Beloved North Preston pastor to give final sermon Sunday
Sunday's sermon will be the last for Rev. Wallace Smith Sr. as the leader of St. Thomas Baptist Church in North Preston, N.S..
The senior pastor for more than 21 years and member of the gospel group, The Sanctified Brothers, is stepping down from the pulpit.
"Coming in here on Sunday morning is going to be — I don't know how I'm going to get in here," Smith said in an interview with CBC Mainstreet's Jeff Douglas.
"This is where I was born and raised. Everything that happened to me [and] my family — everything happened right here in North Preston and in this church."
Listen to Rev. Smith's full interview with CBC's Mainstreet:
Smith said his retirement doesn't mean he's leaving the community or the church.
"I'm still going to be around for ... whatever assistance they need me for," he said. "I'm going to make sure that I'm here for them because they were here for me."
The pastor said his congregation has looked to him during some difficult times.
"In a week, two or three people would call to say, 'Could you bury so and so,'" he said. "There was a lot of bending my knees and … praying for people and comforting people."
He credited the faith of the community for its successes despite being "degraded" historically. North Preston is the province's largest Black community.
"It was back in the day when we were not supposed to be here," he said. "But here we are."
Smith said he wanted to bring the musicality he learned at a young age into the church.
Listen to Rev. Smith's granddaughter reflect on his career:
"He's definitely [a] world-class talent and singer," Smith's granddaughter Reeny Smith, also a well-known musician, said in an interview with CBC's Mainstreet.
"Especially for musicians, you notice when somebody has those extra qualities," she said. "He has every extra quality to set himself apart from other singers."
She said her grandfather's vocal range is what makes him stand out as a singer.
"He can hit hit the same notes that I can," she said.
She said her grandfather has an "ability to touch people" through more than his music.
"Our community — some of the hardships that we've gone through — the pastor is the one who tries to keep everyone together," she said. "He takes on all that pain, that burden, silently."
She said his passion for his work and transparency about his past resonate with the community.
Before taking the cloth in his 50s, her grandfather worked for the Department of National Defence, Reeny Smith said.
"He tells this story quite often about being at work and ... that's where he kind of had his revelation," she said. He realized he wasn't walking in "his destiny," she said.
When he took up the leadership of the church, she said her grandfather was able to bring in people who others in the community didn't think would ever come to church.
"People knew him before he became a minister," she said. "They knew what his life looked like and it reflected theirs."
Her grandfather went "head first" into expanding the church to accommodate its growing congregation, she said.
"He went in [with] no fear and he accomplished something great," she said, but about a decade later, the church was damaged by a fire.
"I saw how he kind of carried the church through that situation," she said. "How strong he was and how he really assured people that things would be better on the other side of that."
She said that experience showed the congregation how dedicated he was to the church. "He's a giant," she said. "He means everything."
Wallace Smith's message to his community in his retirement is to "keep the faith."
"[I'm] hoping that whoever comes in to fill my shoes will take you further," he said. "I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, but when I look around and see all of the things that have been accomplished ... it's something that I never dreamed that would happen."

Back from a lacklustre run in the Belmont Oaks, the Joseph O’Brien-trained Agartha made all to land the Group 3 Coolmore No Nay Never Fairy Bridge Stakes in Tipperary.
Ridden by Declan McDonogh, the Caravaggio filly, a Group 2 winner as a juvenile and sent off 6-4 favourite, kept on gamely in the closing stages to beat stable-companion Night Of Romance by a length, with Spring Feeling third.
“She deserved to ger her head in front again,” said a delighted McDonogh. “Things didn’t work out for her in America, but Joseph gave her a chance when she came home and she’s been working really well.
“She was lugging off the rail a bit and idling in front, but she had plenty left. She loves Leopardstown and I’d say she might head back there for the Matron now.”
The other stakes event on the card, the listed Abergwaun Stakes proved a thriller as British raider Tees Spirit, drawn high, made all under Barry McHugh and pipped favourite Erosandpsyche and Moss Tucker by a nose and the same, in a time of 56.47 seconds.
Tees Spirit was a second listed winner for trainer Adrian Nicholls, who won the race three times as a jockey, for his late father Dandy, on Inxile 2011 and 2012 and Peace Offering back in 2006.
“Ireland has always been good to me,” he explained. "It’s great to train a winner over here. He’s a good horse, on the up. I picked this race a while back, because I thought the track would suit him and it has worked out great.”
Winning rider McHugh added: “He’s a very speedy horse and the track played to his advantage. It rode like a very good race and, to be honest, I thought I was pipped.”
The Aidan O’Brien-trained Library made it third time lucky when taking the Camas Park Stud 2-Y-0 Fillies Maiden.
Ridden by Seamus Heffernan, the Ballydoyle filly was in front after more than a furlong, dictated things until skipping clear turning for home, and stayed on to beat promising debutante Bella Blue Eyes.
O’Brien said: “The plan was to get a lead, but there was no early pace, so Seamus let her dawdle along in front, gave her a breather on the turn before kicking for home. We’ll look for a stakes race now, probably the Ingabelle at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend.”
On a night when the O’Briens bagged four winners, Donnacha completed an early double, highlighted by the comeback success of English Cambridgeshire entry Emporio, confidently ridden by Gavin Ryan to see off Alessandro Algardi and favourite Longbourn.
Gelded since his last outing, in June of last year, Emporio triumphed by three-quarters of a length.
“He’s had plenty of soundness issues, but he’s a horse with a lot of talent, so he was worth waiting for,” his trainer explained. “We’ll see how he comes out of this before making plans.”
First leg of Donnacha’s double was Blindsided (Paddy Harnett) who made all to beat longshot Fendi in the two-year-old claimer, prompting his trainer to comment: “He’s a grand horse, with ability, and the blinkers helped him - he’ll probably go back into nurseries.”
A three-time winner at the 2019 Galway Festival but without a success since the September of that year, the Matt Smith-trained One Cool Poet bounced back to winning ways when, under a perfectly-judged ride by Bryan Cooper, he landed the Pilgrims Handicap Hurdle in Down Royal.
The 10-year-old came from off the pace for a smooth, six-length victory over Doyenna, prompting Cooper to declare: “He was like a bull going to the start, fresh and well, and rode like a five-furlong sprinter. Matt told me he barely gets the trip and to ride him for luck.”
The Gordon Elliott-trained The Insider (Davy Russell) retained his unbeaten record over hurdles when justifying 6-4 favouritism in the opening Hovis 3-Y-0 Hurdle, outpointing Bringbackmemories.
He was first leg of a double for Cullentra House, secured when 2-1 favourite Salvador Ziggy (Jack Kennedy) completed a hurdling four-timer and remained unbeaten since joining Elliott when landing the featured Linden Foods Hurdler at the expense of Off You Go, following the dramatic exit of Home By The Lee (ran out) at the second last. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/racing/arid-40948772.html | 2022-08-26T22:01:51Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/racing/arid-40948772.html | true | 1 |
Former West Lauderdale Knights coach the next generation
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - All schools are filled with history and West Lauderdale is no different.
It’s home to students who are the future of the magnolia state, but it also is home to former Knights who found their way back to the kingdom.
“Oh yeah, it was a no brainer,” assistant football coach Hunter Townsend said. “I mean it’s home, as far as I’m concerned it’s the best job in the state of Mississippi so it was a no brainer,” he said.
“I still wanted to live around here, my family is here and it’s just , I know it’s always been a great school and I really enjoyed it. Especially the soccer part,” assistant girls soccer coach Celeste Boswell said.
West Lauderdale athletics is being paved by former student athletes who learned from this school and want to apply the same teachings they learned growing up.
“I just try to teach my kids to not make the same mistakes I did like going through school or going through practice,” assistant football coach Jeremiah McKee said. “Anything like that. Just try to teach them to be better people,” McKee said.
“I just want to teach them to really have that want like you have to want it more than anything,” Boswell said. “That’s more important than just skill and sports can be their way of escape so you just have to want it, you have to act as a team because that can bring you down. You may be the best skill wise but if you’re not lifting each other up, then you’re not going to succeed,” she said.
“Just want them to be good people,” Townsend added. “I think the best thing probably about our school is tomorrow night we are going to have so many kids come back and they want to be apart of the program even after they graduate,” he said.”
Inside of West Lauderdale walls, there are so many stories to be told and the kingdom is home to families who continue to tell them. Kristy Wooldridge is the former head girls basketball coach at West Lauderdale and both of her children, Mason and Mallory, attended West Lauderdale and now both coach and teach at their alma mater.
“It’s pretty fun cause I get to bother them a lot,” Mallory George said. But I’ll bring them snacks or leave them candy in their mailboxes and they help me if I ever need anything too,” she said.
George is the assistant girls basketball coach.
Volleyball and soccer coach Mason Wooldridge spoke on the pros of working with his family and at his old school.
“It’s just a tradition of excellence and great community, great school, great people to work with,” he said.
“As a parent, you always worry about their future and you worry about careers and as a teacher, you’re always focusing on that and teaching what do you want to be when you grow up and all of that.,” Kristy Wooldridge said. “And so just watching them go through that process of making that choice and then come back home here at West Lauderdale is just an awesome thing,” she said.
With most of the teachers and coaches being former knights, you can be sure that the future is bright at West Lauderdale.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — In a school zone on South George Washington Highway in Chesapeake, cars swoosh by quickly in a 45 miles-per-hour speed zone. It's busy with drivers rushing to get to their next destination.
Chesapeake police officers say it seems simple to slow down when the lights flash yellow on a 25 mph sign in a school zone. However, they say it can often be easy for drivers to become consumed by the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.
Officer Marc Lawrence who coordinates Chesapeake police's "Photo Safe" initiative said many can forget school is soon to be back in session.
"The interstate is right here," said Officer Lawrence, referring to the South George Washington Highway. "So, people are concentrating on trying to get to work, get off work...they forget."
In April, Chesapeake police officers implemented a new strategy to capture people speeding through school zones.
Ten stabilized cameras and two mobile camera units are now set up to catch anyone in a rush.
"This system is here because we've heard the complaints and there's been enough to say this is a problem and this system can help us fix this problem while achieving our current goal of highway traffic safety and our limitation on manpower," said Lawrence.
Officer Lawrence said drivers can face a $100 fine if caught speeding.
He said all violations caught by the camera are sent to the police department, where officers review them before sending them off.
However, Lawrence said this new system isn't meant to ruin a driver's day. It's meant to remind drivers that students are likely crossing the street.
"In order to make our roadways safe, we have to work together," said Lawrence. "The best rule of thumb is if those flashing lights are on, go 25 [mph]."
Chesapeake police officers said they recorded about 1,400 drivers speeding in school zones in the last two weeks of May. That resulted in approximately $140,000 in fines. This happened before summer school even started.
"During summer school, we did have a large amount of violations that came through. I think that toward the end of summer school, we did see a change, where we weren't getting as many," Lawrence explained.
He said his team is analyzing data from this summer to determine future plans for this initiative. Right now, Lawrence's team is monitoring what these cameras record as they get ready for the first full year of school with this new system.

Rangers add Dallas Keuchel, scheduled to start Saturday
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Former AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel was added to the Texas Rangers’ taxi squad on Friday and is scheduled to start Saturday at home against the Detroit Tigers.
The 34-year-old Keuchel was signed to a minor league contract on July 25, five days after the Arizona Diamondbacks designated him for assignment. He went 0-2 in four starts for Arizona after beginning the year 2-5 in eight starts for the Chicago White Sox.
A free agent after this season, Keuchel had a 2.31 ERA in four starts for Triple-A Round Rock.
Over his 11-year career in the majors, he’s 101-89 with a 3.92 ERA. Keuchel was the 2015 Cy Young winner with Houston after posting a 20-8 record.
“It’s been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride, not something I foresaw a few years ago,” Keuchel said before Friday night’s game. “Just took a step back and realized what’s made my career so far and that’s just being me and not worrying about anything.”

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate
LAS VEGAS (AP) — As parts of rural Nevada plan to count ballots by hand amid misinformation about voting machines, the Nevada secretary of state’s office on Friday approved regulations for counties to hand count votes starting as soon as this fall’s midterm elections.
But the revised regulations will no longer apply to the one county that has been at the forefront of the drive to count by hand.
That’s because Nye County, in the desert between Las Vegas and Reno, will also use a parallel tabulation process alongside its hand count, using the same machines that are typically used to count mail-in ballots. All ballots in Nye County will resemble mail-in ballots, interim Nye County Clerk Mark Kampf said in an interview earlier this month.
Nye County is one of the first jurisdictions nationwide to act on election conspiracies related to mistrust in voting machines. Nevada’s least populous county, Esmeralda, used hand-counting to certify June’s primary results, when officials spent more than seven hours counting 317 ballots cast.
The long-time Nye County clerk resigned in July after election conspiracies led to a successful push to hand count votes.
Kampf, her replacement, has falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. He has vowed to bring hand counting to the rural county of about 50,000, alongside the parallel tabulation process using machines.
The Nevada secretary of state's office changed the hand counting regulations after Kampf and others criticized them during an Aug. 12 feedback session. The state officials changed the definition of “hand count” to apply only when it is the only method of counting ballots.
The rules require bipartisan teams of at least four people to count the votes, mandate spacing between tables and require room for observers, among many other provisions. State officials originally said the teams could count batches of 20 votes at a time but increased the number to 50. Kampf had criticized the lower number of votes per batch, saying it would be more efficient for the teams to count 50-vote batches.
“I think this represents a good partnership with the secretary of state’s office in refining these procedures,” Kampf said Friday.
The regulations take effect Oct. 1 and will last until November 2023, though officials hope to adopt them permanently.
Four voting groups — Brennan Center, All Voting is Local, ACLU Nevada and Silver State Voices — had previously urged the secretary of state’s office to drop the regulations and instead ban hand counting altogether, saying that hand counting leads to more mistakes than machine voting and takes longer.
Several showed up on Friday to again speak against the changes.
Voting rights attorney Sadmira Ramic of ACLU’s Nevada chapter called adopting the regulations “a slippery slope that will have dire consequences for the state," creating more room for election errors and tampering.
“The secretary of state’s office, by passing these regulations, is condoning the use of hand counting while ignoring the urgency of the issues that such procedures will produce,” she said.
She also criticized a lack of enforcement or consequences for counties that don't follow the rules.
Deputy Secretary for Elections Mark Wlaschin previously acknowledged in an interview earlier this month that there is no enforcement mechanism outlined in the regulations.
He said his office has considered “a number of contingencies” for noncompliance. Part of ensuring compliance falls on the secretary of state’s office, he said, and part of that role falls on county clerks.
Hand counting supporters have described the old-fashioned method as a way to address distrust in elections, especially unproven claims that voting machines are prone to hacking and are untrustworthy. Experts have said hand-counting is far more time consuming and exposes the process to more errors.
Wlaschin has said the new rules will help counties that decide to switch to hand-counting systems, preventing clerks from drawing up rules from scratch. The regulations will also create a uniform structure so the state can ensure the counting is valid in the counties that decide to only use hand counting, of which there are currently none.
But questions remain about the implementation of the regulations and how they will unfold in counties that vary in population, size and differing political leanings.
Humboldt County Clerk Tami Rae Spero said in an interview it would be difficult to follow the guidelines that require finding bipartisan vote counters and the physical space that will be needed for observation of the hand counts.
At a hearing earlier this month, Wlaschin asked Kampf if Nye County planned to eventually phase out the parallel tabulation process, leading to an all-hand count.
Kampf responded: “I hope we can prove to you and to those who are doubting and have significant doubts that it can work, that you’d make that decision at that point in time.”
Some Nevada state lawmakers will discuss next week whether to reign in efforts by rural counties to count votes by hand.
At an interim legislation session Monday for the committee on legislative operations and elections, lawmakers are scheduled to deliberate whether to draft a bill requiring counties that discontinue using voting machines to return state funds given to them for the machines.
The bill would not be voted on until at least February, when Nevada’s next legislative session begins.
The hearing for the hand counting regulations on Friday came as several Nevada Republicans in key races have repeatedly questioned the results of the 2020 election without evidence.
Senate candidate Adam Laxalt led former president Donald Trump’s campaign in Nevada and filed paperwork in an attempt to overturn the state’s 2020 result.
Republican secretary of state candidate Jim Marchant has made election distrust central to his platform and has repeatedly denied the results of the 2020 election.
In February, he told voters that “your vote hasn’t counted in decades.”
He also worked with Kampf to design the hand-counting plan in Nye County and hopes to spread it across the country.

