MORROW, Ga. (AP) — A specially appointed prosecutor said Tuesday that he will not pursue any charges against the Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks more than two years ago.
Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, announced that he won’t pursue charges against Garrett Rolfe, the white officer who shot and killed the 27-year-old Black man in June 2020.
Skandalakis was appointed last year to take over the case after a judge allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to recuse herself and her office. Willis had cited concerns about the actions of her predecessor, Paul Howard, who announced a murder charge against Rolfe less than a week after the shooting.
Police responded on June 12, 2020, to complaints of a man sleeping in a car in the drive-thru lane of a Wendy's restaurant. Police body camera video shows the two officers having a calm conversation with Brooks for more than 40 minutes. Then, when the officers told Brooks he'd had too much to drink to be driving and tried to arrest him, Brooks resisted in a struggle caught on dash camera video. Brooks grabbed a Taser from one of the officers and fled, firing it at Rolfe as he ran. Rolfe fired his gun, and an autopsy found that Brooks was shot twice in the back.
The two officers' lawyers have said their actions were justified and both were released on bond.
The shooting happened against the backdrop of heightened tensions and protests nationwide in wake of the death of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer in Minneapolis less than three weeks earlier.
Sometimes-violent protests over Floyd's death had largely subsided in Atlanta, but Brooks' killing set off a new round of demonstrations against police brutality. Police Chief Erika Shields resigned less than 24 hours after Brooks died. Protesters set fire to the Wendy's restaurant, which was later demolished.
Rolfe was fired a day after the shooting, but his dismissal was overturned in May 2021 by the Atlanta Civil Service Board. The board found that the city failed to follow its own procedures for disciplinary actions.
Five days after Brooks was killed, then-Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard held a dramatic news conference to announce charges against Rolfe and Brosnan. Rolfe's charges included felony murder, aggravated assault and violation of his oath. Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath.
Two months later, Howard lost the Democratic primary in his bid for reelection. Just weeks after taking office in January 2021, his successor, Fani Willis, asked Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to reassign the case.
Willis, who has since gained national attention for her investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia, cited concerns about Howard's actions.
Howard’s conduct, “including using video evidence in campaign television advertisements,” may have violated Georgia Bar rules, Willis argued in a letter to Carr. She also noted that Carr had asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into whether Howard improperly issued grand jury subpoenas in the Rolfe case. Howard has denied wrongdoing.
Noah Pines, an attorney for Rolfe, had also filed a motion to disqualify the Fulton County district attorney's office from the case.
Carr initially refused to reassign the case, but in July 2021 appointed Skandalakis to take it over after Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Christopher Brasher found there was a conflict of interest and granted a request from Willis to recuse her office. | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/national/article_32a8491a-2319-11ed-b801-4f358014c14a.html | 2022-08-23T20:07:53Z | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/national/article_32a8491a-2319-11ed-b801-4f358014c14a.html | false | 14 |

Like I don't get the logic having these provincial governments when you can't do anything to PML(N) or too afraid to do anything
PTI has failed to do anything against the Noon league or any of the PDM parties using provincial governments. PTI leaders are getting sexually assaulted but still PTI provincial governments seem disconnected to the whole issue. It feels like PTI fought to get Punjab provincial government just to make Pervez Elahi Chief Minister of Punjab
If you can't use provincial governments for your own benefit and to crush your opponents then what is the point of having those governments???

Parts of northern Texas, mired in a drought labeled as extreme and exceptional, are flooding under torrential rain. In a drought.
Sound familiar? It should. The Dallas region is just the latest drought-suffering-but-flooded locale during a summer of extreme weather whiplash, likely goosed by human-caused climate change, scientists say. Parts of the world are lurching from drought to deluge.
The St. Louis area and 88% of Kentucky early in July were considered abnormally dry and then the skies opened up, the rain poured in biblical proportions, inch after inch, and deadly flooding devastated communities. The same thing happened in Yellowstone in June. Earlier this month, Death Valley, in a severe drought, got a near record amount of rainfall in one day, causing floods, and is still in a nasty drought.
China’s Yangtze River is drying up, a year after deadly flooding. China is baking under what is a record-long heat wave, already into its third month, with a preliminary report of an overnight low temperature only dipping down to 94.8 degrees (34.9 degrees Celsius) in the heavily populated city of Chongqing. And in western China flooding from a sudden downpour has killed more than a dozen people.
In the Horn of Africa in the midst of a devastating but oft-ignored famine and drought, nearby flash floods add to the humanitarian disaster unfolding. Europe, which suffered through unprecedented flooding last year, has baked with record heat compounded by a 500-year drought that is drying up rivers and threatening power supplies.
“So we really have had a lot of whiplash,” said Kentucky’s interim climatologist Megan Schargorodski. “It is really difficult to emotionally go through all of these extremes and get through it and figure out how to be resilient through the disaster after disaster that we see.”
In just two weeks in late July and early August, the U.S. had 10 downpours that are only supposed to happen 1% of the time — sometimes called 1-in-100-year storms — calculated Weather Prediction Center forecast branch chief Greg Carbin. That’s not counting the Dallas region, a likely 1-in-1,000-year storm, where some places got more than 9 inches of rain in 24 hours ending Monday with several inches more forecast to come.
“These extremes of course are getting more extreme,” said National Center for Atmospheric Research climate scientist Gerald Meehl, who wrote some of the first studies 18 years ago about extreme weather and climate change. “This is in line with what we expected.”
Weather whiplash, “where all of a sudden it changes to the opposite’’ extreme, is becoming more noticeable because it’s so strange, said climate scientist Jennifer Francis of the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts. She is in the middle of a study of whiplash events.
The scientists at World Weather Attribution, mostly volunteers who quickly examine extreme weather for a climate change fingerprint, have a strict criteria of events to investigate: they have to be record-breaking, cause a significant number of deaths, or impact at least 1 million people. So far this year they’ve been swamped. There have been 41 events — eight floods, three storms, eight droughts, 18 heat waves and four cold waves — that have reached that threshold point, said WWA official Julie Arrighi, associate director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center.
In the United States, many of the big heavy summer rains are traditionally connected to hurricanes or tropical systems, like last year’s Hurricane Ida that smacked Louisiana and then plowed through the South until it flooded the New York, New Jersey region with record rainfall rates.
But this July and August, the nation had been hit with “an overabundance of non-tropical related extreme rainfall,” the National Weather Service’s Carbin said. “That’s unusual.”
Scientists suspect climate change is at work in two different ways.
The biggest way is simple physics. As the atmosphere warms it holds more water, 4% more for every degree (7% more for every degree Celsius), scientists said.
Think of the air as a giant sponge, said UCLA and Nature Conservancy climate scientist Daniel Swain. It soaks up more water from parched ground like a sponge “which is why we’re seeing worse droughts in some places,” he said. Then when a weather system travels further, juicy with that extra water, it has more to dump, causing downpours.
Another factor is the stuck and wavier jet stream — the atmospheric river that moves weather systems around the world — said Woodwell’s Francis. Storm systems don’t move and just dump huge amounts of water in some places. Other places, like China, are stuck with hot weather as cooler, wetter weather moves around them.
“When that jet stream pattern gets amplified, which is what we’re starting to see happen more often, then we notice more of these big whiplash events,” Francis said.
When the ground is so hard from drought, water doesn’t seep in as much and runs off faster in flood, Francis and others said.
This will only get worse as climate change worsens, so “it highlights the type of events that we need to adapt to, that we need to harden ourselves against,” said Princeton University climate scientist Gabriel Vecchi.
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasized what it called compounding weather disasters as a future threat.
“Frankly how fast and how badly it’s now playing out is a surprise to many of us,” said IPCC report co-author Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre in the Netherlands. “It’s scary how quickly it is appearing in front of our eyes.”

COOS BAY, Ore. -- A Coos Bay man has been arrested for selling phone information to unknown individuals, an act the Coos Bay Police Department says led to citizen's bank accounts being hacked into.
According to the CBPD, they responded to a call at about 1 p.m. on August 22. They said they visited an AT&T store on a report of an employee accessing customer's account information without permission. Police also allege the suspect changed information, and sold it to unknown individuals. Police say this led to some customer's bank accounts being hacked into, and money being stolen.
Coos Bay police said the suspect was identified as Alexander Keely of Coos Bay. Police said their investigation revealed Keely had accessed at least two different customer accounts in different states on multiple occasions. They also said the investigation showed that Keely changed account information and provided it to unknown people.
Police say Keely was taken to the Coos County Jail on charges of identity theft and computer crimes. CBPD says an investigation into the matter is ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call CBPD at 541-269-8911 or Coos Stop Crime at 541-267-6666. | https://www.kezi.com/news/coos-bay-man-arrested-on-identity-theft-charges/article_b6f61d80-2311-11ed-8bb0-23227c04d9ce.html | 2022-08-23T20:19:01Z | https://www.kezi.com/news/coos-bay-man-arrested-on-identity-theft-charges/article_b6f61d80-2311-11ed-8bb0-23227c04d9ce.html | false | 1 |
On Tuesday, Ukrainian politicians took to social media to offer their greetings on the National Flag day. Bukvy has collected some of those.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted Ukraine will never fly a flag of the alien colors and will keep on fighting for the yellow and blue national flam, here ‘on the ground and in heaven’.
It will soon fly where it belongs, in all the occupied cities and villages of Ukraine. It will soon come flying there again, and this time for good, added the president.
Our flag will be flown over all of the Ukraine, said Ukrainian Armed Forces’ commander-in-chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi.
Former Ukrainian president and European Solidarity party leader Petro Poroshenko called the national flag a symbol of ‘our freedom and independence’ that safeguards us.
‘With a flag in hands and Ukraine in hearts, our soldiers are fighting for our lands. Even in the temporarily occupied land it is a symbol that keeps Ukrainians inseparable.’
Batkivshchyna party leader and former Ukrainian PM Yuliya Tymoshenko said the holiday coincides with Kharkiv city day.
Yellow and blue are colors of honor, courage, freedom, and a symbol of humans’ fight for their dignity.
Tymoshenko said the last year saw the Ukrainian flag ‘traveling around the world’.
‘It was in the parliaments around the world, in opera houses, museums, and city halls… Our flag has become fashionable becoming a mark of resistance, resilience, heroism.. Let it come back with the Ukrainian armed forces to the Ukrainian lands freed from the enemy.’
Servant of the People MP Maryana Bezugla was brief in her online greeting that came with a complimentary mention of the Ukrainian president.
Former Ukrainian parliament speaker Dmytro Razumkov said the Ukrainian flag will be the attribute of Ukraine’s future victory in the war.
Meanwhile, Golos party leader Kira Rudyk said the Ukrainian flag will be flown all around where ‘freedom and liberty are the most prized’.
European Solidarity MP Oleskiy Goncharenko recounted his climbing adventure at Ai-Petri mountain in Crimea when he put up the Ukrainian flag at the mountain top. Goncharenko promises it will return to Yalta, Sevastopol, Donetsk, and Luhansk. ‘And we will win,’ added the lawmaker. | https://bykvu.com/eng/bukvy/ukrainian-leaders-extend-greetings-on-flag-day/ | 2022-08-23T20:21:28Z | https://bykvu.com/eng/bukvy/ukrainian-leaders-extend-greetings-on-flag-day/ | false | 1 |

Featuring NYPD Boxing, FDNY Boxing, National Grid and other first responders, fighting to raise money for NYC Cops and Kids, along with Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Have you ever wondered who is tougher, a cop or a firefighter? This may be your chance to find out! New York City Cops and Kids Boxing along with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced today they will be co-hosting a 6pm boxing event on Saturday, September 10th at the Ferry Hawks Ballpark in Staten Island NY. The event commemorates all first responders and the sacrifices made during 9/11.
Over the past five years, NYC Cops & Kids has served over 3,000 inner city teens, offering free fitness, mentorship, tutoring and coaching. In 2021, the program collaborated with the UFC to offer brand new equipment in their three separate gym locations. With a completely new fourth location in Jamaica Queens set to open this September 1st, 2022, many more teens are sure to be reached. These free gyms and tutoring locations are a safe haven for kids aged 12-21 after school and over the weekends, offering an attractive alternative to hanging out on the streets. "Cops and kids boxing is the best policing because real policing happens in partnership with the community" notes retired Lieutenant Dave Siev, Coach and Trainer of NYPD Boxing. Kids in this program are more likely to stay in school, graduate and become engaging, productive citizens of the city. "We get to the kids that no one else can get to. That school can't get to, cops in the streets can't get to. We can get to them through boxing," adds Founder and Executive Director Russo. The program has also produced Olympic and professional boxing champions, "If it wasn't for this gym, I would have never experienced the Olympics or signed my deal with Floyd Mayweather," noted program participant Richardson "Africa" Hitchins.
Started as a crime fighting initiative in 1987, the NYC Cops & Kids gyms provide positive opportunities for young people and police officers to work with each other, improving academic outcomes as well as mutual respect. This program builds and strengthens bonds of community understanding. "NYC Cops & Kids is the real deal. Kids are motivated to become better people, cops learn to understand and empathize with current problems these kids face, and the outcomes speak for themselves. What other program creates Olympians, outstanding citizens, and professional money making athletes, that is so low cost, servicing hundreds of kids per year with their annual budget of $150,000? It's incredible." says Julia Etra, NYC Cops & Kids Board member and donor. As this program continues to expand, its ultimate goal is to have a free gym, along with an internal tutoring center per location, in every borough of NYC.
Having touched the lives of so many people, it is time to come out and celebrate the hard work of these boxing teams. Endlessly entertaining and at the same time challenging, boxing has a hook no other sport can offer. Sponsored by and in collaboration with Ford, The United States Marine Corps, the NY Giants and USA Boxing Metro, this large scale boxing event is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Tickets for the 6pm September 10th event are available online through the website https://www.copsandkidsboxing.com/our-work or directly https://bit.ly/3boDe3x, the QR code in this release, as well as in person on the day of the event at the stadium. Premium Fight Night Experience Box Suites along with sponsorship packages are also available by emailing NYPD's Fighting Finest, nypdboxing@aol.com.
For more than 30 years, New York City Cops and Kids Boxing, a nonprofit organization, has been providing inner city teens with an alternative to the street by offering free access to fitness, mentorship, tutoring and coaching at three training locations, two in Staten Island and one in Brooklyn.

