 vice-presidential debate. The candidates had been asked to name their heroes, and Bush included Fauci in his list. "You probably never heard of him," Bush said. "He's a very fine researcher, top doctor at the National Institute[s] of Health. Working hard, doing something about research on this disease of AIDS."
Diplomacy and politics in the early days of COVID
Fauci's biggest political challenge came during the Trump administration. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump frequently brought Fauci to the White House as a member of the Coronavirus Task Force, to participate in meetings and press conferences. But as the disease spiraled out of control, the president tired of Fauci's warnings. Fauci found diplomatic ways to correct the president's often errant statements about the coronavirus, for example when Trump wondered whether COVID-19 could be treated with bleach injections or by shining ultraviolet light into people.
The relationship hit a low point a few days before Election Day, 2020, when a crowd at a Trump campaign rally in Opa-Locka, Fla., started changing "Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci!"
Trump replied, "Don't tell anybody, but let me wait until a little bit after the election. I appreciate the advice. He's been wrong on a lot," Trump continued. "He's a nice man but he's been wrong on a lot."
Trump did not fire Fauci, who had made some missteps during the early days of the pandemic.
At first, scientists didn't fully understand how the virus spread or how to contain it. Fauci initially misjudged the degree to which the virus spread from people who had no symptoms of disease. He quickly changed his view as scientists learned more. Like many scientists, he was also uncertain about the value of masks early on.
But he never wavered in his view that people needed to stop gathering in large numbers, to wash their hands, isolate if ill and otherwise to take personal responsibility to avoid spreading the virus. Those positions earned him the ire of some Americans, who felt public health guidance infringed on their personal freedom. It was also inconsistent with Trump's false claim that the pandemic was being overblown.
Fauci had amassed a powerful following among people committed to a science-based response to COVID-19. His face popped up on T-shirts, coffee mugs and yard signs – and on Tony Fauci bobbleheads.
He was even invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the start of the Washington Nationals' 2020 home-opener, five months short of his 80th birthday. Suffice it to say it was outside the strike zone, a fact which the president noted among his complaints about Fauci's performance. (He redeemed himself two years later throwing a cleaner pitch this month in game between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees, in Seattle.)
With Joe Biden's election, Fauci became the president's chief medical adviser. Fauci admitted in the administration's very first press briefing that it was a relief to work for a president who took the science seriously.
"I can tell you I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the president," he said. "So, it was really something that you really feel you couldn't say something and there wouldn't be any repercussions. The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, and what the science is and that's it. Let the science speak. It is somewhat of a liberating feeling."
Fauci's gift for communication made him a media star and a household name. | https://www.kqed.org/news/11923167/fauci-to-step-down-in-december-after-decades-of-public-service | 2022-08-22T22:26:39Z | https://www.kqed.org/news/11923167/fauci-to-step-down-in-december-after-decades-of-public-service | true | 4 |
High school boys tennis: 3 players to watch
The high school boys tennis season is under way and there are a mix of strong teams and players throughout the area.
The West Ottawa boys are coming off of a run of stellar seasons and are looking for another state tournament appearances. But the Panthers are younger than they have been in past years, which will be a challenge.
Meanwhile, Holland, Holland Christian, Hamilton, Zeeland East and Zeeland West each have key returning players that could key strong seasons.
Here are five boys tennis players to watch this season:
Elliot Dozeman
SCHOOL: West Ottawa
GRADE: Junior
SCOUTING REPORT: Dozeman made an immediate impact on West Ottawa's singles lineup as a freshman and then was 26-6 last year at No. 2 singles, winning the OK Red Conference title and Division 1 regional title before advancing all the way to the state quarterfinals. Now, Dozeman will have the challenge as a junior of playing at the No. 1 singles spot for the Panthers. He has all the tools for success at the top spot. He has tremendous groundstrokes that have been consistent and his serve and volley continues to improve. Add in the confidence and experience of last year's postseason run and Dozeman is simply going to be tough to beat.
COACH'S VIEW: "Elliot is one of the best players I’ve ever coached. He brings every single match. He’s got the potential to be one of the very best players in Michigan before his high school career is done." - Brian Metz
Tucker Heneghan
SCHOOL: Holland Christian
GRADE: Senior
SCOUTING REPORT: Heneghan went 25-2 last year at No. 2 singles. He only lost one match the entire season until the Division 3 state quarterfinals. He was honorable mention all-state after winning the OK Blue Confernce title and regional title. He has all the tools for an incredible final season where he will again be one of the best players in the state. He serves well and continues to find new ways to put a point away.
COACH'S VIEW: "Tucker is Mr. Consistency. No matter what the situation, no matter how important the match, Tucker just goes out and does his job and delivers a great performance every time he steps on the court." - Steve Gorno
Liam Herweyer and Jack O'Brien
SCHOOL: West OttawaGRADE: SeniorsSCOUTING REPORT: Herweyer and O'Brien have been two of the top doubles players in the area for the past four years. They have enjoyed a lot of success and look to continue that as they move up to No. 1 doubles for the Panthers. West Ottawa has had some tremendous No. 1 doubles players in the past and this duo looks to keep that momentum going as West Ottawa looks to continue its run of conference and regional titles.COACH'S VIEW: "Liam Herweyer and Jack O'Brien will be making the jump to 1 doubles this year after a very strong off-season for both players. Liam has a huge serve and Jack is incredible at the net. They are going to be a tough pair to beat for anyone in West Michigan." - Brian Metz
James BaerSCHOOL: HollandGRADE: SeniorSCOUTING REPORT: Every tennis season is impressive for Baer because not only is he working his tail off on the court every day, but he also is staying in swimming shape for the winter by keeping up with off-season swimming workouts. That is a huge toll that Baer's body takes, but on the flip side, it prepares him for long and grueling matches, particulary when it comes to tournament time. He had a strong season in the singles lineup last year and looks to pick up right where he left off. | https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/sports/2022/08/22/high-school-boys-tennis-3-players-to-watch/65414327007/ | 2022-08-22T22:28:54Z | https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/sports/2022/08/22/high-school-boys-tennis-3-players-to-watch/65414327007/ | true | 1 |

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — One Oklahoma County deputy is dead and another fighting for his life after a shooting in Oklahoma City.
Officials said the deputies were shot in the line of duty while serving a lockout order. KOCO says a lockout order is an eviction notice. One deputy died, his name has not been released.
Governor Kevin Stitt also posted on social media offering condolences to the families and friends of the deputies.
Heartbreaking day.
— Governor Kevin Stitt (@GovStitt) August 22, 2022

Demi Lovato’s boyfriend Jutes: Everything to know about the musician
Demi Lovato ’s mystery boyfriend has been revealed.
The 29-year-old singer recently confirmed that she is in a “happy and healthy” relationship with a fellow musician. "It’s a really happy and healthy relationship," a source told People last week. "He’s a super great guy."
Following the news, Lovato was spotted on Tuesday with her boyfriend Jutes in New York City. The pair were seen holding hands as they left dinner at LAVO Italian Restaurant. The two coordinated their looks for the evening – Lovato wearing a black leather jacket splashed with white paint, and Jutes showing off his neck tattoos in a black sweater, distressed denim jeans and a white bucket hat.
That same day, Lovato appeared on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , where she performed the song “Substance” off her upcoming album Holy Fvck , which her new beau co-wrote. Jutes gave his girlfriend a shoutout on Instagram when he shared a video of her Tonight Show performance.
“sheeeesh best voice in the game, by a lot,” he captioned the post. “u killed it rockstar @ddlovato . substance on @jimmyfallon last night. grateful to be a part of this one ps ur f***ing hot”.
Lovato replied in the comments, “YOU ARE thank you so much baby!!”
Jutes – whose real name is Jordan Lutes – is a pop punk singer from Ottawa, Canada. Earlier this month, he released a song called “Hollywood Hillbilly” and has another project titled “Out the Door” being released in early September.
The Canadian musician has also helped Lovato with some of her own music, and is listed as a co-writer for her single “Substance”. Jutes celebrated the track’s release last July when he posted a clip from the music video to Instagram.
“substance by @ddlovato out now!! one of my fav songs i’ve ever worked on,” he wrote. “when i got asked to pull up and write for this session i remember thinking wtf am i supposed to do in a demi lovato session? only to show up and realize she was making one of the hardest rock projects i’ve ever heard. obviously a crazy milestone for me but beyond that i feel so blessed to be a part of something i’m such a big fan of. cheers to the whole gang”.
Lovato commented: “thank you sooo much.. you killed the session (SESSIONS) and I’m so grateful to have gotten to work w you here’s to many more!! let’s gooooo!! (Cya!!)”.
Much like his girlfriend, who has been open about her sobriety journey in the past, Jutes celebrated 100 days of sobriety in July. He shared on Twitter at the time: “100 days sober today. learning to cope with my anxiety properly was something i was always too scared to try. took a long time to be ready but i’ve never felt better mentally and emotionally. if ur dealing with shit rn that feels never ending just know nothing lasts forever”.
Lovato also has many things to celebrate this week. The singer’s eighth studio album Holy Fvck is due for release on Friday 20 August, coinciding with her 30th birthday. The album has already generated buzz for one of its tracks, titled “29”, which seems to address the age gap with her ex-partner Wilmer Valderrama.
The Disney Channel alum began dating the That 70s Show actor in 2010, when she was 17 years old and he was 29. The two dated on and off until they eventually split in 2016.
Lovato recently updated her pronouns to include she/her in addition to they/them. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2711855152996/demi-lovato-s-boyfriend-jutes-everything-to-know-about-the-musician | 2022-08-22T22:42:22Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2711855152996/demi-lovato-s-boyfriend-jutes-everything-to-know-about-the-musician | true | 4 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Webb threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Alex Bachman with 35 seconds to play to rally the Giants to a 25-22 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.
Before the dramatic finish, the Giants had serious concerns about Thibodeaux, the edge rusher who was the No. 5 overall pick in the draft. He hurt his right knee in the second quarter and initially it looked bad even though he walked off the field.
“I’m good, I’ll be back,” Thibodeaux said while walking past the media without a limp after the game. He said it was good news.
Coach Brian Daboll said he would discuss the injury Monday after hearing all the test results. The new coach liked what he saw on the field, especially the way his team rallied later after Cincinnati took a 22-18 lead on a 3-yard touchdown run by Jacques Patrick with 3:05 to play.
Webb’s second touchdown pass of the half to Bachman capped a nine-play, 75-yard march that pulled it out for New York (2-0). The two had combined on a 22-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter to put the Giants ahead 18-16.
Webb, who is the Giants’ third quarterback behind Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor, finished 22 of 27 for 204 yards.
Webb said on the game-winning TD, the Bengals played man-to-man defense and a linebacker blitzed.
“I didn’t make a good throw, I kind of babied it in there,” Webb said. “I was like, ‘Don’t miss it, he’s so open.’ I didn’t throw it good, but he made a great catch, reversed field and scored. That’s Bachman.”
Bachman, whose parents flew in from Southern California for the game, had his best day as a Giant, catching 11 catches for 122 yards in a bid to make the team’s crowded receiver group.
“I finally get an opportunity really to go out there and just appreciate the coaches for putting us in a position to be successful,” Bachman said. “And for Davis, for believing me, keep throwing me the ball … and just glad we were able to go out there and put on a show for the fans.”
The defending AFC champion Bengals fell to 0-2 as they again used younger players and rested their starters for the second straight week.
“These games are so critical,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. “The way we practice is so segmented, so for these guys to go out and play the length of time they do is invaluable for these guys. We hope they are learning from it.”
The Bengals opened a 16-7 lead early in the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run by Trayveon Williams.
Evan McPherson provided the other points for Cincinnati on field goals of 50, 44 and 31 yards.
Jashaun Corbin had scored on 2-yard run on the last series led by Jones (14 of 16 for 116 yards). Webb then rallied New York with three drives. The first ended with a 31-yard field goal by punter-turned-kicker Jamie Gillan followed by the TD passes for Bachman.
INJURIES
Besides Thibodeaux, the Giants had placekicker Graham Gano sustain a concussion, wide receiver/returner C.J. Board leave with a rib injury and linebacker and sixth-round pick Darrian Beavers sustain an injury to his left knee in the third quarter.
Cincinnati lost guard Lamont Gaillard to a calf injury in the third quarter.
NEW JOBS
With Gano out, Gillan took over the kicking duties and did a good job. Two of his kickoffs in the second half landed in the back of the end zone and were not returned. While the get-off time on his 31-yard field goal was not the fastest, it was down the middle. Safety Julian Love was the holder for the left-footed kicker.
UP NEXT
Bengals: Have Super Bowl rematch with the Rams in Cincinnati on Saturday evening.
Giants: Face the Jets on Sunday in the annual preseason game between the franchises that co-own MetLife Stadium.

MOULTRIE, Ga. – The Colquitt County High School’s 50th Regiment Marching Band is “getting the band back together” for this year's Packer football season.
CCHS 50th Regiment Band Director Ryan Borger said the 2022-23 show theme is called “You Will Be Found.”
“It tells a story of struggle with self that young people have more and more of an issue with right now. Just feeling comfortable in their own skin and being who they are that's the concept of the whole show,” Borger explained in an interview Thursday.
The opening number for the show is “Migraine” by Twenty-One Pilots followed by a ballad arrangement of “Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel. The show's closer is a mashup number of “You Will Be Found” from the 2021 film Dear Evan Hansen and “This Is Me” from the 2018 film The Greatest Showman.
Drum Majors Jada Lee and Rose Lopez will be leading the band alongside Borger.
“The band’s goal for this year is to establish what the culture and quality of the band will be for the future,” Borger said.
With the lagging effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band is gradually rebuilding its number of participants.
Now with nearly a 40% increase in participants, the 50th Regiment has approximately 135 students performing in this year’s band.
Borger explained that the band will have a “competition worthy” show this year.
“This year's show [has] much more of a competitive thought process than last year's, so we're doing a couple of local competitions in October,” he said.
In addition to the competitions in October, the band will be supporting the Packers at every football game and traveling in November to Universal Studios Theme Park to perform in the Holiday Parade.
Due to other performance commitments such as football games during playoffs, symphonic band and jazz band, Borger didn’t want students to miss any more time in class.
“We're going the beginning of Thanksgiving, so the kids aren't missing any school,” Borger said.
He added, “We're just going Saturday through Tuesday. We'll be back fairly early on Tuesday, so that everyone can still enjoy Thanksgiving with family.”
The band’s first fundraising effort for the trip was a March-A-Thon during the last week of band camp.
“We gave the kids the opportunity to just say, ‘Hey, we’re going to practice for 45 hours during band camp week. Would you like to pledge any amount per hour to support my participation in the band? I'm hoping to help pay for a trip to Universal Studios perform with the band,’” Borger explained.
The band is also starting a Corporate Sponsorship Program this year.
“For the first time in a few years, we put together an actual corporate sponsorship program for the band. We have levels for any and every business if they want to be known in the community for supporting the 50th Regiment,” Borger said.
He continued, “[Donations range] anywhere from $100 to $2,500 because for some people, things have been harder than others. I also know it's been a really supportive community, and everybody would help if they could. We tried to create a level where everybody felt like they could actually help.”
There are five levels with different donation ranges and perks.
The lowest level is the “Fan of the 50th,” with a donation range of $100 to $250. Donor perks include a name feature on the sign at the Hawg Rock Cafe including at all band concerts, social media recognition and a sticker of sponsorship.
The “Pride Level” is the highest level with a donation of $2,500. Donor perks include a plaque of sponsorship, a mention during pregame and halftime of home games, social media recognition and the name featured on band equipment trucks. Additional perks are logo features on the band equipment truck and on sign at Hawg Rock Cafe & at all band concerts all year.
“All donations go directly to the financial support of the band members — scholarships, meals, equipment upgrades, travel, and honor band opportunities,” according to the handout.
The students might complete another fundraiser soon such as selling chocolate bars to help add to the band’s scholarship fund.
This option allows for other community members including teachers, administrators or parents of current students to help contribute.
“We do those things where all students are contributing to the scholarship fund, and we give scholarships back to the students to travel,” Borger added.
The 50th Regiment fans can also help contribute by shopping at Hawg Rock Cafe, the band’s concession stand, during the Friday night football games.
“The band takes a lot of pride that they run that concession stand,” Borger explained. “They have great service and great selections. They’ll get you in and out of there fast and back to the game. All of the proceeds that are raised in the Hard Rock Cafe go straight to the 50th Regiment, and they're all spent on that marching band and the whole band program.”
Students who are interested in joining the marching band must begin playing in the band during middle school.