Mafia are moving in to poach sea cucumbers. These guardians of the seabed are striking back
That delicacy at wedding banquets may have passed through the hands of criminals — and ocean health is at stake. The programme Undercover Asia finds out what one country is doing to stop the illegal trade.
LAKSHADWEEP, India: There is a treasure in the ocean so valuable that mafias from Mexico to Africa to Japan are turning their attention to poaching rather than drugs.
It is the humble sea cucumber.
This marine animal, with leathery skin and an elongated body, had a global supply worth around US$270 million (S$376 million) in 2020. Mainland China and Hong Kong are its largest buyers.
“(What) really opened my eyes were news stories (about) organised crime syndicates like the Yakuza in Japan making more money (from) sea cucumber smuggling … than they did (from) methamphetamine sales,” conservationist Teale Phelps Bondaroff told the programme Undercover Asia.
India and Sri Lanka are wildlife-crime hot spots, and the sea cucumbers around India’s Lakshadweep islands are now under threat of large-scale poaching, said Bondaroff, the director of research in conservation organisation OceansAsia.
Between 2015 and 2020, Indian and Sri Lankan authorities seized nearly 65,000 kilogrammes of sea cucumbers.
Over 70 per cent of tropical sea cucumber fisheries had been considered depleted, fully exploited or over-exploited before then, according to a 2013 study published in the journal Fish and Fisheries.
This is a threat to ocean health — and the survival of corals, which are already suffering from rising temperatures and ocean acidification due to human activity.
Sea cucumbers ingest sand and filter ocean debris, then expel clean sand in a process known as nutrient cycling. Their faecal matter lowers seawater acidity and releases calcium carbonate, a key component for coral growth.
Corals, in turn, provide food and habitat for about 25 per cent of the world’s fishes.
A study of just one coral reef in Australia found that its sea cucumbers excreted poo that amounted to five Eiffel Towers in weight each year.
“There’s a saying that every grain of sand in the ocean has passed through a sea cucumber,” said Bondaroff.
“If you remove sea cucumbers … it’s going to have a dramatic effect on (that ecosystem). It’s going to hurt other populations. It’s going to hurt the stability of the ecosystem.”
The effects are unfurling on the 36 islands of Lakshadweep, which are formed out of corals.
“Suppose all the corals die — then nothing will be there to add (to the structure), and slowly these islands will start disintegrating. They might go underwater also,” said Damodhar A T, the islands’ chief wildlife warden.
INCREASING DEMAND
As with shark’s fin and abalone, sea cucumber is a so-called treasure of Chinese cuisine and is commonly served at banquets.
Besides in mainland China and Hong Kong, it is popular among the Chinese diaspora worldwide, from Singapore to Vietnam to the United States.
In Hong Kong, 600 grammes of it can cost HK$1,480 (S$260); the most valuable species can fetch up to HK$27,500 per kg. These usually end up in the top gourmet restaurants.
In China, this ingredient was once exclusive to the very rich but has become popular among its growing middle class. Their appetite for seafood, which Bondaroff said is close to seven times the consumption in the 1970s, has driven up prices further.
Food writer and restaurateur Lau Chun, who runs Kin’s Kitchen in Hong Kong, noted that the price of sea cucumber has doubled over the past decade.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also driven up demand for sea cucumbers, which is valued in traditional Chinese medicine for its perceived immunity-boosting and infection-prevention benefits.
As practitioner Ng Ching Chuen noted, some studies have found sea cucumbers to have “a great regrowth rate”. They can push their innards out to immobilise a predator and grow new ones within a couple of weeks.
“We make use of these advantages to maintain our health, for example in post-illness care … diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hepatitis,” said Ng.
Since the 1980s, however, sea cucumber populations across the world have been devastated by overfishing, so much so that 24 countries have since imposed temporary bans on sea cucumber fishing.
In India, the collection of and trade in sea cucumbers have been banned since 2001. Under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, the marine animal is listed alongside mammals like rhinoceros and tiger.
But the illegal trade in it has only intensified.
LEGAL TRADE EXPLOITED
Four hours away by boat, in Sri Lanka, fisherman can fish for sea cucumbers if they have a licence for fishing, diving and transport.
In 2016, after the country’s sea cucumber population had declined, the government reduced the number of permits issued by 25 per cent, instead of imposing a ban.
But the profits are so good that a local fisherman, who goes by the name of Maduranga, is also fishing at night despite already having a proper licence to fish. Sea cucumber fishing at night is banned in Sri Lanka.
Maduranga said his 20-strong crew each can make up to 2.3 million Sri Lankan rupees (S$9,000) a month if they get a good haul of sandfish, a high-value species of sea cucumber.
It can go for 47,000 Sri Lankan rupees per kg, compared with the disco sea cucumber species at 27,000 Sri Lankan rupees per kg, he said.
When processed into the prized delicacy called beche-de-mer, this dried sea cucumber product can fetch up to US$1,000 per kg.
To cash in on the lucrative business, some fishermen in Sri Lanka have even taken to “fish laundering”: They take advantage of the country’s legal trade to acquire stock from India, where sea cucumber fishing and exports are banned.
“You’ll have a sea cucumber that’s illegally caught in Indian waters smuggled into Sri Lanka to enter markets in Southeast Asia legally,” said Bondaroff.
“It’s now seemingly a legal product because it’s been laundered through the Sri Lankan sea cucumber legal fishery.”
A LIVELIHOOD, AND A CRIME
In the Gulf of Mannar, located between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu in India, organised crime is taking place “increasingly”, said B Jabez, a forest ranger officer of Ramanathapuram district in the Indian state.
And the district’s fishermen have become poachers because of the ban, said one of them who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We’ve been fishing for sea cucumbers for many years,” he said. “This is our only livelihood.”
Today, if they fish day and night, they can catch anything from 10 kg to 300 kg. For 300 kg, he can get 3,000 to 4,000 rupees ($52 to $69 SGD), added the poacher.
“We know we are going against nature. But there are many obstacles for us in every season… We struggle during rainy and stormy weather. No one from the government comes to see how we are suffering.”
The illegal activities do not end with him. A trader buys over the poacher’s catch and sends them to Sri Lanka.
“When we go from here, at a distance of three kilometres, we change boats. Then, after another four kilometres, another boat. Then, after another eight kilometres, another boat. We have to keep changing again and again,” said a trader who was tracked down by the Undercover Asia team.
The trader claims he’s just a middleman in a complex and hierarchical crime chain. His role is to hand his haul of sea cucumbers over to a bigger agent who collects from small-time traders like him.
Overseeing the entire process, are local criminal gangs, he added.
“They have the full support of some policemen. They pay bribes to them to get things done.
They have political support, so you can’t do anything to them,” he said.
These kingpins are often not physically involved in the operations, said Tamil Nadu forest ranger officer Sathish Sundaram.
“So, in many cases we know the kingpin is involved but we couldn’t mention his name in the cases actually,” said Sundaram.
In fact, the operations have become more sophisticated and elusive. According to Bondaroff, there have been cases where getaway drivers are being used to transport the haul. Some also consolidate catches in stockpiles by burying their catch underground until they’ve amassed enough.
When bringing the haul across waters, they’d attach a tracking device and drop the load into the ocean for it to be picked up by another vessel.
The catch often ends up 4,000 miles away in Hong Kong, which has a free trade status. That means duties or tariffs on imports of most products, including foods, are not imposed, allowing illegal trade to thrive unchecked.
63 per cent of sea cucumbers in the world, at least, are traded through Hong Kong, said Bondaroff.
FIGHTING BACK
With sea cucumber population dwindling across the coastal Tamil Nadu region, the mafia are coming for the Lakshadweep islands, which for millenia, have seen a thriving population of the marine animal.
“Kingpins from the mainland use our fishermen. They lured them and got them into the job,” said Damodhar, the chief wildlife warden there.
In 2020, he set up a sea cucumber protection task force comprising officials from the local coast guard, police, fisheries department and the forest department. Together with around 200 marine protection watchers, they monitor three anti-poaching areas in the region round the clock.
The results are telling. Since the task force was set up, Damodhar and his team busted an international smuggling racket and seized 800 kg of sea cucumbers worth almost a million US dollars.
It was one of the largest seizures of illegally caught sea cucumbers in the world.
“Helicopters were used to shift the offender. That was the first of its kind… Subsequently, four major cases which we have registered were handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, New Delhi,” said Damodhar.
“Till now we have seized around 2,500 kg or more than 2.5 tons of sea cucumber in terms of quantity. It’s around 45 to 50 crores (S$784,000 to S$872,000).”
But that is perhaps only 1 or 2 per cent of the actual total offences that occurred on the islands, he added.
The Lakshadweep authorities have also set up a “community-based conservation reserve”, said Damodhar, where sea cucumbers are actively protected. While their numbers have already risen dramatically, he added, it has also lured poachers to the pristine island.
To address peoples’ livelihoods, the Sri Lankan government is trying to introduce aquaculture, or sea cucumber farms, to local fisherman. But the drawback is that it takes eight to ten months for the sea cucumber to grow from a juvenile to an adult of marketable size.
In the meantime, fishermen still rely on illegal fishing, despite its dangers.
Perhaps the best way forward is in reducing the sky-high demand for sea cucumber.
“It involves educating consumers about the products that they consume and the impact that that has on the environment,” said Bondaroff.
“Reframe these so-called luxury seafood items as gutter food, show people that their food that they eat at a fancy wedding, at a banquet to show off to their family, at one point in the supply chain is handled by criminals.” | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/cna-insider/mafia-poach-sea-cucumbers-seabed-india-sri-lanka-2901626?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-08-26T22:22:38Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/cna-insider/mafia-poach-sea-cucumbers-seabed-india-sri-lanka-2901626?cid=cna_flip_070214 | false | 1 |
Arizona GOP Senate candidate attempts to soften anti-abortion stance in pivot to general election
By Dan Merica and Michael Warren, CNN
Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters attempted to tone down his position on abortion Thursday, scrubbing his website of his support of a “federal personhood law” and a host of other strict anti-abortion positions while releasing a video in which the Republican nominee took a softer stance on the issue.
The shift signals the potency of abortion in the 2022 midterms and the fact that Republicans candidates, many of whom backed tough abortion restrictions during their primaries, now believe they need to soften those positions as they face a broader, less conservative electorate.
Masters’ website previously said he was “100% pro-life” and noted his support for a constitutional amendment that “recognizes unborn babies are human being that may not be killed” and the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and a slew of other legislation that would make it illegal to perform an abortion 20 weeks after conception.
Masters in a 2021 interview labeled himself “unapologetically pro-life” and argued that the “federal government has a role to play” in the abortion debate by recognizing “federal personhood” at a certain point in pregnancy, leading to “absolutely no abortions” past that point. He also said that abortion rights activists were “demonic” and that abortion is a “religious sacrifice to these people.”
Masters is now looking to modify those views, with his website using more careful and less specific language on abortion and the candidate putting out a video that looks to scale back his strict positions.
Instead of saying he supports a broad constitutional amendment on abortion, Masters’ website now says he supports one that specifically “bans late term (third trimester) abortion and partial-birth abortion at the federal level.” Instead of listing the litany of abortion legislation he supports, the website now just broadly states that he supports “pro-life legislation, pregnancy centers, and programs that make it easier for pregnant women to support a family and decide to choose life.” And while his website previously noted his support for ending “taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood, all other abortionists, and any organization that promotes abortion,” it now singles out Planned Parenthood, removing the reference to “abortionists” and other groups.
Archived versions of the website are not available on the Wayback Machine, a popular internet archive, but screen shots were provided to CNN. NBC News first reported on the changes to Masters’ website.
A person close to Masters told CNN that the Republican candidate designs, codes and updates his website himself — and that his recent updates to the abortion section reflect his desire to use his policy section as a “living document” rather than an immutable record of his positions.
This person said that Masters’ views have not changed and that he still holds the positions he has scrubbed from the site.
A spokesman for Masters echoed this in a statement provided to CNN.
“Blake is 100% pro-life. That hasn’t changed,” said Zach Henry, a communications aide to the Masters campaign.
A spokesperson for the campaign of Sen. Mark Kelly, Masters’ Democratic opponent, lambasted the Republican for the attempted shift.
“If Blake Masters thinks that he can quietly delete passages from his website and disguise just how out of touch and dangerous his abortion stance is, he’s in for a rude awakening,” said Sarah Guggenheimer. “No embarrassing pivot can hide the truth: Masters has called abortion ‘demonic,’ a ‘religious sacrifice,’ and backs a national abortion ban. Arizonans know the truth and won’t fall for this.”
Kelly Dupps, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Votes in Arizona, called Masters’ move “desperate” and “sad but unsurprising.”
The person close to Masters said that while his website has removed the reference to his support for a federal personhood law, Masters still supports a version of that idea. This person pointed to an interview earlier this month with The Arizona Republic in which Masters said he viewed the concept of “personhood” as beginning during the third trimester of pregnancy, which is later than when other proposed personhood legislation would provide protections to fetuses.
Around the same time he edited his website, Masters tweeted out a campaign video that cast his abortion views as “common sense,” using his updated positions to attack Kelly.
“Look, I support a ban on very late-term and partial birth abortion. And most Americans agree with that,” he says in the video.
Masters’ shift shows the difficult position some Republicans find themselves in on abortion, especially those running in competitive states. Since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier in the year, a series of elections have signaled Democratic enthusiasm around the issue of abortion with voters in Kansas keeping abortion protections in their state’s constitution and a House candidate in upstate New York winning a special election by making abortion the top issue of his campaign.
“It’s no surprise that Republicans are trying to mislead voters and hide their deeply unpopular positions on abortion rights,” said Christina Reynolds, a top operative at EMILY’s List, which backs Democratic female candidates who support abortion rights. “They know that voters are willing to hold responsible the people who take away their rights and they are concerned about their elections.”
Masters’ race against Kelly is one of the most closely watched Senate campaigns of the 2022 midterms. Kelly has amassed a sizable war chest in the race against Masters, raising $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 alone. Kelly has used the money to blanket the state in ads, spending around $16 million on television and radio ads between the start of May and late August.
Masters, however, was locked in a contentious Senate primary until early August, spending only a fraction of that on television ads during the same time. While Republican groups and committees plan to spend millions on Masters’ behalf for the general election, some Republicans are concerned that Kelly’s ability to define his Republican opponent early could make it difficult to win over voters in the final three months of the campaign.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ended his trip to the Canadian Arctic on Friday, highlighting the threats to the region posed by both Russia and China.
Standing next to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at one of the main fighter bases in the north of the country in Cold Lake, Alta, Stoltenberg gave a list of actions taken by Moscow in the High North in cooperation with Beijing.
“Russia has created a new Arctic command,” he said. “He opened hundreds of new and former Soviet-era military installations in the Arctic, including airfields and deep water ports. Russia is also using the region as a testing ground for many of its new weapons systems.”
He added that China is also expanding its presence and has declared itself a “subarctic” state with plans to build the world’s largest icebreaker.
“He is investing billions of dollars in energy infrastructure and research projects in the High North,” Stoltenberg said.
“Beijing and Moscow have also pledged to intensify practical operations in the Arctic. This is part of a deepening strategic partnership that challenges our values and our interests.”
- NATO chief visits Arctic defenses as Canada is forced to guard the High North
- Arctic sovereignty message resonates with prime minister’s visit to western Nunavut
- Experts say NATO chief’s first visit to Canadian Arctic signals thaw in Ottawa
Stoltenberg also stressed the growing interest of NATO in the defense of the Arctic, especially in light of the plans of Sweden and Finland to join the military alliance.
The NATO chief and Trudeau have spoken of increased cooperation but have refrained from participating in a major NATO-led exercise in Canadian territory in the High North.
Talking to the CBC Power and politicsDefense Secretary Anita Anand said Allied participation in domestic Canadian military exercises was acceptable to Ottawa, but the Liberal government “has no plans” to host NATO exercises similar to Norway’s annual “Cold Response” exercise.
Yves Brodeur, Canada’s former ambassador to NATO, said the alliance’s official invitation to the Arctic exercises would send an important message to Russia.
“That would be nice,” Brodeur told Radio-Canada.
“Given the fact that the High North is actually a territory that actually offers quite hostile conditions – this is not an easy environment. as I understand it, this is a great asset for the organization, for NATO.”
Canada has traditionally been reluctant to work with allies other than the US in the High North. The reasons are related to sovereignty.
Many of the country’s closest allies do not recognize Canada’s claim to the Northwest Passage.
According to a study by University of Calgary Arctic expert Rob Hubert, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Japan, the European Commission, Singapore and Russia (when it was the USSR) over the past 40 years have formally protested or registered dissenting opinions over Canada’s declaration of that this passage is an inland waterway of Canada.
Experts suggested that asking other countries to help defend the region, especially those that do not recognize Canada’s claims, could be seen as weakening Canada’s position.
“The Northwest Passage is Canadian waters, period,” Trudeau said, answering questions with Stoltenberg on Friday.
He acknowledged the existence of “longstanding differences with the United States” but said that Washington “understood our position, and our allies, as you know, respect the position of Canada.”
Hubert said it would be “counterproductive for Europeans or Americans to ever pressure” Canada into its sovereignty claim, especially in the current geopolitical climate.
But if Canada is serious about its claims, he said, it should invest more in infrastructure – both military and civilian – to increase its control over the region.
“When we look at what the Russians have done with the Northern Sea Route,” Hubert said, “the reason nobody challenges them is because they basically created an inland waterway – nobody challenges them because the Russians have such a strong potential to defend the region.”
In his speech, Stoltenberg pointed to this ability, while avoiding any criticism of Canada. | https://printveela.com/nato-chief-warns-canada-that-russia-and-china-have-plans-for-the-arctic/ | 2022-08-26T22:35:17Z | https://printveela.com/nato-chief-warns-canada-that-russia-and-china-have-plans-for-the-arctic/ | false | 2 |
With 17 cases of monkeypox in youths up to 15 years old already reported nationwide, schools across the country are advised to be on the lookout for signs of the virus in students.
“They’re keeping a close eye on it in their states, and they’re paying attention to what their governor and their state departments of health are saying — and they’re keeping it on their radar,” Noelle Ellerson Ng, the School Superintendents Association’s associate executive director of advocacy and governance, told CNN.
Ng said schools should continue to follow the infectious disease protocols put in place for the COVID-19 pandemic, and can “review, consume and integrate as appropriate” new monkeypox-specific guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Does every school in the nation have monkeypox policy? No,” she said in the interview posted Thursday by the cable news channel. “Most schools in the nation have infectious disease policy and regulations.”
The CDC’s guidance on monkeypox for schools and other settings that serve children and adolescents spells out that although the current outbreak is associated with sexual contact, “Monkeypox virus can infect anyone — including children — if they have close, personal, often skin-to-skin contact with someone who has monkeypox.”
Less common, the agency says, is spread of the virus “by touching contaminated objects (such as toys or eating utensils), fabrics (clothing, bedding, sleeping mats or towels) and surfaces that have been used by someone with monkeypox.”
Schools and other youth settings should continue to follow what the CDC termed everyday measures to reduce disease transmission, such as staying home when sick; washing hands; and routine cleaning and disinfecting. An ill child should be assessed away from others, the agency said, and staff should have personal protective equipment.
Parents, teachers and staff should know the symptoms of monkeypox, which can mimic the flu and include a rash that develops into fluid-filled pustules that eventually scab over and fall off. Youths with symptoms should be seen by a health care provider, the CDC said, and any “stigma and fear-based exclusion” needs to be avoided.
So far, Utah has no suspected or confirmed cases of monkeypox in youths, said Emma Williams, a spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. According to the department, as of Thursday there have been 92 probable and confirmed cases of the virus in the state since May.
Nationwide, there have been nearly 17,000 monkeypox cases, mostly in men who have sex with other men. But children and teens are also contracting the virus, with 130 cases reported by the CDC through Sunday in people 20 or younger — including six cases in children no older than 5.
Of the 17 cases recorded by the CDC in children and adolescents 15 and younger, 11 cases are males and six are females. The first two cases of children getting monkeypox in the U.S. came last month in California, and this week in Georgia, one elementary school student tested positive for monkeypox and another was being tested.
Georgia’s Newton County School District said parents of students at the schools involved had been notified and “facilities employees will thoroughly clean and disinfect classrooms and other areas at both schools this afternoon to ensure ongoing safe and healthy learning and work environments for students and staff.” | https://www.deseret.com/utah/2022/8/26/23323400/monkeypox-cases-in-school-kids | 2022-08-26T22:36:54Z | https://www.deseret.com/utah/2022/8/26/23323400/monkeypox-cases-in-school-kids | false | 1 |

'Diana felt like family': Princess's wedding dress designer Elizabeth Emanuel says the royal's death left a 'void' because the public felt 'part of her life' ahead of the 25th anniversary of her fatal car crash
- Elizabeth Emanuel and her then husband David designed Diana's wedding dress
- Reflected on the loss of the princess ahead of the 25th anniversary of her death
- Said she left a 'void' because so many people felt like 'part of her life'
Princess Diana's wedding dress designer has opened up about her time with the royal ahead of the 25th anniversary of her death.
British designer Elizabeth Emanuel, who worked with Diana over a number of years, said she thought people were so touched by the princess's death because she was so personable.
'I think people just felt she was like family, that she cared,' Emanuel said. 'They felt close to her because you knew every detail of her life. It was in all the press, all the time.
Princess Diana In Her Sitting Room In Kensington Palace Looking At Fabrics And Designs, With Dress Designer Elizabeth Emanuel, Preparing For A Royal Tour
Lady Diana Spencer arrives at St Paul's Cathedral, in her wedding dress, designed by David & Elizabeth Emanuel, before her wedding to Prince Charles at St Paul's Cathedral in London, 29th July 1981.
'And there was all these things going on. And you felt, you know, very much part of her life in a way. And so when her life was snatched away, it was this big void. It was like a light being snuffed out.'
But for Emanuel, who designed the wedding dress with her then-husband, David, Diana wasn't just the icon who appeared every day on TV screens and the front pages of newspapers.
She was a real person who played a central role in her life and career.
The tale begins with a pale pink blouse the Emanuels sent to British Vogue for a photo shoot on emerging beauties.
Although they didn't know it, the beauty destined to wear the blouse was Lady Diana Spencer, who would soon be engaged to Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne.

Diana liked the blouse so much that she asked who the designers were. Then she called them. Emanuel answered the phone and made the appointment, but didn't get her name.
So she was shocked when Diana showed up at her door. By then, the engagement had been announced and Diana was famous.
But she didn't act like it. Emanuel remembers her wearing a little sweater and skirt and perhaps a string of pearls.
'She was so young and just so sweet and shy, and it was really fun,' said Emanuel, who was only a few years older than Diana.