Tesla’s Full-Self-Driving (FSD) software has yet to fully live up to its name, but the company is still raising the price 25% to $15,000.
Tesla is just one of many automakers racing to develop autonomous driving capabilities, but few others have a CEO that is so open about the company’s goals and timeframes. As TheStreet points out, Musk has famously said his company would roll out fully autonomous driving capabilities by the end of the year.
In keeping with that goal, the company is deploying the latest FSD beta.
Musk also says the price will increase 25%, from $12,000 to $15,000 for North American buyers. | https://www.webpronews.com/tesla-raises-price-of-full-self-driving-software-to-15000/ | 2022-08-23T20:29:05Z | https://www.webpronews.com/tesla-raises-price-of-full-self-driving-software-to-15000/ | false | null |

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland State University violated a student’s Fourth Amendment right to privacy when he was required to use a webcam to show his bedroom before taking an online test, a federal judge in Cleveland ruled.
Matthew Besser, the attorney for student Aaron Ogletree, said that the lawsuit was filed last year to stop the university from enforcing an illegal practice aimed at preventing cheating and that Ogletree is not seeking monetary damages.
The ruling Monday by U.S. District Judge J. Philip Calabrese appears to set a precedent regarding student privacy rights, Besser said.
“Freedom from government intrusion into our homes is the very core of what the Fourth Amendment protects,” Besser said. “If there is any place where students have a reasonable expectation of privacy, it’s in their homes.”
Ogletree initially protested but scanned his room before a chemistry test, fearing he would receive a failing grade if he did not comply, Besser said.
Calabrese in his ruling ordered Besser and attorneys for Cleveland State to meet to determine what the next step in the case will be. He said in the order that Ogletree’s right to privacy “outweighs Cleveland State’s interests in scanning his room.”
Cleveland State spokesperson David Kielmeyer said Tuesday the school cannot comment on “active litigation.”
“Ensuring academic integrity is essential to our mission and will guide us as we move forward,” Kielmeyer said.
Ogletree said in the lawsuit that the COVID-19 pandemic forced him during the school’s 2021 spring semester to take classes online to protect his family members’ health.
The decision whether to require students to show their rooms before a test is left to the discretion of individual professors and is not enforced by all instructors, Ogletree said in the lawsuit. Room scans are visible to other students who are taking a test, Ogletree’s lawsuit said. | https://www.mystateline.com/news/national/judge-rules-video-scan-of-room-before-online-testing-illegal/ | 2022-08-23T20:36:59Z | https://www.mystateline.com/news/national/judge-rules-video-scan-of-room-before-online-testing-illegal/ | false | 44 |
What is the best Zarbee’s supplement?
For nearly 15 years, Zarbee’s has been committed to making natural supplements that help fight symptoms of colds, keep our digestive systems healthy, assist with sound sleeping and strengthen our immune systems.
While they make products for all ages, the brand is probably best known among parents looking for a safe alternative to cold and sinus medications for their children. For its tasty honey-based formula that is the top recommended cough syrup by pediatricians for children under 10, the best Zarbee’s supplement is Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup.
What to know before you buy a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are drug-free
Cough, throat and sinus symptoms can be aggravating. Many over-the-counter products contain alcohol and different pharmaceutical-grade drugs. Zarbee’s supplements pride themselves on being natural, using things like honey, elderberry and zinc to help treat the symptoms of common illnesses.
Zarbee’s is baby-friendly
There is a wide range of supplements made for babies. The natural ingredients and Zarbee’s commitment to not use drugs, alcohol and artificial fillers make them a favorite of parents. Zarbee’s offers cold remedies, probiotics, immune health, soothing balms and vitamins for the littlest members of your family.
Zarbee’s supports protections for bees
Zarbee’s partners with the Bee Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting bees and strengthening their environment. One-third of the world’s food relies on bee pollination. Buying Zarbee’s products helps promote bee conservancy.
What to look for in a Zarbee’s supplement
Dark honey
Zarbee’s cough and throat supplements are based with dark honey. The color of honey comes from the flower source, but dark honey is known to have higher levels of minerals and antioxidants than lighter colored honey. Honey’s stickiness is a natural soother for irritated throats. The company began with its honey-based products and continues to build the supplement line.
Allergen-free
All Zarbee’s supplements are manufactured without common allergens for dairy, eggs, wheat, fish, peanuts, soybeans, shellfish and tree nuts.
Melatonin
Zarbee’s sleep supplements use 3 milligrams of melatonin that is not habit-forming and formulated to help occasional sleeplessness without drugs.
Chamomile
Chamomile is an herb extracted from the Asteraceae plant. It is has been recognized for its calming properties. Zarbee’s incorporates chamomile into its baby balms to help calm and soothe baby’s skin and dispositions.
Agave
For its infant products, Zarbee’s uses agave for cough relief instead of honey. Honey is risky to infants and should only be used in older children as directed. Agave coats the throat like honey but research shows that it is effective only as a placebo.
Ivy leaf and thyme
Ivy leaf extract is used in Zarbee’s products that also focus on mucus reduction. Ivy leaf is believed to thin mucus similar to the drug guaifenesin in over-the-counter products.
Thyme is a herb that contains thymol, which is a natural anti-spasmodic to help with coughs. In combination with ivy leaf, this combination can be very helpful for coughs and congestion.
How much you can expect to spend on a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are priced between $6-$20 per container. The prices vary based on product category and container size. For instance, cough medicine costs $7-$8, and cough medicine with mucus treatment costs between $13-$14. Their popular elderberry immune support products cost $10-$12.
Zarbee’s supplement FAQ
Are Zarbee’s supplements drugs?
A. Zarbee’s products are considered dietary supplements by the Food and Drug Administration. That means they are not meant to prevent, diagnose, cure or treat any illness. They use natural ingredients known to have healing properties.
Is it acceptable to give children probiotics?
A. There is clinical research supporting probiotic use by children. They positively impact the immune system and may lead to improved digestive health in adulthood.
Where are Zarbee’s products sold?
A. Zarbee’s products are available at most national drugstore chains and retail stores.

Mostly cloudy skies this evening followed by thunderstorms late. Low 81F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Locally heavy rainfall possible..
Tonight
Mostly cloudy skies this evening followed by thunderstorms late. Low 81F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Locally heavy rainfall possible.
Additional showers and thunderstorms rolled across Galveston County overnight and early this morning as expected.
Fortunately, they were much more modest than the 10 inches that inundated the Dallas area on Monday, with amounts ranging from a little less than an inch over the eastern portions of Galveston Island to less than 0.10 inch over some areas on the mainland.
The main culprits for the precipitation dampening Texas are a slow-moving cold front boundary, a low- to mid-level low moving east across northeast Texas today, and deep tropical moisture and an unstable atmosphere. For today, the bulk of heavy rain will be off to our east and northeast with flash flooding possible across far East Texas and Louisiana:
Looking ahead, these elements will keep a good chance for showers and thunderstorms through most of this week, with rainfall potential remaining elevated through this coming weekend and into early next week as a weak trough develops near the Texas coast Friday with unsettled weather persisting well into next week with another 2-4 inches possible in Galveston County over the coming seven days.
Friday surface map forecast:
Seven Day precipitation total outlook:
Finally, a couple of disturbances in the far eastern Tropical Atlantic are given a low — 10 percent to 20 percent — chance of developing over the coming five days. So far, most models are projecting that these systems will curve to the northwest over time, keeping them out of the Caribbean Sea.
Still, with the peak of the season coming, it will be worthwhile to keep monitoring their progress as well as watching out for any “homegrown” tropical features that could develop in the Gulf of Mexico or the northwest Caribbean Sea.

Gamescom 2022 is home to several amazing video game reveals, including Neowiz’s Lies of P. Developed in-house by Neowiz, the video game company revealed that a demo will be up for attendees during Gamescom. Over two hours of gameplay will be available across two stages at the Xbox booth.
Lies of P was inspired by the original story of Pinocchio and is an action RPG Soulslike game set in a dark Belle Epoque world. Over the course of the game, players will work on helping Pinocchio on his journey to becoming human, doing whatever it takes to evolve from his wooden existence.
Gamescom 2022 trailer reveals more about the Lies of P
While Soulslike games are nothing new, Lies of P has twisted the genre into something innovative. Neowiz’s upcoming Soulslike title will have players controlling Pinocchio himself. They will wake up in Krat, a city consumed by violence and carnage. Embracing Pinocchio’s goal to become human, players will have to slaughter their way to Geppetto.
The game aims to depict a gripping story, filled with tension, and a deep combat system. During Gamescom 2022, Lies of P showcased several gruesome scenes as Pinocchio swaps body parts to gain new skills and advantages.
In the game, Pinocchio was shown to have a wide variety of parts he could equip, such as an arm cannon and several huge, highly detailed weapons. The trailer shows off a great deal of the world players will explore, along with the various mechanical foes they will battle.
The Gamescom 2022 trailer showcased wicked shovels, saws and blades, all formed into weapons of destruction. Even better, players can combine weapons to create new, terrifying instruments of destruction.

Chelsea have had a third bid for Wesley Fofana potentially worth about £70m rejected by Leicester City and indicated they are willing to pay up to £60m to secure Anthony Gordon from Everton.
Thomas Tuchel has made Fofana his No 1 defensive target and Chelsea could return with a fourth offer before the teams meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Fofana was dropped for Leicester’s defeat by Southampton last Saturday, after which Rodgers conceded the player was “not quite in the right frame of mind” to feature.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have reopened negotiations with Everton regarding Gordon after their offer of around £45m was rejected last week. It is understood they are willing to pay up to £60m including significant add-ons for the England under‑21 international, although Frank Lampard is a huge admirer of the boyhood Evertonian, as a player and a personality, and wants to build around Gordon rather than cash in on the academy graduate.
Fofana, who has communicated his desire to depart for Chelsea, missed a training session last week and trained alone on another day.
“The club has invested in him and in his time here he’s been absolutely brilliant,” Rodgers said.
“But you have to set a standard of behaviour and if it’s not quite right and your focus isn’t right, that only hurts your teammate.”
Chelsea are in talks with Internazionale over a loan move for the centre‑back Trevoh Chalobah while Spezia have asked for Ethan Ampadu on loan.
Fofana has been a revelation since joining from St‑Étienne in a £36.5m deal two years ago, though his impact was limited last season after fracturing his leg in pre-season. Leicester are demanding a larger fee than they received for Harry Maguire, who was sold to Manchester United for £80m. Rodgers said last weekend: “I’ve been in these situations beforeMy experience helps in these moments.” Leicester’s only recent signing has been goalkeeper Alex Smithies, a free agent after leaving Cardiff. Rodgers had numerous signings lined up this summer but has been unable to make additions as the club attempt to balance the books. Leicester have a bloated squad and hoped to offload fringe players such as Jannik Vestergaard and Boubakary Soumare, both of whom joined the club last summer, in order to fund new signings given financial fair play caps. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40946378.html | 2022-08-23T20:47:08Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40946378.html | false | 3 |

Tenessa Nikirk has been granted full parole.
Nikirk is serving a two-year sentence from December 2020 for dangerous driving causing bodily harm after striking Saanich girl Leila Bui in a crosswalk. The court also imposed a three-year driving ban.
On Dec. 20, 2017, Bui, then 11, was walking to school when she was struck by a Mercedes SUV driven by Nikirk while in a crosswalk on Ash Road at Torquay Drive. Bui was thrown roughly 25 metres before she was wedged beneath another car stopped some distance from the crosswalk.
A trial later found that Nikirk was driving erratically and had sent and received several texts in the moments before she struck Bui.
Bui was kept in an induced coma for several weeks after the crash and has since remained in a non-responsive state, requiring constant care.
Nikirk was released on bail for a year, pending an appeal of that December 2020 sentence, which was dismissed in January and she returned to custody.

In a decision dated Aug. 19, the Parole Board of Canada reviewed Nikirk’s past driving history, which included a complaint from October 2017 of an aggressive driver tailgating in a vehicle registered to Nikirk. Her file also showed three prior tickets for speeding and four unpaid fines related to administrative suspensions. She also received a speeding ticket in July 2019, after hitting Bui.
After reviewing her previous driving history, the board noted Nikirk had been compliant with all conditions while on bail. Since returning to custody, Nikirk’s parole officer noted during the hearing there have been no concerns with her behaviour in the institution and she has made gains through programs and counselling.
In the decision, the board found Nikirk was “incredibly remorseful and traumatized by the collision” and that she “demonstrates a high level of remorse for the victim.”
While the board considered granting day parole, it did not believe Nikirk needed the additional structure, support and monitoring of a halfway house and that full parole would be a better option.
“The board recognizes that your offence caused catastrophic and life-changing injury to a young girl and altered the course of her family’s life forever. The extent of the harm you caused cannot be overstated. However, the board’s role is not punitive. The board must follow the law, which is to make the least restrictive determination consistent with the protection of society,” read the decision.
Conditions imposed on her parole include attending regular sessions with a mental health professional, no direct or indirect contact with the victim or her family members unless approved by a parole officer, and not to operate a motor vehicle or occupy the driver’s seat of any motor vehicle.

Tuesday’s ruling by Malaysia’s highest court upholding Najib Razak’s 12-year prison term for corruption in the 1MDB financial scandal was criticised by observers as potentially closing the door to a political comeback.
A warrant of committal was also issued by Chief Justice Maimun Tuan Mat, according to a lawyer, which indicates that Najib will be arrested right away.
As the decision was announced, the 69-year-old former prime minister was flanked by his wife Rosmah and their two children and appeared solemn and disappointed.
“We determine that the appeal has no merit. On behalf of a five-judge Federal Court panel, Maimun stated, “We deem the verdict and sentence to be safe.We all agree that the evidence presented throughout the trial clearly shows guilt on each of the seven charges.
According to Maimun, it would have been “a mockery of justice of the greatest order” for any reasonable tribunal to find the appellant innocent of the seven accusations brought against him in the face of such evidence.
Sankara Nair, a lawyer who is not associated with the case, “Najib will be brought to prison immediately” when the court issues a warrant of committal.
The Federal Court’s ruling came after the tribunal rejected Najib’s attorneys’ last-minute request to have the top justice withdraw herself from the case due to perceived bias on her behalf. | https://dailythepatriot.com/malaysias-top-court-affirms-najibs-prison-term-for-the-1mdb-affair/ | 2022-08-23T20:53:30Z | https://dailythepatriot.com/malaysias-top-court-affirms-najibs-prison-term-for-the-1mdb-affair/ | true | 1 |
Kauffman Foundation, Google.org, The Coca-Cola Company,
Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Grants
Earmarked for Aspen City Action Lab to Accelerate Success for Latino Businesses
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aspen Institute Latinos & Society Program (AILAS) announced today it has garnered grants totaling nearly $1.7 million from prestigious partners dedicated to advancing prosperity for under-served business and entrepreneurial communities. Specifically earmarked for the Aspen City Action Lab, the grants included $600,000 from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, $500,000 from Google.org, $375,000 from The Coca-Cola Company and a $100,000 each from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
"Latinos are launching companies at a faster rate than other groups and accounted for 52% of net job growth in the past decade. This success occurred despite many having little formal business education, nor access to capital and supportive networks enjoyed by other demographics," says AILAS Executive Director Domenika Lynch. "The support of the Kauffman Foundation, Google.org, the Coca-Cola Company, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the U.S. Hispanic of Chamber will make a real difference in helping the City Action Lab unleash the full dynamism of this underserved sector of our nation. The resulting growth will help boost our entire economy."
The Aspen City Action Lab unites Latino small businesses with local entrepreneurial and civic leaders to spur economic growth and share ways to expand business opportunities. The object is to close a wealth and opportunity gap that widened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Issues addressed include how to access private capital, apply for public funding, and leverage digital technology to expand the customer base.
The Aspen City Action Lab launched as a pilot program in 2021 with communities in Chicago; El Paso, Texas; Miami; Phoenix; San Antonio; and San Bernardino, Calif. This innovative initiative is aiding Latino-majority cities in generating long-term, inclusive economic growth through data-driven, community-informed approaches. Having built partnerships with more than 70 cross-sector leaders in these cities, City Action Lab is also building nationwide networks so that more cities can be added when the pilot phase concludes.
The award from the Kauffman Foundation, an organization committed to advancing educational achievement and entrepreneurial success, bolsters efforts to systematize the program's design so that it can benefit future cohorts of participating cities. The funding will also help support the annual Aspen Latino Business & Entrepreneurship Summit, which assembles public and private-sector leaders to uplift policies, practices and programs supporting Latino business owners and entrepreneurs.
The grant from Google.org, the technology giant's philanthropic arm, will boost the lab's action-oriented strategies to prepare the workforce development ecosystem for the challenges and opportunities brought by the increasing digitalization of the economy.
The Coca-Cola Company is a central partner in AILAS' efforts to shift the narrative around Latinos and their contributions to the competitiveness and resilience of the American economy. The company's giving supports City Action Lab's overall initiative as well as efforts to expand the participation of Latino businesses in our nation's supply chain.
The funding from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the nation's largest nonprofit supporting Hispanic American higher education, and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the largest Hispanic business organization, representing 4.7M+ Hispanic-owned businesses, are also in support of the overall Aspen City Action Lab initiative.
About Aspen Institute Latinos and Society
The Aspen Institute Latinos and Society's mission is to empower and promote long-term economic growth and resiliency in Latino communities throughout the United States. AILAS leverages the Aspen Institute's unique convening power and deep network of leaders from the public, private, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors to advance needed public and corporate policy that maximizes the economic potential of Latino communities, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. With a focus on equity, workforce upskilling and entrepreneurial ecosystem-building, AILAS sources data-driven, community-informed, and culturally relevant solutions to untap the economic potential of Latino workers, business owners and entrepreneurs, to the benefit of the nation.