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — Rapper Fetty Wap pleaded guilty Monday to a conspiracy drug charge that carries a mandatory five-year prison sentence, admitting that he participated in a massive drug trafficking racket that moved drugs from the West Coast to Long Island.
The plea in Central Islip came before U.S. Magistrate Judge Steven Locke, who had revoked his bond and sent him to jail two weeks ago. After the plea, he was returned to jail to await sentencing, though a date was not immediately set.
Locke revoked the rapper's $500,000 bail, secured by property he owns in Georgia, after prosecutors said that Wap, whose real name is Willie Maxwell, threatened to kill a man during a FaceTime call in 2021, violating the terms of his pretrial release in his drug case.
The “Trap Queen” rapper was initially arrested last October on charges alleging he participated in a conspiracy to smuggle large amounts of heroin, fentanyl and other drugs into the New York City area.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances, the top charge in an indictment against him, though the plea pertained only to cocaine. It carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison while federal sentencing guidelines are likely to recommend about two additional years in prison. The plea spared him from a potential life sentence if he had been convicted on all the charges he faced.
His lawyers did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Maxwell and five co-defendants were accused of conspiring to possess and distribute more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of heroin, fentanyl and crack cocaine between June 2019 and June 2020. Two codefendants also have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
The scheme allegedly involved using the U.S. Postal Service and cars with hidden compartments to move drugs from the West Coast to Long Island, where they were stored for distribution to dealers on Long Island and in New Jersey, prosecutors said.
Maxwell rose to prominence after “Trap Queen,” his debut single, reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 2015.
The Long Island arrest was not his first. In 2019, he was arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly assaulting three employees at a hotel-casino. He was also arrested in November 2017 on a DUI charge after police said he was drag racing on a New York City highway. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Rapper-Fetty-Wap-pleads-guilty-to-conspiracy-drug-17389800.php | 2022-08-22T22:49:39Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Rapper-Fetty-Wap-pleads-guilty-to-conspiracy-drug-17389800.php | true | 38 |
The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s order that alleged assaulter Bui Van Phu be arrested for violating parole.
Gov. Hochul’s opponent Rep. Lee Zeldin is closing in, so to trick us all into thinking she’s a law-and-order governor, she ordered Bui Van Phu to be arrested on a parole warrant after the Bronx criminal court released him (“Hochul punches up story,” Aug. 20).
In my day as a New York Parole Officer, this decision would be made at the office level in the region that covered the parolee’s residence by his parole officer, a senior parole officer and possibly a bureau chief — no red tape or fanfare.
The fact that it took a governor and not parole officials is actually a condemnation of the degradation of the criminal-justice system in our state.
John Urban
Howard Beach
So New York’s do-nothing, know-nothing, pathetic excuse for a governor wants credit for locking up the lowlife accused of putting a man into a coma.
How about every other punk who is being released because of this insane no-bail law? How about firing District Attorney Alvin Bragg?
She is by far the worst thing that has happened to the state. And she wasn’t even elected. She was placed in this position because the other idiot was pushed out. The people of New York can’t be this stupid.
Steven DelGaudio
Edgewater, NJ
Hochul is all of a sudden tough on crime? She couldn’t give herself enough accolades for speaking up and getting that violent, crazed sex offender arrested after he was initially allowed to take to the streets.
Hochul, who has done absolutely nothing other than follow the footsteps of New York’s liberal judges and politicians, finally did something that would not have been necessary if we had the right people in office.
She’s a day late and a dollar short of being a legitimate crime-buster.
Ron Zajicek
Cortlandt Manor
Someone explain to me how only Gov. Hochul figured out that this repeat-offender monster should be back in jail due to violating parole.
Putting aside the downgrading of the crime, you’re telling me that the District Attorney’s office didn’t understand or realize that a multiply-convicted sexual offender who was a lifetime parolee had violated his parole? It’s liberal ineptitude on a very grand scale.

The Issue: Douglas Murray’s piece on the Biden administration’s campaign for a nuclear deal with Iran.
In his column “Stop radical Iran strike force, Joe” (Aug. 19), Douglas Murray reveals the Biden administration’s commitment to appeasement by desperately trying to renegotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, despite evidence that the regime violated the prior agreement.
If such a deal is concluded, it would accelerate Iran’s development of nuclear weaponry and endanger the world.
Somehow, the true nature of the Iranian government eludes the Biden administration. The recent horrendous assassination attempt on Salmon Rushdie and threats on the lives of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser John Bolton have not pushed the administration into changing its determined appeasement policy.
A. J. Linn
Manhattan
The Biden administration is demonstrating sheer idiocy by attempting a deal with Iran, the largest sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East.
Not only would a deal with such an unreliable nation destabilize the entire region, it would reverberate throughout the globe.
Let us not forget Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s threat to kill President Donald Trump. That threat remains.

Although we’re nearing the end of Riverdale’s run (season seven marks the final chapter for the CW series), there’s still some behind-the-scenes secrets to spill.
During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, which aired on Wednesday, August 17, Lili Reinhart — who famously portrays Betty Cooper on the drama — revealed that the actors aren’t “really even allowed to kiss with tongue.”
“You can only be so much of an adult on a CW show,” the actress shared with host Josh Horowitz. “That aspect of things are a little different.”
Lili shared this tidbit of information while discussing her hopes and plans for acting projects post-Riverdale.
“I have a lot of, sort of, dramatic, deep roles in my future after Riverdale. Definitely roles you have not seen me in, and I’m an adult. I’m an adult woman, and I’m going to start playing those more adult roles,” she said.
“Playing more diverse and complicated, messier characters — that’s what’s on my horizon and I couldn’t be more excited,” Lili added.
Of course, we dread the day we have to say our final goodbye to Betty, Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, Cheryl Blossom, and the rest of the Riverdale residents, but we seriously cannot wait to see what roles Lili takes on next.

Ben Stokes says he is taking medication for anxiety due to his mental health issues as he continues to struggle to cope with the death of his father.
The England Test captain opened up in a new Amazon documentary, Phoenix from the Ashes, which will be released on Friday in which he also expressed anger towards a perceived lack of support from the England and Wales Cricket Board when he was charged with affray and subsequently cleared at Bristol Crown Court in 2017. He was dropped for that summer’s Ashes tour after his arrest.
Stokes is a passionate advocate on mental health issues after taking a break from the game last year. He said he needed the break because of the death of his father, Ged, his anger and guilt over a story in The Sun about the murder of his half-siblings before he was born, the pressures of playing international cricket and dealing with injury.
“I’ve never spoke about this stuff,” Stokes said. “I was catastrophising quite badly about stuff. I never thought I would be on medication to help me for that kind of stuff. I am not embarrassed or ashamed to say it, because I needed the help at the time.”
Stokes also details how he told an ECB official to “f--- off” when asked for a selfie on the night of the 2019 World Cup final, laying bare his relationship with the governing body.
In an interview with Telegraph Sport he also reveals how he wants to change English sport, not just cricket, and says there should be no cut in County Championship matches. He says Jos Buttler, the one-day captain, and himself should be consulted as part of the review into domestic cricket being conducted by Sir Andrew Strauss.
But it is his anger towards the ECB that simmers under the surface of the film, which features interviews by Oscar-winning director Sir Sam Mendes. It is clear he is referring to officials at the board when asked if he has any lingering anger over how the governing body treated him when he was arrested in September 2017 and subsequently dropped from the side.
“Few people, yeah quite a few of them wear a suit as well,” he says when asked by Mendes if he felt let down by anyone during that period. “Still there. Always will be,” he adds.
His anger boiled over as England celebrated the World Cup final win.
“One person tried to ask me for a selfie. He is someone who wears a suit. I turned around and told him to f--- off,” he said. “If this person did not know how I felt towards them, they did the night of the World Cup final.”

Florida Democrats to decide Tuesday who would be best to take abortion fight to DeSantis
By Steve Contorno, CNN
On this, the Democratic candidates for Florida governor agree: New restrictions on abortion in the Sunshine State and uncertainty about the future of women’s health across America have reinvigorated their voters and elevated the urgency to their effort to knock off Gov. Ron DeSantis this fall.
But the question of who is best suited to take that fight to DeSantis — seasoned Rep. Charlie Crist or Nikki Fried, the state agriculture commissioner vying to become Florida’s first female governor — has sparked a bitter war of words between the two candidates and fueled a pricey advertising battle that has shaped the closing weeks of their race for the party’s nomination.
Democratic voters in Florida will be the final arbiters on Tuesday when the state holds its primary, one of the last of the 2022 midterm cycle. The race has come to exemplify how the changing abortion landscape following the fall of Roe v. Wade this summer is animating politics on the left and giving Democrats renewed optimism for their chances in key battlegrounds.
With a significant fundraising advantage and overwhelming support from elected Democrats, Crist seemed well positioned to capture the nomination a few months ago. Limited reliable polling has made it difficult to determine where the race stands heading into Election Day, or how much voter sentiment has shifted since the US Supreme Court determined in June that a woman’s right to an abortion is not guaranteed by the US Constitution. But the dynamics of the race have changed considerably as voters and candidates have become clear-eyed about what is at stake in November.
“I sense Nikki Fried is gaining ground,” said Brad Coker, a Florida-based pollster for Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy. “Don’t count her out. I wouldn’t bet my house on it, but if I had 100 bucks I found under a rock, I’d bet it on Nikki Fried.”
For Fried, who stumbled out of the gates as a candidate and was slow to recover, the Dobbs decision brought new purpose to her campaign, and she has carried that momentum into the home stretch. She has hammered Crist, a former Republican governor before becoming an independent and then a Democrat, over his complicated record on abortion issues. She frequently reminds voters that Crist once considered himself “pro-life” and that he appointed a pair of justices who ruled to uphold abortion restrictions.
“I have been pro-choice my entire life,” Fried said last month during the only debate of the race. “I have made sure that I’ve stood on the side of women. Charlie cannot say the same thing.”
Whether Fried’s push was too late remains to be seen. By Monday, 970,000 Democrats had already cast ballots by mail or at early voting sites (about 1.5 million Democrats voted in the 2018 primary). The barrage of criticisms, though, has penetrated enough that Crist felt the need to respond on the air. Throughout August, his campaign has spent valuable ad dollars on a defensive 15-second commercial to rebut Fried’s attacks.
“I vetoed anti-abortion legislation to protect your right to choose, and I’ve got a perfect record from NARAL and Planned Parenthood,” Crist says in the ad. “Nikki knows I fought for your right to choose. More importantly, now you do, too.”
The fall of Roe, while maligned by Democrats, has nevertheless provided much-needed tailwinds here for a party that has been floundering ever since it lost the governor’s race to DeSantis by 32,000 votes four years ago. They have watched as DeSantis has used the office to push through an aggressively conservative agenda and catapult himself into the upper stratosphere of GOP presidential contenders while amassing an unthinkable sum of money for his reelection — more than $132 million on hand as of Thursday. Along the way, Republicans for the first time surpassed Democrats in the state’s registered voters and now boast a 200,000-voter advantage.
Democratic lawmakers, in the minority in both chambers, were powerless as the legislature passed and DeSantis signed a ban on abortion after 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape and incest. The new law took effect July 1 and it remains in place amid a legal challenge.
But after the Dobbs decision, Democrats saw a flood of money coming into their races and renewed energy that manifested itself in protests throughout the state. Outrage has continued as the fallout from life after Roe materializes. And last week, the ramifications of another DeSantis-backed anti-abortion law, this one requiring parental consent for a minor to obtain an abortion, played out in public. A court determined a 16-year-old Florida girl without parents was not mature enough to decide to end her pregnancy and denied her a waiver that would have allowed her to get an abortion.
To be clear, Democrats here care most about one thing: beating DeSantis and slowing his ascent to the national stage. The back and forth between Crist and Fried over abortion, though, has come to encapsulate the dueling arguments for each other’s candidacy.
Fried’s allies hope an upset over Crist may foreshadow the ground shifting in Florida, much as the country saw earlier this month when Kansas voters rejected an amendment to strip abortion rights from the state’s constitution. They say Fried, as a woman who won four years ago when every other Democrat running statewide in Florida lost, is uniquely positioned to capture that energy.
The Dobbs decision “was definitely an inflection point,” said Kevin Cate, a top strategist for Fried. “The intensity after that happened was huge and you have people looking for someone to be their champion. It’s about meeting the moment.”
Yet much of the Democratic establishment in Florida believes otherwise. Most elected Democrats are backing Crist, the candidate who brought them within 64,000 votes as the party’s nominee for governor in 2014. The state’s largest labor groups have supported Crist over Fried as well, as have Barbara Zdravecky, the former CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, and Alex Sink, the state’s former elected chief financial officer who founded an organization that recruits and trains Democratic women who support abortion rights to run for office.
Most have said they are unbothered by Crist’s complicated history on abortion rights, focusing instead on his reliable record during his three terms in the US House of Representatives while insisting his track record working from the middle will appeal to more swing voters.
“For me, it’s not, ‘You’re a woman, you check that box, I’ll support you,'” said state Rep. Fentrice Driskell, who will lead House Democrats in Tallahassee next year. “It’s, ‘What do you bring to the table holistically?’ To me, Charlie Crist is the best person to meet the moment.”
Perhaps most notable is that the major groups that mobilize around abortion rights have chosen to remain neutral in the race.
State Rep. Kristen Arrington, one of the few elected officials who endorsed Fried, said she will support Crist if he’s the nominee, but her fellow Democrats are underestimating Fried’s appeal as a fresher face.
“I don’t want to poopoo them. Many of them made decisions before (Dobbs),” Arrington said. “But sometimes women can be their own worst enemy and not support each other. Nothing against the men candidates because they’re great allies and we can’t do it alone, but I think it’s important to have women in leadership. For too long, we’ve had men making decisions about our bodies.”
Crist and Fried have exhausted nearly all of their resources trying to win the primary, much of it spent persuading Democratic voters over abortion. Meanwhile, DeSantis and the Florida GOP have already spent more than $10 million on digital and television ads on the incumbent governor’s reelection campaign, about twice as much as Fried and Crist have spent on airtime combined, according to an analysis of data collected by AdImpact.
Despite limited investments in Florida to date, Democrats remain hopeful that come Wednesday, regardless of the nominee, the party and its election backers will step up to help fund a campaign against DeSantis. A potentially motivating factor is that Florida, for now, remains one of the more permissive states to obtain an abortion in the South.
But some Crist supporters have privately expressed concern that the taxing fight over abortion in the primary has left the party fractured heading into a difficult general election.
“It’s a shame that in an effort to win a political office, Nikki Fried would attempt to undermine a fellow Democrat,” said Joshua Karp, a strategist for the Crist campaign. “Democrats are fired up to defend Roe at the ballot box. The only candidate who can build that coalition is Charlie Crist and that’s why so many pro-choice leaders have endorsed him.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 11.8% to RMB2,666.0 million (US$398.0 million) from RMB2,384.1 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees and post facilitation service fees.
Loan facilitation service fees increased by 10.5% to RMB1,052.1 million (US$157.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB952.4 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the increase in transaction volume, partially offset by the decrease in service fee rates.
Post-facilitation service fees increased by 61.1% to RMB482.8 million (US$72.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB299.6 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increase in outstanding loans served by the Company and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB709.5 million (US$105.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to RMB665.7 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the increased outstanding loan balance of off-balance sheet loans, partially offset by the improved asset quality. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. As the Company transitioned its business towards better quality borrowers, the fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination decreased due to better asset quality.
Net interest income decreased by 8.3% to RMB282.9 million (US$42.2 million) for the second quarter of 2022, from RMB308.5 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates, partially offset by the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on balance sheet loans.
Other revenue decreased by 12.2% to RMB138.6 million (US$20.7 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB157.9 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the decrease in customer referral fees from other third-party platforms.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue increased by 16.4% to RMB529.7 million (US$79.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB455.0 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increase in employees' expenditures and fees paid to the third-party service providers as a result of the increase in loan origination volume.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 30.9% to RMB327.1 million (US$48.8 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB473.2 million in the same period of 2021 as a result of the decreased investments in the acquisition of new borrowers on the Company's platform due to Covid-19 resurgence in China.
Research and development expenses increased by 10.9% to RMB116.0 million (US$17.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022, from RMB104.6 million in the same period of 2021, due to the increased investments in technology development.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 24.0% to RMB95.8 million (US$14.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to RMB126.1 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increase in operating efficiency.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets increased by 99.2% to RMB94.4 million (US$14.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to RMB47.4 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the increase in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by a lower expected default rate as a result of the transition to better quality borrowers.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB59.1 million (US$8.8 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared to RMB81.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a lower-than-expected default rate as a result of the transition to better quality borrowers, partially offset by the increase in outstanding loan balance of on balance sheet loans.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB787.1 million (US$117.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to RMB391.1 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the increase in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by lower expected default rate as a result of the transition to better quality borrowers.
Operating profit decreased by 6.8% to RMB656.7 million (US$98.0 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB704.7 million in the same period of 2021.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB681.5 million (US$101.7 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 6.1% from RMB726.1 million in the same period of 2021. Non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group was RMB606.0 million (US$90.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 6.5% from RMB647.8 for the same period of 2021.
Other income increased by 81.8% to RMB46.9 million (US$7.0 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB25.8 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the increase in government subsidy and investment gains.
Income tax expense was RMB118.4 million (US$17.7 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared to income tax expenses of RMB110.1 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was mainly due to a change in preferential tax rate for certain qualified subsidiaries, partially offset by the decline in pre-tax profit.
Net profit was RMB585.2 million (US$87.4 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared to RMB620.4 million in the same period of 2021.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB581.2 million (US$86.8 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared to RMB626.4 million in the same period of 2021.
Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.98 (US$0.30) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.40 (US$0.06), a decrease of 6.2 % year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.06 (US$0.31) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.41 (US$0.06), a decrease of 5.1% year-over-year. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB4,277.3 million (US$638.6 million) and short-term investments mainly in wealth management products of RMB907.3 million (US$135.5 million).