'It was a big adventure for her suddenly to see all the clothes in the showroom. And she put a lot of trust in us, really, to come up with clothes that would suit her. And for us, I mean, wow, it was just so fabulous to meet her.'
When it came time to make the now iconic wedding dress, the Emanuels' 12-member team worked in secret to keep details of the garment under wraps.
Security guards protected the frock, which was locked in a safe every night.
Newspapers offered thousands of pounds for a sneak peak, but staff members turned them away out of respect for Diana, according to the designer.
In an era before smart phones and Facebook, the wedding dress design remained a surprise until the big day.
Emanuel compared Diana's July 29, 1981, royal wedding at St Paul's Cathedral to the transformation of a chrysalis into a butterfly - or in this case a nursery school teacher in cardigans and sensible skirts into a fairytale princess.
It was the 1980s. Big was in, and Diana walked down the aisle draped in yards of lace with a 25-foot train flowing behind her.
'We went completely over the top,' Emanuel said.
'I mean, we were young, just out of college. We said,"Let's do it. Let's go crazy." St Paul's has this huge, big aisle.
"Let's put all the frills on the lace, everything and make it the ultimate fairy princess dress". And we did that. And I don't think you're going to see another one like it.'
The wedding, which was televised around the world, was just the beginning of the public's fascination with Diana.
She was rarely out of the headlines for the rest of her life, earning a reputation as 'The People's Princess' when she hugged AIDS patients, befriended orphans and championed unfashionable topics like land-mine removal.
When her marriage finally ended, the collapse played out for all to see. Daily and in detail. That, too, struck a chord with the public.
'I think when somebody dies young, it really makes an impact,' Emanuel said. 'And Diana was the most famous woman on the planet. And she still is, really.'
Emanuel has had a long, successful career, creating designs for celebrities such as Madonna and Rita Ora.
But she isn't bothered by the fact that 'The Dress' remains a constant subject of inquiry.
'It was such a privilege and an honor to have been part of all of that, to have been part of history as well,' she said. 'I'll never tire of it because it was just an extraordinary period in my life and - it was just wonderful!' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11149787/Princess-Dianas-designer-reminisces-famous-wedding-dress-intimate-scrapbook.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-26T22:45:00Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11149787/Princess-Dianas-designer-reminisces-famous-wedding-dress-intimate-scrapbook.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 6 |

NASHVILLE, Tenn (WTVF) — It's a part drivers don't think much about until it's gone.
There has been an uptick in catalytic converter thefts. Metro Nashville Police Department officials said 1,061 converters have been stolen this year.
It was a shocking surprise for Stefanie Corum when she turned on her car to head to work. It was loud, and she said she had never heard it before.
So, she called her dad, who told her to check under the car for her catalytic converter. When she looked, and it was gone.
"I parked my car Wednesday night. Everything's fine. I got my car yesterday morning, which is Thursday, and turned it on. It was like this humongous noise — like just like my exhaust has been like gone or something," Corum said.
She said she couldn't believe the sound and the smell coming from her car after she turned it on.
Catalytic converters are exhaust emission devices used to reduce the toxic gases and pollutants created by vehicles’ engines, but to thieves, it's a way to make a quick buck.
The Tennessee Scrap Recyclers Association said one of these converters can get a thief anywhere from just $5 to $2,000 depending on the car.
This is because a catalytic converter is made of three types of precious metals rhodium, palladium and platinum.
"I just started a new job and it's just I mean, luckily, I think insurance is going to help me which is nice. But it's just like, you know, I'm out of a car. I just started a new job all the way in Franklin. And it's really bad timing," Corum said.
Nashville police said the Hermitage Precinct has the most converter thefts year to date at 235 followed by South at 210.
MNPD said the suspects are primarily targeting vehicles parked in close proximity to each other like fleet parking lots, mechanic shops, and parking garages.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of Toyota Prius vehicles that have been targeted and large trucks, according to MNPD's Auto Theft Department.
Corum said thankfully her car insurance is helping to cover some of the cost.
"What happens if I get this fixed and someone comes and takes my converter again? What do I do? You know, so I don't even know how to protect myself, She said.
AAA offered the following tips to help prevent the thefts:
- When possible, park in well-lit areas and close to building entrances.
- If you have a garage at your house, park your car inside and keep the garage door shut.
- If you own a high-clearance vehicle like a truck or SUV, store it in a secure location.
- Have the catalytic converter welded to your car's frame, which may make it harder to steal.
- Look into buying a converter-protection device that has been developed for the Prius and other vehicles targeted by thieves.
- Consider engraving your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the catalytic converter – this may help alert a scrap dealer that it was stolen and make it easier to find the owner.
- Security devices, such as locks, are available that attach to the converter, making it harder to steal.
- Calibrate your car's alarm to go off when it detects vibration.
- Carry a good insurance policy. Most insurance companies cover replacement costs if the vehicle owner has the optional comprehensive coverage, which covers damage to a vehicle not caused by a crash. | https://www.newschannel5.com/news/thousands-of-catalytic-converters-stolen-from-cars-in-nashville-police-say | 2022-08-26T22:51:56Z | https://www.newschannel5.com/news/thousands-of-catalytic-converters-stolen-from-cars-in-nashville-police-say | true | 1 |

Contract Addresses Members' Top Priorities; Provides Wage Increases and Maintains Strong Benefits
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters at DHL have overwhelmingly ratified a new national contract that provides significant wage increases, improves working conditions, and maintains strong member benefits.
Ballots were counted throughout the week, and the national contract was ratified by an overwhelming percentage of the membership. All the various supplemental agreements were approved as well.
"This contract was all about putting members first. We went into negotiations prepared to win the strongest agreement ever at DHL, and we succeeded," said Sean M. O'Brien, Teamsters General President and Chairman of the Teamsters National DHL Negotiating Committee. "Last year this company made record profits, and we demanded that our members share in the success."
The new agreement is the most lucrative national master agreement at DHL in the union's history, with significant wage increases across all classifications—for both full-time and part-time workers—retroactive to April 1.
"In all my years negotiating on behalf of DHL workers, this national agreement is the strongest one we've ever secured. We made significant increases to wages while maintaining strong benefits and improving working conditions," said Bill Hamilton, International Vice President and Co-Chairman of the Teamsters National DHL Negotiating Committee. "This contract and its supplements will allow workers to do even better at DHL—with the pay, benefits, and working conditions they deserve."
In addition to historic wage increases, the tentative agreement maintains workers' health and welfare plans and pension plans through increases in employer contributions.
Other highlights include the addition of MLK Day as an observed paid holiday; an increase of paid holiday leave for part-time workers; improved ability to take paid funeral leave; reimbursement for all required CDL costs; stronger seniority protections for day-to-day cutting of routes; and protections against inward-facing cameras in delivery vehicles.
The Teamsters also maintained the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), which could result in additional significant wage increases next year above and beyond the contractually required increases. The new agreement contains no givebacks or concessions.

Twenty-three years ago, when Matt Holliday was 19 years old, the future All-Star outfielder found himself at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, playing for the Asheville Tourists. That was at the onset of Holliday’s career, and he marked that series against the Delmarva Shorebirds with a home run.
Now there’s another Holliday beginning his career at Perdue Stadium, with Orioles prospect Jackson Holliday making his debut with Low-A Delmarva on Thursday. Holliday is a year younger than his father was at this stage, making the jump from the Florida Complex League to an affiliate after Baltimore selected him with the first overall pick in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.
Holliday learned of the connection with his father at Perdue Stadium the night before his debut. And while Holliday didn’t talk with his father about it yet, he laughed and said “I probably need to call him, see what the secret is” to hitting homers in the ballpark he’ll call home for the final two-and-a-half weeks of the season.
This is where Holliday wanted to be, as quickly as possible. The 18-year-old from Stillwater, Oklahoma, displayed what he can do in the Florida Complex League, hitting .409 with a 1.167 OPS in eight games. When he first arrived in Sarasota, Holliday admitted “it was a lot” — adapting to professional baseball as a freshly graduated high schooler.
Then he stood in for his first professional at-bat. He singled.
“It all got easier after the first at-bat,” Holliday said. “That just made everything a little easier from there. It was kind of like a summer baseball camp to start. And then once you start playing games, everything gets a little more smooth.”
Holliday wasn’t alive when his father played that series against the Shorebirds, but he has experienced minor league clubhouses before this week. When Matt would go through rehab assignments with Albuquerque and Grand Junction — affiliates of the Colorado Rockies — Jackson occasionally tagged along.
Matt wasn’t even alive when “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra was released in 1977. But Jackson strode to the plate to that track Thursday and blasted the first hit of his full-season affiliate career to deep center field for a run-scoring, ground-rule double. He also walked with the bases loaded. The winning bid for Holliday’s game-worn jersey? $8,000.
After games, Holliday checks in with his father. If his swing feels off, Holliday will send his father videos and they’ll discuss whatever tweaks need to be made. But Holliday said since starting professional ball, the Orioles haven’t made adjustments to his swing.
The work against pitching machines, though, is something he hasn’t done much of before. It helped him adjust to the velocity he sees on a nightly basis, fitting in on the field like he does in the clubhouse.
“Me and him are good friends,” said Shorebirds outfielder Jud Fabian, who was taken with the 67th overall pick in July. “For being 1-1, he’s a really humble kid. You’d never know he went 1-1. He’s all about team and other players, he’s not about himself.”
There’s a different feeling to being with an affiliate compared to the FCL, where players are centered around Baltimore’s headquarters in Sarasota.
Now Holliday is living on his own, growing up on the fly. He said “me and Grubhub are best friends,” and when he’s not at the stadium, Holliday is a typical 18-year-old.
“I watch a lot of movies and hang out with some of the players,” Holliday said, “so it’s been fun.”
Except Holliday isn’t a typical 18-year-old. His draft position, with a record $8.19 million signing bonus, shows as much. His performances in the FCL only backed that up, as well as the fact he started at shortstop for the Shorebirds on Thursday.
“It’s kind of crazy to think that he’s 18,” said infielder Adam Crampton, a ninth-round selection out of Stanford. “He’s mature beyond his years. He’s super talented and he carries himself not like a normal 18-year-old would. He’s also a great kid, too. I love hanging around him and working with him, and I feel lucky to work alongside him and hopefully progress together.”
Added infielder Carter Young, a 17th-round pick who started at second base next to Holliday: “His hitting, obviously, is very advanced for how young he is. I wasn’t at that point when I was his age.”
And yet here they all were, playing Thursday for the Shorebirds as the Orioles’ draft class takes its first steps into affiliate ball. Holliday is one of the youngest here, but he’s not wide-eyed.
After all, a Holliday has already taken a ball deep at Perdue Stadium. Maybe Jackson won’t be far behind.
Around the horn
>> Young said he signed with the Orioles over attending LSU because of the “developmental side of the minor leagues.” He arrived at LSU as a transfer from Vanderbilt and spent two weeks on campus before he opted to sign with Baltimore “an hour before the deadline.”
>> Catcher Silas Ardoin, taken in the fourth round from Texas, is the son of former MLB catcher Danny Ardoin. He said he “gets a ton of advice” from his father. “I call him every single game, ask him how I looked catching, ask him what my at-bats look like or what he was thinking,” he said. “He gives me some great advice, but at the same time, I take his advice and apply it to myself how I think it will help me best. But I want to be my own player at the end of the day.”
>> Fabian said the main tweaks to his game have been to his approach at the plate. “Not swinging at balls that are close, on the edges, because it’s hard to throw strikes,” he said. “No matter how high you go in baseball, it’s difficult to throw a strike. If you help a pitcher out, it’s going to be a lot easier for him, so basically making the pitcher’s job hard on him is what I’ve focused on.”

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — The U.S. Post Office will host a job fair Wednesday to fill positions in Clarksburg and the surrounding area, the agency announced.
The job fair will be held 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Wednesday in the lobby of the post office located at 200 Cava Drive, just off Emily Drive in Clarksburg. Positions are available with a starting pay of up to $19.50 per hour.
Positions with immediate openings in Clarksburg and surrounding areas include city carrier assistant, rural carrier associate, assistant rural carrier and postal support employee.
The agency is looking to fill positions ahead of the busy holiday season, and those left vacant through retirements. Anyone with a valid driver's license with no major violations is encouraged to apply.

The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who is close to following in the footsteps of her parents
Before their controversial divorce, Brad Pitt Y Angelina Jolie they had 6 children. Three adoptive and three biological, and among the latter is vivienne, of 14 years. The little girl is one of the last children that the couple had, since she has a twin brother, Knox.
His mother Angeline She is very close to all her children and whenever she can, she takes them on trips and never hesitates to go out and share moments with them. And that was precisely what she recently did with vivienne. The mother-daughter duo was seen in Philadelphia, where they attended one of the functions of Dear Evan Hansen.
Apparently, it is the favorite musical of the 14-year-old girl, since it is the second time that she goes to see it in the company of her mother. The same, which recently had its film adaptation, follows the life of Evan Hansen, a high school student who suffers from anxiety and begins to get closer to the family of a classmate who recently committed suicide.
The first time that Vivienne Pitt went to see the musical, it was in Los Angeles, because it is a tour that the cast is doing in the United States. According to a source close to the family, “A vivienne she loved the show”, and was so fascinated that she decided to go see it one more time.
Even during this last outing, both she and her mother came to greet the cast after the show and did not hesitate to take pictures and congratulate them on the great job they did.
The truth is vivienne increasingly shows more interest in the arts, especially interpretation, so there are several who speculate that the young woman will follow in the footsteps of her parents. It should be remembered that her debut in the cinema occurred when she was only 4 years old, when she participated in the first installment of maleficent and where he put himself in the skin of the small version of Aurora. Angeline she decided that her daughter was the best option for the role because all the girls they had tried were scared by the physical aspect of the character, and her daughter, already knowing her and having a relationship with her, had no problem.
Since then, the young woman has kept a low profile, but she never hesitates to accompany her mother on red carpets or at the premieres of her films. Maybe soon, when she is a little older, it will be her mother who will accompany her.

Veteran actor and artist Keith McDermott, known for roles in Without a Trace and in various stage productions, has spilled gossip on two gay icons, Tab Hunter and Anthony Perkins.
In an interview with Michael Musto, McDermott recounts his early days as a struggling actor in New York theater and a number of the strong personalities that touched him along the way. That includes Hunter, whom McDemott dated for a time.
“I met Tab through Larry Kert [of West Side Story],” McDermott explains. “Then, when I was in Equus, Tab called me out of the blue and said he was coming to New York, and somehow he ended up staying at my house. Thinking back, he obviously had some professional thing to do in New York and was thinking of it as an economic way to stay there. He was nice. He was sexy. He was 50; I was 24.”

McDermott goes on to say that he always had a soft spot for “daddy” types and that he and Hunter remained friends ever after. The same wasn’t true for McDermott and Anthony Perkins, whom the actor describes as “a game player” and self-loathing. McDermott says, “He’d say things to me like, ‘Have you noticed, watching my performance, what I’m doing differently?’ I’d watch over a period of time, then say, ‘I can’t see anything.’ Unlike [Richard] Burton, Tony did the same thing every night. He said, ‘I’m no longer raising my eyebrows anywhere in the play.’ I’d say, ‘Amazing.’ He once said, ‘I’ll get a word for you that can be critical, good or bad, about your performance, and you do the same for me.’ His word for me was poise. He wanted me to do a word for him, and I said unbelievable.
McDermott also describes Perkins as frequently checking out men in the audience, and claims he married a woman so he could have a more “settled” life. In the same interview, he also dishes on actors like Larry Kert, Maureen Stapleton and Richard Burton, as well as details the reasons for his retirement from acting. | https://www.queerty.com/actor-keith-mcdermott-spills-two-hollywoods-biggest-gay-icons-20190805 | 2022-08-26T23:12:58Z | https://www.queerty.com/actor-keith-mcdermott-spills-two-hollywoods-biggest-gay-icons-20190805 | false | 2 |

Nearly 30 days after ignition, the Keremeos Creek wildfire is now considered held.
The more than 7,000-hectare wildfire, burning 21 kilometres southwest of Penticton, is no longer “out of control” as of Friday, Aug. 26.
BC Wildfire Service says fire behaviour is minimal around the perimeter.
Discovered on July 29, the wildfire prompted hundreds of evacuation orders for properties in Olalla and Keremeos, as well as on Green Mountain Road and Apex village.
All orders and alerts were rescinded by Aug. 23 as activity towards occupied areas was reduced.
“Fire burning at a safe distance within the existing perimeter will be allowed to burn and self-extinguish,” BCWS wrote in an update. “Hotspots or single trees being consumed do not threaten further spread at a sufficient distance from control lines.”
With its newest classification of the blaze, BCWS says the wildfire is not expected to grow.
The Keremeos Creek wildfire remains one of three fires of note in B.C., with 79 firefighters currently assigned to work the blaze.
BCWS is reminding residents that smoke will continue to be visible from Highway 3A and surrounding communities.
The fire increased in size by 100 hectares last week, due to high winds and a pair of planned ignitions. The risk of thunderstorms remain in the forecast on Friday night and into Saturday.

Alzheimer’s disease is impacting more Colorado families than ever before. However, it disproportionately affects older Black and Hispanic Americans versus older Whites. Despite this, decades of Alzheimer’s research has not included sufficient numbers of Blacks or Hispanics to be representative of the U.S. population. This underrepresentation not only hinders research, but also restricts knowledge of how an approved therapy or diagnostic may affect the populations most likely to need it.
Fortunately, a solution to this problem is pending in Congress – the Equity in Neuroscience and Alzheimer’s Clinical Trials (ENACT) Act. This bipartisan legislation would increase the participation of underrepresented populations in Alzheimer’s and other dementia clinical trials by expanding education and outreach to these populations, encouraging the diversity of clinical trial staff, and reducing participation burden, among other initiatives. The ENACT Act would create a path to better Alzheimer’s care for all of us and address shortcomings in the way research and care is currently being delivered to underrepresented communities.
I join the Alzheimer’s Association in thanking U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Congressmen Joe Neguse and Jason Crow for cosponsoring this important legislation already. I hope that Congresswoman Lauren Boebert joins them soon.
If your family is struggling with a loved one living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, we can help!

Since WWE appointed Triple H as the new head of the creative team following Vince McMahon's retirement, fans have seen several talents re-emerge who had previously been released.
The WWE Universe and critics alike have praised the re-hires, as many felt that these performers should not have been released in the first place. Additionally, assigning new talent to the main roster has added depth to both WWE RAW and SmackDown, while creating fresh and interesting matchups.
The following article ranks each re-hire by looking at the fan response and potential impact on the brand that he or she has been assigned to. Regardless of the opinions of any one individual, fans can agree that the overall product has been made interesting again, with anticipation around who will be next.
5. Hit Row
WWE re-introduced the Hit Row tag team of Top Dolla and Ashante Adonis, managed by B-Fab, to the SmackDown roster. While fans have been supportive of the move and the additional depth it brings to the tag team division, many have noted the absence of an original member, Swerve Strickland, who has since signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Hit Row is a positive addition if WWE is committed to expanding its tag team division. However, both Adonis and Top Dolla are still inexperienced and their ability to deliver big performances remains to be seen.
Additionally, the company should consider holding off on any plans to have B-Fab wrestle in the Women's Division. She's a good personality and her promo skills are decent, but she is highly inexperienced. It's best to keep her as a manager for now.
4. WWE has brought back Dexter Lumis
Dexter Lumis has returned to the RAW brand as a babyface and antagonist to the Miz. Initially, it seems that WWE is presenting Lumis as the comedy stalker that fans became familiar with in NXT.
While the act has been popular, its shelf-life is limited and the company will have to give the character some additional layers if they hope to see him excel over the long-term. It is clear that his pairing with Indi Hartwell is still loved by the fans, so that is one avenue the company can consider if and when they bring her up to the main roster.
3. Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux
When Karrion Kross was released by the company in 2021, many fans were dismayed. It was felt that Vince McMahon and his team did not present Kross the way that made him successful as NXT Champion. For one thing, he was given a medieval character, which including wearing a helmet. Scarlett was curiously absent from the act and Kross was buried immediately upon his debut.
Triple H has been high on Kross since his days in NXT, so it's not surprising to see this move. One thing to look at is the opinion of some fans that Kross' work is not at the level of other top-tier performers. With Kross being slated to be a top heel working with Drew McIntyre, time will tell if he can rise to the occasion.
2. Dakota Kai
Dakota Kai has been an NXT mainstay for years, evolving from a shy babyface to a vicious heel. It seemed all but certain that she would be called up to the main roster until she and WWE agreed to part ways in 2021.
Kai brings much-needed depth to the women's division and is incredibly valuable to whatever brand she is a part of. Right now, she is part of a faction with Bayley and Io Shirai, but can easily stand on her own. She has also proven that when the time is right, she has the ability to get over as a babyface.
1. Johnny Gargano
Over the past several months, fans have speculated as to whether Johnny Gargano would return to WWE or sign with All Elite Wrestling. That question was answered on Monday, August 22nd when Gargano appeared on RAW.
Of all of the re-signings, this one has the most potential. Johnny can work incredibly well as a babyface, and possible feuds with Theory, Ciampa and Seth Rollins are very compelling. He has also shown that he can bring value as a heel or as part of a tag team.
No matter what the company decides, bringing back Johnny Gargano presents the best opportunity for great storylines and great performances moving forward.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Though talks are progressing, the deadline to finalize plans to build the Buffalo Bills' new $1.4 billion stadium have been pushed back by 45 days, negotiators announced on Friday.
Without revealing the reason for the delay, the decision to move the deadline from Sept. 1 was released in a joint statement by the stakeholders in negotiations made up by the Bills, New York state and county representatives.
The statement said the sides are “making positive progress” with the timeline still in place to break ground on a new facility next year.
The framework of the deal carrying an NFL-record $850-million taxpayer price tag was reached in March in what was called a memorandum of understanding. Numerous contractual details needed to be negotiated including the terms of a 30-year lease.
Negotiations were delayed after Erie County legislators waited until July to discuss a community benefits package, which is part of the agreement to be funded by the Bills.
The project otherwise appears to be moving ahead with the Bills having already hired a firm to design the new stadium, which will be built across the street from the team’s existing facility. The stadium is expected to have a seating capacity of just over 60,000 and built without a roof, but feature a curved wall design which will cover about 90% of fans from the elements.
The Bills plan to have the new stadium opened in time for the 2026 season.