With China’s biggest freshwater lake reduced to just 25% of its usual size by a severe drought, work crews are digging trenches to keep water flowing to one of the country’s key rice-growing regions.
The dramatic decline of Poyang Lake in the landlocked southeastern province of Jiangxi had otherwise cut off irrigation channels to nearby farmlands. The crews, using excavators to dig trenches, only work after dark because of the extreme daytime heat, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
A severe heat wave is wreaking havoc across much of southern China. High temperatures have sparked mountain fires that have forced the evacuation of 1,500 people in the southwest, and factories have been ordered to cut production as hydroelectric plants reduce their output amid drought conditions. The extreme heat and drought have wilted crops and shrunk rivers including the giant Yangtze, disrupting cargo traffic.
Fed by China’s major rivers, Poyang Lake averages about 3,500 square kilometers (1,400 square miles) in high season, but has contracted to just 737 square kilometers (285 square miles) in the recent drought.
As determined by water level, the lake officially entered this year’s dry season Aug. 6, earlier than at any time since records began being taken in 1951. Hydrological surveys before then are incomplete, although it appears the lake may be at or around its lowest level in recent history.
Along with providing water for agriculture and other uses, the lake is a major stopover for migrating birds heading south for the winter.
China is more accustomed to dealing with the opposite problem: seasonal rains that trigger landslides and flooding every summer. Two years ago, villages and fields of rice, cotton, corn and beans around Poyang Lake were inundated after torrential rains.
This year, a wide swath of western and central China has seen days of temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in heat waves that have started earlier and lasted longer than usual.
The heat is likely connected to human-caused climate change, though scientists have yet to do to the complex calculations and computer simulations to say that for certain.
“The heat is certainly record-breaking, and certainly aggravated by human-caused climate change,” said Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre in the Netherlands. “Drought is always a bit more complex.”
The “truly mind-boggling temperatures roasting China” are connected to a stuck jet stream — the river of air that moves weather systems around the world — said Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
She said an elongated area of relatively high atmospheric pressure parked over western Russia is responsible for both China’s and Europe’s heat waves this year. In China’s case, the high pressure is preventing cool air masses and precipitation from entering the area.
“When hot, dry conditions get stuck, the soil dries out and heats more readily, reinforcing the heat dome overhead even further,” Francis said.
In the hard-hit city of Chongqing, some shopping malls have been told to open only from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. to conserve energy. Residents have been seeking respite in the cool of air raid shelters dating from World War II.
That reflects the situation in Europe and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, with high temperatures taking a toll on public health, food production and the environment.

As you grow older, you pick up certain tricks and lessons along the way that can help you in a bind or that you can use for everyday tasks. You might develop skills for interpersonal relationships, or you might gain a technical understanding that allows you to work with computers and machinery.
Whatever it is, there are hard skills everyone should possess in life to help them and others in times of need. We all possess the ability to master things in our lives, so there is no excuse not to have a skill or trade that you do well.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
People can use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to look deep into a situation and figure out the best solutions. It will even help you understand the problem better.
The ability to identify and resolve problems is a complicated skill. It requires hours of practice with critical thinking, problem-solving, and reflection, just like working a puzzle or a lock with a lockpick set until you figure it out.
Communication and Interpersonal
The mind can be tricky to navigate, and there are individuals who are exceptional at helping others work through mental conditions and ailments. Many of these people go into health care and related fields to help others. Some become therapists and psychologists, while others teach and support when people need them. If you have these skills, you’ll be able to communicate effectively with other people. This is important in all kinds of relationships, especially in the workforce and in daily life during any interaction you may face with another individual.
Mechanical and Technological
Then, some find that they work well with their hands. These people can mold and shape things to create mechanical and technological wonders that work for them.
This inventive nature is how we are becoming so technologically advanced. People who can think deeply about how things work can find ways to make them operate better. When we concentrate and ask deep questions, we usually find better answers. Specialty skills such as these can lead to certain career paths; however, the average person should be able to apply the same practical knowledge and skills in their lives.
With these hard skills that everyone should possess in life, there are no limits to what you can do. If you make something happen that you’re passionate about, think about how much you have benefited the world around you. | https://www.theonlinerocket.com/partnered-content/2022/08/22/hard-skills-everyone-should-possess-in-life/ | 2022-08-23T21:04:51Z | https://www.theonlinerocket.com/partnered-content/2022/08/22/hard-skills-everyone-should-possess-in-life/ | true | 1 |

- Reports EPS of $0.77 and adjusted EPS of $0.811
- Updating fiscal year outlook to reflect revised plans for second half
SEATTLE, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today reported second quarter net earnings of $126 million and earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $0.77 for the quarter ended July 30, 2022. Excluding costs associated with the wind-down of Trunk Club, the Company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.81.1
For the second quarter, net sales increased 12.0 percent versus the same period in fiscal 2021, exceeding pre-pandemic sales levels, and gross merchandise value ("GMV") increased 12.2 percent.

"We delivered solid results in the second quarter, with topline growth, increased profitability and continued progress in our strategic initiatives," said Erik Nordstrom, chief executive officer of Nordstrom, Inc. "While our quarterly results were consistent with our previous outlook, customer traffic and demand decelerated significantly beginning in late June, predominantly at Nordstrom Rack. We are adjusting our plans and taking action to navigate this dynamic in the short term, including aligning inventory and expenses to recent trends, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term strategic and financial goals."
In the second quarter, men's apparel had the strongest growth versus 2021, and shoes, women's apparel and beauty also had double-digit growth, as customers updated their wardrobes and returned to occasions. Total Anniversary event sales increased 5 percent, including one day of the event that fell in the third quarter.
"We elevated the customer experience and increased engagement during this year's Anniversary Sale, and we're proud of our team's execution and dedication to customers," said Pete Nordstrom, president and chief brand officer of Nordstrom, Inc. "As we look to the second half of the year, we are aggressively right-sizing our inventory while investing in supply chain and merchandising capabilities that will benefit us in 2023 and beyond."
As previously announced on August 17, 2022, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share to be paid to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2022, payable on September 14, 2022.

ADJUSTED EBIT, ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EPS
(NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES)
(unaudited; amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
Adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share ("EPS") are key financial metrics and, when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, we believe they provide useful information for evaluating our core business performance, enable comparison of financial results across periods and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS exclude certain items that we do not consider representative of our core operating performance. The financial measure calculated under GAAP which is most directly comparable to adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA is net earnings. The financial measure calculated under GAAP which is most directly comparable to adjusted EPS is earnings (loss) per diluted share.
Adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net earnings, operating cash flows, earnings (loss) per share, earnings (loss) per diluted share or other financial measures performed in accordance with GAAP. Our method of determining non-GAAP financial measures may differ from other companies' financial measures and therefore may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL ("ADJUSTED ROIC")
(NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE)
(unaudited; dollars in millions)
We believe that Adjusted ROIC is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the capital we have invested in our business to generate returns over time. In addition, we have incorporated it in our executive incentive measures and we believe it is an important indicator of shareholders' return over the long term.
Adjusted ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, return on assets, net earnings, total assets or other GAAP financial measures. Our method of calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. The financial measure calculated under GAAP which is most directly comparable to Adjusted ROIC is return on assets. The following shows the components to reconcile the return on assets calculation to Adjusted ROIC:
NORDSTROM, INC.
ADJUSTED DEBT TO EBITDAR (NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE)
(unaudited; dollars in millions)
Adjusted debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent ("EBITDAR") is one of our key financial metrics and we believe that our debt levels are best analyzed using this measure, as it provides a reflection of our creditworthiness which could impact our credit rating and borrowing costs. This metric is calculated in accordance with the updates in our new Revolver covenant and is a key component in assessing whether our revolving credit facility is secured or unsecured, as well as our ability to make dividend payments and share repurchases. Our goal is to manage debt levels to achieve and maintain investment-grade credit ratings while operating with an efficient capital structure.
Adjusted debt to EBITDAR is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, debt to net earnings, net earnings, debt or other GAAP financial measures. Our method of calculating a non-GAAP financial measure may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. The financial measure calculated under GAAP which is most directly comparable to Adjusted debt to EBITDAR is debt to net earnings. The following shows the components to reconcile the debt to net earnings calculation to Adjusted debt to EBITDAR:
NORDSTROM, INC.
FREE CASH FLOW (NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE)
(unaudited; amounts in millions)
Free Cash Flow is one of our key liquidity measures and, when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, we believe it provides investors with a meaningful analysis of our ability to generate cash from our business.
Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating cash flows or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating a non-GAAP financial measure may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. The financial measure calculated under GAAP which is most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow is net cash provided by operating activities.

Canada names new chief nursing officer to advise on health crisis
As strains in the health-care system continue to be felt across the country, the federal government has named Leigh Chapman as Canada’s chief nursing officer (CNO). Chapman’s role will be to represent nurses at the federal level, and to provide strategic advice from a nursing perspective to Health Canada as it faces calls to do more to stem the crisis.
"Many health-care professionals, including nurses, are currently facing enormous challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic… In fact, there are already a number of jurisdictions in Canada reporting nursing shortages, which is having an impact on the functioning of emergency rooms and other critical health services that Canadians need and deserve," said Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos in unveiling Chapman as the pick for the position.
"With this growing crisis, we need to support our nurses, make sure they are heard and that their challenges are met with solutions. We need the right advice and expertise to inform our path forward," Duclos said on Tuesday. “We all look forward to learning from Dr. Chapman's extensive experience and insight… I am very confident that she will increase the visibility, the input and the influence of Canada's nurses at the national level.”
Chapman— a registered nurse (RN) with nearly 20 years of experience and a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Nursing – will be filling a role the Liberals vowed to reinstate earlier this year.
She will participate in the development of broad health system policy, work with regulatory bodies and educators, play a convening role with provincial and territorial governments, and represent the federal government at public health forums within Canada and abroad, Duclos said.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Chapman said she’s looking forward to taking on this role, and is vowing to collaborate with frontline nurses, regulators, and educators on strengthening the profession and amplifying the difference she said she’s seen nurses make in patients’ lives.
“It’s been an incredibly difficult time over the course of the pandemic. We've had nurses doing end of life care by iPad, working critically short beyond what was ever imaginable. So first and foremost, my message is a message of thanks for those who have worked in various capacities over the course of the pandemic,” Chapman said. “I really, really do hope that nurses who are in the profession find resources to stay, and I hope that we can make the workplace amenable to that as well. Because we absolutely need all hands on deck.”
Among the issues she'll be advising on are workforce planning, long-term care, palliative care, mental health care, and substance use. The appointment is for a two-year term, with the potential to be extended.
In February, when Duclos announced the federal government would be reinstating the position scrapped in 2012, he noted the role nurses— the largest group of regulated health professionals in Canada—played during the COVID-19 pandemic. The move was applauded by nursing organizations, who had been pushing for the position to be revived.
"The CNO will strengthen Canada’s health system by providing strategic policy advice from a nursing lens to Health Canada. It will also be essential in supporting a national response to the significant shortages in health human resources that exist across the country, and in stabilizing the nursing workforce beyond the COVID-19 pandemic," said the Canadian Nurses Association in a statement at the time.
Canada's first chief nursing officer was appointed in 1968, and in 1999 the Office of Nursing Policy was created within the Strategic Policy Branch of Health Canada.
The decision to drop the position a decade ago was due to "realigning resources across priorities," according to the government.
"However, in this current environment, the CNO is viewed as an important role and has been resourced accordingly," the government said in a statement on Tuesday.

Couple with 40-year age gap still happily married after 17 years
23 August 2022, 16:08 | Updated: 23 August 2022, 16:30
Edna and Simon said they have both found 'the one' in each other.
A couple with a 40-year age gap joined Ruth Langsford and Rylan Clark on This Morning on Tuesday to talk about the secret behind their successful marriage.
Edna, 87, and Simon, 47, have been married for 17 years now, and despite their 40-year age gap, they've made their relationship work.
The couple first met at a music concert when Edna was 68-years-old and Simon was 28-years-old.
This Morning has followed the couple's relationship for years now, with Simon telling the show in 2005 that while he and Edna get funny looks from strangers, it doesn't matter because they know they are happy and in love.
In 2019, Edna told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that Simon is "in her head and in her heart", and that she "adores him".
Now, returning to the This Morning sofa, the couple say they are more in love than ever.
"I knew and I think Simon will tell you, we both knew that this was 'the one’", Edna told Ruth and Rylan.
She added: “People think they fall in love in life lots of times and it’s happened to most people, or it will do, but there is someone out there who is your absolute destiny.
"You don’t have to look for them. Like with Simon and myself, we actually fell over each other in a doorway in a dressing room.
"I wasn’t looking because I’d been here a long time and I’ve been married before and I’ve had other relationships, but never like this”.
Speaking on what he loves the most about Edna, Simon said: “Everybody’s unique, but to me, Edna’s probably one of the most unique people I’ve ever met.
"She’s very witty, very kind, a very loving person, very straight up and down - what you see is what you get with Ed. She’s a very wonderful person and she’s the one for me!” | https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/thismorning/couple-40-year-age-gap-edna-simon-interview/ | 2022-08-23T21:14:21Z | https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/thismorning/couple-40-year-age-gap-edna-simon-interview/ | false | 1 |

A group of animals at a Louisiana wildlife rehabilitation center got a sweet surprise from a most unexpected situation. A local farmer donated a bounty of watermelon and cantaloupe after an unfortunate accident on the way to a watermelon festival.
In a post on her Facebook page, wildlife rehabilitation specialist Leslie Greene explained where the truck was going, why it was packed with fruit, and the blessing she and the animals she’s rehabbing received as a result of the accident.
“It’s the Watermelon Festival in Farmerville [LA], unfortunately, this truck had a little mishap,” she wrote in her post. “Lucky for us YAK’s Produce donated these Watermelon & Cantaloupes to the Wildlife Rehab!!! THANK YOU YAK’s!!!”
Greene told People she came up to the accident scene and learned everyone was OK. The road was a mess, but she knew that she could put the crushed fruit to good use at her animal rescue facility. So she asked the owner of Yak’s Produce if she could have the open melons for her animals.
“And the owner is like, ‘If it can go to another cause instead of being discarded, that would be wonderful,” Greene told the magazine.
Not only did the produce company agree to donate the fruit, but it also loaded the melons up and delivered them to River Bandit Rescue, the four-acre animal rehab property where Greene currently boards 42 animals, including beavers, coyotes, goats, skunks and other critters.
It didn’t take long for the animals to enjoy the fruits of their owners and the workers’ labor.
Greene posted an adorable video on TikTok of some of the animals digging into the donations.