ONE PILL CAN KILL: Attorney General Moody Warns of New Deadly Drugs as College Students Begin a New Semester
Attorney General Ashley Moody News Release
ONE PILL CAN KILL: Attorney General Moody Warns of New Deadly Drugs as College Students Begin a New Semester
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—As fall semester begins in Florida, Attorney General Ashley Moody is warning college students about new, deadly drugs flooding the black market. Fentanyl is now the number one killer of adults between the ages of 18 and 45. While this synthetic opioid is often covertly mixed with other substances, it is now being discovered in bright, rainbow colors—raising concerns that it may become more enticing to younger users.
Eutylone, a lesser-known drug defined as a psychoactive bath salt, is also claiming an alarming number of lives in Florida. The National Institute of Justice reports that Florida accounts for more than 60% of the positive cases of eutylone in the United States. Eutylone is cheap to produce and mimics the effects of cocaine, methamphetamine and ecstasy. Like fentanyl, it is often being mixed with other illicit drugs and sold to unsuspecting users with deadly consequences.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “As millions of teens and young adults begin another academic year, I want to make sure these students understand the dangers of using illicit drugs. More common drugs like cocaine, meth and ecstasy are being mixed with other dangerous substances and sold to unsuspecting users. So never take an illicit substance and remember that just one pill can kill.”
Eutylone can be found in powder, capsule or tablet form. It may be ingested, smoked, snorted or injected. The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies eutylone as a Schedule 1 substance and deems it unacceptable for medical use in the U.S. since there is a high potential for abuse. According to the Department of Justice, eutylone is known to be sold under the codenames Red Bull and Blue Playboy, but seems to be deceptively sold as MDMA. Although eutylone looks identical to other common drugs, the effects are weaker, therefore drug users increase dosage amounts to experience the expected high, leading to illness or death.
Additionally, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are finding new colored fentanyl pills with a candy-like appearance that smugglers are attempting to bring across the border. Just between Aug. 16 and 17, CBP officers at the Port of Nogales seized more than 265,000 colored fentanyl pills.
Attorney General Moody recently released the Fast Facts on Fentanyl Toolkit, an informational resource for parents to help protect children from digital drug dealers online. The toolkit highlights how drug dealers utilize social media to sell illicit substances and warns that those substances may contain deadly amounts of synthetic opioids. To view the toolkit, click here.
To warn Floridians of dangerous drugs, Attorney General Moody developed the Dose of Reality Florida website. The site serves as a one-stop resource to learn about the dangers of drug misuse, how to receive support for addiction and where to drop off unused prescription drugs to avoid having them fall into the wrong hands.

Following a months-long national search, the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic appointed Christy Trotter as its new chief executive officer earlier this month.
Trotter, who has spent most of her life in the Valley, served as the YVFWC’s chief financial officer as well as its interim CEO. Now that her role is more cemented, Trotter said she’s looking forward to a future where the Farm Workers Clinic is more than just a health care provider, and is a member of the community.
The nonprofit Farm Workers Clinic serves more than 190,000 patients annually in Washington and Oregon and employs about 1,600 people. One in five of the organization’s patients are migrant or agricultural workers.
The Yakima Herald sat down with Trotter and asked her a few questions about her plans for the future, her reasons for staying in Yakima and how she plans to improve the health of Yakima County, as well as the rest of the clinic’s coverage area.
Now that you’re no longer interim, what long term goals do you have for the Farm Workers Clinic?
The first thing I’m doing is I think it’s really important for myself as a leader to listen to our employees and our providers, so I’m going to spend the next two or three months touring all our sites, having listening sessions with each of the employees and the providers. I want to take that information and come back and work with my teams to then come up with a strategy of how to address some employee improvement areas, things that we could do for the providers, things that we can do for our patients to make things better for them.
My focus is really on holistic care for our patients. We want our patients to have the best outcomes. We also want our employees to be high quality and love where they work. I also want to make sure we are relevant in our communities. That may mean different things depending (on where we are). In Yakima we have a large presence so we have a lot more resources here to be better partners. In some other communities like Spokane where we’re a little bit smaller, that may look different.
I still believe that people should know us beyond just the health care we’re providing. We should be an actual member of the community.
With your appointment, all three Federally Qualified Health Centers in Yakima County are now led by women. How does it feel to be a part of this growing group of female CEOs?
To be honest I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve had people approach me with that statement but I just see myself as me. I try to look at other people that way. I want to focus on the individual.
I am proud that I have been able to get to this level in my career. I raised a family and you know, juggling kids and career was a challenge. You always feel like, ‘Am I letting my family down?’ But my boys, they are so proud of me and it just makes me feel very good that I was a good mom too and they’re proud of me. That part is exciting.
You’ve spent most of your life in the Valley and built an impressive resume. You could most likely go and work anywhere you wanted. Why do you choose to stay here?
I love the Valley. When I graduated from high school I was bound and determined to go to a school that no one else was going to so I ended up at University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. I stayed there for a couple of years then I transferred to Central and then moved back to Yakima. It’s my home, it’s where my family is. I love the community, I love the diversity and I’m kind of a farm person so I like being around agriculture and people who work with their hands and work hard every day.
I have a lot of respect for people in the agricultural industry and the people who work in the fields. I understand what it’s like to be part of that and I enjoy it.
Yakima County has a lot of public health issues. What are some local health issues you want to focus on or consider the most important to address?
Well, I don’t want Yakima County to be (one of the highest) in the state for obesity … We’ve already started some programs to at least address obesity and diseases related to that. We started a teaching kitchen in Toppenish and we’ve also added dieticians who are embedded into our clinics so we are trying very much so to have a holistic approach to health care and help our patients create healthy lifestyles for them that they can actually replicate at home.
That is a big initiative for us. We’ve partnered with food banks. We have a program in Toppenish where clients can pick up food at the food bank and then we can teach them how to use that food to create a healthy meal in our testing kitchen.
We’re really trying to work with other partners in the community to build a healthy community. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/community-q-a-meet-the-new-ceo-of-the-yakima-valley-farm-workers-clinic/article_9d79aace-223b-11ed-95ba-d7b1ac01fbdd.html | 2022-08-22T23:21:19Z | https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/community-q-a-meet-the-new-ceo-of-the-yakima-valley-farm-workers-clinic/article_9d79aace-223b-11ed-95ba-d7b1ac01fbdd.html | true | 1 |

Three Florida county ballots include transportation tax questions
Ballots this fall in three Florida counties will include questions to address transportation funding needs.
Hernando County
One question on the Nov. 8 ballot in Hernando County will ask voters whether to authorize a one-half-cent sales tax for roads and recreation.
Passage of the referendum in the county located in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area would raise about $138 million over the next decade.
Roads would receive most of the revenue. About 80% would be used to relieve existing and future traffic congestion by expanding local roadways and improving intersections. The rest would be allotted to parks and recreation.
A list of projects is available.
Additionally, commercial development would be enhanced. One highlighted project is a 700,000-square-foot air cargo distribution/transit trucking center.
Advocates say the tax would help with needs throughout the growing county while reducing reliance on property tax.
Hillsborough County
Voters in the state’s fourth most populous county will again decide on a transportation tax.
In fall 2018, voters in Hillsborough County approved a question to raise the local sales tax by one cent for better roads and bridges, and other improvements. The tax was later overturned by the Florida Supreme Court.
Hillsborough County commissioners recently voted to include a question on the fall ballot for a 1% transportation tax. The tax in the county that includes the city of Tampa would be in place for 30 years.
Round one
In November 2018, voters approved Referendum 2 to raise the local sales tax to 8% from 7%. About 55% of new revenue was set to be applied for road work. The remaining funds were designated to pay for new and enhanced transit options.
Shortly after the passage of the referendum, multiple legal challenges were waged. Critics, including Hillsborough County Commissioner Stacy White, argued the tax was unconstitutional and took power from the County Commission.
The issue ultimately made its way to the Florida Supreme Court, where plaintiffs argued the charter amendment was “deceptive” to voters. Additionally, they said the spending parameters were set by the referendum and not by elected officials.
In early 2021, the Supreme Court ruled the tax unconstitutional.
Round two
On Nov. 8, voters will again decide whether to tax themselves for transportation improvements.
Specifically, they will vote on whether to approve a 1% sales tax for transportation purposes. If approved, it would take effect in January 2023.
The sales tax is estimated to raise $342 million in the first year.
Supporters say the money is needed to avoid losing out on federal funding. They point out that a local match is necessary to secure federal funds estimated at $229 million.
Critics say a sales tax is regressive and disproportionately affects lower-income residents.
Revenue allotment
About half – 45% – of the revenue would be dedicated to the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority.
The county and three cities would get 54.5% of the revenue. Shares would be based on population.
Another one-half percent would go to the Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization.
Funds would be used for projects that include additional lanes, lighting improvements, and construction and improvements to sidewalks and curb extensions.
Orange County
Voters in Orange County also will decide whether to tax themselves to benefit transportation work.
Passage of the ballot question would add a penny to the county’s sales tax. The largest county in Central Florida now collects a 6.5% sales tax.
Increasing the tax rate to 7.5% would be used to improve public transportation in the county that includes the city of Orlando.
A penny sales tax would raise about $600 million annually for 20 years.
The additional tax would not be collected on essential food items that including bread and milk. Prescription drugs and utilities also would be exempt.
The money would be applied to upgrade bus, train and road transportation throughout the county.
Specifically, transit would receive 45% of the funds. Another 45% would be directed to the county for local roads, and bicycle and pedestrian lanes. The county’s 13 municipalities would divvy the other 10% for roads.
A portion of the revenue would be used for safety improvements that include synchronizing traffic lights.
Advocates say the 1-cent sales tax would help solve transportation problems resulting from population growth. They add that the transportation tax would free up about $100 million in the current budget. LL