The New Arthur Ashe Fashion Brand Celebrates the Tennis Icon's Legacy
Sporty polos, throwback styles, and courtside essentials pay homage to one of the sport's greatest players.
Tennis and fashion have long-held ties, and with courtside style taking over the streetwear scene, what better time to welcome another iconic name to the fashion game? Today marks the launch of the Arthur Ashe fashion brand.
Named for the tennis legend who not only became the first Black man (and the first amateur) ever to win the US Open, as well as taking home titles at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and a doubles championship at the French Open, but also served as a outspoken activist for racial justice and for those suffering from HIV and AIDS. The brand is a partnership between Ashe's widow, photographer Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, the Arthur Ashe estate, Jack Carlson (founder of Rowing Blazers, which revived Princess Diana's iconic black sheep sweater) and Karl-Raphael Blanchard.
Drawing inspiration from Ashe himself—including the U.S. Davis Cup team warm-up suit he wore during the 1975 Wimbledon award ceremony—as well as modern takes on his aesthetic, the first collection includes tennis polos, shorts, skirts, sweats, tees, knitwear, and accessories for men and women. The brand will also have long-term philanthropic partnerships with the Arthur Ashe Legacy Fund at UCLA and Social Change Fund United.
"You have Fred Perry, a British tennis lifestyle brand named after Fred Perry. And Lacoste, a French brand dedicated to the legacy of René Lacoste. But there hasn’t been an American equivalent. Who better to represent the United States than Arthur Ashe?" Carlson said in a release for the brand's launch. "Arthur Ashe has been a hero of mine for a long time. His icy cool demeanor, effortless style, scholarly approach to sport, his will to win and determination to stand up for social justice all resonate with me deeply. The opportunity to work to create this brand has been a dream come true.”
Blanchard added, "I’m so grateful to Jeanne for trusting in us, and to all the organizations involved. This brand is here to commemorate one of our Black heroes who encapsulated style and grace on and off the court. This is the beginning of something very special."
The full line is currently available on arthurashe.com as well as Rowing Blazers, and will be available at pop-up shops in New York City, and on the grounds of the U.S. Open, near Arthur Ashe Stadium. | https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/g40990795/arthur-ashe-fashion-brand-launch/ | 2022-08-26T23:26:20Z | https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/g40990795/arthur-ashe-fashion-brand-launch/ | true | 1 |

Possible solution found for woman denied by FEMA due to flood insurance
ST. LOUIS (KMOV) - On Friday, FEMA opened a fourth disaster recovery center in the St. Louis area. The new center is at the University City Recreation Center at 7210 Olive Boulevard and will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week until further notice.
The other disaster recovery centers are at the Hazelwood Civic Center at 8969 Dunn Road, Ranken Technical College at 1313 N. Newstead, and the Developmental Disabilities Resource Board at 1025 Country Club Road.
Bre Moore went to the location in University City in hopes of getting a Small Business Administration loan for repairs at her business, Unconditional Care Services.
“The whole store is flooded, I mean completely flooded,” say Moore.
Another victim of flooding who visited the location is Carol Horth, who had more than five feet of water in her finished basement. She has flood insurance but it doesn’t cover all her costs and when she applied for assistance from FEMA, she got a letter saying she was ineligible.
“I was so livid it was beyond comprehension. And all of the publicity that everyone put out there that FEMA was going to help all of us and then I get this letter that just slams the door in my face,” she said.
News 4 checked with FEMA and learned it doesn’t pay for repairs that are already covered by a flood victim’s insurance. FEMA needs to know what a victim’s insurance will cover and won’t cover, which is usually laid out in a letter from the insurance company. Without the information in the letter, victims will be told they’re ineligible.
“That’s when you can bring that letter to FEMA and say here, this is what they’re not covering and this is what I need covered,” a FEMA spokesperson said.
Horth took her paperwork from her flood insurance company to the FEMA center and came away saying she was hopeful that she would get assistance. She said she still needs to get some estimates on repairs to know the full extent of financial help she needs.
Another issue that came up at the FEMA center is whether the agency would assist a flood victim with a flooded car if its license plates had expired at the time of the flood. A FEMA spokesperson said a flood victim wouldn’t be denied help if their plates expired a month before the flood. But the spokesperson said the agency would deny assistance on a car that’s been broken down for a long period and has been declared inoperable by the state because its license plates hadn’t been renewed for years.

New York Resident Pleads Guilty to Giving Support for Islamic State - US Justice Dept.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - A Pakistan-born US citizen and resident of New York City has entered a guilty plea to trying to send material support to the Islamic State* terror group, the Justice Department said.
"Awais Chudhary, 22, a naturalized US citizen born in Pakistan and residing in Queens, pleaded guilty today in federal court in Brooklyn to attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, a designated foreign terrorist organization," the Justice Department said in a press release on Friday.
According to court filings, in August 2019, after watching violent terrorist propaganda videos, Chudhary pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and began planning to carry out a knife or bomb attack, the release said.
"Chudhary ordered items online that he intended to use to commit a terrorist attack, including a tactical knife, a mask, gloves, and a cellphone chest and head strap. ... Chudhary was arrested as he attempted to retrieve the items from an online retailer’s locker in Queens," the release added.
When sentenced, Chudhary will face a term of up to 20 years in federal prison, according to the release.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A conservative podcaster who embraces former President Donald Trump’s discredited claims of a stolen 2020 election should be tossed from Ohio's fall ballot, where she is seeking to become the state elections chief, an Ohio justice recommended Friday.
Terpsehore “Tore” Maras vowed to appeal, if the recommendation is upheld.
“This is just another way to stymy the voices that don't fit into the neat boxes,” Maras told The Associated Press outside of her hearing Thursday.
Retired Ohio Supreme Court Justice Terrence O'Donnell made his determination against Maras on Friday, a day after an hourslong protest hearing on challenges to dozens of the signatures that had qualified her for the ballot last month, as well her decision to become an independent after failing to make the ballot as a Republican.
O’Donnell determined that 18 of 35 challenged signatures were invalid, enough to take Maras below the 5,000 required.
O’Donnell’s recommendation goes back to Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office for a final ruling. O’Donnell had been selected to hear the case because LaRose is Maras’ would-be opponent, a LaRose spokesperson said. A LaRose deputy has been handling decision related to her candidacy for the same reason.
“We appreciate Justice O’Donnell’s work and service on this matter, and our team is currently reviewing his recommendation," spokesperson Rob Nichols said.
Ohio Republican Party Executive Director Justin Bis brought the protest against Maras in his capacity as an Ohio voter. It comes in a year when dozens of mainstream GOP secretary of state candidates have faced challenges from deniers of the 2020 presidential result who seek to take over election administration.
Maras questions the legitimacy of the 2020 election and has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory on her podcast, “Tore Says.” Her platform for secretary of state includes scrapping all voting machines and returning to exclusively paper ballots, according to her website.
O’Donnell’s ruling was only the latest in Maras’ rocky effort to make Ohio’s ballot.
LaRose certified her candidacy as an independent July 19. His office determined, based on reviews by county boards of elections, that she had submitted 5,010 valid signatures, 10 more than required. The complaint by the state Republican Party executive director alleged dozens were actually invalid.
Before Maras launched her campaign as an independent, LaRose's office listed her among candidates back in February who had met the filing deadline to run in May's Republican primary. But, days later, it said her petitions had fallen short by about half the 1,000 signatures needed and she didn't qualify.
Maras had challenged that decision in court and lost.
LaRose ultimately won the Republican nomination in May over former state Rep. John Adams, who also questions the results of the 2020 election. In addition to Maras, LaRose faces Democrat Chelsea Clark, a suburban Cincinnati city council member and businesswoman, this fall. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Judge-rules-against-podcaster-seeking-to-run-Ohio-17401235.php | 2022-08-26T23:33:01Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Judge-rules-against-podcaster-seeking-to-run-Ohio-17401235.php | true | 16 |
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Friday unsealed the FBI affidavit justifying the unprecedented search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. While the document released is highly redacted, with many of its 32 pages crossed out in black blocks, it includes new details about the sheer volume of sensitive and highly classified information that was stored at the former president’s Florida beachfront home, underscoring the government’s concerns about its safety.
Here are top takeaways of what the document revealed:
TRUMP HAD 'A LOT' OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL STORED AT HIS CLUB
While the affidavit doesn’t provide new details about the 11 sets of classified records that were recovered during the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of Trump's winter home, it does help to explain why the Justice Department believed that retrieving the outstanding documents was necessary.
Federal investigators knew months before the search that Trump had been storing top secret government records at Mar-a-Lago, a private club accessible not only to Trump, his staff and his family, but paying members and their guests, along with a revolving door of attendees at various functions, including weddings, paid political fundraisers and charity galas.
The affidavit notes that Mar-a-Lago storage areas, Trump's office, his residential suite and other areas at the club where documents were suspected to still be kept were not authorized locations for the storage of classified information. Indeed, it notes that no space at Mar-a-Lago had been authorized for the storage of classified information at least since the end of Trump’s term in office.
Yet the affidavit reveals that, of the batch of 15 boxes that the National Archives and Records Administration retrieved from Trump’s home in January, 14 contained documents with classification markings. Inside, they found 184 documents bearing classification markings, including 67 marked confidential, 92 secret and 25 top secret.
The Archives referred the matter to the Justice Department on Feb. 9 after a preliminary review of the boxes found what they described as “a lot of classified records.”
THE RECORDS INCLUDED TOP INTELLIGENCE SECRETS
Agents who inspected the boxes found special markings suggesting they included information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic “signals” authorized by a court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The affidavit lists several markings, including ORCON, or “Originator Controlled.” That means officials at the intelligence agency responsible for the report did not want it distributed to other agencies without their permission.
There may also be other types of records with classified names or codewords still redacted.
“When things are at that level of classification, it's because there's a real danger to the people who are collecting the information or the capability,” said Douglas London, a former senior CIA officer who wrote a book about the agency, “The Recruiter.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has not responded to calls from Congress for a damage assessment. Sen. Mark Warner, the Virginia Democrat who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, issued a statement in which he once again called for a briefing.
“It appears, based on the affidavit unsealed this morning, that among the improperly handled documents at Mar-a-Lago were some of our most sensitive intelligence,” Warner said.
CLASSIFIED RECORDS WERE MIXED WITH OTHER PAPERS
Some of those classified records were mixed with other documents, the affidavit says, citing a letter from the Archives.
According to Archives' White House liaison division director, the boxes contained “newspapers, magazines, printed news articles, photos, miscellaneous print-outs, notes, presidential correspondence, personal and post-presidential records, and ‘a lot of classified records.’” Several contained what appeared to be Trump's handwritten notes.
Of most significant concern: “highly classified records were unfoldered, intermixed with other records, and otherwise unproperly (sic) identified.”
A president might be given raw intelligence reporting to supplement his briefings or to cover a breaking or critically important matter, said David Priess, a former CIA officer and White House briefer who wrote “The President’s Book of Secrets,” a history of the President’s Daily Brief.
But it would be “unusual, if not unprecedented, for a president to keep it and to intermingle it with other papers,” he said.
“Even though I was prepared for this because I knew the judge would not approve a search based on something minor, the breadth and depth of the careless handling of classified information is truly shocking,” Priess said.
TRUMP HAD REPEATED OPPORTUNITIES TO RETURN THE DOCUMENTS
The affidavit makes clear yet again that Trump had numerous opportunities to return the documents to the government, but simply chose not to.
A lengthy process to retrieve the documents had been underway essentially since Trump left the White House. The document states that, on or about May 6, 2021, the Archives made a request for the missing records “and continued to make requests until approximately late December 2021” when it was informed 12 boxes were found and ready for retrieval from the club.
The affidavit makes clear that the Department of Justice's criminal investigation concerns not just the improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces and the potentially unlawful concealment or removal of government records, but says investigators had “probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction" would be found in their search.
Trump's lawyer, in a letter that was included in the release, had argued to DOJ that presidents have “absolute” authority to declassify documents, claiming that his “constitutionally-based authority regarding the classification and declassification of documents is unfettered.” Trump has not provided evidence the documents at Mar-a-Lago were declassified before he left Washington.

TRUMP SAYS HE DID ‘NOTHING WRONG'
Trump has long insisted, despite clear evidence to the contrary, that he fully cooperated with government officials and had every right to have the documents on site. On his social media site, he responded to the unsealing by continuing to vilify law enforcement.
He called it a “total public relations subterfuge by the FBI & DOJ” and said "WE GAVE THEM MUCH.” In another post, he offered just two words: “WITCH HUNT!!!”
In an interview on Lou Dobbs’ “The Great America Show” on Thursday, he said he'd done nothing wrong.
“This is a political attack on our country and it’s a disgrace,” he added. "It’s a disgrace.” | https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/nation-world/mar-a-lago-search-affidavit-takeaways/507-295a8991-3808-47e7-b5e7-826ffc9993ab | 2022-08-26T23:44:28Z | https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/nation-world/mar-a-lago-search-affidavit-takeaways/507-295a8991-3808-47e7-b5e7-826ffc9993ab | false | 27 |
Jasper Aaron Lynch, a 26-year-old man who was shot and killed by police in West Virginia in July, is at least the 26th transgender person to die by violence in the U.S. this year, as the Human Rights Campaign noted earlier this week.
Initial media reports of Lynch’s death did not note his gender identity, but the HRC has since confirmed Lynch was transgender. On the evening of July 7, the young man was experiencing a severe mental health crisis, according to a Washington Post report on the officer-involved shooting. Police twice responded to 911 calls from Lynch’s family asking that a mental health co-responder be sent to help him. Upon making contact the second time, Lynch reportedly charged the officers with a wine bottle; the officers then fired Tasers at the man they were supposed to help, and shot him four times, killing him.
“We believe that the three police officers who answered the second 911 call could have, and should have, handled this far differently,” said Lynch’s family in a statement to local media, clarifying the victim himself was “scared” and had asked for the 911 calls to be made.
“To respond to Aaron’s mental health crisis by shooting him at all, let alone multiple times, cannot be justified,” the family wrote. “We recognize that, at times, police officers face grave and unknown dangers in the line of duty, but that was not the case for that call at our home regarding our son.”
Lynch’s death is at least the third time on record that police have killed a trans person since 2020, according to analysis from the Human Rights Campaign. More than 1,000 people have been shot and killed by police in the past year.
According to his obituary, Lynch was an avid writer and voracious student; one of his teachers recalled that instructing him was “the single most powerful reason that I know I want to continue teaching.” In lieu of flowers, Lynch’s family request donations be made to the ACLU or the Trevor Project.
“At 26, Aaron had his whole life in front of him [...] His life did not have to end like this,” said HRC’s Tori Cooper in a statement. “We demand more focus and funding on mental health care in our country, including the addition of mental health counselors to respond to certain critical situations.”
“No family should have to bear this pain,” Cooper added.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2715878797020/raiders-quick-slants-dolphins-edition | 2022-08-26T23:51:15Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2715878797020/raiders-quick-slants-dolphins-edition | true | 12721 |
Cryptojacking is the act of mining cryptocurrencies using another person’s computer, smartphone, or other electronic devices. It is often accomplished by gaining unauthorised access to the host’s computer, using its resources to mine cryptocurrencies without the host’s knowledge and such cases are increasing worldwide as per the reports.
A cybersecurity firm SonicWall recently released a report according to which the number of “cryptojacking” cases across the financial sector has risen by 269% in the first half of 2022.
It is noteworthy that this usually happens when the victim unintentionally installs a programme containing malicious scripts that allow the cybercriminal to access their computer or other internet-connected devices, such as by clicking on an unfamiliar link in an e-mail or visiting an infected website.
As per Interpol’s findings, programmes called ‘coin miners’ are used by the cybercriminal to create, or ‘mine’, cryptocurrencies.
Cryptojacking is difficult to detect, and most victims are unaware that their computers have been hijacked. But there are some signs which could indicate that someone has become a victim of such a crime.
These are:
• A notable decrease in device performance.
• Battery overheating on devices.
• Devices that shut down owing to a shortage of processing power.
• Decrease in the productivity of your device or router.
• Unexpected hikes in electricity costs.
Cryptojacking and India
There is no doubt that along with the popularity of cryptocurrency in India, several issues including “cryptojacking”, which is also called cryptocurrency mining attacks, are raising concerns.
For example, Security Endpoint Threat Report 2019 by the tech giant Microsoft stated that crypto mining malware assaults affect web users in India at a rate that is 4.6 times greater than the regional and worldwide average.
In the Asia Pacific region, India has the second-highest number of bitcoin mining assaults, after only Sri Lanka, according to the report.
Considering the threats that come with cryptocurrency’s popularity, on many occasions, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has expressed concern about such virtual currencies, which are considered highly speculative assets. Even RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has described cryptocurrencies as a “clear danger”.
News18 has reached out to some crypto industry experts to understand their perspective on such crimes and what they think about the idea of banning cryptocurrency in India.
In response, Vineet Budki, Managing Partner and CEO, Cypher Capital, said: “There are always security issues with any new technology. This doesn’t justify a complete ban.”
He believes that investing in companies or projects that are working on answers to such problems is the greatest approach to overcome such challenges.
“Security and security infrastructure have been a focus area for us at Cypher Capital and we recently invested in a company trying to solve the security issues with NFTs through analytics. Smart people are working on the cryptojacking problem at this very moment,” he added.
Another industry expert, Vikram R Singh, Founder and CEO of Antier, stated that the issue is not the presence of virtual currency, but rather occurrences of cryptojacking and other related frauds.
He said: “A restriction on these currencies may appear to eliminate the underlying problem, but it would put a stop to the seemingly boundless market for virtual currency.”
Singh believes that such issues can be reduced with increased awareness and regularisation at all levels.
According to him, businesses can guard against such dangers by implementing security measures and keeping blockchain records, as well as to avoid data leaks, users can enable two-factor authentication on all wallets.
Singh said: “Such measures with a mix of government structuring will diminish the risk of cyber crimes involving virtual currencies.”
However, in terms of cryptojacking, News18 also spoke to Dr Pavan Duggal, a Supreme Court lawyer and a well-known cyber expert.
He believes that India needs to come up with effective legal frameworks to deal with such kinds of emerging cybercrimes.
“The Indian Information Technology Act, 2000 in its current form is not adequate to deal with such newly emerging offences like cryptojacking. Even the Indian Penal Code, 1860, is not completely applicable in the context of cryptojacking,” said Dr Duggal, who is also the Chairman of the International Commission on Cyber Security Law.
While talking to News18, he said that these newly emergent cybercrimes, notably those referred to as AI crimes, must be expressly incorporated and covered under the provisions of the IT Act of 2000. He suggested that these crimes must be made punishable by harsh imprisonment, as well as penalties and must be effectively applied.
Additionally, Dr Duggal said: “India needs to create more capacity building amongst the law enforcement agencies to come up with the latest tools to deal with newly emerging crimes such as cryptojacking and awareness needs to be created amongst crypto stakeholders that they need to be aware of crypto crimes and cryptojacking and exercise due diligence.”
According to him, the stakeholders in the crypto ecosystem must also be educated on the most recent techniques for detecting, investigating, and prosecuting such rising new crimes.
Furthermore, he suggested: “There needs to be adequate training at the judiciary level, including judicial officers from the lower courts straight up to the Supreme Court and even other officers of the courts like readers, to sensitize the whole judiciary about these newly emerging crimes like cryptojacking.”
“Holistic contribution by all stakeholders shall be crucial while moving forward,” stated Dr Duggal.