In the video, Greene explained that watermelon is a wonderful source of hydration for the animals in the Louisiana summer heat. It’s also packed with lots of vitamins and nutrients to keep them healthy.
“They absolutely love it,” she explained to People. “With it being so hot and humid, it’s the perfect snack.”

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office deputy was shot and killed and a second deputy wounded while the two were serving eviction papers at a home on the southwest side of Oklahoma City, authorities said.
Both deputies were transported to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, where Sgt. Bobby Swartz died and the other deputy was in stable condition, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Aaron Brilbeck said.
Sheriff Tommie Johnson said the two deputies were serving “lock-out papers,” which is part of the eviction process, when one of the deputies went to the back door of the home and was shot. The second deputy was shot as he attempted to pull the first deputy to safety, Johnson said.
A suspect in the shooting was taken into custody following a vehicle chase across the city, said Oklahoma City police Sgt. Dillon Quirk. The suspect’s name was not immediately released.
“During that pursuit, the suspect was firing rounds at officers, and we had officers as well returning fire at the suspect,” said Oklahoma City Police Capt. Valerie Littlejohn. She said neither the suspect nor the pursuing officers were hit by gunfire during the exchanges.
Video from a news helicopter showed police chasing a pickup truck hauling a boat across the city to the entrance of Tinker Air Force Base, where the driver was taken into custody after he threw a rifle out the window and exited the truck with his hands raised. | https://www.wate.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-serving-eviction-papers-shot-killed/ | 2022-08-23T21:16:26Z | https://www.wate.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/oklahoma-sheriff-deputy-serving-eviction-papers-shot-killed/ | true | 42 |

BFit Naumaste CBD, a female-owned brand of CBD products, has been recognized for educating consumers on CBD’s many benefits for alleviating anxiety, depression, and arthritis. The company’s trusted fitness health specialists, wellness professionals, and medical practitioners are led by founder Nazila Empero, an accomplished fitness enthusiast.
Nazila brings years of experience in the health and wellness industry to BFit Naumaste CBD as a former Ms. Fitness USA competitor, former Ms. Hawaiian Tropic of Panama City, Florida, former bodybuilder, and former professional personal trainer. She immigrated to the United States from Iran as a child with her family after her father, who was the Shaw of Iran’s private jet pilot, watched friends get killed during the Khomeni regime, and recognized the dire need to leave.
In the United States, Nazila overcame other challenges and stayed focused and disciplined in every aspect of life through her love for helping people. As a renowned wellness professional, she has stayed true to that while educating future generations and spending decades advocating for CBD and its benefits for the mind and body.
“BFit Naumaste CBD is compelled to spread the word about the benefits of CBD, so others do not fall into the trap of relying on unnatural and unhealthy painkillers, which eventually cause more problems,” remarked Nazila Empero, Founder of BFit Naumaste CBD. “Our mission is to share with everyone the physical, mental, and overall well-being benefits of our CBD products and regimes,” she added.
BFit Naumaste CBD’s full-spectrum collection, which includes high-quality CBD salves, gummy vitamins, oils, and skin patches, makes up some of the finest products on the market. Each has been shown to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and arthritis, including sore, achy joints and back pains, which are increasingly common amongst everyday consumers worldwide. All salves, gummy vitamins, oils, and skin patches have been professionally formulated and manufactured to improve the mind and body using only the finest all-natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO ingredients, and each also has all been third-party tested using animal cruelty-free processes.

ANCONA, Italy (AP) — Leading her first election campaign rally, Italian far-right leader Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday slammed the European Union energy’s strategy, saying families and businesses are being “brought to their knees” by soaring prices.
Meloni, who has been buoyed for weeks by opinion polls showing her leading in her quest to become Italy’s first female premier and its first far-right government leader, used the evening pep rally in Ancona, an Adriatic port city, to hammer away at long-running themes for her Brothers of Italy party, whose symbol borrows an icon from a neo-fascist party.
She told the crowd of about 1,000 people in a town square there was a reason why she chose Ancona in Italy’s east-central Marche region for her inaugural rally for Sept. 25 balloting for Parliament.
“I’m starting in Ancona not by chance,” Meloni said, saying she did it so she can remind voters that “we have a class of leaders ready to govern the country.”
Introducing Meloni was Marche’s governor, Francesco Acquaroli, elected in 2020 on the Brothers of Italy ticket, one of several local or regional elections where her party has gained popularity in the last years, sometimes at the expense of her right-wing ally, anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini.
Meloni’s main rival in opinion polls in the last several weeks is Democratic Party leader Enrico Letta, a former center-left premier. But while Meloni has center-right campaign alliances with both Salvini and with former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, Letta and his party have failed to forge similarly solid and broad alliances for the center-left.
Salvini, Berlusconi and another populist leader, Giuseppe Conte, the former premier who leads the 5-Star Movement, sunk the national unity government of Premier Mario Draghi last month when they refused to back him in a confidence vote.
Often shouting, Meloni proclaimed that the political right is “ready to give answers to the country that the left hasn’t been able to do” for years.
She contended that the European Union had failed to craft policies that would ensure available, affordable energy supplies. Sky-high energy prices “have forced businesses and families down to their knees,” Meloni said.
While Salvini and Berlusconi in their campaigns have called for reactivating Italy’s long-shuttered nuclear power plants, Meloni at the rally said Italy should exploit gas resources in the Adriatic Sea and not just look to buy gas from countries like Algeria, as Draghi has done, to wean Italians from supplies from Russia, given that country’s war against Ukraine.
Meloni has called for naval blockades in the Mediterranean to foil migrant smugglers from launching unseaworthy vessels from Libya toward Italy’s shores. Noting most migrants who reach Italy that way aren’t eligible for asylum, Meloni said they only wind up being exploited to work for low wages and in poor conditions by profit-hungry corporations — employment conditions “that Italians don’t want.”
At other public appearances, Meloni has slammed what she calls the LGBTQ lobby, but she made no mention of that stance at the rally. Still, her past words have alarmed rights advocates in Italy.
Matteo Marchegiani, leader of the Ancona chapter of Arcigay, a nationwide advocacy organization, told The Associated Press that he was very worried Meloni and her party could win a majority. Such an election victory “could lead to the cancellation of the few civil rights that the LGBTQ community as a civil rights movement has obtained after decades of work and great effort” in Italy, he said.
Italy doesn’t permit same-sex marriage. Right-wing and pro-Vatican politicians in recent years have thwarted passage of legislation, promoted by the Democrats, for hate crime protection for the LGBTQ community.
A few protesters rallied near the square where Meloni spoke, with one of them holding a sign contending the leader foments hate.

Substitute James Waite completed the Newport comeback 16 minutes from time as the League Two side triumphed 3-2 over League One Portsmouth at Rodney Parade.
Pompey deservedly led 2-1 at the break thanks to two clinical strikes from Ronan Curtis, either side of Will Evans’ equaliser, but the visitors could have been out of sight by half-time.
Exiles goalkeeper Joe Day denied Dane Scarlett and Joe Pigott, who had volleyed against the bar moments earlier.
Aaron Wildig glanced in a second equaliser for the Welsh side four minutes after the restart before Day prevented a Curtis hat-trick with a fingertip save.
The end-to-end contest turned into more of a chess match in the middle of the second half as both sides introduced experienced defenders to bring some control to their respective back lines.
The tie looked to be heading for a penalty shootout but Waite, who also scored the winner at Luton in the first round, had other ideas.
Introduced in the 71st minute, the 23-year-old midfielder – signed from Welsh Premier League club Penybont in January – conjured up the winner within three minutes.
Teed up by Evans, Waite strode forward with purpose and fired into the bottom corner from 25 yards.

Friends of Angela Dalman called her a “shining light” on Tuesday after a judge sentenced the man who killed her to life in prison with no parole for 14 years.
Speaking outside the courthouse on Tuesday (Aug. 23), Lisa Robertson wanted to keep the focus on how beautiful a person Dalman was. As one of her best friends, she recalled how the 40-year-old mother would stop her truck in the street and hand out food to the less fortunate.
“She was such a generous, generous person,” Robertson said. “She made everybody feel like she was their very best friend, she really did.”
The judge presiding over the case accepted a joint submission by Crown and defence lawyers that will see Anthony Dheensaw ineligible for parole for 14 years. His second-degree murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence, in which he will serve nine years concurrently for his attempted murder conviction.
In her decision, the judge noted how friends and family fought through tears to speak about the profound devastation that Dalman’s death had on them, and how they continue to be overwhelmed with sadness.
Dheensaw shot and killed Dalman after mistaking her for another woman on March 6, 2020. During the sentencing hearing, the court heard how Dheensaw stayed at a home in the 800-block of Arncote Avenue in Langford for two days before he was told to leave, but he repeatedly refused. He was then kicked out after a man assaulted him. He returned to the home later that night with a rifle, looking to shoot the man and woman who lived in the home.
Dheensaw shot Dalman in the shoulder after mistaking her for the woman who lived in the home and before attempting to fire at the male homeowner. Dalman did not survive the shoulder gunshot wound.
The judge considered Dheensaw’s criminal history, his use of a firearm and how the shooting was unprovoked. She stated the now 38-year-old tried to better himself in 2008, after previous convictions, with schooling and work. She also said his multiple sclerosis diagnosis affected his ability to continue his education and stay employed. The judge said Dheensaw’s life spiralled downward in 2015 and he started to abuse cocaine, which would become an addiction after he was attacked with a knife in 2017.
While presenting victim impact statements, friends and family of Dalman said they will never recover from her being taken from them, with several saying the murder affects them on a daily basis. Dalman was known for always smiling and bringing laughter everywhere she went.
“She was the best mother I could ever ask for,” her son told the court. “It is hard for me to think about the future without her and everything that is going to happen to me that she will not be there for. If I have kids, she will never get to see them and they will not get to know the wonderful person she was.”
Outside the courthouse, Roberston added, “we just want her to be remembered as the person she was, and she was so much more than this crime.”
She noted loved ones will somehow have to learn how to live without Dalman. “It’s an enormous loss, enormous.”

Elon Musk might have just gotten a leg up in his effort to back out of buying Twitter.
The billionaire Tesla CEO has spent months alleging that the company he agreed to buy for $44 billion undercounted its fake and spam accounts — and that he shouldn’t have to consummate the deal as a result.
Now, a whistleblower complaint from Twitter’s former security chief alleging the company misled regulators about its privacy and security protections — and its ability to detect and root out fake accounts — might play into Musk’s hands in an upcoming trial scheduled for Oct. 17 in Delaware.
Musk’s legal team, in fact, has already issued a subpoena for the whistleblower, Peiter Zatko — also known by his hacker handle “Mudge” — who served as Twitter’s head of security until he was fired early this year.
Alex Spiro, a lawyer representing Musk in his efforts to back out of buying Twitter, said the legal team “found his exit and that of other key employees curious in light of what we have been finding.”
Disclosure of the Mudge document changes the dynamic of the Twitter lawsuit from what appeared to be an easy win for Twitter, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in an interview.
“For Musk, it’s almost like a kid waking up on Christmas morning and seeing this under the tree,” he said. “It gives the Musk camp a leg to stand on going into the court battle.”
The whistleblower complaint boosts Musk’s claims on the spam bot issue, and will bring more focus on it in Washington, Ives said. “For Twitter’s board, it’s their worst nightmare that this came out at such a critical juncture.”
But Ives called the timing of the complaint “extremely interesting” just weeks before the trial in Delaware.
Twitter called the complaint “a false narrative” about the company and its privacy and data security practices “that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lacks important context.”
In an emailed statement, the company said Zatko’s “allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders.”
Some experts, though, see the whistleblower disclosure as little more than good optics for Musk.
While getting a lot of headlines, it probably won’t change what’s likely to be a Twitter victory in its lawsuit demanding that Musk go through with the purchase, said Erik Gordon, a University of Michigan law and business professor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Russia’s war on Ukraine drags on, U.S. security assistance is shifting to a longer-term campaign that will likely keep more American military troops in Europe into the future, including imminent plans to announce an additional roughly $3 billion in aid to train and equip Ukrainian forces to fight for years to come, U.S. officials said.
U.S. officials told The Associated Press that the package is expected to be announced Wednesday, the day the war hits the six-month mark and Ukraine celebrates its independence day. The money will fund contracts for drones, weapons and other equipment that may not see the battlefront for a year or two, they said.
The total of the aid package — which is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative — could change overnight, but not likely by much. Several officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the aid before its public release.
Unlike most previous packages, the new funding is largely aimed at helping Ukraine secure its medium- to long-term defense posture, according to officials familiar with the matter. Earlier shipments, most of them done under Presidential Drawdown Authority, have focused on Ukraine’s more immediate needs for weapons and ammunition and involved materiel that the Pentagon already has in stock that can be shipped in short order.
In addition to providing longer-term assistance that Ukraine can use for potential future defense needs, the new package is intended to reassure Ukrainian officials that the United States intends to keep up its support, regardless of the day-to-day back and forth of the conflict, the officials said.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg noted the more extended focus Tuesday as he reaffirmed the alliance’s support for the conflict-torn country.
“Winter is coming, and it will be hard, and what we see now is a grinding war of attrition. This is a battle of wills, and a battle of logistics. Therefore we must sustain our support for Ukraine for the long term, so that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation,” Stoltenberg said, speaking at a virtual conference about Crimea, organized by Ukraine.
Six months after Russia invaded, the war has slowed to a grind, as both sides trade combat strikes and small advances in the east and south. Both sides have seen thousands of troops killed and injured, as Russia’s bombardment of cities has killed countless innocent civilians.
There are fears that Russia will intensify attacks on civilian infrastructure and government facilities in Ukraine in the coming days because of the independence holiday and the six-month anniversary of the invasion.
Late Monday, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine and the State Department issued a new security alert for Ukraine that repeated a call for Americans in the country to leave due to the danger.
“Given Russia’s track record in Ukraine, we are concerned about the continued threat that Russian strikes pose to civilians and civilian infrastructure,” it said.
Other NATO allies are also marking the independence day with new aid announcements.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his country is providing more than 500 million euros (nearly $500 million) in aid, including powerful anti-aircraft systems. The aid will also include rocket launchers, ammunition, anti-drone equipment, a dozen armored recovery vehicles and and three additional IRIS-T long-range air defense systems, the German news agency dpa reported.
The funding must still be approved by parliament, and some of it won’t be delivered until next year.
And Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $3.85 million for two Ukraine projects through the Peace and Stabilization Operations Program. It includes about $2.9 million in funding for ongoing development of Ukraine’s national police force and other emergency services, and about $950,000 to help advise Ukraine’s defense ministry.
To date, the U.S. has provided about $10.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including 19 packages of weapons taken directly from Defense Department stocks since August 2021.
U.S. defense leaders are also eyeing plans that will expand training for Ukrainian troops outside their country, and for militaries on Europe’s eastern and southern flanks that feel most threatened by Russia’s aggression.