Truss sets out growth plan for West Midlands ahead of Tory leadership hustings
Liz Truss has promised to put the West Midlands “at the heart of our economic revival” ahead of the 10th Tory leadership hustings in Birmingham.
The Foreign Secretary and former chancellor Rishi Sunak will once again be put to the test by party members during a two-hour event in the second-largest city in the UK.
Times Radio’s John Pienaar will present the hustings, interviewing each candidate and moderating questions from the audience.
It will be broadcast live on Times Radio from 7pm to 9pm and streamed in vision on the Times Radio YouTube channel.
Ahead of the debate, Ms Truss, who is currently the frontrunner in the race, set out her plan to boost growth and drive opportunity across the West Midlands.
Through lower taxes, better regulation and supply side reform, the Foreign Secretary believes she will create a favourable environment for the private sector, getting behind firms in the region, if she becomes prime minister.
Ms Truss also pledged to deliver key infrastructure projects, including the Midlands Rail Hub, and support West Midlands mayor Andy Street to deliver the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill metro extension in full.
She said she would also put the government’s full weight behind efforts to bring a battery gigafactory to the region.
Ms Truss said: “I will put the West Midlands at the heart of our economic revival with my Conservative plan to level up.
“My bold vision for lower taxes, supply side reform and regulation that works for our businesses will utilise the power of the West Midlands economy to boost opportunity for people across the region.
“From Coventry’s cars to Stoke’s ceramics, the West Midlands is a vital part of the UK’s economic engine, and plays host to some of the most innovative industries and companies in the country.
“My plan will support and harness that power, helping our businesses grow and provide the high-quality jobs that we need.
“The West Midlands can play a critical role in a new economic revolution in Britain.
“I will cut taxes on families and firms, support vital infrastructure and create new investment zones to deliver for the people of the West Midlands.
“I will also strengthen devolution to put more power in the hands of our excellent local leaders like Andy Street.”
The hustings on Tuesday evening comes as Ms Truss is being urged to be more transparent with her plans for an emergency budget to address the cost-of-living crisis.
In a wide-ranging interview on BBC Radio 2, Mr Sunak said he is receiving a “warm reception” while campaigning, even as he acknowledged that some Tory Party members are still angry at him for quitting Boris Johnson’s Government.
The former chancellor said: “If I actually spent all my time looking at the polls or reading newspapers, I probably wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning to do all these things.”
“There are a group of people among our members, and that is understandable, who are upset I resigned from Government,” he admitted.
But he rejected suggestions that his campaign has not been “politically savvy” as he said he just wants to be “honest” with voters about the state of the British economy.
Ms Truss has said she would bring forward urgent plans to address rising energy bills if elected as prime minister.
But Conservative MP Mel Stride, who chairs the Commons Treasury Committee, called into question reports that she is not planning to ask the independent Office for Budget Responsibility for a forecast ahead of the measures she is planning for next month.
Mr Stride, a Sunak supporter, told LBC: “At the moment the Liz camp are saying, I believe, that there will not be any OBR forecast produced at that time and that is kind of like flying blind.”
The former chancellor’s campaign had earlier called on Ms Truss to “come clean”, and claimed her plans to borrow in order to fund tax cuts are “dangerous”.
He told the BBC: “Liz’s plans are promising the earth to everybody. I don’t think you can have your cake and eat it. I don’t think life is that simple, and I think her plan risks making everything worse.”
Ms Truss has argued that tax cuts will help to grow the UK’s economy and boost prosperity.
A Truss campaign spokesman said: “The cost-of-living crisis means immediate action is required.
“A Truss government would seek to act as soon as possible to help people across the UK, by cutting taxes and introducing a temporary moratorium on energy levies.” | https://www.itv.com/news/2022-08-22/truss-sets-out-growth-plan-for-west-midlands-ahead-of-tory-leadership-hustings | 2022-08-22T23:22:40Z | https://www.itv.com/news/2022-08-22/truss-sets-out-growth-plan-for-west-midlands-ahead-of-tory-leadership-hustings | false | 10 |
Establishment Republicans love to blame Donald Trump for their losses, but they are their own problem
Rep. Liz Cheney – the daughter of former US Vice-President Dick Cheney, of the President George W. Bush era – had publicly positioned herself as chief co-prosecutor of former President Donald Trump in the congressional hearings into the events around the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. But that isn’t why she lost this week’s Republican primary in the state of Wyoming and the chance to run for re-election.
The Western mainstream media is portraying Cheney’s loss of her congressional seat this week as the result of her firm stance against Trump and his behavior in egging on his supporters as they sought to interrupt the process by which the 2020 election would be certified by US lawmakers.
But Cheney didn’t lose just because she’s a prominent Trump critic. She lost because she routinely defends and proudly represents a broken establishment that voters in America’s heartland are increasingly rejecting.
Just ahead of Cheney’s highly anticipated loss, Meghan McCain – the daughter of neoconservative war hawk and late Senator John McCain – Tweeted: “Liz Cheney has guts, is an original and goes against the grain and MAGA kool aid drinking group think that’s a cancer in GOP leadership.” Reducing Cheney’s 66% to 29% defeat by Harriet Hageman – a lifelong Wyoming local and lawyer who has represented ranchers and the energy industry – to the mere fact that Trump had endorsed her opponent, is an insult to Wyoming’s voters. McCain’s framing also conveniently allows for both the Washington and Republican establishments – of which the McCains and the Cheney’s are essentially royalty – to avoid addressing the inconvenient, underlying reasons for the loss.
One of Cheney’s biggest problems is that, like the McCains, she’s a neoconservative who has consistently advocated in favor of greater American interventionism and belligerence around the globe – from Ukraine to Iran and beyond. She wants to dump ever more weapons into Ukraine, apparently oblivious to the potential blowback from this recklessness. She even co-authored an opinion piece for the Washington Post with Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss, in which she wrote that Ukrainians “are not just fighting for their own freedom. They are fighting for ours, too.” Ah, the classic neocon trope – that America has to meddle everywhere around the world in the interests of “freedom”! Funny how that “freedom” is only ever needed in places that either have lots of natural resources or else just happen to be at or near somewhere that Washington wants to regime change.
Wyoming Republicans are the kind of “live and let live” sort of people who are strongly against the government running much more than a lemonade stand. A whopping 70% voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election while just 27% chose Joe Biden. It’s no coincidence that Trump has the backing of Wyomingites when he was not only the first modern president to not start a new foreign war while in office, but also worked at reducing big government.
Trump’s election in 2016 was the result of general exasperation with the corrupt establishment running the country, and that exasperation persists, particularly on the Republican side of the aisle. Although Trump no longer serves as an electoral vehicle for voters to channel those frustrations, results like Cheney’s defeat are nonetheless symptomatic of a persistent desire for systemic reform. It’s the proverbial tip of the iceberg that occasionally breaks through.
The Republican Party base is no longer what it was back in the days when right-wing voters elected Republican candidates with Washington establishment pedigrees. Cheney represents that old guard. Her tone deafness to that fact on the campaign trail included dragging her 81-year old father to whistle stops, who’s synonymous with establishment special interests in sectors ranging from energy to defense, which were routinely evoked during his vice-presidential tenure as alleged pretexts for his drive to war, having previously served as Chairman of the oil company, Halliburton, and as the Secretary of Defense in the George H.W. Bush administration.
Liz Cheney has arguably spent considerably more time in Washington than in Wyoming. She cut her political teeth inside the Republican establishment, serving in Bush Jr’s state department, and previously as an aid officer to the CIA-linked USAID program in Poland and Hungary in the wake of the Cold War.
While Cheney has also been vocal against cancel culture and high taxes, that’s now the very basic minimum requirement to be considered for Republican candidacy in this era of reckless fiscal spending and societal erosion. By no means should passing such an elementary litmus test constitute a high bar for winning the support of Republican voters or that of anyone else fed up with the corruption of the American system and way of life.
Cheney proudly positions herself as a gatekeeper of that corrupt, broken system and as one of its staunch defenders. She mistook it as a virtue, and the GOP primary voters who sent her packing have just conveyed that they want her and other establishment fixtures like her to get out of the way.

The city’s revisiting its moderate income housing plan at the requirement of the state legislature. Residents are invited to weigh in on an updated action plan at the meeting.
The proposed action plan includes goals like creating incentives for developers to build affordable homes and creating programs to help landlords retain tenants.
A staff report includes a report that says a new law passed this year by the Legislature requires the city to drop its previous requirement that 10% of new homes be affordable. It says the city can add new incentives to encourage developers to build affordable housing, but that from 2012 to 2018, no such incentives resulted in new affordable units created.
Heber City’s also considering rerouting a stretch of an 8- to-10-foot paved trail through city neighborhoods. The original trail route was part of a trails master plan adopted in early 2021.
The original design was to build the trail along Center Street running east to west through the city. The new plan would shift that route south a few blocks. Heber City Executive Assistant Luke Searle said that’s to address traffic concerns and avoid having to bury power lines.
The change would run the trail from Mill Road at the eastern edge of town along 200 South, then reroute to 300 South just east of Main Street. It would follow 300 South the rest of the way west to the Heber Valley Railroad.
Searle said this portion of the trail will connect into parks and other trail systems around downtown. The city would work on it while it’s already replacing water and sewer lines in the area.
“We're hoping to get that portion done and work to get funding for that through grants and through the city's budget to complete that trail,” Searle said. “But there's not a specific timeline of when it will be done.”
He said the project will go before the Heber City Council on September 6 for approval. He said that will be another chance for the public to learn about the trail by seeing maps as he and other planners show the design.
The meeting’s Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Heber City Hall, 75 North Main Street.

Laura Whitmore will no longer host 'Love Island,' citing 'very difficult' elements of the show
Laura Whitmore is out as host of U.K. reality series Love Island.
Two and a half years after she replaced the original host, her late friend Caroline Flack — who died by suicide in February 2020 — the Irish TV personality says she's leaving the show, which is not to be confused with the Sarah Hyland-hosted U.S. version.
"Some news! I won't be hosting the next series of Love island," Whitmore wrote Monday on social media. "There are certain elements of the show I've found very difficult that cannot be changed — some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects. I wish it was still possible but know you'll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series.
"I hope I did you proud Caroline," Whitmore added.
Last month, Whitmore announced an upcoming true-crime show, Laura Whitmore Investigates. She also said she would star in a London production of 2:22 A Ghost Story beginning Sept. 6. "Come see me on stage making my West End debut in this critically acclaimed psychological thriller," she teased.
In response to Whitmore's departure, ITV released a statement: "Laura has been a fantastic host across the last three series of the show. We are so grateful for everything she has brought to the program but understand and respect her decision, and we look forward to working with her on upcoming ITV projects."
Whitmore's husband, Iain Stirling, has narrated Love Island since it debuted in 2015. Yahoo Entertainment reached out to the network on whether Sterling will return and the question of who will replace Whitmore.
A rep responded, "Love Island will return in 2023 on ITV2 and ITVX, and we will confirm further details in due course." | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/laura-whitmore-leaving-love-island-host-215528463.html | 2022-08-22T23:31:37Z | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/laura-whitmore-leaving-love-island-host-215528463.html | true | 1 |
Franklin County’s municipal court could soon be hearing cases on revoked and suspended driver’s licenses.
Such cases are now heard in Franklin County Circuit Court, with people accused of driving with a revoked or suspended license facing state charges.
When the county set up the municipal court around a decade ago, it did not include the ability for the court to hear tickets involving driving while license suspended or revoked, Franklin County Prosecutor Matthew Becker told county commissioners at a Thursday workshop meeting. At the time, punishments allowed by state law included two days of shock time.
“Then you are, kind of, dealing with mandatory jail time,” Becker said. “The argument could be made that we would have to appoint public defenders.”
But that law changed a few years ago, removing mandatory jail time for license offenders and turning it into a Class D misdemeanor, Becker said. But the county has yet to adapt its process.
Now, Becker said, putting driving while license suspended offenses under the county code could help relieve the state court system.
While the change could increase the county municipal court’s caseload by several hundred cases a year, it could have a major positive impact on the state courts, Becker said.
“They don’t take a lot of time to prosecute, so it’s not really a great burden within our office to do it, but they do have a tendency to slow other cases down,” he said.
Changing the county code to hear suspended license cases in municipal court could make the process more efficient, Presiding Commissioner Tim Brinker said.
Currently, in many cases where a driver is ticketed for both driving with a suspended license and speeding, both cases are heard in state court, Becker said. “They don’t have to, but as a practical matter, it makes sense to keep them together,” he said. “So they do end up sending driving while license suspended and many other tickets (to state).” With the change, both would be heard by the municipal court.
The change in county code will require three public hearings, County Counselor Mark Piontek said. The dates of the hearings have not been announced.
Brinker asked Becker to work with Piontek on drafting language for the code change. | https://www.emissourian.com/local_news/county-looking-at-changes-to-suspended-license-cases/article_ba054364-2223-11ed-98d2-fb2499f41372.html | 2022-08-22T23:33:43Z | https://www.emissourian.com/local_news/county-looking-at-changes-to-suspended-license-cases/article_ba054364-2223-11ed-98d2-fb2499f41372.html | false | 1 |
Critical Race Theory (CRT) ideologues and their Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE)-minded cousins peddle various fantasies. One reprehensible narrative concerns racial disparities among US military deaths during wartime. Not content with claims that teachers who require correct answers from students on their math problems are guilty of “white supremacy culture” (see A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction); or that 1619 rather than 1776 marks the true founding of the country; that disparity of results among those of differing pigmentation manifests race prejudice; or that good “antiracism” requires racism of a different sort (against whites and Asians); CRT-based assertions that US combat losses from Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq prove institutional racism are particularly contemptible. They paint those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country in a negative light, as if pawns in a racist conspiracy.
As a Virginia Military Institute (VMI) graduate and retired Air Force member with several kinfolk currently in-service, I want to make clear that it makes no difference to me what color someone was who died in the service. Each military fatality, of which I’ve known my share among unit buddies and friends – during peacetime or hostilities – deserves the honor of a grateful nation. The member’s melanin is a zero to me.
This commentary addresses losses in three conflicts: Southeast Asia (often referred to as “Vietnam”), Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Regarding Vietnam, the popular consensus has been to view the presumed inordinately high loss rate of black ground-combat personnel in that conflict as tantamount to their use as “cannon fodder” by the Pentagon. This view continues to be perpetuated by CRT gurus such as Richard Delgado, “a mentee of [Derrick] Bell,” considered “the father of CRT” – both quotes from a VMI diversity official whose own dissertation promotes the myth.
In his highly-regarded 1999 work, A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Final Tragedy of America’s Last Years in Vietnam, Lewis Sorley added to the findings of Col. Harry Summers, Jr. (pg. 303):
Summers noted that the casualties were proportioned by race in about the same numbers as the population as a whole, and that almost 70 percent of those who were killed in Vietnam had been volunteers. “Instead of ‘black, poor, and conscripted’ as we have been led to believe,” wrote Colonel Summers, “the evidence is those who died in Vietnam were mostly ‘white, middle class and volunteers.’ And so were most who served there as well. But that is a ‘nonfact,’ i.e., a fact not acknowledged because it’s not politically correct.”
Sorley added, “Perhaps most meaningful of all the evidence is the large numbers of veterans who, decades after the war, still attend annual reunions of the outfits in which they served.” Of course, that was two decades ago. But for most, their war experience was meaningful and treasured. I know firsthand of one small town where Memorial Day remembrances of their war dead, including from Vietnam, have zero to do with race. Their events are uplifting, after long decades still mixing laughter, hugs, and tears. It is one of the most patriotic communities in the country: Andalusia, Alabama. I recommend a visit.
The mischaracterization of military deaths by race in Vietnam served different agendas. Beginning in the 1960s, for those seeking to live absent civic responsibility – perhaps including draft-dodging (not limited to either major political party) – it was convenient to decry the war or military manpower efforts as racist. To others starting up the now-multibillion-dollar, inherently-divisive race industry (currently led by Black Lives Matter Global Foundation), the racially-engineered “cannon fodder” mantra fueled support and donors.
However, one badly misguided military manpower program must be mentioned here: Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s “Project 100,000,” which permitted previously unfit young men to serve in the armed forces, most of them between 1967 and 1970. The project was a militarily counterproductive extension to the Pentagon of the Johnson administration’s Great Society programs. At the same time, defense leaders realized the need for more ground-combat forces in Vietnam than were readily available, a requirement the project helped to fill.
Meanwhile, President Johnson had refused to mobilize the reserves for the war, most likely so as not to compromise his Great Society ambitions of economic and social uplift for the poor. For those four years, an inordinately large number of draft-age black men were inducted, roughly one-half of whom previously would not have been eligible for military service due to low aptitude, social maladjustment, or violence.
Of those inducted, about one-half volunteered, the others were conscripted. An inordinate percentage of young blacks went into the infantry, and fought and died or were wounded in Vietnam (see Lisa Hsiao’s 1989 article, “Project 100,000: The Great Society’s Answer to Military Manpower Needs in Vietnam”). Rightly deemed a failure, the project was costly especially in lives lost or ruined.
But by the early 1970s, as the “Vietnamization” process followed by the American withdrawal turned the war over to the South Vietnamese, throughout the previous decade the US military’s loss of white and black personnel in Vietnam approximated their percentages in the US population at large. In 1970, black Americans comprised 11.1 percent of the population. Of the 58,220 US military deaths reported by the National Archives, black or African-American losses were 7,243, or 12.4 percent. By comparison, in 1970 the US white population was 87.7 percent. White military losses totaled 49,830, or 85.6 percent.
For the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, a Congressional Research Service report (CRS Report RL32492), updated in 2020, provided reliable statistics on US military casualties by categories, including race. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the combined US Army-Marine-Corps hostile/nonhostile fatalities are as follows (the crux of the issue is ground-combat losses, so I omitted Navy and Air Force fatalities):
Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)
black: 177 (8.3 percent)
white: 1,821 (85.8 percent)
total (including all races): 2,122 dead (hostile/nonhostile)
Operation Iraqi Freedom
black: 422 (9.9 percent)
white: 3,520 (82.6 percent)
total (including all races): 4,260 dead (hostile/nonhostile)
In 2000 (the first time respondents could report multiple races), of those who claimed only one race in the census, blacks comprised 12.3 percent; whites accounted for 75.1 percent.
If one thing is clear from the above statistics, there is no basis for the claim that black military personnel have been used generally as “cannon fodder” in America’s wars from Vietnam to the present. The lone, temporary exception was the misbegotten McNamara Pentagon’s attempt at social engineering in the late 1960s – not so unlike today’s counterproductive programming in the defense department, perhaps, ironically, including CRT.
For CRT advocates from Bell to Delgado to VMI’s diversity office to claim that the typical use of black military personnel has been as “cannon fodder” is false, disproven by the facts, and irresponsible.
Of course, if one assumes – as some CRT writers do – that employing facts is, itself, evidence of “white supremacy culture,” such an individual may only be pitied.