Which bed alarm is best?
Bed alarms are an excellent method for maintaining your peace of mind during the times you can’t physically watch over someone in your care. They come in many forms and have a range of possible features that help you rest assured your patient is safe.
The best bed alarm is the Smart Caregiver Wireless Bed Alarm System. The monitor is wireless with a range of up to 300 feet so your patient isn’t bothered by loud alarms.
What to know before you buy a bed alarm
Bed alarm types
There are three main bed alarm types:
- Clip alarms attach to your patient’s clothing and the alarm triggers if the end attached to the alarm gets pulled out. These tend to be the cheapest and the simplest. However, the patient must be agreeable to using them because there’s nothing to stop them from unclipping themselves.
- Motion alarms detect motion in chosen areas, such as the edges of the bed or the threshold of another room. Some motion alarms can be strung together to detect multiple areas for more informed surveillance. They tend to be more expensive, and if anything crosses the alarm’s sensor it goes off.
- Pad alarms are the most common as they’re easy to use and reasonably priced. A sensor pad is placed underneath the patient and the alarm is triggered if the pad no longer detects pressure. However, they might be uncomfortable for the patient.
Power source
Most bed alarms are battery-operated. This means there are no cords for the patient to risk tripping over, and the alarm will still work in the event of power loss.
What to look for in a quality bed alarm
Sensitivity
The best bed alarm has a sensitivity appropriate to the patient. For example, pad alarms should have low sensitivity if the patient is prone to tossing and turning at night.
Alarm delay
Another factor key to patients who move around regularly is an alarm delay. These make the alarm go off a few seconds after a signal is received but won’t trigger if the patient returns.
Wireless
The best bed alarms are as wireless as possible. This means no cords to trip over, but it also often means the alarm can be brought out of the room and kept at your side. Just triple-check the range of the alarm before you take it too far.
Volume and tone
The best bed alarms let you adjust the volume of the alarm or pick from a handful of tones. Controlling volume is especially important for wired alarms. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find the balance of not hurting the patient’s ears but still being able to be heard by you.
Call
Some bed alarms have call buttons. These might only send a signal to alert you that they need attention or they may let you talk back and forth like an intercom.
Waterproofing
For pad alarms, waterproofing is essential for incontinent patients or those who tend to spill their food and drinks.
Status lights
The best bed alarms have status lights that relate varying pieces of information. The most common are low-battery and triggered-alarm lights.
How much you can expect to spend on a bed alarm
They can cost as little as $20 or as much as $200-plus. Low-cost alarms rarely exceed $50 while the average alarm costs roughly $50-$100. The most feature-packed alarms typically start around $150.
Bed alarm FAQ
How long does a bed alarm last?
A. That depends on the bed alarm. Pad alarms tend to be the least durable with most being rated to last no longer than a year. With other alarms, it mostly comes down to battery life and general wear and tear.
Is it safe to use bed alarms that use magnets with patients that have a pacemaker?
A. No. If your patient has a pacemaker, triple-check that your prospective alarm does not use magnets in any form.

With EPS Growth And More, Viva Energy Group (ASX:VEA) Makes An Interesting Case
Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad.
If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Viva Energy Group (ASX:VEA). While this doesn't necessarily speak to whether it's undervalued, the profitability of the business is enough to warrant some appreciation - especially if its growing.
Check out our latest analysis for Viva Energy Group
How Quickly Is Viva Energy Group Increasing Earnings Per Share?
Generally, companies experiencing growth in earnings per share (EPS) should see similar trends in share price. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. Viva Energy Group managed to grow EPS by 8.1% per year, over three years. That's a good rate of growth, if it can be sustained.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Viva Energy Group shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 2.4% to 5.3%, and revenue is growing. That's great to see, on both counts.
You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. To see the actual numbers, click on the chart.
The trick, as an investor, is to find companies that are going to perform well in the future, not just in the past. While crystal balls don't exist, you can check our visualization of consensus analyst forecasts for Viva Energy Group's future EPS 100% free.
Are Viva Energy Group Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. Shareholders will be pleased by the fact that insiders own Viva Energy Group shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have AU$34m worth of shares. That shows significant buy-in, and may indicate conviction in the business strategy. Despite being just 0.7% of the company, the value of that investment is enough to show insiders have plenty riding on the venture.
Should You Add Viva Energy Group To Your Watchlist?
One positive for Viva Energy Group is that it is growing EPS. That's nice to see. For those who are looking for a little more than this, the high level of insider ownership enhances our enthusiasm for this growth. These two factors are a huge highlight for the company which should be a strong contender your watchlists. We should say that we've discovered 1 warning sign for Viva Energy Group that you should be aware of before investing here.

Lucid Air Scores Fastest Production Car Run at the Inaugural Laguna Seca Hillclimb
The concept was simple: reverse course at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and have cars compete in a timed hillclimb up the legendary corkscrew, rather than down it, requiring a three-dimensionally adept racer’s mind to address the five-and-a-half-story drop backwards.
The reality yielded a surprise standout from a Silicon Valley EV startup—the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance, which happens to be the very car that scored the fastest production car run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb last June, achieved the quickest time of any production car at the inaugural timed sprint in Monterey.

With two motors producing a robust 1,050 hp, the five-seat sedan is wickedly quick in any scenario, particularly one where instant torque response and zero shift times are rewarded richly. For some perspective, the Air’s 38.89-second run beat a seven-figure Ferrari LaFerrari by nearly six seconds.
And in case you were wondering, the only vehicles quicker than the Lucid were a Porsche 908 race car, a Lotus Formula 1 race car, and a Porsche 911 remastered by Gunther Werks on racing slicks and piloted by Patrick Long—stiff competition that can’t compete with the Air Grand Touring Performance’s $170,000 starting price.
Video of the run, which can be seen above, gives an impression of the outright performance required to achieve the feat. But perhaps the biggest surprise lies in the fact that the model, which was driven in anger by Ben “The Stig” Collins, is not Lucid’s most potent weapon.
Lucid
That honor goes to the just-unveiled Sapphire model, whose three-motor, 1,200+ horsepower setup will hit zero to 60 mph in under two seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 200 mph. The model’s carbon ceramic brakes should also make it better suited for track duty, which we suspect it will begin tackling closer to when it goes into production during the first half of 2023.

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

If there was one message I wish I had received from my father, it would have been his wishes for life as he aged.
My father and I talked often about day-to-day life. When he first became ill, he told me exactly who and what were important to him in life, and why. But, during our discussions, we never dug into the details of his hopes for aging. When he was no longer able to answer those questions for himself, I had to make several difficult decisions on my own.
As his daughter and as a long-term-care specialist, I did my best to help ensure he received the care I believed he would want and that I paid for the care with the resources that he would have chosen. However, to be candid, saying that each choice was challenging is a massive understatement. This role was one of the most difficult and emotionally taxing things that I’ve ever had to do.
Seven years after my father subsequently passed away, I found myself still wrestling with these unresolved feelings. Had I chosen what he wanted? Did I act in accordance with his wishes? These are a few of the impossible questions that echoed in my mind.
To give myself a sense of clarity and closure, I wrote a letter to myself from my father’s point of view — the letter I wish he had written to me detailing where and how he would like to receive care and how he would pay for it. It’s the letter that would have instilled in me the guidance and confidence that comes from knowing whatever decision I made, my father supported me and loved me. Writing that letter was cathartic for me, but to my surprise, it was transformational for others.
Weeks later at a conference, I casually spoke with a man in his 60s, and we exchanged the typical niceties people share about what they do in their careers. During our conversation, I mentioned that I had written a letter from my father’s perspective and he asked if he could see it. I obliged and he quietly read what I had written.
When he finished, he turned to me with tears in his eyes and said, “Now I know what I’m going to do on my flight back to New Jersey. I’m going to write a letter to my family.”
Writing a letter to the future is powerful. In recent years, I’ve helped hundreds of clients write their own deeply personal letters to their families, describing their preferences for care within the context of their own family situations. Most important, these letters provide an invaluable guidepost for managing care decisions when the time comes.
Caregiving is a family affair
Over the past few years, caregiving has moved to the front of the national consciousness. The pandemic highlighted the challenges — physical, practical, emotional, and financial — that come at the intersection of age and health.
According to Northwestern Mutual’s 2021 Planning & Progress Study, more than half of Americans (53%) say the pandemic has changed their views on long-term care. As a result, many are taking specific steps toward preparing for their time of need, including increasing their savings, incorporating long-term care into their financial plan, and talking to their financial adviser.
The research also highlights the impact of long-term care on caregivers. One in five (21%) Americans reported they are currently providing care for someone. Among them, six in 10 (59%) say they had to take on new or expanded caregiving responsibilities during the pandemic. The impacts go well beyond the emotional and physical demands on caregivers: on average, nearly a third (31%) of current caregivers’ monthly budgets go toward providing care.
We are a country of planners in so many ways: education, careers, family life, homes, travel, retirement…the list goes on. However, we still don’t meaningfully talk about and plan for how we will manage aging. According to the U.S. Treasury, half of Americans who live to age 65 will have a need for long-term care services at some time in their lives—and the costs can be significant. That’s why planning for the cost of long-term care is often an important part of retirement planning.
Pick up a pen today
Creating a long-term care plan is one of the most loving things someone can do for their family, and anyone can start today by writing their own letter. Yes—an actual letter. There is real power in handwriting in a digital world.
My father and I didn’t have a conversation about his wishes until he was ill, and we certainly never had anything written down. I wish it had been a plan on paper. I would have referenced it hundreds of times during the time that he needed care — not because it had all the answers, but because it would have given me more confidence in the decisions I was making on his behalf.
This letter is not a legal document, it is a love letter.
Here are a few prompts to get you started:
Share your family history of parents or grandparents who needed care.
- Where was the care received?
- Who provided the care and how long was the care needed?
- How did this experience impact your family financially, emotionally, physically, and relationally?
- What does this experience tell you about how you would want to be cared for?
As you imagine yourself needing care, detail what matters to you.
- Where would you want to live and why? Would you want to be close to family?
- Are you in your forever house and do you want to age in place? Is it practically set up to support at-home care for a long period of time? Does it have a first-floor bedroom and bath?
- Perhaps you want to move to a retirement community that provides various levels of care. Describe what that would ideally feel like and/or name the community if you have already identified a good fit.
- As you think about the best living environment, consider whether you are very private or if you like to be surrounded by others with opportunities for a variety of activities.
Share how you envision the role of your family and friends.
- Who will be responsible for various aspects of care?
- Who would help with important financial and medical decisions if you can’t make them alone?
- How important is your community to you?
- Are you willing to be separated from your spouse if your care needs differ?
Help your family understand how your care will be funded.
- Do you have savings or long term care insurance to help cover long-term care costs? Provide as much detail as you can including the contact information for your financial adviser.
- Are there other assets or income streams that are earmarked to pay for care?
- Which assets do you hope will never be sold to cover long-term care costs?
Finally, the plan should say thank you. Whether your loved ones are the caregivers or are managing the caregiving, it is hard work. Let your family know that best-laid plans change. Tell them you know that you may be argumentative and difficult when the time comes that you need to receive care. Above all, let them know that you trust them to do the right thing and that you love them.
None of this is easy but the process can be beautiful, and I feel so blessed to be able to guide my own clients through it.
If the day comes when I need long-term care, I know it will still be hard for me and my family — just as it was for my dad and me. But the letter I wrote and the conversations I had will make what can be an emotionally fraught and scary time a little easier.
Write that letter. Have that talk. And do it now, before it’s too late.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The publisher of a weekly newspaper in New Hampshire is accusing the state attorney general’s office of government overreach after she was arrested on charges that she published advertisements for local races without properly marking them as political advertising.
The six misdemeanor charges allege that Debra Paul, publisher of The Londonderry Times, failed to identify the ads with “appropriate language” indicating that they were ads and saying who paid for them as required by state law, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office said in a news release, after reviewing cases that go back to 2019.
“This is clearly a case of a small business needing to defend itself against overreaching government,” Paul, 62, who’s also a member of the town council in Londonderry, responded in a statement.
“I would like to think the attorney generals office has more important matters to deal with than to send press releases out on misdemeanors such as this,” the statement said. “With multiple unsolved homicides over the past year, this seems a bit absurd.”
The attorney general’s office first issued Paul a letter pointing out the language omission in a political ad that ran in the weeks leading up to an election in March 2019, according to a police affidavit. The letter asked her to include the language going forward.
It issued a second letter in March 2021 after receiving a complaint about another political ad that didn’t receive the required “paid for” language, and that an investigator from the office followed up with with a phone call to her, the affidavit said.
The office sent another letter to her in September saying another ad “failed to contain” name and address information, and did not mark it as “political advertising.” She was notified that this was her “second and final warning” and if the law was violated again, the attorney general’s office “may pursue appropriate enforcement action.”
After the attorney general’s office received more complaints this year, the February and March issues of the paper were reviewed, the affidavit said. Two political ads leading up to a local election in March did not contain the “paid for” language and a third had no “political advertisement” designation, it said.
Two candidates who had placed ads during that time told the investigator that they had worked with Paul on them. They said they were not aware of language requirements and that any omissions were unintentional.
Paul, who along with her husband are the only two employees at the paper, was contacted by the investigator in May and said she originally believed the state’s complaint involved advertising rates, the affidavit said. She said she was trying to review the ads and believed that the “paid for by” address information was only required on political signage, not ads, the affidavit said.
The affidavit said altogether, nearly 60 violations in the Times and a related publication were counted between 2020 and this year.
“My understanding is that I’m accused by someone of neglecting to use the phrase, “Political Advertisements,” when it was an obvious political ad,” Paul said in her statement.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to a year in jail. Paul, who is not in custody, is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 19.
“The Londonderry Times is among the dwindling numbers of small newspapers in New Hampshire, as well as around the country,” her lawyer, Tony Naro, said in a statement Friday. “The Londonderry Times does their absolute best to put out a quality publication with limited staff and a limited budget. Ms. Paul acted with no criminal intent, denies the allegations, and is presumed innocent.”
A spokesperson for the attorney general’s office said the office could not comment on the case further but said its election law unit receives hundreds of calls or complaints about political advertising each election cycle, and that the overwhelming majority of them are resolved without opening a matter for formal investigation.
As an example of another matter the office investigated, the spokesperson provided a letter dated Aug. 8 and sent to the publisher of a periodical who is running for office regarding a complaint it received about the publisher’s own campaign ad. The letter said the candidate was not complying with campaign finance obligations and didn’t mark ads as political advertising.

Volatility ETFs Rise as Fed’s Powell Rattles Markets
The CBOE Volatility Index and volatility-related exchange traded funds jumped Friday on growing anxiety over the pace of the Federal Reserve's future interest rate hikes.
Among the best performing non-leveraged ETFs of Friday, the iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) increased 4.5% and the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY) gained 9.4%. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index surged 16.9% to 25.5, breaking above both its short- and long-term resistance at the 50- and 200-day simple moving averages, respectively.
Triggering the spike in volatility, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that the central bank will continue to hike interest rates and hold rates at an elevated level until inflation is properly clamped down, even if this means putting more strain on the economy and households.
While the central bank’s steps to slow the rate of investment, spending, and hiring “will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses,” Powell said in a speech at the Kansas City Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Those are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.”
“Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth,” Powell said in his speech.
In the upcoming September 20 to 21 meeting, officials are expected to weigh another half-point or 0.75-point interest rate hike.
“Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time,” Powell said.
“The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy,” Powell added.
The markets previously hoped that the Fed will begin holding back on more aggressive interest rate hikes and even pivot toward a looser stance in 2023, but Powell's latest announcement dashed these hopes.
“The message that Powell was really trying to convey was that we see the Fed funds futures market expecting rate cuts in 2023 and we don’t like it,” Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust, told MarketWatch, adding that Powell’s remarks were “very hawkish.”
Consequently, the greater uncertainty has rattled the otherwise complacent market.
"Because we're uncertain, we're desperate for some kind of signal from the Fed," David Bianco, Americas chief investment officer at DWS, told CNN. "But they don't have clarity themselves on it."

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped more than 1,000 points as the stock market had its biggest skid in two months Friday after the head of the Federal Reserve dashed Wall Street’s hopes that it may soon ease up on high interest rates in its effort to tame inflation.
The S&P 500 lost 3.4%, its biggest drop since mid-June, after Jerome Powell said the Fed will likely need to keep interest rates high enough to slow the economy “for some time” in order to beat back the high inflation sweeping the country.
The Dow dropped 3% and the Nasdaq composite ended 3.9% lower, reflecting a broad sell-off led by technology stocks. Higher rates help corral inflation, but they also hurt asset prices.
Investors initially struggled to make out the meaning of Powell’s highly anticipated speech. Stocks fell at first, then erased nearly all their losses, and then turned decisively lower with all but five of the companies in the S&P 500 ending up in the red.
“He focused more on the Fed’s goals rather than the path,” said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief global investment strategist at Charles Schwab. “That left the market with less to grab onto in terms of the future path for policy.”
Powell’s speech followed up on several other Fed officials, who have recently pushed back on speculation the Fed may ease up on its interest-rate hikes. The increases help corral inflation, but they also hurt the economy and investment prices.
Powell acknowledged the increases will hurt U.S. households and businesses, in perhaps an unspoken nod to the potential for a recession. But he also said the pain would be far greater if inflation were allowed to fester and that “we must keep at it until the job is done.”
He was speaking at an annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which has been the setting for market-moving Fed speeches in the past.
“He basically said there will be pain and that they won’t stop and can’t stop hiking until inflation moves a lot lower,” said Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments. “It was a mercifully short speech and to the point. Powell didn’t really break new ground, which is good since Jackson Hole isn’t a policy meeting.”
The sell-off capped a week of choppy trading that left major indexes down 4% or more for the week.
All told, the S&P 500 fell 141.46 points to 4,057.66. The benchmark index is now down almost 15% for the year.
The Dow lost 1,008.38 points to close at 32,283.40. The last time the blue-chip average had a 1,000-point drop was in May.
The Nasdaq slid 497.56 points to 12,141.71, its biggest drop since June.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 64.81 points, or 3.3%, to finish at 1,899.83.
Expectations had built through the week that Powell would try to to bat down recent talk about a “pivot” by the Fed. Such speculation had helped stocks surge through the summer. Some investors were even saying the Fed could cut interest rates later in 2023, as pressures on the economy mount and the nation’s high inflation hopefully recedes.
But Powell’s speech made clear the Fed will accept weaker growth for a while for the sake of getting inflation under control, analysts said. “Powell reiterated that the Fed is worried about rising prices, and getting inflation under control is emphatically job number one,” said Jeff Klingelhofer, co-head of investments at Thornburg Investment Management.
Perhaps giving some hope to investors, some analysts said Powell seemed to indicate expectations for future inflation aren’t taking off. If that were to happen, it could cause a self-perpetuating cycle that worsens inflation.
A report on Friday said U.S. consumers are expecting 2.9% annual inflation over the long run, which is at the lower end of the 2.9% to 3.1% range seen in the University of Michigan’s survey over the last year.
For now, the debate on Wall Street is whether the Fed will raise short-term rates by either half a percentage point next month, double the usual margin, or by three-quarters of a point. The Fed’s last two hikes have been by 0.75 points, and a slight majority of bets on Wall Street are favoring a third such increase in September, according to CME Group.
A report Friday morning showed that the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation decelerated last month and wasn’t as bad as many economists expected. It’s a potentially encouraging signal, which may embolden more of Wall Street to say that the worst of inflation has already passed or will soon.
Other data showed that incomes for Americans rose less last month than expected, while consumer spending growth slowed.
Following the reports and Powell’s comments, the two-year Treasury yield rose for much of the day, but slipped by late afternoon to 3.36% from 3.37% late Thursday. It tends to track expectations for Fed action.
The 10-year Treasury yield, which follows expectations for longer-term economic growth and inflation, initially rose then slipped to 3.02% from 3.03% late Thursday.
The Fed has already hiked its key overnight interest rate four times this year in hopes of slowing the worst inflation in decades. The hikes have already hurt the housing industry, where more expensive mortgage rates have slowed activity. But the job market has remained strong, helping to prop up the economy.
Investors got a fresh set of warnings from companies about the persistent impact from inflation and a slowing economy. Computer maker Dell slumped 13.5% after it said weaker demand will hurt revenue. Chipmaker Marvell Technology fell 8.9% after giving investors a disappointing earnings forecast. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/stocks-plunge-dow-falls-1000-points-after-fed-chairs-comments/ | 2022-08-27T00:24:40Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/stocks-plunge-dow-falls-1000-points-after-fed-chairs-comments/ | false | 36 |

A man and woman from Tulsa were sentenced in federal court this week for conspiring to distribute fentanyl, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma announced.
Jennifer Canales, 31, and Ali Bashir Milad, 33, were sentenced to 10 years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release. The two previously pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy.
On Jan. 28, 2021, Tulsa police officers located more than 600 grams of fentanyl, a pill press, a blender used to mix drugs, cutting agents and scales in Canales' home. They also found two guns and ammunition.
Canales told officers the residence was hers and that she knew that Milad, who lived there, sold drugs, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. Milad was later arrested.
Then on April 15, 2021, officers searched Canales' home again and found her hiding there. In total, they found about 1,280 grams of fentanyl in multiple bags in the home, nearly $23,000 in cash and a ledger Canales used in the drug-trafficking operation, the press release says. | https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-woman-sentenced-to-10-years-for-fentanyl-distribution-conspiracy/article_118e44bc-2587-11ed-88b8-73a54e0ce71b.html | 2022-08-27T00:28:22Z | https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-woman-sentenced-to-10-years-for-fentanyl-distribution-conspiracy/article_118e44bc-2587-11ed-88b8-73a54e0ce71b.html | true | 1 |