Patriots improved, but still face questions entering 2022
By The Associated Press
The Patriots had a clear agenda to improve this offseason following a blowout wild-card playoff loss to Buffalo. It started on offense, where Bill Belichick brought in some help at receiver for second-year quarterback Mac Jones, adding DeVante Parker. He also added some veteran talent at linebacker to help improve what was a poor run defense. But there are still some question marks on the offensive line, which will likely feature a rookie starter in left guard Cole Strange. Matt Patricia also will need to find a groove fast as the new play-caller on offense if this team hopes to be in the mix in an AFC East in which it is no longer the front-runner. | https://krdo.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/23/patriots-improved-but-still-face-questions-entering-2022/ | 2022-08-23T21:36:34Z | https://krdo.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/23/patriots-improved-but-still-face-questions-entering-2022/ | true | null |

Independent John Wood ended his Missouri Senate campaign Tuesday, acknowledging he no longer saw a path to victory without controversial former Gov. Eric Greitens as the GOP nominee.
Greitens lost the GOP primary earlier this month to Attorney General Eric Schmitt. Wood, who had said he would caucus with Senate Republicans, initially said he would stay in the race. In an interview with NBC News the night of the Aug. 2 primary, Wood described Schmitt as "very extreme."
But on Tuesday Wood tweeted that he initially entered the race to block Greitens, suggesting Greitens' defeat in the primary meant Wood no longer saw a way to win the Senate race.
"While I think I could have beaten Eric Greitens, Missouri no longer faces the risk of Greitens as our next U.S. Senator," Wood tweeted. "While I have significant differences of opinion with both the Republican and Democratic nominees, it has become evident there is not a realistic path to victory for me as an independent candidate."
Wood did have support from an outside group known as Missouri Stands United, which is backed by former GOP Sen. Jack Danforth. The group has spent $450,000 since the Aug. 2 primary, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact. Neither Schmitt or his Democratic opponent, Trudy Busch Valentine, have spent significant money on ads so far. | https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/independent-john-wood-drops-missouri-senate-bid-rcna44494 | 2022-08-23T21:39:09Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/independent-john-wood-drops-missouri-senate-bid-rcna44494 | false | 1 |
Barbiecore has been a ruling summer fashion trend but American Girl is saluting the Harlem Renaissance with its newest doll.
The “Claudie Wells” character celebrates the Harlem Renaissance and its literary heritage with help from bestselling author Brit Bennett and fashion designer Samantha Black. Just like other American Girl dolls, the latest addition has a personal and historic story and one that is immersed in the rich African American artistic and cultural heritage of Harlem in the ’20s.
Bennett, a New York Times bestselling author, was tapped for the project after tweeting that she was interested in writing an American Girl story based on her experience with the brand and derived one from the Harlem Renaissance. The subject is one the writer said she has always enjoyed studying, an outpouring of Black artistry that emerged alongside larger struggles for equal rights. Bennett consulted with five established academics led by Georgetown University professor of history and African American studies and Pulitzer Prize winner Marcia Chatelain.
Bennett’s “Meet Claudie” paperback was illustrated by Laura Freeman. It comes with every doll and is also available in a separate keepsake hardcover edition.
To further enhance the toy with some historical context, American Girl designers referenced ’20s publications, photographs and resources like W.E.B. Du Bois’ “The Brownies’ Book,” the first magazine geared toward Black children. The brown-eyed doll was made with a new face mold and has shoulder-length dark hair with ringlets, a hair bow, a plaid dress, a knit cardigan, a heart pendant, a cloche hat and an era-authentic Baby Ruth candy bar, albeit a replica one.
Through a collaboration with Harlem’s Fashion Row, the Mattel-owned company’s 21-inch “Claudie” can be dressed in three special-edition outfits that are meant to be modernized versions of ’20s glamour. Started in 1986, American Girl has had its own renaissance as of late, thanks first to influencers posting from the flagship café, TikTokers sharing American Girl-inspired recipes and sardonic memes about wish-list American Girl dolls. (There were 381.4 million videos related to American Girl dolls on TikTok as of Tuesday afternoon.)
Along with hosting a runway show Tuesday night in its Rockefeller Center flagship, American Girl will be supporting the Harlem School for the Arts with a combined $100,000 donation made up of cash, Claudie dolls and books. The funding will support HSA Prep, a pre-professional scholarship program geared for students between the ages of 12 and 18.
Black, who designs under the label Sammy B, discussed the new project Tuesday. After first going the corporate route in fashion design, she started her own business in 2016. Prior to that, Black worked at the Aeropostale-owned Jimmy’Z specializing in women’s denim and also freelanced in design and consulted for a number of other brands, including American Apparel, Jessica Simpson, Jordache and Target.
Growing up, Black said she “idolized” American Girl dolls mainly because they were “so cool, different and super expensive. In my house, that was the expensive doll. It was not so easily attainable.” As a child, her favorite was the “Samantha” doll, whose name resonated with the future designer. Although Black had never thought about designing a doll, she thinks it’s really cool “to design something for little Black girls” and she wants them to not only feel special but also to see themselves in the doll. Black also made a point of designing clothes that even adults would want to wear.
With the outfits that she has designed Black hopes that young girls will be able to envision themselves now and their future selves in other areas. “Growing up, I don’t know if as much love and attention was put into the Brown and Black girls. Even I wanted the blonde doll because I felt that the outfits and accessories were better,” Black said. “With Claudie, I feel that everything about her is special even from her casual outfits to the outfits that I designed, she looks super cool. She is in a good life. It doesn’t have to be hard. A girl can have a soft life — a fabulous, luxury soft life.”
Uncertain how this endeavor will impact her business, Black has seen an uptick in social media followers and expects more people to find her, who might not have otherwise. “I also hope that people will see me as a designer who can do many things. Designing for a doll is fun, but there is also a lot to take into account. You have to think about that you are addressing an age range that is so impressionable,” Black said. “If an adult is seeing me for the first time, I just want them to see that I am multifaceted.”
The designer continued, “I really don’t know what it will bring. But I hope all that it brings is good and so far that’s what it has brought. It has exposed me to more people. The writer Brit [Bennett] messaged me saying that everyone’s asking if the designs come in adult sizes. They absolutely are not producing them for adults. But if adults can see themselves wearing those designs, they can come over to Sammy B. I don’t have that [laughs]. I have other things in the adult sizes of that mindset and feel.”
Black will be staging her first runway show in a few years on Sept. 12 at 22 Fulton Street and will launch a higher-end contemporary line called Samantha Black. Like the Claudie doll, the new collection is geared to push Black excellence as much as possible, the designer said. The show will include a livestreaming event with Live Rocket Studios that will feature a buy-now item from the new label. | https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/american-girl-doll-celebrates-harlem-renaissance-with-help-from-designer-samantha-black-1235302109/ | 2022-08-23T21:39:39Z | https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/american-girl-doll-celebrates-harlem-renaissance-with-help-from-designer-samantha-black-1235302109/ | false | 1 |

Former Louisville cop pleads guilty to lying on Breonna Taylor search warrant
Former Louisville Metro Police Detective Kelly Hanna Goodlett pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of conspiring to violate the civil rights of Breonna Taylor for helping falsify an affidavit for the search of her apartment that ended in her death in March 2020.
Goodlett is expected to be a star witness at the trial of two of her ex-colleagues, Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, when they are tried on civil rights charges in connection with Taylor’s death. A third ex-detective, Brett Hankison, is also charged in a separate federal indictment.
Goodlett, 35, admitted the charge before U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings with Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, among those present in the courtroom. She is the first officer to be convicted in connection with Taylor's death.
Goodlett appeared Tuesday afternoon at the hearing inside the federal courthouse on West Broadway with attorney Brandon Marshall, with the former detective answering “yes, your honor,” and “yes, ma’am,” as the judge mostly asked her if she understood her rights and the accusations against her.
Goodlett was previously released but ordered to surrender her passport and have no contact with her codefendants, including Hankison.
She faces a sentence of no more than five years in prison, plus up to a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Her sentencing tentatively is set for 1 p.m. Nov. 22, though Jennings noted that date may get pushed back.
After prosecutor Michael Songer, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, read through the main facts in the plea agreement, Goodlett answered “yes, your honor” to the judge’s question if the facts were all true.
“Guilty,” she said near the end of the roughly 45-minute hearing, answering how she would plead.
Prosecutors, Goodlett, her attorney, Palmer and others did not immediately appear outside the federal courthouse after the hearing to offer any comment. Palmer later posted a photo of Goodlett to Instagram, with the image featuring a logo for Ben Crump's law firm and the words, "Kelly Goodlett Pleads Guilty To A Federal Charge in Breonna Taylor's Killing."
Goodlett admitted she falsely claimed a postal inspector had verified Taylor was receiving packages for her ex-boyfriend, convicted drug dealer Jamarcus Glover, at her apartment before the raid. In fact, postal inspectors said there was no evidence Taylor was receiving packages at her apartment.
The indictment of Jaynes alleges Goodlett met with Jaynes in his garage so they could “get on the same page” after a postal inspector said the claim that Taylor was receiving Glover's packages was bogus.
Breonna Taylor case:Experts predict who has the edge, the feds or the charged officers
Jaynes, 40, and Meany, 35, also face civil rights charges for the search that ended in Taylor's death, while Hankison, 46, is charged with violating the civil rights of Taylor; her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker; and three of Taylor’s neighbors; by blindly firing shots into her apartment.
Taylor was killed during a police raid March 13, 2020, on her apartment near Iroquois Park.
Police stormed into her home where she was sleeping with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. Thinking an intruder was breaking in, he fired one shot that hit Sgt. John Mattingly in the leg. Mattingly and another detective, Myles Cosgrove, returned fire, killing Taylor.
FACT CHECK 2.0:Separating the truth from the lies in the Breonna Taylor police shooting
Hankison ran to the side and rear of the apartment building, firing through a window and a glass door protected by blinds and a blackout shade and sending several bullets into an adjacent apartment. He was charged and acquitted of wanton endangerment in Jefferson Circuit Court but is charged now in federal court with violating the civil rights of Taylor, Walker and two adults and a child in the other apartment.
Taylor was 26, and her death set off protests that lasted for months in Louisville and other cities.
Mattingly has since retired, and Cosgrove was fired. Neither has been charged because U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said "the officers who ultimately carried out the search at Taylor's apartment were not involved in the drafting of the warrant and were unaware of the false and misleading statements that it contained."
Jaynes and Meany are scheduled for trial Oct. 11 before Senior Judge Charles R. Simpson III, while Hankison’s trial is set for Oct. 13 before Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings. But both trials are almost certain to be postponed.

The Las Vegas show took place more than two months after METALLICA's two 40th-anniversary concerts at Chase Center in San Francisco, California which featured different setlists. They were part of METALLICA's "San Francisco Takeover", a four-day citywide celebration of the band's 40th anniversary that also included a film festival, photo exhibit and curated lineup of smaller venue shows featuring other acts.
In February, METALLICA announced it would perform only two summer stadium U.S. shows in 2022: Highmark Stadium on August 11, and PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 14. Both shows featured special guests GRETA VAN FLEET and ICE NINE KILLS.
METALLICA previously played at Highmark Stadium on July 25, 1992, and Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium on July 26, 1992. | https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-pro-shot-video-of-metallica-performing-moth-into-flame-in-pittsburgh | 2022-08-23T21:44:01Z | https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-pro-shot-video-of-metallica-performing-moth-into-flame-in-pittsburgh | true | 5 |

Meghan Markle has been hit with backlash following the release of her new podcast, featuring tennis star Serina Williams.
The first episode of Archetypes, which explores female stereotypes, was released on Tuesday.
Serena Williams revealed during the first episode of new podcast series Archetypes that she postponed growing her family for as long as possible, in order to continue her tennis career.
The recently retired tennis champion told her longtime friend that she wasn’t afforded the luxury of time that her male peers had when it came to starting a family.
Royal commentator Angela Levin seemed unimpressed with it as she slammed the Duchess and her podcast on Twitter, saying: "Meghan first podcast is out. She and Serena Williams giggle away with lots of 'oh my gosh."
"Meghan encourages her to complain about how a woman is held back and how they are victims. You couldn't make it up."
Responding to the royal biographer's criticism Twitter user @locket321 added: "Every story/anecdote she offers is always based on our Royal Family- she appears to having nothing but that to offer."
Not everyone was critical of the podcast, and many fans of the mom-of-two took to social media to share their excitement at its release.
On user, called @shelbbs247, wrote: "Duchess Meghan Markle’s long-awaited #Archetypes podcast is HERE. I’m so excited; I don't want to talk about anything else!"
However, discussing her new podcast Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex said the public will get to know the "real me" in the podcast.

John Wood, a Republican running as an independent in the U.S. Senate race in Missouri, announced Tuesday that he was withdrawing from the race.
Wood said on Twitter that he decided not to challenge Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Democratic nominee Trudy Busch Valentine in the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt.
Wood said he has significant differences with Schmitt and Valentine but “it has become evident there is not a realistic path to victory for me as an independent candidate.”
Wood, a lifelong Republican, former U.S. attorney and most recently a top investigator for the U.S. House committee examining the Jan. 6 riot, said he entered the race when disgraced former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens was the front runner for the Republican nomination.
He said it would have been “unacceptable” for Greitens to be Missouri's new senator. Schmitt soundly defeated Greitens in the Aug. 2 GOP primary.
Greitens resigned as governor four years ago after a sex scandal, two criminal charges that were eventually dropped and a legislative investigation that could have led to impeachment hearings. This year, his ex-wife accused him of abuse.
Wood's candidacy was backed by a political action committee led by retired Republican Sen. John Danforth, which spent millions on his campaign. His supporters saw him as a conservative alternative to the GOP and Democratic nominees.
“I hope others who seek elected office will endeavor to set aside the extremist rhetoric that is dividing our Nation and begin the critical work of restoring public trust in our democratic institutions,” Wood said. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Independent-John-Wood-leaves-Missouri-s-U-S-17393025.php | 2022-08-23T21:51:15Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Independent-John-Wood-leaves-Missouri-s-U-S-17393025.php | true | 11 |
New Delhi [India], August 24 (ANI): The mushroom farmer who sent his workers home to Bihar during the migrant crisis in May 2020, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in a Shiv temple in the Alipur police station area in New Delhi on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Pappan Singh of Tigipur village. The 55-year-old farmer got popular after he paid for his employees' flight tickets from Delhi to Patna during the COVID19 lockdown, added the police.
Singh used to visit the Shiv temple in front of his house daily. Today, a priest saw him hanging on the ceiling fan, as per the police.
A suicide note has been recovered which stated the reason as some disease. The family doesn't suspect anyone.
Further inquest proceedings are to be done accordingly.
During the migrant crisis amid the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020, Singh made headlines after he sent 10 of his workers to their home state Bihar by plane.
Singh spent over Rs 1 lakh to help the workers who have toiled for him, some for over 20 years. Singh also allowed the workers to join him in farming mushrooms during the August to April season.