Tennessee woman charged with inmate's murder after alleged meth-laced kiss
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A jailhouse kiss left an inmate dead and his apparent girlfriend facing serious criminal charges, officials in Tennessee say.
It was back in February when guards spotted Rachal Dollard smooching Joshua Brown during her visit to the Turney Center Industrial Complex, a rural prison in central Tennessee. But it wasn’t just any kiss; Dollard allegedly used the opportunity to pass drugs from her mouth to his.
Brown ended up swallowing a balloon pellet containing a half-ounce of methamphetamine. He later died at a local hospital.
Dollard was arrested this past weekend on charges of second-degree murder and introduction of contraband into a penal facility.

Brown had been serving an 11-year sentence on drug-related charges, according to records. His sentence was set to expire in 2029.

The Tennessee Department of Correction noted that they already use techniques like searches and drug-sniffing dogs to try to catch smugglers; they are in the process of adding body scanners.
"This incident points to the real dangers of introducing contraband into prisons and the consequences that follow," said David Imhof, director of TDOC’s Office of Investigations and Conduct. "Our agency will pursue prosecution against any individual who threatens the safety and security of our staff, the men and women in our custody, and our facilities."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Drew Waters drew a bases-loaded walk to break an eighth-inning tie in his major league debut, boosting the Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday in a game rescheduled because of the lockout in April.
Joe Kelly (1-3), the seventh of eight White Sox pitchers, hit a pair of batters to start the inning. Ryan O’Hearn singled, and Waters drew a five-pitch walk with one out to break a 4-all tie.
“It’s a big deal just getting here and the being able to contribute like that,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “He did a great job. He showed a lot of poise on some pretty close pitches.”
Waters, who was recalled from Triple-A Omaha before the game, was hoping to do more.
“Just looking for a pitch to drive,” he said. “Late in game, with the bases loaded, I was just looking for a pitch that I could at least get out to the outfield. I got ahead in the count and was looking to do damage. I was able to draw a walk out of it.”
The White Sox rallied from a four-run deficit after their starter, Michael Kopech, exited the game having faced just four hitters.
“He felt something in his hamstring,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “You could tell it affected his velocity. It was down, so we got him out of there.”
Kopech hit a batter, allowed an RBI single to Salvador Perez, and walked the bases full before leaving with left knee soreness.
“What sucks most about today is I put the team in a tough situation,” Kopech said.
Elvis Andrus drove in three runs in his third game with the White Sox. Chicago signed the veteran shortstop on Friday after the Oakland Athletics designated him for assignment.
Jose Abreu had three hits and two walks for the White Sox, who have dropped four of five since winning five straight.
Chicago stranded 11 runners, including eight from the fourth through sixth innings.
“We had chances and couldn’t break open the inning,” La Russa said. “Left a lot of guys on base. Just a very frustrating loss.”
Amir Garrett (3-1) pitched a scoreless eighth and Scott Barlow finished for his 20th save.
“The bullpen did a great job today,” Matheny said. “Those guys are on point just about every night. Amir, in a real tough spot, we needed him to come through.”
Perez snapped a three-game hitless streak (0-for-10) as the Royals batted around in the first inning, scoring four. Michael Massey and O’Hearn also had RBI hits.
The six runs were the most scored by the Royals since Aug. 10. Kansas City batted .167 while losing six of seven on the road last week, totaling 10 runs.
Chicago batted around in the fourth, capped by Andrus’ two-run single, cutting Kansas City’s lead to 4-3.
Andrus then tied the game with an RBI double in the seventh.
TRAINER’S ROOM
After batting in the second, Royals 1B Vinnie Pasquantino left the game with right shoulder discomfort.
TRANSACTIONS
The Royals optioned OF Nate Eaton to Omaha to make room for Waters.
UP NEXT
White Sox RHP Dylan Cease (12-5, 2.09 ERA) takes the mound in Baltimore opposite RHP Austin Voth (3-1, 4.86).
The Royals begin a two-game set against Arizona, with RHP Zach Davies (2-4, 3.99) facing off with RHP Jonathan Heasley (6-4, 3.27).

Mexico to protest to U.N. over missing COVAX vaccines
Adds complaint details, Mexican president's comments
MEXICO CITY, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Mexico will file a complaint to the United Nations over the failure to deliver vaccines against COVID-19 that the government bought under a program backed by the World Health Organization (WHO), President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Monday.
Mexico was owed $75 million, Lopez Obrador said, for COVID-19 vaccines meant to be supplied under COVAX, which was established by WHO during the pandemic to help distribute vaccines equitably across the world.
"We're going to file a complaint because they haven't delivered vaccines from the body created in the U.N.," the president told a regular news conference, saying Mexico had paid for the vaccines upfront about a year ago.
"We've been trying to reach agreement, we've been tolerant since we're dealing with an international body," he added.
Mexico ordered more than 51.5 million doses via COVAX, but according to a U.N. website tracking vaccine deliveries, the country has so far received only 24.6 million doses.
Wealthy nations last year snapped up most initial shots to inoculate their own citizens first, prompting complaints from countries including Mexico about unfair distribution.
Lopez Obrador earlier this year said the missing doses were hampering Mexico's ability to inoculate children against COVID-19. Health experts say that slower roll-outs could allow the coronavirus to mutate again and potentially create new variants.

Bremerton WestSound Symphony coming to the Kitsap County Fair
The Bremerton WestSound Symphony will perform for the first time at the Kitsap County Fair on Sunday, August 28 at 1:30 p.m., with internationally acclaimed soloist Yesong Sophie Lee. Lee will perform the great Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, a work that has been a favorite of audiences and violinists from Jascha Heifetz to Joshua Bell. The concerto is by turns lyrical, passionate, heroic, and full of dazzling violin pyrotechnics and driving energy. This is probably Tchaikovsky’s most performed work, following The Nutcracker.
Also performing at the fair will be our Youth Jazz Ensemble, at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26 under the direction of Mr. Derick Polk, and Simply Brass, at noon on Saturday, Aug. 27.

Manchester United produced a brave display to defeat Liverpool and give manager Erik ten Hag his first Premier League victory at a thunderous Old Trafford.
Ten Hag took the bold decision to drop captain Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo and was rewarded with a performance that lifted the mood of crisis around Manchester United and leave Liverpool still searching for a first win of the season.
Jadon Sancho showed superb control and composure to deservedly put United in front after 16 minutes before Marcus Rashford raced clear to beat Alisson from substitute Anthony Martial’s pass eight minutes after the interval.
Mo Salah set up a tense finish when he scrambled in a header with nine minutes left but United survived to move off the bottom of the table. | https://olisa.tv/united-beat-liverpool-for-first-win-of-the-season/ | 2022-08-23T00:24:03Z | https://olisa.tv/united-beat-liverpool-for-first-win-of-the-season/ | false | null |

CHICAGO (AP) — A mother whose daughter prosecutors say R. Kelly sexually abused starting when she was 14 told jurors Monday at the singer’s federal trial that she lied to a state grand jury 20 years ago, in part because she and her husband felt threatened by Kelly and feared for their lives if they told the truth.
The mom, who used the pseudonym, “Susan,” in court at the trial in Chicago, described how she, her husband and Kelly were crying when the parents confronted the Grammy-winner at a hotel in the early 2000s about whether he was abusing their daughter. She testified they were startled when Kelly told them, “You are with us or against us.”
She said she took those words to mean “that they were going to harm us if we didn’t do what they wanted us to do.” Among the directives from Kelly and an associate was that they had to lie that their daughter was not in a child pornography video and that they had to leave the country immediately for several weeks, she testified.
“We were very, very frightened,” she told jurors.
She added later that she lied to the grand jury “because we feared for our lives and we were intimidated.” She said she also feared for the well-being of her daughter, who warned her parents at the time that she might commit suicide if they refused to do what Kelly asked them to do.
Kelly, 55, is on trial in his hometown on charges that include production of child pornography, enticing minor girls for sex and obstruction justice by successfully rigging his 2008 child pornography trial in state court, at which he was acquitted.
Kelly is already staring at a 30-year prison sentence imposed by a federal judge in New York in June for his 2021 convictions on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Susan’s daughter, who went by the pseudonym “Jane,” was among the prosecution’s first witnesses as the trial began last week. Jane told jurors that she also lied to the same grand jury prior to 2008 trial when she said she was not the 14-year-old girl in a video with Kelly. Jane, now 37, told jurors last week that, in fact, she had been sexually abused hundreds of times by Kelly before she had turned at 18.
On Monday, in an often contentious cross-examination, Kelly attorney Jennifer Bonjean repeatedly questioned Susan about whether she truly felt her life was in any danger from Kelly or his associates.
“No one actually threatened you, did they?” Bonjean asked.
“Yes, they did,” Susan answered.
Bonjean also asked why, if Susan felt so threatened by Kelly, she and her family continued to mix with Kelly socially for the next 20 years. She answered that Kelly was their sole income for a period, paying her musician husband to work on Kelly recordings. She also said she worried about Jane’s welfare if they cut ties with Kelly.
The husband, Jane’s father, died last year, she told jurors.
During her cross, Bonjean highlighted Susan’s testimony that she lied to the Illinois grand jury, asking if she was “telling the truth now.” Susan said she was.
Prosecutors from the Cook County state’s attorney’s office chose in the mid-2000s to push ahead with charges and to take the case to trial in 2008 despite what they knew was a major hurdle: their inability to call the girl in the video to testify.
After acquitting Kelly in the 2008 trial, some jurors told reporters that that they had no choice but to find Kelly not guilty because the girl — who by then was in her 20s — did not take the witness stand to confirm it was, in fact, her in the video.
Federal prosecutors at the current trial played excerpts of that and other videos they say show Kelly when he was around 30 sexually abusing a 14-year-old Jane.
Kelly has been trailed for decades by allegations about his sexual behavior. The scrutiny intensified during the #MeToo era and following the 2019 release of the Lifetime television docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly.”

A 45-year-old Kelowna man died when he crashed his motorcycle on Saturday, police say.
The motorcycle veered off the 2100 block of Horizon Drive in West Kelowna and struck a tree about 5:30 p.m.
The unidentified motorcyclist, who was thrown down a steep embankment, was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Speed is considered a major fact in this crash, which is still under investigation,” Kelowna RCMP Const. Mike Della-Paolera said in a Monday release. | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/article_b93185ce-226e-11ed-ac07-7bad155d94fa.html | 2022-08-23T00:26:14Z | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/article_b93185ce-226e-11ed-ac07-7bad155d94fa.html | true | null |
Top Stock Reports for Mastercard, Cisco & PayPal
Monday, August 22, 2022
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Mastercard Inc. (MA), Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) and PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL). These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
You can see all of today’s research reports here >>>
Mastercard shares have outperformed the Zacks Financial Transaction Services industry over the past three-month period (+1.7% vs. +0.9%). The Zacks analyst believes that the company’s profit levels are rising thanks to increasing consumer spending. Numerous acquisitions are helping it to grow addressable markets and drive new revenue streams.
The COVID-19 crisis accelerated the use of electronic payments with much greater adoption of digital and contactless solutions. The situation provides an opportunity for Mastercard's business to expedite its shift to digital mode.
The company is well-poised to gain from steady cash-generating abilities. A strong capital position allows the firm to pursue acquisitions and deploy capital. However, steep operating expenses might stress margins. High rebates and incentives may weigh on net revenues.
(You can read the full research report on Mastercard here >>>)
Cisco shares have declined -23.0% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Computer - Networking industry’s decline of -23.2%. The Zacks analyst believes that Cisco is suffering from the disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine and COVID related lockdowns in China. The lockdowns resulted in severe shortage of components that hurt Cisco’s ability to ship products to customers.
Management cautioned that component shortages and ongoing supply chain issues are expected to persist in the rest of fiscal 2022 and bump up costs. This is likely to dent revenues and margin expansion.
Nevertheless, Cisco’s performance is expected to benefit from strength in its product portfolio, customer segments and momentum in product order growth. It is benefiting from healthy uptake of identity and access, advanced threat and unified threat management security solutions amid high growth in Internet traffic. The buyout of Acacia Communications bodes well for the long haul.