Volleyball is back in Reed Arena.
On Aug. 26th, Texas A&M volleyball kicked off its season by hosting its annual Texas A&M Invitational at Reed Arena. For its first game, the Aggies battled against the reigning Big West champions in Hawai’i University, a team who swept the Aggies at the beginning of the 2021 season.
The maroon and white stepped onto the court, for the first time since their win against Missouri on Nov. 27, 2021, with a new starting six and many new faces.
A&M started four new transfers, graduate setter Elena Karakasi, junior middle back Molly Brown, sophomore outside hitter Mia Johnson and junior libero Lauren Hogan. The Aggies also started redshirt junior middle back Madison Bowser and soon-to-be freshman phenom Logan Lednicky.
This matchup included a battle of two fifth-year coaches for their prospective schools. A&M coach Laura “Bird” Kuhn is entering her fifth season as a head coach for A&M volleyball with an overall record of 63-44. On the other side of the net, Hawai’i coach Robyn Ah Mow has an overall record of 86-32 and two Big West Coach of the Year awards.
The Aggies looked disorganized during Set 1 against the ‘Bows. In the first 15 serves of the match, A&M faced a seven-point deficit, and its first point of the game came from a monster block by Brown.
The Aggies struggled to get any momentum going during the first set; however, a long offseason and rusty gears seem to be the best answer for this problem. The ‘Bows took advantage of Set 1 and won 25-18.
Set 2 was a fortunate change of events for the maroon and white. After starting off the game with three lead changes and three ties, the Aggies took off on a five-point lead which included four errors from Hawai’i and a kill from Johnson.
With little-to-no college experience but tremendous skill, Lednicky took control in Set 2. After securing four kills in the first set, the Sugarland native tagged on four more kills which included the game-winning point to secure the second set 25-19.
“It wasn’t a surprise to us because we’ve seen it all preseason,” Bird said on Lednicky’s performance.
The momentum from Set 2 carried over to the third as the Aggies secured their second set in a row with a 25-23 win. Despite not being named a starter, this graduate transfer from Notre Dame took advantage of her opportunity once called onto the floor.
Outside hitter Caroline Meuth levitated for four kills in Set 3, which included the game-winning kill, and when trying to describe her serve, a cannon must be mentioned.
The Aggies went back to their Set 1 habits for Set 4. After a back-and-forth start, which included five ties and an early lead change in favor of Hawai’i, the ‘Bows went on a favorable 7-2 run. From then on, the Aggies struggled to make any sort of comeback and lost Set 4 25-17.
Things looked scary for the maroon and white after a quick 2-0 lead from Hawai'i to start Set 5. Then, the power duo of Meuth and Lednicky took over.
Before one of her kills in the final set, Meuth was seen dancing to the music on the speakers in Reed Arena. She said this, along with words from her coach, helped regulate her emotions and kept her stable during play.
“The dancing calms me down a little bit and keeps me loose,” Meuth said. “I had to stay neutral, emotionally, and listen to what is being told to me. Every play, I hear Bird telling me ‘pass to attack.’ Those three words help settle me down.”
The two had 10 kills combined in the final set of the game and chemistry seemed to flow between the six Aggies on the court as they dominated the final set and secured the set and the game with a 15-11 win.
“We love to keep it interesting, but we knew this was going to be a great tournament for us and challenge us in different ways,” Bird said. “Hawai’i is a great opponent, and we knew they were going to be greedy, defend and be smart. We knew we had to play clean and settle in after that first set.”
Meuth finished with 23 kills, 15 digs and an ace as Lednicky finished just behind her with 20 kills, two blocks and an ace, as well.
“We talk about leaning on each other, and in those moments, they did,” Bird said. “We had to change the tone after that first set, and that is what I’m most proud about. They settled back in and did their jobs and it showed.”
A&M volleyball will play its second game of the Texas A&M Invitational on Aug. 27 at 1 p.m. in Reed Arena against the No. 25 ranked University of San Diego. | https://www.thebatt.com/sports/aggies-storm-on-hawai-i-rainbows/article_a917d9be-258d-11ed-a660-ab677af29e3d.html | 2022-08-27T00:28:38Z | https://www.thebatt.com/sports/aggies-storm-on-hawai-i-rainbows/article_a917d9be-258d-11ed-a660-ab677af29e3d.html | false | 1 |

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — With Prince’s “Raspberry Beret” blaring in the background, about 20 New Hampshire educators grabbed wooden sticks and began pounding their tables to the beat.
Emily Daniels, who was leading a two-day workshop on burnout, encouraged the group including teachers, school counselors, occupational therapists and social workers to stand up inside a hotel conference room. Before long, the group was banging on walls and whatever else they could find. Laughter filled the air. A few started dancing.
“Rhythm making offers the body a different kind of predictability that you can do every single day,” said Daniels, a former school counselor who created The Regulated Classroom which trains teachers on how to manage their own nervous system and, in turn, reduce stress in the classroom.
The training session is part of a growing and, some would say long overdue, effort to address the strains on educators’ mental health.
Addressing the mental health challenges of students coming out of the pandemic has emerged as a priority for schools nationwide. Many districts, facing hiring challenges, see tending to the educators as a way to help them help students and to retain them, amid stressors that range from behavioral problems to fears of shootings.
School districts have provided increased mental health training for staff, classroom support as well as resources and systems aimed at identifying burned out teachers and getting instructors connected to help.
Karen Bowden-Gurley, a fifth grade teacher, said she attended the New Hampshire training because of teacher burnout, but she also feels student burnout.
“The demands on all of us were really high and we were trying to make up for lost time for the couple of years that they fell back on their curriculum. But we forgot that they haven’t been in school for a couple of years so they missed that social-emotional piece. We are dealing with that in the classroom.”
In a survey by the Rand Corporation, twice as many principals and teachers reported frequent job-related stress as other working adults. A study from a coalition of mental health organizations of New Orleans found educators working during the pandemic reported rates of emotional distress similar to health care workers — 36% screened positive for anxiety, 35% for depression and 19% for post-traumatic stress syndrome.
“It’s all pretty bad,” said Leigh McLean, the primary investigator at the Teacher Emotions, Characteristics, and Health Lab at the University of Delaware School of Education, who has found levels of depression, anxiety and emotional exhaustion among elementary school teachers that are 100% to 400% higher than before the pandemic.
She saw those issues increasing the most among early career teachers and teachers of color.
“So it seems like the patterns among teachers are mirroring inequities that we’re seeing in the general population with underrepresented groups being hit the hardest, which is really unfortunate,” she said.
Some districts have or are planning to invest federal COVID-19 relief money in teacher mental health, seeing it as a way to also improve the classroom environment, boost retention and ultimately benefit the students themselves. Among the states singling out teacher mental health as priorities are Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
The Atlanta school district launched a service with Emory University using federal funds to provide mental health services. Dubbed Urgent Behavioral Health Response, it funds 11 clinicians from Emory who provide emotional and behavioral assistance during school hours for struggling school employees.
A Delaware district, meanwhile, hired two social and emotional learning coaches who work to address problems teachers are having in the classroom.
“If you can imagine a teacher has a classroom where students are engaged, they are helping each other and there is a positive supportive culture, their job satisfaction is likely to be higher,” Jon Cooper, the director of the Colonial School District’s health and wellness division. “They are less likely to leave the profession, and in turn, that supports their well being.”
Houston, which started building calming rooms where students can go to decompress, is hoping to do the same for teachers, according to Sean Ricks, the Houston Independent School District’s senior manager of crisis intervention, noting that he has seen a “significant rise in teachers that were in distress.”
The rooms would be different from the traditional teacher break rooms and a place where teachers could go during time off to “calm down and chill out,” Ricks said, adding they could have “could have some aromatherapy, maybe some soft music.”
“We want them to be able to understand that we have to take mindfulness breaks and self-care breaks during the academic day sometimes,” Ricks said.
An elementary school in Indiana starts the week with Mindful Mondays, where teachers guide their classes in deep breathing techniques. There are also Thoughtful Thursdays, where a student is called on to write a letter to a staff member to show appreciation, and Friday Focus, when students and teachers talk about self-care.
“My teachers know when they need to take breaks throughout the day I want them to take those breaks,” said Allison Allen-Lenzo, the principal at O’Bannon Elementary School.
A growing number of groups offer training that incorporates breathing exercises, yoga, gentle movements and meditation.
One of these is Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education or CARE. In studies of its use among 224 New York City teachers, researchers found statistically significant improvements including reductions in emotional psychological distress, stress that comes from not having enough time as well as improvements in quality classroom interactions. Researchers also found that it extended to the students who showed increased engagement.
“Your stress level can rise without you even realizing it because your attention is so outwardly directed at everything else that’s going on around you,” said Tish Jennings, a University of Virginia education professor who led the team that developed CARE and was the lead researcher studying the program. “So what these practices do is build the capacity to be more aware of how you’re feeling at any given moment, so that you can be proactive.”
Back in New Hampshire, the educators pushed aside the tables and were mastering a series of stretching movements known as qigong. Then, they gathered in a circle for an exercise that aims to synchronizing their nervous system. Known as collective rhythm making, they began clapping their hands and snapping their fingers in unison.
The educators at The Regulated Classroom training believe these new tools — though on first glance a little unorthodox — invigorated them. Bowden-Gurley felt they allowed her to “train her brain to think differently” and planned to use them in the classroom to build a better sense of community and more confidence with her students.
Kelly Hurd, a kindergarten teacher, said the training gave her a sense of what is possible going into the new school year.
“I love teaching and I love the kids but it’s also hard,” Hurd, who experienced burnout before the pandemic and was part of the New Hampshire training, said. “The pandemic was so hard and so impactful and so stressful. I feel a sense of renewal and excitement and I do feel like I’ve been given permission to have more fun and focus on joy in school.”

GMA fans threaten to boycott morning show as they cannot ‘stand to watch’ until ‘missing’ host returns
GOOD Morning America fans are up in arms over the still-absent George Stephanopoulos.
Now, many are threatening to boycott the show until the popular host returns.
The 61-year-old has been missing from the morning show for three weeks now.
And there's no clue when, or even if, he will be back.
On Twitter, fans are getting frustrated.
"I might be late to the party, but I cannot watch Good Morning America until (George Stephanopoulos) comes back," one fan tweeted.
Another added: "I have to turn it off when he’s not on!"
While a third confirmed: "I've been turning the channel for the past two weeks!"
George was last seen on the show on August 12th.
The TV personality has hosted the daytime show for 13 years.
Most read in Entertainment
Gio Benitez is filling in for the host during his time away and has been joined by Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and Amy Robach.
Fans have shown concern for him online as he has not posted on social media since before his absence.
GONE FOR GOOD?
George was missing once again from Friday's broadcast, and viewers are now theorizing on Twitter that George has left the show for good.
One wrote: "Ugh Georgey Porgey where is he! Did he get fired or quit? It’s going into the third week now of him missing."
During George's absence, his wife Ali Wentworth posted a photo of them on vacation together.
While in Greece, the couple snapped a photo where they warmly embraced each other in front of a pool.
She captioned the post: "Greece with my Greek."
Fans claimed George looked like he has retired in the photos.
"The pics on his wife’s IG page almost make it seem like he’s retired or at least gearing up to retire sad," they wrote.
VACAY TIME
The This Week host isn't the only morning fixture to be missed.
Earlier this week, TJ Holmes delighted his fans by returning to Good Morning America after explaining the reason for his absence.
The anchor, 45, posted on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing that he had been on vacation during his time away from the screen.
Sharing an image from behind his desk, TJ - who hosts GMA and GMA3 - said it was "good to be back".
He added: "And still look a little island drunk in this snap. (Disclaimer: I am not still island drunk in this pic.) #vaca."
Most recently, co-host Robin Roberts shocked fans after she announced she is taking a short break of her own,
But unlike her peers, Robin's vacation is expected to be much shorter, and she is due to return in early September. | https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6088979/gma-boycott-morning-show-missing-host-returns/ | 2022-08-27T00:51:13Z | https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6088979/gma-boycott-morning-show-missing-host-returns/ | false | 1 |
It's being called the largest art auction in history, as Christie's auction house is set to auction off an estimated $1 billion collection from the late co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen.
According to Christie's, the proceeds from the action will be donated to charitable causes.
The massive collection includes one-of-a-kind pieces from art greats like Botticelli, Renoir, David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein.
Allen co-founded Microsoft in 1975 with his friend Bill Gates. Mr. Allen left his role at Microsoft in 1983 after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
He remained on the company's board until 2000, despite a reportedly rough relationship at times, with Gates.
He died in 2018 at the age of 65.
As the BBC reported, 150 works will go up for auction.
Guillaume Cerutti, CEO of Christie's, said, "The inspirational figure of Paul Allen, the extraordinary quality and diversity of works, and the dedication of all proceeds to philanthropy, create a unique combination that will make the sale of the Paul G Allen Collection an event of unprecedented magnitude." | https://www.kxlh.com/news/national/largest-art-auction-in-history-estimated-1bn-collection-from-microsoft-co-founder-to-be-sold | 2022-08-27T00:51:54Z | https://www.kxlh.com/news/national/largest-art-auction-in-history-estimated-1bn-collection-from-microsoft-co-founder-to-be-sold | true | 17 |
Kevin Durant was linked to several teams after he requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets on June 30. Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams said he was shocked by the rumors linking KD to the Suns.
The rumors centered around Durant wanting to play with Devin Booker.
Now that KD has agreed to stay with the Nets for at least next season, putting all the trade rumors to rest, Williams had the opportunity to speak.
"People don't understand how hard trades are to pull off," Williams said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. "When I first heard about the Kevin Durant stuff, I was kind of blown away just because we've been so blessed to have guys who wanna come. At the same time, at the expense of what, is what I was thinking.
"I like our team. I love our guys. But I wasn't going to have conversations that did not need to be had. I think our guys are mature enough to understand that part of our business. So, I didn't want to have conversations about stuff that didn't need to be brought up, and part of it is because I've been in the business so long. It's just hard to pull trades off."
The need for the Suns to bolster their ranks could be one of the reasons the NBA community ate up the rumors. In 2021, the Suns blew a 2-0 series lead against the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals, losing 4-2. Last year, they also blew a 2-0 lead against the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals.
Can Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets win the 2023 title
The Nets have endured a tumultuous offseason, with trade rumors surrounding their key players. However, the key stakeholders have decided to run it back.
Durant will play the 2022-23 season with the Nets, as well as Kyrie Irving. The All-Star guard exercised his player option for next season.
Since joining the Nets, KD has failed to lead the team past the Eastern Conference semifinals. Last season, they were swept in the first round by the Boston Celtics.
All of that could change with the availability of Ben Simmons and the return of Joe Harris. Simmons was unavailable after he joined the Nets at the trade deadline due to a back injury.
Harris sustained an ankle injury early in the season, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. With Harris, the Nets will have another elite 3-point shooter.
NBA analyst Brian Windhorst has suggested that Simmons play as the center, alongside Durant, Irving, Harris and Seth Curry. While they will lack size in the paint, they could arguably be the most lethal shooting lineup ever.
With all the players locked in, the Nets have the talent to go all the way to the finals. With two roster spots open, they could also improve their squad depth with a big man. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/we-ve-blessed-guys-want-come-monty-williams-says-blown-away-rumors-linking-kevin-durant-suns | 2022-08-27T00:53:47Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/we-ve-blessed-guys-want-come-monty-williams-says-blown-away-rumors-linking-kevin-durant-suns | true | 1 |

A new Omnitrans shuttle is meeting commuters at the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink station and whisking them to Ontario International Airport terminals two and four.
Powered by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, ONT Connect shuttles meet each Metrolink train at the Milliken Avenue station for a quick, no-wait connection to the airport.
Return service from the airport also is available.
The ride is free for anyone transferring from or to Metrolink or Omnitrans.
The “first-mile/last-mile” ride directly to and from Ontario airport “will reduce congestion and emissions associated with car trips to the airport, and provide an economical alternatives to the costs of driving to and from ONT,” SBCTA President Art Bishop said in a news release.
Cucamonga Station is a Metrolink and Omnitrans hub, with trains arriving from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles to the west and from San Bernardino to the east. Route 82 buses serving Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and Fontana, are available hourly.
The ONT Connect schedule will be coordinated with train arrivals.
On weekdays, 18 trains in each direction serve Cucamonga Station. Eight trains in each direction run on weekends.
A daily parking permit at Cucamonga Station is $4.50. General parking at ONT ranges from $3 for 30 minutes to $16 for the day.
In a statement, Erin Rogers, Omnitrans CEO and general manager, credited multi-agency partnerships for bringing “an effective, convenient way for travelers and commuters to get to the airport without traffic and parking challenges.”
“We’re pleased to provide new service that effectively connects our region,” she added.

Two killed, one hurt in Atlanta shooting
( NewsNation ) — Atlanta police report two people have died and a third is hospitalized in a shooting in Colony Square in the city’s Midtown area. One person is in custody.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting around 1:45 p.m. Monday afternoon and found two victims at the first building. One of the victims died, and the other was taken to a hospital.
While there, police received another report of a shooting at a second building less than a mile away. That victim was also taken to the hospital and later died. Atlanta police said they are investigating how the two incidents are connected.
Earlier in the afternoon, police said in a tweet multiple officers were searching the area for the suspect after three people were shot.
Family sues Georgia sheriff over death in drug raidDuring the search, police said they were looking for a female they believe was responsible, according to their initial information. Officers shut down streets and told people in the area to stay inside during the search.
The suspect was found and taken into custody at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with the help of an “extensive camera network.” Police released surveillance photos of the suspect on social media . Authorities report that the security of Atlanta’s airport was never compromised.
Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp shared a statement about the incident.
“Marty, the girls, & I are heartbroken for the lives taken by this senseless killing & are holding their loved ones in our hearts & prayers. We’re also grateful for the brave law enforcement who sprang into action to protect others & arrest the shooter.”
Investigators say the acts of violence were not random.
Atlanta police told NewsNation they think the suspect may have had a dispute with a condo management company in Colony Square.
The Associated Press contributed to the report.

By COLLIN BINKLEY
WASHINGTON (AP) — For millions of Americans, President Joe Biden’s student loan cancellation offers a life-changing chance to escape the burden of debt. But for future generations of students, it doesn’t fix the underlying reason for the crisis: the rising cost of college.
The specter of heavy debt will still loom over current high school seniors — and everyone after them — since the debt cancellation only applies to those who took out federal student loans before July 1.
Among the main causes is rising college tuition: Today’s four-year universities charge an average of nearly $17,000 a year in tuition and mandatory fees, more than double the inflation-adjusted average from 30 years ago, according to federal data.
Biden’s failure to tackle the broader problem drew reproach from Republicans along with some of his fellow Democrats.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., said the loan cancellation “doesn’t address the root problems that make college unaffordable.” Instead she called for expanded Pell Grants reserved for low-income students, and targeted forgiveness for borrowers in need. Other critics included Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who said the forgiveness should have been joined by action to address the “absurd” cost of college.
“We cannot continue to trap another generation of Americans in this cruel cycle,” Bennet said.
The issue is top of mind for 17-year-old Ariel Wolfe. The high-school senior in Borden, Indiana, has older siblings who qualify for forgiveness, but she won’t. Wolfe has saved about $2,000 for college and hopes to avoid loans, but she doesn’t know if she can. She wishes Biden’s debt plan, or something like it, would be available to her and her peers, saying it would be “an incentive to have more people go to college.”
In Olathe, Kansas, high-school senior Natalie Ren said it’s frustrating that today’s college students will get relief but her class, less than a year away from college, won’t.
“So to me, it’s just like, Well, why are they getting the $10,000 taken off of their student loan debt?” said Ren, 17. “Meanwhile, we’re still going to have to take on that full responsibility.”
There’s no doubt that Biden’s debt forgiveness plan has a big upside for many Americans, if it survives the court challenges that are likely coming. More than 20 million will be eligible to get their federal student debt erased entirely, and 23 million more could get it reduced, the administration said. The plan cancels $10,000 per borrower and another $10,000 for Pell Grant recipients, for those who earn less than $125,000 a year or $250,000 per household.
Biden also extended a pandemic-era pause on federal student loan payments for what he called the “final time.” Payments are now expected to restart in January.
But without broader action, the nation’s federal student loan debt will return to today’s levels — $1.6 trillion — within five years of the cancellation, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonprofit that advocates for lower deficits.
“This doesn’t fundamentally solve the student debt problem,” said Marc Goldwein, the budget group’s senior policy director. “It will be a one-time clean slate that wipes a bunch of people off the rolls. But they’re just going to be replaced by new borrowers.”
It also creates an expectation that future presidents may forgive some share of student debt, which could make borrowers feel safer taking on debt and in turn encourage colleges to raise prices further, Goldwein said.
“This has the potential to worsen college affordability,” he said.
Even higher-education leaders said Biden’s plan should be seen only as a first step toward college affordability. The American Council on Education, a group that represents college and university leaders, called on Congress to simplify repayment options and limit student loan interest, among other changes.
“To avoid forcing current and future students into the same debt morass, we must act in a comprehensive manner to modernize the federal student loan program,” said Ted Mitchell, the group’s president.
Mitchell pointed to state cuts in higher education as a “big reason” for tuition increases at public universities and more student debt.
Anticipating criticism, Biden’s plan came with a separate proposal that aims to lower federal student debt payments in the future. The proposed regulation would create a new repayment plan with monthly payments capped at no more than 5% of a borrower’s discretionary income, down from 10% in similar existing plans.
It would also forgive any remaining balance after 10 years — down from 20 years in existing options — and it would raise the floor for repayments, meaning no one earning less than 225% of the federal poverty level would need to make monthly payments.
The idea was well received even by some critics, but taken as a whole, many saw the moment as a missed chance to pursue broader changes.
Major updates to the federal student debt system would require approval from Congress, but there has been bipartisan support for an overhaul. There are disagreements about the details, but lawmakers from both parties have shown support for expanded Pell Grants, simplified loan repayment options and a system to hold colleges accountable when their students get stuck with debt they can’t afford.
Instead of canceling debt, critics say the Biden administration should have brokered a deal to overhaul the federal loan system through legislation.
“It’s a real disappointment that we didn’t see that happen, and that instead we had this effort which to me is much more of a political solution than a policy one,” said Beth Akers, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
Others question whether a sharply divided Congress would be able to reach an accord even on student debt. Biden previously pushed hard for free community college, which many Democrats see as an answer to rising debt, but he was ultimately unable to get unified support even from his own party.
After Biden’s free community college proposal was cut from a spending bill last year, he vowed to make it happen “in the next several years,” but the effort has yet to be revived.
Even without a federal program, a growing number of cities and states have experimented with free college programs of their own in recent years.
Still the momentum around student debt has sparked hope that broader change is possible. Responding to Biden’s plan, Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia, chair of the House education and labor committee, called on Congress to take the next step. He said it will take “bold action” to make sure every student gets an education that leads to a good career.
Without bigger investments in education and improvements to the federal loan system, he said, “students will continue to take on more debt and borrowers will continue to face rising debt levels.”