What is the best Zarbee’s supplement?
For nearly 15 years, Zarbee’s has been committed to making natural supplements that help fight symptoms of colds, keep our digestive systems healthy, assist with sound sleeping and strengthen our immune systems.
While they make products for all ages, the brand is probably best known among parents looking for a safe alternative to cold and sinus medications for their children. For its tasty honey-based formula that is the top recommended cough syrup by pediatricians for children under 10, the best Zarbee’s supplement is Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup.
What to know before you buy a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are drug-free
Cough, throat and sinus symptoms can be aggravating. Many over-the-counter products contain alcohol and different pharmaceutical-grade drugs. Zarbee’s supplements pride themselves on being natural, using things like honey, elderberry and zinc to help treat the symptoms of common illnesses.
Zarbee’s is baby-friendly
There is a wide range of supplements made for babies. The natural ingredients and Zarbee’s commitment to not use drugs, alcohol and artificial fillers make them a favorite of parents. Zarbee’s offers cold remedies, probiotics, immune health, soothing balms and vitamins for the littlest members of your family.
Zarbee’s supports protections for bees
Zarbee’s partners with the Bee Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting bees and strengthening their environment. One-third of the world’s food relies on bee pollination. Buying Zarbee’s products helps promote bee conservancy.
What to look for in a Zarbee’s supplement
Dark honey
Zarbee’s cough and throat supplements are based with dark honey. The color of honey comes from the flower source, but dark honey is known to have higher levels of minerals and antioxidants than lighter colored honey. Honey’s stickiness is a natural soother for irritated throats. The company began with its honey-based products and continues to build the supplement line.
Allergen-free
All Zarbee’s supplements are manufactured without common allergens for dairy, eggs, wheat, fish, peanuts, soybeans, shellfish and tree nuts.
Melatonin
Zarbee’s sleep supplements use 3 milligrams of melatonin that is not habit-forming and formulated to help occasional sleeplessness without drugs.
Chamomile
Chamomile is an herb extracted from the Asteraceae plant. It is has been recognized for its calming properties. Zarbee’s incorporates chamomile into its baby balms to help calm and soothe baby’s skin and dispositions.
Agave
For its infant products, Zarbee’s uses agave for cough relief instead of honey. Honey is risky to infants and should only be used in older children as directed. Agave coats the throat like honey but research shows that it is effective only as a placebo.
Ivy leaf and thyme
Ivy leaf extract is used in Zarbee’s products that also focus on mucus reduction. Ivy leaf is believed to thin mucus similar to the drug guaifenesin in over-the-counter products.
Thyme is a herb that contains thymol, which is a natural anti-spasmodic to help with coughs. In combination with ivy leaf, this combination can be very helpful for coughs and congestion.
How much you can expect to spend on a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are priced between $6-$20 per container. The prices vary based on product category and container size. For instance, cough medicine costs $7-$8, and cough medicine with mucus treatment costs between $13-$14. Their popular elderberry immune support products cost $10-$12.
Zarbee’s supplement FAQ
Are Zarbee’s supplements drugs?
A. Zarbee’s products are considered dietary supplements by the Food and Drug Administration. That means they are not meant to prevent, diagnose, cure or treat any illness. They use natural ingredients known to have healing properties.
Is it acceptable to give children probiotics?
A. There is clinical research supporting probiotic use by children. They positively impact the immune system and may lead to improved digestive health in adulthood.
Where are Zarbee’s products sold?
A. Zarbee’s products are available at most national drugstore chains and retail stores.

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.

That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Goalkeeper Jordan Wright saves the day as Lincoln see off Barrow on penalties
Lincoln goalkeeper Jordan Wright produced a hat-trick of penalty saves to earn the League One side a Carabao Cup shootout success at League Two Barrow after a 2-2 draw.
Wright’s heroics denied Josh Gordon, Patrick Brough and Robbie Gotts while Anthony Scully, Max Sanders and Tashan Oakley-Boothe replied for the visitors.
The Imps’ other hero was substitute Jordan Garrick, who forced spot-kicks in the second minute of stoppage time after Ben Whitfield came off the bench to fire Barrow ahead three minutes from time.
Lincoln bossed possession early on and Scully’s third goal of the season – his second in the competition – was quality and well deserved.
Former Lincoln goalkeeper Paul Farman had no chance with Scully’s curling right-footed shot.
But after chasing shadows, Barrow hit back through debut striker David Moyo after 13 minutes.
The former Hamilton Academical front man then missed a sitter as the Cumbrians took control of the tie.
Wright kept out several efforts from Billy Waters before tipping aside John Rooney’s drive from the edge of the area in first half stoppage-time.
The second half was cagier until the dramatic last 10 minutes. Whitfield looked to have won it for the home side when he converted Josh Gordon’s cross.
But Lincoln forced penalties when Garrick nipped in for a last-gasp leveller with his first goal for the club.

Dustin the Turkey CALLS OUT Monaghan Rose as she reveals she has worked on poultry ‘killing line’ on Rose Of Tralee
DUSTIN the Turkey CALLED OUT the Monaghan Rose tonight as she revealed she has worked on the poultry "killing line" on the Rose Of Tralee.
The popular pageant was back this year with host Daithi O Se after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
Andr a fun-filled television special last night featured Daniel O'Donnell, Daithi taking an ice bath and even a dirty segment.
Tonight the Monaghan Rose Rachel Woods told how she has a great love for farming and how she once had a job in a factory.
She said: "When Covid hit, I was doing my Leaving Cert so we didn't really get to finish it but a few days after my Levaing Cert I decided I needed the car, I needed a bit of freedom.
"So I went Grove Farm, a turkey factory and worked on the killing line for nine months."
Daithi asked: "What were you doing on the killing line?"
She replied: "I was pulling the hearts out of the turkeys."
This shocked viewers, one celebrity fan in particular sent in a clip.
Dustin said: "Hold on, Rachel, Daithi. Stop the show Daithi, this is a disgrace.
Most read in TV
"My poultry party are brining in a new law that every Rose from now on will have to be a vegetarian or a vegan.
"I was going to ask you to my debs Rachel, but now I have to take Claire Byrne again."
He shouted: "Save the turkeys! Vote Poultry Before People party!"
Rachel then performed a beautiful traditional piece of music on the harp.
'BIG FAN'
However the focus was still her mention of pulling hearts from turkeys.
Hannah said: "Sorry, if I was on TV and they got Dustin the Turkey on, I’d be fangirling. Big fan. Loved him on The Den. #RoseOfTralee."
Shane added: "Loving Monaghan!! Working at home on the farm and worked on the killing line at Grove Turkeys pulling out the hearts! Cows, cars, ceol & craic!!! #RoseOfTralee."
Deirdre joked: "She’s going to rip the heart out of a Turkey and play the harp at the same time #RoseOfTralee."
Jestin tweeted: "Just like the Monaghan Rose pulled the hearts out of turkeys she's pulled on heartstrings of a nation and has elevated herself to goddess status by being called out on air by Dustin. #RoseOfTralee."
POEM PROBLEM
Last night viewers all had the same complaint about the Donegal Rose's talent.
Katie McAteer spoke about her time studying Journalism and New in Limerick.
However when it came time for her talent, Katie performed a poem alongside of a clip she put together to help bring tourism to Rathmullan after the pandemic.
However in 2016, poetry was banned from the Rose of Tralee as a party piece in order to modernise the show. | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9297048/dustin-turkey-calls-out-monaghan-rose-killing-line-tralee/ | 2022-08-23T22:13:11Z | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9297048/dustin-turkey-calls-out-monaghan-rose-killing-line-tralee/ | true | 1 |

West Ham signs Italy left back Palmieri from Chelsea
Italy left back Emerson Palmieri joined West Ham from Chelsea for a reported fee of 15 million pounds ($17.75 million) on Tuesday.
The Canadian Press
LONDON (AP) — Italy left back Emerson Palmieri joined West Ham from Chelsea for a reported fee of 15 million pounds ($17.75 million) on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Emerson spent 4 1/2 years at Chelsea but was never a regular and was on loan at French club Lyon last season.
He was born in Brazil and moved in 2014 to Italy, where he was eventually granted citizenship. He played in the Azzurri’s win over England in the final of the European Championship last year.
Emerson has signed a four-year contract with West Ham with a one-year option, and is the club's seventh signing of the transfer window.
West Ham has lost its first three Premier League games and is in last place, its worst start to a domestic season in 51 years.
“It’s a big challenge for me, it’s a big team, so I’m very happy to be here and I’m ready," Emerson said.
“Personally, since the first day I arrived here in England, I always saw the big clubs and I always watched the big games and I knew the history about West Ham."

Do something
Re “Victim of Norfolk triple homicide was preparing to move when the gunfire erupted, daughter says” (Aug. 21): Concerned about the rising crime in my hometown of Norfolk, I took off work early Thursday afternoon to complete my letter to Gov. Glenn Youngkin with a wide-reaching proposal to fight crime in my city and beyond. On the way home, the sky over Wards Corner was so blue with white clouds I was sent down memory lane to when I worked there as a Tracks artist in the ‘80s.
But three hours later when I returned to Wards Corner to get my proposal notarized, yellow tape was all around blocking off East Little Creek Road and elsewhere as police investigated a double shooting with a fatality. Shortly thereafter as I received U.S. Postal Service tracking for my letter, a triple murder happened about 2 miles from the Wards Corner shooting. Both incidents in broad light. Gosh, I hope the governor reads my proposal and that the Norfolk City Council does as well. No, no, reading is not good enough. We need the support to implement this proposal by a concerned Norfolk native who asks the question — “Why would this positive campaign addressing the urgent need to thwart growing crime not have as much access to our streets and community as criminals’ bullets?”

Banned books
Our church’s book group decided to read books that have been challenged for removal from public school libraries. We wanted to judge their literary value for ourselves, comparing our opinions with those of parents who had challenged them.
All of us thoroughly enjoyed this month’s selection, “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, a coming-of-age story about Mike Muñoz, a 22-year-old Chicano gardener. “Lawn Boy” has been frequently challenged because of profanity and sexually explicit scenes. Evison, however, develops the main character’s struggle to overcome the obstacles faced by the working class realistically, tastefully, and with sensitivity and humor. “Lawn Boy” is a modern story about the challenges for minorities or people caught in the cycle of poverty and prejudice to pursue the American dream.
“Lawn Boy” was written for adults, but has also been judged appropriate for high school students. It has been confused with “Lawn Boy” by Gary Paulsen, which is appropriate for a younger audience. We hope that parents will judge books on their literary merits instead of objecting to a few passages. Our schools select books appropriate for specific age levels, welcome parental input and have an opt-out procedure. Parents should not be able to censor other families’ reading choices. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that there were more than 1,000 instances of books being banned from July 2021 through March. We should all be alarmed by this number.

Proposed rezoning
Should Suffolk City Council rezone more than 500 acres along U.S. 460 to industrial use for a proposed warehouse space (primarily)? The answer is no in my opinion. Such a rezoning produces major problems from traffic to city services by creating some 9,000 low-paying jobs. We don’t need this. The costs will be significantly greater than any benefit and must be paid for by the Suffolk taxpayer. Another dent in our quality of life.
We have excellent universities producing quality graduates at Virginia Tech, University of Virginia and Old Dominion University. A high-technology research and production area would attract these graduates with good salaries and a superior quality of life compared with some of our neighbors.
Viewpoints
Why not establish a new zoning category for high-tech development with appropriate benefits to the industry. This could be a win-win situation for both Suffolk and industry.
We have enough commercial area with warehouses. We don’t need more.

Real problems
Re “What’s the issue?” (Your Views, Aug. 19) and “Moral compass” (Your Views, Aug. 20): Reading the daily castigation of conservatives/Republicans in Your Views makes one think that if only the castigated would change their ways, everything in our country would be OK. While a bit of the lecturing may be deserved, you should take a good look around at the multiple serious problems our country faces today.
These problems are mostly or exclusively the fault of the party currently controlling Congress and the White House: rampant inflation; crime out of control in the big Democratic-run cities; the border crisis (nearly 2 million migrants processed fiscal year 2022 and God knows how many people got away, drugs pouring in and migrants from all over); a feckless foreign policy (the Afghanistan debacle, Ukraine war, China about to take Taiwan and trying to deal with the devil Iran); unwillingness to respect Supreme Court decisions by the president; a knee-jerk effort to take the country to renewable energy overnight; and much, much more.
President Joe Biden has been in office 19 months and has a dismal approval rating well-deserved for many reasons. Bash former President Donald Trump and castigate Republicans all you want, but that won’t fix any of these problems. A real leadership team (not professional politicians/ideologues) from either party will have a huge challenge undoing the current mess — if that’s even possible.