PayPal shares have underperformed the Zacks Internet - Software industry over the year-to-date period (-48.8% vs. -46.7%). The Zacks analyst believes that intensifying competition in the digital payment market poses a serious risk to the company’s market position. Further, sluggishness in international market is a concern. Foreign exchange headwinds remain risks.
Nonetheless, the company’s second quarter results were driven by strong growth in total payments volume owing to increasing net new active accounts. Strengthening customer engagement was a positive. Also, strong performance by Venmo contributed well to the TPV growth. We believe growing transaction revenues are likely to continue driving the top-line growth.

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) has formally announced its opposition to California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed climate goals for 2030 and 2045.
"Governor Newsom's recently announced new set of climate goals present a significant threat to the homebuilding industry and collective effort to help the tens of thousands of people who want to buy a home in California," said BIASC CEO Jeff Montejano. "While the homebuilding industry supports reasonable and realistic laws to protect our environment, the new climate goals are both unrealistic and unachievable."
If approved, the new set of climate goals would result in the equivalent of adding a minimum of $50,000 to the price of every home in California. In addition, NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) opponents will use the new mandates to delay, deny, or block desperately needed housing projects. It will also make it impossible for local municipalities to achieve their state-required RHNA housing goals, including the overall state goal of 2.5 million new homes over the next eight-year RHNA cycle
The California Environmental Quality Act requires Greenhouse Gas emission goals, policies, and plans adopted at the statewide level to apply to projects. Although they are proposed as far-off aspirational goals for housing, these mandates become immediate starting in 2023.
Due to the extremely negative effect that the proposed climate goals will have on the effort to end California's housing crisis, BIASC strongly urges Governor Newsom to withdraw his current proposal and work with the homebuilding industry in crafting aggressive but achievable environmental standards for new development and housing.
The Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) is the voice of the region's building industry, with four chapters offering localized services to building professionals from Ventura to the southern tip of Orange County. Throughout its 99-year history, the association has served its builder and associate members by anticipating, protecting, and promoting their common interests through its many programs, services, councils, and committees.

Zijin restarting production at Colombia gold mine after blockade
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BOGOTA, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Zijin Mining (601899.SS) is restarting normal production at its Colombia gold mine, a spokesperson said on Monday, after people from the surrounding community ended more than a week of road blockades.
The blockades were set up near the mine in Buritica municipality, in Antioquia province, on Aug. 12 as community members demanded a rescue mission to find informal miners allegedly trapped in a tunnel.
Despite several rescue missions, no bodies were handed over to authorities, but the town's mayor has said two miners are believed to have died. The blockade was lifted on Sunday. read more

Normal work was being restarted, a Zijin spokesperson said in a message to Reuters, though they did not have information on when the mine would be back at full production.
Thousands of wildcat miners work in sometimes-deadly conditions in dozens of informal tunnels in Buritica, including many within or adjoining Zijin's concession.
The activities, controlled by the Clan del Golfo crime gang, are a safety issue for the surrounding community and affect Zijin's output, a Reuters investigation last year showed.
Zijin produced 196,493 ounces of gold last year and 294,581 of silver, according to its website.

KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. — Kershaw County School District elementary playgrounds and walking areas are now accessible for those in the public.
Elizabeth Starling, coordinator for nursing services at the district says, "For our elementary schools, our parking lots and playgrounds, and that will open it up to families in those communities for those who may not have access to a gym."
Starling says allowing students to have access to swings and slides is beneficial to their growth.
"We know being physically active increases concentration in a classroom setting, and it increases attendance, and it just makes you feel better," Starling said. "So, these children who are more physically active do tend to be better learners in the classroom setting. It also helps with behavior and discipline, so we're hoping that by encouraging more activity in our communities, it will get the families involved, which will filter down into the children and the classroom."
The district hopes this will also bridge the gap for those in some of the more rural communities that don't have a nearby public park.
"We have some areas in our county where they don't have parks accessible to them but there may be an elementary school playground there so this opens that up for those who might not be able to get to a park."
Shawn Putnam is the co-chair for the Kershaw County Chapter of Wholespire, a nonprofit that provides communities with proven and sustainable approaches that lead to increased access to healthy choices for all people.
Putnam, said they've been pushing for this for 10 years
"We've been trying to work with the school district to get access to exercise opportunities playgrounds, those kinds of facilities," Putnam said. " We find that people are more willing and likely to get out and exercise if they have a safe place to do."
The district said law enforcement will regularly patrol these areas, and all children who come to the park must be with someone 14 years or older, and no pets are allowed.
The grounds will be open after school and on weekends. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/street-squad/kershaw-county-school-opening-elementary-playgrounds/101-eba38384-30a7-44eb-9565-819dd462cb3b | 2022-08-23T01:00:02Z | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/street-squad/kershaw-county-school-opening-elementary-playgrounds/101-eba38384-30a7-44eb-9565-819dd462cb3b | true | 1 |

Abstract
This study alms at the automatic understanding of pedestrians' car-hailing intention in traffic scenes. Traffic scenes are highly complex, with a completely random spatial distribution of pedestrians. Different pedestrians use different behavior to express car-hailing intention, making it difficult to accurately understand the intention of pedestrians for autonomous taxis in complex scenes. A novel intention recognition algorithm with interpretability is proposed in this paper to solve the above problems. Firstly, we employ OpenPose to obtain skeleton data and the facial region. Then, we input the facial region into a facial attention network to extract the facial attention features and infer whether the pedestrian is paying attention to the ego-vehicle. In addition, the skeleton data are also input into a random forest classifier and GCN to extract both explicit and implicit pose features. Finally, an interpretable fusion rule is proposed to fuse the facial and pose features. The fusion algorithm can accurately and stably infer the pedestrians' intention and identify pedestrians with car-hailing intentions. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we collected road videos using experimental cars to obtain suitable datasets, and established the corresponding evaluation benchmarks. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high accuracy and robustness.

Yasmin Brunet let the dogs out on the Folha De S. Paulo newspaper when she came across an article that was attributed to Gabriel Medina’s ex, a surfer with whom she lived a one-year relationship, between 2021 and 2022. The model, who in this weekend became a topic on the internet after appearing in a video kissing Enzo Celulari, claimed lack of respect and professionalism of the press that did not refer to her by name.
“Absurd lack of respect and professionalism. Like every human being, I have a name and I’ve never been known as someone’s ex. I hope that when this journalist signs the article, it starts with: article made by someone’s ex”, rejected Yasmin in a comment published on the profile of the newspaper imprenso, on Twitter.

According to the Gossip do Dia profile, Yasmin and Celulari were at an event in São Paulo, on Saturday night (20/8). She, as is known, has been single since the end of her relationship with Medina, in January of this year, a relationship that suffered several interferences from her mother-in-law and ended in a troubled way. Since then, she has been identified as an affair for João Guilherme, Neymar, Xamã and Nicolas Prates.
Enzo, on the other hand, has been single since last year, after breaking up with Bruna Marquezine. In a recent outburst on social media, Yasmin complained that no one “reaches her”. “Me wanting to live a romance, but no one comes to me when I go out… guys, it can come”, commented the model on Twitter.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — DDA Multnomah County grand jury has ordered Walmart to pay $4.4 million in damages to a man who sued the store, saying he was racially profiled and harassed by a Walmart employee at a Portland, Oregon, area store in 2020.
According to the lawsuit the employee “spied” on Dovey
Mangum while shopping, ordered him to leave and called police when he refused, KGW reported.
According to the lawsuit and a news release from his attorneys, Mangum, who was 59 at the time, visited the Walmart in Wood Village on March 26, 2020, to buy a light bulb for his refrigerator. After Mangum arrived, he noticed store employee Joe Williams watching him as he shopped.
Williams told Mangum to leave the store, but Mangum refused, saying he’d done nothing wrong. Mangum’s lawyers said Williams told Mangum he was going to call the police and tell them Mangum had threatened to “smash him in the face.”
Williams called the non-emergency police dispatch line and told the operator he “had a person refusing to leave,” the lawsuit states.
According to Mangum’s lawyers, deputies from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office responded and “refused to take action against Mangum.” The lawyers said deputies made that decision based on Williams’ “shifting explanations” for the reason he called and because of his “reputation for making false reports to police.”
According to Mangum’s lawyers, the next day, Sheriff’s Sergeant Bryan White and another deputy met with the director of the Walmart and the assistant manager and explained that deputies had noticed a “pattern of behavior” in which Williams would call police to report “dangerous active situations, such as customers physically assaulting him or other employees,” that were not happening.
The store and Walmart corporate officials kept him on the job for several more months. and fired him in July 2020 for “mishandling $35 of Walmart property,” the lawsuit said.
Williams in a deposition denied the allegations that he wrongly called the police, saying Mangum had threatened to hit him.
Mangum filed the lawsuit against Walmart for negligent retention and action against person who summons police with improper intent.
“He lives the same message of self-respect that he teaches to young people, ‘stand up for yourself when you know you’re right,’” Mangum’s trial lawyer, Greg Kafoury, said in a statement. “Because of his courage, we were able to show the jury an unconscionable failure of responsibility by the world’s largest corporation.”
Walmart spokesperson Randy Hargrove called into question some of the claims and said Walmart considers the verdict “excessive.”
“We do not tolerate discrimination. We believe the verdict is excessive and is not supported by the evidence,” Hargrove said in a statement to the news outlet.
He said Mangum interfered with Walmart associates as they were surveilling and stopping confirmed shoplifters, and then refused to leave despite being asked to repeatedly.
"We are reviewing our options including post-trial motions, he said. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Walmart-ordered-to-pay-Oregon-man-4-4M-for-17390829.php | 2022-08-23T01:08:45Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Walmart-ordered-to-pay-Oregon-man-4-4M-for-17390829.php | true | 37 |

It is plain silly to continue doing something over and over again and hoping the result will be different. Einstein reputedly said it was the definition of insanity.
So why then, for more than 20 years, have Australian governments thought the solution to "skills shortages" has been to ramp up immigration? It began in 1999 when the Howard government more than doubled immigration from around 70,000 to 160,000 or 200,000 a year to meet "skills shortages". And still, 23 years later, we l have "skills shortages".
Advertisement
Has anyone stopped to consider, after 24 years of ramped-up immigration to meet "skills shortages", the higher immigration does not solve skills shortages, but in fact causes them?
Since 1998 we have brought in 4 million people and still we have "skills shortages".
Surely, if we continue doing the same thing, we will get the same result: more "skills shortages".
But no doubt next month's jobs summit will pour more of the same snake oil over the fire of population pressure.
Why can't business be honest and tell us they just want more cheap labour to keep wages down in areas like retail and hospitality? Why can't government be honest and tell us that to the extent we cannot find enough doctors, nurses and teachers, it is not because of a skills shortage but a pay and conditions shortage?
Both are slowly being caught out.
READ MORE:
Last week business inadvertently made a major admission. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar, in an address to the National Press Club, condemned any idea of raising the salary floor for temporary skilled visas from $53,000 per year.
But the $53,000 floor is only 25 per cent above the minimum wage. This is not bringing in skills. It is bringing in cheap labour.
Even a floor of $90,000 per year would be less than the average wage. Surely, truly highly-skilled people would need more than the average wage to be attracted?
But we are not really attracting skills. We are attracting people who are semi-skilled at best, and whose skills can be taught to people already here fairly easily. But business does not want to do this because they would have to pay more.
The trouble is, once these semi-skilled people come in, they increase the demand for scarce highly-skilled people to educate their children, engineer new infrastructure, and give them medical services.
McKellar said lifting the floor to $90,000 would "kill the immigration program overnight".
This is a damning admission. The average wage is $92,000. So, McKellar's prediction suggests the only people who would come to Australia under a skills program would be those earning less than the average wage. In short, dragging the average wage down, not lifting it up.
What about the "shortage" of doctors? Well, Australia has more medical graduates per 1000 people per year than Sweden, Germany, the UK, the US, New Zealand and virtually every comparable country.
Advertisement
The trouble is far fewer of them are going into general practice for a simple reason: it pays badly. The trend started in the late 1990s when the Howard government started to undermine Medicare. In the past 10 years the number going in to private practice has fallen 40 per cent.
The Hawke-Keating governments, on the other hand, increased the rebate for GP consultation from just over $8 when Medicare began in 1984 to $24 when it lost office in 1996. It kept up with health-price inflation.
Medicare was so good people were leaving private insurance in droves. The private insurers turned to Howard, who legislated various measures and penalties to attract and keep people in private insurance while at the same time white-anting Medicare.
In the 26 years from 1996 to 2022, the rebate for a consultation went up from $24.50 to just $39.75. GPs' incomes were and are being squeezed. To get a decent return on all of their training, skills and long working weeks, more are finding they cannot possibly bulk-bill.
The shortage of doctors (mainly GPs) is not a skills shortage because we have plenty of medical graduates. It is a pay and conditions shortage.
To keep up with health-price inflation, the rebate for a consultation would have to be about $70 to $75, which is what most non-bulk-billing doctors now charge. They are not being greedy or gouging. They are doing what everyone else quite reasonably wants to do: maintain or steadily increase their income.
Advertisement
Increasing the rebate - taking away the private-insurance bribes and penalties - and increasing nurses' and other medical workers' pay would deliver a more equitable and efficient medical system in Australia than stealing medical skills from overseas.
The story is similar with education. Again, since 1996, the federal government has poured extra money into private schools and squeezed public schools. When a student enrols in a private school it now costs the federal government more than if the student had enrolled in a public school.
If the federal government gave all the money to the states to dish out, much of the problem would be solved.
It has now become a skills shortage because not many people are prepared to take up a teaching degree because of the low pay and poor conditions. But it will not be solved by higher immigration. That will only result in more students and an even greater teacher shortage. We should train our own and make it worthwhile.
As for the furphy we need higher immigration because of an ageing population, remember those people who came to Australia as immigration was ramped up in the late 1990s are now retired to approaching retirement age. That ramping has made the problem worse, not better.