YouTuber KSI is honoured by Madame Tussauds with waxwork ahead of double-header boxing bout at the O2 where he will fight twice in ONE NIGHT
YouTuber and boxer KSI came face-to-face with a waxwork of himself as he prepares for a double-header fight on Saturday.
The figure of the social media star, 29, has been created by Madame Tussauds Blackpool, and was introduced to the rapper at The O2 as he prepares to return to the boxing ring and fight twice in one night, first against Swarmz and then Pineda.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams 'JJ' Olatunji, met his doppelganger on Firday to mark its official unveiling before it goes on display on Blackpool's famous promenade.
Double smiles! The figure was introduced to the rapper at The O2 as he prepares to return to the boxing ring and fight twice in one night
The lifelike figure is wearing clothing, shoes and jewellery originally worn by the star in his Patience music video featuring YUNGBLUD.
Fans will be able to get up close and personal with the new KSI figure when it takes up residence at Madame Tussauds Blackpool on the main stage in the attraction's Festival Fields area.
KSI has had a string of hits including Really Love (featuring Craig David and Digital Farm Animals), Don't Play (with Anne-Marie and Digital Farm Animals) and Patience (featuring YUNGBLUD and Polo G).
Commenting on meeting his new figure for the first time KSI said: 'When I found out I was going to get a figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, I was quite excited. I have never been able to see myself until now and it is just incredible and weird.
Two of a kind: KSI met his doppelganger on Firday to mark its official unveiling before it goes on display at Madame Tussauds on Blackpool's famous promenade
'It is quite wild to be amongst all the people that have got a figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool; I'm honoured. I think my fans are going to have a lot of fun with my figure, maybe too much fun!'
Kyle Woodcock, Senior Attractions Manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said: 'We're delighted to welcome KSI's new figure to Madame Tussauds Blackpool and honoured that he personally unveiled it.
'He's a huge music star, with a large fan base who will be keen to meet their hero as he takes to the main stage alongside an iconic line-up of musical stars in the Festival Fields area.'
Featuring more than 80 famous faces, Madame Tussauds Blackpool gives visitors the chance to get up close with their heroes, from sporting stars to TV favourites, movie icons, singing sensations and everything in between.
It takes a team of 25 artists to work on one wax figure, spending a total of 800 hours collectively. This includes: 350 hours to sculpt the figure, 187 hours to insert a head of hair and 30 hours to make a set of teeth.
Ready to rumble! KSI will return to the boxing ring and fight twice in one night, first against Swarmz then Pineda on Saturday
KSI joins 2,000 wax figures on display around the world, with roughly 150kg of clay used to sculpt each figure equating to 23 stone, the average weight of a tiger.
Madame Tussauds Blackpool recently unveiled its first ever UK drag queen figure, RuPaul, as well as a new figure of Boris Johnson, complete with the Prime Minister's trademark untameable hair, and ahead of her Platinum Jubilee this year, the Queen.
Kyle added: 'A team of the most skilled, artistic and passionate people around the world are involved in making the perfect wax figure and attention to detail is key. The eyes are hand painted and every tiny detail is duplicated including using fine red silk threads as the veins in the whites of the eyes.
'Our costume department also works with some of the world's most sought-after designers and stylists to ensure we're getting the figure 100 percent right to ensure fans will love it. We even have donated items of clothing from celebrities' personal wardrobes that they have previously worn to an event.'
Unbeaten: KSI is unbeaten in the ring since he turned his hand at boxing and will be looking to extend that record | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11151225/KSI-introduced-doppelganger-waxwork-ahead-double-header-boxing-bout-O2-Saturday.html | 2022-08-27T01:05:12Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11151225/KSI-introduced-doppelganger-waxwork-ahead-double-header-boxing-bout-O2-Saturday.html | true | 2 |

Joseph is in the locker room and being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Joseph collided with an offensive player following an incompletion on the first drive of the game, but the extent of the injury remains unclear. The second-year cornerback appeared in 10 games as a rookie, recording 16 tackles and two pass defenses, and he's vying for an increased role in Year 2.

The Bagg Bonanza Farm is saying goodbye to summer.
Located 12 miles west of Wahpeton, just outside Mooreton, North Dakota, the farm will be open from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5. The Labor Day party is a tradition at the local landmark.
“We are closing in on the end of the season and it’s time to celebrate,” the farm stated on Facebook.
Tours of the farm cost $10 for adults and $2.50 for ages 6-12. They are free for guests under age 6. No gate fee will be charged.
“We’ll have tours going on all day long,” volunteer Norma Nosek said.
Nosek and the Bagg Bonanza Farm volunteers eagerly await the Labor Day visitors. They have planned for at least 100 guests.
“Our garden has done exceptionally well,” Nosek said. “It’s produced tremendously. I don’t have red tomatoes yet, but I’ve canned 79 pints and 50 quarts of pickled beets, as well as 50 quarts of dill pickles and 10 quarts of bread and butter pickles.”
Items from the Bagg Bonanza Farm’s garden will be served to Labor Day guests. For $15 per person, visitors will be offered roast pork or roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, bread dressing, green beans, Asian coleslaw, pickled beets, dill pickles and bread and butter.
“We’ll also have our pie and ice cream social, which is not included in the cost of a meal. It’s $5 per person,” Nosek said.
Meals will be served in the air conditioned Mule Barn. Labor Day visitors can also enjoy the music of Steve Worner, performing his “Memories” concert. Worner is scheduled to play from 12-3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5.
“It is a celebration,” Nosek said. “We’re so happy that we’ve got the farm in the condition it is in. It’s absolutely beautiful. Our buildings are in good conditions.”
Nosek is proud of the Bagg Bonanza Farm and its land.
“I always tell the tour guides, ‘Take them to the garden.’ The flowers are wonderful. It looks excellent,” she said.

Two killed, one hurt in Atlanta shooting
( NewsNation ) — Atlanta police report two people have died and a third is hospitalized in a shooting in Colony Square in the city’s Midtown area. One person is in custody.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting around 1:45 p.m. Monday afternoon and found two victims at the first building. One of the victims died, and the other was taken to a hospital.
While there, police received another report of a shooting at a second building less than a mile away. That victim was also taken to the hospital and later died. Atlanta police said they are investigating how the two incidents are connected.
Earlier in the afternoon, police said in a tweet multiple officers were searching the area for the suspect after three people were shot.
Family sues Georgia sheriff over death in drug raidDuring the search, police said they were looking for a female they believe was responsible, according to their initial information. Officers shut down streets and told people in the area to stay inside during the search.
The suspect was found and taken into custody at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with the help of an “extensive camera network.” Police released surveillance photos of the suspect on social media . Authorities report that the security of Atlanta’s airport was never compromised.
Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp shared a statement about the incident.
“Marty, the girls, & I are heartbroken for the lives taken by this senseless killing & are holding their loved ones in our hearts & prayers. We’re also grateful for the brave law enforcement who sprang into action to protect others & arrest the shooter.”
Investigators say the acts of violence were not random.
Atlanta police told NewsNation they think the suspect may have had a dispute with a condo management company in Colony Square.
The Associated Press contributed to the report.

(The Hill) – Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Friday the central bank will continue to boost interest rates and leave them at levels meant to restrict the economy until inflation steadily declines.
Speaking at the Fed’s annual policy summit in Jackson Hole, Wyo., the Fed chief said the bank will keep taking “forceful and rapid” steps to curb price growth even though it could cause higher unemployment and a recession.
“While higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses,” Powell said Friday.
“These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain,” he continued.
Powell’s speech comes as the Fed races to bring inflation down from levels last reached during the 1980s. Annual inflation as measured by personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, was 6.3 percent in July—more than twice the Fed’s target of 2 percent.
While the annual inflation rate dropped sharply in July from 6.8 percent, Powell said the brief dip “falls far short” of what the Fed needs to see “before we are confident that inflation is moving down.”
The Fed has already raised its baseline interest rate range from a span of 0 to 0.25 percent in March to 2.25 to 2.5 percent as of July, hiking borrowing costs at a historically rapid pace.
Powell did not specify whether the Fed’s monetary policy panel will raise rates by 0.75 percentage points for the third consecutive meeting at its meeting in September, or if it would opt for a smaller 0.5 percentage point hike. But he made clear the Fed will keep hiking rates and leave them at levels intended to slow the economy enough to curb price growth.
“We are moving our policy stance purposefully to a level that will be sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent,” Powell said.
“In current circumstances, with inflation running far above 2 percent and the labor market extremely tight, estimates of longer-run neutral are not a place to stop or pause.”
The Fed aims to reduce inflation by raising its baseline interest rate range, which increases borrowing costs throughout the economy.
Higher interest rates suppress economic activity by making it more expensive for households and businesses to borrow money and increasing the cost of pre-existing debts. Rate hikes also tend to slow the housing market by making mortgage payments more expensive and forcing homeowners to sell at lower prices to compensate for higher borrowing costs.
Fed rate hikes also tend to slow consumer spending as credit card rates increase and declining stock prices give wealthier households less financial wiggle room. Higher interest rates and slower consumer spending also cut into business profit margins, which often leads to declines in hiring and business expansion.
As higher rates curb consumer spending and hiring, the Fed hopes to slow the economy enough to reduce price pressures and bring inflation down without causing a recession or job losses. But Powell warned Friday that the U.S. economy will likely feel pain as the Fed continues to ramp up rates.
“Restoring price stability will take some time and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and supply into better balance. Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth,” Powell said.
Even so, Powell said the likely dip in economic growth and weaker job market is a necessary sacrifice to prevent a deeper downturn from derailing the economy for longer. He cited the recession invoked by the Fed during the early 1980s after the bank spent 15 years struggling to bring inflation down.
“History shows that the employment costs of bringing down inflation are likely to increase with delay, as high inflation becomes more entrenched in wage and price setting,” Powell said.
“Our aim is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now,” he continued.
The Fed has faced criticism from some economists and financial experts for boosting rates to restrictive levels even though many of the forces pushing prices higher are beyond the bank’s control.
The war in Ukraine has caused prices for food, oil, and other key commodities to rise and swing rapidly, pinching household budgets across the world. And while the U.S. has added roughly 2 million jobs since the start of 2022, the size of the workforce is still smaller than before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers have scrambled for years to fill a record number of open jobs, boosting wages and compensation at rapid rates to woo scarce workers.
Powell, however, said its the Fed’s responsibility to bring inflation down to stable levels regardless of the obstacles in its way.
“None of this diminishes the Federal Reserve’s responsibility to carry out our assigned task of achieving price stability. There is clearly a job to do in moderating demand to better align with supply. We are committed to doing that job,” Powell said. | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/why-the-fed-chief-says-theres-no-end-in-sight-to-rate-hikes/ | 2022-08-27T01:37:39Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/why-the-fed-chief-says-theres-no-end-in-sight-to-rate-hikes/ | true | 13 |
SPRING CREEK — Friday was a tale of two games for the Elko girls soccer team.
In its opener of the Spring Creek Cup, the Lady Indians played poorly offensively and a couple defensive lapses led to a 2-0 loss to Pahrump Valley.
Friday afternoon, Elko put together a much more cohesive performance — passing effectively and finding opportunities — posting a 2-1 victory against SECTA.
Versus Pahrump Valley
Against the Lady Trojans, Elko’s passing game did not show up.
Senior Peyton Jacaway found an early shot but missed wide to the left, and Pahrump Valley flipped the field with regularity.
Elko sophomore goalie Yanira Garcia made numerous deflections, and senior Adryanna Avena pushed a shot wide to the left of the frame.
People are also reading…
In the middle of the field, juniors Ryinn Hatch and Emely Castaneda put in some good work — both defensively and attacking.
Elko showed hustle but worked hard than it had too, not connecting passes.
In the 13th minute, the Lady Trojans created a good look on a corner kick but pushed the attempt wide to the right.
Garcia made another stop against a try by Avena, and Hatch took a rip on the other side but sent her shot wide left.
Junior Miranda Casas sent a ball ahead of the pack but Pahrump Valley junior keeper Avery Moore came forward for the scoop.
Jacaway made a nice pass to the left wing to senior Tyra Christean, but her kick flew wide right.
Garcia made a solid stuff against a shot from the left edge by junior forward Grace Miller, and the Lady Indians got lucky in the middle as a defender fell down and the ball by Avena clanged off the crossbar.
Senior Dani Ramirez made a deflection, the ball bouncing back to Jacaway — her attempt sailing wide to the left.
Avena created one more shot before the break, but Garcia made another crucial save.
At the half, the Lady Indians and the Lady Trojans were tied 0-0.
Pahrump Valley struck early after the reset, Avena turning her shoulders and getting around her defender for a cross from the left side to the opposite-right post.
Jacaway took a kick from the right side that was deflected beyond the end line, and Elko did not take advantage of the corner kick — Casas’ boot snagged by Moore.
Freshman goalie Jessica Vera made a nice rejection on a shot by Avena, but the Lady Indians did not create anything offensively and played the bulk of the game on its heels on the defensive end of the pitch.
A direct kick by Jacaway was saved by Moore, and she sent another ball wide to the right — one of Elko’s only live-ball looks at the frame in the second half.
Castaneda came close to scoring on a sweet look from Jacaway — the ball batted down — and freshman Sascha Vera had one more try from the left side.
The air came out of Elko’s balloon just before the end of the match, the Lady Trojans grabbing a 2-0 cushion on Avena’s second score — a shot from the right side crossing to the far-left corner in the 56th minute.
Versus SECTA
The Lady Indians looked like a different squad against SECTA.
After nearly allowing a goal on a wide-open miss from the middle that sailed high, Elko took a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute on a gorgeous rip from the right wing by Sascha Vera — set up with precise, quick passes from Casas and Jacaway.
Jacaway nearly put Elko on top by two, but her direct kick from distance on the right side smacked off the top of the crossbar — pushing another try wide to the right.
In the middle stages of the half, SECTA possessed the ball with more frequency — No. 3 hitting a shot over the bar herself.
But, in the 27th minute — the Lady Roadrunners gridlocked the score.
From a throw-in on the right side, No. 20 left open and torching the twine in the back of the net with a line-drive rocket.
Toward the end of the half, Sascha Vera pushed the pace down the field — Hatch having a look but seeing her shot saved by the keeper.
At the break, the Lady Indians were tied 1-1.
The second half was all Elko.
The final score was cashed quickly.
On the right side, SECTA was called for a foul — Jacaway hammering a solid try on the direct kick.
The goalie bobbled the ball over the end line, then scooped it out — Castaneda flying in for the follow.
However, the goal should be credited to Jacaway as is broke the boundary.
The Lady Indians passed with precision and created scoring chances at will, but most attempts were sent directly to the SECTA goalies.
Senior Dalyla Gaytan missed wide to the right, and Jacaway nailed a kick over the frame.
Defensively, Jessica Vera made some good saves on rare opportunities for the Lady Roadrunners.
Offensively, Christean had a kick stopped —as did Castaneda in the middle.
Gaytan missed another boot wide right, and Ramirez saw a try saved by the goalie.
The looks continued to mount, as Casas poked an attempt directly to the keeper — another ball by Jacaway saved as well.
Ramirez missed one shot wide to the right, and Jacaway sent a ball to the keeper.
Sascha Vera had an attempt wind up in the arms of the goalie, Casas bodied a ball on a corner kick but pushed it wide to the right of the frame and Gaytan and Jacaway fired the final shots — all of which resulted in SECTA saves.
The Lady Indians bounced back from their 2-0 loss to Pahrump Valley with a 2-1 win over SECTA.
Up Next
Elko will close the Spring Creek Cup with a pair of matches, opening the action early versus Moapa Valley at 7 a.m. Saturday and finishing at 11:30 a.m. Saturday against Eldorado. | https://elkodaily.com/sports/high-school/soccer/lady-indians-fall-to-pahrump-valley-rebound-versus-secta/article_930736f4-2599-11ed-9222-5b2405818a29.html | 2022-08-27T01:47:55Z | https://elkodaily.com/sports/high-school/soccer/lady-indians-fall-to-pahrump-valley-rebound-versus-secta/article_930736f4-2599-11ed-9222-5b2405818a29.html | false | 1 |
Sauber has competed in Formula 1 as Alfa Romeo since 2018, with the Italian automaker serving as both title sponsor and technical partner of the Swiss race team.
That deal will come to end after the 2023 season, Alfa Romeo announced on Friday, just hours after Audi said it plans to enter F1 in 2026.
Audi will enter motorsport’s top echelon as a power unit supplier but also as a partner of an existing team whose identity will be revealed later this year. It’s been widely speculated Audi is set to partner with Sauber, something that’s looking ever more likely with the Alfa news.
Audi’s head of development for the new F1 power unit, Adam Baker, worked with Sauber when the team raced with BMW from 2006 to 2009.
Alfa Romeo’s return to F1 in 2018 came after more than 30 years away from the sport; the automaker had previously served as both a constructor and power unit supplier. However, the current setup sees Sauber supply its own chassis and Ferrari supply the power units.
Alfa Romeo hasn’t said whether it plans to exit F1 just yet. Alfa Romeo in its statement said its “economic and industrial turnaround” targets for its brand will be achieved in 2022, and that it will now evaluate various options it has on the table for supporting its brand in the future.
It isn’t clear whether Alfa Romeo’s decision will affect the current driver lineup at the team, which consists of Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu. Both drivers have put in an impressive performance so far in 2022, especially given this season is Guanyu’s first in F1. The team currently ranks sixth in the Constructors’ standings, ahead of the likes of Aston Martin, Haas, and Williams.