The Columbus Crew gained a point at home on Sunday night with a 2-2 draw with Atlanta United. After going down 1-0 in the first half, a pair of Cucho Hernandez goals gave the Black & Gold the lead before a late corner allowed an Atlanta equalizer.
Columbus was able to pull out the tie despite looking lackadaisical throughout much of the match This came as a surprise as the Crew was at home against a side that sits near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Let’s dive into some of the tactics that head coach Caleb Porter employed for this contest to at least avoid another loss.
Artur’s Movement
Coming back from injury, Artur has looked solid in the past few games for the Black & Gold. On Sunday, the Brazilian was all over the pitch being the do-it-all man and fulfilling two certain roles that Columbus needed on the night.
Firstly, Artur was integral in pressing for the Crew. Oftentimes, when Atlanta had a goal kick or possession deep in the team’s half, the central midfielder’s job would be to mark the split and make sure that United couldn’t advance the ball by passing between Black & Gold players in the middle of the pitch. Artur simply man marked the back of the split player and made sure that if he did receive the ball, he could not turn and transition the ball further up the field.
Secondly, Artur sometimes acted as a temporary pivot if Columbus needed an extra man to get out of Atlanta’s press. The away side opted to press very high on the Crew’s center backs, using the attackers and midfielders to create numerical mismatches for the Black & Gold’s backline. When this happened, Artur dropped in between center backs Jonathan Mensah and Milos Degenek to provide support and offer another option to break the press. If the press was broken, Artur returned to his natural midfielder position and continued the build-up play.
These little roles that Artur plays may seem insignificant, but they had a huge impact on turning the tide of the match.
Cucho Hernandez’s Runs
Something very different from the game last week against the Colorado Rapids was the spots where forward Cucho Hernandez decided to make his runs. Last week, the Colombian scored by running in on goal and hoping for a tap-in finish, but his runs were different in Sunday’s match.
When wingers Luis Diaz, Derrick Etienne Jr. or later Kevin Molino streaked down the wing, Hernandez set up shop at the top of the 18-yard box or at the penalty spot, while playmaker Lucas Zelarayan or another winger made the diving run toward goal. Hernandez hoped that the defenders would be drawn toward their own goal by these runners and then he could have an easy look for a goal from a bit further out.
This exact scenario happened on the Black & Gold’s second goal. Fullback James Sands absolutely dropped two Atlanta defenders and played a perfect ball through the defense into Hernandez’s feet, which he controlled and dispatched with little issue. These types of runs keep defenses on their toes and give the Columbus wingers and wing backs multiple options in the middle. If Hernandez is marked at the penalty spot, then Zelarayan or another winger could be open closer to the six-yard box.
What the Crew has to Improve
Although this game ended in a draw, the Black & Gold looked on the back foot for large parts of the game and yet again failed at an opportunity to grab three points at home. There are a few things that Columbus must do better if the team is to string together results and really make Lower.com Field a fortress for opposing sides.
Firstly, the Crew has to mark corners better. Out of the 10 corners that the Black & Gold face, six of the crosses were met first by a player from United. That comes to a mere 40 percent clearance rate, including the tying goal coming off of a corner. Teams that are bad at defending set pieces are every fan’s worst nightmare to watch. Needless to say, Caleb Porter and the coaching staff need to sort that out.
Secondly, Columbus needs to get Darlington Nagbe more involved in these games. In this match, Nagbe was virtually invisible, making a few passes and tackles and had no real impact on the game. A player of Nagbe’s quality needs to be the focal point of the Crew’s build-up because he can make magic happen out of nothing.
Lastly, the Black & Gold needs someone else to step up. Hernandez and Zelarayan have carried the team since the Colombian arrived mid-summer. It is good that Columbus hit on the signing of Hernandez, but there will come a time when teams are able to key on him and make someone else beat them. The Crew needs that unsung hero to step up and make some noise on the field. Diaz has been impressive over the past few games, but only time will tell if he can be that guy. | https://www.massivereport.com/2022/8/23/23317376/columbus-crew-tactical-review-black-gold-settle-for-a-point-at-home-mls-2022 | 2022-08-23T22:18:11Z | https://www.massivereport.com/2022/8/23/23317376/columbus-crew-tactical-review-black-gold-settle-for-a-point-at-home-mls-2022 | true | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — He helped lead the fight to impeach Donald Trump. She battled for people sickened by clouds of toxic soot after the Sept. 11 attacks.
At least one of New York City’s most veteran members of Congress will be voted out of office Tuesday in a Democratic primary pitting U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler against U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney in a race both hoped to avoid.
The unusual battle between incumbents who are usually allies is the result of a redistricting process that lumped Nadler’s home base on the west side of Manhattan together with Maloney’s on the east side. Both lawmakers live in New York’s newly configured 12th Congressional District.
Neither was willing to run in another part of the city.
Nadler and Maloney are joined in the race by 38-year-old Suraj Patel, a lawyer and lecturer at New York University who also challenged Maloney in Democratic primaries in 2018 and 2020. A fourth candidate, Ashmi Sheth, a former Federal Reserve Bank of New York employee, is on the ballot but did not meet fundraising benchmarks to qualify for debates.
Nadler, 75, was first elected to Congress in 1992. As chair of the House Judiciary Committee, he led both impeachments of Republican former President Donald Trump. He was buoyed in the last weeks of the campaign by endorsements from The New York Times and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Maloney, 76, was also first elected in 1992. She is the first woman to chair the House Oversight and Reform Committee. She is known for her longtime advocacy for Sept. 11 first responders seeking compensation for diseases they attribute to contamination from the destruction of the World Trade Center. She wore a firefighter’s jacket on Capitol Hill and at the 2019 Met Gala.
Few policy differences between Nadler, Maloney and Patel emerged during the primary campaign.
All support abortion rights, the Green New Deal and tighter restrictions on gun ownership. Patel argued that Nadler’s and Maloney’s generation failed to achieve Democratic goals like codifying Roe v. Wade and should cede to new blood.
Nadler and Maloney countered that their seniority in Congress brings clout that benefits New Yorkers.
Friends for many years, the two Democrats lamented having to run against each other — something that only happened after a court redrew the boundaries of the state’s congressional districts after concluding the legislature botched the process.
“I didn’t want to run against my good friend, Jerry Nadler,” Maloney said at a recent debate. “We have been friends and allies for years. Unfortunately, we were drawn into the same district.”
Still, on the campaign trail Maloney said that as a woman, she would fight harder to protect abortion rights than Nadler.
Asked at a debate how his record differed from that of Maloney, Nadler cited his votes against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, and in favor of the Iran nuclear deal. Maloney, also elected to Congress in 1992, voted the other way on all three.
Maloney also came under fire from her opponents for her past positions on vaccines, including in 2006 when she introduced legislation directing the federal government to study the debunked theory that vaccines can cause autism. Maloney insisted that she supports vaccines and regretted ever questioning vaccine safety.
The primary winner in the overwhelmingly Democratic district will face Republican Michael Zumbluskas in the November general election. | https://www.wbtw.com/news/politics/ap-politics/two-top-house-democrats-reluctantly-battle-in-ny-primary/ | 2022-08-23T22:20:42Z | https://www.wbtw.com/news/politics/ap-politics/two-top-house-democrats-reluctantly-battle-in-ny-primary/ | false | 25 |
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The recent criminal conviction of a former registered nurse due to a fatal medication error has shaken the healthcare foundation to its core. While this is not the first time a patient has been harmed from a wrong medication or wrong dose, this case sets a precedent that can potentially lead to a shutdown in reporting of adverse events, creating a cloak of silence rather than a culture of safety.
ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) PSO, the nation's largest patient safety organization, has worked diligently with healthcare providers since 2008 to collect and analyze medical errors, learn from the errors, and most importantly, share information to help providers prevent future errors. We fear that the recent criminalization of a health care provider may stifle open and transparent learning as healthcare providers weigh the risks of disclosing an error within their organization or reporting an error to a PSO for learning.
While some may hope that the conviction of a single individual for an unintended error will forcefully incent providers and organizations to do better, for the majority of the healthcare community, criminalization of providers could wipe out the years of progress that organizations have made in creating a culture of safety and transparency to talk about patient safety events and work towards improvements.
"We firmly believe that criminalizing providers for unintended harm will hinder rather than improve healthcare in the future," says Marcus Schabacker, MD, PhD, president and CEO of ECRI.
This culture of safety, and the federal legislation that supports patient safety organizations, motivates providers to voluntarily report medical errors to create a national community of learning. Patients, healthcare organizations, and providers all benefit from a culture that supports ongoing reporting and learning.
In effect, criminalizing clinicians will eliminate the open dialogue that is needed to understand the root causes of errors and apply solutions to those problems. Prosecuting even one provider ultimately punishes all providers and patients by driving patient safety efforts underground and reversing years of progress to bring patient safety to the forefront.
"While our legal system allows for the criminalization of human error even in the absence of any intent to cause harm, ISMP, along with other professional and patient safety organizations, believe the criminal charges and the guilty verdict set a dangerous precedent and have worrisome implications for safety, particularly for one of the key pillars of a culture of safety—reporting of medical errors," says Rita K. Jew, PharmD, MBA, BCPPS, FASHP, president of ISMP.
To learn more, we invite you to read in-depth coverage and analysis in the ISMP Medication Safety Alert!® newsletter article Criminalization of Human Error and A Guilty Verdict: A Travesty of Justice that Threatens Patient Safety. A list of ISMP and other resources on preventing errors with neuromuscular blockers and automated dispensing cabinets is available at this link on the website.

MORROW, Ga. (AP) — Two white Atlanta police officers who clashed with Rayshard Brooks acted reasonably during the 2020 encounter that ended with the 27-year-old Black man’s fatal shooting, a specially appointed prosecutor said Tuesday in announcing his decision not to pursue charges against them.
Officer Garrett Rolfe, who shot and killed Brooks in June 2020, and Officer Devin Brosnan faced a “quickly evolving” situation when Brooks lunged and grabbed one of their Tasers during an arrest attempt, said Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia.
“We did not look at this with 20/20 hindsight. Given the quickly changing circumstances, was it objectively reasonable that he used deadly force? And we conclude it was,” Skandalakis said of Rolfe.
The shooting happened against the backdrop of heightened tensions and protests nationwide after the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer less than three weeks earlier. Sometimes-violent protests over Floyd’s death had largely subsided in Atlanta, but Brooks’ killing set off a new round of demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice.
Skandalakis said he believes that context is important and acknowledged that encounters between police and the African American community are sometimes “very volatile,” but he said he doesn’t believe race played a role in this instance.
“This isn’t one of those cases,” he said. “This is a case in which the officers were willing to give Mr. Brooks every benefit of the doubt and, you know, unfortunately, by his actions, this is what happened.”
On June 12, 2020, police responded to complaints of a man sleeping in a car in the drive-thru lane of a Wendy’s restaurant. Police body camera video shows the two officers having a calm conversation with Brooks for roughly 40 minutes.
Then, when the officers told Brooks he’d had too much to drink to be driving and tried to arrest him, Brooks resisted in a struggle caught on dash camera video. Brooks grabbed a Taser from one of the officers and fled, firing it at Rolfe as he ran. Rolfe fired his gun, and an autopsy found that Brooks was shot twice in the back.
Police Chief Erika Shields resigned less than 24 hours after Brooks died, and protesters set fire to the Wendy’s, which was later demolished.
L. Chris Stewart, a lawyer for Brooks’ family, said Tuesday that Brooks should not have fought with the officers and that if they had used deadly force during that fight, they would have been completely justified.
“But they did not. They did not. They chose not to when they were justified. But they decided to use lethal force as a man was running away, 19 feet away,” he said.
The two officers’ lawyers have said their actions were justified and both were released on bond.
“This was the proper and only decision that could be reached based upon the evidence and Georgia law,” Brosnan attorneys Don Samuel and Amanda Clark Palmer said in an emailed statement.
Lawyers Noah H. Pines, Bill Thomas and Lance LoRusso said Rolfe will not be making a statement at this point.
Skandalakis and former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter, who was co-counsel in the case, spent about an hour during the news conference walking through the details of the encounter between Brooks and the two officers. Porter showed still images taken from videos to break down what happened once things turned violent.
Skandalakis called it “a peaceful encounter that all of a sudden becomes a violent encounter,” saying that once Brooks took the Taser from Brosnan, he assumed an offensive position.
Porter said Brooks proceeded to “beat the crap” out of the two officers after Rolfe’s lawful attempt to arrest him. Rolfe acted in accordance with Georgia law and Atlanta Police Department policy given the facts of the situation, he said.
“The police didn’t come into this encounter hot,” he said. “There was no hostility.”
Rolfe was fired a day after the shooting, but his dismissal was overturned in May 2021 by the Atlanta Civil Service Board. The board found that the city failed to follow its own procedures for disciplinary actions.
Five days after Brooks was killed, then-Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard held a dramatic news conference to announce warrants had been taken out against Rolfe and Brosnan. Rolfe’s charges included felony murder, aggravated assault and violation of his oath. Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath.
Skandalakis said Tuesday that he would file paperwork to dismiss those warrants. He declined to comment when asked whether Howard had rushed charges.
The Atlanta Police Department said in a statement that both officers are on administrative duty and will undergo training and recertification.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who was a City Council member when the shooting happened, said in a statement his “heart continues to ache” for Brooks’ family, but he respects the “independent role” that the special prosecutor played.
Two months after he announced the charges, Howard lost the Democratic primary in his bid for reelection. Just weeks after taking office in January 2021, his successor, Fani Willis, asked Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to reassign the case, citing concerns about Howard’s actions.
Willis has since gained national attention for her ongoing investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Carr initially refused to reassign the case, but in July 2021 appointed Skandalakis to take it over. | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/ap-us-news/officer-wont-face-any-charges-in-rayshard-brooks-shooting/ | 2022-08-23T22:30:21Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/ap-us-news/officer-wont-face-any-charges-in-rayshard-brooks-shooting/ | true | 39 |
(NewsNation) — Health officials in northern Michigan are investigating reports of an unidentified, parvovirus-like illness being reported in dogs.
The unidentified illness, which has killed dozens of dogs, first appeared in Otsego and Clare counties, according to NewsNation local affiliate WOOD-TV.
A report from the Clare County Cleaver said more than 30 dogs in the area died in a matter of days from the virus.
On Facebook, the Otsego Animal Shelter said dogs they’ve seen have parvo-like symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy and loss of appetite. However, when the canines are taken to a veterinarian, their parvo test comes back negative.
The illness is not affecting certain breeds more than others, Otsego Animal Shelter noted, and cases have been reported in counties around northern and central Michigan.
In a news release from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the agency urged dog owners to work with their veterinarians to ensure their pet is up to date on routine vaccinations. Health officials also say dogs and puppies should be kept away from other animals until they are fully vaccinated or if the canines are showing any signs of illness.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, canine parvovirus — or “parvo” — affects the gastrointestinal tracts of dogs and is spread by “direct dog-to-dog contact and contact with contaminated feces (stool), environments, or people.”
The virus is highly contagious, with unvaccinated dogs and puppies under 4 months at the highest risk.
According to the MDARD, canine parvovirus is not contagious to people or other animals. Also, it should not be confused with Parvovirus B19, which infects only humans.
The AVMA says there is no specific drug out there that will kill parvovirus in infected dogs.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is working with local animal control shelters, veterinarians, the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and others to learn more about the reports and try to find a cause of the mystery illness.
“Our team at the MSU VDL has the expertise to lead this diagnostic investigation, including the detection and identification of potential infectious or toxic causes,” said Kim Dodd, director of the Michigan State University Diagnostic Laboratory. “Our work starts with looking for known causes of disease, and if none is found, we’ll explore novel explanations such as new virus variants. Our team is working hard to find clear answers, and we will provide an update when we know more.” | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/a-mystery-illness-is-killing-dogs-in-michigan-officials-say/ | 2022-08-23T22:33:15Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/a-mystery-illness-is-killing-dogs-in-michigan-officials-say/ | true | 18 |
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire‘s troubles at Old Trafford seem far from over.
According to the reliable David McDonnell, the England international faces a lengthy spell out of action at United “after being ruthlessly axed by boss Erik ten Hag.”
As per McDonnell, Maguire’s most recent snub, which saw him put on the bench against Liverpool alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Luke Shaw has rendered the player fearful of being “a permanent fixture on the bench.”
“It is understood Maguire was told as early as last Thursday he would not start against Liverpool, with Ten Hag preferring Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in central defence,” the journalist writes.
Maguire’s position is said to have caused rivals to circle for the player, with Chelsea already expressing interest in the 29-year-old.
The World Cup is only months away and Maguire would face an uphill task to get into England manager Gareth Southgate’s squad, who requires his starters to be regulars at their clubs, if he was benched long-term at United.
McDonnell believes that the situation could lead other clubs to try to unsettle Maguire and lure him away from Old Trafford.
“With eight days left before the transfer window shuts, clubs could look to exploit the uncertainty around Maguire by moving for the 29-year-old, with Chelsea having already expressed interest in him,” he says.
What will worry the United captain is that the Dutch manager is set to keep faith in Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, who along with Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot formed a formidable unit yesterday night.
The same back four is expected to start on Saturday against Southampton.
“Despite retaining Maguire as captain in the summer, Ten Hag warned the £80million defender the armband would not save him from the chop if he did not perform,” the Mirror reporter explains.
“So it has proved.”
Supporters will be pleased that Ten Hag has wasted no time in imposing himself and has shown he has the courage to make tough decisions. | https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/08/23/harry-maguire-at-risk-of-being-frozen-out-long-term-at-manchester-united-report-251644/ | 2022-08-23T22:33:15Z | https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/08/23/harry-maguire-at-risk-of-being-frozen-out-long-term-at-manchester-united-report-251644/ | true | 1 |

The BC General Employees Union said it has accepted an offer to return to negotiations with the province.
READ MORE: BCGEU bans overtime work by members as job action intensifies
In a news release, BCGEU said the Public Service Agency invited them back to negotiations late Monday night (Aug. 22).
“This is a significant development, and it is the direct result of the pressure BCGEU members have applied, which includes the current job action and shows solidarity from BCGEU members and allies,” the union said.
Both parties have agreed to a media blackout and no further comment will be made.
While negotiations are set to resume, job action will continue until further notice.
Union members are currently on strike at multiple liquor distribution warehouses, which has led to rationing of alcohol at government-run stores.
The limit on alcohol purchases is also having a negative effect on pubs, bars and restaurants as they can only purchase their liquor through the BC Liquor Distribution Branch.
Cannabis stores will also be impacted as the warehouses are also responsible for cannabis products. Cannabis stores in B.C. can only source their product from the Liquor Distribution Branch.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA and Rice University in Houston will host multiple events in September to celebrate the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's historic speech at Rice Stadium, rallying the nation to land astronauts on the Moon before the end of the decade and bring the crew safely back to Earth.
The agency will provide live coverage of the final event at noon EDT (11 a.m. CDT) on Monday, Sept. 12, commemorating the speech on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's website.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will be the keynote speaker, and the program will include other agency officials, dignitaries, and local and national elected officials.
Gates to the stadium will open to the public at 9 a.m. CDT Monday. The event will feature exhibits from NASA, Space Center Houston, Rice University, and space industry partners, who will commemorate Kennedy's historic challenge and unprecedented commitment of resources that set a young space agency on the path to achieve the goal with the successful landing of Apollo 11 astronauts on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
Today, NASA is ready to launch the agency's Artemis I test flight to the Moon, a major step forward in a new era of human deep space exploration. NASA is targeting no earlier than Monday, Aug. 29, for the launch of the Space Launch System rocket to send the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I flight test around the Moon and back to Earth.
"In 1962, President Kennedy delivered a historic speech at Rice University on his groundbreaking plans for the new frontier and sending the first humans to the Moon. Sixty years later, we choose to go to the Moon – and on to Mars," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. "We are gearing up for the first test flight of the most powerful rocket in the world for Artemis I. This time, we're going to the Moon with the goal of establishing a human presence to learn how to live and work in deep space to prepare for the first human missions to Mars. We continue to build on the legacy of the Apollo program as the Artemis Generation prepares to go farther into the cosmos than ever before."
Through Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before for the benefit of all. In collaboration with commercial and international partners, NASA will establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, humanity will use what it learns on and around the Moon to begin the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
"We look forward to welcoming the community to Rice University to commemorate President Kennedy's historic speech and the important role Houston has played in shaping our nation's space program," said Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA's Johnson Space Center. "NASA's Apollo Program captured the world's attention and demonstrated the power of America's vision and technology to ignite generations of great achievements, exploration, and scientific discovery. Our leadership in space continues, as we move forward to the Moon once more and inspire the next generation of explorers, who will carry us to even greater heights."
Additional events and activities include:
Saturday, Sept. 10
- 10 a.m. CDT (11 a.m. EDT) – NASA pavilion and Industry and Research exhibits open to the public, free of charge.