The danger with next month's jobs summit is that all the usual suspects will ply their usual self-interested snake-oil remedies which the government will swallow to the detriment of the people who do not have a seat at the summit: those whose lives are made worse by high population - waiting for a medical appointment; sitting in congested traffic; cut out of housing; or with children in teacherless classes.
It will not address the fundamental problem: government tax and other policies which have caused capital and profits to grab an ever-greater share of Australian wealth at the expense of the share going to labour and government services and income support.
And bringing in more cheap labour will only make it worse.

TWO men were murdered on Monday morning in separate instances in Maloney and Caroni, taking the murder toll for the year to 375.
At this time last year, there were 236 murders.
In the most recent of the two, 33-year-old Keith Balramsingh of Jonathan Trace, Cunupia, died after he was shot when he went to move his vehicle.
Police said Balramsingh was at Kamachie’s Bar, along the South Trunk Road, Kelly Village, around 2 am, when he was asked to move his vehicle, a grey Kia Sportage, which was blocking another vehicle in the carpark.
Police said while in the driver’s seat, Balramsingh’s killers opened fire hitting him in the upper body. He was found slumped over on the front passenger seat and taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex where he was pronounced dead at 2.20 am.
About an hour before Balramsingh was murdered, Maloney PH taxi driver Damien “Brainy” Danclair was gunned down while liming.
Police said at about 1.20am Danclair, 39, of Building Seven, Maloney Gardens, was in the carpark along with others, when he was shot. Residents reported hearing gunshots and later found Danclair on the ground bleeding.
He was taken to the Arima District Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
On Newsday’s Facebook page on Monday, a friend of Danclair wrote that his murder was heart-breaking.
“This is so heartbreaking. Brainy you were loved and will always be in our hearts. Such a selfless soul, with the most contagious smile and laugh. The heavens weep.”
Police said Danclair was not known to be involved in any criminal activities and like Balramsingh, they had no immediate motive for his killing. | https://trinidadtribune.com/two-men-killed-in-separate-shootings/ | 2022-08-23T01:25:41Z | https://trinidadtribune.com/two-men-killed-in-separate-shootings/ | true | 2 |

Singapore Will Continue to Restrict LGBTQ Content, Even After Decriminalizing Same-Sex Relationships
The Singapore government announced that it will continue to restrict and classify media content with LGBTQ themes, even after its planned decriminalization of same-sex relationships.
The move to repeal a colonial-era law that criminalized sex between men was announced Sunday by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The law, Section 377A of the Penal Code, was introduced in 1938 and established a two-year jail term for “any act of gross indecency” between two men, either in public or in private.
London-based Singaporean filmmaker Anthony Chen (“Ilo Ilo,” “Wet Season”) commended the planned repeal. “Long overdue but well done Singapore,” he wrote on Twitter.

Kyari: There’s No Way Illegal Refineries Can Be Converted to Regular Facilities
•Says about 700,000bpd currently lost to Shut-ins and oil theft
Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja
The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mallam Mele Kyari, yesterday poured cold water on calls for the legalisation of artisanal illegal refineries in the Niger Delta.
Kyari, who spoke on the state-run Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) described the so-called illegal refining facilities as mere cooking pots, insisting that growing demand for their official recognition were unfounded and unscientific.
For years, there have been persistent calls on the government to recognise small artisanal refiners in the Niger Delta to boost In-country fuel supply, rather than criminalising them.
But Kyari stated that the legalisation will not work, noting instead that modular refineries should be encouraged instead of illegal bunkering and refining.
“That’s why there are licences given out for modular refineries and they can produce up to 1,000 barrels to 20,000 barrels per day. Refining is a science of its own. The cooking pots you are seeing are not refineries in any sense.
“There’s simply no way you can convert these cooking pots to legal refineries. It’s not possible. But modular refineries can be constructed and the NNPCL has a framework for supporting those who want to do modular refineries,” the GCEO stated.
Kyari stated that it is possible to make modular refineries work, which the NNPCL will support, stating that it is important for the political leadership to back such moves.
According to him, the illegal refineries have been degraded in the Niger Delta, explaining that for the host communities the new Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) sets aside some funds for them which he said will make sure the areas are carried along.
The NNPCL boss stated that several arrests had been made by the security agencies , especially for people stealing Nigeria’s oil, pointing out that the names were being kept secret for security reasons.
Kyari explained that the criminals or thieves were many , opining that whoever is involved will be arrested without exception.
“ Not every member of those communities are involved. In fact , it’s a very small minority of them and from our engagement with the communities, we know they are not happy with what is happening to the environment.
“We are joining them to get rid of the criminals, other wise it’s difficult to explain why there are hundreds of illegal refineries along the pipelines,” he said.
According to him, marine activities have subsided in the last few days, with some confidence that the results are coming in.
Kyari described oil theft in the Niger Delta as massive, stating that all the pipelines have been negatively impacted, although the country is not “helpless” in its attempt to halt the menace.
He reiterated that technology was being deployed in tackling the problem but assured that the challenge was not insurmountable.
The GCEO stressed that direct stealing of the crude oil was being carried out in the region, admitting that Nigeria was losing about 700,000 barrels per day production to theft and shutdowns.
However, he added that what is actually directly stolen may not exceed 200,000 bpd, with the rest losses traceable to breakdowns and shutdowns.
“Sometimes, we have no choice than to shut down these facilities and it leads to production losses,” he added. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/23/kyari-theres-no-way-illegal-refineries-can-be-converted-to-regular-facilities/ | 2022-08-23T01:35:12Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/23/kyari-theres-no-way-illegal-refineries-can-be-converted-to-regular-facilities/ | false | 2 |
Scott Disick got into a serious car accident over the weekend but walked away unscathed.
The reality star flipped his wide-body Lamborghini Urus on Sunday around 3 p.m. while driving through the gated community of The Oaks in Calabasas, California. Law enforcement confirmed to TMZ that no other cars were involved in the accident and Disick did not appear impaired and also did not sustain any serious injuries. It added that, while the Talentless designer did have minor cuts on his head, he refused medical attention when paramedics arrived on the scene. It's unclear what exactly caused the luxury SUV to flip over, but sources told the outlet speed seems to have played a factor, and in photos of the overturned car, it appears that the SUV also ran into a stone mailbox, which may have caused it to flip. The Lamborghini had to be towed from the scene, and no arrests were made as a result of the incident. Disick also didn't receive a citation of any kind for the accident.
Sources also confirmed to the outlet that Disick, who shares three kids with Kourtney Kardashian, was alone in the car at the time. Their children appeared to be spending the weekend with their mom; Kardashian posted a photo of herself and their youngest son, Reign, on Instagram hanging out in the pool that same day. “Happy Sunday! xo, Kourtney and Reign,” she captioned the carousel of silly photos of them soaking up some sun.
Scott Disick has been candid about how difficult it has been to make the transition from being in a relationship with the Poosh founder to just being coparents. In the premiere episode of The Kardashians in April, he said, “It was a huge adjustment losing Kourtney romantically, but now it’s becoming a huge adjustment losing her as kind of a best friend. Now we’re really just more of coparenters. I would say it’s probably one of the more difficult things in my life.”
This is also the second scare Kardashian has had to face in recent months involving someone close to her. In July her husband Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital for pancreatitis. Following his hospitalization, Barker shared on Instagram, “I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But, after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since. During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This resulted in severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.” But he added, “I am so very, very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Authorities say an Oklahoma sheriff's deputy is dead and another deputy was injured as they attempted to serve eviction papers in Oklahoma City on Monday.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said two deputies were shot "serving a lock-out order."
The department later identified Sgt. Bobby Swartz as the deputy who was killed.
The sheriff's office said the other deputy, whose identity had not been released, was in stable condition.
According to the Associated Press, one of the deputies was shot when they went to the home's back door and the other deputy was shot attempting to pull the other to safety.
The alleged suspect left the scene in a pickup truck pulling a boat, and a chase ensued, the news outlet reported.
During the chase, gunfire between the suspect and law enforcement was exchanged, but no one was struck by gunfire, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Valerie Littlejohn told the Associated Press.
The news outlet reported that the alleged suspect, whose identity had not been released, was later arrested at the entrance of Tinker Air Force Base. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-fatally-shot-while-serving-eviction-papers-officials-say | 2022-08-23T01:37:00Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-fatally-shot-while-serving-eviction-papers-officials-say | true | 22 |

US: Russia looks to step up hits on Ukraine infrastructure
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. State Department on Monday issued a security alert warning that Russia is stepping up efforts to launch strikes against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure and government facilities in the coming days.
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv urged U.S. citizens still in Ukraine to depart the country immediately.
“If you hear a loud explosion or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover,” the State Department said in its alert. “If in a home or a building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.”
The State Department issued the alert after the U.S. intelligence community on Monday declassified a finding that determined that Russia would increasingly target Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence. The official was not authorized to comment publicly about the finding and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The new intelligence comes as Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine will hit the six-month mark Wednesday, which coincides with Ukraine’s independence day from Soviet Union rule.
President Joe Biden spoke Sunday with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about concerns about shelling near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine and called for the United Nations nuclear watchdog to visit the power plant.
The official said, however, that the intelligence finding is not specifically tied to concerns about Zaporizhzhia.
The Biden administration is battling to keep western allies — and Washington — focused on maintaining pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday the “single most important thing going on in the world right now is to beat the Russians in Ukraine.”
Speaking at a luncheon event in Scott County, Kentucky, McConnell said the one fear he has is that the U.S. and others will “all kind of lose interest” as the war drags on.
“We need to stick with them,” McConnell said. “It’s important to us, and to the rest of the world, that they succeed.”

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A new natural gas discovery off Cyprus’ southern coast that is estimated to contain around 2.5 trillion cubic feet of the hydrocarbon bolsters Europe’s efforts to secure alternative energy sources, the Cypriot energy ministry said Monday, as a supply crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to trouble the continent.
The ministry said in a statement that the discovery by partners Eni of Italy and France’s Total was made at the Cronos-1 well 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the coast in 2,287 meters (7,500 feet) of water inside Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone and is the second deposit that the Eni-Total consortium has discovered there.
The consortium hasn’t provided any estimates regarding how much natural gas is contained in the initial “Calypso” field found in 2018. But Eni said in a statement Monday that the Cronos-1 discovery “can unlock additional potential in the area” and is part of the company’s “successful effort to provide further gas supply to Europe.”
The Cronos discovery brings the number of deposits found off Cyprus to four — two by Eni-Total, one by ExxonMobil and partners Qatar Petroleum estimated to hold 5-8 trillion cubic feet of gas and another by Chevron and partners Shell and Israeli NewMed Energy that contains up to 4.4 trillion cubic feet.
The Energy Ministry said the Eni-Total consortium’s drill ship Tungsten Explorer has now relocated to a new well target to “assess the quantities of gas with greater precision.”
The Cypriot government has said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine provided an additional impetus to the search for alternative fuel sources, especially after the European Union confirmed that natural gas could act as a bridge fuel until 2050 as part of the bloc’s transition to cleaner energy.
Energy Minister Natasa Pilides said the EU’s drive to wean itself off Russian gas further entrenches Cyprus’ inclusion into the 27-member bloc’s energy planning.
Pilides said the fact that the new discovery is in an area adjacent to where ExxonMobil is drilling could pave the way for cooperation with the Eni-Total consortium.
She added that the most likely scenario for getting gas to European markets remains conveying it through a pipeline to Egyptian processing plants for liquefaction and then transporting it by ship. | https://fox2now.com/business/ap-business/cyprus-says-new-gas-discovery-aids-europes-energy-search/ | 2022-08-23T01:53:22Z | https://fox2now.com/business/ap-business/cyprus-says-new-gas-discovery-aids-europes-energy-search/ | true | 35 |
(KFOR) – An Oklahoma County Sheriff’s deputy is dead and another is fighting for his life after both were shot by a suspect Monday afternoon while serving an eviction notice. The suspect, who was not named, has been taken into custody after leading authorities on a pursuit that ultimately ended near an Air Force base.
During a press conference shortly after 2:30 p.m. CT Monday, Sheriff Tommie Johnson said two deputies had been serving an eviction notice at an Oklahoma City home as part of a routine procedure by the sheriff’s office.
According to court documents obtained by Nexstar’s KFOR, the homeowner had tried to evict a family member who owed at least $1,500 in back rent. A judge granted that request within the past week.
While serving the eviction notice, deputies made contact with a person at the front door, according to Johnson. He said the deputies then went to the back door but did not explain why.
“They went around to the backdoor, and that’s when the shooting began,” Johnson said. “[The suspect] shot the first deputy. The second deputy tried to get that deputy out of the way of gunfire, and then he was struck as well.”
At least one of the two deputies was able to return fire at the suspect, Capt. Valerie Littlejohn, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, said during a separate news conference shortly after 3:30 p.m. CT at Tinker Air Force Base.
Following the shooting, authorities say the suspect fled in a pickup truck with a boat attached. Law enforcement personnel quickly located the suspect’s vehicle, not far from the scene of the shooting, and pursued him, according to Littlejohn.
Police radio traffic said officials spotted the suspect’s vehicle along I-35, and that the suspect had begun shooting out of a window at police.
“During the pursuit, the suspect was firing rounds at the officers, and we had officers returning fire at the suspect,” Littlejohn said.
Helicopter footage showed the suspect’s vehicle enter I-40, heading eastbound with about 20 law enforcement officers in pursuit. The suspect could be seen speeding and hitting multiple construction cones as he entered the construction area of I-40 near Del City.
The chase approached the area of nearby Tinker Air Force Base and authorities were able to catch up to the suspect.
The pursuit came to an end at Tinker’s entrance.
Multiple agencies then assisted in taking the suspect into custody without further incident.
Littlejohn said it is currently unknown why the suspect surrendered at Tinker.
“At this time, we don’t know why he came here – if he purposefully came here or if he took a wrong turn,” she said.
Neither the suspect nor pursuing law enforcement personnel were struck by gunfire during the pursuit on the highway, according to Littlejohn.
“It’s fortunate that none of the other officers were struck by gunfire,” she said.
A type of rifle was found in the suspect’s possession, according to Littlejohn.
Oklahoma City police will handle the investigation into the shooting.
Both deputies, who were rushed to the hospital, were alive as Sheriff Johnson held his press conference after the suspect was taken into custody. He broke down in tears as he spoke about them.
“It’s a sad day for the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office,” Johnson said. He noted that agencies from around the state were sharing their support for his office. “Law enforcement is a tight community, and I’m so thankful … they were screaming across the state for my guys.”
Aaron Brilbeck, the Public Information Officer for the Sheriff’s Office, was also in tears as he discussed the shooting. He described both deputies as seasoned members of the Sheriff’s Office.
In a 4:30 p.m. CT post to social media, the Oklahoma City Sheriff’s Office confirmed one of the deputies, Sgt. Bobby Swartz, had succumbed to his injuries.
The second deputy, who has not yet been identified, is listed as being in stable condition at OU Health in Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt called it a “heartbreaking day,” adding that “today and every day, Oklahoma stands with our law enforcement community.”
A procession of law enforcement members escorted Swartz’s body as it was being transported from OU Health to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
When asked what the community can do for the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, Brilbeck simply said “pray.” | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national-news/suspect-leads-chase-to-air-force-base-after-allegedly-shooting-oklahoma-deputies-killing-one/ | 2022-08-23T01:57:37Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national-news/suspect-leads-chase-to-air-force-base-after-allegedly-shooting-oklahoma-deputies-killing-one/ | false | 23 |
Shin Bet head Ronen Bar flew to Cairo on Sunday in an attempt to calm the crisis in relations between Egypt and Israel since the Egyptian-mediated cease-fire talks to end Operation Breaking Dawn.
Bar met with Egyptian Intelligence Minister Abbas Kamal, whose planned visit to Israel was canceled as a protest due to a misunderstanding by the Egyptians that Israel agreed to reduce its counterterrorism operations in Yehudah and Shomron in the days after the operation.
Haaretz reported that Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi understood during a phone call with Prime Minister Yair Lapid that this request was granted. However, Lapid did not pass any such instructions to the security system and just one day after the ceasefire, Israeli security forces carried out a large-scale arrest operation in Shechem.
Al-Sisi viewed this as a major provocation by Israel, and as a result, senior officials in Egypt cut off contact with Israeli officials.
In addition, as part of the cease-fire talks, the Egyptians apparently promised Islamic Jihad that they would work for the release of Islamic Jihad commander Bassem al-Saadi, whose arrest triggered Operation Breaking Dawn. However, Israel never promised to release him and did not heed the Egyptians’ request.
In fact, a military court on Sunday extended al-Saadi’s detention by five days and the military prosecution intends to file an indictment against him.
The Shin Bet refused to comment on Bar’s trip to Cairo.