Judge concedes that Trump affidavit may be heavily redacted
WASHINGTON — (AP) — A federal judge acknowledged Monday that redactions to an FBI affidavit spelling out the basis for the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate might be so extensive as to make the document “meaningless” if released to the public. But he said he continued to believe it should not remain sealed in its entirety because of the “intense” public interest in the investigation.
A written order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart largely restates what he said in court last week, when he directed the Justice Department to propose redactions about the information in the affidavit that it wants to remain secret. That submission is due Thursday at noon.
Justice Department officials have sought to keep the entire document sealed, saying disclosing any portion of it risks compromising an ongoing criminal investigation, revealing information about witnesses and divulging investigative techniques. They have advised the judge that the necessary redactions to the affidavit would be so numerous that they would strip the document of any substantive information and make it effectively meaningless for the public.
Reinhart acknowledged that possibility in his Monday order, writing, “I cannot say at this point that partial redactions will be so extensive that they will result in a meaningless disclosure, but I may ultimately reach that conclusion after hearing further from the Government.”
Several news organizations, including The Associated Press, have urged the judge to unseal additional records tied to this month's search of Mar-A-Lago, when FBI officials said they recovered 11 sets of classified documents, including top secret records, from the Florida estate.
Of particular interest is the affidavit supporting the search, which presumably contains key details about the Justice Department's investigation examining whether Trump retained and mishandled classified and sensitive government records. Trump and some of his supporters have also called for the document to be released, hoping it will expose what they contend was government overreach.
In his written ruling, Reinhart said the Justice Department had a compelling interest in preventing the affidavit from being released in its entirety. But he said he did not believe it should remain fully sealed, and said he was not persuaded by the department's arguments that the redaction process “imposes an undue burden on its resources."
“Particularly given the intense public and historical interest in an unprecedented search of a former President’s residence, the Government has not yet shown that these administrative concerns are sufficient to justify sealing,” he wrote.

Farm workers in California have made an incredible journey to drum up support for legislation that would give them easier access to voting in union elections.
The massive group of farm workers arrived at California's capitol city Sacramento after making a 355-mile journey across the state.
They walked for 24 days to raise awareness for a bill that supports, in part, mail-in voting and voting by proxy to give them easier access to making their voices heard in union elections.
While California's Gov. Gavin Newsom expressed support for the farmers and their pilgrimage, Newsom said he does not support the legislation in its current form.
Gov. Newsom said that the mail-in and proxy voting is not tested yet, and therefore he can't yet support that part of the bill.
Newsom's office is still working through key parts of the bill's language. | https://www.10news.com/news/national/california-farmers-make-24-day-pilgrimage-demonstrating-for-easier-voting-in-union-elections | 2022-08-27T01:51:14Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/california-farmers-make-24-day-pilgrimage-demonstrating-for-easier-voting-in-union-elections | false | null |
An Israeli missile attack targeting positions of pro-Iran militias in central Syria on Thursday injured two civilians, state-owned Syrian TV reported.
Israeli missiles hit sites in the city of Masyaf in Hama Province and the Syrian air defense responded to the attack, according to the report.
Masyaf has been repeatedly hit by Israeli airstrikes.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Thursday’s attack is Israel’s 21st one in Syria this year.
The U.S. forces in eastern Syria have also intensified their shelling on pro-Iran fighters, killing at least nine of them over the past 24 hours, the Britain-based war monitor said in another report on Thursday. ■ | http://famagusta-gazette.com/2022/08/26/israeli-missile-attack-injures-2-in-central-syria/ | 2022-08-27T01:52:20Z | http://famagusta-gazette.com/2022/08/26/israeli-missile-attack-injures-2-in-central-syria/ | true | null |
For thousands of years, people moved across the area connecting Europe to West Asia known as the "Southern Arc." A report published in Science shows ancient DNA data from over 720 individuals from that region over the past 11,000 years.
The study describes 15,000 years of genetic history in the Southern Arc. "Often there's an artificial distinction between Europe and Asia that people make," Iosif Lazaridis, research fellow in genetics and staff scientist in the Reich lab at Harvard Medical School, said. "For these studies, we said, we have a bunch of people who are neighbors; let's forget about such preconceptions and try to figure out how they're all related and who moved where across time."
The analysis of the peer-reviewed research provides genetic insights into old mysteries like the identities of the Minoan and Mycenaean people and the geographic origins of the Indo-European languages.

"Some very striking stories emerge thanks to the power of ancient DNA in large sample sizes."
The researchers
The team collaborated with researchers from the University of Vienna to lead a 206-person team based in over 30 countries.
Until a few years ago, it was nearly impossible to recover DNA from ancient people that were buried in certain regions like the Middle East because of the heat.
"Once you look at this many individuals across space and time in an expansive view, you start seeing connections you couldn't if you focused on only one site or period," Lazaridis said. | https://www.jpost.com/science/article-715684 | 2022-08-27T01:58:52Z | https://www.jpost.com/science/article-715684 | true | 1 |

Philippine ferry carrying 82 people catches fire; 73 rescued – Times of India
MANILA: A Philippine ferry carrying 82 passengers and crew caught fireplace because it was approaching a port south of Manila on Friday, and no less than 73 of these aboard have been rescued, together with many who jumped into the water, the coast guard and survivors mentioned.
Search and rescue efforts had been persevering with after dusk for the passengers and crew of the M/V Asia Philippines, an inter-island cargo and passenger vessel which got here from close by Calapan metropolis in Oriental Mindoro province, the coast guard mentioned.
A 44-year-old girl who was amongst these rescued was taken to a hospital with unspecified accidents.
Video launched by the coast guard confirmed flames and black smoke billowing from the ferry, which was close to different ships greater than a kilometer (a couple of mile) from the Batangas port’s anchorage space, coast guard officers mentioned.
A ship helped coast guard vessels extinguish the fireplace, they mentioned. The reason behind the fireplace was not instantly clear.
Passenger Benedict Fernandez advised DZMM radio that smoke and flames abruptly rose from the second deck as crew members had been apparently making an attempt to show an engine on and off because the ferry approached the port. There was no quick order to desert ship, however when it grew to become laborious to see due to the smoke, he mentioned he determined to leap into the water along with his two kids from the third deck, together with different passengers.
“I pushed my children off because if we didn’t jump from the top, we would really get burned because the soles of our feet were already feeling the heat,” Fernandez mentioned.
They had been rescued from the water by one other boat that approached the burning ship after which transferred to a tugboat, which introduced them to port, he mentioned.
The ferry, which was carrying 48 passengers, 34 crewmembers and 16 autos, can carry about 400 passengers, the coast guard mentioned. In the previous, there have been cases when ferries carried unlisted passengers in defiance of laws.
Sea accidents are frequent within the Philippine archipelago due to frequent storms, badly maintained boats, overcrowding and spotty enforcement of security laws, particularly in distant provinces.
In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a gas tanker, killing greater than 4,300 individuals on the planet’s worst peacetime maritime catastrophe.

Shia LaBeouf Breaks Silence About FKA Twigs Abuse Allegations, Says His ‘Failings’ Are ‘Fundamental and Real
Shia LaBeouf is finally addressing the abuse allegations made against him by ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs.
In a letter written to his former Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, the actor addressed his "failings with Twigs," who previously accused LaBeouf of abuse in court documents.
The letter was obtained by Variety. It reads:
"My failings with Twigs are fundamental and real, but they are not the narrative that has been presented. There is a time and a place to deal with such things, and I am trying to navigate a nuanced situation with respect for her and the truth, hence my silence."
In an interview with The New York Times, Twigs shared that the time she spent with the actor was "the worst thing I've ever been through in the whole of my life."
Speaking to Elle, she said she was "lucky" to have survived their relationship.
"It's a miracle I came out alive. I think it's luck. I honestly wish I could say that I found some strength and I saw this light. I wish I could say, '[It is] a testament to my strong character,' or 'It's the way my mother raised me.' It's none of that. It's pure luck that I'm not in that situation anymore," Twigs said.
After the allegations were made public, LaBeouf took a hiatus from acting. He later denied the allegations. A court date to handle the case between Twigs and LaBeouf is set for April 17, 2023.
In LaBeouf's letter to Wilde, the actor, who shared he has been sober 627 days, also addressed his departure from Don't Worry Darling, claiming he quit the movie as he was not given adequate time to rehearse.
LaBeouf wrote:
"Firing me never took place, Olivia. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. It is not the truth. So I am humbly asking, as a person with an eye toward making things right, that you correct the narrative as best you can. I hope none of this negatively effects you, and that your film is successful in all the ways you want it to be."
Wilde previously claimed LaBeouf was fired from the film for being "combative."
"I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work. His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions. He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances," Wild told Variety.
"I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them. That was my job," she continued.
LaBeouf's role was recast with former One Direction member Harry Styles, who recently received flack for his acting in a clip from the film. | https://popcrush.com/shia-labeouf-breaks-silence-about-fka-twigs-abuse-allegations/ | 2022-08-27T02:07:51Z | https://popcrush.com/shia-labeouf-breaks-silence-about-fka-twigs-abuse-allegations/ | true | 3 |

4 billion-year-old chunk of Earth's crust found below Australia
A 4-billion-year-old piece of Earth's crust the size of Ireland is lurking beneath Western Australia, new research finds.
This piece of crust is among the oldest on Earth, though not the oldest. That honor goes to rocks of the Canadian Shield on the eastern shore of the Hudson Bay, which have been dated to 4.3 billion years old. (The Earth is 4.54 billion years old.) Because Earth's crust is constantly being churned up and pushed back into the mantle by plate tectonics, most of the planet's rocky surface was formed within the last couple billion years.
However, the oldest crust that has been discovered, like the newly found chunk in Western Australia, tends to date back around 4 billion years. That suggests something special occurred in that era of Earth history, study coauthor Maximilian Droellner, a doctoral student at Curtin University in Australia, said in a statement.
"When comparing our findings to existing data, it appears many regions around the world experienced a similar timing of early crust formation and preservation," Droellner said. "This suggests a significant change in the evolution of the Earth some four billion years ago, as meteorite bombardment waned, crust stabilized and life on Earth began to establish."
The hidden piece of ancient crust is near where the oldest minerals on Earth have previously been found. In Australia's Jack Hills, researchers have discovered tiny minerals called zircons dating back 4.4 billion years. These minerals have survived even as the rocks that once held them have eroded away. The rocks around the Jack Hills, known as the Narryer Terrane, are no newbies, either: Some date back 3.7 billion years.
Geochemical hints in the sediments near this region suggested that there might be even older crust buried under newer rocks and sediments at the surface. So Droellner and his colleagues decided to test the zircons in sediments from the Scott Coastal Plain, south of Perth. The sediments on this plain erode out of deeper rocks on the Australian continent.
To do this, the researchers vaporized the zircons with powerful lasers, then analyzed the composition of two pairs of radioactive elements that the lasers had freed, uranium and lead and lutetium and hafnium. The versions of these elements trapped in these zircons decay over billions of years. The relative amounts of each version, or isotope, tells researchers how long the elements have been decaying, providing a "clock" on the age of the zircons.
This dating revealed that the rocks holding these minerals formed between 3.8 billion and 4 billion years ago.
To learn about where these minerals came from, the researchers turned to data collected by Earth-orbiting satellites. Because Earth's crust varies in thickness, gravity varies slightly across the surface of the planet. By measuring these variations in gravity, scientists can figure out how thick the crust is in different locations. This gravity data revealed a thick segment of crust in the southwestern part of Western Australia, likely to be the site of the buried ancient crust.
The old crust covers an area of at least 38,610 square miles (100,000 square kilometers), the researchers wrote in their paper, published online June 17 in the journal Terra Nova. It is buried "tens of kilometers" below the surface, Droellner said. The boundary of the ancient crust is associated with gold and iron ore deposits, the researchers found, hinting at the importance of this very old crust in controlling the formation of rocks and minerals in the region.
Understanding the formation of crust 4 billion years ago can help researchers understand how the continents first formed, the researchers wrote. This period set the stage for the planet as it is today, but few hints of the earliest Earth have survived the constant upheaval of the planet's surface.
"This piece of crust has survived multiple mountain-building events between Australia, India and Antarctica," Droellner said.

You have to see it to believe it.
Bills quarterback Matt Barkley officially became a punter in the NFL after he booted the ball for his team against the Panthers in their third preseason game.
Buy Bills TicketsFollowing the team’s punter being named in a civil lawsuit in California that accuses him of raping a 17-year-old girl last year, he did not play for the Bills.
Barkley’s first kick went a modest 33 yards.
He then following it up with a boom–Seriously.
Barkley kicked the 53 yards. Technically, it was a coffin corner, too. Barkley kept the Panthers inside their 10-yard line.
What a moment despite some tough circumstances.

What we learned from Chesterfield's win against Barnet as Spireites top National League
Chesterfield extended their unbeaten run to five matches to go top of the National League after beating Barnet 3-1.
The goals came from Ollie Banks, Akwasi Asante and Kabongo Tshimanga at the Technique Stadium on Friday night.
Here are some of the big talking points from the game...

Port Vale loanee 'apologises' to Chesterfield team-mates after red card - and now has battle on his hands for number one spot
There is only one place we can start and that is Tshimanga’s goalscoring return.
There had been a lot of talk before the game about whether last seasons 25-goal man would start this one but he had to settle for a place on the bench again.
With 20 minutes remaining he replaced the hard-working Joe Quigley, and four minutes later he had the ball in the back of the net.
The pass from Armando Dobra to send him clear was sublime, and you just had a feeling it was meant to be and Kabby was never going to miss.
It was his first goal since February, and incredibly his sixth against Barnet in his last three matches. They must be sick of the sight of him.
It will be one of the moments of the season no matter what happens from here until May. You could not help but be chuffed for him because he is so humble and very polite, and he isn’t half bad at football either!
A fit and firing Tshimanga is a scary thought with how this Chesterfield team is shaping up so far.
‘ONLY ONE JOE QUIGLEY’
Tshimanga will have to be patient though because Quigley is putting in some impressive performance up front.
Although this made it no goals in five games, his contributions are not going unnoticed and his hard work is really appreciated by everybody.
Last season there were sarcastic ‘cheers’ from some fans when he got substituted, but those days are gone. Not for the first time this season he got a standing ovation and there was even a chrous of ‘there’s only one Joe Quigley’ as he left the pitch.
He deserved a goal here, and he came very close with a header that hit the woodwork.
Good on him.
COVOLAN RETURNS
Manager Paul Cook has a big selection dilemma ahead of this early top of the table clash.
In the end he opted to recall goalkeeper Lucas Covolan after serving his three-match ban, Ross Fitzsimons perhaps a tad unlucky to drop out.
But Covolan repaid the manager’s faith, pulling off two vital one-on-one saves at crucial times in this game.
There were one or two examples of him being targeted by the opposition, and I think we can expect more attempts to get a reaction from him in the future. But hopefully he has learnt his lesson because he is unlikely to get another chance.
TOP OF THE LEAGUE
Fair enough, it does not mean anything at this stage, but it is still a nice feeling.
The bigger picture is the Spireites are performing well, are five unbeaten and have scored in every match so far. The goals are flowing from all areas, with Banks having now scored two and Asante leading the way with three. Dobra also has a goal and three assists now.
DEBUT
By no means the big headline from this encounter but it was nice to see Jesurun Uchegbulam come off the bench late on to make his debut after signing from Matlock Town in the summer. He took the place of Jack Clarke, who is not injured, in the squad.
TEAM

Sydney has exceeded an annual rainfall of two metres for the first time since 1963 as more of the wet stuff is predicted to fall on Saturday and into next week.
It’s also the first time the city has reached the record this early in the year since records began in 1859.
Saturday morning’s wet weather will possibly hang on the city’s coastal fringe throughout the day, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jordan Notara said.
“Shower activity is possible throughout the day, mostly on the coast. It looks like a general easing as we head into tomorrow.”
Sunday will bring with it a “good chance” of fog, particularly in the west.
Showery days will return on Tuesday, Notara said.
“We will start to see our next weather feature with showers and maybe storms, then onshore winds and showers through the later part of the week.”
Earlier this month, the weather bureau warned of a likely wet summer with La Nina conditions predicted to return for a third time this year.
The new alert status means there is a 70 per cent chance of a La Nina, much higher than the previous 50 per cent likelihood that has lingered for months.
Australia has experienced 19 La Nina events since 1900 and 12 have coincided with flooding in eastern states. The average rainfall from December to March in La Nina years is 20 per cent higher than the long-term average.

In 2017, Lauren Simmons earned just $12,000 a year as a full-time trader at the New York Stock Exchange.
She's come a long way since then. Now 28, Simmons is an author, producer, podcast and TV host, angel investor and board member of several financial companies. She made $650,000 in 2021 and is on track to bring in $1 million this year.
But that doesn't mean she's always been good with money. "In order to get into a good place with my personal finances, I had to be bad with it," she tells CNBC Make It.
"In order to be good with money, you have to be bad with money — period."
If you're trying to develop better financial habits, start by coming up with money rules that work for you, Simmons says. Here are three she follows.
1. Wait to make big purchases
Before buying anything over $100, Simmons waits three to six months. "I have to make sure, am I impulsively making this purchase or do I really want this purchase?"
That gives her enough time to visualize if she can live without it or not. After waiting a few months, if "it's something that you really want and you see that can incorporate it into your life, do it," she says.
2. Don't be afraid to check your bank account
"I can't be afraid to see what is in my banking account," she says.
If she can check her account without fear, "I can feel good on a week-to-week basis of where I'm at with my money and my finances, and where I'm growing."
Simmons notices that people are usually the most afraid of this rule. Seeing how much you spent can be anxiety inducing, especially if you feel that you went a little crazy on that weekend trip to California or bought a new TV for your apartment.
But, "the more you can be honest with yourself and not have those fear-based emotions about what you're spending, how you're spending and really just check in on what your spending habits are, the better it is for you," she says.
3. Readjust your investments as needed
Simmons checks her investment accounts regularly, adjusting her portfolio as needed to make sure it still aligns with her goals.
"Just because you invest in something today does not mean it's going to sit with you in a year, two years from now, because your life changes," she says.
Even if you don't touch your investments, there are other things in your budget that may need readjusting, Simmons says.
Take a look at your subscriptions, for instance. Ask yourself, "Are you actually using all your subscriptions?" Autopay is easy to forget about. But you really should stop to take a look at it every so often, Simmons says.

With preseason Week 3 officially in the books the Kansas City Chiefs can now turn their attention to assembling their 53-man regular season roster ahead of next Tuesday’s deadline.
One of the biggest storylines for the team this offseason has been the status of free agent RB Ronald Jones. He didn’t receive much work with the first team during the course of training camp. He also really didn’t see much work in the preseason until the Week 3 game against the Packers last night. It’s caused many to speculate that the former second-round draft pick might not make the team in Kansas City.
Appearing on NFL Network on Friday, Insider Ian Rapoport named Jones as one of three players to watch ahead of the deadline when it comes to trades alongside 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo and Steelers QB Mason Rudolph.
“Another player we are keeping our eye on (is) Ronald Jones for the Kansas City Chiefs,” Rapoport said. “(Jones) signed for just $1.5 million, due just $500K guaranteed. When you’ve seen the emergence of players such as Isiah Pacheco and, of course, they have Clyde Edwards-Helaire. (Jones) played pretty well last night, might that be enough to keep him on the roster? (It’s) looking OK so far, but stay tuned at a later date to see which way they end up.”
It sounds like all options are still on the table for Jones and the Chiefs, including a trade. What happens with Jones could ultimately come down to the roster crunch at other positions. Something to watch is whether Kansas City decides to carry three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. | https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/26/kansas-city-chiefs-ronald-jones-nfl-network-53-man-roster-deadline-trade-update/ | 2022-08-27T02:41:37Z | https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/26/kansas-city-chiefs-ronald-jones-nfl-network-53-man-roster-deadline-trade-update/ | false | 1 |

Cavaliers drop season opener
The No. 12 Virginia field hockey team dropped its season opener in heartbreaking fashion on Friday.
Sophia Gladieux scored the game-winner with 33.3 seconds remaining to give No. 11 Penn State a 3-2 victory over the Cavaliers in State College, Pa. Virginia (0-1) pulled its goalie before the restart, but could not score an equalizer.
After a scoreless first period, the Cavaliers got on the scoreboard 6:14 into the second when Jans Croon scored on a penalty corner from the top of the circle to give UVa a 1-0 lead. The Nittany Lions (1-0) tied it up on a penalty corner of their own with just over two minutes remaining in the half.
Virginia retook the lead on a goal from Laura Janssen with 11:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Penn State tied the game again two minutes later, scoring off another penalty corner to set the stage for Gladieux’s late-game heroics.
“It was a significant effort in a significant game to open the season,” Virginia coach Michele Madison said. “Penn State is a talented team who plays very fast and high pressure, so it was very good for us. We had high points that we can build on. We led twice in the game. Then there are parts of the game that we definitely need to address.”
Virginia closes out its opening weekend at No. 17 Delaware on Sunday at 1 p.m. | https://dailyprogress.com/sports/uva-roundup-tadder-morey-lead-cavaliers-to-season-opening-win/article_c0bd8eca-259b-11ed-b0ca-0358b507564f.html | 2022-08-27T02:52:49Z | https://dailyprogress.com/sports/uva-roundup-tadder-morey-lead-cavaliers-to-season-opening-win/article_c0bd8eca-259b-11ed-b0ca-0358b507564f.html | false | 1 |