Not to cause an alarm, but the ‘Community’ movie may very well happen (in a few years)
The hit TV show Community aired its last episode in 2016, but that doesn’t mean fans have forgotten about it or given up hope about more stories in the universe. That pipe dream recently inched closer to reality, with creator Dan Harmon confirming that there’s actually an outline for the long-hoped-for movie.
The movie idea isn’t new and has been teased for the last eight years, so take this news with a grain of salt, but we’ve never actually heard Harmon say it was this close before.
“There is an outline for it,” Harmon said to Newsweek. “There’s a product put together and pitched out in the world. I guess that’s how real it is.”
Ever self-aware, Harmon added a hedged concession to his statement, knowing that the news would titillate fans but could also potentially lead them down the path of disappointment once again.
“That’s probably enough that’ll make people mad when [there’s nothing] a year from now. It still doesn’t mean there’s going to be a movie tomorrow. It means there is definitely going to be one.”
He said there was no easy way to tell fans the news. For example, the fans that Instagram every day about the show, he said, are the hardest to tell.
“… how can you tell them, ‘Yes, it’s definitely going to happen, but it may be between one and eight years from now’ — which is how the industry works, especially when you factor in pandemics and whatnot.”
He understands that waiting so long for something you really want is its own kind of strain.
“It just feels like psychological torture, from a fan’s perspective, to keep looking into the backseat of a station wagon and saying, ‘Who wants McDonald’s?’ And to just keep driving down the freeway. I don’t want to be guilty of causing that sensation. It just takes so long sometimes.”
Community is currently streaming on Netflix (minus one episode from Season 2). | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/the-community-movie-may-happen-in-a-few-years/ | 2022-08-23T22:46:58Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/the-community-movie-may-happen-in-a-few-years/ | true | 1 |

LONDON (AP) — At least Fulham can now focus more on its main aim of Premier League survival.
Fielding a team full of fringe players, Fulham was beaten 2-0 by fourth-tier Crawley in the second round of the English League Cup on Tuesday.
Fulham's first-teamers have been doing much better this season on the club's return to the Premier League after promotion, drawing with Liverpool and Wolverhampton and then beating Brentford on Saturday in an unbeaten start for a club whose priority will simply be staying up.
“We were relentless in our pressing and our application," said Crawley manager Kevin Betsy, whose team has one point from five league games this season. “We stuck to the game plan extremely well. It worked. It was a fantastic night for everyone.”
Leicester and Bournemouth needed to win penalty shootouts against lower-league opposition to avoid slipping to the same fate as Fulham in the round that sees Premier League teams enter the competition, except for those clubs in Europe.
Leicester goalkeeper Daniel Iversen saved three spot kicks as his team won a shootout 3-1 against fourth-tier Stockport, after a scoreless 90 minutes, while Bournemouth beat second-tier Norwich 5-3 on penalties. That game had finished 2-2.
Other top-flight teams to advance included Aston Villa, Everton, Wolves and Crystal Palace.
Villa was the biggest winner, overwhelming third-tier Bolton 4-1 thanks to second-half goals from Danny Ings, Lucas Digne and Leon Bailey.
Demarai Gray scored Everton's goal in a 1-0 win at third-tier Fleetwood. Wolves beat second-tier Preston 2-1, and Palace won 2-0 at third-tier Oxford United.

A hearing has been scheduled for next month that could determine when Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens will be retried for murder in the 2015 beating death of Irish businessman Jason Corbett.
Five years ago, a Davidson County jury found Molly Corbett, who was Jason Corbett's wife, and Martens, her father and a former FBI agent, guilty of second-degree murder after a high-profile trial. The two were each sentenced to 20 to 25 years in prison, but the N.C. Court of Appeals overturned the convictions. Last year, the N.C. Supreme Court upheld the decision, sending the case back to Davidson County for a retrial.
David Hall, a resident superior court judge from Forsyth assigned to the case, will hold a hearing on Sept. 21 in Davidson Superior Court, Vicky Rogers, a judicial clerk in Forsyth, said Tuesday. It was not immediately clear exactly what time the hearing will start. The last hearing on the case was held on March 11. Another had been scheduled for May 23 but was subsequently continued.
At the hearing, Hall, prosecutors and attorneys for Molly Corbett, 38, and Thomas Martens, 72, are expected to set a trial date. Last month, Garry Frank, district attorney for Davidson County, said he was hopeful that a trial could be held sometime later this year.
But no pretrial motions have been filed in the case. Before the last trial in 2017, a judge had to make decisions on several pretrial motions, including a motion asking that the trial be moved out of Davidson County because of publicity about the case.
At the hearing in March, Assistant District Attorney Alan Martin, who is prosecuting the case with Kaitlyn Jones and Marissa Parker, said he turned over more than 9,700 pages of material and other evidence.
Martens and Molly Corbett have new attorneys. Martens still has Jones Byrd, who was his attorney at the first trial, but Jay Vannoy has taken the place of David Freedman, who died last year. Molly Corbett is now represented by Douglas Kingsbery. At the first trial, her attorneys were Walter Holton and Cheryl Andrews.
Frank confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the hearing will be held on Sept. 21. He said it still hasn't been determined when a trial will be held.
Hall issued a gag order at the last court hearing in the case in March. Hall's written order was filed Aug. 10 and prohibits prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys as well as staff, law-enforcement and relevant stakeholders, from making public comments about the case.
Jason Corbett's family has publicly expressed frustration at the delays in the trial.
"We have been left completely in the dark," Marilyn Corbett, Jason's sister, told the Irish Independent earlier this month. "We don't know what is happening. The Irish Independent reported that the family has written to Foreign Affairs Minister Steven Coveney and the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ireland for help in finding out when the case might be retried.
Jason Corbett, 39, was found beaten to death in the early morning hours of Aug. 2, 2015, in the Davidson County home he shared with Molly Corbett, who was his second wife, and two children from his first marriage, Jack and Sarah. Prosecutors said Molly Corbett and Martens beat Jason to death with a baseball bat and a paving stone. They said the two crushed Jason's skull and hit him at least 12 times in the head.
At the first trial, Martens testified that he beat Jason Corbett repeatedly in an attempt to save the life of his daughter and himself after he said he saw Jason choking Molly Corbett. Molly Corbett and Martens claimed self-defense at trial.
The state appellate court overturned the convictions partly because the trial judge, David Lee, excluded statements that Jack and Sarah made to social workers at the Union County Department of Social Services and at Dragonfly House Children's Advocacy Center in Mocksville. Defense attorneys said that the children made statements that Jason Corbett physically and emotionally abused Molly Corbett. They argued those statements were critical to bolstering their claims of self-defense.
The appellate court also ruled that Lee was wrong to include testimony by an expert on blood spatter about evidence found on clothes belonging to Molly Corbett and Martens. The court said the evidence had not been tested to prove that it was blood.
Prosecutors argued that the statements were unreliable and that the children had recanted those statements. Jack and Sarah are in the custody of Tracey Corbett Lynch, Jason's sister, and live in Ireland. They did not testify at the first trial.
But they attended the hearing in March and are expected to offer critical testimony at the new trial.
The case has received extensive coverage, both nationally and internationally. At the first trial, ABC News 20/20 showed an exclusive pre-trial interview with Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens that aired after the trial. Tracey Corbett Lynch released a book, "My Brother Jason," in which she alleges that Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens committed a premeditated cold-blooded murder of her brother. She believes that the two should be charged with first-degree murder.
She is set to release a second book called "Loss and What It Taught Me About Living," that deals with the death of her brother.

Sydney’s The P.A. People are no strangers to large scale public events, and in May 2022 the team were called upon to create what is possibly one of the world’s largest temporary event communications networks and a significant audio system in Cockle Bay for Sydney’s iconic Vivid Sydney festival.
Vivid Sydney is the largest festival of Light, Music and Ideas in the Southern Hemisphere, transforming Sydney’s CBD into a fusion of creativity, innovation and technology for 23 nights from 27 May to 18 June 2022.
This year the program featured the longest continuous Light Walk in the festival’s 12-year history, spanning eight kilometres from the Sydney Opera House around Circular Quay, through the Rocks and Walsh Bay, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay and Tumbalong Park, Darling Quarter, Darling Square, the Goods Line and Central Station.
Along the Light Walk, the temporary event network provided a comprehensive IP backbone to support the distribution of content for a series of LED wayfinding signs, cameras, an emergency paging system, and centralised Sound Pressure Level monitoring. The network was based on existing in-ground dark fibre cable, temporary tactical fibre, and a range of high-capacity wireless links to achieve a high availability and resilient topology.
The network also supported the provision of internet services for both staff and various light installations, as well as connectivity to the cloud for real-time data analysis to support event operations.
As part of the communications package, in addition to the network and various end points around the event footprint, The P.A. People also provided a comprehensive communications framework to support the event team. Some 600 digital two-way radios over 44 talk groups on the Orion network were deployed, interfaced with a large Clear-Com Eclipse matrix intercom system comprising some 60 key stations installed in six separate event control rooms across the city. The intercom system was also extended with a FreeSpeak II Full Duplex system and additional Key Stations at the Overseas Passenger Terminal to provide production intercom for the opening night ‘First Light’ Welcome to Country and performance and the Paramount+ Drone Show at Vivid Sydney – the largest in the Southern Hemisphere
Meanwhile back in Darling Harbour, a second team was busy providing the audio system to support Oracle Liquid’s Sydney Infinity liquid and light show on Cockle Bay. Comprising some 24 Bose SMS118 subwoofers and 48 Celto CMP10 10” coaxial cabinets the system was powered from just six Linea Research M44 amplifiers.
“It was a privilege to be involved in the delivery of this years’ Vivid Sydney Festival,” says Dom Jones, The P.A. People’s Project Manager for the event. “After more than a year of planning and a couple of postponements, it was great to be able to get out and deliver the network and systems to support the Vivid Sydney production team, particularly given the crowds that came out in record numbers this year.”

DENVER (KDVR) — The man accused of stabbing a 22-year-old with autism on an RTD bus in June was arrested in Nebraska, according to the Denver Police Department.
Denver police said 40-year-old Jerome Brewer is being held on investigation of first-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault.
The attack happened on the night of June 30 near East Colfax Avenue and Ogden Street. The victim told FOX31 he was attacked and stabbed 10 times.
According to the victim, it all started when Brewer asked, “What are you looking at?”
“He pulled out a big blade about this big and started stabbing me. There was blood all over. That’s pretty much what happened,” the victim said at the time.
The arrest comes as RTD tapped a law enforcement veteran to lead its police department, swearing in Joel Fitzgerald on Tuesday morning.
“I talked to people that ride and use RTD and those people unanimously, not knowing who I was or what I was gonna do, just want to be safe and secure,” Fitzgerald said. “They’re empathetic to people who are unhoused, and people that are mentally ill, and we certainly understand that we have to be empathetic and we have to deliver services and help them connect with services, but we also have to be firm.” | https://kdvr.com/news/local/man-accused-of-stabbing-autistic-victim-on-rtd-bus-arrested-in-nebraska/ | 2022-08-23T22:55:10Z | https://kdvr.com/news/local/man-accused-of-stabbing-autistic-victim-on-rtd-bus-arrested-in-nebraska/ | true | 1 |
Family of 7 traveling across country suffer carbon monoxide poisoning, authorities say
NEW MADRID COUNTY, Mo. (KFVS/Gray News) – A Texas family of seven traveling across the country is recovering after they suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning.
On Aug. 21, the family’s vehicle, carrying five children, two adults and a large dog, was on the road for seven hours when the occupants noticed they were starting to feel sick in Missouri, KFVS reported.
The family stopped at a gas station when the five children became unresponsive, according to the New Madrid County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies were called to the scene to detect carbon monoxide using devices. Officials said the devices showed levels of the odorless and colorless gas, and the family was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
A spokesperson for the Missouri Medical Center in Sikeston said the family was released from the hospital and expected to survive.
The New Madrid County Sheriff’s Department was holding the family’s dog until they were out of the hospital.
The sheriff’s department urged drivers and travelers to ensure their vehicles were regularly maintained and repaired to avoid situations involving carbon monoxide poisoning.

Ralph Hasenhuttl warned off any potential suitors of Southampton forward Che Adams after his brace helped earn a 3-0 win at Cambridge in the Carabao Cup.
Adams continued his fine start to the new campaign with a goal in each half to back up his weekend efforts, when the Scotland international netted a double to inspire a comeback victory away to Leicester.
An indifferent pre-season saw the ex-Birmingham striker linked with a move away from St Mary’s but his second consecutive brace means he is halfway to his eight-goal tally from the 2021-22 season.
“Why not (stay)? He is our player. He was last season the second best goalscorer in our team so why should we let him go?” Hasenhuttl insisted.
“He enjoys this position I think, alone up front, in the middle where he is always in the box and there he has his biggest strength.
“Again it was a good message from him to show up here and show he can always be the guy who can score our goals.
“Yeah, he enjoys this position and we know what we have with Che. After a not-so-good pre-season, where he was struggling a little bit for goals, he is now on fire and this is what he should be.”
Adams put Southampton ahead in the 16th minute when he poked home a cross by debutant Lewis Payne.
While the Premier League side dominated the first half, their advantage remained only one at the break but Adams extended their lead 10 minutes into the second period.
Oriol Romeu tried his luck from 22 yards and despite Will Mannion making a fine save, Scotland ace Adams was on hand to convert on the half-volley.
Teenage substitute Dominic Ballard wrapped up a fine night for Southampton with a third late on when he rifled into the roof of the net at the second time of asking on his debut.
Hasenhuttl added: “It was a beautiful evening. It was fantastic to watch. People are really good, good crowd and I really enjoyed to play here.”
Cambridge boss Mark Bonner joked his side were beaten before kick-off.
He revealed: “We sat in the changing room before the game and the highlights of the Premier League games was on. It was Adams scoring an overhead kick (against Leicester) so I am not sure that was great for our motivation!
“But we will be better as a team and as a squad for tonight.”