Shubman Gill capped off India's tour of Zimbabwe in another excellent manner as he was adjudged the Man of the Series, for scoring 245 runs in the three ODIs, including a spectacular 130-run knock in the 3rd ODI on Tuesday. The youngster was impressive through and through not just with his bat, but in his fielding as well.
The 22-year-old had a hand in the dismissal of Sikander Raza, who scored a century to take Zimbabwe ever so close to a memorable win over India, only it didn't happen as the star batsman was dismissed.
Gill put in a stunning diving effort as he completed the catch to put an abrupt end to Raza's knock as the hosts needed 15 runs in 9 balls.
Raza tried to clear the ropes with another big hit, only he didn't get the proper connection that was needed. Gill showed excellent athleticism to complete the catch which all but dashed Zimbabwe's hopes of a victory as India eventually won the contest by 13 runs to complete yet another clean sweep.

Eni Strikes Another Significant Gas Discovery Off Cyprus
Italian oil major Eni has announced a "significant" gas discovery off the southwest coast of Cyprus, adding to the tally of new natural gas finds in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Eni reports that its Cronos-1 exploration well struck a gas column in a carbonate reservoir with "fair to excellent" properties, including more than 800 feet of net pay and intervals with "excellent" permeability. The initial estimates suggest a total field size of about 2.5 trillion cubic feet of gas, with good odds of finding more nearby.
Eni is so confident in the potential of Cronos-1 that it is studying fast-track development options to bring the field online swiftly. According to non-operating partner TotalEnergies, an additional exploration well is planned nearby. (Both Eni and Total hold a 50 percent stake in Block 6, with Eni as operator.)
Cronos-1 is the second in Cyprus' Block Six, following Eni's Calypso-1 discovery. Calypso is roughly three times as large, with reserves of about 6-8 trillion cubic feet.
Eni's Block Six is far less contentious than its lease at Block Three, which lies in a contested area claimed by both Cyprus and the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. When Eni attempted to drill in Block Three in 2018, five Turkish Navy warships blocked Eni's chartered drillship and forced it to retreat.
The natural gas potential in the Eastern Mediterranean extends across national boundaries. Eni is also the operator of the giant Zohr gas field, located just on the other side of the EEZ demarcation in Egyptian waters. Zohr is the largest gas field ever discovered in the Mediterranean, with total reserves of about 30 trillion cubic feet. Its discovery doubled Egypt's natural gas reserves overnight and restored the nation's energy independence, with enough capacity left over to export as LNG. | https://maritime-executive.com/article/eni-strikes-another-significant-gas-discovery-off-cyprus | 2022-08-23T02:14:40Z | https://maritime-executive.com/article/eni-strikes-another-significant-gas-discovery-off-cyprus | false | 1 |

When it comes to a premiership template, Collingwood do not fit the typical mould.
Of 15 important statistical measures provided by Champion Data on the home-and-away season just finished, the Magpies’ highest placing was seventh - for points from intercepts difference - highlighting their defensive pressure and ability to counter-attack.
In terms of points for and against, they are ninth and eighth respectively, which does embody the typical premiership blueprint. Melbourne were third and first respectively last year; Richmond were fifth and second respectively in 2020. Of the past 10 premiers, no team was ranked outside the top five for points conceded.
The Magpies are ranked 17th for clearance differential and 17th for contested possession differential, again not numbers generally associated with a premier. Remember, the Blues won the latter by a whopping 54 on Sunday (a record margin in defeat).
However, amid a myriad of numbers available, here’s the one which should be so precious heading into an unexpected finals campaign. The Magpies have won a season-high seven matches when trailing at three quarter-time - three more than next-best Geelong and Sydney, two clubs also firmly in the premiership hunt.
Their latest escape act came against the Blues, having trailed by four goals at the final break. This reinforced the heart and conviction the Magpies have - a never-say-die mantra that can be partially explained in data, but one that speaks more to the soul of the players, and their belief in an attacking game plan and a vision set by coach Craig McRae, who surely will be the coach of the year.
“Our group manage the moments as good as I have ever seen it. We practice that, and we review it,” McRae said.
Then there was this from the players.
“It’s probably the best I have seen in a group since I started footy,” Brayden Maynard, the Magpies’ swingman, said of the team’s belief.
“The will to win, being 20 points down, we don’t want to be there, but if we do get caught in that position, we know how to get it done.”
Added skipper Scott Pendlebury: “I feel we are pretty present in those moments, we know what we have to do.”
That comes from detailed training sessions where the Magpies split into two teams - one winning, one losing - and practice how to handle the final minutes of a close game. This is as much a mental test as it is physical, with the Magpies also using data to help their cause.
We watched in almost disbelief when the Magpies went coast to coast against Essendon, leading to Jamie Elliott’s mark and post-siren winning goal. Against the Demons, the Magpies, having rallied from 23 points down, were able to wind down the clock through clever defensive play, and forced stoppages. Against the Blues, it was run and overlap.
“There were a few moving parts to it,” McRae said of Sunday’s final-minute tactics.
Ten of their past 12 wins have been by 11 points or less, nine by seven points or less. Practice makes perfect.
Alastair Clarkson has likened McRae to four-time Golden State Warriors championship coach Steve Kerr for how both men have overcome adversity in their lives, this tenacity filtering through to their players.
Admittedly, there is an element of luck. The Blues had a 20-11 advantage in inside 50s in a mesmerising final term on Sunday, but managed only six points because of poor kicking and terrible decisions which will haunt Michael Voss and his men through the summer.
“The reality is, we have managed this as good as I have ever seen a team do it. Funnily enough, we have been in that position so many times - no other team is having to do it every week like we are,” McRae told Fox Footy.
A deeper dive into the ladder shows that while the Magpies finished fourth and have the double chance, they have a 3-5 record against their fellow top-eight finalists, with a percentage better than only the Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs. However, overall since the bye, they are 8-1, bettered only by the unbeaten Cats - their opponent in a qualifying final on Saturday week.
Many Magpie supporters, still in disbelief from the club’s record rise from 17th last season, say they are just happy to have made the finals, and any win from here is a bonus. But McRae, referring to how his Lions mentor Leigh Matthews once put it when they were part of three flags together, doesn’t see it that way.
As McRae points out, the Magpies are only three wins from what would be the club’s 16th - and potentially most unlikely - premiership.
“It’s a lot closer than it was 10 weeks ago. We will have the ability to reflect a little bit in the coming days and we’ll reset ourselves for what’s to come,” he said.
“In my time as a player, we were never the best team in the home and away, we never finished top. But you have to be the best team in the finals, and we were that. And we are aiming to do something similar.”

Capital Highlights — Farmer’s Almanac predicting a white winter
As Texas gets at least a temporary reprieve this week from the heat, with a nice round of rain blanketing much of the state, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting January will bring significant snowfall to the state.
The periodical, founded in 1818, develops its extended forecast “using a 204-year-old mathematical formula focused on sunspot activity, planet positions and tidal actions of the moon.” The almanac’s website claims its forecasts are 80% to 85% accurate.
Since the secret formula was first developed by David Young, an astronomer and mathematician who was the almanac’s first editor, only seven people have been hired to develop the weather predictions.
A meteorologist for the National Weather Service interviewed by the Austin American-Statesman casts a skeptical eye on the almanac’s methods and predictions.
“There is little to no scientific evidence that sunspot activity and the position of planets have any impact on our weather and our climate,” Keith White said. “A lot of the statements they use in terms of what they expect over the course of a season are very broad and can be applied kind of subjectively by people.”
Neither the Almanac nor the weather service are predicting another Winter Storm Uri, which resulted in the deaths of at least 246 people in Texas in February 2021.
New CEO hired for ERCOT
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which drew scathing criticism for the massive power blackouts during Uri, has a new chief executive officer. The hiring of Pablo Vegas was approved by the Public Utility Commission, which oversees ERCOT.
Vegas currently serves as executive vice president of NiSource and group president, NiSource Utilities. He succeeds interim CEO Brad Jones on Oct. 1.
After Uri, most of ERCOT’s board resigned and its CEO was terminated. A number of reforms and protective measures have been implemented since Uri, though critics question whether the grid can withstand another storm of Uri’s magnitude.
TEA releases 2022 accountability ratings
The Texas Education Agency last week released the first A-F school accountability ratings for the first time since 2019, due to two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show some improvement in grades, with 396 districts, or 33.1%, receiving an A rating. That was up from 301 getting the top grade in 2019.
Conversely, 16 districts got a failing grade, up from 14 in 2019. Among individual campuses, 2,356, or 27.9%, received the top grade, up from 1,750 in 2019. The number of campuses that received an F totaled 188, less than half the 402 schools that failed the accountability ratings in 2019. The ratings are based on three domains: student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps.
Visit TXschools.gov to find grades for all campuses and districts. Users can search for schools using an address and compare schools as well.
Norris films PSAs for IWatchTexas program
Chuck Norris, the actor best known for “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has filmed a public service announcement to publicize the IWatchTexas community reporting system. The partnership between communities and law enforcement is designed to make it easier for the public to report suspicious activity, from school safety-related threats to criminal acts or terrorism.
IWatchTexas is not designed to report emergencies, which should still be reported by calling 911. It is one of several initiatives taken after the Uvalde school shooting in May, which killed 19 students and two teachers.
In the PSA, Norris concludes by saying, “Whether it’s criminal acts, terror threats, or someone wanting to harm children, if you see something, say something, and help keep communities in the great state of Texas safe.”
Job surge continues in Texas
For the ninth consecutive month, Texas set new nonfarm employment records, with 13.513 million Texans at work.
The state has added 736,700 jobs since July 2021, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. The jobless rate is now at 4.0%, its lowest reading since February 2020 — just before the pandemic shuttered businesses across the state.
“The decrease in the unemployment rate and growth in jobs is a testament to our innovative and resilient Texas employers,” said TWC Commissioner Aaron Demerson.
The most growth was in education and health services, which gained 14,300 jobs over the month. The lowest jobless rates in metropolitan statistical areas were recorded in Amarillo and Austin-Round Rock, both at 3.1%. The highest rate among MSAs at 8% was in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission.
Anti-drunk driving campaign underway
With school underway and the Labor Day holiday approaching, the Texas Department of Transportation has launched its Drive Sober No Regrets campaign, with stepped-up law enforcement efforts to arrest drunk drivers.
The state saw more than 25,000 DUI-alcohol related traffic crashes last year, resulting in 1,100 fatalities and 2,560 serious injuries, according to TxDOT.
COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations drop
The number of COVID-19 cases during the past week in Texas dropped to 59,059, according to the Coronavirus Resource Center at Johns Hopkins University, a drop of 18.7%. The number of deaths reported stood at 223, up slightly from the previous week. The Texas Department of State Health Services reported 3,018 lab-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations as of Sunday, nearly even with last week’s count.

A Langley mother of four was threatened with a knife for trying to help a dog left inside a Jeep on a hot afternoon.
Murrayville resident Sara Rowland told the Langley Advance Times it happened on Friday, Aug. 19, in the parking lot of the Langley Walmart store.
She had just finished shopping with her four sons, Evan, 11, Eli, nine, Ethan, seven and Ender, four.
“I was walking back with my four kids to my vehicle, and I noticed a blue Jeep with Alberta plates. Someone had left he windows a quarter of the way down. I saw a Husky in the Jeep. It was a quarter after 1 in the afternoon.”

Rowland, concerned for the dog’s well-being, took down the licence plate number and went back into the store, where the customer service desk made an announcement asking for the owner of the car.
Rowland returned to the Jeep, and with the help of another person, put some bottled water in a container and passed it through the partially open Jeep window for the dog.
She said she couldn’t tell if the dog was in distress, because it turned its head away from her.
Then, the owner showed up.
“She started swearing at me,” Rowland recalled. The woman produced a folding knife.
“It was five inches, six inches longs,” Rowland estimated.
“It was a decent length.”
The woman yelled at Rowland, saying “I’m with law enforcement. Get the f___ away from my vehicle, get the f___ away from my dog.”
Rowland said this all happened in front of her kids.
“I can’t believe you pulled a knife on me,” Rowland replied, “I think I’m going to call the actual police.”
At that, the knife-wielding woman got in the Jeep and drove away.

Rowland was able to flag down a Langley RCMP officer, who took down the information and referred her to victim services.
“I would like her charged with assault with a weapon,” Rowland told the officer.
She said she didn’t feel the emotional impact of the confrontation right way.
“I think I was so worried about my kids, I was in mama bear mode.”
But the next morning it hit her, when she got up, made some coffee, and “I kind of collapsed.”
Her youngest son has been traumatized, and keeps saying “the lady with the blade is going to get us.”
Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy said anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers online at www.bccrimestoppers.com or by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
“Events such as these are very concerning,” Largy said.
“Langley RCMP will continue their investigation to identify and locate the suspect.”
